The warming of our atmosphere is easily predicted by basic science related to greenhouse gasses and solar radiation.

This isn't disputable as randomness any more than an object can be said to have randomly fallen to the ground when dropped.

Here is one of countless sources you can find that explain this principle and the consequences: https://www.climate.gov/news-features/understanding-climate/...
Again, intermittent power source are not really useful because there are times when you need power and times when you don't, and nobody decides when there's sun or wind, not to mention seasons.

Essentially, it means renewables = coal+gas. Not so good for low emissions.
Swift Opaque Return Types and the 'Some' Keyword
What major implementations are using LLVM? Firefox is using Cranelift, Chrome is using V8, both of these shouldn't be using LLVM, AFAIK, or am I wrong?
I mean, macOS already has built in automation (with Automator) that you can write in AppleScript or JavaScript JXA. https://github.com/JXA-Cookbook/JXA-Cookbook is not very updated but its wiki contains quite a bit of useful recipes.

Why would I prefer this over the built in option?
This might be a naive question but, why is the FBI the office in charge of enforcing copyright? Especially when it comes to entertainment. Why do we get an FBI warning on a cartoon's dvd?
My config in vim and neovim is also identical. I literally downloaded neovim and just copied over my ~/.vimrc to ~/.config/nvim/init.vim and kept rolling.
Argentina Raises Export Taxes to Fund New Government’s Spending
When Google was hit with a fine in the EU for the same reason they just added a new licensing region with alternative licensing terms. It is interesting to see how Google behaves when it thinks the power balance is reversed.
Fully agreed. I am very thankful that I took typewriting classes when I was younger. I do not think it is a coincidence that I also do not have trouble with keyboards being difficult to type on, unlike 90%+ of the folks I work with. Just plain putting in the hours of practice on proper form may not be a very exciting answer, but I can't think of a more effective one.
Its like in the beginning of torrenting. Nobody willing to offer a service for everyone, for a fair price. Everybody gatekeeping selling only their stuff. And if you want everything pay this atrocious sum of money.

I tell you this will happen more often and people are willing to pay. But not pay for everything. Good thing they had going. Well it was still illegal, but hey it will happen again i tell you.
Name one problem you personally have encountered deploying systemd in production.
For me – scientifically-minded layperson, but not a climate scientist – the issue seems to be that people have conflated & confused two issues. One: that the climate was, without argument, different in the past. Two: that we are now, without argument, influencing the climate due to the extraordinary amount of carbon dioxide that we are producing.

One does not preclude the other. Was the climate different, often hotter and drier, in the past? Sure. Evidence shows that it was.

But does that mean that we aren’t leading ourselves in to a short/medium-term catastrophe by dumping enormous amounts of CO2 in to the environment now? No. The two are unrelated.

Imagine if we determined that the climate was on a natural cycle, such that the entire Earth would warm, fires and droughts would become commonplace, and that sea levels would rise as a result of global temperature. Would we just do nothing? I’d hope not. I’d hope that it would spur us in to action, to realise that our quality of life is about to radically change, that human migration will necessarily increase, that people living near the sea, or depending on water, will have their lives irrevocably changed.

That has happened in the past. We just didn’t have such a complicated society at the time, so the impacts were less. If you count the extinction of the Egyptian society as “less”.

It’s also happening now, except we are doing it. Voluntarily, with full knowledge of the ultimate result.

That seems, to people like me, a bit silly.
The numbers don't add up.
Crypto Exchange BitMex Hit with $300M Investor Suit
I completely agree. In Denmark I've experienced more than once that our healthcare system lay the pros and cons so the patients and families can make a reasonably informed choice. They straight up refuse to perform surgery on some as they are deemed unfit for the procedure.
Hardly anyone gets fired that way. Instead they go in the spreadsheet for the next round of layoffs, which are mechanical and depersonalized.
It only takes monopoly power, and enough evil to apply it absolutely.
Something is fishy about this. Netflix's infrastructure is massive, and their bandwidth usage is a big chunk of the entire internet. How could this possibly go unnoticed for any amount of time?
Climate change over time.
Designing Data-Intensive Applications: The Big Ideas Behind Reliable, Scalable - One of best industry related books I have read, and I think I need to read it couple more times. I highly recommend it.

Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle - Explains and gives you action plan for your weight loss/muscle gaining yourney. It cleary explains macronutrients, how much to eat and in what proportions. Since there is so much misinformation on internet about nutrition, this book exlpains "real truth" and makes it simple as it is.

Child 44 - Amazing novel that took place in Staljinistic Russia. Except great plot it gives you great insight in what was to live in Communist system under Staljin regime.
Where does it say hard real time?
The San Jose Mercury-News and WSJ both had full-content websites before NYT.

The Mercury-News even had a selective email feed of wire service content called Newshound. For $5 a month, you got up to 5 "hounds" (sets of search criteria), and every article matching your criteria was individually emailed to you, whether a wire story, a syndicate story, or one internally generated within Knight-Ridder. This was in 1993 if not earlier yet.
I do not get this classification. The answer is fully known to the person who tells you, just has emotional valence such that they'd prefer not answering. Or you will prefer to not having heard the answer.

Most of the time it is also possible to deduce it partially. (but careful about that) Unless it is something very unusual.
I'd like to learn more, if you're willing to provide something more than vague hints.
You're making up problems.

You have only a very limited number of grandparents that could suddenly die and need the kids to be home right now.

And why should the kids need to compensate for your problems with planning of the supper?

These were never really problems before, but now people start to force their tight schedules on kids by tracking them all around the clock. That's not okay.
This is really nice. I repeatedly wish Apple hadn’t neutered AppleScript and the scripting bridges to the point they are unusable for doing window management and suchlike.
Wow, is hero out of stock? I remember that as being a quite popular and talked about movie, not at all some niche cinema thing
I would be super interested in a detailed breakdown of their stack, I assume something built on p2p was used, otherwise the compute, bandwidth, and storage costs would be insane.
I guess Netflix needs their developers for all the random UI changes nobody is asking for and some "unrelated recommendations" engine.
I believe it's because it's an inter-state crime. Once crimes cross state borders you have to get the federal level police involved, which is the FBI.
Hmmmm. $15MM USD is nothing.

Initially I wondered if this was some kind of smokescreen, or a public response to some private action that wasn't liked.

But thinking about it... maybe it's simpler, and Google are just unimpressed someone's having a go at them for being anticompetitive. In which case this action is very concerning, because it says "yeah, we're it and we know it. Deal with it." That has significant chilling-effect potential.

Because I'm not seeing any evidence or suggestion of corruption here, but rather an interest in establishing truth.
Climate change over time. Earth actually experienced more than '4.2 Kiloyear Event'.

1.「4.2 Kiloyear event」 - A severe aridification event, occurring around 2200 B.C., that greatly contributed to the fall of the Akkadian empire.

2.「Medieval Warming Period」 - A warmer climate experienced especially in the Northern Hemisphere when Vikings and Inuit were moving to Greenland, around 800-1300 A.D.

3.「Little Ice Age」 - A cooler climate that eventually caused the demise of the Vikings, lasting from circa 1300-1850 A.D.

4.「The Holocene Era」 - Starting about 10,000 years ago, this era includes the Medieval Warming Period, the Little Ice Age, and continues all the way up until today!
yes, just listen to Greta, that's all the science good leftist like you should ever need.
The chart in the article makes recent man made global warming look insignificant compared to recent changes. Much different than the often sited xkcd, https://xkcd.com/1732/, which shows the same time period as basically a flat line. Who is right?
TeaVM: A Java Bytecode Compiler for WebAssembly
> I don't think Google should add permissions or warnings for this either as that doesn't help because people are clicking through warnings already.

There's nothing preventing them to add a developer mode enabled by typing a few lines of code in a terminal (hard for unknowledgeable users), that sounds like an excuse to remove user rights.
Ask HN: How do you screen and hire software engineers?
I've recently been tasked with screening and interviewing new hires, and have run into some issues where I feel there is wasted time and effort. My first question is, are there any good books or resources for hiring that you would recommend?

More specifically, how do you do the following:

1. Find out if someone can program at all before wasting time on them. I don't want to bring in another candidate that can't FizzBuzz or equivalent.

2. Find if someone is lying on their resume. Do you have any tricks for catching incongruities and probing them?

3. Find out if they will be a drag on the team. Whether that's lack of motivation and output, or sloppy code and bad communication.
How did you start making a change?
I feel like I'm in the same boat
This xkcd shows the long time graph into perspective with relevant notes : https://xkcd.com/1732
That’s such a fatuous analogy that I have to conclude that you are deliberately missing the point.
I knew about their paid services, my point is that you can't just go to youtube.com, sign up and sell a movie.

The links you provide show that it's still a huge barrier. The requirements for getting onto youtube arn't something you can just do if you have a movie you want to sell.

Even with the unknown ($1500? according to that comment, but no links to back it up) payment to a distributor, there's still almost certainly more hurdles and time/etc.

Compare that to the experience with, say, Bandcamp - their [pricing is transparent and up-front](https://bandcamp.com/pricing), and you can go ahead and sign up with minimal fuss. From a customer perspective, it's equally as pain and hassle free.
Stars disappeared: extreme natural phenomenon or extraterrestrial?
Esperanto has actually been criticized for being half baked. There’s this whole website on the subject from a respected expert. In particular it’s really eurocentric.
I always wanted do invest my 20 hrs into SQL.

I've already put 10 with a data analyst course so i know what a sqlite , select and joins are. I've created a not trivial query once.
Is this OK for learn some more ?
The traditional approach is dynamically loaded native libraries, and that certainly worked well when I did it in C++. The dynamic linking situation in Rust is immature, nothing like a stable ABI. Static linking has received much more attention, and the core developers can't prioritize at once. However, it can be done and I hope it can be done safely at some point.
Thanks for reminding me of this undergrad student who tried to recover the product of a bromination...

Suppose corpse desecration isn’t either, that’s not the point.
So, why aren’t you making these contributions directly to vim? Are the maintainers there not open to PRs?
Hmm weird... my senses didn't get fooled at all by the illusions in rotating circles, right facing illusion, magic tic tac toe, or ambiguous cardboard arrows.

For the other ones, it took supreme effort to see past the illusion.
Timeline of Environmental History
I'd imagine the "more subscribers than Netflix" is an inflated number
Docker is now used to release humanoid robot walking and balancing algorithms
IIRC, the price of 2 year subscription is still cheaper than the 1-year update of the old model. They even offered subscription discount when they were transitioning, so the out-of-pocket is still cheaper than the old model.
LLVM more usable for cloud vendors and such who use wasm outside of the browser. So we do have 3 quality implementations already.
Be careful about stuff like this.

There's an evolutionary reason for why it's default human behavior to avoid sensitive questions.

In general there's sort of a trend with psychology nowadays in how it identifies and teaches us how to deal with our own biases. While I think it's good to understand the origins of our biases it is not completely wise to ignore them because they are their for a reason.
There are three broad types of key switch: clicky (makes a loud click), tactile (tries to feel like there's a click but be fairly quiet), linear (no feeling except gradually increasing resistance).

There are also silent versions of tactile and linear switches.

Clicky switches are inappropriate in every office, and silent switches may be preferred in a particularly quiet office. Typical keyboards (Dell, Apple) fall somewhere between the tactile/linear and silent switch mechanical keyboards.
I think I hit the dom tree update limit on my machine. Reducing the number of items to 100 makes it work all right (using the mouse wheel, slider still not working good) but its also not really impressive.

Maybe have a look at old multithreaded BeOS demos and consider to implement something like that. For example, do some heavy work in some workers while the UI thread renders the ongoing results in a smooth animation and let users dynamically change the number workers (BeOS had a demo which allowed user to switch cpus on/off during rendering with fully responsive UI).
This can be more of a symptom of lack of trust in remote workers. I'm fine with a mostly-on live camera if you're working with a team that isn't remote and need to bridge that gap.

However, screenshots and software monitoring is a step too far for me personally.
As in, a highly pressurized gas canister? In a container that is presumably 100% impervious to HF corrosion, yet somehow also made out of a material that can withstand those pressures?

How is that safer than neutral-pressure, aqueous HF? I'm perfectly comfortable with bottled HF, to the point that I literally handled it in the dark (light-sensitive samples), but I'd never set foot in the same room as a pressurized HF gas canister. A spilled HF bottle is a major incident, but ultimately straight forward to contain, whereas an HF canister leak would kill off an entire lab.

I've done enough manifold setups and worked with enough gas cylinders to understand that they can leak in all kinds of ways, even with a wealth of experience. As I said initially: you are definitely not paranoid enough about this setup.
> So if you paid someone to kill your coworker by casting a magic spell on them you're guilty of conspiracy to commit murder?

By matter of pure legality, I suppose it would. In practicality, I doubt you could prove beyond reasonable doubt that such a person genuinely believed that witchcraft was an effective means of committing homicide.

This point is rather academic because any reasonable person believes that propositioning people on the internet who claim to be underage girls is, in fact, an effective method of propositioning underage girls.
Onlinedivorce
This hits at a fundamental point that has puzzled me about American culture for the longest time. A country that is so heavily steeped in protestant/purtanical Christian roots and yet does not even realize that one of the main components of that creed is NOT taking offense to things. In fact, taking offense to things is as sinful as actually offending someone.

It's basically a philosophical method of being a little less self-centered. It also suggests that while objective offensiveness is possible (calling someone a harsh name, etc.), most of the time offense is taken rather than given.

It is one of my favorite principles from a religion that most who practice said religion almost entirely ignore. Puzzling.
Maybe the Turkish government could put this money into a fund that companies based there can use to create open source software to de-Google Android in response.

At least no one will be able to say then that there is no competition issues.

TinyML as-a-Service: What is it and what does it mean for the IoT Edge?
I knew a guy like that and he had a very different attitude than most in this situation. The guy I knew was 100% aware of what he was doing. He said he's not poor at all, but chose to live poor to save his money and invest it instead. He said he was on track to retire at 30. The man had laser vision with his eye on the target, can't hate on him for that. He'll be the last one laughing with that "fuck you" money.
I would never work for a company that requires me to install spyware to take screenshots of my computer screen. It's Orwellian and any organizations that require it should be shamed and boycotted.

On a personal note, there are plenty of companies that don't do this, so I'm sure you can find a position that doesn't require it.
Copyright and patent authority is explicitly granted to the Federal government by Art. I, Sec. 8 of the US constitution:

The Congress shall have Power ... To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries;

As such, state courts and police forces have no jurisdiction over copyright issues; they must be handled by the federal courts and police force (the FBI).

AppleScript is awful to write and JXA is impossible to find documentation for.
After being on the disgusted end of one of these situations, I’ve learned to be more attuned to lighthearted teasing and other offhand remarks about my own behavior.

People who care about you may be trying to help you understand that you’re violating norms, but feeling limited in how they can communicate it.

It looks like more and more countries are starting to have very good reasons to partner with Huawei. It's not the kind of freedom of choice I hoped for, but it's probably better than the current duopoly.
I don't think it's that simple. You pose the issue as if it's a rational decision.

There is no rational decision in your brains choice to make you fear public speaking or fear heights. I think avoiding sensitive questions is largely the same thing.

Many people have an irrational fear and their excuse (while semi legitimate) is to try to rationalize the whole thing as you have.
Your laptop's SSD sure, 2GB/s - that 5400 rpm laptop hard disk that your user has is writing at a measly 1mb/s because the disk is also being accessed by 5 other programs.

Now the user is either queuing up a bunch of background saves leading to overload or is forced to wait 1s per keystroke.

Well done!

I guess the simple solution then is to tell the user to buy a $3000 laptop just so it's capable of running notepad.
There are plenty of resources on the topic and prior discussions on HN. People really don't want to rehash them because 1. it gets boring and 2. it leads to flamewars.

You ask "do we have enough data". Well, the same data that gives us evidence of prior climate events is the same data that shows human emissions are climatologically significant. So if we have enough data to study random changes, we have enough to study the changes we are causing.

If you want to take a stance against man-made climate change, you'll actually need to do your own research first and have a really good reason why it's wrong. Can you yourself list all the data sources that go into climatology and why they aren't adequate?
> It is one of my favorite principles from a religion that most who practice said religion almost entirely ignore. Puzzling.

There's nothing puzzling about this. Most people who practice any religion with written principles almost entirely ignore almost all of those principles. The official principles of a religion don't really have anything to do with why people affiliate to one or another.
