> One of the reasons that oil can more or less easily be validated is that there is a spec to the engine and the spec can be show to be invalidated when oil is not used.

no, it's because the engine will seize and fail if you don't change the oil, and it's readily apparent to everyone when it happens.
"I have known entirely sincere people who thought they were a Seeker of Truth. They sought diligently, persistently, carefully, cautiously, profoundly, with perfect honesty and nicely adjusted judgment until they believed that without doubt or question they had found the Truth. And that was the end of the search; when they found that which they knew to be the Truth, they sought no further. They spent the rest of their life hunting up shingles wherewith to protect their Truth from the weather.

If they were seeking after political Truth, they found it in one or another of the hundred political gospels which govern men on earth; if they were seeking after the Only True Religion, they found it in one or another of the three thousand that are on the market. In any case, when they found the Truth, they sought no further; but from that day forth, with their soldering-iron in one hand and their bludgeon in the other, they tinkered its leaks, and argued with objectors."
Not trying to be rude, but isn’t the point of the Impossible burger to be just like meat while not being meat?
> How do we meet a diverse group of people?

I went to an inner-city high school, which was fairly well integrated. I took a mix of honors and regular classes. Much of my extended family consists of evangelical conservatives. Through this lens, I saw the reality of segregation in my state, city, and school. I listen more than I talk, and tend to answer with questions rather than opinions.

As an adult my filter bubble has shrunk drastically and most people I know are quite like-minded. I didn't just predict Trump winning very early in the game; I was the only person in my filter bubble who wasn't completely blindsided by his victory.

So my answer is race/class integrated public schooling with forced bussing and limits on regular/honors/AP classes (eg, nobody can take more than 60% in any given track). But of course that's highly biased by my single anecdote.
My wife is allergic to pork so I can somewhat appreciate this... otherwise I don’t get it, if you want to eat plants just eat plants. But hey if they are making money well, I get that!

Though I always wondered if the animal rights type of vegetarians eat this stuff, I would suppose they consider it a grotesque display or a mockery to dress up plant matter as animal murder.
lol but they literally said that they're not going up to eat fake beef. do you mean why did they try it? probably out of curiosity about a new food.
This doesn't make any sense. There already exist non-user-generated platforms, as mentioned in the previous comments. If you don't like the downsides of the user-generated ones, why on earth would a reasonable reaction be "this shouldn't exist" instead of "this isn't right for me so I won't use it"? What a small, petty way to see the world.
And yet if you actually try to invest for your life on this basis you will reach the end of your working life with very few assets to fall back on.
Our only recourse will be, "Well, you know, cosmologists. They don't behave like real scientists." That will sound suspiciously like "no true Scotsman", but there really is a difference between science with and without consequences.

People were forced to take particle physics seriously, and cosmology slipped in on its coattails.

I mean yeah the fake meat is gonna taste and feel like meat, that's literally the point...
I know the general internet advice is to not feed the trolls but I'll bite this time.

We know a few things:

* Based on historical temperature readings we know that the climate is now changing at a massively faster rate than the normal rate of change over billions of years.

* A hotter climate increases the risk of bushfires

* More co2 in the atmosphere creates a greenhouse effect that creates a warmer climate

* A warmer climate can store more moisture in the air leading to longer periods of no rain followed by massive downpours (https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/moisture-holding-capacity...)

* The Australian firefighters have reported that this fire season they have had much less time for reduction burns because the land spends more time being too wet to burn or far too dry to safely burn compared to previous years.

These facts have been confirmed repeatedly over the decades by actual experts. Either you have fallen victim to corporate propaganda or you have something to lose from the changes that will be required to prevent climate change.

Like all good lies, this one starts with a piece of truth. There have always been fires in Australia, where the truth stops is forgetting to mention that there have not always been fires of this scale, with fire seasons running this long.
Unfortunately the gain falls as function of temperature so you also get a lot less light and you have to pump harder (more current). So while it’s possible to somewhat compensate somewhat with the mirrors the device still has this behavior at high temperatures as the device self heats. This behavior is widely documented in the literature.

VCSELs have a smaller current aperture and the current density is higher than in an edge emitting laser. As the reliability is a function of the junction temperature and the current density, VCSELs operating at high temperatures have significantly reduced lifetime compared to an edge emitting device due to the high current density.

See for example slide 5 which shows how lifetime scales as a function of temperature and current density. For high reliability your devices need to have low current density.

OK. I mean, personally I would swallow a lot of ugly special cases before adding macros, but it's certainly in line with other people's aesthetic preferences and Rust's "C++ spirit" of a low-level language with high-level language features. I can see the logic in saying that since we need lots of fancy mechanisms for sound safety anyway, what's one more gonna hurt?

BTW, Zig manages to do both things without macros and without any special cases in the compiler. TBF, Zig's approach was unfamiliar to me until I saw it in Zig, and it is Zig's "brilliant idea" (even if it had originated elsewhere), so it's OK if Rust simply didn't consider it; Rust certainly has its own brilliant idea.
I still think GoodReads would have issues there.

The first thing Goodreads asks you to do when you create a new account is to list and rate a bunch of books you've read and either liked or hated. This is important, because they (ostensibly) want to recommend other books to you.

When I first created an account, I quickly rated maybe 50 books on a 1-5 scale I had read over the years. I didn't have most of them handy.
Ask HN: How to get PHP lamp or mamp on Ubuntu 19.10?
I recently changed my pc from windows to Ubuntu 19.10 I Love linux so much faster and simple than windows

but I want to learn php on this machine what's the best way to get MySQL php lamp or apache and all that good stuff for PHP development on this ubuntu machine?

everything seems outdated or there is always new stuff and new code hard to differinate what to use and keep up with.
That's an interesting way of putting it. Scaling will always be a problem with monolithic records like you say. I have worked on a couple of distributed ledgers with sharding and these governance models seem to be more promising. Often there is some sort of democratic voting system for stakeholders when it comes to making change to the code which can be reduced by certain cryptoecnomic rules (e.g. demurrage fees for hoarders if it uses a proof of stake consensus). You're right though, its the fact that software needs to be updated by humans so that it stays relevant and reflects stakeholder interest over time that demands decision making. And this decision making often tends to materialise in (some sort of) centralised form due to the need to regulate and promotes good decisions (i.e. by experts). The same happens through Wikipedia moderating.
If I were to pie in the sky dream up a replacement for git, I'd have it store the AST of the parsed code instead of a text file. It would solve a lot of problems with refactoring crapping all over the history. Like I said, pie in the sky. Probably never gonna happen.

Personally I don't see git's problems with large binary files and tens of millions of commits as being major issues. Those two alone are way less valuable than git's ecosystem and mindshare.

Actually, a test flight is the gold standard in aviation for return to service.

I've done maintenance test flights for operators. Basically you read the maintenance logs and do a test flight to exercise whatever was changed.
Impossible's goal isn't to make food for vegetarians, it's to try to replace meat for meat-eaters by making the facsimile very close, the ultimate goal being about the environmental effects. Something like 70% of water usage in US is for cattle production.

There was a blog posted on HN or reddit (I forget) talking abou how they were moving the tech behind their blog yet again. And went through how they did static when it was popular, reactJS, node, and a few others.

I read thinking to myself "my god, it's just a fucking blog engine, why are you spending so much time rewriting it in shit, realizing what you wrote it in has downsides, and thinking the new shiny wouldn't?".

It's like someone actually believe there's a tech silver bullet just around the horizon, rather than a new way of doing things that eases some burdens and creates others.
You are thinking of Wrong Warping. Super Mario Bros has, in essence, only one idea for warping out of the level: a table of destinations based on the screen's X location. When you pass an entry, the next entry becomes hot. If an exit is triggered (ie. entering a pipe, climbing a vine, etc), the game will go to the hot entry's starting screen.

Normally, Mario is locked to a maximum screen offset to the right (120 pixels, if I recall) and the table is written with the expectation that Mario will be in bounds when entering the warp; however, there are certain things (bumping things, etc) that that cause Mario to gain a few pixels past the limit. The warp will go to the current hot entry, which is the prior entry to the normal one.

The notorious use is 4-2. You want to use the vine to warp to level 8, but the vine has a huge animation time. There is a warp pipe farther past. It turns out that it's faster to time a series of bumps to get yourself several pixels past the screen limit and use the pipe. The game uses the vine's warp from the table, and now you can continue on without having gone through the vine animation.

So, the emulator may not representing the screen's offset correctly.

Instagram never should have activated the account and allowed any activity until the email address was verified

Essentially zero services on the internet operate this way because it increases the friction to signing up & getting started with the service.

Some services do somewhat better by including a "this wasn't me" link in the email verification email to make it as easy as possible to remove your email from the account in question. IMHO, this is a fine way to handle the problem.
Somebody undercooked your Impossible Burger.
A bit more than allegedly. Pozole used to be used to be made with human meat, which was swapped with pork precisely because it "tasted very similar" [1]

Beyond Meat/Impossible Burger were disgusting to me (compared to regular beef), and they were dyed bright red and stayed bright red when they were cooked which is weird and not like meat.

Where did you have this burger? My experience with Impossible Burgers (at The Counter) is not at all like this. They were a pretty good facsimile of meat. I’d go so far as to say they changed my opinion on meat substitutes.

Previously, I was in the same camp as all those here saying they prefer delicious food that doesn’t pretend to be meat - but I think I’d choose an Impossible Burger over that now if I was in the mood for a burger.

The Commission website is https://sfplanning.org/resource/discretionary-review

From my experience as a planner and subsequent experience as an architect, I infer that the discretionary review process tends to prevent injunctive delays via the courts. Conclusion of the quasi judicial discretionary review process exhausts due process while direct decision by the board makes overturn by a court highly unlikely because the board has statutory authority to make the decision to issue the permit. From a project development standpoint, the timeline is predictable so long as it accounts for the discretionary review process. If discretionary review doesn’t happen then the project will be ahead of schedule.

To put it another way, discretionary review tends to benefit professionals but will tend to upset those attending their first rodeo. As I mentioned elsewhere it’s often worth hiring a local real estate attorney experienced at working with the planning department.
It was expressed clumsily. The idea would be that photons can lose energy over time or space. One problem is that they would all have to lose energy at exactly the same rate as neighboring photons, so be a property of the space they are going through, not the photons themselves.

I wonder if jobs will also move in this direction.

Open source seems to be the closest thing. It's possible to shift one's time between projects gradually.

I suspect the main obstacle is that it's hard for a salary to be gradual. We need a more sophisticated scheme. Something like automatic per-issue bounties.

The thing about meat is that it tastes good

>Though I always wondered if the animal rights type of vegetarians eat this stuff

Some don't like it, but I do. As long as it resembles processed meat instead of intact animal parts (like chicken wings, for example), I'm not bothered by it at all. It might as well be any other processed plant-based food to me.
I went vegan 6 months ago.

I tried a Beyond Burger for the first time last night (and again tonight). I wasn’t expecting this, but: it looks like a burger, it cooks like a burger, it smells like a burger, and it tastes like a burger (including texture).

That said, I will likely never buy it again, and have no interest in trying new products from Impossible Foods.

My main problem with it is the lack of clarity around how healthy engineered foods like the Beyond Burger really is. Sure, it doesn’t have the cholesterol of real meat, but is a heavily processed alternative really any better?

A rather obscure (but I think worthy) entry is Bob Pape's "It's Behind You".

Pape was a programmer who wrote games on the 1980s British 8-bit Sinclair Spectrum computer and in this book he talks about his experiences both with the gaming industry at the time and how to program on such a limited machine. It's free on his website (http://itsbehindyou.atwebpages.com/download.html)
Maybe I'm being pedantic, but the problem with that test (aside from the likelihood of self-deception) is that there are people on every side of every issue who would fail it.

edit: I actually think this is a serious point, because it speaks to the difficulty of short-cutting your way to a correct opinion by looking at the character and motives of people participating in the debate.

For any political or moral position with a non-trivial number of supporters, I could find examples of proponents being cruel, irrational, intellectually inconsistent, plainly dishonest, and so on. Not necessarily an equal number of examples -- often one side of an issue really does attract worse/dumber people -- but always enough to give you a pretty dim view of that group, and by extension that side of the debate.

And unfortunately I think this plays a big role in how we actually make up our minds. It's unsurprising, and probably necessary, that we cluster issues together and apply some social heuristics rather than independently investigating every topic in depth. 'Do the people who support this set of policies seem smart and benevolent?' is a reasonable heuristic when applied to a fair sample. But unfortunately it's also a really easy heuristic to hack, simply by cherry-picking the best/worst examples. This can be done deliberately by others, lazily by ourselves, randomly by circumstance, or blindly by social media algorithms, but in each case the effect is similar.

(Of course, the extra complication is that this heuristic can easily fail even when applied perfectly. Maybe a position is attractive to many people for bad reasons, while also being attractive to open-minded experts because the facts ultimately back it up. The experts will usually be outnumbered, so a random sample will show the majority of people with the correct opinion holding it for bad reasons.)

It’s just a relatively simple calculation of (amount of energy/amount of space) * time You could have a 100w laser pointed at your eye, but if it only operates for a femtosecond it would have no effect. The light isn’t worse or better than any other form of light.
That doesn't explain 100ms delays though. Speed of light times 100ms round trip is 15,000 km.
I see your point and I don't blame you. But for myself, it is the opposite: I've always been a meat eater, and I'm looking for a vegetarian burger that mimics the taste and texture of meat as closely as possible...for many reasons, but one of the main reasons is the sheer engineering novelty of it. I can't help but cheer on these efforts and I'm always eager to try the latest attempt.
Indian pickles are different from those here in the states. In the south we don’t use vinegar almost never...
