(Background: I live in adobe home, with 24"/ 61cm thick adobe walls in much of the structure).

Brick/stone/adobe are not insulators. They have substantial thermal mass, which means that they act to stabilize temperature. Put differently, they create a phase delay between exterior and interior temperatures changes.

The problem with this model is that it works in both ways if you live in a climate (like much of the USA) with substantial swings in typical daily temperatures between seasons.

The same massively thick stone wall that keeps the medieval castle cool in the heat of summer is also chilled to well below freezing by the deep cold of winter, and turns the castle (or whatever) into an icebox.

This is why sensible construction involves both thermal mass (stone/brick/adobe) and insulation. The former helps stabilize temperature, the latter prevents substantial gradients between the structure and the interior (or exterior) from causing major energy flow.

Thank you for sharing it. It made for a captivating read.
Yep I had that recently. I tried it another time before that and then it decided to spawn dozens of ffmpeg instances at once basically forcing me to reset my PC. It's a good idea but just not implemented well it seems.

It's still here, but people were so excited about it when it came out, and some folks actually thought it'd be usable on other platforms. Here were are years later and it's just a niche language for iPhones. Everyone who was excited about it seems to have stopped being excited because it's 100% Apple only. Like all their stuff. I mean, is there anything better than a completely closed source programming language?
> That’s where most of the cost is, so it’s ruthlessly optimized.

What about all these illegal immigrants I keep hearing about in the news? Shouldn't they depress the cost of manual labor?
I'm pretty sure it's actually a thing. About 2 months ago I was in Yerevan and went to a doctors office to re-up a prescription (I'm one of those medicating Americans) and basically everyone there was with several family members, and this wasn't even a surgery facility, just a large doctors office
Your comments about you not being as big as Instagram are the reason I really hate apple. I've noticed their push for only the top of the line apps or their own stuff for years and it has completely soured me of them. They only cater to people with money. Apple crushes innovation worse than government regulation right now. All the apps I see on the app store are major corporations. There is hardly anything by indie or single devs anymore. Android it kinda exists but Google takes the "promote the moneymakers more" approach. I just wish apple would stop being a SAAS model company and return to making great hardware again. The simple fact alone that it took them 5 years to remove butterfly keyboards from the market along with 3 years to even acknowledge they were broken and offer free repairs shows they don't care about their users at all.
Concrete is not very green or cheap. Stone quarries and transportation for modern suburbia would be very ungreen and expensive.

Aerated concrete for walls is a very awesome idea from Europe, but it’s not structural and by the time you build the structure for a typical two storey I’d bet that stick framing would be cheaper.

Euros typically put a much higher ratio of their income into housing and are willing to spend more. Same for Japan, and they build very good houses, but then tear them down after a couple of generations.
That's anti-trust at its worst. Sue Apple.

If some great catastrophe someday flattens our civilization, these reserves (and others of the sort, globally) will probably be the only oil sources accessible to civilization as it tries to rebuild. They may even be enough - we use oil at an absurd rate now, but for most of our technological development (excepting perhaps the world wars) I'd imagine it was much less.
To be fair, what they ended up with seems far from a standard round robin system, and the amount of manual tweaking they acknowledge doing indicates it’s more complicated than picking an algorithm in a textbook.
You could change the title to be "What Americans should know about life in California" and the conclusions would still be largely accurate, with the exception of Healthcare and Jobs.
Bricks are actually very poor insulators.

A wood-frame house with the framing elements filled with appropriate thicknesses of insulation is a very, very much better insulated structure than one made (only) of brick.
I don't think anyone in the industry assumes that. Apple has been known for these kinds of practices for some time now.
Pretty much. I don’t really “surf the Internet” like I did when I was younger. The web was ruined by ads long ago, and there’s very little content worth engaging in, especially without the curation that sites like HN provide.
also an argument for why they prioritize the opposite....
It's really weird to see people reject the clear science and whole-heartedly accept conspiracy theory bullshit.

You got the doffing procedure wrong btw.
Leaving out the cause of death keeps you curious. It's clickbait not compassion.
While it is not necessary to have more than a cache because of domestic shale oil, forcing an average price would be good because the market is too volatile to support large investment.

It is critical to understand that shale/tar sands oil is very expensive in terms of fugitive emissions, far more than traditional deep wells. An emissions tax is needed to capture this externalized cost. A more stable oil price and greenhouse emissions taxation would encourage better fracking engineering to reduce emissions, as well as reducing pointless consumption.
Most people who play cricket are oblivious to the physics, but they know what’s going on at a high level.

Cricketers know that shining the ball will cause swing, and they also know that (usually) the most swing occurs on mild, partly cloudy days. That’s why England has a reputation for swing conditions (if not always great swing bowling) - mild and slightly cloudy is the predominant non-rain condition from about April to October.

Other things here, like the drop/gravity step used to start sprinting, are just things coaches will drill in without thorough explanation.
Guess the difference is that Jitsi never says/says that the meetings are end-to-end encrypted. One of the questions on their page is "Are my meetings encrypted? Is encryption end-to-end?" but they never give a give a clear yes/no answer to the last question, instead they describe what they are doing (which is clearly not E2E encryption) and how it works.

But for a layperson who reads this without really knowing what E2E encryption is, won't get their answer by reading the answer, they'll finish reading with their own understanding if Jitsi supports E2E encryption or not.
Author here, nice to see this got some interest! As a very small benchmark (uh-oh!), in a console on the linked page, I tried to make/recreate 10,000 divs:

const root = document.getElementById('noughts')
m.render(root, {children: [...Array(10000)].map(_=>m('', {class: ['hi']}, 'hi'))})
m.render(root, {children: [...Array(10000)].map(_=>m('', {class: ['bye']}, 'bye'))})

wrapped with:

console.time('a'); ... console.timeEnd('a')

On my laptop (admittedly a fairly new macbook), I got (approx):

130ms to make divs from scratch
80ms to switch from 'hi'->'bye'
50ms to re-render with no changes

I'd be super interested as to what comparable figures would be for React. There's a fair bit of interesting discussion below surrounding performance, but with no datapoints.

I was already on that trend by noticing that I get more pleasure from my side projects than my 9-5 job. That also lead me to the FI/RE mindset.

Then two years ago, 3 people I knew died including the young son of close friends. Death used to be something for older people, now it's a clear possibility for me and my family too.

Last year I took 3 months off to travel around the world with my family (wife, 2 yo and 4 yo). Most of my older colleagues congratulated me and told me they wished they had done the same at my age (35). Friends my age were mostly concerned about work (impact on career, getting permission, etc) or convinced it's impossible to travel with young children.
Wow. I didn’t drop an insult or anything.
Wat a shame!
But unlike Zoom they never claimed anything different. Which is a huge difference if you ask me.
That is already factored into the comment you're replying to.
Did you have an option to require account management on the website like Netflix, Hulu, etc. do to avoid the IAP fee? It’s not clear to me if small companies are allowed to do that.
I disagree. The risks are similar to those of disclosing a security vulnerability to a company without a bug bounty. You cannot know how litigious or technically illiterate the company will be. What if they decide you're "hacking" them and call the FBI with the helpful information you included in your user agent? Crazier things have happened.

Anonymity is part of the right to privacy; IMO, such a right should extend to bots as well. There should be no shame in anonymously accessing a website, whether via automated means or otherwise.
Water is a polar solvent which is why it can dissolve polar molecules like salts. Gasoline is a nonpolar solvent so the worst you'd get is particulate matter coming from the walls, which can be physically filtered out - crude oil has to be refined to remove those kinds of impurities already so the infrastructure is ready to go.

But you can host your own and audit the source code. That has to count for something, right?
If they don’t volunteer the information it’s extraordinarily rude to ask.

This sounds all pro to me.
Underneath it is postgres, with a few key things rewritten.

It has a custom storage layer that isn't too different from a very fancy SAN. Replication is where things get to be very different. All instances use the same underlying store, so replication of storage isn't part of the postgres layer. However, reader nodes need to invalidate cache when writes occur. So they use postgres replication, but the readers skip writing to storage.

Lots of rewritten components under the hood to support this different storage paradigm, but the engine itself is still postgres.

Not sure where you get this impression. That $N00,000K is still an upper limit.

For the vast majority of jobs, while there is no "upper limit" etched into law, incomes above a certain point probabilistic impossibilities. Most jobs' incomes are distributed within some band with tight standard deviations. A retail worker will statistically never make $200K. A typical vanilla office worker won't make $1M. Anyone who does is a 5-10 standard deviation outlier. The bands are wider maybe for lawyers, doctors, software engineers, but their salaries are not unlimited. I've never heard of a software engineer that makes $10M/yr. Maybe there are one or two in the world?

For people who own their own businesses, their income is still limited by how many sales they can make, how many employees they can hire to grow, and how much time in the day they can put into the job. Still not "no upper limit".

There are vanishingly few classes of jobs with virtually no upward limit, like CEOs of mega-corporation and Wall Street traders.

Yeah me neither. Who even asked for being able to stream more videos while walking down the street or in the metro or whatever? People are already locked enough to their phones, why enable it even more ?

I just don't see any other logic in rolling in 5G than the hardware and telecoms manufacturers patting themselves in the back in selling people more useless infrastructure and hardware.

I mean, shouldn't we somehow try to alleviate the current situation of people watching their phones all the time, and not make it worse ? Part of me is happy that people are taking to the streets and destroying these high frequency emitting basestations. We haven't even tested what these do in the long run.

That comic is a terrible Reductio ad absurdum. The first one is a fair point – Apple products are not a necessity. Therefore if you think the company behind them is behaving unethically, don't buy their products in order to not support their activities.

i use devonthink.

i keep a www group (~folder) and add web archives and bookmarks to it. it's become a local internet for me.

i first search there for anything i found useful or interesting in the past. that cuts out a lot of the noise i see on google. if i can't find it in devonthink, then i visit google.

i also use devonthink with iawriter to store notes and loose thoughts, but i keep those in a separate group. [2]

I'm over fifty too but very much like what I do. The reason might be that I'm self-employed and work from home most of the time. And Epicurus is my hero. I have friends who are professors, and I wouldn't want to swap. They have little time left for science. Most of it is marketing and close combat with administration and politics. Very exhausting.
Apple continues exploiting its own users. Nothing new under the sun.

An I supposed to be surprised?

When you start dealing with Apple you should be expecting to be exploited, both as a user and as a developer.

Nice to see public officials understanding this stuff :)

So many cities have people untrained on this sort of stuff, I know there's been cities or other departments in cities deleting Facebook comments, and there's been some lawsuits over that. I kinda always got a feeling public officials feel like they are gods and above the law. Plus I think local officials can get away with things more compared to say a congress person or president since stuff they say and do have a bigger spot light on them. Probably more corruption happens at the local level is an assumption I've always had.

Then if you go on YouTube can find tons of videos where cops or city officials get mad at being filmed, people go into the lobby of their local city and film the clerk there and some of them freak out or even goes as far as assaulting the camera person. However, I think some of those YouTubers though do it just to kinda just stir things up to see how people react so they'll get views, but technically it's still a first amendment protected activity.
Ask for permissions and have nice timeout/retries.
I'm the founder of https://kontxt.io and I initially built it as a solution to effectively save and share information in context. You can save links, clone websites, convert PDFs (and most other documents since they can be converted to PDFs) to websites that's enhanced with a real-time collaboration & note taking layer. Tag everything from documents to page parts. Organize with folders. Share documents and folders with google doc like share permissions. You can upload URLs and documents directly, use the chrome extension, or even add the collaborative features to your own sites.

Check it out and let me know what you think. I'll be adding search soon, a public feed like Twitter for discovery, and a way to extract and use highlights across documents. If you try it out, like it, and want to start using it, I'll add basic search across titles and tags for you this week.
We should have started preparing the day we knew a c19 patient was in the US. I think that was late January. Definitely should have had a lockdown by late February at the latest but earlier would have been better and feasible. When the who and cdc said it was almost a pandemic, we should already have been prepared knowing that "almost a pandemic" to those organizations means the shit has hit the fucking fan and it's no longer preventable. Of course, this would have required leadership from the top and that's non-existent.
Adding ids to parts of the text and then embedding Turtle in ``` regions would go a long way to making that possible.
For those interested in a bit more about the Armenian diaspora in Los Angeles which is particularly unique, through a food/cooking lens, Chef Marcus Samuelsson just did an episode on his PBS show last week, "No Passport Required: Los Angeles."

Maybe it’s a subjective thing, for me at least I think breaking up a larger problem into a series of smaller problems tends to make it easier to understand what’s going on.
I get the feeling that the idea of "If you work hard and work smart, you will succeed" is more true in America than in the rest of the world.

Living in Germany, I think this might explain why I get into arguments with people on HN when I comment about the unfairness of the system. There may be a mismatch between our experiences.
It seems that working hard does seem to lead to success for most people in America.

I think it could be that there are fewer cracks in the system and therefore fewer people tend to fall through them as they do in Europe...
That said, as few cracks as there may be in the US system, those that do exist seem to run deep; people who fall through them may have a much harder fall; it doesn't surprise me that the US has a homelessness and opioid problem - That's what happens to people who fall through the cracks; you don't see them on HN complaining about how unfair things are (as I tend to do - Complaining is an activity reserved for partial losers, not complete losers).

In America, the winners get to shoot rockets up into space. On the other hand, the only things that losers shoot up are schools and heroin...

The difference is you're choosing your curators (e.g. Hacker News) independent of other choices you've made i.e. your hardware provider.

Would you just go along with it happily if Apple (or any other company for that matter) blocked access to Hacker News because it didn't meet their standards? Or vice versa, if Hacker News refused to serve you simply because you're using an Apple device?
Definitely echo StavrosK's point - I think the key thing is that if you want to try to be superrich and build the next Facebook or something, the best place to have a shot at it is in the U.S. (and really only in a few places there). If you want to have a nice life and are like 99% of people and won't end up the CEO of a major company, then you're better off in Western Europe
IPv6 deployment was slow because there's no real incentive. There's the address exhaustion issue, but presumably the cost of buying IP addresses on the secondary market was lower than the cost of IPv6 deployment. On the other hand, this proposal does have incentive behind it, if reports about what's in it are accurate. Authoritarian governments would love having a kill switch and subscriber identification at the packet level.
