Go Orediggers! Mines '00 here, I was across the street in Brown Building though (CivEng).

During the last round of oil shocks ('07-'08) I remember a lot being made about the inelasticity of demand for oil, and how that made prices so volatile. I'm sure that it's still very inelastic, but now that there are non-petroleum transportation alternatives (mass-produced EVs) I'm curious to see what future oil shocks will look like, and whether we'll reduce some of that storage as price volatility goes away.
I was hoping Eclipse/Firefox would partner with Sublime Text/NotePad++. There is enough people on electron-based text editor with Atom & VSCode variant. I was hoping a different product needs to grow.

Yes, I know ST is closed-source. But as a user, I feel that its starting to hurt ST. I personally feel (not a pro-developer), ST is better than VSCode. ST is a better match for Firefox. I am hoping that the ST developer joins Mozilla.

Notepad++ has a eclipse-lite vibe. I was hoping eclipse could help Notepad++ reach linux & mac. But please dont put it in JVM, that is the original sin of Eclipse.

We need more alternatives.
Has anyone ever built an interface ( software and / or custom keyboard ) specifically for interfacing with the terrible UI / ergonomics of COBOL / mainframe systems like this?

Basically, has anyone ever built modern dev tooling or custom hardware to reduce the pain?
It's a poncho. As your clip shows, he sometimes throws the front part over his shoulder which makes it look more like a serape.

The 700 model is in my opinion a QC35 II wrapped up in a pretty package with more microphones put in and a artificially high price tag to be exclusive. I recommend you pull up the the product pages for both and compare side by side.

Sony put their efforts into producing custom chips that could upscale low res audio, they created the LDAC codec, put in chips that can detect your environment and adjust ANC accordingly, they have airplane pressure neutralization. Mind you this is all a year before the 700s came out and can be found for half the price of the 700s. They've also come out with numerous other ANC headphones since then at lower price points.

Bose may look prettier to some, but Sony is probably 4 years ahead of the game in terms of features, cost at scale, and product offerings in the space.
> Your grandparents would make their own butter, bread, many things today that are not so common.

I've never made butter, but I have used raw milk. And I've failed at whipping cream, by overdoing it. So from what I've seen, "making butter" is basically just agitating cream until the fat clumps, and then pressing out the whey.

Making bread, I admit, takes more skill.

My mother knew how to make blood pudding. But that's not something I miss very much.
Remdesivir is an analog of adenosine, one of the four building blocks of RNA. Just look at the main structure and you'll agree they look similar. It turns out the mechanism of action of this drug is that it's supposed to be confused with adenosine, so that the viral RNA replication process uses remdesivir instead of adenosine, which later breaks the RNA†.

Our body, or really, all biological processes can synthesize incredibly complicated molecules that can take human chemists a huge amount of effort to synthesize. It really is amazing how awesome our body is.

For me 3 things make it hacker friendly:

* it uses a markdown like syntax

* all syntactic characters (bold, italic, headline, tags, ...) are always displayed and not converted to rich text format (such as Slack does) while still applying the visual formatting. Like in a code editor, I see all characters which I type

* its underlying SQLite database is documented so that you can integrate/automate to your desire: https://bear.app/faq/Where%20are%20Bear's%20notes%20located/
How can there be a shortage of mask in any country. My question is wtf are leaders doing?

A basic face mask is a cloth and 2 pieces of elastic string.......

In Australia we have a shortage or all Personal Protective Equipment.

So do these leaders expect me to believe they are so useless they cannot buy a factory or 10 and start producing masks. Am I first person to think of this, I feel the world is insane.

We had 3 plus months to prepare for this.... what were all the political s doing.

I used to work in a Coca Cola can manufacturing plant as a teenager for a summer job. We made probably million plus empty cans a day. Much more complicated then a face mask
Zoom seems popular, so many are willing to sacrifice principles for using something easy. Preconceptions are big everywhere, reinforced not fixed by mod points.
Minimalism's an odd thing. I find it really depends on context. Minimalistic story telling in a video game or some such thing, is awesome, the same thing in a book, not so great and in movies can be hit or miss.

From a ui design standpoint, I can't stand minimalism most of the time. The lack of immediately apparent information and context can be infuriating. Whereas a minimalistic design in some kind of manual tool would tend to make things more straightforward and easy.

Minimalistic music can be great for setting atmosphere under certain contexts, but wouldn't be great for a dance party.

Minimalism is a tool that should be applied.to situations where 'having less is more'. Otherwise it just detracts from whatever you're trying to do and should be used sparingly.
I bought 2x QC30's (in-ear), first and second generation.

First I had to replace because it stopped charging after 10 months. I used them single every day, and I loved them. They were my first pair of active noise cancelling anything, and they completely changed my anxiety levels at work.

I remember thinking to myself 2 days after sending them back to Bose to be looked at, that I was so much more stressed without them.

I was sent a refurbished pair with new earplugs in the box 5 days later. This is almost unheard of in Australia.

That pair has been going strong for the past year, they get used when I travel long-haul - I carry them as backup.

My second pair I bought because my workplace let me expense up to $250 on headphones, they had some damage which Bose was kind enough to offer replacement for free, but now that COVID hit I've been unable to send them in for replacement. Luckily I have my backup!
I'm not sure what those controls are like, but I've got some sennheiser PXC550s. They have a touch pad which is used for controls. All controls are either a tap on a wide area (the whole earpiece) or a swipe.
This is both easy to do and intuitive. i.e. up/down for volume, foward/back for track selection. Done well I don't think not having a button is an issue.
Why wouldn't you cache the results instead of making 1440 queries per day?
SDLC is often used to emphasize that you need to be familiar with the full "Software Development Lifecycle".
When I read SDLC I just assume they mean, "you need to be able to take a project from concept to deployment (including documentation for supporting it long term)".
Depending on org structures, a lot of engineers only work on one part of that pipeline throughout their career.

Did you apply? I think it would be interesting to hear the story of what it looks like inside if you decide to work with them.
Definitely. Some other places (I think Telegram iirc) do actually create their own encryption algorithms without using existing ones. That’s what I thought rolling your own crypto scheme was. If the problem with Zoom is that they chose a poor mode for the algorithm, why doesn’t the headline say that? Creating your own encryption algorithm is way worse.

If rolling your own encryption scheme is just choosing what algorithm you use — every system does that. So it’s not headline worthy. :/ I get that zoom needs to make better choices, but the rhetoric around it has been pretty poor and unhelpful.
> is just PR

I would not dismiss the tremendous engineering + coordination effort required to pull this off as "just" PR.
I think both your and the parent's perspectives are correct for different startups.

I don't think life is going to change much for pre-revenue startups still trying to find a market fit. Now, they're back to square one working out if they've got a product that can be sold somewhere.. anywhere! Uncertainty continues as usual.

But if a startup had a fit and were marketing for growth, well.. sucks to be them, unless they were in some kind of remote-collab space.
Right. The C++ lib would need a C FFI interface for Rust to consume.
The tone on IH seems almost.. surreally unconcerned about all this.
Clicked the link thinking that this would be some sort of grander geopolitical argument(alliances, treaties, borders, size of fleet).

I have instead finally crawled out of the rabbit hole that is international submarine comparison (think https://www.gsmarena.com/ or https://youtu.be/zIjngBAxTr4 (This could be a post on its own (Do you guys think the iPhone 1 with updated internals could outsell the newest iPhone? Is this actually the newest SE ?)).

What was most surprising to me is that there is a standardized way to become an international submarine dealer. What if I told you that a
Master’s Degree in Conflict Resolution
from Georgetown University
could land you such career.
I don't know about you, but I was shocked!

I have a final question. How does Sweden's purchase choices on the submarine market explain Russia's fear of their submarines? Actually, after rereading the article, I'm not even sure what the author's whole point is?

I will now go to bed very confused about submarines :(
This is really cool, but to complete these recipes successfully on schedule you'd have to account for the ambient temperature of your house and adjust accordingly. A rise overnight at 65 degrees is going to take ~twice as long as one during the day at 75.
Microsoft and Google both spend a lot on security to ensure due diligence. Of course there still can and will be issues.

But, the situation with Zoom is vastly different. It's obvious by now that Zoom took shortcuts and even worse, actively circumvents security features of the OS and actively leverages insecure encryption (e.g ECB mode). There have been plenty of other issues also and more to come as CitizenLab has already pointed out.

So, objectively speaking its okay and I wouldn't blame anyone for seeking alternative solutions.
This brings me back to orgo lab. A six step synthesis was torture when you were graded by your final yield exactly bc of the compounding nature of small mistakes in each step. Even if you get fairly good yields of 80 to 90% per step, you’d end up with a 53% at best and hope to god that everyone else did equally badly so the curve would save you.
"It was much more exciting than I thought" is a great opening line.
Google doesn’t even want to deal with the hassle of a well maintained marketplace. Android has five times the marketshare of iOS and makes less money.

It seems like Apple’s strategy is working better for consumers and app developers...
Okay. I tend to side with the 'do everything we can' approach, on the assumption that'll save more suffering and lives, and with the anecdotal evidence coming in from regions that have not done everything they could, and with an optimistic expectation that it'll reduce the length of time it takes to bring it into manageable spread rate.

It may not have a profound impact on the spread within (and indeed outside) Russia, but it almost definitely will have some impact, and at this point that's probably sufficient reason in itself.
Minimalistic dance music (MDM) sounds like exactly what I'm missing in my life. I mean I have a bit already, but sometimes it gets to poppy. Just gotta tug on the right notes, ignore the rest.

Mix it up, but only when you need to. Don't overthink it, yet spend the time needed to make it juuuust right.

As Mark Twain famously said:

“I didn't have time to write a short letter, so I wrote a long one instead.”

P.S. `less` is literally `more` on most UNIX systems.
Do you think all rust developers are connected together like some sort of hivemind? What an open source developer chooses to spend their time on doesn't require the consideration and consolidation of the entire rust team, nor does it speak for all of them.

That said there are plenty of reasons why they shouldn't just import c++ libraries, one of them being that c++ is not the same language as rust.

Not a dark mode guy but the high contrast mockup actually looks very nice.
Incredibly, the Sony WH-1000XM3 (the 3 in XM3 is because this is the 3rd generation of the product) at this point still doesn’t have it. Similar price range, and maybe the closest direct competitor to the QC35/700 series in terms of audio quality and noise cancelling, yet it’s still missing this feature.
That's assuming it never creates any utility, which might be a fair assessment now but the same argument could have been made about many early stage innovations

This is kind of similar to Milo.com which was acquired by eBay in 2010. It was a real-time inventory monitoring/tracking service for local shopping - Shops had to install a plugin for their QuickBooks application, which would automatically update store inventory to Milo. It had a search engine front end which allowed users to find items nearby -- https://techcrunch.com/2010/12/02/confirmed-ebay-acquires-mi... and https://techcrunch.com/2011/06/15/milo-fetch-allows-local-re...

Hello there,

Thanks for the comment.
Again, here we are discussing two different things.

Interest for Zoom in the last 30 days has definitely grew and we reflect that. Take a look at https://treendly.com/trend/zoom under the "This week & month" tab.

The minus 50% is referring to the interest level of the last 30 days compared to the interest level in the previous 30 days.

Thanks for the feedback!

> Many had bought into the tech industry’s change-the-world ideals, had few boundaries between their work and personal lives and hoped for big payouts if their start-ups went public.

Surely this must be satire. The tech industry has only capitalist ideals, to ultimately seek rent from society like any other big industry, and big payouts for staff are essentially a lottery ticket.

I'm not sure I understand the question. Can you rephrase it?
Thanks for commenting!
Nucleic acids store bits pretty well.
Low yields make the process-oriented sad, but what matters is absolute ability to produce; not yield

That would be true if reagents, labour and plant equipment were free, but unfortunately they are not. Consequently you have these strange creatures called process chemists who shave steps of the discovery synthesis, increase the yield, and get around difficult reactions. It's really quite magical.

When it comes to bulk chemicals like vinyl acetate (produced at scales of kiloton per day) another consideration is waste. It cuts into profit twice: you lose product and you pay for disposal.
> Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

Why is this rule not enforced more, there is zero intellectual interest to be found on this topic, it's clearly a story about political asshattery. Just because the keyword "FCC" is in there doesn't make it relevant.
Has anyone personally encountered this problem? Do you believe in this report? Do you think something is missing?

For me, I quite like Bose products because their bluetooth pairing and connectivity seem to be significantly better than what I can get from cheaper brands like Taotronics, etc. I have always found products to be well built, even for full-plastic devices that are subject to more wear and tear than they deserve.

Ask HN: Which tools do you use for wireframes?
I'm a developer, not a web designer. I've been using Balsamiq for many years but while Sketch and Figma replaced Photoshop in many cases, I'd like to see what other tools you're using these days in order to quickly sketch some wireframes.
If you do the math in theory, it sounds like an excellent idea, and the various startups tend to portray it as risk-free to attract providers.

Of course, practice looks different, and many start-ups/gig-economy/P2P lending/... prey exactly on people who don't recognize the difference between theory and practice.

Uber looks like a great thing if you only count gas money not depreciation of your car.

That camera lending startup that made the front page a couple times ago looks like a great idea until you realize that despite their assurances which sound like you're covered, you're SOL if someone just steals your camera.
Two ideas which often I encounter together yet I have grown to find incompatible are self reliance and minimalism. If you wish to become more self reliant i.e. more able to handle for yourself rather than through another's labor the impositions you create in the world, you will find yourself needing to masters, access and eventual own many more tools and material.

My father, a man capable of building or repairing almost anything to his need lives with a shop entirely full of junk. And frequently the scrap iron or 2x4 I have mocked him for retaining has come to the rescue and helped us avoid the 60 mile trip from his home into town.

The reality is, if you wish to combine self reliance and minimalism, you essentially must embrace a life of poverty.
Zoom has been around for a while. IMHO, their sloppiness and privacy issues is typical of their class of corporate software. Having used them plenty, this does not surprise me one bit. If yoi told me the same about lync ("Skype for business") I would not be surprised one bit either.

Just one last thing: The UNC thing..yeah lots of apps habe that issue and it is an issue only if you have a home pc and disable windows firewall or if you are an enterprise user and your network does not block outbound SMB (in which case you have a whole host of problems). Pretty sure Skype and other clients(including irc,jabber,etc...) Do it, it actually makes a lot of sense when talking about corporate meetings, I believe it's windows that sends your creds to the attacker, the client just makes it clickable.
In Design minimalism should not be confused with simplicity. Which is actually more about being super functional and direct about what you are trying to achieve. John Maeda’s book 10 laws of simplicity define it well. In striving for simplicity you run the risk of oversimplification. So an important element in such a process is always identifying the complexity that you can’t ignore. Simplicity requires a lot of hard thinking that goes un-noticed in the final product or artistic object because its’s been reduced (in a positive sense!) to the essential elements to perform it’s function.

I guess minimalism tries to catch the cool of the real hard work of simplicity by trying to copy simplicity as if it is simply an aesthetic but in the end it turns up empty.
And Maximalism papers over the messy realities of society. There is no conceptual framework that can see all of nature, they highlight aspects of it.
My Airpods pro don't have it either apparently.
I'd be surprised if even 5% of that coverage is actionable in any way.

I exclusively use the QC25 at my office desk, and much prefer swapping AAA batteries over having a lithium battery that where the replacement isn't manufacturer-supported.
Agreeed.

I don't know much about RNA, but this sentence is pure bs. How would I know where to look in RNA sequences?
Are there really that many other ways? Photosynthesis, sure, but that doesn't seem to produce much and doesnt allow much "liveliness".

Anyway...
The 'why' is trivial-seeming to me. Once one organism can consume ready-made nutrients from another organism for less energy cost than producing, it will, or it will be out competed by others who do. So carnivores exist everywhere. Even deer happily eat baby birds that they come across, and rabbits eat their own.

Almost Tragedy of the Commons?
The thing I've always wondered about ponchos is how they shape them. Unlike serapes they're usually not squares, so how does the weaver know exactly where to stop weaving to get the right shape? Or are they just cut from a square and then have the edges tied of?
