Neither one is ready as a desktop operating system.

This is a particular bugbear of mine. If Linux isn't ready as a desktop system, how is it that I have been using it as such for 15 years? I get that it isn't all things to all people, but it has long fulfilled my needs; I've always been able to find a good quality tool for any task I want to do. Generally speaking, I'm happier with Linux than Windows or Mac OS, though I'm sure familiarity is part of the equation.

There are four distinct competing pukes, a myriad buffet of barfs, and a veritable cornucopia of vomits, but none of them cover what I consider the entire gamut of requisite Ralph colors. There's a reason it's called the "Technicolor Yawn".

H. Fishlove & Co. "Whoops" Brand Fake Barf has its own distinct set of signature colors, including "perfect puke-yellow" with "Cabernet chunks", easily recognizable by connoisseurs and aficionados of fine fake barf. And artisanal hand-made farm-to-floor fake barf has its own earthy bouquet of organic colors.

I don't use windows search but, at least in the past, it took plugins to allow it to read through any format for which a plugin is registered. Of course MS included plugins for office files. Plugins for PDFs, zip files, etc. It's been around since the mid 90s. Sad if it's not working well.

These tests could be on a website of their own. I'd love to see how the results change with time and how competing implementations compare in terms of behavior (not necessarily performance), V8 especially has changed a lot but it wouldn't surprise me if it still ran into issues.
It's worth noting that Musk has previously claimed that Tesla would have fully autonomous vehicles by 2017, by mid 2019, by the end of 2019, by mid 2020, and now apparently by the end of 2020, pending regulatory approval.

I'm not convinced.
I was so happy when I reached that number (or whatever it was) and didn't have to look at the orange bar any more.

Maybe depends on how you define safest. Where I live in Sweden, there are parts of the country where it's still not safe to hunt and eat wild boar because of a nuclear accident over 30 years ago 3000 kilometers away.

If you just divide the number of meltdowns (5) with the number of active power reactors in the world (449) we learn that statistically 1% of reactors will have a core meltdown.

Thank you I learnt something
I often think that the flow of time is really just an artifact. At any given point in time, a human has a memory whose state is dependent upon the points in time before it. So at any given point in time, it appears as though we've travelled through time up until that point. However, as long as causality is preserved, I don't really see any necessity at all for movement through time. I mean, the phrase is self-referential - "movement through time". Movement is defined by change in position over time. I think from a practical perspective, the concept of time "flowing" or "moving" is really just saying that causality is preserved. There is an order. That's all. And from an experiential perspective, as long as you have causality and memory, it's going to appear as if time "flows". I'm not sure there is any meaning to be derived beyond that.
Eclipse uses SWT, which actually piggybacks on native toolkits, though I don't know if it doesn't go through some ancient version of GTK in the process.

AWT/Swing based IntelliJ manages to be much, much faster in comparison.
Using vim as my main editor has incredibly increased my productivity, but learning to use it's macros saved me even a more tremendous amount of time. It takes a while to learn to use it, but after that any kind of repetitive task can be done easily with it. And if combined with some bash and vimscript knowledge, it is even greater.
Looks great, thanks! I see a couple of trips to San Jose in my (hopefully) immediate future.
We changed the title from "Show HN: Zipcall.io – Peer to peer browser video calling with no latency". Show HN is for sharing something that you've personally created (please see the rules: https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html). And "no latency" sounds more baity than reasonable.
That's interesting. So what you have is some sort of similarity metric that is colour based. You could define it as being 1 for an exact match, and 0 for not matching, so cyan, etc. would be 0 red, while orange may be slightly red (e.g. 0.1), and pink may be slightly more red (e.g. 0.25). This would be a 3D function/surface.

This would allow you to model classes of colours, like purples. Shades of a colour could then be any similar colour in the range 0 to 0.5 (or 0.25).

When I was maybe 12 or 13, I wrote a program in Amos on my Amiga that did my algebra homework. For a while my homework consisted in typing inputs, and writing the output in my notebook. I suppose that saved me a good amount of time, which was then used for games most likely.
The article argues for intuitionistic mathematics, not constructive mathematics. This is important. Just as classical mathematics is constructive math plus some arbitrary unprovable assumption (law of excluding the middle), intuitionistic mathematics is constructive math with another unprovable assumption (the existence of the choice sequence).

The article also made a claim that physics assumes classical mathematics. Which is wrong. The equations of physical models and their solution stays exactly the same in constructive mathematics as in classical one.
Yep, in fact, that’s exactly what those hex codes are: a specification for how much red, how much green, and how much blue is in the color (though our vision and color perception may not map linearly to that specification).
>When dealing with potentially "forever" contaminants, this is simply unacceptable.

That sounds subjective.

I think we need some kind of measures to judge the pros and cons of different solutions. Whether that means money, potential human lives loss, health issues.

If we consider health issues alone, the money loss from using much more expensive alternatives can mean less people will have access to health care and that might mean alternative solutions can be more damaging than nuclear power.

I am not saying that nuclear is better, but that we have to be careful and do a trough analysis before declaring something bad and declare something good.

By "we" I mean "we as society". Such analysis should be done solely through technical specialists, not through activists, business interests or through any subjective party.

I have to agree wholeheartedly. Learning vim is quite painful, but it keeps paying off for years, even if you choose to use modern editors with vim bindings. The speed of these bindings for navigating and editing code is really unrivalled. I even use the Vimium Chrome plugin, it's a pleasure there too.

Yea, something that compiles packages from scratch may not sound like your typical time-saver, however, back when I had to track down every dependency and compile it myself just to get whatever package working that wasn't in the current distribution package tree, this saved me a lot of time. - This of course goes for every package manager, however back then(tm) portage had the most current releases and a lot of packages not in apt, rpm, etc.

I propose that names be considered more like probability distributions. For example the name “red” has a probability distribution that probably peaks in the neighbourhood of #FF0000 but includes a large range of colors; the distribution of the name “crimson” likely has a much narrower distribution. Under this interpretation, and given enough data, one could feasibly extract “the” name for any given colour using a maximum likelihood estimation (what name is most likely to generate the observed colour).

And to collect data on this, one could for example ask many random users to choose the range of colours they believe correspond to a given name (“select all red colours”) and merge the results into the distribution. (There are many, many other ways to carry out such a survey; this is but one example).

Obviously, you won’t get to 16M names this way, but you could definitely learn quite a lot about where the “boundaries” are between colours from this kind of exercise!
re-frame still adds way too much boilerplate for my tastes, especially on solo projects. I personally greatly prefer to use reagent directly over using re-frame.

The big problem in this field is actually proving you have a majorana fermion. In this experiment they measured a zero bias conductance peak, but this can de caused by multiple other things as well. There are other detection methods as well, but the ultimate prove is using two majorana's and "braid" them together, thus forming a qubit. Doing this is much harder, but is also the primary use case for majorana's, so it is necessary anyway. Until someone does this with this system I would take this measurement as a strong indicator, but not a real breakthrough.

I know I'm not fun, but everything is "mind control". When you turn the knobs on a synthesizer you control the music with your mind (not your hands). You can also mind control the music with other devices such as an xy-pad https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaoss_Pad, if you've ever tried it, the result is about the same as what you can ear in the video.

So this is "mind control" in the same way that a trackpad can be used to mind control the pointer on the screen. It's a device that allows you to control two continuous variables with (almost) no physical effort. And yes it's connected to the nerves, but what can you do with this that you can't do with a joystick or a pad?
I haven’t read any of the documents put forward by the Chinese government, but what if that’s the proof of them not making it and providing the negative proof, by showing who _did_ release the Corona virus?
There's no good ecological, economical or safety-related reason to reduce nuclear to 50%, especially if it is intended to be replaced by Solar and Wind

There is a very simple and fundamental reason to "reduce nuclear": France has a fleet (roughly 60) of aging nuclear power plants. Many of them already reached their planned life time and are kept working by extending their life time. But nuclear reactors definitely age, so this extension can keep them operating only so long before it becomes a real safety hazard. But France isn't building enough new reactors to keep the numbers up. Currently they have one or two in construction, with construction times over 10 years, the numbers game is obvious. They don't "want" to reduce the nuclear production, they have to.

At the same time, France has ideal conditions for renewables. A very sunny south, lots of wind on the west and north coasts. Add to that a big supply of water power, this should cover most storage needs. The European electrical grid already plays a large role in the energy balance - France is usually selling surplus nuclear energy across Europe - and could do so even more with renewables.

> Concrete and steel production is one of them.

More than half the concrete used in the world is in China, and the main reason for that is they use building infrastructure as a jobs program and consequently build a large amount of unnecessary structures. They could stop doing this and cut world concrete use nearly in half.

Meanwhile about 40% of CO2 emissions from concrete are as a result of fuel combustion for the kiln. There is no obvious reason this couldn't be done using a more sustainable fuel (wood/biomass) or some alternative heat-generation method.

> Another less sexy issue is air-conditioning/refrigeration and heating.

Air conditioning is almost entirely powered by electricity already, so if you solve generation you solve that. In theory heat can be the same -- electric heat pumps are very efficient. The biggest problem there is the economic cost of replacing everyone's oil and gas furnaces with electric heating, but it's not as though it's a technological problem. The solution is known. Impose a carbon tax and people would do it.

A carbon tax is really the best thing we could do, because it hacks at the problem from every angle. If you can make cement with less CO2, now it's more cost effective to do it that way. If you can't then it's more cost effective to use less cement. One way or another CO2 emissions go down. If you want them to go down more, make the tax higher. Right now the cost of emitting CO2 is effectively zero, which is not ideal.

I am a DevOps-minded backend engineer with a wide range of experiences in building data infrastructure in startups, working with data scientists and occasionally doubling as one to make use of my Ph.D. training in academic science. My recent projects have been largely based on the tech stack mentioned above and their adjacent technologies, but I pick things up as needed. I could be useful for adding coding power in Python, building microservices to be integrated into your existing systems, doing Linux/AWS DevOps work, doing data analysis and visualization, just to name a few.

Please visit my website (https://okomestudio.net) and contact me about your needs to see how I could potentially help your project. Thank you!

That's a strawman. No one's saying that. It just happens that this time, we're mostly responsible. Not geological processes[1], or astronomical cycles[2], or the action of algae[3]. Btw, if algae can change the composition of the atmosphere, we certainly are capable.
