Everyone but programming instructors tend to be resistant to solutions such as this. Sadly, I only see this being used for programming courses at least for the time being, which is a shame because I can see the features such as draft iterations and commenting useful for traditional essays or reports. Even Classroom being associated with GitHub can be an intimidating barrier to entry. I hope Classroom is able to make some intuitive tutorials and example use-cases to make itself more appealing to the layperson.

Wait a sec.

Coal produces about 24 MJ/kg and this only takes 1.29 MJ/kg of CO2, or 4.73/kg of carbon. Even if coal were pure carbon this means we could burn coal to capture ~5x as much carbon as it generates. That’s amazing!

I’m assuming there are significant energy costs in scaling production of these materials up to any scale at which it could have an environmental impact though.
Aren't we running out of hydrocarbons?
I think a lot of people read "political" as a synonym of "Partisan" and use that as a filter (or maybe excuse?) to not engage meaningfully with the content of the discussion.

Any activity related to changing or reinforcing the balance of power in a society is a political action as is any effort to prevent injustice. Free software is a movement to give more power to users and so is, by definition, a political movement
True. I hadn’t thought about this. With some CSS overhead you can really have control over formatting.
Isn't the weight of evidence required in a civil cases in the US not "preponderance of the evidence" - I don't think you need "proof" even in criminal cases.

Obviously, I'm not a lawyer.
What a fascinating concept, especially this part:

> We have only started to develop how to hold a conversation in UNLWS itself. As we currently have it, it's a very, very different kind of thing than linear atomic turntaking. Rather, it's a sort of ongoing mutual edit of a shared structure, where revision history playback (or live observation) expresses the 'conversational' tone expected by linear conversation, and the fixed form expresses the integrated totality of what the participants have expressed. Different ink colors help to distinguish participants, but there are no boundaries preventing one participant from using another's ink as part of their own expressions. Indeed, there are a few special conversational variants of glyphs which are meant to be easier to drop in to an already-drawn passage than the normal forms; these are recognizable by their use of two ink colors. (It’s a pity that it’s so fiddly to edit pencil or pen drawings.)

I can't help but wonder how this would look like applied to instant messaging: We are used to seeing our conversations arranged in differently colored bubbles, but how would our form of communication change if we instead communicated on a collaborative surface where we could freely choose which color to use and where to add our thoughts? (Similar to how Slack already introduces a small amount of non-linearity in the form of threaded conversations, but applied on a much larger scale, so that non-linear collaborative communication becomes the default instead of an afterthought.)
Hacker News is fickle, but you can kind of guess what it wants. Based on my own experience, a post about making the Objective-C runtime faster that leads with a meh title and x86 assembly is not really too likely to do very well: it’s hard for people to relate to. But a satire post on something people can understand? That can get a thousand upvotes in a few hours. (Probably even more, if it didn’t disappear from the front page suddenly in what I’d guess is downranking based on the lack of interesting content…) Post something people know about and discussion will tend to the most general thing in the article, and you’ll get upvotes from the people who can find those keywords. If you don’t provide that, then it’s much harder to do well even though the quality of your post might be higher.
Indeed. The strategy if it works perfectly was never going to have fewer deaths than a lockdown strategy after 3 months.

That much should be obvious. The criticism early on was "Oh my god look at these simulations you'll have 25k ICU beds needed and you have only 1k", 50k will die before july!

When that didn't happen, somehow now the message is that 4k dead and emergency hospital capacity never even used is a complete failure - because Norway has fewer deaths?

I think if anything we should be happy that most of Europe managed to actually contain this disease and people weren't left to die without ventilators as the early alarms said. Whether 500 or 5000 die in a country is a big difference, but remember we were fearing tens of thousands in every countruy.
Notcurses is nice, but I believe that tickit[1] is the most mature and exciting option out there. By the author of libtermkey, which was (and is?) the only library to properly read keys from a tty.

The cost of learning a new layout, only to realize you have trouble using an old layout, is certainly a problem.
No longer the entirety but still a sizeable chunk of it; it helps with regression detection for them. World's biggest test suite?

That struck me as an odd statement as well. If anything, the amount of criticism used by grass root movements on social media is bordering being an issue. A self-fueling fire.
Interviewer: How do you explain the 145 addresses that signed “Craig is a fraud”
Yea this ! Wanted to join (I get that fuzzy warm IRC feeling of old) but I'm not putting on my camera - sorry :/
You already started the discussion :)
I don't recommend it.

I too tried this with an Ergodox, but the keys you want to have your symbols on are just so far away anyway. The center columns for example are quite far.

Instead I think it's better to use layers (holding down a key to change what other keys do) and place symbols close to your home row. You can even have a numpad right under your fingertips.

This is why ergonomic keyboard users are generally moving towards boards with fewer keys, not more.

Look for QMK programmable keyboards where you can do this and much more.
No way. Orbital decay times increase more or less exponentially, and once you get above the thermopause (which moves around from 500-1000km based upon terrestrial and space weather conditions), atmospheric drag becomes practically 0.

SpaceX is upfront about this in their FCC filings:

"The natural orbital decay of a satellite at 1,150 km requires hundreds of years to enter the Earth’s atmosphere"
>Somehow we lost all perspective and have come to expect that our officers, whose jobs regularly confront them with mortal danger and the darkest parts of human nature, will always display the same perfect virtues we carefully signal everyday on Facebook

I don't know about you but I don't have to "carefully" display not killing people who are on the ground unarmed. You're depicting people with 6 months of training as if they were in a fucking warzone every day.
SMS is very reliable here in New Zealand, even more so than any IP-based systems. I've had SMS get through easily in one-signal-bar situations where IP data was nearly inoperable (especially if I happened to be attached to a 2G GPRS cell). Wonder if SMS reliability is really an issue peciular to certain networks. SMS reliability has been good for me both in NZ and all the foriegn networks I have used in my travels around the world. 4G is very good though in low signal situations so IP based protcols are improving in reliability... Just need networks to hurry up their 4G roll out and turn off their 2G/3G networks.
Didn't exist at the time, but the AMRAAM doesn't require the launching aircraft to be using (or presumably even have) a radar. The launching aircraft just gives the missile the target's state vector before launch, which it could have gotten from another aircraft. The AMRAAM then flies to intercept the target, receives course updates if they're available, and then turns on its own radar when it gets close.

The state vector could even potentially come from an AWACS, although the angular resolution wouldn't be great. If the launching aircraft had an IRST system though, that is easily solved.

Incidentally, this basic capability is the present/near future of air combat. Modern but non-stealth aircraft hang back with their radars on. 50 miles or so in front of them are the AMRAAM equipped stealth aircraft getting datalinked targeting from the "quarterback" aircraft behind them. Tracks can be refined by having multiple radars observe the same target from different angles, and further augmented by the stealth aircraft's IRST system if it has one. The (stealth) launching aircraft can then immediately turn tail and run while the quarterback aircraft continues to provide midcourse updates to the missile.

I've switched to VIM and Dvorak blind type simultaneously. And out of C++.

I am not such a great typist (ten years later still 40 WPM) but it was one of the best decisions. Comfort improved tremendously and with blind typing it feels like direct interface to screen. Yes, muscle memory is a king. To remember some passwords I had to type them in imagination.

Observing myself - comfort stems from hand alternation. Home row AOEUI is a must have feature.
Sure, but imagine a situation where this is a huge step up in fairness and justice from what you currently experience everyday! Many people currently live under tyranny and terror worse than an HOA police force.
Back when the US was doing the Great War on Terror, I was pleased to hear my country's interior minister saying something like: yes, we are taking note of potential terrorism — but we are actively concerned about football fans.

This. This idea is exactly something I picked up from Colemak (while didn't really enjoy the entire layout). The ability to just press ctrl + capslock (remapped to backspace now) to delete the whole last word with a single hand is by itself a great perk.
It’s not a standard path, it’s this element:

You can even have multiple (I think wordpress standard is "articles" and "comments" feeds) of them for different feeds.
Those aren't deep questions; they're deeply personal questions, and something not appropriate to talk about with complete strangers.

I strongly recommend you re-evaluate your question set. Personal questions are dangerous with the wrong kind of person.

I should also clarify that this history is focused on the Los Angeles area around 1960s-1990s, viewed from the lens of the drug war. Gangs had existed in the country for a long time before the 60s (and in LA, too -- Bloods and Crips), but the proliferation of crack into the US via Los Angeles caused an explosion in the crime rate.

For brevity's sake, I'm also ignoring a lot of other serious issues related to police relations with the citizens of LA (e.g., Watts riots in '65, Rodney King in '92), which should be considered to paint a full picture of the antagonisms that have led us to where we are today. The drug war didn't create gangs (they existed before), but it poured fuel on the fire which led to a lot of the violence in that area in the 80s/90s.
Does it allow you to set a hard time limit on how long the candidate has to complete the challenge?
Show HN: Chrome v83 enables JavaScript module support for SharedWorkers
I like it. Very clever. If there are founders out there who are capable but underserved sorely because they're not in the right social circles then this is a good attempt at capitalizing on that.

I love watching the market in action. Wonder if it will pay off.
I love this. Thanks for sharing. I've been streaming myself and recording myself doing something always makes me narrate it through, when you are alone without a camera this feeling of having to "talk yourself through" is not there. This can of course easily be abused by a micro manager but uploading it as a private YT video, never thought of that.

Thanks for sharing, this is the stuff I browse HN for.
With a QMK programmable keyboard you can turn any key into a modifier if held, while operating as a regular key when tapped.

Another way is to get another keyboard with more thumb modifiers.
There were a few articles that went by that indicated that they were being pretty cold-blooded in terms of triaging older people away from ICUs and ventilators. This isn't totally unreasonable, but it is weird from a "try to save everyone" perspective and does raise some awkward questions about their rather premature victory lap - "our ICUs aren't overloaded therefore we're OK".
I don’t think it’s just Android users who see it. I’m on iPhone and in a group text with a mix of Android and iPhone users I see it that way too. Maybe I’m on the cusp of being old and cranky but it seems a silly thing to worry about.
Of course it’s realistic, we can still produce necessary goods at the rate we need to live.

> It seems like you are proposing that to fix the income issue we just print money indefinitely until a cure comes out, and then restart the economy. Doing something like that is not really comparable to the kind of QE that's being done in the stock market. It'd have to be done on an incredible scale, and nobody really knows what the effects of that would be on the economy.

At least people could know they have food and shelter. We live in a death cult.

I wonder why we don’t know how to make a basic plan for the economy, hmm... oh yea we jailed those folks and hunted them down and killed them around the globe, yay freedom to die on the job or starve while rich fucks nest up in cabins with personal servants and massive stores of resources.

Hell even in the last year we ran Evo Morales out of one of the greatest runs of poverty reduction in contemporary times and he was replaced with a fucking nazi.

Your attitude is mask-off homicidal.
> going for herd immunity was most likely a bad choice.

I think this has been repeated a lot. No one is "going for herd immunity". Every country including sweden has two goals: having as few as possible infected and preventing healthcare from being overwhelmed. If partial or full immunity makes the virus go away that's a fortunate side effect of slow burn, not the "goal".

Maybe in Utah or San Diego. In Silicon Valley, half the employees are foreign-born, many of which haven't been indoctrinated. So occasionally, a black developer there will end up at a different company than he otherwise would, and of course he'll spend a bit more time getting dressed in the morning.

For founders dealing with VC, it's a different equation, so your intuition about "the tech world" doesn't exactly apply. Still, I agree with you. There isn't some untapped vein of black and latino American founders that other VC's are currently missing out on.
Not Europe, but here in NZ I find most Apple owners use iMessenger. Android owners seem to prefer WhatsApp. However I'm finding more and more people using Facebook Messenger. As an Android owner I only really SMS with my husband's iPhone when I need messages to get through instantly but otherwise I just use whatever app the other person has. SMS is mostly for work contacts now days.
> “Recursively self-improving systems, because of contingent bottlenecks, diminishing returns, and counter-reactions […], cannot achieve exponential progress in practice. Empirically, they tend to display linear or sigmoidal improvement.”

Moore's Law. Use computers to make better computers. Exponential growth over more than 7 orders of magnitude and, although the growth rate is slowing, it hasn't run out of steam yet.

If AI eventually exhibits anywhere near that level of recursive self-improvement, godlike superintelligences lie in our future.
Those experiments seem like a huge net positive for the world. Only a hundred people getting cavities rather than a million sounds pretty good.

Why King (like Kennedy) made himself enemies:

... the American Negro collectively is richer than most nations of the world. We have an annual income of more than thirty billion dollars a year, which is more than all of the exports of the United States and more than the national budget of Canada. Did you know that? That's power right there, if we know how to pool it. (Yeah) [Applause]
We don't have to argue with anybody. We don't have to curse and go around acting bad with our words. We don't need any bricks and bottles; we don't need any Molotov cocktails. (Yes) We just need to go around to these stores (Yes sir), and to these massive industries in our country (Amen), and say, "God sent us by here (All right) to say to you that you're not treating His children right. (That's right) And we've come by here to ask you to make the first item on your agenda fair treatment where God's children are concerned. Now if you are not prepared to do that, we do have an agenda that we must follow. And our agenda calls for withdrawing economic support from you."

Obviously Dr. King didn't realise that economic sanctions are a form of violence monopolised by state level actors?

>Because the speed of light in a vacuum is 30% faster than in optical fiber, the latency of Starlink over long distances has the potential to be lower than any other option once laser links are available.

Why jornalists write "minorities" and not "Black and Latino"? This is what they are doing, they are promoting two ethnicities. Even more, when White America is becoming a minority in many places in the US and soon in all the US.
Stop worshipping authority, and revert back to individual critical thinking and verifiable proof.
Why do modifiers suck? I find that they make me stretch and move my fingers around less while allowing me to use a smaller and more comfortable keyboard. Having more modifiers helps! The problem with standard keyboards is that they're too big (keys become hard to reach) and they don't have enough modifiers.
A fuzzer should be one of the last lines of defence against human errors. This was also caught by fuzzing sqlite, not the offending compiler clang. When all but the last lines of defence are breached it's absolutely cause for concern and shouldn't be brushed away like all is fine.
Normally these contracts have a no-poaching clause to prevent this.
Ah, for me it was cosmic-deflect-attitude. I really struggled with it in my teenage years.
My smartphone depreciates faster in value, but I use it several hours a day, every day. The price-per-use is much lower than for any camera I've ever owned. It's easier to justify the expense.

Moreover, $1000 will get you a flagship phone, but at best a mid-level camera and lens. You'll get a vastly better camera, no doubts, but you'll only get a camera.
Sure, Apple could sell FaceTime as a stand-alone paid service but with so many free video chat tools I’m not sure they’d have many takers.

This is what authorities like the FHM (the public health authority does every day). You use tools like counting QALY, for example.
Note that you can learn a new layout without forgetting Qwerty.

If you switch between layouts while learning, you'll maintain that ability to switch. Similar to how the brain can switch languages.

I found this to be an easier way to learn, as it didn’t interrupt life as much. All of my work stayed in Qwerty until my Workman was good enough. And I still use both.

Edit: The one frustrating switch is Workman's moved copy-and-paste keys. I do press the wrong ones by accident. I would choose Norman instead of Workman today purely for that reason.
I think just "No" would work as an answer to all of those questions. (Tongue only halfway in cheek...)
Drug addiction is best treated as a public health issue, not a criminal one. You're just observing the effects of a lack of rug sweeping.
Routers and other equipment do not add very much delay unless packets sit around in the buffer, and for that you need congestion.
Plus stealth shaping didn't make the F-117 invisible, just reduced the detection and identification range. With a Mainstay radar emitting > 1 megawatt the 117 would have been detected well, well outside Sidewinder range.
I think it's possible to take this idea and use it for us programmers, without going full stenographer.

For example you could map j + k to send escape, which would be very useful for a vim user. Or have other symbols easily reachable, without having to resort to layer modifiers.

Thanks, you helped me a lot in understanding why the US are in so deep troubles.
loadkeys dvorak

Now you are using Dvorak at the emergency console. Workman is more obscure, and that's a disadvantage, but Dvorak is available everywhere.

And Qwerty is awful, the home row is a huge, huge part of that problem, you can't just wave that away.
Which is why 99% of Americans get a to live in a shitty Nash equilibrium of either being socially ostracised and excluded or being locked into an expensive monopoly of a single smart phone vendor.
OK then. Every commit in the dev branch should pass all tests.

If the commits don't even build they might as well be thrown away. It's going to make regression tracking next to impossible otherwise. The only reason to keep a branch around is because it's a small ephemeral branch under active development, or because it's an eternal branch that you can use to track regressions (using git bisect, for example).
This is a strange observation to make about an opensource "selfhosted lambda server".
