As another European, I'm not sure this is just an American thing (though it's maybe more pronounced there). Most European countries also have some degree of urban/rural political divide, with rural being farther right.

Even here in Ireland where we don't really do extremes of politics anymore (we don't have a hard/nationalist right in the same way many places do) there was a double digit percentage difference on the abortion and same-sex marriage referendums between rural and urban areas.

Just got flashback from the time when I was downvoted to hell on HN when I wrote comment that Google is forcing sms 2FA just to get phone numbers.
A tried and true pattern I've seen is "build the barn, live in the barn, build the house".

And then sometimes the house is also sheet-metal-clad and looks pretty barn-like—it's just better sealed and insulated and has a few more windows :-)
That's very cool. Nice little project to speed the site. One data point. A cold loading takes about 2.2 seconds; subsequent loads take about 500ms, from a cafe in the Bay Area using a shared wifi.

The cold loading stats:

Load Time 2.20 s
Domain Lookup 2 ms
Connect 1.13 s
Wait for Response 68 ms
DOM Processing 743 ms
Parse 493 ms
DOMContentLoaded Event 11 ms
Wait for Sub Resources 239 ms
Load Event 1 ms

Edit: BTW, the speed is very good. I've tried similar simple websites and got similar result. Facebook login page takes 13.5 seconds.
Thank you! Ultimately, we didn't want to reinvent the wheel.

We're never going to create a better conferencing solution than Zoom or a better community platform than Slack.

What we're trying to do is act as a layer on top of these tools that brings everything together for an educational use case.

We decided to go with Daily because it was the quickest to integrate with and allowed us to create an in-browser experience that we could customize in the long-term.

But we're realizing now as we expand internationally that nothing is more reliable as Zoom. As such, we're building zoom integration right now.
To add to that, it allows them to advertise that "prices start at..." and give an unrealistically low price, which is manipulative, to be sure.
Apart from the margin argument advanced in the comments (which I agree with) this TB3 machine can be upgraded with an external drive directly attached to the PCIe bus (that TB3 interface is faster than your disk Last time I checked so supposedly no performance issue).

You may not find this adequate (actually, I don’t like it either) but it’s not an unreasonable position to take.

Having worked in the hw biz not only do memory sockets add to BOM, they reduce reliability (statistically — not on any one machine, but over your installed base)
Yea, I may complain about HN's commentariat here and there, but it really is one of the higher-quality fora out there.

But for some reason, it's especially susceptible to specific triggering topics that cause complete forfeiture of critical thinking ability and intellectual honesty among a big chunk of the commenters (and voters).

There are plenty of valid criticisms of Google, but criticism is worthless if it isn't based in at least an attempt at intellectual honesty.
If you ever want to really do math at some point in your life, I think you need linear algebra or something equivalent. Better to build the intuitions earlier in your life.
Freedom Isn't Free (2018)
tldr: some malware uses DNS to exfiltrate data (to obfuscate it, and probably that DNS is often whitelisted), and now they are using the same exfiltration technique but using DNS over HTTPS.
Nobody underestimates Apple's marketing. In fact I think it's the other way around, a lot of people pooh-pooh desire for their products as just marketing-susceptible idiots (e.g. "I could get the same features in an Android for $200 less and it comes with a MicroSD slot and headphone jack... but fanboys need their iPhone") looking for a cool brand when the reality is that they also make some of the best products.
If it was a mistake due to overall techniques, why did Windows Defender mark it as a "Jailbreak" as opposed to a trojan or some such? That was the thing that made me really upset, once I saw it.
The Curious Case of the Xenon Balloon
They never said the web page decided.

(Although, to an extent, the contents of the webpage do determine how long the browser will keep the connection open. Also, WebSockets exist.)
Interesting. Your site triggered our corporate filter as "Adult/Mature Content". I wonder what tripped it up.
that sounds like a little bit of all
I think that would be less bad than trying to start a normal cafe. Part of the business case for food trucks is that the capital expenses are so much lower than buying and configuring a fixed space - the trucks themselves are more or less mass-produced, and servicing/cleaning can be taken care of by an specialist contractor.

Now wouldn't be the time to do it, though, most of the coffee business is commuters and office workers on break, which... yeah.

(I write operations software for food-service businesses, so I'm fairly familiar with the market dynamics.)
I won't be surprised if TV manufacturers further screw customers by forcing them to watch ads in between switching channels.

Can't be that hard to do hard work when no one gives a shit about the ethics of it.
But on the plus side, if you then create another account and use the same phone number, I assume that phone number is now linked to the new account (because they tell you that it's owned by another user and it'll be claimed) and not the one you actually want to use.
YouTube's recommendations may be more a reflection of your watch history than a shift in content or a change in the algorithm. I have not seen any van life, off-grid, or tiny home videos on YouTube.
Could you clarify what you mean when you say "That's borrowed from an old theological argument"?
Tim Cook just gave a full-throated defense of the App Store under oath before Congress. There's no possibility of Tim making Phil the fall guy. Tim owns this now.
> This is serious abuse of privacy.

Websites that use 2FA Phone verification: Abuse of privacy? What's that? This is for your 'security' /s

Honestly, I avoid services or websites that do this kind of nonsense.
In general, I would not buy the first iteration of a major new Apple product. If you look back the first Macbook Air, first iPhone, first iPad, first Apple Watch... the third or fourth iteration absolutely blew away the first.

So this seems like a great time to get the latest Intel Mac. By the time you're ready to replace it, Apple will be past iteration #1 of the ARM Macs, hopefully well past it.
He achieved nothing and also hasn't killed enough people. That's pretty much the difference. He's not a revolutionary, just a murderer.
Domain Modeling with Datalog
I set up my own Windows 2019 domain for this same reason and ended up having to go over basically every available GP over the course of a weekend. There are just too many, and a lot of them require careful reading to know what they actually do since MS options tend to be in the form of "Enable the disabling of something" lol. Even the telemetry option itself is like that, since turning it "On" and to Enterprise-only level 0 leaks less data than turning it "Off" https://i.imgur.com/0Iplagu.png
Don't know about Colorado but agree about Vermont. Very progressive state. They also have great local food which is rare for remote states.
That's a slice of the horror of our civilization lololol
I think my life got measurably better when I pivoted from "I want to do this myself" towards "It's just as satisfying to watch someone else do this".

So true! Works for a lot of things. It's why I stopped playing dota.
How to guide for building a modern web app with React and Firebase
I meant infrastructure as in production infrastructure. We have an economic narrative around here which amounts to - more production means more exports which means people will want to pay you in your currency, which increases the value of your currency which acts against inflation.
Bandwidth and latency aren't the same thing! High-latency networks sometimes don't ever load some websites, even if there is reasonable bandwidth. I remember one time when I was in Greenland having to VNC to a computer in the US to do something on some internal HR website that just wouldn't load with the satellite latency.
Yeah, I really like how well the performance is quantified
That's fantastic - as near to instantaneous as you need, and it's actually slightly odd having a page load as quickly as yours does; we've become programmed to wait, despite all the progress that's happened in hardware and connectivity. The only slightly slow thing was the screenshots on the portfolio page as the images aren't the native resolution they're being displayed at.

Does the minification of the css make a big difference? I just took a look at it using an unminifier, and it was a nice change to see CSS that I feel I actually understand straight away, rather than thousands of lines of impenetrable sub-sub-subclasses.
More than a minor bug We'll get this fixed right away. Thanks for the flag!
A lot of rural districts in North America explicitly forbid mobile homes _because_ they don't want people coming in and screwing up the land values and communities with shacks and trailers and temporary houses.

I suspect most of their ordinances also apply to "tiny homes"
Would appreciate any and all feedback! Thanks in advance :)
Apart from the fact that you have to rewrite your code, the big disadvantage to something like this is that it's a bit slower.

With SIMDe you're still free to use functions like `_mm_maddubs_epi16` and they'll be really fast on x86, but still work everywhere.

With xsimd (and similar libraries) you're generally limited to the lowest common denominator.

FWIW, if abstraction layers are your thing you might want to look at std::experimental::simd (https://github.com/VcDevel/std-simd) instead. Google's Highway (https://github.com/google/highway) is also pretty interesting.
You speak pretty definitively on the topic. I'm guessing you have some experience with construction that's worth sharing? Would love to hear a positive story of how it turned out!
I mean, maybe they need to exponentiate the bound or something.
e.g. 2^(4n) is much much much worse than 2^n.

The sentence did strike me a little wierd though.
Just finished watching that talk, I recommend it too! Information dense and fast with lots of useful examples on how to use Datalog, especially comparing it to what most programmers use today such as relational, key/value and document stores.
Eh, I guess. Having to worry about not having food on the table because half of your crop failed may quickly remind one how nice that boring job was.
Yes! I remember movies and TV shows would have scenes where a character is called and told to turn on the TV for breaking news. They'd see it the story instantly, and that was actually realistic! (Assuming it was big enough news to be on all channels.)

Today if you had such a scene they'd be like, "okay <presses remote, waits five very immersion-breaking seconds>".
1:man- certainly. For 1x1, you might be better off using a tool like Calendly
I'm not aware about the TBW rating of the Mac's SSD. I didn't drill into its SMART stats. Maybe I should do that. Home workstation's home is on a Samsung 860 Pro, 256GB version, which has 300TBW.

I have a slower storage tier on that computer for big files and archives so, it's only hammered when I really need that speed.

When I bought the Mac, 1TB SSD was top of the line. 2TB was not available for Mid 2014 Macs. Actually, I upgraded everything as apple could while buying it

I'm aware of the dynamics of SSD writes and TBW values. I personally don't write that brutally. Things get hot if I'm processing images or working on my software and need to see some detailed logs or interim results along the way.

If I was using my computer as an ordinary user, I'd not worry about it at all. My family's computer runs on much simpler drives and their write volume is nowhere near me.
You underestimate your bodies strength. There are people of 98 years that do a full triathlon, so there is no excuse for you not to able to do that. You can do anything when you put your 10k hours in, but not on the first try.

If mountain biking is your dream buy a Trek with electric motor in it. They can give you extra lift till you accelerate to 75 km/hour with a dongle of $120. Instant pro biking experience without much practicing.

You are too young to accept any physical limitations of your body. Navy Seals talk about that being tired is just an emotion like feeling happy. Its all about your mindset.
Yeah my 2008 iMac had this functionality, and I was supposed/bummed to hear they got rid of it a few years later. I’d think Apple would keep the feature around, if only to make it easier for people to buy both a Mac laptop and Mac desktop. My wife would totally use one at work if it were easy, and I’d love to have one for us at home. But instead we just get laptops with fans that come on all the time, and SSDs that are far too small.
Savory with a touch of sweetness, Broccoli Bread cooks up like cornbread but offers fiber and calcium. The original name was Brot-cat-li (since files could be concatenated and compressed in parallel), but when we said it fast it sounded like "Broccoli" and the name stuck.
A simple A/B test of the sort I described is fairly common. Especially when we are considering alternatives and want to isolate one variable, eg the GUI. Eg if someone was interested in godot and qt was the usual then I'd encourage that team member to use the same media libraries is a given to keep it fair. This is basic science methodology: change one thing at a time to enable comparison.

You'd be amazed how much overhead a change can introduce even if the real work is done by a dedicated library. This is the whole point I was making.

eg A library like imgui that repeatedly redraws itself isn't actually that wasteful power wise if you tune it and make it fit for purpose. We've done exactly that for mobile. The simplicity of its approach enables all sorts of optimisations. Imgui is a straightforward animal that can be optimised in all sorts of directions, that is actually one of its drawcards. Reorientating it to output text has already been done - thats how flexible it can get.
Could you clarify what any of this has to do with freedom provided by the license itself?

Could you also clarify whether the first example is relating to company code or personal code?
OTA TV (Rabbit Ears picking up Digital TV - c.f. older analog NTSC), at least here in Canada, is still using MPEG2. The stream is typically around 20 Mbps, including the audio, which is Dolby Digital 5.1 (except certain channels, such as TVO (TV Ontario), which is DD 2.0).

It's all based on ATSC. While there is an ATSC 2.0, they skipped that in Canada, there will be ATSC 3.0, which will use HEVC (H265) for 4K. But don't hold your breath on that...the TV stations aren't exactly opening their wallets to upgrade anything!
It’s quite clear to me they never held a job where their fuck ups actually imply their own responsibility for their actions.
? If you're doing that much reduction in your estimation, couldn't the same be said for software?

The labor itself might be low skill, but the experience required to do the job well and to create a lasting structure takes an enormous amount of time. "should I use ceder, spruce, pine or Aztek for the exterior door casings? Should my subsill be 7 degrees or 14? Should I use felt paper or tyvek for my weather barrier, which type of tape should I use for each type?"
It's wrong. Americans consume less than 1 pound per week per capita. Still a lot, but much less than claimed above.

Ignore the studies and anecdata. Attractiveness is substantially a reflection of personality, so it's hard to disentangle them in studies and anecdotes.

Being unattractive can be superficial, or point to deeper issues. In general it'll hold you back to the degree that it points to deeper issues, because people mostly won't care if your face is a bit asymmetrical if they can depend on you and you are pleasant to be with.

Ok so HDCP might be an explanation although I wonder if it has any impact if it's not in use. Don't really know how it works tbh.

As for the rest: Resolution negotiation is optional and wouldn't matter if the device is already outputting at some resolution, also this happens on different pins, so even if the device would first query the EDID of the TV to figure out what mode it prefers, the TV could meanwhile already display whatever the device is outputting. Same with CEC, this is another protocol on different pins than where the picture data is sent. HDMI really is just DVI with some extras, at least for the older versions.
I would go for it unless you can wait for 3-4 years.

It will take time to understand how good silicon macbooks are.

So, 2 years to release, plus 1-2 years to understand how good it is, and how fast all the apps will be fully migrated.
I run Office Snapshots (first link) and hadn't seen the faux ceiling you linked to -- definitely interesting.

@kakkun My guess is that it would be limit direct sunlight, though if that were the case, a shade higher up might look better.

I do remember someone telling me that if you go into a Costco food court people often gravitate to the tables with an umbrella on them even though they are indoors. Their theory was that people do like to have something over their heads in such a big warehouse-size space.
Is this using the SC erasing exploit?

There's a bug that lets you delete a building tile but keep the building there in memory, meaning you can build over it but have all the same pops/crime/etc.

Lots of megopolis SC maps use this exploit.
Low quality comment, but this once again confirms what I already knew: I suck at math.
The reason I started running it in clamshell mode, after years of keeping my 13" open, was the the GPU would massively overheat when running an external monitor, so I'd have the fans running at well over 50% all the time in that case. Clamshell fixed it at the time.

Seems to play nicer with my other (Dell) monitor but when I was using Garage Band (only on the external monitor!) it got so loud I had to quit GB and let it cool down... and I still never went over about 20% CPU. The fans are pretty normal when I only use the built-in monitor, but the case still gets way too hot to rest on my legs.

I'll try the right side power, thanks for the tip!
Not sure if the OP will see this, but thanks! I was looking for an introduction to building basic FTS just last week, and didn't find anything at the right level for me - this article was absolutely perfect to understand the basics.

Not sure if you intend to write more articles, but I'd love to see this turned into a series where you gradually add different capabilities and techniques (e.g. using tries)
This is what I've been trying to work out, but am having problems Googling for suggestions. The only things I've in the past read as causing red smoke are highly carcinogenic/toxic hypergolic rocket fuels (hydrazine?), but I'm having a hard time imagining anyone storing a cache of that sort of thing anywhere near a built-up area.

The form of the explosion here points in my mind to something significantly more explosive than fireworks (fireworks result in white smoke too, no?) - if nitrates are involved, that might certainly point in a better direction.
Not entirely sure if you intended to reply to my comment, however just to clarify I'm saying that this particular machine isn't for developers or hackers. Apple has different machines for different markets.

Developers buy MBPs. Industry users buy iMac Pros (which starts at 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD, going up from there) or even the goofy Mac Pro.

"When someone needs a "computer" for their kid to do their homework, that's increasingly going to be an Android/iOS device."

Lots of people do the vast majority of their "computing" on pads and smartphones, but they still like a computer on the desk for..."productivity". For many of those people, this device is more than adequate.
Which part of the GPL being focused on end users don't you understand?

The GPL was not created to help businesses, it was created to help end users, which for the most part means people with the know-how to understand software and improve on it or extend it for themselves.
Different strains of Coronaviruses have existed amongst us since they were first discovered in the 1930s. Probably they have been here much longer. The question was never whether the virus will go away or not but how long it will take for us to contain and co-exist with this new strain of coronavirus i.e. COVID-19.

Meta question: Are journalists (or even experts) allowed to make statements about future as if they were fundamental truths? One could say there is xx amount of chance that an event is likely to happen but why preach it as an absolute truth.

When we had nothing but the floor, we were still sketching and debating ridiculous design ideas over our morning coffee—curved, pagoda-style rooflines; walls that folded down into decks; a spiral staircase wrapping around a tree trunk to the loft—as if we were made of money and time.

I wonder if they told the buyer that the cabin was built by 2 underfunded inexperienced guys with no plans?

They aren't out of the woods financially yet... if that cabin collapses or burns up in an electrical fire, they may find themselves on the wrong end of a liability lawsuit.
This is strange as it does not appear to contain any adult content.

Interesting, as I am currently doing a similar thing, but kept my day job.

However, I didn't want to go all in, so I bought a small/cheap 0.33 acre parcel 25 minutes from work/home. Had Tuff shed build a 14x16 "workshop" on it. Put in solar, and now spending ~1/2 days a few times a week there. Currently finishing up building a 4x8 storage shed. Planning to build a 400 sf off-grid home/shelter next.

I initially started clearing the land myself, but quickly learned that digging/levelling is not something I want to do and paid ~1200 to have it cleared and graded. I also do not want to do cement work so will have a pad poured.
