That's definitely beyond survival. Survival is just living. I think I could survive on about $10 a day in America in the right place, i.e. I could do that indefinitely and live into my 50s.

Indoor shelter isn't necessary for survival. Motor vehicles aren't essential for survival. And you go to the ER and get emergency care if you're in trouble.

The base line for survival is pretty low. It's just "continue to not be dead".

> If the function had a "noreturn" qualifier, or an "else" that could tell the compiler that hitting the if statement will mean that the dereference never happens, then the compiler would not break this code.

If the compiler can't prove that the function returns, it's not allowed to assume that it does.

I've had good luck with solar charge controllers for RVs, e.g. [0]. You have to drive them with DC of course but they're designed to be driven by very poorly-regulated DC like that coming from a PV panel. So a cheap AC/DC converter (either switched or linear) driving one of these things should preserve your batteries. Most of them also provide a DC load output which gets automatically switched over to the battery if the input DC (or in the case of a UPS, the input AC) fails.

I think this quote is the most interesting in the testimony:

In June 2019, search engine analyst Rand Fishkin put together a report about Google using data from web analytics firm Jumpshot. The data show that today an estimated 48.96% of all Google searches end with the searcher NOT clicking through to a website. The same report estimates that 7% of all search clicks go to a paid ad result and 12% go to properties owned by Google’s parent company Alphabet. Moreover, those stats do not even show the full extent of the problem because the data largely relied upon desktop devices and could not track searches that took users to a Google-owned app like the YouTube or Google Maps.
Temporarily, sub 1100 can work very well for losing weight. You want resistance training and very high protein to avoid muscle loss.

This is better known as the Protein-Sparing Modified Fast (PSMF). Still an intense diet — after all it's an intelligent way to crash diet.

> The irony is that out of all colonized countries the Japanese colonies were the one that net benefited from colonization.

This is a completely inaccurate representation of the various Japanese colonial projects. While some historians might refer to what became Taiwan in these terms, very few would say the same of Korea or the territories in China the Japanese occupied.

In fact, the viciousness and extractive nature of the Japanese colonial projects are what justified to many the corollary anti-colonial violence that eventually escalated into civil war in the Korean peninsula. For example,An Jung-geun, who assassinated the Japanese colonial administrator Ito Hirobumi, is still considered a national hero in both the north and the south.
I'd double star this, not eating out has also made me healthier, but has but me worlds ahead financially. I feel kind of bad about that given the state of the service economy, but with extra time, I've been able to make healthy breakfasts and lunches each day, and experimenting with a variety of recipes for dinner.

Now that restaurants have opened back up, I've gone out a few times, and half the meals haven't been that satisfying, considering how strong the food game has gotten at home.

BTW, we're pretty lucky in Boston to have so many Trader Joe's around. I can literally eat like a king on $50 to $60/week (I still eat meat and salmon). (Not counting alcohol.)

Show HN: I Built Pull Panda (PR Review Reminders) for MSFT Teams
That is NOT what the article says. It states:

"In his 1947 book [...]Obafemi Awolowo, [wrote] “Given a choice from among white officials, [Nigerian] chiefs and educated Nigerians as the principal rulers of the country, the illiterate man today would exercise his preference for the three in the order in which they are named. He is convinced, and has good reasons to be, that he can always get better treatment from the white man than he could hope to get from the chiefs and the educated elements,” [...]

"According to this, [...] many regular Nigerians seemed to sense a fairness in the British exercise of power that they were not so sure of in their own leaders."

So one author says that SOME people thought that the British were fairer. We don't know how many. And we don't know if they were right or wrong.
Personally I've gotten a lot more into cycling than I had previously. I used to cycle to work, thankfully I bought my bike last year before the markups. Amazing how much I have improved in the last few months.

I'm lacking in the weight lifting department, would be nice to get a bench/olympic bar, but I'm having a lot of fun cycling.
Heard quite a few Brits saying that. I guess it was their "if only I".

If only I was born to different parents, if only I was born in a different country, if only I had more money, if only I had friends in high places, if only the elite didn't keep us down. Lots of excuses, sometimes valid, but often not.

Working class Brits don't realize how much opportunity they have in their own country, and it's sad.

The chaos aspect of this would certainly increase the evolutionary pressure on your systems to get better. You would need really good visibility into what exactly was going on at the time your stuff fell over, so you could know what combination(s) to guard against next time. But there is definitely a class of problems this would help you discover and solve.

The problem with the testing aspect, though, is that test failures are most helpful when they're deterministic. If you could dictate the type, number, and sequence of specific failures, then write tests (and corresponding code) that help make your system resilient to that combination, that would definitely be useful. It seems like "us-fail-1" would be more helpful for organic discovery of failure conditions, less so for the testing of specific conditions.

I have a notebook and I essentially dump everything into it. Each meeting I put a simple header: "Payments Weekly" or "Bob 1:1" or "API Review" and then jot my notes underneath. The only organization that exists is that it's written in chronological order.

I'd like an app with dead simple "just start typing" with a basic header to name the section...

but what I don't want to have to do is go back and clean up and edit and organize. I'm just not that kind of person. I'm not very organized in general, and I don't have the personality traits needed to say "Hmm, I think I'll organize my notes."

But it'd be great if something would detect that I've had five "Bob 1:1" meetings and would group those together, for example. Maybe something lightweight like this exists, but I haven't seen it...

> It all comes down to their ideology, which in a nutshell comes down to: maximizing profits and (perceived) short-term gains for its core constituency (i.e. business elites)

That's not it at all. It politics, not ideology.

The fossil fuel industries in the US are huge. They employ millions of people.

But those industries are rightly under attack for causing climate change and generally destroying the environment. If we did the right thing and priced carbon and prohibited pollution then they would be uncompetitive. Those forms of energy would cost more than solar or nuclear or something else and those people would lose their jobs.

Which is what needs to happen, but did you really think they'd go down without a fight? Any politician who wants to win an election in those districts is going to be under pressure to take the "screw the environment to save the oil industry" position. It happens that the oil and coal deposits are disproportionately in red states, so that's where those constituents live and those are the politicians saddled with that voting block.

This is a different motivation than an ideological preference for actual deregulation, which would have them e.g. refusing to regulate the tech industry rather than calling for some ridiculous anti-encryption nonsense.

To get rid of it you need to do one of two things. One option is that when the other team gets in they need to do a better job of completely smashing those industries into smithereens so they no longer represent a powerful constituency (e.g. Obama could have done this but didn't), but they pay a short term cost for doing that. They'd almost certainly lose the next election because in the short term the people whose jobs you just destroyed are going to be angry and resentful. You also run the risk that after you lose the election the other team comes in and undoes what you did.

The other option, and this is the really great one, is that you also pick some evil constituency of the other team and have everyone get together and destroy them both at once, so that politically it cancels out. But that requires a level of bipartisanship that isn't currently very common. It's everybody doing something which is good for the country even though it yields no partisan advantage, and that's not really how modern politicians think, so how do you get it to happen?
I've changed to work out in the middle of the day (thanks flexible job) which is a fun but challenging diversion from work. For me it's super tough to do morning workouts, and after work I want to relax, but in the middle of the day I'm still in my work mindset so it's been a nice change.

I don't disagree that colonization was not a good thing. Yet in all of human history we have struggled against one another for dominion of land and resources. How is colonization really any different then all the other wars/conquests done before? Or is simply that it was done on such a scale that sets it apart or is it the relative nearness of it historically that brings it more to relevance for people?
Sure, and that works great for a personal approach to code. But when your lifecycle from requirements through release needs to be validated, something more scalable is required. Sometimes that scalable thing is "anyone shipping prototype code will be fired."
> Also, today the segment-jumpimg far call still exists on modern AMD64 machines, and is how you cross “heaven's gate” to go between 32 bit and 64 bit execution.

Addendum: this model only exists on Windows. On Unixes, programs are entirely 64-bit or entirely 32-bit, so there's no LDT setup to have a 32-bit segment in 64-bit code. And there's no syscall on x86-64 to let userspace muck with the LDT as there is on x86-32.
You are missing the subtle point that all those deaths occured despite all the measures. Most of Europe and Asia and the reasonable countries of the Americas shut down and took 6-10% off their GDP and still so many people died. And this doesn't even count all the undiagnosed ones from USofBadStatistics to the usual dictators which falsify data to the developing world which doesn't have any decent one.

Not to say the other things aren't major issues and in many cades have rather straightforward soputiopns (soda and fast food tax, massively inconvenience/tax smoking and drinking, actual driving lessons, rule enforcement and road improvements in developing countries, clean water and basic medicine for more places, ... But all this doesn't take away the seriousness of the pandemic. The world continued after black death, but with up to 1/3 and in some places 1/2 the population dead. So life will go on no matter how many die, but this doesn't excuse inaction.
Sounds like the Xfinity emails I receive. They end with "You cannot unsubscribe from these emails because they are account related".

The problem is, I don't have an account. I don't even live in an area where I could have an account. I've contacted them multiple times and they cannot find my email address in their system. They've escalated it, had engineering teams look into it, etc. Nobody knows how/why I'm getting emails.

If I was in a bad mood, I'd report them to the FTC -- the fines of $16k per email would be an enormous amount by now since this has been happening for 8 years.

But, I mention it because some of us here create system that send emails and we need to remember to always create a way for the user to self delete or at least some kind of audit system for finding that email address in a system later.

Oh ya, for about a year I've been getting someone's electricity bill from India too. Again, there's no way to unsubscribe, and worse I don't speak the language so my attempts to contact them have made no progress. Thankfully, it's easy to create email rules to dump these emails before I even see them.
>I mean how on earth does the word "for" convey a loop?

I don't know about a loop per se, but it's used in plain language when you want the same thing to be done to every element in a set. "Clean this item and put it away. Then do that for every other piece of cooking equipment."

It was actually originally borrowed from its cognate für in German:

>>The name for-loop comes from the English word for, which is used as the keyword in many programming languages to introduce a for-loop. The term in English dates to ALGOL 58 and was popularized in the influential later ALGOL 60; it is the direct translation of the earlier German für, used in Superplan (1949–1951) by Heinz Rutishauser, who also was involved in defining ALGOL 58 and ALGOL 60.

Hey, I'm Cara - one of the founders of bytebase.io. Thanks for your question!

Currently we don't have a roam style overview graph.

While a graph can be satisfying to look at, it also encourages striving for "perfection" in your notes. The graph wants you to create a masterpiece.

That's not what Bytebase is about. Bytebase is for the scratch notes core to your daily work - some of which you'll want to refine and organize later. Getting things down is messy and that's how it should be. After the "jot down", Bytebase helps you stay just a little more organized over time by making it easy to organize/categorize in small steps (and giving you flexibility through multiple parents and infinite hierarchy).

Re: navigating around - our approach uses keyboard shortcuts to quickly jump to and hone in on the bytes you need. One way we do this in Bytebase is with Speed Dial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3lS5J71HEM) - which lets you jump to a location in one keystroke.

When money takes time to go from A to B, who do you think gets to use the money? Yes, the banks. They are all set up to make money from your money, by lending it out at attractive overnight rates.

Is that a problem? Perhaps, but you've been trained to tolerate it, because you have no choice. Multiply your money by tens of millions of bank customers, and you begin to see the size of the opportunity.

Is it any wonder the status quo has lasted for so many decades since the invention of the computer?

> Because I've seen a bit of that and it's what makes the world go round. There's certainly a lot of bad/crazy stuff out there but wonder if the ephemeral fashions of today will stand the tests of time.

Not many, I'd wager. I've even seem a few people argue here (IIRC) that backwards compatibility is an antipattern, which is the thing that allows systems to function on scales longer than an ephemeral fashion.
Your fallacy here is to assume that the per-capita income growth is affecting the same people as the increased job competition.

2x the people might mean 2x the revenue for Amazon, but there is no guarantee that it'll trickle down. Maybe Amazon can, due to automation, satisfy the 2x in demand with only 1.9x in manual labor.

In that case, work supply and consumption both grow by 2x. But salaries for the workes will go down while salaries for Amazon management go up. So the total salary average might remain the same, but it'll increase inequality nonetheless.
That is bickering over word choice, though. Everyone agrees that what happened was violent and by any modern criteria illegal and immoral. What is more interesting is that if you look carefully you do find gems in the turd pile. The situation varies not only by country but by city and area. Invaders, no matter what name for them is currently considered an appropriate best fit, brought ideas, language, trade, rules, and systems that have value and got propagated. Most African cities did not originally have street grids, sewers, sanitation, railways, courts of law. For all the damage that clearly was done there was also value in the introduction of so many modern ideas and systems. Whether or not the result was a net negative is not relevant when it comes to recognizing value. The way really basic innovations like street grids, English for traders, and sanitation endure in post colonial urban centers speaks to the reality that cultural exchange had many aspects and factors and was not all murder and theft.
Better error messages, an error-recoverable parser, faster speed, consolidation into a single tool, additional ability to lint/pretty-print/minify/test instead of just transpiling and bundling, having zero dependencies, having a smaller codebase.

Maybe those things are not important for you, but they are for the Rome author and for many people in the community.

Also with brundolf's solution you can run the TSC typechecker (but not the transpiler/emitter) and Rome in parallel, making good use of modern multi-core processors. With Webpack+TSC you'll have to typecheck, transpile and bundle all in series. This might be very significant.

Where I live, the vast majority of pollution comes from shipping, not residential or light commercial uses. We have arguably the worst traffic in the U.S. in LA, but driving or other individual consumer activities is a drop in the bucket compared the the ecological scarring diesel trucks, LAX and especially the port of LA have done and will continue to do to the region for the foreseeable future, until we change how we fuel transocean shipping and air travel.

Yes they can be implemented, when there is necessity. The tech industry has been coasting on commercial surveillance to fund centralized solutions, relying on consumers not looking too hard behind the curtain. I'd say that overall fiction is what is really collapsing here.

I don't see how it's possible to answer whether this will "function". None of the simplistic actions stated in the press release address any of the actual threats - hence everyone is filling in their own imagined technical specifics. This is basically another "series of tubes" moment, with politicians not understanding that while they can control the physical wires, they cannot control the emergent complexity of communications happening over the wires.
