Nah, as others have pointed out, green circuits are used everywhere. Since they meet that requirement, the only thing else to ask is, "Do the materials take up more or less space than the item produced?"

For green circuits, it takes less transport to move the green circuits than to move the materials to make them, so you should make them centrally and distribute the circuits.

Copper wire, on the contrary, is used in many things but takes up more space than copper plate, so you should make it locally.
For local WordPress development, we used Bitnami's WordPress image[1]. Later, we used Local by Flywheel[2]. Both used VirtualBox so it was nice to get the entire WordPress stack with minimal installations. We only had a .NET developer at the time but he was able to "pick up" the LAMP stack with these solutions.

Uhh, maybe US cities haven’t, but here in Tokyo I never smell feces, step on needles, nor are there hordes of homeless people in every major part of the neighborhood, in a city that has affordable housing, a truly phenomenal public transit network, streets that pretty much never have potholes, and endless cultural and culinary amenities, in a place with GDP per capita far lower than SF. And it similarly was the case for pretty much every city I’ve been to in East Asia, so it’s not even just a Tokyo thing.

I was active in SF housing politics when I lived there for 8 years, and my conclusion is that SF and most other US cities incompetent local governments (SF’s especially) are stuck in a mindset where they still repeatedly declare that they’re “great!” despite their blatantly subpar infrastructure and the rampant, systematic trampling of their own citizens human rights. Perhaps it is great for the elderly voters who never leave their homes in the burbs and see the “undesirables”.

They make excuses about how US culture makes tried and true solutions in other cities impossible to implement (So... are they saying US culture is just inferior?), and that things will get better just around the corner (when it costs 10x more and takes 10x longer to make any updates to the built infrastructure in US cities than anywhere else, and SF itself has built virtually nothing in the last 40 years).

Maybe it will, but I decided for myself that I’m not willing to wait around for it, and chose one of the countless
cities in the world that in fact does do better.
"History is more or less bunk. It's tradition. We don't want tradition. We want to live in the present, and the only history that is worth a tinker's damn is the history that we make today." (Chicago Tribune, 1916).
If two interface points take different-length paths from the origin, they might be out of phase at the interfaces. If I'm doing the math right, a path 250 miles longer would be 90 degrees out of phase.
Lifelong resident. It's unprecedented in my experience to see such a rapid change in the weather pattern here. We have rainstorms often enough, and we get heat waves at this time of year too, but our heat waves don't ordinarily get interrupted by storms with gale winds - they will always diffuse gradually into windy or foggy weather.

I had to remind myself seeing it suddenly pick up last night that no, the world isn't ending, this is an ordinary tropical pattern.

But display notches obscure the display, they're a functional issue. There's literally a hole in the image. (I have a top centre notch, and curved corners, on my A70. When watching content, wherever possible I letterbox the corners and notch out so that I'm not missing anybody the actual frame.)

Most typists aren't touching the nipple when they're typing, so is it an objection that's purely aesthetic, as opposed to notches?
Sure, some publications might like that. And some publications still treat data as a plural of datum rather than a mass noun like water. But I don't think I know a native speaker who would look at "naive" and feel the way they do when thy see "could of".

FWIW, Economist explicitly names Naive as one to use without diacritic: https://cdn.static-economist.com/sites/default/files/store/S...
> I don’t know why so many languages have string functions that should take a locale but provide an overload that doesn’t and which uses the system locale as the default.

That‘s a relict from the past, before Unicode became prevalent, where systems used to ever only work in a single locale, and where users expected applications (running locally of course) to use the local system locale. Hence applying the system locale to everything was the standard behavior for applications. The C standard library was defined in that way, and since then every other runtime (usually based on C at some level) does the same.
The idea of gaining control of the management hardware like this is really exciting. Can anyone here comment on whether it could plausibly happen? I’m guessing it would require leaks from Intel because otherwise whoever develops the capability would presumably keep it close to the vest or sell it for major $ right?
How much of the tech stack would I need to know to be a developer then? The framework, the programming language, the server, the OS, the Hardware, the networking infrastructure...

In modern software, it's unreasonable to understand the entire system that you're developing for. It especially doesn't make sense in a business sense...
I’ve never been to SF, how often can one find abandoned syringes on the street or in public transport?
It would be easy for Intel to prove what code is running. Peer review does the rest.
> So by that logic, why not just create some game for candidates to master. If all you're testing for is "how much they want it" and how quickly they pick up on some arbitrary system that they'll never use in their actual job, then the subject shouldn't matter, right?

You have reinvented the Chinese civil service examinations, congratulations. More generally the higher stakes a test gets the less the subject matter matters. If you make admission to Harvard or Cambridge based solely on interpretation and knowledge of pre 2000 rap it won’t be long until the same people who would have done well on a test of English literature are intimately familiar with Tupac.
So far I haven’t seen a usecase that absolutely needs an Array either. I mean one that can only be addressed by an Array and will fall apart without it. But many people have used it as a general enough hammer to hit every nail they can find with it. As last it as people make money on it, even hypothetical money, it’s going to stay popular.
1. You end up doing more work in the end with mongo. Instead of SQL, you have to reinvent the wheel with new logic
2. It's not as reliable as a relational database
3. There are several ORMs in node that make using databases even easier like typeorm
4. A lot of databases support JSON now
5. Databases still perform better than Mongo in general
6. If you really need NoSQL, Cassandra tends to be better imo
Nothing is more permanent than “temporary” arrangements; and nothing is more temporary than “permanent” ones.
Don’t listen to everyone being so negative. I lived in Civic Center for several years. Fine place because it’s so central and easy to get anywhere. Probably not a good place to raise a family but otherwise fine. You got a great deal on rent.
A large portion of jobs in the bay area are in Silicon Valley which is south of SF and comprised of cities like San Jose, Palo Alto, and Sunnyvale. For someone seeking the amenities of a global city like SF, none of the other cities in the bay area come remotely close. They're all generally quiet, clean, suburban locales except San Jose which is a sprawling mid-sized city but still nothing like SF for someone wanting a world class city.
The problem is that clouds (and a big rock) keep getting in the way.
> In the big picture, the good students are going to get good markers, average students are going to get average markets, and bad students will get bad markets. Again, it is what it is.

In my year, I and one other student had to go significantly beyond the support provided to get the grades we needed. I studied one A-Level entirely outside school as they couldn't make the timetable work, and then added another to be done in a year (typically a two year course) because my school had given me bad advice about which were required. If it were this year, and my school were known for overpmarking, I'd face getting downgraded for something I had no control over. I was predicted, and needed, the top grades (AAA) in specific subjects, and even dropping to AAB would mean not getting into my university of choice. It can be a kick in the teeth for anyone who has put the extra effort in.

Ask HN: Do kids make you happier?
Below are my 2 cents on the topic, but I would love to read anno-2020 views as I need to decide at some point.

I think there are 2 things why people like having a child (after it is there):

1. You have someone who loves you which is typically a plus

2. You have someone who needs you, thus giving you a higher purpose in your life: to care for it

Thus, the fewer loving relationships you expect to have and the less purpose or goals you have in life the more benefits a child brings you.

The more loving relationships you have and the more purpose you have already the less benefits a child brings you.
I thought the original Minesweeper’s first move wasn’t a risky guess because the board was seeded after clicking the first spot?

Not that I played a ton but I don’t recall ever losing on the first click.
To me, the undotted-i thing is more of a hack. Far more beautiful is why Turkish distinguishes the two vowels: Speakers of Turk languages don't like to mingle bright and dark vowels in the same word. Appreciate the economy of not having to switch your enunciation between front and back in the same word.

Speakers of Turkish generally build words with vowels from either of these exclusive groups:

aıuo

eiüö

You see? They could write "ä" instead of "e" to have all bright vowels dotted and mirror the symmetry. But because "e" was already available and pronounced like that in other dominant languages of the time, they stuck to it. No need to break conventions. This didn't work for "ı" because there was no corresponding letter in the Latin alphabet. So they loped off the dot from i and called it a day. A pragmatic decision. Except that the capital version had then to be dotted to keep the distinction. That caused a lot of headaches downstream.
> but it's hard to write it the 50th time.

You know you wrote it 49 times before, but the person reading the code probably doesn't. It only changes your experience not everyone else's.

If it's the same codebase, just write that function :)

Ask HN: Are there demographics of conspiracy beliefs filtered by location?
>For my purposes (set up a simple blog and get it running), I truly don't think that I need, or should, have to learn the ins and outs of the tech stack.

Well ... if you want a simple blog, then you can setup an account with the 10million hosted blogging services that are out there. And if you want a wordpress blog, then you can set up an account with wordpress.com, or get a hosted solution with Wordpress/LAMP already preinstalled, or get a VM with Wordpress pre-configured (e.g. Vagrant Box with Wordpress: https://themeisle.com/blog/vagrant-wordpress/).

What you wanted however, was a locally hosted Wordpress (why?) that you installed and configured (on Windows no less). That's fine, but Wordpress requires PHP, and requires a web-server, and requires a database - so you'll have to be able to understand what all those pieces are in order to install and configure them together.

>In fact I chose WordPress specifically _because_ I wanted it to abstract most of the implementation details away from me.

Which it does. There is a difference between being a user of Wordpress and installing and administrating Wordpress. For the former, understanding the tech stack is not required. The UI is meant to be used by non-tech savvy people. For the latter, yeah, you need to be familiar with the tech stack. That you're not, and you had some trouble installing it, that's not the fault of Wordpress.

Luxury studios were about that much 10 years ago. I don’t expect drops to be much further. The exodus is already decelerating according to Zestimates I’ve been following closely. I expect prices to drop further for a little bit longer then start to creep back up. Anyone who wants to live in the best weather in the continental USA should lock in their price now.

If you like the look of Factorio but are (like me) intimidated by the open-endedness of it, check out the puzzle games by Zachtronics, the developer of Shenzhen I/O. Because they're divided into small levels that teach you how to play, they are much more accessible than Factorio, which requires dozens of hours to get good.

Infinifactory and Opus Magnum are the easiest ones to get into. All are great.

Yeah it’s more of a wish fulfillment than anything resembling an objective forecast.

That's probably not the right way to go about countering the argument. Nuclear is the real baseline power option right now. Most renewables don't have the continuous output capability needed. Enhanced hydro power and nuclear build out could help to move things in a better direction relatively quickly.

Then great news, SF has built almost nothing since 1979, so you’re more likely than not to be covered!

Maybe I was being a cheapskate for keeping my rent under $2k per month when I lived there, but I never lived in an apartment that wasn’t rent controlled.
Hi, thanks for all your comments.

All the things you mentioned totally make sense. I do have a landing page. This is to quickly see the other people's thoughts and validate the idea.

Eventually it would be topic based and/or algorithm driven. But for now, it would be manual, it just takes time and effort to build everything. I am doing this for free and for fun.

I have not thought about the abuse issue, looks like a pretty big and valid concern.
I don't know what it is (despite racking my brains about this for years), but there's something about Factorio that makes it much more fun for me than programming -- unless the programming I'm doing is something I'm intensely interested in, which programming for work rarely is.
I live in SF and no excrement on the sidewalk where I live.

Problem with SF is some neighborhoods are being neglected. There’s no penalty for lawless vagrancy, not even a “shoo shoo”. I’ve seen portapotties set up next to tent camps. I guess that’s better than street shitting but it’s a major disappointment to see tent cities encouraged.
Trump has a travel ban on India through the end of the year and he just ordered Wechat be sold, and He's also sending foreign students back home. You also have, what is very obviously, a puppet ideology infecting people's minds in western countries and the tolerance for that radicalization in many is heading towards zero. As one example, Idaho still has militia units running around keeping the peace.

I think the "good ol' days" of tech companies hiring the best and brightest from around the world to sell exploitive products is over with. If those people want to move here, become US citizens, bring over their immediate family, and rescind their foreign country citizenship great. On the backend of this pandemic, you're going to see a gargantuan backlash against exploitive companies period.

Put your effort into making sure whatever you are doing is efficient and don't get too invested in your current employer.
Google Play Music will begin shutting down in September
I’m sure most of the Sierras don’t require day use reservations, but I’m pretty sure nearly all of it requires permits for car camping or backcountry camping, and those permits are difficult to get (apart from taking the risk of showing up for a walk-in permit).

And I understand the stereotype of the techie who thinks Yosemite Valley reservations is the only way to enjoy nature, but I don’t think that’s me. I’ve been on dozens of trips to the Sierras and I’m fairly experienced with the various permit systems. That said, I’m sure there are still less-travelled gems that I haven’t discovered. :)
It's never too late, if there is no alternative.

How will renewables keep people warm all winter? Perhaps we could hope for a planet-scale superconducting grid, or a cheap way to make methane from sunlight, but those seem less practical than nuclear, which already works. Though it'd be nice if we poured more investment into "walk away safe" reactor designs.
If you treat Unicode as your backing representation -- a pile of glyphs -- you can build what you're asking on top right?
There are far worse places than SF. But yeah SF needs better leadership. Our current incognito mayor needs to be thrown out.
Small nit just for clarity: you mean "open an account on wordpress.com" - wordpress.org is the self-hosted version.
A company called xocial would fit the bill. They're a registered B-Corporation. From their FAQ:

xocial is a team of do-gooders (okay, okay, developers, strategists and investors) who want to use technology to make us better parents, friends, coworkers, bosses, businesses and citizens. Instead of measuring our popularity, xocial measures our positive social impact. The fact that we’re measuring it means we can compete with each other to see who can do the most good—which is where our idea for competitive kindness came from.

I wonder given the interest of people in factorio here, maybe there could be a HN factorio server.
Could be a more convincing statement with examples...
I'm glad someone said this because this was my take as well.

Here's Notre Dame's tracker:

My theory is that the semester will be shut down just in time for nobody to get their money back (where students otherwise would have taken a gap year or something). Maybe I'm just cynical.
You're making very strong statements over a huge assumption that you have no data to back up. This is not like previous years. The students sat no exam, they were ranked within their school, and then assigned grades based on the previous performance of their school. It is reverse affirmative action.
This is a great article! It’s surprising how much tech debt pops up in games like these.

Another game much like this is Satisfactory, which is basically the 3D version of Factorio. I actually wrote a very similar article about it here, though more focused on architecture instead of process: https://medium.com/@wotamRobin/what-satisfactory-and-website...
I just mean, rather than leaving your computer with a powerful remote administration system un-configured & ready to go with a default password, provision it yourself, set the passwords, maybe even use it.
UPDATE FROM is a nice extension. In Oracle I've done similar things with an UPSERT/MERGE statement. The linked example of:

UPDATE inventory
SET quantity = quantity - daily.amt
FROM (SELECT sum(quantity) AS amt, itemId FROM sales GROUP BY 2) AS daily
WHERE inventory.itemId = daily.itemId;

Could be done with MERGE using:

MERGE INTO inventory i
USING (
SELECT
SUM(quantity) AS amt
, itemId
FROM sales
GROUP BY 2
) daily
ON (
i.itemId = daily.itemId
)
WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE
SET i.quantity = i.quantity - daily.amt;
San Francisco and cities like it are not oil wells; they are collaborative social efforts that ideally involve participation from everyone involved. Paying taxes (ie paying someone else to do something for you) is great, but you always have the invitation to roll your sleeves up and participate in more ways.

Have you ever picked up trash? Or helped build a trail? Or gone to a city town hall meeting? Written to a local committee? Volunteered at the food bank?

If you’re like me and have the privilege of affording to live here, before and during COVID, this is still a lovely place to live an interesting, fulfilling and content life.

Be here, take part :)
Basically one look at the history of monopolies will tell you all you want to know. This is a digital monopoly (well not yet) but heading there quickly, and the public doesn't seem to care. They will care when google starts monetizing services rather than only getting the vast majority of its profits from ads. When you're the only game in town you can start dictating terms unilaterally. Google scares me far more than Apple or Amazon or Facebook. Apple is a hardware company with lots of alternatives, Amazon actually has competition with itself from third party sellers on it's platform, Facebook is just getting old and tired and I predict won't be relevant in 5-8 years, I smell an AOL event coming for them. Google however controls our main source of -information- and that's fucking scary in the digital age.
Hmm, thanks for the info. Just to clarify, it will be appointment based, and you will go to a meeting link similar to zoom meeting. They will never call you directly, neither do they know your contact info. You can cancel the appointment anytime if you don't like talking to that person.
I think the real question is: is there any use case for toLower() where you want the system default locale to be applied? If you want to lower-case text for "system" purposes then you need to keep track of the locale associated with that text (which won't generally be the locale of the system the program is running on); the only case where you want to use the system default locale is where you're interacting with the (human) user of the system, but it's hard to imagine a use case where you'd want to use toLower() for displaying text to the user.
Yes, the original Minesweeper never allows you to lose on the first click. This version is an extension of that behavior: it will “cheat” in your favor anytime you are forced to guess (not just on the first move).

> [...] you have to guess the first move and maybe it’ll be a mine. In this case, Windows Minesweeper quietly chooses a different arrangement of mines and pretends like you got lucky after all — but it doesn’t do that if you’re stuck at the end.
