I'm not sure about those milk bottles, but in Germany the "Mehrwegpfandsystem" typically gets 40 to 50 cycles from a glass bottle and up to 25 cycles out of a PET bottle. Unfortunately, this system has been on the decline in recent years and customers often choose single-use plastic bottles.
> While long-term this might end up being great for RISC-V... set everything back another 5+ years.

Five years is no big deal. In fact there’s so much in the pipeline it’s likely little will be different For 3-5 years.

The bigger problem is RISC-V is immature and to use ARM as an example will need another decade to get its act together (for which I have high hopes BTW). I agree with you that this will definitely be a shot in the arm for RISC-V.

> it's going to cause a huge fracture in software stacks at the exact WORST time [due to platform convergence]

This is far from the worst time, and platform monoculture is not something to be celebrated. So from that perspective you’ve given me some encouragement from the news of this deal.
> as yet zero detection of actual matter that fits it's properties.

Except for all the ways we have to detect actual matter (i.e. gravitation) that fits its properties.
I second this, spent my birthday there last year and it was a blast!
MOND does not reject the observational evidence for Dark Matter theory, it just postulates that it primary cause is not a "non-baryonic particle that interacts only via the gravitational field".
Don't you feel safer now?
You got anything similar to keep downvoted comments from being discolored? It’s a bit of an accessibility issue for me.
Correct me if I'm misunderstanding, but at least in California this doesn't seem to be the case: https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voting-resources/voting-cal...

It says you should bring in your mail-in ballot to the polling place, and if you don't then you can cast a provisional ballot "which will be counted after your county elections official has confirmed you are registered to vote in that county and did not vote more than once in that election." Based on that wording it sounds like if you already submitted a vote-by-mail ballot, then you would have already voted and your provisional ballot won't be counted.
I think the determination of probable cause should be audited much more heavily, with a lot more in the way of penalties for judges for clearly wrong answers.

I also think the fact that there is essentially no consequence whatsoever for police plainly lying in warrant applications is a major oversight.

100% of the applications for granted warrants I’ve read have had clear factual errors in them, sworn under penalty of perjury (ha!).

We don’t even track what percentage of warrant applications contain perjury (~100% in my estimation), much less what percentage of those so swearing face consequences as a result (~0% in my estimation).

The system is broken.
"The better strategy would be to charge a fee, up front, for all goods that reflects their cost of disposal."

That's exactly how it's done in multiple European countries (IIRC Netherlands was the pioneer there, but there are others) - there's a tax on packaging and in some cases disposable plastic stuff, it gets collected at the point of manufacture or first sale and is used to subsidize sorting/collecting/recycling or reprocessing or incineration, just as you propose.

Alternatively, there are schemes such as Germany where the manufacturers are responsible for ensuring that their packaging gets mostly collected and reprocessed afterwards, so instead of a tax, most manufacturers cooperate to directly fund a private program ('green dot') which organizes collection from households and recycling/reprocessing/other elimination of that packaging waste.
I'll never forget when I was applying for internships back in 2010, Nvidia was the ONLY company I came across with an GPA requirement (3.5). I happened to be below that, so I didn't even bother applying.

None of the FAANGs cared in the slightest.

I bring this up just because I feel it probably probably represents their arrogance well, in addition to everything else they do.
I am sick of people saying problems are easy to fix by just enacting new laws or regulations. It is so naive.
Reusable containers are relatively heavy and take up space in delivery vehicles. It will cost the restaurants time and money to do this. People won’t spend the time to take the containers back so they will end up in the trash or people will find use for them. So all you’ve done is drive up food costs for low income folks and created more wasteful containers. How dumb is that?
"Shattered" the law is pretty questionable. MS (Feel like i should write M$ for /. nostalgia) had some underhanded bussiness tactics, no doubt (some of which probably werent even illegal, just scummy), but im not sure shattered the law is a reasonable description. That's something i would reserve more for organized crime. Microsoft never extorted people, planted listening devices, hired hitman, etc. The rabbit hole of crime goes down very far, microsoft did not stoop anywhere near that far.
> Why is a manhole cover round?

Easy, manholes covers are round for the same reason JavaScript is the most popular language.

Answer: once round manholes became ubiquitous it became extremely difficult to make anything other than round manholes covers.
this was my experience as well. it is a great article that accomplishes its narrative goal. i never want to read it again.
But my recommemdations sucks pretty much everywhere.
User name checks out. Lots of gratuitous butt-cleavage on the site. Looks nice and I am interested. But why all the butts?????
I wonder what could have replaced all the plastic though?

And what would China be like if they never got to grow by making so much cheap plastic stuff to get them up the ladder to making so much tech stuff.
That doesn't fundamentally change that there are only 2 choices available for books I've enjoyed.

Also, if you asked me about a book I read a year ago, I wouldn't be able to do much more than confirm I read it. That's part of why I use Goodreads.

Between secureboot disabling, mokutil, and Microsoft signing Ubuntu and Red Hat kernels directly, I think it's pretty clear there's no desire for lock-in and that it's actually a security feature.
This sounds miserable. What did you do for periods of deep work?
Fun fact: for like 2 years long, every time i opened Goodreads.com i saw the exact same sentence: "Because Deborah liked.... she discovered...."

The exact same books/text for about 2 years. Torture...
And that's why there's groups working on both dark matter and modified/new theories of gravity.

It seems quite difficult to modify GR or make a new theory of gravity which explains the new observations while matching GR in the old ones, where GR has been verified. But if someone manages, then you'll see scientists flock to it.
Exactly. Too many people see the government’s role to be their parent and protect them from every bad thing in the world. Grow up folks.

If everyone who lied for their own gain were to be sent to prison we’d have no politicians left in government. Come to think of it we would all probably be in jail at some point.

Maybe just don’t believe everything you hear.
American — unaware there were so many photos, so much footage of falling people from September 11, 2001.
Well, I meant your own money. You certainly need money for certain things, but it doesnt have to be yours. A good performance marketer understands how to leverage somebody elses money to their advantage.
And that is an advantage... why?
I won't directly answer 1 or 2, but here's my experience.

For my job I was primarily using Elm and Go then for my new job it's been all Elixir. I thought I would miss Elm's compiler (Go, I do not miss).

It's hard to explain, but I find that instead of thinking about what well-defined thing I'm reasoning about, it's about the flow of the data and what shape it happens to be in.

In saying that, with structs and Ecto schemas, we pass those around primarily and pattern match on them too.
Sure, but a counterexample of one or two could be literally anything. After all, conventional dark matter theories don't do a good job of explaining why there just so happens to be galaxies with highly-deviant clumps of dark matter.

If the bullet cluster is a great counter example for MOND, then conventional dark matter is highly opportunistic curve fitting (which doesn't mean it's not correct).
pointer + size does not really fix anything, as you are relying on the programmer to correctly keep track of the size. I'm not even sure what alternative this improves upon. even more error-prone null value marking the end? praying the array will be big enough (looking at you, gets!)?

unless you have a team of incredibly diligent coders, people are going to read past the end of bare arrays over and over again. one specific mistake I keep seeing is where people misinterpret the meaning of a variable named `size`. is it the number of elements or the size in bytes? who knows, but it's probably UB either way if you're wrong.
This is so vague that if you're not faking it, you might as well be. Sorry, but don't bother posting, even under a throwaway, if you're not going to engage.
There's a lot of evidence for it, just not direct detection on it. It's like if you came into your room and saw writing on the wall, your carpets removed, your computer taken apart, etc. and then claimed there's no evidence anyone has been in your room just because you didn't physically find anyone in your room.

There are things to be frustrated about with the dark matter hypothesis (and I am too), but lack of evidence isn't one. Dark energy seems to be another beast though...
imagine you are a single, office worker, with long hours (no time to prepare your own lunches) and the only place you can get any food is the convenience store around the corner, you can get your lunch in a plastic container (bento box, sandwich container etc) and your drink from a pet bottle...

where is the choice to reduce there?

more than anything, the problem is the system and limited capabilities we have to reduce the usage of most plastic items

Why is #3 a problem? It's a feature! Enums are a great way to enforce values to a predefined set. I don't want you to work around it with random strings. Use the enum. That's what it is there for.
Goodreads interface is terrible. I'm surprised Amazon hasn't shut Goodreads down.

All I want from Goodreads is:

* A nice way to see all the books I've read
* Maintain a list of "Want to read books"
* A decent recommendation system for my next read

(If you like Goodreads I recommend Readwise, which lets you upload Kindle book highlights and helps you learn from them.)
I downvoted you but I feel bad for not explaining why.

One of my memories: Being pulled into a side office and grilled for a half hour for posting a similarly harmless statement to HN.

So your comment triggered mild PTSD.

It's not your place as an individual employee to post about your employer. You work in a team setting. If the team decides it's appropriate to post to HN, then that's fine. But you alone do not get to decide that.
This isn't actually true at all. The extended family is the historically most long lasting form of organisation, people banding together in communities of about 100-150 people, sharing responsibility and living in multi-generational environments.

This was the case until very recently in fact. The nuclear family is largely an abberation brought on by the commercialisation of what used to be the job of a village. David Brooks wrote an excellent piece on the development (in the US in particular) not long ago:

https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2020/03/the-nuc...

The dysfunction you're speaking about is actually a result of that very same dynamic. Largely affluent upper-middle classes have replaced the extended family with professional services and shrunk the family unit down. It's poor people and minority communities who, lacking those resources, have suffered the most from the breakdown of the extended family.
It's great advice if you don't have the luxury of being a 1st world free loader.
He was prevented from talking at a conference because other speakers found his political opinions insufficiently woke. That does not bother you?
It's disheartening to have to spell this out, but the statement "some people on the political right believe in crazy conspiracy theories" does not imply "the entire right is against logical reasoning", and neither does "some subset of people on the political left support or have supported Pol Pot at some point" imply "support of Pol Pot is a mainstream opinion among left-leaning people", or "the entire left is against logical reasoning".
I think both big house 2 hours away and small studio 10 minutes away would both be happy about WFH. This means small studio 10 minutes away can move out of his small studio that he lives in only because its 10 minutes away.

EDIT: Not to say that studio 10 minutes from work might enjoy other aspects of his living situation but if his main constraint of "must be 10 minutes from work" is lifted, that gives him much more flexibility.
The theory is that clusters form around “anchor tenants”; Cambridge has the University (and its excellent CS departments), ARM and some others, and is close to he largest capital marketplaces in the world, grandiosely bundled into a so-called “silicon fen”. So school leavers can get jobs, network, start companies, develop other tech in a virtuous circle.

Well that’s the theory; nobody has actually been able to reproduce Silicon Valley except arguably in SF (it’s more like the valley grew a tentacle is the peninsula, though the distance is far enough that the culture is slightly different).

As far as Cambridge goes, I don’t see that this purchase makes any difference for those factors, except bragging rights in Whitehall.
Gosh, you must be right. There's a god-given right to not be charged the cost of the services you consume. Something for nothing!

Java was very innovative at the time, with byte code and JIT, a more clear OO design relative to C++, embeddable safetly sandboxed web apps, memory safety in a "professional" language, cross platform binaries (in a non scripting language) etc.

The mid 90's was a long time ago. What was exciting then is not exciting now.
Sounds like a preparatory delegitimization of the community council. After all, if the community doesn't care enough, then Canonical can retake more direct control eventually and simply say that the community wasn't stepping up enough to take their own lead.

I wonder what the endgame is like here. Ubuntu is slowly being crushed under the weight of all of their experiments and different packaging needs, and outreach efforts aren't paying enough to sustain growth. Like a Ponzi scheme, but without the ill intent or even the understanding of what was increasing in cost over the years.
I would seriously recommend stepping away from this site, or at least its comments, if the attitude and general political leanings that shine through the "keep politics away" veil frustrate you.

I did for a while and it was great.
now nvidia is the new intel, it owns arm and can do whatever it wants to.

time for other big companies checking out alternatives
As someone who worked at a rather popular social media company through the transition from "we're helping people connect" to "we're making all the money in the world" — not really.

In my opinion, it's not the likes themselves that ruin the internet; the like count is simply the number of people who agree or empathize with something. It's the algorithms that boost content that is likely to get more interactions and demote everything else. When I started, we didn't have much in the way of recommended anything. Your newsfeed was literally a list of posts made by the people and communities you follow, in a reverse chronological order, and nothing else. You had complete control over it. There were likes and reposts, but there was no way for something to be surfaced to a large audience without a bunch of people intentionally sharing it to their followers, retweet-style.

Without the algorithms meddling with what they see, people (usually) don't tend to chase like/share counts as much. There were civil discussions. People were simply talking to their followers by posting things — with no incentive to abandon everything human and become a "blogger". It was beautiful.
So what you're saying is that separating glass, cardboard, paper, compost, metal (which we can separate from one another if it is just metal by the methods you described) is valuable, but the all plastic can go in the "general" type, right?

Glass, cardboard, paper and compost are either recyclable or reusable, metal is recyclable when sorted correctly, and plastics are pretty much a no-go as the parent article suggests, right?
Possible failure modes with this approach: quite a few candidates who are not strong at actually doing the work will be able to somewhat convincingly "talk the talk" well enough to pass stage 2. If stage 3 is done async then there's a minority of candidates who will cheat and get someone else to solve the challenge for them. If the org has set up a hiring pipeline rather that first tries to identify strong hires before figuring out exactly which team they would join rather hiring to fill a specific role then step 2 might not make sense either, as there's no specific team to interview.

I agree that the in person time pressured performative problem solving & coding engineering interview process is often a poor approximation of the work.
Lot of json packages support CBOR
I agree. I honestly applaud the stores for paying that much attention, I'd say in Boston/Cambridge I think about 20% of stores understand that their containers require special disposal to handle and couldn't just get mixed in with the municipal compost.

Most just use the compostable containers without a second thought, because why should they give it a second thought? Honestly, I don't blame them, there's no reason they would think about this. It's marketed evil to get people to pay extra for a worse product all around, it's supposed to be confusing.

At MIT they use these compostable containers everywhere. From their own information their compost system cannot handle these containers that their own subcontractors use and don't even communicate this information well enough to avoid confusing MIT FACULTY MEMBERS. It confused me for over a year and I have a PhD in materials science!

Most stores in practice maybe have one waste container under such a special contract in their stores, but customers dispose of their to-go containers elsewhere.

If they were really green they wouldn't have throw away containers for in-store use anyway (setting aside the current situation where it makes sense for now).

So how can it make sense? If the customer is in-store they shouldn't be making waste containers. If the customer is using a container that gets thrown away they're probably walking out the door in which case the special waste container is useless.

I think it would be great if this all worked in a way that makes sense, but as it is now it is worse than nothing anywhere that doesn't have municipal compost already capable of handling these materials.
I’ve worked at companies where this was done right and wrong.

From my experience, if most employees are in an office and only a minority are remote, the remote employees are at a big disadvantage, unless the company (or remote employees) actively work to make sure they’re included in as much as possible.

If it’s in the company’s culture to have lots of ad-hoc in-person conversations where remote employees are unlikely to be included, they’re going to have a bad time. If those conversations mostly happen in chat or scheduled meetings with video chat, then it might work.

I think it’s probably better to just have whole teams be entirely (or at least majority) remote, or entirely onsite.
I don't really have an opinion but in fairness, the article is about a discrepancy between the data and current dark matter models.

Once Upon a Time in Visualization: The Use of Textual Narratives for Causality
The question is not so easy to answer. HN's 'Like' Counts somewhat helps rank content and thus save me time to check out the top stories. It's not bullet proof and many great posts get lost. But it's somewhat of a helpful tool to organise information.

The same goes for Google search results. One could say they are organised by 'likes' (how many pages link to that particular page).

So while on the surface, the gut reaction is YES. Kill the like button. The reality is that it's somewhat of a useful mechanism as well to quickly find what's relevant in the sea of content.
A lot of things Q says isn't verifiable yet, and maybe to most not believable but that doesn't make them categoricly "false". He predicted Christ Church hours before it happened and even said it will probably be a mass shooting this time outside the US. Although he claimed Europe as the country it might happen. He also predicted the El Paso shooting 48 hours in advance but wrongly claimed it happens in the next 24 hours. These are very close predictions and you also have to consider that an exact prediction would start people wondering if he couldn't have prevented them.
The current top-level comments are infuriating. You demand that scientists be honest, then accuse them of all-out fraud when they admit they have questions, secure in your ignorance of the things they actually have figured out and tried to tell you over and over again. You are more concerned with feeling smart and skeptical than actually learning. You are the reason we can't have nice things.
I think supporting dates, times, datetimes and durations would be an improvement.
Ok we’ll wait for some outages :) thanks for warning us , gitlab is great but stability ... you can easily be down with some feature for 1 week
Those minor costs can still add up. Depending on your setup and location you could easily be spending 30+c/h on electricity when working from home. Extra cooling, lighting, possibly multiple PC’s etc. At ~2,000 hours a year you’re talking an extra ~600$/per year after tax.

On the other hand it’s also much cheaper to cook at home.

PS: My preference is to live close enough to walk to the office, but that doesn’t really scale well.
