I have recently been building simple sites (HTML+CSS) for small-ish businesses with Hugo, with great success. I am currently building a base theme that will contain all the basic scaffolding, much like how Wordpress have the concept of child themes. I plan on open sourcing this base theme, but it is far from stable and under active development atm, but I have used it for several projects already and it enables me to put up a basic site within a day. The sites are super-lightweight and loads instantly, and contains all the features the client needs.

What is still missing to some degree is an admin panel for the clients to easily publish their own content, although there are some alternatives (Forestry, Netlify etc). So far my clients are happy to leave the actual content management to me, as their sites are only occasionally updated.

EDIT: Also, NUM looks really interesting!
It would be a big change for sure, but maybe less of a problem than you imagine:

Also there's the fact that, per calorie, producing beef requires an order of magnitude more arable land than producing <insert-your-favorite-vegetable-here>, since cattle eat so much more than humans do.
> Banning personal vehicle diesel engines

Diesel is not worse than petrol:

Diesel cars tend to have lower volumetric fuel consumption figures than comparable gasoline vehicles. However, the benefit in terms of CO2 emissions is significantly lower, as the combustion of 1 liter of diesel fuel releases approximately 13% more CO2 than for the same amount of gasoline.

The halting problem only says that you cannot tell if a program ever stops, i.e. takes a finite number of steps but without any a priori bounds. If you limit the number of steps to N, you can just run N steps of the program on your given input and look if it has stopped already.
It's hilarious that in a thread about misinformation the idea that children are immune is being treated as not true. Death rates for COVID for people under 20 are ~zero. Babies are in fact immune, perhaps due to relatively lower levels of ACE2 expression compared to adults.

HN readers seem to have totally lost it w.r.t. COVID and misinformation. It's practically guaranteed that in any thread about misinformation/FB/Twitter/etc someone will state something about COVID that's true and then describe it as misinformation, or state something about it that's false and then decry the conspiracy theorists who don't believe it.
Every time I had to get in touch with support person at Namecheap I've had very good experience. No matter if I had a presales question or was asking for technical advice, there was a real person to talk to, via live chat or email.

I played Path of Exile for many years since the 1.0 release and always found reasons to go back to it. The only reason I stopped playing was a decrease in leisure time and having to choose between it and Minecraft. Minecraft lets me exercise my creativity much more which is the only reason I picked it. The devs do make some questionable moves (like their mystery boxes aka gambling boxes and frequent nerf/buff cycles simply for the sake of change) but they are by far the most in touch with their playerbase of any game I've played and this really shows. The game looks amaznig, plays amazing and is always improving.

I for one would be okay if I was not subjected to social problem solutions that facebook employees think are best.

I did not vote for them and I would rather have the people I did vote for (and that I can stop voting for) solving those problems.

That is just me though. I'm sure many other people would much rather have their problems solved by Facebook employees than elected representatives, I mean I for one also think that most people elect literally the worst people in the world and would rather have them ruled over by unelected clerks at facebook.

The thing is that soil used for grazing cattle can’t be used for planting vegetables efficiently.

There is a reason why we have different farming, because of different soil quality.

So the effect would be to reduce the area of where we can produce food.

And if you would remove cattle you no longer have natural fertilizer. Mineral fertilizer has a big environmental impact on ground water.

Affinity products are wonderful. Affinity Photo is not as good as Photoshop but it's getting there and prices don't even compare. Affinity Design is excellent. I usually draw 2D shapes in Design then export to svg into FreeCAD for extruding. Works perfectly.

You can tie in to Home Assistant quite easily. You can then make all sorts of things. Buttons to turn things on, screens to show data from Home Assistant, measure things (distance, door open/closed state, humidity, light/dark, weight etc). The sensors are nearly all really inexpensive and seem to be pretty accurate. From knowing nothing to having something functional working takes a few hours. It’s great fun and anything with lights and sound gets kids involved very easily.
Upon reading your, and GP, it occurred to me that we've lost the idea that it is the buyer that is responsible for the purchases.

It used to be that people and organizations making unethical purchases were the ones we considered, and held, responsible. For a long time we've had good, positive movements centered on informing the buyer. We added expiration dates, ingredient lists, nutritional value information, crashworthiness scores and reliability ratings, country of origin labels, even ethical sourcing labels. Perhaps too much of a good thing caused information overload and resulting numbness? Somehow, between the Prohibition, the "war on drugs", and the supply side moral regulations, we've lost the spirit of "well informed free agents making decisions".

Most of the services (FB and the likes) we're discussing here are morally neutral by their nature, and it takes concerted efforts to make them non-neutral[1]. It is the particular use they are being put to that is moral or immoral. Let's not shift vast moral powers from the wide society to a narrow cadre, shall we? The economy is a neat distributed system. It's the popular democracy before democracy became popular. Let's not give it up.

I'm sure they have generators for handling blackouts. Even my local grocery can keep operating in a blackout. Some people can't survive without machines after all.

They occasionally get caught by rarer situations like a blackout combined with a flood which takes out the generators.
I work at a firm that does a lot of contracting in medical field including hospitals.

We are currently working with some equipment in radiology. Devices need to be connected to network, so that they can display data on proprietary viewing device connected to the network.
Some devices (and viewers) are using old versions of windows (win2000 and linux, still see RH4 ) as a base. You don't have control/access over the windows machines only vendors do, and a lot of them are obsolete versions. Windos 2k is still common.

Network dies (or is inaccessible) for any reason, and device is unusable, because you cant control it or see the results.

I spoke to their systems guys, they are aware of risk, but their hands are often tied.

They create a crappy site with blog spam.

Pay someone else to get people to visit.

Then the people who have been directed to the site by someone else click on their ads, which = $

But they just found out the people who visit are really bots.

Sitting in Germany this makes me really wonder how things are going to change in winter. The parks have been exploding with people because with most of the indoor spaces closed, or only accessible with masks, this became one of the only ways to spend free time. Restaurants are now available as well, and people are back at work in a more limited way, but parks are still the dominant form of recreation in Berlin as far as I can tell.

How is this going to change when it's not so pleasant to sit or walk outside anymore? I have the feeling that either case counts are going to rise, or mental health is going to become a bigger issue (even more so than it usually is at this latitude in the winter time).
GD is just overpriced. Since then I move away all my domains to local registrar. thanks.
And in the long run, energy efficiency is the thing we need.

In a more distant future, we'll be able to use energy to clean up the damage from using a dirty energy source. When that's possible, when you'll be able to wrap full cleanup costs into EROI, then "clean energy" will only mean "more efficient energy source".
We know that the best way to build trust is not to ask for it, it's to act in a trustworthy way. That's why we try to make our systems and processes as transparent as possible so that users can verify for themselves whether their information is safe. Anyone can check public documents to see who runs our company and how we created Proton. We publish a transparency report and a clear privacy policy. We routinely subject our code to third-party security audits and publish the results. And of course our software is free and open source. You can find more details about this on our blog here: https://protonmail.com/blog/is-protonmail-trustworthy/
just delete my account if you think so. I think you and your "unbiased" opinions are junk too. this is just another communist shithole. might just go to weibo and post my junk there.
Actually, why not? The main reason that "in the kernel" is concerning is because untrusted code needs some kind of sandboxing, either by static analysis or by run-time checks. (Most modern systems do a combination of both).

After all, the whole "in the kernel" vs. "in userland" distinction only exists because we get hardware-accelerated sandboxing from the CPU and OS combined.
How do you do that ? I didn't know you could compile a kernel directly to an UEFI payload.

Edit: Indeed it's possible with CONFIG_EFI_STUB=y : https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/EFISTUB - thanks for the hint !
> the combustion of 1 liter of diesel fuel releases approximately 13% more CO2 than for the same amount of gasoline

Yup -- I was really surprised when I started looking at the nutrition labels on Pret food. High calories, tons of mayo. Not great.
This isn't an argument over say Italian vs French cuisine. That's undecideable.

This is an extraordinary claim that by taking Indian food to the UK, stripping it of it's spice to suit the locals somehow made it better. It'd be like claiming Italian cuisine became better without the tomatoes or Mexican cuisine better without the beans.
Neat ! So does that mean before 2022 we will have multi-core ocaml?
Evidence suggests the opposite: they would write a self-congratulatory blog post about it.

Some people we've spoken to are interested in serving _very_ basic site content out of NUM records. So this could make the DNS your CMS which is interesting and terrifying in equal measure.
This looks better. Can you mark the center of a bore and are there like surface roughness etc symbols?
No, internet infrastructure consumes a vast amount of electrical energy. Some put it at 10% of the global use of electricity. That's a lot just to store, process and transfer bits. Curbing that would definitely make a significant impact.

Sure, it won't solve the bigger issue in one fell swoop. No single action will. Instead, the way to realistically make progress is via the accumulation of small improvements everywhere.
A static site generator like jekyll or Hugo might be a good option if "real-time" dynamic content is not really needed - e.g. most blogs and news/magazine sites don't need to generate the page everytime (or even every so often then cache it). Just generate it once and serve the HTML.

Nothing beats the feel of a static site loading in - so snappy and fast (especially if CSS has been adequately minified/bundled too).

I tried A2+ before and it did not work well for me. I wrote this at the time:

> I liked how easy it was to define constraints between the parts. Unfortunately I found that if I changed any of the parts in any way, then when I updated the part in the assembly, A2plus had lost track of which pieces of geometry were supposed to be constrained. This is very annoying and means you need to redefine the constraints for a part every time you change the part. I read somewhere that A2plus is best used when you have already committed to the design of the parts and you just want to assemble them together, but that is not really a useful workflow. If I've already committed to the design of the parts, I can just print them out and assemble them together in real life!
"Intermittency angst" is a classic pro nuclear, anti renewable propaganda strategy which is overused to the point it becomes boring. At some point the only reasonable answer is to just roll your eyes. Ok, so lets say renewables was the worst bet all along because storage is impossible. Renewables will only generate 80% of all electricity then. We'll have to use some gas to cover the rest. Would you consider this to be a failure, even if it's cheaper than nuclear? Your fridge isn't going to stop working continuously. It's a strawman. It was never on the negotiation table in the first place.
You could extend the argument to intra-national competition. What if instead of competing with each other, we were all aligned towards common goals. Unfortunately and sadly, such is human nature that we are hardly motivated by much else than one-upping each other.

The Boeing was a major scandal though. We didn't blame the pilot or the software developers. We blame Boeing and the Air regulation authorities for not doing the necessary QA.

>I agree but this does not mean that we are ready for that.

Yes, well then this issue is even more important.

Because the german police are treating this as a type of homicide. So they seem to be going after the hackers as the cause of death here.

Then it becomes even more important to clarify why the woman was turned away.

Others have pointed this out but it could be as simple as general policy, or a manager not willing to risk treating her without the proper tools.

Either way, european countries have been talking about society readiness lately and this is key for society preparedness.

Therefore I'm not sure we should be pointing fingers at the hackers here, seems like an easy scapegoat for a deeper issue.

Even if they have to manually operate a ventilator for 4 hours in shifts, they are still a hospital. The most qualified place to save a life, and they turned it away.

This is a tactic that needs to be called out more often.
If everyone did that? Probably very positive in terms of energy and resource use, positive in terms of less things to worry about for the businesses - and very negative for all the bullshit adtech jobs that wouldn't be needed anymore.

So strongly positive, in other words.

One has to remember that marketing and advertising have a big negative-sum-game component going on, where most or all of your marginal effort to promote your product serves only to cancel out the marginal effort of your competitors to promote their products.

> There aren't really subsidies for TSMC here in Taiwan.

Subsidies don't need to be direct cash handouts/tax deductions. I think the real advantage TSMC gets over its non-Asian competitors is government spending on infrastructure specifically for silicon fabrication. TSMC has guaranteed access to water, electricity and engineering talent from local universities on a resource constrained island.

It's smart industrial policy that is the key behind the rise of a lot of Asian tigers, and something other countries should study as well - laissez faire is not always the optimal answer to innovation.
I know Travis' and Paul Dubois[0] work at Livermore was immediately recognized as of towering importance almost immediately. I was down the highway at LBNL porting shitty Mathematica, IDL[1] and Fortran Diffraction Grating code to Numeric or whatever they called Numpy back then almost as soon as it was released. People probably don't remember their history, but pretty much the only open source intepreters of the day were things like Perl (whose math capabilities at the time were pretty lousy). Scientists paid for a shitload of Maple, Mathematica, IDL, Matlab and Igor[2] licenses; and there still weren't enough licenses to share code with your friends, because nobody had licenses for them all.

Python 1.5 was the first non-mentat tier open source interpreter available that didn't get in your way as a scientist, and Numeric/Numpy was the first and still the most elementary piece that made it usable to science and numerics people. Might not have been letters to Nature tier back then, but Nature ain't what it used to be anyhow.
