That still means that these platforms structurally work against getting important/valuable information to where it needs to be heard.

I'm viewing this on my phone, so maybe I'm missing something, but isn't this getting all of its typing information from you explicitly declaring a result set `as const`, and then subsequently doing `typeof` that const value? How does that help in real world queries, where the result sets are dynamic? Also, how does it help beyond just naturally declaring a result set as const without the use of this library?

> Like a lot of Java code targeting Android is harder to maintain than C++, after just 6 months or depending on the brand of phone it runs on...

Android isn't Java, and it's never been. It's an incompatible fork that has never conformed to the Java specification of parts of an old version of Java. Its compatibility story might be very different from Java. It is also much smaller in its reach than Java, and even of COBOL, and its domain is also much smaller than either.
Panels do, however, also reflect a fraction of ambient light.
I'm not sure that the then German government was fully supportive of Zuse's work, from the wikipedia article:

A request by his co-worker Helmut Schreyer—who had helped Zuse build the Z3 prototype in 1938[21]—for government funding for an electronic successor to the Z3 was denied as "strategically unimportant".

It is different shades of simplicity. Assembler is a very simple language, but it needs a lot of effort to write something non-trivial in assembler. Rust is much more complex, but a lot of tasks are much easier to do with rust than with asm.

Necessarily has enough money to pay the social security amounts for that time (in exchange for pushing everyone’s full retirement age back by two years, not one [0])

The bigger problem is I think the average US SS beneficiary takes home around $1400/mo (and they would be Medicare-eligible, unlike most new parents). My mortgage alone is a substantial multiple of $1400/mo.

[0] The one year for one year trade ignores the growth at Treasury rates between the age-at-use and current retirement age. That could easily be 35 years which is a doubling at 2% interest rates, so we’d have to push back everyone’s social security retirement age back by 2 years to fund a max of $1400/mo for 1 year for each child. If we ever return to 4% Treasury rates, that would be 4 years delay for everyone to fund it. 8% is over 15 years’ delay (mathematically is slightly under 15, but so few people draw 15 years that the actual delay would likely be 16 or more years) and we’ve had 8% Treasuries during my adult lifetime.

My mind is exploding at the possibilities.
Very rare long term outages would not be covered by batteries. For that, you want a rock bottom low capital cost, even if it's much less efficient. Hydrogen makes sense for that use case, burned in turbines.

For seasonal variation, simply overbuilding is also a possibility. No storage would be needed at all in Minnesota, for example, until renewables get to 70% of consumed electrical energy.
How to cure students of the “law of universal linearity”? (2014)
The problem with 'positive' liberty is simple. You can't have it without taking negative liberty away first- i.e. Universal Healthcare as a 'right'- you have to compel multiple levels of society via coercion in order to fulfill that right, thus weakening their negative rights to be free from such coercion.

For some reason, many people seem cling to a nebulous idea of 'government,' that is more a wish fulfillment mechanism than concrete enforcer entity, can provide positive rights without impinging on the more basic negative rights.
In theory, there is no difference between theory and reality. In practice, there is.

The French state forces employees to subsidize colleagues with kids

Employeesdo this by getting slightly lower pay which from employer's perspective makes up for paying wages to fathers who don't work.
I never said that.. I was just stating the facts because the parent comment made it sound like you get 12 months for free.
There's an additional tax in addition to income tax, but let's not get into French taxes... ;)
What do you do when somebody goes on vacations or gets a broken leg? Stop the business :)?

Here people have 26 days of paid leave + 1 year of combined paternity+maternity leave per kid + paid health leave whenever a doctor decides it's needed.

Businesses work just fine - they simply hire more people to offset the fact that everybody is expected to be out of office X% of the time. Also there are temporary contracts and B2B contracts if needed (less protection but also less taxes so they are quite popular with IT people).

Elite was written by Ian Bell and David Braben.

Ian Bell has a homepage with nice old Elite stuff free to download at http://www.iancgbell.clara.net/

A chap called Christian Pinder reverse engineered the BBC version of Elite (written in Assembly) and faithfully reimplemented it as documented C code. It was called "Elite: The New Kind" and was even ported to IRIX!

Unfortunately he was then contacted by David Braben and asked to no longer spread this version.
At least C# (and Swift too) is pivotal to that one big company offering. Free software and openness are important but they are not a silver bullet against bad management.
A company has to pay workers for 49 - 59 weeks without getting any work? I'm all for parental leave, but that's a full year.

Does the government subsidize this? That expense could sink a small company.

What happens if the workers leave the company after getting the benefit?

I'm really curious how European firms compete with American ones when workers can take so much time off and saddle their companies with so much responsibility. If every company in the world had to do this and the governments and taxes supported it, I'd be all for it.

I'm not passing judgment, just really curious how this works. I certainly favor parents getting plenty of time to adjust and spend time with their newborns. But I wonder if this is too much for companies to bear when they have to compete with companies that don't do this.
Boasting about national achievements is considered bad form in Germany (considered a trait of people who've got nothing else to show).
I was thinking that too. People are voluntarily aggregating news for likes, karma, points and recognition. Gathering some news on a certain webpage and re-writing it in your own words is NOT worth my money. But many online news pages are exactly like this nowadays.

HOWEVER

There is still plenty investigative journalism around. Or even sites that take "complex news" such as the newest draft for a certain law and condense this 40 page paper into understandable pieces. This is the kind of stuff I am donating for.

This is very similar to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24498854 (11 points, 11 days ago, 7 comments) Perhaps you can get some ideas from it.
Although I believe it’s best for the family to have the father take some time (as much as they can!), I think it’s sort of no ones business if he chooses to take time and how much time he takes. If you’re not getting 100% of your pay then there could be situations where that creates financial stress for example.

So maybe it doesn’t mean you don’t want to do it but simply can’t afford to do it.
Liveable wages might be one part of it, but blackcabs also charge more due to restricted supply caused by a 3-4 year qualification requirement that is almost completely obsolete in the age of GPS navigation.

But also the biggest party membership in a long time, the Tories quietly ‘adopting’ some of their policies post-election, the derided free internet idea seeming weirdly prescient when Covid hit, the number of people who voted Tory to ‘get Brexit done’... it’s more complicated than “they lost because people hate socialism”.

I honestly don't understand the nostalgia for the 1990s vendor-specific weird ass versions of Unix/similar stuff. All mutually different and incompatible and vendor-proprietary between IRIX, SunOS, HP/UX, ULTRIX, etc.

Of course the probability is never 0,00%. But it is obvious that the Fukushima accident happened due to geological factors. The same power plant would hum away nicely in Germany to this day, where there is little to no seismic activity and none on the scale of what happened in Fukushima.
I liked the web better with HTML2.

There were simple technologies which did a lot too, like Hypercard.

The creeping complexity of the web isn't something which had to happen. I understand the reasons it did happen, but in an alternative timeline, without Netscape vs. IE, the dot-com boom/bust, and the whole Netscape meltdown, it might not have happened.

People were building sophisticated applications which did a lot in the days of NeXTStep, BeOS, SGI, and Amiga, without this massive complexity build-up. Altavista scaled well too.
> Western governments are far more sinister than China

Oh really, I didn't know my country was doing things way worse then putting people in concentration camps, harvesting organs, putting people in prison because they had group sex, putting people in prison for years because they legally protested etc.

Thanks for the information! But just for future discussions when I try to talk down these pesky people that try to harass the beautiful country of China, the perfect state that never does anything wrong, can you provide some examples on how the western democracies are worse? These horrible right wing extremists always seem to want some kind of source for the claims when it's so obvious to us comrades.
I've heard more than once that tablets don't really cover the "running for hours, powered externally" use case very well (the constant charging/discharging leading to an exploding/expanding battery).

Was this just the early models or is this still the case?

I do wonder why there are so many commercial solutions for basically "a tablet, just a bit different".
> I have no reason not to believe them.

It's not that these people are lying, but it is common that people's subjective experience is biased by their expectation.

If I expect that dark themes are easier on the eye, I'm likely to experience any eye strain that might be caused by a bright theme in an exaggerated fashion.

Similarly, if I were to buy into this "the Pulfrich effect will slow you down" hypothesis, I might subjectively experience a benefit from switching to a light theme.

I don't buy into the hypothesis, so I'm sticking with a dark theme (as well as f.lux cranked up to eleven).

The traditional format will endure, but don´t you think there is ways to improve it? I would think the format is a compromise around the constraints of a teacher to student ratio and the availability of different media where whiteboard was an excellent way to share before digital media. People who learn well from watching others and are highly motivated to get their hands dirty perform well with this format. But isn´t it better to get help if you are stuck - either automated as our format have the context you are working in or by easily sharing your actual code with the context it is written?

We propose that bringing the process of writing code closer to the teaching materials will make more students likely to write more code. We also think making it easier to share your code within a context, without setting up a matching environment online or that the group teacher has to copy it locally, will make it easier to get quality feedback. And we will introduce this feedback loop as a part of the courses where students give feedback on each others code. We think that will give more people access to learning to code, and we can bring it even closer to the realities of being a developer.
The two groups largely overlap! But yes, technically, you're right.
It sounds really bad, though it's pretty hard to understand. Webmonetization.org/explainer is a 404, but I think I found it at https://webmonetization.org/docs/explainer/. One thing it says is "It should also be possible to: Tell the browser NOT to pay a particular website any money." We may end up with blocking lists like ad blockers, and getting put on or taken off such a list could be very contentious. Clickbait, introductory waffle, deliberately hard to understand information, bloated articles around tiny snippets of useful information, etc. would all be strongly incentivised. I'd rather just block every payment by default, and manually enable a few.

Coil's website is very vague and light on information, but two things it says are 1) you pay $5 per month [1], and 2) Coil pays websites $0.36 per hour spent [2]. That's ~14 hours of engaging with content per month, or just 30 minutes per day. What happens when it runs out? Payments stop? Access is cut off? Have to top up like a pay-as-you-go phone?

I think if I ever signed up for such a system I would become very practised at quickly judging a site and closing the tab. I visit plenty of sites I wouldn't give money to. Why not just give me a button to click when I want to pay 10c or whatever?

> GPU is a very consistent device.

You'd think that, but I found all GPUs I'm using here to exhibit multimodal distribution of execution times in the FFT (this is for the cuFFT codepath). The GTX980 (not shown in the plot) and the Titan-X even have very prominent outliers. This is a figure that's going to be in the paper I'm currently writing:

https://dl.datenwolf.net/gpu_oct_benchmark_plots.pdf

I'm comparing the OCT processing execution times (with HOT caches, mind you) between a Titan-X and a GTX1080. The difference also shows up very prominently when looking at the kernel scheduling order as reported by NVPP.

Uber has been in London since before that, competition by Uber and other minicabs was probably a reason for card requirements for black cabs.
To expand on this a bit, desktop versions of Linux will happily mount filesystems when they're attached. Server versions tend not to because with a server you likely have a specific use case for the device you just attached, maybe you want to use it for database storage, or extra swap space, or any number of other things. There's no intelligent way to divine that just from the fact a new drive was plugged in, so it doesn't.
Oh for sure, placebo is a strong possibility for me (the sense of taking action perhaps provides the mood improvement which is not quite placebo but a related effect); also on HN we're perhaps a lot more likely to be "shut-ins" (or approaching that) and so we're starting from a non-representative pool.

For me, I just noticed a few comments saying it helped their depression, was considering VitD already for Covid19 reasons, and figured the possible level of harm was almost zero so I'd give it a shot.

Not sure I'd expect a large randomised group to have a noticeable effect (can you link the study you mention, please) but perhaps "people who have reported depression, have been tested and found to be low in VitD" as a starting group and then see if it does better than placebo.

Thanks for your comment.

Or business expenses. Black cabs still tend to get you to your destination faster than Uber. They're faster to hail (at least in busy areas), can often use bus lanes and have more knowledge of the city. Their pricing is insane but I've never had an Uber that could beat a black cab.

And nuclear plants release 2 units of waste heat energy for every 1 unit of electrical energy they produce. A solar field, if its efficiency > the albedo of the ground on which it was built, causes net local cooling. In both cases the produced power is eventually degraded to heat (in the grid and at the consumer), but the overall burden for direct global thermal pollution is lower for solar than for nuclear. Note, of course, that direct thermal pollution is greatly overshadowed right now by forcing from increasing greenhouse gases.
