That's the million dollar question. There are reasons to subsidize overproduction of food and plant-based biofuels (ethanol) -- food riots are bad. So the current system makes sense even if I don't agree with it 100%. I anticipate we will see governments study/adapt these subsidy markets for more eco-friendly practices (for the purpose of carbon sequestration and/or ground water protection).
Arguing strictly from a language design PoV, and having used before/after myself, if markup is for content/structure, and CSS is for presentation, then it's just idiosyncratic af to generate content from CSS rules. Obviously, the purpose of before/after is to produce a visual effect; then why produce pseudo-content if CSS is oh-so-great a language for presentation? But IMO that's par for the course for CSS which starts out by migrating rendering properties that used to be HTML attributes into their own syntactic category that's neither here nor there, then postulates a structure/presentation dichotomy after the fact. When actually markup attributes are intended exactly for the purpose of holding rendering properties rather than some elusive "structural semantics" bs. Going from there, it feels like CSS heads got lost in their maze of separation of concerns story, which in any case has never needed new syntax, let alone a thousand micro syntaxes.
Well, you put that in the will. Or a safe deposit box, like we all should do with our master keys for our password managers. Mine has been in my backpack for 2 years. At least it's in an envelope. :-D

Yeah, these stores should really have a mode where you opt-out from their advertising and billing services. Instead they should just issue the developer an invoice for bandwidth / store costs and not try to leech on their earnings.

> there are quite a few farmers who would love to stop paying for fertilizer if it didn't impact their yields:

I think you are over simplifying here. Of course simply stopping artificial fertiliser will hit yields. The question is whether other methods can be introduced that will sustain yields with fewer detrimental environmental impacts.
It doesn't matter if we use fiat, non-fiat, dollars, bitcoin, gold, or seashells for money. It's still a trust-based asset. We have to believe that other people will take it in exchange for goods or services. If that trust ends, whatever we use for money is worthless. Money is a collective idea, nothing more.
Facebook will "memorialize" your account and hand moderation over to someone you designate.

The paper in this post doesn't use neural networks at all. It also includes the time to train the model in the sorting time, which the paper you linked doesn't. NN-sort trains on historic data to sort future data, which requires the distribution to be roughly the same, whearas this algorithm learns online.
You've just identified why a system that's more automatic is risky to naively trust.

Here's my prediction: the AI is going to see a lot of jobs that progress linearly to completion and then stop dead at 90%. That having been said, it'll still be useful if metrics can be sampled out to guesstimate how much padding is needed to account for the 90% dead-stop time.
that's literally what rainforests do, after all.
I want to see a documentary that is basically what Icarus was going to be before it turned into being about international politics: doping by “weekend warriors” in amateur sports.

There is a lot of paranoia in the running community (for example) that even local municipal marathons are being won by amateurs doping (not to mention some people running with those Nike “Vaporfly” shoes with the carbon fiber plate in them.) I have my doubts about how effective it is at the amateur level. I suspect it’s like amateurs buying expensive golf clubs and golf balls hoping it will make them better when really they just need more practice and are skill limited rather than gear limited.
The article mentions the woman having a password "she's forgotten". That seems like an important point.

The issue of data and inheritance is a mess though. My father passed away suddenly and unexpectedly a month ago, and I basically had to hack into his electronic devices so I could get his writings out (he was a writer) for my older brother to have as memories - and in the process, even though I tried to respect his privacy as much as possible, I could have seen things he might not have wanted me to.

We don't even have photography albums or home videos like we used to, it's all behind passwords and biometric security now.

I appreciate your opinion. And maybe there is some truth to your statement.

But in the professional context, none of that really matters IMO. If someone in your team is offended (and yes, it might seem stupid to you), then the dynamic of the team is thrown off. And ultimately, productivity suffers. That's how I'm thinking about it these days.
Hey! Super glad to be featured on Hacker News! Olivier here, one of the founders of blokdots. Let me know if you have some questions.
An excellently written article. I think they really hit the nail on the head here about how censorship backfires. Seeing someone lay the blame on our news organizations instead of some "Russian conspiracy theory" is catharsis.

Regrettably, I think the lesson learned here won't be that censorship backfires. I think the lesson will be, "do it better next time".

You see, the story still needs to disappear. But instead of making the story disappear in a very public manner, just shadowban it. Throw a few fake likes and retweets on the post to comfort the user, but display it to no one. And if anyone asks, deny everything.

This technique is magnificent. The Streisand Effect can't happen if the request to remove the material isn't made public, and the users are duped into believing the material is still there.
Isn't the viability of herbicides just a function of regional labour costs? I ask because I know some permaculture farmers who do these super dense crops with symbiotic plants, and it only works because they're out there working it.
It's all machined, no manual labor. Instead of sparying you would roll the pasture with already existing farming machinery. They use the same no till sower as other no-till methods.
There is truth in this statement. Land owners want the highest ROI for their investment (land). Farmers, who have a huge safety net from subsidies, have no problem propping up rent prices to grow corn/soy (and mine the soil).

There needs to be economic incentives for farmers AND landowners to adapt these practices. It WILL cost money. See a link to my blog I posted in a different post. I talk about this in semi-depth.

A site I worked in more than a decade ago now had all the HTML generated by applying XSLT to the API output.

An argument determined if you wanted the page as XML, html or RSS. If you opted for XML, and your browser supported XSL, the XSL would be applied client-side. We still applied the XSL server-side by default to avoid having to deal with compatibility issues for the XSL, but it worked perfectly in most browsers and was great for testing.

XSLT was/is a massive pain, though.
I remember when the big all hands meetings started to start with ,,hey team''. It was strange and unnatural to me.

For me a team is a group of about 5 people working together to achieve a clear goal, going to lunch together almost every day, having coffee together, while talking about solving deep technical issues. It doesn't scale to more than 8 people, because I'm just not able to understand deeply what more than 8 people are doing, and follow their code base.

It was the same time when all hands meetings got political and uninteresting, skipping all the technical details on announcements that made them interesting (and that made cross-team collaboration possible), and I just stopped going to these meetings, because they started to be just a waste of my time.

Cheap and unsafe cars are also made of steel. Steel is a cheap material and there are many different types of it, of varying strengths.

A car being made entirely out of a strong material does not necessarily make it safe, either. Modern vehicles with good safety ratings are made out of many different types of material of various strengths in different locations. https://www.media.volvocars.com/global/en-gb/media/photos/34...

Let's take hormones. Once upon a time there is an athlete who has naturally high level of certain hormone. Research is conducted and the anti-doping agency moves up the level of how much the hormone is legal to have in the blood.

Now all competitors will take additional hormones to reach, but not cross said level. As long as this works, they think of themselves as not doping and levelling the playing field. But they are taking hormones.

No. F that. Consumers aren't paying externalities for transportation costs (think airlines and cars). Why should agriculture be the bad guy? Start with transportation and then come after ag.

I find that the most elegant way to understand exponential-related things is by defining the exponential as the function satisfying f'=f (with suitable normalization). In other words, it is the "eigenfunction" of the derivative, which is a linear operator. This is a very natural thing to ask when studying derivatives, ODEs, etc.

With this definition, you can define the constants e and pi in a natural way. In particular, 2 * pi * i is the period of e^x. It then makes sense to analyse the function e^ix, with period 2*pi, and separate its real and imaginary parts. These are sure to be periodic real functions, and we can name them cos(x) and sin(x).

This Quora answer talks about this approach pretty well [1].

You measure other people only by your own means.

For example I don't care about any furniture my parents had, it was ugly and it sucked. Not going into "fine china" or whatever crap my mother used to hoard.

When I move between flats, I might reuse some furniture but a lot of it I would have to sell. I would lose loads of money if I would buy expensive furniture and then sell it for 70% of what I paid for, I don't even think I could get that much for used furniture, probably 50% would be more realistic.

Cheap IKEA I can basically give away and not have to haggle for price with cheapskates over the phone (mental health toll for me is too high if I have to sell something). If it is broken I can dump it and since it is cardboard it probably will not be that bad for environment.

If someone is having steady life conditions for next 20 years then he can afford "life time" items. With current situation I would not count on that and I'd rather have stuff that I can easily dispose/give away in case I have to move to smaller apartment because I cannot afford current one anymore.

Owning things also has its costs, like if I am renting flat and have shitty neighbors I can just move to other place. When I would own a flat I am stuck with whatever comes my way.

If you think inclusive language is an attempt to shame people, then YOU might have to look deep at yourself.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think the point of inclusive language is so that people who identify as female or non-binary have less reason to be offended, and can generally feel more safe in an environment because less trigger words are used.

edit: I would also appreciate that the people downvoting me would comment as to why they think my post does not contribute to the discussion in a respectful manner?

But compare that to trying to say whether that system is "Democrat" or "Republican". Either party could advocate for that policy, or the inverse policy, and they could change their stance at any time.
This is the "meat" that I found the most relevant:

"When Noble contacted Apple in early 2017, she was told all she needed to do was prove she has the legal right to her husband's estate. She sent all the documents the company asked for, including his death certificate and the will designating her as executor.

"They called me back and said, no, that's not good enough — you have to have a court order [but] having to pay to put in a court order is a huge deal," she said.

Court orders can cost from about $2,000 to tens of thousands of dollars — depending on whether they're opposed."

Indeed, and one of the most common uses of doping is not make you stronger or perform better per se. but to let your body recover quicker so you can train longer and harder with shorter recovery time between training sessions.

I agreed with this take until 2020 and subsequent shutdowns of varying levels occurred in my U.S. state (Oregon) due to Covid-19. There are several eateries in my city utilizing them to great effect for menus and ordering as they have pivoted to outdoor and no-touch dining. And now that I have finally embraced them on this level, I notice and use them more: flyers around town, links to video tutorials on products I have purchased, local printed media, etc.
Hah, I had a similar conversation with a taxi driver in Bolivia. What is most important for road safety, IMO is predictability. Everyone sharing a common expectation of what will happen next. The crazy-chaotic driving in a lot of countries actually has a lot of patterns which emerge at the level that you experience from the driving seat. And a lot of accidents, sure, but fewer than someone used to highly regulated driving would expect.

And fewer than they would probably cause themselves if transplanted directly in to the other system because of their mismatched expectations!

Hey Oliver, looks interesting! Any reason it's not available as a web app? It looks like it's HTML/JS anyway? At least going off your alpha code on github.

My wife said to me yesterday "How do I use a QR Code?". Keep in mind, she's a civil engineer and one of the smartest people I know.

I said "In what context?" because really, I didn't know either. "I have to scan this QR code if I go to my office. It's apparently posted at the door, and will let them know I've been there, for contact tracing."

After a lot of playing around, we finally found out her phone's camera could automatically read QR codes. When we did, the QR code in question was a URL to a website with a form, requiring her to enter all her information.

Not a fan of QR codes.
The primary reason that the company I work for chose the Atlassian Confluence server licence was for LDAP integration with Active Directory. Yes, Atlassian supports SSO, but it requires Atlassian Access which costs $3/user/month. Further SSO with Access requires user management to be done within Access which is not the source of truth for this company as that privilege belongs to AD. Users are assigned to groups in AD, and group membership determines the access to Confluence sites, etc. Unless the cloud offering can provide similar functionality the server licence will die here, and be replaced by a product that can deliver these features.
When you have a sitting job, the chance of developing a stenose in your L1-L5 vertebrae when getting older is very large.
You need to get off your chair at least once an hour walking around a bit, also you need to do low impact sports like walking the park or something like that.
For acute back problems you need at least do mobilizing exercises for the lower back and if a vertebrae stays stuck you can opt for a chiropractor to force it to go lose.
Most back problems that cause back pains are stuck vertebrae that make muscles working hard to compensate.
So deal with your issues and don't wait or rest, that makes it much worse.
My experience in acute situations is that mobilizing exercises can take 3-4 weeks to make the pains go completely, after a few days however they already get rid of the worst pains like nerve pains from stuck nerves between vertebrae.
After that period I personally start mobilizing exercises immediately when I feel the slightest back pains and then it helps within a few days and keep the pain levels low, so keep exercising. Since doing these exercises, my need for painkillers for back pains went away.
I wouldn't classify it as that but they had had trouble in the past which lead to a lot of their team leaving, and were now looking to recover from it.

Yes it is possible to make those changes and even if it wasn't it does not detract from the impressive and useful innovations Julia has made. That is why I usually refer to them as cosmetic but that is possibly not the correct word either because it does not convey the implications of having that default beyond simply being unattractive. Cultural may be the correct term.

Julia claims that it wants to solve the two language problem. To do that it must win both the scientific compute, HPC, data science, machine learning, etc. group and the CS, software engineering, dev ops group. I've shown Julia to quite a few members of the latter and they always love the idea and technical capabilities of Julia but visibly cringe when they find out it uses one based indexing. They also almost universally find the syntax ugly.

Unfortunately the available packages to change that also does not help because most people will never change the defaults and IMHO it would be bad to do so. When writing Python you follow the PEP-8 style guide, it is just best practice to follow the languages conventions so everyone is on the same page. This is the same problem with C++ trying to add all these new features and a solid package manager like Rust has, it will never fly, people just won't use it everywhere, it isn't going to be in the standard library, It isn't the default and it isn't part of the culture.
Versioning schematics and manuals is actually a great place for version control in manufacturing.

One of my first projects out of school was a web app where our engineers could document the assembly steps for a given sub-assenbly, then string those sub-assemblies together into a manual for a specific product. The sub-assembly instructions would be revision controlled, and products would be revision controlled. The model was conceptually similar to git submodules.
