The politicians pushing the GND do not care about climate change.

We need a clean bill that only reduces or outright zeros net carbon output, including carbon generated from imports and exports.

It's no good if we just export pollution somewhere else.

The Green New Deal is not that bill.

It is packed with a massive pile of changes to healthcare, finance, and labor laws which are totally unrelated to addressing carbon emissions. Not to mention the call for Venezuela-style nationalization.

That's a non-starter, and rightly so.

If you can't put aside power-grabs and partisan politics to tackle climate change, then you clearly do not care about fixing climate change.

If the GND passes, the important-to-humans part (carbon) will go to the back of the political bus, and the important-to-the-oligarchs part (more power! more money!) will be put in the drivers' seat.
I think for one, it does not have references to specific videos in the documentation.
yeah, that's what I thought. it's certainly the achilles heel of this technique.
No offense taken. It was a post showing what happened on both when a cut was too deep(which she does quite often, on accident) - bottom left on left image, center on right. Curious what you mean by weird...the design? She usually just messes with design. The white top is just flour for the soul purpose of design.

Im constantly learning something new that has zero returns on investment but the difference is that these things are for my own pleasure. I learn music theory without a particular goal. I paint without a particular goal. I play guitar and keyboard without any goal, I don’t see myself
as ever becoming a professional musician. But I do enjoy the journey.
What i was refering to is learning shiny tech that lasts for 2 cycles of 2 years then goes dusty. Most times it is convoluted and quirky, unintuitive, filled with jargon and the knowledge doesn’t translate well in other areas.
For example I put a month or two of effort to learn Angular 6 or 7 and then did a 4 month project with it. It was fun and enjoyed it but my company decided not to go with Angular anymore. In this sense I don’t regret it but the investment wasn’t really worth it and i’d rather spent the time deepening some other skillset that I could put to use. In my company everybody jumped on the blazor bandwagon. I don’t have a good feeling about it and have 0 motivation to learn it.
> and thus anyone on whom this violence is expected to be applied deserves a vote.

Or people who might be expected to get sent away to inflict violence and suffer the consequent dangers of doing so.

Heinlein was all sorts of fucked up, but his repeated idea of ex serving military being more equipped to vote for the people who get to choose to deploy the military certainly has some merit.
No. Mesa's "drivers" are either a software fallback or support infrastructure for some open-source drivers.

When you're using AMD or Nvidia's proprietary drivers, which are way faster, then you're not using anything interesting from Mesa.

EDIT: Also Mesa's open source Radeon driver came from AMD.
But no feature tests IIRC
It's a total sideshow, and it's not that big of a deal. I'm not trying to take Krebs down a peg; I'm a fan. If he's an advisor to a company, he should disclose that relationship --- like any other relationship! --- in his stories. That he's not paid doesn't change much; personal relationships are also disclosable. I mentioned the payment thing only because the optics probably weren't the optics Krebs wanted, not because I dispute what he's saying.
The basic issue was that the coroutine package was segfaulty and maintained by a man so lovely to interact with that the node.js core team eventually invented libuv (to replace his ev library) primarily so they never had to talk to him again.

Perl now has http://p3rl.org/Future::AsyncAwait which is (like any async/await system) a bit more restricted than a full coroutine but works beautifully.

If you threw a github repo up somewhere I can think of a few people who might be interested in trying to update it to more recent+reliable perl tech.
Does this repo fixed the issue with the unit test downloading a copyright video?
Bitcoin is not as traceable as a swift payment. You don't have to register your name and address and social security number to transfer bitcoin.

You may be able to trace the addresses that bitcoin is connected to, but you will at some point have to do additional work to investigate ip addresses and hope that they don't all lead to anonymous VPNs ran through a coffee shop wifi before the bitcoin is passed on to someone else.

2 MB should not be an issue nowadays. Considering 5G roll out & substantial coverage in most mature markets, in say, 2 - 3 years, 2 MB is acceptable.
I checked out the demo, but it currently looks very pre-alpha, I could only see one recording before the browser crashed and for other recordings the page was just blank.

It's nice that they offer such a tool for free, but I think the privacy implication is huge if websites are giving all this centralized user data to Microsoft. I imagine their goal is to run some AI/ML on top of the collected data, not sure for what final purpose though.

I am sorry to say this, but Hacker News became another reddit?! For past 1 week, I see similar topic being discussed every day on front page. I agree with the community empathy, but its becoming something else now.
I bellyflopped over to a completely different section of IT needs and I am middle-aged. Partly, I think I was motivated (or anti-motivated) because I did not want to go through another round of what I call "disposable learning" at my last job, wherein I would learn something completely ephemeral and not carry any of it forward five years later.

In retrospect, I believe my then-boss was practicing on some scheduling platforms that would appear in his next job. We had one ticketing/scheduling/org conglomerate, and then the whole organization was scheduled to hit something else in nine months, but he wanted to try out this thing in the meantime, even though we would get four months with it. Also more frameworky business. Just churn churn churn.
> If you rely on your package manager, you are basically stuck with whatever was in the previous LTS of ubuntu when it was shipped.

This is not exactly true. You are free to put together your company's PPA, and just package your stuff as you see fit. You know, use the system's package manager to serve your and your user's interests.

> If you want the newest library, then you are either dependent on some external proper packager, or you have to get into packaging yourself. I don't consider picking a random external source something I would do in a professional context.

If you're in a "professional context" then you're already in the business of packaging and distributing software packages.
I would describe it as more of a "tail end" case, a small percentage of use cases, but a long list of users.
It doesn't seem like there's any major difference so it's interesting that latency is perceived as being a reason not to use blazor server in production but not as such with liveview.
So JupyterCon has been taken over by a bunch of Social Justice Warriors who seem to care less about content than about enforcing their standard for behavior.

Try watching videos in VLC media player on Xorg vs Wayland, you'll see the difference.

The former is nearly unwatchable if the scene has lots of darkness punctuated by light, such as a fire.
you're probably right
I think grin would like word with you.
If you are using Blazor Server, you don't have to even think about REST APIs. Depending on your app, that might be good or bad. But if you primarily target browsers on Desktop, you can tremendously improve productivity, because you can directly use C# POCO Models for UI and backend data services.
Ran some benchmarking with cmake+ninja vs these bazel BUILD files on a soyoustart GAME-2. Build from scratch...

- cmake: ~2900 files @ 28:21.07 total (https://snapshot.raintank.io/dashboard/snapshot/ijkptI1dlteB...)

- bazel: ~5k targets @ 23:55.13 total (https://snapshot.raintank.io/dashboard/snapshot/TbOP6L814R3q...)

If anyone can recommend a file to modify I'd also be happy to test out incremental build times. Anyway, super glad to see google externalizing some of this stuff! I also have the metrics from this prometheus instance saved so if anyone wants to see any other metrics from node_exporter let me know!

fwiw bazel "felt" slower because the number of targets is an estimate and that kept going up while cmake was constant progress to "finish". I'd love to see how the bazel time looks with remote build execution enabled to see how much faster that goes.
There are many articles about MCMC in Python. I am surprised Tweag didn't write the same but for Haskell.
On the spectrum of client-server rendering, I am leaning very far into the server-side philosophy.

Right now, we use Blazor with server-side rendering for our internal dashboards. This feels almost perfect to me. There are still some rough edges and I still have to ultimately deal in terms of HTML/JS/CSS.

I've got a side project that takes the Blazor server-side concept to the absolute extreme. But, I haven't had much time to work on it this year considering... Hoping to get back into the crusade in early 2021. Looking to pilot it as a replacement for one of our Blazor server-side apps in 2H 2021. One of the bigger objectives is to develop a web application that is perfectly auditable and secure as possible. If you render final client views on the server, you can DVR precisely what each client is experiencing. The client source can be ridiculously lightweight and betrays nothing regarding the business. My prototype currently serves a ~50kb single-file HTML payload that runs the entire show for each client. I am looking at things as deep as server-side rendering of the mouse cursor. Looking at each client as a simple event stream from the server's perspective is a really neat way to organize this problem.
Can drivers be signed by any CA trusted by the system or does it have to be the Microsoft CA? Shitty solution but if you're installing someone's (otherwise unsigned) driver, you're already placing a lot of trust in them.
Can I put a replacement camera into your phone that transmits a spy signal feed continuously without you realizing it?

Before this change: Yes, without any barriers or chance of detection.

After this change: Not easily, and the hardware and OS are looking out for that attack.

This seems like a targeted defense against blackmailers and state-sponsored attackers. I’m glad to see it.
Well done, sir. Well done.
How did they measure that Covid-19 causes a drop of 8.5 IQ points if their IQ wasn't measured before they got sick?
This is a perverse level of precision to insist on. Yes, people cannot hope to have 100% certainty that no gods exist. No, that should not be the threshold, unless you would call yourself agnostic on whether leprechauns exist. And nobody (except a few people more interested in proving a point than in discussing how people actually talk) does that.
it smokes Spring in benchmarks, often by a factor of 10x or more, and on plaintext it's 50x faster than spring and even with the fastest Rust/C++ frameworks, so must be some awfully light baggage
At least the way our installation works we don't push to changes/nnnn/12, rather changes are pushed to refs/for/{branch} (often refs/for/master). This endpoint isn't an actual branch. It triggers gerrit to look up the nnnn for the Change-Id in the commit message and create the appropriate branch for the next patch set.
AIUI this was never the case; it was in a unit test.
Note that The Golden Age is book 1 of "The Golden Oecumene" trilogy [0].

The audience for Blazor Server is probably an order of magnitude larger than the audience for LiveView, and it's mostly not the Hacker News crowd that needs to be won over, but the large enterprise with half a million lines of Web Forms that has grown into an unmaintainable behemoth.
I never said lockdowns would eradicate the pandemic, nor do I solely blame the populace. I actually think governments are the problem and we should have way more incisive responses, both economical and social, from our governments.

My entire point is that with the extremely large case numbers in Europe and the US (and to some degree the lack of adherence to guidelines) there isn’t, in my view, an obvious alternative to lockdowns as a means to slow the spread and reduce harm.
> This feels almost perfect to me

This. This is the sentence I am going to use to describe Blazor Server from now on.
I think gmail is a bit of a parody of itself nowadays. For extra hilarity someday, try pressing "c" for compose as the site is loading. Literally seconds to get a compose window showing.
Super cool. How long did this take to make?

I kind of wonder if there is some nice analogy to be made here wrt. Kelly Betting vs Bayesian RL. As in, some version of maximising log reward will have higher median performance than Bayesian RL even though on average Bayesian RL is better. By analogy, the discprepancy should come from Bayesian RL doing vastly better in some unlikely string of world trajectories.
This compassionate comment and its parent mean a lot to me as someone who struggles with regulating emotion. I just wanted to point out that it’s some of us on HN too, and it’s not always the ones you might expect. I have a job, friends, and supportive family. But a swirl of feelings can overwhelm me without warning, and the memory of all the times I’ve failed to reach help before can stop me from trying again. I was hospitalized this year with suicidal thoughts and a diagnosis of “Major Depressive Disorder with Psychotic Features.” I expect to continue succeeding on the outside, but the internal battle is far from over. Again, I want to stress that most people can’t even fathom that anything is wrong with me. I have a good job, talents, people who care about me. But there’s some defect in my makeup (nature or nurture, who knows?) and your willingness here to be more aware of people like me is really heartening.

Note for the concerned: I am receiving treatment and a number of people in my circle are aware of the struggle, so this isn’t a cry for help. I just thought this might enrich the discussion for anyone not familiar with these things who would like to understand them better.
> If Google won't eat their own dogfood, it doesn't inspire much confidence.

Chromium's gn started being prototyped in 2013 [1].

Android's soong started being developed in June 2015 [2].

Bazel's first open source release was in September 2015 [3].

In addition, you surely can't be serious about Google not 'dogfooding Blaze' - it's a critical build system internally at Google. And new external projects (like gVisor) are also now built using Bazel.

> But the success of TurboTax rests on a shaky foundation, one that could collapse overnight if the U.S. government did what most wealthy countries did long ago and made tax filing simple and free for most citizens.

If the system is vulnerable to exploitation, that’s not the fault of Intuit. They’re fixing inefficiencies in the market, and adding upsells (common for many companies in tech), is part of their business model.

I don’t get the hate of TurboTax if you’ve actually used it, since it’s incredibly simple and saves time and money (from my experience).

Don’t hate the player.
Some of the drawbacks I have noticed with flutter:

1. One of the biggest problems with flutter is the IDE integration for the design aspects. In my opinion, the development experience is much worse than Xamarin, .NET/Mono, Delphi, Lazarus etc.

2. The documentation is not very good and can be quite out of date.

3. The components are mostly all UI/layout related. There aren't good components for DB integration etc.

4. I have noticed is that between version upgrades of flutter, there can be multiple problems - but this is not surprising that flutter is still quite new.
A family I know here in Washington are legendary woodsman. They've worked in the woods for at least 3 generations that I know of. There is a story (quite true, not a legend- people who were there attest to it) that when the elder woodsman had an accident and sliced his forearm open (a clean slice, not sure how it happened) he went to his truck, cleaned it, and stitched it up with fishing line.

And went back to work.

They have some gimped capabilities(I don't think FP32 as that's needed for games) but as I said you don't need any of those features for most 3D rendering tools so it's not worth worrying about the driver, you can see the 3090 wipe the floor with the Titan RTX in rendering workloads here https://techgage.com/article/nvidia-geforce-rtx-3090-proviz-...

"it has half <category> performance" doesn't immediately make it worth 4x the money on an uncapped card, especially if your task doesn't involve a capped feature.
This isn't about empathy. These are our fundamental rights of free speech and distribution of free software.

These are the rights that Richard Stallman warned us would be taken from us.

And look what's happened - nearly every video distribution channel is now locked, DRMed, and inaccessible. We now license everything we consume, and it can easily be taken away from us. (Google Play Music, the Stadia precursors, other media.)

We're not the majority on the Internet anymore, but we hold the power to change things.

Please care more. They'll be coming for something you love next.
That's probably a meaningless statement. The weak force probably doesn't have much to do with it.

- How is it with tracking conversations on Diffs?

- Any particular plugins or bots for it that help make the difference?

reference wrapper breaks in generic contexts.
Cantor's diagonalization argument shows that uncountable sets exist, and they are different from countable sets. That was sufficiently counterintuitive that some mathematicians rejected it at first, until they warmed to the idea.

Your circular dependencies are metacircular rather than circular. That corresponds to circular if you can prove that truths in the system and its metasystem are equivalent, but that's often not so easy to show rigourously. (In other words, so you can be really really sure you haven't missed a subtle loophole). It's tempting to assume they are equivalent by intuition, but that assumption isn't correct for all logic systems.

Like many good theorems, the core idea is simple once explained.

Gõdel's incompleteness theorem required the axioms and logical deduction rules of the arithmetical logic used at the time to be encoded using that very same arithmetic, and to prove that's possible, that it works, and it's consistent. That takes some rigour. Until it was done, it wasn't obvious you could definitely prove that it works, because system-metasystem relationships often have some subtle twist.

My favourite example of a subtle twist like that is Skolem's Paradox. Which relates back to diagonalization, and shows that maybe countability and uncountability aren't so simple after all.
Yep. Count it with Betamax, zune, minidisc, HD-DVD, Zip drives as tech I took the wrong bet on.

Another fun thing you can do is to do another clone of the llvm-bazel repo, build that using Bazel again. Things should've cached correctly and the rebuild from a totally different checkout should be pretty much instant, as long as your ~/.cache/bazel is still there.
Probably my fault. For the first hour or so, this is what my top comment to the original HN post claimed. Fortunately I caught it before the edit window closed, but I imagine it was seen by a lot of people by that point. I suspect the RIAA intended on being misleading about exactly how prominently the references existed to push the argument that it was part of the “marketing.” They reference the README a couple paragraphs up, but then become very vague about the references to copyrighted material.

None of us are "real". We are all living in a simulation.
Most of the essays currently are indeed blog posts from the last few years. For now I'm planning to rely on user submissions for the catalog--if you have some favorite classic/non-tech essays, you could submit them (there's a URL input box after you sign in).

Before today there were about 60 submitted essays; we're up to 117 now. So the recommendations going forward probably won't be dominated by my own submissions, but they will likely still be tech-focused, given the (initial) HN/programmer user base. Eventually (after we have enough users/submissions/click data), Findka should adapt to your preferences quickly. i.e. even if most of the catalog is tech-focused, the algorithm will look at what essays you've submitted and select recommendations from the appropriate niches. But at this early stage, the recommendations will be sampled more-or-less uniformly from the entire catalog.
They could certainly take copywriting and proofing jobs.
