Actually most places I'm aware of count paper ballots. Germany, Sweden, Australia all use paper ballots as far as I'm aware (unless something changed recently) and in all of the countries results are typically in during the night of the election. And many of these countries have also significant option in their votes, I mean Australia's preferential system means you have a lot of choices (if not going with the party preferences).

I think one reason for the US system to be this complex is essentially corruption, i.e. funnelling money to the makers of voting machines. The other reason is that the US system highly encourages parties to try to get votes of the other party discounted based on technicalities.

It still boggles my mind that in the US, the first modern democracy the system developed to discourage voter participation

Is Cytoscape.js still the best free solution for DAGs with client-side events? I've also tried d3 with dagre but Cytoscape was a bit cleaner for me. But it's still enough of a struggle that I wonder if there's a newer alternative I'm missing.

Yeah if she feels symptoms she should probably use the app "Alltid Öppet" to book a test. She probably needs a personal number for this (which I assume she has if she's working as an aupair). I can try to help out if she needs it. My email is twn at thomasnyberg dot com.
Mojave has some of these. Except I don't like filesystem permissions, e.g. "access to photos" which is really "access to ~/Pictures". I'm fine with unix permissions on files and directories. I wish internet access was a permission instead.

As far as Sidecar goes, I don't own an iPad and don't plan to, so not relevant to me by any stretch of imagination.

Sure, but Common Lisp has its own packaging system. Suppose you want to ship macros with python, or any other language; that’s the challenge.

It may seem strange to say that you can have macros in other languages, but you can. The key is to compile lists of expressions into code, and then evaluate the resulting code. But the hard part is “then what?”

You are totally right that Linux is only a single digit percentage in user share if you look at all computers deployed world-wide.

However, in the developer sphere, GNU/Linux is way more represented. In the Stack Overflow 2020 survey, 26% of people said they were using a Linux based OS [0]. This number has been gradually increasing over the years so further growth is expectable. It's less than one percent less than the Mac OS share of 27%, but I'm not sure how much noise there is.

So Linux is usable enough for a growing community of developers, and many laptop/computer vendors targeting the developer market offer GNU/Linux as a preinstalled option.

As a result, at least for software people, Linux is a real privacy preserving alternative on the Desktop. HN is a software forum, and the blog post was also made with people educated about software as the recipients. So I think the post you are replying to should be understood not in a global context but in a context of the IT crowd.

Of course, it's not beautiful that Linux is less of an alternative to people who need to use complicated niche ISV software, but generally any industry can make the move if there is a subset of users pushing towards GNU/Linux.

The problem with both RIAA and Google takedown demands is never about the DMCA takedown in relation to copyright infringement, its the circumvention (it seems that EFF understand this very well, but most online commentors didn't get this, which was exarcabated by GitHub using the DMCA takedown repo). Now, no one knows if GitHub were also directly targeted by legal threats as an acessory to "enable" the distribution of circumvention tools, which RIAA and Google is arguing.

Also, what RIAA is trying to remove is the code that allows to get the music video files from YouTube, which is served differently to normal videos (not just the test units in question). This was conspicuously absent from all discussions I've read.
Thank you for pointing out errors in this data. Out of an abundance of caution, I have removed the link from my original post.
I think this is something we need to fix with education. We spent so long meeting the user that it developed an expectation. For any piece of technology its peak function is always reached when the human meets it half way and makes a concerted effort.

Whenever someone says “I don’t get computers” or gets angry at their smartphone they’re just leveraging that expectation and conning themselves out of a gain they could make. Same problem - laziness and expectation. At the end of that path is a life of a sharecropper and a cow to milk.
There's usually a million assumptions that are technically undefined behaviour but work, and immediately break if you try to cross-compile by just changing the target system in CMake or w/e.
These looks much better, and I like that you refer to them as designs and not logos.
That can't be done without hardware hacks, which can (often) be traced to isolated hardware which the manufacturers will then lock out or force a software upgrade for, making it impossible to use in the future. That's why most 4k pirate releases are re-encoded from HDMI, not lossless rips of the original stream as they are for 720p and 1080p.
Some people don't "choose to have children." They feel like fucking so they do, and children happen afterwards.

I wouldn't expect that to change after a nuclear war, especially in a world without contraceptives.

That aside, there really needs to be more understanding of the difference between species extinction and cultural extinction.

Humans could survive for hundreds of millennia in a devolved state. They wouldn't be particularly human by our standards, but they'd have the same DNA.

But our culture would be gone. All the accumulated knowledge would be wiped out, and it's very possible nothing like it would ever return.

DNA is fairly robust. Culture, knowledge, and rationality are extremely fragile. We're not doing an outstandingly job of preserving them even without a nuclear war, and I can't imagine a nuclear war would make the situation any better.
> And before "have you tried this *nix distro??" comments appear, they are still too hard to setup and nowhere near as user-friendly for most people on an everyday basis.

This isn't true. This perception continues to hurt the Linux community along with others. Use a properly supported -buntu distro and you are good.
If you're using IronPython then you're probably just trying to embed a familiar scripting language into something, not trying to adopt the Python ecosystem.

Besides, while you lose out on Python's native ecosystem you gain access to all of .net's.

Apple used lower screen brightness for showcasing M1's superior battery life
"MacBook Pro with Apple M1 chip: Testing conducted by Apple in October 2020 using pre-production 13-inch MacBook Pro systems with Apple M1 chip, 8GB of RAM and 512GB SSD. The wireless web test measures battery life by wirelessly browsing 25 popular websites with display brightness set to 8 clicks from the bottom. The Apple TV app movie playback test measures battery life by playing back 1080p HD content with display brightness set to 8 clicks from the bottom.

MacBook Pro with Intel Core processor: Testing conducted by Apple in April 2020 using pre-production 1.4GHz quad-core Intel Core i5–based 13-inch MacBook Pro systems with 8GB of RAM and 256GB SSD; and pre-production 2.0GHz quad-core Intel Core i5–based 13-inch MacBook Pro systems with 16GB of RAM and 1TB SSD. The wireless web test measures battery life by wirelessly browsing 25 popular websites with display brightness set to 12 clicks from the bottom or 75%. The Apple TV app movie playback test measures battery life by playing back 1080p HD content with display brightness set to 12 clicks from the bottom or 75%."

The screen brightness curves can of course be differently calibrated. But if Apple really wanted to show a fair comparison, they'd have just specified screen brightness in nits directly, instead of using this roundabout comparison.

Laptop screens can easily consume 3-7 Watts of power, which dwarfs the SOC power, and makes up for ~70-90% of the total system power draw for watching videos. So if the brightness settings were really different (in nits terms), this comparison is quite disingenuous on Apple's part.
I think it's a native C++ library but I agree with your sentiment
Initially I noticed this behaviour on my work laptop (where I've joined recently); where I was able to get the app working as soon as I used to switch my location to Home (non-VPN/Proxy). I though it has something to do with work configuration.

For past few days I'm also experiencing the similar behaviour on my personal laptop.

Do you want to be burdened with layers of backwards compatibility and end up like POSIX or Autoconf with provisions for things that once run on some long forgotten UNIX OS version?
In my experience, fractional scaling and 4k support is finally fine on at least whatever GNOME and Wayland Ubuntu 20.04 ships with, with two major caveats:

* Chromium-based applications (the browser and Electron apps like VS Code) still don't know how to render themselves with fractional scaling and end up ever so slightly blurry (but correct sized) on fractionally scaled displays. Think like very old applications (like Control Panel) on Windows 10. I use Firefox so it doesn't bother me that much. There's a issue in Chromium bug tracker following this, but I can't find it right now.

* Screen sharing full screen or other windows than browser tabs doesn't work on Google Meet / MS Teams. This is and has been an issue in Wayland since forever.

How does water access affect other power generation technologies?

Any thermal method will have the same constraint, though fossil-based methods are being phased out. Gas-turbine generators can simply discharge to the air, but high-efficiency dual-cycle generation includes a secondary steam phase, requiring cooling.

Solar thermal may utilise secondary cooling (though rarely, possibly never, does).

Solar and wind benefit by energy storage, for which pumped-hydro remains the best option.

Long-distance power transmission is exceptionally efficient. China's major population and industry are in its eastern provinces, power needed elsewhere can be transmitted with low (~6%) line and transformer losses, though with disruption risk from storms, natural disasters, or accidents.

"Reggionally limited" doesn't seem a huge ipediment.
If you are taking vitamin D supplementation, your physician will surely prescribe you periodic testing, at the very least if you ask for it. But since I have a private testing point just beside my office, I go there without doctor prescription; last time it cost me 17€ to get my vitamin D checked. This is in Italy.
So he’s calling for the president to murder a person and your defending his position by saying “obviously the president can’t have people murdered”.

Let’s say someone was calling for the gassing of Jews, would you also defend their position with a sentiment of: “ but that’s ok, because obviously a state can’t just start rounding up Jews and gassing them”?

Or perhaps his speech should be judged on his stated intent ?

I agree. My machine is a new modular one. You can have both with no compromises. It’s not even hard. And it works with open source operating systems! I doubt it will last 10 years though because it is modular. It will evolve.
So knowing this, how is it that HN remains so interested in the new "Apple silicon" or the latest "updates" to macOS. Why in God's name do people agree to participate in so-called "telemetry" and submit to whatever changes Apple wants to make in the OS, without question, in the form of "updates". Trying to control what programs users can run via "AppStores" and "developer certificates", and making them pay Apple for the "privilege" (what should be a "right").

If what the author says is true, I cannot see how anyone can take Apple's claims of "privacy as a human right" seriously. Purchasers have no right to privacy that can be asserted against Apple, who apparently needs to know how, when and where each customer is using the computer he/she bought. The company should be held to task for making such claims.

I still have an old Mac G4 with OS9. It is not connected to the internet. Safe to say no one at Apple cares how, when or where I am using it, and that's how it should be. It is astonishing how overzealous this company has gotten. As Nancy Reagan once said, "Just say No."
It’s true, but at the same time Apple are currently trying to win over the developer community. That much was clear over the M1 announcement where they focused on compile times and tensor flow as benchmarks.
I hate the fact that this needs to be an additional purchase and not part of the core OS. Windows and most Linux desktop environments are years ahead of macOS in terms of managing window placement. It doesn’t feel like macOS has advanced much in that department since it’s initial release in 2000 yet Windows has snapping, easier tiling, less glitchy multi monitor support....and this is coming from someone who hates using Windows!

I really wish Apple would give their core OS a little TLC. These days Apple feels more like 90s/00s Microsoft with the continuous chasing of shiny new things rather than fixing any of their existing tech.
If they give anything at all or require CLEAR's spyware, then I no longer go to any Ticketmaster venues. I can accept the abusive fees, but not something as horrendous as CLEAR.

Edit: actually you need to google it to get to the un-paywalled article.

“Most importantly, men who were highly physically active at age 50 were 32% less likely to die during the study than those who were least active; moderately active men enjoyed a smaller, but still respectable, 13% lower death rate than the least active gents.”

“But the long-term nature of the Swedish study allowed the scientists to follow men who were sedentary at age 50 but who increased their exercise level between ages 50 and 60. For the first five years, the major result was disappointment, since these men continued to die at the same high rate as men who remained inactive. But over the next five years, the benefit kicked in; by 10 years of follow-up, the men who adopted exercise in middle age enjoyed the same low mortality rate as men who began before age 50. All in all, men who adopted exercise after 50 had a 49% lower death rate than the men who remained inactive, a benefit even greater than the 40% risk reduction experienced by men who quit smoking after age 50. And the protective effect of exercise remained significant even after the scientists adjusted their results for the impact of smoking, drinking, obesity, diabetes, cholesterol, blood pressure, and socioeconomic status.”

“According to the Swedish study, men were classified as moderate exercisers if they simply took frequent walks or often went cycling for pleasure. And high-level exercise involved a minimum of just three hours of serious gardening or recreational sports a week. And in case you're tempted to cook up another excuse, you'll soon see that this important study does not stand alone.”

at least thanks to git a lot of people have a full local repo copies and can restore them online fast, maybe not in github, but anywhere else

btw, if would be nice if git would allow a salt be configured per repo for their hashes, and if needed to resalt whole repo; this would make commit bashed censor like github does impossible and expensive and unreliable if they need to hash all files

> Like C/C++, Terra is a statically-typed, compiled language with manual memory management. But unlike C/C++, it is designed from the beginning to be meta-programmed from Lua. The design of Terra comes from the realization that C/C++ is really composed of multiple “languages.” It has a core language of operators, control-flow, and functions calls, but surrounding this language is a meta-language composed of a mix of features such as the pre-processor, templating system, and struct definitions.

> In Terra, we just gave in to the trend of making the meta-language of C/C++ more powerful and replaced it with a real programming language, Lua. The combination of a low-level language meta-programmed by a high-level scripting language allows many behaviors that are not possible in other systems. Unlike C/C++, Terra code can be JIT-compiled and run interleaved with Lua evaluation, making it easy to write software libraries that depend on runtime code generation.

If you wanted to compare purely biological imperatives, then you'd only take data from cultures that treat women and men wearing makeup equally.

As such - men spend a lot on fashion and grooming, while the same can be said about women and cosmetics... but that's mostly about cultural customs.

PS: Only the latest iPhone has best camera. They traded places with Pixel, Samsung, etc... over the last few years.

PPS: Your stats are a little bit out of date... Let alone - the 2013 data contradicts your claim. Women are distributed between Android and iPhone equally in 2013. There would be a shift towards iPhone, if women wanted iPhone more.
Slightly related, but my daughter's junior high school offers a special course 'Maths for parents'. It's awesome since a lot of parents have forgotten even the most basic maths principles since they last sat in the school benches. Myself included, if you don't calculate the circumference of a circle on a daily basis you tend to forget how to do it, for instance...

One thing that stuck out to me is that there are so many great YouTube videos on virtually any subject. Back in the day you were stuck with your textbook and if you, like me, were stuck with a less than stellar teacher, a lot of things didn't stick. I have an identical twin brother, but we had different teachers and took different classes from middle school on. My brother was excelling at maths, I was faltering. My brother flunked french, it was my favorite subject. The only variable here is the teacher: my maths teacher was widely regarded as a boring, old and uninspiring man. My brother's maths teacher actually cared about you grasping the subject. Same way around with our french teachers.

I mean the article is a pretty good ad for the PR firm he used and the last sentence could be read as really wink-wink-nudge-nudge:

Well, since youtube-dl was the news, they have cited a German decision on the takedown request, which solely references German law. I don't know German enough to find this specific law, but I do know that by default copyright associations have a presumption to copyrights over certain media (like GEMA's case in music, which is used on YouTube around 2010, and Google was found guilty of that and therefore Google pays royalties to GEMA).

> Once all the countries get to close to net zero carbon, the discussion will turn to net zero historic carbon.

Once we start geo-engineering at the climates scale, different countries are going to be targeting an ideal carbon concentration for their country, not trying to be historically neutral.

I don't think historically neutral is going to be a positive thing for countries in or near the arctic circle. If we've gone far enough down the rabbit hole that currently cold parts of a country have warmed and become inhabited, it'd cause an exact reverse of the current problem of pushing people out of their homes because of warming/flooding.
I think it is very unrealistic to expect carbon capture technology to ever compete with growing trees.
I understand why this is the way it is (cost-savings), but this needs to change. It has been shown that preventative screening can be very cost effective as opposed to reactive treatment.
