I really like this. I keep bouncing between text-based todo lists and more visual/kanban tools, so this feels like the best of both worlds. (If I could stand the airtable/notion database view those tools would be great, but alas.)

One thing that's preventing me from dumping in a bunch of action items is that I can't figure out a way of creating tasks via the keyboard. Is this possible?
He's arguing that you only need CI after a lot of other things already went wrong.

If your code is portable, clean, readable, easily maintainable and contains tests, the benefits from CI over running the build locally are negligible. So CI distracts from fixing the issues that people face when building locally.
That’s captured by (1) risk sharing. Pooled risk sharing is great for things like fire departments where out of 1000 homes, one might catch fire every few months. It’s also great for societies where out of 1000 people, a small handful suffer from chronic illnesses or tragic accidents and the remaining are healthy. The problem is that it’s just a hammer, and not everything in healthcare is a nail.

Very odd that the article fails to compare the volume of "change-of-address" requests to pre-pandemic periods.

It simply states that they received "more than 140,000 change-of-address requests during the pandemic period".

Without any comparison points, this is pretty meaningless?

Maybe instead of hard-coding these preferences in the search engine, or having it try to guess for you based on your search history, you can opt-in to download and apply such lists of ranking modifiers to your user profile. Those lists would be maintained by 3rd parties and users, just like eg. adblock blacklists and whitelists. For example, Python devs might maintain a list of search terms and associated urls that get boosted, including stack exchange and their own docs. "Learn python" tutorials would recommend you set up your search preferences for efficient python work, just like they recommend you set up the rest of your workflow. Japanese python devs might have their own list that boosts the official python docs and also whatever the popular local equivalent of stackexchange is in Japan, which gets recommended by the Japanese tutorials. People really into 3D printing can compile their own list for 3D printing hobbyists. You can apply and remove any number of these to your profile at a time.

A super important component is that with these extremists, I can tell them exactly what I think and believe, and they will contradict me to my face and say no, that is not true, you believe x y z. And the criteria for the claim is simply that I'm not in wholehearted agreement with them. The degree doesn't matter, the ideology demands absolutely submission.

It is a mass delusion to say a substantial portion of the population is unable to self report their own beliefs - to say that your group knows better what millions of outsiders to the group think

I think the attacks on an honest intellectual interested in the truth not the answer an ideology demands, specifically the attempt to cancel Steven Pinker is an ideal example of this
I see this idea get floated around a few times, and I actually think it makes sense for being macro-environmentally friendly. While there's environmental destruction of this area, it's the size of half of SF proper. The possibility is that a megopolis can be erected on top of it, with the density and height of downtown SF. This would be a clean slate to house 5m+ people, a new New York, and completely unwind the supply-side issues of housing in the US, effectively lowering house prices and rent across the entire country.
Back to the net-effect on the environment; while the local wildlife would suffer, the benefits of reduced emissions and sprawl elsewhere on the globe would be immense. Imagine the de-carbonization that would occur elsewhere with plentiful, dense, and cheap housing and jobs in this area.
It should be shut down for the benefit of mankind.
I agree with most of the comments here as a semi-new father, so I won't rehash then, but I really wish more people could experience the emotions and struggles of parenthood sooner, I think it makes a person realize what's important in life and causes one to mature quickly. I think people would be nicer to one another if they could be a parent for a year, at least.
In the case of the US, the "free market" have utterly failed us with regards to healthcare.

Everyone hears this sentiment. But I can't think of a community that "got better" when its best earners left. It's just such backwards thinking.
This feature should be implemented into hackernews. When users really disagree with someone, they tend to pull up their post history and downvote them on multiple comments to multiply the damage. I would like to have no visible history.

More precisely, the majority of the US Senate (republican) opposes another large COVID bill. In contrast, the majority of the US House (democrat) has proposed new bills at between $2-3 trillion.

The GOP is currently under control of the current President. Until he leaves, they will not act independently. After January 20 (and after the Georgia Senator runoffs are over), republicans will fear Trump's wrath less. But will that be enough to shift those politicians' sentiment? Only the impact of enough lives lost to COVID in the next two months will tell.
> we can check other elements as potential reversible fuels

In theory, you want an abundant substance which takes up oxygen, produces solid waste, which is easy to clean up, raw material which is stable in outdoor conditions (if spilled) and non-toxic to your skin in either form.

I read through the literature after seeing a NewAtlas article a couple of weeks ago [1] & [2].

> Nitrogen? Sulfur?

Gases are harder to take to recycling.

> Sodium?

Can't touch it without gloves or sneeze around it (the problem is H2 gas, not the sodium itself).

There was a memorable sodium leak in a Kalpakkam nuclear power plant in India that I remember, where the issue was the H2 from the sodium + water lines breaking.

> Aluminum?

Aluminium would be easier to mine out of the ground than Fe, but Al02 to Al is a harder conversion to do already in terms of energy efficiency.

And as someone who's burned through a crucible and the floor with Thermite & spent time cleaning it up, the real value of iron oxide is that it doesn't get "harder by burning" (AlO2 is HARD) & produces a fragile and flaky waste product which is easy to clean off the equipment.

> You may want to consider that not everyone who disagrees with you politically is a racist.

I don't think they said that. Since I'm white and have witnessed racist shit growing up (and honestly, I'm a pretty unobservant guy), I'm guessing it does happen and it also happens more in rural areas and the South.
South Australia already has days when solar alone is providing most of it's power [1] [2]. It's not that hard. You scale up renewables, and build curtailing (throwing away excess clean energy) into your cost model (until storage gets cheaper, which it will; Tesla is shipping almost 800 MW of utility scale battery storage per quarter). Australia's entirely grid will be clean by 2030 at their current rate of renewables deployment. Yes, yes, not everywhere is Australia, but the sun and wind potential is significant in most geographies where people exist. Let us not use edge cases to guide our path forward.

It's the normal capacity ICUs that are full (they use some weasel word, "pretty much full" or some such). Since the pandemic started, hospitals added more capacity. This additional capacity, together with cancellation of procedures that can't be postponed, allowed to still have some capacity left. However the standard of care is expected to be lower.
Additionally, it is sometimes necessary to move patients to a different hospital, so they are asking for understanding.

Last, there is some weird language towards the end, asking at-risk people to clarify whether they "don't need life-extending care". I assume they want to know whom they should ignore?

I suspect most were tolerating the shit (pun intended) because work was there. With remote work, the rent prices make no sense. So now we should see if the problem was really housing, and there should be a huge decrease in people living outside, but I think probably not and the problems were never housing and instead bad incentives and programs that lure people who have no chance at surviving in an expensive city.

The title is wrong. Tweet Author issued a correction - he tested an i7, not an i9:

That’s not really believable given how arbitrary it is.

> Die faces could lead to weird rolling threads or other things.

As if tiles or playing cards could not be used that way.

> The markup's not great, but too much formatting is distracting.

The problem is that despite having only two directives half of HN’s markup is actively detrimental: because there is no escaping, no inline literals, and the parsing is sub-par, in my experience the “emphasis” directive causes issues more often than it helps. HN’s markup would be significantly improved by removing it entirely.

Which would be way less likely if HN actually supported quotes.
And which solar panels power California?
Anytime I see statements like these - "for the low cost of living and high quality of life" coupled with "a desirable place to live in the first place" - I have to wonder about the economic thinking from the person saying it.

What do you think is a better metric of "desirable place to live" than cost of living? People are willing to pay 2, 3, 4 times as much to live in coastal California? Seems like it's still VERY desirable...

So in fact, what people moving are doing is completely rational: they want to bring the things they like because they still desired to live there, other people just had more money... (this part does expose one of the cruelties: people with even more money than the people CURRENTLY in CA can price them out to TX or wherever, where they can then price the current folks there out, etc! But I don't see how you can then possibly view the solution as more free market policies and such...)

It's the "nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded" of city politics discussions... somehow people who otherwise praise economic trends that cause appreciating property values suddenly hate it when it gets too expensive for them!

HN: Use Wii controller remote with iron sight accuracy
well, i think i get what you're saying, but i disagree with your definition of "trapped"
The "Lichtknarre"-project will give you the ability to use your wii remote to control your pc with iron sights accuracy.

For gaming and home entertainment.

https://geekonarium.de/en/lightgun-lichtknarre-for-the-wii-r...

Features:

- Only needs to be calibrated once in theory.

- The user can move to a certain degree. It is not necessary to stand exactly in the spot where the
calibration was made.

- Wii controllers can be quickly connected without the need for Windows menus.

- Easy to use with other games through vjoy2- or mouse plugin.

This is a hobbyproject. hope you enjoy!

Snow Crash refers to a virus, that in the book, only works on "hackers", since their brains understand code, and just need to see the raw bitmap of it for their brain to stop working.

The book contains alot of analysis on the nature of information and how it spreads, and the methods in which you can literally re-program a person with language.

I think its an apt analogy, your buddy is a programmer that has been exposed to Snow Crash, a virus of misinformation, and has shut down a part of his functioning.

"You're a hacker, that means you have deep structures to worry about, too."

"Deep structures?"

"Neurolinguistic pathways in your brain. Remember the first time you learned binary code?"

"Sure."

"You were forming pathways in your brain. Deep structures. Your nerves grow new connections as you use them - the axons split and pushed their way between the dividing glial cells - your bioware self-modifies - the software becomes a part of the hardware. So now you're vulnerable - all hackers are vulnerable - to a nam-shub. We have to look out for each other."

> every wealthy city would be dying

Sincere question: what cities of comparable or larger size are considered as wealthy as San Francisco? Manhattan (not a city)?
Biologically, I think that there are always going to be more single mothers than single fathers. Women can get pregnant without knowing who the father is. Although formula exists today, men could not feed young babies very well for most of history. These social structures are probably intended to serve a greater number of people, so they serve women better than men.
It feels like every day people are complaining about more and more trifling things.

What is the point of this? If you don’t want to use GitHub because you feel it’s influencing the reasons you’re coding (e.g. caring about stars, etc.) then that feels like a very personal problem and not one that applies to the vast majority of people.

GitHub is a great place to version control your software. If you’re open source minded it’s a great place to share and find other software. If you want a lightweight CI, they have it, but nobody is making you to use it.

Everyone just feels the need to complain about the miserable state of affairs of everything. There are a lot of bad things in the world worth exploring, this isn’t one of them. Not to mention that GitHub has been one of the big benefactors of the software world.
Oh so, you just provide whatever reference frames, if any, are needed, and it's just on you to make sure you've decoded what's necessary first? The difference here basically being that the hardware will not do the "bookkeeping"?

Feels like laws are needed around this. Explicit, unambiguous laws. If you go above and beyond the law in terms of invasion of privacy, while acting as a law enforcement officer or on their behalf, you serve time in prison.

Provide a handbook to all law enforcement members explaining these rules. Give them access to whistleblower hotlines. Make an agency whose job it is to look into such complaints and file charges. The problems would vanish in a very short time.

But naturally, such a change would have to come from the top- and the government does not want to give up this power it has over its citizens.

distancing (indoors), yes. masks everywhere, not so much.

it’s important to dig into these nuances to dispel the anxiety and fear we have against each other (like feeling violated). and lockdowns (in the US at least) are political theater, accruing benefit to a few and wreaking discriminate havoc on the many. the mediopolitical apparatus deserves that blame, not the vilified ‘other’.

The guy that wrote is is a big Oil lobyist, and the Manhattan Institue is a conservative/big oil think tank

It is like someone from the early 1900s saying: Combustion engines will never take over, steam is 98% of power... etc.. etc..

yet in 10 years they did take over, first cars, then larger vessels (trains and boats). Coal/Steam power generation for trains was seen as a super polluting thing and unwanted in cities anymore.

Same thing is happening again, this time it is the combustion's engine turn to get replaced with something cleaner
> - I believe the human influence on climate change is much less than what most people tend to believe

I disagree with this with a resentment towards someone saying its a research based view. Putting that aside, however, why would believing climate change isn't human influenced would make things more palatable? In the vaguest sense, that sounds to me like it would be worse, because then we can't possibly do anything to halt it.

I have similar experiences whenever my kids have any kind of medium to high level accident (so to be clear not helicoptering every time they fall over). For whatever reason its like I go into immediate clinical triage mode.

My two year old son ended up breaking his leg stepping off a short stool a couple years ago. My wife thought nothing of his crying but after ten minutes or so she called me while I was upstairs working. I immediately came down and sensed unordinary danger, triaged his leg and concluded it was a broken bone in about 20 seconds, and was off to the ER a minute later (he's fine!). But there is something that just kicks in and says "SOLVE THIS NOW".

Yeah that's fair. The beaches were packed when I was there (August). I meant downtown exclusively which could have been better communicated. I'm just not used to seeing a downtown look like that.

Yes, that was rather my point: if you're using a Unicode-based character encoding, you're going to have variable-width characters regardless, so you might as well use UTF-8.
