This is a common pattern that I see in US legislation as well. It’s the “we have to do something” effect, even if that something wouldn’t have helped at all.
Ha yes, I forgot about that one. I watched it all the way through once.
Same. I find most of the comics funny, but there are a few that really make me laugh. I actually have a folder on my desktop dedicated to so some of my favorite cartoons.

Comedy isn't universal at all: I'm sure there are people who don't find Robin Williams funny. With Garfield, there are several layers to the strip, and the more of them you understand, the funnier the strip gets.

I think you have to ...

1) Understand the role of each character;

2) Empathize with Garfield (easy to do, he has many common failings);

3) Feel like cats in general are lazy, eat the same thing, somewhat anti-social, and prone to melodrama (i.e., be a cat owner);

4) Feel superior to Jon, as everyone else in the comic does, but also find him lovable (having a dorky dad helps);

5) Appreciate absurdity

...for the humor to translate.

Here's a random comic I chuckled at : https://www.gocomics.com/garfield/1986/03/22

The foundations of humor are certainly present in this strip, regardless of how much the reader knows about Garfield. It is absurd (a cat crying and watching a sad movie) and incongruous (turns out, he's not watching a movie at all; his reaction is not proportional to the situation). But I think what elevates the strip is the repetition of Garfield's struggle with diets and how Jon always tries (and fails) to cheer Garfield up, combined with the fact that Garfield acts exactly like real-world cats do (crying for attention/food).
Removing fancy litter from what is supposed to be a natural preserve isn’t in the same category as housing. I agree that human occupied areas need art, but encouraging wilderness to be even more littered with human scars is the last thing we need.
Does anything change about the “dark forest” problem?
I expect the monolith to disappear and periodically reappear at different places, e.g., inside a shopping mall, in SF harbor wild seal rocks, on the White House lawn during Biden's inaugural,etc.

But seriously, they should examine the monolith's RF characteristics, monitor/test the field strength around the thing to determine its size and whether it is wired into something.
I've found VS Code to be pretty slow regardless of what I've used it for. The UI is snappy, but the hinting/linting/type-checking is sometimes shockingly slow.

The only reason I've used VS Code for more than an hour in the last few years is because its Svelte plugin was much better, but now JetBrains has a good Svelte plugin, and I'm back to JetBrains 100% of the time. It's worth every penny.

> You didn't know that this thing existed like 2 hours ago and now you want to change the laws in our national parks to allow art installations across our parks? Why even have national parks and try to preserve wilderness?

On the other hand, you didn't know it existed until 2 hours ago and now you want it removed.
Bitcoin lost more purchasing power between midnight and midday on Sunday than the USD did during the unprecedented QE stimuluses of 2009-2011. So either QE isn't actually that bad, or BTC is far too far from being a solution to be worth spending the entire energy requirements of a largish developing country or small developed country on.

Giving each customer a guaranteed bandwidth and a burst bandwidth should work. When the network is free you can use up to your burst speed, but the network is guaranteed to be large enough to support your minimum speed. During congestion, all packets beyond your minimum speed are at a lower priority and will be dropped as needed.
Which at one point gets compiled to machine code. At one point, you have to stop and say, "Yeah, this does effectively runs TypeScript", otherwise as I said, you'll end up saying nothing gets run but machine code. While that's correct, not very useful.

Remediation of soil, preventing deforestation, reforestation are all very important options that need to be pursued. Direct capture to storage is a waste of capital (political, talent and financial) and rewards both the oil and gas historic investments and incentivizes them to continue to pursue fossil fuel production. That with it requiring specific geologic formations and on top there is a risk that there are leaks in the formations (e.g. Aliso Canyon gas leak in California).

For those working from home, pro tip:

Get Comcast Business class if you can't switch to a reasonable ISP, reasons follow:

- No Data Caps
- You get priority on your node, and typically, there isn't more than a few others in the neighborhood that are also on business class, if at all (my technician who did the install told me I was the only one for my whole node, so I get priority over others in the neighborhood, all other things being equal)

- You get better uptime guarentees

- Frankly, their customer service is light years ahead of their consumer, but that isn't saying much

- extremely consistent speeds. I know a lot of people on the prosumer plans have this too (friends of mine on xfinity don't have a lot of speed dips) but I have never been under 75/30 (the base of my plan) and my router tests every day so I can have historical reports. I'm often over 100 down (always 30 up though)

The plans tend to be more than the consumer plans, of course, usually by 25-30 dollars, but you do get a little bit more than just no data caps, at least. Its been easier to deal with and I've had it for a few years.

I don't like Comcast, but this arrangement made dealing with them much less painful. I've actually been impressed with the service levels.

When I had xfinity (consumer Comcast, if you will) I had outages, speed dips, all kinds of things. Not since business class.

Your mileage may vary, of course. I wish I could switch to a different ISP like Sonic, but alas, my alternative is dialup or very slow DSL, so this is the next best thing I could find.
A wafer generally costs $4K-$7, last I checked, I'm not really up to date.

The server around it, with it's packaging and unique cooling device, could certainly become much cheaper with volume.

So with competition - sure, this may be $100K or less.

But will there be competition ? And if not, why would they reduce the price so drastically, if it's still competitive ?

Honestly, in the 5+ years of Caddy, you're the only person I've ever seen complain about this. And you're relentless about it. You bring it up on every thread on HN that ever has a mention of Caddy. It's very annoying.

That said, you can just make a site block with that host label and Caddy will handle it just fine. You just need to explicitly ask Caddy for it.

It isn't that simple - Governments require Support, Scale, Stability, and Usability. FOSS lacks in all four, unless someone picks up the Support tab, makes the app scale to several billion people, ensure upgrades don't break functionality, and makes the app actually usable all citizens.

As a consequence, the app may be free in theory, but the Support and other contracts cost a lot of money. As it is often said Linux is free if your time has no value.

Maybe we need to think about whether modern capitalist economies are higher-order lifeforms that have produced many systems, including systems of economic rationalization and "consent manufacture", that directly optimize their... ecomass. It's no longer really about class and the means of production -- we're seeing how an organism that is larger than us has learned how to reprogram us to better serve its need. The paper clip optimizer is already here, folks!

That is the political justification but several studies have found that the benefits flow mostly to the wealthy. If you are poor in a 3rd world country, you cannot afford a car.

Moreover these subsidy schemes are hugely expensive, and the money is better used elsewhere - eg. education, family planning, clean infrastructure.

PayTM which is huge in India has Chinese investors like Ant financials and Alibaba. Ant being largest share holder with 29.71% ownership.

I think the key point in this case is that the performance characteristics of Deno don't significantly differ from TypeScript independently transpiled to JavaScript and run in Node because the compilation pipeline is more or less the same (Deno is using tsc and v8 internally)
The clear intention of the second amendment is that the citizens have the right to have and carry around anything that would be needed to wage war at the highest level, in order to defend themselves from anyone including the government. Just as the founding fathers had very recently finished doing.
This reminds me of how I once needed to look at a bunch of screens at once, so I made an app for cardboard VR that put a sphere of virtual screens hanging in the air all around me. All I had to do was swivel in my chair. The resolution was a bit low, but it sort of worked nevertheless. That was a fun hack, but not nearly as fun as building this monster I bet.

NeXT was also mostly ahead of the market on the software side. Their machines were a very tough sell compared to the price and performance of other UNIX workstations of the time (which is why I know SunOS and not NeXTStep).

All the vision and all the software quality in the world won't make you competitive in the 90s UNIX workstation market if your machines are underpowered, and we were used to garbage software anyway. Chasing the "personal workstation"/PC market also would never work. DOS/Windows was far too strong and the Macintosh deep in a niche. It's very unfortunate.
Technically correct is the best kind of correct.

Yeah and increases inequality, that creates poverty, instability, and we go full cycle. It is actually long been known, that progressive taxation indeed slows down short-term development and increases long-term.
Is there a difference between a drop in oxygen levels and a rise in CO2 levels?

My understanding of the oxygen cycle is that O2 gets removed from the atmosphere by being bound to carbon in CO2. Further, since most of the oxygen is O2, while most of the carbon is currently biomass; any notable drop in O2 levels would be a disasterous rise in CO2 levels.

Specifically, O2 is about 200,000 ppm, while CO2 is about 400ppm.

As I understand it, a 1% drop in O2 levels would put us at about 2,400 ppm of CO2; at which point we are looking at significant cognitive decline; and I don't even know how to speculate on the grean house effect.

On the other hand, climbing to the top of the eifel tower (1000 ft) corresponds to a drop of about 4% in the partial pressure of oxygen.

Same, but while working, admittedly. It was fairly coherent throughout iirc.
Switzerland is well known for this. Part of this is they run the trains slower than they can go which gives plenty of ability to go faster if needed to meet the schedule. The schedule in turn is carefully designed so that where trains they all meet at the same time, thus ensuring you can switch trains and so you wouldn't want your train to go faster even though it could in theory.

There are two good ways to run a good transport system: a carefully planned timetable so that you always know when your train arrives, and once you get on all your connections are easy to make. The other is as fast and frequent as possible, you never know when your next train will arrive but it will be soon enough that you don't care anyway. The second is somewhat better, but vastly more expensive.

California is in the minority of states that have a "may issue" law for concealed carry as opposed to "must issue" where the license must be issued if they applicant has met all of the prerequisites. Given the politics of the State it's unlikely that the California Assembly will change their CCW law to "must issue" but it would have made this case of requesting and paying a bribe impossible.

> "Imagine if it was discovered that Bell, or Motorolla, or Cisco installed taps on business phones in the 80s and 90s to see which "productivity features" were being used, or for "reporting" -- it would make national headlines and businesses would be up in arms."

I seem to remember that phone bills were a thing in the 80s and 90s, an itemised list of every number you called, when, how long you spent on the call, logs of every incoming and outgoing call on an entire system, used for reporting. Possibly judging sales people on call volumes and engagement metrics? Judging customer support people on time to close calls? And no national headline outcry.

No? Wasn't that a thing?

Ok, this is clearly a joke / fun project that metastasized / etc, and it's also clearly awesome, but I gotta ask - why 7 screens?

Why not 6? Or 8?

They said that they wanted to design a mobile Security Operations Center - do people doing this work normally need exactly 7 screens worth of information? I've seen pictures of "Operation Centers" which have tons of screens so it's plausible that someone would need "a lot" of screens, but I can't tell if this would actually achieve the goal of being a mobile SOC.

(My gut feeling is that they were trying to see how many screens they could put onto a single laptop, moreso than that small screen next to the touchpad actually being genuinely, uniquely useful, but I'd love to know for sure if each screen actually has a specific purpose)
