I was in the rubber industry for 5 years as a researcher and believe me, it's no God damn "mystery". We (a very large tire manufacturer you have heard of) spent several million a year coming up with plausible deniability for what we were doing to avoid this, mainly using more natural rubber. We spent more on advertising the "green" natural rubber tires then we did on actually manufacturing them.

Sorry to be cynical but I am so sick of this BS where big industry pollutes for decades while academics are eating right out of their hands then they pretend like it's a surprise when they "discover" the source of the pollution.

We have know FOR DECADES that tire pollution is arguably WORSE for the environment than tail pipe emissions. Don't buy this BS as if this is new research, it's just been successful ignored until it couldn't. Same as recycling plastics but ya'all ain't ready to talk about that scam yet apparently as I keep seeing people diligently filling their blue buckets with unrecyclables as if they are "doing their part".
The “world’s currency” description is valid in the sense that USD so far remains the main settlement currency in international trade (with China trying to replace it with RMB within its sphere of influence).

Also, a fun fact I just learned: apparently, the majority of dollars in paper form is held by people outside the US.
As dynamic as the development is, I think including the month of publication in Corona-related submissions might not be the worst idea.

The paper is open access by the way.
That is exactly my experience too as someone who does a lot of interviews.

I have 2.5 years of experience.
I'm a self-starter and take ownership of the work.
I have a keen interest in functional programming and distributed systems.
Being on the periphery of groups you'd likely describe as "conspiracy theorists", practically all of this is strawmanning.

This has become more of a political issue than a scientific issue. I saw a video of a doctor(?) streaming a video alone in his own home in Germany, when armed police stormed his home and arrested him for objecting to the narrative. That's not science. Anyway, can we really blame the common man for distrusting "science" when so much of it has become a shallow tool for political/social activism in recent years?

Nobody is refusing vaccines without reason. That you think it is without reason is either disingenuous or uninformed. And I'd add that the idea that people should accept an injection simply because they can't present a satisfactory reason for refusal is pernicious. The burden is not on them.

There are some who believe in wide scale fraud without evidence, I suppose, but that's a small minority. Most are simply unsatisfied by the evidence in favour, and sensibly don't take the prospect of a mysterious injection lightly. Regardless, I would argue there are far more people who believe in large scale competent benevolence with no evidence (or even evidence to the contrary).

Holy crap, I've seen myself in the op here. I used to love coding, owned a c64 and wrote games and other small utilities when I was only a toddler armed with the "programming guide" that came with the ol' breadbox.

After 10 years of "srs coding" I felt like I was burning out and I was burned out. Because the feeling of discovery, solving people's problems and teaching the good stuff kinda disappeared in the churn. What I felt was I was adding data to a database and retrieving it when needed. The software did the required transformations that's all. Back then I was writing Java mainly and its verbosity kinda added to it.

I am not an engineer, my diplomas are on philosophy (bach.), sociology (m.a.) and international relations (bach.). And I used to feel fun and joy while doing that. Now it's all about buzzwords and creating stuff that's not neither usable nor fun.

Anyway sorry for the rambling but as a person who is in his late 30ies I didn't imagine this present, where I feel queasy from coding and think I should "relearn" the trade.

Thank you for reading!
There should be a slightly hidden custom option if you're using windows. (Not in the drop-down)

For me the killer feature of TimescaleDB is that you can run it on your own server. Not all of us can run our services in the cloud. In my case I'm working at a particle accelerator, which is considered a nuclear facility and thus not allowed to be directly connected to the Internet.

One year ago I moved our old system to TimescaleDB, and I have been really happy since then, it's a really amazing product. Kudos to the development team!

I guess what I'll say is that I hope the Oil ecosystem will grow the things that people like about it, that aren't tied to Windows. Windows and Unix are fundamentally different and it means they need fundamentally different shells, since a shell is by definition a language closely tied to the OS.

You can run powershell on Unix, and bash on Windows, but even on the same OS they are somewhat disjoint tools!
It's pretty typical and sad how the US is prosecuting a dirty cop who looks up confidential data in exchange for money: on behalf of the system itself rather than on behalf of the victims' privacy, any limitations on the actions of law enforcement officers in general, or public corruption. In libertarianism/liberalism's final form, the only two kinds of laws left are lèse majesté and violations of terms of service.

Surely one can formulate theories about actual conspiracies. These are not contradictory.
> What's the use-case you're envisioning where an integrated GPU is a good use of die space?

These CPUs are using a multi chip design. There'd be no waste of die space. They can slap a small Vega3@12nm die alongside I/O die.
Sadly this is the same experience a friend of mine had with a System76 laptop. When I used it I thought it was fine but not great. The keyboard was usable but didn't feel especially great. Not up there with the likes of a ThinkPad, HP or even the new MacBook keyboards.

The thing that puts me off buying them is that they get quite expensive when you start speccing them up but the quality does not match the $1500+ price tag. On the plus side you can save money doing some after purchase upgrades but that doesn't address the overall build quality issues.
Or at the very minimum, for constantly spamming every social and news network they could for the last few weeks about it?

Because safety is far from a binary equation. Safety is a sliding scale that never reaches 100%. If the Max is 99.9999% safe and regulators are demanding they make it at least 99.99991% safe it doesn't detract from my point.

If other planes received this level of scrutiny, changes would similarly be demanded. The practice of re-badging old models is widespread.

I'm telling you that personally, I'd exclusively travel on just the Max for the rest of my days and wouldn't lose sleep.

You’re correct, Conda does not call pip when it installs packages. But pip does have a subtle involvement here: Many Python packages available to Conda are packaged based on installations made by pip, and (IMO lazily and incorrectly) inherits a lot of pip characteristics. This makes the packages “appear” to be installed by pip, and sometimes induce interpolation inconsistencies.

I can't deal with these 16:9 screens. Especially when almost all models have a plastic "chin" at the bottom of the screen where the missing pixels (to make it a full 16:10 screen) would be - there's clearly room for it, so put it there.

16:9 is optimized for watching video and not much else. Give me back my pixels. Luckily some vendors have finally begun to see the light on this issue (Dell XPS, Huawei Mate, LG Gram - Microsoft even goes 3:2).
I bought a forged iron pan years ago because i got tired oft buying new teflon pans every x months. It's brilliant! Used only for frying (no tomato sauces etc) and with high initial heat it eventually non-sticks better than teflon and e.g. pancakes turn out perfect.

just... wow. Can anyone point to a man ever being labelled in such a way on HN?

Edit: comparing the number of comment hits for " his tantrum" vs " her tantrum" to the relative numbers for " his " and " her " shows that "tantrum" is, indeed, used 2.5 times as often to describe women as it is for men.

This is nice, but when your language will grow, why would you use that instead of lex/yacc? It's hard to beat a nice BNF grammar; In fact they felt the need to put the BNF grammar for the things they were parsing at the end of the README, because it's far more readable that those >* skip <* stuff.

> slow bloated Electron apps - except VSCode which is fast

Is it, though? I'll give VSCode credit for being better than your average Electron app, but it (and Azure Data Studio, which last I checked is based on VSCode) ain't exactly a speed demon, either. Then again, I'm typically running something like Emacs, which is a lot lighter-weight (at least before I blow up ~/.emacs.d), so I'm probably just spoiled :)

It's certainly faster than Visual Studio, but it also has far fewer features.

Local text files of notes are the best.

For me, I go even simpler. I have a single file in my Dropbox folder that I’ve been using for over a decade. To open it, I just use Alfred (and before that, quicksilver). I pop new stuff at the top. Every now and again I search for something way back when.

Works really well for me.

Gold value will never go to zero though

For the simple reason that it exist in the physical space and can't disappear, unless the laws that regulate our existence change, which is quite improbable

Gold will also work and retain a value even if society suddenly shuts down and reset to a "sticks and stones" state

Bitcoin advocates have this weird tendency to completely ignore decades of game theory

"In both of those instances, the pages and data scraped are publicly available on the internet-no hacking necessary-but sites involved could easily change the fine print on their terms of service to label the aggregation of that information "unauthorized.""

They could. But if they filed a claim under the CFAA without ever sending a cease and desist letter to the alleged intruder, I think the claim would be dismissed.

Is simply changing TOS enough for a CFAA claim to have a reasonable chance of success. I could be wrong, but I believe for every CFAA claim we have seen so far based on "scraping", there was some notice to stop directed specifically at the respondent. If someone thinks just changing TOS (public notice) is enough for a CFAA claim to survive a Motion to Dismiss and there is no need to also contact the alleged offender asking them to stop, then let's hear about the precedent that supports that idea. I do not think there is any such precedent, but I could be wrong.

Of course. And you can own one for the low price of $45,000.
I like to compile an app for a big endian architecture and run its test suite to catch any endian-dependence bugs.

Now, if you don’t have an actual need to port the app to a big endian architecture, maybe eliminating endianness bugs is just pursuing theoretical purity without any practical benefit. But if we are talking about a hobby project (as opposed to work), what’s wrong with that? It’s a good learning experience anyway. And maybe one day you really will need to port something to something big endian, and now you’ll know how.

Like Solaris SPARC (pretty dead I think), or AIX or IBM i PASE or IBM Z (none of which are dead yet, but all smaller than they used to be)
Equally, talking only about the stuff that works great and completely ignoring the incompatibilities that do exist is also misleading.

Every other review out there covered the strong compatibility and how amazing the M1 is. I for one am glad that there exist a least a couple of reviews that focus on everything that doesn't work. Let's be honest, no one these days makes a purchasing decision based off of just reading the first review they find.
>Things that operate safely tend not require so much scrutiny.

I don't understand this statement, it seems fundamentally wrong. Aviation is full of scrutiny. Aircraft maintenance checks happy every 500 flight hours. Engines get overhauled completely every 1,500 hours.

Maintenance and scrutiny ensure safety.

If the Max has received, at a guess, 200x the scrutiny of any other plane in history, then I'd wager it is the safest. And at this point, pilots will know the Max back to front and front to back in order to avoid issues. Do pilots have such deep knowledge of other planes which almost assuredly have latent bugs which rarely or never crop up due to exceedingly rare conditions?
The article mentions a budget of a billion DKK. This would be a bit over 100M $. So, expensive but not that outrageous.

Populations on these islands and their economies are small precisely because it is hard to get there and requires operating ferries (which costs money as well). Solve that problem and you might expect to see an effect on the local economy (more tourism, cheaper to move goods around, commutes to the mainland, etc.). If you then consider that they'll be benefiting from this for decades/centuries, it suddenly becomes a wise investment.
This for sure reinforced it with a new wave, but i think that pulp characters like Conan the Barbarian, from the 1930’s, already did it.

I use paper. Digital notes are great if you need them to be available everywhere, or edit them time and time again, but paper is still significantly better for me.

I keep my recipes in Keep and on my personal website, because I often amend them. However I discovered that printed recipes are much more pleasant to use.

Likewise, I'd much rather have a dirty notebook to sketch and write on when I'm working in the garage, or anywhere that's not my desk

Her technical work and credentials are solid. Working on better datasets is valuable and important. What is questionable is acting as if every dataset out there that can be found to have one dimension with any bias against some race/gender deemed underprivileged is a malicious crime against humanity. When there are many many biases, cutting both ways in those datasets. When there are many many alternate explanations to this state of affairs besides malicious discrimination and oppression. When reasonable courses of action include the constructive contribution of building and using better datasets.
above 128 bytes, ARM implementations tend to use the NEON/SIMD for memcmp/strcmp so I doubt the endian-ness would matter.
A nice solution for those that can get by with text-only notes.

For storing images I use Microsoft OneNote as more often than not, there is a need to document something with text and images. And search is excellent.

you can do this all in bash. you could set up a function that takes the text of your note as input along with your metadata and makes a timestamp. then you just index your notes however you'd like.
Just check the device specs on any technical site, and look for USB-C PD (power delivery) and DP (DisplayPort).
To be honest, this is very disappointing.
What I like about quantum supremacy is that it finally lays to rest the layman theory that the world is a simulation, and that quantum effects are because of shortcuts and corner cutting.

No! Our world is harder to simulate than a classical one, which can only have classical computers.

> There is absolutely no technical reason why transfers have to take days between banks. That's just down to the banks in your country having a crappy infrastructure.

I agree that there's no technical reason. For example, "crappy infrastructure" is an economic reason why fast bank transfers wouldn't work. I'm evaluating bitcoin as a political/economic tool.
My point is that both PHP and Javascript owe their popularity not due to their merits as languages, but rather to being in the right place at the right time - time and positioning.
That is just double 1980x1080, and if you shuffle it a little you get a 4000x2000 pixels, but that would mean your aspect ratio is different than what people are used to.
FWIW, searching for "musk tantrum" gives 24 comments. (Musk is a known nutcase, though, so it may be an unfair comparison.)
Imagine if you could somehow scale this up to analyze frames in a video and create a 3d reconstruction of each frame. That could be an amazing starting point for learning about the world.

Say you then combined it with captioning and fed it a significant portion of YouTube.

Imagine what funny cat videos you could synthesize.
Pen and paper is frowned upon by people but, they're indispensable for me too.

Not all cars are equivalent

I guess you don't drive a Ferrari or a Murciélago

And does it really matter to have a faster car if you can't use it to go camping with your family because space is limited?

That's what an Apple gives you, but it's not even a Ferrari, it's more like an Alfa Duetto

It's not expensive if you compare it to similar offers in the same category with the same constraints (which are artificially imposed on Macs like there's no other way to use a computer...)

But if you compare it to the vast amount of better configurations that the same money can buy, it is not
Sorry, one can't go make a black-or-white threat and then expect people to not take it at face value. She literally wrote "if you don't do this-and-that then I can't work here anymore". If people then act on that then she can't go complain that they did. It's not a meaningful defense to claim well employees are just people. She should not say such a thing if she does not mean it. Words and actions have consequences.

Even pull the victim card, blast it all over social media. Sorry, that's a major disservice to everybody _actually_ being dehumanized. She's just dissatisfied with her employer and wants to make the biggest possible splash now.
This is ideological battle boilerplate of the sort that contradicts the mandate of this site and which users were therefore right to flag:

This is the fundamental victim mindset of the social media woke: any setback is chalked up to identity based oppression. Reality check: everybody has setbacks, most of them unfair, or at least easily perceived as unfair, and definitely frustrating. Most have the decency to deal with it,

Indeed, this is why positive discrimination is still discrimination, and therefore racist.
The "democrat" party (actually Democratic, using "democrat" is a Republican party slur) in the US is conventionally blue and the Republican party is conventionally red.

Red has also been used for "workers" parties and organizations, like the UK Labour party and various socialist and communist parties.

I'm pretty sure that the choice of red by System76 has nothing to do with politics.

Speaking from experience and having played around with fonts, scaling and DPI, I still feel a bit hampered switching back to my Thinkpad t470s (14" 1080p) from a long time on my t490s (14" 1440p). I do use pretty small terminal fonts.
