Is this a heat engine? Feels like it has to be obeying the laws of thermodynamics and something has to get hot managing the pressure wave density in air. I'm guessing the speaker magnets and coils heat up.

Suicide rates are generally higher now, signaling a general dissatisfaction and hopelessness in life.

Sure living standard is higher (but with more inequality), most fields are more advanced now, but what's the true purpose if people feel more depressed and inclined to kill themselves?
I have seen this dark red seas during a storm at sunset, they are scary and powerful in movement and in color. I don't think Homer perceived color differently than we do now.
For conventional fuel resources estimates vary from 670 years, to 160,000 years, and higher. For other reactors/elements, five billion years. Yes I know that number sounds insane: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power#Conventional_fue...

Isn't abiogenesis just a fancy way of saying that somehow life began from organic compounds that were created by inorganic means? To my understanding the somehow part is exactly the reason why we don't have enough information to make any intelligent guess on the probability of it happening elsewhere.
Unlike the dot-com era, Tesla makes real things.

The valuation is unimportant as long as there isn’t something else for cash rich people to put their money into. Same for BTC or beach property.
The two big things are a network stack that can act as a router (SeL4 has no network stack at all) and drivers. I;d imagine that a decent portion could be ripped from another open source operating system and run in userspace in SeL4 and get some benefits, but I'm not aware of any real effort to do that. Otherwise the usual way to use SeL4 as a hypervisor and just run linux under itm which gets you some benefits but probanly not the ones you'd want for a router to be as secure as possible.
Well the thermostat is in the living room and the echo is near the Alexa enabled microwave in the kitchen. So then we wouldn’t be able to adjust the thermostat from the living room without buying another Echo or Echo Dot.
I just use Go (golang) instead, whenever I can

Go can be understood as an improved C that keeps much of C's simplicity but adds small, powerful features like interfaces and channels and garbage collection

Go fixes C's well-understood flaws (declaration resembling use, unintuitive operator precedence, unrestricted address math, silent casting, zero-terminated strings, etc.)

Go puts essential C idioms directly into the language (pointer/length is formalized as slices, packages are part of the language instead of just being naming convention, etc.)

The longer I used C++, the more I despised it. I used C++ for 11 years and I literally hate the language. But C has always remained a pleasure, and Go is a continuation/modernization/enhancement of that

Go is mature, stable, widely-used, well-supported, well-understood, etc., so it's fully mainstream

If you like C, you will love Go
It can be something simple like having work with more visible impact
I'm amazed that my comment was downvoted on a tech board, where presumably people are informed about these things.

Of course TLS connections are regularly inspected. A simple google search will show you edge boxes you can purchased to perform this on your network. IT people know all about this.
No, this does not mean that the cryptography used by TLS has been broken.
We did not “eradicate SARS”. It disappeared from hospitals on its own, and we simply stopped looking.

IMHO:

It’s appropriate for a manager or team lead to do this. It’s not appropriate to make it the norm (even if it’s “optional”) for the whole team.

Much better for a leader to model the desired behavior, and, create space for those on the team, of their own volition and without peer pressure, follow suit.

It will also be much more authentic, real, and meaningful.
I've heard a lot of love for the GitLens extension over the years. From what I could see, it doesn't help stage/and or commit though. It's mostly just data about branches/existing commits, right?

For white, affluent, straight Americans, the 80s were probably just fine. For a large number of people who aren't those things, the 80s were hell, though.

The "general state of the world today" is likely to be much better for billions of people than it was in the 80s, however. It's worth keeping that perspective in mind, IMO.

Edit: I've linked one slide deck I think will describe what I'm talking about a bit, but there are certainly more and better sources for this kind of information.

Maybe we can share some sources here as a way to better educate ourselves on this topic?

Most small farmers I know have modest incomes or less. Many also need to work another job.
They could have at least told us how much electricity and human labor it uses per pound of produce - it doesn't instill confidence that the article only talks about space usage, when the important question is "at what cost?".
ADAS == Advanced Driver Assistance System, which I didn’t know. Annoyingly “ADAS” is used in the article without description, until the text of a figure.
It might only serve a tiny subset of the market, but subsets can still be highly profitable. Consider Apple vs the Android ecosystem. Most phones are Android phones, yet Apple makes most profits from the market thanks to their brand.
Indoor/Vert farming Cannabis is very expensive - even with full auto-hydro/aero setups. And, after legalization there is huge downward pressure on PPK of the material (eg: -75-80%)
Right, and forget it if you think your Vim is somehow going to magically look like the beautiful screenshots you see on the Vim theme sites. Getting a terminal to properly handle 256 colors or more is annoying in and of itself. (definitely not impossible). It's nice to launch an editor, download some plugins, choose a theme and just GO.
That sounds reasonable and way different than like going around the circle and peer-pressuring everyone into delivering a compliment and then clapping as a group.
It really did seem like all of their (too many) consoles were a promise of the next gen but never quite living in the next gen.
Your best bet is to look at the problem from different perspectives.

If it is only one person that is slacking off then you can give them a heads up and if not change let the person go.
If is it pervasive in the company then you should leave as it would be more difficult to solve that issue. If you can't leave and want to fix the culture this might be a good guiding principle - https://jobs.netflix.com/culture.

Ask HN: Alternatives to Flir Lepton?
Are there any alternatives to the Flir Lepton thermal imaging sensors? I was hoping for something at least 160 resolution, but 320 or 640 would be better. I would have thought that with the number of thermal device suppliers (flir, agm, atn, etc) that there would be some decent sensor options.

I haven't really been able to find anything on DigiKey or other sites.

When can we start using CRISPR to bioengineer crops that can be economically grown?

Say I want to grow an apple. I would like it to sprout its fruit from a small unit, like a branch, that’s hooked up to the nutrient bath.

Then this small unit can be mechanically organized and sorted by the robotic farm operating system.

The whole system would work in orchestration, where seedlings are germinated into saplings. Then put into a grow box, to collect its nutrients. And then put into an assembly line for it to grow, and be harvested. Then when it is ripe, it gets harvested by a robotic arm picker.

All fully automated, organically grown, no pesticides or very limited usage. Then automatically washed and hermetically packaged for sale at your local grocery store. Or delivered to you by Amazon Grocery Services.

If they didn't intend condescension, they should not have put a comic displaying exactly that (and with essentially no further relevance) into the middle of the article.
It outproduces salad, but not potatoes, wheat, and most of all humus. Also the need for heavy machinery has a real cost in green house gas emissions (same issue as with electric cars).

There are real ecological services provided by a healthy land and natural agriculture that can't be provided by such food factories.

As @systemvoltage wrote, this is good for a heavily centralized system that's owned by big corporations looking for big profits but that's not a solution to the global environmental and soon to come (and it's already here for a lot of us) food/water crisis.

How meaningful is the claim that indoor, vertical farms need/have zero pesticides because it's a totally contained environment? I'm not sure I'd pay 5x for "taste and the feeling of eating local" but if it's differentiated in terms of pesticide exposure then I'd start to take a look.
It does help stage and commit. Check it out, there are a lot of features.
> In all cases, were talking about killing animals that are known to be highly intelligent and social.

I mean, that applies to plenty of the animals that people breed/hunt for food without outrage.

I'm fond of whales (and rorquals in particular), but my opinion has always been go big or go home. Bar the question of sustainability/conservation, whale hunting isn't inherently any worse than rearing livestock or other regular forms of obtaining meat - personally I think the only rational stances are to oppose all or oppose none.
Thank you for your comment.

In terms of framework, I tried to do what I thought was right, which was to make sure the company I was working at could fend for itself. Being more selfish would have helped, but I shouldn't tread that path...

This is one of my biggest pet peeves---GDP is a rate! The units are often quoted as dollars [or equivalent] but they're actually dollars/year. Or, put another way, they're the rate, but integrated over a definite time period (1 year) from which you can only extract an average rate.

Farmers aren't 'average people'. A commercial-scale farm requires millions in investment. It runs on small margins, and is run like a factory. A modern 1000-acre farm can be operated by one or two people. That's been the trend for 200 years. America for instance has gone from 50% farmers to under 2%. Arguably the reason we were the superpower we were - so much more manpower for other things.

And to create a fancy mechanical robotic wall-farm to produce commodity products like lettuce seems folly. I'm sure they chose that because it comes to maturity in a score days, not weeks or months. And the 'floor space' per plant has to be enormous for that farm-of-the-future.

The article belabors the 'less land used' argument throughout. Perhaps because that's the only place they win (not on price; not on investment cost; not on variety or flexibility?) While that's important, the issue is not running out of farmland. The American farmer has gotten so efficient, doubling output per acre repeatedly for a century now. Iowa could feed two United States. The US could feed the world. With old-fashioned land-intensive agriculture.
That claim was never made, and you don’t know enough about the poster’s needs and circumstances to criticize their vehicle choice in general.
Nothing wrong with starting there as long as there is a path to profitability with a mass market product! Do you think there is one for vertically grown potatoes? Or corn? Both are 10-100x less valuable per pound and both take 10-100x longer to grow, 10-100x more water, and 10-100x more energy. I am not sure Tesla was battling the same order of magnitude of order of magnitudes.
"you don't pay for it" doesn't mean that no code gets generated for exceptions in this case, but that no code gets executed unless an exception gets thrown, and your example does not disprove that.
I just keep thinking how terrifying the pandemic would be without the Internet for information, entertainment and connection with friends. We are insanely lucky and we do not take time to appreciate it.

Furthermore, networked APIs were commonplace way before REST and JSON were a thing. Even in the HTTP API era we're at the 'second generation', with the first one being SOAP or XML-RPC. Before that there was a long history of CORBA, DCOM+, DCE/RPC, etc, etc...
If I'm reading that post right, Latin and other languages all use the same model, they just have more training data for more common pairs of languages.
The book "The Midnight Library" by Matt Haig does a good job easing that "what if" regret. It shows how each "ideal/better" life can come with its own major negative consequences.
Big difference in growing baby greens which are harvested early in a plants life vs growing for the fruit or seeds.
You can grow 100% of what you need / want beside grains on less than 5 acres (really 1 acre can suffice depending on what you want to grow). Growing your own grains is quite frankly ridiculous. It will likely cost you close to 100x what you could buy them for (if you include your time), and importantly the quality in taste is minimal.

You don't need a ton of equipment to feed yourself. You might WANT some to make life easier, but even then, I'm pretty sure you don't need to pay yearly tax on a tractor in most states...
The market doesn’t really absorb boutique veggies well. How many people at a farmer’s market can sell micro greens before it becomes uneconomical?

Meanwhile Tesla has a waiting list for virtually every one of their vehicles and is the only one selling them.
I refer to my daughters as "the 2 best questionable decisions I ever made".

But seriously learning software development was my best decision. I spent most of my working life in food service (read: broke) and then 6 years as a massage therapist at a high end practice. I taught myself Ruby and JavaScript in between clients and on breaks.

It was already a good decision pre-pandemic, but if I was still a waiter or an MT, we would have been just so horribly fucked. I would have basically had months of no work or income, which would force me to go back to work during the pandemic. I'm so grateful that I don't do that kind of work anymore. I literally don't know how we would have gotten by.
I see what you’re saying. I’m noticing general trends towards authoritarianism, corruption of public discourse, death of journalism, polarization of politics, rise of conspiracy theories, climate is worse, etc.

If you’re an average Chinese citizen, your life has probably improved dramatically. The auto mechanic down the street is struggling though since newer cars are basically unrepairable.

How does it compare to lunr.js?
This is something I think we can all relate to.

I think it’s what afflicted my relative, too, for what it’s worth. When you’re stung by people, it’s hard to see the value in continuing to remain open.

Regarding the accrual of knowledge and its hardening effects on the soul:

> with much wisdom comes much sorrow; the more knowledge, the more grief.

> The wise have eyes in their heads, while the fool walks in the darkness; but the same fate overtakes them both.

These quotes come from Ecclesiastes, which does not contain a much of a resolution.

> A person can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in their own toil.

Tao Te Ching makes a similar recommendation: empty hearts and fill bellies. In short, worry less of ideas, and more of literal substances that bind us together (food, drink, and toil).
>If people were free to built, then demand for housing could be satisfied rather than seeing these increases in price. Increases in money supply don't increase prices if output rises, only if more money chases the same amounts of goods.

But that's the problem: housing isn't like most goods (eg. TVs) that can be produced in a factory in quantities so massive that everyone can have one. The same can't be said of housing, or more specifically land eg. there's only so many space for a semi-detached house within 30 minutes driving distance of the bay area.

> Which again, is not happening as born out by data.

Oh Criminal and History of English are great!
There's only one comment that addresses your point. The rest of the comments actually agree with the article.

Either way I'm more arguing against the plethora of endless informal exposes into design and design metaphors that I see on HN everyday. These things do little to move the field forward no matter how eloquently they're written. The endless flat circle continues to rotate.

It's like an overdone hollywood genre.
Higher valuations, property taxes, more homeless to complain about in a few years.

In the Spirit of asking the how, not the what: „git grep“ as in searching a repo for a keyword? I often struggle with finding an answer in the source code (documentation is find but after that it gets hard sometimes), maybe that might help :)

If your total lifetime costs to date of compliance as an American abroad amount to the coronavirus support cheque value, you should be running a popular YouTube channel teaching others. For most people in this situation that I know, the costs are $4-6k per year, minimum. Heaven forbid they try to make use of their local country retirement schemes, or have anything but the basic banking services and do not participate in partnerships or other “complicated” legal entities.
My family just bought one. Of course thanks to the COVID we have nowhere to go, and the car has mostly sat in the garage. But the previous car was riding up the bathtub curve, time to turn it in.

I tried out the new car on some curvy roads, and concluded it takes curves at a speed faster than my personal comfort zone, but it hung in there. Maybe I'm too cautious as a driver, but "not frightening the passengers" is one of my criteria for driving skill, I'd at least like the car to have a setting for taking turns a bit slower.
That’s an important metric for sure, but should we ignore the massive decreases in infant mortality or deaths from hunger, disease, or war?

How did you determine it was generally higher because it appears to be lower in much of Eastern Europe, Asia and Africa?

You don't need to stop complementing, you need to work someplace else

That sounds awful
Great idea. People can usually sense when a compliment is genuine or forced. So sharing your positive thoughts ensures that most things you say are genuine.

I realized that I am biased toward communicating things like feedback or suggestions.

Yet I do have many positive thoughts about others that I keep to myself. I don't know why I do this.
That all depends on the crops. The labor needs or ability to use vertical farms is vastly different between tomatoes, citrus, and corn (for example).

There are still small farms, although they are continuing to die off. But even if farmers are not average, then what work do average people have?
Totally fair, I just don't want to forget how much we've raised the floor in the last 40 years -- from 44% of all humanity in "absolute poverty" to 9.6% is a huge accomplishment.

updown.io is great - simple, reliable and cheap.
Systems should still be able to be taken offline, though, even if that means failure.

For example, let’s say you have a service that uses another service that raised its cost from free to $100/hour and you call it 1000 times per hour.

Even though you may not have a fallback, and your service may fail, you need to be able to disable it. In this case, an admin is unavailable and the only recourse would be to lower the capacity to 0, since you have that control.

That doesn’t negate the benefit of validation, but don’t be too heavy-handed with validation, just as a reaction to failure without fully thinking it through.
