I think it is a matter of development time/resources.

One issue is that HN is not really open source. Although there was an open source release years ago, the current code base is an evolution of that and closed. It then comes down to how much time/money Y Combinator is willing to invest in enhancing it, and I assume more essential stuff takes priority over nice-to-haves like dark mode.

I think, ideally, the current version could be open sourced, and then people could contribute PRs to add stuff like dark mode. I think dang has said before that the reason why they don't do that, is they don't want to expose certain "secret sauce" (abuse/spam detection, voting code, etc), since if the algorithms were exposed people would exploit them.

I guess one solution would be to split the code base into open core and closed plugins, open source the core and then keep the secret sauce in the closed plugins. But, I guess that would take time to carry out that refactoring, which comes back to the issue of limited development time/resources and what priorities that will be spent on.
Is there a reader which shows all links in a thread? I like to collect links from HN and currently thinking of making a chrome extension for this. Later I plan to play with API to draw a graph/tree with a threads as nodes and see linked pages and threads.
That doesn't seem very plausible: fundamentally all accessible sunlight hits the ground somewhere or other (until we start talking about space mirrors and things like that), so while you can use mirrors to concentrate sunlight (as solar thermal plants do) you can't really beat collecting x amount of solar radiation from y square meters of ground. You can build a tall structure that collect the sunlight hitting the side of it, but obviously that's going to block said sunlight from a correspondingly large area of ground in its shadow; at extreme latitudes where the sunlight mostly comes in sideways you get more concentrated sunlight that way (at the cost of an even bigger shadow), but I doubt it'd be worth the overhead.

Indeed; native Hacker News UI is my favorite experience on the web when it comes to discussion. I also enjoy the old Reddit stylesheets. Something about these two designs and their predictability is a joy to use. It's ironic since I love developing front end UI, yet the experiences I enjoy using more are often the most trivial.
Interesting. While “op de stoep staan” is a very common expression nobody knows it’s actually about those stairs in front of a house.
Psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy produces sustainable antidepressant effects
1. Like every other surface, or the sidewalk in front of your house, you do have to maintain it. If it's not cigarette butts it's bird shit or leaves or slush or what have you. (Sidewalk cleaning is the responsibility of the property owner in NYC, or at least snow shoveling is.)

2. How much of a problem is this in 2020 NYC? The Bloomberg-era anti-smoking campaigns really did a number of smoking rates, and the very high cigarette tax also did a number. Smoking rates have declined to about 5% of girls, 7% of boys, 9% of women and 17% of men, from a 1997 baseline of 20-23% for all of these groups. [1]

Mirrors can neither increase photosynthetic efficiency nor reflect more light than they receive, so to get an equivalent amount of light you'd need a massive structure of mirrors the size of the fields you replace. There might be some clever optimizations possible, but between cooling to keep the plants from burning and occlusion from nutrient delivery systems, it'd be a very large net loss once capital costs are figured in

> timonoko: Reminds me some old book collections in Pirate Bay. They had all famous authors and then one or two really shitty books from some unknown never-published writer. This self-promotion technique seems to work somewhat, because one Swede eventually published and thanks to native English editors the book was not so bad anymore.

This comment sounds like an insinuation that someone or I have deceptively added my own website to this list. I apologize if that is not the case. However, let me clarify the criteria I used to select the websites. I initially took the list of websites already available from https://1mb.club/, https://512kb.club/, and https://250kb.club/, and then fed them to a script to select the websites that consume less than 10 KB compressed transfer size and that have received at least 100 upvotes on Hacker News.

Later I relaxed the rules to include upvotes on Reddit and Lobsters in the eligibility criteria. There is no self-promotion going on here. Doing so and especially insinuating that others are doing so would be taking this tiny project too seriously. Indeed there are many who rightfully argue that keeping a website under N KB (for arbitrarily chosen N) is not an interesting goal by itself. This is just a hobby project made for fun over a weekend because https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25176794.

Disclosure: My own website is on this list.

One idea for you then: I think it's not rare to see a link from a thread, or a related link, show up in its own submission soon after. Maybe linking those would be nice too.
Wow. I am so surprised that this could happen
I'm sorry, it was a mistake. You're not counting it twice, it is indeed a figure just for storage, with the assumption of daily cycling.

If we use the ratio of the plant (i.e. 200 MWh storage for 720 MWh generation at a 30% capacity factor), that would leave us with (81-140 * 0.27) + 29-38 for the generation, for a total cost of $51-76/MWh.

But that's still based around the idea of cycling the storage daily. Solar performs poorly on cloudy days, so you can either overbuild it significantly, build days of storage instead of hours, or keep the old power plants around as backup. Either of the three is going to bump up that cost significantly.

It blows coal out of the water if you don't have to worry about days you're not producing power, but you can't build a grid around that. And coal is mostly being eaten by natural gas for price reasons anyway.

Did you factor in a discount rate with your back of the napkin math? It might explain why the purchase price looks so high.
Author here. That's not an inherent limitation. See https://justine.lol/apelife/index.html for an example of a GUI + TUI that's built using Cosmopolitan. The reason why I said what you quoted, is I'm simply trying to calibrate expectations. I don't view desktop GUIs as a productive area of focus, because there's such a lack of consensus surrounding the APIs that requires, and web browsers do a great job.

As for sizeof(long) it's 64-bit with Cosmopolitan, which uses an LP64 data model. That hasn't impacted its ability to use the WIN32 API. See https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan/tree/master/libc/nt where WIN32 API functions are declared using uint32_t, int64_t, etc. It works great. I compile my Windows apps on Linux and it feels wonderful to not have to touch MSVC. Cosmopolitan even takes care of the chore of translating your UTF-8 strings into UTF-16 when polyfilling functions like open() which delegates to CreateFile() on Windows.
One downside of stoops is the existence of the stairs, which presents an additional burden if

- you are carrying anything big, bulky, or heavy, like groceries or a stroller

- it is snowing or raining or freezing, in which case the stairs become slick and quite dangerous

- you have issues with mobility; you may be old, pregnant, or have lost mobility due to either something temporary (requiring the use of crutches) or permanent

And some people deal with multiples of these issues. These are issues in most housing forms (most houses have some kind of steps) but NYC-style stoops can run much larger than a typical modern set of steps, where there are probably only two or three from the path to the door.
The sentence following the one that you quoted is the defense, perhaps you should argue against that instead?

"Scientists have confirmed links between PFOA exposure and a variety of serious diseases, including kidney cancer, testicular cancer, ulcerative colitis, thyroid disease, and pregnancy-induced hypertension. And more recent studies are now raising concerns that some of these forever chemicals may negatively impact our endocrine system, our fertility, and our immune system – and possibly even the efficacy of vaccines."

A few moments spent checking out links to some of the issues mentioned above reveals enough 'actual information' to sink a boat. We can then make up our own minds as to whether the author is exaggerating. I vote for 'not'.
Projections or thought experiments are not "leaps".

Perhaps you missed the top of this thread and lost track of what this conversation is even about?

If web apps can take the place of apps (and in broad strokes, yes they can) then the thought experiment is to ask "What if all apps became web apps?"

And that was just part of evaluating the plausibility of the position that Apple doesn't care about collecting fees from web apps.

Not sure what your point is calling gcc both ‘awful’ and ‘so fast overall’. Nor why you're conflating gcc and glibc.

FWIW my experience has been has clang produces a superior development experience for c++ code, but that gcc is better for c. Llvm does have a more modular architecture than gcc, but it's not really fair to say that it's more modern overall. Gcc has gotten several features ahead of llvm, like hot/cold LTO separation and parallel compilation (the former is now in llvm and the latter apparently is impractical due to architectural problems).

> The compilers are only good for short memcpy's. For the rest the asm hinders modern compiler optimizations

Also not sure what you mean by that. TFA isn't performing memcpys with inline assembly. They're using inline assembly to perform a call to the exact same ‘memcpy’ function you would have called anyway, but also to inform the compiler that memcpy clobbers fewer functions. So it's true that this will mainly improve performance for copies of small memory regions; but the performance of large copies will be unaffected.

For all things done too purely and cleanly, is there a hidden harm/cost in being too pure and clean? Do we miss out something useful which could have otherwise been a part of it in only a natural environment?

As a farmer, you can always choose not to use these methods, stay with your traditional way. As you can do in the west also, even in the EU with all its rules and regulations.

And the impact of these grants is overrated. A billion in the whole of Africa is a drop in the ocean. It is more of an experiment really, to see if technology can help, but the problems there are deeply political.
It seems to me that the position this article characterizes as the "agribusiness" side is clearly correct. Many countries have effectively ended starvation, and all of them did so by replacing most small scale farming farming with industrial agriculture. No country has ended starvation without this replacement.

So while AGRA may have issues, and the article does suggest a few, I'm very confident that a plan to keep most people stuck as low-productivity subsistence farmers will be worse. No strategy for "distribution of power resources and control over agricultural inputs" will overcome the fundamental problem that a nonindustrialized farm of staple crops produces too little value to keep a family fed and happy.
Wow, that’s a weak paper. A slight tweak on the WTA autoencoder? It’s embarrassing they are now trying to do deep learning. What happened to biological plausibility?
> They then sell them to rich people who pay 5x for taste and the feeling of eating local.

I don't know anything about farming, but this is exactly what the first version of a true innovation usually looks like. First versions of everything, from iron weapons that bent on the battlefield, to computers that took a room, almost always were more expensive and worse than existing alternatives. These first version occupied weird niches, for example where existing alternatives were not available (as trade of tin and copper broke down after bronze age collapse) or were just toys for rich people (like first mobile phones and many, many other things).

But unlike existing alternatives, they only started their cycle of scaling and optimisations.

Suffice it to say that the Enterprise solution of CyberArk Password Vault might be tolerable for a pure Windows shop, I believe that it is most unwelcome in a mixed platform shop. I deal with it as little as possible. I’m sure it ticks all the boxes that the security guys and bean counters want, but it is most unpleasant to deal with at the pointy end of the stick.

Amazon-style hardware tokens work really well, in my experience. But they can’t be used for shared or vaulted password solutions.

> Sure this paper introduces the concept of modules in software back when modules were non-existent.

No... that's not correct. The very first non-clerical page quotes from a textbook discussing modular systems, and Parnas himself notes a distinct lack of material on how to actually organize and break down the system into modules.

The paper is literally called "On the criteria to be used in decomposing systems into modules."

It is prudent to at least read the preexisting material if you are going to dismiss it.

> At best it can be "Assumed" that logic is true.

What exactly gives you the right to do that? And why is your reason any better than a different one provided by someone else who wants to argue the opposite?

> Replace "assume" with "pretend" it's the same thing.

We've now turned science into dogma. At what point do we then need to become aware that we're pretending? Surely there comes a point where pretending costs us epistemic legitimacy. Where is that point? And what response do we offer to an interlocutor who insists the earth is flat and our logical deduction of it's spherical shape is "pretend"?

> Sure but this can only be done in conjunction with logic. If you observe evidence and the evidence leads to a conclusion the "leading to a conclusion" is done through logic.

> If I observed a pig, then pigs exist by logic. If logic wasn't real then the observation doesn't imply pigs exist.

Both of these statements are nonsensical and are debunked in the Critique of Pure Reason.

> Getting deeper into this dives into paradoxes which are ultimately uninteresting dead ends to me because it's unresolvable.

I have a feeling we're dealing with a small bit of motivated reasoning with respect to interestingness here.

The idea that book value is insufficient to value a company is decades old. I remember learning about it during the first few weeks of business school.

The author's statement that goodwill gets expensed immediately is incorrect, as can be verified by consulting any introductory accounting textbook. (The whole point of goodwill is to make sure that an acquisition doesn't have an immediate impact on today's reported income. So expensing goodwill immediately would defeat the purpose.)

The chart showing how enterprise value is comprised of tangible and intangible assets confused me. There's nothing that says enterprise value (market value of the company's stock, plus debt) must equal the sum of intangible+tangible assets, and it's actually pretty unlikely.
What about sweet potatoes? I'm guessing the argument is that it's not necessary because we have the available land. They can however be grown in stacked levels of soil layered with grow lights. You could very easily potentially have a skyscraper filled stacked and growing sweet potatoes.

Tesla Model 3 is 195 490 zł here.

For comparison the best selling new car was Toyota Corolla for 80 000 zł.

But the real bestselling cars are for over a decade the same - 5-10 year old VW Passat Combi from western Europe for 10-50 000 zł.

For 200 000 zł you can have a single-room flat in a big city and rent it out for considerable passive income. 2 such flats and you can live out of that (not very luxuriously but still).

That's why Tesla is considered a luxury car here. Most people drive cars worth less than 10% of a new Model 3.
I’m willing to pay the extra cost, just to avoid the horrible commercials.

For now, at least.

This paper introduces their SDR concept by applying it to deep learning and demonstrating similar results with improved speed and power efficiency.

They are not trying to do deep learning at all. In fact, it's the opposite. They are trying to say "deep learning is not the right model" but without explicitly saying it which would surely get everyone to just dismiss them right off the bat.
