Check the style difference between "The God of Small Things" vs "No Great Mischief" both best sellers, very different styles.
Yes they can!
But it's unlikely they would all do it at the same time.
There are other languages out there.

From Microsoft itself, F**, F#, VB.NET, C#, Sing#, System C#, Managed C++, C++/CLI, Cω, Axum, and who knows what else they have done internally.

From Microsoft partners, COBOL, Eiffel, Ada, Fortran.

From FOSS community and university researchers, not so much because it is M$ and better not use Mono because of patents, so was the saying.
Please don't, a 2yr old kid should basically play and have fun imho, there's so much time to experience the absolute misery of mathematical frustration.
Somebody's buying enough licenses to keep them in business. You either find a computer algebra system useful for what you do or you don't. My needs are pretty simple and Wolfram Alpha works well for me when I need something like that. Better than GNU Maxima, which I also like.

Stephen Wolfram made his early reputation in part by being one of the first people to seriously use Macsyma for physics. No, I don't know any physicists that take A New Kind of Science that seriously, but that's a different story.

Jupyter is hot, but it's not novel. The Mathematica notebook interface was an innovation and is still best-in-class in my opinion.
Grains and root vegetables are generally far easier to store and transport and keep from rotting than leafy greens, herbs, etc.

I'm most interested in tech like this as a tool for minimizing food waste. Your lettuce won't wilt and rot while it is sitting on the shelf if it is still alive.
I saw that one time high (as in feet above sea level) on Mt. Lassen (N. California). The sky was full of little sparkly web-strands; it was very cool.
Primarily because it is easier compared to compiling binaries for different OSs. It is quicker to get something simple running and share it with others.
This is not as distributed as you might believe.

The content itself is distributed, which creates privacy challenges of its own, but control over that content is centralized. If we want automatic updates of the index, we're still relying on a single party to provide them. That single party might respond to DMCAs, remove/censor content etc.
Statutory law over-rides common law, however. If Congress passed a law explicitly overriding any of those, those would cease to exist.
Looking at the holistic picture (as anyone implementing an entire browser must), it's probably a stretch to say they're "designed" at all – web standards are a patchwork of almost archaeological layers built up over several decades. Even many deprecated bits must still be implemented to support the millions of websites users will want to visit. Backwards compatibility is hard :-/
As a formal Red Hat packager, I am quite happy to see this change. Before I could not use RHEL to run my side project, but now I can!

Also 16 is actually not a small number, people with Kubernetes orchestration sometimes forget how much you can run on a single machine :).

I am even considering adding and marketing RHEL for my book[0] since the difference is just the registration.

Speaking of which, if you use Vagrant, have a look at vagrant-registration. It can register your box automatically (I am the original author).

Like... sorta? On the other hand, they went on the record saying that they would support CentOS 8 through 2029 [0], so I think it's reasonable to be unhappy with them for going back on that even in the absence of a monetary relationship.

Once vertical farming can tackle rice, wheat, corn, and potatoes, then I will be more excited about it.
> Given that this request was completely fraudulent, no matter your take on whether youtube-dl itself is legal the project itself is not an unauthorized post of copyright material, doesn't this give groups like the RIAA a free pass to do whatever they want until someone challenges them?

The takedown request didn't claim the project was an unauthorised post of copyright material. It claimed it was a DRM circumvention measure, and US law is sufficiently vague on that matter it really can't be said definitively one way or another if that's correct unless someone is willing to litigate it.

Nobody does, in this case. Certainly, describing the request as "completely fraudulent" is wrong. It may or may not have been valid, but the legislation is sufficiently vague in most of the US and Europe that it's entirely possible this could go to court and the RIAA would win.
There are technologists outside of SV?

(Kidding)

Having worked in technology in the Midwest, the Pacific Northwest, and SV as well as working regularly with (and at) teams on the East coast, in the south, Japan, Taiwan, China, India, Europe, the UK (it ain't Europe now!), I've found this tendency of those in technology, and especially software, to discount the complexity and systematization of other fields, disproportionately common.

I was well and truly familiar with the classic "why don't you just..." way of speaking before I'd ever even visited the bay. Similarly, I'd witnessed (and participated in) mocking of domain-specific jargon when I was younger, and I see it still today.

It's not data, but my experience in the space strongly supports the suggestion that a dismissive, reductive, and aloof posture is quite common in tech. It's one reason that I regularly tell team members that engineers should be professional pessimists, especially about themselves and their ignorance.
Business commitment to much of anything tends to stop there. That's what businesses are about.

You'd need an entire farm.

A: With both you have to punch the information in.
It's not a concern but just an observation that things in universe in Ubuntu get rarely if at all backports. It's okay. I agree about having a company especially regarding timely security updates.
I think you mean "at will" not "right to work". The former being an employer's ability to dismiss you, the latter about the not being required to be in a union.

But your larger point still stands
Not at all. The farmland is highly unlikely to be used for any other purpose.

We're trying to make an apples-to-apples comparison here, not moral judgments.
The takeover sounds weird at first, but https://www.opera.com/gx is actually probably a good idea.

Mainstream browsers like Chrome are generic those days and believe they deserve 100% CPU, RAM and network. Innovation in UI/UX have been stagnant with little changes. Most development is about APIs and other internals. Anything that will have impact on less than 2B users is not prioritized / not worth the effort. And doing significant changes for 2B users is risky.

Meanwhile Opera takes a market niche, bundles multiple things to target this market niche and improve their UX considerably.

The browser is user agent but the market leaders sometimes forget it. Then smaller players show up and often come with some really nice things.
On nearly any comment section on this website that gains any meaningful traction about a field outside of tech.
>Checkout the XMPP Bridge that matrix.org hosts.

Is there a description of how to generate an address on the other network? This sounds awesome. A working bridge gets a Matrix user access to the tens of thousands of federated XMPP servers.
That's a good point. Any social media that doesn't pair you up with random strangers is going to put you in a bit of a bubble because you choose who you're going to hang out with, both online and in real life.
The main appeal of this to me is the whatsapp part. If I can reliably self host this and get rid of whatsapp on my phone, replacing it with an open source app then that's awesome
I would imagine there is considerable intersection between people who say Duchampian with people who say Orwellian, Freudian, or Kafkaesque. It seems to me a fairly normal English construction.
Nice for Google to block the project that wrote the origins of their browser engine.
> since you seem to be of the position that the "more centrist faction of the Democratic Party" is not Left.

It's not.

Also, neoliberalism was the economic ideology of the dominant faction of the Republican Party prior to Trump, too, and few would call them “the Left". (There were differences in social ideology, of course, between Republicans and Democrats.) Hence the “neoliberal consensus” of the 1990s and beyond.
I don't have any hard evidence, sorry. I've also never spent any significant amount of time in SV or engaging with SV culture (besides this website).

What I have is anecdotes and idle thoughts: most of my STEM peers were laser focused on their majors and avoided the humanities (and even other STEM topics) like the plague. The university I went to enabled and even encouraged this, since it makes their alumni statistics look great and kept the four-year-graduation-to-tech-job machine well-oiled.

I have a difficult time assigning immediate blameworthiness when talking about this: it's frustrating to hear tech people disregard things just because they fail to adapt them, but it strikes me as a failure of education rather than a solely personal failure.
Could that be because we don't yet have a carbon offset cost for transportation? I recognize that the actual cost would be controversial and mostly subjective, but I always wonder about how many things are 'free' or nearly just because there are otherwise hidden costs elsewhere (such as the environment).
Most of the examples in the articles are grocery stores. The one restaurant mentioned looks like a burger joint, an upscale one, but a burger joint nonetheless. The gap between a whole foods vs a stop n shop is not that large, certainly nothing like the gap between a mcdonalds and a black tie restaurant.

If this reduces our carbon footprint and gives us fresher food as a bonus I'm all for it.
Exactly. As an example, WASPs don't do that because they're too "nice," but will tell you about their prejudices if they trust you. They're fundamentally dishonest while wearing the lipstick of civility. (I'm mostly white, but I distrust and am embarrassed by many whites.)

The lemonade from the lemons is when people reveal themselves, it makes the self-selecting associations easier and saves you time, like you said.

More love, less hate. Namaste.

Wrt. the original post there is also another correlation - vitamin D insufficiency is more prevalent in African American and Latin populations and those populations are more seriously affected by Covid.

Also i think genetic predisposition to vitamin D that the original post uses doesn't matter much (until it hits pathological edges of course) because daily exposure to Sun would be more important factor than genetic predisposition.
Hello Elon is that you?

Rich text editors to dumbdown to markdown seems like a pretty good educational pathway to me.

I'm very excited about this. This isn't going to replace farms anytime soon, but there's a pretty solid economic niche for it within the food choices that customer preference justifies today.

The best argument for this method of food production is by looking at criticism of existing food production.

https://www.consumerreports.org/pesticides-in-food/stop-eati...

Reading stuff like this is truly, deeply, depressing. In our modern lives, we are supposed to eat lots of vegetables (which we don't), but we're also supposed be picky about which ones we get. Just the thought of that is exhausting.

Also lookup salmonella outbreaks. How, you might ask, does salmonella get into lettuce? You will probably be grossed out to hear the answer.

Vertical farms offer consumers several things which are almost impossible to come by otherwise. This is extraordinarily good to have for market entry.

Higher energy use is a strike, but you have to consider the whole picture. I definitely think there's a place for this, the benefits that offset higher energy intensity are very substantive.
To be honest it broke my heart a bit when they where sold to IBM. But hey there is SLES and in my opinion a much better option with the free tumbleweed, leap and the paid SLES and all the free services like OBS, openQA and Kiwi....and no i don't use BTRF...XFS all the way down ;) But if i have the freedom to choose the solution it nearly always choose is FreeBSD, one exception...OracleDB where i use OracleLinux.
That trucking process means getting produce optimized for transport, rather than produce optimized for flavor. The costs are not only in dollars, but in quality.
It's a standard example of why non-correlation doesn't mean independence.
Wow. This one simple trick actually just made my day. Cheers.
Can someone explain the language phenomenon of referring to a set of people as "uncles and aunties"? I've ubiquitously heard this from expats and students from east Asian countries, and according to this article it seems to be normal usage in India as well.

In Russian (and various other languages of Eastern Europe), "uncle" and "aunt" can be used to address a stranger on the street. It comes off as a bit intimate or even childish. It doesn't suggest that the person you're addressing is related to you. If you don't know the name to address someone by, it's less brutish than the alternatives, "hey man" and "hey lady."

For example, in the greatest work of Russian literature (The Twelve Chairs), the main character enters the scene pursued by a street urchin who keeps asking him, "Uncle, gimme ten cents!" The urchin earns the immortal reply, perhaps the best-known line in all of modern prose: "Maybe you also want the keys to the apartment where the money is?"

But this "aunties" and "uncles" seems to be different. I get a sense that it suggests a circle of doting busybody relatives who dance around you all day to attend to your whims as the baby of the family. Or something like that. What does it mean?
One more question... How am I supposed to come up with that list? I was googling extensively and skimmed through both Beaker's docs and Hyper FAQ. They are friendly towards creators, but I didn't see a word about exploring self-published stuff.
Sure, this supports better bubbles. Sex workers and evangelicals will be nicely separated from each other, so will be Nazis and Jews.
As an artist, and one of the many who studied Duchamp in school, I love these. But I wonder if they aren’t potentially endangering the FedEx workers who transport them. Is there not some danger of getting a shard of glass sticking through the box?

The obvious Duchamp reference here by the way is not to his readymades but to his Large Glass:

Yep, Comcast instituted a cap in my area. $10/1GB over, if I remember the "agreement I didn't sign" correctly.

Edit to add: I've blown the cap in a 2 week period. It is ridiculous
Because this is hacker news, no Indian aunty uncle are here. To see it go to local twitter, fb, whatsapp local groups. That "IT army" can be seen everywhere and whoever says it's mythical clearly belongs to that army or don't live in India.
Not only that, but while there's no LINEAR correlation, there's a perfect non linear function that any half-credible scientist would identify.
Brave also started out this way—building a browser on top of Electron. [0]

Building something on top of the Chromium project is still building a browser. You're right that it's not building a rendering engine and JavaScript interpreter though.

>. It claimed it was a DRM circumvention measure

The takedown notices do not apply to DRM circumvention measures, only copyright material.

I agree it's completely possible that a court case could rule against youtube-dl, but the only method for taking down a DRM circumvention tool is to get a court order.
I would be curious as to the look/comment ratio

Some people would - but many wouldn't, bitcoins outsized value is almost entirely due to speculators who wouldn't otherwise invest in it if transacting it was illegal.
The thing is we can’t rely on good governance over the data, even if we accept the premise that the government could govern better (uphold laws) with that information.

Unfortunately we know from history that the propensity to misuse or go beyond original intent is too great and alluring, if not to the designers, to people who follow them in office.
This is a fantastic call out of the caveats of the study and makes me realize that a more accurate title would have been to say that genetic predisposition for higher/lower levels of Vitamin D don't appear to be associated with Covid severity.
Exactly.

I'm an instance admin and set moderation rules that appropriate for me and my users. If I do a bad job of it, those users are free to go to another instance with policies that they like better. As a result, I don't have to make some one-size-fits-all monster that pleases no one.

Yup. Any article about this type of thing needs to include calorie math. How many calories can you grow per installation / sqft / acre / etc.
I would say "It's best to keep politics and any potential activism private, even if we happen to agree, out of a respect for professionalism."
It depends on the context, you wouldn't say "I read an Orwellian novel" when talking about 1984.

Duchamp's readymade and Duchampian readymade don't mean the same thing. A skilled imitator could create a Duchampian readymade, but it wouldn't be Duchamp's work.

Step one is to quit your day job.

Step two is to put in ~12 hours a day, 7 days a week of work into homesteading.

Step three is to dip on your savings to buy farming equipment, consumable inputs, and groceries for the remaining half of your food that you won't be able to grow yourself.

If you'd like to try before you buy, my parents' homestead up in Canada could always use another pair of hands. Money's a bit tight, but they can pay you with food and a couch to sleep on. You'll have to share the room with ~15-30 baby chicks, though. You'll quickly get used to the smell.

I understand that this won't give you a vertical garden, but unlike a vertical garden, it will go most of the way to meeting your daily caloric and nutritional needs.
Same. I've got a couple thousand users, and on average get a moderation request every other month or so.
Okay, but then none of the actual artists are making iconic logos day after day either, and when they make any at all, it's not from some artistic genius that us philistines could never understand, it's because they make a ton of variants and then a whole crew of marketers refines and A/B tests it before settling on "the" icon.
Advocating for even more centralization isn't necessarily more productive. I'd love for someone to manage a mirror of all github repos in a place that is less likely to face these kinds of legal jeopardies.

Why not try to direct people toward that, rather than direct them towards crossing their fingers and hoping the lone company wins the fight?
> some instances ask you questions to verify that you are local or know the local language or something, something Facebook and Twitter could never do

Some neighborhood groups on Facebook do ask you hyperlocal questions before you can join. It's up to the moderators to decide the joining criteria.
Agreed, but I still don't see how that's relevant to the Vitamin D/Covid severity correlation question. Presumably you aren't modeling either of the associated parameters with random variables that can be negative, and so even if one were a non linear function of the other, the linear correlation wouldn't be zero?

However much you may dislike the particular individuals that trump has pardoned, he has used the pardon in a much more restrained way than Obama, who gave an order of magnitude more. So far, the pardon power is still a net good.
A dumb alternative to Markdown is plain text.
This is not so obvious to me. I don't think the evidence supports your claim that its "major use is corruption." The vast majority of pardons seem to be entirely unrelated to corruption.
This math has already been done.

Even if you figured the carbon offset cost, transporting agriculture still beats out all of these alternatives by a lot.

The math is only becomes slightly favorable to the subset of plants with high water content and lower sunlight tolerance. You can grow tomatos at nearly break-even. A diverse set of agriculture that can sustain people with balanced diets? Not a chance.
Well, no. iMessage protocol was reverse engineered, but they patched it and make really hard to do crypto part of it. Hard enough that people stopped trying - after all you still required an existing registration from Apple's device and there was no guarantee it stops working again.

What they do is run ichat2json every time there is a new message in a folder and AppleScript to send outgoing messages. It requires a macOS with already authenticated Messages.app.

It's not using any unofficial APIs, it's just a wrapper around iMessage client on a mac.
