I also wondered if the pipes are also laid out differently in the walls.

But in the 100 days of 100 degrees, reflection of sunlight is obviously helpful, but if people are running A/C down to 70 degrees from ambient 100 degree air temperature then it's the same heat gradient and flow problem.
The world thinks mathematicians are people for whom math is easy. That's wrong.

Relatedly: We convince people that you -- yes, you -- need to sweat and find something burdensome in order to make the big bucks and make the world a better place. We do a poor job of clearly conveying how to add real value and how to capture some portion of that in the form of money in your own pocket.

It actively causes problems for talented people who often think of their talent as something "easy" or fun and wouldn't know how to charge for it or how much to charge for it.

We have all these proxies for providing value -- such as hours worked -- that I think of as "paying you to sweat" rather than paying you to be productive.

I don't know what the solution is but it's something we ought to be more actively working on.

The methods easy for beginners to build small systems and the ways experts use to build complex systems are often so different as to be totally incompatible.

Think about it: It's exceedingly rare to find a language/framework where an early step in learning doesn't include "ok, now throw out everything you've done, here's how we really build real things."
Printing money is paid for by people who hold US currency. More money created means diminished value of existing money.
Honest question: has anybody ever used category theory to solve a practical problem that couldn’t as easily have been solved with simple algebraic reasoning? I have so far read and understood enough category theory to get a feel for whether it is worth spending more time on or not. And my conclusion so far is: nope.
It'd be nice for a legal business to be allowed to have a bank account, no?

TIL that you can apply to speak at conferences. I always thought it was an invite only kind of deal haha. Thanks!
You need an attention detox. Spend a month hiking outdoors. No electronics. When you get back, don’t tell anyone. Start cutting things out of your life. Mostly people. Us too. You don’t need any kind of news. Be thankful everybody else is here so you can google when you need it.
To save time for others who need to look it up - it’s in Italy.
It's 40€ including the old version. The 60€ Prime Evil version also contains Diablo 3 Eternal Collection and some D3 cosmetics.
Lol give me time to respond, I’ve already changed my post ten times.

Jk, I don’t care. Thanks for arguing in good faith, that’s not something that ever happens in this forum, I do appreciate that.

E: Like i said, I do think that unless you explicitly buy the rights to a song, you don’t own it, you’re leasing it. Probably the only reason (judging by music lawyers behavior) to have the ability to a sort of ownership to physical media is because they had no way of stopping you from doing anything you want with your copy. Of course, that’s a different story today, I’m sure given a time machine, that would not have been a precedent.

So that’s why I don’t like the argument from prior precedents, since it would not repeat given current tech.
At one camp where I was a counselor, all the staff had made up names. I guess it was so we wouldn't get tired of hearing our real names. Having worked at several camps as a teen/young adult, I wish all had done this.
Always remember: The next person to maintain it could be you.

Often that kind of view (who cares how it looks) is held by people, who leave and leave a mess for others to maintain.

It's tradeoffs all around. We each get to decide where our personal responsibility begins and ends. As a society we negotiate together in choosing leaders to preserve our way of life.

As people become more educated their positions can change. We don't have to settle for one solution forever or give up just because there isn't absolute agreement.
Again, that is simply not true. The technology already exists. Need a modest rocket that can bring a nuclear reactor to an asteroid and heat up part of its mass as exhaust for a long enough time to deflect it by couple cm/s to maybe 1 m/s.

The only thing you need to do is to be patient. A lot depends on how greedy you are, if you want a smaller one it gets exponentially easier.

Just read this 10 year old report: https://space.nss.org/technologies-for-asteroid-capture-into...
It sounds like the focus on "the Debian way" is the cause for the symptom cataloged by the original article. The Homebrew maintainers are also notoriously picky (and for good reason), but I think it's the open nature of GitHub that has helped it grow so well. I wonder if opening the Debian gates a bit (at least superficially) would help encourage a healthier package ecosystem.
It’s an exaggeration to say it’s a pain point on Mac for most printers. I’m sure some aren’t supported by the standard flow, but that flow is literally “select your printer which is already identified, agree to download a driver and wait a bit”. It’s as painful as installing a web extension if you don’t have to go find it first.
Well, TP did have problems going above 64k and needed modules/codeswapping IIRC to get to 640k.

I hit those limits writing a battletech game in Turbo Pascal.

And not exactly doing optimization...

But yeah, Turbo Pascal really makes you wonder where all the horsepower (LITERALLY 1000x more speed or more with multicore and all the branch prediction, spec exec, ops fusion, out of order exec, etc) is going.

And 4MB ram. That fits in CPU cache and then some!

Library bloat is so out of control.
> You can use RSS feeds to be notified of stories with over N points[1] (or another rule), lessening the desire to look at everything.

Thank you for this tip! HN is one of the only websites I don’t consume via RSS. I had no idea I could customize parameters and do this.

Unfortunately, I’ll still be loading the site to find the rare links that are of high interest to but that get a low number of hits. But this will definitely help me optimize my interaction with the site. Again, thank you.
That sounds like experience we’ll never get if we do not even make the attempt.
The same could be said about alcohol. It’s none of my business what people do in their free time at home, as long as they can safely and effectively do their job when they’re on the clock.
There's a fan community? I was always under the impression that his videos served as glorified ads for consumer tech. The technical insight delivered was skin deep. Didn't he brag about a 20 drive NAS one week only to cry about the raid0 config dying and taking down a lot of their footage the next week?
Yeah, I used to play with my friends back in college the whole night. Old school lan party.
Anyone here only reads nonfiction like me? What am I missing?
It's secondary (even if I'd indirectly benefit from this).

Having cultivation and consumption not harassed by law enforcement is primary. Eliminating the war on drugs overall would be a huge win (and I certainly wouldn't take it as a given).
For example use https://www.cfpland.com/conferences/ to get a list of CFPs (invitations to submit a talk.)
Also, this whitelist can include exactly one (or two) recyclable plastics.
It'll probably remain at least slightly easier to get drugs than alcohol even if/when both are legal to 21+ just because drugs are so much smaller and easier to deal with. A trunk full of Alcohol isn't much but a trunk of any drug is a lot.
I just realized I didn't give credit to all the people who worked on Little. So here goes. Tim Daly did the first pass. Oscar Bonilla stepped up, I still remember him saying to Tim "we need an AST" and Tim said I can do this. We needed an AST, Oscar was right about that and a lot of other things. Rob Netzer, my roommate from college and former Brown tenured prof, he did the most heavy lifting in the Little compiler. Damon Courtney was our GUI guy, he had huge influence in Little.

Jeff Hobbs from the tcl community helped as well. I have pictures of that group of people. Jeff helped a lot, he wanted this, I could say why but I don't want to speak for him.

Little is what I'd like C to be but those guys made it happen.

I'm amazed that Little got some traction, happy that it did for a moment, those guys deserve all the credit, I was a whiny dude wanted a more C like thing and they gave it to me.
That's what I thought too. They are not saying this directly, but what else could they mean?
Nasa has a rich history of extreamly useful spin off technologies which came about as side effects for space travel:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASA_spinoff_technologies#:~....

A more useful one is the extensive of the satellite network which powers our ability to share and collaborate like we are doing now, along with the GPS network allowing us to travel more easily.

I hear you about the enviormental concerns and it's terrible how we are not aware or thoughtful about how all the externalities/problems which are created by new technologies. But to say we should not invest in space tech is a real step in the wrong direction if you care deeply about the environment. Some of the best energy capture technologies will come from our ability to master space travel, as well as the need to understand Terra forming other plants which will help us tackle climate problems here on earth.
What Moderna isn't telling us about their new mRNA Covid-19 vaccine
Eventually, it's not the first step you take though.
The point is that the US had much bigger problems the last time it landed on the moon too.
I just find those timelines hard to believe. We just condensed a 10 year vaccine development and rollout process into 1 year, and that was mostly because of human trials. The reality is that nobody is interested in funding such an effort for fusion.
A perfect answer :-)
> Have you considered that this might cause you to be perceived as a hobbyist?

I don't care. If anyone perceives me as such, then they are just another person that didn't bother to click on the link, and find out more about me. I'm not particularly interested in working with folks like that. I don't hide a thing. Maybe the [0] thing is confusing, so I'll do it inline, this time: https://stackoverflow.com/story/chrismarshall

It's all out there, for anyone that wants to find out. I guess that it's a sign of the times, that no one is willing to do that. I was a manager for a couple of decades, and would have killed for that kind of information. I can't even image hiring an employee, based only on a short schoolboy test.

Of course, that cuts both ways. People may look at my code and articles, and decide they don’t want to work with me, but at least they are making an informed decision.
I don’t think it’s a simple binary thing.

Kids learn conflict resolution and social skills with those of their age and development level.

They learn by seeing others do things. They learn and take interest in things their friends do and emulate them.

They learn to deal with people with different backgrounds. Different authority figures and different approaches to wielding that authority.

Even my 5 year old saw a marked difference from the time she was home and only interacting with her 2 year old brother to when she returned.

She had no interest in art or coloring and when she returned she was very behind others in that category. She took up a lot more interest and effort and has made noticeable gains with things like the fine motor skills to color in the lines, handwriting etc. Us trying to encourage or enforce it was combative. Her brother a distraction and a competitor for attention. Put her in a classroom and she blossomed comparatively. This is only a couple examples. There are so many others.

So yeah. In a way it’s important for parents to put food on the table and earn. But it’s also important from a social perspective to the kids. We are social creatures after all.
That's quite a name! I thought it was a chrome extension at first. Thanks for pointing it out.
Pretty sure he was a pilot or a sea captain. I definitely would not refer to the right hand engine as "starboard engine".
Cloth bags are even better. I can put them into the washing machine if they are dirty, they can be easily stored and so far (I have and use some of both types that are over 10 years old) none of them degraded.
I used excel and word, had windowing operating systems, and databases.

Sure they didn't scale as much or have embedded video, but in terms of "did they do function X"? Yes they all worked fairly well.

The massive horsepower gains are REALLY noticeable in the evolution of games. But outside of that in "productivity"... ye gods we are wasting horsepower to basically do the same crap we used to do.

What is really really exasperating is when any app freezes for multiple seconds. I start counting 4 billion... 8 billion... 12 billion (assuming 4 billion instructions per second). How does that happen with having 1000x the horsepower?

And the RAM we waste these days. Windows ran in 4 MB! And 16GB is too small these days for development?

Moore's law is dying. Software stacks need to start optimizing themselves.

It was my understanding that ULA was a joint alliance rather than an individual company? Isn't it comprised of Boeing and Lockheed Martin among others? Wouldn't Bezos have to buy it from them?
It has nothing to do with aircraft, and everything to do with random chance. Basically, it is more likely for time-series data to have clumps than to be perfectly even.

Imagine you throw a three darts a board. Which is more likely: all darts are equidistant, or 2 of the darts are closer to each other than the 3rd? Now imagine it's 3 events in time rather than 3 darts on a board. And the same logic applies to an arbitrary number of events, of course.
Exchanges don’t just say it; they declare it ;)
That links to distro and community repositories, and the ones that I checked out didn't have v0.24 binaries yet.

The issue is not whether or not they are enforcing. The fact that they can, at any time, for any arbitrary reason (including political speech, which would otherwise be protected) is the issue.

Doing something routinely and openly that is an unenforced federal felony is to voluntarily surrender your constitutional rights under the 1st, 2nd, 4th, and probably others. (Breaking the law openly like this means they can instantly jail you for speech, for protesting, for being inconvenient, for carrying, and obtain a search warrant at any time.)

It is not "effectively legal", any more than driving 9mph over the limit is. It's just not enforced: it's still a huge felony.

That wasn't an assumption or knee-jerk reaction. Apple went on record as saying other operating systems wouldn't boot on Apple Silicon. Admittedly there's enough vagueness that they didn't 100% rule it out completely, but I think it was a fair interpretation of what they said at the time.

Craig Federighi said this when talking to John Gruber:

"We're not direct booting an alternate operating system, it's... purely virtualization is the route. But these hypervisors can be very efficient, so the need to direct boot shouldn't be the concern."

Thanks for elevating the discussion.
Like most things in software, it's ultimately just people and collaboration problems. I should be careful not to paint Debian in too bad of a light because ultimately it's what the people involved make it--good or bad. It's just that historically Debian enthusiasts have gravitated towards a lot of bad, old gatekeeping mindsets that have really made it difficult for the broader Linux community to grow. For example I think back to all the drama with the early days of Ubuntu and how many in the Debian community were vehemently against the idea that someone make a distro that's easier for people to use.
Implies a level of stability greater than getting to the "press enter for sh" prompt. Virtual memory is working, filesytems are working, etc.
Let's not forget the millions and millions of American lives totally destroyed by this, too: often the most vulnerable people in our society, most in need of care and protection.

America imprisons its ethnic minorities in inhumane conditions at a rate 17x greater than China, per capita, even counting China's 1M+ re-education camps. (China has A LOT of people, but the war on drugs has imprisoned a WHOLE LOT of American minorities.)
It collapsed, yes, but out of its ashes rose Russia. And they still have all those nuclear missiles.

I would agree with you if you replaced every "investing" word with "speculating" or "gambling". Otherwise what else am I suppose to do with my money but invest it? Leave it in the bank so they can profit off of it? There are entire categories of equity with variable degrees of risk, and a lot of them won't make me "lose every cent" in any situation but the end of the world.
If the technological advancement is funded by a private entity (whether or not for a profit motive, there needs to be no such justification). If it's public sector you need to at least come up with some public benefit excuse for it, jobs program is a bit of a steel man for the political funding of a science program. If you want your science to be free of that entanglement you should be figuring out how to fund more things like Glynn research ltd.

I think he meant to say Bitcoin is as real as fiat money to exchange things.

Fiat money is valuable because other people think it’s valuable.
It's good to be reminded what we actually agree to. I find mp3 purchasing kind of hairy because it is certainly presented as a "buy" transaction rather than a lease. This is also true of video games and app stores, and then we get into fun situations where your google account gets banned for some reason and you lose, with no refund, all the apps you bought... I feel like the harm is great!

I am also sympathetic to the "creators'" perspective. How can you make a profit if people take whatever you made without compensation? I think part of my cynicism here is that the recording industry has long exaggerated and argued in poor faith about what the harm of a download is - conflating downloads with lost sales at a 1:1 rate, which... isn't quite right. And their approach for securing things can be problematic, I remember having a hell of a time with iTunes back with their DRM solution, hating that I couldn't just play the song I had paid for. If only I'd pirated from the start...

I think there's some axes along which things could be improved - the convenience axis - can I even buy (access to) the song without jumping through hoops? Can I pay to skip ads on whatever platform I'm using? How many different accounts do I need to get access to the music I'd like?

Edit: Agreed, I think if they can get away with having control at all times with the music you have available, they will... and it's hard for me to decide whether there will be backlash or just general acceptance in the same vein as the rest of the walled garden trends we've seen over the years.

What's the to-go platform to host a forum?
I have been a long-time user of a comic books forum that unfortunately decided some time ago to migrate to Tapatalk. I now hate even clicking on the forum's link because of the ads, pop-ups, etc. of the Tapatalk format.

I am trying to convince the other users of the forum to migrate to another platform and I was wondering if there is a clear winner between all the open source platforms out there, such as phpbb, discourse, etc.

Unfortunately this one seems to just change the casing of the title and then grabs a frame from the video to use for the thumbnail. I find that the thumbnail at least sometimes contains something useful whereas this may be counterproductive.

With YouTube you can hover over the video thumbnail and see a short preview of the video play so that aspect is already kinda covered by YouTube itself.

It's definitely getting closer to what I was talking about but unfortunately falls short.
I do realize that. However, in the case of 0ad, they do not require such a CLA. Rather their website has this to say:

> By sending in a patch, you agree that it is your own work (or else make it clear where it came from) and agree to licensing any code as GPL 2+ (or in some cases MIT, especially for code in lib/ - check the existing copyright headers on the source files you edit) and data files as CC-BY-SA 3.0.
Because it really doesn't work -- one payment channel works, but that only allows balance reconciliation between two parties (which isn't terribly useful). Lightning aims to construct a routing network from individual channels and there is where things go awry. The channels on each side of a node must be kept in balance. That turns out to be non-trivial to achieve. Today there is no "visa scale" traffic on Lightning. So what you say is both questionable from a theoretical perspective, and certainly not proven in practice yet.
"By Design" is a bit much. Debian loves people putting things in .deb files. There is a purposeful barrier to putting things in the main archive, but nobody wants there to be any barriers around tooling.

And I'll offer a defence of that barrier - Debian isn't about making an operating system. It is very explicitly making a free operating system. Listening to one Q&A session after a Stallman speech was more than enough to show me that there are a lot of capable developers out there who just don't get the idea of free. While those developers are a mighty force for good they need to be kept away from the Debian main archive. It isn't a place for them. They can go start their own project (eg: Ubuntu, Mint).
