> That amount of energy can't be found in renewable sources only.

1.) overall humanity is still very inefficient at extracting productivity & comfort from energy. e.g. there is no inherent reason why buildings should need any energy flow to stay at a comfortable temperature. GP did not argue against reducing energy needs but against trying to make people reduce their quality of life.

2.) even at the current consumption I'm not so sure that 10Bn people could not be sustained. there's a hell of a lot of energy incident by the sun, it's just a matter of storing it where we have scaling issues. a whole bunch of battery tech ideas could help with that.

Overall I don't think we're that far from mass producing net energy positive houses (solar roof + industrial battery + near perfect isolation through e.g. low pressure zone in a double wall system). Inhabitants could either sell their energy on the market or use it for their transport needs.
From my experience it's much faster. Just the tiny fraction of a second that it takes me to look at my caps lock key to verify that it's not on takes longer than my fingerprint scan and at that point I haven't even typed a single letter yet :)

Also it's arguably not the fastest combination of characters I can type, because my password is not "test1234" and I don't get much opportunity to type it at all anymore since everything can be unlocked via TouchID except the terminal, or so I thought at least :)
Microsoft rebranded MSN to Lync, Skype and finally to Teams.

AIM could have rebranded with the right product team behind it.
This is amazing -- but every. single. update. disables it again

Why does the sudo file not persist between updates? This case is quite minor for personal computers, but what about companies that log in with yubikeys or smart cards? Do they have to reconfigure after every update too?
>> The mega-constellation sweet spot ... multiple planes in a single launch.

Mega-constellations are exactly the type of project that doesn't need multiple planes. They require multiple sat in each plane, meaning one rocket full of small sats can go to one plane and dump them all. I suspect something has been lost in translation. I think they mean to say that the relightable engines will allow access to different altitudes on a single launch, multiple orbits within a single plane.
Even if those rumors are true (and no one has ever seen fit to publish them, so there's that) it wasn't just a single executive that killed AIM, it was multiple points of failure, including keeping it ad-free, which meant it pretty much existed outside AOL's revenue ecosystem, out on its own. And when Appelman & team released their open source version, that was akin to declaring a mutiny at anti-OSS AOL.

Products need internal champions, without which, it doesn't take a conspiracy to kill them, they will just atrophy on their own.
Regarding this example, which variable could do with being longer? It seemed fine to me!
Architecturally Significant Requirements
I usually just `sudo nano` it, works fine
Unfortunately it's not a solved problem. I envy Google Photos features, wanted something that nicely present the photos but I end up just using Nextcloud's phone app or web interface. Both can generate nice sharing links with expire dates, which is quite useful because it cleans up after itself. I eyed Piwigo for a time, but it's overkill for my use case.
Could say the same thing about iOS, and this is a silly UX complaint anyway. Apple could easily offer or require some purposeful interaction using mouse/keyboard along with Face ID and it'd still be a nicer UX.
If I remember rightly, this only works with the lid open.
Throwaway because I don't want my co-workers to know.

I was poor. My father left home when I was a kid in middle school. My mom worked part time cleaning houses and left us when she found a new husband. I dropped out of high-school in the 9th grade and went to work. Low paying jobs. I lived with my aunt on the bad side of town.

Fast-forward 35 years. Today, I make about 200K per year. I got a GED, went to trade school, then got into college (full Pell Grant because I was so poor) and came out with a few degrees.

Everything I own is fully paid for. House, cars, etc. because I'm always afraid I'm going to be poor again. Of course, I only own modest things. Nothing fancy.

If you have never been poor, you may not realize how awesome Small houses and Toyota Corollas are.

My fears about being poor again drive my wife and kids crazy. They think I'm nuts and say I need counseling. I probably do.

Anyway, people think I'm 'privileged' now because I earn a lot of money, but they have no idea that I used to sleep on the floor and eat in soup lines.

I made it and you can too. Poverty has no color. It impacts everyone. You can't tell just by looking at someone.
Seems like an interesting and potentially quite valuable service, writing as someone who already has one business doing online sales and is currently working on a new one that also will.

If you’re looking for feedback, my immediate question would be how Corrily handles the issue of sales tax/VAT. This has become a big hassle particularly for B2C merchants already in places like the EU but increasingly around the world as governments decide they want their piece of the online sales pie.

This might be relevant to a service like Corrily for two reasons. Firstly, as an anecdotal data point, we are only really interested in using payment services that handle the tax collection, remittance and reporting transparently at the moment. It looks like that would make it impossible for us to ever use Corrily since Stripe doesn’t currently offer that functionality.

Secondly, for a business that is starting to grow into international markets and starting to take issues like local purchasing power into account in its pricing model, there are going to be zones where the local tax rules mean the highest gross price isn’t necessarily going to yield the highest net revenues. Maybe these windows are too short to be of interest to your target market or to be worth the effort to take them into account in your models, but instinctively it feels like the kind of technicalities that a service like Corrily ought to get right if the whole point is to identify and maintain optimal pricing for each local market.

Seen the GTA post already and the sscanf behavior is very surprising as one would expect it to parse the given string until the given format is satisfied or \0 is hit. Seems like this is not the case. Found this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/23924112

> sscanf() converts the string you pass in to an _IO_FILE* to make the string look like a "file". This is so the same internal _IO_vfscanf() can be used for both a string and a FILE*. However, as part of that conversion, done in a _IO_str_init_static_internal() function, it calls __rawmemchr (ptr, '\0'); essentially a strlen() call, on your input string.

Looks correct. Call flow:

The Hindenburg's time is a good point of reference. I was looking to know what advancements airships have made since then.
American here that grew up in a 3 bedroom house with around 900sqft of space and 4 people, and now live in a 2500sqft house with just my wife and 1 dog..I don't know how we did it. Thinking back it was so insanely cramped, my parents bedroom was the 'big' bedroom and it was just large enough to fit a queen sized bed, a chest of drawers, a gun case, and then a night stand on one side of the bed. The kids bedrooms barely fit a twin sized bed and a small desk with room to stand. Tiny bathroom, living room just big enough for 4-5 people. Very tiny kitchen, not large enough for a dishwasher.
Awkward Funeral Speech
For me the greatest benefit of learning Prolog was really understanding recursion – the only way to iterate through something is with a tail-recursive call. Also, it really makes you appreciate the For loop ;)

Another cool aspect of Prolog is how simple it is to write a meta interpreter. Fort example, you can easily change Prolog's default depth first search through the solution space to breadth first, or iterative deepening: https://www.metalevel.at/acomip/
Okay, that makes sense. Why do you assume, or at least give the very strong impression of assuming, that no one else does anything like this? Or even just that Etsy doesn't?
No offense, but I don't think you personally know a single homeless person.
Those pages promote birth control (with a focus on avoiding forced reproduction/birth) not culling the sick.

Wasn't the shuttle first? What about Dream Chaser?

Is your second stage designed to fly on top of New Glenn's first stage? Do the fins on the New Glenn provide enough authority to counteract the control surfaces on your stage? Or are you planning on flying encapsulated like Dream Chaser does?
As I've gotten older and seen predicted doomsdays come and go, I've started to think that expecting armageddon is an innate part of human psychology.

I'm not aware of any era or place where many people have not expected the world to meet disaster soon. It's a part of all major religions.
> I would argue the opposite, that its mainly a technical problem that has been coopted by a political movement.

I don't see it. You just deploy some existing technology that is slightly more expensive upfront but cheaper in the long run. You turn off old technology that is not compatible with the goal. You can make the technology cheaper by simply putting more money into it and deploying it more. There is literally nothing left to do other than doing it. Power generation technology like nuclear, solar, wind will get cheaper the more you deploy. You cannot just wait it out and hope that it gets cheaper on its own. It gets cheaper precisely because you keep deploying more and more and more.

The same applies to electric cars. As you keep deploying them newer cars will be cheaper or have greater capabilities.

One day people will wonder why we even insisted on the old way of doing things. It's purely about cooperation and thus politics.

>But there are people that want to move backwards, to reduce our standard of living, to reduce our freedom to make our own choices, and to enforce some kind of forced mediocrity that will help ration our natural resources. I reject this (and weaker versions of it) and believe there is more to be gained by focusing on progress than on telling people what to do.

Obviously, progress is the only answer if we want a solution for everyone. There are lots of people who simply are indifferent. If you give them a good enough compromise they are going to switch over to your side. If you tell them that they are bad people and should change their behavior they are going to do nothing, find reasons to tell you that you are wrong or just join the opposite side because they hate being criticized for something that they do not have influence over and now get to criticize you in return.
So you are effectively gambling on a speculative value of the company and not investing in it.
This assumes that you're power generation always matches demand through time. If you had a sudden spike at night that you don't usually have (like in Texas where people kicked on their heat unexpectedly) and you were using solar, the mismatch would exist and you wouldn't be able to meet the load.
This study maybe true. But there are levels of poverty where people don't just have a subjective desire to have more money but have real hard worries about paying for food, health care or a place to live. That's totally different from people wanting a nicer car or nicer house and way more psychologically stressful.

The lack of empathy for the wealthy goes both ways. The wealthy traditionally haven't had much empathy for people with less money so it's not too surprising that people with less money don't have much empathy for them. It makes me really angry when I see multimillionaires in the news warning about the risks raising the minimum wage. It's actually pretty sad.
I figured that rather than create a TC account to comment there, I'd be more interested in sharing my thoughts with the HN crowd. There is a reply to that article that larps about being old... As someone turning 40 this year, I would posit that perhaps "getting old" is just the point at which you decide to stop trying new experiences for yourself. Because this NFT "craze", at least in the current NBA Top Shot / Nifty Gateway generation, is 0% scary or hard to understand in practice. It's just that you do need to experience it for yourself to get it, reading Pakman's or Cuban's or Fred Wilson's words doesn't accomplish what 20 minutes of actually buying and selling and showing off digital collectibles for yourself can accomplish.

Add on top of that the fact that some 60% of the world just doesn't "get" and will probably never "get" any kind of collectibles, and that creates a lot of noise. If that's you, I'd suggest trying to understand that there's a vast minority who really does connect with collecting, and for us the benefits to being able to meaningfully do it online are as massive as the advantages of email over snail mail. This is the gift of NFTs for us.
I think it depends a lot on how long your password is, as well.

In computing we say that all problems are O(1) in the limit, because there is a practical limit to the available resources.

The devil is in the details, and escaping the trap once isn't a permanent solution. Feeding us more efficiently now by poisoning our environment isn't a long term solution.

Danese Cooper: I can offer the story of the SCSL and Java
> I thought all shortcuts were supposed to use Cmd as the modifier and Ctrl was only for complicated shortcuts. But switching tabs in a browser is one of the most common shortcut. So why is it Ctrl?

macOS apps and 3rd party apps that are not ports from other platforms use Cmd as the primary modifier, i.e. the overwhelming majority of shortcuts are Cmd + something. If your apps use Ctrl a lot, they're probably Linux or Windows ports that don't respect the macOS way. There's plenty of those.

They could've used Cmd + G to go to the next tab and Cmd + H to go back (for example), but in this case it's pretty clear why they went with ctrl + tab, isn' t it? It's convenient, makes sense and it's quite close to the close-window Cmd + W and you can easily add a Shift there to go back.

> Full screen apps are as good as unusable.

I use fullscreen apps all the time (on the laptop screen or smaller monitors) and they're perfectly fine. Some people don't like the paradigm, but that's just personal preference again.
I sometimes wonder if that event horizon is encroaching higher and higher up the economic ladder over time. Most of the people in my personal cohort - with university degrees and good careers - have no problem living a good life in the US. But with the rapid inflation of the cost of healthcare, higher education and housing, I wonder how that lifestyle can possibly become accessible to people who weren't essentially born into it. I think increased stratification in terms of lifestyle and opportunity is not good long term for social cohesion or political stability.

At the same time, the latest iPad Pros connected to a Macbook via USB-C provide a remarkably convenient and performant second screen experience when doing dev or other creative (multi-screen) work on the road.

I appreciate that the study I mentioned might not have the complete picture, so I need to research more.

As for your point regarding "meeting all requirements", I can relate to it. This supports the theory of listing the absolute requirements to get more applications instead of copy/pasting everything from other job descriptions. This improvement in itself makes it a win-win situation.

I think because they're incremental. A plant that burns something costs billions. Another solar panel or wind tower can be built on a whim.
Yes, and none of those states implemented anything anywhere close to the western model. We're not talking about general revolt.

The reason why imperialism was important is because it allowed the European upper classes to persist in a position of material advantage despite decreasing their oppression of their citizens. It was certainly a strong contribution to convincing European upper classes to accept social restructure.

Hey folks! Four years ago as I was learning to code, I was frustrated about my lack of clarity about where to go and whom to learn from. With overwhelming career choices within tech and everchanging programming languages and frameworks, the first few months were painfully hard for me.

Six months ago I decided to revisit this problem again and came to r/learnprogramming to talk with folks to see if they still faced this problem. After talking to about 100+ people who were learning to code, and they very much did. To solve this, I decided to build a web-app to curate and share learning roadmaps where people who are new to coding can have more clarity regarding how to go about building their tech career and hopefully not face the problems which I did. You can also "pursue" which is basically forking a roadmap and make it your own to pursue it and build your own career goals and get weekly reminders to update and pursue your roadmaps.

I managed to get over 50 learning roadmaps on a variety of careers and programming languages which I gathered from my friends, network and the internet and it's only increasing by the day! If you want to give back to the community, feel free to build your own roadmap and share your journey with the people starting out!

I released it last-week on r/learnprogramming and it ended up getting 4000+ upvotes which further validated the need for the product. This is my first PH launch and I'd love your feedback and your criticism to know how I could make this better.
A percentage of future earnings is a good fee repayment structure. This incentivises the bootcamps to make grads employable.

A few bootcamps in the UK are being sued by former graduates who couldn't secure a guaranteed job after a year. Note that in the UK, university fees are £9k for a Master's whereas bootcamps cost £4k. Bootcamps still work out cost-effectively as they can be taken as evening classes and there's fewer months of living expenses to pay for (3 months for a bootcamp vs 12 months for a Master's)
Don't have anything to add to this except to say thanks to the team for an amazing product. Been using fish shell for 5+ years now and I love it. "Finally, a command line shell for the 90s"!
I’ve been using Haskell in production for three years and it’s been great so far!

I think these concepts translate to other languages fairly well, and are easy to learn in Haskell:

- Newtypes (Languages like Kotlin/Swift have support for them, and you can kinda get close with lots of classes in Java)

- Purity (can write “pure” code in most languages)

- Algebraic Data Types (help with thinking about modeling data, works in eg TypeScript)

- Maybe / Optional types (Now very popular in other languages)

- Parser Combinators (work in eg JavaScript)
I’ve lived in small towns in Illinois and Texas, mid-sized in North Carolina, and big cities in Texas and California. That’s enough to know that housing markets are wildly divergent across the US, and really can’t be generalized.

The author seems to be describing how things are in metro Phoenix. Having not lived there, I’d assume it’s as described.

I will say that my experience has been that there’s a paradox: it should be much easier to get by as a poor person in small towns as everything costs a lot less, but paradoxically there’s even less work to do so it’s hard to even come up with the low local costs. In the end, poverty is always relative to the local market.

The author argues against this strategy of audience building:

* remixing feel good content of others

* trying to find a product fit by audience building

* You know you're creating valuable content if you're scared before hitting the publish button (?)

Hard to respond to the article because it's making a lot of unrelated points. Here's a rephrasing of some of the author's points and some of my thoughts on audience building:

* building an audience of potential customers is powerful

* vanity metrics (# of followers) are less important than engagement metrics

* The building a Twitter audience course referenced in the blog post made $200,000 (https://twitter.com/dvassallo/status/1365962052469018626). It's a 90 minute powerpoint presentation with no editing. Shows how powerful building an audience and then selling to them is.

Almost all the content I create is highly technical distributed data blogs and it's allowed me to find open source collaborators and get help on difficult bugs. Having the right audience is awesome.
