Climate change is the result of literally all human production ever. How do you propose we reproduce the last several hundred years of industry and development, cumulatively, on another planet?
Preface is an opinionated library designed to facilitate the handling of recurring functional programming idioms in OCaml. Many of the design decisions were made in an attempt to calibrate, as best as possible, to the OCaml language. Trying to get the most out of the module language. The name "preface" is a nod to "Prelude".

When learning functional programming, one is often confronted with constructs derived (or not) from category theory. Languages such as Haskell offer very complete libraries to use them, and thus, facilitate their learning. In OCaml, it often happens that these abstractions are buried in the heart of certain libraries/projects (Lwt, Cmdliner, Bonsai, Dune etc.). This is why one of the objectives of Preface is to propose tools for concretising these abstractions, at least as a pedagogical tool using essentially the module-language of OCaml.
West europe didn't have good options to go to USSR. Politically it was a no-no, going there meant you would be tainted as a spy even if you went back after a while.

So, sure the USSR might not have been stellar, but in the cold war the camps were already cut either way and you didn't choose the US or USSR.

You only chose to stay were you are or go for top entity of your block.
Torchscript is very complicated. Its internal API was not truely documented for external use last time I checked it. You can't even export to torchscript from libtorch C++, it only works from Python AFAIK.
You don't even need a VPS. A static website with no user input better be hosted on Vercel or Netlify, with Cloudflare as a CDN.
Wikipedia[1] cites a 2010 study that gives a boiloff rate of 0.1% per day for hydrolox. Not sure if it would be less for pure LOX. Methane would remain stable so I wonder if there's a way you could balance the fuel load so that you can deliver only methane on some of the trips and then all the LOX in one trip to avoid having it hang around in orbit.

Yes, let me be more specific: if you really are able to predict the future then you bet the house on something, you'll make out like a bandit.

But if you also do something that many others do when the trend is plainly visible that doesn't count. Yes, I mined some bitcoin. But that's not the same as being able to predict a trend. Because when you can you're not just going to mine a couple of bitcoins or put a bit of money into it, you're going to bet the house: you know you can't lose.

So as far as I'm concerned he's full of it.

Lucky you! I wished I'd been half as dumb, instead I've been working hard.

As for Bitcoin's design: I actually think it is amazing. It managed to scale across many orders of magnitude and is simply a victim of its own success. It has held up amazingly well given the amount of attacks leveled at it. It's not perfect, but that is mostly because the designers never really foresaw it achieving this level of adoption this fast, and if that's failure I hope to fail at that level one day.

The aim here is to help business never run out of ideas, always having their backlog full. we do that in 2 ways, first our AI-engine will put 3 ideas tailored to your business in your backlog. second you can always as our community of Growth hackers to fill out your backlog. it is free to join and free to use for now. please use it and give us feedback
As with most things I feel like this could be solved with a Raspberry Pi and Kodi.
the main difference and kind of great advantage in comparison with freelancing platform is that you do not have to go after clients and convince them, or as a client you do not need to take time and look for great growth hackers, Hacktika does the job for you, it automatically matches your business and your request with the most related growth hackers and they come and help you. the cost is also so low
if you have expertise you can join the platform as a growth hacker too. they review your profile and add you to the list of their growth hackers, if you give quality based answers to users, you can easily earn more money via this platform.the payout is every week. the more you create high quality ideas, the more the payout amount will be

Every single time a BTC supporter says this, they further prove that it’s a Ponzi scheme.
Funny I remember people telling me this like 6 years ago how BO would soon dominate.

Bezos was actually concerned about quick iteration. They had a smaller rocket planned but because of SpaceX success they wanted to 1-up SpaceX and build an even bigger rocket. So they wet with the New Glenn design that is now public. That of course went away from their 'step by step' approach but Bezos wanted to 1-up Musk.

However they announced it and 2 years later realized that they were hopelessly behind schedule so they waited until the last possible second to move it back by 3 years.

The problem is of course that SpaceX already has a bigger rocket, Falcon Heavy. SpaceX next generation rocket is making far faster progress then New Glenn and is far more capable.

New Glenn will be incredibly expensive and if they don't land it on the first try, they are gone have serious issues because they can't build these rockets very fast. Even if they manage to hit their launch date, their flight rate will be incredibly low for years.

At this point, no matter what kind of money Blue has, they can not match SpaceX in team and ability to invest in future technology. Elon started with less 100M and built a 74 billion market cap company out of it that is dominating space industry and is only increasing it dominance over time. They dominate the launch market, the are running away with sat internet, they have every possible NASA service contract, they have been selected as a military launch provider and they are even starting to make inroads into building military sats.

At the same time Bezos has thrown 5-10 billion $ into a company that is worth very little and has no clear path to actually making money anytime soon. In fact, its hard to see how they would ever make that money back.

If you want to make the argument that in 10 years BO is some juggernaut, I would seriously want an explanation on how they are gone do it.
you just have to be precise about your request. for example if you want to request idea backlog for your product, you should describe your objectives very detail, share your product link, so the growth hackers understand your needs better and give you better suggestions
In which case quic won’t work. But your vpn over tcp/443 will be fine.

Is udp/53 blocked too?
Wearable sensors detect gas leaks and show Holographic visual alarms immediately
the more precise you are, the better the ideas you receive from Growth Hackers. the aim is each of the clients receive the most customized idea that is helpful to them, the key to do that is describing your business and request step by step
Question submission form is really easy and simple.
At a different scale and time Japan was indeed blessed with natural resources.

In the revised edition of Guns, Germs and Steel Jared Diamond tells us that the "agriculture package" sent from the Fertile Crescent 5kya arrived here late: 2.3kya - perhaps 1,000 years later than expected.

The purported reason: Jomon was perhaps the most sophisticated hunter-gatherer society ever. For instance, pottery was created by Jomon hunter-gatherers earlier than anywhere else.

In part, because of the sheer abundance of natural resources in Japan, the Jomon peoples had developed a rich society that agriculturism for a long time simply couldn't compete with.
Sorry, here is the repository. I just found the project and it seems really interesting:
https://github.com/dahliaOS/pangolin_desktop

Their OS, dahliaOS is using it: https://dahliaos.io/

Honestly, never tried it myself, but it definitely looks cool and I wanted to share the web version ;)
A simple terminal UI dashboard for code review
The project was created as a way to keep on top of multiple teams creating large amounts of pull requests across several repositories by having a single up-to-date view of the pull request's approval status and age.

The initial implementation can be found over on Github at https://github.com/apoclyps/code-review-manager and can be installed from PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/reviews/

Contributions and feedback are welcome. It's in the very early stages of development and it has a long way to go but hopefully, there is enough here for others to derive some value from it being released early.
It’s possible that QUiC will mean in some places udp/443 will be blocked but other udp won’t be.
Agreed 100% with your thought. Also thanks for sharing the links. These are really thoughtful. Will go through them in detail.

My bad, I was trying to play click bait to check interest. I am a electrical engineer turned management consultant with BCG. I worked with BCG across 2 different continents primarily supporting clients in change management, strategy and cost optimization.

I came across this problem in almost every client where their costs bloat up because of inefficient procurement and the solve was almost always pretty straight forward. Smart sourcing, real time monitoring and comparison with changing market dynamics.

Currently, no solutions exist which are simple to implement and use. Also very few solutions have easy UI/UX which is critical to drive usage across functions. Also what I understand the SMB space also doesn't have a solution like this.

What I bring to the table? Core domain knowledge of procurement, good client management skills & strong action bias to solving a problem

Why should you join me? If you are a hacker and want to redefine how procurement is done across enterprises, we should get chatting right away.
Its a reasonable rule, but we are still evolving and have a vestigal tail, we have genetic diseases, we have psycopaths, etc.
If you could plant a forest about the size of Australia, or some crop that you could cut down regularly, dry out, and compress and then bury it. All using clean energy of course. That may help.

To be honest i don't know what i am looking at, it looks like it might be something fairly impressive but sort of could do with a link to a page explaining what it is rather than straight to it

chess24 needs to work on page load performance, but I find watching tournaments more pleasant on chess24 than on lichess.

chess24's default chess board is easier on the eyes than the flat design lichess one.

lichess is amazing for playing though.
Well I for one am glad bitcoin remains only as an asset for speculation, not a currency. I don't want 'currency without government'. Bitcoin as an alternative for the Swiss Banking system seems to have failed.

This week in KDE: Offline updates are now optional
I know linux always had the problem of being unappealing to normal people, so I guess it's good folks are trying to make pretty websites for their distros, working on pretty and consistent themes, sane defaults, layman terms etc.

But does that mean you have to completely hide any technical information from your website? It maybe I'm just too dumb to find it?

What distro is that based on? Indirectly mentioned by saying the Ubuntu apt repo is available.

What's the DE based on? You certainly didn't create a new one. It looks like a reskinned KDE to me.

You mention how fast it is, and that the new release has been optimized for performance. How? Did you fork KDE, the kernel, or apply some clever configurations, or did you get that performance for free because upstream just optimized their code?
How is this different from installing Ubuntu and adding flatpack and your KDE theme?

Again, first impression is this is a great distro for my mom et al., but for a HN submission I ended up with more questions than answers.
> It's a bs and meaningless word that specifies nothing

It's neither bs nor meaningless. It intuitively describes a good diet if you have a basic knowledge of food and diet. It basically means "what is good for you". What would you describe as "clean", deep fried butter or broccoli sprouts? See how it's intuitive?
Also the record of readmes and their date when reviewed would be very insightful.
This sounds right, though it doesn't have to be. These type of words signal the author's intent and when
1 - justified by the actual deliverable
2 - substantiated with concrete data
can be very useful. They can help create the right expectation. Unfortunately, they are more often misused or abused than applied correctly.
That's correct but there is still a huge issue for me with Bitcoin, which is that the vast majority of BTC is owned by literally a handful of people. It should be well distributed if it's gonna succeed as a currency and it never will be.
Beyond covering the "why" and the problem your tool solves it's also IMO a really good idea to include a "why use this over XYZ" section if your tool happens to have a few popular alternative libraries or is similar to something that most folks in your niche already knows.

Because if your tool is new, one of the first things folks are going to think is "why wouldn't I continue using XYZ?". The goal of this question isn't to put down the competition but it should draw comparisons between the tools and include the reasons why you created your tool. This could be adding certain features, doing things faster or whatever makes sense.

Flask-Classful's docs https://flask-classful.teracy.org/ has an excellent example of the above. The opening paragraphs cover it so well. The rest of the docs are also a good baseline example for creating useful documentation. Lots of practical code examples with very clear explanations of how it works.
Why Amazon Workers Sided with the Company over a Union
Hmm... on my mid-2014 13" MBP (which is completely fine otherwise) performance is so bad that this doesn't really make me confident that Flutter is "the future". Even just dragging windows around stutters (it feels like somewhere between 5 and 10 FPS). Is "native performance" comparable to the web version or dramatically better?

Flutter... stutter... maybe the Flutter team was trying to tell us something all along ;)
Think About Shouting Fire in a Crowded Theater
I agree with your arguments.

But there is another asset class beside real estate - arable land. People see gold as store of value which is false to some degree - gold was historically more of mean of exchange (of landed wealth) while the universal asset class paying regular dividends since Roman Empire until Industrial Revolution was arable land. And to a degree still is but since Industrial Revolution there are many alternative assets available that provide better/competitive returns (like government bonds)

Of course land could also be taken away but that happens very rarely (Communist revolutions in Russia, China, Central Europe). Historically land-owning class is stable. For example in largest wealth grabs in European history (Burgundians in France, Vandals in North Africa and best of all Norman conquest of Britain) there was generally sharing and mixing between old and new land-owners.
This doesn't surprise me. While I don't go as far as this:

Not washing with soap ever: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2019/aug/05/i-dont-...

Consider if you are stressed, have not slept, are hungover or ill. Often you smell pretty pungent.

I imagine that over the years we have excessively washed (with soap, certainly need to go under water) to cover poor diet, excessive alcohol consumption, lack of exercise and general detritus from our cities.

Then ended up forgetting how important our smells are.
The original article contains more details. Like the discovery of a work around that enabled direct access outside the procedure that was agreed upon. Indeed there is no proof it was actually used, but why was it there in the first place? Something that was not logged does not mean it did not happen. Actually, if it was my work I would make sure not to output something in local logs.
Almost as bad as some governments, the way they are printing money...
Yes, like that's the way Bitcoin works. You invest early, "hodl" then profit. Obviously this cannot work indefinitely.
> You're talking a very long time ago.

We've made strong progress in food security in the last 100-200 years, not sure about before that. I suspect hunter/gatherers had it actually better than farmers. What time spans are you talking about?
I did seam carving as part of Coursera's Algorithms course by Bob Sedgewick. It was gratifying.
As an older person that has done quite a bit of free teaching, I'd gently suggest that a good start would be to have the current generation be a little more generous towards us.

A lot of us are, indeed, tiresome old "OK boomers," but some of us (I'd like to think I'm one) may actually have something to contribute.

Here's an example of a simple course I gave on Core Bluetooth. It was not free, but try! Swift World does their courses for $50 a pop, which is pretty cheap (BTW: I donated the proceeds for my class to sponsor scholarships to other classes): https://www.linkedin.com/posts/chrismarshallny_try-swift-wor...

Take note of the course materials. They basically teach the class on their own (also, they are entirely driven by some very intense READMEs).

In my experience, a couple of the better teachers on try! Swift World are relatively older ones, like Erica Sadun and Daniel Steinberg. Some of the younger ones are also excellent.
Yeah it’s pretty much perfect. You hear it from the first seconds: Galadriel/Lothlorien theme as the the voiceover starts over black screen, turns into the ring theme as the title card appears, and changing into the lighter Shire theme when she talks about it, waving different themes into each other, after finally ending in Fellowship theme as the title ‘Fellowship of the Ring’ appears.

Even after Boromir’s death you hear a sad and dark hint of the Fellowship theme as it fades away into the moment the fellowship truly breaks and Frodo decides to leave on his own.

Imagine my disappointment when they used the Nazgul theme in the Hobbit, in the final warg/orc fight scene. Just threw it all away because it’s something that sounds ominous.
There's a difference between a report that is overly alarmist and near fabricating things and a report that points out things are worse now than they were in previous years, which seems to be the case here. While intelligence agencies obviously have their own agendas they still play an important role in modern governments and it would be a fools errant to ignore what they say completely.
Here's a few:

- the "credibility revolution" in econometrics, with its laser focus on good research design to uncover causality

- the rise of randomized controlled trials in development economics, discovering "what works" to help the poor

- behavioural economics, a bit long in the tooth now, but still with enough insights to support a lot of government Nudge Units

- Thomas Piketty and his coauthors' long work at building a sound evidence basis on inequality

- auction theory, which helped make the UK government several billion GBP in designing spectrum auctions

- new work bringing rigour to economic history, and often giving precise answers to questions like the effect of Protestantism on economic development

None of these are perfect but all are interesting. I haven't mentioned macro because I don't know enough to talk about it.
The article is largely talking about academic success (with one or two exceptions) which imo is much easier to normalize across countries.

The context to this article is that "grit" is used as one of the characteristics that charter schools and other educational programs in the US try to maximize in low performing areas. If "grit" can't be measured, or if it's just another way of describing another attribute (e.g., contentiousness, which is the article uses - or persistence, which is what you find in many academic articles), then there isn't much of a point of trying to maximize it in academic contexts.

All of this assumes that school performance is something that educators want to increase. This may not necessarily be true in every country and in every context, but it should be true in most of them (and certainly in the US, where a lot of local governments are funding programs using these concepts).
It's been soon a year since I've been in that U-bahn line. I live close to the Karl-Marx-Straße station and before the pandemic I definitely visited every station of that line as weekend activity throughout the years I've been in Berlin.

An old colleague of mine told me his father used to travel that line from Rudow to Spandau every morning to work, and in the evening back home again. That trip is almost two hours completely underground.

Lucky we are, working from home and not needing to commute anymore...

Is "Zircona" a project related to Zircon (the core platform that powers the Fuchsia OS) or just a typo?
Something is wrong with the web version and also with the website https://dahliaos.io/, links don't open. JS sites that don't work in Firefox, right? That's not a great start.

It does look interesting though. It's an UI for Fuchsia or Linux, with containers for the other system?
Why would UFOs imply extraterrestrial origin? It's the least likely explanation for them being there by a wide margin. They're just unidentified flying objects, in the literal sense of the acronym.
I think that's a great service for projects that want more users (whether that's a good idea/goal is another topic)!

On my own projects I've seem a pretty clear divide in adoption between projects which have a good README (100+ stars) and projects which have a similar level of utility/maturity but where I didn't bother to write a proper README (0-5 stars). (Stars are often a bad proxy for adoption, but here they are roughly proportional to downloads, reported issues, etc.)
