On the plus side, your rover is going to work better with contour planting, which is part of the solution to our problems.

The downside is that most of the post-modern agricultural variants embrace observation as being critical, and we of all people should know that statistics and graphs are not a substitute for actually looking at things. Having a robot phone home is not the same as knowing what's going on.

As an aside, I think you're going to need chonkier wheels on that thing, and better resistance to mud (what are those boxes right above the wheels?) Also you should research fork rake, and how it relates to the tendency of a wheeled vehicle to maintain or change direction. There may be a wheel design that affords you more cycles for other activities besides keeping the vehicle tracking straight.
The prose is mushy, but I appreciate the Grant movie recommendations.

I inadvertently encroached on a crows' nest with a young chick in it, one time while I was out taking pictures on a break at work. The chick called out in alarm, and the parents weren't far away. Then and after, whenever I left the building with my camera in hand, they made low passes and warning calls until I went back inside - but only when I had my camera.

This kept up for days, including after a weekend when I wasn't at work, until it occurred to me to try a peace offering of potato chips from the vending machine - not the healthiest food for anyone, but the best it had to offer, and I had nothing else really to work with. After a few days of emptying a bag of chips on the grassy verge opposite the parking lot, and of conscientiously not approaching the nest again, the warning calls and surveillance flights ceased, and the crows never had a problem with me again.

I'd read previously about corvids' intelligence, but that they should have such an extensive and accurate theory of mind, for animals with whom they have so little in common, still surprised me. Hell, for all that we flatter ourselves we invented the concepts, I've known plenty of humans who grasped impropriety, apology, restitution, and forgiveness less well than those birds did.

There are a few challenges I can think of there. The most obvious is that there are things that are accurate and relevant, but I might not want to point out to a patient in the moment (a combative drunk patient might take offense to my documenting the presence of multiple empty liquor bottles, for instance). Obviously this information is part of the patient's medical record, and available to them in the future for review if they want, but there are things that I don't necessarily want to speak out loud in the moment.

The other, more subtle, reason is that free form handwriting gives me a lot of flexibility in on-the-fly formatting to emphasize important information, etc.

I’ve thought about this since last year, and I can’t understand how this proposal has been able to survive this long. First of all, the EU is very pro-business, which means it should be pro-encryption. Second, the structures of its governing bodies does not make it very prone to populism. Based on what I know from this Kurzgesagt video: https://youtu.be/h4Uu5eyN6VU

Is this all some hidden plot to turn the EU into a totalitarian state? I’m (half) joking, but I really can’t see the motivation.

It's not that. You can already be charged with obstruction of justice in many countries if you refuse to provide keys for encrypted drives. This is about prohibiting encrypted messaging in the first place. WhatsApp et al will be denied market access, app/play store entries for all encrypted chat apps will be removed or have versions shipped without encryption etc.

The average HNer won't be that affected but the general public will. Access to encryption will be greatly reduced and most people won't even care or notice.

I think you're being ungenerous to settlers from Europe; my ancestors were some of them. Soil conditions varied a lot! In Indiana, where my ancestors settled, there was largely forest, and great soil for farming, but the plains weren't that way. But regardless, yes, humans have very radically changed not only the soil ecology, but the entire ecology of North America over our entire time. But it's really picked up in the last 50 years. We're way past sustainability now.

The practices of 100 or 200 years ago were much more sustainable than what we have now. They had no pesticides or fertilizers, and they couldn't till the soil so thoroughly. Farms were smaller and the increased biodiversity of "pests" was actually better for the soils, if not for yields.

What has really tipped the balance is the "amazing" 4x crop yield increase over the last century. It came at the expense of literally every other living thing associated with the land: pests, grasses, trees, animals, birds, you name it. And it required juicing everything up on steroids, genetically modifying and breeding different crop varieties, and carpet-bombing an entire phylum of life with chemical warfare.

I'm kind of puzzled by this. Your post defies conventional wisdom (which you say is misleading). I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt because conventional wisdom is often misleading. But these links seem to indicate that in fact corn farmers ARE directly subsidized, both in terms of crop insurance (cheaper than market insurance is clearly a subsidy), as well as price protection. See that second link, especially ARC and PLC, which compensates farmers if their prices fall below benchmark rates set by Congress.

Is that not a direct subsidy? Are they wrong? (genuinely curious - your post is interesting enough that I felt I had to do some research to clarify my own thinking)

TBH I think that's a traditional thing - I think it really facilitates proper movement of the ribcage without slouching so you're able to take full breaths, without being so relaxed as going to sleep.

"grade" (as opposed to "sort") means "find a permutation that puts this into order". So the sorted version of the list "name" is in APL, name[⍋name] (read "name indexed by the permutation that puts name into ascending order), but if you have two corresponding lists, "name" and "age", then you can get names sorted by age using name[⍋age]. It is, in that sense, a more fundamental operation than sorting.

Before Iverson added the celing and floor symbols, those weren't known either, even though you had a better chance of guessing them.

And w.r.t to "characters for all operators" - this is, of course, subjective. But I've never met a programmer who prefers COBOL's "ADD 1 TO X GIVING X" to C's "++x"; Anything that's common enough deserves a symbol, both because it's shorter and easier to recognize visually, and because it reduces the language barrier (in the same way that "3+4" is easy for a 6-year old Thai in the way that "3 plus 4" in English letters isn't)

In my opinion Arthur Whitney's refinements of Iverson's ideas (called "K", an APL-related-language) is the right way to go. He mostly converged on ~50 operations that deserve symbols. Many algorithms end up as orthogonal combinations of those, e.g. |/0(0|+)\ which is a complete, efficient O(n) solution of the maximum-subarray-sum problem; or ",//:" which is a complete, though not very efficient, implementation of "flatten".

I know we don't like when people cite child pornography as a reason, but child pornography is a real issue. It is spread via any and every kind of social media. Kids are groomed into sending their photos online. Enforcing encryption will make it harder to detect these kinds of distribution.

Very nice story. :)

How did you build vim.so? Is it a framework or purely coded in vim?
My partner, who isn't usually all that money-wise, said this a couple nights ago, and reminded me about what happened last Spring when the novelty of legal cannabis stocks wore off. So even financial bystanders are noticing the pattern.

People who might point out that some of the stocks are coming up should look at the year to see the general trend is still going downward. Of course that looks discouraging, but don't let it - we're almost out of this. Sooner or later they'll actually trend upward. It's a LOOOONG way back up for those who bought into it last Spring, and an equally long way up for those who buy in at the bottom. But the ones who buy in at the bottom will be the ones smiling next Spring.

For example, I'm tracking ACB downward waiting to buy once it finally bottoms out. I think a lot of the stocks that are suffering due to Covid restrictions are going to have a nice tall climb back up once we start reaching herd immunity and the survivors start seeing profits again. But that won't start happening for a few months yet.

Just hold on and don't panic. And definitely don't throw your money into the very next bubble.

PS: If you look at percentages, as one should, Bitcoin is doing well, but there are stocks out there performing better. The big numbers are impressive, but going from $40K to $60K is exactly the same as going from $4 to $6.
Countless doesn’t seem totally accurate. Last I checked the FBI census a few years back showed 318 deaths over a year due to long guns in the United States. That includes shotgun, rifle, and scary “assault” weapons.

Handguns on the other hand kill 100x-200x the same amount of people. Seems like if gun control proponents wanted to reduce harm, they’d focus on handguns first.

It is a spectacular overreaction to equate this to "EU wants to ban encryption". This will never happen.

> We don't need assault rifles for anything but murder.

We don't need encryption for anything but hiding illegal activities. You have nothing to fear if you're not a criminal.

See what I did there? Neither argument is good.

Just like the overwhelming majority of people that own so-called Assault Rifles never use them for anything except peaceful recreation - the overwhelming majority of people that use encryption never use it for anything except peaceful online activities.

Why would we ban one and not the other? Both are used by criminals to commit acts which are already illegal. Making them doubly-illegal accomplishes nothing.

There's nothing bucolic about farming -- ever. Both my wife and I come from farming families. I lost a great grandfather who effectively worked himself to death in his early 30s and my wife had a great grandfather who died from being attacked by a bull. Farming has always been very hard work. I have friends in tech who grew up in farming families and they are the few people in tech who can easily get up early in the morning because that's also a part of farming life -- get up before the sun is even up.

I don't know where the romanticized idea of farming life came from because it was never that great. Historically, it was just a way to provide food for your family and maybe make a profit on the side if you're lucky.
