No but if we keep polluting at this rate, in 500 years civilisations will crumble. If food supply chains fail we’ll see a bunch of wars break out and a global chain reaction that will destroy massive amounts of progress.

Most likely we’ll land back at the Middle Ages- it’s happened to pretty much every civilisation to date so it’s unlikely ours will be any different.

If anything given our global scale it will be worse.

All the norms around burial culture are contrivances made up by humans and have little basis in the natural world. That the dead even deserve respect is similarly made-up.

One's involuntary submission to the whims of the living is part of the process of death. If one does anything even remotely notable you can be assured that society will want something to do with it. There's no point in chastising the entire world because of it.
I have had the same happen to me at SFO.

My main basic questions remain after reading about these NFT sales.

Why can't someone just buy all rights to this video the same way a company can buy the rights to a film? What does the blockchain do that a couple lawyers and some paperwork couldn't?

Why a blockchain-based digital "certificate" instead of just a certificate? Does my birth certificate or marriage certificate or college diploma need an upgrade to an NFT, too?
If the article only attacked that specific book "Clean Code", then I would not be as critical. But the first line in the article suggests that it is an attack against the entire idea of writing good quality code:

'It may not be possible for us to ever reach empirical definitions of "good code" or "clean code"'

It might seem far fetched that someone might question the benefits of writing high quality code (readable, composable, maintainable, succinct, efficient...) but I've been in this industry long enough (and worked for enough different kinds of companies) to realize that there is an actual agenda to push the industry in that direction.

Some people in the corporate sphere really believe that the best way to implement software is to brute force it by throwing thousands of engineers at a giant ball of spaghetti code then writing an even more gargantuan spaghetti ball of tests to ensure that the monstrosity actually works.

I see it as an immoral waste of human potential.
I think the correct wording should be "I really wish Apple would just make it easy side loading". I wish it too.

I know how unpopular this is but I will say it anyway, I can't stand it and I am willing to sacrifice a few karma points to convey the message.

I have distaste against the claim that Apple is not allowing people do something on their device because this is technically false. What Apple is not allowing is using its App distribution platform outside of their store rules.

What Apple is not helping with is side loading. They don't have a say on what you install on your phone but they have a say on what you can distribute on their App Store. That's why it's the developers that are suing, not the users.

However hard it is, you have all the rights to run whatever you like on your device you purchased. The "Apple doesn't allow you to install apps, you don't own the device" is a fallacy.

You can pay for the convenience(get a developer account, use the Apple toolchain to install your apps) or hack your device and run whatever you want on it and both are completely O.K.

At the time of purchase you don't sign anything preventing you from doing it, consumer devices are not like those developer devices that apple sells or send upon limited use or NDA agreements. You are free to do whatever you like to your device. Install a Chromium engine or blend it for YouTube views, it's up to you. You are only limited with your local laws, so dispose it's battery responsibly and that's it.
> Furthermore, any big vendor (e.g. Facebook) with its own vast audience and ecosystem would immediately launch its own app store

And yet there is no precedent for this happening, because this didn't happen on Android, Windows or macOS. The Play Store shows the same scary privacy warnings the App Store does for Facebook, and there still isn't a Facebook app store that some people like to fearmonger about.
> Next steps after identifying the problem?

The only step I know that seems viable is the long, slow process of community education. Technical solutions don't really seem like they would help. I suppose we could put up a nag screen when there aren't many comments in a thread, asking people to check whether they're posting from the right place...but we've always tried to avoid that kind of thing, and even if each such step made sense individually they would soon compound into something annoying.

Fortunately, not everyone needs to understand these things, just enough to start feeding back into the system and affecting the culture.

I wish Git would have some kind of command-server mode or libgit2 was supported with Magit to prevent needing to create new processes on Windows. Magit sometimes creates dozens of Git processes for a single operation, but because process creation is much slower on Windows than Linux, it makes Magit unusable for me on those systems. (Sadly, I don't always get a choice to just use Linux.) Simple things like magit-status take 10 seconds per refresh/stage/unstage instead of half a second elsewhere. It got to the point where using the git command line was much more bearable, but way more error-prone, and I miss Magit every time.

How is it apt? In one case a fake bomb threat and a fighter jet force land a commercial flight for political reasons of a despot. on the other side refusal to allow air travel through sovereign air space of democratic countries, and was "downed" after failing to comply.
This is far from apt comparison.

Thanks, my mistake was searching exclusively for Intel micro-architecture. It'd be interesting to see if there are further similar die breakdowns for other micro-architectures around, trawling through conference proceedings likely to yield better results than a quick Google. Just skimming through hot chips as it has a publicly accessible archive (those AMD die breakdowns come from ISSCC which isn't so easily accessible).

The decoder is certainly a reasonable fraction of the core area, though as a fraction of total chip area it's still not too much as other units in core are of similar size or larger size (Floating point/SIMD, branch prediction, load/store, L2) plus all of the uncore stuff (L3 in particular). Really we need a similar die shot of a big arm core to compare its decoder size too. Hotchips 2019 has a highlighted die plot of an N1 with different blocks coloured but sadly it doesn't provide a key as to which block is what colour.
> The pertinent difference here appears to be a falsified bomb threat and the use of a fighter jet to implicitly threaten the lives of the pilot and crew if they didn't kowtow to the illegal instructions.

Different to disallowing refueling? Last time I checked, planes come down without fuel, "threatening the lives of pilot and crew". One does not have to agree on that equivalence, but I think one should accept that the narrative is equally compelling.
Environmental collapse is already endangering us.
Physical switches rely on light as a handshaking method.

When the light is off, the switch is invisible and you have to guess at where it is, or where you need to be walking (hitting your shins on things, or stepping on lego)

Using a non-light based interface means it works just as well when the light is on and off, vs being a broken experience for half of the usecases
Not just the blog but Tindie as well all under the umbrella(Supplyframe) they brought for $0.7m. "The expected revenue of Supplyframe for the fiscal year 2021 is around $70 million with profit margins typical for the software business." sure does make for a different perspective upon the offer and on the basis of that, along with the growth in that area of hobby electronics. I figure for the buyer, it's a bargain and on the face of it, could of sold for more.

[EDIT ADD} OK been pointed out I slipped few points on that value and it's $700m which with that turnover makes way more sense. But epic Doh moment and hands up on that laugh.
> If it was leaked from a lab, what would you propose be done about it? Why do you feel this is a pressing concern?

Not the grandparent, but if one believes that the virus was accidentally leaked from a lab, surely that means their containment protocolos are deficient or not adequately followed. That is an actionable price of information, especially if they are handling other strains of viruses that could leak in the future. Whatever lessons can be learned from that can also be exported to other similar labs around the world.

I have no idea of whether that was the case, though.
FWIW, they don't ship finished bikes or treadmills to customers. There is a final "assembly" that takes place in the owner's home. Just putting the pieces together, nothing too intense and lasts maybe 30 minutes.

I got mine before COVID, but I know that it was a big to-do during COVID because everyone wanted a bike but people didn't want strangers coming in to their houses to install them. (Understandable at the time.)
The comments I see are mocking the product as rich-people toys; completely ignoring the software/services side of the equation.

We wouldn't see the same snark if it was a Razer mouse factory, even though that's also rich-people toys, because it's more line with average HN user's interests.
I don't think it means nothing to a court,even if it isn't a formal contract. Verbal agreements also carry some weight in court in most jurisdictions, they just aren't as bulletproof. I would guess an nft is somewhere on that level?
Yeah, I was being conservative. There's some archeological evidence that civilization is a lot older than generally thought. And humans seem to have some of the characteristics of domestication. As in our hominid ancestors self-domesticated.

I can understand how natural numbers can be “constructed” (for lack of a better word) as a byproduct of counting, what I could never understood on a deeper level are negative numbers, I can’t see how a number i.e. a count can be lower than zero.

Maybe related, while I can also partially understand multiplication (syntactic sugar for adding) I could never understand multiplication by zero, meaning how come when you multiply a number (no matter how big) by zero you get zero as a result.

Maybe there’s some Wittgenstein-like material somewhere that will better explain this, in which case I’ll very happy for some references.

The only explanation for NFTs that made sense to me is that people with an interest in the network (e.g. early investors) are bidding up some choice NFTs to make news and drive interest in their network. There is no actual market for NFTs at these prices, but that doesn't stop groups with deep pockets from pretending like there is by purchasing well known memes for eye popping amounts. If internet "celebrities" are able to cash in on this nonsense, I see no harm in it. It's sort of like living off of VC subsidized products.

Well, 'well regulated' did not mean the same thing in 1791 that it does now. And that part of the amendment was the prefatory clause anyway, so it's moot.

Not nearly enough to change behaviour. I knew fully well the impact of buying A vs B in a recent purchase decision - A is unethical but B was a full $1000 more. It was hard to suck it up and do the right thing. If we want to effect change, just add a tax that equalizes unfair advantages - paying unliveable wage? That tax should then be used to pay a basic income here. If manufacturers still want to keep their facilities elsewhere - for non-destructive reasons - so be it.
I've never been able to work out if Pianoteq uses physical modelling - modelling the strings and soundboard as the solutions of differential equations - or spectral modelling - overtone resynthesis, which is rooted in sampling but reassembles the harmonics in samples dynamically instead of playing back a fixed sample series at different rates.

I suspect it's the latter, because there's a hint of detail missing in the way the overtones move.
In an ideal situation, that would absolutely be the case. The trouble comes when neighbouring suburban "cities" start competing against each other for the potential for a business like OP referenced.

Oftentimes these are just incorporated industrial areas with minimal housing and little/no incentive to invest in public services. The businesses in this city/township are certainly running the show, and the few people living within those borders have little to no incentive or ability to organize and work for change. Afterall - people with surplus money/time would choose to live elsewhere.

Its a vicious cycle to the bottom, since these types of cities/townships compete against the main city proper (in the case of large urban areas) or other nearby cities and towns that are actually trying to provide for their citizens.

There are a lot of racial justice advocates who agree with you pretty much entirely. Racial justice is economic justice, and economic justice has very little to do with who has what jobs.

Yup. The worst part is that Uber/Lyft can selectively keep subsidizing rides in markets where there's still competition from legacy taxis while charging what they want in less competitive markets.

Notice from this article that Uber and Lyft are seemingly acting in concert when cutting pay and offering subsidies. This is either both companies responding to the market in similar ways or cartel behavior. Good luck proving the latter in court however.
people will know and they will value it accordingly but no one will stop you for doing it, at least for now.
No the second embeds two important differences from the first: that this is new (it's as old as writing at least) and that it's bad (a value judgement you can fall on either side of).
Assuming the transcript is genuine and reasonably complete, then I would be surprised if captain would have been aware of their escort (if it existed), at least before making the decision to divert to Minsk. Feels like it is something that would have come up in the communication.

Also, sky is pretty big, and a MiG-29 has no problem tracking and following a fat passenger jet at a distance. Most likely only way pilot could have noticed the MiG would have been if the MiG would have intentionally made itself seen, i.e. flying very close by.

Right now: I can (I don't, but I could) use Facebook on iOS devices without giving them access to a bunch of stuff they'd love to have access to, or letting them do things I'd rather they not. Or I can choose not to use it.

Your vision: I can choose not to use Facebook on my iOS devices, or else use it but let FB have access to and/or do a bunch of stuff I don't want them to.

I honestly feel the same way. Once you use Fig, it feels like such an obvious idea. It didn't require new APIs or anything like that.

As far as I can tell, no one tried it because to 10x the existing shell experience requires working across multiple layers of stack. You need integrations with the shell, the terminal emulator and the OS -- in addition, to mapping the structure of a bunch of CLI tools.
> if they allowed sideloading, all of the big tech companies that compete with Apple would happily, immediately, force users to sideload their app.

Google allows sideloading on Android. Neither Facebook nor any other similarly-popular app that I can think of forces users to sideload there. Why would it be different on iOS?
And why I don't use the tool.

The Play Store cannot be compared to the iOS App Store, the Windows Store, or the macOS App Store because the iOS App Store is substantially more stringent than the Play Store in what apps are even allowed to request permission for, their sandboxing restrictions, and their privacy requirements. For example, Google gets more than 10X the data from their Android app than they get from their iOS app according to estimates. Also, Google Play only shows a request for Permissions, while iOS shows the entire list of what data is collected that is linked to you, and the data that is collected that is not linked to you, which means that the "scary privacy warnings" are substantially scarier on iOS and don't bear the comparison to the permissions-only Play Store.
