At this time, albedo modification is not politically correct, because it would still work whether human action is the main driver of global warming or not.
Yes, I could. (Not sure if you missed the original joke...)

But I really appreciate your insight here. I've already suggested it to someone else and will try to use this myself.
Mind you, your being on Instagram, via the network effect, makes the platform more valuable and attractive to other users, such as your friend or other people who know you.

I don't like this idea of grouping them all as similar. There's a huge range of toddler-focused books, some are great, some are awful, most are in-between.

Brown Bear, Brown Bear from Carle himself is mediocre junk. It's just colors and animals, and has no character, no narrative, no arc.

The Hungry, Hungry Caterpillar is an amazing, astounding masterpiece. It is usually printed with a sort of dynamic tactical approach with different page sizes, holes in the pages, the story has a real arc, it teaches biology, it carefully works in numbers and days of the week and the idea of time frame… it's a true stand-out.

Most of Carle's stuff is somewhere in the middle, though he has a few other superb ones.

Just like art for older audiences, there really is a range. You could say that all movies are the same: people having conflicts and doing stuff. On some level, they're all dramatic and simplistic.

It's not mere taste. What makes a great book or movie for any age is not total relativism.
It's a great idea and I'd love to have one, but $2k+ is just way out of my league financially.
Perhaps your other comments were also made in the context of Tesla discussions, which tend to be fairly polarizing.
I understand the macroeconomic argument, but I still think that the fact that inflation will totally destroy an uninvested, normal middle-class-sized savings account in less than a generation is a huge obstacle for normal people building wealth. That is the inherently bad thing about it.

I primarily attribute the growing "wealth gap"---the growth in the net wealth owned by the top 0.1% of people, from a 5% share in 1970 to a 20% share in 2020---to the end of Bretton-Woods and the gold standard (1971).
Yes! This is fantastic, thanks for sharing!
In most places, crimes are reported to the city by average people but then investigated to determine if anything actually occurred. As far as I know, Citizen lets people reports things with no filtering at all.

So by all means, use an anti-government stance to trust a stream of completely unverified claims.

My local paper does the service of publishing 911/police reports. Some would make it to a crime map but a lot of this merits a shrug. Example: "A caller from Rollins View Drive, near Bear Springs Road, reported a heated verbal altercation with a neighbor that ended when they spat in the caller’s face." - avoid heated arguments with neighbor. The only way this realistically gets into a crime report is if a cop/DA really doesn't like the spitter, etc.

Overall: Of course, police reports aren't fully accurate but the reports of "Citizen", being completely unfiltered, allow wingnuts and busybodies put out their narrative in an unfettered fashion.

Because there isn't really a bright line there. It could be a sample collected and nothing done, or it could be one they've tried on humanized mice or a bunch of other stuff.
The Crucial P1 is a budget SSD that doesn't come with a proper heatsink, similar in quality to that god awful "heat shield" in that linked review. When I say "High performance m.2 drives come with removable finned heatsinks" I mean an actual high performance drives that come with a finned heatsinks like https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Force-MP600-Gen4-PCIe/dp/B07S... not examples of budget drives paired with flat pieces of metal.

Also your high performance SSD should be going in the direct-to-CPU slot to the right of the GPU, not under it.
Things are so good here (really) that people are freaking out trying to create hobgoblins to fear.

We haven't tried anything yet. I'm about to get some users setup with ODBC access in Excel to make some manual data edits. Essentially we have some core data and some metadata that is managed manually and I'm looking for a light weight UI that these users can use to manage the metadata tables in Redshift.

I'd still have an FB social account if I could have disabled Messenger; people insisted on messaging me there even though I'd log in like once per month. I deleted my actual FB just to get people to stop trying to contact me on Messenger, because it was impossible to turn off.
Nigeria needs N36 trn investment in infrastructure to attain double digit growth
The creator of Prince of Persia, Jordan Mechner, has recently adapted the ancient Persian tale, Samak the Ayyar.

Samak, a rogue with the skills of a ninja and the ideals of a knight, leads his band of ayyars in a thrilling adventure of secret missions, battlefield heroics, love and intrigue. A masterpiece of Persia’s thousand-year-old oral storytelling tradition, Samak the Ayyar is a vivid glimpse into the enchanting world that inspired Prince of Persia.

Missing Latency Numbers. Which I suspect may be a little slower.
There are ways to engineer around this, but it’s going to depend on balancing risk management with business agility. Maybe you use Backblaze for object storage instead of S3. Maybe you use Cloudflare for CDN and Serverless at the edge. Maybe you use Mailgun or another SES competitor. Containers let you use managed k8s off the shelf anywhere. Lots of options for technologists, PMs, or CTOs to pick from.
The idea in the hn title is interesting - but I do not see anything on the page saying how it would work for bookmarks.. is it a bookmarklet like worpdress kind of thing?

A bookmark importer kind of idea?

I've never checked to see if anyone has made a bookmarks-file-importer for a blogging type thing - it's a good idea for many reasons.

Should be easy to import and create 'posts' in wordpress - I just don't know enough about the chrome and firefox bookamrks - how they are exported , the sqllite setup?

which makes me think it wouldn't be too hard to push an import/export into activitypub / mastadon / matrix..

If these things have been made I've not seen them - so there is some market for doing this kind of thing I believe - and I could see different types of people using bookmarklet like functionality if it was also one-click export the post to own blog plus insta plus fb plus whatever brdige matrix put out a while back.

random thoughts
Say the market price of a tree had dropped to $1 from $5. If you can export a tree for -$1 and create a domestic shortage which causes a tree domestically to be worth +$4. You effectively double the value of a tree. ( hope the math is right just trying to make an example )

I am not sure why they didn't just cut less trees other than they probably had bids that would expire ( another policy problem ).
Flutter is probably meant to be the native toolkit of a platform. I don’t think there is anything wrong with code-once toolkits that don’t use native widgets if they spend the effort to be accessible and have good UX.

I’m personally falling into the belief that we’ve fooled ourselves regarding UI. That one single UI library could actually be the ideal choice for every possible app, and that we just need to keep trying until the absolute perfect set of tradeoffs appears. I think this is enticing because UI is very hard and full of problems you would have to solve over and over if you had multiple UI frameworks, whereas these things could be amortized if there were less.

I don’t think so. I do think the UI ecosystem, as it slows down, could become more modular and share more core components. I expect to see “base” rendering libraries, like Skia or Pathfinder, powering next generation UIs, and hopefully someone will also make a cross-platform library to provide accessibility and IME primitives for Windows TSF/macOS/etc. I think smaller bits like that can clearly be minmax’d to ideal conditions for given use cases. But if you were hoping for a future of “just use the native toolkit!” I think it’s not likely, at least not until software slows down a lot more. Even then, lowest common denominator libraries like wxWidgets often end up being disliked by users and developers alike, due to the compromises needed for them to accomplish their goals. I’ll admit the story has gotten better with React Native and its success on mobile, but even that is not a perfect story: performance on Android was apparently not good enough for Discord, which may in fact be a pretty good signal for why something like Flutter is a good idea anyways: it can mature over time on existing platforms and then possibly even become the first class toolkit for something.

I do agree that most developers should prefer native over vanity, but it’s a false dichotomy, as there are plenty of valid reasons to not do native. No more is this clear than Windows, where virtually nobody does “native” anymore. (It can still be OK, but it’s not great. Having true HWNDs for every component is a great way to have things flicker whenever you delete/create new widgets.)

While some excellent children’s books are one-person projects, most of my favorite children’s books have separate author / illustrator. There is no indication that they are less “serious”. You can find a large pile of terrible books with any possible authorship structure.

I do get the sense however that picture books are usually better when the author and illustrator collaborate closely.
And companies like this will continue on, making the world worse for everyone. Including you. This cannot be changed by changing yourself.

It's not so hard. As human driver I ignore every hand waving if it's not from the guy in yellow vest who is standing on the middle of the road. I think computers can learn that too.
We can just hope the places where these systems are used are still inhabitable in ten years. As temperatures rise, the ability to sweat off enough heat declines, even when there is enough extra water to drink.

It is worst where humidity is also high, which anyway the desert areas of east central Africa do not suffer from, but Africa has plenty of high-heat/high-humidity habitat. If it becomes too hard for humans, I wonder what other animals will be able to do. What happens when chimpanzees can no longer live in the few remaining places they can now?
> It's been like this forever. Tribalism is nothing new

I don't think it's useful to say this. There's something different about these mobs, and maybe it's something amorphous like "reach" or the fact that they can feel so close while remaining so far away by invading our devices and mindspace without an opportunity for escape. Other mobs hold and espouse some high morals while acting entirely amorally, which I guess is what makes them look like the mobs of old.

The commonality I've read in survivor stories is that the victims had to "disconnect", which I think people view a bit lightly. That's a large cost in today's world. This problem is worth addressing.

This is really helpful, thanks! Maybe I’ve been too caught up in wondering whether my alt text would be burdensome to listen to on a screen reader that I’ve been missing the forest for the trees!
this sounds eerily similar to the main stream news media business model.
These reports are well written and are a nice read, but more raw data from the flights and insights on how they do the analysis is what I long for. What happened in the image pipeline, how bad was the oscillations really. Being 5 meters off the landing is good for IMU flight, maybe...
Okay, but what’s the benefit for go. I can iterate over slices, maps and channels (for ... range). Slices must have a capacity defined. What’s the benefit of lazy iterator?

for over a channel is in essence lazy. Channel stores the data as a linked list. So what’s the benefit.
The fact that you think photographers might have responded with “some vendor war” strongly suggests that your assumption about what photographers would take issue with in your post was seriously misguided.

How far back are we allowed to go.

Decades ago I had a Original Commodore PET 2001. It could only display white text/characters on a black screen. Foolish me having read a Byte magazine describing how a black & white colour wheel could make you see colours see: https://archive.org/details/byte-magazine-1977-02/page/n45/m... so I tried to get my PET colour to display colours using this method.

Trying different timings, all the while staring at the screen. I did this all day looking at flashing lights all the time.
Afterwards it turns out I could not see properly for hours.
But if you use V=9.0, now the result of the simulation is not longer equal to the experimental result. For example with alpha=0, beta=90, V=9, if I run the simulation 10 times I get

0.9536987797308330
0.9540514229678816
0.9534108516112525
0.9540204547111079
0.9535252821469831
0.9538811736228740
0.9541386030170054
0.9534090666514868
0.9538249532069655
0.9535418321159825

That is pretty consistently like 0.045 less than the expected result that is 1.0.

(It is weird, but if alpha=0, and V=9, and you change beta, then the error is very close to (45-beta)/1000, where beta is in degrees. It's probably not exactly 1000, because using a number in degrees is weird, but it's similar.)

The problem is not to find an alternative algorithm that predicts one of the results, the problem is finding one that predicts correctly all the results.

Not only am I interested to hear that "hot boxing" is an ancient practice, but also the sense of immediacy that I now have with ancient Persia over our shared etymology of kanab.
Sure, but that's still individual advice. Not everyone can move before everyone else moves.
"Graph databases are considered more powerful and modern than relational databases" vs. "Graph databases are quite hot"

These two statements are in no way equivalent.

I see what GP was complaining about. Even your opening para graph contains a fair bit of confusion. It reads like you are suggesting imperative languages were succeeded by object oriented, which were succeeded by functional in 'generations' - which is already incorrect on a couple of fundamental levels - and now the time is "ripe" for a "new paradigm" called declarative. Which is a language classification that has been around since nearly the beginning (first thing it makes me think of is Prolog, e.g. 1970s). So is this new or old?

This followed by a couple of pretty silly sounding assertions "almost no bugs" "10:1 reduction in life-cycle costs" which unsurprisingly are not supported.

Then we have the last sentence "For many graphical interactive or client/server applications, you can replace the entire development stack with one relatively simple tool.". Isn't that what you really want to convey?

When you get off on the wrong foot like that it's not hard to see why you've had some of the responses you have had. If you replaced the entire first paragraph with that last sentence you'd be far better off; the rest is poor communication, just getting in your own way.
These people don't see the real value proposition of the cloud. The value is not in "scaling when you need to". Sure, that can be very handy. But that is not what 99% of companies are getting out of the cloud 99% of the time.

If you self-manage, your capital investment is initially higher, and lower over time. At the same time, the effort it takes to reach the same results is always higher, and the quality of the end product may be lower, depending on how much service quality affects your product.

If you pay for managed services, your initial investment is lower, and higher over time. But at the same time, you require less effort, and you get higher quality outcomes.

This is obvious to anyone who has worked in the industry and done both. First, host your own service: JFrog Artifactory, Atlassian Confluence, GitLab, whatever. Now rapidly increase the demands on this service. As demand rises, quality will decrease, because it takes a lot of time, effort and expertise to build a very reliable hosted service. Now switch to a managed cloud instance. Suddenly, the service's average quality increases. Performance is steady regardless of increase in use. There are virtually no interruptions to your product or development.

The impact of a service's quality and reliability has ripple effects. If poor service quality slows down development, that means development quality will go down as people cut corners to try and meet deadlines. If the service is used for production, it means your product's quality will suffer, and that effects your bottom line. So a huge amount of the actual cost is not just paying for a service, but also how much business value is generated or lost due to service quality.

There is simply no way to replicate a managed service without becoming a managed service provider yourself. You have to become a whole new business within a business. It's like a yogurt company also becoming a dairy farm. Running a farm is not easy, and you will screw it up for several years. Seems obvious for farming, but for some reason people always underestimate this when it comes to technology.

On paper, the Cloud's value proposition is scalability. But in practice, the true value is actually as a force-multiplier for your product's quality, reliability, and time to market. (Time to market not just being "I launched my startup" but also "I released this new feature before my competitor")

I think this would make quite an interesting exercise for whatever it is one works on oneself; that is, what's the minimum, most innocuous patch that causes this behaviour?

I bet it's not as much as people railing against it would like to think.

I'm partly thinking of this because I fixed a (way less critical) bug today that boiled down to a (x - y) * z = 0 query that should've just been (x - y) = 0. But it was hidden by the whole expression being named, and that then seeming correct, it not being obvious that `z` could be 0 (or was involved at all) and as a result unwanted results would be included where x != y.

Probably the most obvious one is different IDs - have two fk columns that sound a bit similar and it's easy to come a cropper, getting 'random' records that correspond to a given ID but that's for the wrong table...
As an observer from the other side of the pond, I do feel that there's lots of companies built on unsubstantiated fear in the US. Times change and so do the threats, but in a nutshell:

•Nuclear bunkers to keep your family safe.
•Big guns because they will come for you.
•All sorts of tracking devices for kids.
•Surveillance systems for homes

So the latest seems to be a modern day witch-hunting for masses.

Yeah, for the first couple of paragraphs, I was sure they're summarizing some movie. Because I've already seen this exact story at least twice, played out to disastrous consequences.

One take was in "The Circle". Still not sure why people hate that movie, it's pretty much a documentary on Google and Facebook, and about the only fictional element in it are the advanced video cameras. That, and this vigilante crime tracking, which until now I thought nobody was insane enough to try and make a startup of.

Brown Bear, Brown Bear is an excellent book for very young children (say, under 2 years old). It’s not a deep book, but it is not trying to be.

It has attractive clear illustrations of one animal per page, a simple repeating structure with only a few new words each page, nice rhyme/meter. Its structure involves repeatedly anticipating the next animal, which makes it easy to memorize.

It is a book my kids enjoyed “reading” aloud to themselves at age 1.5–2 before they could fully remember the content of more complicated picture books.

Of course, this isn’t the only type of book small kids should be listening to, and in the genre of extremely simple picture books there is a lot of abject garbage.
You still have to be willing to accept that whatever actions you take against misinformation will occasionally be taken against things that are actually true.

That also means that over time, the credibility of the entities that flag 'misinformation' will inevitably erode: as more people are exposed to things they know, perhaps first-hand, are true, but are flagged as 'misinformation'.
