I use fish for general use, but still write all my scripts with bash. It has worked very well for me.
This is my problem. I very badly want to build some of these (particularly the Saturn V and some of those huge Technic supercar models), but I really don't need another tchotchke collecting dust on a shelf.
Are people really comfortable with it? Or just not given in any choice in the matter and lacking any practical means of stopping them?
There are lots of developers who realize that running a business is not for them. It's completely valid to say something along those lines; "I love the tech work, but not the admin/sales work."
Here's a random thought I've had: if an astronaut jumps off the ISS at exactly the right angle and speed, he could collide with the ISS again after one period. The period is given by the area of the orbit, so it should be straightforward to solve for the angle given a jumping velocity, an orbit and a current position. Something for Felix Baumgartner to consider...
Oh, for a moment I thought the article was about Autobots …
My crazy notion is to attach some kind of mechanical remora to offending vessels. Something that attaches below the water line. Slows the vessel. Messes with the nets. Has to go back to port to be removed.

Or maybe ensnare the vessels, like the Tholians did to USS Enterprise. Defenders equip fast ships with spools of nylon. Race around the offenders, dragging the nylon, hoping to tangle their props. Mindful to stay out of gun shot range.
Ritalin (the UK version of anyway) is the one I've been put on yeah. Adderall equiv is on the table if this doesn't work but so far it seems to be the right track
Humans aren't a fungible resource. When Amazon fires a worker, or that worker quits because of poor conditions, it's going to be significantly more difficult to convince that person to come back. Amazon sets up its warehouses in low-cost areas where fewer people live. I can certainly imagine that they could run out of people. How many times can you source a 350k person workforce before you exhaust the local supply of willing laborers? Not that many, I imagine.
I hope it'll not bring captcha hell, as Google does for using VPNs. Twitter is simply blocking my VPN provider. eBay sends scary email every time I login.
For 2, what are you leaving safe search at? When off, that seems like it's probably correct behavior for a search engine, and google removes it as people find it undesirable.
Your assumption is wrong. Why would you double down on a bad argument? Don't you have a linux environment to type man free in before making that claim?

It's just an overall bad argument. I don't see how `Get-CimInstance -Class Win32_OperatingSystem` is in any way memorable

There are also set-theoretic constructions of the Reals that satisfy the axioms (e.g. Dedekind cuts)
"Now all the legitimate data that were saved on their local storage is gone and they complains."

Not necessarily. Cookie !== localStorage (although... localStorage didn't exist at the time, IIRC).

My point was "we" (it/tech folks, but mainly browser makers) got ourselves in to this mess in the first place, and rather than making things more obvious and easier to deal with at that time, we seemed to double down on more obscure UIs.

I swear, pretty much every Netscape release, and later, for years, every other Firefox release, changed where/what/how cookie mgt was located in their UI.

"most people don't understand what cookie really is"

And that's... whose fault? Putting a big-ass 'COOKIE' button, with transparency in to what data is there, with quick options to remove it all, would have gone a LONG way to normalizing understanding. See some unknown shit in there? Delete it. If enough important things start breaking after deletion, people would have adapted (either users, or developers).

"delete unnecessary data" - there's pretty much nothing people put in cookies that is truly 'necessary' for most folks.

We didn't give people usable tools to manage this stuff, so eventually people turned to legislative means.
Some indexes are really big. Plus, when you index a page, you must be sure that you are not indexing your email inbox. It would be better if the index is on the cloud, while the crawlers are distributed, but are not part of your browser.

I agree, if it's likely your deficient you should get tested and supplement as necessary. That's my point. It should be done as part of evidence based medicine and not a random thing you decide to do with no supporting evidence.

It wasn't widely reported, but DuckDuckGo recently bought Yippy, which was a semi-decent search engine with its own crawler and index.

"Technology has become the idol of our society, but technological progress is—more often than not—aimed at solving problems caused by earlier technical inventions."

Would you burn on reentry if you managed to deorbit yourself?
> At the right angle and velocity, you might even fall back into Earth’s atmosphere and burn up.

That's highly unlikely. Scott Manley has a video [1] examining whether an astronaut could deorbit a small object with human power, and not really. And that's something small, not a massive thing like an astronaut. Fun video though.

I use the fish shell and have for several years now.

A few years back I did a startup with a friend -- a cross platform mobile product but with a mess of complex open-source c++ dependencies (which we forked and customized often) -- and we made the decision as we hired developers to over-specify some aspects of the machine environment to make it as easy as possible to share our development workflows. Note that "development workflow" is much more than just "i can run the app in docker" -- but rightfully includes -- I can efficiently run things in debugger, I can run the performance profiling tools in realistic ways, I can quickly execute and test a change someone else is trying to make, I can quickly share a change I'm making with someone else and be confident they can make realistic observations about it, i can setup a fast repro loop for some specific bug or feature ... etc.

We did a pretty good job of getting the know now needed for all those workflows distributed across the team reliably with low effort despite some complicated and weird build system requirements associated with our dependencies.

One of the big bang for buck tricks that helped more than I would've expected was to mandate that everyone had to use fish shell. This really reduces the number of weird effects from random things that people copy/paste into their bash initialization -- with the developer never imagining the strange knock off effects that will one day cause a tool they don't understand to behave in a flaky way for a reason they will never figure out ...

The amount of terrible things that developers randomly accumulate in their bash initialization probably can't be underestimated ... there's probably more risk of "weird problems" associated with advice on stack overflow related to bash initialization than maybe any other topic ...

So I personally think standardizing a team or startup on an alt shell can be a potentially good idea ...

As another point of evidence -- I later headed devops at another startup that took opposite perspective -- "use your own machine and your machine can be configured however you want and you just have to figure out dev workflows on your own" and it was extremely difficult to share knowledge about how to accomplish a lot of these basic workflows ... doing anything beyond the most basic ways of interacting with the codebase often involved a rather large amount of hands on dev machine troubleshooting (can you send me your .bashrc and .profile and .bash_profile? ok type these commands ... ok now you can grab my branch and try this to have a look at the thing i'm trying to change ...)

fish is reliable and stable though -- I'm not sure about using a shell that's not been around for awhile in this way ... but I'd support it I think if I already had personal experience that the shell was "reliable enough" ...
Yep - it indicates a level of self-awareness and the ability to not take yourself too seriously, which is something I would appreciate even subconsciously as an interviewer.
Oxygen running out would be the same as breathing an inert gas atmosphere... it's the CO2 that gets ya

[edit: my point, less flippantly stated, is that mere hypoxia isn't as stressful as having your breathing gas fill up with CO2, as CO2 is what creates the breathing panic reflex.]
Thanks a lot. APIs and python SDK coming soon to make it easy to connect to Airflow. DBT integration is in the roadmap.
No, they got an enormous amount of VC money for years. They reached a $1 billion valuation in just two years after founding (2012), faster than Uber/Dropbox/Lyft etc did.
This statement denies reason.

There are plenty of ways in which we can technology our way out, even if we accept your premises (which, to be clear, I don’t but I’m willing to play ball).

Indeed, our only option – save for some type of genocidal movement – is to technology ourselves out of the climate crisis.

1. Engineer trees that store more carbon in denser and long lasting root systems

2. Create drone systems to plant and maintain tons more trees

3. Improve energy capture technology to reduce our net new greenhouse gases

4. Create more efficient motors for the same reason as above

5. Create new recycling technologies so we can reuse more of the stuff we already have without mining more

6. Speaking of raw material acquisition, we can mine asteroids instead of our own planet

7. Transition more activities online to reduce the need for physical travel for more things

8. Hell, move more business to the internet to reduce the environmental footprint of office space

Literally this list can go on and on. Technology is the only thing that fundamentally improves the trajectory of human society.
"No scientific basis" means you look at the best scientific evidence we have today and make informed decisions based on it. You don't make stuff up with the hope that it's helpful.

There are a bunch of things they can do:

* raise wages

* change job conditions

* build better filters for who they hire

Right now, you can apply for a job at Amazon through a Web form and get a response back in 15 min. An algorithm, some parts of it powered by ML, is probably doing that. And it's probably creating false negatives. Look at who it's rejecting, and improve the algorithm.
I would add that it's also very difficult to study and develop countermeasures without cultivating cutting-edge knowledge of how such weapons are designed, built and operated. Doing that means you eventually need field data. The slope is extremely slippery, but it's also dangerous not to traverse it.
Story on how Airbnb is failing to support its own anti-discrimination team
Hi HN! I'm one of the founders of Portal. We're excited (and nervous) to see what HN thinks about a product we've been working on for about a year. Portal lets you setup a client portal, so that your clients can login on your own website and have a unified place to send messages, share files, make payments, and more.

Before starting Portal we ran an agency. We couldn't find a great solution that streamlines the experience for our clients so we decided to build our own customer portal. After launching, the idea immediately resonated with other agencies so we quickly rebuilt the product so that anyone could quickly set up their own portal. The idea of providing your clients a streamlined portal struck a nerve outside of agencies as well; so we now serve many really interesting companies - chemistry labs, insurance startups, bookkeeping businesses, etc.

Each portal comes with support for messaging, file-sharing, eSignatures, payments, and forms. Most features we built from scratch so that we could prioritize UX and do things like (1) unify notifications, (2) be fully white label, and (3) make it easier to setup automations across features. You can also embed products you already use. For example, many connect Airtable charts to share project progress with clients and others connect Google Data Studio dashboards so that clients have real-time access to analytics. Every portal is customizable so you can set your theme, design your login screen, upload your logos, and connect a custom domain. After you setup a portal, people usually add a "Client portal" button on their marketing website navbar, so that existing clients have a clear sign in path.

If you're curious to learn more, our website is here(https://www.joinportal.com) and our self-serve onboarding flow is here (https://start.joinportal.com/onboarding).

Any feedback or questions welcome! :)
Making asserting statements when you don't have any evidence for such assertion is also BS, which sadly adds up to the already existing BS on the internet.

So why not stop adding to it.
That's not conflating, that's basic definitions.

The problem with this whole thread is that economic growth can come from multiple sources. Increases in efficiency are a very positive source of sustainable economic growth with major environmental benefits. Slash and burn farming or strip-mining is temporary economic growth that will leave the future impoverished.

That's why everybody here is talking past each other.
They are important, but ignoring every contrary indicator (per capita GDP, life expectancy, quality of life, etc) in order to exaggerate the extent to which the US lags other nations is the very definition of cherry picking. The US is squarely a first-world country even if it lags various countries other first world countries in certain regards. No doubt this “third world country” business is hyperbole for many people who invoke it (although I think there are many who invoke it who sincerely believe it or just have no moral scruples whatsoever), I’m just saying such rhetoric is unhelpful at best and probably divisive and misleading.
> If you think a 1x1 round piece is unusable/pointless, you are truly lacking in imagination.

I think you're underestimating the percentage of bricks in modern sets that can be described like this. They're very hard to mash up (e.g. "I'm going to use these two castle sets to build a totally different GIANT castle!" or "Now this pirate base is an oceanographic research center!"), to add on to, and to repair if damaged. Plus they're just damn tiny for the part count.

They do sell the buckets still, which is always the retort to complaints about modern sets, but it makes me sad that the entire way I played with LEGO sets when I was growing up is nearly impossible with (most) modern sets (the ones intended for kids, I mean—I don't care if the ones plainly marketed to adults aren't good for those things, of course).
Thank you for taking the time to explain things at least. I don't personally rely that much on "instant answers"- at least for the things that I'm most likely to have to look up, but I can see why they're so useful.

EDIT: Also, back to the point: any plans when it comes to only relying on Bing for images? That was the issue in the end- least how I understood it.
The Rust compiler is roughly “parse -> AST -> HIR -> MIR -> LLVM IR -> binary.” I forget exactly where editions are erased (and I’m on my phone so it’s hard to check), but for sure it’s gone by the time MIR exists, which is where things like the borrow checker operates. Edition based changes only affect the very front end of the compiler, basically. This is a necessary requirement of how editions work.
For example, it is part of the interoperability story; because the main representation is edition agnostic, interop between crates in different editions is not an issue.

… I don’t know how to say this truly politely, but let’s just say I’ve had a few conversations with pjmlp about editions, and I would take the things he says on this topic with a large grain of salt.
There are a couple of reasons.

DNT is primarily about tracking, this new spec is more general and covers much more processing of personal data, and allows one to opt-in (or out) of specific instances of processing of specific (categories) of data.
This kind of vague, high-level language is exactly why, if you reject cookies, you'll receive the same damn popup next time you visit the website until you relent and click Yes.

Actual substance farming doesn’t get to use beasts of burden.

Farmers need trade with an outside source to get new horses after the old one dies. However, a farm at break even can be paying for needed supplies like horses, which is in effect subsistence farming because there is no long term surplus.
Humanity has starved, struggled and regularly died in mass for millenia.

Now the population is 100 times larger than it was a few centuries ago, and more and more people are living in a post-scarcity society.

And yes, thanks to all the pioneers, entrepeneurs and geniuses that took an idea or insight into a mass market product. They are who truly deserve the credit.
What's your point? When you make a medical decision it should be based on the best research done to date. Just because existing research doesn't mean something isn't true isn't a reason to do it.
You know what they say, just make your own search engine.

I'm glad people are coming around to the fact that information is now controlled by a few giant tech companies.

> The BBC is the producer and license owner of a ton of programming

The BBC is complete license owner of virtually zero programming. Almost all (as in 99.9%+) of their content uses substantial third party copyright works where the cost implications of selling internationally still apply (just the music rights alone will drive you mad, and it's far from uncommon for BBC content that is shown in the UK to have a different soundtrack to the internationally sold version to the likes of Netflix due to the licensing cost and complexity).

It is also worth noting that the BBC makes a lot less than people think, especially if you consider BBC studios to be a quasi-separate production entity now (which it is!).
Thanks a lot Steve for being an early adopter and all the valuable feedback. We are working on webhook source. We are also working with the Avo team for a deeper integration with their platform. That and more data governance stuff coming soon - early next quarter.
I've been using Xonsh[0] for a couple years as my daily driver and I swear by it. I'm also a Python dev so that's part of the appeal. It's billed as the "unholy union" of Bash and Python.

> If you don't have economic growth, then tomorrow cannot be better then today.

Untrue, just look at Europe before and after the Bubonic Plague.

You see massive economic collapse, but people are better off.

Well, the people who are still alive are better off.
It has several interesting properties. It is quite a rabbit hole, but a nice one to get lost into.

I would say that the most interesting thing you should know about them is that practically everything they do is manipulating a stack (actually, there are usually two stacks, I don't know if this is the case for Stabel).

What I find more interesting about them is their simplicity (comparable only to Lisp), which makes possible writing a basic interpreter in only a few lines of code. Being more concrete, an important property of concatenative languages is that they allow a point-free programming style, which gets a bit to get used to but really makes you think in a different way.

If you already feel curious, I would suggest the book "Starting FORTH" before looking into more modern (and practical) alternatives.
> Lack of imagination is not our problem. It's so good that we supply our best talent to the US

Isn’t that the point? Europeans individually are creative but there’s not a reward system in place for them, thus they flee to the US.

Sort of like European basketballers coming to the US or the opposite with soccer players.

Some things are both virtuous, and worth signalling to others.
That's the point, they're treated as a locus of labour power and nothing more. Workers are hired solely to drain as much labour power from them as possible, a condition of which is obviously giving them the rudimentary means of reproduction. Keep in mind your argument applies equally to chattel slaves, in fact even more so: for they were owneed, whereas Amazon merely rents its labour, and in case of ill-health can easily replace them. I don't think slaves were, by any meaningful standard, 'treated quite well' - and neither do I think most Amazon workers are.

I believe oxygen running out would mean the suit is no longer pressurized. I assume that is traumatic. The description of the Soyuz 11 autopsies seems to confirm that (brain hemorrhaging, high lactic acid, etc).
No, it's an identification factor.
Trees use the C3 pathway. There are much faster-growing plant species (for example bamboo, switchgrass) that could be incorporated into a BECCS process.
This is absolutely correct. I strongly suspect the people who say things about the US being a third world country have no experience in second world countries, much less third world.
