That's really the only explanation for hattmall's perception of cold records being broken... because winters are actually getting warmer, and the number of record cold temperatures is lower than it has typically been in the past:

https://www.climate.gov/news-features/blogs/beyond-data/warm...

I would add also that we now read news from all over. Instead of counting the number of local temperature events... we now count the number of temperature events from all over (the entire country, if not the world) because that's what the news presents to us. So we might perceive an increase in events, while in reality it has decreased. As such is the case in cold temperature records.
I don’t think it’s YouTube, it’s the computer itself. The problem is getting on the computer with no purpose. If you’re sitting on the computer, with no direction, you will end up mesmerizing yourself with whatever you find interesting.

I think the solution is to stop sitting around on the computer/phone in the first place. If you stop using YouTube, but sit there on your phone for no reason, you’ll just end up wasting time on something else.
The five relevant questions are, as best as I can remember right now:

1) Is the user's camera on, transmitting an H.264-encoded stream?

2) Is the user using virtual backgrounds, which have a CPU minimum requirement beyond that of the rest of Zoom?

3) Is the user screen sharing, transmitting an H.264-encoded stream, with or without the full-motion video checkbox enabled?

4) How many attendees are shown on the user's screen and are being H.264-decoded to the display?

5) Does Zoom use Apple's A/V interfaces for H.264 encoding and decoding, directly or indirectly, and has Apple (not Zoom!) improved the watts used for those operations on the M1 CPU?

#5, at least, I can consider. I'm looking inside the Zoom macOS binary now and I see a variety of functions in aomhost that are, essentially, image and video stream processing functions, with custom code for _avx2 and _sse2, on my Intel Mac. Zoom supposedly released an M1 native update in December, but I don't (yet) know how to get the M1 client on my Intel Mac to inspect further.

EDIT: Found the M1 client: https://zoom.us/download, "Apple Silicon". In the M1 client, the framework aomhost, which contained x64-optimized function names, is absent; as well as libmpg123. Framework aomagent replaces ApplicationServices with ColorSync,CoreGraphics. So at least for #5, I suspect that Zoom is using Apple's encoding/decoding interfaces, since there's little chance they ported the third-party open source libraries to native macOS interfaces. They're still bundling OpenSSL 1.1.1k rather than using Apple's SSL interfaces, so presumably they only rewrote the MPEG interfaces because they had SSE/AVX optimizations.
It's not just a matter of putting in enough man-hours to create decent bindings. Native-C++ libraries are hard to write good bindings for in the best of times, typically requiring C wrappers with limited functionality and/or significant runtime overhead. Creating workable and safe (but still non-idiomatic) bindings for a C++ library from a language like Rust with a very different object model (can't use C++ templates or define new C++ subclasses; functions called from Rust must not throw C++ exceptions) and a far stricter type system than either C or C++ (borrow checking, lifetimes, thread-safety enforced at the type level) can be next to impossible. Even if you succeed, the result will be restricted to the least common denominator supported by both C++ and Rust and will never feel like a native Rust library.

This is not to say that Rust could not benefit from the significant effort which has gone into developing Qt, but a Rust port of Qt might be more workable than bindings to the C++ toolkit.
Where are the docs? Is it historical, live, or both? What kind of data is it? Is it just a marketing ploy to get my email and no actual finished product exists?

Well in a way houses are still built for the local climate, but the local climate has abundant cheap energy.

Building houses to be better insulated and able to tolerate extreme temperature events with just minor discomfort is possible[0], but it is also more expensive. If you spend $50,000 more to insulate a house to tolerate this, and it reduces the energy costs by $1,200/year, then financially it's not worth it [1]. Of course for the environment that's a big difference, but capitalism :-)

[0] I live in Northern Europe, in a house built to our pretty strict building standards, and we don't even turn on the heating until it goes below freezing outside. Yesterday we had highs of 32C (90F) - which is hot for here - and I was out so the AC was off. When I came home in the afternoon, our living room which directly faces south and has no shade other than decorative blinds was... 25C (77F).

[1] Average stock market returns over the last century are around 10% per year. Even if you conservatively half that, it still doesn't work out.

In my country, as a salaried dev, I can definitely get sued for copyright infringement if I decide to quit working for a company and open a competing business. Even if I didn't intentionally copied any code/asset the legal process by itself would be a hassle to deal with when I'm just starting a business and depending on how I decided to write my new stuff for my business I can indeed be found guilty because I unintentionally copied myself (same design decisions, using the same tech stack, variable naming convention, same price formula for... to the point that could be reasonable argued that I just copied and pasted some important portions if not the whole code base), so yeah, if I decided to do something like this I would quit before writing a single line of code for my business and probably take a vacation/work on something else for a few weeks, before jumping in.
Imagine being a Prius drives who isn't even a rideshare driver who has to contend with drunk, often entitled a-holes (not saying you were one) assuming their car is an Uber.
No. Your employer is simply irrelevant outside work hours. It's as if you had quit.
I think it all comes down to how you feel. Ethics are relative.

I can never willingly take work from a military institution because thinking of what they do gives me nausea – some people however feel of it as patriotism.

> for I see no evidence that any earthly creatures other than humans can actually reflect on their own feelings and therefore create an emotional feedback loop that serves to intensify emotions.

Haven’t we observed complex human-like emotions for elephants, dolphins, and various other primates (eg grieving rituals for lost family members)? Heck even dogs clearly show signs of depression and happiness although whether they reflect on these feelings (whatever that means) is obviously up in the air.

I think climate change is real and that human activities contribute. I think climate change is a more accurate term than global warming.

I also liked what one of my professor's said: "We are like fleas on the butt of a dog trying to figure out which way the dog is going."

I've enjoyed some fictional stuff, like episodes of the various Star Trek series, that had stories about planets experiencing catastrophe caused by increasing levels of asteroid activity or similar events out in space. I liked the detail that the plot for the movie Pitch Black hinged on a long period of darkness caused by an eclipse on an alien planet.

The earth is a living, evolving world and the layer of human-friendly biosphere is impacted by many long-term processes that we little understand and are ill equipped to accurately predict. Change is real. The need to adapt is real. This is actually stressful and all for humans across the globe.

That doesn't mean we are doomed and it doesn't mean we really know what comes next.

NSM can potentially be used with JACK on win and macos. It also works with JACK implementation of PipeWire for Linux.

I expect Linux audio to converge on PW (unifying alsa, jack, and pulse in the process).

Linux video has this split with Wayland which is a whole different problem (I want my fluxbox :/). PW originates as Pulse Video, and designed to work with gstreamer pipelines and wayland compositing. aiming for better userspace separation of hardware and applications. I really love the idea of having JACK, but then for video. (no more vloopback hacks, named pipes or random socket servers to bounce framebuffers between applications)

JACK will then live on for dedicated Pro Audio applications and hopefully on win and macos as the old-skool "this also works" audio API that really only a small niche uses (and can break at the snip of silicon valley's fingers).
Pretty much this. I've worked in the field. If you do development work, drivers, and/or have installed certificates or root CAs that are "rare" or not installed on a large majority of machines, they absolutely WILL be uploaded.

If you are detected to be a reverse engineer based on running processes or otherwise, even if it has nothing to do with the game, expect significantly more surveillance too, up to and including literal streaming shellcode running from the server at the highest privilege level at any time, none of which you can control.
Yep, that was pretty dumb of me.

It's not really about 'real world, individual people'.

It's a #MeToo era-story which is used to narrate supposedly 'real world threats'.

The reason that some might be upset, is because you have a real world story of a 'nice guy' - who was used as the basis to narrative a story about how 'men are bad' aka a warning about 'toxic masculinity' etc..

Here is 'The Atlantic's headline of the original 2017 publication:

"The depiction of uncomfortable romance in "Cat Person" seems to resonate with countless women." [1]

Here is NPR's headline:

"'Cat Person' Author's New Book Evokes #MeToo Themes" [2]

WaPo:

"Opinion: ‘Cat Person’ is a next step in the #MeToo movement" [3]

So that's literally the first three pieces that came up in the Google search - and those three publications are 'major, respected, institutions'. All three are using the 'creative fiction' to promote a narrative about men's supposed actions etc..

It's obviously not just about 'some random bit of fiction that happened to be about real people and those real people are upset'.

If this was Stephen King, who used his 'Real Life Doctor' as the inspiration for some diabolical character - that would be the story. But there wouldn't be any elevation of the story into some kind of narrative in that case ... so it'd just be about a possibly upset Doctor.

[3] https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-partisan/wp/2017/1...

Edit:

Here's a gem [4] it's literally an academic publication using the original story as basis for describing narcissism in the role of the oppression of women.

"I argue that Beauvoir’s notion of narcissism is an important tool for feminists today—well beyond the interpretation of Cat Person. It presses us to see systematic subordination not just as something done to women, but also as something women do to themselves. This in turn highlights the neglected role of self-transformation as a key aspect of feminist political resistance."

This is pseudo-intellectual hyperbole (published!) over a story that amounts to a giant lie.

It's intellectual bigotry.

> But that's not how assimilation happens these days right?

What about cultural imperialism? A language shapes your identity because it literally gives the grammar to your thoughts. But other cultural goods like music, netflix, youtube, tv, you name it, do shape our cultural grammar just as much. This is a point I don't expect anyone already embedded in the dominant culture to find salient, because the culture we are in is as transparent as sea is to fish.

> People are begging to come to wealthy countries

If people had comparable prospects at home, so few would actually leave. If you look at the non-asylum-seeking immigration reasons (i.e. the "beggars" in your words), it is primarily about economic hardship, with persecution, violence, war, human rights added on top. Guess what, in an interconnected international arena, wealthy countries have more culpability about those conditions than we care to admit.
Well, ok. But you've named all your functions here so I'm not sure which part of this you're arguing about.

or

triangle_numbers = if(true, 0, f)

tells me that whatever f is something weird is going on. Commenting if statements to point out that they are branching code is foolish.

Heating takes a lot more energy generally than air conditioning (citation needed) in the US. Which makes sense when you think of the difference in temperatures from the inside of the house and the outside in winter compared to summer. Many people complain about the rise of air conditioning and how much energy it wastes, but actually it allows people to not live in the cold parts of the country, and is probably a net positive energy saver.

Here is a great chart on home energy use [1].

I'm actually based in Utrecht ;) Looking at all the comments here it seems there's possibly lots of old films being shown (depending on your geo) but awareness is very low. I've certainly never seem tv ads or posters that advertise old films. Maybe it's something that smaller cinemas tend to do, as you say, but the 10+ screens megaplexes do a LOT more volume. I will definitely look at some of the smaller cinemas to see what they show nowadays.
When I was in India they were at least honest about this. They said the meter in the rickshaw was only for locals :-) The ride was still only $10 for what would probably be $50 at home so can't complain...
There are repertory cinemas. One that at least some HN readers might be familiar with is the Stanford Theatre, on University Avenue in Palo Alto, which shows almost exclusively black-and-white films from the golden age of Hollywood.
