If your concern is sustainability then a fertility rate closer to 2.1 should be your goal. 1.3 is just collapse. Right now in the US we have 3 workers for every retired person. Imagine instead a world where every worker is supporting four retirees. It doesn't matter how you structure or fund your pensions, that just isn't going to work.
This is utterly ridiculous. These opinions indulge the sexist behaviour/actions of a few people by confirming any sexism that might exist. Men and women are equal, sex is a wonderful thing. There’s nothing wrong with being male or female or whatever you wish to be.
I use old.reddit.com on desktops because their "updated" interface is absolutely horrendous. There is a tab in preferences to opt out of the redesign too.

Yes, of course they are. It's well established.

But some harmful things are worth the tradeoff if you can maintain a low enough dose (sugar or caffeine)
I've tried it but it's unfortunately not viable for my use. The (large) codebase needs to be in an ntfs filesystem for reasons beyond my control. With WSL1 the process startup is even slower than starting windows git and with WSL2 the process startup is fast but the filesystem access is slow. In both cases it ends up much slower even than native windows git.
Just because something is true doesn't make it something we are allowed to acknowledge as being so.
> I would like someone to do a "Years of life saved" calculation that tallies the expected years save by switching smokers to vaping balanced against those who were attracted by vaping who eventually went to smoking. My guess is even with the new entrants the years of life saved would be extraordinary.

My understanding is entire high schools are getting addicted to vaping, where before smoking was a relatively minor phenomenon. I suspect vaping is causing multiple times as much harm as it is providing relief, especially since they target young people for new customers.

I know plenty of people that have never smoked in their lives that vape regularly. I actually don't know a single smoker that switched to vaping, but I think that latter part is rare and unique to me.

So, if I'm correct, I don't think it should be "years of life saved" but "years of life lost," and I'd bet it's astonishingly high since many of those high school kids will be addicted for life. Don't forget Juul got billions (not millions) in funding from the cigarette companies in exchange for 35% ownership, so it's all the same to them - addiction is money.
Show HN: Starter Flow – Like TurboTax for starting a company
Here's a editor-agnostic magit-inspired git TUI I wrote some time back:

I used to use it inside IntelliJ console when Emacs wasn't available.
I'm curious. What does it do for Japanese input? Henkan suggestions?
1) Electronics manufacturing tends to consolidate which results in no market. We went almost 10 years without a single company producing a phone with a GPU that had open source drivers for example

2) They're only asking that companies not make it legally impossible or use software to prevent people from buying and replacing components. IMO the only reason you would do that is to force people to throw away broken devices.
Are the scare quotes necessary? In this case, they are somewhat misleading, as it's not the industry group (Professional Audio Manufacturers Alliance) that called the changes obvious, but rather this particular article.
The best strategy is to use stratospheric aerosol injections to stabilize temperatures over the next 50-100 years until carbon capture is ready to scale.

The problem with carbon capture is the high energy cost. So you need a source of cheap, abundant energy. Obviously the energy source itself can’t emit carbon. That most likely looks like fusion when we finally crack it circa 2100.

Until stratospheric aerosols are highly effective, dirt cheap and require very little energy. We absolutely know they work from historical volcano events. The only downside is they need to be constantly refreshed every year because they dissipate over time. So they’re a medium-term, not a long-term solution. But that buys us enough time to really get carbon capture right.
This is weird, because some high-end, expensive things that are great usually lack testimonials because their buyer demographics would never care about them anyway. However, it would be nice to have them for new ML services because you don't know how good it could possible be.
> The distributed ledger adds security, longevity, ownership, and provenance: eg. a token is purchased from an artist, and it can be held and traded (ie. "owned") for as many years as the blockchain continues to survive. Unlike the ownership of a file or record in a centralized database, which are mutable and based on a single source of trust, the blockchain acts as a social consensus mechanism, i.e. we can all agree that "wallet X owns digital token Y."

Is there any advantage over a traditional certificate signed by PKI? I'd say the risk of X.509 PKI in its entirety disappearing is significantly lower than the risk of any individual blockchain startup failing. (How's that for decentralised redundancy!)

> To your second point: much of today's art is not manifested by a single physical artefact. Conceptual art has been around for a long time; ownership of conceptual art is not new[1] but the advent of blockchain gives a new vehicle and distribution mechanism for it, in particular digital and software art.

So we're back to hype for the sake of hype, detached from any technical merit.
Sure, but I doubt anyone would say that about some of the other lagrange points.
Male/female terminology cuts through noise and using male/female for plugs translates to probably every language immediately if you are trying to convey what plugs into what.

I can see a possibility that it had real utility in communicating concepts across completely, different languages, where using the words socket and plug might have caused confusion and more time spent in translation.

`git add -p` is nice, but Magit's UI is superior, IMO.

I don't know a way to stage individual lines from a given hunk separately in Git's interactive add, but in Magit's that's easy - just select the line you want and press s.

I've even occasionally staged part of a line via selection, when I've actually had two distinct bugfixes on the same line.
My point wasn't the treatment of Snowden but rather that the claim that:

Interesting. Do you mind if I ask which countries? I did hear that the IRS 'gets you' where ever you are but I assumed it was sort of unique in that.

Aren't most countries either no longer interested in you once you leave (tax wise) or have tax treaties with one another? Including government pensions in the treaty?
Well such groups are praising the change, so it seems they support it. From the linked article

> “Shoutout to PAMA for introducing neutral language for the audio industry,” said Karrie Keyes, Executive Director of the women-in-audio advocacy group SoundGirls.org, as well as monitor engineer for Pearl Jam/Eddie Vedder. “This is a tremendous undertaking and is important to continue working toward meaningful changes in our industry.”
This is really interesting. I never really think of it from their perspective. And the case of:

- either you can, just be calm and act rationally / work within reasonable limit, focus on overall productivity.

- or you won't be able to catch up anyway

makes the case much clearer. I think there would be a category "you might or might not be able to survive, depending on how much work / luck you have" might exist, but the chance to fall on that sweet spot is quite slim.

I like your idea regarding the mind game about hiding/boasting the pressure.
I don't know about Him, but at least when working with C++ I feel the compile time is entirely up to deliberate tradeoffs. With better planning and more effort made with forward headers, better implementation boundaries w/pimpl like constructs, and otherwise linking, and avoiding meta-programming entirely, I've not found it to be an issue.

Incremental C++ builds can be lightning fast, or it can be ridiculously slow. I've worked on large projects where change + incremental compile + test was less than 5 seconds. And I've worked with project where no effort was made where the same could take 10 minutes.
> WC/Euro/Copa/UCL/etc final stage games would be flooded with OG

Another factor is the difference of team dynamics in Club vs International football. The first three you mentioned are all international tournaments (nations play each other) while UCL is club football.

Consider that national teams only play a handful of times over a season (generally 2x per international break), and then on to a big event like the Euros. And all the other times they play outside of a tournament (friendlies, tournament quals) their manager is trying to win and tweak the team at the same time. Not to mention, the selection pool for a national team is very limited compared to what even a mid-table club could assemble (Arsenal, looking at you :P ).

So, national teams playing this tournament are not only stressed, they are also less-acquainted with each other.

I guess you could argue for comparing Euros and Copa America but another thing to keep in mind is the variance of skill level per player in this tournament. I find it reasonable to claim the variance is less in Euros than in Copa (quick reason: Messi, Neymar, Aguero, Coutinho, Firmino, etc. all play in European clubs but are eligible for Copa).

This gap in skill in Copa makes OGs less likely. South American defenders don't always deal with Messi or Neymar but the European defenders and strikers could've played (with or against) each other in club competition. This makes close situations leading to OGs more likely.
Temperatures aren't the only problem. So is ocean acidification, and that depends directly on carbon dioxide.
Incremental compilation. Once you get the first build done, subsequent builds are much faster.

Also a project is likely to be split up over multiple crates, so a lot of the changes you make will require building and testing just that one crate.
Except when it isn’t like in the OP’s article. Also, when datacentres inevitably go down, traffic will be rerouted, potentially to other countries.
In most cases, the riches from natural resources fund a cleptocratic regime, which does very little for the actual people. Often, the riches create conflicts (wars, civil wars) between competing cleptocracies, and the people suffer greatly in result.

You actually do, in this case. If using the terms "male" and "female" causes harm, the harm it causes is psychological. You can't really realize it from the outside. There is nothing to pre-empt here: These terms are already used to either they already cause harm or they won't start doing so. Which means there is no reason to effectively guess if they cause harm since you can actually ask someone who you think may be harmed. Solving a problem that doesn't actually exist is just a waste of time and resources. Moreover, it gives people the impression that "wokeness" in general is just pointless virtue signalling.
Yes, I certainly feel much better now I read that thank you. I think I'll probably use opn then.
That's a good point. As an exercise for the reader, let's try to write an outrage article from the opposing viewpoint:

One of the shining examples of body shaming and societal opression of sexual expression is the recent push of changing the naming of audio plugs as "male" and "female", calling this naming "gross" and "problematic", as if genitalia was something to be ashamed of instead of treating it as a natural an everyday thing.

OK I'm not very good at this, I'm sure someone from the Guardian could do a much better job.

Yes. If you are a professional developer who gets paid to work on large Rust projects all day long, then a US$2500 high-end laptop will pay for itself many times over. (I'm assuming US or European salaries here.)

I've gotten by with much less for personal projects. But Rust will make very efficient use of (say) an 8-core i9 if you have one.
Houses electrical wiring is in use for decades, so it’s likely we aren’t throwing away nearly that much copper.
I know how much re costs in the amount of time spent. I've RE'd all kinds of things, and re-implemented in a better way, from weird payment terminals, camera sensors, to really weird eInk/SoC combos where a big manufacturer is bitbanging eInk protocol over data lines of LCD interface from memory patterns, USB bootloader protocols, software protection schemes... Pre-RE research is valuable, but that's just a start.

Anyway, at $200/h you can spend 500h making something work. ;)
Tesla selling right isn’t trickery or cheating. It’s intended - it’s a way to shovel money low-carbon companies so they can develop. Tesla would be long-since bankrupt with that income stream.

"theory" and "law" are synonyms in science. the difference is that a law is a simple one line general statement (F=gMm/r^2) and a theory is fleshed out model with details.

I agree with your comment 100% - if we go on holiday/ vacation they have to help in understanding the trade off of what options we chosse based on the costs and the organisation eg transportation etc..

A law in science isn't used the same as how you are using the word. A law isn't a really good theory. Laws are mathematical predictions based on data collected.

Often it's just an equation that fits some data for a range of values.

Almost all laws are found in the physical sciences. Some examples are: Ohm's Law, Universal Gravitation, Coulomb's law, and Kirchhoff's laws. None of these are perfect descriptions of reality.
I really don't think it was a good idea to write this in C++ for security reasons. It accepts external inputs in some complex formats, and they also have a web server version. This makes it highly vulnerable to all kind of attacks, such as buffer overflows.

You literally just said you considered them very different problems? But now you say you think they should both be handled per the OP with a single flag, and you're opposed to both of them on the same grounds -- doesn't sound like you do consider them very different problems?

Two hours is not beyond ridiculous. A lot of projects in the past compiled for way longer than that, days even.

I don't understand the opposition of carbon capture. Carbon in the environment seems like a technical problem with a technical solution. What's the alternative? Try to convince every nation in the world to make their citizens poorer by forcing them to adopt more expensive energy sources and eventually forcibly limit population growth? Even the most lofty treaties and proposals admit to not being enough, so why do we persist with chasing ever more draconian controls over what people can do?
> I must admit I am not all that informed on the details of French wars in different African countries. So I can not speak on those details.

I think this is somewhat in tension with the tenor of your claims above, e.g.—

> Well if you try far less you can lose less. But of course also if you have far less, even those much smaller loses are just as big a deal as the much larger loses for the US.

Of course Gaddafi is a reasonable example in the other direction, but I’d point out that Françafrique is still entirely under Francophile dictatorial rule—even the CNSP is content to permit French forces to remain; it was Macron who threatened to pull out. Contrast this to Iraq (lost to a great extent to Iran). I suppose there is increasing CAR-Russia coöperation, but given Françafrique’s scale, the CAR is much less important than Iraq.
The issue is they are a massive global project that requires the same sorts of measurement ambiguity that lets people argue over anthropogenic climate change in the first place. I’m not going to argue the physics, because you’re right about it being a good strategy for all the reasons you mentioned… but unfortunately this is a worse is better scenario.

Direct methods that produce measurable byproducts that can be used to directly quantify how much CO2 has been removed, are macroeconomically speaking, going to be easier to find backers for both financially and politically. Without those backers nothing will happen with any large scale climate change mitigation efforts.

I felt exactly like you do for years before I finally learned Magit - as a competent CLI user, most of the Git GUIs I'd poked at were frustratingly limited and seemed worse than pointless for someone who had gotten a handle on the Git CLI.

Once I took a little while to learn Magit, it significantly reduced the number of keystrokes I needed for normal git operations.

It also made rebasing less of a chore in several ways.

It's still a bit of a tossup whether I'll use the terminal UI or Magit for a given operation, depending if I'm already in the terminal, but unlike most GUIs, I've found Magit actually reduced my friction for day-to-day work relative to the Git CLI.
