What was invented?

Also, on a side note this sort of "environmental solution" reminds me of the 1970's beached whale disposal in Oregon.

You can have any number of sub pieces. It won't improve the margin (it will make it worse if anything). So again: how will this help?
Why Aren't We Rude to Grown-Ups the Way We Are Rude to Kids? (2013)
It's my understanding that warp drives can't travel faster than light (superluminal) into new destinations. You must first create the soliton in subliminal speed, then you can move faster than light.

In other words, if you wan to travel 100 light years, you must first spend more than 100 years warping the spacetime towards the destination, then you can move FTL.
It never ceases to amaze me how smart some people are.
My wife and I are moving because her university is back in person in a month, and everything is so much more expensive now.

If you didn't throw every penny you had into stocks into the last year, you're basically losing money with how prices have risen for everything
Interference to Air Traffic Control caused by incandescent light bulbs (2020)
There's a list called 2MB Club. Was a popular thread here. Pls find that and give it a look

The same bug that affected ripgrep, wonder what other software is affected by this.
No, it's not possible (rather it's possible but not desirable), nor is it natural. The natural thing for ruminants (and humans for that matter) to do, is wander freely from place to place with no limits or boundaries, allowing vegetation to get eaten down (or be left alone) by succeeding populations of all sorts of animals, insects, microbes, etc. Then maybe them coming back through the same spot 8-36 months later, etc.etc.etc. Unfortunately, humans have chosen to abandon this nomadic lifestyle. I think ultimately this is the root cause of our climate crisis, but obviously not one that we will ever be inclined to address.

Many of my dairy animals live through their long natural lifespans; it hurts to see my 14 year old best friend (usually the matriarch of the herd) get torn apart by a pack of coyotes though, or suffer other disease or mechanical injury as a result of old age and bad luck. However, on a large plot of land (say 60-100 acres+) that is not managed, they will surely run out of nutritionally dense foods to eat, as they will freely pick and choose certain stands of certain forbs or grasses, and let others lie dormant (these ultimately going to forest). The result is the highly nutritious choice foods get eaten to death, forest slowly sprouts everywhere else, and animal health suffers as a result. Now, if you had a large mixed herd, it becomes a possibility (think cows, goats, sheep, pigs, chickens, other fowl all living together). Now, if you can take that same large plot of land, and that same mixed herd of various animals and preferably plants, insects, and fungus, and rotationaly graze in much smaller paddocks, you can make magic happen, assuming your soil was dense enough in minerals to keep the animals happy and healthy on pasture alone (unlikely in many parts of the world without mineralizing the soil first).
Looks more like a proof of concept that you can get enough methane to run a moped from your local ponds.
Not sure if that applies to a password used to secure crypto, since you can argue that the gov can see what's behind the password (ie: the crypto amount), and the purpose of the law is to reveal data hidden by the password, not to take control over it.
Where you say "just leave your house in the morning..." really drives home the significance of what Lachlan's Alt Tour particularly means for French people. Wanna ride the whole darn route just like your favorite pros? Get your bike up to snuff, just leave your house, grab some snacks... you can refill and do laundry on the way!

More broadly, without all the resources, cars, gas, etc of a full "race" or event, you can still have meaningful experiences. That lesson seems like a great takeaway from the whole thing.
Never is it claimed to be a GOOD invention, :p
I was just pointing out how irrational it is that people are upset with her and John for making experimental music, because, you know, that's what they wanted to do as artists. I didn't mention anything about sexism, but it is telling that the dominant narrative is that John Lennon is some kind of simp. Yoko didn't so much ruin The Beatles, as much as John had an affinity for her take on things and already had his own creative differences with the rest of the band.

Estonian Internal Security Review 2020/2021 [pdf]
I have a blog post in the $SOMEDAY pile where I warn about technologies that keep using the same example over and over again. If something is broadly applicable, people should be able to come up with independent examples of how it's useful. If the same example keeps coming up over and over, one should become suspicious that it only works on that example.

I observe that this style of programming only ever seems to be used for geometric programming of very visual things, or sometimes audio processing pipelines. I'm becoming suspicious that it may not be good for much of anything else. I'd be interested in seeing a mockup of how to use this technique for a JSON parser or a web handler or something and obtain any utility vs. what we already do.

I don't deny that it may be useful in a certain domain or potentially useful as an early teaching tool, but I remain highly skeptical that the promises/claims/demands that it be used for general-purpose programming is possible or a good idea, and the more I see the same examples over and over the deeper my skepticism becomes, no matter how slick the presentation.
China tightens control over cybersecurity in data crackdown
As an industrial software developer, my golden rule when dealing with support requests is: I will not do anything until they tried whatever they can try. If they just want to offload the issue to me, it will be a dead end.
> What exactly is the breakthrough that has led to this recent spurt of warp drive papers? As far as I can tell the results are all purely theoretical and just re-arranging equations. None of them appear to rely on any recently lab discovered physics. Why couldn't this have been done in 1950, I wonder?

By "recent", you have to go back almost 30 years to the Aclubierre Drive (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcubierre_drive) described in 1994. It forms part of the "we can come up with some interesting solutions to general relativity" literature.

That literature is not just a recent phenomenon. Research into theoretical wormholes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wormhole#Development) goes back decades further.
Python News: What's New from June 2021?
Mathematica is at least ~$1.5k/year, ~$3k if you want only the desktop application, no WolframAlpha-like features. Licenses on the desktop are not per user, but per machine (8 core limitation). If you want to move the installation to another machine, you have to send them a signed document and contact Wolfram (the company, not the person). I could go on all day about the friction and restrictions.

They have an excellent and unique product and I would love to pour them money (between me and my employer we pay about EUR 1000 /year to Intellij, and this is only one provider). But for some reason I do not feel comfortable between the immense power imbalance between them and myself. It makes me uneasy to invest in the ecosystem.

I wonder how many clients they have their CAP users in the academic world.
Personally, I think that MMA has demonstrated the importance of sparring and grappling. However, I think that the value of MMA itself is less clear.

MMA has been hurt a lot by the dominance of UFC. A lot of the details of UFC's rules distort its similarity to actual combat. For example: wearing gloves, fighting on highly padded floors, lenient rules on fighters circling each other, forbidding kicks and knees on the ground, fighting shirtless, etc.

MMA also overlooks a lot of aspects of combat:

- Situational awareness and deescalation

- Responses that are appropriate for less forceful situation (e.g. control techniques)

- Use of weapons

- Defense against weapons

- Strategies against multiple attackers

Finally, I think that there is some survivor bias. Even if MMA is the ideal martial art for young fit males with an aptitude for athletics, that doesn't necessarily mean that it is ideal for people who are less physically or athletically gifted.
He rode it with a di2? Why would you do that - batteries based is the worst for a long ride.
A university teacher allowed us to use everything during the exam, including a laptop with an internet connection. The only rule was that you weren't allowed to use any communication with other people, like messaging someone or asking questions on forums. Needless to say, everyone passed that exam.

For myself, the most-hated part of every exam session was having to memorize everything. That's what made me fail every single exam I've ever failed. I just can't bring myself to stuff information into my head and then give it back later. It's not a storage device. Yet most other teachers insisted that I need to do everything from memory. 95% of my school and university "education" was to memorize something, then recite it, and then forget it forever.
Normal day to day operation of a business should have enough slack to allow people to spend time on experiments and initiatives, or simply to do a particularly good job, rather than merely struggle with the strictly necessary part of their workload. Abnormal operation in which deadlines can be met by cutting corners and/or everything goes well and/or enough people are overworked appears to be more common. For example, think of the company culture in which multi-month projects can be planned without accounting for vacation time.
From a business standpoint I fully understand their decisions. However from a customer standpoint it's hard to trust apple when you know the only privacy they may enable is that that your country allows them.

There seems no resistance from Apple, why would anyone believe their country would not be next? Probably even opening up data that was private in the past without notice?
Currently I've been "out" for almost a month cause of a few runs I did on a beach (usually I run in the forest). Obviously sand works your muscles in different ways but I didn't expect it to hit me this hard. Super frustrating.
Some European countries "solved" this by having the child leave as a shared pool which the parents can split between themselves as they wish but it still doesn't solve the fact that women have a greater hit on their careers and income due to the baby-making capabilities of their bodies.
> Spam.

This excuse doesn't really stick as reddit moderates content both by their user base but also by subreddit mods and reddit admins.

I'd say that this is all to do with the goal of turning reddit into a walled garden.
I googled quickly and the summary says "A single cow on average produces between 70 and 120 kg of methane per year", so that would actually probably be feasible. Getting it would the challenge though.

That said, if I were to over-engineer this, they could make barns with a closed air system that filters out any methane produced.
Not exactly equal. If two employees work different shifts, most of those issues could be solved by not having separate resources for each employee.
Good foundation for your own CMDB (if you do ITIL and Change Management) internally.

This will make software companies have to publish their detailed internals in a way that is readable and auditable, unlike looking in the "Legal" fine print for their 3-point flyspeck font list of what opensource libraries they've used.
Maybe not academics but publishers absolutely do in many academic fields. It's the reason Sci-Hub exists at all.

Besides, whether you make a profit is hardly relevant to this topic. You could make no profit at all and still be accused of copyright infringement.
Show HN: AutoDev Analytics Dev Measurement and Benchmark
For years I've been wishing for a kind of screenshot that included more than just pixel values. Like if it made a little pdf of the region you chose that rendered without fuss or external resources. There's no technical reason we couldn't have the convenience of screenshots, but also copyable text, clickable links etc.
One quick thought that just occurred to me is that we are pinning this "transitory" narrative on the idea that the situation will probably improve in the particular industries with currently exploding increases in inflation. E.g. used cars. But perhaps there will be a series of surprises where once the problem is solved in one industry, a new problem pops up in another industry. I.e. perhaps we get a series of rolling inflation explosions in different industries. E.g. I'm hearing a lot of macro investors going long on oil because they believe there is likely to be simultaneous increasing demand (China) and decreasing supply (ESG investors forcing oil companies to wind down). It seems like that could start to pick up steam once the used car situation is resolved.
> I'm genuinely wondering what people on the other side of this debate think about this. If you like having systems like this in your organization, what is it that you like about it?

I like it. There are limitations and the frameworks can be misaligned with the ideal goals, but in general it provides the following benefits.

1. You aren't completely at the whim of your manager. Managers need to actually document what you did and why that aligns with whatever level on these frameworks. Other managers can provide oversight on this. The alternative is that career success is 100% opaque and based on the feelings of one person.

2. It helps me as a manager do performance evaluations. I'm glad to have a framework than to just go based on my feelings, because my feelings are often wrong.

3. It can help shift priorities for an organization that is working on the wrong stuff. This is hard and requires careful language and training, but in an ideal world these sorts of frameworks allow people to align their personal career goals with the goals of the company.

If you can make the company do better without pleasing the framework, then the framework may be wrong or perhaps your priorities are wrong. I've seen the latter plenty of times. Somebody insists that their work is just obviously impactful and therefore they don't need to measure anything but they are forced to measure it due to framework requirements and, surprise surprise, what they did wasn't that important after all.
Yes, there are a lot of ads w/o adblockers. You can disable them by buying premium, but you'll have a hard time blocking them in the app. Also, adblock adaption is actually not that high compared to what tech circles suggest, more in the 5-20% range [0].

Lastly, Reddit is basically the origin of organic marketing. You can't block these ads ...

The problem that Reddit's native vid/img upload solved was how every Reddit thread older than a year was a 404 link to imgur, a Youtube video since made private, etc.

It's essential to avoid link rot. Not long ago, old Reddit content was almost always dead.

As usual, it's just trade-offs.
To be frank, I think this line of reasoning is something Linux Desktop evangelists tell themselves so they can feel better about their abject failure to gain any significant desktop market share.

For starters, the separation of the world into "power users" and "normal users" is, to me, a sign of flawed thinking. The goal of a personal computing system should be to allow a complete novice to onramp into a "power user" as their understanding of the system grows. Discoverability and consistency are absolutely key to this and Linux DEs have always been terrible at both (and other Desktops are getting worse too). There are many more problems I could go on about, like walled gardens like Apple's App store or Linux's package repos creating another boundary between users and creators that need not exist, for example.

Point being, separating the audience into "people who get shit, like me" and "people who just want X" is an excuse for having a bad system. Instead of admitting and attempting to address the issue, you instead get to say "well, normal users don't need that and power users should be able to deal with the bullshit".
Taking Amazon SES to production can be a little tricky, I think I am talking to robots with templated messages. Maybe I don't have luck or didn't explain myself well enough.
There’s No Going Home with Climate Change
normal cycling shoes have a cleat you lock into the pedal with that allow very little movement. sometimes just a few mm of position change is all it takes to relieve a nagging ache and im guessing he found it easier to get comfortable with a shoe he can move around on the pedal.

I've stopped mid ride to adjust my cleats just a smidge when i was feeling discomfort. you don't want to mess around with knee pain especially when riding 12 hours a day
Nick here, CEO/Founder of AutoDevTech. The team and I are proud to release AutoDev Analytics: reports and benchmarks measuring dev processes based on thousands of big, popular projects on GitHub. We want to share what we’ve learned about the dev process and code review, get feedback, and open up free analytics that compare your team against thousands of other code bases.

We’ve got stats showing most code doesn’t get any feedback in code review[1], unreviewed code is twice as likely to churn out over a year than reviewed code[2], and teams spend about 3 hours per week reviewing code[3]. And we’ve got benchmarks for dozens of other metrics like code review turnaround and monthly codebase churn.

Take a look, sign up for analytics and let us know what you think.

It's remarkable how different perspective you get from walking than popping up in a new place after taking the tube. But even buses and cars screws with your perspective of how places are linked together relative to actually walking between them.
There was a funny case some time back, local cops where a relative lives were estimating utterly nutty "street values" for busting college students with pot plants. A journalist starts asking questions, and finally figured out they were calculating value by weighing the live plants - dirt, pot and all.
Forging a vaccination card is a Federal crime with up to 5 years of prison. Of course there may only be one or two high profile cases to come from such an abuse, but maybe it would dissuade at least a few people.

> The only time I remember needing a calculator in my entire education

I’m not asking about calculus classes. You specifically said “my entire education”

So you never needed to convert log(17) to decimal in your entire education? Or you just converted it by hand like the Neanderthals did?

According to Wikipedia, this variant was first detected in India, in late 2020.

If it's that much more infectious than other variants, where was it til now?
Tenderhooks is definitely an eggcorn (a mistake which conveys an appropriate image). In fact it is documented here: https://eggcorns.lascribe.net/english/315/tenderhooks/
Disclaimer, I worked at Netflix for 5 years. There are some interesting challenges in the clients. The TV client needs to run on devices with very little memory, and processors roughly as powerful as a Pentium 2. The JavaScript must be interpreted too, no JITing allowed. Getting smooth experiences everywhere in the world where internet quality and device power varies drastically, all in one code base that about 100 people work on, is a pretty good challenge. For example an entire proprietary "browser" was created with the goal of being low memory and high performance. So for TV devices, the entire dev stack from top to bottom had to be created mostly from scratch. This included forking React to create a version that would run on this platform.

It's also interesting on the other end, what cool stuff can be done on the PS5 for example? Shaders and animation techniques are also pretty interesting to explore.
They're doing it because the Executive Order requires it if you want to sell software to the US Federal Government.

By default, what the USG demands becomes a more general thing, as other governments and levels of government adopt the same standards.

Then vendors will produce it and it will become a condition of commerical contracts.

The vendor is already liable (or should be) for knowing what's in the product they've supplied. This is just a way of documenting it in a standard way.
That's a good point, I didn't think about the contributions.
Add AWS to title, please.
TypeScript has a bunch of holes in it because it needs tight compatibility with JavaScript. While a pure functional style may be possible, it isn’t first-class or ergonomic or as expressive, and won't cut it for many. Are there first-class function composition infix operators? Is pattern matching algebraic data types often the easiest way to write code? Is IO managed? With a language like Elm and others in the ML family, functional style is the only game in town, not just the in-house convention, and it's easier to have people using a similar style if it’s ergonomic. Even if you’re willing to give up managed IO OCaml and Reason are going to suit this programmer better than TypeScript. I would not be surprised if a lot of the fp-ts crowd is merely tolerating this as a comprise.
True, so he injects the motor oil with the gas so the cylinder doesn't jam?

But has he prooved there is only lubrication oil in there, oil also burns, maybe the methane bubble is just for show and he has actually converted the engine to some sort of diesel/ethanol/any other oil engine! ;D

I want to se the engine stop when the ballon is empty! :\

Also now I watched the video: he spends more energy collecting the gas than it would have taken him to use a regular bike. But fun idea.
You are right that ‘why’ is rarely asked directly - it seems like a blunt interrogation.

But, it’s quite common for people to ask questions like ‘how did they get into that?’.

Also, why does it have to be a ‘stranger’ asking the question? Again I agree that would be odd, but it doesn’t seem odd for a friend to be curious.

Most jobs aren’t in downtown Seattle though. So you are stuck with a job somewhere away from a main transit route, you live away from a main transit route, taking public transit really isn’t a luxury in time that you can afford.

If you don’t want to drive, there are lots of things you can do in arranging where you live and having flexibility in where and when you work (eg buying a house in Ballard rather than Lynwood, working for a high tech company with a convenient office location - because it’s part of their effort to attract workers, etc…). Those options become more accessible the more money you make.
