Yeah I watched a cspan question and answer session and one dinosaur-aged Republican representative from West Palm Beach Florida sounded so backwards. He was saying that we shouldn’t transition to green energy because of all the coal miner jobs that will be displaced by green energy jobs. It seemed like he was just being difficult or corrupt because Florida doesn’t even have any coal mines or coal mining jobs! Also, it’s not like people can’t go get new income sources or start new businesses.. I think the issue is that many of these retirement-age folks don’t care because they aren’t expecting repercussions or negative externalities in their remaining short lifespan.

The situation around global warming would be a lot different if the environmentalist Al Gore hadn’t lost to conservative George Bush. The election hinged on a narrow Florida Supreme Court decision of 5-4 over the votes and controversial butterfly ballots. Based on that decision, Bush won the USA presidential election by only 537 votes. The 3rd party spoiler effect from the Green Party was also to blame since Florida isn’t yet advanced enough to have ranked-choice voting.

It really depends on the level of technical skill you have and/or wish to develop. I have similar objectives to yours. I especially prefer to build my own instead of buying complicated and often overly expensive consumer oriented products.

WS2812 LED strips are the bomb! Easy to stick onto a variety of surfaces and easy to drive with an Arduino. BUT watch the power consumption. I use heavy duty 5V power supplies to drive long chains.

Most commercial products have been hacked. For example, WiFi controlled power points/strips. Don't fiddle with mains power unless you really know what you are doing. It actually is not legal in some locales.

HomeAssistant is neat if you don't want to do it all yourself. I prefer to DIY all the way.

Configure a totally separate WiFi network, totally air-gapped from the internet to control all the devices.

ESP8266 & ESP32 based boards with microPython are super easy to configure. Just remember it's all 3.3V I/O, so use suitable level-shifters or opto-isolation for physical world connections.

There are lots of folks like yourself. I find focused internet searches yield answers to most questions and problems. Most consumer products have been reverse-engineered.
> Try to have the government actually achieve things directly and you get the Space Shuttle.

I don't think that's entirely fair. The Orbiter ( developed by Rockwell, not NASA or .gov ) was the result of two decades of hypersonic aerodynamics research combined with the state of materials art at the time. The solid boosters were ahead of the technology curve. The overall package was compromised by USAF / .mil requirements but otherwise was an advanced product for its time.
> > I learned here on HN that contracts are supposed to be a "meeting of minds".

> HN is not law school and you would be well-advised not to treat it as one. There's a ton of false information about the law flying around here and not nearly enough educated people or time to correct it all.

Since I learned the exact same thing about contracts being supposed to be a “meeting of the minds” in the first week of Contracts in law school (and much of the rest of Contracts was rules that have been developed operationalizing that principle), while I would agree with your “HN is not law school...” rant as a general rule, I don’t think its germane to the quoted statement.
it's fundamentally confounding to me that more people don't seem to come to this conclusion. I would love to hear a reasonable argument from someone in this cohort, because I'm willing to accept that my intuition is flawed, and I just can't see how.
Japan Shattered Internet Speed Record at 319 Terabits per Second
I don’t know man, the human race makes great technological leaps, or rather leaps in understanding that allow new technology. And nobody can really predict that. It’s almost like your Einsteins, Newtons, Boltzmanns, Maxwells Paulis and Plancks had some kind 2-way channel with divinity. Even though we all stand on the shoulders of giants, sometimes a new giant appears out of the ether. And there’s no doubt we’re done. I saw a 60minutes where an air force pilot dead ass states that they saw a tic-tac lookin ufo churn water in the Pacific Ocean before basically teleporting away, only to be relocated 60 miles later. There’s more for us to know,

Since the revelations have come out, I've been baffled and bewildered that Bill Gates, a guy with more connections and money than pretty much anyone who has ever existed and surely, surely must know what opposition research is....spent years hanging out with Epstein after his first conviction for treating high-schoolers as prostitutes.

I don't get it. Gates has never come across as completely depraved (greedy, maybe) so I don't think he was using Epstein's services, but I can tell you in working class US, if you find out that anyone did what Epstein did, you never talk to them again because they are a predator, much less befriend them.

What was Gates doing and why is there a collective sigh about it? Tech does not care. Microsoft does not care.

https://www.thecut.com/2021/05/what-we-know-about-bill-gates...

Gates is either careless, foolish, a creep, or all three. But this kind of bullshit is the stuff that made him the absolute worst person to head up things like virus response and we need to get these predators out of industries.

I like this idea. But does it still just funnel people into the "1hr Leetcode interview + day long whiteboard session" style hiring process?

This is the problem I have with things like Triplebyte et. al. You make me jump through all of these hoops that are supposed to "prequalify" me for a position, and yet I'm then just dumped into the exact same process as if I'd submitted my resume to a job posting.

Pretty sure the actual reason was console margins and non-gaming buyers. At the time [1], it was believed that Sony lost hundreds of dollars per console. The business case for the losses was that the cost could be recouped with games. But people and organizations buying the PS3 for its computing capabilities, running OtherOS, were not buying enough games to recoup the losses.

I've never used Clojurescript, but I have played around with Fable (F# to JS transpiler), and from memory I had a bit of a headache with transpiling non-framework dependencies and getting it to talk to Javascript libraries (e.g. Plotly). It wouldn't surprise me if Clojurescript was the same.

It's by no means impossible, but at the end of it you do wonder if the benefits of the language outweigh the hassle of getting things up and running.
> While one can write confusing code using FP, it's not as easy to do.

Yes, it is.

It is in some situations easier to write non-confusing code in FP (though in other situations its easier in OO.)

Also, OO hasn’t really “fallen out of fashion”, its still, AFAIK, the dominant paradigm. It’s just not as hyperdominant as it was from the mid-90s through the -00s.

Bezos's space-flight winner won’t go due to ‘scheduling conflicts’
I’m always shocked at how non-relevant the ads I see are. How many Ph.D’s at Google have dedicated their careers to targeting me more correctly, and yet: constant ads for stretchy water-wicking pants (I don’t go camping), solid brass pencil shavers (can’t remember the last time I used a pencil), and dating sites for seniors (I’m married and in my 30’s). Are these people just bad at their jobs?

Don’t get me wrong, I prefer it this way. But you’d think they’d be better at it by now.
It's a good reminder that 'conversations' on Slack/Teams etc are NOT conversations, they are posts on a company message board.

If you want an OTR conversation then do it in person (though they might record it on their phone or take a contemporaneous memo, a la Trump Whitehouse), or in Signals with expiring messages (though even then you might need to assume the other party is screen capping the messages).

So best of all is to assume your messages/chats will be leaked selectively. Avoid gossip and innuendo!
It's a huge code smell. It's funny because just today I was listening to a podcast about testing and they talk about exactly these sorts of contrivances as being a good sign you should not be mocking something in a test.

How much of that comes from fossil fuels.

> Gates has never come across as completely depraved (greedy, maybe) so I don't think he was using Epstein's services,

Maybe Gates just has the wealth and skill to craft a PR image that covers up his depravity, so that you dismiss the conclusion of his affiliation with Epstein even after being confused as to what other explanation it might have.
What makes you think that everyone who wrote the Constitution and relevant documents 250 years ago was infallible?

The founding fathers got plenty of things wrong, knowing they were designing an imperfect system.

I'm not here to dish out undue praise, but Proton really is incredible. Unless a game has intrusive anti-cheat or DRM, you can expect most Windows titles to "just work" these on Linux these days. Valve has put a tremendous amount of work into this project, it's almost hard to describe.
This entire article is an oxymoron. A "marker of class" is something that signals to other people which social class you belong to. The whole point of privacy is to not signal anything to anyone.

Real-Time Super-Resolution System of 4K-Video Based on Deep Learning
Here’s how NVC is usually taught: use this special language and make sure to communicate needs and feelings and guess the other person’s.

The thing is, without the internal alignment and commitment, it is just a set of complicated language structures and mostly annoys people.

A tool I use and recommend in relationships is having a “session” with your partner. This means they get to vent and you listen - but when they vent about you they speak in third person. So your partner would be speaking to you saying “emptysongglass is a f-ing selfish jerk! Promised to empty the dishwasher and didn’t, for the third time! And when I reminded her about it, asked me who appointed me dishwasher police! I can’t trust a person who doesn’t take responsibility!!”

The point is to have a space to vent out the emotion and be heard and seen, in connection. And, speaking about a third person lightens things and prevents defenses from going up for the listener.

Also, timing the sessions helps. 10 min is usually enough.

NVC is mostly about internal alignment and commitment to connection and empathy (empathy=the recipient of empathy feels felt)

Honestly giving up control over the other person (making requests vs demands) and honestly listening for your own and the other’s state of being (what’s alive in them) and slowing down to drop into the body is where it’s at.

It’s not an intellectual exercise.

You said it beautifully - plain speaking from the heart, while feeling the heart.
I think you're overestimating how much Valve wanted to customize this. I'm pretty sure that a large part of the appeal here is that it's "just regular ol' Linux".
Yes, see memory techniques like the method of loci, peg lists, mnemonic lists, etc. The book Moonwalking with Einstein covers this well.
Not just might sound bad. It sounds like utter garbage in support of a theory rather than evidence. Bad mathematical reasoning here really does negate the the claim as anything more than "I wonder if ..." Could be true. Let's find out. Turning it around the probability that you have one and only one seizure could be exactly the same as the probability that you have a first seizure and it is NOT epilepsy. Those could well be different ways of saying precisely the same thing.

Show HN: I've been working on an app to help immigrants
Hi all, I'm a Brazilian which has moved to Ireland in 2015 to study English. Back then I knew little about the country, only things I saw on the TV\Youtube\Wikipedia, and I didn't know the IT market was booming here and, surprise, that's my expertise. When I've discovered that, I've joined a community called IT in Dublin, which is an "open source" Brazilian group dedicated to helping each other to understand visas, regulations, how to improve your CVs, etc. This group helped me a lot and, after 8 months, I got a job and then I could give back to the group, helping others to follow the same path.

From 2015 till now a lot of information was improved, but we still receive a lot of requests/questions from the group about the information we already have explained and provided links for anyone to have access to any information we gathered. Still, many newcomers complain that information was misleading or not useful anymore, which makes me start to think of a way to help more.

In 2019, I was studying and developing Machine Learning, and in one of my studies I could create a model which could give back to a potential immigrant their chances to move to another country, from that moment I thought this could be useful as a piece of information, so I decided to gather everything I knew about immigration in Ireland and Europe and create an App

Introducing ClusterStack

The goal of ClusterStack is to be a one-stop shop for immigrants, to help anyone who wants to move to a country, to do it safely . And, after a lot of research and studies , I've identified and simplified the steps needed for wannabe immigrants to fully reposition themselves elsewhere. To do so, they need to have access to :

- Information about the country visa process, cost of living, avg. salary of their specialisation, and their chances to move to a country .

- Ability to apply for job positions of companies that accept international candidates .

- A tool that automatically handles the candidate visa application .

- A social networking helps the migrant to be embedded in their new community .

As I was developing this App, I saw I needed to do this project in parts, first focusing on certain types of foreigners, information, and jobs.So for now, as ICT workers are more likely to get visa approvals, I’ve finished the first part of the app for those in that area, so if you’re a tech employee, you can go onto the App and you can check all sorts of information... and jobs to apply, FOR FREE.

For recruiters who might see this post, I’m open for partner with you, more jobs that provide help for those who seek to move abroad the better.

You can download it here: https://lnkd.in/dfYJhPB

So, if you find it could be interesting, give it a try.

Just a quick reminder: As a solo programmer of this App, there's a lot of bugs and problems, mainly on Android, if you spot something, please let me know.
