I agree that the outcomes are not desirable. Many people over history have recognized this, and that is why we have religions that recognize our inherent flawed or "sinful" nature in this regard and give us a framework of rules for how to live. Look at the "Seven Deadly Sins" just as one example, it's pretty much what the social media algorithms select for when they promote content.
I don't think you're making the point you think you're making. Using a Starbucks coffee to represent CO2 from gas ranges, your total monthly expenditures are $100M, $80M+ of which is going to a few big categories like cars.

The reason you're going bankrupt is because you've convinced yourself the $5 coffee is the solution.

It's not just cooking, it's residential and business natural gas use period, as stated in TFA ("phasing out natural-gas hookups to homes and businesses to reduce carbon emissions.")

It sucks, but it is something that has to be done if we are going to avoid catastrophe, unless someone invents really effective carbon capture.

My personal habits are irrelevant, but I'm in a deregulated energy state and pay extra for 100% renewable/carbon-offset power, and I don't have a natural gas hookup.
For good reason we don’t accept people yelling “fire” in a movie theater. Anti-vax misinformation during a pandemic is definitely in the same vein as yelling fire in a theater.

There are a few solutions. Don’t know that any of these are possible, but sometimes solutions only get found in a listing of possible solutions.

Any sourcing of the internet as a source of truth could be called into question on face.

Or massive platforms could find a way to be less massive. Ie “we’re just not going to host governmental agencies or politicians.” Also bracketing the scope of posts and information on social media.

Or who knows.

Edit-one observation I’ve had is the internet is best when tied with another source of truth. Ie you can generally try recipes from a website and tell whether it makes palatable food by just making and tasting it.
I assume that a lot of people have played around with this concept, it's one of those things that are not too complicated to implement.

But I guess I am the only one who used the Zelda, a link to the past overworld as the training input ;-)

Examples: https://imgur.com/a/R1OleXp

My problem with that was that the algorithm basically always ran into unsolvable states. The WFC solution to that is to just start again, but most WFC implementations use only few (<10) tiles. The Zelda map had several hundred, you can actually see the algorithm searching for valid solutions in the videos I linked.
So, one of the conclusions should be “don’t buy used M1 Mac”.
Do I understand this correctly?
"It has severe drawbacks if you use e2e. The default is without because that's what most people want."

I would suspect majority of users would disagree with the question "are you ok with Telegram keeping a plaintext copy of your messages"

The most technical answer you can expect is "All Telegram chats use MTProto encryption. Their End-to-end encryption protocol is called MTProto. Ergo, they can't see my messages".

Ask any user if they want privacy or no privacy. 0% will tell you, oh I explicitly want no privacy.

Apologies for that. The point is I guess that there is production in South Korea, Taiwan, Japan and India.
That was when the military was trying to take over an already established government. No reason why, now that they are in charge, things might be different.

In nations considered authoritarian, “private” should be taken with a grain of salt. In China, all businesses with over 50 employees must have a dedicated CCP representative.

Finally, it doesn’t matter if they can’t make phones. They’ll call a Chinese company in Shenzhen and they’ll rush in a pile of branded phones in weeks.

> That's it. One more command than Zig or Go, to install the toolchain you need, and then you're off to the races.

Except it's not the same. Zig also cross-compiles C code beautifully, and lots of Rust code depends on C libraries. That "one additional command" does not solve cross compilation to an equivalent degree as Zig.

Go code tends to avoid C because of the heavy penalty that CGo imposes, so the cross compiliation experience is usually good there, but for different reasons than Zig.
often food chains are actually more of food webs. Most species, especially humans, are adaptable as their environment changes. Look at polar bears. They started out as normal brown bears. Then during the ice age they developed polar attributes, like white fur and maratime diet. If the climate in the arctic warms they will move inland again and likely merge with existing brown bear populations in the taiga. Those that don't adapt will die. That is how evolution works and always has worked.

In the past the environment has changed very rapidly at time. All life eventually dies. That which endures longer is that which adapts.

A warmer more carbon rich atmosphere has some benefits:

Expanded arable regions,
fewer droughts, more rainfall, more carbon for plants to grown (try turning all your carbon in the atmosphere into
rock and let me know how life fares then.)

Carbon based life needs CO2. They have done experiments where a forest is subjected to increased CO2 ppm by plumbing and nozzels. It grew faster and more robustly. Life also needs warmth. During the Eocene epoch some 50 milion years ago the Arctic was sub-tropical and teaming with life.
It doesn't matter how one person perceives "red". What matter is they can consistently agree with other about what things are red what not.

It is a bit like a web-page with many dom-elements on it, each having its own id. The id is like our perceptions. The id is arbitrary but what matters is that the same id always refers to the same dom-element.

I mean I don't even know what I perceive when I perceive red. I just perceive and use the id "red" for it. The thing is that in our brain there is some kind of an id associated with our experience of redness. When we experience it we say hey I recognize this experience as something familiar, so I will use the same id 'red' to describe it as I have before.

It seems like the only support specific variants which seems a tad ridiculous. My Canadian Samsung A51 doesn't seem like it would be supported because it's an A515W and not an A515U. What's the difference? I think for those two variants just the firmware.

Ah, no. This is an extremely niche situation when dual-booting multiple versions of MacOS that could possibly just be a bug.
It is this attitude which appears to be based on an idealistic assumption that people care about exchanging error for truth.

This is what I am arguing is not really the case, as demonstrated amply by the world around us.

DuckDB is a newer but much faster alternative that lets you run SQL on csv files (and also directories of parquet files etc.)

This seems bad
To add one more comment... you should study the distribution of votes in that thread. Take a poll of the developers using Zig. Anywhere you look, I'm sure you will see that most people want error handling to include context by default.

84 upvotes for the initial issue is substantial in a community the size of Zig.
Perhaps there are reasons beyond my understanding why this is a wrong idea but if I were the head of the government I would rather officially sell the machines to a legitimate tax-paying mining operation or (if we are low on electricity and don't want any mining in the country) sell them on eBay to whatever a foreign party interested to get the funds for the budget. If the hardware would appear at an illegal mining facility in the country again I would just confiscate and sell them again making even more funds for the budget.

> I can see that factually incorrect, scientifically illiterate, conspiratorial, harmful crank ideas gain legs in the online world we've created.

The fact that you phrase your characterization of incorrect ideas like this suggests with pretty high certainty that you don’t exactly have a great birds’-eye view of the epistemic landscape yourself. People who characterize the “opposition” this way mostly get their ideas from NPR-tier Pravda publications, and aren’t exactly better suited for picking out “better models of truth and reality”.

You're misremembering history. It eventually evolved into that, yes.

Apple didn't really buy into that until the "I'm a Mac/I'm a PC" ads.
so the selling point is that it doesn't look like old clients (whyever that's a problem), and then there's not even a description of what it tries to do instead, nor a screenshot?
I'm afraid that people are also turned off by facts that go against their preconceived notions, and people are predisposed to accept, with little question, authorities with whom they already identify.

In fact I'd go as far as saying your argument there is a logical fallacy, as I'm making no claim people should accept appeals to authority.
I used an RPN calculator (15C) upon entering college. Getting used to it didn't take too much effort, and it was easy to see the advantage.

I've used cannabis for close to 50 years, starting when I was about 12 years old. For me it's been helpful in reducing stress caused by other's bullshit, and I have been subjected to far too much of that most all my life.

Over those years I've had friends and family give me a shit ton of guff about it. One of the things I've heard a lot is "it makes you stupid" but I was always pretty far ahead of most of my classmates in school and I taught myself how to code in the 90s and have been doing that since.

In the 80s I took a lot of heat over using cannibis, and most of it came from cocaine and alcohol users. According to drinkers I was a "drug user" and they were not. The coke users kept going with the "it makes you stupid" insult, and they loved that insult.

For most of those years I was committing a crime and risking getting fired from a job and tossed into prison if I got caught possessing it, but I could've been whiskey drunk at home from Friday after work to Sunday night and never have had to worry about that. I could've been on any prescription drugs a doctor signed off on and abusing the shit out of them and not had to worry about that. And I've known a lot of people that have been.

All of that is meant to add perspective when I say that after 50 years of experience in observing this issue I believe more than anything else it is societal pressure that causes the anxiety associated with usage. The characterization of the "dumb" and "lazy" pot smoker is still how we envision users.

We might like to think we don't respond to that, but most people do because it is so deeply entrenched in us.
But 2G is staying until 2025 so old devices can still do normal phone calls and SMS.

What do you consider to be my assumptions? As I said in the comment below, I am not attacking the guy personally (that’s what ad hominem means) - I’m sure he may be perfectly lovely and if he is genuine in his pursuits then I genuinely wish him (and you) all the best in life…
Most todo apps don't really cater to the idea of a reusable list. Items effectively disappear once checked off, unless they're repeatable, in which case a new task is generated at the frequency you specify. There are lists of things that need doing repeatedly but not necessarily on a strict repeating schedule. Packing for travel and/or camping is a typical use case, as is a grocery list. You want a reusable prepopulated list of things you might need for any given trip.
This is really outstanding documentation; it's better than a lot of hardware/software manuals I've seen - meaning the prioritization, conceptual chunking, well-thought-out flow diagrams etc, as opposed to the cheeky cartoons.

Also 'I authorize the Tigerprimer - Guderian' is a shapr contrast with the tedious homilies that decorate contemporary manuals.
A great trade if you can get enough leverage that someone else is on the hook for much of the downside risk, as LTCM managed.

Also, their famous trade was not actually selling volatility through writing options, but sla convergence trade in government bonds (short the most liquid one, which trades at a premium, get long a very similar bond which has the same cashflows but does not benefit from being blessed with the "most liquid" status). The crypto equivalent here is probably being long stablecoins, though even the best stablecoins have orders of magnitude less backing than Treasuries.

Ask HN: How do you build your Bash scripts? Do you use frameworks?
I use Bash scripts quite a bit for short term 'throw-away' type projects that may or may not be re-used once a project is over. These projects are mostly automating server and cloud environments. While each project may not be used again, I've organized the code into modules that I re-use between projects. I've considered re-writing to Python or even Node.js, but its hard to justify the investment of resources for the conversion given the flexibility and ubiquity of Bash.

I've grown to really like Bash as I can do things in one line using builtins vs a multiple line Python script requiring external libraries. I can also have exact parity with cloud command line interface ( e.g. aws, az, gcloud) features (vs the cloud API libraries).

Assuming I stick with Bash for at least the short term, what Bash frameworks have you used and recommend? I've taken a look at Bash infinity but it doesn't appear be an active project judging by lack of recent releases. I'm primarily interested in code-reuse and best practices. I'm already well on my way to building a framework with a node feel, incorporating shellcheck, creating an 'app generator' and pulling in modules from an external privately shared repository.

Am I re-inventing the wheel? Does anyone else have any use for something similar?

>You can’t drive without a license and identification. It’s not dystopian to suggest that, as a society, we’re at a point where we need to insist on public places on the Internet and personal accountability for speech.

ay yo you got a license for that speech?

ya, no, it is dystopian to suggestion people should have to have a license to speak.

And you will never sell me that speaking on the internet and speaking in the public are different enough to justify it.

social media sites have become the new town square. General public speech has moved from afk to on the internet, you can't just ignore this because its inconvenient to your view point.

The same protections we have for speech in an town square should exist for speech on the virtual town square. ie: only moderated by the courts under protection of the 1st amendment.

I'm not going to accept less.

>It’s not worth it to employ native app developers for each platform except for the largest of the large companies.

Programmers have ported Emacs to the native GUIs for MacOS, Windows and Linux (and 80% of respondents to a recent Emacs survey prefer to use one of those GUIs rather than Emacs's TTY interface), so "largest of the large companies" is going a little too far.
Drug tests are not specific to metabolites only from scheduled sources. Because unscheduled cannabidiols trigger drug tests the same way as scheduled ones, they are ineffective at identifying illegal use.

And yes, this gets challenged frequently since there's a legal concentration of ∆9 for products sold in the US naturally derived from hemp.

Generally, if you weren't caught in possession of something scheduled, not admitting to use when presented with a "positive" drug test is enough to have it dismissed.

Somehow, I suspect not using JSON in the first place might yield better absolute results since the compressor wouldn't have to deal with all the redundancy of JSON and instead focus on the content only.
I'm surprised nowhere in the article does it mention the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game series (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.T.A.L.K.E.R.)

They are loosely based on the novel, however perhaps more well known (in the US at least) than the book or movie.
> What, pray tell, do you consider to be my assumptions?

I don't know, because you didn't engage with the content of the article at all. You merely casted nasty aspersions on its author.

Yes, you are.

he seems to specialize in a specious species of polemic and obfuscation designed solely to justify and promulgate his political and religious views. If it lends a sense of purpose to his life, makes him a living or gives him a feeling of self-importance/bolsters his worth among his peers, who am I to criticize? Perhaps it is actually a deep satire with some ulterior motive.

So not only do you throw around unsubstantiated aspersions, but you are also dishonest.
I met somebody once who told me that digital drives expire and will lose data unless they are “fired up” from time to time. Because of that, his company had a system of taking out and doing reads on their old storage in a clunky and manual way throughout the year.

It's not just cooking, it's residential and commercial natural gas hookups, as the article states in the first paragraph.
Future-proofing puts you on the wrong side of Moore's Law. Let's say 4G requires 10x the transistors of 3G. In reality that's not a problem because 4G came out 10 years after 3G so transistor costs came down 10x or more. But if you wanted to build a 4G-upgradeable radio years early you'd have to pay for that 10x performance upfront using older and more expensive technology. This same argument applies to future-proofing other tech like video codecs as well.
