That definitely looks like an impactful year from the graphs there.

I think if I had kids I wouldn’t let them on such sites until 16/17 or never. Granted, I have a strong opinion against social media before this data.
I don't care about users at large they can keep debating their politics at twitter. But it is also the equivalent of a public feed for all kinds of important people and personalities
Sure, racism could be an/the underlying cause. But this perspective is very different from the normal perspective (which foxyv seemed to be promoting).

The usual perspective is that white people fleeing during white flight are racist themselves.

What you are saying is that racism causes violence, and rich white people who are victims of violence flee that violence. So they're not racist themselves but rather second-order victims of racism.
In short, No. Maybe when people had the same fight over vim/emacs back in the day.
No sound???
Literally anything. 'Tis a homemade homegrown lisp, grown by Scott Bell for several years till I took it all for myself. Nom nom.

It starts with reader.l: https://github.com/shawwn/pymen/blob/ml/reader.l where the raw character stream is turned into a bunch of nested arrays. E.g. (+ 1 2) becomes ["+", 1, 2]

Then it's punted over to compiler.l https://github.com/shawwn/pymen/blob/ml/compiler.l where it's passed through `expand`, which does a `macroexpand` followed by a `lower`. E.g. (do (do (do (print 'hi)))) becomes ["print", "\"hi\""]

Then the final thing is thrown to the compile function, which spits out print("hi") -- the final valid Python code that gets passed into the standard python `exec` function.

Works with all the standard python things, like async functions and `with` contexts. Been screwing around with it for a few years.
Actually, you’d be surprised how many techniques have been lost. They’re just not relevant, for example the actual practice of riveting battleship hulls is gone, but that changes suddenly when you want to replicate the past.
Thank you for the correction, and I don't remember seeing the PrivacyIssues page before - that's a useful resource. Looking forward to reading a bit more about popcon & hwdb as well.
This is an excellent question. The math is pretty easy to do and very few politicians want to seriously confront this reality. I did a calculation for a Toyota Camry Hybrid vs a Tesla Model 3 in another comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27096215), and even in the state of WA which has extremely favorable electricity vs gas tradeoff price wise, the Camry Hybrid is an easy $/mile winner. There were some rebuttals, but they do not change the fundamental conclusion.

Maybe things are a bit different on the lower end, but I haven't looked into it - the range on a Nissan Leaf is extremely low as you point out, and likely rules it out for many in the US regardless of $/mile calculations.
The school system is a highly abusive environment, in many places. Young adults doing meaningless busywork in a highly-restrictive environment with artificial social dynamics is bad enough without some of them being modelled off prisons.
Yeah. One has only to look at the housing market in Berlin to see that it can be bad. Of course that is one extreme and there are many different ways to implement rent control. Overall I think this is a whole other can of worms in itself though
> The purpose is you want to use code in other modules.

So put them in the same module? Circular modules don’t give you the benefits of modules, do they? Not an expert in modularity.
I guess if you patent something and then never use and/or sell it, it will just sit there, protected by law, like a valuable piece of land full of weeds and shrubs in the middle of a city.
The amount of land in a given area of a city in largely fixed. You can build upwards to create more usable space, but there are no economies of scale in doing this. The relationship is the opposite —- taller buildings are more expensive per unit of area as you go up. Space is a multi-floor building is not constructed marginally like a widget in a factory. Each floor must support the floor above it.
> - It is not fun but frustrating to work in Rust, and contrary to C, you are limited by the language/compiler on what you can do.

That depends on the beholder.

Developers that grew up in Algol derived languages like Modula, Pascal and Ada, feel Rust brings fresh wind into systems programming, with safety considerations we thought it were lost forever and only partially covered by C++.

Then there are the others like Kernighan, that feel that languages like Pascal, sorry Rust, is programming with a straightjacket and better not change anything.
This is so needed. I feel like a lot of people know enough about python imports, but everyone has pains with it.
no need for that. I am asking these questions out of genuine curiosity. Are you certain that there is no extra heavy metal waste or plastic waste from the entire EV production chain? Can you nudge me towards that evidence?
On webide.se (free shell and web IDE) I use unix sockets alot!, for example nginx proxy from https://foo.user.webide.se to /home/user/socket/foo so that users can test their apps using HTTPS/SSL as many browser features need a httpS URL to work. Unix sockers are also used for accessing a shared mySQL server, and an x11 server so you can test out "native" apps and run Android emulator in the browser.
No. Python is a language I have to use infrequently, but I give up half of the time using a project found on GitHub because of missing depencies, the need to install a package manager to install another package manager to install dependencies, etc. The other day I spent some times fixing a docker image that was working fine few months ago but which was now failing because some Python package install returned an error.

On the contrary, C projects tends to build with 3 commands and C# (often way bigger) with a single command, and without having to do magic things around "virtual environments".

Much better source than Lenin's Tomb are available. Journalists tend to focus on simplifying, story like explanations, whereas reality is much more complex, even more interesting than the "stories" they tell.

Chernobyl was a mere foot note in the Biographies of Gorbachev.

In fact, ethno national flareups in Nagorno-Karabakh, and rise of anti-Russian sentiments in Ukraine and Baltics is perhaps the most critical factors that lead to the collapse of the USSR.

Even on a chronological basis, it would be attribute to Chernobyl. USSR collapsed in 1991 December. Even a month before it collapsed, it wasn't imagined or expected that it would simply collapse that way.
> But the German manufacturer Solarworld lost the price war against Chinese competitors and went bankrupt in 2018, leaving the factory building in Freiberg empty until Meyer Burger's new production moved in.

Of course you can be competitive when your startup cost has a significant devaluation step.
I am not sure whether your claim is that my use or the GP's use of "violence" is ambiguous. My point is that most property crimes are violence by the most common and widespread definitions. The attempt to recast property crimes as non-violent is very recent, pushed by progressive activists to play down widespread property crime in places like San Francisco or to play down crimes committed during riots throughout 2020. A non-violent crime would be something like identity theft, not someone using physical force, like a hammer to break a car window or whatever else.
Feels weird to invoke the Lindy Effect on Hacker News, but here we are.

The general premise (and Taleb didn't come up with this) is that for a phenomenon with no natural lifespan, you should assume you're halfway through its actual lifespan.

Biologically modern humans are about 100,000 years old, so I put our tombstone at 102021 A.D.

Now that could be wrong... in either direction! But I'm inclined to plan for the future such that we're as comfortable as we can be for the next hundred millennia.
You seem to be upset because it became cheaper to double the range of your decade-old car for cheaper than buying a new battery of the original style.

When was the last time you were able to double the mileage of a decade-old gas car for less than its value?

In most of the world poor people can't afford cars. We should be increasing the supply of places people can live without cars, not subsidizing more cars.
You are right. I should not be defeatist. If social media is truly ruining our mental health (it's not really an "if" anymore, is it?) then it is both reasonable and necessary to start doing something along those lines.
Problems with Decision Making at W3C
If you have a public university nearby, you can access most popular journals in the libraries. Since they are state funded, generally any resident of the state has a right to use their libraries.
Glad to answer questions if you'd like. I started and helped run a bandwidth cooperative from 2000-2015 or so. I decommissioned my last box in the coop at the beginning of this year.

The basic story, though, is that before the dot-com crash, a lot of SF nerds kept their pet projects on work bandwidth. That became risky during the crash, so I and some pals rented a fractional cabinet in a colo provider and split the costs. I think we ended up using 4 providers over the years and peaked at a full cabinet, almost all 1U servers.

I was glad I did it and at the end I was glad to be done with it. A co-op is hard to wrangle and it's basically impossible to make sure that the workload is evenly spread, so you have to be comfortable with the fact that somebody, probably you, is going to be doing a bunch of unpaid work, even if it's only keeping track of what needs doing and herding people into doing it.

Eventually, I decided running physical hardware was more hassle than it was worth to me. Trying to solve mysteries like, "Why does google sometimes decide my email is spam" was a multi-year effort that I never did solve, even though I knew people at Google. And I grew to dread the chance that something would break and I'd have to rush down to the colo, possibly having to return from vacation (or beg a friend to be remote hands). So eventually I shifted some of the stuff I was hosting off to service providers (yay Fastmail!) and the rest into Terraform-built slices of AWS.

I do sometimes miss the ability to fully run down a problem (e.g., by looking at mail server logs). But mostly it's a relief. I'm happy now to get my hardware kicks on things where uptime doesn't matter.
> the real tragedy is iPhone. No sideloading

I’m so tired of seeing folks parroting no sideloading on iOS. That’s not been true for a long time. Yes, the conditions of side loading (needs a free developer account, must have app signing refreshed weekly, etc) might not be palatable for your taste (which I’d generally agree), but to say it’s not possible to sideload apps on a stock iOS device is just wrong.
Private companies and governments can both exist without accountability.
With AI, will China still be the center or production? Or will production take place close to where the produced goods are needed?

As I understand it, most things are produced in China because of low wages. But AI has the same wage everywhere around the world: 0.
Because you don't pay the carbon cost of the gasoline.
If there had been, we would have seen them.
That was my understanding as well.

'App-scope' or 'micro-workflow-scope' startups using VC capital as a sort of 'business anabolic' for short-term raise, at expense of long-term viability, seems to be a new fenomena.

Another anology that comes to mind is related to 'over-stimulation'. Again a relatively new phenomena as noted in this recent submission: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27942499

I witnessed this first hand. My daughter is in this age bracket and our school was 100% remote up until the spring of 2021. The return to school was hybrid, two days a week, and divided 50/50 by alphabet.

Her anxiety levels went through the roof. Thankfully we didn't get to an extreme case of suicidal ideation but things were pretty bad for a while. Medication has helped, but getting a therapist appointment is nearly impossible. They're 110% booked.

What we understand is that during the shutdown the 'alpha' girls all coalesced on social media and shut everyone else out. They also took vacations, had slumber parties, and did a ton of things that everyone else was avoiding because those families tried to listen to the current advice.

When the return to school happened these cliques instantly had fresh prey: the unconnected, the minorities, the non-english speakers, the ones that didn't purchase new clothing over the lockdown, the ones that didn't go to the slumber parties and vacations. And half of your friends/allies were in the other side of the alphabet and working from home.

This is all stuff that boys of this age don't care about. But the girls are vicious. Two of our friends have physically relocated out of the district, two others are going to change schools.

TLDR: Preteen girls are awful, and always have been, but the lockdown concentrated and amplified it to horrific proportions.
> or never

How does that work?
Yet did the successful suicide rate in males increase to compensate? It seems like you have a duty, out of politeness, to at least address whether you attempted to address this.

Bringing up makes suicide rates vs female without trying to address if that explains a 50v3% increase in attempts isn’t very helpful, or interesting.
But that’s a worse solution unless you feel the need to test the kernel’s tcp stack.

You’re back to opening local ports that anyone on the box can access. You can work around that by isolating the tests into a container/namespace, but now you have more stuff to orchestrate.

Finally, the problem with binding to 0 and letting the kernel pick a port is now you have to wait for that bind event to happen to know which port to connect to from your test side. With domain sockets you can set that up in advance and know how to communicate with the process under test without needing a different API to get its bound port number.

that's if you disable through the normal settings interface. the group policy settings stick, although you might have to turn off "tamper protection" first before applying the group policy.

The Clean Air Act provided a legal framework to fix air pollution. We need a similar approach to fix mind pollution. I don’t think this is impossible because Zuckerberg has managed to piss off apparently everyone across the political spectrum. If it was someone like Steve Jobs I would say the problem would be much harder.
How would you handle it if they begged, pleaded, and explained how all their friends use it and it'd be social ostracism to not use it?

I'm not a parent yet but I dread this situation. I'm good at denying urges personally, so I'd tell them desire is a constant part of life, we can't always get what we crave. Further, I'd state actual facts about girls mental health, they will see and be exposed to unhealthy mindsets on this app.

Some good that'll do. When I have kids, it'll be "dad, why can't we join the VR orgy party? It's not real sex!"

Florida is also extremely suburban, even in its biggest cities the truly “city” like parts are quite small. That lifestyle is not for everyone.
Actually the Anwser is simple to solve at least estimate fairly accurately if you assume the Airplane has to fly. You just need to know the model and how many pallets fit into the cargo. The pallets are square with known volumes you pack them at the packing factor for spheres and you are done. There is some bulk cargo area but it’s not big so you need to account for that and That’s about it. You can ignore mass unless the problem lets you smash then then you are just packing plastic blocks into a container and you have to double check you aren’t limited by cargo capacity and range.

A more interesting problem would be to suppose you needed to float a 747 that crashed and sank in tact. How would you go about calculating the right number of ping pong balls to do that.

Op means typing a socket into the address bar. Using a socket for proxying is not the same thing.
Yea I think this is a bit harsh. I don't think it is quite such a trivial task to figure out when a FPV drone has such degrees of freedom. It can basically change to any direction at any time. Then the known space is the air in the room.The humans are also training on a known course.

A legit drone racing pilot is incredible at this also so it is not like there is a ton of meat on the bone to pick at.

It is cool from the perspective of racing drones even if less impressive from the perspective of AGI or something.

Illegal is defined by law and laws applied to a subset of people.
What do you think the police does with illegal substances? Not confiscating them because "owning" it is illegal? No, the police does not take ownership the state does and the laws do not apply to the state. There is nothing out there in the world that is illegal for everyone to handle. not drugs, not nukes, not illegal media etc. someone has to have the right to handle it somehow.

Knowing which numbers are capable of receiving SMS and which aren't has some value.

Especially in a world of number portability where you can't just say "oh, that's an old number, it must be POTS".

But I guess, here, if a number is from your contact list, it may still be POTS.

But at least you have higher assurance that it's an active user. If you wardial one day, you quickly find out how many numbers never lead to a human for various reasons. In theory, some of these are trap numbers and quickly flag the caller as suspicious, but I doubt it.
If you had kids, you would know that you can control what they do up until about middle-school age, at which point your ability to control them begins to decline. They're starting to grow into independent adults.
While this is true, the expectations of the US have also overshot. The US is an outlier in terms of square footage in new homes, American homes are very large. And personally I don't want some 2000 sq ft McMansion because that means all the cooling, heating, cleaning, and maintenance of such a large space that I've only ever seen really used to accumulate lots of stuff.

We don't need to go to extremes (a Parisian studio can go as low as 100 square feet!) but house size in the US has mostly crept up as a function of minimum lot sizes in US zoning.
It wouldn't have mattered.

The human trials had already shown that just one dose of Pfizer has an efficacy of 89% after 15 days. With a fast-spreading pandemic, the priority is to get as many people on their first dose as possible. This both starts to reduce the rate of infection, and also reduces the death rate.

The long-term effectiveness isn't a priority at first for the most developed countries. If necessary they can just order more vaccine after a few months and run a booster campaign later in the year. Cost isn't an issue.

Can I just say that the introduction to Lisp you made in your README.md is really good!

I keep trying to get into Lisp (and JavaScript, and TypeScript, etc etc) but I've been a sysadmin my whole professional life and also a chronic pain sufferer. That translates into mostly having energy only for work and that's it, not much motivation to learn after work or on the weekend.

In my DevOps job, I write Terraform, plus read javascript and cloudformation yaml. I do wish I could convert my current stuff to AWS CDK, but I don't want to fragment the multiple projects that are using Terraform. (I haven't looked into tf-cdk much at all yet)

An alternative idea to the ones mentioned here already: Perhaps they simply didn't want to give away the fact that gallium doping is an idea worth holding onto. By letting the patent timeout they save themselves tonnes of licensing money in the future, whilst also offering a reason for customers to upgrade.

More cynically, they may have preferred the fact that the panels would degrade over time, driving sales. Now that the patent is expiring, they either dope with gallium or lose customers to their competitors.
