1. What's funny about the photo at the top of this blog post is that it scales with the width of the window you're using to view it. That normally would seem like a bug but it actually works with this photo, to the point that I can't tell what the original width of the photo is!

2. This quote is kinda funny to me:

> Many of the engineers whom I work with, actively seek out Elixir specific opportunities because they enjoy the language and the run-time that much (I’ll be diving into specifically why a bit later in the post ). This is also supported by a recent StackOverflow developer survey where 68.2% of people working with Elixir, wanted to continue working with Elixir. For some comparisons, Go received a 67.9% rating and Javascript received a 66.8% rating.

It seems like OP is trying to make the point that Elixir is so special that engineers will actively seek out Elixir jobs ... and then cites stats that show that's true only 1% more than Go and Javascript.

Maybe I'm reading it wrong and OP is just trying to show that Elixir is only as loved as Go/JS, not better, but in any case the stat cited does not show Elixir is any more special than either of those other super popular languages.

(I'm currently an Elixir dev, btw. I like it well enough but I personally don't think it's enough better than Go or JS to justify switching when the community is still so small.)
How Far Can I Push a GenServer?
But can that 48 miles be exclusively electric or does it fall back to turning on the ICE every time you punch the accelerator? This is my grief of every PHEV I've tried other than the Volt; they cannot be driven as a true EV even when the battery is full because they use the ICE for performance boost, etc. The Volt runs better without the ICE.
That sounds like nonsense and it's certainly not what I've been taught when I've taken advanced first aid courses. It's true that the statistics are not on your side in that the CPR has only a 1 in 5 chance of being successful and that is if you start immediately after the persons heart stops, but that's no reason not to try it.

Recently, an acquaintance of mine was saved by two of his employees who performed CPR on him for 30 mins until the ambulance arrived. He was very lucky to have collapsed in front of them and that they had both been in the army and had good first aid medical. He was hospitalised for 3 weeks and he has memory problems now, but he's out of bed and there for his kids.
That result came out yesterday or the day before.

Yes DJT appointed him Chairman, but I recall his name from the earlier 2010's and wikipedia confirms he was initially appointed Commissioner unanimously by the Senate in 2012.
whats the logic here?

Everything is political for someone who is politically active?
This is a great idea that I wish I'd got stuck into doing when I thought of it :) Very nice.
Much of openness is what you are born with. Seriously. You have a baseline and studies have shown it seldom changes much over your life.

There are ways to "picking the lock" however, as another part. That's the basis of marketing and sales. The processes are very well defined though the results are stochastic rather than deterministic. Hence marketing and sales are "number games".

But such techniques are merely tools without specific morality or ethics - never give the human a free pass on morality or ethics because only humans can make such decisions.
In fairness, I got the feeling that the author of the article was writing in the context of western Europe. While Western Europeans have a hard time understanding the large and dangerous wildlife populations that exist in North America, it's hardly surprising since they don't live there. The author's prescriptions sound like nice and (relatively) easy things people in the UK can do to make life a bit richer there. It's doubtful he'd suggest pathways for bears through American or Canadian suburbs :-).
Yes. But also, some companies have started using these networks as private space because historically, it has never been announced.

Reassigning this space would probably be a worse experience for whoever it is assigned to than those that started using the network internally too.
> That is soooo easy to say and extremely hard to do.

Yeah completely agree. It’s useful at least to know that we do have that choice, even if it’s hard to make that choice sometimes. The first step is simply knowing that it’s an option I guess.
You are not everyone. Just because you think it's better doesn't mean it actually is. Most of the time when I want to disconnect from Wifi, it's a temporary measure because the network I'm connected to is slow or dead. I imagine it's the same for many others.

Apple is notoriously allergic to putting toggles for every little thing, and that shouldn't be a surprise to software developers. We all know every user-configurable setting increases complexity.
This is already happening; a lot of the old class A blocks have been split up and sold off.
That is true. It was a great mix of being able to write longer posts, and occasionally just share a pic or video.
In parent's defense he was (a) quoting someone and (b) intentionally simplifying and distilling into a narrative label, which is the whole point of this thread.

It's also true that the Muslim Golden Age and european dark ages overlap, to the extent that you want to think in such terms.

OTOH, I would point out that civilized or barbarous, Muslim or Christian, lords abused their subjects.
Yeah, me too. Was confused why they needed to have an IP at the beginning, coming from AWS, since they have internal networking now. The public IP doesn't serve any purpose for me, and would perhaps also improve security.

I am sorry for your experience, but Hetzner is a european Hoster in Germany and mostly does business with german and european companies. Rejecting a customer because he is on another continent is a valid reason for me.

The sole overhead of doing the accounting and even abuse handling for other continents is probably not worth the money.

Maybe it isn't clear from their page and they should be more open about which markets they serve.
Agriculture specifically has been an important part of American mythology from day 1. For a lot of people, farming is either a personal/family identity, or part of a broader sense of identity in the USA.

It is also somewhat different from other "traditional" professions/trades in that it was not obsoleted by factories and mass production.

"Family weaving" disappeared because it became economically unviable. "Family farming" did not disappear because it is still economically viable, and it holds an extra-special place in the American cultural identity.

'According to the US Department of Energy, less than 5 per cent of lithium-ion batteries — demand for which is set to boom as carmakers such as Mercedes lay out goals to go “all-electric” — are currently recycled.'

Given that gasoline continues to easily provide the most bang for the buck/weight/volume IMO hybrids are the logical way forward until grids are recreated to cater to Small Nuclear Reactors and rewired to handle volume electrical delivery.

I like this idea, but once you build something with some given wildlife in mind... what happens to the rest of the wildlife?

I live in an area where open areas often have a lot of trees. That's great, lots of deer, people like deer ... problem is the deer have no predators. The deer don't have to move around and love to eat certain tree saplings in particular. Result? The forested areas simply don't have those trees or bushes that the deer like to eat anymore. Forested areas that would have thick underbrush are absolutely clear cut (as far as underbrush goes) by the deer. It's so complete you'd think humans went through and clear cut the brush, but it's the deer.

Worse, that impacts other animals who rely on those trees and bushes.

I feel like there's WAY more balance to be considered here and second order effects we don't understand.

We like to help animals we like to see / are easy to help (there are some rabbits outside my window now, I like them) but helping them might not be the best choice.

Again -- votes don't matter. I absolutely love the parent post for making it so plain.

The parent post made an assertion, but did not really justify that assertion. Sure, it's easy to say that in some abstract sense "down votes don't matter". I believe that myself, in that sort of abstract / hand-wavy sense. But real life experience shows us that down votes do matter to people - at least some people, some times, in some situations. Why? I'm not a psychologist, so I'm not going to pretend to understand the deeper aspects of that. But it seems self evident to me that it's related to the other evolved responses we humans have, related to peer approval, social status, recognition, embarrassment, etc.

But _why_ does it feel kind of grating? Why does it frustate you?

In the specific case I mentioned, I think it's largely about the mismatch between expectations and perceived subjective sense of "right/wrong" and reality. I expect random throwaway comments that just say "taxation is theft" to get downvoted. But when I spend 30 minutes doing research, looking up citations, and crafting a carefully composed response to something, to try to make a point or provide a useful reference to help somebody and then that gets down voted, it triggers that instinctive "unfairness reaction" that we have. Or that's my approximate theory anyway.

Moreover, why do you only care about the downvotes?

I think because a downvote is a form of disapproval, and it's done in public, and it correlates to our desire to avoid being shamed / embarrassed, especially in front of others.

IPv6 adoption figures are artificially inflated by
LTE and 5G smartphone connections (which are invariably IPv6) whereas landline/DSL/DOCSIS connections are still IPv4 on so many ISPs.

I'll say one thing about Comcast in the US: they have atrocious customer service, scummy upselling, and that horrid wi-fi network sharing... but they do 2 things that mean I'll forever give them a free-pass:

1. They have CBC channels in the US so I can watch the Olympics without watching NBC's horribly dumbed-down, artificially time-shifted, and condescending feed.

2. They have a rock solid IPv6 network for everyone.
One controls access to the internet. The other controls a subset of platforms on the internet.

I already know all those things and learned them for pleasure. Once you know it, nocode vs code is like the difference between using a GUI with a mouse or learning the keyboard shortcuts and using the command line. GUI with mouse just slows you down and is less flexible in general. Fine for lots of things but it's hardly a substitute for complex apps. Nocode apps are basically approximations.
I'm not familiar with the accessibility, but this seems more like Slack needing to make the feature more accessible than saying that the feature is bad.

That'd be a bold move, considering (1) it may not have helped, and (2) it is possible the thumb incident wasn't how she got infected. It's possible she got infected some other random day in the lab. Maybe she rubbed her eye while wearing a contaminated glove, or breathed in brain flecks through a poor fitting N95, while slicing a particularly dry cryosample.
> A PCR test that is sensitive is a great tool. Remember the NBA bubble? A less sensitive test would have allowed outbreaks inside the bubble, making some player sick and unable to play, as well as eroding the public's confidence on PCR tests.

A hammer is a great tool. It is not a great tool for repairing broken pottery.

PCR is the ideal tool if you want to detect infinitesimal amounts of a specific nucleic acid sequence. It is not a great tool if you want to use it to define "illness" or "infectivity", for it cannot tell you anything about those questions.

Can you use PCR to cast the widest possible net, and isolate literally everyone who has any shred of viral RNA? Yes. That's essentially what we've been doing. It is a strategy, and this strategy is appropriate in some situations. This strategy becomes a problem when you forget that you're allowing a lot of false positives to be caught up in the process, and start behaving as if "a positive" is a meaningful clinical diagnosis. Now that we have highly effective vaccines and are out of the acute phase of the crisis, it's time to adjust our definition of "infection" to more accurately reflect the true clinical meaning of the word.
H2 does not, and cannot offer the end-to-end efficiency of battery electric vehicles. The distribution infrastructure for H2 is inherently less efficient than electricity distribution alone, making BEVs 3x more efficient:

https://electrek.co/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2016/04/hybri...

The primary advantage is faster refueling. The price is no in-home refueling -- a big win for BEVs, as most trips will not require refueling on the road. There are also real safety concerns about storing and transporting H2 at very high pressure.
People only have so much mental bandwidth. If you lived completely alone, and one day someone walked up and started talking to you, and it was the only person you'd seen that month, you might take hours to talk to that person. You might thoughtfully consider their position, even if you didn't agree with it.

We don't live in that world. Even here on HN, there are sometimes really strident voices trying very aggressively to advocate and defend their viewpoint. But it's worse off of HN. It's everywhere. It's social media, and TV, and advertising, and spam phone calls, and and and. Nobody has time to fairly consider even a small fraction of the attempts to persuade us. We just reject without consideration all these attempts, because it's the only way to keep any kind of space for ourselves in our own heads.

Counterpoint, many companies won't allow GPL software even if eventually it'd be open sourced again.

I personally wouldn't mind a for sale version of this game updated to run on my phone. Even if it's 15$ or so. Without a profit motive the number of people who would bother to continue development is much lower.

I know Americans like to hate Nissan but outside the US the Leaf was a pretty reasonable first stab at an electric car, before Tesla and is into its second rev now. It’s by no means the best one but given they were early to the market it’s a little unfair to blame all Japanese car makers.

I observed a while ago that the more directly your work helps someone else, the less it tends to pay. I'm not sure what that says about our psychology, but I suspect it's something to do with shame/pride.

There's a lot of replies about how you're organizing data so others can do their jobs more efficiently, but that's a fairly romanticized view of tech work. I get where you're coming from.
I've had great success solving those things merely by having multiple deployments of the same monolith, each answering to different parts of the same API. It worked pretty well IME.
> This is nice and all, but what I am waiting for is the phone to power my desktop setup. I walk up, drop the phone into a dock, and my three 27" monitors all wake up with the desktop exactly as I left it.

This has been attempted multiple times. (Motorola's go at it and Windows Phone are two recent attempts that come to mind) Each time it has failed.

Reasons:

1. The upgrade cycle on phones is much shorter than on laptops/desktops.

2. Phone manufacturers want you to use their own proprietary docks, which means investing in their ecosystem, which is a non-starter for most people, especially since history shows such products will be discontinued after one, maybe two, generations. The investment just isn't worth it. (chicken and egg problem here).

3. Corporations already have fine grained infrastructure in place to manage Mac/PCs, and employees are pretty used to it. Of course your work laptop has restrictions on what you can do, and corporate VPN software, etc etc. People generally expect their phones to belong to them, they tolerate PIN policies and remote wiping, but that is about it. Newer android versions do support a dual work/personal mode, but that still isn't on the level of what exists in the Mac/PC management space.

4. Thermal limits are a thing.

5. Related to #4, pushing a phone at its limits all day long will shorten its usable lifespan. LiON batteries don't enjoy living next a hot CPU that's running at full load for hours on end.

As for cords, thunderbolt will take care of your bandwidth needs. Even USB 3.2 (I think that's the right version?) can handle dual screens, USB 4 can certainly handle it.

Is it doable with todays tech? Of course. Is it even more doable with some sort of cloud compute dumb terminal setup? Naturally, could have done that a decade+ ago.

> hn down votes jokes so aggressively

"if you insist on taking up my class time making jokes, please see to it that they are funny."
The way I see it, the left tried really, really hard for a long time. They probably tried badly, but they did try. The intellectual left loves to pump out articles and books trying to explain right-wing thought:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What%27s_the_Matter_with_Kansa...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Righteous_Mind
https://campaignstops.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/05/06/do-as-i-d... (paywall)

Whereas books by prominent conservatives tend to have titles like "Demonic : How the Liberal Mob Is Endangering America" and "Liberal Fascism : The Secret History of the American Left, from Mussolini to the Politics of Change". (Not that the left doesn't produce books with similar titles, but they don't get wide distribution, while you've heard of Ann Coulter and Jonah Goldberg).

Your statement is probably true, but it's as a matter of self-fulfilling prophecy. If one side insists long enough that that the other side is literally evil, they won't be understood no matter how hard their opponents try.

Every time liberals lose elections, there is hand-wringing about understanding the other side. But I've never seen the equivalent worry about how conservatives can understand liberals. Instead, the response is usually to do the same thing even harder -- which works, because it generates enthusiastic support from the far right and grudging support from the center, while compromise bores
everybody.

It eventually resulted in Trump, whose primary skill is in being deliberately offensive. And it would have worked again, had a literal pandemic not intervened. He remains incredibly popular with the right -- not because he tries to understand liberals, but because he specifically rejects the notion that there's anything there to understand.

This conclusion is repugnant, and I rejected it for a very long time. But it seems inescapable. And I have no idea what to recommend, because it seems clear that no amount of me trying harder to understand is going to help. I do believe, however, that additional calls for equivalence are detrimental. They deny the reality that the split is asymmetric, and therefore shunt us into lines of thought that will continue to prove ineffective.

>2. How will people be able to evacuate a city or state in an emergency situation when charging/electric supply is not present (which is always likely to happen)?

I never understood this scenario. Any situation where there is no electricity supply also means you wouldn't be able to pump gas. You do realize gas stations run on electricity right?
DOD-NET essentially uses their space as RFC 1918 space, they have never announced it.
