IMO the big thing is not being bored. Someone is late for a meeting? Doesn't matter, you've got HN to read. On the back seat for a long drive? Doesn't matter, you can answer emails. Or play a game.

The whole psychologically weird phase of "hmm I'm here and waiting, and all I can do is watch paint dry" seems to have vanished.

I'm not sure what people prefer more though. Say you're waiting for a date, do you feel best breaking off directly from your reading of the dragon book, or would you feel best just doing nothing until they showed up?
This is the basic story that Acemoglu and Robinson tell: ultimately, inclusive political institutions (their rather fluffy term for liberal democracy) will win because they allow for creative destruction and renewal in the economy. Dictatorship never creates lasting economic growth, because the dictator is supported by the status quo elites, who eventually become dinosaurs.

I'm not sure I believe it, but it's a bold prediction and worth thinking about.
The big difference here is that US manufacturing didn't over rely on the soviet back then, nor where they massively buying US bonds...

Take mocking for example, in Ruby/Rails it's a breeze. In Java you need to invent a dependency injection framework (Spring) to do it.
I understand that calcium salts and bicarbonate ions are common in the ocean, and are increasingly common as the oceans become more acidic, but have no idea how common that is.

How much seawater do you need to get one kg of CaCO3 precipitate?
Individual branches have mutations, and those are cloned for new trees. Which is what the article is about. It doesn't take seeds to have this behavior.
There was an article in the 2000s from a dude looking at a graph library, java had 3 major players, non of them did what he needed (generics issues or similar). He ended up rolling his own.

The rumourmill has it that there is a "Pixel Fold" coming this year, featuring Samsung screens. While I'd love a pixel foldable, Samsung has had a few generations to fine-tune their foldable screens, so I don't know how good a first-gen of those can be.

Fair enough, though I would argue Rust's Vec being the 'default' data structure plays a big role in non-beginners avoiding that mistake, versus Lisp where you more rarely see people reaching for vectors (though they exist).

I have, in fact, never seen Rust code using a linked-list in the wild, though obviously there are many valid uses cases where linked lists beat vectors (and I probably don't need to tell you =]), and surely there are many examples. And the same goes for C++, you don't reach for std::list without a specific reason. Those de-facto 'defaults' in traditional 'vaguely imperative/systems' languages steer people towards different code styles.

Of course both have access to all mainstream data structure, but I'd like to think the author does know about the complexity of linked-lists versus vectors, they only made that mistake because they probably don't reach for vectors as often in Common Lisp as someone in Rust would — or presumably they would have quickly gained an innate eye for expensive copies in recursive functions

If I recall correctly, the tardigrades (and extremophiles like D. radiodurans) have evolved to handle damage brought on by desiccation. As a fortunate side-effect, this general robustness also protects against radiation.

This is a theorised list of biochemistry that might support life https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothetical_types_of_biochemi...
Smartphones have truly improved my life beyond comparison. I still remembered the bad old days when I was young:

* Too worried to take a picture because I might ran out of film.

* Too worried about screwing up the flash light because I didn't have enough film.

* Recording important things (like my class) was too big of a hassle and too expensive (Not enough tapes).

* SMS was a cost that I always had to worry.

* Books are much lighter now because they are now digital.

* Podcast was such a hassle before because of carrying around tapes.

* Laptop was a thing but nowhere as convenient as a smartphone to look up a reference.
Very impressive performance:

> While performance is quite good right now (~7.5Gbps TX on my small test box),
not a lot of effort has yet been spent on optimizing it

> Jonathan Tooker reported to me that, on his system with an Intel AC9560 WiFi card, he gets
~600Mbps without WireGuard, ~600Mbps with wireguard-go/Wintun over Ethernet,
~95Mbps with wireguard-go/Wintun over WiFi, and ~600Mbps with WireGuardNT over
WiFi.

Congratulations to Simon and Jason! Very happy WireGuard user here.
If one guy says "This shit doesn't work!" and the other says "This is how it works", then it seems more like knowing how it works, well, properly than "shaming".

> There's a part of me that wants to push back against this idea that fresh produce is synonymous with good nutrition.

Whether the causality chain is over fresh produce or not. It is established fact that when a dollar store causes the close local grocers the nutrition and health of the local population suffers.

Physics and chemistry impose some serious constraints on all life forms. On earth we have convergent evolution, independent groups of species independently develop similar solutions for a specific problem. Life on other planets will have similar problems, e.g. reproduction, locomotion and perception of its environment, and its solutions will probably be similar to the ones we have on earth.
The ocean and the atmosphere exist in an equilibrium there is a 'balance' of relative concentration of CO2. Because CO2 can dissolve in water as CO3 and HCO3 the concentration is skewed to a higher concentration in oceans. When we take out CO2 from the oceans we lower the relative concentration, so we shift it out of balance. So the entire ocean becomes the surface area for re-absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere to re-establish that balance!
Sure, but being a quasiparticle doesn't mean it's been observed. It could still be entirely theoretical.
Red Plenty is a fabulous book about exactly this attempt to develop tools to plan the economy. Not a success, in the end, but it gave rise to great advances in the maths of dynamic optimization.
Each individual experiences life in a different way. Who is to say that leaving modern technology at the door isn't genuine.
Now I'm curious as to what the question was!
Perhaps you can first explain why you think that is relevant? AFAIK it was an agreement that the US did not participate in, nor was its intent to destabilize.
It really is, it's so buttery smooth and the battery life and how quiet it is is quite slick. I don't own one but I did borrow one from a friend for a day trip and it was really nice. Not nice enough for me to not wait until I run my current battery hog linux daily driver into the ground but it was really nice and did a decent job compiling my rust projects.
The challenge is that it's really low grade heat (< 100C). DC waste heat would probably find its best use in district heating applications (though I did read about some cases still using a heat pump to boost the waste heat stream even higher - still for district heating though).
I've always wanted to see soccer played with two balls on the field. I think it would be many times more interesting.

I disagree with this assessment of silicon based life. While it is true that Earth's crust is mostly silicon, it's also at a temperature that would make metabolic processes using silicon very difficult until you get down to the mantle.

It could be that silicon based life is in fact constrained by temperature and can only arise in planets where the mean temperature is in the thousands. This could in fact mean that we do have a parallel silicon based biosphere underneath our feet. There is obviously no evidence for this whatsoever but then again, there is no reason to assume that the occasional leakage in the form of volcanic eruptions would leave any trace that we could use to deduce that these samples were once living entities.
I think you misunderstood my post, and considering the surprising number of downvotes on it, I wonder if others did too?

Can you explain further though? I don't understand your case. It sounds like an aimbot, which is what would be prevented by not sending the client more info than is needed.
Unless "intelligent" life inevitably renders its local environment uninhabitable and collapses in short order - a proposition looking more likely by the day. It may be that the intelligence required to maximally exploit the local negentropy is strictly less than the intelligence required to not do that, despite being able to. Indeed it's difficult to see how the trait of "behaving responsibly with an entire planet" could evolve - the selection pressure is rather all-or-nothing.
I think you are mistaken. Mocking and DI frameworks are two unrelated concepts. There is nothing in Java that forces you to use a DI framework, e.g., Spring if you want to use mocks during testing.
Ubuntu works for some people but it's super broken for others, it is strange for the most popular distro. May be it comes down to which version you use. I use Elementary OS on one machine which is based on an ubuntu lts version while I used ubuntu (albeit years ago) and issues I faced were much worse.
> We should centralize the "heavy response teams" until we hit a level of aggregation where they are being deployed relatively frequently (over a large area) and it makes sense to give them a lot of very specific training on those scenarios.

Yeah, while I generally advocate decentralizing local law enforcement and distributing “policing” within domain-focussed local agencies that are mostly not solely about law enforcement, tactical response and major investigation functions both are things that make sense to be pulled out of local agencies entirely and (separately from each other) centralized at a state or regional level, and the National Guard is a very good place to put the tactical response function.
TV has been like that since the advent of cable.
Think of wireguard as the plumbing. There will be a plethora of things available on top of wireguard that will enable all sorts of easy authentication options. (For example, TailScale.)
I totally get that, I understand, and I feel for your situation. But you still have to follow the rules here. Other people breaking the rules doesn't entitle you to break them. They aren't allowed to break the rules, either, and we try our hardest to be as even-handed about this as we possibly can.

There are a lot of cognitive biases at work in these situations. It always feels like the other person started it; it always feels like they're doing worse; it always feels like one is being "brigaded" and so on. Mostly the others are feeling the same things. Everyone has good reasons for what they're fighting for, even if those good reasons aren't expressed, and even when the arguments they're making are wrong or distorted or one-sided. Since everyone is having these similar feelings and perceptions, we all have to be super careful about moderating (in all senses of the word "moderate"), or we're guaranteed a downward spiral. That wouldn't do any of us good, regardless of our views on countries or anything else.

The motor is driven by a controller which modulates external switching transistors as a function of trigger percentage and the direction switch.

It likely also does stuff like battery monitoring and thermal foldback.
> Can you at least admit that the economics field at large opposes rent control?

It's pretty pointless to talk about rent control if one hasn't established what the desired outcome is. An "efficient" market? Affordable housing for the common man?

Rent control keeps on providing affordable housing in Europe. Abolishing it would cause the rents to rise (both economists and the people promoting it admits to that) and thus give billions to land lords and property owners. But I guess that's a feature, not a bug?
For what it's worth, using context managers for this kind of thing is pretty much standard nowadays, and not supporting this behavior feels jarring and archaic.
Thanks! Actually I keep worrying that the TTS is the weakest link. Good to know that there are people who feel it's up to the mark.

> Think about it like this, China built the biggest high speed rail network in the world and doing such a thing wasn't just about "power" it was done because the regime cares about it's people.

The US built its massive interstate highway system for various reasons, including to enable more rapid movement of military assets in times; to enable rapid evacuation of cities in case of nuclear strikes; to promote better connectivity between major population centers; to enable white people to flee the cities; and to destroy prominent black neighborhoods. You'll note that by the latter elements, there is definitely a sense of punishing certain political outgroups that was sometimes pretty explicit in the designs. So did the US government care about its people or not?

I don't know how the micropolitics of China affected the location of right-of-way choices to help or punish local residents within urban areas, but there are definitely areas of China's internal planning that are rather explicitly designed to punish political outgroups, such as encouraging Han migration to dilute the indigenous populations of Tibet and Xinjiang. And of course there's the Hukou system, designed to prevent rural people from moving to cities.

> Sort of a tangent but California can't even ring the shitty bart around the bay. Likely because not enough of the key people in critical places care.

The US planning process has a notorious effect in that it makes it very easy for local activists to block projects (NIMBY--Not In My Back Yard). This was adopted partly in response to projects like the Cross-Bronx Expressway that actively destroyed the local neighborhoods for the benefits of people who lived elsewhere.

Is being responsive to the people who are going to bear the brunt of your development really a sign that you don't care about your people?
China is not "smashing its tech industry". It's cracking down on private Internet companies that acquired too much power through network effects. This is completely consistent with CCP doctrine. Anything that central has to be state-owned.

Xi declared this year that while digitization is important, “we must recognize the fundamental importance of the real economy… and never deindustrialize.” Right. China, remember, has a national industrial policy. It's expressed in the national 5 year plan, which is taken seriously and used to set priorities.

What those priorities are is no secret. The current 5 year plan, the 14th, lists them.[1] Specific technology goals are in blue boxes. Semiconductors, gas turbines, biotech, new energy vehicles, robotics, advanced agricultural equipment. Internet services are mentioned in the Plan. One key line section out here: "We will strengthen the economic supervision of internet platforms in accordance with laws and regulations, clarify platform enterprise positioning and regulatory rules, improve the laws and regulations concerning the identification of monopolies, and crack down on monopolies and unfair competition. ... We will intensify anti-monopoly and anti-unfair competition law enforcement and judicial efforts and prevent the disorderly expansion of capital."

If you think this isn't to be taken seriously, go back and look at the 13th 5 year plan and check off the completed items.

Your suggestion is probably the correct solution technically speaking, as it funnels the screen reader I/O stream through browser APIs.

The immediate objection is that most popular screen readers (JAWS, NVDA) are native apps and not browser extensions, (some?) extension-based screen readers being immature. mwcampbell articulated it as much in a different post, asking for a native desktop client as opposed to a browser based client. Alas, 'native desktop client' is a different technology than Cloudflare RBI, subject to different tradeoffs, which may well be at odds with the goals of Cloudflare RBI as a product.

A hypothetical browser accessibility protocol is likely to prove insufficient, as native screen reader apps will themselves become an attack vector.

Unlocking the situation requires a wider industry buy-in beyond Cloudflare. Screen readers must be rearchitected with security in mind. IT departments must manage accessibility apps. Advocacy groups must commit to roadmaps that include a lot of change, and that may even degrade the status quo for many years to come. Given that existing screen reader apps have decades of engineering already poured in, it will be hard and expensive to enact change. A good early step could be creating an industry standard various entities can rally behind.

With all the work that's gone into Proton over the past few years, the vast majority of games Just Work and there's very well-documented tweaks for making the vast majority of the rest work as well. It's relatively rare to have a game that's completely unplayable on Linux, unless it's hampered specifically by anti-cheat software that doesn't like Linux.
This seems at least somewhat cultural. My family was big on photo albums so nearly everything had at least a cheap disposable camera picture taken. It wasn't to the extent it is now but you still got multiple pictures per year for birthdays, holidays, school awards, extracurriculars like ymca sports, etc.
WireGuard is not MFA, but the user's private key could probably be stored in a smart-card instead of on disk. Software changes would need to be made so the key is read from the card instead of specified in the wgx.conf file.

To achieve true MFA, it would need either a password, TOTP, or SMS in addition to the stored keys.
If Dollar General is not in that neighborhood that has limited choice (or DG closes down/pulls out), is that community made better or worse? I think it's made worse.
But `Maybe` is specifically designed to remove redundant checks for a value that may (or may not) be present! That's the whole point of the monad! It seems rather unfortunate this isn't highlighted (or at least illustrated) doesn't it?

Nice post, thanks. I am always astonished by the amount of detail that a backyard photographer can achieve.
