You can think of the transforms as function applications to more easily remember the order: translate rotate foo -> translate(rotate(foo)), i.e. do the rotation and then translate the result of it.

I had already decided to switch back to Linux. I was planning on continuing to use an iPhone but after the news stories of the past week I might even ditch the iPhone too.
Seems that all power plants on the list are Lignite powered - it is a special kind of coal, known for the worst co2-eco-balance.

„As a result, environmental advocates have characterized lignite as the most harmful coal to human health.“

For me, who lives in Germany and always thinks that the Germans have a good environmental awareness, it is quite remarkable that they have not yet switched off. But fortunately there are elections in September.

How to pick a good Indian Ice Cream
Simply scanning to a 2D raster image doesn't capture physical qualities of the work, like brushstrokes and how light is reflected, or effects caused by the substrate/canvas/paper.

(I'm sure there is a scanning tech that can capture most of this detail, but as far as I know its use isn't widespread in most cases of industrialized archival)
The way I see this working is by adding a second layer of machine learning to the process. The first layer would work as usual (associate words with utterance-independent meanings), but the second layer would compare those meanings with the utterance in question, shave most (or all) of them out, and either add a new meaning or reinforce an old one.

But again, I'm no programmer. I might be saying something that is already done, or unfeasible for some reason.
Interesting. In any part of the US I've lived in, and with any shipping company I've ever used, they don't do anything like that. I wish they would.

I was supposed to get a delivery today, but it requires a signature and I was in the back yard when they knocked on the door. A quick text or call would have been great. Alas.

I don't that's true at all. Studying for algorithm interviews are like memorizing integral solution formulas (if you recall from your calculus class). You have study, memorize and be ready to apply solutions. Algorithm interviews are not knowing general techniques, like for example knowing how to solve algebra equations. The reason why people have to study for algorithm interviews is because people interviewing use similar algorithm problems found in the practice sessions.
This is what everyone was complaining about over a decade ago, it's no longer true...and has actually rarely ever been true. There have only been a few cases which of course people (people that wrongly think GMOs are dangerous despite every study saying it's not) grappled onto. Unfortunately people's ignorance/stupidity on GMOs has infamously cost lives due to nutritional problems (but of course not in the West where these lies originated.)
That’s not enough, Apple is “open” to adding these APIs to 3rd party apps as of today’s news.

It was never going to stop at iCloud uploads.
A whole lot of people are going to be doing experiments like this and all of them are going to find out just how little the police care about their stolen property.

iPhone users automatically receive a push notification if an unknown Airtag has been “following” them, without its owner, for a random time between 8 and 24 hours.

Wouldn't this be a pain in the ass if you took a long flight and happened to sit near an air tag in cargo while its owner was on the other end of the plane?
You can build one. Lots of guides out there and compatibility lists for components. It’s going to be a science project though with only community support for an adversarial operating system.

The staple native grain of Europe is wheat, rice in Asia, and corn in the Americas.

At least that's the historical context. Today, the reason why America produces so much corn is because of government subsidies, and so she can always feed herself if WWIII ever breaks out and all the borders shut down (unlike many modern first world nations).

One big problem is the breadth of problems. Most people don't work with graphs, binary trees, dynamic programming, dozens of other algorithms and data structures you don't use ever daily.
That's a really interesting link, thanks. I'd not seen that. This statement:

> The service requires Apple to maintain access to your data to help you recover it. For your privacy, Apple can’t access or help you recover your end-to-end encrypted information, such as Keychain, Screen Time, and Health data.

Seems to suggest that there is no change to end-to-end encryption on iCloud.
I haven't seen anyone mentioning cargolifter [1] which was a company in Germany which tried to commercialise the development of a cargo airship (incidentally using helium). They had a lot of press coverage at the time and many shareholders were private investors. They did got bankrupt in 2002, largely because development of an aircraft is expensive and long. Maybe someone needs to excite Elon about it to get sufficient funding.

The "enterprise" programming culture which has emerged around Java doesn't impinge on all java code. But it is still a real thing. The fact that openjdk authors can rise above it and write clean, reusable Java code is obviously good. The fact that there is something that needs to be risen above is unfortunate.

I think the same about Javascript, though the specifics are different. I've been writing JS for years, but I've been moving away from it lately because increasingly I feel like an odd duck in the JS world. Most javascript programmers have much less experience (in any language) than I do. When I mention I write a lot of javascript professionally, people assume I'm an fresh faced bootcamp grad. Its sometimes hard to find high quality libraries on npm because the average quality there is reasonably low. Eg good luck finding a password generator which doesn't use Math.random(). Or finding an email parsing library which preserves the order of email headers. (This has semantic content!)

Does there exist high quality java + javascript code? Sure. But even macdonalds makes good food sometimes. That isn't enough to make me a regular customer.

Sometimes the right call is to fight for the ecosystem you're a part of and help it improve. I've done a lot of that. But you don't have to fight for high quality software if you just go where the high quality software is being made. Its easier to switch languages than change a culture.

... I'm being a bit sloppy and judgemental here. Maybe it would be better to say, each ecosystem has a set of values. Javascript values programming velocity, accessibility to new programmers and simplicity. Java has a different list. Insomuch as you're living inside an ecosystem, you don't get to simply ignore and dismiss those influences when you don't like them. It sucks writing Go if you hate gofmt. It sucks writing rust if you don't even want the borrow checker. And it sucks writing Java if you hate dealing with AbstractIteratorFactoryImpl. Even if there's some redeeming code in openjdk.
No, that's the point of C++. If you want a language that doesn't do zero cost abstractions, there are plenty to chose from. If you want a language a step above C that gives you fine-grained control over exactly what code is generated and memory allocated than you have very few choices.

You're basically just arguing that C++ shouldn't be C++ (and Rust shouldn't be Rust). We already have plenty of languages that provide high-level "costly" abstractions. The reason we need C/C++/Rust is for that zero-cost aspect.

Historically, there were much fewer choices for languages and arguably C++ has been used for building applications that didn't need zero-cost features. But now we have plenty of alternatives and C++ still exists for that valuable niche that it provides. This is the reason Rust was created -- to provide this level of control without the baggage of C++.

Pretty frustrating that they compare cobalt and rare earth to sustainability concerns for biomass and fossil fuels. Neither are required. To use Tesla as an example (because that's what the article used): Tesla's Model Ses originally had no rare earth magnets whatsoever in their motors, being induction motors, and Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries, used for most of Tesla's cars in China (where that chemistry is more common), use zero Cobalt. Plus in both cases, the substances aren't used up and destroyed as in fossil fuels but reused again and again, hundreds or thousands of times (and at end of life can be recycled), making the problem literally orders of magnitude less dramatic than with fossil fuels.

It's really frustrating that it's so common to try to shoe-horn electric cars into the old narrative, but it's just a completely different story as fossil fuels. That isn't to say you CAN'T have problems with ethical mining, or ethical anything, but it just is not anything at all like the problems associated with fossil fuels. It doesn't make sense to collapse a complete different set of issues into the existing narrative, and to do it to generate clicks is reprehensible. You would think, with a title like "lost history of the electric car," they would do a small amount of research around lithium ion chemistry and rare earth metals and actually inform the viewer instead of repeating tired misconceptions that the semi-informed have.
Maybe they just think the situation is a bit more nuanced than how you presented it.

Also, last pandemic that killed millions was a flu... Just sayin. Guess I was too optimistic about how far this one would spread.

And yes it was confirmed that I had it (antibody test when things died down a lil). Since then many people who I know got Covid, they all had less symptoms than I did. I also had to quarantine a bunch of times for having contact with them (never got sick again though). Was an interesting year.

Yes, my thoughts follow a web pattern, not only a chain! There are chains of thought, but they jump all over the place, even in loops. And it all ends in philosophy [0].

Hyperlinks on the web are one-directional. But links are much stronger if they're bidirectional. That's possible using backlinks, or in real life, by saying "thank you".

Thank you planet-and-halo for reminding us of the web analogy. Thank you zR0x for relating the abstract maths to tangible reality. Thank you tarxzvf for suggesting that everything is pattern matching (I agree, matter & energy are finite, it's only the connections between them that we can create).

I believe that these connections hold true for dad jokes, social situations, software, maths, physics, chemistry, biology... every created thing. Let's thank our creator, and all the teachers who helped us grow.

I'm probably preaching to the choir, but when people run out of space (real or percieved), they sort by size to figure out what app to remove. Even if the user does cycle through many apps because they can't fit all the ones they want at the same time (and many do), there's always a chance that they don't come back. And, if they do come back, verification is a cost center. Either directly, through SMS or voice costs, or indirectly, through support needs as people invariably forget their password, or their email address, or their username or even their phone number.

But hey, if the big names don't want to deal with it, more room for smaller teams.
Per capita stats are kind of misleading though because China is still an impoverished nation in many parts that can't emit much but still have a massive population. If you just focused on the per capita of the cities (actual developed areas) vs per capita of cities in the US, Europe etc, the story would flip on its head and revert back to it simply being the biggest polluter.
It's really hard to follow your logic, especially your version of the 'facts'.
The Myceneans are proven to be Greek beyond doubt, and their writing system Linear B is Greek- is a settled among scholars.

Does anyone else remember when it was possible to extract snapchat messages that haven't been viewed yet because they had some ridiculously easy to find encryption key, hardcoded in the app? It was found running 'strings' and trying each one for the key and boom, one little script and you could just do this really easy for a long time even after knowledge of how to do it had been made public. This was so long ago, not sure what they did to change this at all -- No surprise at all they don't random-out the files here.

I’m probably being misleading since it’s not my field, but a quick Google suggests that the forest has changed over the past few thousand years - I didn’t mean to suggest that the forest wouldn’t be there without us, but that the ecosystem is richer and more complex because of our interference.

Just one source that talks about the changes over the past couple thousand years:

"These indigenous systems were highly sophisticated...There are over 80 domesticated or semi-domesticated crops in the Amazon," he said. "In Europe at the time they were working with about six."

So if you want to stalk someone, just make sure they run Android?
running it virtually is also an option. I run macos in virtualbox for the times I need it (for me that's not daily) and have no issues with it
(this is also not my field) I was thinking about this a little more:

In some cases (such as your excellent wug example) it might be possible to heuristically associate the word "wug" to a probable contextual meaning "your cat" from a shortlist of candidate objects ("you (conversing)", "me (also conversing)", "cat", "bed") without understanding that cats are things that sleep on beds, and some kind of educated guess that "that wug" doesn't refer to the speaker themselves!

In other cases, figuring this out might require a fair bit of side knowledge about the meanings of what is being discussed, and how they relate to each other, to almost logically deduce what entity is being labelled, given knowledge of how those entities work. That might be dramatically harder to get get a machine to do well. Perhaps a machine being able to to this would be a leap forward in machine intelligence from today's ML "stochastic parrots".
I know what you meant. You are mistaken. Look at the 180 degree data on the polars for AC72 or Bank Populaire. They're more efficient at a broad reach, but they can do it a few knots faster than the wind.
"Top 5% of <category> accounts for ~75% of global <category> emissions" is a template that can likely be used for far too many categories.
The missing punchline: "And, if those lousy, infuriating Microsoft cars cost only $25, most of us would buy them"
"If one times one equals one that means that two is of no value because one times itself has no effect. One times one equals two because the square root of four is two, so what's the square root of two? Should be one, but we're told it's two, and that cannot be."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrence_Howard

I hope nobody here is taking him seriously. I'm pretty sure nobody anywhere in the real world is taught that the square root of 2 is 2 just because the square root of 1 is 1. Scaling just isn't mysterious, and I doubt it ever was.

No wonder Joy changed the subject to something a little easier and completely unrelated.

This is just frustratingly stupid.
Another way to say this is that inverse-square applies exactly on any exactly radial path. But, close to the beam, even an unnoticeably oblique path may yield radically different results. In real life, you rarely get exactness, so in such a circumstance you should be prepared to find intensity varying along a very different curve.
I don't necessarily disagree but do you believe most people grow up in a dysfunctional family as outlined in the linked article as you stated?

Like having at least one parent with some issue that leaves the child with trauma? This is most people's experience?
I'm a pretty big Apple fan. But I think this is the end. There's no way you can bob and weave around the fact this makes your property there's. You're insane or Gruber if you think that's okay.
That's true of all words, so why not just stop talking. No, because there is an average meaning which most people will agree with, something to do with making decisions that effect groups of people. See a dictionary or an encyclopedia.

Sounds like the police were not aware of the tech in use and figured it was a lost cause like most theft.
Thieves who steal high-value vehicles have methods to prevent these things from happening.

But for the ordinary car theft, it does sound like a nice idea.

Though you'd have to buy into the Apple ecosystem and the anti-follow feature could be triggered when you don't want it to.
What to make of this whole thing? Hard to say. But here’s an amusing thought.

Before I start: I’ll invoke dang’s rage for a moment and say this is yet another burner account due to my previous ones being flagged/banned - not for anything actually illegal or low brow or whatever, but for going against the orthodoxy. Trite and cliche statement, yes.

This whole thing is yet another nail in the coffin. Maybe Apple will back out, maybe not, but really it doesn’t matter. Could be any other company, I don’t particularly care.

What does matter is how HN treats its members and how moderator(s) handle things when we bring these possibilities up. This is where I think the ball has been dropped. You can also substitute HN for other technophile forums, again, doesn’t matter.

You need to learn that shunning us when we are telling you what’s going to happen isn’t the way to go about this. You deplatform us on these topics because you think you know better and we are the trolls and conspiracy theorists with our unsubstantiated claims, lack of evidence, data, and so on. To us, you can’t see the forest for the trees nor the train wreck approaching. I think most of us just stopped caring.

You can say every so often that a broken clock is right twice a day. But I am pretty sure both Assange and Snowden shake their heads at such a statement here and wonder if it’s true naïveté or if you’re trying to guile others.

But, for the time being you can believe what the news and Snopes say and continue to shitpost HN. Eventually it’ll be you on the chopping block.
If you can move your code and spread it around it is Modular by definition. This is never a bad thing from a design perspective. It is only a bad thing from a complexity and readability perspective.

More likely you think it's a bad thing because your code isn't actually modular. Likely you need one piece of logic but that logic isn't modular so to move it to another location you need to drag a bunch of extra baggage around with it. You wanted a banana but instead you got the gorilla holding the banana and the entire jungle. Sound familiar?

The smallest primitive that is modular is a pure immutable function. If the modules you are moving around are not pure functions then likely your code isn't actually modular.
An opt-in for masks is entirely useless. It's the unwary promiscuous people who don't wear masks and get everyone else sick.

The entire point of proton is gaming on linux. By nature arch linux will be the best supported platform for it now, which is a disservice to those that use the most popular distro's of debian/ubuntu.
