Out of all the things mentioned in the article, it doesn’t mention tables which to me are one of the unsung heroes of all good GUI frameworks. They are so deceptively simple looking and yet, once you peek under the hood, the amount of complexity is daunting. E.G. do you allow all widget types to be in table cells? What happens when there are more items than can be displayed? Now you need scroll bars. What happens when a table is resized? It goes on and on and most solutions have negative consequences for a given use case, but to make it meet all the use cases, one ends up with such a complex set up that nobody wants to use it.
Yes, with special Electron shenanigans that still work in a normal browser well I suppose. The web UI has a few features that make it more device agnostic too (e.g. a hamburger menu to replace the File menu. Yes, you can run Codespaces on an iPad.)

Code server (https://github.com/cdr/code-server) works in a similar way using your own PC as a host, but for whatever reason Codespaces is more performant.
Obviously people are not rushing to pay double for USA made shows, so it seems like a fitting example.

Almost everyone does not care about the sellers costs (COGS). They only care or they can get what they want at a lower price from another seller.
Isn’t VS Code Electron based? Same diff at that point
Storage engine APIs, filesystem APIs, etc. are all closely coupled places unless they've been designed with disregard to performance.

Plan 9 had a beautiful and simple API for a network filesystem but real filesystem APIs (like FUSE) are complicated as hell because memory allocation matters.

Similar things turn up with storage engines. If performance, reliability and other "non-functional requirements" aren't addressed you can make something simple, but ignoring those things makes your system likely to be "non-functional" in the end.
What makes it ripe for disruption? My understanding is that the most effective response to wildfires is simply to not build flammable structures too close to forests.
Here's a discussion of heat index and wet-bulb temps, with records from around the world.

https://www.wunderground.com/blog/weatherhistorian/record-de...

The most dangerous / frequent occurrences seem to be measured in the middle east near shallow gulf coasts. Appleton Wisconsin holds the continental US record, apparently?

This is from 2011.

This looks more updated: https://www.weather.gov/jetstream/hi

and says:

> The highest dew points, and therefore the highest heat indices are usually found near warm bodies of water.

> In the world, the warmest water is found in the Persian Gulf where the water temperature typically reaches up to 90°F (32°C) in summer. Therefore dew points will be that high as well.

> The highest dew point ever recorded, 95°F (35°C), was recorded at Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, on July 8, 2003. With an air temperature of 108°F (42°C) the heat index was 178°F (81°C).

> In the United States, the highest dew point ever recorded, 90°F (32°C), was recorded at the New Orleans Naval Air Station, on July 30, 1987, Melbourne, Florida on July 12, 1987. Heat indices were in the 130's°F (50's°C).

> Appleton, Wisconsin also had a 90°F (32°C) dew point on July 13, 1995 with a heat index of 149°F (65°C)."

So, it happened once, in Saudi Arabia?
> politics, social progression, etc

Yes, European Countries, except some ex-soviet countries are better than Usa (excluded California or New York probably) on social matters aside maybe personal opportunities due to a Left-Conservatory enviroments
Then you make a new contention that you want more money past a "fair share" because you have the policy goal. Fairness has not its definition set by government budget needs. What mean you here with "solidarity"? What has this to do with "civility" or its lacking?
I'd not bat an eye at someone saying this. Some of the most productive engineers I've worked with weren't pulling 50+ hour weeks.
That photo shows a transmission line (230 kV according to OpenInfraMap[1]). The line that started the fire was a 12kV distribution line[2].

I think this is one of the poles on this distribution line:

https://www.google.com/maps/place/39%C2%B052'31.2%22N+121%C2...

The fire was started somewhere uphill from that pole.

Fires start for a variety of reasons in CA.

- Manure pile fires

- Garbage trucks unloading smoldering debris

- Lightning strikes

- Off-road motor vehicles and equipment

- Gender reveals gone wrong

- Improper camp fires

- Failing electrical infrastructure

- Arson

I don’t know why of all the possible causes we’d jump to arson.
If this happens to me, I'm cancelling my Netflix and ramping my Plex server up even more. I pay for Netflix for ease of use, but the harder they make it, the more people will revert to piracy.
I think it's more than that. If the Russian army gets a bunch of casualties, eventually the Russian population gets unhappy and starts questioning the leadership. (This happened in Afghanistan, for instance.) But if Wagner does it, then the Russian government doesn't have to take the heat for the number of Russians dead.
...that might not be the best metric, I bet there are fewer super small apartments to be had on the UWS! I know the village has a fair number of places that were built before current laws about minimum square feet per apartment.

I don't know what the right metric would be—maybe median rent or even family income? I guess I also don't really think you can tell much from all this.)
I think terminal editors are supported by allowing an SSH tunnel, and both Sublime and the IntelliJ suite have plugins to allow you to use them against remote systems over ssh

> Historical newspapers are one of the largest corpora of information that has yet to be adequately brought on line.

Not just information, but works of art as well!

A few years ago, I trained an image classifier to help me find Krazy Kat comics in newspaper archives. In the process of doing that, I came across a shocking amount of other comics and artwork. I was honestly surprised to see how many amazing illustrations and comics are just sitting in newspaper archives, waiting to be rediscovered.
What happens if you add another level of meta to it, and the object of the game is to avoid complete randomness/undecidability but also for the game to go on for as many iterations, ideally with the lowest amount of mistakes(/entropy?) and defections/cheats.

i.e stuff is happening, there's a lot of predictability but no easily determinable stabilisation endpoint?
I guess that's where we differ. I want the personal relationship details too. I want it all because, in the end, it's all I have that's mine.

CDMA needs precise sync for soft-handoff, but that's tangential to the rest. SONET explains it better, but even SONET is decades newer than the original requirements.

The T1 was introduced in 1962, having been developed in the 50s. T1 is self-clocking, in that the receiver recovers sync from the line (and there are mechanisms to guarantee enough ones-density to keep the clock recovery circuit working), so a point-to-point T1 circuit with analog on either end has no need for external timing -- one end can just free-run and the whole thing is fine.

But when you start connecting T1 (DS1)s together, moving DS0 signals between them ("time-slot interchange"), or bundling them into higher-rate signals (DS3/T3 and then up into SONET), it's utter chaos unless they're all synchronized.

There's considerable detail in the BSTJ archives, I could dig up some links later.
The article specifically says that they support their vim and emacs users by allowing them to SSH in edit code.
I’m no crypto fanatic or crypto hater, but I always found this “backed by real assets” besides the point and often dogmatic. To what extent is fiat or stock “backed by a real world asset”? What about collectibles or startup options? What about a tech company with nothing but a website and employees?

I don’t think you actually care if something is “backed by real world assets”, you’re concerned with downside risk. What is the likelihood bitcoin goes to zero within a decade? What level could it go to? It’s “fundamentals” are at least its level of intrigue with the population (much like Instagrams only fundamentals are its attention of the population).

Stock is backed by a company, fiat is backed by the govt, Instagram is backed by the attention it receives, Bitcoin as well. This is more a spectrum than a binary, and Bitcoin doesn’t seem that far off from most tech companies who’s only “real asset” is attention.
I'm happy to keep up-to-date with 1Password and, for the little improvements they bring, I buy new versions when they come out—but am I right in thinking that they're getting rid of standalone vaults in this latest one? If true, that's disappointing.

From using the Early Access version, is anyone able to confirm this? I remember there being some brouhaha when version 7 was rumoured to be dropping them, and that turned out not to be true.

Ok, skimming the thread on their forum about a possible self-hosted option seems to confirm it. I don't want that fuss. I just want to be able to open my vaults. Syncing with iCloud never was a problem, so their vault-hosting service never made sense, in my case.

My prior with respect to the ability for ethereum to deliver "the merge" to switch to proof of stake was recently reevaluated dramatically upward, after the recent London hard fork went through without a hitch. I was following it for awhile and there is (in my view) really no way to look at it except as an example of an extremely well run very large update to an enormous and complex system. The communication was good, the cadence of test rollouts was good, the testing setup with multiple testnets was good, the upgrade itself was a total non-event, which is honestly unbelievable to me, as someone who has worked on upgrading complex (but significantly less so) systems.

I still have a lot of questions about ethereum as a project (like: what are blockchains actually good for?), but this software project management stuff is way down the list of concerns for me. I certainly don't understand why people care about arbitrary deadlines and timelines. One advantage of open and permissionlessly developed software like this is not being beholden to a boss breathing down your neck about deadlines and timelines. Just build the software, it will be done when it's done.
It's good to approach the topic in terms of solution-thinking, but it more or less looks like a lot of the problems involved are political:

For the executive summary, look here:

California is big, the state itself controls a fraction of land, so there's a coordination problem with private and federal parties. Prescribed burns can actually be a tough sell. Resources are an issue in every corner. Known positive policies don't proceed apace because these are unsolved political problems.
iow employ the Two-and-Done rule for tactical decisions - how can you possibly know you are right if you aren't in a role where you see the whole picture?

And in those situations this rule doesn't apply.
Me either, alas
The forests will die without intervention. Unless you want California to become 100% desert lands.

Sequoias on the Western Sierra slopes are the last in the world. And from the looks of it they don't have much time. Would you like us to clear the 3000 year old trees too?

Temps are rising. We are engineers who talk of terraforming mars.

Why can we not talk of doing the same thing in our own back yard?
GitHub isn't forcing anybody to use a web IDE. The most broadly used access interface is VSCode. Then there are heretics like me who choose to ssh in so we can use Vim. This is described in the article.
For the HOL family (HOL-light, HOL4, Isabelle/HOL) at least, there is such a VM: OpenTheory (http://opentheory.gilith.com/). It's a stack machine with a very simple input format (line based).
The article says they support web based development, or ssh'ing into the codespaces machine.

There are other IDEs besides VS Code and shell based ones.
To be clear though, I didn't write the post; I just spotted it and submitted it.
The results I clicked on suggested that a solar PV system and an electric fan to do the same task make a bit more sense these days.

I think there's a few things like this where PV powered tech is probably the better option particularly as you can have one or the other running as necessary.

Warm dark night: pump the hot air out with mains electricity. Cold, windy, sunny day: turn the fan off and use the electricity for something else.
I agree. Burying existing lines at $2M per mile seems like outdated thinking now that $2M buys you around 3MW of solar. Or, around 6MWh of battery storage if the Tesla Megapack is to be believed. Plus, this is capacity that doesn't require nearly as much maintenance.

Just thinking out loud, but I wonder the best answer isn't just to forget about these older transmission lines altogether. Build smaller mini-grids and use the existing hydro infrastructure for on-site carbon capture.
Like, Vim and Emacs keybindings? Or real Vim and Emacs? It's quite different xD
I don't think many people are going to downvote you just because you admit to being Russian. If you start parroting the Russian line, then... yeah, expect people to downvote you.
Are cloth masks any good? CDC says yes. BMJ says maybe, if you get the right masks. France says no and you should be wearing medical masks. DANMASK-19 says less than 50% effective and no significant difference in infections among populations who wear and don't wear masks. Who's a fellow to believe?

How does setting up a desktop IDE work?
I would be happy to let go of an employee who bank their employment on the preference of toolings.

Hear me out:

Toolings are, like the name suggests, a means to an end. If a web IDE is fast, works reasonably, and can continue improve itself. And the learning curve is friendly to engineers with different background and experience. Everyone should be comfortable to be nudged to use it. And if the tool additionally is a critical product of the organization, everyone should be comfortable to be mandated to use it, because it's now a very valuable source of dogfooding.
Maybe I'm misinterpreting your question, but my understanding is that funding carbon emission-reducing projects is one of the ways carbon offsets typically work.

From https://science.howstuffworks.com/environmental/green-scienc... :

> When you buy an offset, you fund projects that reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Edit: maybe you meant "how is it reducing carbon in the atmosphere today?" whereas I meant reducing total emissions over a period of time that extends into the future. A sibling comment brought this up as well.
I see the advantages with this, but this would be pretty annoying on a slow or choppy internet connection. I highly value being able to develop software with little or no internet.
Why would there be any 68k assembly floating around in this domain?
Even the pores in an N95 mask are not small enough to prevent viral transmission, so the actual science says your magic mask talisman is voodoo bullshit.

Does Bitwarden's desktop application use Electron?

Edit:
Okay, it sounds like from the comments, it does use Electron. Then my followup question is, if people are upset with 1Password moving in this direction, then Bitwarden would not be a good alternative, no?
Good luck using it for anything GUI related that isn't a Web browser.

> I think the general aversion to OSS is more that there is no responsible actor.

I have filed many bug reports for paid software over the years. The bugs were fixed exactly 0% of the time. If they ever gave a reason, it was along the lines of "you are a special snowflake, nobody else has had that problem, so it isn't worth fixing".

Eventually, I just stopped filing bug reports.

Things aren't better with OSS, either, though I resent went bugs get closed because they're old.

Our policy with D is we never close bugs, no matter how old they are, unless we fix them or no longer have users for it (like D version 1).
Currently, VS Code is the primary method of connection to each Codespace, and we do not support other editors officially.

If you’re looking to connect via SSH, we do have a workaround here: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-dev-containers/blob/main... -- and I use this regularly for Jupyter Notebooks.

I would agree that the Phillipines are under-supplied according to OECD ratios but again, I don't think the problem is emigration.

Personally I think your mental model of these countries is out-of-date. They are sophisticated and industrialised but do have high inequality and some governance problems. As usual, it's a distribution problem. I think you are under-estimating their capacity and they are not at all lacking in talent, education or human resources. Australia is lucky to get skilled migrants but is by no means "draining" them. I think I'd want to see a more quantitative argument before I was willing to accept that.
Yeah, I think you're on the right track. I like less and less having a Linux box to maintain, and there is less control over the timing of internal operations compared to a microcontroller, of course. On the other hand, Chrony is really, really good, and it would be a lot of code and debugging to write something that good from scratch.

With the Beaglebone, it's theoretically possible to drive the oscillator from a calibrated clock source (use the PPS pulse to discipline an oscillator). I was too lazy to build such a circuit and observe the effects. Some uBlox timing GPSes let you output a suitable signal (you can adjust the frequency in software), but the adjustability range when I last checked wasn't enough to make it work for the Beaglebone. Once you have the MCU running at a well-defined and stable frequency, I think it's possible to give Linux extremely accurate data, or at least know which clock cycle was the start of a second. I don't actually know how much any of this will help, and it's honestly not within my capability to measure.

For me, the outcome of my GPS clock project is that I never have to set my clock, and it looks really good. Running "chronyc sources" is always pleasurable as well, but I probably wouldn't notice a clock that's 20ms off unless I was comparing it against WWVB or something.
They let you ssh in. So you can run vim/emacs on the machine if you want.
The two approaches are not mutually exclusive.

Yes to better forest management. Of course we have to do that.

A house may be "a machine for living in" but the scale of the solutions needed aren't as serious as industrial processes like mining surely? I haven't lived in a structure using them, but there are Phase Change[1] insulations out there, for example.

A lot of your argument seems to be based on the assumption that I've been on the platform for a long time.

I joined last month.

Specifically, over a year after the article cited by the parent comment was written.

That's my point here: I don't know if their algorithms were bad in the past, they are not bad now in the way the parent comment claimed then to be.

As for the rest of your comment, you seem to miss that we're already out of sight away from TikTok, so your doomsday scenario is my yesterday. And we are so isolated that a walled garden is a huge improvement over solitude.

There's tremendous value in creating safe spaces for people to connect with people who understand each other better. HackerNews is such space for tech.

The incredible thing about TikTok is the the algorithm can connect you to the right people even if you're not consciously aware of belonging to the group.

As in "Wait, I didn't know that I'd be into programming so much until I found out what it actually is after watching all these videos, and now that I know, I enjoy interacting with software developers tremendously".

And, as I pointed out, we already have other platforms to speak out to the world (which, consistently, chooses not to listen).

What TikTok does is an unparalleled reach to speak to each other.

It's peer-to-peer way more than you'd think looking from the outside in.
Copenhagen has DTU and a small number of companies that hire from it. It also feeds some of the hiring in Malmö.
Sounds like netflix is in a bind here. They are only licensed to show content in specific regions, and there are no doubt penalties by the actual copyright holders of they go outside those bounds. If they piss off their customers, though, they lose money.

They must be buying a database of IP address locations and VPN addresses from somebody. I doubt they are putting that together themselves.
We have that one at Amazon. It took me quite awhile to realize that it meant in the "two and done" sense used in the article, and not the "I will literally die on this hill" sense. Younger me burned a lot of political capital fighting tooth and nail to change the course of a machine which had its tracks laid out by management with motivations separate from my own.
