In Antiquity the planets were believed to move around the Earth, not the Sun, so they estimated the distances from the planets to the Earth.

While there was no way to estimate a numeric distance, they have correctly estimated which planets are closer and which are more distant, based on their angular speed on the sky.

So it was always correctly believed that Saturn is the farthest from the Earth, because it has the slowest angular speed, followed by Jupiter, then by Mars.

It was believed that there are 7 special celestial bodies, adding the Sun and the Moon.

However I am not aware of any association between Saturn and the number 6.

Saturn and Jupiter became associated with black lead (i.e. lead) and white lead (i.e. tin), because Saturn is less bright and it moves slower on the sky than Jupiter, like the lead is less bright and also heavier than the tin.
The term "smart" is very subjective.

Many people with PhDs are rather forthcoming about all the things they don't know. Being able to learn complex stuff might be seen as being smart, but what use is it if you can't apply it to practical ends?

Being "smart" is very contextual. So if you are smart when it comes to computers, can you fix a blocked drain? or tune a quad carbie set-up on a big V8? or even build a shed in the backyard?
Not discrediting, but can someone else working there confirm the things written here?
Re force multipliers, I think you could do much worse than an HTTP proxy! Many package managers support folks behind corporate firewalls, and you can then support any thing that fetches code from anywhere else. Give it a specific Node.js version and a proxy, run npm install, log all the network requests into a nix file. Biggest issue is TLS probably.
I didn't have to ever.

There's nothing important in it. In fact you could say it's got 4K pages to discourage scrutiny.

The science is faulty anyway - I don't mean the models (which are probably wrong), but the premise about the ability to cost-effectively control climate which makes the rest of the content pointless.

Multiple other, even white, employees called out this same SVP. Your usage of the phrase "Not being racially sensitive enough" strikes me as a bizarre euphemism for "racism", which it would appear you don't see as an issue.

The field of AI Ethics is an amalgam of computer science and moral philosophy. What do you think value judgements are?

Theater, like security theater, is implementing something that doesn't work but doing it anyway for appearances. Masks work as you say. The fact that people don't want to wear them not is not hygiene theater, it's non-compliance.

More to your point, of course the mask ban had little effect in FL when it's on-again-off-again and challenged in courts. The situation is changing and confusing, so people will do what they want. The bigger factor is that covid is currently decreasing everywhere in the US as it has with previous waves.

Children in schools has never been a outsized contributor to covid numbers so school starting shouldn't be expected to have a major impact. (Children are getting covid in greater percentages because they are yet to be vaccinated.)

I've been writing a big React app for about a year, it runs really well on mobile too, but it is a bit hamstrung by iOS safari due to some errant touch interactions I've not been able to turn off despite much trying: double tapping, pinching in certain random areas can lead to zooming, and there is no good way for the user to undo it.

I'm going to agree that the reason is Apple.

Isn't this obvious - the web is deliberately crippled on mobile platforms like iOS.

Yes I totally agree with you. I did not write it in that POV where you work or do hobby coding.

I saw that some comments here has mentioned it as something of a hobby coding pov.

If you find working on selling ads interesting then that’s what you should do. Buy doing that you will create something innovative, and new.

But don’t learn cool tech just because it’s cool. Do it because you want to solve a problem.
Been using xanmod kernels for a long time for gui performance increase. Now Windows 11 is using advanced scheduler for the desktop so it always feel snappy when bogged down.

Kinda like how the new arm macs, people just says it feels faster in the desktop.

Well that's true. I do think there's some value to the fact that if you call a JavaScript function you are guaranteed that no I/O has been executed (provided no on is using the old sync API's) before the function returned. I lean on this property often, and I don't know any other language besides Haskell that has this property.

I do agree that Haskell is even stronger because it doesn't just guarantee the I/O has not yet been executed yet, it also reveals the intent of I/O through the use of the I/O monad.

PipeWire: A server for Linux audio and video streams
I created /r/teamdo to enable something like this in general as I felt there is nothing existing. Perhaps there is but I am not aware. Unfortunately just creating a subreddit is not enough, there is hardly any traction.
This resonate me, but also it's impractical to expect something achievable with tech to never happens as long as humanity exists. It's not even about who invent it.
The only solution is new tech to counter... new tech, it's no way back, I believe.
The old Oyster cards were really fast. But they had a security flaw, so they had to be replaced with newer ones that are slower to use :-( Both are still faster than a credit card.
Thank god it’s not “otherwise” or “alternatively”.
Same and I'm running on a Pi2. It's been running flawlessly for 5-6 years at this point. I always cringe whenever I see just how unbelievably and unbearably slow some built in TV "smart" stuff is. It's especially unbelievable because my setup cost around £30 to "upgrade" my dumb TV (in fact, the Pi was just lying around surplus to requirement so basically free).

I have tried Plex and currently have Jellyfin set up. Plex I removed immediately due to "cloud" login (yes I know you can disable it, I did by removing it). Jellyfin is useful but I still find myself using Kodi directly as it just works.

I am not sure in what world. 90% of the applications I use are native desktop apps. Look ma, no web.
Depends how much one values having something that matches .NET productivity and actually compiles to optimized native code ahead of time, with 25 years experience in production, instead of the jokes that NGEN and .NET Native have been.

Maybe .NET 7 (still one year away) might finally catch up with Delphi.

Or that after 25 years, there is still no C++ tooling that matches C++ Builder, Qt kind of comes close, but still misses the whole experience.

Microsoft for a couple of years seemed to finally understood it when they released C++/CX, but politics killed the project.

Lots of battery-powered gadgets cannot run off the charger alone, because they rely on the battery as a massive capacitor to handle transient current spikes that are beyond the capacity of any cheap, compact charger.

But that's entirely different from replacing the battery itself with an expensive bench power supply. That can definitely work, especially if it's a high-end source/measure unit capable of being programmed to emulate the discharge curve of a real battery.

This is what makes the thirteen words such effective radicalizing propaganda in the current moment. Neither articulation is reasonable, both are vaguely supremacist and overtly racialist.
A custom language for the 6502 reminds me of the Action! language for the Atari computers. Wikipedia describes it as an ALGOL like language that included an editor, compiler, monitor, and runtime on a bank switching 16k cartridge. It was open sourced in 2015.
I just watched the associated video and had a "holy shit" moment at the mention of "else" as archaic English—I've been so immersed in programming for so long that I'd forgotten how uncommon and old-sounding else is, if I try to use it in common English outside a few set phrases, mostly in question form (e.g. "what else?", "how else?"). "Otherwise" and a bunch of other words suggest themselves as more obvious for this case, looking at it from that perspective.

[EDIT]

http://www.websters1913.com/words/Else

The closest to how it appears in programming is "adv. & conj." sense 2, which is pretty clearly archaic-sounding. The example given is: "For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it." which seems pretty representative to me. But more directly relevant to its use in programming languages, perhaps, it gets the manicule-denoted aside (not sure how the manicure will come across on HN):

After ‘or', else is sometimes used expletively, as simply noting an alternative. "Will you give thanks, . . . or else shall I?" Shak.

We use it "expletively"! How wonderful. Though we drop the "or", if we take it that way.

Sense 1 is adjacent, but less closely-related to the programming use (as is clear in the examples): "1. Besides; except that mentioned; in addition; as, nowhere else; no one else."

"a. & pron" definition remains modern-sounding, and is what I mentioned above the edit as the ways in which it commonly occurs in modern language.

Overall, I'd say the "it was an awkward translation from German" hypothesis is pretty reasonable.
Also as someone who photographed his whole live and worked as a DOP on film sets: even if you were a master at painting off a camera obscura what makes pictures work is not in the fingers, it is in the eyes that place that camaera obscura, that interpret the resulting composition etc.

A camera obscura might help to give you physically accurate angles and contrasts, but nobody will tell you which camera positions, angles, focal lengths, light situations and motifs will produce a stunning image.

It is a old hat I know, but try giving a shitty camera to a professional and a professional camera to an amateuer and the professional will still get you the better pictures. This is because a professional has a image in their head and knows how to get there with thw tools available while the amateur either has no image in their head (in which case the result will be a bit arbitrary) or they don't know how to get there (in which case it will look like a budget version of some other popular thing).

There are of course truly amazing amateuers that developed their own unique style and technique and I love that — but they wouldn't aim to be masters at what they are doing.

Haskell has “otherwise” as a built in constant that equals true. It reads better in some cases.

It's just below the danger threshold that would disqualify it for use as a political weapon.

2000 jumbo jets full of dead USians (and counting!) is below that threshold, which is sort of amazing to believe.

Human life is cheap to partisans there, apparently.
Carplay tries to be too safe by not allowing anything while driving. Instead this leads you into spending more attention on the screen - searching for buttons you thought should exist but simply don't.

”This time last year, my grandmother, who was a former teacher at the Rutherford County school system died of COVID because someone wasn't wearing a mask,"

That’s a bold claim that I doubt he can prove. Masks reduce but don’t eliminate transmission. His grandmother likely would have died anyways.

Yes I read, I wanted to say that anyway pasta is quite cheap, so you can’t feel the difference like on the petrol/diesel price in example.

We already have a lot of prices increase from coffee (from 0,9€ to 1,2€) to a glass of wine (from 1€ to 1,20/30€), and a lot of other Italian typical foods that are hurting us.

Anyway the price of pasta can be already different in Italy, south is cheaper. I hope this would not coming in winter or starting in 2022, but we’ll see what will happen.

(Fortunately we don’t eat pasta at Christmas dinner =] )
Oh, I thought the general definition of ECS is just about how to organize stuff. Or is that EC?
The forecast that worked best for me (at least in summer in Europe) was local sailplane text forecast from the respective national service. It was an interpretation of the model by a very experienced human with a big picture introduction ("this front" or that "high pressure area") and also expressed uncertainties. They are sometimes behind soft paywalls, though (need to register, but its free. There are some weird rules of the EU about some weather data - cannot be freely available. I don't get it)
It's worth noting that their search and other services rely on something similar:

From the source: https://www.greenpeace.org/usa/sustainable-agriculture/issue...

A summary of their concerns would be:

* GMO tend to be “pesticide resistant” (eg roundup-ready) and more pesticide is bad for humans and the environment

* GMO has not been proven to be safe for human consumption

* GMO turns agriculture into IP which threatens the sovereignty of farmers

So yes, the IP concern is a big one for anti-GM campaigners, but I’d not say it’s the primary one.

(As an aside, I think the pesticide concerns are quite strong, but not all GM crops encourage pesticide use, so I’d rather restrict pesticides than GM. I don’t find the human safety concerns convincing. And the IP concerns are quite compelling to me, but again I think these could be better fixed elsewhere in the system, for example by state funded GM research or IP law reform, rather than banning GMOs.)
The standard exists for this - it's called "Model 3" and is an implementation of Account Based Ticketing.

Essentially your card becomes a reference to an online account. When you tap your EMV card, it uses it as a reference to find your online account and see if you have any travel passes associated with it.

There is talk of introducing it on the London Underground. The system already allows customers to associate a card with an account online to track their journey history. But nothing seems to have moved on much in the last few years.
Pi2 has hardware h.264 decoding. I know about the h.265 thing because of my own effort at using one as a Kodi box, which hit a wall when several videos were unwatchable (turned out, because they were h.265).

h.265 provides identical quality at smaller file size—much, much smaller file size, for some content (animation) but it's still a fair improvement for most other cases.

Every single person who has ever claimed Linux runs flawlessly on a piece of hardware has had some flaws. I include myself here - I once bought a laptop with entirely OSS mainline kernel supported hardware and compositing didn’t work on external displays.

"season tickets" exist and work well for tourist. Cards that allow unlimited travel for a few days.

I'm not a fan of offering discounts to random sections of the population, but that's the same use-case as season tickets.

Maybe I should have used the term "travel card" rather than season ticket.
I thing one main missed point here is that the web-as-app shift on desktop happened before computers were super-mainstream and daily-used. It happened when most of its users were fine with new techniques to get stuff done.

But as far as I know an x1 link works fine with real devices, and very much should work fine with real devices. And at the same time, to slow down a normal connection to less than an x1 link you'd need something like a very broken cable that just barely doesn't lose everything, and also doesn't get rejected by the system. So I still doubt physical level errors are the cause of weird flakiness except in very rare cases.
