I was hiking once in my home rural area after they "terraformed" a highway through the mountains. The main thought in my mind was - it will never be quiet here again.
Other than the canonical "Do I bring an umbrella?" we have one actionable need for precise weather forecasting:

In hot weather I have outfit our California house with an assortment of commercial (quiet whole-house exhaust) and homebuilt (computer fan arrays in each window) fans. We rarely use air conditioning even in extreme heat, instead waiting till outdoor air is cooler than inside air to open up the house overnight. It's important to hang box fans between rooms to stir the air as much as possible; one is storing coolth in the walls. People are always surprised we're not on AC when they come inside the next afternoon.

As we're both on east coast schedules I sometimes have to set an alarm to get up and open up the house. This is guesswork. Better forecasting would really help. I don't see any multimodel tools in any of these paid apps that give me a better view, zooming in on this precise question, than a generic hourly forecast by the usual suspects.

(New construction near us forces a reliance on AC. One would think that in regions with good daily temperature swings, designing a house like a water-cooled computer would make sense. We should be seeing as many rooftop radiators as solar panels. Not a thing...)
It always depend of your definition of security, I'm personally prevented from checking those claims on Android so I trust it much less than my Linux laptop, despite whatever Google could claim. Additionally, who knows what's really running in userland in Android...

"<" is used to represent partial-order relations, and partial orders are often non-strict (i.e. really less-than-or-equal). Then LESS-THAN BUT NOT EQUAL TO can be used to denote that a particular pair is partially-ordered but not equal (i.e. strict partially ordered). In the same vein there’s also SUBSET OF WITH NOT EQUAL TO (U+228A).
I see something similar happen in all kinds of support roles. E.g. a DBA complaining about how bad the developers were for using a database. It turns out about 95% never needed anything but minimal support. 4% needed regular handholding. 1% did all kinds of stupid things, causing 90% of his support work. He only saw the worst devs.
We ended up ditching Arango for a new project, despite it having decent enough graph handling.

This is because, unlike many other DBs (namely Mongo, which we're trying desperately to move away from), you can't spin up a new instance and allow the application to idempotently initialize it.

The multi-modal engine of Arango seems great, but the DX surrounding its use is a bit subpar, and would greatly shift a lot of burden to the environment config, which only adds to potential security vulnerabilities.

This is only made worse by the fact it has a severely limited granularity with security permissions.
Yeah me too! I have my own instance. Well I have a service that set it up for me.

I am very tired of having to deal with cookies on just about every site I go to. Almost nobody wants tracking cookies. I’ve noticed many sites it’s hard to tell whether the tracking cookies are enabled or disabled.
I think there is a huge win here for a first mover. Let's say McDonalds works out a deal to have EV chargers at all restaurants with a parking lot. You know have a known location to EV charge anywhere in the country. And as you say, might as well go get something to eat while you wait. Seems like a win-win. I think this is the thing that could take make gas stations less relevant. If I have to wait 30 minutes, I may want more than a candy bar or bag of chips. Obviously the EV transition is going to take quite a while so I expect convenience stores to slowly add "subway" style made to order subs, etc.

Sure, but as I said I was in a small company, 2 developers only that this was the first time we worked with RTL. The project was not targeting a global audience or a casual home user, it was something about helping with your job, only supports english... my point was that we did not answer with it is just 1 customer we can ignore them , we decided we can do the work, gain a new customer this week and maybe a few more in future , every one is important. If we code the things right we don't need to touch this code at each update.
Why would anyone contemplate leaving their children behind in foster care? That seems an absurdly hyperbolic suggestion. People move countries for work and take their children with them all the time. I mean, if the country was Syria and you literally risk death, then I could understand, but people in that situation are refugees, not on work visas.

Perhaps I’m finding this hard to understand since I have no desire to live in the US whatsoever and have turned down several offers from companies that wanted me to move there. Nice place to visit, but I can think of dozens of places I would rather live.

This is a common misconception. Amphetamine was used to treat childhood ADHD going back to the 1930s. (Not to mention that amphetamine was widely used to treat sinus congestion and allergies in everyone, including children.) Medical amphetamine usage was significantly higher in the 1950s and 1960s than today. We’ve been on a long term secular decline in amphetamine usage (along with caffeine, nicotine and other stimulants).

Learn it. It takes an afternoon to learn the modern foundations. Box model, flex box and CSS grid. That’s it. Google the rest as you come upon use cases.

Why has CSS been a constant on the web when we churn through everything else? Be curious.
The recent Norway story is fascinating and inspiring.

But the cynic in me can't help but wonder why hasn't the country been invaded for its resources. Plenty of poor countries have natural resources that are being exploited to death by external actors, yet there are unicorns like Norway that nobody seems to touch.

I really don't get it
Placing tight filtration on the HVAC system can substantially reduce airflow over the coils and/or heat tubes, decreasing efficiency and possibly causing the system to malfunction.

The HVAC system just needs enough filtering to avoid impacting its operation. Any additional air particulate removal should be done separately.
Forbes does this, too. It was the first site I noticed it on, years ago at this point. I don't know how it's not illegal.
You see how the brain does white balancing quite clearly when working with LED lights optimised for salad, for example. The light has very little green in it and looks nearly pink. After a few minutes it looks less pink and nearly normal (depending on the lamps). Then go outside in daylight and everything suddenly look green, which takes a minute to go back to normal. The brain adds the green it perceives to be missing, and removes it again when it isn’t needed.
Many chains (QuikTrip in the midsouth and Wawa and Sheetz in the Mid-Atlantic for example) are clearly preparing for this future by emphasizing the convenience store/deli/coffee shop/fast food aspect above the gas. They want you to come in for the food and sundries and only incidentally grab some gas too while you're there, not the other way around. It's working.

The kind of mediocre little shops that you mostly only stop at for gas and only go into the store if you really need something though will suffer.
Although I considered myself good at CSS, but I won't recommend you just learn it like everybody else suggesting in this thread - just build your MVP and pick up things when necessary. Here is my recommendation:

1. You're talking of MVP so I assume the UI doesn't have to be glamorous. Most of the elements you are going to leverage could be UI libs like Material-UI[0] or Ant Design[1].

2. Then, other than components, sometimes you do need some CSS handle layout and such. My choice would be CSS frameworks like Tailwind[2]. Honestly, to make good use of Tailwind sometimes require good CSS skill, but I believe people could still try Adhoc problem-driven approaches - you'll learn things along the way.

In case CSS makes you wonder after the MVP, you could try to expand styles you have been using in Tailwind, to see what's the corresponding CSS is and you'll learn.

(There's also a macro version of Tailwind named twin.macro[3] which fits React better IMO.)

(Tailwind has their official UIs (not free) [4] but I never tried them, it might work for you if you don't care about UI)

> Your chances of catching COVID aren't 100%, your chances of getting vaccinated are if you choose to do so.

Well, yes. Obviously we’re taking that into account when determining absolute chance to die from a certain thing.

> This argument also works in reverse.

It’s like choosing to take a walk (and risk getting hit by lightning, very very low chance) because you might get in a car accident if you drive a car (relatively high chance)?

Not sure I follow. Inverting it makes it reasonable.
I recently had the same issues you did with my ISP. I started mentioning firing middle management for tolerating such poor customer service. I received a call from a person within a couple minutes.

If only there was meaningful ISP competition in my area.
It is theoretically true. They have changed the protocol at least three times, there are no user-accessible settings (just about:config) to point at your own sync server, there is no documentation. And at their rate of breaking stuff, your sync server will be obsolete as soon as you get it running. Happened to me, will never waste time on it again.

And the open-source version of the sync server is bad software, age-old python, tons of code smells. I'd wager it is not what they are using themselves.
(Right, like returning to a country you were trying to escape.)
Most doctors don't accept this sort of end of life care. We should stop making it the default and make it elective instead. We treat animals far more humanely, allowing them to be put down when their quality of life goes down without much hope of improvement. Right now, if I want to avoid the nightmare fate of elderly or permanently ill people, I would have to commit suicide ahead of time. I would rather have a humane system that could take care of that when I am too far gone .

Even going by the "covid on death certificate" number, it's 109 a day. Adjusted for population it's almost as bad as the science-denying shitshow that is half the US right now. Compare that to countries who actually have it under control like Australia and Taiwan, who had eight and zero deaths yesterday.
What country are you based in? Have you ever lived in a country with extreme poverty or an oppressive government?

We should apply a high degree of emotional moderation, if not actual moderation, to outrage-generating anecdata. Sometimes it gives insights into society in a way that data does not capture or for which data is not available (e.g. organized retail theft in SF, or the difficulty of getting an abortion in an otherwise 'legal' state), but oftentimes it just serves to trigger emotional responses and invite conflict (see https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/too-good-to-check-a-pl...).
My phone and laptop, and browsers support DCI-P3. Is there a color picker for wider gamuts? Because the article keeps talking about sRGB and picking in that color space, but I feel like is limiting the capabilities of current technology.
I don't have a number of course, but I believe that almost all relational db models are more naturally modeled as graphs. In fact, all normalized relational db models that use foreign keys are just implementing a graph - foreign keys represent edges between nodes.

has-many, has-one, and many-to-many are all graph relationships. The relational model + foreign keys is just one way to encode a graph.
Yes. And my snarky tone was in response to the indifferent, detached-from-reality overselling hype prevalent in the original blog post.

However, my post was not only tone, for there was also substance, the contrast of which to the OP is hilarious, because it betrays the above in a very obvious fashion.

> pushing for more vaccines will change the situation in any way that makes you happy.

Given that even highly-vaccinated localities like Iceland (74% vaccinated) keep seeing waves of COVID cases and that COVID waves peak and decline without countries achieving the 90% rate vaccine proponents suggest as the threshold for herd immunity, we have to begin seriously questioning the public health case for mandatory universal vaccination. I wish more people would think critically about this issue instead of adopting an aggressive attitude of enforced conformity to an orthodoxy that doesn't appear to have all its facts lined up.

Looking objectively at experiences of countries around the world, one is forced to conclude that in the case of COVID, with the non-sterilizing vaccines currently available, vaccine passports are neither sufficient nor necessary for safeguarding public health and present serious challenges to privacy, civil liberties, and the rule of law.
For anyone who cares, here are the official statistics.

> Among U.S. adults, 6.6% (annual average) used prescription stimulants overall; 4.5% used without misuse, 1.9% misused without use disorders, and 0.2% had use disorders. [0]

With that as a prior, this anecdata seems far off unless there's something horribly wrong at Stanford.

Practically, I'm not sure where kids are getting this stuff to supply amphetamine at a 1-7 rate, unless they're buying straight up meth. I'd be more inclined to believe 25% have taken it once a semester or in their careers, but weekly?

We probably couldn't realistically conduct research under conditions where you had to live in confinement for the duration of research with weeks long cooling off periods between visits to the real world.

Thanks for this, an enjoyable documentary I remember seeing on Netflix a few years ago but never getting around to it.

I understand it was made with a broader audience than HN in mind, but I wish they extended the runtime to cover the technical aspects in greater depth.

As it is, it’s a quality sports movie, although I do find it amusing that in a match between a self-made young man and a cutting-edge piece of technology developed by one of world’s most powerful companies, the latter was initially presented as the underdog.

There is no reason to suppose that, if Sars-Cov2 originated at WIV that it was NOT part of a bioweapons program simply considering the tight integration of the PLA with all forms of research deemed of national interest in China. It's certainly not evidence AGAINST there being a bioweapons angle to Sars-Cov2 (if it emerged from WIV) that the PLA is involved (as it has been documented it is)[0][1].

Election polling is not anecdotal.

There's a range of things you need to do to turn asking people into data successfully.
They're different facilities though, and in different places.

Gas stations are situated near population centers, because you tend to run out of gas wherever you're driving, and you drive where you live.

In practice, consumer EVs almost universally charge at home[1] and "never" just "run out" of charge. You're car is always charged, there's little value to topping up at the shopping areas or whatever. Instead, you need DC fast charging where you travel: on the long distance arteries where your car can't otherwise reach.

To be clear: you need gas there too. But rural highway gas stations represent a small fraction of all gas service. Most gas stations won't be able to shift to EV charging and keep their business model.

[1] Though there are growing pains with apartment facilities being slow to install AC charging. Right now an EV works much better in a home with a garage, though that seems likely to sort itself out. Cheap electrical work is cheap, it's just a question of how to get people to pay for it. Some regulation is likely to be needed.
Your mistake was acting sneaky.
I don’t see any reason why this wouldn’t kill all these gas stations. We don’t need that many electric charge stations. And definitely not in these locations.

In fact we want them dead. Gas stations are usually occupying very nice commercial land.
There are lots of things on the web that gamify aspects of css: FlexBox Froggies comes to mind.

I don't really see it as boring to begin with honestly. I like building UIs, so I don't think it's boring to learn to build UIs.
It's not really about having the balls to do this, but more about having the budget and name to be able to get your income without it.

Netflix will still have the potential subscribers signing up because the name will simply bring ppl in.

MyNiceService that has 0 budget and benefits from every subscriber, even if I have to bring 30% (which is 15% in the beginning until I get big) to apple is simply not able to do that.
But Linux based phones might be better in terms of privacy and data collection en mass, and giving back to society via open source software and hardware.

Large firms offer platforms that are secure against anyone other than themselves (and their partners, such as states).

Google tracks and collects huge data through various channels, and Apple scans your information in your own device (and its operating system is even closed source and cannot be verified). Their platforms might be incrementally more secure against advanced expensive attacks, e.g., targeted attacks performed by a company such as NSO.

If you are an average user, do you worry more about maximizing the security or major privacy concerns, namely: automatic mass data collection, tracking and profiling by governments and those in power, or fancy attacks targeted to you?
I don't understand the need to split hairs when it actually reinforces my conclusion but thanks anyway for pointing it out. Isn't it even more surprising that he would step outside of his role to throw himself into the limelight when it's not even his job? Seems like he was desperate to control the narrative.

That's the thing about Fauci; every time a point is made in his defense, it only seems to implicate him further.
Apparently we have constructed a society in which everyone, including children, has to spend all day doing things they can't care about without pharmaceutical help.

When this last happened under the Qin dynasty, it ended in the Taiping Rebellion, and produced nothing of value except those little canned oranges.

I hear pornographic performers are on Viagra too.

Meanwhile nobody actually has children, and CO2 PPM keeps going up and up and up.

What the fuck is everyone doing?

Just going through the motions on pills, while our intrinsic motivations scream at us that we're supposed to be doing something else.
Did people switch because Linux was thought to be more secure, or did they switch because they were sick of Apple?

IMO perceptual uniformity isn't even necessarily desirable in all (or even most) cases.

The only time I think it's really necessary is making color palettes for data visualizations.

Otherwise, if you're e.g. designing a color palette for a webpage, you probably do want some variation in perceived brightness. Heck, I could think of plenty of valid data visualization scenarios where you'd want this.
