I think Maurice is Forster's best novel, for the others I prefer the Merchant/Ivory adaptations.

It's hard to relate to how some of his contemporaries felt betrayed that maybe they didn't know the real person behind the works.
Call me back once they have a plan to deal with abusive content.
There's no vanilla linux version of Libby, Kindle app, Kobo, Marvel Unlimited, Pressreader etc. At best you can maybe use a web browser for those which is a sub-par experience. For reading content Android is IMO better because there is general an app for DRM'd content. Linux doesn't have that and not all content can be made DRM free.
I think a fight against misinformation is such a misguided attempt at fixing the actual problem, trust. There would be no reason to fight misinformation if you were simply trusted.

The truth is there is no corporation, government, or people you should trust other than the ones quite literally around you. There is no consistently verifiable way to know if anything is true outside your sphere of interactions without delegating trust. I don't think any corporation or government can make an argument in good faith they should be trusted implicitly.

In the real world if someone wrongs someone else there is a risk to their wellbeing. If someone does something truly heinous to another person there are paths of retribution both legal and illegal they may take. Regular people don't regularly walk around with secret service, however prominent wealthy government officials and executives of these organizations could. They would effectively been be immune to consequences regular people would suffer from. You can only mislead someone for so long until those people act unreasonable at the revelation that you haven't just lied to them once, but their entire relationship with you was a lie.

In a devolved world where truth and trust is nowhere to be found the only people you can personally hold accountable are those close to you, you can't always delegate accountability to some obscure organization (corp/gov) to fix your problems because you can't even trust that what was said to be done was even done.

There are too many sponsored articles, posts, bills, etc that makes it impossible to know if what is being said is because someone paid them to say it or not. How do we build actual trust between events and the telling of said events?

Trying to create an industry of fact checking and "ministry of truth"-like departments seems counter productive because it would be trivial to infiltrate any created organization and then become the opposite of the original goal.
I'm a little confused at how you think the previous comment somehow is shifting blames from corporations to people. While true that rising energy costs will effect consumers, it's also one of the ways we can change the incentive structure for corporations!

For example: No one should be choosing between heating and eating, from a thermodynamic perspective. It's trivial to drastically cut heating energy through very low-tech methods: increasing insulation in the walls, and add extra layers of glass to your windows. The reason it's not done is because real estate developers have no incentive to increase their construction costs by some marginal amount since they know that natural gas cost is so cheap no customer is going to care about heating energy reduction. Not only that, most customers strongly prefer the cheaper construction once they're shown how many decades it would take for the better building envelope to pay for itself via energy bill reductions. Same reason there isn't a incentive to switch from (dirty) gas to electric, install solar panels, switch to heat pumps etc etc.

Now consider how building related carbon emissions make up about 40% of the total emissions, and you'll see how much of an infuriating obstacle cheap energy is in cutting carbon emissions.

Yes, there will be low-income people for who this will be a crisis, but that can be dealt with separately: government subsidies, or government subsidies of envelope retrofits (great stimulus idea). There is no reason frame this issue in a us versus them manner.
It's still possible to share things just for the sake of sharing
You actually hit the nail on the head there: It is a lot like calling something "military grade". Military grade is not something regular people want! Military grade is clunky, cumbersome and problematic for reasons that are a tradeoff for things that matter a lot to the military, but which are not an issue at all for regular people.

You don't want your car to be covered in heavy armour. That gains you nothing and costs you a lot. But the military does want that, a lot.
Now we know what keeps busymom0 so busy.
Every so often I'll see something like this on HN that suggests that software engineers should be keeping similar records of everything they do, if for no other reason than to have a record of problems they've solved that can be grepped when a similar problem shows up. This seems like a good idea.

I wish I could be bothered to actually do it though

> There's also a slight problem of overcounting covid deaths in the US

Recounts already happened like a year ago due to this specific criticism, revised down for miscounts and further resulting in a greater total due to missed ones. This is such an old argument that never got updated, just added to the pile of frustrations that never get revisited.

The other issue with this argument is that the numbers are for indicative seriousness, and all other diseases especially respiratory illnesses have the same counting flaws, which means for relative seriousness everyone is still getting an accurate signal, compared to other ailments.
I would go crazy with that number of meetings, hearing people complaining all the time. Management is definitely not for me.

$XDG_CACHE_HOME is usually not set, it is an override and software should default to $HOME/.cache.

As per your link:

So even if Huggingface is aware of that variable (and it probably is) that won't help at all.

Because the customers know that "free" has a cost. That's the reason for this site's creation -- because if you're not the customer, you're the product. Free isn't the alternative that it might seem to be.
One popular approach is to add a massive tax/duty on e.g. CO2 emissions, but redistribute the revenue equally to all citizens.

If everyone were consuming the same amount/causing the same amount of emissions, this would be a no-op. However, since the rich tend to consume more, this will be a net positive for poorer people, and at the same time it will make decisions about activity that causes emissions more meaningful.

It's also much more palatable than bans or rationing, reasonably easy to implement, and avoids the trap of populist "ban highly visible thing of the day" approaches that tend to lower quality of life without addressing the real issue.
Those are some pretty terrible prices. You can share images (or anything else) publicly from Dropbox/Box/GDrive/OneDrive for a lot cheaper. Or just cut out the middleman and set up a S3 bucket for a few cents.

It’s all about context.

In the context of informal Internet chat, this is mild.

But as a business, in my own personal subjective opinion, it’s a real turn-off. I don’t ever EVER want companies to feign personality. At the moment it seems like this site exists purely because someone’s upset with Imgur. That’s a trrrible business model. I’m not about to rely on this existing in six months.

What I want is the most dead simple version of:

1. What it does

2. What’s in it for you

3. What’s in it for us

Everyone misses 3 but it’s imperative. Tell us why you’re here and how you plan on staying in business. If you don’t I’ll assume the worst.
It this was a normal startup, the tone wouldn't inspire trust or be good PR. Fortunately this is a personal project, so the author can do whatever the heck he wants with its public image.
Well let's put it this way - in natural language, we say stuff and implicitly assume we've done our best to express intent, but it may not be perfect (hence lawyers). In smart contracts you express your intent into a contract and then we pretend there was no intent. There is only the contract. And that's a massive floor.
I know you don't go to them every day but you aren't required to go to all of your teams' agile ceremonies (standups, etc.). They can be handled by the teams and their scrum master, which would be covered by your sync with the SM and your team members. That frees up some time, if you need it. Personally, I'm a big fan of managers being so busy managing that they don't have time for work. Keeps them from writing code. ;-)

There is definitely something in common with zazen but it is worth not externalizing it for two reasons.

1. I was formerly a Buddhist and I find it unserious, maybe even cringey or appropriative? People who are doing Buddhism are actually on a larger journey which their meditation is a component of, they want to train their attention to be able to truly be present and free of the bullshit of this world... the endless co-opting of mindfulness and meditation to "go out and be a more productive paper-pusher" just seems kind of... I don't know. Profane. Take something holy and put it into an unholy context. Same like I don't make it a point to describe it now as "bathing in the Holy Spirit without any other things to direct yourself to other than your belovedness as an adopted Child of God." You can describe it that way, but if someone's not on that journey that is a rather profane and unsettling thing to do, no?

2. By making it internal, for example by describing it as "doing nothing," I think it makes it easier? If you are setting up for zazen then you might go out and buy a good mat, buy a zafu, clear out a room so that you can stare at a blank wall, listen to many podcasts about the goals and aims of meditation. Like I said, this was an important part of my religious journey and if you're on one yourself, great! But the goal of doing nothing is much simpler than that and does not require special preparation.

I might have chosen an article more along the lines of (2), for example https://www.insidethetravellab.com/the-importance-of-doing-n... , where it's like "no we have seen this in a neuroscience context, here are some resources about what this is called in, say, athletic training contexts etc." Doesn't matter where you do it, it matters what your responsibilities are while you're doing it (namely, that you don't have any).

Anyone who willfully signs up for foreign surveillance is simply dumb. There's no other way to put it. That applies (to a lesser extent, but applies all the same) to folks from other countries that sign up for the likes of Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, or whatever else the US Government can coerce into "intelligence data sharing", and increasingly narrative peddling and censorship. Even if you are liberal, this will to eventually bite you in the ass, and it'll be bad.
This is silly. The US isn't trying to justify inaction, and cumulative contributions isn't useful for anything. Of course the United States' total emissions are higher--it industrialized nearly a century before China, long before climate science existed or before technology existed anywhere to reduce emissions.

The relevant metric is the rate of change of emission--are we putting more or less carbon into the atmosphere year over year, and by how much? China is continuing to increase its emissions year over year, while the US emissions are falling (though not quickly enough).

Another interesting metric is the consumptive emissions--how much emissions are generated from trade (e.g., when an American buys something produced in China, the carbon involved in manufacturing that item is emitted in China, but the American benefits from the pollution as well). I actually expected the US to have much higher consumptive emissions relative to China, but it looks like the consumptive emissions pretty closely track the productive emissions while being just a bit higher at 5.77 billion t/yr (falling gradually since 2005), while China's are at 9.86 billion t/yr and climbing.

On the note of consumptive emissions, the United States should not only implement its own carbon pricing scheme, but it (along with other rich countries) should also implement a border adjustment so countries like China don't enjoy unfair competitive advantages because they pollute. This would incentivize China to reduce its Co2 or suffer heavy economic losses. It would also increase manufacturing in countries that are more responsible.

That said, to your point, the Democratic Party pays lip service to environmental concerns (the current $3.5 T budget bill is making expensive token gestures to the environment which will cost polluters virtually nothing) and the Republican Party isn't even doing that. So yes, America has a lot of room for improvement (but at least America isn't arguing that we should be allowed to increase our emissions, contrary to Chinese arguments).
I don't have a breakdown of what people are using Ethereum for, but certainly a lot of those uses are stuff like NFTs, i.e. implementing other purely speculative assets. And there are lots of crypto startups using Ethereum, whose money is sourced from a different kind of speculation (er, "investment"). So again, it's not enough to just point at activity and say "look, real value!"
For $1/mo/user, it's still profitable to spend 2 minutes reviewing an abuse complaint and banning a user. :-)

this is a lie MrGrim told reddit. in reality he was promoting imgur on digg, SA, anywhere really. he just told reddit that so they’d think they were part of some secret new club since tinypic, photobucket, and imageshack were all terrible hosts in comparison.
I definitely used this on 90s-era forums.
Whereas people here are suggesting "only 1000 people will die if we don't. That'll save MORE carbon too!"

It is not reasonable to seriously cut energy usage. It will make the lives of the poor unliveable. Also any meaningful decrease will make 90% of people's lives unliveable.

No, we clearly need innovation to make this happen, not force. You cannot expect people to make these sorts of sacrifices, it's not going to happen.
"Are you a manager and think I’m terrible at time management? Which meetings would you cut?"

The immediate thing that raises questions is your meetings with "Team #1" and "Team #2", which is a bit unusual. General practice is that it takes a manager per team; so if you're managing two teams yourself then it's expected that you'll be overloaded (and if there's not many people then perhaps you can't afford the overhead of managing them as two separate teams and need to "merge" them in practice, having one common meeting instead of two separate ones) and on the other hand if there are separate team leads for these teams, then I'd argue that you don't need to participate in as many direct meetings as you do and instead delegate more to them and the teams themselves. If you "need to know" then perhaps review the meeting minutes without direct participation.
First major issue is that you can’t get your kids to school if there aren’t enough teachers willing to teach there. Whether it’s even worth paying a teacher to be there depends on the aggregate of the decisions of other parents as well. We’ve decided on a very standardized way of doing public schooling, and that goes beyond just what is taught.

But the bigger issue is that you’re talking almost entirely about decisions that only have effects with society wide adoption. Me wearing a mask doesn’t help, everyone wearing a mask does. Me getting vaccinated gives me 70% protection, everyone getting vaccinated creates herd immunity. There are classes of decision that only have an effect if almost everyone in society has to make them, you can’t just say “you do what you want and I do what I want” and expect that to make any sense when we are talking about that kind of decision.

Which isn’t to say we should force everyone to do things like get vaccinated. Arguing that choice and liberty are more important than safety is reasonable (as is arguing that the system is too incompetent to be trusted with that sort of power). But you have to argue for that specifically, not say “let me do what you want and I’ll do what I want” as if that’s a valid way to handle this type of situation. When we’re talking about things that only help if everyone does them, the choice is to enforce it or accept we won’t get the benefits.

I have a Hololens 2 on my desk that is the same way, you have to log in and sign in with a Microsoft account to access the MAC. Getting it onto my corporate network was a massive pain. Worse, to log in with our directory service we need to be on the corporate network that is MAC blocked so I ended up having to make a throwaway MS account and tethering it with my phone. Prior to this I didn't even realize you could omit the address, for some reason I thought it was a requirement to have the MAC address printed somewhere on the device/packaging.
I didn't claim that Python is unique nor innovative. However, FORTRAN and COBOL are not modern languages in the sense that one can reasonably expect a large selection of first- and third- party libraries for most common situations, and their availability on e.g. servers is far more limited, thus learning them just for scripting is not as good a choice as is Python.
I haven't used such systems, but I'm not surprised by the outcome. Telling a developer they can't edit a text file on their own computer is a system just begging to be worked around.
It's not magical thinking if you see hidden agendas and corruption as the root-cause of the mis-planning.

So...instead of signing up for foreign surveillance, we should sign up for domestic surveillance?
No there's plenty, HN just has the kind of people who need to loudly proclaim they don't engage with <insert popular thing>

That wrongly creates the impression that there are only a few HN users engaging with it.
Implying that people can't be hard working because "look, there's this other job that seems like it's harder" is just... I don't even know what.

As for the struggling part, if you control for cost of living the picture is going to look a lot different.
In the context of this thread, where we are discussing Git as a medium for storing the form of the programs in a format that is meant to be read and maintained by humans, we do store the programs in text.

Ok, maybe not that bad, but I am sure the copyright holders says this to grab the older fans.

I love B5, and probably will dislike the reboot, but I will watch it anyway.

Besides the great plot and storytelling, B5 is great because of it's characters and the casting decisions, I'm not a film buff, so I do not know ho is the best actors to play G'Kar or Delen, but I surely miss Andreas and Mira (RIP).

I hope for the space combat scenes, the visuals on the original are dated but the seeing it is awesome to this day. (I simp for the starfuries and the narn heavy cruiser)

You are already signed up for US surveillance if you live in the US, and have no choice in the matter. You have a phone, right? Then they know all they need to know about you - your location, contacts, emails, bank accounts, vices and proclivities. I specifically said that people from _other countres_ would be dumb to do so.
