> Do you really think windmills were fundamentally restricted by a lack of technology in the 50s/60s/70s? And that aggressive early solar investment wouldn't have produced what we have now back in the 1980s? Or that battery chemistry wouldn't have been substantially advanced with aggressive funding?

To a certain extent, yes. Control electronics and especially HVDC use in offshore turbines, where all the economies of scale are happening, were not as advanced as they are now.

No. Solar technology is based on semiconductor technology to a certain extent, and we weren't as far long as we are now in that.

Funding is no guarantee of discovery in research. Yes you can throw more money at the problem to have more people looking at things, but there's an element of creativity in deciding which pathways to go down for experimentation. Discovery is also often (usually?) random and serendipitous: see James Burkes' television series Connections.

In material science and chemistry there is a finite number of paths, because of the finite number of elements involved, but it's still a grind to go through, and people may prioritize/try the wrong ones initially.

More research is more better, but there needs to be a societal base that is fertile for the change in question. Once that base is there, there is often the same/similar discovery popping up from multiple places 'spontaneously':

> Oil has owned our military, political, and industrial landscape.

Oil has not: cheap, convenient energy has. This is because cheap, convenient energy allowed us to get beyond mere sustenance living and industrialize and mechanize work. Oil just happens to be that for the last century or so (after surpassing coal in the Industrial Revolution which kicked things off). Would you have us completely stop modern society?

> Our "defense department" has force projected all over the globe to enable access to oil, we've fought wars at the behest of oil companies […]

The US has been running the globe well before oil companies were a major influence. The US went after Mexico and Texas before oil was discovered there. There was no oil in Cuba or the Philippines.

The past is not just the past. The continent of people that were robbed and destroyed using this word exist very much in the present.
Motor vehicles have always been highly regulated though, they'll probably need drivers onboard at all times whether they are driving or not, for safety. Kind of like train drivers (though that's a much more controlled environment) or aviation (again a much more controlled environment).
And/or roundabouts. They significantly reduce lethality of collisions at crossings.
Which is kind of like an accounting trick. The state already has the land, run a rail line through it instead of expanding it, etc.

But ultimately the expansion of the highways has downstream effects - state will buy new land, build new roads, etc. as density flows out. If you have a two lane highway going into a city and it's congested, and then you expand it, more people move out of the city or more further away - obviously someone is building new roads or expanding existing ones as that occurs.

Off the top of my head: lower rates of unionization.

Does this seem really inefficient to anyone else? Why is there not a language that can do the prototype and offer a high performance ceiling? Julia seems like a candidate.
No, you will still work 8 hours, maybe even 10; it's the great paradox of productivity increases: e.g., teachers had to write way fewer reports before the computers became ubiquitous but when they did, the amount of reports increased slightly out of proportion so that teachers now spend more time on reports than they used to. Progress!
Watch Everything is a Remix: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJPERZDfyWc

I've been prolific over the years in programming and art & code, and about 99% of it was remixes of others work. I'm not ashamed of that - many artists draw inspiration from multiple sources. The trick is to put your own spin on it, not directly rip off someone else's work. Many artists will never tell you they borrowed from various sources, because they think that would come across as unoriginal and merely copying others work, but have a few beers with an artist and suddenly they start sharing their secrets...

I believe nuclear can be cost effective. I believe nuclear can be safe. I just don't believe nuclear can be safe and cost effective. We have been trying to solve this nuclear energy problem for over 50 years and we still aren't there.

The issue of renewable energy storage is significant, but look to be easier to solve than how to make nuclear energy cost effective and safe.
You know, I have never actually considered this aspect of "cyborg-life". Given how much I slouch at desks all day, yeh, a life saving kidney digging in my ribs would get annoying !

I suspect it would just be an internal version of the parental "stop slouching dear". Users might report better backs as well as kidneys !

And just to be clear, Science and medicine makes amazing advances each day and decade. I am astonished by the idea this even is close to working.
I did not have my vision tested (beyond infancy/toddler blindness tests) until I was 15. In hindsight (so to speak) my vision was probably similar all through childhood (both parents needed glasses in childhood). I could read (and loved it) so no problem right? My vision loss is asymmetric and I was aware of that -- but I also knew everyone tends to have a more dominant eye so I never thought much about it. The idea I had poor vision never occurred to me (or anyone else!)

I've worn glasses daily since. I can still legally drive without them (passed the vision test) but the prospect is a frightening one given that I can't read the text on my computer monitor at my usual preferred size without my glasses unless I squint.
> They don't appear much in mainstream media, though.

The black evangelical Christian church is a media trope. It's a huge part of many black communities in the US, especially in the south.
Ya. At the time, I was an Apple partisan. I just could not understand how the PC XT was more successful than the Apple, Atari, and Commodore computers.

With hindsight, it was probably my first experience with "worse is better".

A phenomenon I still don't understand, frankly. JavaScript? ffs.

There was one exception. My bestie's dad bought a HeathKit/Zenith Z-150 kit. That was kinda cool. https://www.ljkrakauer.com/LJK/80s90s/heathkit.htm https://archive.org/details/ZenithDataSystemsZ-150PcSalesFly...
No, it's literally the same thing.

We don't ship source maps on production apps. This is for JS apps but also similar with executables and debug files.

All the logging is done trough some service like Sentry, but exactly where the error happened is opaque in the client-side. Sentry is responsible for doing the sourcemap translation.

The only difference is that with "personalized" formatting, the source mapping would be done based on the user that is logged to Sentry.

That's it.

Of course there are other workflows such as support getting errors displayed directly to customers via copy-paste, or reading server logs to look for those errors, but for apps where you have a logging solution you don't need to rely on those.
I'm not saying I'd be actively trying to blow things up from inside, my job wouldn't last long, and my whole point was that I'm not an activist about it: someone's getting paid for it and it may as well be me (if I don't have a better offer).

In your horrible analogy, I suppose what I mean is something like (but come on, not remotely close to!) 'why are we burning books and looting art, this is terrible, oh well someone else will if not me, and hey, I like art', but then 'you want to do a holocaust?! No, that is absurdly too far, whistle blow'.
In the case when population remains constant, sure, but with a growing population, more housing is always required, thus the value should always increase, no?

It would be really nice to create an impenetrable set of shell organizations as an open art/citizenship project. No one who has these complex organizations for a purpose would reveal their structure; but, if a set of holding companies were created for no purpose, it could reveal a lot about methods and approaches that could inform public policy.

There’s certainly not any inbuilt browser sanitation that prevents you entering XSS or other injection attacks into input fields. Thank goodness. If there was, how could you discuss examples in web forums like this? Or use a webpage to edit code?

XSS and other injections are not problems with data input, they are problems of data output.
> There were massive riots and political rallies

I remember a lot of rallies, but not any (well many) riots. But those were outdoors and masked. Well, most of them.

> A lot of them are already immune due to having had covid.

If that were true, then we wouldn't be having a spike right now. Clearly, they have some immunity.

> Protections that are currently deployed are mostly "covid theater" anyway. Nobody even checks your body temperature when you go into a grocery store

Fever is an imperfect test. But you don't recall when they checked your temperature for grocery stores?

But masks and vaccines are effective, not theater.

My two cents: Sometimes we need to make certain goals a marathon (complete something in a week, month, or year), other times we need to make them a sprint (do something in 5 minutes, an hour, or a day).

You get to choose how long something takes too. If burnout and brain-fog starts creeping in (and it will) then sever the connection and rejoin the task after recovery. Rinse and repeat.
Yours is a fair and reasoned response. It’s being downvoted is probably chilling; it would be for me. I’m far more worried about that in a place like this than I am about illiberalism on campus.
The Bible makes it pretty clear no one can conform to its standards - “we are all sinners” etc. - so by that standard there’s only one Christian.
Well, there are shared ETS in Erlang which we actually use for caching lots of things (e.g., the formatted timestamp with 1 second lifetime -- it's faster to look it up than recalculate in every process, -- or, yes, auth tokens).
From what I remember when I last looked into it: We underestimate how bright sunlight is. Screens just aren't bright enough. They only appear to be bright to us because they are one of the few light sources in indoor environments.

I would like to have a paper featured in Nature but published in a volunteer-run non-profit open access journal. The papers published in prestigious journals are often not very useful, because they must be written for a rather general audience. When I'm building upon someone else's work, the information I'm interested in tends to be buried in the supplements, because it's too obscure for the audience of the journal.

Each draft Country Reports followed the same template and contained sections relating to:

It's NixOS... could they pull just that package from the release-21.05 channel? E.g.,

let
newerPkgs = import (builtins.fetchGit {
name = "release-21.05-pkgs";
url = "https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/";
ref = "refs/heads/release-21.05";
rev = "8d6407e5a442e5e2fc50c3ca36411b6995afbc17";
}) {};
in

and then reference newerPkgs.matrix-synapse in their environment.systemPackages?

I may have the syntax slightly wrong, but something like that.

Edit: Ah, except Synapse is a service, so things get a little more complicated. https://nixos.wiki/wiki/FAQ/Pinning_Nixpkgs has some pointers.

Practical Vim: Edit Text at the Speed of Thought
Turns out tribal identity groups are easily hijacked.
I certainly don't disagree with you, but I think it is still right to blame religion specifically because religion often isn't passive and it's intentionally so. It noticed those traits in humanity you pointed out, and it capitalizes on them through evangelism and then division. Evangelism and then separating you from other groups is built into pretty much all major religions, which is likely why they are still around.

Of course a lot of people don't practice that so much now, there are a lot of passive religious people. But it's built into the fabric of the idea of religion I feel, which is worth criticizing.

Looking at the very first chart, containerships anchored in Los Angeles and Long Beach started increasing dramatically in late 2020, peaked in January 2021, then started falling back down almost reaching pre-pandemic levels by around June 2021. Then, in July 2021, they started rising quickly again, that rise has continued unabated, and as of now, the level is at the highest it has ever been, and almost TWICE the previous peak in January 2021. What specifically caused this sudden spike over the last 3 months?
It certainly appears so

Sure, and in the 50s, vacuum tubes were the only mainstream computing mechanism that had seen real world use for a significant length of time. Same goes for all other outdated technologies.

When you have a distributed system, it really isn’t hard to “retain” information in a byzantine fault tolerant way. Proof of Work is mostly used to help with liveness, not persistence.
Password managers and persistent auth cookies are why getting onto the domain matters.

I guess the posited worm would make use of the fact that if an authenticated Apple.com user can inject a payload via marking an air tag as lost and setting its phone number, if that payload runs on an Apple.com page on the victim’s device, it then gets some new apple.com credentials; if the victim also has any airtags, it can mark them as lost and inject the payload into the phone number field.

Requires the airtag to be scanned by another airtag owner, obviously, and unclear who would scan their airtag. Overall, a good example of how to think about how viral reproduction methods can lead to very different replication rates depending on population characteristics and behavior.
Now notice how no one is going to "harmonize" you.

Proof of Work (POW) solutions can be equally deployed on other consensus protocols that don't have unbounded energy demands, given the ways the platforms function. Proof of Stake (POS), Delegated Proof of Stake (DPOS), etc.

There should be standardized education in this field if standards communities themselves can be so reactionary, equally missing that decentralized identifiers have nothing to do with blockchain, and even if they did that they have nothing to do with POW.

Show HN: Use Twitter via Email
Hey HN - I sold my company earlier this year and I've been thinking about what I want to do next. Founders with a following on Twitter can bounce ideas off that group and get early adopters, so I wanted to grow my Twitter account. I follow [Daniel Vassallo](https://twitter.com/dvassallo) (grew to 70k+ followers) and he suggests replying to big accounts when they tweet. Twitter has notifications you can turn on to get notified when people Tweet, but there are a few problems:

1. They notify you for all sorts of other things I didn't care about

2. You have to turn the notifications on/off for every account

3. I wanted to reply to Tweets without opening Twitter to reduce distractions

Here's the solution, I'm calling it *[Wax](https://www.wax.run/twitter)*:

1. [Sign up](https://www.wax.run/twitter) and add a Twitter list that fits your niche. You can find one on [Listr](https://www.listr.pro/) or try [this one](https://twitter.com/i/lists/1433539932530909184).

2. We send you an email or SMS when someone on the List tweets

3. Reply to the email and we'll post the Tweet immediately

I’m not suggesting that you can’t trust any software, but the Mozilla App Store has proven to not be trustworthy. I avoid installing software from pip and npm also.

But you’re still missing the point, this should be compiled into Firefox core, if it’s a licensing thing badge it as Firefox-non free. Not everybody cares about altruistic goals, I just want a browser that works so I can do my job, securely.

Edit: but if you don’t already see a future where ultimately open source cannot be trusted unless it comes from a trusted repo (yum, apt) then you should start preparing for that.

True, this keeps the community small and those work really well without moderation.

The moment it becomes a bit more popular, shit hits the fan. I am still for a light approach. Banning spammers, trolls, and illegal porn posters is a separate issue for me, but many platforms began to delete unpopular opinions.

The most heavy handed moderated places are very often the most toxic ones, I think they are far worse than free for all examples. Given, that might not work for the masses.
