It's definitely a mix of the two, but I think the icon style, the window borders, scrollbars, fonts, and colors are all more reminiscent of 3.11 than 95.

Once we get comfortable with human cloning, we can create headless human clones and remove any HLA immune triggers.

Nice. I like how the opt-out is really intrusive, in order to discourage you from doing it. And of course being on a "_nomap" SSID is going to make you easily identifiable anyway, because nobody else is doing it.

You wouldn't let a Google rep come to your house and physically map out your home, or note down the MAC addresses of your Wifi access point. Yet people are totally OK with them doing it as long as someone physically doesn't show up to do it.

It's so arrogant to make a "welcoming" system for people based on FreeBSD. Arrogant because it assumes the system and its ecosystem of packages will never break and the user will never have to troubleshoot. Either that or they have amazing restore capabilities. Which is something I'd like to see in BTRFS on Linux now that it's being used in Fedora by default.

Because once they inevitably have to troubleshoot they'll discover a much smaller community with much fewer blogs and articles about it than Linux.

The issue is that smoking is more or less an end in itself, as opposed to social media which is a... medium. You don't "social media", you use social media to communicate, which is the actual end. And that's where things can go wrong.

A while ago there was a thread here on HN about how WhatsApp had got quite big in Brazil. The particular thing I remember was that apparently, in some school districts, you'd have to be on WhatsApp to get information about your kids' school. If not mistaken, this was at the time when the new privacy policy was being rolled out, with threats of being cut off from the service if you didn't accept it.

The school can only communicate via so many platforms, and they're likely to choose the biggest ones in their area. So when you're banned, or for some other reason can't or won't go on them, then it's a problem.

Of course, the bigger point is that maybe this kind of services shouldn't transit only through social media but should be available in an open way, but I won't hold my breath, at least for the time being.

I keep seeing articles about inflation and the supply chain and not a single one mentions that the previous administration's trade war policies are still in effect, which means significant (10-25%) tariffs on many kinds of raw materials and the equipment you'd need to build new factories domestically.

Is it just that we forgot that these cost increases and trade barriers are still in effect, or is it that the trade war is so politically popular that even the suggestion of perhaps suspending it for a couple of years is simply unmentionable?

Thank you for the reply. Most of my repos are currently in private, so it's difficult for me to point you to the code I wrote. However, I can list a simple example here.

Genetic algorithm usually deals with chromosomes. I have used binary and hexadecimal chromosomes in the past and found that the binary chromosomes are more flexible, especially with bitwise operations.

Let's say a chromosome with four chunks of 4-digit binary, with each digit as dimension of true/false value; we end up with something like 1011 1100 0010 0101. Then I stored these four chunks in four documents in a NoSQL database. Each document then also has the records of other 16-digit chromosomes, so that I can refer to those 16-digit chromosomes contain an exact/similar 4-digit chunk. This was the fastest method I could come up with the last time I worked on it; I am sure that there are more efficient methods out there.

Hopefully, this can shed some light on how the genetic algorithm works.

America has a few key industries where we have the lead, but that won't be for long given the pace of China and various other developing economies. Even Europe is growing a tech sector. If we lose the lead in the things we export, what else do we have to sell the world?

Even more of a risk is that we can be strong-armed once we no longer have leverage. This is a reason to onshore critical pieces. And we can't have a fledgling domestic industry be cost competitive without tax and trade incentives.

The trade war needs to be an investment. Otherwise we'll just continue to cede ground.

A trade war might hurt, but an America without exports will hurt worse. As will an America that has to take what's given to it.

Recently I also figured out that "automatic switching of graphic mode" (enabled by default) causes noticeable input lag. If I type text, the last typed character sometimes doesn’t show until another character is typed or I have to wait up to 5 seconds(!).

Redux alone contributes a lot of boilerplate to state handling. Why is it needed? It has no benefits in small apps, it’s easy to abuse to destroy performance if a future dev isn’t cued in to the way Redux state needs to be normalised, and a React useReducer state handler is trivial to refactor to a Redux one later, if needed.

The same goes for TypeScript—how many interfaces does that app really have? Is it used in strict mode or just to type the most critical things?

I don't understand what leads you to believe that a paper that can be filed under "spurious correlation" could be automatically discarded as not being serious.

One of the purposes of scientific articles is to report interesting findings to peers, which serve as food for thought. By definition, the state of the art of any field is perpetually in a "work in progress" stage, and researchers feed off each other's work to progress.

This paper reports an observation. Like all similar papers, now the community is free to look into it and bring some clarity to the topic. This is how progress is achieved.

> not bulky gaming laptops with lots of cooling & ventilation

Those also have cooling problems. I bought a bulky one with 3 fans just because it had a nice processor. It couldn't sustain high performance under load for more than 5 seconds even with the fans maxed out. Compiling some code pushes CPU temperatures into the 80-90 ℃ range. Scrolling a chat in WhatsApp Web also overheats my laptop.

I've given up on laptops. If they require cooling at all, the manufacturer did it wrong.

A lot of what makes him sound old is the subject matter. I don't think I've heard the word "steamboat" more than two or three times in my whole life.

Another thing that made it tricky is that a lot of what he says sounds totally normal for modern American English, it's just a little... poetic? The bit about fathers and grandchildren would fit right into a modern speech or essay, for example. I might find it odd coming from a friend in casual conversation though.

There's something about the way he sees his place in the world too. He's a part of it, not a separate thing in it, if that makes sense. That perspective is something that I think has become rare.

Great question. Made me think quite a bit about how context-dependent language is, and the myriad ways just a few sentences can communicate so much more than their literal meaning.
> is it that the trade war is so politically popular

Biden has doubled down on Trumps trade policies to the extent that he appointed a Taiwanese-American trade lawyer, Katherine Tai, as US Trade Representative.

That story says that Powell had owned a relatively small allocation of munis for years, before the Fed bought munis as part of QE triggered by an unexpected pandemic, which makes perfect sense given their aims.

> "safe" image coming out of nowhere.

If nowhere is the marketing department for Tylenol.

It was created in 1877, before the FDA was in place with such rigorous testing requirements for drugs. It’s safe image has been marketed since then and now represents enough money for the Johnson & Johnson company that they lobby against restrictions on its use.

Globalism is fantastic for business and stocks, but horrible for the American worker.

"Batteries leading to mobile electronics" existed in the period 1890-1940.

As https://www.radiolaguy.com/info/About%20battery%20radios.htm points out, "Few homes in the early 1920s where wired for AC operated appliances." so most radios "were battery operated and required more than one type of battery."

Modern agriculture also requires a non-sustainable use of fossil fuels, destroys ecosystems to raise meat animals more cheaply, and generates huge monocultures tempting the next great blight. "Genetic engineering" also includes making farmers economically dependent on the patented seeds from a small number of seed companies.

Speaking of which, post-war air conditioning, combined with cheap power from fossil fuels, meant that millions could move to places like Phoenix or Los Vegas and live in houses with styles meant for, for example, Cape Cod, rather than local vernacular architecture like thick adobe walls. Gigatons of CO2 emissions, to maintain a certain style, and because tearing down forests for stick building is cheaper in the short term.
