People pick up fast food on their way home from work. The time that takes is only the difference in travel vs the most direct route (could be negligible) plus the time spent waiting in the drive thru. On the other hand, a lot of recipes online or in cookbooks completely ignore the time it takes to wash and cut vegetables, meats, and clean up after the meal. Recipes quoted to take 15 minutes can easily take over an hour. Lots of people also don’t know how to sharpen and use a kitchen knife properly so they take even longer for simple prep tasks. It’s fine to say “well they’ll get better if they take the time to learn” but they may not have time between multiple jobs and looking after kids.

The problem with the Slaughterbots narrative is it's not actionable.

We can choose not to build nuclear weapons: they're weapons with lots of weapons specific research associated.

But drones aren't. The technology is general use: it's a natural consequence of a couple hundred incremental improvements, and the only difference between "weapon" and harmless is a software parameter and a payload.

"Find and kill this person" is indistinguishable to a search and rescue AI, just with "on found and centre camera" triggering a bullet or a spike or a bomb and not text notification.

It is easy to make money right now because crypto just had one of the greatest bull runs of all time. How could you say that it would be the case in the future? 400% is easy? Easy to look at a chart and assume you can grab a chunk before it moons. How do you know there will be more 100%+ gains in the future? With the gaining popularity, bitcoin and eth will probably only fluctuate less and less over time.

A search "engine" inside PowerShell: You can type anything in the terminal, and it displays all the matching commands (with help snippets) in real-time. Then, if you type a command, it displays its help (snippets around the words after the command).

This would make discovering how to do things in PowerShell more interactive and enjoyable.
It would probably require integrating with the PowerShell reference doc on docs.microsoft.com...
I think your example fits the theory pretty well. If you flip a coin ten times and get mixed heads and tails, it's boring, but if you get ten heads in a row (so the theory goes), at some point your brain suddenly recognizes that you're dealing with an unexpected source of compressible data. Surprise!

White oak is used specifically in preference to red oak because the white oaks (a bunch of species, not just Quercus alba, are considered white oak) have tyloses blocking the pores in the wood. The red oaks (ditto) do not. The fact that white oak is also fairly decay resistant probably has something to do with this as well.

A neat parlor trick is to take a bit of red oak, put one end in your mouth, the other in a glass of water and blow bubbles.

This is also why white oak is famously used for whiskey barrels and other tight cooperage (vessels holding liquids), and red oak is used for slack cooperage (vessels that don't hold liquids).

How to stand out as a new developer (and ask qs) with Dan Moore [audio]
Isn’t this well known like 2019 news
It already has been a problem in terms of gate leakage, although largely mitigated by material improvements.

Gate leakage is the phenomenon of quantum tunneling through the gate dielectric barrier and started appearing as gate dielectrics became thinner and thinner. Gate leakage was mitigated by moving to higher k dielectrics (from silicon dioxide, SiO2, to more exotic materials that include other elements such as Hafnium).

Higher k dielectrics allow for the same capacitance per unit area and channel control with a thicker physical gate compared to plain SiO2, reducing gate leakage. This technology change came along with metal gates (which used to be polysilicon) and were a combined advance that Intel incorporated a few years before before TSMC, IIRC circa 2008.

This is a circuit designer's perspective. Someone who actually understands device physics and material properties can chime in to correct me.
This is a great action for Tesla given recent pro-life legislation there
Thanks for the correction -- you're right.

It doesn't really change my point though – I still don't see why a $2M+ property deserves to get transferred tax free. A $2M property would still only pay a little over $10,000/year in property taxes after the $1M exemption (which you can deduct against federal taxes, even with the SALT cap, which itself will likely repealed!). A pretty nice discount for an heir compared to someone who just went through actually buying a $2M home and pays twice the tax.

Honestly, if you're inheriting up to a $5M home for free in CA, and are still reliant on a job to make ends meet, the payment probably comes out to more or less what you would pay in a mortgage+taxes for a ~$1M home. A pretty good deal! If you're inheriting anything more than a $5M home, then I don't really think Prop 13 was intended for you in the first place – people with $10, $50, $100 million+ properties, well, it's my belief that we shouldn't be basing our entire housing policy on what's best for them. They can likely afford the taxes.

Not to mention that you can only shield a house from re-assessment for 1 generation, so even if there was a multi-million dollar family home that this family simply couldn't afford to pay taxes on otherwise, the heir of the heir would have to pay taxes regardless. So what's so privileged about the situation that tax reassessment gets to skip a generation?
The law as is is designed to benefit a shrinking sliver of the CA population while debatably actively hurting the rest.

I think a decent compromise that won't actively pull the rug out from anyone while also leveling the playing field is just ending Prop 13-related inheritance exemptions altogether. It wasn't even part of the original law. Then get rid of the exemption for all commercial and secondary/investment properties going forward. Let people live in their primary homes with a frozen tax basis, sure, just don't let them transfer it (and for the edge case, to encourage downsizing after becoming "empty nesters", allow people to transfer their assessed tax basis to a property of lesser or equal market value).
So Tesla moved their headquarter to a state that they cannot even sell their cars directly.

A message from the Swedish state epidemiologist, as quoted in context (https://tt.omni.se/vaccinering-med-moderna-pausas-for-yngre/...):

> Det här är väldigt osäkra data från en preliminär studie, så vi har inte pekat på någon särskild nivå. Vi har fått ta del av den här studien från Läkemedelsverket och ser att det finns en skillnad mellan de vaccin som finns tillgängliga och då menar vi att det i nuläget är bättre att vi använder det vaccin där man inte ser de här signalerna, säger statsepidemiolog Anders Tegnell till TT.

Translation (my own): These are highly insecure measurements from a preliminary study – there is no established certainty. This study was recieved from Läkemedelsverket [translation: Medical Products Agency] which acknowledges there is a difference between available vaccines. Our opinion is that we currently should use a vaccine where we cannot correlate these types of indications [personal remark: relations to myocarditis], says Swedish state epidemiologist Anders Tegnell to TT [ref: media]

Authentication. It’s not always a good habbit. I recently started working on a no-code web page builder project, got bogged down in authentication, then realised I should work on the core functionality first, so I switched to that.

Edit: Before starting to code, I register a domain. It’s not a great habit because I’m now paying renewals on domains I don’t use. It builds up over the years.

Yup, pretty much. When I left industry it was almost a 100% salary bump. I tossed 2 months of PTO(because the company wouldn't pay it out, per state law and I could never take it) and I made up the difference in the first few paychecks.

First, I strongly recommend using a tiling window manager. There aren't many logistical things you can do to improve your programming output but this is one.

I used XMonad for many years and finally had to give up and switch to i3, so I would recommend using that

The first problem was that they broke my configuration file with every release. I'm not a Haskell expert so fixing it was very time consuming

The second is that their gnome integration is quite bad. Also it's different for every combination of XMonad version and Ubuntu version and eventually I hit a combination that I couldn't get to work

So it was great when it worked but it didn't always work, and I'm now a happy i3 user

Of course he can buy as many properties as he wants, and I'm sure his family is more than well taken care of. The point is he is willing to live in a tiny house so that he can be close to his life project, and not just occasionally, he spends a lot of time at Boca Chica.

Also, pragmatically, if this means that more tech workers end up relocating to Texas, this will hasten the shift in Texan politics. Most tech workers are left-leaning if only because educated people are left-leaning.

Right now there are a total of 5 houses or townhouses under $2.5M listed for sale in Palo Alto with the cheapest being a cute 1200 sq ft 3BD/2BA house for the low price of $1.68M.

The Palo Alto/Los Altos/West Menlo Park areas have fought hard to prevent housing development (NIMBY!). Recently a small number of luxury homes were built in the Barron Park part of Palo Alto. The homes sold quickly for $4.5M and up. Meanwhile, on the same small street in Barron Park, there are currently five homeless people living out of their cars and three trailer homes. They use the adjacent park's open public bathroom.

I don't think the departure of Tesla HQ will have much of an impact on the town, which is a shame. Something bad is festering beneath the pristine surface here.
"no indications" sure does lower probability, since "I know we hit a sub" is an indication.

Hmm I think this might be yet another case of colloquialisms. You could most definitely say "O Portugal é lindo" or - in full colloquial fashion - "Vamos pro Portugal".

Even for Timor-Leste, one would still use the masculine article when speaking colloquially, e.g. "Onde é o Timor-Leste?"

As for what word is masculine or feminine, yeah, it's pretty arbitrary.

The China headline example actually has another wonky case: coin in portuguese (moeda) is feminine, yet "bitcoin" is masculine. Go figure!

I somehow picked up the gendering of that word somewhere despite not having set foot in Brazil for about a decade and consuming english media pretty much exclusively for the past two decades. My guess is maybe my brother mentioned it in passing. It's weird how sensitive to learning gendering of new words we portuguese speakers are.

Ask HN: Strategies to Combat Feeling Tired?
An essential skill is the ability to work under pressure. I can handle that, but only if I feel consistently well-rested; otherwise, I get headaches and heart palpitation, and I can't manage.

I have been trying to develop a methodology to get as much rest as possible. Sleep is the best solution, but it's often elusive or inconsistent despite my best efforts, and I can't depend on it to feel fully rested every day.

My current approach is first sleeping as much as I can, taking naps when I can. Otherwise, meditate for around 10 minutes, stretch, light exercise, cool showers, eat low glycemic index foods, avoid drugs (weed, alcohol, nicotine), dry eye drops.

It feels like an oxymoron, but there must be a way to feel well-rested even during times of high stress? It feels backward to go for a Monster or Redbull and crash at the expense of your health instead of developing a system for consistent energy.

What can a developer do to avoid feeling tired and promote a sense of restfulness in the short and long term?

What do you personally do to maintain yourself for consistent output of work in different or unexpected contexts?

How are you going to get an answer from something that doesn't have brain activity? Restrictions on abortion at the point where there's significant brain activity are already allowed by Roe v. Wade.

> I just think it is perfectly reasonable to think that an abortion might be wrong beyond a certain threshold.

Please educate yourself on the actual Roe v. Wade decision. This reasoning is in fact already baked into the decision, restrictions on abortion are allowed but must be in line with the stage of the pregnancy. The states where this freedom for women is under attack constantly try to lower the bar from the reasonable threshold of viability to the more radical religious position that something vaguely human-shaped is a legal person.
As crude as this comment is, 100%.

It is sponsorship in the most literal sense: the taxes paid by the company are propping up that state's administration and its policies. It's voting with one's feet.

> There are millions of people who think this exact same thing about California.

Millions of people are also very dumb. I think most educated individuals would agree that California's politics - stance towards the environment, women, and more - are simply better. It's not even a comparison - one state:

- hastens climate change with zero regard for humanity

- denies women their bodily autonomy

The other does not. It really is that simple.

If someone can't agree that (a) the current state of climate change is bad, and (b) women deserve bodily autonomy, their opinion simply doesn't matter to me. IMO they also shouldn't be around women. In either case, we are simply too far ideologically to ever value each other's opnions.

> If someone is running a meth lab on the property only accessible by your private road, and you know about it...you're complicit in the crime.

Uh, no I am not. It is illegal to landlock someone, this is a pretty common thing in rural areas.

Let’s say I purchase all of the property between person X and the highway. Well, he has to have access to it so I have to give him a right of way. But that doesn’t make me the police. He’s responsible for what he does, not me.

Or, if you think this is a grand idea, I think landlords should be responsible for crimes committed by tenants. If you make that a co-condition of these ridiculous IP laws they’d all be dead and gone in a week…
