Its a nice idea. There'd be no ending or beginning to worry about. Everything would be self-contained.

But I don't believe that our universe is neither unique, neverending, or cyclical.

I believe that our universe is just one of many, that exists on a super-dimensional plane (or substrate - not sure what word to use), where 'universes' continously appear and disappear, like bubbles in boiling water.

Every one of these universes will have different sets of laws, or rather, the laws will be tweaked differently, depending on the exact conditions of how they form.

Most will not be valid. They will 'pop' or implode near instantaneously. Some will not have the right values for constants like gravity and speed of light.

But every once in a while, there will be a universe where the laws are just perfect for what we see in our universe. A place where stars and planets can form. Where the right elements appear, and life as we know it is possible.

1.13 kw/h per pound of coal burned.

260 lbs of coal enables processing of 1 ton of co2, of which about 500 lbs is captured as carbon flakes.

You could burn coal, producing 525 lbs of co2 for the energy needed to process 1 ton of co2 in total, so you end up capturing 375lbs more carbon than is produced. 125lbs of the carbon flakes come from the coal, the other 50 lbs of carbon in the coal is lost as byproducts and inefficiency.

So running this process, even on pure coal, sequesters 2.75 to 3 times as much carbon as it produces as co2.

I'm not surprised, but could you provide some references on this...I am curious to read.
I agree, but sometimes I hear other theories. One of the other comments said something about unsanitized water providing b12. In the past I've heard that just eating dirty fruit and vegetables had enough b12.
You're making a lot of assumptions here, some of which are incorrect in my opinion.

If anything, WSL is making Linux more irrelevant as a development environment, and Windows 11 is going to take this to the next level (take a look at Hanselman's demo video [1]).

Yes, production runs in majority on Linux but development happens massively on Windows. With macOS a distant second and Linux barely used as desktops.

Well I suppose that's that.

For what it's worth I have passing familiarity.

Taken from wikipedia:

> The people who continued with Ethereum Classic advocate for blockchain immutability, and the concept that "code is law" against the pro-fork side (Ethereum) which largely argued for extra-protocol intentionality, decentralized decision-making, and conflict resolution.

Ethereum Classic clearly believes in code is law, that's not the chain that Vitalik works on.

It absolutely does not provide the same guarantees, and I've covered why in several posts now. Do you believe that people who disagree with you have never used any language other than Rust before? Having to deal with data structure invariants getting violated due to reflection is a huge headache and makes the parsers way less useful than they would be otherwise.
I feel like a national government would be the last org to need to worry about licensing software, given lawsuits won’t do much and nobody’s going to start a war over it.

I don't think the style of the buttons was the point of OP's comment - they're useless on an image, is all.
you can and this is done by betting on the competition, but since theranos was not a publicy traded company you couldnt short it. All though you could short the VC investing in them or could short Bond if they floated the bonds on the bond market.
You are doing something very wrong. Look at that median and ask yourself: Why would you compare yourself to median income if you have 20 yoe and two books? That is far more than the median SWE has accomplished. You are paying a lot in opportunity cost for whatever you are doing now.

Of course, it could be worth it! That’s for you to decide.
Breathing and aerobic bacteria and oxidizing reactions all throughout the chemistry of life. This is a great line of thought, though - would increasing local oxygen concentrations possibly result in negative outcomes elsewhere? Acid rain or maybe ozone increases, etc?
True. Unfortunately, adding a watermark might not encourage many people to use it widely without attribution.

That being said Carbon does allow you to add watermark to them. I wonder how many actually use that watermark.
Nope. No redefining required.

I don't think you're replying to anything I said at this point.
I agree with you, but consider the possibility of donating the difference to a political organisation whose aim it is to eliminate shady behaviour by companies.

There's a broader spectrum to donation than just donating to the poor.
I thought it was cool since American websites have been blocking European countries for years now.
Adding up digits doesn't tell you if a number is prime. You need to factorize it in order to know that for sure, and for that you need to try all suitable factors by hand or use an elimination algorithm like the sieve of Eratosthenes, which would quickly become too unwieldly for large numbers though.

I don't recall the prime number counting from the books. I think they just included it in the show to convey that Dornick is a math genius, as reciting large primes like she does is incredibly hard.
No. Aspirin lowers the risks of COVID - i.e. once you get it. The "risk of COVID" means the chance of getting COVID, which this trial says nothing about.

That people make a lot of noise about an issue doesn't change or negate the fact that it is an issue, and that people and organizations are indeed working on fixing it. If you haven't heard about an issue outside of a particular context, perhaps that is just related to the channels you are monitoring rather than the reality of the work being done on the ground.

Your link shows that a lot of money is being spent, but not nearly enough, or perhaps in the wrong places. The ~$3000 per capita spending numbers are laughably small. People on average are going to use more than that per year. So the question is: how is that money actually distributed? Who is getting more than they need, because plenty are going without enough. Social programs are famously not very well funded, so your argument that social welfare programs are swimming in "gargantuan" levels of cash doesn't ring true to me, and the numbers you show bear that out. Like I said, expect people (like yourself) to balk at requests to increase funding in social programs. Usually the number one response I will get from legislators is that the already spend enough as is, why do they need to spend more?

My wife was a social worker for a number of years, so I got to see how "social welfare" is actually spent. From what I witnessed inside the social work industrial complex, a number of corporations have sprung up that work to milk this government money without ever actually helping anyone in the process. They will hire social workers to visit people in need of crisis management or some other social service, but essentially their job is to just fill out reams and reams of paperwork leaving no time to actually help anyone. The corporation gets a huge stack of state dollars, the social worker gets a mere $14.00 for their hour, and the person in need is left wanting and in need. It's a difficult system to change because there are entrenched interests now dependent on the revenue stream. If you want in on that money, you're going to need the same lobbying power as these corporations.
You're assuming that the person in this scenario ever actually lived in the US. You can get an American citizenship without ever actually living there, which will then just make your life harder and if you want to make your life easier, that'll be $2350.

I am mostly thinking of B7, because I know 2 persons in my family who get seriously depressed when they lack it.

Note that I did not say it is impossible to get these through a vegan diet, just that it takes some efforts and care to have the daily dose necessary to avoid a deficit.

Yes, I agree that almost no one calculates their nutrients intake, but when you go full vegan, you remove more than half of your food diversity, it opens yourself more easily to deficits.

> From what I can tell, in practice some amount of nutritional deficiency just isn't that big a deal for most people. College kids that live on a diet of 80% ramen still survive relatively well

People with mild depression survive relatively well, and this is what is discussed here.

I used to have very bad dietary habits when I was working like crazy at my first job, and managed to get a deficiency in vitamin C. As I was young and in good conditions, it did not trigger any medical problem, but I can tell you that my quality of life improved greatly after I started taking vitamins (and later just rebalancing my diet a bit). It was removing a constant fog from my brain.

I think this is a reason why so many pseudo-scientific dietician advice abound: "surviving relatively well" is not a good enough criterion anymore, yet that's what the medical research focuses on. Well-being is also something that people seek to achieve. Being more alert, more focused, less depressed, less stressed are things that a diet can have an influence on, and the scientific data on that is pretty scarce.
It's possible to turn them off too
There must be an error in the math somewhere...

This could greatly improve the efficiency of burning coal.

Let's say you burn a ton of coal, (assume pure carbon for this example) getting 2460 kWh of power, per ref: [1]

You then put the resultant 3 2/3 ton of CO2 through this process, at a cost of 843 kWh, recovering 920 kg of carbon.

You've now consumed net 80 kg of carbon, generated 2460-843 --> 1617 kWh of electricity, for a net of 20,212 kWh/ton of Carbon burned.

This page [1] says a ton of coal gives 2460 kWh of electricity

Ask HN: Which software/tools would you send your past self?
No. A passport says what country must take you when other places decide to deport you or refuse you entry.
Presumably when it is shown beyond a reasonable doubt that they conspired or deliberately overlooked the fraud. The prosecutor has every incentive to get participants to roll over and follow the conspiracy as high up the ladder as it goes. Successfully prosecuting such a large profile case, particularly with defendants with very little public sympathy, would make his/her career.

I don't believe it's fixable at all if you're using someone's third-party library that wasn't designed for GSON (unless something has changed a lot since I last used it). The annotation has to be stuck on the original field, AFAIK. And similar stuff apply to other invariants on the type. I believe these kinds of issues are somewhat fundamental when you decide you're going to start (de)serializing structures that never thought about whether or how they'd like that to happen.
Can you point to science that empirically demonstrates that the universe didn't come from absolutely nothing?

No, right? So the idea that nothing can come from nothing, is based on an assumption.

Which was the entire point of the comment you responded to, if I'm not mistaken.
My issue is when the display it self is 1440p. Then you are stuck with downscaling 4k 60 fps (because 4k 120 is too much for PS as well as required HDMI 2.1) or upscaling 1080p 120fps which doesn't look that great.
Not necessarily. While Epic has an interest in selling unreal they would also benefit from people selling

From what I've seen architects are alongside engineers, not above. Also depends on what kind of architect - solution architecture tends to be a completely separate track, etc.
If I told you that it's extremely unlikely that you would die by rhino attack while going on a vacation to southern Africa, and your answer to that was "tell that to the family of X random guy who got trampled to death", as a reason for why you think i'm insane for saying you shouldn't be paranoid about African vacations, your argument would be obviously derided for being obsessive about focusing on only one abnormal thing. But apply the same logic to COVID and suddenly you think it's perfectly valid. It isn't. The vast majority of people who get the illness recover completely, and if you exclude the elderly, the statistical odds of recovery increase immensely. For the very young, they really are in the range of hundreds of thousands to one against dying.

If VAERS is to be believed, the odds of dying from it are about 1 in 11,000. Relative to other vaccines, that is astronomical, and is far worse than a "sore shoulder". I'm not sure it qualifies as "very few, very rare" either. I know all of the issues with VAERS, but the truth is somewhere in between the CDC's official position that no one has died from the vaccine, which is preposterous on its face, and the VAERS numbers, which currently stand at 16,310 deaths [1] out of ~180 million vaccinations.

IMO, the reason for the hesitancy is the heavy handedness with which it is being pushed, and the obvious lies of the CDC. When the CDC says that it can't be proven that anyone has died from the vaccine, and then there are multiple credible news reports of healthy, relatively young people dropping dead from it, it calls into question everything else they say. They don't want to admit these things because they don't want to alarm people, but IMO coming out and saying "it kills and injures some people, but the benefits outweigh the risks for many groups" would be the right approach. It's the lying that's the problem. Even reporting adverse events based on the total number of doses administered, and not on the number of people that have received doses, is specifically intended to mislead and cut the real statistics in half. It just all looks terrible, and people assume they are lying about everything when they lie or obfuscate obvious things.

The Andrei's book that made me aware of the language was published in 2010.

In 2021 Java and C# aren't the same languages as in 2021. The midori team rejoined .NET and has brought many of the learnings into .NET Core, since C# 7.0, C# has been surfacing CLR features that were only available to C++/CLI, and .NET 7 (yeah still one year away) will finally fix the whole ongoing AOT story.

There are runtimes like Meadow for embedded development, runing on top of NuttX.

Java has been feeling the pressure of languages like Go, and also so also improving its value types, GPGPU programming and AOT story. Also supports embedded development and there is that phone OS out there, even if the language is a subset of the real deal.

C++20 has taken most of the top selling D features (auto, modules, if constexpr, ranges,...), even if in a more clunky way, as always. Then GPGPU programming has made it the SQL of graphics programming.

While many argue that Go isn't a systems programming language, others ship compilers, GC, unikernels, Nintendo Switch games, and even firmware written in Go.

Rust has been gaining steam across Linux kernel, the OSes from Amazon, Google, Microsoft, ARM.

Meanwhile D is still trying to find its niche, without offering the ecosystem of the languages above.

The community is great, the language could have been a deal changer 10 years ago, specially when Facebook and Remedy Games played with it (imagine Unity with D instead of C#), but now I fear it has lost the opportunity.
First, life isn’t all about money. Although, If you don’t enjoy what you do you, it’s probably best to find something else.

Second, people make things like this all the time (anyone remember the million dollar web page where ads sold by the pixel?) - that doesn’t necessarily mean anything for you or me. It certainly doesn’t mean we should all be endeavoring to create the next PR sensation.

Finally, be careful what you wish for.

From personal experience.

There are a few out there, some have been shutdown for some reason, some seem to be not working and ones which promise think kind of feature are paid. So I needed a 30seconds clip from a 40mins video and not something that I need that frequently that I want pay a monthly subscription for. I ended up using youtube-dl and with a lot of trial and error of various custom commands to finally get what I wanted.

Computer languages are like people: some remain successful throughout their lives, some fade into obscurity after an initial popularity, some bloom in middle age, some are excellent but never gain a following and so forth...

It's too late to pronounce any language dead. Not only is it hurtful to those who use the language, the pronouncement may also be wrong! :-)

For example, one of the languages that I really like is OCaml. You could say that OCaml is a super niche language like D. It's kinda undergoing a renaissance today with the upcoming OCaml 5.0. Some important software is written in OCaml e.g. Coq, pyre-check, flow, rescript, infer etc. I see OCaml remaining relevant and excellent in the years ahead whether or nor it amasses a huge following.

In other words, the number of people using a language is just one of the metrics you should use to assess the language. D has shown a long term resilience that is amazing. The language has been steadily improving and getting refined for a very long period of time which is admirable. So many open source projects run out of steam in a couple of years! Not the case with D!

D has a native, gcc and llvm backend. Quite amazing huh!?

One thing I would say though about D: The language needs to decide who it wants to be.

Go wants to be minimalist garbage collected language with a good concurrency/parallelism story. Rust wants to be a safer C++ with full control on memory. Java wants to be object oriented and garbage collected.

Because its mission is not clear, it ends up trying to please everyone but delight no one!

The day D decides what it wants to be _and_ this message comes from top leadership it will become much more successful! D can still achieve a lot in the future...I am rooting for D to be more successful in 2020s and beyond!

I do, I see no reason to think such a being exists, absent extraordinary evidence, and inventing one seems absurd to me.

Why must god be the first element? Why must there even be a first element?

People don't try to disprove god by askingwhat created god, they are trying to invalidate a particular argument that is used by those who do believe - that the universe must have been created by some original force because it is so huge/amazing/complex, and we'll call that force god. But there is no reason it must have been, and if we imagine there is such a thing, there is no particular reason to stop there other than that semantically you have decided to call it the first. Because if the universe was created by a huge/amazing/complex god, then by the rules of your own argument we ought to look for a deeper cause.

So yeah ... it's not a 'disproof' of god, so much as pointing out that that specific argument relies on some dodgy assumptions and is not any sort of proof of god, nor justifies belief in one in any way.
