This is dismissive and incorrect. iFixIt, the authors of this piece, provide everything someone needs to do such a replacement: tools, parts, and in-depth user guides. I've replaced an older-generation MacBook's battery using their stuff, and it worked fine. What more do you want?
There are two main ways to do it: algorithms based on time difference of arrival and algorithms based on estimation of sound energy on a predefined grid. You can also estimate the distance but it will not as accurate as the direction.
Some corrections:

Dried fruit is drastically more concentrated than fresh fruit. By weight, fruits are largely water.

"2% or less" means each individual ingredient is under that threshold, not the sum of them.

"2% or less" also means that the following ingredients do not necessarily need to be ordered by weight.

Even if they are listed by weight, there are three dried fruits and only one salt. The sum of their weights could easily outweigh the salt.

Discussion forums (regardless of technology) are generally super useful for async communication and learning. We have tried to take a lot of inspiration from this. I think NNTP is a good example of technology rarely being a barrier if there is just enough intrinsic motivation to learn.
>old media waged on blogs in the early 2000's

That seems overblown. I can remember individual writers doing opinion pieces that, especially in retrospect, had a certain "Kids need to get off my lawn" quality to them. Various online traditional news pubs also tried to plug into the "blogosphere" in various ways.

But none of this really rose to the level of a war.

Ask HN: Why do I think better while walking?
I get better ideas (about how to solve problems) while walking around my house talking to myself rather than when I'm sitting at my work desk.

Does anyone else face this problem or know why this happens?
Because a programming language providing great async/distributed capabilities is very different from a distributed system.
I agree. I don't think anyone has gotten it right yet. There's something about Discourse that makes the messages feel transient, and I find unpleasant for an internet forum.

I'm glad an option exists that modern users find at least palatable if the alternative is _no_ internet forums. It would be far worse if all we had were Discord communities. At least Discourse is less transient than that.

Still an opportunity here I think. The feeling of persistence that classic internet forums (phpBB, xenForo, etc.) give us with modern quality-of-life features is a software I dream about building.

I don't see scaling direct air capture of CO2 beyond demo facilities until we are near zero CO2 emissions. But fixed concentrated CO2 streams should have had CO2 capture decades ago.

The problem of course is that no matter how cheap CO2 capture gets, it's not likely to beat dumping it to the atmosphere for free.
In fact, you can use some lens such as parabolic reflector but it will make the problem very complicated to solve.
I aware what the license says, but it doesn't really matter how it's worded or how we would like to interpret it, under US law, this is likely non-binding clause without a release/distribution. The fact that the license mentions release in section 5b makes it clear that either the license wasn't carefully crafted or that this particular edge case isn't what was meant in that clause. If that is what they meant, this seems to violate one of the central tenants of the FSF.

The use of the qualifier 'patent' in the license definitely doesn't clear anything up if Truth Social wasn't released for commercial consumption.

If this was released for consumers, as some above have suggested, then that's a different case, but I haven't seen any evidence of this, not that I spent much time looking.

It's still an entire procedure. You have to remove the trackpad to access all the cells.

Calling India undemocratic is definitely a stretch. But the current government is definitely more authoritarian. Considering the huge lack of respect to law and order in India, that's fair to a certain extent. Here, in the US, anti-vaxxers practically have a free reign in certain places. Any attempt to coerce them into vaccination is considered as "authoritarian".
I remember a time when people thought the social credit system was dystopic. Now it's just reality.

1. Good question. We do everything, but often there is some bottom-up demand from instructors. Either they will initially go for a self-service plan on their own, or they will push the learning technology department from the beginning to purchase licenses for broader use. The technology department often gets interested to ensure SSO, integrations and security are taken care of.

2. Somewhat. We have been able to work with all sorts of institutions, mostly in Europe and North America. We have all Danish universities as customers today, but that is also our home turf.
Are there best practices and tools for using types in Python?

I’d like some of the “compile time”/ editor checks in Java, for example, but with more type inference. Maybe only important classes or functions.

x = 1
y = foo(bar(baz(x)))

If I declare baz() with types, I’d like my editor to warn me if x is the wrong type.
Hard to say.

The Fischer-Tropsch process for making fuels was the last refuge of the desperate in the 20th century. (Nazi Germany, Apartheid South Africa)

The main trouble is that making medium-chain length hydrocarbons requires balancing on a knife edge between reactions that want to break them down to methane or build them up to polyethylene. Avoiding the first requires running at low temperatures, the second can proceed so vigorously it can blow up the container.

The result is a big machine that produces a small amount of product slowly. To justify the capital cost you really want to run it 24-7.

You'd expect something like Discourse to be heavily reliant on javascript, as the rest of the modern web is (no javascript means less data on visitors so lower value on your company) but it's totally the opposite. Not only does Discourse work well without javascript, it is actually usable.

I no longer close my tabs when I see Discourse, I just tap uBlock and the "</>" button. It may not have as many bells and whistles of the PHP forums of yore, but it works as is quite easy to use. My deepest thanks to the good hearted soul inside Discourse who in my imagination fought tirelessly for that to happen.

You’ve missed the point. I’m not saying we shouldn’t have a specification not an agreed convention. I’m saying the GP shouldn’t get so argumentative about Reproducible Builds being a standard when it’s just a specification.
I wish I could downvote. On what basis do you state this: "which is basically way more functional and has way more features than linux did pretty well" ?
I agree. It makes sense to look at ROI. It also makes sense to look at other outcomes.

At some point, I think we'll have to get serious about letting the universities collapse and providing opportunities to get the other benefits without spiraling costs. Maybe a large fraction of our grandkids will end up going to college in Estonia, which will make it their "thing" to provide high quality education for a fraction of the price. Or maybe the US will import the apprenticeship model from Germany. Or maybe remote work will become so common that it'll become normal for post high school kids to congregate in inexpensive apartment complexes with decent videoconferencing setups, companies will finally get back to investing in training their new employees, and we can call it dorms 2.0.
I wonder how practical it would be, and what the performance hit would be like, to just use WASM everywhere, since they've already built a WASM backend for their JS client? It seems like that would let them sidestep having to build everything per OS/arch, and it seems like most languages have WASM runtimes nowadays.
> It's absurd to claim that some public officials failed on their contractual obligations by not ending the pandemic despite the public delivering on their antibody obligations. It doesn't work like that.

Lmao. How is it absurd to hold some dude that claimed he s an expert when he imposed the lockdowns, vaxx mandates, and so on, responsible. If I told a client a deadline for a project and I would keep missing it citing scientific papers, bad weather, or some made up shit, I would be finished. Apparently he s untouchable because no one foresaw the way pandemic will go, except any sane person. All the sane people saw we would have to live with the virus, immunize ourselves one way or the other, and get back to normal life.

The only thing that failed is the fact that we gave power to nutjobs like fauci and empowered people like you that just love the draconian measures, the economic destruction left by the lockdowns and mandates, and love to see poor uneducated people struggle.

I don't think that anyone who uses Javascript as part of their backend stack has any room to criticize.

Nodejs is a solid server runtime these days, widely test by big companies with big traffic as their frontend servers. And there is a mature option for static typing if you want that.
Really sucks to see how awesome the new MBP is. It's too bad the CSAM scandal had to happen; never buying another Apple product again because of that shit.
Compared to ICE cars, EV car fires are not that common. There are a couple of hundred people that die in ICE vehicle related fires and around 170000 cars that catch fire every year in the US. Check here for a breakdown of ways that can happen:
https://www.consumernotice.org/personal-injury/vehicle-safet...

Here's a beautiful quote for you: "There are more than 19 vehicle fires every hour in the United States. They account for 1 in every 8 calls that fire departments respond to."

That puts the handful of burning EVs that catch the news once in a while a bit in perspective. It does happen but not that often. Even if you consider there are about 20x more ICE vehicles sold in the US, it's still quite a lot in comparison.

Anyway, lithium battery fires are comparatively slow so mostly people just get out of the vehicle. Basically, you stop the car, get out and call the firemen. Petrol tanks going boom is less common than Hollywood movies make it seem but still, they occasionally do blow up with people still inside the car. Not a good place to be when a few gallons of fuel is combusting. Hence a couple hundred casualties every year.
Yep, but that was only really possible because Scholz was an MIT-trained engineer. Without that (or equivalent knowledge from other sources) it would have been tough.

The mind works better when it's not forced. I think it's pretty common wisdom to try and load up with enough information to grasp the problem, and then leave your brain alone to do its thing. This is the same phenomenon for people having their good ideas in the shower. Usually for me its during exercise. Incidentally, I've almost never had a good idea during a meeting.
There are a lot of people who eat a lot of unhealthy things under a belief that they are healthy. I'd argue that poptarts, as you say, are probably one of the least bad offenders in this area, but as one example: the entire children marketed breakfast food industry is terrible.
You can pick up a 2015 MacBook and walk away carrying nothing else, and handle a wide variety of situations that may occur. Three things enable this: long battery life (don't need your brick); a touchpad that's not absolute hell to use for more than a minute or two at a time (don't need an external mouse); and port selection. Need something off Bill in marketing's USB stick (it'll be USB-A, almost certainly, even in 2021, let alone 2016)? Need to plug into a TV or projector, or even just a normal monitor that's not super-duper-new? HDMI is far and away your best bet, especially if you're not carrying your own cables. Photographer has some pictures for you that need to go on the web site (or you are the photographer)? SDCard reader, no problem.

That ease-of-use—just pick it up and walk away, you don't even need to think about it—is significantly weakened if you need a few special cables and dongles to be similarly-well-prepared.
I assume this thread was inspired by the other one.

I too am actually interested in the current state of PHP jobs. I previously assumed it mostly entailed working on legacy projects, which is what I do occasionally.

I have a younger friend who is primarily interested in working with PHP. I wanted to advise against pursuing it too much due to questionable future prospects, but he’s found gainful employment in a couple of PHP shops.

The knowledge is transferable to other languages anyway, so even if PHP jobs do dry up in the near future, it won’t have been a waste.
I actually read this as sarcasm and then I depressingly remembered this was actually the case. What on earth happened to computers.
I do, I use some sony MDRV6 cans when travelling or doing work. They are 10 years old and will last another 40 at least producing this reference tier sound. I think I payed $70 for these. I have no interest in airpods or crap like that, I already have their wired ones which I use exclusively for video conferencing and I know what sort of sound comes out of those.
they don't call indefinitely, the committed amount is called over a 2-3 year period. they do this because it lets them keep the IRR low (since uncalled capital isn't invested and thus not counted)

LPs generally do not want to have them take money and invest it into one thing and then another thing. they want to choose specifically what things they allocate to and nothing else.

accounting is much more complicated than closed end fund.

so essentially the way the world works means the things you are hoping for will never happen.

If one wants to limit focus only to the field of psychology, there's been a very long history of exceedingly flawed theory and experimentation, dating to the 19th century.
This is pure speculation, ungrounded from any evidence.

The touch bar is a very flexible (effectively) analog input + rich display device. If adequately supported by software it can be an amazing input, affording a range of useful functions not replicable with discrete buttons. In general, I really wish modern computers had more analog inputs available. Analog knobs, jog wheels, sliders, trackballs, etc. are tragically missing.

I have seen no evidence that Jony Ive was its patron, and no evidence that including it had anything to with making laptops expensive as a goal.

The problem with the touch bar is that (a) it only shipped on a limited subset of devices so software authors could not depend on it, (b) after its initial functions, Apple made limited effort to adopt it in all of their own software, improve its integration into the system, or push boundaries of what it could do as an input device.

> The butterfly keyboard was Ive shaving off 0.5mm of the width for a worse user experience with a higher production cost and less reliability.

No, this was some Apple-internal mechanical engineering group trying to design the best extremely thin keyboard they could, but getting bitten hard by a mismatch between reliability in a prototype vs. full-scale factory production + poor estimation of reliability in a wide variety of contexts over a longer period of time. Nobody ever set out to make a “worse experience” or higher cost.

There are many suboptimal features of the common rubber dome + scissor stabilizer laptop keyboards, and I wish more companies were brave enough to experiment with alternative designs in search of improvements.
