That's too bad :-( That's a failing of the Lynch film too. You were supposed to have read the book.
People who have little, have little to lose in an inflationary environment. People who have any meaningful quantity of means invest them, and any investment other than holding a fist full of cold hard dollars isn't affected by inflation, although its real return may vary depending on how the underlying performs.

Further lower income folks tend to have a disproportionate amount of their net worth in debt instruments, and debt holders win in an inflationary environment.

> TL;DR: BTC could come in handy when printer goes brrrr.

That's not generally speaking what causes hyperinflation. It's caused by the population rejecting the currency.
Than Mac? I don’t know if that’s true. The average user knows almost nothing about how to use their Mac from my anecdotes of running a virtual coworking community and trouble shooting people’s stuff.
These benchmarks are quite general and good measurement of how high performant apps behave when running on different kernels. This advantage probably translates to other workloads as well.

At the least, these results show that software vendors could improve the performance of their applications by porting to linux.
Never had a good opinion of PHP personally, but wow, you do know it's used in some very big and successful companies and solutions right?
The problem is that it entices people who couldn't have cared less before money was dangled in front of them to participate in the lawsuit for that reason only.

Someone at a law firm deciding that "hey, we could make a lot of money suing Kellogg, now let's go find a reason to do it" is not what I'd consider an appropriate use of the legal system.
The textilist seems to be accusing NPR of not mentioning her, but Martha herself said she couldn't find anyone to make them. Was @RealSexyCyborg in contact with NPR? Or Martha? If anything, it seems the article itself is meant to encourage someone to provide the help that @RealSexyCyborg admits she needed someone else to do. How many others were contacted by Martha but couldn't produce the product at the end? Does each require an explicit mention?

Then the accusation that this effort was omitted because she wasn't a white tech bro is out of left field and frankly, very unlikely. NPR regularly goes out of its way to provide viewpoints and credit well outside the "white tech bro" sphere.
Looking around, I see Shamnad Basheer was found dead in a car. Is there evidence of how that happened?

I have never touched a hidpi display, but using multiple monitors has worked quite well for me, both on desktop machines and laptops. Including attaching a display on a running desktop session.
I enjoy and recommend carrying foam earplugs; they're small and light; it saved me a couple of times from uncomfortable audio levels.
The problem is 1 of 2 things are going to happen:

1. Wealth concentration continues.

2. We find better ways to tax rich people.

Look at how private equity is bidding up housing prices. or Bill gates is buying up mega amounts of farm land.

I'd be curious if there's a tax that effects wealthy people that the author likes?

I think we need to manage the gap between rich and poor.

Linux dev here, I worked on and fixed lots of Hibernate-related bugs. Abandon all hope: Hibernation (S4 suspend) is absolutely horrible to debug and test, you can't easily put this in a CI system without delaying your testing by 100000%, and hibernating is generally a bad idea since booting is so fast and S3 suspend is also so good these days. Just change your workflow, avoid the pain.

Why? It seems people are packing large events without issue.
For a concrete example, I just checked CNN's website, and the top article is about a pretrial ruling by the judge in the Kyle Rittenhouse case that the prosecutors should avoid using the word "victim". I don't see any plausible argument that this is the most important news story in the country this morning - if you had only 5 minutes to read the news, you'd be much better served by their articles about Facebook's ranking system or progress on Covid vaccine approval for kids. But it very well might be the most provocative!
The amount of insinuations, accusations and anti-American/tech/white/male/journalism sentiments packed into such a small thread is incredible.

It's a news story about a health patient, yet Naomi seems to expect NPR to act as Martha's personal insurer and care advocate. Would it have been better if NPR didn't publish it at all? Then Naomi would never have been given the chance to virtue signal for exposure. Lose-lose.
ls doesn't do colours by default, but a lot of distros alias `ls` to `ls --color=auto` so it seems that way.
This is about how Microsoft marketed it.
Go look at the packaging that says 'made with real fruit' & has pictures of strawberries. There are millions of Americans that see that and have decided that it's a healthier choice than the instant oatmeal (without any fruit) sitting next to the poptart.

We've all been told to eat more fruits and veggies, so isn't this a healthier choice?
I agree and that's the reason I unsubscribed also. I just don't have the time!

Although I suspect the reason is that he's got an extremely fast turnaround, and doesn't have the additional time to distill all those thoughts into shorter articles. He should hire some (more?) editors.
I think with some filtering it definitely could be.
The fact that we are still discussing ICE cars proves my poity. The first electric care was built 120 years ago and London had an Electric Bus company (!) in year 1903.

Like most of us on HN, our use cases are not even remotely similar to the majority of users out there who end up using junky, inexpensive USB Ink Jet printers bought at retail outlets like BestBuy or Walmart, which use proprietary bloatware to up-sell them subscriptions to ink replacement and photo printing services. At best, you might be able to find a very basic driver on Linux that speaks compatible Postscript in order to print b&w PDFs.

Or they're in a corporate environment with a much more "enterprise" printer. And again, the IT staff will want to image the same proprietary printer software that hooks into Active Directory on all the clients.

Maybe a small percentage of Linux-savvy admins out there would be able to figure out the correct set of drivers and packages to install that would allow a standard RHEL or Ubuntu laptop to print and scan basic PDFs, but unless the company has a lot of users all using the same Linux distro and version, good luck as it will be a game of whack-a-mole to keep separate distros working every time there's a Kernel upgrade.

I'm a single user on a Mac using a well-researched and highly rated Dell Laser printer. It does work on Linux (and Mac) and has great Postscript support, even over the network.

But 50% of my use is to scan PDFs with optical recognition (I believe that allows the PDFs to be text-searchable instead of just scanning a pixel-image of the documents). And I doubt that function works on Linux, as it requires proprietary Dell software to do the enhanced OCR scanning vs just image scan.
I have...been asked maybe one of these questions, and that when I was interviewing for an internship at a defense contractor. None of the others have ever come up. Even the place that used DDD (badly) didn't ask about it during the interview.

Now, to be fair, I -have- asked if a person is familiar with CAP. But only as a way to determine if that is a relevant communication framework for discussing distributed problems/solutions; a "I haven't" isn't a ding against them, but a place to provide some context for the upcoming questions around distributed system tradeoffs.
Not a 'coder' coder per se. I'm a biomedical engineering researcher, which so happens to involve writing a lot of code. :)
The parent comment was correct. The app, in and of itself, is just a tool. Your comment gives this away by including the clause "and the associated regulation".

That being said, it is a tool built for a single purpose. "Papers, please".

If we're lucky, the scope of use for this tool will not expand. I don't like having to get lucky.
People work at companies for a variety of reasons. You never know if you're hiring someone who hated the culture of Oracle but wanted a job in their region working on DB technology.

Or they come in via acquisition, or Oracle was simply the only job which would take them at their current pay - or they were ignorant of the reputation.
> The arrogance of articles like this talk is to down to the "stupid people" who believe in such things.

I didn't read condescension in this article. What I read was a defense of innate rationality, and an attempt to understand why otherwise rational human beings (i.e., all of us) get sucked so easily into conspiratorial thought.
Hmmmm. I could have sworn it was gate capacitance that the surface area is for. But you're right. I got it backwards. Capacitance grows with surface area.

I remember that surface area of the gate was __very important__, and is the key driver of all of these new and interesting shapes we're seeing. But I seem to have err'd on the reasoning behind that.

baybal2's point about the "strength of the field" seems to be correct. That would mean that surface area would cause the field-effect to turn on faster / stronger?? (aka: lower Ohms / resistance when on, and less energy to reach the on-state)

Well... that's if I'm remembering the physics correctly this time, lol.

-------

EDIT: A FET (field-effect transistor) is the type used in CMOS arrangements. Most people will use BJTs in their undergrad studies, with maybe some FETs.

FET has a gate, source, and drain. The "gate" turns on the source->drain in nMOS (or drain->source in the case of pMOS). The more voltage you put on the gate, the lower the resistance of the source/drain gets.

Its called the "field effect" because the electrical field on the gate (caused by literally shoving electrons into that location), causes a negative-charge to radiate out from the gate. This charge then allows the source/drain (two pins that are nearby) to go from high-resistance (aka: 10kOhms or something) to low-resistance (maybe 0.1 Ohms).

The assertion by bybal2 is that the surface area at the gate is more about the field effect rather than capacitance. Which is... probably correct.
Alcohol is legal bc fermentation is easy so restrictions fail, not bc its harmless. Weed is by comparison harmless but easy and lucrative to enforce laws against. The reason for legalization isnt bc drugs are good, its abt the emerging economic dynamic with drug dealers and drug enforcement.
drugs have become a profit center for the state and it has created perverse incentives that do not benefit the end user or society.
> Weren't you the one who brought up the question in the first place?

Apologies if I was unclear. I was referring to the parent's statement that "fortunately, in Bitcoin whale ownership does not imply control over the network. Fortunately, Bitcoin is PoW and not PoS."

My retort was that whales in Bitcoin control such a disproportionate share of the currency that if they wanted to control the network itself too, they could simply buy the miners which isn't really too dissimilar from staking in a proof of stake coin. My understanding is that each mining pool provides roughly the same security as a PoS validator.

When I replied "however, that wasn't really the question at issue," what I meant that the "greenness" wasn't really the crux of my reply, rather I was suggesting that network control falls to those with the most coins regardless of whether you're operating PoS or PoW, the only difference is whether resources are consumed or not along the way.
Farm runoff (specifically roundup) is one of the greatest dangers humanity faces but absolutely no one is willing to talk about it. The ocean is the largest co2 sink in the world and we’re killing everything that allows that to occur with commercial biocides.
it seems pretty obvious to me that "strawberry poptarts" means "strawberry _flavored_ poptarts".

"To me" being a native English speaker who has grown up in a culture where "strawberry" means a strawberry hasn't ever been within ten miles of that box of pop tarts? I mean, is that how far we've come? Just assume that what's literally printed on the box is a scam?
> I mostly agree, except for "The Good Guys" part.

That's why I had "The Good Guys" in quotes :) We're supposed to root for the Foundation/Second Foundation, but it's clearly presented as the best of two evils. People, being people but better than 30,000 years of anarchy.
Or salts left over from brine extraction, which is a frequent method of lithium extraction (and other resources, too).
Sometimes if you can discover what motivates a person then expose it to then, in the light of day it loses it's power. A lot of arguments in couple's counselling resolve this way.

Personally, I see code as a fluid entity. If me spending a few minutes to find a way to unblock something that you claimed to "bring you to your knees on the zeroeth step" is a waste of time, then I guess you and I just have different ideas of what software is. For me, I don't see much value in simply putting up with some barely working codebase out of some sense of historical puritanism; if I'm diving into a codebase, the goal is to improve it, and if jshint or some other subsystem is hopelessly broken for whatever reason, it may well get thrown out in favor of something that actually works.

You may disagree that the way NPM does things works well enough to be widely adopted (and dare I say, liked by many), or that true reproducibility is a harder problem than merely committing files, but by and large, the ecosystem does hum along reasonably well. Personally, I only deal with NPM woes because others find value in it, not because I inherently think it's the best thing since sliced bread (in fact, there are plenty of aspects of NPM that I find absolutely atrocious). My actual personal preference is arguably even less popular than yours: to avoid dependencies wherever possible in the first place, and relentless leveraging of specifications/standards.
I don't, I always follow whatever convention the langue/code base uses.

I'm just saying like GP I'm shallow and prefer C style identifiers where it makes sense to.

My bad. GP was about desktop icons, not start menu launchers.

Yes, that's a nice feature, but it's not a regular thing consumers need to do. Most Linux software is packaged much more nicely. For example, VSCode, Steam, Chrome are available as debs/rpms and when you install them, they all create their own launchers. Heck, VSCode and Steam are in Ubuntu's snap repo (that you can access from the Software store) by default. Chrome and Steam are in Fedora's 3rd party repos standard.

Needing to go through an extra step or two for a non-standard Java tool doesn't say much about Linux, especially for the average person. Last time I used Java, all the Eclipse add-ons were installable through the IDE.
I think GP was meaning they don't use Oracle products
There's a features page on their website that shows some more tricks it can do, like smarter file type colouring, generating a tree view and showing the git status of files.

I'm still not entirely convinced that it's a must-have, but it's more than just ls with fancy colours.

Personally, I'd much rather have seen an output format like JSON as a feature instead, so you can do some easier scripting through exa and jq. I'm sure there are other tools out there to serve thst purpose, though.
Not much:

> the currently checked-out revision and a flag indicating whether edited or untracked files are present

Basically, it's including a git commit ID, which is a hash, and flags that indicate if there are local changes.

It's pretty common to include build hashes in shipping code, logs, ect.

What makes this democratically elected government authoritarian?

India is surrounded by communist China, Islamist Pakistan, Afganistan, Bangladesh (where only a couple of days ago 300 Hindus were murdered by Islamist for no reason), Military dictatorship in Myanmar.

I do not know what benchmark you use for authoritarianism.
Aren’t most Linux UIs largely copying or being strongly influenced by Windows? Not saying Windows has done anything special in a while. I don’t know what innovations Linux has done in the past decade either though.
>Sure, in the ’80s, it might have been possible for one person to do it all: systems administration, database, coding, design. But in today’s world, database administrators, infrastructure engineers, coders, designers, project managers and others — whether on staff, on contract or with a vendor or service provider — must work together to execute projects quickly, securely and reliably. Tech today is a team sport.

I find actually the opposite to be true. The leverage of individual engineers is only growing with the advent of SaaS and the proliferation of API's. Then of course there are the stories of small engineering teams with Unicorn exits, e.g. Instagram, WhatsApp, etc.
GR is hard to understand, because it uses wrong postulates. A medium (Higgs «field») is present everywhere, so we can use it (or CMB) as 0 point.

BB is wrong theory because photons are not immortal things, they are losing energy with time, thus H0(s) are representing rates of loss for different frequencies. Our local group of galaxies is expanding, because we are falling into Great Attractor and Shapley Attractor, but it's coincidence.

QM can be reproduced and studied at macro scale using walking droplets or air bubbles in water bubble in microgravity.

Honestly, every time I answer this question, it's a bit like when the Joker answer's how he got his smile (i.e. the answer is different every time, hahah).

In the end, I think what it boils down to is that I wasn't happy doing it, and I found something else that I felt more passionate about and found a way to do that instead. (while retaining some of the medical context which would set me apart from my peers in the new profession).
What does it mean to be "backed by" carbon captured?

Talk of backing a currency traditionally refers to some mechanism that guarantees people will continue to value it in the future:

- a currency is "backed by gold" if it is exchangeable for hunks of metal by whoever holds some of it (the future value of those hunks being taken as granted)

- a currency is backed by a government if that government guarantees that the currency will remain sufficiently scarce and that it will be a/the means of paying taxes due to that government.

In this case, though, you just mean that a coin is minted each time a ton of co2 is sequestered, right? And you would need some other mechanism to generate demand for the coins?
Again, what's the point in your last statement? You explain your nebulous statement and then sign off as though I'd said your explanation was nonsense.

It sounds as though even a superficial thinking through of mechanisms has stopped you talking about how we worship IP creators, which is great. It's just a mechanism to allow investment in invention to reap rewards before others can compete. You might think that's a bad idea; what's your better idea?
Another thing that tingles my mind: it's easy to describe numbers that are likely to be transendential (just define a turing machine that spews out digits by some more or less chaotic algorithm – most would agree that it seems extremely unlikely, that the output would correspond to some algebraic number by chance!), it's just hard to PROVE that they are.

When we're talking about strong type systems and classes of bugs eliminated just because the program compiled (a la OCaml, Rust, Haskell)... yes, newer is better.

Your argument isn't universal; something being older doesn't say much about its quality either.
I've been using linux daily for over a decade. Pop_os! is the only distro that almost entirely works 100% straight out of the box for most things. This has been the case across 4 high end laptops (dell xps, surface book 2, and something something lenovo, I forget which).

Manjaro, vanilla arch, deviant and Ubuntu all had some difficulty or other, though my objections to Ubuntu are more related to software decisions rather than hardware support. In that case, it was roughly on par, perhaps slightly behind pop_os in terms of out of the box experience.
