"It is a bit grim but I suppose we're looking to places like India and China for the next big waves of innovation in nuclear energy."

Or the next wave of chernobyls. Bangladesh is about to open their first reactor. Given how much else is not going well in that country, I would not want to live next to that thing. (and I think 1.5 million people do, who have no chance of getting evacuated in time, in case something big goes wrong).

So in general I am really not a fan of regulation - but when it comes to a energy source, where one major accident 35 years ago, and far from where I live, was enough to render the soil around here contaminated, so that collecting mushrooms and eating boar, is still advised against TODAY - then I do see the benefits of regulation.
Yes. AWS Has RDS Oracle Too It is different from Open Source where anyone could build DBaaS solution without any permission from the vendor.
>IMO the best way to deal with impact has to be at the cultural level.

IMO the only reasonable way to deal with impact is to limit the law to purely physical impact. It should never be the business of any government to attempt to regulate, mandate, restrict or punish behavior based on the thought processes or feelings of anyone.
You know what's mindblowing to me?

I remember seeing the creator of the source material here posting tech demos experimenting with this technique years ago.

Like some googling shows it was probably a demo from at least 6 years ago!

But the style was so distinct that within moments of reading the title, it clicked that it was going be that tech demo I had seen, and that the tech demo had become a game called "Townscaper"

It brought back a lot of memories, and it's amazing to see that he turned it into what looks like a very successful game years later.

It's also a testament to how unique it was, I could not think of a single "town related" rendering I had seen that was worth an entire article replicating besides his after half a decade.

I never have time for games anymore, but I'm buying a copy just as a kind of memento. It's crazy how much has changed since those days.
They didn't "copy" the Chromium dev tools, they are the Chromium dev tools. Edge is a Chromium browser, after all.
I learned about this mnemonic as a kid for doing frequency analysis on simple substitution ciphers.

(Also when I saw my first R rated movie I apparently quipped: “It should be fetaoin shrdlu”)
I'm making a game, using mostly web technologies: Necromancer's Gift - Think pokemon combat mixed with Slay the Spire map navigation

This made me wonder whatever happened to the non-traditional sleeping patterns that were in vogue in the early 2000s.

I remember reading about polyphasic sleep and how it supposedly was great to win more time.
Do you think they could have filmed that video with no driver in the seat without high risk of killing someone? Only "legal reasons" kept them from doing it, they have no ethics?

On top of that it greatly mislead people about how soon it would be, and how far along they were. Buyers who they were charging like $9,000 to at the time.
FB probably knew going into this that the other company had no chance of winning a legal battle because they haven't attempted to utilize the trademark. They simply made an offer in the hopes of avoiding some hassle, their offer was probably less than half of what a lawsuit will cost.
I think we should be angry when incompetence causes undue delays, which is what happened in New York state, for pretty much the same reason we should be angry about any incompetence. I think the idea that the delays undermine democracy are a canard (they're a canard the Democrats have employed in the past, too). Vote tabulation is complicated because we're complicated.

Yes, I think you're right, it was a pilot

I'm not sure if that means the pilot was discontinued or what amounts of money were involved.
In my book, there's some value in protecting the average Joe from the incessant dollar printing that decreases the value of the dollars in their saving accounts.

That's just one argument for Bitcoin, there are more. For example, it provides the opportunity to second/third world countries to break free from the IMF debt slavery.
Halloween display is over and set to be taken down when I have a free moment and dry day. I’m awaiting a shipment of addressable LEDs from China to expand my Christmas display.

I should probably find a radio transmitter too for the music.
The skin cream is fine if you're doing TRT. To do an actual "cycle" of high levels of test you'd be basically swimming in it. It's also crazy expensive compared to injections, and I've never seen it available "underground" and you won't find a doctor willing to prescribe you enough for anything other than TRT

U.S. Recession Probabilities September 2021: 44%
We do agree, I think.

My point is the owner is not in control of whether someone suddenly pets the dog, and it bites them.

So the warning before, is also the allowance after. Depending on circumstances the owner can only partially control.

If the warning were not also a reasonable allowance after a bad incident of the kind the owner imagines is possible, then instead of a warning the owner should be avoiding any possibility of the situation.
He is right in the figurative sense that the government's power to tax and spend in its own fiat currency is what drives demand for the currency. W. Mosler, one of the founders of MMT, has this allegory: If we are in a room full of people with a single exit and I am blocking the exit with a gun in my hand and tell you you need one my business cards to exit the room, then my business card has value.
Not really. The point is: there's always someone who has a debt in DAI they need to pay off. If they thought the dip would go even further , they would wait longer, because to them, the DAI does have value: it is what they need to get their hands on to get their collateral back.

I'm not sure what the ~deciders would say, but experimental here means something like "opt-in public beta."

Maybe you're drawing a distinction I'm missing, but it doesn't strike me as that weird to note experimental features when the goal is to entice adventurous users to put them through the paces.

Is the question more like, "why is there a release if flakes aren't ready?" In that case, yes, I think the release is more pragmatic than semantic. You can read a little more in https://discourse.nixos.org/t/nix-release-schedule-and-roadm..., but basically the release cycle stretched out long enough for a lot of backport friction to build up. To give one big example: the documentation had been converted to markdown in master, but not in 2.3-maintenance--backporting anything with documentation updates also meant re-writing the documentation changes back into docbook.

A magazine is not interactive. It's a unidirectional feedback flow. Magazine photos are also at a specific higher standard than the totality of Instagram pictures.

IOW, they are not equivalent. I'm sure we can glean something from those studies, but to get an answer to the question we're asking now, you'd need a better study than Facebook's own.

I’m slowly developing a note-taking ecosystem that’s kind of duct-tapey but works well for me. Nothing is hosted anywhere yet, but the main thing is the ideas.

I find I want to _accrete_ information, not mutate it (in most cases), so the main organisation is chronological. But tags are important to find related information and see the chronological development of one “thing”, be it a work task, a personal hobby, etc.

But here’s the big idea: information can have an expiry date so that you can use it for years and not get buried in clutter. It’s as simple as tagging, say, exp+3w to set an expiry date three weeks after creation. There are other meta-tags too, like imp+2m means the information is “important” for two months but not after that, and it doesn’t expire.

The ideas have been percolating for years, and it’s fun to finally be working on it properly, albeit in fits and starts.
It’s my go-to for Hangman or other letter-guessing games.

Love the quip :)
Most of "Chinese" pine nuts these days are from Afghanistan/Pakistan, only shipped to China for packaging.

You can easily distinguish them. Long ones are from Afghanistan, short from China, Norko, Russia
First, a very valid reply to there being "at least one anecdote (<-- sp)" is that there is a bunch of actual data on exactly the subject at hand that shows the opposite of the stated hypothesis. You don't throw out or ignore existing data just because one guy on HN got rear-ended!

Second: I think you're being too charitable. I think it's abundantly clear that grandparent believes that there is a "significant risk to other road users", and that this single data point confirms it. And clearly it doesn't.
Non-seriously my entire life. My starting weight of 155 is an indicator of that. But I was 175 when I hopped on 2 weeks ago and it's been 6 days a week for the past half year. I know it's earlier than a lot of people recommend.

The problem is that your questions are arbitrary and at best approximate the ideas of what you think a monopolist is rather than what is established in law. Merely moving the goal post doesn’t make a monopolist.

Furthermore your questions have no bearing on the company in question: a company building its own devices and ecosystem has no responsibility to facilitate onboarding of the technology of others: things which they do not know about, could never plan for and have nothing to do with their operations.
You should read the manual for the language features and debugging tools you use most. Don’t assume you know everything about Console.log because you use it all the time one way.
RethinkDB is awesome and if people cared about quality it would have done better in the marketplace
Many of the complaints about C++ really don't line up with day to day experiences using C++ IMO. They focus on problems and complexities that just don't come up often if at all unless you're really going into the weeds of implementating your own "STL-like" types.

It'd be like if every time Java is mentioned everyone just bashes how terrible JNI's API is. Yes, it is bad. It's frankly horrifying. But it's also basically 0% of where you spend your time when writing Java on the daily.

That's not to say C++ is rosey in practice, just the problems that actually get encountered on a modern code base almost never get mentioned here while all these esoteric edge cases that never come up in practice are beaten to death.

For example take C++ templates. In this thread they are slammed repeatedly. In practice you know what? They're fine. It's not that bad. Template metaprogramming is brain bending and hard, and I wouldn't suggest it. But basic templated classes or functions? No harder or more complex than the exact same thing in Java or C#. And in practice that's really all you do the overwhelming majority of the time.
I highly recommend giving the book "Where is my flying car?" a read. It is a very idiosyncratic and unconventional book, written by an engineer rather than an academic. He goes into great depth about how the FAA and NRC basically deliberately killed general aviation and nuclear energy, how this happened, and its implications regarding the "great stagnation" and the future of tech.
Self-Hosting vs. Managed Hosting – Is There a Winner?
I see the cost of and lack of awareness of development tools outside of BASIC as a bit of an advantage since it enforced focusing upon learning how to program. There were no shiny tools distracting the budding developer. When I did learn about languages other than BASIC/assembler I did my research and saved up for one of those expensive compilers, which was no simple feat having grown up in a family of limited means.

I don't know what's best for the long term growth of software developers: the mandated focus due to scarce resources or sophisticated tools that are freely available to facilitate further learning. What I do know is, "where should I start?" is one of the most frequently asked questions these days. It is a question that far fewer people had to ask thirty or forty years ago.
Ok yeah that's a whole different issue. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_desert#Urban_food_deserts
> So what is the government reporting?

The government tries to guess which prices ratchet only up (e.g. new cars) and which prices rise and fall (e.g. gasoline). They then report the inflation rate on the ratcheting goods only, because that should be more predictive of what's going to happen in the future.
> Doesn't it seem weird that through this complex system of interactions, we can recreate all of that in Code? If there was no value in it, why did we create all those institutions in the first place?

One of the primary reasons for the rise of the complex system of interactions, as you put it, is trust. A lot of financial interactions require dealing with people who might not merely not have your best interests at heart but are literally in diametric opposition to your interests--several financial transactions are inherently zero-sum. So you need mechanisms that give you trust that your counterparty will actually honor their side of the transaction.

Code fundamentally does not provide trust--indeed, you might even say it is the antithesis of trust. Even accomplished software developers are frequently unable to write code that works in edge cases or even slightly abnormal operation. For regular users, code is as opaque as if it were written in Linear B. Indeed, to popular sentiment, software is often equated with a learned notion of bugginess--people tolerate the frequent mistakes of their computers far more than we would any other piece of equipment.

And the cryptocurrency community takes their misunderstanding of trust to new levels. I mean, we're being told by people like you that we shouldn't trust the government, but instead trust code [that the lay person can't and won't understand] written by people like the owners of Tether--people who have been convicted of stealing people's money and, in the history of their own company, lied about what they were doing.

As Matt Levine put it, only in the cryptocurrency industry is "we may be charlatans who will run off with all your money" literally something people feel necessary to put in their risk prospectus.
Let’s Get Set | Founding Engineer | Remote (US) | https://www.letsgetset.co/

Let’s Get Set is an MIT- and female-founded venture-backed fintech making wealth-creation accessible to the 90M Americans making $40,000 or less. We are hiring for our second full-time hire (you!) to lead our technical development. We launched from MIT's accelerator a year ago, just closed our pre-seed round, and are one of the cohort companies in Visible Hands VC cohort, and will soon be starting another prestigious cohort (not yet public though).

We’re looking for a full stack engineer who is passionate about tech for social good, has a minimum of 2 years experience, is ready to work in Ruby on Rails, and has experience with a web app framework.

Please apply on Angellist: https://angel.co/l/2w4qCJ.

This is a unique opportunity to use tech to solve problems faced by everyday Americans, while also building a product from the ground up. We look forward to hearing from you!
>Is it morally appropriate to get together a group of your friends and pressure someone to commit suicide on social media?

You are mistaking morality with legality. Morally its wrong, legally it shouldn't be.

>I read your moral position here as "if you are too frail to resist someone's words, you don't deserve protection from their verbal abuse with malicious intent".

Again, mistaking morality with legality. I'm not the OP, but that's my legal position, though it's not my moral position.

>Societies have a long-standing tradition of restricting individual behaviors for the collective good. Wishing that societies wouldn't this is hopeless, because it seems like every society that doesn't restrict individual behaviors to some degree ends up becoming a textbook example of how not run a society.

All coherent societies restrict individual behavior for the collective good. That doesn't mean that these restrictions should be dependent on entirely subjective things like thoughts and feelings. Minimal restrictions on individual behavior such as barring interpersonal violence or stealing property are more than ample for a society to run just fine without devolving into anarchy. I would argue we already have far too many legal restrictions on behavior, and we should be seeking to trim these restrictions away instead of pile more on and strip away what few freedoms we have left.
I see this pattern used sometimes, and I agree it often makes the code more readable, but I wonder if there is any performance impact from creating and destructuring objects just to pass arguments.
I think you missed my point: There is no headwind - the net is positive.

That is to say, renewables are increasing, therefore the net velocity is positive (and accelerating). It is not 100%, so we have further to go (distance traveled).

If you want to measure the rate of change, it makes sense to benchmark against where you started and see if you are progressing.

In terms of renewable power adoption, the world is making ground, not losing it. The world on a better trajectory than it was 20 years ago, a wouldn't without the effort put in over the last few decades. There is a lot more work to do, and it is not going as fast as one might hope, but that does not negate past accomplishments.
> If anything, the company in the article is infringing on a trademark that FB has been the owner of for nearly 4 years.

I don't disagree with you here.

> if it doesn't exist,

But you don't know that, do you? And that was the intent of my original comment. We can speculate basis the available data all we want, but we don't "know know" that their product doesn't exist. And no, launch of a product is not the only benchmark here.
Note that Apple explicitly tries to prevent apps from generating any sort of overall device fingerprint besides the ad tracking identifier one which now requires user consent in iOS 14. You can still generate an app-scoped device ID though. (Not sure if these persist across re-installs of the same app or not)
That’s not true. There are great sources of documentation for anything you use. Scoped down to the specific topic and it doesn’t have to be found in a blog post or stackoverflow answer. Those are the sources that just beat the SEO game.
I’m interested to know which led ics are you buying. WS2813? What about the controller, are you DIY or off the shelf?

I’ve been using SP105E as a controller but it doesn’t have smooth fades and it takes too long to write my own firmware on a custom board to achieve that for a one off.
Well, if even a young company likes Tesla could build a sports car that is capable of going 0-60 in under 3s. What can Ferrari offer that is compelling to the market in the world of EV?
If anything, brands like Rolls Royce or Bentley stand a better chance in providing plush interior with comfortable form factor.
> One thing stopping me, for some reason, is building a user system. I don’t want to support 3rd party login systems and I’m also having trouble getting motivation to roll my own.

By the way, Slash of Code looks great — just purchased a set and will be working on it this weekend. :)
>They may not be in production yet, but they are asking $200k for the Roadster (and $250k for the founders), which might be the super car I presume parent is talking about

Well, that's the problem. Claiming that the car that isn't even in production yet has "underbraking" issue is misleading at best.

Regardless, I don't think that person was talking about the upcoming Roadster, because they added a link as a citation in "having their $200k super car be criminally underbraked. [2]", and [2] is a link to a video review of Model S Plaid by a big car youtube channel. I have no idea why they linked that specific video, because it was a glowing review of the car. The reviewers were giddy and threw tons of praise at it in pretty much every aspect.
What if they think DAI is going to go to $0?
