Kurzgesagt made a video about it, and they say, and I agree with them, the answer can only be political pressure: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiw6_JakZFc

They also mentioned the stat that if 1 person lived totally carbon neutral for 70 years, that would offset only 1 second of current global CO2 emissions, which I'm going to presume is sourced properly.

I'm not very optimistic. Politicians follow the polls and go with what's popular, and if the people living in the rich nations have to pay more to fly to Asia for cheap holidays, and iPhones, etc, get more expensive because of carbon tax, the majority probably won't support the governments and will instead vote in populist idiots that will make things "great again". In the poorer countries, being told that the decades-old luxuries they've envied from richer nations will cost more because of government policies will also not be popular, never mind that the policies are meant to save the future.
This was the first thing that jumped out at me as well. I've worked on govt. contracts and when you put >1 contractor on the same project they become competitors. They will sabotage each other in the hopes of winning a larger share in the future. And beyond that they have absolutely no incentive to help each other. Their managers aren't going to pay them to make the other contractors code work better.
This article absolutely blows. How is this front page material?
I have a theory that wiki sites are what killed the WoW MMO formula, rather than mechanics fatigue.

Players descend like locusts, then optimize and share their builds until they discover some emergent tug of war or rock paper scissors meta.

What remains is a cat & mouse game between players and developers, to find the reductive meta and then patch the game to shake it up. The players are highly coordinated thanks to wikis, and they consume content quicker than devs can create it. So the business model is no longer viable.

It's not that simple unfortunately. Basically, as I understand it, your body(liver) puts out a call for energy and whatever happens to pick up the signal first will respond. In the same way you can't spot reduce fat (can't choose where you want to lost fat from).

So this means, unfortunately, you will lose muscle while losing fat. Fortunately it is significantly more difficult to extract protein from muscle, so it responds much more slowly than fat.

The minimum seems to be about 40 g (~150 Cal) of protein per day (I don't remember where I got this number, sorry.), but can be as high as 10-30% of Calories supplied by the body.

There are a lot of things you can do to counter and minimize most this though. Working out to signal to your body the muscle mass is still in use and protein shakes (no fat, no carbs) are the most obvious.

Horizontal scrolling multi-column was a weird aesthetic choice based on personal preference (despite bad and growing worse browser support, sigh), but it's a personal blog and as "a 90s web kid" I strongly believe weird aesthetic choices are what makes blogs personal and not just another walled garden like most of social media (or Medium).

I really wish they wouldn't use obscure American expressions for these article titles.
Those houses—actually the land that they're built on—are expensive nowadays because living in the urban city is cool again.

Up until ~2000 it was not so, because living in the city was for immigrants and all the WASPs moved into the innter/outer suburbs with their white picket fences. The area of the links is where the Poles concentrated; to the west were the Ukrainians; to the east is Little Portugal (then onto Chinatown); to the north-east is Little Italy. Toronto is a good example of what Jane Jacobs saying 'you don't live in a city, but in a neighbourhood':

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_neighbourhoods_in_Toro...

And the reason why Toronto (SW Ontario) is so expensive, especially since 2015, is because we've had so much immigration in the region, but housing hasn't kept up by pure volume (regardless of density or other factors).
I don't see how "bad" moral decisions about abortion would affect future generations: people may have better judgement in the future, nothing prevents them from effectively eliminating abortion.

The thing with climate change, as it is postulated, is that there might be no next generations, or that they will be severely limited in their moral choices by civilization collapse.

So putting both on the same desk is really misleading.

Interesting, I didn't know that the memory latency was worse. The bandwidth is still much higher right? In your estimation how much of the perf gains of the M1 chip are due to the increased memory bandwidth vs other optimizations/advancements?
Holly mother of God. Mitchell was still on HN yesterday, as he was replying something about Backblaze IPO and its business. Today it is his IPO,

$259 million revenue. 2100+ Customers, 1500+ employees, $10 Billion Valuation.........

I mean I felt it wasn't that long ago Vagrant was "the" tool for the job.

How it all started, the submission on HN [1], quote:

>This project has been the love child of myself and John Bender (nickelcode.com) for the past 6 weeks. We're both daily HN readers and would like to use this as a starting point to show Vagrant to the public. Specifically, I'd like to open up to any questions and feedback, so that the HN community can get to know Vagrant. Your feedback is extremely valued. Thanks!

>A bit of background on this project: I work at a development company (citrusbyte.com) in LA. I see new projects almost every couple months, and I'm often working on multiple projects simultaneously due to work, freelance, and personal projects. Managing the development environments between many projects on a local machine became a huge burden and a coworker once mentioned developing in a virtual machine. I thought this was a great idea, and Vagrant was eventually born from it.

Really amazing achievement in such short space of time. Congratulations!

Edit: I wonder how many company started or partially started on HN that went on to IPO. I know Dropbox is one. Do we have a list somewhere?

But kids have to do a lot of things they don’t want to do. Going to school in the first place is often one of them.

Interesting. I'm in the U.S. Midwest and most C# devs I talk to don't want to touch React, because they "already know Angular"

Virtually all "memory leaks" are freed eventually, usually when a program closes.

So when someone talks about a memory, they mean usually stuff allocated one place in a fashion that it will stay around as long as the program lasts (or maybe just unnecessarily long). "memory that's not deleted with you're done with it" is a crude approximation.

The point of the fragment, as far as I can tell, is that if you keep calling it repeated, you will eventually use up memory, which is where it matters. And there are other places it doesn't matter (I was shocked years to find the QT C++ framework doesn't delete any of the objects it creates. Valgrind complains about this but their reasoning is "everything is allocated once, lasts the life of the program, so who cares about deletion". Well, it would be nice just so I could see only the thing I unintentionally keep but they have a point).
I feel like the investors are the hard part there, not the consumers. For instance, all pay software seems to be moving towards a subscription service, and that's not a consumer-led movement.
What you propose is to not teach them nor give them gradually more responsibilities.

You literally demand the system in which kids are expected to be well organized. If they are not they will be punished until they learn to be organized. If they don't despite punishments in school, parents won't be told until end of year. Then they get the surprising final report and only thing they can do is to yell at kids or something.

That is rather poor pedagogy.
>Plenty of Emacs plugins invoke a compiler, language server, whatever to get information about the code.

Yes, but Emacs (at least the LSP-modes of the languages I use) doesn't offer the same refactorings and code fixes like the same LSPs do with e.g. Code.
Treesitter doesn't work with many languages, so syntax highlighting is also lacking for many languages.

React is fun and simple, makes juniors look senior for a bit, until apps get complex. Sr react devs build even further complex abstractions due to the nature.

Angular development is reliable. You know what you're getting and what comes with senior development.

(Ive moved 2 prototype projects that needed to scale from React to Angular).
I disagree that the gameplay is particularly shallow. The end game requires both mechanics and tactics. That said, the end game may or may not be _rewarding_ as it's very grindy and there's a good question (for many of these sort of games) of what you're grinding _for_. But the gameplay mechanics get deeper than what you seem to have experienced.
I read an article (or HN comment?) a bit ago with someone with insider knowledge and explained that some of the biggest whales are SA royalty kids who spend RIDICULOUS amounts to flash a skin in front of their friends. The cash means nothing to them. Some even give the companies money to get new things added to the game. 1-5% of their users are subsidizing the whole experience for everyone.
> the "remote first" revolution seems to just encourage more sprawl, since you don't need to live near where you work.

It might be my impression, but lots of traditional tech companies have offices out in the suburbs. Because land is cheaper there for a sprawling single-story office park.

Remote work has done the opposite and allowed me to live in the city. And because I'm at a central site choosing where to commute I have more opportunities. Rather than living in one suburb and commuting to another suburb.

Elisp arguably has worse warts than Javascript. For example, non of Javascript's legacy 'var' scoping nonsense compares to elisp's archaic model of using dynamic scope for everything by default. On top of that, modern Javascript implementations are of extremely high quality, whereas Elisp is stuck with an interpreter of mediocre performance.
You're saying that the negative results of failing a test should come from the school and not the parent. I don't see why this is true.

A school will grade a student down, but often kids will simply just not care about that unless there's impetus to do so from their peer group or people they rely on as a role models (e.g. parents).

Also, when talking about kids... I think it's useful to clarify what age group you think a particular standard applies to. Kindergarteners need more parent care and management than secondary schoolers. It's more okay for a 6 year old to fail a test, than a 17 year old prepping for university. The stakes are different, and the mental abilities of the child are different. What is reasonable for one is not necessarily reasonable for another.
Yes good point, it's really bikes that I love

Admittedly I like the column-based layout. Just the scrolling should work via mouse wheel and stop at whole columns. Not sure if I would want this on every website I visit, but it's a nice change. At least it doesn't scream "materialize!" or "bootstrap!" :)
Seriously that talking point of "buying stuff on Amazon hurts your local businesses" is such an incredibly false dichotomy. The stuff on Amazon has long often been from a local business, often one you haven't heard of because of its obscure but cheap location.

And that is before getting into the other trade fallacies, opportunity costs, and relative advantages.
The note at the end puts this timeline into calendar years, which is mind-blowing:

> Rescaled to a calendar year, starting with the big bang at 00:00:00 on 1 January ( ), the Sun forms on 1 September ( ), the Earth on 2 September ( ), earliest signs of life appear on 13 September ( ), earliest true mammals on 26 December ( ), and humans just 2 hours before year’s end ( ).

> For a year that starts with the earliest true mammals ( ), the dinosaurs go extinct on 17 August ( ), earliest primates appear on 9 September ( ), and humans at dawn of 25 December ( ).

> For a year that starts with the earliest humans ( ), our own species appears on 19 November ( ), the first built constructions on 8 December ( ), and agricultural farming begins at midday on 29 December ( ).
That is literally illegal, at least at my job.
Unfortunately it makes them inaccessible in this case, I wouldn't even know how to scroll sideways unless you actually expect a user to click and drag a scrollbar. Even if the site was usable the the text is still illegible.

Would be great if someone with knowledge on how to read an S1 could help me figure out these two basic questions:

What percentage of the company gets sold in the IPO?

And does that money go into the company or does it go to existing shareholders?

I'm American and I don't know what it means either. I assume burning a barn is bad? I expect not a lot of overlap between the audience of the article and people knowledgeable about agriculture idioms.
I intend the following as friendly feedback. Personal is fine but that doesn't have to imply impossible to use.

The main problem is that it's not discoverable, at least on MacOS where there are no scrollbars. I found the horizontal scrolling by chance after trying every key on the keyboard. In the meanwhile I had already scanned the article using the Reader mode in Safari.
No, we're not arguing semantics. The definition of starvation, according to wikipedia, is: "Starvation is a severe deficiency in caloric energy intake, below the level needed to maintain an organism's life.". However ketosis can occur at a normal caloric energy intake. Also from the article: "The symptoms of starvation show up in three stages. Phase one and two can show up in anyone that skips meals, diets, and goes through fasting.". But you can get into ketosis without fasting or skipping meals. I'm not sure what "diets" means here. If it means "following a non standard diet", that would cover low carb diet. However if it means "reducing your caloric intake for health/aesthetic reasons", it wouldn't cover it.
With the strong motorsports traditions in Japan and Great Britain, I would be surprised if this was a uniquely American thing.

I've never known anyone that has purchased a crate engine, but doesn't it sound fantastic that such a thing exists? Fresh from the factory, with a warranty, support, parts, etc just by going to your local dealership! Put it into anything you can think of, whether that be an old car or something else entirely - limited only by your imagination and bank balance!
Calling this article a "libertarian fantasy" seems unfair. The author does explicitly recommend entertaining new platforms, but being prepared with a backup plan for when these platforms are no longer viable for whatever reason.

Where does it end? They call out these options as presumably being "safe enough":

- A website on a domain you own
- A mailing list
- Own and license your Intellectual Property
- Sell your merch on your site
- Your own reputation

We can extend this logic to an unrealistic degree and do nothing but make your game/app/service completely agnostic to any platform in every way, but we can acknowledge that such perfection is unattainable without throwing out the value of being platform-agnostic in realistic ways.
It is usually crowdfunding on indiegogo. So maybe that will happen any moment.
That's interesting, thanks for the context.
Curious why would this high-powered person go to bat for a technology decision they didn’t seem to have done any risk assessment of? Wouldn’t he be liable if something was exploited and hurt and company, like his head would be on the chopping block for giving the go ahead when they traced it up the chain of command?

For me, the worst parts of Angular are all about it elaborately reimplementing things that already exist in Javascript. I think the most obvious example is its template expressions and pipes. Instead of being able to have Just Javascript, there's an entirely new syntax they want you to learn and to write special handlers for, and the extra overhead that comes with its parsing behavior.

I predict it will be many years before linux works in a satisfactory way out of the box on these machines. The existing kernel model of task priority is not rich enough. Perhaps this will accelerate the adoption of user-space task scheduling.
Yes, this is one of the best Bezos observations. Manage as you program: create well-defined interfaces. If there's value, there's a fair chance you can export it as a spinoff business.

The pot calling the kettle black, no?
Agreed, there's a huge difference in learning computing as a consumer, or a producer. I think the best way is to teach kids to be a prosumer and learn producing software after consuming it.

A great example of this are games that are (relatively) easy to hack. Stuff like Minecraft or Roblox comes to mind.

Is it possible to play those games without ever having to make any of the levels or worlds? Yes, but the games heavily encourage you to actually make your own.
Was it Apache Camel? I used that a while back and liked how low hassle it was.
I think that's probably correct. Perhaps the only way to combat such an effect is some combination of reducing the game's competitiveness (so being optimized isn't as important to begin with) and elements of nondeterminism in the game's combat systems, making it much more difficult or impossible to pin down a "most correct" build.
x87 and MMX's register encodings exist in (mostly) separate parts of the x86 operand encoding map. That's in contrast to GPRs, which have to squeeze into 3 (sometimes 4, with the REX prefix) bits.

That's where the incompatibility comes from -- x86-64 required an entirely new prefix to merely double the GPRs; adding a few hundred more would require some very substantial changes to the opcode map and all decoders already out there.
Very wide in the sense of memory bandwidth particularly, or is there another kind of wideness at play here?

"has a big reorder buffer", I'm interpreting this as "one of the notable advantages of the M1 is it's ability to be more clever about processing instructions out of order to maximize resource utilization". Is that about right?
If you make your window small enough to hit the tablet/mobile breakpoint, it collapses into a vertical layout, which is much more pleasant. I honestly cannot fathom what would possess a person to make horizontally scrollable columns like this, since it's both difficult to use and introduces novel typographical defects such as widows and orphans.
I seriously doubt you can rationally override your own emotions at any situation. And you should doubt that too, it can make you biased to think you're being rational without noticing you're not.
Not exactly what you're talking about, but I recently got a cellular Apple Watch and I've been trying to have only that with me as much as possible. I can do all the things on your list from it and my distraction plummets whenever I leave my phone at home and just have the watch. But I still maintain the bare minimum of connectivity and conveniences like music/podcasts/calls (with airpods)/texts/gps. Just not having the ability to open a web browser or reddit while having those less distracting essentials is the perfect balance for me.
You are comparing salary when you should be comparing ownership. CRO has little ownership vs Armon who doesn't really care about his salary but rather the worth of his ownership position.

Also you are comparing an owner vs an employee, not apples to apples.
I must have missed the memo or something?

Angular is used heavily at my work and we manage to please thousands of users every day, developing in it isn't bad either.
I use it for my personal projects too, and yeah so far no problems and I manage to crank out stuff in a pretty decent rate.
I don't disagree (though when it comes to this particular case it's a question of what the opinion of Swedish courts is) but there's just a lot of grey area there.

Would you consider `ls` an API for exposing your filesystem?
Not the OP but yeah, it's definitely up there for me.

BUT the big difference is that the decades old portions of my .emacs are still very relevant and in use every day while basically all the work I've sunk into configuring some long forgotten GUI junk has rotted away long ago and has to be redone over and over again.

We all spend an enormous amount of time tinkering with things but unlike Emacs most of it is so ephemeral that it's forgotten the next day.
