Startup idea: Buy dirt on your enemies and donate it to the treasury - with just a press of a button! Now they aren't buying it anymore so all should be well.
Precisely!

I wonder what chain of events lead this PR being filed.

How did the kid(s) get caught? Did a teacher decide to tell the IT department head? Did the head of department then tell the IT maintenance team? Then the IT maintenance team told the test vendor?

Very odd chain of events to lead to such a dangerous change.
Because we'are slackers and we have the easy job of stopping emissions and we are bitching about it.

The world wont stop warming at 2 degrees, thats just projection for 2100, it will keep warming after that.

The next generation will have to pay for pulling carbon out od the air to actually stop warming, and that's going to cost $2 for every $1 the oil industry has ever made.

I'm not sure who this is for. The features don't interest me much, and I use Twitter quite a bit (though mostly not to tweet things myself).
Nice. I'm 42 and in an undergrad program (my first) for a BFA in interaction design after being a web developer for 10 years. Feels great to make moves.
Except climate science has tons and tons of hard data that the models need to agree with to be publishable, whereas sociology has questionnaires administered to a group of 20 sociology students.
Kind of ironic that in order to keep using fossil fuels, Korea has to import a direct product of a different fossil fuel.
I really don't get what this is trying to say.

Like, the tone of the comment makes no sense, the hard part isn't on the OP, and OP wasn't saying AppArmor is easy, just the content of their comment is easy (which it is!)

It's like saying flipping a light switch to turn on a light is easy... the having someone fly in complaining that understanding industrial power generation is not easy at all.
You’re not betting directly on either of the issues being discussed though. The person you’re arguing with made no claim that anti-nuclear advocates won’t be successful, only that intermittent renewables plus storage won’t allow hitting near term decarbonization targets. It’s kind of weird for you to win the bet if you’re wrong about the actual issue in the most dire way…
100% effective vaccines don't exist.

Merriam Webster's old definition excluded many vaccines ordinary people called vaccines. Diphtheria and tetanus most clearly. And other dictionaries had definitions compatible with mRNA vaccines.[1]

`const id = crypto.randomUUID()`

why would I not just do this?
> the alternative has never been a crypto

Cryptos have only existed for ~12 years.

> it's always just a more stable fiat.

What happens when there are no longer any stable fiats in the world? Do you see whats happening with negative interests rates across the developed world? Debt grows perpetually, the cost of borrowing is zero, and everyone thinks this is normal.

Central bank fiat currency is simply an idea that is doomed to fail eventually.
I should add I really like the general idea of what you're trying to do. I actually worked on some similar ideas for similar reasons (I think) a few years back.

It was in Matlab* though and not as slick as what you've created.

Is the idea with Hamilton to limit it specifically to columnar operations? e.g. no functions that filter the DataFrame? I think that's one thing that I attempted to do that ended up overcomplicating the framework I created.

Here we go once again.

It is a private platform and they can ban, censor, de-platform whoever they want. It is futile to get them to change or expect them to listen to anyone.

They will never change and it is only going to get worse for everyone except for Google, and YouTube.

These types of "hacks" spread very quickly in school. Once the flaw is discovered, the entire class likely "aced" the test. From there, it's pretty obvious how the vendor found out: the school could no longer use the testing software and demanded an answer.
Those sound like cost savers, not the mass storage solution that is needed. I haven't done the math but I bet you're missing about an order of magnitude of storage needed to make intermittent power sources sufficient to power the grid by themselves.
What was it like to use a BBS? In a word: awesome.

I was lucky enough to go to middle school in the late 80's with a kid who loved computers even more than I did and actually ran his own BBS on a 286 with a 20? megabyte hard drive. I asked my dad if he could bring home a modem from work. He delivered--I have a memory of 4800 baud, but that could be wrong). I dialed my friend's number and the rest was history.

The BBS experience consisted of three things:

First, trying to log in. A BBS was just somebody's computer attached to a private phone line. The more popular the BBS, the longer you had to wait until you connected. Luckily, ZModem had a redial feature. (Years later, my college would require us to call in to register for classes over the phone with long wait times and I used ZModem to auto-redial until I got in). Sysops would also limit users' time online to a set number of minutes to make sure everyone got a chance. The computer clocked your time. When your time ran out, the computer booted you and you couldn't log back in until 12:01 AM.

Second, the door games. Damn I miss those door games. You could log in and select from a whole host of games against other players. I lived for online Risk! God only knows how many games I played. I also played a little resource game called Space Dynasty and occasionally this other space 4X called Space Dominion or something that might have been programmed by the Sysop and his friend.

Third, the discussion boards. Think Hacker News, but with people from around town. Remember, they're locals because nobody wanted to pay the long distance fees. I actually met some of the people on the BBS. One of them even ran a competing BBS that I occasionally visited. People also played role playing games that way and conducted entire campaigns with strangers. Today, that's normal game play, but in 1988 it felt like stepping into a science fiction movie.

A good BBS honestly felt like a community. The identity you created for yourself mattered in those forums.

Good times!
But hey you don't get to demonize social media by sharing positive news.
Brilliant! I've run into several instances of Chesterton's Fence lately (trying to talk people out of destroying something they didn't see the use of), and this is a great example.

I one time read book that had 4 columns on every page. It was the hardest thing I read. It was a Amazon createspace for some out of print Modernist work (Tarr by Wyndham Lewis), get the Oxford Classics edition which you can now buy on Amazon.

The only solutions to a culture war:

1) Domination: fight it out and exterminate the other side or disenfranchise them so much they become powerless to oppose your agenda. Then you rule over them and make sure to keep them weak and defeated otherwise they will switch tables on you. (Examples: Bismarcks' original Kulturkampf reversing to Weimer reversing to Nazis, Argentina's dirty war)

2) Devolution: decentralize even more and reduce power of Federal government (Examples: Lebanon. Switzerland)

3) Divorce: split into two different nations entirely. (Examples: Ethiopia/Eritrea split, Yugoslavia breakup)

The reason why is that this is ultimately a religious war about values. People will die rather than give up their religion or change their core values. That means that if their core values are diametrically opposed, then will rather die than stop doing what the other side is convinced is immoral. This brings us to my favorite trilemma:

a) diversity (of values)
b) liberty
c) a strong central government

Pick two.

Historically nations dealt with diversity of core beliefs by Federalism, e.g. letting one province be Catholic and the other Protestant and they just leave each other alone, with a central government that only takes action if both sides agree. But that's a very fragile arrangement prone to civil war -- e.g. Lebanon -- when there is a demographic shift that upsets the balance of power. The left, also, would not accept if, say, America split into a red and blue nation with the Red nation say not respecting gay rights or emitting lots of carbon. Blue America would invade them as they have a crusading vision that is global and totalizing.

Personally, I favor devolution (best) or a national breakup (second best). Obviously I do not favor domination. But most people I know, and everyone I know on the left, favors domination. The right must be defeated.

But it's easy for me to emigrate to a nation which is much more sane than the U.S., so I have less at stake than those stuck in America.
We have laws, though. The Fourth Amendment is a law, and it's reasonable to say that purchasing what is (arguably) the company's data is still tantamount to a search of our "effects".

Or maybe it's not, and we need new legislation specifically targeting this. That's where the Supreme Court comes in: their raison d'être is to resolve ambiguities in existing law.
Firstly, about half of all people in the US reach their majority without having sex; I suspect the numbers for social media use are less rosy, so assuming the two are similar, there's room for improvement.

Secondly it's trivial to keep early teens off of social media, and (from my experience), the later that they start using social media, the less of an impact it has on their wellbeing.
Thanks for posting on HN! I'm still hoping to see more papers on this much neglected topic. Science depends on experiments, inspired by good questions.

Many software developers work daily within infrastructure (e.g. git source revision) with features to model and manage event sequences/history. If a software developer works on multiple projects, or variations of one project over an extended time, they quickly find themselves negotiating with past selves (software archaeology) and future selves (technical debt).

Another petri dish for time travel concepts is the finance industry, which has developed countless financial instruments to estimate the present-time value/risks of future-time assets. Compute infrastructure is used to model financial futures, most of which never happen, so we can collectively encourage a small subset to become real.

The lives of some HN participants have been changed by just one of those instruments (stock options) and their time-travel (tax, vesting, bonus, cliffs, retention, signaling) incentives. Cryptocurrency "smart" contracts can commoditize math-based social engineering of present behavior in pursuit or avoidance of future events.

What's the game-theoretic Prisoner's Dilemma equivalent, during a mental negotiation with hypothetical past, future or even concurrent selves?
This is nothing new from Airbnb. Just a new name and a newly updated webpage. Also checkboxes help. But yeah nothing new.
Ask HN: Books for Learning Chemistry
I have procured a copy of "Inorganic Chemistry for Dummies" and a text book I found on Amazon: "Chemistry: The Central science." I'm just surprised that it is so difficult to find a plethora of technical books like you find in the technology field, for such an old and popular subject. The Dummies book is very bad. Does anyone have any recommendations for books covering theory and application?

> We can think of millions of ways to abuse any system -- but that doesn't mean that people will.

What world do you live in? Did you entirely miss out on the Snowden revelations?
Sure, by "operations" we essentially mean a collection of processes which governs the right way to do something. It could be, for example, the steps you want a developer to take when making a pull request, or how a reported bug or vulnerability should be handled.

For many teams, these processes are undocumented or loosely documented, so what needs to be done, in what order and when is difficult to understand, manage and scale.

Workflow86 allows you to document and map out these processes with modules that can automate parts of the process (e.g. calculations, logic, sending emails, making API requests) or request human input (e.g. approvals, review, decision making). Once you've build out a process, you essentially have a functional piece of software that when started, can run that process from start to finish for you.

One example that we use internally is this process for PR requests: https://app.workflow86.com/template/2b9ae31f-d29d-4198-a7b2-...

Here we've taken the "checklist" which we might have otherwise stored say in Confluence, and turned it into am interactive form instead. When the form is submitted, a further checklist is assigned for the dev to complete once merged into prod. Email notifications and slack messages are automated along the way to keep the team informed. There is some logic to see if it rates as potentially risky and warning notifications accordingly.

And here is another for handling data breach response: https://app.workflow86.com/template/26d48842-26cd-48bb-af51-...
When we built our house in 2000, my wife worked for a company that was doing a cross promotion with GE so we got a good discount on their appliances and fitted the whole house with them. Every single one has been nothing but trouble, and we've replaced the majority of them. The washer and dryer were the first to go.

Smartphones have been an important counterweight to exponential growth in system requirements. They (especially Android phones) have slow CPUs, slower and metered Internet connections, and limited storage. I attribute the shift to "flat" user interfaces to popular adoption of mobile devices. Some people use them as their only computer.

Even above average workstations still have constraints. Those above average specs will eventually be adopted by the masses and a chat app will only function on a system with 16GB of RAM.
Is this a joke? It's unclear to me, a person without much understanding of the law. Aren't debtors prisons illegal?
Why is because Congress has been captured by big corporations and their lobbying money for nearly a century now. Anything pro-consumer that stands to limit the upper bounds of profit (that doesn't literally threaten the collapse of the nation) is just a signal for their corporate donors that they haven't been paid enough that year to keep quiet.
Scope creep happens when you discover new requirements after defining a project scope and delivering an estimate. The type of analysis outlined in the article is helpful to define a sane and reasonable scope upfront, to hopefully avoid creep down the line.

My other daily browser is Firefox ESR, so Tor Browser 11 is the first I've seen these strange new tabs.

It's like they kept making the active tab harder to distinguish, until eventually someone had a thought, "the active tab is really hard to distinguish, so let's make this puppy dominate the entire UI".

This is my least-favorite UI change since the intermediate submenu "Close Multiple Tabs" was introduced, to make a somewhat tedious mousing task even more work.
I can't imagine any teacher would say that language precedes memory. When teaching, the first thing you should do is set a context to help students recall relevant memories to work with.

I think words themselves are kept somewhat stable due to being in overlapping memories, and thus protected from the brain cleanup process.

> After a binarization to make the edge stand out ...

Edge binarization is dependent upon edge detection algorithm choice, threshold algorithm choice, and both of their respective parameters. It's often very difficult to find a set of parameters that aren't brittle due to occlusions, poor contrast, camera noise, etc.

Hough works great if you can do this part confidently. But in my experience, robust edge binarization for Hough is often not very feasible in the wild.

For context, this isn't from a player; I steadfastly refuse to run google services on any of my devices, so I'm incapable of downloading your game from the Google Play store. I'll keep an eye out for it, should you ever decide to release the .apk or host it on F-Droid!

Your personal story is nothing short of inspiring. A sincere kudos to you and your husband :) Your children are incredibly lucky to have two such productive role models, and I hope they grow up to see computers as not just tools but as friends (as it seems they were to you in childhood)

To me, computing is somewhere between a philosophy and a spirituality. I'm still very novice, but welcome to the rarefied air of technological wizardry! You had a vision, a meaning in your mind, and you manifested that into the devices of strangers. You created something wholly new and thereby opened a port from the rich inner world of bananabat &co. into the reality of our shared experiences. This capability, to me, is nothing short of miraculous. It was your combined passion and effort that seized upon such miracles to create novel spectacles. As I said: nothing short of inspiring!

Best of luck to you and your family as you continue down this journey! I wish all of you well, and who knows? Maybe in some years from now, someone will post a Show HN with their own project, their passion fueled by Slingshot Effect!

Keep rocking!

The people in the US making enough money to pay top marginal rates are not paying for health insurance in any meaningful way. It is paid for by the company as a benefit and very high quality. Even if that wasn’t the case, if you are paying those kinds of tax rates then the cost of the very best insurance is essentially inconsequential relative to your income.

An experienced software engineer might take home, after taxes, $15-20k/month in my US tech city. High-quality health insurance for an entire family is on the order of $1-2k/month, assuming you had to pay for it yourself. If you are a FAANG-level engineer, not only are you not paying for that but you are being paid twice as much.

The cost of health insurance in the US is a real concern for the lower half of the middle class. Software engineers live in a completely different universe of concerns.
I imagine they're trying to stagger news, this is one of those articles where it's probably a scoop, but you don't want to have it buried by everything about the infrastructure bill lest nobody see this one.
"hard" doesn't refer to the difficulty level of "hard sciences", but the solidity of the evidence. Basically the same as "hard" evidence in a court case (video footage of a murder, procured from a trusted source, with witnesses and murder weapon intact, as opposed to mere circumstancial evidence).

Honestly I learned this lesson as a young engineer, as I suspect many others did, by giving a project manager an off the cuff answer to "how long will this take".

The next month of embarrassingly explaining why I was late every Tuesday and Thursday was enough for me to now take a serious amount of time, come up with a realistic estimate, and then add a lot of buffer. Better to under promise and over deliver.

Rosembaum chased down and tried to disarm an armed teenager, being armed by itself is not a crime, it's an open carry state.

Huber chased down and attacked Rittenhouse who was running away to the police line. Huber was not at the initial altercation nor would he have been in the right even if he was.

Grosskreutz chased down and pointed a gun at Rittenhouse after previously holding his hands up and Rittenhouse lowered his gun beforehand.

Pro tip: you can't claim self defense if you are chasing someone as your life isn't in immediate danger.

You can't chase down someone on others behalf and claim self defense.

Now if Kyle ran at one of these individuals the story would be different, but they ran after him.
> That premise is that it is the architect that is in control of the final aesthetic of the building.

I disagree.

The article frames the question by examining what kind of work architects celebrate and award. It doesn't matter who had the final say in any given design or even all the designs; architects, not client expectations, are responsible for what kind of work gets the Pritzker prize.
> It'll be a decentralized, market-driven effort. All you have to do is have the local city government erase segregation-era anti-density zoning codes. No square foot minimums on apartments, no parking minimums, no Floor Area Ratio requirements, no cap on building height, and dedicate 1/8th of current transportation infrastructure to non-personal vehicles (Buses, bikes, rail, etc.).

Nice thoughts. Sadly, not realistic at all.

The things you mention would require such changes as doubling the size of the sewage handling system, power delivery, gas, water, etc. You can't build stuff without having the underlying infrastructure to support it with the required services. Hate to put it this way, but that approach is a trip straight into third-world living.

Cities are very complex works of engineering. While not perfect, you can't just double or triple occupancy or density without suffering serious consequences.

As is always the case, there number of variables at play are far more than simple idealized concepts might lead one to believe.

Take fires for example. Density and fire risk are related. In a place like Southern California you have to be very aware and equally careful about something like this.
For now, psychology is too hard (meaning difficult) to be a hard (meaning solid) science.
I think that both article and you are missing a very big aspect of development - ongoing support.
This is specially problematic when using existing code to create new product for a specific use case\client. It may not take very long but what everyone seems to forget is that this new product has to be maintained. Every time new feature is added to base code, it has to be tested with that new product as well. Repeat that 10-15 times and it becomes difficult if not impossible to add new feature to base code without either breaking some downstream code or getting bogged in updating numerous programs and then testing and then fixing the issues then testing again...
