> It seems like AI is better at making funny things (unintentional so).

Partly this is because we take AI-generated sentences slight differently to ones by humans maybe. It feels less funny once we found out someone behind intentionlly making up the joke, while AI never be "intentional".
It's by design. Democrats want more illegal immigrants, because they and their children tend to vote for them.
I guess they're more-or-less interchangeable. From what I hear, "operator" is generally used to refer to Yamaha FM (and I sometimes use it for FDS/etc. FM as well), while "oscillator" can describe essentially all synthesizers.
The major brick and mortar stores are not solely dealers, they often have various deals where they sell items on consignment and do not pay for inventory until after they're sold, require payment for "shelf space", etc. That's transparent from a customer perspective, but from a supplier viewpoint they're often quite close to brokers in practice.
So, how do I upload my collection of tentacle porn to your personal website? A true advocate for free speech would post their SFTP credentials in the open on this website.
Let's say you work for one of these companies - how do you tell whether you are one of the good ones or one of the "bland, boring, competent but mediocre" ones? And are there any companies out there right now that are still chock full of good people?

Homerun resume data copied by attacker
The state mandates that some of the allocation go too "affordable housing" and that the placement of said housing is not obviously redlined (e.g. you can't just dump some flophouses on an abandoned military base and call that an affordable housing solution). The state does not mandate rent control, and not all cities with huge housing needs pursue rent control. So yes, there's a shape to the stare-level intervention, but nothing as draconian as you describe.
To me original motivation is solving a problem and innovation. If you come up with an idea to create a service/product, you may be invested in the innovation in the beginning. But, as soon as you start making it using other people's money, it starts being less about the product.

> Wayland is just becoming production ready, imo, it's still years away from being trouble-free

Literally have had zero problems with Wayland.

> Gnome is still a resource hog, Gtk is not in a good place, KDE is still prone to crashes

Resource hog? Chrome with a single tab open is roughly equivalent in resources taken to everything Gnome related on my laptop. Steam takes almost as much memory just idling (window is closed). Gnome shell (the most resource intensive Gnome thing) itself is just 134 MB which is nothing when an entry level laptop has 8 gigs of memory.

I have a pretty basic laptop (Acer Swift 3 with Ryzen 2700u). Only 8 gigs of memory. Fedora with Gnome, with Chrome open, Steam running in the background, some other random stuff, still only takes like 30% of that memory.

Compare that to my old work laptop where random Windows crap consumed so much memory I'd have to restart just to be able to open up MS Teams SMH... (I don't work there anymore thank god)

As for KDE, I personally don't like KDE so no idea if it crashes or not. And what do you think is wrong with GTK?

> Installing software/Dependency management is still a headache - the distro agnostic package management solutions (Snap/Flatpak/AppImage) are ironically anything but - apt and it's ilk have known issues as well - the final solution in this domain is still unclear

Versus Windows or Mac where you have a store but everyone just ships random EXEs or whatever? All that matters to the user is that there's a distro-packaged app for nearly everything and Chrome provides .deb and .rpm packages for all major distros. It seems like a mess to developers but it's actually not that big a problem and still better than Windows or Mac where you have the store but most software is random installers you download from the internet.

Take Fedora for example. If you're a normal, non-dev user, you can download a Chrome .rpm. Install it by double clicking and following prompts. Almost every other piece of software is in the app called 'Software'. Hell, Steam is there.

> Imo it was proven that PulseAudio won't work - it's replacement, PipeWire is still just becoming mainstream

PulseAudio works fine but for some reason some Linux 'users' mess around and break it. It's literally always worked perfectly for me.

If you use a sane distro (Fedora, Suse, Ubuntu) and don't fuck around Linux works great.

On Fedora 35, everything you mentioned works. All my function keys work. Fingerprint sensor works. Suspend/Resume works. My USB-C headphones work and switching sound output is automatic. There's nothing that doesn't work perfectly. Gnome is light and snappy (as I said, roughly equivalent to Chrome with 1 tab, this page, open). Every piece of consumer software I installed, I did so through the GUI. The only time I touch the terminal is for dev shit.
Bio CCS using the ocean. Nothing else can be cheaper than letting nature do 99% of the work. That is if there's the will to do it.

Also, Putin is mostly fine with climate change because Russia (and possibly Canada) will be arguably the disproportionate net winner in a 2.5 C world.
Does farm equipment need to pass environmental regulations? I didn't think it did.
If it does I doubt there will ever be a startup in this area.
Carbon capture techniques do not necessarily allow you to easily burn the captured carbon again. For example, consider a process where calcium oxide is used to capture CO2, converting it to calcium carbonate (that’s how masonry mortars work). You can’t convert calcium carbonate to energy.
Solar with grazing land could make a ton of sense. Plus you wouldn’t have to pay for mowing.

And if done right the panels could even be free shelter for the cows.
Why? Nothing is stopping you from having a name_job account. Never add any friends other than coworkers, only use a specific browser, etc.
Honestly, object oriented design is the anti-pattern here. Almost none of the benefits promised in the 1990's and 2000's have come to pass, and for most applications type hierarchies are of little help.

For most applications, having a really good relational data model, and controlling data updates through a service/microservice will give most of the benefits of "object oriented" design without any of the drawbacks. The service will act as a "live object", data integrity will be preserved, data science modeling will be easy, and the application can be designed using whatever tomorrow's preferred platform of the day is, or even some low code stuff for simple applications.
Hence my caveat about the BLS having to be honest. That said, while they do massage the CPI numbers (hedonic adjustments making cars cost the same over a 20 year period being the worst example), it has been historically vaguely accurate.
I guess the consequence would be to have a list of pretty good engineer at (maybe) lower prices for other companies, which would results in a competitive disadvantage.

It would also probably have a chilling effect on other potential hires : I know that I would think twice to work for a company that has this kind of blacklist. And if they do have a blacklist, I would think it thrice if they put in a company like Facebook, when other companies have a way more disastrous effect on the world in general, even if there is more publicity about facebook at the moment.

Finally, it would definitely be illegal to have at least european people on this list, but hopefully it would also be illegal in other jurisdictions.
I have found a combination of TWRP + OAndBackupX to be perfect, stores absolutely everything, and it allows you to atomically restore individual apps+data id you need to.

Rooted of course. AFAIK there isn't any way to consistently and fully backup anything more than userdata and some google stuff if you are stock.
Facebook's biggest problem in the next few years is going to be that it will struggle to attract new talent. Simply put if you're a senior SWE, even the possibility of FB putting a stain on your resume is going to drive you away, because there are so many other options out there. It's not worth the risk of always having to explain your time there because everyone has an opinion on the company these days. It's not that Facebook isn't a great place to work, it probably is. It's the fact that if you're at the level where you can get hired by Facebook, there are many many other options to reach for and the vast majority of people at that level are just going to reach for those other companies that are just as prestigious but carry none of the stigma.
As a casual puzzle fan, I never relied on that and knowing the orientation of a piece changes the experience for me; sample size one.
Yeah but you don't need commercial services to get down to the inch anymore. Running your own base station has gotten cheap and easy; witness Sparkfun selling their RTK Express kit like hotcakes.

Integrating it into the vehicle is a fun second ROS project for someone who already built a toy robot car. There's a substantial population of highschoolers building the necessary skills, the trick is just to connect them to the jobs.
You don't need permission to pay people to install wind turbines either. What you need is money. And if you have money, and a dollar spent installing wind turbines goes further than a dollar spent extracting CO2, why are you going to spend it on the inefficient thing?
In interferometry [0], you need your telescope components to be collecting data simultaneously so that you can interfere their collected light together - so the maximum possible separation is about the diameter of the Earth. (The VLBA [1] and the EHT [2] make use of most of this potential.)

There have been proposals to extend this maximum baseline by having space-borne interferometers (perhaps orbiting the Sun), but practically, they are a few decades away at best. [3]

I think in a few months we experts can look at this winter cases around the globe and compare the differences between the vaccination rates and other measures and find some conclusions.
It could also be that it is a proxy for energy expenditure by the manufacturers though. They have to collect and clean the bottles.
Single use plastic get thrown away with the costs being externalised to everybody else.
I'm one of original devs of the above.

I guess the main difference between MakeCode and most other kids learning environments is that it starts with a real language (TypeScript) and then exposes a subset of it through graphical blockly interface (while allowing usage of both). Having a real language makes it easier for more advanced users to create libraries, which can be exposed (as blocks which map 1:1 to functions) to less advanced ones. It also doesn't place an artificial ceiling on user's abilities.

The library approach in micro:bit is mostly used for interfacing external hardware, but in https://arcade.makecode.com/ it allows for the entire 8-bit game engine to be implemented in-system.
Nice trip down the memory lane :D. Works great on POP_OS (didn't uninstall my desktop).
I got tapped by 4H to judge a computers/electronics design event a few years ago. My background is in hackerspaces and OSHW, and the overlap with what the kids were building was staggering.

It's been a while and I'm curious what they're up to lately.
Started out as a product called Writely in the mid-2000s. Got bought by Google not long afterwards.

Not sure if it’s still the case but until fairly recently you could still see writely in the different domains Docs cycles through when logging in.
It would be good to just have a choice. The designers can go nuts every year, just give me a drop down and I'll pick the skin I like.
Ask HN: Are faster compiles always better for productivity?
Don't slower compiles force you to put more thought in your code?
This shows just how much a monopoly Apple has over brand <—> customer interaction.

They say that their app store not allowing side loading is for user safety.

In actuality, it forces the brand/company/startup into a place where they're completely shackled. They pay 30% taxes, have no customer relationship, and have to step through every hoop to satisfy apple.

The handicap their browser so you can't get new runtimes or deploy software via alternate means. Good luck launching your media startup on iPhone without an app.

Now this. They're clearly trying to gobble up any interest in other apps and force them into the payment shackles.

This is a fucking monopoly! Please stop this, department of justice! Apple has undue power in computing! Every company has to go through them to reach 50% of consumers, and apple is extorting us!

Apple says you're welcome to go to consumers another way, and then they do this. Look at their actions.
Your only argument is that CO2 is good for the plants. It's a bit light and does not really account for the cycle of carbon on the planet. It's like saying, since sun is good for the health, fuck the ozone layer of the atmosphere haha.
So now I am quite weary of visiting "Ice age farmer"'s personal website.
Please get out of your information bubble, it's not too late.

Btw I rather prefer my own conspiracy theory that the most wealthy on the planet are already old, do not care about what happens after they die and don't want to change anything that might affect profits on which rest their privileges. I don't any secret documents to prove it though. Just a feeling.
This would be a great idea.

I think it’s also interesting to trace how much all of it come from really good, simple and forward thinking principles, to slowly become the state we are in now.

For instance, following your idea, there will be the issue with countries that produce more CO2 than they can afford, but we can’t make them pay as it would literally be a matter life or death to them. So they get an exception.

They then become a beacon of CO2 relocation. We start to pass more laws to limit that trend, but the existing companies will be grandfathered. They then have a monopoly on the scheme, and also find other loopholes, progressively expanding the amount of CO2 they can get away with.

During that time, these countries will be more and more CO2 swamped, degrade beyond belief, and someone will be pesting against the demon that thought about taxing countries in the first place.

To put my naive ideas out as well, I kinda see economic tricks the same way we say “don’t try to solve social problems through technology”. We should straight get the bigger economies to shoulder infra construction in weaker economies no strings attached. No loan, no debt, no nothing. We’re all extinct anyway if we don’t do it.

Segwick's book is far more useful in self-learning environment than other text books. He has videos and fully functioning code to help you understand.
The test is really simple. Let's imagine that tomorrow you doubled your positive impact on the success of the company as a whole. Will your boss be twice as happy with you? If not, progression is basically political, or maybe in some cases based on the skillful execution of tasks unrelated to anything valuable, and people who are very friendly or are very unconcerned with the company they're working for (and consequently will not be bothered by wasting enormous amounts of brainpower on achieving pointless goals), respectively, will fill out the ranks in very little time.

It is not that uncommon for the first step in success to be forgetting about what the company ostensibly exists to do to make room for the misaligned incentives, whatever they may be, that determine what it actually does. That's the essential element of the big company malaise. Anyone can be mediocre if they're not trying, or if they're trying extremely hard to do something that's ultimately pointless.
I did this (with the same daisy chain of connectors, without the protector) last year and it worked pretty well.

iMovie actually splits the tape up per segment and even tries to datetime stamp the files. You quickly realize how much people didn't set the correct time on their cameras :)

MiniDV is a lot less fun to archive because the files are already digital. A more fun project is digitizing old VHS tapes. With the right setup you can double the framerate and upscale a little bit and bring a HUGE breath of fresh air to them. Here is the guide I followed:

Ask HN: Creating a consumer humanoid robot – suggestions for apps?
Hey guys! We're creating the first consumer humanoid robot, more specifically a robotic Teddybear.
https://www.animarobotics.life/store/p/teddy

We just finished assembling the hardware, specifically:
- 13 Dynamixel servo motos, of which 6 dual motors, with 19 combined DOFs
- 36 3D printed PolyCarbonate parts
- Jetson TX 2 4GB
- Open CR 1.0

We now want to develop some basic apps for Teddy.
What would you build on top of it?
Reminds me of SCORM based exams at work which also had the results in code, easily requested by iterating over some array in the browser console.
Careful with your claims. What is the supply chain of that win2k iso? You could be compromised before you even begin.

Just because it is past EOL doesn’t mean you chuck all security best practices out the window.

“Oh well it’s end of life, might as well store passwords in plaintext”

Microsoft still owns copyright on Win2k, so you could be met with a cease and desist or you could be liable for infringement.
CO₂ is not the only factor driving ecological damage and indeed, the mass extinction event currently in progress.

There are simply too many humans for the way in which we as a species currently behave.

Either we need single parent families, globally, for a few generations, to get numbers down to a sustainable level, or, we have to convince/force 7 billion people to accept and adhere to major changes in how they live their lives.

CO₂ is a basically easy problem, compared to this, if it is possible to take the route of geo-engineering, because, as you say, it's not necessary to change how people behave; but I think no matter what, there is a need to change how people behave, or billions die from famine and economic failure, induced by ecological collapse.

I don't think people will change (indeed, there will be large numbers of people vocally against change), I think Governments will at best effectively do nothing "(we're building lots of renewable! but we're also building lots of gas at the same time!"), or more likely make things worse ("we'll phase out coal by 2070"), so my expectation is human suffering on a scale never seen before in all human history.

Humans are kākāpō; we're over-reproducing, having as they did no meaningful natural predators to keep us in check, and sooner or later, that leads to ecological collapse.

(The kākāpō went through several cycles of this and evolved to reproduce very, very slowly, and so came into balance with their environment, and then were very nearly almost completely wiped out when humans arrived.)
How to find a remote job when you're an iOS/Android developer from Europe
If we're going to talk insanely expensive moonshots, maybe the US should install and maintain free point-of-emission carbon capture for anyone anywhere in the world who wants it, and put the technology behind it in the public domain for anyone who doesn't want it from us.

Point of emission capture is at least technologically feasible.
cool! I've never considered running qemu in a container. This project is a matroska on actual windows systems, as docker runs/used to run in VM (has WSL changed that?). So VM->Docker->VM. You could probably also run windows-something that supports Docker and run the same image. Oh this gives me baaaaad ideas. Thank you, OP

If efficiency was ever a concern we wouldn't be burning fossil fuels in the first place. A gasoline engine only extracts a small portion of the energy in the gasoline, most of the energy gets wasted as heat.
Its pay pay pay thats it those who employ us are trying wringing out the last little bit as the did in all other parts of the economy. We are experiencing what was going on in the steel automotive sectors in 70s. No wonder ppl are crazy miserable and burnt out.
Concrete Mathematics by Graham/Knuth/Patashnik is still a great resource on the kind of mathematics and mathematical thinking we need in CS, but I'm not sure if it is fully accessible with a high-school level of Maths.

To be perfectly honest, I doubt I would've ever gotten through college-level maths without being forced to do it, as it can be very frustrating and difficult in the beginning. Unless you are quite confident in your self-discipline and enthusiasm to learn maths, rather than books I'd recommend something interactive (online course, forums, challenges).

If you are interested in a starting point to learn mathematics that are relevant for CS, I'd start with propositional logic and boolean algebra, as well as proofs via induction.
We can measure the total amount, but it's rapidly mixing and moving so we can't reliably allocate the CO2 production to states from space measurements, no.

Furthermore, countries only are liable for the commitments to which they voluntarily agree in international treaties or get forced to agree with credible threats of excessive violence.

As all the climate talks have clearly shown, no one is going to sign a treaty which accepts the obligation to pay such a bill even if it could be accurately calculated; the world simply does not work that way.
No, the goal is to reduce load on the healthcare system. It's well known that the Covid vaccines keep people out of hospital. There's no reason that people should interfere with other people receiving urgently needed medical treatment.
There are a few community improvements that are language extensions. The standard had no notion of multithreading, MOP was not in the standard, and packages really needed some way to avoid collisions of short package names (which lead to the de facto standardized package local nicknames.) Pathnames may also have seen some de facto standardization; they were poorly specified in the standard.
