Other important state variables in the model are the stocks of "non renewable resources" and "pollution".

From memory I believe one of the ideas in the world model is that over time, as existing stocks of non-renewables are consumed, the remaining stocks of non-renewable resources become more expensive for society to access. E.g. EROI [1] for fossil fuel deposits decreasing. Similarly when mining ore, if the richer ore deposits have all being exhausted, then only lower-grade ore remains, so maybe you need to expend more energy blasting and moving 2x or 3x as much rock as a few decades ago to obtain the same output of metal.

So the idea is that at some point it starts to become more and more expensive -- in terms of the energy input required -- to produce resources that society requires to exist in a steady-state, let alone to continue to fuel growth of the physical economy.

Similarly for pollution -- e.g. for global warming you can regard the atmosphere as a stock where you can store some finite amount of CO_2 pollution before it really starts creating a mess. Once there isn't much stock of cheap CO_2 pollution storage capacity remaining in the atmosphere, you have to start figuring out something else to do, which consumes more energy.

The increasing energy costs of extracting enough non-renewables and dealing with pollution to fuel society leaves less energy for everything else. At some point the energy required for industrial output grows to the extent that there is no longer sufficient energy left for services such as healthcare, education, etc. Therefore the quality of healthcare and education falls off. That has consequences for the human population.

They also removed live bookmarks, a feature I loved since 2002. There is a browser extension now, but I just moved to Inoreader (and Edge).

Final straw was the dedicated search bar not working with keyword shortcuts for other search engines. While the settings page claims those are supposed to work in the address bar and the search bar, they only work in the address ("omni") bar.

Too many features removed. I'd rather just go to my native browser and all the inherent advantages to it at that point, which as mentioned is MS Edge. I love it. In fact, their unnecessary additions (MS Shopping) actually opened my eyes to things I didn't know existed, like the Honey extension. I have no complaints about Microsoft Edge on Windows 11 or iOS. After 19 years of Firefox.
> It's for people on broken IPv6-only networks (i.e. basically nobody).

It's for people on any IPv6-only networks. They are few, but are growing in numbers; ideally the whole internet will one day, and this could help. Not to mention it is cheaper to get servers without IPv4 connectivity, eg. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29471986
Sure, and this solution requires an entire browser instance merely to display "Hello world".

The 20GB of IDE dependencies are optional. However, the IDE certainly makes development uncomplicated (the subject of the OP).
Semantic HTML is about using the write HTML tags for the right things, like <article>, <figure>, etc. The strings you put inside the class attribute are completely orthogonal to this — Tailwind has absolutely no influence on whether your HTML is semantic or not.

We worked with several accessibility experts when building Tailwind UI for example, and I am very confident in the semantics of all of that markup and how it performs in situations where that actually matters like when using assistive technology, because we tested it ourselves.

I can't imagine the Maps developers are happy about it.

It will be interesting to see how far Apple's vulnerability will be exploited.
Since I bought into the Omada system due to the HN hive-mind shifting against Ubiquiti, I'll take this opportunity to write about the experience.

The system is obviously inspired by Ubiquiti. The hardware seems good, I quite like the wall-mount APs that have a 3-port ethernet switch on the bottom. Be warned that there is different hardware between the similarly-priced wall and ceiling APs - the wall-mount ones have supposedly inferior Mediatek chipsets. The software controller is okay. It has pretty basic features. It doesn't have a real-time per-client bandwidth utilization view, you have to refresh the tabular data screen to see what's using bandwidth. It runs fine without creating a TP-link account and you can control it on the same network with a phone app. You need to create a TP-link account to have the controller check for and download firmware updates. They do provide debs for the Linux controller software, but don't have a repository so you need to update with other means.

The firmware that the router shipped with had a bug that caused attempted firmware updates to fail, and it would then become unresponsive to the controller. Couldn't even reboot it, had to go in-person and power cycle it. Did eventually get it to update by doing it right after rebooting.

I tried to use WiFi rate control to push slow/low-signal 5GHz devices to the 2.4GHz bands, so the remaining devices could use the full data rate. This caused iPhones to regularly determine the WiFi wasn't working and disconnect.

Overall: its' fine. The hardware is a great value. I'm not convinced that TP-Link's software support or security is going to be any better than Ubiquiti's.
Touche lol
How do you actually teach both Rhythm and Ear training? I'm struggling at both right now. I've paid a teacher, and it's helping, but now I'm curious how we actually teach these things.
Also, stagnation as the ruling class, politicians, CxOs, artists, singers, authors, researchers and professors have longer to propagate their outdated mindsets. Paraphrasing Planck, "Science progresses one funeral at a time". Death makes room for the new.
Compared to 2015? Yeah our technology is better, our shared knowledge is increasing, population is increasing, etc. In a collapse, I’d expect to see near 0 investment in new technology with more energy going into basic survival and trying to protect a declining population.

If you think we’re in a setback, decline, etc., maybe, but when I think collapse, I think a “Guns, Germs & Steel” / Easter Island type event.
> What companies do with the source is their thing.

I think RMS and the GPL would disagree with that statement.
Everyone knows there is no spoon. That doesn’t make it a fork.
Unfortunately there is not. Many will argue for whatever file explorer is their favourite, but all of them miss the mark by a wide margin. DirectoryOpus is a veritable Swiss Army Knife (with a freshly sharpened blade) of functionality. I've been using it on all of my Windows machines for many years, and it is one of those pieces of software that whenever I switch over to my Linux machine I very much miss. As a sidenote, PathFinder on macOS is a good Finder replacement, but again, lacks much of the functionality that DirectoryOpus provides.
Works fine. Thanks!
Please forgive what may be a naive question:

As an atheist this feels mystical.
They are identical copies of each other. Since symlink support is not universal on Windows (Possible since around the time WSL was introduced, but still requires either special privileges or developer mode enabled), many tools including GNU autotools fall back to copying. Since recently (https://reviews.llvm.org/D99170), LLVM et least tries to create a symlink on Windows, but still caused problems because this is kind of unexpected by Windows. The NSIS installer used by the official Windows installer (https://llvm.org/builds/) does not support symlinks at all such that the installer includes 4 identical copies of Clang.

A clean solution would be to have stub executables that link to a central libClang.dll/libLLVM.dll (-DCLANG_LINK_CLANG_DYLIB=ON), but this is not supported under Windows because a DLL can export at most 2^16 symbols. Some work would need to be invested to make process launching on Windows work differently than on other platforms, but then disk space is not that much of a problem.
Not significantly. In this particular case, they run the demo identically.
Apologies, but I still don't know how to respond in a situation like this. Can I ask how you would respond to this case yourself? I hope you can at least see why I found it difficult to swallow when people shut down my comment telling me there's zero similarity between a 99.99% case and a 100% case. It seems needlessly hyperbolic to me at best, and quite obviously frustrating. Looking back, I almost feel like it baited me into this. How do you see this from your standpoint? Does it feel like a good-faith comment to you that they can't tell why I would see 99.99% and 100% as similar?
The printer quote is just a touch of gallows humor.
Bit-for-bit identical means that they are actually identical though.
It has to be mandatory or no one will comply.
When I was your age I too wished that such medical breakthroughs would help me live a little longer. As I got to my mid 30s I started wishing that it'll hopefully help my parents live a little longer and enjoy their time with grandkids.
Ask HN: What practical skills do you recommend?
I have in mind not things that take years to master and that you develop over a lifetime, like programming or playing the piano. But there are some practical skills that can be learned in a couple of hours and refreshed with an hour of practice every month or so, but that have a disproportionate return on investment.

Two examples of skills that I regularly find useful are classical lockpicking and knowing how to tie a variety of knots. The first has gotten me and friends out of jams when someone lost a key and got locked out, etc.; and if you don’t know knots you will never be able to tie a load tightly to the roof of your car.

What skills do you recommend that I add to my repertoire?
Except that: "Who is it that gets to define what is propaganda and what isn't?"

The West is no more blameable or blameless than anybody else.

Many of the West's 'truths' have been later discovered to be 'lies'. Remember Saddam's WMDs? Remember those nasty Huns spiking Belgian babies with their bayonets? Remember the Vietnamese gunboats attacking a US destroyer in the 'Tonkin Gulf Incident"? Remember the Soviets sneakily placing nukes in Cuba, whereas the US would never, never have sneakily placed similar nukes in Turkey months and months long before that?

If you always listen only to one set of propaganda you'll never be able to see what the objective facts are likely to be. It's called 'Confirmation Bias". Be prepared to spend time looking at lots of other viewpoints. Most of them eventually cancel each other out, leaving a solid core of 'probable truth'.
I'm sure you've heard the old joke about gamer college students using their fancy graphics cards to heat their rooms. :)
Is it clear to a novice which components they will or will not need ahead of time?
They spoof the DNS to make you access a server they control (what they call a v6peer), that relays to another one (called a v4peer), that communicates with the v4 Internet.

You can try it with github, for example (the real github.com does not support ipv6):

$ dig @2a01:4f8:c2c:123f:69::1 +short github.com aaaa
2001:0:2e2b:288::8c52:7904
2a01:4f8:c2c:123f:69:0:8c52:7904
2a01:4f9:c010:3f02:69:0:8c52:7904

I'm guessing this doesn't work with DNSSEC, though.

(EDIT: when first sending this comment I was confused because I tried it on a domain with AAAA records, which aren't spoofed)
If this technology is real it needs to be expensive enough to prevent the vast majority of people on earth from having access to it.
There is enforcement going on, but they don't have enough resources to go after every single violation. They are focusing on the biggest violators and the most flagrant violators.

Right now, most companies can get away with giving lip service to following the law, but not really following it, e.g. having a cookie banner but one that doesn't really comply with the law. You probably can't get away with openly refusing to follow the law.
Ooh. So now I can launch an ec2 instance without ipv4 and just use this to reach github from it? Awesome. Hopefully abuse won't ruin it instantly lol :/
I seem to have been an outlier, but 3-5 years ago I went all in on Ubiquiti, except for APs, about a year ago pulled it completely out, partly because of problems with updates:

- One switch update enabled some sort of loop detection which broke the Google Wireless meshing with Ethernet backhaul, and their support people, after several attempts, proclaimed was not something that could be disabled. Fixed it by putting in a dumb Netgear switch that only connected the Google mesh nodes, but disappointing to find on a $400 "Prosumer" switch.

- One set of camera updates left 4 of my 5 cameras unbootable and support was unable to provide a solution for. This was after their warranty period, so I have them sitting around because I can't quite bring myself to throw them away.

I replaced the switch with a used Aruba PoE switch ($90), the cameras with a Montavue (VAR for HIKVision cameras), and BlueIris setup. It pained me because the Unifi Protect mobile app really was best in breed, but not too much because I frequently had issues with the cameras reliably booting, and would have to go through rebooting cameras for a few days after updates or a power loss.

I'd recommend Ruckus R610 used gear for wireless, though for the last ~6 months the prices on them have doubled -- I got one 9 months ago for $150 landed, and now they all seem to be more like $300+. Fantastic APs though.
>6-month lockup to keep everyone from cashing out on IPO day

This is a bit off-topic, but something I've always wondered. What if the lockup period was staggered per-employee across those 6 months? i.e. say you have a 180-day lockup, and 900 employees. On day 1, the 5 longest-tenured employees can sell. On day 2, the next 5, etc, and on day 180, the last 5. This avoids the IPO crash on day 1, and also avoids a crash 6 months later. Would something this be feasible?
Like a Kardashev type III civilisation(s).

I love that idea.

Edit: thinking about it more, it's even more interesting because this particular galaxy is far less dense than say the Milky Way, so perhaps it's basically unsuitable for colonisation/exploitation.

It also means that the Milky Way contains a Type III civilisation.

Both sides of the aisle in this debate appear to hold a common assumption that our current method of sharing knowledge (i.e. written and spoken words) are the best methods that we will ever have at our disposal.

However, should a day come when a new method circumvents this very crude way of knowledge transmission, this debate will be significantly changed or even rendered moot.
Seems like Docker + Docker Compose or GitHub Codespaces would simplify things greatly in terms of developer tooling install and setup.
SPI on Apache NuttX OS
If startups wanted to convince employees their equity was valuable, they easily could simply by adding protections to avoid many of the bad scenarios. For examples, there’s no good reason why employees shouldnt get preferred shares. The whole reason common vs preferred share distinction exists is so that the founders can’t just immediately sell the company for a bad deal and cheat the investors but employees don’t have that option. They’re told they are not given preferred shares because they’re not risking money the breath after they’re told they should turn down public liquid RSUs at a big company for startup equity instead.

Startup equity is very unfortunately broken by design. It’s a malicious feature, not a bug.

It’s a shame because many people myself included would pick the smaller company gamble over the big company if the terms were at least fair. But too many naive engineers accept awful financial instruments designed by VCs to screw employees and poison the well for everyone.

If you have a choice between public stock and common ISOs you should pick public stock 99.9999% of the time.

I live in europe.

If you get falsely arrested, and lose your realestate license because some huge company did something really wrong, I was under a steretypical impression that lawyers would be calling you 24/7 to take your case and sue them for huge amount of money (and then take a huge cut out of that)... especially for the mother and 40days jail time. Is there more to these stories, or are we just waiting for "Hertz pays X millions to falsly arrested mother" to appear in the newspapers?
It's an active area of investigation, and you're right that there's yo-yoing. But note that the article discussed in your ref is published in Cell, the same journal that also published some of the original work it's refuting. As much as NatSciCell publish sensationalized work, high impact work pretty much universally gets published there still.

It's like the nytimes. Popular to crap on it, but in the end they still put out good journalism.
Another happy Hammerspoon user reporting.

I feel Hammerspoon's Lua is to macOS what elisp is to Emacs. You can use it to glue all sorts of wonderful things.

I'm not sure why you're skeptical, it seems pretty easy enough to track down: arrest records, court papers, etc, and reports are as old as two years ago.
It is addressed here: https://p2p.nat64.dk/v6peer but I find it very unconvincing. While the arguments are technically correct, operators of Tor exit nodes know from experience this does not prevent their homes being raided.

What is wrong with NVM? Shell seems to be already fast enough for this use case though and it is already cross-platform and directly integrates with the command line. So why do we need this in 'Rust'? I'm not convinced of the reasons so far.

Would rather see Homebrew rewritten in Rust than NVM. Lots of users know that they are dying to admit that it is too slow.

If anyone cares, here's my config: https://github.com/kbd/setup/blob/master/HOME/.hammerspoon/i...

It shows off a tiny bit of what you can do with Hammerspoon:

- window and app management
- keyboard shortcuts for common apps (eg. hyper+T for text editor, hyper+B for browser, hyper+S for shell)
- if you can code a tiny bit of Lua there's no need for apps like Spectacle, Rectangle, Moom, etc. because it's easy to position apps wherever you want. eg. hyper+L arranges my browser+editor+terminal in a standard layout, and I have other shortcuts to set apps to halves or thirds of the screen, or to another monitor.
- fuzzy-find popups (like Alfred/fzf) are built-in. I use it to choose audio input/output.

Unless the property is sold, Prop 13 caps the increase at no more than 2% annually. So if you have owned a home for more than 10 years, the tax basis is probably way lower than market value -- particularly in a place like Marin County.
Her books tickled the same parts of my brain as Isaac Asimov books, she would find new ways that her initial set of rules around vampirism could be exploited and sprinkled them everywhere, really thought about the consequences of eternal life in particular. Some of the stuff may seem played out now, but you have to remember when it was written, she invented a lot of the stuff you see in modern vampire movies. I think it's appropriate she is honored here she really hacked the whole vampire concept.
According to the article, only very few people can go there. That is what I was referring to.
I recall in the days after the web-bust that there were numerous employees that were stuck owing huge tax bills because of the price their stock vetted at and were unable to do so because the prices had tanked.

I am really unable to recall any instance in which average employees were able to benefit from an IPO.

Also, I think that Class B stocks are like getting an associate producer credit on am movie. It looks nice but has no inherent value.

Ask HN: Does any company hire engineers on part-time H1Bs?
I used to work for a FANG-ish big tech company on an H1B and wanted to focus 100% on my pet projects. This left me with no other choice than to quit my job and move out of the US.

I'd still like to be able to do the same while living in the US, and if I could find someone to hire me on a part-time H1B that would work wonderfully for me.

I wasn't even sure if this was possible and I'm mainly going by articles like this one:
https://www.immihelp.com/part-time-h-1b-visa/

I've not heard of anyone be hired on a part-time H1B ever though. Does anyone know of companies that might be open to this?

I think this could be a great way to be able to hire some engineers you normally wouldn't be able to hire, so I'm surprised companies don't try to do this more often.
Not at retail. No.
