It might be because people did report on in trying to run GNOME 3.8 without logind, and reported massive faults?

And no, not in "GDM doesn't clean up after itself", which was given as explanation for the infamous "systemd now defaults to destroying everything in a session on logout" change few years later. (Which GDM could require anyway earlier, but apparently somehow it wasn't enough)

There is a lot of good ideas that went into systemd though, and I'd agree that a lot of anger is in how badly they are implemented (the only reason I do not complain more about systemctl is because upstart managed to be even worse). In my copious free time, I've been tinkering at alternative, but even if I disagree at the format of systemd service files, it includes a parser for them.

And people will keep using StackOverflow for AWS questions anyway.

As long as StackExchange keeps publishing under Creative Commons, I don't know why anyone would bother making their own Q&A forum, even a platform as big as AWS. Programmers would rather have a one-stop-shop for all their questions, which often cut across multiple topics anyway.

West had a game-breaking advantage over the SU. It could've threatened Soviets with that power. Instead it folded and gave them everything they wanted.

Presumably West wouldn't even need to drop the bombs - just use the threat for negotiations.
You may have read something in my comment I didn't (mean to) express - none of thr companies open source their crown jewels (e.g. Windows). I subjectively don't see how Microsoft can be seen as the most open, and I was curious to know how parent came to that conclusion. Microsoft (and perhaps Apple too) are the ones with a history of antagonism with open-source/GPL.
DIY Off-Grid Solar Power
Los Angeles kicked out their manufacturing a couple decades ago. They literally refused to issue electrical permits to upgrade manufacturing lines. After some years the plants became noncompetitive and employers left town.
Really? I remember Jeffrey Dahn saying they were effectively unlimited, for whatever LFP chemistry they were testing, back when the million mile battery was being advertised.

Also LFPs don't have sourcing issues, and I think the minimum range hubrid should be 70 miles, so that would be bigger than 10kwr.

If 10kwhr is only 20-30 miles... I think we should have 25kwhr at a minimum. 20-30 miles becomes like 10 miles in deep winter, and even then the ICE is doing the heat/cooling. You need 70 miles to handle weather range degradation for that sweet 50 mile daily usage range.
If the building codes don’t require safe gas installations that seems like a problem that could be resolved by updating the codes to require safe gas installations. That doesn’t appear to be the basis of the policy described in the article though.
Awesome sounds good to me. Labels don’t make the person, actions do.
If they do it right, they’ll treat this internally as a user feedback forum. If a question about a service has hundreds of upvotes that almost certainly means the service itself should change so that either the answer to the question is obvious or (better) the question is no longer meaningful.

It's fast to calculate, simple to understand, and doesn't make assumptions about the underlying distributions. This makes it a more effective generic tool for practitioners. Perhaps useful in the way the Pearson correlation is useful.

I'd like to learn more about the small sample properties. Proofs of asymptotics are necessary but less interesting. But the author's examples on example data sets look like it makes sense.

Ok, so, what are we going to generate energy with? Nuclear is a non-starter, coal is dirty, so without gas, wind and solar are simply not capable of getting the job done in a cold snap.

Now this natural gas house has a 10kwh whole house battery backup too? Hope your refrigerator can also last a year off that battery pack (oh wait it's a ac compressor too!),

Heat Pump for heat, Heat Pump water heater is the future for new home builds. Buy a portable generator, a 10kwh gasoline generator is <$1,000 USD and 1/10th the price of a 10kwh batter pack. Problem solved.
How much would the upgrade cost, can anyone estimate?
This got me thinking that it would be nice to have some sort of recursive processing in which if you say, that Flanders is personalizing Obama, then when you quote "My fellow Americans", you should hear an attempt of Flanders saying that the Obama's way. A way to detect fake voices, I guess :P

For me, the essential point of web 3.0 apps isn't the use of blockchain as datastore but user-generated keypairs for authentication instead of a `users` table in a database: no more "sign up" buttons, just connect.

Same. I’m still way too early in career but I would love to get a few friends and crank out a couple short games.
I would like something like that in France.

The point is that there are plenty 'national subventions' one can apply in local European countries. But I have never seen one with rules so 'down to Earth'/'realistic'. Like the range of subject is large. They don't care if you are an individual or a registered entity. They don't require to have some credentials like being a student or an academic. They work on the idea of giving multiple small sums instead of few big ones. Totally oriented on the dev open source software.
They were intimidating to me so I never went. Add the weather variability, and knee wear when running on pavement, and I just stuck to the treadmill the whole time. Even for the half-marathons. I realize I missed out on the social aspect, but if you are running with headphones and huffing and puffing, how much socializing is there? I guess the socializing must happen before and after.

Even still, maybe I’ll give it a try. Thanks for the tip.
> why did you decide to make Bangle's interface look like that of VS Code / Monaco[1]? At first I thought this was just VS Code running in the browser.

It is just a personal preference but I find VS code's UI, especially the command palettes (inspired by sublime?) a good interface for notes.

> By the way, I can't find the "install" button on app.bangle.io that is mentioned in the FAQ.

If you open the app in Chrome (or any chromium browser), you will see a sign to install the app as a PWA (progressive web app) next to the URL.

> On a different note, IMO using Electron for an app is not a bad choice per se. It's just that editors written in web technologies usually suck because they are so slow compared to, say, Vim/Emacs/Sublime

In my opinion going the Electron route is a lot of work for a single developer and you loose the portability of a web application.

> But to be honest CPU load is much more important to me

I think you will be delighted to see that Bangle is pretty performant. I would recommend opening a heavy app like 10000-markdown-files[0] to get a rough idea.

> what's the benefit of using Bangle over Marktext?

I haven't used Marktext, though it looks like a great project. I think the differentiating factor would be:

- Bangle.io is focused more on the overall note taking experience, like backlinks, workspaces, collaboration etc.

- I am planning to allow the ability to add extensions to add more functionality. Being a web app is really conducive for such things.

- It allows you to open multiple tabs, split screen.

I hope you give Bangle.io a shot, there are a bunch of things currently missing, but we will get there <3.

Why fight your muscle memory? Do `alias xv=qiv`
I lived in Miami in the late 1980s, and recall an article about an architectural student that demonstrated a low cost housing solution along similar lines. The local building codes were changed almost immediately to prevent any such units from being constructed (because “safety”).

A hexayurt is good enough most of the time and costs very little, but apparently no one can afford enough politicians to be permitted to help
I've not yet read the article, just the abstract. But the abstract is pretty precise, and being "measurable" is a very weak constraint. For (computationally) complex functions like a hash, my first guess is the "escape clause" is in the number of samples needed for the statistic to converge to its expected value.
> If you take out the engine - it doesn't run

And there are parts of the brain that you can reliably take out and damage specific things like speech/language or facial recognition.
The breaker size almost never matters in a circuit, including ac/heat pumps. These units are rated in MOCP (max overcurrent protection, aka, the breaker size) and MCA (minimum circuit ampacity, aka, what gauge wire to run.) You actually want to look up your unit's RLA (running load amps) which is what it's likely to max pull most of the time.

I'm assuming you're talking about a 4 ton multi-zone unit (which is pretty large). Those call for a 50A MOCP, but in reality, they only draw like 20A while running, plus a couple for the indoor units' fans.
Nice! What about Flanders doing an impression of Obama doing an impression of Flanders?
First post FUD needs to be autobanned on HN. This toxic negativity leaves such a poor taste in my mouth
It seems worse simply because it’s concentrated in a small area. The project would actually be less disruptive in NYC than doing the same thing for 8+ million people in the suburbs somewhere. Especially if they could reuse tunnels built for deprecated systems like copper phone lines.

Hell NYC already has district heating, adding a tunnel under the existing building could swap things over for 1700+ customers with minimal disruption. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City_steam_system
This is an unwelcome change for me. Cooking with a flame is important to us culturally, and is simply part of the experience.
This is the kind of environmental authoritarianism that I cannot stand, and bans in general feel like an aggressive tool, whether it is about gas cars or gas cooking/heating.

Even for heating, natural gas is just way cheaper. I have both a new high efficiency electric heat pump and a high efficiency natural gas furnace, and if I choose to heat via the heat pump I spend a multiple more of my entire natural gas bill.
My opinion is that you're missing a lot of good talent with this sort of approach. There are people that are just as good/fast at solving problems in a quiet space with the ability to play around with trial and error in an actual dev environment. They can answer your questions well too, given some time to mull it over quietly.

Being able to do it on a whiteboard with people around you, and answering questions right when they are asked is a skill, I admit. It's a poor analog for what the work usually ends up being, though.
The paper discusses MIC in particular at least. They suggest that MIC sometimes overstates the strength of a noisy relationship, giving the example of a bivariate normal mixture (Figure 9). In that example MIC is 1, but the new measure is 0.48 or something, which seems more reasonable.
I don't even know where to start on this. Even running a gas line from the street is a couple grand. My heat pump also cools my house and was 5 grand installed. Whatever that difference is, it's a rounding error in the price of a home. Not to mention the cost savings over the life of the system, or you know, if AC holds any value at all.

Rolling blackouts and people freezing to death? Because new housing uses 200 more kWh per month? Are you really serious?

Man-made gas through existing lines? Where exactly is that happening? Where is it close to happening? Where are people even talking about thinking about making it happen? How about any form of energy that has ever, or will ever exist through existing lines? That's what electricity is.

I just... I'm so confused right now.
It's funny you say that because the only reason the electricity supply collapsed is because the natural gas supply collapsed. So no, you would have been just as cold.
You only "own" something on a blockchain so long as someone cares about that blockchain. Your keys can also be stolen or lost so your "ownership" is as tenuous as the security of your keys.

Blockchain content isn't much more permanent than content hosted on a traditional server.
That’s exactly what happens with cancel culture. Nothing is off limits and context of a person’s actions and works is lost and scrutinized as if it were now.
If your power goes out you're not running a natural gas furnace anyway
> like the feeling that they were being swamped by people who spoke a different langauge, that were crowding their schools and health service

That's the most ignorant of excuses. Do these people think we come to UK to get benefits and because we're weak and sick? People immigrate when they're young and healthy and of working age. They don't crowd the health service and are net positive taxpayers and contributors to the economy.

But of course the average "immigrants are stealing our jobs" voter isn't capable of deep concepts like this. Sorry, but as a son of immigrants and an immigrant myself I have no patience for ignorance and small-mindedness.

Now we've left the EU, BoJo offered temporary visas to drive lorries during the fuel crisis this summer and there's no one to pick the potatoes and parsnips out of the British fields.

Gas water heaters do not require electric power. There are no wires to connect.

The spark to light the pilot is a piezoelectric thing, manually operated. Newer models (less than ~15 years?) have a control board which is probably mostly mechanical, but does have a flashing LED. I assume that whatever drives the electronics is charged/powered by something that works off the differential of temperature in the chamber vs outside.
I used to have fairly severe chronic pain (facial neuralgia) that was fixed with surgery and it's exactly like the original poster described.
Right now there are 318 comments and 153 points.. nearly 2:1 comments. I’ve noticed that the most political and controversial articles/topics tend to be this way, where as the most technical links tend to have such a ratio in the other direction. It almost makes me wonder if I should filter HN by such a ratio to find the “interesting” links.

Anyone else notice these trends?

Wow, alerted by a few pull requests and then pleasantly surprised to see this here.

As tyingq pointed out, this is not a list of "open source" languages, though I don't think it was too off for the OP to add that since indeed most of them are. It's also a bit broader than "programming languages". The list is termed "computer languages". That is the main category and ~75% of the langs, but formats and other things are counted as well (see table below). Even musical notations make an appearance, as I find those relevant to people interested in designing computer languages for music, or visual languages in general. While the focus is on computer languages, I think it's helpful to have a light touch of some of the earlier developments in language in general. So I didn't draw explicit lines, rather the strategy is to keep focus on programming languages with a peripheral view of the bigger picture.

As to accuracy, in general, there are ~420,000 cells in my "spreadsheet". My initial target accuracy was ~98% or so. Gathering the cells was a mixture of manual curation, crawlers, simple NLP models, and contributions from the community.

This project sadly fell by the wayside. I need to decide whether to 1) abandon it and instead just contribute facts as I find them to the relevant pages on Wikipedia or 2) determine if there's a good reason to build a fact site like this outside Wikipedia and if so get it into gear.

Sorry about any inaccuracies and thank you for the feedback (and especially the pull requests!).

If people knew typical noise levels across the day and across the year, it would change everything about travel bookings and real estate searches.

Makes me wonder if we should go the other direction entirely in very cold climates. Why isn’t home cogeneration a thing? Run a natural gas ICE engine or fuel cell and heat with the waste heat, dumping the surplus power into the grid after powering the home.

This would avoid wasting the useful work potential of the gas while probably being no more expensive than heat pumps and avoiding the blackout issues you cite.

> I hope something like a radiator-heat-pump can be made soon.

These exist, but are quite rare in the U.S. Check out air-to-water heat pumps from Sanden[1] and Chiltrix[2]. I seriously considered this for my new house (still in planning stages), but at double the cost of an air-to-water heat pump system it didn't make the cut. If they were more common, the cost would come down, but I think it's a chicken/egg thing at this point.

Of course, water-to-water (geothermal) heat pumps have been in the States for decades, and if I recall there are still federal tax credits available for them, but they're even more expensive and probably only make sense in very cold climates.

In fact the article confirms this :)
Norway is approx 5.4 million people and NYC is about 8.8, so while the population is greater, it’s not by an order of magnitude or anything.

Norway is also much colder than NYC. I would imagine in terms of energy needed for heating, the two would be comparable.
Let's be honest, all of this is really motivated by empathy, the goal is to avoid thinking of people with ASD as "worse" than other people.

The reality is that nobody would want their child be autistic. People with autism have an extremely high unemployment rate. So clearly, it's not a neutral personality trait. You don't get diagnosed with a personality trait.

I say this despite suspecting that I could be on the spectrum. But I'm annoyed by the trend of bending reality just because it makes people feel better.
Absent humans, this still applies:
