What they mean by "so low" is a change of just over one percent, and their explanation is that the modest benefits programs that ended in September are keeping people away from work in December. This is garbage from people who demonstrate no interest in comprehending the economy.
No, they don't.

Ifbyou want control over who can move in somewhere, or what can be built somewhere, you have a simple solution, buy the land in question.
Hypothetically, for the lithium batteries, what if you made a big stainless steel vacuum wall insulated enclosure? Or just a metal box with r-60 value of foam around it?

The amount of heat needing to be generated can then be calculated based on the average temp over a longer period of time, and those batteries I don't imagine have to be "warm" exactly.
On what basis do you believe long covid is significantly causing adults to not hold down a full time job?
As a Rust dev it's news to me that the language has 10 different strings. Care to elaborate?
> it will be 9 times slower

Closer to 30 times slower, as the logarithm in sorting complexity is a binary rather than decimal one.
Thanks for your post. I'm reading through some of your blog posts now - really great!

> earplugs

Can be unhealthy. Earmuffs seem to be as effective and, while you can still get damaged (risk of suction), it's difficult.

Issue: earplugs and earmuffs are designed to reduce noise, not to cancel it - to facilitate that you don't get damage from a bang but can still faintly but clearly hear your colleague calling "watch out". And, reduction in background noise amplifies the impactive - not in absolute but in relative amplitude, not in vibrational strength but in presence.
> Their aim is wrong. It would be much better to pay the back wages than pretend it's jubilee just so they can impose strings.

Well why don't they just give the money to water infrastructure in Africa then? Surely that's a more worthy aim if we get to decide what their aim should be for them? Or their aim could be to help teach coding to the young, that's just as valid.

Their aim is to develop new tech, thus asking people to pitch what they would develop if given funding seems like a sensible approach.

This is also funded by money the German Government has allocated for R&D, so it has also been budgeted for 'new tech' rather than just rewarding historical contributors through donations. If the prototype foundation aimed to reward historical contributions, their current funding likely wouldn't exist, and if they don't show how they contribute towards R&D then the funding won't exist in the future.

Besides, Why is their aim wrong? Should there be no funding for people who want to create new public interest tech?
But once you use gas only for cooking, maintaining all the expensive and dangerous infrastructure isn't worth it and more.

Much cheaper to put a nice electric induction cooktop into every kitchen than to run gas onto every floor.
I guess more like 30 times slower. Consider mergesort and quicksort, which both (aim to) halve the search space with every iteration. There is a log2 amount of steps. 2 is our base. And yes, base 2 and base 10 logarithms will always be within a constant factor of one another, but seeing as we _are_ talking about constant factors here to begin with...
"How to win friends and influence people"

I suspect there’s no single cause (as is the case for all complex issues), but I’ll just respond to those saying that the 1m+ excess deaths can’t be a cause because those people were predominantly retired: you need to consider the second-order effects.

When the 70+ population dies, dealing with the consequences is tough, both emotionally and organizationally. It’s totally plausible that their working age children need to take extended time off work to deal with grief and estate wind-up. And those who inherited substantial estates may not see the need to return to work - at least not right away. Their own retirement plans may have been effectively moved forward.
India desperately needs a social reform if they really want to upgrade.

There's a lot of social discrimination in several domains going on that is fueled by the core old traditional culture values. Which is then exploited heavily by politicians for short term gains.

One needs to realize why do Indians succeed only after they leave the country for some foreign land?
Autistic persons may get complications from eating gluten, because it may not break down completely and instead forms gliadorphin (gluteomorphin), which is a morphine peptide. It causes damage to intestinal villi and reduces gut motility, hiding the damage.
My ability to skim read has worked wonders for my career. I can't sit and read an article or book from top to bottom, but I estimate I consume 10x as much information daily than the average person. It's a blessing and a curse.
I think the certifications are worth it, at least the pro level ones. Because they do give you a full picture of good AWS architecture and what services are a good fit together.

I've seen what some developers without certifications put together on AWS and it's a mess.

But this re:Post thing I don't believe in personally. I'm so tired of these giant tech companies building walled gardens and censoring and controlling anyone inside.
I often have this thought of how different the world sounded when combustion engines (cars, motorcycles, planes, tractors, etc) weren't ubiquitous.

I happily grew up in the 80s in a place (communist Poland, so rather small car ownership) with very little artificial noise, but that is gone now.

How was it hundreds of years ago?
I sort of remember there is a novel about someone who travel back in time and use a nuclear mushroom cloud as a signal that he is from the future.

I think to avoid drawing attention (like talking about quark, dark energy etc.) each era must have something that is iconic in the future, but people in the same era does not aware of.

Imagine someone talked about Mac OS future version and that it will run under arm. That may alert that he is from the future without too much attention.
For the record most (all?) induction cook tops have a glass surface too. Also induction ones are not that much more expensive. Here in Finland the price difference is ~50e when compared to a ceramic ("glass") one.

And as for cooking experience I prefer induction. It heats up the fastest and can control the heat just fine.
> GPL software should use the same predatory tactics as proprietary, and trend chase. Focus primarily on trend-chasing and marketing, focus on getting cash by any means necessary other than not making the source available. Market hard, dual license.

I'd rewrite this as "People who want to make money from GPL software should ...", because GPL software in general doesn't have to have a commercial goal.
I'm looking for a Markdown editor that can save directly to GitHub, with the ability to make drafts (feature branches and possibly PRs) and reviews (accept the PR or merge to main) directly from the editor and hide as much as possible the complexity of Git. The idea is this could be used by non-technical persons to edit Markdown files in a Git repository that is turned into a static site by whatever means technical people could come up with (Jekyll, Pandoc, whatever).
So if I SSH into my remote machine, with the appropriate forwarding agents and wayland in place I can run evolution?

Ok I will give that a go.

That reminds me when will Wayland be able to support disparate displays say one big display on 4k with 30 bit colour and two others on QHD and 24 bit colour?
While that is the only guarantee it can provide - in practice it ends up being a lot more powerful. Eg most multithreading issues in Java occur due to totally missing synchronization - because developers either didn’t think about threads or didn’t have enough experience to apply correct synchronization. In Rust the compiler would already have complained about these cases, and eg the design of the Mutex type - which wraps data instead of standing next to it - makes it hard to abuse.
Please educate yourself. I was as ignorant as you on this topic, then, guess what, I found I actually have it myself and it's explained a lot of the suffering in my life. I am based in Europe FWIW.

EDIT: yikes, given the rest of your comments downthread, please do yourself a favour and do some research before repeating your preconceived and incorrect notions of something you don't know much about. It's fine not to know, it's not fine to think you know something you don't.
While there's probably some value in posting the resources "everyone knows", Papers with Code was submitted multiple times in the past few years, which is a pretty common HN thing (whether this behavior is desired is up to dang and the community I guess).
So a huge pandemic has been raging through the world for almost 2 years now, massively reconfiguring the world in so many ways. lockdowns, deaths, fear, government subsidies, cheap money, GME and unions, several global mindshift changes e.g of how crucial low wage jobs are or how short life is. But the bean counters are confused about why “labor supply” is low. hmmmm

Or maybe they aren’t confused, they're worried.

> More broadly, the participation rate has generally underperformed in economies with large increases in household liquidity. The most notable case in point is Chile, where the participation rate declined by 5pp as fiscal support and pension withdrawals flooded households with liquidity.

“if people have money they might not work at jobs”. jobs that have systematically trained them over decades to expect a paycheck but nothing else, not loyalty or satisfaction or upward mobility or any semblance of agency. wow. fucking clueless.
Could you elaborate how this is an advantage?

In my previous role, my manager argued for my work as a developer to be charged as Capex to the project instead of Opex.

Why would accountants want the opposite for AWS?
I thought I wanted a completely stripped down Markdown editor (I currently use Typora, and Notepad++ with plugins). But after reading your list, I agree, these would be very nice to have.
Ikea, $60. Or $15 for an even cheaper set.

Maybe this is because induction hobs are much more common in Europe.

It'll be interesting to see how electrification of transport changes this. Here in Europe we're phasing out ICE at quite a rate and the proposed euro 7 standards are so strict that it will also alter what the car fleet looks like.

We live on a main road (although it's all relative, it's single lane in both directions and limited to 30mph) and i've already started noticing that the majority of what I hear is now tyre noise.
No it doesn't.

>long term you want to use those rockets to put the people,

Sure, maybe in very limited capacity, like why not build stuff in giant parts like giant lego blocks on the planet
and have some robots and a few people assemble it in orbit.

Rather then have 10K people work extremely inefficient and dangerous in zero gravity(I am assuming you mean we capture asteroids and we build stuff from bare minerals up). Imagine what extremely expensive factories you need that work in zero gravity(things fly everywhere at a small bump) , so maybe first we build a giant rotating space station using parts made on Earth.

In the long term we should have better rockets , maygbe we pt a space station in the important points in our solar system and send them this big lego parts so they can just assemble them.

Personally I see no way humans can live and work more efficient in space compared to live and build stuff on Earth and pay some guys to build big rockets and move the stuff into space, even in long term. What we are missing today is the ability to have guys present when the telescope unfolds to help with problems and manually do fine calibrations, if we could have that we could build a giant mirror made from small parts and have people just help connect the parts
JWST won’t orbit the Earth. It will orbit around the L2 Lagrange point.
Oh, don't get me wrong, I have worked on interesting things with entrepreneurs, without pay, for months at a time. Or even asked for a certain amount, and then never took any money. And I have also worked on interesting problems for far less than what even a mid-level engineer could earn at a decent company.

It isn't always about the pay, but it is often about weeding out the people who would take advantage. There is cheap, and there is poor, and for some parts of my career I have confused the two.

Much like I won't pay for something just because it is expensive, but I will often pay for the more expensive option rather than the cheaper one. Expensive doesn't always mean good, but it is a differentiator and a signalling mechanism.

I use compensation as a litmus test to determine if someone is trying to take advantage of me. If the company is trying to low-ball me, that means to me, not that they are financially cheap (though some are, and you can smell them from as far away as the dog's dinner from two nights ago), but that they believe me to be naive and exploitable. I might be an immigrant, but it doesn't mean that I stepped off the boat yesterday.

Out of all the benefits and bonuses and culture that a company has, all of which can be taken away or changed in an eye blink (Activision's purchase of Blizzard for instance) for a variety of reasons, base compensation is exceptionally hard to hand wave away. Companies that don't pay well usually have crap culture, lousy benefits and work-life balance that truly sucks. Again, for me, compensation is a signalling mechanism.
I so relate. I was once able to test drive a Audi R8 Spyder because the agency I work for works for Audi.

The motor sound isn't anything near quiet. Far from it. But I was astounded to find a button that enables a loud motor sound function.

With this button pressed the sound makes a lot of bikes sound like child toys. I really don't understand how one needs to show off in such a fashion and explicitly expressing a loud (pun intended) f** you to the rest of the world.
> Induction doesn’t get hot enough, and it’s not possible to heat a wok on one anyway. You can make a stir fry in a pan

This is not true at all. I have been cooking with my wok for years using induction. Only real requirement is that your wok has a flat bottom which while not 100% traditional works just fine.
This reminded me immediately of Typora too. I like the WYSIWYG user interface and the large number of keyboard shortcuts they share.
You must have not tried to use Outposts when they came out.

Propaganda and lies.

Propaganda.

And lies.

And maybe a little bit of marketing. But I repeat myself.
I own Philips Pro 6105 headphones.

While they are nothing special and aren't expensive (~$30), their shape keeps noise levels from airflow low while biking. I've owned them for about 3 years now and they are still going strong.
What are some pain points in the Azure one?
As someone who is considering upgrading to a quest 2, I'd like to know more. Everything I've read about it says it's close to top of the market in terms of visual quality and comfort. I presume I'd have to use it tethered with steamVR, just like my current acer headset... though I'm equally sure that undemanding titles should be OK untethered.

So what gives? Why do users in your circle regret it? And where does the vr community hang out, so I can learn more?
Wow. Cool. Do you have any data on that?

I live near a school (equivalent to middle as well as high school). The rest is a purely residential area.

I feel that living near a school in the morning with mommy driving little Kevin to school in big SUV and little Kevin's older brother revving his engine as much as he can with his car comes probably somewhat close.
I don't consider this rude or blunt, but rather incomplete as I really am not sure what points are frustrating for you or what you would hope someone takes away from it -- I'm an outside observer on the cloud subject as I have seen huge debates over use of the public cloud internally at my company and also with client companies.

I've seen the billing costs of the public cloud absolutely demolish an IT org's yearly budget in a month because of unexpected cost upticks, and I've seen a reduction in total cost of ownership by reducing needed licensing/staff/building costs. I get both sides on what the public cloud can do.

I've also seen what you can do on-premises; I've worked with clients who manage 7000+ machines (mostly virtual + some physical) with a team of 4 using pretty reasonably priced on-site hardware. (pro-tip, I guess Hitachi boxes are absurdly great servers with fantastic uptime, pockmarked only by an absolutely horrendous UI to manage)

My experience from the many clients I work with is that it is less about the specific stack you settle on and more your comfort level in getting the most efficiency out of it. The deeper and more intimate you are with all levels of your infrastructure, the better you know how to eke out the most from every single $.01 you spend on it.
I am not sure I understand the question, sorry.
Well that scratched a lot of itches. Thank you very much for a wonderful Christmas present.
How do you get the results data? Do you use APIs or just scrape the results?
Hmm, OTOH the _only_ reason I like LogSeq is because of the outliner format.

I think there are a lot of different styles out there which manifest in how different people end up using these tools.

I ended up moving from Obsidian to Logseq basically just to get "native outline format", and LogSeq is in that sense an "offline, open-format version of Roam".
Yeah, the Xbox Series X sells out everywhere the minute supply becomes available — I've been casually trying to buy one for a while now. The Quest 2 certainly sold well, but the comparison is just a comparison of supply, not demand. Oculus sold more Quest 2s because it manufactured more Quest 2s (because the components were less in short supply this year).

It's somewhat weird that the PS5 has had so many more units though.

Maybe a bit off-topic but does someone know of a good code scaffold generator for go? Something like rails new, and rails generate?
I think the root cause of this is that ASN.1 is deemed uncool and it is difficult to implement a standard compliant FOSS compiler for all the encodings. I was surprised doing research into binary XML and JSON how far you get with ASN.1 . However, the ecosystem seems so discoupled from anything else that there is rarely an implementation path for a quick win beyond mentioned hacky parsers that are both error prone and inefficient or purchasing some obscure commercial complier as I remember.

Edit: would be really happy to see some good open source compilers with extensible encoding support being listed here
LOL Awesome
Heat pumps are used all over the Nordics and work just fine. Air one can get quite expensive to run during the coldest days but ground heat pumps literally do not care how cold it is outside (the ground temperature will stay the same anyway)

For Helsinki they are moving to heat pumps for the district heating as they want to close the 2 remaining coal plants in the next couple years.
Induction gives you most of the benefits of gas: instant heat control. It's even faster heating than gas, easier to clean, safer to use.

The hob itself costs more, and the cheapest pans aren't compatible. Gas is often cheaper to run.

Other than initial purchase price, a normal electric hob has no advantages.
It's morally unacceptable to participate in such practices.
Most gamers who try VR will do that, sure. They do like their comfort zone. Most people, though? That's a different question.

Who ever said VR was, or even should be, for people who identify as "gamers"? It's a wholly different interaction style, and there's no obvious reason why anyone should expect "gamer" games already highly optimized for their existing platforms to fit it. Aiming a gun precisely in VR is a pain in the ass, but you just can't do anything that feels like Beat Saber anywhere else.

Too, the "gamer"-identified market is both deeply saturated and extremely whiny, typically demanding an endless stream of trivial iterations on existing franchises while broadly spurning on this ground alone anything that dares to attempt novelty. EA and Ubisoft are exactly what the "gamer"-identifying market deserves, and also the world leaders in being EA and Ubisoft. Try to disrupt that and you just rehash Windows phones vs. Apple and Android.

And, in both cases, why should this be something you want? Look at the Wii, which had no more use for "gamers" than they had for it, and profited handsomely by that disdain. If I were trying to get a VR studio off the ground, that's the kind of lightning I'd be chasing - try to win by doing something new, and happily leave the "gamer"-identifying niche to the more-of-the-same it so loudly insists upon.

Making music.
It is a life long project.
Learning to play instruments (guitar first then drums, piano and bass)
Then understanding what ‘my’ music is and developing that relationship.
Meeting my soul-sister and making ‘our’ music and understanding how creative magic is.
Becoming a producer and all the tech parts of recording, engineering etc

Going through the phases of life and music with regards to ego/success and just standing back and just feeling complete love towards this amazing thing we have been blessed to be part of the human experience.
There is unused capacity, but all batteries in an EV are used slightly over a commute. That can lead to a much less damaging wear-pattern on the batteries, extending their life by a lot.
Same here. I bought the Quest 2 after I couldn't get my hands on a PS5. Amazing tech but I still find it uncomfortable after playing for longer than 15 min. The more I need to move my head during a game the worse it is. I also find the fitness games the most fun and best fit for VR. Eleven ping pong is amazing. I also like boxing but I stopped playing it as I always feel shitty afterwards (Stride was the worse game for me). I tried RE4 which was fun, but I think for story games I'd enjoy playing more on the Xbox or PS, since I will be able to play it for longer and the quality of the graphics is more important than the immersiveness. I'm sure others have different opinions. Any games you recommend?
Eh? If my grandmother's sex "tapes" (we're probably talking 16mm film) are circulating, good for her! I sincerely hope she had a more excitement in her life than simply raising kids in the depression. I would be proud.

How would my child feel about videos of me and/or his mother? I'm pretty sure just as squicked as any kid will be about the idea of their parents having sex. Which they all know we do. You pretend otherwise to your kids?
