No you don't deserve anything. Just like a rice farmer doesn't deserve to have a monopoly on selling rice to the village he lives in.

We had, in fact, three — we called the one in Libya Trablusgarp, Trablus of the West, and he one in Lebanon Trablusşam, Trablus of the Levant, and we call the only one that we have left in Anatolia, today's Turkey, Tirebolu. Just like hashes, given a large enough empire, name collisions are inevitable.

Edit: Corrected one of the names. Thanks @egiboy.

A title like "practicalities of $torture_practice" is pretty much self-flagging, even if you don't know offhand what the blood eagle was.
I think it would be better to tax non-profits just as we do profit-seeking corporations.

Let people get together and worship but there's no reason to allow the accumulation and skimming off of billions of dollars from the tax economy by churches or other "charitable" organizations. They use the infrastructure and members of society just as much as anyone.
Except it's nothing like they describe. I live in Amsterdam and use bike everyday, I constantly see families on a cargo bikes and they couldn't have been happier.
I noticed in the year I lived in London how nice it was to never actually use my car, even though it did move to London with me. Obviously, London is very much not a car-free zone, but the public transportation is sufficient that a car isn't needed, and driving is generally such a frustrating experience that you only do it when you have to, usually for getting out of the city and going somewhere else where you need the car.
Yep. For many other chapters as well.
I think the original DynamoDB paper is a good choice - some interesting CS/systems engineering content but relatively accessible.

Graph databases will not overtake relational databases in 2030 by marketshare.

Bookmark this comment. Reach out to me in 2030. If I'm wrong, I will replace my official CMU photo with one of me wearing a shirt that says "Graph Databases Are #1". I will use that photo until I retire, get fired, or a former student stabs me.

I quite like Q for this though it doesn't have graphs.

Jd is also decent. More expressive languages for data.
Uphill, both ways.

Joking aside: that's not unusual at all here. Kids from Monickendam and Volendam go to school in Amsterdam for instance. That's easily 45 minutes, rain or shine and nobody really complains, it's just normal.

The feeling of independence of movement from your parents is more than worth the effort, it also gives you a ton of options after school. Compared to having to be chauffeured everywhere it certainly has its perks.
Disney owning what amounts to a controlling share of mass culture is roughly comparable to patent trolls. The copyright clause that enables copyright law is about protecting creators from rogue publishers. It was never meant to control what individuals could do with copyright protected works, short of publishing for profit.
I tried to train myself to become ambidextrous at one point.

I failed, but in the process, I learned a few interesting things - one of which was that it was far easier for me to train myself to competently use my left hand for mousing than for writing.

This might be the case for you, too - try using your left hand to mouse for a day or two and see if you can get the hang of it.
> If you turn off the startup chime sound (which is a checkbox in system settings), that cuts out 2 seconds of iBoot time and makes it 14 seconds total.

Lol, wait, so the startup chime blocks the rest of the boot process?! I would have expected the system to be working on booting while the chime was playing.

Now I'm not sure whether I should keep the chime turned on. I like the chime, but I'm not sure I want to pay two extra seconds for it. :)
I always say I am unhappy and would take another offer in a heatbeat, and so far that strategy has worked well for me - I usually get offered a good salary bump amd bonus every year. Obviously YMMV.
A new cargobike (Christianiacycel) costs 1.5k Euro in Denmark, which is certainly not known for being cheap, so unless you buy a crazy luxury cargo bike you can get like 3 of those for < 5k. And probably much cheaper if you go second-hand.

And yes, there's plenty of these on the streets, not only owned by rich people.
Your youthful innocence presumably shielded you from having had to work with the corresponding keyboard driven text menu systems that preceded these mouse based GUI systems. I assure you that they could be far less pleasant to use.

Granted, for any input modality, there are better and worse designs using it, but when designed properly, having an additional modality available can never be a disadvantage. When a newer modality replaces, rather than supplements, an older one, the benefits are often more debatable.
I'm just saying:

* The FDA aren't interested in 90% of products, they mostly just do food and medicine.

* There are million of chemicals, assessing them all is an impossibly large task even for the US government.

* There is no evidence at all that this chemical is dangerous. If there were that would be different. But there isn't.

* I'm not saying it is (they are) safe. Just that there is no evidence of danger here.
What kind of "startup product" is 15 or 20 years old and has been unchanged since then?

That would be older than Google for example.
Hyundai Motors Will Reportedly No Longer Develop Internal Combustion Engines
Because Japanese culture accepts failure. Admission and acceptance preserves honour. Western culture, particularly in north America, punishes the admission of failure. Everyone is supposed to fight things out to the last, to never give an inch. Even when companies settle cases they rarely admit wrongdoing publicly. Notice that this Japanese company talks about re-educating/training personnel. An American company would be expected to sack all involved and sue the consulting firm.
Yeah, it's interesting to me how China (and Hong Kong, etc.) have seemed to follow the discredited Le Corbusier model of tall isolated residential towers surrounded by trees and roads. Perhaps it's a mistake or perhaps it's a requirement for density? Medium density development like Barcelona or Brooklyn is really surprisingly dense—enough for almost everywhere in the western world. China has just far more people, though, so maybe they need to go taller.
I'm not a chemist. (Worse, I'm a physicist). But I have several relatives who are chemists. And I work for chemists. I think there's an issue right now, which is that market demand for computer programmers has created a distorted view of all other occupations. That's not going away any time soon, and if it does, there will be some other "hot" occupation.

I think what makes people want to become natural scientists is a genuine interest in how things work, plus either an innate or learned ability to "think" in a certain way that works for their field of study. I don't have a good way to describe it, but a sense that a chemist thinks like a chemist. A scientist is obsessed with learning how things work. The different fields are different approaches to finding that out, that work for their respective domains. Trying to figure out how a frog works by thinking like a physicist will result in a lot of dead frogs.

The other post mentions food science. Stodgy, yes. Fascinating, you bet. Food isn't going away. The problems of making food abundant, pure, healthy, safe, and ecological, are going to get more and more challenging. It can be stodgy because we have to control our impulse to try dangerous experiments on human subjects, or make a mistake that brings down a production line or triggers a recall. But oddly enough there are people who get their excitement out of working within that constrained environment.

You have to embrace the stodge. Something I've noticed about chemists, is that they tend to have the best discipline about running controlled, repeatable experiments. They keep the best notebooks.

Chemistry is closely related to materials science. Any realistic development of a material beyond the basic research phase will require the involvement of a chemist. Likewise drug manufacturing, etc.
The only way reasonably dense cities such as Amsterdam could accommodate everyone's desire to drive is by tolerating dirty air, severe congestion and roads that are dangerous and unpleasant for people walking or cycling. From experience it is entirely possible to raise a family in a city without owning a car, even in a country that isn't as enlightened towards urban planning as the Netherlands.

The thing about Dutch planning that is even nicer than their car constraining policies in the cities is that safe cycling is provided for way beyond city limits. A few years ago I took my family on holiday to the Netherlands and we travelled safely and comfortably by bike, both in the cities, the countryside and the villages in between.

It doesn't surprise me that not everyone is happy. Car drivers have been able to claim the lions share of scarce road space for themselves for so long, equality must feel like victimisation.
Complete tasks without leaving a message – Gmail Help
I often find when I'm not actively writing code and am just scrolling up and down reading, it's nice to just pick the mouse up off the table and sit or stand with my arm and hand in a more neutral position, with my finger somewhere near the scroll-wheel/surface. I'll sometimes even switch it over to my left and give my right a break.

But also, as a left-handed person I still use my right for the mouse when using it more actively, so I could scribble thoughts simultaneously with my left if I wanted to. I think I might have only done that like, once.

Where I live car ownership and wealth correlates very strongly. The poorest don't own any cars and rely on bikes and public transit. The richest own several. On the other hand, poorer people tend to live near major roadways and suffer from noise and air pollution. So it is in fact usually the poorer demographics who ask for more bike lanes.
Yeah I think that uniform time(space)—domain distribution constraint is the one that the author identifies as the main problem here.
Here’s an outrageous belief to complement this:

It will never happen. We’re simply not smart enough to create such a system that won’t be too much of an inconvenience for developers and users.

And the underlying cause is that “too much of an inconvenience” is any inconvenience at all.
I think while ressources are available, localized event (even major) and its not world-ending, this is true and a beacon of hope in humanity.

However when ressources are no longer produced, people get hungry and desperate with no lights at the end of the tunnel, i.e. real game-changing global catastrophe, I hope I am wrong (and hope even more to never test that theory), but I doubt this would bring the best of humanity overall.

Fear mongers have one good thing: if you can reply with facts and destroy their theories, nutcase aliens mind controlling aside, it means that it has been studied or acknowledged. Simple dismissal might not be the best way to fix holes or anxious bodies.
since you just quoted the part saying that is one of the things not covered by copyright I guess the answer would be no?

I'm sorry but are you under the impression that everything an author does is covered by copyright, that is to say there is nothing an author does that they will be unable to copyright?

So a business cannot use USDC on some cryptocurrency like Stellar today then? [1]

So the concerns of high transaction fees, unstable price fluctuations and slow transfers which are all the properties of using payments with Bitcoin are somehow not solved because of USDC and it being built on cryptocurrencies like Stellar?

are you sure?

Damn. Bother.
To the last question, just having people put in the work to present and understand a paper, or a theme around a set of papers, can make a huge difference for others to understand the ideas put forth. We've even had events where presenters demonstrated an implementation of the paper or called out interesting references or historical associations that may not have been apparent initially.
That's longer than average, especially for the Netherlands, but it's not unusual. Before COVID, thousands of primary school age children used to commute from Shenzhen to Hong Kong for school every day. That's at least 1.5hr one-way. I know middle school children who commute from New Jersey to New York City, also 1.5hr one-way.

Alarmism about blackouts is indeed bad. The grid planners have enough fossil fueled power plants on reserve (paid through subsidies), and the rising costs from such plans are indication that they are indeed planning ahead. Countries in the northern parts of EU have enough fossil fueled capacity to survive on 0% wind for long periods of time, even in winter, which is somewhat being demonstrated right now. When the wind is up and running again those plants will go back to operate on standby and getting paid to do so.

For now it just a money and political issue. Continuing to buy and expand the fossil fuel capacity is not very popular or cheap, and continuing paying for reserve energy through subsidies isn't very popular. The political goal in EU is to reduce those subsidies, through the numbers in the yearly report tend to show the opposite. When faced with the choice of following the political goal and blackouts, grid planners choose a stable grid.
Even better - https://tex.com.tw/products/shinobi?variant=16969883648090 - I've been using one of these since they came out and they're fantastic.

I used to have one of the old thinkpad external keyboards - http://www.notebookreview.com/notebookreview/lenovo-thinkpad... - and I used those until they broke and I couldn't find more.

I haven't used the unicomp ones, but I can wholeheartedly recommend the shinobi.
I'm not sure if you're reading the same Hacker News that I've been, but mine's mostly been about the confluence of surveillance capitalism, laissez-faire treatment of vulnerabilities in the tech stacks that power it (or even eg absentmindedly putting customer data into an unsecured S3 bucket), and the inability/unwillingness of governments or regulatory bodies to do anything about any of it. In light of these modern realities, I have difficulty believing in a positive final form of this technology. "Mobile pocket telephones" have evolved into "expensive powerful swiftly-obsolescent general-purpose computers mostly used for providing telemetry on the user to unaccountable corporations". Even if the HN crowd end up being able to opt out of the worst aspects of this, like one can with a modern smartphone via GrapheneOS or whatever, we still have to live alongside everyone else who can't.

I can think of lots of nefarious uses for this sort of thing, and I'm just some asshole who's read some science fiction. The real nefarious uses will be architected by people much smarter than me, whose moral difficulties will be dismissed by The Profit Motive, psychopathy, or both.
Denmark. China. Parts of Germany, parts of Finland. Probably lots more but those are the ones that I am somewhat familiar with.

As for the below the sea level bit: NL is probably one of the few countries that is actually prepared for this, the water management here is second to none. Besides that we also have cities above sea level.
Both the builtin lib, and the popular moment lib are missing separate date and time types, which leads to subtle errors. (ie when using their workaround of using datetime types for either). From the article, it appears Temporal has the same problem. There's nothing wrong with mutable types, which is common in JS discussions; the problem is when the API mutates in place where this isn't obvious.

I hand-wrote date and dt types with basic operations instead. Limited functionality, eg timezones, formatting etc, but behaves as you'd expect.

Another option might be to wrap Rust's Chrono lib in WASM, then call from JS; it's the best DT lib I've seen in any language.
I agree with everyone else that usually you won't want to install this on a system without a package manager.

However, I also hate it when I want to do something and everyone just tells me not to do it. So the general way to do it would be to get the source code and build it yourself. You will run into issues with versions of libraries being wrong, and this will be hard to fix. Here is a stack exchange story on the topic: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/472989/how-to-build...

If you try this, you will learn to appreciate package managers more.

Show HN: I created a free website that pairs Philips Hue lights with NBA games
I created a free website that pairs Philips Hue lights with NBA games

I just released a beta version of a site that allows you to connect your hue lights to live basketball games. Say the Miami Heat are playing the Los Angeles Lakers -- As the Heat start to take a big lead, the room will grow more and more red in real time.

I originally made this app just for myself so that I could ambiently follow along with basketball games in the background while my partner and I watch movies, but I started using it during games and it turned out to really enhance the experience of watching.

Looking for anyone to try it out and give me some feedback!

Note: This doesn't play nicely on mobile currently unless you tell your internet browser to allow pop-ups. The first time you use this site, you will be warned in a pop-up that there is an insecure connection and you will have to click through that message and accept before returning to the site. This is due to something on the Hue API side.

my approach was actually indirectly inspired by the process used to make mario64 – to start with the core interactions (in my case dragging and connecting cards) and make those feel good to use in isolation. Then building the rest of the app around that.

Like most of the other replies to this post I think you didn't read the question.

His interest isn't in having a place to write, his interest is in forcing people to read what he writes. Read this...

"... substack requires to already have a readership, same for a blog in my own domain ..."

That's not true from the viewpoint of "having a place to write".

If it were for personal growth, showing employers, etc. he could blog on his own domain. He wants Medium to find viewers for his posts but doesn't want to give up anything or make the viewers give up anything.

It’s my opinion that your wealth would not increase without taxes, because you’d have to explicitly pay for (and pay more for) a lot more things. Road use, security, medicine, bribes, food, etc.
The widow and child get a pension, just like all other widows of non-authors. Widows and children of other people don't get the right to receive wage from work perpetually so it's insane that we're supposed to pay wages to authors families for decades and decades.
We don't live far away from everything, we just have less actual benefit from public infrastructure because there are less of us using anything we build. And I mean anything, because there are ~1/35 as many of us using it.
That's probably because you don't have a "real" middle button and are trying to use the awkward to click scroll wheel instead.

If you want to go real old school and have a proper middle button, get an HP DY651A optical 3-button USB mouse (no scroll wheel).
> Talking about the energy grid of Sweden, how many know that the single biggest contributor to carbon emissions in south of Sweden is an oil power plant? A country full of hydro and still, that is what tops the charts each year.

It's an oil plant, of course it's going to be a big contributor if it's running.
Peaker plants are almost always fossil based, especially in regions that do not have hydro like the south of Sweden. Add to that the fact that the electricity demands outside of Sweden make the oil plant profitable from time to time. I think they run it more often ever since 2 of Ringhals reactors closed last year though, but even when they weren't closed I'd expect it to be the biggest contributor. Do you know if that was the case?
