They will do as we did 40 years ago, buy books and software.
Nuclear fusion is meant to solve our energy problems, not to make them as bad as possible.
What about potential (carbon) import taxes? If you reuse the frame and other parts in the car it saves you quite some money, plus there might be recycling subsidies. Also a battery only lasts 8 years while other parts of the car could easily last 30 years.
It's cute that you call your own response "factual"

"Any decade now we will have PoS"
Almost every blockchain already is. Ether will move to PoS within the coming 2 years. They must, as competition is fierce and may become irrelevant if they don't. Bitcoin will never move to PoS. So, "any decade"...what does it factually refer to?

Your remark on use cases is equally primitive. There's a few hundred million people using crypto. You can say that the existing use cases aren't for you, but that's not factual. Facts are that user growth is exponential.

Singling out ransomware is equally lazy. A recent study showed that the portion of criminal activity in the crypto space is lower compared to cash. Yet you'd never comment on cash being a criminal invention, would you? Yet you're the "intellectually honest" one.
I think the notation that impresses me the most is not actually a notation at all, it's a UI and workflow.

FreeCAD manages to take a very difficult thing, working in 3D space, and move most of the work onto the CPU rather than you.

Through constraints they eliminate the need for precision aligning stuff with the mouse, but more than that, it's essentially working with a compressed set of properties rather than the 3D objects themselves.

It changes everything. It's true computer aided design, not just computer aided recording of a design already in your head.

With OpenSCAD or direct modeling, there's a lot more need to know what you're doing before you start.

The downside is that it does sort of limit your thinking to the shapes that aren't too hard to make. But in return it makes 3D space accessible to the amateur, not just those with hundreds of hours to try to learn to draw, or the talent to mentally visualize parts with the kind of accuracy needed for mechanical design.
Wouldn’t a templated interpreter be perhaps faster (eg. what is used by the JVM)?
It is one thing to believe that, it is another thing to say that.
Learn the politics of the organizations you work for. Learn how to gain visibility for your work. This is primarily how to communicate its impact to stakeholders of all kinds, not just tech people. Learn it's hard to hire engineers, and if your manager isn't helping you with the above, it's time to quit or tell someone above them.

Truly I've never had trouble getting recognition for extraordinary work, and I've worked at a lot of questionable organizations.
I have found it very useful to frame things in terms of my future self. This works for both things I want to do, and things I want to stop doing.

For example — get home from work, tired, don’t want to go row. Instead of saying to myself “You really should go row, you said you wanted to do it 4 times a week.” I say “1 hour from now do I want to be a person who has sat on the couch for an hour or do I want to be the person who has worked out, taken a shower, and feels good”. Same thing for stopping mindless doom scrolling or making dinner vs ordering deliver or whatever.

I know it’s just a mental trick — but reframing things in terms of my future self has been incredibly powerful for me.
With Apple you have since many years now (10 years or so?) been able to download an unencrypted DRM-free copy of every audio track you ever bought in the iTunes Store. It's clearly to no consolation for OP, but it's worth pointing this fact out nevertheless.
In which country? I also don't know a single person using iMessage, and the last non-auth SMS I received was years and years ago. It's as good as dead basically.

My best guess is I played it so much that I don't get any satisfaction from a match ending, regardless of outcome, which turns into disappointment considering it's a PvP game where you're supposed to get satisfaction from winning. That would lead me into immediately queueing again, looking for the next rush, and next thing I notice it's 8 hours later and I feel like I wasted an entire day.

I still play video games of course, but nowadays I'm more conscious of what each of them bring to my life, and avoid the ones that don't leave me feeling good after a long session.
A killer feature would be confluence import.

How do the permissions work ? Same way as confluence (inherited) ?
That's interesting info.

There's a view that I lightly hold, and I'd welcome to hear others' perspectives on it:

I find myself a bit salty regarding social norms regarding honorifics. Maybe because my first instinct is that it caters to pretensions and is anti-egalitarian (in a certain sense).

To me it feels similar to when people insist on using special, quirky names for various groups of animals, e.g. a "murder" of crows. Some see it as fun, but to me that fun is tainted by some persons being snobbish. I.e., they prefer a version of English whose complexity allows them to be condescending regarding it's "proper" diction.

Any reasons I should feel otherwise?

(This is an earnest question. I'm sure my view needs more balance.)
> blockchain data providers obviously need to provide the exact same data

That's not obvious to me. I'd expect that companies could be asked to censor certain parts of the blockchain, and would then hide those parts in their API. I would also expect that transacting with certain addresses could be blocked, and companies could enforce that in their APIs.
Seriously. I hope one good thing that will come of this is an end to putting chips in things that don't need chips.
I am familiar with that, but given its environmental damage it seems quite likely that in the future this energy source will be somewhat reduced. Especially as renewable energy gains greater penetration in the UK.
I dont. I specifically mentioned the mechanism that state secrets should be generated by: by the government proactively making something secret.

Otherwise everything is automatically an openly available record.
You just gave me an ideea, while awk has it's advantages like being very easy to learn, if you are gonna invest in learning a new language probably python would be a better choice
There are plenty of recent TV programmes that show turning classic ICE cars into a BEV, typical range seems to be about 150 miles which would be fine for a lot of people. I'm just thinking that this could be done in a more systematic way instead of custom builds.

The alternative is to completely replace every current car with a new BEV, I don't think this can be done quickly enough or at low enough cost for most people.
Yeah, non-technical folk were one of my key audiences for BookStack which most other popular open-source offerings, at the time, seemed to lack focus for. People do love their markdown input though.

I'm currently rebuilding the editor; My goal is it have an easy WYSIWYG editor that allows instance back-and-forth switching to Markdown. One of the tricker parts is avoiding obscure/custom markdown syntax for non-common/custom content blocks, as one of my main principals is to ensure user content is portable/non-proprietary.
I started my career at GS in SLC about six years ago. I remember when the entire technology division ditched the dress-up rules. It felt like a monumental change.

I have to wonder if I worked with some of the managers you interviewed with--that sounds like a familiar phenomenon. A few relaxed people, but lots of folks who brought a NYC investment banking attitude with them to SLC.
And yet, GIMP could have an interface much more like Photoshop. There are commercial Photoshop clones on the market (Paint Shop Pro). Why do open-source devs always have to make something out in left field?
> There really isn't anything else out there

I've seen about a dozen apps that do just this. Here's one I used to use, called Kites: (https://www.krishan711.com/).

It was a very nice app, but the network effect was missing, and eventually the novelty wore off. Which presumably is also why its creator pulled it from the appstore.

I wish you luck, I still think it's a good idea. But beware that there may be a good reason why you can't find "anything else like it out there" at the moment...

Ask HN: What aren the most useful Mac apps on the App Store?

Are there any hidden gems that a newbie might not know about?

For example, it took me half a year of MacOS usage before I discovered rectangle.app [1] which allowed you to position screens by pressing a key combination.

It took me 9 months before I happen to run into Stats.app [2] which gives you the option to put certain stats (like GPU temperature, CPU load, or RAM load) into the top bar on MacOS.

What else am I missing? What brilliant app is waiting out there for me to find her?

Really the baseload myth needs to go, it's been debunked many times.

In electricity demand is intermittent, therefore you need to have your supply to be able to follow those demand fluctuations, in other words you need a quickly adjustable supply. Traditionally electricity grids used gas turbines to give this quickly adjustable supply. However, generally power from gas turbines is relatively expensive, so what many grids did is use coal or nuclear (which was cheaper, but could also not be adjusted) to supply a fraction of supply and only use gas to even out the demand fluctuations.

Renewables are now significantly cheaper than both coal and nuclear, however as you correctly point out they are intermittent, so you can't combine them with "base load" because you still need quick adjustable supply. Renewables therefore mainly replace the slow "baseload" plants. Moreover the economics are such that it makes it much cheaper to just overprovision with renewables (to essentially make it easier to even out fluctuations) instead of using some plants which have to run at a 100% full time to be economical (like nuclear).

TLDR "baseload" only makes sense if the way of producing it is cheaper than all other methods. That is not the case with nuclear by a significant margin.
I first came across him in the "four horsemen" days of around 2008, when I was at the peak of my Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins stage.

Since then he seems to have built and sustained a career saying the same kinds of things as he was saying back then, focusing on anti-religion, reductionist materialism and genetic determinism. And yes he also espouses the benefits of meditation and psychedelics, and makes a solid income selling his meditation app, but he still dismisses the experiences and benefits of these practices as ultimately materialist phenomena.

I understand this worldview very well and have spent much of my life embracing it.

But whereas Harris has found the answers provided by this worldview to be satisfactory in answering his own questions (and sustaining his career), I've had cause to explore much further, and have found many other fascinating ideas and practices, many of which are more interesting and explanatory to me these days.

My suggestion is that if you're interested in Sam Harris's ideas but are also interested to explore other ideas around the similar topics, look up such people as Iain McGilchrist, Bernardo Kastrup, Rupert Sheldrake, John Vervaeke, Terrence McKenna and others linked to them.
No, how would it? They just sell the same car that's been refurbished - it's a second hand car, not a new one. The ban is on new vehicles only.
Yes, but that's the point. For instance here in Canada we have Interac eTransfer which is supported by every bank. You go on your bank's app or website and you enter the email of the person you want to send money to and how much and a little password type thing and that's it. I don't need to know my friends bank info just their email. On the receiver side you just get an email and then you can pick what bank you want to deposit it in and log in as normal. And every bank has it for free these days (some used to have a $1 fee).
Google docs is useable if what one expects from a word processor is being a digital typewriter with Write like features.
I came across your software a few weeks ago when I was looking for some kind of locally hosted collaborative documentation suite for internal use, basically, a wiki that can be used by people who aren’t programmers. I was a bit incredulous when I found that it is basically expected to use markdown if you want to have a wiki. This really raises the barrier to entry and restricts users to ones that are technically proficient and have the time to learn and deal with markdown. Wysiwyg is a necessity.

Easy content insertion is also necessary. We haven’t yet integrated bookstack, but I don’t see any alternatives (sticking with the locally hosted requirement)
SyncThing is close to perfect. Not many open source projects from smaller developers reach that level, but it's amazing when they do.
You can download a DRM-free copy of any audio track you bought in the iTunes Store. It's been like that for around 10 years.
Sorry this is nothing like Confluence. On Bookstack you click a link and get a new page instantly. This is nothing like Confluence where you need to wait 5-8 seconds for each page.

And no, I will never not shit in Atlassian products until they fix performance. Trello is the standout. Thanks for not trashing it.
While not strictly zero-sum, my understanding is that in order to have upward mobility, you must also have some downward mobility.

I've been using this to sync to a local dovecot installation. It's the best solution I could find that would allow me to have a local backup in a standard format (ie. I can see the individual email messages in a Maildir) and also be able to browse/search the backup using a mail client.

It's not that clear from the website but you should find imapsync in your distribution's package repo if you want to try it before supporting the author. I don't doubt the "no questions asked" refund policy, but I'm done fighting for my money back after bad experiences in the app stores.
For what it’s worth, I like Obsidian at the moment. I try not to think about it being Electron! It doesn’t feel slow or bloated.

I’ve also been using Drafts quite a lot for more temporary notes - an excellent Mac/iOS (native) app.

But most recently I’ve been trying paper notes again. I’ve been trying dated journal entries where I’m kind of documenting my state of mind, thought processes, and todos all in one place. Not too far off the concept of interstitial journaling, just missing the timestamps! So I’m going to adapt my paper journaling to incorporate this more granular time stamped approach and see how it goes.

No doubt I’ll shortly be back to doing this electronically… I rarely seem to stick with one way of doing things for too long.

I've wished for years that mobas and other competitive-ranked games simply let you completely hide your rank from yourself. I'm sure the psychological addiction aspect has something to do with why this is never an option, but playing unranked games isn't really a replacement because those players have a different mindset. Just let me play competitive modes and be blind to my ranking :(

It is strictly zero-sum the way mobility is normally defined.

It's actually a misnomer, "upward mobility" -- it's all "mobility".

Yep, my experience was the exact same. I still play video games however, but as I said in another comment, I'm more conscious of what the game I'm currently playing does to my body and mental health. This mostly translates into a healthy obsession with Final Fantasy XIV, a game I get to share with people as it's online, but not in a competitive environment meaning I get to enjoy it at my own pace.
> You're asking for impossible data

If something is difficult for you to justify, does that mean you shouldn't have to justify it?

Anwyay, we knew that reinfections were rare up through delta (even the CDC acknowledges this on their website, and there are plenty of studies to back this up). Given that, it should be safe to assume that ICU visits as a result of a rare reinfection are even rarer.

> And what do you think we do to distinguish between the supposedly two distinct groups of antivaxxers?

For data collection? We shouldn't need to because of the logic above. But if you wanted to confirm, it should be possible to study this by following up on ICU patients using all the various test result databases and following up with the ones who survive.

As for passports and really all of this covid fallout, my overly optimistic hope is that natural immunity will continue to hold, everyone will have had it after omicron finishes, and everyone will be able to empathize with each other when there isn't as much fear and division between the "clean vaccine takers" and the unclean infected (plague rats, covidiots, antivaxxers, Herman Cain awards, whatever other handy slurs people have come up with).

Of course, realistically, this shit (our behaviors) will all be with us for decades to come. Once you spend enough resources on getting people to think and feel a certain way, good luck reversing it.

I think you (and everyone else) should throw away the term antivaxxer, and say specifically what you mean.

I think seronaive is a reasonable term for the unvaccinated and never infected. Recovered is good for those with a prior infection, if you actially need to distinguish based on their vaccine status, then do that: say recovered with or without x number of shots. Anti mandate, anti mask, anti lockdown, these are all things that can exist on their own that everyone lumps into "antivax". We should just say what we mean if we actually want to communicate with each other rather than play tribal politics. How hard is it to use a few extra words?
I used the example of property tax to challenge the idea that I had (and assume a lot of people have) of "ownership".

With blockchains, you own an NFT. Period.

With literally every other form of ownership in this world: You own things subject to your adherence to laws and rules, and your trust in the person or entity at the other end of your transactions, and various other people/entities involved in the transaction.

The difference is actually quite subtle, but still important.

I feel your last statement is imprecise and overly optimistic. It seems unusually difficult to find proper calculations about what a fully implemented low emissions strategy would look like for a particular country. The only example I have found is this report for the UK [1]. This report makes a number of key points:

1. The UK has to bring in solar power from other countries to meet emissions targets or have more Nuclear capacity.
2. Reduction in energy consumption is just as important as energy sources. This involves use of more efficient technologies, primarly through electrification.

These factors highlight that abundant renewable energy is actually not abundant enough in reality and is unlikely to be for a country like the UK, even with efficiency gains from massive electrification. Without nuclear investment, renewable energy needs to be imported which has infrastructure and geoplitical considerations, as well as being a single point of failure.

I'm not sure how Confluence permissions work. Within BookStack pages (Main content) is generally within a hierarchy of Shelves > Books > Chapters > Pages. Both shelves and chapters are optional parts of the hierarchy,and Books can be members of multiple shelves.

General permissions (Edit/Create/Delete) can be controlled per-role, and multiple roles can be assigned to a user. Permissions can then be overridden per hierarchy item. Permissions for Books and Chapters will cascade to child items unless they're overridden.

It's mostly the Republicans unwilling to accept reality. Democracy is working.

>ROSE: Yeah, another startling number is that 6 in 10 Americans believe that U.S. democracy is in crisis and at risk of failing. And we found a majority of Americans agree with that across the board, regardless of partisanship. But the sentiment is really strongest among Republicans. A big percentage of Republicans agree with the false claim that there was significant fraud in the 2020 election that affected the outcome. And about half of Republicans say they're not willing to accept the results of the 2020 election. That is virtually unchanged from last January in our polling.
