You just mentioned a number of the double standards that exist netween the US and countries with immoral policies. There were uprisings in the ghettos. Granted, they didn't have enough time to form a democratically elected government. I am pointing out the irony of using anything similar as the Germans against a people who live in the most densely-populated, walled off land on earth...to say the least. Prolonging that with impunity and pride will certainly not make things better for anyone. You are casting aspersions against what I said, with no reason.
Not sure about mouse operation, but the touch typing is mentioned in two separate sections:

1. Yes, you have no vision of the keyboard, so learning to touch type is essential

2. Lying down position, right hand on laptop keyboard, left hand on external USB keyboard (two-handed touch typing).

I am worried about this somewhat. I know a few too many great engineers reluctant to work on defense work because they are concerned about what their friends will think. It's not particularly tasteful in progressive circles.
Apparently 'pinon' simply means "pine nut" in spanish. It makes sense as initially the plant was (mis)named pinus araucana.
I’ve definitely heard Araucaria araucana called “monkey puzzle” quite often in English, and many people in Australia mistakenly call the bunya pine (Araucaria bidwillii) “monkey puzzle” as well because they are closely related species and look fairly similar (I’m from Australia). There are several species of Araucaria in Australia though, so many people would also be aware of the Norfolk Island pine (Araucaria heterophylla) and probably the hoop pine (Araucaria cunninghamii). I think some people who are familiar with the different species would probably understand that if you said “Araucaria” you would be probably be referring to Araucaria araucana.
Actually there is a forest scene with sounds of fresh air. Now you can be more productive and more connected to nature at the same time.

This reminds me of a hardcore Scheme fan I once knew who was really mad about JavaScript so he would only ever call it ECMAScript.

remix talks about too much simplification. Too much simplification scares me.
Similar story here. I’ve always played, mostly online, before Black Friday (pretty sure I was a minor when it happened) but played all the offshore sites through college. Professional software career took off and bounced out, finally ~3y ago I decided to get back into it and I would only play challenging games (only thing challenging about a 1/3 or tourneys is the grind). So, started with 2/5, within a week was playing the 10/25, 25/50.

1. Emotional control and pushing through the variance are key, I would play all nighters and it was mostly a subtle rise up vs big pots (except the one that did me in)

2. You absolutely do read players, I didn’t need to be a pro to learn how to observe the degenerates. Even decent players signaled things here or there (obv not how they eat an oreo , but I had a knack for knowing when someone was off their style). And it’s not even close wit a normal group of friends.

3. the sharks and their meta game… I had run up to about 50K within 3 weeks from my starting 2-3K. Had the pipe dream. I thought I had a growing bond with the pros. When I say pros I’m not talking grinders, I’m talking consistent big winners. About a handful of them. None of them tv personalities. - There were few times we’d run into each other, but I picked off a few donk bets here or there. However their persistence is what did me in. Went the entire month observing their advanced play style, which the meta was harsh, there were few rivers that mattered more than pre flop and continuation/donk betting. This style of play was like nothing I was seeing on tv. But I was winning with them. The last time I played, about a month into my run, I was on a 12h 25/50 game winding down, turned 30k into 70k (had 20k sitting back) pulled QQ and went up against a pre-flop donker. I face a 3 bet and get that gut feeling but put on lower pair or AK. Flop rainbows, large betting action. Turn, junk, I face an insane Re raise after testing a raise of my own, I know it’s off but it’s either AA/KK or AK at this point. My guts off but I’m too far in to quit. On the river I’m defeated, check, face bet, ultimately end up throwing 50K into the pot, lose to aces.

I never had a gut feeling so intense though. Like I was screaming at myself to get out. But I was caught.

Such a draining hand I never went back. I don’t have the discipline to grind games, and the tech industry pays more.
Yea, the US arsenal downsized the weapons in keeping with the tonnage restrictions in the various arms reduction agreements. However, they compensated by increasing the accuracy of the weapons so that fewer bombs per target will be needed, increasing the hard kill power of the arsenal without violating the agreements.

This is important because "in theory" no one is allowed to explicitly target civilians, which don't require much accuracy, per the laws of war. Military targets are often in reinforced concrete or buried and so require a precise high pressure hit to crack. In practice, aiming points are chosen of military targets that are quite close to civilians.
An easy way to verify is to see what is being stolen or looted. It is almost never produce, bags of beans or rice. It is often luxury brands, alcohol, electronics and stuff like that.

I don’t think we need more mandatory sentences or stricter laws, but simply turning the other way and not punishing this kind of behavior is also going to backfire. There has to be a balance.

I suspect it’s all designed to artificially reduce the crime stats (“if we don’t process or book them no crime was committed”) while at the same time getting extra points for social justice. Two birds with one stone.
I remember seeing a video like that too, but I don't remember what it was or where I saw it. Doing a brief search didn't show up anything.

Ironically I could say the same about the JS ecosystem.
Greenfield coding projects are very rare, except in consultancy, but even there you'll have to maintain what you build. Refactoring however can be the same type of thing. IMO use this opportunity to write tests and learn to refactor. Most developer jobs will be exactly like this, learn to embrace the suck and find the joy in the refactoring. Eventually you'll get the skills to get a better job or start a consultancy. You might also prefer being a business systems analyst where you spec projects instead of build them. IME BSAs work on a lot of the stuff you mention you like and developers just slog through the coding parts.
Those fucking defense companies can start paying more and maybe I’ll consider building weapons to be sold to the Saudis.

So, back of the envelope, I'm no chemist, I haven't tried doing something like this on my own since high school, etc. But, if the reaction is something along the lines of

3CO2 + 4Ga => 3C + 2Ga2O3

and CO2 has a molecular weight of about 44, and Ga's is about 70, then I believe that would imply that eliminating 1 tonne of CO2 would require about 2 tonnes of gallium.

How much spare gallium is there in the world? Is it anywhere near enough to put a dent in the ~1,000 tonnes per second that humans are emitting?
The problem is who decides what is bad science. Who is doing the peer review?

Cultures evolve, and that includes their cuisines. In general, I think the only sensible approach is to track that - so if a given culture grows to recognize something as their signature dish, and so do their neighbors, then it is indeed theirs, regardless of its origin and history. Which means that frybread is, indeed, a Native American dish.

Yeah, I was about to say... as great as this seems like it may be, surely turning CO2 into coal isn't a net gain versus not burning the coal.

But there are plenty of point emitters of CO2, so if we imagine a grid that's actually renewable sure. Capture though? It could always be paired with another capture method to concentrate it first, it's usually cheap to concentrate things a little and expensive to concentrate them a lot.
A more concentrated version of the distillation the internet enabled: idea-driven anxieties rather than physical ones.

Which, pre-Internet, ideas versus physicalities could sound somewhat utopian, except we now know that crazy and outrage-inducing ideas dominate the discourse, and the metaverse does not and cannot offer anything to stem that tide and is likely to 'deepen the rut'.
Yes. There was an uprising in the Warsaw Ghetto. You know what happened? The Germans leveled the ghetto and killed everyone. Because they wanted them dead. There was an uprising in Xinjiang. Know what happened? China put millions of people into forced labor camps. Because they want them dead.

There was an uprising in Gaza. Guess what happened. Israel withdrew its own settlers unilaterally at gunpoint and handed over the territory, leaving greenhouses which were then leveled by Hamas.

Israel is also an extremely small, densely populated place surrounded by people who want to kill it.
An example? I don’t believe you.

Yeah, this doesn't make sense to me. If you're trying to go for good scientific writing, you want to use detail where it's important. A ratio is great if you're describing the compression. If you're simply saying it doesn't fit raw, noting which number is bigger is effective and simple.

well actually MS knows how to create a walled garden, but just enterprise gardens. They fail at consumer gardens because the leadership doesn’t see money there and are quite shortsighted at seeing it too. Eg see how they lost ads, search, browser, mobile. They’re in games because of Windows and later Azure, so, again they look at it through enterprise glasses.

In my experience, companies are deathly afraid of doing something even perceived as different when it comes to software. And my experience has been at places developing advanced novel hardware, so I would always try to point out the discrepancy. Why are people willing to try new things and train on advanced hardware projects but software gets relegated to the least common denominator? If it's not Python, C, or C++, it's a hard sell to try anything else, no matter the many multipliers that could come from switching.
It seems complicated and pointless to keep an acceptable ads list, if I'm going to block some, why not block them all? While I only really care about blocking badly behaved ads, the easiest way to do so is to block all of them.

Also, the fact that they are taking money to get on the 'acceptable ads' list looks a little shady. It could be (let's be generous) misinterpreted as a third party just elbowing in to get a cut of the transaction, like some kind of protection racket. I'd worry this sort of thing might draw unwanted attention in some jurisdictions, even if it really isn't warranted.

Why bother going with the solution that is both technically and ethically more complicated? Just do the dumb thing and block everything.

While I agree with you, upon quick search it seems Ga2O3 is an intermediate in the purification of gallium[0]

So, process can be created wherein

3CO2 + 4Ga => 3C + 2Ga2O3 => 4Ga + ... => 3CO2 + 4Ga ....

basically, the Gallium oxide is reconverted to Gallium to be used in CO2 capture.

> In the theory under which “race” is meaningful, it is biological and distinct from (and orthogonal to) social “ethnic” categories, so claiming race on that basis is exactly as valid as the idea of race itself.

I’d like to love man pages but

- I feel that they are linux only. On my MacOS system I can’t rely on man x being the man page for the right version of x. I know that in principle there are environment variables that make sure i’m getting the gnu core utils version or the base homebrew version rather than the system BSD version, but it’s too many moving parts. Furthermore even if I get it right, I can’t expect people I’m working with or mentoring to get it right, hence I can’t recommend man to them for documentation. God knows about man pages on Windows.

- I feel that a small amount of plain text documentation should be stored in the executable, not separately. Isn’t it a holdover from the vastly more constrained computing environments of the 70s and 80s that we’re keeping man pages separate from the executable? Its just asking to get out of sync / incorrectly paired up.
Well...when you put it like that...

> Gallium is cheap (~$300/kg)

Please correct me if I get the numbers wrong but if that is the price, that means the price of 1 ton Gallium is $300,000 per ton

From [another comment](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29990056) I got that the ratio of CO2 to Ga would be 1 to 2. So in order to reduce 1 ton of CO2 you'll need to spend $600,000. That seems insane. Especially when the damage done per ton of CO2 is usually valued at ~$200.

>While the scientists found significantly more trial participants who received the vaccine reported adverse events, nearly a third of participants who received the placebo also reported at least one adverse event

ignoring the vaccine group with actual negative adverse effects to simply attack vaccine hesitancy

>adverse events among the placebo group dipped to 32 percent reporting any systemic events and 12 percent reporting any local effects.

>In contrast, participants who received the vaccine reported more side effects, with 61 percent reporting systemic adverse events and 73 percent reporting local adverse events

>>The researchers calculated that nocebo accounted for nearly 52 percent of the side effects reported after the second dose.

researchers are simply downplaying those that were impacted with adverse effects as "nocebo" because they know it's the only way their meta-analysis will get any coverage
I’m a big fan of H2O.

The reason I’m posting that here is because for many years I don’t drink it. I was so used to hydrating from soda and other beverages advertised on TV I completely lost touch with plain old H2O.

Then one day I rediscovered its pure refreshing goodness. What a surprise! I savoured it and marvelled at the pureness of the way it quenched my thirst.

Water! Quenching thirst since before the dinosaurs.

Is it necessary for all Atheists to have faith in science? Science is a process to figure out the universe, not a thing/person/god. It's not the only way to know stuff, its just a good way. If the argument is that some people say Science as if it was some god, well, not much I can argue against there. Certainly not all atheists though. Otherwise, I agree that modern people took some of the good stuff old religions. It's so hard to know the truth, even about ourselves.
