>The problem (at least to me) is not that Naomi is wearing skimpy clothes. The problem is her channel has nothing to do with fashion (or women empowerment etc).

So? Why should people be compartmentalized, and not be allowed to feel and look sexy whne doing tech stuff?

That's the puritan dichotomy, where the body/sexual is bad, and should be kept inside marriage and procreation, or -as adjusted in more permitting puritans- to specially allocated sexy-time.

And, that said, the premise that her channel has nothing to do this is wrong.

Her intention is not to show how some technical stuff. It also isn't to show that women in general can too do some technical stuff.

It's to show how a sexy, sensual woman, a category often dismissed as bimbos, can also do technical stuff. And that technical stuff can be part of a fun and sexy thing, not just something that's relegated to bookish somber asexuality.

I mean, it's even in the channel's name...

>All the while claiming she is not trying to be sexualized.

She's not "trying", that's who she is.

Communist China and the Soviets would like to disagree.
I agree in principle but I think you are missing the controversy that’s going on. These topics are being taught irresponsibly with no regard to the neutrality, openness or critical thinking that you seem to be implying. They are being used to indoctrinate. In some parts of the United States, for some topics, schools have stopped being institutions that students can discuss these topics outside of very narrow and one sided perspective. I’m not exaggerating, students get bad marks or aren’t even allowed to challenge ideas.

So, if these schools are unable to teach these materials appropriately, maybe it should be left to other institutions that can. There is real corruption going on and parents are angry about what their kids are being taught. Some schools need to reform how they teach these topics and they are completely unwilling to do so without political pressure.
That’s just adding another layer of abstraction over exactly what the Mac case does. I prefer code that is so simple it doesn’t need to be abstract, as every abstraction layer is a potential bug layer.

This is the problem algae farms all run headlong into: sunlight density. The energy output you get from doing anything with the biomass can't exceed the received sunlight energy times the photosynthetic efficiency of your microorganisms. And that efficiency might not be as good as solar cells.

Using foodstock, or land that even competes with foodstock, or land that is important for sensitive ecosystems or CO2 balance is obviously all out of the question if this technology is to be viable.

It's possible to make sustainable jet fuel using trees from forests that aren't competing with food supply. Without that, yes, it's a bad idea. Anything involving soy or palm is usually also a bad sign. But in principle, nothing says you can't use "good" raw materials to produce fuel.

I don't think so, since computing a (double) SHA256 hash is vastly cheaper to compute than multiplying an elliptic curve point with a scalar. So much so, that by default (assumevalid=1), Bitcoin skips verifying signatures up to some recent date in its initial sync.
I’m not sure I agree with the premise of old people who don’t know text. This certainly happens to some but doesn’t have to. Technology and development is constantly evolving. Any good technologist who wants continued growth and success will invest in staying current and learning new skills and concepts. Sites like HN are great, there’s fantastic books, great blogs, and videos. Investing a few hours each week is how you prevent getting in a situation like this.

From the article:

1. Other mobile browsers update independently from the OS, whereas Safari is only updated when there is an update to iOS. iOS devices that are no longer supported with newer versions of iOS cannot update to the latest version of Safari.

2. All browsers in iOS are based on Webkit: There are Chrome and Firefox versions for iOS but those use the same engine as Safari in iOS. This is because of an Apple guideline which mentions that all iOS browsers must use Webkit.

These users can't fix this problem without getting a new device.
> This is the cheaper/easier option, and several schools have already opted to do so.

Do you have a source reporting that schools are actually removing books in response to this particular inquiry? It seems that they shouldn't be. (I am aware of other instances of books being explicitly removed from school libraries or curricula by the school boards.)

What makes me skeptical is that I'm not sure in what situation physically removing a bunch of books from the shelves would be cheaper/easier than retrieving records about them.
> "Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community." It's reliably a marker of bad comments and worse threads.

It might be worth pointing out that you are dismissing a comment discussing a page that is (likely) making a criticism of the HN rules by implying - without good reason - that it is instead a criticism of the community, and not a critique of the site rules and the kinds of content it promotes.

Unless you're only meaning the "don't sneer" part - which is difficult to police among intellectuals, and if it's only policed at HN-directed criticism, is probably bad form.

In short: "Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something."

This is true for early high-level decisions. For every-day coding of smallish components in a large project, it matters much less.

There's a pretty big distinction between FAANG employees contributing on their own time to things tangentially related too their job, and FAANG employees contributing on behalf of the company (i.e. being paid to do so as an official part of their day job).

Judging by the Engineering account being used to submit this patch, this is likely to be an example of the latter.
Just eyeballing that, it's 2 grams of hydrogen per 30 grams of carbohydrate. So, about 1 tonne/acre/year, or maybe half a kilogram per gallon. The hydrogen right now almost certainly is tapped off existing industrial supply, which comes from natural gas, but there's no reason one couldn't use "green hydrogen" from renewable-powered electrolysis instead. PV produces much more energy/acre than biomass does (and can produce it even outside the growing season), so this wouldn't increase land use very much.

I did LASIK surgery when I was in my 20's. After almost a decade, my vision is pretty much perfect. Recently, Ive been prescribed with glasses only for when I work with computers because Im getting visually tired quicker.

> There should be no such thing as books that are not allowed to be read.

While Texas State Representative Matt Krause's attempt to limit exposure these books is politically misguided and dangerous, we're not talking about books not being allowed to be read. We're talking about schools not being allowed to have the books in their libraries.

> But even then; I can download the PDF on the net without issues. And I can read it. I can even sell an old copy of the book (if I had one) without repercussions.

Students in Texas could also do all of these things, even if these books were banned from school libraries. If this nonsense goes through, the best way to address it in the short term would be to increase kid's exposure to the list and suggest it as a reading list. Kids are naturally curious about 'banned' things.
All they really even need to do is read the titles of the books in the list and they'll get a good idea of what makes conservatives in TX scared.
The worst part of these accusations is that your reputation is tarnished whether you are guilty or not.

This instilled a sense of fear in every person even if they are innocent because you can still be targeted and your career ruined.

If this scientist was just stating out, rather than already established, he would likely have had to quit science.

There should be some penalty for false accusations that can compensate for these people.
That's interesting. Where I work we've got an in-house deployment of a CF fork (public, not ours) which... yeah, nobody likes, and AWS and GCP are getting more of our money every year as we shift stuff off.

Just the autoscaling wouldn't be enough to keep us on it, but running it on someone-else's-infrastructure with a proper support model might.
I would argue if “high level design decisions” are getting in the way of coding, this is a sign of over-design or premature abstraction. If you write sufficiently loosely-coupled code, it’s not hard to re-organize later.
Try living with a traditionally feminine woman.

I don't particularly like shopping. I go in, I look for something I want, I see something I like, I buy it, I leave. The satisfaction of having the thing(s) that I want trumps all other concerns, so I optimize a path to there from where I am which means spending as little time in-store. Sometimes I browse, just to see what is available, but not too much.

My girlfriend is... way different. She can spend hours, browsing around, examining the merchandise, evaluating the color or style or fabric or thread count for linens, looking for things to "call out" to her (the joke goes that you go to Target and Target tells you what to buy), chatting with sales staff, and of course ensuring that as many things we need, might need, or want are bought in that one go as possible. The shopping experience is just as important as obtaining the things. Plus, during the pandemic, retail locations were her primary spot for "people bathing" (akin to Japanese "forest bathing"), fulfilling a need she has for contact with random other folks.

This is anecdata, but I'd say yes, there are types who love and need to shop, and I'd be willing to guess that there's a bimodal distribution with strong gender correlation.

Even accepting it as a dynamic language that is predominantly imperative, it still has many surprising characteristics. The scoping, binding/assignment are conflated, no built-in records, limited lambdas, pervasive mutability and null/None, etc.

I accept that it's a huge improvement over many mainstream languages (certainly bash!), but I find e.g. OCaml/F#/ML code far easier to reason about. These languages are also hybrid imperative and so there is no need to use monads, they can be used just like Python.
I thought the best practice for "keeping stuff around just in case" was an attic/ directory in the source repo. That way you're still benefiting from version control, but it's also clear that the code is totally untested and might bitrot at any time.

Imagine you were selling chef's knives.

Obviously, your salespeople should be good at handling your knives.

But a knife salesman will never be as good as a chef, because chefs have hours a day, every day working with the tools of their trade.

And if you're at a trade show selling chef's knives, and there are no chefs in attendance, you're probably at the wrong trade show.

I would say it's entirely normal for a certain fraction of trade show attendees to know the products on display better than the salespeople demonstrating them.
