Unfortunately the recyclability and the lack of toxicity are contradictory, they cannot be satisfied simultaneously for this kind of materials.

As long as the 2-dimensional polymeric sheets do not decompose, they will not be toxic, as they cannot enter a living cell (in the form of fine dust they could cause the same problems as any mineral dust, e.g. respiratory damage through purely mechanical action).

However if they do not decompose, they can be recycled only by burning.

If they can be decomposed into monomers by heat, light or chemicals, then the monomer can be recycled. However in that case some spontaneous decomposition will also occur in old objects made of the 2-dimensional polymer and the released monomer molecules would cause toxicity problems.

So only one of these 2 features must be chosen and optimized.

I agree with this. I agree with the author of the post that there is something wonderfully authentic about movies with PFX before the rise of CGI, but then again I am noticing a lot of CGI; most of my family can't stop gushing about how unbelievably real most modern movies look ~ they're not seeing the CGI.

They also love the Soap Opera Affect [1] of modern TVs, which I can't stand.

So while I agree with the post's author, I think my agreement is one of a matter of personal preference, not objective evaluation. Side note: As a nice "stay at home" hobby during the pandemic, I've gotten really into film photography; shooting it, developing it at home, learning as much as I can about the history and science of it ~ one consequence is that I view older movies shot on film in a completely different light now (no pun intended).

Politicization, yes; I've never heard of SLAs being tied to status pages. It is like pulling teeth to get most cloud providers to credit the account when they don't meet SLA, and one always has to ask for it; heaven forbid if credits were paid out automatically when service wasn't rendered.

Or you get weasel-worded out of it. I had a cloud provider deny a service credit; the SLA stated that the service was only out of SLA if it didn't return 2xx. Well, the API returned "2xx Accepted — your request is being processed", and you could use the API to query the job, and the job … never finished or made any progress at all. But the API returned 2xx the entire time, so that was "within SLA".
>Showing that it's as easy as `run_in_executor()` is nice, but not if it does the exact same thing as `run_in_executor()`.

That's fair and a good point! I suppose reading this, you have no evidence that anything but local_thread exists. I'll change that, somehow, to show that indeed there exist values other than local_thread, and that passing those will run things on remote hosts.

This article originally grew out of a tutorial on writing tests using this style, for which running over multiple hosts is not necessary and maybe undesirable... but that's not good for what the article is today.
you could also add some statistics of how many users there have been in the past hour. or how long people have been talking. (just add up all the talk time for the past hour)

I have felt since day 1 that "autopilot is better than the average driver!" is the most misleading fact/statistic in the industry.

The "average driver" involved in an accident includes drunk drivers, road ragers, habitual speeders, teenagers, people driving in bad conditions (rain, snow), people driving without sleep and several other risky groups that most people buying Teslas aren't part of. To be worth it, the car has to reduce my personal accident risk under the conditions I usually drive, otherwise I prefer to keep my own hands behind the wheel over handing over control to an algorithm.
Ouch. This is really painful to read. I don't really know how I'd handle a sustained campaign of cruelty hurled at me, and I don't want to find out. It sucks she doesn't have that option.

Good question! According to one study in LA, [1] men cause 60% of accidents. I do wonder, however, the extent to which this gap fades with age. Given that most Tesla owners are not super young, it might not make as much of a difference as the 60% number (assuming it is nationally representative) would indicate.

I also think it will be important for any future teenager of mine to learn to drive without the regenerative braking that Teslas default to. It’s a much better driving experience IMO, but I worry a new driver won’t learn the “oh no hit the brakes!” reflex if they rarely use the brake pedal. I’d probably force them to learn with the car set to “normal” ICE/idle—style for the first few months.
I recently watched Project X, a campy Matthew Broderick movie from 1987, and I was just blown away. It was so incredible to watch real Chimpanzees interacting with real human beings in real environments.

I had that illusive sense of wonder that CGI is always striving for and failing to reach. And, as a consequence the movie almost felt like it was from a future where CGI had finally achieved its goals...the only thing is it was a campy movie from 1987.

Don't mistake my comment as an endorsement for data collection.

It was about the practical effects that came about after the legislation was introduced. I hardly believe webmasters around the world coordinated a premeditated, mass conspiracy to annoy their visitors. I rather think the mess results from a misunderstanding on the part of businesses about what is actually required by the various legislation, complacence by the poor chap who's just trying to publish a site, and, yes, dark patterns on the part of platforms providing elements of the stack.

e.g. Those annoying banners aren't needed if you construct your site to not use cookies at all, until they're actually required for functions a user explicitly requests. Platforms have no business asking for my consent in the first place to cookies they know darn well do not serve any bonafide interest for the user.
> So at 43 when I am driving sober, I'm probably safer not using autopilot. When I was 19 probably safer to use autopilot.

That’s very dangerous thinking. Autopilot isn’t self driving and will actively try to kill you, from time to time, like all driver assist systems. 19 year old are much more likely to abuse autopilot and drive distracted/drunk. Only reason those systems aren’t crashing left and right is because drivers are paying attention.

It keeps changing since our imagination of what tasks requires intelligence are weak. We think that when a computer can do X it can also do Y. But then someone builds a computer that can do X but can't do Y, and we say "oh, so that doesn't require intelligence, let me know when it can do Z and we can talk again.". That doesn't mean that Z means the computer is intelligent, just that Z is a point where we can look at it and discuss again if we made any progress. What we really want is a computer that can do Y, but we make small mini tasks that are easier to test against.

The Turing test is a great example of this. Turing thought that a computer needs to be intelligent to solve this task. But it was solved by hard coding a lot of values and better understanding of human psychology and what kind of conversation would seem plausible when most things are hardcoded. That solution obviously isn't AI, I bet you don't think so either, but it still passed the Turing test.
Show HN: Sharing my simple Telegram gratitude bot
I built this bot two years ago while learning to code. It is very crude but does the job.

bot: https://t.me/gratitude_buddy_bot

github: https://github.com/ikraamg/gratitude-buddy-bot

After failing to get myself to do gratitude journaling through other means, I got the idea of a simple chatbot.
For me, the 'killer feature' that kept me using it was a daily reminder of a past entry that got me to smile on a pleasant memory.

I thought it might be helpful to more than my friends, family, and me. Feel free to use the same instance I use, or run it on your server.

I know this will not scale, so if many people find it useful, I will rewrite the bot in rails, add a web interface and migrate the data.

P.S. I had not dealt with databases at the time I built this, so please forgive the "DB" I used :)
Sorry, but this article is bad. What exactly are they comparing GNOME to? It sounds like they want GNOME to be like Windows, such that "lack of desktop icons" and "there are no minimize and maximize buttons" is an automatic con and not, say, a simple reality of how it works; it is a desktop environment that doesn't do desktop icons. Instead, your equivalent to the "desktop" is the dash, your files are in the Files app, the background is just what you see behind your windows, and there is a reason the window menu replaces "minimize" with "hide". It's fine if it doesn't work for you or you think it's the wrong direction, but if you're going to pretend computers are a solved problem and everything should be frozen in time or it's wrong (a "disaster", at that!), I am going to find it very difficult to care about your opinion.

> For instance, requiring a full browser engine (i.e. WebkitGTK) to use a desktop environment is anything but minimalist.

That right there is absurd. Name one complete desktop application platform from the last ten years that doesn't come with an equivalent to WebKitWebView. If GNOME isn't hosting this, somebody else has to. If what you really want is a way to organize all of your xterm windows, that's fine, go and do that, but don't tell people they're wrong for existing in this century.

> In many file managers F4 key launches the terminal, but not in Files

I know this will be very upsetting for people who use "many file managers" and switch between Linux desktop environments like they change clothes, but for the vast majority of users, that type of concern is completely irrelevant. For what it's worth, you can always right click on a blank space, or click the current folder in the breadcrumbs bar, and choose "Open in Terminal".

> Just to build WebkitGTK can take one hour and more than 16 GB of RAM, while Xfce on the same machine can be fully built in 5 minutes, requiring less than 500 MB of RAM.

One hour? That's luxury. Have you tried to build Chromium lately? And I'm sure XFCE can be built in five minutes if you just grab a prebuilt libgtk, but you should probably be asking, where did that library come from?

A straw man is a statement that is trivially disprovable. Just because you stood them up without knocking them down does not stop them from being straw men.

That money comes from premiums for Medicare and money saved from private "insurance". The correct comparison is not simply your current tax rate, but rather your tax rate plus the amount you're currently paying for "insurance".

Medicare is not some free thing for the elderly, but rather is paid into by monthly social security payments. Adjust the premium amount to remove any retirement subsidy, and allow non-retired people to buy into the existing system. This would add a well-established competitor to a market currently dominated by the health "insurance" cartel.

The "free" healthcare is Medicaid which is available to everyone, but only after they're rendered unemployable and bankrupted due to medical problems. Doesn't it make more sense to allow people to buy into a healthcare plan and keep working rather than making them stay destitute so they can quality for medical care?

I mean, it's a 6 min clip; and the red subaru definitely exists (they went on sale after production ended if I recall, a bit out of my price range:)... although why they took a canonical AWD rally car and made it RWD is beyond my understanding.

There are what - hundred or more individual shots linked in there? So we'd have to narrow on which one is CGI augmented and how much. But it's a lot more "Weighty" of a setup either way than most car chase scenes these days, and received praise at the time accordingly :). I just watched Red Notice last night, and beyond all the other horribleness, the car chase scenes had the classic shiny, unbelievable Star Trek Warp Space feel to them that's common in so many movies today - and with 5-6 times the budget of Baby Driver, it's not that it's a "cheap movie with cheap effects".

edit after a brief Google: Indeed Edgar Wright takes tremendous pride on the car stunts and practical effects in the movie:

> Is it really fair to your users to presume the are clueless?

The more charitable interpretation is that we should assume they're overloaded; they're using our application because they have to get something done, and they need to get it done as quickly and easily as possible so they can get on with their day. This doesn't always apply; if you're developing an application that will be the primary tool for some line of work, something that people will live in for hours every day, then it makes sense to give them the freedom to make it their own. But when developing something that will merely be part of someone's workflow, possibly imposed on them without their choice, then it makes sense to impose as little as possible on them.
Yep, you are correct. Each of those decisions was made over the protests of a vocal but relatively small group of users.

You can disagree with them as much as you like, but Firefox continues to support the ultimate in user control by releasing their product as open source. Roll your own build that doesn't require those features, sideload your add-ons, and/or fork the product.

As a user, the average Firefox user has far more control over the browser than Chrome, Edge, or Safari users do, and have the flexibility to use one of many Firefox forks that have the same beef as you.

The second was open source where a global community of developers came together to build on each other's work. The third revolution will be the use of AI in coding.

How about this rewrite: Some users love settings.

Yes, it's an exercise for the developer to know their audience and their affinity for settings.

As a user of software, I agree with the author: I am generally happier with software that is highly configurable to my preferences versus software that is rigid and limited to the tastes of the developer.

Of course, this is a continuum; I am not so obsessed with configurability that I build my own customized OS from source. But a healthy settings/options/preferences panel is a way to earn my interest as a user.
Caching Header Best Practices
A quick google search revealed FTP was supported until v90, so I'm curious as to what is that you are referring to when you say 'they took a hard wrong turn not later than 3.0 (yes, that long ago) and never recovered'.
Most people don't love fiddling with settings. People love when software does what they need, and some of them will be willing to fiddle with settings if they have to. Settings are a cost the user pays (just like data entry, loading times, hard drive space, loss of privacy, ads, or the monetary price of the software) in order to get the value. If good defaults mean most users don't have to muck with settings, great, your software is now more valuable. But the only thing worse than having to tweak a setting to get your functionality is not being able to get your functionality at all.
Without reference, it's hard to know exactly what you mean with large scale vs small scale, but I do know a person who has a pool of water high up on their property, which they let run to the bottom pool when they want cheap energy when prices are high and pump it up again when prices are cheap but they have no need for it currently. I'd say that's relatively small scale.
