Where are you getting the idea that personal footprints have to be reduced to zero or less? That assumption only holds if there are no carbon sinks.

What you're really saying is you can't reduce your footprint and keep the same quality of life. The problem is, in part, when we define the quality of life by the amount of shit we consume. Some consumption is necessary or great, but probably not the amount seen in many industrialized nations.
systemd developers generally prefer having a privileged daemon, and an unprivileged program doing RPC with the other. See for example systemd/systemctl, timesyncd/timesyncctl, etc.

People were upset about that?

A traditional "Half-Life 3" was never going to live up to the hype, the only hope for the series was something offering new experiences - and a game becoming the poster child for VR gaming seems pretty successful.

People don't want "Half-Life 3". They want "Game-that-makes-me-feel-like-half-life-did". A standard M+Kb FPS isn't gonna do that anymore, they're well, standard.
California doesn't completely prevent companies from limiting side businesses, they might be able to claim your work depending on your employer agreement and how similar it is to what your company does. But they can't keep you from working in the same field if you quit.
yah, that's what i did when i first got into rails (~3.0/3.1): read 5-10 of the guides while working through michael hartl's tutorial and reading/watching a number of railscasts (which are dated now, but still have good basic info).

i'm working (slowly) on a personal project in rails 7 using all the hotwire with importmaps newness, and so far, it's been so much better than recent rails' diversion into all that node/yarn/webpacker mess.
Don't think there is any way of getting the stats on where people live automatically. At most they would probably be able to get most commonly used locations, as a IP belongs to a location, but that doesn't mean that the user lives there (or even that the user is physically around there [VPNs], but probably usually right).
Here's why from later down:
“Light-pollution activists and governments have been very focused on street lighting, and that makes sense because it’s probably the biggest single source and the government has direct control over it,” Kyba said. “But my worry is that most of the growth in light is coming from other applications. If we want to reduce the environmental impact of outdoor lighting, it’s not good enough to change to LED streetlights and then stop. We need to think critically about all the different types of light sources there are.”

And they will, that’s the point. Doesn’t shift an ounce of blame off of corporations to customers - they will proceed to destroy the environment because short term profits are more important than long term survival.
Hard disagree. After years of random recruitment messages from him, he once sent me a series of obviously-templated robo-emails. In his database of NYC engineers, in the field that normally tracks your employer, he had me listed as "ex-[company]" -- with the name of a company I previously worked for and was no longer particularly fond of. Seems he robo-emailed using this data directly, so his templated emails (3 in a row within one month!) contained lots of cringey "How are things going at ex-[company]?"

After the 3rd email, I informed him I was taking a sabbatical from the industry (as mentioned at the top of my LinkedIn profile at the time) and asked him to remove me from his list permanently. Instead of admitting to the obvious mistake and apologizing, he doubled down with a reply that I found pretty obnoxious.

There were some other red flags years before that, so I blocked him, one of the only times a recruiter has ever led me to do so.
That's why I wrote He-2 is unstable, yes.

JS modifying favicon would be a bug.

AFAIU Faviocon was meant to differentiate browser bookmarks and tabs to make it easier to tell which is what.

In March 1999, Microsoft released Internet Explorer 5, which supported favicons for the first time.[4] Originally, the favicon was a file called favicon.ico placed in the root directory of a website. It was used in Internet Explorer's favorites (bookmarks) and next to the URL in the address bar if the page was bookmarked.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon#History

The fundamental problem is that tabs are already a misfeature of sorts.

Although a better metric might be to look at the thrust to motor power and get an idea of its efficiency relative to traditional rotors. I can put larger blades on the motor and will get more thrust at the same RPM but the motors will have to work harder to push those blades.
At the high level that this is presenting, there really hasn't been any progress in computer architecture. That's not to say that there hasn't been any improvements going on, but the improvements are more like "branch prediction is X% better" [1] or "we can issue an additional instruction per cycle", which don't have a major impact on the overall story presented here.

Nor have any alternative architectures really demonstrated themselves to be competitive. GPGPU programming has become a lot more salient, but GPGPU itself is largely the standard CPU programming model with speculative execution logic tuned way down and SMT and SIMD tuned way up (both of which would have been facets of modern hardware even at the time of this presentation). FPGAs have been "the next big thing" for, gosh, 30 years now, but they've remained relegated to niche roles.

[1] Indirect branch prediction in particular has progressed a lot even in the past decade.

It's very easy to use argc/argv securely as they currently are. POSIX clearly states that argc can be zero, but polkit didn't know that for some reason. When you're writing privileged software, you can't make assumptions about user input (and the specs) like this.

I get that the vulnerability could have been prevented if Linux deviated from the spec like some of the BSDs might have, but we shouldn't make it the responsibility of kernel developers to make logic errors in user applications less likely.
First, it's not "all ads are evil". It's the spying and tracking of ads that most people oppose.

Second, how is this a "balanced ideological fight" counterargumnet. Let's say I oppose Facebook ads as invasion of privacy (and I do). A person on the internet used Facebook ads to make money. Those are contrary why? It's not like I'm sitting here and was like "oh, now that someone made money on the ads, I'm totally in favor of them."
> I “played” the recent matrix awakens unreal 5 tech demo and boy i really miss just driving in a huge open city.

It is visually striking and quite immersive until you start driving. Physics in games still feels really, really, far from real world physics. Even in very recently released games, physics are awful.

As an example, in Halo Infinite, all the vehicle bounce around like they are made from Styrofoam especially when you "flip" an upside down vehicle. I'm sorry but an 8k pound armored truck isn't going to act like that in the real world.

I wish game engines would put some effort into making games FEEL real more than just LOOK real.
You’re not wrong, it what does this have to do with App Store commissions? I (an end user) would be quite happy to see iOS remain a restricted environment for developers, while also lowering App Store commissions, such that more business models will be competitive on iOS.

Well this 5% is the instrument precision.
Whilst my appeal may be to authority yours is based on what you feel is right and wrong and that isn't the same as how the law works. In fact it's built to work against what a consumer feels to what that is fair. You might not like it but fair is tilted towards the large company not the consumer in the EU, especially when it comes to a company making profit.

The big telcos btw always win, but always makes the consumer happy. Have looked at Orange do this countless times.

Why don't you tell me about how happy you feel the EU is green, and then i'll tell you how happy European companies are 'green' now includes natural gas. Both sides win I suppose.
While cooking for sure, but what's interesting is that because these things leak (parent article) unless you have your range-hood running all the time you're probably pumping at least a little bit of natural gas into your kitchen 24x7.

So an improvement yes, but not a complete fix.

What does it even mean?

We're at quantum scales and the very notion of "size" is rather ill-defined.

The position of a proton, is - as a matter of fact - a probabilistic affair, so when you talk about size ... if you don't even know where the darn thing is, how are you going to measure where it starts and where it ends ...

I just don't understand where developers are coming from. Let's say I build a wildly successful theme park. It's the best theme park in the world and only a couple other theme parks exist that is as fun as my theme park.

Because I'm so good at building theme parks, do you have some kind of entitlement to put your ride in my theme park and charge people money to ride it?
For the past two weeks I've been evaluating Blazor. (C#) It's real nice. It comes in two flavors: Server-side that controls the browser via a websocket, or client-side that compiles C# into WASM. Server-side has the advantage that you don't have to wrap up all your APIs into contracts; client-side is a bit more "normal."

The Razor templating system is very nice. It's not like mustache where you have to learn a completely new syntax; it's very minor bits of C# and regular HTML.

I'm not sure I'd pick Blazor in a complete greenfield situation; but given that I'm working in a C# shop, it's a great way for C# developers to be full-stack while keeping the learning curve simple.
Well, as far as I'm aware notions of feeling or experiencing are not accounted for in our current physical models. Does an electron feel anything? On the one hand, if it does, it seems to me like physical models have to be extended to include some primitive form of consciousness. This would be something like panpsychism. On the other hand, if single electrons do not have consciousness, why do large collections of them in specific structures have it? Note that, to me, it seems insufficient to say that collections of electrons can be used to model or compute with. Namely because it raises the question of why this modeling has a feeling tone (qualia) to it.

Finally, I don't know if I can make a meaningful distinction between feeling and experiencing. I believe a feeling is an experience.
It is very easy to see if is not even close to reality: such a wet road would produce a lot of splashes and every car would be followed by a water vapor trail.

So yes, textures and some lighting effects are impressive, but not even close to real thing. It would be easier to do a sunny weather.
Well, at the very least there has to be a "space" of experiences where they can be represented and related to each other. This representation space needs to also include possible outcomes for the agent goals, this will color every perception into shades of "good" and "bad". This would explain how we can represent and value our experiences. Why do they feel like anything then? I bet it's because we have evolved hardware for it, and equally because we're playing a game with real stakes (the human game of life).

Quarks are excitations in the quark fields. Thinking about them as particles is a useful simplification/model.

Analogy: there are no "red pixels", there are just red excitations in the display RGB field.
So here's how IDFA works.

User logs in to the Facebook app, and Facebook ties the user's IDFA to their Facebook account.

User opens non-Facebook app X that uses the Facebook SDK for ads/tracking. App X sends the IDFA to Facebook, who then looks it up in their database and sees it on your account. They can now tie all user activity tracked by app X to the user's Facebook account.

Without IDFA, this kind of cross-app tracking becomes considerably more difficult.
it depends how modern, but most are there. we develop primarily on safari and see no issues.
So Apple has around one billion customers. When you look at global income distributions there are not that many more people that actually have enough income to afford their products. Practically speaking while they may grow their customer base a bit further, they cannot double it without making far cheaper products or the world’s population becoming a lot more equally distributed income-wise.

The consequence of this is that they have to lean into inequality: get their existing high income customers to pay them more money. This is why services are such a good strategy and they are so unwilling to give up on that revenue, and it is also why they are planning to launch very expensive (and therefore high profit) new product categories like vr goggles and cars targeted at their existing customer base.

Apple is so ridiculously big that it is fun to map them back onto the world economy. Their yearly revenue is 0.4% of the world economy. Their market cap is 0.6% of global wealth. But that does present a real challenge to Tim Cook to keep growing. If apple doubles again they will be 1% of the world economy. Does that make sense for what amounts to a luxury brand?
Blizzard and Bethesda are both currently known for making massive hits and then just kinda...not making a sequel within a reasonable time frame? Like, can you believe it's been over ten years since Skyrim? It was only about a five year gap between previous entries.

I really don't think it's some kind of bizarre counter-intuitive business decision, I suspect it's just wild mismanagement, a failure to take advantage of an eager audience.

I don't want annual GTA games, or Ubisoft style sequels. But 10 years is far, far too long.
Re: prepping for known unknowns.

That valuation framework has also existed historically in terms of the periodic low-key freakouts about bird flu, swine flu, etc. Also the periodic filling of hospitals during flu season (though, it has been stated here and elsewhere that hospitals filling up is frequently just a feature of how the healthcare system is run).

I think there would be a lot more useful debate if 1) people admitted that there is nothing truly unique in kind about the current situation (just degree) and 2) the "return to normal number," however that number is defined, is a real thing. The folks more concerned about the virus could advocate for more stringent constraints on reopening and vice versa. But people would at least be using a common framework that's grounded in the reality that people are willing to live with a certain amount of risk without doing much about it.
> In my example this is roughly due to the time between now and the exercise date. Over time, this shrinks, this is called beta-decay.

I think you mean theta decay. Theta is the time factor of an option's value.

Beta is, roughly, a comparison of a security's (or portfolio's) volatility versus market vol.

Beta decay is studied in a completely different industry.

That's because of the architecture of HN (and indirectly Arc I'd presume) where every created `item` (stories, comments, individual poll-items) starts with 1 point by default, as the author surely would have upvoted it anyways.

>You don't need a monopoly to do this because people can be bilingual

True, but it takes more work/effort to learn two languages than one. Whereas if we had one language (as in a monopoly), it'd be even simpler/easier.

>The same is true of internet standards. Everybody uses TCP/IP.

Yes, if protocols were businesses, they then could be thought of as having a monopoly on their domains.
Either way, this increased efficiency would mean fewer food service jobs.

I guess you should be reminded that lightning does not require intermediaries, and informed that the fees associated with long term operation of a lightning channel are negligible. Even in the case of premature settlement due to counter-party attacks you are paid out the full channel balance and therefore almost always profit in such a scenario - opening a channel with less counter-party collateral then an on chain fee is simply avoided to enable profit or recuperation every time.
Personally, I think that "who" is somewhat beside the point. "What" and "how" are the more interesting questions.

The answer to "who" just becomes "a specific instance of X" that perhaps has some low probability combination of minor characteristics compared to other Xs.

I slept once on the mats. I literally remember feeling like I was in a fuzzy and comfortable dream and waking up to my partner shaking me and asking if I am alright. I blurted out something like "What are we doing?" and I was wondering why my partner was sitting next to me and where I was and what was going on. But not in a panicked or concerned way. Like some parts of my brain knew what was happening. But the thinking me was trying to put together all the sub-conscious streams again and get them routed correctly.

Turns out his cross collar choke was tighter than I thought. It was not unpleasant and I had a mild buzzy/headache-y feel for the rest of the day. It all felt a little dreamy and is one of the strongest memories I have had in recent years. Definitely something I remember clearly.

Also: if anyone is in the Denver area we have mats at our office :)
No, the 30% commission is for digital goods (i.e. goods to be consumed on the phone -- game "coins", ebooks, music, movies, comics, app features).

GP never said vaccines prevent the collapse, they said they help, i.e. reduce deaths and the pressure on the health care system. Unfortunately they can't reduce it enough to prevent an overload.

Yes, elective (i.e. 'optional') procedures have been postponed all around the world. Due to COVID putting an extra burden on the health care system. That's what you can decrease with vaccines... And if you want to figure out (i.e. measure) if vaccines help with this, or work in general, then it's not enough to look at just a binary endpoint: "did it collapse or not". But we have very detailed and very good quality data. We do know how much vaccines reduce the hospitalization rates. There's no need and no point arguing against it. Especially not in superficial comments. (Of course, everybody is welcome to publish their own data analysis if they think they can disprove what has been published before, but whoever doesn't do the said analysis should just stick with what has been published and listen to those who actually read those publications.)
What I would like to see:

- Enun Types

- A special operator to cut down on `if err != nil { return err }` and just return at that point.

- Named arguments, and optional params with defaults

- Default values on structs

- ...macros? We already have `go generate ./...`

Everything people mentioned is true. Algae blooms, insect disruption, confusing newly hatched baby turtles, all sorts of impacts on human health, etc. But one thing often left out of the conversation around light pollution is the impact it has on plants. Many plants heavily depend on the photoperiod to tell what time of the year it is and when it should bloom. Similarly to insects, the impacts it has on plants can have a lot of downstream effects on the entire food web

Ultimately, we'll never probably be able to measure the full range of impacts it has though. It's a really complex issue

>The great thing about the web is that you are allowed to do this.

The truth is that for desktop(no idea about iOS or Android) I can also customize things as much as I want and I can do it faster and get better results. Desktop GUIs can give you pixel level access so you can have a button that plays a video inside it and rotates around while jump[ing and changing opacity.

About the Web I don't want to remove the option for everyone to invent their own menus if they want, I wish Mozilla,Google and Apple provide native options or as a stand alone library that you optionally include in your project.

For SPA this browser makers could colaborate to provide a standard framework, optional to use but would have all the basic features, bugs fixed and security updates, but it would be done by professional developers not as a side project by some Google dev with 0 experience in GUI toolkits.
