Noise pollution is a major consideration of mine (now) when choosing where to live. Having lived 'downtown' in a major city, in an older building, it was near the top of my 'list' of nuisances and materially impacted my quality of life. Cops also never did anything about it.

Linux doesn't have to tread the same path but there's no one behind it all waving a big stick when they go off track. Which is why we end up in a fragmented half baked mess every damn time and why I'm sitting here on a mac after 20 years of being promised linux on the desktop

When I tell people I swim, they're always like, "Oh wow! That is so good for you." But they don't understand, I'm not fast or a strong swimmer or anything. It's cold, I struggle with my form, I'm slow, I can't kick turn, I'm constantly gasping for breath. Swimming is getting in the pool and convincing my lizard brain that I'm drowning for an hour. But when I get out the endorphins are fantastic, like every cell of my body is so relieved to be alive.

At same time, the struggle to overcome that lizard brain response to hard physical work is itself enjoyable in a way. It wasn't when I started working out but after years it has become an acquired taste. If you'll forgive a little hyperbole, it's the moment when I look my own mortality in eye and say, "you might win eventually, but not today."
A sub without prototype (anonymous or not) indeed allows any number of arguments. That's sufficient to trigger the syntax error.

I'm not disagreeing, but this is a very good jumping off point for what is an enormous discussion in the philosophy of programming right now. You've identified the correspondence between the programming language support and relevant monadic constructions. There's also the principle that programming is about applying relevant abstractions. The point of contention revolves around the question of "Should monads be available to programmers in the abstract where programmers are supported enough to write their own monads? Or should monads be reified into language constructs, thus making it a up to the language designer to choose the finite set of available monads and syntactify them into language constructs?

A vocal camp wants monads in the abstract and feels like reified monads as language constructs completely misses the point. The other camp is happy to accept new syntax and keywords to get their work done and see monads as ivory tower language enthusiasm. The choices that language designers make increasingly put their languages on one side or another of this dividing line.

Not a car. He shot a cat.

In our neighborhood, there is a family in the same vein whose kid insisted on honking the horn whenever he rounded a corner, no matter what time of day or night. Nice requests via email by the two nearest homeowners did nothing. Showing up at his house after one of the incidents antagonized the father. The only thing that got the kid to stop was exposing him (describing the car, which is unique) on the neighborhood FB group, and the father only reluctantly stopped his son after angrily criticizing the affected family and condemning the issue coming out on Facebook.
this is a case for John Wick.
Thanks for this! Gonna watch it right now if the 3yo wants to. Update: they do.

Here's the instructions for doing the nonjudgment practice that led to all these realizations. I highly recommend them. The effects are quite literally lifechanging, unlocking/unblocking joys I didn't even know were possible.

I disagree quite strongly, seigniorage the value created when issuing currency is a huge issue. Privatizing seigniorage a currently a public good (excluding some very dysfunctional government) and making it a private good collectively makes most people worse off. Even a government with problems the wealth from seigniorage is going to be far more widely distributed and spent on common benefits.
Homestead exemptions for older folks already exist. Perhaps a higher tax rate for those not living in a property?
I'm not clear if this is a list of suggested SEO tasks, or if it's just a shared checklist (that can be populated with suggested SEO tasks). If the former, it would be nice to see some examples, and I'm not sure why I would need to register to see it. If it's the latter, the site doesn't do a great job of selling the value of such a service.

They would have to break your hard drive encryption AND have the laptop itself.

Doable by a nation state? Sure. By Bob the mugger? No.

That is fine for 98% of users.
Saw some tests that had the same pattern. Passed half the day, and failed the other half of the day. I assume it always worked during India work hours.
> but I suspect any high-performance game requires an equivalent level of getting deep down into the code and having a critical understanding of your structures, algorithms, and how your computer primitives fundamentally work and interact.

I don't think most indie devs developing games are making "high-performance games". Rather they're spending most of their time in the "business logic" of the game, since most optimizations will have been handled by the engine (I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing either!). I definitely feel that I learned more about data structures, algorithms, and performance optimization outside of the game dev world than in it.
It's not.

This is garbage research. Nine participants took part in a study where they were prompted to do mental arithmetic adding or subtracting numbers between 0-5 while wired up with ultra-fine electrodes measuring the how frequently 585 individual neurons fired while completeing the task.

I presume at that point the data were mined for a publishable result. What they came up with was that by selecting a very small subset (~%5) of the neurons they measured they were able to tease out a result that certain neurons 'encode addition or subtraction'.

Is this real? Maybe. It's in now way explanatory. It doesn't offer any sort of model hypothesis or predictions worth testing. It's really a waste of time.
this is my #1 public nuisance
the lines rarely are the issue but the copper-cable length from home to the DSLAM:

Less cable-meters mean less reachable households per DSLAM. And the DSLAM costs - both hardware and maintenance. Regardless if 2 or 20 customers connect. So the carrier wants to conect as many as possible and so they have to suffer cable length.
> direct air capture of carbon + a carbon market that rewarded that

That could be nice. Maybe if the DOE money helped with capital to build a direct air carbon capture system. Then the nuclear plants can sell credits to oil/gas based energy companies similar to how like Tesla sells its credits to other car manufacturers.

These apps look very nice, I am happy to see this movement. But this is HN so ... allow me to go a bit off topic and complain.

Why is is so freaking hard to install an app on Linux (Ubuntu)? There's nothing in the software center, and when I find an app I want I am just pointed to a .tar.gz or something. I want a file I can double-click and end up with a launchable icon representing that app in my dock later. I would also like to be able to update that app easily in the future. I have yet to have this experience with an app I wanted despite using Ubuntu for years.

This is why I have given up and just started using Windows with WSL. Then I can have all the command-line tools I like and also a sane app installation experience.
for what its worth we do have a super early stage (preseed) startup building on us and they're happy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHifpzMn6kA

The author comes off as over the top negative.

I've participated in game jams, I do my little part as a member of a team and then I move on with my life. It's not a great tragedy if my side project doesn't make me 7 million.

I've never really put too much effort into art for my games, I either use stuff from the asset store, or hire someone else to do it. Occasionally I have artistic friends who contribute as well.

The only thing you really need to do is level design. Go on the unity asset store, buy an AI kit for 10$, or find an open source one.

Unity Learn is fantastic for new developers.

I think the entire point is to start small. There's no reason to try and build an amazing game for your first project. If you told me you started learning program two months ago and you just gave me pong, I'd be impressed.

Especially if you had it running on an Android device and on the Google Play Store.
Ah just couple more steps away from Demolition man and receiving on the spot tickets for cursing after you stub a toe. I want to like Democrats and I prefer their take on sexual and societal freedom, but they are always doubling down on taking away our rights to privacy just like the police state (violence) loving right wing people in the USA.

We don't need to switch summer production to winter if we keep improving grid inter-connectors. We will still need a lot more storage though. And insulation.
> If they shot into someone's house or even yard, they would be in jail.

Maybe over the weekend, if they got caught and if the cops could be convinced to care about it. Without some serious priors, I'd expect probation and a fine to be the outcome. And now your neighbor, who was willing to shoot a cat, is very angry at you....
I laughed. It’s excellent, and great fit for the crowd here.
Next time you are in a car driving next to a Harley, listen to it. It will be quiet even at a stoplight and inaudible at speed.

The road is a noisy place. Cars are soundproofed to deal with that. A loud engine antagonizes everyone not driving but drivers won't even hear it.

It would be nice to limit scopes on the oauth request. For example an app used just to report on positions and historical performance. I would be very hesitant to give access to by TD account when it says it could make trades on my behalf, but would happily give read-only access.
Oh, hey, Randal. Thanks for the correction.

Looking forward to the next time we can have steaks and Scotch.

Full disclosure: I am a founding engineer at this company.

Imo typing is just the most relevant part of the system for how the SDK feels for the developer. The fundamental problems we currently solve are more so related to reproducibility and software rot in particular, and to working with terabyte scale data which is almost universal in bioinformatics. The SDK lets you get a pretty good interface to an arbitrary sized compute node with a native interface to S3, and types make it basically effortless.

I'd love to hear what other problems you think need to be addressed. We've been in business for less than a year, naturally there is still a lot of work to do.
Vanilla HTML Canvas is easy to get started with and can be a lot of fun.
> And some believe even that wouldn't have been necessary:

Those people would be wrong as the historical record shows:

> The Japanese Army and Navy had their own independent atomic-bomb programs and therefore the Japanese understood enough to know how very difficult building it would be. Therefore, many Japanese and in particular the military members of the government refused to believe the United States had built an atomic bomb, and the Japanese military ordered their own independent tests to determine the cause of Hiroshima's destruction.[84] Admiral Soemu Toyoda, the Chief of the Naval General Staff, argued that even if the United States had made one, they could not have many more.[85] American strategists, having anticipated a reaction like Toyoda's, planned to drop a second bomb shortly after the first, to convince the Japanese that the U.S. had a large supply.[61][86]

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrender_of_Japan#Hiroshima,_...

Even after the second bomb there was still some disagreement:

> In the middle of the meeting, shortly after 11:00, news arrived that Nagasaki, on the west coast of Kyūshū, had been hit by a second atomic bomb (called "Fat Man" by the United States). By the time the meeting ended, the Big Six had split 3–3. Suzuki, Tōgō, and Admiral Yonai favored Tōgō's one additional condition to Potsdam, while General Anami, General Umezu, and Admiral Toyoda insisted on three further terms that modified Potsdam: that Japan handle their own disarmament, that Japan deal with any Japanese war criminals, and that there be no occupation of Japan.[96]

* Ibid

The Japanese government were still split on how to proceed after two atomic bombs were dropped. They were willing to stop fighting but only under their terms.

If Germany was willing to stop fighting, but only if Hitler and the Nazis were allowed to stay in power (and keep a bunch of territory, etc), would that have been acceptable? Because that's basically what the Japanese were asking for.
Well of course civilians will fight invaders in Okinawa, it's their homeland. The Nihau incident, on the other hand, involved hawaiians, not japanese. If you consider them part of the japanese population, what about the US? How many americans from japanese descent attacked soldiers there?

About the bombings, the targeted bombing wasn't working very well because of weather, so they decided to obliterate cities with incendiary bombs, civilians and all.

But returning to mass murdering civilians to advance military objectives: what would you think of the Soviet Union destroying with atomic weapons Munich and Frankfurt, to force Hitler to an unconditional surrender? Would reducing the deaths of soviet soldiers be a good justification?
No country wants its currency tied to some restricted quantity. The entire idea of owning a currency by the government is be able to manipulate it. If Bitcoin can be currency, why not gold or something else?

What assurances are there that cameras with microphones won't be turned into devices of mass surveillance of the population at large? It isn't exactly out of the realm of New York's track record, given their propensity towards "Stop and Frisk".
You're right. You can hold whatever opinion you want, with whatever evidence or lack thereof you'd like. It is a free country.

You'll have a hard time convincing most people that way, thankfully, though I'm sure it does work for convincing some.
It's pretty typical for cops not to bother to pursue animal cruelty charges, especially if it's "just" a neighbor's pet. Then if there's any potential "defense", like the pet entering their property, it's basically guaranteed it won't be pursued unless the victim has cop connections.

They could be sued civilly, but the damages you'd win are basically the cost of a replacement pet, so super insulting.

Nice try but Black Lives Matter started after the Michael Brown shooting, which was during the Obama administration.

correction: first started after George Zimmerman was acquitted on murder charges for killing Trayvon Martin, which the year before Michael Brown was killed, still during the Obama administration.
One more to the list: GITAI is hoping to send a centaur-like rover with a robot torso in mid-2020[0]. Given that the current version is using some off the shelf sensor I have no idea how realistic is this timeline though.

the idea of having to go in those damned menus one more time just to launch an app sends shivers down my spine. I already barely tolerate windows and macOS's prompts when downloading executables.
There's a freeway about a mile from my house. Summer nights with the windows open, I can easily be awakened by a very loud motorcycle. The freeway is raised and I'm in a sort of canyon (no line of sight to freeway, though!!). Maybe the acoustics are just perfect for my bedroom, but I doubt it's just me. There are probably a million people within earshot of this noise.

Lest people think I'm a motorcycle hater: I owned one for years. I had a stock and quiet muffler on it, though.
Your examples are very suspect a lot of Hindu on Hindu atrocities and Hindu on Buddhist atrocities is entirely manufactured.

Excellent links - thank you so much for the resources.

I'm very excited to see what the Pinephone Pro brings as a platform to build towards in this regard. I'm already eyeing shipping some apps on Flathub!

I hope the React Native => Flathub pipeline gets built out, similar to what Ubuntu is doing with Flutter => Snap. Exciting times!

libadwaita and Kirigami are huge improvements for the desktop app ecosystem from what I've seen as a user. When I started to delve into desktop applications I quickly realized there's a couple hurdles I face:

1. QT was an ecosystem shock to me. I barely knew what to do to get started and got lost easily.

2. Do these applications work outside of Linux; more directly, do they have dynamic dependencies? From my experience, the former is difficult and the answer to the latter is yes.

3. The lack of library support for Go and Rust is notable. Sometimes I want to throw a UI on top of what used to be a terminal app written in Go (or Rust).
it's not surprising of course - if only because most addition and subtraction involves small sets of disjoint memorized number facts
Have you read Developer Hegemony by Erik Dietrich?

I wish I could tell you it has the full solution to your problems. I don't think it does, but it's well worth the read, because it does such a good job at mapping out the problem space that we have.

His proposed solution is to form what he calls "efficiencier firms", software consultancies that work from a directive of making the client's business more efficient, rather than working from specs like "this button should be blue". I think that's indeed how software developers should operate, but I don't see how you sell that idea to clients, who like you said, expect someone they can treat like an employee and just tell them to shut up and make the buttons blue. They'd take a very big risk to give you money and wait and see what you come up with.

There's also the problem of execution. We have to get a reputation for consistently successful software projects on time and on budget. Which I think is possible given all the tools and literature, but I feel most developers are never get good at it because they are stuck on a few death march projects for their entire careers.
I love that it would take another century (almost exactly, AE ~1837, Turing's "machines" paper 1936) for the required insight that the computation was interchangeable, and indeed the HW need not be so sophisticated.

Speeding should be enforced the same way. Police have better things to do.
That isn't anywhere near enough. The World Economic Forum estimates that something closer to a trillion trees are required.

And not just planted, but cared for to make sure that they don't just die and release the carbon back. It's also easier said than done: most of the world's population lives in cities, and don't have access to land on which to plant trees.

Even so, it's not really solving all of the problems. It's like turning on the taps faster rather than patching the hole in the bucket. There are all kinds of follow-on effects from putting so much carbon into the atmosphere that won't be solved simply by removing it in another place -- even if you could meet that extremely high goal. Fossil fuels pollute other things besides CO2, and CO2 is absorbed by the oceans that make them more acidic.

Planting more trees is a worthwhile start, but it won't mean anything if we don't also find ways to dramatically reduce the amount of fossil fuels we turn into atmospheric carbon.
Gas powered leaf blowers are horrible - noise and air pollution. Electric ones aren't bad.
I expect that most "bakers" in the US today work for grocery chains (or maybe for manufacturers of packaged bread and pastry products--not sure how precisely the category is defined). They're probably mostly not working for artisan specialty bakeries although I wouldn't be shocked if people at those places weren't exactly raking it in either.

The vast majority of motorcyles in America are illegally modified to be louder than they should [0]. This crime is basically impossuble to police because you need an offer with a reliable sound meter device in the right place at the right time. I am glad NY is going to automate this.

I used to live on a street (Guerrero St in SF) that had loud motorcycles ripping down in the middle of the night on a daily basis. Every time this happens I am sure multiple people wake up, causing loss of sleep and therefore loss of happiness and productivity. All so some selfish rider can have their loud toy.

Not sure why this is getting downvoted, increasing exposure to police increases number of shootings, especially for minorities. And don’t ask for citations, this is and has been all over everywhere for years.
