IDK why but HN is the only website working on super old device. For example, my old Blackberry which I have bought few days ago (which means I do not familliar with BB at all) totally refuses to load any other website. Also, totally correct work in Operamini.jar (except of impossibility to upvote and other JS) is a beam of light if I am hiking in very wild places with old Nokia and 1/10 bars of antenna level. I do not want any new functional added because it definitely will break the perfectness of this website.

an artificial shortage made by private investors.

the russians are selling the gas as per contract, but because it is cheaper than what you can get on the spot market, some idiots are making a quick buck by selling the cheap gas for the spot market price.

well, something like that

Oh, does `add-libs` require the JVM?

I thought it was in effect fetching remote code, from git or wherever, and then executing it (or loading it) in the local environment.

I'm just curious to understand the situation better, but which part architecturally strictly needs the JVM? Even with babashka, or on this website, I don't think anything stops me from Frankensteining in an external library in a running REPL. I could technically fetch the content of a library's repo and then copy each file and run its contents (with the ns blocks) in the REPL. Then the library would become locally available (assuming it's a very plain Clojure library that is)

I assume `add-libs` is sort of a convenience wrapper for the same idea
We know this affects race car drivers especially - the mental efford of driving the car at high speeds gets their heads to dangerous temperatures. But yes, you are correct - it could be "just" the stress too.

There's reasons to doubt this.

First it's very short term thinking by China. Victory is assured for them if the boat isn't rocked too much and they continue the path of economic integration and economic growth. Their economy will be 2x the US economy and then they will be in a better position to assert their geopolitical interests.

Second consider the consequences to China of NATO expansion in the East, which the UK has started to discuss as a good idea in the last few days. That is not good for China's geopolitical position.
If I remember right, they refused to sign a new contract with Russia and tried to buy it spot as a matter of "economy"

There's been much more data-driven decision making / data science applied to the sport, but no huge watershed moment like in baseball or basketball.

I think that has to do with the fact that compared to the mentioned sports, soccer doesn't really have any single pivotal roles, that can make or break a match, which you can then optimize for/around.

Fundamentally speaking, soccer is a pretty slow moving game as far as scoring goes. One goal can be enough, and teams either play defensive or offensive games - while the other team tries to find weaknesses around their plays.

From what I've seen, a lot of the data science around soccer goes on things like player condition, predicting what players to swap out around games, analyzing weak / strong patterns in the strategy / playing style, and similar. I've seen this been done via camera usage and machine learning, analyzing ball position, player position - player performance on and off the field, and similar stuff. But this is 5-6-7 years ago, so probably outdated information...the info came from a guy that worked for a ML research group, who in turn had people that consulted for certain European clubs.

It definitely makes a difference knowing you have the option, the startup I worked for exited last year leaving me with a significant but not life changing windfall from cashing out my options. I'm still in the same job, but now working for a big corporate, and some days I absolutely hate it, but I at least know that I'm here by choice rather than necessity. Should it become too much I've got enough money in the bank to just rage quit and walk away without needing to immediately find another job.

It's most certainly not nearly as expensive as Qatar or US LNG. Do you care to list some links or did you just make this up? Also, when did it steal natgas from Germany, exactly?
On the contrary, trial and error is a process that relies on thousands of years and many subjects to yield reliable repeatable results. Unless you are implying that Wim Hoff studied pranayama deeply and learned for himself the aspects of the practice which are relevant to him (which he now extols), I don't understand how you think that the trial and error of one man is better than that of generations of men - is it just because the first is a Westerner?

Our $100M Series C financing
I've been working on my own text editor (which I'm apparently not the only one doing that here), and my plan is to switch to using a single B-tree, where the leaf nodes, besides holding the text (and also a color list for basic syntax highlighting), also a list of "pointer" objects, which would hold the carets/extra highlighting references/whatnot. Means two objects per selection (separate start & end pointer), but only one tree to have to scan through.
Execute Program[1] uses this, and while I was initially annoyed at having to check my email to log in, it has grown on me. I only have to do the email step once in a while since the auth cookie is long-lived.

Found this part funny:

> As I contemplated whether it could help me cope with the cold, it occurred to me that using this sacred technique to avoid discomfort might not be in line with its origins in Buddhism, a religion in which suffering is acknowledged and accepted.

Buddhism is all about the complete cessation of suffering, so that part’s not technically correct. The Buddha did talk a lot about renouncing physical comforts and not creating unnecessary suffering in harsh environments, though.

The core body temperature part of this phenomenon is actually the less interesting part here. It’s not too mind boggling that activating certain nervous pathways will stimulate certain metabolic activity and perhaps alter blood flow via hormonal means.

Where it’s really cool (read: even more practically useful in your everyday life) is to explore the effects on the mind. It’s not controversial to claim that picturing a warm fire inside your body will bring some degree mental comfort in cold or very cold conditions. However for most people, this would hard to sustain.

One would look around, see the snow, remember how thin one’s clothing is, and be interrupted with the cold sensations making contact with the skin. Further thoughts about how cold it is are likely to arise, and the nice belly fire and the comfort it provided is no more. One might even start to imagine the lack of warm blood going to the extremities, the cold penetrating down to the bones, and frostbite setting in, even if that's not the case yet.

It’s easy to imagine how, with a trained mind, one might have a greater ability to sustain this internal mental fabrication (buddhism calls this saṅkhāra) of an internal fire. Not only strengthening it and maintaining attention on it, but de-prioritising the amount of mental activity devoted to thinking about how cold it is (i.e. mental fabrications around the cold - like it reaching the bones).

Why it's useful to explore this, is to consider that in ordinary life we are doing this sort of thing constantly - it's simply that it's to a lesser degree, and in subtler ways. The implications of that to our quality of life are enormous. Ever notice how the world looks different when when something good happens, or you are feeling optimistic, versus when things aren't going so well and you're more pessimistic?

The extent to which we put together our experience, and, by extension, how we can begin to have some influence over that as a conscious process is sorely, sorely underestimated.

"When Doug Lindsay was at college he got ill very suddenly. It was the same mystery illness his mother and aunt had suffered from for most of their lives. Doctors were baffled. Doug had to drop out of college and was bedridden for years. He decided to take matters into his own hands and work out what was wrong with him. In search of a cure, Doug eventually persuaded doctors to perform a surgery that had never been done on humans before. He spoke to Outlook's Jo Fidgen, in an interview first broadcast in December 2019."

You probably would not recognize its skyline as African without context.

I might, but that's mostly because I've met a lot of other immigrants here in Norway - a good number have been from various parts of Africa so I've been exposed to a great deal of city pictures.

I lament that a lot of imagery from Africa - that is presented to Americans, anyway - as a whole are set in so-called "backwards" villages. They aren't really false, per se, but continually setting up pictures like this leaves out so much nuance.
No, certainly not. First of all, Germany does care about the Ukraine. Both on a political level as on a social one. Many Germany have friendships with people from Ukraine. I myself have several in my wider social circle.

There is also the European perspective. The cornerstone of European piece policy has been the integrity of state borders. This is now violated, so this is of very grave concern.

Putin himself stated yesterday, that he considers the Ukraine a part of Russia, so there is concern that he won't stop anytime soon, unless stopped. Ironically, an occupation of the Ukraine makes him what he claimed to try to prevent - a direct neighbor to the NATO states. We can only hope he stops before attacking NATO.

>What if reason developers aren’t “shipping” is due to project scope and/or lack of resources (e.g. number of developer hours and/or expertise level of developers)? From my experience, this is the most likely issue. Difficult for developers to resolve that by increasing the granularity of tasks.

>due to project scope and/or lack of resources

The product scope will at least be clearer with well written tasks. If it's a scope thing, then it will force the biz to be precise in what they want, lowering the back and forth between dev and the pm and biz. If it's a lack of resource thing, the biz needs to learn to prioritize and come to the realization that they want way more than they have the manpower to produce. Once this becomes evident, it will get bounced to a higher level.

>number of developer hours and/or expertise level of developers

These are two different things. The first is a resource availability problem and was addressed (see above). The second is a resource ability problem. This is where the smaller tasks come in. "Build a queueing system with grids that sort and search" is a lot bigger than "Create these tables," "Create this grid," "Add sorting," "Add searching." It's the divide and conquer strategy. A lower ability developer might get stuck understanding the task as a whole, but if you break it up into bite sized chunks, they might be able to accomplish each individually, or at least show better progress on some of them.

You also have to understand, you might have someone who isn't up to the task for a particular subset of skills (say database design, backend design, or UI design, etc). This will at least show you where your devs have holes in their ability/toolset. You can then decide to train them up, or just put a different developer who has that skillset on that particular task, or replace some of them.

Say you have one developer that is good at database modeling and backend and one dev that is good at UI. That's easy. Have the first do the backend / db modeling stuff and the second do the UI stuff. This allows devs to do what they are good at and ship times should improve.
It may be possible for persons to be "doctors", provide medical advice and care for others, without being a part of the "medical establishment". Call yourself a chiropractor, or say you're practicing "alternative medicine".

I certainly don't want to visit any building where modern medicine is committed, now; and have no faith in the good will (much less ability) of anyone who voluntarily associates themselves with that profession. Even the good people that are there have had their hands tied and their minds broken.
> That's fine. My editor is for me, not for you. To me, if you have to do bracket matching on a 2GB XML file an editor is the wrong tool. I'd work with that in a REPL. But that's me. You're totally free to pick your editor based on the need to handle 2GB files, just as I'm free not care one iota about opening 2GB files.

Ok. But tbh I hate REPLs and/or CLI. Text is just better served by a visual text editor.

Then you can't really compare something for general use case to something used for you.

It was an example how naive approaches failed. Your personal editor doesn't particularly interests me.

We run preemptive queues, and no. Not all jobs are compatible with that. Esp. the code researchers developed themselves.

My own code also doesn't have support for checkpointing. Currently it's blazing fast, but for bigger jobs it might need the support, and it needs way more cogs inside the pipeline to make it possible.
South Korea's demography is crashed but their economic growth is still strong. There is more to growth than that. There's no reason why China can't double its GDP in the next few decades and then assert itself much more strongly after it has achieved that.

Yes, of course you can heat with electricity - and using heat pumps this is definitely the future. However, the amount of nuclear available would make only a small difference here. It should be much easier to just buy gas internationally and push forward with renewables.
It might also have to do with avoiding confusion with the word "ahistorical".
I think you've missed my point. I am just saying that creating a better world for your children is very motivating to a lot of people. Both rich and poor. And if you do that your children will have an advantage over others, just like if statistically you stay together in your marriage your children will have an advantage.

Does that mean in the name of equality we should level the playing field for children advantaged by their parents? How will that affect society if you try and nullify the hard work of every parent?

I guess it's 50/50 fault of my own negligence and flutter causing this jank.

Respectfully, I’ve done this specific job in the past for industrial/commercial building construction. It’s very, very difficult to get builders to build the thing to perfectly match the drawings. They often build what is convenient, or make absent-minded changes.

We do try to update the drawings to match reality (a revision known as “as-builts”) but perfection is very elusive IRL.

To add to the other replies here. It also puts the project in a precarious position since there is a huge amount of work involved in reimplementing UI controls from scratch and keeping them up to date with the platforms.

China is not stupid to become depended on Russian gas or oil supply. The deal they signed with Russia is for 38 billion cubic meters of gas sent through "Power of Siberia" gas pipe (for comparison, in 2006 Poland purchase from Russia 206 billion cubic meters) and this throughput will be reached in 2025.

Russia has no practical way to transfer gas designated for Europe to China, there is no pipe they can use as gas comes from different sources.

But yes, China is looking how Europe, USA, NATO is handling the situation as this will give some hints if "the West" is still capable to defend Taiwan, Philippines, Japan...
