I have family that are young earth creationists, and the only way it ever came up is from a Noah's Ark with dinosaurs picture book they had around their house when me and my cousins were kids. It just isn't a topic that comes up often; especially not with co-workers or acquaintances.
The US loves to sedate. You guys get absolutely blasted when you have your wisdom teeth removed. In most of Europe you get strong pill painkillers for the first few days and then it’s paracetamol.
I am convinced the narrative of Putin acting irrational is intended by the man. We are supposed to be scared of a nuclear war. This we cannot accept. A much better way is to see this as a game of chess with a sane opponent.

The plant they're talking about near us in the UK says a 35 year operating lifetime.

No idea if they'd have to replace the batteries in that lifetime though.
Hunga Tonga volcano spewed ash 36 miles high, a world record
I wrote a small lisp in Rust. I try to not do obviously stupid things, but it's just a basic parser + AST interpreter; its execution speed is slow compared to even a basic bytecode interpreter, and it's absurdly slow compared to a JIT. Yet it runs hello world in a fraction of a millisecond, whereas V8 needs tens of milliseconds.

In executing one computationally intensive program, V8 would be many orders of magnitude faster than my program. But in a test which largely consists of running tens of thousands of small, uninteresting test case programs, my silly interpreter would outperform V8 by orders of magnitude.

Essentially, performance is complicated, and improving throughput often has costs in other areas.
This is the usual way of hiding the weakest aspect of renewable electricity generation.
It's not the architect or design that costs. Building 5 identical houses next to each other is simply much cheaper and faster due to the economy of scales of prefabricating and delivering identical elements and being able to use the same machinery and crew to put them all up att once. Spreading the out over 5 postcodes means you need more people, more construction equipment, more infrastructure work etc. etc.
I wonder what is the best way to process huge amounts of time-series data (several thousand records per second). When I search for "time series database" I get something like MySQL, InfluxDB, TimescaleDB etc, but all of them are way too powerful and have their own query language and storage engine etc which are hard to learn and manipulate. In case you run out of storage/memory/CPU etc or when you want to query something that the database doesn't support, there is no way out of it without waiting for the database vendor to provide some new feature.

Now I'm just writing all data to plain text files, one JSON object per line, and query and process them with cli tools like jq. Regular compression tools like zstd, pattern matchers like grep works. All the Unix philosophy applies and it's easy to do anything I want without being restricted to the features of a certain database.
It may feel snappy compared to other electron apps but is still a lot slower than native apps. Especially the startup time.
This assumes that trucks and cars will continue to use "nozzles" and "hoses" rather than the evolution of swapping cannisters of hydrogen.
If Tesla can build a mostly-robotic factory, we can make robotic hydrogen bottle-swapping refueling stations.

Of course, this is a future thing, not a now thing.
This is amazing. Coming from Python and Node, this makes C so much more usable to me!
-What you are witnessing is not sanctions.

Per Kremlin new-speak, it is 'special economic operations'.
Thank you for the kind words! I'm hopefully on the other side of it now having gone through it about 1.5 years ago. Smack in the middle of the original COVID peak, which made the situation all the more fun. I'm in what they call "careful observation" or "surveillance" now - blood work every 3 months, CT scan every 6. So far, so good!

I did perform the monthly self-exams, and that is how I was lucky to have caught it so early. I had a similar feeling about "how am I going to feel a lump on this thing" for years, but when the time came it was a combination of feeling what I thought was a lump but feeling what I KNEW was a difference.

The trick is in doing the exam enough times to know the lay of the land well. Then it becomes an exercise in detecting a difference, rather than a specific bump.

A decent plan of attack might be to start with your next physical/yearly visit. The doctor should check them out, so take that opportunity to ask any questions or even ask for a walkthrough on how to do it yourself. At that point you know you're "good", so anything you are feeling is just how yours are. Then just practice the exam and build your mental map.

For what it's worth, most of the lumps we think we feel tend to be the epididymis which is at the top and can run down the back of the testicle. Also, the cords can get in the way sometimes. We've got some space down there, take advantage of it to shift things around to get a different angle!
You can take it as far as you want to—and then you can still get cancer. A healthy lifestyle helps put the odds in your favour, but is no guarantee whatsoever.
Yes, being able to replicate the issue in a small piece of code is a very good thing.

First it helps to triage whether the bug is in your own code or in other code.

You also then can use it like the author and find the commit which introduced the bug.

And you can use it as a test case to verify if the bug is closed.
All of these nice things are happening in many European cities where they have prioritized people over cars. None of this will happen in any meaningful scale or timeline in the US to reverse the country’s decline.
There is a ton of stuff that makes life richer. That doesn't mean we should be teaching it at schools. I can think of movies, games, novels, TV shows, blogs, and music that have had orders of magnitude more impact on my life and thinking than Shakespeare. Should we be teaching any of that stuff at school?

I'm willing to believe that some people like Shakespeare, but it's a small minority. You can tell by the number of people who read Shakespeare for pleasure - is that number larger or smaller than the number of people who read JK Rowling? Why should we teach the entertainment that a small number of people prefer in schools? I believe the only reason we actually do is tradition.

You mention that you can simply have someone learned in plumbing or sundry skill do those tasks for you. I can do one better. I can simply have no one read Shakespeare for me and I can not read it at all and nothing is lost. That is, of course, because unlike plumbing or laying wire there is no reason to need Shakespeare.

It's good that you enjoy Shakespeare, but some people enjoy plumbing. Plus, plumbing has a practical purpose, unlike Shakespeare. There is no real reason to teach Shakespeare, other than tradition, and people trying to seem smart or educated. There are many other subjects that make a much stronger case for deserving to be in school curriculum.

I read a quote somewhere that goes something like "A society that separates warriors and scholars will have an army led by fools and thinking done by cowards." Similar logic, with different vocabulary, applies, I think, to a society where scholars can't do manual labor.
Coal + gas is no longer 80% of supply in the US. Your numbers are out of date: https://www.eia.gov/outlooks/steo/report/electricity.php

A lot of coal disappeared in recent years and there are quite a few more coal plants closing soon. Coal is not economical anymore. Even keeping existing plants running has become uneconomical.

So, it's more like 58% for gas and coal combined at this point. Some of the coal capacity is replaced with gas but actually most of it is replaced with wind/solar. Gas is actually declining as well the last few years because not all planned gas plants actually make it to completion and some plants that do get built basically are reduced to the role of a peaker plant that only runs when there's a shortage.

Some plans for new plants actually got shelved entirely and there are also some older plants that are no longer economical that are actually getting shut down. Hence the net decline for gas power generation.

So, take that 40% new gas generation with a grain of salt. That might not actually happen. There might be permits and plans for this but that doesn't mean they'll actually build the plants. My guess is that nobody is in a hurry to build new gas power plants right now given the current gas prices. The cost just doesn't add up anymore relative to cheap wind and solar. Even before Russia invaded Ukraine.

Anyway, according to this, renewables grew from around 5% in 2005 to about 13% this year. It will swap third place with nuclear in a few years and number two position shortly after when coal continues to crash.
It just kind of sucks, when it happens, you are thrown into recovery console at boot and there is no solution.

From what I saw, it happened if the disk initialization took longer and ZoL looked for its pools before all disks were found. It hints at improper dependencies in ZoL startup.
Where are all these batteries and solar panels made ? How much GHG was emitted to build them, and how much GHG is expected to be saved by choosing this kind of electrical grid instead of alternatives ?
MongoDB is pretty popular among newbie nodejs developers. (That's not a complement, btw).
I am a Windows power user, and the default Windows calculator is one of very few programs bundled with the OS that I actually use - and I use it quite frequently.

And I click on the number digits.

Why?

1. Usually I only click on a few buttons, for example I paste some number, then press / then 2, and then typically ENTER key on the numpad (because I can just press it with the thumb of the hand still holding the mouse). Why should I move my hand from the mouse to the keyboard in order to just press two keys? And then I would also need to check if Num Lock is enabled.

2. I had a phase trying Emacs and Vim and eventually decided I don't care about being more efficient at text editing. I want to edit the text effortlessly, and I find selecting text with mouse, or pressing arrow keys repeatedly, actually requiring less effort from me. Yes, it takes more time, but it's not a time lost, I'm thinking about some problem, and no part of my brain needs to think what kind of text editing function I should use. Likewise, clicking a few buttons in a calculator takes more time, but it's not a race. If I have to make a lot of calculations, I'm more likely to use Excel, so it's rare that I actually type stuff into the calculator.

3. Sometimes my left hand is simply not available (I'm petting my dog or eating something or maybe holding my laptop), and while I have a numpad, using functions like sine would require my right hand to travel. In similar vein, sometimes instead of Ctrl+clicking on a link to open it in a new tab, I just right-click, and choose a context option. It does annoy me slightly, but sometimes not enough to start using my left hand.
Russian military communications intercepted after they destroyed 4G towers
> Russia has no say. It's not a negotiation between NATO and Russia. Russia isn't at the table

Well that attitude brought us to that point.
Russia thinks that it should be at the table and it can prove it.

> And the way Putin's been killing journalists and dissidents (in the UK no less), raiding the treasury, annexing Crimea, and other nonsense, I don't see them being invited to many negotiations in the future.

Turkey is NATO member, do you know anything about Erdogan deeds? Or maybe that story when Saudi Prince DISMEMBERED that journalist in embassy and everyone were okay with it?

In our modern societies there are lots of cancer risk involved that (most) people can not see.

For example using a microwave with microscopic cracks in the glass and staying nearby. All the diesel particles and exhaust car fumes and tire dust in the cities. The terrible air quality near maritime ports because of the bad quality ships do with ultra cheap fuels.

The extermination of gut microbiota with the use of pesticides and the use of artificial sweeteners.

Genetically engineered food that is flooded in pesticides(engineered so the plant can withstand them).

The excess use of liquid oils and refined sugars that were never consumed by humans and that are correlated with cancer and cardiovascular disease.

The excess use of the fridge and premade foods making essential nutrients go away as the food freezes, so you eat but starve.

Contraceptive pills that are hormone bombs in your body.

Chemical products like benzene that industries like energy extraction's leak on aquifers and Perfluorooctanoic acid you could generate just burning a teflon pan you forget to put oil or butter in(or using the 3d printer with exotic materials).

All of those risk can be extreme but most people just can't see it. I have seen people burn out a teflon pan and not understand that they have to trow it away immediately. I have seen people handling benzene like water.

You can believe that you are eating healthy because you eat lots of vegetables but if those are flooded in pesticides, then it is not so healthy.
first of all, that is not true - there are places that allow mixed usage - and it is not 'the US' that doesn't allow it - zoning is almost always a local function, i.e. state and city/town governments make these decisions.

If resident in a certain area don't allow mixed-use areas, its because the voters in those places don't want it. If the voters in 'anytown, USA' wanted a mixed use district - they would have it. Obviously it is not what most people want.

I know I don't want it, and would vote against in it my area. Who wants to buy a house in some quiet area and then have a combo 7-11/gas station popup across the street so that some huge corporation and make just a bit more money at the expense of a nice quiet residential area being destroyed?
> It's necessary but every year? Doubtful without more data.

Did you read the part where the commenter said that they have an unusual genetical condition and that's the reason they have yearly colonoscopies?

>If you’ve been a Mac user for more than a few years, let me ask you a question: what is the newest application you have installed that turned out to be so useful and well-made it’s now part of your essential tools? An app that really got you excited and happy to be a Mac user?

CleanShotX, Viscocity, Tunesify, and Pixelmator.

>Remember when I was pointing out that iPads were becoming incredibly powerful machines but with an OS that wasn’t capable of taking full advantage of that amazing hardware? Apple has managed to put the Mac in a similar position, in my opinion. The new 14-inch and 16-inch M1 Pro/Max MacBook Pros are brutally performant and energy-efficient machines, but with an operating system that instead of aging well has been rendered immature by too many haphazard plastic surgeries.

Such as? Because all my pro apps still work: Photoshop and Creative Suite (and Affinity versions of the same), Final Cut Pro, Resolve, and Premiere, Logic, Pro Tools, Live, Cubase, and co, and so on.

In fact, thanks to M1, their recent versions work better and faster than ever.
Sounds like a pretty accurate representation of the human international politics, basically at every single point since recorded history has begun. This is not "the worst thing that has happened since 1945", it's standard operating procedure.

What is shocking to many people is that aggression has not started from their home turf, and that this time, it's not some apparently underdeveloped people somewhere in Africa or Asia or the Middle East or South America, but a place in the middle of Europe that's on the receiving end.
>Which over generalization is that?

Because correlation does not equal causation, complicated-seeming math and control groups notwithstanding.
Many of the things that are more comfortable to do on a desktop computer is because many web app/site developers consider mobile devices as crippled computers and often such sites do not offer the user all of the options. The "request desktop site" shouldn't still be a thing in 2022.
If you got it at 26, I'd recommend a gene test to see if there is a hereditary factor, and for your kids too.

That is what I have. "Luckily", out of four siblings, I'm the only one that tested positive and therefore the only one in my family that gets checked every year.
There will most likely be some sophistry/FUD on the part of lobbyists.

Fusion in the long-term answer will provide benefits far beyond just eliminating power station greenhouse gas emissions, I suspect, but there are many technical and economic hurdles that have to be overcome, any of which could be pointed to when questions about allocation of state funding come up.
Why does the glass matter in a microwave oven? I thought the metal box (and the metal mesh) was enough to block.
I am unfamiliar with the Linux Kernel development policy and the details of C compilers, but if this is the issue then they have a severe tooling issue. This kind of stuff should be tested against. And especially in something as crucial as the Linux kernel i'd expect more guarantees than "a bunch of experts thought it was ok"
Bingo.

I had a bit of a "what am I doing with my life" crisis a few years back when I felt addicted to working, and I made the changes to live a calmer, more enjoyable life at the expense of some income. Will I now regret not leaving more money for my daughter/wife when I go?

We're all stumbling through life to the same conclusion. No one gets to do everything they wanted to.
Great. Being a software guy in my life all these are overwhelming I think. Still very much appreciated as the author said it is sad to give this up as such a beauty.

Would the square glass on easier without the screen I wonder.
I'm not denying anything.

I'm just saying that if you were a member of a population that's being squeezed out of their land, day by day, in a country that at best, if you try to integrate, treats you like a second hand citizen, you can't say for sure what your reaction would be.

You could try to pretend it would be a peaceful reaction, but you can't say for sure. Nobody can.
On that topic, I have to agree with one of commenters that no real negotiators are happening until NATO is a party. Beyond sanction relief and agreeing to leave Ukraine neutral, NATO can dangle money to be invested in Donetsk/Luhansk for development.

Windhawk, the customization marketplace for Windows programs
Sure, a Ruble buys you fewer international goods than a dollar, but has much more buying power in Russia.

The tank factories still exist, and the workers there still have jobs and can still make tanks. As long as they still get food and raw materials more tanks will come off the line, and Russia nowadays has enough food and plenty of raw materials.

The Ruble will buy less on international markets, but it still buys stuff within Russia. There will be severe inflation, sure, but that just means people will prioritise food and other essentials. As long as there are enough of those they can still work.

Is there a name for shifting the recorded phenomena into the part of spectrum where humans can directly sense it? Or for converting signals into different medium, so that we can hear or see signals that we couldn't sense otherwise? I'd like to know the name so that I can hunt for more examples and applications.

A good example is Dwingeloo radio telescope where they convert pulsar signals into audio in realtime so that you can listen to it using headphones. Another example is playing a sound every time your runtime preforms garbage collection, to gain first-hand intuition for internal operation (like you can pick up any abnormalities in the car engine sound).
Windhawk aims to make it easier to customize Windows programs. It allows installing and configuring mods (customization modules) with just a couple of clicks. For developers, it provides a convenient platform for developing and sharing such mods. Check out the introduction blog post for more details:

yes, people think they are living healthy lifestyle for example if you eat fish thinking it's healthy but you may not know that fish has micro plastics inside it's flesh from the polluted ocean/seas that eventually goes inside human body.

Books are more abstract. The internet has video and sound and casual conversations and memes and the daily trivialities of the life of millions of ordinary people.

> might be low in cancer because of their low life expectancy

No, the cancer rates are "measured as the age-standardized percentage".

But skin color definitely plays a role, at least in skin cancer, and I don't think the figures account for it. I did not think of that, thank you!
Ask HN: How do I learn Linux now that I was able to install it?
Which poor person drives a car built in the last decade? The median car in Germany is approximately ten years old. Almost all the poor people I know ride the bus, but that's probably my city bubble. The remaining ones can't even afford that and ride a bike exclusively.

Also, renewable energy is cheap. That renewable energy is expensive is a meme that was born when the prices were ten times higher than today.
Yes and no. You have to understand the fundamental concepts of integration, differentiation, differential equations etc. and what they mean and represent.
All the time spent learning how to do symbolic integration by hand is however time that could be much better spent.

I also think you could and should start by teaching probability and statistics and using that to introduce calculus as and when it shows up naturally, rather than teaching calculus in the abstract first and then showing the applications much later.
