Huh, quoting:

> While they're easily cultivated from seed and grown in nurseries both in the United States and in Asia, the large, old, wild-harvested Dudleya are considered luxury items by collectors overseas and command high prices, sources said. Imperfections inflicted by the elements are a plus.

A lot of the Dudleya on Etsy sure do look irregular in a way that suggests wild collection. A few sellers claim explicitly that theirs are greenhouse-grown, and indeed have nice perfect rosettes. Most sellers are silent on the provenance of their plants.

I guess the issue hasn't gotten enough attention for markets in wealthy countries to make rules. Some basic paperwork (e.g., "seller must provide address of grower, and grower must permit audit") wouldn't eliminate demand for poached plants, but would probably decrease it by a lot.

If customers still want the irregular branched look, then that could be achieved deliberately in the greenhouse, with pruning and maybe PGRs (plant hormones). Probably at least five years from propagation to sale, though. Tissue culture lets the grower convert a single plant into an almost unlimited number of individuals very quickly, but each individual still grows at a normal rate thereafter.

I have a generally-applicable approach, i.e., a coin with any number of sides and any probabilities. Here we go, in the spirit of brute force:

0. Train your wrist, 'cause you'll be flipping this a gazillion times (say just N times)

1. Enumerate all possibilities, i.e., sample space = {H, T}^N

2. Compute the probabilities of each.

3. Partition the sample space into two such that the total probability (sum of probabilities) is equal to 0.5.

4. Call one element of the partition heads and the other tails.

5. Want a "multi-sided-coin"? Go back to step 3 and create a finer partition.

Well, it might explain why there's a fundamental speed limit of c in the universe that we know. It's just MAX_INT...

Then there's the whole quantum nature of reality - well ok, so SIZE_MIN is a building block 1 fermi-length in dimension.

And the whole wave/particle duality of light, and the energy equivalence of mass...

Actually, if you think about it, if we are a simulation, then we're not even a very good one - all the above corner-cutting smacks more of a high-school science-fair project than the ultimate simulation in a government lab. We're the "good enough to get the grade" simulation :)

Let's hope...

o The time-scale for whatever higher-dimension has sufficient energy to devote to simulating our reality is so far in advance of ours, that the science-fair isn't going to end soon.

o We're not the "teaching simulation" where wildcards like electing Trump as a president of the most powerful nation on "Earth" are thrown in to see how the simulation copes. Or, you know, global thermonuclear war...

Ah, it's probably fine. We're probably not a simulation, and it definitely won't end right no

I'm glad to see someone else thinking about this and probably thinking deeper about it than I did.

About 8 years ago I put some hours into the idea of responsibly sourced (genetic diversity was a secondary priority since I was focusing on the hobbyist grower rather than farming, the plan was very much to use clones but also create new seeds from time to time if possible) exotic/ornamental/carnivorous plants with the idea of it being a long term side business.

Probably more of an excuse to play with automated horticulture than it was a way to solve a global problem.

I hope someone attacks it at scale though, I would love to see that.

The way I heard the story—and that story is almost certainly fictional—preference from DST comes from legislators—at a time when they were all upper-middle to upper class white men—that only knew cushy 9-17 jobs and valued their own ability to go home and have a barbecue over everybody else’s ability to wake up with the sun. I bet HN’s demographic aligns pretty overwhelmingly with the preference for an after work barbecue.

> The goal here is to scale things to what is needed and in a way that is feasible

I beg to differ. As far as I know we scale up things in order to benefit from economies of scale. And we do so because the 'technical system' underlying our civilization leads us to always want 'more'. J. Ellul, among others, wrote about this.

> i doubt solar panels would've been feasible as a scaling method for energy during that time, much less electric cars, or even less likely, farming strategies and equipment that are ecologically less 'problematic'.

Indeed.

Note: some of those ways (solar panel/electric cars/farming strategies/...) have flaws (bad side-effects), some of them catastrophic, we aren't aware of, but will discover (just as all fossil fuels, which enabled the Industrial Revolution, do have catastrophic side-effects.

> not only that but the destructive nature of it was also wonderful to society overall, our living standards skyrocketed to an unfathomable degree during said revolution.

Claiming that those effects were beneficial is acceptable. However it IMHO doesn't balance the bad side-effects (current climatic challenge). Saving (or enhancing the life) of some doesn't justify creating a major risk for others (later).

> talking about the ecological destruction -while an important aspect- is irrelevant to the argument of scale to meet people wants and needs.

The case may be about obtaining anything (even a population) 'big' without economies of scale (or, to put it bluntly, without a technical system), I doubt so, and our ability when it comes to detect bad future side-effects of selected solutions (IMHO this ability is near zero). That's the reason why I think that what works for humans (and maybe for each and every complex life form) is a society built upon small groups, and more generically that everything that (in our society) works for long and without any major blunder is done by and for such groups. In more than a way L. Kohr showed it.

> Think about it this way, would you be talking about the ecological destruction in an 1800s meeting to scale up farming and husbandry efforts to meet the demands of that time?

I would, indeed.

> If the answer is yes, then would you be willing to delay/postpone the efforts until there are better technologies that are more ecologically friendly to exist and then accept/allow these efforts?

At the time: no, however knowing what I know now I would plead for a very (VERY!) progressive (time and space) implementation (precautionary approach).

> If the answer is no, then it is , like i said, irrelevant.

I understand your point, mine sits on the "let's avoid committing the same error twice" principle.

Funny enough, for jobs that do schedule around sunrise/sunset (like flying), DST is even more disruptive. Perhaps you used to get a sandwich after your day flight but when DST starts, everything suddenly closes an hour earlier!
> Given the proximity to San Francisco, the real estate prices have skyrocketed. Almost all my blue collar friends have had to move. It is sad that we have become a neighborhood for tourists and wealthy tech owner second homes. But, the character of the town remains, which is a nice silver lining.

> Forcing a town of <1,000 people to infill with huge apartment buildings doesn't fundamentally alter the overall housing problem, but it does impact the people that live and work in the community.

I'm not sure what does alter the housing problem if not housing. It seems your position is "don't come here...unless you're rich" because the rich don't affect the "character" of the town.

You don't want lots of people. But your only option is to make it hard for people to move in, which constrains the supply of housing relative to demand. Which, in turn, makes prices go up. Which, in turn, forces out your blue collar resident friends. You can't have it both ways.

What you're doing with one unit honestly doesn't make much of a dent in any problem unless you're adding an order of magnitude more units. If anything, you're locking in that space to higher-but-still-very-low density. It's much easier to bulldoze a mansion than evict multiple families.

> If permanent DST really results in the entire country turning into sleep deprived zombies having spontaneous heart attacks as they arrive at work and crashing into children going to school, then there'll be pressure to change it -- but we will have at least already started the process of eliminating the worse thing: changing twice a year.

What I don't get is why it's so hard for people to just say "ugh, 5pm is already dark so we should start an hour earlier and go home at 4pm" or whatever.

I bet it's those smug morning peoples' fault.
Oh man - this was my position as well for a long time.

And then I realized that you can’t even count on “high noon” meaning much at all, DST or not, because using solar noon is basically the same thing as having arbitrarily many timezones for each unique longitudinal point on Earth.

Personally I got tired of it. Almost everyone is of the same leftist, punk, ecological mindset. If you're into diverse groups, Gemini isn't the place. I don't feel like I'm learning anything new from Gemini beyond the first few weeks of spending time there. Maybe if you don't have many leftist friends you'll find it more novel, but I found it full of the same talking points and little else.

I also find the place way too judgemental. The community loves to hate on anyone that doesn't share their aesthetic.

It’s not a satisfying answer, but the truth is that there just isn’t that much Go code out there suffering from a lack of the kind of basic generics being introduced. It exists, but it’s not the norm.

Instead, what is likely to happen is, a lot of problems that generics can be applied to, they more often will be, simply because the option is on the table, regardless of whether it really improves anything. Go taught me to stop worrying and trust the For loop, and now we’re probably going to have dozens of utility libraries with Map and Reduce routines that people will use for extremely simple loops that don’t need them, probably resulting in slower code that takes longer to compile that needs a slower and more complicated optimizer to make up for it. In my opinion, the antithesis of what makes Go great.

Not saying generics is all bad, or that reduce is bad, or anything like that. But once a programming language has a new way to do something, you can be damn well sure people will use it, often even to their own disadvantage. Go doesn’t have pattern matching control flow, so the best degree of soundness you can pull out of an Optional type is ugly visitor-pattern type interaction. And yet, I’m worried routines will superfluously return Optional types anyways, just because you can, even though it’s not really any better than just returning a type and a boolean.

And yes. Actual code that actually needs generics for real will benefit, undeniably. Data structure and generic algorithm implementations will benefit greatly. The ugly sort package can finally be cleaned up. That’s great. But, most Go programs simply aren’t suffering from a lack of basic generics. Operative words: most, and basic generics. Many programs simply don’t need any data structures other than a basic growable vector type and a basic hashtable, and Go has both and they are built-in and work generically. Yet the more complex problems that C++ templates and Rust generics solve will probably not be aided at all by Go generics, which are simply much more limited in scope.

And despite that, this is quite an increase in compiler complexity. I know many are thinking “how hard could it be? Tons of languages do it today”—but Go isn’t really like all of the other languages. The simpler compiler is a huge benefit to the compiler and the whole ecosystem. Arguably, Go’s simplicity enabled them to experiment with things that wouldn’t be very easy to do in other languages, with regards to its GC and threading model. They’ve got it figured out of course, but it really isn’t a simple walk in the park. Any single aspect has a lot going on:

https://github.com/golang/proposal/blob/master/design/generi...

My hope is that the relatively mature ecosystem of Go will somewhat encourage people to keep their code simple and use generics sparingly, but with such a major shift in the language it’s hard to imagine what is “idiomatic” won’t change over time. I feel Go’s brutalist simplicity is its strong point and that it will just be an inferior option if you try to write code in it like C++ or Rust.

Of course… we’ll see.
The main reason people live there is to feel remote and rural. It is a way of life.

Point Reyes and surroundings have been a popular tourism destination for decades, though. A large chunk of the people living there would not live there if it wasn't that - they benefit from it and from the proximity to a large urban center. Representing it as some sort of remote rural backwater doesn't quite capture the nature of the place.
p is a probability in range [0, 1]. So if p = 1/128, the expansion is 0.0000001.

In this case the algorithm says you return tails unless you flip 7 heads in a row (which happens with probability 1/128).
I find using marks along with the associated jumplist (ctrl-o and ctrl-i) and changelist (g; and g.) commands very useful.
Exceptions can still be treated as syntactic sugar for EaV; it just means that every expression has an implicit unwrap-and-propagate.

How do you create an "efficient" and "effective" solution if you're not aware of as many options as possible, i.e. fuzzing for security vulns?

How is your solution "effective" if I can throw a bunch of Unicode at an input field and crash your application because the "engineer" didn't know what fuzzing is?

Demonstrably false. Prior to the M3 release, someone with an MS discovered its existence in the firmware.

Tesla disabled his ethernet port in the vehicle, automatically downgraded the firmware to another version which didn't have references, and then blocked the car from getting future upgrades.

-User mode updates- may not be automatic - that does nothing to prove that Tesla cannot update a vehicle without interaction.
You don't mention a spouse, so I assume there isn't one.

It looks like you're spending roughly $800 a month on 'shopping' and 'credit'. or almost 10% of your income continually every month on those two items.

Many of us do that in an attempt to 'live a lifestyle' or 'conform to an image'. 'Image' and 5 bucks buys you a cup of coffee. Ever notice how rich people often look like they don't even have two cents to rub together?

You don't have to do it forever and a day, but stop completely any non-essential (and I mean non-essential) spending until you knock that credit card debt off your list of expenses. Eating out is one of the worst non-essential spending drains.

If you have to use a credit card for some reason, maintain a credit balance on the credit card so that the banks don't get to charge you that exorbitant interest. They hate that, but hey, it's your money not theirs.
