Good summary but I found it a bit weird how only 2 seconds were spent on the 'camera aperture' explanation - as AFAIK that's the main cause for photos of stars and lights to have 'points' - it depends on how many 'leaves' (? term) your camera/lens aperture has -> the more leaves the "more-sided" a shape the aperture makes (hexagon, octagon...) thus the more points you get when photographing lights.
The article says that such tech can automate around 90% of US trucking. You're describing the other 10%.
Nothing long term, it will most likely swing back the other way in a decade or two just like it has done for all of recorded history, oscillating back and forth like a global thermal tide.
Well, one can easily disagree with the justice of these sorts of indiscriminate collective punishments. At the end of the day you're going to have a hard time justifying to someone why they should feel morally compelled to cut off remittances to their family members because of these sort of high-level geopolitical concerns.

The more that financial repression and "cancellations" become mainstream, the more obvious crypto's use cases become - whether or not you support the individual examples of repression.
Exactly. Also there is no mention of how temperatures are distributed and how extremes occur. A +3°C increase does not merely mean a linear shift of the temperature records but also an increase in the spread of the values, often meaning making tails fat, i.e. increasing the likelihood of high temperature extremes.

Google uses ads to pay for the service, which is available without logging in. Those ad systems can track you. On the other hand, a paid service (even if it is currently in "free" mode) will likely get rid of ads, but requires some authentication to know you are you.

I'm logged into Google all the time. I do this to get sharing working across Chrome. Others doe the same with Firefox. Some don't, because privacy.

Detect it: poke a stick. It stops, at a pretty consistent depth, and not because of rock.

Remove it: overheat the planet. It will turn to mud. Anything built on it will subside or sink. Massive amounts of trapped organic matter will turn to methane.

Eventually, I presume the area would settle into a new climatic zone, with neither permafrost nor mud. Emphasis on "eventually".

I have always (except once when I worked at a web hosting company with Debian desktops for a short while) had a work-mandated Windows workstation, but my computing life is very *nix centric, so I always install VirtualBox + Vagrant and build a VM to get work done in. I rebuild it once a week to motivate me to do changes via the config.

Also, I keep my .emacs in a publicly accessible S3 bucket. The .emacs on each machine is just a stub to pull it down and evaluate it on startup.
> It is of course necessary for such to scientific, or at least scientifically studied. Repeatability, however, is not a prerequisite of existence. It is a question of how high a degree of variability exists within the flow and inter-relation and outcomes of population-wide phenomena among social species.

Except Calhoun didn't do the basic stuff to rule out the obvious non-social causes for population breakdown. He didn't take offspring from the colony and test to make sure they still could reproduce healthily in a new setting. Calhoun doesn't clearly specify all the starting conditions, but at least one run started from 4 breeding pairs which introduces the possibility of inbreeding as a close call. There are also diseases that cause sterility and odd behaviors in rats.

So basically until someone can reproduce the experiment properly, there is pretty much zero epistemic content that can be drawn from the Calhoun experiments except as a cautionary tale about taking self promoting scientists at their word rather than demanding their data as well.
Long ago a friend had an Atari 520ST computer, with a graphical interface. When it displayed an error dialog, you had to click on "Sorry" to continue. I remember being insulted but also amused by having to apologize.
Why does the author think that for the effects of high temperatures it's the annual average that matters, but for the effects of low temperatures it's the minimum? It seems intuitively obvious that the extremes matter way more for both cases. A place with a steady 30 degrees temperature across the year is just fundamentally more habitable than one with the same average coming from 60 degree peaks and 0 degree troughs.

(The obvious answer is that the inconsistency is in bad faith, to fudge the numbers into fitting the author's preferred narrative. Is there any legitimate explanation?)
You are right - The text should say all "natural sciences".
I opened a volume of the books linked in the page, and found this:

« Learning allows us to discover what kind of person we can be. Learning widens knowledge, improves intelligence and provides a sense of achievement. Therefore, learning from a book, especially one about nature, should be efficient and enjoyable. Avoid bad learning methods like the plague! Do not use a marker, a pen or a pencil to highlight or underline text on paper. It is a waste of time, provides false comfort and makes the text unreadable. And do not learn from a screen. In particular, never, ever, learn from the internet, from videos, from games or from a smartphone. Most of the internet, almost all videos and all games are poisons and drugs for the brain. Smartphones are dispensers of drugs that make people addicted and prevent learning. Nobody putting marks on paper or looking at a screen is learning efficiently or is enjoying doing so. »

Putting aside the issue of "is it still open source?", deleting files is problematic from another perspective as well: private citizens launching a cyberwar attack against a foreign power.

It seems to me that the only legal way to do this is with the approval of your government.

I have seen at least a few argue that devs should be/are allowed to act in accordance with their own values. I agree, with same caveat I would apply in any circumstance: so long as those actions are in accordance with the law.

To do otherwise in a geopolitical conflict like this is foolhardy in the extreme. The Western world is struggling very hard right now to find the right balance of actions that supports the Ukraine while punishing Russia, at the same time balancing that against the risks if escalating the conflict far beyond it's current confines.

I would be very confident in a guess that even large corporations making perfectly legal business decisions to shut operations in Russia are doing so with some coordination & communication with their governments. It is certainly not at all up to private citizens to take extralegal actions that may escalate this conflict in any way.
Ask HN: Is charging my phone to 85% saving battery life expectancy?
Since Android 12, I can charge my phone (s10e) up to 85% instead of 100%. Is there any studies on how much this is improving battery life expectancy?

I can also do this on my laptop: up to 60% or 85%. Same question.

Any studies on how much those should impact battery life?

> That good, huh? Better than Fastmail?

I suppose feature wise Fastmail is slightly better. Just that I need to pay about 8$/e-mail/month and it's free part of iCloud subscription. Plus, more convenient to manage from one place. But on the downside; it leads to single point of failure so I'm still weighing that decision.
There's some terminology confusion about internet routers. The devices that sit in a telco rack and have lots of fibers running in and out of them and decide what pipe to send your IP packets down to are the more routery kinds of routers. The wifi ap + nat box + cable modem thing you have in your house is doing mostly other things than routing and is called your CPE or Customer Premises Equipment. (Also NAT is not routing, the router requirements RFC forbids touching the address fields).

Same here for the many payment processors I’ve worked with in the past. Except for the one time the processor swore up and down that tokens were tied to a merchant when they weren’t. It took several weeks of pestering support with example curl commands to convince them to escalate to someone who knew how to run a curl command. Then the bug was fixed within an hour.

I would say it's up to you to decide what you think works best, as long as the bases only contain the code needed to expose the public API and then you divide the rest of the code into components. The good thing with Polylith is that it's easy to refactor the code by splitting up existing components. When you add new functionality, you either add to an existing component or create a new one. Polylith allows you to make the components tiny with almost no performance penalties, and that is also our experience, that components tend to be really small, or be divided into many small namespaces.

To answer your second question, I would make the same considerations as in any other architecture. If the SQL only took a user ID and didn't contain business logic from the user domain, then I would just put it in the article component, but if the SQL had to contain logic from the user domain (more than e.g. just translating user name to user ID) then I would extract that logic into the user component. Exactly how you combine this into a query is an implementation detail that can be solved in several different ways (and it often gets quite ugly!). This is how I think about it in general, but there are always situations when it's right to break "rules"!

What makes you not content at your current role? The grass is always greener on the other side, till it isn’t.
I am skeptical to say the least.

TrueTime, PTP, FB’s time card, all solve one problem that is to provide a bound where “true time” falls in. You need to be able to _guarantee_ the precision. If you say the true time lies between [T - d, T + d], it must be the case. The spanner paper provides data that the probability of TrueTime being wrong is less likely than random hardware failures (bit flip, etc.). Nothing is 100% in computer, but once you have like 20 9’s of reliability, our society has collectively accepted it as good enough (like we assume hash collision would never happen).

Now AFAIK, no machine learning model can come even close to 10 9’s of accuracy. Clock, to me, is a piece of foundational infrastructure that should provide a very solid and simple mental model so we can reason about it and build other things on top. I am skeptical that NTP + ML would work.
There were also no occurrences of the words "sun", "light", or "insolation".

The further away from the equator you go, the more your sunlight becomes a fickle seasonal creature hitting you at odd angles in varying intensity. Temperature isn't the only variable affecting the growing season and agricultural productivity.
In FrameMaker's "Book" functionality, where you can stitch together a bunch of individual chapter files into a larger document, there's a very edge-case possibility of hitting a situation where there's no solution to the pagination (say that Chapter One has a forward reference to "(See page 57.xiv)" but added text puts the tagged info on page 57.xv, so the reference gets automatically changed to "(See page 57.xv)", but that text is shorter, so there's a slim chance that the reference has to change back to 57.xiv, but that makes the text longer again, which pushes the tagged info back to page 57.xv, ad infinitum).

Clearly, though it never happens in the real world, my code had to detect if a document seemed to be looping this way, and since I never expected anyone to see it, it just issued the one-word error message "Degenerate", with the intended meaning that "this document has hit a degenerate case".

Well, of course some customer found a bug that triggered the message, and called tech support, irate that our software had called him a degenerate.
I paused my ad blocker and the ads that showed up were annoying and slowed everything down but thankfully none of them were of the type you were served. Ad networks are really weird sometimes in how they select which ads to give to which people. Maybe for you it was random.
Well, ideally people could choose to do whatever they liked to provide for society. Everyone would have a role to play. So those that like to farm (raised on a farm, to be proud of their work) would farm, those that want to commit their life to science could attempt to advance their field. Someone might find an invigorating pride in making sure wastewater treatment is running well, but they don't know how to get into the field and are stuck working a job they don't like for money, currently. Artists could create culture. As long as you are doing something to provide for society, society will provide for you.

There will be people that do not have favorite hobbies. There will be people with no ambition who benefit from being told what they can or should do to contribute. Those people, in order to have their needs met could choose to take on a Necessary Task, even if it isn't their favorite thing. Maybe they learn to love it and excel at it.

Don't want to do anything to contribute to society despite being physically and mentally able? No needs met. Meet them yourself, you magnificent lone wolf. Want your needs met but don't want to do Necessary Task that you hate? Find a purpose and pursue it.
> The nine lines contain physics, chemistry, material science, biology, medicine, geology, astronomy, engineering and computer science.

I have doubts that these 9 lines describe computer science. As I interpret it, computer science is founded on pure mathematics and is not a physical or empirical science. Computer science deals with perfect abstract mathematical objects like numbers, sets, quantification, recursion, infinities, etc.
I use 1Password, so I get touch ID-enabled logins in any browser. Works pretty well.

I'm also a Fastmail user, but I (a long time Apple product user) don't have the impression of their services being quite as solid as some of the others, so I wouldn't switch my mail over yet. Plus, Fastmail has some other features I like (easy to set up aliases, including their new "masked email" feature, which integrates with 1Password).

All of that said, I've been all-in on Apple stuff for a number of years for exactly the reason you cite. There's a lot of good stuff that works well together. Like getting a security code via SMS and having Safari (on the iPhone) offer that as an autofill option.
You can't contradict this. Nature is perfect.
Yes. I have code in space that was funded by ESA and launched on a Falcon 9. If you count the ISS then SpaceX is a launch partner and is probably our best bet in the near future for shuttling people and cargo (plus the ATV).

ESA is basically open to partnering with them, there is a statement somewhere about them looking into reusable systems. It's politically tricky because part of ESA'S remit is to contract with member states and increase capacity in Europe: you buy into ESA, ESA throws you bones in the form of tender opportunities. I believe it's also reasonably fair, so they make sure that contracts go to everyone.

That also means that most of the big ticket contracts go to companies like Airbus and Ariannespace. Airbus would lobby pretty hard if ESA started spending big money in the US. Though you can see how that worked out for Boeing. A lot of these contracts are big and multiyear, projects using specific launch partners are designed around fairing capacities and so on. We don't necessarily need roscosmos for a lot of this, plenty of launches are done using Ariane rockets from Kourou.

SpaceX isn't publicly listed so the vast majority of people here don't own any. It's not like TSLA.

Finally on monopolies - ESA already doesn't really build much itself, most of the hardware is built by private companies. NASA is the same, though they have a bit more in house capacity than ESA. Apollo and the Space Shuttle were spread out to a huge number of US contractors (people like Lockheed Martin, Rockwell and Northrop Grumman). Orion/SLS? Not built by NASA, built by boeing, rocketdyne and others.

SpaceX has had remarkable success precisely because they disrupted existing launch platforms that were failing to innovate fast enough. In a monopoly, users don't have choice which is not the case here - there's Blue Origin, ULA, Ariane, etc.
