One thing you might be coloring your perception, is the lack of visibility into other actions. Just because a person posts #blm and it’s largely a symbolic gesture and doesn’t have a big impact, doesn’t mean they didn’t take other more tangible steps - donations, calling their representatives, boycotts, etc. but you wouldn’t know about those. So every time you see the gesture you see inaction, when sometimes the gesture is just the tip of an iceberg of dedicated action.
I've seen lorikeets do this outside my home. I've also seen cockatoos do a couple of screaming barrel rolls for seemingly no reason in their fly byes. I think they just like to have a little fun. Alternatively the lorikeet was looking for something to swoop down at.
These things are discussed to death. Someone bringing it up does not add to the discussion, and it’s worthy of a downvote. I personally do not owe every person an argument, and talking about something ad nauseam is a valid conversational critique worthy of a downvote.

NZ/Aussie Pies: Yes

These are pies you normally eat by hand. Unlike UK and rest of world pies, they have a strong base and sides so you can hold them easily while eating.

But how else are you going to get evidence? Doing a paternity test is the act of gathering data which could further be used as evidence of faithfulness of your partner.

Or else it's just blind trust without any firm footing in reality.

If you can't be arsed to do the test for a ONCE or TWICE in a lifetime kind of event with long term consequences because you somehow feel hurt that your partner isn't a fool who builds his life around blind faith.. well, there's not much to be said...
It's released, it's VR-only, it's called Alyx, it's amazing, and I blew a month's disposable income on a PC to play it.

To do high-quality research you need science/statistic knowledge, and domain knowledge. No matter how good a scientist you are, data is really hard to interpret correctly without domain-knowledge

Equating gender / identity phenomena with wanting to be considered "strong and handsome" is not very... charitable.

The whole pronoun thing is massively overblown from what I've seen. Very, very, very few people are asking for unusual pronouns. Calling someone "they / their" is not hard. I live in LA and only come across someone asking once or twice. It's not a big deal.

For what it is worth, I sort of agree with you on the unusual pronouns. I'm not sure what I would do if someone asked me to call them some pronoun I've never heard of. I'm usually pretty agreeable, so I would try to be polite. But it would probably weird me out a bit. However, I don't even know if I will ever face this scenario. I'm not too worried about it :)
The lack of an intervalometer in ANY camera today is an insufferable insult.

Not to mention that the assertion in the title of this post is wrong, at least in the USA. We have a federal law called the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act that makes it illegal to void the warranty of a product simply because the user modified it.

Canon cameras have enjoyed some fairly active open-source/hacker support. Check out Magic Lantern and CHDK (I can't tell if that one's still maintained).
Probably depends on the franchise. I know the one I worked for in high school seemed unusually obsessed with the notion that a secret shopper from corporate would catch us on a bad day and they never went into what the consequences of such a thing were.

As some franchises also involve loans, if they don't like how you're running your store they can call in your loans. I'm not saying you have to close, but unless you know where a sunken treasure is, good luck avoiding bankruptcy.

I think I’ll probably let this one get tested in humans first… then be on the market for around 5 years minimum, before I even remotely consider it.
LWN.net is absolutely amazing and well worth every cent.

Just to pick one thing, their kernel index has been so useful when I run into an area of the kernel I need to learn about: https://lwn.net/Kernel/Index/
The main influence so far has been enabling smaller window sizes for gtk+3/libhandy apps, which is good for all users especially those on older, lower-res hardware. Hopefully libadwaita can get forked into something like a libhandy equivalent for gtk+4, that otherwise preserves sane defaults doesn't enforce their silly "flat" theme choices.
There’s nothing stopping the feds from double crossing you though. You could be the leader of a sovereign country and they will literally invade your country just to arrest you. That’s how they did Noriega.
Many years ago, I did all of this with an LDAP system. Public keys were generated by the user and entered into LDAP (or you could auto-generate keys, etc). Users were authenticated with their ssh key (stored in ldap, password based access was restricted). Authorization for access to each host was also in LDAP, as was sudoer status (as a group setting).

It was actually quite an elegant setup. You would still need to setup a CA for generating local certificates for TLS connections to LDAPS, but the auth was handled all in the LDAP server.

I think the main downside would be trying to have the authentication overhead on a single server (the ldap server) when you are dealing with many hosts. Over a handful of systems, it’s great. But it doesn’t scale when you’re taking thousands of hosts (or cloud vms that spin up/down).

Is there a (mathematical if possible) way, using FSMs, to demonstrate if a specific case or behavior can or can't be implemented.
Same could be same about good software design (as in programming), but we've found to design well written software before in a open source manner, I'm sure we could (if we focus on it) figure out something for UI/UX design as well that works in a open source context.

For example, style guides written and enforced by a small team can allow open contributions for the UI design.

I think it's mostly that not many have tried to figure out how to organize and actually run large-scale open source design work for UI/UX and that's why we haven't figured it out, I don't think it's "inherently" impossible.
My wife and I were just talking about this yesterday. She is an extremely specialized surgeon and she is horrified by the academic publishing in her area of expertise. It is often utterly wrong and conflicts directly with her experience. I'm not sure she'd agree with the reasons mentioned in this article here as the main issue - although we have personally seen less ethically motivated doctors publishing research to help line their pockets via the industry. In her opinion the main issue is that academic doctors HAVE to publish in order to advance their careers. So you end up with a never ending stream of terrible research, churned out by doctors that are not experts in doing research and that actually spend most of their time doing other things. This happens even at the best centers; at least in her area of expertise. I don't know what the solution is, but I do know that whenever she has needed treatment for herself she generally ignores most of the research and talks to the most experienced surgeon she can find.
We actually get that behavior a lot with parrots. Galahs mostly, but also Corellas and Cockatoos. It is most common to see Galahs hand upside down when there is a light rain, with their wings open and giving their armpits a wash. But not always. Once we caught a Cockatoo spinning three or four times around on a wire like some sort of trapeze artist while another pair looked on, including at one point holding on with a single foot. There seemed to be no reason apart from showing off. I believe that the main reason people think that swans occasionally fly upside down is also just to show off, for shits and giggles.

Thanks a lot! We are in closed beta mode right now. Yes you are on point here. As premium surveillance feature will add this to the cost per m2 / mile road, the monthly price will depend on the number of pictures for our customer and it will cost extra for e.g. hyperspectral satellite images. For per-request quotes we are trying to find a suitable way to make it work so we can cover the cost. All thoughts / inputs appreciated :)

Yeah, this is the really hard part about medical research. At the individual level for those who are really qualified to do it, the incentives lean in favor of practice, where your comp is 4x-10x higher
I didn't know The Onion published studies.
I'll take the bait. Ravens' beaks are hooked s.t. the top curves slightly around the bottom, an over beak if you will. The crow's beak is roughly conical and does not hook in this manner.

Additionally the raven's beak is is longer than it's head is wide (in profile). A crow's beak from the same view is approximately the same length as it's head.
It’s going to be a bloody mess for a long time, because the choices for how to handle resolution independence are all inherently filled with compromise.

With font rendering, I think there is hope. Horizontal subpixel positioning with vertical hinting seems like a good tradeoff to me. Grid fitting vertically is not too jarring, and grid fitting horizontally to subpixels instead of pixels looks pretty good too, on low resolution displays.

But it really is a son of a bitch elsewhere. For example, if you want a crisp 1px border on 96 dpi, you could specify it to be a 1px border at 96 dpi… but then what happens at 1.5x or 1.75x scale? From a purely logical position, the blurry line is actually the general case, and the integer scale case is actually an edge case. That desktop UIs aren’t blurry basically always is because we define them in terms of 96 DPI displays.

It gets worse for APIs, because APIs that want to present a resolution-independent world will cause difficult to tolerate bugs. The VS Code terminal will often be blurry at non-integer scales because it is using HTML canvas. If the canvas width or height is not a multiple of the size of a CSS pixel, it will cause the internal buffer to be scaled horridly. The fix might be a new API that reveals true coordinates… very, very nasty.

Apple’s solution was extreme: dump all font hacks, always render apps at 2x, then scale the whole framebuffer for different scale factors. It’s somewhat blurry, but avoids many ugly pitfalls in the common case, and makes apps simpler.

Unfortunately, the rest of the world is just stuck with really bad scaling and more often blurring on 96 DPI displays, the worst of both worlds.
I would love to see a new era of affordable mid sized cities with quality public transportation.

Chicago might just be my favorite city, it was so cheap compared to LA , the people ( including my first real girlfriend!) are nicer, and the public transportation is top notch.

I really really hate driving. Many cities are the worst of both worlds,congested, mean places, where you need to own a car.

I imagine a perfect suburb, small enough to be serviced by a few light rail trains， where you can have a big house without a car. Maybe this already exists, but somewhere in Europe
Thanks a lot! So do we :)
Thanks a lot for that! :)
But there's cost of shipping and maintenance of the warehouse, alongside with the product loss/tampering. None of these are revenue generating.

What's the basis for those statements? Especially the "five cups a day" one. The article says otherwise, which is one of the interesting things about it.

> Importantly, consuming any amount of coffee was not associated with a higher risk of heart rhythm problems, including atrial fibrillation (AFib) or atrial flutter, which Kistler said is often what clinicians are concerned about.

I'm also looking at the Wikipedia article on the health effects of coffee, and it seems like 4 cups a day is sort of the sweet spot for a lot of positive effects, but I don't see anything about more than that being bad in most cases.

> A 2012 meta-analysis concluded that people who drank moderate amounts of coffee had a lower rate of heart failure, with the biggest effect found for those who drank more than four cups a day.

Five cup a day drinker over here, so I'd love to know if you have conflicting sources.
19 Things to Know Before Moving to Florida – Living in Florida
I guess everyone need to get his fix somehow. Some people play the Piano, some use drugs; and some devote themselves to a religion. The difference between the drug cartels and the religious priests is just the clothes. Both can also be very violent.
Thanks for pulling this quote, it’s very compelling and certainly pulled me into the work.
The vast majority of jobs cannot be done remotely. The HN crowd is heavily skewed toward programming / engineering jobs that can sometimes be done remotely. But overall, most jobs do require a physical presence.

Think "people care" (and all the ramifications or that: babies, children, sick, elders + everything around that). All people working in stores (unless we exclusively want online shops). Transportation of goods. Building, sanitation, construction. Any job that requires specialised equipment (like factories), ... .

The whole idea that we can transition to a society where people don't have to move to get to work is an illusion. COVID gave us a false glimpse because most activities were closed or significantly reduced, so it felt like people didn't need to get to work anymore but that's just because they simply did not work. And it was not sustainable on the long run. We made the - right IMHO - choice to subsidise their income, wether directly via stimulas checks, or indirectly by helping their employers, but all that was based on the bet/assumption that we would be able to resume "normal society" and we would be able repay the debt we incurred over the next years.
I answer that question in my free 5-day email course.
> I'm perplexed at this statement, and the rest of your post in general. How is that "inefficient"? What else can the thread do if it needs to process data that hasn't arrived yet?

Some other task, such as processing data from a different socket that has arrived now. A library monopolising a thread for this one operation is like those DOS-era applications that expected to monopolise the whole CPU for their application - sure, it's "simpler", but it's vastly less efficient.

> areas that need it

The premise of capitalism is that enterprising individuals and institutions will respond to the monetary incentive created by these needs.

Could it be that what is unprofitable to treat is maybe not that big of an actual need? Can I argue that I'm happy that there has been no research on feline urinary tract disease as long as human cancer isn't solved yet?
To ease the burden of handling bug reports by removing themes altogether at a platform level, seems like a bullet-also-kills-cancer solution.
Reasonable people can revise their prior conclusions based on new evidence. For example until recently I was in the crowd of people who thought - why do we need such massive military spending when we could do so much more with that money?!

Well, I am kind of thinking now that we may need to keep the military spending as it is after all.
It can't be solved in software, due to the Nyquist limit: Sharp high-contrast edges (text) necessarily have high frequencies, and you need a high sampling rate (pixel density) to produce a good approximation of that signal. People have spent a lot of effort to push anti-aliasing techniques as far as they can go, but displays with higher pixel density are just better for displaying text.

I agree that if you are making something and your target audience will be using non-HiDPI displays, then you should actually design your thing on those displays too. But no matter how good your software is, pixel density places a limit on what you can achieve.
Omicron is trouncing the argument for “natural immunity” to Covid
I described it immediately after the quoted sentence.

Only meant as an example. I think it's situation dependent.

If you have recently been hospitalized, and started new medication, that is an opportunity to separate your future from your past. Otherwise, whatever has changed for you, but demonstrated in actions and hard facts.

The truth works. Whatever convinces you will convince others. It just has to be phrased carefully, without sharing any information or connotations that are unnecessary.

If what you're doing isn't working, don't keep doing it, but set your sights lower. Temp agencies have saved me more than once in the past.
I think it is more likely that some types of industry would become non-viable in really high property value areas (of course this is already the case). This might reduce demand for housing in an area (who's going to live in a town without a decent coffee shop?), so I guess some equilibrium would eventually be established.
USB-o will be an improvement... the ROUND USB Connector....
Are we still talking about BLM? Because I regret to inform you it has already gone away. The city where I lived published their provisional crimes stats for 2021 and it looks like murder rates have gone up. Most of that is gang related and black on black. Not only has the city not “defunded” the police department they’re looking to purchase what can only be described as a tank from a Homeland Security grant. There are good people working at the grassroots in the African-American community but they were there before the “awareness” and they will keep toiling after it.

It’s legitimate to ask what did all the Internet angst add to the solution? The answer it would seem is very little. I do hope it is different for Ukraine but I’m not holding my breath.
What are some of these inconsistent beliefs?
Sounds like you're angry at a few very specific people in your company.
Well you don't have to live in the country for them to decide you owe them money in other ways too. Both the "loan" and any other taxes or sanctions are only enforceable to the extent that you have assets in the UK.
Ruling out possibilities is important, yes, when you have no idea what it is, you start by ruling out possibilities until one is left... When you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.

When you already know what it is, however, why go through all the motions of ruling out what it's not? To pay for the X-ray machine, that's why.
No, there are people who put more effort toward the wrong things, and that's why they didn't find the same success. The best songwriter in the world could be incredibly unsuccessful if they don't have any concept of how to market themselves properly, so sitting in their studio practicing guitar all day is technically effort, but it isn't doing anything to progress their career. That's exactly why most musicians fail. They don't bother googling "how to be a band" or learning any of the necessary skills to be successful independently, and instead spend all of their time hoping that someone will "discover" them.

I've quite literally never once seen a musician expend effort toward learning marketing and business without finding success.
Resisting the urge to quote Austin Powers…
The problem with this sort of balancing act is that most zoning isn't centrally planned enough that you can actually balance this. Most of the time you are planning one small section of a larger urban/suburban complex, not the entire country. So you have to consider inflows and outflows of both commercial and residential demand.

If more people want to live in your city than you currently have housing for, then it's not simply a matter of "balancing zones" anymore. Your plans no longer match reality, and one of four things can happen:

- Your zoning remains static and housing prices rise according to demand, pricing people out of the market

- You hope businesses leave so that you can convert some of the commercial space to residential

- You decide to allocate existing zones on some criteria other than willing price paid

- You zone for higher density and allow existing homeowners to make money by making room

The first option is gentrification. The do-nothing option. The one that we're trying to avoid because we find it distasteful. If we don't fit more people in the city then it becomes a playground for bored rich people as the market will kick everyone else out.

The second option usually doesn't happen - residential demand drives commercial demand because most businesses want to be close to people. If businesses are leaving, that usually means that people are leaving, too. This also means that balancing zones isn't really a thing you need to actually do. The problem isn't that the space is being used inefficiently; the problem is that there isn't enough space to go around.

The third option is rationing. This takes many forms, and is politically popular with basically everyone. But it doesn't actually solve the problem: there are still more people who want to live in your city than houses to put them in. You're just choosing a different way to allocate those houses, and invariably it tends to be a metric that's easier to corrupt, because suppliers now have an incentive to charge rich people more to bypass the system.

The fourth option will actually fix the problem; and in fact is the only way to fix the problem. But it's also the easiest to politically oppose, because we've set the standard here in America that land is supposed to be divided entirely between large shopping centers and low-density suburbs; and that living in anything else is a symbol of urban poverty. This actually isn't true anymore - the areas worst hit by gentrification are also the ones zoned for high density or mixed use, and this is precisely because of people making it difficult to upzone property.

If we didn't have zoning, or at least had less of it[0], then the market could actually work to incentivize resupply rather than just redevelopment. Then we could talk about social housing or housing subsidies on the demand end, knowing that we have a market that actually responds to supply rather than just pocketing the wealth.

[0] e.g. Tie the planners' hands a bit and just have mixed commercial/residential zones of varying densities, with industrial land use separated out for safety/noise reasons. Japan does this.
