IMO, as an armchair opinion, the LEED certification craze is much of the issue. * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LEED

There's an almost blind focus on one dimension of a multi-dimensional problem. Yes, buildings should be designed to be more energy and environmentally efficient; where it makes sense. However there are many assumptions in 'building code' that evolved around implicit properties in the materials and methods used in the past.

A more comprehensive evaluation would consider numerous factors and choose trade-offs.

What is the (exterior) difference in impact between using different quantities and combinations of building materials? How do those materials need to be maintained or replaced over the life of the building? Over it's demolition? Can they be recycled or otherwise recovered?

How do the used materials and shapes effect the operational energy for the intended use of the building (over the intended, and likely, lifetimes)?

It looks like a 2014 update to LEED finally 'considers indoor environmental quality'. "... the IEQ category addresses thermal, visual, and acoustic comfort as well as indoor air quality."

However my opinion is that they've put the cart before the horse. Surely you've seen office environments where someone doesn't like 'how cold' the building is; so they use a personal heater to blow directly on themselves. Or utilize an air filtration system for one room because it's impossible to clean the ventilation ducts. It also fails to consider containment of emissions from chemical / cleaning or other smelly areas.

The acoustic angle is also critically important for apartments and condos. One of _the_ major reasons I and many others have grown to hate living in them revolves around __noise__. There are many memes about marching bands and various other sadistic neighbors on any adjacent side, particularly upstairs.

If you want people to _want_ to move to apartments and condos, then they need to be built so they're desirable. That includes 'cave of solitude' level of audio isolation. Fresh air that doesn't have the cooking or laundry smells; or worse the trash chute leaking out because someone didn't setup the pressure system correctly. It also includes no more free-for-all parking and enough spaces for the cars people will bring with them from the suburbs. (Which might be as many as 2 per adult on average!) The car angle might be solved at the same time as municipal parking, if a big enough, and well secured enough, lot exists as an IO/interface with the surrounding areas. That level of thinking combined with people-mover sidewalks along pedestrian arterials will help us move towards 'Cave of Steel' like cities.
Honestly for office worker/programming/professional use, high refresh rate doesn't make much difference. It's neat that windows are more legible while dragging or curse movement looks smoother, but I wouldn't buy high refresh rate if I wasn't also a gamer
It's been two years, what is their progress? It has probably failed to be exploitable then ?

I would take a moment to pause and consider the TLD if you're concerned with authorities taking over your domain. Various TLD (.com,.io,.pizza) have different polices regarding termination as well as different legal basis whether or not seizure can be exacted in a given jurisdiction.

I presume all this is for a legitimate business and thus any operator will do.

However, if you get a domain within the top 4-5 TLD (the original TLD of .COM,.NET,.ORG,.EDU,.INT/.MIL/.GOV), all of these domains are ultimately belonging to US incorporated entities or governmental organizations and not any UN operated office thus is not party to the UN charter and the legal avenues afforted to it.

Operationally there is .onion that is non-organizational for the TOR network as well as .I2P for Freenet.

So it may do you well that you get both .de and .com as well as any other .tld you are willing to spend and protect for your brand name as that's what alot of scammers/spammers and marketers will try to redirect traffic into due to mistyped characters. Also for legal/public campaigns that may be counter to your business direction or your client's.

One last thing: There is the whole DNS server aspect of a machine sending out answers to your infrastructure. The domain usually has a locking mechanism that procedually protects the domain from being transferred to another provider at whim. I would spring for the anonymization to prevent social engineering attempts as well as extend your DNS records into DNSSEC to ensure to the world that every answer or call back to your DNS records are flat factual answers that are cryptographically sound. DNS is one of the few things that helps control the chaos doesn't overrun the network.

And be sure to pay your bill on a multiyear basis with reminders at the CTO/CFO level - there is usually a 30-60 day soft hold after the domain expires but it's a regular occurrence with every corporation as to whether or not they catch domains that are important to their image or brand vs. ones simply forgotten and become swiped up for ransom or other possibly unwholesome pursuit.

The only one that I can think off the top of my head is Solidworks which is only on Windows (unsure about Linux, but I’m leaning towards it not being available on Linux)
Not at all. I have experienced co-workers getting upset over things like that. Leading to heated arguments and bad feelings. My point is that what you happens to think is offensive and what isn’t does not match what others find offensive. So trying to ban everything that might offend somebody somewhere will lead to everything being banned. It won’t just be your particular pet ban list.

I don't think you're getting UV10 so much, but there is real risk in the production of other chemicals, which this study is really ignoring. Improving exterior airflow and particle filtration is a much safer option.

Was there ever a public square on the internet to host long form video content?
The problem with modern, native-looking UI surfaces is that they are hard to design and maintain on cross-platform applications.

How do you design and implement an interface that feels native across platforms?

First there is the easy approach: The common denominator elements. Essentially what you get when creating a Java Application. The UI will probably look kind of native, but also outdated. Think Windows 89-Style Settings. You're also limited in how you can present options because you have so few form elements to play with.

The other approach to native is to use modern UI elements. For one thing these are not easy to get. While on macOS Cocoa bindings are at least available, on Windows it is pretty much impossible to get anything but the Windows-89 style form elements. Even if all the bindings were available, which also has to take various Linux Desktop Environments into account, then you had to design for and maintain multiple versions of the same settings menu.

So I hope this explains why non-native controls are a sensible approach. You create your own design system that is (mostly) consistent across platforms. Designers only have to design one surface, they can create new patterns if necessary and engineers only have to maintain one implementation. Of course they have to be accessible and they are. I say "mostly consistent" by the way, because Firefox still respects some UI conventions from operating systems. For example it uses system fonts, system font-scales, and changes naming conventions and button orders appropriately.

This reduces work but of course it still is work to update and maintain that surface. about:preferences in Firefox has quite become quite messy over the years and is neither loved by designers nor engineers, but it's time and resource intensive to update it.
I'm pretty sure the carriers want both ARPU and profits to increase.
This will probably get me canceled, but some of the most clear racism i've experienced was people from atlanta going off with a whole bunch of anti semitic stuff, I deleted my app that day and dont miss that.
I'm guessing you've been fortunate enough to have never used Catia. I used to think FreeCAD was super meh because I was extremely familiar with Solidworks (I've used Inventor, NX, and Creo as well professionally). I learned and use Catia recently and finally understand why FreeCAD is made the way it is.
Do you really believe that the judges and prosecutors who send kids to these abuse factories don't now they are going to harm the child? That's why they do this, they like to hurt/intimidate/damage people, that's literally all their jobs do all day long. Why would they go along with prosecuting people who were performing the abuse they wanted done? I'm sorry but these places have been out in the open since they first started, kids have been telling similar stories to this from the beginning. No way the people doing this don't know exactly what's going on and actively want it to happen to the kids they send there.

The Solana step-by-step guide (including programs, dapps and Rust)
Hi guys this is a guide that took me a couple weeks to write. A lot of learnings. Ideal for people that are starting with Solana or blockchain development. You'll learn a ton. If you like it, make sure to clap it 50 times.
Five days for a first class letter is pretty pathetic, really.

How the mighty have fallen. What happened that caused Congress to suddenly support the post office this year after decades of abuse?
I can point to three separate 1919 USSC court cases alone that blow a giant hole in your theory. What YOU think is free speech in this country didn't actually even begin to exist until 1969.

It's a fun delineation. In 1968, the banning of draft card burning was ruled to not be a denial of speech rights. In 1969, black armbands were allowed as political speech for the first time and the KKK was allowed to preach in favor of violence as long as they didn't specifically mention when or where the violence was gonna happen.

The modern interpretation of what constitutes free speech in this country is less than 60 years old. We're less than 80 years from another case where they ruled that kids had no choice but to recite the pledge of allegiance.

Just because you have this pipe dream of the US being founded by some infallible saints doesn't mean they weren't a bunch of selfish pricks who were interested in protecting their own interests.
LLPSI Pars I, Familia Romana

LLPSI Pars II, Roma Aeterna

These are the two main books. Each has companion books such as exercise books and teachers' guides. After these two, you should be able to read Caesar's Commentarii de Bello Gallico, but Ørberg also has other books.

As for whether the workbooks are worth it, I never used them, but then again I only read the main book for leisure, not in an academic setting or for serious study. If you're in the latter, then I'm sure the workbooks would help.
Ask HN: How do you handle stale data when using React and REST APIs
If you have a component that displays some data fetched from a REST API and another component that modifies that data on the backend using a post request how do you keep the first components state fresh? The Apollo client for graphql seems to have some nice functionality to facilitate this but I can't think up a good solution while using REST.
Thanks!
I don't know about watches, but Porsche does make a Corolla competitor; the VW Golf. I'm sure the analogy isn't perfect, but obviously large manufacturers want to compete across market segments which is why the same company makes Audis and Bugattis as well.

Also, as someone who's not that into watches - the Neptune and Mercury Swatches are gorgeous.
I mean, if you're looking for performance from the computer, I'd suggest c or rust.

If you are looking for performance from the developer, php or ruby on rails is what I'd suggest.
I don't believe there was any way to move the tabs into the title bar and to combine all the file/edit/etc into a single button in the same vertical space as the URL bar. Those are the two changes that make the modern interface so much more compact. Maybe it could've been done with extensions.

The argument is similar to that with any major UI change - I have one coworker who still complains about the Microsoft Office Ribbon UI. For casual and newer users, the old office UI was tedious and cumbersome hunt down whatever you want from the dozens of icons and buttons. The newer layout may require several clicks for power users to do something they used to do in one. I found it mildly annoying when it first changed, but I committed to it and now I find it much more usable. Same situation with Firefox.
You just described the entire pantheon of modern development tools.
Interesting that this post is now flagged, or "disappeared" from HN. Shame, as the conversation around it is enlightening. Just wondering, do people think it's OK to curtail reasoned discussion around a topic prompted by a post of this nature?
Whatever nice-sounding things the little kids are told, the police, "justice" system, etc. are actually more interested in enforcing the existing social order than they are in being the good guys, or the letter or spirit of the law.

And such "schools" are certainly all about enforcing the existing social order, upon "residents" who the Cops & Co. are not favorably inclined toward.
"their services are spotty at best compared to other providers"

How so?

AIUI the only time Mint customers would have worse service than T-Mobile customers is if there's network congestion. e.g. at a crowded sporting event.
It doesn’t matter how you feel, Terms of Service are nothing to respect and local law should be updated to override specific clauses that enable opaque deplatforming.

The coins in John Wick.

I was wondering about that just yesterday. "What are the value of those coins?" I thought. There seems to be a mint (episode 3), and the guy who runs the whole thing (the central bank) seems to live out in the desert.

Who sets the value? Can anything be money? (let's forget about the intrinsic value of the gold itself for a moment.).

It seems that these coins are used within the community of the criminals themselves and the bank sets their value. It also seems that the community can pay for things with fiat currency or these coins. And it seems that one can exchange these coins for fiat currency too.

The John Wick universe is an interesting example to see the practical use of another currency in everyday use embedded in a world of fiat currency.

But what really got me thinking (I know, late to the party)... money can be anything. Anything that a community decides what it is. As the community becomes larger it becomes more valuable, but also it comes with more problems too (the USD as example).
Kotlin wasn't created to sell intelliJ, it had been the dominance IDE long before Kotlin inception. You found an article that happens to have that wording, that fits you hatred for some programming language. So you parroted the same argument all over this thread. Get a life.

I live in a Scandinavian country, we don't look at all like what Sanders proposes. We have high taxes and lots of benefits from the state, but we also don't have many regulations preventing businesses to run their company as they wish and we have plenty of billionaires. Sanders would be far left in my country, not just left.

Think of all the big, serious and sensible news organisations that independently reported WMD in Iraq while not being connected to the US government. Are you alleging they're all wrong and this is some vast conspiracy to frame an innocent Iraq and protect.. who, exactly?

Evidence is evidence. After WMD (which totally took me in, btw, you too?) Claims that evidence is "just over there" and "here are multiple different people reporting they've spoken to someone who saw it." Count for zero. Maybe they always should have but there's not doubt this stuff happens anymore. We watched it. (Hopefully) in horror as it unfolded without us objecting.
Words are only ever added to the OED after a period of use.

Before performant made it into the OED as an adjective, the nominal form was listed as a "nonce-word" only and didn't merit its own entry; it was kept under performance. It was never widespread in any dialect, unlike modern performant.

-Ant/-ent is not reserved for nouns anyway. There are informants, inhabitants, defendants, and many others, of course, but they can be ignorant, hesitant, pleasant, constant, tolerant, conversant, triumphant, significant, vigilant, dominant, compliant, adamant, reluctant, elegant...

Some of the second group fall into both categories, adjective and noun. Frequently the one form came later than the other. Add performant to that long list.
> you're not actually going to risk paying their legal fees to make a faulty argument in court.

In the U.S. a losing plaintiff does not pay the defendant's legal fees unless the lawsuit is deemed to be frivolous, which hardly ever happens.

Citation needed, a lot of the games sell pretty well without using freemium, things like Doom Eternal, Resident Evil 8, et al, plus a lot of games have fremium over already asking for full price, things like Call Of Duty Cold War.
Visible is part or Verizon, i.e. it's just another Verizon brand. I'm guessing they save a lot of money on customer service, as only relatively savvy customers will sign up for a mobile plan online, without talking with someone or walking into a store.

It’s great that there is commercially successful software written in Lisp. However a lot more needs to be written in Lisp to compete with the hundreds of thousands of commercially successful applications written in other languages. I don’t think that will ever happen. But that’s fine of course. Pick the language that makes you happy and work with that. It doesn’t have to be a popular language to make you happy.

That’s a great summary! Thanks for taking the time to write it up.
The author seems to overlook one of the fundamental purposes of money. Which isn't too surprising given her background, but somewhat disappointing given the topic of her site. That is, she ignores the role of money as a unit of account.

Traditionally, something is considered money when it can fulfil three functions:

1) Act as a medium of trade

2) Act as a store of (economic) value

3) Act as a unit of account

The last is critically important in the modern context because one of the fundamental uses of money today is to measure economic wealth/income/activity/potential. Many commodities can act as #2. Many abstractions can act as #1. Few things act as all three.
In the way that it's an asset that you derive value from.
Competing with those proprietary mcad will take a much better CAD kernel. FreeCAD uses OpenCASCADE. It's going to take a lot of time and effort to create a new one. There are a few projects around. I hope that one of them will catch on and get enough developer attention.

I tried to use Firefox v47.x as long as possible. For whatever reason it seemed like the most stable and user friendly.

I’ve never been able to leave hubdreds of tabs open in Firefox for any length of time. Eventually it will consume so much RAM or crash. Any Chrome based browser seems to handle hundreds of tabs open for days at a time without any problems.
Compiling firefox is not exactly a trivial process, especially if you want to keep up with updates. And besides, they break something else every other week. I was getting sick of constantly having to fix the userChrome.css too.

A lot of people are going to come in and say that money isn't real.

Which is true.

But I like to think in boolean and float terms.

0 is not real.

1 is real.

Cash in a reserve currency is ~0.9

Visa/MasterCard are also ~0.9

BTC is probably around 0.7

A shit coin is <0.5

Which is to say, it isn't real. You're right - that's not a useful stance, and all of the unreal things aren't therefore equally "real"
