Key word: "seems".

Any evaluation vs. historical crime levels (especially violent crime levels) will reveal that this is little more than a blip. Yes, the Tenderloin is a complete mess. Yes, it's true that the DA is experimenting with measures that are different from the usual mass-incarceration approach. Yes, this is causing some issues.

The rest of SF is extremely safe by any reasonable standards.
I was coming to ask that same question...
Framing aside it’s a fact that the quality of life will be lowered for some.

What you’re saying isn’t wrong, but it is what it is. This is a political issue, acting as if switching entirely to renewables will not result in some short term sacrifices is well, disingenuous.

I'd be happy with some "nutritional" information alongside the usual app info. If I'm trying to choose between several note taking apps for instance (assuming they both claim to deliver a similar set of functionality) I might just go with the one that's not going to hog all my memory or drain my battery. Like nutritional labels on food it won't be completely accurate, but at least I'll know to choose the crackers over the chocolate cake if I'm trying to lose weight.
Cool, so when I launch apps from Startup folder, what's the config that puts them on my second [virtual] desktop?

When I open a second MS Word window, what's the config to stop that opening maximised, tell it which desktop to open on (stop it maximising all other Word windows would be good too).

If I launch an app, then switch desktops, how do I stop the app appearing on the later desktop?

Bonus if I can set where an app opens [from a shortcut, say].

Thanks, no-one else seems to know how to do these things.
Isn't Edge just a Chromium reskin?
Maybe because it acknowledges the work of other people in the field. ;)
That seems like obviously the wrong question, since it has at least the potential to rule out viable solutions a priori.

For example, what would be wrong with preventing developing nations from cheaply industrialising, while also subsidising them to do something else instead?

I think that any approach to climate change needs to actively monitor the motivations that a given country has to sabotage it.

In that respect, I don't think that climate change is solved by 'just give the EV companies all the money ever' but by pro actively addressing and then monitoring those detractive motives, nuclear threat inclusive.
The fact that Apple's developer tooling is described as great makes me suspicious if the author has used JS tooling in a serious way. VS Code is just so much better than XCode. My experience developing native apps in SwiftUI is also that the documentation is very very lacking. And lastly I wasn't able to get a hover effect without dropping tons of frames. My lack of experience I'm sure is partly to blame for the app's poor performance, but it certainly wasn't performant out of the box. React would have been significantly more performant for my use case.
i believe it's a bug. i was able to get several circles to stack and a solution became impossible
> which is just layers of hacks to cover up the fact that you're just slinging strings around

This is NOT true. You are slinging around FILES. They might be text and they might not be text. Nothing keeps bash from opening up a file of raw C structs and parsing out the objects to use them.

The reason this isn't done very much is because it is seldom useful. 99% of files that users want to process on the command line are human-readable text files (this is just as true on Windows as on POSIX). The rest of what is done consists mostly of piping the non-text through programs dedicated to handling complex data.

The most common use case for "objects" is parsing JSON and tools like jq exist to do this. There are also separate tools for most of the common non-text formats.

> Yes, you can accomplish anything in bash. But it's not pretty.

Powershell one-liners aren't pretty either. If you're writing complex programs on the command line, you are making a big mistake. A bug in your code could be catastrophic. Such programs need to be tested first anyway.

Shebang files have been around for decades to solve this issue. Just write your code in a "real" language like python or perl.
Ah, so it's a general tile addressable system, where the individual tiles might be vector data, rendered vector data, or raster data. For rendered or raster data, the advantage is that it's a single file, rather than eleventy billion little files and directories. For the vector data, it's a tiling system, which allows you to do the standard things for dropping/combining features as mbtiles, just as one container file.
> The moment that, by the latest estimates, is less than 10 years away

The moment is always 10 years away.

Remember global cooling or the mini ice age of the 70s?

Remember Al Gore and global warming? It's an inconvenient truth that nothing has really materialised in the past 15 years following that, despite his hysteria. (He is surely sad that it hasn't, given his environmental investment portfolio).

I've seen nothing to indicate any change at all. The beaches of my childhood are the same, weather does change - but if anything, things seem cooler not warmer to me. There is surely pollution, but I lay all blame for that at the feet of corporations. They should pay, rather than getting their governments to socialise the expense of the population - by making us feel guilty for consuming, even teaching this in schools. Apparently we should feel guilty for merely existing. They can stick it.

I'm afraid that I do not trust the science, the media or politicians to convey truth to us here. They are all self-serving. They can stick it too.

And let's remember that this wasn't an issue until the Club of Rome came up with the idea to make Man the enemy in order to gain greater control of our lives on behalf of the oligarchs:

"In searching for a common enemy against whom we can unite, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like, would fit the bill. [. . .] All these dangers are caused by human intervention in natural processes, and it is only through changed attitudes and behaviour that they can be overcome. The real enemy then is humanity itself."

The Club of Rome, in their 1991 publications The First Global Revolution, under the heading “the common enemy of humanity is Man”.

Yeah I know most of these algorithms are not state of the art. That's why I explicitly said that. Still, I find it interesting to read about them. It satisfies a curiosity of mine, hopefully shared with other people here too.
Well most of the proposed solutions to climate change issues involve making the proles' standard of living worse which is never going to work. Even something as minor as increasing fuel taxes led to the yellow vest protests. How are any of these major curtailing of consumption solutions going to fly globally without leading to massive civil unrest?
30 fixes only exist in the US thanks to government intervention in the mortgage market to underwrite that risk for the banks.

In most western countries, fixed mortgages do exist, but the bank has to go out and buy the relevant interest rate swap in the open market, so availability fluctuates & is biased towards short term fixes. Most people are either on a variable rate or are on a short term fix that expires in a couple of years.

I remember when interest rates hit 15% in the UK in the 80s. My parents did worry they were going to lose our house!
Lived in Los Angeles Greater Area pretty much most of my life.

The entire framing of the climate issue as "poor and middle class people need to use less energy, says a bunch of comparatively rich people living in high cost of living first world cities" guarantees political failure.

The only way we will get real traction against this problem is if we stop framing it around shame and austerity and instead frame it as a problem solvable via technological innovation that also frees us from the constraints of fossil fuel dependence.

That framing is also more correct IMHO, as there are numerous reasons to get off fossil fuels other than climate. The most significant of these is political independence and the fact that fossil fuels are a strictly limited declining resource whose depletion threatens our civilization on the supply side.

This is a technical problem not a moral problem. There is no god that is going to punish us for emitting carbon. It's just physics: more carbon, more retained solar heat, weather changes that will disrupt the food supply and threaten a bunch of major population centers.

It's also a problem about human self-interest not saving some mythical shibboleth of "unspoiled nature." Nature just is and we are only spoiling it for ourselves. As George Carlin put it: "Stop saying save the Earth! The Earth will be fine. We're fucked."

Edit: on a final note: yes it is true that we could probably absorb and adapt to even severe climate change. But the cost of non-carbon-based energy is falling rapidly as technology advances and renewable energy is scaled up, while the deferred cost of climate change is rising. These lines almost certainly intersected some time ago. Getting off fossil carbon is cheaper than continuing to make climate change worse. This effect is compounded by the fact that fossil fuels are being depleted and therefore that the more we invest in them the more fossil fuel infrastructure investment will eventually be stranded as worthless. That depletion will probably bite at about the same time as climate change, draining the economy right when that cost hits. When you consider the depletion and stranded investment angles getting off fossil fuels is probably many orders of magnitude cheaper than the alternative path.
I lived in NYC post covid. Trust me, it's no Disneyland.
That's surely true in a sense where the gameplay and narrative are disconnected. I think this is common in the practice of TTRPGs, but not necessary. Gameplay can reinforce or even _be_ the narrative and some games exemplify this (Primetime Adventures, Star Crossed, 10 Candles, The Clay that Woke, and Dialect all immediately come to mind).

I haven't read _this_ RPG to speak to it. But I can 100% imagine an excellent "Blade Runner" RPG which goes beyond just skinning a setting on to some ambient system and instead really explores gameplay that itself can tell a "Blade Runner story".
Reading the thread, I guess all I need is to buy an EV and compost my food waste and then I won't have to worry anymore, plus have a nice moral ground to complain about climate scientists like the Republicans do.

Honestly, a huge majority of you need to be honest with yourselves: this kind of thing bugs you because you are business people, founders, people broadly trying to make serious investments in some kind of economic future that will (ultimately) lead to your (continued) success. Your aspirations are not bad in themselves, but neither is reporting about climate change, and the honesty comes in when you recognize there is a conflict of interest between the two here.
Strongly disagree.

Does anyone on any side of this issue have anything substantially new to say?

If we have heard it all before, then what more is there to say?

Perhaps we shouldn't be doomsaying 24/7. It isn't healthy for anyone involved.
The easiest argument against current property taxes is that they have completely failed to prevent the current situation. They do not properly incentive the efficient use of land, so mini-kings get to sit in their mini-castles and argue against densification while looking down on the new-comer peasants.

And the current situation is already “destroying” peoples lives as their courses into “normal” adulthood are interrupted and delayed, so it’s somewhat a question of who feels the effects. The difference with devaluing homes is that people may lose some wealth, but they still have a home! Investments are supposed to risky, that’s why you make money off of them sometimes; so let’s make it that way for houses.
Given how absolutely hard it is to get people to evacuate in front of an obviously on-coming disaster such as a flood or hurricane, I think your view of people is naive at best.

Book Review: Bernoulli's Fallacy
SF absolutely has crime issues that it’s not doing enough about, but based on this CEO’s history this feels like grandstanding. Here’s some past statements by the CEO:

> Powell gave an entire bitcoin to the protesters on February 6th out of a belief that the Canadian government went too far with its trucker vaccine mandates. “I'm personally against the mandates. I think they're just immoral. I also think there's, at this point, a lot of evidence to suggest that we've been lied to or information has been withheld. And I think its efficacy is dubious at best.”

You are mixing in random headlines that were not the results of my scientific consensus (cellphones and cancer?) and headlines that warned of the bad possibilities if nothing was done. The fact that scientific and other advancements have helped avert some of the issues we were warned about shouldn’t be misinterpreted as a failure of the warning but the opposite.

I don't know why on earth this is downvoted. You're 100% correct and I'm bewildered that this 'conservative' trope is prevailing in the thread. Both companies spent functionally the same amount of money, and both maximised different terms of the [customer count]*[customer revenue] equation.

Fast made what was manifestly the wrong decision, both in hindsight and in foresight (I'm happy to post my WhatsApp screencaps from a year and a half ago when I was exploring starting a co in that space). It's not possible to build a hands-off 'platform' like Stripe in that space - integrations are complex, and so integrating a large number of small clients predictably bogged them down till they ran out of money.

(That's not the only reason, I'm sure. It was also a shitty implementation of one-click checkout: most saliently, it wasn't one click. Anyone who actually tried Fast at the time - and I & my prospective cofounder shared the few tiny client websites either of us found like they were rare gems - could see that it was a terrible implementation, in a space where UX is literally the entire game. Many actually did, e.g. this guy from back then: https://chrisfrantz.com/checking-in-on-fast/)

I'm well aware of that. But I'm also aware that human time is expensive, and paying $25 shouldn't entitle you to someone's time indefinitely. This model is just one of the ways of ensuring that the developer has a constant flow of money so they can keep working on the tool.

Even with this model, I'm already looking for jobs, because I don't get enough money for the 14-hour days I have to put in to keep up with hardware changes.

An editor is far easier to keep using after the 1-year period has ended, especially if it has support for plugins which should update for free.

New vs Recency*Popularity. Not two greatest choices, tbh, given how large and diverse the general HN community is. In some ways it would be nice if you could sort by upvotes by members of particular sub-HN communities (e.g. founders, or neuroscientists, or ...). Not sure how to do that, but might find more in-topic posts of interest to domain-experts (rather than general community).
I'm sorry, but this is utterly unhinged. There is no evidence of weather patterns of any kind, much less indications that we are about to face "extreme-weather". What caused the weather which led to the dust-bowl? What caused the ice-age?

The climate of the earth has changed for millions of years w/o humans, and while certainly greenhouse gases impact the current trends, they aren't cause for apocalyptic concern.

I realize many people will probably vote this into oblivion, but I do not think there is a climate crisis at all.
Then why aren’t we talking about the the most promising solution to avert the crisis: solar radiation management? If things are really so dire, why are there efforts to even ban scientific research on solutions like marine cloud brightening or atmospheric sulfur injections?

From my perspective LATimes is often talking about climate change. I don't thoroughly read the LATimes but here's a selection of articles I've read from them.

Like how Race is involved with climate change: https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2022-03-18/race-enviro...

Also how climate change is itself racist: https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-02-13/climate-...

Then also covering anti-climate change politician as black face of white supremacy? You'll have to read the article to understand how a black dude is a white supremacist. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2021-08-20/recall-c...

Dont worry about the title; the article definitely brings up race: https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-03-22/what-has...

Not sure why they are so focused on race. Race doesn't really have anything to do with climate change in the rest of the world. Perhaps that's what we are doing wrong?

The Gauntlet is an online-first RPG club with a packed calendar of games. They tend to not use the various online virtual tabletops, but instead have developed their own resources for running games online using things like Google Sheets for character starts and various free group video calling systems.

They're a teeny bit on the woke side, teeny bit, but I've had fun in their games and they're a well meaning bunch with an actually genuinely very diverse membership. I've got on with them no problem. They tend towards indie RPGs and story games, which suits me fine, but you can find all sorts in the schedule. They have also started publishing games developed by the core club team. Even if you don't play with them their resources are well worth checking out for anyone who wants to play online.

I disagree with the parent post about the use of Greek letters, but it seems like a valid point worth of discussion. Certainly in the spirit of HN.

> Why are we talking about anything but climate change?

The whole premise of this opinion piece is to be a "what-about"ism.

I was going to do a point-by-point response, but I can't bring myself to it. This is more of "just trust The Science TM", when the ScienceTM is heavily flawed, the models ever changing, the proportion of disaster predicted ebbs and flows with the seasons, and government funding is the only thing that continues to fuel positive results. Not to mention lack of transparency into the models which makes replication impossible.

The politicians use the fear generated to win elections and erode freedoms and levy more taxes that are uselessly added to the slush-funds of state and federal government.

The solutions offered ("adopt clean energy") are tone deaf -- even elitist -- and if adopted, will kill vulnerable populations all over the world.

I hate fear mongering. Fear is a powerful tool for control and will be exploited by every single sociopath that takes office, whether they intend to or not.
