Here's a recent well-researched post that comes to essentially the opposite conclusion:

The basic conclusion of all of this is simple. Nuclear war is definitely not an existential threat to humanity, much less to all life on the planet. Most people even in major urban areas would survive the initial attack, along with a surprising amount of infrastructure. This isn’t to minimize the effects, as it would be a humanitarian catastrophe unprecedented in human history, as the global economy breaks down and regions are pushed back on their own resources. This could easily kill more people than the war itself, particularly in densely-populated areas, but I would expect things to stabilize at a technology level of maybe the late 19th/early 20th century and start back up.

The main difference is that he concludes that nuclear winter is mostly a myth. His main evidence is that the effect on weather of the soot produced by the oil wells burning in Kuwait in 1991 did not match the nuclear winter theory predictions. It would be interesting to reconcile these two disparate conclusions.
Because we have seen evidence of it over and over again, maybe?
What today is undeniable is that 2014 Euromaidan was a step in the right direction for Ukrainians - no matter how it started. Seriously, why would anyone (except oligarchs) want to be under Putin's control?

Two words: virtue signal.
Tried a few sets, went until 2000, 3000 and the time gap between the two results remains more or less constant!... Not sure how to interpret it.
On the other hand these are fragile governments at best, and handing the military more effective troops is always going to cause a rise in the number of Coups.
Go to chesstempo and filter by tag "defensive move" (or something like that).
That's a good question. Many nations have been taking up these ideologies. Many indigenous communities on the other hand would likely qualify as 'nonwesternized' but in terms of entire nations? Possibly Saudi Arabia?
I use zplug, and wrote a quick doc on getting zsh+oh-my-zsh+zplug+powerlevel10k+fzf up and running on MacOS: https://gist.github.com/aclarknexient/0ffcb98aa262c585c49d4b...

I'm sharing that not as blogspam (it's a gist, so I don't get anything for sharing it) but because every time I show someone fzf plus the tools mentioned above, they always ask for a guide on installing it.
Yea but the central governments can’t insure the deposits because they lack the ability to print dollars.

The App Store page says "Simply take photos of an object from all angles and upload them to our service, and we will create and send you a 3D model ready for 3D printing, Augmented Reality and our web app r3Dent." so not it appears to use some kind of server-side processing. So it's not even on-device.

You're undercalling the risk. Measuring by corpse count, the Chinese system triggered arguably one of the greatest catastrophes to ever hit the human rate in the Great Leap Forward. The gap between India and China They're- arguably about 20 years big - isn't large enough to justify that level of suffering. As far as government policy is concerned, that is pretty close and the individual Indians are going to be in a better position to enjoy the fruit of their labour than individual Chinese citizens.

India is consistently achieving 5% real GDP growth for 30 years - and those numbers are a lot more reliable than China's. There is little need to take risks, they're building wealth at a fast rate.
Evernote has only gotten worse since I started using it over 10 years ago

That is the modern business model. First you build something so good it becomes indespensible then you squeeze money out of it until your customers hate you just enough to not stop using you.
My comment disagrees with itself
My dad suffered a head injury and afterwards, he could just sit, still, spaced out, in one place all day. At night he used to struggle. Our two cats decided to look after him, they used to snuggle him through the day, or harass him to go get food, or to open this door and that door, he used to be kept pretty active by them! At night they used to sleep close to/on him and if he woke they would stick their faces in his and just purr at him. They gave him so much comfort.

After he passed, they now do this with my mum. In the mornings they will wake her up by licking her forehead, ever so gently.

I guess you can read in to their behaviour what you will, but to us it feels like empathy. Not sure what we would do without them.
Added to that there are fish that breath normal air like we do. Those are known as labyrinth fish. A common example is the Betta (or Siamese fighting) fish.
I don’t think many new languages emit C or try to use a conservative GC, because they’re both pretty poor options.

It’s also good to note that more and more companies are leaving due to both a combination of legislation, cost, and crime.
Why does that make them unintelligent? More like unambitious if you ask me.
I mean that when Greece says "I will put €x in your bank account", they can. They don't need to get those euros from somewhere else. They can just make them appear in your bank. That's why they can run deficits without running out of money.

This is basically "where euros come from." They're spent into an economy by governments. The ECB keeps track of how much each government spends, less taxes collected. The diff becomes "national debt." Money owed to the ECB.

The ECB decides interest rates, but this is basically just accounting. Greece will never have a persistent surplus, where ECB loans are paid down. Neither will other member states. So, interest "payments" just determine how fast the national debt grows.

The ECB threatened to stop backing the Greek banking system, which basically would have turned euros in Greek banks into a divergent currency.
Cats are master manipulators and if you have been chosen by one (or more) to feed and shelter them according to their desires you will know this. In the hierarchy of your home atop sits the feline.

They generally do what they please when they decide to do so. And they know it. How many people in your household can say they have this unbridled freedom?

Once you realise that the cat(s) in your abode and life have the luxury to pick and choose their course of action, or lack of it, at their whim the more you understand that they rule and occasionally oversee and direct proceedings.

In my house the cat runs the show. Then my wife. Then my two dogs and then me. I'm sure others on here can relate.
Why? Why are they doing that?

To get the criminals is it? Ha what a joke, there's criminals getting away with murder right now look at Putin, what has Europe done about him for the last 30 years?

What bugs me more than Notion not being open source is that the notes are nowhere on my device apparently but on their servers. I don’t have anything locally. If something happens to Notion or I don’t have access to the web, I’m done?
Welcome to what India's trying to tell the US for ages now. I suppose the defense contractors need their money more than fair governments need fair procedures, I suppose. Even if the US wanted to help unconditionally, general (non-military) aid would have at least helped the average citizen of Pakistan somewhat... not weapons.
My theory: if it controversial, they leave it off. If it is a feel good story, put it on.
Agreed. I’ve seen the UN-led humanitarian system up close (albeit not in Africa). In my experience, it has many, many flaws. One of these is that it is resource constrained.

This is bad logic if you look at the bigger picture. So you’re saying that the US spends money for coups only to have China swoop in for the diplomatic win? Instability is also bad for US conglomerates to take advantage of the situation.
You might write your own Pipeline where you forward a mail, scrape the content and e.g. save it to a Markdown or plain text file to open it with your text editor of choice. I don’t know of any piece of software unfortunately.
First off, I want to express that, barring malicious intent, you have done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG. Processes should exist that no one, from the cleaner to the senior architect, should be able to push back a production release by a month. That aside, to put that on a junior engineer is at best negligent and at worst down right vindictive (possibly seniors covering their tracks because deep down, they know it's ultimately their responsibility).

Stories like this frustrate the heck out of me. As someone who progressed from junior to senior in a little over 2 years at a pretty major company (pretty much any American would know the name), the quality of mentors early in your career is PARAMOUNT to efficient progression. A seniors top priority should be the progression and happiness of their junior engineers (one of my best tech leads used to say "The less code I have to write, the better a job i'm doing"). Sure, they could bash out a production ready service once a month - or, they could nurture the people they're meant to be guiding, and at the end produce several senior engineers of equal quality.

My advice? Have some frank conversations with your team, and if it comes to it escalate higher. Ask concretely what the expectations of a junior are there and why that is the case. Also ask what they see the role of a senior to be as well. Express that you're coming from a place of wanting to better yourself not only for your own sanity, but the benefit of the company at large. If things don't change, move on swiftly.
"Pack living offers a better platform for coordination and training hence dogs are more motivated to learn tricks" does not require a strict dominance hierarchy as was once erroneously thought to exist.

That's quite interesting. I wonder why visual culling on PC appears to have been much more primitive than culling on, say, the Nintendo 64. Some games there seem to dynamically cull every single polygon not in sight. For example, Banjo Kazooie: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=se6y5we3p2I
That's certainly interesting, and the place sounds nice. I think most people (certainly me) will admit that cars are almost necessary in your situation. Just curious though, would it not be better to live near a larger place assuming larger towns/cities may have better schools (on average)?

Pretty much everything in this post is spot on. So much of what of OP in the initial post wrote is not their fault.
He is responding to the title, which was not written by the people who designed the spacecraft.

The referenced scientific article is titled "A Comet Revisited: Lessons Learned from Philae's Landing". It deals with more mistakes than just the crash.

So he is not even in contradiction with the experts.

Show HN: CodeViz – OSS for source code stats w. interactive charts in VS Code

It's a nice sentiment, but these days it's almost impossible to conduct business with JavaScript disabled. At least business in the parts of the economy I work in.

Hey HN,
We built this little open-source tool that automatically visualizes the contents of a software project in Visual Studio Code. We think it's a good example of what our open-source viz library Vizzu (https://github.com/vizzuhq/vizzu-lib) can be used for.

Key features of CodeViz Stat:
- Shows file count and line count in total and by programming languages.
- Allows navigation within the project folders, filtering the visualized data accordingly.
- Shows a tooltip with details on mouseover.

CodeViz Stat is built on top of Kentaro Usiyama's great VS Code Counter (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=uctakeof...).

Happy to hear any feedback! Let me know what you think!
I see a lot of folks here with the attitude that middle management is kind of pointless. Do you feel similarly for line managers?
on the internet, nobody knows you're a cat.
Does anyone know of a note-taker or just an Android text editor with good paragraph-by-paragraph RTL support? I really like Obsidian but the RTL support is not there, no luck w a plugin either. It's too bad RTL is so often poorly supported in these electony apps when all it takes is adding dir="auto" to the HTML tags.

Edit: I just found iA Writer. It works great!

What do you mean by "intervened"? That they talked to people? Sure, they did talk to people.
> far, far stupider than even the conspiracy theory

That was my big takeaway from reading a bunch of "insider" books after the 2008 crash. The banks thought they were getting away with an great scheme (not a conspiracy, per se), but had the common human inability to properly model out the logical chain of implications over the long term (and perhaps a touch of "emperor's clothes" preventing proper risk assessment within larger organizations). Meanwhile the market punters were caught up in a frothy bubble ("this time is truly different!") which clouded their perception of reality, which led to all kinds of bullshit hype in the media. There were outliers, of course (e.g. I rememeber an eye-opening article in Harper's in ~2006 which was extremely dire in its outlook, and of course there were various people who were fortunate with their shorts), but the folks bought into the alternate reality tended to ignore warnings, given that their money was invested in the fever dream (also perhaps trusting the authority of the banks to have put together a low risk product, without truly understanding it).

In short, there's no need to conjure up an illuminati when you have all of the various standard fallacies of human thinking to work with.
Just another step towards dystopia. After the reformations of german police laws in the last years, starting with Bavaria, I dropped hopes that the combination of state of law with civil liberties may be self-sustainable.

The drive to sustain themselves is inherent to any institution we forge, and the reward incentives within those institutions simply have _zero_ alignment with civil liberties. The drive to power, relevance, funding and self-sustain goes _directly_ against civil liberties and privacy. If you understand this dynamic, you understand that the rest is merely a matter of time and precedent cases used as justifications for further extensions of the reach.

Multiple problems:

- inherent dynamics of self-sustain and growth in any institution

- people drawn to enforce law-enforcement value stability and security over social ideals, civil liberty and privacy

- people drawn to power (i.e. the top of the food chain in those institutions) are mostly sociopaths who will instrumentalize every tool at their disposal to better their own position

- democracy has no protection against the populist appeal of what feels like security. politics will go one step further ad infinitum, and anyone who is against measurements which the majority of the population can be sold on as "this is good for you" is consequentially not one of the good guys. It doesn't matter wether all the smart people are extremely vary of this, because smarts don't win elections

so what I'm trying to say is, yeah, we're fucked. I guess this is just baked into Europe, as we're not running on the model of "liberty for all". The upside is, we get decent healthcare, I guess. Meh.
Martian Mono: new (WIP) monospace font by Evil Martians

Ok, but to be realistic, this comes from legal. Of course they will try to minimise the responsibility, regardless of technical possibilities. Even rsync.net which basically does data storage says the same under "LIMITATION OF LIABILITY" in their ToS. Unless you're ready to pay for an SLA on your enterprise contact with a company - who would ever say "we're financially / legally responsible for your lost data"? I challenge you to find a single public counter example.
They designated a leader for the future government and vetoed other leaders from joining it. You can spin it as “they talked to people” all you want.

On lichess at least there are definitely some 'defense oriented' as in finding the move that won't lose you material. At any rate, even the attacking puzzles often have a 'defensive' part as you have to exclude the moves that lead to a tactic for your oponent.

Further, spotting successful tactics for yourself is a very related skill to spotting them for the oponent, you can even just press f (I think) to look at the board from their PoV and look for their tactics that way.
Because we let institutions run wild and don't have auto-expiration dates for laws/measurements that restrict civil liberties. I elaborated further on this elsewhere in the thread, maybe that helps clearing things up.
For a long time, dollars were almost exclusively created by banks.

The only other way is for The Fed to monetize the Federal Government's deficit spending.

This didn't regularly happen until 2008 - but I'm skeptical that the genie will ever be put back in the bottle.
> Martian Mono is a monospaced typeface family consisting of a variable font and 28 styles: Condensed to Wide, Thin to Extra Bold. It’s not a neutral font, but despite this, it remains suitable for reading. Overhanging terminals, a closed aperture, and an almost complete lack of contrast lead to slightly brutal and assertive aesthetics.

I was a paid subscriber of Evernote for several years. Then, a couple of years ago, they removed features for paid users in what they called an ‘upgrade’.

Democratically elected governments do things against the "people's will" all the time. That's not a reason for a coup.

As an example, the italian government is forcing us citizens to pay the cost of the sanctions to Russia, which will be really hard on us. Polls show that the large majority of Italians is against applying sanctions on Russia and sending weapons to Ukraine.

Should we plan a coup in Italy now?

The main reason I haven't tried this yet is I am concerned what would happen if every result is one of these spam sites that has fooled Google engineers for so long. Do I get a suspiciously blank page?

The other reason is I started using a search engine that cracked the code to let users rank and block sites (kagi) so I don't have to worry about it.
I don't think that's quite true. I'm pretty sure I've had positions where I can deliver the final mate with multiple pieces and would accept either.
Build something for yourself, something that you would want to use. Fun in programming is all about coming up with the desired behaviour of the program and and then building it iteratively.
Other option is to look at any open source program that you use daily and see how you can improve it or something that you want to add to it and then work on it.

The deal signed on Feb 21st 2014 says:

1. Within 48 hours after the signing of this agreement will be adopted, signed and promulgated a special law that will restore the action of the Constitution of 2004, as amended by this time. The signatories declare their intention to create a coalition and form a national unity government within 10 days thereafter.
