I have a Dell XPS13 Developer Edition that was specifically sold with Linux.

Mine has a 4K screen and to be honest it’s a bit of a pain at that size.

It looks great but everything is a bit small with pixel doubling.

If it boots in native res then it’s unreadable. You have to mess with grub and set the font size to something enormous.

I wish I’d opted for HD 1080 when I bought it. Would be readable and the battery life would be longer.

No, wind farms kill little number of birds compared to cars and plain windows. Not counting cats which kill order of magnitudes more birds than wind farms.
Solar doesn't destroy landscapes either. Germany has enough rooftop surfaces unused to power itself easily with solar.
On top of that, if the solar panels are mounted with some distance in between, plants grow happily below them, the additional shade does not hurt them - quite the contrary in times with higher temperatures.

I've been struggling with hypertension and anxiety for a very long time. I just tried the beginner exercise and couldn't believe the effect.

Not only could I hold my breath for longer then I was ever able to on my first try but also I felt relaxed and happy at the end of the exercise.

Thank you!!!
That's fascinating. One of the things I like about HN is encountering people who have such radically different preferences.

For me, my big pet peeve is the difficulty of finding a high resolution (4K/5K) desktop monitor that is not enormous.
Sure you can do that, but that's a hefty price per user.
So you are OK with Twitter favoring one side over the other.

As long as it is the side you prefer. Sweet irony would be Elon taking it over and making it switch sides.

Despite how hilarious that would be, I would prefer the site be fair to both sides and allow open discourse.

No one in their right mind would want to be dependent on hardware running toward the end of the bell curve for anything 'mission critical'. Also, why do you think those SSD modules are removable? Probably saves you quite a lot when one dies since you don't have to replace the logic board.
Sure, but nobody is using 8pt CJK fonts. Even with a 5k panel, you wouldn't be able to resolve their shape without the equivalent of a magnifying glass (i.e. focusing on a smaller section of the screen). Talk about eye tiring.

For those of you less familliar with boat ownership... This story, and ones like it, are very common.

Nearly every river worldwide has a few boats or ships in very poor condition, with a few people living onboard trying to 'renovate' the ship.

It typically takes so many years to renovate, that the bits you did first need doing again before the end. It turns into a full time renovation project with no end in sight. Many people spend 20+ years of their spare time to never actually get the boat into working condition.

It's really a sad story of wasted human labour. The fact so many have big dreams for the shiny boat they'll have after a bit of work, and instead put in massive amounts of work to see no reward.
So for large files the bottleneck is encoding/decoding, which is done by orjson and not Python. If you wrap orjson in C++, the results would be even faster.

Taking Wikipedia as reliable (apologies) The Russian Army has 280k active troops (per :https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Ground_Forces) and is thought to have deployed 175k of those (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Russian_invasion_of_Ukrai...)

Contrary to the lowest grade, it seems that many elite forces were used : https://www.oryxspioenkop.com/2022/04/destination-disaster-r... unfortunately they were deployed in an amateur way using a reckless plan. If the reinforcement strategy had come off then everyone would say that it was utterly brilliant, but gambles like this happen in war all the time. We like to venerate the ones that work and to talk about brilliant generals and the glamour of battle. In reality, as in this case they mostly fail and the troops get bogged down and killed.

The Russians have done a surprising and smart thing, which shows that someone in Moscow has the light on still. They've pulled out of the north and completely changed strategy - this shows a strategic flexibility that's really quite impressive, and unusual for a totalitarian regime. The problem that they have now is that the situation in the south is much more difficult than it would have been if they had gone for it at the outset. They don't have much of a reserve because Russia is so vast and the Russians have serious commitments at the border with China and North Korea and so on.

Corruption is a big issues in the west but compared to what's happening in Russia and ex-USSR countries, it's not even in the same ballpark, hell, it's not even in the same planet.

In the west we have free press looking into it and exposing the theft, plus, the theft in the west has very complex schemes to make it look legit on the surface and to make sure nothing sticks to our Teflon politicians, but in Russia they don't need to worry about any red tape BS, they can just shove their hands in the public purse and take as much as they want and go directly to the Lamborghini dealership or the casino without any accountability, and if any reporter looks too deeply into their theft, they get death threats or even death through very suspicious circumstances.

It's orders if magnitude worse.
That's kind of my point, Solr and Lucene put the index in memory.

Normally, I don't like this kind of "source please" reply.

However, I feel that CIWS is mostly defensive security theatre. How often are do they actually work in the real world? The number of attacks on vessels carrying CIWS are so small. As a result, CIWS hardly get any real world practice. Events would be studied by military and manuf., then software updates made. As a counterpoint: Think how many cruise missiles have been fired in the last 50 years -- lots(!). There are plenty of case studies for military and manuf. to improve software. (I assume this is also how anti-missile systems are improved, like the US Patriot system.)

If they enforce that equally on everyone, I would be OK with that. There are plenty of popular figures on the left who fit that same definition but they get a pass.

No. With heat pumps electricity is way cheaper for heating.

Only on nights with temperatures below -5 Celsius gas is cheaper.

The problem is that most vendors are sold out.
I’m really surprised this kind of business hasn’t taken off in the states. This would be hugely successful in major US cities.
There's currently talks about sandboxing proc macros, install scripts and build scripts.

It would be nowhere near enough to make it safe to download untrusted dependencies, but it would at least stop the most trivial forms of attack.

Sandboxed dependencies with user-specified capabilities are a very, very long way away, if they ever happen.

To be fair if you get the on-site repair warranty, that is pretty great.
But we're talking petabytes of text comments and an index of that would be a lot larger. How do you access that data fast enough to enable search?
The page you link doesn't exactly give a good impression. The logo in the top left links to bulma.io, The templates list links to one called "Very Cool", but there's no way to get back to the original template (except of course the back button). There's no link back to pretzelbox.cc. The landing page there is much better, but then one of the testimonials is for a service called Moogle. The only connection between Moogle and PretzelBox seems to be your Twitter account.
The problem with nuclear plants is the risk is really unknown. One cannot say it is small.

For example, nobody considered that Russia would fire artillery against nuclear reactors. And now a threat of attacks with powerful conventional weapons against nuclear reactors and waste processing/storage has to be considered very seriously.

Similarly we cannot assume that technological progress would not allow a single terrorist with right equipment to trigger another Chernobyl.
> Also, as a curiosity, why is every thread related to a X86 news, need to bring in the Apple M1 fan army and bang their drums?

Honestly? Efficiency & battery life without sacrificing speed/performance.

If you need great battery life (or simply don't want to have to worry about charging your laptop frequently), it's hard to swallow ~4-10h battery life of a typical X86 laptop when MBA/MBP are consistently achieving 10-16+ with real-world use.

...not to mention the other perks MacBooks hold over their competitors, e.g. fit/finish, display quality, speakers, etc.

>They serve completely different markets.

Do they, though? With so many things being web-based these days, it's not very hard for most people (without specific needs) to switch to an M1 as their primary device without experiencing problems.

"If the power plant was I damaged it wouldn’t have lost capacity."

The link stated it was not damaged, so another explanation would be it was partly shut down. Missing crew, safety precautions, who knows. It is a warzone.
I remember when Twitter worked like this as well. It doesn't any more. When I see a tweet with a dozen replies and only one is visible, even in a private tab, it's very unlikely that eleven out of twelve are from locked accounts. It's even less likely that there wouldn't be at least one visible reply to one of those replies. I see this sort of thing often enough that I have no doubt that twitter is futzing with the visibility both of certain posters and of interactions with certain posters.

> Because it's by far the most expensive way of generating electricity

This is a bogus point, FWIW. Nuclear energy is the only energy source that we expect to substantially internalize its externalities.

All other forms have significant externalities that we just ignore. Some so great, such as coal-- that if we internalized them we wouldn't rightfully think of it as a source of energy at all: Just carbon capture alone will take more energy than burning the coal yielded, and that's before getting into all its other costs such as the considerable mortality due to its pollution and the radioactive emissions that eclipse those of nuclear plants.
“ If they enforce that equally on everyone, I would be OK with that. There are plenty of popular figures on the left who fit that same definition but they get a pass.

Where does it say they have to be equal in their treatment? It doesn’t. There’s a right side and a wrong side to things. If Twitter leans left by not editorializing and editing things on one side or the other so be it. For now they’re taking down things I disagree with and that’s fine by me. Those that don’t like it can go to Parler, Truth Social (lol), Gettr, or any other such place.

> So "doubling military expenditures" for most of Europe is "going from nearly zero to slightly more than zero".

Russia's defence budget is ~50 billion dollars per year.

The combined defence budgets of all of Europe is ~200 billion dollars per year, which is four times as large as Russia's. And that's from before the Ukraine invasion. The bulk of that defence budget belongs to NATO members who already have decades of experience in working together and having a shared command structure. We outspend Russia four to one, and if all European NATO members bump their defence budgets to the 2% requirement, we're gonna outspend Russia seven to one.

Going from four times the defence budget or Russia to seven times the defence budget of Russia is nowhere near going from "nearly zero to slightly more than zero".

> Active personnel 1,014,000

Oh no, a million demotivated peasants with rusty Soviet-era weapons! Whatever shall we do? Best we roll over and let Russia invade and take whatever they want!

You're also stuck in the cold war mentality that Russia is still as big and strong as the Soviet Union was, and it's just not true anymore. Europe has three times the population, four times the defence budget, and ten times the GDP of Russia. Russia has had three decades of unparalleled corruption and decay, and we're supposed to feel threatened?!?

No. Stop. Re-evaluate. Russia is no longer an existential threat to Europe.
I wonder if the current situation looks very different to what the German attack looked like in 1941. AFAIK Russians were then too terribly underequiped, undertrained and taking heavy losses in a rapid retreat.

Except then they were being attacked, had the Russian winter on their side, and had conscription and the heavy industry fully mobilised. Plus eventually lots of American-made kit (which wasn’t necessarily better weaponry but at least was made to plan, had spare parts etc).

It took the Russians a while to transition to the great victory in the “great patriotic war”.

Incidentally, this is why I don’t write them off yet, though I sincerely hope Ukraine clocks in a big win. Russians do have the resilience and stubbornness to push through. Whether that can overcome decades of corruption etc remains to be seen.
I don't really like being forced to give away my email just to try something blindly. Many times it stops me in my tracks, and I just give up on whatever the new thing is.

When I do give my email address out, it's my gmail address. I only check it a few times per month, sometimes more often if I'm in a project with someone. I've got 8,002 unread items littering it, so any marketing, etc... is just going to get ignored. Like 99% of all email (after the spam filter!), it's not really important to me.
The interesting thing about this technology, is that it's a way to bypass the rocket equation - in theory at least. There are a lot of practical objections, not the least of which is the fact that they've had to add so much heat shielding that it cancels out the gains of not needing to take so much propellant. But maybe they can work around that at some point.

The practical problems make me skeptical, but the potential advantages make me hopeful. To all the skeptics out there : remember that people were also skeptical when SpaceX said they wanted to land their rockets, yet here we are.

> Musk with a lot of help of others and a lot of government subsidies you mean

Yeah, but unlike Boeing/ULA and others who just milked the government for its cash and lobbied for further pork all the fucking time while delivering shit, Musk's leadership actually made real progress out of the cash they got from the government.

> The same subsidies he now things aren't needed, that others don't need subsidies because he doesn't need them anymore.

What Musk has realized is that most of the current political and economic leaders aren't interested in progress, only in filling their bank accounts. So why hand out subsidies to people that will only put them to waste anyway? And yes, Musk is also interested in filling his bank account, but it's undeniable he's pushing his people to leave a lasting legacy for society.

Personally, I believe that government subsidies for progressive projects are a good idea in principle, but their allocation should be completely restructured for projects above ~10M dollars: instead of lump sums that are doled out, they should be structured into quarterly payments and clearly tied to reaching milestones. No more "pork projects" that only serve to reelect corrupt politicians.

Oops :-D I gotta check that out!
The distinction of "history and tradition" and "current facts", as well as "nuclear risks" and "financial considerations" is entirely arbitrary. You assume people are against nuclear power not because they are convinced because of the facts (as they see it). Or are you confusing your opinion with "facts"? That may explain why you think that a different tolerance for risk is not fact-based, because it is counter to your opinion what a reasonable risk tolerance is.

Most of the Germans who would vote against nuclear power have nothing to do with any combination of "Greens", "Socialists", "Hippies" or whatever other pejorative you can come up with. Individuals largely decide this on their own and the consensus was reached.

If you think Greens are opposed to nuclear power because "they always been against it", you just never heard them out and just assume that. Ignorance is bliss, I guess.
> Russia seems to be much weaker than expected but definitely they are not harmless.

I mean, who want to test how harmful a slingshot is if they can't retaliate?

Russia has an artillery based army and Ukraine doesn't have the long range weapons to destroy it, so Russia can just destroy city after city from a safe distance.

Much weaker, but not harmless indeed.

Plus, the US already send 25% of its Javelin and Stinger missiles to Ukraine and it will take many years to replenish those stocks.

Can all countries in the vicinity of Ukraine receive such numbers of missiles and support?

No, hence we need to ramp up military spending and production in case Russia gets even wilder ideas.
I know your reply is being downvoted, but this part is important: <<Iraq hit the US navy with missiles launched from a business jet.>>

As I understand, this is true. Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Stark_incident

However, later reporting has asserted that the attacking aircraft was a Dassault Falcon 50 business jet which had been modified with a radar and missile hardpoints to carry two AM-39 Exocet missiles for anti-shipping operations.

What a brilliant guerilla-style strategy! I am surprised that Ukraine has not considered the same... but maybe they do not have anything like the Exocet in their arsenal.

You can detect features with visual ML. Sometimes no ML needed because features so regular.
He did have to type "httpie/httpie" in the box to confirm, no? I'm rather surprised that that didn't snap him out of auto-pilot mode. There ought to have been a DING in the brain seeing that the repo this is being applied to was httpie/httpie?

OTOH, I haven't been in such a mode, so I really got no right to comment on this. Best wishes to the team -- that those who saw his post will restar/rewatch the repo -- and (fwiw) thanks for writing it up and making me even more paranoid (in a positive sense) about doing such destructive operations.

GP might have ranted, but after decades of searching a suitable place for long-term storage of nuclear waste in Germany, the list of candidate sites is empty. And the willingness of anyone in Germany to tolerate a nuclear waste storage facility in their neighborhood is non existant. That is the reason why nuclear is unpopular in Germany. On the other hand, Germany also imported most of its uran from Russia. So that would have to change as well if Germany where to return to nuclear.

The original article also treats all sources of electricity as interchangable. Some kind of plants are slow to turn on and up (e.g. nuclear plants) whereas others are very fast to turn on, off, up, or down (e.g. natural gas plants). The latter kind of plants is needed to compensate the unpredictability of solar and wind energy. Nuclear plants cannot fulfill that role.

In my opinion Germany should have started to invest way more in the last two decades in synthetization of natural gas from thin air and cheap solar and wind energy. That would provide us with huge storage facilities for energy. And we could make huge amounts of natural gas heating unit eco-friendly without having to replace them. And even ten or fifteen years back it was clear that not being dependend on Russia would be a good thing.
