> So the unit only produces 0.3 liters an hour but if you wait 3 hours and provide 20 watts of power (7watts/hour), you’ll have a full liter.

That doesn't make any sense. 20W of power draw over 3⅓ hours is ≈67Wh (Watthours, not Watts per hour), so 67Wh per litre (energy use; independent of time) and it takes 3⅓ hours to get this litre of potable water with 20W of power.

In other words to get 1 litre in an hour, the device might require ≈67W of power (assuming that kind of perfect scaling is even possible with their design).
There are also other issues.

What with labor laws? Should you follow the laws from the country from where you work or where the company is located? Companies would just get a post box in the country with the weakest labour laws.

The simplest solution stays that the laws where you physically are apply.
This one is really powerful I agree ! I'm still amazed by the power of being extra nice to rude people.

I've found that it also helps to be as explicit as you can when communicating your politeness btw.

The author, Damon Krukowski, recently did an interesting interview on Bloomberg's Odd Lots about streaming music services and basically how they screw over small time musicians:

> Earlier this year, there was a growing movement among some musicians (lead by Neil Young) to remove music from Spotify as a protest against Joe Rogan. But frustration at the streaming music giant goes back a lot further than that. And it has to do with how royalties are paid, and the lack of transparency about how music gets discovered on the service. On this episode of Odd Lots, Tracy Alloway and Joe Weisenthal speak with Damon Krukowsky, the former drummer of the indie rock band Galaxie 500, and one half of the duo Damon and Naomi. He gives us his perception of industry economics, and explains his frustration as an independent musician with how the service works.

Nowhere on that page does it say they are Canonical employees. Ubuntu wiki is jus that - a wiki. The page hasn’t even been edited since 2015.

If they were Canonical employees, I wouldn’t expect this PPA to last much longer anyway because the entire reason Firefox has been snap’d is so that Mozilla will be handling updates and Canonical doesn’t want to handle packaging it anymore.

>encountering nil in your happy path is rendered harmless.

Only if by "harmless", you mean "creates a bug later rather than a crash now", as compared to traditional null handling. But Optional has neither problem.

>It’s better than option primarily because it means a lot less code. You delete all “is this value present?” type code from your codebase

"It's better because it's less code" is a pretty big red flag if that's the only advantage. Especially when "less code" means `foo.bar` instead of `foo?.bar`, or `if foo.bar` instead of `if foo?.bar == true` (and even in the second example, if you're touching `foo` multiple times, you can unwrap it one time with `if let` instead).
Actually it isn't really since the scientific community regularly has the problem of ostracising those that offer much progress. It is a decent method in practice but ultimately fallacious. The corpus of published works is far too massive so it is a compromise. A bad one, because the pressure to publish has a negative effect on scientific rigour.
Probably not. It's more expensive than available alternatives (according to the article they use expensive materials) and the performance is poor compared to commercially available alternatives.

Might be useful for certain niche applications, but outside of that it's more of a proof of concept at this point.
>One argument I've seen against the use of bike helmets is that people naturally gravitate to a certain risk level. Thus helmet wearing, it is argued, leads directly to a slightly more risk-taking style of cycling which cancels out the safety benefit of the helmet.

This is a nonsensical argument. Do you drive your car 100mph because you have airbags and a seatbelt? If you wore a helmet in the car would you do so?

Masks do not encourage riskier behavior either. It makes current behavior safer that's all.
Arch Linux.

I've recently started playing with Arch again, after being fully on the Debian bandwagon. This time around, I found getting it onto a blank HDD, and up as far as twm (with personal customisations) way more easier that I remembered. Compared to Debian on the same aging test laptop, it's SO light and responsive. I'm definitely going to invest more time into building out a good lightweight install.

If you've missed the news (and wondering why this is being voted), initially GitHub plans to fully shut down Git.io without redirection. Understandably, many people were dismayed by that and concerned of brooken links in research articles, printed media and source code comments (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31162829).

From the blog posts and sudden speed it reads more like a spam/phishing problem. The original blog post suggests you can make vanity urls.

Yes, unless they have the correct visa. No work visa, no working. It really is that simple.

It's easily actionable: if you can't pay the dollar, don't listen to the music.

i guess, and intent is important as a factor, at least somewhat mitigating. teaching that actions have consequences based on their outcome, nom matter how well intentioned, is important though, as is the lesson that life is unfair, or at least does not care about what you wanted or intended to happen ;)

GP said “scripts”. But no, VSCode certainly doesn’t have that level of interactivity. On the other hand, the single-threadedness of Emacs is very annoying though.

Edit: My usage of Emacs has been reduced to mostly just magit and dired since ~2017, so I didn’t realize Emacs 26 added threads. Is it actually widely adopted? Things I do use these days, like package.el, are clearly still blocking.
It’s not quite that simple, the dramatic reduction in nuclear stockpiles significantly reduced the threat.

What the oil wells did is suggest that the threat from burning cities was also lower outside of the bombs direct fireball which is very effective at transporting material to the upper atmosphere. However, more recent models show that fires across larger areas may be more capable of sending particles to the stratosphere.

Combined the overall threat still exists, but would be less severe than initial predictions.
Ask HN: What is your studio quality dynamic mic setup for remote work?
Attractiveness is definitely a factor which subconsciously influences Hiring. Fair or Unfair that is life and we have to deal with it.

I have heard that Google tries to control for this by having one panel of people as the Interviewers (i.e. actually meet/talk to the Interviewee) who then write-up their respective reports. This set of reports are then submitted to another panel (who have NOT met/talked to the Interviewee) who then have to make a hiring decision based solely on the reports.
That's an interesting limitation:

Choosing the Best Linux Server Distro (2022)
My current setup is high quality but too fiddly, not plug-n-play (BPHS1 broadcast headset which requires an XLR->USB audio interface, $300 combined). With this setup I am probably top 1% of audio quality on my zoom calls (people comment on it, and the dynamic mic doesn't pick up background sounds like house noise and sideways sneezes). But I'm looking for something plug-n-play that I can roll out to diverse teams.

I kinda applied this for my thesis. Advisor got really mad, rejected my draft and gave me an annotated version using a red pen (first time, it was blue til then).

I couldn't be happier : he caught way too many little details I didn't have time for, and explained the important details I didn't have interest in.

I submitted the new version around a month after that and it went smoothly.

Guess who saved a lot of work :)
Every picture I've ever seen of a place like WeWork has shown an open floor plan. They might have offices, but they're going to be extra expensive.

And since there's no such thing as "your desk" there, you will never feel at ease. Every day might bring someone that's incredibly annoying, and collaborating with your coworkers would mean either annoying others or booking a conference room.

In the end, it's easier to collaborate with them via video from home.

I think there are advantages to having an office, but I don't think collab work places have those advantages.

It’s difficult to understand exactly what you’re trying to say here but it sounds like you’ve been ripped off by a shoddy crypto exchange.

I guess he doesn't really know the parts when lisp macros are uncool. He even had the breaking example in his slide. The x++ part also breaks in lisp and only works in scheme, or when you have to introduce gensym into your macro. scheme macros are the real thing, but are not as simple and homomorph as lisp macros. they are more like constexpr matchers. if only we would have structural matching in our languages. and then do that at compile-time.

Land prices decrease proportionally with the level of LVT implemented: 0% of today gives a 100% sales price; 25% LVT gives a 75% sales price; etc; 100% LVT as I propose gives a 0% sales price. Of course the prices increase in a particular transaction more than the exact amount if the buyer wants to live on the land for a long time, though.

> And yet the author uses figures to also generate a false dichotomy. Just because a gap in income might be wider does not mean everyone is worse off, it is not a zero sum game.

It is, in fact, zero sum. Spotify puts the money for music streaming into a pot and payouts out proportionally to how much time a particular artists is listened to. Given there (a) a finite amount of money in the pot, and (b) a finite amount of time that people can listen to Spotify (per person, and cumulatively), it stands to reasons there's only so much 'pie' that can be sliced. Listening more to one artist means listening less to another, thus one artist gets paid more than another

Add to this that Spotify is creating/contracting music itself, such that is is both distributor and "artist", thus paying money out of the pot to itself.[1] Further Spotify controls the recommendation system, so it can send people to its own music, thus increasing the money it pays itself.

No GPIO either. I am quite surprised that there are so few x86 boards that expose _native_ GPIO capabilities. Somehow it's more popular to add a companion Arduino-like microcontroller for that (but that type of boards is quite rare too).
One pattern that we use at our company is that we have multiple env files, and we launch programs using `run_with_config <config-file> <command>`. The script loads environment variables from config-file and then launches command.

But that’s assuming Apple doesn’t want to have people repair their own equipment - it would contradict their sustainability mission that they loudly espouse and take action on.

Like why would they do this, if they didn’t want to, and then roll it all back? It would just bring legislation up again. It seems like a lot of work just to “trick you”.
I'm reasonably happy with SEB so far. I originally tried to get an account with SwedBank but they weren't interested until I had a personnummer (legally they're not supposed to refuse on this basis!) SEB were a lot more cooperative and set me up with a basic account (deposit for salary checks plus an ATM card) quickly. Most things seem to be fine through the website.

The one time I had to do some non-standard stuff they were pretty slow and a little disorganised, but it still seemed better than the UK banks I've used previously.
I like this trend with LPs. You get a physical totem and lossless digital copies.

I bought some Peter Gabriel records and they came with a code for downloading multiple formats including huge, lossless. And the site for one wasn’t working because it was too old and I had to email someone. But an actual human responded and send me a code to the new site.

Not sure if that’s just for RealWorld or for all Geffen LPs.

I think this is a good model where you get some limited release physical world thing and then the digital version to go along.
There are only about a few dozen records in the world worthy of the ceremony to me, to be honest.

They're the ones you can listen from start to beginning in order every time. The ones you never get bored of and if you do, you have a need to listen to them again pretty soon.

The chance of me grabbing an LP off the shelf and listening to 6 Underground by the Sneaker Pimps from their Becoming X album is exactly is zero. It's a banger yes, but the rest of the album is decidedly not worthy of the ceremony.

It would be interesting to see a research on how pyramid schemes participants, political/religious extremists and cult participants show some really common traits.

They are always blind to the facts, rationalize and deflect everything. Always repeating the same arguments that were served to them "What about gold?", "What about financial market in general?", "What about Hillary?", "What about Islam?".... There is a strong sense of community, superiority and being enlightened. Always entrenched in their position, defending their situation and never ever admitting the most evident facts of the situation....

Came here to say this. Also, the littering aspect is not so great.

As you say, this item seems out of place on an otherwise surprisingly consistently convincing list. Another child-related one is good advice "For the best results with your children, spend only half the money you think you should, but double the time with them."
There may be tax liabilities in other locations. Say, for example, you pay someone who does not declare their income and, assuming you reside in the same country, you end up being liable for their tax. Extreme scenario but can happen.

Also, again in some countries, your tax authority may decide the person is actually your employee and not just a freelance contractor. Again, extreme, but a risk if you are paying the same person on a regular basis.

Paying via a third party platform usually absolves you of such hazards.

That's true of most people about most things. It's not exclusive to extremists or cultists.

In fact, all of the above is. I didn't used to notice when I was younger because I was always on the winning team by default.
One of the most valuable things I've found is not to talk to your users but to watch them. And by watch I mean sit beside them / screen share with them as they use your product and get them to talk you through what they are trying to do, and then get them to explain to you why they are doing it the way they are. If users consistently struggle to do something or find something frustrating or non obvious then you have an issue with your design, even if to you it is obvious or you are sure you are doing things the "right" way. If you don't have any users yet then pay someone to try to use your software to perform the basic tasks without any instruction
With advances, perhaps one day it will be the size of a pack of cigarettes. And thus portable enough to include in an emergency kit!
