Lol that’s hilarious
> The best case for extending public transit to every suburb and exurb (never mind rural community) is probably on the same order. The worst case for EVs is a couple of decades (to 80% of cars on the road; obviously there's a long tail that diminishes).

Why are you using the standard of "public transit to every suburb and exurb" for transit and "80% of cars" for vehicle electrification? There's a lot of low-hanging fruit in the first-ring suburbs that we can tackle before the exurbs; those may be a lost cause for now, but a lot of people live in those inner suburbs!

And that aside, we need to at least stop the bleeding, right? If metro area growth boundaries keep expanding outward, that means more cars on the road and more energy and materials needed to make that happen. If we don't allow existing towns to build up at all, the only way for them to build is outward.

> I like the idea of more public transit and walkability, but I don't think there's any legitimate case to be made that these initiatives will meaningfully reduce our carbon footprint in the necessary timescales.

Alone they won't, just like vehicle electrification alone won't. We need to both reduce VMT and electrify, and we need both now.

> but we could easily rezone to allow for a finer-grained patchwork of residential and commercial zones. The finer-grained patchwork means that less of any zone needs to be reserved for parking/cars (it's not just breaking one big parking lot into many smaller lots with the same total area--in a finer-grained patchwork, fewer people need to drive so the total area for parking/cars is lower) which in aggregate means more space for other things.

This isn't separating walkability and density, this is higher density. This is the kind of thing we need!
> Okay so which one do I buy and how do I use it with ssh. The documentation is not specific.

Oh crap, I was thinking this doesn't affect me because I already have two factors authentication but yes if I need to fish out my phone every time I need to git something (I use sash, not tokens) that requires authentication, I will definitely minimize what I do on GitHub.

Hi all,

Here is a quick demo: https://www.loom.com/share/c6bf2a7af02e4b0a86a242ff043ec110
Ask HN: Any feedback on Cloudflare r2 service?

Though not the intended purpose, it probably also helps serve as a ground level windbreak.
Yes, for sure. I think my experience is mostly because of my location. I live in a country where twitter isn't popular. I basically read tweets of only @elonmusk and @waitbutwhy.

For a few weeks ClubHouse became very popular around here and major serious media, NGOs, etc. were all creating content there (instead of putting it e.g. on their YouTube). That's why it got me worried.

During that time I sometimes tuned into some US rooms as well (e.g. Jason Fried hosted a regular and interesting room), but I always thought that it would work better as a podcast.

Not exactly a tribe, but there is the case of the Lykovs: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/for-40-years-this-rus...

They just figured that the other humans were probably up to some fancy shenanigans again, instead being impressed by things like cellophane (granted, they had the benefit of knowing of the existence of the outside world).

I think it might be similar for many isolated tribes. By now they have probably seen enough signs to deduce that the things they're seeing are created by fellow humans, since satellites and planes have been a thing for a few generations now. Especially with satellites having predictable orbits.

IIRC, that particular cable was one which had its power wired to the ground pin and ground wired to the power pin. No standard can help you if the cable is that badly made.

(The effect of that miswiring is to apply a negative voltage, around -5V, to a chip most probably designed for a range of -0.5V to 20.5V; which results in a short circuit through at least the ESD protection diodes within the chip, and possibly other parts of the chip too.)

>>how is it priviliged if my University proffesor makes less than some of his graduates with 3 years of experience?

Not the OP, but the term "Privileged" has many meanings. FWIW, "monetary compensation" would not necessarily be in the top 3 my mind jumps to.

Some thoughts:

* There's the privilege of job security

* Related privilege of potentially higher relative freedom of actions or higher flexibility, work life balance, etc

* There's societal privilege and respect given to the profession (heck, they even share a root word:)

But I imagine "Privileged role in society" was meant more broadly in that in many fields/situations, or for many people, academia/professors/university are seen as guardians / best source of facts / models / truth / knowledge. And that is a tremendously privileged role, with tremendous influence which I believe OP indicates is no longer deserved or earned.
I'd say a lot of chemistry is more directly quantum than Newtonian.
Societal privilege is not measured in terms of the net income of the people who hold the privilege, it is measured in the influence those people have over the workings of society. For example: particle physics commands huge budgets despite having produced nothing of value for the last 50 years. It commands these huge budgets because particle physicists have societal privilege. When a particle physicist says that society should write a check for billions of euros to build the LHC, society does it. That is societal privilege.
Many children's stories of old had an entirely different moral sentiment than today.

They exposed children to the idea that the chaotic world is outside your ability to control, but you must live in it and navigate it to the extent you can nonetheless. This will not always end well for you, despite your best efforts.

In contrast, the message of modern fairy tales is that life has challenges, but they can all be overcome. If you are noble, persistent and hard working, you can achieve anything. Characters nearly always end up royalty or some variation of happily ever after.
This is one of many reasons why floating-point should never be used for coordinates. It's also a bit frustrating because 64-bit integer support is easier to implement in hardware than double-precision (or even single-precision) floating point, but the latter was widely available long before the former.

There are coordinate systems that can represent any point on earth to the precision of a micron that use 64 bit integers.
I love that GitHub and Notion both support mermaid.js now!!

* how to style the diagrams (similar to css)
* options for editors (including online ones! https://mermaid.live rocks)

> I like to think that nobody really knows what they are doing.

I disagree. I've been in calls with some executive level folks in the last few months, and the table stakes are very high for these people, and they exercise a lot of control, where they were absolutely treating conversations as a game of chess to be won.

The problem for a low-rank engineer like myself (and sure, I'm a tech lead but that's roughly equivalent to mid-level management, not even a Director role where I work) is that we don't even know the rules to the game, we don't know what the winning strategies and tactics are, we don't even really know what winning looks like until well after someone won.
Thank you for taking the time to share. I really enjoy learning how other people experience the world. There are so many times when I've made an assumption based on my own life and was greeted with a surprise when I came to learn something new.
> Fantasia was easy

You no need an extension for that one. As a kid, I tried to watch it multiple times and I always fell asleep. And I was a very patient kid.

Yet, Python (and most of her programmers including data scientists, of which I am one) stumble with typing.

if 0.1 + 0.2 == 0.3:
print('Data is handled as expected.')
else:
print('Ruh roh.')

This fails on Python 3.10 because floats are not decimals, even if we really want them to be. So most folks ignore the complexity (due to naivety or convenience) or architect appropriately after seeing weird bugs. But the "Python is easiest and gets it right" notion that I'm often guilty of has some clear edge cases.

As someone in the edge of going back to school, this is my long term plan. I’m not sure why discussion of higher education assume that anyone going for a PhD wants to go into academia, when there are plenty of industrial research labs looking for PhDs.

My older Logitech C920 has an on-board H.264 encoder. Newer revisions of the same model does not.

I haven't figured out why they chose to remove it, but your point about licensing cost combined with them not advertising it much as a feature, and most of their competitors not including "proper" video encoding might explain it.

Edit: Found an official explanation here: https://www.logitech.com/en-us/video-collaboration/resources...
TLDR, they figure most computers at that point had HW encoders.

Is cpu limiting also enabled by v8? Ie noisy neighbor?
Sounds miserable compared to using a password manager.
I've pretty much given up on any kind of shopping aggregator.

I go to the brand/manufacturer website directly and buy online there if possible. I feel that's the best way to get what I am intending to buy, even if it's not the lowest possible price.
In which case, why is it an open book contract?

If the specification is that precice, the best fit is usually a fixed price contract.

Typically open-book contracts is to account for uncertainty / flexibility / changes without having to raise endless CRs/WOs. Those fixed price contracts can still have gainshare mechanisms to identify joint cost saving.
Yes, this is really why most mobile sites disable it (at least it's the primary reason I do).

Latency matters a lot and everyone taps, not everyone zooms.
The HN news hoardes will probably be here soon to chastise me for even remotely giving health advice over the internet but when I had an ulcer I found out that in Japan doctors will actually prescribe powdered Glutamine (its just an amino acid - common building block of protein - so pretty damn safe) for ulcers and many things that involve the lining of the GI tract. Apparently the walls can directly use glutamine to help repair themselves. Seems to help me a lot and I just regularly started taking small amounts of it daily since I sometimes love eating an exorbitant amount of spicy food and that can be pretty harsh on your insides.
Yet, if you go into the "enable 2FA" settings on Github, you only get the option to enable insecure TOTP or SMS.

Apparently, once you do that, you might be able to add proper authentication. But no word on whether that then replaces the obsolete methods you were forced to configure earlier.

But, yes, right on track to enforce 2FA in 2023, I see...
> other people's code can, refer to the same thing by different names

They can but the compiler will just tell you it's ambiguous and to qualify it. Also bear in mind Nim has very strong static typing, so for things to clash they also have to have exactly the same type, otherwise no worries.

You can even rename symbols on import or force qualification for all symbols, but I've never needed to do either in years of heavily using the language.
>Python shines beautifully as a (somewhat) cross platform scripting language

Python is much more than just a scripting language. I remember attending this talk[1] a few years about JPMorgan's 35 million LOC Python codebase. Python is being used to built seriously large software nowadays and I don't think performance is ever a minor issue. It should always be in the top 3 for any general purpose language because it directly translates into development speed, time and money.

I would prefer a programming position in the games industry, but am open to other Software Engineering opportunities. Having worked in a government agency as a consultant for the past 6 years, I'm ready to escape the "Corporate" environment. I'd love to find something with more flexible hours than 8-5 and a looser dress code than "Business Casual." I'm very good at reading, understanding, and improving existing code, with great attention to detail, readability, and maintainability. I feel very comfortable working in a large, established codebase.
Here is a link to the actual memo: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases...
To be honest I wouldn't be hyped about someone who needs "treat men and women equally" explicitly spelled out for them.
The point being, the FIDO Alliance reserves the right to blacklist any device that an attacker manages to extract the secret keys from, which has the consequence that 99,999 other people have their devices bricked.

Also, the Alliance could decide to blacklist a manufacturer just because they haven't implemented some new policy (like requiring a DNA scan of the user) so you better make sure that you buy a device from one of the "too big to fail" providers.
I wish FIDO was built into the phones (enclave) requiring a biometric and passcode. For 99% of users this would be superior to email/password and get rid of a lot of hacks/phishing. It doesn't require extra hardware to buy and simply requires a minor protocol update to have the challenge on a laptop/desktop show as a QR-code (or could be sent via BT). The mobile sends the response out of band to a destination set at creation.

For users with a greater threat model (worry about enclave being hacked), they can use physical FIDO keys.
I don't think any AWS account allows more than one!
you can carefully select who and who can't see your posts. there's a feature for that there already. and not just broad groups like "friends', "friend of friends", you can even select each individuals, i think.
Please, don't give them any more "good" ideas.
It may not be trivial to replace the current system. But the current system is certainly not a local maximum. As a former academic who has been doing research for more than 15 years, it's hard to reconcile the idea of a local maximum, or, say, a system for advancing knowledge that works well, with (a) submitting an article to a journal, (b) sending it in for review, (c) getting a rejection notice with reviews that don't make sense to the point where you get the sense that they've reviewed another article, (d) sending an appeal to the Associate Editor making it clear that the reviews don't make sense, (e) having the AE respond that they themselves have read the article and agree with the reviewers.

Most people, especially outside of academia, think that the problems with the peer review process are something more "philosophical" than they are, like the old establishment not wanting the new generation of physicists to present and support a new "Standard Model".
But the real problems are more mundane, and consist of thousands of people wasting time and energy following processes that are, for the most part, crazy.
I don't see what's mean about what I said, I'm quite excited to see this change already having positive impact.
On gnome on fedora at least, I can have my gpg automatically unlock when I login to the desktop.

I already have two steps on GitHub with the authy app but I don't get it. Why is it not good enough to send an email with a code when signing in without a cookie for people who don't want to opt in to two steps?

The way I see it my authy is a vulnerability because if someone were to guess my authy phone number, they could technically grab all of my TOTP.

I don't get this spoon feeding. I mean I would sign up to two steps where I can but something doesn't feel right about the lack of choice.
10000% -- matplotlib for visualization of a lot of different data I've looked at, but esp things like high res images in machine learning contexts is incredibly slow, even on good computers. It does fine for small vector stuff and render once and save graphs, but it's bad for what a lot of people use it for.
Because not working well is the natural, i.e. higher-entropy, condition. Actually working is evidence of time and effort meaningfully expended, of money spent and not just pocketed or squandered.

It is not unlike the expectation that the toilet seat be left down, not up.
And I might add, bad behaviour is often encouraged in adulthood

It would be nice for Amazon to commit as well. AWS has support for only a single Yubikey, which is mostly useless, unless you don't care about being locked out of your account if you lose that one key.
IMO Google Photos (and to a lesser extent iCloud Photos) has been leaps and bounds better than FB.

Albums are shared intentionally rather than indiscriminately for anyone who you happened to click "Accept" on years ago to view. There are fewer privacy implications - I can be sure that the photos I share aren't crowbar'ed into someone else's feed.
Back in the day, yes. Today, not at all. Everything you read here is regulation, regulation, regulation.
Interesting - in the past I had read about alkaline vs acid "forming" but assumed it was sort of pseudoscience BS (maybe mainly due to people recommending expensive "alkaline" water).

The litigation on that matter is ongoing. What you said is not true right now. If you try to fight an order for your password, you'll wind up in court and probably lose, and then have to chose whether to act in contempt.
BP and Shell are vertically integrated and mostly definitely do own a large number of gas stations at least here in Europe.

Yep, exactly this. I have that setting enabled myself due to e.g. Blogspot inappropriately blocking zoom in its default mobile template — but on the other hand it does unfortunately mean that e.g. on openstreetmap.org I occasionally end up zooming the page instead of zooming the map…
