I mean that learning everything about Music theory can not guarantee you will ever be able to have the natural skills required to be a professional musician. And you give a guitar to a few adolescents, and in a few weeks some will be at the same stage while others while come back to you playing most songs they hear on the radio.

What I think is toxic is to make many believe they can get a Computer Science education and become a professional Software Developer. The same way finishing a five year Music degree might still mean somebody is terrible at the Piano.
>>The level of downvoting and non-engagement about my comments you can observe on HN is just a symptom of a humanity that simply don't care above the surface layer of attention nor care deeply about the human condition and is auto-persuaded, in a self-fulfiling prophethy manner that those topics are already well explored by the institutions

Part of it is the presentation of your commentary alienates the reader, doesn't inspire confidence, and contains many hallmarks of cranks or conspiracy theorists

- absolute declarative sentences

- run-on sentences

- switching between loosely connected topics

- switching back and forth between social criticisms and scientific evidence

- Flippant language and mocking attitudes (eg lols)

- Self aggrandizement

For all I know you may have a valid scientific point, but you are ringing the same alarm bells as the lunatic on the street-corner.

To be fair, do macbooks and frameworks really share a target market? Apple defines itself by "do it the Apple way and everything just works." Framework is all about "customize it your way and it works." The Venn diagram in my head doesn't have a lot of overlap.

If you want the Mac experience on a Linux device, perhaps you'd be happier with an ubuntu preinstalled Dell or Thinkpad. If you do things the ubuntu way, I'd say the Apple "just works" guarantee applies.

The point is that it's a more efficient way to travel. Both in time (you travel in your sleep), and energy/pollution. And it's more comfortable (or in this case luxurious) than the cattle-drive experience of air travel.

It is more expensive, though. But that's also because air travel gets lots of subsidies and doesn't pay for externalities. That should change.
I've recently been faced with an opportunity that has put me somewhat in a similar situation.

I'm lucky that I have someone somewhat close to the team that I can ask for feedback on the solutions I come up with, which are not always the best, to be honest.

I very much know the feeling of "what I find plainly obvious is not to others". My solution to it has been strong emphasis on knowledge sharing and education. It doesn't matter if I go slower as long as the team in general starts going faster.

With the knowledge sharing I've also been able to share more of the load of the architecture, because my teammates also understand what's the guiding principle (or at the very least, they know that the "weird pattern" they see in the code has a purpose and they try to follow it).

They still come to me frequently with questions. I have spent many hours explaining the same thing to the same group of people, every time they have new questions.

Personally, I've noticed a reduced reliance of the team on me as a consequence of my knowledge sharing efforts. The team has also noticed it and at least one of them has commented on it positively.

> anybody who can tell the difference between two strings of characters can detect whether a token is a forgery or not, it does not take an expert.

Yes, but the value is not in the token, it's in the art itself. You don't own anything but the NFT itself, not the artwork it refers to. Artwork that goes public domain 50/75 years+ after the artist death anyway (and is way easier to replicate than physical artwork/copies).

As for exchanges. Banks and auctions do not uphold things either, they're the same kind of operators of principles they don't write, they are merely applying the rule of law and use their credentials for that purpose.

As for impersonation, NFTs-as-certificates are of no impact for notable artists, who already have teams and networks that do this work for them (with old or new techs).
Easy/manageable/controllable art certificates really have an impact when available first to small and emerging artists (because that's the crucial when and where they do need this kind of foundations and support for their living).
If this works out this will be great for the environment and the prevention of future pandemics!

Hope you guys succeed!

They took over the DB lines, incidentally bringing back sleeper trains from/to the Netherlands after a short absence, and I think rolling stock as well. ÖBB is certainly delivering on its promise. We took the sleeper train from Arnhem to Innsbruck and back just this month for a trip to the North of Italy (which is just two hours on the EuroCity from Innsbruck). The rolling stock is ageing a bit, but it's clean and has great service.

I was also pleasantly surprised by the fast, no-fuss refund of 25% when our return trip was delayed for 65 minutes. After alighting, on the next train, I arranged for the €80 to be refunded in just five minutes of entering the relevant details through their chat bot.

Experience differs depending on hardware. My Dell XPS 13 got 7hrs out of the box on Manjaro, which I tweaked to get to 8.5-9. On ubuntu I didn't have to bother with the tweaks. That's comparable to Windows on this device...
This is a trick a lot of ICs are quite good at: because of the protection diodes on the inputs and outputs of most chips, voltage on the pins will also pull the internal power of the chip up if the power pins are not energised. A lot of chips will run quite happily like this until either all the IO pins supplying power go low or the IC draws enough current to damage the diodes (which aren't generally designed to continously conduct). I have on one occasion had a power IC (stepper motor driver) manage the same trick for a few minutes, which was very unusual and made debugging a lot harder (because of course the power pins are connected, it was running just a few minutes ago!)

Biotechnology, not magic. Different places have their own unique populations of mould, bacteria and mites that get into the cheese, which greatly affects the taste and texture.

Culturally Americans are terrified of finding such things in their food supply, so it's easy to understand why they don't hold these protected designations of origin in high regard, nor are likely to do much to replicate the effects in their domestic versions.
YC-backed Stablegains faces lawsuit after losing $44M by investing in UST
In terms of business when you can buy a 30 euro easy jet ticket or a 200 euro train ticket, not a lot of people are going to be able to afford the train. In many parts of Europe, trains are not price competitive with air connections. And also a lot slower.

Here in Germany, there are a lot of domestic flights under 1 hour that connect places that would be 4-6 hours away by train. Even with the inconvenience of being treated like cattle, having to travel for an hour to get to and from the airport on both ends, etc. it's still a net gain. And often it's cheaper too. And it's the difference between needing a hotel or being able to travel back and forth on a single day. Early morning and evening flights are usually packed.

Trains should be dirt cheap but they aren't. A round trip to my parents with a 4.5 hour train journey costs me around 110 Euros every time I do it. The fuel expenses for the same journey by car are about the same.

Reason: Deutsche Bahn is a state protected monopoly that has little to no real competition and is run in a super inefficient way. So companies that have to burn enormous amounts of kerosene are able to compete on price. That's insane. There are buses competing with train journeys in Germany charging 30-40% of the train ticket price. Sometimes less. Do buses have better fuel economy than trains? Of course they don't.

So, yes, these luxury trains will be drop in the ocean in terms of actually cutting down on that. I doubt they will be profitable at all. At those prices, filling the trains will be a challenge. Though there is a market for people with a conscious and a wallet that want to go places but feel bad about flying there.

Ask HN: 6-hour workdays more important than 4-day workweeks IMO
Standard work hours here is 9am-6pm, so 9 hours and I used to stay 10+ hours in the office often. before covid was another hour commute daily which meant pretty much not having any sun. New girl at work has a kid and told me she thought it was crazy staying past 3-4pm, and it dawned on me how right she is. pretty much everyone finished working by 7pm - many stores, restaurants are already closed before I even had a chance. Also after 6 hours the effectiveness or quality of work declines.

I got nothing against 4 day workweeks - I myself work part time, but I rather work 2-4 hours for even 6 days a week and I'd like to see this approach more popularized. Anyone else feels like this?

I think I cover that. Company does not equal backer. Bad behaviour by company is not the responsibility of investors, it’s the responsibility of the board, the exec, and ultimately the courts. Investors can shape and influence, investors hopefully provide a filter and feedback, but everyone can get swept up in a good story. Company should be caned. Yc? I’ve already said what I feel.

Hahah. Reminds me of the time I used to work at a place where the software's demo company was called ISIS and that didn't used to be a big deal until ISIS itself became a thing. Part of our solution contained a web-portal we could up-sell to our clients that their end users could manage their accounts through etc. Anyway I remember one fun afternoon hacking graphics of ISIS the terrorist organization into the web-portal of the demo org and showing it around the office for laughs. It never made it to a customer site thankfully and it was pretty funny at the time but my boss told me to cut it out pretty quick just in-case hahaha.
>The current outbreaks in Europe and the U.S. are different and very concerning.

This is an understatement. Since the virus was first discovered in humans in 1970 there have been ~1500 documented cases, almost all in sub-Saharan Africa. Since this outbreak started with a single case in the UK back on May 7, there are now 70+ cases in Europe (mostly UK and Portugal, but also Spain, Sweden, Italy, and Belgium), a cluster of at least 17 cases in Canada (Montreal), a case in Australia, and 2 cases in the US (MA and NY). It's been less than 2 weeks since that first case and we know that the typical incubation period for monkeypox is 7-14 days.
> "Loud pipes save lives" is nonsense. When a driver is concentrated on visual stimuli, has his windows up and music playing, there are no pipes loud enough to make him notice me.

As a former motoryclist with very loud pipes (and also an open air filter, which is just as bad or worse), I can tell you it‘s not just that. Exhaust noise emitted by a motorcycle is way louder behind the it than in front of it, especially when you and the bike are moving in the same direction. I have no hard numbers to back up this claim, but I once switched bikes with a buddy and while my bike was almost inaudible when I was driving in front of him, I was shocked how loud it was driving 200 m / 1/8 mile behind him.

The reason I like lab grown meat is not (necessarily) because of reduced suffering, but because in the future, I can get a very high quality cut of meat for much cheaper than today, simply because cuts of meat differ mainly in their amalgamation of fat and muscle cells, and if you control the entire cell cultivation process, well, you can reorder the fat and muscle cells in whatever way you want.
Despite my unbounded sense of optimism about everything in life, something makes me think there might be more situations like this ahead (it's a sign that software is being written and distributed more widely, which is good - and a sign that running tons of arbitrary code on all our machines and internetworking them all might lead to difficult-to-answer questions around compromise).

So to harness that optimism again: it's a challenge and an opportunity to build the correct collaboration and analytical tools to audit codebases quickly and effectively in a distributed environment.
But there's the weird limitation that procedural macros have to be in a separate crate.
Great, but doesn't using plastic for surfaces exposed to a great amount of wear and tear, add to the microplastic problem?

Not really difficult per se, but more of anecdotal experience of needing dedicated time to maintain it internally. In a smaller company a few years back, whenever an update was due we would have some down time after it and someone had to spend a morning checking the server/dependencies/configs, this was around 2016.

Apart from that, a fact is that gitea is less resource hungry, so it runs well even in modest configurations.

Don’t hold your breath. The Java community has been trying to do that forever and no cigar. C/C++ is still the #1 language for high-performance software. Developers who hasn’t worked on high-performance software always underestimate how hard it is to compete with C/C++ when it comes to raw performance. Which is why new high-performance projects are started every day using C/C++.

I live on a main road but have good double glazing.

However, there are a few things I can still hear:

* Sirens - though these are relatively infrequent and necessary so I don't mind them.

* People playing music extremely loudly. I can feel the bass vibrations even though I'm more than 10 metres from the road.

* Lorries with unbalanced loads.

* Motorbikes/mopeds with modified exhausts.
That's assuming it comes straight down. Given that most people are somewhere around one to two metres tall, if it came in at a shallow angle it could ruin hundreds of people's day.
> The thing about pure black isn't that it's unnatural, but that when paired with white its contrast can actually be uncomfortable and less accessible than a slightly toned down color combination (especially on full brightness).

Can you find a citation for that statement? WCAG 2.1[0] mentions minimum contrast, but not maximum. The success criterion page itself is written in #000 on #fff. :)

There is the "European" siren (Martinshorn in German) which is just two tones (typically a' followed by d'') and sounds like [1]. There is also a slightly higher pitched version used by vehicles stationed inside cities.

It's still loud, but subjectively less stress inducing and objectively easier to locate. The most obvious feature is that you can very easily tell if the emergency vehicle is moving towards you or away from you as well as the approximate relative speed because the doppler shift is really easy to pick up by ear.

Why getting rid of debt ? I think that if your job is secure then on the contrary it seems like the perfect time to borrow as much as you can at fixed rates to benefit from inflation..
Seems counterintuitive but those are all things people should do when things are going smoothly. Now would be the time to take calculated risks, bet on a few horses and lean on savings etc. if necessary. Now would be the time for courage and a sharp view. There will be stronger things that emerge, that’s where you want to be.
