When we bought our farm it had been conventionally farmed for decades. Not even by the biggest tractors in the world. But the compaction is real, and the hard pan that develops over time is as well. Tiling and aeration release a lot of carbon into the atmosphere, and while they offer some short term benefit, they also destroy the soil structure over time. This is why “no till” is a popular buzzword these days; people are trying to find ways to replace tiling in the effort of rebuilding soil.

This isn’t new — when “Tree Crops: a permanent agriculture” was written last century, it focused on the ever depleting top soil in the United States and elsewhere, and inspired the concept of Agroforestry.
To be fair, their keyboards have line names like "Naruto" and "Doraemon", so.
Yep. A while ago, I used wkhtml2pdf to write a document in Markdown (Pandoc) and convert it to PDF.

It worked fine. There where some minor issues around page breaks. But then again, most people don't use paper for reading anymore, so I'll happily accept these minor issues over the absolute inconsistent hell that is text-selection, searching and hyperlinks in most PDFs.
If there was such an inquiry and it emerged, without doubts, that the cause of Covid was reckless funding of dangerous research by the US in a foreign country, and reckless management of dangerous pathogens research by China, what could the geopolitical consequences be? Especially considering the control both countries exerts on media?
I've used a lot of different embedded scripting languages with C and C++ and Lua is by far the most efficient and easiest to integrate one. Especially the 5.1 version is excellent and I still use it today. In what notable project have you used Lua?

Digital Ocean's pricing model lines up more with how I expect serverless to be used. It's cheaper for APIs that are very simple and lightweight, but need to be able to handle infinite traffic. I like it. I think it incentives people to use it correctly.
Leave it to the HN user base to be the most credulous people alive when it comes to China. Every time there’s a blatant US-funded think tank generated hit piece on China, the hackers lap it up and start grandstanding about the glory of the West.
At some point in the near future, I think we might have "good enough" AI voice acting. That could open some interesting possibilities, eh?
> Clearly not, with slow settlement and high transaction costs

The secondary and tertiary layers are still not worked out yet. I don't follow lightning closely and I'll take your word that it is in a miserable state, however I don't see a fundamental problem. But even now I'm pretty sure Bitcoin is faster and cheaper than anything else for settling high value irreversible, remote transactions.

I think Bitcoin has plenty of potential but right now it's at a point where speculators are vastly outnumbering any other uses. So its potential non speculative uses are invisible or even hindered. It's also hindered because it doesn't have the backing of a powerful government forcing its use upon its citizens. The fundamentals are all still valid and nothing you mentioned proves that it cannot ever work as a currency. One that isn't controlled by a central bank and fractional reserve system that continually erodes the currency's purchasing power.

Martin Luther King put this rather clearly -- one is judging on the content of a person's character, the other is judging on the color of a person's skin.
I really dislike this form of content.

In this comment, I will tell you about this somewhat new way to write content on the internet.

But first, I must explain to you what is the internet.

The internet is a network of many computers in which anybody can write what they think and publish for anybody to see.

On the interent people find stuff with search engines such as google.

Eventually, marketers came up with SEO. Click here to find out about SEO.

With SEO people started to game google to get more people to read their content. Those poeple write like this. I'm imitating their way of writing because it is less annoying to me when I also write this way.

Should you write in this way too?

Studies show that wiriting like this lets you place more ads in your website.

But what about readability?

What do you mean? The economics and decision-making are different between one-person companies through small and large organizations. When you have to know to to do everything, and fix anything, it is a problem when there is complexity, and you lack control. As organizations get larger, there is more value from abstractions and more leeway for their use.

In many ways it is a luxury to be able to use said abstractions and be able to open a ticket with someone else. Of course, a single-person startup could use the same tech, but it seriously impacts their costs and they don't have time to deal with the sprawl of abstractions.
We have a K2 and Q1 (more than 1.5kg!), both will yellow Gaterons, and they are just so great to work with. I don't know what Logitech's marketing was thinking, they seem to have stripped all that is fun about mechnical keyboards from the product and created something exceptionally lame.

Right/left swipes are used for back. They're a lot more problematic than up/down because screens are narrow and tall, so it's easier to confuse the back gesture.

Anyway that's clearly not the reason - Google switched back and forth years before navigation gestures were a thing.
Anyone else feel sad coming across something like this? So many hours spent for a product that is largely forgotten. Glad to see the pieces out in the open though.
I was here to tell you that non-sobriety doesn't always imply rape, which you claimed it did. Then I told you about how I am fortunate not to have to draw the actual line that determines what is rape legally, because it is hard to do. So, naturally I'm not interested in following this line of hypotheticals. I've never personally had issues identifying consent, never been accused of rape. Maybe I've been lucky, maybe I've made the right choices regarding partners. It's beside the point that I came to make. You seem to have made yours as well.

A tank is protected direct firepower. Your definition neglects light tanks, which have their uses (primarily in air mobile operations). A Merkava is a tank because it's point is the firepower, not troop carrying. A Bradley is not a tank because the point is the troop carrying, not the firepower.

There may be talk of tanks going to 152mm, but that's not a talk for NATO. NATO doesn't use 152mm anyways, and the predicted next iteration is 140mm. Heavy ERA is possibly sufficient against Sabot, and APS is looking at being able to intercept sabot is well (mostly in the form of knocking the penetrator down.

There's nothing technically stopping an IFV from carrying a MBT grade gun (Styrker MGS carried gun equivalent to the original M1). Similarly, there remains interest in use of hyper velocity missiles for anti-tank use (which gets up to APFSDS speed, but doesn't need the gun to do so. See KEM/CKEM. And many of the IFVs use APFSDS ammo (Rheinmetal makes it).
Another poster just finished saying images and tables are hard. Why the disconnect do you think?
May seem pedantic but it’s important to add some framing here:

How do I find experts that care about helping a person they have no connection to with a problem for no reward?

There’s lots of easy to access experts on every subject, however, you’re asking for their time for free: that’s a very different proposition.

If you’re happy to pay, just tweet or post on LinkedIn asking for an expert and offer to compensate them fairly, you’ll have offers in no times.

I’d argue the problem is not that the forums are gone, it’s that people aren’t looking to help for free when there’s so many other ways to put value out into the world — better run a podcast about your favourite subject than answer emails about it.
I worry about putting people like this under the spotlight, especially if their mental health might not be the best.

Most any textbook should do provided that you read it in full, take notes, and do the assignments at least in part. As a mathematics major in college I didn’t actually understand a thing my professors were talking about. It wasn’t until I spent time with the book that I understood. Sometimes it took multiple semesters to get a single concept like Fourier transforms.
In 1999, I was editing a telecom industry standard as an intern and, of course, decided to use LaTeX instead of Word. The seasoned industry veterans on the technical committee were super impressed with my “Word” abilities and wondered if I could share my much-improved template with them.

It suffices to say that I hastily hired a friend in school to work over the weekend converting the beautiful LaTeX into Word.
I've been using Keyboard.io Model 01 boards for a few years now as my daily drivers for typing, ever since they arrived from backing the Kickstarter campaign. For my broad-shouldered build, the split has been good for my shoulders, elbows, wrists and fingers while the ortholinear key arrangement seems to be good for my wrists and fingers as well. Those shipped with Mathias Quiet Click (or optionally Clicky) switches soldered.

I like them enough I've also backed the Model 100 for two boards. These boards are socketed and have a wider variety of switches available. The top enclosure has also switched from maple to walnut.

It's difficult to answer. From my understanding, women are more sensitive towards social repercussions than men are. Which means even if men and women have an equal desire to be violent to get what they want or to derive pleasure from it, you'll always see less women than men do it on an equal playing field with noticeable catch rates and punishments.

If you give women (relative) safety to commit violence and give them the ability to do so, they end up doing so in about equal rates. If you give them less repercussions than men, they end up doing it more. Teen violence is one which is noticeably weighted "in favor" of boys. Not that difficult to understand why, when boys are taught not to hit girls, but girls aren't taught the same and face little consequence in doing so.

Not that it really matters. Truth is, both sexes are very much capable of violence, and both sexes have more than enough people willing to do so once the "benefits" outweigh the costs.
> Every member state can veto every EU commission proposal

This is just false

But the commission can't do much without the agreement of parliament and the member states as a collective (even though member states can be outvoted by other member states) and it can't do anything that parliament and the member states as a collective explicitly oppose
I was a little kid when Morrowind came out and I remember the first time I saw it. My family got takeout and we had rented Kung Pow: Enter The Fist. My older brother wanted the couch to himself so he could lie down while we watched the movie and he told me if I got off the couch he'd show me something cool later. Turns out that something cool was Morrowind. I remember he was playing an Argonian because he switched to third-person and for some reason that blew my mind. I tried installing it on the crappy PC we had out in the living room for us kids but I never got it running, I think it didn't support the required DirectX version. Many fond memories associated with that game.
Yes, IIRC it was a special "warm start" boot mode. Rebooting into different game modes wasn't that uncommon.
Not only does that not make sense…it doesn’t make sense! Why would unpayable ransoms be higher? And my argument is that in fact, “open[ing] up the ease of payment” enables a new form of monetizing activity, so it is a new incentive because it unlocks a new business model.

I have the exact opposite story to tell. A friend of mine asked me to convert a 300 pages Word document to LaTeX, because Word couldn’t handle it. It was text, mostly, so it worked out quite well.
> Opened the website. Almost everything out of stock.

Amazon seems to have no problem stocking up on Akko keyboards. The ones I'm seeing listed as out of stock on Akko's page seem to be low-volume special editions with custom keycaps.

But again, I'm not a sales representative. Anyone interested in mechanical keyboards surely is able to use Google to find decent offers. I doubt Logitech products will feature in anyone's shortlist though.
That does't occur in modern browsers and is actually a privacy feature that prevents your searches from leaking to the sites you click on, generally in very old browsers that need to use our non-JavaScript site (http://duckduckgo.com/html). See https://help.duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/results/rd... for details. From that page:

**

When you click on a link in our results page, your search terms are not sent to the site that you click on, which can be the case on other search engines due to something called HTTP "referers".

On modern browsers we accomplish this by adding a small piece of code to our page called Meta referrer. Some browsers (especially older ones) do not support this standard, however. For those browsers, and also in situations where meta referrer doesn't work, we send the request back to our servers to remove search terms. This redirect goes through r.duckduckgo.com.

You can disable this privacy feature. To do that, go to the settings page, select Privacy, and change the option Redirect to Off.

I am not a gamer. The price gouging on things gamers enjoy is irritating. It happened with headphones, mice, and now keyboards. As “gamers” and particularly streamers grew as a market category, the prices for goods associated with them went insane. Even considering inflation, $150 for a Logitech keyboard is just nuts, even if it is mechanical.
Digital Ocean is great for spammers because Digital Ocean does not care to be a good internet citizen. Being a good internet citizen would be too expensive, so DO just throws up its hands and does nothing about its spamming customers.
They did in Elder Scrolls Online. I didn't play that much of it but it's from an earlier time period than in the normal TES Morrowind. It was fun for the sightseeing at least.
People who are complaining often aren't soliciting advice and don't welcome it if offered. I think the "damn that's crazy" responses generally come from people who are aware that offered help won't be warmly received and don't have the emotional energy to put on a more convincing display of empathy, but still pay lip service to the premise for the sake of civility.

But the exact opposite would be "What does that have to do with me?"

Although I know Katherine Johnson was African-American, by looking at pictures of her [1] she actually looks white-skinned to me. Was she considered of black ancestry because of the "one-drop rule" in the USA at the time? Or maybe she was more dark-skinned in her youth and it's only in recent color photographs that she looks white?

Honest question, as here in Europe that woman would be considered "white" if judging from her physical appearance alone. Although I know that there is more than skin color to the American concept of "race".

The title of the post is editorialized ("Walmart delivery drones selling photo surveillance service"), perhaps misleadingly.

The actual article title is "Walmart expands its drone-delivery service to reach 4 million households" and this is the relevant section:

> Walmart will use the drones to make money in another way, too. It said it plans to offset the cost of deliveries by selling photographs taken by drones to municipalities and local business, such as construction or real estate companies. The revenue will be split with the drone operator.

I wouldn't call selling selling drone photos of houses for sale to real estate agents a "photo surveillance service."
Waiting for a standardized approach to serverless that lets us just write the code once and deploy to _any_ cloud provider. Right now, all of these products (aws, azure, do, etc) seem to have, at least, slight differences that would make it not possible to switch to another provider without some code changes.

Why would you buy a wireless keyboard for "daily work" which needs to be "no-fuss"?

You are putting your security at risk (who knows whether the encryption is secure or whether the Logitech drivers are backdoored), as well as your convenience since you'll need to charge it periodically and there's a good chance you'll forget it (or forgot to buy disposable batteries if that's what it uses) and be completely unable to use the keyboard for a while, and it will have more latency and may even fail to work due to interference; on top of that, you'll pay more for these drawbacks.

You should really only buy a wireless keyboard for very specialized needs where you need to move it around while not also moving the PC with it.
I'd argue that when you're doing it properly, the cable is responsible for at least 50% of the aesthetic of any nice keyboard setup.

Going wireless would be considerably less visually interesting than what you can do with a nice, attractive cable. (but I'll concede that wireless is heaps better than using the ugly/boring/fragile thin black cables that typically get bundled in with keyboards at no additional cost)
SSLMate it is a certificate reseller with a convenient (for me) interface – a CLI program. It's no fun copy-pasting certificates from email attachments.

I'm using both RSA and ECDSA certificates (RSA for compatibility with old clients, ECDSA for efficiency). I'm not sure but looks like ECDSA is not yet generally available from Lets Encrypt.

On sops: the secrets (passwords, API keys, access tokens) are sitting in an encrypted file ("vault"). When a Fabric task needs secrets to fill in a configuration file template, it calls sops to decrypt the vault. My Yubikey starts flashing, I tap the key, Fabric task receives the secrets and can continue.

Hi Greg, I'm sorry that you were abused. I assume because you put "Cub Scout Troop" by your signature, that you were abused in Cub Scouts?

I imagine there are a bunch of parents that read HN that have their kids in Scouts. So this never happens again to any other kid in Scouting: they should know that the BSA has Youth Protection Training (YPT) which has clear rules that state there should be no private one-on-one contact between adults and children.

If anyone's Pack, Troop, or Crew is not following that simple rule, they need to report it. First start at the unit committee, and if that doesn't work, contact the Council.

Of course if you suspect abuse and not just a violation of the rules, contact the authorities.

Anyone can take YPT (you don't have to be a member of the BSA), just create a "My Scouting" account and take the online training.

Additionally, if the unit is chartered by a church, make sure everyone is also taking that church's version of youth protection training as well (The Catholic Church calls it Safe Haven, the Episcopal Church calls it Safegaurding God's Children, etc).

As a parent, you should make sure every parent and adult volunteer in your unit is trained. When everyone knows the rules, then we can make sure they are being followed to prevent abuse from happening.

The sad fact is that ever since the BSA came out with YPT in the 1970s, children are more likely to be abused in churches and schools than in Scouting.

(I'm an adult volunteer in Scouting, and I take this issue very seriously. I want to help make the future a better place, and that starts with our children.)

There were several other mistakes there, but the most annoying to me was this hand-waving between correlation and causation. Sure, crypto boomed during a period of intense QE. There were also unprecedented cash payments for everyone and a big supply shock. I think the author's analysis of the relationship between inflation and BTC was equally dumb, simply noticing an inverse correlation.

I'm totally not a crypto apologist btw, just pointing out inaccuracies.
Meh, at the end of the day it is wasted effort. In my experience fund-raising staff were the most talented/educated people I worked with, they could be doing something better with their time and I could be doing something better with my money. You're right that the government is the biggest loser here, and by extension anyone who pays taxes or uses government services. The ability to write-off donations against taxes is a major distortion. There's a lot of fuzzy dealing, politics, and influence peddling going on with charities that I think we'd be better off as a society without.
