I have a friend who lives in a rural area. He'd like to build a house on some land he owns that is unsuitable for farming (too steep) but he is unable to get a construction loan from the bank as they will not write a loan that is secured only by the property. Incremental construction might be the only way to do it (assuming the county will issue him a building permit that would span 5+ years).

Being debt-free within a few years of the house being completed has a lot to be said for it. But when a loan payment is 80% or more interest at the start, that's a lot of profit for a lender to give up - they're not exactly going to be jumping at the opportunity to write those loans.
Another thing I've noticed, they should only do about a dozen episodes per year. Anything more than that, and a much higher percentage are filler.

>In 1996 they introduced strict gun control laws. Decline in gun deaths was gradual, but over some 15 years they went down by some 70%.

Gun deaths worldwide fell precipitously during that same time frame, including in the US. 1994 was the peak of gun violence, and fell almost every years since then until the BLM riots and the ACAB crowd scared cops out of doing their job.

My father would say something like that too. He insisted also to finish one contract at a time and to not take on more work than he can. Since he also planned out the work ahead of time, his mind was completely in one job.

He wouldn't even ever stop for lunch. He said he wanted to do that to leave early, but I can assume it was because the time he put into 8am-3pm was his best time to concentrate. I can understand this well now - when I had to work with him, he made me always clean up, but I was slow at it, didn't fully understand the animosity that it frustrated him. But, he needed clean areas.

Needless to say, it did stick with me (but maybe the patience took a bit more time to catch up with me :) )
Art is just a label. If we don’t call DALL-E images art then that changes nothing. It doesn’t give any struggling artists making bland album covers their job back if someone would rather have a “synthwave dog on a surfboard in space” generated for free.

Whether it’s album art or just an image on an album cover? A meaningless distinction.

Defining art as “anything born out of a conscious creative process” is fine. Any other definition is also useful. Not sure there is situation when having a strict definition is necessary. Other than for arguing what art is, that is.

No, the faster implementation uses another dedicated instruction, which happens to be more general than CRC32, i.e. the multiplication of polynomials having binary coefficients.

So this has little to do with RISC, except the general principle that the instructions that are used more frequently should be implemented to be faster, a principle that has been used by the M1 designers and by any other competent CPU designers.

In this case, ARM has added the polynomial multiplication instruction a few years after Intel, with the same main purpose of accelerating the authenticated encryption with AES. There is little doubt that ARM was inspired by the Intel Westmere new instructions (announced by Intel a few years before the Westmere launch in 2010).

The dedicated CRC32 instruction could have been made much faster, but the designers of the M1 core did not believe that this is worthwhile, because that instruction is not used often.

The polynomial multiplication is used by many more applications, because it can implement CRC computations based on any polynomial, no only that one specified for CRC32, and it can also be used in a great number of other algorithms that are based on the properties of the fields whose elements are polynomials with binary coefficients.

So it made sense to have a better implementation for the polynomial multiplication, which allows greater speeds in many algorithms, including the CRC computation.

And it's very possible the author didn't write it but an editor did. I'm not sure where one gets "racist" from the content of the article. Maybe insofar as the medical community makes blanket recommendations that arguably don't apply to/don't help black people. But it's a stretch to go from there to racism.

Do you realize how bad that is? People had to adapt to the S limitations.
This is interesting/ strange to me. I grew up in the Midwest and a modest garden in the backyard was often the case. I’ve never heard of them being banned. I don’t doubt they are some places.

I’m sure some suburban guy decided to plow his front yard and be a corn farmer, but generally I find nobody minds a garden.
> I suspect that a side-effect of the popularity of electric scooters will be that passengers will habituate a bit to seeing faster things on the sidewalks.

That's unlikely. Even if 95% of people did, there's still 5% who won't. The real problem is bad design that places preferential use lanes for cyclists too close to parked cars and expects cyclists and occupants of motor vehicles to figure it out. This results in serious injuries and deaths of cyclists.

Authorities should be encouraging cyclists to ride at least 6 feet away from parked vehicles. One way is to paint shared lane markings to guide cyclists to ride in the safest position in the general purpose lane far enough away from parked vehicles.
> Melanoma? True, the sun worshippers had a higher incidence of it—but they were eight times less likely to die from it.

> Over the 20 years of the study, sun avoiders were twice as likely to die as sun worshippers.

> Avoidance of sun exposure is a risk factor of a similar magnitude as smoking, in terms of life expectancy.

> Vitamin D now looks like the tip of the solar iceberg. Sunlight triggers the release of a number of other important compounds in the body, not only nitric oxide but also serotonin and endorphins. It reduces the risk of prostate, breast, colorectal, and pancreatic cancers. It improves circadian rhythms. It reduces inflammation and dampens autoimmune responses. It improves virtually every mental condition you can think of. And it’s free.

I'm a librarian, so I'm AWARE each time I look at my dumping grounds that I should organize them. Of course, that also feels like work, so then I don't do it.
This is totally off topic, but I am glad to see this here. Nest.js seems really powerful on the surface, when you start reading their docs [0] everything makes sense at first. But the deeper you go, the more it sets in that the complexity introduced by its "magic" results in very little being easily reasoned about. Just look at the process for building a GraphQL API [1], for example, it starts out simply enough then goes off the deep end. Decorators, dependency injection and providers within providers all the way down.

This is a very interesting theory, but also low-quality evidence. It merits further study, but hard to say that it merits any change in behavior just yet.

As far as I can tell, the "340 000" person study was finally published in 2020[1]. The study was an observational analysis of 342,000 dialysis patients. There was no attempt to measure personal exposure to UV (FTA: "it was not feasible to determine personal exposures to UV radiation and temperature"). Rather, these exposures were approximated by dialysis center zip code.

I can understand why David Fisher would say that he doesn't question the data, but doesn't agree with the implications.

>it’s fine for the US to use it’s cultural and economic hegemonic power to crush those states for making the wrong friends or choosing the wrong ideology

There's making different choices and there's 'being friendly to the Soviets which were also very much into overthrowing the US' or 'Driving double digit percentage of your own population out to the point you're a foreign policy problem' or 'undermining neighbouring states due to your 'wrong' ideology'.

> Yeah, I know, but you can have much higher requirements, even consensus.

Yes, exactly. Some things can require a consensus decision making process. Some things can require that the people agree to it through multiple rounds. Some things can be changed easily, like parking regulations in your neighborhood. Some other things should require more effort.

Thanks for countering your own original argument.
> How can a blind person shoot a gun in a responsible way?

Don’t be simple-minded. Blind people can shoot a gun responsibly the same as anyone else: be sure of your target and what’s behind it. Yes, that’s more difficult for persons that have impaired or even no usable vision, but knowing many legally blind persons I can assure you that they are responsible firearms owners.
You're using an overly specific definition of the word "root access". "root access" in the context of this conversation just means the paramount ability to decide what runs on the computer (ownership secure boot keys, ability to modify OS, ability to change or remove userspace programs).
> The British Highway Code now includes the "Dutch Reach" car door open (where you grab the door handle with the hand furthest from the door to force your body to turn, hopefully seeing inbound cyclists).

Unfortunately, it doesn't work unless you're in a convertible type vehicle. Otherwise, the B and C pillars as well as the headrest will block[1] your view of an approaching cyclist. Checking the outside/wing mirror is sufficient. The British highway code also includes a provision that says that cyclists can ride in the primary position given the situation. Riding far enough away from parked vehicles to avoid a potential dooring collision is one of them.

In the summer you'll want the surrounding ground to take away the heat, but in the winter that will be too cold, so you'll need to heat your home. There will be some (well quite a lot actually, as you don't have any insulation if you want ground cooling in the summer) waste heat transfering into the surrounding earth. Over time that will heat it up, so in the summer it'll be less effective at cooling.

This is actually why the London Underground is so hot in the summer. It wasn't always like this, but over time the ground surrounding the tunnels has heated up.

I have sensitive skin that turns red easily in the sun, especially at the locations where I have scars from acne and other injuries. With my atrophic scars, we know that UV can reduce collagen levels which would reduce the healing potential at those sites. For these reasons, I avoid UV exposure to my face as much as possible.

For fair-skinned people like me, I would recommend generously applying sunscreen to face and hands and leaving the other areas uncovered if you are out in the sun for less than an hour or so with moderate UV index, or less than 20 minutes or so with high UV index. Longer than that, consider applying sunscreen to the rest of your body as well. Of course, ymmv.

Flat file is more suited toward small, well defined with simple integration requirements. A lot of simple web sites and services fall into this category.

If there is any possible need to integrate into a larger overall system in ways that have yet to be fully imagined or defined, a DBMS might be a better option.
What missing context are you talking about?

This is 2 paragraphs after the one I quoted and it says it even more clearly:
“And yet they are being told a very different story, misled into believing that sunscreen can prevent their melanomas, which Weller finds exasperating. “The cosmetic industry is now trying to push sunscreen at dark-skinned people,” he says. “At dermatology meetings, you get people standing up and saying, ‘We have to adapt products for this market.’ Well, no we don’t. This is a marketing ploy.””

Introduce artificial limits, e.g. 10 emails in inbox, 10 online accounts, 100 saved items, etc. And if you want to add new item, you'll have to cleanup some old ones to make space, either by archiving them to some sort of "deep storage", or just deleting. Very likely, that such limits might help you to find even better ways to organize everything, instead of constantly fighting them.

So… A recession may turn out to be bad for an economy? I know economics is called the “dismal science” but this seems to undercut even low standards.

More specifically on the article’s thesis: yes, California’s tax revenue may be more sensitive to an economic downturn. But that’s due to extremely high income from startups that just doesn’t exist in other states. It’s running a budget surplus that’s something like half of all other states’ total revenue IIRC.

If that extra income disappears, people will still work, earn income, and go shopping. The state’s revenue will just revert to normal-state levels.

Hacker News has taken this weird turn to hate California to a degree usually reserved for, say, female CEOs or renewable power. This story may seem to satisfy this urge, predicting as it does a hard crash for the state. But it’s really just reporting on the altitude record the state is currently setting.

Edit, in response to the answer below: TIL, thanks! I’ll have to switch to making jokes about their Nobel being second-rate and their models being thinner and on more crack than those of the fashion world.
This whole idea of wearing helmet results riskier behavior is about bullshit as the WMD theory of Iraq invasion.

If pedal me indeed is spending resources on education and training of their employees, which they claimed allow them to maintain high standard of safety. Then, it's self evident that wearing helmet will be better, as the same training can help them overcome the tendance to be riskier wearing helmet.

There is no reason to claim that training for wearing helmet and not wearing helmet would not result into equally effective results.
Some filesystems even have very database-like features e.g. ZFS has copy-on-write snapshotting, sort-of transactions (you can run a Lua script atomically, thought it's meant to be an admin feature). And lets not forget WinFS!

Still, your average extfs/NTFS is a really bad database. There's a reason people created "real" databases, and as far as I can tell the only advantage of flat files is that you can use a text editor instead of an SQL editor to view them, which seems pretty minor given all the downsides.

SQLite is probably better in almost every scenario.
Mathematically, lotteries are forms of voting, although by most measures not very effective. (Though they have one advantage over more common forms: At least one person's preference is guaranteed to be reflected exactly.)

blender is a mesh modeler, That means the underlying represntation of the scene is a a set of surfaces connected by nodes subdivided by triangles. Its efficient and quick for 3d animation and concept art but not so great for cad design.

real cad tools like fusion360, autocad etc are parametric. they represent a shape in the form of constraints. The underlying representation of the shape is different in a way that facilitates modeling something that you are going to create a real world counterpart from.

Yes there are open source cad programs but nothing I've seen comes close to rivaling professional tools the way blender does.
I've internalized the view of "your skin is your largest organ", so I treat as one. I don't generally put things on my skin I wouldn't put in my mouth.

Most sun exposure is on the nose, ears, arms. If some sun exposure is healthy, then the best way to do it is to be completely naked and only be in the sun for 10 minutes. By exposing more surface area, you can get as much sun in 10 minutes as you would by just exposing you face for 2 hours. No burns. In engineering terms, it's like load balancing the sun across several body parts.

There was just an article I saw last year about a sunscreen recall because it contained ingredients that caused leukemia or something. Not to mention some of the mental health benefits of sun.

If you want to reduce sun exposure, probably better to shade yourself with clothes or umbrellas than put chemicals on your skin, or use something natural like zinc on sensitive areas like nose and ears.

Also, there is more red light around sunrise/sunset. That's healthier light. You want to avoid blue light (UV), which is magnified (like a magnifying glass on the atmosphere) in the middle of the day.
This doesn't tell us anything except that you disagree with most people in Rome.
