My father's family lost everything in the Great Depression. His earliest memories were of moving out of the mansion into successively smaller houses. My mom is the daughter of refugees who often went hungry in their early years in the US. When I was growing up in the 80s, we lived in relatively wealth, but I thought we were poor. We had economizing rituals that are laughable in retrospect: we'd save everything including used tin cans, we would share a single teabag for making tea at breakfast, nothing ever got replaced if it could be fixed (Dad still keeps an 1980s-era microwave working, although over the years he's had to replace half the components on the main board).

My parents' house is now probably worth millions. They had careers and have savings and are living out a very comfortable retirement. There's a house full of stuff that I'll have to deal with one day. It will be hard, but I will try to look at it as a meditation on the challeneges they went through and how they coped.

I expect one of the hardest parts to be books. I was raised to think of books as practically sacred. Every inch of the house is stacked deep in books: art books, science books, old books, mass market books ... Libraries might want 1% of them, but they'd sell the others at fundraisers for a nickel or maybe just send them off to be pulped.

There's also my dad's old computer stuff. I think there's a PDP-11 rotting in the garage. When I was a kid, there was a big old analog computer out there. I suspect these will be re-homable.
Why is everyone acting like this is not already a solved problem? Heirs are not forced to spend hundreds of hours sifting through their parents stuff... If that is too much of a burden, just call up the nearest estate sale company. They will do it all for you.

How will preventing two layers of unelected officials from dictating the law tear the country apart?
As a follow up, I’d like to try expressing the same with constraints instead of a grid. E.g.:

$image is at the top left, xy-padded by P, which is 5% of its width. To the right of it x-padded by P on both sides is a $textblock, with a minimum width of that of the image, aligned by top. If their natural/defined minimums make them not fit the width of the screen, $textblock goes below the $socialbtns padded by P/2, aligned by width of $image. $socialbtns are below the image aligned to the left, y-padded by P/2.

This should be expressed more formally, but you get the idea. Why can’t we just do this and instead have to solve some unique puzzle by hand every time we need some layout?

(Made few edits to constraints, now seems fine)
To be somewhat fair to SPIR-V, I suspect that backend compilers either trivially recover nonlocal breaks/continues using a form of jump threading, or are in a situation where they can't do it anyway because of how divergence/reconvergence is implemented (using explicit masking registers).

On the other hand, it is somewhat silly not to allow nonlocal breaks, when they are de facto supported because there are no restrictions on where you can return from a function.
Cheaper, how? Are we looking only at production cost, or total lifetime? How much energy does a button use over its lifetime, vs a checkbox on a LED screen?
I am not a designer, so would like to see any tool for that (and maybe good to already have some stock items) rather then start from scratch with professional design software.

You start with something secure and rudimentary and add features over time.

You don't start with something unsecure and then add security to it.

> Not only do you get the (small) benefits of the cashback or points

Maybe in the US - in Europe where interchange is capped, credit card rewards aren't worth it. Not to mention, I like my privacy and don't want to deal with any rewards or offers programs anyway.

> but you have added fraud protection also.

In practice, all the fraud I've been victim of always fit within the card networks' dispute resolution rules. The only time I can think of this being necessary is airlines that go bust (where a card network dispute would technically succeed but fails because there's literally no money to claim back anymore).

> where I am the payment is automatically done every month from your bank account. There is 0 chance of missing a payment, as long as you have a sufficiently positive floating balance in your account. If someone do not, then I would question their suitability for a credit card in the first place.

Regarding the lock, hurry and do that. My family lost the combination to our safe when my dad passed away, and it was a long time before we regained access (found the note eventually).
Unfortunately that's true. These days it's just cheaper and easier to place everything on a screen rather than using anything physical. Imagine that voice recognition gets even better, then it would be even cheaper to have nothing but a speaker and a microphone. Touchscreens and capacitive buttons have a number of issues that physical controls don't, but (unfortunately?) they're usually cheaper, last longer and are much more convenient for the manufacturers so they're not going anywhere. Tactile feedback, a fixed spatial position and being "always on" are now luxuries.
It's slightly more complicated, it's more like there's 3-5-ish major parties. If you take the Liberal party, the Liberal National Party of Queensland and the National Party. Those form the Coalition conservative block. Then there's Labor who form the Center Left, and the Greens who are the progressive Left.

Importantly whilst 90% of the seats may be in 4 distinct parties, that form two opposing sides, The Coalition suffered the loss of seats to independents recently. Labor voters in these electorates were able to vote 1 for the ALP and then send there preference to an independent in order to tactically vote against the liberals ruling party. This effect can be seen by the reduced labor vote in these electorates.

3D QLC NAND, which is what all cheap consumer SSDs are transitioning to, is pretty bad, like 1/10th the durability of common 3D TLC NAND from 3 years ago. And 1/100th the durability of even non 3d MLC NAND from 2014.

Enterprise class 3D TLC NAND is relatively close to enterprise class non 3D MLC NAND, the gap is bigger for consumer drives.

But I think as of 2022 only Apple still sells consumer desktops/laptops with entirely TLC NAND. Everyone else is racing to the bottom for their consumer stuff.
Being an adult for some years now after the changes in childhood and early adulthood surely is interesting with regards to stuff.

As a kid, you outgrow things so quickly that you often pass them along before they break down, or they break faster due to, well, being a kid. It's natural that things come and go quickly. This rhythm is very different in different times of life. I'm not done pondering it yet.

This is unfortunately expected behavior and a bullet dodged. The only exception would be that this startup likely was expecting to get a funding round to close soon, and because of the recent shifts, VC dollars are drying up. That said, there is still money moving to tech companies.

I despise touch controls in almost everything, from cars to home appliance, in my opinion the only reason they're replaced physical controls is because it's simply cheaper to make and people just got used to them because manufacturers convinced them through marketing "it's the future! be modern!". For example an induction hob at my wife's parents home - recently my mother-in-law couldn't turn it on because some cryptic key icon was flashing, I had to look into the manual to find out it's a children protection mode that is turned on and off by holding the key icon for 3 seconds, I didn't even know you can press it and it's so easy in general to accidentally press various things when cooking, sometimes you don't even notice that you have accidently changed the temperature.
In 2016, between NY and CA, Democrats got 13,309,912 votes out of a total of 136,669,276, or 9.74% of the popular vote. Because of winning NY and CA, they got 84/538 electoral votes, or 15.61%.

Technically, you also need to figure in the fact that by winning NY and CA it also means that some Republican votes in that popular vote denominator are also removed, so it gets a bit more complicated, but here's the full math if you want to check it.

From energy source to wheel, hydrogen is not very efficient.

Battery electric vehicle: 73%
Fuel cell vehicle: 22%
Internal combustion engine: 13%

https://insideevs.com/news/332584/efficiency-compared-batter...

Add do this that most of the distribution network for electricity is already in place, large scale, which for hydrogen you have to build it.

We have had an electric car as our only vehicle since 2016 without any issues. We drive about 20 000 km/year. Our relatively small solar panel installation (7 kWp, 59 degrees north) generates about the electricity our car uses on a yearly basis.

Optimal formulas usually have a very strong subjective component. It makes them very hard to find via search. It also makes them hard to package and recommend as a package.

Personally I had this problem you described for many years and even found that it powered overwork and workaholism cycles.

What I did was shift the perspective from the work/rest dichotomy to the reflect/program dichotomy.

Work and rest were clouding the other out. There is too much awkward overlap. For example there are types of rest that can't effectively be scheduled on demand, but which will be felt to still require work. And there are types of work that will require intentional rest or forbearance. So both of these situations leave you with a problem of a dichotomy that breaks or hinders your ability to execute appropriately.

My system involves a lot of different prompts that get at the intuitive day-state in this kind of case.

What I want is a sense of where I'm at metaphorically and emotionally (interests, values), as a way to be comfortable and ride the current wave. Examples of tools I use:

https://www.friendlyskies.net/maybe/intuition-cues-for-advan...

https://www.friendlyskies.net/maybe/frontdooring-a-new-form-...

(I'm offering these but also offering them as examples of things I built myself, that you may need to build for yourself)

These tools will help me understand: What is this time good for? What kind of schedule is appropriate for that?

The schedule, even if loose, and quite different, is still worth aiming for. I also refer to this schedule as a program and consider it central to computer programmer psychology (personal theory).

I also set a sort of meta-timer on my watch or desktop during these times, usually from 15m to 30m intervals. This is associated with a meta-loop framework with things like: Hydrate, stretch, ask if switching contexts is appropriate, and so on.

Overall this is less of an optimization issue now that I understand one's lifetime as less in one's full control. There will always be some annoying chaos, and psychology has taught us that denying it can be very unhealthy and even make it stronger.

In order to have more control over the chaotic parts one must first be willing to understand the voice of the chaos as fundamentally opposed to dictation and turn it into a lightly-structured listening and checking-in exercise. (You can view chaos as fundamentally tractable to processes based in some depth of consideration, and intractable to blanket, machine-like dictation)

Just some of my own perspectives--good luck.

PS I've shared my text file structure in recent comments as well.
Honestly tomatoes gene edited with natural pesticides like caffeine (from coffee) or Caspian (from jalapeno) sounds like an amazing niche in the market. (Spicy tomato sounds good).

Especially considering that the genes for both of those natural pesticides are probably already mapped.

not necessarily. It really comes down to how the market sets the price per impression. If the impression cost is ultimately set by conversions, removing the bots will simply raise the price for impressions and you end where you started.

You are not supposed to "identify" anything on UNIX-like operating systems; that is what the file(1) command is for, specifically, especially so since the entire concept of UNIX is that everything is a stream of bytes.

Attempting to manually manage files in this way defeats the purpose of the OS abstracting it away for the user; and the users of your executable should not have to care what your executable is written in because you grew up on a PC-bucket whose operating system stems from CP/M -> MS-DOS!

> Their business model is a 1 to 3 percent fee on every transaction they are involved in.

In Europe and the UK, interchange is capped to a level that wouldn't support running a financial institution.

> They make money on interest also

Interest only gets charged a month after (at least on most UK credit cards), so if you're using it "the right way" and paying it off every month you will never incur any interest. It's good for you but ultimately proves that credit card providers rely on the (generally less financially-savvy) people who don't/can't use it "the right way" and incur interest or fees. That's honestly a pretty predatory business model I have no interest in supporting.

> My credit card company sends me a notification when a statement is ready and another friendly reminder a week before the bill is due.

True but why should I even statements and bills for spending what is my money in the first place? My argument is that you should only use a credit card when you actually need credit and not to merely game a broken system.

This probably is a difference in PoV based on how many of your elections are multi-winner versus single-winner.

Last time I had to buy a microwave, I intentionally sought out one with two knobs: time and power. It would be very hard to improve on the UX that provides.
I'm not sure I agree. The UK doesn't have a presidential system, but have first past the post and essentially have a 2 party system, with a small sprinkle of a third party.
"For proportional representation and a multi-party system, you need to elect more than one candidate from an electoral district. At least 5 I think. 5 to 10."

You can apply the proportional factor to a state or the whole country.
Yup. You would have thought HN would care about the truth rather than just reading headlines and assuming the worst. I imagine very few people here are even using the DDG browser.
The US as a whole does not. Individual states do. The federal system isn't set up for referenda. I don't believe they're mentioned in the constitution anywhere.

As much as I enjoy hating DDG, this is about their browser, not their search engine. I doubt many people use their browser at all, so this doesn't impact as many people as the title implies.
Privacy is not binary. There are degrees of it and it's dependent on context.

The problem here is that DDG promotes itself as a highly private service and at the same time makes a deal to share tracking data with (arguably) one of the worst privacy offenders.

This makes them substantially less privacy-friendly than they make it seem.

DDG has received too much unconditional, cryptomaniac-like praise (from HN), so it's good to give them some doubt every now and then.
ProtonMail respects your privacy, but they also respect warrants issued by the Swiss authorities. If you use ProtonVPN (or no VPN) to access ProtonMail then your real IP is recorded and can be turned over. If hiding your real IP address is important than use a different non-logging VPN provider (personally I use Mullvad to access ProtonMail and everything else).

DDG is more private than Google or Bing, which is what really matters for most people. But since it's closed source, there is a degree of risk that it tracks more than it says. It might eventually get purchased or coerced somehow (like their recent contract issues with MS.)

In the past the US has had bans on certain weapons, I'm not aware of there ever being any encryption bans. Because of this I don't think support of banning encryption is any higher than support for gun control, it's just the flavor of the month.

I tend to reach for a queue when an item should processed by a single consumer and you have fancy retry logic.

I tend to reach for a message bus when N consumers may need to know about an event that happened.

I usually start with a synchronous API call to the target service over http and only reach for other methods when reliability, response time, or throughput concerns justify it.
It's "off topic" or "going to devolve into a flame war" if I had to guess. Or, sometimes it's "we're tired of seeing US politics on the front page."

Yes, that’s the point I was making. I believe he was sceptical initially. They were friends and she had enough scientific knowledge to understand the data being presented and the mechanisms behind it. Therefore she was able to convince him that it was a serious issue.
It really depends on how much money you have or want to spend. Skiing frequently is way cheaper over time if you own your own gear. Same with climbing, biking, kayaking, surfing, etc.

Some gear you absolutely cannot rent for liability reasons, like most rock climbing gear.

It also depends on how good you get. I’ve been kayaking for 25 years and whatever I can rent down the street is not likely to work for what I typically want to do.
