The map shows 50,000ya arriving to Australia and 15,000ya arriving to America. The numbers are never settled and always approximations and fuzzy, so I'd not be surprised that later it's modified to 20,000ya arriving to America. Perhaps 30,000ya is possible.

But arriving to America 300,000ya is just too much. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_evolution#Encephalizatio... that's the date of the first H. Sapiens in Africa and the previous species didn't extend past Korea and never reached America.

From the article:

> Then, in five centuries, they burned through the resources that had sustained Indigenous peoples for 25,000 (or 250,000) years.

In the article it looks like before the arrival of Colon (or Erikson), America was an ideal place, but 10,000 years ago there was a huge extinction of the Megafauna https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleistocene_megafauna#North_Am... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleistocene_megafauna#South_Am... . It's not very clear what happened, but we probably just got technology good enough to kill and eat them.
I have been using ubuntu and flavors for well over 12 years. I gotta tell you, never has anything of what you describe happen to me.

And I am a menacingly wild-user. I put my systems through a lot! I do a lot of full-stack development, arduino(and other iot stuff) coding, blender work (3d), inkscape, gimp, a lot of audacity for audio, a lot of kdenLive for video-editing..

and my laptops (although always being mediocore in spec) never broke a sweat.
And I have never ever had to 'format' my PC cuz I'm locked out of it.

So, maybe, it's you who doesn't understand how to use the system. Maybe!
It’s entirely DRM. On Windows you only get HDR/4K if you use the native silverlight/UWP (!) app with their DRM. Part of that is that all your monitors have to pass validation, not just the one on which netflix is playing.
Your latter idea is golden, in my opinion. Some of the podcasts I subscribe to regularly complain about their live cast options.
Half my team is using mac and the rest of us are begging for mac laptop refreshes to do our ASP api work, if that tells you anything. I consider the experience with rider on a mac to be far superior to windows based development.
As someone who uses both for different personal projects:

- I use zig as my build system for both rust, zig, C libraries and linking since the build system works really well for this purpose

- When I need to write applications or libraries that can benefit from compile-time code, I always try and use zigs since it's much easier to use comptime then a combination of rust macros and generics

- I like the zig async story a lot better. Or at least it's much easier to wrap my head around and write code in compared to rust + tokyo

On the other hand, sometimes I know a project will benefit from the borrow checker or I want to use some of the awesome rust crates that the community made and I'll use rust instead.
Quest for finding open-source sustainability with GitHub sponsors
any time you run a paid ad you'll need it so you don't have a bunch of distractions and people will focus on your call to action.
D nim and a few others offer nicer syntax over what's normally C for sure. Yea it doesn't surprise me that an established product had trouble incorporating rust, but at the same time, there's a reason why they went through with it right? Memory safety, no data races, etc. Like there is a motivating reason for using it. Meanwhile lots of other products have found ways of integrating Rust and some of them are risk averse products.
I've been trying to buy stuff and most of the money goes to the middlemen scalpers.

I made a mistake in a post above, I thought Raspberry PI 2 W were still retail priced at $5, like the old days of the zero (of course those were unobtainable by most people at $5 even in good economic times).

So the Pi foundation is selling for $15 and the market on Amazon has cleared everything for sale below $149.

It would be fair to claim, with some hand waving, that the manufacturer of the Pi boosted the price 200% from $5 to $15, but the scalpers are boosting the price from $15 to maybe $130 will sell and clear the market, so the scalpers are making (150-15)/15*100 = 766% lets round that to 800%.

So for every hyperinflated price dollar, about 20 cents goes to the mfgr and about 80 cents goes to the scalper.

In the long run this destroys middlemen-as-a-service. No matter how inefficient "big corporate" is, its gotta be cheaper than the scalpers, so people are eventually going to buy Pi 2 W zeros from raspi themselves for maybe $40 to $50. Onesie-twosie shipping is expensive for inefficient big corporate so thats maybe even a fair price. Then the scalpers and middlemen will die out with their $130 prices if raspi sells direct for $50.
It became better
please reach out to me at calvin@pobox.com. It's good to have saab freinds on call when you have Q's. I have... a LOT of experience with 900's. This is my 88. I am getting fairly close to ripping out the whole fan relay system as it's very complex and replacing it with fewer, simpler, easier to replace and maintain switches and relays.

Even with the 80's CIS stuff I have experience so... happy to help. The pre 86 calipers are trash though, if you are east coast i have a whole set of 88 front knuckles you might be able to swap over (Not sure if it'll work with your axles).

Anyway, I have a good network of saab people offline so parts and things I can usually wrangle up. Last year we did a saab underground railroad and shipped an 1968 96 transmission 700 miles for free over a few months of people visiting people

These are great! I found out recently that GitHub supports SVGs in your profile README so couldn't resist setting up a huge animation on mine[1], you can't run JavaScript in SVGs unless they are inlined with the HTML but maybe it would be possible to setup a GitHub action to automatically generate it periodically.

> All currency is made up. Even gold, or bitcoin, or giant rocks

Yes, but gold, bitcoin, and giant rocks can't be inflated at will, which is what the OP was complaining about.

Simulated pieces of green paper can.

Even with the formerly-used real pieces of green paper, there's a physical limit to how fast printing presses can run.

With simulated pieces of green paper, you can just type some numbers into a computer and suddenly there are twice as many of them as there were before. Or a hundred times as many. Or a trillion times as many...
It's still mostly the same. Nothing much has happened in the JS space in the last 2 years that would make all this easier.

The JS ecosystem suffers from a huge issue of duplication. There's multiple module systems, multiple ways to make a function, multiple ways to make a class, multiple ways to make a variable, multiple ways to loop over the array. Some of those exist in other languages as well but it's pretty bad in JS.

The problem is a language where you can do anything but where every day something has changed and the new something is the new cool. Now you have to ditch what you learned + the libraries to migrate to this. Or you have to use babel.

The module system fragmentation is the worst thing that can happen to a language. Unfortunately, I haven't seen anything remotely close to a bridge between CommonJS & ESM so both can coexist peacefully. If you turn towards one, node starts screaming about how ESM modules can't contain require and if you go the other way, well then CommonJS doesn't have import.

Aside from that JS is a great language. No, just kidding it's a mess.
I was REing my insulin pump's uploader at one point, and found that it would always send the phrase "all's well that ends well" to the server as part of the handshake
I would instead say it has more to do with “interestingness” being an impermanent quality.

As an odd extension of this idea (I don’t know of an English equivalent), if this were Spanish we would probably use “estar” instead of “ser” to affix the description.

Ask HN: What is the best and easiest setup to start podcasting?
I want to create a podcast, but so far, the audio software on mac I've been testing doesn't seems to be that good. I assume the only option would be Garage Band, anyone can relate some advice in here?
Hrm, looks fine to me; this is how windows looks through the same compression: https://i.imgur.com/JRt9aIo.png
To give it a try i typed "sceptics" and selected Sceptics Guide to the Universe which results in redirection to https://podbabble.com/podcast/undefined and an error "Error: could not handle the request"
I'm sure that is the reason, but I find it hard to believe that ripping content could possibly be that much harder just because you're on Windows.

And Netflix exclusives regularly make it to pirate sites in 4K afaik?
Also: even if Linux gaming is getting better everyday thanks to lots of work by contributors and companies (Valve, Codeweavers, hey even Nvidia recently, etc), as a developer I get to do enough software spelunking at work, and I'm supremely happy to pay the small cost of periodically dealing with MS bullshit.

The small cost of dealing with $ms_bullshit_du_jour is a periodical { 1. sigh, 2. find & run some PowerShell snippet to uninstall or disable the bullshit, 3. be done with it till next time } sequence, but the large benefit is the guarantee to be running games on the de-facto standard platform where they are end-to-end tested by the game devs/QA !

Games are complexity beasts by nature, and I have high fidelity & stability expectations; I don't want an extra source of trouble. (Yes, even if I would absolutely prefer to run games on Linux! All my other machines run Linux)! Until Steam{OS, Deck} gets enough usage to be routinely tested by 90% of the games shipping on Steam, both AAA & indies, for me Linux gaming is a case of "I would absolutely love to, but for now, thanks / no thanks" .
that is a very good point!

I recently helped a friend de-cruft their slow as molasses laptop, and as ever was struck how Windows is always freaking DOING shit. It's sitting there seemingly idle, but the start bar takes 5 seconds to open. You open task manager and it's grinding away at network, grinding away at CPU, grinding away at disc, all via opaquely named processes. The bloody thing is relentless.
It looks very bad tbh. This is how my comment looks on Mac for comparison. Uploading to imgur to test if there is compression in play here. https://i.imgur.com/hSirmx6.png

> A forum would simply aggregate them into one post that gets bumped to the top when someone comments, perhaps with the first post collating all the information as time goes on. But on the Reddit style boards, the discussion disappears soon after it's posted, just when the information starts to get there.

This isn’t necessarily true. It sounds to me like you only have experience with some of the larger subreddits like r/pics. If you frequent smaller hobby subreddits you will find that the moderators will do exactly what is being described here. Some are pinned on a permanent basis, others are rotated out on a weekly or daily basis. The tools to do this are already baked into Reddit, it is up to the moderators of each subreddit whether to use them or not.
> cryptocurrencies should be shut down.

Sorry. You can't just 'shut them down' and the regulators also know it. If that was the case, all these cryptocurrencies would have died much quicker along time ago and we wouldn't be saying 'please shut them down now' today.

> He worries that they enable illicit activity by making money transactions less transparent.

And this 'illicit activity' is traceable for everyone to see on a public ledger so everyone knows where the money is going such that exchanges find that useful enough to prevent them from cashing out or blocking payments associated with a suspicious wallet address?
It takes a lot of knowledge, experience and smarts to find simple solutions for hard problems
> `firstName: FirstName` is redundant. It is equivalent to an alias.

FirstName is here its own type inheriting String, NOT being a String and that is important in order to enforce not to mixing two different ontological categories represented by the same implementation (STRING). For example, if we follow C style alias of types, FirstName and LastName could be silently exchanged leading to lots of silent errors.

I sort of agree with the rest of what you said however more dynamic systems although flexible tend to bring "undesired entropy" into the system.
Not anymore. That's the point. Times have changed and they make trucks less efficient and less reliable.
But luckily, you're allowed to add links.
The kerning on your screenshot is very chunky. In particular look at the kerning on the lower case r’s in your screenshot. The r is given way too much horizontal space particularly to it’s right, especially so in the word “crappy”.
In Windows you're much more likely to wake up one day the victim of some ransomware which has encrypted your files and demands bitcoin to get your files back again.

It's not unknown for Windows updates to break systems either, and when you do have serious problems on Windows there's a limited amount of things you can do because the system is so opaque.

At least on *nix you (or expert users helping you) can dive in to the source to figure out what's happening. With Windows you can be left at the mercy of waiting for Microsoft or whatever closed-source software you're depending on for a fix.
https://techcrunch.com/2021/09/06/protonmail-logged-ip-addre...

The controversy here is is that Prontonmail announced they didn't do something, log IPs for example and then when compelled by law enforcement-- somehow had a log of IPs. I use Protonmail but there is no way for me to ensure they are E2E just like there is no way to ensure they don't log IPs. This why faith and trust are so important. "Real security" people don't need faith just Math but for the rest of us we need an off the shelf solution that's good enough.
Crypto currencies are also make graphic cards for playing computer games more scarse. A reason graphic cards can be used for mining crypto currencies. Secondly crypto currency proof of compute is power hungry and we have global warming. Crypto currency will probably become state issued with a transparent strong id transaction ledger of who did what.
Rider is for one significantly faster, it also has better solution analysis and refactorings due to it integrating all the resharper ones.
I am surprised people on hackernews are still regurgitating talking points from 20 years ago - Linux on Desktop is quite terrible ? When was the last time you used Linux ..

I have been using Linux systems from the past 10-15 years and they have been my daily driver for almost everything - and I live on my computer. Never have I faced any issue that can't easily be solved. (If at all there were issues)

Comments like this really make me questions peoples just hate Musk so much that their dont want to apply even basic logic.

When the window im the presentation split, the ball didnt go in and would not have hurt the driver. Seems to me that is the important part.

Go and try throwing large metal ball against the glass of your F-150 and see how well the driver would be doing.

I would trade my live for a borken window. Not to mention that they showed videos from backstage where the threw the ball at the door and it didn't crack.

Also its clearly not about zombies, debris hitting the glass is a real problem, both on the highway or offroading. Not to mention people smashing windows to steal shit. So clearly this is a useful feature.

And in terms of diliveries, it does matter who produces the first 1. It matter who manages to produce 300k or even 500k a year first. And Ford position on battery supply chain is way, way worse and the F-150 needs huge batteries.

Unlike Ford Tesla has actually proven the ability to produce 300k BEV a year. Ford has not even produced 300k a year BEV let alone of 1 model that uses 2x as much battery then a normal car.

It was only like 1-2 ago when the CEO of Ford said batteries were a non issue and plently were available on the open market. Since then they have realized how dumb that is and actually have made a partnership with a battery company. But they were way late on that and it will hurt their volume.
Over here coyotes are not endangered, and deer have an overpopulation problems such that without hunters they will eat all their food by the middle of winter and then starve to death.

Snakes protected though, as are wolves. There is a problem with people killing them anyway. They are not the major animals rural people target - because they are endangered there are not many.

> You tell the authorities; they'll set traps, capture the animal, and release it to the forests.

This is something that they used to do over here. Then we discovered that when you release wild animals far from home they don't know their way around, and so they have trouble finding enough to eat, where to drink, a place to live. They are thus not in great physical shape when they encounter whatever lived there already and so are easy kill. Predators are either lone or pack animals - either way a stranger is something to kill. As such releasing a trapped animal is cruel. Unless you find a place where there is nothing else of the type, but even then we have to ask about if they have the correct genes, turns out animals of the same species get natural selection for DNA that helps in their location.
I see where you are coming from, zig is easier to learn, but zig doesn't offer what rust does with respect to safety. That feature is so hard for me to ignore. I respect it though, some people want to be up and running with a new technology in a day or whatever, rust doesn't give you that unless you are very seasoned.
Zzz. If you're sorta familiar with the concept of SMR's, the article isn't worth reading. (Click-bait title, kinda built around easy quotes & ideas from one 'nuclear risk consultant'.)

If you're not familiar, maybe it's an okay quick-and-fluffy introduction to the idea of Small Modular (nuclear) Reactors. Maybe.

The problem in the end comes down to the fine line Canada always straddles due to the proverbial "sleeping with the elephant" (see quote from Trudeau Sr.)

The fear being that if Canada deregulates fully and opens critical sectors like telecomms etc. to full competition we will completely lose these industries to US (or Chinese, etc.) interests.

And yet at the same time domestic regulation is continually captured by predatorial internal interests.

Canada has always been this way, and it's frustrating as hell. Almost every industry has a caste of "goold old boys" who seek to prevent competition by capturing regulatory agencies.

Many times many participants all went to private school together @ Upper Canada College, etc. Or sit/sat on boards together.

You could say "ok, disband the regulation and let them compete" but many times that just leads to the total collapse of certain domestic industries because they simply can't compete with US capital.

It sounds to me like you only visit the larger toxic subreddits. There are many hobby subreddits where the tone is positive and uplifting. It’s not Reddit as a whole that is the problem, but what subreddits you are visiting. Here is a hint, any subreddit that makes it to r/popular should never be visited.
Yeah but is it really user's problem if a system requires lot's of knowledge to do computer stuff without breaking the system? I don't have the time neither want to learn the intricacies of an operating system to do my work.

>There was no Uber, I had no data.

I went off to grad school as DADT was in effect, then Uber came into my college town, and I could see how things changed rapidly, in many ways, and not all of them good.

It's great people can get safe, cheap rides without DUIing all over the place, but it's at it's heart a jitney service propped up with Saudi money.

>Ubiquitous mobile access and data is what's really flattened most of our world. It's unquestionably an improvement for the people involved, but travelling definitely has a lot less charm and sense of discovery now.

I'd argue there's plenty of charm and discovery if you just turn off your phone and be mindful someone doesn't know if you're from North Dakota or North Korea if they haven't met you before or heard you speak.

I really enjoyed AB's show, but I worry people take the wrong thing from it -- they engage in low key herofication[1] of the specific cook or restaurant, rather than learn the names of a few dishes to try at a cafe where they might not give a damn if some American has a good experience or even comes back.
