1. My taxes go to a lot of stuff I don’t care about but that is a cost of living in a society that I enjoy living in. If something improves society that leads to a reduction in the societal problems that do affect me, by all means.

2. Perhaps then don’t make it entirely free. It doesn’t have to be black and white.

3. We printed money for banks in 2008 and it didn’t result in inflation. As long as people have places to spend their money or the money doesn’t end up sitting in an account, inflation shouldn’t be a problem. Right now, the supply chain is still borked and people like me have been waiting for stuff on back-order for months, which means money that I already ear-marked to spend is instead just sitting in my bank account and collectively causing inflation.

4. This one I agree with. Either it’s free/cheap college education or nothing. Loan forgiveness is a lazy way to say that we want free/cheap education without committing to anything.

5. Don’t care about transfer payments. Many people are already born with insane talent or great circumstances and have life much easier so why do I suddenly care that some people have it harder or easier?

6. Victim mentality happens when someone loses hope and feels like they are in a deep hole. If your student loans are too large to pay off reasonably soon (which any normal young person with hopes and dreams can get themselves into), you talk to your friends who are in the same pickle and this mentality develops.

Now I don’t know if making college free is necessarily the option or feasible but both sides have a point. Nothing that is contentious has one side that is simply right — it wouldn’t be a contentious issue.
The Apple II HIG document looks interesting - it's a shame it's not a PDF link!!

It's interesting how AWS can keep so high prices on these. But it's just the beginning, the real money comes from when they convince you to run over a dozen vms/containers (all needing storage etc of course).

You need to be triply redundant on 3 availability zones, (3x) both with the RDS db cluster and app containers (2x) . And then have separate dev/staging/prod envs (3x). That's 18x.

You can then get a pat on the head ("pass AWS well-architected review"). Then they innovate "serverless" stuff where you can pour developer man months and years to save on this overpriced things by making everything more complex, hard to monitor/debug and learn new aws specific techs, so you can get faux savings. Here they're buying your long term lock-in by getting AWS specialists and advocates on your long term payroll. They're doing certifications and investing in AWS careers that can carry over to the next employer too.

And don't even get me started on how much work by this time has gone to build the infra-as-code to manage the rube golderg machine, you'll (seriously) have more lines of CDK code than app logic (that was slower to develop & harder to debug than your actual app code per line).

Just about now someone in your newly grown cloud herding engineering org champios the idea "I know what will help, let's start using Kubernetes". They've probably never costed / self administered a server in production use, or if they have, they know to keep quiet.
Our streets are digital in fully remote world. On HN for e.g. I've seen creator of DLang casually chimes in on a conversation. A big piece from past hits front page and the author simply joins and answers questions.

While we've evolved to value in-person interactions higher, let's not forget the fact that even non-sonic non-visual near-real-time conversation with actual creator would be simply impossible for someone sitting in a third-world country, like me :)
Political systems don't define the nature of a system, the political leadership does. Because in the end any system of rules doesn't really mean much when it's up to the political establishment of a country to enforce those rules. Democracies can bring great oppression, dictatorships can bring great freedom. The history of Ancient Greece/Rome are more than sufficient evidence of this, to avoid the hornet's nest that is contemporary society.

The main strength of a democracy is in stability. It ideally creates the perception of the ability to change one's political future with a vote, which means people are less likely to resort to the methods they must to change their political future under an e.g. dictatorship. Of course when that perception collapses, we're back to square one.
Of course torrents are still a thing...for linux isos. The completely legal sharing of linux isos.
Yeah we dont have super bowl in France or China where I leave now. I dont think it means early to have ads for, it seems to mean peak bubbles instead. And it could just be the beginning of the end.
Reminds me about when people had to generate a string of random characters but take anything out that's close to a slur.

Forgot what the end result was, no vowels and numbers?
Uh, why wouldn't they be?
It might be cheap now but there is absolutely no guarantee that one day they'll send out a fairly nondescriptive AGB update email and increase the prices without you knowing. Then because all these ever so helpful cloud services don't allow you to create payment caps the costs can explode any day. It's all one executive decision away.
But as a client, you have to pay somewhat for that server. And by the way it is one of coolest pieces of software ever. I wish client-server stack to be dead in favor of all kinds of torrents and blockchains.
I agree with this. I use it on both Mac and Windows. The Windows version works pretty well: no major problems. But the Mac version has all kinds of quirks. The most annoying is that somehow it gets into a bad state where it won't even launch, and the only way to fix it is to find its hidden configuration file and delete it.
TIL. That said, I'm sure if you polled most folks these days, beaver would mean animal or women's genitalia, and not leave it to beaver.

Given the relatively common crass meaning for beaver, beaver cleaver sure sounds like a sexual innuendo to me.
Advertising in Settings is pure evil and needs to go away.

Same for pushing ads through Notifications.

Apple's road to hell is paved with OS-embedded advertising and user manipulation in the name of service and subscription revenue.
Ya'll are missing my favorite one, although I guess its technically two words. "Dad CEO": #dadce0
Many (most?) embedded C projects have a policy of no dynamic memory allocation.
Well for one thing there's 50 states. But also people are VERY individualistic and simply lookout for themselves and their interest at all costs. Why would a state send out ballots to everyone, because they know it works to get the people they want elected. It doesn't matter if it's fraud as long as they win. Why would a state delete 100,000s of thousands of active voters a few days before elections. Exact same reason.

Everything in the US is the way it is because it's best for SOMEONE, but rarely everyone.
NASA has a blog post today titled "Engineered to Endure Micrometeoroid Impacts" [1]

>This most recent impact was larger than was modeled, and beyond what the team could have tested on the ground.

>...mirror positions enables partial correction for the result of impacts. By adjusting the position of the affected segment, engineers can cancel out a portion of the distortion. This minimizes the effect of any impact, although not all of the degradation can be cancelled out this way.

>This most recent hit was not a result of a meteor shower and is currently considered an unavoidable chance event. As a result of this impact

>Since launch, we have had four smaller measurable micrometeoroid strikes that were consistent with expectations

The rabbi recently on the Lex Fridman podcast told a joke that went (roughly) like

Scientists come to God and say "OK God, we've had a lot of progress lately in synthetic biology, genetics, engineering, etc. and we're pretty sure we know how you did it."

God says "Oh really?". "Yes. We'll create living creatures out of dirt to show that we can do just as you did with Adam."

God says "Wow, fantastic!" So the scientists go outside with a shovel to collect some dirt. And as they're about to dig their spades in, God says "No no no, get your own dirt!"
I've never actually read it, just about it, and I have no desire to just because that's a nightmare I don't need. The title itself is a candidate for a single sentence horror story.
Ktorrent does the job for me
I'm trying to come up with an example to check my understanding. n (log n)^k for some constant k would qualify right?
I mean just logically the shifting voting habits of a given demographic don’t demonstrate the absence of voter suppression. Those shifting preferences could be for any number of reasons, including suppression itself. We don’t know.

What we do know is that there is no evidence of meaningful voter fraud in the US.

We also know there is an established history of voter suppression and to a lesser extent election fraud.

With this knowledge I see no reason to enact Voter ID.
In this case the "greedy" algorithm was guaranteed to give the best possible flow in the network so this speedup applies to the optimal solution. I think in a lot of cases greedy algorithms are used when the alternative is an NP-hard problem like bin packing or TSP for which we might be looking at speeding up an already sub-optimal solution.
Sure it’s not practical for a lot of existing owners but Ford has to start somewhere and I think it’s a pretty good place to start

The tech simply isn’t there yet for your ask but if Ford waited for the day the tech arrived, they wouldn’t even be in the game
How is the plasma created? Seems like it's just by dropping very high voltages into an air gap in the engine, I guess alike a spark plug?

The visual difference here is striking- the conventional small spark, versus a whole annular ring of plasma. That, intuitively, makes this seem like a semi-obvious improvement for starting ignition.

A lot of this article spends time navel gazing over will or wont EV's take over. Personally I'd really like to have some range extending capabilities. I think if we wanted to, we could make small, compact, efficient suitcase sized generators, tailored to the EV. A Tesla home charger tops out at 11kW power. That's ~15 HP. It'd be so nice to quell range anxiety with even 10HP/7kW of charging capacity via fuel. This won't keep the car going down the highway, but it'll give consumers the option to tap the common, easy-and-fast-to-get high-energy-density source that's available almost everywhere, and provide assurance they can get way out there, maybe be a little mindless & not worry about being full-up stranded.

That said, I can argue against range-extenders too. I want to think that, with optimization, these can be made small & fairly efficient. But why even bother with efficiency, if it's barely going to get used- if the goal is to be an adequate backup? What would the cost be? Why take up the space?

I think the idea is worth exploring. Maybe not just in EV/range-extender space. Generator-sets are weighty & big, especially ones that care about efficiency. I keep feeling like some miniaturization is definitely available. It feels like 10 HP is not that much power, that we could refine these systems, that they don't need to be as big as they are, that less materials could translate to lower costs.

Every political typologist considers the Nazis and fascists to be far-right. Saying otherwise either makes you look unbelievably ignorant, or one of those Nazi/fascists who are lying about their heritage.
I wonder if you could find out how many positions from HN get filled up.

Say by comparing with an employees official job site and the HN post role.
Nothing against it but I always wonder what leads to posting a link to a website out of the blue sky. No news, no releases, just a link to a frontpage.
I'm not an experienced reverse engineer by any means but I took a peek at dwarf fortress in IDA and found what I believe is the combat simulation function. At least it uses strings like: "flies off in an arc" and concatenates them together.
The function itself is massive, I had to increase the node limit for IDA graph view to see it in graph mode. If rest of the code base is similar then I can see how it would be a big job to untangle it all and parallelize.
Tarn has also said that he is not a SW developer, coding is just means to an end for him to make a game so I sort of expected spaghetti.
The game is great though!
Well perhaps if you become omni(scient/present/potent) enough, you can subtly influence that process to your desired goal. Evolution is very random in the end.

I've heard that this is how the story originated; a friend of Ellison had a doll with no mouth named this and Ellison quickly thought that it would be a great title for a horror story...

I don't think those apps are tested on Mac.

I started off with Arduino when I was 10 thanks to my dad so I could unironically say that I have 10 years of programming experience. You are a good dad man, your kid is going to remember your effort.

Anyhow, other than buying a kit you should also consider getting a book even though there are probably loads of tutorials on YouTube explaining all of the basics.
I don't.
Life is short. You must choose what you spend your time and energy on. Only you can decide what is worth pursuing with the resources you have.

In contrast to your last sentence, I believe that if you are not using your time off for recovering, then you cannot work with a good capacity.

If you find yourself unable to motivate yourself for coding in your time off, you are possibly not recovering enough as it is, so trying to get better in your time off vs. in your paid time is not necessarily a healthy thing.

You can arrive at burnout by pursuing that path long enough.
I'm in the same boat as you. Used Deluge for years and was a huge fan, continued to use it for a couple years after the Windows version stopped getting updates, but last year ended up switching to qBitorrent and I'm very happy with it.
Tax laws make more sense than a lot of SPAs...

You can achieve this on Windows / Mac / Linux / Android / iOS with CopperSpice, a Qt4 fork which continues to receive updates. You would use the QMacStyle class:

1. We -- as in, geeks -- won the DRM battle for MP3 stores. We have, however, so thoroughly lost the DRM war people barely care it's there. All your streaming services -- Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc -- are using DRM and no one even fights this any more.

2. We won the battle for Linux -- and have thoroughly lost the free software war. No matter how you count, it is, by far, by very far, the most used operating system. A year ago there were three billion active Android devices, all of them using the Linux kernel -- and the overwhelming majority of them only allows sanctioned apps to be installed. There is no freedom any more. And despite the phones have capable CPUs, practically no one uses it to develop software, the entire development ecosystem is completely absent from Android. By any means you should be able to attach keyboard, mouse and monitor and develop and deploy your own phone apps but who does that?

2a. In the web server space, once again, it's Linux all the way. Although w3tech only says "unix alike" for the 80% it reports it's not unreasonable to think the overwhelming majority of that is Linux. But, guess what? increasingly all of that is in a cloud data center where your control is ... limited.

3. We won the battle for browsers -- everything now runs on top of an open source rendering engine. But, do I need to mention how much we lost the war here? Because neither Safari nor Chrome are open source and what else has any market share whatsoever? And in a familiar manner, they restrict of what you can install on them.
I feel like AWS has a pretty good track record at this point for not increasing prices - certainly to the point that I trust them not to pull an Oracle. (Hypothetically, my volume of data stored with them is low enough that even a 10x gouge would just make me angry, not wound me financially. There's not a mechanism for these archives to incur explosive costs, but your point is why I avoid other less-predictable cloud services.)
> There's a lot of accessibility options like "increase contrast" and "differentiate without shapes" if you don't like it though.

No. Just no. You make these things readable and accessible by default. You don't bury it in a setting somewhere.

I have 20/20 vision and I felt compelled to turn high contrast and button shapes on because the OS is so goddam unreadable.
Sounds like those analytics weren’t important to the company.

Can someone explain to me what the benefit of dapps is/will be over BitTorrent?
This was one of the issues in 2020. If a person voted in person, but a mail in ballot was received that mail in ballot was just rejected. Lots of politicians from one party were adamant about telling people who voted by mail to show up in person as well because the mail in ballots may not arrive in time. So there were millions of people with double votes where the mail in was auto-rejected. When analyst tried to nail down exact numbers or to audit specific instance it turns out the rejections we're not logged. The best they could do was determine, in some states, the number of people who requested absentee, but voted in person.

When contacting these people many claimed they did not request or receive the mail in ballot.
What helped me:
1. Therapist - Just to talk.
A good therapist (psychologist/psychiatrist) usually shows you a different perspective. I was stuck with my own thoughts. It might take some time for you to find a therapist that you can connect with, try different therapists.

2. Regarding salary - Join Blind (app)
Every post has salary has salary mentioned. By just seeing salary on a regular basis, I felt comfortable enough to ask for a raise and I got it.

3. Started Journaling - (The Artist's Way (book) helped me)
I'm with you. I was actually expecting a message about it being hacked or something similar to when Transmission had malware added to a version of it.
> If as you browse the web, the same source seems to be tracking your browser across different websites, then Privacy Badger springs into action, telling your browser not to load any more content from that source. And when your browser stops loading content from a source, that source can no longer track you. Voila!

So, for example, does it stop loading fonts? Or CDN-hosted assets?
One reason (probably the main reason) to use Deluge, with its client-server stack, is you can run the server on a “seed box” which will allow you to manage your torrents on a server which is always up (and always seeding, when needed) from a client which is not always online (your laptop, for example). This is extremely useful if you are part of a private tracker community where users are required to seed the things that they leech.
For the curious, I think they mean decimal values 16408693 and 16410119. Which have other archaic meanings but their primary modern meanings are a slur. 16410349 is apparently British slang for exhausted, so maybe gets a pass?
Yup, indeed! Business mini-pc's power my home Kubernetes cluster. 100% would prefer it be running AMD right now, but there's no resale market, & hardly a primary market.

I used to have converted Chromeboxes but never really got good enough at Kubernetes over there, and one of the boxes kept dying.

this manual is several decades old. large moths (the size of your palm) used to be very common, and still are in some remote places. you could catch them easily near any lamp after sundown.
It was a much smaller internet. Crowds and server overload were much more visible.
Has this ever been effective somewhere ?
I was just wondering the same thing. Maybe it's to simply bring awareness to those who haven't seen it before?
In France it is done four times in a row every five years (presidential + parliament) and also two times in a row every six years (municipal elections, a few places have two simultaneous elections for the city mayor and "associated city" mayor) and I think once every five years (European elections, not sure of the modalities in France as I was never in France at this time).

It has a cost but most people involved are not paid. Referendums are uncommon but that has more to do with political culture than costs I think.
I think its easier simply not to compete, when the desktop does what you need just use it.. and move on with life.
Wow, what a shame! I guess when there is too much land, politics don’t appreciate it anymore? But I think it should be reverseable - in Central Europe, forests got pretty much eliminated in pre-industrial age to get firewood. But since then there was a pretty significant reforestation. Well managed forests can be fairly profitable - you can get high quality food for furniture and housing, have family activities there etc. Around here, people of all political colors are big on hiking, doing some outdoor grilling or going to forest playgrounds. Plus, nowadays there is also a significant financial incentive in the form of CO2 certificates. Couldn’t that tip the scale towards reforestation?
I did that like in 2018 when we had no charger close by during EV development... there is no way there is no 'prior art' for this patent?
