> In 2007, O'Leary was forced to retract a claim that Ryanair had cut emissions of carbon dioxide by half over the previous five years because the claim should have been that emissions "per passenger" had been cut by half.

That's still an impressive accomplishment. So I'd be inclined to believe that was just an honest mistake.
It's weird they don't say what year its from. (AFAIK this keyboard mouse combo appeared in 1981).
Looking forward to trying this out. I've always felt that PagerDuty was absurdly expensive for the feature set they were offering. It costs something at least $250 per user for organization larger than 5 person - even if you're not an engineer who is ever directly on call. At my previous company, IT had to regularly send surveys to employees to assess if they really needed to have a PagerDuty account. Alerts are a key information in an organization that runs software in production and you shouldn't have to pay $250 / month just to be able to have some visibility into it. I'm hoping Grafana OnCall is able to fully replace PagerDuty.

So it feels to me that you're saying ADHD doesn't exist and it's a matter of parental failure or indifference. Do I have that right?
The brain chemistry altering controlled substances aren't necessarily the problem in my eyes. It's the lack of focus and individuality. School is a system that's supposed to help set people up for life as fellow citizens. If solution A doesn't work then one would hope that they would have the bandwidth to try solution B.

It does feel like there's a lot of "hey that's weird, this one person isn't like everyone else, maybe we should try pumping some drugs into them" going on. Perhaps we could explore the problem space a bit before reaching that conclusion. Of course that sounds like it could take a lot of work and involve understanding the problems on an individual basis. Standard cocktail of drugs, however has an industrial, assembly line feel to it. Why figure anything out when we can just find a way to make the problem go away.

Although, for those who really do need brain chemistry alterations to function, I'm glad we have something that we can actually do to help them. I just wish that the approach would be to actually assist the individual instead of only assisting the assembly line student output. It seems like I only hear about the later, but of course perhaps that makes sense because a story about the former doesn't have very good memetic fitness.
In 2k lines of assembly apparently.

Which sounds like a bit of a golf too for a ~quake compatible engine!

I guess you just need a PC from the early/mid 1990's with a soundblaster/clone sound card. Those cards overwhelmingly didn't have good power filters on their audio amps/etc and when the gain was turned up a bit you could hear the ISA/PCI bus noise.

I remember my PC made very distinct noises when scrolling text, compiling, and various other operations.

I vaguly remember a reading somewhere a couple years ago that someone had hooked up a click noise to linux syscalls and context switches for this basic purpose.

I just wish machines still had disk I/O leds. My laptop (a dell) is one of the last machines I've seen with a disk activity led, because it switches the charge led to disk activity with a fn key combination.

Also, if you want satisfaction there are various industries where computers are used to control mechanical devices. I worked in one where a large robot was being controlled by our software. Nothing more exciting than writing some code and hearing that think whirl and clunk away. Or somewhat frequently banging against end stops and the like when we had bugs.

Bringing them to the gym, to the park, playing in the backyard; it's a lot of work.

I agree with your point but as I’m wrapping up raising my own children I’m coming to the conclusion that I made it a lot harder in myself. Driving them to a million activities, even driving them to playgrounds several times per week, Home Depot kids workshops and so much more.

Sometimes I think a better thing would’ve been to simply say, “Go play outside.”

Sergei Korolev[0], chief architect of the N1 rocket[1] which never really made it off the ground. I believe the show mentions him surviving heart surgery, and the show's creator points to this as the 'divergence point'. The rockets the Soviets use to land on the Moon in the show were N1.

Do third-party preference panes still work in this reimagined "Settings" app, or have they gone the way of the kext?
Well current scientific thought says yes because measuring the spin in a particle in a superposition is truly non-deterministic from the perspective of observers, but I don't think that's relevant and I'm happy to think about the brain as an entirely or mostly deterministic thing, so I don't think this is too relevant, but we're not in a clockwork universe.

Probably yes, and it’s also the right call. There have been many recent articles about the economy, especially with regards to tech (and doubly so for crypto). Coinbase being a YC co doesn’t mean that layoffs are automatically worth a front page slot for more than a couple hours.

average golf course size according to google: 100..190 acres, let's steelman our calculations and go with 200

number of golf courses worldwide according to you know who: 38,000, let's make it an even 40k

20 times 40k = 8 milliion acres = 3,237,485 hectares

“according to the FAO, in the year 2013, the world’s arable land amounted to 1,407 million hectares, or about 5.4 million square miles”

let's see: 3,237,485 divided by 1,407 million is 0.0023…

not roughly 2.3%. not one tenth of 2.3%. not one hundredth of 2.3%. one thousandth of 2.3% ! Evil Big Golf is is taking up potentially a single one thousandth of 2.3% of of the world's arable land, back of an envelope estimate

yup that's a classic.

I think there's a "know thyself" problem for those who have difficulty with their kids. They'll behave like you, and if you're not happy with yourself then you won't be happy with them.

very much so. but it works the other way too. seeing myself reflected in my kids motivates me to change my behavior.

and parents changing their behavior is the only thing that works. applying two different standards and thinking that certain behavior is only ok for adults but not for kids (swearing for example) doesn't work.

This headline is ridiculous! The wind and solar are part of Texas's power mix. This is just "grid works properly".

But, of course, in modern stupid media, we have to have the headline "Smart, clean democrat power is 'bailing out' stupid Republican power", which is obviously how this headline was meant to be read, even though it makes no sense.
I'm not a doctor, but as a family member and extended family member, I know that many bipolar children appear with ADHD in their early years and are treated with ADHD medication.

Unfortunate that it's AGPL. But this is looks really great!
Absolutely (such as an ongoing trial project in Vancouver, Canada), but it’s not currently not politically realistic in many regions.

In the meantime for the individual, I believe it’s best to sit down and talk to a young person about the risks of drugs in a realistic way. Not the DARE fearmongering stuff, but talking about how drugs can be an easy distraction and source of drama from the things in life that should be higher priorities (e.g. relationships and career). This should also include specific advice about avoiding pills because of fentanyl tainting.

NLP: How did we get here? Where do large language models fit?
I've always considered Computer Science to be a distinct field from programming (or "Computer engineering", if you will). I mean, a brilliant particle physicist does not necessarily make a good engineer, an astronomer doesn't necessarily good telescopes, and a cancer researcher doesn't necessarily make for a good GP.

Not that these people automatically lack the ability to do these things well – some do, some don't – it's just that they're different fields with different training, mindsets, interests, etc.

Why bother? Bug reports are ignored by large software teams at large companies. The small software I write... mostly I just fix it and push the code. I do try to write reasonable descriptions of the changes I'm pushing, so that's sort of like a bug report. And I have submitted "issues" on GitHub projects.

My favourte bug report was for a Microsoft product that shall remain nameless. I reported a bug five years ago and it was pushed off to a community discussion site. All the MSFT employees claimed it wasn't a bug. All the non-MSFT people said "no. that's a bug that should be fixed." Thankfully there was a workaround but I think the bug will remain until the API is deprecated after a few more windows releases.

It's weird that small open source projects that don't have "official" headcount for CPE seem to be responsive to bug reports, but large software companies with large budgets and huge staffs would rather have people talk about the bug than fix it.
Driving a car without functional brakes on the highway is pure stupidity. It's not "fun boyish hijinks" if someone else dies because of you. It's not nanny-stating to think that your cool future story/character-building experience shouldn't involve putting innocent bystanders at risk.
Coinbase to Cut 20% of Staff
If it is for me, I have to differentiate between:

A. Again, but with the gained knowledge

B. Again, from zero to hero without the actual, gained knowledge

If it's A., I would do more and take less weeks 'off'. I would specialize earlier and make me some name in that field.

If it's B., That's difficult. That can't be answered without taking A. into account. If I would go again from zero, I think, it would be the absolutely the same. I would not be knowing, what can be done differently.. if I would, though, it would be the very same answer as for A..

About the teenager. One has to find a Connection, a uplink, to that person. If it's established, it's easy. You have to "to live what you're wanting to teach". For example, if it would be a printing method for packaging. When you buy at the groceries, choose the appropriate packaging and tell why and how to recognize. This needs to be done consistently. You have to bring that topic into the real life.

Grownups learn differently. They're able to see the use case and understand why they learn and see how this is helpful for personal goals of theirs. Youngs don't. They can't link the real world to that they do learn.

So, a good teacher tell them "learn it now. Understand later" and teach them the use of the topic with real world examples, finds examples in real world that connect with the topic, and in general, the teacher must love what he do and give that fire® to the learner
Ah ok, thanks for clarifying! Yeah I generally agree
Dublin to London is 1h 15m by plane. Ryanair costs $24.

A road trip including a ferry takes 8h 23m, and needs driving 600km * 4l/100km = 24l of diesel, which is about $56 just for the fuel.

Then add the value of your free time, which is necessarily higher than your work time, because you have less time left in a week.
I fundamentally disagree with this.

In our product, a change has the potential to cost businesses lots of money and also bring our customers into legal trouble, potentially making us liable too.

That's why we have heavy-handed change control, code vetting and so on. Yes it makes things slower, but due to the risks involved.

I've also worked on embedded projects where field updates are HARD and costly. We had heavy-handed change control then.

When I put those controls/processes in place, it wasn't due to low confidence, it was due to confidence in two things: (a) even the best SWE makes mistakes and (b) work to control change risk pays off

Sure, it isn't appropriate in many chases, but to write-off process as being designed by "low-confidence managers" because you don't see the point, is a bit myopic.

Any SWE who thinks that a codebase doesn't benefit from review before merging is driving on ego.
Lol. just replace Rust with C++/Java. Does your opinion change ? Because no one cares about being gentle to C++/Java in the HN community.
> The best just get bored and move on.

It may not be a matter of "the best". I have taken a personality test that had an item on it that covered product lifecycle. If 1 is initial conception, 2 is prototype, 3 is initial release, 4 is major enhancement, and 5 is maintenance, my personality is that I prefer 2 or 3. By 4 (major enhancement) I start to get bored, and by 5 (maintenance) I'm definitely bored.

It's not that I'm one of "the best" (though I like to think that I am). I have a personality clash with the later stages of product lifecycle.

It's a valid criticism for a comment section of HN, which mostly has very little to do with golf.

I visited IBM Austin a few times circa 2009-2011 to collaborate with an IBM employee on a project. Huge campus, absolutely completely dead at all times. I would come in through the main entrance, go past the security guard, and see nobody at all until I arrived in the lab space. The lab itself was a large workspace with all sorts of desks and project space, but the only employee in there was the guy I had come to see. Absolutely bizarre and an incredibly depressing place to be.
Adventures in AWS Lambda Land
I've been playing with Logseq for something similar - using the Zotero integration to share research notes (and sometimes blog). The attributes and queries are super clever, too.

I'm not sure it'll ever replace Facebook/Twitter/et al, but it is nice to have a semi-private network of people who can have grown-up discussions, or express thoughts deeper, or with more nuance, than 100-some characters.

There were only a few Facebook groups that I ever got any value out of, which were mostly small professional groups that banned political bickering. My mental health has definitely improved by going back to old-school forums, and I've noticed a lot of others doing the same over the past year or so - especially with Lemmy, which is maybe even a bit easier to set up.
Ok really dumb question but: how do you plug in a normal plug into a battery like this? I'm nervous about doing it wrong and then frying my musical equipment. The nice thing about the Anker is not having to worry about this.

My friends tried hooking up a car battery to an inverter and something went wrong (not sure what) and they fried 3k of musical equipment.
Honestly, crypto might just be a measure of excess liquidity in the financial system. If people could get their guaranteed 7% returns in bonds, that might suffice for enough folks. Central banking policy has vacuumed up the safe asset classes during quantitative easing, pushing investors to riskier asset classes for returns. QT will change that and the market is responding appropriately.

In a pool of 4000, the fact that many didn't have experience with Rust doesn't mean that there weren't also many that did have experience.

You could just filter the CVs for Rust experience and then take the most impressive 10 or 100 to interview.

I just tried that, it works, but weirdest thing to me was always that it doesn't alphabetize within the two groupings, but i guess the top and bottom are just seperations, not really groupings? Can you make the categories more explicit?. The first four I guess are related to UI (General, Desktop & Screen Saver, Dock * Menu Bar, Siri) but then why not make that it's own category? Siri and Spotlight I guess are both 'Search' but same question again, these were all in the first grouping.

There's a "Customize" but I guess that just lets you hide stuff.
I have seen a particular flavor of it mentioned a few times. There are people who like having noise in the background. Typically in older generations and lower classes it's not music or intentionally selected podcasts. Instead, they keep their TV on at all times. I'll not be surprised if it turns out to be a major vector for government propaganda.
The "lunar gateway" has no legitimate technical purpose, beyond that it is an orbit that SLS can get to, but Falcon can't. It is not an orbit that is favorable for moon landing: first you need to get from there to "low lunar orbit". And stopping there on the way to another planet would be hugely wasteful.

Essentially, its only purpose is to ensure there is something SLS will be needed for.
The backlash is the same as the one against standardized testing methods in school. People that don’t fit the mold of the testing method will fail regardless of how competent they are at their actual job.

It’s good you like that I suppose, but it sounds absolutely bonkers to me.
It looks and plays like Quake, it is Quake. It just doesn't use the original engine.

Similarly, the recent re-release of Doom doesn't use the original Doom engine, it uses Unity, but it's still Doom.
fork() also presents performance issues for programs with a large virtual space. Here vfork() helps, but it has even more pitfalls than fork().

> Nationwide, most of those who experience homelessness do not fall into that narrow category. They are homeless for six weeks or fewer; 40 percent have a job.

This makes sense but is also surprising, I think most people think of the "chronically homeless" when they hear "homeless".

The loss of SROs is a huge hit that we never really compensated for, and something like that should be brought back or encouraged, even if not in the same form.

> Crypto isnt like gold: there isnt a limited supply.

There is a much stronger guarantee that there is limited bitcoin when compared to gold. We have no idea what tech advancements will allow mining gold from comets or neighboring planets. A bit more far fetched, but maybe not impossible in the future would be changing other elements into gold.

Bitcoin has a codified contract that is being upheld socially with vast amounts of resources proving that society agrees on the limited supply. Sure, you can fork the codebase and create another chain. That has happened many times, which just proves a new chain does not do anything to the agreed upon, codified, limited supply of bitcoin.

As for your other points, they're presented constantly as serious arguments and debated ad-nauseam. Either you've just not witnessed it, or you're just trying to present things as uncontested facts which appears disingenuous and does not strike me as an honest argument.
It’s clear that’s what they wanted to do, but I think they really weren’t sure it would work and had a backup “it was GBA all along” plan.
