I've regretted hours spent watching TV, playing computer games, trying to figure out how to complete a task with no information available, being stuck waiting somewhere with nothing to do, but I can't think of a case I've regretted time spent reading. There may be people in the world whose lives would be improved by reading less, but I'm guessing a vanishingly small number.
> an EV is very compelling as a secondary vehicle

This is a strange way to think about it. Our secondary vehicle has a huge gas tank and other things we need rarely. Our primary vehicle has what we need day to day, just enough seats for the family and space for groceries.
By the numbers far more people have suffered under these dithering superstitions, that doesn't make them objectively better.
The crash already hit both... not sure what you are talking about
When I was young I realized I was escaping into games and damaging my life and relationships (one of the tests for addiction) and so I’m always going to hold them at arm’s length.

When I realized I needed a change I latched onto the fact that most people wouldn’t understand my excitement for an accomplishment in a video game, it wasn’t something I could bond with people over. But if I stopped fucking around and put that energy into programming, I could have accomplishments people understood (that turned out to only be only partly true. I still have programming accomplishments that my peers and communities don’t understand).

Bonding over games has shifted a bit since then. I know a hard of hearing kid who socializes online because conference calls make everyone have the same problem: differentiating two speakers is difficult. Everything sounds like hearing aids sound.

But it’s still easier for people to comment on my garden than whether I have finished the Thieves guild or stormcloak quest line in Skyrim, as an elf.
I had no idea what IP rights AT&T held over it. There was no way I was going to invest blood, sweat, and tears in developing a C++ compiler only to get sued over it.

Besides, it was polite to ask.
I don’t know if we have a way or model of calculating it accurately yet. It exists.
> Could J. K. Rowling require Harry Potter readers to follow a code of conduct?

Nobody attempts to apply codes of conduct to users of software - that's the domain of the license agreement. They only apply to communities. Virtually every online community around harry potter has some set of rules for participating in that community. e.g. https://stories.jkrowling.com/terms-of-use/

> Could Werner Heisenberg demand that you subscribe to a code of conduct if you want to do quantum physics?

Heisenberg was the post-ww2 president of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Physics (quickly renamed the Max Planck Institute post war) - which was involved in human "medical" experimentation in nazi concentration camps.

During his governence: "after 1945 neither active participants in the Third Reich nor hangers-on were called to account" - https://www.mpg.de/history/kws-under-national-socialism

So a guy who presided over an organization that didn't bother to clean house after being directly involved in the fucking holocaust isn't exactly my go-to for how to run a healthy community.
The jargon file is trully an amazing relic. I love to get back to it from time to time. Your tools looks like an amazing overvamp for it! Great work!
I’ve always used my MacBook pros with external displays and haven’t ever had these issues. I use a Samsung 4K monitor that I’ve had for a few years now, but even before that I don’t remember having issues. Max mini also works fine with the same.
You can see exactly the same with other authors. Asimov and J. K. Rowling, to pick two obvious candidates.

Compare "Foundation" with "Foundation and Earth" or "Foundation's Edge". Or "The Philosopher's Stone" with "The Order of the Phoenix". The former were well-edited and succinct. The latter were overly long, in some cases sorely repetitive with large amounts of padding, and a good editor could have cut them down by at least half without losing much.

And let's not even get into Robert Jordan...

Even the best authors need an editor.
Yeah, no.

I would see a pickup basketball game as “pissing my time away”. I don’t like basketball and loathe playing competitive sports.

Further, I really enjoy doing things by myself. I often play video games to challenge myself — it’s me versus a previous version of me.

Just goes to show ya — those “magical moments” are highly personal and defined by the things that give a person joy. And for some folks — like me — that includes video games!
Don't forget 'was created for the purpose of filling in a box on "supplier registration" forms [.....] This document continues to be used for its original purpose - providing a reference to fill in the "code of conduct" box on supplier registration forms.'
Seconded. I embrace change while appreciating that fundamentals compound over time and most things aren’t that different from one another. For example you mentioned Atom - your transition to Sublime, VS Code etc will be much easier because of your learnings in your previous editor. That’s
something that you wouldn’t have had if you didn’t put online the time or you were x years younger.
From the dissenting opinion: Those responsible for the original Constitution, including the Fourteenth Amendment, did not perceive women as equals, and did not recognize women’s rights...When the majority says that we must read our foundational charter as viewed at the time of ratification (except that we may also check it against the Dark Ages), it consigns women to second-class citizenship.

This country couldn't pass a constitutional amendment making spam calls and email illegal. And didn't pass an equality amendment making women equal.

There is no prior example of a right being conferred and then taken away like this. That the Court now has a 25% approval rating following this past week, which rivals that of Congress, it is deeply delegitimizing to representative democracy that the minority keeps making the rules, and the majority keeps having to acquiesce, per the rules.

In Lincoln's 1st inaugural address he pointed out that in all constitutional disputes, either the majority or minority must acquiesce, or the government ceases. The majority can't be expected to suck it up all the time, it's just too obvious we don't have anything approximating a representative democracy so what's the incentive to acquiesce?
Block-letter Roman-alphabet writing existed long before the printing press: consider e.g. ancient Roman monuments. Arguably, cursive was the anomaly: a form of writing optimized for a device capable of relatively continuous writing, in contrast to stone carving, clay tablets, brush writing, etc.
Scrum protects against micro management. The product owner can make a plan in the product backlog, but what goes into the sprint backlog is controlled by the team. I’f the PO says give me X in 3 weeks and the teams says no, then that should never go into the sprint backlog.

Once planing is done the PO doesn’t have a say on what happens when and who does what or why. There is a forecast of work that will be done by review, and that is all.

Doing micromanagement in scrum means you’ve not clearified who end what in scrum. If the PO thinks that they own the sprint backlog and cans dictate what you do and when you do it that’s a clear misunderstanding.

Yes, that's what I said. The term of art is "archaeological predictive modeling", but basically it's just finding statistical correlations between sites and spatial variables like soil type, water availability, etc. It's been around since the 80s, but a more recent example with ML is [1]. The people who find this most useful are heritage organization / BLM types that want to evaluate the "archaeological risk" of developing land without the need to do expensive surveys.

They're not nearly as useful in research archaeology because research is less focused on finding sites similar to what we already know about and more focused on getting an accurate picture of everything, including the sites not captured by traditional survey methodologies. Predictive modeling has a tendency reproduce your input biases, requiring careful management. A good paper that deals with this sort of problem and illustrates the scale of the issue is [2].

If you have a subject in mind, search top ranking institutions for experts in the field at the faculty web site. Check their papers and for the ones that look interesting, read the introduction for an overview. There will be dozens of references to other papers and you'll be set for an endless rabbit hole.
I started skimming halfway through, but I didn't see any evidence in the article to support its central claim.

What percentage of revenue / consumption is going to long tail content now, and how has that changed over time?

I watch lots of recent movies on mainstream streaming services, and haven't heard of any of the sequels in the article's top ten list.

Heck, I even mostly watch science fiction / action stuff, and passed on most of the things those movies are sequels of. I can't be alone in my viewing habits.
If this was true, in it was easier to steal or extort; the miners would be stealing or extorting. Such is the nature of the Bitcoin game.
You really are sure you wouldn't do anything different if an oracle told you it is actually your last day? There are so may possibilities for making the most of it.

You could take out every bit of loan or debt accessible and transfer all the money to charity. You could burn down the HQ of an oil company.

If you live in a country without the rule of Law, like Russia, where known killers and criminals hold positions of power, you could try your hand at assasinating one of them.

Same. I have an Acer ultrawide.

2 different MacBooks (an intel pro and m1 pro). Each connected to an Anker dock. The docks are connected via HDMI to an HDMI/USB KVM switch from CKL, then I have a 20ft HDMI cable and USB cable to run across the room to my desk.

The only time I hit issues is if I reboot the laptops while disconnected from the docks. They won’t pick up the monitor unless they’re logged in when I connect them.

Otherwise, I toggle back and forth between them with the KVM remote with no issues.
Yes, but with Las Vegas it probably mostly also comes out of state, and a different region altogether. Of course a New York doesn’t sustain itself with regional farming. But basic produce probably won’t come from a very far away plac,
Likewise. Currently I have a HP Z27 27-inch 4K UHD Display. I just connect the cable (USB-C) and it works. I have adjusted the scaling manually for personal preference. No issues (even in the past with other monitors).

At work we also got a batch of LG 27" Class 4K UHD IPS LED Monitors (27UK850-W). Again, just work.

The main thing to note here is I picked these monitors because it only requires a single USB-C connection for display and power.
Yeah RPython and Truffle/Graal are the two major implementations of this idea today.

Basically same experience for me. CalDigit TB 3 dock, 2019 16" MBP.

I use 2 external displays, a 27" Dell and a 24" Dell. Works very reliably. Dock settings, window locations, everything is solid.

Most of the cheaper docks AND adapters are utter crap, though. That makes the entire ecosystem hard to negotiate, for a lot of users. It's unclear to me how Apple can help with that, though.
JFYI you're writing from a very privileged perspective. I live in former USSR. My parents were robbed by the state of their life savings twice in their life (one day you have enough to buy a car — a luxurious item indeed, next day you have nothing), and thrice their saving were depreciated by 30-60% in a single day due to shock devaluation of the currency. I think this is pretty typical for 'developing' countries.

Most of my Russian friends have been working unofficially and haven't been paying anything to the retirement fund even before the war started (which just seems to have proven them right).
You're parroting the beliefs of the woke so chances are high that you're woke, I hope you can turn it around. You have a very confused outlook on life that does not match reality. I'll give you some pointers:

Climate change. Weather, been going on for all time. I'll pay attention when rich people abandon their seaside mansions.

Taxing the poor. Tax was invented for this.

The BLM movement was a farce. Nothing good came from it, period.

The c19 lock-downs took away our personal freedoms. 911 messed with travel a lot but these recent lock-downs are a whole new ball game (and the future does not look bright).

No one alive met Jesus, don't be ridiculous. He wouldn't be allowed to be a carpenter without doing safety training courses first, if he was alive. No one would nail him to a cross, he'd be on his cellphone like everyone else.
I'd say there's two elements to fun - how you view it in the immediate, and how you view it further down the road. And given that the further down the road part is something that sticks with you on the order of decades, while the immediate part tends to be on the order of hours, it seems clear to me which should be given priority.

For instance that's why I quit social media (excepting intermittent HN). I really enjoyed it in the shortrun, but I wasn't happy with what I was getting out of it in the longrun. We all convince ourselves we're making an "impact" by expressing ourselves, but I think that's something we all know is just a self delusion - we're just one voice ranting alongside a billion others doing the same. By contrast I've also spent tens of thousands of hours dedicated to chess, and it feels extremely good in both the short and longrun.
The principal idea is that a stronger market position will provide better options to dictate prices and to choose favorable investments, which will pay off at scale. If this is a viable assumption on the one side, it must be reflected on the other side. E.g., if you are in urgent need for money, you can't just decline an unfavorable offer and wait for a more advantageous one. You'll probably need to undercut average prices by your own offerings. And there will be whole industries taking advantage of this, by this weakening your opportunities again, as your liminal costs are rising (the two-months supply value pack is not for you, as you struggle to earn this week's expenses), while your market position declines.
Because there isn't that much else to do as a teen. The opportunity cost of spending time on gaming is low. You could get a job and start saving or investing, or study harder and advance your education more quickly, but it's not the expectation that teens will do this in a significant way.

An adult who is free to do anything and chooses to spend a lot of time gaming has a higher opportunity cost and a higher likelyhood of regret later.
The author alludes to something that resonated with me. I think the point he is trying to make is that even a lot of independent art is homogenized and tired because its underpinnings are more tied to a hustle-culture mindset than to actually asking something of the experiencer.

> but since they are those of your own you don't notice them as jarringly

Why would you assume this about me and not take at face value that I really believe you don't find these often in the wild. It's just my personal experience that I haven't seen these out in the wild all that much (I can't think of an example), and it was surprising to me.
But it is in line with the 72 rules listed. If you're a developer who wants to contribute to SQLite, you might want to know beforehand if you will be expected to sign on to a 73rd rule.
The process for rolling out breaking API changes is the same for monorepos as it is for multi-repos since, during a deploy, multiple versions of each service will be running simultaneously. The only advantage of a mono-repo is the atomic commit across multiple services. It's definitely possible through a combination of convention and tooling to do something similar with a multi-repo, but as of yet this is a less explored paradigm.

Freedom to do good? That's already been covered:
42. Attribute to God, and not to self, whatever good you see in yourself.

That's not your freedom or your will, that's god's doing. Or so this document says. So by your definition, there is no free will in this document.
My intel mac mini works just fine with two 1920x1200 displays both over usb-c to displayport. The HDMI port is utter shit.

Dunno how much they messed up with the M1/2 yet because I don't dare upgrade. Waiting for more kinks to be ironed out software compatibility wise.

I haven't made the jump to 4K where the problems seem to be though. Still hoping for the ressurection of 16:10 displays :)
There is also Cursive, an IntelliJ plugin/distribution. It's commercial though, perhaps why the parent dismissed it.

I’ve used the Uni branded usb-c to DisplayPort and HDMI with both Intel and M1 based MacBook/Mac Mini daily. Haven’t had any issues on an ultrawide.
(1) Same here. Every couple of years. I also read The Elenium/Tamuli series.

I tried the Elder Gods series, and it was ... awful. The Redemption of Althalus was readable, but couldn't hold a candle to the other books.
> This isn't true. Banning is _per-subreddit_, done by the respective mod teams. Your behaviour would need to be especially egregious for it to be picked up by the admins.

Reddit will ban your IP and all accounts corresponding to that IP for alleged ban evasion of a single sub ban.

So no, banning isn't per subreddit or the alleged ban avoider would be just banned solely on the specific sub they have been banned before.

I thought so too, but Wiki says fertilizer was in fact the main usage. I suppose you get many extra units of grain per unit of added guano.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guano

"As a manure, guano is a highly effective fertilizer . . . Guano was also, to a lesser extent, sought for the production of gunpowder and other explosive materials. The 19th-century guano trade played a pivotal role in the development of modern input-intensive farming."
Hangul covers Korean language, IPA covers all languages. For example, some languages use clicks; though to be fair, IPA only currently covers 5 of the 6 clicks. Again, point is not IPA is the solution, but that having a common notation would make learning languages much easier and learning only one written notation would be needed.
This is the bleakest picture of family life I have ever seen.

Based on context I assumed "function point" was synonymous with static analysis' "code point". I should have checked before commenting.

This is a very good point. I hadn't thought about it.
This part:

>The founder of SQLite and all current developers have pledged to follow the spirit of The Rule to the best of their ability. [...] In other words, the developers are saying: "We will treat you this way regardless of how you treat us."

I would definitely not be able to honestly commit to such a pledge. Do you think they will add a "(except epa095)" if I get hired? Or maybe I just won't get hired. IDK, but just like OP I read it as a requirement for contributing.

Nitrogen fixation occurs naturally in the soil by bacteria. As the nitrogen is consumed by different species up from one trophic level to another, from plants to insects to bird, the nitrogen gets more and more concentrated.

Birds are fairly high up the food chain, and their excrements are very rich in various nutrients, including nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.

The Haber Process is faster but requires a lot of energy, and provides no phosphorus or potassium, so you have to source it elsewhere. Also it requires no technology and can be installed pretty much anywhere.
I mostly write about older movies because the quality of relatively newer ones is strikingly low:

> Mercedes doesn't plan to actually sell the EQXX.

Why the comparison to the Model S then, which is a production car? It’s not like Tesla wasn’t able to build a 747 miles car. They just choose not to, because it makes no sense for the vast majority of customers.
Are you looking for a site where people share interesting links on a variety of subjects? Perhaps we could make it even better if we had high quality discussion of those links. But of course, we should have good moderation of the submissions and comments so folks stay on topic. Maybe we could bootstrap the site by appealing to a small subculture, like “news for hackers”.

Yes, if only there was a site like this.
First, it may override another person's right but it may not. In general there is a belief we are obligated to provide the necessities. Providing sustenance to a fetus is the necessities. This is up to debate, but is not as simple as you are making it out to be.

Second, Aquinas was wrong on multiple things according to the Catholic Church. No Catholic believes Aquinas was infallible.

Thirdly, you are also (intentionally?) misinterpreting Aquinas. He did not believe ensoulment happened until later in the pregnancy, but was opposed to abortion at any stage because it violated natural law.

Fourth, most of Christianity does not believe it is bullshit since the majority of Christians are Catholic, Orthodox, Oriental, etc and appear to be in line with their Churches teachings. Maybe you mean the majority of American Christians? If that is what you mean, who cares? It doesn't even matter if it is the majority of Christians in the world. Christianity (well the denominations most Christians are in) are not democracies.

Fifth, it doesn't really matter if Christians agree or disagree with abortion. You can easily argue against abortion through purely secular arguments. Funny how proabortion people are always the first to bring up religion.
Around 5 years ago I worked for startup where many bad things were happening:

- some people were having second full time job, their performance was visibly poor but lead was assuming good faith and was taking active steps to motovate these guys, like giving them interesting projects and focusing on code they were shipping (he didn't know their bad performance was coming from having two full time jobs, this came out after company was shutdown)

- management of said startup never shared real revenue numbers (all zeros), they kept doing this until company was dissolved and we were told it's our last day without notice, even though our contracts had from 1 month to 3 months notice

- in one software house I have heard people taking pride of having two or even three jobs simultaneously and sharing 'hacks' how to keep doing this without being spotted
I failed at step 1

> No one is required to follow The Rule, to know The Rule, or even to think that The Rule is a good idea.

Oh thank god for that...
I don't know that sounds like mechanical praxis to me. If it wasn't grandfathered in then it was probably banned in a Convox.
