Not really, the real disaster is the lack of stimulation.

I mean, unless for high-school students, everything that you learn will be re-taught eventually. I missed half a year (well, 5 month) and didn't go over divisions, still the next year was fraction and honestly, i wasn't less prepared than my friends.

I won't homeschool my kids, but if you do all the power to you. Ifyou don't go over the program and just stimulate them, as long as they go see/make some friends at clubs (music, sport, craftmanship, whatever) or stuff like that, they won't be that behind in highschool. If you are actually good and present enough to teach them STEM specifics, they can even be ahead (in my experience this is rare, but this might be skewed by the population of homeschooling parents that will actually send their kid in summer science camps).

We need to stop thinking of school as a place of learning only. School should be stimulating, a place to get friends and to be in touch with knowledge.
Flashing brake lights in certain circumstances are required in the EU (Uniform provisions concerning the approval of vehicles with regard to the installation of lighting and light-signalling devices 2016/1723), although the linked brake light flashers seem to be unlawful as they flash on onset of braking rather than extreme braking force.
I think you'll find that in the course of making an actual formal proposal there are more caveats than you might imagine, and not necessarily as many upsides.

For example, just off the top of my head;

2FA as a general solution allows for U2F, which is significantly safer than your solution, even if it also allows for TOTP, which is "only" as safe as your solution.

It's also a change in user experience. Migrating users with existing passwords over to these new passwords may be more difficult for any number of reasons.

That's just a few seconds of thought. A real proposal might explicitly address these concerns. Like I said, feel free to make that proposal. A post on HN is not going to cut it, and it isn't going to help anyone. If you want to be more involved in how PyPI is maintained I suggest you do so.
I guess we are talking about US infrastructure for air conditioning then.
In my experience, the huge majority of people who take an intro CS class want to learn how to solve problems with programs and to learn how other people solve problems with programs. At Stanford, almost every single undergrad takes an intro CS class but only a fraction of those go on to major in CS or get a job in software. You've got one class to provide useful information to people - teaching people about models of computation or set theory is not going to capture people's interest or help them meaningfully in the future. But if somebody says "hey, I know enough python to figure out how to split up a huge PDF into individual files, one for each page, then suddenly they are empowered to solve problems.

Same reason we wait until Real Analysis to teach delta-epsilon limits while the engineers are off taking PDEs.
I think you can get better quickly. Do it regularly. A small walk everyday would be perfect, but if you can't, a few times a week would work too.

I bet you'd be able to walk until you are bored instead of tired soon enough (unless you are never bored, but if you can be, listening to podcasts could be a way to go).

Walking in a city can be exhausting because of the concrete, the noise, the heat and the traffic.

I can walk for hours no problem. Elevation gain or loss and the sun counts more than simply the distance.

Being hydrated helps a lot. Good shoes too.

Good walk!
What's alarming is how quickly it has become not politically correct to suggest that anything about obesity is unhealthy or undesirable. I'm not saying to go around shaming fat people, but there's a reality to obesity that we all (at least in the United States) have been increasingly in denial about. It's a marker for disease. That doesn't mean that all obese people have a related pathology, but metabolic pathologies correspond with obesity enough that people should be concerned.

Part of the problem is that humans are short-sighted, and humans of modern technological society have an even shorter attention span, hence it's not obvious that the actions of today lead to problems of tomorrow. It might seem inconsequential to be obese today, but problems of varying degree are almost inevitable down the road. Maybe it's cardiovascular disease, or wear on joints, or cancer, or sleep apnea, or diabetes, or whatever. These things aren't trivial, but humans are mentally adaptable and can get used to anything, whether it's enslavement or the disrepair of their own bodies.

It's been distressing to me when some individuals I know who have bought into fat-positivity have suggested that there's actually nothing wrong with being fat and that it's a "sliding-scale", as if obesity can only possibly be a bad thing at the point of immobility. In reality, any amount of obesity can be a sign of dysfunction. But to suggest this is now considered offensive by some, such to the point that the media won't touch it with a 10-foot pole and even many doctors have stopped taking the weight of their patients.

If people are going to play the "if it just saves one life" card when it comes to measures against COVID, then they'd better fucking stop living in a fantasy land and consider whether the lack of health of the population is causing excess early death.
This kind if talk is "managing your mental state" by taking absurdly long viewpoint and ignoring human suffering.

"World will be fine eventually if we wait long enough. There is no reason to react to Pearl Harbor attack." – Franklin D. Roosevelt
So you say yes humans can affect the climate but we can't affect what's coming? That seems ascientific. If the models are right then we did cause the climate to change and we can bend its path into the future.
Note that that’s 10.5pt, which is 14px, so it’s not so much smaller than 16px. Still smaller than advisable (I recommend 16–20px), but nowhere near as bad as 10.5px which is really tiny.
This is a strange article with an odd angle.

They guy initially wanted to avenge the family’s misfortune by targeting someone high up in the church which he blamed for unscrupulously taking their money, when they proved too difficult (inaccessible) he turned his attention to mr Abe who was associated with the church and was out campaigning making for an easy target.

The article starts with an arc where a friendship two generations ago directly lead to a grandsons death. It’s a tool and trope for prose, but not apt for journalism.

It’d be like an article about mr Pelosi’s accident starting off with the Porsche company’s founding and how that eventually resulted in drunken driving accident by mr Pelosi.

There is lots to unpack and discover regarding the assassination of mr Abe but I feel this journalist is grinding some axe on the way there.
Yes lets end human civilization once and for all, what a great idea.

We are the ones who needs to be saved not the planet.

This kind of thinking is really scary.

This. The other issue with peak oil is that people have been predicting it since 2005 (if not earlier) and the general picture has been, and still is:

* we don't fully know when oil production will peak, because it's based on human behavior.
* when we do pass peak oil, we won't know for a few years that we have. (It's possible that the 2019 local max was "the peak"; it's also possible that it was related to COVID-19 more than oil scarcity.)
* very few of the issues caused will be attributed to "peak oil" at the time. Instead, they'll be blamed on state collapses, policy failures, economic depressions, and resource wars that will all be indirectly related to peak oil.
* peak oil is not necessarily a bad thing (although it probably will be, because the global system is already fragile and nearly universally despised) if we can find replacements in time--unfortunately, we're decades behind where we should be with nuclear energy, which for all its flaws is nevertheless the greenest energy source we've found thus far.

To the outside observer, "peak oil" seems like one of those things people have been worried about forever but that has not yet come to be and thus "never will".
Schools dont focus on CRT and I guarantee you that the kids are not loosing anything by LGBT not being taboo anymore.

If anything, schools and educations are harmed by scaremongering and mythmaking like you do.
> Covid has affected and killed enough "younger" people - by which I mean folks younger than 40. And not to forget long covid's disastrous effects on all ages.

I expect the number of younger people dying from missed cancer screenings etc. from Covid policies is higher.

The rate of mental health referrals amongst young people also surged.

It’s funny how it’s the “suits” that are the money burners and productivity destroyers. While individual contributors are left to obsess about productivity. A sign that we all can afford to collectively slow down.
Any suggestions about what [people of] India can do?
You don't need to tell them that. Rich countries could subsidize clean energy projects in poor countries. That's only fair given that most carbon emissions per capita have come from rich countries. Like a retroactive carbon tax.

To me, hiking means self supported long travel, possibly with an overnight and certainly with a pack that has food and supplies for a day. Daypack weight no more than 5-6kg, multi-day pack under 14kg if i can manage it (but will depend on if i've topped up on water recently)

That’s not the same as waking around a city, which usually involves much less stuff on your back, and sneakers not more technically-oriented shoes.

i’m good for about 20km/day in wilderness (class 1/2), substantially farther on class 0 (gravel paths, dirt roads,habitable places…), substantially less on class 3,4. (and i climb at about 5.9 lead/.10a follow)

I tend to prefer a bicycle to walking in towns and cities, so I don't really know how far i can walk, but it's a ways.

Like anything, routine practice and habit get you a long way. My parent is in their seventies and walks 10-15k around the neighborhood every day after breakfast. Goes through shoes pretty fast!
Tiktok is a national security threat for US. No idea why they are still letting it operate here given it’s directly controlled by an adversary.
All my understanding of perf-critical code has come from understanding of the usual - pathological cases for algorithms, memory layout, cache friendliness etc. etc. None of that except perhaps a very little of the first, came from my formal education, it's all been down to me reading up on stuff.

Can you give me an idea of what your CS & maths education gave you that you found so useful for tuning code? Maybe I'm missing something important.
> residential pays a flat rate all the time

Only true for some countries.

Denmark has a mix of flat rate and hour-based variable rates. In my case prices are often 3 timers higher in "rush hours" (typically weekdays 5pm to 8pm, 17:00-20:00) than during a midday in a weekend with a lot of wind.

I cannot choose flat-rate due to the situation in Ukraine.

edit: This map is very good to see the price and source of electricity in Europe (and how well the countries are interconnected): https://app.electricitymap.org/zone/DK-DK1
Which is to say, "Almost always". They can make whatever objections they want ("trolls!", "racists!", "climate-deniers!") but news sites and many of their readers don't like comments because they don't want randoms destroying a 4000 word article with a quick "Here is why you are wrong."
Interesting post. You are very much aware that it's the wealthy who do most of the damage, yet you somehow blame the so called developing world but don't want to be the to tell them to fuck off.

Am I misreading what you said?
Moved from Russia to Serbia a couple of months ago. Even though Serbia is a decade behind Russia in terms of services, public transport, road infrastructure with dirtier cities, higher taxes and rent, I feel better because my social life improved drastically. I like it here, but will eventually move on to Europe or L1B
Strongly second CS50. I took it when first getting into tech, and it was a very solid starting point to build my CS foundation. I’ve heard from folks I’ve recommended it to that they’ve continued to iterate and improve the course as well.
Ok ye not worth it the first 6-10 years or what ever it takes until the original coat gets bad.
I don't think about hiking purely in terms of kilometers. I try to enjoy the views, the food break, some good audiobook, sometimes a swim break if it is coastal or by a lake.
It is not just about stats, but more about how it makes you feel during and after.

I can't emphasize enough the importance of good shoes!

Stop playing the victims on how the angry HN crowd has downvoted you.

You’re being downvoted because it’s a bookstore that sells to the general public. Less than 1% of their customers would know how to pay with bitcoin, and even for those who do, they would likely keep their bitcoin and hold them right now since it’s at a 1-year-low instead of using it as a currency.

It’s just not helpful to the situation. That’s why you’re being downvoted.
Because we're not China and our internet is thankfully unregulated (beyond obvious things that violate federal law like child abuse)

Valid point. I'm sure there are people who would approach this that way. At the same time, I feel if you are interested enough to go through the whole thing and still brag about it that way, than you read them wrong :)

At the point I am at life I don't yet know what I'm deeply interested in, so this is a way for me to get general education, get some exposure to variety of texts that have been written across time and see if anything spark joy. I'm not planning to pain through the books. If I'm not enjoying something I can freely skip. If something sparked interest, I'll be sure to reevaluate the list.

Thanks for the typo note, fixed it.

Just ran into a similar problem for creating an installation script for my project, Keagate (https://github.com/dilan-dio4/Keagate).

My solution was to use a bash installation script (https://github.com/dilan-dio4/Keagate/blob/main/packages/scr...) that checks if Node and NPM is installed. If it not, it automatically installs them via NVMs one-liner (can be seen in the bash here: https://github.com/dilan-dio4/Keagate/blob/d7442118a4846daf3...). The script then invokes the rest of the project via node.

This creates a cross-platform, streamlined installation workflow that natively goes from Bash (eww) to Node (nice).
Sorry you got downvoted but it’s a legitimate question. If we’re really on the road to “Manhattan is gonna be underwater” levels of climate change that we can’t prevent, only keep from being worse, then as you said, why aren’t things like seawalls being built _right now_ as a safeguard in case we don’t hit our targets?
Much. Form gets better when you start walking more often.

Remember to not overdo it and to take breaks; hikes don't have to be long.
Agree. Just made the point it’s different to judge from hearsay.

Of course you are able to relate, but it’s not the same.
I can relate to somebody with cancer, but as long I don’t have the experience myself it’s “only extrapolate”.
Everybody I know with an electric car has this tarriff.

One of them is trying to install a heat pump too to double down on this approach.

It rarely gets discussed in the media for some reason.
An interesting followup read would be Graeber/Wengrow's recent work of anthro/archaeological research, Dawn of Everything, which expands on newly-understood historical possibilities for large-scale, post-discovery of agriculture human societies and trade. Our current systems are not as inevitable as people pump them up to be
India and Africa are adopting air conditioning very rapidly.
The issue is so does everyone else. You can make a trip to Disney World go from unaffordable to affordable if you do it in the off season. Plus you spend less time waiting in lines.
Nobody forces developing countries to go through the same process as developed countries for raising the standard of living. We have the technology to achieve a very good standard of living with very low carbon emissions. It's not that much more expensive than burning fossil fuels either.
Get good shoes, this can make a huge difference. Apart from that it's just staying consistent and walking as much as possible and you'll be able to do over 20km pretty soon (depending on your current fitness ofc)
You will, as with any new exercise have a fast development the first few months. First the nervous system will just spin up and figure out what you are doing and that will and allow you to walk more, then your cardio will improve and lastly you muscles will adapt.

The beginner gains are the most fun :)

Walking in a city you can easily do 5-7km/h but when hiking in a forest or mountains your speed will be more like 2-4km/h.

Keep walking
> Yeah, and training makes your muscles hurt and damages them when you haven't trained in a long time. Still training regularly is the healthy thing to do, and then your muscles will be just fine.

With training, it matters greatly how much and how often you train. It is easy to over-train and even easier to cause yourself an injury.
I think they’re saying economic development in other places will create emissions that dwarf any mitigation achievable in today’s economically developed regions. Any plan that doesn’t address this likely scenario probably won’t work.

I'm up to 8 miles of what they call moderate hikes and it tires me satisfactorily.

Between 2008 and 2012 I had gotten extremely lethargic and sedentary. In 2012 I started walking - could do 2 miles at best. I gradually got up to doing 5 miles and easy biking over those years. After that I started hiking in the mountains - long easy ones first and now I'm up to easily doing 8 miles moderate ones. (Heat makes it more miserable for me than anything else so I go early in the mornings.)

I am 50 and don't look at it as a competitive thing - just something to stay active and feel good.

Also 100% agree with the comment below on getting good shoes that fit you well. You do not want to get foot or back pain. Also avoid walking on concrete pathways.
So is this guy's idea the stupid cousin or not?
I am Canadian and you are correct. OP lost me at "CIA" as well.
Canada has a "spy agency" and it is CSIS as you state.

I don't think many Canadians would think of the RCMP as "federal police" but more "national police" because their have odd responsibilities:

"
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) is Canada's national police force. The RCMP is the only police force in the world that acts as a federal, provincial and municipal force.
"
It’s a German guy who is saying the press should make sure to report the race of the perpetrator/suspect even when not directly relevant to the crime, so that the public can draw inferences on which ethnic groups are most likely to commit crimes. A bit on the nose.
I think the other thing is in the US he now has some competition and they may just overtake the % of EV’s sold in a few years. People will have choices for EV instead of pick Tesla so he potentially used this buying twitter to sell off a bunch of stock. I wouldn’t be surprised if he finds other reasons to sell off massive amounts of stock in the next 2 years.

My guess is cybertruck will be DOA. Anyone who wants an EV Truck is likely going to order an F-150 Lightning - looks like every other F-150, F-150 is the best selling automobile in the US.

Once other auto makers ramp up production, Tesla cars will continue to be a niche luxury product with some gimmicky features.
You will get better pretty quickly if you keep at it. Hopefully you live near a place where you have a bit of elevation gain for your hikes. Another thing that I’ve found helps a lot is squats and deadlifts. I would say the main thing that sets my hiking ability apart from my friends is I have much stronger legs.
I can't think of both "then humans will migrate elsewhere as we always have" and "The sky is not falling :)" as not a cruel joke. Yes, as a species we'll migrate, while a significant part of families die from hunger, riot violence, live in slum conditions, etc. I mean, we're taking millions of people living in extreme conditions or dying within a few generations. That's very much "the sky is falling".
I'm going to make some predictions, bold, dystopian predictions yet ones I feel at least rather confident in coming to be.

1) Political action will stay under the threshold necessary for real change on human behaviors to realize limits on human-caused warming. We're gonna heat the planet and politicians will remain anti-aligned and selfishly focused on partisan/regional /short-term gains with the support of their votership.

2) As we heat and resources exhaust, some populations are going to wither, some will adapt, and some will attempt to migrate towards cooler regions (the poles). This will cause political strife. As one particular example, draw a line from China's western extent straight north to the pole, and see how what is present-day Russia defends against "the iron will of 1.4B people" who are struggling to live where they are (China already views itself as an Arctic power). Another: USA pushing north beyond the 49th parallel.

3) Population control is topically political suicide in democracies; no one in power will dare broach it in seriousness at a national or multilateral level. Few such people will even give voice to relating resource levels with population levels. Instead, the mitigation strategy will find its loci in migration control and containment (keeping-their-problems-in-their-own-Stans) like we do today with Bangladesh.

I truly hope I'm wrong, but I have a hunch I'm not ..
