But I agree that ham's tend to be "lawful good" as you say. That is why I generally do not get along with them but have always had ham gear. I've had the FCC sitting right next to me monitoring what I do and to my surprise they did not care at all that my friends and I were running power since we did not interfere with anyone. I have also had the FCC suggest/imply that we resolve issues with locals that were shutting down some trucker channels since they were too busy. This was in the 70's and 80's. I'm sure they must have evolved by now.

Sure, but those are policy choices unrelated to price controls for gold. Reagan helped break unions and reduce taxes on the wealthy, and generally weaken labor protections.
If you use a Mac, I’ve really enjoyed using Divvy. You can define snap zones with keyboard shortcuts. It’s $20, but that’s worth it for me considering how much I use it.

Brawndo works really well too. Toilet water, not so much.
You can get a copper roof that is pretty much permanent. The problem is that it will outlast your life and your plans for the house. You won't get to amortize it forever to realize those cost savings.

People don't generally want to enter 50+ year long commitments for physical assets/money.

> Now add on to that interior details, floor coverings, appliances, and such many of which are lucky to last 10 years

Interior stuff pretty much lasts forever if the house is kept at a stable temperature range & humidity. I have 1 nice hardwood door inside my house installed 12 years ago. It looks and works like brand new. You can basically pick things for inside your house that will last forever.

There's a pretty common trend on HN and in general to embellish house upkeep costs. I think it's mostly people who rent doing it, because they have no idea what it actually costs or aren't handy enough to do simple repairs.
The coolest thing about biology is that it's not just in every cell of your body, but every cell on life on earth.

But the funny thing about that is that the genes for say the 'helicase' looks like it was made by a copy machine, churned out by the millions, for every life on earth. But if you look very carefully, it's not a copy made from a master copy, but copied from each other. There are small mistakes made by this 'copy machine', so that you can trace the different generations of the copy of the 'helicase' based on what mistakes have been accumulated. You dig further, and you can map out different generations and make a tree like diagram. The further away from each other the two helicases are, the more mistakes have been accumulated.

You keep doing that for every life on earth, and you get something like this [1].

And then you dig further and realize that there is no Hand of God there, and creationism is a primitive explanation for something people didn't understand, like how lightning was God being angry.

cm2187 is correct. It was, and is, incredibly frustrating to see the news media and laymen talking about sars-cov-2 by saying covid or covid-19. That's always been the disease that sars-cov-2 causes. You can be infected with sars-cov-2 without having covid-19. In fact, based on China's latest massive population wide PCR testing about 90% of people infected with sars-cov-2 are asymptomatic and will spread it without ever having covid-19.

I'm sorry the science communication during the pandemic has been so terrible but there's really nothing suspicious or disengenous going on here.
It’s convenient if you also have something that automatically builds your code when it changes, and then refreshes the browser (that latter part isn’t necessary). That way, you don’t have to think about saving before switching to the browser. Or you can switch to the terminal to run your thing in one keystroke instead of two. It doesn’t make all workflows easier, but it doesn’t hurt too often — if I decide I don’t want to make a change, I just use the editor’s undo feature, or revert all changes to the file using git.
Don't knock it till you try it. 80% of my usage is text - terminal, code or my notes. Even most of my web usage is text.

I won't go less than a high dpi screen, preferably near 4k.
If this thing does jump out of the gay community and into the general populace and kids start dying or being scarred for life it is going to potentially set back the acceptance the gay community has gained by decades.

Having had dual 5Ks for the past five years, I probably wouldn’t be excited even with it being 2x 4K. The bezels aren’t big enough to warrant the drop in resolution for something like this to me.
Now, did it end well?
Well, if it truly is tied to cancer, I'll be sure to let Hacker News know.

Back in college I was paid $50 to wear a backpack sprayer loaded with the stuff and go nuclear on a guy's weed-infested garden. Backpack sprayers leak, so I got glyphosate all over my skin, my back in particular.

It's been a little more than 10 years, so nothing, but then again, I'm also only 32, live a fairly healthy lifestyle, and have no family history of cancer, so maybe it just sort of cancels itself out.
Approaching mid 30s here, been writing code in some form or another for a couple decades and I enjoy ligatures too.
That is 5:4. The 4:3 1600x1200 IPS one are quite decent but they are getting bulky by todays standards. Also require a lot more power and they are starting to die. (I think last model is from 2005).

So I'd be prepared to do some repairs / get spares if you can+want.
One thing I learned from moderating an internet community in the past: Some of the long-term users had become experts at skirting the rules. They had seen so many posts and watched so many other people get moderated that they learned how to walk right up to the line without explicitly crossing it.

Some times they'd become very good at baiting other people into breaking the rules. Or they would writing extremely inflammatory comments in a pseudo-cordial writing style that looked friendly/naïve but was actually crafted to incite a flame war.

There was a lot of "You should know better" admonishing these provocateur forum members, but for many the only solution was to remove them from the forum completely.
You're looking for a "tiling window manager".

Another tip: In my setup I created dummy screens to fake multiple monitors in RDP.
I got a 21:9 display for my main monitor which forced me to turn a 16:9 monitor sideways so it would fit on my desk. It's very much just meant for stuff on the side because it is not comfortable to be looking up and down like that. The best arrangement seems to be to have stuff that I'm not focusing too hard on in the top half (a YouTube video or Discord when I'm just glancing at it) and to have in the bottom half stuff that I'm more actively focusing on (general browsing or Discord when I'm doing a lot of chatting)

If they can’t do well on tests designed to measure skills the students have been failed. They have not learned skills. The US education system is quite good at teaching skills. A large majority of countries do worse. The skills that PISA tests are a prerequisite for almost any more rarefied learning that is often held up as the real purpose of education.

Being able to read for meaning, extract information, combine knowledge from two texts, distinguish between what is stated and what’s implied, even to figure out something is implied, all of those are the kinds of things we expect an educated person to be able to do. PISA tests them. Trying to make people care about academic subject matter is very difficult because most people do not care and do not find it useful. Thus they forget most of what they learn in school. Insofar as education is forcing the tastes of one class on everyone else it can burn. Most people don’t care, just like most academics don’t care about sports. Forcing sports on them would also be an injustice.
> you add an argument to a method, you need to update usage of that method. You add a generic to a class, you need to update everywhere that class is used.

You're talking about two different things here, though. What if you add a generic parameter to a function? It'll often be inferred at existing call sites, but worst case, same as any other change to a function's signature.
> Accusing others

They are pointing out that Monsanto does it, not accusing anyone here of being a shill.

I thought it was a good reminder that views can be, and are influenced by industry (it's the foundation of modern PR?). I believe it's helpful to make others aware of this.

At least that's how I read it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"unexpected item in bagging area" ... haven't heard that for years.

The new hotness is the camera replaying your last scan while flashing a red light for clerk help because you were holding the item wrong and it thinks you're trying to sneak something past.

They also seem to be confused if you're using both arms to scan things, it beeps but it asks for help often as not. Apparently ambidexterousness is rare enough to be suspicious.

I dont mind the self checkout, I like it better when it works right; and when there's actually clerks to come kick the damned thing when it gets confused. The store I go to has a newly installed fleet of i dunno ~30 or so self checkout lanes, and probably one clerk to 16 lanes. Who is usually tied up with customers using checks, here.

I think I've seen all of those functionalities implemented in esoteric programming languages! Nice comparison.
PCBs during this time period were very brittle and fragile. The board itself was prone to cracking under high heat and the traces could easily lift off the board. Not a good fit for the hot vacuum tube circuits of the era. Zenith and other manufacturers often advertised point-to-point wiring as a feature for reliability
Ah damn I messed up part of my comment, it should've read:

But yeah either way - houses were expensive, and have only gotten more unaffordable as inflation outpaced wage growth and house prices outpaced both. Wild.

Is there a recommended way to manually review and correct OCR generated like this? I've tried different methods over the years but nothing makes it easy enough, and tools that deal with hOCR all seem to be broken in different ways.
This monitor would be perfect as left and right side displays. It needs a matching center display that is twice the width and the same height, yielding a three-monitor configuration with a nice large central display.
Evidently they had internal communications coaching employees on how to communicate about glyphosate, knowing that it’s dangerous and that they can’t claim that it’s safe.

That’s just one damning factor, but there are more. For example, in multiple cases juries agreed that Monsanto has manipulated writing and data from studies of their products. Essentially Ghost writing studies to suit their needs.
Yes, yes. Education is multifaceted in its consequences. Merit depends upon objective testing. Common culture and high trust society depend in large amounts upon education and schooling. With the quality of schooling available, shortage of teachers and quality teaching personnel due to abuse and low salaries, political interference with teachers handling their own material, religious indoctrination in charter schools, and the amount of students requiring remedial classes in college. Of course, more data and parameters can be considered, but I don't think anyone can consider the broad state of secondary and primary education in the US as "healthy" or "improving."
Some people have claimed that putting the entire world in a single social network causes various problems and thus splitting social media into smaller communities, as in the Fediverse, should be better.
Do you run your 32" 4k monitor at 100% native scaling? If so how far away do you keep the monitor from your eyes?
I don't know if there's data to support this but from what I can tell Linux users are just poorer on average. So it's not like they think low res screens are "sufficient", most of them just don't think it's justified to pay twice as much for a better screen and the market just reflects this. Or maybe I'm just projecting my own views on the issue.

Doesn't matter though because things are changing, native Linux device makers like S76 and Tuxedo provide have started providing 4k screens on their models.
As long as it works right, it's great. Especially with a small amount of items, I can get checkout out and on my way quickly.

You are being absolute in what people are capable of when they are burned out, which I think is foolish because the feeling and level of burnout is subjective.

Overcoming burnout is looking at your situation from the outside in. What you described is clearly a downward spiral. Logically, wouldn’t it be better to write some words for a plan than no words? If you can procrastinate for 25 minutes while you are burned out, you can spend 25 minutes writing a plan, even if it’s one word a minute or one word every 5 minutes.

The key is to break down what you need to accomplish and how you will accomplish it in the smallest incremental steps possible. Once you have that list, it becomes less overwhelming to make progress. Don’t focus on completion, focus on making tiny incremental progress.
It’s not that subjective anyone using twitter still sees spam accounts promoting a website, business, product, or scam on every post. Twitter just said they remove 1M spam accounts each day. Their mDAU is claimed to be around 200M. This means they are deleting around half a percent of their users every single day. That seems like a lot to be identifying to me, but doesn't really determine if they are deleting enough or not but does show me that being higher than 5% is very possible when you have to delete that many accounts every 10 days.

I have a 2019 Macbook Pro, and the only 'nice' part about the hardware are the speakers. Everything else is either meh or absolutely terrible (okay, the screen is okay too).

Compared to a cheap HP I have, the touchpad is slightly better, but since the touchpad is huge I trigger it more on the Mac, the keyboard is annoying because it has a fn key on the bottom row on the left, rather than ctrl and don't get me started on the touchbar. The fingerprint scanner... mostly works. The SSD is fucking slow, 10k IOPS. The laptop gets unberably hot when connected to an external display, since it cannot use the builtin video card. Fans can be adjusted to be at full speed... until you go into sleep, at which point they reset, so it gets hot again. I'm also not impressed by the battery life, it's probably the same as said 500EUR HP, sometimes even less (yes, fuck zoom, and the 1h battery life it gives me)
Nvidia graphics cards.
Just saying.
While I understand your view, and shared it, I was recently diagnosed with exactly that and have had to reevaluate my position.

I don’t know WHY it happened or what caused it, but it’s absolutely a real thing. It’s also absolutely miserable; trying to navigate all of this without the woo and without others telling you that you are crazy or peddling woo is a hell of a needle to thread.
On top of that: avoid engineering consulting firms. Hire an engineer that can stamp and sign off on plans to do the work for you. Pole surveying is not all that expensive to do yourself, and there are multiple technology solutions in that space now that didn't exist 10+ years ago. The first engineering consultants I had to pay were billing $6/m. Doing it myself with a P.Eng reviewing is under $1/m.
> Self selects the programmers willing to learn rust down to an elite handful.

How true is that?
I interpret the article quite differently. The triangle example (which as the author writes is actually an example from “Lockhart’s Lament” on American math education) isn’t about whether triangle-area-formula was ever justified to students. It’s that students aren’t given the chance to really ask the question themselves - a chance to approach math, or biology, in the way that a mathematician or biologist does in reality: trying to work it out for themselves, and being invited to wonder at just how improbable textbook biological facts are etc.

I agree with your point that some students will be more inquisitive, and will need less prompting to do the above thinking themselves. But many (most?) students are not like this, and it’s a shame that many of these students could enjoy a subject that they instead come to loathe.
It has better contrast, deeper blacks. I find reflections just as big an issue on matte screens too.

Glossy screens sometimes have good antireflective coatings which help (new imacs, ipads eg)

>Miami is the closest large city in the US to the Carribean,

The proximity of South Florida to the Caribbean islands may not be as significant as its proximity to the United States.

Miami is just an overgrown resort to begin with where you're still basically supposed to already have money before you go there. There is also the expectation that you will graciously go back home once the money you brought with you has been expended.

Woe be on the person who thinks they can just move there and make money working like any other US city. There are not that many legitimate sources of income. Traditionally, people don't ask what others do for a living, that would be considered rude and a major social faux pas.

There has simply never been enough jobs for the majority of people who have always found themselves needing some kind of income, so an incredible variety of alternative approaches have been engaged to separate money from those who earned it elsewhere.

And this has always been a big majority so the culture runs deep at all income levels.

Agriculture, retirement, tourism and real estate were always the main things, and the retirement, real estate & tourism "industries" prospered from people who made money elsewhere, so the agriculture was the main local thing that actually created wealth.

But the farmers and farming corporations can not create the amount of wealth equal to what crowds of incomers can bring with them, so development logically proceeds to an extent and gives rise to interesting real estate opportunities occasionally. Real money has been made subdividing the Everglades and there's plenty more of it out there.

Now there are actually lots of heavy industries and loads of smaller industries that truly do some manufacturing or add some tangible value to raw inputs, but by "lots" that means a very small percentage of the local economy compared to other states. Even Tampa or Jacksonville are incredibly more normal than South Florida and always have been, but they are quite limited in industrial work and more of a resort environment compared to other southern or northern cities.

Well anyone that can sell millions of dollars worth of networking gear could be financially successful without needing to do anything questionable at all, and personal greed in this one case may or may not have had the strongest influence.

There could also be the aspect of a businessman in Rome doing as the Romans do.
In both cases I think the problem is that you and the author are slinging around judgements without any actual references to specific code. It's easy to make broad statements.

In your case, you tend to imply that these are due to Rust itself. But is it just due to manpower? C APIs have had so many man hours behind them I can't imagine Rust even being within orders of magnitude.

Without diving into the details these broad statements are just pointless.
Behind a paywall so I can't see the details, but note that nowadays when you buy Roundup it has a lot more then glyphosate in it, and I trust that "a lot more" far less than if it was just glyphosate.
I worked for a professor (James Milner-White) who was interested in early protein evolution and I remember a conversation we had about the possibility that proteins could have evolved from large to small.

Not sure if it was from a published paper, but the idea was that early proteins might have been large - say several hundred residues - but mostly disordered.

The smaller, more ordered 'domains' would then have evolved within these larger chains. Recombination and deletion would then have pruned down the disordered parts to leave more efficient smaller proteins.

No idea if that idea makes sense or has any research behind it, but it's quite a neat theory.

Does organic food really not carry glyphosate?
Not sure where the author went to school, but when I was in school, this is in fact how we learned biology, as well as mathematics and chemistry. Maybe our teachers were good, but we derived facts like the area of a triangle through geometric as well as algebraic means, and same for biology.
