I mean yea but in my experience, what really decreases my morale and burns me out is terrible user experience. I understand that there are bugs in code and systems crash so I don’t really let IT issues bother me. But it bothers me to no end to have to use user hostile software day in and day out at work. Death by a million clicks.

Yes. But I’m referring to the article:

I keep building breadboard computers and single-board computers, learning the ISA and peripherals, and then not really using them for anything. I guess the building is the fun part, for me.

> doesn't freeze

In the sense that something that is frozen can't freeze. Apparently the melting point of sand is about 1700°C, so 1000°C sand indeed should handle about the same as 20°C sand or -100°C sand. That does sound rater neat for a large scale setup.

In a small-scale setup the convection currents, easy handling and lower insulation requirements of a water setup would probably still win out.
Unfortunately, Americans have never elected their leaders based on competence.
Anger as a manifestation of a nutritional deficiency.

Get a healthy daily dose of chelated magnesium and most of these non-life-threatening outbursts simply disappear.
The exploitative globalist economic systems that move resources and wealth long distances to the few with accompanying pollution will not be undone willingly by those few. They are buying citizenship and bunkers in New Zealand and have captured our governing bodies. Many people are too pacified and confused to fight against this. You are correct that as long as profit is the motive, nothing will change.

That's a response to Fox.

They're responsible for the problem and decline of discourse. The most you can say about Stewart is that he made it funny. I agree he shouldn't run for office, I just don't think he's responsible for the snide discourse.

That was 100% earned by politicians who brought clowns like Palin and Trump to the forefront.
I have been hearing a lot about cs50/cs50x. I will take as a sign and start the course.
I humbly submit another hypothetical that might help explain this idea:

A drawing of a plane and the claim that “this thing can fly”.

Unless you capture extremely subtle aspects about the materials and curvature of components, the depicted plane almost certainly won’t fly.
JVM is essentially project knowledge, if you're writing code that requires you to understand JVM internals really well, unless you're working on JVM directly, something is wrong within the division of labor. Programming with java requires no internal JVM knowledge bare the bare minimal surface ones (execution args, etc).
I agree that there are many things that we could do, and that there are costs associated with them.

"Banning free speech and the free flow of information is not a price worth paying."

I generally agree with this, but what harm is done by banning the media from using the name of a criminal likely to be notorious (mass murder, assassination, etc)?

I enjoyed The Daily Show, but political satire has been popular for as long as politics has been a thing.

“The oldest example that has survived till today is Aristophanes. In his time satire targeted top politicians, like Cleon, and religion, at the time headed by Zeus. ‘Satire and derision progressively attacked even the fundamental and most sacred facts of faith’…”

I think the malware designation is appropriate, though I support their cause. Malware detection should not be put in the position of deciding if a protest is righteous. If the change degrades the behavior of the package in a way that isn't relevent to its purpose, it is malware, regardless of who the malice targets.

There may be a case for distributing malware to enemies, as speed bumps if not as weapons. But if we do that with the current distribution methods it will tend to remove whatever trust we have left in those systems.

Which while unfortunate, is probably necessary. But removing the need for that trust will also remove it as a practical means of malware distribution, for good and ill. I'll go out on a limb and claim removing malware will be a net good.
That seems like a poor choice of ISP to me. If I dial my phone and have to listen to ad jingles before it connects, I'm changing my phone company.
Well, being a master of JVM internals does give you a very strong grasp on a very useful basket of concepts for GC and programming language implementations, so I'm not sure I would necessarily agree that there's no transferable overlap. But regardless, neither of these are applicable metaphors for a 101 level CS class—at the introductory level, you're better getting a broader survey of lots of different languages, because learning the transferable fundamentals is more important than learning the specific "trivia" of any particular language.
Ingredient prices can vary wildly, even outside of inflationary periods. Customers also prefer prices to change rarely, so the only option left is to change the pack size and/or reformulate. Eg cocoa prices varied from 3,300 USD/T to 2,000 USD/T in 18 months. Sugar nearly doubled in the last 3 years. A product released at one point would not be economical at another.

Of course, if you are not price conscious then you can mostly avoid these issues by buying the most expensive of everything, but you're talking frozen pizza here...
He also seems quite active on encode.su ex encode.ru, in case you understand enough compression arcana to read that (English-language) board (I don’t).
Last I checked American newspapers were not profit centers, so business is likely not the motivation - other than perhaps the value of controlling media in terms of propaganda, i.e. narrative control, which may be of value to other businesses owned by the entity. (Jeff Bezos buying the Washington Post, for example, is only a 'good business decision' in the context of providing a platform that enhances the business interests of Amazon (which seeks to avoid unionization) and AWS (which seeks expanded government contracts)).
Yep! And the Pods, Pins, Cows etc.

From an insect perspective, the larger tractors and deeper cutting ploughs have reduced the need for pesticides on farm crops, at the expense of destroying the habitat of insects that spend some of their time in the soil.
Bureaucracy and paper pushers always get in the way of doing actual work.
In Toronto (probably also everywhere) FG tend to hijack parades by having 100s of marchers, regardless of what the parade itself is celebrating. I find it quite obnoxious, since it makes every parade except for Pride look like it's Falun Gong Day.

They must pay a lot into the parades in order to even be accepted in such large numbers.

> And the whole concept of "SUV" is absurd. Most trips involve just one person. It would be better to just use a small car -- preferably an old one, that already exists.

This! Building zillions of new EVs and ditching old cars is not some magic recipe for a better world. We should instead limit our consumption in every way.
I think one can be particularly legitimately concerned about religions that:

* directly accumulate controlling ownership interests in key businesses.

* use dubious fundraising and recruitment practices.

* form complex webs of not-obviously-related entities to use in influence operations.

* have acted as a pseudo-cult of personality of a figure in living memory.

* are possibly abusive to their members in various ways.

About ten times as long as wihout using the ticket system and involving middle management
It depends on which area of law. My experience (not a lawyer, but did legal/civics communication for a couple of years) is that legal theory and constitutional law (or whatever the local equivalent is) would be the best match because a lot of that is basically arguing about systems design.

For someone who did like reading code, they would be more suited to patent or copyright law.
You will be surprised how often disembarkations in the electrical space go hand in hand with a potential embarkation into the fire space.
It’s not just the cost. A given flight crew only has 1 type rating at a time, so they would need new crew for a fleet with a different type rating
There was an electricity provider in Texas that charged market rate plus a small markup. They were crucified when the freeze happened last year and they continued to charge market rate plus a small markup. They also went bankrupt.
I hate it when it's operated by remote, but it's really nice to do it with the key in the lock. If you have to leave your car outside in the sun and you know it won't be raining, you can easily crack all the windows 1.5 inches or so to let the heat easily escape your car.
> In the 20-30 searches that I do in a day, I still have to google about half of them. Either because it's stuff Google does well (currency conversion, for example), or Kagi just doesn't get what I'm trying to search.

Currency conversion is not technically a search. It is question answering and Kagi capabilities are still being built. Google only has a 20 year headstart. Can you report all such cases to kagifeedback.org so they are on our radar?

Nobody thought a one off $500 or $2000 will be life changing and it's not what the researchers were surprised about.

The surprise is that on most subjective well-being metrics, the groups receiving some windfall cash reported significantly worse after getting some extra cash than the control group (equally poor, receiving nothing.)

I don't understand this appeal to try to elect basically a king in a democracy. A single individual should not have the power to enact huge change and as far as I can tell he doesn't in the US.

Instead we should focus on electing good people to congress. The president should be irrelevant mostly if a congress is competent and can work together. Even if a president turns out to be a psycho congress can veto prof bills and pass them.
I don't think this really makes sense until we have a surplus of renewable energy to run compressors.

When that is the case, we will have largely addressed climate change already.

Using a "surplus" of base load carbon sources to run compressors is just pushing sand into sand.
They might not be as wealthy or powerful as other religious sects, but them being a cult is still of concern because by nature they are 1) secretive and non-transparent, 2) capable of fierce organizational discipline including taking advantage of members, 3) operate via proselytizing including underhanded means, 4) open to extremist and authoritarian beliefs. That's in the very nature of cults. Add that to their historically-potent political influence from the Cold War, and they're still worthy of investigation.
As TikTok grows, so does suspicion
The difference is that Apple today has the volume to support the (smaller amount of, let’s be clear) differentiation. And while it’s less clear than it was in, say, 2001, each of these things probably has an audience.
This has been honestly the best no-barriers blogging experience for me. No publishing, no committing. Just open an editor and create or edit files. They sync via Dropbox. Made a typo in a published article? Just edit the file. Handles HN front page without any issues (it’s a static site deployed to a cdn). Author has been providing amazing support.

Also very convenient for casual writing/editing from any device where an app can sync via Dropbox. Can fix a typo on an iPhone via something like 1Writer while on the go.

I have a 5 year old EV (with 50k miles) that is nowhere close to replacing it's original brake pads based on a recent checkup. Regenerative braking is the real deal.

Also low rolling resistance tires cause less particulate loss and last a lot longer too.
Though if you have enough users pinging the server you'll probably end up with a bunch of operations happening, which do have fees. It may be better cost-wise to just put this SQLite database on D1 (especially if it gets read-only replication at some point) and set up a Worker to return tile data in one HTTP request. That way the infrastructure is still serverless, but doesn't require N requests per tile, just 1.

(I also work for CF)
Sure, but imagine making a medical experiment where you give once 1 mg of the drug (that should be dosed at 1 mg/day as per results of previous experiments for at least 2 weeks) and then writing an article in which surprisingly it comes out that it didn't work well.
I know loads who know about this. The guy was in a publicly published video last year, it’s not a massive secret.
Basically, you can run your IT department one of two ways. You can be a statistic driven group that ultimately will fail to serve the company because the act of taking those statistics will corrupt you. You can just serve your customers and take note of what you do and then try to figure out the stats afterwords. Maybe its premature optimization that gets you.

I would bet you can figure out how bad IT is going to be by the CFO's attitude towards IT. Doesn't really matter what the CIO thinks because the justification for budget makes you do stupid things.
why would a search engine use this for a different purpose than FB does?
> because of the choices of the wealthy

Problem, though, is that there might not be wealthy anymore, as global unrest may wipe them out.
You mean "Source?"? It's out of the scope of what the HN community can currently accept; it makes no sense to have another downvote party, sorry.
For one thing, it's a very small amount of money. You won't be able to turn it into a better job, better housing, or pay off your debts. Credit cards will regain the balance soon, or a dentist bill will wipe out the savings.

Everyone wants to get free money. That doesn't mean that a small one time payment will actually make a substantial difference in the long run.

Do these lesser developed countries have Medicaid, food and housing assistance, and high household debts? If I had to guess, the money went towards very different things, and the situations really aren't comparable. In fact, I suspect that the ease with which Americans can get into debt- hospitals charging after service is provided, credit cards, etc- may be the most significant factor.

Also of note, the $500 payments are less than the extra additional unemployment payments made during COVID, and if you have kids the $2k were less than the stimulus checks.
There's evidence in the linked study as well as in anecdotal admissions by some perpetrators (eg Columbine murders expected mass coverage and hoped that it would inspire others). Is there any evidence to refute this?
If A and B are entangled, and you observe B, would there be any way of knowing B was observed from observing A?

I doubt this piece was signed off personally by Xi Jinping or anything, but all these little details lodge subconsciously in your mind. Like, you might not specifically think of Chairman Mao as a poor rural dweller famous for his love of spice after reading this article, but after reading dozens of pointless details like it you might start to think he wasn't such a bad guy after all.
A doomer is equivalent to a denier in that neither resist the current path.

I’d wager that there are plenty of gen z kids listening to billie eilish and lil yachty and the entirety of mumblerap that would disagree with the idea that there’s no good pop music outside of the 80s.

edit: I’m not debating that 80s pop continues to be popular among younger people as it has since… the 80s. I was specifically responding to the comment about gen z needing to plumb the depths of 80s music due to some perceived lack of palatable pop music today. It’s genuinely a silly idea.

This is not how entanglement works, and while people do understand how entanglement works, it's a little subtle.

When you measure your atom on earth, you will get results with certain probabilities. When I measure my atom on the moon, I will get results with certain probabilities. My probabilities don't depend on how you performed your measurement - I can't tell what measurement you performed from just the results of my measurement.

However, our results will be correlated in unusual ways depending on our measurements. Maybe we both get a spin up result, or both get a spin down result.

These correlations go beyond the amount of correlation it's possible for classical objects to have, which is the essence of the Bell experiment, and specifically the CHSH inequality.

So entanglement can't be used to tell someone that the British are coming faster than normal classical communication. But it could be use to coordinate our responses (maybe both attack or both retreat, or one of each, with certain probabilities) in ways that can't be reproduced classically without using communication.

Hope that helps.
> I don't think the Democrats need a presidential candidate at the moment.

They actually do, Biden has one big con; age. He will be 81 in 2024. He already has very low approval rating and with recession looking more realistic, they're going to need to have contingencies.

Democrats are horrible at planning things in advance, this is where Republicans beat them.
In my experience it was and is both. The “you made them do it” narrative was very, very popular right after the election in 2016, as if the people who pulled the lever somehow didn’t have their own agency or couldn’t possibly hold complex motives. It was kind of a weird half blame game, half rationalization thing.
Thought provoking. I would love to see that article extended to include artists - e.g. musicians like Johann Sebastian Bach, whose father Johann Ambrosius Bach was a violinist employed in Erfurt (who was twin brother to Johann Christoph Bach another great Baroque musician). These brothers were the sons of Christoph Bach, court musician in Germany. On the descendent side, Johann's fifth child and second surviving son Karl Philipp Emmanuel Bach (C. P. E. Bach) - the "Hamburg Bach" - was a musician and influential composer. His brother, Johann Christian Bach, or the "London Bach" (the 18th child of Johann Sebastian!), was music master to the Queen of Great Britain. There's more [1]

> About 80% of that time is debugging

The same is true for most other people. In the Free Software community the efforts of an individual that is willing to contribute back to the community would mean that the (current) issue would be forever solved.

I understand that you enjoyed that time, I did too. We're both on "Hacker" News after all. But the utility of that time multiplied by the scale of the community means that less effort went back to community contributions.
5% is roughly the amount of people who will answer nonsensically in any survey. The so-called 'Lizardman constant'.

Not exclusively. I just use it as the terminal multiplexer and as a way to copy text to and from any program running in one of its terminal windows. The only reason I use gvim instead of vim is because the latter isn't compiled with clipboard support (in the fedora package repository).
I understand where you’re coming from. From my perspective, leadership in Washington is already surrounded by a cadre of policy wonks and researchers who guide policy and inform the lawmakers. While it is no-doubt true that the personalities of the politicians involved determine how open to reflection they are, the POTUS is often just picking between a handful of proposals which have been compiled for consideration.

This is something touched on with Bush Jr.’s Decision Points. The president has so many things to handle that they end up having little time to truly delve deep into the problem and wind up delegating most of that to their staff. It was a meme when Bush said he was “the decider”, but it’s very accurate.
