I have a similar lows in the 80s. Except high is 105. I also have a wife that likes it 65 (70 is our great compromise). I don’t think any of this precooling/ventilation hacks would work for me. This time of year, even at night (thermal mass), if my AC turns off the house temp goes up about 1F every 5-10 minutes. It’s just brutal.
I think there is another angle to it beyond Truth vs lying.

There is also content and clarity. A lot of generic PR speak is devoid of actual content, it doesn't mean anything.

In this example, he is making a clear claim, like it or not. There is no ambiguity or double speak.

I think a lot of people are willing to tolerate disagreement and even lying if it is done in simple language opposed to evasion.

If you disagree, you know it. If they are lying, it is also clear because their statements aren't stuffed full of weasel words.
Got to love the classics like "it's not a chromium webapp so it's useless", and "it's not a 6502 hello world made by training butterflies to pull strings and achieve bit flips so it's not cool".

The only thing that this reminded me of is that my relatively expensive Chromebook (Pixelbook Go) just stopped receiving feature updates after a few years. This seems great, but there is no mention on how long they'll support the certified devices.

I already gave you one: this very site.

> a troubling sign that even journalism is relying on likes for reputation more than properly checking sources.

So-called journalism has been in that mode for decades, if not centuries. If anything, the Internet makes it harder for them to keep it up, because there are so many more ways for their practices to actually be exposed so people can see them. That might make it seem like journalists do more of that kind of thing than they used to, but it doesn't; it just means that they get caught at it a lot more than they used to.

> There has still never been proper public account for how this social media content cycle mentally manipulates people regularly.

Social media can only mentally manipulate you if you're naive enough to (a) use it, and (b) believe what you see on it. No amount of "public account" is going to fix that problem.
> If you're in a workplace you probably don't have admin rights to install software on your desktop unless you are a dev, and even then it's not exactly guaranteed.

OK then, ask the admin to install it, I don't see the problem. If its appropriate work software, then it shouldn't be an issue. Web browser should be for... browsing the web. If you're simply using a browser to bypass admin restrictions, it seems like you're doing something wrong.
The app could be used for that. It does work in the opposite, the lack of talking is shown in the chart as well. Not to say you need to arbitrarily start talking but, if this is something people ask you to do more and you're generally okay with it, then this could possibly help.

Well, why do we want to go back there? The demise of the arcade, brought on by computers and consoles growing inexpensive and powerful, allowed videogaming to become an art form (eg Braid, FEZ, To The Moon, etc, are artistic experiences if a film ever was, cannot be replicated on other forms of media, and cannot easily be monetized into an arcade machine). Returning to an age where electronic entertainment needs you to feed it money every once in a while, regardless of how much or why, seems like a step backward.

More concisely, why excuse shittiness with historical precedent?
You could certainly argue that "M" standing for "man" in this acronym is the most commonly accepted interpretation. There do appear to be a few others, though. "Monster" is mentioned second to "man", here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man-in-the-middle_attack
At least in NYC, there are bike docks - you don't just leave them wherever. This was quite controversial because I think each bike dock(which supports about 20 bikes) takes up 1-2 street parking spaces, so drivers were up in arms that these bike docks would destroy street parking in NYC..
Then you'll get all sorts of people pissing and moaning that the government is involving itself into business, blah blah blah. The EU is trying to do this to some degree and the Tech companies (of course) hate this.

And the govt probably loves the collection efforts as a single subpoena can gather a whole lot of data with little effort. Big Brother asked to appear.
Ok, but regardless "too much" heavily depends on context. It can't be that x minutes is the correct amount of time to talk regardless of what you are saying.
C# is really well suited to the task thanks to value types and structs, that gives you back control of memory that is lost in Java for example. It also has a lot of syntax sugar to avoid being too verbose and the memory safety and GC are desirable most of the time and can be avoided with well known tricks, like object pools, when performance needs are more paramount.
Used cooking oil is a great product use because it’s basically waste. It’s a logistics nightmare though because it’s distributed and must be collected. Even if it’s free, it’s expensive.
A strategy is nothing more than repeated steps that provide you a certain outcome. If you don't get the outcome you desire, you change up your strategy until you do. Simple as that.

Good strategy / Bad strategy covers this a bit further in more technical terms of a diagnosis, kernel, and coherent actions.

Everyone has a strategy, even if you don't think so. Being aware and having enough clarity to communicate your strategy is another thing entirely in which I think this article is trying to point out.

It feels a bit meta to talk about not having a strategy if you can't even define the word. Rumelt's definition is of a "good strategy". You can have bad strategies or no strategies too! I mean that was the other half of the book.

> So what is the motivator for people to give charity if there is no reward from God?

Love of ones fellow man.

> I would have thought there were some sort of reward for charity in Christianity.

To the extent that there may be, that reward is not generally viewed in most Christian doctrine as the motivator. Christianity is not, predomonantly, doctrinally, transactional in that way.

(Transactional personal beliefs are, however, far more common in Christianity than formal doctrine would suggest, and political Christianity frequently invokes a transactional view that is at odds with common doctrine.)
Now look at dangers in general and not just crime and the picture is very different[1]. Judging by the total number of deaths from external causes, NYC was the second safest metro area in the country behind only Boston.

Much of that is because NYC has drastically fewer transportation deaths than most of the US. The worst states have literally twenty times as many traffic deaths as NYC.

The term of art for this process from the MBA side is "Extracting the value from the brand". The editor developed the reputation for good work, which had some value. Now they're cashing in by selling the brand attached to poor work. The reputation is decaying at some rate, but slower than the editor is extracting money.

Notice, for example, you're not helping it decay, your story can't be tied to the bad actor. You have good reasons for this, but it's why the scam works.

The key correlate to understand from "Extracting value from the brand" is that when the process is complete, there is no value left in the brand. It's explicitly setting up a con, defecting from the iterated prisoner's dilemma. Lying with more words.

My favorite examples of this pattern are from other areas of endeavor: Kitchen Aid mixers, which used to be an industrial quality offshoot of Hobart and now is trash; and Singer, which used to be a superb sewing machine, and now is trash.

But you can see the pattern in many places.
It's not listed as a particularly safe or unsafe place by the measure of the Bloomberg article.

When I lived in DC I was several times narrowly missed by people blowing red lights, robbed, and once had to wake a driver up at a red light because they and a passenger had both passed out while driving at 11am. It definitely didn't feel like a particularly safe place.

Speaking of trolls and Norway, if you have never seen André Øvredal‘s Trollhunter, you should find a copy. Easily one of my top five film festival discoveries, and generally well received by anyone I’ve shown it to.

The setup is a bunch of journalism students trying to do an expose on a man who they believe is a bear poacher, and then it’s down the rabbit hole for another hour.
What's the thought process behind buying commercial support for a free, binary-compatible RHEL clone, instead of just paying for Red Hat support? Is the calculation that the once-in-a-blue-moon call to a commercial Rocky Linux support vendor when your server catches fire would still be cheaper than the cost of a normal RHEL license?

Heavy use of libc for file io and dynamic memory allocation, but not much else. Some of our code could be converted to using static memory buffers, but we also use some third party libraries that are not so easily changed. Thanks for the link, I will have a look!

Hey, but at least you don't use plastic straws, right?
Inspired by initiatives such as the Greater Idaho project [0], I wondered what would happen to the United States if redrawing state borders was very low-friction, and each county could join a neighboring state simply if they voted to do so by a large enough margin. So, I created this simulator where countries secede and rejoin states they're happier in; the demo provides a cool example of how it works.

Yes, the fact that such a strong incentive exists, and yet it hasn't been done, shows that cost is so much that even a 10x price difference isn't enough to pay for it.
I’m paying $1600 for a 3 bed in one of chicagos hottest neighborhoods. The trick is density, Chicago is made up of 3/4 flats and apartment blocks with solid public transport, so supply meets demand at a reasonable price. Of course the shitty weather and corruption helps lower demand too, but I’d say $600 a month housing cost is worth it.
> I'd love to see GEM, Canon Cat, NeXTSTEP, and BeOS here

That would be good. I'd also like to see something that's at a much lower level, basically an catalog of specific ways of accomplishing specific basic tasks in a particular UI, current or historical. I've switched between different OSes, and each time I sorely miss some very particular thing (e.g. Windows' very useful line-based Home/End key behavior vs. Mac OS's totally pointless document-based behavior). I'm sure even dead-end OS's had very good ideas like these that have been subsequently lost.

My weird dream is that some day someone could use a catalog like that to combine all the best ideas into something that's as close to perfect as possible.

It seems you can disable[0] networking with `unshare --map-root-user --net`.

Huh? I'm pretty sure that unity act as an ad server, and take some money from it. As do iron source, for that matter.

Honestly, this was always gonna happen post iOS tracking changes. Less data means worse ads and no measurement without substantial first party scale, which will tend to lead towards consolidation.

Edit: in fact, if you look at their S1, you can see that they make money from subscriptions to their game creation tools and also from operate services, to help customers monetize and increase LTV.

And yet RP2040 exists; an in-house ARM design manufactured by TSMC.
> It's not generating code that seems to be the difficulty, it's generating the correct code.

Also, it's not actually writing the code that is the difficulty when generating code changes for maintaining existing code, but figuring out what changes need to be made to add up to the desired feature, and where in the codebase controls each of those, and possibly rediscovering important related invariants.

For that matter, the really critical part of implementing a feature isn't implementing the feature -- it's deciding exactly what feature if any needs to be built! Even if many organizations try to split that among people who do and don't have the title of programmer (eg business analyst, product manager...), it's fundamentally programming and once you have a complex enough plan, even pushing around and working on the written English feature requirements resembles programming with some of the same tradeoffs. And we all know the nature of the job is that even the lowliest line programmer in the strictest agile process will still end up having to do some decision making about small details that end up impacting the user.

Copilot is soooooo far away from even attempting to help with any of this, and the part it's starting with is not likely to resemble any of the other problems or contribute in any way to solving them. It's just the only part that might be at all tractable at the moment.
I get that it would have a startup cost but I'm shocked that it uses more memory. Everyone complains about what a memory hog electron apps are and I assumed it was because of JS. But maybe we need something other than micro benchmarks to compare.

Freedom is likewise "unnecessary".

Eh. I wouldn't jump the gun on that claim.

"Where things happen", aka Manhattan? Tbh, Manhattan kinda blows these days. It's more or less a sterile, disneyified, yuppy, consumerist grazing ground from 100th down, with the exception of alphabet city and Chinatown. But even Chinatown's changing, unfortunately. Feels like the old Chinatown Fair shutting down was a signal.

Idk Manhattan has a few solid areas that have held up over the years, but I personally try to avoid it unless my boys and I have a skate session or heading to a museum.

Also, the commute from the boroughs really isn't bad. If you really need to get to Manhattan you're probably looking at 45-50 min on average, which is whatever... unless you live in bumfuck nowhere where there's not a stop within a mile or two.

Here's a landlock wrapper for FireFox: https://github.com/62726164/misc/tree/main/go/landlock/firef...

It's more restrictive than Firejail and is not suid.

Probably never an official one. That'd sort of defeat some of the point of WASM.

NZ doesn't do 30 year fixed mortgages like the USA does, so I presume this effects things a lot when interest rates go up? The bipartisan "medium density residential standard" legislation gave me a lot of hope for the future of NZs housing market, despite all the grumbling from some of my older relatives. Remains to be seen whether building supplies can keep up. Would be nice to have a land/capital gains tax though.
It's been close to 1.5 years. I've been using both since the beginning and can see pretty well how quickly both systems pick up updates. But let's just look at release delays (in days since the official RHEL is shipped):

ver Alm Rocky
8.4 8 34
8.5 3 6
8.6 2 6
9.0 9 58

Not seeing any patterns here?

One of them is being done by a team that's been shipping another Linux distribution for a decade and has the whole process streamlined and automated. The other started by loud release announcements, creating Slack groups and marketing materials, only then going for solving the technical stuff. I think I've made my choice pretty much right then and there.

Seeing how Rocky guys behaved towards the community (like their refusal to go to a popular Linux podcast unless the host was willing to forego any comparisons with other Linux distributions), and these release delays proved that.
Those subtitles are how I learned english in the states. They're actually quite good.

Disclaimer: I'm a former Red Hat employee, but only speak for myself. I'm also going to speak very frankly.

You got it. From the customer side support from them is cheaper than Red Hat's (sometimes much cheaper). From the supplier side, they don't have to bear much (or any) of the cost of development (beyond infra hosting and re-branding), so they can beat Red Hat's price very easily. I personally find that gross and unethical, but that's just my opinion.
I remember reading a wikipedia article that was really one sided and sounded like it was written by a total fanboy/fangirl of a thing.

I tried to change a part in the introduction, to remove unsubstantiated claims, and my changes were immediately reverted. I tried making a different change, again an immediate revert.

Then I looked at the history, and I saw that my changes weren't the only ones being reverted. Apparently one user watched the page and immediately reverted all changes that weren't 100% praise.

At that point I realized that Wikipedia is helpless against a dedicated editor with an agenda, and I take all Wikipedia articles with a huge grain of salt -- what you get to read is chosen by the most persistent editor
That's gotta be similarly true for a lot of major cities though don't you think? Vancouver, BC is broadly quite safe, unless you drive, have a car centric cycling route, or walk down certain streets in the downtown Eastside during particular times of the week or day alone

Ask HN: What makes you optimistic about the future?
I feel like we are living in uniquely pessimistic times, at least when compared to the last ~70 years. The world order is being challenged, and not for the better. Massive geopolitcal problems are ahead with no good prospects - continuing Russian aggression in Europe, looming aggression in Taiwan, gloomy prospects over Iran nuclear situation. The US may well see a new civil war in the next few decades. Demographics, particularly in Europe, are not looking good. There are climate change risks to look forward to. Deglobalisation will lead to less global economic efficiency/prosperity. Tech advancement appears to have stagnated, and in any case the dream of technological innovation making tomorrow better has been replaced with the reality of tech making a lot of our lives worse, disconnecting people, pitting people against each other, hijacking our attention. Culturally, we seem to be getting worse at getting along with each other. Generally, we seem to have given up on making things better overall, and instead just focus on trying to prevent bad/worse outcomes. I can't remember when I last saw someone outline a positive vision of the world we are building with a rough idea of how to get there - mostly, anything referring to the future is some cyberpunk dystopia.

Given all the above, what makes you optimistic about the future? Why do you believe that the world of tomorrow will be better than the world of today? What do you look forward to in the world of the future?
My unfettered opinion is that Lisp has not really caught on because it relies on macros to make it useful. Every project invents their own language on top of Lisp, incompatible with anyone else's.

It's like the problem with C++ before C++98. It had no string class, so everybody invented their own, all incompatible with everyone else's.

BTW, everyone says that they understand my point and use macros modestly and responsibly. Nearly all of them go on to create their own undocumented impenetrable language out of those macros.

It takes a programmer about 10 years of creating and using macros and dealing with other peoples' macros to come to the conclusion that the whole feature needs to be scrapped. Sadly, there aren't any shortcuts to this realization :-)
