None of these solutions are anywhere near as easy as simply installing an A/C unit. Which is why A/C is so popular. People would love to cool (and heat) their homes in more environmentally friendly ways, provided those ways are as convenient and as cheap as A/C. Which they're not.

If anything, insulation (on its own) worsens the problem, because once the heat gets in, it's effectively trapped for days. If it's not combined with shading, or some other way to reflect heat away from the windows, a hot house becomes a hothouse real fast...

I wish there were an easy way to couple all heat producing and heat dissipating devices in my home. Too much heat in my bedroom? Move it into the hot water tank. Too cold in the living room? Use the waste heat from the oven to heat the room.
Most unions that have survived 40 years of anti worker propaganda are huge, yes. But they don't have to be. One thing I'm hoping comes out of this recent union revival is an exploration of different union types and sizes, to find new models that work well.

There may be other things about Ruby that I disagree with, but this is probably my primary disagreement.

It does make code more difficult to understand for exactly the reason you mentioned, and furthermore it can sometimes be disallowed based on the rest of the expression (such that parens are required).

In my own Ruby code, I often use parens when they are optional.
When I was about 13 years old, a retired engineer (slash wizard) who was friends with my mom gave me a 25,000 volt step-up transformer. Why any adult would do that is beyond me, but I was always very safe with it and managed to do a lot of cool experiments without killing myself. I let my friend borrow it, though, and his brain was calibrated a little bit differently as far as risk behavior, etc. He ended up shocking himself multiple times just because he'd do things like reach over and reposition the leads when the (freaking two inch) plasma arc died out.

It's an attempt to pick an example that "works" - most people on HN will not be sad that the union supports a political party, because it's the party they also support.

Immutability crucially allows for hashability, so you can use (some) tuples as dict keys.
There's tech and then there's "tech". Tech is getting a phone call at 3am that production is down and your code is where the logger says the problem is at and you need to fix it _now_.

The reason why people fall out of the first one is because you really have better things to do with your life. The reason why they fall out of the second is because it's bullshit and the people are there to be fired when something goes wrong and the gods of the market need blood to be appeased.

You can't raise a child when you're in tech because your social life is secondary. There are a lot more women in "tech".

I have no idea why.

1. Who is asking for $100/hr at this level?

2. Maybe CEOs and executives don’t need to pay themselves such absurd salaries, that would probably help.

What a strange comment imo. I can’t take the ‘everything will go up!’ stance seriously while higher ups are buying 10 houses and private jets. The wage gap is atrocious.

By the way, Switzerland’s GDP is 748 billion vs the United States’ 20.94 trillion. Comparing them like that is meaningless and silly.

You didn't actually backup much of anything you forward as argument points.

Before Tesla became the scale it did, at its beginnings, you probably would have called his intentions with Tesla "vaguely futurist nonsense" - same with SpaceX's reusable rockets - "that's absurd, no one's done it before - it's impossible!"

Pagefind: Static Low-Bandwidth Search at Scale

There is this strange trend to introduce companies/products with vague music video commercials that set the mood but provide almost no actual information, like this one, and the whole site. I guess it works, because the trend is strong, and why would they do so much work on that if it doesn't.

But to me it's repulsive. I come away with a negative impression of the brand. Maybe that's a function of my nerdliness, and normal people are attracted and intrigued.
Two monitors? Or three (the internal and two externals)? Because two monitors works just fine.

"sure enough, doing just that sent me into a rabbit hole of errors"

I did that exact thing in a project last weekend, and ended up spending 5 hours trying to fix the horrible mess that ensued. I only tried doing this in the first place because bundler errored out on installing one of the gems, and I figured a "clean" local setup would fix things.

For some reason the project still wanted to use global gems, and when I tried to delete them to force it to use local gems I broke everything. In the end I just installed RVM with a clean version of Ruby and let it use global gems.

I'm sure I did it wrong, but the errors I got were just insane. I couldn't delete gem X because I had gem Y installed, I couldn't delete gem Y because I DIDN'T have gem Z installed. I couldn't install gem Z to delete Y to delete X because my installed version of gem Q didn't match the version bundler wanted, but I couldn't install a new version of Q because of reasons...

After reinstalling the exact same gems (through RVM instead of the apt-get version of Ruby I had before) things still didn't work, and it took me quite a long time to figure out that the error "your version of [some YAML gem] is wrong" means that you have to add a line of Apache config telling Passenger to use Ruby.
It seems to me that this is na obvious heuristic - that experience matters when applied to well defined roles. The more simplified role You look at (just look at chess or go players) the easier it to defend this intuition.
But being businessman and especially sucessfull one is too ephemeral and not well defined - it entails almost every posible activity You can imagine. And I do not buy that this obvious heuristic is also so obvious in this case. Most powerfull businesspeople will claim it is but they have vested intrests in it being so.

“Is it therefore silliness to use anti-virus software?”
Starting another straw-man 2? let us discuss placebos that incur liabilities again… Many antivirus packages quietly collect user telemetry data, provide remote access, and break the host OS. People have documented armored-malware that utilize the antivirus program itself to bust through into kernel privileges ( https://www.zdnet.com/article/this-new-malware-exploits-bugs... ). Note, people primarily run signature scans on servers to protect Windows OS users from known email worms.

“ Is is silliness therefore to have car locks?”
Starting another straw-man 3? If you are a 2012-2022 Honda owner, than the factory digital-locking system is already broken for thousands of users. A physical key to a lock is something you possess, where a factory fob can be broken once the third party is eventually compromised.

“Does that mean the vaccine had no benefit?”
Starting another straw-man 4? A vaccine dose only protects against known variants, but often reduces the chances of dying due to how the virus variants severity has attenuated thus far. In my country we have above 86% immunization rates, but testing shows roughly 43% of the population were still infected at some point. Knowing people that were affected before the vaccine was available, in my anecdotal opinion the vaccine likely saved a lot of people suffering.

“You repeat this exact error over and over, even after having it pointed out. Why?”

Is that really the case? I don't have any experience in fields other than tech, but it seems to me that tech doesn't like long gaps in one's career, "cause it moves so quickly". Maybe other fields don't have as much of an issue with this?

> The question was what does the higher speed enable - of course it makes lots of things better, but waiting less is not enabling.

It enables more productivity, if it doesn't take me x time to upload photography to a client, or push a bunch of Docker images to a remote, but x/2, x/3. That cycle time being reduced is useful.
> Can someone explain to my why, if it's such a slam-dunk that Delaware will force Musk to pay $54.20/share for Twitter in October, why the current share price is just $37.74?

(1) No one, or very close to that, ks saying it's a slam dunk that Twitter will get specific performance, but many people are saying that there is an extremely high risk that Musk will not get to walk away from the deal with no cost (and several people are saying the opposite), and

(2) even if the consensus of legal experts was as you describe, “People competent with analyzing legal analysis” and “people with money and inclination to invest in Twitter” aren't the same group.

> So, what's up?

You are misreading what mos people are saying, and making the common mistake of assuming that any knowledge that anyone in society has must immediately be reflected in the market price.

> It also takes a while to increase the supply of electricity so that we have enough power for tens of millions of heat pumps running all winter.

The same therm of natural gas that would have been burned in a domestic gas boiler, if burned in a modern combined cycle gas electricity plant, can provide 2-3X the amount of domestic heat via heat pumps even in the coldest conditions. In shoulder seasons it's more like 3-4X.

The load we need to expand electricity production for is EVs, which use a ton of it comparatively.
I used Nim for hobby projects many years ago (when it was fresh out of being called Nimrod). Then it went through a phase of constant (breaking) changes and I couldn’t keep up. The code you shared looks beautiful - you’ve convinced me to take another look at it.
I get your point, but that's specifically compulsory union membership (which I agree is undesirable). It's a huge leap from that to "unions should be illegal".

Side note - where I am (Australia) compulsory union membership is illegal.

At its core a trade union is an organisation that represents workers interests, and that formally negotiates on behalf of its members. To say that unions should be illegal is to say that workers should be banned from collectively negotiating via formal organisations, which seems a tad extreme.

That’s assuming they keep their margins the same. The thing is Amazon isn’t manufacturing anything so their “thin” margins aren’t as sensitive to increased labor costs as 2-4% suggests.

Paying 18$ for something your selling for 20$ is a 10% margin, taxes and CC processing fees are similarly inflexible. So if 2-4% of the final price is profit then they could raise their internal costs by 10% and still be profitable.

The bot excuse for not buying Twitter is ridiculous. Every social media platform has a bot problem. It’s not hard to buy SIM cards in bulk, and setup hundreds of accounts for the purposes of spam or even disinformation campaigns. Twitter regularly weeds out those accounts over time (typically by looking at how the bots behave). So the bot excuse of bailing on the deal is not really warranted.

I've lived through multiple covid waves in a large city where the demographics of the hospitalized cases, intensive care cases, and deaths have been conscientiously recorded and continuously made publicly available and the extreme age stratification in illness severity has always been clear and persistent.

If you are claiming to have seen "plenty" of previously healthy 20-somethings and 30-somethings who've died of (and not with) covid and "plenty" means more than one or two of each group since Feb 2020 and you're not jet-setting back and forth across the country to attend specifically to exceedingly rare young previously-healthy patients seriously ill from covid in widely-separated locations whenever they pop up, I'm sorry but I don't believe you.

> A whole host of so-called 'evolved behavior' is really little more than cultural norms that people have adopted and now view as natural and normal.

That sounds plausible, but we really don’t know that it’s true. It’s obviously considerably more than just culture or genes, because, among other things, mating practices and thus gene flow are culturally determined. And then there’s epigenetics and confounds.

> The whole field is highly questionable and has little real value or scientific rigor.

This is true of all of mainstream evolutionary biology. Here is an article[1] touching on that.

Android apps have already been long since restricted in what syscalls they are allowed to use. And they have always run in a per-app sandbox. That's going to help tremendously.

And for things like ptrace they don't have to support it at all. As long as Android Studio knows how to launch GDB or whatever on a Fuschia-based device, they're good to go. It's not like any app is going to be relying on ptrace otherwise, particularly since of course the ability to attach to anything else already isn't allowed.
Supply of labor for the lowest paying jobs has been trending down since a decade ago (based on prices for those jobs having gone up since then). The bottom few income/wealth deciles have finally gained some negotiating ground, and so they can demand higher wages for late night work, customer service work, food service work, cleaning, and all that good stuff that allowed for cheaper products/services at all hours of day.

If I were to guess, the labor supply for those types of jobs will continue to decline, so I do not think there is any short term way to counter that factor of inflation without lowering expected quality of life or some miraculous automation innovations.
