But there are jobs, and people work in them. I, for instance, use Elixir in my day job, and so do 100+ other engineers at my company alone. I’ve also been approached by recruiters on LinkedIn for other Elixir jobs. So yes, there is a significant amount of jobs in Elixir
Earlier this year I had a cold-brewed coffee from a local coffee shop that tasted more like lemonade (unsweetened) than coffee. It was bad, and I'm not sure if the cold-brew was the exact trigger or just the final nail but I haven't had any other coffee in the months since then despite drinking coffee multiple times per day for years and years.
Are there any videos of this in action? I would like to see how it deals with methane and water pockets. Is the device strong enough to deal with the compression and blow-back?
Professional will remain professional about their tradecrafts.

Non-professionals continue to get their smarts from dubious sources (like street-creds, or in this case, poor journalism).

It is how our civilization remains propped up and properly so, as now the professionals will have additional headaches to deal with today.
It's similar in the US, AFIK. The Colorado River Compact was a treaty between nearby states that has nothing to do with the federal government.
It's hard for me to believe that this man is sincere in his beliefs.
I don't think that is at all clear. Building a pipeline has a financial and environmental cost, but so does moving 10s of millions of people.
Yes, but the problem is non-technical recruiters. They want to be looking for a "Java programmer" or an "Elixir programmer". If you tell them that a good programmer is a good programmer in any language, and that they need to look at what the person has actually achieved, they won't be interested. Keyword-matching on Linkedin is a lot easier.
Sounds like a dream job! No joke.
There's a ton of legacy Windows systems and Windows systems in non-tech offices. Plus schools, universities, etc...
Westerners of the XIX century were the ones who brought many species to extinction, traditional cultures demonstrating a far more advanced sensibility to these creatures, often considered embedded with sentient attributes. Traditional cultures lived mostly in equilibrium with the fauna they consumed. For example bison went almost extinct as westerners arrived, while their numbers thrived when the the Native Americans ate their meat.
> But chances are that a NodeJS back-end and one written in, say, Elixir, won't feel much different after the honeymoon is passed.

This is very, very far from my experience, having worked extensively with both of these particular examples.

At my current job I deep dive into a lot of years old, kinda sketchy Elixir code, and it's almost always less effort to learn/fix something than I've found in other languages, especially other dynamic languages. Except when macros are overused.
It’s allowed to get something wrong if you recognize the error and change course. But we’re 2-3 years into their errors and all they’ve done is double down.

Splitting a long document in chunks and using the `draft` option while writing speed up compilation times considerably. Otherwise you're producing a finalised typeset document of 100+ pages every time you hit F5, no wonder it takes ~10s to finish ;)
Indeed that NG that is burned adds to CO2, but its considered neutral since it was derived from atmospheric CO2. We still need sinks for CO2 that will be removed to atmosphere. But at least we can do it cost efficiently.
I am totally fine with banning verbal attacks on others, just like physical attacks are typically banned IRL too.

Basically the same rules can be applied, for example a counter attack in defense is a lighter offense than an unprovoked attack.

I think that this does not particularly limit someone's ability to express their opinions, ideas and beliefs.
As a co-founder of a hackerspace this makes me sad to see. I wholeheartedly agree that these spaces provide a value to their communities disproportionate to their cost to operate. However usually these situations come from a lack of time for the board/high-energy-members to participate in the needed fundraising activities. Our space is organized by 100% volunteer effort, I'm guessing there is a similar situation for Hacker Lab (or else this is a fundraising tactic itself, it's been done before by other spaces). In the beginning we had the energy to get a lot of stuff done, but that energy gets consumed by inertia and overhead of keeping a space running once it becomes "successful". Until a space becomes large enough to have a paid board of directors in some form it seems the energy of the board glides downwards over time. However without the overhead of a paid board a space can glide for years on thin margins. I'd say it's almost a catch-22.

I don't agree the government should just hand out indefinite free money for these spaces to operate though because it would also kill them in due time. If a space doesn't have people with the drive to keep it running it would likely consume tax payer funds and provide less and less value over time from mis-management. I'm not suggesting grants are not a good thing though, grants have specific goals in mind and start and stop windows of operation.

Hopefully they get some angel donors out of this posting to HN ;-).

Well yeah, your filter bubble has filtered you into a group of people who also experience the same filter bubble as you. Go into a twitch stream or watch a YT video intended for 15 year olds, for example, and you'll find it'll be an alien language to you with its own set of memes and references that you'll have no comprehension of. It's so unpleasant that your mind will just glide off it and regard it as non-content because of how strong the filter bubble effect is.
No, they're "dragging their feet" because it's impossible to test, it's unfalsifiable.
And you know millions people who loves playing games and build their own computer to use the CPU they want, the RAM they want, the GPU they want etc.

Macs are nice to some extent but incredibly locked down for my taste both on hardware and software level. Have to use it at work but I'd never ever buy one on my own.
I switched to linux once MacOs started sending telemetry abouy any move to the homebase.

I love it (and sometimes hate it), and would certanly not go back to mac, however I miss the trackpad (three finger drag), the firewall checkbox to block all incoming connections and press space to see preview (that works in finder, and other apps, ex mail attachments).

KDE has some features that are better than mac. For a developer linux is awesome.

I think there is no other way other than linux. I loved macos but they utterly compromised themselves with the telemetry stuff.
Now that's interesting
As someone who has terrible kitchen cleaning habits- definitely not true lol.

Wet coffee grounds will grow mold quicker than any other food product I've seen.

>I would love to know a way this can be solved as its painting a depressing picture. I don't like how this makes me feel.

Easy. Stop banning people unless the content is illegal. Stop acting as moral police. Let the community police itself by burying offensive content. Give users absolute control over what they see. And ban bots.

This “problem” only exists because Twitter wants to control what you see.
I believe this is what the kids are calling the 'Bothsidesism' Fallacy. Or is this meant to only be said in domestic political contexts?
What was novel about COVID-19? There is a worldwide epidemic pretty much every decade https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_epidemics#Chronology
> A public square, in the united states, has typically been an area where people can shout out their concerns or whatever they want to anyone who can listen and the government cannot stop it.

Growing up in Birmingham, AL I had a couple teachers who had dog bites and remembered the hoses from when they tried to shout out whatever they wanted in public squares. It's always interesting how people have such a rosy view of history when it comes to forming a much beloved but not well thought out belief.
I’m the same way, not picky as long as I can figure out where to click. I just did the reverse of KDE -> Gnome, I miss KDE here and there but I’ve been able to take the pieces I miss and replace them with gnome extensions.

Gnome was faster to get started with but KDE felt deeper. KDEs UI is denser, which imo makes it feel less “modern” but both KDE and Gnome are usable.

Best thing you can do is to spin up a VM and try it out yourself! Everyone’s different.
> where the vaccines were originally claimed to prevent infection and transmission by government agencies and pharmaceutical corporations

Who claimed this? In America, for the mRNA vaccines, preventing hospitalisation was the only endpoint even tested across the board in the pre-release studies.
Minute 319 [1] determines how water allocations will change during conditions of drought or surplus. This is also covered a little at the end of the Wikipedia article.

In a max drought scenario (Lake Mead surface elevation <1,025 feet) it looks like delivery requirements would be reduced by 125,000 acre-feet, with different delivery thresholds above that range.

Personally I feel the C committee should've disbanded after the first standard (the C++ one, after the 2003 technical corrigendum). I didn't mind C99 much, but it looks like C(++)reeping featuritis is a nasty habit.

These gratuitous standards prompt newbies to use the new features (it's "modern") and puzzled veterans to keep up and reinternalize understanding of new variants of languages they've been using for decades. There's no real improvement, just churn. Possibly it's one of the instruments of ageism. More incompatibility with existing software and existing programmers.
Worth noting that in the limit the distribution P(human did/said A | context B) is a complete definition of human behavior. If you could model this perfectly, that would be a perfect model of a human ie identical.

It’s so unpopular that literally every post on HN/proggit related to language models has the same comment ;)
> Editors like vim and emacs make it much faster to edit text, due to their powerful editing, navigation, and search/replace features that aren't found in any other editor

This claim is dubious at best. While a power user may, in fact, be reasonably fast with some types of text, for most users these types of tasks rarely occur, are already a part of the editor, or can be as quickly done with existing tools.

(For example, context-aware selects and proper refactoring in IDEA beat anything vim/emacs have to offer any day, and twice on Sundays)
Examining the I in AI
The torturer wanted him to say that there were five lights as that would be a signal that Picard was now accepting the torturer's reality. It's based off a concept from Orwell's 1984, where another torturer says that they can make someone believe 2 + 2 = 5.

Did you follow the Sinclair method, or was it some other approach that involves naltrexone?
The way I read the parent post, they are implying that SARS-CoV-2 would have been taken more seriously if it left disfiguring scars on the faces of 10%[1] of those who contracted it, rather than "just" killing 0.1%[2] or so.

1,2: numbers entirely made up from my head, not from sources!
People ascribe malice to drug development when simple economics explains things easily.

Incredibly high initial capital cost (development, safety, and testing + calendar time for same) + low probability for success (efficacy and no safety issues) = high minimum floor to drug development costs

When faced with that reality, how are you going to choose between alternative capital investments if you're running a pharma company?

Of course you're going to preferentially develop drugs that (a) will have continued, high volume demand throughout the patent period & (b) address a disease unlikely to be cured.
> It doesn't have to be C, but as of today there is no other option

Isn’t C99 an option? Why can’t more advanced things go into newer C and people who genuinely need something more basic can use C99.
I think you're living in a software developer bubble if you believe that.

In Ireland, the only Mac owners I know are other software developers. Everyone else uses the €500 windows laptops that were on sale however many years ago their last one broke.
People talking about COVID, vaccines, China and Bill Gates in one paragraph make me lose faith in humanity.
Public libraries do have and can support spaces like this for some kinds of equipment. A laser cutter or a 3D printer are pretty easy to manage. It’s not hard to rapidly get into the liability area though. Also, you have to have someone around to who knows the equipment, and can answer questions and educate others. It’s an expensive proposition.

(Our local library just got one though :) )
Absolutely love it. Not perfect yet but I will use it. Great work.
One way to look at this is that the natural state of things is that everyone has access to the local public square, and only a few have access to regional or national public squares. The early internet was a perturbation in this natural state, giving millions access to nationaland global distribution of their thoughts for no cost, but natural law is bringing us back to a steady state where you can only reach your friends, colleagues, and neighbors unless you make a career out of journalism, celebrity, big business, or politics.
> In USA and Western Europe Macs became the de facto general purpose computers.

Your suspicion is wrong. Sorry.
As terrible as Windows 11 is compared to older versions, I haven't used Windows regularly in 7 years. Looking at Windows 11 with a brand new perspective, at actually looks decent. They just need to finish polishing it off (two different versions of context menus is the most obvious thing to me without doing any deep-diving).

I won't be going back to that spayware-infested/anti-user crap though.
The author writes,

“my plain text emails, written with glorious 80 column limit, would be viewed with random line breaks on mobile clients”

He’s doing it wrong. You should write your emails with a 998 character limit. Only add linebreaks between paragraphs. If your paragraph is going longer than 998 characters, recast. This way, the client will break the lines properly and the reader won’t have to read a chaotic mess of random linebreaks. Your email will look good on phones and everywhere else.
Who said anything about suffering? I enjoy spending time with friends at work. Whether that is working together on a project, chatting, or having a beer on company time.

nice piece of sci-fi here.

we are probably already close to the maximum number of humans it is optimal to maintain in a single space craft at any one time - any more and the cost of maintaining life will outweigh the value additional members might bring to the project. I can imagine a ship full of automata though, maybe with a few humans around just to 'keep our hand in'
> Interesting, why isn't the moisture on walls behind insulation ever an issue on new construction?

Newer building codes have started to mandate more external insulation:

* https://www.buildingscience.com/documents/insights/bsi-001-t...

Depending on the climate zone, up to half the insulation may be mandated to be on the outside (behind some kind of cladding (brick, stucco, siding) to protect it from UV and bulk water).

Per the above article, by having the outside be insulation, your interior structure is kept warmer, and so condensation is less likely to occur.

Do a search for "Joseph Lstiburek" and "Matt Risinger", who have lots of articles and videos on building science.

Elder's provide a stability of culture and knowledge which is both good and bad. It's sometimes joked that science progresses forward one funeral at a time. The great luminaires of yesterday are the curmudgeons of today holding back any new competing theories (until they die opening up the floodgates).

Well, Japan has APPI and as far as I know APPI is semi-equivalent to GDPR (which would be the EU's "horrible" Internet law, which doesn't apply only to the Internet btw). So you might hate Japan as well, right?

No, it probably won't spread nearly as well outside the gay community, and never become anything resembling Covid (or smallpox fortunately...).

But it's spread so extensively in the gay community, that it's also going to infect people outside that community now. And it's likely going to stay with the gay community as yet another STD for many years going forward.

There is also a high risk that now, when it's solidly established itself in humans, it may mutate to become much more human-to-human transmissible. (like Covid did)
Growing more quickly means higher ratio of calories to other nutrients.

I had felt the same in 2015 when I got banned from Facebook for not providing my real data (they asked me to provide a photo of my ID which I thought and still think was silly). But then I realised how good it was for me (as a user) and started thinking maybe we should aim to go back to the 'small Internet'. By this I mean small forums, maybe chat rooms or something of that sort. I often go back in memories to the late 90's and remember how I felt using the Internet back then. Of course this is nostalgia, but sometimes I wonder if I can build something to get that feeling back.. like island of the 90's internet

That "standard" card seem to be a pretty huge one though.
It has been a widely studied disease before the current European outbreak. So we can safely say it's not an STD.
You wrote: <<Just pay what ever the market rate at the moment is.>>

This is positive ridiculous. Are you serious in 2022? Your electricity is surely mostly sourced from hydrocarbons. Are you paying "true cost"? Surely not. If electricity was suddenly twice the cost due to carbon costs (which is probably the true environmental cost), you would be shouting from your windows to build more solar panels and wind turbines.
Several years ago I spent a few weeks in a country that as far as I could tell didn't have a "coffee culture" and all that was readily available was packets of instant coffee. I hunted around and found a vacuum packed brick of ground coffee at a shop, but didn't have any equipment to brew it. Then I worked out that you can throw some in a glass bottle, pour in some hot water from the kettle, let it sit until everything settled to the bottom, pour out the liquid, and "voila!"

Later on the trip I bought a Turkish coffee maker, which works on the same principle, so it's not so much an innovation as it is a hotel survival tip.
> Is there something deeply wrong with the WHO?

Yes - it is antithetical to national sovereignty. Simple as.

Yes, I used the Sinclair method but there are multiple therapies which use naltrexone and I don't think the Sinclair method is obviously better than any other.
I just had some of this last week. I'm not a cold brew drinker, more out of habit than anything else, but it was delightful! Make the exact same way you would an espresso shot.
What's much worse is that most of the problem is on GTK, whose terrible post V2 design affects lots of software outside of Gnome.
Agreed. I don't quite understand the focus on the WHO. They don't really control much in a practical sense. In terms of global response to the pandemic, I think we both under-reacted (at the start) and over-reacted (towards the "end"). China could have stopped the virus if they had locked down back in November/December of 2019, instead of updating their WeChat filters. Whereas by mid-2021, we were past the point of controlling the virus, but NPIs continued in force for a while longer before people realized they were mostly pointless.
WSL 1 was ABI emulation, which I agree is different. But WSL 2 is Linux in a VM, which is actually one layer less than this, because this is Linux in a container in a VM.
The article was published in April 2022: "90.96% in 2013 to the current 73.72%"

Statcounter desktop OS share has 91.28% in April 2013 and 74.79% in April 2022. That's very close. So clearly the article is talking about desktop share.

And of course the article talks about macOS as the alternative to Windows, not iOS. The obvious presumption is that the article is about desktop, not mobile.
In the mid-70s, I typed my senior thesis on a reconditioned manual (Underwood) and a borrowed electric typewriter. By the time I did my masters in the late 80s, all my papers were composed in vde on CP/M and formatted with TeX.
Wow I had no idea REI owned the site at one point. That's a shame they dumped it, and I bet they're regretting that decision.
Maybe that's USA related, and even if there is a trend, i dont think MS is threatened by MacOS. It's just a different user base. So many people i know who use macs, really get them for some weird perceived 'status' reasons, and they basically use MS office on them all day. Some of them actually run windows on their desktop mac.
