Enormous? It doesn't sound like that much. Any cycling commuter probably spends at least 5 hours a week on a bike, and that's just a regular person. Throw in a weekend ride and that's 10 hours. Obviously, 30 is 3 times 10, but we're talking about endurance athletes here, compared to regular people just going to work and getting groceries.
I liked it, but I've got a funny thing about being timed. It stresses me out and makes a game that should be relaxing completely unenjoyable. I've heard others say the same to me often, so I know I'm not alone. Although there are clearly plenty of other folks who do like the added pressure of a timer. If you had a mode that completely turned off any times, I'd actually keep playing.

Indoor farming ranges from sprouting seeds - a truly beneficial act - all the way to the so-called Vertical Farms where you have stacked racks of crops all powered by electric lights, pumps, and so forth.

I prefer sprouting things like broccoli and other seeds, but make no mistake, it's a labor of love; heavy on the labor.

You can read all manner of reasons for growing your own - and here, I'm not speaking of "cash crops" and doing it as a business; I have no intuitions in that space. My intuitions are born out of a desire to improve on the quantity and quality of certain foods I consume.

Hope that helps in some small way.
I remember being in rooms where celebrities from one subculture were talking with celebrities of another culture. Maybe not so different than why some people would attend the TED conference or Davos.

I'm not saying I should necessarily be in the room lol. Just that maybe there is a way to limit it where there is a level of assumed parity among participants. For example, maybe Warren Buffett would like to talk with the guy behind moneyball from The Oakland A's about the influence of statistics on sports. I think yes it could dilute too much, I just don't think it necessarily has to.

I hate advertising but I agree with almost all your points.

When I actively look for products, I don't consider it advertising, I consider it information. When I go to a market or open the store app, it's because I want to look at products. I only object when companies start trying to shove that information in front of my face without my consent.

Cultivating reputation, word of mouth, real world events... It takes time and money. It's much easier to just spam people with ads. I don't think that should be allowed.

There are so many parallels and analogies to this idea, but there's a reoccuring pattern where some system becomes dominant and then seems to lose the characteristics which made it successful, ultimately becoming doomed.

You see this in business, where companies climb to the top through aggression and innovation, but then become laggards and protectionists (and ultimately fall away). You see it in countries. You see it in technologies. Heck, you see it in biological systems.

Perhaps that's just a normal part of the greater process, these cycles of growth, innovation, collaboration, etc., followed by stagnation and decay (and then death, or near-death, whereby the system returns to the growth effort).

The nice thing about being human is that we theoretically have the capacity to choose what our goals are (assuming our basic needs are currently met). As such, we could be choosing to work on goals such as "everyone always has food, shelter, and physical safety". This surely must be achievable, but maybe it would take virtually everyone working toward this goal. It's not really a sexy way to spend your time if you are already fortunate enough to have those things... such as if you live in a place rich in resources and with relatively few people. You would not be particularly compelled to contribute to the wellbeing of others, especially if you could not see them. But we have the privilege of awareness and knowledge, so we can see that there are still many people without even food or water. We could do something about this if we made it our focus.

And it might just turn out that having this collective focus would save our collective lives later. There's a reasonable chance that humanity will face a food crisis due to climate change and population growth. Practicing now at learning how to solve these problems might mean the difference between humans existing into 2100 or not.
I’m confused by your comments, which wording do you think it should have? Like parent comment already said, the presence of the word ‘male’ in that sentence does not imply an assumption that all facial hair is male; it can legitimately mean that only the male actors typically need to shave, which is usually true. Facial hair growth has sex based differences in humans, so I don’t see a problem with having the word there, nor with removing it. Why do you think it’s a problem either before or after, and why do you suggest that changing the text to fix the very issue you called out is a bad thing?

I don't know. I've watched plenty of anime and plenty of it is garbage. Ghibli is an outlier. Possibly the worst Ghibli movie was Earthsea and even that is merely average and only bad when compared to the rest of their catalogue.

Other cultures have their thing too. Bollywood has dancing in everything which still doesn't make sense to me after watch a bunch of Bollywood movies. Korea has their K-Dramas. Every one is the same.

I think the take-away here is that we can manufacture the same product (kerosene aka aviation gas) without the traditional inputs (oil/petroleum).

This seems like a good capability in and of itself. Not sure what the economics look like, but there could be a market if this enables other trade offs in the production or avgas—maybe producing some nominal amount with much lower electrical grid requirements?

> Deleting the filter caused all possible routes to the internet to pass through the routers, resulting in several of the devices exceeding their memory and processing capacities. This caused the core network to shut down.

I don't get this. If a switch can handle only x number of routes, it won't get "overwhelmed" if you try to add more, it would just refuse to accept any more routes. Why would the network go down completely? These things are designed with extremely robust software, you simply start getting error logs saying that the device has run out of memory, but the operation continues. Most of the heavy lifting is done in hardware chips, so the software just can't program new routes, but the routing itself should continue unaffected.

Something that clearly isn't even attempting to be a street legal vehicle like a golf cart is easier to excuse. A cop who sees this might be more suspicious of the vehicle and how you actually use it.

I've rarely if ever seen a CLI I'd prefer over it's GUI equivalent.

GUIs are discoverable and you can add a lot more features without needing to justify learning them all or Googling every time.

Which means they are are very well suited to true premade software, wheras CLI always seems to imply a more build it yourself approach with simpler primitives, which can take time.

GUIs also don't have to be consistent, CLIs do if they want to be easily scriptable, so you can have a lot more context sensitive stuff, confirmation prompts, etc, which increases safety.

CLIs always seem like they're pretty much digital versions or passive tools, they don't really do anything, the user does.

The usual CLI workflow seems to be "Take an input, do this thing I already thought of in my head to it, and nake this output", wheras GUIs seem to better lend themselves(for better or worse) to actually being the stage on which the thinking happens, the same way you can use a CAD even if you can't see the whole thing you want to make in your head.

Which makes GUIs amazing for occasional tasks, that one might otherwise not want to learn a whole program for, and forget by the time they need it again. I suspect that is key for allowing computers to take over as many tasks as they do.

I almost think that CLI fans seem to not do as many random assorted things on computers, and are more likely to use dedicated devices or analog/mechanical. CLI seems very well suited if a lot of your computer use is real computing, taking an input and making an output.
Perhaps, but I don't think you could argue that how things were 20 years ago was better.
Aren't most of those examples famously unprofitable?
That would most be a local problem and would not continue to exist for a long period of time.

tzdata is complex, but having waded through it a few times, it seems needlessly so for the desired use cases. There is more editorial comments than data in the files, and they spend a lot of time and effort creating entries for historical time zones so that you can convert times in the year 1942 into territorial time zones that don't even exist any more with perfect accuracy.

Except, even then, it seems like it's not. If you dig into the time routines that use tzdata, you see they must use an unstable conversion process that _may_ converge, but has a simple counter protecting it in the case that it _does not_ converge and in that case it just gives you a best guess time that may still be wrong anyways.

Really.. the problem I have and I suspect is the majority of cases, I have a time in Some/Zone and I want to tell someone in Another/Zone what the time would be on their clock, today, right now. The time our grandfathers would have used during the War in summer is never going to be material to me in this instance or for the majority of use cases.

This isn't meant to be overly critical of tzdata just a recent annoyance I experienced when trying to find a minimal code and cross language solution to the above problem.
Same issues in Asia
I'm not talking about adding the 32-bit ModRM & SIB byte to the 8086, just the single-register subset with no special cases. Decoding would be exactly the same as for register operands. And there would still be microcode, just not for adding the base+index register - maybe for adding an offset if it is present.

Yes, the 8086 was simple, but all the parts needed to do this should be present: whether an instruction uses register or memory operands is entirely under the control of hardwired logic, the microcode is the same for both (the address calculation subroutine runs first, but is invoked automatically by the hardware).

I would say Intel chose to make addressing more complicated in order to add a feature that complicated register allocation for very little usefulness. If you see something like [BX+SI] in disassembled code, in 99% of cases it's not an actual instruction, but data or misaligned code.
Sure but that’s why I think the take-away here is to design the system such that you can do such automated rollbacks. For example, the devices should also be connected to some sort of isolated management network. Granted, pushing out a config to the routers could also break their connections to said management network, but it is less likely anyways.
Wood is often protected by plastics. Acrylic wood finish and paint are plastic. Particle boards such as those in many Ikea furniture are covered with a plastic sheet.

> Is princess Mononoke the best movie from Studio Ghibli?

As far as I am aware, most anime nerds say that Grave of the Fireflies is the best movie from Studio Ghibli (for this movie, Hayao Miyazaki was only producer and not director). But be aware that Grave of the Fireflies is a rather sad movie.
I don't think it immediately went 'kaput' -- and then internal communications would have also been affected so that would delay communicating the failure as well. So, it might have been hard to initially tie it to the config change.
He says it cost 7k. Compared to the price of a new golf cart thats actually not bad at all. Might be useful in places where golf carts are street legal, which seems to be getting more popular in the US.
The base+index encoding is a significant code size reduction though, and as the element size is a restricted set of powers of two, the scaling is cheaper than a generic shift. So base+index uses less memory (less icache specifically), less instruction dispatch overhead, and is able to perform the needed math more efficiently. I assume in modern chips most of these costs aren't really an issue, but that wasn't the case back when the ISA was created.
> In my experience people refactor code to their own understanding of the problem and not all refactorings improve the code.

That's a great point. I once read (here on HN I think) that the value behind a piece of software is not the code but the team whose members all have the same mental model of the problem and can successfully map it to the code. Lose the team and you lose that map.

None really; it's a chaotic process.
a) It's easy to suggest gatekeeping mechanisms like degrees, tenture, journals controlling publication "should all be reformed", without proposing any specific alternatives; but they all exist to prevent an obvious set of anti-patterns; if you eliminate them you just get different anti-patterns. Can you make a specific proposal of what's a better system to replace them with? b) In any case, the $$ incentives and root-causes are distorted, no point in scapegoating the gatekeeping mechanisms. The US pharmaceutical industry (for example) is 3.2% of GDP, and is 48% of the global pharmaceutical market. That amount of $$ is obviously going to distort policy at all levels. c) Scientific fraud should be criminalized, there should be stiff penalties and they should actually be enforced (actual prison, fines, losing job and tenure, retracting PhDs). Otherwise you're playing a race-to-the-bottom in a consequence-free environment, against someone else who's going to do unethical things. d) Until you address the root-causes/incentives, people's behavior won't change, why would it.

The LCoE for solar PV is around $30/MWh. [0]

One barrel of oil equivalent is ~1.7 MWh [0]. A 100% conversion from PV AC output to oil would give a barrel of oil for $51, which is considerably less than one pays for oil pumped out of the ground right now. But keep in mind that commercial solar plants are operating somewhere around 20% efficiency. Assuming this new technology had similar cost per unit collecting area, 4% would give a barrel of oil equivalent for not hugely more than the cost of an actual barrel of oil. 15% would cost less than a barrel of oil.
