Freely rotating bearing surfaces don't really offer much compatibility with multicellular life. For nutrient/waste transfer or nervous systems to work between an outer body and an axle-like thing would be a big evolutionary step! It's fun to ponder how it might work and whether it could work robustly. We have the same kind of obstacles with machines featuring freely rotating assemblies: tire pressure sensors have to wirelessly communicate. Steering wheels, on the other hand, support wired connectivity thanks to a flexible connection and limited range of motion similar to joints in animals.
Yeah, fuck those kids that haven’t yet had the chance to willfully disobey the system as a whole.

They earned this. They could have told mom and dad to turn off those cartoons and stop buying food they like. Insist their parents stop participating in modern slavery like a couple of fucking drones. Or maybe just one drone. Who knows. The kid might have failed to keep their parents together.

“Don’t buy that cell phone for me, Dad. I’d rather technologically isolate myself than be chattel.” See? Was that so hard? Jesus, you’d think this were rocket science.

Adults have made a lot of bad choices. But kids? They haven’t even lived long enough to make that many. They haven’t even had time to completely ruin their lives. Pathetic. They don’t deserve opportunities, like I had, through no actions of my own. I would have liked more, but those kids, they haven’t earned it.

Hang on that most certainly didn’t sound right when I read it out loud.
Don't burn yourself out by trying to get straight A's in every course. Treat homework as a constrained optimization problem. Decide up front how much time you're going to put in each week, and then allocate your time in a way that maximizes GPA (with a bias toward the courses in your major). This will leave you some time for a life outside of academics.

Take advantage of the athletic facilities and available PE classes even if you're not on a real team. You'll be able to access top notch equipment and coaching at little or no extra cost.
That was an interesting read.

>Reagan took the solar panels off the White House for a reason, so his buddy James Watt could kill off any alternatives to fossil energy.

The panels installed on the White House were not photovoltaic solar panels - they were solar water heater panels. (After they damaged the roof, they weren't replaced after the repairs were done.) It wouldn't have been possible to run the economy on solar water heater panels.
> it is not available in either the Microsoft store or Chrome extension store.

Not a Chromium-based browser user anymore, but it seems to me like a deliberate choice so as to protect user privacy. I'm sure you are aware of this, but I feel like the context is helpful for my next point/question.

> I'd be suspicious having to install any extension using developer mode.

Don't you have to enable developer mode to install extensions via .crx files? If my assumption is correct about them trying to preserve user privacy by avoiding Chrome/Microsoft stores, what alternative is there to install the extension without enabling developer mode?

What do the values of E, F, and x even stand for? Googling this yields no related results [1]. Presumably F and x stand for the energy output of a storage system and the duration that system is online, respectively. But simply stating that equation is pointless, unless you actually give a plan to deliver on appropriate values of F and x. It's about as inane as saying "E + MC^2 so let's just build fusion and be done with it."

The way Cloudflare execute worker codes makes it very efficient to do things on the edge.

For example, with almost zero cost, you can have your cheap $2-$5 server hosting your web app serve tens of thousands of users concurrently by using worker cache api.

On top of that you can serve static files at ultra low response time and reduce queries to server by using a cdn like bunny.net.

What's amazing is, these technologies are virtually free for everyone unless your app has huge traffic and even then it's is very much affordable.
You can use multi-stage builds [1] so your result image would be as small as possible by just copying the compiled JS from the build stage.

For all the talk I've heard over the years about their in house Linux distro. Their desktop application support, and sometimes web application support, for Linux is non existent.

Most of their server estate will be Linux based, including what's powering their desktop applications. But almost none of their efforts give back and enrich the desktop ecosystem. That said they do contribute a lot towards frameworks, libraries and the kernel. Certainly they are among the top alongside Microsoft in recent years and Facebook. So I do recognize my entitled call for more... with good cause
Meh. Scalp advancement works pretty well. That is removing a strip of skin on the forehead and then pulling the rest down. It's adding a massive amount of tension in a very short period of time. If this resulted in more hair loss, nobody would be doing this procedure.

More evidence in favor of androgens being the cause is the ridiculous recovery that some transgender women experience in hair regrowth after starting HRT. Sometimes it's slick bald to nearly a full head of hair. There was also a guy who isn't trans on some hair loss forum who decided to take the strongest antiandrogens he could order plus some estrogen and had incredible regrowth.

Utimately it's probably multifactorial. Minoxidil helps, and that seems to be more about blood flow than androgens, though it's not totally clear why it works.

To me it is strange that Ukraine made the policy to ban all men from leaving the country. At least the Russians let him escape and he is now free to do whatever he wants, the Ukrainians wouldn't let him leave the country. So given that choice is it strange that many chooses Russia? Why be angry at people who makes the rational choice?
Arranged marriages are barbaric and effectively rape in many cases, though, especially when they are forced based on threats of disownment or worse, which is common depending on the culture. In some places it is a lot more explicitly threatening. I don't really care whether people who are abused and brainwashed into signing on to participate in and perpetrate on the next generation horrific practices claim to be fine with the crap themselves, that's basically the story of every abusive religious practice ever, beat kids into thinking God will hate them unless X and they're going to tell you X is amazing as adults.

No, hydrogen and methane storage do not scale easily. Almost all hydrogen production is done through steam reformation, which emits carbon dioxide. Electrolysis has continued to be difficult to do at scale, due to inefficiency and difficulty in getting reliable electrolysis sytems. Then there's the issue of storing and transporting that hydrogen, which is mostly handwaved by assuming there's a salt cavern handy wherever people need to store hydrogen.

Synthetic methane requires hydrogen as an input, so all of the above applies to it, too. It also requires as source of carbon dioxide. Extracting carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is not viable, which leaves either scavenging CO2 byproducts from industrial processes and biofuels. Both of those are not in sufficient availability to produce synthetic methane at grid scale.

We already have excess renewable generation in several energy markets. And it's been the case for years, but the promised energy storage revolution has not come to pass.
You think my shareholders aren’t market makers that also hold shares of Alphabet, whatever it may be called at that point? That’s the bright future I was envisioning.

If I’m watching YouTube while producing, my shareholders get paid twice. I may even get a “most valuable me” award from them. Nobody else comes close to me at being me.

Shoot, if I worked for YouTube and was watching YouTube, that’s three times.

By the way, America needs to understand that there is a huge risk of my me being superseded by some foreign me, which is bad for America. So if Congress could find it in their hearts to think of the country and throw a little IRS scratch my way… I’ll double down on me, maybe even clone another me in America rather than overseas. Definitely not for dividends. I promise. Pinky swear. (Nancy pick up the phone.)

The majority of the man-made CO2 in the atmosphere today comes from power generation IIRC. A lot also comes from transportation, but less than power generation.

If what you say took place, along with the solar and wind power advances that happened, we'd at least be looking at a lot longer warming runway than we are today.
This kind of tool needs context awareness to be useful.

After the first 30~40 times you’re asked if you want to delete these pods, solving the question coming next becomes automatic. If you’re in a “I’m on my dev env, nothing bad can happen” mindset, that prompt won’t get you out of it, it will just be a tedious step, we’ve seen that time and time again.

It becomes a lot more interesting if it can ask “you’re going to delete from the cluster prod, do you really want to ?” and only do so for production.

Same for “rm -f” really, if it can confirm before you’re deleting a tree of thousands of file, and not when it’s 3 empty directories you created 3 min ago.
Another reason to move to GenIV reactors, because once you don't need cooling towers. So if you design it right, most people will not even get that it will be a nuclear plant.

I liked the article as a historical survey but didn’t gain any new insights from it.

There are several reasons we punish in the modern day; retribution is just one of them:

1. Retribution, to give the victims a sense of justice and avoid potential collateral damage from vengeance and feuds.

2. Compensation, to help make the victim whole, to whatever extent possible. This is related to but subtly different than (1).

3. Segregation, to prevent the perpetrator from victimizing others.

4. Deterrence, to dissuade would-be perpetrators.

5. Rehabilitation, to try to reduce or eliminate the factors that caused the perpetrator to commit the crime.

Different people have different opinions on the morality, efficacy and value of the various reasons. Haidt et al have postulated that different worldviews are associated with different factors in people’s moral calculus, so I would not be surprised if, on average, conservatives favor a more retributive punishment system and, on average, liberals favor a more rehabilitative one. But since we all have to live with the same system, we compromise. I don’t think that there is one true approach that is the pinnacle of morality.

[ed] fixed formatting of list
Maybe since I consider myself more of a software engineer than a developer, I have a different viewpoint, but to me, as a SE, my job is not just to deliver the end product, but actually to produce the version of the end product that is also of as good quality as it can be within the budget and constraints of the business, as well as guarantee enough architectural runway to meet the business future goals and needs without increasing the future cost or lowering the delivery velocity over time. Often, I even contribute to what the end product should be, by consulting and informing on what can or cannot be achieved with technologies, or how by changing certain aspect of the product we can enable a lot more functionality in other ways.

That means, throwing a scaffolded template and a prefab framework might be good for an initial proof of concept and v0 testing the market launch, but with Clojure you can often deliver POCs and v0s just as fast, but then have the flexibility to grow it as it needs too, where frameworks often become big drag on what you can do and how quickly you can do so as you need to grow the product.

Basically, the inner working matters to the end product, especially when products don't have an end, but are really a lifetime of support and continued changes in feature-set and compatibility/scale.

Show HN: BDC – Ergonomic, sub 1KiB virtual DOM library
BDC is a simple library for updating the DOM to match a javascript description.
Does not require JSX or a compilation step.

clobber(
document.body,
h("marquee", [
h("span", {"style": "font-weight: bold"}, "Hello"), ", ",
h("blink", "world"), "!",
]),

Very fast to first render, moderately slow on subsequent updates.

Word and Windows used to be controversial names. Remember that they were created when there was still an ecosystem of word processors and windowing environments.

So there are 10 windowing environments, and MS has the arrogance to take the generic word windows for theirs, implying there is only 1 real choice. Same with word.

Then they asked to de-generify these terms, as they had troubles using them as trademarks.
What?

Reread my comment.

'Not a concern' is certainly what I would consider high kick marching competitions between guardstations
I have to say, and pardon me for saying so, but Carbon seems to be utterly uninteresting to me. They are not solving any interesting problems that shows me that they are creating a modern language.

As an example, look at this issue from the mold linker: https://github.com/rui314/mold/issues/584

They are looking at creating an embeddable custom dynamic linker in order to greatly reduce loading times, by fixing locations as the file gets loaded in.

The equivalent in Carbon would (for example) be to create a new type of exception handling that changes how we think about exceptions, performance and their cost. Perhaps something like the static exceptions that Herb Sutter has been working on. Instead, they are not adding exceptions at all.

You will have to excuse my disappointment.
Science keeps advancing. We used to think that the Sun went around Earth, and it was a God (Ra, Helios). Then Science came and put the Sun in its current place. We used to think that illness was produced by demons. And then we discovered the microscope, germs and vaccines.

Science keeps taking over more and more of what used to be “attributed to the gods”. Religion keeps losing ground. It’s only natural that religious people feel the need to attack (with logic platitudes- science has never claimed to be able to explain everything)

There will always be people who say that the gods talk to them. It’s a trick as old as the world. A way to gain power, notoriety, or a sense of importance.

The way I see it, when someone makes a discovery in a laboratory (a real discovery, the kind that takes years to produce) then that’s a real manifestation of the Universe understanding itself.
This does likely include roof mounted residential solar.

>Most solar in a solar-powered world will be on the ground.

It is probably more accurate to say that most solar in a solar-powered world should be on the ground. The reality is that roof-top solar is the most expensive form of power in the world and yet it continues to be heavily subsidized. These subsidies are in the form of direct tax breaks and usually higher electricity prices paid by those who can't install it. A dollar wasted on roof-top solar would be MUCH better spent on solar panels installed on the ground by the utility.
If your peers in online classes are cheating and you’re not, you’re at a material disadvantage when it comes to grading. Unless the teacher decides to start reporting your peers for academic integrity violations [1].

Same goes for academia I suppose. When incentives for academia are aligned towards publishing, and if there is minimal or no enforcement of cheating at an organizational level, you’re at a disadvantage if you don’t cheat.

I don’t think Chinese academic institutions have robust academic integrity and enforcement policies and unless that changes, you’re likely to see Chinese academics stuck in a Nash Equilibrium.

The U.S. government actually provides a lot of really awesome free security resources and I believe they implement a lot of security measures. One of my favorite security resource provided by the govt. is STIG[1]. If you take your time to implement the measures outlined in STIG in your network it would be EXTREMELY difficult (in my opinion) to break into your network/devices without a zero-day or other undiscovered exploit.

I have not worked for the govt, so I do not have a first-party understanding. And I doubt any entity is impervious to simple/well-known attack vectors (such as EternalBlue) but my experience with STIG as a security engineer has always left me really impressed with the level of research and suggestions the government provides to the public -- for free.

Its a fundamental issue with JS and DOM. Its understandable that there needs to be a need to manipulate elements on the webpage, but the issue is that with JS, you can basically create the webpage programmatically from the ground up, but you are doing it through essentially concatenating text into html/css.

Even worse, JS can actually modify itself. You can take defined functions that have definite common behavior. and overwrite them to arbitrary ones.

The equivalent to a low level language like C would be writing your code with half C, half custom macros that are #defined at random places in the code libraries that you pulled in that change core C instructions, and instead of regular C code you are concatenating strings with assembly instructions that would then be put into a file and ran.

No other language that I know of allows for this.

This is the one thing I found that prevented me from getting far with Clojure. I love the language and the concepts...but there's no stable well-documented go to tool that I can use to hit the ground running. Instead, I spent so much time looking at blog posts and random videos trying to cobble together some sort of system of various libraries to form the basic functionality of a web framework just to get to a point where I could actually start working on the meat of the application. Luminus is extremely helpful but I'd also end up having to learn about the individual pieces and found it hard to add libraries after I started my project.

The pervasive "compostable library" mindset also completely ignores the other benefits of having a standardized framework such as Rails that people can rally around:
1. Standardized documentation
2. Being able to create community that can provide support when you're having issues
3. Easily google-able solutions to common issues
4. A standard that can be iterated upon. I feel like Clojure libraries do this somewhat already so they can work with each other so what's the harm on standardizing these interfaces?
