I'm sorry to read this, I also have a similar same situation with my father.

He's in his late 70's and a year ago bought himself an iPhone. He now spends ~4 hours a day reading a tabloid newspaper app, which has endless content. His attention span has fallen noticeably and he can't keep up with conversations that happen in the same room while he's "scrolling".

When I visit he's on his phone, and we go out for a walk (in the beautiful countryside around us) he stops and disengages when his app sends him the latest notification about what's happened on "love island", or some other nonsense. When I leave he's on his phone.

I tried to talk to him about it, and about how it's particularly effecting my mother, who I can see is lonely and lost a person she could talk to, important at their time of life. He just gets defensive and angry, which leads no-where.

Will he spend the most of the rest of his life looking at a screen?

Edit: wording of final sentence.
This is great overview. Maybe the problem is that there is so much stuff to rewrite in the law, that nobody wants to start working on this because it would be too much work? Or is it lobbying?

Rheumatologists in particular care deeply about inflammation markers in both blood and imaging. Unfortunately the presence of inflammation doesn’t always pinpoint which rheumatic condition (if any) you have. But gastroenterologists and even ophthalmologists use these markers in making diagnoses.

many recipes still basically wrap a shell script

Not defending Nix here, but using shell script as part of the build doesn't make Nix itself imperative/impure. As long as the evaluation of the Nix expression itself is pure [1], the build inputs are fully specified, and the build is performed in a sandbox, the shell script (and things like configure/cmake/make/ninja) should always be run in the same manner and result in the same output (modulo things like embedded time stamps in files).

[1] This hasn't traditionally been true, since you could e.g. read files or use environment variables from Nix, but this is something flakes address.

> The appeal of parking lots and rooftops, by contrast, is that they are abundant, close to customers, largely untapped for solar power generation, and on land that’s already been stripped of much of its biological value.

Also, the panels mitigate the parking lots from becoming heat storage batteries (so to speak).

There's a reason summer temps fall further at night in rurals areas (e.g., Vermont) than they do in urban / suburban areas (e.g., New Jersey). Trees and such don't hold heat the way pavement does.

Now obviously simply adding solar panels to parking lots in NJ isn't going to have a massive impact, but it's not going to hurt either.
Agree with this.

I’d rather actually we used postfix notation as that not ambiguous at all. I would like a modern “dc” written in Go if I’m honest. With engineering units, BCD decimal arithmetic, blackjack and hookers.

Actually if there was a postfix notation spreadsheet with that capability it would be an interesting tool.

I see the book's publication is from 1958 and much of the imagery suggests a bygone era. Are all or most of these still in use today?

It's amusing to note that the first picture has in the middle of the last row, the now ubiquitous "Heavy Metal horns." I remember reading an old interview with Ronnie James Dio, who was Italian, where he said he picked up the gesture from his Grandmother. It's widely accepted that he is responsible for introducing this gesture into modern popular culture, non-Italian anyways. Some have pinpointed he started using this on stage in late 70's during his time in Black Sabbath.
I’ve always thought https://enso.org/ looked cool. It’s a functional language that has both a text representation and a visual representation as a graph that you can edit directly. I still haven’t played with it much though
Most of my LED failures (moderately early adopter) have been power supply failures.

Some bulbs (estimated 20%, mostly higher output ones) have lost SMD LEDs, in some cases having reductions in brightness as a portion of the bulb is then INOP.

I’ve stopped taking them apart and looking into the failures once they got to be cheap enough to not care.
Ever since I started learning Borland Delphi as an early teenager I’ve had this idea of an IDE where every function lives as its own entity (maybe like a card) and in the editor is connected to all functions that it call and all functions that call it and I suppose the whole editor must be a giant graph/mind map.

It’s not a very well developed idea, dispute it having floated somewhere in my head for over two decades.
It's not just you, the user experience of nix is terrible. It's biggest feature of "pure" builds is mostly unnecessary given the complexity. It's runner up feature of configuring builds with a few scripts can also easily be accomplished by simpler tooling...

I don't get why it's necessary or unfortunately why it is so complicated... Anything that can be done in nix can be done in a tenth the time by any employee in a more commonly used technology. In industry, this is a very bad thing in my opinion
I would be lucky if my Thinkpad X1C6 would get the same battery life in Linux as it did in Windows. It usually does well, if I don't open the web browser.

As such, despite running 5.18, Wayland, Firefox, "latest nonfree version of ffmpeg with actual 264 codecs," etc etc etc, GPU accelerated decoding of videos is still too much to ask for in FF or MPV. VLC sometimes does it. Sometimes - usually after making sure I have a version of ffmpeg that actually supports the codecs I want to decode.

I'm still following an ever deeper series of guides on how to enable ASIC decoding for videos.

This is across a few distros (Pop_OS, Fedora Silverblue [using both the bundled FF and the flatpak variant from flathub - not just the Fedora flatpak], Tumbleweed), and it has long been the same story.

On my desktop, I have simply regressed to letting FF/MPV/VLC take an extra 15W of power to render a video. On my laptop, I still am trying to find a solution, since it can hardly spare that extra power consumption.
That would create an even more unstable situation. The training on the civilian side in case of Vmc roll is to close both throttles and rapidly decrease pitch attitude to regain control and airspeed. If you’re lucky to be high enough you can then use power to fly out of it. Otherwise it’s at least an upright / forward crash landing so that’s more survivable. But we don’t have ejector seats :-)
I’m sorry what? Did you actually study harmony at college level? I can assure you the textbooks are more than adequate to analyse late romantic and all 20C music. My functional harmony teacher used to use “Structural functions of harmony” by Schonberg. Can easily handle everything up to the second viennese school and then we used to use “A New Music” by Reginald Smith-Brindle after that
> The idea rapidly turned from popular to unpopular, though was implemented anyway.

Do they have good public transport?
Theres is more demand. Thus, stores looking for customers sell more of those products. Thus, there are more plant based products. (1) they may or may not have removed other meat/dairy products, but they may have removed other products, because meat and dairy are still excellent sellers and (2) that wasn't your point, you were saying they are hard to identify and heavily implied that it's maliciously done.

The demand side isn't being attacked anymore than in any other industry. "Buy our product because it doesn't include chemical X" is the same thing as plant-based meats saying meat is bad for you. Also, "Studies" aren't even in the top 5 reasons why people at scale make life-changing decisions... there are studies that say almost anything about diet, people are influenced by media. In the media, I've seen more ads and articles about how soy is bad, milk is good, meat is good. Why do you not have any issue with that, but you do have issues with studies being published that say the opposite?

The supply side doesn't need to be demonized, because it did a great job itself. All of those industries have made insane amounts of money through lobbying for deregulation in their respective countries and then lowering costs while increasing profits by using that de-regulated environment. That deregulated environment just needs to be filmed in its reality to be "demonic".

If that didn't exist, again, there would be no need for the veganism movement and you'd likely never hear about "plant based", since most people follow plant based diets because the supply side has made itself terrible.

I used a tool called Immersed[1] for a bit. It is neat and potentially useful, as from what I remember you can create more virtual monitors than you have actual monitors, but the novelty wore off and I stopped, since I wasn't particularly more productive.

> I haven’t owned an LED bulb long enough to see this myself, so take it with a grain of salt.

I’ve had lots of different kinds of LED lighting, including LED bulbs and this is honestly the only reason I’ve had to replace them.

The electronics powering the LED overheat and over time starts to fail.

Some brands are worse than others, particularly cheap Chinese ones. They will break faster than you can replace them. Avoid at all cost.

Other mid-range bulbs are better (like IKEA Trådfri) but still without what I’d call industrial reliability. Philips Hue are more reliable, but again at a higher price.

In short, you get what you pay for. That said you can still have bad luck. For instance in my house we have semi-expensive Junostar LEDs (from the pro-market) for ceiling lights, but we received a bad batch with lot of flickering and had to have them all replaced. It was on warranty though ;)
Did they give it back to you? How do you get information about a lawyer without computer or mobile phone???
Not just the area of impact but also the attitude then being an upright “normal” landing attitude as opposed to flying it into the ground upside down. So even for an ejection it would be better to close both throttles to keep the aircraft under control and the seat traveling upwards to give you the best chances.
I've been building a strongly typed language and structural editor. The idea is to develop both to get the quickest editing experience. Having a really small language has made it easier for the editor to have a small set of commands for updating the program.

I don't understand what part of the sentence you've quoted makes you think that TSMC hasn't put a lot of thought into their price points already.

Regardless of how true quoted sentence is, it's also obviously true that if they changed prices to $1billon for every single chip sold then they would sell close to zero chips (ignoring that such a crazy move would probably see an attempt to replace leadership, or a takeover attempt, or whatever). And equally, if they lowered their prices to give each sale only 1% of their current profit margins, they would sell more chips.

Every time they set a price, they'll be thinking about where the line is to get that balance right. And they already know they're the industry leader, and of course they know it in a lot more detail than that simple statement, so they're taking that into account (along with things like demand, how close the competitor products are, etc.)

Of course that's not to say that they've necessarily made the ideal choice every time, and maybe if they raised prices they would make more money overall. But how does the fact that them literally disappearing would set back the industry make this more or less likely to be the case?

It's not particularly practical for this at the current oculus display resolution. Sure, there are tools discussed in the thread here with virtual monitors etc, but we'll have to wait for a future generation of hardware for those virtual monitors to have anywhere near the resolution of an actual monitor.
Accent coaches are great. I worked with one in the context of learning an Irish accent for theater in college.

You learn IPA as a tool for discussing sentences and get someone whose mouth you can watch closely without freaking them out and who will watch and understand your mouth position well and provide immediate feedback.

For some language transitions though you have to start out retraining your brain to hear sound distinctions before you can hope to produce them. The L-R distinction in English, for example, is particularly hard for Japanese speakers because they can't hear that there are two sounds.

It can also be very helpful to enlist a native speaker with the target accent who is a coworker. Basically give them permission to tell you after every conversation what you said that wasn't in the target accent.

Certainly, yup.

To be sure, NYC is not ready NOW; a Sandy will happen again this decade, where the city will be disabled for a few days and the current gaps on the longer term resilience plan will be exposed.

When that happens my read of the dynamics is that the capital commitments- which have already been made- will be accelerated and there will be new focus on delivering on the projects, many of which will then get completed in the 2030-2040 timeframe.

Politics and economics of NYC are completely different than of New Orleans.

Katrina was a disaster both because of what happened to infrastructure and what happened to people. Infra-wise, New Orleans as a political unit does not command its infrastructure- being dependent on the Corps and other federal entities- and otherwise from a capital perspective is extremely weak. People-wise, the immediately exposed populations were also those without their own means.

NYC's Katrina moment was in the 1970s, specifically Oct 29 1975. The near default and Ford's abandonment is still crystalline in the minds of capital, even 50 years later. Since then to a first approximation NYC from a political, economic and infrastructure perspective has risen, and moved from strength to strength.

NYC does not have the same kind of vulnerable exposed population- nearly all of the vulnerable housing stock is in fact high end, and/or controlled by interests, not individuals (with exceptions of course scattered throughout). COVID was far more of a Katrina than Sandy was in terms of impact on vulnerable populations in NYC.

From economic and infra perspective, NYC has an operating budget of 100B/year. NYS is 200B. Capital projects up to the single digit B are just budget lines at this scale. NYC/NYS also have these unique entities called Authorities that have a long history of raising capital and operating larger scale projects like bridges and tunnels.

The larger economic weight of spend of resident industries, from finance, to media, to real estate, to tech, to healthcare...on and on- reaches into the Ts (literally). Note all industries are represented (even agri/food) EXCEPT for energy.

Politically, there is very little on the climate denier front and almost none on the Trump chaos actor front. The boroughs- while there are tensions and significant red/blue political differences between them- are far more unified as a pragmatic matter on environment issues.

Significant and surprising changes are happening now around things like energy footprint- the banning of gas appliances in new construction is incredible.

Anyway, NYC is certainly exposed as are most of the coastlines of the country. But when one looks at major coast cities and their resiliency planning, NYC is structurally in a much better place.
Planned Obsolescence : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planned_obsolescence
There's no doubt that the US criminal justice system is profoundly dysfunctional, starting with the fact that most of the accused are successfully extorted by prosecutors into accepting plea bargains.

But simply on the topic of paying prisoners the market rate for labor, the idea does seem unjust to me.

Let's say we have two people, Jack and Jill, who both work a low paying job and are miserable. One day Jill decides to rob a store, but is caught and goes to prison for a few years. In prison she is first working some menial job, but a government program trains her in some skilled labor (we might imagine she is learning to code). After completing her sentence she is released and has the entire amount that she earned (minus no expenses) and trained a valuable job skill that will enable her to get a better paying job.

Meanwhile Jack, who committed no crime, has had to pay for his expenses (which eat up the majority of his pay), and received no help or training.

We reward Jill for her criminal behavior by "fixing" her life so she is less likely to commit crimes in the future, but we ignore Jack even though he was equally miserable, but chose not to commit a crime.

It's absolutely safe for bikes to ride on same place as pedestrians: collisions are rare, and when they do happen they're not deadly. Is it annoying? Yeah maybe, but that's not a good enough reason to make them ride on alongside cars, which is actually dangerous.
A yes, for fighter jets on a carrier that’s an issue because they have a high power setting while landing. For civilian aircraft the only high risk during landing is a single engine approach with a go around. You go from idle to full takeoff power, at low altitude and speed, creating serious yaw. It is a standard maneuver in recurrent training, but still in reality it would of course be a lot more stressful.
Make the wires run through newly created speed bumps. It's a parking lot, and limiting speed should secure the panels even more.

I see some younger folks really investing time in it and it worries me. Sometimes smart people fall under this fallacy of "you have to be smart to learn this so it must be good because it's hard" when really it looks more like quicksand than asphalt. Quicksand is hard to get out of, but there's still no reward for falling in.

""This will be especially true if political measures aimed at sufficiently expanding the power grid in Germany... drag on for too long," he said.

Some 6.1 terawatt hours of electricity from renewables had to be curtailed in 2020, according to the most recent figures available.

With an average consumption of around 2,500 kilowatt hours per year in a two-person household, this would have been enough to power around 2.4 million households.

A spokesman for Germany's Federal Network Agency said it did not share the belief that "it will not be possible to expand the network in line with demand in the coming years".

Only some aspects of the expansion are seeing delays, the spokesman said—mainly due to slow approval procedures and a lack of specialist companies to do the work. "

Ask HN: Any technical reasons Google Docs can't do voice typing in Firefox?
Google Docs enables voice typing when opened in Chrome. But not in Firefox.

Does somebody here know the technical reasons?

I find speech-to-text dictation a productive way to crank out a draft. So far, voice typing is the easiest approach on Linux that I've found. But I'd prefer Firefox. Any other suggestions for easy STT on Linux? Punctuation identification is preferred but optional. It's a Kubuntu system with only CPU, no GPU.
You're not dependent on GitHub. If you ever decide to switch to, say, sourcehut, you can keep the install command and not break anything.

It also looks way nicer, and it's easier to deal with (I'd rather type `import ”robpike.io/ivy”` than a GitHub link), but that's a flaw in the way go does packages imo

> there is a major bandwagoning with zfs

Well, there is a huge number of reasons for that.

Just recently ZFS got RAID-Z expansion capabilities. Before that, I would have had to make plans for a storage server and buy all the storage devices upfront. Now I can expand the storage pool as needed, one device at a time.

The ability to do this is the only reason I even bothered with btrfs. Now that ZFS has flexible storage pool expansion, it is essentially perfect as far as I'm concerned.
Have you tried a different USB-A charger? Some smaller devices have problems with USB-C to USB-C. I don't know why this is the case, though. It's just something I have observed with different devices.
