> I think the authors just need to find an easy way to say something new, and what is more easy than going against something "common"?

I'm sure some of them do, but having seen first hand the damage to productivity and happiness these "common behaviours" can do to people who don't have my personality type, the books deconstructing them and putting them back together for people you start to realise are just another kind of productivity guide but for atypical people.

There are lots of books deconstructing ordinary weight loss advice for people with eating disorders as well, the thing is that once you get cynical enough you start to realise that they really are just the other side of the same coin, the goal is the same "tell people how to get to a healthy weight" just with different perspective.

It took a whole hell of a lot of "deconstructing common behaviours" for people to settle on not beating children in schools, we didn't get rid of the concept of discipline and punishment, we just picked up a new, more universal framework that works better.
Ah self pipe is a good idea, I suspect that's what those async frameworks are doing under the hood.
I had a Garmin GPS watch for running a decade ago. Of course because of the technology at the time, it was a lot larger. Even back then I used it to track my pace when I was running.

Also heart rate based training isn’t a new concept. Neither is running to music. I’m running much shorter distances now - because age. But the only thing that made running half marathons tolerable was music.
As someone who has an extensive background in costumer service (I worked in and managed restaurants before grad school), I think customer-facing jobs often get the worst of things like this. Yes, I believe there is a baseline of professionalism for those positions, but the public is frankly abusive to service workers and I will never blame them for acting indifferent or less than enthusiastic.

To your point of "go work in a warehouse" I mean fair, and that's why restaurants are hemorrhaging staff to the cannabis industry. But it's the customers who need the attitude adjustment. In what world do these people live where it's ok to berate, insult, sometimes assault, and otherwise demean workers? The public are pigs, and by the time you personally receive bad service from a worker they've probably been taking abuse from entitled jerks for the bulk of their shift.
This is exactly the type of hardware where NetBSD shines - it's often best to install it on something from a few years ago where driver support has matured to a fine vintage. Very good OS for preventing old hardware from being binned.
Build them so they can be extended upwards somewhat
No, what I wonder is why you make a lot of statement like "state propaganda" without knowing which state I live in and without quoting any source. Please prove a/ my state (Germany) is doing propaganda and b/ I am only listening to this propaganda.

Also, you're sentences do not make sense. "Why you are doing this" => what is "this", you forgot to define it.

Meanwhile, China is a country where people live in fear of publicly expressing their opinion, this is well documented. 10s on the web finds this:

There were line editing features in micro BASICs though. Some early versions of Microsoft BASIC let you say EDIT 10 and be taken into an edit mode, where vaguely vi-like, but more perhaps TECO-like, keyboard commands let you change the line by inserting, deleting, swapping, etc. characters.

The Commodore BASICs let you just cursor up to the line on the screen and change it, and when you hit enter the interpreter just read the screen at that line and accepted it as the new line. There were smarts in there to detect wrapped lines and accept the whole thing. Despite being more primitive it was a huge UI win, so GW-BASIC adopted this approach as well.
Going to prison is no reward. No sane person would go to prison for the chance to earn minimum wage.

Furthermore, as the article states, prison services are substandard or entirely missing. Either fix that and we can talk deductions above normal taxes or allow the prisoners to earn minimum wage or more and to keep their earnings.
esc esc esc :qa!<cr> (8 strokes)

This is the shortest I can think of right now, 3 esc to exit Ctrl-v, Ctrl-r and insert mode, then :qa! to quit even if there are splits or modified background buffers.

If ^C is considered one keystroke I'd replace all esc by ^C to prevent vim from hanging forever in the following starting situation: 999999999asometext^R^V<exit sequence>

With esc it would try to insert a lot of text after the last esc, which will make vim unresponsive for days at least.

Not sure if you want to count this one:
alt+sysrq+k (1 stroke or 3 strokes depending on how you count)
>Firefox doesn’t even seem to have a FreeBSD version or instructions.

Erm, what? It's not Windows, that's what packages are for. Just "pkg install firefox".
Are the `-option` thing in Go CLI apps and method capitalization (`myobject.GetStuff()`) other examples of these idiosyncraticies?
The individual local business entities have their own mandatory data publication requirements. At least in EU, it's usual for companies to have to share some economical data publicly (usually there's a minimum on revenue but Uber certainly is over).
Undecided; see https://github.com/nickel-lang/nickel-nix for a proof-of-concept of an integration that requires making no changes to either Nickel or Nix.
They have stopped developing it long time ago. Current alternative is SpaceSniffer http://www.uderzo.it/main_products/space_sniffer/
Where I live I'm a member of a coop named "Enercoop Midi Pyrénées" that uses the coop capital to build PV arrays, in the past few years 10 250kW arrays have been built locally and a multi MW one is in the pipes.

Here the one 2km from my home:

The lack of capitalization made me sprint through the text. I wonder if anyone else had this experience. I had to come up for air towards the end. Even after I realized I was doing it I couldn't slow down.
The economic damage a war would cause is immense. TSMC however would contribute surprisingly little to the economic damage.

TSMC has a big volume and an edge in node process. However, the vast majority of chips in use are in embedded usecases. Most non-general-computing hardware containing chips doesn't need 4nm. It would chug just fine with two decade old chips. Even military hardware uses very outdated chips.

Catching up to a modern semi fab would cost time and money, but making more outdated chips isn't that much of a problem. There's a certification issue, but in such a scenario surely certification would be relaxed.

As for general purpose computing, servers always have the option of scaling horizontally. The biggest issue would be with phones and tablets. Unfortunate, but tiny compared to the other costs of war.
> And what makes you think Amazon doesn't do that yet?

Because I still see a lot of human beings employed picking things in Amazon warehouses.
Consider GNU/Linux phones, Librem 5 or Pinephone, which are designed to be repairable and have lifetime software updates. The batteries are replaceable and should be available for a long time, too.
I requested a cab through the local cab app here and four turned up.

I mean, I guess it worked for me.
Other than Apple's old magsafe connectors, I remember every power connector I've ever had on a laptop to have been pretty easily breakable using angular force, and I know of both myself and a handful of other people who have broken the power connector on our laptops, and yet I haven't seen or experienced such with my USB-C laptops yet (quite possibly as they are lighter weight), so I am surprised you say the USB-C is more easily broken. I do miss magsafe, though: that's the one non-USB-C power connector I think would be worth supporting. (That said I have some memory of magsafe connectors destroying themselves due to the slapping of metal at power, though I never hadn't one die myself.)
This makes me think about what are the principled requirements for artificial intelligence. It might be designed, it must have sensors and actuators, and it must have “goals” in some manner.

But, does AI require digital computers? Can you have AI with analog computers? Or, are even computers required? Perhaps AI only requires the (artificial) design of intelligent processes in the world.

For instance, the autopilot (known as “the Pilot’s Assistant) was invented in 1912, long before digital computers. If that’s an example of AI, then there is a need for conceptual reformulation…
You can fix that by adding '?submodules=1' to the URL. It does get rather annoying when compiling local code, as that turns a simple 'nix build' into:

nix build "git+file://$(pwd)?submodules=1"

But it will work with submodules.

Another mild annoyance related to this is that Flake inputs can't be expressions, this can make it a rather difficult to fetch dependencies that aren't packaged in a way understood by the existing fetch methods.
It's "big in Japan". Used on many ISP routers there, for example Internet Initiative Japan's "SEIL" family, as well as most workstations in a few Japanese universities.

pkgsrc enjoys mild popularity in the scientific computing community, a lot of NetBSD use is probably in education - Cambridge University uses it for their thin clients too.
It doesn't matter what other things your charging cable can do if the cable itself is worse at doing its primary job.

Reduced water loss is one of the chief selling points for "agrivoltaics".

The cheapest setup, in most fields, is to make fence-rows of bifacial panels, running north-south to pick up morning and afternoon sun, and particularly to block late afternoon sun that stresses plants most.

But some crops (and livestock) benefit from protection against hail and storm rain. Then, again put up fence rows, but with the panels sticking out from both sides. Running them east-west, it is easy to tilt them to pick up the southern light better. (Northern, for you kiwis.)
This may be true, but in the same way that paintings don't have to be "beautiful" to be good paintings, games don't always have to be fun experiences to be good games. I think Papers Please is a perfect example of such a game. I didn't enjoy it so much as that it engaged me in its bleak bureaucracy.

Here we go with that bullshit again.

Do you have a link of an example of what you say ? Were the people in those linked example not banned at the time? On average, how many people calling your precious "trans people" pedophiles and groomers are banned vs. how many of the trans people themselves get banned when they say things equivalent or far worse ?

It's mindblowing to me how the most coddled and put-on-a-pedestal group in public discourse is complaining about censorship and unfair treatment. They literally ban people for not using pronouns. It's honestly laughable.
Fully agreed. I stopped considering this practical in any way when I read

> 3*4+5 is 27

I'm sorry but if your calculator does not follow standard mathematical rules for operator precedence then I'm out. But the space issue takes it to another level.

I also get it, it derives from APL which is right to left and all operators have same precedence but it's just so far from practically usable for normal people... there's a reason noone uses APL today. And sure it's just a plaything but seems weird to even create apps for iPhone, iPad and Android and a logo for it.
HAHAHA oh god nostalgia. Also reminds me of mybb which is more themable. Remember the days you can become a forum owner simply with a domain name and free hosting with cpanel.
This is just getting sad now.
12.5 sounds to me more like measurement error than natural variation. Did you measure the eye distance between the centres of your pupils?
They don't give any respite from the noise. At most they give you a bit of privacy from people staring at your screen. And most mini-cubicles these days don't even help with keeping someone from staring at your screen from behind. It's downright creepy. I very much agree with the wire-cages for monkeys at a zoo comment.
I recently bought a Fenix and was disappointing the battery was not standard. In hindsight, I should have returned the model not to encourage these companies for these practices.
One thing I really like about kdb+/q is the fact that it has strict right-to-left execution/precedence. While I know it's a standard, I don't want to deal with bodmas, or whatever it is. Having right to left makes it clear and unambiguous how it will execute. Saying that, it does also encourage huge one line abominations. Everything in moderation i guess...
Fun fact: a standard parking spot of 2.5x5 meter covered with regular PV panels will produce in a year (in my country) about 2.5 MWh which is enough to power an EV for 16000 km.

Of course less than needed in winter and more in summer.

Edit: fixed computations
2x2.5x1000 hours of sun of 20% efficient = 2.5 MWh
then 2.5 MWh / 150 Wh/km = 16666 km.

> That’s their goddamn right

Counterpoint: No it's fucking not.

(It's not much of an argument in either case is it?)

It's actually from APL.
The US heavily sanctioning China would basically be the end of America's economy, it isn't a realistic option. There also won't be enough public support for it as long as conflict is contained to the APAC region.

Furthermore, it probably also means the disintegration of US global sanctioning power. Europe would rather trade with China than the USA, assuming it's mutually exclusive.
My experience with GraphQL has been with Absinthe in Elixir and it has been great. Custom REST endpoints can spiral into an inflexible mess with way too specialized DB queries built for each endpoint, while with GQL you can stitch different resources together on the frontend easily in one go. Of course, if you’re not careful you may get into N+1 issues, but there are solutions such as Dataloaders. Avoiding malicious queries sounds like a potential issue but as some comments have also pointed out, there are mitigations similar to e.g. rate limiting you also have to do on REST endpoints anyways.
Tutors / tips to change your English accent
Let's start with that my accent is clear enough and I don't have communication issues at work. I actually feel quite comfortable.

But I'd love to have a perfect west coast American accent when I speak english. Having learned a few other languages myself, it feels pretty good when you can surprise a native.

Anybody that went through that process of improving their accent with a tutor or on their own could share their learnings on it?
Same with the M2 Air. Physical indicator in the notch.
Oh its my time to shine.

I lose my shit on these people if it becomes a too common of occurence. I straight up tell them to google xyz, try xyz. No spoonfeeding. It creates some drama sometimes but hey it moves things forward and really teaches them to fish on their own.
Strangely, power system engineers are not complaining about destabilized grids. Solar can be turned off instantly if it were ever a problem. In the future all the grids will also have plentiful storage, and be overwhelmingly more stable than today.
The title is inaccurate. The linked webpage says “Don't close your MacBook, MacBook Air, or MacBook Pro with a cover over the camera”. You can use the cover all you want, just don’t close the screen with the cover.

This is just common sense. Don’t close a screen and wedge something in there that occupies the millimeters of space between glass and metal. If you do so, you’re taking a risk, which maybe you’re ok with if your cover is thin, like a PostIt note.

If that were the end-goal, what's the point of operating their current business at all? Seems like a waste and entirely pointless.

And why wouldn't some other company without all the current baggage needed for operating a taxi service with human drivers be able to steal Uber's business?

.5 inches and heavier for AirPods would make a huge difference ergonomically.
Yeah I second this. Also to try one would need to login, which I think would make a lot of people leave before knowing what the product is about
Completely agree.

We deal with very complex abstractions everyday and being able to explain them in simple terms is golden. Very rare among us tech workers.
Saying AI requires a digital computer is like saying biological intelligence requires a brain. If intelligence is substrate independent then it can run on anything.
I’ve noticed this myself but didn’t dig into the delays I’ve seen. Interesting to learn it appears for others.

My assumption is that it could be multifactorial, societal and family integration along with diet and who knows what else. Life is stupidly complex

Same symptoms as you and was also on the Nokia website a few days back looking at dumb phones. Others also mentioned the Apple watch also was a good alternative.

> The stupid thing is for all my reading, I don't feel any wiser or even knowledgeable. At the same time I think I'm less able to engage in normal conversation.

100% if I spent all the time I spend online reading actual books, I'd be much better off.
> Also, you’ve got to shut down your parking lot for a few weeks to do the work.

Would you have to shut down the whole parking lot for roof work?

It's anecdotal, but most parking lots I've seen around LA seemed to have an open top floor which was mostly empty since people presumably prefer their cars to be shaded. I know I specifically didn't want to leave my motorbike on the top floor for this specific reason.

So adding solar panels, which would add shape, would basically increase the parking lot floor.
Ask HN: Why don't we pay stackoverflow or medium?
Hey. this is a question for sake of my own curiosity and discussion.

IMO, The current internet model is based on advertisement and tracking which is bringing lots of corner cases for our society model.
I am working for a company which does provide services online but refuses to enter this system. The only source of income is premium subscription for the service.

As consequence, the company struggles to make money in the west.

Of course this might be related to a million of reasons, but I started wondering what would happen if we needed to pay for online services.

my questions for you:
- do you pay for Netflix, prime ou disney+?
- do you pay youtube premium?
- would you pay to use stackoverflow?
- why wouldn't you pay to Medium?

I think we are used to have content for free, but increasing costs in content production and maintance are stressing the limits of what can be earned through publicity.

Unfortunately, it is also really easy for content to stolen or shove into another site. eg udemy courses which are basically videos from other people.
This means that many authors cannot rely to receive a fair amount for their work.

Thank you for those who shared their thoughts in advance.
I like the idea, but I certainly hope it would be nothing like a real city which corresponds more closely to the worst kind of spaghetti code out there, with tight dependencies between otherwise unrelated communities, too many ways to achieve the same task to list, and so on.

Cities work because they're organic and adaptable. You couldn't plan a city, much less understand all of it.
