This is probably the worst take I’ve seen. Some people don’t want to watch pets die in a film they watch for their personal recreation. That should be a prerequisite for them if they choose and have facilities to make it so. It should not be the case that people could know that they’ll be upset by watching pets die, and want to know, and that knowledge is denied to them on principle.

I’d even go so far as to say that’s so absurd anyone defending it is doing so to provoke.
A lot of what this article talks about rings true in a presentation I watched recently by the team at Weta Digital which did the VFX for The Batman

They talked about, among other things, how they had to:

- digitally replace the stunt man's face in many of the action shots because his jawline was too dissimilar to Robert Pattinson's.

- digitally modify a hand because a prop gun misfired in a shot

- enhance the fight scenes to look more visceral and violent

- add rain and rain spatter to the car chase (the parts that weren't already fully digital)

I'm no filmmaker but I felt many of those things could have been done without VFX. Hire a stunt man that looks more like RP, reshoot the scene with the broken prop, forget about rain and/or tone down the epic action set piece, etc.

Instead it seemed like it all just came to rest on the shoulders of the VFX artists.
fully agree with you. the downvotes must be by Python fanboys seething in their indented whitespaces.
> Who can look me in the eye with a straight face and say bitcoin protects against volatility? That bitcoin "protects exactly" against mismanaged economy and corrupt government?

You are conflating volatility and corruption

Bitcoin won't protect you against the former (and neither did the lebanese pound), but it does offer protection against the latter.
> Prof. Lee Ju-hyuck's research team in joint research with Dr. Cho Han-cheol's team at the Korea Institute of Industrial Technology developed the world's first eco-friendly power generation device that removes fine particles in the water.

If I read this text correctly it doesn't cost extra energy but filters as a byproduct of energy generation, and other wording implies it avoids issues of microclogging and requiring replacement (otherwise that wouldn't have been mentioned as a downside of filters). I suppose that does make it a lot eco-friendlier than alternatives.

The part where it only removes 24% of all microparticles means it's not going to be a complete solution however. OTOH that's 24% fewer particles to clog up later filters
If we face an anoxic ocean event, this simply isn't true. Such an event could leads to the upwelling and release of huge quantities of hydrogen sulfide. Diffused throughout the Earth's atmosphere this would kill nearly all life, and remain present in lethal concentrations for hundreds of thousands to millions of years judging by the fossil record from the Permian-Triassic extinction. That's a long time to rely on artificial life support systems.

Doesn't help every flavour of Linux might have a different way of doing things.

I've written 2 books, so I suppose I'll answer the reverse question - how come nothing stopped me?

The first one was an accident of sorts. I went to a lot of conferences in the late 90's, early 2000's around the world to hawk our wares, and wanted a way to supplement the returns, so I'd visit user groups and do some training with them.

I started with simple notes, which gradually grew up to about 120 pages, which accompanied a full day course. After one event in 2002 I was pestered to sell extra copies of the notes, by folk who weren't there.

Initially I resisted, they weren't written with that in mind, but capitulated, edited, added a bunch of things, and sold them for $50 plus postage - I cleared about $25 per copy and sold in total about 1000 copies.

The second one was more deliberate, although again borne out of a 2 day training class. That costs $200,is PDF only, and I've sold maybe 300 or so. I update that one and am currently working on the 4th edition. (in 13 years)

It's not terribly profitable. The time it takes to write is insane. Unlike casual speaking or blogging every tiny detail has to be checked. It has to have a coherent voice. It ultimately needs to teach difficult concepts and make them easy.

To describe the topic as niche is an understatement. It's a pimple on niche. If it was 100 times bigger it'd still be a small niche. So upside, no competition. Downside, tiny market. Its not really profitable, but it is a nice side project.

So maybe the right answer to your question, for most people, is that they haven't accidentally tripped into it (yet).
Having industry doesn't necessarily mean destroying the environment. Regulations regarding emissions exist for a reason. But as long as industrialists are allowed to externalize the costs for "doing business" in a scheme to socialize the negative effects and privatize earnings we are in a bad position.

Clean up the mess you produce should be a basic and decent course of action. Not only for us humans but for every human endeavor.

Is there any word when programmers engage in some other activity and then realize and rationalize that the said activity has a lot common with programming.
I don't think most people realise:

- how much you gain writing a book about a technical viewpoint you have (from researching all of your "instincts" and figuring out a way to explain them to beginners)

- you don't have to start with a book - just write blog articles about sub-problems in the space

- a book can literally just be a collection of blog articles (see Freakonomics: https://freakonomics.com/blog/)

- it's not about the money - unless you've spent the last decade being well known in your field, most folks will likely not hear about your book. Doesn't mean it isn't a worthwhile endeavour.

I always say 2005-2009 was when everything but tech got really miserable.

demographics. The boomer years was that sweet moment where social democracy dependent on intergenerational debt became possible, but only assuming endless growth of population and economy. Then the neoliberal years came and prices of everything went up, so everything is unreachable for younger generations. They tried to replace the missing population with immigrants but that channel also got saturated. Younger people are just not feeling that level of support that previous generations did

You're using a linear model for exponential processes.
I get that there is some suffering involved, and some broken egos. But people are having jobs and getting paid, aren't they? That's important; specially for artists and technical artists who don't have many well-paying opportunities otherwise.

What worries me is that I watch these productions because they are the lowest common denominator, the kind of thing attractive to my friends and partners who didn't finish high school.

These movies, to justify their budgets and make the money back, have to be appealing to the widest possible audience. Therefore, they can not afford to hurt any sensibilities, and their plots need to happen in worlds as disconnected as possible from our reality. They can't be neither "political" nor "well-educated" in any obvious way. So when anybody watches a Marvel movie, they are maximizing their social futility, the amount of brain-bleaching they get. Worse, they are not using their time to assess/judge the work of a smaller studio who wants to bring public attention to something more concrete.

It is like social media.
Hmm, I thought infrastructure components were AWS branded and business services Amazon branded. Like AWS EC2 vs Amazon Quicksight. But then this probably should have been under the Amazon brand so maybe they have another split.

>The Marxist definition of working class (i.e., the proletariat) had nothing to do with income distributions.

You're essentially summing up the flaws in the author's attempt to apply Marxist theory to a modern, capitalist society. The core differentiation between the bourgeoisie and proletariat is financial and social/cultural capital, or lack thereof. Also relevant are education (cultural influence and power) and property ownership, as they relate to upward mobility (this also aligns with the British working/middle/upper class definitions).

>Does the person you’re replying to make decisions about how profits are allocated in the company?

By this definition a Google midlevel engineer without any decision making power who earns near 300k is the working class, but a tech startup COO or CTO making $200k is not; I doubt most people would agree these people are in different classes in modern society. Applying strict Marxist definitions (which as you say lack any consideration of income distribution) to a modern capitalist society is a fallacy.

>They sell their labor in order to be able to make money and sustain themselves.

Doctors, engineers, pharmacists, lawyers, pilots all sell their labor to make money. But they tend to be property owners, own investments/equity (means of production), and are highly skilled, educated, and have cultural capital/respect in society. This aligns with the Marxist bourgeoise and middle/upper-class definition. Whereas a plumber or electrician making $100k who self-owns their business but not their home or any investments does not have the same financial or cultural power and more closely aligns with the definition of proletariat.
Video conferencing forces me to look at a person’s face. I never really do that in real life. My best chats usually happen while walking in the nearby park, where we are both facing forward almost the entire time.

There’s also a physical warmth you get when being near someone. Being physically close to a fellow primate who is part of your clan and who you trust not to kill you must trigger something that video calls do not.

I have no training at all in any of this and this could be complete pseudish nonsense. I would be interested to read more informed opinions about this sort of thing.
Bitcoin can't fix this because it would promote even more corruption, imagine if politicians sole goal in their political career was to get Bitcoin as soon as possible to live off their constantly growing savings? How do you get Bitcoin as fast as possible? Corruption is quick and dirty.

They are investing heavily in Starship. A spacecraft capable of getting to Mars.

> won't be using Starship

I wouldn't be so sure. Practically every non-SpaceX workhorse spacecraft in use today has roots in rockets developed in 1960s. That's 60+ years ago. Some are even earlier: Delta is the latest version of Thor from 1950s. Soyuz rockets were designed in 1960s. RD-180x series were built for Buran and is based on the NK-33 from 1960s.

It's not so difficult to imagine that 60 years from now, in the year 2082 we might be able to get people to Mars, perhaps using Starship.

> Starship will never bring a colony to Mars

Obviously. It will start with a small crew. Probably after we mastered getting to the moon.

This seems to be a basic principle of biology which fractally translates to entire societies. Piketty's data shows that historically, the curve was flattened only when the economy itself was upended, i.e. after wars. We need to engineer peaceful ways that violently rearrange the economy. A parallel money system like cryptos might have been used for that, but so far it has done the opposite
This looks really flawed - it seems to have taken 2020 as a "normal year" and not accounted for the lockdowns and economic shock of COVID-19. Sure there is a reduction in UK oil consumption from 20xx -> 2020 but to then take the rise after 2020 back to 2019 levels in 2022 as predictive is really silly.

Little nitpick:

In C/C++ it's "only" UB for signed ints.

For unsigned ints it's arithmetic modulo 2^n (where n is the number of bits in the value representation of that particular size of integer).

Such divergent definitions make the whole mess of course even bigger, that's not the point.

the first two are indeed dubious. But if anything qualifies objectively as good music it's Mozart. Together with Beethoven and Bach he's up there as the most important classical composer and unlike the latter I think easy to appreciate by people who don't listen to a lot of classical music.

> Is [it] actually equivalent to motion in an actually spherical space?

Yes. A 2D curved space. I think that's the point this is trying to demonstrate. Not that you can do some motions to rotate the position of the arm. You can obviously do that - that's how momentum/reaction wheels work to turn satellites without "pushing off anything".

But their demonstration does it with all the motion restricted to happen in the curved 2D space.
I found it helps to set boundaries and in one instance make it clear that I do not appreciate being called out of the blue. I feel almost everyone understands that a texting before a call is polite these days. Clarification was only required once for a colleague who tried dialling me into a meeting I wasn’t party to, just to ask me some questions that could have been an IM. They were actually a little younger, and so I think it was more a case of realising your impact on other people (who may be in or trying to achieve flow) if you interrupt them because it seems urgent to you. Like the article notes, the open plan office engendered interruptions too easily because it was convenient rather than urgent.

As a millennial I suppose I fall in between the two camps. When I was younger, social anxiety about taking up people’s valuable time with my silly questions made a phone call seem like a terrible burden to subject someone to, but with age and (remote work) experience, I’ve realised that conversations are indeed much higher bandwidth and often appreciated more than a letter or thread of back-and-forth clarifications. If I _had_ to stereotype by generation (sorry GP) I could say voice and video seem easier than reading and writing for boomers and Gen-Zs, but even that doesn’t sound right. It’s probably just a communication style thing. There’s a reason many of us struggle to read a book when we can watch some TV instead. As humans we communicate with our voice, face, and body. The main benefit of text is asynchronicity. The challenge is how to thread the needle of asynchronicity in an increasingly post-literate world.

The government isn't killing anyone, it's a doctor who works for the patient. One of my family members chose this, rather than suffer another year or two and then die anyway. According to the article 98% of the cases are like this. Knowing the exact date and time was difficult for me, compared with others who I've watched naturally succumb to disease. That said, this happened with fully informed consent, and in my view there's nothing evil about it - it's a reasonable treatment alternative when the best treatment will only prolong the inevitable.

Ask HN: What do you do to 'relax' after an intense day of firefighting?
I spent my Saturday on some intense software firefighting that started at 6AM in the morning, till about 5 in the evening. This obviously left me utterly exhausted at the end of the day. It's next day, I have had sleep, yet I still feel somewhat mentally spent.

I normally start my day with a book. But today I find myself not engaging with it at all. This usually happens after intense days.

Human brain is going to think, whether intentionally or not. At this point, I don't want my brain to work whatsoever. I want it to relax.

What are some things I can do to make my brain not work too much for some hours?

I have tried meditation, but I feel it only works for me when things are relatively quiet. Today I might end up racing my mind through thoughts. I cannot just go back to sleep either, due to similar reasons.
