Father of a university friend of mine was member of the Bundestag CDU party. He was convinced of this (both the father and the friend). It’s one of those “end of discussion arguments” that are too cute to be true.

Not only is it not actually true at all. But even if it were true: “Energy” is always not about creating or destroying it, but about moving or transforming it. A pizza might need more calories to make and bake than it contains as nutrients. But you can’t eat firewood. In the same way, even if a windmill merely functioned as a kind of MWh scale battery for the energy invested into its production, it might still be a worthwhile solution for certain use cases.
I think you're right to distinguish between kinds of tiredness, rather than levels.

The article, good and thoughtful as it is, suggests that a dead-tired state is somehow just more tired than normally tired. But there is also a tiredness in which you are keen and ready and would be happy to get moving with something, but your mind and body are unable to do the real work competently - the analysis or the lifting. This is like your exhaustion, without your languor.

I had this feeling a lot during 2020 and put it down to a justifiable mental response to the times (I hadn't had Covid, as far as I knew) until, slightly to my surprise, I was diagnosed with a vitamin B12 deficiency which turned out to explain pretty much the whole thing.

The Polygon Gallery (North Vancouver, BC) hosted The Clock a few years ago. But staying open for a 24 hour long film must be much easier than for a month long film.
You are right. Instead of happyness better strive for usefulness. It makes one more happy when you know your work, your life, your comment on HN or your existance is/was useful for something or someone.
This may come as a surprise, but there's plenty of wastage in locally shipped produce too. It's not so much the distance as the act of picking things and putting them into boxes, and taking them out of boxes again that does it.
Democrats have proposed cap and trade for carbon and indeed supported this when it came to acid rain. I think your view about both parties pushing absurd positions on this topic is incorrect.

> You must have global companies calling you all the time, seeking to hire you for your expertise.

Technically yes, though that’s because I’m working in tech.

I think you’re being sarcastic, though but you should understand that my education is not esoteric.

30 people in my class. Countless classes of the same curriculum in the same years. Countless years that this has been a thing.

I’m not sure what your problem is. That someone knows something with regards to global economics? That despite understanding economics I gave an argument from the ecological perspective?

Honestly. Get over yourself, you’re not as smart as you think by trying to drag people down.

I mean. For christs sake if not a person with a masters degree in this topic, then who on earth can weigh in with an opinion do you think?
It can also be vitamin B1 or B12 deficiency.
That decline doesn't affect urban centres, they're becoming even more dense - this is part of theproblem - but hard to reach rural/countryside areas where housing was not an issue.
At least some types of non-violent criminals belong behind the bars, I would say.

A very specific example are the fraudsters. Bernie Madoff type. There is something almost devilish about their combination of persuasion, charisma and utter disregard for consequences. And they tend to run new frauds if they have a possibility to do so, so it isn't very safe to let them walk.
It happens because a piece of code that was supposed to execute atomically ended up having an exception in the middle - so one assignment did execute, while the other one did not.

If you can well and truly isolate the state that concerns a single request from any other state, then yes, it is safe. The problem is proving that such isolation holds.

Memory-safe or not doesn't actually matter much here.

> What replaced "trial by ordeal"? In the continental Europe, "confession under inquisition"; in England, "jury trail"

Rome had juries. They were an improvement on Athenian trial-by-mob. The Magna Carta secured trial by jury around the time the Church abolished trial by ordeal, but the jury system was already being assembled before that by Æthelred the Unready and Henry II. It’s unclear if juries replaced ordeals in England versus both being driven by the same legalising trend.

As long as there is no direct evidence supporting the Big Bang theory, any other alternative is equally good IMO.

The JSWT observations putting some doubt on the Big Bang theory are the observations of very old galaxies. E.g. one was observed at a time that the universe was only 250 million years old (according to BB theory), really not much on a cosmological time scale. The thing about this galaxy was, that it seemed like a pretty normal galaxy already. Which makes people wonder how it could have formed so quickly.

Another observation casting doubt on the Big Bang theory is the (indirect) observation of some very early massive black holes. Again the question is how they could have formed so fast.
Thanks for the feedback! The level generation probably still needs tuning to avoid those kinds of levels. Daily leaderboard is a great idea!
I think one of the first "quirky" computer books I can remember is a user manual for the Epson MX-80 dot matrix printer from the 1980s.

Corporations need to focus on being efficient, and doing what they do best within the rules. Government should concern itself with doing its best to continue a healthy, happy nation. Regulation does not always need to be complex, and it should put public interest ahead of corporate agency.
Ask HN: How would one start doing TDD “properly”?
I was reading today a small rant by GeePaw (https://twitter.com/GeePawHill/status/1558159024520151041) and made me think that I don't feel I ever a) did TDD the "right way" b) ever found a good resource on how to do it. For people that to it, what would you recommend to your younger self?

What has the reputation of being less flaky then Cypresss? My experience is that it is easier to write a non flaky test in Cypress than in Selenium.
I'll have to agree with Apple defense force posters who downvoted you on this one, getting tazed is the thrill of using ungrounded appliances. By ignoring safety concerns, they can save on components, which saves on CO2 emissions.
Where I live in the Midwest US, most people from Asia or with Asian ancestry are Hmong, Korean, Chinese or Japanese. Essentially, "Asian" has become a euphemism for "East Asian". There's a notable exception in Rochester, Minnesota, where the Mayo Clinic and related industry drew a lot of immigration from India.

As a result, "India" is occasionally lumped in with "South Asia" but is typically referred to as its own entity in lay conversation.

I suspect part of that is proximity to the middle east, which is also rarely lumped in with "Asia" in colloquial conversation, and general confusion or laziness over needing to specify the "east" part of "east Asia".

Other parts of the country probably speak differently based on who lives there.

I can say this though - if I want to go to a restaurant for "Asian" food, it'll usually be Chinese, Japanese or Vietnamese, and the restaurant will typically offer dishes from at least two of those cuisines (sometimes authentic, sometimes heavily tailored to a Midwestern pallet). On the other hand, if I want Indian food, I'm going to an Indian restaurant, and the closest thing on offer to one of the other above cuisines is some variation of a Manchurian dish from Mumbai, depending on what regional focus or focuses the restaurant offers.

> Sure, IPv4 blocks have reputation but I've never heard of the equivalent for ASNs, especially ones that have a small number of digits.

tl/dr; ASN's are highly visible to network engineers, it's your identiy as a network. Lower/shorter numbers are "better", at least to some people.

All of the 4 digit ASN's were originally allocated in the 90's, during the initial ISP/dot com boom and are often viewed as a sign of being an established player, or just "cool". Almost all the major ISP's use 3 or 4-digit ASN's: 3356 = Level3/Centurylink/Lumen, 701 = Verizon, 174 = Cogent, 1299 = Telia (now Arelion), 2914 = NTT, 6453 = TATA, etc. Even Netflix snagged 2906 when ARIN suddenly recycled a bunch of 4-digit ASN's in 2009.

If you are an ISP, every one of your BGP customers and peers has to configure a BGP session with your ASN so it has maximal visibility in that use case. Even if you are just peering on public IX's, every peer will see your ASN when they configure the session or do "show bgp sum".

These days there is a similar effect though less dramatic for 5-digit ASN's, and that is reflected in the lower asking prices.

What surprises me is how fast the 5-digit ASN's were selling (look at recent sales). In the ARIN region you can get a 5-digit ASN just for asking when you apply, otherwise they assign a 6-digit by default most of the time. The takeaway from this is that people are paying for a definite, specific number that they like rather than take their chances with a random assignment from ARIN.
Have you tried sidebery for ff?
Agreed, the "Figma for BIM" space is exciting. We're lucky to be backed by Dylan and some awesome AEC folks as we at Arcol try to re-think building design.

Yes, there's definitely a lot to be said for open source software, we're big supporters of it at Arcol and hope we're able to contribute to some of those projects in a meaningful way over the next few years.
Most of unix is like that though.
If this is obviously wrong, then how and why does it work in most countries other than US? Most people don't have sources of income other than employment (or other sources that are similarly transparent to the tax authorities already). Most tax systems, accordingly, are structured around that, and only those who have unusual income sources have to submit documentation about them.
Nope. Early days of web were fun, especially since not everyone and their grandmother were terminally online.

If my seasoning is getting a bit thin I just smear on some oil in a thin layer and heat at high temperature for about 3 minutes and that’s it. I never have any rust spots because I always dry it after use.

I don’t find it very high maintenance at all.
Not intimately familiar with how text search works in indexing but in most Romanized / Latin script text determiners, articles, etc. are space separated from the nouns which can be confusing and introduce state into queries due to the need to perform some splitting within character sequences. This isn’t the same thing as finding the roots of words / stemming for fuzzy search purposes either. “짬뽕이 맛있습니다” has a plain noun 짬뽕 with case marking via -이 and the ending copula is parseable as a run on phrase but Finnish has case marking without space separation too and doesn’t seem to be cited as a parse / representation problem last I saw. In English it’s “the 짬뽕 is delicious” where noun is obvious and if you split by spaces you can quickly throw away “the” and “is” while it’s not clear in the Korean until you check for the case marker and prior glyphs for a parse. Now, where I think there can be issues is in Unicode glyph representations where multiple codes can wind up to the same symbol.

We used cast iron for quite a while. It wasn't that non stick for things like eggs, was way more annoying to clean properly and get all the cooking residue of food that got stuck on the pan, and was too heavy and after months of use never really developed that 'seasoning'. And we babied it a lot, with special brushes, avoided acidic foods and lots of soap in cleaning it. It was annoying. So eventually I just got the triple clad cuisinart you had and I find the stainless steel way nicer and easier to clean.

Guidelines for all of these things individually seem to ignore the likely unstudied possibility that they have synergistic effects. Or even just additive effects because many of them are so similar to each other.
This is sort of speculation on my part: The fact that static typing PEPs can't easily introduce syntactic changes to the language (I don't think there has been a syntactic change introduced because of static typing ever since Python 3.5) will really hold back Python's static typing from being ergonomic at least, and "fully capable" at the worst.

I think that limitation of statically typed Python alone is enough to give this new language a chance.

It's also looks like the type inference of erg will be better than the current Python checkers.
As someone coming from FP and having to use Python at work, I have the opposite perspective: I am constantly frustrated at how bad the type hinting is, and how few "guardrails" there are generally. :(

I don't know if this is what I'm looking for, but I think there's a ton of room for innovation and improvement in the python world. I welcome this language and I think it's quite interesting!
I suggest you stop reading conspiracy books. Crypto isn't failing (and has no future) because of some shady conspiracy. It's failing because it's a bad idea that wastes energy. It's usage as a currency will never, ever happen. It's just fundamentally flawed.
“either you’re working or you’re listening to music”.

the progression of my career has looked like this:

- need total quiet: no music, no talking.

- some music is fine: it can’t have lyrics though and it’s best if it’s more textural.

- i can listen to (and process the lyrics to) hip hop and rap and still type.

- i can listen to YouTube educationals and catch about a third of the content.

- i can rewatch movies i’ve seen before and keep up with the important plot parts.

sure, for the parts of the day where i’m working out differential equations or solving circuits and such, i go back to silence. but if 90% of your work is just plumbing values from one place to another… if you’ve progressed anywhere along that sequence i listed then i think it’s naive to take that simple “either/or” view of things.
> As for land transport becoming more efficient than ocean, that’s a pipe dream

I don't remember exact numbers from 2019, but it was something like:

Air: 1 metric tonne: $100, 24h

Rail: $40; 10 days

Ship: $8; 30 days

Let's say it's 2049 and we have 4 powers: new Europe, USA, China and India. China starts the full scale blockade of Taiwan to wait for the USA for the kinetic escalation. Only USA ships are blocked, so Japan, Korea, Europe do nothing. The situation last for years. The freight cost goes up massively due to risk, the fuel is 2x-3x more expensive - cheap oil is gone and the last big reserve is in Arctic. Magnetic rail China-Europe is finished and you stack up 3 containers which are delivered in 48h. Land transportation became better than ships.

> Rail is also less resilient in times of war

True, but the new Europe will be neutral is the USA-China conflict.

> Xi’s strategic fuckup has been in failing to see that China, too, could command a Leviathan

I don't think Xi made a mistake. I don't think we have a reliable data from China. China started shrinking due to Covid way sooner that the models predicted. The official number about 12 mln births, but that doesn't correlate well with mandatory tuberculosis vaccinations. The real number could be 9 mln. Xi perception might be he has 10 years not 30. What is more, I think China is like Japan in 1930. From China's perspective there is no option - we fight or we die.

The more optimistic scenario:
Xi is gone. USA makes Kissinger 2.0 - a deal that must be secret. USA does nothing and China takes over Taiwan without the invasion. North and South Korea is demilitarised. China still uses USD.
Ask your customers. Propose your current amount and be honest "do you think this is fair?" If they say yes great! If not, ask what they think is reasonable. Set yourself a lower limit to keep it profitable for yourself.

I know enough about people focusing too much on their wellbeing. You can trust me. Your mindset is more harmful than mine.

Sometimes the body needs rest, it's certainly true, but humans are adapted to a rather unforgiving environment in which you had to function even when in bad shape. Mind and body are connected.
My biggest concern would be that this is all predicated on the idea that engineers are doing nothing useful (and thus burning time/money) when tests are running, which isn’t usually true.
So what DID happen after? :)
You need to determine which type of customer you’re targeting.

At the high end, some enterprise companies won’t blink at the prices you’re suggesting. However, they will expect a level of customer support and service agreements that are going to make you work hard to deliver what they ask. You’re also going to need to be heavily involved in sales cycles and support, which will start costing you many, many hours just to get the sale.

Are you prepared to handle this and stay responsive? If not, you will have mixed results pushing high priced offerings, especially if they have deal-breaker limitations (like your 30 second test limit) that could saddle the customer with even more work to integrate and use your tool. You have to acknowledge that your service isn’t purely savings for the customer. It’s work to implement and maintain on their end, as well as handle billing and so on. You cannot make sweeping calculations about savings without ignoring the costs it brings to a company to add your tool.

On the other end of the spectrum, you could target the self-serve market with lower priced services. These offerings can get away with a “take it or leave it” type of service where customers are mostly on their own to evaluate, pay for, and self-support the software. If the tool is good, engineers will try to make it work. However, I suspect you’re massively overestimating the way that test times are a blocker for most engineer workflows. Even with long text suites, we don’t just sit and stare at the monitor while we wait. That’s time for responding to communications, checking other things, taking a short break and so on. You could have a hard time selling engineers on the idea that they can do more work and take fewer breaks while paying for the privilege. Choose your marketing angle wisely.

So I reversed the CAN traffic and replaced the infotainment ECU with my own reimplementation. I published my work and findings on medium thinking that nobody could notice them...

Correct, nowhere in the article did they claim the cuts were unique.

I cannot fathom why people are so defensive about this article and say it makes claims it never does actually make. This might actually be more interesting than the article itself…
Many sellers can't afford to do a renovation and even if they can, they don't have the knowledge to do what the market wants. (They can't borrow without both equity and the ability to repay.) They also may not have the time.

Many buyers aren't interested in doing a renovation, and most of the other things apply.

People who renovate for a living do have those things.

You seem to think that holding out for more money is no-cost - you're wrong.

Flippers lose money if they're wrong about the market, so why are you so insistent that it's wrong for them to make money?

Which reminds me, how long does someone have to own something for you to be okay with them selling?
This is exactly how rejoining an in-progress Heroes of the Storm(another Blizzard title that was built on top of the Starcraft II engine) match worked. You would 'fast-forward' through and it could often take 5+ minutes on a slower machine.

The ideal system would be similar to what we have with video algorithms. Every so often we draw out the full data needed for the existing state, then from then on-wards is just diffs until the next key frame is reached.
