Ceramics, pretty basic stuff similar to what we use for plates and such. You wouldn't want to eat the pigments in large quantities, but there's zero safety concern from enameled cast iron and the like. They're as inert as it gets.

I shopped at Fry's the food market as a kid. The electronics section was small and close to the cash registers. The section had a few movies, disposeable kodak cameras and film, batteries, and other small electronic stuff like walkman's.
> Caring for cast iron or carbon steel is fairly difficult

When it comes to cast iron this is clearly false. In the US, there are thousands of cast iron pans still hanging around that were used for decades or generations by non-rich non-“cookware geeks” who gasp used soap on their cast iron cookware and didn’t treat their cast iron cookware as if it were a delicate snowflake. Instead they just cooked with it, cleaned it how they wanted to, and nothing went horribly wrong.
Go do your own research -- and I mean, real, honest research, not "I'm going go confirm my own ideological biases." Don't pretend you're here to be convinced by me. I've seen your post history.
Your pricing sounds ambitious considering something like Autocad, which is a primary tool, costs about $2000/year, and you plan to charge $3000/month?

Since this is essentially a cost-saving thing, I don't think it's realistic to try to charge the cost saved. If I as a customer can save $100/day by using your software, but your software costs $100/day, why bother?
I found Scala horribly overwrought compared to either Java or Haskell. It's like it tried to mush together two different type systems and got the worst of both worlds. Languages do not need to be that complex. My next JVM language was Clojure, and I've never looked back. I'd try Kotlin before I'd go back to Scala.
Ask HN: Any way to ban GPT-4 and others from harvesting my content and data?
Is there a general law that can be used to make Language Models (LM) such as the incoming GPT-4 __not__ use our data? Say you're a blogger and don't want your content to be used in the training dataset. What options are available?

Is it ethical that OpenAI, MS, Google, and others monetize their AI models while using the web data without asking for permission from the authors?
Yea, then you lose all your money to cryptobros instead of traditional finance bros. Voyager & Celsius halted all withdrawals within the last month. You can claim "no true Scotsman", but the fact is billions of dollars of customer funds are locked up in these platforms.
I should have made my point clearer. Unlike you, I don't talk about energy in general. I not only refer to the amount of resources required to build electric vehicles, I also refer to the environmental impact of production waste.
I have a family member who exclusively drinks water from plastic bottles, at home. Does not trust the tap water nor even when it's filtered through the refrigerator. Yes they know the water in the bottle is also tap water, doesn't stop them.
Lebanese here. To answer some of the questions in this thread:

- No, Lebanon does not follow Islamic Banking.

- No, people can't make wire transfers anymore. All bank accounts are frozen, you can't withdraw your own money. You have to beg and wait in line for weeks to be able to get a tiny amount of your account to be able to buy bread etc.

- The local currency collapsed, lost more than 90% of its value. If the bank decides to give you some change (from your own money), they play money conversion tricks so that e.g. your account is down $1,000 but you get $100 only.

- This person did not "rob" the bank. He tried asking the bank for money because his father (and some people said his child as well) were in the hospital, needed medical care, and for that the hospital needed money. He had $210K in his account, but the bank kept kicking him away in previous attempts to appeal to them. He came back with a gun, and held hostages. Negotiated until they give back $35K, to his brother who was waiting outside. Then he surrendered without hurting anyone.

- He is now in bad health because he's on a hunger strike after they arrested him. (In the negotiation they promised him not to arrest him, but of course they need to make an example out of him.)

- Why is this all happening? Bad economic and financial policies for 40 years, rampant corruption. The economy was unproductive, but they kept the local currency subsidized, as it turns out by just spending the money that people deposited in the banks. And it's all gone now.

Yup, it's this. Lodge pans are good for the price but part of that price is they skip the polishing, so the surface is basically just what comes out of the sand cast.

The old griswald pans are prized by bargain hunters because of their near glass like smoothness. I dated someone that had a huge collection she'd found via craigslist and the like. Cooking with the smaller pans was really fun.
LAPACK has been written in Fortran 90+ since 2008 in version 3.2. That's nearly 15 years ago. The last release of the LAPACK reference was 3.10.1 released April 2022.

If your constrained to using Common Lisp, you can

- load and distribute LAPACK binaries (already well supported in principle, though Windows users typically have difficulties)

- fix the F77 translator and produce millions of lines of Common Lisp code for all LAPACK types (or, at worst, >100k for ZGEEV and dependencies)

- write a new F90+ translator and produce millions of lines of Common Lisp code for all LAPACK types

- write a numerically stable and accurate implementation from scratch that works for all manner of conditioned matrices (really hard!)

- translate a small subset of reliable F77 routines that clock in at a few 10k LOC and prove mathematically they can do more than what's written on the tin.

The first and last options are what have been chosen, the first allowing the most modern implementation of numerical functions for all data types, and the last allowing expedient independence from foreign binaries (i.e., it's pure Common Lisp).

Which option are you suggesting is optimal if you're seeking to relieve dependence—as a fallback for when it's unavailable—on a few shared libraries (/ foreign code)?
A suggestion I would have is treat the podcast a library to choose from and not a subscription.

For example:

* maybe you don’t love Marc Maron but you LOVE David Sedaris. Just listen to that interview.

* maybe you hate news but you’re curious about a specific current event. See if “The Daily” has an episode on that.

I’d recommend finding high quality podcasts and looking through their archive. There is no better podcast than hearing a high quality operation like “This American Life” tell a story all about one of your interests.

In that vein, I keep an eye on:

The daily

This American life

Marc Maron (he really pulls a lot out of people)

Those are super mainstream, but they’re popular for a reason.
The linked Evernote pages don't even render here (noscript). Following a long delay it just shows a blank page.

Excellent demonstration of how awful the status quo is vs. opening local files in /usr/share/doc/howto/txt/ with `less`.
Yes, it promotes the fiction that there will ever be commercially competitive fusion.

The more we learn, the farther into the future the prospect recedes.
The mom is not too different from one's wife who does not code, but always will look at the husband's poorly written code in spare time with awe and love.

Programming is just writing... No difference whatsoever...
FWIW, “a significant portion of Ethereum’s daily activity” doesn’t sound nearly as impressive to people outside the crypto bubble as you seem to think it does, especially those who are aware of the extent to which unregulated wash trading dominates NFT markets, rendering most of this activity imaginary at best and fraudulent at worst.

This is a very common trend I see when speaking with cryptocurrency advocates. When asked to point to success stories or real world use cases, 9/10 times the answer is related to some other cryptocurrency scheme: a swaps smart contract or a decentralized market maker, wallet software, etc. It seems like most of the use cases for cryptocurrencies are just more examples of the snake eating its own tail.

Gladly.

But as I said, possible shortages are gas for heating, industrial production, not electricity.
About the ten children: let's assume half were boys and half girls. That leaves three boys fighting it out to inherit. The girls get married off.

One son goes into the army. One goes into the clergy. I'm not sure about the third, if there even were five boys. Two or three is probably more common.
I think an entire week’s worth also seems high.

But, yeah, on the whole you’ve convinced me. This does seem like a ludicrously inefficient form of energy storage.
Simple tip for temp control: know the smoke point of your oil. Olive oil for example is in the range of 375-400F. So if you use it in a nonstick pan and see it smoking (not steaming) you know to pull back the temps a bit.
I'm not actually silencing anyone by down voting, but if enough people down vote then it does make it slightly harder to see the post. Of course, if you don't have showdead enabled in your profile, you don't get to see those posts. I'm not opposed to collective actions in a venue designed for it, such as this one. When I make a comment I am aware that it might be down voted to oblivion, and that's something I accept. I'm free to disassociate myself with Hacker News if I don't like it.
I think in python very easily.
If productivity grows primarily because of enabling capital, the proceeds from this growth will accrue more to the owner of capital than the laborer, roughly proportional to the contribution of each.

The problem is that human capital has saturated for many people. This is borne out by stagnating gains in education.

If productivity gains occur mostly because of technology with little human input, then that further bifurcates society between owners of that technology and everyone else. This does not help alleviate the modern malaise.

People are quick to point out the dropping of the gold standard, the end of cheap fossil fuels, the neoliberal economic changes, etc. that all occurred during the 1970s, and those all matter. But there's another factor which is that educational outcomes began to stagnate.

I don't think returning productivity growth to the postwar rate would have as much of an effect as it did then, because more of the productivity growth would be because of technology with concentrated ownership rather than broad gains in human ability.
These are the ones I listen to regularly.

Not sure about Lebanon, but in Russia right now you can't do pretty much anything with your money if it's USD/EUR and is in the bank account. Cash withdrawals are banned, SWIFT transfers are blocked, and there's only one bank that allows sending USD between its users (it is generally prohibited but they've found a loophole). Go figure.
If you're interested in AI, there's one podcast you need to listen to. The host's delivery is a little bit robotic, but the guests include some of the best AI minds in the world, as well as celebrities like Elon Musk, Joe Rogan, and the co-founder of Facebook.

It's called Lexman's Artificial Intelligence Podcast. The best thing is, there's a new episode every two hours, because the host doesn't need to sleep.

Moi aussi.

I usually launch my xterms from icons on the panel/taskbar/whatever-you-want-to-call-it. Doing that actually launches scripts that use whole sets of specific parameters for the new xterm window.

Thus, 'goroot' sets a largish xterm (115 x 58) with a right-hand scrollbar and reverse color and logs into the 'root' user. If you don't enter the root-user's password it will abort and disappear.

And 'read.news' runs nothing but a text-based usenet-reader in an xterm, and has extra code to prevent more than one instance running.
Barbecues causing mass extinction? Now that's one hell of a strawman. Citation still needed that modern society can "easily prevent" fatalities amongst healthy people, because it happens in all developed societies.
CEO's love spouting that they have all the responsibility, so chuck them in jail for 50 years. They do so much more damage to the society than even murderers, it's time for some fucking accountability.

Big companies usually don't innovate. And when they lose customer focus, they create opportunity for new companies to bring new & better products to market. For example, https://www.modumate.com is from a startup in SF, founded by a young architect.
And while they're at it, can they unify the pip, egg, conda, miniconda, apt-get dependency management madness? If we're putting in requests for miracles, that's mine.
The perfect negative response! This way there is at least a bank you can rob.
Extending your point, I think all of these subjective thought experiments on being tired are maybe useful for the person engaging in them.

People are so different for a myriad of ways that I don’t see how many of these ideas are generalizable.

Even being the same person but having different sugar and caffeine habits can dramatically change your energy level throughout the day. Without caffeine and sugar I have steady level of energy throughout the day. With sugar and caffeine I have peaks and valleys. It’s why I haven’t had soda since 2013.
I realised I made an assumption. The assumption is the comment is complaining about traditional corporate type work.

There is a belief, that I have lived myself that this is the only way.

A different way is to say do a year on 9-5 and year off living off less money. Or work half the hours.

These alternatives aren’t push button they require a lot of negotiation and some work to set up for yourself.
What’s not immediately obvious from this is that it was not uncommon for an installation to require about 30 floppies. Floppies of course are not 100% reliable and in my experience there’s a pretty good chance that at least one of the floppies will be corrupt. For me, this meant a trip into the campus computer lab to download and write a fresh copy of the needed disk.

When you decided that you wanted X11, you would need to follow the readme with the understanding that getting it wrong could fry your monitor.
Everyone should be ‘quiet quitting’
>buy a bottle on site and drink from that.

Then replace the single-use bottles with reusable ones like stores have done with bags.

>plastic bottles is the best way to deliver

Soda fountains, cans, at-home carbonation are all just as good if not better.

>microplastics are coming from the water supply

What? Water does not naturally contain microplastics. The microplastics come from plastic, not from water.

Why do you have such an interest in defending the bottle beverage industry?
The infotainment of the car maker had some oddities:
* the binaries were signed with a certificate emitted by a big certification company, repacking an update package could be challenging
* the system ran a fork of Windows CE and was co-developed with Microsoft
* the SoC documentation was only available under NDA (I was able to find only a one page datasheet)

For those reasons, instead of trying to repack the software for the original ECU, I started to sniff the CAN traffic and analyzing the binaries contained in the software update packages found online. That allowed me to reimplement the communication with other ECUs on a Linux SBC.

Exactly.

“It doesn’t matter” is what Mailchimp would say to former customers who are unhappy that they have been deprived of a vector to perpetuate Ponzi schemes.

And to the tiny fraction of crypto businesses that can’t be fairly described this way, I’m sure it’s not the first time that being part of a largely criminal and fraudulent sector has had this sort of consequence.
Enameled and egg is more or less a no go unless you use enough fat to in effect shallow fry.

The blunt truth is teflon pans are the best tool for eggs. There's alternatives you can make work, but nothing quite as good. So most of us just have a dedicated egg pan.

Seasoned carbon steel is probably your best bet for eggs outside of teflon. Its surface is usually smoother, and it seems to take the seasoning a bit different.
Barbara Oakley published a couple earlier this year or last year. She covers it all in my opinion. There’s also one called “Make it stick” which is okay.

https://barbaraoakley.com/books/
Yeah, that and the Gentoo wiki have gotten me past most major hurdles.

I think another answer is that much of what is covered by the HowTos is now built into the distros themselves; there's no need to learn X Y and Z if you want to do T, as you just select the "LAMP STACK" option in the distro installer.

Maybe the Mac is the straw that breaks the camels back.
You might have other leakages elsewhere (water heating is always a good one) that just fall below the threshold…and the Mac tips it over the GFCI?
Way to check would be to disconnect / isolate earthing downstream of GFCI and try with Mac then..
also to measure the GFCI leakage current (electricians usually have the instrumentation to do so)

I haven't worked with Haskell enough to fully object to this, so any complaints I could come up with would be second hand, so I'll abstain. I don't feel fluent in Haskell yet, but my impressions so far were mostly not negative.

I'm mostly complaining about static typing in the style of Mypy/Pyright and Java (and half of Scala, the other half is like Haskell). You know, the static typing one is likely to encounter in industry. But even Hindley-Milner isn't as expressive as fully dependent types like Agda or Idris. If you're going to use static typing at all, why not go all the way?
Thanks, I'll check them out. It seems like they mainly talk with people that have vested interest in talking about their companies but if they ask tough questions then I guess it's ok.

I just can't stand passionate talks about e.g. cement block-based gravity energy storage when in reality this idea would not have a chance of working. And a small $3000 prototype is not a viable proof.
Would be nice, but today's Yahoo would be SEO-steamrolled too I'm sure.

IMHO what is needed is an open, FOSS, royalty-free database-like format for URLs and descriptions NOT intimately connected with the presentation layer (HTML) like RSS.

Open Graph is kinda the start of what to collect per URL.

Then we need browsers to be able to add/delete/update on this database, let you search through it locally, and allow import/export of portions or the entirety of this database.

This is in direct contradiction to today's walled gardens, so it's not ever going to come from FAANG and friends.
Well, I asked them to change it and they wouldn't budge, so I didn't take the job. I explained my concerns and they said "oh that's not the intention of the contract" and I asked to change it to reflect the intention and they refused.

I dunno, maybe I'm just being stubborn and shot myself in the foot. But damn that contract was terrifying.

Not really, I just was given one as a present. This is in australia. By hardcore… this is a relative term but 24h I had no food, barely any water, and ended up catching a bug from the water I had as I didn’t sterilize it properly.

It was soft core in the sense we were close to civilisation and no one was going to die.

The main takeaways is being prepared esp. how to source water (bring water, filters, spares, more spares, ways to start fire to boil water) and calling for help (no reason to not get a beacon). And how to treat snake bites (because they can kill) was drilled in.
I'm a big fan of the Tefal pans for value. I use a mixture of stuff I've assembled over the years, but Tefal is my go to for having a couple nonstick pans around.

Carbon steel is very much like cast iron: it's easy to keep clean and seasoned, but some people like to make more elaborate rituals for whatever reason. I'd say it's easier to keep clean that cast iron typically actually, as it usually has a smoother surface finish, and having to herc a big heavy pan around in a sink is a legit annoyance.
Whatever library or tool you use will just call the `rename` syscall. As you would expect, rename simply renames a file. It deletes the old directory entry and creates a new one.

If you're using a library or tool to do this for you, you should know what it's doing.
I really like Jimmy Akin for his podcast, "Jimmy Akin's Mysterious World". It covers various mysteries topics, from the cause of inflation to remote viewing and parapsychology. Jimmy does all of this in a non sensationalist way while retaining an interesting story-like format. He comes to topics from both the perspective of the Catholic faith and applying a reasoned approach.
