expensive cars are already uncool. except amongst oligarchs I don't think many would profess their love of car interiors from like.. Bentley and it's hand stitched unashamed whole piece leather interior? or the busyness of Porsche and it's thousand button centre console. It's all just so excessive, and excess is definitely uncool nowadays

If you are targeting a GNU/Linux system and possibly other Unix like systems you can use pkg-config for this. All of the mainstream Linux distros support and use pkg-config, but I'm less sure about the BSD systems and MacOS since I've never used those before but from what I gather it should work for them too. Most Windows users probably don't have pkg-config installed but I also am not familiar with Windows.

Anyways if you are targeting platforms that support it, pkg-config will automatically generate the required flags for you, you can append them to a variable however you like, and later pass that variable to the compiler and linker.

You can try this out in a shell session if you are curious, try running:

pkg-config gl --cflags --libs

You can see what libraries it knows about by running:

pkg-config --list-all

Even when not using make directly a lot of build systems will be using pkg-config "under the hood"! Cmake is an exception here and has it's own way of doing this, but you can configure it to use what you want.

Just to be clear I am not saying makefiles are good or bad or what you should use, I just wanted to mention pkg-config because it's pretty cool and useful to know about.

The real answer to your question is to just use cmake I think!
Nice to see my preferred "local" online shop on HN.

My ideal use for a colour e-ink is reading comics or graphic novels. At 15s a refresh it's not quite convenient but this is promising.

American homes in 1950 averaged 983 square feet; by 2014, the size had nearly tripled to 2,657 square feet. Today, 91 percent of our homes are air-conditioned.

This is not actually a good thing. This is actually a problem.

I think the metaphor of doorknobs doesn't really capture what it is that motivates people to converse. To my mind's eye, an door that's ajar is more compelling since it provides a glimpse of myriad untold imaginings that may lie within. Ideally, the not-yet-engaged conversant might be tempted to peek behind this door to speak to something personally of interest to them, regardless of what was said by whomever opened it. I think the trick is to suggest several possible openings such that one manages to suck them in.

A topic I find never fails to engage is a recent movie or book, liked or hated. Why so? Did the techniques of the author or director or cast or production resonate or miss the mark? how would they have changed the plot, the actors, the setting, or the ending? How did this story compare to others they liked more? And so on…

There's nothing magic about movies or books, but everyone has opinions about storytelling and usually feels free to discuss it, since involvement and criticism are pretty much the purpose of fiction in the first place. That's one open door that will usually entice a room of strangers to break the silence.
But with say software, you can verify yourself if you wanted to whether something is true or not. And if you can find sufficient evidence that something isn't true it'll get corrected.

With religion you're expected to believe many things without evidence. And often times in the face of evidence against the thing.
- They are disloyal leeches.

Implies there ever was, or should have been any loyalty. Should a child be loyal to a stranger offering candy? Let's even grant the stranger purest of intentions. Should they?

I personally am not friends with any corporation, and I'd laugh at any suggestion of the inverse. It's business, the few businesses that demonstrate and earn trust will have loyalty, but it's all uphill. Because after, they're just strangers.
Too much power, too much heat, not bright enough in showrooms to compete against LED TVs even though objectively, plasmas had better quality than LED tvs.

I have a 720 Samsung plasma circa 2011 that looks better than cheap 1080p LED from a few years ago. I will likely replace it with a 4K OLED in the next year or two and will keep ut one for a other decade or so.
To see if gojq works even with complex jq programs, I tested it on my wsjq[0] Whitespace language interpreter, which uses most of the advanced jq features. It impressively appears to support the full jq language, though I uncovered a bug[1] in gojq.

gojq's arbitrary-precision integer support will be useful (jq just uses 64-bit floating-point), though I suspect it will have performance regressions, since it uses math/big, instead of GMP.

Many of the issues that seem like doom and gloom will be solved, through human ingenuity and perseverance. Getting all bent out of shape and depressed is not the answer as the truth is that all those things aren’t nearly as bad as many are making them out to be. Your understanding of climate change is severely limited, and yes your opinion is thoroughly unfounded when you look at the full picture.

The current wars are barely a blip compared to wars in years past.

Deglobalization at the scale it’s happening is a good thing so I’m not sure why you’re upset about it. The scale at which we were doing it was unsustainable and was causing more harm than good in the more recent past.

Resource scarcity is something people like to cry wolf about but never actually comes to pass.

Economic bubbles have existed for millennia and aren’t new or that scary.

I like the topic of the article, however I would suggest that the output of mass collaboration is “emergent” (as in “you don’t really know what or how things will develop”) as opposed to “synergistic” or “additive” as suggested by the author.

In other words, Wikipedia is indeed a a mass collaboration effort, but it is a compendium of information rather than a single, well-defined, top-down masterwork. There are rules, and then something emerges.

Another example is scientific progress. All of the biologists in the world do not work on solving a single problem. Instead, they compete and contribute according to scientific disciplines by solving individual problems and their results become part of the collective progress in biology. There is no one “conductor” making this happen.

I could be that the solution to major societal problems will most likely come from this kind of mass collaboration. Set rules, incentivize engagement and then see emergent changes. But it’s just a thought.
Except afaik the market for phones with headphone jacks is larger than actual small phones.
I think the issue here is that I fundamentally disagree with the direction of this particular ribbing. I think we should be sensitive to this kind of naive questioning, which comes from a good place (wanting to make teaching easier and more effective) and can lead down productive paths where our priors are deconstructed such that we change what we think of as possible. We work in an industry where rabbits have been pulled out of hats and geese have laid golden eggs, by which I mean people have put their minds to hard problems and have come up with solutions that before seemed impossible and would have faced the ridicule that you're defending. To the extent that ridicule causes people to be less curious, we should be very careful about deploying it.

You seem to interpret attacks against your argument as attacks against your character, that's not the case.

"Such b.s." refers to what you said, the rest of what you quoted is hostile but not to you as a person but a criticism of your thinking process and an expression of frustration when you take the time to replh but ignore the plain points I made in my comment and make generalized conclusions like how email is the only way without addressing any of the points in my comment that disagreed with what you are saying. I harbor no hostility towards you but I must criticize your argument and thinking process which might require directness and blutness which in a technical site like HN I would expect to be acceptable.
Appreciate the feedback! We think that git can be difficult to use, especially for beginners but definitely agree it's going to be hard to compete with free.
"If I take out a loan to live it up for a year, but then have no way of paying it back, because I haven't invested the money into anything substantial did things really got better for me?"

Yes. Because those you spent it with must have, or you wouldn't have been able to buy anything with it. Therefore you caused things to happen that wouldn't otherwise have happened.

Debt is one of human's greatest inventions. It's what allows us to ensure that the underlying currency - human labour time - isn't wasted because there is no call to use it today.

Instead we have a currency - "here's a pig, owe me one" that causes a surplus to arise. Some people won't be able to fulfil that promise in which case it will, in advanced societies, be cancelled. That's what bankruptcy is for. The assets you used to secure the loan are then transferred to others. However the use of labour time in others to create the capacity to generate a surplus remains somewhere down the induced transaction chain.

Debt is the magic by which money is created on demand. That causes information to be transmitted down the supply chain that causes the capacity to make more to arise.

Which is why those societies that use debt are more advanced than those that chose to outlaw its use. They ended up with fewer days wasted in aggregate and more capacity to produce.

Most people fulfil their promises since it is inherent in human society to do right by others. And quite a lot of people like holding the assets that represent the debt as a status symbol of how well they have done - whether they can actually really call in those promises or not.
Mostly a combination of Ultracrepidarianism and Dunning-Kruger, I would guess. Without doubt there are many very smart people here who know a lot about their respective fields and who have lots of opinions about other fields they may not know so much about.

Chrome does not block requests reliably at startup when opening saved tabs and doesn't allow CNAME uncloaking. Adding something along the lines of

to the DNS config is enough to fool uBlock Origin on Chrome and requires a special rule.
There will not be "limitless fusion power".

There will not even be "limited fusion power".

What there is, in their place, is defrauding investors. There is plenty of that. (NRGV, e.g.) Such investors are supposed to be able to look after themselves, but often enough they are pension funds managing what is supposed to be people's retirement money.

In short: yes, deuterium is cheap, relative to the energy available from fusing it. Even tritium is cheap. But actually extracting that energy in usable form is extremely expensive. It is, in fact, overwhelmingly more expensive than extracting energy from fission.

And fission is not competitive. Existing fission plants will be mothballed as their output is undercut by renewables to the point where no one will pay enough for it to support continued operation.

Renewable energy is not at that point yet, but its cost is still in free fall.
Speaking of Samsung I wonder if anyone here has experience with the x cover pro series. Looks like a pretty decent deal for a phone with a user removable back and replaceable battery? Looks like Linux kernel 5.4 Android 12

I think among the ultra rich are very, very few climate experts and someone can be a hypocrite regarding their lifestyle while being correct about the need for change. People are local optimization machines and one can know that there is a great danger lurking in the future whilst over dosing on consumption.
I don’t know what ‘half future’ means. But they have plastic fronts for pedestrian crash safety and they can be full plastic unlike normal cars because they don’t need radiators. Same for ventilation - they don’t need cooling so no ventilation.
Long hours in Japan just means they don't want to go home many times. Work can be pretty slow in office settings.

Need to take the literature as a whole. One can always postulate more complicated causal relationships and caveats, but in the end the question is should a random person take Vitamin E tomorrow? The answer is clearly no, for me.

A useful tool is Mendelian randomization. This looks for disease phenotypes that differ between people with different levels of vitamin E which is genetically determined. This is perfectly 'natural' vitamin E, not even a supplement.

I work 6h x 5d.

7 person company doing CMS customization and operations for large gov, edu, and ngo clients.

I started as a contractor at that schedule, and when my boss wanted to "put a ring on it" they didn't want to up my pay by 30%. If you account for that time, I am in the top 10% of earners for my stack according to stack overflow.

That process took a long time and a willingness to work for "less", as well as a lot of uncertainty and a willingness to do a lot of shit work that should be "not my problem".

Also, after having worked with the same business for the last 7 years, there are some things that I feel I could improve:

- I'm the old guy who is supposed to know fix the hard issues and if I can't figure it out then it probably isn't getting fixed
- I haven't gotten reasonable raises but I don't want to start my own business or take a full-time position (though I have gotten some okay bonuses)
- I'm working mostly with WordPress, which has a number of infuriating flaws and while I've gotten better at identifying, preventing, and remediating them it's still a crappy stack
- I've had to learn a lot of infrastructure stuff I don't particularly care about

But I do have health insurance, and have been working a relaxed schedule remotely the entire time. I've spent a lot of time practicing various musical instruments while ruminating on my work. And we're usually pretty easy-going about moving hours around if (for instance) the snow is really good and I want to get out and ski.

Also, I get the idea that everyone in my business has gone through some serious depressive or other personal issues (based on their periodic lack of availability) over the time we've been working together... I know that when my second marriage was breaking up there were multi-day periods where I was literally phoning it in for several months. I consider the fact that we're all still working and getting a lot of useful, remunerative things done to be one fact that keeps me working this business instead of, like, taking up electrical contracting (that is, finding another trade) where I think I could have more control over my working conditions.

I also have enough extra time that I can work side gigs, mostly involved with performing music in a variety of capacities. I happily engineered a concert last night and played a trio gig at a beautiful winery today.

I feel incredibly fortunate, even though I could probably triple my annual income if I were motivated.
How did you get to self-employment?
> the anti-semite line was easy to make stick

No it wasn't. Tremendous coordination and force went into pushing that line.

> because of his well known vocal opposition to the Israeli oppression of Palestinians

A view shared by right thinking people everywhere. Oppression is bad yo.

> it was a case of corporate interests and the Tory party pushing the "emergency button" as an real Social Democrat was getting too popular and very close to becoming PM.

Yes. But it wasn't easy, and it wasn't right, and the fact that the BBC and the Guardian and every other major paper and network failed to call the smear campaign out - and even fed it - is indicative of horrifying and deep problems.

> as seems to be the fashion for left wing politicians, he has a soft spot for Russia

Not really, he just isn't into escalating into war with a nuclear power; and recognizes that the Russian people are not the Russian leadership. This "nuance" has been shot and buried in a shallow grave.

> I think some people still think there is a Communist utopia over there, it's very strange.

Literally no one is saying that, except for corporate right wing media putting words in people's mouths. It's really weird that you'd believe them, given - again - that no one is saying that, or anything even remotely like it.

> I don't believe that there would have been no response from the UK to the Russian invasion if he had ended up PM, but it would have been slower and less impactful.

Again, this is a line pushed by right wing corporate media against left leaders all the time. And I thoroughly disagree with it.

Like - how is BoJo faring right now? Do you feel he's respected as a leader? Come off it.

And Britain is on the brink of blackouts without Russian oil, thanks to the dependence on oil fostered by Tories and their mates. A left, pro environment government would not have been so dependent in the first place.

Because Motorola have actually bothered to pay AT&T more money just to allow their phone in AT&T's network. (https://www.att.com/idpassets/images/support/pdf/Devices-Wor...) It's basically "AT&T approved telephones" all over again. Worse, if you're on vacation in America and your carrier only supports roaming through AT&T and you happened to own a device that isn't approved (probably because that manufacturer doesn't sell their device in the US or it's the Exynos version of Samsung products), you won't receive any calls, period.
The issue is that fast pixel response time does not fix a slow refresh rate. Now if you strobe the image then you have a good solution, but most all content is sub 60 Hz and strobing at such low rates is a real headache. Pretty much the only option that can work is temporal interpolation. That's a comparatively huge can of worms.

The encoding part is one concern, but what about ryu? Is “Apache-2.0 OR BSL-1.0” not accurate? Neither of those showed up in the grep for license lines?

Sure, BSL is an obviously free license that is basically just a wording variant of MIT, but it is not showing up in that grep. Note: I’ve not actually read the copyright file, So perhaps It is clearly accounted for there, but is just not formatted in a way that the grep query used can find it.
This place has lots of world class thinkers but is heavily overburdened with title janitors and tone police.

Pretty much anything with money transactions can be classified as laundering. If governments dont like you aby transaction you made can be classified as such. Money laundering is basically like a catch all tools by law enforcers who cant do their job properly and need a cheatcode to do so. Cash is widely use in laundering as well. Guess how government enforce money laundering on that since it is so hard for then to trace, civil forfeiture. We should always boycott and saturate law enforcers and politicians whenever they touch on this area. Their overhand is getting worst everyday.
thanks, I work at a financial institution, so I "Googled" it a few times, short selling is based on borrowing the underlying securities - not owning them - or alternatively owning a(n often bespoke) derivative, related to those securities, which behaves as a short.

If you own a security you are long, not short.
