If you reduce residential use to zero (clearly impossible, but what's a thought experiment for anyway?), you've reduced water consumption overall by 7-10%. That means that every single problem you faced before is still with you, despite having performed the impossible.

Low hanging fruit, and all that ....
Python also formats their parentheses the non lisp way. You typically format things like this:

data = [
[1, 2, 3],
[4, 5, 6],
[7, 8, 9, [10, 11, 12]]
]

Any language that uses closing symbols formats them that way, in Pyhton in Java, in C etc. Lisp is the only example where they don't properly indent closing symbols and instead just put them all together at the last statement.
All the ones at the levers of power that matter.

It is utterly ridiculous to build a giant city in the middle of a desert, and then to cry bully everyone else into giving up their water so that the ridiculous city can continue its unsustainable path.
Style changes and quickly become usability and accessibility issues. I'd rather my app continues to work well as I tested it, than having to test all of the shit on every other OS patch.
4chan is having a field day with AI generated porn of celebrities (often with ridiculous prompts) and selecting the most unsettling. One for Billie Ellish looks like some kind of orphaned shoggoth/succubus hybrid just made its first attempt at luring in someone for a meal: "You like human females, yes?" Cataract eyes, aggressive lobotomy mouth, it forgot to pay attention to shoulders and didn't know spines existed or what they were for. Or a second attempt, this time at Bjork, suggesting some kind of lost hominid which consumed only melons in a predator-rich environment.
Seems that they just wanted to block some piracy sites like newalbumreleases.net if you compare the dates and check the IPs behind those domains. Wonder however if this actually enforced because I think there is no IP block and no reports from Austria about collateral damage (or am I wrong and Austria cannot complain because they are cut of from the internet)

Edit: btw, the domains added with date August 29 are already blocked in Germany and some other EU countries for a while: https://onlinefilter.info/cuii-dns-sperre/newalbumreleasesne... .
Sometimes being an expert is not as hard as you think. If by expert, you mean competent enough to contribute then it is doable. It is hard to get acclaim in multiple fields. Building that status is a life long endeavor. But doing something self-actualizing in multiple fields with competence is totally achievable.

I personally want to write a book, record an album, publish as first author in a tier 1 research conference and patent it, create a useful product with real commercial appeal, perform a standup special and be a great educator. As long as I don't care about citations, billboards or best seller lists it is all achievable.

I got the paper/patent out and am on my way to building a useful product of my own. I am getting better at the drums and jamming, have performed short skit comedy on stage and make sure to write long form stuff on useless internet forums. My educational pursuits are lagging, but I do try to mentor half a dozen people at any given point in time.

I didn't start with most until I was an adult too. As of now, it feels achievable. But my ability to achieve it is a purely internal pursuit, which helps. My natural ADHDness also helps. Ask me again in 30 years, maybe it'll be a good time to write about how I tried to do 20 things and succeeded/failed.

The key is to put yourself within easy access of these activities and be content with little wins. I wrote skit comedy when i was with fellow drama kids. I play drums now that i have a garage. I taught when my prof needed summer volunteers. I stubnornly seeked a role at the intersection of research and industry to find easy opportunities for novel applied research. The fun is in the journey. A healthy dose of self-delusion saying you don't care about the outcome also helps. I could go into a long tangent on the powers of self-delusion....but I'll leave that for another day.
I like that UI better than Helvum! Does it also work with PipeWire?
No. The idea is to charge them enough for their water that you can afford sources that are expensive but won't run out (e.g., desalination) to provide it.

It is probably helpful to present a competent image when job searching. It shows you can develop and run a site, and that you have interests of your own.
Among whales, only the Killer whale and the Pilot whale feed on fish, and they do not consume a ruinous quantity of fish. Only commercial fishing consumes a ruinous, species-extinction level quantity of fish. It is a shame we can't do anything about this sort of ignorance and bias that is engrained in some cultures, nor hardly anything to stop commercial fishing from depleting fish stocks season after season. We are killing the ocean. Once the fish are all gone, they never ever come back from being fished to extinction.
Haven't classes -- as things which house methods and fields together -- gone out of fashion? I think the same thing has happened with inheritance.

The ontological problem of "does the knife cut the cucumber" or "does the cucumber get cut with the knife" seems serious. The "is-a" relationship is also problematic, because does a square inherit both from rhombus and parallelogram?

Lisp has lots of multi-line expressions.

That the expression is ended I can see in the typical Lisp expression because of the block structure. The single parentheses does make the layout very cluttered and visually ugly. It gets even worse in typically larger Lisp code or data.
Python does it and is still very much alive. It's also idiomatic in C++.
Wizz Air now charging some travellers a strange extra fee (2020)
Just tried this myself, sure enough as you scroll down to the card payment section on the final page of the checkout flow (after all the optional upsells, seat selection etc), the price increases by £10 x per passenger thanks to a "System surcharge" that is added. You wouldn't notice the charge being added unless you explicitly looked out for it, as it only appears when you start scrolling the page down to the card details form.

Disabling ad block results in the charge not being applied.

What's even more baffling is I had to complete a reCAPTCHA half way through the checkout flow, so them saying it's to do with bot detection is a stretch.

Edited as I forgot to mention the captcha code during checkout flow.
You seem to be using "cancels" in a very loose sense. When you're talking about actions of these providers, and their duties/responsibilities, some precision is required.

These companies are allowed to end a business relationship. They are not allowed to just "take away" a domain without just cause^. That domain is still registered and you are free to take it to another registrar.

>NameCheap cancels peoples domains prematurely due to their country of origin - gets away with it.

If you're referring to their actions about Russia, they didn't "cancel" a domain. They gave all of their users a time frame to transfer their domains out before they ended the business relationship. Now, personally, I believe their timeline was too short - but a week is a reasonable notification.

This is very different from a more colloquially understood usage of cancel, which would imply that they immediately terminated service and did not allow the domain registrant to keep the domain. That is simply not the case, and also within line with ICANN policies.

^ im not an expert on the tos or legalities of this stuff, but things like fraud or spam can definitely get your domain "taken away" on most (if not all?) tlds

People need to read John Carmack and John Romero's epic adventures of Doom: https://www.amazon.com/Masters-of-Doom-David-Kushner-audiobo...

Even in the 90's they had to fight hordes and hordes of Californian nutjobs (Diane Feinstein et. al.) that wanted to ban violent video games. These people would be certainly cancelled in today's world, wouldn't hold a chance. Because, how dare you allow violence in video games to ...children!?

Our civilization depends on allowing wacko's do their thing as far as it is within limits of the law. Let them be offensive as fuck. These are the people that herald and propel society forward by their heterodox thinking. Society is going to decay fast, it already is.
I’ve run into this on the older ASUS model PB278Q. It’s otherwise a decent monitor, if a bit slow to turn on and switch sources by modern standards, but once in a while it’ll refuse to display anything and I’ll have to unplug it from power for a few seconds to “hard reset” it.

It's not a story for Eth and web3 communities because it isn't actually an issue. It's mostly a story for people who don't understand web3 and think it's an issue. In fact, really, it's a good thing for people to see how unreliable and rent-seeking web2 can be
iOS lacks many features that have been standard on Android for years and the only reason it feels so smooth is because the UI thread has pretty much the highest QoL that anything can ever have. iOS would rather drop your network call than drop a single frame.

Android variants all have things that iOS can only dream of having in five years (notifications was a fun one), just spread very unevenly throughout manufacturers. Samsung currently has a very good Android build.

Calling it the best is very far fetched.
Private wells draw from the same aquifer(s) as every other non-surface water source. They are public, not private resources.
If only they could so something about the truly terrible window switching crap, where you'll have to hit the same icon in your doc multiple times to eventually with a bit of luck get to the window you wanted.

I tried it for some basic 3d opengl stuff.
I like it but the documentation is lacking and the standard library is all over the place.
Also there is only one real big project using it afaik (EmberGen), not enough to bother switching from C/C++.

But i'm interested to see how the project will continue. :)

Yet most Python code is written in the compact form I've showed you, where code indentation is significant. Lisp has the same model: the code indentation is significant. But Lisp has the structure encoded in nested lists. These nested lists are automatically formatted in the same space saving way as Python code. Due to the significant indentation, Python usually can avoid to have grouping characters/symbols.

I see also lots of Python code where data isn't written like you claim...

What would happen if Twitter was a peer-to-peer FLOSS network? In our current world Twitter is a centralised product backed by a large company, but very little of its user-facing functionality could change and that would no longer be true. Such hypothetical P2P network would definitely have some kind of filtering, but it would likely not be network-wide and might not even be backed by a central entity (think more email anti-spam than moderation).
Just like the macroeconomists!
It'll be interesting to see what happens when a copyright troll ( https://doctorow.medium.com/a-bug-in-early-creative-commons-... ) realizes that they can acquire the rights to models distributed under these vague-as-fog moral panic licenses, or distribute their own and have people actually use them, and start extracting rents.

These licenses will do little to nothing to stop abuse: The abusers will already conceal their identities because their actions are immoral or even illegal (fraud, harassment, etc). But they create a whole host of new liabilities for the users because the definitions are exceedingly subjective.

It's tremendously important to make these tools actually open. But open with a lurking liability bomb stops short of the goal. While stability.ai may never turn into a troll or sell their rights to one, that isn't necessarily true for the next model that comes around.
Yep that’s exactly how it works. Not all ISPs actively intercept and reply to your queries, but the rest still monitor all port 53 traffic and log your queries.

Naturally, a lot of HNers hate encrypted DoH which solves both the active MITM and passive monitoring problems. Example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25344358
Sounds like a good opportunity to oil up Chesterton’s fence. You may want to consider the possibility that the conventions Lispers have been using for considerably longer than C or whatever language you like to bikeshed style guides in has existed were actually settled on for pragmatic reasons.

You’re not alone though. Many nascent Lispers go through the use reader macros to make Lisp look more like what they’re used to phase.
In the past the court hasn't specified how to block sites so they're usually blocked at dns level, just point the DNS record at one of the isp's ip addresses with a block message

If they really are having to block actual ips I would be surprised

At my current rate of playing, I'll still have a list longer than my arm filled just with AAA-level PC-games from 2000-2015. Currently playing through Quantum Break, which I managed to completely miss on release.

I chose the word "smother" deliberately, though maybe "blur" would be better. There's quite a bit of debate as to how the pitch of a note with vibrato is perceived. It definitely isn't right in the middle which might be the naive hypothesis.

Not if you're trying to avoid Amazon for moral boycott reasons (as the OP was). In that case, people are willing to knowingly pay an additional fee to avoid Amazon, but that money is just being pocketed and the rest of the money is being turned over to Amazon on their behalf.
I am not developing on Apple platforms, but just like any reactive UI framework, i am almost certain the documentation of SwiftUI starts with a massive red flag that says "make your updates granular and don't repost a whole ass struct on every frame" at the very beginning which is exactly what the author seems to be doing.

If all you want is a declarative UI, just dump in ImGui and be done with it.
Whats wasm32 (vs just normal wasm)?
But you were right in the first comment!

At the moment people do things "for living", in those usual bureaucratic institutions that all institutions become sooner or later, there are initiatives at power that work against the initial idea behind that institution.

That's why progress in science occurs at best "one funeral at a time", but usually not before a whole generation bites the dust.

This plus bureaucracy seem to almost killed larger parts of science by now.

We have collusion rings milking the system. We have broad pure esoteric nonsense "science" circles. We have more and more utter garbage and scam. And we have holy churches that will send the inquisition on you if you dare to disagree.

I don't know how to fix that. But I guess the initiatives, and especially the cash flows would need some re-engineering. But how concretely, I have no clue. Throwing away everything you have is of course almost never a good idea. But some things need to change. Change in a radical way, I guess.
…and after that can opener bends on first use, I can take it straight to the same Walmart and get a replacement or refund. No wait, no mailing stuff back and forth. This is on top of the immediate gratification (for lack of a better term when it comes to can openers) of getting the opener immediately in the first place, as should I ever find myself in need of a new can opener, it will almost certainly be because my current one broke or got lost and I have a can I need to open right now.

I don't find buying stuff online instead of in person nearly as attractive a proposition as I used to. Whether that's just because of the negative experiences or just because of priority rebalancing after growing older, I have no way of knowing, but whenever I need to buy something I almost always look for it at several local stores first, either in-person or via the "pick up in store" option on their sites.
MFC? As somebody who has worked with MFC in some way or another for the past 25 years, there are worse examples out there. The beauty of MFC was that it was pretty simple layer on top of Win32 and the source code was provided. You can continue to use it with some of their newest stuff using XAML Islands.
Portability and the fact I can just turn it off and my current game will pause where I left off immediately.

Then I can continue just by tapping the power button.
I've worked on mice before and frankly I have no clue what sort of technical requirement would lead to an upside down charging requirement and disabling the functionality in the meantime. Can you explain what that reason might be?

Also if most people can't just pick up the mouse and use it, it's a broken design. In my particular case, it's so much smaller than my palm that I'm sure any grip would result in RSI.
Aye, urea is what's in the "instant ice packs" now.

It used to be ammonium nitrate, but most brands switched it to urea a few years ago - presumably for reasons of "people could use the extremely nice, uncoated, very pure ammonium nitrate for nefarious purposes" (useful for explosives and methamphetamine manufacturing!)

I managed to create the same effect by playing a video which displayed white and black frames in sequence, without a pre-existing monitor defect: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CIzZv5al2E

I find it very immoral too, it's like the islamist trying to prevent the prophet pictures drawn. Not that I want to offend muslims or make "harmful" content but this notion that specific type of content creation needs to be imposed is very very problematic. Americans freak out of nudity all the time, something that is not considered harmful in many other places. The fear of images and text and the mission to restrain it is pathetic.

Anyway, it won't be possible to contain it. Better spend the effort on how to deal with bad actors instead of trying to restrain the use of content creation tools.
> Apparently a dangling bag of coins can cause similar issues

A dangling bag of coins is a famous cheap EMC test for products. All of this sounds like monitor vendors cheaped out on their EMC and need to have their ESD and Immunity certifications reevaluated....

Or maybe it's just the fact that they were dumb enough to ship an I²C interface over a cable as part of the industry spec. Never ship I²C off-board or this kind of crap happens.
Making a Oil Dispenser for a Drill Press
Sadly, I'm not convinced that there is much more than the straw man, honestly. Folks are predisposed to think it is a hard to read language. And this is on large because everyone says so.

Similarly, python. Is only a readable language because the community insists it is.
I dub it Induced Uncanny Valley Syndrome.
I quite like SwiftUI most of the time, and have got past most of hurdles, such as integrating state with menubar views. But my biggest hangup is that it's used for 3 different platforms with 3 different sets of variation, and most tutorials focus on iOS

This happens to me all the time, and it's a small; annoyance that's slowly crept up to a frustration now. It also happens that one screen entirely won't 'receive signal' after sleep until I turn unplug/replug the lightning cable
Simply direct all outbound DNS traffic to your own DNS server. You could do the same for your LAN by adding a port forward rule in your router (for LAN, not for WAN like you usually would to get incoming traffic around NAT)
When I've walked around a new city for a good twelve hours taking in the views, sights and culture, I really like to just zone out at the hotel and not interact with anyone.

...and my whole family is the same :) We just grab some snacks and a light snack from a shop and hole up in different corners of the hotel room to just relax and unwind.
The difference is mostly quantitative. In USSR you could buy a car if you were willing to pay over MSRP (which was mandatory rather than recommended). Simply buy a new car used. Reselling your car immediately after purchase for a profit was a thing.

Some people (occupations such as arctic coal miner) had financial means to do so easily. Other people (notably, engineers on non-management positions like most of HN readers today) would never realistically afford one.

The choice was indeed very limited. But again, it is mostly a quantitative difference.
I'm pretty sure Mexico's water rights from the Colorado are protected by treaty. Sure, we could break the treaty - just like the state of Colorado could decide to keep all of their snow melt to themselves.

But it's probably better to acknowledge that our actions (like building a dam and diverting a river for local use) can severely affect other people. Or to reduce frivolous water use in a desert.
I use jq and jless and find that to be more practical than tools like these (not just because of being available in terminal).

When I have large blob of json, I am usually interested in first getting a high level idea of how it is structured (first few levels) then I either need to drill down or filter to find what I need. The combination of jless for interactive exploration and jq to make it easily scriptable/repeatable is quite nice.

I find it natural to reduce the json I start with to a subtree I can make sense of, and thus don't find myself lacking a tool which can provide a visual representation of the complete dataset.
