You said infinitely! I never used sustainability that way. Nuclear is not sustainable because there isn't enough uranium available to extract, certainly not in an environmentally friendly way, in order to meet an expanded demand for more than a few decades https://youtu.be/0kahih8RT1k?t=365

There is, however, more than enough minerals available to make machines that, once built, will continue to produce and store emission free power for their lifetimes. They are being increasingly made out of recyclable materials and there is other research into lowering their footprint further. In other words, actually sustainable - as in for thousands of years. Renewables aren't there yet, but they will be sooner if a fraction of the cost of new nuclear plants is diverted to the very promising R&D that already exists.

Nuclear doesn't have nearly the same interest or rate of advancement into mitigating the serious environmental problems associated with producing and disposing of fuel, something your sources don't consider at all.

You write like you've just discovered the life cycle 'true cost' of renewables while holding the unrevealed wisdom that nuclear isn't that dangerous. These things are obvious to anyone who follows this, people who would never make the mistake of calling nuclear sustainable.

And I used to be a proponent of nuclear until around 6 months ago when I learned that there aren't enough resources available, and that nuclear won't be able to ramp up in time to lower the atmospheric carbon level increased by fossil fuelled power plants. It's the opposite of dogmatism to be able to follow where the data takes you.

I mean almost by definition isn’t every exit from a state node a conditional logic test?

If [something], take path A. If [the other thing], take path B. You (the machine) must always decide, given some condition.

This applies even if there’s a default path. You only take the default if one of the non-default paths didn’t match (or if it’s the only path).

So I don’t think that’s what the author really meant here. They implied conditionals that don’t transition you to another state. Because in that scenario, you might still need to consider that past conditional. Its values might still bite you.

Whereas in the tranquility of state machine land, you can now disregard any* decisions that you’ve already made.

*Obviously you might have stored state to consider, but y’know.
Wren seems pretty elegant, but it makes the same mistake a lot of languages do when it comes to operator overloading. If you put the binary operator as a method on the first object, then there isn't a simple way to have "builtin_object <operator> your_object".

For instance, Wren doesn't provide complex numbers, so you aren't going to get a nice syntax for "1/z" or similar. I could make similar examples with scalar multiplication for vectors, matrices, or Numpy-style arrays, etc...

Python and other languages have fallbacks to work around this, but Wren does not. And really, I think of binary operators as 2 argument functions, not methods on the left object.
People have successfully installed Windows 11 on the Deck and played games through it.

I've still got a good two dozen "Deck Verified" top-tier games to play through before I even think about it. And even then I'll rather go with a launcher that supports my Epic and GoG game libraries before resorting to Windows.
At least in this case, it sounds like you buy it upfront.

On an Amazon search results or category page, look in the options in the left column for a "Seller" section, and select "Amazon Warehouse."

That option is actually not always available for some reason (maybe if all of the options on the current page will be shipped from Amazon anyway)… but I always check it when it is and I don't want any shady sellers to be included.
If we're starting from the assumption that the government is posting false tweets that it'll use as excuses to kidnap and torture people, then I don't see what effect removing those tweets would have. A person under a real threat of violence needs real, physical protection. Anything that can be done over the Internet is insufficient.
My impression was most use DuckDuckGo for privacy reasons so it's a bit surprising to read Yandex is supposed to be what people think DuckDuckGo is. Also DuckDuckGo sources from far more than just Bing and it does have its own crawler as well.

My understanding of Yandex was that it's just another user-information-is-primary-income search provider this time HQ'd in Russia, neither of which exactly appealing to the typical DDG crowd.

Most have suggested apps. I was also hoping for something that can be programmatically tailored.
Sure, QMK files are here.

https://github.com/tss101/clarityqmkkeymap

It's in a bit of a rough state (one folder is for a OLED + RGB Corne r2g, and another is a currently messy adaptation for a Ferris Sweep)

The keymap itself is pretty straightforward. As rgoulter guessed it's just a modification of Miryoku (https://github.com/manna-harbour/miryoku), with some tweaks I made to keep functionally similar layers "together". E.g. the mouse key and navigation key layers are mirror images of each other. And there's a numpad layer, with nested symbols and function key layers that stack from the initial numpad layer. I also designed it to share the load between both hands as much as possible.
That last sentence blew my mind.
Really strange perspective. Sure it’d be nice if everyone understood those things. But to think they’re absolutely necessary for any application level programming is… odd.
In my experience working with IMGUI-style libraries, it's definitely feasible to perform full layout and rendering for complex UI in 1-2ms at most. For simpler applications it should be basically free. It's depressing that people are willing to accept complex, slow layout APIs at this point considering it's been possible for stuff to be fast for a long time.

Perhaps surprisingly, the most expensive part is usually text layout and rendering - text shaping is just really expensive and in the industry standard libraries it can take a long time to lay out a string, so you have to aggressively cache and do fancy things to get good performance. ASCII text is fast, though.
They have been asking the same question about ME/CFS for decades. Either Herpes or Epstein Barr Virus, both of which often get reactivated after certain infections.

Pieter Levels says that he's tried something like 70+ ideas to make money and only 3 of them have really made some money, and only one have done it substantially.

So his conclusion is that you need to get good at trying new things / shoot goals, because it DOES come down to "I have no idea what will stick". But the more shots you shoot, the more likely.

But also— most of us are in software, and every product we build (including Segment) has compounding effects towards the next thing we build. The frameworks we use or build can inform our next thing. The account flows. The databases and CI/CD we get used to. For every thing we try, we get a little better at the next thing.

I've found that "launching ideas" from a napkin sketch to working prototype has become significantly easier. Used to take me a month+ to launch a crud idea/prototype; now it takes me a weekend.

So the limiting factor for me isn't building/launching anymore... it's customer discovery and sales.

It matters what your security settings for URL display are. There are attacks related to the URL bar (of course), so you can set Firefox to only display the raw urlencoded URL, or display emojis/non-ASCII characters visually.

To be frank, I'm a regular GIMP user and have only dabbled in Photoshop. However, I empathize with daily drivers of the software.

To address you're question: elements of both.

As a paid service, Photoshop can afford to have developer research users and improve UX. GIMP, as an open source project, is subject to the (often well-placed) whims of its developers, which does not have the same profit motive to keep users as Photoshop.

This in of itself does not guarantee less cognitive load. But certainly it is easier for a GIMP user to adopt Photoshop than it does for a Photoshop user to adopt GIMP.

Further, we could argue the status quo is as it is because GIMP is less productive than Photoshop by at least whatever Photoshop charges per month (and possibly more).

LA has a voluntary version of this, Project Roomkey, which launched during COVID. It is still ongoing, but almost all of the hotels participating have withdrawn from the program.

Every participating hotel reported substantially above-average damage to hotel property (meaning, above the normal damage caused by non-homeless hotel guests), most participating hotels reported bed bug infestations that cost tens of thousands to eliminate. That doesn't include the dozens of suicides, murders, and rapes that took place at participating hotels.

TLDR: it turns out that housing isn't actually the solution to homelessness, because for most of LA's homeless, homelessness is just a symptom of untreated mental illness or uncontrolled drug use.
The company name that runs the entire setup was until recently literally called Final Solutions LLC they aren’t subtle about any of this.

> information density (function) should always win out

No. Clarity should always win out.

Spacing serves the important purpose of creating an information hierarchy so it's intuitively visible at a glance how things group into larger things. The higher the level, the higher the spacing.

This is why there's more space between words than between letters, between lines than between words, and between paragraphs than between lines. And similarly how there's more UX whitespace between a list and the toolbar buttons above it than there is between list items, and then even more space than that between the main content area and left bar.

Seeing more stuff isn't useful if you can't tell at an intuitive glance which commit a line belongs to, because there's no extra separation between commits.

What does SLS add to the already existing panoply of launchers, other than revenues for those companies which stood to lose out on the retirement of the Space Shuttle?

What on Earth makes you think it's gone out of fashion? Pretty much all of the most widely-used languages have classes or analogues, if not full OOP.
Agreed. I think there is definitely a certain kind of person who attaches to the idea of academic monks (myself included). Especially the slower pace of life and limited pop culture influences. I remember a few years ago someone on the Anathem subreddit tried to live "cloistered" for a year- not totally isolated, but intentionally avoiding media throughout the year, then they listened to a few albums and watched the best regarded movies.

Originally made by Bob Nystrom [1] who now works on Dart, it is now maintained by ruby0x1 who is a game developer and most importantly creator of a game engine that uses Wren as a scripting language [2]. Unfortunately Luxe is still not publicly available (closed beta), which I admit is a bit of a frustration for me as I've been following development for a few years, but it does show a lot of promise and in the meantime I've become a happy user of Godot. I keep Wren in the back of my mind as an easy-to-embed scripting language in cases where you could integrate Lua (which Wren outspeeds) but not LuaJIT.

Ask HN: Do programmers avoid non-programming tasks where errors can be serious?
As a programmer, one is used to not worrying too much about bugs and fixing them later as they are found.

But with this mindset, do programmers then avoid non-programming activities where errors can be serious/fatal?
I'll try that. Last time I checked (not that long ago!) the instructions were to use pactl to create null + loopback, and parec to record and pipe to [whatever]. I'll check out pw-loopback!
My two complaints about floating headers / footers:

- they grow over time, so at first 90% of the vertical space is for content but later it becomes closer to 70% or worse.

- they hide the content that's underneath them, but hitting 'space' (or pgdn) still scrolls a screen's worth of content scrolls, say, 1000 vertical pixels even though you can only see 900-700 pixels' worth of content at a time. I'm forced to either scroll with a mouse wheel, trackpad, etc, or else pgdn and then up-arrow a couple times.

I don't know shit about fuck re: modern web design (I first learned from an ORielly book titled "Dynamic HTML / the definitive reference (2nd edition)"). iframes do the right thing where pgdn scrolls one iframe-height worth of content, but I guess you'd have to have your header/footer "contain" the content as an iframe, and that's weird?

How much Lisp have you written/read? Closing parens on separate lines would be a nightmare to read in any real-world code.

Also, what makes Lisp hard to read is lack of familiarity. It's not like C is easy to read for someone who's only ever written Lisp. Lispers don't find Lisp hard to read.

As someone who programs professionally in C but writes Odin as a hobby, Odin contributes more like 1000% ease of use, comparatively. And I bet that scales up even more on a team as compared to C.

I think the disconnect here is that I get the impression he wrote the entire first part just to justify writing his "SF with multiple humanoid species that all have 'hats' but there's a good reason for it" story which forms the second part.
