>No one needs to demonise a country that commits genocide and has its military rape children,

"Genocide" became a meaningless word because it's used willy-nilly similarly to "terrorism". Even if we are to trust number of civilian deaths reported by Western and Ukrainian sources it's really far from being "genocide". IIRC in relative terms, the US invasion of Iraq with subsequent fight against ISIS is closer to "genocide" than the invasion of Ukraine.

And as for "rape children", it's yet another blatant demonization. The lies became so toxic, Zelensky even had to fire Denisova, the person responsible for distributing most of such claims without properly supporting them with evidence. Most of "Russian soldiers rape children" articles you read in the Western media were citing Denisova.

>The goal of the shelling _is_ to disconnect the power plant

Oh wow... Are you incapable of critical thinking? Like at all? Russians can always physically cut wires in the territory they control.

If they wanted, they could've easily bombed every substation in Ukraine with its missiles. But because they do have some humanitarian considerations, they don't do it (unlike some other countries). As we can see, Russia has no techincal trouble bombing stationary objects as far as the westernmost Ukraine.
Being able to look things up, even in seconds, is not equivalent to knowing them. When someone suggests "let's do X", you cannot reply with "but that would cause Y", if Y is buried in some pdf file on your computer, or one Bing search away - how do you know you should search for Y, when there are infinite other things you could search for.
I agree with the “you are not FAANG” sentiment and I think HN could use the frequent reminder, but I’ve come around on Kubernetes. As soon as you have multiple services that need to talk to each other in multiple environments (staging, prod, etc), infrastructure-as-code is immensely useful. Kubernetes lets you do IAC without tying yourself to a particular cloud.

So it’s overkill for a CRUD app, but you certainly don’t need the scale of Google to find it useful.
Godot's system for exporting games/apps/projects as binaries is that the same codebase/build system that generates the editor binary (the Godot "tools") can be built with the "tools" parts omitted, and the resulting non-tools release binary is bundled up with your project scripts/resources as the binary API for your exported game.

The general philosophy for Godot's build/compilation system is that most things are just linked statically, and features and modules can be turned on and off via build flags, so that they can be as portable as possible - indeed it's usually pretty painless and quick to export a game to a binary from the editor on most platforms because of this.

With Mono there are 2 sticking points that make this a bit more difficult - first is that this non-tools binary has to bundle the Mono runtime with it to be portable, this adds a bunch of bloat, and Godot's style has always been to be as light as possible. For mobile apps for example, that extra ~40mb of stuff can be a real problem.

Additionally, the development machine has to have a fairly modern dotnet SDK installed (ideally .NET 6 SDK + dotnet cli these days) as well as the app host targeting packs in order for the mono-enabled editor binary to run at all (as it contains some CLR/native interop code and nuget packages for the editor tools to copy into your project, etc that fails without these things). So the export template (the non-tools godot API binary) with Mono can't be understood by the editor tools without Mono enabled.

Recently direct .NET 6 interop support has replaced the Mono integration in Godot 4, and this might in the future change the above - since it will be able to use the new AOT stuff to publish exported games in a more direct way. It's definitely a stated intention to eventually ship just one engine binary for everything, but it's still a way off happening yet, maybe in Godot 4.1 or 4.2.
yeah it was supposed to say literate programming. anyway there is no doubt that org-mode (and jupyter) is an application of literate programming concepts. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literate_programming#Literate_...
Ok, but it Czechia by and large you have Czech people paying for the welfare of other Czech people. On the other hand in the US, you would have mostly white and asian people paying for the welfare of mostly blacks and latinos. No wonder they don't want such a system. Like it or not, solidarity needs kinship, especially when it's your money on the line.
The electricity you don't spend is electricity you don't need to produce. We don't really need electricity, we need to do useful stuff with it. Doing laundry with electricity is useful, as is having a computer network. Are massive glowing screens in the middle of the night useful? That would be a very long discussion, but I say no because any local usefulness is outweighed by their negative impact overall.

Saving electricity is just as useful as adding new capacity, and it's faster, cheaper and easier. As a comparison, the US spends about twice as much electricity as Germany per capita [1].

I'm fairly confident that 100 days is less than decades.

Please avoid ad hominem arguments like this. They are unlikely to convince anyone, and on a topic as sensitive as this might be interpreted as personal attacks.

If you are out of the loop. Musk raised Mudge in a hearing on discovery disputes Vs Twitter. Team Musk even wrote a strange follow-up letter to the judge, making sure that she had heard them enter Mudge into the dispute.

Judge ruled in favour of Twitter on all points (bar 1 small concession - they shall produce data on 9,000 accounts used for mDAU, not the 200M accounts Musk wanted). And, unless I'm mistaken, judge doesn't mention Mudge at all in the three rulings. If I had to guess, I would say the judge is being kind to Musk. Since the only thing in the Mudge document that is relevant to the case supports twitter's position. https://mobile.twitter.com/AnnMLipton/status/156202545908431...

You’re arguing from a false premise. The Race to DNA link is weak. You get correlation easy enough, but the only time genes are race specific is when they only show up in a single family or similar tiny fraction of a population.

This shouldn’t be surprising when people for example categorize someone with 3 white grandparents and 1 black grandparent as black.
It is not possible if you, well your wife, breastfeeding at night. Small babies usually don't sleep whole night without eating. I know a lot mothers that said they will never keep baby in their bed. Week after born, most of them find out, that it is much more comfortable to keep baby at bed and stay there for whole night.

A lot of people there say that sleeping is ruined. Maybe just a small change in habits helps.

I wish to have a sort of programmatic stack API. But, the constraint of using HTML makes these things messy. The stack is implicit by nesting dialogs, and dialogs can be modeles, but is not a proper API for pop ups. (the article points to a pop up proposal, but my expectations are low)
FTA: “When ETH ZÃ¼rich started its own computer science program in the 60s, buying computers from the US turned out to be a bit of an issue.

I guess they started buying computers from the US :-)

> Oberon is very much in active use at ETH Zürich. We used it as one of our main operating systems.

I wonder if any blind students, or other disabled people who need accessibility tools, had to confront the general lack of accessibility in simple, niche GUI systems such as this one. I suppose someone could have been given the assignment to extend Oberon with a screen reader or other accessibility tool, ideally without having to implement their own speech synthesizer first.
Also important is what they did not do. I don't believe Hoboken has significantly increased enforcement of certain things, or at least not made it a large part of this plan. I feel like this is important because it shows where the focus is.

I just looked at the plugshare map of the city I'm at currently. It show 101 stations up to 60 minutes pure drive distance. Also that's all kinds of chargers, private hotel spots, small two post stations, big stations.

Lets charitably assume that ALL of them are inside the city and that ALL of them are fast 10 post stations. So that's a capacity for about a thousand EV cars. That's in 1 million population city. I guess that's not enough at all.

PS: and what do you do for several hours while your car charges at the station? Walk in circles around the small overprices station shop? Drink coffee?

Because she used her peerage to push similar laws in the UK as an unelected member of the Lords - the Online Safety Bill and Age Appropriate Design Code were both significantly pushed through and amended by her as an unelected peer, and she used her position on the Bill Committee for the Online Safety Bill to prevent witnesses who might have criticised the problems caused by age verification from appearing.

Her peerage is directly relevant to this legislation.
I find RackNerd suits me just well. They are a great provider. I found them on Low End Boxes. I pay $25 a year. The only thing I ran into was the IP that was assigned was in one blacklist.

What's interesting is that even among cultures that eat very spicy food, some absolutely cannot tolerate it. I have a friend from Chengdu and some friends in Malaysia who cannot eat anything spicy. It makes it hard for them to eat food outside and they've had to learn by trial and error the restaurants that can actually limit the amount of spiciness.
I always thought that the endorphin high is unrelated to the beneficial effect: any strong pain is normally followed by a release of endorphins to compensate. It's why pain and pleasure are often difficult to disentangle. A strong dose of capsaicin will induce a painful sensation in the mouth (you'll feel like burning), which is compensated by a release of endorphins.
Not only have I heard of Oberon, I've written code for it!

The Oberon programming language is a nicer-than-average descendant of Pascal and Modula-2. The compiler was reasonably fast even in the 90s.

The UI was strange enough to feel really interesting. As the article mentions, you could type a command anywhere and click it. And the older version I used had tiling windows, although this seems to have changed.

But one especially neat feature is that the system was based around a rich-text format that you could extend! I wrote a little clock widget that I could instantiate anywhere, inside any rich text, and it would give me a live time readout.

In practice, Oberon already felt like a toy system when I used it, because it was missing tons of useful software. But as toy systems went, it was rich and original and well-worth a couple of weekends of exploring and coding.

If you enjoy the idea of operating systems that explored a different path, this is one of the more interesting ones. If you're fascinated by systems like the Lisp Machine, or SmallTalk, or OLPC, where the entire system is meant to be easily understandable and hackable, take a look.

I don't know what you mean. Raw chillis are commonly served in this area (Eastern Europe) together with soups, just like raw onions, for example.

However, I've never seen anyone eat a raw beetroot. And of course, people don't put tomatoes in fruit salads, as the old saying goes - different fruit are eaten in different ways.
The problem is boundless complexity. Learning resources won’t help anyone to learn and manage boundless complexity.
There is a service interval that will (depending on where you are) mean you should do probably at least 5 services before 100'000km. True, most of those services will be mere inspections because there is simply nothing to service, but there will be a service schedule that has lots of items in it before 100k km. There are cabin air filter, maybe gear fluid (depending on model) and so on. For a new car, I'd do them just to ensure there is no fuss with warranties.

So in short: service intervals for EV's don't seem longer than for ICE cars at all. They are pretty typical car service intervals of 10k-15k km BUT the key is they should be cheaper.
Tell HN: Firefox on Android Clear data on exit doesn't delete site data
As the title say, I have noticed some time ago that using Firefox on android, when I enter text on google site, past searches are been suggested. It wasn't the case in the past and it got me wondering, tested the same using other mobile browsers and none had the same behavior. So it isn't like Google's showing off that they identify you and your device without cookies, but rather Firefox issue. Found today an open github issue from two months ago, using colorful language, but there's no progress. Personally, a privacy breech from Firefox always hurts more, this one is a blocker for me and I will not be able to continue using Firefox on my mobile until it is fixed.

> if you were an editor and received a manuscript which was perfectly fine up until the last line which said "and as well all know, homosexuals are weak-willed sissies", would you still go ahead and publish

No, because "weak-willed sissies" is subjective, informal, and indicative of an emotional value judgment in that context.

But suppose there were no sensationalism, and the paper instead showed a higher rate of suicidal ideation among trans people. Would that be publishable under the new guidelines?

Opponents of the research might argue no, because it suggests trans people to be weak and self-pitying.

Proponents might argue yes, because it reveals the oppression of a marginalized group and a societal duty to support them.

That's the trouble with conflating "what is" and "what should we do about it" or even "what should we think about it."
This. A former co-worker loved chili. He also loved psychedelic mushrooms and other drugs, and he pondered if there was some kind of connection there, that perhaps it was the case that chili gave him a way to experience a similar kind of thrill in a safer, more controlled way.
