> A4 vs US letter

I (European) spent some time in the US in the past and, while I understand why many people prefer A4, I found one major advantage of the US letter format: It is, like so many things in America, bigger.

Very useful if you have to write down equations!
This is really misreading the whole concept of patterns in both architecture and software. The goal is not to somehow equate or even link the two disciplines. Instead it is to note that when you go about arranging stuff to do stuff (e.g materials to be buildings, or programming languages to be programs), it is likely that there will (over time) emerge ways of doing things (patterns) that you can (and likely should) use over and over again.

It's not architecture-envy, it's finding a parallel from a different discipline that applies to your own.
Ya lost me half way, but sounds like you’re describing HRV
I'm always amazed by the lack of tech saviness in a lot of "traditional" industries.
She left the company shortly thereafter...I assume when her viewpoints became known, probably couldn't keep her mouth shut after the "outrage" of not providing service to daily stormer.

It would be silly to say there are definitely no Nazis in a company above a certain size. It's easy to fire them as soon as you know about them, but a lot of shitheads know to fly under the radar, so you can't really proactively hunt them out.
Could this be done using DriverKit
Yes. I also think it works great including the lane change warnings. It is maddening that there is no way to prevent the radio from turning on every time the car does, though.
We played this a lot with my babysitter growing up. It's fun for kids, and the graphic design on the older editions is so slick and jet set era. But I'm a little weirded out by this, because I've heard about Mille Bornes twice in the last week, and not a single time in the 30 years prior to it.
Maybe, if they don't want me as a customer anymore. I almost exclusively use their service via plexamp, and I'm sure they know that.

IMO it's in all but the largest streaming service' best interest to allow more ways for customers to access their service. It's their best chance at disruption. I don't see tidal cutting off plex until tidal feels dominant, or the plex userbase is too small. As long as Spotify and Apple are competitors, I don't see them feeling that level of dominance, but the number of people using plex tidal integration probably isn't huge...which is why I'm mentioning it in this thread!

Shouldn't it fit completely in L1 (or at worst, L2)? You need roughly 146,100 bytes: 120 years * 365.25 days/year * 4 bytes/day (uint32 as an accumulator) = 175,320 kb.

MacBooks have something like 192 kb shared + 128 kb/core, so that should be okay if not much else is going on....
Sendgrid seems to be used as the infrastructure to send emails from a lot of the email service providers I use. They are not spam companies and react to customers who get marked as spam by suspending accounts and doing reviews.

I'm going to guess Sendgrid themselves also look for high ratios of spam reports and do the same.

Great, my line is people like you. Please disconnect from the internet.

Quibble with the numbers all you want, but there is a fundamental truth in this visible to anyone who grew up in the third world amidst poverty.

One of the biggest (hidden) revolution in healthcare for poor rural Indian women is availability of LPG cylinders to replace fossil fuels - wood and cow dung - for cooking. Fossil fuels cause lung deaths [1] due to indoor pollution. The green agenda cuts against it.

The biggest enabler to education is electrification. I vividly remember growing up 20 years ago that only the middle class with electrification could afford to compete in schools as you needed to power light bulbs to study at night. No electrification and reliable supply then you cannot study. The situation is worse in villages with no electrification. Forget computers and internet, this is just about having enough to power a 40 W equivalent light bulb to read a book.

Many times, the agenda of the liberal west seems like class warfare against the poor of the third world: "we will not give up our heated/cooled mansions and our SUVs and our extravagant vacations across the globe but will make energy so expensive that you are crowded out of the market". A British business can afford a 20-50% power bill hike or even go out of business, a third world poor citizen is pushed over the edge into grinding poverty.

Oh, I see. Scribble looks a little like TeX, but actually it’s an alternate read syntax/dsl. The first example where they show off the real utility of it is:

@tabular[#:sep @hspace[1]
(list (list @bold{Animal} @bold{Food})
(list "mouse" "cookie")
(list "moose" "muffin"))]

which really drops it in your lap. “tabular” isn’t from some fixed list of keywords, it is an ordinary racket function that you can call, with ordinary arguments that can be strings, lists, etc. Presumably there will be an example in the next page or two with @define[…] in it to close the loop.

And the table of contents promises literate programming as well. Someone was really thinking when they put this together; I really like it.

The documentation generated for individual functions (such as <https://docs.racket-lang.org/scribble/base.html#(def._((lib....>) is fairly nice as well. Readable, linked together by hyperlinks on the type predicates as well as hyperlinks in the body of the documentation itself; it’s pretty good. Rustdoc puts links to the source code for each one though, and I would soon miss that.

> reducing CO2 emissions is an emergency, and any other environmental considerations other than doing that is just arguing about deck chairs on the Titanic

I don't think that latter sentence follows from the first at all - it's very much a slow emergency that will play out over decades and indeed centuries, and furthermore with a global population of 8+ billion, clearly it's not feasible for all of us to drop everything just to focus on any one single environmental issue.
There are inevitably going to some actions that need to be taken to ensure long term ecological health that aren't related to mitigating against climate change, but are just as important, esp. wrt release of toxins/agricultural runoff into the environment, or drawing down water tables or monitoring invasive species (a problem already, but often exacerbated by warming temperatures). Thankfully we can walk and chew gum at the same time.
(FWIW I agree re the anti- nuclear stance of environment groups - and would do so regardless of the need for low-emission power: nuclear energy production generally has a much lower environmental footprint than fossil fuel generation)

> The statement "P doesn't Q people, people Q people" is absolutely devoid of any useful information or novel insight, and doesn't take the conversation in a new direction that is useful. In fact, it can kick the conversation into an anti-productive quagmire.

Are you presuming everyone reading and responding to this thread are on your level of interpretation or analytical superiority? This is the first time reading about "P doesn't Q people, people Q people" on HN and I imagine won't be the last. There is no "In fact," here and it already rubbed off as a completely pretentious statement, which given the circumstances is not unusual in a place like this.

Amusingly this results in '8' and 'H' having the same checksum, which is a bit problematic because they sound similar over the phone.
My mother kept the first utility bill of the year for electricity, natural gas, water and sewer, etc. She lived in the same house for 42 years and liked to be able to see how much the amounts had changed over the years.

I’m not sure it was tremendously useful but she could verify her feeling that water and sewer increased disproportionately to the others, for example.

Cold air likes to go down. When you open a fridge door, the cold air pours out at the bottom. When you open a chest, it stays in the chest.

Also, a freezer probably has better insulation than a fridge to begin with, since it's designed to hold bigger temperature differential.

This is great! I hope that this project enables those many FUSE-related applications to return to Homebrew since an open-source FUSE provider is now available again.

I am curious though why a NFSv4 server was chosen over wrapping Apple's File Provider API [1], which seems to be the native method for providing virtual file systems from user space on macOS since macOS 11.5. After glancing over the API I guess it's because FPEs are too high-level to implement FUSE properly, but I'd be glad if you can share any details to satisfy my curiosity.

EDIT: Errata, I assumed it was open-source, but it is not. Too bad :( -- but at least this will eventually provide a more stable FUSE experience on macOS.
Archive.ph is not really pirated content if you consider archival of publicly available information not as pirating.

Honestly, is it their goal? Admittedly, I'm not an expert in Kiwifarms, however, I understand they've taken a dislike to many people for various reasons, not just LGBT folk.
See danShumway's comment that puts it better than me:

Concentrated power in the path of speech or commerce is dangerous, whether it's governmental or private.

Many parties deciding independently whether to "entertain my nonsense" is good. One critical party in the path (governmental or commercial) is bad.
The reality is that politicians and large businesses always want to centralize everyone around their single core to control the market/services etc, whether 'left' or 'right', and their propaganda/pr is always subtly pushing problem/reaction/solution to further those goals...

The panopticon controls enabled by AI & IoT can easily be used to meter/control energy (and separately water) to individuals. This is of huge concern around 'smart meters'
A template language that requires manually calling htmlspecialchars on every single value (or else you have an XSS vulnerability) seems like an enormous footgun. In Django this problem was corrected before the 1.0 release.
It's not idolization it's identification. Americans have a tendency to identify with what they like. You don't just like surfing, you're a surfer. This leads to odd statements like, "I drive a manual, but I'm not a manual driver or anything." After my fellow American identifies with something, then its obvious superiority comes next. It's a complex. See our current political environment for extreme examples.

Just going from my local experience. The build-nothing approach to housing in Berkeley, championed by zucchini-hugging (google it) hippie morons, combined with the solar access ordinance that prevents development even along major transit corridors. This has caused an explosion of car-dependent exurban sprawl in former wilderness, wetlands, and farms.
The generated Rust docs... are not very good. And on more complex types you have a ton of traits, with methods and all their lifetimes and generic parameters which are really hard to follow if you're unfamiliar with a library or Rust in general. Also, even the biggest libraries (clap for example) reserve a couple paragraphs for the front page prose and leave the type docs to speak for themselves... which is just not good enough.

I would go as far as to say that a non-negligible part of why people are intimidated by Rust is the rustdoc format and layout. Thankfully it makes up for it with an incredible Rust Book.

To me the gold standard of docs is Elixir followed by Racket. Even Go's docs are better than Rust, but that's mostly because of a much simpler type system, so simpler autogenerated docs for structs and their methods.
I don't understand how these various AI companies even try to filter NSFW content. The world contains NSFW, trying to avoid it by "filtering" is a effort not worth taking, the undertaking is huge and filled with pitfalls and false-positives.
That is often true, but isn't necessarily always true, and certainly not always true for every resource. Total electricity use in the US has been fairly flat for the past 20 years, and that's despite increasing in population by about 50million over the same period.

On the contrary, there is so much evidence of hominids, including humans, hunting and eating large game, that we name eras in prehistory after the tools constructed to aid this pursuit.

Wrong mode accidents don’t need to happen. My Prius has three modes for acceleration curves: Eco, Normal, and Power. If you push the pedal down all the way, you get full power in any mode.

Note: power mode does not increase power, it just waits longer to turn off the ICE in order to improve throttle response
I feel exactly the same way. We had a joke in my country 20 - 30 years ago which was something like "why are you using black-white [film], don't you have enough money for color?".
Ask HN: How is Google's voice-to-text so much worse than the competition?
My household interacts with multiple voice-activated devices and apps--Amazon Echo, Apple's Siri, Google Nest, Google Home Mini, YouTube Kids voice search, etc. In our experience, Google's devices and apps are FAR inferior at translating spoken word to text. The Echo, Siri, etc. just work most of the time, but Google is frequently way off the mark, requiring us to interrupt the device's incorrect response and restate commands with exaggerated enunciation.

Do others have similar experiences? If so, how is it that Google is so far behind in this technology given their massive resources?
That's a great point, and indeed happens at mega corps like Google.

That said Google still ships software for iOS and their web apps are made to work with non-Google browsers.

I guess the point is that software makers shouldn't strive to remove dependencies because some of them are there for pure interop reasons. Even Apple, which is capitalizing on every possible benefit of virtual integration, has large issues interfacing with the rest of the world, at the peril of their users. That's a business decision though, and suboptimal from an engineering perspective.

Normal supermarkets.

If you only buy milk in multiples of 500mL, you're buying a luxury brand or from a corner shop -- both situations use the slightly smaller (vs 568mL) size to make the price seem lower.

You can see at Tesco [1] that Yeo Valley, Arla, Cravendale, Finest, Tesco Filtered are all 1 or 2 litres. "Normal" milk is 2 or 4 pints.

(The EU used to have regulations around this sort of thing, but I think they've unfortunately been repealed for most products. It's why bread was only sold in multiples of 400g -- it meant the merchant couldn't discreetly reduce the size of some/all products.)

Aaronson's short response: https://scottaaronson.blog/?p=6670
The only time I find myself adding code comments is when something “looks odd,” if that makes sense. Something that looks like it might be a bug or inefficient but has a very specific reasoning for being that way. Otherwise I try my hardest to make code simple, use sane naming for variables/classes/functions, and just document the functions themselves with short doc strings. Type hinting in python3 has made this a lot easier for me as well.
I remember reading somewhere that the estimated efficiency gain of having 2 gears on the Taycan is 5%. On a typical 60kWh battery car, that's 3kWh... hardly worth the effort nor the cost.
On the Taycan it makes sense because top speed. For any "normal" EV where top speed is not a concern, it's probably not a choice that makes sense.

It is true that life situations (poverty, lack of parental assistance, safety and security, cultural roadblocks, etc.) are impediments to successful participation in school.

But is “access to education” a a demonstrable problem? Many states offer very low cost or free access to community college higher education.

We do have a better metric. It’s “years of life lost” (YLL) and it is a commonly used metric for the exact reasons you mentioned. My guess as to why you rarely see it being used outside of the scientific community is because “number of deaths” drives more clicks.

> Dense cities have the potential to be inhumane and not worth living in for various health (e.g. particulates, aerosols, nitrogen, disease)

Sure they have the potential for this, but only if we don’t take these problems into account and mitigate them. Take particulates for example (and noise, which you didn’t mention but is also an issue); a lot is from cars. If we assume that every city resident will have and frequently use a car, then sure that becomes an issue. But if we provide viable alternatives to driving and make them as or more convenient than driving, much less of an issue.
While not strictly code comments, we heavily encourage very thoughtful commit messages. We manage a complex large project, and being able to read back and really understand the motivations behind subtle changes through commit messages has saved the day many times.
