> I think what people resent isn't the fact that there are black elves, it's the forcing of it, and that everything is scrutinized at a microscopic level for alleged "racism" (e.g. [1])

Who exactly _forced_ Amazon to do this? That article is just another opinion on the internet. If this is the thought police I think Amazon's gonna be OK no matter how they cast the elves.

What's funny to me is the in-advance-defensiveness when people wanna complain about "woke" casting. Witness the ridiculous discussion about Pinocchio in this discussion driven by the anti-woke complainers, because nobody otherwise cares about a stupid Disney movie for kids. Getting offended at how Pinocchio is portrayed, and they call minorities sensitive LOL
Rain wouldn't be such a problem if we had dedicated biking infrastructure ala The Netherlands. We need to rethink the design of our cities to move away from this car-dependent box we've put ourselves in, because just adopting EVs isn't enough.
YavaScript?
Ah yes, the roof of my building where I'm on a middle floor. I'll start lobbying the board to install solar for just me to use.

The problem with a lot of this is that the more "responsible" you're already living, the less reasonable the next "responsible" thing is to do. Going solar/off grid is only really possible if you live on a lot of land where you're the only resident, which is otherwise generally not recommended. If you live in dense housing, you probably don't have solar, let alone a way to charge an EV. I park my current car 100-500 feet from the nearest outlet that I own. There's essentially no world I could buy an EV and not have to charge it for hours outside of my home.

The efficient future is here, but it's for the rich who did all the garbage NIMBY stuff that made it necessary for everyone else to have to live "efficiently" to make up for their gluttonous use of land/power over the past decades.
Yes. Almost unquestionably. I do think there is a cohort whose primary motivation is not money, but they have ceased to be the majority.

When google maps was in the minds eye, the people who did it were computer scientists. When map/reduce became the foundational form of coding in a large eventually consistent system, computer scientists were exploring ideas key to their domain of discourse.

Now, the hire engine is 150,000 people down the tube, looking for a coder who understands how to manage time, and meet goals but does that person need to be a computer scientist? I doubt it. Their motivation is different. Arguably, their motivation is .. irrelevant.

If a FAANG or near-FAANG specialises in security, then it seeks people who live and breathe security. They seek people motivated by problems in security. Once you capture someones interest, if there is no competing tension you COULD stay in the interest domain, but people know they can sublimate that interest and get paid large figures: they know their worth.

It's amazing how much fulfilment I get from riding around natural spaces on an electric unicycle (also works for bikes or whatever but that's what I use now), taking the occasional picture of things I find interesting. I sometimes wonder if it taps into hunter instincts and exercises normally unused parts of my subconscious brain.

The problem is brotli compression is pretty expensive/slow to encrypt. Which isn't really a problem for static content that can be compressed ahead of time. But doesn't work very well for just in time compression.
I wouldn't want to get caught taking the position that anything isn't art.

That kind of position gets you in trouble. I think of Roger Ebert and his absurd denial that video games are art. I'd get in trouble if I said "The Mona Lisa isn't art, it's just crap. Sheeple get on a plane to Paris, rush to the Louvre, see a little bit of the Mona Lisa not obscured by the flock, skip the other paintings, rush back to the airport and go home."

If somebody frames a print of the Stable Diffusion output and it gives them pleasure I can't take that away from them. If I owned a "Umberto Boccioni" painting that wasn't made by Umberto Boccioni, I'd feel like I'd been cheated, but I don't feel that a DALL-E 2 generated magazine cover is "not a magazine cover".

The kind of artist who sells works for $1,000,000+ frequently has a team of artists who do the actual work, just as Jim Davis hired out most of the work for the Garfield comic strip. A Terminator 2 that looks like artist could hardly be more corrupt than some in the art world, see

In the extremely contrived example where two calls come in back to back from locations that are 400 miles apart, the need to charge an EV in the middle of driving for 6 hours straight is going to be a pretty minor factor.
Very cool! I love it. Shared with my gaming group chat. Works perfectly on safari-ios too.

I don't know if data costs would be a concern with something like this, but I feel like the panorama images are fairly large. At least for a mobile user. You could follow a model like Google where you load a lower res panorama initially, and only load the high-res when zooming in. I looked at the github and the panorama library is Pannellum, which looks like it has a multiresolution format to do this. I've never used it but the docs make it seem simple.

Either way love it. I can't imagine it's very expensive but I wonder how much getting on the front page of HN costs in bandwidth.

Edit: looked deeper into the github and the images are hosted on imgbb. That's definitely the cheapest way to do it haha.

People don't always agree on what's better:

and sometimes the rationale for things isn't obvious at all, and even counter-intuitive.
Pretty much correct. You will need to show either sufficient money in the bank or from external sources (pension, retirement funds, income derived from another country), or arrange a job. Generally if you can land a job with a foreign employer they get a work permit/work visa for you. You can’t just show up and start looking for a job. How expensive and difficult this can get depends on the destination country, your citizenship, your assets and income, and sometimes your education and skills. Some visas have age requirements, either 55+ (or older) for retirement, or much younger for student or skilled worker.

The other common path is marrying a foreign national.

The USA has these same rules. When someone comes into the US on a tourist or student visa, or no visa, then tries to get a job, or works under the table, they are breaking the law and can get jailed and deported if caught.

The idea that quiet quitting is about doing the work you’re paid for is the misnomer.

Quiet quitting is about people who are doing below the bare minimum they’re supposed to do. Either because they knew they wouldn’t get fired during the labor crunch a few months ago, or because they were working multiple jobs and once again through they could get away with it.

The problem is that the “quiet quitters” who were interviewed for these articles didn’t present themselves in that way for obvious reasons. Instead they presented themselves as people who were just doing what they were required and not more.

Which describes 70-80% of the workforce for decades.
What do I do? I got rid of Spamassassin after being challenged by someone on HN or Reddit, can't recall which. Spamassassin is pretty effective but was consuming too much of my time.

So I stopped. I analyzed mail for a few weeks to look for patterns in the wild with my server. I came to the conclusion to block all but the top level TLD's. That decision yielded very positive results.

I then wrote a simple SPAM blocking server to allow me to block habitual or suspicious TLD SPAM sending domains, as well as a few custom checks for common sense things.

As a result of those two decisions, I am now at or better at blocking SPAM than I was with Spamassassin and 2 other related tools I just remembered I also stopped using, spamass-milter and postgrey.
> Everything looking the same with zero indication of what does what is the USB-C issue. The answer here might be “your phone doesn’t have that capability”, but the fact that you have to dive into the data sheets of everything involved including all of the cabling just to figure out what the hell the outcome is supposed to be versus the observed outcome is all completely absurd.

That has always been the case - when phones had random 25 pin connectors some of them supported video out, some of them didn't, some of them let you connect and sync with your PC and some of them didn't. You couldn't tell by looking at them.

Some potential see here I. A few ideas. Add drum sounds. Make it a circle: distance from center will be the pitch, and an arrow moving clockwise will be the time. Allow to draw lines: when such a line crosses a pitch circumference, it will make a sound. Line color will be instrument type. The time arrow will keep revolving around the center, playing the pattern over and over. You'll basically draw music this way.

Someone from Asia who is pretty good at their work can get a fully international remote job that pays north of 100K USD? Is this practically possible or is it super difficult like say getting into MIT or CMU. I'm asking because this seems farfetched and I have no idea how these things actually do play out in the real world.
> be very careful about betting against incumbent tech

Can you elaborate on why you think 'incumbent tech' has anything to do with Amyris stock price?

Here's what I see just briefly looking at some numbers and slide decks:

Amyris has OK revenue growth and gross margin, but wow do they burn a lot of cash. They took on massive convertible debt back in Nov 2021, are continuing to do M&A, and in most recent earnings report are blaming horrible EBIDTA performance on 'higher freight and logistics and increased SG&A, mostly marketing investments'...

1. Revenue growth
2. Product innovation
3. Management

I think a lot of investors make investment decisions based on #2. The product is great. Next-gen technology. Perhaps #1 follows... But even if you get #1 and #2 right, #3 can make or break the valuation of a company. It's not clear that Amyris has a path to profitability and the revenue growth is far from earth-shattering.
One of the few times 'the blockchain' might be a sensible answer, silly as the premise of url or title attack is.
> My visceral reaction was also anger and opposition

It is interesting that a project like this runs into visceral opposition from two different sides. Those on the left may object that we shouldn't be messing with the natural world in ways that will have consequences we won't understand. Those on the right may object that we shouldn't be attempting large expensive government projects that will intrude on individual liberty.

Both objections have some validity. But neither are cost/benefit analyses, which is a much better way to evaluate whether we should be doing something than asking whether it perfectly aligns with my principles.
Those people should also be banned from twitter. Just because some folks aren't banned when they should be doesn't mean we should stop banning everyone.

This isn't a left vs right thing. It's a "we shouldn't let people bring harm to other people online" thing. It seems you're the one making it left vs right.

My minor child’s device is my device.

As a parent, I may want to opt into a service on my managed, family device so I know my child’s fellow 9th grader girlfriend is sending pictures that may be a crime to possess, or vice versa. That is exactly what Apple did.

Like I said, you’re conflating two things that are not the same, because you’ve been fed a steady diet of bad information stemming from Apples unusually poor communications and the EFFs inaccurate blog post.

If you can pay for an alternative I’d strongly consider it. Blown insulation makes a mess of the attic.

Thanks for explaining to me what I don’t know. Clearly you’re a Tesla fanboy.

There is no doubt that it is an amazing piece of tech but I’m not confident Tesla will be able to pull off beating NVidia. Especially when compared to NVidias Tensor Cores and economics of scale. I don’t like their whole approach to self driving ML. I know a lot of people disagree with me so I would rather not get into it.

I think a lot of the talk of future performance is posturing in order to get NVidia chips at cheaper prices.

Since a red LED has a lower wave length then even 4G, by definition it has less power. I don’t know what you’re talking about here at all.

I'm sure there are some other reasons for those employees having potential to do more noble work, but aspiring to become an "ad man" on an aggressive media platform has always had an appeal to a certain amount of selfishness at the expense of others.

Now when the entire process is geared to appeal more strongly to even more greedy individuals, that's what you're going to end up with more so than anyone else.

I'm certainly not the innocuous one, with the toxic petrochemicals and all, where the oil business has always appealed more strongly to the greedy get-rich-quick types in its own way.

Rather than add to the size of a growing behemoth, I chose to do my survival activities more as a parasite instead.

There's definitely less money for the taking when you have to earn every dollar by adding value to resources, as opposed to collecting pay from accounts where funds were accumulated wildly before you showed up.

But that's the kind of decision you've got to make.

I know you can't do much about it from the side coming in to replace someone, but waiting until someone is on the way out is fundamentally a flawed way to do it. As an employer you need to be focused on seamless onboarding _before_ the people who know how to do things have decided to leave. "Knowledge transfer" is just new-hire onboarding done by someone who no longer has a stake in seeing it succeed.
Lucky you.

We have land near there. While it did rain this year and fill the tanks (man-made ponds the cows drink from, for coastal folks reading along), we lost most of our topsoil. I've never seen the mesquite / cedar trees and other plants so dead.

We have a field for sunflowers that we rent out to dove hunters. The sunflowers are under a foot tall this year (which is unprecedented) so we can't rent it out.

I guess the unprecedented wildfires this year also missed you.
I've run my email server in VM's at a variety of ISP's like GoDaddy, Linode and AWS Lightsail and never had an issue, well once when Microsoft banned a group of IP's in a drag net. I filed a request with them and they fixed it in a week or so.

Real hardware servers are not required to host email.
Sure, but the cost of really good planning that never messes up sequencing is likely to add a lot more than 4% to your utility bill.

A big problem is that C doesn't make you stick to the representation.

If you accidentally subtract and go into 'negative' numbers, using an unsigned in C will just happily give you the wrong answer.

Now in something like Haskell, it's much more robust advice to make invalid states unrepresentable. But C's compiler and runtime don't typically help you, when you are trying to break your representation.
Not a single member of my friends or family is going to use GPG encryption, not even my mother who loves me dearly. I had a computer geek "penpal" for a while and we did monthly emails to each once a month to catch up via gpg, and even that died off lol
I don't buy that.

Good error messages and robust error recovery for syntax errors are possible for almost any kind of language, even very weird ones, with today's modern parser technology. Just have a look at what for example Tree-Sitter does.

But the meat of good programming language error messages lies not in the syntax errors. It's in meaningful and informative semantic error messages. And these are almost completely independent of the language's syntax.
I've had this type of person on my team before. Reading through the questions and rationales I can just picture that person asking the same questions and expecting the same answers. Technically capable and a pain to work with. Everything was their way only, no compromises. If you don't agree, then you're just too dumb or inexperienced. The cost to the rest of the team is simply too high.
> When you compare them, you choose signed or unsigned comparison.

True. I've done a lot of assembler programming. Getting the right jxx instruction after a compare was a prolific source of bugs. I've had a lot fewer bugs with signed types :-)

> Plus the standard lib has specific functions for things like add with overflow which reflect what the CPU flags are doing.

D does, too:
