JavaScript is objectively one of the most successful programming languages ever invented. That alone makes it worthy of studying.

In the same way that it is worth studying why super successful ancient languages like C and C++ are still used today by millions of programmers. With new C/C++ projects being started every single day. Despite the looooong list of complaints and weird design decisions and foot guns and security issues etc. etc.

And let me also (tongue-in-cheek) question your sense of fashion: Haskell is so last year compared with leading edge dependently typed languages like Idris. And Scheme is the language your grand-grand-dad was taught at uni and never used in production. Not exactly what I would call “fashionable” :)
I don’t think insurance is a good analog because insurance has very high payouts.

Not sure the cost for this feature but the marginal cost is likely really low. So a day of coverage would maybe cost a few cents or dollars since they are already including 2 years free without raising the price.

This is very different from a day of homeowners insurance where the payout is hundreds of thousands or millions. The marginal cost on insurance is very high.
There were many reasons.

Ukraine got under control of a West-oriented government and many Ukrainians supported that. Military and economic ties grew. This telegraphed that Ukraine was on the path to be lost from the Russian sphere of influence (satellite states). Also it was an uncomfortable/dangerous for the Putin regime because it signaled to Belorussians and Russians that a different, west-oriented government system is possible.

Putin's popularity was falling before the war; nothing quite like war and war propaganda to neutralize discontent of powerful groups in Russia with the government; also works on the gullible part of population.

Lots of gas deposits and other natural resources in eastern Ukraine.

Belief in a quick "fait-accompli" win, resulting in expansion of Russian-controlled territory and gains in domestic popularity. Increase of power on the geopolitical scene, more power in relation to Europe.

Biden looked like a weak president who would not do much.

West did almost nothing in reaction to annexation of Crimea.

West did not want concede anything big to Putin during the talks. Probably rightly so.
> Fusion not only has to work, it has to be at least somewhat cost-competitive with other forms of energy generation.

Perhaps silly, but I wonder how this comparison would shape up if we were capable of calculating reasonably-accurate long-term figures about effects of pollution, mining for resources, construction costs, etc. in the process of producing each form of energy. I'm really curious what that'd look like.

Where the original Sequel authors took their Sequel spec and implemented it on real hardware + software, with interfaces for both "non-technical" ad-hoc queries as well as integration with PL/1 and COBOL for more technical users.

I have "non-technical" in quotes since in that 1970/80's timeframe, you had to be pretty technical to even have that label.

"The streetlight was originally designed as a surveillance device and has been refined to that end ever since then."

I'm sorry, but I don't think any normal definition of "surveillance" would include a lamp that simply allows those in the area to see their surroundings better.

Distributed observation by unconnected individuals without record keeping just doesn't seem to come close to a normal idea of "surveillance". And usually there's an element of surreptitiousness to the activity that's implied.
Lots of people have put forward credible models of how to do it. The key is to include power-to-X to provide dispatchable demand and a buffer for rare prolonged outages of the renewable sources.

King of Kong is my goto example of a documentary that is highly manipulative, and you wouldn't know it unless you had other sources of info.

Some examples:

This is highly de-recommended. The documentary twists way too many facts:

Billy Mitchell did not avoid Steve. In fact, he met him during that event.

Billy Mitchell and Steve already knew each other - years before they had been part of another event, and there's even a photo of them posing together.

Steve wasn't trying to break Billy's record, but his own record which he had set some years prior. When his record was disqualified in the movie, the record was reverted to his own prior record.
This is a neat writeup. It's fun to think about how to potentially automate this kind of tracking.

This side comment from the post is intriguing. Other than manual curation, I wonder if there is a way to identify commercial vs independent domains? This would make a really good entry point for a specialty search engine for indie sites only.

I am. I think in some cases they can be cool, but I don't find them obviously beneficial and have never bothered to use them. I don't find symbols like != to be particularly challenging, as the shape is clear and the meaning well ingrained in my brain. Maybe if I used them for a year I would strongly prefer ligatures, but right now I don't feel the need to use them.
Your idea results in a glorious day for Mozilla Firefox indeed. But I think you have to look even further down the line, assuming your future does play out as you described. And then all you have to look at is what we have today with Brave. Building in their own ad blockers that don’t rely on MV3 at all. Chromium-based browsers like it will have a market of their own.
no, see, that's exactly the problem. CO₂ is a mediopolitical wedge issue designed to trap us in partisan gridlock, not bring meaningful change to the global population. that's why it's so fickle and formless, perfect for sowing discord, because it can be shaped in any number of desired directions.

and it's clearly not threat to anyone living today and probably not for many generations to come, no matter what the 'trust the science' rhetoric claims. pollution, however, has been and will continue to kill millions of people every year. it has the potential to unite all sorts of factions (something vested interests fear) and actually make meaningful progress.

CO₂ and climate change is a sideshow, but it's been brought front and center because it serves a powerful purpose for those vested interests. anyone jumping on the climate change train is only furthering those interests, rather than solving real problems. instead, we should focus on the actual problems like pollution, and discard the chosen mediopolitical narrative.

It's rather amazing that you think that people haven't already thought of this issue and addressed it.

In fact, it's long been addressed, and the cost of dealing with intermittency of renewable sources appears acceptable.

Batteries are the most expensive storage. The overwhelming majority of storage will not be batteries. Of what is batteries, the overwhelming majority will not be lithium. Lithium batteries are well adapted for cars and phones. Other qualities are favored for utility storage.

the solar panels in screen size nearly cannot charge the battery, and it heat up the phone probably cause damage of the battery. an external solar pack is more practical.

btw, thanks your question hints me another solution, if solar pack can be more slim and foldable, it will be great to be a "solar-phone-case".
> I think there is a need to rate and rank and otherwise gather sentiments from researchers on papers in their field —ideally in a manner that allows for new important work to surface more easily.

I think what I'm building in peer-review.io actually achieves this. Because I've split out the two functions of review into pre-publication review and post-publication integrity management.

Pre-publication review is entirely about helping authors improve their work. It's rather akin to a Github PR.

Post-publication integrity management happens through voting and responses. More akin to StackExchange. Votes require responses, though responses don't require votes. That part is all public and on going. If you vote on a paper based on reading it, and then later discover its fraudulent in some way, you can come back and change your vote and edit your response. Both review and voting/response stay with the paper in perpetuity.

Also, thanks for the link, I'll give it a read!
The production values weren't very good for the time the show aired. It was about the seasons long overarching plot, and the characters who grew over those seasons which were relatively unheard of concepts in TV SciFi at the time.
What you would hope is that there is a small monthly fee (say a few bucks) to have the service and then a "usage fee" for the random unlikely time you use the service. So imagine paying $2 a month to have the service on and then $75 each time you use it. Use it once every 3 years (which seems like a lot for the intended user base) and it's only ~$4 a month.

And that seems about right compared to SPOT monthly pricing, considering it's intended for much greater usage than one time every 3 years.

I find this to be an unfortunate state of affairs. If Clojure's STM was more developer-ergonomic, it could be used in a wide variety of places.

For example right now in Clojure, when you have concurrent access to a map, you're forced to choose between either atomic, but entirely serial writes (wrap the map in an atom) or per-key concurrency, but no inter-key atomicity (either use nested atoms or use ConcurrentHashMap).

But this false dilemma has all the hallmarks of complection. It's an all-or-nothing choice brought on by an overly coarse idea of atomicity. You could instead use a map structure built on top of STM to get exactly the amount of atomicity you need. If you need two keys to be modified in the same transaction then they get modified atomically. If you need another key to be modified in parallel, then that can happen. The amount of atomicity you need is specified dynamically and on the fly, instead of bound inextricably to a predetermined choice.

I find myself wishing for this kind of tool whenever I have concurrent write contention on a map. Yes I usually bite the bullet and just accept forced serial writes to an atom, but I do so begrudgingly.

Other ecosystems with more ergonomic STM systems use this to great effect (e.g. Haskell's stm-containers library: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/stm-containers).
Some settings might help.

I have a Series 4. I stick it on the charger in the evening when I've settled down on the couch to do the NYT crossword puzzle, watch TV, and read. I inevitably fall asleep sometime during that. Sometime in the next two hours I'll wake up to go pee, see that the watch is charged, and put it on, go pee, maybe go get a drink of water, and head to bed.

When I'm in bed I have the watch in theater mode and with notifications silenced.

When I'm awake, but not exercising, I generally have it in theater mode with notifications not silenced. I'll toggle it out of theater mode if I'm doing something where I'll want to look at the watch more than sporadically.

When I'm exercising I turn off theater mode. That's typically about 40 minutes every morning.

Most evenings when I stick it on the charger it is above 50%. A fair number of days it is above 66%.

Current VZW customer here. Been overseas to Europe a few times (multiple countries each time) and SO went to Asia (3 countries) with absolutely zero issues. Just have to go on the app before you leave to pick an international plan (daily or monthly), select all the countries, and total trip start/end dates. Maybe you are on a business plan and can’t access the app? It’s pretty straightforward in there. Also pretty sure you can update the countries in the app if needed before you hop on the plane in the scenario of an unforeseen stop (or hop on free wifi when you land).
eSim feels similar to a credit card, if you don’t tell the company you are leaving town you could run into issues, but as long at the company is notified it should be seamless.
I understand that, but it seems like the most frequently-used features (eg. cosmetic filtering) are possible in MV3. So a version with those features included would still offer value.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems most of the missing capabilities are power user features - even by HN standards.

It's of course your discretion if that's something you wish to work on. I think a Minus and Plus version (or "Regular" if you prefer) offer a nice option for users to choose between. But I understand if the development overhead of managing two versions cannot be justified.

Engineering issues are perfectly capable of ruining the prospects for a technology, even if they are "lower class" than physics issues.
Agree. And people also tend to answer in different ways (how I am, how people think I am, how I want people to perceive me, how I want to be, etc), depending on the circumstances and environment of the test.

I don't think it has much value beyond some sort of throwaway catalyst for conversation.
What's wrong with pulling the energy from the magnetic containment system?

We already are using the magnetic containment system to redirect charged particles in the plasma back into the plasma. If we do so less forcefully than they were heading out, but still enough to stop them from leaving, we can convert particle velocity directly into electricity (AC with a relatively linearly decreasing frequency distribution, I think). This also has the effect of cooling the plasma (since temperature is related to average particle velocity).

The challenges I see here are:
1) The faster the control system, the more efficient it is at extracting energy -- it can extract the energy of higher frequency components.
2) You may need a very large magnetic field (larger than needed for containment) to make this practical
3) Coil geometry and efficiency becomes critical.
Neither of those translate energy from the human to the conveyance though.

Even in a national park, it will take time to respond to a satellite call.

Contrary to popular belief, search and rescue doesn't always send a helicopter. It's still common to send a ranger on foot and help walk somebody out on the trail. Or if that's not possible, to take a team of humans and carry someone out on a litter.

More generally... From what I was trained, ~12 hours is considered a fast rescue. The average time (according to the FAA's pilot survival training) is 31 hours, even with a known good location fix. 72 hours is very possible if there's inclement weather or difficulty locating someone.

Ask HN: Tips for Building a Training Course
How do you go about building a training course? Do you build an outline, then write it out in text, then build ppt slides? Or do you just write out everything you want discuss and arrange it into slides? Are there any resources to help the process?
That's the way it is. Math is one of the Liberal Arts, going back centuries, whereas the STEM acronym is recent.

That said, some schools offer degrees under science---if you major in math, you get a B.S.. Whereas in others you get a B.A.

By one measure of what is a Liberal Art, people with math degrees can be just as unemployable as historians or political scientists.

The question is what's the M doing in STEM, really, besides completing a pronounceable dictionary word.

For instance, in the phrase "STEM jobs", only the STE are jobs; nobody works in mathematics, as such, other than academics.
As well as any other WiFi I imagine. So I take it the answer to GP is "Yes, probably."
Yes it is only because it is from somebody working at Google. If the same person/team released it while not working for Google nobody would care. The fetishisation of anything Google never fails to amuse me. Especially given the long and growing list of failed Google projects.
Well, it's fairly easy to turn off. If you are in a situation in which you think you might be stalked through technology, you should certainly check your Find My along with any applicable location sharing Applications (both Android and Apple, such as google maps location sharing).

So I doubt this will be used much as a stalker feature. Unless of course they hide a phone on your person/vehicle in such a way that it is both totally unnoticeable to you AND maintains a very clear view of the sky. Apple said that sending messages could take a minute or more with even light foliage, so hiding it in/under a car will be a total no-go.

It’s fair because it’s based on consumption, or the value you extract from society. Not what you contribute.
I agree it's totally deceptive, and unbecoming of Apple. And to correct my earlier statement, Apple makes no claim that these support lossless. Which means, basically, you're stuck with their $9 DAC if you want lossless (though that little thing is surprisingly good).
I don’t go on multi-week off-grid hikes but I still switched to the Fenix from an Apple Watch. I don’t want to charge my watch every day, and I want to be able to wear it 24/7 to track sleeping and other metrics. Simple as that.

The killer feature of a watch for me is battery life.

Repeating this comment from a similar story:

Does anyone know of good DNA testing services which destroy the sample and all data, after delivering the results to the customer?
I apologize that I came off as insulting and judgemental, I should have expressed myself better. It genuinely is not personal for me, and my criticism is for the idea and not for you. Please note that I said, "the idea seems..." and not "you seem..."; I can understand how you would take that implication, and take responsibility for expressing myself badly, but I just want to demonstrate this wasn't my intention.

I find the idea you expressed - specifically that godhood might be attainable and that it's a goal one could work toward - to be extreme and dangerous, and I have first- and second-hand experiences where I've observed similar ideas to be harmful. (It would be fair to ask that I share these experiences, but I am not comfortable doing so; I realize that's unfair to you because it denies you the opportunity to interrogate them, and I apologize for that, but they are personal and painful and not all of them are mine to share.) I have no judgement of you, but I have a distaste for this idea. The rest of the ideas you're expressing, about life being just as fulfilling in a simulation, seem to be an ecstatic and joyful response to nihilism, and if that is working for you, that's awesome. But surely you can imagine a circumstance in which the idea "godhood is attainable" causes harm.

I think you're thinking that I just haven't thought this through properly and that if you just explained it better I would agree with you. But I have given this a lot of thought. I first encountered these ideas about 15 years ago, and your elaboration isn't really presenting anything new to me. We agree on what this thought experiment means and what the implications would be, we just interpret the results of the experiment quite differently. I do find it to be solipsistic, with some small concessions, like "okay, I admit that other minds exist as much as my mind does, so instead I hold that all of us are fictions." The idea that reality might be so malleable that we can "hack" it is, in my mind, inherently solipsistic, a natural consequence of centering one's ability to manipulate the universe as the most real thing.
Is this a serious question? Politicians lie all the time! Why? To get support, or to minimize resistance. And Putin manipulates and lies very well.
