I was under the impression that the Great Green Wall of Africa doesn't really exist at the moment, and that no project goals were ever reached.
I'm thankful for this thread, (as a pretty darn well-traveled american!) I've never heard of this concept.
Not sure what you're even trying to say. Sounds like support for my comment - companies don't want the ones who couldn't self teach (as they wouldnt survive according to you).
I went to this mall for a New Year’s party when it was in the process of closing. Didn’t seem any different from any other of its age.
It's time to stop treating hardware like a toy or "the newest thing" and start thinking about ways to extend and expand use. Not just reuse as intended but different uses. As hardware gets more powerful and advanced, it's time software and the OS stared getting more versatile as well.

What we really need is advanced work on local asymmetrical interconnected systems.
It just seemed excessive for a regular expression library. For comparison the most recent version of PCRE built in almost exactly 26 seconds.

Sadly the hyperscan build crapped out for me in the linking phase, failing to find a bunch of coreX and avx optimized memset functions.

Yes but. Forget about simple linear relations. Where are those trees? What is their biogeochemical role? How change in them and the surfaces they occupy interacts with global dynamics in Earth system components? These are some of the questions that matter.
Seems very shortsighted for Google to move away from hardware, might seem smart to cut costs and stop bothering today but it'll seem an extremely poor choice when they find themselves in Microsoft's OS position down the line.

Systems are only going to get more and more locked down, Google will be struggling to make enough money on iOS in 10 years when it gets even more restricted and 30% cut of ad sales will be the norm. Current Android OEMs are gonna throw more and more custom stuff on top and begin to deviate to systems they fully control.
These are probably privately owned cameras, which are far more widespread, i don’t think governments have what meta has on you.

I’d go so far as saying, hand wringing over government surveillance has served as a smokescreen over the proliferation of private surveillance.

Not that i want to advocate for government surveillance, just that, in my experience, people who worry so much about it seemed to have entirely missed how much private companies have expanded into public space.
i didn’t mean rust. i meant any of these modern technology articles
This article is pathetic.

It compares in excessive detail some old and frankly hard to follow tables to the present day guideline of 2,500 calories and makes NO EFFORT to validate whether or not that's realistic.

It also tries to use pictures from baseball game showing thin people in the front row as evidence of... something. This is still what you see today. Rich people are significantly thinner on average in america. And even in obese heavy areas, you don't see a lot of obese people walking around. Because... they're not walking.

Here's an article citing an american average of 3,600 calories consumed per day, up a whopping 24% since 1961.

https://www.businessinsider.com/american-calorie-intake-last...

Here's another article citing CDC data suggesting a 22% rise in caloric consumption leading into the year 2000.

Please have some sympathy for the pathetic workers who have to work overtime to keep up because management failed to keep progress for the new and exciting.

Sometimes this competition thing is a distraction. Like now there is an emergency meeting for the three year roadmap to shrink to 1 year and with less innovation than they planned it to have, and the actual three year roadmap becomes 5 years because of wasted energy for short term gains.
If you read again carefully, that is not what I said.
Do more trees equal more forrest fires? What, if anything, can be done to prevent mass fires down the road as we plant more trees? Should we be promoting controlled burns or thinning out of forests?
> The parent would agree that Roger Ebert is notable. But s/he is arguing that legendary should have a higher bar.

I think that's a reasonable view, but that's not what I took issue with. I take issue with the claim that critics produce nothing and have nothing in the line. And with the notion that legendary stature would be impossible for a critic to attain.
Around here essentially all car lights are regulated. This mostly helps with people installing such crap.

Though I once discovered the inverse issue at the rear end of the car in front of me: Whoever thought a brake light should be a faint, red glimmer in completely black-tinted plastic (that's impossible to see from a few metres on a cloudy day) is either bonkers or pretty smart: I bet people actually buying these regularly need new ones.

Especially considering that with many modern cars, standing behind them at a traffic light and basking in the red brake lights feels like going to an adult club.

(Luckily I have radar with emergency brake assist, so except for the sound of me cursing to myself not a lot happened on the occasion).
Yes, sites have to add their part too. It’s not something browsers add that “just works” everywhere like when auto-fill was created.
Some of the buildings here were built much later than the rest - my take is that that spoiled the original idea (removing, among other things, a local farmer's market), but they did increase population density considerably.

But yeah, a few corner shops didn't survive.
Do you have influence over those that cut down a tree in the Amazon? If so, it would definitely be better if you could persuade them to stop.

If you don't, planting a rando tree in your back yard still does more good for the planet than not doing so.
1-on-1 meetings typically involve a few things, including:

- Recent performance
- Upcoming or current changes in the organization
- Career growth

These all hit a similar sort of area, which is how the subordinate can have the most significant impact (within means) and how the boss can support them in getting there.

On either side of the table, anticipating these things in advance is necessary. It might even be worthwhile to agree with each other ahead of time which things will be discussed at least a few days in advance.

To keep things from getting ambiguous, both sides should be ready with specifics. It's hard to keep a conversation with a subordinate who has nothing to say or a boss who speaks in vague terms. However, this can be remedied a lot of the time by simply asking for elaboration or examples, and to make a note to better-prepare for next time. Discussions should revolve around what the subordinate has been doing lately to some degree.

One thing that can simplify things is to break down target goals that the subordinate should shoot for. Then, when circling back during the 1-on-1, both can see how well the goals were achieved, identify blockers/issues, and so on. Then readjust the aim at the goal, or get a new goal, rinse and repeat. These goals come in a lot of forms, including completing projects, helping coworkers, and stepping up to a higher position. Even for the boss, if there are issues that keep stopping the subordinate from doing their best, they should make an effort to remedy these problems and form a path for the subordinate's success.
I agree with your train of thought, but I disagree with the specifics.

Though, that's in part due to my own definition of discrimination in this context to be "placing a label to tell 2+ groups apart and taking action using that label".

Taking money from the rich and giving to the poor is inherently discriminating between the rich and the poor with a follow-up action to remove resources from one group (the rich) and give to the other (the poor). The action is there regardless of the reason or ethics of the context (i.e. why someone is rich or poor).

If someone really doesn't want to discriminate, sure. But I think the argument of "labelling it discrimination is wrong" is wrong in the sense of my own definition of discrimination. For me, a more useful argument would be "well, let's figure out the metrics we're optimizing when we discriminate like this".
Why not just put more money into schools and poorer areas?
Ahh, I see! For some reason I thought the "field" was the TX-6.
The immense scale of illegal cultivation fed a glut that crashed wholesale prices last year, jeopardizing even those in the licensed market. Small-scale legal farmers unable to sell their crop have been pushed toward financial ruin.

I think this is the real issue here. Politicians legalized weed, not realizing how this would hurt farmers who used to able to grow it illegally.

What part is incorrect? That there is a desire and need for an observable beginning? That I said it "might", in other words, could potentially have come into play? I don't think you know that this has not happened. How can you possibly know? You are entitled to believe what you like, but use the word "incorrect" when you know something is false. Something is not necessarily false just because it contradicts your beliefs!

Trees are overhyped when it comes to CO2 capture/recycling. Algae already outproduces trees globally by 2x. It is also much easier to industrialize. For example, algae ponds could be built alongside fossil fuel plants to capture carbon on site.

Oil is predominately captured algae that died, sank to the bottom of the ocean, and was sealed in by salt deposits/other nonpermeable layers. Coal is carbon captured by trees, but it only formed in a relatively narrow period after cellulose evolved but before bacteria/fungus evolved to eat it. Oil will continue to form, but it's unlikely any new coal will form in the future.

Notch Pro for Macs without a notch
A Big Mac and large fries at McDonalds comes to 1040 calories and 102 g of carbs (9 g of which are added sugars). That's 39% of the calories coming from carbs, which is generally considered to be a moderate level of carbs in the medical literature.

Get a double Quarter Pounder with cheese instead and its 1230 calories and 101 g of carbs (10 g of which are added sugars). That's 33% of calories from carbs, which is also in the moderate carb range.

As far as the burger itself goes, a doubler Quarter Pounder with cheese is 740 calories and 41 g of carb (10 g of which is added sugars). That's 22% of calories from carbs and would count as a low carb item in much of the medical literature.

Americans tend to go overboard. They hear that cutting back on carbs has been shown to have some benefits, and they think this means they have to cut back from the 50-60% calories from carbs diets they are on to 5-10%. That is very hard since it eliminates most breads, pastas, rice, potatoes, and deserts. It is costly and/or time consuming to maintain such a diet. Most who try will fail for those reasons.

In fact much of the benefits from reducing carbs will come with a more modest reduction to around 40%, which can be achieved without having to largely give up the aforementioned foods. It is much easier to stick with it when you can still eat at most restaurants, including most fast food places.
Of course we value more the life of beings more closely related to us than the life of beings more distantly related to us.

However, there are more differences between the domestic plants and the domestic animals than that.

The life of most animals that are eaten by humans can really be said to be destructed from the day when they are born until the day when they are killed, because they are forced to live in a way different from the life for which their body is made for and that they obviously do not enjoy.

On the other hand, there is no significant difference between the life of the wild plants and that of the cultivated plants. From the plants that are perennial, we take some parts, e.g. fruits or seeds, which would have been discarded anyway. The annual plants like wheat are killed during the harvest, but they would have died anyway after spreading their seeds, and until the harvest they have lived in the same way as a wild plant.

Before the last century, the lives of the domestic animals were usually much better than now and they frequently could be said to live as well as similar wild animals. For example, the chickens grown by my grandparents were certainly happy during all their life. They had a very large space where they could wander all day and eat whatever plants or insects they liked besides the corn that supplemented their diet. They raised their young and did everything else that wild chickens would do, until the day when they were caught and killed. As a small child, I have played a lot with those chickens.

So, unlike the cultivated plants, most of them had their lives shortened, but, except for duration, their lives were not altered in other ways.

Unfortunately such animal raising methods cannot be scaled to feed billions of humans.
Loudness is also distance dependent, as in, not just how far away the sound source literally is, but how far away you think it is.
You should read about high frequency trading sometime.
Whoever is demanding them, they are still subsidies. You can be sure that if there were a bill introduced tomorrow that (with a chance of passing) significantly redirected highway spending, or even just tried to cover the whole bill (including the cost to use direct air capture to undo the climate damage and store the carbon indefinitely) with fuel taxes, the fossil fuel and auto manufacturing lobbies would be tripping over themselves to see it defeated at almost any cost.
The submitted title ("Watching a video at 2x the speed can double your learning speed") was editorialized in a way that strongly affected the comments—it made the thread more shallow and predictable. That's one reason the site guidelines ask you not to do that.

"Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize."

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Edit: it's worth pointing out that the submitted title at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32815915 ("Marmots appear not to age while they are hibernating") was actually good and in keeping with the same guideline. In that case the original title was linkbait and therefore needed to be changed, and the submitted title appears to be an accurate and neutral representation of the article, not a cherry-picked detail as it was here.
Ah! Yes.

The CO2 is only released if we burn them. If we use the wood for building materials or other goods with long-term storage, the carbon continues to be locked up.

> That way even faking or destroying sign would be ineffective

In theory you could add an HMAC (or similar) signature to the QR code. It would be bigger, but if cars maintained a DB of state DOT public keys, you could mitigate this somewhat.

Then you’d also have to worry about duplicate codes, but at least they wouldn’t be “fake”. Maybe even add lat/long coordinates to the code… again, more data, more pixels required, but it would make sure the signs are roughly in the right place. Which doesn’t seem all that feasible to require construction crews to put the right sign in the right place.

Logistically this doesn’t seem all that promising.

Yeah, this PC has a Haswell CPU.

As much as I want to agree on Ryzen, Intel is still the best platform for low-latency audio stuff. So I hope that performance-per-watt is or will be good as I'm beginning to get that PC-building itch. I'm curious what its idle usage is like.

But my living-room PC has a third-gen Ryzen (I built it just before the pandemic hit) and have been super pleased with its performance.
Well, some of the things shown in the film were already reality at that time. Only that one was called a conspiracy theorist, if one has noted this at that time.
It's interesting to see Windows in the list of platforms to be supported.

LibJS itself was very interesting, but unfortunately it depends on a bunch of other Serenity libraries (AK, LibCore, etc.) which in turn heavily depend on POSIX.

I'm curious if that means they want to make LibWeb / LibJS actually portable C++ code and how they plan on achieving that (hopefully without introducing a POSIX compatibility layer on win32 like msys or whatever).
Yeah, it's not super well executed by any means and its relegated to a very small section of the mall, but I still believe the idea is good and could be successful if nurtured correctly.
> Bike paths make infinitely more sense (especially since they dont have to follow roads and can take more direct paths), but cities seem loathe to adopt them vs just painting some lines on a current street.

They're probably loathe to adopt them because often there are buildings in the way that would have to be demolished to make way. Painting lines on an existing street is infinitely cheaper, because no one has pay to demolish or build anything.
The system they are trying to ban solves this.

It is always the same charade in which a government tells you that by banning x they will solve y. Or that by removing any form of privacy to everyone (but themselves) they will solve y.

In the end they never solve it, even worse the people in charge of the surveillance (banks in this instance for money laundering) are repeatedly caught actively taking part in the laundering and they occasionally get punished by "fines" that are rarely enough to discourage them from continuing.

So people want to take their privacy back now and tear down means ridiculous theatricals we call AML/KYC/KYB procedures. Obviously governments aren't happy, they are welcome to try to stop us.
On a personal level I don't think that matters. From a policy perspective, sure, but for my own decision on how to school my children, IDGAF about the bottom 10%.

Today you're a Taylor Swift fan and you want more of her music faster than she can deliver. Maybe you make it yourself and share with friends, and it goes viral. She might even get on stage and sing it.

Tomorrow, you want more Taylor Swift and you tell the computer to give it to you. It delivers with no human intervention whatsoever. You love it, but want it a bit more country - so be it. Piano and acoustic. Got it. A duet between her and Bruno Mars. Just for you.

Michael Jackson and Elvis? Nothing is without possibility.

It seems obvious really. Weird Al makes parody songs, of cause the movie was going to end up being a parody movie.
Nothing is absolutely safe and therefore everything including doing nothing is a risk factor for death to some degree. Moderate alcohol consumption as a risk factor is far out-weighed by other enjoyable and laudable pursuits that are generally considered safe e.g. driving, mountain biking etc. So it’s great to drink moderately just like it’s good to occasionally smoke a cigar if you enjoy it. Practice the virtue of moderation and enjoy life!
I recently replaced my headlight (entire assembly because it's all hermetically sealed). It was about $2000 USD. There are far more expensive.
Do you have any perceptions on what random, average Russians think? for example, presumably while they see a lot of positive news on RU television, are they aware of the level of propaganda and misleading news? If they are, what other sources do they consume (telegram?)? Is there any path to Russia downsizing the invasion/starting to negotiate with Ukraine over the occupied areas?

Are russians worried about Ukraine entering Russian territory? Attacking moscow (not directly, but through special troops)? To what extent has the economic situation made life less (or more?) comfortable for citizens?
The App Store reviews are pretty damning. Pay 1 dollar to unlock dark mode, only to have an update roll it back, and charge 12 dollars monthly.
