Maybe this will be an unpopular opinion here, but I guess that's one of the reasons why Go is easier to use than Rust. Ok, the main reason is of course that you don't have to think about memory management complexities. And Go also has fewer of these "orthogonal features" than Rust. But for those features that are there, they made sure that, as far as possible, every feature was working together with every other feature from the start, and not "we'll start by allowing this only for A, B and C, and then let's see where it goes from there"...
How are MPEG-LA/Dolby/etc's standards more "de jure" than Google's? Both are standards only in the sense that a number of corporations agree on them. Neither have any kind of legal basis for being the standard.
Would be neat to have eye gaze be literally controlled by where you look using webcam tracking! Not sure how accurate it would be though.
This would be the ideal solution for collaboration. A shared *DAV server as a datastore where everyone can bring their own client.

Unfortunately this breaks down rather quickly as the various calDAV and cardDAV implementations vary wildly for features outside of simple task lists. About a year ago I tried configuring sync between Linux/Windows/MacOS/Android and failed. I documented my search here [1].

>For example could I, as a US citizen, work remotely for a US company while living in Japan indefinitely (not necessarily permanently, but at least as an option)?

NO.

You must have a work visa to live here, and you won't get that unless a Japanese company sponsors your visa. A US company can't do that for obvious reasons, unless it's a company with a Japanese branch office.

The only way to do what you ask is to get permanent residence first, but that means living here for a while on a work visa or spouse visa.

Also, on top of this, the US company may have issues with you living outside the US while working for them, but that'll be the case for any other country. This was discussed within the last week or so here on HN.
It's common to use constant combinators to tell the user what item goes on what input belt/pipe. Blueprints also allow you to provide some text.

Being able to plop down a block that allows you to enter some text would be nice, though. I'm sure there's mods that do that.
When places are hit hard - like in this example from climate change - there usually are no "improvements" and "efficiency tranformations" either: in the downturn, tons of energy is spent in sustaining what's there, and there are no money or resources to spend on new infrastructure.

(And as other countries are also hit, they don't go much for charity or building other's infrastructure, it's "every man/country for himself").

To put it simply: when things go to shit is not the time when new infrastructures are built.
Like a good engineer I used to follow CICO religiously. It’s so simple and ‘right’, you just budget your calories and that’s all that matters.

This led to me eating treat bags of sweets for lunch. Cycles of months putting on weight and then the following months doing a 500 deficit per day to lose it. Radical hunger spikes l, nights awake in bed because I was so hungry and dreams of eating marshmallows. Lack of nutrients.

By the end of it I’d lost a lot of hair (I put a lot of this down to the inflammation caused by insulin resistance), my sweat smelled sweet, my temperature was totally out of whack, and maintaining my weight was a constant struggle.

However, since fasting and eliminating sugar from my diet I’ve maintained my weight with way less effort. By focusing on low GI food, nutrient dense food, Ive reduced my hunger pangs, my sweat smells normal, my hairs started to grow back, my sleep has improved, I recover faster from exercise, etc.

So yeah, CICO works. But it’s not optimal. The worst thing about my new diet is just how expensive and time consuming it is compared to just reading the calories on a packet and buying the cheapest thing that fits my daily budget. But it’s worth it.
I've worked on very complicated systems(Mathematical simulations etc), you can always break it down to sub problems.
I was in your exact spot ten years ago. I eventually chose to work on boring business software, as the combination of high salary, remote work and not having to leave my home town (not to mention, country) was hard to beat.

As an alternative, I imagined moving to US on the H1-B visa, getting a job at Intel or Nvidia (if I'm lucky), sitting in a depressing office for 8 hours working on some 20 year old god-awful codebase, and then coming back to my apartment to be sad and lonely there. I think it would've been a quite likely scenario. If the job allowed to me to have fun working on interesting, small projects with a low of ownership and self-directing (basically a dream job that almost no one gets), then MAYBE it would've been worth it. But, I spoke to a guy who was at Intel once and his description of the GPU drivers codebase did not sound fun at all (he ran away screaming from there).

So, essentially, at the end of the day, coding job is a coding job and is usually nothing like having fun with technology at your own time. Hence, it makes sense to compartmentalize the two, and treat job as a source of funding for the things you want to do in your life. With this assumption, it makes sense to maximize salary while minimizing the nuissance that the job is in your life.

It seems to ping with about 800B for a response of about the same size every 2 seconds. So every minute that's about 25KB up and 25KB down.

I wouldn't do it like that, but to call that wasteful when many websites need 5MB of ad code before they let you see anything is a bit over the top!
Being very pedantic: "passkey" is spelt with a lowercase "p" like with "password".
Given that affordances is defined as "the quality or property of an object that defines its possible uses or makes clear how it can or should be used," I think it refers to how modern UI designers obfuscate the entire power of a system behind easy to use functionality that is aimed at mostly non-technical users, leaving those who have the capability to mold it to their preferences and customize it at a disadvantage. I guess affordability is then a word play on affordances.
Higher gravitation is not only a muscular stress, I believe our internal organs and vessels will suffer or fail relatively quickly because there is not enough growth/strength adaptation designed into them.

Hate speech laws in the US are toothless. Richard Spencer could happily run for local office and then post on Twitter over and over that white people should go murder all black people and he would be protected from any policy action by this law.
>It's also true in more significant ways, in that lynchings happened because people felt that crimes (or "crimes") were not being appropriately dealt with.

Given the way that lynchings seemed to function in some parts of the U.S based on documentary photographs and such that probably some people would like to make illegal, it could just as well be argued that lynchings happened because the country did not have effective mass entertainment.

I thought Saturn was mostly benign. My hope was that a magnetosphere would protect the moons from the early outbursts of the red dwarf.

That's surprising. Found this nice map [1] and the numbers are really disappointing. ~15 kps from Titan-to-Iapetus sucks (even though it's ~4 kps less than Earth-to-Mars). At least the distances are smaller...
The problem though is that exceptional people are scattered all over the system, since 1) not everybody can get into Harvard (class size) and a significant percentage who do are selected from a small monied elite. The number of non-Harvard graduates is much, much larger.

So statistically it is actually far more likely that the Harvard person is relatively mediocre to a neutral sampling of the entire system.
> Same for all the "evil Russians rape and torture" - Zelensky ended up firing the official who was pushing this narrative. Why? Maybe cuz their latest ramblings became so incoherent, it might have caused suspicion and could have hurt the public image?

Perfect timing, you can now read the independent UN report that says Russian troops raped and tortured children in Ukraine.

https://www.ohchr.org/en/statements/2022/09/update-chair-ind...

ill quote it for you.

"The Commission has documented cases in which children have been raped, tortured, and unlawfully confined. Children have also been killed and injured in indiscriminate attacks with explosive weapons. The exposure to repeated explosions, crimes, forced displacement and separation from family members deeply affected their well-being and mental health.".

> Distance to what? IMO, the most comparable thing to Iraq would be Russian campaign in Syria.

Its distance from the countries fighting the actual war, in Iraq countries where fighting a war thousands of kilometres way from them, in Ukraine Russia is fighting on its doorstep and still failing.
Apple is also a member of Khronos - the highest level of membership in fact. Doesn't mean that they are at all interested in furthering and promoting the standards Khronos oversees. Microsoft is also a member of Khronos btw and they have been actively hostile towards open graphics standards for much longer. It simply makes sense for corporations to get access to relevant standards bodies in their fields, whether they are interested in adopting those standards or interested in competing with them.
"Affordances" are a UI design concept - they're things that the design of an object makes you think you can do with that object, if that makes sense. In this context, door handles afford being pulled (because they stick out of the door and you want to pull the door, so you pull the handle), buttons afford being pressed (because they are small, often labelled with a function, and project above the surface they're embedded in), etc.

So yes, I think you're right that it's a word-play between the UI design concept and the cost of implementation concept.

> No amount of YouTube videos can replace that.

The irony here is that Youtube videos from ten years ago are still alive and well. As Youtube makes a much better places for publishing and archiving content than the rest of the Web. With Youtube you don't have to worry about URLs changing or domain names expiring or anything like that. You just publish your video once, get a unique video-id and don't have to worry about anything else. Google's monopoly worked here in our favor for once and they have been reasonably good in not breaking old content (not perfectly, as video annotation got crippled pretty badly).

I think that's where the rest of the Web fell short. The Web has no concept of "publishing". There is no ISBN when you write a blog, no library were you could look up that ISBN. It's all just a file on a server or an entry in a database, that will get mangled and lost in the coming years. Worse yet, the article itself isn't even accessible from the Web, it's mixed together with a user-interface, ads and other stuff or spread across multiple pages. All this makes it quite tricky to keep old content readable and archived for the future.

This also leads to a weird situation that a lot of publications are still avoiding the Web after 20+ years. They publish as ePub or PDFs instead, which you can somewhat access from the Web, but really aren't well integrated into it. But it's by far the easiest way to ensure that a text document published today will remain readable a decade down the line.
It might feel rewarding but most of the stuff past the system 1 and system 2 concept is a long list of studies that don't replicate presented as fact.
Any country that cares about national sovereignty and security, needs to control the information technology that operates in the country. There is no neutral provider of this tech. Closed source national internets will become the norm, with perhaps open source forming some sort of parallel system which citizens who are curious about escaping from government operated / controlled / funded / affiliated systems can use.

Interestingly, countries which are unable to develop indigenous systems may well default to open source as a way to mitigate the influence of foreign actors who control closed systems

It's all smoke and mirrors. The real problem is that ISPs sell the very same thing to multiple people for full price, and when things break because multiple people want to use the thing they paid for at the same time they blame you for taking more than your 'fair share'.

That is the disconnect. In their mind you are 'sharing' with all the other people that bought the same thing, whereas you believe you were the only one that bought what they said they would sell you, like any other purchase works.

The Drama Show of DHCPv6 in Android: Support for DHCPv6 (RFC 3315)
That's what I find fascinating honestly. We let our kids undergo grueling periods while we as adults live a leisurely life. Kids have incredible strict rules to adhere to. It was almost completely unheard of for a kid to come in late in school. Kids can't do the things they want to do because parents stop them. That in combination with the high-pressure environment of school... I think the only reason they accept it is because they don't know any better.

Comparatively most adults have incredible comfortable lives. Besides going to work they can basically do whatever they want. There is no pressure to strive for anything. It's baffling to me how people can lay such high pressure on their children but let themselves go in their own life.
The problem with cases that are oriented horizontally is they're usually required to be in a slim form factor in comparison to "normal" ATX or even mini ATX cases. This poses a problem for providing adequate cooling and power delivery. In face of GPUs (NVIDIA/ AMD) becoming more power hungry/ heat producing this just doesn't work out for most people. There were some attempts in the past[0] however they don't appear to have gained mainstream adoption. On the other hand, systems with low power components could be accomdated in this form factor but they most likely wouldn't benefit much from it (or just employ a laptop with a dock).

That's a nice explanation. In particular I didn't realise that more light improves the bokeh. Do you know why that is so? (I assume that you mean "makes bokeh look more pleasant" rather than "widens focal range".)
Ineffectual handwaving at it's best! I'm impressed.
Or maybe everyone could have a more prosperous life, if we didn't have so many people, like you, scared of losing their priviledged positions, and using exploitation as an excuse to quell any potential competition. If you're so afraid anyone will get exploited, spend your time telling them how much you make, so they dare charge a bit more.
> I have faith in science, human resilience and ingenuity and I tend to believe that the future doesn't have to be so grim and humans will find a way.

Unfortunately, if humanity wants to prevent that outcome, we would have to start doing massive changes now.

Relying on "humanity will find a way to work around in 30 years" is foolish, simply because when the expected progress doesn't happen in this time frame, humanity in 30 years is going to have to commit much more effort and resources than if current humanity would start now.
No one couldn’t. I’m sorry, but this is garbage. Harm is a thing. Transphobia is transphobia.

How? If anything liberalised agriculture would have incentivised growing crops other than rice and wheat.
Horizontal form factor might solve the 'at rest' problem, but the moment you pick up the case to move it somewhere (even still while horizontal) the socket it going to be under load. We really need a solution that supports the card well enough that it's safe even in transit.
so we probably are not alone. the next questions for me are: how rare is first "one-way" contact between intelligences? and how rare is asynchronous two-way contact (centuries or milllenia in between messages) and how rare is two way immediate contact in our galaxy?
Depends on the density, and the distance from the surface to the centre.
I think this is definitely the best starting point. Doom is a great setup, and it offers a lot of configurability that is well supported (it's fast, too!). I have my own setup I'm just too attached to atm, otherwise I'd just switch over.

For clarity's sake, evil-mode (emacs-vim) is a vim binding layer on top of emacs, like vim plugins in other editors. Leave it off if you're starting out and don't know vim, enable it if you are comfortable with vim.
Bandwidth = data per unit of time. So for the same amount of data, faster bandwidth absolutely decreases load time.

And in the modern UI, all those small "hints" at how the interface can be used are being steadily removed: links, buttons, text fields, etc. all pretend to be static text.
Interesting theory. One data point for your theory: i never dream of school - school was the easiest part of my life and i seldom prepared for tests. I viewed it all as a req'd time sink to get a good job to escape poverty. My equivalent dream is being unable to punch or fight (like a kitten could take the punishment and keep napping) or move fast enough.
Perhaps you don't need to solve any limit because computers can do that for you, but when you try to solve a problem in your mind if you know limits you don't need a computer all the time, you just need to know that some approximations give you an acceptable solution to certain problems and in many cases the approximation is based on a limit. For example in many problems one can foresee the capacity of a process and what kind of error are acceptable is that setting, so you are able to obtain local solutions or assymptotic expansions that save you job.

So yeah, 1/3 of what...
> Thanks for the EU detail! Are you saying the typical house in the EU has three phase power delivered to it? All three phases?

Yes! And many electrical devices rely on it, though sometimes fallback to regular 230V single-phase at 32A is possible, e.g. for stoves.

And considering a typical stove runs at 11-15kW and a typical electric water heater between 15kW to 25kW, you'll need it as otherwise you'll need far higher amps than is reasonable.

Honestly, only due to the technology connections video did I realize that the US does not use triphase power in most homes, which was genuinely surprising.

Regarding Canada you could also argue the opposite. The modern progressives are against dairy and meat, and Canada has quite a progressive wind blowing at the moment.

But there are risks of deficiencies in a meat & dairy free diet. I've people close to me had b12 and iron deficiencies who cut out those because of modern diet ideas.

Especially B12 is a big one, and if you don't supplement it's almost impossible to get on a diet without dairy or meat. It's also full of many other nutrients. So recommending milk doesn't sound so crazy to me, even though I agree the milk lobby is a known powerhouse in many countries.
