> understand the decision making process that was being followed

This should be documented in the PR in human language, hopefully with some backwards and forwards and questions asked and answered.

I'll frequently go back and document why the PR wound up the way it did even after everything has been merged and shipped because some discussion a day later makes me realize that the information had never been captured.

And those can be options that were never in the commit history because they weren't the path that was taken.

Then a few years later you can read the PR and see that there were different options, that some of them were rejected as not meeting the actual requirements, there might have been concern about breaking changes, the very issue that has cropped up later might have been anticipated but a simpler solution was used on the expectation that the complicated solution wouldn't be necessary (and now it is necessary). The "why" of a change is a lot more than the history of the person typing on the keyboard and making commits, there's a whole lot of thinking that goes into a change which is never reflected in a single line of code.
How writing has spread across the world
Yeah — TypeScript is great in a vacuum, and if you’re working on an established project that’s got all the tooling configured perfectly it can be a pleasure… but if you’re starting from the ground up, it can be a god awful nightmare.

I think typescript is great but the heavy, heavy dependency on starter kits that come with a dozen build dependencies configured to within an inch of their life is a testimony to how much of TypeScript is voodoo.

Every dependency you add to a project requires new incantations and prayers and probably some sort of sacrifice.
No, you get it. It's stupid.
> The issue is whether Russia is capable of acting rationally to secure their interests as they define them

> People seem to be endlessly confused that leaders spin various narratives to sell a war at home. Putin is no different

So are we talking about Putin, or about Russia? You seem to equate the two. My belief is that Putin or not, revanchism against the west after losing the cold war is the Russian zeitgeist.

> we can't do is a priori determine that he is acting irrational thus obviating the need of understanding and anticipating our adversary

I never said we should not try to understand him. Of course he's not an absolute unpredictable madman.

But there isn't much to understand either. Clearly he's been playing foot-in-the-door game for a while now. Your suggested strategy "just give in a little bit more and hope he stops" has already been tried a few times and hasn't worked so far. You want to keep trying, but that is exactly what foot-in-the-door players want you to do. The best strategy is to close the door.

Click house is a great DB but still not the best at storing timeseries metrics. Do you have plans to incorporate a db optimized for time series storage?
After you read Middlemarch by George Eliot, at least 90% of the other Western (incl. Russian, Spanish, etc translated to English) classics you read will seem stupid and pointless.
Depends what you mean by ebike

Something the same weight as a regular bike with a 250W motor doing the same speed is vastly more efficient.

A LEV with accessory pedals doing double the speed with 2kWh of battery is at best a wash and likely requires 1000s of trips to break even on the embodied energy.
> Why would they do that?

The history of human civilization has countless examples.

Those who willfully ignore history can enjoy speedrunning it instead.
It takes me about 20 minutes to prep this, it cooks on its own for about an hour, it's delicious, and it reheats well.

https://www.seriouseats.com/colombian-chicken-stew-with-pota...

I cook a portion that gives me 4-5 meals, in my 6-quart instant pot.

I consider that recipe a start, and I add some ingredients. I like the listed ingredients, plus red pepper flakes, garlic, chicken boullion, a little olive oil, and whatever else sounds good that day--usually spices. You just cube the stuff and dump it in there.

Even just the listed recipe is great, and it's the simplest full meal I make and I've never grown tired of it.

I thought it was trivial to understand, though the comment above it helps a lot, and it's maybe an unfair advantage that I'd done the same thing in pretty much the same way four years ago. It probably depends on your background; I wouldn't write it that way for people who didn't know shell, just like I wouldn't write this comment in English for people who speak only Spanish.

I'm not convinced that it's easier to understand in Python (even though I simplified it a bit, in part because one piece of the Python 3 braindamage was moving string.maketrans to bytes):

import re

def main(words):
for word in words:
word = word.strip().upper()
if re.compile(r'[A-FOI]{6}$').match(word):
print('#' + word.replace('I', '1').replace('O', '0'))

if __name__ == '__main__':
main(open('/usr/share/dict/words'))

I think the shell version is clearly better for interactive improvisation, though.
I’ve been wondering how TikTok knows to suggest me friends of friends of friends with me having the most basic profile with no connections and my friends not actually having Tik Tok. But now it makes sense, and apart from evil, it’s brilliant.
I came to TypeScript from Clojure/ClojureScript, which in turn I came to from untyped JavaScript. At this point I’d say both Clojure and TypeScript had equally the greatest impact for me. Clojure helped me understand how to reason about managing state over time in a way I carry to everything I’ve worked on since. TypeScript helped me understand how to reason about interfaces between operations and guarantees about state over time, which again will be with me anywhere I go… in projects I maintain now which haven’t yet migrated from JS to TS, and if I ever get motivated to return to lisps for business or pleasure.

By the way. I don't know anything about ARM laptop. I know that there are some models.
But have no idea how it is going.

I guess having another option won't hurt, and would increase applications adoption.

To be honest: supporting such uniform hardware as Apple's is way easier than supporting bunch of different vendors. So this is doable, if won't be one-man project.
I thought that was the George Mallory, but it's his Grandson (which is also pretty cool).

I interacted with ITU technocrats at one time. It is an expression of old Europe money and telecom, in a format that is similar to a USA corporation but more of a "castle" feeling to it. They literally employ armies, but in a white collar way. Probably some engineering talent, but really, they are about exerting power over networks, not the invention and execution you see in the USA / Silicon Valley. Do I want to add "Catholic" here? no but it is not far-fetched.
Why not? That's only one path in one direction every two blocks.

Why is dedicating 5% of the space and 2% of the money on doubling tansport capacity unfeasible?
The other fact to remember about fission explosives is that smaller == dirtier. The tiny W54 got a 1 kiloton yield from 5kg of plutonium. The contemporary Mark 18 Nuclear Bomb got 500 kilotons out of 60kg of uranium. 12 times the fissile material gave 500 times the explosive yield. Less energy converted into heat means more energy left in the form of radioactive material. Much of said radioactive material is going to end up deposited on the inside of your engine.
Personally speaking, yes. I tend to gravitate to locally hosted services. In some cases it can be a night & day difference.
Shouldnt this have been rendered impossible with Apple and Google’s crackdown on third-party cookies? Whether it a 1x1 tracking pixel or a full-blown Javascript, Apple’s ITP protection would seem to render it unables to track people across websites.

The key word is SEEM. I have no idea regarding all the contradictory news coming out of all the camps. I posted a question on StackOverflow with a significant bounty that expires in 5 hours and so far no one has even showed up to answer it:

iOS is better than you think. allows limited adblocking in Safari, think of it as 'uBlock lite'. Due to limitations regarding size, etc, not everything can be blocked, however, do not track provides a bit more in this sense. Beyond that? Yattee blocks 100% of Youtube ads + sponsorships (I personally do not have an issue with sponsorships, but YouTube can eat it with their ads), Apollo does not show ads for Reddit, etc. (Note that Apollo is the absolute best way to view Reddit on the internet. period.)

I suspect Apple will improve things in the future. Media/News companies have attempted to vilify Apple by saying they are 'getting into the ad business', however I suspect that Apple will (as usual) take a user centric approach with expanding their ad business. I am absolutely not the person to defend Apple 24/7, however their privacy practices have been great.
I was just thinking more about this but wouldn’t a rotational detonation engine impart torque and so spin up a space craft?
> Honestly ultrabook vendors should just start soldering memory if thickness really is an issue

They already do that

> And I know of no one who ever upgraded their laptop RAM

That doesn't mean those people doesn't exists. Actually I recently bought a 8GB SO-DIMM module so I can have a little more breathing room. After I replace the module I owuld have 12Gb RAM. If I could replace both modules I would did it, but 1 IS soldered 4Gb module and I can do nothing with it. An I have T440 sitting next to me which was upgraded to 8Gb because it's default 4Gb is not... much usable in 2022, along with 5400RPM HDD, which of course was replaced to SSD too.

EDIT:

> still just standard DDR right? Just a different connector?

Standard DDR chips. It's a different connector which allows for a faster modules to be used, because a current SO-DIMM has too much too long lanes which are very succeptible for interference:

>> More specifically, RAM speeds greater than 6400 MT/s are not possible with the current standard. This ceiling is becoming a problem on very high-end laptops and workstations while most consumer-level laptops have yet to reach the limit. Naturally, more laptops will hit the ceiling in the years to come as RAM speeds become faster and faster.

>> It’s worth noting that CAMM utilizes the same DRAM ICs as found on SODIMM modules but with a different interface to the PCB. Thus, it is this interface that makes CAMM special and the heart of the patents under Dell.

You can read about it here: https://www.pcworld.com/article/693366/dell-defends-its-cont...
The case was an exercise in nostalgia. He mentioned laptops he saw as a child and couldn't afford. Therefore, he wanted to make something similar.
I’m curious what you’re distinguishing here. To me a type system and a contract system are identical concepts with different descriptions.

It seems like you might be highlighting the structural typing aspects of TypeScript’s type system versus nominal or concrete types in many others, but that’s been clear for most TS usage for since well before `satisfies` so I’m not sure if my interpretation is right.

It is a very dangerous and naive game to

1) 'Inflation adjust' asset prices (if you think the average stock-holder has anywhere near the spend patterns of the CPI basket, boy howdy do I have something to tell you about home ownership and income inequality: rent is 33% of the CPI bucket and that's an 'imputed cost' for the vast majority of stock-holders who own their homes)

2) Think 7.5% in 2 years is a 'bad return'

The title should be TikTok (like Google, Meta and other ad companies) now too tracks you across the web.

Side question: uBlock Origin + Brave should be enough for this type of tracking, right?
We couldn't be further apart in many ways, but in being 'fallen' from what we could have been... yeah, we're strangely indistinguishable. Thanks for your reply, it's appreciated.
It's safe to assume that most nuclear propositions are based upon unrealistic best case scenarios that won't stand up to the scrutiny of reality, and that all solar propositions have been treated incredibly harshly and conservatively and the solar solution will be completely underestimated.

There is a massive bias in the field in favor of nuclear and against solar, and this shows in every single prediction made over the past 15-20 years. The EIA would uncritically put out numbers for "advanced nuclear" that were unbeliever rosy for a tech that had never been built. And at the same time, use out of date costs for solar, and the assumption that solar would stay at the old prices and never improve in price.

Or you will see peer reviewed papers in nuclear that assume ridiculous rosy solutions, that make it all the way through to publication without those rosy assumptions being challenged. For example, using nuclear in remote areas, but it using the actual capacity factor of that sort of system, 40-50%, and instead assuming that the price is coming from using every last bit of electricity at all time. In contrast all the modeling around solar always picks the most conservative estimates, because of the unrealistic hyper criticism of solar, which leads to even the most rosy of solar predictions being underestimated of solar.

Similarly, "concerns" about land or energy density are not realistic concerns, but mere political talk used to delay delay delay as long as possible the obvious solution that solar will be a cornerstone of our energy future, from 40%-70% of most countries' energy.

But if you actually are interested in the land usage, it's a question that has been studied to death. NREL is usually a good source, but one caution is to look at the date of any publication, and realize that if it's more than a year old, a lot of the data will be out of date. Here's a 2013 report on land use:

> What this idea does, that Russia cannot use a tactical nuke in Ukraine because of the principle of a necessary retaliation by the U.S., is negate the strategic advantage of having nukes in the first place thus rendering Russia at the mercy of U.S. interests around the world.

But that's the thing: nuclear weapons cannot be allowed to provide a strategic advantage in a conventional war of conquest, or they would be used. Russia using a nuke in a war on conquest would set a terrible precedent that cannot be allowed to stand. If they can do it with Ukraine, they can do it with Moldova, and then they can do it with any other country they choose to attack. If they have no retaliation to fear, they have no reason to hold back anymore.

I don't think NATO can afford not to retaliate in some manner. How, I don't know, but doing nothing will effectively reward the offensive use of nuclear weapons, which means it will happen more often.
Makes for a great (cover) band name
I was so hoping it was an article on rockets. Sad.
By the way, I am reading and replying not using desktop, but using Android phone :-)

But you are right -- modern desktops are using a GPU heavily. For worse or best(10-15 years ago everything worked without GPU help and compositors. Was not as fancy looking).

P.S. I like how HN works on mobile. And how lightweight it is. Made by real hacker wizards, of long lost arcane knowledge of the webcraft!
Yes. I remember how they said "he cant do self driving, people will die", and then he did self driving and people lost their heads. Plus the Lidar thing and plowing into huge obvious stationary objects.

Tesla robot moves like Asimo, very static "I have poop in my pants" walk. Little inverse kinematics, mostly looks like preprogrammed/pre learned moves that work only on known flat surface. Boston Dynamics Atlas it is not.
The CIA didn't need to do anything: Bigfoot, Loch Ness, Yeti, all sorts of mysterious / conspiracy theories just propagate on their own and at times because they're fun to imagine as real.
I agree, I wish there was more incentive for developers (especially on the front end side!) to not install every package under the sun and instead be a little less "fancy" or aim for satisfying the 90% rather than the 100%.
I'm not sure "stupid" is the right word for me. "Extortionate" is closer but not right either.
Ask HN: Did they rename StableDiffusionPipeline to just DiffusionPipeline?
Code's all fucked up now, nothing's runnig. I notice the __init__.py file in diffusers now only has a reference to DiffusionPipeline and not stable diffusion pipeline? Wtf?

Haha. I’ve been reading this site for 12 years or whatever and never realized their was karma to be had!

It hit me while reading my 47th write up on todo apps one of the best features of the HN audience is deep thinking on somewhat random topics. Sometimes only tangentially related to tech. Of course, bullet journaling was discussed which I’ve always dismissed it as a possibility because my aforementioned handwriting legibility issue. Figured I throw a dart and see if anyone had thoughts beyond what a trainer at a gym might say (slow down and check you form, which is good advice). Given the audience, the link between ADHD and handwriting, it seemed like the perfect venue. Also, I want to try that kindle scribble when it comes out.
What happens if you nuke ukraine even if I dont surrender it?
It’s probably less who he reads, than how much he writes, and on top of that who reads him. By the latter I mean partially that he likely gets good feedback, but moreso that if you know your audience, have generally been rewarded for writing for them, and have a credible belief they’ll read the next thing, you’re going to aim high and be serious about self-criticism & improvement.
> This is hilariously hand-wavey of the complexity and strikes at my frustrations between how most IT engineers see the world vs how real-world engineers do.

This has become glaringly obvious after starting to learn how aviation works and working on getting a PPL. If you know about this tech, it's interesting to ask software engineers to invent something like ILS and see what they come up with. There's a tendency to both underestimate what is needed AND overengineer the solution.
Oh wow, terribly sad.
Blue and red are the maxima but chloropyll does absorb green light too - just less of it (and possibly less efficiently). The article claims "[plants] absorb only about 90% of the green photons." which seems to be a typo and should be absorb 10% or reflect 90%. I'm having great difficulty obtaining complete absorption spectra from the literature - nobody seems to have bothered investigating since the 1950s (https://sci-hub.se/https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/cr60147a...) with most modern papers seemingly content with declaring the red/blue maxima and not giving the full range.

The paper I linked shows nonzero absorption for greenish wavelengths approaching 10% towards yellow - which would marry with my interpretation of the article's typo.
They should only be rebated if they come with an unconditional 10 year warranty and no features that depend on software running elsewhere. Otherwise it's just a handout to xiaomi to create landfill.

Also scooters aren't the only compact mobility option. Trifold bikes are about as portable. They also have the ability to emergency brake without tipping you face first into the pavement.
I think I need an ELI5 on that.
MAD is the only way. The current powers are just too weak to enforce it. Ukraine shutdown its nuclear arsenal because of russia and the us. The US should, if it had any balls or was worthy of trust, declare that any nuclear attack on ukraine will be seen as a war declaration to the US.

The situation in Ukraine only shows the world that non proliferation is a stupid gamble.

Imo, the laurentians area (ottawa/quebec) political class basically hates the rest of the country because we represent their parochial origins, and so they figure they can just import new constituents who can be more easily bribed or with special protections for their money, as a way to keep themselves in power, without having to listen to the constituents they imagine themselves as having transcended and left-behind. Something similar is likely true in other countries with these bases as well.

I can't believe that I can say without an ounce of hyperbole that our representatitives made a deal with the devil, and now they have communist party secret police bases in their cities.
It's actually getting worse than better. Newrelic one is super confusing and the new pricing made us nope out of there and adopt datadog for both metrics and apm. The interface is so much better.
