What’s obtuse is thinking that Congress hid the power to restructure the energy mix of the country in a provision giving the EPA power to require particular kinds of pollution control equipment.

To be sure, there’s a lot of legitimate debate over the meaning of Supreme Court decisions. But a chunk of it is simply not undertaken in good faith. It is made to seem like a debate because one side simply doesn’t like the implications of things that are obviously true, such as “Congress hasn’t yet passed major laws addressing climate change” or “the Constitution doesn’t say anything about abortion.”

And I’m not speaking out of partisanship here. The US is simply extreme among developed nations at how creatively our Supreme Court reads our Constitution and laws. The Europeans don’t just read sweeping new provisions into decades-old laws. The EHCR, for example, has repeatedly declined to find a right to same-sex marriage or abortion in the EU Convention of human rights (because those rights plainly are not in there).

The US is more like second-tier democracies such as India or Bangladesh, where high court judges will just dl whatever they want with only tenuous support in the constitution or laws.

On the other side, inventors are going to invent anyway for the sake of it and to have something to sell. They could be outspent and out marketed by established companies and end up working for them. Similar dynamic to startup entrepreneurs which get acquihired by an incumbent.

On a pedantic note, you are believing in the expertise of those who told you to be skeptical.

Socrates strikes again!

Edit: Not sure why all the downvotes. The point I’m making is that even “don’t just trust peoples ideas” is itself an idea, and that almost all ideas are inherited from prior generations in some form or another. Socrates is the person most famous for popularizing skepticism - we didn’t invent this concept recently, and we believe in it mostly because those we respect told us to (somewhat ironically)

Yeah, trying to use the Quest 2 for work yielded a similar experience for me, but I had some different issues. Hand tracking worked fine. Like you i felt that resolution was too low and it felt really nauseous when I’m perfectly fine playing dozens of other VR games
Which image/video are you referring to? As far as I can tell, the colors are not used to represent race, but to convey different kinds of information. For example, in Figure 1 and 3 of the paper, the color indicates different points in time. In the video, the colors indicate different motion generation methods. I would not classify "orange", "blue" and "purple" as Caucasian, but if you want even more colors, you can have a look at the original paper where color coding was used to differentiate between different skinning methods (Figure 2).

Ask HN: What is this aversion to Rust on online forums about?
I recently posted on HN about my new app and mentioned that I used Rust to make it.

There were quite a few comments in a tone like I've offended their mother because I said the word "Rust".

What is it about?

I've never seen anything like this regarding other tool/programming language...
that's was probably the intention behind this post...
> Wonder what the original author intended unused space for

My guess is it is padding so that the class pointer is on an alignment boundary.
Let's not break causality by observing non-local hidden variables.
The physics behind modern VLSI was known to something like 8 sigmas of certainty before it was designed into devices. A lot of medical science, on the other hand, comes from one study with a p-value of 0.05 that didn't replicate when another lab tried it.

Science is having confidence in the former. Scientism is having confidence in the latter.
It’s also just a sign of how broken the system is. These companies didn’t contribute anything to the creation of opus. The codec would have still existed since it was designed explicitly to avoid existing patents.
“Made in America” comes up a lot, then when it comes time to needing Americans for the work, these factories either downsize, close, or just move to some faraway country again.

Then all that’s left is another pile of rust and a trail of tax credits…

Regular iron-clad dedication to exercise cures many ills.

For me, exercise kills my appetite for garbage food, cures me of snaking.

The "feel good" hormones - endorphin, seratonin, oxytocin, dopamine - are released during exercise, and continue long after you are done exercising. These hormones life you out of a depressed mood or level out a too high mood and de-stresses and de-anxieties people. Those times are when one wants to drink, eat, smoke, whatever. Not everyone, maybe, but a lot of people start with bad behaviors when stressed or anxious. So exercise helps you level out your mood and prevents stress eating, stress smoking, stress drinking.
There is a theory that sometimes stuff gets through the gut wall into the blood stream. This can cause for some allergies.

I wouldn't be very surprised to learn that fungae somehow survive the immune system and their ongoing battle creates cancer.

For my own experiences... my depression is linked to sugar somehow, and green veggies seem to cause some mental bouts where I don't want to exist. There's almost always 4 days in between ingestion and symptom. (I found notes from 2016 but only made the connection around 2018 and have been testing around with different foods after that)
Though you may joke, I 100% feel its likely someone from the CCP is going to try hacking someone’s account through social engineering. Which makes me wonder will the US Army store top secret files on their workspace.
I am extremely lacking in willpower, but I was able to greatly reduce my drinking thanks to health issues and having a young child.

I was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation. Turns out that for me (and, my cardiologist said, for most people) alcohol is a big aggravator for AF.

I have a young son, and not having my AF under control would mean seeing less of how his life turns out.

For my brain, that is enough to flip the switch, and I was able to use it to greatly dial back my drinking.

I think of AF as a gift. Getting on top of it means getting good cardio exercise, eating sensible and avoiding alcohol. All things we should want to do anyway - but AF forces one to actually do it.
The hell are you talking about? I used the same phrasing both times.
All the super safe(tm) Rust code to wrap system("ls -l --block-size=M")
Previously all of the Army's 32 commands ran separate email systems, so 2 is a big improvement.
I don't use axios often, but if I need to intercept requests, or set global headers I always need to wrap my fetch function and creating my own "axios". Axios can do these things without hassle.

VRChat has a concept of “friends plus” worlds. You can make a world where the only people who are allowed to enter are your friends or the friends of anyone who joins.

The good version of VRChat socialization is looking at your friends list and seeing who’s online and joining off them. You’ll meet your transitive friends of friends and expand your social circle over time. As long as you don’t befriend children or assholes you should have a pretty good time.

The hard part is how do you get the first VRChat friends. Probably you need someone who already knows you to be the first node in your social network.
>>> Yes, I get desktop Excel but I have never had to use any feature in it I couldn't get in Sheets (I use sheets a lot outside of work).

>> "it works for me" gives very little information about the software you're using.

> I don't think so. It says that the software satisfies the basic requirements of its target audience, and gives a hint as to who that audience is.

No, not really. What's the "target audience"? The GGP certainly doesn't say, and wrote a comparison that is meaningless unless you're already very familiar with the software (transforming it into a statement about the particular user), and perhaps misleading if you don't. I could say the exact same thing as him, except about MS Paint, e.g.

Yes, I get desktop Photoshop but I have never had to use any feature in it I couldn't get in MS Paint (I use MS Paint a lot outside of work).

Does that say MS Paint is a powerful program, or that I'm an amateur user? You can't really say unless you already know the programs, since I didn't say anything about the kinds of graphics work I actually do.

The fairest solution is a carbon tax. Frequent flyers would pay more because they emit more carbon.
sadly, I suffer migraines when I ingest plant fats. Except for cocos fat, which isn't very sustainable even if organic - it has been transported around the world before it gets in my diet - and usually rain-forest has been killed to plant cocos.
This is a very useful metaphor. Thanks!
> For MTG and its ilk, you can buy a card instead of open packs.

That's false. The manufacturer (Wizards of the Coast) does not sell individual cards. You have to gamble and buy random packs.

You're describing buying specific cards from people who have done the gambling already by buying packs and opening them.
I'm staying out of it.
The vast, vast majority of the posts on there are for iOS development. macOS barely gets mentioned.
Wine on Windows is technically interesting, even if others might argue that it's pointless. At the very least, these are also good tests of how much compatibility the layers provide.

There's also WineVDM that actually solves a "need" to run 16bit Windows programs on 64bit Windows. I've considered using it for retro programming without leaving a modern OS, although DosBox may be a more reliable option. Now, if Win32s can get to work on top of WineVDM, that would be funny.

> Now, it's possible to argue that writing performant software is not important.

The quote I'm arguing against is "I can articulate how all the data I use is laid out in memory." Indeed, writing performant code is not important, most of the time. It is critically important a small amount of the time (actual percentages heavily dependent on the type of software), and yes, in those times, understanding the architectural realities of the hardware is somewhere on the list of things you need to understand to do so, just below a solid understanding of complexity analysis, a wide knowledge of useful data structures, proper design of queries and use of indexes (if relevant), etc. A good software engineer does not say "I always know exactly how all my data is laid out in memory", they say "I know when and how to care about that, and the rest of the times I ignore it." Just like they do with many, many other concerns. Anything else is just premature optimization. The most important problem solving skill by far is knowing what you can safely ignore.
Start with "Programming -- Principles and Practice Using C++" from Bjarne Stroustoup.

It is a good book to learn C++ the modern way, instead of a couple of appendixes in what is otherwise a C programming book.
The point of the patent was less about ensuring people invent, and more about ensuring people invent in the open so other people can (eventually) build on it. The thought goes, that without patents, people will be super secretive about their inventions and the general public will never find out how they work, and thus nobody would ever be able to improve on other people's inventions.
The press release says its only for controlled unclassified information, so ideally they wouldn't store top secret docs
Nothing about processor core layout is easily understandable and to have the insight you just gave needs experience with the actual process. Therefore this question by its nature is not dumb.

It was popular for Amiga gamers, yes. It’s the Fifa of the early 90s.
Doesn’t mean literally everyone will known it :)

Although a more serious comparison with Fifa (in terms of visuals and gameplay) could be made by considering I Play 3D soccer: https://www.mobygames.com/game/atari-st/i-play-3-d-soccer/sc...
Blows my mind what they managed to achieve technically on an Amiga and even a C64! Too bad the gameplay is mediocre
Ask HN: Did you learn any new skill during the pandemic years (2020 – now)?
The pandemic year(s) were tough. Being locked in and all. But still some people made use of the adverse situation and concentrated on building new skills to change jobs or careers.

If you were someone who did something of the sort,

1. What skill did you develop (not limited to technical, maybe you started exercising and got good at it)?

2. Why did you concentrate on that skill?

3. What resources came handy in that skill building?

If your plan is to maintain decades of backwards compatibility with software from thousands of third parties, it's going to involve maintaining some originally-undocumented behaviors that people exploited. That's what the wine developers got themselves into willingly, and it's what the Windows devs are increasingly shirking.

Sounds almost more like extortion.

I've found Musk fanboys to only be worse at downvoting / flagging any criticism than Apple fanboys whenever you mention privacy is just PR BS peddled while they're building their ad empire.
I went to an exhibit of an excavation of an old (4th/5th century) settlement in the Adriatic and it detailed every single skeleton pulled out of the different cemeteries. The interesting part for me was that almost every single one of them had bad teeth -- caries and periodontitis.
Others have mentioned IntMap, and in a more general way, I'd recommend treating those standard classes as a general-purpose implementation that should be replaced be specialized implementations -- to improve performance, memory footprint etc. -- WHERE NEEDED (avoid premature optimization!), and forget about it in the remaining 99% of cases where a HashMap contains less than 100 entries.

It's true that C/C++/Rust don't have this problem because they are optimized for this. OTOH if the problem you are solving is more suitable to garbage collection than manual or static-analysis based memory management then Java's high-performance GC will shine.
You said "... if something works in China ..." You never said anything about invented in.

The Quest is definitely a sweet spot that is possible today technologically, economically. But it’s not the sweet spot that makes humans want to use it all the time. Otherwise it would have been far more successful imho.

The sweet spot I’m talking about is probably just not possible right now. Kind of like how good multi-touch no-keyboard smartphones were not quite there in 2004.
Some years ago I setup postman tests and run it with cli during deployment tests.

> We collectively changed our mind because younger geologists adopted the continental drift theory.

I like this quote by Max Planck, which applies not only to science but also politics and technology:

> a new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it

As for the original argument in the article, the problem is where to draw the boundary. If you want to e.g. get to the bleeding edge of Physics research you can't question everything people have discovered along the way or you wouldn't get anywhere in your lifetime. Believing in experts is not necessarily bug, it's also a feature. Because that's how we transmit knowledge across generations in an efficient way. The hard part is not the questioning, it's figuring out what's worth questioning and what's not.

reddit is actually quite open, much more so than twitter or facebook or tiktok. I think a lot of people equate getting kicked out of a subreddit as kicked off reddit. If your comments aren't welcome in a subreddit you are quite free to form your own sub and say (almost) whatever you like, as long as you don't flat out commit fraud, something illegal, or spout straight up nazi shit.
