Not all methods of using energy require releasing heat to space. Solar energy uses heat and light that comes in from space and converts some portion of it to useful work, reducing the amount of heat that needs to be released to space.

That also ignores the fact that technology gets more efficient. A laptop today uses 50W and is thousands of times more powerful than a roomful of computers 50 years ago that used thousands of watts. It’s doing much more and releasing a fraction of the heat.
The fix for the noncontiguous addition puzzle is to change

filled = to & mask

to

filled = to | ^mask

In other words, to OR in 1-bits so the carry can travel across the irrelevant part of the register.

Subtraction is similar:

But for subtraction you want to AND in 0-bits so the borrow can travel.
In fact, no. Unicode is rigorously backwards compatible. When Unicode 15.0.0 was released this year, the only thing I needed to do with my Unicode library was update the data tables that indicated the categories and combining classes for the newly added characters. Once a character is added, it’s there forever. This is part of why, for example, languages written in different descendants of the Brahmic script treat vowels differently, because they meant to preserve round-trip compatibility with pre-Unicode character conventions so in Thai, most vowels are treated as separate graphemes from the consonant to which they’re attached while in Devanagari, the corresponding vowels are treated as combining (and spacing) diacritics. The one place where Unicode chose to break backwards compatibility with pre-Unicode was its most controversial choice, Han unification, where the various incompatible 16-bit character encodings of Han characters (Japanese, Korean, and THREE Chinese encodings) were replaced with a single unified set that eliminated the duplications between the three sets. But within the Unicode history, I think there was one breaking change in the 90s that was fixing an error (I don’t care to dig up the history for a HN comment), but otherwise, any text encoded with a Unicode version prior to 15.0.0 will be interpreted identically in the current Unicode.

(I had someone ask for the possibility of being able to choose older versions of Unicode in my library to handle his use case with clusters in a terminal app, but on further investigation to what he was trying to do, I discovered that it was a misunderstanding about how grapheme clusters work and in fact would not do what he wanted it to do.)

They're not collectivist societies. South Korea in particular is effectively more American than America. From shopping-mall centric kpop to double eyelid surgery, no country has so thoroughly absorbed Western standards as SK has, and then some. Japan slightly less so, but not by much. Even China today is ruggedly individualistic with much less social trust than you'd find in Europe or the US. If anything funnily enough as some people have pointed out, countries like Britain now look like Japan did 20 years ago, they've if anything leapfrogged us at our own game.

I've traveled a lot, in particular Asia and I would struggle to name one country that actually deserves to be called collectivist.

In other countries? Either the government goes further into debt to support the elderly or they return to elderly moving in with their kids to support them.

Singapore is facing this. I can remember the exact numbers but there were 8 working age people for every senior in the 70’s and by 2040 it’ll 2 to 1.

So basically either younger folks face higher taxes or the elderly do without.

> I’d be curious to hear what reasons you have to use Jzazbz

I needed a color space for teaching, so I'm using it to kludge wide-gamut hue linearity onto CAM16UCS. I wish I knew of something better to do.

Backstory is, I've long struggled to find community of interested and discussion, around the idea of transformatively improving science education content by collaboratively applying vastly greater-than-usual domain expertise. I thought to troll with a worked example, and chose "color". Even though "I'm building hard thing solo, because I really don't want to build such things solo?!?"... sigh. Color is pervasively taught in early primary, but with such poor content and outcomes, that foundational confusion persists even among first-tier physical-sciences graduate students. So: might color be taught more clearly by emphasizing spectra, in early primary? With web interactives? It seemed a question to explore.

So I needed a perceptual color space optimized for learning color. A rather different objective than usually drives color space design. Computability doesn't matter, as small lookup tables suffice. But noticeable features from eyeballing the space should be "yes, that's color perception", not "oh, no, that's an artifact of the model - try to ignore that aspect". The usual art/science education "one part careful, nine+ parts misleading bogosity" just doesn't end well. CAM16UCS is generally good at avoiding "that... doesn't look plausible". Better than other UCSs I skimmed. But... hue gets curvy near its edges, especially badly in blue. Jzazbz regrettably fails the "space looks plausible" test, but is wide-gamut, and has nice hue linearity. So I'm using it to kludge greater linearity onto CAM16UCS, between sRGB gamut and visible boundary. Which aids understandably coupling space to spectra.

Getting from daylight to banana to spectra and apparent spectra and color space, provides a lot of opportunity to get things wrong. And from interactive draw-a-spectra. Swapping in Jzazbz for end-to-end HDR physical units provides the warm fuzzy of sanity check.

Thus three.js intensities in nits, and an opportunity for Sunday punning.

It's just a silly niche use case, rather than advanced use, but modulo burn out, I'll be back at it tomorrow. Also... there's an order-of-magnitude luminance "why don't you see a sky full of stars" interactive somewhere on my infinite todo list, so getting perceptual luminace right had additional motivation. Though that will have to handle meso and scotopic perception... sigh. Appreciated your comments.
Because at one time it was effective, then someone created IR optics and at least for heat generating/storing objects the effectiveness of camo dropped significantly.

Now camo is still effectiveness, say against poor soldiers or one's who had their division leader sell that equipment off to make a little extra income. But you better understand your enemy well, or just putting up camo and then huddling together in a group with no further security will get you killed all at once.
I don't believe in good or bad wrt stuff like this. You're welcome to try to discourage it, but success would depend crucially on how many people really are not "that way." I don't think I'd take that bet, personally, but it's possible I've lived in a strange sub-world and have met unusual people.
> Any type of relationship is inherently risky.

To paraphrase Donald Rumsfeld, there are known unknowns and unknown unknowns. Usually, when we challenge ourselves, we extrapolate from, and build previously understood models/variables or slight variations thereof in order to expand our knowledge. From this we form an expanded model that takes us even farther before. That is how we form calculated risks. These are our known unknowns. This is the kind of scenario that is conducive to challenging oneself should the potential rewards outway the potential losses.

However, there are situations where you have no ability to craft a reasonable risk model, due to ignorance or, whether one is aware of it or not, faulty information. These experiential black boxes are built on hidden or heavily abstracted variables that aren't replicable or controllable. However well-defined the goal, the actual payoff is elusive. The costs/losses can't be known until after fact if at all, by which point one may have already suffered them. One can only assess the range of opportunity costs concerning the undertaking of the decision or not. Dating and/or marriage in general — but especially in the last decade or so — fall into this category.

> You WILL get hurt by some of them too, but that is the price to pay for the high rewards of successful relationships (which can form online).

Perseverance may be a necessary condition to find a high quality relationship, but isn't a sufficient one [1]. There's a point where such a pursuit becomes self-defeating masochism. Losses don't automatically stop at 0 and we don't get our time back. "Why risk it" is a necessary question to ask, because if you can't answer it, then it isn't wise to undertake a process that can make one more poorer in time, money, self-satisfaction, and health than when one first started.

[1] That's to say nothing of whether such a relationship will continue to be a high quality one after obtaining it.
To follow demand immediately, natural gas is great, but what about overcommit and let market to use for something (like hydrogen generation)?
Yeah I found Java really needs full ide support and yes that absolutely qualifies as a blizzard where I'm cuddling up to vim bindings on whatever the team chose for their ide. Eclipse wasn't all bad last time I did this but I'm someone who doesn't enjoy Java as much as some other languages in part for this reason - people who disagree with that aren't wrong.

But I've also never tried to use vim as a java ide and it could be great for all i know..?

That sounds pretty cool. Although is it common for people to make friends in the same building and hang out? Or are you super social compared to average? I am guessing you just chat to people in corridors?
I think white space in file names was possible in Unix long before Windows. IIRC, VMS and (probably TOPS-10/20) did not allow white space. It may have also been possible to include spaces in DOS file names, but it’s long enough ago, that I wouldn’t be completely sure of it.
This. Would love to see Matrix, Signal and others adopting/directly using keybase.
Generally agree but OP seems to talk about the US so it's fine? Also, universal availability for oil is worse than natural gas, but easier to transport without LNG equipment.
I think the military want more of a guarantee they'll have power 24x7. They want better uptime than the public grid.

>Google public transport directions show me it's 2x as slower than cars, but 4x faster than walking from the airport to Sargada Familia. ... So I'd say Barcelona has great public transport, based on this limited analysis.

That doesn't sound all that great to me. Here in Tokyo, driving is generally not significantly faster than public transit, though of course it can vary a lot depending on your two endpoints. And of course, if you add in time to find parking, that usually makes driving very unattractive (though this doesn't affect taxis of course, so those can be attractive for some routes if you have tons of money you want to waste because they're not cheap).
For underlying security, of course. The point is that the ability to also tokenize a real physical asset opens a world of possibilities.

Can you take a collaterized loan on a share of your home from anyone in the world, if you have only the government database?

Can we have a "decentralized AirBnB" where you have can the NFT represents who have access to the house with "just a government database"?

Can you pool the resources from thousands of strangers to form a "REIT DAO", who then go on to invest on a scale that is only accessible for the Vanguards and Blackrocks around?

This would be simply too risky to be even considered by people if we constrain ourselves only to digital assets, but if we can have a system where the institutions work as a safeguard, why not leverage it?
WFH is only going to make this worse. A top place people spend long amounts of time with others is work. Work is in top 2 places people make new romantic partners, marriage partners, and friends.

There's nothing on the horizon to replace it as a socializing force. Even if you WFH those ~8 hours a day, 40 days of week of sitting alone can't be made up for by socializing outside of that time, something you could already do before WFH.

I'm not saying you should therefore be forced to go to the office. Rather I'm just pointing out WFH will arguably make this worse, maybe not for your specific situation, but in aggregate across the population, if WFH is the new normal then we'll need to social institutions to fix the lack of socialization opportunities that are being discarded.
A quote from a prof in college (that he perhaps wouldn’t say today for fear that it might be misinterpreted):

“You don’t understand evolution unless you understand how contraception could cause overpopulation.”

I do wonder if this falling population in developed countries trend will last more than 1-2 more generations. We’d better have the rockets ready to go by 2100.
Is there something like this for like mid-90s Unix X-Windows or something along those lines?
It depends. This culture has resulted in some unergonomic and impractical APIs that fall apart when applied to firmware or non-trivial examples.

The rust language is (IMO) a perfect match for embedded. The culture you're looking at isn't universal, and can be ignored.
I strongly favor interest over money.

A few years back I was offered a job at a place that was nice, fine, but ultimately boring. I turned it down because in spite of the substantial pay increase, I just could not picture myself being interested in the work.

Last year, I accepted a job that was a bit less than the aforementioned job (though a step up from where I was). I am super happy. I work with great people, doing interesting work, and get to dip my toes into a lot of cool stuff.

If the first place had offered me a pile more money or something, I’m still not sure I’d have taken it. It was just not the right thing.

Money can get you a lot, but it is not an indicator or substitute for fulfillment.
Once you’ve met your basic needs, optimize for personal fulfillment and happiness.
Show HN:Are you looking to furnish a space for a specific budget? We can help!
Hi,

I'm searching for honest feedback about my new service. I am trying to help people with furnish. Basically, I give an online shopping list with direct links to online sources for every product local to purchase furniture. I also negotiate with the suppliers for a lower price.

Any feedback (web content, the business itself, etc. ) is acceptable and important!

Thank you for your valuable opinion.
> I meant what you’re saying is normal and great;

> Not a single comment on HN in last few years encourage hard work and mentally exhausting yourself.

I am astounded that not pushing yourself to mental exhaustion is what you consider anti-work. If I'm not willing to abuse my own body for the good of a company I'm destined to be lethargic and smoke weed all day? What the hell kind of scale is that?

Pushing yourself to mental exhaustion, is stupid and pointless. It's been thoroughly studied, by the time you've hit mental exhaustion you are not doing anywhere near your best work. Hell I've seen it myself. I noticed my code quality and code output fell drastically the more exhausted I became. I can not stress enough how much better you are not doing that.

Looking through your own post history I see clear signs of trying to work while exhuasted.

> it takes me forever to make anything with code. Like hours to do something simple.

This was literally me until I learned to not push myself so hard. I had the exact same problem and it turns out for me at least trying to learn programming while exhausted did me no favors. I worked all day came home and tried to learn and struggled the exact same way you are. It wasn't until I was able to learn more during the day while not exhausted that it really started to click with me.

You more then anyone need to really reconsider what I posted earlier. Please for you own health.
I agree with your starting expression a lot. I worry that this reflection on how we've been muddied though shades what is valuable.

Microsoft used to ask, in their ad campaigns, "Where do you want to go?" There was a semi-symbootic relationship, part machine, part man, working together, with users still expected to be prosumers, being invested in their tech, & working it, setting it up, customizing it, exploring it. The personal computer was a blank slate we got to push forward, each of us. And yes by huge contrast, the modern tech world is much more pre-set up, easier to adopt, and most of it runs on far off clouds we have no real control into.

We've arrived at a much stricter consumerism, with prebaked applications, with less ability to explore & push frontiers. A couple hours of poking around will probably expose almost all capabilities of an app or network today. Fewer & fewer systems enable maturation of the user into an expert.

There was a great submission today, Maggie Appleton talking about Programming Portals, ehich talks some to how we might start to open windows between the glossy, pre-baked GUIs that define modern consumer computing, and a more empowered realm that begins to let users Under the Hood[2]-- another fine submission today!

There's also the Malleable Systems Collective which very much is about reempowering users.

Im less concerned with the bad. It'll sort itself out, if we can reemerge a good. But weust envision & create new good computing, that befits this much more connected time we are arriving at.

In Masahiro Sakurai[0]'s series of YouTube talks[1] on game development, he specifically mentions how he has to tell Japanese developers to always name files and source code functions in English, just in case they need to work with an overseas team.

Yes, it is possible to do everything 100% in Japanese, with the only English being the keywords of whatever programming system you are working with. However, that is more the exception than the rule, especially in larger teams that need to work overseas.

Probably some laws, but not most. A lot of laws and the most important ones are about preventing people from hurting others or damaging their property. Those aren't about moralizing private actions that don't impact anyone else.

"To invade a country means to enter it by force with an army."

"If you say that people or animals invade a place, you mean that they enter it in large numbers, often in a way that is unpleasant or difficult to deal with."

"to invade someone's privacy"

seems uncontroversial to me. Maybe you need remedial english lessons :)
Same with wind energy: wind is ultimately created by solar energy heating the atmosphere, so wind turbines are simply removing some energy from the atmosphere and converting it to useful work.
I like this article and I'm terrified of actually following through with the advice. I have multiple short tenures on my resume due to undiagnosed ADHD. Now I know I have it I'm making some small improvements but I can't see being honest about it being anything more than a massive red flag. Do employers actually care enough about a single employee to consider these things?
Calling Hokkien unwritten is a bit of a stretch. I grew up watching Hokkien shows from Taiwan, and the subtitles have always used plain chinese characters. I'm not sure about Taiwan, but in Singapore and Malaysia, where the chinese community speaks a slightly different dialect, everybody can read using chinese characters just fine, even the elderly who can't really speak mandarin chinese.

"In some cases, farmers established annual contracts with urban families. Called tsuke-tsubo, these agreements stipulated that a farmer could collect all of the household’s night soil for a year in exchange for a certain amount of rice as a down payment. So the residents would save their shimogoe for their particular farmer."

it may be a little obtuse but i find a rather interesting parallel between this social recession and the open ended presupposition of the National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party in the context of leninist revolutionary theory.

the party has repeatedly insisted socialism will triumph 'eventually' without much allusion to anything but historic tendency, however i wonder if US capitalisms hyper-individualism in the throughs of social recession may be the elusive driving force that fulfills the parties prophetic declaration. that, as many more find themselves shut out and alone the notion of collaborative public forum itself could prove enticing enough to walk back some of the most egregious excesses of neoliberalism in the 21st century
There was a mandate to stop moving tent cities. I believe also their property was protected so that anyone that tries to move it can be charged.
