I believe one of the tenets of hacker news is responding to the best version of a comment, which I think you failed at in your pedanticism. Of course there are overlapping jurisdictions. However, again, the idea that the coasts should have control over a piece of land hundreds and hundreds of miles away that looks nothing like the coasts is undemocratic. People who inhabit a particular 'country' (used in the non nation state meaning of the term) should be able to vote on it. This is a guiding-principle, not an exact rule with feet measurements, as you've given. This is a guiding American principle in fact... we call it self-determination, and it's written in our declaration of independence.

Perhaps I was a bit concise in my comment, but your attempt at rebuttal against some restrictions that you made up is unnecessary.

The danger with letting people far away from a place hold jurisdiction over that land is that it encourages bad actors. For example, if Wyoming were truly represented proportionally then resource extraction would be freer to damage the Wyoming environment. While true Californians (for example) visit often, there are many parts of the state unseen by tourists. Those who live there may witness environmental abuses or needs particular to that area that we do not. They should forward those to their representatives, who can represent their needs. If we truly represented them proportionally, profit-motivated companies and other bad actors would be freer to mutilate the Wyoming environment as the residents would have even less of a voice.

The problem with places like California and one of the reasons for massive polarization in the state is that Cali's government is too centralized. There are many Wyomings within California (and other large, populated states) that feel unrepresented. Bad actors ruin their environment, and they are powerless to do anything because they have representation proportional to the population.

Land, landscapes, environments, and ecosystems deserve representation as well.
Egyptology is so fascinating. When I was in primary school, the teacher did a really special lesson I'll never forget. The classroom was decorated like a tomb - the windows were blacked out and the tables were arranged in a way that we had to crawl in to start the lesson. We went through puzzles and explored pyramids on the projector. When some pupils were distracted by the table tunnel, the teacher stayed in the character of an archeologist and warned them to keep away for the tunnel may collapse at any moment. Now that's teaching.
By "worked at", what exactly do you mean?
Yeah precisely. I think you’ve made the mistake of thinking we’re on opposite sides of the argument.
is it still a problem?? recently bought a switch and only plugged to the official adapter that came with it, but my first thought was “too bulky” so was wondering if I can use my M1 air USB C charger on the go instead.
Wild. I was speculating about this in 2003 on my blog. Very interesting news.

>I’ve always felt the numbers people enter into the Drake equation overly optimistic.

This may be the right way to think about it but even so you would only change the order of magnitude of the final answer which won't be 0. Given the timescales involved one would still expect a species to have either left behind structures or modified their galactic neighborhood to a degree that is detectable or would have significantly colonized large parts of the universe/galaxy by now.

Ask HN: Anarki or Racket?
For a new web-baed project, one I'm doing for fun but hope to make a success, I've pretty much decided to write it in Racket or Anarki.

Which one?

The problem domain is Lisp-y: convenient for functional programming, and made easier with macros, DSLs and/or metaprogramming.

I haven't used a proper Lisp since my programming paradigms course at Bryn Mawr many moons ago, so I don't have any strong preferences yet.

Obviously either will do the job, and Anarki is built on top of Racket.

Still, what are the pros and cons (pun intended) of each?

I'm not sure if you read the entirety of my comment, but I learned this shortly after posting and made an edit.

I'm curious about this part of your comment:

What is "the thing" you're referring to?
Interesting!
It's so funny when he says that the computer was too old to maintain so they replaced it with raspberry pi - it's weird such big thing can be controlled by something so small

My takeaways:

- From the entrance, all the way to the Grand Gallery ... it doesn't not feel like that was an intended entrance path. It gives the vibe of an auxiliary tunnel (not main path).

- It's extremely "industrial". For what historians claim to be a monument, there's not a single hieroglyphic that I saw. It was the opposite of being ornate or lavish.

- There's numerous deep groves intended to guide something large carved into the granite in many of the larger spaces (like immediately outside the Kings Chambers). Similar to what you'd find in a Steel Mill to guide large hot containers. It appears as if this was a structure used to manufacturer something (not a tomb of a pharaoh). See previous point.

Note: I'm not trying to spread rumors or create speculation. Just my observations from viewing this incredible 3D scan (much appreciation to the author for capturing this incredible marvel)
>You don't have to apply force in any different direction if you put scissors with symmetric handles in the wrong hand.

Yes! You do!

So scissors hinge on a pivot point, and they hinge in two dimensions. They mostly move in the dimension that they cut in, but they also move a little in the perpendicular dimension. And in order to bring the cutting edges closer, you move the handle ends farther away. If you're using the correct-handed scissors, doing so is easy and natural because your hand grip curls one way easily. If you then switch the same scissors to the other hand, it's hard and uncomfortable because your other hand is a mirror image and your natural hand grip curls to bring the handles closer and the cutting edges farther away.

The fact that you keep mentioning that this violates some law of physics is bonkers.
I'd ask people that know you and have experience in the field for a realistic opinion (maybe a professor/assistant/phd?). It does definitely not hurt to code all kinds of systems stuff. Try to tinker with some low-level optimization problems. You should be an excellent coder too. In our case it does help to know the JVM ecosystem, including HotSpot details.

There’s an oft-repeated complaint that they are too versatile
For years I used to buy the Levi's Vintage Clothing jeans (specifically the black wash 606s), which were made in the US, felt sturdy and would last. They discontinued them a while back and I bought dead stock for years until I just couldn't find them anymore.

Lately I've been wearing the Oni "secret denim" collection [1][2] and they're amazing. It's only been a couple of years, but they break in beautifully and feel like they'll last years. It's worth spending the extra money for something high quality that will last.

How do you separate advertisement companies and, say, entertainment companies that happen to just do product placement?

I believe where this stands is that if someone were to contribute and maintain this, then it could be part of the Zig compiler, however it is not something the Zig team themselves are planning on doing. Maybe give it a shot? I personally find the project interesting and fun but I'm not convinced that it's a good solution.
Yep. In our case we were using it for scheduling purposes and "Who is free on thursday at 2pm?" and we got very little narrowing because most people are available at least some time in the morning and some time in the evening.

We've loosely landed at just materializing the dataset into another table by calling `unnest` in a trigger and then using an index on that table.
I for one would be fine with a TPM that is on its own silicon and carrier rather than on the processor die or otherwise inside the CPU package. Then I could disable it when I don't want it working, without possibly killing my processor by doing so.

I can't figure out why other than maybe they think it would allow them to reestablish power in the labor market.

It's exactly this and actions/comments from CEOs and the Fed pretty much confirm it. When Powell said "economic pain" was necessary, he meant that mostly for the working class. Look at all the layoffs going on...

By driving up unemployment, the Fed expected “supply and demand conditions in the labor market to come into better balance over time, easing the upward pressure on wages

Ask HN: Why are customer support processes so awful?
I understand the cost effectiveness of outsourcing and paying bottom barrel wages for agents. But every time I have to deal with customer support for a big company, I come up with countless technical improvements I can’t believe they don’t implement.

• Provide an asynchronous email-like support channel.
• Sure, a real email address would get spammed, but let me kick it off from a contact page and then reply via email
• Let me upload files and screenshots
• This is asking a lot, but basic formatting for quotes or pre blocks for logs makes a world of difference
• Let me navigate the phone tree on the web and have them call me when a representative is available instead of me waiting
• Or at least give specific numbers on a web page so I can bypass the phone tree
• Provide visibility into the underlying ticketing system.
• If a customer support agent is typing up notes, let me see them. Send them in an email so I can search the text and pull up the ticket number for instance.

I’ve taken to immediately escalating all my issues with financial organizations to the CFPB since they have a process that pretty much completely satisfies my desires.

My current frustration was triggered by the Nationwide website crashing when I tried to download a policy document. Their web support team is only reachable through a phone number, so they’ve guaranteed that the vast majority of good samaritan technical people won’t go through the hoops to send them a bug report with javascript console logs or screenshots. But I can send an asynchronous message to other teams.
Signal also has a grand total of 40 employees. Keeping the application running on the various platforms takes a decent chunk of their time. Difficult development to add something like federation cannot be expected to happen quickly.
No good quality jeans is really comfortable in warm weather in my experience.
My point is client integrity and federation of servers are not related.
If they were heating the same area, then they'd have probably replaced their furnace. Europeans have been buying record numbers of air to air heat pumps this year. Even with transmission and conversion losses, their coefficient of power is high enough to use less natural gas than directly burning it would.
I'm glad more people are coming around. I just wish it was 30 years ago and we'd actually be seeing some benefits for it by now. Now it's at least 20 years out.

This effectively decides that USB-C is the final iteration of phone connectors. Nobody is going to invest in making a new one. Maybe there wasn't much room left for innovation anyway; Apple has been showing for a while that they prefer the lock-in.
Consider weekly "all hands" meetings and the concept of "psychological safety"

https://www.ccl.org/articles/leading-effectively-articles/wh...

Consider Code reviews and other ways of making feedback a regular part of the process. If you have to wait a year to get feedback that is way too long, particularly in a startup.

I like the approach to leadership that Jim Collins talks about in this book

https://www.amazon.com/Good-Great-Some-Companies-Others/dp/0...

in particular he talks about the value of having an organization where everybody from top to bottom understands the business case for the business and the futility of painting on "alignment" when the fundamentals are not in place. If you address the fundamentals that Collins talks about some of the barriers to feedback working will melt away.

I'd say that the junior -> senior transition years are best done in office. In those years, you need hands on mentorship and you build out your early network. Both are best done in person.

As I see it, once you are the senior member of the team & are expected to lead projects, the value of remote work goes up.
I have both. The main sell for Rm2 is the battery life (charge once every couple/few months in my case) and writing feel. Which yes the iPad could get a cover on it like paperlike, something like that. I'm not saying you can really compare the two, one is a "dumb" device and the other one is a full-blown computer (iPad). I also think the Rm2 drawing accuracy is better than the fatter tip on the Apple Pencil.

My use case with the Rm2 is pretty much as a scratch/drawing pad. I don't have it connected to WiFi and just have it stashed on the side, I use it once a day or two days usually to sketch something out before making it (context of software or 3d printing).
so whats the RMSE and how do we know that?
Yes, it was definitely just a fun anecdote. Your example of advertising drano to kids made me laugh, and then I remembered being the reason we bought drain cleaner in my home, which made me laugh again, so I shared it.
> legally outlaw the Apple standard.

Apple "standards" are DRM proprietary stuff, I would not dare to call it a standard.
There's also a native version, right?
SSH in the web browser is actually the best practice today. Here are some examples of why SSH in your browser actually compliments modern computing:

- An SSO-authenticated web interface, integrated with a host agent on your instances, means you don't have to manage SSH keys.

- If you just need a disposable CLI that inherits permissions from your SSO-authenticated user role, you can do that from a disposable box in a web interface after authenticating via the web interface. Google Cloud Shell is a good example.

- Cloud-native development is easier if developers can just start working on a unified environment, without having to set up & maintain a local environment. Utilizing the web browser avoids the need to consider separate tools and separate methods of network connection.

- SSH'ing to "private" instances is impossible without going through a bastion or VPN. The bastion then becomes a single point of attack, and is hard to maintain and secure. Similarly the VPN is an additional attack vector, maintenance headache, and requires client-side software, configuration, troubleshooting. Instead of deploying a bunch of bastions or setting up a VPN, if you can use the backend control plane through an SSO-authenticated API gateway, along with a backend proxy to internal networks, you can avoid bastions altogether. This is the best practice for Zero-Trust. Google Cloud IAP Proxy is a good example.

The implementation of it, with WebAssembly/WebSockets/WireGuard/DERP, may be lamentable for several reasons. But it probably (I assume?) solves problems that other SSH Web Interfaces didn't. I hate that the web browser has monopolized computing interfaces :) But in this case it seems to solve many problems.
>How will Bitcoin fix it?

The problem is theft of your funds without your consent over your unpopular political speech. Bitcoin cannot be taken from you by any third party, provided you self-custody and adequately protect your keys.

>If I buy a video card with bitcoin, but get sent a brick instead, how does "Blockchain as Arbiter" get my bitcoins back?

Unrelated to the problem being discussed, but still a problem. Unfortunately, this is not a problem unique to Bitcoin, nor a problem adequately solved by PayPal, as explained in other comments, so it's hardly a robust criticism against BTC.

Full dislcosure: I own BTC, but less than 0.5% of my net worth, I do not own it for speculative reasons, and I do not view it as an investment or store of value, only as an alternative payment network.

I have yet to find a hotel that has upgraded their lamp-mounted or bedside USB ports. This is super annoying because I typically travel with a MagSafe charger for my MBA and a USB-C to Lightning cable to charge my iPhone. I would plug in my phone next to the bed if I could, but typically end up just leaving it with my computer to charge there.

Has anyone seen a USB-C port in a hotel? I've seen that some car manufacturers are including them (sometimes in lieu of USB-A; sometimes in addition to it).
I wrote awful untyped PHP 5.6 code for many years, using CodeIgniter and a very basic editor.

Fully embracing PHPStorm, strict_types and EAInspections completely changed me as a developer. I hated them at first, just getting in the way and annoying me… But now several years later and I fully credit them for revitalising my career and giving me a newfound love for coding.
Ah, so even though the rest of title IX applies, admissions does not.
I don't know why, this makes me a bit sad. You can sort of feel a game engine when you're playing a game. The GTA trilogy lost a lot when they did their remastering project with a different engine. Although I'm sure it can be done well.

StarCraft remastered was done really well, but I believe they built on top of their existing engine.

> [removed] the playing cards players can earn that depict pinup art of Geralt's various sexual partners. The system has been criticized over the years for treating women's bodies as a reward for player progression.

This pin-up card collection of your sex partners was edgy in 2007 and 2011 as well. Its not like it was an especially unenlightened age of days bygone. The Pin-Up card system is definitely what put it on the map. Its really funny that CD Project [may] opt to launder its reputation now to reach a broader audience after only getting on the map for being absurd and over the top. I'm not advocating for anything, only observing.

The lesson broadcasted is that you have to do "degrading" and shocking things like that to stand out at all. Kind of like how many individuals get started in many industries to support themselves.

The article is saying that PayPal could "presumably" charge your linked bank account. If you read their actual user agreement it's clear that this is not the case - which makes sense, because that would open them up to a world of lawsuits. Speaking from experience, the reality is that when you owe PayPal money and they will try to withdraw it from your PayPal balance and then go to collections like any other business would.
I use Workflowy for this. I use my daily log as both a todo list and as a retroactive recording of what I did (without timestamps though).
This is a good question, I don't understand the downvotes or the responses (1 exception). Gas is delivered to customers via a whole system of players, each who have different motivations and incentives. How you arrive at the current state of "more gas in storage than otherwise" is, at least on the surface, an interesting question when one considers that complexity.
