Yeah it's just not. I have one of those ridiculous bazillion-BTU gas burners and I still prefer to boil water using a combination of a 120V tea kettle (1L) and an 120V portable induction cooker. An installed 240V range is even faster, but I don't have one of those.

I know it's heresy to the British, but you can heat water for tea in the microwave just fine. And at least in my European imagination, every American has a microwave in their home.
Huh, I guess Backpacker’s Pantry quit making it. I still have one on the shelf I should probably check the expiration date on.
Yes, there is a plugin for it! https://github.com/lite-xl/lite-xl-lsp

It works quite decently, although again limitations regarding linewrapping apply; the inline lints from lint+ break linewrapping :/

Also, for Lapce I cannot find server integrations other than a few, namely Rust, JS/TS, YAML, C/C++, Go and Dart. No Python, for example. Adding Python support in Lite's LSP is as simple as adding lspconfig.pylsp.setup() to your config (and installing the server), if you already have the plugin set up correctly.
Prehistoric watermelons were vastly different from the fruit we eat today. It's likely they were predominantly consumed for the seeds, and consumption of pulp was only after many many generations of selective breeding. Worth a read:

Isn't the biggest problem with iPhone production that the volume is so high that very few places aside from China have the requisite number of engineers to build such a plant?
I wish I could, but it is proprietary for now.
Maybe you would do better with pair working. Pair programming does wonders for certain types of problems such as debugging.
"Musk looks like the disorganized mess he's making at Twitter, the kind of "visionary" we've all had to work with and who has sucked the will to live out of us: unreasonable expectations, constant changes of trajectory, the feeling that one well-spent night or one too many drinks for them would make our lives heaven or hell."

I respectfully disagree.

It is true—prestige grants price flexibility for the college. They can charge more equivalent to their relative standing. But what leads to that reputation? How do you measure quality of education?What makes Harvard better than any other college at educating students? How much better? What percentage? Okay now prove it. At least in a succinct explainable way.

No, prestige is based on awareness and reputation. That can be gained a lot of ways. Recently a lot of schools have gained reputation through athletics. If you are good at one thing people think you are good at everything and so that reputation becomes overall reputation.

Three repeatable anecdotes regarding college enrollments:

1. When a college builds a new fancy building they see an enrollment spike. Almost every time. Especially if it is student quality of life focused.

2. Colleges that have lowered tuition to increase price transparency have consistently seen enrollment drops.

3. When a college or University makes it to March Madness they see an enrollment bump.

Reputation is tied to many things. Academic quality is hard to quantify or measure and so any reputation based on academics is apocryphal and based in word of mouth.
We visited my granddaughter at a Midwest state school last week.

I was actually surprised with how beautiful the university grounds were. They likely spend a fortune on landscaping alone.

Our older grandson went to the same school studying CS and EE. I’d say he’s doing very well.

I agree education is over priced, much like any other investment or asset in this day and age.

Perhaps my world view is narrow, but what are examples of these “affordable” schools with spotty wifi?

I think the old buildings or drab dorm argument isn’t a huge deal. Call me old fashioned, but I’d prefer my grand kids being safe but having some challenges. Otherwise, we’re keeping them in a bubble. As long as their is climate control and cleanliness, I’m fine with them not getting a 4.5 star hotel treatment.
Wonder how open source will thrive in the post zero interest rate world.

I.e. when commercial companies can no longer sustain open source projects.
Thanks! Indeed, there are a lot of approaches to this problem. We spent some time refining Lotus so that we focus on creating new solutions rather than competing with others in a similar space. Our approach is pricing&packaging that acts as a no-code app for iteration (but can be customized for new edge cases through code/open source).

> Is it because I'm thinking about pricing for my own product or is there some powerful "why now" that I'm missing?

So many valid answers, but the major ones are the rising popularity of usage-based and hybrid pricing models and more importantly a shift in SaaS from growth = "acquisition" to growth = profitability and expansion in addition to acquisition. The economic shifts are forcing companies to ask how can we capture more of the value that we have created, and a great solution is reconsidering pricing.

If Russia is willing to fight a war over Ukraine, then you've got to ask yourself how important is Ukraine to us? Keeping in mind that this war could easily spiral out of control and into a nuclear Holocaust, killing approximately 5 billion (!!) people (this estimate was only recently computed, I think I even read about it on HN).

For me the answer is "Not very." I hope the Ukrainians win, but if they don't I won't lose any sleep over it. All this talk that this war being an existential threat to the West wold and that we must win it at all cost is simply preposterous.
> but I am older than my parents were back then and I still hear it just fine on those rare occasions I get near a CRT.

That only means that they had more hearing loss than you. If I was blindly guessing, you listened to less overly loud music in your youth than did your parents.

Edit: I guess my point is that it's still hearing loss, just not age related.
The Origin of Dragons – 6200BC
Someone here a while back was talking about how in the farming industry, "leaky" vaccines have been used for a long time. They mentioned that in the poultry industry that just resulted in viruses evolving to be fantastically virulent, which means that unvaccinated populations of chickens have viruses just rip through them at unbelievable speed. Note that this doesn't mean that the viruses are more dangerous, just that they're more evasive against that first line of immune defence and are harder to avoid.

What does this have to do with iPhones?

China can't keep up their zero-COVID policy forever. While they keep trying, COVID is slowly becoming more and more virulent overseas due to our use of leaky vaccines.

Either they give up now, and deal with the fast-but-maybe-manageable wave of infections, or they wait until it evolves to be so infectious that it becomes totally unmanageable.

They're stretching a rubber band further and further while repeatedly mumbling something about a "not letting go policy".
American-owned farms do the same thing. They get water for far cheaper than a residential household gets water, and so they are incentivized to waste it.

Alfalfa is a uniquely bad crop to grow in dry areas. It uses up a lot of water, and there's nothing special about alfalfa from the Western US - it goes to feed cows and there's plenty of other ways to feed cows.

There's no real reason to create laws specific to foreign-owned farmers, or alfalfa. Just make farmers pay the same amount for water as anyone else pays.

The current variants are so much milder than, say, Delta, that I would think now is as good as time as any to significantly relax the lockdown requirements and let people deal with the illness the way they would anything else of similar severity.
I love how the length of the disclaimer at the bottom of the page is longer than the length of the press release.

I was a little sad that the history boilerplate at the end starts off talking about the Macintosh in 1984, as if the Apple ][ never existed.
This is the appropriate response. It's more about China saving face and their attempt to maintain control than actual Covid-19 prevention, although there is some of that too.

They had a choice to accept Pfizer and Moderna early on and chose not to. Now they're paying for it politically, socially, and epidemiologically.
One can read about Einstein's search for a unified theory of physics (see, for example, https://www.aps.org/publications/apsnews/200512/history.cfm).

"Failed" is a big word, which I do not like to use. I prefer to say that his gamble, which consumed the second part of his professional life, did not pay off.

And the way you describe Einstein's work is the same way someone might describe, in other contexts, the work of Zuck or Musk. How is it possible that Zuck "failed" with the metaverse (remains to be seen, of course, I don't have a crystal ball) after he founded Facebook and had the genius intuition to buy Whatsapp and Instagram?
You are familiar with the phrase "Man's reach exceeds his grasp"? It is a lie. Man's grasp exceeds his nerve. The first time I tried to change the world, I was hailed as a visionary.

I thought this was kinda the point, like it doesn’t matter who you are, if you’re willing to pay $8 a month you must, on net, be a more “valid” user.

Seems like actually verifying everyone would take a big staff if customer service folks and filter out people willing to pay so not so sure that aligns with Musks current strategy of fire everyone and make money fast.
While I’m sure everything in this PR is true, I’m also gonna take a moment to read between the lines. Apple will/should leverage this relatively unprecedented/innocuous statement to accelerate diversity in their supply chain.

With the US squeezing China with sanctions it is only a matter of time before China retaliates against Apple. Politically, reducing pressure on China in the US is not tenable in this climate. We’re in a one way ratchet and Apple needs to diversify away from China as quickly as possible. Covid lockdowns in China ultimately provide a fantastic opportunity and official/formal face saving measure for Apple (and all other US manufacturers) to establish alternate supply chains without openly antagonizing China.
In college, I lived in a 17 bedroom house (2 quads, 4 triples, 6 doubles, and 4 singles) with 35 fraternity brothers. It was glorious!

Of course we had schedules but there was very little "planning". Everyone was just there almost all of the time. Anything you wanted to do, someone like-minded was just there. We played cards in the winter, football or frisbee in the shoulder season, ate, hung out, socialized with guests, and of course, studied together. It just worked.

I can still think of a hundred things I regularly did in those days that I haven't done since.

Now I'm an empty nester, tired of pandemic living and tired of working so hard to recreate what came so naturally back then.

Nice to see someone trying to use the technology that displaced so many of us to bring us back together. Best wishes. I think you'll need it.
I am no expert but as it becomes more infetious it also becomes less dangerous.
Yet, somehow, you can buy iPhone 14 Pro in Russia, of all places, where Apple has officially suspended all sales, and it'll be delivered to you in an hour. No wait time at all.
It was a simplified example to explain the game theory behind it.

Abortion/deficits is a result of that. You find (or create) wedge issues that act as an issue that voters won’t budge on, thereby deciding their vote.

If 50% or more of the population feels strongly enough about a given issue that they will always vote based on it then you position yourself as the party that supports that issue and you have a guaranteed win.

I don’t like the system, just explaining that those are the incentives that the rules create.
You can save more energy probably if you only put a little bit of water, and then steam the eggs in the pot (no need for a steamer basket, just put the eggs in the shallow water). Also, apparently, peeling is easier when the eggs are placed in hot water vs cold. Look up Kenji's egg boiling experiment stuff.

There's an argument to be had that they would not have been successful enough to need to scale without the speed of development provided by Ruby.
That sounds like the right orientation to me. There’s a lot of importance in hearing the disagreements, because for many the reality is that returning to the office means lowered productivity and we all want to believe that our productivity matters. If we are more productive at home but management pushes us back in, the only sane conclusion is that our productivity is not actually what matters, rather our sitting in some glassy air conditioned building somewhere keeping up appearances. Of course reality is somewhere in between.
I also wanted some wiggle room for languages that are fairly researchy but some people do use them in real life for hosting blogs and such, like Idris.
Yet these colleges were nice in 1980 too, before the price of tuition went up 1200% per the graph in the article. I don't think your argument really makes any sense in view of that.
If you read your own link, you’d find that Baumol’s hypothesis is that cost disease led to an increase of professor salaries… which is not reflected in reality. Real professor salaries have decreased (not increased) over the relevant time period, mainly because universities have shifted from tenured faculty to untenured adjunct, who work on semester-long contracts.
I think one thing we've learned is anonymity often makes things worse. Substantially so. As someone raised on BBSes & Usenet, that pains me to say. But I think 4chan, Twitter & others have demonstrated that.

One thing about $8 for Twitter Blue is it will make it easier to filter out the noise -- the trolls, the bots, etc.

Previously I would have worried that having a toll on communication would mean we'd lose some important voices. That may still be true, but I've learned that having no cost on communication results in a lot of garbage being spewed.

I was shocked at what a difference it made. Here in nyc we had a stretch of overcast days for about two weeks last month and I took it out and used it. Bam! I felt more energetic, lively, and enthusiastic all over again.
actually the Wikipedia article itself doesn't support your statement. Even if you take for granted there are some other explanations that contribute to the cost rise, administrative overhead is clearly a big factor and that's the issue that can be addressed and he's tackling, not e.g., the relative difference in productivity of educators and everyone else which is a questionable facto.
Thanks, but no. I own a Pixel 6 Pro as my second phone (for work), and I prefer not having to treat my phone like it is a (non-M1) laptop. I.e., constantly worry about having a way to charge it whenever I am out and about.

It isn't just my perception either, the reviews all pointed out the battery to be lacking. Meanwhile, I charge my iPhone about once every 2 days (or once a day before i go to sleep, in case I am using it very heavily on that particular day).

No idea what the whole "better camera" complaint is either. Pretty much every in-depth technical review (by blogs/people who actually have knowledge of photography and camera tech) of iPhone 14 Pro camera laud it as great, which my personal experience confirms.

> The US has never recognized PRC claims to Taiwan. The US “One China Policy” does not include “Taiwan is part of PRC territory”.

The U.S. does not have to do that to do what the GP says -

"> According to official US policy, which is the One China policy, Taiwan and mainland China are the same country, and any disputes between the mainland and Taiwan is an intra-chinese dispute, not a dispute between two separate countries"

- rather they have historically recognized the ROC's claims to Taiwan, and to the mainland as well, which of course is a diplomatic fig leaf at this point.
For example, some of the US Navy's Transit satellites in the early 1960s were powered by non-containerized SNAP RTG's (plutonium) destroyed when they de-orbited, releasing Pu-238 into the atmosphere.

The Cassini Mission was launched in 1997 with 72+ pounds of Pu aboard. NASA calculated the risks of 'inadvertent reentry' beforehand.

Qatar intelligence operation against FIFA officials

>>> The primary goal: to prevent Qatar from losing the World Cup again because of the massive criticism.

FWIW, programs compiled through a modern toolchain can ship their own debug data. For example, the restrict_filesystems program loaded by systemd

$ sudo bpftool prog dump xlated id 50
int restrict_filesystems(unsigned long long \* ctx):
; int BPF_PROG(restrict_filesystems, struct file *file, int ret)
0: (79) r3 = *(u64 *)(r1 +0)
1: (79) r0 = *(u64 *)(r1 +8)
2: (b7) r1 = 0
; uint32_t *value, *magic_map, zero = 0, *is_allow;
3: (63) *(u32 *)(r10 -20) = r1
; int BPF_PROG(restrict_filesystems, struct file \*file, int ret)
4: (bf) r1 = r0
5: (67) r1 <<= 32
6: (77) r1 >>= 32
; if (ret != 0)
7: (55) if r1 != 0x0 goto pc+59
8: (b7) r1 = 32
9: (0f) r3 += r1
10: (bf) r6 = r10

https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/c76691d708ac7fe13b7c...

Unfortunately, most of the programs loaded by systemd are more-or-less hand-generated (the ingress/egress programs specifically) and do not include this information.

It's a surprisingly small group of folks who work in this space upstream, but I know that they're aware of this as an opportunity to improve things :)
