It really isn’t. You’re just uncomfortable with a group of people that you’re a member of did something bad that was directly related to their membership in that group and you want a carve out so you can feel separate from them. We’re talking about an era in the US where white people were literally in control of everything, nobody else could have done this. And the response was directly related to their whiteness and racism.

So sure, it was only white racists that did this, and without a doubt you wouldn’t have been one of those had
you been born back then despite it being the view of the overwhelming majority at the time.
And then there's things like million and billion being literal magnitudes different.

To add to this. When I take dishes out of my dishwasher and rinse them manually, sometimes they feel slippery until I rinse the residue off them. I always wondered what that was. I think the detergent I use with my Miele (also made by them) includes a finishing agent, not sure. I will check and perhaps try something else for a while.
The article mentions PSR -- precision scheduled railroading -- or some such as at the core of all this.

Okay, it's a scheduling problem. It's an optimization problem. It's possibly to a significant extent an optimization under uncertainty problem. Oh, and it's an optimization over time problem.

Did my Ph.D. dissertation in one of those, not for trains but for airplanes. Oh, for math majors in the audience, yes, did use Fubini's theorem (the core of the proof that the work really was in a very general sense actually optimal) and measurable selection.

Such problems can be challenging in practice for business operations, for the math, and for the computing.

And, right, the problem is no doubt, oh, I mean, even quite simplified versions of the problem, in NP-complete or if don't like that fact then can be challenging to get even approximately optimal solutions.

But, however look at the complexity of the problem, I'd

Guess: Including a 7 day paid sick leave should be possible to include in the problem.

That is, just because are attacking a challenging optimization problem, there is likely no fundamental or even very important practical reason can't also include as a constraint, feature, property, requirement, whatever, something like 7 days of paid sick leave.

Besides, we're talking about scheduling workers to run freight trains, maybe 100 cars long, with several big Diesel-electric engines, across major parts of the US. Uh, just the Diesel oil costs what? And in comparison for that trip the workers cost what? I'd guess a small fraction of even just the Diesel oil. Then there is the capital cost and maintenance cost of all that equipment. E.g., the track has to be in really good condition or ... don't want even to imagine what the costs could be, i.e., the term train wreck is used broadly as a really big disaster. And just a little maintenance on one of those Diesel-electric engines costs, how many hours of worker pay?

My nose smells more politics than business, applied math, computing, technology, etc.
I doubt that's the only option.
I realize that Nintendo likely did not want to miss the holidays for Pokemon.

But I am still very surprised they allows this to ship, unless they have less control over Gamefreak than I thought? I know its a different company and another company controls Pokemon.

But I compare this to far more ambitious games, Breath of the Wild, Mario Odyssey, Bayonetta 3. That all run nearly perfect. I mean even at launch I can't remember there being any notable bugs in BoTW.

The only explanation I can think of is the sheer number of models in a pokemon game may be much higher than those games, but I am not sure.

For Nintendo, pokemon is more and more a bad look for them when compared to the rest of their games. Don't get me wrong I am enjoying the new game, but from a technical prospective it is just disappointing.

I think they’re actually trying to solve different issues.

Cameras are designed to capture & store the light in a way we can interpret later. They intentionally weren’t designed to edit or interpret the light and make corrections.

Smart phones automatically do interpret and “correct” images. This can lead to artificially created artifacts in the image files. Professional photographers will often prefer the raw because they can apply their own edits without said artifacts.

Now sure, camera photos are good for 99% of people, 99% of the time. BUT because the software on cameras were never designed to do those corrections, they just don’t. This makes night images worse, unless you decrease shutter speed.

On a side note, it’s this very fact that I find it difficult to accept cell phone footage as video evidence. Particularly, if you’re looking at fine detail, as the filters often modify / generate the fine detail.

I'd guess it's because it evolved by adding features to phones, not adding telephony to something else.

As an employee and an employer, I like having only one type of paid leave.

It should not matter to the employer why an employee is not working.

If the issue is insufficient time off for illnesses, then the negotiation should be for more paid time off (PTO) in general.

This eliminates all the resources wasted on catching fraudulent use of sick days.
It’s subjective and there’s a pithy response to any argument. But for me it’s night and day.

I have far more time with my kids than my parents ever had with us, partly because I simply do not grocery shop or merchandise shop anymore. Yes there’s still plenty of humans involved but both are heavily automated with AMRs.

This is hours a week of freed time.

Again, to each their own. But for me it’s huge and I love and cherish it.

> If all those things are OK, the output will be OK, no matter what engine you choose/develop.

This is just not true in any domain.

If your tools are bad, buggy, or inefficient, it's very possible for your talented people to be unable to overcome them.

For example, if a game engine takes even 2x developer time vs. another engine, it's probably not possible to achieve a similar level of polish because the developer time isn't going to double accordingly.
In general agreement with one caveat; Svelte is hardly new. Rich Harris was using it at NYT 4 years (at least) ago, and it's been open source since. It's caught on because of; a pushback against React, the surging popularity of Vue, the sudden popularity of Rollup (which has been around just as long, but adoption in Snowpack/Astro and Vite was a game changer), Rich being hired by Vercel and more weight behind Svelte. All of those things have gelled to create a popularity surge in the framework. I'd shy away from calling it the "new hotness," and simply bear in mind that it's just trending lately.
> It might be time for them to try out Unity or Unreal engine for switch games.

EDITED: They used Unity for Pokémon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl. I'm not sure why they switched back to in-house for Arceus and these newer ones.

The main issue seems to be their release schedule as well as their inexperience with games of this scope, and likely not the engine itself (although it's likely a contributing factor).

Digital Foundry put out a good video showcasing how the game performs and comparison to Arceus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBZqt7D24Zc Honestly, Arceus which was already rather ugly compared to Breath of the Wild and certain other 3rd party titles on the Switch, is a much better looking and detailed game then this new generation.
> hate speech is the thing that some people try to defend under the banner of free speech.

I think it's more of an acknowledgement that there's a price to freedom/liberty and there are fundamental trade-offs involved. I.e. can't have our cake and eat it too.

The difficulty is in finding where exactly the draw the line. For better or worse, currently there are many technically legal yet unsavory views allowed under "freedom of speech".

You've spelled out pretty well the dangers of free speech but if we err to much on the side of caution, that itself causes animosity and discord from (perceived or actual) loss of liberties. And of course, if left unchecked, it can create a culture which embraces more centralized concentration of power, inviting corruption and further concentration.

I'm still wrestling with my own thoughts on where to draw the line and how to balance freedom with safety.
I'd be nice to have normal-sized lens, but it's hard to justify lugging them when the rest of the camera is so primitive.

Cameras usually take longer to start and get ready to take a shot (or run out of battery sooner if you keep them on all the time) and have slower autofocus. May screw up exposure. It's harder to check the photos. Extra steps are needed to get the photos out of the camera. And it annoys me to no end that my dumb camera can't automatically adjust its clock and the timezone.
But it's okay, because of their multiple-tenancy practices, they only nuked the US offices, and a remote engineer noticed that the CI servers were down. He then drove halfway through the country to crawl through radioactive waste, just so he could plug back in the ethernet cable.
This is nice.

Hosting fonts locally is something i've advocated since the beginnings of Google Fonts.

Apart from the stated benefits it also means fewer DNS lookups i.e. yet another point of failure gone and yet another privacy bonus. It's not just google that can spy on you, also your ISP.

PS: It's not just Google Fonts, this applies to all fonts stored on CDNs.
I'm sure if we dig deep enough, we can probably find clay tablets impressed with gripes about lazy workers and insolent children. Socrates famously groused about "kids these days".

> Children began to be the tyrants, not the slaves, of their households. They no longer rose from their seats when an elder entered the room; they contradicted their parents, chattered before company, gobbled up the dainties at table, and committed various offences against Hellenic tastes, such as crossing their legs.

These people are ultra-reliable, proven workers with a lot of skills. They could move to construction for similar or better pay. You don't make any serious coin with the railroad unless you are working overtime. They all work their lives away.

> While the exact mechanism is unclear, the occurrence of these magmas suggests that the process of subduction, where ocean water is taken hundreds of kilometers into our planet, generates free oxygen. This then oxidizes the overlying mantle.

I wonder what happens to the hydrogen, then? Perhaps this: "Here, we report results from laboratory experiments in which we reacted ground ultramafic and mafic rocks and minerals—specifically peridotite, pyroxene, olivine and magnetite—with anoxic fluids at 55 and 100 °C, and monitored hydrogen gas production." https://www.nature.com/articles/ngeo1825

As an aside, I love it that blank sheets of paper turned into the go to way to message a protest. You can't get less menacing and a stronger "the emperor has no clothes" message than that.
Very aware of that (I’m American), so I should have mentioned that it’s surprising to me given their critical & central role in keeping our whole-ass system functioning. ie even these workers get 0.
So much for EM's freeze peach absolutism, I guess.
> When an employee calls out sick, a Special Inspector may be sent to their home to check if they are really sick and at home. If the employee doesn't answer the door (They're sleeping and don't hear the door? Doesn't matter), they're charged with falsely calling out sick, and face suspension or termination.

I'll never understand why people think it's alright to infantilise other adults like this. If they're sick and go to the doctor, that doesn't count? If they're sleeping (you know, because they're unwell) _that's_ not ok either? I'm not sure why you're advertising this kind of disrespect like its a genuine alternative.
Fujifilm on the other hand is exploding in popularity. Sony took the full frame market and has incredible autofocus. Canon has shot themselves in the foot locking down their RF mount, Nikon is doing ok.

I think we're going to see a slow gradual rise in small compact cameras making a comeback, just like vinyl. Phone cameras can only do so much, it's physics, and photography popularity has grown since kids now are born in a world where a phone has a great camera.

The H series F&P dishwasher models have a built-in water softener. [0]

According to the user guide, a water softener is recommended if your municipal water hardness is >250ppm which would be quite hard for municipal tap water.

In my region of central Florida the city’s water quality report shows a hardness well below 250ppm, Which you can divide by 17.1 to determine how many grains of salt to take that with.

CloudKnit: An Open Source Solution for Managing Cloud Environments
Hey HN, This is Adarsh, Founder of CloudKnit (https://github.com/cloudknit-io/cloudknit). CloudKnit is an open-source solution for managing cloud environments in a declarative way instead of using imperative pipelines. It also comes with dashboards to help visualize environments and observe them.

CloudKnit is based on a concept called Environment as Code (https://www.cloudknit.io/blog/from-infrastructure-as-code-to...). Environment as Code is an abstraction over cloud-native tools that provides a declarative way of defining an entire environment. It has a Control Plane that manages the state of the environment, including resource dependencies, and drift detection and reconciliation.

Please let us know your comments/feedback. Thanks.
How exactly is "automation and robotics" taking the burden from our shoulders? I live in a single family house. I still need to hire plumbers, electricians, handy men to paint my house, etc. I still need to hover over a porcelain bowl a few times a day and clog it up a few times a year. Toilet augers and plungers to the rescue.
Are you sure mobile app-based authentication is in violation and not just SMS-based authentication? Because my bank is using that as the primary method too with the card-based solution costing extra (fixed cost for the reader/tan generator and not monthly cost for the otherwise useless to me card needed for that).
Report it up the chain. This is a map based on ISP-reported data. If there data is bad, the FCC can investigate. But the FCC isn't going to prove the reported data.
It is somewhat related to performance as well since those poor art are most likely the result of them “optimizing” the original assets to squeeze as much performance as possible at the last minute
This is what’s called a ‘false dichotomy’

‘Open borders’ is a strawman, anyway. You can have policies which promote immigration, provide legal pathways for immigrants to provide labor to the economy (including unpaid labor like raising kids and domestic elder care), and can structure social benefits in such a way that you provide a social safety net, without having to just throw the border open to all or pay out unemployment benefits to anyone who shows up out of work.

Illegal immigration is a market response to a failure of the government to provide a legal framework for sufficient legal migration. People are willing to come to (for example) the US and work illegally without legal access to any social safety net. But allowing people to live under those conditions is both a moral failing (we should not be comfortable relying on the labor of people who face destitution if they lose their job) and a societal risk (people with no safety net are more likely to end up engaged in criminal activity that harms society).

So why not create a more structured arrangement? Create paths to legal immigration, with access to defined, limited, temporary benefits, and with a pathway that over time - as an immigrant’s stake in the country increases - converges towards the full security afforded to citizens.
At least he has a nice domain.
I love working and do it even if my needs would otherwise be met by public subsidies (I am disabled, obviously and legally).

It helps that I'm paid for work that I'd otherwise been doing, but I have a decent history of working less great jobs because I find the prospect of overcoming challenges, that I'd not put upon myself, satisfying.

> No, the Ukrainians are not going to service radars, helicopters, drones, tanks that they have no idea about and were just given.

They are also given training including maintenance training on the weapon systems they are using. It's one of the reasons they haven't been given planes or their heavier systems (such as tanks).

> Nothing is for free - and that is the point, it feeds the US war machine.

It's free for the Ukrainians they are literally not paying, the Americans are getting great PR, and also free battle testing against real Russian targets.

Additionally the Americans are getting to heavily deplete the Russian army without even having to use any of their own soldiers.

It's a heaps good deal.

My mother has one of these, but I didn't know its name until now! I actually remember the salesman coming to our home and showing us how it works. It's still going strong ~25 years later. I'm currently using a Miele something, but I'm always a little weirded out by the fact I have to change vacuum bags, because when I grew up we would just flush the dust down the toilet after vacuuming.

Now that I know what my mother's vacuum is called I'm a little tempted to get one myself...
