Modern socialism is a response to industrialization and as Canada has historically been a resource-based economy industrialization rose most prominently in rural areas (mines, for example). Early agriculture in Canada was also steeped in socialist-like thinking, such as cooperatives that were established to supply the means of production, a lot of which still exists today. With that, it wasn't long before the farmers and labourers were working together. Canada's NDP political party was born out the amalgamation of earlier labour and farmer parties.

Once NAFTA opened the US floodgates, though, it was compete or perish and that quickly changed attitudes as the old ways were largely no longer sustainable, except where certain trade restrictions were able to be maintained (dairy and poultry, for example). There has been a push towards 'Americanization' in rural Canada over the last 30-some-odd years in an effort to remain competitive.
Electricity in, heat out, I think. Getting that heat back to electricity will cost some, I expect more than that 0.4
Not analogous.

Rust-style result types continue the normal control flow.

Any exception thrown deep into a function can be very hard to debug. The normal line of execution is stopped, even without a return, and if it’s a checked exception it can “bubble up” to higher functions despite nothing signifying a return, just a marker saying somewhere this can throw an exception.

Exceptions are terrible.
98SE still needed driver installation for every stick. It was WinME that included the first mass-storage generic class drivers.

These were then backported to 98SE, and pretty much every vintagecomputing enthusiast with a 98 box is running this despite the anachronism, because authenticity is just such a massive PITA.

It's energy_out/energy_in, but the energy_in is not the total energy used by the experiment, it's the fraction that is transferred to the fusion fuel.
> I must say I strongly dislike losing control over my own device. It feels dystopian to me.

Even with a rooted device where perhaps you personally coded up the ROM you are still missing a piece which is the binary blob that runs the baseband radio. That firmware is, afaik, not something which exists in any sort of open-source or rootable manner. It's a closed blob running proprietary software on your phone, and it runs at a lower level than the ROM/OS does. So, even if you go to great lengths to secure most of the software that runs on the device (a noble goal, it's your hardware after all!) then you still must contend with the uncertainty and perhaps risk (depending on your threat model) of that untrusted code running there. You can search around the web for articles covering baseband radio exploits that span the years...
I was thinking along the same lines, but on the other hand, will specific video games be able to have as much staying power as physical sports?

The way I envision longevity playing into the sports industry is by having generational playing and viewership, with parents teaching their children about the game rules, playing with them, and explaining while watching a broadcast game. It's not the only way people get into (traditional) sports watching, but I believe it is the main underlying word-of-mouth mechanism.

However, with videogames being driven so much by graphical improvements, gameplay evolution, and other trends, will there ever be an eSport which stays in vogue for long enough?

Quick research on eSports:

Tetris is the oldest at 30 years (for the World Championship version), still a popular game with a competitive scene. Smash Bros Melee is 20 years old and very popular as an eSport, as well as StarCraft with a lesser but still decent viewership as I understand, though Quake and Street Fighter 2 from around that time are not drawing much viewership (nor casual popularity). 20 years ago was also the appearance of CounterStrike which is massively popular, but has had multiple titles, with only the latest version of 10 years ago still being played. All other major eSports are from that time period of 10 years ago or newer as far as I see.
I enjoy the Eric Normand podcast. It's a deep dive into functional programming topics, very nitty-gritty, up to and including discussing CS research papers from the 60s/70s.

> seems like a pretty reasonable definition of "hobby farming.

No more than saying that a two-income household is "hobby working." The reality of a farmer needing multiple sources of income (including non-farm income) does not make it a hobby farm. A hobby farm is a very specific thing and includes the word "hobby" for a reason: the primary goal is not to generate income, like any other hobby.
I disagree here- The Palm Treo was arguably the first smart phone, limited as it may have been. I had a 650 from around 2005 or so, and I actually kept that thing going until 2009 when I got an IPhone 3GS. The Treos and "regular" PDAs all ran the same PalmOS software. The Palm 600 was the first real smartphone and was released in 2003.

I didn't pay for data, so used the PDA features much like you would a regular PDA- I had a dock and did a sync to my computer via their software. But I could and did put ebooks, mp3s on the device, synced my calendar, etc... it did the job, just much more poorly.

You also had "Pocket PCs" made mostly by HP that were kicking around during this period as well. Ipaq's were only discontinued around 2011, the last model apparently being released in 2009: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPAQ

So instead of realizing gains in efficiency, cars were simultaneously made less efficient to realize gains in safety and comfort. The end result is still cars that are about the same as what they were decades ago.
I've disabled them on my phone because it's always either a test or some nonsense "it's too busy in <town> 10km away, stay away". Alerts they would never turn on the sirens for. I'd be very annoyed if my carrier re-enabled alerts.

What inherent value does this comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33951443 have?

(It says "From the ChatGPT-generated stuff I've seen just in the last week, I think we're already there. Most humans these days are incredibly stupid.")

I have read low quality internet comments saying "people are dumb" over and over and over, year in, year out. I argue that wherever they are, they have no inherent positive value. And negative contribution to the internet, the world, the thread they are posted in.
"When you’re reading your prose right after writing it down, you’re hearing what you wanted to say, not what the text actually spells out. It helps to add a bit of time between writing, proofreading, and hitting “send”.

This is not a bad idea, though i would guess that if these guys change IPs, then it will be annoying to spend your time sneding emails, etc. But, then i thought: why not automate this with some simple scripts? You have al;ready outlined your recipe, so simply automate the steps...But the more i thought of the automation around this, you need to be creful not to turn into a "spammer of sorts, constantly sending emails...certainly, you wouild be sending legitimate emails, but if they change their IPs more often, that might trigger your automatiomn more often, somewhat turning you into a mild "spammer", right? :-) I'm not suggesting you abandon your apporoach, but simply to remember to not overdo it with big scale of emails sent out. ;-)

Hey i was in the same place roughly a year ago and i did come up with some measures which i find satisfactory when I reflect upon them.

Looks like people already familiar with the argument have given excellent scientific advice for your lifestyle in general.

But i would like to specifically focus on the things that practically worked for me when it comes to coding.

1. Try going warm when going dark. I suggest Gruvbox themes for it. I personally use a variation of it called Gruvbox material on vscodium.

2. Prefer using the simplified reading mode in browsers whenever feasible.

3. Use a feature like night light and try to balance the brightness alongside to get a perfect condition(subjective) where the text is legible and has enough contrast. My opinion is that having more night light is much better than a lower brightness. Effects of night light go aesthetically unnoticed in dark modes.

4. Use thin fonts. I use fira code light. They are easier to read from what I had studied then.

5. Matt screens are a pleasure for eyes to work with
GDPR is actually pretty damn decent to deal with. Saying that while the company has legal obligations to retain a lot of personal data - anonymize, encrypt, report (AML being a part, too), forget (incl. personal encryption keys) and what not.

So definitely - not pain.
How about we fix the existing support systems. Popular media constantly exalts things like the suicide hotline/chat, or mental health services. But those services often don't even work when people need them, they are either unavailable (where people are put on hold indefinitely) or the applications and websites have bugs that make them totally unusable.

Also the way healthcare is tied to employment in the US is a huge health risk for anyone changing jobs or at risk of termination.
Yes I have noticed this too. There is a small but significant homesteading movement. Ironically, working from home in IT, or making videos about homesteading and using the views to sell products, is often the way these people make it financially possible.

Almost certainly not. The US alone generates 4,095 billion kWh yearly. For a half a day, you would need to store 5,600,000,000 kWh. Tesla Megapack can store 3916 kWh fully loaded. This means you would need 1,430,000 Megapacks to power the US for half a day. With Tesla only being capable of producing roughly 40,000,000 kWh of Megapacks annually, it would take 140 years to produce all the batteries. If Tesla created 100 times the factory capacity they have now (which, could the supply of raw materials even withstand the smallest fraction of that?), it would take 14 years, for batteries that have a warranty of 15 years. These are lithium-ion batteries which are the most space-efficient, unless you don't mind clearing hundreds of square miles of space for this project. Did I mention it costs about $1 million per Megapack right now, so this project would cost $1.4 TRILLION assuming all Lithium+Cobalt+Supplies+Labor cost the same as they do now despite demand being increased 100x, and ignoring all engineering costs, and factory scaling costs, which could multiply the cost exponentially. All to power the US for just half a day. Now consider how to add Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, the rest of North America...

We're not close, and it's basically completely unfeasible. Fusion will be closer in 100 years than such a project.
So, I happen to know this niche extremely well!

I'm one of the maintainers of MageOS (a fork of Magento) as well as a maintainer of Daffodil (a monolithic Angular PWA framework - not Microfrontends yet).

APIS are definitely the way to go but, while that's a great next step, what we're really facing is a standards issues.

Some have tried.

Schema.org as a standard is overly complex and each platform has their own API definition.

Microfrontends can be great as well, but ecommerce has a particularly special problem of requiring extremely performant SSR, so that's always a critical and complex piece to get correct.

However, this article is clearly an ad.

But you make a good point about open source. It would have the added advantage of being open to code review to find flaws that allow cheating.
Sweden has 10 Million people in a small area and have totally different weather and culture than Australia.

I believe that Windows ME was the first (non NT based) windows with out-of-the-box support for USB MSC, though 98 probably got it in a service pack at some point to support it. Certainly in 1999 there was a good chance that a USB stick would not work in a computer. By the time XP was common, USB sticks worked everywhere.
Ultimately, satisfaction cannot be achieved only by what you do. If you are called to leave then leave graciously and on good terms. But know if your fulfillment in life is solely tied to your occupation it will always feel empty. You need to feel that hole with something greater than your work.

Tiny H-bomb except pure fusion, and instead of a fission bomb as the trigger, you have huge lasers. You’d produce energy the same way, with heat being captured by some sort of spherical shield around the tiny bomb (which could also be breeding some of the fusion fuel out of lithium) and used to produce steam to run turbines.

This is the first time that the laser’s photon energy was exceeded by the energy produced by fusion. But this machine isn’t optimized as a power plant, just to demonstrate fusion (mostly to improve modeling of H-bombs, actually). The shots take hours to do, the tiny bombs are currently expensive to make, the chamber for the tiny bombs isn’t designed to capture heat, breed fuel, or even withstand damage from higher yield fusion. Another machine would be needed to demonstrate like 10-100 tiny bombs per second, and the efficiency (and repetition rate) of the lasers would need to be higher and the energy gain also needs to be much higher (but if they got “ignition” where the fusion heat helps sustain the reaction, this may be doable). And need to find a way to make these tiny bombs cheaper.
The Russian Revolution, the Cuban Revolution, China's revolution all had substantially rural components.

But the tldr; is that land/resource ownership, the distribution of surplus value and softening the blows of the market when your produce depends on the weather are extremely relevant concerns of rural areas

A few extra questions you may also be interested in: lithium, cobalt mining, costs of nanolitography for high efficiency photovoltaic cells.

To what extent is your view an adaptation to how things are currently (and I agree it can be good to have a positive outlook on things you can't change) and to what extent do you think it's a strong analysis of how things should be?

Let's say a mysterious virus spreads through the population, and edits all our DNA with the only effect that we all suddenly gain negligible senescence - people still die from accidents and acute diseases, but everyone retains the same level of general healthiness as a young adult with no aging. In that situation, would you be advocating that everyone take medicine to turn aging and death from aging back on?
It dropped by a third, which is less than the difference between New York and La Paz, so I guess they could deal with it? I wonder how well their immune systems would handle modern germs, though...
Exactly. Looking at the Wikipedia article [1] suggest that they start out with 422 MJ stored in capacitors, turn this into 4 MJ IR laser light, convert it into 1.8 MJ UV laser light, this into x-rays of which 0.15 MJ heat the target of which finally 0.015 MJ heat the fuel. Depending on what in this chain you consider the input energy, you can get orders of magnitude different numbers - 15 kJ of energy produced could either be a gain of 1 or a gain of ‭0.0000036 or anything in between.‬ And this is before trying to capture the released energy and converting it into electricity, this will come with another sizable loss.

Physical sports also have a purpose that esports cannot adequately address: the need to discharge physical energy and aggression. There is something primally satisfying in defeating someone in say basketball that cannot be matched in my experience by non-contact activities.

I live in a cold state. The idea of relying on out-of-state power, regulated and controlled by people with zero accountability to you, for life-and-death energy is a tough sell.

Not everybody had a Zip drive and having to transport the entire drive added a lot of bulk. By the time USB 3 hit the scene we were well beyond 256mb. The original iPod Shuffle was basically a USB 2.0 512MB flash drive with an MP3 player bolted on and that was $100 in 2005. I think by then 256MB was probably under $50.

It makes little sense to directly compare esports to traditional sports, aside from the name and the fact that competition is involved.

Esports' biggest issue is that the only real reason someone is going to start watching is because they play the game and want to see pros play it. Esports are usually not much fun to watch if you don't already love the game (neither are traditional sports).

The main reason to watch a sport is because you love the game on one hand, or you love the teams/players on the other. Traditional sports get a lot of the latter because there's history and inertia.

You don't have to love football to cheer for the Pats when you live in Boston. But you aren't going to cheer for the Boston Uprising (or even be aware that they exist) if you don't love Overwatch.

Yes that's the point right. It's gone and decommissioned for really bad reasons. A political deal that satisfied those who were more anti-nuclear than anti-pollution. In an alliance with those who were more pro-fossil-gas than pro-climate. And now Germany pollutes many times more than it otherwise would. We should absolutely take a lesson from this.
Yes, I think the use of the term "invented" as well as the idea that the invention was unfairly copied are a bit disingenuous. Credit where credit is due. Pulling together the different technologies and making them into a manufactural product is a great accomplishment. If there were inventions involved it would be the USB protocol, there mass storage specification, and of course flash memory. The thumb drive just brought those things together.
In the end, even if companies made their deceptive/evil practices abundantly clear, I'm not sure it would stop many people. If Microsoft told people setting up Windows 11 that every ounce of profitable data will be used against them, most people would still accept it because the alternatives are less convenient.

This. For me it started with the XDA (II). The telecom provider O2 had an HTC produced handset called the XDA, essentially a Pocket PC (predecessor of Windows Mobile) PDA with built-in GPRS modem (which I remember fetching up to 64 kbps, as opposed to using dial-up via GSM, which would get you 9600 bps if you paired up a Palm or psion 3/5 via irda to a nokia 6210). The XDA II followed a year later. By that time, there were also multiple Treo models with built-in mobile modems.

It was great. There was no app store, but there were dozens if not hundreds of apps voor PPC on Tucows and other such download sites. But, people would laugh at you 'why would you want to browse websites or check your e-mail when you're not at a computer?'

I have stopped reading HN as much now due to how much spam is on it about twitter. It's mind boggling and almost funny how egotistical and sycophantic all these silicon valley people think that:

1. People care about twitter.

Too many people who got lucky once looking to strike again arguing how big of a deal any of the dumb pointless news about twitter is. Twitter was not growing, they didn't innovate or launch new things. Most adult americans are/were on facebook and the like - That is not true for twitter. Vast majority of people don't tweet just follow popular thing X, If google wanted to, they could provide a saved search timeline and show you new news about those things. Now the right wing is latching on as the new thing of free speech as the thing they they care about because causing outrage is literally just how they make money. That will be gone as soon as they cycle to the next (immigration/ fentanyl/ china/ covid ) crisis.
