I think the irony is that Linux could easily achieve this by simply copying the OS X use of Meta (Cmd/"Windows") key for the copy/paste instead of DEs stubbornly trying to ape the Windowsy Ctrl-key combination paradigm, which conflicts with the use of Ctrl by terminal applications. The time is long past when keyboards would ship without a Meta key. Another user mentioned Ctrl-Shift, but pressing three keys requires too much dexterity for a simple operation like copy (and you might accidentally Ctrl-C your script!).
FYI that last study didn’t differentiate between cannabis smokers and dual smokers. The conclusion is that cannabis + tobacco is worse than tobacco.
It's incredible how advanced the technology is, that fully saturates PCIE5.0 x16. but at a distance 1 million times farther.
I highly doubt you can count minified as "compiled"
Minification is a form of compression. Compilation is a form of conversion from a high level to a lower level interpretation and that is fundamentally different.

But then again I'm not a lawyer :)
You can turn off all the government alerts in iOS, in the US at least. I have had them all off for many years since one woke me up in the middle of the night for no reason.
This is really worrying, hopeful it doesn't work and this research fails
Still two orders of magnitude more expensive for my needs. Thank you but nope.
Oh man wait until you’re all 50. The difference is the other way round to what you think it is.

Thank fuck I gave up smoking it 25 years ago…
United Airlines making 10 billion a quarter doesn't sound like its in an industry that has no profit.
2x storage is still expensive for home NAS use. RAID 5/6 has other benefits too over RAID 10. Maybe RAID 5/6 isn't the right choice, but it seemed like the best choice when I was comparing options.
The last study I read found that it’s more harmful than cigarette smoke

That's true but smoking literally anything is phenomenally bad for your body. Even herbal cigarettes (regular herb lol) have terrible health effects. That said, there are perfectly safe ways to consume marijuana that don't involve smoking. Have you considered edibles?
Alcohol is harmful -- https://www.niaaa.nih.gov/publications/brochures-and-fact-sh.... I can't imagine weed wreaking such havoc.
Spotify is the most valuable subscription I have. $10 for all the music I could ever want. I journey through the discographies of artists I listened to as a kid, I discover new artists, I love it.

My biggest gripe... I don't want to listen to Drake. Ever. Yet he's in every one of my Daily Mix playlists.
Maybe you have something else in mind when you say "discoverability", but.. https://substack.com/discover Seems they do have it.

As for the bloat, I can't really comment, but would note that Substack did substantial layoffs like everyone else.

As for what they're doing: they built mobile apps, adding podcasting and video, etc, better discoverability.

I can't say whether they've done "enough" to satisfy you, but I also don't think we should pretend Substack hasn't done any new product development work since inception.
That's true, but I just think it doesn't have to be that way. The only thing politicians care about more than money is being re-elected, so perhaps if more people took note of the good, populace-serving things that politicians at least supported and made it a point to say that that's the cause of their vote, then maybe politicians would be more inspired to do similar things. As soon as people begin to discount good actions as flukes and uplift negatives as the reason why they aren't voting for someone, both sides get jaded very quickly and lose sight of their purpose.

Voters exist to reinforce positive behaviors in politicians, and politicians exist to exhibit those positive behaviors. You can't teach someone with punishment alone.
I'd like to use Spotify because I've never found Apple Music's recommendation algorithm to be particularly impressive. But until they have a music locker system like Apple Music and YouTube Music, it's a non-starter.

It's wild to me that people just accept albums being removed and think "oh well, guess I just can't listen to that any more." Not to mention I have a decent chunk of music I listen to that just isn't available on any streaming services.
I think many people (myself included) think there is something wrong with developing new nuclear bomb technologies specifically.
I was responding to a poster, I made no mention of the ignorance (or lack thereof) for ag departments.

> the reason agriculture has to be run more centrally is because farmers are actually amazingly bad at farming. There are entire offices filled with people who's job is to try and convince farmers to do things that work. From new crops to new technology to when to plant to climate change, farmers just refuse to budge.
> It’s the equivalent of pointing a loaded gun at someone.

To be clear, does "it" mean "jaywalking" there?
Depending on your selection of ‘people’ it isn’t that odd - anyone financing a Tesla Model X for instance, is looking at $120k+ prices, and there are a LOT of them in many parts of the Bay Area.
A $30k car would be something basic like a corolla or civic. When you start talking about larger family cars, $50k is really the low end of what you find on dealer lots. Bear in mind, the MSRP of a vehicle and what you can actually find to buy is quite different. And $50k is a common entry point. Prices escalate quickly from there. My point being that you used to be able to buy a new car such as a civic or corolla for closer to $10k than $30k. I bought a brand new Mazda 3 for $13k in 2006. And there were tons of them on the dealer lot and they worked with me on the price. Nowadays if you head down to the Mazda dealer you might be lucky to find one just under $30k.
True, those are not more verbose, but are merely list enumerations, not comprehension, which bundles multiple generators and tests within the same structure, e.g.:

[(x, y) for x in [1, 3, 5] for y in [2, 7, 8] if x < y]

It's a single monolithic expression that builds the list. The choice syntax however represents each generator and each test as separate expressions, which may even be part of different functions. This seems to offer more flexibility. For example (I don't know the exact syntax):

x:=(1|2); y:=(7|8); x<y; result = (x,y)

Here result is bound to the same values as in the comprehensive list; but these values are yield one at a time, instead of being part of a structure that you traverse.
> I also used canola or coconut oil to clean

Ooo that's a great tip, thanks.
I've personally used hash oil (aka Rick Simpson oil) on wounds, and it works wonders.

I am entirely convinced its just a matter of volume. Weed residue is some NASTY shit. It is impossible to clean up. How tf is a human lung supposed to handle that?

Cig smokers on average smoke waaaaay more plant material than weed smokers. If you smoked 20 joints a day im positive your teeth would look every bit as fucked up as a pack a day smoker
>PHP6 was some kind of abortion

IIRC, the initial development was in the mid 2000s but it was abandoned several years later because they couldn't get Unicode support working correctly. By the time it was abandoned there was already a lot of material referencing it like books and conference talks. So when the PHP team decided to do a new major version most of the planned PHP 6 features were already added to 5.3 and 5.4 so they thought it best to just skip 6 to avoid confusion.
Genuine question: do hardcore stoners smoke the equivalent of 2-3 packets of cigarettes per day? Seems very dangerous if it is the case, and apples-to-oranges if otherwise. But I don’t know any hardcore stoner.
Last I heard, lithium ion is cheaper than the OpEx for the average existing natural gas peaker, but I haven't checked in a year or two. With the fluctuating cost of gas, and the recent small rise in battery cost from supply constraints, I could see that flipping back and forth. And there will be a long delay between having a new cost king and a switchover due to utilities being able to charge rate payers for stranded capital, and also the generally slow utility process for developing new resources, which is often on a five year time scale, using decisions made on five year old data.

That's pretty exciting with regards to off-grid use, I don't know much about it. 24 hours of fossil gas use per season is just absolutely tiny, one could definitely even imagine synthetic fuel production from electricity and air being enough to generate that. Thanks for the info!
Yep, I just wish I could earn the same building cars or houses or wtfever.

That’s what’s keeping me here: the income.
Yeah, I think I'm leaning in that direction but I may look into Btrfs with metadata on a different level. I've had good luck with Btrfs as my desktop filesystem.
Fuck advertisers, fuck surveillance. Nothing is gained for society when any kinds of ads are run, but less ability to track and spy on me _is_ good for society
Calling criticism against crypto firms FUD is silly, cult-like behavior that is standard in the crypto sphere for unclear reasons.
Thanks... I'm going to look more into this and see if it is an option.
So at what point does Substack cut the man and his team a check because from the looks of his observations Substack will likely need consultation and support.
It is NOT impossible to clean up.

"Formula 420" has always been 99% isopropyl alcohol mixed with rock salt

Try using something that benign to clean something where you smoked tobacco in. It isn't going to work.

Beyond that, stoners tend to utilize more types of filtration. Bongs/bubblers which water cool and add some kinds of filtration. Many stoners exclusively or nearly always vape - which is orders of magnitude healthier. Tobacco smokers very rarely use filtration techniques when they smoke, and utilize more intense and likely more combustion inducing vapes than weed vapes.
It's a different environment than the sun and other isotopes are fused. The plasma is a lot less dense, with a lot less pressure but much higher temperatures. The current technology will not generate other elements. And Gold etc are not created in the sun via fusion. they are generated by a different process involving stellar catastrophies.
Life "finds a way" by evolving adaptations. Not by running obsolete technology in an inappropriate environment.

Life has found a way - we are it!
True, but it never really seemed to me like the two were competing with each other, except maybe in the case of something intentionally gory like Mortal Kombat. The detachment from physical injury makes it feel less like a fight and more like a non-combat sport. Could just be my bias showing since I've never liked UFC.
At first I thought this was going to be a post about him quitting his high-profile job at Spotify.

But no, it's about him not using the service anymore because he doesn't like it anymore.

Cool story?
Great thoughts, but you invite the question: should techies like the readers of this site attempt to offer a more coherent system?

People seem to scale poorly, and the US government needs reform.

What to do?
Passive Aggressive FTW. These are all fantastic ideas.
I’d really like to see that paper. I grow medical marijuana and before that was a cancer researcher. I often feel conflicted about the job I do now but the papers I’ve seen like this one show no link between smoking cannabis and causing cancer.

How, exactly, is open source "basic research funded by the public"?
yeah not seeing a lot of meat in this piece. spends a most of the start talking about how great Sptofy Wrapped is, then spends 1-2 paragraphs on why they're really leaving (getting notifications for stuff they don't use), which like ok but unless you're gonna have more details about that fees like I wasted my time
My hands would absolutely get covered, but then again the stuff I was trimming was really great quality. ;-) Looking at it under a magnifying glass, all the nodules were wet glimmering, it was impossible to not get it everywhere.
I think there's room for premium internet services (like apparently Qobuz), which aren't ML optimized / advertising wastelands. They will have smaller user bases and paywalls but actual user/communities engaged within them.
Tribes 2 had in-game scripting. You could open a console and enter commands or run script files. I was young and just beginning to learn programming.

I noticed that if you malformed a certain command, a mere syntax error, it would crash the game clients of everyone else you were in a chat room with (the game had in-game chatrooms). I was apparently one of the few who knew this because the game didn't immediately become a crash fest as it would have if word had spread.

There was a game mode where players would begin the game frozen with the clock stopped. This allowed serious games to be organized where all players were ready before the match began. I found a command that allowed me to unfreeze my character, and I could move about while everyone else was frozen.

There was a debug command that would dump the location of all players and deployable items. I wrote a script to dump this data, parse it, and update my hud with the data, several times per second. This was cheating, but it did serve as one of of my first experiences with programming. It was a hack I made myself and did not share, although I know others were aware of this cheating technique. This was later in patched out of the game.
I have several other "RaspberryPi-like" SBCs. Rockchip, Pine, Orange, you name it. While all of them still work fine and some are indeed more powerful than the RPi (or have more features), my biggest complaint with them is Linux support by the manufacturer. Many of them run a custom 4.x kernel that requires vendor patches that were never upstreamed, and sometimes the Websites / Downloads for these special kernels don't even work anymore.

Yes, these are older boards (4+ years), so maybe this has changed recently, I don't know

So for something that is facing the Internet I would be very reluctant to use them. For something internal, they're probably fine though

Questioning lockdowns and covid vaccinations get downvotes on HN. Also until very recently you would be downvoted for questioning genius mind of Elon Musk.
AI Natural Reader makes any PDF or .epub an Audiobook
Normally I can't stand artificial voices but this company has made serious leaps with voice generation that it's hard to tell it isn't it wasn't recorded audio. I've uploaded epubs and PDFS and it will dutifully read though the text or enable you to read along automatically.

It's not perfect but absolutely good enough.

Some bugs I have found: It can't parse some .epubs and with pdfs it doesn't recognize some letter combinations like 'if' and skips them completely.
Whom exactly would want to crash the whole economy?
The case for decrease of human talent(however you quantify that kind of metric, if it is even true) likely has little to do with population growth, and rather the quality of education that can be provided to a broad population.
That’s probably a stretch because the study is probably more about the brain being able to fill in if needed rather than it being the same cognitive load. There’s no point in testing the brain in a programming language, and as far as I can tell, programmers are really the only ones that are obsessed with word length. It’s as if authors would just shorten “the” to “th” or “t” since it repeats a lot.
To me, the round structure of CS is what makes it most engaging. I watch a lot of League and CS, and having many more rounds to play in CS makes comebacks a lot easier, and so, it makes crafting a game narrative and excitement a lot easier. League is exciting, but a lot harder to get out of a hole than with CS, so barring some crazy plays, it's a harder to make a comeback.
Inconsistencies are not the problem with Elon. At best they reveal that Elon is careless about what influences him. But that's a small matter really.
I use a monochrome laser. It was really cheap (<$100, over 10 years of service now).

But back then it took serious effort to find it, a needle in a stack of cursed printers.

And, today, I couldn't get the same printer anymore, as it was a Samsung, and their printer division ended up being sold to HP, which is infamous for nasty practices with printers and DRM.
I would be very surprised how much of start-ups spending is driving AWS adoption (it's probably less than 5-10% of their revenue). In the UK alone a huge chunk of the public sector and FTSE100 corporate sector has migrated to AWS and Azure to the point where they are national security risk.

> higher brightness monitors

There's also an emerging market of RLCD (reflective LCD) monitors which don't use internal backlight but instead rely on external light. If the monitor receives enough light the image is pretty sharp (they _need_ external light to be usable).

They are mostly available in bigger sizes but their resolution isn't great yet (I haven't seen higher than 1080p). But it seems that due to different technologies used, the text should be quite smooth and not that pixelated.
The O'Reilly book Mastering Regular Expressions maybe worth it. Old but regexes haven't changed much.

[50-99] matches 5, any character in the range 0-9, or 9. So the 5 and second 9 are redundant.
Maybe I missed it, but where in this study does it state that the authors are involved in the manufacturing or processing of cannabis?

Edit: Thanks. I wasn't familiar with MITACS. It does look like they exist to assist industry funding of studies like this.
I would assume most 7200 RPM drives have similar energy requirements, although it does appear some drives get hotter than others so efficient cooling might increase those requirements by a bit. Cost of storage though can be a bit expensive. I was able to find 20TB CMR drives for around $329 each.
Cell Reprogramming
Low rates throw fuel on the fire by reducing the return on other viable options, and if in the presence of other asset inflation, helping to drive desperation for ‘positive’ returns.

If the safe option goes from ‘T-bills that don’t lose you money’ to ‘T-bills that defacto lose you 3-5% a year relative to price inflation in every asset you care about’, risk appetite increases.

Think of it like an investing Overton window.

They didn’t start the fire, but boy did they make it quite the bonfire.

I've never gotten into FPS eSports for this reason. To me, Starcraft is the perfect eSport - imperfect knowledge for the players. Perfect knowledge for the casters and viewers. It's a great moment when someone tries to hide something on the map, and it _almost_ gets scouted. Or to see a reaction in the player-cam when they discover what their opponent is doing.

I've played thousands of hours of Overwatch in the past few years, but have 0 interest in watching OWL.

How to evaluate LLM performance [video]
It could be preying, but it doesn't have to be. In recent decades we've seen a rise of IGMFY capitalism. But there are varieties of capitalist thinking that see companies as situated in a society that they are part of in a way that gives them duties as well as rights. That's not popular today, of course, but it's not impossible that we'd return to it.
For such a frequently utilized key combo, three keys is too many. On macOS cmd-c and cmd-v work everywhere, too. Windows it is ctrl-c and ctrl-v. Linux it is... dependent on what application you are using and wildly frustrating. Sure, you can remap keys, but then you need to start to really be concerned with config management, backing that up, etc. Getting 'up and running' from 0-hero on macOS takes a few minutes for me, but with Linux it's a couple of days of tweaking at this point.

Our household income is less than that and we definitely don't feel rich. We aren't poor by any stretch either. We live what one might call a fairly ordinary middle class lifestyle, though we are aware that these days the things we have--a house we can afford, stable jobs with decent benefits, no debts, some savings in the bank--mean we're really better off than a lot of people. It's a nonlinear curve.
Maybe, but it wouldn’t eliminate class difference one bit.

Stranger than waking people up from sleep for a custody disagreement, is when they'd broadcast those on TV... The purpose of those is not to find the kid, but to send a message to TV viewers, none of whom would be of any assistance in finding the kid.

You see this display of "care" with storm sirens being set off after the storm already passed the area.
Because it's entertaining and a classic for kids.
I vaguely remember reading somewhere that not only opiates are effective cough suppressants, they're in fact pretty much the only known effective cough suppressants, all other tried non-opiates being only very slightly better than placebo. Could be wrong, of course.

I'd gladly leave Spotify for a better alternative, and there is so much that could be done to make it better[1], but the article did little to point out Spotify's real flaws or make a compelling case for something better.
