I'm pretty sure I caught COVID but thought I was constipated (suffer from that because I eat lots of tastey stuff).

Anyways, long story short - I'm pretty sure it was COVID .
You are correct. That RIC is a good way to know whether your local waste management system can accept the item.

GP is also correct, in that this RIC could have been a number surrounded by (say) a circle, a square, or a pentagon -- but instead, the manufacturers of plastic deliberately chose a triangle, *because it looks very much like the official "this is recyclable" symbol* as a calculated tactic to rely on people being misled by this similarity.

If most people understood how little of their plastic is actually recyclable, they might re-examine what they buy, and how often.
Then you have to wonder about how to make sure the link doesn't 404.

And your store idea invalidates having cheaper devices and cables and a ubiquitous protocol.

The only good thing about USBC is that if you moderately keep up to date with all your devices, eventually, recharging becomes relatively easy for all your devices. I don't think I've ever had a problem charging a USBC device. Generally everything charges everything. The high power devices like laptops are probably the exception since you need a brick that can deliver 65-80W[1].

1. One reason why Apple Silicon is so appealing. The M2 Air is plenty fast and basically consumes the power of an iPad. You don't need a 30W supply to charge it.
That’s what I meant. But the sibling thread somehow devolved into making fun of this idea!

What constitutes 'work'. On one extreme, a studio spending millions making a movie is a single piece of work. On the other extreme, a photographer might take 100 photos in a day that he/she offers for sales. The number won't work for the photographer.
Why can't we preemptively defend against foreseeable bad things happening? Why do we have to wait until we see them happen and only then react to them?
SABRE is ancient technology, but very reliable and at the same time extremely inflexible. Last time I saw it upclose in the early 2000's much of the core was still coded in IBM assembler, although over the decades more pieces were slowly being modernized so I have no idea where it is now. Sabre is a horrifically un- imaginative company where projects are measured in years and not much every changes.

I think though Southwest's issues are more on their side.

Yeah building a new GDS today is an exercise in insanity, it's a huge complexity nightmare and switching probably impossible. I always wondered if AI could eventually improve things, but the existing GDSs are unlikely to care much to try. It's basically a (tri)monopoly you can never break.
a good portfolio will be liquidated from equities to bonds as you get older. if there is a recession while this process is happening you both reduce your holdings and are at risk. not to mention that there's no guarantee that it will ever go back to what it was.
Worrying about "consciousness" is a dead end for now. We lack basic mechanisms for getting stuff done in an uncontrolled environment. That's why artificial intelligence is still too stupid to trust with anything important.
I think it’s hard to switch jobs in all cases and I doubt any universal rule applies. Software engineering is more than writing Pascal. It’s like saying you can be a mechanical engineer because you learned physics in college.

That is exactly what is written in the EULA you agreed with on the first run.
Even if the different interpretations currently have no testable hypotheses, it is still significant which interpretation you subscribe to, because it guides how you think about the physics, and may prevent you from thinking in certain directions, or “out of the box”.

The blog post’s Zen approach sounds like an agnostic stance, which probably isn’t a bad thing in that regard.
Ask HN: Has anyone tried to rewrite a law in Prolog?
Curious if it is possible and if it makes sense to define everything in a law or constitutional act as logical rules using a logic-based programming language such as Prolog.

It'd be really fun to simply type a logical question and directly see whether it is legal or illegal based on all the definitions.
This does not explain how a classical observer gets probabilities that are precisely measured. In universe-as-a-wave-function there are no probabilities. So how exactly do they arise and what they mean?
They were Soviet rather than 'Russian-style' and they very much had ways to 'borrow from the future' - externally they were connected to the global economy and there was an internal system of industrial credit and settlement strictly separated from the cash economy individuals used.

I'd worry that filtering out advertising will just surface those who hide their monetization better. Top 10 lists, paid reviews, guest posts.

https://millionshort.com/ allows you to filter out popular websites. It's a different approach of course.

I think there was a question about only returning non-Javascript-using websites recently, can't find it (maybe it was "plain text" or similar).
SuperMemo is proprietary software, and only works on Windows. Anki's algorithm is deemed adequate by most, and the benefits of newer algorithms which introduce more complexity are marginal/questionable.
It's a shame that this happened, but it's not unsurprising. If you put a probability of loss on every relic of antiquity, they multiply out to a substantial amount of destruction every year.

Ultimately it's a matter of cost. The cost to secure all of these pieces is extremely high. We won't be able to safeguard everything, but there are probably low hanging fruit in applying basic security measures to the items most at risk or of highest value.
Be advised that food in the US labeled “nitrate free*” or “uncured” still contains just as much nitrates as the unlabeled stuff. Nitrates are required of US manufacturers BY THE FDA for food safety and just because that’s what those foods are by their nature. The difference is that “uncured” uses fermented celery powder as a natural, indirect source of nitrates to cure the meat.

This labeling issue is not necessarily true outside the US. For example, the great hams of Europe like Prosciutto and Jamon Iberico are made with only salt, pork, and time

I've had exactly one device connector actually die. It was a Nokia phone where there was a design flaw. The backplate had an indentation where the charging port was that was just a little too deep, allowing the cable to wiggle a bit in the port, damaging it more than usual and eventually killing it.

The flaw was acknowledged by Nokia. It was handed down by a phone upgrade addict though so I couldn't be arsed to try and make a claim for free repairs or something.

I've had a lot of cables die though, but mostly because I bought them at a gas station in "need to charge asap" type situations.
Pitcairn, the tropical island that covered up a child-sex scandal
The United States, with its blue-water navy, is commonly viewed as a Thalassocracy by a certain segment of the historian community. You can really go down the rabbithole but basically some people view the US as, at least in part, having the culture of an island scaled up to the size of a continent.

There's a similar train of thought that sea-based empires defeat land-based empires when the two do battle and some people view the conflict between the USSR and the United States during the cold war through that lense.

SEC may take steep measures against HEX, founder Richard Heart accused of fraud
Congrats. Hopefully a better situation for you in the new year.
Ask HN: Besides crypto, what is the most valuable data that you can store?
Interest in the possibilities afforded by algorithms and big data continues to blossom as early adopters gain benefits from AI systems that automate decisions as varied as making customer recommendations, screening job applicants, detecting fraud, and optimizing logistical routes.

No doubt optimizing logistical routes is a problem for algorithm and has been studied since, idk, mid 1920s? With the invention of linear programming? Or maybe later but much earlier than the current wave.

In contrast, certain screen job applicants is done aggressively now, no doubt but there's not evidence imo that scanning does more than reduce interviewer workload.

And product recommendations is one of those constantly talked-of and generally bullshitty applications that average person can verify the ineffectiveness of.

Which is to say, perhaps algorithms today wind-up being used because they allow the meta-corp act a blind juggernaut, that this is the primary advantage the approach has, with the secondary advantage being justifying that operation and "greater efficiency" sometimes results but is more often an excuse.
It's a threaded discussion. I wasn't replying to you.
Its pretty great, I just wished it somehow integrated with rclone, I wish I could directly backup to google drive with it.
I don’t have a repo to show but I’ll try my best to explain

First I want to note that I do use React hooks. If I can some UI code in React, I will. DOM code would go in React

I just won’t put business logic in React ever. No non-UI side effects and no external state are allowed in my hooks

I still want my React components themselves to be a reusable library. My applications are basically a reusable logic library coupled with a reusable UI library. It’s that division that makes this style easy to read - your brain is either in UI mode or business logic mode. You never confuse yourself trying to figure out what it’s doing because you can just read one side and ignore the other

Whether you use a fat root state or not is honestly up to you. It’s really the separation that is key

I’d check out mobx examples

I know that’s not super specific and there are edge cases that you’ll run into, but my public repos are either Java and non-UI JS libraries ):

R2 has free egress meaning you don’t pay for bandwidth when serving your popular video
Your definition is fine.

Trevelyan was not a colonial administrator at the time, he was a civil servant in the treasury. He was a colonial administrator in other parts of his career.

The definition you cite doesn't match the conclusion you draw, since Ireland was a part of the United Kingdom. This is the sole point I was raising.

There is a wider pattern of English military, cultural, and political dominance within the UK. That complexity should argue for use of precise language and avoidance of provocative metaphor.

For Cornwall, Wales, Ireland, Scotland, the north, did the domination of England within the UK mean that their national freedom was curtailed? Yes. Is that bad? Sure. Does that make them colonies? No. They were not ruled by the FCO, did not have an appointed governor, did have a say in the laws that affected them.

To abuse the ugly counterexample you raise at the end: I'd have the same lack of patience for someone insisting that what is going on in Ukraine is "not a war" because of the involvement of two major powers. A "world war", it is not.
> The Mirning peoples had been in talks with the Australian government over needed changes to the site’s maintenance, asking for increased security and better access for the tribe to the caves. Currently, the tribe needs to request a key from the local environmental department to access the site, making it difficult for tribe members to visit and for the Mirning to protect the site.

This is absolutely infuriating and also kind of expected at the same time. It's the result of a culture that has permeated every Australian government agency at all levels.
> Hot cocoa in front of the fireplace is nice, but after a day of snowshoeing it's incredible

This makes a stronger point than the whole article.

However, the reward for the discomfort wasn't just cocoa. Snowshoeing is hopefully also enjoyable. My point in a comment up there was that you should probably save discomfort for things that have some kind of payoff. Hiking is an excellent example of that.
Eh....

An unsigned deb is better than an unsigned script as it keeps track of what files are deployed and you have a version number in a central list from dpkg -l

Sure something bad can still do things, but it tends not to splat files everywhere with no trace.
Several useful tips in here, but I was expecting to see some strategies for using a ReMarkable with this workflow and it's a glaring omission... perhaps this site is a bit dated now?

The tragedy of heritage sites in Syria being blown up in the past few years by ISIS also comes to mind. Turkey plundered as much as possible before ISIS C4'd the sites.
I know this is going to be an unpopular opinion but I don't really think this is THAT big of a deal. Yea, I know the art is old and all that and it really is unfortunate but its also the nature for all things to change.

Maybe in another 30k years, we'll be looking at the defacement as an amazing piece of art that tells the story of the current social climate at this point in time, or something along those lines.

Going by its P/E, its still overpriced compared to every other car manufacture, but its getting back down to a rational level. Its only 6x Ford and GM and about 4x Toyota.
I hate to say this from an engineering stand-point, but that's because the nature of programable circuits and the systems that are derived from them. Thinking in terms of the plight of Bell Labs and how the demise that made them filthy rich, but also started the end of their company. I think you're wrong on a few levels, but mostly undervaluing the nature of how software on embedded systems are infinitely changeable. It's where hardware like SDR USB devices have yet to really be realized, but they almost future proof your hardware. Why innovate in hardware? You don't have to anymore for decades and still find useful ways to flash remote systems and exponentially make them useful. I have a 1st generation Amazon Echo - the thing is so over-engineered it'll last another decade and services will still work on it.

I value hardware, but I value versatility more.

The Box ( https://www.amazon.com/Box-Shipping-Container-Smaller-Econom... ) has some interesting things to say about this.

In that book, the ordinary logistical setup is that ships tend to cover individual transit routes, which means that a delay affecting one ship doesn't spread through the system. Malcom McLean tries to set up a system of ships that always sail east instead, and it fails very badly, because delays on each individual leg of the (infinitely long!) route accumulate instead of happening and then fading away.

I've found desktop upgrades to be poor as well. For gaming it's great, you can upgrade to the latest graphics card and get a huge boost but for work not so great. By the time I want a new CPU I'm going to need a new motherboard to allow the next series of CPU.

I find I end up replacing so much that buying a new PC is not much more expensive.

I tried Restic first due to its support of rclone. But it created many small files which is difficult to sync over my high-latency cloud service. I also saw an issue on Github about data loss, so I switched to using borg. Very satisfied with borg. Side note: they offer single compiled binaries for borg too.
I don't know a whole lot about Rust. I think Rust is a great language for writing Database components and systems. For example plugin for PostgreSQL. Previously this would be done in C. You could still do this in C today too. Data Engineers are heavy users of databases and different data stores, but they normally don't design database systems.
Times the Mona Lisa Was Vandalized or Stolen
I am increasingly coming to wonder if the non-biodegradability of plastic should be regarded as a feature rather than a bug.

This stuff is made of oil. The last thing we want to do with oil, from an environmental standpoint, is turn it into greenhouse gases. The best way to accomplish that would be to leave it underground. Since we're not doing that, perhaps the second best thing is to convert it into a solid material and then put it back underground. It seems like landfills are our chance at keeping this stuff reasonably contained, and, in that setting, the fact that it lasts forever hopefully means that this carbon we dug up from underground won't end up in the atmosphere quite so quickly.

All other options seem to ultimately lead toward large-scale greenhouse gas emissions, air pollution and water pollution. Recycling seems to be, at best, a more scenic route to that same destination.
Without knowing the details, I'd guess that in order to link the VDP, you'd need to connect via pins that weren't available on the cartridge slot or the expansion slot. It would have to have been planned (or at least considered) during the design of the genesis/megadrive.

If you gave the name to the chef they’d wonder wtf somebody was doing mixing pasta and bone marrow and putting it in a bun.

Putting pasta into a sandwich makes slightly more sense than making a bun out of a specific pasta shape and I guess that’s missing from the model, but really it did a decent enough job here.

I don’t know when we’ll be at a place where if you ask a model for something and it comes back and tells you no and why that’s a dumb suggestion.
The amount of pollution from individual private cars is nominal, but the amount of pollution from cars en masse (especially in concentrated road structures like highways) is substantial[1]. It becomes even more substantial when you mix in commercial car (read: diesel) traffic[2].

I am not sure why you are being downvoted. There is plenty of artistic expression in programming. Maybe we need to make more distinctions in the types of work that we do because I would love to see programming become a true engineering profession but we still need the artists and tinkerers in the world pushing the boundaries that we don't even know exist yet. We should not push out DaVinci or the Wright brothers but we should make sure critical systems are safe.

From a friend that works there this is not a staffing issue. It is a software issue. Apparently, their system that tells them what staff is where is broken and doesn't know where anyone is. So now they need everyone to call and tell them where they are to update the system, but the phone lines to do so are totally overwhelmed. This is also causing them to be unable to book hotels for the staff that is stranded. Most people are just buying their own hotels and hoping for reimbursement in the future.

I believe I read an article (by jerry pournelle?) where he was fine with copyright before 1976 - 28 years with a renewal for an additional 28 years. I believe the normal thing authors worked out was the publisher would get the first term, then the author could renew and get next 28 years.

That seems entirely reasonable to me.
