No, this is just one of many reasons I haven't yet bought a smart TV. I probably will give in this year, but only because I can finally afford something much larger than what I have today.

Here's the thing: At the end of the day, a smart TV has capabilities that I don't need or want, including to change how it functions without warning or consent. However unlikely the possibility is, a smart TV still has the capability to connect to an open network, phone home, and start doing shit I don't want, which means I have to trust it to not do that.

On the other hand, my old dumb TV has none of those capabilities, so I can trust it precisely because I don't need to trust it. I know it can't do anything except display what it receives on its inputs.

Therefore, any time I've considered replacing my TV with a newer one, I've always weighed predictability against uncertainty and opted in favor of the predictability of what I own.

Maybe that's overly paranoid of me, but at the end of the day, I just haven't wanted a new TV as much as I've wanted something I can trust.

So? Do you seriously think the solar company was ignorant of the loan terms? Was this their first job and they just didn't realize it?
There's plenty of value for pot in society, for some people it means they no longer are dependent on opioids for example. That being said, the Canadian government thinks this is worthy to fund, grant support for cannabis research can come from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, and because of this the bulk of the literature in recent years is published by researchers in Canadian universities.

The DIY part of the solar market and now most none Tesla options have moved towards Lithium Phosphate batteries, particularly in rack mount format. They're denser and way easier to handle then lead acid.

30kwh of batteries is about $10k wholesale, and inverters run about $1500, although most of the time you need 2 if you want to supply 240v.

If I understand you correctly, you're saying that lawyers are primarily solitary and software projects require a team? Do I have that right? Law firms still have a hierarchy: there are senior partners, junior partners, articling students, etc. From my lay understanding the business is still organized around "a lawyer" being the top of the food chain.

> Similarly, law firms are organized very differently from tech companies and it's a function of their products / markets / business models / stakeholders / general situations.

It's hard to disagree there, purely from a historical perspective. Google was started by a bunch of developers and it looks like a traditional corporation now with layers and layers of middle management. Perhaps this is the most efficient type of an organization for a large software maker. One interesting alternative are tech coops [0]:

> Worker-owned cooperatives are business enterprises that are owned and governed by their employees. All worker cooperatives have two common characteristics: 1) member-owners invest in and own the business together, and share the enterprise’s profits, and 2) decision-making is democratic, with each member having one vote.

Subcutaneous is waaay more bioavailable if I am not mistaken.

If we take the poster with good faith we can assume he genuinely thought the doctor might know some useful ways he could be of help that neither he nor his wife knew. Even if there wasn't (which seems unlikely to me) I feel like good bedside manner should extend to a patient's loved ones when possible. Simply addressing him politely to say "Just be available and help as you can." would have be a far kinder way to blow off an anxious person.
The reason I mentioned c# is because it feels like "if Java adopted new features at a decent rate" and these days pretty much all of it is MIT licensed. Coming from Java to c#, I found it much more ergonomic and productive mostly due to less boilerplate and more concise syntax sugar. There are several ways to compile it to native if you need to and it has great c/c++ ffi support, although if you're doing a lot with microcontrollers you'll end up writing c/c++ eventually. Luckily a lot of big langs (c/c++/c#/Java) have similar syntax and concepts since they all sort of started from c.

I'd suggest waiting until you learn some java/c# before starting on c/c++, or instead starting at old school c (k&r c) or arduino c++. Modern c++ is a beast to learn.

The vast minority of utilities in the United States, by number of customers served, are investor-owned; publicly-owned and co-operative utilities only cover 50m people.[1]

Theoretically, the grid is supervised by the California Public Utilities Commission, which has wide latitude to set standards and regulations for PG&E and others. The Public Utility Code is the highest law in the state of California[2], so IMHO a large part of the blame for PG&E's failures fall on CPUC's failed oversight[3][4]

Odd question. Why is this person creating such a strong reaction in some? Unless I am mistaking him for someone else, he struck me as an educated version Joel Osteen ( with oddly similar outlook on life ). I watched some of his videos and found little beyond somewhat generic 'good things come if you work for them' prosperity gospel equivalent.
I'm not talking about C++ at all!

My entire point is that caching is hard and tightly coupled to the design of the language, and things like typechecking are not really that slow compared to the other work a compiler has to do. Choosing an in memory representation is not really a secret recipe for performance or utility, designing the way the cache gets updated and what it stores is.

I think the idea of a core language with multiple syntaxes is interesting, but I'd contest that the system to implement it is any faster.

> Everybody involved in the "LSP revolution" would disagree, I think.

I reached this conclusion after writing a language server and researching other language servers. The tide is changing to where the primary compilers for languages are query-oriented compilers like Roslyn that allow for this kind of thing, but they aren't nearly as common as batch compilers so language server authors find themselves writing everything from scratch. Interestingly though, big portions like type checkers can be reused if they have stable input/output IRs because they're not slow (however, compiler authors are loathe to expose those details or make stability guarantees there).

And coming from a completely different genre, 808's and Heartbreak by Kanye from 2008. Hated on release by everyone (both critics and the audience), it wasn't "rap enough", people weren't thrilled by electronic tons and sadboy singing.

Less than half the decade later, the critical and public opinion took a full 180, with plenty of new major artists (like Brockhampton) claiming they owe their entire music career to that album. You could easily hear the influence of that album pretty much all over other artists' works.

Disclaimer: yes, I am aware that over the past few years Kanye had become a person doing things that are hard to defend in any way, but that's not something I am trying to do here at all. A lot of those actions are pretty much indefensible. However, his personal behavior doesn't change the impact of his music from 2008 on the industry and music as a whole.
Qi2 Wireless Standard ensures enhanced consumer convenience and efficiency
Honestly from what you're saying, I'd pass. Time is too precious. I mean, if you think you might have a Jamie and Adam type of relationship (mythbusters) where you don't always see eye to eye but you always do amazing work together, that's great. But if you don't see that now, and have that professional respect already, then I dunno.

Have you discussed this with him? And if not, why not? You'll be tackling much bigger issues together in the future, so tackle this one. What does he think? It might be as simple as saying "You know, we have a lot in common and I think we could work together, but our personalities just don't seem to click. I'm concerned about working together long term. What do you think?"

All of the Kafkaesque problems that we see with account lockouts and HN being used as the support channel for problems with major tech players gets ugly and turns into outright corruption. As the social contract in the US decays it becomes more common to simply pay bribes to get employees to reinstate accounts. We've already seen headlines about the porn star who was sleeping with facebook employees in order to get her instagram account reinstated.

This will get worse as some people defend the current practices as useful economics because most of us get cheap services most of the time, for only a few people in the herd getting singled out for the Kafka treatment. There will be strong opposition in a lot of quarters from trying to impose any kind of regulations to fix these problems and they will become entrenched and just the way of living and doing business. People will start to openly talk about how to bribe tech companies as a cost of doing business as the US slowly slides into more of a third world mentality. We'll wind up in the world of _Brazil_ (the Movie) only with private enterprise bureaucracy leading the way.
Thanks-- I am in a lucky situation where I have no shortage of Korean people to speak with so that's not an issue. I can listen and understand pretty well, but producing Korean feels slow and difficult. It's a plateau I'm trying to overcome and feel like there's no good practice/thing that has helped much.

One recommendation has been to spend more time writing in Korean (like blogging) to better put my thoughts into the language and I guess in theory, means I would become quicker in conversation.
>What happened to assigning responsibility to the responsible party?

I think this is a good example of exactly that. Just because someone is at the end of a causal chain does not make them solely responsible. That's why in tort law, damages are often apportioned among defendants. Presumably, Spain already extracts fines for littering from the end user, this is just adding some liability to another culprit in the causal chain.
Well, given that the top 1% in the US owns over 43% of all wealth (numbers as of 2011), and who by definition are getting a bigger benefit from all the infrastructure and protections of the system than everyone else, not seeing how a 38.8% contribution of total tax income is anything but a distortion favoring the wealthy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wealth_inequality_in_the_Unite...

Particularly since you carefully ignore that income is typically small fraction of the wealth of the 1%, most of which is capital and which largely escapes taxation.

Show HN: A template Python project for bootstrapping production ready code
I know a lot of these exist, but this template has helped me impress several hiring managers during the take-home project portion of interviewing so I thought I should put it in a repo template and share :)

I also use this template when I have an idea for an open source python project and don't want to lose momentum setting up the project.
This is how it works in rural areas of the U.S. Rural areas have far fewer options for government subsidized housing than in or around cities, but lax or absent habitability enforcement means there's a broader spectrum of options available before you're forced to sleep rough. You'll also see people building make-shift electrical and plumbing hookups, albeit buried so less visible than the iconic aerials in, for example, Latin American barrios. This is part of the reason sleeping rough is relatively uncommon in rural areas. OTOH, this is also how you get the sad but true stereotype of rural people living in roach and rat infested trailers, sometimes barely standing or already caving in. (Hollywood depictions of rural poverty tend to be more charitable if condescending--what they depict as squalor is usually just old, not unsafe or unhealthy, which I guess is similar to most depictions of barrios, now that I think about it.) But those situations aren't the majority.
How would you do it the other way? If you started off as disagreeable and had to learn agreeability? Do you think you could do that without ever being an ass? Do you think it's fair that you got a chance to develop towards a happy middle but someone working from the other end would never get that chance?
I find I occasionally look at "huge" text files in my day job, but they're almost never source files -- so I don't need syntax highlighting, jump to definition, etc.

I learned from this website. I would recommend it to people who already know how to program another language.
Exactly-- the number of young people still living at home has surged in the last decade. This is not surprising given that "starter homes" are one of the main targets of housing speculators. People who would buy their first house rent longer, driving up rental rates and putting the transition from family to independence further out of reach for many.

I'm still not entirely clear on freelancing vs consulting to be honest. I've worked both in smaller and larger companies and the management track simply makes more money.
Similar experience. I suffer from PTSD. A friend recommended ketamine therapy.

Ketamine hole is wild. The first time was the most intense and almost impossible to describe. I now understand what an "altered state" is really all about. It's like all of my senses were turned off, but my consciousness was fully present and I could think clearly. Even though I lost my senses, I could hear music more clearly than I ever could, it's like it permeated my whole being.

Later times are less intense, and a bit predictable, since my brain is more used to the altered state. I've gone probably 8 times in 2 years (6 in the first year, twice last year). It's pretty expensive, so unless you're getting real life-changing results I say it's fun to try but not necessary. It's a small reset of sorts. A nice pick me up.

The biggest upside is that it opens up a part of your mind you didn't know was there. Kinda gets the junk out of the way. I found it is a good place to contemplate things and think about bigger picture. The perspective I gained in my inner space I get to carry with me outside.

Every time I go the clinician asks me what is it that has brought me here. I tell them it's like deciding it's time to get a massage. You don't really need it, and will do just fine without it, but it's a nice thing to do for yourself from time to time.

YMMV

I've been very impressed by lapce's pace of development. Imo, open source text editors are going to fully supplant closed-source.

Perhaps 10x is a killer app if you only use C++, but for a modern day polyglot experience, I'm betting on lapce.
"Tradeoff" implies you have to choose, like there's no way to have power without being a jerk. This is demonstrably false. It's just hard.

This system only had enough power to run a small light, IIRC.
Oops. Thanks for the correction. I only lightly skimmed the project page, so I think the "Support 10x Development" header made me assume it was an open source project asking for donations.

That said, I'm not really sure why I specified "open source" since my gripe definitely goes for any software project, and probably doubly so for commercial ones, since those actually need a literal sales pitch to convince potential users of their value proposition.
> Or calculated the costs of all the airplanes flying around

This is the key comparison. A 747-400 burns 10+ metric tons of kerosene per hour, which means its basic energy consumption is > 110MW. The cost to train GPT-3 was approximately the same energy spent by one 8-hour airline flight.
Thanks for the correction. Looks like ImageBoss was also (separately) blocked which was confusing me.

Apparently HN is very opposed to the idea of personal responsibility, judging from the response. Just because you don't like a company doesn't mean you can hold them responsible for the actions of others. We're talking about littering here, not the act of smoking itself. The tobacco companies didn't force them to litter, that was a choice they made as individuals.
The joke (somewhat exaggerated) is that there are no actual local people who live there (i.e. in tourist towns which are small); all houses there are now Airbnb, leaving no houses for local people to live in. It follows that there are no such people as “locals”, which was the word used by the post I was replying to.
I use to not only agree with this sentiment but was an evengelist about it.

Then fixing a lot of bugs due to people (including myself) getting indentation wrong when refactoring python got me wondering.

Then languages servers convinced me indentation is best left to editors and that the cost of braces, semi-colons, etc... is tiny compared to the huge benefit of knowing with 100% certainty and at zero cognitive cost where a block starts and ends.
Liquidity for short term housing is valuable to who? Do you think most people here or otherwise care about speculators? We don't.
"Pre-war levels" is a disingenuous sleight-of-hand. Gas was at €15-20 in winter 20-21 before Zelensky declared his intent to assault Sevestapol, after which the price gradually quadrupled. All before Russia invaded.

Okay, but surely my poorly written dockerfile that grabs the wrong images and runs broken code is not Debian's or python's problem?

Older versions of debian that still support python2 will theoritically be around forever, and any codebase that absolutely needs them should always work.

(though I contend that, given that we've had 15 YEARS of warning that this was coming, such instances should be vanishingly rare and not under active development)
Hey how far along are the side projects when ppl apply to SP? Is there a penalty if people are too far along?
Yeah, Multiple Sclerosis. Though I do have a master's degree, but it's not an MS funnily enough.

It matters because if we're talking biology, there aren't many people who are like 'yeah, I'm going to have the cripple carry my child!' and dating as a female with a progressive disease is not great. So from a social standpoint, I am also an 'extra' 'useless' body, like how these men tend to feel.

Absolutely nothing! January 1st is a day just like any other day. If you believe turning of the year will give you some magical outcome, you are gullible. If you have or had a resolution, you should've started working on that, the very same day you though about it, not waiting for Jan 1st to come.

My printing app (for Sailfish OS) is now pretty much done.
https://github.com/attah/harbour-seaprint
It works very well with the vast majority of even remotely modern networked printers, and has no dependency to CUPS, foomatic or other legacy stuff.

For this year i'll learn from my mistakes and move over any remaining logic from QML/JS to C++ so that it can be made useful for other OSes, for the remote chance that anybody would care about it.

Since QML has many dialects and basically needs duplicated effort for several platforms, the "frontend" part should be as slim as possible.
