I mostly agree (I was working with sudo make install in order to package neatroff). However, most of the build scripts which generate binary packages for distros etc use `make install`, usually with DESTDIR set, so it's not irrelevant.

I also think `sudo make install` should at least work as expected in this one case, especially because this project isn't widely packaged so most users will be building from source.
We (well, at least in the UK) have plenty of them. It's all that tricky, expensive, and financially unrewarding infrastructure that's holding things back.

We pay Scottish windfarms about £200million per year to curtail their output, just because we can't get the power from source to sink.
1. Humans have not been eating cows produced by modern methods for millions of years. Cow diet, genetics, and lifecycle is quite unnatural at this point. (This is the overwhelming bulk of cow consumption, of course your local micro farm produces cows more similar to ancient cows)

2. Humans haven’t been eating cow (or meat generally) on this scale ever before in history.

3. Even despite the above, we genuinely don’t know to what extent baseline human health is dependent on traditional diet. It’s not impossible that there exists a modern radical diet that greatly improves health and longevity without including any “natural” foods.
Always is a relative term. I can assure you that as recently as the 1990s there were large swaths of the U.S. where if you didn't consume meat at each meal you would essentially be branded a communist.

I think it would be more accurate to say it exposes to the high performers that they are being cheated. Those employees are donating their time & effort to the company so that their bosses can drive fancy cars, fund yacht racing teams, take tourist trips to LEO, buy social media companies to use as toys, and pay off politicians to keep those same employees desperate. The owners want employees fighting amongst themselves for scraps because it keeps them distracted from their real enemy.
I appreciate the replies. I went into the closet and found it. It is indeed Boston's debut album from 1976. There is some information inscribed into the center area on Side 1, including a (serial?) number and what looks like a signature. "Wey" or "Wly", most likely. No idea. Some quick internet searching didn't get any hits.

Oh yeah, the original shrink wrap is still there, just opened on one edge so the record can come in and out. The shrink wrap has a large sticker on it with a Rolling Stone blurb printed on it, letting me know that Boston is a great new band and reviews of a couple songs on the album.

None of it is in great shape, so I doubt that it is worth much of anything.

EDIT - The signature is "Wly"

One of the trends on Hacker News right now is the assumption that SQLite fixes everything. It's the Flex Tape of the software world.

There is zero reason a process would have more than tiny slowdowns with even millions of files in a folder. Finder has problems if you're trying to look at that folder, for obvious reasons, but it's a bit of a self-own for a backup co to claim that 200,000 files causes their solution to break. That speaks to serious algorithmic issues.

Chiming in, same experience. Partner has ADHD, but I feel like it’s so common nowadays it can be cause of everything.

You have rock solid support system elsewhere I see. I’m curious how do you feel about them ignoring the texts? Would you feel different, perhaps even insecure if the your partner wasn’t dependent on you?
This is why I use my Matrix bridges. XMPP has bridges too, of course (that's what the Matrix bridges were inspired by) but it seems the "up and coming" status of Matrix helps the bridges be maintained better.

FWIW, the EU has passed the Digital Markers Act which requires big tech companies to open up their platform. It'll take a while before it takes effect, but unless Apple, Google, Meta and all others are going the very expensive "fine me and we'll see what happens" route, we should soon see movement towards an environment where different apps can talk to each other again.

The tech industry being what it is, there is no real standard for interoperability yet, though there is an IETF taskforce working on setting up a standard companies may follow: https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/mimi/about/

This, critically, considers encrypted messages in a standard way so that we don't lose E2EE in the process.
I've never crashed my car driving in downtown Seattle. But FSD cannot handle downtown Seattle or downtown Chicago from the videos seen on YouTube. The crashes would be at least one per day. It's even unacceptable for a system such as this to crash the car once per year when it's a $40,000+ purchase.
I'm not a parent but that sounds like parenting on hard mode.

And I couldn't agree more - because I don't argue over every little thing, I feel like my opinions are more respected and heard when I do. (Or maybe that's just a projection of how I respond to others.)
I'm like you. An ex of mine claimed that most people never even think about committing suicide. It's hard for me to understand how anyone could avoid such an obvious thought, but I have since seen a lot of evidence that some people's minds really don't explore the possibility space, and when they do it's only along prescribed paths... So I guess it's possible?
First, checkboxes and toggles are not buttons, so that's a slightly deceptive way to describe it. If you use "checkbox" instead, it's immediately clear who's right:

> and the people who think the [checkbox/toggle] should show what state it will change to when activated

These people are wrong. The simplest thing should be the default and this adds extra indirection (projecting future state from current state), therefore it's not the simplest, therefore it's wrong.

Unless of course you mean something strange by "activated".
Yeah, variance between different system utilities is one of the biggest underrated perils of shell scripting. For a long time, I worked on a team that mostly used Macs to administer Linux servers, which led to some confusing issues when people tested certain commands locally and then tried to use them on a server.

It would be nice if shellcheck had checks to detect common BSD/GNU incompatibilities and warn about them so you don't have to catch them in the moment.
There is an easy answer: "Disable Fnurbification" is not what should be in the code. Present the right interface to the user, and fix the code when practical. Presenting something backwards to the user only makes it harder to fix later.
Yes, I'm adding support for arbitrary text-based formats, including LaTeX. So it will be possible to write LaTeX and see a live HMTL preview generated by Pandoc.

In principle, it should be possible to create a PDF preview with proper SyncTeX support for synchronizing LaTeX source and PDF preview locations, but that gets complicated when Pandoc+LaTeX generate the PDF. It may be best to leave LaTeX-PDF previews to dedicated LaTeX previewers that don't involve Pandoc.
I'm still figuring out semantics, but currently a "commit" is made every time you make a change to a file which is synced to the remote. Every time you run `jam`, you push a commit. Or if you leave `jam` running, commits will be made each time you save. 3-way merging will be possible in the future, but will be a little different than most VCS since there is no history stored locally.
This doesn’t really surprise me. Apple is really good at miniaturization but they also have an aversion to cables.

If they still can’t get an Apple Watch to smoothly and consistently stay connected to an iPhone, AR is pretty much DoA unless they want to run the whole package on the glasses.
How does that work if they use fake blood?
> easy it is to buy a gun.

This really needs to be written / said better. It is not as easy as just thinking to yourself, I want a gun, walking into a gun store, grabbing it off a shelf, swiping a card at a self-checkout machine and walking out with a new gun in hand.

This is not the case at all.

There are states with a wait period, there are background checks, there are forms that if you lie on it is considered a felony, the person selling the gun can say no at any moment, if you are being a total creep, chances are they will not sell you a gun. In some states you cannot buy certain firearms before you're 21.

Gun control is a complicated subject. I think the anti-gun / gun control crowd should really step into a gun store and learn first hand what the experience really is when buying a firearm. They don't need to buy anything, but I guarantee the person who sells the gun will be happy to answer any and all questions they have. They literally have to know the process in order to sell guns! You have to be licensed to sell guns in a gun store.
That's how cloud speech recognition is usually deployed. OpenAI whisper is faster than realtime on regular desktop CPUs, which I guess is good enough.

I'm not a fan of plant-based meat, this is most likely because of my culture ( I'm Sardinian ), we do have many meat based dishes and many plant based dishes, and honestly I don't see the need to cook the meat based ones with processed food that tries to replicate the taste and consistency of meat.

I believe that if you don't want to eat meat there's a world of recipes that do not involve meat and are made to elevate the delicate taste of veggies. I've grow up with eating whole foods, we cook everything from the base ingredients, sometimes we even make those base ingredients ( for example we have sheeps and cows and we make milk, and out of milk we make cheese ), personally for me pre-packaged food appears as the sub-optimal choice
It's also not too difficult to hook up a GH actions job to generate the documents with pandoc and spit them out directly into dropbox/sharepoint for "non-techie consumption". Great for semi-technical documentation that bis/sales/support people need to be in the loop on.

But at the same time I am kinda glad not to see another half baked AR come out, especially from someone like Apple (or Google) that has a big enough name that many will know about it.

If this news has anyone tempted to dust off an old jabber.org account, you may get an "account disabled" notification when trying to log in. Try again in an hour or so and you should be able to log in successfully.

Why? We've had well over a million accounts registered at jabber.org. We came up with a hacky solution to speed up the migration: we initially imported all accounts that have been active in the past 6 months. Now we're importing them on an on-demand basis. If you attempt a login and your data has not been migrated yet, you'll get "account disabled" error but your account will be prioritized for import during the next migration run (which is now running asynchronously multiple times per day).

Also note that the migration this weekend was just the first step in bringing the service back to life, it's still lacking a number of modern features that are widespread elsewhere in XMPP these days (for example, no push notifications for mobile clients). We'll be turning these things on over the coming weeks.

Finally, once the dust settles, we'll be looking towards the future of the service. Potentially opening up registration again (closed since 2013) and options to help the service be more self-sustaining (such as accepting donations).

My perspective from France:

Fake meat has never been so available. There are several restaurants that serve it that are not your "we are explicitly vegan" restaurants, burger king served some, and all major supermarkets have it in stock in the freezers right next to normal meat. However, the price is still unattainable. A few days ago i bought patties to make burgers and meat was about 1 euro/100g and plant meat was about twice as expensive. For as long as it is more expensive, people are going to buy real meat, unless they're trying it (in terms of taste i think it's fine) or vegan.
Invention of agriculture through industrial revolution is not most of history. Meat would have been very much an ordinary thing to a hunter gatherer.

- Barometric pressure
- TAF / forecast
- Wind shear

All of these things can’t be measured easily by a human. Visibility is probably the easiest, but can you tell me what the dew point is easily?

If we're talking simple math on magnification:

It's very easy to find macro lenses that have 5:1 magnification, meaning that an object is projected onto the sensor 5x it's size. Taking 1.7 mm and projecting that onto a Canon R5 45 MP sensor with 5x magnification gives us something that would be around 1934 pixels in length (just under 1/4th the width of the sensor that is 8192 effective pixels wide).

I think you can convert 5x into 10x or 15x pretty easily without much loss in image quality.

That's not the problem, the problem is getting enough light (without boiling your specimen, which they briefly mention) and nailing the focus. At such magnification, both problems are challenging.

Abandon guided meditations and audio-based meditations, and focus to a simple programme of breath-focus. You just:

1. sit quietly and comfortably

2. breathe through your nose

3. find the feeling of air moving in and out of your nose

4. observe that feeling of air

5. if your mind starts observing other thoughts instead of the breath feeling -- 'I have an itch', 'this sitting position is uncomfortable', 'what about my meeting tomorrow' -- you notice your observation has left the air-in-your-nose feeling, and you gently redirect it back to focusing on that instead of the thoughts.

6. Repeat. You'll slowly increase from 2-3 seconds of focus to minutes at a time.

> 3. Most importantly, unsurprisingly, I suck at it. I keep trying every now and then; maybe I'll give it another go :)

You're better off with 3-5 minutes daily, regularly, than with longer sessions sporadically. It's a matter of practice and getting the knack of concentration down. Slowly increase to 10-15 minutes a day over a month or two, and really focus on getting the technique mastered more than anything.

The book Mindfulness in Plain English is both available freely online, and my favourite guide to getting it right.
IMO: The real problem is that the plant-based-meat crowd really let their imaginations run away without using much common sense.

The market for plant-based fake meat is much smaller than they believe. They thought they would displace animal based options on menus; but instead they displayed traditional veggie burgers and ticked off the people who should have been their biggest advocates.

IMO: Cultured meat has a much better chance at displacing traditional meat. You can substitute it, because it's the same exact thing, and it won't make any difference.
The app “Balance” is decent, and they give a year free on it (or gave, anyway).
