"Thorium dust. Ready to breathe in."

Not nice nor recommended—hence my earlier comment about the use of masks whilst cleaning up the remains of broken thoriated tungsten filaments. Of course, a child of five or younger doesn't understand that when he/she sticks a finger on a gas mantle, nor I'd suggest would parents back then.

As a young child, I was lots of trouble, sticking knives and forks into power sockets, eating little bags of washing 'blue' and excreting a blue/green mess for days, eating dog excreta from the street and mother rushing me to hospital out of fright, eating poisoned flowers containing scopolamine and so on, so destroying gas mantles wasn't an unusual occurrence.

Back then, gas lighting was an important backup because there was a great deal of industrial trouble with power station and electricity workers and rolling strikes and blackouts were often a nightly occurrence, they'd occur just at the most inconvenient time of the evening, so gas lighting usage was commonplace. Trouble was I'd somehow climb up on a chair or table and reach up to the gaslight fitting on the wall and touch and break the mantle, knowing I did something wrong I didn't tell my parents. Come the blackout there was no light without a lot of scrambling about with flashlights whilst a new one was fitted.
>Also, why would we want to overpopulate?

Because population is key for the level of influence a country can have. A high population doesn't guarantee it, but a low population will likely sideline the country when important topics come up.
I completely agree -- it doesn't make sense.
You can also see the pains the Evernote team took from the initial Electron-based 10 release until it became usable again. But you could also feel the product moving again after stagnation on a gazillion native clients. It was the right albeit mostly final engineering decision they took.

I don’t feel the words “just” and “5x more cash” really fit in the same sentence!

Not questioning 3090s being more performant, but that’s a whole lot more money before even thinking about buying the supporting components.
Another one, JFYI, is Cubot.

I bought an el-cheapo, small (really small) one (originally only to manage EU green passes) that (after that use was over) I started using as a "backup" phone when I cannot carry the (larger, heavier) "main" one.

It turned out to be not bad at all, of course within its limits.

Highly recommend you study history a bit more. If you truly think religion only “sticks” in the presence of coercion… well there’s a lot of history that would be hard to understand.
I don't see anything particularly bad about SQL. If your problem is a recipe manager CRUD it's trivial. If it's more complex then than, any DIY thing is gonna be hard too. If you need some insane performance, SQL might not be right but any DIY thing will still be hard.
Of course it's not far fetched, it's an interesting way to look at the macro changes that happened in the last centuries in the world.

The latest Nvidia driver no longer supports the K40, so you’ll have to use version 470 (or lower, officially Nvidia says 460, but 470 seems to work). That supports CUDA 11.4 natively.

Ask HN: Please critique my metalanguage: “Dogma”
Hi HN!

Dogma (formerly KBNF) is a modernized metalanguage with better expressiveness and binary support, focusing on documentation. It follows the familiar patterns of Backus-Naur Form, and includes a number of innovations that make it also suitable for describing binary data.

Link here: https://github.com/kstenerud/dogma/blob/master/dogma_v1.md

I've been working hard after the feedback I got in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34720488 and would really appreciate another round of critiques :)

A lot of the changes were to harmonize the grammar so that the language "feels" more consistent with fewer surprising behaviors and edge cases.

If you use metalanguage grammars, please take a gander and let me know where Dogma might cause problems in your use cases!

Thanks :)

Exactly my thoughts, going back to the paper-age pattern of reading only that one publication or two that you subscribe to isn't a customer experience that feels like money well spent now that we have been spoilt by two decades of everything available via ads.

We absolutely should find a way of returning to paying about as much of our income for news as we did before (and not indirectly via ads), but those big fat one-publication subscriptions aren't the way. Even less when they get peddled with that "first 3 months only x" lure that's essentially a promise that they'll make unsubscribe harder than a fitness studio.

What I'd love to see instead isn't a "Spotify for news" (with all the power imbalance that would come with that) but a "federated subscription" where being a subscriber at your "home publication" would give you some form of guest access at "cooperating competitors", with a fixed part of the fee passed on based on tracked cross-publication usage. The organization running the thing would ideally be a non-profit cooperative, enforcing uniform rules about what exactly would be included in "guest access" (perhaps 24h latency + ads?). The biggest issue I see with this would be that it would kind of rule out pricing competition, but we already see a very limited amount of price variation amongst consumer online subscriptions anyways. (for some reason they are almost universally just marginally lower or higher than "one Netflix", no matter what's offered).

I don't see American presidents making religion "a major part of their platform" either. They get some photo ops in church just like British leaders, and they side with their voters on things like abortion, which breaks down roughly along religious lines without being explicitly so.

But a major policy decision directly targeting religion? The closest I can think of in the US is Trump banning immigration from majority-Muslim countries under the pretext of links to terror.

As for the rest of the Western world, you might think of Angela Merkel and Ursula von der Leyen, who explicitly represent the Christian Democratic Union.

Tricky. I live in a region that contains a lot of ski communities. AirBnB has trashed the rental market. I'm working on a deep-dive blog post on this, but basically local blue collar workers are being squeezed out entirely by short term rentals.

I work remotely in tech, but I want to continue living here year-round, contributing to the community.

Short term rentals are simply too lucrative compared to owning and long term renting. Much of this is the government's fault -- the tax system has a lot of loopholes, like mortgage interest deductions, depreciation, business cost deductions, and untaxed fees that make short term renting even mire lucrative. I hope the government steps in soon to remedy this, but considering their response to the housing crises in the past I am not hopeful.
It surely was the right decision, but it came too late.

If you mean British Prime Ministers, then we have for a long time been allergic to the discussion of religion in British politics; but that goes hand in hand with British reserve.

No, but nobody will encourage them to. Wordpress has fostered an ecosystem of bad practices that is mostly resistant to change.
> It's just a LOT of work to tailor the lesson plan for 30 students, rather than one.

Why bother? If they get it they can advance to the next lesson/unit/certification. If they don’t get out keep working individually or in a group with others of the same level, with the help of a teacher or a more advanced student. That’s how the monitorial[1] system worked.

GDP in "real dollars" is irrelevant here. Any such measurement can't correspond to something meaningful.

Rather "annual calories from agriculture per capita" would reveal much more of the reasons behind this and other upheavals in Europe during the period.

There were climate/weather changes (not well understood or appropriate to research in light of current climate changes) in Europe during 1500-1850, which caused starvation, upheavals, migrations, wars, and so on. They did not affect all areas simultaneously in the same way.

One problem I quickly ran into when I played around with WebGL a decade ago was that browser support was both unstable (things would break unpredictably on every update) and conditional. If you had the latest Nvidia GPU and drivers, it would mostly work. If you were on an older Nvidia GPU, AMD, or - heaven help you! - Intel integrated graphics, you would be lucky to see anything beyond a blank canvas.

You needed a recent gaming PC to run WebGL content. Why use it for that, when it could run vastly superior native games?

Eh. Apple has a Seattle office and she said she was on vacation while this happened. My understanding is that she has a problem with the secrecy. Keeping employee pay a secret from the actual employee is a bit unhinged and definitely unusual.

I think the point she is trying to make is that this one secret resulted in federal labor law charges that had nothing to do with her actual pay.

> When I moved cross-country to my hometown of Kirkland, Washington, a ‘high living cost area’, I received a wage increase that was less than 5%. It did not even cover the increase in the cost of living. I had asked ahead of time what to expect, but no one would tell me. Instead, my pay became unavailable for viewing until the day after I moved. I crowdsourced estimates so I could get a rental and plan my finances and budget. The data suggested a 10% raise.

> Ashley, another activist who I met while organizing in support of flexible remote work options, suggested I start a wage survey. I had done some research to see that my pay seemed to be low for the Seattle area amongst Apple’s engineers and she didn’t seem surprised. I asked in Slack if anyone was interested in doing one. They had started one just hours earlier. It was shut down. It happened again a few days later and it had happened 5 months earlier, too. They were all shut down by the People team citing security concerns around personally identifying information for gathering gender and racial information, which, they said, was against Apple’s policies for employee surveys.

> I thought that what they were doing was illegal, so I started my own wage transparency survey off Apple’s servers while I was on vacation for my move. Afterward, people were told not to participate, not to discuss their pay, not to engage with me at all, and I was told it was off-topic in several channels (including a women’s affinity channel where it was deleted without notice).

I used key combos [1] in QMK to map various keys to home and top row combos [2]. For example in QWERTY the combo of SD together is backspace, DF is tab, WE is escape, etc.

I also make the spacebar and key to the right of the spacebar (usually Alt) to a switch layers when held down with a thumb. This turns the left side of the board into a number [3] and symbol [4] like pad.

Advantage I find is it's much less motion and finger stress and is easily replicated on any keyboard that supports QMK while not QWERTY specific.

> What's the difference in lift/density of hydrogen vs hot air, like in a balloon?

Density data from Wikipedia:

Air @ STP: 1.225 kg/m³

Air @ 100°C (typical for a hot air balloon): 0.9486 kg/m³ → lifting force ~0.2764 kg/m³

Hydrogen: 0.0899 kg/m³ → lifting force ~1.1351 kg/m³

Helium: 0.1786 kg/m³ → lifting force ~1.0464 kg/m³

Subtract the density from air and you get the lift force (mass).
i.e. hot air can lift about 24% as much as hydrogen, or conversely, you need 4 times the volume.

There are hot air airships. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_airship

The key to the success of Flash was the combination of the player with a really good and accessible creation tool. That's what's missing from WebGL development, a flash style tool that scales from basic animation and interaction design up to full game development.

I was maybe 13 when I first used Flash (v3 in about 1999), way before I had much experience with "proper" coding. The fact that I could use it, the same tool professionals were using was what made it so special.

it's pretty easy to have children in France, like you have typically 25 + 9 paid days off per year (I personally can't use so many, being a company drone. So I have to take days off to see friends and family)

And it's ok to leave work on time to take care of your children _your coworkers understand that they are more important to you, and they make you happy.

You get a lot of assistance and encouragement from both the local governments and the social fabric. Like there are a lot of clubs to have children to do sports. They're managed by all the parents, by cities, schools,... So finding a hobby for your children isn't so hard.

middle class and low income families can get a lot of subsidies to help them pay for a lot of stuff for their children (including the (in)famous allocations familiales, and 'allocation de rentrée scolaire', that are just spent of flat screens according to right wing ppl)

And you can leave your children at some kindergarten or at they grandparents when you need.

So you can have children without being crazy rich like in the USA, or without being a Rabenmutter like in Germany, and you have time to take care of them.
