There is a massive difference between a 100 acre farm and a 11k acre farm.

A 100 acre farm (producing generic commodity crops) won't have be able to afford fully modern equipment described higher in the comment chain. Even with mostly 20th century equipment you'll be surprised at the ratio of total assets to annual profit for a 100 acre farm. The numbers might be $3M-9M of assets for $100k-300k profit.

The economies of scale conspire to push farms to consolidation. The equipment that increases productivity will receive higher usage rates, so capital investments are more efficient. If you have anything between 80-5000 acres you will clearly be better off liquidating everything and playing the markets. It'll be less work, safer, and more profitable. The family farm died in the dust bowl.
Luv manual tests. With everything that ships I bullet point a list of tests that theoretically would be written. Then I test the most important ones by hand. I’ve never had to retest yet, but theoretically if something was wrong i can start debugging by poking at these tests. If something broke at all i could even automate that specific test
The reason is header files. If you do `using namespace std::something` in one file and it gets included in another, the other file now has std::something in the global namespace which it may not have excepted.

Other languages like Java have imports scoped a to a single file, so this is not a problem.
My Mathematica solutions are a bit shorter than my Python solutions mainly because of convenient functions like PrimeQ, Binomial, ContinuedFraction.

Throughout the lifecyle. There is no irrigation beyond natural irrigation in my part of the country. They clay soil is pretty good at holding onto moisture. But they do factor is runoff. They also use the weather cycle to their advantage, and do not apply near rain events.
re: NixOS, not sure exactly what this entails, but i'd love a standardized approach to getting my Nix Flakes onto a NixOS system.

Right now i have this adhoc bootstrap process and it feels a bit silly. I get it's slightly different to getting Nix itself installed, BUT, it's also somewhat related from a user point of view. It would be interesting to see something handle this out of the box.
One doesn’t punish a member of the Einsatzgruppen for identifying as Aryan, one punishes them for being a member of the Einsatzgruppen.

Incidentally — though perhaps not all that surprisingly — what a member of the Einsatzgruppen would sneer and spit as just punishment arrived would look pretty much like what you’ve written in air quotes there.

> I don't like Python [...] but it's the language I'd reach for first if I was teaching someone how to code

Damn, that's crazy. Considering how many of those people would be coming from Windows and Python isn't actually[1] a batteries-included situation, I'd go with JS. I'd say, "Look: here's how you can get started right away making little programs that run in your browser right now even when you don't have WiFi," then at the point where other people might start introducing Node (or Deno), I'd say, "You should really learn Go." I'd preface the JS stuff by saying, "mostly ignore EVERYTHING that you come across telling you how tech influencers on the Internet think you should be writing JS. (For example, if at any point during this stage you find yourself pressing the key for the equals sign three times in a row, then you have already lost sight of the trail—and the plot.) Instead of listening to StackOverflow and GitHub, here's a copy of ECMA-262, 3rd edition (notice how it's still accurate, even though it's from 1887) and an offline copy of developer.mozilla.org for reference."

In my yard, I didn't plant any milkweed but I found them growing on its own. Or at least, Google Lens told me it's milkweed. How do I know if they are native or not? How do I know if they are harmful or beneficial to the ice system, and whether I should remove them or let them grow? Where do you get this knowledge?
They don't have joins at all because of how expensive binary joins are to do. NoSQL pre-joins relations (graphs dbs), pre-joins foreign keys (document dbs) , pre-joins everything (queries) (wide column dbs). Saying "all" is a bit of a hyperbole but it gets to the point of the matter.

That should would be a frightening and radical departure from today.
borrowings have always happened.

and as regards early english, did you ever see phillip larkin describe it as "ape's bumfodder"? luckily we replaced it with many, many borrowings, so much so that looking at AS english is prainful on the brain - and uneccessary.
Social networks are bad for the reasons you outlined, but where you are wrong is that we'll actualize this understanding of fakeness into abandoning social networks.

We've had fake faces forever. Make-up is a face face you draw on top of your face. What this filter does it 99% just what you can do with make-up.

We have lip-fillers, we have breast implants, we have fake teeth and eyebrows.

And we embrace this, we consider it essential, expected. We've given up on thinking, and given in to feeling, enjoying. Hedonism doesn't require substance, just surface.
These are typically called smoke tests, and can be valuable for regression testing of third party libraries you depend on.

An alternate approach: generate the PDF, then run it through a PDF reader library to scrape the text out and ensure it is there.
You are correct.

The 580 acres we rent was enough for my grandfather to support a family of 10. Today, I could support my family of 3 with that many acres if I ran a show farm near an urban center. But as a working farm it is unfeasible to support a family.

It's sad. 500 acres used to be a decent sized operation. Now, 10k is a starting out size.
Yup. There have even been satellites that have used only passive stabilization--- a permanent magnet + dark/light surfaces that spin it up from photon pressure.

Before anyone gets too worried, the Anglish community in my (limited) experience has been incredibly anti-racism/Nazi/etc.

They are just a bunch of linguistics nerds who are having fun imagining what English would have been without a Norman invasion.

In the same spirit, I'd recommend checking out the Uncleftish Beholding. Although I think it predates the modern Anglish community, it's an attempt to describe Quantum Mechanics with Latin/French derived words.

I’m just curious, why does everyone use DaVinci for these sorta applications? Even the 2nd best model (Curie) is 10x cheaper and I’m sure would perform nearly as well.
Right, just because it has value doesn't mean it has enough value. My objection to the parent (not the article) was that it wound up dismissing certain kinds of value.
I had a hard time writing tests because nobody else around me did it. Nobody taught me how to implement good tests or implement testable code. I had to figure it out by myself through trial and error, and through reading articles and watching videos.

Ultimately, I found writing tests were immensely helpful for the work I was doing. I was writing the API backend for desktop/mobile apps to call. When one of the guys working on the client apps would claim my stuff wasn't working right, I demanded an example HTTP request that I could use to reproduce the problem.

Most of the time they never got back to me. Often the problem was with their (untested) code and they wanted to throw the problem over the wall for someone else to investigate. I had the confidence that my code was behaving well because of the tests. So when someone else came over and said "Your stuff is broken" I had the confidence to say "Prove it".

With that said, I recognize that there are cases that are lower stakes that may not require such thorough testing. Right now I have some APIs I maintain that I don't write tests for. These APIs are of the type where if there's a bug then the user of the API says "Hey, it's broken" and I say "Ok, I'll fix it in a couple days" and he says "Sure, let me know when it's done". This is quite different than the API that gets called hundreds of times a second and customers are screaming "I want my data now!"

You are, of course, correct. It can be difficult to tell when somebody is stupid, or an asshole, or merely pretending to be a stupid asshole.

It's all the same to the person on the receiving end. It's not worth engaging with people who don't listen. Whether they are deliberately trying to aggravate, or are merely too stupid to know that their arguments are tedious.

I don't know why you were downvoted because it's a perfectly reasonable question. The answer is not really, or rather the last time I tried it wasn't easy to get X windows running properly so you were stuck with just terminal based programs but that was a couple of years ago.

Its worked for us when dealing with local operations vs. cloud bucket operations. Protocols also help when you really don’t care to litter your code with some vendor specific object but instead just declare what functionality should be expected from the object passed in. It helps describe what you’re doing with it anyway, it’s why typing with Iterable can be helpful if you don’t care if it’s a list, set, or tuple.

I completely disagree.

I have had a lot of fun with Anglish in the past, composing poetry and even attempting to write school assignments in it.

However as I've grown as a linguist, I now disagree with the direction that they've taken it, but I understand why.

That is, the Anglish project uses cognates and sometimes inventions from Old English, Dutch and German because most linguists (and people) consider English a West Germanic language, most closely related to German and Dutch, and more distantly related to Swedish, Norwegian and Danish.

But I'm convinced that Faarlund is correct [1]; that Old English is not the only ancestor of Modern English, and that actually Modern English is more like a creole of Old English and Old Norse.

So I'd like to see an Anglish project that instead uses the Scandinavian languages for word replacements.

My primary email is on my domain that's firstlast.com, so I purchased a random one and use that. Used with Fastmail I typically register as company@company.domain.com and it all forwards automatically.

1Pass+Fastmail will automatically generate forwarding random emails, as will Apple now. I prefer it coming to my own domain though to retain control.

Other details I frequently just make up (name, age, address), unless they're necessary for the service. eg. shipping needs my real address.

I wish there was a phone forwarding service that could randomize the number, similar to the Hide My Email that Apple does. I have a Google Voice, but that's a single number that can't be easily changed.

For things like supermarket rewards that just need a 10 digit number, I've thought about changing them all to 111-111-1111 or something similar. All I want is the real price of goods, but that needs an account of some sort.
It sounds like you have some stories built up - if you're looking to share, I've observed HN to be a very tolerant place for people looking to reminisce about their glory days of dubious home chem sets, pharmacological experimentation, electrical fishery, and other mischief survived by dumb luck and happenstance!

Some of our local farms do corn mazes around Thanksgiving. You can see from above (done) that the mazes make Disney figures or cool patterns. A friend of mine showed me how they do it, it's basically a program that goes on the GPS in their tractor and controls how they plant corn over a few acres, completely automated.

I’m admittedly no astrophysicist, but I’m pretty sure you mean 278 metric tons.

1 metric ton is 1000 metric kilos. We metricists like things simple :)
Past SARS-CoV-2 infection protection against re-infection–review&meta-analysis
Interviewed a couple of years ago at a vertical farming startup. All the usual talk about making the world a better place through technology (and machine learning for some reason). I asked where the electricity came from, turns out they were literally burning coal to grow some salad not very efficiently.

Hydroponic farms have been studied for decades, they are super optimized but they have their limits as well - see the 10 GBP bell peppers in supermarkets today. I would really like to know how the numbers look like when comparing traditional hydroponic with these hyper-local vertical farms.
Thanks for responding. Yeah, I don't use the 1st gen. The drowsiness is a deal breaker, since I'm already on the edge of drowsiness most days. I only use loratadine, and it doesn't do a lot. But I probably don't need to be using it every day anyway, since it doesn't do a lot.
This is turtles all the way down. All Germanic languages are highly related to the other Indo-European languages. The Latin alphabet we use to write can be traced back to Egyptian Hieroglyphs. People just like to pick arbitrary points in an evolutionary timeline and use those points to create in-groups and out-groups.
Drought-Resistant Wheat Plants with Longer Roots
I have used ImageCapture (standard on a mac), PhotoSync (not free, but it's cross-platform), and the SanDisk iXpand drive. (with its app, plugs into the phone, backs up photos. Unplug it and the other end of it is USB to share with a computer). AirDrop works with macs. (Always have a friend with a mac and v/v)

Apparently, iXpand is very slow if your photos are in iCloud, because it has to download them in order to back them up. Use it with on-phone photos. I recall that it backs up the photos incrementally.

There may be other apps that web-serve the photos. If so, you can use wget or curl to bulk copy them.

As soon as sheer volume of pattern matching results in answers indistinguishable from huge levels of awareness/reasoning, what is still the point in saying the algorithm is not "aware" or reasoning ?
And believe me, the areas in which this appears the case increase day by day.
Also, what makes you sure that awareness and reasoning is more than mere pattern matching?
We humans find ourselves so special that it is simply hard to imagine that we would consist purely of a huge set of chemical and physical reactions.
I completely agree! I must say though, this is not fully dependent on us! SOC2 is a very lengthy process that also depends on auditors. This is one of our main priorities at the moment.
> No, it fundamentally doesn’t… because, no matter where they go in the world, irregardless of all of their own (real, or imagined) hardship, when they arrive they _will_ be treated better than a non-white person that is otherwise of the same socio-economic standing arriving from the same origin point… and that’s just an observable fact,

You utter clown. My wife and I lived in the US for three years. My wife - who is black, was always treated with kindness and respect by everyone we met - people of all persuasions. We made many good friends, who we are still in contact with to this day.

> It’s OK to be racist. We’re ALL racist…

I'm not. I adore my wife, and my two mixed-race children, my wife's whole side of the family, and all her friends.

From what I can see, all of this is just projection on your part.

They would be offended by your condecending and divisive ideas.
Those LinkedIn posts indeed show a more negative side of the issue. Still, I have high hopes for the future of Qt, and if they ever go full-on commercial, there is an agreement with KDE regarding that situation (but I'm too lazy to find it right now).
True, but only a quarter to a third of modern English vocabulary can be legitimately described as having purely English or Germanic origins. It might as well not be "English" at this point.
I have no idea. The house has literally sat completely empty for well over a year. The tree cutting was the first activity I have ever seen there. I don't know if they plan on tearing the house down and rebuilding or what. I also have no idea if there's someone who actually plans to live there or if it's owned by an investor.

It's possible I overestimated, but it has to be at least over two dozen trees. And these are not small trees. There's of course smaller ones but others are easily over 40-50 feet.
Your local video store rented PC games? Where I grew up, console games for sure were available in video rental places but there was never a business in renting PC games. I wish there had been!
This has the same feel as avoiding "immigrant German". My family is ESL, and communicating in our original language/dialect has devolved into a free mix of German and English words. It takes a conscious effort to keep it all German when talking with relatives from the old country! But I agree with others, trying to keep English "pure" is a lost cause; it's a glorious hodgepodge of influences from all over, and I love it (as an ESL person).
How so?
It could include new recommendws things.
We have a ton of easier to pick fruit between here and indoor hydroponic farming.

Indoor hydroponic farms also tend to focus on non-staple foods. If this was about surviving we'd be studying legumes and grains not cruciferous vegetables. It's just easier to overcharge for a cabbage than a bean.

How can we get enough minerals for EVs without trashing the planet?
Of course, at different times it happened to more or less a degree, and from different languages. It's all arbitrary, but this project chose an arbitrary precision of "pure" Germanic English. It's their choice and doesn't feel ideologically motivated, more so in the spirit of conlang (constructed languages).
Ask HN: What should we keep in mind while implementing telemetry in our SDK?
We're working on improvements to our SDK, expanding it from "just an API wrapper" to a more involved part of an application. As the complexity increases, so does the risk of code not working as we'd hoped.

Naturally, we'd like to add telemetry to know what's working, what's not, how often features are used, etc.

To be minimally intrusive, we plan to make it easy to opt out (w/ an obvious callout in the SDK install docs), document exactly what data we collect, and ensure it is 100% anonymous. This aligns with Russ Cox's recent post, "Transparent Telemetry for Open Source Projects" [1].

What else should we keep in mind?

Yeah, what I mean is the existence, the visibility of a slight purple hue. If the camera has no IR filter, you don't just see a slight purple hue on the LED itself, but you see the light just like you'd see a visible wavelength LED.

I actually was obsessed with IR cameras and mods for some reason around 10-12 years ago. I remember using developed empty photo films to block visible light and let only IR through after removing the IR filter.
The NFT case isn’t clear cut to me. Yes, people bought NFTs expecting a return on investment. But people buy baseball cards for the same reason. I just went on whatnot and saw numerous channels selling cards using rocket ship emojis. Where do you draw the line?
