But where do your dependencies come from? Your compiler? Are you building everything from source after libc?
Assuming it's for overnight charging, I would guess a large apartment complex that offers an EV charging hub might like to install some sort of load balancing/switching mechanism to limit how much total draw. It doesn't take the full evening to charge a car, so it would sequence where to deliver the power.

Most people don't drive that much in a day. For a typical EV user nightly charging isn't even really necessary, they're probably only needing to charge once every 3 days or so so it won't take that much to top-up if they're doing it nightly. If it's a small enough building tenants might be okay with doing a sort of sign-in system to use a smaller bank of chargers when needed. Sort of like reserving a treadmill at the gym.
I gave up trying to read the page for these reasons.
This is a great project. I would like to point out that it is possible to have an extremely good espresso machine with zero electronics if you don't mind some occasional exercise. It's called the Espresso Forge and it puts out excellent espresso. It will also never break because there just isn't much to it besides an o-ring that may need to be replaced every few thousand espressos. The rest of it is stainless steel.
>Other scholars[who?] claim that the name is derived from the Tupi word amassona, meaning "boat destroyer".

Fedora has always been quite bad at branding and making their distro appealing.

It's probably one of the most solid Linux distros at the moment and their website makes it seem.. boring.. No screenshots, features, mentions of whats available (like apps), that Fedora uses newer graphics/drivers kernels, that you can run Steam, that apps are sandboxed etc.

Stark contrast to something like https://vanillaos.org/

Or rather because they're proprietary, often closed-source, like Snap server.
I think there is also a different issue - in a time where some people seem to be keenly aware of how much time they spend looking at screens and are making efforts to reduce that, the Metaverse (and any VR, really) wants to dial that up even more, instead consuming your full attention when using it
I think many people are struggling with the same issues independently, all across society. This is equally true right now as it is in other times.

Perhaps there are many who have identified the problem without settling on a satisfying solution. In these cases the context is already (painfully) familiar and the main insight will be the path forward out of their malaise.

What you say is true for those who have never even grappled with the question, but I assume HN harbors folks who like to analyze inefficiencies in their lives, so I'd expect most of those here who already have reading lists to have contended with this problem and at least attempted to search for solutions in the past.
I think the "good old elitism" is exactly what the alignment folks are expressing. They think only they and large corporations should have these tools, while we, the common folk, should not.

Perhaps. Extrapolating the idea that .tar.gz application packages should be standalone, a better system than an external updater might be that the aforementioned build tooling includes an "update" script inside the .tar.gz. Then the user can run them at their own convenience. This is similar to how Firefox's updater works, except Firefox itself does double duty as the update script.
> I mean, you can, if you also install its dependencies.

You will very likely bump into conflicts. Or you you need to upgrade a lot of fundational libraries (like libc), at which point why stay on Debian 10?

Backports exist for a reason.
There are rolling release and hybrid (stable base + rolling apps) Linux distros as well.
Is the final article proofread by human?
If my anecdote of seeing tons of students living large on their loans means nothing, yours means nothing too. Except logic, human nature, and statistics back my claims up too.
There possible many reasons for that. One of them (specially cars), cost is a real factor here. Normally some company develop a car framework and the other vendors, buy it and just tweak it for its own market.

Other point that worth to mention is that today, people are consuming same media, culture and having the same idols, regardless of their physical location.
Something that helped me was to develop my "discernment" of "quality" so I could quickly reject material that appeared interesting but actually was of little use to me. This is going to be different for each person, but I think it's worth putting some thought into because I had previously assumed I had developed a natural talent for it when actually I was consuming content out of habit.
> Yes, just as ridiculous as anyone who would have been against the 80s push to take fat out of dairy and pour in the lab sugar!

> Why not stuff our stomachs with even more lab stuff? Why not, in any case reducing actual meat consumptions is an atrocious regulatory suggestion, the robofairrmingoverlords can do whatever with the urban sheep in america.

Your argument is nothing more than the Naturalistic Fallacy. In a single broad stroke, you've implied that everything lab-made or somehow engineered is bad because it is unnatural. We are able to feed large population due in large part to fertilizers we have developed and GMO (i.e. selective breeding, but faster) crops and we have developed vaccines that have all but eradicated Smallpox and Polio off the face the earth. Yet you cite as evidence the obvious issues with the fat/sugar balance of foods in the 80s, which has been largely attributed to the sugar cane lobby, as "human-made = bad" going as far to claim a wild conspiracy.

This is not skepticism - this is FUD.
Sorry about the "careless" bit. Maybe I could have chosen a better word.

I get what you're saying. But again, linting should be enough to guide you in writing good CSS. It's really not that hard if we are interested. No need for a whole new way to do it. What I generally get from discussing about it here or elsewhere is that lots of devs just don't like CSS. Which is a shame since it's central to our work as Web devs. What do you, yourself, think about this?
Don’t take this as a recommendation, but after using Ubuntu for 15 years I ended up switching to NixOS. Obviously it’s a different beast, but with all I’ve learned over the years it’s now a decent fit. The reduction in mutable state has been a breath of fresh air.
Any of them that isn't some opinionated special feature distro besides Ubuntu.

Just pick one. Arch, Debian, CentOS, Fedora, any niche little distro, and if you're opinionated about something theres devuan, alpine, void, NixOS.

About the only ones I don't recommend anymore are Ubuntu and Manjaro.

It's not quite that simple. If you've ever lived in a tall building and heard/seen/smelled stories of sewer pipes backing up, well you'll know what I mean. The bottom floor of a 50 storey building needs much more sewage space than the bottom floor of a 5 storey building. Anyway, there are considerations about venting, as well as increased capacity for lower floors versus higher floors, and the whole thing has to be designed in conjunction with the rest of the plumbing anyway.
Yes, you got it. Unlike HackerNews, the links on Emergent Mind's homepage take you to a post on Emergent Mind, which has a summary and key terms. The idea is that gives you a quick summary and context on what the page is about, then you can decide whether to click through and read the full article or not. Also, you'll notice a "Next" button on all posts, letting you quickly jump to the next news item without navigating back to the homepage (something I wish HackerNews had).
But do you then get Wine that is capable of running 32-bit Windows binaries? Or can Wine do it nowadays without?

I'm hoping the AI scare and layoffs stop people from flocking to software engineering. Less supply of us means more demand, higher wages, better working conditions. Especially with how things are going, the last thing we want is a new generation of swes to compete with the dwindling amount of jobs.

Not really though, at least not yet. I've seen some impressive results for trivial cases: the type of thing you'd see blogged on new web devs blog 10x over, but I've yet to see anything that wasn't trivial and worked come out of GPT.
A few of the examples is a bit unfair like houses look the same, but in reality they are same because the structure works and the building code are more easily adhered when they look like that, instead of say a parallelogram, and it’s more efficient to work with the current set of technologies + materials that are readily available.

I do agree we are not taking enough risks in art but instead trying to please everyone’s tastes

The simple answer is that the company culture really, really wants to be "the Apple of Linux", with all that it entails. Whereas RedHat wants to be the Linux of Linux, they've learnt how the opensource game really works and they play it every day.

Those benefiting from traditional banking, ie the 1% of the world in the US and EU, are largely completely naive to the tragic despair of the other 99%, either completely unbanked, oppressed via predatory inflation policy and capital controls or just simply rigged against them.

Crypto was created from the ruins of bailouts where the poor masses where put on the hook for the crisis created by central banks ad wall st. That hasnt changed. Innovation and critical mass usage will arise from the bottom up, Nigeria, Venezuela, Argentina, El Salvador. Nations like the US and EU will be the last to embrace it, at their peril, when they have no real other choice to not be left behind.
The Japanese just eat less calories. There isn't anything particularly fancy about it, it's just less overall, be it rice, donuts, or fluffy Hokkaido milk bread.

> The answer is not a simple yes or no. While there are many factors that influence individual diets, the overall Japanese diet is generally lower in calories than that seen in some Western countries. On average, Japanese adults consume 2,150-2,900 calories per day, while the average American adult consumes 2,742-3,657 calories every day.[1]

Assuming the middles of those ranges that's like 500-1000 calories less than your average American. This does not mean they're more "fit" either, though things like pull-ups and 5K runs are easier when you're skinny vs. 50lbs overweight due to excess adipose tissue.

I think one of the biggest benefits, which I rarely see mentioned, is that all the class names are shared. When building your CSS for production, you can look at the classes you use and only add them to your CSS bundle. If you remove a class from somewhere in your HTML, the associated CSS gets dropped from your bundle. Your output CSS will shrink or grow with the classes that you use. Typically it's harder to remove dead CSS from traditional codebases.

Because the classes are shared to begin, there is less redundancy in the final CSS than using custom classes, perhaps with mixins to do standard flex or positioning patterns. So the resulting CSS file is typically relatively small and kept small by the dead code elimination. You can ship the entire CSS file to any page or on the initial page load for a SPA and not worry about code splitting your CSS, which can be troublesome in some builds.
> A team of people who write code effectively is easy to do.

Based on my experience, you’d be surprised how hard it is sometimes. I have a team of 10 engineers that failed to ship a basic CRUD UI after several months (and it wasn’t even close to done). Eventually it got taken over by one individual eng who finished it in two weeks.
It may finally take off if/when VR is just another feature of portable, broadly popular AR glasses.

Until then, it loses for anything but niche applications, because it's doomed by the popularity of the smartphone. Nobody wants a social network (or whatever) that can't be reached from their smartphone, or that sucks to use on there, which means nobody wants VR as the primary interface to anything, making it rather pointless.

The whole market is spinning its wheels until or unless someone finally manages to get normal people excited about AR glasses, which means some serious hardware advancements. Whatever's the "next big thing" has to be as portable and usable-everywhere as smartphones, or it's doomed. The Web boom among normal folks wasn't because they started sitting at desktop computers way, way more, but because computers got ultra-portable and cellular Internet got cheap enough to actually use. They're not going to clamber to join anything that they can't comfortably and non-dorkily use at a coffee shop or in line at the grocery store or while sitting on the couch watching Netflix or what have you.
> Canonical seems to be trying to push users off of Ubuntu.

I'm on Ubuntu for now because Snaps can be disabled but it does make me wonder since they also dumped Unity Desktop a few years back. It almost seems like they don't care about Linux Desktop users any more.
It's essentially the same outcome, Brussels politicians have no idea what they're doing in terms of smart contracts. Clearly it's an AML measure but they don't understand that what they call "unhosted wallets" (i.e. just random regular wallets) is as essential to decentralized applications as MAC addresses in legacy networks. Requiring KYC from every single wallet is insanity and will of course never work. So if that becomes law, it kills any dApps in the EU, only allowing centralized services to interact with known customers. Which defeats the entire point of blockchain tech. What would still be allowed would be some exchange like Coinbase offering services to KYC'd customers I guess. So at least they might be able to participate but they could do nothing on Web3 on their own. It would be a walled garden similar to the GFW of China vs the wider internet.

Again, I suspect this comes down to incompetency and isn't even intentional. They want to regulate the space but they don't understand what smart contracts are and how dApps work.
I mean fortnite has had already had film festivals, and "concert" experiences you can experience with your friends. I've been through some, and its kinda fun.

They seem to be wanting to build the tools, to build that. They know its a tough road, and being resourced starved (compared to facebook) they're trying to do it a more "open" way with the other game engines participating (He mentions Godot, Unity in his talk), artists etc. Its part of Tim Sweeney's thing to break down walled gardens. Epic being privately held, sort of doesn't have to deal with shareholders...

You the reader should only read the second last paragraph, which I copied here for your convenience:

To return to information overload: this means treating your "to read" pile like a river (a stream that flows past you, and from which you pluck a few choice items, here and there) instead of a bucket (which demands that you empty it). After all, you presumably don't feel overwhelmed by all the unread books in the British Library – and not because there aren't an overwhelming number of them, but because it never occurred to you that it might be your job to get through them all.

Interesting. In the summary, it's not clear what qualifies as "compulsory health insurance":

> Health care is financed through a mix of financing arrangements including government spending and compulsory health insurance (“Government/compulsory”)

Digging into the source report[0], we see the following footnote exclusive to the US:

> All spending by private health insurance companies reported under compulsory health insurance. Category “Other” refers to financing by NGOs, employers, non-resident schemes and unknown schemes.

The worst part of this trend, IMHO, is related to electronic devices, especially smartphones.

The iPhone design is great in many aspects, and it covers quite a few use cases, but not all of them, there should be space for alternatives, different form factors, different styles.

We often tend to blame individuality and selfishness, but at the collective level our herd behavior is quite a bit stronger than our individuality.

The implied heuristic behind herd behavior is that some individuals are taking the risk, and the group follows those who succeed. But when nobody is taking risk we're all losing.
The trick with a dry aged steak is that you don't eat the bits that were directly exposed to the air.

Flatpak development actually started much earlier than that. The first version happened in 2007 when it was known as "Glick".

Tailwind solves a communication problem, not a technical problem. It's extremely common on large teams to have people come and go. The more complex your CSS is, the more time it takes to train someone new. Think of it as a standard library for CSS.
To be clear, Emergent Mind isn't writing actual news articles. At least not yet :).

When a link is shared on the site either by Emma (a bot) or a human, Emergent Mind uses GPT to automatically write a short summary of the article's content and explain key terms used in the article. I don't proofread those summaries or key terms before they're posted, but do occasionally edit them if something is glaringly wrong - which thankfully isn't common.
Just deployed a fix and it seems to be working now. Thank you for your patience.
>It's obvious that at least in our very recent evolutionary history we had far higher tolerance to spoilage.

I would agree, both in terms of actual immunity and taste response, although generally-speaking eating rotten meat (especially when well-sourced) is not nearly as risky as common wisdom would make it out to be. Many folks in the deeper circles of online carnivoria dabble in "high meat" (fermented rotten meat, a method of preparing meat learned from Inuit peoples who would feed it to their dogs) and swear by it, even if the taste can be unbearable to the uninitiated.
you really think that is why they are targeted? cute. its about control.
> Even the very idea of separating content and style seems problematic to me

When I try to "separate" CSS, I always end up creating utility classes (so kind of like Tailwind).

Currently, I like to use a combination of utility classes (e.g. class="text-bold") and high-level class modifiers (like a ".pricing" wrapper, and then I can modify everything inside the pricing section like spacing, font sizes, colors).

.pricing h2 { color: var(--color-tertiary); }

I think this makes more sense than adding "color-tertiary" class to each h2, because if I want to change the color, I would have to modify it in all the h2 tags.

I would use "text-bold" if there is a one-time instance where I want the text to be emphasized. If there can be a rule extracted (e.g. make every first word bold), I would use CSS selectors/classes to modify all those instances.
It is to be expected. No intersecting tectonic plates with landmass = no mountains = no rivers.

The biggest rivers come from mountain ranges that sit on huge inter-continental plates. large Indian and Chinese rivers come from the Himalayas on the Indian plate. The south American rivers from the Andes and the South American plate; and the Congo from the tall-great-lakes that sit on the African plate.
It's true that it is always about politics, and lately, populism, all over the world (not that I feel too bad about some leftist populism being able to outvote fascists, as in my country of late, the weapons race of voting almost require a degree of over-appealing to win, since even middle classes are so brain-poor today).

Still, the population can have true feelings, if not the politicians, and they have to find the cold hearted suits who will defend their interest, for whatever distorted motives the suits might accrue, so it's a question of ends, not means, sadly. We're on a post-morality world who gives a shitty shit about some classical philosophu unless a youtuber can explain it in under three minutes. After all, maybe AI citizens will be more civic minded, ahem.
