> As someone who’s house is intentionally and entirely designed around the premise ...

Do you live in New York State? Otherwise it would seem like complaining about California earthquake construction requirements when you live on a houseboat in Georgia.

Also, these bills only concern new construction, not older houses, so wouldn't affect you.

> and wish to have a means for cooking food indoors without electricity

From earlier this year, at https://www.politico.com/news/2023/01/13/hochul-backs-ban-ga... , "The [replacement] proposal does not include gas stoves, according to the governor’s office."

> Pay the electric company the multiple millions of dollars it would take to modernize their infrastructure to make an electric stove a viable option?

The linked-to page says "requirements for reliable service [are] already enshrined in state law" and "A potentially major caveat on grid reliability pushed by Assembly Democrats and a major gas utility also hasn’t been finalized, leading environmental advocates to moderate their enthusiasm until they see the final wording."

That reads like NY will require the electric companies to modernize their grid, not you.

> Bans are rarely—if ever—good solutions, and should only ever be used as a measure of last resort.

Umm, housing and fire codes ban a lot of construction practices. Do you consider them a measure of last resort? Or scoring political points?

As an example, when Hurricane Andrew came through South Florida in 1992 there was a widespread realization that the building codes weren't good enough. ("South Florida building codes were completely revamped based on studies about compromised garage doors, roof structures, basically how to hold houses together, according to Gracia Szczech, FEMA Region IV director. Homes built today in the state of Florida are far stronger than pre-Andrew." - https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/lessons-learned-30-years-... )

Governor Chiles got "political points" for pushing improvements in those codes, which, yes, outright banned certain building practices.

You make it seem like that was a bad thing.

And in any case, we've known that gas furnaces result in CO poisoning deaths every year. If safer alternatives exist - which seems to be the case in NY - how many deaths do you need until you say a ban is indeed the proper last resort?
You'd hope that business owners would care about running ethical businesses and meeting their clients' needs instead of holding them in outright contempt and disdain.
As mentioned by Hilary Clinton in a recent interview on the rest of politics, it's very telling that when silicon valley entrepreneurs advertise for nannies, they often have strict requirements for minimising screen time.

Seems like there's pretty strong revealed preference here (watch what people do not what they say). The people building this tech know it's harmful to kids.

As a parent the argument I hear most often is that all the other kids have it so it's almost impossible to stop your own kids. I don't necessarily buy that, my kids are still young but I intend to keep them away from social media as long as possible.
There are alternatives to shaking hands; no greeting, bowing, classes hands, high five, fist bump etc.

If supply and demand is just a convention, they what are the alternatives?

I guess I’m ignorant, but central planning is the only one I can think of.
Price increase is governed by how much a buyer is willing to pay and how long a seller is willing to hold. That is supply and demand. Their reason to supply or demand is 100% due to speculation or gambling or whatever you want to call it. There is no intrinsic value for anything. Supply and demand is not a magic spell that saves people from guessing what prices should be.
Hi. I'm the port author. I'm not really active here on HN, but thanks for all the clicks.
Yea, there are hundreds of thousands of tiny tiny towns all across the US with terrible internet service. You could run a perfectly good ISP for a village of a few hundred people off of one Starlink dish.

Well, I wouldn't necessarily agree with the numbers. But I certainly would rather see a washer being changed in a YT video than explained in Substack, I grant you that.
I used to be very much on the side of gas stoves are always better than electric. Then I had a decent inductor stove and it changed my mind for good.

Much of my opinion on electric stoves was based on “folklore” passed down from my parents and on using ancient resistive stoves.

Alaskan Seaweed and Green Chemistry with Macro Oceans
California-based seaweed biotech startup, Macro Oceans, has been making headlines thanks to the successful completion of the first phase of its pilot facility.

To gain further insight into Macro Oceans' technology and future plans, we had the privilege of sitting down with the company's CEO and founder, Matthew Perkins.

And in this interview, Matthew shares his thoughts on the start-up's progress, long-term goals, and the Alaskan seaweed industry.
That might be true in theory, but not relevant in practice unless you're on a really old or really esoteric CPU (one could extend that to: the C standard is important in theory, but usually not relevant in practice - the only thing that matters in the real world is how specific C compilers behave).

In the real world, for this type of code (audio code, most likely for games), only a very small number of CPUs (Intel and ARM) and C compilers (Clang, GCC and MSVC) matter, and on those, int is 32 bits wide.

PS: For new code I would also suggest using the "new" C99 fixed-width integer types though.
That's not a problem, device makers and carriers would gladly sell you all that and even install it if it isn't already. And that software isn't needed if they're a good parent that can actually tell their kid stuff and their kid trusts them enough to do that.
For me too. I setup a couple of wireless 433Mhz temperature/humidity sensors in my flat (one on the balcony, one on the sauna).

Turns out the balcony sensor was just that little bit too far away to be regularly detected. However I noticed that I could get temperature readings from the car-tyres parked in the carpark to the side of my flat.

So I switched to using those instead for my "outdoor" temperature. Works a little better than my balcony would have done, as that is glazed and warmer than the actual outdoor temperature.

"Simply" when used in the sense of "without addition, alone" is perfectly fine. I find the issue people have is not really with the word simply but with bad documentation and badly designed tools. That’s not going to be fixed by avoiding one word.
The regulations on security deposit in Massachusetts has led me to not use security deposits. I also don’t use a lease. A tenant can come and go from month to month. I only require first and last months rent.
Very very nice!

2c of feedback - I'd love to have an unlimited undo to be able to backtrack and try different paths woth the same seed; sometimes the game doesn't end even if there are no moves left; and related to that it won't hurt to have a "hint" option to show a possible move.

Ps. Also the 2048 game was a blatant rip of "Threes", which would've been fine had the 2k guy not decided to monetize it.
This is such baloney - there's so many way more relevant factors to the taste of food then which power source was used to provide heat. I bet if you did a blind tasting you'd not be able to tell the difference.
Isn’t that argument somewhat strange or dishonest? To paraphrase you: I‘d rather have naked shorting and the associated manipulation and problems with it than better price discovery for stockholders.
In your example, the stockholder isn’t protected either, only an equity firm derives profit from this information. In a more ideal world the stockholders themselves would do this due diligence, which is something that already happens.
Also there’s differences between shorting and naked shorting. I could well imagine allowing fully hedged shorting and outlawing naked shorting. Especially considering the issue of fail to deliver, that’s just absurd with our technology.
Rockets landing was never considered impossible, NASA even built and tested several such vehicles long ago. What was determined is that is is not economically viable which even SpaceX has started to realize on some launches where they ditch the landing in order to be able to carry more payload.

The launch pad at Cape Canaveral may not be exactly what Starship needs but it would be a good start. Like flame trenches and placing the fuel storage tanks far enough away from the launch pad.
I'm working on comparisons between redis and SQLite for object caching. So far things look favorable.

I did this project for WordPress, because object caching helps performance (and therefore carbon footprint) a lot and cheezy hosting services don't offer redis. But most of them have SQLite.

Oddly enough, SQLite is really slow on the one BSD hosting service I've tried.
It can be enforced when other parents,teachers,etc... find out.

I will give you all an example, cyberbullying is illegal right? Yet it happens a lot but making it illegal and when caught, punishing offending kids has reduced the volume (where such laws exist). No ominous backdoor involved.
> I can never remember if `char` is signed or not.

Technically it's neither (e.g 'char', 'signed char' and 'unsigned char' are three different types), but in practice this also usually doesn't matter (but it's more likely to be bitten by this specific detail than int not being 32 bits).
Yes, but this has much less of an impact than you might think. The transposition table is used to cache the evaluation and best move of previously looked at positions, which can speed up the search, by guiding it in the right direction. But probably the worst thing that can happen if it gets data from the wrong position is that it wastes some time looking at a bad move(also quite likely is that the move is illegal and it's just skipped), and then has to re-search the position because the result made no sense. Even if in theory it could lead to a misevaluation, ultimately Stockfish' move is decided by a vote between different search threads, so there would have to be a conspiracy between multiple threads as well. It's pretty unlikely they'll all see the same collision because they're set up to emergently end up in different parts of the search space. And the transposition table is constantly being updated.
What do you think morals are?

You should try the model not in isolation, but hooked up to search so it stuffs the context with current and verifiable data. Check out phind.com.
You referenced due diligence as naked shorting but they are different.

You listed a bunch of financial buzz words and didn't disprove OP.

Please show how naked shorting incentivized good due diligence.

You could have just pointed to the massive new supply that was announced, it's the logical reason why the price dropped.

Geopolitics are the primary mover of markets currently.

> how any UI toolkit

O'Reilly's X Window volumes are not about a toolkit, they document everything that could be relevant to someone about X Windows at the time, including the X protocol itself, the low level X library, a user's guide, the linked administrator's guide and two widget toolkits - Motif and XView - with both references and guides to them.

> once things like VB6 got off the ground.

VB6 also had a ton of documentation, to the point where it wasn't feasible to print it all. VB5 had a 1064 page reference book and a 898 page guide book, among others. Hell, even VB1 for DOS had a 510 page reference book and a 658 page guide book. And these things only discussed a fraction of what the X Windows books did.
A flame trench would probably be a lot more inconvenient to them. Right now they can freely move around most of the launch pad. This is probably important for their rapid iteration, which is what is going to get them to orbit as quickly as they can. If a big chunk of the launch pad is consumed by a trench, that area becomes inaccessible by their platforms, cranes, etc.

Four volumes cover Motif and XView, with a guide and reference volume for each. The Xt Intrinsics volume also uses Athena as the widget toolkit.
In English, the math jargon term “simplifies to” means roughly “is equivalent to this less complex form”. It does not connote difficulty.
Interesting to compare this thread with the banning gas one in New York. In general once you accept the government making decisions for you “for your best interest”, don’t be shocked once they start doing things you disagree with.

This is why I generally do not support any bans dictated by the government.

In this case it’s difficult to find a reasonable solution that’s not draconian. You could tell parents to use screen limiting tools but those are unlikely to be used by the parents whose children need it the most.

Perhaps making social media require a $1/year fee with it being returned to you after 6 months would stop the vast majority of children.
That's just naming. As I said, the names are all over the place.

Assistant Professor in the US is a temp teaching-and-research.

Reader in the UK is a junior teaching-and-research. The US equivalent would be Associate Professor.

Either can run their own courses, that's completely irrelevant. What distinguishes a temp and a junior is that the latter is a permanent position.

I am presenting an abstract model, of course each little system has its own little details, which in the bigger picture, don't mean much.

You'll see for example than in the traditional UK system, you effectively promote from mostly-teaching to less teaching based on your research accomplishments. That's consistent with the model I presented.
This is the list of possible supported devices right now (USB only):

If your device is on this list, it's NOT supported right now! But I do want to add hpaio soon, I also have access to an OfficeJet to test.
After a few years trying to maintain a 80's like lawn without pest and weed control (2nd hand home, previous owner), I learned the way of your dad : I just remove things I don't like, favor what I like.

My garden is not the 80's picture perfect lawn anymore. It looks like a pretty prairie now, with poppies and all sort of other local wild flowers. It burns in August, it is self regenerated by October. No need for watering. Bees are coming, my kids discover all sort of insects we didn't see when we moved in.
You don't understand what naked shorting is. Naked shorting is shorting without first borrowing from someone. Normal shorting is limited by the availability of stock to borrow (by the way, if stock holders wish, they can request from their broker that their stock won't be available for borrowing, potentially causing short squeeze), by the interest rates on borrowing the stock.

Naked shorting skips it all. Some market makers are privileged and can sell stock they don't own and didn't borrow. So they have a privilege of printing stocks in the short term, and that's quite broken, and many of them abused this position to manipulate markets. Normal participants in the market can't naked short.

Naked shorting means that the market maker who supposedly sold you a stock, can now fail to find the stock he sold you, leading to "fail to deliver".

The excuse given is that naked shorting allows for more liquidity, but given the other problems, I think it's bad.
Even with that it would be trivial to uniquely identify specific individuals. If anything that would be worse than the current situation as you would know certain attributes are definitely not spoofed.
It seems learning Fortran is much simpler than learning nuclear physics

Does Fortran need to? Does Fortran still have any real advantage over Julia, MATLAB, etc.?

Please forgive my ignorance. I've never written any Fortran. I understand how and where it's used in modern computing though. I also understand why it's faster than C in some cases.
Because unrealistic representation of timelines can sound like a non-technical manager eager to claim credit for arduous research and mechanical work they don't seem to understand enough to give accurate forecasts for, just as much it might sound like an excited geek who can't wait for a cool thing.

Maybe it sounds like aggressive and optimistic goals. Maybe it sounds like someone who doesn't understand that nine women can't give birth to a child in one month, and cracks the whip like they could if they tried hard enough.
On what CPU and compiler did this happen if I may ask? (I guess it was either in the area of vintage computing, or embedded stuff?)

Frame pointers are old-school technology for most of the platforms, even in embedded usage. The libunwind library should be used instead, with the -funwind-tables or -fasynchronous-unwind-tables compiler options and additionally -rdynamic, -fno-dwarf2-cfi-asm, -fvar-tracking-assignments.
Should it be up to parents if children drink or smoke? I don't think so.

You can use comparatives, like "simpler", usually without issues. Something can be simpler than something else without necessarily being simple. Superlatives like "simplest" can sometimes be used as well. After all, being the simplest thing means to be simpler than all the other things; still not necessarily simple.

It's only the positive form "simple" which is problematic and should be almost always avoided.
I'll describe one tool that I built that sparks joy every time I use it:

For a long time I wanted to listen to lots of different stuff, podcasts, sermons, YouTube videos, online courses. But I'd always forget about them and never got around to listening to most of them.

So last year I started tracking this in a Google Sheet. Initially just a link of URLs, then I added date added/date completed, length, etc. Recently I even added some custom menu items in Sheets so I can add items and mark them done faster.

I've greatly increased the amount of audio content I consume, even when I get in the car it's easy to select something to play next. But one conclusion: I add on average 4 items per week and I listen to only 3, so my queue grows unbounded.

> I think the term for that is squatter?!

Squatting falls under the principle that when a building is unused (a broad term) for a long period of time (e.g. a year), it may be squatted because there is a housing shortage and the country is owned by the civilians. And eviction is generally not straightforward because having a roof above your head is a basic right. I would say its the USA which is backwards here. I mean, WTF. If you decide your tennant has to go, they just have to deal with your decision, make their next weeks of their life revolve around your decision, no matter what? What if they are ill? Need help from others? Cannot relocate easily? Need to find a different job as a result? A one month notice is very, very short.

Btw, squatting isn't even legal anymore in The Netherlands.

The cost of not making at attempt is regret which can be expensive. The objections to “follow your dream” that people have mentioned are real. The basic “follow your dreams” advice should be tempered with realism and a sense of when to shift gears and call it. Don’t destroy yourself over something. But also, making an earnest attempt to accomplish goals is important. Setting and achieving goals is a key part of living a happy and fulfilling life and it is important to at least try.

From the sound of it, your friend has put in an honest effort and it is just not working out. I have nothing but respect for the effort, but tapping out is probably the best choice. That’s a hard lesson but one that you need to learn at some point in life.
In Europe its with the idea that even if a tenant is put on the street it will cost money. Plus it will usually create bigger problems than what ever months of rent are missed.

It’s similar to the fact that giving homeless people a place to live for free is cheaper than continually kicking them on the streets
