It is way harder for a customs officier to distinguish if a package contains some trace of lead, gold, bore, cobalt, disprosium, neodyme… in some micro chip than classifying in “raw material, “alcool”, “processed food”, “weapon” etc.

Making thinks more expensive to prevent usage is pointless and that’s why countries put speed limits in place. Speed is dangerous (see ek=1/2mv2) and a “speed tax” would only reduce a road accidents to the proportional inverse of its users wallets. As the e-waste and elements rarefaction have impacts that last way longer than a road accidents, we need to absolute regulations to avoid those externalities. Relatives regulations (taxes) are good to balance some parts of the economy, not to prevent problems.

Of course I would stand for tax it can do a “good enough” job.

> We might be running out of easily mine-able deposits of something, but either the price will go up a bit or someone will invent a new technique.

What makes you suppose the price will go up only a bit ? What makes you expect a material price will stay bellow the economical threshold of its extraction ? I dream too of new clean techniques but the history showed us those inventions relies on way more energy and/or also have externalities on resources and environnement. I’m sure you’ll find plenty in battery material alternatives and oil replacement/new extraction techniques. Fracking [0] is my Favorite one.

> >Or, to avoid putting too much in kernel space, the tty subsystem could live in a user-space daemon

> On Unix, that's what "pseudo ttys" are for (i.e. /dev/pty*)!

No, that’s not what I was talking about. On just about every Unix, even with ptys, the line discipline code (or STREAMS modules for SysV-derived systems) still runs in kernel mode.

On Linux, you could implement something like what I was talking about with CUSE - have a character device which implemented the termios ioctls in a user-space daemon instead of in the kernel tty driver. That’s very different from how most Unix systems implement ptys

But what I was actually thinking about was a daemon which exposed over IPC an API a lot richer than termios. Something closer to curses.
I forgot an important point: excrutiatingly simple and idiotic sh scripts.
The Web might have changed the average person’s world but there were a whole lot of things that occurred first started with the Net itself. Gopher, Kermit, Usenet, … the pieces were there for a hacker with an itch to scratch and an idea to deliver. Opening up the internet and Usenet made the hacker world explode.
State and local laws matter a lot. I moved to a tenant-friendly state (NY) from a tenant-unfriendly state (Texas). NY has much stronger protections for renters. Better eviction laws, access to housing court, and actual enforcement of housing laws.
Show HN: Frogmouth – A Markdown browser for the terminal
Hi HN,

Frogmouth is a TUI to display Markdown files. It does a passable job of displaying Markdown, with code blocks and tables. No image support as yet.

It's very browser like, with navigation stack, history, and bookmarks. Works with both the mouse and keyboard.

There are shortcuts for viewing README.md files and other Markdown on GitHub and GitLab.

Let me know what you think...
"Obviously" will always remind me of math classes in university. Sometimes the professor would use it as a joke, sometimes they used it normally while still stumping everyone else.
These are fantastic, I have a pair of pentagon diagrams framed.
Yep, we all know the real issues are c++ itself and compilers by themselves.
And you are supposed to pull the ear when inserting.
It also embraced the co-op system earlier than the other universities, which lead to more real world experience in tech for the students, and I think that filtered up to the faculty too over time.
Funnily enough, we do agree on that end result, but definitely not on the methods. Housing should be a right, and housing should be provided to any citizen of a country. Letting a small minority of wealthy land owners become more wealthy and centralizing home ownership is a sign of failing societies.

A landlord does not "provide housing liquidity". Housing is not a good that I can live without. I'll die without a roof over my head. Profiting off of that is the behavior of a leech.
Bittersweet Symphony was a little different because it was a straight sample, they looped a recording of a Stones song. This Primary Wave company is buying up publishing rights and because of some IMO bad court decisions can claim to own the melodies themselves, not just the recordings. The problem with that is every melody ever sung sounds like some other melody, somewhere.
I mean people around here are blown away by apple products so i’d say knowledge about hardware is scarce.

It's sublimated class resentment. People resent things that are perceived as coming down upon them from a coastal rich Ivy League educated elite that is perceived as holding them in contempt.

It all just sounds like rich people in private jets flying around telling them to use less energy to save the planet.

There is of course too much inequality, but it's not because of EVs or phasing out gas stoves.
What other solutions were discussed? Are there any crazy ones?

My favourite idea is to somehow apply massive amounts of heat to the lunar surface basically melting the given area. Since there is no wind you won't get new dust there.
what aspect of performance are they missing?
Thank you, and I do participate plenty. Part of that participation is calling out eco-hypocrisy, which seems to be the only thing that mainstream climate activists are good at.

As to Germany, why did they rely on gas? Oh right, because they shut down their nuclear plants. So in the span of 3 years, Germany has gone from getting its base load from nuclear to gas to coal. If you really believe that atmospheric CO2 is an imminent threat to civilization, the tradeoffs are obvious and clearly biased in favor of ramping your nuclear industry significantly rather than hoping for a future breakthrough in battery technology that can allow you to run your base load off solar and wind.

Like solar panels before they reached scale, this will start off as an incredibly expensive proposition, but it will get cheaper with scale. France seems to get it - they are building 50 new plants - but nobody else does.

Instead of lobbying for impactful changes at this scale, we have plenty of activists going after ersatz plastic items, gas stoves, and gas-powered cars (all of which emit less CO2 than the top 20 biggest shipping vessels). It's not clear to me that these stupid little inconveniences actually take less political capital than anything else, but they certainly do wear down public tolerance for the program, which is fatal in the long run.
You are absolutely right that it is affecting the whole society, but no amount of research will ever discover the things you’re not allowed to notice, let alone solve. Is what makes the censorship and attacks on free speech stop pernicious, because as the attacks are only ramping up, so will the subject situation only get worse, because you cannot solve things you cannot even say out loud.
The upper stage, with 6 engines, is the part expected to land on the Moon and Mars and take off. Still, that's going to be challenging: Lunar regolith wants to clog and grind everything it gets into.
> The aversion to recession is destroying us.

The aversion to recession comes from people disliking the idea of losing their job, house, way of life, hell maybe even their family. This is like saying some people need to suffer and lose everything for the greater good.
In NYC landlords go to great lengths to hide their identity and real estate brokers aid and abet them. It’s not uncommon to pay rent to an LLC that has only an attorney attached to it publicly, and often these entities are property-specific.

In my renting years I asked brokers who owned the building on numerous occasions and was told basically that’s private information. I knew this was bollocks but there’s not a lot most people can do.
Know of someone that paid money to have his seatbelt systems become non-functional basically. Basically yes - they hate being told what to do and will rebel harder. So maybe for these folks we should have a campaign to use even more fossil fuels because there’s so many of them and they disproportionately cause social issues to begin with (the man is directly responsible for many, many ruined lives with his toxic personality, including his own children).
For home use, induction is far superior. More intense heat, less heating the room, no fumes, much easier to clean, etc etc etc
It may be quite difficult to change your social/wealth class, but the ability to change your location in the USA is among the highest in the world.

Something that I always keep in mind is the rather complete and thoughtful GitLab Documentation Style Guide [1].

I thought public figures were (far) more vulnerable to things like satire? Brady is certainly in that category…. Is this just the Streisand effect getting started, as others will view it as a challenge?
So someone who needs social norms.
A huge factor is accessibility of reserves. Often new discoveries are so remote and inaccessible that they are completely unrealistic to be producing within the next 10/20 years. I think both Iran and Argentina fall into this category.
By purely political reasons, do you mean to comply with US law? Those are the only cases I can find [1] [2] [3]. Or if there are other cases, I'd love to see a link to more info!

I don't like the US law much either, personally. I just don't consider a US corporation complying with US law to be a demonstration they will do arbitrary things for "any reason", it's sort of the default I expect from corporations and very predictable. If there's an example of a US corporation that chose to intentionally violate those sanction laws as an ethical stance, I'd love to find out more about that, and the outcome, too! I would imagine they would be penalized by the US government.

Microsoft was in fact recently so penalized [4], but I don't think it had anything to do with github, and I definitely don't think it was an ethical stance, just a mistake/profit-motivated one, or because these laws are a mess and hard to comply with. But I expect US corporations to try to comply with US laws, and don't consider doing so to be arbitrary or unpredictable "any reason".

If they had renters insurance that could have been a covered loss of use.
I think those words do convey useful information. If, for example, a student is told that a theorem has a simple proof, she will find it faster than if she does not possess that information, because the search space becomes smaller.
As someone who worked professionally as a line cook in my younger years the benefits of cooking over a flame are primarily in fine and quick control over temperature. Moving the pan, lifting the pan, adjusting the temperature, etc, are key to a good number of dishes. You lose that fine-grained control with the various electric stovetops.

I'm sure we can find cities/new developments where gas lines were not run, but have we examples where existing infrastructure was finally shut down?
The majority have the all in one. The separates is not uncommon by any means, but it isn't what the majority have.
I bet some of it also like, ok you’re banning gas stoves that I like cooking on but everybody owning a Ford F-850 and private jets are still cool (from an environmental perspective)? Seems like a spending a few bucks to save a few pennys kind of scenario.

The health argument is fair but seems like it shouldn’t be a mandatory requirement so much as a safety warning (based on my current understanding).

The fact that we are even talking about it I guess served the original goal which was to distract from other, larger problems and discussions.
Let's just change shipbuilding emissions codes to require future ships to be 0 emissions by 2027. By your logic, that requires no work.

Also, you may need to learn more about modern nuclear technology. Shipboard nuclear reactors these days are very safe, and there are plenty of available reactor technologies out there that are impossible to turn into bombs.
Culture elaborates expressive forms by developing ever more differentiated control over patterns in the expressive medium. In Rank 1 culture (preliterate) music evolves through control over rhythm. Rank 2 culture (literacy) gains control over melodic structure while Rank 3 culture (Renaissance and after) adds harmonic elaboration to rhythm and melody. Within the twentieth century jazz has followed a similar course, with rhythmic elaboration coming first with traditional jazz, then melodic control emerging with swing, and harmonic control with bop. Both classical and jazz have much music straining beyond the limits of Rank 3 harmonic control, but no clear Rank 4 forms have yet evolved.
Do Papercuts Matter?
Two big use cases:

1) Wok cooking, can’t use a round bottomed wok easily or create “wok hei”. Though you can also do it with a blowtorch: https://www.seriouseats.com/hei-now-youre-a-wok-star-a-fiery...

2) Causing childhood asthma. Gotta employ all those healthcare workers somehow…
Of course there's a difference. It's based on information asymmetry, i.e. the 'greater fool' theory. When the information asymmetry is deliberately created, that's being done in bad faith, and is the sort of thing we call fraud when done on an individual level. It often feels like a great deal of our corporate and financial machinery are designed around diffusing actions that would be criminal, or reprehensible if done person to person, in order to allow them to be done at scale without consequence.
Yet, no one in their sane mind uses module on hashing, it's always power of 2 table, so the operation is just: hash & (len -1) which is absolutely trivial. It has been this way for decades.
There's significant overlap between organised - or semi-organised - crime and property rentals. It's not unusual for some landlords to also make money from prostitution, drug dealing, and sometimes extortion.

This doesn't mean all landlords are criminals. But if you have a greed-driven sociopathic mindset all of the above are very attractive, and it's not hard to make them work together.
TorchBench: Benchmarking PyTorch with high API surface coverage
One point you have I absolutely agree with:

> Conda is at fault here

Conda is so so bad. But trying to explain why to people who have fallen into it’s trap is difficult. People don’t realize the packages are not signed on enough information to reproduce them. The optimizer to find matching versions to make an environment that satisfies your constraints is really bad idea.

As an experienced C++ developer unfortunately and fortunately I’ve concluded the most “correct” solution is to use nixpkgs.
> When the information asymmetry is deliberately created, that's being done in bad faith, and is the sort of thing we call fraud when done on an individual level.

What information asymmetry? The previous comments referred to speculators betting on price movements.

Deliberately creating fraudulent information asymmetry would be altering data in industry reports and publishing false manufacture/consumption data. Which, I assume, is illegal.

They all sound out of breath. Not sure what causes that effect/perception. Listening to it again, it seems like the plosives (like d, or t) have no pop like there was no air pressure behind them.
I am by no means an expert, but I was under the impression modern motherboards and CPUs had protections/limits specifically to prevent this from happening (or at least make it very difficult).

I'm not sure if it's "worthy" of an HN front page or not, but it was at least interesting to me that those protections seemed to either not exist or fail in this case.
The commenter may or may not feel it's correct, but I didn't see that in their comment.
For lithium, it was ~300% up in a year and back to original price in a few months.
Ok, forget about the bill. We should have a right to repair our democracy!
That's kind of a ridiculous argument.

Sure, international corporations violate human rights, but unless you provide proof these lithium corporations are, then we can just assume they aren't.
UserLAnd: Use Linux Anywhere
Most stoves have that microwave/vent thing above them, and that is NOT a fume hood, it's a poor approximation of an attempt at venting.

A true fume hood overhangs the front of the stove and can be heard when turned on, and requires makeup air.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSIqKGsF2ZA

(Note that a proper ventilation system is recommended for ANY stove/cooking besides maybe a microwave/pressure cooker, but especially needed for gas)
"even if it ends up breaking something for someone for a while."

It really depends how urgent those people need that something at that moment (and how much they paid for it).

Otherwise this is just making dev life easier on the cost of their users.

Before deleting code, why not check who would call that code and why? But yeah, that is also work. (And not always worth the effort)
Out of the box, Rails apps typically suffer from testability issues with fat models, problems caused by overuse of OOP patterns, and “ball of mud” lack of separation of domains. There are many ways to solve these problems with gems and specific disciplinary patterns, but Rails does not go out of its way to show them to you. Most people find their way out of the problems only after they are deep into them.
You don't have the large format artwork and liner notes, you have objectively inferior sound quality, you don't have random access, it's just an object that you stick in a player. So, no I don't, beyond a nostalgic I used to make mix/party tapes in this format.

Banning turns enforcement from a "is this gas stove properly vented, when inspected before either are installed" to a "is that a gas hookup for this building? wtf"
> Plus electric goes out often. Gas doesn’t.

That's because when gas lines fail, which they obviously do, they leak instead. And leaking natural gas into the air of densely populated areas is of course a bad idea.

And since those leaks are just small pressure drops and everything keeps "working" there's much less urgency or incentive to fix it. Unlike circuit breakers & other protective circuits that cut power which prompts immediate action to correct.

Reminds me of a story I heard a while back, about a factory town back in the day where the management would adjust the town clock to make it run slower during the work day, and faster overnight, in order to squeeze more labor out of the poor workers. Can't find anything about it on Google, but it's conceivable.

To ask for an expert quote on a thread on hackernews sounds like a little bit overkill for me, and for me (and probably parent), it does feel a little obvious.

Let me try to answer this though: one example out of many is how Kodak speculated that the transition to digital cameras would lead them to lose profit over the long run, so they chose not to pursue the route. This was a long term plan that lead them to bankruptcy. (of course, they changed course once they realized that digital cameras were competitive options, but the original long term goal was to continue the film camera route, shown by their unwillingness to even try to produce digital cameras as an possible option)
You're saying it is corruptible. But it doesn't have to be perfect to be useful. There's plenty of critical reviews on the platform. More than enough to take a peek into the problems some corps have before joining.
>UW is like one of those 1960's, concrete block kind of Soviet Utilitarian places

The way I came to appreciate the aesthetic of UW was to realize it is a school of the 20th and 21st centuries, whereas the Ivies are schools of the 18th and 19th centuries.

When you think of an abstract university setting, ‘the future’ looks like UW.

Finland does that 18 for up to 22% and 20 for above that in stores(state has monopoly for above 5.5%).

Unfortunately there is always a risk of ending up with defective components. In same ways this is a better outcome than getting a random defective chip, because the manufacturer/vendor cannot make the claim of user error as easily.

You cited wok hei as an aspect of performance that induction stoves don't have, but it's hardly an argument in favor of gas stoves. The article you link is basically about a tool that makes up for what common home gas stoves can't even provide.

Previous Serious Eats articles about it even cited the lack of performance from gas stoves and recommended modifying one with a Wok Mon, but even then the results weren't perfect.

Edit: For some reason I feel the need to clarify that this isn't a comment in support of, or against, gas stoves. I just like cooking and am aware of how hard it is to achieve quality wok hei at home.
Here are a few predictions for what comes out soon: First, several more engines failed at various times than currently acknowledged. Not all, or even most of the engine failures can be attributed to debrid strikes on the ground. Second, the rocket was far off course for most of the flight. Third, control of the rocket was lost earlier than acknowledged, due to both losing 2 out of three gimbaled engines and losing hydraulics in the gimbal. Lastly, the flight termination system failed. It should have been engaged as soon as directional control was lost, and it is likely that the booster blew up of other reasons.
