This is a place where government needs to step in for this to work. They need to pay farmers rebates for doing this stuff: storing water in the landscape, recharging aquifers, limiting fertilizer discharge (pollution), improving soil quality, limiting erosion.

There’s no individual incentive to do those things, at least on a year-to-year basis which is how people make decisions. You think about this year, within the boundaries of your own property.

But the benefits are largely for the region, not the individual.

So, it need to be done by government, or it won’t be done at all (at scale).

Of course some small individual farms will do (and are doing) it on principle because it’s the right thing to do. But we can’t rely on ethics to drive behavior at the economic level.
Does not answer the key question of how much ultrapure water will kill a human. Immersion killed a goldfish, but humans don't immerse themselves all that often, and cost would prohibit filling a bath tub with it, much less a swimming pool.

Would a standard US 8 fluid oz glass of ultrapure water kill? If it would, this seems like a good mystery novel gimmick.
There's a handful of apps that exist for phones, I use Jerboa at the moment. It's easy enough to get a feed of all subscribed communities, but subscribing is a bit of a pain every way I've tried, and most communities aren't active enough to get a good feed like you can with Reddit. Part of the problem is that most the popular instances of Lemmy are getting bombarded with traffic and availability isn't great. Just hitting subscribe doesn't always work, which is likely related to server health as many instances haven't let people log in or sign up periodically.

There's also some defederation issues, so you may need several accounts and then stich them all into one feed to truly get everything you want, but I've not attempted that.
Beehaw.org has a difficult onboarding process by design. And I welcome their experimentation.

But Lemmy.world is... fine-ish? The main issue is the bugs. If the sending of the confirm email fails, the website spins forever without an error. (And it looks like so many "confirm emails' were sent, that Lemmy.world was getting blocked for spam by its provider).

If you have an underscore in your username, the signup process hangs and spins forever.

If your password is longer than 20 characters or so, the signup process hangs and spins forever.

Etc. etc. Its not the best process and these bugs need to be fixed. But if you're like me (who created at the right time with a typical password and typical username), you probably get in to https://lemmy.world just fine.
> it runs under FastCGI on OpenBSD's fork of httpd.

FWIW, OpenBSD hasn't used [a fork of] Apache in nearly 10 years. Since OpenBSD 5.6 /usr/sbin/httpd has been a homegrown HTTP server, originally based in part on relayd, an HTTP proxy and another bespoke OpenBSD project. OpenBSD httpd can only serve static files or forward requests to a FastCGI handler.

I am interested to hear from any HN readers who live in SF, as to whether or not this sounds factually accurate.
Ooh I really welcome your perspective! That sucks. Most of the therapists and doctors I know are really interested in their therapeutic use —wary, but open if rigorous studies show benefits. Hopefully there will be less stigma as their supervised use begins penetrating our culture.
Honestly good question. Mostly I do it to discourage abuse. I configured the infrastructure so that it should always break even if people fully utilize their storage. But this project would probably be more suited to use something like Patreon (assuming it's OK with their ToS!). I'm open to alternative ideas for sure.

Just wanted to say that the "copy Figma layer" option is a really neat touch.

The catch-22 here is that it doesn't become good PR for them until the customer posts a complaint on social media. If Stripe solved it privately and then released a press release, people would accuse them of either lying or being manipulative, and there goes their good PR.
JSON is great, but lacks one feature that XML and its ecosystem has - extensibility and deep standarisation. XSLT, XML Schema, XML signing and encryption, native support of ids and refs, etc. All that missing points are doable with JSON or were added quite late, but yeah, standarisation is important.

Thanks. I've never had a great understanding of GPUs though, maybe you could clarify for me - assuming decent RAM, how much could you do on those four 4k screens? Could you have a 4k video playing on each one? A game like CSGO that's more CPU heavy than GPU? More graphically intense games?

Or is it more like it supports 4 monitors worth of business-type applications with maybe a single 4k video on one screen?
It's ... interesting.

I asked

how do i remove diacritics from unicode characters https://www.phind.com/search?cache=bd2b33eb-9454-4d38-975e-1... and it answered with multiple Python code snippets with the second solution getting close to the real solution but is slow and incorrect.

Now if I ask the question I actually want

how do i remove diacritics from unicode characters with php https://www.phind.com/search?cache=c29fe466-16cc-4795-94bf-0... then you can see it misunderstanding the question: the first answer is the desirable output (I suspect it only works for latin letters tho) except for the iconv problems mentioned but the second is completely incorrect. The third answer is close but no cigar as it only works with Latin characters.

The answer I wanted to see is using the ICU library to run the rules NFD; [:Nonspacing Mark:] Remove; NFC. as mentioned on https://unicode-org.github.io/icu/userguide/transforms/gener... and https://www.unicode.org/iuc/iuc22/a339.html and a million other places but I wanted to link only official Unicode documentation.
Congrats on the launch. Building a reliable background job / workflow infra is hard. Temporal has lifted the bar significantly, glad to see new development.

As for the schema management part, we at bytebase.com have also built an OSS product to tackle this specifically.
Thinking of Singapore?
Ours were purchased before that second gen was available. They're perfectly capable of connecting to a remote service to download and display slides, but without security and other updates, they were no longer reliable for our uses. A simpler (and cheaper) device made more sense for as little as we needed them for. I kept one of them to fiddle with at home though.
Hell no. Corporate America makes you run a rat race without faang-level rewards.

Are you guys hiring. I pride myself on writing short, simple and readable code.
Same here, working with and in that industry for ~17 years on technology strategy. I'm no evangelist either, neither for LCD nor OLED.

I frankly don't know how you technically define "visible burn-in" in context of QD (do you mean actual pure QD tech or Samsungs mixed use of the tech for QLED TVs?).

If we can agree, that:
1.) The jargon "burn-in" on OLED describes the luminance degradation of individual sub-pixels (i.e. a weaker red because the operation hours of a red sub-pixel were much higher than its neighbours).

2.) Samsung's "QLED" is a brand for a LCD panel with the backlight created using R/G QD and blue LED (instead of blue/yellow LED). The backlight on standard QLED is separated in ~700 zones of the display, so you have huge clusters of pixels using the same backlight zone.

Then: What is the equal meaning of "burn-in" then in the context of QLED? The luminance degradation of the whole zone?

Or is it the "legacy" meaning of burn-in on LCD: The occurence of weaker/dead pixels due to issues in the TFT layer (broken/weak transistors no longer properly rotating the crystals)?

Either way, I can't confirm and don't agree that OLED TVs will see a visible "burn-in" after ~2000hrs of normal use. First-gen models yes, but definitely not currently shipping models.
We can regulate 100 companies, or ask 8 billion people to individually change their behavior. Which of the two pushes responsibility onto amorphous others again? Which do you think is more likely to succeed if attempted?
Its not necessarily an implosion that can kick off a cascade of failures, a thruster could have gotten stuck and sent them into a spin. It looks like the submersible was heavily dependent on software if you take a look at a few the videos explaining its construction.

All those switches covering the walls of the Alvin sub (or any other real scientific submersible for that matter) are there to control every aspect of the sub at a hardware level. It doesn't look like the Titan had that level of control, at least not accessible quickly in an emergency.
I get paid to work, I'm not there because I fundamentally care about the organization or what it does. If you want to motivate me to do more than the bare minimum, please do so through motivating me, not by telling me I should be grateful to work for you.

And, yes, I'm entitled to be treated well, just like everyone else.
The big players are just late to the game, but have been making cars for decades. They will easily overtake Tesla on number of EVs built as they transition.

Tesla isn’t good at making cars. And every year my confidence in full self driving goes down. They are good at charging though and will print money doing that.
Is this comparable from a legal point of view, though? Those FedEx drivers were hired as contractors, while Amazon had a company as an intermediary.
Sure, you can run Word in a browser these days, and you can probably run the Android Word too. No, you can't run (easily) Word for Windows, as it's not Windows, nor Word for Mac.

Diablo 4 is a definite no. But probably maybe one of the VNC for games services has a frontend that works on Chrome OS; with all of the baggage that comes with.

If you're willing to put in work, older chromeboxes make decent, somewhat quirky general purpose PCs that can run FreeBSD or Windows or whatever, but it's still unlikely to play Diablo 4, because it's an intel laptop cpu with integrated graphics.
The Clarkson's Farm bit on growing wasabi was funny. It did make it sound like a very finicky plant to grow.
Every area of sufficient size, at least in the US, has rough neighborhoods
> First, the city is incredibly wealthy and has a massive budget ...

This is true at a surface level, but looking deeper at City services and obligations the situation is more complex than simply declaring numbers large. San Francisco also has a much larger population of immigrants from all over including other states.

> Second, and even worse, the people in charge including the mayor, the police leadership, and a majority of the Board of Supervisors (the legislative body for SF), really just don’t seem to care one bit about what’s happening. Sure, they will occasionally rant in public and promise to fix things ...

Don't seem to care apart from occasionally promising to fix things. This is classic San Francisco attitude. Difficult longstanding problems are clearly incompetence, disinterest, a conspiracy of corruption, or perhaps all of these. Records and meetings are typically fully public, but actually attending any of that is too much for a member of the public to bear. Maybe so, but then you also are skipping out on your responsibilities and potential to contribute to some kind of positive solution.
The intention matters little in these cases, and the consequences much. It is exactly the empty and superficial act of describing how much you care while remaining oblivious to their human needs and wants that makes the act so harmful. The obvious lack of care that is demonstrated while someone pats themselves on the back in that way deepens the feelings of social isolation and helplessness that caused the issue in the first place.
>Right now, dollar-for-dollar, electricity for your vehicle is cheaper than gasoline

When I did the math on this, that wasn't necessarily the case in my area, it depended on the situation. $0.40/kWh comes out to around 7 miles per dollar, depending on your vehicle and how you drive it (eg on a road trip going 80mph you'd probably get less than 7, chill city driving with no passengers maybe you get as high as 10 miles per dollar).

My current ICE car isn't particularly efficient (around 30mpg on the highway, whereas nowadays even non-hybrids can get 40mpg) but for road trip purposes it would also get around 7 miles per dollar.
Except that in SF you must bring your bicycle inside with you, which basically was only feasible for your office/workplace. Cannot do with a grocery store, theater, gym etc.

Edit: An idea that came to mind, someone run with this. Bike lockers would be an amazing feature that likely could curb a lot of the issues. Something with a secure lock built in (like biometric or complex pin), 360degree cameras, and an insurance policy. I'd have paid hourly for that service if I still lived in the city.

"In 2022, Google made upward of $30 billion in revenue from the sale of ad space on publishers’ websites. That was six times the digital advertising revenue of all U.S. news publications, combined. In a functioning market, no one would expect the middleman to make more than the content creator."

Do they think the only "publishers" are "us news publications" or just purposely misleading readers?
Is it obvious? Was it measured? I don't think being shouted towards counts as "being in other people's company" for the purposes of this article.

I know I've felt depressed in my life. I can tell you, during those times, I almost certainty wouldn't have even noticed people shouting at me. At worst, it would have been a neutral effect, if it registered at all.
98% CPU Utilization! Feels good to push all 10 cores of M1 Pro to their limits
On a non federal level, imprisoning people and hence goading them elsewhere is the only solution. No city/county/state has the resources to be able to offer healthcare or housing. Freedom of movement across the country means net benefit recipients would move in, and net payers into the system would move out.
If it's strictly EU, I'd say probably Denmark

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_European_countries_by_...

But you mention Switzerland which is not in the EU, so maybe you just meant Europe?

Ireland is a little lower on the list but has a large number of European HQs of big companies like Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Twitter, Paypal, AirBnb etc. But the price of housing here is extortionate right now.

Consider the cost of living, not just the highest salary. Norway, Denmark and Switzerland are among the most expensive places to live in the world. You'll pay a lot of your wages in rent, food, tax, utilities etc.

They threw out Boudin. They threw out the Board of Education Three. It's going to take a lot more than that, apparently.
You find simpler more intuitive, I get that, but can you understand the possibility here that the more granular control is, in general, an advantage to most folks?
Uh... I understand that as an Apple Fanboi you're required blame the user if they don't like Steve Jobs immaculate creation. But as it turns out, I am a user with very basic requirements for my MBP: if an external monitor is plugged in, use it; if a wired ethernet dongle is plugged in, make it available for use without having to set too many defaults; if I hit the power key on an external keyboard, turn on. These are all things I've seen other macs do.

<snark>
But you're right. I'm a hater for wanting my MBP to boot and use external monitors.

Oh, I'm another person that command-~ doesn't work for. I mean, it can work, but let's say I am working with three apps - two of them are web apps in their own chrome windows, three more chrome windows that I don't care about at the moment, and Numbers. I need to swap between the two because the monitor isn't big enough to show all the information at the same time.

I have to think about whether I want to tab or tilde at the moment, and then I have to make sure to minimize anything I'm not actively working on (or move it to a different space.)

But if I want something on a different space, then I have to think about moving over there because command-~ won't go there. So, I have to keep context in my mind that I want to Just Work.

I think if I could split out things like gmail, google calendar, or other SAASes rather than being separate windows I'd be better off. (I've created electron apps for some of these in the past, but it does make links out of them messy.)

I have a large screen most of the time, so I can keep the necessary context on the screen, but it becomes a larger problem when I'm on just the laptop screen.
Mission between 7th and 8th is one of the worst parts of town, and no one lives there for the community.

I’m guessing this person moved there for professional reasons if they didn’t even consider moving to any of the other dense parts of San Francisco.

The neighborhoods of San Francisco are: 1. Much more alive than downtown, 2. Safer, 3. Even more “dense” in certain areas given the decline in downtown foot traffic.
Yeah he picked probably among the worst neighborhoods to live in. I have noticed this is a recurring pattern among single male tech friends I have to move to Soma due to office proximity and then end up hating the city.

Jokes aside, if you walk into your local average middle of the road protestant church, nobody is going to ask you anything besides "New around here? what do you do?" Churches are filled with people with tepid religious convictions so if you stand up and sit down and sing along when you're supposed to, nobody is going to pin you down on philosophical questions over donuts and coffee after the service.

You can start an E-Money Institute in the EU and get a license to issue a stablecoin under MiCA.

I looked at the laws and there is genuinely no way to earn money except from the difference between the interest payments you get on the custodial accounts (at a normal bank). The only exception is if the contract contains an explicit duration. Then you are allowed to charge a "reasonable" fee for trade ins to Euro. E-Money is not allowed to pay interest. It is basically irrelevant unless you want to do a radically different form of banking.
Radio Bursts Precede Coalescence of Neutron Stars
With Nolan at least, he's acknowledged it was a deliberate "creative decision".

> “We made carefully considered creative decisions,” Nolan explained. “There are particular moments in this film where I decided to use dialogue as a sound effect, so sometimes it’s mixed slightly underneath the other sound effects or in the other sound effects to emphasize how loud the surrounding noise is. It’s not that nobody has ever done these things before, but it’s a little unconventional for a Hollywood movie.”
I believe having a good memory can both aid and hinder creativity. While a good memory helps with recalling information, it can also limit thinking outside the box and exploring new ideas. It's a balance worth considering!

Agreed, I had lived in that same neighborhood from about 6 years ago to 1 year ago, and while it took a turn for the worse on March 2020, it has always had a significant drug, homeless and fecees problem.
Unbelievable how embedded this meme is in our community. The article has to call it out explicitly right at the top, admit it's a fallacy, and then just... plows ahead anyway:

> My biggest problem with SF was simply not feeling physically safe [...] SF has a pretty low violent crime rate [...] Instead, the problem was that SF [has] thousands of people wandering around who are suffering from untreated substance abuse and/or severe mental illness

So... I guess the idea is that this is leaning extremely hard on "feeling". Author admits they're not unsafe. Author admits that their real issue is that they don't like being near people with drug habits or mental illness. But they still express it in the lede as "physical safety" anyway! Because that's how they "feel"?

Come on folks. Aren't techies like us supposed to be rationalists? Why are we lying to ourselves (and, in this blog post, others) about what we really want?
