Energy is not a bad thing in itself. Fossil fuels are problematic precisely because they’re slightly more energy dense than previous forms of energy while having huge, dispersed externalities not reflected in their upfront costs. Fusion and nuclear in general put the power densities of fossil fuels and all other previous forms of power to shame. It’s not a single order of magnitude more dense, it’s very many. And there are high costs up front which can thus be reflected in costs and price. Thus the market can more accurately use them.

Energy is not an evil. We are not “screwed already” as you put it. But thinking we’re past some fundamental point that makes any progress futile absolutely negates the possibility of improvement by keeping us from searching and exploring options. It’s saying we can’t row ashore because we refuse to row the boat despite being fully capable of rowing the boat.

All the rest of us not convinced of the futility need from those people unwilling to figuratively row is for those unwilling to simply let the rest of us row, figuratively, instead of them. That’s all your side needs to do-stop obstructing the rest of us.
While I agree with the sentiment of the article I can do without link traps that take me to a chainsaw execution gif under the guise of wedding bloopers.
> a way for musk to say « this whole dick measuring contest between meta and twitter is ridiculous

He started it! The joke backfires because it’s a cowardly cop-out from admitting fault. Humour has to have a kernel of truth to it. This tweet is a kid slapping a cat, getting swiped and declaring—to nobody in particular—that all cats are idiots. No!
The site is missing warmups in general, and would be a good addition. Perhaps there some warmups would only be for specific exercise types. E.g. yoga warmups for yoga moves.
I second steps/reps. I'd also add the reps done in the workout history in the profile.
I believe that a reason why nobody reported it earlier back then, could be that most of computers had pirate version of Windows, and also, Internet was just starting to get wider adoption.
Of course you are right. I didn't mean that they positioned themselves out of the market, just that it will be harder for them to find employees.
This is fantastic! I'll be using this in the AM.
Dawn, a WebGPU Implementation
Seriously? In eg Finland the legal minimum is 5 weeks and it's very common for people to take a month off in summer. I've yet to see a US company that matches that ("unlimited" vacation doesn't count), much less one where it's normal for people to completely disconnect for a month.
> So if X is so great, why exactly have the very developers who worked on it all switched to Wayland?

A default that broke half of the programs I use. Thank you.

A total of 400 € per annum for a personal website? Did I read that right? That's an impressive expense!

For me, domain registration $16.99 CAD + about $1.00 CAD/month in S3 storage and bandwidth costs ~ $29 CAD per annum. I could probably drive the hosting down to zero deploying on Github; but I'm too lazy to deal with it. And _vide infra_.

Truly though, the biggest cost to me over the years, keeping my little weblog is the time/churn created by the quest for the "Perfect Personal Website Stack." At some point, I realized that migrating from platform-to-platform comes with its own costs and "good-enough" is my new watchword. (It's just Hugo deployed to S3.)
Is there an open database for muscles / muscle groups with relationships to exercises?
Those who like greenfields only are probably those "upgraded" to PMs and the reason is they turn green into brown _very_ quickly.
The consumer doesn't bear 100% of the costs though. If mortgages cost $1mm to buy, they wouldn't cost $1mm to originate. They'd cost a little extra by being illiquid - the same amount as if they cost $2mm to buy.
Pretty cool. Would love a site like this except for flexibility. Bookmarked.
Teller is not meaningfully similar to Uri Geller.

1. Teller openly and unequivocally breaks character. He will describe (out loud) how and why he does mime for his stage persona. Uri Geller is never this candid.

2. Teller’s stage lie does not meaningfully change people’s understanding of the world. There are definitely people who don’t talk. If someone mistakes Teller to be in this category, not really a huge deal. No one has proven to be able to do the things Uri Geller claims.
Some key parts of the Internet were developed at CERN in the 80s, as a by product of funding research in high energy particle physics.

As I understand, a motivation for Stephen Wolfram developing the Wolfram language was to develop ideas he has that the universe is inherently computational on a fundamental scale. I read an article recently where he had linked up the Wolfram language with ChatGPT, producing more correct answers and less bullshit. It looked quite impressive. (I respect that it's important to subtract a Wolfram ego factor from articles he writes before you can really appreciate how impressive his results are)
In days of yore before upscaling was computationally practical a better standard was PAL region DVD's that were encoded from master (be that hires digital tape or direct from film).

In PAL regions, the PAL signal uses 625 signal lines, of which 576 (known as 576i signal) appear as visible lines on the television set, whereas NTSC formatted signal uses 525 lines, of which 480 appear visibly (480i).

In PAL video, every second line has the phase of the color signal reversed, which leads to the signals flattening out the frequency between the lines.

Effectively what this means is that damage to the signal appears as errors in saturation (level of color) rather than hue (shade of color) as it would appear in NTSC video, leading to a higher-fidelity picture of the original studio version.
You can't prove a negative. Technology progresses and finds new things we didn't know 10 years ago.

What you're suggesting is impossible.
Snooping was just the mean, not the end. Nobody is asking to be able to do that, people ask to get the same result.

When you add memory protection to a system you don't just say "you cannot have process communicate", you give them the tool to do it in a safe way.

> You want to do it right, not quickly.

You want to do it right in reasonable time, otherwise by the time it is done it is obsolete. Given the time it took to add basic functionality, I would say that the design is not a good one.

In particular I suspect that the unstated premise was that everybody would be using Gnome by now, so that offloading to Gnome all of that functionality was a smart idea. Unfortunately people stubbornly continue to use the software that they like, so now we are in this situation.

> The final solution will be there for decades

There is no final solution, in 40 years the needs will be quite different that those of today, so it is not easy to satisfy both. You need an architecture that can evolve with the needs.
What a great webapp, so simple and good. Love that it is straight to the point, choose what you have to work with, what you want to work on and boom there is the exercises with an added film - go work out. Toying with the idea of putting up a screen with this in my home gym so friends and family easily can get a program for when they come to workout.
There's a misunderstanding here due to context. Someone working in a startup (been there) will find it difficult to understand just now much communications are required to get anything done in a large MNC. Out of necessity, people who have pushed enough code to understand the systems have to step up to do the comms instead of being siloed. I had many a time freaked out some other team because the phrasing of my email made them think we're going to dump more work on them. This is the actual difficult part about engineering at scale: Getting everyone on the right page.

You can opt to keep coding, but it won't get you far in your career. Does this mean the communications have more value than actual implementation? It depends. Again, this value differs at different company sizes.

I just got the chance to code again last month, and I've already completed 5 features (code reviewed) that the juniors couldn't complete in a year. I won't say they are worse at coding, but more that I am more familiar with how dependencies work because I've already done the same thing when I was a junior. Also, knowing who to ask for help also helps a lot.

I stand by my statement. Code is easy and code is cheap. One day you'll understand.

>I was going to say exactly this. There are many talented engineers for whom compensation is not their primary motivation.

I presume those engineers and their families already solved some problems like having what to eat and having where to sleep, so they have the luxury to pursue other objectives.

I also presume only a small number of engineers are in that position.

This is a better comment than your previous one, in which you just dismissed the project and the work people have been doing without touching on any key issues you might have with wayland.

I myself was not a fan of wayland either, due to a bunch of functionality removed which I use in my workflow, and will stick with XOrg until XFCE forces me to switch to Wayland.

There's a lot of churn in the Linux ecosystem, and some are going to be better received than others. I didn't see the point in Wayland (but I'm not a maintainer of XOrg code to understand how bad the codebase is), I see the principle behind ideas like Flatpak (although not sure if they have a good sandboxing story now, but they sure have their GBs of layers), but when it comes to pipewire, for example, I'm very happy that it exists.

That word paradigm is doing so much work in this sentence. You realize we're talking about a gadget/product here, not a new system of government or medicine or locomotion right? So what you're basically saying is "some people lose the need to buy useless gadgets foisted on them by marketing".
Surely working on Carbon capture dwarfs anything else we could possibly be worried about?
Magic is a complex, multifaceted and ancient collection of phenomena that will resist tight definitions. That said, one way to define magic is “the capacity to manifest immaterial ideas into physical reality.” Another definition might be “the ability to use rituals or artifacts to produce desired outcomes through hidden or inscrutable means.”

A mundane example is architectural decoration, which can change the surrounding neighborhood vibe in a palpable way—but good luck trying to define and validate a physical model of how that psychological phenomenon takes place. Being open to a bit of magic doesn’t mean turning off rationality or believing in Uri Geller. But it might mean believing in charisma and vibes, even if they evade rational modeling. Music, for instance, is filled with magic. And people often like to be enchanted!

it would force companies to pay workers for any time logged into the app, regardless of whether they were delivering or not

Heh. Do these companies interview their gig workers? Could I collect some passive cash like this?

What a soul sucking job interview that would actually be:

What makes you a great delivery bicycle person and where do you see yourself in 5 years?

So in other words, these companies would mandate that you make a minimum of 17 bucks worth of deliveries or get fired, no?

> The vast majority of people on here don't have a figment of an idea of who you are, let alone your gender. If anything, they probably assumed you were a man and were just being armchair arrogant/pretentious. So your base qualification for your complaint ("being mansplained to") is instantly nullified.

It's not about me. I was upset about the careless disrespect in these comments to saagarjha and to the article author Craig Hockenberry. Cycl0p created a HN account yesterday for the sole purpose of replying, incorrectly and dismissively, to saagarjha: https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=Cycl0p

I'm not a big fan of the term "mansplaining" either, but it's the most recognizable one for something like this phenomenon. I once coined the gender-neutral term "downspouting", but nobody knows it. If there's a better word, I'd be happy to use it.

My own qualifications are largely irrelevant here. All I said was, "I can guarantee that saagarjha knows more than you about Apple development", a guarantee that I think has now has been demonstrated by subsequent comments.

Without restart policy, a failing init container is retried forever. With a policy of never, the entire pod is marked as having failed. The init containers still have to run and succeed before the main pod continues.
Same in Denmark, technically 25 days, because weekends, but my American colleagues get 30 days. 25 is absolute minimum and most companies will give you 5 days extra, but the accounting is different from the 25 days required by law. That means you can't transfer them to a new employer, they are accounted for in a different cycle than first 25 and the employer can technically tell you when to use them, say between Christmas and New Years, or one of the in-between days in the public holidays in spring. Most just let you use them whenever, if you're an office worker.

These bypasses are typically not for when are the only user and also the administrator. Sudo here is not really for securing your machine: as others have said, if an attacker gets to your personal account, it is game other. It is mostly a tool for you to avoid fucking up your system by mistake.

These bypasses are useful if you want to get root access on a machine you are given some, but not all administrative rights, like a shell and a few sudo commands, for example to restart a service.
> I have been besieged by dialogs, popups, and notifications asking me to give a program access to a file or removable disk or my downloads folder

This is not MacOS's problem. This is an industry-wide problem where users are besieged by rude software that treats the user like an idiot and decides to do as it pleases regarding system configuration. It is not an exaggeration that it is a security nightmare. With dark patterns becoming the norm, I am happy to have MacOS limit which programs can access which resource, even if it means setup takes longer.

The world you wistfully pine for, with well behaved software and operating systems that simply serve as a platform for programs, no longer exists.

I do feel like most beginner/intermediate lifters with gym access would be better served just picking a standard full-body workout routine (e.g. GZCLP) and sticking to it. Figuring out which muscle groups you'd like to be targeting with specialized exercises is not something you should be doing as a novice.
Water, paint chipping, air pollution from coal power plants.

Don’t get me wrong, it would be good to phase out these cables especially the ones in the ground which contaminate the soil. But let’s not imagine they are a very significant problem. I’m actually annoyed by the article because it gives the actual significant lead emitters - coal burning power plans - some kind of cover up.
Great app from the UX/UI perspective. The progression from saving in the browser and only requiring an account later is very nice as well. Perhaps the only thing missing is a start over button.

As for exercise selection, it returns a lot of niche moves and exotic variants. Which makes it interesting but probably not a good fit for someone who would be most likely to use this app, ie. isn't an intermediate+ body builder already. Occasionally the recommendations are just bad (crunches).

Certainly a welcome addition for someone looking for variety though.
"Everyone should focus on being an influencer"
What we sold was software that customers deploy locally. We don't have any of their data. But the software would stop working if their license is no longer valid, resulting in downtime. That already made people angry enough.

Now we have changed it so that the software never turns off even if license has expired (though it will continue to nag an email address). Updates also cannot be installed.
Based on my personal experience with psychedelics I used to think that these medicines could be a tool to wake people up. Actually, after seeing what else has been tried and failed, I came to the conclusion that psychedelics are the _only_ reliable tool in this arena because of their power. I sincerely thought that psychedelics could make people reconnect to the reality of how things really are. That if they wake up to reality, they would 1.) freak out about our situation and then have an incentive to restrain from doing the "bad" things and 2.) rediscover this deep connection with Nature which is the only viable basis for a harmonious relationship with it.

Unfortunately during the decades I lost my faith even in this. Apparently to have this kind of experience on a psychedelic it's not enough to just dose someone. Of 1000 people taking psychedelics, maybe 1 gets such an experience. And although the scientists at Johns Hopkins try to figure out how to increase that percentage, it's still not enough.

Nowadays I tend to think that all of this is a God's dream and this God for some reason does not want to wake up too soon from its dream.

Experience.

A UK average takes in all the various spots. Like Manchester is about 50k. London about 80-90k. But all those small little companies with developers in the middle of nowhere bring the average down. Then all the digital agencies paying pennies brings the average down.

I had a remote contract in the UK at the start of the year that was 80k. So I know good pay is available but I also have an inbox full of 24-40k a year roles from recruiters.
Seeing a lot of comments say (in one way or another) 'well duh, wages are lower in the EU' than they are in Silicon Valley.

But I don't know, if they'd laid off their EU staff instead this thread would be full of people saying it's just too expensive to be EU-based due to all the regulations and 'unnecessary' worker protection. In fact, there are many such threads on this brightly-colored website.

Maybe, if you feel inclined to post something like that, consider if you'd used pretty much the same reasoning if it were the other way round and reflect on that.
