The fields do not interact in that way. When you move a normal electromagnet through a magnetic field, the electromagnet's field is affected because the the other magnet induces a current in the conductor. Possibly a counter-current, lessening the total magnetic field of the electromagnet.

That kind of induction doesn't happen in a superconductor. That's the Meissner effect - a superconductor rejects the induction of currents by exterior magnetic fields. I don't really understand the physics but, I think, the zero resistance is a property of a state of matter able to transfer electrons without electrons actually being involved. It's immune to normal electromagnetic effects.

Practically speaking, when you charge up an inductor made out of a superconductor, and then connect the two ends together -- the current cycles endlessly and the coil holds the magnetic field. It behaves like a permanent magnet you can turn on and off.

If you were to then apply a load to the terminals and break the loop, the energy held in the magnetic field will flow back out of the inductor as electricity.

It's already a thing, practically. Such systems have been built to load balance spiky transmission lines, etc. They fit into a unique niche somewhere between capacitors and batteries in trade-offs.

Search in the start menu and window management improved a lot since then. The newer screenshot tools are nice compared to 95 too.

They definitely got a lot of things right, though. The basic aesthetic was pretty good and very discoverable.
I miss, when I had a jailbroken phone, briefly being able to set the animation time to zero. Everything is so much faster, even with hardware that can more than handle the GPU stuff. It’s now (on fast hardware) the actual animation frames themselves that are literally wasting my time.

I wish Apple would let me watch each of their oh-so-clever animations one time to give these “designers” their satisfaction, and just jump-cut to the final state from that point on.
Highly recommended if you haven't seen it yet.

Google leaves that as a team preference. Go certainly has highly opinionated style enforcement, but it is surprisingly not automatic formatting across the board.

Amazon may have changed, but this is also not universal. Team preference, though they may be enforcing it in the older code base for the site (i.e. detail pages, etc.).

Facebook is the only one on your list I can confirm does, in part perhaps due to the predominant language (Hack).

I think "monetary inflation" is the term you're looking for.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monetary_inflation
There was an article about that on HN in the last few weeks. I struggled to find that specific post, but I think this is the same story. https://www.theregister.com/2023/07/15/pigeon_model_geolocat...
Chicago95 is a theme for XFCE. I run XFCE with i3wm on a SSD and it is insanely, perversely fast. Most of the default apps bundled with XFCE start instantly. The system boots within seconds, no need to consider any type of fast boot, hibernation etc. Native apps boot within seconds. Electron apps are slower, because Electron.

A typical XFCE system on startup will allocate around 500MB of RAM, but with the way memory management works on Linux I think it doesn't really need all of that and lets go of it if something else does.

It is kind of a barebones desktop environment, but certainly has a lot more stuff packed in than Win9x did and for a little extra disk space you can cherry pick whatever Gnome and KDE utilities you want anyway.

So I think this phenomenon of slow modern desktops is a Windows/Mac problem, if you want one that's lightning fast, they're out there.
I was reminded recently of a funny segment by a comedian about how everyone on Hollywood virtue signals about socialism and taxes, yet all of them use LLCs to avoid taxes.

The recent strike showed this off with the trend of publishing residual checks, all of them are made out to shell LLCs.
It's worth noting that "ye" also existed as the second person plural pronoun while "þe" simultaneously existed as a second person singular. These are now merged in most English dialects. Getting the unrelated definite article "þe" mixed up in this and substituting a "y" was more than just a matter of misguided font substitution because some forms of the handwritten thorn look very similar to a "y". Two words pronounced "the", one of which is easily conflated with another spelled and pronounced "ye" leads to the inevitable result.
We’re not talking about nurses train drivers or anyone capable of holding a job with post secondary education. A large chunk of educational resources go towards making sure your parking lot attendant can make change or you McDonald’s worker can read signs. Most of those industries already know their workers can’t do that well so they have used technology to automate it away.
So I generally held the same questions as you. I think part of the answer is in our modern debt based monetary system, there isn’t one clear notion of money supply (M1, m2, m3,..). Also, these supplies of money can be only esoterically linked to price of goods (look at japan). As such talking about price of goods is more applicable to the general population. Debasement has become the unambiguous term for inflation of the money supply.
I'm quite sure they know the difference between real engineering and pretend engineering and I can guarantee you there is no duct tape in there, each and every last residual effect is part of the model, if it weren't it wouldn't work at all. The scales you're talking about imply that even the tiniest parasitic effect that you could safely ignore otherwise is going to utterly dominate your work if you don't account for it.

Finding My Balance: An Evolved and Simplified Task Management System
This guide recommends "yadif" as a deinterlacing filter. I find "w3fdif" looks better. Like yadif, it does not do motion tracking, so it's reasonably fast and avoids the distracting artifacts that motion tracking sometimes causes (I'd rather have consistently mediocre results than sometimes great and sometimes bad), but it considers three fields at a time instead of yadif's two, which lets it hide the interlacing artifacts better.
Uh-oh, unintended political statement. Will look into it, thank you!
In order for the author’s thesis to work, the government (which is somehow absurdly neither sided with capitalists nor workers) actively pits the two classes against each other in a permanent stalemate. In order for that to work, the two must be equally matched in power, else one side would just win and the gambit would be over. Workers as a class are equal to capitalists as a class neither in number nor in combined power. It’s an absurd take.

My experience is the opposite: I can keep my init.el in version control, and it contains Lisp code that I can run and debug by hand if needed. If some mode doesn't work right, I can step through its code and examine its variables. If I want to know what a key combination does, I can ask Emacs and it will tell me something like "M-s l runs the command consult-line (found in global-map), which is an interactive native-compiled Lisp function in ‘consult.el’." So I know that the combination is defined in global-map, and the function is defined in consult.el, and I can easily find the code.

In VS Code it's certainly easy to install an extension. Some mystery thing happens, and there are new commands available and some programming language support might be enhanced, but it is all very opaque. If I wanted to debug the code, I have no clue where to start. I'm sure it's there somewhere but all this looks to me much less discoverable than in Emacs.
My library has fricken 3d printers. It's quite obvious that guys' politics. "All taxes are theft" isn't the mature political position he believes it is... He was never serious lol. "Get rid of all taxes except road maintence and reduce everyone's taxes by 20%"

It was the old definition. It made more sense when the money supply was defined as a the pool of circulating money. Now that the supply is debt based and abstract, it became non pragmatic to keep referencing it.
Let's say you have an investment account with millions of dollars in it. Let's say for the purpose of the example you are earning 30% a year[0]. You're accustomed to use that account to fund your travel. You convert some securities to cash to buy plane tickets to travel all over the world.

You're going to pay capital gains taxes, or just income taxes, on those conversions to liquid capital.

If instead you donate those securities to a "Charity", then the earned interest is not taxed, and you receive a tax benefit for moving the property to the charity entity. If the charity is happy for you to travel all over the world, then you're done. Same benefit accrues, tax burden becomes negligible.

What's left to determine (from our electronic armchairs) is: Does the charity do good for the nation, for the world, to an extent that it's worth forgoing the tax income? I expect that the answer is "Yes" for several of the charities we consider household names. I expect that the answer is "No" for the overwhelming majority of charities, by count or by endowment. We could start by taxing Harvard. :)

[0] Not that anything is dependable year on year, but that's the rate that university endowments made in 2021.
Realistically, with the title you suggest nobody would have read the post.

A title is not "the most informative and complete sentence summarizing the article", it also has the goal to stimulate curiosity.

Now every single HN post has a comment on how the title is wrong..
> because it implies that there's some entity out there that's actually good at spending money

No, this is the weird framing. As if the money has to go to some entity other than the individual that earned it. The government is taking money from individuals for their supposed benefit.
>for the "Open With" dialog, or event file context menu to show up on Win, when you right clicked on a file in Win9x-7?)

That's because you installed a ton of 3rd party shit which were registered as a handler for this/all filetypes so when the Explorer needed to show that menu it had to query every registered handler, extract an icon and if those .dlls weren't in the RAM, then you waited for the slow disk access.
This doesn't mean that that's the only reason for inflation.

Look at the rising profits and explain to me how that isn't because of higher prices which account to inflation.
This is safety not financial auditing though. Huge difference. Also see FDA and how it allows companies to submit data and studies.
I feel there's an interesting business opportunity for sturdy, reusable, general-purpose transport boxes (out of e.g. high-quality plastic). You could add a deposit-refund system on top so they are treated well.

This way one could also reuse filling material. Presumably you could also integrate an RFID chip for identification or maybe to reduce the need for paper labels.
Or we could, you know, cap the amount of sugar in products by law or introduce a tax on added sugar. Just seems simpler. Plus it’s working in the EU.

If you think predicting a single number and doing it this badly (temperatures), 33% within the correct value, and calling it science, you're the problem.

Oh and nice cherry picking. With the given variable and its pretty small variance, I can cherry pick models too, and claim it is the rain god's judgement, or whatever.

The fact that IPCC's models currently barely even give a consistent prediction, and the variance between them is so high, shows this isn't science.

Everyone's attributing the signal in the models to CO2 or climate change, while the most reasonable explanation, is that the signal is a result of the agreed upon biases and approximations that everyone in "climate science" is copying from each other, and it is also clear that models that were developed independently give more diverging results, the Russian model even predicting cooling.

But then you shouldn’t extrapolate your local library spending well any more than you don’t want GP extrapolating that his local library spends poorly.

What makes you think all libraries are run as well as yours? It seems the question is “does government do well, in general, at managing money?” And having an example of your local library isn’t very helpful for predicting whether government is good or bad.

I don’t think the sentiment is “every single government in existence is horrible at managing money” and more so “in general, government is inefficient at management so is not a good investment for optimal social benefit.”
I think there is some level of hardwiring limiting the palatability of sweetness, at least in some people.

It is not discipline for me. It is not even taste. It is tolerance.
Inflation is just the increase in cost of goods.

QE can cause inflation, but QE != inflation.

It’s called food inflation because people know inflation is about cost, so you don’t need to specify inflation of food costs. You can just say food inflation.

I'm not but this is the second time you've stooped to questioning my credibility (which is against the rules of hackernews). For some reason you've fixated on this one phrase of "giving actual examples" when I'm obviously pointing to a wider trend of extreme waste.
I dislike customize though whereas I like the GUI interface to settings in vscode.

I agree Emacs has too many bugs (but I haven't found anything that suits me better for maintaining notes and to-do lists and such).
This is fundamentally the major problem.

It’s obvious there’s a limited number of samples and they potentially don’t feel like they have a complete grasp on how to reliably produce more using their current level of knowledge regarding the process they used to create the first one… sometimes science involves luck. They have been working on this for years, I can completely believe a non-trivial portion of that time was spent trying to go from a fluke to having at least some ability to produce samples that demonstrate superconducting properties.

They may have only a half dozen samples of varying purity and quality…

The samples may not be particularly “strong” and given the powder based process involved may be too brittle to safely “send” and thus require careful hand courier delivery like a fresh organ for transplant, just without the urgency…

It’s entirely possible they may be mistaken and it’s not a superconductor, but these people are not fools, so I’m inclined to “give them enough rope” and to let this all play out and see where the either falter and the falsehoods exposed by the absence of any further evidence, they are are shown their mistakes once others get their hands on samples, other’s reproduction proves them correct, or their samples are studied by others and the evidence from their paper proves to be correct regardless of novel theories regarding the mechanism of superconductivity involved.

Science is a process, and to be honest it’s fun watching how fast people are pouring on the gas and trying to find out if this is real or not … stark contrast to the abject scepticism and shoestring budgets given to many innovative potential ideas.
I doubt it makes much difference. At least in C++ objects are just structs unless you’re using polymorphism, and tracking a few things like the position of a window can’t be very intensive anyway. It’s probably more things like loading assets and rendering effects and background tasks that slow it down
Emacs on my system is ~8sec load time, vs ~5sec load time for Code. I have not optimized either (but I have decided on using Straight as package manager on Emacs, which is arguably faster than the built-in).

I use LSP a lot (through eglot with Emacs-29). For each "mode" in Emacs there are alternatives to LSP, mostly what was there before LSP, which may be equally good. However, I found that switching to LSP simplified my setup, and having the same functionality/keybindings between modes is great, e.g. my projects switch me between Python, Rust, and Java, earlier that was basically three different "IDEs", while today they're very similar.
I think popularity implies usefulness to a degree, but I don't disagree that it might be unfair.

As for the functional approach to collection operations, I personally like it a lot. When I used Java, I used streams a lot, now that I primarily use C# I use LINQ a lot. I think in a lot of cases the syntax is more expressive and hence more readable than loops, but both have their place and both can be used badly.

Often times you can write a simple statement that does a lot of work and is very clear to the reader, assuming they are familiar with the API/paradigm. Equivalent loop implementations can be significantly more verbose which generally reduces readability. Other times a simple task can require a very convoluted functional approach whereas a loop implementation would be fairly straight forward.

As with everything there are pros and cons, they both have their niche but personally I think I use the functional approach more than I use loops these days.
I don't think anyone can tell, because no one seems to understand anything about it.
This sounds like a nightmare for Python. No auto formatter would solve inconsistent indentation for you.

You would need to put a little more effort into using your caret to find issues when a compiler gives a row and column coordinate.

Max width restrictions (i.e. 80 columns) would become meaningless and arbitrary.

Your entire team would likely have to agree to the font choice for consistency.

OS font rendering differences would make life very interesting.

> You have cause and effect switched. The field is the result of the flow of electrons.

Actually it's the electric field that causes the flow of electrons. The flow of electrons does not create the electric field.

It can't be the other way around, as the movement of electrons does not create an electric field, only a magnetic field (which is then crossed with the electric field outside of the conductor to create a flow of energy).

Electrons do not carry energy in a circuit. They use up some of the energy from around the conductor when they bump into atoms of the conductor, we call this process resistance. In particular they can be used purposefully to convert EM energy into heat, like in a light bulb.

PS. I keep bringing the circuit theory in because it is the reason why people can't believe how electricity actually works. But you can forget about this if it doesn't help, it's not that important.
