But it’s really not. A satellite is never going to be able to get the same shots as someone ground level with a good camera.

We’re also actively tracking where their satellites are at any given point in time and move things when they aren’t overhead.

So to act as if an individual on the ground couldn’t get info the satellites cannot is just silly.

Whats the point of gpt summarization as a comment, and not mention it?
I also snarked a bit when I saw your word count example, but immediately reversed course when I saw the JSON formatting one-liner. I will use this. I will use the hell out of it. Thanks!

Thinking of buying an EV in Colorado? You could get $26,500 in discounts
I was thinking about that. On one hand, per capita tells you the relative use per person, which is useful for who consumes the most (most wasteful lifestyle). We know this will almost always be America.

On the other hand, we could measure per gdp and see who generated the most value from that pollution. This would probably help the US relative to other nations in ranking. It may hint at how efficiently the consumption is.

Of course economic output isn’t everything in life, there’s other ways to determine value and fairness and all that, but it’s be an interesting comparison to per capita.

Eg. The hydrocarbon emissions from a half-hour of yard work with the two-stroke leaf blower are about the same as a 3,900-mile drive from Texas to Alaska in a Raptor," said Jason Kavanagh, Engineering Editor at Edmunds.com.

This is not true. Subscribers are allowed to share copies of source code, per the GPL, without penalty. See Section 1.4 of

Well, for starters, there are many points of the process where your entire future is down to the mood of the immigration officer at the airport. Making it so that the safest way to not have to potentially uproot your entire life in hours is to just keep your head down and be a good little indentured servant until you get lucky in a lottery.

Happened to travel internationally, either to see family for a week or for a conference in the 3 years between finishing your education and getting a chance at an H1B? Maybe they'll let you back in, maybe they won't, no one can say.

Happened to study and work here for over a decade, slaved away for an employer to convince them to sponsor your residency?, Employer screws up your green card application after pushing it off till the H1B limit, you get screwed and have to leave with zero recourse.

It's no wonder illegal immigration is such a big issue here, especially with sanctuary cities, you come and stay illegally and governments will bend over backwards to help you stay, you come here, get an advanced education and work hard to remain in legal status for a significant chunk of your life, supporting yourself financially and giving back to the country and you get kicked out for something that wasn't even your fault.

In comparison DMVs and even the IRS aren't renowned for being in the habit of completely wrecking someone's life's plans over the mood of one random person. There are pretty blatantly wrong things people have to do (and keep doing) for the DMV or IRS to have a similar impact on their lives.
part 2...

I think it is beyond obvious I have not sat idle after having to drop out of engineering school in my mid 20's. The above isn't a list of things I touched superficially. Each of the above skills represents (and came from) having to learn in order to perform at different jobs or for specific projects. Starting and running my own tech company forced me to learn even more. It was self-funded, which means I had to do it all for a long time.

...so, why is it that I can count interviews from job applications in the last, say, ten years, with two hands?

About seven or eight years ago a recruiter opened-up to me when he sensed my frustration. What he told me rattled me to some extent. He said nobody would hire me and suggested entrepreneurship was my only path. The way he put it was:

"The owner/CEO of a small to medium company won't hire you because, given your experience, they will be afraid you will learn their industry and become a competitor. The manager at a medium to large company won't hire you because they will be afraid you'll take their job."

That has been in the back of my mind for years now. At the same time, I hear so many stories from people who send out hundreds of resume's and never get so much as a smoke signal back. While I do wonder "What's wrong with me?", I also ask myself whether the problem really centers about hiring practices today. You'd think many companies would jump at the opportunity to have someone like me contribute to their mission. Yet, nothing...

And there's the question of age discrimination, which is a real thing in tech.
There is a wonderful animated film called The Secret of Kells inspired by this book. It has the most beautiful animation style of any movie I have ever seen, I think. Highly recommended it just for the artwork.
But what if the US provides more? We have to consider what each person gets per unit of pollution.

Hypothetically, nation A could generate pollution wastefully, while nation B could do so less wastefully, but provide 10x as much.

Eg.

“ The hydrocarbon emissions from a half-hour of yard work with the two-stroke leaf blower are about the same as a 3,900-mile drive from Texas to Alaska in a Raptor," said Jason Kavanagh, Engineering Editor at Edmunds.com.”

I think it’s easy to say that before the world is 5 degree hotter than after, and will vary greatly based on impact and how much benefit you saw from what made the world 5 degrees hotter. I think almost anyone but people who are long oil production and ICE technology would rather see a world without oil though. It’s a super useful high density energy source that’s cheap and portable and requires low tech to make use of. But it’s filthy and finite. Beyond CO2, I think no one likes air pollution, high particulate counts, acid rain, soot covering everything, noise pollution, and all the other legacies of the age of fire. I for one welcome the age of maxwells equations.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADM-3A#Legacy

> The use of the HJKL keys for moving the cursor in the vi editor and its descendants originated from the ADM-3A [...] The ←, ↓, ↑, → and Home labels printed on the H, J, K, L, and ~ ^ keys were a visual reference to the control characters Ctrl+H, Ctrl+J, Ctrl+K, Ctrl+L, and Ctrl+~ ^ that were required to move the cursor left, down, up, right, and to the top/left corner (or "Home" position) of the terminal, respectively [...] The Ctrl+H and Ctrl+J functions were the standard ASCII backspace and line feed respectively, but the interpretations of Ctrl+K, Ctrl+L, and Ctrl+~ ^ were new to the ADM-3A.

Seems almost a happy accident. I personally like the placement because the most common movement in a document is down and it's placed right under the most dextrous finger, the index finger, by a coincidence between ASCII encoding and the QWERTY layout. Up being the second most common movement was put under the second most dextrous finger. Nice.
The process is the punishment. Most likely he will win in court, but after years of legal battles, lost equipment that he has to replace without reimbursement, and having to find funds to pay contractors to repair his residence.
So he made a connector with a resistor that connected to ground? Is this different than normal TV repair somehow?
Take the current situation with San Francisco as a clear example of where this leads.

Americans definitely don’t care as much about face as the Chinese do, so it really isn’t that big of a deal. China’s economy was eventually going to stem its emigration, and a lot of rich Chinese send their kids to school the states now with the expectation that they will come back, not as a hedge against the Chinese internal problems.

China could do better with immigration. Like, if you think American immigration is bad, China is worse, permanent residency wasn’t even a thing for non-Chinese until a few years ago, and is still quite rare.
No judgement taken...i try to go through hn article headers as quickly as possible. If theres an idiot that thinks "MK-1" is an appropriate title id prefer they dont bother to be honest. Missing that, i go through some comments to find out what is it about. If i have to waste minutes to find out what it is about then ill go and comment a summary
I‘m generally with you here. I also like to learn and do stuff on my own. But there is a catch to some things when self thought. One can read and watch videos for hours and still miss a crucial detail that only a master in the field could teach you. I have high respect when it comes to high voltage, high/low temperatures or any machine work with fast spinning items. One should build up knowledge and confidence in a slow pace when no instructor is present.
Bad engineering (way overpowered board for the job), bad research (plenty of cheaper similar boards that do the same thing), bad economics as they chose the only supplier that doesn't sell bare chips, so that developing a cheaper personalized board is not doable.
It was the wrong tool for the job since the beginning, and now it's also the overpriced nearly unobtanium link that inflates their production costs and can could bringthe product to an end..
Agreed. This apples-to-apples comparison being obviously missing here is quite telling.
Wait. So your "evidence" for that claim is the act unbanning a black person and a former president?

You're effectively telling me that the claim is invalid
In the US, at least in most places, you can’t subdivide your land at will. When you buy a piece of land, it’s worth more if it’s zoned such that it can legally be subdivided.
It really is funny how much vi's odd-looking key choices aren't odd at all once you see the keyboard it was developed on:)

You can actually cut/paste in finder - just little different. You copy a file with Cmd+C, then paste it somewhere with Cmd+Option+V (instead of usual Cmd+V) and voila you have cut the file.

Yeah, it sucks.
No they will like it. A great book on the topic is “Hitlers Beneficiaries”. Most people like the idea of punishing their out group.

Using gvim to automatically edit and re-path thousands of ArcView 3 project files across our network shares in the early 2000s was one my "Behold! I am mighty and a god!" highlight moments.

Before that the project was "work with these 25 people and help them open each project and fix the broken paths interactively" (because servers changed).

The script ran at night and everyone's things "just worked" the next morning. It was glorious.

Thanks Bram.
You get a lot of Koreans, Thai, and Africans of all sorts in Chinese universities. Still not very common, but you will run into them at Chinese universities. It always isn’t language related, my wife knew of Korean art students at the Chinese art university she attended in Beijing.
I was looking at the login links at the top… it's interesting eh.

- Persona is dead.

- Twitter has been rebranded and its future is uncertain.

- Reddit took them down

Github and Google are both reliable oauth providers. Though the github oauth is linked to a personal account, not an org, which is all kinds of awful for reliability of the app.

Since I use 1Password, I've started to always retain backup login+PW methods for every website I use oauth for anyway. And if I do use oauth, it's ALWAYS gonna be using Google (which is reliable and I pay for) or nothing except for very specific scenarios where oauth perms are relevant. I think the federated auth dream is just entirely dead at this point.
My favorite one liner is :!}fmt which on Linux and UNIX systems runs from where the cursor is, through to the end of the paragraph though the fmt(1) command (which wraps words etc.) When I edit a file that has no line endings this can create a readable document for me.
> all that's left is configuring Linux to play an audio recording of a keypress every time I press a key

I unironically think I've seen that config recently - someone had an actually quiet keyboard but wanted the full Mechanical Keyboard Effect™ so they just... have it play the sound per keypress. (It was not 100% clear to me whether it was an elaborate joke or a real aesthetic choice)

Don't do chat GPT summaries on HN. Everyone here knows how to do it themselves and it doesn't contribute anything useful.
It would be more tactful to just admit you are wrong. Attacking me with strange baseless accusations, based on what I can only assume are my correct positions in previous scientific discussions, is a strange saving face tactic
People haven’t woken up yet to the combination of social media plus ever present cameras. Traditional ideas of security through obscurity plus mass media manipulation to keep secrets out just doesn’t work like it used to. In the meantime a lot of decent people are going to get caught in the crosshairs of populist rights violations.
No, that is not a fair characterization of what I said.

Our diversity is a complexity that is not addressed for in the working model, so it’s not that we shouldn’t try…but we shouldn’t assume that a model that works well in one environment will work well in another, significantly different, environment.
Agree with the odd framing. Because some Chinese scientists are going back to China, doesn't mean America has lost the game. There is lots of brain power in the world, not only from China. America gets and can get smart immigrants from many other places.
It is hard to argue that Jimmy Carter is not a good person. It is also hard to argue that he was a good president.
H1B terminates in permanent residency, but if you are from certain countries (India, China, Philippines, Mexico), you have to wait for quota to free up (so you are in limbo having an extension of your visa but no PR yet). Still, to say that only “a lucky few” get green cards from an H1B is disingenuous when the vast majority get them within a few years of their renewal ending (after 6 years). The USA still issues 740k green cards a year, after all.
This is just another admission that your claim has no merit
The lookup is one of the cheapest instructions the cpu has.
>I read as many full-book summaries as I could for Democracy in America. Including those from GradeSaver, LitCharts, and CourseHero. This gave me a general outline of the content and structure of what I should expect. You’d be amazed by how much clarity this step provides when you actually start reading.

Also how much it takes away.

If the book is seminal you should read it first directly, without being influenced by some individual scholar's interpretation, some popular "preconceived wisdom" about them by some hack, or, even worse, the "Cliff notes" summary.

After you've read the book fresh, you can then read those, and, then, sure, go and re-read the book.

Though, if the book is from a certain historical period, it's good to read some historical accounts of the era before reading it.
Sharpscript holds immense promise as a Lisp-based scripting language. While it may not have the extensive libraries and community support of some established languages, its unique blend of Lisp's elegance and scripting's practicality makes it a compelling choice for developers looking to explore a new realm of scripting possibilities. I'm eager to see how the language evolves and gains popularity among developers and scripting enthusiasts.
Hey it's me yes, this project covers some of what i go through here. I believe this was a selenium driver implementation. Uses tf-idf for topic modeling (in an unoptimized way I actually have a better implementation locally, and gonna add a top2vec implementation as well).

I started live coding this past month and have gotten some good feedback. Let me know if you have any stream ideas I've pretty much been streaming every day haha.
iPhone 15 pro max costing as much as $2,600, really?

Hmmm.

It would be more accurate to say that they have been more aggressive in preventing third party observers to track CSAM on twitter:

Twitter Failing To Deal With Child Sexual Abuse Material, Says Stanford Internet Observatory (Jun 6, 2023,)

https://www.forbes.com/sites/emmawoollacott/2023/06/06/twitt...

* Researchers at the Stanford Internet Observatory say the company failed to deal with 40 items of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) over a period of two months between March and May this year.

* Research such as this is about to become far harder—or at any rate far more expensive—following Elon Musk’s decision to start charging $42,000 per month for its previously free API.
So will this one finally have USB-C charging port, allowing me to buy the phone without retrofitting my home/car/office/parents home with special charging cables just so I can charge my potential phone the same way I charge my current one?
Do it the same way this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_pillar_of_Delhi is done?

I find it fascinating that the writer uses “aafte” for “after.” Clearly their accent was non-rhotic, which isn’t something we’d have any idea about otherwise.

The first one is for a better incubator for premature babies. The second is in mice and doesnt sound particularly close, as they still required pregnant mice and the embryos die after a certain point because of lack of placenta. Neither of these seems very close to replacing the need for women, but maybe will be closer after 10 more years?
Exactly this. Pimpl idiom is just a bandaid and typically goes against the main benefits of the language.
I just wanted to send you some hope, as someone who understands all too well what it feels like when it doesn’t work. I was close to giving up many times. I don’t want to send you false hope, just some real hope.

Best of luck to you and your wife, and please do reach out if you ever need someone to vent to or to chat with.
Also one of them turned out to be Beto O’Rourke.
Its not about how much it costs, its how much you make. For someone making 10x what I do its the same as choosing between $160 and $260 phone.

To quote my friend: "Things arent expensive, you are just poor"

And the Pro Max is supposed to be milking the most off its target class. They still make non-Pro, non-Max iPhones too.

And honestly I am a bit tired of people asking the same questions every time, now almost reduced to being rhetorical. Yes, iPhones are more expensive than most phones. Yes, people pay for it, for plethora of reasons. Every year since ~2010 called and want their question back.

I’m not sure if that is a joke or not. I doubt you’ll get an academic conference to form around the topic.
I can't really understand this take. Compilation times are tiny in most projects and manageable in the large ones. It's perfectly parallel and modules and other improvements reduce it by another order of magnitude.
I know exactly what you mean. At work people constantly ask me what keys do what and the moment they do my mind goes completely blank. To the point that I even forgot how to use vim for a short while until the conscious part of my brain is preoccupied with something else and suddenly I can use vim again.
Interesting. As someone who lives between Vancouver and California, I can tell them apart quite easily.
In my opinion that is underestimating the tidal wave of coordinated hate that seems to be on display in the era of twitter. Everyone dies eventually and a lot of us make peace with that, but human minds aren't built to be able to deal with being continuously insulted and abused publicly.

There are tons of sites that do this for ad revenue. Doesn't help that MS is shitty about documenting this stuff.

But for anyone interested, check out the windows internals books, even though they cover a userspace centric view.

MS isn't google friendly unless it is a "public" api/dll they don't mind devs relying on. Even when they do have a doc it tends to have scant details. With opensource you have mailing lists, github issues, code, peope ranting about it on their blog or forum.
