In a dry climate like Egypt you actually more often use evaporative coolers or “swamp coolers”. They generate cool air with way less energy than compressor driven AC. They humidify rather than dehumidify but not enough for discomfort. You use them with open windows to prevent humidity from building up, so an outdoor application perhaps under shade is a logical extension.
We only need to look at nature to see that everything dies. It is natural, and necessary.

I am not in any way saying that people should be euthanized or disease not treated or that people not live out their natural lives. But artificial extension of life will only result in those who can afford it staying in power forever.
> Apple never supported PWAs.

That's not really correct. "PWAs" actually just describe a suite of APIs, most of which Apple supports: https://firt.dev/notes/pwa-ios/.

The biggest "missing link" has been support for push notifications, which iOS 16.4 added: https://www.theverge.com/2023/2/16/23603042/apple-push-notif...

Do the skills actually transfer? If your goal is to learn assembly and/or how a computer executes code, you can probably learn that more directly by spending an afternoon on godbolt. If your goal is to learn computer security, I'm not sure there's really much transfer to be had here. Most of the interesting computer security things to know are at a much higher elevation now.

Many of these will simply not compile without explicitly disabling a compiler warning, and except in rare cases, the rop challenges are impossible.

I'm just commenting on what a huge win I feel it is for the software industry that in the past 15 years these went from "copy the binary to your local machine and it works exactly the same, gcc doesn't even warn about this" to "it doesn't realistically have this vulnerability when run on your machine, nor will it build from source on your machine."

edit: wikipedia is claiming linux has had ASLR since 2005 so maybe I'm wrong.
.50 SLAP out of a Barret should work quite well, right? Someone should make a new version of Footfall without all the fudd lore.
Probably because AC is newer. Home heating has been seen as a necessity for generations, so most people have had it, while there are still plenty of people who lived without AC for large chunks of their life.

Plus there's the San Francisco factor. AC is simply not necessary there most of the time for most people. Even when it is hot, it is usually hot/dry, and tends to cool down at night. Thus there are many people here who think AC is a needless luxury everywhere because they personally do not need it.
Maybe you are unaware, that both purchase and operation of AC takes money, and in some places people don't have a lot of that.

You are not selling unions very well: why would I want mandatory time off? If I want time off I will take it, my coworkers taking or not taking it does not concern me a single bit. More so, being forced to take time off is not a benefit for me, at my current work there is no PTO accrual so I feel forced to take time off and it's not ideal, other benefits are good enough to outweigh this but with everything equal I'd choose some place where I could cash out time off over the one where I can accumulate multiple months of time off over the one where I have to use-it-or-lose-it.

There are many such policies in a union, ask anybody who is a member of one and nobody is happy with all the policies of the union. Not to mention people who want to start a career and cannot even join the union (hello SAG) and cannot get a job because they are not in the union.
I suspect it's just a sloppy comic.

Outdoors like that you'll usually encounter large evaporative coolers which are basically a blower combined with water mister. If it's hot and dry, the mist vanishes by the time the air reaches you, but the air is cooler.

Because it doesn't make sense that it's part of the web share functionality to begin with.

The native share dialog is about "I have this piece of content, now share it with one of these other apps", e.g. saving a document locally, or sending it with AirDrop, or saving to Google Drive, or sending as an email attachment, etc.

Installing a site as an app on your homescreen has absolutely nothing to do with sharing content to begin with.
Didn't you just provide the Grand Parents point?

The unions are not the solution? That in fact unions make no difference at all in many situations and it is rather under underlying economic conditions that matter more.

Unions may be able to curb some systemic abuse for a limited time, in limited circumstances, but market forces will always win the war.

As such it best to look for foundational economics not magical unions to solve economic inequality.
> "...seniority benefits/protections would be huge for our industry as there is a lot of rampant ageism and young naive work alcoholics."

Already trying to lock out the young, energetic, and ambitious using seniority systems? At least you're honest about it.

If you're young and you're considering supporting unionization for developers, keep in mind that people like the parent poster are your future seniors. They're marketing unionization to you to secure their own jobs (which developers who are at least average shouldn't even need to worry about) and then maybe yours as a secondary consideration.

[EDIT] I came across an example of the layoff selection process for SPEEA, a union of aerospace engineers, from https://m.kuow.org/stories/boeing-layoffs

"At SPEEA, the process is different. Engineers are assigned a ranking by their managers based on their perception of their ability.

One is the top rank, 3 is the lowest: new workers are a 3. When there are layoffs, 3s go first. An engineer must work 20 years before they are at least partially shielded from the ranking system. At 20 years, an engineer ranked a 3 gets bumped to a 2. As cuts get deeper they push into the higher ranks."

Can't say I'm too enthused about long-termers getting partially shielded from ranking since some of them are likely to be deadwood.
Oh I get it. You tax emissions with no way to lower the tax besides lowering emissions. That means there's an underlying accounting for carbon, but like you said there's not something like market or exchange. So in this model air travel for example would 2x in price, but 1x of that would go towards the carbon tax which is then redistributed to everyone. Sounds interesting, are there any particular strengths or weaknesses to this model?
Languages like C# and Java have always required a lot of boilerplate and repetitive (sorry, "patterned") code. They are perfectly suited to GPTs.

>If employers really wanted employees to abandon remote work, that would be obviously visible as a significant difference in remuneration.

"We've tried nothing and we're out of options".

I'm sure they do have preferences, but they don't care enough to put work into the solution. so, bringing people back into office isn't worth a 20% raise in this case. But that's not surprising; nothing seems to be worth a raise compared to hiring and re-training new employees. As companies have long since abandoned retention.

"In the summer of 1968, a friend and I went to see the blockbuster movie of the year—2001: A Space Odyssey."

So did I, and in the same year—1968. And I went with a friend from uni to see the movie. The next day the physics prac teacher spent much of the lesson whingeing that our behavior was unacceptable and that he did not expect to have to lecture to an empty class. The film had a profound effect on many of us and I still reckon it's the greatest science fiction film ever made.

Even as a kid I liked classical music having been brought up in a household where it was the norm—both my parents appreciated classical music. Nevertheless, 2001: A Space Odyssey was the first time I had heard Strauss' Also Sprach Zarathustra. Frankly, it blew me away when I heard it in the film. Kubrick, couldn't have found a more appropriate piece, its selection was absolute genius.

Funny isn't it, some years later I was involved in setting up a listener-sponsored classical music FM radio station.

That said, I no longer consider myself as being normal—at least when it comes to music. I've tried to get interested in much of the mainstream rock and popular music and much of it does nothing for me. I simply cannot understand why I like classical music and why so many others have no interest in it at all. Except for a tiny percentage of oddballs like me, classical music is essentially dead.

I feel like a dinosaur, a throwback from another era.
The solution is to not be biased against AC. It fits extremely well with peak generation from solar power plants. The opposite is happening for heating in winter.

>For example, we enlarged windows and doors, to the point were, standing behind one that's been cooking in the sun for a couple of hours, you feel the radiant heat a meter away from it.

There are window films that can block most of the light in frequencies which carries the energy and let the light from visible spectrum in, barely dimming the brightness and almost doesn't change the color.

I recently installed such a filter, I'm amazed everyday how the hot bright sun is so tamed once inside the house. Sometimes I open a window to let the full spectrum in just so I can put my feet on the spot of the unfiltered light and then on the filtered one and compare how hot it gets where the sun shines in full power and can barely heat once filtered. It feels like magic, like a winter sun that is bright but doesn't heat. The filter itself heats up like crazy, it even gets too hot to touch but heat transfer by convection doesn't do much.

My grandma lives in an old house built with thick stone walls with tiny windows. It stays naturally cool but I really like large windows. IMHO, the humanity has advanced enough to have large windows and still keep it cool. It's also good for the mood, some people like me really really like the sun and even the heat up to a point.
For windflow it is also important to orient doors and windows so that there are direct paths for wind through the space. In a multistory house, an attic window so that hot air rises out the house.

The modern American house usually lacks such thought.

Every screenwriter I've ever heard of says there are three things to do to learn to write screenplays: watch movies, read screenplays, write screenplays. That doesn't mean you'll succeed; it's just that without doing those three things, you won't succeed. I'd say Tarantino working at a video store made one leg of that tripod pretty easy. (He also says he learned a lot about screenwriting by taking acting lessons.)

Well, obviously all the features that are available to PWAs are available in browsers - a browser is the thing that executes a PWA to begin with.

It basically is just a difference in use case and how most people thing about "apps" vs. "websites". If I have a long term relationship with a business, and I access its functionality frequently, I'd rather have it as an app on my homescreen.

kragen's recent HN comment is a gold mine:

API misuses is one thing, the more concerning outcome is the misuse of AI itself.

Just like how there is "common misuse pattern of x language", there is also "common misuse of copilot/chatgpt4".

From my observation, those who are successful with code generation tools are using it as an assistant, they already know the language quite well, AI is there just to help, most of the code are boilerplate code or common patterns.

Those who complaint are usually using it to do more than just that, relying it to generate working piece of code for a particular function without knowledge of the language. Currently, we use StackOverflow for this purpose, when we asked question, we don't just say, "hey, code please" but we are trying to understand why and how things work instead. This knowledge will then help us to code contextually, which current AIs are incapable of. The plus side is that code generation is faster.

Also the point of the paper is not to prove that GPT-4 is unusable but that it can be further improve. They didn't just manually determine misuses but did it via an API checker that they designed. So, in the future, AIs are just going to be more reliable not less.

We are not at a point that AI is common enough to talk about misuse yet though, most don't even have access to CoPilot or ChatGPT 4.

Eh, I haven’t looked this up for Highland Park specifically, but I’m familiar with a number of other enclave cities in Texas with similar demographics, and the property tax rate is lower because the property values are so much higher.

Plus rather than providing services over a couple hundred square miles, the enclave cities provide services to a compact area comprising a handful of square miles.

No one is living in Highland Park to dodge taxes.

Capitalism has lifted billions out of poverty. It is not a zero sum game. People will invent new things and new industries. There are infinite possibilities to discover and all of those are new products and services and experiences to build.

All the commodities humans need for huge increases in per capita wealth are plentiful throughout the universe. NASA wants to explore an asteroid that just by itself is worth $10 quintillion because of all the precious metals in it. That isn’t even the biggest one discovered. There are going to be endless asteroids and entire planets like these.

And there will be endless planets that can be settled and colonized and terraformed.

Obvious one to me is arbitrary complexity: You can't do "A or (B and C)"

But even without such a complex use case, you have to consider multi-valued fields where a single search result can have two or more values. For example "charging method" for phones - if one supports both "usb-c" and "wireless", does selecting both of those filters mean AND or OR? (You could add a toggle for it, sure, but this is just a simple example that's easily missed, for example on Amazon)
