> Originally taken from Chinese sources, these are still well-known around East Asia.

> The names were also originally taken from China, but they did not always match up well with the local climate. In Japan, they were eventually rewritten in 1685 by the court astronomer Shibukawa Shunkai.

Japan did import A LOT of cultural things from the ancient Huaxia civilization (which makes sense, as they were pretty close geographically), and they're usually pretty clear about that.

I do think it would be hard to trace back to the first person who discovered "seasons" though...
Anyone remember the Silicon Valley episode on "Ruinous Empathy?" I think that ep sums it up tidily, frankly.

Empathy is important. Sure, too much of it, like anything else is bad. But not showing it at all is worse.
But Prop 13 DID go away. Two years ago when Californians voted for Prop 19. (Prop 19 won by a 1% margin). Now we're seeing people kicked out of their homes... whole apartment buildings being evicted.... rental homes going OFF the rental market. Yes, it's happening.
Ah, the award made by the a former editor-in-chief of the Journal of Irreproducible Results and organized by the scientific humor magazine; Their moto is cool, makes you laugh then makes you think.

I often hear this apocalyptic outlook and I wonder how probable it is.. people speak of it as if it is a certainty but I am not entirely convinced. Can someone point me in either direction?

Sure, $8 by itself isn’t much, but when everything costs $8/mo it starts to add up.

I just had similar sticker shock recently to the remote access service for Home Assistant, which is $6.50/mo. You still have to host and maintain HA locally, the service just allows you to easily access it remotely.

Or Kagi Search, which charges $25/mo for unlimited searches.

For me, if it’s more than $5/mo it better be something I really need.
"Freedom of speech" does not simply refer to the 1st amendment - the concept has existed much longer than the USA has. I don't think GP is arguing that shadowbanned users have a "right" to use HN, instead they're saying that it is somewhat unethical because it is a form of lying.

As for shadowbanning being a key tool in managing a community - In HN's case, I imagine any shadowbanning system could be easily defeated, as a malicious actor could create a new account for every comment.
It has nothing to do with money or shareholders for that matter. As long as people have a say in what they want, they are going to push for creature comforts that damage the environment.

Pick the country most hostile towards capitalism/shareholders, and you’ll still be looking at a polluter and contributor to climate change.

The cartoon could just as easily be rewritten to “for a beautiful moment in time we let people have lots of autonomy in how they wanted to live”.
It’s funny to see both you and GP having exactly opposite beliefs, but you’ve both likely done the exact same amount to prevent climate change.
> I can’t make the needle move much even if I spend my life doing it. I’m just not in a position of power large enough to steer capitalism itself on a global scale.

Steering things on a global scale shouldn’t be the goal to begin with at the individual level. This isn’t the needle individuals need to try to move.

You absolutely can make a difference though. Change starts with you and me. And then the people around us. The way we choose to spend our money. By getting involved in our local governments. By supporting organizations that take action. By volunteering to take action.

Every movement starts with an individual. Every massive human endeavor has required the collective effort of many individuals, and this is no different.

Bringing me back. There was another program I used to use on my penryn MacBook pro of the era. Refit I think but maybe older.
Can the down voters explain themselves? I genuinely want to hear more discussion on both sides, and this commenter has provided some interesting points..
I was working on a todo app for Android over a decade ago and it was very simple. The only gimmick was that it tried to replicate the satisfaction of crossing off a to do list item with pen and paper. Not checking it as done, clicking anticlimactically on a bubble next to the name, but running a line through it with extreme prejudice and satisfaction. Specifically, you were supposed to run your finger across it and it would be sliced in half with haptic and audio feedback.

Because that’s the point of to do lists: to empty them. And giving a satisfying experience of completing an item seemed to me the best way to encourage that.

I never finished it. I stick with pen and paper these days because it’s my opinion that a to do list should not survive the day it is written. Anything longer lived is not a to do list, but a list of goals or obligations. A slip of paper with hand scrawled tasks, easily lost, reinforces that. It’s funny to me, in fact, that I can write out a todo list faster than I can type (via phone keyboard) or dictate it. Modern tech is still so slow.

Anyway, anyone please feel free to steal the gimmick if it fits into your project. I’m sure some app out there already has.
Perhaps I'm off base (I'm not an expert in this area), but I recall reading that one of the major challenges with Lambda was the latency that initializing the network stack introduces. Perhaps that's been solved by now, but my naive idea is to have the guest not really run it's own network stack (at least the MAC/IP portion of it) and instead delegate the entire stack (IP and all) to the virtual device, which can be implemented by Firecracker/QEMU/whatever. I guess at that point, the amount of mangling you'd need to do to the kernel probably isn't worth it and you should just use Gvisor... ah oh well.

Regardless, I'm still surprised microkernels aren't more popular in this space, but perhaps the losing the ecosystem of Linux libs/applications is a non-starter.

Even if the idea wasn't fruitful, the conversation was fun. Thanks for engaging and challenging my bad ideas!

Edit: I've also realized I was thinking of Unikernels, not microkernels and I've been calling it the wrong thing all night. *sigh*
Ah yeah I guess it’s true they don’t have permission. At the end of the day I think it comes down to the owner choosing to press charges or not, or even detecting it and subsequently reporting it. I would guess that if the systems have ways to be hacked, the owners likely won’t see the hacks until the white/grey hat reports it to them.

Somewhat related, the hackers submitting a vulnerability disclosure to the companies are in a very “extortion-y” dynamic. I wonder how often companies get something like “pay us X amount or we let the world know today instead of waiting for you to fix it”.

You still have two votes: with your wallet, and with your ballot.

Think back to the times of slavery. You could've said: "I don't own any slaves, so there's nothing I can do". In the end, we did the right thing, but unfortunately after much human suffering. Hopefully we don't wait even longer this time around. There were many things you could've done to help. You could've avoided buying from places that used slave labor. You could've voted for abolitionists. You could've donated to the cause. You could've stood for justice when serving on a jury. You could've convinced your friends that things had to change.

You as an individual may be individually directly responsible for a small amount, but you are probably responsible for a greater than average amount. The little changes that you make will make a bigger difference than most people's. You can also be indirectly responsible for a much greater amount. Talking to your friends about the environment can have a greater effect than you acting alone. People don't realize just how much better EVs are, induction stoves are, heat pumps are, solar panels are, etc, if they haven't heard the benefits. Help to open their eyes.

Your vote also likely controls a far greater amount than you are giving it credit for. Margins of victory are often small, and a few people thinking of the medium and long term can make a big difference.

>>The researchers sampled 39 brands of
straws made of paper, bamboo, glass,
stainless steel and plastic. Of those, 27
were found to contain PFAS, though
the concentrations were low.

So basically nothing new. I was actually surprised they didn't find tons of pfas in paper straws as those stuff are lined with waterproof coating. On a tangent, paper straws are a symbol of everything that's wrong with current climate politics; we have to deal with inferior products, while the actual corporations responsible are free to act with impunity. All these edicts banning stuff such as plastic straws are passed on high from the ivory towers of conventions filled with politicians and successful businessman, flown in on private jets and driven the last mile in photogenic electric cars, to talk about what the lower classes do and do not deserve to have.
I take it more of a “F off” than a “k.”. Doesn’t give me a great impression of the company
Unfortunately the practical answer is probably both. We've collectively f*cked up by failing to curtail emissions more quickly. The only path forward now is to continue to move to carbon neutral fuel sources as quickly as possible while using geoengineering to buy ourselves time.

Unfortunately, if we successfully pause global warming via geoengineering, my bet is that'll give us the excuse to slow down or stop CO2 emission curtailment, and that way lies disaster as oceans acidify and food chains fall apart.
There are probably hundreds, if not thousands of SQLite databases running on every Apple device out there.

One twitter-famous Core Data/SQLite engineer's bio on Twitter used to read "Over one trillion databases served", or something to that effect.
We have to get rid of it and build a different society.

Who are “we”? And what exactly are you asking “us” to do?
I was going to say the same. And yes - it causes OCD in 90% of devs out there. But it also feels somewhat wrong for editors to match brackets to infer block hierarchy. What if blocks have some sane rule that we don't know yet (i.e other than bracketed blocks and indented blocks)? Perhaps treesitter is the one-stop solution for that problem.
Ruminants would do well on most wild growth. In Australia they are pretty much let loose in semi-arid vegetation and then rounded up and sent to feedlots at end of life. They may not do well in a drought or flood, but that's already the case as they are often die on stations in extreme weather events. Plenty of wild pigs and sheep around to suggest they'd do okay without humans, but maybe not to the same flourishing.
I tried iCloud Drive and didn't mind it. I ended up moving to Sync, though, because 1) it's end-to-end encrypted and 2) I can sync any directory, not just subdirectories of iCloud Drive.
Can you explain? I didn't even know Romans thought about etymologies.
I wonder how many people have pensions, 401ks or significant wealth in an s&p etf saw this comic and thought “oh those silly shareholders, why are they so evil”
I liked ghacks before Martin sold out. Now its just spam.
I'm curious if bamboo/wood plates/bowls/cooking utensils (spatula, ladles) also have PFAS.
I disagree. Engineers will typically stick to the mathematical meaning of unlimited but I think there is *always* an unspoken social contract behind the word: be nice.

For example, if I sign up for "unlimited cloud storage", I take it to mean, backing up all my personal stuff, no matter how large it grows. If I have the world's largest collection of digitized rocks in 8K Raw and it takes up 2 million terabytes...well I think I'm being disingenous by using the unlimited storage.

Or for example, if a friend says "use my car any time you want"...will you really just steal his car and ship it to another country?

I mean...nothing in this world is unlimited for real. And I think it makes sense to say unlimited to mean: you can use as much as you like, but be nice.
Why do you think they aren't doing 1 and/or 2 currently?
I believe the order of operations you are performing is different than what is reflected in the title.
They come with a finely tuned monetization system built in and are very profitable
Guess we have opposite problems. Most places around me are quiet and I want something inbetwee a library and a night club. Just a semi-social place to make friends.

Sadly the internet polarizes that as well. Sometimes Discord is the only place for smaller kinds of media. otherwise you have ghost towns of forums where maybe you get one response back when talking about a certain work. Usually none
absolutely. It's a design feature.
We had a meeting recently looking over an internal PR.

I suggested that maybe the best idea was to do something else, but it was going to be more complex, but better in the long run.

After I realized how complex it was going to be, I suggested that maybe the PR implementation was the best idea for now.

This is the definition of the moral of "Don't let the perfect be the enemy of good".

Oh, and btw... long-standing corporations are STILL enjoying the benefits of prop 13, since their property never changes hands, unlike residential properties. When that issue was on the ballot a few years ago, big businesses dumped a lot of money into marketing to convince us little voters that if businesses' property taxes went up -- all of us would be hurt. So us Calif. voters gave them a pass.

But now, with Prop 19, which big real estate company mucky mucks poured millions of $$ into marketing (they want to sell more properties), the working class and retired folks are getting kicked in the teeth, losing their homes.

That tax program for seniors, to defer prop. tax.... it only lasts each year until it runs out of money. So I don't think that's a sure fire solution for a lot of seniors.
I enjoyed the read, but I'm suspicious of the mention of Tucker Carlson as some sort of champion.
The problem is that since reddit has places for both where it's entirely appropriate to act in specific ways, them both being on the same site often leads to it leaking from one area to another to poor effect.

Useful and/or somewhat serious subreddit can have submissions derailed and useful content buried by meme comments, and meme subreddit can have someone be too serious and upset or disheartened when people don't engage on what they see as an important or cool thing (or not even that people don't engage, but that any discussion is derailed by the community as a norm).

It's great that I can go to one place for almost anything (kind of, they're getting a little pushy and scummy with the monetization), but sometimes the community is also a downside.
Could you explain the five basic plots?

While the number of plot structures are fairly countable, a plot can still be considered different by changing part of its contents (character, setting, etc.). The decision on whether a plot outright infringes on an existing plot varies case-by-case. An example of outright copying is "Fistful of Dollars" directed by Sergio Leone, which lifts the plot from "Yojinbo" by Akira Kurosawa.
The next few years are going to be interesting for sure when it comes to China. The country is starting to split at the seams but it is not getting as much attention as one would think it should. These are the fruits of Communism, nothing good ever comes from it. Just like the Soviet Union collapsed, China will follow. What is the unknown is how it comes about, through revolution or WW. I believe at some point in the next few years there will be a war over Taiwan. What puzzles me is why the West is dragging it's feet in helping Ukraine send Russia packing. Are they waiting for a War on two fronts, Because that is what they are going to get if they don't hurry up and do what they have to with helping Ukraine.
I sometimes think that everything we discuss here is so much smaller when compared to global warming. But I am a believer in human ingenuity and think there will be a solution before things get too dire.
Art teachers also have people copy existing art upside down, or turn their still life upside down (if possible). By trying to reproduce something upside down, your brain doesn't do as much pre-processing and chunking into preconceived shapes, and you're forced to actually look at the shape of the thing.
This kind of rhetoric is alarmist and counterproductive. It effectively gives one a free pass to do nothing. After all, if you already believe the earth is doomed, what's the point in trying?

Bluntly, your little prognostication, here, is based on nothing. Is 2023 a wicked outlier in the global climate? Absolutely. Is global warming continuing to progress as humanity fails to move quickly enough to change our ways? Absolutely.

But this is one year. A single data point. It's absurd to come to such an extreme conclusion based on a single year of (admittedly very scary) data.

If anything, I'm hoping this year will serve as a wake-up call for more people who might've previously been on the fence about the nature and severity of climate change, and will thus accelerate moves by people and their governments to do more about it.

Greyhats may or may not have malicious intent. They don’t play by anyone’s rules but their own.
Our current path is very bad news for ecosystems, bad news for the poor, and an inconvenience for wealthy countries.
I haven't heard this particular phrase. There's definitely been a lot of talk about water levels being X metres higher by 2100, or worldwide average temperatures being X by 2050. What's actually happened is that all prior projections have been found to be underestimated and we're probably already 5 years ahead of where we should be.
I'm surprised `grep` didn't work for finding implementations. Did you find out why? Was it eg searching first-party source code but not crates?
I'm actually trying to objectively compare different stereo cameras, and I've been wondering if there is an "standard" calibration scene.

I've been just looking at the depth maps to try and figure stuff like height accuracy, minimum separation between objects before they blob together, etc, but I'd like to know your thoughts on what a good method of comparison might be.
I'm concluding that I might have ADHD.

The major challenge for me is my attention gets "hung" in a way that I don't fully control. Sometimes it can get hung on a work topic, in which case I absolutely crush the project/feature etc. Other times, it gets hung on something it shouldn't and I can't be productive to save my life.

It also seems to come into play right at the end of a major project. It's very hard to wrap up the little details when I'm mentally ready to move onto the next thing.
Similar to GitHub which I imagine they want to emulate. Sure there are other public code repositories but most people find GitHub good enough to not bother looking at options
At least explain your perspective. How do you view meditation?
People keep comparing it to a human ingesting content throughout their life and then being influenced in their own works. I'm sorry but that is not the same thing - at all.

The concept of training a model with the explicit intent of selling the output of that model is inherently different.

Not saying that it should be illegal. But it is clearly in violation of the spirit of existing copyright law, in my opinion.

They set out with the intent to make money, using copyrighted input. Seems pretty simple.

About String::leak:

> The caller has free choice over the returned lifetime, including 'static. Indeed, this function is ideally used for data that lives for the remainder of the program’s life, as dropping the returned reference will cause a memory leak.

I can see the use case of the function and from reading the commit discussion, it seems it was based on Vec::<u8>::leak() but I'm not able to understand why either of the functions are safe instead of unsafe.
