> A good example or problem with degrowth is proclamation that things like planes won’t be possible. Aviation is 2% of emissions.

Aviation came with oil, it will disappear with oil. It's not a problem of emissions per se, it's a problem of energy. Fossil fuels are not unlimited and we don't know how to completely replace them.

> The big ones are things like heating and cooling

We need to work hard on building isolation, obviously. And people need to live in smaller habitations.

> and transportation

We need more trains

> Hydrogen or liquid fuels should work, both produced from green energy.

Same thing: if you look at the numbers, we won't have enough green energy to produce enough hydrogen for aviation, even if technically we can make planes fly with hydrogen. We will have to choose where we use our hydrogen: for planes, or for steel and agriculture?

> But it won’t work if impose suffering on people.

Yep, we need to teach people and hope they accept to do what's needed to survive.

> Or do things that don’t work or don’t help.

Totally agreed here. Hoping for anything short of degrowth doesn't help. We need everything PLUS degrowth. And still, it will be hard because climate is already pretty messed up (with inertia) and biodiversity is looking bad.

"fight". lol. san Francisco is unrivaled for its apathy, hubris and complete lack of social cohesion. It's not a fight. The city has no fight in it.

(Oops misread. you said source code. Perforce.)

Most project I know use perforce to store a few terabytes of art data and the game project.

Another project used Google Drive for the same purpose.

Some groups built entire platforms https://sketchfab.com (Epic Games) or https://github.com/nuxeo-archives/nuxeo-platform-3d (Electronic Arts)

Cesium3D uses 3d tiles and storing the data tables inside of the gltf 3d asset.

Happy with mine with the 35g pro reds, but the real benefit is just being programmable. It has more keys than I need coming from a ferris, but the extra thumb keys give more options for layers. Also the physical number keys make taking down phone numbers while on the phone easier. ZMK can also be built in a github action which makes tweaking the layout easier. Would recommend.
wow. awesome
If you like le Carre, British TV Series "The Sandbaggers" is in a similar vein. I've watched a bunch of episodes on youtube and they are great with a focus on dialog and schemes as opposed to action.

On the other side, I just want to work and get paid. I’m never the type who advertises well so I’d rather work for someone and don’t mind an agency taking a cut.
I read good omens recently, and it seemed full of cliches. I wondered after finishing it, if that's because it came up with a lot of Angel and Demon tropes used in later supernatural stories.
Looks like it could be great for gaming.

I still feel like this banning of plastic cups and straws is an attempt to make me feel guilty for using it. Just like "personal carbon footprint"; trying to blame the climate crisis on regular people.

All the while large companies and a few large boats in international waters are doing the actual polluting.

I don't want to feel guilty anymore and not be able to act upon it.
It's bizarre to me that the big spacebar remains a standard feature on keyboards. It would be better for the thumbs to be able to use e.g. backspace, enter, escape, tab.

And unlike those other features, there's no downside to making the spacebar smaller. (The only thing I can think of is some people press with their right thumb instead of their left; but, a 2U spacebar would cover that).

(I'd still much rather have a keyboard that's symmetrical and ortho; although I can at least understand that traditional layouts have such a stay that it's only enthusiasts who would use keyboards with these features).
I know you said buy - but the public library has a good collection (at least where I live).
I don't recall ever giving one. Of course, the big box stores and Amazon would never presume to do something so outrageous.

I think GLR was the only label for a very long time that did that stuff though.

Partisan. 720 Degrees. Metalheadz, as mentioned in the comment you’re responding to. Moving Shadow. Renegade. Nu-Directions. Nexus.

I don't think there was any easy way to find out about liquid in those days for someone not deeply into the scene.

Goldie literally got into the Top 40 in the UK in 1995 with “Inner City Life,” a track we would today call “liquid.” (The term wasn’t in use at the time.)

Adam F “Circles” was another very big “liquid”-style track from that era.

Sorry to be all “someone on the internet is wrong!!1” but what you’re saying just isn’t accurate.
> People who bought 10 years ago for 200k do not want to sell it for 250k, because they paid more interest, let's say "initial price + interest = 300k" today.

I doubt there are many people who think that way. If they want to sell, the market determines the price so stomping your feet and saying I want 300K just because, isn't going to work.

Second, that's an incorrect calculation anyway. They may have put 300K into it, but they also got 10 years worth of a place to live out of it already, which is a lot of value. So the breakeven price considering the rent they didn't have to pay for 10 years is not the full 300K.
Yes, I have a KDE desktop since years, and there are no breaking changes. It's a stable desktop. KDE4 was a mess, but KDE5 runs really nice. There are still KDEisms, some things don't work as intended, e.g. I don't understand how icon themes work on KDE (can't get rid of some 2-color uglies), but overall I'm really happy with it.
Show HN: Ulitza – street names worldwide
I wanted to know what the most popular street names in my country were. Who were all those men and women I saw everywhere on street signs, some of which quite popular, some I've never even heard of before. Eventually, out of curiosity, I've extended my search to my neighbouring countries and, finally, to all the countries in the world.

I've analyzed all the street names from OpenStreetMap (osm) and kept only those named after a person (eponyms). For each country in turn I've sorted the names by their frequency and I've added wikipedia links to them.

The osm data is not consistent from country to country and there is no clear separation between names of streets, bridges, squares, public buildings or any other similar landmarks. As a result, all such landmarks are taken into consideration, as long as they are eponyms. So "street names" was a bit of a useful lie to get you this far.

I've sometimes also included the names of fictional characters, or a group of people if those are well-known or important from a historical point of view.

To avoid duplicate entries, there is only one name allowed per city. Affixes like "street", "boulevard", "square" and similar ones, are removed. If more than one name refers to the same person, they are considered equivalent and are not counted more than once.

Besides the per-country eponyms frequency, having all this data allows for an extra piece of information. Who are the persons appearing most often around the world? The front page presents just that. Every count besides every name is clickable and lists the name of countries where that name appears in.

I played a lot of tournament bridge from childhood through college and then stopped (I’m now 32).

For me, the two big reasons I quit were (1) the rating system, and (2) finding a partner.

For the rating system, it’s just not competitive. Master points don’t necessarily mean anything. If you have a lot, it means you’ve played a lot - maybe they at least mean that. You could play for 50 years and easily become a life master but be complete garbage compared to the kid who did it in a month or two. There’s no information to understand how successful you actually are minus what you alone know about yourself and your game. It’s just not as fun, especially once I started to play games that make success extremely evident via stats / ranking.

Bridge is very unique in needing a partner to play with and one that you understand quite well. I once played with one of the best players in the world as a 16 year old (literally, one of the “best” at least master point wise). We did terrible lol. I didn’t know what he was doing and he couldn’t stoop down to my level all too well. How do you find the right partner? Not really sure. Again, I think it’s actually a cool part of the game, adds a unique social element and togetherness to it but it does make getting plugged into it harder.

8K TVs not being produced until they can meet efficiency standards and win consumers over as an actual improvement on 4K seems like a pretty good outcome, honestly.
They started consulting and eventually build products that they sell to the organizations they consulted for. One did consulting for public sector authorization management and eventually build a ReBAC API to put on top of the myrirad of API's that the public sector in Denmark operates, so that IDM became much, much easier. Another started as a RPA (robot process automation) trainer who worked together with the business side of the whole concept and was their go-to for technical training whenever they sold a "package" to organizations. Now owns a 50+ person company that is full of consultants that did what he once did.

I guess the latter isn't really an IC anymore, but I know he didn't plan for things to happen this way. It started with him just being an IC and then eventually when he had too much work he had one of his friends join him, and so on.
> Here’s one of this year’s dozen new Rust GUIs.

Right. On the game engine side, there's the comment that Rust has 50 game engines and 5 games. A new GUI framework might not be what's needed.

I'd like to see some of the most used ones get finished. I'm waiting for the six-month WGPU overhaul to finish to unblock the Rend3 overhaul so I can use a newer version of egui. Egui botches layout if there's a line wrap in a scrollable window, for example. Basic stuff like that is broken.
There are a lot of queries where it insists that the results come from common websites like Reddit or major media outlets. Smaller websites don't show up even if they have more relevant content.

There others where the results are all SEO content marketing spam.

The thing it rarely seems capable of doing now is showing legitimate non-spam content from smaller websites.

It also used to be possible when you were looking for a specific web page you've already seen, to type in a bunch of terms that you know are on that page and then it comes right up because it's the one page with all of those terms together. That doesn't seem to work anymore.
May I see an example of this? If it's a dupe, but not killed, there is a likely chance someone vouched for it.
"perf", as my friends call it, is stupid. I've been doing this software thing for about 9 years now and have gotten variously and in no particular order: "[x] is my right-hand man", "meets", "exceeds", been promoted, gotten "partially meets" (which is typically a death sentence, though I managed to contravene fate in that instance...), etc.

I've never, ever felt like my performance designation actually matched reality, and this has spanned three companies so far.

When I got promoted, it was because I cut my hair (the owner was a very stodgy boomer-type person). When I got "partially meets", it was because I had been put on an impossible project and my pleas of "this is literally impossible in the time given, it will minimally take X+3mo" were apparently not communicated upwards and the project missing was taken personally by my manager-of-manager-of-managers who apparently ensured I was given that designation. I've gotten "exceeds" when I've known I was slow (because I had a 2-month-old and the US gives far too little parental leave), and gotten "meets" when I smashed things out of the park.

All of this extends to my peers I've known well. One of the best engineers I've known was managed out of the company outside of a performance cycle because he was a bit of a grumpy-type person (but not in a way that I minded at all, I found him pretty endearing).

I don't really know how to fix the system, especially since as an IC I'm kept blind to most of its inner workings and even my EMs have not had the full story.

The most I've managed to synthesize is:

- I like it best when my direct manager has >80% of the control over my final designation. They know my work best, and when there is little meddling from above (there is ALWAYS meddling from above, of course), this seems to work out best.

- Even with above, perf is mostly bullshit politics. It hardly matters what your actual work is like - if people like you, as long as you're marginally useful, you're probably going to be retained; if people don't like you, you're going to be hard-pressed to get promoted or not be the first one canned if things turn down slightly. Reality is highly malleable and people will craft whatever narratives they need to to get the things they want done.

The second bullet is also a self-fulfilling prophecy. If people like you, you'll get more work and the work you get will be more impactful. If people don't like you, people won't mind setting you to the annoying thankless tasks.

I think I want my next job to be a very small team. I've worked at 10k people orgs and 50-100 person orgs, but never one with <10 engineers. I wonder what it would be like to be in an org where everyone ~knows how everyone else's perf is going. I can typically identify when someone's going to be in hot water, but only if I'm close enough to their work.
Just do it and don't look back. The night I ordered the Glove80, I almost bought an Alice in Amazon but I got the one I really want. Half measures might have given me buyers remorse.

I don't have an example query ready for you. I'll often see the problem when I include error messages, media titles, or model numbers in my searches, none of which have synonyms. Google will arbitrarily ignore at least one term, often silently.

I don't take issue with spellcheck or even synonym suggestions, FWIW. It's that the results which include/are relevant to specifically requested terms appear below results that don't/aren't, sometimes way below. It hasn't always been this way but I can't pinpoint when results started getting worse.
Oh, I have a nice contribution to your comment! I use some taxi apps (very infrequently), and sometimes I need to call it for someone else, not in my current location. Sometimes there is a promotion catch with, say, 20% discount. Which is applicable only for a personal ride (e.g. from your location), but if you ask a taxi to bring someone to you (e.g. from other location to your location), well, then sorry, not applicable. I used to trick the app but faking my location on my Android with gps-fake app (don’t remember the name, mine was from f-droid). I bet taxi services are not happy about that kind of a customer. Giving it some thought: still a returning customer. Sometimes it’s not just the money thing for me, but the challenge of whether the algorithm could be tricked.
> But if you live in the house, then just considering appreciation and expenses leaves out a huge benefit

Indeed. If you bought a house stricly as a speculative asset and neither live in it nor rent it, it's a terrible investement.

But since you can live in it, the equation changes completely. You can't live in a stock certificate and you have to live somewhere. If you could live for free somewhere (e.g. with parents) then sure, invest in the market and don't buy a house.

I use the Moonlander with a layout that doesn't deviate much from the standard Mac keyboard. Even though I sacrifice a little bit of single keypress magics that I can do on my Moonlander, it enables me to switch more easily to my laptop keyboard on the go.

“I’d woken up early, and I took a long time getting ready to exist.” - Pessoa
It's actually the most Pessoa-like read in the Saramago canon. I don't read much fiction these days, but the last decade has seen me dig into my own roots with Portuguese authors, of which many seem to harbor similar ambitions of magical realism if not outright strangeness anchored in the mundane.

Saramago, Antunes, Brandao, Espanca...all interesting stuff.

Kagi provides you with a key that you can use instead of normal login if you cannot login for any reason ( i.e Cooperate Machines). Also I don't think this is really a friction. Login will take a much less time than going through the google spam and SEO results (for one query)
Oh, do you mind elaborating on this? I’m looking for a way to organise my PC with similar approach. I thought of minimal Arch Linux installation as a host, and macOS (or Windows for very special cases) on top, when I need those GUI apps that aren’t present in Linux. I see no need to keep Linux apps in a VM.
> I’m actually skeptical of some of the claims, particularly in regards to ortholinear/column stagger key arrangements. In particular I feel like this actually makes the layout worse in some situations. For example, consider the `in` bigram in qwerty.

In different arrangements of keys, some words will be easier to type than others (and some will be more difficult).

e.g. Comparing Dvorak and qwerty. -- With the example 'in', both of these letters are on home row on Dvorak, whereas both letters require reaching with the fingers on qwerty.

I don't think it's worth putting strong weight on any one example.

I'd point to the distances between (on a typical keyboard); between FT should be the same as JY; and between FB should be the same as JN. -- But on the traditional row stagger, these distances are absurdly different.

I find it hard to believe that the best arrangement of alphabetical keys would be asymmetrical.
Does this mean that GNOME extensions will now have npm dependencies? If not, what's the advantage of "following the industry standard" here? Do GNOME extensions share common code with web apps?
