Police unions are definitely part of the blue omerta.

But the most important factor you didn’t raise is the increasing corporate funding of police [1].

Nice! Is self hosting possible for sensitive use cases or obligations to security rules?
Key point being "sometimes". Demonstration of capability is important because that capability will be tested.

Here's an example: The best way to do this is by constantly waging small wars and battles, which the US has done for decades. Now whether the US can wage a drawn-out war is a different matter; that hasn't been tested in a very long time (and for the record, that worries me).
“I NEED TO SAVE SCREEN REAL ESTATE SO I CAN… CHECKS NOTES… PUT A BUTTON THAT TAKES THE ENTIRE SCREEN”

Yeah. This one always gets me with the whole “moving to the title bar saves screen space”.

The other thing that really grinds my gears today is how many applications steal focus multiple times during launch. The number of people that have accidentally posted passwords in team chats cause of bullshit focus stealing is too damn high!
Housing becoming so incredibly unaffordable in Canada in recent years (average rents in Vancouver for a one bedroom now touching $2700) are making it a very tenuous argument that any engineer working in Canada should be being paid any less than one in a higher cost of living area of the United States.

Vancouver not quite NYC/SF yet, but seems pretty damn expensive compared to many jurisdictions in the USA!
Agreed regarding the variance of the women’s bathroom, I shocked it up to a larger number of women vs men customers in that particular retailer.
I'm wondering, what's the projected circuit breaker that causes the system to collapse and people to change something if we don't do anything before? Crop yields falling? Starvation? Extreme events? Mass migration?
It's climate 'change' not global warming. The effects on the AMOC Jetstream and ice content in the Arctic are causing the polar vortex to collapse this is like a wall that keeps frigid polar air in the Arctic, if that collapses it could actually reverse global warming but not in the way we'd like, we're taking full ice age, where ice covers the earth down to the equator.

Our earth system is fragile, if it weren't we'd see signs of life everywhere, we don't because it's rare and we're likely our own great filter putting resources and immediate comfort over prolonged survival.

The oil Baron's legacy will be that they didn't leave a civilization to remember their legacy.
The majority of men place looks as the primary factor. Even for marriage.

For millions of years women have contributed only child care and house work to the family unit. For millions of years it is only men and the capability to hunt, strategize, use their strength to build shelter and farm that was critical to the survival of the family unit. Feminism and equal occupations is only a very recent phenomenon.

Therefore when it comes to marriage men are biologically inclined to not look at "capability" or intelligence as a big factor. Evolutionarily speaking men are driven primarily by the fertility of the woman and personality as a second factor. Make no mistake, It is fair and just to give women equal rights but our biology is not equipped to fully account for this new reality.

This female dating match maker with years of experience illustrates the preferences for both men utterly clearly:

https://youtu.be/pAF0Ebg48A0?si=SmECgNA0Tsv2Cu0c

Additionally most men cannot date "indefinitely". Statistics show among dating apps women are exclusively dating a small pool of high value men. The majority of men do not get very many matches.

Most of this is evident to most men. There are a few cases where this isn't evident:

1. You are a woman. Women tend not to be aware. This is the most likely scenario.

2. You are a high value man. Therefore you have an abundance of choices. Your reality is therefore different from most men.

3. You are a man and an exception to the rule. You are low value but you still value intelligence over looks. This is the least likely scenario.

It's related to the comment I was replying to:

> Meanwhile, educated people in western countries are incredibly eco-conscious, have excellent modern waste management, have amazing huge national parks and conservation areas, clean waterways or have nets to prevent plastics entering the oceans.. are 'banning' gasoline cars by 2030.. and the air quality! Amazing.

The commenter appears to say that people in western countries are already doing a good job on climate. Even though those people emit way more than people from other countries.
> How often do you lose work because of crashes or not enough undo steps?

Crashes and too few undo steps are not a UI/UX problem, they are a software quality/hardware limitations (enough memory or storage to hold all those steps) problem. Software reliability has definitely gotten better in many aspects, as long-lived software applications and operating systems have been through the crucible of time and learned from their reliability mistakes. But UI/UX is in many aspects worse than ever.

> Also don't forget about all the horrible Java software that didn't use the OS UI.

The article actually says the same thing: 'A few rogue applications didn't play by the rules,...'

> completing the task that you need to complete, and that is easier than ever.

Do me a favour–try getting an older person who has not used Zoom before, to host a meeting and accept guest join requests. You will really understand the sorry state we are in once you see them struggle to do this.

You do realize that coal then gets dug up and burned, right?

Also, have you heard of fracking? It's a blend of the words "cracking" and "fracture" and why is that? Like virtually any geology, there are cracks, through which, for example, gasses, like methane or in this case CO2, can escape. Coal beds also happen to be riddled with fractures and cracks. So even if you don't dig up the coal, "should absorb" is pretty weak for something we would be betting our future on.
> We’ve seen governments around the world not be on the people’s side many time (for UK specially, see brexit)

What do you mean? People voted for Brexit. Boris and his government delivered it. What would you rather like them do, a press release in the lines of "Oh, forget it, it was just one of Nigel's dumb ideas and we were daft enough to ask" after the vote?
It will not solve the problem, but it will help.
China releases more CO2 than the US, EU, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand combined.

The West has become really good at reducing emissions and environmental impact. Yes, a fair portion of that reduction is consuming CO2 intensive products made in China rather than locally, but even taking that into account the developed world is probably still less CO2 producing than the developing world.
Fun fact - this was painted about 8 to 10 years after the abolition of serfdom in the Russian Empire. Coincidentally, it happened two years prior to the US Emancipation Proclamation. I've wondered from time to time how linked the two events were, if at all.
What argument are you trying to make here?

I have over a decade of experience in prosecuting and defending cases under the UCMJ, I have an LL.M. in military criminal justice, I am qualified as a Special Trial Counsel, and I recently served as the Marine Corps Senior Defense Counsel for the National Capital Region.

Let me assure you that military law enforcement has qualified immunity.

It has taken me a least a year to learn the right gesture combination to close apps on iPhone 13. Many operations are very subtle.

However, I seem to be far less bothered by modern usability than some others. My brain is hard wired for novelty it seems. I would not want to use Windows 2000 for example.
TN aims to tackle pandemic learning loss by making some kids repeat third grade
This cycle could be fixed in a few ways. One would be if a few citizens' invested some energy into creating an interesting video/sound clip of what's really happening in court and the news picks up on that. Or it spreads via social media like TikTok. It seems that quite a few people are interested in cops or court drama, and this could demystify the situation and show it for what it really is.
I remember the intense frustration of my first computer of having to select which sound card you had for certain games. Oh sure, your computer did come with sound, but not for this game as your card wasn't on the list of supported cards.
"eating out" in New York does not mean going through a McDonalds drive through, like it does in most of the US.
I can't tell if you're talking about the language designers or users.

For language designers I point out in my other comment that Anders authored both C# and TS. TS' influence on ES6 is documented publicly.. heck TC39 has an open proposal to add type annotations to JS now!

As for users, any dev that touches frontend has to write JS, unless you're purely a mobile or desktop shop (even then, there's electron). So yes, I think tons of folks willingly write C# and JS/TS. I'm certainly one (though write more Python than both these days). Was I an early adopter of async in Python because of my familiarity of it in C#/JS? You bet I was. Maybe I'm "insane."
You just described an engineering curriculum. Understanding your technical field at depth and knowing things like project management, management, business, finances etc.

I wonder if ping could be abused to send short messages for p2p networking over UDP without a central server to handle NAT busting. Looks like someone figured the message part out:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31857419/how-to-send-a-m...

Unfortunately ping is handled by the OS so apps on the peer IPs wouldn't be able to read the messages.

I wonder if it's time to provide hooks to some of these services in user space to make true p2p under double-ended NAT possible. At least a readonly event stream or something. It just feels like the barriers preventing that are entirely artificial now.
I use filters like these:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CB628TNX/

Get cheap mason jars locally wherever, (wal mart is usually cheap, some grocery stores may have cheap ones), grounds in filter, filter in jar, add water, jar goes in fridge. You can also use them to make cold (or hot) brewed iced tea from loose leaves. There are different sizes of those filters for different sizes of jars. I like the 64oz jars.

Pull the filter out when it’s done to avoid overbrewing/oversteeping. Keeps a few days in the fridge.

Recipes (grounds:water ratio, brew time) abound online. Pick one and try it. I like 10-12 hours with something like 80g of grounds, with this method, for a 64oz jar.

I should get a pour spout lid for the jar, that’d never occurred to me and they look nice.

One downside to filtering at the lid instead of in a basket-type filter is that you have to pour it in another container to stop the brew. Whether that matters depends on consumption patterns and personal preference.
This is not true, as subsidizing cars makes suburban and exurban locations cheaper. Significant land use change in this way absolutely contributes to high atmospheric CO2 as well as widespread environmental destruction.
At a previous company, a startup, we made and sold Firewall software which was installed on either Sun hardware (Solaris/SPARC) or Compaq (NT/x86). A sales guy returned from a customer meeting proud to have made a sale. His customer loved the Sun hardware, it was so well put together in those days compared to the “Pee Cee”, but he had only Windows sysadmins.
So our sales guy sold him a Firewall on SPARC hardware running NT, which the company then asked me to deliver. Thanks BillJ, wherever you are.
This is a fair point. Out of curiosity, I went back and looked at the temperatures in my area the year I was born. Our highest temperature of the year was 96F ... on September 24! Let me tell you, if we hit 96F two weeks from now, it'll be front page news and evidence of climate catastrophe.

I think everyone has now fallen into the trap of mixing up weather with climate. We used to deride the deniers who said a cold snap meant global warming was fake, by pointing out that climate and weather are two different things. But more recently we point to every heat wave as evidence of climate change, every cold snap as well -- because 'more energy means more extremes!' Which may be entirely true, but it's hard to deny it looks like trying to have your cake and eat it too.

FWIW, back in 1974, the coldest day of that year was 12F. That would also be considered quite cold today. So that year hit some temperatures in both directions that would be noteworthy today, almost 50 years later.

I once got borderline threatened (the owner of the computer was a lawyer) for changing a PC's screen resolution from 800x600 to 1024x768 (the monitor was a 17" CRT) as part of something else I was sorting out (voluntarily/socially, not as a job).

Needless to say I didn't argue the point, I just got my ass over there and changed it back to 800x600. Luckily(?) I hadn't touched the stack of "toolbars" in the Internet Explorer window...
The separated window menu which is always attached to the top of the screen, is a usability win. It gives you much more leeway to move your mouse and hit the target you're aiming for. See: Fitt's Law.

Try using Cloudflare and having a wildcard subdomain and then letting others CNAME to it.

You cannot do this on Cloudflare without purchasing an Enterprise offering with SaaS features.

It's a very basic thing, allow CNAME to your subdomains... but nope.

So if you want to do this, you cannot use their DNS or Registrar.
Also drive around and you'll find that not all land is created equal. Much of Canada muskeg, tundra, and just awful places to be, which is why no one lives there.

British Columbia looks big on a map, turn on the topographic layer and oops it's all mountain. No wonder everyone lives in a handful of tiny valleys. And oops we flooded tons of the valleys for hydro power too, further driving down the actual available prime land one can live on.

If no one lives in a place there's usually a good reason.
Plot twist: Northern Europe happily kept doing several of its pre-Christian activities. Christianity was superficially conformed to, to avoid repression, but it didn't really supersede as much as add to and slightly change things. For example, while you don't see people actually worshiping the old gods[1], the local version of Easter is filled with the old symbols of fertility, witches, and evil spirits.

[1]: If they ever were ever really "worshiped" in the modern sense, in an animistic belief system.
Depending on where you live, you can get around in NYC just by using the subway for ~$100/month, and it's subsidized by most employers.
This doesn't take into account that countries like the US have already cut emissions and emissions have been declining for years. Meanwhile, China has much greater total emissions than the US does and emissions in China are increasing per year continuously as they are in India. Total global emissions are what matters for the climate. Although reducing waste and being more efficient are always helpful, fixating on lifestyles of people like US citizens is not particularly useful.

Is that really all it takes?
Your link has the Chinese top decile with higher emissions than the EU top decile, so your "what you are saying is simply not true" seems incorrect, their central point of value differences and higher pollution in third world countries seems to stand up well.
Sometimes it might make sense to subsidize an industry that's vital to national interest the way we subsidize corn and many other things.
I think this piece of news here is less than meets the eye.

The contract between USAF and Oklo is probably heavily contingent on various things. One of which, undoubtedly, being that Oklo gets an approval from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). NRC rejected Oklo's application in January 2022 [1]. We are now 1 year and 8 months later, and where's Oklo with regard to their resubmission? Here's where it is [2]

> In 2022, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission requested additional information to resume the application. Oklo has since added additional staff with decades of NRC experience. Oklo has been able to reach resolution of the items identified in the denial and is now preparing for an application readiness review.

So, they are still preparing. I wish them good luck (no sarcasm).

But, for a sense of the timelines one can reasonably expect: NuScale got the approval of their SMR in 6 years. It was a pressurized water reactor, just like about 100 such reactors that are in commercial operation in the US, and which the NRC is currently overseeing. Of course, it is much smaller, so there are probably some specific challenges related to the different size of the reactor, but otherwise the technology is the same, and the NRC has literally thousands, or tens of thousands of man-year experience with these reactors.

Oklo's proposed reactor is a sodium-cooled fast reactor. One such reactor was in operation in the US about half a century ago. Most likely noone on the current NRC staff has any personal experience with such a reactor. How long will it take the NRC to approve a new reactor type with which their staff has zero experience? I'm keeping my fingers crossed, this reactor technology is quite cool in principle. But I'm not holding my breath that I'll see this technology in actual production this decade. Maybe in the 2030's, if we are lucky.

I don't condone bad cops and I am very strong on prosecuting them, but the way the media and the protesters portrayed Breona Taylor as a totally innocent victim of a botched police raid was lacking in some important details. The rental car under her name, and a person found shot dead inside of it, didn't bode well for her. When's the last time you rented a car and a person was found dead in it? Your boyfriend's a drug dealer and arrested on drugs and gun charges and you are having calls with him in jail about holding onto his money? I am glad I grew up where I did. It taught me some life lessons street smarts that seem to be non-existent in those who grew up quite differently. Breona didn't deserve to die, but she was not a wholly unrelated, innocent victim in this scenario as the media and protesters tried to paint. All of your choices have consequences.
Source? (AFAIK it does, and it'd be very unexpected for it not to. The rest of the comment is unclear to me. I may be reading it as a strawman instead of a steelman -- would a reply like: 'just because our derivative is negative doesn't mean on a per-capita basis we're less' be accurate? I'm sure I missed something)
They didn't put it in the description for it either. I doubt it's a type.
The same reason you can't start drilling for oil in your back yard. Negative externalities.
Some folks are excellent drivers.

I find the ability to understand the concept of a car's "soul" to a very reliable way to separate them out.

Why? Because "soul" doesn't mean the immortal soul endowed by our Creator. It refers to the feel and responsiveness of a car. The car's personality, if you will. It refers to every unique behavioral trait that the car has acquired through its design and life been driven.

On my old truck the clutch would feel different after my wife drove it. It took a few miles to get the feel back. It drove better with a couple hundred lb on the bed. On my '13 golf I can feel a slight "give" on the steering from wear. I can feel the car and drive it through a corner with the wheels slightly squealing [1]. Thats the edge grip. On the KIA I can feel the difference in the engine and transmission (especially) behavior before and after the oil has warmed up. On the Golf, the shifter is "lazy" until she warms up.

Within 10 miles of getting a new set of tires I know if I hate them or love them. I get a feel for their limits.

I hate renting cars. Despite the low millage, they feel worn and lose. I also feel like a fish out of the water in a car that is not mine.

As you add mechanical/electrical complexity these various feedbacks from the car are washed away. Professional drivers hate these aids. This is widely known in the aviation industry and many planes add artificial feel to give pilots feedback on the fly-by-wire systems.

So ya, a good driver feels as if his car has a "soul" just like a good pilot can feel his plane's "soul". There's no immortal soul in a car, no consciousness, but there is a whole lotta love.

Not even our children. We will deal with it in 5 years. We're past the fucking around phase, now it's time to find out in increasingly large amounts every year.
The Chinese emit more per capita than the Europeans.
> Just imagine norwegian electric car subsidies but happening everywhere

That's hard to imagine, because Norway exported a huge amount of pollution to the rest of the world in order to finance their current policy of green technology adoption. Not everyone has that nice ratio of oil and tiny population.
The distinction between the PC being off and the monitor being off is one that is still lost on people, and it’s understandable. End users should not have to separate these things in their minds. Why would you want one off but the other on, besides use cases that HN commenters will surely list that are only relevant to power users? Just have one fucking power switch.

Apple has largely solved this with their external displays, and the laptop industry has also solved this. Yet the PC world is still full of monitors with separate power switches that just confuse.
Might be just my preferences, but I find the retro-pixelated font to be visually painful.

IIRC, the proper KPI for (EV) vehicles is cost per km traveled. Right?

Meaning balancing tradeoffs of performance, cost, weight, etc.

(Not to mention mitigating risks, like sourcing and externalities.)

It's fascinating to me, as a lurker, that misc EV OEMs are making different choices. Such exciting times.
