If you ground a structural color material down into a dust, it would no longer produce the same color effects anymore. By contrast, pigments and dyes have their absorption at the molecular level and would only lose their effect if you modified their chemical bonds.

With structural color, the substances themselves do not have this spectral absorption characteristic. Instead, very specific configurations are needed to produce different effects. Imagine microscopic arrays of prisms and mirrors.

Also, structural colorization is often very angle-dependent. The iridescence of flowers, feathers, etc. comes from this characteristic. At different angles of incidence of light reflecting to an observer, different colors become visible. Pigments do not do this.

Also, I think there may be differences in usage of these terms between physicists, chemists, and biologists. While writing this, I also realize I am not sure if the terms become ambiguous for relativelt inert, microscopic crystals. From a physics standpoint, I think the crystals may exhibit structural color and pigment effects. From a practical standpoint, they might behave a little more like a pigment in that you could have what seems a fine dust and mix it into paint. But, if you dissolved it to separate the crystals back into free molecules, it would then only exhibit the pigment effects.
there are tons of variations, depending on your logic and API. The closest to virtual threads is ForkJoinPool and RecursiveTask, where you can have code like regular blocking code:

var f = async_api_returns_future();

...

var res = f.join();

but join() won't block OS/JVM thread, but make it to perform other tasks in the queue.

Or you can design API which will receive executorService as params, and run callback there, e.g.:

async_call(Callable callback, ExecutorService threadPool);

The US doesn't have a severe homeless problem as is so often portrayed. The US rate of homelessness is comparable to or better than Canada [0] and far better than France (which has about 3x the homelessness problem of the US, with ~330,000 homeless and 1/5 the population of the US).

People on HN think the US looks like San Francisco. California has one of the highest rates of homelessness in the US.

"About 582,000 Americans are experiencing homelessness, according to 2022 Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) data."

That figure is lower than it was before the great recession bubble burst for example. It's up slightly, a few tens of thousands, since the bottom in ~2015-2016.

The Housing First program dramatically reduced homelessness in the US. Many regions of the US have followed it to great success, California has largely refused to. The US rate of homelessness actually declined throughout the era of the great recession, when the severe economic hit would have been expected to produce a large surge in homelessness (especially given it was in part a housing collapse) - the reason for that was the Housing First program (which began under the Bush Administration and was successfully continued during the Obama Administration).

When you point out to people that the US homelessness problem is better than the dire situation in eg France, they lose their minds in my experience, but that's due solely to ignorance about the actual data and context. They can't fathom that a massive welfare state system like France has would still have immense homelessness.

[0] "Canada's national database estimates that there are approximately 235,000 homeless people across the country, but that number triples when emergency room health-care data is considered."

Tokyo is pretty famous for building something like 'enough'.

Vienna has a pretty good housing story.

The interest rates in most of the world are bad for would-be homebuyers across the board, though.

The US has a lot of 'low hanging fruit' in terms of being able to get rid of a lot of onerous zoning that could really make a dent in the housing supply. And we've seen a fair amount of progress in the short time frame that YIMBY groups have been a thing.

Unfortunately you've fallen victim to years of anti-GPL propaganda and FUD. A 10-liner GPL Python script is not going to "infect" an org with 20 million lines of closed source code. Suggesting that it's possible, even "in theory", is absurd.

Unfortunately, intention is not how law works. The GPL is a legal contract, and how much of a company's IP will come under it will be determined by a judge after lots of expensive litigation. If a suit is filed they will pick apart every line in the license, subpoena every change that was made in every version that someone could claim "was distributed" (available at a public URL?), every email that was tangentially sent, every bug that was filed, every document written, etc, just to determine the extent of what is covered. If that sounds excessive and you haven't heard of it happening, that's because no one wants to go through this and would rather settle than spending the money and effort on defending themselves. To understand the potential, look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_LLC_v._Oracle_America,_....

The GPL purposely weaponizes source code in a way that other open source licenses do not, and personally I would rather hope that people decide on their own to release their changes than invite the lawyers into my code. Using code licensed this way is okay for projects that are already 100% GPL or aren't worth owning.

>but I'll reluctantly accept that me not knowing how to use the tool is not entirely the tool's fault

I don't buy this. A good tool should do its job and stay out of your way. The amount of pointless knowledge I now have just to be able to use a version control system for my job still to this day annoys me.

Linus Torvalds isn't some infallible god, and it may be useful for linux kernel development, but we're not all linux kernel developers; and tools like VCSes, when designed well, should be unnoticed until the exact moment you need them, convenient and simple to use, and not get in your way or create problems for you where there weren't any to begin with. (Holy run-on sentences, Batman!)

In contrast, git goes out of its way to throw itself in your face at every opportunity, exacerbate your problems, and create a maze you either have to navigate precisely or just decide "fuck it" and do a copy/replace file trick just to get back on track with what you were actually doing.

The fact that people keep prescribing "just learn all its intricacies" or other band-aids (like the other "use with" software suggestions here) rather than even acknowledging it as a problem, to me, points to the lack of UX expertise in the field, and to stockholm syndrome.

(Which, funnily enough, is a problem things like git contributes to. It being one of the first things required to learn in CS, I constantly wonder how many of my peers might've switched out of the field given the mess it is, assuming CS wasn't for them. And, in turn, the breakthroughs we might've missed out on having earlier.)

Tools should be simple and usable, not throw up arbitrary barriers to entry.
Again, I want to emphasise that sometimes a project or set of ideas not only thrives, but completely dominates.
Fun fact: Lou Reed poems were published in a “Special Poetry Supplement” to The Harvard Advocate[0] (as Louis Reed!) around that time (1971).

There is a poem called "The Coach and Glory of Love" that is in fact the very song "Coney Island Baby" from the homonymous album released later in 1976[1].

The drugs of choice changed in the 80s. In the 60s/70s, it was lots of weed and psychedelics. In the 80s, it switched to cocaine, then crack in the 90s. And as we all all know, crack is whack!
Who's the target market? You should be able to find a persona of someone interested in it. Even if you built it for yourself, you should be able to make a persona that's a fragment of yourself, e.g. Jay who puts all his MMO stuff on spreadsheets and wants to migrate his sheets to a wiki.

Where do they hang out? That's probably a good place to start.
I have no idea about the scientific veracity of your claims, but anecdotally I've been eating a very healthy mostly vegan low sugar diet, and haven't had a cavity in over 15 years despite using non-fluoride toothpaste. Same for my wife and two sons. There is definitely something to diet and dental health in my opinion.
but i don't care because it involves doing web dev and using twitter. i already easily enter any math domain so i can work for some stupid company and get $300K/year in a week of job searching. what you are doing is no different than 90s microsoft devs making products to sell on microsoft's platform. none of these solutions are "freedom", since you still have to work terribly long amounts of time like 9-5, and sit on top of foundations that randomly move on peoples whims, your twitter suddenly requesting 45K/month being a prime example. the only freedom is skill. making a screenshot app is something anyone can do. you can also invest your time fully into marketing and that's what people do and why the world sucks.

I love D; unfortunately, since I use Qt, I'm mainly limited to C++ for a lot of personal projects. With that being said, I strive to use D where I can, and my most recent project is making use of some neat D features (like C++ interop).
There is a stupidity component here that i think got lost in the framing. The larger that becomes the more blame is functional to sustain your agency. You shouldnt be doing very stupid stuff, the only point at which that becomes a non issue is if you are unable to do so and require a legal guardian.

If you dont want one and keep your agency, be less dumb. This is a functional description not a moral argument. If somebody has to fix it for your, your say in the matter will drastically reduce.

> so you accept society’s judgement on fireworks at your dog’s expense?

How should I understand this question? What choices do I have? What are the possible answers and what would they mean? I'm obviously not happy about the fireworks, but what would it mean that I don't accept them?

> in that case, why don’t you eat meat? society is fine with it.

I also don't shoot fireworks. And the society is fine with meat eating as well.

> seems like uneven application.

Some people would rather see hypocrisy than nuance.

That’s just the general shtick here. You take your own SV bubble, extrapolate it to the whole country/world/etc., and when challenged, accuse the challenger of being in a bubble, with some self righteous flavor to land it.
The Tokyo metro area is quite affordable compared to desirable metro areas in the United States and Canada, as well as other East Asian metro areas outside Japan. While I'd struggle to find a place for $500,000 in Silicon Valley, $500,000 in the Tokyo metro area could buy a nice place, especially if one commutes from the suburbs. The public transportation system in the Tokyo metro area is top notch, even in the suburbs.
I think it's interesting to hear how some people are upset with her non-physics videos and how that compares with how her videos are received by experts in those fields. Her videos are generally well received, whereas people complaining rarely have more to say than some form of "stay in your own lane". When people have a hard time coming up with complaints that are actually about the subject matter, you're probably doing a good job :)

I like the quote in the article from Patricia Rankin: "[challenging] people's assumptions ... because that's really what science is all about."

I have much more respect for someone who disagrees with me, with whom I can discuss differences reasonably, than with someone who agrees with me, but does so dogmatically. The latter is unfortunately more common than the former, and I think that's why Sabine holds a special place in my heart.
Yeah I guess it depends on how sophisticated the "hiddenness" of the field is. Instead of straight up using the hidden property (which is easier for a bot to detect), you could try other things, like moving the input field offscreen and using overflow: hidden, or styling it such that it's the same color as the background and is unfillable. Now though you'll need to worrying about tabbing through fields (change tabindex to -1) and screen readers that might pick up the fields.

By far the worst homelessness problems in the US are all in very blue cities, not red voting areas. It's not even a close comparison, all the worst cities in the US for wealth inequality and homelessness are particularly blue. The dramatic intensity of poverty and murder that deeply blue cities have produced is terrifying, as is the fact that it has continued uninterrupted for so long. At some point someone should start asking some questions. San Francisco has been a microcosm of that severe dysfunction.

The craziest part of the TSA is that if you compare the number+demographics of the people they employ (60,000 employees requiring only a high school diploma equivalent!) against the repeatedly demonstrated lack of any kind of effectiveness in their own testing, it becomes very quickly obvious that the whole thing is just a tax-funded wealth redistribution program (jobs! paid by the US government! for basically anyone!) built to pass under the radar of anti-socially-minded people unable to stomach the idea of giving money to poor people without demanding that they do pointless labor for its own sake in return.

Actually, the labor is worse than pointless. The travel productivity cost to society is astronomical. Like, literally everyone would be better off if the TSA paid people to just stay home and do absolutely nothing at all. The current employees would have their time back, the travelers would have their time back, and travel security would be no worse in any statistically meaningful sense. But the US has a huge contingent of people fundamentally opposed to doing things like this even when it would make literally everything better for literally everyone.

So here we are.
The problem with property tax instead of land value tax is that a parking lot operator pays a lot less tax than the 30-storey apartment building next door. This is despite the fact that both plots of land have the same neighborhood amenities and same development potential. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqQhoZgFZgk
Wealthy conservatives in the US largely subscribe to Social Darwinism or something like a Calvinist logic of god having ordained their success. Essentially, “the homeless are homeless because they deserve to be homeless.” It’s self-serving and tautological, but so are most ideologies based around on a defense of the status quo.
This is a concern for people who are living in difficult circumstances, particularly with domestic violence, with companions who might steal valuables, or similar circumstances, where the test would reveal presence of a concealed phone.

Even if you're not directly affected, should share information about the test and possible impacts with those around you who might be, so that they can disable or move any devices elsewhere on the test date.
You can't really have a "mistake" unless there's an authoritative source and standard that everyone agrees to use.

Language evolves with use, and being really passionate about an idealized standard in your head doesn't somewhat materialize it as the "correct" way.
That's a lot of anger directed at some people who made some music you don't like.

This seems like a laudable project, but when compared with hCaptcha or ReCaptcha, it feels very clunky.

I worry that it will be possible to automate solving it, particularly for the slider ones, which I think could be automated in a straightforward way.

I think with further refinement, it would be possible to build a captcha that respected privacy that was as secure as the leading alternatives. I am just not certain that a captcha is necessarily going to be a workable solution at all as time goes on (especially in light of advances in computer vision and AI more generally).

I think that the crux of the problem is that bots are going to get better and better at solving these kinds of challenges, and humans are pretty much going to stay where they are. I suspect the bots have already caught up.
No, you're not weird. For a while, some people made a point of saying that they didn't watch TV as some kind of strange virtue signaling/position of snobbery and I got the same feeling from the GP statement.

For my side project i have a simple text note in a web notes app.

In that note i have a list of around 10 things i should do next, ordered by priority.

That's it. Either i work on one of the ten items or i do not. Only when i finish some items i add new ones. (Of course i also sometimes just reorder or delete stuff from the list.)

There are weeks where i do nothing and in those weeks i do not waste time with "busy work" but just look at the list from time to time and see that i am not motivated to work on the important stuff so i do not work on it at all.

Most modern cars will happily start at -20°C and many will start at -30°C without any special additions (don't ask me how I know, you just need to know what you are doing). Of course it's not -200°C, but one thing to remember is that there is no temperature in the vacuum. The temperature of the Lunar surface is not it. An object without heating can easily reach lower temperatures there, yet it may not be that hard to keep that object warm as e.g. somewhere in the Arctic as there is no conductivity, only the radiation heat transfer.

Interest rates in Japan are still very low, though if you're thinking about moving to Japan, it is difficult for foreigners to get mortgages through Japanese banks unless they have permanent residency or have a Japanese spouse, though I've heard of some banks offering mortgages to those who lived in the country for at least two years. Who knows what interest rates in Japan will be in two years, though; the yen has weakened noticeably against the dollar since 2022 when the Federal Reserve started its interest rate hikes, yet the Bank of Japan has continued its low interest policy.
