Radiative forcing is measured in watts per square meter. If you compute the total surface area of the earth [0] in square meters and that by multiply the radiative forcing number, you get watts.

[0] technically some layer of the earth between the ground and whatever you define as the edge of the atmosphere.
Similar, plus with no commute that time was often spent continuing to work vs ducking out at 5pm sharp in order to get home in enough time to go for a run or walk before dark etc.
weird, it looks like an actually honest cookie pop-up to me - way more friendly default settings, and the "decline" button is not greyed out.

Maybe I missed the "shitty dark pattern", or I was shown a different popup than you?

>Why does a working program have to change because the windowing system decided to flip everybody the bird?

Because desktop Linux started off insecure and they are trying to tack on security to what exists. Keep in mind that xwayland exists so working apps will still work, they just can't escape the sandbox and interact with the rest of the system.

>Windows doesn't do that.

Windows has been trying to sandbox win32 apps for years. The difference is that Microsoft is made up of professionals who actually know how to develop and evolve an OS.

>Linus himself will slam the wrath of God down upon anybody who breaks the kernel API. etc.

No, Linus doesn't care about having a stable kernel API. Google had to develop a stable API for people to use.

> Take a look at copy-paste on X11 vs Wayland

Why are display servers handling copy paste in the first place? That is not where it belongs.
We used a combination of CDNs and balanced according to region (some were better in Australia than others, for instance).
This is a tangent, but I think using the acronym CS2 is really confusing because now there's Counter Strike 2, which is a lot more popular than Cities Skyline 2.

> japanese society and businesses don’t reward people that jump from job to job.

I can see why this is good and bad, but honestly, I wish more places in the West were like this too. I've had the same job for 7 years as a programmer, and it baffles me how many people find that surprising/unusual.

I seriously rather not look for another job, but I due to some upcoming changes at my work, I think I may have to.
TL;DR: Google doesn't have to do a damn thing.

Apple won't enter search or social networking because Erik Neuenschwander would poke holes in its privacy and Tim Cook would ask how it would add value.

And there's no point in competing in hard-fought, expensive, entrenched categories without a mission and differentiation.

And Spotlight isn't a search engine in the web sense or in the monetizing other things sense. It's an OS-based indexing engine to find local and some web and app content. Windows has one, Linux does, and so on. If anything, I would first bet Microsoft monetizes placement of "rich content" whereas Apple would be unlikely to do so. (Retail Windows looks to me like Yahoo or AOL of the 90's, but as a Teams, OneDrive, and Office365 advertising engine.)
Some of the latest stuff in the Klipper eco system is mind bendingly awesome. I had a partially built Voron from 3 years ago that I got out of the cupboard a few weeks ago, CAN-Bus print heads, Beacon Eddy-current bed levelling system (that's just insane..), print head acceleration measurement. You can see over the past few years it's been doing what open-source sharing of ideas/code/files has lead to some incredible stuff.

It really seems like Prusa should have done something with Octoprint than trying to reinvent the wheel on their own.

Now Octoprint is left in this shrinking space between Prusa/Bambu and Voron type printers. Bambu from what I can see is the best "click and go option" (albeit going against the open source ethos to a degree) then you go into Voron realm and you're definitely using the Klipper stack there.

When I'd gotten back into it I thought "am I really going to do put this all together, why not go an XL". 3 hours of YouTube videos later it was "no way.. sticking with Voron and going all in..."
The same would be true of those who enjoy gaming or own cryptocurrency. At its best, we're talking about a sort of tribalism. Human psychology is complex, and our relationship with alcohol isn't completely unhealthy.

Skylines isn't an AAA release though. And the first game was only really successful because the prior sim city was full of user hostile changes. The new game similarly banks on the accumulated positive image of the first one. To risk all that with a user hostile, awfully optimized early release is a risky game to play.

The studio already killed a series once with a bad second entry, cities in motion 2...
> Think of the global man hours wasted achieving basically the same thing slightly different ways

Like when Richard Stallman forked e's source code and built the little-known editor emacs.

Or when Linus Torvalds rewrote UNIX as a useless free kernel without tech support, documentation or mandatory subscription fees.

Or when Chris Lattner wrote his own scrappy C compiler and redundant intermediate language just to be cool and edgy.

Fuck it, why do we have technology at all? Why doesn't the government just tell us all what to do, think of the global man hours we could save with that!
My very biased advice is leverage your public work, and just go freelance. You have to develop some other skills like networking if you want to avoid the meat market freelancing job sites… oh and don’t do websites unless there’s something other than the website involved, or they agree up front to a minimum hour per week maintenance deal (like they will pay 1 billable hour per week regardless of if they talk to you at all, to cover your time spent keeping on top of patches and security) there’s so little value add in website building that you quickly find people constantly using up your time asking for trivial changes that without a maintenance deal will start to make the customer resent paying for them and it’s not worth the headaches…

There’s a lot of good money out there for people with experience who are willing to help small businesses who have sufficient IT skills to have reached the point where they want to automate and improve their workflows and management processes, who don’t feel the off the shelf products like excel, Airtable, etc, are a good fit or do the job they need, and who are willing to either pay either hourly for the work or enough per contact that it’s worth the risk you’ve estimated wrong…

This is obviously much harder in the USA due to the symbiotic (being generous about the positive connotations) nature of employment and healthcare.
Yeah, I don't honestly know much about the hardware side of things, nor the business/economic rationale for why one would prefer an Oxide rack over a more conventional setup, but reading through their posts, what they've done is just singularly so impressive that I really, really, really want them to succeed.

I've worked in startups most of my life, but it's tough feeling like you've got to take a bunch of shortcuts ("MVP"-it before you run out of runway, etc. etc.), so to see a startup just put a ton of real engineering prowess into a great product is a sight to behold.

Also, while there are obviously amazing products out there in the world, it's so often a "race to the bottom" that it feels like decently made products are just prohibitively expensive. I'm really into antique espresso machines, and there is a reason that seeing rebuilds of beautiful old lever espresso machines get so many oohs and ahhs online - they truly don't make them like they used to, so it's so cool to see these beasts brought back to life. For some reason I have a similar feeling looking at these Oxide racks - they just didn't cut corners to build an awesome machine. Again, not qualified to say whether that makes economic sense long term, but it's still a thing of beauty regardless.
> this is made worse by the fact that itertools lacks a sliding window function

We have `itertools.pairwise()` for making a sliding window of pairs, but yes, there is no function that accepts an arbitrary number of elements.

Could be worth checking out the SoftStep - a small board of pressure controllers that can work as MIDI controllers. I think they supply a USB to MIDI cable or an expander box if you're not hooking up to a computer. I think each pad is configurable on the X and Y axis as well as vertical foot pressure...

leetcode does not test for general capacity or whether you are able to build anything

it just tests how fast you can reproduce an optimal solution to some problem that for some non sensical reason became part of a body of coding challenges

you are wrong in thinking that leetcode is a fair interview style. it gives people who happen to do well in the leetcode style an unfair advantage over those who do not or have no time to repetitively memorize the problems and solutions.
Does that matter in practice? Isn’t the normal use of pledge to parse your command line arguments, environment and configuration file(s), call pledge to tell the OS what kinds of things you’ll do, and then do them, and isn’t that checking as good as always done before starting a second thread? (Or does libc start threads in some cases?)

Also, the OpenBSD man page (https://man.openbsd.org/pledge.2) states “The pledge() system call forces the current process into a restricted-service operating mode”, indicating it’s process-wide.

Reading https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38032251, that seems different from its Linux port.
thanks to the bbc brit, the subthread essentially culminated in your comment. I'd like to clarify that this dichotomy didn't exist in my original. "technology elite" like somebody hinted elsewhere in the thread, could be a dirt poor kid from underprivileged background, whose accidental access to a computer was the only means of escape from the oppressive reality. at a certain level of technological sophistication one could gain capabilities and access that make one belong to a select group, making one part of the elite. from this perspective, "the masses" are literally everyone else who wasn't on the internet in the early 2000s. yes, by weight and numbers there will be an inordinate amount of talented individuals among them. there will also be perhaps an even bigger number of complete and utter mediocrities. since the person you're responding to doesn't use the term "elites", I can only assume it's everyone you don't like, because some of them would've been technological elites, who then became financial ones, but then some of them would've been financial elites, who remained financial elites never becoming technological ones, and yet by the power of their capital they've exploited technology. they are I guess bad. most of the humanity are good, because a lot of talented ones make art. what a pointless subthread, god damn.
Russia is self-isolating right now. They are trying to standardize on one engine that does not have ties with West. E.g. they do not want to be at mercy of Unity or Epic.

This is a bid for that piece of government sponsorship.

I would have said it the way you did: Christians took pagan traditions, put a Christian veneer on them, and then acted like they had something new. I think the original quote was trying to portray something different: that Christians tried to breathe “new life” into pagan holidays.

But I think your way of phrasing it matches history better. The Christians were trying to disguise the pagan sources for their holiday. Since the bottle or wineskin is in plain view and the wine inside is hidden, I personally would have compared the Christian veneer to the bottle and the pagan history to the wine inside it.
Storing hydrogen isn't hard because its explosive, it's less volatile than gasoline.

Storing hydrogen is hard because it's low density until it approaches absolute zero and is smaller than and embrittles the best materials we have to store it.

If batteries are a worry for replacement, imagine leaking embrittled pressure tanks that have to be checked every year and replaced sooner than every 5.
In the scene above, it’s just one character who talks like that: the one who was born a very long time ago, and still speaks with archaic diction. It may break your personal immersion, but real people actually did talk like that in Early Modern English, and it makes in-universe sense for a Ringwraith to hold on to old speech patterns.
I am following that guide whenever I do a new install. I've never used one of those GUI enabled installers for Arch.

I started with Arch around 2010, and last did a fresh install on a new computer a few months ago.

Yes, you can still learn quite a bit from the guide if you are new to it. But it's gotten a lot easier over the years. I remember eg X and wifi used to be a bit of a pain, but now they mostly just work. Thanks to UEFI, you can also boot directly into your kernel, and no longer need to muck around with an extra boot manager like grub or syslinux. (Assuming your computer's UEFI implementation is not too buggy.)
History is quite a subject. Lincoln and Lee on slavery and the war:

Lincoln: My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it.

Lee: I am rejoiced that slavery is abolished. I would cheerfully have lost all I have lost by the war, and suffered all I have suffered, to have this objective obtained. Slavery is a moral and political evil.

The “restart from where it failed”-aspect was a big reason for why I made Mats3. It is message-based, async, transactional, staged stateless services, or message-oriented asynchronous RPC. Due to the transactionality, and the “state lives on the wire”, if a flow fails, it can be restarted from where it left off.

30FPS on the world's #1 fastest GPU is totally not OK. Heck, I'd be unhappy with 30FPS on my ancient Radeon Pro 580.

I remember easily getting frame rates far in excess of my monitor's top refresh rate back in 1999.

Linux grew up in the bedrooms of teenagers. It was risky in the era of 486 and Pentiums. The environment and business criticality of a $1-2M rack-size computer is quite different.
I thought that it couldn't demodulate DMR and other modes unless it had the hardware to do so. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, though.
Or banking regulation for centuries.
I spent so much time in cities.exe I'm scared to check out the second one. How do you feel about the modding scene for it? I had probably 70GB of assets loading, converting the game into something altogether different.
Of course. But as noted above that maintenance has been very cautious, because no one wants to unduly disturb the running system.

My grandfather made good money in the late 1990s patching up ancient systems for the y2k bug, before his retirement.
Oddly enough, Vanity Fair had a story on it. https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2023/10/new-york-times-gaza-...

In the J-school I attended we learned that editorial decisions weigh many factors, but newsworthiness tended to come first. Other things like reliability of sources, liability for libel, etc come next. We were taught to weigh things like "if we report this, will it cause harm to the community, and does the newsworthiness outweigh the potential form harm?" As an example, news outlets largely stopped reporting on suicides, because copycat suicides happen. They don't report the names of certain kinds victims, like minors.

At any legit news outlet there will be an editorial board that makes the publication decisions, made up of senior experienced journalists.

Most outlets that disable comments did so because of toxic behavior commenters directed at each other, not because the comments were second-guessing editorial decisions.
Your argument for control is 180° wrong: Apple has the control and that is why it can demand excessive payment.

I don't understand the stereotypical anti-Google sentiment. Clearly Apple are getting paid an excess amount here because they control the default.

Apple could swap to Bing and few people would notice the difference.

Apple 2022: $99.8 billion profit (over 1 year)

Google Q4 2022: $18.16 billion profit on $76 billion in revenue (over 3 months).

Apple App store profit: The App Store generated US$1.1 trillion in total billings and sales in the App Store ecosystem in 2022, Apple has revealed. More than 90 percent of the billings and sales went to developers and businesses without a commission being taken by Apple. https://itwire.com/it-industry-news/market/apple-s-app-store...

I don't understand the stereotypical anti-Google sentiment. Clearly Apple are getting paid an excess amount here because they control the default.

I use duckduckgo which is backed by Bing. Apple doesn't use Bing because Apple can extract monopoly rents from Google. Who's the bad guy here? 18 billion a year is a lot of money relative to the profits of the companies. For comparison, Apple seems to make more from its searchbox than it does from the App Store (widely regarded as usurous).

my guess is that many programmers like git because of the free/libre folk. i personally like git because it has an easy to understand gui interface that many people understand if you are not tech savy. my fav gui interface is github desktop that i use to talk to my github account and make commits to my personal website. i wish the other git repository hosting sites like gitlab and codeberg had an easy to use gui. maybe somebody will make one

It's a "when in Rome..." situation.

Theres nothing wrong with using them but what you are going to find across the community are comprehensions. They concisely bring the data container and the iteration together with no fuss.

If you need to map and reduce and filter and want to build a chain and/or have reusable predicate functions then go for it.

I always encourage my teams to reach for the ecosystem usage before doing things because another language does it different (map/filter/reduce being the best option in JS 90% of the time).

But maybe you work at a functional shop and everyone Gets It(tm) and then it is the norm.
I would consider adding, in Advanced: "Compiles the cpython interpreter from source".

That is a fair call. The game visual updating slow is not a huge issue but if the input cursor is slow, it is very apparent.

Considering something like Simcity 2000/3000. Visual update is probably in single digits FPS most of the time, but the input cursor is very smooth.
Same here. A new network censorship? F#ck cloudflare.
This study doesn't make any practical sense. These pages weren't designed to convey the maximal amount of information in the least amount of space, they were designed to sell a product. It's impossible to claim if these designs have a negative impact due to content dispersion or not unless you are measuring them against the purpose they were designed for.

They explicitly studied ecommerce/product pages here. The relevant metrics are which page had a higher perceived product value? Which page had a higher conversion ratio? Which page resulted in a higher NPS? Which page created a more positive brand affinity?

You don't sell portable speakers using specs, you sell it with aspirational images of it being used on a beach. Of course expanding an accordion of product details then asking "On a scale from 1-7, How well do you feel you understood the offering communicated on the page?" results in a higher survey score. If you said the more dense page converted better, then I would be surprised.

It's like designing a study on the negative impact of hard F1 race car seats, adding a bunch of foam, testing which is more comfortable, then proclaiming one is better than the other because it was rated more comfortable, when the only metric they were designed for is lap time.
For aircraft and long haul trucking, sure.

I think range anxiety is already mostly a nothingburger and as battery capacity improves and people realize being limited to X miles is hardly a limitation for their use case at all, it will become a non-issue.

Using electricity directly is just easier and more efficient than transporting hydrogen that was made from electricity, unless for some reason hydrogen truly is more economic than battery for your use case.
Years ago I made a couple of SoftRock receivers for the 20m and 40m CW bands and put them on a couple of Raspberry Pis. I got WebSDR to run on it and it's kinda become a thing now.

If your stall speed is 6mph and the winds are 100mph, you can fly into the wind at just above stall speed and still be doing 94mph tailfeathers-first.
IIJ has a project like this, data center in a container, just add power. They build it all up in Japan, ship it to rural areas across the world to basically jumpstart a local data center (I imagine mostly for industrial sites). They had a fun project where they had a half rack, powered by solar and connected to the net via Starlink.
Hydrogen storage and transport is hugely impractical. Photovoltaic efficiency is improving (slowly) but ultimately limited by the laws of physics. Hard to make the math work for what you predict.
Obviously we can grow an extra brain that will operate the extra limbs.
