> All of this seems ripe for playing number games.

Now you're getting it. It step 1 of the con. In a con the first thing you do is shut down the mark's reasoning by overwhelming it with an appeal to strong emotion, usually greed or fear. i.e. "We've been trying to reach you about your cars extended warranty, if you don't call now you're car will no longer be covered."

Next you offer a solution to the problem, if you do a good job with the first part the mark will be more focused on either 1) Getting a big payout or 2) Avoiding bad consequences, next you offer them a solution to the problem. If you are really good you'll hint at it and then pull back "Listen I've got this deal, actually never mind I don't think you'd be a good fit." this is the setting the hook.

Finally you ask for the payment, with their logic shortcircuted the mark will then give you whatever you ask because they want relief bad.

What does this have to do with the parent comment? He points out how easy it is to play number games with the things being defined here. This is because the groundwork is being laid for step 2, where the solution of "carbon capture credits" will be introduced.

And before everyone starts angrily downvoting, I'll point out that I'm not saying climate change isn't a problem or that we need to do something about it. I'm saying that the same people in congress who are flying around in private jets and authorizing massive pork payments may not be solely motivated by a selfless desire to save the world and may be a little bit more interested in enriching themselves. But of course we all know politicians are flawless paragons of virute, except for those evil {conservatives|liberals|republicans|democrats|MAGAs|wokies|etc...}

Before you downvote me, I'm going to ask you to take just a minute though and think, isn't a carbon tax a much more effective solution then setting some arbitrary goals, wouldn't it change actual behavior and provide better funding for further action? Stop and think did you reach to downvote me because you felt a strong emotional reaction when you thought I might be anti-climate change? Do you feel if we don't take immediate action right now we'll be doomed?

Just saying cons are all about overwhelming the mark with fear and greed....

P.S Start to look for the pattern in the rest of life, it makes things interesting...
The mainstream manufacturers have invested a lot very quickly into the supply chain for batteries. It is ramping up extremely fast. Many of the current supply issues seem to be that it is ramping up too fast and there is a bit of a "hysteresis effect" as new plants come online with early plant quality issues that just need time to smooth out.

Several of the mainstream manufacturers have 100% EV goals in 7 years or less. (All of the German manufacturers do, and GM is said to internally have a similar goal despite the kid gloves they treat their shareholders with because US shareholders have too much love for ICE and would tank GM's stock if GM actually said that out loud.)
Not at a startup. We just launched a project this year and Django was chosen.
I don't have much interest in celebrity either, but I feel that you're short-changing Terence Tao. He's not really famous due to being celebrated, but he's celebrated due to his level of skill and breadth of mathematical knowledge (sometimes known as the Mozart of Mathematics).

I think your sentiment is misplaced as I would expect HN commenters to have heard of Tao as he often features in posts about mathematics. I'm sure I recall seeing some comments from him too.

There's an approachable Numberphile video featuring him here: https://www.numberphile.com/videos/the-worlds-best-mathemati...
How does this fit into your workflow? I don’t understand why you’d do this rather than create the Jira ticket directly in Jira, and I don’t understand what sorts of changes you’d put in the commit.
Developing for the web client and having centralized control over both code and data on your server is just so much easier for the developer. Not necessarily the best client experience, but the difference in development and support cost is huge.

Thus any local-first software is more rare, if it has to also include an online component. It's just harder.
I started to agree with you, but let's keep in mind that there are new generations of tech geeks out here who are just learning about the things we live and breathe.
This article makes me wonder how many groundbreaking discoveries are buried under academia's bureaucracy and ego battles.
The centralization of the web through a for profit oligopoly is not the same as having a central respiratory of data by a non-profit.

One of those destroyed net neutrality and most online free speech, the other is a charity trying to be the last memorial of it.

> The only way you're getting anyone to host things from the past is for there to be an incentive. The only incentive possible is a centralized repository.

What about the incentive of keeping a somewhat thrustworthy and complete digital historical record? Is that worth nothing outside of its sheer monetization potential?

Try doing that outside of the FAANG dominance and you have some work cut out for you because they've spent the last decades either buying up any prospective "competition" or straight up marginalizing it into irrelevance.

Which is, to state it again, the antithesis to what the web was supposed to be, it started as a scientific venture [0], it inspired a whole new way of looking at the world and our minds in it [1].

Profit incentives came only later, they were not inherint to this space, they invaded it and took it over.

Yes, I'm romanitizing a lot of idealism here, but I think it's important to remember that era and mindset of the early web.

It's important to remind people that the current web was neither the goal nor has it still much to do with the web of the old, a place of counter-culture, not of corporate mainstream pushing overwhelming government messages while keeping more tabs on you than even the Stasi could ever dream about.

Correct. Encryption does not hurt chilren and guns do not kill people. Humans do all that.

> There is a grave pilot shortage already and the FAA loathes to make GA even more inaccessible than it already is

Lol, inaccessible? Y'all don't even need airstrips to take on and off, for Part 103 ultralights technically not even a license. Meanwhile, here in Germany, first pay up thousands of euros for the ultralight cert, and you have to use dedicated airstrips instead of your farm's field. Oh and if you want to get beyond ultralight, do everything from scratch for the PPL, no credit/transfers.

TBH, it has always been surprising to me that this wasn't a default feature in Android. It couldn't be that difficult to add.

Then again, they want to support small storage sizes, so maybe discouraging the OS from growing too much with redundant 32 and 64 bit versions of base libraries is the real reason?
There are definitely better ways to benchmark.

I design similar NVMe-based ZFS solutions for specialized media+entertainment and biosciences workloads and have put massive time into the platform and tuning needs.

Also think about who will be consuming data. I've employed the use of an RDMA-enabled SMB stack and client tuning to help get the best I/o characteristics out of the systems.
I'm a Pillow maintainer -- The Webp issue was sort of the best case for Pillow. It was high profile and embargoed so it was on our radar days before the patches dropped, and it was a drop-in fix for us, so no code changes required.

With the work that the other maintainers have been doing recently to streamline the release process, it was pretty quick to do the packaging for the point release. (~ 50+ binary wheels, on combinations of pypy, cpython, musl, osx, windows, linux, x86 and arm across the supported python versions)
UPenn is in the news again. Something tells me the fish stinks from the head.
Hey Jeff, I loved the video. I know it was more about "current state of the tech" and less about what we should actually be buying, but it would be very cool to hear more about how each of these setups are priced on the scale of "dollar per unit of performance" or something like that. (Or maybe that's not fair to do, since most consumer software can't handle all those cores yet?)

I'm also curious whether you think Apple's decisions on memory architecture (despite being non-upgradeable) will have a leg up in the long run. You mentioned that memory bandwidth tops out around 174GB/s. Although you handily beat the Mac Pro in a multicore benchmark thanks to core count, one of the Mac Pro's claims to fame is its memory bandwidth of 800GB/s, as well as its unified memory architecture.
While there may be a decrease in religiosity over the last few decades - a large part of the world still believes in some form of a god or gods. No use in insulting a large swath of society.
Ask HN: Is Chrome no longer displaying full download link in the Downloads page?
After installing the latest Chrome update, it seems that Chrome no longer displays the full address of every downloaded file in chrome://downloads/. Instead only schema and hostname is displayed (like https://news.ycombinator.com). Is everyone experiencing this as well, and how to roll it back?
They also choose what those A/B tests present, and it's not free from motivation that's often misaligned with the users' best interests.
This is not a real suggestion to have no spy agencies, right?

Is every other country going to follow suit? Would you have the US disband their military as well? Or should they just deploy it without any sort of intelligence gathering?
Fascinating, thanks. I'll check it out.
I don't believe God is in outer space, but I do believe He exists. There's plenty of practical evidence to support it too. It's getting old now, but Lee Strobel's "The Case for Christ" is a classic that does a good job at investigating a lot of this evidence.

I think you remembered it wrong. Going from pop-ups was earlier than modals. Pop-ups were supported by things like window.open() which has been around forever (perhaps NetScape 2.0?). In contrast designing a modal requires some slightly more recent CSS like absolute positioning (I believe CSS2 so still within the previous century).

How dependable are you on your google account? What if Google would block your account and make you pay if you don't go trough enough ads? It has already started to force you to disable the ad-blocker. So, I think that could be a next step.

With this blocker however, the ad is still loaded and played but it's skipped. So, you don't see the ad but Google, hopefully, still counts it as an impression.

I'm seeing all kinds of dark patterns emerging on google apps. In Google Play, the new notification indications (the bell icon with a number, supposedely indicating the number of new unread notifications) that are just ads. Still in Google Play, when you search for apps you get the sponsored ones on the top with the install button like it was a search hit. And of course, youtube that is just a bunch of traps all over.

I know they've thrown away the "Don't be Evil" motto long ago but this? This is just going the opposite way in full force and being in complete a$$O1e mode. I am sure I've seen malware applying less agressive tactics.

They are just not taking care of their product (their users) very well.
Following and being a leader, with status, from a far, is also a form human connection.

Religions have already for centuries scaled that, mostly by being an idol & not getting personal. Whether that's a priest, or a Tibetan Lama, they normally don't mingle, they do this be not being "authentic" but by representing an idea or principle.

That's what a lot social media "influecners" are trying to accomplish. And what personal branding attempts to do.

Is it wanted? Probably not. But it's definitely somethng that connect to the human psyche.
Some day it will be seen as a ridiculous thing like Tulip Mania, except in this case it requires much more smarts. Also we needed a ton of STEM smarts to prevent a climate disaster, oops.

Being more pedantic, turboprops use gas turbine engines to power the propeller. "Jet engine" is incorrect when referring to gas turbine engine other than turbojets, such as turboprops, turbofans and turboshafts. Turbojets were the first variant of gas turbine engine to be put into use so "jet engine" ended up being used as a common term. Modern "jet planes" often use turbofans for their greater efficiency at similar performance levels, but "fan plane" sounds silly. The M1 Abrams uses a turboshaft engine but I've never heard it called a "jet tank" (which sounds badass).
So what he's saying is a monitor that adjusts brightness to ambient light like a cellphone screen solves the problem?

OpenBSD’s position is far from unique. It’s shared with MacOS (and iOS).
I was specifically looking at when an email is open. There's 9 menu options. Move To and Change Labels do the same thing, and it has a UI element on screen already. There's also Mark Important which is apparently different from star. Consolidate Move To/Change Labels and move help to the bottom, and everything should fit on top.

Then there's another menu below that with 8 items, 4 of which also already have UI elements. Give the other 4 icons. There's plenty of space on the show pictures line.

You need a menu for label filtering since the user can create many, but let's look at settings. There's a mostly blank screen with a ... menu with 2 options (why is it sometimes hamburger and sometimes ...?): manage accounts and help. Just put them on the screen. Now look at general settings. Enough stuff that I have to scroll, but for some reason 4 of them are in a ... menu. Two are the same as the last screen, with clear search and clear picture approvals added. Now go back to settings. Suddenly settings has all 4 options in the ... menu! The hidden options on the same screen are different depending on where you were before, when they could all just fit on the screen.

In general, scrolling is much faster than clicking on an icon. Lots of web UIs (e.g. navigation menus) could benefit from just putting the links at the bottom.

You can't escape the cat and mouse game. I'm pretty sure that if this method caught on youtube would come up with counter measures for it as well. Right now, I feel like between ublock, newpipe, and yt-dlp I'm pretty well covered for ad-blocking. Maybe this method will get picked up and added as a fallback option in more mature projects, but I can't advise installing add-ons that don't already have a long and solid track record.

Why are diesels so uncommon among piston aircraft, it's almost always avgas? Is it just "because that's how it's always been" or are there actual engineering reasons diesel are inferior? Cursory searching suggests it's mostly this inertia.

It'd be especially useful if they could run on regular jet fuel, then turboprops/jets and pistons could use the same fuel infra.
And yet, Verstappen plays them all the time and is also world class in sims. Maybe there are more similarities than you think.
50 lines of elisp.

I tried it just now, and it seems like what it does is that every time I press space it scrolls the buffer so that I am at the top and only see the current line I am editing. Does not look as nice as that fading out editor, but maybe it is functional enough. It would be more like that other editor if it would show at least one or two previous lines of text.

Well, isn't that marketing? "engineers ruined this word... they should be doing more of that"

Maybe have roles and realize engineering is hard enough, same with marketing. Unless you are a tiny team, the point of teams and organizations is to divide responsibilities such that every person can do what they do best. Engineers are often bad at thinking how to reach an audience and get feedback from them (i.e. games where devs didn't listen to their player base).
People are just not literally-absolutists. They believe literally exists in a continuum.

That means they disagree with you on the definition of the word, but it doesn't make it a synonym of figuratively.
Sadly it's not just academia either. I've seen brilliant innovative engineers get buried because they don't spend the requisite 75% of their time managing the bureaucracy of large orgs.
I'm not saying that we are not generating print information. I'm saying that we have a very low signal to noise ratio to the point that even if we do have a lot of information the chances that the 'good stuff' will be preserved are getting smaller by the day to the point that it will be essentially drowned out by junk unless we take special measures in the present.

When I say a few hundred lines of javascript (and I'm no fan of javascript) I literally mean a few hundred lines of javascript. No frameworks. No complicated server logic. Just CRDTs and a hybrid logical clock (written in fifty or so lines of JS) and a server running a little message bus...I once heard JLong talk about this and demo'd the capability to a military contractor in an office in old town alexandria and they thought it was hilarious. In just a couple crappy javascript files I was syncing data offline between twenty five different clients regardless of internal system clock speeds (I used a laptop that was running hot and had a fast system clock) or other bullshit. It was magical. And all of that was ran through SQLite. I even used some SQlite PostGIS-like extension during the demo. So yes, sqlite can be distributed in the purest sense of the word.

The point I'm trying to make is when you have any tolerance at all for hard no things like lead, it only extends the Overton window of regulation so far, to the point where you're allowing for a defense when it needs to be an absolute liabillity. Lead intoxication (both acutely and chronic) is an absolutely castastrophic public health problem. It has to be absolutley unacceptable and legally made to essentially be indefensible where it can be objectively proven a chain of events flows from commercial activity of defendant company to the inclusion (or failure to remove it from) the product and seperately for any harm that results to customers.

If no company can legit handle the liabillity aspect then it needs to be like nuclear weapons and "handled by the government" even though that opens its own range of potential issues. That is the least-worst arbiter and threat actor who handle's other such things.

A guy I knew in high school got that movie on VHS (around 1993/1994-ish). I remember watching at his house after school once, but then later we had a falling out because he was in the cool alt-kid crowd but I wasn't allowed to dress in the "uniform" so he decided I was a poseur.

Ahh, high school. Grew up in the semi-boonies so it was when I first got introduced to loads of cool music and movies pre-widespread internet access, but kids were still dipshits.
Most of the existing gas station infrastructure is poorly suited for EV. Not enough room and owner operators can't afford superchargers (~$250K a pop in LA).
