Incompletely. This faces a similar issue to much of the bottoms-up air quality work I've been working on.

Listening means that:

(a) coverage is limited to receptor area, so proximity is required (proximity bias)

(b) the inhabitants have sufficient volume to be heard (frequency bias)
It's like Israeli forces are pulling a slow-motion Hiroshima in Gaza, but using conventional explosives. I bet the raw tonnage of bombs dropped is already a sizeable fraction of the 20 kiloton TNT equivalent dropped in Hiroshima. The published civilian death figures are probably gross underestimates, given is impossible to do proper rescue operations in such environment.

Reported happiness seems like a poor metric for comparison when the concept itself may be rather foreign to someone in the past. If your life is mostly hardship, you may not spend much time being introspective about how you feel about your plight. In a life of luxury, you have nothing but time to think about it and find things to critique. So, you may have an objectively better life, and overall more happiness, but report it as unhappy because there is more that you want to do that you feel should be achievable. Compared to someone who couldn’t comprehend their situation ever improving, so they. There is no basis for comparison of what it means to be happy between different life experiences.
The side effects are only mentioned in the first paragraph of the article. I wonder how many people have died (or suffered considerable and possible lasting harm) as a result of colonoscopies performed during the period of the investigation and who were otherwise healthy.

This is not secret information, people are just not likely to perfectly time the market (just like in financial markets).

I would have to try it but my feeling is I would be just as productive.

Of course this is related to creative work, like coding, writing, design etc.

Fallacy

There's no way I'd see anything I download for free otherwise. I don't even have a TV, and I'm not getting one of those spyware shit boxes any time soon. The thought of subscribing to some service which leases content to me in exchange for paying them back indefinitely is a joke to me; I'll never do it for anything.

If they sold DRM-free digital movies and shows, like they do for music (and sometimes books), it'd be a different story. I like to own files and store and play them however I want. I don't pirate music because it's easier to search and buy it DRM-free on an online store.

Also, "digital piracy" makes as much sense as "digital murder". Piracy is robbing people of physical goods because pirates can't copy them for free ad infinitum. If they could, we'd be in some post-scarcity paradise, where "piracy" wouldn't even have violent criminal connotations. And what we're trying to do is impose the same tyrannies of physical scarcity on the paradise we have in cyberspace. Because of a fallacious urge to get more $$$ (in a specific, paranoid business model that ironically decreases your sales)! :D

A not for profit dating app is a genuinely good idea. If you decide you’d like to pursue this and would like some help, I’ve got experience starting/funding a not for profit and I build software for a living. I’d be a heck of a good slave to a project like this.

Dating is a hard market because if you solve the problem, your users churn. Consequently, for profit dating apps operate in this weird space were they need a certain amount of successful users to help with acquisition, but if the success rate gets too high it’s a bug. I can’t think of many problems where solving the problem can be a product feature but a business bug.

A not for profit might be able to flip that.
I agree. Fortunately IDEs can fill this gap by displaying parameter hints.

In 2020 Tesla overtook Toyota as the most valuable car company, which is of course ludicrous and stupid. But Toyota probably took a note at that time about the importance of PR puff pieces.

But indulging in PR puff shouldn't be the reason for outright dismissal of the ammonia engine. One thing that's undeniable is that Toyota understands cars, and particularly what kind of cars we really want. It knew EV's short range would be a problem (hence the plug-in hybrids which I think are the real winners -- you can actually get by without ever going to the gas station if you're just commuting for work, but yet you can still go on long trips no problem... there you go, Toyota solved EVs).

Toyota has working prototypes of ammonia engines, they seem to work, they do not emit carbon-based emissions and are highly efficient. It's built a good product and it knows how to scale and I expect it will -- but it also needs a working infrastructure for ammonia supply and needs to do PR work to pave the way for that. Ammonia is a decidedly good and clean energy source compared to current generation of batteries that are made from relatively finite resources, source their electrical power from questionable places depending on where you are, and some small question marks still remain about the accumulation of battery waste as EVs gain popularity. I, for one, am excited to see ammonia-based technologies for energy store and fuel.
I was just recently watching a movie from the '70s, and couldn't figure out why specifically the fire looked so amazing. It was called Sorcerer. Turns out, they actually blew up a bunch of stuff, including a stuntman.

I highly recommend people watch the film and then read about it's production after, as I did.
I’m looking at this on a smartphone screen. The design and fonts are way nicer than HN (which is unimaginative and ugly in comparison). But the fonts on your site are also small and the link/buttons (for collapsing comments) are small and difficult to tap or click, just like on HN.

It would be great if you could build on this, make it more accessible and get it to work for replying, voting, flagging, etc. I like how the main comments are separated as cards.

With more third party efforts like this, maybe one day YC can be shamed into making HN look better and more accessible.

To everyone here, this is how a confident person with a healthy dose of self-esteem feels and behaves like (with a pinch of salt as this depiction is a bit idealistic).

To @mvncleaninst, not everyone has the same emotional strength and tools to cope with these sort of situations, and trust me, I am not apologizing for mediocrity and lack of courage, I absolutely loathe when people try to excuse what's under their control with made-up stories, disorders and whatnot.

Depression is a real thing, some people have gone through real shit. An example, many people grow up in completely dysfunctional households, you have no idea how that can absolutely destroy someone's perception of it's own value. Same thing with poverty, a lot of people had dealt with both of these things and most likely many more. The wounds inflicted by these circumstances stay with people their whole lives, one cannot just "shrug off these things and carry on" as they have become imbued with them.

Life can break absolutely anybody; if you don't believe this is true, congrats. you've had it easy, so far.

Then they should be taught earlier to get wealthy and successful first, not married, and be ready to buy when timing the market.

I like reading content from Lyn Alden (website / newsletter).
i think the distinction exists in most languages - in the case of libraries you are trying to make things easy for callers of your code who's motivations you cannot understand; in the case of application code, you probably do have a pretty good idea of how/why people might call it or try to extend/maintain it.
Working in the automotive sector, I find it even worse. Sometimes “system” means an ECU (e.g. a radar sensor), sometimes the whole car, sometimes even includes infrastructure (cloud, other cars, etc). Sometimes it is just a software component within an ECU (e.g. the operating system).

If I could I would taboo the term. It conveys practically zero information at this point.
There are so many factors at play and even when we try, we can only control for a minority of them. The average measured quality of life has gone down for everyone. A little steeper for women than men, yes, here are just some alternative seemingly plausible partial causes for that:

- The patriarchy is still here, but we now expect women to have a career while simultaneously taking care of children.

- Decades of hypersexualized media put the emphasis on sex during dating over caring relationships.
Everyone knows that too. But obviously, everyone is not going to be wealthy, and everyone is not going to be “successful”, especially by their mid to late 20s.

The question is, what are you willing to accept, both of yourself and the other person. The big wrench here is when a significant portion of the market accepts being single and pulls out of the market. Now you have a fundamental mismatch in the number of buyers/sellers, which is a nearly unsolvable problem, without getting into things like restricting people’s freedoms.

Well, the attack on Israel was equivalent to 48,000 people dying on 9/11 and that doesn't include the kidnapping of civilians.

You're giving numbers from Telegram which isn't exactly a reliable source either.

I'm not a fan of the bombings. Every alternative seems worse though. It seems that far more people will die on a widespread ground invasion. A ceasefire is a ridiculous option, there are kidnapped hostages (children and elderly) still held by the Hamas. The Hamas is still firing rockets at civilians on a daily basis.

What would you do in this situation if you were the Israeli government?

They murdered and kidnapped children. They are fanatics who won't take anything less than the entire country you live in. They hide behind civilians and literally placed their headquarters under a hospital.

Every option sucks and it's going to get MUCH worse.
> Chats are no substitution for IRL human interactions.

I agree with everything except this.

There's people I've had a deep relationship with online and when I met them in person there was nothing. Really weird. There is actually so much subliminal communication in chats just like in real personal interaction. It just takes a lot of experience to pick up on it. And getting to that point with someone is certainly not quick or low effort :)
This was a long time ago, but I think you’re correct. If the system didn’t recognize you, it asked if you wanted an account. I only used the account for a year or so, mostly to access some mailing lists. I assume it died of neglect.

The web demo I remember was only creative mode the survival didn't work properly or something. There were sponge blocks that would soak up water. I also had my son play the demo. I bought the dev version not long after. My first world was snowy because randomly some seeds would be set to a winter world. This was before biomes or even the Nether.

The game had many issues in the early days. Falling through the bottom of the world because there were holes. I remember people in the forum complaining that their creations caught on fire because Markus made lava burn things instead of just being decorative and then there was one patch which made chests explode if you opened them. I still play sometimes but it just doesn’t feel the same anymore, most likely due to nostalgia.
Back in the 1990s I spent a long time playing with Tierra (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tierra_(computer_simulation) ) and actually wrote my own distributed version[1] so it could run over multiple machines (computers were really slow back in 1991), and a simplified instruction set. Now I know that Tierra has a number of serious shortcomings compared to real evolution. Nevertheless it does really surprising things if you let it run long enough and then examine the cells that evolve in the system. Some cells become parasites, some become really large. I also saw really surprising optimizations happen spontaneously that I wouldn't have thought about.

Anyway given that the real thing has been running for 3 or 4 billion years, I'm not surprised that it has generated incredible complexity.

Strongly agree! At least if you’re wealthy/successful and alone, you have options, and is better than being poor and alone (imho). Relationships should be complimentary, not a critical component in one’s survival.

There are 8 billion people in the world. With enough resources, you should be able to find someone somewhere to enjoy a time window of partnership or closeness. Accumulate resources, which gives you options, which leads to freedom (including freedom to find love [or your idea of healthy companionship]).

Almost but not quite. Mac sandboxing is optional and doesn't eliminate the signing requirement because Apple see it as a way for app authors to reduce the impact of vulns in their app, not as a way for users to run untrusted Mac apps.

Therefore there's no GUI to see whether an app uses the sandbox or not, or what permissions it requests, and apps can statically request any permissions they want and they'll be granted silently.

Apple do this because their vision of solving software trust revolves around vetting people in the app stores. It's still very much code signing and identity based.

Of all app platforms, only the web attempts to let people run arbitrary malicious code without risk.
I’m not too familiar with cppfront and the other new “c++2” projects but I welcome anyone making C++ nicer to use.

AirPods Pros and iPhone, same issue with the minimum volume not allowing a low enough volume. I want it to be quieter on the low end. I have a lot of issues with my AirPods and they are some of the best I’ve used, unfortunately.

I’ve also experienced the other issues in this thread about headsets switching modes when the microphone is activated. I had a pair of Bose noise cancelling headphones and original they worked nearly perfectly but after a firmware update the bug I updated for was fixed but it made the loopback from microphone to headphones always on. Why can’t they make any “perfect” headphones and why is this stuff seemingly so hard?
Seems like why not, but I guess the "typo squatted" domain is a bit creepy/questionable.

I use hckrnews.com as an alternative reader, I guess no shame in having a different domain.

Lots of purely technical things which have no impact on user experience take over old technologies.

The issue with IPv6 is that it has no visible impact on users -_and_ it's a major paradigm shift in terms of complexity and addressing scheme compared to v4.

Every year I secretly hope some major consortium with traction release "IPv4 2.0" with 8 bytes and get done with it.
Stupid question as I never worked on something like this before: why isn't reproducibility the default behavior?
