It is interesting how previous pesticide usage deeply affected the whole ecology of the island.

As a result [of the pesticides], there was a noticeable decrease in populations of butterflies, dragonflies, bumblebees and beetles.
since the chemicals were discontinued, the Maldives’ native insects are flourishing again.

“These natural pollinators are now back in abundance, which means there are more flowers, more fruits and more produce,” says Oines, adding that more fruits and insects also means “there are also more birds visiting the shores of Kunfunadhoo and fireflies are once again spotted at night.”
Your comment is pretentious because it implies I haven’t studied the history of industry, which I have.

I was answering to the prompt, because the parent comment said “then there's no reason to be proactive about safety.”

I pointed out some logical reasons. And it’s not based on feelings like how capitalists “see” people.
I would say SolidJS does everything better than React while keeping with the same general mindset. React spent way too much time worrying about DX to the point that now DX is really bad.
Fine grained granularity is such a breath of fresh air to work with after the very large and very heavy brush that is the React “render the world every time anything changes” method (yes they try to be smart about it, but so far haven’t succeeded, the next compiler might solve it, but then we’re back to a black box of incomprehensible code soup to debug).

It could be done in some strictly moderated way (in the sense that comments don't appear unless approved). So that not being done shows that basically HN doesn't want job posts to be discussion items in any shape.
Personal postage and large commercial shipments seem unrelated to me. Moreso if the former is via a government delivery service and the latter is via a private company.
So does listening to enjoyable music or viewing an impressive art gallery. I assume you're talking about glutamergic activity in populations in the shell of the nucleus accumbens. (edit: after reading the paper, https://www.nature.com/articles/tp2016256 , I was correct).

And that's funny because in the incentive salience theory of addiction, which they cite at the start of their paper, the nucleus accumbens populations don't encode for wanting, those populations encode for liking. The actual voxels of the brain this study should have been watching would be the ventral pallidum and ventral tegmental area. Those are necessary and sufficient for wanting(craving). The nucleus accumbens is not.

You'd think the director of the National Problem Gambling Clinic who cites the incentive salience theory in his first paragraph would actually take the time to understand the neurological correlates of the theory he's citing (but then again, "It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it."). This lack should make you question the other aspects of this study.

Like how a 19 person MRI studies might as well not be studies at all in the neuroscience sense. They're for getting more funding to do a study with actual statistical power to make inferences. And note that in the actual paper they don't call it addiction, it's gambling disorder.
There's a really cool setup at CuriOdyssey in San Mateo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16vZjWb5n6E&t=1s

My son can spend hours just waiting for planes landing in SFO.
While this project is cool, it always makes me uneasy seeing these Dads being used as a source of truth.

Dads may or may not know more about plasma than an LLM. In any case this kid can now ask both Dad and Robot Dad and compare the answers. That's pretty cool.
Any time I've participated in a technical interview as an interviewer we've had the candidate have full access to a computer and web browser.

I don't expect everyone to have everything memorized or get it right on the first try, but if you don't even know what questions to ask or what resources to confer with, I'm usually concerned if the candidate will be a good fit. The candidate can't be expected to instantly warp to the solution but they need to show they can begin to find the path.
I wasn't suggesting it was the cause, so much as a contributor. There's a general sense that the odds of CC increase as the colony becomes more and more stressed.
Seems like a pretty cool option. Towards the end of my time there (6 years ago this month) we had moved our development environments from local RHEL VMs to hosted Amazon Linux VMs (or you could just get a macbook and do it all on there), and I thought it was a net-positive change. I think it's a good idea to expand the system more broadly, and sell an integrated hardware/software product to make it easier to use as a less technical user.
I find that they can work very well with state but since state is typically passed via attributes (downstream), it means that components can only share state with each other via strings. I found this to be an advantage, not a drawback because simple interfaces are at the core of my coding philosophy and strings make it infeasible to pass complex instances or functions to other components.
You know, children's advertising in the 1980s and 1990s was heavily researched by psychologists and economists with the explicit goal of manipulating the emotional state of children to get them to bother their parents for toy purchases. I don't have any books or articles off the top of my head, but I've read several articles and analyses of how the pacing, pitch, and coloring of advertisements intended for children were designed to be as stimulating and upsetting as possible. There was also research put into when during the day and year you could play these commercials to the greatest effect, and the advertising slots at certain times were priced higher in response to this.

It is possible that this doesn't harm children. However, the deliberate injection of emotional manipulation and disunity into families with young children in order to stimulate the purchase of toys doesn't strike me as particularly good for the nation, and I don't know that I would have to think very hard about my decision if given the option to prevent it using the law.
Assuming this is all true, what then makes the Japanese Shinkansen economically viable?

If all things are a trade-off, what would the trade-off of adding sum types be?

> All these things are a trade-off;

In some cases the trade-off is so one sided that its hardly worth the conversation. If everything is a trade-off, do you feel the same way about indenting your code? Or structured programming - aka using if/while blocks instead of gotos?

I think I'd confidently say that indented code makes everything simpler. And if I were given the choice, I think I'd choose structured programming every single time. I also don't often find myself questioning my daily choice to use high level languages rather than writing assembly directly. What else? Mmm... functions? I like those.

I feel the same way about sum types. They feel like an obviously good idea. Try as I might I can't think of any reason not to have them in a language like Go - except, as I already said - that they are another thing to learn when getting started. Having sum types and generics also makes it much easier for the type system to support optional types. And that makes it easier for a language to do away with Hoare's "billion dollar mistake".

If you disagree, I'd love to hear what you think the downsides are.
There's currently a study underway that took 100 people who have been on a low carb high fat diet for, on average, over 4 years. These people had a large increase in LDL when switching to this diet. All participants had CT Angiograms, CAC scans, and other tests at T-0 and after 1 year. Some in the study had LDL levels seen in Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia (>350mg/dL).

A matched control study with this population and the general population is also underway, with the initial results being presented on Dec 8th at the WCIRDCD Conference.

If LDL is independently causal of atheroscelosis/CHD, it should be seen in this population.

If it's under a sync utility, it's not really a copy. The point of a backup is if something happens to one copy, you still have the other copy.

If you have sync enabled, then if the cloud copy gets deleted (e.g., account compromise), so does your local "copy".

So GP's point stands.

(This is also why Syncthing, a Google Drive "replacement" of sorts, is careful to point out that it is not a backup)
That's compatible with freedom of speech. He's not censoring it, but he can show damages from misleading speech.
There is sewage in X, sewage in your city, and sewage in your home.

X is what you make it to be. I spend little enough time on it that the small amount of content I do consume from it doesn't offend me.

What I have noticed is the vast amount of criticism of X during the FB Threads rollout. Unsurprisingly, it's dead. Threads has no reason to be immune to the alleged dysfunction that's seen on X. My theory is that it would be no different had it been able to attract sufficient market share.
One of the best purchases I have ever made is my Brother laser jet. I’m still on my first toner cartridge after three years. It works every time and never complains or updates.
DIY is probably the worst option from the business perspective or AirJet.

The market for that is minuscule, and they likely can't make a solution that works universally for every laptop.
One time my Zelda II cart glitched out and the veil was pierced: I could see the life and magic meter sprites including their movement when either gauge was depleted.

This reminds me of something else. When I was a kid I wanted to create my own Mario game. One of the ideas I had was to have an optional, additional sprite I called "The Chunk" that would be used for auxiliary character animation; for example to make Princess Peach's hair flutter when she jumped or ran.

Well, my supposedly kid-genius self wasn't so original after all; in Super Mario Bros. 2 (the Doki Doki Panic derived one), the playable characters do indeed have a Chunk: a small white rectangle that moves around with them, layered behind the character sprite, and provides the sclerae of their eyes.

I'm actually still working on that "Mario" game. It has Mario-like platforming physics but completely different premise and auxiliary mechanics. Something like the Chunk is used to switch the game's terminal screens from red (normal state) to green (hacked state).
I work on a ruby/ts/js codebase and seem to recall different file extensions having different line lengths. Something like that is annoying but at least it's more consistent within the file extension

Nonsense, if your tweet includes swear words of any kind (regardless of whether the sentiment expressed is positive or negative) it will be quietly hidden and your placement score will go down.

Edit: Pointing this out seems to have upset some folk.
That was my first thought. But if it’s not connected like a belt it physically can’t replace any electrons it loses.
It is objectively much worse now.

Which is natural when you effectively disband the safety teams and allow all previous banned accounts back onto the platform. Also where as Twitter at least tried to comply with codes of practice, X has simply just given up.

Also a lot of it has to do with Musk being the face of the platform and endlessly trying to start culture wars.
There is no sense in assuming that Tesla is more important for Nato than a Swedish participation in Nato. And it is also wrong to equate striking workers to the swedish state. This is on par with authoritarian states not understanding that people have their own will in a dempcracy.
I mean, it's not actually. It's just a somewhat unusual transcription (well, originally somewhat unusual, now obviously it's the official English name) of what might be more usually transcribed as "Gojira".
> There is a question where evil ends and insanity begins. Totally self-destructive actions such as this strike me as insane.

That gets nebulous though. Even a murderous schizophrenic isn't evil. Failed military offensives that end in your execution aren't the product of insanity. Firefighters aren't insane for running into burning buildings. Self-destructive actions can be rationalized. Whether you agree with the rationale is not the point.

Like terrorism, school shootings are intentional and initiated to do as much damage to others as possible, usually in response to some personal grievance. There's always a shitty "reason" for it.

Insanity--real insanity--would be more like sending a pipe bomb to a random daycare center for absolutely no reason whatsoever. There is zero predictability. Nobody did anything to "deserve" it.

I've seen some kids try to play at "insanity" by doing shit to people for no apparent reason (and being all "tee-hee I'm so insane lmao #murder"), but when you dig into forensics you find they researched the eventual victim and only engaged once they say or do something objectionable (the new face of "hate crime," perpetrated by the types most likely to call others out for the same). This is not insanity, it's very-calculated evil.
This is a regionalism in parts of the US, which I’ve seen described as Pittsburgh and its surroundings.

I come across it often and struggle with cognitive dissonance every time - I know of the regionalism but it feels so strongly like a glaring grammatical error.

I see/hear the specific phrase “needs fixed” most often.
To you perhaps, but not to universal postal service laws...

""The universal service obligation (USO) is the core of the Postal Services Directive (97/67/EC, amended by Directives 2002/39/EC and 2008/6/EC). This is the requirement that letters and parcels should be delivered to each home or business premises, on 5 days each week, throughout each EU country (with exemptions)."

Tesla has a right to postal service in the same way as everyone else.

Brother printers are not good at all, in terms of image quality and such.

Brother products are roundly recommended because they don't put asshole chips in the cartridges. Brother printers do have fake counters that indicate out of toner/ink, but those can be reset easily and they are not tied to cartridge chips.

In spite of this, the devices are cheap, comparable to their competitors whose low prices are subsidized by the ink racket.

There are a number of advantages you get by deploying cloud computers instead of physical ones (like laptops), and most have nothing to do with fairness. The ability to control what gets installed on them gives you obvious security and performance advantages, as well as allowing you to quickly and easily 'service' the computers (restore them to working order by loading a known good image). Disallowing employees from downloading data to devices in their possession also reduces 'leaks' of sensitive corporate information due to carelessness.

I've never heard of anyone making a 'fairness' argument about sending out laptops, though I wouldn't be surprised if someone somewhere has made it.

In this case it was specifically intentionally misleading (something they have logs to prove), and weaponized against the business of X itself.

Clearly different from some random internet person saying something controversial or unpopular.
My whole point is that it is indeed incredibly reliable, but only because it is undergoing constant maintenance 24/7 by trained professionals.

Take the humans out of the loop and it falls over by itself very soon.

There is no situation where, say, one of its dependencies goes away and lots of smart people don’t engineer a fix ASAP. This was in response to someone expressing concern that the grid is dependent on GPS. It’s dependent on a lot of things, one of which is probably Home Depot. If any of those dependencies go away, we will re-engineer the dependency tree, because it’s not operating in a vacuum. It’s resilient and reliable because it is staffed and continuously engineered.

A ridiculous amount of effort has been made to clean up the city even going so far as to make the Seine swimmable by athletes and the general public. Not sure of any major city where that is possible.
430 lines of overly verbose BF to boot. You could delete 1/3rd to 1/2 of them by simple tricks the author hasn't used for readability reasons.

It's not the worst language if you're willing to work within the constraints and frankly, more readable than a lot of C++. My own editor (written many years ago, no meta interpreter) was 113 characters.
Scientific fraud: science as we have never seen it
I wrote crimp and solder. Not solder.

Take a look at these:

Crimp a wire in it. Look at it from the connector side. You'll see the bare conductor inside the connector. That's where the moisture gets in. Heat shrink tubing won't shrink enough to cover that. Wicking solder into it will seal it against moisture and corrosion.
I will go with 0-1 in whatever numerical system you have implemented, assuming only positive numbers.

> so you'd permutate the input domain and then query DNS?

Correct, we're running on resource-constrained lambdas right now and hoping to have some breathing room to expand on this soon. We want this to be the most accurate, point-in-time analysis of your domain so we want to push for this to run and scale rather than trying to tap into [expensive] data feeds.

> any caching mechanism in place? IMHO it'd be good to add some intro/info on the homepage.

Definitely, we had this prior with Cloudfront. As we're running on HTTP/2 stream, we simply cached the response and replayed it at the edge. We recently added signup/signin which complicated this so we've disabled it for the time. We're going to re-include it using Lambda@Edge shortly.

Right now we're just giving access to more results after signin. We'll include CSV exports, some detailed results for free to help analysts. We're exploring premium features where you pay for recurring alerts about your domain with report history. Happy to hear what you feel are features you'd be happy to have included (and perhaps pay for?).
That is somewhat true for a low-profile account. When mostly reading.

It is a lot less true for a high-profile account, which is receiving tons of replies and other interactions, where the sewage swamps out and flows towards you.
Yeah, this was my thought as well. Not sure how accurate this article[0] is, but it says the trailer to power-unit(tractor) ratio is around 3-5:1.

One interesting thought though: if these trailers could implement thrust vectoring and other safety measures(like adjacent vehicle detection), it may be realistic to run longer trains than can be done with dumb trailers that tend to be unhandleable beyond 2-long. This may effect a reduction in the trailer pool ratio, increasing efficiency even more.

I grew up in the Columbia River gorge and I remember driving alongside triple-trailer pulls and it was terrifying to attempt passing them when the wind was gusty. I'm confident everyone that frequented that corridor could regale you with tales of being almost run off the road by one of these behemoths at least once.

I would rather say that Twitter had a sewer, but you didn't have to climb into it if you didn't want to, and it mostly didn't back up into everyone's homes and onto the streets.

The new mayor of Twitter/X has decided that he likes the smell of his own shit and that everyone else should be forced to experience it, so we get piles of vapid idiotic blue check marks dominating discussion rather than the comments that are considered best by the crowd.

Despite all the shit flowing in the streets, it can still be somewhat avoided, and there is valuable information on Twitter that I can not find from any other source. High quality curators of information about computational biology, energy, housing politics, etc. do not have as large a presence on any other social network yet. I just need to avoid any viral tweets or anything from the "For You" or trending topics, and I can avoid stepping in the worst of it.
Grr, another one. We've inmiced the title above. Thanks!
They stop the line because they can’t just materialize a worker out of thin air, not because they feel sad.

What exactly do you imagine happens?
The “oh, just don’t buy a GPU from NVidia” point is one I see made a lot when discussing Wayland’s failures, but it completely misses the fact that CUDA is currently the only viable option for GPU compute in many situations. If any significant part of your desktop usage involves such compute, that’s not a solution - or rather it’s a solution that renders your system less capable than it was before.

Though in a sense that’s consistent with Wayland’s general “you’re holding it wrong” approach of shifting blame for any problems onto the person reporting them and concluding that anything that doesn’t work well isn’t a valid use-case anyway.

I have the same with starred places on google maps. Sometimes they're there, other times they're MIA. Super annoying.
I got a MBP from Goldman Sachs and when I left they refused to pay for mailing it back, which was irritating because it's also activation locked to their IT systems and is therefore useless to everyone. I would say that not all companies want their obsolete client systems returned to inventory.
