Sure, but that freedom means not doing any trade with your neighbours, not letting people from your country visit the EU (and vice versa), not importing any energy, etc.
I'd do just that. Start with the first, try to solve it in reasonable time. If you're stuck you can visit the subreddit. They're unlocked on each day at a specific time, but if you don't look up solutions there are no spoilers. You can also solve each day individually. As for difficulty, the first part of the day is simpler, and solving it unlocks the second - and harder - part.

But the story definitely builds over the 25 days, so there are spoilers in the later parts.

I separate my garbage and then the municipality uses the organic waste to create compost. I've visited the site myself and seen it (my ex worked for recycling company). The compost is then used to feed our shared green spaces, parks and flowerbeds, within the city. I do also have a separate compost heap for my building which we use to feed our community garden.

This practice of municipal organic waste connection actually dates back centuries. Anthony van
Leeuwenhoek, the father of the microscope, worked his day job in gathering organic waste in the locality, and some of his early experiments were based on inspecting this waste via magnification.

I understand that the trustworthiness of public governance varies from place to place but I can't imagine why a city would spend time and money on a project like this just to throw everything in a landfill.
> There seem to be a lot of hobbies or activities like beekeeping where people seriously neglect the animals' needs yet seem quite oblivious to it.

I’m sorry but what?? On what basis are you making this remark? Do you really think the generations of people who have researched and kept bees are all doing so neglectfully? Look - you may not like the way bees are transported for the almond harvest (which could be a reasonable argument), but that’s not what your comment indicated. Instead you painted our entire field - which is quite broad in itself - with a massive brush as though we are all neglectful by default. So as a beekeeper, I would challenge that your statement above is seriously out of line, especially as the rest of your argument is about an entirely separate field with no examples given from beekeeper - commercial or otherwise.
Show HN: Unify-jdocs – read / write any JSON path with a single line of code
Unify-jdocs is a Java JSON manipulation library which completely eliminates the need for model / POJO classes. Any read or write of a JSON path can be done in a single line of Java code. It can also eliminate the use of JSON schema as it has features to define a document structure and validate both the structure and values in a JSON document. You can find the details here: https://github.com/americanexpress/unify-jdocs.

We announced the first release of unify-jdocs in August 2020. Since then, it has undergone multiple feature enhancements and has been used extensively within American Express as part of the project it was developed for. We have had tremendous success with it and have been able to reduce the size of our codebase substantially, make it much easier for developers and improve maintainability and agility significantly. Unify-jdocs has been invoked billons of times in production and has demonstrated great reliability. The original post can be found here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24332382.

Reason for posting again – last time while submitting on Show HN, I listed the URL in the URL field and so this text of mine was not visible! And so, I try to continue to promote unify-jdocs.

This is a one-of-a-kind library in my opinion. Two features stand out – read / write any JSON path in a single line of code – and define a document structure and validate a JSON document against it – along with a host of other features. It makes life so much simpler for any Java project that deals with JSON documents.

For projects that deal with more than a few simple JSON documents, need to do transformations and change structure during project lifetime, unify-jdocs absolutely shines. It provides a much simpler way of validating documents as compared to JSON schema.

One counter argument which I have heard come up again and again against using unify-jdocs is around static / dynamic type safety. When we use POJOs, the read / write operations on the document are statically compiled into the app JAR file whereas in the case of unify-jdocs, these operations take place dynamically at run time. In my opinion, the benefits we get from using dynamic typing outweigh the benefits of static typing using POJO / model classes. Looking forward to discussing more. Thanks.
"Poisoned"? Or just more competitive? If you thought Half-Life was a "7/10" back in the day, what would you play instead? Quake? Unreal Tournament? Both were mainly multi-player games and not really a direct alternative.
Yep. Web development provides a more pleasant, if perhaps less exciting, way of life than gamedev. And you can still do gamedev in your spare time (you have spare time!)
If the entire difference between Japan and Sweden can be attributed to this effect (33x difference in rates of cancer according to the article) then you would expect to see the same difference in people sleeping on for example a latex or foam matress on wood slats.
Seems like this would be a huge discovery if a follow up study confirmed people sleeping on this kind of bed had 30 times lower rates of breast cancer. The fact there is no such follow up study makes me very skeptical of this claim.

Ask HN: Is there a solution for homomorphic encryption in Postgres?
I learned about homomorphic encryption a while ago. It looks like a great chance for SaaS companies because it significantly improves the security of its customers' sensitive data. I haven't found any existing postgres extensions or native postgres solutions supporting homomorphic encryption. Does anyone know of any projects being developed or already available? I only know about enquo (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33386921), but its documentation is not clear, and I'm not sure if it uses homomorphic encryption.
The progress the embedded world has made on FOSS has been incredible. I started in like 2016 or 2017(ignoring the ~8 years I played with Arduino).

At the end of the day, I end up often using microchip studio because that is my board and it just works nicely. However, I have tons of tiny personal projects I'll spin up with vscode and platformIO and knock stuff out. Heck, even when I was merely playing around with it, I was able to FOSS my way to building and sending everything with various software.

I cannot imagine embedded pre ardunio. You'd think it would have created a scarcity of workers.
> What should the rest of the world do?

Educate and help those who do not know? I helped setup my cousin’s NAS and gave it a subdomain.

What i meant by no surprises is: the backend and front end stays the same forever, short of me manually updating it. My server and their apps, will not suddenly lose functionality or have cruft added because someone in Mountain View deems so.

Key to making this work is keeping things simple. Meaning no container or any burying of my data under any layer of abstraction. My files are laid bare on the platter, making it very portable because any application that does file system operation can immediately operate on my files. Unlike the clusterfuck that is owncloud.

Every quarter I do an incremental offline backup of all the drives in the NAS, to address all the issues you mentioned.
The cheapest form of municipal composting typically involves yard waste (grass trimmings, fallen leaves, etc.). That all takes a tremendous amount of landfill space, and it's all somewhat uniform and predictable. It's partly why many suburbs have been doing separate yard waste collection for decades.

The reason they don't always want food waste is that it attracts animals that eat food waste (crows, seagulls, raccoons, possums, cockroaches, flies, etc.) and the composting is often done in open-air windrow heaps. Composting also works most efficiently when the ratio of carbon and nitrogen is in balance, and food waste is somewhat different than yard waste. It makes it harder to manage to get good compost quickly.

Fully agreed, but, to be honest, the following:

> So the route to better mental health is connections with other people... which you don't have, and you don't have the internal tools to build. Especially without fear of rejection.

MRIs do not admit the same kind of radiation that radio towers, TV, antennas, cell phones, and other devices do. MRIs admit magnetic fields. Magnetic fields alone.

And The typical MRI worker is not commonly in the magnet room during scanning; therefore she is only occasionally exposed to gradient or radiofrequency fields.

Plus, there are several regulations regarding exposure to fields from MRIs.

So this is comparing apples to bumblebees as far as health risks go.

I think the comparison is apt. If the goal is simply to make each individual feel good, then a chemical approach would seem far more efficient. If, on the other hand, you are concerned with society as a whole continuing to function, you should be concerned about people becoming less accustomed to doing the hard work of maintaining relationships with other people. And it is hard work, especially with romantic relationships. This stuff seems like the emotional equivalent of junk food. It tickles all the right parts of your brain in a way that healthy food usually does not, but it's not sustainable.
My understanding is you need to re-certify in some form upon changing anything about the code. I'm not sure if it's the same process each time or if you can do some kind of incremental re-certification for minor updates.

Either way, Microsoft can afford to do that if they want to. But I would (naively) expect the rules to apply to anyone who wants to modify the code base, I don't think Microsoft has any privileged position when it comes to that.

I bought a copy after graduating, having seen the serious-looking tomes on the shelves of many TAs and serious people. I was not a very good programmer and I thought possession of this thing would confer a magic aura that would make me look smart and maybe within its pages were incantations I could learn that made me deserve the appearance. I ventured probably past the first 25 pages. This volume and books like it are not for me, I just want to know how to do things, and a deeper understanding for me comes from doing and breaking stuff many times, over time.
Not really. It's pretty rare to use an RTOS without making _some_ modifications and it's intertwined with your application anyways. If you need certification, you're going to have to get it for the combined app/RTOS/RTOS-modifications anyways. And you're in better shape starting from a base that you know passes certification.

I don't think the "driving" hypothesis is silly, but it should also be pretty easy for a study to correlate driving habits to cancer rates. Has that never been studied?

Anecdotally, I just don't see many people driving with their arms hanging out of the window, or even with the windows down any more. Cars are all sealed up and climate-controlled these days.

Also anecdotally, I don't see people walking around with lopsided tans, although I realize we're talking about small differences here.

Also worth noting that auto glass blocks a significant portion of UV rays.

Excellent documentary. I suggest looking into the first part of Black Mesa [1] as well after the anniversary documentary, which is the remake of the original Half Life in source engine. The modders pick talk a lot about the stuff that the original developers talked about, and what challenges they faced in re-creating it.

> I don't see that happening today, to be honest, in "AAA" titles at least.

Thanks for adding that caveat; it's an unfair comparison IMO to compare the well-selling games of 25 years ago with AAA games of today. Half-Life was built by a team of about 80 people according to a quick Google, and there wasn't the ecosystem of tooling, resources and outsourcing that we have today, versus hundreds if not thousands of people (if you include outsourcing / engines / etc) for AAA titles today. And the modern day game devs will have enjoyed a relevant education, whereas back then those educations didn't exist yet. Notably, John Carmack did a lot of ground work in translating math into 3D video game engines; he was behind Wolfenstein, then Doom, then Quake, and the Quake engine was used as the basis for Half-Life's.

Anyway, 80 people is pretty substantial even at the time; for comparison, indie hits like Hades had ~20 people working on it, Hollow Knight's Team Cherry has just 3 employees (but they used Unity so they didn't have to do much engine programming, and the ports to various consoles was outsourced); Wube (Factorio) has had a few dozen people working on it. "indie" hit Kingdom Come: Deliverance had like 240 people working on it.
This is not natural science, but these scientists are doing the best they can to support their theories anyway.

I wouldn't consider myself an expert in non-natural science, even though I do understand some of it to an extent.

This fully explains the confirmation of different learning rates universally observed over the millennia, we're all just different degrees of slow.

Ok, so it seems that the Java semantics can be expensive in cases like 64-bits-wide pointers on ARM. However, pointers (object references) in Java usually only are 32 bits wide by default, due to using a compressed pointer format.

The idea of a smaller NN outperforming what you might think it could do by simulating a larger one reminds me of something I read about Portia spiders (going on a deep dive into them after reading the excellent 'Children of Time' by Adrian Tchaikovsky). The idea is that they're able to do things with their handful - on the order of tens of thousands - of neurons that you'd think would require 4 or 5 orders of magnitude more, by basically time-sharing them; do some computation, store it somehow, then reuse the same neurons in a totally different way.

Attempt at edgy take but only ends up justifying 'might makes right'
From talking to senior folks at tech companies, there's a real perception that, modulo the first few months of covid where there was not much to do hut work, productivity has suffered at their companies.

In other circumstances (eg MOOC discussions) it is not controversial that many people have self control/motivation problems, so it's not super surprising that being less visible leads to less output.

And while everyone likes flexibility as an employee, we are all familiar with the mythical man month and why saving some money on real estate or salaries doesn't help offset productivity losses.

As long as these two beliefs remain in place, remote work will keep getting squeezed out at places that see themselves as being in competitive markets where they need to bring their A game.

I hope I am not user 2. Innovation through war happens, but it happens faster if we focus on innovation itself. Also, the innovations that happen in war are predominantly weapon-focused.

It is good to be able to defend yourself. However, if you have a high belief that your neighbor will attack you, then it's a good idea to ask why. The answer is usually ideology or resource scarcity, more often resources or a combination.

If you solve the problem of scarcity of resources, then there is a much reduced desire for war. Climate change is going to make food and land more scarce, leading to more conflict. Population growth is going to do the same (though we're seeing some signs that might be self-limiting in some countries). If we poured into space colonization and climate change half the money each year we spend on defense, we'd stand a good chance at solving those problems. I don't have the math in front of me, but I think half would be about $500 billion per year, counting regular spending and special aid packages. That's 20x NASA's budget for next year, or put another way, 20 years of NASA research at current funding.

As I said, "MVC", model, view, controller - popular names. But if you've ever done MVC GUI programming, and MVC web programming, you find that the relationship is merely analogous. And even within both camps, there is such variety that I don't think you can fairly call MVC a single technology. It's a (very) loose pattern.
