> If wind would supply a more desirable 40% of (current) power demand, there would be three to four million tonnes of waste per year.

For comparison, New York City produces 14 million tons of waste per year. Doesn't seem as dramatic when put in context.
I showed that episode to my mother (who is a fairly avid seamstress) and she commented that he really needed to clean his fingernails. In the afterword he's added to his modern uploads of those episodes (which was fabulous of him to take on) he mentions that he received many letters telling him the same back when it originally aired.
Workarounds or not, the MacOS license agreement only allows two concurrent MacOS VMs on a single physical machine.

I’m sure you could patch qemu to use Hypervisor.Framework as a virtualization backend and then you could run more than two, but you’d still be violating their license agreement.

Apple are very weird about MacOS virtual machines.

Why do we still suffer through this nonsense.
One thing they did was hide close all tabs button behind menu. Because they thought users was too stupid and would press it accidentally... I think I'm just too smart to use Firefox as main browser... I absolutely detest people treating me as an idiot...
> The reason you are asving this is because git is so aweful at managing many tiny commits. So you work around it by squashing.

I don’t think the real issue is Git’s features. Even if Git had whatever additional features you wish it had, it still doesn’t change the fact that a history of typos and stupid mistakes isn’t very useful to anybody (especially in the long-run), and hence there is little or no value in preserving it; while a faked history which breaks the change down into logical steps does have some real long-term value, in terms of helping anyone who needs to review and understand the change in the future
Can someone explain this to us 35+ year olds? What am I missing?
Kind of. I've been thinking about it since I wrote that, and what I say and what I do are a bit different. I don't rebase when I'm done, I rebase as I go as a constant background hum.

So I start by creating a few empty-ish commits that are roughly analogous to the tasks you'd break a ticket down into. Then I create many small WIP commits, but in the commit message I note which task they belong to. So I might have two initial commits in a branch that say "[#123] Refactor foo" and "[#123] Upgrade bar", followed by a bunch of "[WIP] typo fix, merge against foo" and "[WIP] Preparing baz to upgrade bar". Then when I feel I've reached a point of sanity I pull the main branch, rebase my feature branch on top of it, merging my WIP commits as I go. Occasionally I'll even go back and split a WIP commit in half if there's a better logical mapping to the tasks.

If I haven't pushed I don't consider it saved, so I wouldn't like to rely on local-only tools in that way. I'd much rather push to a remote repo daily. It's not like anyone's going to see it until I raise a PR.

What do you do when you spot a typo ten seconds after you committed something? A separate typo fix commit? I prefer to merge it on to the previous commit. Nobody needs to run "git blame" and see "typo fix" as the last time that line was touched. It's noise.
Accessing YouTube in browser without logging in
I have disabled YouTube App in my android phone. I browse YouTube in browser without logging in. Still YouTube shows Hindi Videos on its homepage?..How does this work?
Ah, I may have misread it. I thought they were saying Parallels on Windows runs Linux fine.

But, re-reading it again, your interpretation is probably correct.
We need to make decisions about code and maintainability all the time. I don't see why this is any different.

What if you don't need a much more powerful desktop? What if you get more utility from being able to move the computer around at least occasionally?
It is a very nice bit of magic. I've been using it for years, and I don't think it has ever given me a false positive. Plenty of false negatives though, but it tells you. And then you just fall back to what you've been doing anyway. It is literally a tool that has removed a fair amount of tedium from my workflow.

My fresh install of Windows 11 definitely didn't have Hyper-V active by default. It had to install it and reboot to activate the WSL2 subsystem.

Now, to be fair, this was an install from a couple major updates back. So newer builds might have it active by default.
Dams are being removed for even less dramatic reasons: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dam_removal

I'm not sure how you got any of those conclusions from my comment. I was just curious why crypto didn't cause a blip on the graph.

Maybe you should calm down.
Excellent advice. I did that too, applied to Data analytics/Engineering companies where my DA skills would have clearly made a difference as a soft eng. Got the same rejections. My conclusion is that companies no longer believe in people with unconventional paths like mine. You either have a CS degree and a bunch of internships as soft eng or you are toast. Although I do have an engineering degree (not CS), I am stuck in the zone where I am clearly more than good enough to be hired but won't be because I don't have the perfect pedigree. It's just that people in bootcamps sell you this pipe dream that you can do a reconversion and in reality it is almost never possible. Maybe it was possible in the past, but right now it feels like an impossible task. It is very frustrating, being good at sth, knowing that if you get a chance you will become even better at it in a very short time, but never getting any chance to start. I guess that's life. No one will ever come to save you.

its greenwashing in the sense that its a convenient historical term used to mislead the average (contemporary) punter that its ok for the environment. so it has less emissions than coal, doesnt make it safe... just call it gas and drop the natural.

You can very often find fake seitan meats in natural food stores across the US. They're usually just reprocessed into something else (like a sausage or nugget). You can also get it in powder form in the bulk aisle.

If you want something prepared Asian/Buddhist style, 99 Ranch or a similar Asian store should have that. You can also get similar things online from Lily's Vegan Pantry (formerly May Wah): https://www.lilysveganpantry.com/Vegan_Chicken_s/1516.htm
Both the git log and git bisect commands accept the --first-parent flag, which eliminates the complexities of dealing with merge commits in the history.
> In my case, even tomatoes are often from a different country and then we export our own tomatoes to other countries too.

This can make a lot of sense as the seasons shift. Eating local is only efficient and sustainable if you're sticking to what's in season or keeps well. Long term refrigerated storage, water-sourcing and indoor growing to extend seasons can outweigh the costs of freighting.

In Canada you can find domestic bananas, but I can't imagine replicating the necessary growing conditions with woodfired greenhouses is better than freighting from the tropics (but I'll get some sparingly): https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/meet-the-farmers-growing-banan...

It's like if dropbox automatically exposed your files on the web.
OK thanks yes, that's the interpretation (/thing that undermines true selflessness) that I had (and had poorly worded in my comment). I suppose I thought I was missing something else that OP was implying.
I'm old enough to be able to say confidently that there were plenty of de-socialised people before 'technology'. I'm with the OP that is a 'social', ie: human nature, issue - those 3 things - but also a skill - especially in a work environment where you don't know your colleagues as well (points 1 & 2) and you don't necessarily have 'psychological safety' (point 3).

As a counter example, I've recently been following the 'rise if cardboard', specifically the evolution of magic: the gathering, because some young friends offered to teach me the 'commander' variant - it's basically managed conflict in a social setting - I have to acknowledge, they're more skilled than me - I'm learning more than just the gameplay.

There's a nice article 'power struggles among nice people' that's relevant too - because of the automatic effect this has on our language (cue Steven Pinker). I'm with the group that thinks we have large brains to navigate complex social environments - ie: this stuff - because it's hard.
Can you provide more details of what you're referring to? I understand the importance of an auditable trunk/production branch, but I'm having a hard time imagining why the sequence of commits on feature branches would matter in an audit.

The commit history is not an audit log, it's very easy to make it look like whatever you want it to look like, even if rebasing as such is banned. I have a hard time picturing a scenario where the commit history is trusted as an audit trail and it matters that every detail is present.
Consider it for how processed a specific brand of food is, rather than a general food. Right now most specifications don’t get more specific than organic, free range, grass fed, vegan, all natural, no preservatives, etc. I suspect the problem would lie in data quality more than deriving insights.

For example: a sliced apple is technically processed food, but what is it sprayed with?

> Daihatsu has confirmed that in the side collision tests of the [Toyota Yaris, Perodua Axia, and Toyota Agya], the inside lining of the front seat door was improperly modified, and that there was a violation of the side collision test procedures and methods stipulated by regulations.

Inside lining of the front seat door? That doesn't sound very significant at all.
> in the real world I don’t think Daihatsu cars have fared much worse than other manufacturers in crashes

It's almost impossible to know that without data, given the frequency of crashes involving Daihatsu cars (at least in the US), and the visibility of crashes generally - we don't know about 99.x% of them.
Terrible AI Arguments
It’s like that scare mongering about wind turbines killing hundreds of thousands of birds per year. It’s laughable when compared with billions of birds that _cats_ kill.

Any discussion of this topic is ripe with emotionally charged misstatements, I’m careful about taking anything at face value anymore.

Would you mind providing some “clear and internationally acknowledged” sources for the Korean War that stated it’s still ongoing or that Afghanistan was an undisputed loss?
The government of North & South Korea that I'm speaking of was Japan.

The government of North & South Vietnam that I'm speaking of was France.

Acknowledged on the undercount of U.S. casualties in Iraq. It doesn't change my conclusion, though.

There's a sibling comment by delecti that's making the point that I'm driving at: what is the goal of war? Is it regime change? Is it to sell arms? Is it to kill people? If it's regime change, war in general is a remarkably ineffective way of doing that - it's pretty rare that the victorious powers get the government they actually want, otherwise we would never have had to fight WW2. If it's killing people or feeding the military-industrial complex, the U.S. was pretty good at that in all the wars listed.

Incidentally, Vietnam is currently one of the most capitalist countries on Earth. So politically, the communists were defeated. All we had to do was let them govern the country for 15 years and everybody realized they didn't want communism.

> If there’s one language guilty of causing brain damage it’s surely JavaScript

Hahaha. I largely consider JavaScript to be the new BASIC - not because you can learn how to do some fun or useful things with it in an afternoon, but because it is ubiquitous. Web browsers are everywhere, and nearly all of them have JavaScript. A lot of JavaScript's quirkiness and inconvenience seems to derive from its web browser/DOM environment. (It's probably still easier to write GUI apps in Visual BASIC.)

Also: I'm still disappointed that Python 3 removed the print statement, so that

print "hello, world!"

is no longer a program that works both in BASIC and in Python.

Although Bourbaki was/were capable of being plenty pretentious, I think that it might seem less pretentious if read not as "from our lofty viewpoint, we can see that this is too tough for you," but rather as a very literal analogue of the road sign: "it's easy to get dangerous results if you traverse this territory without sufficient care."
Chromium is over 20 million lines of code. No Chromium fork is meaningfully different. Come back with that BS when Blink has 25% of its contributions coming from one of these Chrome skins.
Ah, you're doing the sourcing part, which indeed is the thing i-house recruiters are worst at (despite being compensated just for that!). Sorry I misunderstood.

With reference bonuses, I think most companies do appreciate having their employees do sourcing, which makes your observation that you can't get others to do it all the stranger.

> The drives have enough smarts to move safely around humans, communicate with nearby robots so they do not collide, and report any problems like spills or obstructions back to the controller.

The robots are clearly designed to fail safe if they cannot communicate with the central controller. It would be an extremely poor design to have them operate in an unsafe mode in the event of interference in an unlicensed spectrum (or even a licensed spectrum, for that matter).

Some of the worst code of my life, created 20 years ago when I was a teenager, today posted openly on my GitHub, was reverse engineered custom chat server protocol, as I wrote my own client to replace the Java applet. And to have logs.

The catch is... I didn't have any Internet connection. I was going to an internet cafe, logging onto the chat server, and chatting, while recording the connection with Wireshark.

At home, I'd print the hex + ASCII connection dump on my dot matrix printer, and used a highlighter and ballpoint pen to mark the fields of the message packet.

Then I'd code something around it, planned new tests, compiled a new version of the app and.... took it with me on a hard drive to the internet cafe to test next day, or next weekend.

I think I was way smarter and goal oriented than I am today.
Ask HN: How can I get the HN RSS feed in the same order as the HN front page?

A clown car is comically small for its use (the joke is that it arrives and clowns keep getting out, seemingly more than could have been inside). I’m sorry, I didn’t mean you as a poster, but someone else who is hiring professionals while under-specifying hardware they provide you. Storing source code is not a problem you should have reason to worry about.

The problem with “fix it now” is that I didn’t know for sure that our behavior was wrong, I just knew that a consumer of our microservice had begun alerting on errors. I had to find out whether this was a mistake (which maybe I could safely fix) or important and intended (and any change must be negotiated with other consumers). It comes with having an old, complex system with a lot of dependencies and without exhaustive documentation.

I have seen many Windows 98 machines in the last ten years. I saw one just last week connected to a giant robot in a factory. So, if you are looking for use-cases for 32-bit, there's the fact that some giant machinery relies on computers that will never be updated.

Last I heard, even the last BlockBuster in the US is still using old PC's to run their DOS software. They harvest parts from old computers sold on e-bay. So, if you have any old computers laying around, they might be worth something these days.

If the op premises partially is about when Rosette v2 no longer support, at least the older vm arm based macOS can run Apple intel App using the now current then obsolete Rosette v2.
