Nevertheless, it raises the question of “how often is this relevant to me?” If I already know a person needs to be replaced or reelected next time at the polls, reading all the details is a waste of time and personal happiness.

Exists for a lot of banks in the US as well.

Many people had to go physically into a bank branch (half of them were closed) and show ID when BMO bought Bank of the West. Your cards and electronic banking didn't work until they were reissued, which required physical presence.

God forbid, you were traveling out of country.
Additionally, two feels like a really strange number. I would think three for a tiebreaker would be standard for any sensor with that much impact (no pun intended).
I think they mean that a lot of runtime of any benchmark is going to be spent in the C bits of the standard library, and therefore not subject to the JIT. Only the glue code and the bookkeeping or whatnot that the benchmark introduces would be improved by the JIT. This reduces the impact that the JIT can make.
Yes, and in this case the food is still free. Buy one get one doesn't make the second one not free. You bought access to the table and we provide free food to entice you into the purchase, but we're allowed to revoke the food at any time because you're not paying for it. It's like how mobile carriers will give you access to Netflix/HBO Max for free while you use them.
Just installed mini-splits this autumn in the Seattle area and am living my first cold days now. What I found out is that insulation is very important. Parts of our house has very poor insulation. Coolth escapes in particularly from the floor. Our house is over a 100 years old with insulation retrofits from the 70s. I have a friend in the same area which has a new house with mini-split and modern insulation and hers works amazingly. We will definitely be working on retrofitting the rest of the house with proper insulation next summer.

Living in a cold mountain climate you probably have a pretty decent insulation.
I'm not an economist, but I read a lot of what they write, and it seems like an established fact in the field.
Depends on who the person saying "elite"

In the UK it means anyone a speaker doesn't like. For example:

o Someone who lives in london

o Someone who went to university (50% of 18 years olds in 2017 went to uni)

o Someone who has expressed an opinion on brexit (either way)

o Someone who _doesn't_ vote

o Anyone with a house

the list goes on
That certainly makes sense!
Their preferred candidate didn't win, therefore...I would choose a different case to study, because this one disproves what logically exists…

Surely these ID checking services validate the passport/driving licenses with the issuing authorities, validate address through multiple sources etc.

The labor issue might be due to the seasonality of the business.

(The labor issue: 300,000 HVAC professionals in the USA but just 145,000 companies).

In fact, the business is initiated just two days of the year! The first hot day of summer and the first cold day of winter. When somebody's old system breaks and they find out exactly when they need it most!

So it's always an emergency, and always when it's very unpleasant to work outdoor.

Seems clear why nobody is going into the business. One of those 'dirty jobs'.

Maybe a business model that spread things out? Like, a contract to support heating and cooling year-round, schedules upgrades, does periodic testing to anticipate breakdown.

I imagine now it's more like folks that have snow-plow trucks, promise to plow out your parking lot after each big snow. They work just a couple days a year in Iowa, and have regular jobs the rest of the year. The companies are less than half a dozen trucks typically, with a huge demographic spike at 'one guy, one truck'
Good, we don't need it. We did (and still do) just fine when I could walk into a store with cash and buy something, or get a loan in person, etc.
> The law was written in a certain technical way

That's not how the law works.

That's why all those Sovereign Citizens don't get to make their own laws up, even if they may have found a technical out.

The spirit of the law also matters, beyond just the technical wording of the law.
Pretty interesting to have a list, but I was kind of hoping there'd be more information. The FAQ is a good start, and there's the link to wikipedia, but I was hoping for more insight than "Moai are cool. And video games are cool." More information that moves the site from a plain dataset to a more complex discussion. Just as an example, I was wondering what present day Rapa Nui people think of depictions of moai. Are there kinds of depictions that they feel represent/misrepresent their culture?
This article seems as out of touch about the real problems with journalism. All he observes is "much of the public does not see the value of what the profession and the industry has to offer", yet all he talks about is election coverage.

News outlets have crumbled under the profit incentive. Staff cuts, outlets shutdown or merged into larger organizations[1]. Some outlets have zero staff, and just publish stories sent out from the mothership, such as Gannett, and no local news at all.[2]

Maybe temporarily. Competition exists, the free market is real.
I feel like my ADD makes the soul-crushing busywork thing way more of a motivator. Half of what I do at work is just an upgraded version of the things I do to go really far out of my way not to do a thing twice.

There's another benefit, too. By "living in the system" and treating every part of the computer as something to manipulate, automate, and control, you get a more organic sense of the shape of the thing. It's a fairly common occurrence that I'll have a feeling that something ought to be different without really knowing why, and then later that feeling is proven out (this typically has to do with stuff like the shape of dependencies or the usage of tools in contexts that are a misfit, which then turns into ever-expanding kluges that should have been better design from the outset).

That said, try explaining to someone else on the team that "I dunno, just doesn't feel, like, nice".

PyPy is only twice as slow as v8 and is about an order of magnitude faster than CPython. It is quite an achievement. I would be very happy if CPython could get this performance but I doubt.
> The law was written in a certain technical way, and what's relevant here is whether it counts as 1 or 5 stores according to the law.

European judges don't really look favourable on defendants attempting to circumvent laws on technicialities - they also take the reasoning behind a law into account. This crucial difference is what many American companies learn the hard way when they try to bulldoze their way through European laws.
Boeing MAX 8 crashed twice, but not in the US. Those hundreds of deaths will optically disperse into the generally worse air safety record of the Third World, but the mechanism had nothing to do with the usual Third World problems; it was a software error made by Boeing.
Helpful for a significant portion of readers in this case, but tough to make this a general rule without using some judgement. For example, it would probably be overkill to define "AI" in every submission.
To each his own, but the things you list are largely subjective/inaccurate, and there are many, many, many developers who use Python because they enjoy it and like it a lot.

PKMS, or the "second brain"

Basically anything I did prior to 3 years ago didn't really happen. I can't remember it, I can't find it, it's gone.

One day I needed to take some notes, and I knew I needed to remember these notes for a long time. Being autistic, I had to come up with a system. So I started a folder called `~/kb` and started shoving everything in there. Immediately I became dissatisfied with the disorganization, so I started using a hierarchical naming convention. Now I keep all of my files in this one folder.

For example, I have notes about Star Wars. The main note is `lore.sw.org`, but separate from that note, I have a note detailing the chronological watching order: `lore.sw.chron.org`, and `lore.sw.tcw.s1.e12.avi` is my legally-obtained copy of one of my favorite episodes.

As you can see, notes aren't the only thing that go in there. The hierarchical naming system (x.y.z.ext) makes it so that file-extensions are part of the hierarchy. Continuing with the Star Wars example, take the following two files:

- `lore.sw.ships.venator.org`

- `lore.sw.ships.venator.png`

See, they're named the same thing except for the extension. Years from now I'll know exactly what I named that one file, because there's only ever one logical name in my mind.

Part of what makes it so easy to name things is my use of top-level hierarchies. These include but are not limited to:

- archive (arc.)

- concepts (con.)

- film.

- game.

- groups of people (grp.)

- languages (lang.)

- lore I didn't create (lore.)

- lore I did create gets its own top-level node for each project

- people (ppl.)

- products (prod.)

- projects (proj.)

- school.

- self.

- social.

- software (soft.)

- systems (sys.)

- vehicles (veh.)

There's lots of other details, but I'll keep things short:

- any filename appended with `.agenda.org` or `.log.org` automatically gets used by org-agenda as an agenda file.

- occasionally I something to be in a subfolder inside ~/kb. These get named with the hierarchical system, with a `.d` appended (for example I keep my work from C: A Modern Approach in `lit.k-n-king.c_a-modern-approach.assignments.d`)

This has been the single biggest improvement to my life in general that I've ever done. I can actually remember things, make progress on things without forgetting everything, it's great!

> It has efficiency over 100%, because you get all of the electricity's energy, plus some of the outside heat.

To add to this, the typical efficiency is 300% or more. Since typically most of the heat comes from being "transferred" from the outside.
The majority (all?) EU countries have a government sanctioned identity system.

This isn't new. Any large aircraft is going to have hydraulically driven control surfaces. Where do you think the hydraulic power comes from?

> At the moment, the JIT is only used if the function contains the JUMP_BACKWARD opcode which is used in the while statement but that will change in the future.

Bought and played this as a "non-Computer-Science" developer and really enjoyed it and learned from it. It helped with understanding intuitively some concepts that I hadn't deeply understood.

I found it a little buggy or unpolished in places (like the scrolling/zooming behavior or how hint videos are only sometimes available) but that's a pretty minor complaint.

Well then, don’t use DJI stuff.

I’m pretty sure Apple will keep positioning their App Store as the official authorized way to get software for iDevices. I’m also pretty sure that there’s going to be huge inertia there and most of the apps are going to be on App Store still. So your ability to live in a walled garden won’t be affected much. Yes, some apps will move away from the App Store, and I suggest you to vote with your wallet and not use them.

I for one absolutely cherish the ability to install software I choose on the device that’s supposedly mine.
That's beyond ridiculous. Ken Klippenstein is a great journalist and definitely should not be suspended.
The causes seem two-fold.

One is that most people consume content in apps, so most creators create contents for that audience. TikTok, Twitter, Reddit, Facebook, YouTube, etc are where users are, so it's where creators put their content for visibility. Related to this is, I feel, the switch to mobile, where the more limited UX of the device makes it a LOT easier to just stay in the same app rather than type URLs or manage a ton of bookmarks. For many people who weren't computer literate in the 2000s, they find apps on their phone MUCH easier to use than a browser with mouse/keyboard.

The other is the huge rise of SEO spam sites. They dilute search results and waste time. Combined with the first point, there's now far less signal and far more noise than ever, so often looking for websites isn't fruitful. This creates the feedback loop: users aren't looking for websites, so why create content on websites?

EDIT: I'll add that I often think of StumbleUpon, which my friends and I really enjoyed using around 2010. It was enjoyable clicking a button and being taken to a random page on the Internet: a funny video, a deep dive on WW2, a quirky page devoted to someone's pet tarantula. The variety of topics and experiences you would encounter were much broader than what you'd see today, where most content follows the same patterns to achieve success for its respective platform. StumbleUpon could not be successful today.
I struggle to keep up with all the blogs and niche communities I watch. I spend too much time on websites (like HN). I rarely cannot find a good website about some subject—yes, there is lots of spam. I'm not on any social networks, or TikTok, or anything like that, so maybe I just never lost the connection this author can't seem to find. I don't agree with the premise of the article because it doesn't match my experience, though it's just my experience.
What?? Those aren’t the only options, the other option is that the device operate correctly…

Yes, because for every unit of energy you directly put into it (in the form of electricity) it outputs more energy (in the form of heat). Which is unlike any other typical heating system, which usually puts out less or at max the same amount.

>The Mac App Store should already be safe, as users are free to download and install apps direct from developers

Not a Mac user/dev here. If I am not going through the store, if I don't use xcode to sign my executable, won't MacOS force the user to go through cryptic command line changes to let them install my software?
Rifles can reach airplanes on the ground just fine, MANPADs have a habit of popping up in inconvenient third-world conflicts, and this whole idea that we need to have secure ATC comms and need to rewire our navigation system is still an absurdity.

Every modern airliner has dual-redundant or better GPS-aided inertial navigation systems, and every professional pilot is trained on procedures for flying in the airspace system after losing all their (multiple) radios. This is literally not a risk worth spending the millions/billions it would cost to mitigate, any more than Joe Average Internet User needs to hire a professional cybersecurity firm to secure his home Wi-Fi router.

For iPhones and iPads you're correct though.
A coin deposit is no more a mark of a bad neighborhood than having cart corrals in the parking lot -- like them, it is a way of reducing (or trying to eliminate) the amount of time employees have to spend collecting carts and returning them.

Yes, but it's a good list of the major problems, and laudable for a self-professed "stan" to be upfront about them.

It's my assesment that the problems listed in there are a cause why Julia will not take off and we're largely stuck with Python for the foreseeable future.
I can find official DJI apps on both iOS and Android. So they optionally offer an apk download, just like WhatsApp did for years.
Sure, but the work of typing out 1000 people's IP addresses as remotes and managing that sounds like a nightmare that should be offloaded somehow. Adding "ipfs" to the remote and having it managed by a system to push to thousands of devices (however many have cloned the repo) is much more concise and simple.
Unless it's changed recently, it's just a right-click and then Open on the app. Older versions let you select radio box in the Security tab in the settings app to allow all apps.

I think the silver lining here is that AI will force people back into the real world because a face-to-face meeting will ultimately be the only way you can be certain that you're speaking to a human being. That's not the worst thing. What's happening with social media and ad-driven engagement today may one day be recognised as a neurological catastrophe by future generations.

If There Are No Stupid Questions, Then How Do You Explain Quora?
For a ten year old article, it holds up remarkably well. Grant writing and academic research are typically divergent skill sets. Since research grants (the vast majority from DHHS, NSF, and DoD) have become a major source of revenue for universities, the most valuable faculty to a university are those who acquire grants, leading universities to hire faculty who will likely acquire many grants. These faculty select for similar students, and the cycle continues. Because pure mathematics research is intrinsically resource-minimal, the same paradigm doesn't work over there.

In a possible reflection of that reality, I have a strong feeling that, on average, university biology departments are housed in much newer and nicer buildings than university mathematics departments.
