I buy 5-lb bags of adzuki beans, mung beans, garbanzo beans, black beans, and lentils, soak about a half cup of each all together overnight, rinse twice a day thereafter for a few days, and microwave on 30% power for about ten minutes along with some beetroot, sweet potatoes, and/or whatever else I want to add. Sprouting the beans reduces cooking time significantly, thus saving you fuel- they cook up at about the same rate as the beets- and they're more digestible. Once your guts adjust to that much fiber (if they aren't already) you'll be just fine.

I add all sort of things for taste, and prefer diced apples, green olives, and raisins. Raw red cabbage, diced, into the mix right after it is done cooking softens the cabbage and adds sweetness. Cauliflower is sweet, too (as are beets, turnips, parsnips, carrots, yams, ...). Another upside is that bulk dry beans are not costly.
Sprouted lentils can be eaten raw, but I've read to avoid eating raw sprouted white beans- I don't remember why.

That's my recommendation. Good luck over there.
Maybe it's just beneficial to move web developers to a different catalog? So you have the web developers who mostly chase new or cool frames/tools, prefer dealing with human problems than machines problems, and other developers.

It's a bit of a wild interpretation that the author claims that making driving unpleasant is an effective way of reducing carbon emissions. The second quote seems more a wry observation from someone who has disdain for wealthy people.

And of course you can cherry pick the one or two positive notes from the article but then you'd have to ignore:

> the CO2 emissions from fuel production and combustion are not praiseworthy

> Nobody in their right mind would propose a switch to cars fuelled by plastic waste.

> The car is not a pleasure to drive, at least not regularly. It is dirty. Its interior stinks of plastic, which cannot be healthy

I'm not sure how this could be an overall endorsement.

Thank you, that’s a useful explanation. I suppose, in that sense, the way corp dev operates between businesses is the same way that diplomats and business envoys operate between nations. The public role is about developing new opportunities but there’s a good amount of intelligence work (spying) going on at the same time.

Man, whenever I am reminded of the old forums I can't help but get nostalgic. Nowadays, it's like a good piece of the internet is replaced with dopamine-inducing social media apps and gated forums (e.g., Reddit).

I don't know why I still hang out here on HN, maybe mainly because it reminds me of the old forums...
What technical benefits?
All other things being equal, that's true. All other things are not equal though. The 4000lb+ vehicles often have worse visibility, so you have to pay more attention to make sure a kid didn't wander in front of your truck while you were waiting to make a right turn.
No. One form of transportation doesn't have to exist for everything. Rail is the long haul and trucking is the last mile.

Autonomous trucking should start out with its own dedicated part of the highway between distribution centers. We are trying to build autonomous driving to accommodate our current road structure which humans currently drive on. A dedicated / isolated lane with sensors, etc should be the start. Start small and then you can expand after getting feedback data. Everything is always so costly and unattainable because everyone wants to implement it with the current infrastructure but its not needed.

For reference we already do these types of dedicated lanes with ezpass express or HOV lanes.

Could the "better than expected" aspect be partially because once the car is travelling there is heat generated within the bottom of the vehicle from both the engines and the battery use. Presumably that may warm up the area to a higher temperature.
This is all mostly orthogonal with the feasibility or even desirability of fully self-driving vehicles.

For commercial vehicles (taxis, buses, delivery, trucking, etc) they are a real solution to cost and productivity, which could potentially have ripple effects on private car ownership, parking space, etc. For private vehicles they can free the driver who can then do something else like you would in a taxi or public transport.

For instance, if cars drive themselves then the operating costs of a private car and a taxi are the same so we could imagine that taxi fares would drop. Now if indeed people work from home more and don't need to drive everyday then perhaps not owning a car but insyead to summon a self-driving taxi when needed would make sense.
Briefly: yes, you generate lots of temporary arrays, but it is not slow because it often allows the use of vector instructions and parallelism, it can be faster than a constant-memory loop that does not take advantage of vectorization or parallelization. Also note that most array language implementations reuse temporary arrays a lot doing in-place modification when possible.

If the necessary temporary arrays are really huge, array programmers will just do the computation in chunks that fit comfortably in memory.

I’ve been a T2 diabetic for 14 years. For the first 8 years I was insulin dependent and bought into the dietary reqs provided to me at the time which was “grains and fruit are good, just push insulin to manage glucose”. I realized that every month it was taking more and more insulin to manage my blood sugar. I shifted my diet to higher fat and low carbs and was off insulin completely within 3 months and within 6 months my A1c was running low 5s

YMMV of course, but at no point eating the approved ADA diet and pushing insulin was my A1c ever below 6.5. Since eating low carb and no insulin, my A1c has never been above 5.4

I wonder if this a similar process the human brain goes through im certain 'normal', but still very extreme circumstances like excluding certain out-group members.

AS3 derives from the ES4 proposal, which honestly felt like a bigger shift than Python2->3 transition. In fact, AS3 came out after work on ES4 already ceased, so in my understanding, "the JS we know today" won even before AS3 came out.

Also referring to
Brendan Eich's comment in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25388721 :

On the other coast, you don’t leave dense burbs anywhere between Boston and DC. Therefore Boston is part of the NYC metro area.

This is a sore spot for me. Ancestry.com is where I found my birth family about 5 years ago. My adoptive mother gave me a DNA test for Christmas, and the whole family took them. Then, my father loaned me his credentials for his All-Access Ancestry.com account. Through that access, I was able to build a family tree for my birth family that goes back to the 17th century. Perhaps not entirely accurate in all those generations, but it's a start.

Unfortunately, as soon as Ancestry mandated MFA for all accounts, I lost access to my father's. This was a good thing, because we weren't supposed to be sharing in the first place. But I also lost access to all those tools for research.

To add insult to injury, there are no export tools for getting your data out of Ancestry. It's a roach motel. So the only hope I have is screenshotting or printing the most important stuff, and rebuilding it somewhere better. I don't know where to go at the moment. I certainly can't afford service at the level my father is paying for Ancestry.
It would also be an incredibly bad idea.

As usual, the underlying issue is a lack of government regulation and enforcement (and thus the fault of the people). And, frankly, most people don't care about these problems because they're abstract (to them) and the price of goods on the local multinational corporation's shelves are what they really care about.

I personally spend an awful lot of time being careful about what I buy and who I buy it from. Most people even if they have the resources to do so and spend 2x-5x the low price will just refuse to do any research in the first place.
RISC-V is quite fast as far as whole-platform emulation goes, but yes using it for plugin code is a bit weird, WASM would seem to be preferable for that use case. The interfacing story of WASM is not quite perfect (you're limited to a C-like baseline API/ABI, since the WASM components standards is not finished yet) but it's not like RISC-V is any better.

Obsidian. Total game changer. Obsidian sync is completely worth paying for as well - firstly it helps support the project but also its slick, so well made, and easier than all the hacked together GitHub / s3 / whatever workarounds.

From a content point of view I personally find having structure but not too much structure is the way to go. A bit of yaml if needed but just a gentle “daily notes = meeting notes” (on my work obsidian) and “daily notes = journal” (on my personal one), a few tags but nothing too rigid or cumbersome.

Omnisearch is the dogs nuts plugin too, and a couple of others but again, keeping it quite minimal has really worked for me.

It would be a useful tool in a post-apocalyptic scenario:

> During the Second World War, many motorized vehicles in continental Europe were converted to drive on firewood. That happened as a consequence of the rationing of fossil fuels. Wood gas vehicles were a not-so-elegant alternative to their petrol cousins, but their range was comparable to today’s electric vehicles. In Germany alone, around 500,000 wood gas cars, buses, and trucks were operated by the end of WWII. An even more cumbersome alternative was the gas bag vehicle.

> Nowadays, there’s much less firewood available than in the 1940s, especially in industrialized regions. So, what would be the solution to the disruption of gasoline or electricity in the Third World War? Dutch designer Gijs Schalkx found another fuel supply, which is abundant: plastic waste.

Can someone explain why the tiny risk of death associated with Boeing's safety issues matters at all compared with the far greater risks that we take for granted (driving, etc.)?

I don't get it. It seems like we all make riskier tradeoffs whenever we buy a used car instead of a newer, safer one, or when we buy a slightly less safe new car instead of the safest new car. By not spending more on a safer vehicle, we're saying that we're willing to trade a certain amount of savings for a certain amount of risk.

How much more are we willing to spend to make aviation safer, when it's already so much safer than driving?

One argument I've seen on HN is that most car accident deaths are preventable by a responsible driver, while passengers have no control.

Ok, even if 99% of car accident deaths were preventable, that leaves 1% that are unpreventable. 1% of the ~35,000 car accident deaths in the US each year = 350.

Compare that to ~zero commercial aviation deaths/year in the US over the last decade or so.

If we include Boeings 737 MAX overseas deaths, that adds ~350 deaths.

Look, it sounds like the price of skiing has increased a lot and the market is not that competitive. (The relevant market from an antitrust perspective isn’t “ski resorts” though - “winter recreation” or “general outdoor recreation” are much more plausible.)

To blame Vail Resorts for high housing costs is just stupid. Any ski town in Colorado could make it easier to build housing. They don’t. Nor do the non-ski-towns along the I-70 corridor. They all make it extremely difficult. Assign blame where it is actually due. Vail Resorts may be loathsome for a lot of reasons but don’t blame them for housing costs.

That's an interesting project, going to keep an eye on it! I have a hobby/DIY project involving sending several hundred UDP packets per second to various ESP32s across the house (driving LED strips live based on music playing on my PC). Much to my chagrin, the ESP32s tend to choke/get stuck quite frequently at higher packet volumes, and I've not found a good way to debug the issue further. See [1] below. While I haven't crossed the bridge of leaving the comfort of the Arduino IDE for flashing the ESP32s, trying out/beta-testing an open WiFi stack (once available) that I know I'll have a chance to thoroughly trace/debug would be very enticing.

[1] I did find out so far that my WiFi setup occasionally "clumps" packets, causing like 10 packets to hit a given ESP32 at an instant (instead of a few ms apart) - not great, but should not be disastrous. However, this seems to cause the ESP32 WiFi stack to just slow to a crawl: It responds to pings much slower (like, in 100+ ms range) (to my surprise it actually responds to PING requests out of the box in the first place...) and/or doesn't really process any more packets in general if I continue sending at the same rate as normal. But backing off on the packet stream usually gets it back on track, strangely enough. This also happens if I do nothing in the main loop except clear packets as they come in, so it's not in my code.

Sorta. The Alberta Electric System Operator mentioned that there is an increased risk of power needs not being fully met in 2031 to 2039, in part because of some power plants being decommissioned near the start of 2030 and uncertainty if when their replacements come online (2036 to 2039) as well as uncertainty for of EV charging habits and rate of adoption. But also uncertainty but the major industries that consume a huge amount of power as well and how the power generation industry will react to demands imposed by that.

That being said the key word, "Uncertainty." They're the first to admit that they really don't know. Too many factors to consider, and these are some pretty smart people that do this for a living writing these reports.

Now that it's warming back up a bit, here's that update:

It was mostly okay. It kept working even with the -20c windchill and was always putting out heat.

It's kind of subjective but I feel it struggled a bit eg the 'room' temperature shows a degree or two below the set temp. It never felt cold in the house (but a bit cooler?)

The sensor is probably in the control unit which IS in the hallway over the garage (and that side of the house always seems a bit cooler) so take that info with a grain of salt.

> The problem with rail is that most businesses don't want a whole train worth, and removing just a single car from the train is hard.

You don't need to remove cars from trains. The transportation world has been moving around shipping containers for almost a century. Shipping containers, also known as intermodal containers, were designed specifically to simplify the task of moving arbitrary units of cargo between modes of transportation, which includes to/from trains. You just need to drop them off on a flat car, take them from A to B, and then drop them off to handle the last mile.
Docker is not reproducible, you just apt-get install what you want hoping that the RUN commands get you a version that is still compatible with your software and doesn't break anything.
