The second one the author had in mind is almost certainly IPO.

Your (1) isn't a pot of gold in the colloquial sense of "suddenly finding a life-changing amount of money". Running a profitable business is ideal, especially in a post-ZIRP world, but it almost never culminates in a single "all my hard work has paid off, I can take it easy now" moment like IPO or acquisition.
> build enough housing like almost every country except Austria and Singapore

What makes you say Austria builds enough housing? Have you looked at buying property prices in Austria? Way too high for the average income.
That's a good summary: someone else has paid for the roads, but won't for the rail.

Sounds like hell, and the CEO is an asshole. Anyone who falls for that bullshit is crazy. But whatever. Young gullible optimistic folks are free to burn themselves out and waste a few years of their limited lifespan making some sociopath his billion dollars while getting paid a wage and some magic beans that might turn out to be worth damn-all.

Sorry, that wasn't my intent. It was more to point out that bad programmers are surprisingly inventive when it comes to write bad code. New languages are an improvement, but not a panacea.
Even with global warming you cannot expect the north around Canada path to be open every summer. It will be closed most of the year even in the best case. Maybe you can attempt it some years but it isn't a reliable route worth considering.

I believe both Panamax and Neopanamax lanes can be used by most container ships. The Neopanamax lane can accommodate the biggest new container ships in addition to that.
Ask HN: Non-Code Dependency Language?
I have had this idea to track non-code dependencies like database tables, files, external APIs etc.

I am curious if there a human/machine readable language that can represent these?

Big picture, I would like to have a way to track many dependencies across repos to know if something changes, what is impacted.
We have partitioned the developer experience too far. We need a full stack stack.
Don’t create new objects, instead use stack and/or unmanaged heap.

This reduces the expressive power of the language, for example LINQ from the standard library is probably out because based on the delegates which require memory allocations.

Still, the language is very usable even without GC allocations. For example, that library re-implements a subset of ffmpeg for Raspberry Pi4 running 32-bit Linux, with no memory allocations in runtime: https://github.com/Const-me/Vrmac/tree/master/VrmacVideo

That's just the tooling keeping up with the times. The Chinese don't do this by hand either.

Basically. If you brought back manufacturing to some parts of America it would likely lead to economic growth. Instead we have the offshoring to cheaper countries.

> You come up with some topological order of states in abstract state-space

If the state space is "subsets of V", then it's exponentially larger than the set of states actually visited in Dijkstra's algorithm. Dijkstra's algorithm has an invariant that the vertices visited have a smaller distance than the vertices not visited. For vertex sets that adhere to this invariant, there's clearly a topological order, but for arbitrary subsets of V I don't see how this topological order would be defined.

I guess my gripe is that in my view, the framework of dynamic programming is not a useful way to analyze algorithms that explore a small set of states in an exponentially larger state space.

If you don't need to sync with mobile, then adding your `notes` directory to IDE projects is a great solution. I've been doing that for a long time.

Eventually I switched to Obsidian for mobile support (syncing with free 'Remotely Save' plugin using S3). There are 2 other features of Obsidian that I came to appreciate over time:

1. Daily Notes

2. Calendar via Full Calendar plugin that uses your daily notes as one of event sources. So I can freely mix my Google Calendar 'official' meetings with my personal timeslot allocations for current day.

It is possible to have both of this features in IDE too, but with Obsidian they come for free.
For years, I had the same experience you're describing. Writing CSS felt more like guessing than anything else.

A few weeks ago I decided that enough's enough. After years of writing CSS, I decided to refresh my knowledge with an intermediary level course. It turns out, a lot of stuff got mixed out, a gaps formed and grew over time.

Now, I enjoy writing CSS again as I find it more predictable and behaves as expected.
Low-tech or traditional methods don’t mean they’re inherently better for the climate or environment though. The Victorian era coal smog was very low-tech and yet we can probably agree that it would be a bad idea to return to that.

like if they called it “trash-burning monthly” it wouldn’t be surprising that you open the cover and find that’s exactly what’s inside, but it’s also not a good thing to encourage even in a hobby sense, really. And there is a lot of the world that has done some pretty awful things environmentally for a very long time.

If it makes you feel better I have hobbies that are environmental disasters too. I don’t feel great about the knowledge that mercury/chromium/selenium intensifier or pyrocat exist, even plain old fixer isn’t great (although people will take it since it’s full of silver and worth recovering).

(In film, this will bind to the un-fixed silver and help pull a little more in, or even strip the fixed silver and re-precipitate another metallic salt instead. Obviously takes a pretty aggressive reducing agent to bind to precipitated noble metals, so more aggressive the action the better it works… and those agents also love to bind to your nerves. So it’s pretty much literally “the better it works the more poisonous”. Mmm, organometallic chemistry, isn’t it grand?)
Nope. But if you don't use a closing tag and put, say, an <img> tag below a <p>, the image will be child of the paragraph. Perhaps that's not always what you want.

It was my biggest concern about the topic in this thread, which I thought was "how dangerous the left can be" to switch I wanted to reply basically "the left poses no danger except to itself" which honestly was never controversial (look at the subtext Life of Brian, it was always a trope of the lefts). But for some reason you have to frame the whole thing as if I was doing victim blaming.

I surely didn't mean that was my absolute biggest concern out of all concerns. Please apply the principle of charity when interpreting other people's words.
Disclaimer: I work at Microsoft on Postgres related open source tools (Citus & PgBouncer mostly)

Microsoft is heavily investing in Postgres and its ecosystem, so I wouldn't be extremely surprised if we would do this. We're definitely building things to combine AI with Postgres[1]. Although afaik no-one is working actively on query generation using AI.

But I actually did a very basic POC of "natural language queries" in Postgres myself last year:

I could have been more specific -- I meant the currently common lossless formats of GIF, PNG and TIFF. In other words, I was just thinking about lossless image compression available to the average user.

It's true there are newcomers. WebP is slightly more advanced in lossless mode but still follows the same basic Lempel-Ziv principles, and I've never found a good explanation of how JPEG XL implements lossless mode but that hasn't gained widespread adoption yet anyways. HEIC is sometimes advertised as having a lossless mode but it doesn't really (its "lossless" is really just "maximum possible quality lossy" from everything I've seen). And obviously there are lots of niche/experimental codecs that work along different principles such as what you describe. And PNG does have a special mode for solid-color line art that references the previous row.

But the average person encoding a photographic image losslessly is probably using something based on Lempel-Ziv probably 99.99+% of the time -- not something built on top of spatial correlations.
The water tends to pool at the bottom of the tank due to gravity. Source: former gas station owner. At -40 C the bigger issues are: pump lubrication, metal becoming brittle, shrinkage of parts made of different metals causing friction and wear (but this does tend to heat up the mechanism!), electronics malfunctioning. That's why we had very old pumps without any electronics at all and those functioned very well in deep winter, as long as we had power (for which we had a backup diesel generator). Not a single lost day of business in the four years that we owned that station. Far more modern stations nearby on highway 17 were doing much worse.
There are whole genres of games that use procedural generation to build levels. Level building then becomes a meta task of designing tilesets and algorithms. Some games work well with generated levels, some do not. Categorically saying you can skimp and just use noise is a bit absurd.
Just a note that Alberta is not a poor province, and in fact has the highest GDP per capita of all the Canadian provinces. (Nunavut and the NWT have higher GDPs due to their large mining sector combined with tiny populations.)

We also have the highest electricity bills of any Canadian province.

The issue in Alberta is corporate grift and a hegemonic government that has a revolving-door arrangement with oil and gas companies.

In my country a plurality of our citizens voluntarily and enthusiastically contribute to a state-sponsored humanitarian charity in which they all flush a billion post-tax philanthropic dollars down the toilet about once every 3-5 weeks, by handing it over to a random nobody who promptly disappears from the face of the Earth along with the rest of their family, and the process starts all over again.

The name of this bizarre giving tradition is called The National lottery, and we actually have several going at once in case anyone feels they aren't being generous enough.

We _can_ have nice things, but most of us want this instead.

It makes sense that we'd see temporary taxes, surcharges, and the like to upgrade the existing system. The question is: How long is "temporary"?

In the US, a century is NOT out of the question for a "temporary" tax:

> The Spanish-American War has been over for more than 100 years, and now so is the tax imposed in 1898 to help fund it.
As of Tuesday, all phone companies selling long-distance phone service are legally required to eliminate the 3 percent federal excise tax on long-distance service, which had been established in 1898 as a luxury tax on wealthy Americans who owned telephones.

If you seriously think that the US Democratic party, as compared to leftist parties in Europe, is closer to Walden Pond than the Atlantic Ocean in terms of leftism, then you and I clearly live on different planets and we don't have enough common ground to have a useful discussion.

In fact, historically speaking, even the US Republican party today is closer to the Atlantic Ocean than Walden Pond in terms of leftism. What today's US Republicans consider "conservative" would have been considered so far left as to be radical to the US Republicans of the late 19th century.

There's dehydrated backpacking (or emergency) food that's pretty tasty once you boil them.

The emergency kind you can get in big tubs at Costco: https://www.costco.com/chef's-banquet-one-month-emergency-fo...

The backpacking stuff you can get many places, like REI or any outdoor store.

Some brands: https://mountainhouse.com/collections/camping-food-and-backp...

https://backpackerspantry.com/

There's also meal replacement powders like https://huel.com/products/huel-hot-savoury (these are more nutritionally balanced but not as tasty IMO)

If you have a food coop nearby, they'll usually have dehydrated soups in bulk too. Some, like split pea soup, can be very protein rich and calorie dense. You can also get dehydrated textured vegetable protein that tastes like nothing, but good in a true emergency I guess.
Sea transport is cheap but slow. Mexico is much narrower than the US so they can potentially be faster than the Canal without adding much more costs. Going LA to the east cost is done, but has more expensive land transport. So this could be a useful compromise. If (big if that I have no confidence in, but still possible) Mexico puts in great sorting they can also take containers from on ship and sort them into several others to various ports on the east coast.

Is it worth it? Hard to say. Sea transport is cheap, but not free. There is a lot of opportunity to reduce the costs of move switches by automation. However thee biggest advantage to this really only an come if they can sort containers to different destinations.
I don't know why USB support is so bad on Android, transferring thousands of small files is unbearable. Maybe some devices have better support? Maybe it would work better if I used ADB?

You're wrong. The California Supreme Court, for example, has said so explicitly, for the general case. That leaves the question of this specific case, which nobody here is qualified to judge.

Either way, tech is in California, and she's definitely going to lose out on opportunities because of this. The good news for Brittany is that a bunch of companies will try to hire her right now purely for clout, so she'll be fine.
As a contrary perspective, a language which enthusiastically welcomes patches from anyone is likely to degenerate into an incoherent mess very quickly.

Language design is difficult. Features interact in complicated ways. Fixing mistakes is tricky - you break existing code.

Forking D sounds fine. It's easier to start with an implementation than to go from scratch. Ideas which work out well get to have a existence proof when proposing them to the original. Ideas that crash and fail don't add to the debt of the original language.

I hope the fork goes well and this proves a net gain for the original ecosystem.
Funny, I actually prefer my own carrots, or home-cooked meals for the matter. Thanks for the idea. Probably there are several further aspects that are “better” today: cheap electronics, access to information, etc. To me, these amenities however seem rather optional compared to having a roof over the head.
Right. But none of what was said earlier is in there.
I take your point, but that requires long-term planning and alignment of a lot more people and organisations, all of whom have their own messy incentives.

I'm trying to think of solutions that can be mostly built by the private sector and deployed with only modest legislative changes.

I had a Honda Hybrid in Northern Ontario and it took a lot of planning to keep that car working during the coldest period of the year.

That equation works for friction between idealized solids. Tires are not even close to an idealized solid, they deform as more weight is added to them, so the contact surface area increases as more pressure is added.

That is why you see racing cars with big fat tires, because it's more grip and the relationship is not linear.

They're much easier to cook. Pour hot water in and wait a few min and that's it. If you were to make pasta, sauce, toppings, meat etc. individually using only boiling water, it'd take quite a while and probably not taste very good.

Shrug. Just tradeoffs between cost, time, health, convenience, and taste, like most food.
