> wind turbines slowing down earth’s rotation

Curious to be proven wrong, but I’d imagine they’d have no net effect.

The only thing I could imagine is a miniscule gyroscopic effect if the turbines were aligned, but that probably nets out through tectonic weirdness before altering Earth’s rotation. Maybe if the slower-moving air sinks on average and lowers the planet’s moment of inertia? (Though that would speed up the Earth’s rotation.)
Ask HN: Has anyone else found themselves using more screenshots?
I've been screenshotting a lot lately. It's really useful for sharing context. More often because getting ahold of an image is just three more steps than I want to take.

Today I wanted to download an image attachment in gmail on iOS, but it wasn't possible so I just took a screenshot and went on with my day. It's also the fastest way to copy an image after its been pasted in a google doc. Google is pretty aggressive about not letting people copy photos.

But I've also been using screen shots in weird ways. For instance, if I want an image to be smaller, I open the image, zoom out then screen shot. It's faster than opening a dialog and typing numbers.

I often screenshot text because copy/paste might lead to formatting issues and I'd really rather not.

It's gotten to the point where I often don't even think to right click an image anymore. So many sites do weird stuff, it's just faster to snip the screen.

Is anyone else falling into these habits? It seems funny to me.

I didn’t say the muscle was dilating, fyi. That was another poster.

I’m just pointing out that while it’s not technically correct, you can figure out what they mean if you look at the actual details.

The iris does have a sphincter and dilator muscle, unlike most of these because unlike most there is no common counter pressure to expand them. Well, no safe one anyway.

[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iris_dilator_muscle]

For examples of ‘normal’ sphincters and controlled tubes in the body, for instance, the rectal sphincter vs feces (propelled via the smooth muscle in the colon or pressurized in various ways), esophageal sphincter vs various ways stuff gets pushed or propelled through it, blood pressure against the arterial smooth muscles, air pressure via the esophagus into the lungs vs the negative pressure pleural space, the small and large intestine, etc.

If they relax, they no longer resist those forces, and hence the sphincter or tube will dilate.

This is also why various things tend suddenly leak out upon death. No ennervation, no tensing, sphincter dilates. At least until rigor mortis sets in.

Albuterol forces smooth muscle to no longer tense - aka relax. So any sphincter, tube, or duct that muscle controls will dilate if there is any force present, which there generally is - or the patient is already dead.

In practice there is always a loop. I believe the point flohofwoe was making is that with an immediate UI you don't have to even touch events in your immediate UI code (they are abstracted away, if needed, in a pretty clean manner, IMO), so there's no need to do anything to get a "sane event loop". I might be wrong about what's his point though.

It's fine if you don't like Nix on Mac. It's fine to not use it and to voice your concerns. But calling it a net negative for the world is uncalled for and in my opinion extremely disrespectful to the maintainers doing an enormous amount of work for free.

On another note: I am extremely happy with my Nix on macOS setup.

Your claim was that Firewire "was very expensive compared to USB and Ethernet".

Which completely ignores the speed and the costs of the various data transfer standards as they existed at the time.

The cheap 1.2 megabit USB standard that existed at the time couldn't transfer 5 Gigs of MP3 files in less than an hour.

The cheaper 10 megabit version of Ethernet they sold at the time also would need more than a hour to transfer enough MP3 files to fill an iPod and wouldn't have been cheaper than a Firewire port.

Ethernet with faster speeds than 400 megabit Firewire existed, but was MUCH more expensive.

Speed AND cost both matter.

> I said 100 Ethernet which was dirt cheap

Back then? It wasn't.

So your definition of a bailout is "entities that received money under TARP plus Fannie and Freddie." This is a strange definition and it means that the last bailout that possibly could have happened was on October 3, 2010 per https://home.treasury.gov/data/troubled-asset-relief-program ("The authority to make new commitments through TARP ended October 3, 2010, at which time Treasury shifted focus to the orderly wind-down of TARP. As of September 30, 2023, all TARP programs have closed, and there are no remaining troubled assets held by OFS.").

Indeed, looking at what you believe to be the "last company to receive a bailout" we can see that they were bailed out in 2009. The August 2022 event that you believe to be a bailout is, as the description aptly notes, a "Partial Repayment" of their bailout from 2009.

To be honest, it seems like you have no idea what you’re talking about. Almost like you're just reciting some stupid Twitter/Reddit talking point that you agree with but don’t understand beyond "Arghhhhh I hate big corps! The system sucks! Corporations privatize profits and socialize losses!"
Stop the madness. If you are the manager then it is up to you to set the pace, tone, and direction of the team. If you are in charge then take charge. Don’t pawn that off on some powerless senior developer and cry about optimism, because you are setting that senior developer up as a center of animosity for junior developers who need to redirect attention away from their own failures.

If you want a strong team that optimistically works well together then set supremely high standards with risk of failure. When risk of failure to deliver becomes probable spread the tragedy across all team members. This is when your senior developers will step up to guide the juniors. Failure to do so results in whiners who throw each other under the bus.
As long as your diet is built mainly around plants and whole foods, and you maintain an appropriate energy balance to maintain a healthy weight and body composition, you should be fine. It's the common factor in every healthy diet.

If you enjoy a sweet treat on special occasions or social gatherings, just enjoy it. Being good 90% of the time allows you to indulge 10% of the time.

A sufficiently good diet combined with regular strength and endurance training will be the most powerful levers at your disposal to drastically improve your health and quality of life.

Show HN: MarketMind – Market research in minutes, powered by AI
Hey HN,

We've been working on a market research tool that's able to put together a report in a few minutes, using the latest data available for any product or company.

I personally found the market research process to be long and repetitive. A few months back, with my business partner we made a command line tool that automates it. It has saved us time and now has a UI built around it.

We are looking for testers who may find this useful and we would appreciate any feedback you throw at us :)

Thanks!

I'm in the last course of my third micromasters now so I guess I can share some perspective and experiences here.

I completed the Data, Economics and Development Policy one around 2019 and it definitely contributed to a job / career switch (data science job at an NGO in the experimental economics space). The courses I took were highly applicable to that work and I'm fairly confident that they helped me get hired as well, some of the people running the organization were collaborators of the ones who set up the micromasters.

I completed the Manufacturing micromasters last year as part of learning and development during my job (different job, manufacturing in biotech). It gave me a lot of valuable perspective on monitoring and optimization of manufacturing processes and I learned some "Design of Experiments" theory that I later applied at work.

I'm currently in the last part of the Finance micromasters for my own interest. It's too early to say whether this will have much of a career impact, but I definitely perceive the skills I'm acquiring as valuable (basic accounting and NPV calculation are useful in many different corporate environments, and financial skills are helpful for planning retirement as well).

I think the programs have gotten a lot more expensive which might make it a harder decision, I didn't pay more than ~$1500 for any of these and each covers a lot of ground so I thought they were worth it. There are some technical glitches here and there with EdX but overall the quality of instruction is high.

The Finance one is the only one so far where I've had significant contact with peers, it's not easy to benefit from the social aspects of a degree with these programs. I think doing well in these programs gives you a good shot at getting into full degree programs on campus though (I got accepted into the Economics masters but it didn't fit my plans at the time). Obviously the full program is much more expensive (I think it was $40k-ish for the Econ one, $100k-ish for the Finance one).

Your mileage may vary - I really enjoyed the programs, they fed my curiosity and they came in useful so I have zero regrets about spending time and money on them.
Wasn't Welch the one who was using "sack 10% of the managers each year" as a strategy? That one was obviously long-term stupid; I can see it being healthy for maybe a cycle or 2, but after that it would just kill off all the intangibles of management. At some level, every company relies on a culture of people doing the right thing to thrive over the long term.

Although I do think that it is a mistake to just pin blame on Welch for that. There is a pretty solid amount of evidence that the WWII-era-boom US started falling apart from the early 1970s; there were a lot of ugly trends that took hold after US traditional oil production peaked. One of the symptoms is that nobody important seems to see a model where the States are a world class manufacturer. If nobody sees a way to run manufacturing companies at as high-performance entities then it won't happen. There is a lot of blame to be assigned to the space between the CEOs.

That is to say, my thesis is that management is optimising correctly in context - but they are in a context where US manufacturing excellence doesn't make as much sense as it once did.

No, it fouls soups. I always know if there is a trace of it. As the other commenter remarked, lighter fluid. Or turpentine. It gets worse cooked.
Prices in an absolute sense will always rise, especially when inflation is high but you have to compensate for purchasing power, wages and so on. Effectively, from today to 1970 the price of cars has probably dropped in terms of what you get for your money and that includes 'these last years'. When looking at EVs it is true that they are still more expensive, but then again, they didn't exist at all back in the 70's so we can't really compare, and as volumes ramp up the price will come down. The bigger issue will be to match growing grid capacity to growing number of EVs because if those too get too far out of phase there won't be enough power available in some locations.

The interesting part is that Jack Welch wasn't an MBA - he was a (PhD) chemical engineer who'd worked at GE for his whole life after getting out of grad school. He'd had several management positions in the company before he got to CEO, so it's not like he didn't understand how the company worked and kinds of things it did.
It is not synonymous, but you are right that they are very similar concepts.

React's VDOM actually works just like immediate mode, updating it all on every "re-render" (with diffing taking care of updating only the parts of DOM that actually need an update). So it's a bit like "immediate on top of retained mode".
This is true in some abstract sense but the value really goes up dramatically if more than a few people actually use it. There’s a strong feedback loop around having drivers or being able to run common code, and that’s why many people were hoping that Google had a strategy since there aren’t that many projects with the resources to push through the early iterations of those problems.

for the curious on Jack Welch's management style - https://www.performyard.com/articles/jack-welch-management-s...

There were many fans/followers through out US corporate boards - just like sports coach lineage, there were Jack's lieutenants taking over US corps. I have not followed their success/failures. All I remember was my then boss's total admiration for his management approach - I did not stick around.

I always assumed he caught the great bond bull market run at the right time and GE Capital made him the captain of US industry - his is one of the main reasons of US decline in manufacturing. If not for silicon valley - we/US will be in a poor state

Immediate mode means instead of changing the state of UI widgets individually, the entire UI is redrawn with the current state. Afaik this has slightly worse performance but can simplify the code because the UI itself doesn't hold any state.

> The gaming industry pc is the largest it’s ever been and growing. Look at subreddit growth for r/pcmasterrace and the popularity and growth of discord as a platform. Pro Pc Esports is also growing, has more watchers every week than the Super Bowl and dominates consoles.

I'd like to believe that but we're seeing more and more of the AAA games going console-first or console-exclusive, so even if sales numbers are high that must not be translating into profitability. Indie or indie-style games, like Minecraft or Rimworld, are succeeding on PC, but those are games that don't need maximum graphics performance, so they're not going to be putting money into improving Vulkan or whatever. (Even something like Fortnite is "AAA" in the sense of being a big-studio game with big-money marketing, but it's not pushing cutting-edge graphics performance). Hell, most of these games are using third-party engines, so the only companies that might want to put money into graphics works would be the engine developers - but look at how terrible Unity's financial situation is, even as they're probably powering most PC game sales at this point.

Consoles generally have voice chat built-in, so you can't really talk about discord numbers without having something to compare with. Esports may be growing in some places but it's mostly in console-friendly genres like FPS; even if the pros are playing on PC that doesn't mean the people watching them are. Compare with RTS which used to be the biggest esports genre but is now declining, because it's PC-only (the only sort-of-RTS games that are growing are MOBAs - but those are precisely the ones that work best on consoles).
