For little green stuff for expensive restaurants, vertical/urban farming is probable economically viable. For marijuana (retail sale price >$100/pound), it certainly is.

But if you imagine that you're going to feed an urban area from vertical/urban farms - well, the wholesale price of a bushel (60 pounds) of wheat has fluctuated between ~$4 and ~$12 over the last 15 years - so between 7 and 20 cents per pound.

How many orders of magnitude below vertical farming's best-case scenario is that? And how much waste heat would staple-growing vertical/urban farms need to get rid of, in global-warming cities, where the poor are already dying from the heat?
I’m not sure. I can imagine a lot of people in the Netherlands not being paid enough to care, but I have a really hard time imagining any of them not caring enough about safety critical equipment.

Then there’s Japan, where caring too much even though you are paid too little is kind of a cultural thing.
IPv6 doesn't really solve the problem of address exhaustion until IPv6 addresses are first class citizens which will only happen when we do not need to rely on IPv4 addresses anymore.
Free tools work great for traffic. What’s the best way to convert users into paying users after?

I have tried a lot of things for my side project like limited generations of the output and then putting a signup requirement if you want to use the tool more often but people are simply not converting to the main solution.

arguably, by a similar logic, world war 2 was started by terrible decisions made while high on speed
So everybody needs to be miserable as if you are not miserable the rest of miserable people will look at you and say: That's not fair!! I am miserable so you must be miserable too!

Of all the "arguments" used by hired Public Relations companies hired to spin "work from home" in a bad light, this is the most stupid argument I have ever heard.

This makes me uncomfortable as probably because of that it could be the most successful.
It doesn't mean each one is morally culpable, but it does really hurt the narrative of 'hamas kidnapped the population'.

I think Gaza is going through an enormous tragedy, but Israel did undertake efforts to reduce civilian casualties (such as evacuation), although much less so than previous conflicts. Having said that, war is still terrible and having to fight in such a population dense area with an enemy who is embedded into the population has a huge toll.

About the dehumanizing approach, I agree. I think one of the results of the October 7 attacks is that it heightened that sentiment in the Israeli population, especially among most of the population who did not feel that way previously about the Palestinians. This is due to some of their actions which are frankly inhumane: decapitation, genital mutilation, baby kidnapping, child rape, live burning, and focus on civilian areas
You might be horrified to learn that human life is assigned a monetary value in social considerations. You can't run a large society successfully on feelings.
There is an economic cost to lost life, and there is an economic cost to people waiting in traffic, and it may be very well that the latter exceeds the former in this case (though I have not done that calculation).
If you need macOS on the server for whatever reason, your only option is the Mac.

I have four Mac minis racked up for this, with two use cases: 1) iOS CI/CD and 2) some computer vision stuff using Apple’s Vision framework.

No complaints, but I obviously wouldn’t run anything that didn’t need to be on a Mac on these systems.

BTW, you can rack mount twenty Mac minis in the footprint of a single rack mounted Mac Pro (there’s a 1U mount that takes two and they’re small enough to mount on both the front and the back of the rack). So 20 M2 Pros per 5U.

They’re of course not a sysadmin’s dream but they do tend to stay up and Ansible works fine.
For those wondering, I think this is mostly because of men having multiple wives.
Or even without wanting to.
> Apple doesn't want to be in the server market and I don't think that will change any time soon.

It might. Mac sales have been declining for several years now.
I quickly checked the app. What I can tell for sure is that the marketing (the site) has more functionality and looks way more beautiful than the app itself. The app right now looks like a school project of a team of two Computer Science engineers. It requires a lot of work to be barely usable.

However, I highly appreciated the warning that this is (pre?)alpha release, and no data export or any reliability is to be expected.
Most dishwashers only have one inlet. And most also heat the water(more), even if fed hot water.

I believe the premise is, with 240V, they can heat faster. So people plumb them with cold when in 240V land, and hot when in 120V land.
What was the data that Graeber used? Fan mail from people who didn't like their jobs?

I already conceded in my original response that if you hacked another group first, then yes, you can leave fake breadcrumbs.
Unfortunately, it doesn't let you filter by aspect ratio, so you cannot get e.g. all 16:10 monitors which is something I'm always actively searching for and it's so difficult. The page also doesn't list the unique Dell U3023E and its predecessors which are 2560x1600, i.e. 16:10 monitors, and perfect for design & development both in portrait and landscape mode.
If the developer of that website is on HN, I hope they can add a filter for aspect ratio and more 16:10 monitors as well.
I currently live in South India, and the lowest number I can fathom from this estimate of yours ($1253012 = $45000) is an pretty high salary that people in the level of Director get. If you're in places flush with VC funding, you _might_ get that at a slightly lower level of management, or you need to be in a FAANG company.
If you want to optimize this you probably want to calculate the biggest distance from a center point to the edge of a complex object.

Then include these values into a database with index, so it’s super fast to check if you need to run the formulas or not.

Often have to do this if you want to calculate if some objects is colliding/intersecting on the surface of the earth.
Seriously. I was drug tested when I worked at the shipyard. Not in my current job in tech. That doesn't bother me in the least, because I had hundreds more ways to accidentally kill either myself or a coworker when I was welding 100' up on the side of a ship than if I hazily mis-click a dialogue box now. No one complained about it at the shipyard, either, because we didn't want to get killed by a high idiot.
The author doesn’t really explain why they are doing this.
Wouldn't it be more relevant to determine if their potential hire has had an undiscovered affair in the past, or is currently cheating?

Why aren't they doing this now if it was really about the potential for blackmail?
Can fzf or the shell history file answer this question? zsh records timestamps and runtime if extended history is enabled. bash needs HISTTIMEFORMAT to be configured properly. I haven't used fzf so not sure if it can search by timestamp, I only see a line number for the matching command (presumably) in the gif.
Weird. You have a meter, after the utility's meter, that you can just plug into?

I don't often use a file manager, but when I do, I use ranger. It's mostly for use cases like "delete everything in this directory but these 3 files" and navigating deep directory structures with many files. However, recently I've also begun to use a mix of "z" and the "cd" feature/bash-binding of fzf.

I like that ranger allows me to use vim key bindings, which matches nicely the rest of my system which is centered around i3 and vimium.
Honestly a lot of the “low skill jobs” actually have a high skill threshold but we just arbitrarily decide to suppress them.

Take somewhere like Starbucks. They pay them minimum wage, churn em constantly so they’re never trained and make them work arbitrary shifts like 4 hour -> 2 hour unpaid break -> additional 4 hours.

Those staff end up “low skilled” but in reality someone who was treated fairly and respected would get very good at running the shop. They’d be able to turn out twice as many drinks and they would actually care about running costs and cleanliness. You wouldn’t get the constant underlying corruption by mistreatment where they can’t be bothered to check stock levels and throw away a grand of material a week on inefficiency.
The article doesn’t recommend forcing more people to come into the office, so your comment reflects experiences outside of this article, not what they’re saying.

I have never seen "memeo" in a spanish chat. I saw jaja, jeje,jojo, jiji, even juju and larger variants. We also use xD (smile with closed eyes and laughtin) or longer versions like xdddddddddd or lol (loooooooool).

"Me meo" is a real expresión, but not so common, i like to say "me deshorino" like satirical expresión.
Low level languages might not be used in many applications these days, but it is still very much the core of OS's, drivers, embedded, etc. Those things are still being made today, and the impact of a security flaw sneaks in is probably bigger than a flaw in application code.
> And now it's cross platform too so I only have to test it on 1 system.

Not so fast. Did you uppercase the first letter of the file and tested on macos and windows? It will fail on linux. Did you create a file called con.js and test it on non-windows machine? It will fail on windows. Did you rely on sub-second precision timestamps? It will fail on some windows machines.

This is a leaky abstraction. People will run into problems.
To me its the same thing, they are paid my Google to code stuff the is put in their org and not their private accounts/orgs so to me this IS in fact "by Google".
What a crazy exchange. Graeber comes of well though.
Google will punish you hard if you don't share information with it. Soon you will realize that it will constantly bother you because it cannot trust you (because it does not have your information). Say if you let it track you all the time, and if you happen to forget your password, you may still be able to get the access to your email account back. I disabled all tracking, and I have not been able to access my 10+ year old email account. If I knew this, I would be happy to ask Google to track me 24/7.

Sorry about that, but I’m not sure how you expected me to know that about you or why we’re arguing about tea kettles. I think I inferred more disagreement from context than we actually have. Do we actually disagree about anything here or are we all good? At the very least I think we’re on the same page about washing machines, which was the original point of contention here.

And yes, the point about welding is a good one; higher voltage standards are a lot more convenient for that.
This sounds like a "dream job syndrome".
Ok, what about testing politicians? Their decisions impact millions and it's in the public interest that they can reason at their best.
That's why when companies like this dissappear they should release the source code to help the users.
One of the only languages where I saw this non-local returns is Kotlin.

You can return from a function from within a lambda (and I believe this works on any number of levels), for example:

fun go(list: List<String>): Boolean {
list.forEach { if (it.isEmpty()) return@go true }
return false
}
Probably because they are the kind of people that don't rely on libraries and are able to fix compiler bugs
One thing anarchist societies do not seem to be particularly effective at is war. Spain proved that they can do the rest though.
There's too many failed grand ideas like this. Fyre comes to mind. Even if they're not outright scams, I need to know the person is capable of organizing a successful event. I've been to a bunch of tech conferences which were poorly organized because the hosts just didn't have enough experience. Can't imagine something bigger like this
> How do you be productive without lists?

This is a really interesting discussion. I’m a professional musician. If a work that I have to prepare isn’t already “in my fingers” then I have to make up a process for learning it. Difficulty/length/complexity vs time are my variables to work with. I don’t make lists. Instead, I mark my musical score extensively, bracketing what will need more attention. Then I structure my practice sessions around those zones. But, as a rule, I don’t “program” them in a rigid way. I do make use of journal in which I record what I worked on today. From that, my clarity about where to go next emerges. I suppose for me it’s about injecting just the right amount of structure while allowing the whole process to still be a creative act. Maybe something in that for you?

Reading through the comments, I wonder if you put unreasonable pressure on yourself about the pace of your acquisition of the material. If the pursuit is truly for enjoyment, then letting go of expectations about the outcome can paradoxically lead to better outcomes! But maybe I’m over-interpreting here.

For your hobby of music though, constantly pivoting between the technical and what goes on in the sound world can only help. Again, with music, patience and careful listening to yourself are key. I tell my students that the practice room is less like a gym and more like a laboratory. Bringing a spirit of experimentation and playfulness can help in ways that over-objectifying the material and over-structuring it cannot. And in the making of music, knowing and doing have to be unified; that's the nature of embodied cognition.

I also like to use

sudo chattr +a .sh_history

to ensure that my shell history file isn’t deleted.

Being append-only, it also ensures that some type of timing issue in my shell which means my HISTFILESIZE or the equivalent isn’t set to something larger than default, meaning my history isn’t deleted.
They test warehouse workers because their insurance demands it. Personal injury settlements are expensive and drugs increase the risk. If employers cannot show that they are taking efforts to discourage it then they could end up being held liable (and the insurance not covering it).
The best upgrade I've ever done to my T420 was a 65W GaN charger (less than $20) and a USB-C to barrel power cable from AliExpress (~$5). So much more compact and aesthetically pleasing than the stock charger.

Another cool upgrade is an HDD bay that you can install in place of the optical drive. Costs less than $5, lets you install both regular SATA SSD (no need to look for mSATA) and an HDD.

Edit: total cost of my T420 with all upgrades I've done over the years is around $150. Pretty neat for a daily driver. I'd probably still use it if I could get hands on a good display and a conversion board, but I've switched to an M1 MacBook Air since then. Maybe I'll do a frankenpad build with the M1 motherboard in a ThinkPad case though!

I read the title much differently than HN!

My take is, you get to work from home if your job isn't that crucial. Jobs that are driven by cost rather than result.

I don't think most remote workers understand that eventually they must be cost competitive with any legally-applicable competitive workers. Are you ready to become cost-competitive with Mexican devs who know React well enough?

In ten years I predict most "remote" work will be pay-per-ticket:

1. Log in to hiring site to complete aptitude test.

2. If pass, get a ticket and propose solution.

3. If solution isn't accepted, goto 1. If another worker solved same issue for less money, goto 1.

4. Close another ticket within X hours. If not, goto 1.

Anyone stuck in this loop may very well fantasize about aspirational careers like being a UPS driver.

I followed up on Devon's original idea (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38457815) with a redesigned one that works with both prompts and images + prompts, and reads the responses back to you in the glasses.

A bit of annoying to set up the whole reading back to you part, but totally doable.

Pros:
+ Done via a browser extension
+ No need for a server
+ No need for fake FB accounts, official way to make one

Cons:
- Reading back involves quite a setup with FB apps & pages
That would be funny if it weren't so true. Or maybe that makes it more funny.
> if you can't manage your own memory, you should be using a language implementation with automatic memory management.

I agree, and would expand the idea to all kinds of resources (files for example). Sadly not many languages have "automatic resource management". For example Go has automatic memory management, but if you read an HTTP request's body you have to remember to call req.Body.Close(). If you open a file you have to call file.Close(). If you launch a goroutine, you have to think about when it's going to end.

I'd like to know if some languages manage to automatically managed resources, and how they do it.
FWiW the authors setup:

Here’s the ZSH configuration I used for many, many years:

possibly cannot fully answer the question as there are settings to scrub duplicate commands ... meaning the target day will show commands unique to that day but not necessarily all commands from that day.

It's a small quibble but potentially an issue for those that really need to Indiana Jones their command history for some specific clue.
For Zionists that isnt just land, its the land they got from god after Moses freed them from Egypt and split the sea to get them out of there and then close the sea on the pursuing Egyptians.

The point of reclaiming Zion is to ultimately reclaim Mount Temple to build the Final Temple and usher in the end of days and an eternity of paradise.

One of the strange things with Israel is a lot of people that are pro Israel dont know anything about the nation. Ignorance usually breeds hate and not love. Or maybe being darker skinned is the key.

I think it was just overly stage-managed and produced. I found the upbeat, ‘super-excited‘ kinetic delivery (from both presenters in that part) fake and off-putting; especially for the engineer, I’m almost certain that this was ‘trained’ by whichever agency they were using for the video production.
>However, a defamation lawsuit is a far cry from a death sentence.

Defamation lawsuits in Singapore are far worse than in the west. They are both rigged and designed to bankrupt you. Being a target wont mean you get killed but it will ruin your life.

>Somehow I get the feeling most commenters who criticise Singapore for its 'draconian authoritarian totalitarian xyz-itarian oligarchic police state laws' have never set foot in the place.

I lived there. I was there for the riots and I was there for the bus drivers strike where the police violently brutalized the foreign strikers for having the temerity to object to racial pay scales.

Hacker news opinion mostly comes from people who went to Singapore on holiday once and now thinks theyre an expert on it or white people who lived there liked being near the top of the racial hierarchy.
> We want people to reduce their carbon consumption

Remember that this isn't the end goal. What we want is not to feel the effects of releasing CO2.

A CO2 tax that costs as much as it costs to mitigate the effects of that CO2 release reduces CO2 production to exactly the amount its worth emitting. Rationing means you either get more or less CO2 than this number.

> How many airplanes crashed due to The pilot being on drugs?

This is an interesting question but not all drugs decrease performance. For instance, if a pilot responsibly takes some wakey meds before landing a long haul flight it may be a good thing. There’s a reason for the “I can’t function before the morning coffee” expression.

I remember a documentary many years ago about long haul pilots who went partying HARD the day before flying back from Bangkok, Tokyo or places like that. They wouldn’t have been allowed to drive, but flew hundreds of passengers. It was filmed undercover, but I don’t remember if there was a backlash/consequences.
Ask HN: Which leader in tech do you admire and why?
Some leaders in tech have a better reputation than others. For example, I think Bill Gates built a successful company while remaining mostly a good guy, then used his wealth for philanthropy.

There is so much doom and gloom about tech these days, but there must be some reasons why we all got into it, and I think some of those reasons will endure.

Which tech leader do you admire the most, and why?

A nice thing that zsh (and bash-preexec) has is that you can add arbitrary functions to be called on command execution.

I work at a large facility with a shared filesystem and many computers, so often I need to answer questions like “What did I run the last time I was sitting at computer X”. I log: command, timestamp, PID (to separate terminal streams), hostname and cwd.

I’ve set up ctrl-r to search this “.fullhistory” file instead.

And my point above was that this is not a single number. It varies depending on what we want to use the CO2 emitting stuff for.
Python Graphical interface apps are getting really good at their job. You've mentioned Plotly, Stream and now Taipy. Reflex is also another one.
I guess I can see where the parent thinking you replied came from. If the life formed by randomness, according to this old Discovery video[1], it defies law of probability.

If each step from simple to complexity is using this randomness evolution, it will be more and more defies law of probability.

Wikipedia said earth had water 4.4B year ago. The first cell formed 3.8B years ago.
This PBS video[2] said multicellular life emerged 1B years ago. Other source said 1.7B years ago.
And then the first modern human appeared around 300 thousands years ago.
So the question is: is 700M-1400M years enough time for the probability to create human?
