Completely different style but I think Altered Carbon by Richard K Morgan introduces lots of new ideas and interacts with them realistically.

The first season of the show was good but very different than the book.
Thank you, that's all I really cared about but I had "read my last free article" so I couldn't even find that out. I'm so tired of the internet.
I think there are important differences between news forums like this one and social media:

- HN doesn't have notifications

- HN doesn't provide affordances for virality: you can't "retweet"/"subtweet"; you can't start trends like #ProtectTaylorSwift; you can't brigade people; etc

- HN doesn't have a personal algorithmic feed

- HN doesn't have DMs

- HN links elsewhere (mostly) for the main content

- HN's moderators are available directly, and they also participate in discussions

- You can't be an influencer on HN: you might be a patio11 or something, you might even get jobs from your HN karma or posts, but hawking products based on your clout for a kickback is astroturfing/shilling and the community is pretty good at snuffing it out

---

I guess overall my argument is that if forums--even forums like Reddit or random vbulletin forums--are social media then the term kind of loses meaning. It opens the door to questions like "are blogs social media, after all there are accounts and comments sections".

I know people highroad social media and its users a lot (I'm guilty of this haha; finally my misanthropy is good for something!), so there's something attractive about an argument that cuts holier-than-thou HNers back down to size (trying to be generous and lighthearted here, again I'm a member of this crew). I just think the shoe doesn't fit in this case. There are good things about social media! Black Twitter! Queer/Geek Mastodon! But I really feel like those services are meaningfully different than forums--especially this one.
>You are planning work every now and then, aren't you?

In the past, I've tried to give key people on longer-term projects I'm working on a heads-up. But I trusted them and it was longer-term. At the end of the day, I'm not going to let the word out before I'm ready if I'm worried it has the potential to bite me financially, e.g. because of vesting.
It was still going at the time I left (~2y). Most of the work of keeping it alive had been done by others for the last decade, so I hope someone else is still carrying the torch.

We had the occasional HR interaction but to my recollection never anything nasty.
This seems like something that should have been verified in lab/field decades ago, before billions in mass solar roll out. I'm assuming it is and large scale solar infra are optimized according to site conditions?
It shifts the transcoding load to the user and it loads the movie async so you don't need the full bandwidth, so of course it changes the required infrastructure needs.
Netflix has rotations though, does it paint a better picture ?

It also has TV shows, I wonder how shows and movies compare regarding bandwidth, storage and offers.
That isn't entirely true about the average part.

Being average is fine (and great!), but plenty of people aren't real geniuses and work on really complex problems(like search, complex solutions with high-scale), or non-CRUD work.

You can specialize in that, being average, given that you are lucky to find a job there. The only downside is that it's highly specialized and has fewer companies willing to hire for it, but as those positions are rarer, there are also rarely people with the correct skillset.

Other engineers will look at yourself as being a genius, when in reality you are also average like them that got to specialize in a problem that isn't common.

It isn't that good if your intentions are to become a manager and has a more corporate profile. Then the best path is to do whatever else is doing (frameworks/tools/kool-aid)
> We've become anti-intellectual, iconoclastic, lazy and idolatrous

Perfect example of the crisis in education. (We've always been this way.)
"Throw more money at X, and X will improve" is a very American way of thinking.

There are many more weak points in a complex system such as education than just money. Some weaknesses can indeed be exacerbated by extra money.

Giving, say, Acme University more money may well result in hiring of additional vice-provosts for lawn management, to the detriment of the students and faculty themselves.
OK, I stared at that animation far longer than I should have...

then went digging and found this other link by the same author: http://www.gregegan.net/SCIENCE/Superpermutations/Superpermu...
Simpler still is to recognise that "call a function" and "return from a function" are different syntax over the same thing. They both mean "jump to somewhere with a convention about where to find state".

If you replace "call a function" with goto, and replace "return from a function" with goto, then it becomes immediately obvious that "continuation" is a name for where you're going to jump to next. It only looks complicated from the context of calls/returns/stacks.

Confusing call and return for different things is unfortunate but popular. It gives rise to things like four registers available for passing arguments and one available for returning a result, when the calling convention really should be symmetric.

"Continuation passing style" is what all function calls use - x86 writes the address of the continuation to the stack, more sensible ISA's pass it in a specific register - modulo language syntax that somewhat obfuscates control flow.
Not necessarily, you need one download then theoretically torrents will do the rest. People don’t download directly from Netflix.
I don't disagree the Federalist Society is activist. I'm saying the judges they produce aren't, because that "very specific way" is "follow the law, not your political biases" which is, by definition, the precise opposite of judicial activism. It sounds like you disagree with that definition of judicial activism, but you haven't provided a better alternative.

To preempt the answer you've given elsewhere in this thread "they rule in a way that you don’t like" isn't a good definition, and seems from my perspective like an attempt to muddy the issue in order to allow you to put activist judges on equal moral footing with those who actually follow the law. You are correct that its impossible to eliminate all bias, but responding to that reality by throwing up your hands and saying "I guess everyone's an activist then, judges should just ignore the law and rule based solely on their personal biases instead" definitely isn't helping the situation. There's a spectrum here, and The Federalist Society has as one of its explicit goals encouraging judges to move towards the non-activist side of that spectrum.
You should try the old master, Hal Clement. Mission of Gravity is a classic "start from first principles" story.
I'm not sure what you're trying to argue here. You realize the Competitive Enterprise Institute is based in DC?
I'd extend that way beyond that, to anything done on a company system/network/device.

> I’ve even seen off shore people work from VMs only where they can’t download or store any file locally, much less dump everything to a USB stick.

Sure, they can't do any of that, and development becomes miserable. You don't have to go full VM and remote desktop to prevent those things.
Unfortunately so, native modules for Node are starting to be written more and more in rust rollup and parcel are two examples. Unlike previous modules written in C++ if there's no prebuilt binary for your platform, they won't even try to build locally, just flat-out wont install despite building fine if you do it all manually.
I've long wanted to read Charles Stross and somehow haven't. (Well, I read a few chapters of Accelerando years ago and never finished it, despiting liking it quite a bit.)

Do you think Glasshouse is a good place to start with his writing and is representative of his style? I loved Permutation City, one of my favorite books.

(I would've asked cstross himself but that would seem too awkward!)
I read the acknowledgements in some of his books and found him rather dislikeable.
In my semi-informed opinion, this approach is the most likely to yield substantial CO2 reductions in the first half of the century. While industry is greening, the process is slow on the timescales required to arrest climate change. Industrial acceleration of existing carbon capture processes seem much more likely to yield results, in the latter portion of the century - carbon capture will still be useful to lower atmospheric CO2.
Can you explain why this is a big issue?
I made a paint app with jQuery, and thought it would be a good idea to refactor to React so I could run it on a Next js server and add some multi user support, with later plans of refactoring that to a React native app.

Completely painted into a corner, I gave up after about six hours of trying to get my event listeners to work with React.

It's a shame, because there's so much server side stuff I could be doing right out of the box with Next, but now I basically need to choose a completely different architecture from the one I want because I thought it would be easier to use jQuery.

In all fairness, direct DOM manipulation works a lot better than React for the original app, but now I have to keep DOM state in sync with my server, which is a whole other challenge that React solves quite nicely.
I think you should factor the savings on AC in the summer and heating in winter as well into your calculation. For that to be most efficient the air would need to be trapped behind the panel, I don't think you need to worry about overheating so much because they are going to be running at a low fraction of their theoretical capacity. There is a fair chance that including savings on heating and cooling it will actually work out but I haven't run the numbers in detail. But it certainly is an intriguing proposition, even if it would work only on South facing walls.
The internet itself is not properly tuned and distance is an issue. On a local lan, sure a TCP tuned system will do amazing. On the public internet where who knows where your packet is going it's an optimal but not tuned system with latency TCP wasn't designed for. Also a modern CPU with SIMD/AVX can handle a lot of traffic in user space. UDP also has a checksum in it's packet header.

Just to add to it, torrent isn't piracy technology, it is just a sharing protocol. Netflix could very well leverage that to lighten distribution load. Didn't think of that, nice catch.
I agree with not forcing an execution model on your callers, if you can avoid it. I also try to extend the rule to be as flexible as possible for callers. For example, in C++, I don't like to see a function that returns a container. I prefer a function that accepts an output iterator as a parameter.

Disagree. Its as unfalsifiable, but the opposite position is disprovable, at least (if we create a self-aware IA).

Hence why i wrote

Initially it was a combination of just for the fun of it (it's a small script, as OP described). Secondarily there was the feeling of "everyone is going to go work at [major competitor]" and I was curious whether I could collect the data to show it. (I never ended up looking into this, but maybe HR did.)

As a dumb script it was not designed to be especially flexible. One thing I remember needing to fix was that by its nature it was archiving old data and preserving it, which meant that it was accidentally deadnaming trans people. My recollection is this was a small code fix, but an interesting lesson in social consequences of oblivious software.
It seems like the main issue in the case was the completely uncalled for comparison of the climate scientist to a convicted child molester not disagreement with the results of his research. You have a 1st Amendment right to say that the earth is flat if you want to but you don't have the right to equate a scientist who says it isn't flat to Jerry Sandusky.

You miss my point. I don't think any court would see the reasonable reach of Chevron to be the FCC being capable of determining what qualifies as an artificial person between people of natural or artificial insemination. "Reasonable" is part and parcel to the decision.
I like the redundancy of natural gas. So far, in less than 40 years, I have been kept warm for multiple days on 3 separate occasions by having access to gas while the electricity did not work. Also, I was able to keep cooking.

One of the states in the article is Oregon too, where I have family that just a few weeks ago lost electricity for 4 days, but were able to use an electric generator to keep the air handler going and gas to heat the the house and cook.

I fear heat pump only heat will fail exactly when I most need it not to.

Very related: There Is No Antimemetics Division (https://qntm.org/scp)

An antimeme is an idea with self-censoring properties; an idea which, by its intrinsic nature, discourages or prevents people from spreading it.

Antimemes are real. Think of any piece of information which you wouldn't share with anybody, like passwords, taboos and dirty secrets. Or any piece of information which would be difficult to share even if you tried: complex equations, very boring passages of text, large blocks of random numbers, and dreams...

But anomalous antimemes are another matter entirely. How do you contain something you can't record or remember? How do you fight a war against an enemy with effortless, perfect camouflage, when you can never even know that you're at war?

Welcome to the Antimemetics Division.

As I read your statement sitting in my "bedroom office", I notice:

My Vizio TV which has a piece of white electrical tape[0] with aluminum foil underneath. Incredible failure of engineering that has a setting to disable the power LED, however, that setting is ignored if you use the "black screen" option that kills the screen while the TV continues playing ... a feature you are likely to only use if you like to sleep to the noise, but not the light, of the television.

My switch has a sock wrapped around the front with a piece of cardboard jammed in it to keep the blinken-lights from creating strobe effects all night.

My monitor, multi-USB charger, have similar black-tape treatments that the TV received and the power outlet next to my dresser has a piece of white tape on it -- it's a smart plug and I'm guessing there was an indicator light under that.

The thrown together solutions indicate the worst part. You tend to not discover it's a problem until you wake up at 2:00 AM and you can't get back to sleep because it's bright as early morning in the bedroom.

I wish there was option on maps programs to set default tilt, I live in one of the cities with strong axial orientation and it's annoying maps is always slightly rotated.
I’d say -15°F or lower is something you need to design for at least into the light-blue area on this map:

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tdK_AMaZ9pg/Vb51WrvPDhI/AAAAAAAAD5...

Which is quite a lot of the country.

Light blue is a typical Winter low point in the -10°F to 0°F, which means you will see -15°F or lower often enough to worry about it.
> For anyone who is interested in just getting satellite imagery (though I understand the fun of pulling it out of the air)

If you download satellite images from the internet, but you are connected via wifi, you are still pulling them out of the air, aren't you?

Behold the amazing Copernicus program, paid for by all European citizens:

https://dataspace.copernicus.eu/

It provides a nice API to download many satellite images in bulk: optical, radar, multispectral and hyperspectral images of various types are available for free. That's about one TB of Earth images acquired per hour, and all of them are archived for ever and for all to see.
was at a bar and i met some guy who was like a year into his first software dev job and somebody was asking us about learning to code and i said to learn html/css first and he was like, "you don't need to know that, just learn react. i don't know anything about html."

i kept my judgement to myself and just ignored his advice. hopefully he's learned html.

Less efficient but still functional means my home was 50 degree inside instead of 67 when it was -1 for two weeks here.

On older homes, with much worse insulation, this would immediately be a problem.

Heat pumps are great, but they absolutely need some kind of emergency heat back up.
Other than higher cost for the heat pump unit, are there any other issues with having one that's oversized for heating? My understanding is that for cooling, having one that is oversized can be a problem because of humidity issues, which also makes me wonder what can be done if a space has an imbalance between the size needed for cooling versus what it needs for heating.
i imagine the 2% benefits will be outweighed by the energy distribution cost. even at very high voltage those wires are resistors

Venting? Local copy would not give you anywhere (mobile/pc/tablet etc) access to their content. Imagine having to carry 20 discs (just 20, not saying 100+ yet) with you everywhere. In case, if you plan to say - 'I don't need mobile access or 20+ discs' - they aren't going to customize their offering just for you or a few users. A USB will not work with mobile devices.

Operation Buccaneer
Congratulations on finishing your project and publishing, it's no small feat in itself. On Godot nonetheless, which is not the shining star for making it out of the prototype phase.

I have a couple of suggestions for you to consider:

- don't treat this as the end of the journey for the project, try to keep it up to date over the next 6mo-1yr (as they say, maintenance is 80% of software)

- go on fiverr or similar, and pay someone a little bit to redo your screenshot graphics, they do not look very polished

- also go on fiverr and have someone make a trailer using the game recordings you have

The last two suggestions are based on the fact that games are very heavily driven by visuals. Unless there is something very unique about the gameplay to draw a player in, you will want to spend the extra time or money polishing the visuals to create more appeal.
i think this explains the oversizing. 76% seems pretty good, but a lot of places do get to negative temperatures once in a while, maybe once every year or two, and that’s when you really want the heat to work.
I thought you did have the right to say anything about any public figure?
FreeBSD does the same thing (probably some shared 80s BSD heritage?). One challenge is actually providing that special routine for the dump device in a way that is safe at crash time. You don't know how bad a state your crashed kernel is in, and some buses may not have a polled IO mode (USB?).

The Linux kexec process kind of elegantly restarts into a known state, with the known drawback of hogging some memory. It's definitely a different set of tradeoffs and both seem vaguely reasonable.
I'm guessing this (like most (all?) terminal/cli stuff) uses ANSI color escape sequences, and what those colors end up being you can set yourself in your terminal.
