> I wouldn't worry about toxicity too much - the actual dosage is really low, and a lot less of the pigment makes its way into your blood than you think.

Exactly. If it did, the tattoo would fade, after all. Perhaps some makes it through during the process but if it's done well there isn't much contact with the bloodstream.

> Also, as far as regret goes, if you let an artist who does art you like do something for you, you won't regret engaging them. You can get something on your thigh, for example, that is rarely visible.

Exactly, for me that regret worked the opposite way. I had one put on my shoulder and it's usually not visible at work (I work in IT so I always wear a T-shirt). I regret this now :) Next time I'll get one on my lower arm so it's always visible.

I used to live in Ireland where they had this weird prejudice about tattoos but where I live now in Spain it's super common. More than 1/3rd of people have visible tattoos (and I mean visible on the street!). Even in a high-class restaurant we had a waitress who was covered in (beautiful) tattoos. It's so normal here, it's amazing <3
What a deaf way of thinking imho.

We should all strive to do what we can, regardless of what others do.

Setting an example and making investments eventually trickles down abroad with technologies being cheaper, with foreign companies being pushed by genuine or PR reasons to make investments on being greener in those countries etc.
I think they could, simply by IP laws, but they have a contract with the HDMI Forum that probably doesn't allow that. They could cancel it (and reverse-engineer HDMI instead of going by the NDA'd spec), but I don't think they'd do that just for Linux support.
That doesn't explain how you expect to keep people in extreme poverty from burning fossil fuels to get out of that poverty.

I don't think they are a lending company. They do not charge interest, their model lets you pay over time, and you pay a fixed fee to extend the payments. It's all fee based, no interest, so i think there's some regulations they get to sidestep.

> Vyxal aims to bridge the gap between simplicity and "golfability".

With code golfing languages, there are inherent tradeoffs between code size and usability/fun. IMO the most important features for minimizing length (assuming the only rule is the interpreter must be published before the challenge) are:

* (in Vyxal) Efficient syntax. Not sure what state of the art is anymore but stack-based seems reasonable.

* (in Vyxal) String compression

* (not in Vyxal) Efficient encoding; Huffman coding at a minimum but ideally arithmetic coding using sophisticated machine learning to predict the next command. It's super inefficient to have each command be 1 or 2 bytes regardless of frequency.

* (not in Vyxal) Huge numbers of builtins; Vyxal has "only" ~560. Ideally every past code golf question and every OEIS sequence are their own builtin.

Vyxal might hit a sweet spot, but I'm skeptical that it actually score as well as other languages with more of these features.

It would be a LOT more seamless if the output didn't have any HDCP to re-synchronize. Though the different frame timings (gen-lock is a term you want to search for) between the inputs and outputs so such a system might introduce presentation latency which would have to be accounted for in the audio streams.

I can’t think of any other sort of short stories series I like much

Not even the original The Twilight Zone (which Black Mirror basically is a copy of except with cell phones and social media)?
The Roman calendar started in January at least as far back as the second century BC, and my understanding is that our sources are inconsistent as to who changed it, when it was changed, and why it was changed. Also, most of our sources are writing well after the change occurred (generally, they date to first century AD). (This is why the Julian and Gregorian calendars start on January 1, because the calendar they're based on did as well! Although lots of European countries did decide for much of the past 2000 years to start the year on other days like December 25 or March 25 or Easter).

This gives me a vibe that a lot of the tradition of the Roman calendar numbering is based on a "just-so" story that is made up to explain an interesting fact without being based on any actual evidence.

Not the same as large-scale transplantation, but that reminds me of some work in Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-Cell therapy, where the dangerously-useful cells either have a manual suicide-switch or else another method to temporarily deactivate/reactivate them.

So still sci-fi at this point, but I'm imagining some kind of "bone marrow in a box" implant which cages the borrowed immune-system (copied, rather than genetically-engineered) within a barrier that somehow allows only roaming/non-reproducing cells to exit.
Although idea isn't new, and I'm sure I've seen "better HN" UIs in the past, — I like it. Trying other "better HN" I've always reverted to the original HN though. UI settings are very nicely put together, but I'd make "setting" button more noticeable. Also would suggest to use user's current system selection of bright/dark UI and week (or even 24 hrs) as "Date Range" by default. Comments section should have distinct separation from OP and preferably "striped" background (darker background for every other comment)
> but I'd love a more solid answer

Unfortunately that isn't a question you'll get an answer to. Anyone who actually knows and has access to sensitive sources and methods is under an obligation not to disclose them. Further nobody in the know wants to burn these sources - because it makes their job harder.

The general advice I can give is use an iPhone (turn on Lock Down mode if you believe you might be the target of well resourced attackers), use Google suite for your personal data (and turn on Advanced Protection), don't use commercially available VPNs (set up your own or just don't connect to wifi in untrusted places), and periodically delete third party apps you don't use (especially any that use location services).
If you put enough solar into an electricity grid you will eventually have coal generators shutting down because the variable pricing will drive them out of business. Watch the wholesale price dashboard for Australia for a while and compare it to local weather if you don't believe me [1]. The other effect will be that 24 hour power becomes prodigiously expensive or not available, which is why the Australian government is funding coal generators to the tune of 1.1 billion this year [2]. Even they are not stupid enough to think an industrialised society can manage without it.

Snowflake CEO Frank Slootman stepping down – and Wall St hates it
HDMI 2.0 is capable of doing 4k @ 120Hz, but only up to YCbCr 4:2:0 8bit instead of the full YCbCr 4:4:4 10bit (though I'm not sure how close wayland is to 10bit support). It will be fine for gaming, just not for everyday PC use.

FWIW I also didn't realise this until just now. I've been running my desktop at 4k@120hz recently for the buttery smooth neovide, but have been noticing that text rendering, especially syntax-highlighted text, looks awful. I'd seen the same oled panel render text way better in WSL/Windows (both using a custom pixel geometry[0] via Mactype, but also without), so I spent more time than I'm willing to admit to wrapping my head around custom pixel layouts and hinting in freetype. But no, turns out it was this all along.

If you want to see the effect of 420 vs 444 chroma subsampling on text rendering, this writeup[1] has some great test images and is well worth a read. Also, if you happen to have an LG OLED panel, you can get a little debug window that confirms your signal format and refresh rate, by pressing the green button on the remote 7-8 times.

When people in richer countries buy a lot of solar panels and heat pumps and whatnot, that brings down the manufacturing cost of these items, so that they also become the rational choice in poorer countries.

Well, I don't know about practices globally, but again, in the US, it is rare for a programmer to have such an employment contract. And if you did, wven volunteering on an Open Source project that competes with your employer would likely be in violation, and it would not make any difference between a "donation" and an "invoice".
> HDMI is not packet-based and so when it uses USB-C it takes over the entire cable (alt-mode)

AFAIK, when HDMI is used over USB-C, it's actually DisplayPort over USB-C; while a HDMI alt mode was specified, nobody actually implemented it, everyone instead implemented the DisplayPort alt mode and then used a DP-to-HDMI converter chip whenever an HDMI output was required.

> DisplayPort is packet-based and can be multiplexed with other USB-C traffic through a hub

That's the case only for USB4 (and AFAIK earlier Thunderbolt 3). Other USB-C ports with DisplayPort alt mode simply use some of the USB 3.x pairs for raw DisplayPort, and whenever the use of all four USB 3.x pairs is required for DisplayPort due to the target resolution, then only USB 2.x can be available (USB 2.x has its own dedicated pair in the cable).
I would say it’s reasonably accurate to say he’s accused of it given the number of articles and related information that pop up searching for Modi and Fascism - for example, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindutva

I don’t know enough personally to make any kind of claim beyond that though.

Perfect crystals. Also, the proof-of-concept drug was ritonavir, and it's nearly impossible to consistently grow large crystals of it on Earth. All of the labs that work with ritonavir are contaminated by a more stable form ("polymorph") that rapidly converts any ritonavir crystals into a less-useful form.
Yeah, I've very recently had issues with mp4's only working on desktops/firefox/etc due to the wrong encoding or container or whatever not being supported. hvec vs mpeg-4 maybe? Had to mess with ffmpeg arguments multiple times to get it right. Meanwhile if you put it on youtube it will work 100% of the time.

Yes, good plan as long as you either grew those trees specifically for the purpose or regrow trees after cutting them down. More trees makes for a healthier atmosphere and healthier - and happier - people. More trees, fewer barren fields, good.
That is very neat! Seems like a lot of thought went into how this works, from the user's point of view. And $20/y is a good price point, you could then go higher for heavy users. Pro tip: cut off sites that get DDOS, rather than send them a $100k bill :-).
Very neat! I've been stalking this project ever since I saw it get mentioned on the Candle repo, I'm curious to see where this goes next.

That part's fine; some even charge just from regenerative braking because the ore is at the top of a hill.

As for "nuclear?", energy density only matters in a few specific ways like making it easier to tidy away the waste, what most people care about is cost. Good luck to all the teams trying to make nuclear cheaper, but for now that means PV and wind.

To be honest, whenever I read about a politician that he/she is accused of implementing policies that experts have characterized as fascist", my only thought is "Who wasn't?"

It means nothing, and I hope more and more people realize that it's all just propaganda and low-effort, mealy-mouthed slander.
I can't tell if an article is worth reading until after I've read it, or a decent chunk of it. So I wouldn't pay for articles on this basis.

Running pirated games on real hardware requires tracking down a hackable Switch, which is not completely simple. I've seen torrents floating which contain Switch games alongside pre-setup emulators so you can just download and go.

Is there a linter for Python "dependency definition files"?
In Python there are multiple file formats for defining dependencies:

- [`requirements.txt`](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/requirements-file-format/)

- [`Pipfile`](https://pipenv.pypa.io/en/latest/pipfile.html)

- [`pyproject.toml`](<https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/specifications/pyproject-toml/>)

Let's call these "dependency definition files", even though some do more than just that.

I think in general it's a good idea to pin versions of your dependencies when you're building an application, it's different for libraries. My question is not about whether or not this is a good idea.

These dependency definition files allow for defining non-specific versions of those dependencies. For example: `cowsay >= 4.0`.

In my applications I'd like to force and remind myself to only create pinned dependencies. Ideally there would be a linter and git pre-commit hook so that I'm warned and blocked from creating dependencies that are not pinned.

In the JavaScript world there's a linter for `package.json` files that does exactly what I want:
- [the tool](https://npmpackagejsonlint.org/)
- [the rule](https://npmpackagejsonlint.org/docs/rules/dependencies/prefer-absolute-version-dependencies/)

Do tools like this exist for Python?
I guess my metric is, would you count AMLO as fascist? AMLO and Modi are functionally the same.

(Personally - I think Modi is an Authoritarian in the same mold as Indira Gandhi, Erdogan, Lula, Obran, and AMLO).
That’s simply not true.

Don’t take my word as an iOS dev for it, the fact that a bunch of effective ad blockers exist, one of which I use and just told you about, directly refutes your claim.
How is a non generally intelligent AI like Gemini know now is a bad time to talk about Indian politics? Are models in general supposed to avoid offending anyone, anytime? Companies align the models so hard to avoid controversial opinions they lose performance. Is any kind of political question out? Is asking if Hitler was a Fascist also out?
If you were to remove the Russian forces from these two oblasts (as well as Crimea and Zaporizhzhia) these proxy forces would collapse immediately.

As would all of the so-called rebellions in the East from the very start (2014).

While there were indigenous elements - even their own leaders acknowledge they wouldn't have gotten anywhere without support (or at least the hope of support) from the Motherland.
The issue is anyone with an IQ over 85 can tell that this behavior is in no way a "malfunction" of the system. The system was intended to operate this way and the general population found the output abhorrent and wrong.

The way Gemini talks about certain events (and generates images) is clearly in line with the walled garden of compromised liberal thinking at google. I say this as someone who votes blue and considers themselves progressive.

What's unacceptable, is Google clearly thinking it was okay to use their AI to erase history how it actually happened and just play it off as their org having moral highground.
Pure employs the textual order which is often considered more intuitive and is also used in mainstream functional languages such as ML and Haskell. (The specificity order also has its advantages, however, and has actually been used with great success in languages such as Aardappel and Hope.)

On the surface, Pure looks similar to modern-style functional languages of the Miranda, ML and Haskell variety, but under the hood it is a much more dynamic language, with macros and reflective capabilities more akin to Lisp. Pure’s algebraic programming style probably appeals most to mathematically inclined programmers, but its interactive programming environment and easy extensibility also make it usable as a (compiled) scripting language for various application areas, such as graphics, multimedia, scientific, system and web programming.

100% on point! Every time I'm getting my oil changed or I'm at a doctor's office, they've got the news on in the waiting rooms and it seems like the whole world is on fire and every house near me is burning and everyone is dying. Then I go live my life and everything is fine.

The reporting feels like it has no connection to reality. Yeah, the stuff happened. But that stuff just happens. Buildings catch fire, people die in car accidents, robberies happen, etc I just don't need to know about every single instance of it that happens on the surface of the planet.
> it's been because Intel's chip design failed so hard it squandered their fab advantage and gave AMD an opportunity to catch up.

Pretty sure you got that backwards. Intel fell behind because their fab advantage dissipated as they struggled on 14nm for 4 generations longer than their timelines anticipated, their chip design was actually doing alright at the time (without the foreknowledge of Spectre, of course).

In addition, AMD and Intel went pretty tit-for-tat all the way through 90nm; with AMD usually having the superior per-node technology (e.g. AMD 90nm > Intel 90nm) and Intel usually being slightly ahead in node-size. Ironically, similar to Intel and Samsung/TSMC/etc now, in reverse. That didn't really fall apart until 65nm, and really crash until 45nm.
IANAL and I've never used a switch emulator before, but if you have a feature for supplying keys to play proprietary games then I believe that constitutes as bypassing a technological protection mechanism. However, if that same feature is used to allow supplying self-signed keys to play custom software/homebrew, and there's no other way to do this, then it might be murky.
> You don't have to learn key signatures to sing from shapenote notation. So it's less work to pick it up.

You don't really need to learn them in roundnotes either? Like yeah, I know that C major is all natural, G major is one sharp, etc but I don't really need to know that, the key signature is on the left side of the staff. I guess you need to learn to apply those sharps and flats though, of course.

> Sightsinging is easier with shapenote notation. After a while, you internalise the intervals between the shapes – you just know what a fa up to a sol feels and sounds like.

This makes a lot of sense. I never really internalized intervals with scored music (although maybe a bit with playing from chord charts); I internalized the position on the staff to the fingering for the note. If I learned to sing this way, I'd internalize position on the staff to pitch; like B flat sounds like [hmmm] or something. I guess you're saying singing by intervals is easier than singing by named notes? But you can really do both with shaped notes, so all the better. :)
I get that using lights makes it easier, the part I don't get is why it should be illegal for it to be easier.

It would make sense to me if there was a "hunting league" like the NFL or something which had rules on what you're allowed to use, but why should this be a law?

It feels like making RVs illegal because they make camping too easy. If you want the challenge, just don't use them?
> If they do that will be a hilarious attack vector for companies.

I used to think that before realizing it's only going to be customers that will suffer.

When someone does something that affects your account, now you're sucked into this vortex of virtual despair.

AI representatives just drown complainants in hallucinated bureaucracy. It is an illusion of service. I think we'll have to start bypassing it altogether and just taking companies to small claims court (or even arbitration) to compel human intervention.

Maybe AI can help customers with that.
