Both. I started doing this because my area was populated after industrial farming started. Local adaptation slowed drastically after it was possible to ship food such long distances. Prior to that every food grower kept seed and brought them to new environments. I came to realize that all my seed comes from at least 8 degrees closer to the equator than me that are generally warmer, have a longer summer and are certainly dryer.

Starting with a new plant I will buy a few varieties whose descriptions suit my fancy. Then plant as many seeds as I have space for. Adapting plants is a numbers game. Some won't germinate, some will grow slowly, some will become diseased and some will be eaten by pests. None of those are suited for the local environment. Thin the planting to allow the strongest growers room. It should be obvious which ones to keep. Once you have the plants that started from seed best its time to start selecting for other traits. Traits depend on the plant but for food you should be selecting mostly for taste at first. For example, I am crossing one pea variety selected for wirey strong vines and purple pods and a couple others for taste. This is my third year with those and I am getting sweeter pods on wirey vines but the vines aren't quite as strong or tall. So, I planted some of the original wirey vine seeds to try pushing the line that way more.

Some trait selection is unintentional. The plants are going to adapt to you as well. They will adapt to how you plant, harvest, and save the seed. With my grains some of the plants are too short to harvest with a sickle comfortably. Those go in the eat or feed to chickens pile. Some also don't separate from the plants when I thresh by hand. Also to the chickens. What I am left with are seeds that were easier to process just by not being super careful to get everything. With biennials or clonal root crops you will also unintentionally select for plants that store well as you have to keep the roots over winter to plant them in the spring.

I started saving seed about 5 years ago so nothing has really stabilized into something that could be considered a new variety. But, I have seen the steps closer to my goals.

Purchased seeds are a narrow part of that plants gene pool. If they are open pollinated they were bred until most of the produced seeds make the same looking and tasting plant in a specific environment. Really, if you are gardening, you should learn how to save seeds unless you have a seed grower near you. If you save seeds you will also have more seed than you know what to do with.
The jury is very much out on 'rapid'.
> Yes but there was room for it, you noticed the wide streets? Most European city centers don't have that extra room for 1 dedicated bike path on each side

Many Dutch cities don't either, that's why they disallow cars entirely. Really only Rotterdam has spacious roads thanks to the bombings. Ann I understanding you correctly?

> And something tells me it requires certain type of population where respect to others is way above average, that's not granted.

I'm not sure where you are the casuality here. In my experience it's the more human centred infrastructure design that encourages a higher level of social engagement and respect for others.

But regardless I would find it tragic to condem certain cultures as being inherently incapable of these things.

> If it would be a easy problem to solve, it would be done or at least almost done at this point.

It wasn't begun that long ago in the Netherlands. The vast majority of infrastructure has been built since the turn of the century. It takes a while for other places to really realise that their current models aren't working, and even longer for them to really learn the lessons of the Dutch.

But if you look at cities like London, Leipzig, Barcelona, Paris or further afield to Montreal for example then many cities are actually beginning to successfully integrate Dutch design practices.
There was some cavitation issues in the "injector plates" of the F1 where the LOX and kerosene mixed with was resolved by drilling holes in it until it went away - there was no method to the pattern just drilling holes in a pattern until it went away.

Also each F1 differed slightly from the engineering design as they found issues and fixed it en-situ.

In short copying 1960's designs today is not going to work.
In JavaScript land, prettier auto-formatting the code on file save is quite lovely.

It was erosion control after some new road work. I sorta suspect they did bring in new dirt for it as well. I do only use it in small amounts.
Not really gonna make a difference over time in terms of pollution/heavy metals. But it was still a worthwhile project.
A 2 mile distance is highly circumstantial. There are several big leaps here. The potential pervasiveness of asbestos in the talc is not well established. The exposure of the plaintiffs is not established. The link between trace asbestos in talc and the cancer in question is not well established. No other complicating factors were ruled out. It's just maybes all the way down.

Yes it is possible that J&J was careless, and the the product was tainted, and these plaintiffs were exposed, and their cancer was caused by that exposure but the evidence is VERY thin.

Founder of Evervault here — we created the page more as a simple reference to the most common papers that people are looking for when they're learning cryptography from scratch (with a mathematical background). As a result, frankly it skews more towards the "most famous" papers rather than the most important. If you have suggestions for papers you think we should include, we'd be happy to add them!

Hopefully long term, this can help us dismantle unnecessary high voltage transmission lines, and let people trickle store power at 48volts and discharge it at 110 through inverters.
Yes it exists and is probably some biological product of evolution, but the brain is apparently not like a heart that pumps, or a lung that is essentially a bag that pulls oxygen out of air, it's doing something else that isn't explained using any mechanical analogy (AKA the materialist worldview).

In materialism everything we know is machines and mechanisms: From atoms to trees to buildings. It works for explaining most things, but maybe there are some things that aren't machine-like, leaving us with no way to understand it (at least not using those concepts).

Think of it like - you can program a computer to do all kinds of things, but it will never "feel pain" because that is a totally different class of phenomenon that we have no idea how to produce - no amount of code will ever make pain or joy happen to the computer - it's not a code problem. "Feeling of pain" etc. are the primitives of our experience, these little experiences add up to make up our lives and selves, but we have no idea what they are or how to produce them. We only know adjacent physical things that happen alongside it like neurons firing - which not only doesn't even begin to explain it directly but is itself a concept of the consciousness machine we're trying to explain.

To me this looks similar to rubber-ducking or technical writing. All three involve mentally modeling the perspective of someone who may not share your knowledge or assumptions.
What I'm saying is that if you don't have good reason to think some vastly wealthy thing isn't building a giant cock sucking device then you should assume it is in fact building supreme cock sucker and not you or anyone will get in the way.
I suppose that might be some special amendment in your specific RSU plan electing to pay some cash on top, not inherent to the nature of an RSU, which is certainly not a stock (i.e. on the corporate financial reports that payment would not be showing up as a dividend).
I mean hell, this is how I do things at home with my gaming PC. All data is kept on SATA SSD's and the OS lives on an NVMe for this reason. If Windows runs into issues, nuke it, rebuild, start fresh. I have a powershell script that sets everything up for me and links the user folders back to the ones on the SATA disk, and then I just download steam and my games.

My rec time is limited, I'm not spending it troubleshooting bullshit. Like, I will a little? But if it turns into that weird genre of "well this app bumped this app and now I can't play this specific game while running discord without crashes" and the fixes involve enabling and disabling services or updating drivers or whatever the hell, nah. Reimage windows, off to the races.
> never seen the appeal of phones so thin I could shave with them

For people who wear slimmer-fitting clothing, this matters. Also, it’s more about the weight: you want a phone light enough that holding it up isn’t tedious.
Loved the first edition of this book and am also a big fan of the youtube channel of the author, the Coding Train.

Like other eugenics claims, this is both insulting and ignorant. Natural selection is a slow process for most organisms, especially for anything living as long as humans do, and it’s primarily driven by the likelihood of successful reproduction. Diseases caused by being overweight which mostly affect people by the time they could be grandparents seems unlikely to ever see a significant effect.

What’s really bad about this is the assumption that there’s only one axis for measuring fitness when in reality there are many, and ignoring environmental factors as well. Callously saying “let the fat people die off” is implicitly saying that none of them will have a net positive impact on society, and it’s refusing to consider whether some or the blame lies in our culture: for example, we have redesigned life to minimize exercise, heavily subsidize the least healthy foods and lifestyles, and the poor people who are disproportionately affected by this also have the worst access to healthcare. There’s nothing natural about the resulting selection pressure.
It's not for nukes. We have silos and submarines for those. It's for "responsive launch" and (skeptically) because the DoD has lots of money for space and not much idea what to do with it.

It's the Astra business model, hopefully without the Astra failure model.

(And practically speaking it's because you can't bootstrap a heavy lift launch company on VC funding or even a SPAC - the small sat launcher is a proof-of-concept for your medium/large launch vehicle).
Is there a PDF templating tool that lets you GUI modify elements on a PDF to be used to generate reports and invoices for example ?

Fair enough, to each their own. Personally I have always preferred to use a full size keyboard; the Macbook Pro keyboard is good enough but I will almost always plug in a clacky mechanical keyboard if I'm at home.
Personally I minimize time spent in automobiles, whether driving or as a passenger, precisely because it’s so dangerous. My risk of sudden death is drastically lower on days that I don’t spend any time inside a vehicle moving at high speeds on the highway.

What's better for a tiny underpowered computer with not much RAM...

* A tiny simple OS with a modest selection of really good apps?

* Or a huge slow complicated OS with lots and lots of indifferent-quality apps?
Just behind the ball of your foot so as to load your arch in a downward motion. Your heel will almost definitely touch the ground. This, as opposed to a forefoot strike, where you're landing just behind your toes and loading in a rearward motion (think sprinting). Your heel probably will not touch the ground.

Both of these are hard to do in typical "running shoes" which build a significant amount of rubber into the heel, while also being fairly thin up front.
For iPhones, at least, I believe that period was when they were thinnest (the iPhone 6 is the thinnest one, 2014).
While well known for this paper and "information theory", Shannon's master's thesis* is worth checking out as well. It demonstrated some equivalence between electrical circuits and boolean algebra, and was one of the key ideas that enabled digital computers.

Go for a walk every day, and occasionally make your walk to an ATM?

You can also contact your bank and tell them that you want to be able to deposit checks via the Web site.

If enough people do this, and don't use the overly-proprietary app, the bank might listen.
Good suggestion! We (unfortunately) don't have an official webmaster at the company, but will try and surface this data on the page :)
Not ignoring the deliberate use of verbatim operators (text in quotes), and delivering verbatim results, just as they were doing a decade ago, would be a fantastic improvement. I've found this problem in every search engine, and it's infuriating. Quick example:

"A+Z" becomes "A-Z":

https://www.google.com/search?q="A%2BZ"

"(dog)" becomes "dog"

https://search.yahoo.com/search?p="(dog)"

https://www.google.com/search?&q="(dog)"

Show HN: I Built a India Neighborhood App
I built Neighar: Indian Neighborhood Social Network app that connects residents of the same neighborhood, allowing them to share local news, recommendations, and events. If you call it a rip off of Nextdoor, we wouldn't complain.

India relies heavily on Whatsapp and Facebook for their communication needs, but it has its own limitations. Whatsapp is limited to closed in-circle communications, and Facebook is too wide open. We are positioning Neighar right in the middle so that the diverse communities and culutures in India can take advantage of our tool. We support almost all the Indian Languages too.
That price is not bad at all for that kind of machine, especially if it's stable. My dad had an XCarve for a long while but he eventually just gave up on it. He was going to give it to me but I was reading about it and it just seemed like more bother than it was worth, especially given the physical space required.
> I don't understand why more adults don't have awesome hobbies... most of my childhood friends don't seem to do anything fun now as adults.

I get more enjoyment whole-assing one thing than half-assing many, in my case. Not to say hobbies aren't cool - I know somebody that built an entire guitar starting from wood - but I'd rather spend that time going even further in my main thing. "Majoring in the minors" or whatever.

I hope it doesn't come across as some sigma grindset stuff, it's not that I suppress my urge to have fun hobbies - I just feel happier and more secure incrementally building on my main career than creating a new persona for an activity I'm indifferent to.
Yep.

You wouldnt use json path as replacement to any language. It might be marginally useful in configurations or passing queries between different services. But the complex syntax limits it in both cases, because you cannot easily automatically modify the query. In the case of configs it would be great to analyze hundreds of configs on different systems and change them automaticaly, same with queries exchanged between services which might even get stored in a database.

I do not understand why domain languages aren't designed with limited syntax in mind. In the style of lisp for instance. Because actually being able to programatically work with the language is a massive advantage that imo far outweights your own frustration with typing a paranthesis or two extra.

Yes, it's possible in some cases. In some cases, you might need an operation. Or may be a better doctor. When I was young, I had back pain when I bow/go down. It came suddenly and stayed for more then 2 years -> 2 years of not being able to get things from floor without pain. My doctor here (one of the best in town, Germany), did X-ray, analysis, X-ray, decided to prescribe medication that I can't take. Then he wanted to make an operation, which I didn't want. So, after 2 years of pain, I went to study abroad in China. There, I went to military hospital and ask a guy what could that be, what I have. I didn't tell him the diagnosis of the German doctor. So that Chinese doc looked at me, make me wait outside for 5 mins and when I went in back - really funny story - he took a pencil and with it pulled up my shirt, asking me whether I wear a trouser belt, which I don't do. After I say "no", he told me to pull up my trousers. Suddenly, I felt a light relief of pain.. and I tell you, the next 1 week I always pulled up my pants and the back pain never came back again. Since 20 years now.

So, your tip with resting is exactly that what is needed. But I don't know, whether all conditions can be healed by that, or some still needs medication or operation.

Good luck to all and always pull up your pants!
Why would it? Moving these batteries would be more work than having transmission lines and we still need long distance power.

There is a reason why pipelines are popular even though we have the capability to move oil using normal transportation.
> America gov is still fighting random wars around the globe

Give credit where it's due, last 3 presidents were consistently trying to reduce the number of foreign - non-USA - countries where American soldiers were operating. Amount of war operations is reduced significantly.
The key point here is that the formatter has to be sufficiently advanced to know to do the right thing the vast majority of the time. Once it gets there, and once you've gotten used to the code it produces, it's better. Note that the "prettier" formatter will do the right thing in JS here, at least with the default config. It will even switch "\"string\"" to '"string"' for you.

Linting is a bit of a different beast, because linting includes changes to the code behavior itself, not just syntax. In JS there are so many footguns, that linting can often be pretty involved/strict. I think most of the people who don't like linting in JS either aren't aware of the footguns, or don't do very much code review and haven't worried themselves much with "what sort of bizare and unusual ways can this fail" sort of a thing.
No mention of Cost for a task completed.

A similar system, CrewAI, I ran their hello world and it cost $4 against GPT-4.

There is a trade-off between my time and the cost of the feature against me just coding it up with LLM assistance which has a fixed cost of $20 per month.
I honestly don't love taxpayer funding being used - unless the underlying technology is open sourced and available for commercial use, so then the free market can make improvements on it, etc.

Or funding situations like e.g. "we'll pay for you if the doctor/practitioner chooses your software" - but otherwise the free market is efficient, and unelected people administering taxpayer money have no real incentive to not mismanage the money; especially when current governments are money printing devaluing everyone's money, causing a ton of externalized effects literally causing harm to people's health and reducing people's quality of life.
We had Google fi for $25/line for 6 lines.

But VZW works out to $31/line for 6 lines; and we got 6 “free” iPhone 14.

So it definitely seems like the better deal over the 3 year contract period — $1300 extra for 6 new phones.

But I air quote becaus there were some extra activation fees, we pay monthly for the phones but then get a credit to zero it out which I worry is tricking me somehow, and I’m pretty sure our monthly service with VZW is NOT fixed under contract, so maybe they can jack up my monthly bill over the 3 years I’m paying off the phones?? I don’t know.

So far, 6 months in, it’s been a good deal but I much prefer buying phone outright and opting for cheapest service — but I THINK this promotion will get me out ahead, as long as I switch back to a cheaper provider at the end and don’t get an escalating service fee before phones paid off.
If you use linters without auto formatters you are choosing tedium.
"If you want publish them" should probably be "If you want to publish them"
The software controller for that switch was probably written by the new guy fresh out of college with maybe a bit of oversight from his manager. You're not wasting your experienced Staff engineers on stuff like that.
> We haven't seen a weight-based energy density figure from Natron itself, but a 2022 article from Chemical & Engineering News put its sodium-ion batteries at 70 Wh/kg, around the very bottom of the sodium-ion energy density scale. That aligns well with the company's stationary-only business plan, as sodium-ion batteries being pursued for potential mobility use have more than double that density. CATL showed a 160 Wh/kg sodium-ion battery in 2021 and has plans to increase that density over 200 Wh/kg to better meet the needs of electric vehicles.

CATL’s sodium batteries were more than twice as dense three years ago
I commented on this on another thread, but in all honesty it was intentionally skewed towards more "popular" papers as a quick reference guide. A lot of the people that use this resource are university students or cryptography first-timers, and undergrad university curricula do tend to focus more on the "famous" papers rather than the most novel/important.

That being said, if you have suggestions for papers to include we'd be happy to add them!
Yeah, I'd think you'd want to apply that principle, but with different materials for an aircraft. Off the top of my head I am thinking dyneema threads inside (instead of dacron/polyester) and a carbon fiber/mylar composite for the outside cloth, like is used for high end racing sails on sailboats.

I don't have experience with hard SUPs but have a cheap RetroSpec weekender 10'6" SUP at 17.5lbs - I quickly looked up the weight of similar size composite boards (e.g. Isle 2) and was seeing more like 24lbs. I googled "competition SUP" and found some at 17lbs in the same length as my inflatable, but much narrower and 100lbs lower in max weight capacity than the inflatable SUP of the same weight.

For kayaks, high end drop stitch kayaks are about half the weight of rotomolded plastic ones of the same size, and only slightly heavier than skin on frame kayaks made from exotic materials, which are the lightest kayak technology and slightly lighter overall.
Don't dwell on it too much. I thought the same thing when I was younger - had no interest in my parent's hobbies - but eventually they came back around as I got older and I realized I actually knew more about plants & plumbing than I thought.
