I think it's a question of being able to do something, even though it's not great doing it, but the alternative might be worse.

I have a Logitech MX something or other which has the charging port where the cable would be if it was wired, so I can charge it while using it. But as you say, the provided cable is so stiff, it's a total PITA to use it. In practice, I never charge my mouse while using it. But if the battery were completely drained and I had to use the mouse right now (it's connected to a desktop, so no touchpad), I could, instead of having to wait around for 10 minutes or however long it takes for the mouse to become usable again.

Speaking of mice, the best one I've had was a Logitech G703 or similar, which would convert to wired mode if you plugged in the charging cable to the computer. The cable was also quite great during use, much suppler than on most common wired mice.
My numbers might be slightly out of date. It makes sense for energy generation to have grown recently.

For oil and gas energy usage, you should take into account that usable energy and energy consumption are two things. When electrifying, you typically end up needing less energy overall. The notion of replacing oil twh with solar twh is simply wrong. This is something the IEA gets wrong in most of its reports. Which is one reason why their estimates and predictions keep having to be corrected by them every few years.

A good example is ICE cars vs. EVs. A gallon of gas represents about 33.7 kwh of energy. A Tesla can do over 4 miles per kwh. Most ICE cars get nowhere near 120 miles per gallon. Anything over 1 mile per kwh of gas is actually pretty good. Especially for bigger cars. So, an ICE car wastes about 70-80% or more of its energy (heat, noise, vibrations, friction, etc.). You see the same pattern in other sectors where electrifying usually also means improved efficiencies. Most Teslas only have 2-3 gallons worth of kwh in the car. An ICE car with a tank that small would have a terrible range.

So, a doubling or tripling of electricity generation might actually be good enough to replace most fossil fuel usage.
Just run regular shuttles between points A and B. Each participating truck has a connector on the front and one on the back, so that together they only occupy a single traffic lane.

Any visual resemblances to a train are strickly coincidental.
Interesting idea ! That makes me think about a system where you can reply to multiple comments at once.
I'm struggling to understand the mindset in which this seems "corrupt".

The post isn't happy that cloudflare offers free DDOS protection, instead they are so upset that using the free level doesn't allow you to revoke their certificate for your website that they accuse cloudflare of being corrupt.

That's grossly unfair to cloudflare. If you didn't want them to have a certificate for your website, don't give it to them!
This kind of garbage data and opinions really gets me seething in anger. Why do people continue to throw gender studies, law, medicine, business and engineering into the same pot?

For medicine, to become a doctor, you literally HAVE to go to college/university and becoming a doctor is the best guarantee that exists to live a life in wealth. Pretty much the same requirements, with more wiggle room, for most engineers, with less of the guarantee. Some business degrees set you up for a lucrative career as big4 consultant. And many liberal arts degrees set you up for a future as Starbucks barista and life long student debt.

college != college
it seems like an excuse to introduce banner ads below the video for non-premium users.

EDIT: on second thought, about the nudge to use the comments section comes across as tone deaf.

comments to me appear as a portion of the page visited by a small fraction of users as is. meanwhile, it is spammed with spam and phishing comments generated by ever-changing means. (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38652681)

without fully addressing this issue, exposing the comments to more users will probably lead to an increase in more outroar.

on the other hand, more people need to see "who is listening this in May 2024?" comments on a song that came out last week. /s
That's the first thing I thought. Is that part of the minimalism? An oversight? As a used an April with 31 days makes me question the basic competency of the site, I'd relate it to poor copy. However, I do adore the stripped back aesthetic, and I hope this demo can inspire some UX evolution for calendars.
(Physical button, but…) There are many reasons why I dislike the Apple Touch Bar, but the most important one was that – as a software developer – I’m used to resting my finger on the F5 button.

Actually I loved it. I dont think they have any grounds to sue. Its different and close enough. Also they wouldn’t sue a project on github, if they do they show their faces its worse for them. Also many forks will happen and they have to sue many. Worst case you change the name of the repo. Thats the power of open source ;)
The Cacti Weathermap is a plugin for the Cacti network monitoring system that allows you to create live network maps from the network statistics you already have. It uses data collected by various plugins, such as RRDtool, MRTG, SNMP, fping, etc., to show you an overview of your network activity in map form. You can customize the appearance and layout of your maps, and use different icons, backgrounds, colors and fonts. You can also add links, labels, notes and legends to your maps.

Any parent knows that toddlers are constantly bashing thier heads off things because they’re top heavy and learning to walk they constantly fall over and tumble off things. One of my daughters used to constantly have a lump on her head from smacking it off something. My friends son used to run full tilt into things like brick walls given half a chance, the noise it made was awful. I stand to be corrected on this but if I remember rightly the male scientist who came up with shaken baby syndrome didn’t have kids and hadn’t considered the possibility that these types of injuries could be self inflicted.
California has plenty of water, it's just dedicated far too much of it to farming in what would naturally be arid areas. It would be politically impossible to make farmers pay the real price for desalinated water, so what might happen is retail customers have to pay the high price for desalinated water while the remaining ""free"" water is routed to agriculture.

Yeah righto
It really just depends. I went to a community college and took maths through calculus 3, a discrete math course, some gen eds like history, english composition, etc. But there are also those kind of remedial adult education and specialized "how to" courses as well.
If you think they're lying and don't trust their methodology: there are other polls that show a similar trend in sentiment [1][2]

Not only that, but it opens the project up to having to deal with a trademark cease and desist letter and then having to rebrand. Preplexity would be obligated to send one in order to protect its trademark if they become aware of this. How are seemingly decent software developers so unaware of anything besides coding?
From my experience the reason $GOPATH has pkg, bin src directory was they wanted to limit spread of affecting the filesystem, I could zip my go directory put it in another computer and still works as good as before, I hated Python because it couldn’t do this even pyenv have high chances of it not working correctly if changed to a different distro and most times I don’t wanna download 500M of anaconda everytime I swap.
Interesting. Here are the API endpoints for that host, I wonder if any are relevant.

Many (most?) registrars add DNS you didn't explicitly ask for, like an A record on the root that says "this domain was purchased from Namecheap" or whatever.

Do you know of a registrar that doesn't do that?
> The alternative is having the worldview that money is something that shows up on your bank account on the first days of the month.

I think that is how normal people (is the term "unsophisticated investors" or does that mean something importantly different?) view sock market investments — sure, it says your investment may go down as well as up, but how many normal people doing investments act like that's true?
>I think attending college may have value in terms of social life.

College has a monopoly on social life if you're in the late teens/early 20s. I believe this is part of the reason it is still such a popular option, to the point that people will pay extortionate amounts to do useless degrees.

If you're thrust straight into work that isn't stocking shelves or being a fry cook you won't be around people your own age and it's very alienating. I'm in my early 20s and have considered changing course despite having a successful SWE career to go back to university just so I can have a social life.
I think that the domain is hard coded so you can import the module from any git repo and not depend on a central repository.
I'm sad that Rescue Raiders doesn't get the credit it deserves. I'm not going to argue that it's the original Real Time Strategy game because people are vehement that it's NOT an RTS. But I think it is and it's amazing that it came out in 1984.
The problem is how student loans work in America. They can't be defaulted on, so they loan to anyone, even people who can never pay them back.

If they could be defaulted on, the loans companies would have to figure out which degrees they should loan to, and not everyone would go to college and get a degree that will never pay back.
Fairphone 5. Yes it's expensive, although not quite as expensive as a flagship, but it's by far the most consumer friendly phone there is.
a lot of applications (especially GTK3/4) will go buggy if they open at all on 1bpp display. Generally anything that does not report TrueColor RGBA8888 or RGBx8888 as first visual will trip them up.
Re (1, assignment of conditional), I tend to avoid this construction, though I don't stress about it too much in code review. It's just fairly easy to lose track of the fact that an assignment is occuring except in the most simplest of cases. I also extend this to implicit return -- like with explicit self I used to be militant that explicit return was always clearer and safer. However, in an "idiomatic" short method I think it's fine, you must understand and be cognizant of Ruby's return semantics no matter what. However, once it becomes clear that there is a chance someone will lose sight of the fact that we're doing a bigass return statement in this huge block of conditionals, I employ explicit return.

I'm also a huge fan of using early return to handle edge cases and exceptional cases. This is something a lot of developers disagree with me on, but I've never been sufficiently convinced to avoid it.
> I think one can do an engineering job as easily with or without a degree.

What is missing from that thought is: can everyone learn online what's required to do an engineering job? No.

There is something fundamentally wrong with the education system, but I don't think that promoting it as a scam is a good thing. Nor do I think that saying "anyone with internet can learn X to do Y" is fair - because while it's true anyone can, but the missing detail is that not everyone can.

My anecdote is that I enjoyed both systems - college and learning on my own, and I think they complement each other.
I'll be working on exporting your data as markdown next! I agree, it's a great feature for this app.

Also thanks for pointing the calendar discrepancy, I'll look into this!
Prominently displaying “AI” labels on all this garbage content is surely gonna bite them in the ass when it comes to the public perception of a technology they seem to be going all-in on…
Also for those interested in learning more about how education takes place in Denmark you'll see a lot of crap about "the pedagogy of education" and a bunch of teachers espousing their personal philosophy of learning. Ignore them. Look at what the students actually do, look at what the parents complain about, and look at the passing grades (30% on a MC questionnaire).

From about age 11 they are introduced to GeoGebra, Maple, etc. and the remainder of their education focusses on translating problems from paper into the computer and hitting solve - the result is unsurprisingly a bunch of students who "are great at mathematics" but don't even understand what a %age is (I took to helping my uni classmates who were struggling and I blew a guys mind when I explained %ages are just fractions, take the number and divide it by 100).
> People forget that a lot - if you raise wages you also have to raise prices, which ends up hurting the exact people you are raising wages for.

This is simply false. It’s false just thinking about it, and it’s false from multiple economic studies in the real world. It’s a common falsehood spread by corporations, but it’s false.

First, you can’t have it both ways and say companies “can’t raise prices without losing sales” and then turn around and say, “if you raise wages, you have to raise prices” and “people are paid according to their economic value”. If all of these statements are true, then no one could ever be paid more than their starting wage, because if their pay increased, then sales would go down due to price increases. Even if a person’s perceived economic value increased, they could never be paid commiserate with their value, because that would lead to a decrease in sales. This is obviously false.

Minimum wage increases simply don’t lead to price increases or unemployment or any of the sky is falling predictions typically touted. We’ve known this for over 30 years now. Of course, lest we forget, the federal minimum wage of $7.25 has been fixed since 2009, months much represents a real wage cut in 2024.
Huh? So reactos shouldn't say they build an alternative to Windows? As long as you build it yourself and don't steal any resources or secrets, there is no problem mentioning that it's an alternative or replacement for another product. What's much more dangerous is picking a name for your own product that resembles the original.
I personally don't think one can do an engineering job properly without a degree, especially those that required a chartership like civil engineering.

What I agree, however, would be to break down the learning into smaller steps and going back to the apprentice where one learn and earn at the same time.
OP implied that we‘re experiencing the Bertha Benz moment of electric cars. Wasn’t my idea. I just spelled out the possible implication.
If by benefit you mean existential risk, then yes. A big benefit. Although in the end, these kinds of markets might drift into oblivion as well, by virtue of being conquered by stronger states. So in that sense, it will all sort itself out. You may get slain by by communists, but at least you're not a communist yourself. So there's that.

That's not even the problem with student loans.

The problem with it is that they provide an endless firehose of money, that drives tuition costs up.
I don't know if Norman Guthkelch and John Caffey had kids, but Caffey wrote in his 1972 paper:

> Rhythmic whiplash habits of the infant himself during the first months of life, such as head-rolling, body-rocking, and head-banging may be traumatically pathogenic to his brain and its veins.

More generally, Caffey considered many types of mild shaking to be potentially dangerous, including "toys and recreational contraptions", "playful practices" etc. The notion that shaking had to be "abusive" to be pathogenic came in the 10 years afterwards.
> won't ever work for something like a consumer phone

Fairphone makes great repairable phones - I own one and couldn't be happier.
The revenue drop is more significant. Broadcom bought CA in 2018, CA had roughly $4b in annual revenue. Bought Symantec in 2019. Which had roughly $2B in annual revenue. The consumer version, Norton Locklife, now also has roughly $4b in revenue without the slash and burn experienced at Symantec. In roughly 5 years, the combined franchise has managed roughly $1.5b in annual revenue growth. VMware in the same period managed around $6b in growth. Roughly 50% growth in the top line, without the slash and burn approach. With the trust of the ecosystem. So, yes, in the short run, they will have some growth in revenue, but it slows down, quickly. Last year their infrastructure software revenue grew by 3% - the average inflation rate was 4.1%, they shrunk in the previous 12 months. So I'm not sure how this will all work out but given that they have a target of $94b to return to shareholders (dilution + the cash outlay). In Broadcom's Q12024 (which was historically VMware's Q4), VMware's contribution to Broadcom was down by $1B YOY. I am waiting for earnings reporting next month, but I'm not sure they will hit their target. Customers left. Their reputation preceded them.

That's quite an insight. I'm gravitating more towards linux especially after this copilot+ shit microsoft pulled out from the magic bag of tricks.

I noticed issues with nvidia too on linux however arch seems to run things pretty smooth for me compared to other debian based distros, so probably going to go with that.

I've been running arch in an nvme with an enclosure through usb c and tbh it is amazing but now considering just removing the windows drive and sticking with linux as the main driver while keeping windows in the enclosure since I do game time to time.

As for mac, have had an amazing overall experience with m1 but then i got the base model since i didn't have a few extra kidneys in me to sell to afford the max lol

but yes, seems like linux takes it home!
It's nice to see Interlisp restored and widely available but it's not Emacs. More a curiosity than something practical and it's looking like it still belongs in the 70s.

There's also Genera (in many ways the best but unfortunately still not widely available), Lispworks (commercial, lacks the features/userbase of Emacs) and a vast number of niche Lisp-based/Smalltalk-based/Forth-based environments that don't come close to the practicality of Emacs.

For all intents and purposes, Emacs is the 'best' freely available and most used Lisp machine we have today, a direct manifestation of Licklider's "Man-Computer Symbiosis".

The recent additions of sqlite3 and native compilation (MPS-based garbage collection is in the works) have significantly expanded the set of problems one can solve. I love Common Lisp but I barely touch it these days, as I tend to reach for Emacs Lisp instead. That's solely down to the evolution and practicality of Emacs.
For considerably long methods you are correct. But the rubonic ideal is shorter methods, and for such short methods, it doesn't provide much in the way of reducing cognitive load. As a reader, if you see no assignment prior to the access of the "prop", then it is a method. The problem comes when you can't fit the whole method on your screen, which is a pretty good rubric for whether you can fit the whole method in your head.
1. About Verbosity: that's not common nor idiomatic ruby. You'd much more often see a case statement there, and nowadays with pattern matching. It look like idiomatic python though...

2. About Long Expressions to Detect nil: rails devs have had Object#try fir many ears to avoid that, and &. syntax since ruby 2.3 (10 years?).

3. About Overuse of self, again, clearly the author hasn't done enough python... and that's hardly common, given the many options ruby gives you (ivar access, self-less implicit method calls...)

4. About Collecting Results in Temporary Variables, ruby has supported map/filter/reduce for more than 15 years. This was however quite common code to find years ago from ex-java devs...

5. About Sorting and Filtering in Memory, that's actually the only legitimate problem I can think of. However, I'd hardly consider that Ruby's fault, and more of a superpower of composition of abstractions (datasets to enumerables) which should obviously be handled with care (and perhaps linked against? Does ruboxop support smth of the kind?)

Actual thing I see many times and should be avoided: construction an hash of options first, then pass it as kwargs:

opts = {
foo: 1,
bar: 2
}
meth(opts)

I have a degree of some (pretty OK) French business school, and been working as a developer for 8 years already

I always find myself reading some random courses that I find around on Internet; so many times I wished to have followed a well organised, coherent theoretical learning track, for ex, in compilers

Is my business degree worth it? I paid it dearly, around 12000/y for 3 years, it adds absolutely nothing to the ability to perform my job.

It does however, act like a signal for recruiters, signalling that I am "smart enough", and multiple times I found that it did play a non-negligible role

given the statistic, is it high time for legalization at federal level?

as an outsider, doing something non-essential daily rarely has a net-positive effect. the roadblocks in research in this field is primarily due to the above restrictions, and it is better to have more research sooner than once this becomes widespread.

regardless, a philip morris of cannabis is in the works as we speak.
> I think one can do an engineering job as easily with or without a degree.

In theory. In practice, few people have the intelligence and discipline to self-study engineering subjects for a couple of years - that's what higher ed schools are for. I sure as shit wouldn't end up in software engineering (by far the easiest branch of engineering to self-study and get a job in) without doing my CS degree - my motivation and tenacity when I was 20 years old weren't nearly on the level required.
The ATACMS missiles that Ukraine is getting are soon to be expired because they are reaching their end of life (of course they are still in production but it shows these are not the current generation)

The current generation missiles "PrSMs" have not been given to Ukraine

The M777 howitzers are from 40 years ago

The stinger missiles have been used in the Afghanistan war

Even the F-16 planes are from 30 years ago

And Patriot air defense systems are several decades old

So it is fair to say that Ukraine has been using mostly older weapons
I’m having trouble comprehending its size compared to other airplanes, including commercial ones. A 737-900 has a smaller wingspan (40 vs 35m), but with B-21’s shape so akin to fighter jets, you instinctively think of it as being smaller than it actually is.
FYI, the article you’re commenting on goes into details that show nothing you said is correct.
