And manufacturing the renewable electricity generation infrastructure isn’t zero emissions either.
We would like to have something like us. My daughter is just 3.5yrs old, she is inherently hard to train too, decades left. However, we find ourselves quite good.
That’s not what I experienced in the past, at least not with IEEE (I stopped caring after a while).
A lot of great comments here, yet none seem to mention that taking micro breaks from working to stretch and do a few reps is a GREAT way to stay in shape and get work done.

That's the thing, I'm not sedentary, though you don't have to go to a gym or run 5 miles to keep from atrophy and decline.

Try standing to work. The restless moving around is actually good for you, and can be channeled into a quick dozen rep. Do a different exercise every day.

The trick with anything is normalizing it as your habit. We are habitual creatures.

Two days, two weeks, two months, two years, and then for your decades. Make your basic care a part of your lifestyle and you will live well. Strength, energy, even a healthier look.

It's not false, it's misleading. Emissions are from exhaust only according to the EPA https://www.epa.gov/greenvehicles/smog-vehicle-emissions . Greenhouse gas and pollutants from building the vehicles and roads get lumped into another category. There is a valid reason for this, in that that's the main thing the EPA regulates with respect to vehicles, but it also lets people make misleading statements like this one.
also people who care about EVs tend to forget about tire wear and brake dust. Both are emitted in huge quantities, esp. tire microplastics, by EVs.

Slack additionally decides to hard-reload itself, seemingly without reason.

I work on the road (from a train / parking lot / etc) for five or six hours per week. My T-Mobile plan is grandfathered in, so I can't "upgrade" to a plan that allows full-speed tethering without considerably impacting my monthly bill.

Realistically, I hit around 1.5Mbps down. When Slack reloads itself, I have to stop _everything else_ that I'm doing, immediately, and give Slack full usage of my available bandwidth. Often times, it means taking my phone out of my pocket, and holding it up near the ceiling of the train, which (I've confirmed in Wireshark) reduces my packet loss. Even then, it takes two or three tries just to get Slack to load.
Probably more often than not
Cheap, easy, and wrong. It puts me a clear 800km away from where I'm actually sitting, and I'm sitting in a major UK city.

It's put me on the wrong continent before now. That was fun.

> American land of the free is being able to bring a gun to school but getting a fine because your grass is too tall.

What's wrong with bringing your gun to school? It was common (up until the 1970s, I think) to have shooting sports at school. That's how kids learned gun safety.
I went to an Italian restaurant while visiting London and sat for 30 minutes before asking why no one was taking my order; they said, oh, you have to order online. But there were no signs or anything. So, the next two nights, I went to the other Italian place next door, which was old school, and took orders from a server. Food was better, too. Technology is usually a good thing, but not when I'm hungry.
Agreed. I'm biased because my wife is an educator, but so so SO many edtech companies would benefit from hiring former teachers into business development/product roles instead of only hiring Ed.D/Ph.Ds for those roles, many of whom have limited field experience.

That said, maybe OpenAI did this?

It's funny how similar the problems that affect a workstation in Antartica are to designing a robust mobile app.

I personally think all apps benefit from being less reliant on a stable internet connection and that's why there's a growing local-first movement and why I'm working on Triplit[1].

I'm not quite sure how having to reprint paper menus is cheaper than a static CDN website. Especially if you have multiple locations.

As much as Restaurants moan and complain about raising prices, having to reprint menus isn't 0 cost whenever they want to add a new menu item, or change the prices.

And then you have to pay your servers to clean them from time to time.

As much as people hate this QR stuff, it's generally better, provided it works. Paper is always reliable, but if you can figure out a static CDN website, and create a QR code for it, it's going to be better for a restaurant that wants to change their menus on a semi frequent basis.
Okay, so now for someone not from the UK, I'm now curious what Jackie and Nextdoor means to someone from the UK. Is Nextdoor the same app for people living in neighborhoods, or is it a BBC show (I'd be interested in seeing it if so). Is the concept of Karen known as Jackie in the UK?

C'mon mate, exchange some culture!
Boston has successfully moved one highway underground (the big dig) and shot down an extension of I-95 (there are parks and a train route where it was planned now). The city is much better for it.
+1 to what vijayr02 said: you really need at least screenshots, and ideally just post the .z5 file with a link to iplayif so people can play it directly and see what you're talking about. Like this:

https://iplayif.com/?story=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Quuxplusone/Advent/gh-pages/advent.z8

I tried and failed to create the .z5 locally myself. It'd be easy if your script generated Inform code, but you generate ZIL, and the only tool I was able to find to compile ZIL is ZILF/ZAPF, which needs Windows. Here's how to create the "output.zil" file using your script...

git clone https://github.com/scottvr/wadzilla
cd wadzilla
curl -O "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dabignerd/doom-wads/master/zips/Doom%20(v1.9).zip"
unzip "Doom%20(v1.9).zip"
pip install bs4
python wadzilla.py --basewad DOOM.WAD

But then you need a ZIL compiler to proceed any farther. You can get a compiled ZILF.EXE (for Windows) here:

curl -O "https://ifarchive.org/if-archive/infocom/compilers/zilf/zilf-0.8.zip"

Or the C# source code and MSVC project files here (seems to use hg, not git, for version control):

https://foss.heptapod.net/zilf/zilf

But since I'm on Apple Silicon, both of those avenues seem to be dead ends. I verified that ZILF.EXE "cannot be run in DOS mode" as far as DosBox is concerned. There's a thing called WineskinServer that's allegedly supposed to let you run Windows code on Macs, but it didn't help me; I think it's trying to tell me that it needs some proprietary bits (the Windows-system-library equivalent of a disk image or a ROM) in order to do anything useful with an EXE file.

Sounds like the Bay Area. We don't like cars but we refuse to build comprehensive transit.

To build transit that works you cannot value everyone's opinion equally and have to just make it happen.

Some of the worst localized pollution I have experienced in my life was while living in the Bay Area with the massive traffic jams.

That much was obvious from ASU's testimonial on the page. This reads more as resume-driven development than "this product is actually solving problems for us"

> Besides, thinking that QR codes can replace servers seems to indicate to me that the article author has literally no idea what they're writing about, if they don't even understand the basic function of servers...

It just said QR code menus can speed up service, not replace servers. Seems logical to me that if servers are spending time bringing out food rather than standing around waiting for guests to tell them what they want and writing it down that service will generally be speedier.
>This is why they need to bring the proper folks to think through the problem - digital is great until it doesn't work and paper is just less of a pain for everyone.

There's a reason why pretty much all states use paper ballots instead of electronic-only voting. In both elections and retaurants, paper just works. It has minimal outside dependencies, has few failure modes, and we have processes in place to deal with corner cases.

Sure, electronics are flashier and more efficient, but I think HN can more than appreciate the truth that software and computers are brittle.

I mean in the same way communities organize conferences regularly without becoming publishers. Anyway if you want to call them publishers fine, as long as they are not giant behemoths who feed on large amounts of public money to do nothing.

At least when publishing was an actual market (instead of being just a money sink) the publishers had to actually do their job to survive.

"It's all made up cultural constructs" - THIS EXACTLY! Thank you.

It seems to me, that our cultural constructs of gender, long disembodied from the survival necessity that bore them, have been defined in ways that no longer match the way we live.

Perhaps our physical selves and public identity don't need to change at all.

Maybe, instead of all that, we should just redefine the words so that gender is as inclusive an idea as their are aspects of it.

One seems much easier than the other.
Mid 40s and I found that OrangeTheory twice a week and intermittent fasting works really well for me.

I was never able to do gyms before because I'm kind of ADHD and completely lack the motivational skills to push myself effectively during my workout. However, the guided, group workouts actually work really well for me because my natural social tendency is to just do what everybody else is doing.

Also walk my dogs at least 1 mile every evening.
I don’t think so because in the health risk case it must be very tiny bits falling off that gets you. People aren’t swallowing pieces of water bottle, it poisons you slowly over time (carcinogens).

It could be that the shell has tiny bits that fall off easily when exposed to water but the inside is durable, but AFAIK it is a homogenous material.
I'd rather see efforts to make mass transit more attractive and encourage its use in a POSITIVE way, rather than using a stick of clogging the roads and punishing people into using mass transit. Win the market, don't just quash what you don't like.

I can imagine this easily being responded to negatively in the end and the political response is to give in and the pendulum swings wildly in the other direction.

In the end these are policy decisions that can change and I can imagine this backfiring long term in some ways.

60% fewer civilians died in this conflict in 2+ years than in Gaza in 6 months. Official UN data. Also, at least half those killed are killed by Ukrainian artillery. Ukrainian officials are on video calling them non-human, biological waste, “unnecessary”, and calling for ethnic cleansing of Donbass of its 4 million inhabitants. You can easily find this on YouTube. All because these people did not agree to go along with Victoria Nuland’s coup. Moreover, Russia has (thus far) accepted 3M+ Ukrainian refugees. There’s a flash mob on TikTok of them tearing up their Ukrainian passports and showing off Russian ones.

I've also found that the AWS and Azure consoles behave this way. While not listed in the blog post, they load JavaScript bundles in the tens of megabytes, and must have a hard-coded timeout that fails the entire load if that JavaScript hasn't been downloaded inside of a few minutes.

To Amazon's credit, my ability to load the AWS console has improved considerably in recent months, but I can't say the same for Azure.

I’m guessing the author is counting himself as CTO as part of that. $60 million for the CTO and his posse of senior managers and VPs, and the other $40m split between 180 non management engineers for $220k ish each. Still stupidly high costing now matter how you slice it.
Physical systems don't care about your feelings. Live somewhere that ignores science and is financially irresponsible with infra dollars if that is your MO. We're not going to spend to build roads forever because people are ignorant and selfish, we can't even pay for the road infra we have today. And some folks are demanding more? Absolutely silly. "I'm not happy they're not building roads we cannot afford and will end up congested again, won't you think about my happiness!"

Bringing morality into an economic, fluid dynamics, and behavioral argument is not helpful, and the private car entitlement (which is demonstrably unaffordable and unfunded long term) is wild.

It would be one thing if the QR code URL redirected to the restaurant's webpage with an HTML menu (even a PDF menu, as long as it's within an obviously restaurant-affiliated domain). The thing I found particularly obnoxious about restaurant QR codes was that the menu PDF would often be hosted on some random-ass site obfuscated via a URL shortener. So scanning a URL and immediately being prompted to open a PDF from a random domain is a big no-no for me. And frankly, I think it's dangerous to the world at large to normalize that kind of behavior, given how prone PDFs are to malware.

There's a difference between the Board of Directors accusing their CEO of wrongdoing, and a ex-Director doing the same thing on a personal capacity.

Obviously the Board has access to legal advice (and probably would risk trouble if they ignored it since they have additional fiduciary duties as Board members), but Toner probably doesn't retain a lawyer for this kind of stuff and when one doesn't have an official position they generally have fewer legal liabilities to worry about.
Yep. I’m a JS dev who gets offended when people complain about JS-sites being slower because there’s zero technical reason why interactions should be slower. I honestly suspect a large part of it is that people don’t expect clicking a button to take 300ms and so they feel like the website must be poorly programmed. Whereas if they click a link and it takes 300ms to load a new version of the page they have no ill-will towards the developer because they’re used to 300ms page loads. Both interactions take 300ms but one uses the browser’s native loading UI and the other uses the webpage’s custom loading UI, making the webpage feel slow.

This isn’t to exonerate SPAs, but I don’t think it helps to talk about it as a “JavaScript” problem because it’s really a user experience problem.
I am not saying LLMs will solve this, hopefully some future tech will.

Can you solve the problems you have posed with some reliability? If yes, there’s a good chance it’ll be automated at some point.

HOAs are not a story of free association. They are a story of privatization.

We used to have local government deal with local governance. But local governments decided they didn't want to do that anymore, so they started encouraging the creation of HOAs to deal with all of those pesky local governance issues.

If all thar mattered was free association, the fix would be very simple. Enshrine into the the right to leave an HOA. But states won't do that, because once people leave, they will except their local governments to start providing the same services the HOAs do, and all of those local governments are going to complain to the state government.
