As someone who’s written a lot of Clojure and have been using it on and off since 2009, this looks like decent quality code to me.

I think it’s just a familiarity thing. Clojure is different from most languages in that it’s a lisp and it’s immutable-first functional. That gives it a bit of a learning curve compared to other languages, but I find other simpler languages quite dificulte to read until I’m familiar with them, too.
GTK has no relationship to tcl/tk whatsoever.
Yes you've nailed it. The P&V translations respect the way Russians construct thoughts and sentences, even if it differs from the way English speakers typically do so. This is (in my opinion) very important for showing the reader what the writer is really trying to say, and also getting the feeling that you are really immersed in the Russian culture while you're reading the book.
Terrible translations by people who do not have a firm grasp of the language they're translating from, nor the language they are translating to, nor any literary understanding of either languages, or the context the works were written in, or the context of the verbiage used in english, or any knowledge of what translations should be.

But they do have great marketing.

Depression very clearly is both a hardware issue and a software issue.

rolled 0.6 on hardware + 0.4 on software = 1.0

rolled 0.4 on hw + 0.6 on sw = 1.0

rolled 0 on both = 0.0 = maximum depression

rolled 1 on both = 2.0 = golden retriever with good owner
Hm... sounds like distinction without a difference to me.

Can you source that it is actually legal to say that an ethnic group of people have a lower IQ, in Sweden?

I live in Sweden, and can attest to my own knowledge of the law, whilst not being a lawyer, that it is not legal. Let alone, reasonably possible therefore to have these things published in a journal here.
Yeah the scrolling is handled by Clay rather than being native (everything has position: absolute and there's almost no nesting). It's very cool but I don't know if I'd want to ever use it for a website. Native apps though, might be worth trying out.
Looks like an APL project? That's really cool!
GTK provides slots and signals, through an admittedly baroque C-level implementation. Pretty easy to use, but try not to open the hood.
True, but eye size and the shape of the jaw are harder to alter in a salon. (In 50 years though, who knows!)
It probably shouldn't be called prompt engineering, even informally. The work of an engineer shouldn't require hope.
It’s not quite that simple, though. Yucca Mountain was supposed to be extremely geologically stable, and people still couldn’t swallow that pill.

You still need some level of containment along with environmental studies and the additional complexity of excavating a large underground cavern. Even then, someone will be concerned (possibly rightfully so) about groundwater contamination. Fracking is a prime example of how connected that all can be.
If the student only watches the content, and doesn't have the chance to be (1) tested on it, and (2) apply it over time, the learning is quickly lost.

That's my personal experience, and that's also the theory nowadays.

I mean, it's not worse than watching reality TV or sports or something. Maybe better - maybe consuming edutainment will inspire you to follow through and apply it.
In the strict sense, "civilization" will be over, and 99% of human life would be over. But sure, it won't end humanity with one CO2 doubling, although more than one doubling is quite possible.

Afaik, greenhouses usually concentrate heat rather than expel it. To expel heat, substantial air conditioning is required, which requires an industrial civilization, perhaps even some computing capacity for feedback control, and a powerful source of energy. I don't see these prerequisites being met. The few remaining humans could perhaps survive on Antarctica if they can shield themselves from the ozone hole and UVC radiation.
depends on if you consider message passing (neuro-transmitters) in a graph NN as a hardware or software.
I read once upon a time that when they attempted to do deep-drilling geothermal, they discovered that the surrounding rock loses too much temperature over a course of just a couple years to be useful. At least at the depths that can be drilled.
Two main advantages exist. One is that geothermal is not available everywhere. In some places, wells have to be absurdly deep. (The deepest one in finland is 4 miles deep) Second, the temperature of the nuclear reactor is much higher than the geothermal well, allowing you to get much more energy out of a single bore hole.
Once someone's lost touch with reality, maybe not. In the earliest stages? Maybe, yeah:

Show HN: Screen record cloud console tasks – get IaC
Hi HN, people often perform cloud ops via their GUI, but we strongly believe all things should be in IaC.

IaC can suck to write, and many people have no idea where to start.

Our thoughts were to let users convert screen recordings of cloud GUI actions, like creating an EC2 instance, into documented SOPs to share with teammates, and generating IaC templates to help move those manual actions towards safer, exportable IaC.

We think the documentation can be helpful to share with less technical folks who want guides to self-service provisioning, while the IaC can be good starting templates for engineers.

Curious on if the documentation piece or IaC generation is helpful.

It is in beta and available for free if you have a mac!

Would love any and all feedback (esp if you think it sucks), thanks HN :)

I'm from Florida, the article is correct - it's an awful deal. The ecology of Florida is capital A Amazing, so it's a shame to see it get flattened for a private golf course. Unfortunately the heat causes a lot of the aged (voting) population of Florida to not engage or mostly be annoyed by the unique gift they've been given. Regardless politicians are financially incentivized for these giveaways and the hoi polloi isn't.
Solar panels can still generate year round even when cloudy. It’s not as efficient sure but it’s not useless. That’s why you have a blend of renewables.
Manifest v2 is a bit tricky, because there are really three changes overlapping with each other:

- Manifest v3 site permissions changes

- Removal of protected APIs (like the blocking version of chrome.webRequest)

- Chrome Store code review changes that prohibit remotely loading sources

For now, you can either do nothing (as the rollout is not yet complete), or set the ExtensionManifestV2Availability policy to 2, which will still allow Mv2 extensions to be loaded.

That looks something like this on Linux:

echo '{"DefaultBrowserSettingEnabled": false, "ExtensionManifestV2Availability": 2}' > /etc/chromium/policies/managed/default_managed_policy.json

Apparently there's a registry key on Windows? There are plenty of guides out there.

At the moment, the only thing I can find in Chromium that uses that preference is some code that reports to Google on the impact of disabling Mv2.[1]

The other option is to follow their issue tracker and git history, and just revert whatever patches you don't like.

It still boils down to dumping. This is a hard problem.

You don’t want the global markets determining that you have a competitive disadvantage relative to peers and thus want to import all of your food and abandon your domestic production.

You also don’t want farmers hitting the prisoners dilemma issue of producing as much crop as possible because then farms die from competition. And again letting them die is not good for a critical industry like food.

Paying farmers to underutilize their land is a less insane idea than it sounds.
>then you are actually a racist, plain and simple.

This is not an argument and is just an inflammatory remark.
> "No amount of persistence and practice will let me dunk on Shaq, but high IQ people get dunked on all the time" should be a winner

How so? It seems you're not even speaking their language. Given that in their reality height and IQ are the same thing, your assertion contradicts itself. If no amount of persistence and practice will let you dunk on Shaq, why would tall people get dunked on all the time?

Be honest: You haven't really heard anyone claim that height and IQ are the same thing, have you?
So many think legal = moral. While they frequently coincide, they must always be viewed critically.
It may be slightly different that other forms of energy, because a large part of nuclear’s cost is regulatory compliance and political buy-in.
the cost is because of the never ending redtape and legislation around safety. every design is obsolete by the time it's built because there's a new regulation that must be observed - so we never achieved economies of scale.
I'd normally agree with you, but in the particular case of dark matter particles something still smells fishy. The theories that the predicted cross-sections are based on are just too flexible and numerous. I'm not sure how much we gain from ruling out yet more. What if there are in fact no weakly interacting particles? At what point do we decide that enough has been ruled out to start looking elsewhere? Like plasma dynamics or something (please don't shoot me if this is too silly to even contemplate).
Then the farmers are incentivized to overproduce every year because the government will buy the crops
I've been anxious about this for the past couple of years, to me the biggest challenge is that if you end up affected in the first few waves you face a real uphill battle: the stigma of unemployment or marginal employment will still very much exist, the cost of living in your general income bracket will still be based on the assumptions that most households are two earners on full wages, and macro adjustments (UBI? Mass re-training? other large scale policies?) won't have been implemented yet. I could easily see mid level white collar workers never be able to recover and fall down several pegs in their standard of living.
But views and norms are shared within a country and you can make accurate predictions about people based on their race, country of birth and country where they grew up.

- A white person from Sweden is likely to be pro choice by American standards. (95% chance. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion_in_Sweden#:~:text=A.... )

- An Egyptian is likely to think that FGM is normal and a good thing. (Over 85% https://egypt.unfpa.org/en/topics/female-genital-mutilation-.... )

- A Lebanese person will probably have antisemitic views (Over 85% chance https://global100.adl.org/country/lebanon/2014)

I recently went to a wedding. Who got drunk and started a fight? Was it the only Irishman?

I would predict that a white British person thinks that gun ownership should be restricted to military and police. A Swiss person will think that everyone should be given a rifle by the government. (Over 95 percent of Swiss households have a fully automatic rifle)

You can group people by ethnicity and nationality, then observe big differences between the groups.
All good points, all true. But what’s also true is that current trend is to come up with arbitrary-looking controls even on apps made by Apple themselves. Nobody knows what native is supposed to look like. I’m not saying it’s good, it’s just what is happening.

You could have a `ts` and a `js` directory. Compile ts from the former, ignore the latter.
Another issue not mentioned by others is that in some regions, geothermal plants have triggered earthquakes frequently enough to become unviable.
Can't wait to try this. One workflow I've started using is drafting/formatting in notion and then exporting to markdown. But having the visual editor of Github would reduce the steps.

I don't think either of those things need to cost much. Concrete casts are totally fine for long-term containment.
Show HN: Underthreaded – The Brand for Engineers
We've noticed a lack of quality engineering clothing. Sure, there's the standard t-shirt with code snippets and references, but that's not our style.

I find it hard to understand why we think it is possible to assume that the influence of genes and influence of environment are independent in this manner.

Given that we know that the environment affects how genes are expressed; and given that it's the genes that happen to be expressed which have more of an impact on intelligence than the genes one happens to 'have', then surely all research in this area which fails to account for interaction between (various) environmental impacts and genetics is bound to be futile?
A user's "home page" is valuable real estate for good reason. If they could have become the home page for a large number of users then they might have been able to monetize without losing those users, but that's a pretty big if on a convoluted path.
do you happen to know why we can't dump the energy into something like smelting, desalination or other heavy industry?
>how a file manager make sense as the centerpiece for building a business

Well, there are Total Commander and other commercial file managers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_managers
We all use abstractions, and abstractions, good as they are to fight complexity, are also bad because sometimes they hide details we need to know. In other words, we don't genuinely understand anything. We're parrots of abstractions invented elsewhere and not fully grokked. In a company there is no single human who understands everything, it's a patchwork of partial understandings coupled functionally together. Even a medium sized git repo suffers from the same issue - nobody understands it fully.
I’d imagine if it was cost competitive with existing power generation methods people would be doing that already?
> As others have said it seems that digging isn't cheap. My question is, is it even safe ? Surely if there is an accident or incident, there are the same issues if not more, groundwater pollution for example, risk of explosion, potentially causing further natural events such as earthquakes ?

Digging isn't cheap if you wanted to drill a gas well for yourself. A mile would cost tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. Maybe even a million. A million is chump change when talking about a nuclear plant, which are priced either in the tens of billions or possibly even in the low hundreds of billions.

Groundwater is not a mile down.

Nuclear reactors cannot explode in the same way that nuclear weapons explode. But if they somehow could, a mile down isn't going to hurt anyone.

> This seems extremely blasé. "it will fix itself". By radiating the surrounding environment ?

Did you read the same article as the rest of us?
Wow. I remember this. I really wanted to work for them. I dreamed of giving the Gimp a giant overhaul.
It’s a tradeoff. You either make your app native but only for one platform, or you make it look “universal” and run on all three.
I would want today's bread, but I don't think this is really the same as your first mowing comment. If I bought bread today, I would expect the cost of bread I buy next week to be the same. If costs remain constant, it should be so, but that's unlikely, as price is the consensus of "what people are willing to pay" vs "the difficulty in providing the item"

> Lead me places buddy.

If, let's say, this baker was to create a new oven, that somehow magically, did not radiate heat, and so the input energy was DIRECTLY put into baking the bread. They, would be able to lower the cost to the consumer as they had less energy costs? They would be able, to make their process more efficient, by being less wasteful. (You could apply this to a new internal combustion engine too for instance.)

The bread does not become more valuable, but the difficulty to provide it has been lessened, because of entropy minimization.

Value, I believe, is a product of thermodynamics. Things are useful, because they allow you to be more efficient, and use less energy.
Are consumers being asked to pay for their panels, or for their connection to the grid?

Either way you have to buy the panels. What am I missing here?
The novelty here is that it does work on uncalibrated images.
Hard disagree. A solid chunk of the value in attending prestigious universities is being able to to drop names and logos in this exact case.

Exactly, I think the US ought to make some extremely ambiguous laws and fine EU companies, dollar for dollar.
Better to compare to fossil fuels, which kill far more people and animals both directly (eg. explosions) and indirectly (emissions).
Yeah, I also remember. It was the frothy time of the dot-com era where anyone with a novel idea could raise a couple millions. I was also scratching my head how you'd make money off Linux desktop users, considering there were very few of them, and they hated commercial software.

What is a splat?
I don't really like "bloated" as a descriptor, because it's so unspecific that it's hard to argue against. Does it mean the software is slow? Too cluttered and disorganized? Too feature-heavy? Compromised by backward compatibility?

In any case, Photoshop, Word, and Windows are not in Finale's position clearly, as they're still far and away leading their respective markets. So, whatever bloat they may have, it's not yet been fatal.

Other old software that's been kept current includes Maya, Blender, Firefox (Netscape), MacOS (NeXTSTEP). I'm sure there are many other examples.
It’s insane that we’ve allowed an entire layer of people that don’t understand or work at all and generally work entirely off of “vibes” (I’m talking about HR departments) to interest themselves into the hiring process. Just massively inefficient and wasteful.
Yes, it's a profound thing to threaten someone's livelihood, though at the same time, society will squash individuals when genuinely threatened; never doubt that for a minute. For a time, it seemed like the vaccines might stop transmission of covid, but that seems to have been a bust. They do, however seem to rather clearly help an individual's response to the virus, and so it seems like it became a matter of individual responsibility.

As to the fish thing, you understood me correctly - when we are born, we are thrown into a world we did not create and have vanishingly little control over, and seemingly less as wealth and power accumulate into the hands of a few. I'm told that well-adjusted people are capable of adapting to their circumstances, and it is a mark of mental illness that one can not.
I knew you could reformat NVMe drives to have 4096 byte instead of 512 byte logical sectors, but didn't know there was a standard command to also do that for non-NVMe drives. I might try that next time I get a new non-NVMe SSD.
Yes FreeBSD does generally benchmark lower than Linux. The BSDs typically prefer correctness and maintainability to aggressive micro optimizations. There’s nothing wrong with either approach, but I can usually follow FreeBSDs code much easier than I can GNU coreutils or the Linux kernel for example.

The BSDs also have excellent documentation. Every utility, kernel module, and system configuration file have robust man pages.
Big private companies / platforms like AWS or YouTube are basically like infrastructure utilities and should be regulated as such, to provide service to everyone without secret blacklists or censorship.
