If part of your build is building your own build tool in order to ensure you have the proper build tool then why not build a different “better” build tool?

Part of the premise of Make is its ubiquity, but if you can’t rely on that save as a simple bootstrap (as you seem to be doing) then why not forego it for something else?
> The more inclusive part of this game was barely talked about because most don’t care and have realized they the world is bigger than their narrow view.

This is never the problem with games that fail due to "woke" things. You, probably like the Concord devs, have a different definition of "woke" to the critics, and until you realise that you'll continue to make this mistake.

Strange that someone down-voted you, as this is a fair question.

> Curious how you found this number, have a source?

I don't have the source handy but have seen the estimated 10 million figure cited repeatedly. But maybe it is about a million too high, as the US Department of State estimates nine million in this 2020 publication: https://travel.state.gov/content/dam/travel/CA-By-the-Number...

This Wikipedia page has a lot more info for those interested: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emigration_from_the_United_Sta...

Using FVAP stats to me seems problematic, because just like the general population, many US citizens do not bother registering to vote (though they do acknowledge this on the page you linked to and try to control for it).

State likely have a more accurate estimate from knowing how many passport renewals originate from overseas addresses. I am sure some Americans renew or replace their passports while merely travelling overseas, but I cannot imagine this is a routine practice.
Yea, plastic in a landfill is basically the perfect form for 'carbon capture'. For those that think that carbon needs capture.

But acting like plastic isn't 100% bad goes against the narrative, and happens to align with those who don't think carbon needs capture. Just throw it away.

> with just more rudimentary metrics

I think this is actually the answer: the word "just" is doing a lot more heavy lifting here than first meets the eye.

The digital era has brought a lot more quantifiable data, and with that has come a much easier (and in many cases automated) comparison, value-attribution, calculation of the probability of success, etc. The article speaks to this in the second half.

Previously this was largely impossible outside of government and other organisations with dedicated statistic collection. The author talks about how even sales numbers for authors were very imprecise and easy to exaggerate or fudge.

You could argue that the Digital Era has turned some of "life" (or at some of "art") into one big Goodhartian[1] parody.

That said, it does feel like the author has stopped believing that art has intrinsic value - and that its value might be different for different people, including the author. That is pretty much the mental step you need to take to end up in the parody to begin with.

TIL: The conversation is just easier when bugs, security holes, fraud, abuse, chicanery, etc are treated as kinds of defects.

Phrases like "fraud" and "exploit" are insta-stop conversation killers. Politicians and managers (director level and above) simply can't hear or see or reason about those kinds of things. (I can't even guess why not. CYA? Somebody else's problem? Hear no evil...?)

QA/Test rarely receives its needed attention and resources. Now less than ever. But advocating for "fixing bugs" isn't a total bust.

I think I've seen it more commonly in the Golang ecosystem, for some reason. Also not sure how common it is nowadays, but seen lots of deployments (contained in Ansible scripts, Makefiles, Bash scripts or whatever) where the migration+deploy is run directly in sequence automatically for each deploy, rather than as discrete steps.

Edit: Maybe it's more of an educational problem than something else, where learning resources either don't specify when to actually run migrations or straight up recommend people to run migrations on application startup (one example: https://articles.wesionary.team/integrating-migration-tool-i...)

First time I visited the Rijksmuseum I was of course excited to see the night watch. I found it on a side wall, 20x15 cm and was really surprised. I was expecting something more grandiose.

But never mind, I love paintings from that era so I went on admiring the others.

At some point I was in the middle of the central corridor and it then hit me... Wow.

Before getting to the main part of the museum, there were two temporary exhibitions. One was about doll houses and the other was about the activities (work) on a 17th century ship.

The latter was amazing. I was traumatized by the surgeon work, and his 5 tools... 5 tools to handle all injuries - how happy I am too live in France in the 21st century
Chinese EVs are not concepts or prototypes. they're in mass production already.

outside of China, yes, they're probably a rare sight. in Chinese cities however, from what I saw, a double digit percentage of cars are their EVs - which is a lot of cars in a country with 1.5 billion people.

don't take my word for it, there are probably plenty of videos on youtube that show and discuss Chinese city roads.

> I think reprocessing is actually cheaper than creating a new rod because you don't have to do as much enrichment of the uranium material.

It's not cheaper, at least not with current uranium prices:

* https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/PURANUSDM

* https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/uranium

* https://world-nuclear.org/information-library/nuclear-fuel-c...

Prices would need to about double before break-even AFAICT:

> Under the range of fuel cycle unit costs evaluated in this report, unit costs for uranium ore concentrates and PUREX reprocessing have the greatest impact on the overall fuel cycle costs for both fuel cycles. Assuming that other fuel cycle cost components are at the nominal values, the fuel cycle costs for a once-through fuel cycle will be lower than those for a plutonium recycle when the unit costs of uranium are $312/kgU ($120/lb U3O8) or lower, and PUREX reprocessing costs are $750/kgHM (kilogram heavy metal) or higher.

Very much so, we handle these very differently for $client.

Schema migrations are versioned in git with the app, with up/down (or forward/reverse) migration scripts and are applied automatically during deployment of the associated code change to a given environment.

SQL Data migrations are stored in git so we have a record but are never applied automatically, always manually.

The other thing we've used along these lines, is having one or more low priority job(s) added to a queue, to apply some kind of change to records. These are essentially still data migrations, but they're written as part of the application code base (as a Job) rather than in SQL.
That fuel is totally depraved, and has no hope of salvation.
I feel the same.

One thing that I have struggled with in relationships is that others need to feel validated, that their decisions are rational and that other people believe that they are rational. Stimulus from the outside to satisfy the inside.

What makes this difficult for me is that I don’t need to feel validated, I am comfortable with my own decisions in life and do not need someone else to approve. I think this ties into self worth which seems to be related to people’s perception of their actions and the approval they see from others. If you do not need external validation then you are not concerned about peoples perception of you and therefore self worth is a foreign concept.

Are propylene and isobutylene really in such high demand that this process is worthwhile, as opposed to chucking all plastics (without sorting) into a plasma gasifier, which for plastics generates just syngas?

Out of curiosity, how often are new plastics invented, and how often are those plastics difficult to recycle?

For example I'm finding that modern computer cables are sheathed in a much more durable (less brittle) form of plastic than those from 10+ years ago. Or is that just the addition of pthalates?

Edit: plasma gasification does still produce tar, as per [1], but much less than standard gasification. There isn't much review on the effects of applying plasma gasification to plastics.

It’s not so different from mid 2000s BioWare culture (where many hits were created). Games looked like a shitshow right till the end and the general answer to these conceran was faith in “BioWare magic”.

Sure, different track record but still, this kind of mindset is the norm more often than not because of an industry where failure of the project also means loss on job - so there’s no incentive whatsoever for studio level people to flag in progress failure that may lead to a studio closing.

Sure, if you only look at it from the developer perspective. From the player perspective, having a centralized location to find and download games is massive. I'm not saying there aren't tradeoffs, but looking at it from only one side ignores all of the reasons that it's successful in the first place.

BPA might have its negatives, but it at least locked itself and all the other chemicals into the product.

> This is great, and most of the comments here seem to either miss the days of the StarTAC _or_ would gladly enjoy a physically bigger device.

If HN had its way, iPhones would be made from through-hole components and 7400 logic. The battery would last all of approximately 13 minutes… so it would be not just possible, but actually necessary to swap the battery in seconds.

Ideally, the phone would be slightly unreliable (MTBF of no more than 200 hours) so that every user could experience the joy of troubleshooting the bad component and soldering in a replacement themselves.

Maybe Apple could even include a sacrificial capacitor in the power supply that is just slightly under-spec’d. That would also give users the opportunity to “soup up” their iPhones by installing a better capacitor in that one location.

It would be illegal to sell them without including (in the box with the phone) a 3000 page printed service manual containing not just schematics, but a detailed theory of operations and full source listing. Nobody would actually look that these, of course, but it’s the principle of costing the manufacturer money that matters.

Such a device would be not small. After all, you need to have room to work inside the engine bay^H^H iPhone and you don’t want the components packed in too tight to support easy maintenance. That space would also promote airflow from the three fans necessary to cool all those 7400 ICs.

I've pulled 8in long seedlings out of the bin; it's sad. "Why didn't you grow when you were out in the light, in a pot? When you could have been something? Why did you try to grow here in the dark and dry where no one would see you until too late?"
The article and this page even have pictures of two different people.

Because the iGPUs aren't keeping pace, and many of the biggest/most popular titles continue to push the envelope of fidelity.

Ray tracing for example is becoming much more prevalent, and (done correctly) adds a significant amount of both immersion and overhead to the experience. It is inherently an expensive operation for GPUs, so much that most implementations rely on upscale to make it viable.

Your laptop analogy doesn't really work here; mobile chip implementations are indeed slower but can be measured as a modest percentage drop in performance to their desktop counterparts. Meanwhile, most iGPUs are orders of magnitude slower than many entry level dedicated solutions, especially for sustained performance.
