This is of course untrue, given that we know that there are people who have changed their behaviour after learning about realities through articles such as this one. And a huge percentage of people still haven't learned about them. In one's highly-educated HN-reading savvy bubble, it might be easy to assume that surely by now everyone knows the realities, has seen all of them, and if they behave a certain way it's simply due to the degree to which they care.

I've been prone to such biases myself, but the truth is very different. Billions of people, including hundreds of millions in wealthy regions, still simply do not know about this. They genuinely do not know that e.g. plastic recycling is a fantasy. They have not seen these images. Of course, many have and just don't care as long as their streets are pristine - the people you're talking about very much exist. But there's even more people who are simply unaware.

It's very easy to take a nihilist view that nothing matters, as it completely absolves oneself of any potential responsibility whatsoever. But it doesn't reflect reality.
Your claim about nuclear weaposn increasing the risk of being subjected to nuclear attacks has no historical basis. If anything, there is evidence for the opposite.

Even for private firearm ownership you'd need to show more than just correlation to make that claim.
This is a good point. However maybe the trouble comes from the word "find"? If a natural force such as gravity or thermodynamics results in a state of energy conservation, maybe that isn't the result of "finding"? I know it's a semantics issue but it seems to solve the conundrum. If you spend energy to discover information, vs letting nature take you there, maybe that's the delineation?
Hetzner VPS hosts have 10 GBit links.
The point is that the EU funders of course know this and turn a blind eye in order to keep the people in power in the regions supporting the EU. It's just how it has always been in Europe with vassals. Feudalism has always been the government of the old world, and will always be, and the people will always love it. Now get back to work so you can afford your rent or your mortgage. Funny how most all the ancestors of Europeans worked their whole life to pay the mortgage, yet it's still not paid!
The HTTP 1.1 spec isn't 175 pages long just for the fun of it. :)

One of the main advantages of roundabouts vs 4-way intersections is they force drivers to slow down, so this doesn't make any sense.
Being in Europe, I'm surprised you can get anything with coins in the States. I'd struggle to find much under €1.
I am trying to register on Hetzner and not able to. I get the account verification email but after verification I am not able to login to the account and also do not receive any Hetzner email with login or account information. Strange. Yeah, I am from from India, so maybe that's why. Anyone else? Who is not able to register?
Actually, it still uses ≤ 3 vs. = 4 arguments to distinguish between request callbacks and error callbacks. Check out the added lines to lib/router/layer.js in the commit you mention, or the equivalent functions in the current router v2.0.0 package [0].

Gas stations were no better. The eclipse traveled over many remote areas that never see more than 10 cars/hr on their roads. Suddenly there were thousands all at once. We went to northern NH and the ride back to the NYC area was unreal, taking 11 hours. Thankfully we had the forethought to fill up the morning before the eclipse.
Paying fair market price for energy and water is only fair if you don't need extra infrastructure put in place to support you. If you're expecting the local government to build you electricity generating capacity... No. That's not right.

At best, you're forcing old generation capacity that would have been retired to stay online. At worst you're forcing the government to take loans to invest in new capacity you may not be around to pay for in a few years, leaving the public finances holding the ball.
Physically rolling dice is part of the fun and can lead to laughable moments. Another soulless app.
Regarding batteries specifically, it should be illegal to produce any device without user-replaceable batteries. The EU is at the forefront of these initiatives[1], as usual, so hopefully this trickles out to other governments.

Batteries in EVs are also a growing problem, for both production and disposal. Hopefully we'll have similar regulations there as well.

Physical outputs like photo albums and notebooks or documents. Then provide a digital copy as well, physically. Keep the formats as simple as possible, plain text, and video/photo formats that are universal, also document what the formats are for each category of content.

I don't think there's any online digital method that can be guaranteed. Also, this may be hard to accept, unless you led an extraordinary life (I'm talking about your name being known by like 1000 actual humans for something specific, social media doesn't count), a generation or two later the media is most likely to be lost. Fires, storms, random thumb drives getting thrown out, etc. Think of how often you look back at content about your grandparents, for me its like once a year I'll look at the compiled genealogy a family member put together.
The B-17 was a big marketing and propaganda coup.

It was pretty much obsolete at the beginning of the war. The “Flying Fortress” moniker, the (mostly bullshit) notion that the bomber would always get through and defend itself, the powerful imagery of battered bombers coming home, and the terrible sacrifices made by the crews made it a legendary symbol.

The B-24 wasn’t a pretty plane. The B-29 came too late in the war, and was only deployed in the Pacific.

Personally, I find the glorification of the daylight bombing campaigns increasingly gross as I get older. Those men paid a very high price and I wonder if that sacrifice was truly justified.
I don't think that macroeconomics is an empirical field, so when people say 'it's textbook stuff' that doesn't impress me. I don't believe the textbook. People want to pretend that economics is like physics or chemistry, but it simply isn't true. Imagine if I said something was 'textbook sociology', would you have to then drop all objections?

Reminder that in the last 30 years economists have variously told us that there's a (high) natural rate of unemployment that we couldn't change (has recently been completely debunked). That raising the minimum wage costs jobs. That bank deregulation is good. And so on. It's just not an empirical field, so I don't believe what's in the textbook. It's also open to lobbying from for-profit entities for specific viewpoints, in a way that a real science usually isn't
They may have, but here in central EU they stopped to save costs and now the only option on many banks is having a smartphone.
I agree. I've been trying to learn functional programming for years. My brain just doesn't get it. And I've actually built a non-trivial web app in Elm, and started trying to write one in Gleam and I was very very slow and unproductive. Eventually I gave up and wrote the whole thing in Go + TS for the frontend.

For Gleam I was trying to write the whole FE + BE in the same language - I really like that it can be compiled to JS, and I'm honestly sick of the whole React + seven thousand dependencies game, so I was using Lustre (an Elm-like library for Gleam). And again, I've programmed an app in Elm, after a lot of hair pulling, and in the end I didn't enjoy it that much.

I've gone through tutorials and I don't understand things like types having different wildly unrelated constructors, currying (I didn't notice much currying in Gleam but really disliked it in Elm, I cannot follow past the first or second arrow). For writing the front end of the app, I would make _zero_ progress unless referring to other Github projects (and it was hard to find any since Gleam was so new). Anyway, if someone has a book or something that can teach me this stuff it would be great. I want to use the OTP and a single language for FE/BE that's not JS. I'm not dumb, I've been programming since I was a little kid, but maybe I'm too stuck in imperative models.
If one is obviously a main road then it's a two way. If neither is, then it's a four way. If the intersection is lightly trafficked then there's not any reason not to make it a four way because it won't cause meaningful delays anyway. When a county has several hundred country road intersections that get a few dozen cars or less a day through them, it doesn't make sense to even spend time studying each one. Just throw up some stop signs and consider the matter resolved.
It regurgitates the average human completion of a certain text/sentence. Guess which humans have been writing the average text related to these subjects. Not plumbers and bakers.
I was in a disaster zone without internet (or electric, except for my car) for two weeks. You are right, but neighbors end up sharing information pretty quickly when their preferred means of communication (ie internet, mobile phones) stop working. (AM radio still worked and could be received from a great distance, and TV might have been working, but I'm not sure because I didn't have a generator for the first ten days and after that it was for refrigerator and clothes washer.)
Sanctions cost poor people their lives. They have no effect on the wealthy other than to motivate the wealthy to route around them - which they always do.

Sanctions just don't work, never have and never will, and should be treated as crimes against humanity.
> Right but laws are only as good as their capability to enforce.

Enforcement of IP restrictions is built into hardware of all new computing platforms. It's easy to enforce them worldwide now - again, see Apple.
Huh you're right, they say their VPSes have 10gig but their dedicated boxes only have 1gig, even the really expensive ones. That seems backwards.
When I worked on a commercial HTTP proxy in the early 2000s, it was very common for servers to return off-by-one values for Content-Length - so much so that we had to implement heuristics to ignore and fix such errors.

It may be better now but a huge number of libraries and frameworks would either include the terminating NULL byte in the count but not send it, or not include the terminator in the count but include it in the stream.
Hardly a Tesla problem though, the grill culture of suvs and trucks is a thing because pedestrian safety is not a design consideration.
Did you read the blog post?

>The new roundabout needed to be built in the same space as the old intersection. To the east is a steep hill. To the southwest there are protected wetlands. There wasn’t space or budget to mitigate the potential impact in either direction.
given that only 2 branches of montremes exist in the present day. Its kind of a miracle we get to come on the scene as a species in time to see them because they are really not positioned to survive much longer wether or not we are around.

Scavenging e-waste for components feels so cyberpunk.

Sometime someone designed an IC, lithographed it on a high tech factory, soldered it onto a PCB and now it lies under your feet like billions of other rusty sharp parts, as if they were potato skins or plastic bags.

Just a few decades ago nations would start WW3 over this alien technology dump. Now they try find cheaper ways to sneak more waste into it.

Israel is committing what some experts are calling a genocide. In any case, they killed a lot of civilians. It can probably be debated whether this is noble or "striving to be better". But either way, the political beliefs and hobbies of the laureates aren't interesting to me, and I can't imagine the Nobel committee seriously taking this into account.
Well, they provided something and it’s from a reputable publication. You can wait around for more people to chime in or you can dig in yourself until then.

We are in casual conversation here.
FreeBSD was also more radical in dealing with off_t which became 64 bits since 2.0. Linux still has rudiments of old size in its 32-bit versions.

> One of which was the automatic cast of 32 bit function arguments to 64 bit during the function call.

AFAIU this works only for unsigned arguments (as loading to %edi clears upper part of %rdi). SysV ABI spec for x86-64 says nothing about extending all values in registers or stack to full 64-bit value, and comment on boolean (only LS byte contains something significant) suggests this is a common rule.
A prius has an electric drive unit that is about 1/4 the power of a full EV. It also is only really used for getting the car off from stops.
The last man standing against the sellout. Good man
Chunked transfer encoding can be a pain, but it's a reasonable solution to several problems: when the response is too big to fit into memory, when the response size is unknown by the HTTP library, when the response size is unknown by the caller of the HTTP library, or when the response doesn't have a total size at all (never-ending data stream).

I'm sure there are many other things still unknown and many things known but may change. Science is about discovery and many new discoveries are made even basic but also complex discoveries. Information known can change when new information is discovered. Science is not carved in stone it's not faith and corrections, updates are welcome part of discovery.

Let's think about the implied argument behind "why is this is a special case?". It is one thing to see this argument is deployed in a sincere effort to seek the truth and/or some better form of governance. It is another thing when this argument is simply a convenient thing to say to get what one wants.

There is often a nice antidote to the "why is this a special case?" argument that consists of two questions:

1. "What is your alternative?", and

2. "Is this alternative going to solve the problem better than what I proposed?"

In other words, if you don't like the current special-casey-ness of this policy, what alternative will you support that we can _actually_ put into practice?

If the person/organization does not actually support some workable alternative that will solve the problem better, that is quite telling! It suggests that solving this particular issue is not really a priority for them. Some people really are pedantic in the sense that they care about some logical consistency criteria more than solving particular problems. When one sees this in an individual, one might suspect various forms of confusion, poor prioritization, and maybe even some mental pathologies. When one sees this in an organization, particularly one making a public "argument", one should probably suspect they are deploying whatever argument suits their purpose, which is often just to derail progress on something they don't like.

Of course the meta-issue here is far from simple. It would be better if laws were enacted at the right level of abstraction, using some semblance of reasonableness. I often groan at the patchwork of laws that we see here in the US. But don't forget that in a democracy, the will of the people is far from rational, and the political will is even more mercurial. Very often one is better off taking what you can get rather than waiting for something better that may never materialize.

P.S. I find these sorts of discussions are interesting (in a sense), because it is hard to say to what degree someone is trotting out whatever logic simply suits their purpose. I've found this applies both to established interesting making "arguments" in public as well as individuals of all ages trying to defend what they have already decided is the best course of action. (Both are tiresome, frankly -- a part of human nature that I find rather counterproductive -- a suboptimal strategy that we've landed on.)
Ya don't say.
It's a good description of one application of monads, which is often helpful to beginners if they have been thrown into real code without yet understanding the "why" of monads. If you look up "railway-oriented programming," you'll find more presentations of it.

I think it is a very practical place to start, especially for programmers who have been thrown into a codebase while still new with monads, because it helps them avoid a common mistake that plagues beginners: accidentally dropping error values on the non-success track. Often you simply want to drop values on the non-success track, and there are convenient idioms for doing so, but just as often, you need to examine those values so you can report failures, by returning metrics on validation failures, by providing the right status code in an HTTP response, etc. Railway-oriented programming is a vivid metaphor that reminds programmers that they need to make a decision about how to handle values on the other track.

I'm in a startup using .NET. We deploy to a variety of targets including AWS t4g (Arm64) instances in AWS as well as x86/64 targets in GCP. All devs are on M1 Macs. Our build pipeline is GitHub Actions Linux runners. Our DB is either AWS RDS Postgres or GCP Cloud SQL Postgres with a mix of EF Core as ORM and Dapper (for more complex read queries).

C# has, over the years, converged with TypeScript so they are very similar[0] (though no Duck typing in C#). Good mix of OOP and FP paradigms borrowed from F#. F# interoperates with C# so it can tap into the larger C# ecosystem.

It's a good platform; very productive. CLI has a functional hot reload (much more limited than Node on JS as the granularity of module replacement isn't quite as good).

There is only a finite number of areas like that and most are already built on. Even if one person collects insurance ever year it would not be an issues as the insurance is for the property and it would have been destroyed anyway the actual recipient doesn’t affect the total payout.
We have billions of people, we can accomplish two maybe three things at a time. This is a valid use as any of that archived data. The part that sucks isn't that people are doing unusual things with it like training AI, but that copyright & capitalism make it so that everyone has to go get their own data themselves to the annoyance of web admins.

The biggest technical hurdle to sharing the work among interested parties is the web only authenticates the pipe, not the content.
What makes you assume planned obsolescence is at play here, and not just regular old obsolescence? I suspect the two-decade-old large-format CRTs on display in that shop aren't there due to a lack of replacement parts.
I expect this experiment provides a small perf win for very small N, but that's swamped by the price of deciding whether to try this and in many applications it's also noise compared to the perf win from using hash tables for larger N.

A hash table with a very cheap hash (remember in C++ out of the box their hash for integers is usually the identity function) well be cheaper for quite modest N because it's mostly just doing less work. I could believe N>=4 for example
That is true, but a gas or diesel vehicle can get refilled in 10 minutes, without consuming much power (a small generator is enough to run pumps at a gas station).

And there are 4x4 diesel trucks like Excursions and Suburbans that can carry 8 to 12 people in leather comfort for 700 miles, even over rough terrain (rough terrain shortens your range, just like anything.)

Morally, caring is the only option.

To many people don't value values or morals, and only prioritize their own experiences. I find it hard to maintain relationships with people who only talk about their career, business and consumption, as it is hard to have any kind of discussion about "we COULD, but SHOULD we" in regards to purchasing the latest car, iphone, a new house etc.
From a health and harm reduction perspective they are probably saving lives by replacing cigarette smoke which is much more harmful. But I agree that from an environmental perspective they are much worse. Perfectly good Li-ion are thrown in the trash which is insane.

I don't understand why people buy these. I don't vape, but it is my understanding that you can get reusable vapes with cartridges that are very easy to replace, and which are probably more enjoyable to use.
