Correct. They’re building everything, clean or dirty, at a rapid pace. I wonder if they just skip over environmental concerns. In the US these would require a wildlife or wetlands study which take a long time
Would be interesting if you can also factor in a school schedule or Jewish holidays as well. There are probably other layers you could add because school schedules in the US and England are very different. After having kids and observing the challenges with another family through a nanny share in the pandemic, I need to apply these constraints, and it takes a few go arounds to get right.
Is there any modern equivalent? If you could control a child's computer access and didn't care about them missing out on tiktok etc what would you do? Of course a refurbed ZX Spectrum is an option, as is Scratch or some other hand-holding environment. I'd be interested to know if anyone is raising tough, rugged, Mel-type hackers[0] these days, and how they're going about it.

It's really absurd to get punished for paying for a flight and then not taking it. Sorry I either allowed you to double sell a seat or fly slightly more economically without my added mass. You could fix this by not charging me more for buying fewer seats.
> if you could plug it in all the time most would, which defeats the point

The point of a mouse is to be a usable mouse. If folks care enough for it to be wireless then they can use it that way, but if they don't what's actually wrong with using it plugged in? Screams iPhone 4 era "holding it the wrong way". Baffles me why you'd want to provide fewer options for your customer to charge their wireless mouse in order to make them do it the "right way".
Hmm, I wonder if opt-out is GDPR compliant.

I wasn't dealing with Bluetooth devices 80 years ago.

For a ton of people the demands of what they're expecting from their software change pretty radically in 15 years.

These days I'm needing more modern hardware support than what Windows 7 offers. I'm managing Bluetooth devices and swapping audio devices much more often. I'm far more connected than 15 years ago. The security threat landscape is pretty different today than 15 years ago. I'm using much larger screens (and vastly different aspect ratios) than 15 years ago and prefer to use the built-in snap layouts rather than just the basic left/right/center in 7. Dozens of more things that just end up making the experience of going back to 7 pretty painful in the end.
This is actually a problem for my Volkswagen Tiguan, the car GPS data is wildly inaccurate probably ~30% of the time. The only fix is force it to use wired CarPlay or turn of CarPlay and let my map grab my phone's data before reconnecting.
The war evolves every day... Russia has upgraded those Iranian drones themselves many times, including just this week introducing a variant with a thermobaric warhead. There is a constant tit-for-tat with electronic warfare devices and drones, with armaments, with how radar stations positions are identified, the routes the drones take to uncover additional targets etc. The tactical play is pretty endless. I'm not sure how you would reduce it to "they bought some drones from Iran."
I assumed people did not need to be explicitly reminded that you had to provision additional capacity for redundancy, and that you can use different layers of caching (ssd caches, ram caches etc).

And by the way, it was just posted today that you can get 60TB pci gen5 SSDs from Micron: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42122434 : you can still fit all that dataset in a single machine and provide all the iops you need. You'd need just 7 of those.

So yeah, 400TB of data is not much data nowadays.

I've been using Jimmer in my projects for a while now, and it's truly been a game-changer for my data management workflow. No more manually writing countless VO/DTO/DOs—Jimmer's input/output DTOs make this process incredibly straightforward. It handles complex queries and saves effortlessly, solving the "N + 1" problem for good. Plus, even Sber, one of Russia's leading companies, has adopted Jimmer. Check out what Sber's Chief Technical Expert has to say about it: https://jokerconf.com/en/talks/3f29bdad0db24dfa8c6f2fa4a0c2f... If you're still relying on traditional ORM, it's time to give Jimmer a try.

Transit in the US seems to be constantly on a starvation diet budgetarily speaking so I'm not shocked small sums of money get chosen over options that would be better for their users.
This particular form of citation farming by asking for citations in peer review (in exchange for a favorable review of the paper) is considered "acceptable" despite being scummy. Citation selling, which seems to be broadly equivalent, is very much not. This method is also a lot older and more widespread.
I think you mean disclosure.

Why would you disclaim something cool?
You could make it mandatory to choose opt-in or opt-out, and make it transparent what data will be sent and what you will use it for and the retention period. Then more people might opt-in.
If you believe in a company you do actually have problems IMO. The corporation exists to exploit you and tries to make that okay by giving you money. You do not owe it anything, certainly not faith.

Self-respect has to do with doing the work you're asked to do well, not making sure the corporation runs better than it's leadership facilitates.

I never had interest in history when I was young, but developed an appetite for it lately.

Learning how and why people reacted the way they did during times of growing political instability has helped me reconcile some of the trends I see in the world today (even if I don't like them), and lent insight toward forecasting how far the events of tomorrow might stray from my expected norms.

To that end I found the series Turning Point: The Bomb And The Cold War a pretty riveting documentary exploring the journey from WWII to the present (especially the last few episodes).
From a slightly pedantic point of view that misses the point of cooking or baking, I disagree about the ability to re-use nodes.

If you have a recipe that uses 150g flour in step 1, then later uses 350g flour in step 4, then you actually have two separate ingredients:

1. 150g plain flour

2. 350g plain flour

It may useful to present an ingredient summary for the purposes of shopping which collects that to 500g flour, but from when trying to represent the recipe, it's actually two different ingredients, and it'd be a false re-use to try to re-use the node or try to treat those ingredients as a single ingredient of greater quantity.

Just because two things appear otherwise identical, doesn't mean they are.

I sometimes see a similar issue in software development and re-use of classes or functions. Two different cases happen to need identical handling, so get put through the same code paths. Then later it turns out one case needs to be treated slightly differently, so that path ends up with special casing, and you get a mess of special handling with case statements or "bool treatDifferently" parameters.

If things are conceptually different, then treat them differently, don't assume false commonality.
I like how 0ad (open source strategy game) does it, maybe check that out.
What do you expect when you murder civilians and level cities with artillery? More genius rhetoric. Keep it up!

edit for above edit: A mutual defense alliance is neutral. Don't attack and you won't have to deal with it.

Edit for below edit: Well we're far past that. Ukraine will be joining NATO and there's nothing you can do about it.

Another edit for below: This is what you don't get for your last edit. It simply doesn't matter. The world where Russia can act with impunity with nuclear sabre rattling isn't a world worth living in. I know that makes you so very upset, but you're just going to have to accept it.

And yet again edit: Correct, the state reserves the right to violence.
Tune the screeches so they make a different chord for each stop.
Out of order:

> The minister proposed prohibiting women from getting married after the age of 25 and having forced hysterectomies ( uterus removal procedures) at the age of 30.

> The politician also suggested barring women from attending college after the age of 18, allegedly in order to concentrate on having more children.

Even worse than the headline lead me to believe.

> Hyakuta became recognised on the far right of Japanese politics in part because of his best-selling book The Eternal Zero, which was adapted into a movie that glorified kamikaze pilots in the closing days of World War II.

Just who we should listen to about ideas.

> Sumie Kawakami, a lecturer at Yamanashi Gakuin University and author of a book on gender issues, told This Week in Asia, “I cannot believe that a Japanese politician has said such a thing. I can only see these comments as a call to violence against women.”

Yep.

> He explained that these concepts were not intended to be taken literally, but rather were presented as a “science-fiction storyline” to start conversation. He added on X that he does not support such extreme actions against women and that his remarks were “extremely harsh.”

Sounds like he’s an L, Ton Hubbard type. Time to start a grifting, litigious religion.

My friend, who is going through IVF to have a child in her 40s, would love this.

Because then you need three times the rack space. What you don't spend one-time for the hardware you'll spend extra every month for rack space, connectivity, cooling, power etc.

You might use that budget for redundancy, for example.
If only you could figure that out ahead of time. I've been on projects that were killed with no notice anyone could see even in hindsight. I've been on important projects that senior leaders decided to out source my job to China and my boss was forced to let me go. I've seen budgets run dry many times and important projects got killed/cut with no notice (sometimes there are signs that but you think your project is important enough to escape the cuts until it isn't). Sometimes you are doing working everyone tells you is critical the day before they show you out the door.

I've also seen people make careers out of taking over projects cut for the above reasons as customers still demand support. I've seen many downturns where my project was important enough to not be cut.

I've seen many downturns where my project had massive cuts, but I personally was not the person cut. Most often projects are not killed outright, instead they go through a long down spiral (not always, but typically) and you can make a lot of money being the expert on a product that is making money if you are able to hang on. Someone needs to leave as there isn't the budget to pay everyone, but that someone need not be you. Often these projects pay very nicely for working 9-5 with no pressure to do overtime.
Why would you like to see these things? It seems undesirable to return results in a language the querier does not understand.

I am outside of North America and have been for about 3/4 of my adult life.

The issue with adding VAT to prices on a forum with people living in a lot of different places is that VAT rates vary greatly from place to place.

To get an idea what an Apple product costs, it's more helpful to look at the price charged prior to taxes, tax deductions, educational discounts and other factors that will depend entirely on the specific cases of each reader.
> Absolutely nobody is happy about the war in russia

I don't really go on Reddit much anymore these days, but the last time I was on there there were several subreddits where you could find people who were rather gleeful about the affair, trading anecdotes about Russian losses/deaths.
> It surprises me that people are concerned about Putin pushing the button, but don't consider Trump pushing the button

Great many people are concerned about that.

There are similar concerns that some boastful and bellicose messaging from him might be misinterpreted by adversaries and that triggers a nuclear exchange. This is the plot of the speculative fiction novel titled "The 2020 Commission Report on the North Korean Nuclear Attacks Against The United States" by Dr Jeffrey Lewis for example.

> I don't think that U.S. corruption is something to be ignored either.

Thorrez's comment is correct. It appears that you mean "corruption" in a different sense than the one discussed.

Corruption here is not about the politicians being up to no good, but in a more specific sense. For example if a significant percentage of the missiles don't launch because the grease which should have been used to lubricate the turbopumps have been sold on the black market. Or the metal body of valves was replaced with cheaper inferior kind which causes those valves to seize up.

And of course the answer here is not binary. It is not that every missile will fail, or every missile will succeed. It is about the probabilities. Will 5%, 10% 45%, or 95% be a dud? Obviously the Russian state is trying to work hard to push that percentage down, while entropy and corruption is "working" to push it up.
I would say that the most verbally gifted people in the world can't explain it, but what do I know?

Show HN: Kurt Vonnegut's lost board game online
Three weeks ago GHQ, a strategy board created by Kurt Vonnegut appeared on the front of HN[0].

A friend and I got hooked and spent the last week and half building out a playable online version of the game. It supports pass n'play, multiplayer, and a primitive bot (named kurt) that you can play against. We're also chess nerds so had to ship with an Elo system.

Huge kudos to nicolodavis[1] and the maintainers of Boardgame.io [2] - it's the only reason we could build something this good, this fast. The library separates concerns and authority across the server / client seamlessly without requiring you to rewrite the logic in multiple places. The abstractions felt right immediately. If you want to build a browser based board game, start here.

Hope this is fun and brings GHQ to more people. We opened source the code if you want to contribute or remix it :)

In the area I stayed in Tokyo, there was a konbini and supermarket across the street from my nearest subway. Food is definitely cheaper, more selection and better quality at the supermarket. I started making notes on Google Maps for any supermarket that I can find along my routes.

Yes, I traveled recently and flights were about 20% cheaper if it was Thursday-Monday than if any Friday, Saturday, or Sunday was included. Even given the extra nights of hotel I overall saved money on the trip because I extended it.
IANAL but I doubt it. There are school districts in GA that require kids to walk up to a mile and a half each way before bussing in mandated. Additionally, no jury of your rural peers would ever agree with those charges. I am stunned myself at the lunacy. I live in a rural area and given the size of their property I assume they do as well. My next door neighbor lives almost a mile from us. Granted I don't live in GA but I can't imagine any rural sheriff being re-elected on a platform that kids can't be trusted to walk to their neighbors house or to their little town.
In 2009, people thought it was cool that I worked in this industry and I was proud of it. Soon, we’ll have the same amount of respect and clout as ambulance chasers, bankers, and insurance companies. What a disappointment.

Why the AI Hype Is Another Tech Bubble
You should listen to interviews with special operations folks. Navy Seals, Green Berets, Delta Force, etc.

There is a strong culture of do what's needed to accomplish the mission. Even a "if you're not cheating, you're not trying" to many challenges.

HN has a curiously strong hatred of libertarians (although also professing to dislike authoritarians?) so it's not surprising the comment got downvoted though.
What I like about the uk mini stores is that you have healthy options and I mean balanced foods with veg and clear color coded signage of it's nutrition like salt, saturated fat, calories, 5 a day etc. In Japan kombinis have no fresh veg, any pre made food has nothing fresh or green in it (or very very little) and it's generally more difficult to find fresh things in the big cities that I've been in Japan. Fruit? Same story but a lot more expensive although much tastier but sometimes having an option is better even if it's underpar.
>So let me make sure I understand your story perfectly. Russia was so concerned about Ukrainian sovereignty that they sent their military into Crimea.

Not really. Russian military was already in Crimea. If you're unaware, Sevastopol is a major Russian fleet base since 18th century, and both marines and regular soldiers were stationed there based on signed agreement with Ukraine government.

>And instead of allowing Crimea to exist as a sovereign state with what Russia viewed as the rightful president/government of Ukraine... it instead annexed it and said this is Russia now?

Those people, who Nuland and K installed as government of Ukraine after the coup were declaring as their political goal to kick Russia out of Crimea, broke the 50 years long deal and turn Sevastopol to a NATO fleet base. So yes, as soon as they were installed and declared by the West as the legitimate government of Ukraine, Putin annexed Crimea, to create a territorial dispute, that will not allow NATO to legally accept Ukraine.

>Quite interesting. It's almost as if Russia didn't care about the "integrity" of the elections and just wanted more land for itself.

Another interesting fact to you: Crimea was an Autonomous Republic, and it actually tried to separate from Ukraine in the 90's to rejoin Russia by referendum, but Kiev government sent troops there and rewrote Crimean constitution to prevent any separation.
Once enough people have the app, there will be a whole time varying point cloud of data both on and off the train.
> Should be interesting when they find out the reality of abortion laws in much of Europe.

Indeed. Let's take Germany as example:

* Abortion is always illegal in Germany, because courts have repeatedly found that the fetus has a right to life. (This occurred at almost the same moment as Roe v. Wade.)

* However, Section 218 of the criminal code has decriminalized abortion in some circumstances:

* Before 12 weeks, with counseling and waiting period.

* After 12 weeks, when rape or medical necessity is involved, with approval by two doctors, and possibly counseling and waiting period.

From my European perspective, VC capital increases social mobility for the "engineering class" and the builders of society. Those who have talent but no access to capital.
The alternative is, that there is no VC capital and only people who are already wealthy are allowed to undertake entrepreneurial ventures. Is that somehow better?

So I think VC firms reduce wealth inequality over all.
Is the german government collapse due to polarization? Was the UK government election of labour due to polarization?

Polarization is a centrist cope that has no actual content. Some people actually have values and there is a sincere disagreement about values for some people. Only centrists who have no values and love the status quo think people having values is a problem.
