Where’s the crazy part? Lots of people are vegan or vegetarian. Many cultures the world over don’t consume meat. Is it because she chose to change her diet? Because she chose it for ethical and environmental reasons? Or because you don’t agree?

I for one think turkey tastes like crap. Never understood gluttony as a holiday. On the other hand, I think turkeys are funny as hell and love having them on my farm.

The number of animals we toss in a bin is pretty crazy. You wouldn’t put that many dogs in the trash and think it was okay, would you? Is it just because you assume they don’t taste as good?

Yeah that or wasting their time working on open-source or side projects, which typically has a poor return on investment. One of the biggest things I learned after years of trying to work in open-source is that it is not worth it (financially). The employers who pay the best salaries do not care unless the project you work on is very closely related. Even then, you are way, way better off grinding Leetcode instead.

One of the reason I use typing is IDE completion and error highlighting. For that purpose - I make sure to annotate even the obvious primitive types and for API responses, I find that defining a Pydantic model works very well.

> voters are genuinely concerned about the effect social media is having on kids.

But where are they hearing about these effects that get them so concerned? Is it the Australian news?

Australian news is fairly concentrated and is mostly owned by one family. A family that got a law passed forcing only Google and Facebook to pay pretty much only them.

The conspiracy isn't that far fetched.
This seems to conflate short-form media as "digital" and long-form media (books) as paper. This is patently untrue.

I can experience the disconnection same while 'digital' reading on my e-reader in a cozy chair in the middle of nowhere, with much less RSI and eye strain.

Magazines, newspapers, short stories and other short-form written paper works pre-digital age are as guilty (or not guilty) of changing the consumption experience the author attempts to pin on 'digital'.

When it comes to the cultural impact of what we consume, there is I think a quantity vs quality argument that can be made with the introduction of digital and the lowering of barriers. There is also a counter argument that 'quality' was subjectively gate-kept by small groups that colour and bias the narrative intentionally and unintentionally. The weighing of these two arguments seems to come down to personal views on culture and media and I find its often a grey area for many.

I've seen them when shopping for certain CAD-certified laptops.

There are some of these out there, from major brands (HP?). Asus seems to have more. ( https://rehack.com/reviews/best-laptops-without-webcams/ ) They tend to be workstation grade, sometimes gaming, machines at higher price points. For new laptops, see if you can customize it out on their site.

While searching for one on amazon/ebay stinks, you can find ones without webcam (doublecheck for integrated microphone status in product details too though) by looking manually for terms like "no webcam"... vendors usually don't want returns due to surprises so it will be mentioned in the product title.

True, but I think any form of supervised ML can and often does suffer the same fate. Once you define any loss function, you narrow the signal to a subset that presumes the signal and its distribution are understood and reliable.

That's why I'm thinking the long view of ML will ultimately evolve away from supervised (short term) methods, like GOFAI's focus on curated narrow problem solvers, and toward broader more unsupervised methods in which the objective is less precisely specified and more experimentally refined, over a longer time frame (and a larger amount of data and sources).

Exactly. It’s not a big deal.

There’s a ton of potential traffic. Even now, there’s a ton of barge traffic between NYC and Albany and points between on the Hudson River. I could easily see cost effective routes between Baltimore and Boston that would bypass congested highway and road corridors.
This feels equivalent to “if you don’t like smoking, just don’t smoke”.

Like I said in my original post I don’t think this stuff is specific to kids. I think social media has an equivalent to “second hand smoke” that poisons society whether or not we individually engage with it. And yes, classrooms are full of it.
Sneering is one of the things posters are specifically requested not to do: "Please don't sneer".

Bad for business, and arguably, the world.
Many companies, for example, Amazon during its rise to power, will choose to not profit and instead reinvest in business growth and avoid tax. When there is profit, there is more tax; As i understand it, if all the revenue is allocated to expenses, it will benefit from large tax exemptions. It's sort of like running a for-profit entity as if it were a non-profit entity, though by choice and not mandate.
It's very hard, maybe impossible, to answer the question of whether social media harms people. It's like asking if TV, video games, etc harm people. Maybe -- but I don't trust the studies and at any rate, these are things people should decide for themselves and their families.

If you want something a bit more out of the box than simply playing a game, give animating a spin! Just a simple flipbook-style animation app, there should be plenty out there. No need for pose-to-pose or anything at first, just try abstract, straight-ahead animation. If you find yourself gaining an interest, it's easy enough to pick up knowledge as you need it (if you do want a jumping-off point, I'd recommend Alan Becker's series[1] on the 12 principles of animation).

It's incredibly fun bringing even the simplest of things to life, and really rewarding getting to look back and see how your understanding of motion and weight grow over time.

Big swings in electricity pricing though since it's so heavily tied to the wind. Today it's 15.2 c/kWh on average and tomorrow it's going to be 4.5 c/kWh. Wind also seems to be dying down for the weekend, so we might see higher prices then.

https://www.fingrid.fi/en/electricity-market-information/win...

Although I imagine that data centers get their electricity through the futures market instead to secure a fixed price. Both of the cities have district heating systems, so maybe they can join those to offset costs too. I know that the Microsoft datacenter in Espoo is going to be supplying heat to the Espoo district heating network.

The poster sees it like Hans Zimmer (https://www.imdb.com/list/ls066405124/) being asked to play scales on a piano as an audition for writing a movie score, and then being rejected for some mistake. Indeed, that would be humiliating.

Nit/general rant about finance management products: awesome idea but I do my finances on a computer with a keyboard, mouse, large screen and copy/paste capabilities that don't require a microscope.

I could be wrong but it does not appear that this offers a desktop/web client which makes it DOA for me.

It seems like so many finance applications target mobile devices which is a great place for reviewing data and making small modifications but the worst place for the substantial data entry required for managing personal finances.

I use parsers to normalize statements into CSV format, pipe that into a SQL database then query/represent it in Google sheets - I still haven't found a better way to do it. I don't think that would work on this app given I don't have access to any tools on a mobile device.
The approach I have found to work is isolate the logic which deals with ORM models, and convert them to/from typed models (eg pydantic) at the function boundary.

with sqlalchemy mapped_column, its less of an issue. django, otoh, seems too much magic for static type. (happy to be proven wrong).

The assumption is that maintainers at Homebrew are reviewing each pull request before being merged, though it's obviously not a full security audit. Homebrew will also use macOS's sandboxing if a formula needs to be built during installation, which will limit file access to specific Homebrew directories and restrict network access.

But I agree that everyone should review the Homebrew install script for any package they're installing if they're concerned about security.

Show HN: Free offline content calendar for creators – local
Hey everyone. I'm Zalmay from @zalmaytech on TikTok and Instagram.

I've started making tech related content and realize having a content calendar is critical to stay sane.

Any of them I've found online are either pricey subscriptions or hidden behind newsletter-type paywalls.

I've created this free, offline content calendar. It keeps all your files local to your device, lets you export anytime and drag and drop across dates.

Hope this helps someone!

That's fair. Someone commented in a different fork that videos are good for DIY jobs, and I totally agree. You want to see a person doing it live, so you can imitate their motions. I was thinking about learning something theoretical, like mathematics or history.
I'm not sure if the average person has the patience to sit through an entire movie anymore either, and not just in the US. Smartphones and social media have shortened our attention spans by making us crave for quick dopamine hits. I used to be able to watch an entire movie uninterrupted, whereas now if the movie is not engaging, I tend to reach for my phone.

Music enjoyment has also taken a back seat, and I usually put it on in the background while I'm focusing on something else, instead of actively listening to it. I think the shift from music being released as part of thematic albums on physical media to individual tracks on online services is part of the reason for this. The average music listener just hits shuffle on a random playlist rather than focusing on a specific band, album or even genre.

> TL;DR: we can delete most of the emissions of the developed world today by switching heating & car and truck transport to electrical - if we make sure we generate all electricity with near-zero emissions. Just building more renewable generation won't solve it though, as you still need to make sure it covers all consumption everywhere. This map intends to show why that's a complicated problem, and why we should also be smart about where we build renewable generation so that most of the generated energy can also be used and not thrown away because the grid can't handle it.

How many under 16s read newspapers or watch news anyway?

All you need to do is look up the mental health stats since the iPhone release to see why parents are massively concerned. There has never been a time when an alert parent didn’t have a fair idea of what info a kid was exposed to. This is why going to university is such an awakening.

Now the parents basically need a background in infosec to stop their kids accessing hardcore porn, violence and other mind bending content. That only works in your household. Do you stop play dates? Single your kids out as weird by banning all device use?

Societal norms do not move at the speed of technology, so regulation needs to be applied unless there’s another alternative.
I'm finding all these SQL builders so painful to use. They closely match the syntax of SQL so you do need to know SQL, but now you also need to know the SQL builder's syntax. It's friction for juniorer devs to learn SQL. It's also now much more difficult to trace a SQL query back to the originating code.

They have two advantages: building SQL statements programmatically is cleaner than string concatenation, and they allow typing inference. The former is not so often necessary (and even when it is, it's often simple enough that string concatenation is _alright_). The latter is what makes me hesitate as a typing ayatollah, but even then I don't think it's worth it (I'll take the explicit typing, with the risk that we get it wrong, which would likely-although-not-surely be caught in tests).

I still need something for migrations and query execution, but I would only reach for query building in like 1% of cases.

I'm not sure that much is down to the old City of London as opposed to London as a whole. Most of the property buying mentioned in those articles is in Kensington and Chelsea. Even the Guardian says City of London but when they quote the guy with quotation marks it's "40% of that money comes through London and overseas territories and crown dependencies".

British papers tend to mix up City of London as in the old city and city of London as in the general financial services including Canary Wharf etc. Bit like how 'Wall Street' doesn't always mean that exact street.
>foreign born

Its probably more useful to distinguish between foreign educated vs born here.

Interestingly the last stats I remember seeing about ESL students is they tend to out-perform english students in a number of subjects depending on the age group, so factoring them out might lower the overall stats and show an even worse trend among native born english speaking American students.
It's completely normal usage in Britain.

> Ctrl-F “sneering”, no results

Ctrl-F for "sneer" - or just read the guidelines, as you should have before posting, and clearly did not:

> Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community.

> I for one find dismissing a thought by pointing to the big board of rules to be boring, unenlightening and not intellectually gratifying. But that’s just me.

You did not read the rest of my comment, then, which pointed out why sneering is bad. Or maybe you did, because you quoted it, but then chose to forget what you quoted?

Separate from the enumerated rules, it's pretty obvious why this kind of behavior - both in your original comment, and your reply - is generally anti-intellectual, and better suited for Reddit than HN.

If you're not going to follow the guidelines, and going to act in such a hostile and shallow manner, then perhaps you should go somewhere else.

Reminding you of the HN guidelines that you repeatedly and blatantly violate, and calling out your hostile, dishonest, emotionally manipulative, and anti-intellectual behavior, is not trolling.

A utility-maximizing drug discovery system would, I think, devote some effort to biological experimentation on healthy humans, giving them chemical probes to see how that affected their biology. As is, ethics requires we get this information accidentally, for example from that famous recreational drug chemist who gave himself Parkinson's Disease with a botched synthesis that made a highly neurotoxic chemical. And some of the information comes from drug trials. A useful drug is not the only value obtained from a drug trial -- each trial is also a test of a hypothesis about the mechanisms of a disease.

One of the books of the "Colossus" trilogy (about a computer that takes over the world) had the computer doing this sort of medical experimentation on randomly selected drafted subjects, with the idea of maximizing overall utility. It shows the problem with utility maximization as a goal, similar to the requirement that people give up a healthy kidney if someone else needs a transplant.

The point is not that microsoft is displaying it, it is that they are displaying to a person I have given explicit permision to.

The fact that they dont shows they want to display it to other people/machines than the ones I give them permission to.
Even the 75K is super optimistic. If you are touring you want to bring your own equipment, much easier to run a show that is roughly the same in multiple places then relying on the house rig in multiple venues. Once you factor in bringing your own gear (Almost definitely rented, sound is expensive, lighting even more so), you now need to factor in maintenance of the equipment and rigging.

Also the assumption you can get one guy to do lighting and sound is pretty unrealistic unless your show consists of a static wash throughout the entire show. Theatrical shows you can get away with it, but that's usually because the man hours are heavily front loaded into pre-production, but with live music you will need a dedicated LX Tech and a dedicated Sound Engineer.

I moonlight as a lighting technician during the evenings and weekends, mainly working in handful small local venues, there's me running lighting and the sound engineer doing his thing. The bands playing are easily spending £300 a night just on 2 people (And this is a small venue probably about 200 cap in the main hall), youd be spending much more for a touring crew
