It was such a staggering leap! In my memory this was a bit different though, or more nuanced at least. There was progress towards smartphones starting halfway the 90s, then somewhere around 2000 there was internet access and the first dev

saying, never mind! Can always try to look for ways around first. Invidition (Firefox plugin to make use of Invidious automatically when seeing Youtube links) worked ok-ish for a while for me, lately less so.

Almost definitely so. Like Youtube telling my epxerience will be 'better' if I login, each time again. But it won't (well, apart from me not to having to click the button each time). How low can you go as a company?

>Never stash Er, no. Right tool for the right job. Yup. pull --rebase --autostash for example. Technically also stashing, and would be insane not to use it :) More serious note: agreed. I use stashing multiple times a day and never hav

True, but that's orthogonal. You could still set up double-blind studies comparing taste, I think.

Companies optimize for what customers will pay for Could be, but arent't there other mechanisms? Like companies optimizing for profit, then using advertisement to lure customers in paying for it?

Wouldn't be surprised if there's a relation between taste and nutritional value though.

You'd already need to know this is about trackers. Ok this is HN but that doesn't translate to 'people who know their way around in downloading anything they want' or so.

Use "-e" to set ssh options, just like with scp On my rsync -e sets the executable, and my scp doesn't have -e but -o. Even then it's a bit of a stretch (or I'm missing something); e.g. for the ssh option I use ms

Certain ant species can eat ticks, but as far as I'm aware there's no species feeding only off ticks, and Lyme and Encephalitis are really nasty. But it's an interesting question: suppose we can somehow erradicate all ticks,

Doesn't hurt explicitly mentioning the biodiversity crisis is, just like the climate one, also a pressing issue. And when it comes to solutions revolving around forests (or a collection of trees if you wish), it's the area where b

It's a fair point, certainly interesting, however most or all of it is an assumption (you didn't try the other thing in an elaborate way, let alone double-blind-tested it), plus it might not work like that for everyone. In the pas

Just to double check; what is this thing? (site itself doesn't explicitly mention it, or I couldn't find it). It's like the last 'official' Windamp release, binary patched with improvements (by the author?), and the

https://chocolatey.org/packages mentions download numbers for each package, which seem to indicate people do use it. We use it via the ChocolateyGet PS provider. I.e. installing most software (but not all) is now just &#x27

Because it's really hard to automate that, just to give one example?

Sounds vaguely familiar, and indeed I had bokmarked a site which did this exactly (just more elaborate, IIRC was built as a complete tutorial). Site ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7450528 ) is dead now unfortunately,

Wrt insulation I really meant law, not standard. I hope there are no laws limiting the size of radiators? That would not make a lot of sense i.e. story sounds more like whoever was in charge of calculating the size completely messed up.

Yes unfortunately it's not uncommon at all that certain industries effectively get subsidized for their energy use and/or pay less taxes on it. In an ideal world that could be adjusted as well though but realistically that's

for new housing heating costs will be absolutely huge compared to gas Isn't it more nuanced than that? Don't know UK rules, but since you mention new housing: aren't these required to adhere to some minimum of insulation, l

Nuclear is orders of magnitude better than other low-co2 options The sibling post seems to indicate otherwise though and mentions they're about the same? Any idea where that difference in numbers come from?

doubling the price of energy would push a lot of elderly, infirm, and poor people to stop heating their homes 2x increase in cost doens't necessarily directly translate to doubling the price for everyone. For example it could be coup

This is the feeling I get most of the time in these 'let me explain software architecture in 1 post' articles. You see, I agree with pretty much everything in the article and write code like that all the time. Because yes, it does

Interestng read, didn't know most of this. Not that it matters in the end: at one point we just needed something simple which would just work and MessagePack does just that :) Btw JSON is often a popular choice, but although this is no

Ikea said that anything that cannot be resold will be recycled. Is that even technically possible? 'Most of it', perhaps, though for some of the materials they use I'd really like to see the technical side of how they o it,

by stinos 6y ago
The 'small %' and amount of times something can be recycled does depend on the material involved though. So while typical plastics are hard to recycle and a lot of it doen't even get sorted and hence goes straight to landfill

Depends, sort of. The code shows some creativity and shows you know how to work with templates. Sure, it's 2020, but I'm pretty sure there's quite a lot of people who have used C++ but cannot come up with the code you see in
