I'll have to read payback, I was unfamiliar with it, thanks for bringing it to my attention.

I have to say, though, this comment seems an odd mix of praising Atwood and seriously underestimating the scale and longevity of her fame and international regard. Like yes, her standard fiction novels are written by a woman and have female main characters, but nearly all of them were nominated for major international literary awards and many of them won - I don’t think any would qualify as “chick lit”, unless you’re taking the extremely broad stance of putting any novel written from a female perspective under that umbrella.

And assuming that your poet friend was unfamiliar with Atwood seems bizarre to me - I’m not a poet or in a literary field at all, but I was under the impression that she is one of the most well-known living poets (as a poet, not only a novelist), it’s just that poets/poetry don’t tend to be that well known in general.

I agree, in the long term countries will have to learn how to deal with low fertility rates.
From the blog post: "Primer isn’t another large front-end framework, though. It’s rather limited in functionality and isn’t intended to replace something like Bootstrap. It will always be GitHub’s internal toolkit first, designed to help build GitHubby things. That said, we love to share."

That was kinda my take away, too. It's pretty minimalist overall.
Eshell is just awkward to use. And I'm a bit of a freak, I still need tektronix emulation sometimes.
Sorry, but you seem unable to see why people like Python (or a different language X). Until you see that, you won't understand why job postings are written like that.

This is not to say Python (or X) is a perfect language or that you have to agree with those that like it - it's just not your language.

That's not a problem with fixed price contracts so much as selecting the lowest bidder. An agency which is allowed to pick the more expensive contract that is justifiably better usually won't succumb to these problems.
Thanks for answer the question I asked elsewhere on the thread [1]. I think people misunderstood what you were saying.

I appreciate your perspective that the Jewish people who were born and live in Palestine now have a right to be there, but I am not sure that this is a commonly held perspective among Palestinians. To be honest, as much as I want there to be peace, I don't expect Palestinian Arabs to give up on Palestine, because why would they? In their perspective, it's their land, and 5-6 million foreign Jews are living on it. They've had several solid opportunities to accept this as reality and establish a state, but they did not. Had they done this, the military occupation of the West Bank would have ended 10-20 years ago. The military occupation of Gaza ended in 2006, and the territory is now under blockade by Egypt, The Palestinian Authority and Israel, due to the ruling party's perspective that with enough time and dedication they can liberate the rest of Palestine. Perhaps they will! I sincerely wish them the best in this endeavor, because you must admire tenacity, however self-destructive it may seem today.

> outside its legally recognized borders

It is also valuable to recognize that beyond its borders with Egypt and Jordan, Israel does not actually have legally recognized borders. Many entities (countries, international courts) have proclaimed Israel's borders to be this or that, but aside from settlements resulting from their formal peace treaties, Israel's "borders" today are actually war zones buffers established and governed by ceasefire agreements.

I hate headlines like that. It is obvious. Almost everything is bigger than I know. If I know that 40% of everything I buy comes from China, it is not surprising that some of the remaining 60% also come from China. That means that the amount of things that I buy that comes from China is bigger than I know.
I would say that I wouldn't use Apple hardware if it didn't have an OS that doesn't prevent developers from working properly - like Linux.

But really, the state of their support is so garbage I don't care what the performance of their systems is like. I know their warranties aren't worth anything and their disregard for consumer laws is absolute.

Never will I buy their garbage.

This version of the iPad supports MIDI. It's not really the iPad hardware, it's the software. iOS 4.2, which releases in a few days, has MIDI hardware support via WiFi MIDI or MIDI over USB, using the USB connector included in the Camera Kit ($30 for usb port and sd card reader). The 4.2 betas have already been tested with different external hardware.

Getting an unsolicited intro to a VC from a 3rd party can also be viewed similarity as the VC reaching out directly. For example, if you are introduced to a VC by a large customer or partner of yours who sees the promise of your business, there's a chance the conversations they're having are close to the ones the author is suggesting happen before a VC sends an e-mail to you to get coffee. (But not always!)

Hold on a second, only EBS-backed instances and RDS are having trouble, yes? Not EC2 in general and not other services. To say "amazon aws services" is misleading.

> For most code, you don't know how fast it "ought to" be, so you don't even know there is a problem

One way to build up intuition about this is to start predicting in advance how many clock cycles your newly written functions will take to run. It helps when you keep your functions small and focused on a single task.

Before benchmarking some code, try to estimate in advance. "How many arithmetic operations, how many memory fetches, how many cache misses, how many branches, etc." Then add those up, multiply by their respective clock cycle cost, divide by the chips frequency and voila. An estimate. Probably not that accurate, but at least you're building a mental model.

Now run the code section through Valgrind, and compare what you got right and wrong. If you keep repeating this exercise, you'll get substantially better at predicting code performance ahead of time. The major benefit of that is that you'll tend to write high performance code, even before you optimize or profile it.

Like any skill, the key to improvement is fast and accurate feedback cycles combined with repeated practice.

There’s another reason Wasm succeeded: it’s tiny.

Sure, for now. But also as noted, its current feature set means it doesn't really do a whole lot. It can't even free memory. Unlike Java and Flash, it provides no cross platform GUI, file handling, etc. When you get right down to it, all it provides is cross platform primitive instructions. All the hard work of porting a WASM application to another platform is therefore just shifted to the runtime.

I should probably clarify that it only becomes trivial to turn that FSM into a regex when you've drawn it out! I encourage HNers to do this and see what I mean. In my experience, just inspecting the transition function visually isn't much use at all.
> I think the fact the supposed best text is utterly failing a sizable number of people also suggests how worthwhile Haskell might be.

I think it says a lot more about the fact that learning (and, therefore, the best text for learning) is highly subjective than it does about the worth of Haskell.

I mean, how does the logic even work that leads from "some people think that this text is good for learning about X but I find it is 'inadequate and sometimes confusing' to me" to "X isn't generally worthwhile" even work?
It’s no secret that many people vote for candidates based on the emotional reasons or the charisma of the candidate, rather than policy positions.

You are right, my exposure to medicine is pretty cut and dry, so I was speaking from my experience. As well I did not mean it as derogatory towards medicine practitioners. My summation was more geared towards routine surgery which for the majority of us, is what medicine is, check-ups and routine surgery.

Most of us are fortunate to not have medical anomalies that require anything other than routing medical attention in which case prices are pretty cut and dry. My point was when a doctor recommends a path of treatment they usually have a comfort level with that treatment and it's effectiveness.

In your case the filling, the root canal and the serious work where three separate projects. In the development world, you would get the requirements for the filling and the root canal would feature creep in as the filling was being done. That was my point, was that doctors (for the most part) have pretty fixed problem sets like root canal where developers have different problem sets for each new project.
As a former journalist these two quotes sum things up:
1)'tell me something positive i'll write you a paragraph'

"...anyone could have done x..." is such a silly idea. The point is they didn't, this guy did. Just like Mark Zuckerberg made Facebook, or that kid who made Chat Roulette. Anyone could have but they didn't.
So you agree that business takes on the risk, but then go around to say profits should then be redistributed by law? Where is the incentive to do business then? Why is artificially supporting failing businesses bad, yet artificially punishing successful ones not?
As a rather biased (Neo)Vim user there's no alternative for me. Tried Emacs a couple times and I get why people like it, but I find it too bloated and convoluted - having builtin features ranging from web browsers up to chatbots and video games is a cool gimmick but probably not relevant for 80% of the userbase, and just makes everything more complicated (and slower) than necessary.

In the end it's a personal choice and both programs are excellent - try both extensively and see what works best for you.

I am trying to take a balanced view on this, from both sides (long/lovers and shorts/haters), based on some preliminary research.

Please correct/add if I am wrong/missing details.
So far some things to be taken into consideration:

1. Investors

To be fair, Tesla received bad press before Cathy Wood's predictions came true and decimated all short sellers, leading to a short squeeze (major bull contributor)

- Car market: Stock price makes sense based on Ark's predictions, at least for now. Taking into account total addressable market (TAM) and market cap, Tesla's seeming monopoly with its 3-4 year lead on technology compared to all other competitors.

- It makes sense how investors are valuing Tesla to include all ICE companies, betting on Elon's probability to capture this market (Market cap -> TAM bet) This is not including additional speculative TAM (insurance, energy, self-driving, etc.).

Max bull case based on ARK's 7k prediction = 7k/5 (stock split) = 1.4k price target

- Governments are going to start banning ICEs by 2035. So the EV trend is definitely happening.

2. Consumers

- Product: Customers reviews and product seem solid. Value proposition to prospective new customers also make sense in terms of saving on gas long term compared to electricity.

- Hype: Yes, there is a cult around Elon, and defects or abuses get overlooked in favor of Tesla

Biased (shorts): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25360432

- Supply: There might be a problem with cobalt supply due to its majority based on Democratic Republic of Congo. Ethical issues aside (child and forced labor)- One tesla contains ~4.5 kg of cobalt, compare this to global electronics' demand, there will be a big shortage (Glencore collaboration).

Elon is working with CATL do develop new batteries that get rid of cobalt, but this is a long shot, and even if realized, efficiency with a new tech is at stake.

- Demand: There is no doubt current market demand for EVs crossed an inflection point where consumer education is maturing due to Tesla. But most current customers are catered toward the rich (Boomers and Chinese).

- There is some research suggesting that millennials (Tesla's next biggest target) don't want to own a car (depreciating asset), let alone afford one- given current economic situation, home ownership (charging), and remote work. Tesla' promise on the $25k car might help here. But they are also the major fans and Robinhood investors in Tesla...

Not sure, overall I am glad that Tesla is forcing other companies to follow its lead, but a level headed approach is always good advice.

Note: I don't own a car or Tesla stock

Building nuclear reactors usually involves laying concrete, transportation, steel and other sources of carbon emissions.

I'm unsure of the CO2 quantities so I cant make a statement as to whether its worth the CO2 cost.

What I can say is that wind, solar and other renewable alternatives also have initial CO2 costs, possibly lower than that of nuclear reactors.
This is awesome! Thanks for sharing!

Big belly breaths (when you fill up with air, then top it off, then top it off again) stimulate the vagus nerve, which for me is crucial in combatting my anxiety.
The current implementation uses the WebExtension apis to perform an _internal_ redirect. When you navigate to a Zoom meeting, before the browser opens a connection or sends a single network packet, the extension rewrites the url to navigate to their web client.

On the other hand tampermonkey/greasemonkey are content scripts that get injected into loaded pages. An implementation here would look like: the user navigates to a Zoom meeting, they load the entire page, and then a script gets injected to perform a `window.location` redirect. This will be slower and depending on the timing of events you may even still get the Zoom file download prompt.

So I don't think tampermonkey/greasemonkey is a good fit here.
Satire is a defense to defamation, which was what Falwell sued over, and Edward Norton, playing Larry Flint's attorney, did such a swell job of depicting in the movie, People vs. Larry Flint.

I gave up writing my "JavaScript Applications" in a closure the way you see in this tutorial. The reason is, there's no good documentation tool that will parse it. I'd much rather use namespaces to keep my code from polluting the global namespace and then I can use jsDoc.

/** My Class

* @param {Object} options
*/
MyApp.MyClass = function(options) {

That is incorrect. The iPhone employs sandboxing, so most areas of the filesystem are not accessible to iOS applications, and this cache is in one of those restricted locations. An app on the phone cannot read this information.

However, it is included in the iTunes backups. Those can be read -- but only on your computer, not on the iPhone itself.

(An exception to the above would be a jailbroken phone: the packages installed via Cydia would not have the same restrictions, although the recent jailbreaks do not remove the restrictions on apps from the App Store.)
I don't think you're wrong, but it's certainly not as "natural" (oh how I hate that word) for a smart programmer to start scheming to get a higher salary. Cunning is a skill too, and while intelligence will help out a lot, it's not like things that require cunning will feel as "natural" as programming to a programmer.

Exactly. I have accidentally witnessed so many 4-digit PINs typed into phones by friends and casual acquaintances. It’s kind of unavoidable if you spend any reasonable amount of time in person with them. Very few people in my experience go the extra mile to set a long fulltext passphrase on their phone.

Disclaimer: I hold positions in both, more in Ethereum.

1. Both are very complex. How did you compare?

2. "Constantly coming up with new terms and features and "new hot thing"" - this is a fact. "to try and pump the price" - this is a speculation. Even if it is not - I don't know why is it necessarily bad. That is one of the major goals of every company applying to YC, or doing any kind of innovation in business.

3. Technically, all the use cases for Bitcoin are the same as the use cases for Ethereum, AFAIK.

4. It has the same proof of work system with miners, so in the end Buterin has the same 0 direct control over it, as Nakamoto would over Bitcoin. True, a lot of influence.

5. "97.3% of all statistics are made up."
As a "coastal techie" (I completely stole this from another thread, but so apt...), I put down 100$ to be part of the ride. Somewhat because I skipped the model S and 3 reservations but also, damn, even to be in the first 10k delivery of this truck will be a wild ride - my young kids would never forget the experience if Tesla pulls this off and Telsa manages such a brutal design but casually delivered as one of the production vehicles.
