Before that it mentioned "Human DNA is 6 GB", but a lot of that is junk and meaningless. "Dead code", so to speak. Hardly what I call efficient.

There are plenty of weird things as well. Why can't humans synthesise vitamin C? My cat can; in fact, most animals can. But not humans and most other primates: we lost this ability. This is probably because at the time we didn't really need it as we got enough from dietary sources, but dropping it just because you don't need it right now is of course a bit silly and short-sighted, but nature doesn't have any foresight of course. This is the sort of thing why species go extinct.

Another well known "design flaw" is the blind spot in our eyes, which is there for no real reason in particular other than what we might call "legacy reasons" in programming terms.
Just look at that #smile
Are you trying the same Mark Text app (https://marktext.app/ , https://github.com/marktext/marktext)? Here is a screenshot I just took, trying out things: https://i.imgur.com/bvE0FyM.png — it seems to do WYSIWYG just like Typora (which I have used extensively), and in fact I can't find a separate preview mode anywhere. (There is a View→Source Code Mode checkbox that you can turn on if you want to view only the source code for some reason, but that's not the default.) See also the screenshots in the GitHub repo's README (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/marktext/marktext/develop/...). Could you explain the difference you have in mind?
This is just a pet peeve of mine: journalists who obviously didn't double check the facts they speak of.

The psychological fallacy that the author speaks of is actually well studied and known as the conjunction fallacy and is not really that related to bayesian inference[1].

It is also notable that human decision making shows base rate neglect (not considering conditional probabilities), but when things are presented in terms of frequencies rather than strict probabilities, human decision making follows a bayesian curve[2], thus showing that humans do in fact incorporate bayesian learning and are in fact good at it contrary to what the journalist says.

Yup. All this.

Emacs being a platform within a platform is a feature. It comes with an extra benefit: it's a free (libre) platform. Completely shielded from corporate interests. There's no bullshit inside. No proprietary formats, no unnecessary network dependencies, no "X as a Service". Just a community of folks maintaining and expanding a parasitic OS that embraces interoperability and personal productivity above all.
Not sure what GP is thinking of, but type checking for Excel would be really nice:

I think core.logic is basically just a Clojure implementation of miniKanren. I'm not too familiar with logic programming myself, but my impression is that miniKanren, core.logic, and Prolog all use basically the same algorithm, operate on the same type of data, and try to solve the same set of problems. The advantages/disadvantages are probably external to the core problem space, e.g. do you prefer an embedded DSL better to a full-blown logic programming language and so on.

I'm a hardcore Clojure advocate (it's a fantastic programming language with a great ecosystem of libraries), but there's no doubt that the amount of resources available for learning the API of core.logic is less than what's available for Prolog. If the objective is to learn logic programming from the available resources, Prolog is probably the better option.

Yes, there are multiple issues: one of which is whether or not the government should be paying for NPR and foreign aid at all. But, what I think the original poster was responding to, and what the main purpose of the "receipt" is, is that most (or at at least very many) people don't know how government spending is apportioned.
The problem is, the different services could be split across hosts, not just ports. It seems SRV records provide the only option here but they're not supported by browsers. That leaves www as the only viable option to move web serving into a different machine.

this site gracefully degrades a png with 24bit alpha transparency to 8bit alpha so you don't have to settle for a gif.

That site is great because it's so easy, they did some very impressive drag-and-drop code and it makes very high quality output that is as good as Fireworks.
They do mention this in their press release -- no sql engine overhead, etc.

My experience with MySQL (and Postgres and Oracle to a lesser extent) is that it is precisely the general-case optimizations built into the database that make the NoSQL use case really hard.

Have you ever designed a large MySQL database that you wish to persist to disk but the use cases of your app require keeping the entire table in RAM?

NoSQL implies a developer commitment to a certain, restricted set of use cases for data access (and sometimes storage). In exchange, you get extreme granularity over how the server stores and retrieves data. Once you do that, you frequently get at least an order of magnitude speedup in your data, maybe 2 orders, depending on the data and access patterns.

I do not anticipate significant numbers of people dumping their redis or membase stores for this solution, because the press release strongly implies a 1.2-1.5x speedup for certain data access, not 10x-100x. 1.5x isn't good enough; if it were, people would have tuned MySQL some other way originally rather than moving architecture over to KV stores like they did.

This will likely get uptake from people who are already committed to MySQL and occasionally want to use a KV store for certain data patterns. I would anticipate, though, that this will just make it easier for those folks to move their KV store out of MySQL once it scales.

And that's not such a bad thing to offer to people, so I take back my earlier disappointment.
The more technology we have, the less we resemble the creatures encoded in our DNA. Humans are made to be lazy but are only truly happy when striving to overcome obstacles. Once we have AI even work will have lost its meaning. I wouldn't be surprised if, at that point, we spend all of our time gaming. Living in a simulation of our ancestors can be considered the ultimate game. Some things are elegantly explained by such a theory. The weirdness of quantum mechanics? A computational shortcut.

Let me explain why I have learned to hate SEO over the years.

I'm writing this from a throwaway HN account. I work for a 4-year old company, where I was one of the first 3 employees. We have a very popular website that gets over 400 million page views per month. We get lots of traffic from Google. When I started, our priority was making a great, simple user interface. But we were also very aware of SEO, and paid much attention to self-links we put on the site, anchor text, URL parameters, all the usual smart SEO stuff. So far so good -- we did this opportunistically, and never at the expense of the user experience.

As we grew, we hired a person dedicated to SEO (a non-programmer). Then we hired another. These SEO people started having us add links and pages in strange places that made no sense to actual users. And adding links that sometimes made sense to users, but were unnecessary, and cluttered the user interface. The page footer grew and grew, eventually spanning 3 lines. We added funny redirect schemes that made the site slower for users. We were afraid of our links to other sites because we might leak valuable "Google juice". We added redundant tooltips that were useless to users. Many of these tactics were crap our SEO people read on some webmaster SEO forum, with no scientific basis. Sometimes our SEO people even had the gall to say "I have an idea I think will be better for the user experience", and go on to propose something that only benefited SEO, and made the user experience worse! In other words, they would focus on GETTING the user (via Google), but forgot about KEEPING the user (through good user experience). Thankfully, we never did the black-hat methods like cloaking, but some things very close were proposed and met with loud opposition from our developers.

For a long time I would fight against these changes, because they made the UI worse. I lost most of these battles because it was hard to convince the managers that it was hurting the site (but it never seemed to be necessary for the SEO people to prove it was actually helping SEO). I was eventually spending so much energy fighting these SEO proposals that I just gave up. User interface designers and developers spend a lot of effort to make a web site look good and run fast. Then the SEO people go and fuck it up. It's very frustrating for developers. I know SEO is important. All I'm saying is that SEO should never be at the expense of the user experience. I hate what it has done to our web site, and I know it's happened to other websites as well.
Interestingly, if you did store your string as (length, data) pairs, strlen would be an O(1) rather than an O(n), which would also impact strcat. Also, strtok could possibly become non-destructive.

The length value of the pair could be an 8 bit character value at the beginning of the array (which is how Pascal did it). That limits you to strings of length 255. If you represented strings as a struct containing an integer length and a char * pointing to the head of the array, the size limit of a string would in fact be no less than the limit of the length of any addressable array anyway. (Assuming that the head of the array is at memory address 1, the farthest it could possibly stretch is to the highest addressable memory value for an n-bit pointer. So an n-bit integer for the length value would clearly suffice.)
Definitely put it on.

In a backhanded way there is actually value that you can work effectively with "bad" code. Many places that are hiring are hiding their own shameful secret : they hate their own code. Sometimes something they are even screening for is to make sure the person is not going to baulk when they discover the reality of the code they are now involved in and who will be pragmatic enough to work with it try and make it better rather than declare it's a disaster and not their fault.
I'm guessing this the unfortunate consequence of the pattern "actually, " becoming a pejorative meme in the past year or so.
Chrome is designed to give Google control of the information it collects. That is the only reason it exists. It has everything to do with GA. They're not burning millions on developers out of goodwill.
Do you have any statistics to back up your assertion that faster traffic does not change lanes to pass a cyclist taking the lane where taking the lane is defined as riding between the center of the lane and left your track? One experiment [1] demonstrated that motorists consistently changed lanes to pass when cyclists rode in the position I described.

No, it's just what you choose to hear because it suits your purpose.

Someone had just been killed and people were looking for justice, and his response was "There are fine people on both sides."
It was a weak, flaccid, prevarication when people were looking for actual leadership.

He was too cowardly to say anything more forceful because he knew it would cause him to lose standing with some of his supporters, so he tried to weasel out of it.
It was a moment that spoke volumes about what he truly values, and THAT is why people were angry.

With this approach, people have to start sharding their data as soon as one server can't handle their application and sqlite usage.

Why not advocate instead for people to start out running their application and postgresql on the same server, with wal-e for backups to S3?

That has almost the same benefits while everything fits on one server, but opens up alternative approaches to scaling if one day things no longer fit.
>A possible answer is "keep the immune system in its youthful state and it will take care of any emerging cancer cells and terminate them with extreme prejudice without you even noticing". Natural killer cells are basically unstoppable once they home in on a target.

So does anyone know what actually happens if the body's neuro-endocrine-immune systems are too damn smart? What is an overly well-regulated body like? Is that medically good or bad?
At the civilization view/level of "holy crap we have to get off of ICE", PHEVs are critically important to migrating the transportation system off of carbon in the very near term.

Basically, consider that battery supply is going to be functionally limited compared to the number of cars that there are on the road.

If a decent range (40 miles+) PHEV can make all-electric 90% of daily trips and mileage, then that is basically the most optimal design/allocation of limited resources.

I'm not saying we don't work on all-BEVs. But PHEVs shouldn't just be incentivized, they should practically be required for all non-specialized consumer car purchases, or you suffer a very rapidly phasing in car and registration tax.

The atkinson cycle engine is likely a bit new in terms of engineering and maturity, and while your "puff of smoke" will be significant, again, a good PHEV will handle 90% of trips all-electric.

In particular, if we can get a good PHEV design using LFP chemistry (cheap, plentiful, wide temperature range, safe, and very very deep recharge cycle limits), that will help enormously.

And I have a very dim view of Toyota. They could have PHEV'd a decade ago or earlier (Prius and Insight were on the road in 2001 remember) and have mystifyingly dragged their feet in adopting them.

Ford is working on an electric F-150 prototype: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXFHgoon7lg

And considering it's the electric drivetrain that adds all the main features (performance, tow capacity, torque, electrical outlets, etc), they could easily close the gap with Tesla. It remains to be seen on how much people care about the styling and hardened steel body though.

Being able to reduce or temper that exposure is literally the point of trigger warnings.
The part about how people "copied an existing init script or thought ... that init scripts needed LSB headers that looked like this" sounded like it to me.

I didn't initially manage to follow the right sequence of links to find the example[1], but now that I have, the context seems to be that "System V init ignores all of these" (the parts people copied without understanding), so the description still looks applicable to that example. (They serve no purpose at the point in time when they're added by cargo-cultists but cause problems much later when someone/something assumes that they are actually meaningful.)

It seems you're trying to imply some causality whereby Trump can take credit for Biden's current policy, even though it's only been a few years. If you want to make that argument, do so explicitly.

In the short term, obtaining energy independence is helped by no longer appeasing SA. When oil prices are higher, domestic production becomes profitable. That's if the current prices aren't just a result of the SA strategy of periodically flooding the market to bankrupt high-overhead producers.

As for your "we’ll see if there’s a grand strategy behind it", that strategy is obviously domestic production and renewables. Looking forwards instead of looking backwards.
Responsibility is shared jointly. If you merely drive the getaway car for a bank robbery in which a bank guard is killed, you yourself are fully on the hook for murder. If Trump had taken Covid seriously and advocated common sense mitigations like wearing masks, socially distancing, and refraining from unnecessary activities, our position would be significantly better. As a public figure, downplaying the problem while advocating irresponsibility is at the very least gross negligence. This puts him on the hook for the entire outcome. I agree many other politicians are responsible for their part as well, but that's besides the point.
> Pay down any debts greater than 7% per year (7% is the average yearly return for the stock market)
Don't even think about investing until you do this, not being charged 15% a year in interest and penalties on credit card debt gives you a 2x higher return than the average investor

I feel like this should include inflation. Granted, low rates have become the standard, but I think people should be aware of how higher rates can really change things. If the inflation rate is at 10%, and you can get 7-8% from a Cd, then that debt isn't looking so bad.

When comparing interest rates to market returns, I think the fact that markets have returned net negatives for some ~5-10 year periods, and have returned net nothing for I believe some ~15+ year periods, should be included. Only compare interest to debts to the market over multi-decade time periods, and keep in mind that some long tail events may still not be captured.

I'm sure I'm too late to the game to have anybody care about this, but here is how you can tell this is something cool:

I just went to the local bar with my roomate and, despite it being pretty busy, I told one of the bartenders "Hey, want to see something cool?" and pointed my phone at their menu. Now, almost immediately after I said this, I realized it was kindof rude (they were busy), but she looked anyway...then she proceeded to yell at all the other bartenders to come over and check it out...and the guy sitting next to me spent about a minute going over the menu (translating from english to spanish) wowed as well.

You're not going to get that with angry birds.

Awesome.
