For shoes, I would think there’s just too much variation in foot sizes, foot shapes, and runner’s weights to even consider that.

Cycling similarly allows picking the bicycle frame to match the rider’s body. It does have a minimum weight for bicycles, though (6.8kg, which is high for current tech. Given deep enough pockets, 2.7kg was possible in 2010. See https://www.tririg.com/articles.php?id=1035_Worlds_Lightest_...), and regulations that effectively forbid recumbent bikes.

In some cases, flexibility also is there for historical reasons. In soccer, not even field size is fixed (with exceptions for top levels) for that reason (fields inside athletics tracks tend to be longer and less wide than fields inside stadiums specifically built for soccer)

A soccer field must be rectangular, but can be anywhere from 45 to 90 meters wide and anywhere from 90 to 120 meters long (https://resources.fifa.com/image/upload/spielregeln-2019-20....)

So, minimum size is 90m × 45m, maximum size is 120m × 90m. Area-wise, that’s a factor of 2⅔.
Thanks for the response! It is interesting how it differs in different parts of the country. Personally when I'm at a sit down restaurant I usually do 20% as the math is easier.
> Nothing really prevents an architecture where part of the address space is core-local (with low latency) and not directly accessible from other cores, and the rest points to a (much higher latency) shared memory pool. I have a feeling this would be much nicer to program than a Cell or the average GPU.

Many GPU's have this kind of local scratchpad memory. Nvidia GPU's even allows the programmer to partition the local SRAM between the scratchpad memory (called shared memory in CUDA docs) and L1 cache.

I turned into a jaded citizen. When first reports from China emerged, and we saw how the CCP was dragging people out of their homes over a ‘flu.’ I knew something was very, very wrong. I told my parents and immediate family to secure provisions for at least 3 months and to prepare for a time to not leave the house at all until c19 passes.

Then, nothing happened. Not one country stopped their domestic travel, no one prepared and mandated a ‘3 month summer staycation’ (my poor attempt at marketing a terrible circumstance with some positive spin)... and we all started blaming each other.

That was sickening to me... it’s bad enough when we don’t take the proper action to protect our fellow neighbor, but even after acknowledging the cause is basically lost, we turn on each other.

So my quip was in that jaded poor taste, when I saw the finger pointing beginning again... and I should have just commented this to begin with...
Mine first TP was version 5.0 or 5.5. I still love how fast was IDE then.

When TP (or BP) was released i was still love old versions because they can compile to RAM, while new one only can compile to disk.

As someone mentioned earlier on HN, the real genius of flappy bird is the signle/double digit scores that people tend to gloat about, when they beat yours. It's hard to care about a score like 434,456 but 93.. that doesn't sound so scary.. at least when your last hi-score was 83.

> If there's no such thing as objectivity and all truth claims are just manifestations of who has power then there's no need for journalists to strive for objectivity and everything you publish is just another salvo in the war against dominant power structures.

But i think that the typical current-day NYT journalist would say that there is objectivity and truth, and what they write is objective and truthful. I haven't noticed anything coming from the NYT, or that whole 'progressive' side of politics that suggests they've adopted that stereotypical pomo rejection of master narratives etc.
Is that true? It's hard for me to imagine anything China does being 'lauded' in western media, they're very much a media/political boogeyman (not necessarily saying that's unwarranted).

This article is full of speculation and really casts an uncritical eye towards the thinly spread facts within.

"The huge difference in reproductive success very likely contributed to some personality differences, because different traits pointed the way to success. Women did best by minimizing risks, whereas the successful men were the ones who took chances. Ambition and competitive striving probably mattered more to male success (measured in offspring) than female. Creativity was probably more necessary, to help the individual man stand out in some way." - pure speculation from Baumeister here and in a lot of this talk

The implication of this talk is really clear: that feminists should shut up about the inequalities between men and women, because men have it bad/worse, too. The thing is, a lot of contemporary feminist thought discusses precisely those issues, and sees the destruction of all baggage surrounding gender as the goal.

However, it seems like a lot of contemporary thinkers in the same vein as Baumeister here have missed that boat, and are still stuck with the view that feminism is locked in the pre-simone de beauvoir days where women had to fight to win the vote and own property. Contemporary feminists generally see the fight for lawful (de jure) equality as a more minor concern when compared with social equality. Baumeister's argument that wealth and success was created in the "men's sphere" and women were left behind, is actually more an affirmation of the contemporary feminist struggle against social inequality than anything else.

Contemporary feminist thought discusses many of the topics in Baumeister's talk. The rate of rural suicide amongst men is a problem in rural Australia, and is often bought about by same-sex attraction, loneliness, and an inability or unwillingness to seek help due to social isolation. Contemporary feminism attempts to break down the stigma related to men seeking out help in this way, of the feeling that crying is for women, of the idea that you have to be with a woman to be a success.
System 7.0, and 7.1 especially, were terrific: a consistent, understandable UI and (in my experience at least) pretty stable.

The issues came with 7.5 and onwards, when Apple kept bolting on more and more features without any regard to either interface consistency or stability. Draw your own parallels.

women without children get paid 30% more than men with the same education in NYC.

The sticking point for me is the in-between trips of 200-300 miles. We live ~80 miles from the coast and ~100 miles from the mountains. Depending on the specifics of the trip, add another 20 miles each way for local roads to a specific trailhead or beach.

If there were charge points at my destination, I wouldn't think twice. Since there aren't and really aren't any along the way (maybe one or two chargers for either trip) range anxiety is real. For us, a gas car is a must but an electric will probably be our next "second" car. Of course, we may just forego the second car altogether and stick to one vehicle instead.
Nowhere does it mention the fact that the minimum wage increase is the real driver for this change.

> It’s the same reason why judges and courts strive to avoid the perception of substantive bias.

I see the point that you're trying to make, but I'll also turn it on it's head: when a judge makes a ruling does that mean that they were "biased" in favor of the winning party?

> Politics must be divorced from “its real-world effects”

Does a judge ignore the "real-world effects" of their orders and only consider the behavior of the lawyers?

> A liberal’s take on what they think will be “the real-world effects” of a proposed policy (at least, the ones they care about) will not be useful.

Is a liberal judge's reasoning in an opinion not valuable to a conservative judge?

Now that the iPad has USB-C, I wonder why they don’t build a version of Apple Configurator for it. Since they’re Apple, they can use whatever private APIs they want to use the USB port, and most people with a Apple Silicon (or T2) Mac may not have an old Mac but probably have an iPad.
It was tucked into a backpack along with quite a few other things (including 2 soldering irons, actually). I don't remember exactly what else was in the bag as to whether there was anything that could have looked like fuel in the scanner though, so fair point potentially. However, while it wasn't the point of my anecdote, I'm also fairly confident being white was one of the factors that played into zero questions being asked.
Keep in mind the level of churn. An implicit bias easy to make is forgetting that these are percentiles, not people, and most people move through different percentiles at different times in their life.

11% of Americans will be in the 1% for at least 1 year in their life, 39% will be in the top 10% at some point, 61% in the top 20%[1][2].

94% of those in the top 1% fall out in a year, 99% within a decade[1].

In other words: being a 1%er is a very transient title for the vast majority of even the rich who make it there.

Honestly, conclusory and flip answers like this strongly make me suspect that there is some truth to it. It's worth discussing beyond "Let people do whatever they want."

There is very little harm in considering this question open-mindedly, and yet the defensiveness is so reflexively strong -- even as a bunch of the people who play them will very frequently themselves step back and joke about how much time some of these suck out of their lives.

So yes, we actually SHOULD encourage people to reexamine their patterns and consider if some (not all, some) of these hours could be put to a different or better use.
Not exactly a security flaw, as the new owner of the phone number won't have the original owner's secret keys (they never leave the phone, of course) and Signal will still send the messages to the previously authenticated client.

Taking over a Signal account requires access to the phone number and the password used to register it (or waiting a week). And this will still not give the attacker access to the private keys; When these keys change, Signal will put an alert message on ongoing chats and ask for confirmation.
I read elsewhere (can't read this article) that some other banks had made similar deals with Archegos, but they saw the trouble coming and were able to offload their exposure / shares (sell the house using the analogy) before other banks and thus were able to get out with limited or no losses.

Does that sound right?

It seems strange to me that using the house analogy ... there's potentially WAY more than say a 15 percent loss (using the 115% number) if other lenders decide to nope out.

The problem that I currently see rampant is that “definite proof” is hard to come by. There are a lot of people that use a set of alternate facts and call these definite proof. I’m afraid that with some people, I’m no longer arguing about how to interpret certain data, but we’re on a level where we cannot even agree that we are observing the same universe. And I honestly don’t have an answer to that problem.

Second to that: Data can change as we gather more knowledge about something. Covid is a prime example - in the beginning, very little was known. Some theories turned out to be mostly true, others didn’t hold up. Some advice was sound, other not. Still, some people point back and use the evolving knowledge as argument that nothing is knowable and we shouldn’t do anything.
You can take everything in that article and replace it with just one metanarrative: Transition from problem to solution. The similarity of start up pitches, or any sales pitch for that matter, is explained by the function of a pitch: to demonstrate the benefit of a product.

I personally have no issue with it. Because Rust's type inference is so good, you don't generally even have to specify generic type parameters for method calls. It is more verbose and perhaps you could say less elegant, but I think it better expresses the concept.

The most comically tragic "failure to effectively test restore" story I'm aware of is from one of our customers, who previously had their own home grown backup system with encrypted archive shipping offsite, monthly test restores, and so on.

It was only after a total failure that they realized the gpg keys to decrypt the backup were only contained _in_ the backup. Their test restores before were happily using keys from the user's home directory.

This is one of the many reasons it makes sense to have a company that specializes in backups help you with backups. :)

> Putting samples together is more arranging music, while creating the notes is composing.

Really depends on what's the length of samples and how exactly are you working with them. With whole musical phrases (as used in 90s hip-hop and french house, for example), it's really more like arranging. But when you cut those very samples just a little bit shorter, and start playing MPC pads like an instrument, I'd argue you switch back to composing.

I'm just taking two lines from the article: "Reliability and proven tools are even more important than libraries"... in this case, there are a lot of proven tools for writing C programs, including the theorem provers. And "You're more dependent on the decisions made by the language implementers than you think"... there have been a lot of flaws in the JRE over time, most of them from the parts of the JRE that are written in C. If you had been writing in C, you could have avoided those flaws if you were in the top 2% most diligent and careful C programmers, because the C tools are rock solid, whereas Java tools haven't been (January 2013 is still pretty recent).

Problems in libraries, such as heartbleed, can be mitigated in C using the same tools that you'd use in Java. Process isolation is great.

Of course, if you are writing your web app in C then I am going to replace you with someone else. But the web is not everything.
