Isn't this derived from conservation of momentum? As I understand it, that arises from a symmetry in spatial configuration: that physics behaves identically along shifts in position.

I'm well beyond anything I'm familiar with, but it feels like these more fundamental relations should be where meaning of equations like F=ma arise. If momentum is conserved due to symmetry of position, then forces applied by a field are exactly what disrupt that symmetry and thus are exactly what invoke changes in the conserved quantity?

I hope for explanations like that to bear more fruit because they arise from some pretty undeniable facts of reality: there aren't privileged positions in space except for how forces exist in some configuration, there aren't privileged moments in time except for how events occur along some timeline.

Thanks. I do expect people to behave differently when posting something that friends will see -- actually I think I hope so. But also, I also hope that the kind of public post on Quid Sentio will be very different than the kind of post on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc

My challenge is to create a UI good enough to make it clear for the user when they are posting only for their own journal and when they are posting for friends.
What confuses many people in high school is that
F = ma
but
KE = 1/2 mv^2 (or 1/2 ma).
There is very little signal on quora, mostly noise, the UI is confusing and it pollutes results, so I cannot agree more.

But there are many more websites that should be "removed", instagram, pinterest (basically everything that requires a log-in). Also, all reposts should be removed, there are so many sites reposting SO or mailing list content with weird UI.

> Then perhaps correct me on what problems Rust is specifically trying to solve?

Here's the very first presentation about Rust: http://venge.net/graydon/talks/intro-talk-2.pdf

There are a few different goals, but one of the largest ones is memory safety. C and C++ are not memory safe, but Rust is. Memory safety is impossible to retrofit onto these languages, and so, you need a new language.

> As far as I can tell Rust stands on the shoulders of the LLVM backend- there are existing frontends, like C and C++ but Rust started from scratch.

Implementations are irrelevant, the issue is semantics.

I hit this wall hard with every math teacher. The world seems to be divided into three groups: people who get math easily, people who got math with some effort, and people who can't get the other two groups to slow down and let everyone else process their explanations.

Math teacher, with a solution 60 steps in: "See? Simple!"

Me, having been unable to break them out of the zone for the last five minutes: "Okay so back on step 1 you said..."

Fortunately YouTube came about just as I hit college remedial classes, and some of the math channel people seem to get it. Plus, I can make them stop with the pause button while I process something.

There's a lot of confounding issues here in relation to the insulin problem: the fact that medical patents are poorly structured - insulin is hard to make, and making it via a biological mechanism means the "molecule" is slightly different, and so the FDA needs time and money to assess it. This creates a defacto monopoly, and thus, said monopoly can raise their prices.

The fix isn't to force billionaires to give out their wealth for free - but instead to fix monopoly laws, as well as to stream line the way approvals can be made for generic molecules made via biological means (like the way generic drugs are today).

In fact, an insulin factory _should_ be easy for a billionaire to fund and if the relevant regulations are better, there'd be more insulin sellers as there's profit to be made (seeing as Shkreli has raised the price).
The problem with analogies is when you choose poorly, it can ruin an otherwise perfectly good argument.

I mean that I don't want my 4 year old to stop ageing, please :-)

So "stop ageing" is only good as long as we have some decent measure of control over it.

(I feel like I'm really stating the obvious here, but I don't know the whole discussion well enough to know if I can assume that obvious stuff is well-understood...)
I kinda take issue with the "infinite growth is unsustainable" notion.

If 1 dollar = 1 natural resource then clearly, yes, growth is constrained.

But it isn't. My example for this is clerical work. Banks (for example) used to employ vast rooms of clerks, who spent entire days performing simple, repetitive maths in double-entry ledgers to make sure the bank knew where all the money was. Now all of that is done by computers, and so cheaply that banks now offer massively increased services. More value, for less cost. That's growth.

Given that this is HN and frequented by legions of hackers trying to find problems to solve that create real value (by reducing costs or improving services), then this is the last place I'd expect the "growth is limited" mantra to be trotted out.
This is true, but either fortunately or unfortunately humans seem to be resembling lab animals more than wild animals.

All these productivity gimmicks and schemes are self-defeating. I used to pay attention to every latest one, until I realized the issue was me, not how I organize.

I do use many lightweight facets of GTD, but really my productivity mantra has fallen back to a simple 1980s marketing blurb from a shoe company: "Just Do It".

Alternatively, if I'm feeling particularly whiny and lazy: "Just F-ing Do it!".
I wonder if this rule translates into other domains as well? That is, does a violinist become noticeable after 1 000 hours, but only a true master after 10 000 hours?

Also, we should never forget that these X hours rules are speaking to X hours of deliberately stretching practice/work. They don't mean, try randomly for X hours and you'll automatically become awesome/successful.

I like "delegate", how would you call `Object.prototype`? And "parent delegate" looks a duplication for me. Children-Parent Inheritance language (like receiving traits by children) and Object With Delegates language:

({}).delegate === ({}).constructor.withDelegate
({}).parent === ({}).creation.withParent

Oh and `Object` - it is `ObjectConstructor` - though all regular functions are constructors

constructor sum(a, b) { return a + b }

It's required on all new construction in Norway for a decade or so as well. Very common for renovations as well.

Norway also just switched to smart meters, which can detect ground problems as well, and supposedly a lot of issues has already been prevented by these being automatically reported. I suppose this is something which is more likely to spread to other countries, as it's not just a safety thing, but also an upgrade that makes your life more convenient, and saves the utilities money in the long term.

> Being at the top of Dota is easier than being at the top of Math or Chess or Go

I slightly disagree - neither Chess nor Go have nearly the millions of new players playing it obsessively as they come of age. Math is a bit different, but often times “good at math” isn’t very rewarding except as it pertains to an ancillary job, or if you’re one of the relative few who become a math major.

There’s also a major drop off over time with MOBA players - the average age is 22 or something for professionals. Eventually the reflexes get worse.
I worked for him out of high school; building the add-on to his house... Then in his factory building the product we sell for 2 years (very hard work, bending metal around a bender 3-4k times a day) ~ then he helped me land my first computer gig (ebay lister). I did that for 2 years then came back to the company as the only IT person.

Have since basically doubled internet revenue.

My answer; networking... one of my old friends worked in the factory and knew the guy needed some odd end help building a add-on to his house. Currently he is building me a new office onto our new building... I still feel the need to go independent though; cause of stupid office politics.

You probably don't want to see the unminified source. He has reimplemented CSS as well as ASCII conversion in JavaScript. Oh, and he's mutilating prototypes left and right with extremely necessary functions like

I did receive my email, and here are some of my thoughts from that point on (I agree with most of the points above).

1) After completing the registration form, I was not immediately signed in. Before I got my email, I tried to log in and was told that my combination wasn't valid (it was). I then received the email, clicked on the link, and the resulting page told me 'link has expired'. I then closed both mixlr.com browser tabs that were open, clicked the link again and it took me to a page that said 'you are already logged in'. Weird session-y experience. I would expect to be logged in immediately and use the link to verify my email address.

2) I understand this is just getting off the ground, but do you plan on displaying a list of previously uploaded / currently playing streams?

3) Do you plan on establishing a 'public / private' capability so that certain streams would only be known by the passing around of the link?

Best of luck w/ the site.
Terminal. I started using Emacs in the terminal because I wanted to train myself to use its keybindings rather than menus and icons. I haven't looked back because running it in a window is just one more window to manage (rather than being slot 0 in my tmux session).

Raw data generally does not meet the copyrightability threshold in the US (datasets are often copyrighted in the EU, though). The lack of copyrightability of data (say, phone numbers or maps) is why there are paper towns on maps, one kind of copyright traps:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fictitious_entry

Mathematical facts are usually also not copyrightable for the same reason: they're just considered raw data. However, we can obviously copyright a mathematics book or article because there's more than just raw facts in it: there's style, presentation, and many other signs of authorship.
Seems to me, in a post scarcity society, attribution would be even more important.
Well, there has to be creative input, right? Suppose you take all my written works, train a model, then used that to generate text it doesn't sound meaningful to me that you now own that text. After all, someone else could easily and naturally do the same and they too could end up with similar enough weights that they generate similar text.

That's not a creative act you did. We all do that.
The problem with restricting speech to only "true" speech is that then the truth is defined by those in power and those who disagree may not speak.
Big means that you're training for hypertrophy (muscle growth). You gain as much muscle mass as possible, but don't care where. This results in an imbalance, your big muscles get really big but the smaller ones don't. They become the limiting factor in strength. Also, your endurance then sucks.

Explosive strength and strong is more subtle. You basically have two sorts of muscle fiber: one is for short explosive strength the other more endurance. Different training results in a different mix of these fibers (as does genetics!). It's a case of getting the right kind of fiber in the right muscles for your sporting goal.

There are some fantastic youtube videos from people who are experts (for me it's a hobby), I can recommend Shredded Sports Science for the theory and Athlean-X for a mix of both theory and practice.

I have a tiny fraction of the historical expertise of the author, but it has always been clear to me that Martin's books were a sad amalgam of utter misconceptions and stereotypes: around politics, religion, love, family...

Which is fine! Except that it was marketed as "reality based", with "a dash of fantasy". It was irresponsible to say the least, and it's quite sad to see its effects.

The author raises an interesting point: how to overcome the hundreds of millions of dollars that back these false depictions, so that truth can have its fair chance of being heard and known?

In theory, this is what school is for...
They are tools for accounting: both as in actually making a count of the matter, and as in actually holding yourself “accountable” for meeting them.

I don't understand when people complain about Yet Another Framework. There isn't a single solution to everything.

When there are plenty of unknowns and you're working solo, you need a very thin layer that lets you craft a prototype quickly and not spend too much time configuring or generally investing a lot because it's something you plan to keep for a short time anyway, or it has a small scope that is never expected to grow. I think this framework kind of fits this model.

In a corporate environment, on the other hand, you're probably building something with the intention to last and then you need something that is established and has rigid interfaces, off-the-shelf components and Stack Overflow activity. Ideally, a framework that can only produce one style of code so that the next person or the next team can pick up.

Another possibility is you're on a budget, a handful, but know-their-way, developers and there is no plan to scale that for the foreseeable future. You want to try out ideas and be able to fail quickly. If you use React and TypeScript for your prototypes, you'll get a sound and solid codebase but also one that also cost you a lot of time. So, if just before the end and a couple of months in you discover you need to do some dramatic changes, you are left with little options and an empty budget.

Each needs to do their research and decide based on their unique requirements and more frameworks = more options, easier to find a fit. In my opinion, use the big frameworks only when you have a clear concept of what you're building. Otherwise, use something that gets the thing done as painlessly as possible.

Edit:

In addition to that, the world changes, and our concept of what is the proper way to build UIs or even what constitutes a good UI changes, as the world and the people change and new technologies emerge. If we aren't exploring ideas at the edge of our undestanding and knowledge, then we'd still be writing <font> tags in our Geocities pages.
> (I haven’t looked, but I would expect modern Java implementations already make up quite a bit of the stack trace only when it is needed, for example when inlining calls)

Yes they do. But they can't make up the stack for tail calls because the information is simply gone. If you've got a set of mutually functions that are tail calling, and you suddenly need to generate a stack trace, how do you know how many times the functions have been called and which order they were called? That info was never recorded - it's just done. Inlining is static info and much simpler - it is recorded and isn't gone.

That is very short-term thinking; taking years is still eventually.
