Insurance can also make existing risks more acceptable and thus lead to more risky behaviour. E.g. if someone has 0$ co-pay/deductible for car crashes they might not drive as carefully because who cares, it won't cost me anything right? (well until they jack up premiums). So crafting insurance policies and rates takes a lot of care, but the profit motive is a strong driver here.
Apparently it's called "afterburn" and some googling doesn't seem to turn up anything saying it's not a significant effect... In fact, it seems like everyone is saying it's pretty significant (how much exactly being debatable and probably highly influenced by genetics). Where have you heard the opposite?
> What I hear you saying is "if only we banned these foreigners, maybe our native born people would have a chance in Phd programs". And what I interpret that to mean is "Let's not spend $80 billion on free college for everyone who wants it, because that would be 'big gubmint socialism', instead everything will work out if we just institute protectionism immigration policies."

You seem to view everything through a racial/foreigner lense. It muddies the debate. America is a melting-pot already, and US citizen focused policies are to the benefit of all US citizens regardless of race, birth-country, sex, etc. You are implying hidden motives in everyone's actions which cannot be argued against because we simply do not know what is going on in their heads.

Education is a big money making industry. It brings wealth into the country. There is far more incentive to bring in foreigners than to improve the opportunities for US citizens (who are not all white males - why does race and sex have to come into this I have no idea).

I appreciate the discussion, it has been a good insight to another side of the debate floor.
Yeah, I would take jails over Docker as well, but systemd is just so much better, (more so than jails over Docker in my opinion), than init, that I am hoping for a better tool to come about, the underlying LXC technology appears to be solid.
(I think you mean high-throughput, not low-throughput: broadly speaking, the options are high-throughput but high-latency, or low-latency but low-throughput, or some balance of the two.)
From the article: "Goodenough invented the heart of the battery that is all but certainly powering the device on which you are reading this."

^ rumors of the demise of the desktop are greatly exaggerated.

Yeah, I get it, a lot of people read internet articles on a tablet or phone, but using the phrase "all but certainly" is way beyond the scope of reality. A brief google search suggests mobile usage is probably between the 50% and 60% of internet traffic.

Yeah I think mobile will continue to grow, but I don't think the desktop will disappear in the near future, if it ever does completely. Of course, the blurring of the lines between the two could cause making the distinction to become more challenging.
> I think they missed a big opportunity to make the watch fashionable and popular

Yeah, I mean they're only the second largest watchmaker in the world, barely popular at all!
So doesn't that ultimately sabotage the idea that it brings information to the masses faster, if no one can act upon it?
Yes and yes. Any other softball questions?
It's better than that: the fact that the universe even exists implies that at some point there was either a violation of this law or it is part of a larger closed system within which the law still holds.
That's why, as they say in science, "it's always better to give up."
Again, only based on my codebase, it was better but in the same way it was better on post gzip size: by not a lot.

I'm sure in other specific cases it may be a lot better. Just not in mine.
Distill does assign DOIs. There is a citation_doi meta tag in the page source, and you can also find a complete list here: https://search.crossref.org/?q=Distill&publication=Distill

I agree that the DOI should be included in the BibTeX citation.
He's basically just finished it. And is doing pretty good in generating buzz IMHO - I spent the last four and a half years drawing a solo graphic novel, and I sure don't have an article in Forbes about it,
With respect to software and art - it makes me think of the author(s) of Dwarf Fortress where what is accomplished probably would have been severely diluted without the singularity of vision of a single primary programmer.

Regarding more production oriented software environments - it reminds me of chapters in the Mythical Man Month discussing the considerations to team size/composition and it's tension with consistency of design and communications cost.

Hey Hacker News,
We made bugg.ly to solve a problem we have been having with our side projects and growing projects. Having to set up a email sometimes for each and then dealing with buggs and suggestions gets a bit complicated. Tried to simplify this process by making it a easy to paste footer link for each project and one admin panel for them with no barrier for entry for the user to suggest something.
The are a few VNC X servers.
Agreed. I didn't take your comments as anything other than constructive. Alas, though, this administration has no diplomacy.
I'm already not exercising, so adding a bath sounds like it would be better than nothing. But honestly, I doubt I'd have the willpower to go to the trouble of bathing for an hour each day either.
Cherry KC 4000: cheap, laptop-style, no num-pad and not ugly.

I removed the annoyingly positioned fn-key (removed the rubber-dome and glued it down, so the felt edge of the keyboard is the ctrl key).

I tried mechanical cherry brown keyswitches, but it wasn't for me.

No num-pad and no fn, because my keyboard layout¹ has the numbers under my right hand when I hold a modifier.

Is the fact that this person is a representative proof that Russia has been meddling in our democracy for a long time? Or have we, all by ourselves, managed to elect as representatives some people who are this badly in need of a civics lesson?

I'm not sure which hypothesis I find more disturbing.
Hot baths are effective, but mostly in conjunction with actual excersise as well (pros, especially ones who are involved in very heavy lifting, regular have hot/cold post-workout baths). This article is very sadly misleading.
> Insurance can also make existing risks more acceptable and thus lead to more risky behaviour.

Arguably, that's the entire point of insurance: mitigating the risk of the insured activity so that it is more acceptable as a choice (because unmanaged risk can make an activity less acceptable than average expected net benefit would suggest.)
I think the counterargument is that most people don't make decisions based on technical merit (as the goal of technical dissemination is), but in (a) effects on humans, which don't need a technical explanation in the sense we're talking about and (b) emotions, tribal membership, novelty, etc.

I certainly didn't study computer science because I had complex information about some tech topic explained in an easy way.
Isn't the other way around? Mostly algo / automation with a layer or curation? At least that's how I think it used to work, maybe that's changed.

At the very least it seems like the clustering is algorithmic and "most" of the ranking.

Author here. The quality of the reports that use debug info (like "compileunits") is entirely dependent on how complete said debug information is. There may be ways of mining the debug info more completely, to compensate for this. Theoretically .debug_aranges should be all we need for this report, but we could supplement this with info in other sections.

That's why I like games such as Chrono Trigger: basically no random encounters, you can see and avoid most enemies my running around etc. Most of the value of such games comes from the story. You're interested in how it's going to advance / end. And fights are just a nice addition to see heroes struggle to the end instead of just being passive spectators.
I've seen discussions about replication a lot. Isn't it more often than not the case that replication is made expensive because the paper describing it simply leaves out too many details, making replication more of a guessing exercise than actual, well, replication?

This article basically says 'great idea but not going to happen here' (see: "They have their principles, and making America Singapore is simply a non-starter.") Seems as if the U.S. has these huge ongoing problems with healthcare but nobody can fix them... including tons of players/$ in health tech. Is the only thing that can effect actual change a huge policy overhaul?
I use a similar setup. Tmux is essentially my WM, as all my work is done on jump boxes.

FWIW, vimperator is awesome in FF, though I hear it's going away soon with recent FF updates.
I have an acquaintance working on a similar project, a CG film titled "White Tiger Legend". He's been a VFX artist on many films you've seen (LOTR and the Hobbit movies, Avatar, the Matrix trilogy, &c), and has been plugging away at this the entire time I've known him.

It's very much a passion project for him, much like "Nova Seed" seems to be for DiLiberto. He isn't working entirely alone (he's got actors — though as a Kung Fu black belt, he's doing most of the motion capture for the fight scenes himself — voice talent, a composer for the score, &c), but it's very much his vision, and his baby.

This kind of thing takes discipline and dedication of a sort most of us can't even imagine, let alone execute.
That's just a meaningless introductory statement.
[Podcast] Making security more inclusive
In theory I think a closed system undergoing completely reversible processes could be considered perpetual motion (being reversible, entropy never increases). The second law states that those are the only sorts of isolated systems that don't gain entropy over time.

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

But time crystals aren't perpetual motion just by dint of not being closed systems at all, so they're kind of neither here nor there.

Or, there is no minimum entropy, and no matter how far back you look there's more entropy. Maybe the Big Bang is an illusion and before the big bang, there was even less entropy, and on and on infinitely into the past.

This isn't true at all. I had a TS-SCI and was aircrew. I got diagnosed with "Depressive Disorder Not Otherwise Specified" after a SINGLE visit to the base psychiatrist and was permanently taken off of flight duty. It literally ruined my career and I basically had to beg for an early discharge.
I think both Ebert and this talk address this directly and you can't say the presenter in this case was game illiterate. Something can be complex, creative, require artistic talent to produce, enjoyable, etc, etc and still not really be art, certainly not of the timeless variety. Better critical theory probably isn't going to turn a non-art into an art.
Isn't there that game called That Dragon, Cancer wherein it chronicles the experience of the Greens' raising their son Joel, who was diagnosed with terminal cancer at twelve months old? I wonder what Ebert would have thought.
consider that if they could have charged that much to begin with, they would have.

Probably not, it was just my expectation to see some beautiful animation that a team wouldn't be able to do after the headline. I still remember when I watched Lion King in the theatre when I was about 10 years old, and I was very sad when Disney shut down the hand-made animation studio. I would love to see something similar, but in my eyes this comes nothing close to those movies.
It's decent but I'd firmly put it in the category of "pop-lit" vs "modern lit". It's very present day and I don't think the writing was anything spectacular but it is a fun "quick" read for sure. I'd say give the first a shot, and if you aren't interested, you won't miss much skipping the rest.

What's the legal status and overall vibe of something like this in the UK?

The most basic issue is that health records about an identifiable individual are classified as "sensitive personal data" under the Data Protection Act, which is our primary privacy legislation. As such, there are several extra conditions that apply, in addition to all the ones covering all personal data, which constrain how "data controllers" and "data processors" are allowed to use that data. (The technical terms are defined in the Act itself.)

A lot of the details discussed in the original report are relevant because in this case the "data subjects" (the patients) did not give their explicit consent. There are specific conditions required under the Act for processing sensitive personal data without such consent, and it's not clear whether this agreement met them, for reasons such as those discussed in the report we're talking about. If in fact the conditions were not met then a lot of people have probably broken the law, and both the organisations involved and their officers are potentially guilty of offences.

I found the preamble a tad confusing. It seems to imply that all our evolutionary behaviours aim at solving a problem. I had understood that they are simply the emergent phenomenon of selection - in other words they are the behaviours associated with successful individuals/groups. Is this just a sort of shorthand - assigning a kind of design _intention_ to Nature as a simpler way of expressing this? If so, isn't it anyway the case that not all selected behaviours do actually solve a problem, but are sometimes just a case of "stuff that became associated with success"?

I should say my last encounter with biology was a GCSE some time in the 1990s.
There are over 200 sovereign nations you can choose to live in. The fact that you're not happy with any of them suggests you might have unrealistic expectations.

Don't conflate health insurance with real forms of insurance. Health insurance is a weird beast which has an ancillary purpose of what insurance really is.

Most notably health insurance was previously used as a tax free way to provide benefits to employees, has always provided access to phenomenally lower healthcare costs and now legally provides some fashion of free preventative care.
I'm not picky as long as it is "tenkeyless" and not too bulky. I never use the number pad anyway; being right-handed, the mouse feels uncomfortably far away when the keyboard has a big bulky extra sidecar sticking out.

At present I'm using Lenovo's thinkpad-style USB keyboard (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00F3U4TQS/). I like its slimness and the trackpoint is convenient. There's nothing especially lovely about it, but neither does it ever annoy me. It's also nice for muscle memory that all three of the computers I use regularly have exactly the same keyboard layout, whether they are portables or desktops.

I tried out the Happy Hacking keyboard, but it's been collecting dust for a year or two now. It's nice in a nostalgic way, reminiscent of the original Macintosh keyboard I used when I was first learning to type, but the long-throw keyswitches and loud clicking sound got old.
Let's not forget about sales tax. $4.2B amounted to $630M in taxes. Plus the import tax, which would be another $630M dollars.

And then take into account that they have stores and employees and have to pay taxes accordingly. And then there's the investment poured in to generate those entities.

Pretty soon, it looks pretty reasonable that the goverment allows things like this to be structured because otherwise, taxes would be a deterrent for companies looking to enter the market.
Some people simply don't understand that other people hate exercise. It is extremely unpleasant for me.

I'm going to let you in on a little secret: If done at a proper relative intensity, everyone finds exercise extremely unpleasant in the moment. It's why we give up on planks, wuss-out on an uphill run or climb, back off the pace, listen to music, blab with others, skip the next rep, try to squeak out a few extra seconds before the next interval, and all sorts of other distractions while exercising. So your friends are BSing themselves or not working hard enough.

What people actually enjoy is the feeling of accomplishment that comes after the fact, getting out in nature, or the validation of being in shape, being able to cheat more on meals... basically all the side benefits. It's fine that you don't want to do whatever you prop up in your head as "extremely unpleasant" exercise... just stay active like you are already doing. But please, cut out the mental baloney that you're some special snowflake because you find exercise unpleasant... we're all feeling the pain here.

> Example, if you are trying to keep[ muscle while dieting (in caloric deficit), running and lifting heavy is a way to lose muscle.

No, that kind of exercise is what you do to assure that you are maintaining muscle in a deficit; not having that kind of exercise and having a calorie deficit is how you lose muscle instead of fat.
I didn't quite get it from the initial skim of this page.

But here's the key bit:

> [existing solutions slow] ... due to extensive data movement across the functions. Weld’s take on solving this problem is to lazily build up a computation for the entire workflow, optimizing and evaluating it only when a result is needed.

The "Background" [1] section of the tutorial has more info too.

I've done lots of optimizations before with CPU/GPU computations and I've definitely noticed that minimizing trips across the bus and doing computation during bus activity is critical to saturating the processors/memory. But would we see the orders-of-magnitude improvements shown on this page for CPU-only work? I can't quite tell what was measured in the graphs.

I started using EXWM, the Emacs X Window Manager, a few weeks ago, and it is by far my favorite window manager yet. It is the ultimate anti-desktop: all windows just become Emacs buffers. Since terminal windows are just Emacs buffers, managing terminal windows is exactly like managing X windows.

After almost 20 years of: Enlightenment, Blackbox, Window Maker, StumpWM (only tiling window manager I could stand to use until EXWM), too much twm, Openbox most recently, and a few others I forget, EXWM feels really refreshing.

The difference is that the money was given away willingly, was personally directed to beneficial causes, and was orders of magnitude more than you have "donated."

Being a remote employee (not contractor) for a couple of companies, both of them established some sort of address in the state.
There are "HR" companies that handle group benefits, payroll, etc. which will have an in-state address (usually some lawyer's office who is a registered agent for them). There are likely companies like this that operate internationally, or you could look for that kind of firm in those countries.
A charitable interpretation of the "all but certainly" line is that they meant to imply given that you are reading this on a mobile device, that device is all but certainly powered by the device invented by Goodenough. In fact, that's how I read it. After all, rising above the level of semantics, what is the topic of the sentence? That the things he invented have widespread use. Percent of people reading a given article on mobile vs desktop is not close to the topic of the sentence so that's probably not what they intended their words to be a commentary on.
As somebody that exercises a lot (HIIT, cycling up hills, double black diamond skiing, tennis, lifting), I find longer stays in saunas/spas (>1h in "hot" overall, <15min/hot session, 1min/cold session) very beneficial as well, giving me a great feeling of well-being and clear mind, especially in winter (combined with D + Magnesium etc.), so I wouldn't be surprised if it had a positive long-term effect as well. I also look 15 years younger I am told, but that might be partially from being an electronic music composer ;-)
My money is on it being an air battery, in the paper they commented: "The charge and discharge voltages show a good coulombic efficiency over 1000 h; the cycling was continued beyond 46 cycles despite an imperfect seal of the cell. "

A rather simple test to determine if it is in fact behaving as an air battery would be to weigh the battery before and after discharge. Air batteries get heavier as they discharge.
