Not yahoo.com. I did not write the article. I never endorsed any part of the article. Yahoo is a left leaning publication and they published that article, on their front page. Thus to claim right wing conspiracy doesnt make any sense because its not coming from breitbart. I seriously cant believe you spent your friday night writing an 8 paragraph response to nothing. I wasn't trying to argue anything other than a fact that there were articles on top media websites claiming outrage. Good grief.
Apparently one of the factors that made this attempt invalid for the official world record time was the absence of a wada-sanctioned drug test.

It's an impressive feat if they're clean. If they shaved two minutes off the world record by pumping themselves full of PEDs then it's not really noteworthy.
I suspected this was probably the case. I urge you to make it very, very clear.

As a prospective crate author - and every programmer is a prospective crate author - i interpreted this as saying that if i publish a crate which people find useful, i might be getting an unexpected visit from the Rust Police.
There's a huge demand for attaching remote reporting (sounds more sensible than "IoT") to legacy devices and equipment.

What the market needs is a gateway unit that goes for sub-$100 with a boatload of I/O plus a net-connected radio.

I find sketching schematics for hardware is a lot more natural than sketching UML, and they're super helpful for making sense of a rat's nest of wires. I can't recommend them enough! I'm a big fan of using paper, it's quite efficient and easy to edit. I only use a design app to present the schematic.

"A few years ago, I predicted it would happen in 2075, which gives a sense of where my thinking was at that point."
There is an interesting consequence of this. Everybody realized inequality is a bad thing. And thus equalization is the answer. So let tax progressively. What is missing there, and will be missed in foreseeable future is that government equalize mid-manager with retail shelf stoker. Real ones who own and reap benefits are excluded from the process. You can see prove of that everywhere - gentrification haters, bay area protests against programmers. Still elites are never even considered as a main problem. Basically gov policies equalize lower 99%, top 1% is untouched.
So amazingly untrue...

Maybe Processing because it is about making things rather than writing programs and it's community is not caught up in computer science; instead it is built around creativity.

But in general, I would not focus on which language is better but which language can be used to improve something that they already do. For a writer, Emacs Lisp might be a good choice. For a photographer, Lua and Darktable might be a good choice. For a graphic artist, Python and Gimp or Inkscape. It's not programming language that matters so much as programming practice.

There are also languages like Snap that are beginner friendly.

BTW, if it's on their own, then it might make sense if the 18 year old chooses. It's ok if they change their mind.

Good luck.
By what relaxed definition? I didn't give a definition of "science" as that's kind of a hard problem smarter people than me tried to solve.

But hey, let's play a game: You tell me what's a necessary condition for something being a science and I'll tell you an instance where that condition as broken or a "non-science" that fulfills that condition.

Go!

DISCLAIMER: I'm not an expert in this and I can be very off concerning this area.

Having said this, I think the risk of man-made earthquakes is exaggerated. I mean, I think it might be possible to trigger small seismic events, but they should not be the destructive kind. I doubt we can trigger massive destructive eathquakes like this. Also, from what I understand, smaller seismic evnts should lower the energy that the bigger ones have.
Protection generally comes in the fact that the AV will explode or your library will explode. You just need to ensure that such an explosion does not destroy your service as well.
It's a rule of thumb, not a law. As the article points out repeatedly the ratios differ from one example to another as you can see from the examples given. The 'rules' are ballpark averages or easy to remember round numbers across many different situations. What's important is to understand the effects that lead to these distortions in distribution.
Exactly what I was thinking about. Is the book a fiction or Chinese DO KNOW something?
I would discourage it. Having rock-bottom pricing, you'll not be able to afford to market to the same customers as your higher priced competitors and it will take you a very long time to build your customer base.

If you have other differentiating factors, that changes the equation but all things being equal, lower price isn't enough.
"Our work refutes the belief that the battle between publishers and users is leading to a permanent arms race between the two parties, and presents a much more nuanced picture."

"There is a significant need for follow-on technical work into the expansion of techniques that we have introduced as well as a debate on the ethics of ad blocking."

Is there really a need for debase on the ethics of ad blocking at all? How could you defend presenting ads as being ethical at all? Do they really provide any value to our lives? I keep seeing it just as a waste of human attention and wondering what humanity would be like if we rejected the concept of spamming us with advertisements via every possible channel. Is it just me or we should stop accepting them and start working on building society where this is not accepted or at the very least, greatly excised?
I agree completely. Even worse is how some people (in the article) think that there should be regular patrols to prevent "illegal" diving at these sites. So we want to waste resources and fuel just patrolling some remote ocean site to keep people from messing with an old ship sunken decades ago, and also not let any non-salvagers just look at it? It's crazy.

I'm all for museums and saving history, but this isn't it. Museums are great: you take something that could otherwise be lost, and you preserve and protect it and put it on display so that people can see it and learn from it. Keeping people away from a sunken warship doesn't do that at all. And the concern for the feelings of relatives of these long-dead crew is nuts too. How much concern is there for the feelings of the descendants of King Tut with his body on display? With these old ships, there are no bodies in many cases: human remains don't last long in the sea, unless they're locked up in a watertight compartment.

The final paragraph of the article is the only place where they really got it right: if you want to preserve these things, then salvage them yourself and put them in a museum. If you're going to leave something abandoned in the middle of nowhere, you can't get mad when someone comes and takes it.
Note that the size parameter is ignored by the standard library implementation. It is intended for use by user-defined implementations.
So we launched https://emailoctopus.com around 3 years ago, it was pitched as 10x cheaper than Mailchimp and that's remained our core proposition.

That said, it's very difficult to grow a bootstrapped business when you're not charging much. At the lower end of the market you usually have less committed customers and depending on the SaaS, you may attract less favourable customers. As such we're slowly moving away from pricing being our only unique selling point and beginning to look at differentiating features.

Copying features at a lower price is a fine way to start out as a one-man band and gives you sufficient focus to get it out ther door, however, to grow the business I think you'll need to look bigger.
> it looks like programmers would rather use "parsing as a library API to process normal text"

Yeah. That code is stored as text hasn't turned out to be that much of a problem, when parsing it is usually quite cheap. Rust's `cargo check` (parse + type check + borrow check basically) runs in under a second even for large codebases.

For ease of implementing editing/refactoring features, the author seems to want a standardised, poly-lingual storage representation for code. That sounds like... text. There is little else in common between all languages. The winning abstraction so far isn't the storage format, it's something like Language-Server which lives above a parser/semi-compiler and just works with symbols and filenames/line numbers/char spans. These are pretty much common to all languages.

If you wanted all the benefits described, like one-line renaming operations in your SCM, you'd need to completely normalise the storage format into relational data structures. This would only really work for static languages, and would open you up to a heap of distributed systems problems: What is the true representation of a particular symbol? What if we both commit two symbols with the same ID, or two IDs for the same symbol? Nobody wants to need transaction support and SQL constraints for a file in Git. And think of how a one-line change like this:

// main.rs
+ pub fn gimme_seven() -> Option<i32> { Some(7) }

would add some entries in database tables all over the place:

// symbols.json
+ { "kind": "function", "id", "d3c42d4d-9df6-43a0-97a0-147fe8e52a2d", "name": 'gimme_seven' ... },

// main.json // { exports: [ ...
+ { "id": "d3c42d4d-9df6-43a0-97a0-147fe8e52a2d", "visibility", "public" }

Using fully-denormalised text is the only reason SCM works in the first place. Programmers suffer boundless pain just trying to get computer-generated (usually XML) config files to play nice in shared repositories, and I'd never wish the same upon anyone trying to write actual code.
On the Great Evil Know as “Proof of Work”
I believe after a certain point in your development, to be a better engineer or a better writer you have to become a better person. A person who is truly and consistently nurturing and able to understand what others are going through. You master your own inherent narcissism. Becoming a better person is much, much harder than improving your skills in one area or another. It takes a change that must come from within. No one will guide you. No external motivation exists. No material reward.

Consider if Ernest Hemingway had never written a single line of prose, but showed up to a party hosted by anyone who visits these pages, it would be clear he would be the most interesting person in the room. Because of the life he lived and choices he made. The words, they're a mere side effect of a life lived deeply and fully.

This is why writers like Dave Eggers write about other people who have lived extraordinary lives (What is the What and Zeitoun). Because he grew up in relatively bland suburbia. He lost both his parents very young, and wrote about that but then what is he going to write about?

> You're describing this viewpoint

Yes.

> evolution selects at multiple levels

That's just another way of saying that evolution selects for reproductive fitness with respect to a particular environment. If a gene is part of an organism, then the other genes in that organism are part of that gene's environment.

The aggregation of genes into organisms is itself an evolutionary adaptation (as is the aggregation of organisms into more complex organisms like eukaryotic cells and multi-cellular creatures). This aggregation provides reproductive fitness by enforcing a certain level of cooperation among the aggregated genes (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Evolution_of_Cooperation). But this is not the fundamental mechanism of evolution, and every now an then a gene "defects" and does what is best for it at the time. Cancer is an example of this.
Are you challenging the contention and the reasons cited?

There is no argument in the article that this is good or desirable. Many things in nature are terrible and destructive. But doesn't it help if we understand them? What point are you trying to make?
This looks like a decent mail client and making PGP more accessible I think is an admirable goal but I wish designers would stop patting themselves on the back...

"Simple. Secure. Stunning." is right up there with all these "show hn" that start with "beautiful".

Let social proof speak for itself. Show a quote from a major publication calling you stunning. Don't call yourself stunning. I bet you it is more effective that way.

Edit: the thought occurred to me just now, imagine if in online dating profiles someone started their profile with a self-proclaimed "Handsome and sexy"... would you go out with that person? Then again, I haven't been d ating in 10 years, maybe it's changed.

My favorite quote from the article:

> Imagine two plants growing side by side. Each day they will compete for sunlight and soil. If one plant can grow just a little bit faster than the other, then it can stretch taller, catch more sunlight, and soak up more rain. The next day, this additional energy allows the plant to grow even more. This pattern continues until the stronger plant crowds the other out and takes the lion’s share of sunlight, soil, and nutrients.
I cannot use "$" to go to end of line to work. Also, when holding down "h" it does't scroll.

Other wise very nice!
>People taking this metal from sunken ships aren't just cleaning up a mess, they're destroying historical information.

Who cares? If you really cared about that historical information, you'd salvage it and put it on display in a museum. "Historical information" isn't doing anyone any good sitting on the ocean floor.

>And who knows what stuff is on the ships (oil, fuel) that isn't being properly cleaned up, just dumped into the ocean?

Again, who cares? If you cared, you'd clean it up properly yourself, instead of just leaving it there to leak out into the ocean. The USS Arizona is still visibly leaking diesel fuel out into the water, and no one's doing anything about that, so it's hypocritical for you to complain about this.

This whole subject is just fraught with silly, misplaced sentimentality. I do personally agree that oil and fuel should be properly cleaned up, but we don't do that now, so it obviously isn't a valid concern. I do agree that historical information should be preserved, but we don't do that now (by leaving it inaccessible to the general public on the ocean floor in a remote part of the Pacific), so it obviously isn't a valid concern.

Great work. I think quantified self is one of those area that is under-looked. We put all this energy into BI (Business Intelligence) but we don't put much effort into making products to help people better understand themselves.

I would argue that integrated markets and mutually beneficial trade are a big reason countries don't go to war.

Markets are wonderfully adaptable, much more so that central planning. Don't have to source right now but I read that Japan had supplied most of the US rubber before ww2. After the war broke out and trading stopped, there was a big incentive to develop a synthetic rubber, which was accomplished very quickly.
> I can't imagine taking a coding boot camp student seriously.

I felt more or less the same. Then I worked with a few, all second-career starters from a variety of boot camps. Not all were great or even good at what they did - but some, one in particular, were excellent. The latter group seemed to share a degree of native intelligence, drive, and perseverance which didn't seem to occur all together in any of the former. It was almost as though the fact of having graduated a boot camp, by itself, predicted nothing useful at all...
Monopolists win through regulatory capture. Are they "better"?

"Better" connotes a value judgment. The author of the article takes the neutral concept of "accumulative advantage" and inappropriately ascribes moral value to it, corrupting the insight of the Pareto principle.
Same on desktop.
Not more expensive than high power servo-motors! Hard to get low-RPM and position control from most drone motor controllers for robotics. I think it's mostly just different use-cases :)
At the late 90's and earlier 2000's it was commonplace to fix OS panics by opening the computer and pointing a fan at it.

I would try it even before going for some harder software problems, because it's so easy.
Using ngrok does not make it a hard dependency.
I mostly agree with you. After 50 years untouched it should be up for grabs for anyone who cares. However as the article explains these old ships are one of the only sources of radioactivity-free steel (newer steel is contaminated by radionuclides due to the atmospheric nuclear explosions that took place from 1945). We should keep better track of it.
The article downplays the word "consistency". Being slightly better is indeed an advantage, but unless you keep being "slightly better" all the time, the others can outdo you, since you're not the only one trying to move up.

"Use habit to keep being slightly better!" -- but sometimes "slightly" is not easy to get by simply making it a habit. "Grow userbase 5% week over week", for example. It's easy to get 5 extra users when you have 100. But once you reach 1000, getting 50 probably not easy.
Correct. OP probably meant jumping to conclusions (perhaps on a welcome mat)
> There's no way that a tidal plant running for 100 years is going to change the day by 1 second. You're many orders of magnitudes off.

It was a recollection of a problem from 25 years ago for crying out loud.

Thinking about it some more, it's probably slowing down the rotation of the earth by 1 second over the course of 100 years. Not 1 second per day. Which makes about 4-5 orders of magnitude difference.

> I didn't check your molten rock calculation but given how off your tidal plant calculation is I wouldn't be surprised if it's way off as well.

The point was to get a "back of the envelope" calculation. Not to get a precise answer to 4 decimal places.

What's with the bike shedding? Is the point here to have a discussion, or to prove that you're smarter than everyone else?
"And it isn't like they were doing HTTP 'HEAD' requests -- no, they were doing 'GET' requests."

Some httpds treat them the same -- they still send the file after HEAD requests instead of only the headers.
Holy cow, some of those are complex. The equations of motion must be arcane.
The comments here seem to point to the fact that the author is simply using a bunch of loosely connected observations to try and make a point more important than it is.

I've found that the article was very useful framework to think about optimizing things. Especially as the author describes how small tiny advantages appear to accumulate over time and amount to giant advantages that is meaningful. Ie. habits, no matter how small but are alightly better, snowballs into a large advantage over many iterations
I will just echo the other posts here that the author of this article or his sources severely misunderstand natural selection and the special case of sexual selection. The most important thing to understand about evolution is that natural selection can only work with the existing traits of an organism, the current environment in which the organism exists, and what random changes happen. Furthermore, every change in the phenotype of an organism has a number of sometimes disparate impacts on its likelihood of reproductive success within its own environment. Given all of that, we should _expect_ to see seeming contradictions like this example.

Most birds can fly because their parents could fly. The genes for flying stick around because so many other traits of birds have evolved to benefit or rely on the ability to fly. But that doesn't mean flying itself is some magical end goal. Flying is only useful for natural selection insasmuch as it grants the organism a better likelihood of reproducing.

Why would natural selection necessarily prefer birds that are ideally designed for flying in what we perceive as a graceful manner? In fact, we know that it doesn't. Ostriches, emus, and penguins can't fly, though their ancestors were able to. That is not evidence that they are evolutionary dead ends. The huge variety of penguin species that have evolved since the ancestor of penguins lost the ability to fly proves the opposite, in fact.

This bird clearly flies well enough to continue to survive. If the traits that work against it flying gracefully grant it more reproductive success than flying slightly better would, then natural selection will favor those traits.

Natural selection is often treated far too preciously. Sure, it took a genius in Darwin to identify and clearly describe the phenomenon, but the process itself is tautological. It comes down to, "the things that reproduce better reproduce better". This bird exists, therefore natural selection favored its traits. If we don't understand why, the failure is ours, not natural selection.
> how sensible it is to route data through a third party

Maybe don't keep sensitive data on your dev machine?
There's only one long term solution to this problem if the countries involved want to assure that the remaining sunken ships aren't looted: salvage the ships themselves and put the wrecks in storage or museums.
"n the few activities that are responsible for the majority of your success."

It also suggest normalizing. I.e. If you can identify the 80% of the time where you're under utilized at work by one thing then use that time for something else.

Also, I think this gives insight into knowing when to cut a loss or decide whether something works or not.
Sorry for being off-topic. I just want to say, "STM32F405RGT6" is possibly the most hardcore product/model name ever. Just beautiful.
