... the survey respondents didn’t necessarily perceive every non-euphoric event as negative. In fact [the study authors] deliberately avoided the word “adverse” in their study for this reason. Instead, they chose “challenging,” which better captured the meditators’ varied interpretations of their experiences.

I've meditated and attended multiple 10 day meditation retreats and I can attest that yes there are challenging moments and I have yet to experience an "adverse" event.

I would not say that meditation has a dark side. I would say that the meditators' minds are being stressed and challenged to the point where these react with such a force for which they were unprepared due to many reasons such as environment, emotional state, health issues, memories, etc. Like any activity, your mileage may vary.

I personally like to make that analogy of the mind to an OS which is trying to help you, an organism living in a giving environment, to identify and classify the stimuli it receives and generate an appropriate response. These responses are like programs that the mind/OS has generated to deal with the stimulus. All this is mechanical/automatic. If my limited understanding is correct, then meditation helps control this process and the process becomes less automatic and more controlled. The mind becomes more calmed and ready to focus on what you choose instead of whatever the stimuli dictates. Little by little the subconscious becomes conscious.
My right arm disagrees. Superheated distilled water will stay superheated and liquid long enough to get you nicely roasted depending on how much water is spilled and what it lands on. Even ordinary water will do this if the cup it is in is smooth enough and the water pure enough (not sure how that would work with coffee).

That's why you want to be very careful if your water still doesn't boil after you've microwaved it for the 3rd time. It may very well have become superheated, which you will find out as soon as you try to do anything with it, even moving the container can cause instant trouble.
The lowered contrast is a screaming invitation to highlight it myself. Making the text deviate from the rest makes it more noticable, and making me work to see what it says forces me to engage with it in a way I don't usually engage with text.

Every other retailer handing their destiny to Instacart and becoming undifferentiated warehouses of goods makes tons of sense for Instacart, but little sense for the retailers.

Sure, a bunch of small/desperate retailers will do this in the short term, but the small handful that will still be around in 5-10 years know that owning the direct relationship with the customer is non-negotiable.

> This is the sort of thing that needs to be deeply integrated into the compiler, so the author of that feature would necessarily need to understand the data structures and architecture of the compiler. At that point, it's probably easier and more reliable to write it as a compiler extension.

That's exactly what this language allows you to do, except that it's nicer than C++ and can be interleaved with the application you want to compile with the extended compiler.

> That's too low level, the language needs to provide a useful model of abstraction above that to be better than just modifying the code of the compiler itself.

I agree that a higher-level API would be useful, too. For high-level things, but not necessarily for adding goto.
React has been around for 4 years, and - along with Angular - has been a well known "obvious" choice for building JS UIs for a reasonable period of time. At least in the "mainstream".

Love for Angular seems to be dwindling slightly, and VueJS is something of a rising "new kid” on the block here, though both are happening very very slowly (if at all) and React remains a strong choice.

My point here is, while I definitely bemoan the "JS lib-of-the-moment" fatigue, I think this largely applies to the millions of ancillary libraries. The range of major mainstream choices for base frameworks/&c. it's pretty small, well established, and very comparable to other language communities.

If the objection is to JS the language, that's maybe fair game for the likes of Electron or Cordova but for an inbuilt integrated tool for debugging JS in an app with an existing JS runtime it seems the obvious choice, no?

The autonomous car services are going to launch in specific areas first, so they do not need to be tested in all the conditions that a Corolla would be tested in and can instead be tested in the launch markets.

My research suggests that 42 states contain at least one Whole Foods. The eight states excluded are (west to east) Alaska, Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, West Virginia, Delaware, and Vermont. These are exactly the seven states with population less than one million in the last US Census ... and West Virginia. (Note, however, that the District of Columbia -- also with a population under one million -- has four stores.)

Although it's a strange thing to measure, approximately 7.5 million people (~2.3% of the US) live in a state without a Whole Foods.
Read code written by others. In the case of C there is a large base of high quality open source code you can study. C is a simple language that is used for large scale, complex work so a vast amount of convention and idiom has developed. Those conventions vary from one code base to the next, but you'll find many commonalities and have no difficulty adapting once you've had enough exposure.

Reading working code is crucial; man page examples and language books won't expose you to enough real world usage. Programmers use the preprocessor. They do subtle and effort-saving things with enums and typedefs and designing a good struct is crucial.

Some well-thought-of C code bases include postfix, nginx, APR and lighttpd. After you've seen enough C you can just glance at a page of C code from across the room and know whether it's likely to be crap or not.

Great catch. This is a super important factor. The real concern in science is how easy it can be to hide the fact that so many possibilities were tested, precluding this observation.

As another example, there are GWAS studies where people take surveys and medical histories of large groups of people and then sequence their DNA to look for correlations across all possibilities. Those studies only report results with p values less than 1e-4 or 1e-5.
This is true. Usually all you need is the name of the recipient and the exact amount and they'll accept your signature.
I think that's just confirmation bias (might be another fallacy) because when you have enough source material, it's trivially easy to find those types of references predicting the future or describing something we only prove later. You also end up ignoring all the times the source material was wrong and focusing on the instances it was seemingly correct. See also, Nostradamus and the Bible for a similar type of phenomena.
According to this Lifehacker article (http://skillet.lifehacker.com/leftover-rice-could-make-you-v...)

> According to food scientist Donald Schaffner of Rutgers University, some restaurants “cook up a large batch of rice, hold it at room temperature all day,” and then take portions from the batch as needed. “Because Bacillus makes a heat stable toxin,” he explained “this is not a best practice, and has led to outbreaks in the past.”

That doesn't sound like something you would do in home cooking, so if the large number of food poisoning cases come from restaurants doing that, they may not be a good guide to the "absolute" danger from rice.

The solution to that is to triple-click a paragraph and read it in reverse contrast; it's fine.

The reason for ask HN and other text submissions is explained somewhere on HN, it's to not give the original post an advantage over the comments. (Whether you agree with that policy is a legitimate debate, but that's the reason.) The solution is the same, triple-click.
Prime is not the same as Instacart. You can't get ice cream or tine sensitiveness orders with Prime. You're thinking of Amazon Fresh, their grocery delivery service, which is in fewer markets than Instacart (as started in the article, 20 vs 69 cities).
Even today you still think a non vertical fully integrated approach against Amazon is gonna work...

I tried to not be sarcastic, because hn is a place support constructive commenting. But I think if today anyone who think they can survive amazon by doing a sub step of the retail chain, they are simply refuse to refresh their understanding or being too naive or plain stupid.

So, there are two sides to every story and maybe the truth is somewhere in the middle. What follows is just a counterpoint to your experience:

I put the piece on and after realizing it is quite suited to background music I switched tasks and did something else, intending to have it on in the background.

For me it failed this usage, because despite my initial impression I had to stop it after a few minutes. I rarely have to do that with any music I put on in the background - so it's not like I have high standards.

On a different note: when I read the title I imagined it being a percussive use of the note, like drums, with a repetitive techno-like approach - so I thought it would be quite easy to fill three hours with just the one note.

The part I listened to had no such percussive beat either. So within the constraints of the I suspect someone else might take a wildly different and end up with something in some sense better. I know, I know, "everyone's a critic..."

You didn't have to. We all know the game. Back to NPR with you for another dose of beltway groupthink.
They were not saying just nice things on stage, contrary to your little imagined scenario. They were saying stuff a lot of developers didn't want to hear.

Stuff like stop tracking, limit tracking, don't capture so much data, protect privacy this way, that way, do machine learning on device in such a way that data never makes it to any cloud, use storage techniques that keep the keys away from anyone but the user including Apple, etc.

A lot of developers buy into protecting privacy but to many developers they were not saying nice things on stage, as you unthinkingly imagine.

If you don't get things, and lack understanding, the solution is to seek knowledge. I suggested one good way to do that. Your ignorance is on you, not on them.
Never thought of that, that is a neat trick, thank you.

Well for one, using a generated password on a machine I don't own (ie a library computer) is a PITA, and thats if I have my phone. If its elsewhere for whatever reason, then I'm simply fucked since I'm no longer the source of truth.

However, I'm not sure if hardware solutions like yubikey solve this (particularly for initial logon, or "interfaces", like a computer serving solely as a printer terminal)

But anyways, the easy case is when the manager is trivially available; the hard case to solve is when its not. You can instead imagine a world where all computers by standard support some interface for hardware login in all states of operation, and by standard practice, people keep this hardware on them, and you'd have a significant improvement on the state of affairs.

I don't think there is anything inherently wrong with google programmers. Sometimes looking something up is faster, sometimes it's inspiring.

The thing a degree does though, is make sure people know what stackoverflow code to ignore.

It's illegal because the law says that it's illegal, and the law doesn't really have any justification based in fact or actual use-cases, it's just legislation and legislation has a mind of its own.

So this new model might lead to additional legal changes, but the main changes a customer might see is that if the government decides it was wrong and decides on another definition of "falsification" (not likely) or the government doubles down and requires an audit trail of the ID photograph from the taking of the photograph and all devices used to process the photograph.

Here is a small summary of the different kind of fermentation to better understand the article.
The three main type of fermentation are:

- Alcoholic fermentation (beer, wine,etc.): without oxygen, yeast produce ethanol from sugar, like when you leave some fruits rotten without too much oxygens...but fruits rotten because fungi proliferates quicker due to the presence of oxygen

- lacto-fermentation (cheese, yoghurt, etc.): without oxygen and in a warm environment, lacto-bacillus produce lactic acid from sugar

- acetic fermentation (vinegar) : WITH oxygen (seldom one), acetobacter bacterias produce acetic acid from ethanol

Louis Pasteur said "Fermentation is Life without oxygen", so whenever there is oxygen, you'll see the usual rot produced by fungi (yes, very crude simplification). So the main aspect of fermentation is to ensure an anaerobic environment, often with water or when you remove oxygen from a recipient by aspiring it.

The other types of fermentation are more seldom: propionic fermentation (from lactic acid to propionic acid like in the gruyere cheese), butyric fermentation (like in rancid butter), malolactic fermentation (from malic acid to lactic acid, because the malic acid, found in grappes and apples gives a very acidic taste and is used to lower that acidic taste in some wines).
