Binary operations will do it, like in `True or foo()`, but there's no real lazy evaluation machinery for parameters to a function. (Yet? I bet someone's working on it... at least I haven't tried any packages like lazypy for it.)

Ternaries are often used as single-usage substitites for a variable, but it's not rare to see the ternary statement simply copied somewhere else if the same value is needed again.

Using ternaries only when it is free of side-effect can both helo avoid a class of unnecessary errors, and add meaningful semantic information that some code is, or should be, side-effect free.

It would be great if the compiler(s) in various languages supported enforcing it, but sometimes you take whatever you get.
A lot of replies are focusing on the outcomes implied by the OP's checklist -- if you answer "yes" on all, you'll be more likely to succeed financially. As a founder, I think it's far more important to focus on the journey aspects of it. Meaning, if you check the boxes, just maybe you have the mindset that will make you happiest when you're in the midst of all that hustling and struggling in the game. That mindset is what keeps you in it... if you're reward-focused, then you're going to burn out and lose direction.

So let's reframe the discussion from "do you have what it takes to be successful in a startup?" to "do you have what it takes to love the sufferfest grind of each day along the way so the outcome is just a nice reward at the end?"
Ex-employee sued Snapchat over fake metrics wants ‘whistleblower’ protection
I've never quite understood the argument that bitcoin are difficult to spend. I have bought things with them and it's so much easier than credit cards! You open a wallet app, point your phone at your computer and tap yes, done. Credit cards you have to (optionally) make sure the site won't steal your number, go get your physical wallet, fill out a rather long form (that sometimes throws an error and makes you fill it out again) and then occasionally call the issuer because they decided someone might have stolen your card and won't let the transaction go through because it's big.

Bitcoin has problems but spending UX for online transactions really isn't one of them.
I've begun to notice the elderly in my life eat worse as they age. My mom was a health food nut (in a good way). Now at 80, she eats whatever looks yummy at Trader Joe's and Costco. She's earned it, sure, but there are consequences. I've suggested to my siblings that we get her back on Meals on Wheels, just so she'll eat some real food.
It takes a minimum of 7 years to design from scratch, develop, test then settle in a "simple" customized order and inventory processing system, sans a WMS and picking component.

The "services" people subscribe to when setting up some kind of shopping cart on their Web site are neither complex nor highly customizable. Most importantly, they offer no opportunity what-so-ever to purchase a guaranteed delivery + guaranteed execution service.

When an order from a dealer (doesn't matter what automotive area) leaves their Business System, it is no longer their responsibility. It is the responsibility of the badge (Freightliner, Harley, Toyota, etc.) That order, which can be hundreds of thousands of dollars each and every day, must completely pass through the badge system, routing out to warehouses, vendors, distributors and manufacturing schedules, without ever being lost no matter what fails.

This is a completely different business model than Criminal-Net sales where people complain about the billions of dollars worth of "abandoned shopping carts" each year. By and large these are not "abandoned shopping carts." These are the symptom of a poorly designed system built with feeble tools. Something FAILED and the consumer went to a different site to place their order.

Blade and rack mount servers are built with inferior hardware. Their entire premise is the swarm principle.

Many will die, but some will survive.

Each and every time one of the many die, the customer leaves. Some sites have tried to "fix" this problem by sending you emails every few hours for days about the things "you forgot in your cart." This isn't a fix. This is an alcoholic refusing to admit they have more than a drinking problem.

What are your thoughts on Vivaldi?

I try it occasionally and I'm enjoying it. Most tools come out of the box, like Adblock, screenshot, window tiling, and mouse gestures. Not sure if the Adblock is as good as uBlock origin, though. Some new features like an improved history (haven't used thoroughly yet) and tab stacking.

It still is a bit buggy for me on Ubuntu 16.04. Sometimes when playing videos the window flickers.
That strikes me as a very, very generous assumption. Even assuming this were the case, it still seems to me akin to perjury, that is, instead of being up front about what they are doing "I am recreating how and where I found these" rather than deliberately putting on an act.

I understand that you say you still believe the officer was wrong to do so, but I think this should be sufficient evidence to assume innocence here.

I'd get a job and go the more conservative "sidehustle" bootstrapping route of making a site or YouTube channel and then selling something for money. Stay focused on your job and don't quit until a sidehustle has momentum.

If you have no idea what to sell then just teach everything you know (about one topic), try to make something useful for people and make it in public (e.g sharing your progress on your blog or YT channel). Worst case scenario, you'll have a job, be saving money and build a small audience / reservoir of credibility.

Also maybe start hanging out on Indie Hackers instead of here.

Edit: as the sibling commenter said, get your life in order. That's number one. Until you find a job and can cover your rent, don't even spend time on news aggregators. I wouldn't worry too much about timing to be a founder. Everyone feels like they're too late and they've missed all the opportunities but there's always a next big thing. Keep your spirits up!
My wife is a Type-1 diabetic and I'm fairly confident that there's no such thing as a "zero carb" diet. She's had several endocrinologists tell her that she needs to eat carbohydrates. This is definitely something we need to survive! More importantly, there are naturally occurring carbohydrates in most unprocessed foods (greens, vegetables, beans, etc). Obviously "refined carbohydrates" are different — that's the sugary stuff you find in pop but also stuff like pasta and white rice. Basically the goal should be to avoid overly processed foods, not all carbohydrates.
You might want to look at when IPv6 was designed. It's quite a bit older than you might think.
It makes me sad my comment was downvoted, I approach new claims with skepticism (like a good scientist does).

There are chrome extensions (which also work in Vivaldi) to do text-only zoom. I haven't tried them and can't vouch for them, though.

Before Vivaldi added customizable mouse gestures, my plan was to stick to a Firefox fork that will still support XUL addons, like Pale Moon. That's my suggestion, if the text zoom addon doesn't work and your use-case really needs that.

Similarly, in CPython function-local variables are faster to access than class or module attributes (with the usual bunch of exceptions you always have in Python).

This probably applies to similar languages (like Ruby) as well.
Interestingly enough (since it relates to the topic of this article), I got rid of my acne by ceasing to consume all of the unhealthy carbs (grains, sugars, etc) that were messing with my blood-sugar levels. My body seems to over-react to these changes in blood sugar, and a day or two after I eat these things I'll get some kind of bump on my face.

What makes it worse is that the withdrawal from the sugar-high seems to sometimes make the pimples hurt more than they otherwise would, and makes me feel some kind of intense compulsion to pick at the pimples, and so my face ends up looking much worse than it otherwise would if I just left the pimple alone; it honestly reminds me of the descriptions of drug addicts who pick at their own body (I think meth addicts do that?).
Ask HN: How do you spend your free time in office?
> your body needs a fair amount of carbs every day, and people are cutting bad carbs without replacing them with good carbs, and thus experiencing an inescapable craving for carbs.

I'm sorry but this is simply not true. Since switching to a ketogenic several months ago I have maintained a very low (< 15g / day) net carb intake and not only have I not experienced any adverse effects from this, I feel much better (better mood, more energy, less hunger cravings) overall. I should also point out that I am a very active person as well (yoga & Crossfit daily), implying that a high fat diet is suitable (in terms of energy requirements) for maintaining an active lifestyle.
Ah yes, you should have "just become a celebrity." That would have solved everything.
My guess is that they didn't expect it to be so easy, and were surprised by the success, and started to party on, and forget (or were too drunk) to take the rest of the money that was on the table.

Anyway, your theory is much better than mine.

I think if you framed what you're trying to say in terms of addiction, availability, and avoidability [of carbs] it would be clearer. That's my interpretation of what you were trying to say, which might be wrong.
Not really, IMO mostly people just got tired of talking about them.

> [I consume] carbs in the form of two bags of "steam-in-bag" broccoli and a bag of carrots

Keep in mind that the glycemic index of foods influences how your body reacts. Broccoli is a very low GI food. Carrots are quite a bit higher.

I would guess you can eat quite a bit less broccoli than you can carrots, because the insulin response to carrots is going to be much more severe.

Someone told me recently that there's a link between red dye and these illnesses. I wouldn't be surprised.

I drink things with red dye in them when I go on long car trips because it has a rather strong effect on my short term memory (it seems to reduce it's capacity to almost nothing) which in turn means I really don't get bored (and don't fall asleep out of boredom.) Of course, once I get where I'm going I really can't do anything useful because I can't focus for long enough to think about anything.

I think you're underestimating just how big a deal the split was. It could have lead to Bitcoin being split into two distinct currencies, and this was happening on a very short and defined timeline (July 21st and August).

Both in terms of embedded systems application: What makes micropython safer and easier to develop compared to C/++? In terms of safety, is there better memory allocation and hardware control through Python? I would imagine micropython would be more inefficient and more prone to hardware error. As for the ease of development, wouldn't C/++ be better? Sure, it's harder to read but C/++ seems like the right tool for this particular job.

I'm pretty curious because I'm pretty fluent in Python and I have been learning C++ for more lower level stuff mainly for speed reasons. I still program most of uC through C++ so I'm curious if I should learn micropython if it provides substantial benefits.

Responding to E6300:

You are mostly correct, in terms of effectiveness.

Also good are exercise (building lean muscle mass), reducing carbs (a la keto, paleo), and intermittent fasting (keto).

There are other health benefits to cutting carbs, especially HFCS: reducing obesity, heart disease, diabetes.

Just think of the strategies as complimentary. And do what works for your body (eg consuming too much potassium can worsen some heart conditions).
It's interesting that you (and a number of sibling comments) have this feeling. I've always found the pairing process to be a faff, but once that's done it works very consistently.

This is silly - even if it was true that "black people tend to have more dense fast twitch muscle, while white people tend to have less dense slow twitch muscle" (and I doubt it is) its not relevant. All people who are not physically handicapped can be taught to not drown, and that's what we are talking about here, "not drowning." We aren't talking about competitive level swimming, not swimming as a sport, and not even recreational swimming, we are talking about "stating alive if you find yourself in water." The fact that most (~70%) of black people lack this skill is a serious public health issue.

If a life without pasta isn't worth living, then I'd rather die than get back on the blood sugar roller coaster that pasta puts me on.

the pills does have lots of side effects. if they work on one aspect, they do work on others, because there is not a single pill on the market that can target one receptor only. absolutely no reseach, not even the ones very favourable to the drugs, show zero side effects. none. zero. targeting a single receptor with full confidence is the holy grail of big pharma.

what happens with your case, is that you do not care about side effects. or even welcome them. just like most depressed people in bad marriages welcome the lower sex drive, or stressed people at work welcome the drone like sleepless life. And you will not even know you are living like that until you go to a good therapist, which seem to be very rare in the US.

all that said, I sincerely whish you get well and eventually go without the meds. And I am happy you did seek out help. That's the rigth spirit. Just do not shrug off therapy. Do take the time to work with a few different ones during a year, even if you honestly believe the meds cured you 100%

>we really are in the dark ages still

No, we'd be in the dark ages if we were in still the dark ages. Our current level of progress would seem like science fiction or even magic as little as a century ago.

I think I understand your point, that we have so much more to learn we're not even able to quantify what we don't know.

But this is not some kind of endless quest. We're dealing with a machine in the end with finite complexity and eventually it will be understood fundamentally.

My primary reference is Auerbach's Wilderness Medicine 7th Edition. It states that a consensus definition of "dry drowning" has been somewhat elusive. While laryngospasm may play a role in some drownings, opinion seems to lean now towards at least some aspiration of water on a consistent basis. The phenomenon is still the subject of debate.

None of your criticisms of credit cards seem valid.

> Credit cards you have to (optionally) make sure the site won't steal your number,

Nope. If it's stolen, you get issued a new card and all the old transactions are refunded.

> go get your physical wallet, fill out a rather long form

Browser integration makes it easy to fill out these forms. I don't use it, but I've seen people who do.

> and then occasionally call the issuer because they decided someone might have stolen your card and won't let the transaction go through because it's big.

In my experience card companies let the transaction go through even if it's big. Then they call you. Mine sends me a text saying "Was this you? Type 1 for yes" and that's the end of it. I like that. It's a good thing.
https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2010/12/-god-he... They're not well-regulated.

First they install a permanent port into your bloodstream. Your kidneys aren't working, so after 2-4 days you're feeling bloated and your blood is full of various toxic metabolic by-products. You bum a ride to the dialysis clinic where they cycle your blood out of your body, run it through a filter, and push it back in, for hours. They try to be careful of your red blood cells, but some of them get smashed up in the machinery. They try to regulate the temperature of your blood as it gets returned to your body, but it's often too cold or too hot. You get very dried out during this process because you want it to last another 2-4 days, so you overdo it a little. You and the dialysis clinic want to get this over with as quickly as possible (they have other customers to schedule) so you have 2-4 days' worth of filtering to do in a few hours, which puts a lot of stress on your internal organs.

The #1 cause of death of people on dialysis is people deciding to quit because they'd rather die in the next few weeks than continue the treatment.
> the rate at which sugar is metabolised is more relevant

It's not "more relevant", but it is deeply related and important. A low glycemic index food will spike your blood sugar much less than a high GI food.

And the relation of a food to blood-glucose is not fully intuitive. Sure, soda is obvious because it contains pure sugar. But carrots have roughly the same impact as soda.
There's no "zero" carb diet but being in ketosis means you don't need carbohydrates. But a ketogenic diet is not something I'd recommend a diabetic do without consulting a doctor and regular blood work.
On average the standard US food is of very low quality but this gets compensated by increasing quantity. It really saddens me to see what kind of crap food a lot of children are growing up with and are getting conditioned for.
