That's really neat, thanks!

An interesting related fact is that with equal distance traveled through headwinds and tailwinds a slower plane will be relatively more affected. From ~12% longer time with a wind speed 1/3rd plane speed down to ~1% with a wind speed 1/10th plane speed.

I'd like to stretch some ideas for the sake of exploration. Curious to hear what you think:

I think you could interpret the US military's success despite "waste" to mean that a federal government can get away with a lot of inefficiency and still beat the "free market."

History already showed us what private military is like. I believe it's essentially feudalism and warlords. I.e. true poverty for 90% of the population. A powerful federal millitary that follows the laws of democratically elected officials gives people in the US historically unprecedented safety.

It's not clear to me why the federal government couldn't build a military-like organizations for addressing food, shelter, health care, and education.

The fundamental issue seems to be that the free market is the best means for deciding resource allocation towards those other goals. So why not simply implement UBI pegged to prices in LCOL areas?
Know about JIT Method inlining
It's been a while since my last discreet math class so take this with a grain of salt, but in a combination you only care about selecting the correct members of a set, so order does not mater. In a permutation problem you care about selecting the correct members as well as their order, so it is a significantly larger solution space which expands factorially.
Considering there are over 100 muscles in your foot, there definitely is something "wrong" with a totally flat foot. A relatively low natural arch is one thing, but fallen arches is a medical condition that can cause complications and can be fixed. And it doesn't take that much attention, and no money at all. Just a few for exercises and learning to use your body correctly.
Well it seems very simple to me. There were different aspects of the enlightenment. The most central one is probably reason over superstition. Some aspects are considered good now, some are not. Just make the distinctions; don't paint the whole thing according to its worst aspects and thinkers. What's the problem?
I have about 750,000 files and 38,000 folders (I compile a lot of stuff). Are you putting everything in just one folder or splitting the folders up? I'm on really old hardware with mechanical drives and 100Mbps LAN so my observations are going to be different than yours.

I started out with just one folder syncing everything in '/home/kindone', that takes 30 minutes just to scan every time I started syncthing. Syncing over the LAN would not saturate my network unless it was a large file. That took about five hours to get everything synced when you have 700,000+ 4 - 400KiB c/c++ files. (It seems to send about 4 - 5 files at a time, someone correct me if I'm wrong.)

I removed '/home/kindone' and creating separate folders in syncthing for things like '/home/kindone/build/linux-4.14', /home/kindone/build/wine', and '/home/kindone/Dropbox'. Created about 65 different folder for various things, added them to my other machine on the LAN (that was annoying). Once they started syncing my 100Mbps LAN was saturated. Starting syncthing now takes 5 minutes to scan everything.
It's a bit more complicated than that. Here's an article that gives a gloss as well as links to more detailed research:

I was always surprised when I found myself suddenly so sleepy after a shot of espresso in the afternoon. It was nice to find that there's science backing it up.
p-values are very misunderstood and a lot more subtle than most people believe.

If you're interested in p-values, I wrote a post on them here with some counterintuitive examples (one of them shows how a lower p-value can sometimes increase your belief in the null-hypothesis).

Based on the repository description I thought it was just the code examples, but wow yeah it's the whole thing.

This post is correct. Load of a null pointer is undefined behavior in LLVM.

Kind of a tangent but the Obama birth certificate PDF had seemingly strong arguments from experts about possible manipulation.

Were those claims legit and is it possible the government altered the layers purposely just to stoke the extremes? I obviously believe Obama was born in Hawaii by other strog evidence but the PDF still seemed bizarre.

Everything seems perfectly mysterious enough in a peculiar way.
Are you adding explicit checks (possibly using fault maps to optimize them)? Because if not, you're depending on undefined behavior.
The answer is "Yes" to all of your questions.

Regarding the question about culture, yes, busy people often get sloppy. But when a P1 alert comes because a site reliability engineer could not resolve the issue by following the playbook, it looks bad on the team and a lot of questions are asked by all affected stakeholders (when a service goes down in Amazon it may affect multiple other teams) about why the playbook was deficient. Nobody wants to be in a situation like this. In fact, no developer wants to be woken up at 2 a.m. because a service went down and the issue could not be fixed by the on-call SRE. So it is in their interest to write good and detailed playbooks.
Finding ones that don't go through "science" is interesting.
Anyone have a link to the actual paper? Some polymers are known to have extremely high dielectric constants.

Yeah, I much prefer the button-less touch ID approach. Was kinda disappointed the new S9/S9+ also went with face ID.
So one use I have for HN is that I upvote submissions that are things that I want to come back to and read later. I know bookmarks are kind of made for this, but I've never really gotten into the bookmark thing. (For that matter, I also rarely use the speed dial on my phone..) That's probably because I change computers/browsers regularly, and having lost all my bookmarks years and years ago, I stopped using them.

It also bothers me to treat upvoting "comments" this way.. I want it to stay under the "upvoted submissions" link on my profile. So I googled "computer graphics from scratch site:news.ycombinator.com" and upvoted the first submission that linked to your page.

I guess what I'm getting at is that method somehow feels wrong to me. Anyone have suggestions for "read-it-later" type bookmarks?
Based on Dropbox’s S-1 [1], they received $1.107 billion in revenue (2017) and the “cost of goods sold” (COGS) just to deliver those purchased services - excluding software development, sales, marketing, and general corporate expenses - was $0.369 billion, or about 33%. That 33% is basically hosting, support, and devops/SRE (see S-1 page 68 for a detailed description of Dropbox’s COGS).

Stated another way, very roughly, at most 33% of your money went to storage. The real number is probably lower than 33% because the 33% includes support, but let’s use 33% for simplicity.

That means of $100 per year for the 1 TB plan, very roughly[2] $33 is spent on storage. If one wanted to ask “How much less would it cost Dropbox to provide me with 250 GB than 1 TB?” the answer is probably at most 75% of $33 [3], or about $24.

So, if your argument is that Dropbox should offer a 250 GB plan that incorporates their decrease in cost, that 250 GB plan would be priced at about $76/year, not $25.

(These numbers may be a little off because the S-1 doesn’t have per-plan COGS, but they probably aren’t far enough off to change the conclusion. Maybe it’s $70 or $80, but it’s not $25.)

I wouldn’t be surprised to see Dropbox add a less expensive plan, but I’m guessing it would be 10 or 25 GB, not 250, and thatthe plan would be significantly less profitable than their current consumer plan (that is, they’d intentionally ignore the conclusion above). IMO, they’d do so because they thought enough subscribers to this new plan would (a) upgrade to the bigger plan (or business service) eventually, and (b) stay on the free plan forever otherwise. This plan’s entire purpose would be to get users used to paying for something.

1: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1467623/000119312518... page F-4

2: This is inferring based on company-wide COGS and revenue, even though COGS almost certainly varies by plan.

3: In practice, the decrease in COGS is probably less because the average usage on a 1 TB plan will be much less than 1 TB.
Agreed. Similar reason why Starbucks has a Venti size and no longer lists their Short size on the menu – so that it makes it more reasonable (from a consumer standpoint) to purchase the medium-range option (Grande), thus pushing up the average price point.

Not saying that iPhones are priced the same way as lattes, but that's a known pricing consideration.
My username is a joke but way to flag any discussion of an objectively strange PDF. Thanks.
This seems like it's basically a sustainable way to achieve the same effects that inflation is typically used to achieve in western economies.
A few years ago I made something similar (http://ratewith.science/) that only uses bi-directional links, that is pages that both link to each other, and this gives much more interesting results.

When two Wikipedia pages both link to each other they are usually related in some reasonable way, but unidirectional links give you things like Wikipedia -> California, which only exists because Wikipedia is headquartered in California, a pretty weak connection.

Other than the fact I have it running on an overburdened tiny VPS, my app is also really fast even though I only do a unidirectional BFS because I use a custom in-memory binary format that's mmapped directly from a file that's only 700MB, and a tight search loop written in D.
Pretty much the chunks of the articles that show that women can at least adapt and have the ability do "fake" social function.

Yes it's very draining in some cases, but at least they can hold down a job, and function as a "normal" adult for the most part. On top of that people and employers are more than willing to make all the required accommodations when asked.

I work in engineering / IT as well as being a geek so I run into ASD guys pretty much daily and they get no accommodations and are usually brute forced into complying with the required norms, or they get fired.

Even the most simple accommodations like a bit of work hour flexibly and working from home are not even entertained in most cases.

They stick them in open plan offices, 8am to 6pm and brute force social interaction on them which is the opposite of what they need.

I do know a few other female ASD people, and they themselves acknowledge that they get way better treatment and help then their ASD male friends.
Well, for one it's important they integrate because otherwise you have liberal, wealthy people whose commentary on their plight being for nothing if they don't "solve" the problem.

The reality is that so many problems to be "solved" are multi-generational affairs that too many jackasses, idiots (read members of the general public) get involved with and feel the need to "solve" in their lifetime -- mostly so they can grandstand about it. Vegans and PETA come to mind as the two most obvious and candid examples, whining about ethics while really being into their respective communities for the attention, money and pussy.

Sociopaths take over every group after a time and run their own agendas on top of those of the groups', whether informally or formally. And of course they, as well as others love to share their perceptions and experiences within it because that's become part of their strategy in life.

The posts in this thread alone have been disappointing and smack of both affluenza and romanticization of the homeless. "Let's solve the homeless problem, yeah!" completely forgets that where these things are taking place are living ecosystems where when one variable changes, many others domino-effect along with it. Ultimately, if you're homeless in an affluent area you can snag more crumbs and get more donations, which is why the borders between haves and have-nots are so often intense in regards to property crime.

The homeless should just move somewhere affordable, where there are jobs. Money may be the greatest indicator of success but there are many common-sense reactions that people want to avoid by touting some relation to a city or that they "deserve" better than their lot in life. The knee-jerk mentality of course loves to romanticize the plights yet again and say "yeah, you really do deserve better" regardless of the personal actions on the individuals' or groups' behalf.

That's so out of touch with how the world has worked for millenia that I can't do much more than point out the absurdity. So much emphasis on social pressures why they don't have jobs that cover the bills and too little emphasis on personal responsibility, including the choice to stay in the area rather than move across the country to somewhere cheaper, with more jobs in their fields, or at least an easier place to start over -- but of course, every single time it's become a Plight that Society created thus Society must take credit for rather than a personal plight created many times over that the individual is responsible for.

> forcing people to slightly inconvenience cyclists

That's true on average. The inconvenience ranges from none at all to risking death. Fortunately the distribution is heavily skewed towards no inconvenience. I've very slowly become better at merging left from the far right as necessary over the past 5 years. The problem is aggressive drivers who pass too close. They're less than 1% of drivers best I can tell, but they're so bad that they have a strong effect on my behavior.

My current strategy is to start merging left with at least a 10 second gap (roughly) between the upcoming car and me. I turn around, wave my left hand, and wait for the driver to acknowledge me. Usually they nod, wave, or slow down a bit. No acknowledgement means no merging. If the gap is larger then I'll look but won't need acknowledgement to merge.
If a bunch of miners decide to flee Bitcoin, it might take an hour or more to mine a block.

I've been thinking about the game theory aspect of that, and it's a bit hard to work out whether that will cause even more miners to flee. If so, that could very well be a death spiral.

It's hard because transaction fees might make up the difference. Though it's hard to imagine everyone being ok with >$100 transaction fees.
Before I begin just let me say I am not a mathematician. I program so that I don't have to do complex math.

I know in reality the frequency of iterations varies considerably but for simplicity of discussion let's remove variability.

Say we have a loop with 1000 iterations. That is at minimum 1000 statements in the loop body plus expression overhead from the loop itself. If this loop is nested once with a same sized loop there are now 1,000,000 iterations plus some expression overhead per iteration. If it is nested twice deep there are now 1 billion iterations.

That example is exponential of 1000. Given that there is overhead associated with operation of a loop it is actually greater than exponential. It may not be quite so dramatic as a logarithmic growth curve though.

I completely concede that in reality loops vary in iteration count and so nested loops aren't likely perfectly exponential unless their iteration counts are identical. The increase of iterations from nesting loops does increase more dramatically than a simple multiplicative operation as the depth of loop nesting increases, such that the growth of total iterations is a curve on a graph. A polynomial growth operation when graphed should present a straight diagonal line without the presence of a third variable.
I find if I don’t actively read something then it’ll never happen. I use (not well) safari tabs this way on my iPhone, as it allows me to create an infinite number of tabs that are backed up and accessible from other devices.
I have a similar productive output currently as you described your amped up self to have and i drink 2 (sometimes 3) coffees a day. I get 1-2 hours cardio in 4 times a week and i spend time with my family. I sleep 7-8 hours a night. I take at least 1 day a weekend off completely.

Pills wouldn't help in fact they would make it more difficult. Organisation, ruthless priorization and discipline are the key. The rest is just distractions.
Based on the thread here, many people interpreted the comment as a well-intended feature request, but instead of requesting the commenter to change their comment, it seems like it would’ve been fine to just use that charitable interpretation.

Women make up the majority of Cluster B personality diagnosis.

Cluster B is the over all group which has Borderline, Narcissistic, Histrionic, and Anti Social (aka Psychopaths) personality disorders.

https://thelastpsychiatrist.com/2007/10/the_diagnosis_of_bor...

That article is interesting, in that it seems that the professionals have issues separating out the conditions.

At least 2 of the cases in linked article were more likely Narcissists, that borderlines.

I've dealt with borderlines, Narcissists and Histrionics, in a professional setting over the years, and they are pretty easy for me to spot now.

If you want to look on the brighter side consider the optimism of Warren Buffet. He insures a substantial slice of the world's risk so it's his job to rationally assess looming disasters. He's not particularly worried at this point so you probably shouldn't be either.

On the other hand, if you prefer the doom and gloom you might want to add a possible asteroid impact to your list. The dinosaurs had one and it really was the end of the world for most of them.
This is all about composition over inheritance. What if I want a sword that has a flask built in? How do I reconcile the fact that Potion and Weapon are two different branches of the inheritance tree? His points about pushing things out to a data file are also very valid.

Granted, the author may have taken it a little far, but the sentiment is right.
Where I work it doesn't seem to be much, but there are certainly people who have tried weed. Some have done cocaine I know. I colleague of mine many years ago started doing cocaine at around 25 and he got into a lot of problems. I remember him talking about how drugs were much easier to handle when you start late and is much more mature. Turned out he was wrong and couldn't control it.

But I live in Norway, where I think drug usage is somewhat lower than in the US, at least for weed. I hear much more crazy stories about drug abuse from my blue collar friends from my old industrial home town.

Personally I don't even drink coffee. Occasionally I drink red bull to stay awake. I've tried soft drugs in the past many years ago but that had nothing to do with the industry, workload or anything like that.

However I do suffer a kind of burnout/mild depression and often think I would have loved to do drugs just to get through the days. But I know that is a horrible idea so I have no plans on acting on it. People never seem able to control their drug usage, no matter how certain they are before they start.
Depends what you define as drug use; but yes.

I’m on the consulting side, and I personally take stimulants for ADHD, but I don’t abuse them. Stimulant abuse is pretty obvious on the job, be it coffee or meth, so it’s best to avoid them if you can get by without them.

I don’t drink or abuse illegal drugs; but I have known plenty of functional alcoholics and more than one literal code junkie. The culture honestly enables the alcoholics, and there’s nothing worse than being on a project with an alcoholic partner because they’ll make you go with them to the bar every night. Ugh.

Marijuana (normally hash oil in the form of vape pens) is a whole other thing. It’s nearly universal among consultants given our mobility and the high level of stress — nearly everyone has a friend on a project in a recreational state who brings back vape cartridges for their pals. Depends widely on the location and how illegal it is in various places of course.

Everyone has done it on the DL for years, but we’re just now starting to talk about it.

You've started with a presupposition that all of the clinical evidence is simply a misguided outcome based upon social constructs. How we choose to define BPD is entirely constructed, but the evidence is not, and the evidence very clearly shows that this disorder overwhelmingly affects more women than men. Just as APD and various other disorders overwhelming affect more men than women. If you're going to assert that this is due to anything other than genetics, then you're going to have to come up with something better than a weak meta-data study that barely draws any conclusions. Because to do that, you'll be going against decades of clinical data.
