Perhaps optimizing for fewer characters typed is optimizing for the wrong thing, no?

C-style format strings could be updated to work differently. Instead of having to lookup and memorize the format characters for hex one could use %{hex}. Instead of wondering what %d/%u/%p are for, one could use %{int}, %{unsigned int}, or %{pointer}. For date/time formatting using %{year} vs %{iso-week-year} would solve the specific problem in the OP.

%{m} vs %{b} vs %{B} requires both explanation and memorization. It also suffers from capital letter confusion, with m/M catastrophically poisoning the output while b/B is merely somewhat incorrect.

%{month} vs %{month-name-short} vs %{month-name-full} requires no explanation and makes it impossible to confuse minute vs month.

A better-designed string formatting system would require minimal explanation, little memorization, be trivial to review for correctness, be self-documenting, and be easily learned by example.
>Rationalism is a very modern invention

Statements like these are probably good for D&D campaigns, but its really dismissive of ancient thought, even medieval thought. No, they didn't have germ theory but they had a complex rationalism of their own and every 'dumb' serf could outlive us in any environment considering how educated they were on farming and survival.

Also the laundry list of things that they didn't have mostly applies to us as well. I take issue with how equality is supposed to be a modern given. Even in enlightened societies the difference between someone with a 7 or 8 digit net worth and a low class person is incredible. I mean, a sci-fi level of oddness here. Worrying about your next meal or next rent is a universe away from being pissed that the guys who waxed your yacht didn't do a perfect job. I sometimes end up in one of Chicago's less than stellar neighborhoods and the incredible desperation and violence and just hopelessness is overwhelming compared to my upper-middle class life.

Ignoring technology, we aren't too different from them. We had two world wars very recently, for example, which would be horror unimaginable in that age. I'd think a good D&D gamer would know that we're not different from them socially or politically and that what he describes isn't modernity but the entitled and pampered life of a suburban white American male who has never, and will never, have any real hardship in his life.

the finale of the first season of Westworld (and the second season of it so far) have your answer.
For the most part, soap soap (not all this other stuff they put in detergent) is a mechanical sanitizer, not a chemical one. Like pulling weeds and throwing them away. If they find some place hospitable to land they'll go back to doing what they do. Weeding only kills the weed if it desiccates or starves to death afterward. Blasting it with petrochemicals on the other hand may destroy it. And some bugs. And some birds. And your two year old's sense of smell...

Soap creates a colloid with the germs and oils and dirt. Warm water intensifies this effect. All that goes down the drain and becomes somebody else's problem. Which might be good enough most of the time.
For towels at least, I do a "bleach load" every few weeks when I start to notice normal washing is not enough and they smell a bit after only one or two uses. After I was with bleach, they smell clean and I can use them for like a week before a normal wash. I try to only use white towels.

The most concise, yet illuminating description I have heard about ongoing relationships with Jobs is something similar to "dealing with Khrushchev, but without the shoe antics", i.e. that, to him, everything was a zero-sum game, all the time.
TL;DR:

When it comes to stain removal, Crystal Wash does not work any better than hot water. And, when it comes to some important stains, Crystal Wash often works far worse than laundry detergent.
1. Being lower-class in America means things like your parents are not well educated, they don't have any significant amount of savings, you attend public school, you aren't prepped for college, your parents can't pay for college, your parents can't support you as an adult, etc. They're not middle-class, and not upper-class, so they're lower-class.

2. Bill Gates parents were very upper-class, he attended expensive private school, was pushed into Harvard, and he had exclusive access to brand new computers that almost no children did at the time. Jobs/Carmack had no access similar to computers at private school.

3. I've read Masters of Doom and don't think any reasonable person would describe him as "an asshole" at all. Defining someone by their flaws says more about the definer than the defined.

Of course they don't affect the industry as a whole, however they do affect the people who read HN. Reading a debate on the dangers of over-reliance of DOckers today made me realize that I should consider alternatives for my next project.

Reading about a new awesome technology, might make someone go out and do a project with said technology. While that doesn't affect the industry as a whole, the debates sure are useful for the people reading and participating in them

Didn't Twitter have one of these on its roof in SoMa? I vaguely remember reading that somewhere.
The magical word here is „angular momentum“. The energy that a chunk of mass can store in a flywheel is squared with the distance of that mass to the center of its rotation axis. If you distribute the Tesla sized mass around the edges of a 4m sized Flywheel now (spare a few % for the wheel and structural support), it can store quite a few dozen times the energy of the same sized Tesla going the same speed.

The irony of it all, that the Antifa is acting exactly like a fascist organization.

I am from Europe, and born/lived under communism, poor as hell, with food rations and all, people going to jail, etc and yes,

these dipshits (the Antifa) are nothing but a "my way of the highway" totalitarian movement, which resembles more to a loosely organized fascist gang, than anything else.
Silencing and beating up opponents was a favorite tool of both fascists and nazis.
I mostly hear about flywheels used in datacenters, to bridge the time from a utility outage to diesel generator startup. That doesn't happen very often at the typical datacenter -- monthly testing and maybe a real outage or two per year.

maybe this is a call for help and I get HN us probably the wrong place but I haven’t had a girlfriend in 15yrs and yes that means no sex in 15yrs.

Im sure I have tons of issues. If im being defensive I’d say it’a juat bad luck. There’s been plently of women that have been interested in me and some I’ve been interested in but none where we were interested in each other. It doesn’t help that I’m a geek engineer so there are no women at work and most geek meetups are 90-95% men. Sure I go to a few non geek meetups but of course I almost never meet someone there I think I have anything in common with.

I also have this hang up that if I know the woman is not going to be long term I won’t sleep with her. The reason is in my experience, at least for my type of girl, they are always hoping for LTR even if they say short term is ok so if I already know I’m not really interested then it feels deceitful. And Im also not looking for short term.

so, I’m always hopeful I’ll meet someone but that hope is now at 15yrs.

Have had 6 LTR before I was 35 including one short marriage

However, it's possible that they prioritized this early investigation to look first at certain categories of apps that may be more likely to get suspended.

Also, it's possible that they are just being really conservative in suspending apps. The suspension sounds like a possibly temporary thing while they investigate them further.
Ask HN: Can you search by image of face from collection of photos 1 per person?
Imagine I've a database, folder or whatever. That has an photos of people, say 500, and there is only one image per person so 500 unique images.

Now If I get a new photo of some person, Can I search my folder and know if this person already exists in my collection.

Extra Tip, if that new image is also added collection as another image of person.

I was wondering like for every face in each image create something like unique face id. Create a indexed database of those hashes. For new image calculate face's hash and then look up in database with probabilistic matching. (90% match, 80% match, etc)

I know you can train ML model with 100s of one person images and then it can recognize it, but SUPPOSE an app I want to build will not have 100s of images of every person. Human can easily tell that yes these two people are the same or not with just 1 image.
Mines is just literally a list of techs categorised by bulletpoints under a job without any context. It doesn't look terrible, but it was hardly really well designed.

The basis that the HR drone/recruiter (wonderful people or not) is only actually interested or capable of matching buzzwords (when hiring engineers, specifically, but possibly in any field) and thus will pass the resume based on meeting a Ctrl F hit percentage critera.

Once the actual hiring manager get the CV, they ask for the context and we discuss it. This largely gives me a reason to talk and thus make people like me, I feel less awkward because I'm not regurgitating my CV, and the hiring person is less bored because they haven't read this. This seems to give them enough context to move to the hiring stage, few ask me any technical questions at this point.

I'm a contractor in London with a very high success rate in landing gigs. Your mileage may vary, but try to think about the people who read your CV.

> They're busy and have a lot of CVs, thus they want to skim for relevance.

> They want 1-2 pages, they're not going to look past this.

> If they ask you about a tech on your CV and you don't stand up to scrutiny, they'll feel you're dishonest and you've wasted their time.

A little bit of empathy goes a long way.
It is not that big of a deal, although there was extra work required.

You need to remember that Doom had a software renderer only. It only needed to be able to write to a color framebuffer for display. It also needed access to a keyboard, and sound. As long as you do it properly and carefully (and this is John Carmack we are talking about), it is not too difficult to abstract. You need to be careful not to paint yourself into a corner (endianness, pointer sizes, properly isolating platform-specific code, etc). That way you can develop most of the game without even touching the target hardware.

Doom did have what would be nowadays called an "engine", only it was designed for that particular game. Id Software was probably one of the first (if not the first) company to sell a generic "3d Engine". In any case, the abstractions were there.

They probably could not do the entire development using the NeXT workstations. At some point they would need real PCs to finish the port, and check how it worked on the target hardware. That was even more of an issue back then: although the C code could be cross-compiled (to solve the different CPU architecture problem), they did have lots of assembly code for performance.

Nowadays, we are spoiled. iOS developers do exactly the same thing day to day as they did, only they don't even notice for the most part. Click a button on their Macbooks (which run amd64 arch), code get cross-compiled to ARM and linked with ARM-specific libraries. Android developers do the same, and they even have a fully emulated environment.

> (e.g. messaging apps like Facebook Messenger where you want notifications to come up similar to text messages)

Actually I'd argue the web is great for that too. On Android you can already implement a messaging app, complete with notifications, on the web.

I wish people like my bank used it. I don't want to install their native app because I barely ever use it, but would I like to get urgent notifications from them every now and then? You bet I would.

I was not aware. Never even heard the term until now. At first read, I thought this might have been in some way related to, or an offshoot of, MTGOW. However, based on reports of actual, extremely serious violence and being so bad they are booted from Reddit, I imagine they are not related at all.

Wait, are we talking about Steven Jobs or Elon Musk? Because, lets be honest here, they're both cut from the same cloth. And yet, the tech crowd reveres Musk but is pretty split on Jobs.

I don't think technology for the sake of technology is a good reason to build it.

Advancing technology is interesting to work on, but deploying it in useful ways to solve problems is the part nobody wants or knows how to do. There's more to be done with what we have now.
It is writing it on paper which is the issue. I would struggle a lot less when writing it on the computer (without autocomplete or anything related).

How do I know? because when I make my practical (school) assignments (which I do in Sublime Text without autocomplete) I complete the assignments within no-time. This is, somehow, not the case when doing it on paper.

It's not just this thread. HN is absolutely obsessed with nitpicking titles and yes, it's distracting and detracts from actual discussion of the topics.

The moderation team here tacitly encourages it by catering to it. I've seen some threads go through 2 or 3 title changes as people find something new to complain about.

Really it's almost a form of editorializing in itself - the title of the article is what it is, people here just think they know better than the author.

I asked for a mug at my local suburban Starbucks and got a blank look in return for a few seconds while the request registered. Finally they found one on a shelf out of reach of all but the tallest staff member. There were 3-4 on that shelf and I've never seen anyone else ask for or use one despite the place being filled with seated customers at most hours. I also was unable despite 15 minutes of searching to select a mug on their online ordering app on iOS.

Think of the ecological impact if Starbucks just asked patrons whether they would like a to-go cup or mug when they order inside.

> What's with the U.S.'s obsession with efficiency?

The US has no interest in efficiency, you're mistaking us for Germans. The US has always had an economy based in a combination of slavery, the exploitation of immigrants, the exploitation of the badly educated, and the exploitation of impoverished foreigners through cruel middlemen. As a country that started with slavery, and rolled into the industrial revolution right when slavery was dissolving, it has always expected an input for lightly-skilled physical labor of humans who have no civil rights and can be paid then minimum that it takes to keep them alive.

America doesn't consider a person fully human who isn't at least in management, or doesn't hold a position that requires a university education. The degree of humanity is directly related to the number of people managed, or the cost of the education.
That ship has sailed the moment they decided to name themselves "incel", as opposed to "involuntarily celibate". Orwell explained the effect nicely in "The Principles of Newspeak":

It was perceived that in thus abbreviating a name one narrowed and subtly altered its meaning, by cutting out most of the associations that would otherwise cling to it. The words Communist International, for instance, call up a composite picture of universal human brotherhood, red flags, barricades, Karl Marx, and the Paris Commune. The word Comintern, on the other hand, suggests merely a tightly-knit organization and a well-defined body of doctrine. It refers to something almost as easily recognized, and as limited in purpose, as a chair or a table. Comintern is a word that can be uttered almost without taking thought, whereas Communist International is a phrase over which one is obliged to linger at least momentarily.

I've been training BJJ for just over 8 years (Brown belt) and I've only hurt my knee once... wrestling, and I train at an academy that has a strong emphasis on leg locks. The best way to avoid injuries, regardless of if they are to your knees or other, if to learn when to tap. Take the time to go slowly, and take care not to go too hard.

Most of the injuries from BJJ happen when you're stubborn about tapping, or when people go too hard on a move they don't understand. BJJ is a long journey, so you want to train with injury prevention in mind. Hope that helps.

I'm above 30 and oh man, I am wasting my life on Reddit/Youtube.

It depends what you're into. Are you into music? Youtube has all the music (you type "youtube<TAB>daft punk<ENTER>" and you're there... and you can put it on repeat using $TRICK if you desire). Are you into music-playing or fitness or anything? There are thousands of guitar/piano instruction videos, and countless fitness videos (on how to have correct form when you're lifting), and after you watch a couple you sort of... just keep watching. There are a number of "fitness personalities" and at some point it becomes something of a series show, that you want to watch each new video that they put up every other day.

It's really bad. I want it to stop, but I have poor self-control. Following r/politics, following the Trump trainwreck will add zero positive value to my life, I'm aware that following news in this day and age is a pure waste of time: but I can't take my eyes off of this trainwreck, I wish I could stop because it's affecting my work and career.
