Not sure about that but it is well known that some placebos work better than others. e.g. placebo injections have a stronger "effect" than placebo pills.[0]

So it would seem that the presentation of medical advice would have an effect on that.

Ask HN: What is the most efficient way of learning from online course/tutorial?
Hi!

Do you have any efficient learning techniques that's best applicable with online courses and tutorials you wanna share?

I want to use it in learning front-end web development through Lynda's (LinkedIn Learning) courses because I have a 3-month worth of premium subscription that I wanna maximize.

Like, do you follow along with the author? or do you take notes first and replicate what was done by the author? and etc...

Thanks!

None of the accounts have posted or done any activity since. This is circa 4 months.

Totaly agree. Also sometimes headlines used to link to articles are way better than the whole article itself.

True, but the last part of the graph shows what I think is fairly normal braking from 24mph to 0.

Counting pixels, the distance covered from 10mph to zero is about 350 feet. With this distance for a lightly loaded passenger train, 1000 feet doesn't seem impossible or even unreasonable for a heavy freight train at 5mph.
That's what Firefox' awesome searchbar does. There I just input "jira $projectname" and I get the correct URL. If this does not work, I simply bookmark the page and give it tags. Then entering the tags in the search bar gives the same result.
Colleagues get involved a lot, but it's often fraught/stigmatized--but not too much. Most Europeans I know feel similarly: it happens, but is a less-than-great idea for a lot of reasons, chief among them that if it goes badly you might still end up having to work closely with the person, or choose between them and the job.
> Can you have a DIV with a fixed aspect ratio fitted to the screen?

It's admittedly far from obvious, but that should be doable by determining the height of the DIV with the padding-top of a child element, and limiting the width with max-width limited to at max height * aspectratio, so it doesn't overflow the bottom if the page gets to wide. Not really anything fancy and new in there either.

EDIT: s/width/height, added half sentence explanation.
The quote at the bottom is from Desmond Tutu, who explicitly said that neutrality is a vote for the powerful/status quo. So if you were in Denmark, not caring that much could be treated as a pro-choice position, but in Texas it would be the other way around.

The article really isn't about the vice. The more interesting part of this conversation is, how do you know you can trust someone? The value of most agreements is not in their letter, but their spirit, and you need to know if you are dealing with someone who will honor the spirit of an agreement.

Probably the most meaningful aspect of this article, "But the purpose of these visits isn’t a good time. It’s to cement business and personal ties, binding men together through the power of taboo and mutual self-exposure, or at least the pretense of it. It lets them judge that the others involved in a potential deal are men of the same stripe."

And one paragraph down, " As one saying that went rapidly around the Chinese Internet in 2011 put it, “It’s better to do one bad thing with your boss than a hundred good things for your boss. Over time, this can extend to an actual exchange of what criminologist Diego Gambetta in his pioneering Codes of the Underworld calls “hostage-information,” mutual knowledge of each party’s sins that acts as a powerful guarantee neither will break their agreements."

And, "But vice serves as a kind of screen, weeding out the rare few who might have moral qualms about future dealings. It tells both sides that they’re playing by the same rules."

It's not just vice. There is an aspect of these transgression trust rituals in pretty much every organization I have seen.

What I read in this article is that vice is collateral in a relationship, where if there is no collateral, there is no basis on which to trust someone.
When humans start journeying outside low earth orbit again, it can be like this. Long and dangerous trips.

Watching the animated demo on the home page, this looks a lot like how I use Vimium (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/vimium/dbepggeogba...) to handle bookmarks - give them memorable names, then press 'b' and type until you see the one you want, and press Enter.

Does this offer more that I'm missing? Or is the target market not the kinds of people who would use something like Vimium?

At least TX doesn’t have state income tax. Northeast gets you with state income tax, state sales tax, property taxes, myriad hotel taxes, road tolls, vehicle registration fees, drivers license fees, court fees, etc. and everything keeps increasing every year as he unfunded defined benefit, healthcare benefit, and infrastructure debt comes due.
This looks nice. I've asked myself, what advantage this tool has over using simple bookmarks with keywords. If I understand this correctly, the answer is about being able to share the bookmarks with your team (and across browsers). I would make this point much more prominent.

Here's a shameless plug for my tool StaticMarks [0], as I try to solve a similar problem, but for a different audience (mostly developers). The "marketing" page explaining exactly what the tool does is still a work in progress, though.

It’s incredible the lengths intelligent, experienced developers will go to, to avoid learning iOS or Android development. It’s a small bump to overcome to unshackle your project from an ever changing comfort blanket between yourselves and the platforms, that inevitably lags behind and is ultimately a comfort blanket that’s future is always in the hands of a third party. If your developing iOS and android apps in JS, then you’re smart enough to get stuck into Xcode/Swift and Android/Java, and you’ll probably never look back. Sounds like most RN devs find themselves in the trenches often enought as it is.
> "...interact via email with the poor souls trapped in the endless, no-agenda meeting that is Slack."

Most of us agree that email __as a collaboration tool__ sucks.

Slack has its (growing?) contingency of haters and dismissers.

But there's so something common to both:

- Us
- Work

Perhaps it's time to come to terms with the fact that while work has its place - in the context of modern culture / society - we humans just aren't wired for such work.

Tool after tool tries to solve "the problem" but time and again they "fail." As if the sky being blue is a failure.
Well he could have been more careful :)
Do these use a SIM card? Thought they were satellite. That's what the first thing I googled seemed to agree with too ( https://www.yachtingworld.com/features/epirbs-plbs-and-man-o... ).

"Some legal experts, like Ryan Rodenberg, an associate professor of sports law at Florida State University, believe that, as with musical recordings and other copyrighted material, courts will find that real-time sports data is owned by those who produce it: the leagues and their players.

Others dismiss that view. Marc Edelman, a professor of law at Baruch College, said he believed that only "pre-scripted" events were subject to copyright — meaning that while professional wrestling performances might qualify, football, basketball and other true competitions would not."
I have always wanted to create a Slack alternative that is built upon email. Everything happens on emails (and hidden headers), standards-compliant since day 1 and low barrier to use.
> was dereferenced earlier

The example I should have given was "is dereferenced LATER". Because only in this setting the optimization actually has an effect on most platforms (where dereferencing NULL segfaults).
Is there output size fixed? Because in that case, if I feed it an array of inputs larger than the output size, it'll logically have to throw a collision. At that point, how is it better than a hash function?

Forgive the naivety of my question. I'm self-taught.
You're typically depending on disk access for your operating system to function and using swap-like mechanisms for most running executables (memory-mapped files can have pages loaded on demand and dropped), so your point is moot.
I like the technical aspects. However:
220 watts idle power consumption? What a waste of resources.

In practice using a Wifi-router with 4G fallback would achieve similar availability at a fraction of the cost and power consumption.

I think Xamarin really stays up-to-date with the newest features for iOS. At least that was true back when I wrote some apps with it, a few years ago.

I believe they have some automated tooling to update the APIs when Apple releases newer versions of the iOS SDK, so usually new features arrive on the same day in Xamarin iOS SDK as they do in Apple's iOS SDK.

I am not sure if the situation is the same for Xamarin and Android.

I wouldn't really hesitate to use Xamarin again in the future if a client requested it, but I haven't tried React Native yet and not sure if I should dedicate time for it or if it'll be gone in a few years. Seems quite a few mobile jobs require React Native experience these days.

HN is a fairly rare exception among news-commenting forums, in having a reasonable level of polite and intelligent discussion. Perhaps the Economist's forums were another such exception, I don't know. But I know that most newspapers' online comments sections are cesspools. I earnestly wish that ft.com, for example, would just eliminate its comment section. Every time I make the mistake of scrolling past the end of an ft article and into the comments, I regret it. Thoughtful articles are regularly followed by mindless dismissals from arrogant users. Questioning of the editorial stance is only valuable if it's done with a bit of intelligence.

Maybe the newspapers should decide to either "go big or go home" with their comments section. Either work hard to establish a HN-like community, with a working community moderation system and meaningful reply nesting, or abolish the comments section. I think abolishing comments is better than trying to have a comments section "on the cheap" which gets filled with low-quality content.

> The truth is that America is a paradise of social justice.

If you're white.

Like, I get that racism specifically is way more prevalent other places. But it's pretty fucking bad in the US, especially for certain ethnicities. Not a "paradise" by any means.

There are some aspects of the social justice advocacy in recent years that may have gone a bit far, but your statement was pretty hyperbolic, and sounds a bit like the proverb where the man without limbs tells the man without legs "you have nothing to complain about! Nothing at all!".

Not all negative actions have positive replacements.

* Please don't lick your knife.

* Please stop asking for X as I've already told you we can't afford it (I sometimes do offer to help them find a job though, or suggest an entrepreneurial idea; depends if it's a short term demand or a long-term or capital item.)

You could create a dummy action (distraction/redirection), which I see often -- it seems needlessly passive to me.

One could say "please take care with your knife" but that assumes the child knows what "care" means which is often a bad assumption with a child. One could also give the child a rubbish knife to remove the risk (I'd rather they have usable tools).

With commands like "don't run" by using the more passive "please walk" one is limiting unnecessarily. "Please skip, or jog, or walk, crawl, roll, sidle, shuffle, hop, shimmy, or ..." sometimes it's better to be direct (but maybe not always).

FWIW, you're getting your psych terminology mixed up AFAICT: "Please walk!" is a negative reinforcement, it's an admonishment to increase an action. "Thank you for walking" would be a positive reinforcement (only if they're already walking). In contrast "Don't run!" is a positive punishment, an admonishment to reduce an action. For completeness, a negative punishment would be taking away something to reduce an activity, maybe stopping smiling at a child when they misbehave.

I do agree it's good to reinforce desirable behaviour. One of the things that's difficult about being poor is finding no-cost pleasant stimulii for reinforcement. One can easily use food, which I think is possibly one of the factors in the obesity crisis.
Yes, it seems like quite a departure from what copyright has been applied to so far ... I wonder what unforeseen and far-reaching consequences could emerge from pivoting the whole canon of copyright law to ringfence the value in such a niche area.
Compare Twitter with Mastodon Social. Twitter employs 3000 people and it's a hugely complex piece of software. Meanwhile, Mastodon is mostly built by a single guy, and a small volunteer community.

Majority of that complexity is not there to make user experience better. I actively use both platforms, and I find that Mastodon provides a better user experience in pretty much every way. The UI is snappier, it has better features for interacting with others, it doesn't restrict the API, and so on.

The main cost of Twitter comes from building tools to monetize and exploit the users of the platform.
> perversions that it's still acceptable to demonize, namely pedophilia.

The wording here implies that we shouldn't be demonizing things like pedophilia, or that somehow, we needed Puritanism to realize that we ought to be demonizing pedophilia, or that this is purely a western construct. Puritanism has just lead westerners to demonize sexuality in general.

For westerners, lolicon is no different than child pornography. And lolicon is still controversial even within Japan.

Some day in the future, traveling to Mars will be routine and people would barely think on those that made it possible.

How much people think about the incredible thing it is we could travel to the other side of the planet on a single day?

Hacking the network effect through decentralization
>> Employees want to work 5-10 years max and end up with millions to retire peacefully while working in an intense environment which serves as the story of their accomplishment for the lifetime.

Nopes, founders want millions by (ideally) using technology to disrupt a market and gaining from the windfall.

VC want millions/billions by betting money on such founders.

They both agree to buy talent by promising employees a share of the windfall.

Employees don't start out thinking "hey I want millions, let me join this unknown company".

They usually start out "I need a good, well paying job where I do interesting work."

The militarization of police is largely a U.S. problem among first world countries. As a practical matter I'm more concerned about things like investigations with poor judicial oversight, poorly justified police searches, warrantless or rubber stamped surveillance, frivolous information requests, general lack of respect for privacy rights, etc.

France, for instance, unfortunately seems to have moved quite a bit in that direction after the terrorist attacks of recent years. I've not heard of a similar trend in Germany, but it's always nice to hear an informed perspective from people who actually live there.
