That's strange. You don't have any 'old reddit' options in the settings? I wonder how that came about... How young/old is your account?
Thanks. Stuck in a little bit of a rut as there seems to be more interest on the enterprise side than lower down the market. They’ve been our best indication of viability so far. SMEs haven’t really responded as much.
BGA with a sane pitch size and not too many balls is feasible with a basic reflow setup if you have boundary scan and functional testing. The guy who created tinyFPGA did it-- https://theamphour.com/395-an-interview-with-luke-valenty/

By the time you got more than 1 BGA in the BOM however, it's time to seriously consider an assembly service.
Great answer, these are all things I wish were instilled in me when I was younger. I'm paying the price now having to learn them on my own and to say the least it's a very frustrating and bitter existence.

I'd also add try to really get good at math regardless of what you do in life. I think Math ability is one of the most useful skills to have in this day and age. Check out artofproblemsolving.com and get involved in the community.
Unless your health insurance is truly awful, or your local health system is unusually bad, you also probably have as good or better healthcare than you would in the EU.

The problem with US healthcare is the cost, not the quality. If you can afford it, you can get some of the best healthcare in the world here.
> This underlying misapprehension is at the root of the self-driving car hubris.

I will basically guarantee you that no one working on self-driving cars thinks human perception is lackluster or an easily matched capability. Journos interpreting their work might impute that belief to self-driving engineers, but nobody could work on the problem for even the shortest amount of time without realizing that it is an incredibly hard problem.

No, everything you mentioned says that LDL-C levels correlates with cardiovascular disease rather than causes.

Mutation in LDLR gene is a cause. LDL-C level is a correlate. The mutation may or may not have additional repercussions other than just higher level of LDL-C. Like with many metabolic issues - the problem sometimes truly is the high level of (toxic) product, sometimes overload of the compensatory mechanism (competitive inhibition etc.), sometimes the product is innocent but the mutation has other effects.

PCSK9 inhibitors... I would be very careful. These might be just as inconsistent as statins with equivocal evidence.
For now, Cochrane agrees. (Cochrane cancelled 2018 rereview of statins due to methodology update, the 2013 one is somewhat suspect. Later fluvastatin review shows it's not potent enough etc. But this is all tangential.)

At least they will shine more light on the LDL-C hypothesis than statins which have more complex effects.
They are still not sensitive enough to rule out other mechanisms. The drugs only recently exited phase III trials.

To accurately conclude LDL-C causes cardiovascular disease you will have to figure out a way to increase LDL-C in absence of other relevant factors. Or perhaps strongly control for those factors. This is actually hard.
(among them: obesity, smoking, diet and excercise, gene variants)

This should be quite possible to verify in animal model by pumping them with relevant lipids regularly. Not entirely sure how to extend this to human trials, but a way can be found.

If you have such results, I'd like to read them.

First, I'm not sure this is the case here, but people often confuse finite state machines with state machines (which potentially have an infinite state space).

Second, the translation from a programming language to a state-machine formalization (i.e., with an initial state set and a next-state relation) is not only relatively simple, but the result is often very succinct and clear, as those who use TLA+ can testify. It is true that very few people, comparatively speaking, use mathematical formalization of any kind, but among those who do, the state-machine formalization is the most popular by a wide margin.
I agree wholeheartedly with you; like you I'm a proud suburbanite who can't tolerate cities, noise, and people, and to that I'll add one thing...

> Amazingly, non white people feel this way too...

On this note, almost the entire Asian population of the Dallas area lives in the suburbs, and those who can afford it are starting to move to the exurbs. Only people without the means to leave are staying in the city because the city sucks.
Still, noise is a major factor. Just take the mayor's comments from the article and the opening sentence:

> In Pontevedra, the usual soundtrack of a Spanish city has been replaced by the tweeting of birds and the chatter of humans

> “Listen,” says the mayor, opening the windows of his office. From the street below rises the sound of human voices.

Noise is the #1 problem with cars. Walkability and space issues via parking are #2.
If we can reduce the incidence of accidents with autonomous vehicles, they can be much much smaller...
I cannot relate to what you write at all. In all my years in school, I did not witness a single day of attendance drop due to weather (the only weather-related exception was for the early years of elementary school, when you could choose not to go outside during breaks if the temperature was low enough, but that was rarely the case here near the coast).

What's more, in bad weather people (who have the option to choose between public transportation and their own vehicles) tend to choose cars more often because public transit has a habit of becoming increasingly unreliable, especially due to winter conditions, even though such conditions can be reasonably expected for 6 months a year.

Could be a number of reasons:

1) Bad stuff sneaks in everywhere if you get lucky with two reviewers and an editor asleep at the wheel. Even good journals. Not usually this bad, though.

2) This isn't a particularly good journal and isn't a cardiovascular journal, so they probably got two reviewers who are not knowledgeable about the field.

3) It might also have been an invited paper. These medoum-low journals often solicit reviews, and it's pretty rare to reject a paper that you've solicited.

Car centric life is not better for the elderly and the disabled, quite the opposite.

Elderly and disabled people are often can't safely drive due to either physical limitations (eyesight, reaction time, arthritis, seizures, limited movements, dizziness and fainting, etc., etc., etc.) or practical limitations (a car that accommodates a driver in a wheelchair with hand controls is a specialty item that costs $90,000+, I'm not making that number up, there was an article about it on HN a bit ago). Even if and individual has a ride it can be difficult to transport a motorized scooter in a standard sedan or compact car: going to the park with the grandkids is out without a folding wheelchair, which, depending on the individual's limitations, can make that person dependent on someone else to push them around.

Whereas electric scooters and wheelchairs can navigate easily and independently in pedestrian friendly zones when designed with accommodation in mind. And accommodation is now the law.

Also women and married people don't exactly, by definition, prefer driving over walking, dunno where you're getting that from. In fact, women drive less than men on average.
Until I see self-driving cars driving in a Montreal blizzard aftermath navigating the various streets, they can't handle snow.
You're presuppose individual ownership of self driving cars. Ride hailing replacing those seems like a very likely outcome of self driving tech and won't have your issue thanks to "destination outside service area".

Actually, even with private ownership i'd not be surprised we'd end with region locked software, even if just for business reasons.
If I'm reading this correctly, what you just described is what I'd call a product manager (and a fairly senior one at that). Generally a completely different role and position/title than personnel and/or project management.

Within my current org, I know a few people who have transitioned from technical roles into product management roles, usually mid- or late-career. But, we have a dedicated PM group, so it's just a matter of chatting with them and waiting for a position to open that's a match.

the paper is from 14 years ago... is this approach widely used within the Haskell community?

the wiki describes it as "the cleanest solution, but very advanced and a little restrictive" which sounds kind of scary

the motivation given in the paper is for database programming... it seems like if this was a winning approach there would be popular db/orm libraries using this by now - are there any?

I think you missed some context. They're talking about the differences between sticking with summer time vs sticking with winter time but moving things by an hour (so a 9-5 job would be 8-4). In both cases things would happen at the same solar time.

Basically the convo was:

A: People want to change their clocks to summer time instead of changing their personal schedule

B: They don't want to change their personal time but rather society's time

A: They could just change society's schedule, it's just as easy.

C: Nah, you'd have to change a lot of things, signs, timetables, etc...

Not the original commenter but I rarely sign up for things just to try out a product unless I'm already sure it's going to solve my problem.

I don't know how they're going to use my email. Are they going to send me useless emails in the future even if I decide that I'm not interested in the product? Are they going to make me confirm my email instead of letting me right in to try it? If I don't like the product can I delete my account or do I just have to forget about it?

I like when I can try out a product with as little friction as possible. To be completely honest when this happens it can sway my decision to use the product.

Not really true this one :-)

The last 10 years there are no longer rains, and the sun is here from late May to October, last year we have big wildfires in the last weekend of October, water restrictions from Sept due to the drought.

I remember when I was 10 years old rain a lot, nowadays no more than London ( I lived in London for a year).

The healthcare argument isn't really that compelling, because most white-collar professionals in the USA have pretty good health insurance through their work. The extra time off is excellent, but you can put a dollar value on it and it doesn't come close to adding up to the paycut. You also pay higher taxes, and the cost for other goods and services (food for example) is often higher.

Disposable income for a senior developer in a major market in the US is likely to be much higher than their counterpart in the EU.

There may be other harder-to-measure cultural or quality-of-life reasons that make the tradeoff worth it, but I don't think "free healthcare" and a few weeks off comes close to making the case quantitatively.
Yes, it was cycled back through and filtered (through sand and plastic I believe) before being re-pumped back into the system from a retaining pond, then supplemented by a ground water pump to account for evaporation or other loss. Oxygen was pumped in separately from liquid oxygen tanks.

Disclaimer in case there are any more questions... this is about as far as my knowledge goes on this. lol I'm sure it was much more complicated than what I understand.

“Within FFM, skeletal muscle (-5%)”

"Thirty-two nonobese men underwent sequential overfeeding (1 wk at +50% of energy needs), CR (3 wk at -50% of energy needs), and refeeding (2 wk at +50% of energy needs). AT and its determinants were measured together with body composition as assessed with the use of quantitative magnetic resonance, whole-body MRI, isotope dilution, and nitrogen and fluid balances." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/26399868/

So, over 6 weeks they had zero calorie deficit but even 3 weeks of starvation result cost them 5% of their skeletal muscles lower metabolic rate, and presumably increased fat. Note: Interment fasting has nothing to do with this, it takes the body several days respond to starvation a few hours don't matter as long as net calories over 2-3 days are maintained.

PS: What studies? I see a linked to an article about people over estimates of mussels energy requirements not a counter argument. You’re demonstrably wrong from both experiment and basic biochemistry.

While that might be true in general, I don't think it's the case with reddit. Most apps offer significant advantages over any browser-based approach. It's possible that a browser-based reddit client could offer many of the same features, but so far, AFAIK, that's not the case.

For HN I use a web app, and it's good enough, but sometimes I wish I had a client that offered as many features as the reddit apps I use.
It simply locates the article as being anchored in the philosophy of science championed by Popper. I should hope any meta-critique would be similarly rooted.

Berlin built a very expensive tunnel in the city center, still expands the inner Autobahn ring, has large east/west streets (Stalinallee and 17th June), parking was free in residential areas until very recently, tickets for parking in the wrong spots are a joke and cars parking on sidewalks or bicycle lanes are pracically never ticketed. Bicycle police which was introduced to ticket cars and bicycles practically in the same way never tickets car drivers [1]

Compare this with the pedestrian infrastructure (many bad sidewalks in the East) or bicycle with no or chaotic lanes [2]. Also when houses are build or roads are maintained, car driver concerns are always prioritized above cyclists and pedestrians [3].

I know where Pontevedra is....because I looked at the Wiki article and read all the climate data before I posted. ^_^

And where I live on a tropical island in Asia has 25% more rainfall (2000mm annually), annual daily mean temp is 9deg Celsius higher (with 29deg C average highs June - September), and 25% fewer hours of sunshine.

So yeah, Pontevedra's climate may not technically be Mediterranean by Koppen classification but it sure as Hell is "mild" compared to where I live.
>Actually Jobs may very well have called Bezos in the moment.

Sure, though the article literally says that Jobs "called up Amazon", not Bezos.

Besides the (hopefully) quick laugh, what I was trying to say was that the private/direct phone number of Jeff Bezos is unlikely to have been on a public directory and that the (untold) before is that the two already knew each other personally and had most probably already done business together, the telephone call is only a tiny part of how the deal matured.

There are a lot of these articles that somehow push the concept that some people (geniuses/leaders/etc.) made quick decisions/deals/whatever game changing innovations on the spur of the moment and were successful at that only because of serendipity or intuition.

While this may happen, I doubt that - even if the initial sparkle came "by chance" and "suddenly" - the merit of the success of this or that deal is to be attributed to that moment alone (as opposed to the before and the after).

The Las Vegas Strip is the antithesis of this. It's probably the only place in the world where the main downtown area is also an 8 lane highway. It's so bad that you actually cannot cross the street there, and you have to get around by walking on raised walkways above the street. Uniquely terrible urban planning.

I'm a mathematician and I have done programming professionally but it just doesn’t interest me. My training in pure math got me focused on showing something can be done or that a solution exists. When I think of a software project I think of course it can be done and lose interest.

There are a zillion things that can go wrong in software development and problems arise that require creative solutions. That’s the engineering part I suppose. But I have no interest in it. I’m stuck being a teacher at a community college. It’d be great if my job, in its current form, could be found in Germany or Switzerland but I’m stuck where I’m at.

My wife is a physician and she’s not doing residency over again just to live in Europe.
Lamport doesn't talk about programming with state machines. He talks about coming up with a mathematical model of computation that can be both simple and with wide applicability (applies to both sequential, interactive and concurrent programs).

In such a model, state transitions can be as small or as large as you choose (e.g. sorting an array could be a single state change or multiple ones, depending on your chosen level of abstraction). Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions (which forms the core, or at least the most interesting part of TLA+) has the very mathematical notion of abstraction as a first-class construct, i.e., A => B iff B is an abstraction of A (where => is the logical implication operator, which in TLA also means "refines" or "implements", i.e., the converse of abstraction).
I believe the poster was making a joke :P
I built a SaaS company, offering marketplace infrastructure to people who wanted to start online marketplace businesses.

Turns out, although tackling the technical side of building a marketplace is not that easy, it is perfectly doable. The real challenge is getting people to use such marketplaces. It takes a lot of non-technical effort to build a marketplace. There's the obvious chicken-egg problem for most marketplaces. It is solvable, but usually requires a lot of capital to attract a lot of people, or the founder should have some sort of secret (being already established as an offline commissioner in a market, having the right connections, having a following and so on) so it is not easy to compete with them.

2 things I learned irrelevant to the business are these:

1) Looking back, I've made some serious mistakes, but I had no idea that these were mistakes at the time. Therefore, I must be making all kinds of mistakes today, which will only become apparent in the future, and that is actually a bit worrisome.

2) Prior to this, I've not experienced 'being a failure' in any sort of activity so strong, and it is not a good feeling.
