>>> as if you've got some sort of authority

If I had the authority to change the title, I would have done it. As it is, I only claim the "authority" to point out that the submitted title should be changed in accordance with the guidelines; something that others often do as well.

> a bizarre and unconventional reading of the rules.

The rule as quoted is "[...] please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize". I read that as an actual rule ("use the original title") with a qualification (the clickbait part) and an additional statement about editorializing that only reinforces the rule. We can drop that last part if you like. In that case, the rule is (still) "use the original title". How am I reading this in a bizarre and unconventional way?

> Folks who can read Rust will have extra reason to check out a worthy project, and perhaps look at how it works.

Yes. And if OP had added the bit about category theory, then folks interested in category theory would have extra reason to check Pijul out. If OP had added that Pijul is on a Darcs-like concept of an algebra of patches, folks interested in Darcs would have extra reason to check it out, etc.

Picking and choosing what additional -- even factual -- info to add or not to add to the original title is edito^H^H^H^Hexactly what the guidelines say that a submitter should not do.

> The Pijul folks make no secret of their use of Rust, and they're happy to talk about why they chosen it and why they like it.

A page about that would make a great HN submission. The page submitted here is not that page; as I pointed out, it never mentions Rust anywhere.

Right? When reading such comments I sometimes replace “sleep” with “eating” or “drinking”. It’s insane. If my basic physiological needs aren’t met I’m miserable and unable to enjoy the pleasures of life.

I know someone mentioned their app as a competitor in your other thread, but I’m not sure if anyone pointed it that they also have an API: https://darksky.net/dev

They combine multiple sources of data. Even if you don’t want to use their API, I’ve found their list of sources handy for European data (though finding what you need in Europe is still confusing as heck).
I don't know really.

They wanted to leave and then got harrassed.

My uncle got into prison with 18 because of their wish to leave. The government did try many things to silence them.

Then, one night, government said they should pack what they can carry and leave.
Buddhism and star wars
Buddhism and star wars
Tibetan Buddhism highly influences the concept of a trilogy in the film The Star Wars. The order of Jedi is similar to the traditions of the Buddhist monastic in the way they emphasize meditation and the relationships between acolyte and master. Yoda’s famous saying also mirror the Four Noble Truth in which, “Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate and hate leads to suffering.” This concept is clearly depicted in Darth Vader's path. He is a Knight Jedi who has great power, but he turned to evil in wanting to have the greater control. Vader also aims to find power outside his abilities while Skywalker wants to find the Force within himself. This goal gives him the strength of resisting cajoles of the emperor to join him in the dark side by returning to Jedi (Be Thinking, 2014).
The plot about Phantom Menace immediately comes after the quest of Queen Amidala to regain her throne which reminds us of the analogy of Dalai Lama’s life. Even her name Padme is derived from the name Lotus which is a Sanskrit name that means a symbol of enlightenment.
The movie “Her” is also another film that portrays the Buddhist themes. The film’s premises faintly do sound comic; it starts with the narration that shortly Los Angeles, a man fall in love with the operating system of his computer.

Mobile is all about Safari and Chrome in what concerns Request For Proposals and delivery acceptance testing.

So real world customers don't care about anything else. If it happens to work, or a team member decides to go at it on their own outside project budget, it is a nice to have feature that's it.
"Why don't we have threads like in Slack for more business oriented stuffs?"

Because Discord's not for business oriented stuff? It's IRC. Two paths diverged in a yellow wood; Slack went corporate and Discord went for entertainment.

SPIN selling is good for technical products that needs lots of explaining.

Challenger sales is advanced and tough to master but the ideal target just from statistics-those who challenge the prospect with a market insight. Craziest thing I learned was you introduce your product at the last slide! You really get into the prospects world and then challenge the old way of things...thats all i can remember....also marijuana is legal in Canada today so its kicking in so im in the writing mood.

I'd love to write a bit about my experience as a sales engineer and also selling SaaS tool ($99~999) over thet phone if anybody is interested...basically I went from being a coder to hustling.

I just had to come back to this comment after testing in a couple of browsers, focusing on Safari and Chrome.
Going to https://www.reddit.com/r/whatisthisthing/comments/9oz5sa/wha... and scrolling is OK in Safari but actually pretty laggy compared to old mode. It's definitely not how a modern web site should perform. Testing with Chrome, it was fast in the beginning, but if you scroll up and down for about 15-20 seconds, CPU load goes up and my laptops fan start spinning.

So no, I do not believe reddit's new design is "performant" at all.

One has to wonder - if Reddit's engineers can't get React right (I'm sure they hire smart people), is it really not a problem with React in the end?
And if early death doesn't scare you enough, he also mentioned that you're measurably less attractive when you haven't had enough sleep. I recall the study was based on having people rate the attractiveness of participants, in some pictures they had slept well, in some they hadn't, and the attractiveness score of those who had recently slept poorly was lower.

>>> Some googling will show you white papers with estimates of ~4500 nanosats (30x10x10cm), but you can reduce the number of those by not rolling out usage worldwide and then scale up

I'm sorry, but it feels as if you're willfully ignoring a VERY important part of my comment. Yes, you need a large number. But you don't have to start at the 4.5k constellation estimate. I'm also not saying it is strictly cheaper, but I am saying there are some lucrative advantages to it. That's what I'm getting at. But I guess the responses I'm getting answer my original question.
Only if you believe in retaining all data in perpetuity. I suppose it demonstrates the difference in US and European perspectives on data.

Most of what you describe has little meaning or use at a few months old. Sure you might want to collect detailed awareness of individual drivers over say a month, generic traffic patterns over six months, and little or nothing beyond.

Once the data has outlived that direct, primary, purpose you dispose of it or it's a famous, excessive, data breach waiting to happen. There is absolutely nothing wrong with only keeping billing data beyond say six months max.
I love how their "stakeholder" list [1] doesn't include travelers. Just government and air travel industry. This speaks volumes to their mentality.

This seems amazingly useful and terrifying all at once. Working with actual values when debugging is game-changing, but the kind of access a system like this can unlock is frightening in the context of surveillance. That said, I often find myself as a user wanting that level of introspection, without a lot of special tooling.

What are some good options for tracking your sleep quality(deep sleep etc)?

Sleep clinic would be the most precise but personally I think it induces its own bias as we sleep best in our own beds. Hopefully we sleep in our own beds most of the time.

So what consumer choices are there?

Apple Watch is what I read in this thread but any other fitness trackers/phones with reasonable accuracy ?

I am very doubtful of just a phone app accuracy without some on body sensors.
You are reading it wrong, it is not me that mandates the browsers.

I have written already in multiple answers, it is the customers that decide which browsers should a given project support, by explicitly stating them on the project delivery contract.

So your customers care about EDGE, fine. Many don't.

You're right in the sense that ritualised, repeated behaviour performed for no obvious gain is something very unusual. Most animals don't waste energy on things that don't have a material impact on their life.

I'd disagree with your point about intelligence though. It's simply that we have more resources than we need. Even the stupidest animals would develop rituals if they could afford to.

Does Harvard Treat Asian-American Applicants Unfairly? The Case Goes to Trial
Privacy creates a 'safe space' for experimentation and self expression. Destroying it would lead to self censuring and have a chilling effect on personal development. When the only private space is inside your head your freedom (your options) are severely affected, normal life looks more and more like prison. A large, open prison, but still a prison.

That's what it felt like living under communism before 1989 in Eastern Europe when your neighbour, your teacher or your friend could be a state informer ratting you out.
This is absolutely a good idea. Whoever thought it would be advantageous for packages from China to cost less to ship than equivalent packages within the USA, is beyond me.

I hope there are positive economic and environmental results from this move.

What will be the unintended consequences I wonder?
How well pairing works also depends on a person's personality. Introverts don't really do well in pairing situations, and especially when paired with someone totally opposite, the pairing essentially becomes a single person coding and the other person just observing and nodding their heads.
Absolutely. The point I was making there is that imagine there was another perfect clone of our solar system that was identical in every single way and its timeline was 99.995% identical to ours. Intuitively you'd think that they'd probably be at, more or less, the same point in their development. But that 0.005% is the difference between between glorified monkeys and widespread civilizations launching objects and people into space. And if we add another 0.005% to where we are now, everything we know leads us to believe that the change will be even more extreme since our current technological trajectory remains on a very sharp exponential curve upwards with no reason to expect it to end. As an aside these numbers are also based on the age of the Earth. Looking at the age of the universe would probably be more reasonable and would lead to even more extreme results.
Ok, so input lag will be 2*your ping.
An input lag <40ms is barely perceivable and 40-80 is playable.

So, you'll need a ~20 ping, which is reasonable for a fast connection.
Skype:

- You cannot prevent anyone in a group chat from inviting anyone to a group chat. Routinely, people will add their full list of hundreds of contacts to group chats. This is awful.

- Anyone that's a member of a group chat can change the topic of the chat.

- No audit log of actions for group communication owners to look at.

- Awful role permission system for group chats.

- No separate community mechanism from group chats to messages in the same way that Discord separates servers from DMs.

- Skype has a poor history of account security. DDoSing from Skype's API was very prominent. Social engineering Skype to lock user accounts was also common.

- No guarantees of whether or not your messages on Skype will be synced across devices, or when they will disappear.

- Inferior bot ecosystem to that of Discord or Slack.

- Inferior notification system, can't listen to mentions alone.

- No channels in group chats.

- Enjoy being spammed by scam bots adding you in your private messages.

Skype is a terrible piece of software.

Edit: I'm not saying that what you claim didn't happen to you, but I've never heard of anyone with such terrible performance problems before. As far as RAM goes at least, Discord uses similar amounts to what Skype did for me.

Perhaps it's possible you were infected by some form of malware, I can't imagine not being able to run Discord and watch a YouTube video on any computer from the past half-decade.

> Whoever thought it would be advantageous for packages from China to cost less to ship than equivalent packages within the USA, is beyond me.

As a consumer I think it's advantageous. I'd much prefer to pay no shipping when compared to paying significant amounts for shipping, regardless of where the package originates.
I would rather there was more competition for Steam to be honest. Discord may hit a spot where the functionality required of the app pushes it into a territory where it becomes a resource hog and justifies a rewrite in C++ or C#, but we don't really have insight into why they ran with Electron to begin with. We should be considerate of that fact that not everyone can drum up a team of C++ engineers to create a suave product in a hurry and at the right price.

Basically my point is let's wait and see and give them the benefit of the doubt. From my perspective its an incredible piece of software, front end and back. It's stunning. We get 100% of the product for free, and those that pay get 105%.

Also it is still quite young. With time some of your issues will likely be ironed out, or it may turn into a mess.

I do agree with it feeling a bit cluttered now.
Not weighing in on if this is a good or bad thing overall, but I did listen to a pretty good NPR podcast a while back that explains a little more about this treaty and how it was affecting businesses in the US.

I loved pairing and I want to do it again. Now I work as a sales engineer and look at other peoples’ code all the time, but don’t write much myself.

My personality seems to be one that gets more energy from interaction with other people. I think they call that extroversion. I’d imagine that for folks like me, pairing is great.

It’s probably not that simple. But surely there are personalities that take well to it and those that don’t.
Legitimate means whatever I want it to mean - that's why I like it. In this case, I used it to mean something like "profitable, with a business model that doesn't depend on monopoly, selling a product that isn't smoke and mirrors."
Finally!!! Moves like this will help small and medium businesses compete...finally we won’t have to pay 25.00 to mail a small book to China.
I've never seen that in a guideline or heard a doctor recommend that, but I agree it's strange. But it makes sense to me if it's a case of "replace your endosperm-only pasta with whole-wheat pasta". It's not practical to tell someone with T2DM they can never eat pasta ever again.

It's far more important to look at the diet overall than to agonise over the occasional pasta meal.

Matters of Tolerance
> What will be the unintended consequences I wonder?

I don't know how unintended, but I would imagine that cost of imported goods will go up, since the costs are usually passed onto the consumer
We have the same issue in Switzerland with cheap packages from China which are received as mail but do not fit through the automated sorting system. This requires a lot of manual labor which increases the costs for the postal service.

This is why sometime this year people who receive such mail will be billed additional fees increasing slowly over the next few years.

The treaty allows under developed nations to ship at a much lower rate. China and a few others should simply be reclassified.

This does not require having to leave the treaty.

I think he's going to get replaced and forgotten in history. Most of the other princes are western educated and known Saudi has to modernize their economy which means women have to work and looking beyond oil.
I'm not sure if this will really make a dent in the price gap between Chinese and local goods, and if it doesn't, well, people will still pick the more affordable option. Manufacturing and labor costs are still significantly lower in China in comparison.

As the article states, there are also businesses who rely on these rates for their inventory or materials. Those businesses will also get impacted, and the extra cost will likely be passed down to consumers. Stuff on Amazon might not be so cheap anymore
I have seen people being asked to take off their boots at Toronto Pearson.
Along the same lines, this doesn't work if one person is used to working rapidly and the other person takes their time to think things through. I found it only really worked best when I worked with another who worked at a similar pace to mine and we took time to bounce ideas off of each other. We both learned a LOT from each other since we both had strengths in opposing areas

Blue team can't always keep hackers out of bank servers, how the hell are they going to keep hackers out of the software running on the hacker's own hardware? They have physical access!

Even if you turn the game client into a perfect dumb client that merely consumes video (ala game streaming services), in theory there are still opportunities to cheat - image recognition is an ongoing area of research into machine learning, no reason you couldn't apply that towards creating aimbots or other tools that replace player skill.

In practice, game clients are way more hackable than a dumb client for performance reasons. RTSes use lockstep networking models, reducing bandwidth but allowing map hacks. FPSes predict movement and render locally to reduce perceived latency, enabling the extraction of accurate 3D position information and replacing camouflage with blinking pink neon "shoot here" textures. Reducing server costs by using P2P networking models allows players to DoS each other instead of the game servers, and gives them more authority over the game state to tamper with. And that's just the tip of the iceberg of intentional design decisions - we haven't even gotten into actual bugs in the implementation yet.

You can do a cat and mouse game of detecting and banning and obfuscating and so on, but you're only going to stem the tide and contain the damage, not actually stop it any more than you're suddenly going to stop piracy. And even doing that involves spending a lot more resources than $40 and a couple of FTEs if your game is even remotely popular. And runs the risk of understandably pissing off your legitimate users if your game appears to be spying on them. And if you avoid that, it will still be more resources you can't spend on making new content, new games, QA, etc.
