Regarding making friends, I would like to share this paper with you: "The Experimental Generation of Interpersonal Closeness: A Procedure and Some Preliminary Findings" [0]

College for me was much better than High School.

High fever is not good. While I think you should be restrictive with medications. There's no need to suffer more then necessary. It's also a good idea to seek medical consulting.
Unless of course you don't care about the secondary issues that fevers can cause

Strong fevers should be controlled usually

Also don't forget about patient comfort (if it gets too high it feels awful)
Came here to say this.

Any tips on using Anki for remembering texts such as theory etc. (those not in question-answer format.)
Dan Abramov lists things that he knows at least a little bit.

He, obviously, does NOT list things that he does not know at all. (How can you describe something that you do not know?)
Not everything is about the USA ...
I don’t share your views. There are legitimate services we need tax payer money to fund. Tax loopholes for the super rich are a problem that should be solved, but in my opinion, that doesn’t mean we should just cancel taxation or turn a blind eye to tax evasion.

We should solve the problem with tax loopholes and enforce the system for all.

Mom and pop businesses or small business are very foundational to our economy. Even though individually they’re small, large scale tax evasion would be death by a thousand cuts.
An NSAID failing to help with a bacterial infection is not surprising
What would be good alternatives for php and drupal?
I didn't say that, I said it's a trade-off. Taking them reduces pain and the risk of certain complications, but increases the risk of other complications (side effects). According to https://www.consumerreports.org/prescription-drugs/too-many-..., "The amount of harm stemming from inappropriate prescription medication is staggering. Almost 1.3 million people went to U.S. emergency rooms due to adverse drug effects in 2014, and about 124,000 died from those events." So even if a medicine is side effect free when used as prescribed, there are still risks if it's accidentally misused, and painkillers are not side-effect free even when used as prescribed.

Thought effect: if you had the option to eliminate a kid's pain with an 0.01% chance of causing a lasting defect, would you do it? Not everybody would; different people have different time preferences.

Honest question. How would one write about a trend/subculture/community/etc without... writing about the sorts of people who comprise it and the community itself? As somebody who's always been into pens but never taken the plunge into fountain pens, I found this to be the most interesting part of the article.

Sure, it could have been a simple list of links about places where one can buy pens or whatever. But I already have Google and a Reddit account for that.

If I'm reading an article in the NYT or some other publication, the bare minimum I'd expect would be for them to for them to bring some things to the table that I can't get from thirty seconds of Googling or looking for the most popular relevant subreddit.
Yes, that's right we do have a large Lua (using LuaJIT) code base but we are moving away from it.
The tech industry has a reputation for being hard on older engineers, and I’m sure there is some of that, but I doubt it’s the problem it’s made out to be. Anectdote, I know, but the older engineers I know are doing fine, one gentleman pushing 70 recently came out of retirement to work on Ethereum.

The number of developers has roughly doubled every five years for about thirty years now. Even before you subtract programmers who moved into management or got out entirely, there’s just not going to be that many.

This is more for y’all youngsters who are afraid you’ll be put out to pasture when you turn $age-you-think-is-old. No reason to think it’ll happen, experience is useful, you’ll be fine.

Yes, you’ll find some ageist managers out there, who won’t hire you if you’ve been legally drinking for more than ten years. Good! You dodged a bullet there, such people invariably have other bad habits.
That's basically the conclusion of the article.
If there is no issue, it can be solved using blockchain.
why is it bad that it was mostly men?

Where did the article say/imply that?

I don't think it's a bad thing, and I don't feel the article said/implied that it was either.
Painkillers are not side effect free; if the pain is something minor, like a bruised knee or normal headache, it's not unreasonable to decide that experiencing the pain is a better choice than risking the side effects of a drug, which in uncommon cases can be much more severe and long term. It's not as clear cut as "helping" vs not helping, as unfortunately we don't yet have any side effect free painkillers.
That's kinda what I'm asking for. America really only has 911.
Money is a really handy system for dividing up resources amongst people who don't have time to track what all their peers are up to. But it doesn't magically call resources into being, we need some sort of link to the physical world to do that.

People use fossil fuels for everything - travel, access to goods that need to be transported, access to products that require electricity to fabricate (eg, aluminium). If less fossil fuels are used, then it seems highly likely there will be less stuff to distribute.

I'd be surprised if the very wealthy consume enough that they can be made to absorb the real burden, because most wealth is stored in things like paper investments or non-consumer goods.

If there are less goods and there isn't a target that can have their goods reallocated, then someone is going to have to do without and they will be furious. Giving them a "dividend" when there is nothing for them to buy is unlikely to help matters.
This kind of statement is designed to provoke introspection resulting in a "resolve to do better."

However, vast communities are not individuals. They don't have the capacity to "put two and two together." Whatever consciousness exists at that level can only express the most basic emanations from it's constituents.

The decision not to grow is a very sophisticated one. Even considering the question is something only a subset of individuals is capable of doing. It is akin to facing and accepting death. Taking that on board, can you imagine what kind of amazing culture we'd have to have for this to be expressed at the level of large groups? (segments of society, etc).
Credit repair specialist
My name is Jaime Everett. I was trying to buy a home suitable for I and my Kids, but I had some negative collections on my report and my score was below 450s and this was eating me up because I needed something to be done quickly so my kids can be okay in the new apartment. Things became too hard for me to bear, during my work day i overheard my colleague discussing with a friend about this credit specialist (DPROTOCOL) on how he helped saved her life. SO I joined the discussion and asked about his contact. I emailed him on ( DPROTOCOL7@GMAIL.COM ) he replied and asked me to text him on his direct Number +1 320 245 4036 after few discussions he promised to work and get back to me in 7 business Days, to my surprise the job was done in 6 days which I confirmed, deleting all the negative Collections on my report and an amazing high score 790s. My kids and I are leaving happily in our new Apartment, I’m grateful and indebted to him. I recommend him to anyone who needs his service and trust me he won’t disappoint you. Wish you the best, Happy new year
Yep, but if death was due to the combined effects of both bacterial infection and fever, we'd expect to see a reduction in mortality when fever was treated compared to when it was untreated, which the linked study didn't find.
You're not wrong, but those are still separate issues. In the context of benefit for the government itself, you'd certainly hope so…

Regardless of whether they get updated, these are still a net benefit for new installs.

Also there are Jinhao pens (and other chinese pens like Hero etc) from eBay for 1-2 dollars. I've bought a dozen I liked and have to say that although some of them were rather problematic (leaking ink, non smooth writing), most of them write really good and are very beautiful and looking much more expensive than their real price point.
Why would they get out of PHP?
Of that list, Notepad++ is the only product I use, so I'm happy with their decision :D
"...prescription medication..."
I also hated high school with passion. I loved it at the university though. That is also where I found the little circle of my closest friends - after 20 years we are still close. I am not sure there is any lesson to be learned for the original poster except maybe... do not over-think it. Things change quickly at that age and a year from now your life might be pleasantly different without doing anything special to achieve that (not that I am advising against mixing it up a little if you feel like it).
A Journey into the Solar System’s Outer Reaches, Seeking New Worlds to Explore
This is a very strange distribution of projects. There are projects like VLC, Filezilla, and 7-zip, next to often mission-critical pieces of software, like Kafka, Tomcat, and GlibC. I wonder what went into the decision process to include each of these libraries.

I also dislike the 'bug bounty platforms'. Why can't I simply report it upstream, and if accepted, claim my price? Each of the projects should have CVE protocols and procedures. The idea probably is to curb the zero-day vulnerability leaks, but I assume that if you're able to find a CVE, you're capable of finding a CVE procedure.

Overall, though, this is great of course.

I guess you are right, the Mediterranean diet is terrible: all people following it are dying.

It still seems to be one of the best available though.

I hope you are right and medicine becomes more of an exact science.
No tradeoffs? I don't think such a thing exists. Aspirin kills people every year. The only pain reliever I know of that has never killed anyone is cannabis. I don't think it does much for fever though?

For Widows there is Rightmark, maybe you could run the Macbook's output against a decent Windows DAW.

The community contributing in the PHP runtime and the community developing projects in PHP are two separate things. While the language itself has been evolving there are still a lot of bad quality PHP based projects and this has to do more with the low barrier of entry rather than PHP being a bad language on its own or the people contributing in it being bad developers. The last few years there's been a lot of good effort put in the language itself and it shows with the latest releases.
Billing definitely happens. And one procedure can trigger billing from multiple different providers. I had my appendix out a few years ago and received separate bills from the hospital, the surgeon, the anesthesiologist, and possibly something else (nursing?). I was able to get the hospitals portion written off ($~20,000 and I was unemployed and uninsured at the time) but no such luck with the other providers, and those bills and the collections agencies followed me for years until I could get them paid off.

Aspirin kills people too. Usually from stomach bleeding. If it's pain you're trying to reduce the only one I know of that has never killed anyone is cannabis.
Understanding JavaScript Pointer
Most probably these are tools commonly used by EU institutions which have records of bugs have causing them problems. The solution is to help fix those bugs by offering money. You are right though, I can't see how VLC can be as mission critical as Kafka.
What I mean is that it's not the biggest differentiator among developed countries. Not talking about developing vs developed countries here. Basically what makes you an outlier in terms of longevity is not medical care.
> Isn't Japan notorious for doing the opposite? At least it made the news....

It's not because it makes the news that it's quantitatively important. Murders make the news in Japan the whole time yet Japan is one of the safest countries around.
> I don't know how to make close friends.

Don't worry about this. If you can make acquaintances, you're on your way. Think of close friends as friend seeds that you've watered. I even have such people from years ago that I keep warm around this time of year. Whether you become close depends a bit on serendipity. Will you live near each other? Will you work in the same business? Will you have kids the same age?

So gather up friend seeds, it's pretty easy. Go for drinks with people, hang out, that sort of thing. You don't have to force yourself to spend a load of time with anyone. In fact it's impossible in some cases.

As for your interest in coding and math, you've already discovered you can make online friends. Maybe you'll see more people like you at uni, who knows. For the moment you at least have online people you can socialize with, and it's not like they're any less than real people.
> The diet unfortunately is being abandoned by many.

with soybean sauce and MSG used in so many dishes, I am afraid to say that the diet is never a good one to start with.
Intel has deprecated MPX and will remove it from newer CPU generations.

Likewise GCC 9 will be dropping support.

Only ARM and Google (via Android) are currently serious about such kind of feature support, but it will still take a couple of years until it gets widespread support.
It is called the long tail. PHP is only language with okay CMSs. The reason for it is the hosting model. It is easy way how to give someone package of files and they can buy their own managed hosting, put the files there and they have website.

Its all the tiny businesses restaurants, schools, fan sites. Sites with 5 visitors a day. Probably like 50% of web is this.

You can hate PHP all you want but there is no tech that does this better (maybe serverless one day). And PHP cmses are in completely different league compared to anything else unfortunately. Things like Craft, Kirby, Bolt or even Wordpress nothing unfortunately compares.

Of course people here are gonna hate on it and i hate PHP as much as anyone but when you are living from making websites for 500eur and you need to make 3 a month then it is hard to beat.
> Also if people aren't warming to you, then dressing well and being fit help

I have been way over-valuing this before. While the effect might not be 0, I think it is a much worse problem for dating and not so much just making friends. Even then it is surprising how far a bit of confidence will get you.

Don't stress about things you can't change.

Ask HN: What do you use to track your habits and measure productivity?
When I started programming I was very productive, even more then today, but I was ignorant about performance, data races, xxs, sql injects, lower level programming, sysadmin, general CS, etc. So I think the problem is managers see new guys being more productive, but the old "slow" guys gets paid double.
Shhhh, you’re busting the narrative. But seriously, I’ve worked with some amazing older engineers. I’ve always had great relationships with them, and I’ve learned so much from those kinds of people. In my experience many older engineers are much more chilled out and willing to give their time to help others.
From what I’ve read, iron gall inks are only suitable for use with gold nibs. They will rapidly corrode steel nibs.
> * A positive feedback loop will form due to less cash being accepted => less cash circulating => less reason for businesses to accept cash

This is already happening in Sweden: most people find card or mobile payments more convenient and therefore carry little or no cash with them; more and more shops go cashless; and the cycle continues. New coins and bills were introduced a year or two ago and I still hear people complain that they haven't learned to tell them apart yet because cash is so rarely used.

While biometric authentication is overall less secure and can be circumvented, I still think there are situations where it's preferable to the alternatives, in particular on smartphones:

All Android versions I used don't support setting an encryption passphrase that's separate from the unlock pin/password. As a result one has to choose between a very long unlock password one has to enter all the time or a convenient short one making encryption basically useless. Given this trade-off, I think using a proper, long passphrase for encryption with a fingerprint for normal unlocks is preferable to the alternatives. It's particularly irritating that this restriction is not at all technical; the only justifications I've read were along the lines of "it might confuse users".

Less importantly, for my phone, a shoulder-surfing attack seems much more likely to me than someone specifically copying my fingerprint.
Maybe.

I make such diagrams in two steps:

1) Use pen and paper and/or graphviz to find most pleasant/understandable layout. It's may be not that obvious.

2) Use vector graphics editor (Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape or CorelDRAW) to draw by hand.
"Despite having just 12 percent of the national population, California represents nearly a third of all Americans on welfare. [...] In Texas, 6 percent of families in poverty receive welfare. In California, the figure is 66 percent. "

I don't know how welfare works in USA, but if it's a federal level program, it would seem California is pulling a pretty clever hack there.

Flat out, they have experiences. Sharing those matter. Maybe the other person can avoid more bad experiences.

I suppose you need to read up on digital protocols, it is all well handled. If it wasn't there could be no Internet or digital media or even processors or motherboards.
Two of my favorite inks are waterproof: Noodler’s Baystate Blue is gorgeous and removable only with bleach or very hard scrubbing (filling a pen with it is something of a terrifying ritual); and Noodler’s Warden series Bad Black Moccasin is everything-proof and the smoothest ink I’ve ever used.
I use Icarus Verilog at work for a fairly complex trading system on an FPGA so I disagree that FOSS simulators are almost totally useless. It supports most System Verilog features and works well with cocotb. In fact the fact that it’s open source also allows me not to have to worry about license usage (which has always been a problem using modelsim). I managed quite well abstracting the Xilinx is (most up like rams can be inferred in the code) and things like pcie, transceivers, ddr4 have well defined interfaces so are easy to model in straight Verilog
No. But I will pay $500 a month for news that is accurate, complete, and unbiased by the politics of the journalist.
Absolutely, I expect to be doing the same if I ever do have kids. Primarily for e.g. holidays and such, I think.
I had to choose a font recently, working with the client there were a few things such as 'no I don't want the eyeglasses g' and 'no I don't want descenders on numbers' and that was how we arrived at using 'Ubuntu' to fall back to the native font stack. This I was pleased with as Ubuntu is a system font on Ubuntu so working on a website where there is no need to download a 'Google Font' helps immensely when the cache is off.

However, I didn't like the 'M' and 'W' in Ubuntu, so I think I will be suggesting that we revise the font to this neat Inter UI font, loaded with 'defer' and the system fallbacks including Ubuntu.

This font is a very neat piece of work. It satisfies the 'g' and numbers requirements and is sans-serif. I can't wait to get working with it.
He falsely accuses people that disagree with him of being pedophile. Likeable?
In order for that to happen, someone has to get caught. I think this opportunity for abuse deserves some more careful thought about how to prevent it.
Yes. I used CorelDRAW, some years ago. In your example, they obviously created (or borrowed) several icons, and then arranged them.
"make a spreadsheet", "listen to this podcast/audiobook", "INBOX ZERO", "check out this cool new app" (which turns out to be fundamentally the same as the last app)

I feel like everything I've seen on this topic in the past 10 years is the same stuff over and over.

I used to be young and spriteful, and I'd to get giddy at the prospect of "the new way" to form habits and improve whatever it was I wanted to in my life, but now I'm just a jaded old man with the same problems. I've made some token improvements here and there but I'm willing to wager that if you pick up this spreadsheet today you won't be using it a year and a half from now.

It really surprises me that no real ground has been broken on this subject in recent years. We seem to be obsessed with the topic but it's a constant problem with a fairly stagnant set of solutions.
Do you think being "under german law" complicates things? Workers rights and social taxes are both quite strong here and I think a foreign company has to obey these terms to hire me when I live here (right?).

>How is that an enormous dose?

600mg is over half a gram of pure active ingredient.

Namely isobutylphenylpropionic acid, a cheap commodity product.

This material is not non-toxic and different people will succumb at different levels of lethality to different doses over different periods of time.

Not long ago I lost a friend to liver and kidney failure attributed by her final doctor as due to the 800mg daily recommended by her previous physician over a few year period.
You don't understand the concept of "race condition"?
Ah, good catch, I didn't notice that part. Here's a more relevant link, evidence for the trade-offs of OTC painkillers: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S014067360... . Seems there's evidence of a link between use of paracetamol in early childhood and developing asthma.
Such kind of biometric authentication sometimes/often is used in combination with something else - a pin, password etc. You then get authenticated by something that matches your body and a secret.
Ask HN: Recommend book on Game Theory?
I was watching a documentary that prompted me to read John Nash's thesis, "Non-Coperative Games"[0]

I searched the web for applications of game theory in Architecture (my formal training) & found some research that interested me[1]

My background is mostly in design, is there a "go-to" book that you recommend which may be easier going on people
with a less solid Math background like me?
