>> Fuck the GDPR, they have no more authority over me than China or North Korea does.

You are probably not trading with North Korea, so ignoring their laws has zero impact on anything. China is already getting more tricky though, although they are not choosing to throw their entire weight behind enforcing their demands abroad(yet).

But ignoring the demands of the largest trading block on the planet? That's not going to go well if you do any sort of business with the EU. Unless you can just afford to ignore all EU customers entirely.

And no, thank fuck for the GDPR, it's a great legislation.
Oh totally. Hell, lyft and Uber straight up withhold information for the explicit purpose of coaxing workers to do work they wouldn’t otherwise do.
One mating season is monogamous? Tell my wife that.

Also, this seems to make no mention of 'rearing complexity'. A more developmentally complex brain should imply prolonged rearing and have a bias of survival in favor of shared parenting.

I guess you can find anything you're looking for in gene expressions, if you really want.
Deconstructing Content Marketing
The Problem with Startups: A Content Marketer’s Perspective
And yet I don't see myself surrounded by highly successful ascets. Maybe the typical winners are those who by chance happen to be somewhat immune to the negatives than others while still cashing in on the positives (see ajcodez post)?

I do wonder occasionally who a parallel universe abstinent-me would be today. Would I have retained that deep focus excitability I had as a young teen? From a personal perspective it's difficult if not impossible to tell the effects of drinking years from the effects of years.
For those of you who just want main point:

There’s a caveat, however: Those gains have been reaped mostly by the well-off. While racial disparities have begun to narrow, the impact of limited access to treatment for the poorest Americans has increased wealth-based inequality, according to the American Cancer Society’s annual update on trends and statistics.
Price has gone up and they said they wanted to be more of a luxury good, so it is unsurprising.

>"If nuclear tests are the main reason for lung cancer, then why did lung cancer incidence start rising before nuclear weapons were invented?"

It became easier to diagnose, or perhaps more trendy? It is actually really hard to distinguish between lung cancer and tuberculosis.[1] At ref 2 you can see tuberculosis rates dropping from 200/100k in 1900 to near 0 in 1980. In the meantime lung cancer rose from near 0 to ~100/100k deaths.[3]

Also, as I mentioned, there was a fad to expose yourself to radioactive stuff starting about 1900 that only died out in the 1960s.[4]

So, could be lots of things in combination.

>"If nuclear tests are the main reason for lung cancer, and their effect is due to background radiation, why weren't all cancers increasing steadily rather than simply lung cancer?"

My understanding is they were.[5] The lungs may especially vulnerable to radioactive dust though, if they had already "accounted for", as the lung cancers due to smoking, then this could have been missed.

Ed Thorp literally wrote the book on Blackjack - it's called Beat The Dealer and is definitely worth a read.
Yet they are not compliant and you cannot delete posts or accounts. Pretty sure YC does business in the EU as well. Enough to be subject to GDPR at least.
This is where the tradition of an 'abstract' at the beginning of an academic paper comes from. Our blogging world has grown up enough to rediscover the ways of the old!

Yes, but this is hardly an argument against using comments.

There will always be a pathological case. The question is what approach will increase your chances of success, what's least likely to lead to problems, what's the cost-risk-benefit tradeoff etc.

Comments detailing the intent of a non-obvious function are valuable for maintainers wanting to figure out what's happening in the code. They are written in human-oriented business-oriented language, so they don't take effort to read. The intent of the code should not change that often. If they diverge from the code, the effort of changing them should be small enough to be worth it. Ideally they should be treated as important and if they are wrong it should be picked up in the code-review.

Comments detailing just the description of what a function does, by contrast, are not valuable, since that information can be deduced from the code itself. Every time the function changes, the comment will change. Reading them is as much effort as reading the code, so if they diverge it won't be picked up as easily.

There are always exceptions to these kinds of guidelines, of course, but this at least gives motivation for why I think comments should be used in this way.

That is not surprising at all. The set of real numbers that can be produced by a computer is countable. That means that almost all real numbers are uncomputable. (Square roots of natural numbers are computable though.)

Stuff like this seems to happen in tech all the time: they follow exactly the literal meaning of all the words in their terms of service, but the actual reality is the exact opposite of what the words imply.
>"The usual strategy is to control for smoking. If nuclear test rate correlates with lung cancer rate, but does not correlate with non-smoker lung cancer rate, nuclear test is not causing lung cancer."

I'm not really concerned with whether there is, or is not, a correlation, I already know there is a correlation.

I am concerned about: How much of the increase in lung cancer incidence we see in the data could be accounted for via exposure to radiation from nuclear tests? I doubt it is zero, but it could be relatively negligible I suppose.

The timing of it does overlap quite well though.
Zerodate – Made a new counterweight gaming mouse
Yes I (re)built a system for a client's health related business with 500 users on GCP. We used load balancers, two types of servers, managed Postgres and Django. It's been working very steadily for just over a year now and is much cheaper and more robust than the previous platform which was Rackspace.
Just as an FYI for the kids, I've ported node-red to mobile devices:
https://github.com/alexisread/noreml

I need to finish creating a table plugin, but it's now possible to create apps, including UI, for mobile visually in node red, and actually on the device.

The UI part uses node-red-dashboard etc. And being able to do this might be useful for home automation.

Effectively what this is, is a nodeJs instance running node-red, with a Cordova webview set to point to the node-red dashboard URL.
As such, you can do heterogeneous clustered processing across mobile devices using dnr nodes:
https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-dnr

You can reach the node-red UI from the usual URL in your browser
In the very least modern cmake requires one CMakeList.txt per module (application or library), not to mention the project.
I used it 3 years ago or so, but ultimately decided against it and went back to Python/Go for creating my IoT integrations.

It works (worked?) well, but had a few "gotchas" like where your workflows are stored, configuration, logging, monitoring of application status, and general NPM upgrade madness.

There is (probably) also the general issue of 4th gen development tools (point & click) where maintaining a codebase is rather tedious. I've worked with WebSphere Message Broker in the past, and major upgrades could be a chore.

I'm aware most of the issues i had have been fixed in later versions, but i've not had the need/urge to go back and try it again. That doesn't mean others shouldn't.
Hi HN! I am a former video game addict who searched for help online and found none. When I shared my story in a blog post I heard from thousands of others asking for help, and decided to create a community for all of us to support each other: Game Quitters.

We have hundreds of resources, inspiring stories, free tools to find new hobbies, and community support. 99% of the website is free with a few reasonable paid programs with structured step-by-step guides and additional bonuses.

Happy to answer any questions you may have. :)

> who is the greatest fool here?
Not sure if this is a rhetorical question or not; it does sound like one.

In the case of a single indie developer making an app for a single app store, it seems the developer is the greater fool, since they are turning their work into a commodity, when they should be turning their complement --- the app store --- into one.

Perhaps the route for the indie developer to actually see the financial reward is to make sure their app is available on every app store. ... or maybe they need to skip the app stores entirely to keep 100% of the sales.
Eh, modern SMT solvers are very practical tools, as are solvers for Mixed Integer Linear Programs. NP-completeness doesn't mean that you can't solve most instances you care about in reasonable time.

I learned 4e first (modulo a one-shot 3rd ed game a long time before). I think it has excellent potential as a system that allows you to tell stories, even if the actual game mechanics are a bit too simple for most AD&D-heads. Check out the Critical Hit podcast by Major Spoilers, to see where a very effective DM can turn even 4e into a compelling story.

(I now play 5e whenever I run a game, because I can get people to actually play it with me.)
What do you spend most time worrying about? And has your mental disorder got any connection to spirituality? I have been down this road many times and have immense experience, and will from time to time get sucked in there myself because I'm being careless.

Also, habits? Smoking, drinking? Good if not. Bad if yes.

Btw, thanks for the honesty. When I do go down, I struggle with the same stuff... and it takes guts to admit that to yourself and others.

And get off your meds. It's not worth it. I have had a tab of Valium (12 pills) last me for the last 2 years. I only take it when I get an ultra panic attack, and mine tend to be the out of this fucking world kind...

And friends I know that sat on pills for a long time said they eventually fuck you up even more. For this, I would suggest getting into a regular exercise regime despite how shitty it is to get up and do that stuff...

Happy to hear your thoughts and give some general advice.
"Sears had everything. Global supply chain, check. Top notch distribution operation, check. System and infrastructure to take orders and handling billing, check. Name recognition and established customer base, check."

At that time in the industry sure, but they failed to pivot. This supply chain by todays standards would be laughable.
"That list would make many at Mises scream bloody murder" - I would say only those who don't understand what Capitalism is. The common misconception is that Capitalism is the system where people are free to do whatever they want, especially those who has a lot of money. That's not true; the system that allows for that is called Feudalism. Obviously Hayek understood the difference.

It is interesting to analyze why so many people fail to understand what Capitalism is. My guess is that unfortunately many modern "western" countries are slowly moving away from Capitalism into some kind of modern version of Feudalism. And people with very deep pockets are indeed able to do what they want - last financial crisis is a good example, although multiple banks were behind it, they didn't go bankrupt, but were saved using taxpayers money.

The end result is that people think that "Capitalism is wrong", "Capitalism is not working", etc. They are just not aware that Capitalism is no longer here.

It is their decision to take advantage of it. Moreover, most of these companies did disseminated and promoted half-truths and falsehood about how much people will earn and what costs are offloaded. When you knowingly manipulate people or lie to them, you have no business to complain when someone else comes in and talks openly about you not being truthful.

People criticising and blaming companies eager for taking advantage of either naive or uninformed people is how the economic system becomes less vulnerable and how people learn what to be careful off. Openly criticizing these companies is how next workers become informed about traps like this.
I mean, in a casual discussion I'd frequently say that I "play D&D all the time" even though I have never in my life played Dungeons and Dragons - we usually play derivatives of DnD and other roleplaying games. But DnD is something that most people at least recognize so for me it became a generic term for roleplaying game, just like hoover became a generic term for a vacuum cleaner.
Decreasing sales in China may also indicate increasing preference for domestic brands such as Huawei and Xiaomi. Ask most westerners and they have probably never heard of these brands but in China they may actually be more desirable.

I now realize I was close to burning out, without me knowing it at the time.

I've changed jobs recently and this made me so much happier; still programming full-time but working in a new domain, new language, new but positive people renewed my joy in building stuff.
I just realised what was really magical to me with pen&paper rpgs. My uncle used to have this funny / ridiculous trick of his, with a deck of cards where he would secretly see the bottom card of the deck while finishing shuffling it and then ask you: "red or black?". You'd say "red", then if the bottom card was red, he would say "then we take the red", or if the card was black he would say "then remains the black". Basically whatever you would say would lead to the bottom card and you'd supposedly be amazed when he'd show it to you.

In a rpg, it's like "you're in the forest, what you do?", "well I walk east". "ok you found a tower". Whatever you do, you'd find that tower haha. It's like whatever you say have fun consequences but with thousands more options than my uncle's trick.

The Huawei specs are still a bit to limited for a full comparison, but it does use the same process.

Even if their IP is worse, they seem to have brute-forced their way to the top.

>There are other ways to appreciate art and culture, such as visiting museums, reading books, watching documentaries or other youtube videos on these topics, etc. These are all free or much cheaper than a course in a college. You haven't demonstrated how an academic setting is better and worth the cost.

Academics is necessary to teach people how to create, understand and appreciate Art and Culture. People writing books (not necessarily, but most probably) have a degree in Language and Literature, people creating documentaries have a degree in Film-making etc. If you think these skills can be obtained from reading books, watching videos on YouTube etc, then the same thing can be said about STEM fields as well.

The saddest thing about having board games is not having anyone come over to play them.

In particular for me at the moment, I have Battles of Westeros

I think it's normal, things lose their excitement at some point. That's human nature. You will probably start resenting clients in 10 years. Also - you yourself will change. You will grow older and might find more value in things outside career. Or not, who knows. But don't expect to be the same person 10 years from now.
Switching stacks, jobs, challenging yourself with harder roles, taking more responsibility etc are all things that might help. But unfortunately I don't think anything can bring back the joy I used to feel when I succeeded in building my first web app. After doing it professionally for years it loses it's magic.
> Look, the reason iPhone sales are slipping is because of China's recent poor economic performance. Apple said EXACTLY that in their last earnings guidance:

Sure but that was one of the sections with reasons. They also said

> While macroeconomic challenges in some markets were a key contributor to this trend, we believe there are other factors broadly impacting our iPhone performance, including consumers adapting to a world with fewer carrier subsidies, US dollar strength-related price increases, and some customers taking advantage of significantly reduced pricing for iPhone battery replacements.

I don’t think we should ignore these either.
But neither are in scope. The GDPR makes exceptions for journalistic use cases (An encyclopedia certainly counts; see Article 85 and 89), and it does not require that you link a person (e.g. in your second case; see Recital 26) if you have no other reason to do. If someone persists, Article 11 makes it possible to put the onus on the person to identify any data in this category.

Yes. And the halting problem doesn't preclude static program analysis even if it works with only a subset of all possible programs.
That quote only says that the revenue declined in China, not why. Economic downturn might be a reason, losing market share in China due to local competition, product strategy or similar might be another reason.
This is a great reply. I really recommend the learning to cook suggestion - there are a bunch of parallels with programming (it's creative but in a process-driven sort of way; there are loads of different styles and techniques; great sense of accomplishment when you finish something complex; you can delight others with your creations; gentle learning curve; etc) in addition to (possibly modest) health benefits and a general sense of de-stressing.
This comment is sheer idiocy. Do you also expect taxi execs to be guilty of any crime if someone dies in a traffic accident involving one of their taxis?
The thing that makes you happy when coding is purpose.

Even automating your house so that heating comes on before you arrive has a purpose. Or writing a script to clean up your photos. Or any number of little coding tasks. You do them and you find them enjoyable because they have purpose.

Sometimes with work, you lose that. Often it's because coding isn't seen as anything but a chore that needs to be done towards the business goal. A necessary annoyance, where the real purpose is something that doesn't require coding. And that really kills the enjoyment for a lot of devs.

I had a period where I felt like you. I was working in a dying business, other people weren't supporting it, and it just felt like a death spiral. The only thing to be done was to change track and do something else.

As a former 'video game addict' myself, I can't overstate how important I think this project is.

I never used Game Quitters myself, but I wish I had. I wish that I had found Game Quitters when I was younger, as Video Games were essentially the only thing I was living for. Video Games prevented me from getting outside and experiencing the world when I needed it most - when I was a deeply unhealthy kid who couldn't walk and who had been hospitalised and away from people his own age for a few years. Some things, like social interaction, I still struggle with today, and I wonder if that would have been the case if I quit video games.

I'm lucky that my path in life moved me away from Video Games, but I know others aren't so lucky. This is why I think the world needs Game Quitters to raise awareness of these issues.

I met Cam two months ago, and just by my interactions with him, I realised that even after a year since I last played a video game, it still has a big effect on my lifestyle and thought patterns. I've found Cam's Game Quitters YouTube channel helpful in indentifying those problems.

I think it says a lot that when I wanted to learn web development, the first thing I made was from a video game. And even now, I still find myself watching videos and streams of gaming from time to time, and Cam's work has helped me to realise my actions are having a negative impact on my life.
