You can’t always predict how you will react under pressure. If you have an equipment failure or injure yourself in a way that you have not prepared for, well...
If these crashes are both from the same system then they effectively did nothing. The only I'd accept that they didn't do nothing is if they intervened and stopped the problem. Still waiting till the dust settles to take my opinion tho.
It also depends if it's a tort or criminal.
I've seen it happen once in a hundred dives or so. Some people are more nervous than others and when something unexpected happens while they are stressed out already for some other reason it can lead to panic.
Sharing aspects your inner world with another person, especially a person who is nonjudgmental, may be quite a validating and relieving experience for you.

A therapist can't and won't make you talk about anything you don't want to talk about. What you share (or don't) is entirely up to you.
If you're interested in some real world napkin math data points. I live off grid in the bay area and on the worst case rainy day around the solstice I made about 2/3 of the wattage of my solar array in watt hours. That day was in the worst week and I made about 7x the wattage of my solar array in watt hours over the course of the week.

LiFePo4 storage cost me about $3/Wh including BMS, solar cost me about $0.7/W including charge controller.
Fair point about California's negative LMPs, but I think for a lot of regions in the US there is still a lot of room for renewable growth.

But it is fair to compare LCOEs because solar usually gets its value through long-term PPAs; either utility to generator, or even through the rate-base, and the price of that is effectively set by the LCOE. Despite missing out a lot of the other factors that you reasonably bring up, from system costs to locational factors.
If most people don't really need more than a couple hundred miles range, and batteries are by far the single most expensive component of an EV, then it doesn't really make sense that we're going to see significant changes in range. Probably it gets up to around 300 or so and stays about there indefinitely, or at least until a major shift in battery technology.

Sure, but how does this work in todays era where feelings/opinion are considered by many to be the same as fact or at least valid support for an argument?
OK you've given me some opinions about why you personally wouldn't use easy mode. What if someone else wants to? Why can't you just push the down arrow and go to normal mode and let the people who want easy mode have an option? Why the gatekeeping?
What you want is access to all the intermediate forms in the compiler, not just the AST.

I don't think ATA password necessarily means the drive content is encrypted, or helps you fully wipe a drive you obtained from somewhere else.
Criminals seem unlikely to follow laws, so why bother having them? Of course devs would need to intentionally follow the privacy wishes of users but without metadata, even responsible developers who want to, can't.

I guess my question for you, considering it looks like you worked with devs at FB, is this article regarding FB platform design accurate? That's the most shocking thing to me that this article conveys, that even if you wanted to ensure data privacy as a dev, you couldn't unless you built a custom tool. I'd be pretty surprised if most (or any) would.

Curious on your thoughts.
Whay are we still fucking talking about this?
I don't think a long term, major content archival project is a good idea for a blockchain. Since the internet is so large, you would have to have major, major sharding (as opposed to the naive approach in bitcoin where all nodes contain the entire history). And additionally if you archive everything in an immutable datastore, you are going to end up archiving and then hosting illegal content, and afaik it is still not settled whether that constitutes a crime (in my opinion, it should).
Because there are a lot of people who haven't spent the years we have gaming and want to be able to beat modern games?
Hi, author of the language here.

Not a great time for HN exposure, as I just added a lot of new functionality, but none of that is documented yet :) But hey, all publicity is good publicity?

For those interested, some recent things that have been happening:

- Compile time reference counting. This does an analysis similar to the Rust borrow checker to infer lifetimes, but unlike Rust doesn't make the programmer jump through hoops.

- "Inline" structs: structs are allocated in their parent, and come at zero overhead compared to individual variables, which is particularly useful for Lobster's heavy use of 2d & 3d vector types.

- Multi-threading that uses separate memory spaces, meaning individual threads can run at max speed with no GIL overhead etc.

- A WebAssembly backend is being worked on.

- A lot of optimization work to make the language run faster.

For reference, it has been on HN before, as early as 2013 (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5904430), but it has changed a TON since then (e.g. it was a dynamically typed language, now it is statically typed, with flow sensitive type inference).
The use of power have no needs, nor does it required to be justified by "logical evidence". It's only requirement is to have it and a choice to use it.

Isn't it a near perfect sleight-of-hand to subvert societies into celebrating weakness as the ultimate virtue, turning it into straight up a currency for power used to nuke a narrowly defined "anyone" from orbit?

Edit: Added 'narrowly defined' to the last sentence.

> I don't really see the point in using Python syntax and then throwing in a handful of random differences that don't have anything to do with the domain you're working in

I don't think it's using Python syntax, I think it and Python share some similarities. Thinking about it in Python terms is probably why the changes appear random/different/useless. But in general not being constrained by Python or another language has value.

Thanks for your comment. I recognize your username and enjoy reading your comments.

https://aytwit.com/thoughter#hints sort of solves the adoption problem, in that you wouldn't necessarily need a critical mass of people for the service to be useful. Even just one patron could initiate a thought with another.
Ah OK got it, yeah that's a known limitation. That's something we plan to add support for very soon. Apologies for the current inconvenience!
I don't think the utility of invariants is restricted to proving program correctness, as is suggested by a number of commenters in this thread. Instead, they identify some underlying structure in your problem, and that structure can be exploited to simplify your method of calculation.

Another great example of exploiting a (not-really-loop) invariant to design an algorithm is Sean Parent's implementation of a generic 'gather' algorithm, which takes advantage of the fact that the set of objects below/above the gathering point is unchanged, allowing you to split the problem into two easier sub-problems. Here's his explanation and implementation (video should be linked to 16:50):

This is unbelievably pertinent. We've grown so accustomed in this virtual world of having avatars and proxies to hide behind, like books judged by their covers with studies showing most folks do not even read beyond headlines, that we want that face value BS to transfer to IRL, thus giving us identity politics and the like. We want to be judged (and judged positively at that) for our packaging and Halloween costumes we present to the world, instead of provable merits. What we'd like rather than who we truly are. And as a one-two punch, the general response is that not enough persons put their proverbial or literal money where their mouths are but where they want their mouths to be.
Again, if they can trade with foreigners, they're better off with real currencies. I'm not offended, I'm exasperated. Bitcoin has been a solution in search of a problem for a decade, and each time it stumbles on an idea it's proven not to be effective and it's off to the next goalposts. This time it's Venezuela for some reason. They have real problems, and they need real solutions, not magic internet beans. If they really wanted to help the Venezuelans they'd do it using the best system, not their system -- this helps them, and hey, if the Venezuelans are better off for it, I guess that's fine too.
A comparison to Swift's ARC would also be of interest :)
Is that really what's happening "in today's era"? I think this is a smear tactic--an ad-hominem, if you will--employed by some parties to discredit others.

Take, for example, the following slogan:

> Facts don't care about your feelings.

To me, that reads as a straw man. The enemy is defined to be in opposition to fact, when a more generous reading might be the inclusion of feelings among the facts. After all, we are being sensitive to our environment, and the internal impact of that environment actually matters. I find it funny to think that a person would design any system that impacts humans without considering the feelings it might engender. Without consideration of feelings, we may as well design systems for lifeless rocks.

Ask HN: How to stop recruiters reformatting my resume?
I'm looking for another position and my resume is written in Latex. It looks great, well laid out, easy to read, in .pdf
However, recruiters insist that I provide to them my resume in MS Word document and they do something with, unknown to me. One of the recruiters accidentally emailed me "by-product" of his creation. Not only he represented me, but document looked like shit.

I don't want anyone messing with my resume. How do I stop recruiters from making a mess out of my resume ?

The Strange Beauty of Salt Mines
> The First Amendment is part of the US government's decision on speech

This is just flat out incorrect.

The Bill of Rights was the people saying "You want a US government ruling over the several States? Here are the rules for what you're allowed to do." The US gov't never made a decision on speech, they agreed to the terms of "We, The People", full stop. You're acting like it's the opposite.

This is also why the gov't can't just rewrite the 1st amendment willy nilly—all of the US government's legitimacy with the American people comes from respecting the Bill of Rights. Stop respecting those rights and a rebellion is right around the corner.

Historically, the States had to approve the Bill of Rights (and the rest of the new Constitution) in order for it to come into effect. It's definitely NOT the US gov't "deciding", and it never was. All of the power resided in the States.

Interestingly, the "Federalists" that (re-)wrote the Constitution were mostly opposed to the Bill of Rights—that's the contribution made by the anti-Federalists to the US Gov't as it exists today.

Isn't it funny how most citizens treasure the Bill of Rights more than anything else in the Constitution? That makes it pretty clear which "side" had the well-being of the people in mind.
I'm just saying that it's odd, while legal, for companies not to sell their product to a customer because they don't like his "morals."
It's even worse than that - it also appears to learn synonyms from popular usage, even when it is incorrect or misleading.

For example, when it comes to firearms, there are two completely different parts called "extractor" and "ejector", that people often confuse because of similar sounding names. So now, when you search for "AR extractor removal", the first hit on Google is about ejectors; and it specifically highlights the word "ejector" as bold, as if it came from the search query:

https://www.google.com/search?q=AR+extractor+removal
Take subtraction. The binary operator - is not commutative in the sense that a - b is not equal to b - a. But a - b commutes to - b + a. Any number of +or-with-operand can be arranged in any order. This is commutativity in general. See the start of Chapter 1 in Part 1:

https://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/webbin/book/lookupid?k...

This is a very practical semantics of commutativity when programming. It’s unfortunately lost in most modern math expositions.
This is super work in progress, but the beginnings are there, reverse engineering ACPI was fun, looks like Intel couldn't finish writing the new interface before shipping
Isn't "What you permit, you promote" literally intolerance?

The whole point of tolerance is to say "I don't agree with that, but I respect your right to do your own thing."

This is advocating the exact opposite. Under this philosophy I can not longer be tolerant, because anything I "permit" I will be accused of promoting.

This seems like a recipe for a horrible, horrible world.
I know you said "avoid popular diets", but I highly recommend researching the ketosis metabolic process. I lost about 20lbs in 3 months and I have much more mental and physical energy. A lot of other hackers I follow on Twitter have had similar results.
The real problem here is that they do not notify people that on the Free plan, you can have Pages on a public repo, or a private repo without Pages. But you can’t have Pages on a private repo.
An experienced diver will often times panic when, due to lack of attention or equipment failure, their air supply stops. When I was learning and practicing buddy breathing we were taught to hand the diver needing air the regulator from your mouth and then you go for your spare mouthpiece simply because they will often focus completely on the working air supply in your mouth -- to the point of just pulling it from you.
Brussels becomes the first major city to halt 5G rollout due to health concerns
Its ironic that with literally all of human knowledge a google search away, people still don't do basic research and will ask questions online which can all be answered with a lmgtfy link.

I don't mean the search results that point to Stackoverflow, which are usually common patterns/answers. I mean looking up official docs, reading the code, just trying things without immediately looking for someone to handhold you through everything. You don't need to read medium articles or watch youtube for every single thing. Even a lot of tech conferences are full of talks going over the same basics over and over again, and these are meant for programmers.

This is a result of social media proliferation and the desire to do everything online and enhance your profile instead of just getting some work done. Y
Why choosing 'value' as a keyword for types? Super odd
The difference between peak load and lowest load change a lot depending on where you look. Geography plays a huge role (heating/cooling running in the night?).

The effect on the individual subgrids can also be much larger than on the grid seen as a whole. For example if you look at [1] (a graph of a hot California day in 1999 taken from [2]) you have commercial peak load at 3 times the low point, residential peak at about 4 times the low point, and industrial peak and agricultural peak at maybe 1.3 times their low points. However because of the way the peaks are offset from each other the total demand only varies by a factor of two. So the spare capacity in off-peak times of any individual power line might be much higher than a graph of total demand suggests.

I am still at it after 4 years, though my attendance has suffered since the kids arrived.

Crossfit is the only fitness regime that has done anything for me. I think this is because I don't have to think or plan I just go to class and do the work and go home. Also they adjust the difficulty level so it is just on the edge of what is possible for you to do.

It was an ego shock when I started out and all the girls can lift 3x the weight I can but I think that was good for me.
My bad. I failed to read all the way down.

I will suggest that maybe you need to move the "Hints" section or otherwise highlight it in some fashion. If they have the thought "Eh, no one even knows this service exists. Why bother?" before they get to the Hints section, this could be a barrier to adoption.
This shouldn't be marked as dupe.

Despite the similar title to the WSJ article, this contains heaps of new original information based on actual simulator testing that hints why the pilots might have re-enabled the cut-out switches.
Fair, though this isn't the technology that'll solve that. You've just centralized the decision making to the PRC which controls more than 51% of hash power. All it takes is a strongly-worded memo from Beijing and they can censor payments and rewrite the blockchain.

That said, with $1.26 transaction fees + 1-2% to buy BTC vs. even 20% for a credit card in this high-risk MCC, the breakeven is ~$7, and while I'm not sure what adult content costs on a monthly basis, I'd imagine the fee difference isn't a whole lot.

It's also not an imposition, nobody is required to use credit cards. Adult content is largely and lucratively ad-supported. Some businesses choose to offer content on a subscription model like the NYT paywall, and some choose not to. I don't see anything inherently wrong with the status quo. The cost of doing business is being passed down. They accept credit cards because even at a 20% fee, it's in their interests to do so. If it wasn't they'd stop. Either way, they're recovering their fees from customers.
Haha, the article calls it out as well

"Even with his celebration (and an untied shoelace) he set a new world record of 9.69 seconds."
A few bits of advice which I have collected over the years. Hopefully something rings true for you:
1. Complex software systems are HARD to work on. I think everyone in the industry struggles to piece it together. And you are young, so it probably will feel hard and complex. I think you are on the normal path.

2. Maintaining balance in your life is HARD. Keep those friendships up, keep trying to socialise, you're doing the right thing there.

3. Counseling/therapy are really good things, don't be afraid to try that option. Different people get this different ways - either through religion or through referral from your GP (doctor) or go privately, or talking to eg grandparents. So find something right for you.

4. Try to untangle the problems from each other. Your work related stress and your friendship/loneliness don't have to be a tangled mess. Straighten those things out into separate issues. The metaphor I use is to have separate containers for work stress vs family stress etc. Keep things in their own box and practice not letting those things influence each other too much.

5. Sometimes a job change is the right thing, and can make a big difference. Even if it seems like a job SHOULD be fulfulling and fun and rewarding, it might not be the right job for you. But to try and evaluate this rationally, and make a move for a positive reason.

6. One thing a counselor once told me: it's like you have a devil on one shoulder and an angel on the other. They are both wispering things in your ear (good and bad). Try to keep those little characters the same size. Don't let the devil seem so big that you are only listening to him.

7 It sounds like you have had some positive feedback, so really try to let that sink in and not doubt it. If someone told you you are doing well, well you are, so take that to heart and get some comfort from that, get yourself a treat to celebrate that.
