Of course, there are minor differences between various ethnic groups

This is a poor choice of words, which undermines the author's thesis. If there were actually distinct "ethnic groups" then one could call those groups distinct "races." The point is that when we classify people (into ethnic groups, or races), the specific criteria we use, and the boundaries we draw, are subjective.
The OP isn't trying to criticize Python... he was just trying to give an example of what it means for everything (in LISP) to be an expression. He didn't say that Python doesn't have an "if expression"... just that you can't use the if statement in an expression context.

Spot on regarding getting dressed! After my morning excercise, I get dressed just as I were to go into the office.

Regarding intra vs extraverts - I think you're right, it probably somewhat favors intraverts. However, I've worked with a number of extraverts over the years too that worked well remotely.
There’s other languages that fit the same criteria that are much better: Scala, OCaml, Racket, or Haskell.

The inherent qualities that draw people to Python are that it’s so inexpressive and crippled that you can learn it in 30 minutes.

Yes, but this is exactly what did not happen here.

Of course there is, and claiming that there isn't is just paranoia on your part. For whatever it's worth, here is another one: https://derstandard.at/2000103424380/Die-Drahtzieher-hinter-...

Here is a summary, but only in German: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/BVT-Aff%C3%A4re

Very briefly, a police unit controlled by an FPÖ politician illegally searched the offices of the BVT (the office for constitutional protection and counterterrorism) and seized data, apparently mostly about right-wing extremist networks.
In the mid-1980s, I used my trusty Commodore 64 to build "test banks" for my math, chem, physics, and bio courses in high school and early college.

My rationale was the same as in this paper: I wanted to handicap myself from knowing the "type" of question I was trying to answer and force myself to think, "Ok. Where is this question 'located' on the map of everything I've been taught? And once I know its location, where do I need to go to get to its answer?"

So, I hand-entered every question I could get my hands on and I had the computer throw random problems/questions at me before an exam.

The problem w/ my approach was that I had to hand-enter problems from my textbooks, so there was a decent chance that I would still remember the type of question simply from the act of typing it into my 'database.' But it was the best I could do.

I teach some college chemistry now and I think interleaving would be helpful to my students. I say this because one of the biggest issues on exams is that the students will have no idea what _type_ of problem they are looking at. If they correctly determine the type of problem, the remaining work is relatively easy. And I think the problem stems from students practicing the work by answering multiple problems that belong to the same category.

Multi-tenant is the cloud's linchpin and it's disingenuous to pretend otherwise. The offerings of and outlook for cloud providers would be very different without multi-tenancy.

While single-tenant options may be available for some configurations, you'll pay through the nose, and there are many limitations (e.g., EBS-backed volumes attached to your single-tenant instances still run on multi-tenant hosts). Moreover, few if any of the managed cloud services, which are what really drive cloud adoption, have any concept of single tenancy.

Even after all this, the risk is only partially mitigated, because you're trusting Amazon's management toolkit and staff to respect these boundaries and to not have any bugs that may inadvertently expose access or data to third parties. Considering single-tenancy is such a small segment of their business, I doubt this is a major consideration, and even if it is, it's a lot of eggs to put into a basket that's completely out of your control.

There just isn't much of an argument for a group that's serious about security to commit hardcore to "the cloud", yet virtually every company I've encountered in the last few years is pushing this hard, and actively ostracizing anyone who tries to inject some moderation or sanity into it.

I appreciate the convenience of cloud offerings as much as the next guy, but it's out of control, and the complete disregard for the implications of hardware bugs that fundamentally undermine the supposed security model is a great representation of that.

I find it interesting in this day and age, where we know so much about the hazards of processed foods, that some many seemingly health-conscious folks are gravitating to the Impossible meat 2.0. The ingredient list of the 2.0 is:

> Water, soy protein concentrate, coconut oil, sunflower oil, natural flavors, 2% or less of: potato protein, methylcellulose, yeast extract, cultured dextrose, food starch modified, soy leghemoglobin, salt, soy protein isolate, mixed tocopherols (vitamin E), zinc gluconate, thiamine hydrochloride (vitamin B1), sodium ascorbate (vitamin C), niacin, pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6), riboflavin (vitamin B2), vitamin B12.

This seems as processed as I can possibly imagine. I understand the environmental and health effects of beef, but I truly wonder which is healthier for you. Beef is pretty much as natural as it can come, while the 2.0 meat comes from a lab.

That said, I've absolutely loved the Impossible burger at Mendocino Farms. I'd recommend it to anyone. But I none-the-less wonder about the health effects.
You could say the same about soy-based burgers, yet many say that the Impossible Burger tastes like an animal burger.
> People working remotely may have health or social issues on a greater average.

I don't know any reason that working remotely would correlate to health/social issues. Is this a known statistic from somewhere? The social thing perhaps correlates to working (remotely or not) in a software field, but I'm not sure why remote workers would be statistically any different than non-remote workers. (I happen to be a remote worker)

Both you and jonathanfoster have raised some great points here.

In a way, the working prototypes I've built (many of which could be production ready with little extra work) have been my "just get shit done" approach, both to prove my solutions to myself, AND to help make the argument to the rest of the team.

What's tough is that I'm not getting any hard no's on anything... after I build and show working prototypes of my ideas (many of which could be deployed to production with little extra work) I usually get a pat on the back followed by a "we'll discuss getting this out there when we have more time to learn it", and then it goes nowhere.

Next step would be deploying the stuff to production, but I have a good hunch I'd be the only one using the stuff, which wouldn't actually fix the problem from the customers' perspective if only half the system works as they'd expect (especially if new features continue to be written by the other engineers using old systems).

Ego might be part of this, though, so I think being extra diplomatic and trying to frame these ideas as "other people's ideas" might get me further.

Barring that, I might go straight to the customers (starting with our internal users and maybe broadening from there) to make sure my ideas are actually worthwhile to them.

If I can get a hard no from either my co-workers or the customers, I'd be more willing to either back off or find another place where I fit better. But as of right now, I see our customers asking for things we can't deliver, and I have a drive to fix it, but I don't think there's a way forward without my co-workers' and superiors' buy in.

Thanks for all the ideas!
Interleaving different types of problems is one of several "evidence based" study techniques described in the excellent book "Make it stick" by Peter Brown. Highly recommended; this book is based on the latest and most solid research on learning and dispels a lot of long-time misconceptions.

What happened to Stella Liebeck was terrible, but it was no one's fault more than her own.

Stella's coffee was served within the temperature range that was, and still is, recommended by professional coffee associations like SCAA and NCA [1]. As of 2019, the NCA recommends that coffee be held and served at around 180-185 deg F (~80-85 deg C), which is likely near the temperature at which Stella was burned. This is a perfectly reasonable service temperature, widely used by coffee shops, restaurants, and home brewing machines to this day.

Stella Liebeck took her cup of coffee and squeezed it between her legs in order to fiddle with the lid. The result was tragic, but completely expected. If I spill a fresh cup of Starbucks coffee on my crotch today, I fully expect third-degree burns. So I take a little extra care with it until it has cooled to drinking temperature, which happens pretty quickly.

Tea is generally even hotter. Any good tea shop will serve a pot of freshly boiled water, at least twenty degrees hotter than hot coffee. Spilling that on yourself is guaranteed to melt your skin. Great care is warranted.

Again, what happened to Stella was terrible. She didn't deserve it, and she didn't deserve the hate she got afterward. But she did something really stupid. I sympathize, because I do stupid stuff all the time, and I have the scars to remind me.

We're surrounded by extremely dangerous things that require great care to use properly. It's useful for coffee to be held and served hot, just as it's useful for knives to be sharp and cars to be able to reach highway speeds. There will inevitably be accidents, but making the world completely safe for people who use these things carelessly would mean depriving everyone of their proper use.

> A feature I'd love to see is not directly a timeout but a periodic reminder

Makes sense. That's something I had in my mind too. The default behavior will be a timeout-less, periodical reminder. I just felt having a timeout will help me prioritize an article when I'm in the zone.

As for me, most times there's this bursts of interest in certain areas (the zone) that gradually fades away with time. I'd like to use the zone, to complete my reading list related to that area of interest and hence the timeout.

my own intuition on this is that making food using complicated industrial processes isn't bad or good in itself. but it is more profitable for many reasons to make food that is sweet, salty, fatty, and calorically dense, and modern manufacturing lets you do this on an unprecedented scale, so it just ends up that in practice "natural", "whole", "slow" etc foods end up being better for you.

it seems possible, although likely less profitable, to make highly-processed food that is reasonably healthy.

"Processed foods" are not inherently hazardous. In fact, nearly all food we eat is processed food. I presume you're referring to tertiary processed food.

The Soylent FAQ[0] has a good way of describing this:

> A box of instant macaroni could be unhealthy because it contains low levels of important vitamins and minerals while containing excess amounts of salt, cholesterol, and saturated fat. The macaroni is not inherently unhealthy because it was manufactured in a factory, it’s unhealthy because it lacks vital nutrients that the body needs.

How about this: your copyright claim accuracy becomes a multiplier for monetization payouts. E.g. if 100% of claims are correct, you keep all monetization. If 10% of claims are correct, you only get 10% of monetization.

Also, if Google can show that the copyright claims are incorrect, then they get to keep the difference.

Now copyright holders are incentivized to make accurate claims and Google is incentivized to find inaccurate claims.
I think you can exclaim "fuck!", but maybe keep the "fucks" out of internal documentation and written communication.

It's great to see ideas on improving something like Pinboard - but I don't think this service is for me. A bookmarking service is just a digital version of my personal bookshelves. Although I often try to organize books in order of priority - I ultimately have come to realize that I prefer a big bucket that I can dip into. I've also gotten much better at looking through my old bookmarks to rediscover good stuff. And cultivating that discipline within is more valuable to me than farming the discipline out to a computer to nag me about.

I realize I am portraying the system in a negative light - but I am tired of being surrounded by automated systems, notifications, reminders and such. I wouldn't be surprised if most people would find this system helpful and very useful. I do believe that as we build massive personal information 'stores' that we are going to continue to need new tools and better archival/navigation skills - this might be part of that, I'm just not on board yet.
The title is misleading but after reading the court order you posted, this still seems odd. I'm not defending anyone involved in this, honestly both Dektor and NITV seem sketchy but this is a civil judgement against a company in a different state. Maybe some HN legal wonks can weigh in on this and explain it but I don't see how a state civil court has the authority to remove a website that's clearly outside of state jurisdiction and not involved in a criminal proceeding. If it were a violation of the law it would fall under federal jurisdiction. If the civil judge determined that the website itself was in violation of the law then it should be referred to the relevant federal agencies for a criminal investigation.

I don't actually have a strong aversion to compilers. I use tools like Babel and Webpack regularly. However, I've seen the types of transformations the Svelte compiler does and they tend to hide complexity, making it harder to trace and debug code at runtime. Source maps can only do so much. It's much harder to debug code that doesn't resemble what you wrote in the first place.
That seems like basically what's happening. I guess the only place where YouTube might be non-conforming is that they break down the complaints by individual piece of content, rather than by claimant.

One benefit that the linked article doesn't mention is the ability to initiate file transfers over the very same serial connection using ZMODEM / YMODEM / Kermit etc. When I had this set up it was very useful to act as a bridge to my NAS and download software from there onto the ST.
