I'm a big fan of HN and happy to have a reason to create an account and comment after all of these years. I thoroughly enjoy the intelligent conversation here.

As a Starting Strength Coach (there are around 130 of us), I I can confirm that a few of the comments accurately sum up the objections (rather misunderstandings) of the program that H1Supreme highlighted.

The powerclean is an important part of the novice program to build explosive power - the ability to display strength, quickly. It can be substituted by another lift, or a light deadlift day, if the trainee's injury status or age make it an unwise cost/benefit equation. But this is considered a trade-off and isn't ideal.

Yes, the powerclean is technical. So is the squat. And the press. And the bench, to a much lesser degree. Which segues into the issue mentioned in the second point. Elbow pain in the squat. As accurately described by "yepguy," this is indeed a technical error. Here's how to fix it: https://startingstrength.com/training/preventing-elbow-pain-...

A few other thoughts: pwthornton, kettle-bell cleans and snatches are not a substitute for barbell cleans and snatches. What we're chasing is adequate training stress to facilitate an adaptation. One of the primary drivers of that stress is load - weight on the bar. Kettle-bells are too light (comparatively) to create meaningful enough stress to facilitate the stress, recovery, adaptation cycle in the context of training (goal oriented exercise).

anarchodev, Rippetoe and Starting Strength are more interested in getting regular, everyday people strong than high school football players. Yes, it's a great way for getting young men big and strong (I gained 65lbs), but it's also a way to improve quality of life for octogenarians, for example. The low-bar squat is in the program versus the high bar squat because it uses more muscle mass, which means more weight on the bar can be used. Weight on the bar is the primary consideration in strength training - more of it is what's needed to get stronger. Here is a piece that analyzes the squat in detail: https://startingstrength.com/article/analysis_of_the_squat

ubercore and DataWorker, for the purposes of strength training - low bar works better. It can be applied to any body type. Shorter torso = more horizontal back angle at the bottom of the squat, and vice versa. Goal is to load the hips, which are a more robust joint than the knees and are surrounded by more muscle mass. Low-bar is not one-size-fits-all, its a model for the squat that can be applied to nearly anyone, with rare exception.

michaelgrafl the nature of goblet squats and front squats require a sub-maximal load when compared to the low bar back squat. They may be suitable for an exercise program, but they are not suitable for an efficient strength training program, and most certainly not for a novice. See comment above about training stress.

I have a ton of respect for this community and would love to interact with you guys. Let me know if I can be helpful in any way.

This kinda looks like it has an epaper screen? Or at least a simple black and white lcd. Potentially uses a lot less power than a torch.
The point is one might luck into getting rich. Staying rich requires some intelligence, or you're going to make poor decisions. This is even true of dynastic wealth.

In 2016, Facebook published an article saying that 1 million people use Facebook (over their onion address) every month[1]. Comparing this with the privacy preserving statistics provided by the Tor project (based on extrapolating HSDir hits) leads you to believe that 1 million per month is the overwhelming majority of .onion site users.

Roger Dingledine mentions this in quite a few of his talks, I'm fairly sure it's an accurate statement.

Everyone once in a while a product manager will get familiar with the Django admin page of an app I'm working on and say something like "What? Why does it say Companys? Is there something wrong with the app?"

My response is always (some diplomatic, lay version of), "No, it's correctly refusing to involve us in the game of guessing how the framework developers modeled plurals."
Or even that there is a 3rd confounding factor.. say amount of sleep...

Why do you think fileinput is weird?
Scriptable is also easy to use as a de facto Shortcuts extension using in-app links and similar.
I am not sure why, but I can't login with my account. My password is >40 characters, I am not sure if it is being clipped somehow?
It's kind of like using an external mouse with a laptop, it should be an enhancement, not the primary input device.

A little off topic but a genuine question. Am I the only one who cannot stand shows with canned laughter?

My other half thinks it's odd but I hate punch lines being ruined / unfunny jokes having a laugh track over them. Which unfortunately makes big bang theory pretty unwatchable for me among others :(
This looks pretty cool! There have been some horribly misguided niche consoles lately, (see the Amico), this one looks great by comparison. I can see it working as kind of a novelty product. I think the price point is a little high, since it's close to Nintendo handheld prices.
Knowing issue. URL encoding. Will be fixed soon.
I've updated the TOS / etc. thanks for pointing out the issues!
The other main alternative to `async/await` with the Promise<T>/Task<T>/future<T>-paradigm is Rx's Observable - but let's not pretend that because Observable<T> is capable of handling every situation that Promises can doesn't mean we should use it everywhere - Angular tried that when they changed their HTTP client library to use Observable<T> instead of Promise<T> because they wanted to expose retries and other nifty logic - but in doing-so made the learning curve a vertical brick-wall for everyone involved (and now we can use Promise<T> with support for retries and better error-handling anyway) in addition to adding a very hard dependency on a fast-moving project (e.g. Angular 6 comes with a load of RxJS compatibility shims because RxJS radically changed their API design (again)).

Go's goroutines seem okay - but I don't like how much control they take away from the programmer. For example, last year I worked on calling-into a black-box C DLL from a Go program and we learned the C DLL had code that was actually simply terminating the thread inside of it (by design!) because the author of the C DLL assumed ownership of the thread. That caused a problem for us because Go's goroutines are scheduled by the Go runtime and it will never let you give-up ownership of a Go thread - and I couldn't see how I could use my own thread (e.g. getting a thread from a native OS call to keep it outside of Go's control) with goroutines. The project was almost DOA after we learned this, fortunately we convinced the author to always return instead of killing the thread. I'm not sure if anything's changed in Go since then that would have made things easier for us. But since then we haven't used Go for anything new. The only reason we used Go was because it gave us binaries that "just worked" for Windows, macOS and Linux without having to worry about Java, .NET and other dependencies - but I wasn't happy about the ~20-30MB-sized executable output.
Big 4?
That hasn’t been my experience.
I think you misinterpreted what I tried to write, to me it feels the article is written more from the perspective of someone who hasn't actually worked with tablet based MS product...
This. Rewarding myself with something small when I achieve a small goal not only recharges me but also makes me work harder. Small rewards that work for me are drinking coffee with someone (or other socialising activity), exercising, playing a video game or watching a movie.

+1 for font size options. And don't skimp on the range. I'm not sure you can have a too-small option. HN is textually dense. That's one of the things that makes it nice - no photos, just people talking. Continuing with that feel is good.

"By the way, the crank came from our friends at Teenage Engineering. They were our partners for Playdate’s design. Isn’t it nice?"
That's because they all crank so easily. Surely if they used gears and required more force to convert from few rotations to many it would be better?
> Are Python 2 -> 3 migrations for stdlib packages mostly rewrites or mostly tacking on compatibility layers like `from __future__ import unicode_literals`?

Packages in the stdlib don't need compatibility layer since they are always used with the Python version they were written for, it's motly incremental rewrites.

Regarding the build time, I don't think most of the time is spent testing those parts of the stdlib.
Ya, it works as an ad, even if I wouldn't want this kind of design for more serious content.
This would have a similar effectiveness to advertising on linear TV today -- your ad reaches everyone who is tuned in (or visits the site), whether they are in your target demographic or not.

This also wouldn't work on things like Google Adwords.
Indeed -- those first workouts after an idle period - ouch!

The other thing to notice about pain and muscles vs joints (tendons & ligaments), is that you get good feedback from the muscles about how hard you are pushing -- the tiredness & burn -- so you can tell how you are doing. you need to go into that zone to really stimulate the muscle (but not so much or for so long that you break it down).

In contrast, tendons 7 ligaments give very little feedback until they are already damaged, sprained, pulled, etc. The first you hear about it is when you've gone too far.

That's why you need to be intelligent about loading them up when starting to work toward significant increases in previous strength!
Exit nodes aren't used like that for .onion sites, so they cannot track usage of .onion sites.

The way it works is that the client and server pick a "rendezvous node" (the server generates 6 HSDir entries, each with 3 random nodes every day, and the client picks a random HSDir entry and a random one of those node to use). Then, they communicate through the rendezvous node which doesn't know who the client or server are (because both are connected through Tor circuits and neither reveals the .onion URL that was looked up in the HSDir).

The way the statistics work is that some Tor relays opt-in to sharing statistics about how many HSDir lookups happened through them, and then those figures are extrapolated to figure out how many .onion service accesses happen. The relay doesn't know which service is being looked up, and the rendezvous node doesn't know which service is being talked to.
Thanks for the feedback, I will add that feature in an update!
Why do you deem all use of facial recognition to be immoral? Is it more moral to only allow the governments access to this tech? Are there really no consumer friendly applications of facial recognition?

I'm sure there are and the only way we can explore these benefits is to allow the population access to the technology.
Seattle already has a comical amount of human waste composting on the streets. Might as well make it legal to leave the bodies there too.
Here's the start of the Wycliffe Bible from the 14th century:

> In þe firſte made God of nouȝt heuene and erþe. Þe erþe forſoþe was veyn wiþ ynne and void, and derkneſſis weren vpon þe face of þe ſee; and þe ſpiryt of God was born vpon þe watrys. And God ſeide, Be maad liȝt; and maad is liȝt.

NIV Bible (20th century):

> In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
All the other inner planets and asteroids are dry, but Earth is wet, so it’s always been a bit of a mystery where the water came from.
How many people actually used Python's MSI library?

It was Windows-only (presumably a wrapper around the native tooling), and was primarily for creating Python's own installer, which apparently doesn't get built as an MSI anymore.
I'm wondering if that crank would work for a leftie?
Sounds like you want a laptop.
You don't even need tablet mode. When working in Windows when I need to absolutely concentrate, I just maximize the window and mute notifications.

Your story is almost identical to mine - years of hosting on a VPS a bunch of small family/project mostly-Wordpress sites. I simply exported them and uploaded to Netlify+Github. I haven't really bothered keeping the connection from the back-end to a dynamic export but have kept those pieces in place for another wet weekend.
I’ve noticed that lots of accounts that post dismissive, low-content comments like yours have an “about“ section in their user profile that matches the exact format of

Complete with the opening and closing brackets.

Why is that?

Isn't LoC an outdated metric for... pretty much anything? Without context, the LoC doesn't really tell us anything. Also is this code that was simply added, or just moved over from somewhere else? We need more information!!

Yep, I figured out the issue to do with URL encoding for a few special characters. I already fixed it and submitted the update to Apple for review. It should be available tomorrow! Sorry about the inconvenience.
I have an iPad Pro 13" and I do love it for some tasks, most of all, as a portable photo album, as photography is a big hobby of mine. From the hardware perspective, it could be the portable dream laptop replacement. Perfect screen, great battery life, small device. Where it is completely held back is the software:

- a lot of small things. Picture in picture is a great feature, but it works inconsitently between apps, with some not at all, and why can't I arbitrarily size the video and put it into the corners? While per default watching a video/tv program rather small, I would like to have the ability to enlarge the picture, if something interesting comes up.

- multitasking: haven't really been able to use that. 50:50 works sometimes, 75:25 usually is too small for the 25 part, should allow at least 66:33, if not completely flexible. Same for the hover over app, should allow for larger sizes.

- file management: this is really painful, so many limitations in that area. No ability to copy files from an attached USB stick or SD card into iCloud. No general ability to move files between apps, even if those in principle support the file type. No ability to add a video to the TV app from iCloud, none to add songs to the music app.

- applications: if your productive use of the iPad fits to one app from the app store: congratulations, if not, you are basically out of luck. There does not seem to be even a MUD client available for iPads. "Blink" is a pretty great SSH client, the best I found so far, but based on html rendering...

Why isn't there a version of Termux for the iPad? It allows so many quick usages, it really adds a lot of productivity. If Apple doesn't trust app programmers with such a thing, why don't they offer a port themselves in a proper sandbox? I don't need to access the system files, a small chroot jail would be fine (perhaps with iCloud drive mounted?). Of course, given the power of the iPad, why not a small "Linux" app with a Wayland desktop? Apple, if you think that would be a big replacement for paid apps, that says a lot about the app universe :p

And of course: a development environment. If general software development is too "dangerous" for an iPad, why is there no App creation environment? A self hosted environment would rock. Anyone remembers what Visual Basic 1-6 did for Windows? Why isn't there an equivalent on the iPad? Anyone at Apple ever saw a SmallTalk system? Just give Alan Kay a call, if you can't google it :p

And of course: I like the smart keyboards, but how comes that at Apple no one understands the need for the ESC key and to a lesser extend the function keys, if you are advertising a "professional" device?
Thanks for creating it. I won’t switch for one major UX reason: the controls. There is insufficient contrast between them and the content, and they float over the content. It is too distracting. I am using your dark mode on an X. Also the content goes into the status bar. I personally prefer dedicated, highly contrasted control areas. Maybe I am just old.
I think it would add unacceptable weight. And the mechanical stress would probably cause a redesign of the whole product. You don’t want the screen to crack the first time your 8 year-old gets a little enthusiastic about winding it.
100% agree with this take. I mentioned it in another comment, but I've actually been working on a project which is essentially a better search engine for programming questions that's integrated in your IDE.

When possible, you try to pull out code snippets from SO/github/reference sites/etc that answer the query with high confidence. (Essentially like "instant answers" in google, but making it better by focusing on programming questions.)

The challenge is the level of noise and ambiguity that you get back in search results, and actually sorting through that to surface the right answers.
To be fair, it dates from 1992. I don't think PyPi existed at the time, it's rather impressive the Core team supported this for so long.
Thanks for that link - an interesting set of ideas! Do you have any insight if these proposed solutions have gone through further testing/green lighting? Could a power plant solution like this be used for terrestrial remote research facilities?

Actually I think you are right too. I think it has to do with the upvote button’s hit area being too small so sometimes it overflows to outside the button and collapses the thread instead. I will see what I can do to fix it.
The functionality is almost less than trivial. It's like, trading 3 lines of super straightforward code for one line of import statement and a library dependency.

Pretty sure it tries to emulate awk's programming model, but even if I had a use for that I'd rather write these 3 lines of code myself - so the code is actually clear without looking at documentation, and so that it can be modified easily.
56miles, and 600 stops.

The latter sounds like the limiting factor, where I live the garbage truck stops at every house on the block, which very quickly adds up.

The question that seems to remain unanswered in the article is whether the truck fits into the existing working patterns or will require a second truck charging while the crew is utilizing the first.
This looks neat. It reminds me of what you might get if Nintendo built the GameBoy today with similar tech constraints (BW screen, only two buttons, motion controls, etc.)
Urkel was into engineering and science and such, right? I mean IIRC he built that machine that turned him into Stefan. Maybe a robot at one point? Dunno, that's long enough ago to be pretty fuzzy, but I remember "making stuff with math and science shit" being among his nerdy traits.
A really good definition of government that I've heard is "an organization that has a monopoly on force." There's probably more that I'm forgetting but I think that definition is important because it's something that people often forget or choose to ignore.
