I wouldn't worry too much about your elo, if you're enjoying it you're gonna get a lot better. For the longest time people didn't even have the internet to get better and had to spend big $$ to get coaching.

To get better you need to first master the endgame so you don't throw won games, then learn what kinds of midgame positions (tactical vs positional) you enjoy best so you can then pick a few openings you like.
yes, it’s an absurdly out of touch pro-capitalist propagandistic article.

what really puts the cherry on top is that a market crash is expected soon, with much less ability to cushion it than last time. guess what market crashes due to median wages? very bad things! and the people who own lots of capital will see their fortunes recover soon enough as everyone else is cleaned out. so things look very tentatively positive now and will be very bleak in a couple years.
Breach of trust... Lowers the reputation of whoever rescinds. If a company does this they get a bad rep and fewer applicants. A employee does this and it might get around costing them job offers elsewhere.
If you want to comment on a post on a different instance, you need to know what is going on at some trivial level to get the addressing/login right.

> their demand is still going strong.

This is what's not clear, and a major risk factor for them. I think Musk views 35k as the inflection point where quantity demanded sky rockets and he's not been able to get there. Seems like a lot of decisions were made based on assuming that would happen by 2019.

If men evolved to be bigger and stronger, as measured in some peak power output, surely there's a price on that? The candle that burns twice as bright burns twice as fast as the saying goes.

Also, the article is mainly about one woman. It mentions that the gap has narrowed but in order to have any meaningful analysis we'd need more stats.

Also, many, many people run marathons. So narrowing gap makes sense due to increased participation rate and better training; men and women aren't that different, on average. The extremes though are where differences truly manifest themselves.

Sounds reasonable to me. I've been eating keto for a long time and I always feel like I have fat energy reserves to draw on. I wonder if keto-adapted men and women would outperform carb-adapted counterparts in ultra-endurance.

Just an engineering aside, you'd probably want braces to engage the train rather than the train to lower. If it lowers you have to raise it before it starts again which would require extra energy and substantial force.
> i keep mine strictly indoors for peace of mind

In the Rest of the World you do have some cats kept indoors the whole time but it is not the normal thing to do. Only in America are they de-clawed, kept inside an apartment for their whole life and not given special 'cat' rights to do things like climbing really 'dangerous' cat ladders.

Cats very much have their own patch to patrol. Their home is there for them come feeding time. Despite being portrayed as antisocial they do interact with other cats in occupying this larger territory.

In a society where people let their cats patrol their territory it seems cruel keeping them indoors. In a street with lots of cats you would let yours out too. But if all the cats are locked away and not able to roam then you would lock your cat away too.

Interesting how Switzerland also has much more cat friendly traffic than what you get in America. Maybe this is why America has become this place where people lock up cats and daren't let them roam freely.
It's indeed not possible to make merge mistakes in Pijul, in the sense that the order between lines is always preserved: if line A comes before B in one repository, A will be before B in all repositories that have these two lines.

Moreover, merge is associative, which is the intuitive idea of a "good merge", in the sense that merging your patches one by one is the same as merging them all at once (this is false in Git).

In Pijul you can't "make mistakes rebasing". A repository is a set of patches (set as in maths), you can add patches or remove patches from the set, and that's about it. Two repositories with the same set of patches (possibly applied in different orders) are totally equivalent (in particular they have the same file contents).

So, rebasing in this case would be just the operation of adding some patches and removing others, and hence you can't make mistakes doing that, because there is no manual merge operation needed (of course you still need to solve your conflicts).
Even buying the burn rate in the title, Tesla's losses are like 8% of revenue. That's not at all far off from where Amazon and Google were in their early years. Again, it's not that there isn't an accounting worry here, what concerns me is the... hate. Just the visceral hate about this company that wants it to fail so badly that it leads people to apply these crazy double standards.

This ignores the fact that EVs are currently the only viable path towards road-based transport that is compatible with the continued existence of our species.

As a former surgical resident, can reluctantly confirm. I've had many conversations half-asleep where I've afterwards been slightly uncertain of whether I just had a conversation with someone or was dreaming.

That said though, those situations generally concern relatively safe decisions, like minor pain killer dosage adjustments.
If what the nurse calls about is sufficiently serious, adrenaline kicks in - and that thing can get you going really fast.

Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if some of the most expensive (in telomeric sense) part of residency is exactly that; the situations of mobilization from near-zombie sleep state to hypervigilance within seconds.

Naturally residency can and should be organized better than it is, but there are reasons why things are fundamentally organized the way they are as well. From a resident's perspective, on-call time primarily buys you time for elective surgeries - where the real learning happens.
That makes sense; if it makes any difference I don’t necessarily mean “take code from X and drop it in” so much as “if the consensus appears to be that the X api is better then add that to stdlib”. I like that notion of adding the X api, or parts thereof, And then having a third party X+ package. Maybe I just like the idea of something I built being “worthy” of stdlib.
There's actually very substantial differences in the metabolism inside of muscles for men and women. Nobody realized this because literally every study that created baselines for what was going on inside the muscles in relation to the metabolites that ended up in the blood was done with men. So when women were later included in studies they just used the blood workup or VO2 to estimate energy expenditure and the like, and it turns out those are nearly completely wrong.

Long story short, women switch to catabolism way earlier than men, while they still have glycogen inside their muscles. Men don't switch to catabolism until after they are completely out of glycogen and are creating fucktons of lactic acid. Since your muscles run on glycogen, and lactic acid is not a great thing to have kicking around, women actually appear to have a better metabolism for endurance.

Unfortunately a lot of doctors and researchers are men, and are extremely dismissive of the idea that there is any reason to actually study women, instead inventing behavioral reasons for why you don't always get the same results for men and women in studies.

I think the fact that you are willing to chalk up the fact that women are winning these races on occasion to there not being enough elite runners has signs of a similar chauvanism.

(This is mostly off the top of my head, but I have a degree in biology and I have studied metabolism fairly extensively)

This seems like essentially a race to the bottom to claim that 'you can't truly be burned out unless you did X terrible job'. For example, your complaints about working conditions would likely make my parents laugh, because they would spend weeks out at sea working essentially 24/7 as fishermen in order to bring home a large enough haul to make the trip worth it. Not to mention the time spent traveling to Alaska and being away from home for months at a time.

Obviously blue collar work is going to be harder than white collar, but that doesn't change the fact that working conditions for each job can still be terrible relative to the type of work it's located in. It's the same for blue-collar work where not all blue-collar work is going to be equally difficult.
Ask HN: How to learn a large code base quickly
Hi -

I have joined a team with a large code base (written in Java) that I am trying to ramp up quickly on. I am able to navigate using the IDE and do the small bug fixes. However, I feel that I am unable to see the architecture completely to provide valuable input in design discussions.

Any tips on learning a large code base quickly?

Thank you!
Elsewhere in the comments someone dug up the stats: they earn one third the mean wage in that region. That's how what I'd expect given that they're making something that costs over three times their monthly salary and has a 30%+ margin.
> The professional exam (country's CPA equivalent) is structured like this so yeah we structured your exams to intentionally & artificially create stress.

Even on second and third thought this seems insane. I can understand doing it on something that turns out to be relatively inconsequential as a learning experience, but doing it for people's PEs and final exams? That sounds like a great way to overwhelm every possible feature related to engineering quality in favor of "how well do they survive an unrealistically horrible stress-test". Because, like you said, nobody dies if you screw up. Being able to handle acute stress is not that useful for a civil engineer or similar. Teaching people to handle chronic stress? Maybe, but the research I see says that there is no way to deal with chronic stress and even attempting it damages you, potentially permanently. Acute stress, nope.

Sharing business logic between models/controllers/views often leads to a mess.

There's a reason to just write business logic code at only ONE place, the controller.

You'll thank yourselves years later when you revisited your code. Just one place to look for.

> Don't you see Tesla cars everywhere in the US?

No I don't, might see one once a week or month. They're common in Silicon Valley but that's a small fraction of the US.

edit: Tesla has sold something like 300k cars in the US which comes out to under 0.15% of all cars in the US. So basically, negligible. And a third to a half of that seems to have been in California. So in most of the US you'd need to look at on average 2000 cars before you see a Tesla.
This is something I see a lot. When people say "my plumber makes $200k/year" what they mean is the guy who owns a plumbing business they use makes that much money. Very few blue collar workers that aren't also small business owners make over $100k/year and it can be pretty hard to get the gigs that do (usually require having many years of experience and being in the union in a particular area like NYC, or having a very rare specialty). The only "easy" way to break $100k/year as a blue collar worker is to work lots of overtime, which isn't exactly an apples-to-apples comparison with white collar jobs
>You might not like this line of argument, but it's not a "conspiracy theory" since it's well-supported.

But it isn't. You just asserted it. I don't dispute the facts at hand, but you can't just link those together and assert causality when there is no evidence for it .

>It's disingenuous to completely dismiss the role of political influence on a government decision.

I don't know what to do with that. There is no evidence and everyone disputes the corrupt link you assert. Not only that, there is an alternative explanation: the Linux deployment wasn't popular, killed productivity, and wasn't cheap to maintain. What you're doing is the definition of FUD.

Self driving and electric cars have been in development for a long time. Mercedes Benz in the 1980s was testing automated driving on empty streets in Munich.

The difference between Tesla and others isn't that Tesla somehow was the first to come up with these ideas, they were the first to attempt to run a car company like a startup and marketing themselves as a disruptor.

Which in a sense is true because it brought the products to the forefront, but there's a reason that hadn't happened before, because a car manufacturer actually needs to make money on the existing markets. No use in pushing a good idea before the time is right.

I recall reading in an older running book (maybe one of Jeff Galloway's) something along the lines of: because of physiological differences, in theory women may be able to outperform men in ultra-high mileage events. I suspect the author of this piece is overstating the "conventional wisdom" of the running community.
The Model 3 and even the X can barely be considered expensive sport sedans. The first is a low end lux compact, the second is an expensive SUV or crossover. Only the model S is in that category.

In Beijing, I saw a lot of Model S’s on the road in the year before I left. These people would have been driving Audi A5+ or an S-class if it wasn’t for Beijing’s plate lottery (you can get a car quicker if it’s an EV). As far as that goes, the Model S is a good strategy outside of the USA where people aren’t so SUV crazed.
All of that is just companies making errors, not intentionally foregoing profits.

> It isn't like there is a ranking of "what company in this field made the most profit", and then all of them other than the top 1 or 2 are immediately destroyed each month.

The process is not that quick, but in principle, this is exactly how markets work. The most profitable companies undercut all others, which then go under. Provided markets work, that is.
You'll find that comments like this will attract downvotes here. Even if your perception is valid, expressing it like in these terms is something that HN doesn't tolerate. I'm not sure if there is actually a way to reframe it more constructively in this case. You might just have to grin and bear it.
I've been in similar, though not quite the same, situations, and I've come to suspect that it's a full-on case of “let other people think they came up with the solution themselves.” For which I've got pretty much no skill at all.

But placing logic in the controllers means you need to get a rails controller to test your business logic. This may seem fine in a small application, but as an app grows it becomes a headache to need to tie all your business rules to your framework.

> the analogy he draws is the correct one: the sun actually works

Under, as I said, very different conditions from those which Earthbound fusion reactors are attempting. The only meaningful similarity between the two is that both are fusion reactions. You certainly cannot use numbers for the Sun to make any valid estimates about Earthbound fusion reactors, as the poster I responded to was attempting to do.

> Earthbound" controlled nuclear fusion doesn't in any meaningful way relating to energy production.

It hasn't yet, but that doesn't mean it never will. If it does, it certainly will not be by reproducing conditions similar to those that produce fusion in the Sun. And if your criticisms of fusion power turn out to be valid and it never works, then everything the poster I responded to said is irrelevant anyway, since he was assuming fusion power would work.

> If you can do controlled nuclear fusion, you have a really, really scary weapon.

No, you don't, because, as I said, only a very small amount of fuel is in the reactor at any given time--enough for a few seconds' worth of energy production. That equates to the energy equivalent of a few tons of TNT, not a few megatons. And since the entire system is designed to remove that amount of energy at that rate, concerns about even that few tons of TNT energy equivalent "exploding" are invalid--that amount of fuel undergoing complete fusion and liberating all that energy is what the reactor is designed for, not an abnormal condition. And, as I said, all you need to do to stop energy production is stop injecting fuel, and the reactor shuts down.

Again, a fusion reactor is very different from a fusion bomb.
What are some good reasons that things are organized this way?

I’ve heard that long shifts help with continuity as fewer doctors need to pass information about the same patient thus reducing communications overhead a bit. Anything else?

If only that, it seems the drawbacks in terms of risks to care quality as well as to the resident’s learning & long-term health may be greater than the benefits.
There may be language specific advice, but honestly, you have to go through the entire thing and learn every single line. Most people are okay with just absorbing every little piece they can when they get assigned specific tickets associated with the sprints they are working on, but to really learn the apparatus you have to just learn how the whole thing works.

Of course starting at serializers and then going to routing, etc may seem very bad from a learning-organizational POV, but that's what you have to do to learn the entire application stack.

Is this a web app? Maybe there's better advice depending on the specific piece of software in question but at the end of the day you have to master the paradigm before being able to contribute in a meaningful way.
Producing the parts would also become commoditized. A major cost factor in lots of high tech research (see also: spacecraft) is that the parts are made individually, so they need to be designed/engineered/tested roughly individually and built from essentially scratch.
1/3rd of people diagnosed with ASD are non-verbal.
56% would have an IQ below 85, 83% would have a other developmental, neurologic, chromosomal, and genetic conditions, with down syndrome, fragile X syndrome and tuberous sclerosis accounting for about 10% of these.

https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/67/ss/ss6706a1.htm

Overall this varies based on how many things you tack into the ASD, with PDD-NOS being thrown out of the DSM in 2013 it would take probably another decade if the needle moved.
That is not really a counter point though. I mean, education is part of a municipality, it makes up around 15% of our work force, and you’re right, they could probably be switched to Linux.

That doesn’t really make sense though, because our IT staff can’t support it, so we would need 1-2 guys extra which is more expensive than the windows licenses for 1200 employees.
My bank informs me that they would charge between £6 and £10 to accept such a cheque as payment into my account - depending on exactly the amount, how it was issued and so on.
