So many people complain about the characters...but when I was a student at Caltech pretty much everything that people complain is unrealistic or wrong about nerds on BBT was there in people I knew. It's just more concentrated in the BBT characters whereas it was spread among a dozen or two people that I knew.

What bugs me as a Caltech alum is that Sheldon had an office at one point that had a geology lab directly above on the next floor, which is ridiculous.
My background is mostly .NET and web. I like VS Code a lot for JS/TS, but I hesitate to recommend it for C#. Using it about a year ago, I felt like I was missing a lot of the power of "real" Visual Studio and many language features were fairly buggy on my Mac.
I disagree about Redis. Redis Labs did a great job at creating an ecosystem of advanced things around Redis. But the Redis core project itself, that is what most people use, is surely sponsored for a big part by Redis Labs, but is executed as a completely OSS community driven project:

1. All the work is done in public, with a license that gives zero protection to the original authors.

2. The project leder (myself) only does OSS work and has no other roles in the sponsoring company.

3. The roadmap is decided by the community (myself with feedbacks from the community), not a company or some product manager or alike.

4. There are multiple people from multiple companies contributing regularly code to Redis: Redis Labs, Alibaba, AWS, ...

5. The main web site is handled by the community.

In the case of Redis this was possible because of the minimality of the project, otherwise I agree that's a huge challenge. But still IMHO Redis deserves to be listed in such "purely community" OSS projects.
thang's videos are awesome - quick, simple and to-the-point, and quite prolific in volume.
to be fair most tests in this benchmark are not real world. most stuff above 150.000 is basically cheating. .NET Core including. Which sane person would would write a whole app with

app.Run(async context =>
{
await context.Response.WriteAsync("Hello, World!");
});
> and native monitors

Are there any plans to fix those?

The point of the article is that people who are ostensibly progressive (and do vote that way state-wide and nationally) are actually reactionary jerks for local issues, yes.

They're all for helping the poor and working class, until it may bother them at home. Then it switches to the ol' "fuck you, got mine".

A great quote I remember reading about BBT (maybe in comments here on HN) was in relation to Arrested Development.

Big Bang Theory is a dumb show about smart people.
Arrested Development is a smart show about dumb people.

I've never been able to watch BBT. I could never get past the feeling that I was being laughed at.
Starting Strength also has an app, which includes access to the book and videos.
Uh sorry, Interactive Brokers is so cheap my math was off. They charge 0.2 basis points which is 0.2/100 of 1% (0.002%, minimum $2). So a $100,000 exchange would cost $2.00 and a $1,000,000 would cost $20.00
Politics, presumably. From HN guidelines:

"Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic."
It is not just Sheldon who is extremely sexist in their group. Here are Pop Culture Detective's video essays highlighting misogynistic and toxic-masculine behaviour of all these "nerd" characters:

Natural language is ambiguous. Grammars for computer languages are designed to remove ambiguity. A natural language that is used to program a computer, too, will have to remove ambiguity, thus only using a severely constricted subset of a natural language. Is it worth it beyond curiosity? If a person can't grok a computer language are they going to grok such a terse natural language?
Ha, so cool that you both ended up in the same end of the Sphinx! =)
A company needs to worry about licensing in every country it intends to sell its products...
Not particularly. Most large enterprise networks rely upon many more layers than the OS to protect and secure their infrastructure.

The cost and logistics involved in replacing legacy systems trumps the need/inability of highly skilled engineers to protect an old OS.

I loved the line from "The Good Shepard" when they ask why the article 'the' is never used when discussing CIA.

Omg, I so agree on this. I just did a project in flutter to test out out.

And some build vs compile bug for androidX kept popping up. Urgh.

Untill I removed a package that was added together with 4 others...

It did got a lot faster to emulate and hot loading is awesome as well. But MS development ( c#) is a massive pro versus Java/kotlin.
You want Go to be designed by the Internet equivalent of a cooperative? Isn't that how you get stuff like C++?

For some things Democracy is excellent (governance of nations, because it might be the least bad option). For other things a dictator is good (Amazon seems to be providing a lot of societal value under Chairman Bezos) . For yet other things perhaps a motivated group of technocrats might be better (Go).

I don't suggest I know the answer definitively. I could be wrong. But Go's results are good. Perhaps it would be fair for me to concede that I should examine this question again in 10 more years. What is good for 5-10 years might show problems in 20-50 years time.

After all, even communist North Korea was a relatively functional place for a time.

A character in Footfall (or was it Oath of Fealty?), by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle, composted the inconvenient body of someone he had murdered. I've wondered if that was practical and this article says affirmative. But for purposes of hiding a corpse I'd think it would be painfully slow to decompose. The man-eating pigs in Hannibal or Deadwood seem like a better bet, converting it quickly into fertilizer. But then you have to keep pigs.

Is it legal to feed a human corpse to pigs? Maybe it should be. It would seem to be eco-friendly.
Jewish law prohibits embalming, too. And tradition calls for a plain casket, usually pine, unlined, and with no metal parts (wooden pegs hold it together.)
Was this a burning issue to be resolved? I learn new things here every day.
SF also has a Payroll Tax, unlike most cities.
That was the whole point of that diatribe. It was out of place, which was why it was funny. I do know (and have been) people who have done this on this topic.
Fair enough, let's test this conversely:

The problem with a Capitalist Utopia is not in the ideas or in the policies, it lies with the simple fact that humans are the ones carrying those policies out. There's a good quote that sums it up: "power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely." Some group of people will be in charge, and that group of people will exploit the rest. Capitalism works great for small groups, but breaks down at the population level.

Works both ways, so you are not actually proving anything with your statement except showing your ideological blind spot.
In most big cities people just throw their dead pets in the trash. Morbid, but true. I don't see why human bodies would really be all that different.
There are two clear scenarios where this makes sense:

1. When the client code is content-addressed, and that content addressing is enforced by the browser
e.g. https://ipfs.io/ipfs/Qmfgh... with browsers supporting dweb protocols natively as Firefox is working on

2. When the web ui is served over localhost from an app you've downloaded and can independently verify. This could be a local only app, or it could be a p2p app.
I apologize for being unclear. My intent was not to suggest that static type checking (and more broadly, static analysis) were not useful tools in catching errors early. Rather, I wanted to emphasize that other techniques could be used to mitigate the risks associated with change, such that the reliance on static analysis could be minimized. In that sense, both static analysis and the mitigation techniques help prevent the angry commenter from waking up to 4am alarms in prod.

Hey thank you. I’ll look into it. I did have excellent results with simply reducing my baseline stimulation, thereby making normal things more interesting. I stopped watching TV and playing video games for almost six months, didn’t listen to the radio in the car, tried to have quiet as much as possible.

But it was also difficult because it was easy to slide back into old habits, and the ADHD would come back. For me it definitely seems to be a sensitization issue, the more generally stimulated I am the more difficult it is to do much of anything aside from the absolute most stimulating things.
The only case that obfuscating code from the user is useful for is DRM. That's not what end-to-end encryption is about. End-to-end encryption is about allowing two users to send messages to each other using keys of users that each user owns on their own device, so no server in the middle can eavesdrop. That use-case isn't impacted by each user being able to reverse-engineer the code they're running. It's probably better if the code they're running is open-source so they can possibly verify it or get someone else to verify it for them.

>> But a series where the main characters are all the butts of the joke

While I get that there's a pecking order even among nerds, I'm frequently put off by how badly the main characters treat Stuart, the comic shop owner.
This is basically it. Particularly in the US where a burial has become astonishingly crass and perverse.

The size of the plot and headstone. The common use of heavyweight steel for coffins that can delay decomposition even longer. Concrete grave linings. Cremation is no better from an impact perspective.

I think they may be aiming for corpses that hang around as long as ancient Egypt achieved. :)
It doesn’t. Composting and burying leaves for example aren’t the same thing.

Composting provides extra oxygen and whatever other steps are necessary to accelerate the decomposition process.

A buried body can last many years, especially if it’s several feet into the clay layer.

Try it. Bury a cat or dog six feet under and come back in five years. If it’s common clay, a large percentage will still be there.
Remember that ITP's goal is to break all tracking to begin with, so assuming Apple successfully implements ITP to the degree they clearly intend to, this proposal is built on the ground principles of:

- no tracked link, iframe or not

- no campaign ids

- no conversion POST at all

- no view converstions, no non-last-click attributions

In that scenario, is this proposal an improvement? It sounds like an improvement. It's certainly more than the nothing that anyone will get from Apple's users without it. They didn't have to throw anyone a bone here, and they're going to take massive flak from a few users for doing so at all.

I imagine Apple would be thrilled if advertisers chose the destruction of the tracking-based advertising industry over using this offering. Perhaps advertisers will learn from the music industry's experiences trying to bury their head in the sand re: iTunes and pay attention and participate in designing this system. Perhaps they will not.
Why are people still embalmed? Is it a throwback from ancient Egyptian culture? It's absurd.
Or worse, Typescript.

Nothing but class files, many with one or two public func^H^H^H^H methods in each file, as far as the eye can see :-(

Yep, that's about what I calculated, too, recently. And considering that so many car accidents are caused by drunk drivers, nighttime driving, etc--that is, situations that one can actively avoid--a conscientious drive could likely even the odds or better, at least on a per journey basis. I bet the car accident rate for pilots is significantly below average.
That's unfortunate. The article offered an interesting new perspective to me and I don't think it's one that would generally be found on tv or elsewhere.
Hang on - doesn't that mean that every single chemical that was used in US cosmetics but not EU cosmetics would automatically be banned by Europe rather than the US, regardless of whether there was any particular reason it would be unsafe?
Cloudflare is an extremely-common service that does SSL-interception on tons of websites.

If I hosted a website (with some kind of user-messaging functionality) on Cloudflare, and I trusted Cloudflare to not modify the data that went through them, but I was worried that they may be recording all the data that went through them, then using a javascript end-to-end encryption library would be perfect for my case.

US infant mortality rate exceeds that of numerous "third-world" countries. Recently we were just ahead of Belarus, but they now have pulled ahead, well out of reach.

The US matches third-world countries in numerous other indicators, and is declining in most of them. This is not accidental; it is a direct consequence of choices made by those in power.

Nice landing page, it made it extremely clear what your product was and how I might use it.

I'm usually skeptical about programming language abstractions but from the demo it looks like this is more of a "helpful addition" then something you need to fully commit to which is interesting. I don't do a lot of Swift but will keep this in mind if I do. Best of luck!
It sounds like you're going to have to figure out how to do remote.
If you want to understand why this is bad just look at AppleScript, probably the closest thing I've ever seen to natural language, the only problem is that it's impossible to just figure something out if there isn't a tutorial, because there's no real convention you can make guesses based on.

Completely off-topic, but your assertion about the weight of charged batteries caught my attention. It would seem that E=mc^2 comes into play here. I believe charged batteries actually do weigh more than uncharged, though probably not by any measurable amount.

The constant downvotes and endless snarky comments that ignore the fact that 2 of the biggest companies on the planet are ad networks which have provided tremendous value to both customers and shareholders, and are a key ingredient in the marketing and growth of basically every business.

The ignorance that advertising itself is a fine model that subsidizes 99% of the content on the internet and allows for fast, easy, and egalitarian access for billions of people, as well as increased opportunity for creators of all kinds.

And finally the obliviousness to the technical and business solutions that already exist to make the experience better instead of going down an endless arms race where nobody wins.

Sorry, I was unclear: I meant “much the same thing on the timescales at which buried humans are likely to be disturbed”, so 50-100 years at a minimum.

We use PureScript for almost all frontend happening at my company, Lumi (YC W15). We're definitely biased towards functional programming since we use Haskell on the backend, and the creator of PureScript, Phil Freeman, works here as Director of Engineering.

Because it very much is. Blackface isn't bad because it's just stereotype driven mocking. It's bad because people in a position of power (white people) profited from pretending to be people who had none (black people) while simultaneously reinforcing stereotypes that help keep them powerless.

So if I want to use the SDK in a "fully" end-to-end secure way, I first need to implement by myself a secure way to transmit the user root secret (the unlock key) between the user's devices, and make sure this key is always accessible so that users don't loose access to their data. This doesn't seem like an easy task...

The reason I zeroed in on the word practical is that it is used as a way to put down people doing something different than you. Now you’ve used survival type situations as another way to put others down.

Body weight things are great, but they have limits. The best results are going to come from a mix of body weight, power lifting, and conditioning. Any lifting program I have ever done included pull ups, dips, and pushups. Weighted if possible.

Also, if survival is really the focus, BJJ should be first above all else :)
There's still a lot to be said about locker room cohesion. Just look at any of the teams managed by Jose Mourinho. His teams quit playing because of his management style. (I still think the players are wrong from this.) Once he's gone, that same crap performing squad suddenly start winning. Personalities are a huge thing in sports. The English national team is an example of having an enormous amount of talent on paper, but just didn't play well together as a team. (Until this most recent squad at the World Cup).
