> The stories are too easy to guess

Boy, you'd really be put out by classical theatre and opera (and commedia dell'arte, and rakugo, and...). Everyone in the audience of such shows has likely already seen the exact same story performed before, line for line! (And don't get me started about church services...)

Seriously, though: sometimes the point isn't to tell you something new, but to deliver a polished retelling of a well-known story that the production company loves, for a new audience.
I sense a lot of exaggeration in hn regarding the likelihood of armed intervention in the relationship between hk<>mainland. China has nothing to gain from overt belligerence with its own special region which is clearly regulated by legal framework (unlike Taiwan).

I support the cause of Hong Kongers, the general the idea of maintaining both their political and social difference within greater China. I even accept that some political movements in Hk exaggerate the possible threats of Mainland to aid their political cause (considering Mainland might and their track record of intervention in other regions - the threat narrative has factual backing).

But what is happening in HK is the democratic expression of a unequal (politically) society and it will be workout politically and not militarily.
"Science is facing a 'reproducibility crisis' where more than two-thirds of researchers have tried and failed to reproduce another scientist's experiments, research suggests."

As such, this would seem to be a common occurrence and Science would have to decide whether to devote equal attention to every failed reproduction.

"An order on the set of finite rooted trees is defined recursively: we first order the subtrees joined to the root in decreasing order, and then use lexicographic order on these ordered sequences of subtrees. In this way the set of all finite rooted trees becomes a well-ordered set which is order-isomorphic to ε0." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epsilon_numbers_(mathematics)#...)

and yes, growth rates of fast-growing functions are an important facet of this analysis.

EDIT: you should think of a rooted tree as coding an ordinal written in Cantor normal form (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordinal_arithmetic#Cantor_norm...) using only ordinals less than or equal to omega.

In fact, here's a nice thesis that sets it out: https://folk.uio.no/alfredb/Masteroppgave%20Alfred%20Bratter...
It sounds like they gave up after Science wouldn't send it out for peer review themselves; whether it's a replication or a refutation, it is not yet even peer reviewed, much less published.

I don't think they provide any compelling reasons why the same journal is obligated to publish replications of any arbitrary study they've published in the past. It wouldn't exactly scale.
Haha, not so bad as loss of H2 containment (as seen IRL in Norway) ... and of course farmers deal with it every day.

Although most of those could be studios or 1 bedroom, not good for families.

Ask HN: I work from home and my dog looks depressed
As the title says. I fortunately was able to score a web development job from home a couple of months ago. I love it and have no complaints.

But my dog? Not so much. I have meetings; I have work to do; I can't play with him all day. 4 year old american bulldog / pitbull mix.

I make it a point to take him to a walk at the dog park on lunch pending the weather.

I give him a little food when I have lunch or a snack.

But otherwise, he lays there looking all depressed all day.

What'd you do when working from home?
I second this. At one time, I thought that I was improving myself by getting new information but the reality is that I crave new information just because. It hasn't been until lately that I have concluded that information for the sake of information is useless. Reading a book is just entertainment unless you put the new knowledge into action. Reading news articles is only useful if they help you in some way.

Also, putting knowledge into action does not feel as good as getting a quick hit of news. But over the long run reducing the amount of new information and doing something with what you learn makes you happier and more satisfied with your life.

If you haven't figured this out yet, keep this in mind before you get lost in a sea of information without a goal. Think of a junkie always looking for the next hit. Except that it's news not a drug.

You can't really "front run" a retail order. Front running means you (assuming you are an agency broker) get a big market moving order from a customer, do a trade in your own account first (in the same direction as the customer order), then execute the customer order which moves the market in your favor.

Retail orders are small and generally aren't capable of moving prices. Your order for 100 shares of whatever isn't going to move the price so you can't really make money ahead of it.
There IS currently a pro-Firefox sentiment on HN. But like most things here, it operates on a pendulum.

* Sentiment was sharply NEGATIVE not so long ago... when Firefox cut off support for the legacy plugin ecosystem.

* Sentiment was POSITIVE not so long before that... when Quantum shipped. Improving performance, and delighting the Rust crowd.

* Sentiment was NEGATIVE not so long before that... as Mozilla was too distracted by mobile OS misadventures, and Firefox's performance had become awful relative to its competitors.

* Sentiment was POSITIVE not so long before that... as Mozilla was the only voice somewhat pushing against DRM in HTML5 standards.

And so on.

At any rate, I don't think you're being downvoted due to a pro-Firefox brigage. I think you're being downvoted because you are posting in an immature "Reddit" style, without contributing much of interest to the discusion, and that style generally does not fare well here.

This looks cool! I'm curious: did you consider using FUSE for this, instead of taking a shell? Using FUSE might make installation harder for less technical users, but the upside is that they could use their choice of file manager (shell commands, curses-based or GUI).

As you've already implemented most relevant commands (cd, ls, cat), it would probably be easy to make a FUSE version using fs-fuse / fuse-bindings

I feel exactly the same. I am still surprised by the broadness and complexity of software projects I engaged in when much younger (under 18). At some point I was writing a videogame (programming a sprite editor from scratch in Borland Pascal, writing the game in Borland C), designing and writing a multi-tasking operating system in Z80 (where I remember having to come up tricks such as pushing the address to jump to on the stack and using "ret" because there was no mechanism to jump to a runtime defined address) and participating in programming contents at the national level (where, in one instance, I "invented" backtracking without even realizing what it was until much later). I could learn a new programming language in a month, write thousands of lines of code in a few more weeks and make connections between the different languages, styles, challenges and come up with solutions based on the broadness of that knowledge. To this day (20 years later) I still reference things I learned back then when I find patterns/similarities in day to day programming work. Haven't been able to broaden my knowledge much since, motivation has taken a huge dive and I spend almost no time at all improving these skills outside of work.

On one hand their research is important and should be published. On the other hand, do they have a right to demand it to be published in the most prestigious journal in the world? High-profile journals reject good articles all the time for various reasons. Especially "the field has moved on" is a grating reason for rejection but is used all the time.

I think this is a common feeling, but I also think it's usually wrong.

It's no surprise that most 22 year olds think they're brilliant. But are they actually? Sometimes, yes, but usually, no.

I think with age comes a bit more humility about one's own brilliance. Perhaps because we find the limits of our own knowledge and we also meet others that truly are brilliant in some regard, which makes us question our own brilliance.

When looking back, it's normal to take our old high self-regard as real -- and compare it to our current, more realistic self-regard. But in fact, our youthful cockiness was often unearned.
China have only achieved this result using fundamental science, technology and engineering concepts that were invented in the US, Europe, and Japan, with the unfair advantage of ultra cheap labour costs.

Cheap data is probably the driver of this, but I've noticed a number of my friends and family from India love to send picture messages, videos and GIFs every morning to ALL of their contacts, simply wishing them "good morning friends". Then same again in the evening - "good night friends". It's a bit weird to be honest, and it wouldn't surprise me if the data added up to a significant number!

I want to show a bit of appreciation for a website that loads in 50ms. Thanks for keeping it simple, Cliff.
In general they don't have a right to demand it. However, in this case it is a direct refutation of a previous article that the journal published. At the very least their refutation deserves to be evaluated by a peer review process and considered for publication. In fact, I will go further, if a paper directly refutes older work in a journal, then that journal probably DOES have an obligation to publish it as long as it is done at least as well as the original.

The claim that the field has moved on is complete garbage and nonsense. It is farcical on its face. The older work is still being quoted.

This is an interesting discussion but I'm unfortunately out of time now. I'd only point that most of science is abductive, rather than inductive, and that the whole concept of refutation will take us to discuss what is scientific _advance_
Somewhat the same as you. Even though I have a very expensive home theater setup, it just can't compete with the theaters, plus theres the whole not wanting to wait for a bluray release - which might not even have the same quality or audio.

Yeah, sadly private prisons are like that. You could even go buy stock in prisons too. So then I guess if you are a shareholder you'd wish for more crime as it'd be in your best interest for your prisons you invested in to be successful. Pretty sad to actually have to hope for crimes.

Pretty interesting though they allow access to computers. Never heard of that. I always imagined reading dusty old law books if your prison has a library and writing things down by hand. However some lawbook's are very outdated, there's some old book often cited claiming you don't need a driver license to drive because you aren't in commerce... Yeah try that one with a cop and I doubt it will go very well for you.

I like to watch Orange Is the New Black on Netflix and they pretty much did an entire season about private prisons. I've already knew a bit about them though but maybe talking about them in a comedy might get people thinking or doing their own research.

So many messed up things going on in the world though, I doubt many people have enough time to even care or know what to even do to help make things better.
Yes and no. This is great example of why some of the rhetoric about undefined behavior in C is misleading.

This is fundamentally an FFI issue. The C compiler is relying on the function signature declared, explicitly or implicitly, by the person writing the binding code. But this declared signature is wrong, and because it's wrong C says that the behavior when invoking the routine is undefined--undefined behavior.

Other languages would have the exact same result. If you told Rust that the FFI prototype for a FORTRAN routine was foo(pointer-to-char) instead of foo(pointer-to-char, size_t), you'd get the exact same broken runtime behavior as with the C code. But Rust never defines this as "undefined behavior". Rust's behavior is no less undefined in the practical sense, it just don't formalize the concept in its specification, such as it is. Like most languages it side steps the issue because it's a thorny area for a specification, especially thorny now that the literal phrase "undefined behavior" elicits reactionary flames from the peanut gallery. If you say nothing you're not inviting criticism, nor are you burdened with managing yet another dimension of consistency in your specification.

There are problems with "undefined behavior" in C, how it works in the standard and especially how compilers use it to shift blame for insecure semantics. The problems are just nuanced and technical and can't be constructively discussed outside specific contexts. And especially in discussions comparing C to different languages, these problems get conflated with orthogonal issues like type safety.

EDIT: For context here are some relevant citations to C11 itself:

C11 (N1570) 3.4.3p1: "undefined behavior [is] behavior, upon use of a nonportable or erroneous program construct or of erroneous data, for which this International Standard imposes no requirements"

C11 (N1570 3.4.3p2: "NOTE Possible undefined behavior ranges from ignoring the situation completely with unpredictable results, to behaving during translation or program execution in a documented manner characteristic of the environment (with or without the issuance of a diagnostic message), to terminating a translation or execution (with the issuance of a diagnostic message)."

C11 (N1570) 4p2: "If a ‘‘shall’’ or ‘‘shall not’’ requirement that appears outside of a constraint or runtime-constraint is violated, the behavior is undefined. Undefined behavior is otherwise indicated in this International Standard by the words ‘‘undefined behavior’’ or by the omission of any explicit definition of behavior. There is no difference in emphasis among these three; they all describe ‘‘behavior that is undefined’’."
A quick search on google search history trends show this statement: "It seems like a common problem" is "simply not true". Searching for firefox and freeze decreased significantly over the years.

I wouldn't worry about it. Every study I've seen on the matter has clearly stated that it's a relatively small effect and is dwarfed by improved knowledge and experience. Overall intellectual performance is still rising at that point.
What I don't follow - and this is where I "side" with the authors - is how Science says the field has advanced past that paper if it hasn't been refuted yet and keeps being cited
> It may depend on the definition of red, [...] Cadmium red, lead tetroxide, cinnabar

For that matter, iron oxide (rust) technically qualifies.
They do it all the time, out of the furnace comes crude iron, which then must be moved to the steelmaking plant. It is cast into bars only at the steel plant. The carbon dissolved in crude iron lowers the melting point substantially, it's around 1200 °C, so you can actually transport it in steel vessels.

This is too simplistic. Certain types of intellect seem to peak around there, like mathematical ability, but other types of intellect such as emotional intelligence or verbal skills (think nobel prize winning author) peak much much later in life - certainly into our 50's.
