I believe they try to put newer content first in order to make a more fair distribution of views. If you order results by popularity on yt, you will see that it uses just an "order by view count desc" (no relationship with like/dislike ratio), which is bad because it keeps popular some not so good quality videos published on first yt years.

BBC: Ceefax Behind the Scene (1975)
Cost of ownership is nuts. My car basically just sits, but I have to pay $1000 a year just to keep it legal. My bike was $50. And that was it.
Ew, no. That's horrible. The company I work for does a lot of shows. I generally do about 22/year. A common range is 9am to 5pm, but 10am to 4pm is not unheard of. 8am to 6pm happens from time to time and feels really bad. I think out of 60ish shows that I've done only one was 7am to 7pm.
Anecdata:

I live this, I agree with you. An MMO was the only thing in my life I've stayed up all night for and then been able to set an alarm and wake up for after 2 hours of sleep. This was a game I committed to for 14 years. I've slept through finals, been tardy my entire life, yet for this MMO I could do anything. I was "sick" instead of seeing my girlfriend, I was otherwise occupied instead of working, or school.

I made the conscious decision years ago to never install WoW for exactly this reason. In the same way AA teaches that an alcoholic is always an alcoholic but can be sober, I choose to stay sober. I miss it. I think about it. But I have to make the active, conscious decision to 'choose life'.
I question buzzfeed’s purposeful characterization as “angry”. We know “angry”-something is a dogwhistle. They should be better than using dog whistles when discussing grievances by a sizable population which feels like it’s sidelined, censored and worse in the workplace. This is right out of 50s red scare or Soviet politicking.

How does a large corp. like Google get away with having a sizeable portion of its workforce feel unsafe to disclose their politics and have conversations around that?

It’s stunning that people feel like they have to keep their political leanings secret lest their job of career bd jeopardized.

Most of these people are normal right-leaning republican types. They’re being painted unflatteringly as ultra right in order to demonize them.
Is this what they’re teaching in school these days? Market systems by definition by definition require freedom of transaction on both sides. Slavery is by definition not a market. In a very real sense, it was the industrial market economy of the north that beat the agrarian feudalist economy of the south into submission and freed the slaves.

(Also, slaves were never considered “3/5 of a person. The text of the relevant provision read:

> Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons.

In the above equation, slaves must count as a whole “person.” Otherwise, you’re multiplying 3/5 by 3/5. That’s just math and grammar. That’s leaving aside the fact that the whole point of this clause was to limit the power of slave states, and it would’ve been better for purposes of this clause to not count slaves as people at all, to further reduce the power of the south.)
OpenBSD: Why and How (2018)
Perhaps 2$ of the 5$ goes towards buying 10$ worth of food, and then 3$ of the 5$ goes to administrators, thus leading to two seemingly contradictory truths: most of the money you gave went towards paying administrators, and the charity used your 5$ towards your desired goal more effectively than you could have yourself.
If you are the lead, call a meeting, explain the tech stack that will be used, explain that their performance will be judged based on meeting deadlines using said tech stack, summarize this meeting in an email to your leadership, in this email explain meeting deadlines depends on using the tried and true tech stack you chose. If they refuse or come up with some contrived reasons why your plan won't work, methodically and politically knock those reasons down, institute daily stand up meeting where they have to explain progress or blocking issues. If employee misses deadlines they go on probation and then get fired. If management does not support you, find a new job then give your notice.

Not to mention, 1.2GB/s is still far faster than a SATA SSD that would be in many slightly larger laptops; those tend to top out around 550MB/s. I also doubt one would feel the difference from 1.2GB/s to last year's 2.0GB/s unless they are constantly reading a ton of data, not a normal use case for a device designed to be one's secondary computer.

It wasn't until Apple started putting PCIe SSDs in their computers that they became performant enough for stress-free everyday use (in my opinion). Just going from a spinning hard drive to a SATA SSD took my 2012 Mac mini from agonizing to acceptable. I've played around with newer Macs with PCIe storage, and the difference is night and day. They finally feel like real Unix workstations with nearly instant response to user input, and almost no spinning beachballs to be found.
> Section 230 absolutely has to go for order and justice to prevail.

For those who are unfamiliar with the reference, section 230 is a provision of a telecommunications act that gives legal immunity to platform providers that host user-provided content [0]. Getting rid of it would absolutely kill this site and 99.99% of similar sites by effectively requiring all user generated content to go through legal review. Absent review, a malevolently minded individual could post libelous or other illegal content on a website and have the site itself be sued. It would have a terribly chilling effect on the internet as we know it.

Erlang/BEAM has all that (and does it better)
The problem that I've observed is that people get too bogged down over the use of the word "addiction" to describe this phenomenon, contrasting their psychological effects with the physiological effects one normally finds in drug addicts. In the process what gets lost in this dismissal is that, regardless of mechanism, the consequences of excessive gaming (or similarly, excessive internet consumption) echo those of some of the hardest drugs: complete withdrawl from society, neglect for self-care, chronic sleep deprivation, and thieving to support their habit. Any nerd who went to college in the 00s knew people in their freshman year who dropped out from spending too much time in EverQuest or WoW. I myself had an epiphany in 2011 after having played the newly-released Skyrim for 100 hours in its first two weeks (and those numbers are tame by comparison). It took about eight years of cold-turkey for me to stop jonesing, literally jonesing for World of Warcraft.

As humans we have yet to develop ways to cope with an overabundance of mental stimulation, in much the same way that humans are still trying to figure out how best to survive in a world where food calories are no longer scarce. What we're looking at for the next decade is the obesity crisis for the brain.
Pneumatic air muscles are in the same strength to weight range - for example, the Shadow 30mm version is ~470 minimum. They can also be simply manufactured today, cycle very quickly, and are easy to control.
>> ... a unicycle, which is a hundred times harder to balance than a bicycle.

It's not that hard to unicycle. It just seems so to people who didn't try it until they were an adult.

In Japan, any junior high school may have a few unicycles and you frequently see kids larking around on them in the playground. Nothing special.
I would like to thank you for sharing this. That is on point.
Practical remedies generally resemble ripstop designs, preventing propogation of structural failure, rather than attempting to contain the pressure.

It's better to think through the problems created by sudden rupture:

1. Pressure loss and insufficient oxygen. Reducing flight levels to ~13,000 feet addresses this, emergency oxygen provides for several minutes' supply for passengers, hours for flight crew.

2. Suction through void; crew, passengers and other internal contents may be sucked into / out of the void. This can and has compounded initial structural failures through pressure-hammer effects (especially Aloha Air), and is hard on crew, passengers, and contents subjected.

3. Internal windflows. Cabin contents themselves become missiles. Securing these (seatbelts, latches, straps, etc.) minimises risks.

4. Progressive structural compromise due to venting airflow, jetstream, or air hammer. This may occur over miliseconds to minutes, and is the primary result of total aircraft loss in most cases. Designing to minimise rupture propogation is the key countermeasure.

Controlled aircraft depressurisation is not itself immediately fatal if countered quickly (supplemental oxygen, reduced altitude, emergency landing).

At very high pressure differentials and sudden decompression, traumatic injury is unavoidable. The Byford Dolphin incident (warning: NSFL) would be a prime example. Though the structure itself was not totally compromised.

Pressurised aircraft fuselages are already designed to minimise the risk you're describing to the limits of materials and cost considerations. Double-bagging isn't practicable.

Aircraft in very high-risk environments (typically military aircraft) have been unpressurised or minimally pressurised (the F-16 maintains a 5psi differential to ambient above 23k ft). Explosive decompression by enemy (or friendly) fire is a key risk.
I recall reading in 'The Vital Question' (also by Nick Lane) that free radicals (produced when a cell is unable to meet energy production demands) signals the replication of mitochondria. Antioxidants suppress this signal which leads to cell death. Interestingly an increase in free radicals themselves beyond a certain threshold also result in programmed cell death
It’s not stunning at all. It’s completely common throughout history. Ask a labor organizer sometime about it.

The only stunning thing is that we’ve finally gotten to the point where the political beliefs of done rich white men (my own population fwiw) are not so privileged as to prevent any level of judgement. Even the ridiculously low stakes outlined here.
I don't think the modern two wheeled in-line design is an obvious starting point or design iteration. It's not obviously user friendly either. Proof: 90% of the people reading this thread probably had to be "taught" how to ride a two wheeled bicycle.

Right wing people should make use of that free market they are so enamored with by creating their own tech products free from any real or supposed liberal bias, and let the market sort it out.
How, in practice, is this supposed to work?

The boss shows you a rickety ladder and says “Climb up there or you’re clocking out for the day!” You, drawing on the extensive mechanical engineering and actuarial experience that got you this $15/hr warehouse job, evaluate the likelihood of it collapsing and the expected bills, pain, and suffering if it does. “Looks shakey—give me another $2.73 first”, you say. The boss rummages around his bag, hands you some change, and away you go.

Even if in a world where individual freedom/responsibility trumps everything else, it seems like safety standards would save hassle. In the actual world, where everyone can’t assess all of these risks—-and many of them are hard even for experts to accurately measure—they seem even more worthwhile.
I'd swap Visual Studio 2010 and 2012. VS2010 is awfully slow even on a modern PC, whereas 2012 is much faster. In a previous job i had both of them installed and for some reason VS2010 had the project association instead of VS2012, leading to cursing and staring at the splash screen while waiting for the system to respond. In contrast VS2012 was MUCH faster.

To me it seemed that after deciding to rewrite the UI in WTF with VS2010 (VS2018 was native MFC) they decided to release it in essentially beta form and then fixed the performance with VS2012.
NB: I'm curious whether or not an emergency depressurisation engineering device acting as I've outlined exists, and where/how it might be utilised.
They did. The result is Gab and Voat which are so overrun with hate and fear porn and trolls they're unusable to people who don't like to be immersed in such things.
The short story "Anxiety is the Dizziness of Freedom" has an interesting take on this theme, where the many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics is true, and a device lets people communicate with parallel realities. They start off with a difference of one quantum measurement but slowly diverge.
> limit immigration

I think at this point most smart members of HN should realize that the only reason immigration has much momentum is because the democratic party relies on it to win elections. All I see from Democrats is all talk about helping the poor but they don't do the most sensible and easiest thing to help the poor, simply limit the pool of labor by limiting immigration of low skilled workers.

Which makes one realize, it's all about winning elections and all of the "*ist" allegations are insincere and fake.
Rust vs. C++ – Implementing a Neural Network

Good question! Deno has four policies that I know of:

--allow-write
--allow-net
--allow-env
--allow-run

Today these policies are all-or-nothing and they are global to the entire Deno process. Consider and application which _only_ needs to make a GET request to a single GitHub API endpoint. This application will then use the `--allow-net` flag and will be able to communicate with arbitrary sites like evil.ru.

However, with Osgood, the permissions are much more granular. One can specify a policy to only get access to _exactly_ what is needed. The permissions are also granular enough to only apply to a subset of the overall application:

app.route('GET', '/gh/:username', 'gh.js', policy => {
policy.outboundHttp.allowGet('https://api.github.com/users/*/gists');
});

We will add further policies where it makes sense, such as with filesystem access. However, Osgood doesn't aim to be a _general_ platform for running code, so we will likely expose filesystem access in a manner akin to this:

I feel like the real problem here is how these games link up to a payment method that isn't actually intended to be used for the game. Unlinking them from each other should go a long way to resolve these "my child spent a lot of money because I gave them access to all my money" problems.

Resources / Courses to Learn Discrete Math and Structures?
As a person who recently obtained their bachelors in CS, I feel like my program was not particularly challenging. There's certainly a large gap in my knowledge that I'd like to fill both for my own satisfaction and career development. I want to start out by refreshing my knowledge and taking a deeper dive into Discrete Mathematics.

Are there any online courses or textbooks that I should be checking out? I understand that DM can be proof-heavy which can be a detriment to self-learners. Are there any courses or communities that could provide feedback on submitted proofs?

Thanks in advance.
> To do this, helium is rapidly pushed through a check valve - designed with low-molecular-mass helium in mind - to physically pressurize the propellant systems. Unintentionally, the NTO that leaked 'upstream' through that valve effectively was taken along for the ride with the high-pressure burst of helium. In essence, picture that you crash your car, only to discover that your nice, fluffy airbag has accidentally been replaced with a bag of sand, and you might be able to visualize the unintended forces Dragon’s check valve (the metaphorical airbag) was subjected to when a "slug" of dense oxidizer was rammed into it at high speed.

This paragraph really drove the point home for me. I was able to easily visualize the event.
This used to be a super common narrative/ theme for articles, but they seem to have gone out of fashion.

There's nothing inherently wrong with choosing to use a monolith approach or attempting to build your startup around a SPA- there are trade-offs with each approach and each provides opportunities to the developers working on the software. Someone architecting their system should be concerned with using tools that fit their use case, and their business model.

SPAs have many advantages such as not having to have your user experience dictated by page refreshes, but disadvantages such as missing out on boilerplate generated for you. Neither is makes a SPA approach good or bad... just different.

I just wish that articles like this would do 2 things better:

1)Accept the nuance of decisions when building anything. This article might as well be arguing for using nails over screws when building your shed.

2) Provide some evidence/ ANY evidence, even if it is anecdotal. "When I built XZY application we found testing our apps took 1 day longer per 3 days spent writing code, than it did when we built a similar app as a monolith." or I reviewed 200 repos and found the time between when an app was created and when it was released was XYZ days longer when building a SPA.

Without evidence you are just blowing hot air.
"The homeless" are not some separate population here. You can't distinguish them from "normal people" like they are a separate species.

People at risk of homelessness are, in a nutshell, people with barriers to regular employment. This includes people who are twice exceptional and the LGBTQ crowd.

Ideally, we develop more resources for people who have trouble achieving conventional success as a means to lower their risk of homelessness. Waiting until after they are on the street to help them is the worst possible way to handle this. It's much harder to help people after their lives have fallen apart than to give them other options before it goes that far.

Years ago, I homeschooled my two twice exceptional sons. I was Director of Community Life for The TAG Project for a short time. I was a low level presenter at a gifted conference that year.

I have expertise in how you deal effectively with this stuff. But there's no effective means to put that information out there. I can't afford to do everything for free. It doesn't pay and the institutions we currently have are often part of the problem.
I asked my bank to automatically pay off my credit card in full at the end of each month. (It might help that my credit card is affiliated with my bank, I'm not sure.)

I've never come close to spending near my limit, so I don't know about an overdraft fee. I assumed it would decline further payments.

My credit card gives me reward points for money spent on it. Having a credit card that I keep paid helps my credit score.

I make some tiny amount of interest on the money in my account each month. I might as well collect that before parting with the money. And it's not like credit card debt accrues daily.

I completely agree. If Amazon pays their workers better, that won’t fix the millions of other workers stuck with bad pay and abusive jobs.

But that doesn’t mean we should ignore the individual companies. Certainly, our energies should be focused on bigger societal changes. But it’s not misplaced ore to also mention the fact that some companies could already do better, and choose not to.
I miss the old good time when you only need to purchase the game once and get everything. No micro transaction. No DLCs.
FWIW, I found your points interesting, and I agree that all mortgages are about the ability to repay. Wasn't that at the root of the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis?

And ability to repay, in my understanding= Capital, Capacity, Credit history, Collateral

-Capital: Down payment, loan fees, closing costs, escrow impounds, reserves, moving expenses

-Capacity: Current income, income history & future earning potential, Amount owed on installment accounts & revolving charge accounts

-Credit history: Current liabilities and past history

-Collateral: i.e., Is the house worth what you are paying for it, and if not, that has to be fixed before closing.
