Why work doesn’t happen at work
Sure. Something is generally considered more elegant ("nicer") when it has fewer terms. (I'm really happy with my own argument above why Python's indexing is "optimal".) But I'd put what I think you're saying this way: Dijkstra asserts that '1 ≤ i < N+1' is worse than '0 ≤ i < N', but he's choosing his conditions carefully. '1 ≤ i ≤ N' also has no extra terms. (Though in fairness to Dijkstra, this section was after he'd already argued why closed, open ranges are better.)

I will say this though: in all the noise in this sub-thread, I never got any example in answer to my original question asking for any algorithm or formula that works out better with 1-based indexing (my original response was to its parent's claim that 1-based indexing results in fewer ±1s in practice). Except for maybe the "stride" examples[1] for which I still don't understand why the starting index is important. I say this not in victory (ha ha! zero-based indexes are clearly superior!) but in disappointment because I was hoping to gain understanding of why Julia/Matlab and others (which are more geared towards math/stats which is outside of my experience) made their indexing choice. Particularly because it's against the norm, they must have good reasons.

It seems pretty obvious to me that jobs which show the Baumol Effect are ones where the raw labour cost before inflation was dramatically below the value produced for the end customer. For public-facing roles, this value (in monetary terms) will also be driven up by the very effect that drives up the salaries of those producing the value.

If you don't mind, I'm curious about what "partially move structs" are? Structs have always feel like a chore to me, complicating things more when compared to maps in dynamic langs. Maybe Rust has something for dealing with the "explosion of types" issue and dealing with partial information in structs that I don't know about. Skimming through the rust book looks like Option<T> is the solution to missing data in structs.
> Overall, Blender seems to suffer from a classic case of open-source programmer driven development. If you already know how to use it, it's very powerful and customizable - the python scripting is great! But because no one really cares about making it into a product, the UI/UX suffers.

Somewhat amusing comment seeing as though Blender was a product before it was open sourced, and from all I've heard the UI/UX has improved since it became open source.

Oh, it's so nice to see all these rich tech guys are concerned about the plight of Amazon workers. Suppose if one of these Amazon workers applied to be a programmer at your company even though they didn't go to a top twenty school or have 5-7 years experience with the trendiest stack, but merely did a bootcamp, and published some apps on their own, would you hire them and spend your money (as opposed to Jeff Bezo's money) to better their lot in life? Or would you hit delete the second their pathetic resume touched your inbox? At least Jeff Bezos is making it possible for people to pay their rent and not end up yet another homeless guy on the San Francisco sidewalk.
This is leaving out the effect of headcount restrictions, which is how management keeps overall control over what gets worked on. Sometimes there are legacy projects that have headcount but trouble filling it. But sadly, sometimes there are people who do want to work on some important maintenance project, but they can't get headcount.

So, it may be easy to move, but only in certain directions where management wants people to move.

(Or see if you can make a case for increased headcount somehow. Being good at persuasion or having a manager who trusts you can work.)
And just because a bunch of HNers (and redditors) despise it doesn’t mean it is bad. I am sure the vast vast majority is totally indifferent to the design.

You're not free.

You're not free to drive a vehicle on public roads without a license or in a state of disrepair - because you risk harming other drivers and pedestrians. You're not free to adulterate food with sawdust, because it will harm people who eat it. You're not free to put poisons in jars marked for food, because it will harm people who don't know you've done that. You're not free to booby-trap your house because it puts emergency services at risk as well as burglars. You're not free to enslave others or sexually assault them, or take their property or money, because most of society wouldn't like that done to them. You're not free to make industrial noise in a suburban area when most people are trying to sleep, or to make toxic fumes or pollute rivers or groundwater supplies or use carcinogenic insecticide, because more people's need for potable water and sleep and edible food outweighs your need for easy money.

OSHA is a continuation of this concept of "other people" who matter and are affected by what you do.

Exactly where the limits lie, is collectively determined and up for argument. But to disavow the idea of restricted freedoms at all is somewhere along the lines of self-interest to the point of sociopathy, cluelessness, or inviting someone to shoot you and take your stuff just because they can.

I have a software startup and was in SS in 2017 with an assigned mentor and a second time in 2018 but without an assigned mentor. The 2017 SS experience was a lot better because of two things: 1. My cohort of startups was quite involved in meetings and forum discussions 2. our mentor has an agenda for weekly group meetings and gave every group a chance to talk about their progress. It comes down to these two things -- cohort and mentor -- and YC picks them for you, so YMMV.

I'm pretty sure bugs are covered under omnivores and carnivores which is plainly what pescatarians are as well. You've given a really good definition, though I admit, I've never heard of eggitarians, sounds like a delightfully British term. I've always heard egg only called ovo-vegetarian, milk only as lacto-vegetarian and missed vegetarians as lacto-ovo vegetarian. Pescatarians just want to feel better about themselves by saying that they only eat one type of meat, which to me isn't really an argument against calling them omnivores if it makes them feel better I don't really see the harm though. For an extreme example you wouldn't say a thief isn't a criminal if they only committed thievery. It's covered by the original term it's busy a more specific form of that term, it's just odd to me.

Ask HN: Has Anyone Modded the BB-Unit from Disneyland Galaxy's Edge?
I find myself in possession of one of the build-your-own BB-8 units from the Star Wars Galaxy's Edge "Droid Depot".

It seems like it is basically a 1st-party replacement for the older licenced Sphero BB-8, except really big (~10 inches high), and reacts to bluetooth beacons scattered around the theme park.

https://secure.cdn1.wdpromedia.com/dam/disneyland/shops/disneyland/droid-depot/BB-8-Instruction-Sheet-064019.pdf

I'm curious if anyone has attempted to mod/hack this? It has a number of inconveniences:

- It has a physical bluetooth remote, but I'd love to be able to pair it to a smartphone app instead.

- It runs on a stack of AA batteries, rather than having a built-in battery with induction charging.

- It goes into a power-save mode after 5 minutes of inactivity, and seemingly the only way to wake it back up is to crack it open and flip the powerswitch off/on again.

- The magnets attaching the head are fairly weak, and the head flies off even on pretty gentle impacts.

It's a little underwhelming as is, so I'd love suggestions on (relatively simple) mods that would improve it.
Okay so you've a bunch of different devices that have different capabilities - can you also mention the different cables you had to get (I'm just curious).

OSHA doesn't overrule what someone can do with their bodies at all. It forbids businesses and their employees acting in an official capacity from demanding that other employees do something that puts them in unnecessary danger. If a business entity wants limited liability for shareholders, that's the contract they sign with the state.

OSHA couldn't care less if a CEO or Chairman climbed up on that dangerous ladder and got hurt.

Partially moved just means that the compiler tracks which fields have been “moved out” of the struct and prevents you from either accessing those fields or attempting to reuse the partially moved struct as if it were still a whole struct, since it is no longer whole... it has given up some of its members, conceptually.

In the article linked by this discussion, the author specifically mentions how fields can’t be moved out in D’s implementation.

Option is the correct approach for dealing with information that might be missing, but that’s not really related to partially moved structs.

Structs document what is available in a given value, to both the compiler and to you. If that’s not convincing, then I’m not going to try more here... it’s off topic. But I will say you can use maps in Rust or other statically typed languages. They’re just not meant to be an alternative to well-defined structs.
I interviewed with him once.

Got on the short list by telling the recruiter that "Palantir is a bunch of really smart guys run by a Bond villain". Not sure if that ever got back, but not being thrown out of the process tells me a lot about the company.
That’s good, but not contradictory of the point above. A public, not for profit prison presumably still has to operate on a budget. I did say “profitability”, but I suppose I really meant ability to operate.

If prisons are held accountable to their finances, which I assume they are, they’re put into a position where expensive inmates who are budgeted to die must die, else they threaten the entire prison.

While the templates are technically untyped (in the sense that there are no type-classes or traits in D), you can use template constraints to achieve something similar: https://dlang.org/concepts.html. Essentially you'd write a compile time isMonad predicate that only returned true if certain functions were defined for a type.

Even without that, the key thing is it's still possible to implement monads in the C++ style (https://stackoverflow.com/a/2565191/2553416), whereas it's impossible to write code to do the same thing in current Rust. It just gives much worse compiler errors if you use it wrong compared to if the language had built in type-classes / traits.
Thanks for the detailed response. I appreciate it. I will look into CommonCrawl. Cheers.

Often, the first bootstrapped is the bare minimum to get basic functionality available, to then build upon what features you can support.

Its been a while, and I think it was gcc 7.x timeframe, and IIRC, you had to have at a min, gcc 4.x available to bootstrap, and it took something like 3 separate bootstrap iterations to get the final compilers was like 4-6 hours if memory serves.
You're damn right! I dropped out of high school at 16, did very little besides playing video games throughout my 20s, and only in my 30s did I complete my high school diploma and enroll in university.

Globalization isn’t necessarily the problem. It’s the rules surrounding trade that perpetuates the problem you outlined.

In some alternate universe we could have free trade laws that enshrined environmental, labor, and other protections into law to benefit all. Instead we have laws that are silent (or with what we almost had under TPP toothless) on protections for anything other than corporations.

My main beef is there is a mindset of some people that think that everybody has serious trauma in their childhood (maybe repressed memories or in denial). However plenty* of people have great childhoods.

I think it is normal for someone to say that they had a "perfect childhood", just like someone might say "There is nothing worse than" or "I would never" etc. Yes, we often could say things more precisely. But most people regularly say things that are 100% incorrect if we were to treat their words as logical truths.

I guess I feel he straw-manned the statement, and that the subtext of Daniel's statements is that he denies that anyone can have a childhood without trauma, and even if they think they did, he says they didn't!

Edit: I think the reason this pisses me off is because I have a friend who is a psychologist and when you get him drunk he gives every single one of his acquaintances a mental diagnosis label! I have seen the same pattern with other psychologists: they act as though they are all seeing, that they can always discover issues if they dig deep, and their reading of someone is correct (even against the consensus of everybody else).

Many vegetarians don't eat animals because they feel pain not because they are alive, were that the case they would eat animals that died of old age. Plants have no mechanism to feel pain and some plants specifically spread through consumption, though there are some plants that vegans won't eat because insects play a necessary part in their creation i.e. almonds if memory serves correct, they don't eat honey for the same reason. Vegans generally want no animal or insect, sometimes even bacteria involved in the creation of there food and there's numerous n different forms of veganism that in not knowledgeable enough to describe. There's debate about some sea life for vegetarians, however recent information highly suggest insects feel pain and most vegetarians probably wouldn't include intentional insect consumption as valid vegetarianism (there's no real avoiding unintentionally consuming some). It's not grossness thing. Most people who are vegetarian started as meat eaters and chose for a time or for life they were no longer comfortable with the equation of enjoyment of eating meat versus the harm to other creatures they were causing. Everyone needs to figure out their own line of comfort and that changes over a lifetime.

Your arguments about sustainability while not incorrect don't actually factor into the debate about whether or not insects are agreeable to a vegetarian diet and lifestyle. They are more of a concern about animal welfare which doesn't require a vegetarian diet. There are numerous animal advocates and farmers who advocate for animal welfare without practicing a diet other than omnivorous.
