Cool experiment, thanks for sharing the code.
It would be great if someone took these different ratios to make an interactive designer of something (like a car) where choosing each ratio would update the dimensions of the thing (ex: the car size is the first value, hood size is the second, followed by the doors, wheels, headlight, etc)

One of the things they bring up in the docs is lessening boilerplate. And it's hard to get more boilerplatey than XML.
This is fantastic, thank you for sharing!

While I can't speak for other commenters, I wonder if we aren't speaking past each other a bit.

I don't think anyone should be coerced into a field of study and I'm not sure if the "army" quote from the other poster should be taken literally. I read it as you should make sure society has enough in that basket to maximize welfare for all, but I could be interpreting them poorly.

When I hear arguments for STEM, what I and many others generally mean is that the pie-chart for things studied in school (Math, Language, Literature, History, Geography, PE, Sociology, Science, Art, Religion, Music...etc) should be tweaked a bit to where the Math, Science, and Technology subsections are bigger. If that means reducing the rest of the courses by some small percentage in order to do so, then so be it. Note that I'm not talking about eliminating anything entirely.

Regardless of chosen profession, I can't think of anyone who wouldn't be better off by being more scientifically and mathematically literate. At this point you might ask if the same couldn't be said for other subjects like music and I would disagree. Although all learning and knowledge should generally be considered a blessing, scientific reasoning is a force multiplier. Think of all the ignorance regarding vaccines, climate science...etc.
Your other points are valid, but you can use C++ without any more of a runtime than C needs. The main feature that needs runtime support is exceptions, but it’s common enough to use C++ with exceptions disabled even outside embedded. There’s also global constructors, if you’re not already using them from C with GNU extensions; those can be disabled too if needed, but it’s easy enough to make sure the constructors get invoked (most crt0s should do this out of the box).
Even with an individual error, the system/office/company put the individual in the position to make the mistake, and then didn't provide adequate accommodation or procedure to prevent the mistake.

Not every individual mistake can reasonably be averted with changes to the system, but it's vitally important that we at least ask the question of how the system failed. Otherwise we're virtually guaranteed to wind up with a pile of "unrelated incidents" that might have been prevented at little to no cost.
If you have any health issues, a journal where you talk about symptoms, diet, etc can be an enormously valuable tool.
It's good to admit that, thanks! I do think it's probably easier to come up with solutions in this space checking that bias more carefully.

> provably rolling a random dice is a solved problem

You clearly have no experience with setting up randomized trials in reality. It’s very hard. You think you’re flipping a coin, and totally forget that there are all kinds of things that can creep in to introduce confounding factors that correlate with assignment to one group or the other. Time of day, time of week, operating hours, handling customers waiting in a queue too long by rerouting them, random outage in subcontractor A’s cloud service account, geopolitical event causes problems with payment processing to subcontractor B for a certain time period.

How will you isolate the effect on customer satisfaction of each subcontractor, controlling for all effects that could drive the observed satisfaction metric for a given subcontractor that are not in that subcontractor’s control? How will you make certain you’ve done this, as opposed to just making the deeply invalid assumption that some seemingly random assignment mechanism has automatically taken care of it? How will you actually verify the populations of customers sent to each subcontractor are actually probabilistically equivalent across every potential confounding factor?

Acting like it’s just going to be a simple coin flip is a woeful lack of imagination.
I have room mates (by choice) and one of my room mates has two cats and brings a person or two over every other night. He's super extroverted. I'm pretty introverted so I like my privacy. Not once has this extroverted room mate bothered me by bringing one or two people over, though I do have a cat allergy, so I've had to learn to hiss just the right way to speak cat enough to let them know not to walk into my room.

“Resistance training, such as weightlifting.”

A few weeks of consistent resistance training with bodyweight exercises has worked like magic for me after years of chronic wrist pain. I’ve been gradually working my way into this routine: https://www.reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness/wiki/kb/recommend...

Pull ups/chin ups, ring rows, and push ups (or their easier/harder variations) all seem to help a lot, though I suspect the pull ups and chin ups are having the most impact.

I personally find it a lot more fun and easier to motivate myself to do these kinds of exercises compared to weightlifting, but I’m sure that works too.
I'd be curious to hear what Sun Hydraulics or King Arthur Flour were like from someone who worked there.
I think that your depiction of whales is generally incorrect. There are certainly apps that try to trick kids by requiring currency that is not-obviously real money. These exist for adults too, but aren’t what people refer to when they talk about whales.

Whales make such payments intentionally. They understand that they’re paying hundreds or thousands of dollars- and are doing so in bulk transactions because it’s the most cost effective rate. They play a game regularly and spend so they can maximize their standing whenever new content is released (very frequently).

That is to say, whales exist in games with transparent pricing. I don’t recall specifics but I think Pokémon go was a good example of this. IIRC you could buy coins that were useful for buying poke balls and egg incubators. Not 1:1 but hardly abusive. Whales still spent (spend?) thousands on it.

Edit: every so often I click on an ad for the most awful looking porn based online game I come across just to see what it is. It’s quite surprising to see how deeply implemented some of their gameplay is given their garbage marketing strategy and value prop. What is truly fascinating however is how incredibly complicated some of their micro payment systems are. Dozens of resources introduced around every corner with unclear ways of acquiring any of them in game but each one noting that it will be required to unlock some stupid scandalous picture and can be refilled for $5. Whatever your mental model is for the insidiousness of app based micro payments is, you might find it bizarrely entertaining to explore how much worse it can get in such a context.
Go ahead and give every engineer who comes across your meta-delimited file a little rundown on how it works. "Can you show me how to import it into google sheets?" "I need to email it to someone, can you show me how to change it?" "My IDE says I need a plugin to read it? Do you know anything about that? Can you help me set it up?"

They'll all agree how clever and useful the meta characters are of course, but only after you've given them your time in learning about it. No thanks no thanks no thanks. For me I'd rather deal with a little bit of serialization headache then a support headache.
Also hyperuniformity?

I always thought the mechanics were competing, not the racers. Tv stations try to hype up drivers but I just find the racing really boring to watch. However, engineering a car that goes really, reallly, reallllly fast is something I get a lot of amusement from observing.

So randomly forcing teams to be separated from their cars seems almost cruel. Like, how do we even know that the buyer has the expertise to maintain it or make it go faster? What if they can't even comprehend the technology, so they just run it till it breaks and then toss it on the scrap heap?
prions are currently a problem for basically any equipment, but they are rare, and they are not this problem - this is an issue of basic sanitation of modern, intricate and difficult to sanitize devices causing bacterial infections.
A lot of people in the psychiatric field believe that mental illness is due to chemical imbalances in the brain. No tests exist which can detect those imbalances. Your faith in "biology" as the ultimate underlying reality of mental illness is discouragingly close to that medical model of mental illness. This idea that mental distress is essentially biological in character has bad consequences because it ignores the fact that each patient is an agent in continuous interaction with his or her social environment. Mental illnesses, in general, don't develop organically from biological defects. They are often the consequence of trauma and adverse life events, as noted by the authors of this research. Sure, some mental illness is purely biological. Some disorders may be influenced by genetics. But the generic, classic phenomenon of somebody "going crazy" is unlikely ever to be attributable purely to physiological processes. These things come about because of profoundly dysfunctional psychosocial environments.

As a psychiatric professional, you may find it reassuring to predict the future dominance of an objective medical model of mental illness. It would be braver to admit that the complexity of the mind and of the circumstances that lead to mental illness mean that medical research is a very long way from cracking this problem.
Part of what you are asking is "How do you study in earnest?"

Head First books have a lot of good practical tips for how to learn new material, such as "read in bed just before sleeping." I did that a lot in high school and college.

Thank you, truly appreciated. Both Marika, and I assume Krystal, are incredible humans.

The WhatsApp group is still going strong, so at least there’s an informal Roam for the time being - Marika is working on a coworking space at the moment, so there should be a home no matter where you end up this winter.

And yes, looking forward as well, thanks again!
I clicked on this link hoping to share my conundrum with reading books, and you so perfectly captured my own perspective there's nothing more for me to add. I'm glad I'm at least not alone.
Aren't you using a technology to solve a social problem?

I don't have the experience with Kubernetes to have an informed opinion, but I've solved plenty of social problems in software organizations. Those are usually approachable without making a long-term commitment to a technology that may or may not be the right choice.
Yeah, I was fighting the list problem. And not able to mix numeric and string data in a list just made the whole thing unwieldy and frustrated me.

I’ve used JSON for configs, which is not great, but at least readable. The biggest problem is lack of comments, but I added a quick hack to ignore any dictionary key starting with an octothorpe. Not ideal, but is actually handy because it makes it easy to comment out keys temporarily as well as add arbitrary commentary.

Also, the Python standard library JSON parser is very flexible and yields precise exceptions. I was able to turn those parsing exceptions into meaningful error messages with precise line and column numbers. Which came as a bit of a shock to some of my users, because a different tool written before my time but used by the same people had exactly one error message for mispelled YAML: segfault.
the article says, deep in a paragraph about how he got caught, that Forex was illegal but largely ignored.

> The Angola & Metropole illegally bought foreign exchange from him at a premium (money exchange was illegal in Portugal at the time, but in fact widespread and tolerated). The ledgers of these transactions were then torn out and destroyed. Although neither the teller nor the officials at the Porto branch of the Bank of Portugal could find any evidence that the bills from the Angola & Metropole were counterfeit, the circumstances were suspicious enough that the allegation was reported to Lisbon.

I think Reis would have done much better than Hennies if he had fled; after all, Reis was a mastermind and Hennies was duped twice. (I think it's fair to absolve someone of the claim of poor investments in the late 1920s.)
But that doesn't mean the golden ratio is the reason it's aesthetically apealling. There is good art that uses the ratio, and bad art that uses it, and good art that doesn't use it.
I think this is one of the "dirty secrets" of current software development ... one of those things that pretty much nobody does very well (at least, anywhere I have seen).

My view is that we won't make real progress on proper UI testing until there is a paradigm shift that moves responsibility for creating applications that are fundamentally testable to developers. This is not dissimilar to how the idea of "devops" finally recognised that managing deployments and infrastructure is actually first class development activity.

The problem is that testing a system that has not been designed for it is almost fundamentally intractable. I have seen toolkits that auto-generate random ids for every element on the page so that it is almost impossible to hook onto anything within the page as a reliable anchor to identify testable points within the page. Even when those things do exist it is usually only incidental and not an agreed contract b/w developer and test automation engineer. So they will always break unexpectedly etc etc.
Ask HN: Advice transitioning to Software Contract/consulting work?
I am curious what your best advice for successful software contracting/consulting is.

I am a mid twenties full stack developer transitioning into contract work from my current employer. I’m extremely motivated to give myself the best chance possible to get good, high-value work, and minimize bad projects/clients. Put differently, I need to know how to avoid BS, low-paying work, and find interesting projects that pay well.

I’m not an expert in any particular tech stack, and I don’t have a blog with thousands of fans, so I want to know how I can sell my abilities to the right kind of people. I plan to start writing regularly and attending conferences more to help with this.

I’m particularly wanting to work on Clojure, Python, React, or C# projects as I am most familiar with, and enjoy those the most.

Any advice about what the best avenue is to get your brand out there, leverage platforms like Upwork, or anything else really?
Giving customers steep discounts, free upgrades, etc. You would have to track all the different ways they could give a break to your customers and somehow work that into the metrics without causing them to game them.

I took it as the first map is of the stereotypes that led to the term "alcohol belts", rather than just stereotypes from an individual Wikipedia contributor.

The second map doesn't show any "belts", and is showing that the concept of alcohol belts doesn't match actual consumption.
Every good mental health professional I've had has understood this. Effective treatment treats the individual, not the diagnosis -- the diagnosis is only to get authotizarion from insurance and government agencies to get the necessary resources. My insurance paid $1500 for psychological testing that "confirmed" my severe ADHD -- which was completely obvious to my psychiatrist, she just wasn't allowed to diagnosis it -- just so I could get authotizarion to try stimulants... and find they didn't work for me at all.

Psychiatric diagnosis is at the level of pre-scientific symptom-based diagnosis, for the most part. Imagine if you went to the doctor for a cough and, without any tests, they prescribed a month long course of antibiotics with no idea how effective they would be. A friend of mine was prescribed powerful antipsychotics to "fix" a problem that was actually being caused by another psychiatric medication they had been prescribed earlier to fix something else. Their mental health kept getting worse and worse, and what finally helped was starting a DBT (dialectic behavior therapy) program, and now they're in the process of getting off all those meds that turned out to be more harmful than helpful.

We need to stop pretending that a point-scored questionnaire is a scientific way to distinguish a diagnosis, or that we understand the chemistry of the brain well enough that medication can be the first line of defense.

While I don't like to have messaging apps tied to the phone number, it has become a mainstream model that most people accept and know how to use.

I have been thinking for some time that we need a mainstream messaging app that uses end-to-end encrypted, and you can get in contact with a peer only if it accepts you (just like old messaging apps, WLM, ICQ, etc), so, if the peer doesn't accept to chat with you, you won't even know whether the number is registered.

In fact, my initial PoC is https://safer.chat/, I just need the time to make an app from it.
First of all, congrats on finishing up your degree!

As a counterpoint to the above, I believe most highschool students can read the publications of many professors in the liberal arts and understand what they're saying (Ex: literary criticism) although it helps to have some background knowledge of the period in question. How many highschool students or even liberal arts professors can read and comprehend practically anything that someone in the engineering department published? My point is that it takes a lot more effort to get a working knowledge of something like physics. Although not everyone can and should be able to read a quantum mechanics textbook, I think the average adult should know about things like entropy. If you don't agree with STEM, at least change the course requirements so that the technically inclined can get more math and science courses under their belt. Your country may already do that, but it isn't super common in the US (public or private schools). My parents forced me to go to Catholic school growing up (public schools were terrible in my area) and this resulted in mandatory 1-hour of daily religion class for 13 years that I could have used for something else I would've preferred (math, science, engineering, programming, philosophy). Regardless of one's views, I question the sheer breadth of the US system over depth.
How much hiring and interviewing have you done? I've seen countless resumes with 25 years of stated glorious achievements, and they couldn't write a for loop.
> A simple thing, on paper. Get a piece of it out and start writing. Or typing - doesn’t really matter.

On the contrary, I feel writing notes on paper with my fountain pen really different from typing on a computer. Only the former give me the feeling of work well done and some relaxed mind.

I find really interesting to see years later that event X and Y happened on the same day while they are disjunct in memory.

Candida auris is so persistent autoclaving, hydrogen peroxide and bleach aren't effective... hospitals have had to resort to binning equipment and removing wall tiles.
