The point of the whole section is that it's more important to build a legacy of being a good person than to be wealthy.

One of the lines that proceeds that is:

>27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[a]?

Humans should be smart enough to figure out how not to starve and and not to freeze to death without working themselves to death preparing for a future that may not even come. We should care about each other enough to admit that those outcomes are not necessary and be willing to give and accept support form others from time to time.

Gospel of Thomas has a similar parable
> , "There was a rich person who had a great deal of money. He said, 'I shall invest my money so that I may sow, reap, plant, and fill my storehouses with produce, that I may lack nothing.' These were the things he was thinking in his heart, but that very night he died.'

Ie, don't make yourself miserable for material possessions out of fear that if you lack them for a period you will never be ok ever again. You'll lack them when you're dead too. Stress yourself out too much about those things and you'll probably just die early without even attempting the things you wanted to do. At least attempt to improve the world in some way if you think you have the means and desire to do so. And even if you risk your material possessions to do so, it probably isn't the end of the world.
I'll bite.

It's not bad or racist to enforce immigration laws. Very few people in America support legitimately open borders and I do not either; the only ones that do are purist libertarians. Faux concern for these issues however is a hammer used by bad and, yes, racist people in order to batter people who are overwhelmingly poorer and non-white.

There is no evidence that a physical wall is a necessary investment and there are zero lives improved by separating children from their families as a "deterrent" during a massive humanitarian crisis.

A decade ago, I used to think that the Republican concern over illegal immigration (which is absolutely a legitimate concern), was truly out of concern for those exploited by the system and out of concern for the American worker. I thought that those calling this concern as "anti immigrant" were being disingenuous. Of course, that was before I realized people like Stephen Miller are really saying the quiet part loud these days.

It's great overall but I do miss being able to walk on the sidewalk without having to worry about getting hit by those Meituan delivery scooters. At least here in Shenzhen, bicycles and small electric scooters are required to share the sidewalk with pedestrians.

That verse is worthless for atheists, but the first sentence is actually usable. How we experience life, how we feel is strongly influenced by the labels we attach to our experiences. Maybe meditation can help you, no god needed. Check out "The mind illuminated", this book gets recommended in pretty much every thread on hn about meditation and for good reasons.
Nevermind it being visible on google maps since 2007...

Imagine being the homeowner who had no idea a corpse was decomposing steps from his own backyard for the past 22 years... or that a car was in the pond behind your house.

People really need to get out more often.
> The great thing about the scooter is that it isn't mine, so I don't have to worry about it getting stolen.

Except that the scooter companies can't figure this out either and are moving to a monthly rental to put the burden back on you.

> In April, it announced the launch of a more traditional rental program in San Francisco and Barcelona, in which users could pay $25 per month to rent a Xiaomi m365 from the company rather than paying per ride.

The gig economy is about externalizing all the costs, ya'know.

It wasn't just Apple, even several Google engineers working on WebGPU agreed that simply mimicking Vulkan wasn't the right model. There are some notes here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-lAvR9GXaNJiqUIpm3N2XuGU...

The bit about network transparency is the most interesting one IME (which, in this case, assumes the "network" is essentially a collection of intercommunicating system processes, not nodes), as well as the bits about how Vulkan exposes too much of the vendor model to the programmer, which also isn't their goal. But it's a very sensible goal for Vulkan itself on the desktop.

If anything, the work on the gfx-rs means that WebGPU might actually end up as a more low-ish-level "portable" graphics API than Vulkan itself if you want to target every major platform + the web. In particular, gfx-hal is a non-Vulkan abstraction layer on top of D3D12/Metal/Vulkan, and webgpu-native/wgpu-rs provide WebGPU APIs for desktop platforms (in C/Rust) based on gfx-hal. Eventually you should be able to target WebGPU+WebAssembly too. I just ran a wgpu-rs demo yesterday on my mac with Metal and on my Windows desktop with DX12 with no changes! Pretty good stuff so far. And if you're a die hard Vulkan fan and don't care about WebGPU, then gfx-portability will let you program against Vulkan while building on gfx-hal, all the same, so you can still target Windows/Mac. (It would be interesting to ask how gfx-rs overcomes the problems outlined in the above design doc.)

The shading language will probably end up being the most contentious point in the end, but ultimately I think the overall tool quality/available for desktop is impressive, and WebGPU will probably end up as a good offering in the design space.
What will give you longevity is a degree in CS. Frameworks and technologies change, but CS concepts stay consistent.

Try getting a job outside of Silicon Valley by just knowing “CS concepts” when your standard Corp job wants someone who can hit the ground running on their tech stack.
WSL tells you very little about how the language is actually executed. I do not see any explanation of, say, waves and quads, which will need to be spelled out explicitly when these things are added. It's a requirement for proper LOD selection for texturing, along with ddx/ddy.

Simple branching in shaders is notoriously under-defined as well because of complications related to divergence/convergence and the SIMT model.

re: dominator analysis, it was brought up by an Apple WebGPU developer (Myles C. Maxfield) as a complexity of parsing SPIR-V. David Neto had to explain it to Myles. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wG9BRLUSw4FbpnvqieK--jTW...
As far as I know, JS does not have the equivalent of Python's descriptor protocol[0]. This is notably different from setter/getter methods.

[0]: https://docs.python.org/3/howto/descriptor.html
No, like I said, I only imagine this is the case.

There's also the fact that complex selectors are more dependent on the structure of the DOM, so they could also be considered bad practice from the angle that the selector might needlessly tie them to a structure that semantically their styling shouldn't depend on. From the readability side, it's also easier for a developer to find affected nodes when reading simple selectors like `#foo` or `.bar` (they just need to search for the identifier with grep or the like) than when reading complex ones that require them to look into the structure of the document.

I don't think it's unreasonable to think that languages are designed to encourage what people would consider to be good practices. After all, if developer power trumped all, we could replace HTML and CSS with Javascript (and we do when either HTML or CSS don't suffice), but HTML and CSS exist to improve readability for developers and the ability for browsers to optimize their implementation.
One major difference between Magic and most skinner box video games: I can sell my magic cards for real world money, and I can just buy the cards I need as singles.

There's a lot of games that try to nudge closer to this with card "crafting" where you destroy card A to create in game currency that you can then use to purchase card B. This is ALMOST to the point where I find it acceptable, but until I can trade card A to another player for card B, it's still complicated gambling.

Real world collectable card games sit in the grayest area imo. You're buying a tangible object that represents some degree of gambling (if you buy packs) but there exists a secondary market that allows for you to bypass that and still enjoy the activity. It's mostly good, but then again my Magic collection sits somewhere around 15,000 total cards, so maybe I'm not the best person to talk about this...
Nice synopsis in the docs. I’d suggest that instead of saying k8s and OTP don’t overlap that it’s more that "they don’t completely overlap" Fenn diagram style. That’d be a bit more nuanced answer and help people judge which category they fall into.

There are many cases where having an Erlang cluster and doing ‘naive pooling’ at the application level would get you 80% of what k8s + routing layer would get you. I’m assuming more of an an all Erlang/Elixir environment which many small startups could get by with. Even then Docker + Fargate or whatnot would still simplify deployment. Personally I harbor a secret desire to see if I could replicate part of the k8s interface using Nerves images + some otp tooling. Probably better things to do with my life though. ;)

Also by ‘heart’ are you referring to how ‘epmd’ works or Erlang distribution?
>Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office told the BBC that Mr Moldt is presumed to have lost control of his vehicle and driven into the pond.

>The force said that, during the initial investigation into his disappearance, there was "no evidence of that occurring" until recently, when a shift in the water made the car visible.

I'm surprised that no one saw signs of a car going off the road back when he went missing. In the image the car is quite far from the road suggesting a lot of momentum as it went into the pond.
It seems like Slack built themselves a toolbox like Bootstrap or Material Design Lite or similar but for their own style guide.

I've been wanting to do the same type of thing for a while but I feel like the development workflow and tooling is somewhat lacking and it's kind of hard to get people on board. Everyone always wants something a little extra custom, or doesn't want to jump through the hoops putting their styling into the main repo instead of in their react app.

Does anyone have any suggestions for tooling to enable us to build something like this?
As the author of HLearn, I 100% agree. I do all my actual ML work in python (which is most of my work these days).

At this point, the Haskell ecosystem just doesn't have the engineering support of something like tensorflow, and so there's no competition.
How do you turn someone around from this thinking though to realize that they can attract what they want?
I would buy one right now if it had larger wheels and proper brakes. In my area such small wheels would turn any speed bump or road irregularities (pretty normal over here) into a fatal accident waiting to happen.
I wonder how hard it would be to scan ingested maps for interesting submerged structures, and also roughly how many cars would turn up if it's feasible. I'd guess... O(100)?

Don't they all speak Cantonese/Mandarin Chinese?
Bootcamps are insufficient to a person being a programmer. Learning CS/math in a formal setting is expensive, and out of reach for many, and also may not prepare you for a job programming. These are not mutually exclusive.

One can learn CS at their own pace. Being interested and driven to learn is the difference between a bootcamp coder with only a few years of shelf life and a long career. Same goes for that CS degree.
>It reminds me of the "rootless cosmopolitan" slur

You have no idea how offensive and ridiculous that statement is to me.

It’s the reality that if you earn more than a certain amount of money, and posses an advanced degree plus a certain amount of capital, your relocation options are vastly greater than someone with fewer credentials, less capital, and a smaller salary.
> No one eats fake meat to be healthier.

I don't know that this is true. This is an NBC News article, written for an extremely wide audience. Consumers are generally pretty uninformed, nutritional science isn't always super straightforward, and I'd be surprised if it wasn't the case that a substantial number of people assume that meat alternatives are healthier for you.

The article does mention the real impact of meat replacements (though it's not great at this, phrasing it as "As always, it's only about helping a corporation's bottom line" due to the PR from increased sensitivity to climate change et al).

Abuse of the concept of a strawman is really rife here these days. Strawmen are relative to context, and you don't get to project whatever random conversation you feel like onto an article and then claim that it's not sticking to points relevant to that conversation. The article, for all its problems, is not making the argument that meat alternatives have no value.

I really love his trick of returning a pointer to the inside of his own allocated memory which is then compatible with C's stdlib string functions, while having his own string functions use pointer arithmetic to get the real struct back out and operate on that. Genius! This is the kind of thing that keeps drawing me to C every once in a while. C is almost like a puzzle, to figure out how you can accomplish what would be trivial in JavaScript, but with all these restrictions caused by an almost extreme simplicity. (Granted, C is not actually simple when you start hitting all the weird edge-cases and surprising UB, etc.)
I eat food from grocery stores, not from fast food restaurants. I buy burger patties and ground beef regularly, and right next to them in the cooler is a stack of Beyond Meat packages. I'm very influenced in my choice by which I think is healthier for me. It's not my only criteria but it is the primary one. So information about the relative healthiness of cow vs plant based burgers is very relevant to me. Not everyone reading this article is a hypocrite trying to justify their ranch dressing intake.

In the end I think that beef is healthier than pea protein isolate and canola oil. In fact I avoid both legumes and polyunsaturated oils, so this isn't a tough choice for me. The fat and protein profiles of beef are better, it has a lower carbohydrate load which helps to control diabetes, and is better tolerated by people with IBS.

I may be wrong, but don't pretend that people who disagree with you are trivializing this choice. It has a direct effect on how many healthy years we have left.
Why not abandon \0-terminated string and pass the length of strings as an additional parameter?

> By shifting from animal, to plant-based meat, we are creating one savory solution that solves four growing issues attributed to livestock production:

> human health

> climate change

> constraints on natural resources

> animal welfare.

You and article are both correct that the 1st of those four is a weak reason.

(FYI, Impossible Foods marketing promotes environment impact exclusively, no human health or animal rights.)

IPs and the account data you give them. And the complaint is not the collection, just that there's no listing that lets you know they collect IPs.

Seems extremely minor. I'm very far from disturbed.

Maybe in the US or SV but in Europe nobody outside research, academia and archaic engineering companies where a degree is a form of signaling, care about your degrees.

That’s also true in the US outside of the HN/Silicon Valley bubble...
Yes, and articles that do their part to debunk misconceptions commonly-held by these "dumb" people aren't strawmen. Popular coverage of misconceptions is a big part of how alternative facts and superstitions lose their power. That's the whole point being made here.

I agree that it’s sad that e-scooters are banned in the UK. I take the train to work and I have ~20mins of waking either end (1 hr 20 mins per day total). An electric scooter could save me ~40 mins per day....

Why are electric scooters banned when e-bikes are fine? What if they were capped at 20mph? Below the 25 for bikes
Are you criticizing the current system? Or my proposal?
We have the Jump e-bikes here in Atlanta, and I also prefer them to scooters. There are a lot of old roads and sidewalks with cracks that make riding a scooter can be dangerous. With the small wheels, you really have to pay attention to the road ahead of you.

Unfortunately, I received an email earlier this month that Jump is pulling all the e-bikes from the city. I wonder if operating costs or cost fo replacement make them unrealistic?
I'm blown away by that. How did you make the transition? I didn't know anyone transitioned from how I think about life to how you now think about it.

I've got "love what you do and you'll never work a day in your life" filed somewhere between "atheism is just a phase" and "you'll want kids some day".

(OP here) I am 100% not advocating the use of "power moves".

The "Ask HN" is meant to be of an "observational" nature. My aim is that the discussion provides utility for understanding social dynamics, and hopefully people use discretion with the info (i.e. Hanlon's razor).

Hopefully the info can be used to help people navigate their lives better.
> cutting red meat and processed meats

There's a huge difference between red meat and processed meats.

We're just pilling on here. I think we have learned by now that the value of these sorts of articles are somewhere below the bar required for reading them. Why do we care about an article about "food health" coming from a reporter?

Naive would be thinking you can conduct espionage without ever getting caught. Getting caught spying a huge risk, and unless you have an even bigger risk, why would you ever do that? What can possibly justify risking getting caught spying on the US? Israel isn't dumb, it's a simple risk analysis. Unless Israel has a bigger risk to protect against, than the US cutting off ties as a result of another polard, Israel would never do that.
It's true that plant-based meat's health claims are overblown, but could this article be any worse at criticizing them?

First of all, as others have mentioned, the main reason people go vegan or vegetarian is ethical concerns with animal cruelty, not health:

https://vomadlife.com/blogs/news/why-most-people-go-vegan-20...

https://faunalytics.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Fundament...

And this is a worthless criticism of plant-based meat:

has comparable caloric and fat levels as its meat-based counterpart ... more calories, more fat and more sodium than the meaty original

Different fats vary wildly in how unhealthy they are. "In fact, some fats actually help promote good health." [1] Saturated fats (mainly found naturally in meat) is much less healthy than unsaturated fats (mainly found naturally in plants) and Omega-3 fats (mainly found naturally in fish) [1].

This doesn't mean it's as simple as meat fats = unhealthy and plant fats = healthy: trans fats are mainly made synthetically from unsaturated plant fats, but are widely considered as unhealthy or worse than saturated meat fats [1]. Coconut oil, even though it comes from a plant, is actually a saturated fat, and the evidence we have suggests it is less healthy for you than other, unsaturated plant fats, although the same evidence also suggests that it's healthier than typical meat fats like butter and lard [2].

But presumably if that was the eventually standardized format the compiler could ship with browsers, though, right? It just seems weird to compare against another format that hasn't been agreed to either but they shipped the compiler with the browser preview so people can test it.

It should either be comparing sources or comparing (source + compiler to get it working in a shipping stable browser), not mixing the two.

I don't have any problem with someone being a republican or a conservative, but I can't and couldn't understand why someone would support a person like our current POTUS.

88% of Republicans think that Trump has done a good job as president, so if you think supporting Trump is not okay, then you basically do have a problem with someone being a Republican.
