Oh, thank you, and hi from Australia. Yes, I have been meaning to write a blog post but have been too busy but still will do so in the future. There are definitely aspects of it that people might find interesting. Briefly, there hasn't been any card frauds, and the math can be inserted using Katex syntax. In terms of storage it is a bit too early to run into any problems. Specially, since users can export their data anytime and before they hit the quota limits. In terms of what has been popular on the site, I don't monitor user's data. Only which pages is visited more often. I can see that both Markdowns and RTF notes are roughly visited the same amount.

Thank you for sharing that link. That is good example on what can create more traction. Cheers.
There is a concept of healthy narcissism in therapeutic circles. Everybody is somewhat narcissistic and making sure it is not a negative aspect of one's life is the key. The pop psych model is an easy label.

The whole thing is a descriptive generality, defining someone's character is difficult.
Isn't this linear in the size of the vocabulary for every token you want to generate?

Agile doesn't help you here. It might only take a day to fix this issue in your code base. But then it will take months to get it tested and approved. And then it has to be rolled out into the organization and periodically analyzed during the rollout until it's done. Given how large airlines are and how many people interface with an airline booking system Agile's "contribution" to development timing is meaningless here. You could spend a day making a fix and a couple years watching that fix slowly percolate into the organization, followed by another couple of years waiting for all the travel agents to stop calling and complaining about how this impacts the workflow they've had for the last 20 years.

I don't think many vegetarians or vegans would disagree that meat was historically important for human survival and development. Meat was (and still is in many parts of the world) one of the easiest ways to attain calories and important nutrients.

The difference for you and I -and everyone else reading this- is that we now have easy access to meat-free alternatives. Plant proteins and mycoprotein are readily available in most developed countries. Machine pressed oils give us cheap access to plant-based fatty acids. Today we can easily get all of our calories and important nutrients without factory farming and/or slaughtering animals.
All good suggestions ;)

Empathy is overrated and is actually part of the problem sometimes. People are wired to feel empathy for members of their ingroup and to not feel empathy for members of their outgroup, so relying too much on empathy just creates a collection of divided subcultures, which is what the Internet really looks like to me.
Also in compliance training, as mentioned in a different reply to you, we talk about disparate impact. As I'm sure you can guess, this principle implies that sexism can be thought of as an outcome, not just the result of explicitly "evil" attitudes.

My wife is from Myanmar, where most people only have one name (no first, last, etc.) and has experienced endless frustration since immigrating here to the US. It's been quite difficult for her and even limiting in some ways and she's broken down in tears more than once.

Some places just put a few letters into each field (like say for the name Jessica, first: Jes, middle: si, last: ca, or something like that). The DMV did that, and then listed her name on her license as <last>\<first> <middle initial>. Others have insisted on putting "nosurname" in the last name field. The immigration people put "FNU" as first name, and her given name in the last. At some places she's put her name twice, once in the first, and once in the last.

Not anything close to what she's had to endure, but my name doesn't fit the standard mold either. I prefer to use my middle name and really dislike using my first name (shared whith my dad, who I don't have a good relationship with). I'm endlessly having to explain every single stinking time I interact with pretty much anyone.

Anyway, the take away is, please please please (!!!) don't make assumptions about people's names! Ideally just one field labeled "name", and let the user interpret that as they see fit. If you need to collect a legal name then you need to validate it anyway. If you really must do first name / last name then at least make the last optional and also include a field for "what should we call you" or "nick name" or something.

The only thing important for a CEO is their effect on bottom line and stock price. If the effect is that people collaborate less, but results go up, maybe more collaboration is not necessarily always positive. So in my opinion, just using these metrics and no economical metrics gives no useful answer for those who need to hire a CEO. On a further note, the tendency to blame things on other people's personality types is akin to a modern-day astrology.

2 cans of coke is 72g sugar or about 18 teaspoons + the added sugar in your food -- it's everywhere: soups, cereals (even bran flakes), bread, yogurt, spaghetti sauce, ...

Your body is awesome at surviving on whatever you give it. You can eat like crap, and you'll feel totally normal once you get used to it. That's why sugar is everywhere and yet people don't notice it. They consume it regularly and their body adjusts so they feel normal, even healthy. Yet, increase the sugar (or decrease the sugar, and then resume normal consumption) and you'll feel nauseous and sick.. for me personally, it feels like I'm getting the flu. (But if I do this several times, it'll go away and I'll feel the same as before but with a higher sugar intake.)

You're probably consuming a lot of sugar. I try to avoid it, and I can tell you soda tastes like a disgusting syrup. If you're able to drink that, you've adjusted to a high sugar diet. It's unbearably sweet.

But just because you've adjusted to it, doesn't mean it's not having an effect on your body. You might feel healthy right up until you get diagnosed with diabetes.
To add to above comment, WHO recommendation is "no more than 6 teaspoons (25 grams) of added sugar per day for women and 9 teaspoons (38 grams) for men" [1]

IMHO any GUI toolkit needs to work with multiple languages. So please dont make it Rust specific.
I can't recall exactly what steps I went through. It took quite a lot of time. It was one of those rabbit holes where I spend two hours thinking I'm just 10 minutes from being done. If I recall correctly, I did the conversion in hopes of getting my aged Chromebook and phone to load the PDF more quickly; scrolling and page turns were just choppy and slow enough to be an annoyance.

As to the conversion itself: I think every page was just an image (which was fortunate, as I'm not sure how I would do this otherwise) so I extracted all the images with something like mutool, converted them using jbig2enc after figuring out the flags to use to ensure lossless compression, then use some tool (ghostscript? imagemagick? some dedicated image-to-pdf program?) to smush it all back together.

So the flow was original.pdf -> [page1.png, page2.png, ...] -> [page1.jb2, page2.jb2, ...] -> new.pdf

I can't recall the original format of the images. Obviously it was something less efficient, but it was lossless. Presumably the images were compressed using the less efficient scheme because whoever scanned the pages didn't know they could twiddle some knob on whatever scanner or scanning software they were using. Or there was no knob for them to twiddle.

I am prone to buying a book about the subject. Problem is I already have too many books and honestly I don’t read them all. I didn’t read much technical literature before Uni, and didn’t know where to find information about technical subjects growing up (even as I was of the geeky type).

My main problem is what to focus on. Not how to learn it. I guess reading a blog post instead of paying Amazon would be good for me. :)

In some or even many cases neither need necessarily apply.

It doesn't always have to be a populated valley that gets dammed. There's a decent selection of disused quarries, maybe some of the Highland lochs that have potential to create something like Dinorwig at minimal disruption to environment once complete. What I don't know is how those constructions compare in today's money to alternatives. Still, £70bn brings an awful lot of choices, especially when lifespan is indefinite, just periodic turbine replacements.

If the geography isn't available there's the Netherlands project that's pumped storage on entirely flat land. Involves building an artificial lake, with a cavern and turbines below it. Suitable rock for the cavern is quite a long way down, which adds to the cost, but also adds to the head so it should end up with significant capacity. As far as I know it is the first such scheme, so costs are projection only at this stage, but it looks pretty interesting if it turns out to be viable economically: https://o-pac.nl

Or the UK company that has a plan involving winching weights (thousands of tonnes) up and down disused mine shafts. The open question of course is how many of the world's thousands of disused mine shafts are going to be viable. If viable the advantage seems to be very low surface profile.

If it were all that obvious, we wouldn't have so many abusive narcissists in positions of power. I'll leave politics aside, but just taking companies in the news this week, we can look at Adam Neumann and Travis Kalanick as narcissists who couldn't even get a company to IPO due to failures of collaboration and integrity.

The article correctly points out some of the direct economic damage. It ignores the significant damage to people done by abusive narcissists; from personal experience I can say it's substantial. You can see that in the interviews with WeWork employees.

But another kind of damage is what they prevent from existing. Kalanick was aggressive in killing competition; Lyft was the only one he couldn't spend into the grave. Neumann has deeply distorted the market for coworking. Or we could look at Zuckerberg [1]; what kind of open social networks could we have ended up with if he hadn't ruthlessly pursued a personally-dominated monopoly?

There are all sorts of reasons.

In some Irish families (mostly older people now), people had a Gaelic derived name and a legal English name, because the authorities banished Gaelic names. When you do genealogy, it’s very difficult to track people in certain circumstances as spellings and references change.
So you sayyyy that he flew off the handle because he's an SJW or whatever, but because his initial assumption continues to be proven correct as more data is accumulated... it seems like you are wrong that it was an overreaction.

One of the most frustrating and crazy-making aspects of participating on HN as openly female is the frequency with which one must politely endure phenomenal open disrespect from people trying to position themselves as pro women's lib while violating the guidelines here concerning how to engage respectfully with other members. The only thing more crazy making is that there tends to be hell to pay should a woman dare to point it out or otherwise try to defend herself.

For me, it is made more bearable by the quiet support of the many people who upvote my comments and posts, flag the worst replies and comment thoughtfully on pieces I submit.

Yes, sexism is very much alive and well. I get to experience it on a daily basis.

It still does little to no good for powerful men to engage in public white knighting and level accusations they cannot backup.

I will note we are reading his tweets on HN, not his wife's. We are discussing the opinions of a powerful man, not a woman. We are reading them largely because he is a powerful man, not because he can back up his assertions.

Discussions of this sort are sometimes a case of "two steps forward, one step back." But as a woman participating in them, they all too often feel like a dystopian bit of theater in which men get to claim virtues they don't have and treat a woman badly while loudly proclaiming themselves against this evil thing called sexism.

One nitpick is that the autho reversed the meaning of active and passive health checks. Active generates new traffic to the backends just to determine their healthiness, passive judges this based on the responses to normal traffic.

> The code to handle the special cases of invalid inputs can sometimes have dramatic effects on code size and performance, sometimes too much to bear for code that should never run in the first place; allowing for garbage output to be produced for garbage input instead of a result that says "this is garbage input" could well be acceptable.

That seems solvable by refactoring your types a little. Also, some languages do not allow partial functions - such as total functional programming languages.

This is the worst faith take I’ve seen for the NSO and “right to jailbreak” I’ve seen in a while. Apple does not knowingly sell devices that spy on their users, and the NSO circumvents this by allowing other people to “control” your hardware (which is hacking, not control over your own devices, if it isn’t clear). Nobody is mad at Doom9 because it circumvents unpopular DRM without hurting the user of the software (some may argue that it actually helps users avoid being harmed by the products they’ve bought).
This is precisely proving my whole point.

The debate would be about the actual effect size as compared with the way society determines subjective value of things like marathons. It would have nothing at all to do with the relative effect size compared to some other benchmark like “rush hour.”
The MegatronLM example is a weird one. Neural network language models are replacing n-gram language models that grow to several terabytes for SotA results; 8 billion parameters is tiny by comparison.
> Mods take a more hands off approach. And users kinda moderate each other with upvotes/downvotes.

This is what originally made Reddit awesome but the reversal of which has been slowly killing the fun. Mods have hijacked Reddit and turned all of the popular subreddits into their own pet newspapers which they are the chief editors/owner and only they themselves decide which content the users will enjoy.

You basically can't post any comment or post which doesn't fit with the popular opinions/ideology/etc of the sub without getting banned or rejected from most subreddits these days.

That was entirely unsurprising, especially these days, when it happened on the various shamelessly partisan political subreddits. But about two or three years ago I saw it start spreading into other areas like city/country subreddits or generic news subreddits. Now it's on all the major subreddits and based on the moderator newsletters and other admin posts the whole hyper-involved and super careful power-modding approach seems to be encouraged by the Reddit admins.

HFCS contains slightly more fructose than glucose. It doesn’t follow that this would be any worse or better for you than if you were to ingest pure dextrose, fructose, or glucose. If you are ingesting these in high quantities you are damaging your liver and pancreas way worse than even drinking alcohol.

> the current approach of simplistic, repetitive, and often technically incorrect news articles and half-informed scolding by politicians

That's not "the" current approach, that's your selective perception and/or framing. Democracy restrains governments, not people. At some point "failing to convince" has to translate to "shun and withdraw support from". We can't possibly throw away the human species because "some people weren't convinced there is an issue", as if they were children and the others adults with a burden of convincing, which does not exist. Climate change has been warned about since I can remember, it's certainly been a topic in the last 20 years. At this point, no adult has a solid excuse anymore.
