Check out some of my other comments and profile. I think one way to learn new talents are to enter into the domain fresh and behave like a beginner. With that in mind, a lot of beginner's work is about repetition, rather than constructive, which I believe is why it can be difficult to learn something new.

So, for example, learning a new programming language - I'd say commit to completing the same low level assignments that you needed to do for your first language. Hell, if you still have them, redo them in the new language. As you move up in your understanding, then start to see what you can build with it. Or even simply "try" to implement it in the new language.

Much of that first hurdle comes from devoting the same time amounts that you did in the past. It's easier to do at a younger age due to less responsibilities. As we get older, we still need to devote the same amount of time, but it's harder to do with competing activities vying for our attention. I've liked the term "attention economy" [1]; however, instead of advertising, I view a similar thing for education.

Indeed, the article mentions this explicitly:

>While most hoaxes on Wikipedia are short-lived (90% of discovered hoaxes are flagged within one hour of creation and only 1% of hoaxes persist for more than a year), those that make it past this initial screening have an increased probability of continuing to "survive" and remain a part of Wikipedia for much longer (if a hoax survives past its first day, it has an 18% probability of lasting for a year or more).
Creators can still see the likes.

I doubt they would get rid of this, however if they do a cynical take would be that it will boost advertising dollars. As you need to pay to see any metrics.
It is probably infeasible to make a wide body aircraft the size of a 737 - if they could, they would. The ergonomics (and economics) of twin aisles is vastly better than single aisle planes.

Chiefly, that wind and solar require much more of it.

The author isn’t worried about the takeoff speed in that quote; he’s thinking about the increased duration of the flight as stiff winter headwinds (at cruising altitude) decrease the aircraft’s groundspeed.

If you are driving across Kansas on I-70 you can take a stop in Junction City at Freedom Park. It is right at the exit on the south side. A short climb up the hill past some other artillery gets you to the M65. It’s more or less targeting Salina which is a 20 minute drive down the interstate.

You can get right up to it. And it hurled nuclear warheads a 20 minute drive down the interstate.

Now that I double check the satellite photos, it isn’t so much aimed at Salina as Hope, which seems fitting.
I must have skimmed past that. Whoops. I avoided trying it out because it's not available on firefox, so I couldn't correct my assumption by testing it. Also, couldn't easily find copy of the extension source and gave up.

The site/extension basically has to do that each time it scrapes locally (or use generic parametrised scraper) If you wanted to use it in an API, my impression is that you can run it in chrome as an extension you need to get from the chrome store or tunnel your data through a third party server. Is that wrong?

Can you scrape data locally without running chrome/the extension? I can't tell from reading the site, sorry. (if it's actually there, please link an anchor tag to it or something please)

> If you race through chains of synonyms, changing between definitions along the way, you can get almost anywhere. Why does this matter?

I am not racing through chains of synonyms.

What I was trying to elucidate was that the use of "dumbest", when the repo is ".../simplelb", and the very first line of the README says the project "is the simplest Load Balancer ever created" might, just might, lead people to think that "dumbest" is being used in this context as a synonym for "simplest".

Which might, just might, cause people to consider it for uses this project is not intended to satisfy.

The 757 was too big for what airlines wanted out of narrow bodies. Now it’s the same size as a 737 MAX 10.
Agreed - the lifespan argument is really not portrayed in an accurate way. Besides, France is basically screwed - it hasn’t been able to expand its energy supply beyond population demands (ie it doesn’t and couldn’t support a data center economy). More than likely they will be buying energy rather than generating it in the future — unless of course someone can get the salt reactor commercialized.
"Are telecom companies not realizing how much they are hurting themselves"

After seeing cable companies fail to get into the internet, I'm convinced companies try to stop progress instead of embracing it. They don't see progress as an opportunity, but rather as a threat. They don't realize how much they are hurting themselves.

I read an interesting article on here about the rise of the cell phone camera, the amount of R&D into it compared to traditional cameras, and how slowly traditional camera manufacturers have progressed. Sure, cell phones have to overcome a smaller sensor... but traditional camera sales have been obliterated.
I never knew the Bhima Koregaon would be such a politically contentious issue that would compel the government to spy onto citizen’s cellphones.

What further surprises me is that this article speaks only about India. Hasn’t Pegasus been used by other governments too?

Yup. It's also famously incompatible with the wider ecosystem because it's not a drop in replacement for net/http. There are other criticisms I haven't really looked into as well.

Not meant to be my own criticism, just an observation. I believe the net/http interface ossified its own design decisions making it hard/impossible to be compatible with?
My wife has a hyphenated first name and no middle name, Like Mary-Claire Smith. It's very annoying for all kinds of systems, and usually results in some kind of compromise like separating the hyphenated name into first and middle, which isn't a huge deal, but does not match her documents and isn't really her name. Ugh.

Type certificates are not about pilots; they're about airframes. Maybe skim the link?

> A type certificate signifies the airworthiness of a particular category of aircraft, according to its manufacturing design (‘type’). It confirms that the aircraft is manufactured according to an approved design, and that the design ensures compliance with airworthiness requirements.

And to be clear, since it seems my comment was also not totally clear: I'm not saying aircraft regulation / Type Certification is bad in general. Just that this particular implementation currently has unintended perverse incentives which lead to the 737 MAX.
It's not. I didn't realize Rust had that, but the rest of my comment still applies: it would be nice if asynchrony was transparent to intermediate functions and compiled via specialization.
Yup. That explains what happened to both Alan Turing and Donald Trump.

> But if you don't do any research to find out if it is production ready, you aren't a production ready dev anyway.

Seriously? Is victim blaming somehow more acceptable than just clearly stating that a project is not meant for production?

And why is the suggestion of including a simple disclaimer so repugnant?

What is so wrong with saying "this is an educational project and should not be used in production systems"?
> It's very very easy to see what kinds of styles of music and singles people prefer over others, or what advertising techniques lead to more listens by analyzing who likes them. It’s super logical.

Sounds as though you're competing with an AI to make music for Instagrammers.

Which, now that I think about it, would make a cool short story.
Quality does not waste time, quality saves time.

That's a mantra from production engineering, but it applies just as well in any engineering activity, even when constructing abstract machines.
The most pertinent point in that is meant to be 'relative to the size of the community'.

There are small communities on reddit that act somewhat like the old-school forums (and presumably a small handful on hacker news, although its a bit harder to happen on-site here due to the lack of the channel mechanism, so if it DOES happen here, its more liable to be because of some connection to a real-world/pre-existing network or a specialised subject-matter selectively clicking on stories and augmenting their communication within the greater online community of HN).

My point is, among the wider HN community, unless your friends fall into the handful of 'celebrity' accounts, those names that you know would likely be anonymous names to most commenters who identify as/are identified as HN posters.

The point is ALSO though, that you're able to do this while maintaining the HN identity, and the HN forum interface, even though relative to HN accounts the accounts of your friends are tangentially approaching 0% of users. And you do this because the news-aggregator mechanisms allow you to self-select into the posts relevant to your interests with very little effort, so you don't FEEL like you're excluding from the community/or being excluded against, even though you're not reading most material and they're not reading yours, and most have no idea who anyone else on the platform actually is.

Scaling like this isn't realistically an option for "Cyberspace security, compiler and UI toolkits forum: your number one place for security, compiler and UI toolkits discussions!".

The last points that i didnt mention was also opportunity cost (in terms of how many networks individuals can actively participate in) and network effects (where do most/key individuals end up spending their time resources). The popularity-based metrics of the news aggregator sites are extremely powerful draws of the majority eyeballs relative to the webforums, and then network effects emit another draw even if there are holdout users who prefer web-forums.

> Can somebody help me understand how sugar in orange juice is somehow magically healthier than sugar in soda? As far as I know, it's all just glucose and fructose.

Reductionist reasoning in a complex system is extremely dangerous. Eg: fruits have sugar mixed in with a lot of fiber. Therefore, the rate at which glucose enters the bloodstream (and the resulting insulin profile) is very different compared to a orange juice or a soda.

Taking a step back, the simplest forms of cooking / food processing that humans have done throughout history is by applying physical transformation on food while leaving underlying chemicals mostly invariant. If that did not affect the biochemistry, then food processing would be basically pointless. That wasn’t all done for taste!

It is hopelessly naive to believe that biochemistry of a complex organism could be reduced to chemistry of simple constituents like glucose without any regard to context (conditions and other constituents).

Its only “self dealing” when you haven’t granted yourself that right, if the organization type has a constraint from the government or if it doesnt then if the organization type doesnt have bylaws specifically allowing you that right.

WeWork was structured by Adam to give himself that right my mere nature of unilateral control via consolidated ownership and voting rights.

Part of the grievance is that his “self enrichment” torpedoed the IPO, which is not part of reality which is that employees and “minority shareholders” were sold and bought a dream that the market was laughing at the whole time.

WeWork’s structure was always rat infested with a valuation nobody would accept. These payments wouldnt have changed that, its debt load, burn rate and subsidiary structure was the problem.

This case has no merit and that court is not the venue to air these grievances.

I think a more effective idea would be to push for exchanges like Nasdaq to reject listing companies with these share structure attributes.

> Women tend to have lower incomes and lower net worths.

Very true, because they aren't as smart and they don't work as hard.

No, wait, sorry, it's actually because there are stereotypes about women that aren't even remotely true that are reinforced decades after they were found to be offensive through institutional sexism such as the gender pay gap and the glass ceiling.

So, maybe the lower credit scores simply reflect the deck stacked against women in the workplace.

The short lifespan of renewables is deliberate and correct.

When technology is changing rapidly, optimizing for long lifespan is stupid. The long life of a nuclear reactor is an illusion now, since solar and wind are improving so fast that they would not operate their full 40+ years.
One can also use voice recognition to send texts if talking is more appealing as an input method.

I previously thought of this as something old people do because they can't type on a phone, but I tried it, and it does provide a more rapid, conversational way of creating text.
> 2) "conditioning on credit score which is correlated with gender" is not conditioning on gender. The algorithms that derive credit score from a set of credit data do not condition on gender.

It does if the algorithm is based on flawed assumptions, or worse, fed data based on institutionalized sexism.
> so Rust cannot just take the same approach as Go

I did not suggest that it do so. In fact, I suggested an approach that wouldn't fit for Go!

In Go, you've got pretty strict modular compilation. Because of this, specialization -- which is pervasive in Rust -- is virtually absent in Go. Rust's rich generics system demands robust specialization machinery. This machinery, which handles instantiation of explicit generics, can be repurposed to handle automatic instantiation of implicit generics. In this case, I'm suggesting that a function could be compiled as either synchronous or asynchronous as determined by the use-site.

> In Rust, every bit of async implementation (futures, schedulers, etc) is a library

Nothing about my suggestion precludes this.

Well, if you know a better way to get the relevant facts without throwing a fit on social media until hopefully a state AG takes note, then maybe we’ll all do that next time instead.
GP's larger point is fair enough. But it would be telling, and germane to this discussion, if it turned out that many of their experiences were due to the fact that remarks they consider to be just "statements of fact" are more contentious than they realize.

I subscribed to both Science and Nature for a while but dropped my Nature subscription about 2 years ago. They constantly spin off specialty titles and limit archive access to 1997 and later. They were also adding a lot of sponsored content that wasn't clearly marked. For a comparable cost, Science allows full archive access and the publishing group has fewer titles. I'm more likely to find articles in a field I haven't heard of before. Science's sponsored content, and it does have it, is easier to spot and ignore.
I really wish Instagram had a proper "share" feature. The current state of sharing is these idiotic feature accounts stealing work from artists without paying them, reposting them with almost zero credit to the artist (they typically hide the artist credit under rows of single "." or "---" so that the credits are pushed down beyond the "..." button), and Instagram promoting the feature account's post to peoples' discover pages instead of the original artist's post, resulting in tte artist getting very little exposure. It would be much better if it presented itself as:

Artist's name [Follow button]

reposted by (feature account name)

I'm plenty frustrated with actual sexism of the sort you and others here keep insisting is the entire explanation.

But, no, that's not remotely the entire story. Other factors that help suppress female income:

1. They tend to spend far more time on unpaid activities ("women's work") than men.

2. When moving to a new city, a man is very likely moving to a new job. This usually entails a pay hike. A woman is much more likely to be following her man's career to a new town. This typically involves taking a pay cut and derailing her career aspirations.

3. Men are more likely to pick a college that supports their career goals. Women are much more likely to attend whatever happens to be locally available and affordable.

4. Men who start businesses are typically making a career move. Women who start businesses are more likely to be starting a "lifestyle business" to accommodate other demands placed on their time and energy, such as special needs children.

I'm sure I could go on. I've read research on the topic for literally decades to try to understand where my life went wrong, but it's ultimately pointless since I can't cite specific sources, most of the members of HN aren't familiar with such stats and, no, just taking my word for it as a SME in the sorts of things that have negatively impacted my life is simply not anything anyone here will do.
Even though the results weren't terribly illuminating, I have to give the author a lot of credit for even attempting to do a proper experiment like this. So much of our programming dogma is based on gut feelings ("it looks cleaner") rather than empirical data and peer-reviewed studies. We have very vague notions of what works, and even vaguer notions of why those things work.
