> I hope the evolution towards "browser as OS" doesn't hurt the content vs interactivity separation.

What, exactly, is "content"? Are binary formats content? (Audio, Video, etc?) Are textual comments and notes on other text content, or is only the work being commented on content? Are languages that rely on unicode encodings content? Must content be static or can it change frequently, even second by second? (Stock quotes, for example). Must things be easily scrapeable to be content?

Furthermore, must we lock down the structure of content from now until the end of time as HTML or ASCII, or should future generations be allowed to define what they mean by content?

There may be merit in a separation of content from browser, but we should not artificially limit ourselves to content that only fits into our legacy notion of what a browser is. If the browser must become a general purpose OS that can host whatever content people can dream up, I'm all for it.
That's true but the real problem is for people who had no access to education and are truly unable. It's a privilege to have the choice to not chase success.
The article goes on to describe the skepticism in the scientific community: “...by the academic definition of imitation, Kashi’s response of circling Flanery after Flanery circled her would not be true imitation, because Kashi was already familiar with circling as part of her freestyle training. In other words, Kashi might have circled Flanery simply because, in the past, she had been rewarded so frequently for doing exactly that, rather than truly understanding the current task.”

The main point of the essay urges a closer collaboration between trainers and scientists in the field.
Is BYOB in this context "bring your own boobs"?

While it may be harder for the nurses to watch all the babies together, it's exacerbated by the fact that they're overworked and understaffed. It's crazy that with all the costs, staff is still in this position. This goes double for the ambulance staff that are constantly in high stress situations but get paid even less.
Don’t tell people, show them
Yeah, half the elegance of the linked expressions just comes from setting A = 1.

This is definitely well-known. I learned this under the name of "Vieta's formulas" back in middle school. Vieta lived in the 1500s.
psychedelics and meditation will get you there, just put in the effort to do the self inquiry. with some persistence and courage, you'll experience it first hand.
>It never ceases to amaze me how transparently people project their insecurities. I read your post. It was far too long, and all over the place.

It wasn't. Likely you just scanned it without any real analysis. The post is long because of charity to you. It was done with examples to help YOU understand. I have obviously failed to anticipate the complete nature of your mental aptitude. The logical conclusion is that you likely aren't intelligent enough to comprehend any of this, this is not my insecurity rather more you reassuring yourself that it isn't reflection of your intellectual abilities. Unfortunately, It is.

Also, Nothing was off topic, each part of my response was a reply to each point in your response.

>Provide me with a single resource that supports this claim (emphasis on "must"). I have found exactly zero corroborating sources that affirm the above, but many that (coincidentally enough all agree) mutability is an implementation detail in OOP. As far I have seen your logic is:

>1. Objects _can_ mutate state

>2. OOP uses objects

>3. OOP _must_ mutate state

>Something is amiss... But digress.

I have stated this point a dozen times.

Because we are COMPARING OOP with other forms. The attribute of MUTABILITY must be compared. Because THAT is the form that breaks the isomorphism between OOP and FP. Otherwise we are comparing the Exact Same thing. There's no point. That is the property that breaks the "semantic equivalence" So when comparing definitions you MUST incorporate the property of mutability. It MUST be part of the DEFINITION we compare For this reason otherwise we are comparing nothing.

I used procedural programming as an isomorphic example of this above and the comparison of Human Males and Females. Read it again, it may kick some of those brain cells into gear. You believe that you are putting more "focus" but rather your incapability of understanding things is making you perceive things as off topic.

This conversation won't go anywhere unless you address those topics because what you are doing right now is restating your opinion when I have already addressed why your opinions are wrong. So to move forward you must address why I am wrong about you being wrong. This is how discussions/debates go. That's an extra IQ point given to you for free.

Also big thank you for stealing my idea. You're a real stand up guy.

if consciousness was created by physical processes, what created the first consciousness? consciousness has always been and will always be, the physical realm is just a play of form, temporary and changing and your identity on this earth is also a temporary form that ostensibly begins at conception but is actually is process that goes back to the origins of the universe and beyond the physical realm, to a supreme intelligence and consciousness that is behind everything.
Aside: I think your quoting strategy is most confusing of all since you bother to use ">" once but then never again. Just use it for each paragraph you quote and don't worry about italicizing.

It wasn't until this post that I realized the italics of your upstream post wasn't your original content. I don't find it nice to squint at the text to see when it stops being italicized to know when you've started your post. But a final ">" is easy to see.
This comment is deeply ironic and lacking in self awareness.

>take YOUR politics outside, and make more room for MINE.

The only ones trying to enforce political opinions on software development are those who claim the status quo is broken. Those who push for vague COCs as political tools to oust anyone with inappropriate opinions. People who put developer feelings over merit and productivity. The rest, and majority, of us are just trying to write code.

The only way to legitimately act as though "everything is political" is by playing a bastardized version of six degrees of separation, and in doing so insufferably forcing the polarization of any environment in which one participates. If you can't separate politics from work and entertainment, you have a serious problem.
Vote up. I think it'd be a great primer for more complex concepts.
There is almost no point is using prepared statements in MSSQL anymore, not for a long time. The only benefit comes from not sending the prepared statement over the wire each time and not having to hash it to do a plan lookup.

That benefit is so very minor compared to the time taken to parse and plan the statement that almost none uses it, for more details:

In PG its seems to be the only choice and on top of that isn't even shared among connections, this honestly blows my mind and will have to remember if I move anything serious over to PG.

I like PG a lot and it does a lot of thing MSSQL doesn't but this is a big missing performance piece.
There are battery factories in China coming online in the next couple of years that make the Gigafactory look small. I expect that batteries will follow a boom/bust cycle like DRAM does.
"Eschew flamebait. Don't introduce flamewar topics unless you have something genuinely new to say. Avoid unrelated controversies and generic tangents."

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

HN has had countless generic arguments about the US health care system. Turning a thread about something else into one of those is a step in the wrong direction. The major controversies eat up all the smaller topics, but the smaller topics are what actually gratify curiosity.
Calling it a VC firm is a much nicer thing to say than PE.
> So our new baby came out two months early and had to spend six weeks in the NICU. [...] This NICU costs about $100 every hour your baby is in there.

Sorry, so the bill was $100,800? I'm from the USA and... I know... should be used to this savagery by now, but wow. This makes me jealous of my counterparts living in countries with civilized health care systems, and extremely grateful that my own daughter was born on time and healthy. I could barely afford the (post-insurance) multi-thousand dollar bill I was charged for a normal delivery!
Might be worth structuring this like a normal Go project (eg. right now this is in a package called "src", which is not great) if it's meant for education. Also the listen address is actually a port, not an address. Might be worth making that a generic address so the user can specify an interface to listen on.
Thanks for bringing this up. As mentioned in our blog post on the subject (https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2019/07/30/gitlab-acquisitions...), we'll consider other types of acquisitions, but this is a streamlined process specifically for soft-landings. I've opened an issue to clarify this on the handbook page. https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/corporate-development/issues/4
The frequencies they're using are fairly susceptible to rain fade. You can fix that by throwing more power at your transmissions.
Put your finger on screen, move it quickly enough down, lift it while moving, so content still scrolls inertially. As opposed to put, drag, stop, lift.
I would agree except that we wired all rural areas with power and phone lines when it was far more expensive and had far less utility than internet alone has now.

Also, you claim that "remote settlements" have little economic value, and yet their economic value is highly restricted when they don't have access to the internet so how can we claim that to be true?
You mean besides overseeing the removal of a popular moderator, which caused other moderators to publicly quit in protest?
Doesn't that just factor down to "the more you have, the less you need?" Which makes perfect sense.
I suppose I probably overstated the situation a bit. The PRC National Intelligence Law ( http://cs.brown.edu/courses/csci1800/sources/2017_PRC_Nation... ) requires, "Any organization or citizen shall support, assist and cooperate with the state intelligence work...", and China was observed making its own certificates for foreign sites before this ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5124784 ), but there's no direct evidence that China actually has all the root certificates currently or has used them maliciously. Of course, the law requires citizens to preserve secrecy and Westerners can't observe what China is doing, so that wouldn't be unexpected.
Hi there,
are you based in US? KNX is not fully certified in US, right?
I spent fair amount of time trying to find good switch actuator that is US gang compatible. But did n't find anything good.
Also this says nkx is not certified in us: https://www.cepro.com/news/will_european_knx_home_automation...
ADHD (at least in my case) makes context switching, and switching back, easy (it's a core symptom, this is the reason we have difficulty focusing). It's rare to hear one of us say "now where was I?".

I equate it to the threading model; instead of a single thread, we have a main thread, and x (let's say 5) additional threads running in the background. Our scheduler is peculiar. We can swap the main thread for a background thread easily, but we can't stop the background threads from running, and when unmedicated, they all fight to be the main thread, trying to tempt the scheduler into switching over. Hyperfocus occurs when the main thread panics, and the scheduler assigns all of the other threads to dump their workloads and help. You’ve spent your life adapting to keeping up with expectations using 1/6th of your processing power. Now all 6 cores are working on the same problem and you temporarily have a superpower.

From what I understand (and this is an oversimplified layperson's understanding, so forgive me), we are unusually low on neurotransmitters and messages have a harder time making it across long distances without unusual effort.

It is by default difficult to maintain hyperfocus. It is a skill that needs to be practiced and exercised; but once you get it down, you can maintain it while switching between completely unrelated tasks.

Hyperfocus is triggered when tasks are mentally taxing. As long as everything I am working on is difficult, I can work on 5 tasks at a time (switching between them at interval) and complete them all quickly and effectively. Busywork is what stops me in my tracks; as soon as I don't have to think, I am dead in the water.

How you handle maintaining hyperfocus depends on the situation; early in my career, when presented with a busywork task, I'd either automate it (ramping up the complexity), or take on a difficult stretch goal and switch between that and the busywork every x minutes so I can keep my brain awake. Now that I can pick and choose what I work on, I just take the hard stuff and nobody seems to have a problem with that.

Fun fact: most of the "genius" movie tropes are just exaggerated ADHD symptoms and hyperfocus quirks.

As more Americans are arrested and convicted during their younger years, we see an association with a variety of negative trends later in life, including lower chances of being married and less economic success,” Smith said.

Also, prison time increases divorce rates.
The cold reality of life is that some people on this planet are not looking to make friends no matter how hard we want them to.
But that is where it ends with him. Debate doesn't have to be healthy to still be debate, but he isn't stopping the people from saying the things against him.

When you start trying to create laws or compel companies to shut down speech you disagree with or don't like, either through the guise of hate speech laws or "stopping disinformation", that is the scenario we are scared about that is rampant for abuse.
Quite an ironic thread from a security company. "We don't store your password, it's our randomly generated one!"
The change in dev culture worries me more than the change in technology. At least Flash sites used to be considered bad taste. Dare to grumble about something unnecessarily requiring gratuitous JS now, and you'll get berated as an out-of-touch Luddite who needs to shut up and get with the times.
Sure, and living in a mansion is a far better experience than living in public housing. We're talking about service as a "right", right?
Turns out, women do not prefer men with criminal record. And quite likely, dont like all those consequences on life after their release either.

It's an act of logification.

Hey there. I'm sorry that whatever situation you find yourself in has you in such a negative state of mind. You too can make changes to turn around your perspective. Best of luck!

Major bills are dictated by party leaders and administrations, very rarely by normal senators and congresspeople.

He's been in the senate since 2007, 13 years. Before that he was a congressman for 16 years. He was an independent except for 2015-2016. Surprise surprise, that makes it hard to get things passed in a two party system. His votes matter. And he still has authored almost twice as many enacted bills as Obama.
>So why doesn’t the MTA embed accountants with every major project in the world and get to the bottom of this cost disease?

Like with any organization, follow the incentives. I'm betting the performance reviews in the top half of the MTA are pegged to metrics that don't have to do with service delivered per dollar.
Would you also congratulate a terminal cancer patient on their opportunity to become a better person? Did you honestly read what you wrote? I am a real person, with real feelings. This is not a feel-good movie: it is real life. This is horrid and you are telling me to be grateful for my suffering.
As always, watch your units or your result is meaningless:

The first power is in Watts. I'm pretty sure the second is some sort of political unit of influence.
I don't quite understand the mechanism after reading the article. Is the attacker (presumably the PRC) MITM'ing these CDN resources at the infrastructure level? If they had exploits in place within these CDNs (presumably within the PRC's capabilities) HTTPS wouldn't help, no?
Cheap food is "overproduced" so that a bad storm doesn't cause the price of bread to rise 3x in a week. Without food subsidies, food shortages are a constant threat.
A long time ago I knew a young woman who was facing breast cancer, I don't remember what stage it was, but she said doctors told her she might only have a year to live, even with aggressive treatment. She had accepted her fate and was just trying to live her live as well as she could.

A few months after I met her, she was killed in a drunk driving accident.

On the other hand, I also met someone who had a brain tumor when she was in her 20's, her life expectancy was unknown, her long-term boyfriend at the time left her because he couldn't deal with it. When I met her she was in her mid-40's, happily married with kids - she had successful surgery to remove the tumor.

Everyone has a limited lifetime and you don't always know how short it will be.
If the CEO of GitHub gets fired it should be because he mismanaged communicating that GitHub shouldn't be the moral arbiter its customers. I think GitHub leadership's morals align with Microsoft's here. I also share this moral framework, I don't want private companies creating an extra-judicial layer of subjective morals. You shouldn't pick and choose who your customers are for many reasons.

Both can be true:

- That ISOC was reasonably justified in taking a lump sum rather than operating a registry.

- That the sale of the registry was corrupt and not in the public's best interest.
Denmark only does this because of public pressure. Until recently, or perhaps even now, Denmark had a dangerously high use of antibiotics in livestock production using far more in routine dosing of livestock than in treating humans.

European countries are getting serious about the threat of antibiotic resistance, the US not so much.

This is largely the case in America today. All you have to do is look at where political contributions come from and the amount and source of the money spent on lobbing. In addition, take a look at who traverses the revolving door between the financial sector and powerful government positions.
Honestly if that analysis is correct then on one hand I concede that it does make the decision appear less like pure bribery than I initially thought but on the other it's even worse for .org users.

Maybe I'm wrong to consider this a zero-sum game, but surely if ISOC made a good deal selling .org that means that Ethos Capital got the short end of the stick. That means that eventually they'll realize that they can't make as much money out of it as they had hoped. And then what will they do? Agree to continue operating the TLD at a loss? ell oh ell. It's more likely that they'll either attempt to extort more money from people who can't actually afford to migrate or "strip" the TLD for parts somehow.

On the other hand if ISOC bet on the wrong horse they've lost the Goose that Laid Golden Eggs, and they'll be in a worse position to help the open web. From the point of view of people believing in the ethos (ha!) of what .org is supposed to stand for, it seems like a lose/lose situation.

I still don't really think it made sense to greenlight that deal for purely monetary reasons, I think the people on that board lost track of their objective, which I think is what the author acknowledges in part in his conclusion.
No, USA never had such a "problem with violent crime" to justify anything like the evil we've done to the incarcerated in this country. Maybe the media or politicians told you that, but they were scamming your prejudices for attention and votes. Violent crime is much lower now than it was in decades past, but that's true of pretty much anywhere else on earth. The violence we have is mostly a result of drug prohibition (which could go away anytime we decide we'd like less violence) and our colonial legacy. Comparing USA to Belgium is for suckers. The nation to which we are most similar is Brazil. They also have more violence than homogeneous non-colonized nations.
So the people working for minimum wage would be better off if they didn’t have a job at all? If all of McDonalds employees all of the sudden were out of work - taxpayers would pay more.

What’s the percentage of people that work at McDonalds are working there as a primary income?

Isn’t kind of hypocritical that you criticize McDonald’s profitable business model but you’re okay with all of the startups - including ones that are backed by YC who are losing millions of dollars but are able to access capital?

Five Guys also costs a lot more. The people who eat at McDonalds every day couldn’t afford Five Guys.

And if the magical competitor becomes available, are they going to be able to sell food as cheaply as McDonalds?
Depends on the timing with respect to market demand / production volume of EVs. As battery prices come down due to increased production / economies of scale, EV demand will go up so it could be a smooth transition. It could also turn into a glut/bust scenario like you say, but I think we'll see the factories scale up production to meet demand rather than running at 100% from day 1.
I wonder how hard it would be to fix their systems...

It is mind-boggling that people find their browser experience “crippling” without a feature like scroll bar highlighting. Is it hyperbole, or are you unable to cope in e.g., PDF readers as well? Is your line of work in visually investigating the appearance of words in 1000 page HTML documents?
