> broke my fast with a big burrito and got refeeding syndrome and was hospitalized for a day.

How is this possible? Is that common?

Edit: looked it up. This is a real thing.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refeeding_syndrome

How I wonder how to avoid triggering this. Are there metabolic ramp up guides?
The automobile also changed land use patterns dramatically, and the truism is that transportation is land use. See eg Cleveland, Ohio, which now has roughly the same population as it did in I think 1940, but takes something like 4 times the land. So people in 1900 didn't have to travel as much to access a similar amount of opportunity, because things were closer together.
Uber and Lyft seem to be engaged in a race to the bottom that's degrading rider experience as they struggle to bring costs and revenue into line.

It feels as if there's still a market opportunity for safe, clean, timely rides. Zoom did something similar for web conferencing, which at the time was regarded as a solved problem.

This is a design decision, not some inherent research limitation. And that’s not the main issue for do notation either.

Yep, look at the incredibly limited streetcar and trolley system in Portland in the early 1900s. Really wonder how people survived.

This 1000x. I try to keep a pool of those kind of tasks when I can't concentrate on my main task so I still feel like I'm making some progress. It's helped a lot.
Agreed. tried replicating this with org mode, which required an extensive learning curve to meet the needs akin to what you listed. Although at some level it did the job, I could imagine a tool that does it better.
Yea, that’s pretty cynical. It maybe had an inkling of truth when the companies in question were wee startups. But working at FANG companies these days affords a pretty nice work-life balance.
The difference would be that the European countries where people are watching subtitled TV are also teaching English in school. So you have both the proper education, as well as repeated, practical reinforcement and exposure.
I know someone who learned to drive in an older leaf.

In some ways a better experience. The accelerator is drive-by-wire for instance, so acceleration is smooth. The regenerative braking means just lifting your foot slows you down.

One wierd part was the driving test asks about putting the car in "accessory" (which the leaf technically has, but is hard to achieve without studying the manual). Other evs don't even have it.
The app wouldn't build the infrastructure though, a controller on the cluster would. If you're using e.g. kube2iam or kiam, then only the controller would receive permissions. If you're in AWS and the controller uses CloudFormation to provision the resources, you can define a service role that CloudFormation will assume. Then your controller mainly just needs PassRole permissions for the service role, which means you don't need anything close to "root" privileges on your cluster.
Wrong Again
Nice. Escaped backquote acts as function at the car of a list.

``(\` ,(+ 1 2))`` yields 3.

``(\` (,(+ 1 2))`` is equivalent to the unescaped ```(,(+ 1 2))`` both yielding `(3)`

Pretty crazy.
And once that happens, it is going to turn the auto industry upside down. Some ice companies like VW realize this and are rushing like crazy to be ready when it happens. The companies that aren't doing this today are likely going to go bankrupt.
Yeah, getting into a place without Internet, launching Steam in offline mode... and Steam insisting on phoning home in order to switch to Offline mode was infuriating !
Why do you believe that inheritance is not parasitic or rent-seeking behavior? Large fortunes exert a gravitational effect, attracting more money and thus making their owners much more powerful than they would otherwise be.

The way I see it, the unchecked growth of intergenerational wealth is how we end up with aristocracy, and I would rather prevent aristocracy from rising than try to overthrow it once it's entrenched.
My friend told me the chances of a teenage driver having an accident is close to 100%. Put them in a safe car.

Um, did you accidentally mix those two up? I think you meant Class B controls Class A. No?
Well, seeing that a lot of public pensions invest in both private equity and public stocks, what’s the difference? Your government is still taking the same amount of risk.

Let me tell you about a personal anecdote:

My mom retired from teaching probably about 15 years ago. She was approached a year later about working for a program with the school system for at risk kids. It was based on a federal government grant. When she did the math, she would only be able to work about 10 or 15 hours a week at the rate they agreed to pay her and it not affect her teacher’s pension. She volunteered to take a pay cut - that was under $15 an hour - so she could work more hours and actually help the students. Should she not be allowed to voluntarily work for less?

My own wife when we met was working a job that allowed her to support herself and her (now our) two kids and live in one of the best school districts in the area. She voluntarily took a lower paying and lower stress job that again was less than $15 an hour so she could be on the school schedule.

On a less anecdotal level, there are freelancers in California who are complaining that the government “stepping in” to “help” Uber drivers has made it harder for them to stay freelancers. Jason Snell the former editor of MacWorld who gave up his job to go freelance said the law made it more complicated for him.

I mentioned before that the average 7/11 owner makes $35K a year and puts in 60+ hour weeks. What do you think is going to happen if he is forced to pay $15 an hour? Have you seen the balance sheet of the average small business? Not everyone gets to be subsidized by Big Daddy VC while losing millions of dollars.

Anytime you have government unnecessarily involved in price fixing you get unintended consequences.

Really? I feel like a navigation stuck to the top on a phone is a must. Scrolling on a phone us much more complicated and tedious than with a mouse; as long as it's small and not intrusive.
You mention a variety of solvable (and in Wegmans' case, solved) issues.

The system I'm talking about is scan-as-you-go. No issue with the size of the bagging area. You're just putting things into your reusable bags directly in the cart.

Produce codes are simple - every produce display is labeled with a four or five digit code, and there are scales with label printers scattered throughout. These scales also display a bar code for use with the scanning app so you can forgo the label entirely. Even the folks going to a human cashier use these.

I've also been fairly impressed with their self-service UI when my phone's been too low on battery. Several years ago when they tried it out the UI was abysmal - it's clear they've made serious improvements in that realm and I've found it fast and user-friendly.

I like being able to decide how I organize my stuff. I can forgo bags for cases of soda, I can make the bags heavier than a cashier might, I can load them up based on how I'm going to unload at home.

Wegmans has kept the human cashiers, incidentally, with no noticeable increase in lines. Self-service is thus far an option, but one I prefer.
The meta coming out of scientific experimentation has been showing that intermittent fasting is an effective tool for a number of dirt related disorders, including obesity. To see experimentation in this space is really exciting, along with further experimentation in actual dietary intake (such as vegetarian/vegan diets), it appears that a major source of energy expenditure, the Ford we eat, can be massively scaled back while improving our health and quality of life.

I've anecdotally watched the practice of intermittent fasting in the way described (but using a 8 hour window) improve the love of those around me and for preparation for athletic events otherwise. I hope that more analysis in this space allows people to live healthier and more meaningful lives.
Ya you have to break your fast slowly. Maybe start with a salad, then keto foods, then carbs if you're into it
Yes. ARM and MSP430 will surely dominate servers anytime soon.
By anti avoidance laws I mean laws to prevent the legal avoidance by some means. For example to prevent Microsoft allocating its profits to a DVD stamping plant in a tax haven you could make a law requiring the taxes to be paid where most value was created or some such.
As an American, I always feel stupid when Europeans apologize for their countrymen's language skills. Sure, French people might not be as good at English as Germans, but nevertheless, I've met a significant number of French teenagers who spoke better English than I did French, even though I'd been studying longer (sometimes much longer) than they had.
I don't think so. Things just don't move that fast in the auto industry. Each car generation lasts 4-8 years. The average age of cars on the road right now is 12 years old. It's taken 10 years to get to 2% EV market share in new vehicle sales even with enormous subsidies. At $100/kWh, a car with 300 miles of range will still have a $7500+ battery, which is too much for sub-$20K cars to still be sub-$20K cars: unless every single auto maker abandons the low-end of the market, someone's going to still be making gas cars for those buyers. There won't be an electric car charger on every street and every parking spot at every apartment building for decades at best, which means people without their own garage to charge in will not be clamoring to switch to much less convenient (for them) electric cars. People will still be buying and driving gas cars and non-plugin hybrids for a very long time, no matter how fast battery prices fall.
Doubt is an understatement. lol
Dependent types are slightly different — dependent types depend on values. Since Aphyr is working entirely in the type system, there are no values.

So I have one and I noticed what I consider a minor pop when shuffling around in a video. I noticed it I guess, but not enough to care. It’s not loud. On mine anyway. I’m surprised anyone noticed it enough to write about it.

Haven’t seen any ghosting.

My only complaint at the moment is, holy crap does this thing get HOT.
excellent point! and falling real estate prices - people will distribute out of the cities in search of lower land prices and "cleaner" life style.
the paper gave words to what i am feeling these days.
It could all be summarised to “Narrowness of experience leads to narrowness of imagination“.

Thanks for the link.
You might be interested in the service I'm building, which does a similar thing in a more structured way: https://djrobstep.com/ci-for-databases
I acknowledge the link you cited and would like the ban for confirmation. The rest of what you said sounds nice but in practice seems mostly geared around practicality since otherwise you'd have to make it harder for new users to create accounts. Over the last couple years political posts and comments have only increased which violates other guidelines but is tolerated presumably because of manpower costs and because the point system ensures overly inflammatory viewpoints are eventually quashed regardless of their content.
Slower sites should be ranked lower for the same reason a dictionary that isn't alphabetized is less useful than one that is and both are less useful than dictionary.com. I'd rather have Webster than Oxford if Oxford will take twice as long and I'd rather not have urbandictionary.com over either -- hence a weighting.

Moreover that even if google could give me the canonical result[0] to my query its likely I will need to visit and view several sites to get the information I am searching for - information I will obtain faster when the sites are faster.

[0]Any ranking will be probabilistic and in all likelihood for common topics there will be multiple candidates within the expected error - why is it so great a sin to order them by accessibility?
Unfortunately, it is either cheap or quality. And news flash, as someone who just recently built a new home, even the "expensive" stuff is hardly "quality" these days. We are paying more for homes with cheaper, younger, less treated wood that rots and warps faster (partially thanks to over-regulation). Majority of what is being thrown up in my city are 450-700k+ McMansions that are "stick built" and will almost assuredly have a host of problems in the near term.

Quality is just so rare these days. Everything is built to be replaced in 5-10 years.

American homes are a sham. My grandmother's home back in Greece is 180 years old at this point and I fully expect it to outlast my current home.
So you're saying borrow checking is the one thing that can't be modelled as a monad?
What standard of living do you consider "livable" and what percentage of the 7.7 Billion people on the planet actually live at that standard?

The "living wage" thing is a marketing weasel phrase. It's intentionally non-specific and encourages the listener to fill in their own idea of what kind of lifestyle a "living wage" entails. I would encourage everyone to ignore "living wage" marketing weasel-speak and only listen to concrete, specific goals.
"Extreme Ownership" by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin. I highly recommend the audiobook, it is narrated by the authors and is very engaging.

Some of the comments in this thread say that military orders and life and death situations don't apply in the business world. But that isn't what this book is about, the advice is really the opposite of giving orders the must be followed without question. And the lessons are explained in ways that clearly relate to business management.

I don't have access, but it sounds like they're comparing against ad libitum, not food-matched (or even just calorie matched)? The interesting question to me is whether it has benefits beyond making calorie restriction / avoiding junk snacks easier to adhere to.

>How many people on HN wouldn’t have a job at all if their company wasn’t subsidized by VCs?

I can't tell if this is satire or not.
Eh not really. The idea that stealing because you need to in order to eat/have a place to sleep being a lesser crime than stealing to be wealthy makes a lot of sense to me.
In a very fundamental way, there is no such thing as "wealth creation", there is only wealth acquisition. Wealth is a zero-sum game.
No business actually makes money (well apart from a government mint:), but they do move it from elsewhere. No VC creates wealth - they get money from other people, perhaps in exchange for goods or services, but at the end of the day the total amount of money hasn't changed.
I respectfully decline to answer any questions - - my attorney speaks for me in all matters.
I'm an example of your pet theory.

It's also the reason why there's a moderate correlation (didn't actually research this) between small EU countries and English ability. Small countries are better, because they don't have the resources to dub their series.

This used to be more true than now. The Netherlands has been regressing a bit in their English speaking ability precisely because children tv shows aren't in English anymore (though there's still plenty of opportunity in NL, there simply used to be more).
A few hundred a day means a lot to the franchise owner. It really means a lot to the mom and pop pizzeria down the street or the owner of the convenience store.

>Also "relatively new" is still accurate in web terms, which has specifications dating to the 90s.

The majority of web features are relatively new under this definition.
Most people don't go that route because they have more important things going on in their lives.

AMP isn't about solving one-offs or making users improve their own experience. It's about improving most people's experience by default.

I don't like AMP, it frustrates me, and I think Google's fucking up in their implementation, but it actually _does_ do a good thing.
For the record, I think I should come back and correct myself here. I actually paid attention to jobs posted in my metropolitan area for a few days after this discussion, and I was wrong.

While the ratio of junior:senior jobs isn't as low as it is in SV, it's not nearly as bad as I made it out to be. There are still more non-junior jobs here, my previous statement notwithstanding.
They should have gone step further and done string interpolation how C# and JS can do. Really nice to use and avoids errors.
> The military demands that soldiers immediately and unquestioningly follow commands given by their superiors (particularly during combat).

I don't think the way you've phrased this is quite accurate, although I understand what you're getting at.

In the book the author discusses how it is the responsibility of leaders to plan missions and to ensure that all voices and concerns are heard during planning. It's also the leader's responsibility to ensure that a decision about how to proceed is reached. Once a decision is reached though the expectation is that it will be carried out without question (I don't have any quotes handy unfortunately).

This sounds awfully similar to Amazon's principle of disagree and commit. I think this principle is congruent with the way the way the book suggests that leaders should operate.

From my own personal experience I think this is actually a really important principle. I find nothing more frustrating in a team environment than when one member of the team disagrees with a decision and decides to take it upon themselves to head off in their own chosen direction. It's very frustrating to have team members not following a plan.

I use a similar setup. The "whitelist" is a zone served by a local authoritative server like tinydns or nsd. There is no remote server. Using a local cache such as dnscache or unbound is optional. Spotting queries to an attacker-controlled domain in the tinydns logs would be easy. The tinydns logs are invaluable for determining what domains our servers and applications actually need to function... versus the ones that serve the interests of third parties for telemetry, ads, tracking, etc.
N = 1 here

I'm Dutch and have a close friend who's Hungarian. His English is as good as mine. The only impression I got is that he needed to actively seek out opportunities to speak English whereas in The Netherlands you're bombarded with opportunities.

I do think it helps a bit though, but it's easily trumped by opportunity itself.

So should we force companies to pay a “livable income” for the teenager staying at home? The couple with two small kids and the mom staying at home to raise them? The single mom who has to raise three or four kids on her own? The single person in the story who needs expensive medical care to stay alive?

When I was 14 I worked as a busboy at a BBQ place. For like 2 weeks, before they found out I was underaged and fired me. I was never so exhausted in my entire life, before or after. And I was a strong swimmer when I started that job, and was quite fit.

I worked at gas stations after that, before college, and while it was tiring, nothing at the same level.

I can totally imagine a pizza job would be draining.
Using machine learning to accelerate ecological research
Ah, I've been looking for a name for this.

So this applies to software systems as well. We had a system where, every time we optimized the underlying database, it became slower . This puzzled us for a while. Turns out that people were used to the slowness. When they found out that the system became faster, they actually started entering more transactions. As more people noticed, the system got overwhelmed again. Until it reached a point where it could finally handle the load.

The variable we failed to see is that people were leaving work earlier now. Even though the system's metrics appeared to degrade, that was a metric that markedly improved. They used to work longer hours to get all their work done.
So technically "kill all the orcs" was interpreted correctly
