For German learners: It‘s a compound word. In German, and in English to some extent, you can join words to create a new word, e.g. Abstimmungsbekanntmachung (election notice).
They generalize in that case because there usually isn't a way to know your individual risk factor. I don't really see how that same principle applies to personality, which is obviously much more visible.

Because plausible deniability. It is obviously difficult to create a legal system that could prosecute any of the executives. It’s obvious that all of the well seasoned executives were hoping to pawn this off into a bigger fool, but can you prove it in court? And should that even be illegal?

All that happened was a bunch of rich people paid for a guy to live like a king. They certainly suffered financial losses, even though they may still be rich.

A bunch of rich people lost money gambling on a guy. Laws requiring transparency before access to public markets brought it to down to earth. It seems to me like the system worked well.

It's certainly worth keeping in mind the limitations that you describe and human's learning activity is certainly not as the rationalist intuition. But to take these limitation as entirely characterizing human activity seems bend the stick too far the other way and fly in the face of the many ways humans have modified their environment and adapted to those modifications and fairly often learned with only a few examples. And sure, plausibly a fair portion of those quick adaptation involve reworking basic facilities like vision. The whole thing is consistent with the neocortex sitting on top of the rest of brain and serving as a means to rewire it.
It's hard not to read this comment as, "I don't like the conclusion, so it'd be better if we simply stayed ignorant of these facts."

Why do you need to be 'sold' on scientifically verified knowledge?

> The article makes a vague attempt at balance by noting that individual differences are more important than these statistical variances

This is not an "attempt at balance", because individual variance and group averages are not competing ideas or opposing ideologies that must be balanced against each other.
Either HN bans paywalled links, or it bans downvoting people asking for a back channel to the linked content. Seeing this same pattern every time is getting really boring.

I get it. I agree. Content isn’t free. But I can’t sign up for everything, and this site is meant to be an aggregator. There’s no point aggregating content that we can’t see.

Yeah, that mirrors what I’ve found. Hoping to find something smaller than SF/NYC that’s also dense enough to be walkable. A book I read called “Happy City” mentioned streetcar suburbs (suburbs built when streetcars were dominant for commuting) as good options for walkability, but I’m not sure how to identify those without knowing cities pretty well.
Usually when you acquire a company you sign of some intent lettet that shows you are serious about the purchase provided they can pass your smell test.

Then after NDA's and a few other docs if a company accepts being purchased they have to give access to their internal docs. Finance books, IT, etc.

If during this "due diligence" period the buyers find a major red flag they might pull out, revise the price down, etc.
Ah, so it does. I just didn’t see the end of the GIF.
This has nothing to do with Natural Selection itself. It's incorrect to say this is "Darwinian"
How would you even discuss this topic without talking about averages? Short of assuming every man and every woman are all clones, it sounds impossible to me.
Because the documentation seldom is good and almost never really good. Long and "complete" documentation isn't the same thing as good documentation.

I have a piece of software and a task I want to accomplish. For example, list files ordered by size in ascending order. ls' man page tells me how to do that, but I have to piece the information together because it is arranged option by option. Thus, I'm forced to read more than what I'd like.

Or I can google "ls sort files by size" click on the first link https://alvinalexander.com/photos/linux-ls-command-how-sort-... and voila.

Most people writing docs don't get that people learn by example. Thus the docs they write lacks examples and therefore are not very useful.

Umm the dos 640k were paged, non contiguous. Additionally, smoothly editing larger texts back then required some clever linked lists of blocks to give a truly instantaneous editing experience for inserting text at the beginning of a large text. Those were the 286/386 days.

Today you have fancy rendering, and an instantaneous editing experience for that reason again suggests a more sophisticated data structure for the editor.

Which all text editors have, when you look inside vi/emacs/nano/whatever...

This GC does not probably survive to pointer scrambling. If believe in C I can validly do something like

int *ptr = ...;
intptr_t iptr = (intptr_t) ptr;
ptr = NULL;
iptr ^= MAGIC;
// do something else
ptr = (int*) (iptr ^ MAGIC);

At the end of this ptr is again a valid pointer to the same thing it was pointing at the beginning. However, if a GC scan will happen during the "do something else" block, it won't see the actual pointer value and it might free the pointed object.

I don't think it is possible to write a GC for C if the program is allowed to do this kind of things, because there is too little structure at runtime. And in any case, this kind of GC is not a GC "for C", as it heavily relies on knowing the compiler internals.

EDIT: Re-reading, I didn't mean to be harsh. This is still interesting to read, I am just noting a weakness that is not mentioned in the article. BTW, I know that glibc actually does some pointer scrambling like I said to mitigate some types of attack.

This is completely true. But even the most robust theories in psychology are particularly weak at making predictions. To write the whole field off as having little scientific merit would be at the very least a defensible position to take.

All I’m saying is it’s not reasonable to take such a stance selectively against findings that you personally disagree with.
There’s a hacker mentality to it. Disenfranchised, possessed secrets, passed on knowledge.

I discovered over the years that I like solving business problems, but in that context programming is purely utilitarian and just a tool like I would use in another industry. But since I also love coding, I code in my free time without any constraint other than having fun and improving.

So for me the solution was simply moving away from an every day developer job at work and more into a product management/CTO like role.

> The problem is that generally people use these kinds of articles to extrapolate from group to individual--and that's generally not a good idea.

Conversely, people assume that any studies or discussions that even tangentially touch upon this are meant to encourage extrapolation from group to individual (even if they explicitly state the opposite, this is dismissed as lip service).

I don't think I have seen this elsewhere. Is there a reason?
> Actually it's quite easy to get a residence/work permit in the EU

EU has nothing to do with your residence/work permit. That is a national process and the rules differ (If you have a residence permit in EU you free to travel, but not to work in the whole EU.)

We just discussed the issue at work (Finland) the other day. We get a lot of applicants from outside of EU and not many local ones. The official duration to handle an application for a work permit is 4 months. That includes only the time when the authorities "have the ball", not the time they are requesting additional information. So in practice better plan for 6 months. Which employer is willing to wait 6 months for a new employee they don't really know yet?

Germany is officially searching for non-EU IT workers. Whether that makes the process much smoother I don't know. I remember reading the number of successful cases has been disappointing.
It's interesting to ponder the points made in this essay with the recent discussion about "FUSE for macOS is no longer open source" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21759967

The FUSE situation would seem to be a key piece of evidence supporting Dr Mark Tarver's main thesis that writing open source generally doesn't pay or mostly pays corporations who are in a better position to monetize the value in the software. His linked essay at the bottom about Stallman states the Stallman offers no economic model that would pay a programmer for their labor and states that may be because he has no business experience.
> It’s obvious that all of the well seasoned executives were hoping to pawn this off into a bigger fool, but can you prove it in court?

The 'wealthy people' involved could sue in civil court and win based on a "clear and convincing" evidence standard and a proven pattern of bad behavior. You'd imagine it'd be worth a try. It would also be a reputational matter for the institutional investors who put money in the venture - sue so that people are unambiguously deterred from trying stuff like that in the future.

When I used to take Amtrak in the US routinely for a 6 hour ride I believe it was 0% punctual by a definition much much weaker than that. I don't believe it was literally ever delayed less than 30 minutes.

Also in the US airports you can't always rely on security being less than 30 minutes (barring TSA precheck), so the idea of missing a flight because the train was 10 minutes late is an absurd thought here.

I lived in Europe for the past couple years and as an American it really is shocking how drastic the understanding of public transit fundamentally is in the minds of the public at large.
"Ich stand unter Zugzwang" is just as correct as "Das neue Produkt der Konkurrenz bringt uns in Zugzwang", although being "under" Zugzwang sounds more common to me. You could also say "Das Produkt sorgt für Zugzwang".

> Also, the author of R language said the performance of R is sub-optimal.

That's from 2010, even before JIT compilation in R became a thing. And since then, much has been done in terms of the computational performance of R.
You're allowed to do that, but the standard is making no guarantees: C11, § 6.3.2.3(6) “Any pointer may be converted to an integer type. Except as previously specified, the result is implementation-defined, might not be correctly aligned, might not point to an entity of the referenced type, and might be a trap representation.”

I'd consider pointer scrambling to be a pathological case because of that.

Similarly, C11, § 6.5.11(2) constrains XOR to be only valid on integer types, but not on pointer types, further suggesting that you're not really supposed to be doing this.

Food prices are very low in Germany. They are extremely low, if you cook yourself and even restaurants are not that expensive in international comparison.

But indeed, if you go to extremely cheap places, you can have really bad food too - but that is independant of the food style. They make bad Italian food too :).
Best JavaScript deep clone library
I live in Switzerland and in my anecdotal experience with only a few samples of each (which is not statistically valid but affects my immediate perception nonetheless), Amtrak has been somewhere around as punctual as Deutsche Bahn including on Amtrak's longer routes. The long-distance Amtrak routes also have far more comfortable rolling stock, but that's only natural for a 10+ hour route.

I once took a Czech train which was perfectly on time to connect with a German train which was delayed enough that I'd miss my next German train, except that delay ended up not mattering because the second German train was also delayed, but then the second train was completely canceled so I ended up waiting in a random city to be rerouted on completely different trains.

I'm sure DB is better than Amtrak in general, but the current state of DB is much more pathetic to me given its better performance in the past (AFAIK, tried to find data on this). The infrastructure and political will seem to exist to do better, which isn't generally the case with Amtrak, so it seems less excusable to me.
SGI workstations had software that only ran on SGI workstations, they had hardware that did things that consumer PCs just didn't (like 3D hardware before that became a consumer item)

The Mac Pro isn't different enough to categorize it along the lines of SGI. It doesn't run software that regular Macs don't, it doesn't have any particularly special hardware, it's "prosumer" equipment, not "professional" in the sense that SGI and similar were. In other words, it's a PC.

That's not a bad thing, by the way; we all have amazing computers now, and we should be glad.

Sichuan pepper is responsible for neurological dissonance. It’s of the citrus family and is a ‘false pepper’.

It creates a numbing sensation and when used with chili peppers of moderate heat, it tricks the mind into thinking that it’s hotter than it really is ..the tingling and numbing sensation leading to the nervous system trigger the same responses as though you are eating something excessively spicy and hot.

I want to say..maybe a rush of endorphins. If you had just the Sichuan peppers alone, there would be no spiciness or heat. Just numbing and tingling. It’s a neat hack.
Devadoss and O'Rourke: Discrete and Computational Geometry (2011)
Sort of agree, but sometimes hard replies can be the slap-in-the-face that makes people rethink what they're doing. Someday these parents may look back on the lovely little people they created and remember how much effort they spent trying to avoid being around them.
It doesn't seem like they tried to imply that given that they stated the diversity of broth options in Japan.
I just quoted four other 30 year periods in the late 1800s and early 1900s that were just as hot or hotter than 81-10. You are just comparing an above average period with an average over 150 years. Ok, that says nothing, if the data set is cyclical and you cherry pick a trough or a peak to make a point, you're being dishonest.

I wouldn't bet that.

Yes, cafeteria food can be increadibly bad to the point where I wonder whether the cooks are especially trained to achieve this. With the same costs as in ingredients, one should be able to make much better food. Also, they often overuse cheap oil, so that can be difficult to stomach.

If you get well cooked German food, a lot is outright excellent, with the style strongly varying across Germany. Northern and southern German cuisine is very different. I personally prefer the southern style. Also, there is quite a bit variation between south-east (Bavarian) and south-west German cooking. In a sense there is a food continuum between France and Austria, with different parts of southern Germany on different points of that continuum.

Likewise, if you go to eastern France, like the Alsace, the French food blends with German cuisine.

There were many jews that, more or less sincerely, converted to stay. We that have a family name that references an animal, like Lobo, León or Aguilar, are probably descendents of jews.

Crypto-judaism was a damning suspicion for a long time. A prime minister from my hometown changed his name from Méndez to Mendizábal. Former sounds jew, while the later sounds basque. Also he didn't mention where he was from. Actually, almost nobody in my hometown knows he was a local, though it also might be because he confiscated most properties of Catholic Church:
