On a related note, a lot of folks feel air fresheners actually make the air fresh. Don't they usually just hide the smell?
Am I the only one thinking that this was no "excessive air freshener use" but more like someone huffing flammable gasses?
>> Diversifying AI faculty along gender lines has not shown great progress, with women comprising less than 20% of the new faculty hires in 2018.

I am wondering what is % of women doing PhD in the same field and whether it is growing. Without the latter number growing it would be hard to have a greater % of women among new faculty hires.

There was a thread a few months ago on HN about non-violent communication

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21263894

which elicited a lot of comments about how much they disliked this type of conversation

reading this comment makes we wonder if its not more a function of 'non-violent communication is a tool people use to bring up subjects they would otherwise avoid; there's basically no way to talk about a lot of these subjects in a manner that doesn't bother people; ->-> if these is something you're going to pay costs on if it doesn't get brought up, using the tool of non-violent communications is one way to handle these costs'

This list makes me sad that I missed out on so many of these weird corners of the internet over the last 10 years, and fills me with a weird nostalgia for a time that may not have even existed.

I always wonder how good and productive people who claim this are in reality. Personally I consider typing as a strong bottleneck for my productivity. I type all the day, and the less time I waste on transfering my thoughts into commands, the more time I have for focusing on the important parts. Not all typing is for textediting, but editors like vim&emacs are not limited to textediting.
You cut off the relevant part of the description. It tracks your sleep cycles so it can wake you up when your are naturally in a light part of your sleep cycle. That way you aren't going from a dead sleep to being jolted awake by an alarm. I used it for years and really liked it.
What's your plan for changing human nature? Non-verbal communication of emotion is so important to human communication in general that it seems highly unlikely that any training scheme will overcome the dislike neurotypicals typically feel for communicating with people who fail at this ability. I think the concept of "uncanny valley" is relevant here, which is widely believed to be real by neurotypical people. Something which looks human but does not act as expected of something with human appearance supposedly produces instinctive feelings of revulsion in neurotypical people.

The only realistic option for low-risk in-person social interaction between autistic and neurotypical people who do not know each other well enough to predict emotional responses without needing to rely on real-time decoding of non-verbal communication (which is a learnable skill, but try having a conversation about an unrelated subject while busy programming to understand what it's like) is emotion-detecting AR glasses. The alternative is segregation, and lacking AR glasses, many autistic people do self-segregate.
> At least the goal of the public sector is to serve the public whereas the goal of the private sector is to serve the interests of there shareholders.

Goal, yes. In the abstract. Unfortunately, humans run everything. Most humans are decent and will try to uphold the public good. Some get into positions of control and decide they can profit off of it, so why not?

Society's constant struggle is to keep these greedy F*'s from screwing the rest of us. Just like freedom must be paid for, so must we constantly root out corruption and greed.

Trying to use a carbon neutral energy source for emergency power is very likely to have a higher carbon footprint overall due to the fixed cost of a rarely used infrastructure.

For example, on a much smaller scale, before leds were so incredibly cheap, incandescent bulbs were more energy efficient overall than alternatives such as fluorescent lights for places that were rarely visited. Think cellars, attics, service closets ...

Me and my friends had a lot of fun as teenagers using aerosols for a similar purpose. We'd scavenge old aerosols from our parent's houses and use them as the propellant for spud guns and the like (we didn't blow up any cars, for the record).

I think the trick was to find the ones with propane propellant rather than butane. I also suspect that the (rapidly boiled) moisture droplets from the aerosol would have added to the explosive force too.

Eventually we decided to go straight to the source and got ourselves a little oxy/propane welding kit. That worked a treat. I'm kind of surprised B&Q sold that to a bunch a teenagers actually.
Some theories:

(a) laziness

(b) wanting to avoid discussions about whether the exact way something was written was fair to some GC or another

(c) wanting to avoid "can't reproduce these exact numbers on a different CPU or different JDK version" discussions

(d) the code doesn't matter since these microbenchmarks are not the actual application you are interested in

Seriously, if you are interested enough in this that you would be willing to run the benchmarks, you presumably have some JVM workload you care about. (Or you could just grab a standard benchmark suite.) If you are interested enough, you can run your workload with the different GC flags and see what they do for you, in your context. Being able to reproduce the author's microbenchmark numbers on your laptop would not tell you anything about how your workload of interest runs on the big servers (or whatever).

Chapbook looks nice, but even after first glance I see a lot of things potentially missing, such as possibility to redirect to "death passage" from each passage if health drops below zero. Maybe it will be developed in that direction, but for now I feel Snowman should be a default choice for any developer trying out Twine, because you basically code everything in JS.
We have a lot of python code, along with C++ and Java, and it is an absolute nightmare dealing with python. If we include conda-forge as a channel, dependency resolves can take hours with the right/wrong combination of packages. We can't easily replicate environment across machines, and build times for our conda packages can take tens of minutes, just to copy a few py files around. We hate it, but our ecosystem is built on it (data science/ML/etc), so it is what we have to deal with. I always look at these threads with hope, but then envision the nightmare that would be involved in moving to poetry or some other system.
The fuel:air ratio for getting high is way richer than the fuel:air ratio for combustion. Also if you're getting high off it you're probably not going to want to waste it. I'm assuming butane was the propellant for the air freshener since IIRC that's a common propellant for things that are supposed to smell nice.

The data we have is the 737 MAX itself that stands out in the backdrop of ever increasing safety. That happened. The 787 possibly being a safe plane is irrelevant and doesn’t change that.

Except if you look at the actual political discussion, that's not the idea you will get.

The vast majority of American political discussion is centered around the idea that "real Americans" are those living in rural areas, when in fact a few years ago the majority of Americans live in urban zones.

But further, there is a pervasive belief that it's those rural areas that are keeping the US economy going, and pretty much all political economic discussion is based on the idea of catering to rural areas economic needs, when in reality, as this article shows, the overwhelming majority of the US's economic output comes from urban areas.
The wages are stagnant because the demand for labor is not sufficiently high. So either the supply of labor needs to go down (which it is slowly as population is decreasing in rural areas), or the demand for labor needs to go up. There is no other long term solution. One can argue for subsidies to ease the transition, but a permanent subsidy situation is not ideal.

It's definitely a book that I thought benefited from being read by the author - strongly recommended!
How to Read a Book has been on my list for the longest time. I might have to finally give it a go. Is the book very dense? I think one of the reasons I've held off is because I have a suspicion that it could probably be distilled down to the length of a magazine article...

I read a decent amount and enjoy it, but I feel in the end I don't get much from it. The time doesn't feel well spent. FWIW, I try to alternate fiction with non-fiction.

It's interesting because I can entirely see where you're coming from because Debord really does have those tendancies in his writing, but if you consider his background with the Lettrist movement and all of the avant garde artistic techqniues that they were experimenting with in the 50s (Check out some films by Isidore Isou) then you can see his later obscurantism as a development of those techniques and as an attempt to imbue those techniques with the same philisophical and political impact as his core message.

The book is really very tightly packed with ideas, working as it does.
They do display that comparison—that the counties they identify represent 32% of the GDP, but only 22% of the population. Still, they also show that it's been pretty constant, so I don't know if it's a meaningful grouping.
What’s really interesting to me is the shortest version of Poulaine shoes around 1 to 2 inches is actually functional as it prevents stubbing your toes. Making many modern styles slightly less functional. Enduring design elements often have these subtle benefits which are easy to gloss over when they become exaggerated due to fashion.

You even get zombie designs with modern architecture keeping various elements that where designed for airflow pre AC in homes that are kept sealed for efficiency.
My wife is Japanese and I’ve spent a few years living there. We also have a child, so I’ve experienced many of the differences in American and Japanese parenting styles.

When I read this article, I don’t see amae as something uniquely Japanese of course, but I do see how it is perceived differently in the two cultures. I think the point behind the article is that indulging in amae (both with children and as an adult) is more socially acceptable in Japanese culture than in American or other Western cultures.

> the Japanese were portrayed as this unique society where you need to say "excuse me" before approaching a stranger on the street asking for directions.

I agree that part is not really unique, but if you are an obvious foreigner and stare at a map in a train station for more than a few seconds, a stranger will come up and ask you if you need directions. Maybe it is just people who want a chance to practice their English, or something (since they all have to learn it in school, but do not get a lot of chances to use it in daily life). However, I have literally had someone walk me halfway across the station and wait with me on the platform to personally see me get on the right train, during the middle of commuter rush hour, even though it was not the way she was going at all. That kind of stuff only happens to me in Japan, and it happens to me there repeatedly.

Of course, in the modern cellphone era, navigating Japan is not the imposing challenge for foreigners that it once was.
> The reason it was optional is because AOA doesn't mean anything to civilian pilots and the option only made sense for airlines who hire ex-militaray pilots who can actually read the AOA indicator and make sense of it.

Do you have a source for that because as far is I can see it is rubbish.

Military pilots are probably more familiar with AoA as early swept wing aircraft needed to be flown with careful attention to it. However several civilian accident investigations have suggested an AoA indicator as a potential mitigation. It's not exactly like reading tea leaves, if you keep the value below 15 or so degrees the wing is flying. Much above that it won't be.

They are also used to good effect by backcountry private pilots who need to extract maximum performance from their aircraft.
In reality, the government took the easy route and just revoked his passport while he was one his way from Hong Kong to Moscow, to catch a connecting flight to another flight to Ecuador. They forced him to set up residency in Russia of all places!

I would also add that 'The Dialectic of Enlightenment', is perhaps a more thorough precedent to 'The Society of the Spectacle'... if you're at all interested ... the chapter 'The Culture Industry' is good.
