It doesn't have to be so extreme, or even hate.

What I've found is that the overwhelming discourse in this society has been moving away from facts to emotion. If there were any news coming from anywhere, regarding a person or a group of people, the first criteria of examination, especially on places like reddit is usually: Does it fit my narrative and emotional need? Not fact, those are usually thrown out of the window.

This trend is accelerating and it has successfully taken over most social media. HN has been one of the few places left that unpopular opinion based on fact still gets upvoted. When facts and emotions collide, it fosters hate as hater cannot dismiss the argument factually, and resort to attacks on personal level.

>"I feel like perpetuating this mindset is the ultimate sin of modern psychiatry and the entire industry of psychiatric pharmaceuticals"

Hmm. Modern psychiatry is usually accused of the opposite.
Also interesting that leading comment on an article about how many (non-CNS) meds have CNS effects becomes yet another opportunity to criticize antidepressants. HN community's hostility to treating brain diseases (while emphatically supporting people with brain diseases) is perplexing.

"Could a hater be cured if they achieved something impressive? My guess is that it's a moot point, because they never will."

This is entirely wrong. History is full of people with spectacular achievements whom pg would classify as "haters".

The whole essay is really poor (and yes, I've also achieved more than flipping a web-shop to friends at Yahoo during the bubble.).
Basically yes, but it should be said that John Carreyrou didn't act like a hater. Perhaps a better test is, that a thoughtful person thinks y is a fraud, whereas more or less by definition a hater does not come across as a thoughtful person.
>but most people see things that don't physically exist from time to time; they're called dreams or hallucinations, depending on context.

Yes, and that's what ghosts are, figments of the imagination and thus not real.
No.

P2P: leaf nodes can communicate directly to each other. The network can be flat or structured. There can be more important nodes or not.
The action of taking the former is probably in alignment with some goals (even if potentially short-sighted), while contracting the latter alters your behavior so that it can spread more widely in accordance with the goals of its own DNA.

But yeah, I didn’t think my analogy through further than surface symptoms.
I want to say I remember your blog and that I enjoyed it. Thanks for that.
Strange to see Block Party in this list!
Also post rock had its time in the late 90s / early 00s. Doubt we can put it in the category “what kids listen to these days”. This category today is more along the lines of Post Malone and Lil Yachty.
That ~5cm is for 1 standard deviation increase in VO2peak. The charts show it increasing linearly with VO2peak. Too bad VO2max decreases with age (due to a linear fall off in max heart rate with age). I highly recommend Bay Area cycling.
Well, consider sports fans for a moment. There’s nothing rational in particular about worshipping a uniform, and yet you will find sports fans all over the place. And sports fans are almost all haters of the other team.

And yet... there are plenty of wildly successful people that are fans of sports, and haters of the rivals. Obama is famously a basketball fan, for instance.

I get that it’s a lot milder than hating on a person, my point is that this is a thing that is in almost all of us. The smart people just know when to compartmentalise those feelings.
> You don’t need to pass around ‘Maybe a’ everywhere.

You don't need to pass pointers around everywhere. Languages with null still have value types that cannot be null.

> You don’t need a separate “linter or whatever”.

Optional compiler flags count as "whatever" to me.

> it’s not undefined behavior like in C that could result in something weird and unpredictable happening later (or earlier!)

C++ doesn't define this, but the OS does (and even has help from the CPU).

Anyway, my TL;DR is that it's easy to have a slow program that passes everything by value, or east to have a fast program that uses pointers or references. Removing the special case of null is meaningless, because you can still have a pointer to 0x1 which is just as bad as 0x0, probably. This goes back to my original answer to the question "why don't more languages get rid of null" which was "it's harder than it looks." I think I'm right about that. If it were easy, everyone would be doing it.
Have you considered just bundling a JVM at distribution time? This is how apps like IntelliJ work.
In practice it seems to work fine with the banks I've tried. There may be one or two that don't accept numbers whose type is listed as "voip", but they are in the minority.

There is also work being done to update the type field of JMP numbers so they appear as "mobile" instead.
I work in health, and I sometimes have to interact with the federal database of doctors. It's amazing the things you see in there.

There are doctors who don't know their own addresses. Can't spell the name of their town. Don't know their ZIP Code. Don't know the difference between a mailing address and a physical address. Don't keep their information current. Or sometimes don't even know what town they're in, putting a neighborhood or region on federal paperwork because "everybody knows where that is."

We assume that because doctors are smart at medicine, they should also be smart at computers. They're not. Just like my commercial airline pilot neighbor is great at flying transcontinental jumbo jets, but every few days has to shout across the street at me to ask if today's the day to put out the trash bins.
Ask HN: What is the best way for Technical
> Somebody else will take seriously.

I think there's an reasonable expectation to respect, but there are people out there that will take offense to almost anything.

We shouldn't be sacrificing our own rights to accommodate those people.
This is so well said, and I think it actually points to a larger problem that was happening with authority forever and has now been exposed:

Most authoritative sources are lying a huge percentage of the time, even if the lying takes the form of misrepresenting a situation, cherry picking data, begging the question, etc.

Everyone says news has gotten worse, and I’m sure there’s some basis for that claim, but also you couldn’t as easily check how wrong a news source was until recently.
Regardless of whether it's on the stack or heap the point still stands. If all your objects are randomly allocated then an array is just references to those objects and will start out null. If you're using value types then your array of objects will never be null (empty instead) and you will benefit from CPU caching the data.
> Wealthier people would have easier access to this tech. That would really mess things up I think.

How is that different from today's situation where wealthier people have access to better health care, while millions die from easily treatable or preventable diseases, especially in places such as Africa.

Or more simply, wealth is strongly correlated with life expectancy already, and there is a more complex casual link as well. (the daily stressors encountered by lower socioeconomic status people are the hidden cause behind a lot of illnesses).

...haters are not always complete losers... some have some amount of talent. In fact I suspect that a sense of frustrated talent is what drives some people to become haters.

I vibe to this. Anyone who has leveraged talent into success in any area knows how much work it is to be successful at anything. It inspires a level of empathy for people who have trod a similar path.

The fanboy is so slavishly predictable in his admiration that he's diminished as a result. He's less than a man. And I think this is true of haters too.

I'm kind of disappointed by the choice of words here. I get the point of the phrase "less than a man", but it implies some toxic ideas about masculinity that are kind of ugly.

The Forth success stories tend to be really, really ancient, and therefore almost irrelevant. Much like Chuck's arguments for the merits of stack languages / machines. Processor pipelines have to be at least deep enough to do a wide multiplication or you're basically looking at a toy.

I actually have designed my own FPGA soft core barrel processor, it's a special blend of register and stack machine. The blend occurs by placing stacks under the registers themselves. I believe this allows a low register count, 2 operand architecture to be more efficient than it otherwise would be, which minimizes opcode size, and sidesteps most the crazy you get when trying to shoehorn most processes into a single stack environment.

But has clear downsides as well, the main one being the stacks can become easily corrupted by any process using them - this is true of any stack machine but you strangely never hear it come up in conversations with Forth types. Stack processors can eliminate much traditional processor state, but the stacks themselves contain state, which is often overlooked.
Ask HN: What is the best way for Technical Support to submit bug tickets to dev?
I recently took over the management of our technical support team. We're primarily a web-based team. We have a number of web products, ranging from a CRM tool to some APIs via AWS.

I'm wondering, for any of the IT Managers, Developers, Product Owners or Engineers out there, is there a set of best practices for submitting bug/ER tickets to engineering?

Our goal will be to decrease as much friction in the ticketing process as possible.

We'd like to know what to include on bug tickets. What can we provide so engg. can hit the ground running?
Yeah. And that money goes to him. And with a weak economy people will stop paying him but now the streaming services will pay him more.

Bottle avoided feature creep very well and it even provides one of the fastest templating engines around.
Of course one side is denying reality. I'll leave it up to you to decide which :)
I recon it is similar to the desire for header-only C libs, package management isn’t great, so single files are easier to deal with. I wonder if anyone has made a Python package manager based on the idea of bundling up all the files in a Python project into a single .py file that can just be downloaded and copied around as-is? No requirements.txt, just vendored .py files in a libs dir.

He raised $1B of others' money; he hasn't spent anything close to that yet, even in aggregate. The article is extremely light on details of why this guy thinks he can turn a bigger profit off these song catalogs than the traditional publishers can, but I guess he's cutting a lot of fat compared to the big publishing houses? This seems positive to me because it's shifting more money towards the artists:

"In the music industry, paying for assets at a 10x multiple is considered top dollar. Mercuriadis is reportedly paying up to 20x, making it impossible for others to compete."
One of my old co-workers said that one of the most impressive things he's seen in his career was a traveling IBM tech demo in the back of a semi truck where they would physically remove memory, CPUs, and disks from the machine without impacting the live computation being executed apart from making it slower, and then adding those resources back to the machine and watching them get recognized and utilized again.
This new moment of marketization is interesting to observe from the sidelines.

I'm a musician but I've never gotten paid for making music and don't want to be. This way, songwriting and playing music can remain something I do purely for the intrinsic joy of it. And it's not really so long ago that, if you wanted music in your house, you had to play it yourself.

I have nothing against recorded music or professional musicians, but it's interesting how much we seem to collectively forget that buying music isn't the only way to have access to it. Not everything we need has to be obtained as a commodity (still less through a monthly subscription).
The ruling in 1616 was about the notion that heliocentrism was proved fact, using it as a hypothesis and pointing out it gave better results was fine. See for example the letter from the very cardinal that delivered the verdict to Galileo:

https://thonyc.wordpress.com/2018/02/26/galileo-roberto/

Also, keep in mind that in 1616, how the motion of the Earth would escape the notice from everyone standing on it was a serious scientific challenge, and that predictions of heliocentrism such as stellar parallaxes were not being observed.

While everything may be influenced by macro trends, there will still be movies, Super Bowl Ads, radio and Spotify playlists which rely on music licensing. It may dip in bad times, but the bet is that they will do better than other investment types.

Agreed - I sold a tech company in the UK for $6M a 2.5 years ago. The idea of a buyer paying a deposit is pipe-dream, as a seller you have to take a risk, you have to pay significant legal fees and a retainer to the broker and of course the due diligence is painful and time consuming. One thing that you can do is get to know the buyer well, before you commit, I studied their financials in depth, this gave me the confidence to go-ahead, knowing that they had the cash available. Unexpectedly to me, it was the buyer’s lawyer’s who nearly scuppered the deal on several occasions when I completely lost my temper with them - they were awful to deal with, extremely anal over minor details, impractical also untrustworthy, they kept resurrecting issues we thought had been resolved.

Almost certainly the selection bias plays a major role - surgeries done early in a week are different than those scheduled later in the week.
It’s often a hard call, and we should certainly not uncritically accept a claim that everyone who disagrees with me is a hater. But I don’t think that’s what he’s doing here. More importantly, it’s a call we have to be willing to make, because some people really are just bullies setting out to drag others down.
This was my immediate thought at the headline, doctors-who-what-now?

This feels informed from the technology side, and profoundly ignorant of how health care IT actually works (especially in the United States).
The sad part about all of this is the complexity of the new solutions. Webauthn is strong but fiendishly complex. How did we get here?

Websites used weak hashes (md5 and sha1... efficient to compute and attack) to store passwords and allowed users to set short, weak passwords (12345, letmein).

Long passwords randomly generated by password managers and stored as strong hashes (Argon2id) by websites are secure, not guessable and even difficult/expensive to attack offline when the database is dumped.

This approach is simple and easily understood by everyone involved (users and site admins) and would be suitable for the security of 99% of websites. Leaving 'Account Recovery' as the only remaining challenge.
> According to Jobs's biographer, Walter Isaacson, "for nine months he refused to undergo surgery for his pancreatic cancer – a decision he later regretted as his health declined". "Instead, he tried a vegan diet, acupuncture, herbal remedies, and other treatments he found online, and even consulted a psychic. He was also influenced by a doctor who ran a clinic that advised juice fasts, bowel cleansings and other unproven approaches, before finally having surgery in July 2004." He eventually underwent a pancreaticoduodenectomy (or "Whipple procedure") in July 2004, that appeared to remove the tumor successfully.[175][176]

> Jobs did not receive chemotherapy or radiation therapy.

> Jobs died at his Palo Alto, California, home around 3 p.m. (PDT) on October 5, 2011, due to complications from a relapse of his previously treated islet-cell pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor, which resulted in respiratory arrest.

Good observations. CAD users typically have one hand on the keyboard and one on the mouse or 3D mouse. If you took out the mouse-screen translation and directly manipulated the object/scene with your mouse hand, I think you'd have the best of old and new. This calls for mixed reality, or visibility of your keyboard in VR.
>Being actively disdainful of others to the extent that you're giving off huge "creeper" vibes (perhaps unwittingly, perhaps intentionally!) can be evidence of sorts - at least in a very loose, "more likely than not" sense.

This statement shows a surprising lack of empathy or objectivity or even self-awareness.

Consider that Person A and Person B meet and that Person A gets the creepy vibe from Person B - for no clearly defined reason, it just happens.

Person B increasingly tries to socially interact with Person A and this puts Person A in a tough position because they don't like the creepy vibe that they get from Person B.

Person A continually tries to use social cues to try to deter the interactions from being frequent or even increasing. Person B just doesn't "get the clue", as it were.

It might be unfair or untactful for Person A to use contempt or disdain to get the interactions with Person B to decrease; however, we can probably safely arrive the conclusion that this might be a far more tactful route to use than just calling Person B a creepy cunt to their face, yeah?

The problem with your explicit inference is that Person B never has reason to take pause and consider that it was their creepy vibe that initially caused the situation to occur, much less their continued attempts at increasing interactions that caused it to exacerbate.

If Person B has the "it's never me, it's always them" mentality, then we can presumably arrive that the conclusion that this is ultimately what occurred; however, to arrive at the conclusion that Person A used contempt or disdain against Person B solely because Person A is the creeper entirely detracts and ignores (in a very subjective way) Person A's experience[s] with/around Person B.

Succinctly put: You're ascribing to malice (e.g.: creepiness) where another reason can just easily and just as validly be subjected, without even considering that possibility.
