skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
Makes a ton of sense to me, I really wish the datasets that I work with had this or some kind of equivalent.

Would be really great if you could generate a fake dataset of similar size for testing purposes. It would take some thinking but it would be really useful for building a consumer before getting the full dataset.
It has to be post-implementation, but not necessarily a gate-level sim
Depends on the city/country.

Everyone seems to love comfort of SUV's, especially in new world where cities were designed for cars. European cities just can't fit large cars, but move to the country side and you can certainly enjoy utility of larger car (although I'd argue actual 4x4 almost certainly overkill for 95% of roads).

I'd certainly love more heavy machinery to move to electric. Buses and trucks are just so loud, benefit most from the torque and are heavily utilised meaning much faster payback than sedan that sits 99% idle.
Ms ruins everything because now it can't copy other people's work
As for 1, I imagine it's because Apple doesn't want the destructive actions front-and-centre. Not only that, but macOS has always encouraged/preferred the drag-and-drop pattern for file management — it might be something with which you or others agree but that's the paradigm they're backing, for better or worse.

Copying-and-moving might be a basic operation if it's something to which you're accustomed, but it's such second nature for me, and I'm sure others, to just open a new Finder window or drag to a Stack.

I agree with 2. The way they do it now is far too heavy handed; give us a prompt to choose to run the app for the first time, possibly with an administrator password prompt. I haven't really had a problem with Apple introducing restrictions with Gatekeeper but that one is simply annoying.
There might be managers reading this thread who want to help, but can't offer a higher salary/different position for visa reasons.

Compensation does not have to be financial. As a foreigner, simply getting to live in the country I chose is already a form of reward.

Other things that would make a huge difference to the lives of immigrants like me are payments for things like children's education, healthcare, or permanent contracts. If money is too short, consider allowing them to have more time off to spend with family, or on side projects. Many people move country for more important things in life than money, and therefore some immigrants don't even perceive getting a "raise" or having "career progression" as a goal: instead, it's all about providing a better, stable, future for a family.
My gosh man that's a brilliant quote.

Why is this surprising? Everyone who accepts credit cards has to deal with processing fees, fraud prevention, chargebacks, etc. And at a larger scale they need to deal with lawyers and contracts.
A number like 30 is far too arbitrary. How can we come up with a less arbitrary approach?

Don't forget some people might take years of thinking about a story before ever releasing it publicly. So the cost of creation can vary quite a bit, picking a fixed number ends up being somewhat unfair to many of the creators.

Thank you for a very informative answer. Glad it felt good, hope it continues. I don't think pig-pen got to quant, but 55 years later, who can say?

I am a believer (bad word, but no other choices) in AA and I hate the anti-AA rhetoric. I still struggle when people who could have benefited from AA either by gender or race say they don't like it, but I won't pretend they don't say it, or there aren't problems. AFAIK its always the best candidate, its just AA re-defines what 'best' is in ways some other people don't like. The whole PC/SJW language is just shit: its labels to deny the underlying problem.

I am the other side of this problem, never faced the bias, never had to overcome it. I might even be part of the problem. Can't hire wisely if you don't know your own biases. That said, hiring women and minorities into my ICT space is just hard, and thats from a not-for-profit with 80 staff and more cultures than I can count. We still put women into finance and HR more than into tech and we still have next to no leadership outside the anglo core. The board is mixed. So there's that, I think it helps. (not in the USA btw)

Money is colourblind.. kinda. I do not believe this is completely true. I don't know any Koch brothers, or Walmart owners, or Peter Theil, and so I work in third hand knowledge. I do not believe they are colour or politics blind: their view of money is complicated. But I do believe you when you say that proven skills cut more with hiring in the money space, than in other spaces. Indian capital by definition is non-white and there are some standout Indian capital movers-and-shakers who own steel, coal, but who also live in a culture which badges people from birth "other" and that totally freaks me out. (there is one, Sanjeev Gupta, who I will put to one side. He might be capitalist, but he's no racist: he's accormittel and tata steel. he's big)

If you wind up in quant with money, ethical investment will be out there, in the future state, as something to talk about as a sub-set of investment to model. I get, that plays in tobacco and drugs and oil will include speculative gains as they crash and burn, or take off and persist. You would get to make choices in that too: Do you want to make $m on the strength of coal-tar sand mining, as KSA and others dump oil stocks to move to Solar? Or do you want to invest in battery tech to ride the up wave in Solar, but be tied into KSA legals? Do you even have to care? No, you don't. And I won't try to pretend you cannot, and won't say you should, even if I do say I would like you (and others) to care.

I read about black radio/tv entrepreneurs some time ago. People who could have been in the weather underground or panthers, but chose to invest in the system instead. I have also read that Clarence Thomas is not an AA backer, believes its better to prove you got there without the help. I don't respect Thomas for obvious reasons. He's pretty anti-social, never mind anti-socialist)
Does anyone use IPNS for anything real? It performs terribly whenever I've tried it. It almost turned me off entirely from using IPFS until I realized that it's just an optional extra and the rest of IPFS is still useful without it. I really wonder how many people try out IPFS, run into issues with IPNS, and then write off the whole project because they thought IPNS was a central piece to it. I think the project would do really well to strike all references to IPNS from their getting-started guides, bring up reliable alternatives like DNSlink records (or even ENS), and then maybe bring up IPNS as an optional extra.
This looks awesome, especially with the e2e encryption feature. Unfortunately it’s a long way from competing with Notion, my current everything app. I don’t think I will be able to use a a note app that doesn’t also include database and spreadsheet features again. I would love to see a client based e2e encrypted open source Notion/Airtable. I suspect that may be a while, tho this is a good start.
Oh, absolutely. I can't even get a straight answer out of my insurance as to when the deductible period starts. Or how many visits to a certain specialist I'm allowed. That is the most basic of information. If you call 3 different times with a simple question, you get 3 different answers, all contradictory.

This has to stop and the only way it'll stop is with proper government regulations that are enforced. The patient should never see a bill for anything other then a set monthly premium (which ideally should come out of taxes, but it doesn't have to completely). Anything else, at this point, is fucking barbaric, primitive, and shameful. To be the richest country in the world and have the worst healthcare system in the developed world is disgusting.
Even if they weren't, the whole Just In Time(tm) inventory system will hammer you.

Nobody is going to staff up to make more masks because everyone knows that you will make lots of money for a couple months and then the demand will crash afterwards when Coronavirus has passed.
I get what you’re saying I have the same problem with SA, but the key is better personalisation, which login can help with.

Gov.uk provides hundreds of services, like SA, which each user will only use a small subset of. That subset will be different for each user. I now need SA whereas 5 years ago prominently signposting that would have been useless to me. For others education services, welfare services and health should be highlighted. All this is quite difficult without knowing who is accessing the site.

Though In the specific case of SA, I think its not as well conceived a service as it can be. 95% of the time i’m not ‘registering for self assessment’ or ‘filing a self assessment tax return’ , i’m ‘checking what tax i owe’
My favourite piece of irony is that one of the first political allies of decentralisation has historically been the Roman Chaotic Church, one of the most hierarchical organisations on earth. During the first industrial revolution it outlined the concept of Distributism[1] in the encyclical (mailinglist) Rerum novarum as a response to the growing social upheaval resulting from the increasing automation of labor and the centralisation of wealth in the hands of the few because of the economics of scale, and the thread this posed to the church. This publication has had a profound impact on society and was a direct influence on the general principle of European Law called Subsidiarity[2] that states that problems are best solved at a local level and only need super-state interference if the local level proofs insufficient. It makes me very skeptical about the direction the EU (and it member states) has taken with its increasing attention to data sovereignty and the host of projects and initiatives it funds in this space: blockchains, edge-computing, digital-twins, privacy-preserving-artificial-intelligence and what-not. The really successful decentralised projects where grass-root affairs, things like torrent, wikipedia and bitcoin, and stand in sharp contrast to the astro-turfing of recent ears where big and powerful institutions have usurped the idea if decentralisation to serve an agenda and to get elected. The Tor network is a counter example because it was funded my the US military, but I'd argue that investigative journalist are better served with a VPN hosted in a jurisdiction with bad diplomatic ties to their respective country of residence (some political awareness is always going to be faster and more convenient than crypto).

I came here to basically say the same thing ... if Knuth weren't demonstrating Literate Programming (LP), he would have used a library version of the Trie function that took up most of those eight pages. At that point, who cares whether those six pages were done in (LP) or not ... it might be easier to maintain in the long-term but either way it's code you don't have to write. If he was finding the Levenshtein distance as with this post, maybe his LP system could use the Perl library too?
Ouch. Seems like an unsolvable limitation at this point. Nice catch.

IntelliJ Editors just straight up not working on Wayland right now has driven me insane. I really like Sway (i3) and Wayland is a must for mixed DPI setups. Now I have started using Kakoune and LSP for Go and Python and it works great. I tried Neovim for a while but having another window manager inside of Sway is too much of a burden. Kakoune opens new windows in Sway (or tmux). Combined with a plugin to make Firefox open tabs in a new window always I found my dream setup.

Postgraphile is more open-ended and advanced, which could be better for some cases. I really like it and enjoy writing the PostgreSQL directly. Prisma compresses the domain a little more than Postgraphile, which means its a little simpler.

The Prisma datamodel very closely mirrors the GraphQL schema. It has just a bare minimum variance to allow different data types (and maybe something else I'm forgetting). I think the generated GraphQL for the database client ends up being simpler and easier to debug; but that's just my feeling about it.

The Prisma database admin tool at `host:port/_admin` is nice; and compliments the GraphQL Playground really well. Prisma develops GraphQL Playground as an open-source project, inspired by GraphiQL which comes out-of-the-box with graphql-server.
Isn’t cost of creation just one of many normal inputs to the marketing and pricing of every product? What’s special about copyright? It’s also true for, say, an idea about starting a company, but we don’t have laws to somehow adjust the potential return on investment of a company based on how long the founder was thinking about it.

Admittedly I'm very pedestrian when it comes to neurology. But my understanding is that much like the bands of the EM spectrum (radio, ir, visible etc), the bands of brain waves (alpha, beta, gamma etc) are just human imposed categorizations. There's no real dividing line. Eg you won't find a lack of brain wave frequencies right on the borderline between alpha and beta.

I think it is fairly obvious that brain waves on the 10Hz scale must be useful for processing / reacting to / controlling phenomena that happen on 1/10th of a second time scales. The shorter the time scale, the higher the relevant frequency. In my rank speculation, bees have "alpha" waves because something they do happens to be on that time scale.

I doubt there is some cognitive mechanism to consciousness that humans, bees, and no other species has in common.
I’d much be here today than a king say 500 years ago.

Not only do I have vastly longer life expectancy, the quality of life during which I’m alive is likely much better, both physically and spiritually, except the getting 100 servants part.
Aren’t these frequencies merely defined by the rate of chemical reactions that occur between neurons (eg. how fast action potentials get generated and travel)?

If that’s true, it seems that this study points in the direction that bees and primates have similar neurotransmission for the brain regions studied.
Social anxiety manifests differently for different people. Some prefer to stay as "invisible" as possible, some don't like other people focusing on their face.
Federally, Article III judges can be impeached and removed by Congress. Administrative and Military (Article II) judges can be fired outright or demoted. State-level, depends on the State, but in California we have something called retention elections, which rarely result in a change in office, but changes in office have come about after particularly unpopular rulings.

An appeal doesn’t directly lead to jobs loss, but it doesn’t look good on your record when your judgements are regularly overturned, particularly if you aspire to a better position. Keeping your job isn’t always the only, or most important incentive if you have any kind of ambition or want to leave any kind of lasting legacy.
I don't think that hair can be effectively split. By your logic there's all sorts of obviously anti-black stuff he can do on the nominal grounds of message. Refuse to make a cake bearing a name he sees as black. Refuse to make a cake celebrating the birthday of a black person.

Similarly, a print shop could by that theory refuse to reproduce the resume of a black person on the grounds that they think black employment is against their religion. There's extensive (white) theological history supporting that position.

Of course, exactly none of this is the same thing as YouTube deciding not to run ads on some corporation's videos.

I'm not arguing that data centers aren't power hungry but I will say that I'm a bit concerned that proof-of-work crypto-currencies are consuming way more power than the coins will ultimately be worth. I know that bitcoin has made millionaires but I still can't spend it at my grocery store.
This is great news!

clock_monotonic greatly increases the failure surface of intra- (and inter-) machine timings than clock_monotonic_raw. A misconfigured ntp can cause bad slew in clock_monotonic. For clock_monotonic_raw, the main source of failures should be the oscillator controlling your CPU. If that happens, you have bigger problems.
"... you don't seem to believe that developed-world standards of living are globally possible ..."

I do believe that first-world, middle-class living standards, circa 2020, are globally possible ... just not in 2020.

By the time that those standards are globally possible without unpaid debits in the form of environmental externalities, there will be a new "first world" standard that we will then decide whether or not to borrow from the future to pay for ...
The exact number can be tuned but there is nothing wrong with being somewhat arbitrary. The age we let people drink is arbitrary. Why 18, why not 19 or 17. Its just a number picked to be good enough.

It applies as soon as you release it publicly. Copyright doesn't instantly apply as soon as an idea pops in to your head. It only applies as soon as you can prove you created it at a date.

> Chrome-style address bar that hides when you scroll down

Is this a Chrome thing? I thought it was just a user-hating web design thing.

A lot of news sites seem to have a topbar that becomes invisible when you scroll down and reappears when you scroll up. I can't stand this. I want to scroll a particular line of text to the top of the text pane. I don't care where the top of the text pane is. I don't care whether the topbar is visible or invisible. But adjusting the topbar's visibility in response to scrolling makes it actually impossible to scroll the text to where I want it to be.
Except most of the media is too busy with sound bites and simple review, not deep analyses.
I'm a novice C programmer at best, so (warranted or not) that bit of flavor was enough to give me pause. I thought if I was going to make an investment in learning something new, that it might as well be something that I'd already been wanting to learn and would be useful elsewhere.

I totally agree with you that just because you _can_ write complex games in Assembly, that doesn't mean you should. I wasn't knocking using C to write NES games at all and won't claim to even begin to know how to address that scenario you laid out.

Anyways, your answer was interesting, informative and full of what sounds like hard won wisdom. Thanks for taking the time to put it together. If you're up to sharing the details, I'd be interested in checking out your games.
I see it happen at least once a week in Santa Monica. When a homeless person digs through a trash bin and leaves all the waste on the sidewalk, it's the equivalent of hundreds of people littering.
Mormons and Catholics still show a pattern of decreasing fertility in recent years; they just had higher fertility before so they are merely around the level that mainline Protestants were once at.

I agree that in the long run, the fertility trend will reverse itself. But in the medium term, it’s not an excuse for not fixing global poverty.
Thanks for the tip. I actually thought about such separation, but it was too late to make such changes. I already laid down the architecture till that time. But you made a good point.

> and telling them that they could by hitting Cmd+up arrow ... was deemed the most hidden thing thus far.

That's one of the oldest and most uniform/predictable ones, though—Cmd+up means "navigate out"; Cmd+down means "navigate in" (which translates to "open" for documents and "launch" for apps.) It perfectly lines up with movement within the (implicit) tree that backs the spatial-navigation metaphor.

When Safari was introduced, we also gained Cmd+[ to universally mean "navigate Back" and Cmd+] to mean "navigate Forward." These tend to be recapitulated lately by left/right swipe gestures, but not all the time. You can't swipe in Preferences.app, but you can Cmd+[. (And you can Cmd+up, too!)
Thanks - I’d seen that section before, but hadn’t noticed that elsewhere the document says “code should target C++17“.

Do you know if there are any parts of the C++17 language or standard library that are disallowed in Google’s code because those parts don’t work without exceptions?
True. Although those are not great solutions. Stun may simply fail with weird routers, or because there's lots of new connections and ports are not guessed correctly. Turn requires tunneling your traffic through a third party. Both still need you to actively reach outside and advertise your availability via some openly reachable node.
