Smart Blood Sugar Book
Is it accurate to say that you are worn out before you even get up in the first part of the day? It is safe to say that you are asking why it appears to be difficult to get more fit? Do you have a sleeping disorder? Is it true that you are managing "man-boobs"? Or then again "overhang"? In the event that you are, at that point you resemble the vast majority of our patients. While this program can't make a huge difference promptly, we can ensure that on the off chance that you take this Smart Blood Sugar Challenge, you'll be shocked at how much better you can feel in seven days. These are run of the mill results — and keeping in mind that everybody is unique, in case you're willing to attempt the Challenge, you'll have the option to begin changing medical issues that you've presumably abandoned. We incorporate a free 15–minute interview to check whether this is directly for you — consider us and make an arrangement or call basically to buy the Challenge from our inviting staff.
I noticed your two links mention different unions striking; some further research might be important here. One of your links is not graduate students striking, but the union for skilled workers at UCSC. The other is a union-sanctioned strike during (I think) a contract negotiation year. Neither is representative of the assertion that graduate students strike every year.

Clojure is not hard. It's just different. People immediately reject anything that's different. Just like when Fibonacci tried to convince people in 13th century to use indo-arabian numerals.

I've seen people with no prior programming experience learning Clojure within a few days. And I've seen senior software developers struggling with it for months.

exactly right exposition on both data-races and deadlocks in general for message-passing systems.

> Or such thing as miss of a message. For example, actor A starts in state S1(A) and waits for message M1 to switch to state S2(A) where it will wait for M2. But actor B sends messages to A in reverse order: M2, then M1. If message M2 is not deferred by A, then M2 will be ignored by A in S1(A), then A switches to S2(A) and will wait for M2, but that message won't go to it.

once message delivery is guaranteed to be in-order and lossless, then for the above scenario the issue is 'obviously' on the sender side. it can be easily solved with timers where 'A' expects to move from state-a to state-b in say 'n' seconds after startup etc.

As a gamer I have bigger issues with Google. I would rather prefer Japanese or Chinese companies to be better custodians of gaming industry than Google. Microsoft too in my opinion has done a better job.

It is only matter of time before some google snowflake would call a game transphobic or "too violent" etc. and write lengthy posts that the game be pushed off Stadia. Right now this is not a problem but if google becomes 1st or 2nd largest player this would be increasingly a problem.

I am a big lover of violent video games and Google is not good for such games IMO.
The manufacturing process makes them worse. On a mass scale, every cent counts and the first thing to take a hit is the quality of the flour and the density of the dough. Then it's machine mixed, frozen, and baked in the very same condition at all time in electric ovens and that makes for a pretty forgettable taste and texture.

The end result is nowhere near what a competent baker can do, working manually and especially when using for instance a wood fire oven

How is it declining? Every single year we're adding 3-5 new conferences, last year alone - Ukraine, Russia, Brazil, India, Canada. New books being published. There are number of active podcasts (more than for any other FP lang). Latest JVM survey shown - Clojure has become more popular than Scala (largely due to Kotlin), but still surprisingly so. There's a Clojure related post on HN top, almost every week, sometimes multiple times a week.

Sure, it ain't Typescript or whatever, but it's definitely not declining.
I’m glad to see that Google is finally paying for their actions by having market forces reject them for retreating so quickly. Anything they try can’t be just a toe-dip now. They need to actually invest heavily otherwise no one will trust them. Good. They have fucked over way too many developers by dangling a promise and then cutting support quickly.
Here's some fun stuff about NeWS and screen snapshots of the HyperTies hypermedia browser and Emacs authoring tool that I scanned (after printing them out as slides for a talk, then losing the original images) -- HyperTIES supported formatted hypertext, raster, and PostScript graphics, with plug-in extensible interactive "applets" programmed in PostScript, including pie menus, pop-up embedded image targets, widgets, form controls, scrolling text editors, etc. These screen snapshots were slides for a talk about building user interfaces in NeWS, using HyperTIES to explain and demonstrate itself and the technology it was implemented with:

If your commute is a twenty minute race on an empty Autobahn, most people wouldn't mind, and some people might even enjoy it.

The more of a slog it become is stop-and-go traffic, the more people will have your (and my) sentiment that driving to work sucks.

You are right, that for individuals 5 minutes more or less is not making much of a difference in their choices---most of the time. People have thresholds where it gets too annoying, so they stop completely if they can at all (like you suggest).

Average over lots of people, those discrete thresholds look much smoother.

Which programming language should you choose?
I think it’s very important to be precise if you’re speaking of potential worldwide calamity.

I think you may be giving OP too much credit with their use of “cases” implying hospital cases (which is the 5% ICU number, it is not 5% of infections require the ICU) I’m happy if we are agreeing and will leave it at that.

> Upwards of 5% of the known cases. But that's assumed, if we don't know someone is infected then they by definition won't require ICU level care.

You are still making too strong of a statement. In the study last week from NEJM of 1099 hospital patients around China that found that 90% plus were diagnosed with pneumonia, and 5% were admitted to the ICU. Case fatality rate was 1.4%. [1]

It is absolutely not 5% of “known” cases. China turned anybody not seriously ill from the hospitals back home. So we actually do know there are a large number of uncounted mild (and even asymptomatic) cases.

It is 5% of serious hospital cases going on to the ICU. This is not my claim, this is straight from the latest issue of the NEJM.

Also, I didn’t say anyone couldn’t speak their mind. But I said if you do try extrapolating a sub-population percentage and multiplying by world population, it would be a serious miscalculation. That’s why I think it’s important (crucial) to clearly identify the sub-population when you state the percentage. Calling a sub-population dealing with hospital admittances the “known” cases is not clearly stating identifying the patient population.

I don’t think HN commentators should play epidemiologist while making predictions of catastrophe.

Check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dematerialization_(economics) for a start.

I remembered reading about a comparison with 1930 as the peak. The Wikipedia article just mentions:

> Between 1977 and 2001, the amount of material required to meet all needs of Americans fell from 1.18 trillion pounds to 1.08 trillion pounds, even though the country's population increased by 55 million people. Al Gore similarly noted in 1999 that since 1949, while the economy tripled, the weight of goods produced did not change.

If you follow the references, or Google some more, you can find more.
A command-line tool is nothing more than a script that maybe parses some input from the program's arguments or from stdin and then does something useful. Naturally you want to have the libraries you're used to available and the best language for CLI tools is the one you already know.

Building CLI tools in C/C++ is silly. If you like Rust/Go, sure, knock yourself out.

But the obvious choices are the scripting languages with runtimes that are already distributed as part of the OS .On Linux most CLI tools are built in Python or Perl and Ruby or Node.js are decent choices too.

JVM languages aren't an ideal choice due to the startup time, but given the size of the ecosystem you can find a library for pretty much anything you need and now we've got GraalVM to help with the startup time. So not a bad choice either.
The article was on to something, that something only becomes viable when its stronger or faster then a human. Because human labor has always been cheap. I'm sure engines and other things existed before, but they where only available for kings, or smart people with free time (money).
What have been the single most important factor for our recent technology explosion is that human labor has become more expensive because of opportunity cost. People will not join the army if they can get better paid doing something else. So it's also solves wars and crisis. But it can only be achieved politically. If you where a king, there wouldn't really be any incentive to make other peoples life better, as you then would have to pay more for services, and the people might overthrow you if they think they can fare well on their own.

> once message delivery is guaranteed to be in-order and lossless, then for the above scenario the issue is 'obviously' on the sender side.

It depends on how the receiver handles incoming messages:

* there could be a scheme where a message is lost if it isn't handled in the current actor's state (or if it isn't deferred explicitly);

* there could be a scheme where a message that is not handled in the current state is deferred automatically (for example, Erlang's selective receive).

The problem I described exists for the first case but isn't actual for the second. However, schemes with selective receive can have their own drawbacks.

> it can be easily solved with timers where 'A' expects to move from state-a to state-b in say 'n' seconds after startup etc.

The main problem is: a developer should understand that problem and should implement that in code. But people make mistakes...
For me the greatest improvement came from stopping using Twitter and Reddit rather than Facebook or Instagram (I quit using all four within the last year, Youtube is the only social media service that I'm still regularly consuming, I'd like to quit that too), of course this is based on my personal situation and the way I personally use all of those media. In my specific case I have the impression that Twitter and Reddit are somehow more addictive and they used to have the largest detrimental impact on my mental health. With Facebook, that impact is moderate and with Instagram I would say almost non existent.

I actually agree. We should hold HN posts to a standard of truthfulness, and perhaps this submission's headline does not meet that standard (irrespective of the contents of the screenshots).

But in supporting this argument, my question is then: What standards apply to whom? Are all opinion and thought pieces, given that they are not verifiable, and they are inherently trying to change the opinion of the reader, therefore conspiracy thinking? If not, what is the definition?

If conspiracy-thinking is the view that organisations are not operating in the best interests of the individual, one person's conspiracy-thinking is therefore another person's whistleblowing.

Compare it to the Gmail or Chrome launch suddenly there was this 'free' product you could jump onto, it was technologically superior and exciting and it came out of nowhere. Imagine if they did that with Stadia, just suddenly release it without fanfare, all your favorite games are on there and you can play X hours a week for free or something like that.

The whole thing felt like a rushed impulse idea out of Hooli (HBO's Silicon Valley) that didnt get researched further before jumping in. They could of made a decent Steam competitor. In fact they would of known that Nvidia has dwelled into this space and could of hired them for consulting on the matter.

It had ideas that sounded next gen and worthwhile such as playing from where a YouTube video leaves off at.

Again without implying anything normative, what makes you claim that the students' representation by the union isn't "fair"? Simply because they want more than stipulated by the contract the union was able to negotiate? Is my (non-union) salary "unfair" because I'd much rather get paid 3x as much (or 30x, for that matter)?

Everyone on Diamond Princess was tested serologically. I have no idea how particularly sick or not each person who tested positive ultimately became. We only know that only 6 (so far) have died. That’s 0.8% of those that tested positive, and 0.016% of those on the ship, in an elderly skewing population, I’m not sure that’s worse than a bad flu outbreak.

> Types solve 2% .......

Vastly understated in my experience. Even trivial python programs contain errors that could be prevented with a trivial type system like Go's

And performance. Not being fast enough is a bug. Consuming much more energy is a bug, in my book.

Sufficiently expressive type systems are better than dynamic typing. They prevent so many errors, especially in FP-inspired high level data transformation functions. I am saying this as a person who doesn't even like most of FP. (You can infer from my comment history).
This is fake news and is demonstrably false.
While I agree with you, I wouldn't be terribly unhappy if IPOs changed in the future. I'm actually quite worried that, as you say, people are looking at a company that is nearly 3x its IPO a year later and calling a flop. But I'm even more worried that a company with a value of $1 billion (after a $100 million series D) 2 years before IPO can have a market cap of ~$10 billion one year after an IPO -- and it's still seen as a failure by somebody. Because that's a bloody miracle.

I'm not just worried about that, though. If we accept these numbers (which I mostly got from Bloomberg and Wikipedia), we're saying that a $100 million infusion of cash propelled the company to $10 billion market cap in only 3 years. And looking at the balance sheet: $330 million revenue in 2019. Net income $7.58 million. Total assets: $355 million. Total liabilities: $202 million. Annual operating expenses: $51 million.

So I'm seeing a company with a $10 billion market cap, with earnings of $7 million a year, and about 2 years worth of operating expenses in assets after liabilities are taken into consideration. So I'm wondering what fueled that 10x increase in 3 years. Because on paper I don't think I'd be touching it with a 10 foot pole at it's price. It seems like only its promise to be the next Google or Amazon is what's keeping the price high.

So that's what worries me about IPOs. People are expecting massive multipliers and even when they get them, some people are upset. But these massive IPOs also seem to be super fragile (at least in principal -- I have no idea if Zoom will be the next big thing or not). It doesn't seem like they are doing anything near the business necessary to justify their market positions. So I worry that someday the emperor will notice he has no clothes...
