I'm highly suspicious of that 50/50 split.

Every time I see that stated, I only ever see sitters being surprised that standers exist, not the other way around.

They might exist, but either they're are much smaller minority, or it has a strange correlation with how they use the internet.
I absolute agree with this sentiment. Software can only be simple if it covers a narrow set of use cases. ERP software for large companies that works across borders and industries will always have to handle a million edge cases and accumulate "weirdness" along the way.
and many other things in Physics, Maxwell equations are also simply laid out as lets assume these.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by this. These are all experimentally verifiable.
thanks a lot! fixed
PHP is definitely an awful recommendation for a RPi 4 though.

There are lighter weighted options that optimise for minimum latency and minimum CPU overhead.
I have a hypothesis that this condition and ADHD are related. ADHD researcher Dr Russell Barkley links Vygotsky’s theories of childhood development to the mechanism by which ADHD interferes with executive function [0]. An ADHD brain would be less capable of imagining things and holding those images, which would lead to failure in development of self-directed action via those imagined images. Is this ”aphantasia”? I’m not sure, but I find it plausible.

The prevalence for ADHD has been cited at 5% in children and half of that in adults. A commenter here says aphantasia has been guessed to be at 1-3% [1], which would be a rough match. Another commenter describes their ADHD and aphantasia [2], and I am under the impression this has been reported often. If there was a causal relation I would expect to see these kinds of overlaps in the data, but it’s really the researcher’s description of a failure of imagination that makes this hypothesis especially interesting to me.

What do you think? Has anyone looked into this?

This has nothing to do with rust, vectors are perfectly good for anything not related to this particular problem.
Is it actually expensive, or is it just a result of everyone moving to cloud providers that charge an arm and a leg for performance equivalent to a cheap laptop (when you account for "CPU credits" and all that) and try to nickel & dime you on everything, including bandwidth (despite bare-metal providers somehow being able to stay in business by offering unmetered 1Gbps bandwidth)?

> The mistake was representing it as anything other than an 8-bit number because that's what the hardware really would have done.

I would be significantly more pleased if this was the documented, intended behavior that was being emulated intentionally, since the previous choice leaves me a bit worried that this is just an instance of “hey we can just use this type as a convenient index that doesn’t go out of bounds”.
Excellent article, but I think it misses the point that most people are aware that they are getting free sites and tools like gmail, reddit, twitter, facebook for the price of being tracked an advertised to. What's the alternative? Paying for everything?

Just install an ad blocker, turn off JavaScript or if you are really paranoid, pick one of the many linux distributions to load up into VirtualBox and browse the web that way, changing your distro daily. Use various VPN services on top of it. Use Tor. Most people don't care enough to do anything like this.

The few dreams i can remember are all about feelings. Like i am moving in an abstract world. I know what is there, i know what is happening, but i am incapable of describing it in term of senses. It just ...is ? Like i can only relate to it through how it makes me feel and how my model of their relationship with the world is. I cannot describe any physical or visual aspect.

And i am probably on the extreme of aphantasia
How to Build a Revolut-Like Digital Bank?
I’m just here with popcorn and for the comments.

Lucky for me SQL just clicked and when I wrote my first schema third normal form is how it came out more or less so I knew I was on to something.

I would say a study of how the internals of your databases of choice works would help in schema design.
It has some good aspects as the ability to branch allow to focus on some specific details more easily.

This particular solution seems to be lacking some mechanism to merge the discussion back together so that the tree doesn't branch out ad infinitum.

It also doesn't solve the problem of collaborative list building easily.

It's also simplifying the problem as it is not a asynchronous system but rather a standard single point of truth database.

The way I see all these collaborative tools is that they are trying to make up for their users lack of basic algorithmic knowledge. They are constraining the users into a specific point of view. But this is usually not enough because the user will want to do something which isn't done easily in this framework and new absurd phenomenons similar to top posting will emerge.

Database tools and basic algorithmic structures have been known for a long time now. The usual structures needed are lists, queues, sets, graphs, tags, custom structs. Standard database tools can do the collaborative part easily, you just need a good front-end to make them available to your users for when he needs them.

The alternative if you can't teach your user, is to have a nlp AI construct the database automatically. That's what there is in tools like gmail to automatically add to your agenda your flight reservations for example.
I’m not sure what group I’d need to be in to think of this patch as natural without qualification…
Theory of electromagnetic field (of which Maxwell's is a part) was one of my favorite topics in the university. The other being digital signal processing. I don't have very good memory, so I have to rely on things having a lot of consistency and internal structure so they could be efficiently "compressed" and "recovered". Both of these fields have that - the math is consistent, beautiful, and somewhat more intuitive than in other fields. Theory of electromagnetic field does assume that your integral and differential calculus is pretty good though.
I don't think we will ever know the full tide of BS that was the WeWork/vision fund relationship. It suits both sides to not be forthcoming.

That said, I know people who use multiple WeWork locations in the same city depending on where they are for client meetings. Plus many other similar office space companies were not as flexible as WeWork (rent an office, it has to have walls, no you can't just get one desk in an open area). And some people really like the "atmosphere".

So who knows?

Personally, I think the reason we have a market is to get these decisions right. I'm aware my own views on the subject represent about 0.000000001% of humanity. So I may dislike WeWork but that doesn't mean they won't double in size and show a huge profit. Or I may love them but that doesn't mean its not a giant ponzi scheme.

Its important I do not to get attached to my own opinions as they're so often wrong :D

Again, just more random musings from me.

You can likely look at languages that allow you to burn an entire mini-OS image with their runtime pre-installed on the SD card of the RPi (like Elixir's Nerves framework) or simply use a solid cross-compiled backend language with a fast web frameworks -- Golang and Rust come to mind here.

But I agree with some of the posters here. If what you have works well you're much better off just iterating on it and not changing the tech stack.
Basically, some simulations show [1] if lots of people from an otherwise-socially-distancing population all go to one central location, that increases the R0 (i.e. spread) of the virus.

This is a problem for anything that draws together lots of people from a large area into the same place - trade shows, sports events, music festivals, cinemas, conventions, busses and trains, food stores, beaches, universities and schools.

We almost certainly haven't hit on the most optimal solution - in my country we closed schools, yet keeping crowded metro trains running? - but it wouldn't have been wise to wait for more data to come in before taking any action.

Safety vs Freedom: How Governments Introduce Surveillance Under Covid-19 Control
> 4) Never store firstname and lastname in the same field

I have the opposite opinion: unless you have a specific reason why you need to know one's "first name" and "last name" (e.g. to interface with some other system that requires names to be split up like that), just use a single field and stop caring about whether or not the name conforms to your preconceived notions of format and structure.
I don't see Spanish politicians making more or less mistakes that other governments in Europe.
Spain was one of the first countries to adopt strict measures to limit mobility of its citizens. And according to Google Mobility Analysis [1] Spaniards have mostly complied with it, staying at home at much higher rates than other neighbouring countries.

So no, I don't see a reason to say that its politicians are a joke and that Spanish society is selfish and lazy.

It goes both ways.
In this case, I think it's meaningful. If you take https://github.com/scotthaleen/clojure-spring-cloud as a reasonable example of what that would look like, it's (subjectively) ugly as sin. Because you're operating outside idiomatic clojure, there's a lot of incidental complexity and "why would you do it that way?" moments that you wouldn't get with any of the clojure-native, idiomatic web libraries. Yes, you could wrap a lot of it behind more idiomatic facades, but that's still added work you just don't want to have to do.

In most (IMO sane) designs, a company name would usually be a separate field (or better yet: companies would be represented in an entirely different table).

Unfortunately, I don’t always have the luxury of getting someone to relay an accurate and detailed summary of the thread so far when I get added mid-way. Reading quoted, often heavily mangled content isn’t pleasant but it’s a very good way to establish this context, and in lieu of the actual messages I consider it the next best option. And since you can’t predict who or where a message might be forwarded, I think it’s good to do this consistently so that it’s available as a fallback by default.

Not just financial institutions. Allowing any user to install anything on their computers is dangerous from an IT Security perspective and tends to lead to chaos.
A database should store the actual data, not some serialized format. You don't store the comma tokens from a CSV file in the databases either - you store data which can be serialized to CSV. The same information could be serialized as CSV, XML or JSON depending on the context.

Storing a serialized format as an opaque string or blob might make sense in particular cases.
I wish more discussion of aphantasia would discuss what the people who have it do instead, as they do not appear to be cognitively impaired and perhaps even the opposite they do posses the ability to reason counterfactually, so could it all be about the level of abstraction - symbolic/verbal imagination by default ?
ET has the somewhat undesirable characteristic that if you cat /dev/random or some other large file, you're going to have to kill the ET process if you want your terminal back. Mosh does not suffer from that
Look up Appgate sdp
There are moments that tmux's persist session won't work well such as opening nested SSH sessions to another machine with nested tmux to keep the session. Also, tmux does not handle SSH sessions, so if a SSH session disconnected (e.g. WiFi signal lost, your macBook gets sleep mode), you need to manually restart the SSH session and run tmux again, whereas Blink and ET never disconnects the SSH session.

On top of that, I use both tmux and Mosh at the same time. You don't need to use tmux exclusively.

I meant, you don't need to get scared. Both ET and Mosh built on top of SSH and there never be critical errors when dealing with their shell. Though both of them requires installations on the remote but they are a single zero-config packages: just install a package (not "a bunch of") and that's it. No config needed, even no background systemd services needed.

Terminal emulators (xterm, iterm2 etc) are emulating something like a VT220 which were called "glass terminals" to differentiate them from earlier terminals which were keyboards attached to printers. So there's still this underlying concept of an endless spool of paper, and that's what you see when you scroll back. A scroll is literally a long piece of paper.

Anyway that means if you cat some long file and then hit control-c, whatever was output before you aborted still has to be sent to your terminal emulator so it can write it to this paper (save it to the scrollback buffer). This sucks on a slow connection. mosh is running the emulator on the remote side of the connection and the client that you're interacting with locally just syncs periodically to whatever is currently being shown on the screen. So it doesn't have to send all of the output, which as you've seen, does break local scrollback. But it's a great solution for the problem it was designed to solve which is making terminals work over slow and/or unreliable network connections.

If you pair it with gnu screen or tmux, then they become the terminal emulator and maintain the scrollback buffer, so you can still scroll back and see all of the paper. You just can't do it with the slider on your local window because your local emulator doesn't have access to the full contents of the buffer. I turn off scrollbars in rxvt and just rely on screen to maintain the buffer and use command keys to go back when I need to.

> One thing he says is that for remembering faces, its more like he can store a hash or metadata of a face, then when seeing a person again, can check that the hash or meta matches.

That is normal way of remembering things. Pretty much all drawing from life tutorials for beginners put emphasis on human memory being bad when it comes to visual details. They explain in depth that mind simplifies and you should look more then draw.
Going only off of the video I saw of Tim Cook with the shield...

The entire shield is a clear plastic film. It’s held against the forehead using a fabric strap. The shield appears to be either die cut or laser cut, which explains the production speed. A lot of the face shields shown online are 3D printed with hard plastic components, which is a very slow process.

The material looks a lot like the clear plastic film that wraps an iPhone or even an iPad charger. The shield folds together in the same origami-like way. Based on comments about the supply chain being involved, it seems like they leveraged the existing manufacturing process for Apple product packaging and thickened the plastic.

I am sorry to sound like I am being obstinate, but my opinion about this is that as a society, since the early 90s, we have put way to much focus on "tech" than we have put on plain old mathematics or foundational science.

I don't mean manufacturing (which is doing really well), but companies like Microsoft, Google, Facebook (and even Apple) and others do encourage you to try to compete against their founders (or maybe society does that) rather than focusing on being solid mathematically. Yes, Google pays people well with those skills, but movies portray mostly their founders, emphasising how rich they are, while mathematicians are generally portrayed as weird. Society as a whole puts more emphasis on Bill Gates than on fundamental researchers.

In fact, if you really want to have a rich representative, you can pick the Simons guy. (See, I don't even know his name.) His Medallion hedge fund was built on mathematics. Ironically, Bill Gates is these days one of the biggest financial supporters of people with science skills that he doesn't have.

It is a fad to be a techie. Mathematics is not a fad, although it does have internal fads.

Show HN: Seobots.io – simple bots for task automation
Hello HackerNews!

I would like to invite you to test drive a project I've been working on for qute a while: https://seobots.io
This is the long awaited (by myself) release of a concept that I have first presented a few years back.

The initial idea was to create a platform capable of hosting small scripts which I constantly make for work and grating everyone access to them, without the need for downloading anything from github or console knowledge requirements.

These scripts (aka "bots") can do all sorts of things, such as scraping, posting, parsing – you name it.

If you are a developer you can hook your service to the platform and make it available to the public.

Thanks for your time and looking forward to your feedback.
