Yes, the actual code will always tell you exactly what it does.

There is always a necessary distinction between specification and implementation: if there weren't, one of them would have no value. We often suggest that the intent of a piece of code should be specified in comments, and this is in that category. This way, the compiler can read your comment and figure out if it needs updating! Languages without dependent types work this way too - but you have to try very hard indeed to be eloquent in type signatures, and being able to talk about values lets you say a bit more.

Coming onto your second point: if the function is only valid for some set of values of the given type, why is it 'not really called for' to create specialised types for it? If you call it with something else and it runs, it will be a bug. Newtypes or wrappers are common patterns.

I think that most mainstream typed languages have common constructs to offer that 'A or a B' value you want: this is solved via inheritance, `Either`, `Result`, or `std::variant`.
Just want to offer perspective from the investor side: I own just one Airbnb in a hot market (downtown, hip neighborhood) and even though bookings were cancelled in April, they’re building back up for May and summer months. It was scary for sure for a span of several weeks, but there were always other contingencies before liquidating (like converting it to a long term rental).

Even if I went along with the panic, it would take probably three months to go through with any transaction that would throw a desirable property onto the market. The demand is still so strong that the low price would likely chum the waters and competitive bidding would drive the price up.

I think these Airbnb liquidation sale headlines are being sensational and end up wasting buyers time.

Neat write-up, and thanks for putting me on to jsonld.js - looks useful.

I'm building https://simplescraper.io and we're trying to create heuristics to update CSS selectors whenever a website changes. People become unhappy when a scrape task that ran smoothly on Monday suddenly returns nothing on Tuesday so while it's a tough nut to crack it's super important.

We use a combination of XPath, historical data and data type (the value may change but the type and length often remain the same or similar) to narrow down the options.

Of course there's more sophisticated methods using Machine learning etc. but it's fun to try different approaches to solve this problem.

Previously when we have large problems like this, companies are not allowed to loan out so much debt it would bankrupt many non-startups. If it's different this time, it's because companies are allowed to loan at far more than they should be able to. The last time companies (and people) were allowed to loan out so much it caused major problems was 1929.

The Spanish Flu crashed the stock market pretty badly with a quick recovery in the 1910s similar to today, but loaning was not crazy then so it didn't hurt the economy in the long term.

Richard Feynman’s Advice to a Young Stephen Wolfram (1985)
> When someone calls my work garbage, I can sit there and try to come up with excuses, or I can say "yes it is!" and we can move on towards a solution.

When someone calls my work garbage, but isn't willing to sit and discuss what is garbage about it, nor willing to discuss the cost of fixing it, I will ignore him/her.

Talk is cheap. It's trivial for someone to come up with a surface reason to complain. It's harder to take all factors into account.

I was once doing a project where I was solving something in a brute force, inefficient way, but it was simple to code and we had the computer time available. One developer kept loudly complaining in meetings about how crappy and dumb my method was. I finally set up a meeting with him and asked him how we would do it. His solution was far more efficient, but would also take up to a week to implement. I asked "Given our deadline, do you think it is worth losing a week of computer time to implement your method?" He thought about it and said "No, my method won't make up for the time lost."

If you're not willing to sit in the trenches with me, your feedback will have lower weight. I'm in the business of solving problems, not in the business of perfection. At some level, my software is always going to be garbage. You want it not to be? You better have a stake in the outcome, then.

Interesting argument.

In fact if the fault would lie only between screen and the 'last mile' on the GPU you would be correct. But GPUs are slightly more than simple display renderers (at least nowadays), so (vast simplification) multiple renderings happen before the actual display output is generated and sent over the wire to the display.

E.g. a failing memory on the GPU might only corrupt the output of a single window/application, since this window is using the GPU to render content, while everything else is fine.

That's not what real time, means though. Real time processing means taking signals as they come in, and outputting the transformed result such that there is as close to no signal lag as possible. The output can in fact be wildly lower or higher resolution, real-time does not particularly say anything about that. It's all about whether the output plays (for practical purposes) at the perceived "same time" as the input signal. There will always be some delay, but that delay can't get perceivable, and for obvious reasons there can't be any (significant) buffering.

They're clearly not 'more in poverty'. The point is that they spend (the US equivalent) of Trillions of dollars per year for comparable outcomes.

>They're healthier, more fit and highly educated.

This is a matter of culture, not economics. The US already spends more per pupil than all of the 'top 5' nations, with worse outcomes. [0]

I know the vitamin D deficiency theory has been discussed at length on HN but I don't know why it isn't brought up seriously in the cigarette discussion as well. This article just brushes it aside:

> Note that the researchers seem to have been pursuing the good old Vitamin D chimera: the poor devils went looking in the fridge for milk and found a pack of Marlboro reds.

It makes sense to me that smokers would be the one segment of the population that's consistently _not_ vitamin D deficient: they're forced to stand outside for 5-minutes several times a day while they smoke.

Maybe it's the behavioral differences between smokers and non-smokers and not the cigarettes themselves. How do people who vape fare with Covid-19? They're presumably consuming the same (or more) nicotine as smokers but probably aren't going outside for every hit.

I would be gladly writing a lot of stuff in a Prolog-like language if there was a dialect that separated rule construction from traversal manipulation. This is such an obvious thing. I should be able to construct a set of rules and then say "but this time, ignore this branch" (without changing the tree with cuts). Or something like "do depth-first for up to 1000 levels and give me the incomplete set of answers".

In SQL you don't change the database simply because you want to run a different query. You manipulate the query, the indices and the query hints.

I agree that this whole thing could end up being good for people stuck in the current system. Personally, US immigration path has become so much less reasonable comparing to Canada's. Hostility is the word I'd describe the system in US.

On another topic, the American PhD's quote doesn't make sense without context. Why "mediocre" scientists are the issue for scientific "competition"? The proportion of top people is always low, scientist or not. It's the system's fault that the whole scientific process becomes a "competition" in my opinion.

I'm really curious to see how this actually pans out. As someone who enjoys remote work it's tempting to look at the situation today and say "finally! The fever has broken! Employers will realise how great remote work is!", but in reality a lot of the current remote working situations are a complete shitshow. I think we on HN feel it less because we're already a very tech-literate crowd, so remote video conferencing and collaborative editing (e.g. GitHub) is nothing new to us. But we're not normal in that regard.

I wonder if we'll see a sharp swing to the reverse once this pandemic is controlled (however that actually ends up looking). This experience might actually poison people's opinions of remote work in the longer term, not boost them. I hope to be wrong.

Commenter said:

> > is setting one sprite to two different positions on alternating frames to provide the illusion of two separate objects, which will flicker.

Which is not something described here.

Two things are described:

* Multiplexing sprites by changing their position mid-screen (no flicker).

* Animating sprites by toggling between sprite variants on alternate frames (and -not- changing their position). (Flicker only to the extent -desired-).

And I said:

> No flickering involved, except for the "afterburner" variant of this.

True, but I'm not that convinced the Boltzmann really is the most natural distribution to claim fits. Especially on the blue side it looks like the residuals could be pretty atrocious. Why didn't they try to some other right-skewed distributions? You could try a log-normal for instance, that would have a much simpler interpretation.

I think this crazy thermodynamic idea is really the entire motivation for the paper, and explains why they didn't really spend any effort exploring it.
Honestly you should have yo pay a premium for foreign workers. If you can’t hire a local to pick fruit at minimum wage then you have to pay a Mexican temp worker more to do the same job.

We’re having decent success recording and sharing small video presentations. People can speak in their own voice, they can point at things which is sometimes faster than describing them.

I’ve always been a stickler for clear writing, but recently I decided I will settle for effective communication of any form.
I work in a team with some people who are dyslexic. I've noticed they don't communicate over written communication as much as some others, even preferring to create voice recordings or videos to share their thoughts. I definitely prefer written communication, but I think neurodiversity is one reason it's tough to make it a policy.

I think the argument here is that creating quality assets with those levels of detail is expensive, not that you can create large and unwieldy meshes by not understanding how to model efficiently... that goes without saying.
same here. I do feel a little embarrassed sometimes that i am being manager by someone 10 yrs younger than me. I have to remind myself to no think like that.

Not sure if its cultural/genetic to feel like that or what.
It is probably too early for the price drops. No one knows how much of a crisis this will end up being, so any price moves are likely to be slow. Most owners can sit out a season of no rents, and a few who cannot may get some mortgage relief or bailout to help them swim for a while. Not idea on how seasonal LA real estate market is, but if things are looking dim in late summer / fall you might find some bargains then. My 2c.
I think what you mean by 'hipsters' is 'professionals'. As someone who's made several records and been in many recording studios, I would challenge you to name a single record that does not utilize an analog signal chain, for mastering at the very least. VST modeling is great when you want a super clear tone and is very popular in certain genres. But definitely not ubiquitous and certainly not superior tech. Digital just don't SLAP like analog.
Yeah, there absolutely should be a content warning on this article. It is the right thing to do. However, social media plays similar, more damaging and more insidious psychological tricks. Big data makes it more personalized and damaging. I think many have become desensitized to the harms micro targeting on our hopes and fears has done, via social media in particular. Hence, the lack of concern and sensitivity for the need of a content warning.
I'm in the mid-40's, though I went the management route because that's what I enjoy. I recently interviewed at MS and a couple FAANGs and was very happy to see that all of them had people older than me as core members of their tech teams. Now, on the startup side of things, I'm pretty sure I had domain names older than nearly all of my interviewers.
> Instead of admitting our ignorance of the situation and embracing precaution, you’re painting that ignorance as strength and hiding behind appeals to decorum.

Where in the world are you getting that? This is not something we are totally ignorant about.

Even if the syndrome you decided to tout is 100% COVID-19s fault, it has still only killed 3 children. That is the definition of statistically insignificant.

Again – statistically, with our current knowledge, children in general do not have much to fear from this virus. We know that people are dying, and we know that the vast majority of the people dying are not, in fact, children.

You seem to be saying that because we don't know everything, we can't make informed decisions at all. But we can. Based on what we know, children have very little relative risk.
> but some of that is intrinsic in what real estate is. You can go inside your house and it keeps the rain out, which is nice.

yeah and that remains true when real estate is exchanged for the amount of cash people have on hand, instead of how much cash they could theoretically produce in 30 years.

the game is trying to figure out how much of that intrinsic value is relevant right now, or how close is the current price to that 'intrinsic value' since they can be far far far away from each other. its just a commodity no matter how married you are to the asset class: if there is a glut of supply because people can't afford the mortgages or property taxes then prices go down. The banks and states don't care, they already earned what they wanted from the mortgage/property owner and are derisked. when you default they will get the property off their book as fast as possible.
computers have been taking over the world for decades. so over the past several decades the demand for programmers has increased a great deal. this means that older programmers are going to remain in the minority for as long as computers keep taking over everything, because as the demand keeps increasing, every new generation of programmers will be larger than the one before.
I enjoyed the write-up. Iteresting that you say you invested too much time in writing. What are your readership stats if I may ask?
They are crowdsourced if only in the sense because that is how the crowd has been trained to think.

The peoples reaction to isolate, stay indoors was not spontaneous and though prudent, certainly not individual. There was a lot of group think involved.

If there is one thing that this pandemic has taught me, it is this - the extent of the thought/behavior control machinery spans the globe, and is effective.

Edit:
This is an example of abuse of data and hence arriving at an incorrect position which can then drive policies.

The author plots the transportation data and the graph decline clearly shows people choosing to not travel.
What it doesn't show is the propaganda broadcast preceding those times which "informed" the people and consequently altered their behavior. If you do, you'll see a sharp increase just before the transportation decline.

I can't validate this but have been told this by multiple authors and SEO professionals. So it's anecdotal. One blogger apologized to me and told me she was embarrassed doing it but it's an industry practice. She explained it's because other recipe sites use automated scraping tools and republish their recipes in an effort to outrank original authors. The personal fluff helps slow them down. Also, a lot of recipes are bullshit, they manually steal them from elsewhere and change a few variables to evade copyright claims. Although, I guess changing a few variables is how cuisines evolve.

Yep. I’ve been on a few remote teams where I write a lot (in plain language too), and have found that if my audience is non-technical management that they simply don’t read it. Decisions continue to be made on their gut whims despite access to the critical information.

I guess that what the article is on about. Writing on its own isn’t enough, the culture must be set top-down to include reading and value added communications as well.

I think a lot of workers who do not have a craft per se just want to coast and pretend to work, and get offended or embarrassed when they encounter serious contributors that make them look useless.

There is an attitude toward the writer of “if you know the topic so well, then just handle ‘it’ and get ‘it’ done”. Unfortunately their idea of “it” has nothing in common with what is described or advocated in the writings.
