Someone watching that many subreddits can't have a good grasp on context. They'll end up moderating in a way that seems fine if they don't understand the culture of the subreddit.

Realistic example: someone makes a comment about something nice his boyfriend did. Someone else replies "sounds pretty gay, dude." Could one of these supermods understand that this is a normal and silly thing for queers of a certain age to say to each other? Maybe. I wouldn't count on it. They can't go and dig into each poster's history to see that they post in the same communities and often swap silly comments. The volume in their mod inbox is just too high.
Ask HN: Is Software Energy or Matter?
Yeah, I pretty much agree with much of that. Just pointing out that a majority of patents and patentees aren't really headline-grabbing or anything. Just boring paper shuffling that will never have any impact on anyone, good or bad.

I was very surprised when I first found out FB would run out content. I had assumed that it would just go further back in time, even if the feed was not strictly chronological.
Turns out HN doesn't have a private messaging... and I don't know why I assumed it would.

Very cool! For someone who knows absolutely nothing about rockets, this makes it look so much more primitive for some reason. Just these tubes filled with fuel.
Common English uses oomph to express power, speed, acceleration, strength, etc. Flexibility or broad capability is not the usual meaning.

And given that inflammation is part of the body's immune response (and response to trauma or other damage) it makes sense that it would be correlated with all sorts of bad things.

Showing that inflammation is causative tends to be the hard part, since it's often a consequence of the underlying damage.
Even HN would have a poor usability with only server side rendering.
Ah, the CR-48! I was watching the Google I/O when it was announced, and they shared a link to request the prototype. I filled it out right as they showed it and a couple weeks later I had a new laptop on my doorsteps. I was around 11 at the time so my mom so it first and thought it was like a bomb. The packaging for it was really cool, I won't forget it and it came with a bunch of dope stickers.

I'm even still in the Google Group for the testers, but now and days it's mostly people talking about how the hinges broke on theirs.

I think Jane Street is using OCaml I’m not sure why did they decided to go with functional programming even though most popular firms are still using C/C++
Do you think using functional programming might have advantage over these programming languages

Just curious to find out
Kinda, I guess for a sophisticated “corruption portfolio” I would expect to see suspiciously timed trading but maybe more coherent core holdings. Just because you have inside info doesn’t mean you have a time machine, you still have to protect against unknowns.
You're missing the point of using TypeScript.

How does having native (as in internally having the transpiler embedded) in deno make you suddenly use TS one day? You can use ts-node.

How long do you think all the browsers would agree that TS would totally be the future of JS and implement it natively, let alone wait until everyone out there to start using such browsers that non TS supporting browsers are almost all eliminated for them to be ignored? There's a reason TS can be compiled down to ES5.

And why are you asking TS for performance over raw JS? Seems off topic from TS' point of view. TS and JS use same principle in the runtime environment and not sure how TS can suddenly beat JS by a good margin.

A project that needs multiple minutes for every change sounds like you're doing it wrong. Split the code or use ts-node?

And you want to throw away all the benefits of TS until all of the above which I don't really feel are required are solved? I don't see why.
So maybe we shouldn't be giving these people tax incentives and pretending that they stimulate local business.
Hashima Island – An Abandoned Island City
I don't understand your point. It's not the measurement itself that is the failure. It's making that measurement a goal that's the problem. The real metric that matters for any company is profit. Anything else is just an arbitrary measurement that is believed to help achieve that goal. The metric of profit is also gamed which is why a lot of people and companies do shady things.
It's possible because many motherboards and even integrated systems fail to setup EDAC properly at boot time.
Actually, you don't do those things at the same time. The finger thing is mostly for clarifying the beat patterns before you start playing. On the Tabla, or actually in Northern Indian music, you do things like play a 27 beat bar and a 16 beat bar at the same time, and pseudo merging back on the 80th beat (16x4 and 27x3-1).
Thanks for sharing all this
I believe that it's not a proof by contradiction, but a direct proof of a negative statement. Subtle distinction:

Direct proof of negative statement: Assuming P is true, there is a contradiction. Thus, P is false.

Proof by contradiction: Assuming P is not true, there is a contradiction. Thus, P is true.

The key bit is that in constructive mathematics, "P is not true" does not imply "P is false."

This isn't a study, it's a summary of reasons why testosterone might be related (positively OR negatively) to Covid19 outcomes in males. The intent seems to be to solicit funding for actual studies.

I really don't see much reason to be linking papers which are this early in the scientific process here. It just creates confusion. HN readers often don't read the links completely or at all, and are prone to overestimate how conclusive papers are. At the time I'm writing this, literally every single comment on this thread is misunderstanding what this paper is.

Where can i find openHFT
I can see this information playing into some troubling right-wing tropes about masculinity. Basically, if you are an Alpha (High T) you won't get sick, but if you are a weak Beta (Low T) you will. Therefore, if you get sick from Covid and you are a man, you are weak and somehow deserve it.

I hope this does not play out like this and everyone is rational and compassionate, but I doubt it.

Based on a large (over 50 results) domain search for a company I work for, the data I found was very old, circa 2014.

I know this because almost everyone in the domain search stopped working for the company on or after 2014. Everyone else has worked at the company since 2013 or earlier.

Many tickets are scored with a difficulty, and sometimes comes with a mentor: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/labels?q=E-

I think there are meaningful things a beginner can do. I'd be surprised if improving error messages would be terribly hard. And working on the small issues will help you become familiar enough to help with the bigger things.

Edit: Also perhaps a way to get some exposure to the rust compiler is to help implement lints (in clippy) - it's basically a compiler plugin and relies on the same things available in the compiler.
Since this thread has been extremely popular, is there a possibility to make this a regular monthly thread, similar to "Who wants to be hired"?
We can make those with JS/React so I wonder if users can tell.
Of course the hugely popular, cross-platform apps are probably going to be "really native" forever..
It's not a safe bet. I've build project under AGPL, and made plenty of money doing it. There are places where open is good business, and there are places where proprietary is good business, and there's everything in between. AGPL was nice since I could be open, which had huge market advantage, but release code which my competitors would /never/ take advantage of. It had, quite literally, zero downsides, and a lot of upsides.

There are projects where I do 100% proprietary too, and a mix. It's a business decision. It's not as stupid as proprietary=profit and open=charity. It's a business calculation in every case.
Apps only work for very specific use cases. The difficulty in getting people to download your app shows that. That study doesn’t seem to break down what apps are being used. I’m going to guess games, as they dominate the charts, or specific websites that have created mobile apps. Facebook, Twitter or maps, which are used for multiple hours straight when driving.

If there is a site you use often enough it graduates to living in your phone. But the majority of what apps can do is never even touched.

I’d be much more interested in a breakdown of app usage, as I bet active time shifts more towards web

Are they wrong? No one is saying that it is unnatural or baffling that people are leaving the city, are they? What are the implications of the data they are reporting on? Do you think it's class warfare to even acknowledge that people who have better economic means have more freedom to react to the pandemic?

Maybe it's class warfare that the poor bear the brunt of the damage the pandemic and quarantine have done, without means to leave, forced to work "essential jobs" to not get evicted and thus more exposed to the virus, and more vulnerable to economic disruptions.
I don't think so. Hardly anyone is that stupid nowadays that they would run their own assets against privileged information. Corruption, especially in western countries,tend to be a bit more sophisticated.A simplified example: Senator A figures out that stock value of company X will drop because of upcoming legislation. He contacts his college years friend,who happens to own a lot of this company's stocks. The friend sell on time just before stock price crashes amd nets millions. Now senator A wants something im return. So it happens that his daughter is finishing marketing studies and will be in need for a job. The friend places senator's daughter in one of his firms and now she's newly baked VP of Marketing.
>a body nobody really cares to see shirtless

As a European, I find this (apparently American) sentiment to be abhorrent. Our bodies shouldn't be treated as sculptures for the public to adore.
How much of this is a consequence of companies intentionally crippling their websites, though? I can name countless companies that either don't have a website beyond what is essentially a link to the app store or have removed a significant number of features from their website.
Well, I think this is really hyperbolic. I think it depends on the application, and the consumer. And the web is a tremendous success. You should take a step back and look at how your entire life is affected by the web. It seems really, really off the mark to say that the web is not a success.

You can criticize it, sure. But - you are using a computer 100% because of the web, not because of spreadsheet software.

Now, back to web vs. native. You just have people who prefer either. I exclusively use apps. I think the experience is better in every way, and I've never seen a web application deliver comparable experience to a native app. But, almost every native app is backed by a web server. And, some things I do want to remain web apps, like Wikipedia.

I think the web community overall looks at native apps like they are some weird, alien technology because they're completely blinded by what they build and what tools they use. Like always, if we understood why users enjoy native apps, we could learn a lot of things. I'd argue that we are learning that, which is why there are lots of SPAs. That doesn't mean that's the only way to build software, it just means that people do actually enjoy that experience.

Something stylistically along the lines of Southland Tales would work I think.
This article is based on a false premise it makes very early: "[scientists] note that in the absence of a vaccine, the only way out of the pandemic is through herd immunity".

No, scientists do not note that. The clear consensus is that you reduce the number of cases down to the capacity of your contact tracing capability and you use quarantine to shut down local outbreaks. China, South Korea, Australia... what do you think they are doing?

Letting the virus go wild among the population to establish "herd immunity" is nobody's idea of a good time. Are 70% of people under the age of 50? Is it ok to kill 0.2% of the country? Even if you don't die, what is it like to have Covid? Are you even immune after having it? Nobody is seriously considering letting the virus loose.

Western Australia currently has nobody in hospital with Covid, and restrictions are significantly easing on Monday. Their rate of immunity is basically zero and they seem to be doing just fine.
There are a lot of mixed up discussions going on here. Some people are generally anti-law enforcement, some are against warrantless wiretapping, others are concerned about backdoors from a technical perspective. I'm with you though I'm not sure being against warrants is a sensible position.

How would you deal with illiquid assets? I can't imagine a republican taking the business they spent their whole life building and putting it into a trust managed by government bureaucrats.
Wait until Propublica learns that lenders are underwriting based on pro-forma forward Adjusted EBITDA net leverage, not past EBITDA leverage.

The whole idea of Adjusted EBITDA is insane to me. We add back "one-time," expenses and other items, but the underlying business ends up seeing similar "one-time," costs every year.

The result is that companies often borrow at a leverage ratio that looks 30% smaller than it actually is. This year we are doing "COVID-19," addbacks. What the fuck? You lost money because of COVID, so add it back to EBITDA so that you are still meeting your loan covenants? Lenders are in on it too, because they don't want to see their clients default and deal with bankruptcy or taking control of the assets.
I also think Auth0 looks a bit sketchy. I think it’s a combination of looking different than the host app and the design looking a bit outdated.

No, I've copied Tor :)

And re dynamic circuits, I did a crude hack: https://github.com/mirimir/vpnchains

I only use Tor via nested VPN chains. The VPNs mainly provide backup anonymity, in case Tor circuits are compromised. And they also anonymize me vs Tor use, which may avoid attention.

When I don't care so much about anonymity, I just use nested VPN chains. Throughput is 5-10 times that for Tor, latency is lower, and I'm not limited to TCP.
I would say the try!() macro is an exception to that rule: if the ? operator existed since the beginning, it would be seen as "too much magic" (in a language that already used up most of its "strangeness budget" in lifetimes/borrowing), while try!() is just a very simple macro you could write yourself, with no special compiler support. Only later, after people got used to try!() everywhere, the ? operator became viable, as "just a shortcut to try!() with better precedence (and it also works on Option)".

That is, there's a path dependence, where the existence of try!() made the ? operator viable.
I'm not sure I understand how to read that graph.

It says "% of max, 7 day rolling". What is max in that context? The maximum charging capacity (e.g. there is a car charging in every charger at all time?) or the max usage in the 7 day window?
It’s easier to hire javascript developers, no? Even if it’s not the most efficient.
Pure garbage. I still can't believe they actually think this is a good idea. That honestly is once of the worst metrics I've ever seen.
Sure, but it's much leaner because it only uses JavaScript when it is necessary.

You'll be taken more seriously if you don't engage in meaningless hyberbole. You could recreate the open-the-reply-page-in-a-new-tab behaviour of HN (with the context-preserving JS enhancement for the non-middle-clickers) with a few kilobytes of JS if you're doing it right.

If they dived deeper into the usage patterns and broke down app usage by specific apps, I'd suspect a vast majority of that time is spent in a tiny handful of popular apps, since there are also countless studies pointing to the fact that consumers don't install more than a handful of native apps.

If you remove time spent in those popular apps and their respective websites from the stats, the data would likely paint a vastly different story (that might not be in the best interest for a site that relies on pushing "Launching mobile apps for your WordPress site" to highlight ofc).

Even if it weren't hereditary (although I believe that it's well accepted and uncontroversial that it is), it's still pretty clear that it's innate.

Yeah, we let the web become Cable TV. It's dying the same slow death as Cable TV while executives scratch their heads about why the perpetual growth stopped.

The advertising is so pervasive, so annoying, so invasive and so awful it just makes the medium unusable. The same trends are starting to creep into podcasting and video games and I just wish people would realize they are slowly destroying their own businesses with this garbage.
