In Photoshop nothing is real
Nothing is fake
So I ask you
How many images and photos we believe are real
Aren't

Is that all it takes
To show you saying things you never said
In the headlines, in bed

I would highly recommend "Why We Sleep" by Matthew Walker to get academic insight to latest research related to sleep and basic understanding what sleep is. There is a good touch on how other species sleep; and why having a nap during a day is beneficial in improving intellectual and physical capacities!

Sleep health benefits are definitely underrated in modern society..

Based on my understanding of the topic I sympathise the research narrative to move to polyphasic sleep cycle to COPE with sleep disorders I do not believe it is adequate sleeping routine to any healthy individual and doing so can be harmful to health!

And from personal note as a parent raising second infant I can confirm that having segmented night sleep over long periods of time is most de-humanizing experience with real mental threads.

Would you have held the same opinion if you were around in the US in the 1930s and discovered that IBM was developing a new-fangled census system for the newly-elected German government[1]? Or after the news of the death camps was made public, you discovered that IBM had continued to maintain the system they'd created to help track people for the Nazis? Would you have worked for IBM at the time, knowing this was going on?

If you would've spoken out, then you agree with the principle but don't agree that ICE is "bad enough" to warrant this treatment. If you wouldn't have spoken out but wouldn't have worked for them, then you agree that working on these systems is clearly unethical (and thus IBM was acting unethically) but feel that ethics are less important than not disrupting the freedom of a company to sell their services to whoever they like. If you would've worked for them and wouldn't have spoken out, then we have very different views on ethics and I'm not sure we're going to agree on anything.

Yes, laws should be changed but businesses should be held accountable for who they do business with. You'd better believe that the US government wouldn't have the same rosy outlook you do if they discovered that GitHub was selling software to known terrorist groups.

The BLM protesters and related events smashed, looted and burned a lot of retail locations a couple weeks ago. During/after most retail locations boarded up, even 10 miles from downtown SF.

This is not that unusual in the US, and happened in previous years in LA and Oakland.

Personally, I find that one much more interesting. Before I was familiar with array languages, I hoped that functional programming and lisp would become the new zeitgeist of software development. Now, I think that array languages have the most promise in revolutionizing the discipline. While it probably wont happen, I wouldn't complain if array languages became the defacto norm for most new applications.

This misses the point of why expressive type systems matter. Beginners and hobbyist (and i’m using these labels in the best possible sense) play with these things, push bounderies, etc... Professionals (in the literate sense, ie. people getting paid for it) tend to just solve problems whilst being fully aware that they have many powerful tools in their arsenal if/when the need arises. If you have a pro who is constantly lost in type-golfing land then that’s a problem.
I agree with the other poster. If you can memorize log(e^N) = N, you could have memorized other notations for expressing the same. Math notation doesn't make Euler's Identity self-evident, and can be used to obscure the geometric operations taking place.

To those who haven't memorized Euler's Identity (I'm aware of it due to your comment, but will probably forget it in a day or two), this "self-evident" truth is invisible no matter which notation is used.

C notation is bad, but has the advantage of being precisely representable in ASCII. To post math notation you'd need to upload a PNG somewhere.

Expat = white/pale skin immigrant. Racial entitlement continues to this day. Notice how only white people ever choose to consider themselves to be "expats"
So it's not really about race, then, but about politics all along? I think you'd agree with Sowell a lot more than you imagine in that case!

Sowell has the advantage of being black, which makes his view closer to home than the vast majority of anti-racism activists, who seem to frequently be white people telling other white people what black people find offensive (see: comments on the GitHub master/main discussions).

Sowell also ends up on the receiving end of genuine racism, at least according to his own claims, in particular racism of the form "why are you conservative and telling black people to solve your own problems when you're black?", as if being black actually requires him to be on the left, or makes him some sort of race traitor if he isn't.
Racism is a form of bias, propably the nastiest one. And that is why you pick one particular for f bias when you start fighting it. Just lumping racism in with other forms of bias, while not factually wrong, is only helping the status quo.

And it seems that majority of people is supporting the current protests and BLM movement.

Where I live, it's not that uncommon to found a tech company and step down as the "nominal" CEO a few months later to put in place a white guy—the right shade of white—who fits the expectations of customers and partners. The original founder may still be the one making executive decisions, but he/she is not the public face anymore.
I would not be surprised if it turns out the ratio of factual information to false information is higher in propaganda outlets than in ad-sponsored outlets.

(ad-sponsored media measure what ratio of advertising to editorial maximizes their profit. Propagandists do the same; if you want eyeballs on the propaganda, you need plenty of straight content in between)

Linebarger, "Psychological Warfare" (1948)

"The intelligence that goes into the making of propaganda must compete for attention with the home newspaper of the enemy. It must therefore be up-to-date, well put, authentic. ... Even if exaggerations or nonsense appear in the commercial press of his own country, the propagandist must realize that he is Honorary G-2 to the enemy—a G-2 whose function consists of transmitting news the ultimate effect of which should be bad but which should go forth with each separate item newsworthy and palatable.
...
The Japanese who obediently hated the Americans when it was their duty to do so nevertheless could not help looking at maps that showed where the Americans actually were. Nazis who despised us and everything we stood for nevertheless studied the photographs of our new light bombers. The appeal of credible fact is universal; propaganda does not consist of doctoring the fact with moralistic blather, but of selecting that fact which is correct, interesting, and bad for the enemy to know."

Note that in 2020, double-checking credible fact has become easier than it was in 1950.

> What flaws of the left are being exploited here?

It's impossible to elucidate in a way that wouldn't cause a left or right partisan to howl with objections, but the big one is making perfect the enemy of good. This often comes in the form of extreme purity tests and an inability to accept compromise.

The left has had some past success using shaming as a weapon and now it's being used as a one-size-fits-all bludgeon to solve all of society's failings (e.g. gay rights, climate change). Trumpism is the right's immune system response to this: hence why they chose a leader whose superpower is an inability to feel shame. (Meanwhile the left spent the past three years trying to beat up Trump using shame and remain bewildered as to why it didn't work.)

Another one is a massive blind spot around the idea of having the same ethics but different ethical priorities. That would take a whole book chapter to explain so I'm not even going to get into it here. But at the extreme it culminates in the left unable to comprehend the mindset of a sincere Trump supporter as anything other than a burn-the-house-down anarchist.

> but now also Coronavirus.

I'm sorry, but you completely lost me there. I'm in Australia where we have similar cultural norms around human contact, similar levels of population density and a distracted and not overly competent right-wing national government. Yet we got the Coronavirus under control very quickly. We're just a few steps behind New Zealand, the oft-cited COVID-19 success story.

Most of the USA's astonishing failure was self-inflicted, predominantly due to a lack of prompt national leadership over containment strategy. There's no two ways about it, the USA fu_________________ed this one up so hard. The incompetence is staggering.

This is the chapter of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" where the wolf actually came. This is the chapter where Trump wasn't merely pissing off the left, he actually screwed up because he was too busy pissing off the left.
> What will GitHub's replacement "cool" service be?

Hopefully this will be ForgeFed [0] standards support, allowing forges such as github, github, gitea, sourcehut, notabug, etc. to interoperate via ActivityPub-based federation.

ForgeFed opens walled gardens and allows anyone to interact with any repo with a single account regardless on where it resides. It is still in early development stage, but received funding from NLNet which will be distributed among contributors working on roadmap items [1]. Additionally feedback is requested via the Feneas forum [2] so make yourself heard :)

This isn't that complicated. Apple is free to operate a closed system, just like the video game consoles.

I don't understand how the comparison to government makes any sense. This is a private business and you want to sell on their marketplace. You agreed to their terms in order to do so. If those terms suck you can avoid the platform altogether, as many people do.
Yes it is! And that's what makes it art. The judgements you are both making are valid but then you'll see that they are also ridiculous because you can still have fun with it even though it basically tries to be wrong in every aspect. This is just an example but this applies everywhere. Judgements are just concepts, habits, nothing else, they don't attach to real experience. It shows you your habit.
And it's a hostage/racket situation because going through App Store is the only way to presence on iOS. It's a service you can't refuse if you want your product to have any semblance of success.
> which move faster than the speed of light in the air emitting Cherenkov light

Key words "in the air". As they can't go faster than C in this medium[0], they are forced to slow down, and emit this lost kinetic energy as radiation - my understanding.

Something a bit better, from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cherenkov_radiation

Cherenkov radiation is electromagnetic radiation emitted when a charged particle passes through a dielectric medium at a speed greater than the phase velocity of light in that medium. A classic example of Cherenkov radiation is the characteristic blue glow of an underwater nuclear reactor.

[0] I realise this seems contradictory - they can't but for a short time they are - I don't understand that either.

Some businesses barely make enough to pay the bills and bring food on the table. You can decide what's reasonable or not with your budget but you can't project that on every single person or business.

> What do you think is fundamentally wrong with such a view

It simply doesn't work in the real world. It's a nice ideal but it's not a thing for most people.

People on HN tend to forget that we're earning more than the average here. I made more money during one of my uni's internship, it was before getting my bachelor so I didn't even have any kind of degrees at the time, than my mom was making at the peak of her career. So yes I can save 50% of my salary and have 2 years of emergency fund without even trying to save. On the other hand my mom never had that and couldn't have that even if she wanted to, it's the exact same thing for businesses.

After all that's why we live in societies, pay taxes, have insurances, &c.
> To me, this example serves as a stark reminder that women's bodies are still expected to conform to absurd norms in the media.

When male actors and models are seen in films or photographs they are shaved or at least heavily trimmed, they have just worked out to cause a "pump" in their muscles, they are dehydrated to make them appear more lean and vascular and they are perfectly lit from above to show off the definition. How's that for an absurd norm?

Not only that but women have the power to choose where to shop and what to look at. They are not poor creatures who need your help. Who do you think buys from Victoria's Secret and reads the women's magazines? Women do. Let them choose.
Obviously the best way to get out of a bad situation is to help yourself first. The hardest part of this problem cannot be solved by outsiders but outsiders can certainly prevent progress if they put their minds to it. If you are a victim of discrimination then you must demonstrate through your own power that you you can succeed despite the discrimination. If you depend on help from others then you may not be taken seriously and you might never learn to help yourself.
The memo called into question the diversity effort's efficiency and methods, because it pointed out that it seems that the effort had no rational grounding, therefore it was succeeding at best as an expensive PR (or Corporate Social Responsibility) stunt and worst it hurts Google.

I love CockroachDB's blog; it's one of my favourites. But the part of this article that argues why nested transactions are a bad idea left me with more questions than answers.

> Finally, nested transactions can run afoul of correctness in distributed apps. In fact, the idea of multi-component transactions in client code really evokes the idea of a bull in a china shop. As long as all is well and the transaction is due to commit, the idea somewhat makes sense. However, what happens when the database (and not the client) decides the transaction is un-committable and must be aborted, for example because of a serializability conflict or a node restarting for maintenance? It is not just the database state that must be rolled back; all the possible side effects performed by the components holding the transaction must also be rolled back. Think about payment transactions. Think about email notifications. For one, the programmer is unlikely to think about this properly before the app is deployed. Also, as the number of components involved grows, the chance they are collectively performing unabortable external side effects (logging, payments, notification emails or SMS, REST queries to external HTTP APIs, etc) increases dramatically.

Is this really an argument against nested transactions? It seems like an argument against all kinds of transactions that are linked to irreversible side effects, regardless of whether any are nested.

> Nowadays, such tight coupling has a bad rep. This is because two additional decades of software engineering have taught us that implicit global state really, really does not play well with distributed services where some components may fail even as part of normal load. It makes it hard to fail over a component gracefully by transferring its responsibility to a hot spare. It makes it hard to reason about the current state of a component and troubleshoot it by just looking at the log of its inputs and outputs.

This is convincing, but I would love to know what the author (or others) think the better alternative is, which solves the hot spare and "normal load failure" problems. Is it highly-available message queues? (And assume they never fail or all fail at once, but never fail piecemeal because that would cause half-updated state?) Is it (distributed/microservices) application code stuck in (distributed) retry loops when there are failures, to get its job done without half-updated state?

> Additionally, nested transactions can amplify performance anomalies. The row locks established by a large transaction whose latency extends across multiple components/services are more likely to incur transaction conflicts which, at best, increase the average latency of queries and, at worse, increase the error rate quadratically with the current query load.

Is this not a CockroachDB-specific performance limitation, rather than an argument against nested transactions per se?
As he mentioned and in my experience they are good at breaking news stories. It will help you decide on your next move or figure out why market moves when other news network have not covered it yet. Being wrong or right is not relevant, there are lots of other news sources.

I just don't understand why Amazon (and apparently Newegg) continue to do this. It's clear by now that sellers have abused it "launder" counterfeits into online retail fulfillment systems. Just charge an extra fee to the third-party seller to keep their inventory separate, have them stick a unique inventory barcode on it, and be done with it!

Because for a long time people were trying to shove Go into use cases that before were covered by C applications. Some infrastructure has been developed in Go (Kubernetes being quite prominent) and so the overlap between systems programming and web/enterprise got muddy.

Rust can't cover the enterprise use-cases of Go the same way that Go won't ever cover what Rust can do on systems/embedded level but there is enough overlap in some cases to confuse people into trying to compare them directly.
