> You make it sound like it's normal that people would expect that they can drive into a bridge without checking the height first

1. Most people would correctly expect that road-approved vehicles would clear all bridges.

2. This one is literally a couple of inches out for clearance; it looks like the truck is 12ft (or whatever the current bridge height is), which is probably what the truck's height indication is. It's not unreasonable for the driver to expect to clear the bridge even knowing the height of both, especially if they match closely.

3. The bridge was recently lifted to its current height - if this is a 'local' driver, they probably expect all vehicles to clear it now, knowing it got lifted.

To represent a null pointer. Nim is a systems language (or at least can be used as one), and you need null/nil when working at that level.

Even Haskell has null pointers, if you know where to look:

It shouldn't take you hours to code these new features. And 1000 nodes isn't enough that you need fancy performance from a library.

I suspect you want to extract a few basic functions from what you've already written, and then combine them for new features. The posibilities are not endless, there's only so many things you are likely to want to do on a graph, and the vast majority (like TFA) are not useful to you

Here are some common operations:
* list everythign reachable from a given node, depth first order
* list everythign reachable from a given node, breadth first order
* make the reverse graph (edges point the other way)
* find the strongly connected component a node is in (a more general way of identifying loops)

Then you can build more complex queries out of those, rather than coding them every time. e.g.

> show only the part of the graph that leads to this category of nodes

get the reverse graph, for each node in the category, find everything reachable in the reverse graph, and union them together in one set

> display the graph while hiding everything downstream of node X

get the set of everything downstream, then list everything depth first, skipping stuff in the set.

It's not super efficient, but I don't think you care.

I have assumed for a while the only way to convert FB -> RSS would be to scrape the home page, but from what I recall the HTML & DOM is all kinds of messed up - intentionally obfuscated to prevent adblocking. From a quick look just now it does seem like it would be a nightmare to try to parse it as-is - and I would guess FB changes a lot of the output regularly anyway to defeat adblockers, making efforts to keep up pretty challenging.
Thanks for all the questions raised here. Really appreciate it. To answer your concerns/questions -

1. Registration part is open-source and we have taken precautions such that same user doesn't register twice from the same device using different SIMs, change of devices.
2. We have made sure that the registered device is a mobile number
3. Restriction and verification of the user registration to where the poll is being held. For example, currently VOTEism app cannot be downloaded outside of US.
4. Counting part is not open-source by design, because it is processed offline and it is a proprietary algorithm out of necessity for secrecy.
5. We want to make sure the counting of the votes happens offline to eliminate the scope for manipulation
6. Vote data is encrypted and validated with it's signature to make sure it is not tampered with.
7. We are also making sure that the keys are rotated periodically.
8. We can guarantee that the collected information statistics are accurate.

I hope we have answered your questions. Please feel free to raise your concerns. If you want to take the conversation further you can email us at hi@voteism.org
for some reason, i feel like software has followed a similar tragectory...

Yes, and now it is considered healthy for the Swiss to drink masses of beer ("in Maßen" vs. "in Massen") and if you have to pay a fine, you apparently have to pay in buses ("Buße" vs. "Busse"). I could never understand why Swiss Standard German went for a ß -> ss substitution, and not for a ß -> sz substitution, which would've avoided this particular mess and would've also been historically more correct. Now you have to teach children in school that a vocal before a double s is short, but only of the double s was not originally a ß which was originally an sz, so not a double consonant at all. Simple!
It's crazy how rare it's become to see an RSS link on websites that actually have it if you add /feed or /feed.xml to the url.

I have to wonder how much more dead RSS would be if Wordpress (like, 90% of blogs/news sites) didn't create a /feed by default.

Oh right ok that's it - in my country you absolutely can't assume this so everyone is careful at all low-looking bridges.

Here's the thing: why should anyone trust that you will actually honor this 3-day money back guarantee, or that even if you honor it now that you will continue to honor it in the future? Part of the benefit of the App Store payment system is that it puts the user in control of their trials and subscriptions and lets them easily manage, cancel, and request refunds in a way that is guaranteed. But if your refund form magically disappeared one day, no one would have any recourse against that.
Thanks for commenting. If you are concerned that our signature is over candidate name or ID, we don't do that. We sign the encrypted vote and not the plain text. We verify it on the air-gapped system.

That’s why the pronunciation of “an history” is such a contentious issue in British political linguistics to this day. Crucially, as has been observed correctly, the rule is that one should use the appropriate indefinite article. That in turn depends on whether one pronounces, as pirates, or has a silent ‘h’, revealing one’s origins even once the guise of Received Pronunciation had been defensively adopted.
A thought of mine a core part of totalitarianism, pick a flavor they are all the same in this. Is that they seek to callously use humanity as material to manufacture some ego driven utopia. That is at the heart of modernist architecture. People are expected to conform to the vision not the other way around.
I learned of Fraidycat in an RSS related HN comment yesterday and have been trying it out. Love some of the homemade quirkiness that I forgot software used to have -- the video is great too.

Only question I have: do you really have to assign every Github issue to yourself, the sole developer? Something about it cracks me up: https://github.com/kickscondor/fraidycat/issues

> "Thanks for the bug report. Fortunately for you, our best man is on the job!"

> kickscondor has assigned the issue to kickscondor

Anyways, just playing. Great product and great shepherding of the Github project.
Complex I is bypassed during high intensity exercise
I’ve worked as a developer since 1985 and been very happy at every job. Finding a tiny company where you can work on interesting problems will put more “happiness under the curve” than trying to suffer now so you can retire early.

Many languages have pluggable GCs. Modern Java VMs have at least four (serial, parallel, CMS, G1). As long as they are interchangeable, it's not really a language design issue.

I’d say they weren’t doing what I suggested (that could still mean my advice is bad).

Before they actually started climbing the rock, they had to do a bunch of other stuff. They at least got their hands on some gear, probably drove and hiked. And this is partly what gets them into trouble.

Fooling yourself into doing something unsafe generally requires a bit of work. I think there’s a safety in doing what’s immediately around you. For most people, it would be really hard to kill themselves rock climbing in the next 15 minutes, but very easy to do it next weekend.

My hope for someone doing what I suggest would be something like “I’m gonna go hang from that pull-up bar / low beam / jungle gym on and off for 5 minutes.” Then they research how to actually start rock climbing safely.
Yes, you are right. I should have said «..."ough" at the end of a word hints heavily ...»

Ask HN: Is remote work here forever?
My company has done what appears to be the standard for the non-faang company WFH until the end of the year.

My city has decided to build a road through my backyard, making me want to move. I have the gamble a bit, so looking for everyone’s opinions.

Has WFH hit the tipping point where it’s just the new normal, or should I expect to still need to remain in the Bay Area?
The upgrade problem is something that google created with android devices being stuck on old kernels, now they're trying to paper over that mess by moving things to userspace. That may solve this particular problem but it creates a new maintenance nightmare with hundreds of different applications bringing their own congestion control and different transport implementation on top of dozens of differnet TLS libraries.
It seems like a little more patience and ensuring that devices remain upgradable could give us most of the advancements without the downsides.
Likewise unsafe Rust has null pointers, but I've never needed it or seen it used. (Same with Haskell).

You just mentioned using "nil" in a simple example which doesn't appear to be related to systems programming.
Policing the language, unfortunately, does not bring change to the situation. Everyone who has lived in a totalitarian state knows this.

I mean.. have you seen what has happened to rents at the same time? The core problem is that housing costs way too much here. Obviously more people are going to become homeless when rent prices increase by 20% per year, and obviously it is going to cost more to service homeless people when the prevailing rent has increased as much as it has. None of these things are mysteries.

The problem is, for many people (and now leaving the specific example) this sort of info is what they would and should look up at first.

In hindsight you may think you overthought something and should have just started earlier but maybe you really weren't ready.

Again, don't overdo it. Do something real, look up a simple beginner way to do it, research it for 1 hour or 1 day, then stick to that simple beginner way for some time. The point is to do that thing and not get bogged down by details and researching the tiny things that only matter to the elite expert.

Also, you have to accept some risks. You'll never be fully prepared. You may hurt your ankle by running too much, but it most likely won't be permanent and you learned a lesson.
Thanks so much for that! It's been fixed.
Apple's Bad Week
It's much lower than most bridges in the US so truckers not used to thinking about their height because they're below the height of most bridges can get caught. Add to that many of these crashes are in rental trucks so you have people even less used to having to think about the height of their vehicle encountering this abnormally low bridge.
You personally may not be motivated by preventing the starvation of your homeless neighbors, but I think you speak too broadly. Especially if you think current military funding is a more important struggle. (Is China the bad guy now we need to defeat? Or are we still focused on the Middle East, I can never keep up).
Not exactly HN format, but there are some forums, to name a few: pilotsofamerica.com, and beechtalk.com (requires sign-in and real names).

Another good one is Matt Guthmiller, an MIT grad who flew a Bonanza around the world when he was 19 (although he didn't get that on youtube).

>Gassée is certainly correct that Aquarius likely played a historical precursor to Apple’s current processor ambitions, but it likely also played an indirect role in its first major processor shift—that from Motorola’s 68000 series of processors used in the Apple Macintosh of the time, to the PowerPC, which eventually took off in a big way in the 1990s.

Hey, Apple's first major processor shift was from 6502 to 68000!

Find the top causes of mortality in your area and then try to improve your risk factors for those

Get all of the available recommended vaccinations for diseases that are endemic in your area, including boosters on the recommended schedules; if it's available, always get a seasonal flu shot every year; also try to get vaccinated for pneumonia (reducing your risk of serious complications from other respiratory illnesses); get other people who live in the same household with you to get vaccinated too

If you need complex non-emergency medical care, seek it in a different country with a more advanced medical system

Try to mitigate exposure to major causes of mortality and morbidity (air pollution, contaminated water, contaminated food, violence); try to ensure that you personally live in a building with adequate ventilation, water supply, sanitation, and physical security; if your water quality is questionable, consider filtering and/or treating tap water somehow before using it for bathing or dishwashing (not just drinking)

Don't eat raw or undercooked food of any type that has a history of contamination in your area; don't wash food with water of uncertain quality

If you have any influence with any level of government, try to get them to improve sanitation (sewage, street cleaning, trash collection), air quality, water quality, and food safety inspection procedures in your area

Take exposure precautions when there is an epidemic or outbreak of contagious disease (like right now with COVID-19, but also during future outbreaks of other pathogens) -- hand sanitizer, hand washing, wearing a mask, reducing your physical contact with others, avoiding crowded areas

Find screenings for diseases that increase your risk of death (diabetes, high blood pressure, heart and lung diseases, cancers) and repeat the screenings periodically; consider getting simple devices that would let you monitor indicators for some of these at home (e.g. a blood pressure monitor)

Try to maintain and improve your fitness, nutrition, and mental health

Maintain a good social support system (family, friends, religious communities)
You can both disagree with petty laws for minor violations and still want prohibitions against theft or public disturbances enforced in your neighborhood.
It does look fairly discordant and messy, and I'm not sure if I'd like to try navigating the structure, but there is a symmetry and level of detail that goes above and beyond the typical vision of a concrete cube that the word "brutalism" conjurs. From the top it looks really nice with the floor detail and the incorporated plantlife and greenery.

Its perhaps too large of a building for my liking, and it feels a little bit "minecraft" with seemingly unsupported cubic shapes, but it also has a nice focus on human scale details that make it actually interesting to be in and around.
>For the same reasons that you need to go to an artisinal bakery to get handmade bread today, you cannot get anything with significant ornament in it without paying enormously.

The 'bread' you get in the Anglosphere is a crime against humanity. Not because it is machine made, but because it comes with a philosophy: looks matter more than taste.

Meanwhile Eastern Europe still uses the old soviet factory bread and the thing tastes like manna when you get it fresh.
We're now down to 'but there is too much enduring value in religion - ever to think of abandoning it cold.'

Is there too much enduring value in human sacrifice, to ever think of abandoning it cold? Or maybe slavery? What about cannibalism, can we abandon cannibalism cold?

It's not even an argument, it's an opinion that's trying to sneak in 'enduring value' to justify its position. Guess what, I can sneak 'enduring value' into anything that's been done for long periods of time - there has to be something other than a historical narrative or personal preference, for us to make decisions regarding value collectively.

> All three contemporary writers want to get rid of religion immediately and with no remainder.

Why is it that I feel safe to bet a billion dollars that Sam Harris is well aware of the many positive aspects of religion and wouldn't want to get rid of them with 'no remainder'? Oh, maybe it's because he's said so verbatim, ad nauseum?

I wish journalists would either do their job and actually contact the people whose stances they wish to portray to confirm that they're portraying them accurately, or simply stick to their usual tactics of cherry picking dead people's writings to prop up their agenda, which is what this author does with Freud.

---

The gap of not being able to take religion seriously, and yet wanting to have a uniting narrative to guide us, is what Nietzshe has pointed out almost 150 years ago (God is dead). It has since been coined 'nihilism'.

It's been almost 150 years and no one has come up and been able to popularize a post-religion narrative that would appeal across country borders. We've been stuck with nationalist dogma of Hitler, Lenin, Stalin, Mao and many others.

I don't know if it's because only those seeking political power bother to articulate powerful narratives, or because we've simply hit upon a limit of the average human, or what the deal is. Could it be that a narrative of being respectful towards all races and creeds is only something people can tolerate, but not ever something they can rally behind and be energized about?

I don't know, and nobody that I'm aware of has touched this subject - it would have to be somebody who is financially independent, highly intelligent and compassionate. If there is such a person, I'd like to know who it is because given that there are billions of us, I figure at least one of us has some compelling ideas on these topics.

Sandboxing doesn't really mitigate much of the issue. Apps often need access to shared storage as well as contacts etc. Even if they don't need access to what really should be private, they'll ask for it. And as we've trained a generation of Windows users to do, they'll grant access. Then we have privacy breaches, or tracking issues etc etc. The OS on the mobile device may be fine, but your data won't be.

It's not, nobody is changing their mind. There were some efforts to reserve masks for front line medical workers. That muddied the issue, but masks protect you from spreading a sickness you may now know you have and provide a minimal amount of protection from catching covid-19.

Kopi is more broad, it's primarily about handing out burner addresses after you create a "forwarder". You don't have to visit Kopi each time you want to use a new address. You can reply to messages sent via a forwarder, but the sender still won't know your real address. You can block individual burner address with a single click if a sender leaks it / starts abusing it.
on a related note, walls of text are not particularly attractive. i'd suggest using a rule-of-3: sub-divide any sections longer than 3 paragraphs using sub-headers.

it also helps to sharpen the main throughline, and leave tangents in asides, tables/diagrams, footnotes, links, and similar (possibly even a popup in the right circumstance, like a definitional aside).
Yes, I can see the difference, but I (personally) don't notice that difference while reading. I do notice a big difference when using older monitors with lower DPI compared with 1080p on a normal-sized desk monitor, however.
