Kind of feels like focusing on the well-proven science behind limiting spread of infection is more useful than acknowledging that sometimes you can do nothing and get lucky.
When asked about how to be a good writer, Terry Pratchett offered tips on boxing:

“A good diet is essential, of course, as is a daily regime of exercise. Pay attention to your footwork, it will often get you into trouble. Go down to the gym every day – every day of your life that finds you waking up capable of standing. Take every opportunity to watch a good professional fight. In fact watch as many bouts as you can, because you can even learn something from the fighters who get it wrong. Don’t listen to what they say, watch what they do. And don’t forget the diet and the exercise and the roadwork.

Got it? Well, becoming a writer is basically exactly the same thing, except that it isn’t about boxing.”
And thus the presumably unstoppable forces meets the immovable object.
One have to put things in prerspective. It took 40-50 years for the silicon valley to become what is is today. Once there are enough tech presence in Canada, tech situation would improve. There would be ample amount of tech folks, and new innovations would come along. New companies would be founded and things would be at par, or even better. Anyhow I see, US heading towards political turmoil/instability.
I did the same for my Grandfather, with his Punjabi accent, and a Jamaican cashier.
Do those represent a "rapid accumulation of features" that create an "ever-increasing scope of the language" as the OP claims, or are they just tuning options? Keep in mind the Nim team didn't create the Boehm or Go garbage collectors, and the new arc/orc are the same, with orc having a cycle detector. If anything, it's a testament to the design and stability of the language that the GC algorithm is swappable.

Edit: for comparison, Java has four different GC algorithms to choose from[1] with a whole lot of options for tuning[2]:

I don't understand what you're saying here, sorry. It seems self-contradictory. In any case, once the climber has been stopped for questioning, the ranger has to make a judgment call that he/she definitely isn't qualified to make. "Hmm. This guy says he's pretty sure he can make it to the top of El Capitan without any gear. Should I let him try?"

What do you think the ranger's most likely response is going to be, assuming that they have a basic sense of morality, that they like their job and want to keep it, and that they don't enjoy cleaning up after fatal mishaps?

(Difficulty: the climber is in good shape and knows what he's doing, but he isn't Honnold. He actually is a suicidal person. Now, did your ranger make the right call?)
> even the "new new" one (there was basically a version 2.1 minor update)

As far as I remember, the update to the update was only about allowing some old forms as valid alternates. Which I like very much. I'm mostly on board with the new style (partly based on upbringing, partly because it makes much more sense), but you'll never see me write "Portmonee".

That may very well be the case. But for someone paying 0% tax in Ireland, 0€ on insulin is an even better deal.
Being able to write functions doesn’t make a language functional. The hallmark of functional programming is closures as first-class objects, passed as arguments or returned from other functions.

The nearest Excel equivalent would be constructing a formula string for later evaluation, which is far from the same thing. If you wanted to perform lambda calculus in Excel you’d end up implementing your own functional programming language in VBA. Have fun with that :-)
The trouble with 11foot8 in particular is that it’s right on the intersection, so through traffic passing by the bridge without going under it would hit the chains as well.
Apple recurring: 30% year one, 15% years two and beyond

Actually, the opposite is true. The ornamentation of the past was painfully and time consumingly created manually. It is trivial today to mass-produce ornamentation - a simple form insert into a concrete form can create any desired ornamentation. Frank Lloyd Wright is a key example of using ornamentation within the context of modern construction techniques and materials, his concrete block houses a classic example of both with the Hotel Biltmore in Arizona a masterpiece example of it. The key issue is not cost, it is philosophy. The architect striving to present their view of the world. For Wright, his work focuses around the human experience, around human scale, all ornament reinforcing that his buildings are to be measured by our experience of and relation to them. Many of the more grotesque examples of modern architecture are by architects who believe the world is chaos, in flux, that humans have no place in the world, etc.

[Footnote on Wright] If you happen to be taller than 5'8 when visiting a Wright building (like myself), bend your knees until you are at that eye-level to appreciate the full experience. https://wrightchat.savewright.org/viewtopic.php?t=8915
Right-click in firefox and "save image". Drop it in /tmp so it gets nuked on next reboot (tmpfs yay). Pick your favorite barcode reader tool; I ended up deciding on `zbar-tools` based on... not honestly that much research. Invoke `zbarimg /tmp/qr.png`. It'll spit out the TOTP URI.

Verifying that I did it right: I manually enter the secret into a tool that can produce TOTP codes and verify that Google Authenticator and my backup are producing the same one-time passwords.

The idea is to pass through automated resume scanners by dumping keywords that the ATS may auto reject you for not otherwise having. However since its white they wont be visibile to a human eye if someone were to print it off unmodifed.
Now that you mention it - this makes an open source device such as this interesting. Make it go through your own self-hosted proxy, which renders the page to and sends over something suitable for the ereader. Like Opera Mini if anyone remembers. I think calibre has features that can be used as a foundation to build on.
You are entirely correct! It just strikes me as a bit, well, fascist to dub people who are (at least claiming to be) in opposition to fascism fascists. Especially considering most "Antifa" in practice are exactly what they profess to be. These aren't some big mean ol' terrorists, these are often young people who play video games on the weekends and talk to their friends on Instagram.

The point is not to avoid damaging the trucks, it is to prevent the trucks damaging the bridge behind the barrier.
> For example, Christopher McCandless dove head-first into the real thing (that is, surviving without help in the Alaskan wilderness), without proper preparation and training, and died.

He didn't go straight from normal life to Alaskan wilderness though. He spent a good bit of time traveling and being homeless. If anything, he was in the uncanny valley of being skilled at most aspects of living in the wildnerness, but unaware of the specifics of being in Alaska and how the environment would change between seasons.
Here the right hand lane is up to truck standards and if it isn't it is very clearly marked as such, I wouldn't even know of a road that isn't explicitly closed for trucks that you could not take an 18 wheeler on.

But - and this is the crucial bit - the main distinguishing factor between what is a truck and what counts as a van is different in Europe than in the US/Canada. In the US/Canada on my normal 'lightweight' license I can drive a 10 ton truck, in Europe I'm limited to 3500 KG which puts an automatic limit on the size vehicle, a typical sprinter or boxvan would not be higher than 3.5 meters and everybody else will need a class 'C' driving license at a minimum and once you pass that you shouldn't need to be taught about vehicle height any more. There is a loophole called a BE trailer but those are very rare and the people that drive them tend to know their limitations.

Even so there are plenty of professional drivers in those crash videos that fall for it just the same. I'll give the rental van drivers a pass as long as they cross on the green light and they're only a few inches high. Usually the height of the truck will vary by that much just based on acceleration / deceleration and angle of the 5th wheel hitch if it has one as well as the angle of the road approaching the barrier and the length of the vehicle. If you measure the vehicle while stationary on flat ground you might think you can get away with it when you really can't.

Go for a run. One. Then you start doing the thinking cycle the comment I replied to was talking about.

It shouldn’t even be a long one. I said “go run for a bit”. If it hurts at all, stop. Don’t do things that you think are dangerous. If you can’t run or aren’t sure if you should, then just walk. Maybe I should refine my advice to “do whatever is closest to the ultimate thing, that you can safely do right now”.
I'd expect to be using the equivalent of page-up/page-down buttons to scroll through sites.

I wouldn't expect to be typing on it—but, I've absolutely seen e-ink screens that can refresh quickly enough for typing. They start artifacting a bit when you force them to refresh quickly—which lessens the contrast advantage—but then they fix themselves once the screen has a moment to "refresh" itself.

It seems like proposing both a spelling reform and a script reform at the same time is doomed to failure. It's a fun experiment but if one is serious about proposing a pragmatic reform of English spelling, stick to the Latin alphabet and maybe add a few diacritics if you really need to. Can you imagine the insane amount of churn changing to a completely different script would create?

Gonna learn to lift? Read starting strength. Set yourself up for success by structuring an environment for habit formation. Take the steps to ensure you are getting good nutrition before you start. Don’t just run to the local gym and staring trying to mess around in the squat rack.

Going to build a new app? Get up to date on tech stack choices so you don’t make a dumb decision. Look at prior art and understand the work that has come before you can learn from.

Trying to learn a new skill? Do some research to find out what the best, most high quality resources there are first. Determine what level of mastery you’ll be happy with before diving in unprepared to know how to assess opportunity costs, which can

This doesn’t mean get stuck in analysis paralysis. I feel pretty strongly those who give advice like the advice you mention do not think it’s possible to avoid this obvious trap. It is if you are disciplined and have enough self awareness to know when you have hit the point of diminishing returns. Literally one day of focused thinking can outflank a week or more of pointless execution, even at the beginning. Thinking is underrated, execution without preparation is overrated. The most effective people know how to prepare the mind for execution and not get bogged down doing so. Taking an immediate first step can lead to a bad first impression: a bad lift, a mess of a prototype, or a garbage online course. That can be hard to unwind, since it forms busted initial mental models - and can undermine long term success. There is no hard rule, but aversion to pre-emptive research and analysis is an anti pattern unless you know yourself to be unable to do so.
That's not true I am afraid. Turkish borrows majority of it's vocabulary from Arabic, Persian, French and English. Wovels in those loan words never match the sounds. For example the word "hala" can either mean "aunt" or "still" depending on how long you sound the first a.
Correct. So putting your TOTP codes in your password manager is no less safe than using the password manager in isolation, and likely substantially more safe, because it requires attackers to compromise your password manager in totality (which should be itself behind 2FA) rather than just phishing an individual password.
You must have thought it was just a figment of your imagination, eh?

If this is humor it really got me.

Because software development in the real world is hard. Hard computer science is hard. We're still in the infancy of the profession and have a long ways to go. I could honestly see it comparable to bridge building or rocket science.

> That's what the big yellow beam is; it was installed to protect the bridge.

Yes, that one protects the bridge - what I'm talking about is a 'warning' bumper, that you can run into, but won't damage the vehicle (as others' comments here have mentioned). It would be put up further up ahead of the bridge itself (not at the bridge). Something like this:

It's amazing how little planning there is for when an IoT server goes down.

It's out of warranty, isn't it? Sounds like flawless planning to me.

I mean, seriously. What incentive could a company possibly have to keep those servers running five minutes after the last product shipped goes out of support? Sure, you'll get mad and swear to buy your next IoT widget from some other company. But that company will do the same thing, because they have exactly the same incentives.

This will have to be fixed legislatively... and as a liberty-minded kind of guy, I'm truly depressed by how often I find myself typing those words these days.
Nice, that's a good model. I have a lot of coworkers with the same setup and dreading the upgrade (mostly because of the touchbar).
I think this example is far-fetched and, due to being so far-fetched, is useless. I mean there are no actual english words where "gh" at the beginning of a word would be pronounced as "f", right? And "gh" at the end of a word hints heavily that you should pronounce it as "f", there are no irregularities here.

Immunity to Covid-19 may wane just 2-3 months after infection, study suggests
Note people aren't running reds here necessarily. A system detects a tall vehicle moving towards the bridge & times a red light. They stop, & during that time they might notice that the bridge is low & there's a sign telling them the max height. Some don't notice, & when the light goes green they drive on under
Yes maybe once upon a time but it doesn't explain why people say "an historic" today.
If by a country we mean states, college is at least partially publicly funded in the US and outside generally. If by a country we mean expenditures by the citizenry, definitely true that college is an investment of time and money by the students.

A doctor leaves college maybe with 500k dollars in debt in the US, doctors in most other countries graduate with little or no debt at all: you could import thousands if not 100's of thousands of doctors willing to work a fraction of the current doctor's rate, thus making it cheaper for patients.

Which money? I fear this is the broken window fallacy Bastiat liked to talk about.

Found this story via RSS, and once again I find myself surprised that there are nerds out there that read HN but do so through the Olde Timey expedient of going to the home page.

I'd say 95% of my content discovery comes from RSS; the few sites that don't tend to be high volume sites - like news - where I get value from visiting the home page to see how editors have prioritised stories.

Hospitals are terrifically dangerous places for sick people. That and the cost of bed occupancy are the primary reasons that convalescence mostly happens at home.
Are the drone's airbags deployed on impact like a car's? If that's the case, it's not protecting people it could hit because it's already hit them at that point.

Is the idea that it has some kind of collision detection system and deploys them in advance of the collision?

Edit: Did a quick search, I see now that one of the ideas is that it auto-deploys in case of malfunction that is likely to lead to a crash.
What's the difference between working on the hardware of a computer or the software that it makes sense to have one outside of the US and another one inside?
You are correct, in Europe where there are literal fascists, antifa fights them. In the USA antifa is mainly a protest group against the republican party.

These are not the same class of target although they share the same name by those in the group. The definition of fascism is key to the identity of antifa.
Sorry, I had interpreted the rules differently. I also didn't know it was irritating.

Scots is not technically the same as English - they diverged about 900 years ago, and differences like ken are common (compare to French connaître, or German kennen).
Agreed. I've used their devices since the Pocketbook 360 days (5" screen with a hard cover - features that were uncommon).

It eventually stopped working this year, and a new review of the market place suggested they're one of the better options - so I picked up the HD3.

I can not understand how anyone could accept a vendor (especially one like Amazon) limiting or remote controlling my device's contents.
I just logged into NextDoor today after years of inactivity because I wanted to see if there were resources about how to dispose of bulky trash items.

Wow, what a mess! Standard lost dog fare, but also a lot of busybodies nitpicking about neighbors' municipal code violations, suspicions of people who don't look like they "fit" the neighborhood, and general bickering in every comment thread.

NextDoor seems like a good idea, until you execute and it turns out the power users are busybodies holed up at home who have way too much time to micromanage the goings-on in their neighborhoods.
My employer has locations all over the world and provide services to our customers. Some of these are AWS customers as well and depends on a small edge compute that they control and knows is compliant with this and that.

The point about spreading out horizontally is factually incorrect. Much like the natural limit to building height is floor plate dedicated to elevator shafts, the natural limit to sprawl is roads and traffic. In general we have a lot of unused vertical space, but not a whole lot of spare roadway.
Modern atchitecture is the expression of an artist pushing the limit of building as an art. If, like me, you are not educated to it this can be difficult to enjoy.
Take the someone not specially versed into art to the museum, it's likely they will enjoy and value more Vermeer than let's say Pollock.

Should we design buildings, that people use and see everyday, only for an elite to appreciate it ? I don't have the answer.

This is the SF housing project's self-defense argument. But the budget has doubled and homelessness has increased. It's also a sorry defense of the city gov to say that such a small city actually has much higher homelessness numbers that are masked by ludicrous spending.
My takeaway from this is to always try for the thing that is just out of reach.

Doing what's comfortable isn't going to lead to growth. At the same time, as others in this thread say, doing things that are radically out of reach is too likely to fail without a good foundation.

Learning is in the struggle, so find something that is a little harder than you think you can handle.
