From what I remember, it was more like if you made it past adolescence, making it to 50 was about normal. All kind of beside the point; you seemingly rejected the relevance of the primitive human diet based on their life expectancy. I don't think that follows.
Yes. Just like I chose to buy a Mac knowing I couldn’t run Windows software.
Make sure you do negative reviews on FB/Gmaps.

I feel this is one of the great beauties of the internet. It's so much harder for companies to hide behind branding when they display bad behaviours.
That's an accent thing. In some places the "h" is silent, and in other places it's not.
I'm a t1dm, have been for >9y. I'm been doing keto for 6-7, intermittent fasting / one-meal-a-day for 2.5, carnivore for 1.5. Nonetheless, I started with all that jazz post-honeymoon. I take insulin, and I don't believe a 'cure' is ever the right word with regard some more complicated diseases. Treating symptoms != cure.

A lady from Hungary (interview in [1]) and her team have published studies[2] about several cases of newly diagnosed type-one diabetics fulling forgoing(!) insulin medication, or any medication for that matter, for relatively long periods (1-1.5y, I believe she said in the interview), given they strictly fow the diet- it being a very low carbohydrate one. One had not followed, relapsed into carbs 2-3w into it and he had to go back to insulin. It's no long-term study, but it's better than nothing, and from my acquaintances, and online readings, @1.5y honeymoon phase should have fizzled out.

Anyways, the initial period seems to be crucial, a lot of research focuses on what can be done then, and the one's who've had it some time [3]. Lowering insulin is one thing, the other benefits are major too- stable, predictable bg levels forever; better mood, energy; restriction diets help you notice what exactly might have previously you bloated, gassy, get heartburn, mouth dryness, etc.; yadda yadda. The bald puerorican biochemis from [4] gives rather slowly the details of how a pure carb diet would work - his ins/carb ratio was something insane-, of both of them, really-, like ~1/26. Compare with my ~1/1.7

The interviewer is a bit annoying, but I can't remember off the top of my head of other sources, so apologies.

“Apple would talk about the "MHz-myth" a lot. While it's true that MHz doesn't equal performance, Intel was doubling the PowerPC's performance most of the time. The G3 saw Apple do OK, but then Intel went back to dominating in short order. The PowerPC never matched Intel again.
It was really bad. People with Windows computers just had processors that were so much more powerful and so much cheaper.”

Don’t know how much I would agree with that. I just took a look at the Megahertz Myth portion of the 2001 Macworld Expo video¹ where Apple compares an 867 MHz G4 processor with a 1.7 GHz Pentium 4 processor, and while I don’t know how valid Apple’s argument is in that video (don’t know enough about how processors work to judge), from the information they give, it does seem plausible that the 867 MHz G4 could outperform the 1.7 GHz Pentium 4 in some scenarios. Frequency certainly isn’t everything, especially when we’re comparing two different CPU architectures.

This is a somewhat aggressive distortion of my words. I was merely referring to the fact that forcing the use of incorrect English will not help in the current situation of gender imbalance. And a reference to the "unconscious bias in our field" in the parent comment needs concrete citations and evidence to be of value to the discussion.

How I truly wish there were more women in the field! But very few choose that profession, unfortunately. That is sad... I am not ready, however, to speculate about the reasons, since I don't have enough information.

That is the reason for the reference to oppressive regimes - only there do people cripple the language to keep everything neutral and soulless, and only there do people make unverified assertions about non-existent enemies and conspirators.
Is there a Hacker News about parenting? I am looking for a community with similar social norms to HN, but parenting-related content.

I'm, it makes the problem better because the patronage cancels out. The problem was never patronage in the absolute.
Substructural Type System
> I live in Houston, where we don't have zoning, yet it's specifically cited (and I can confirm) that the vast majority of residents live in suburbs.

Houston doesn't have explicit zoning, which is true, but this doesn't mean that it's necessarily any easier to build dense housing if that's what the market demands.

- Deed restrictions effectively work as zoning by limiting what a given parcel can't be developed into, and they are city enforced; this restricts dense development, particularly in wealthy, high-amenity, high-convenience neighborhoods that might otherwise be more densely developed by natural forces.

- While Houston does not prohibit land uses anywhere, it does mandate a minimum amount of parking for various types of land uses and lot sizes. Mandated parking will drive up the cost of dense development because the minimums are set very high, and it means you either have to give over valuable floor space for parking, you have to build very expensive underground or structured parking, or a combination of the two. By indirectly driving up the cost of dense development, minimum parking regulations makes less of it pencil out.

If dense living was not in demand and undersupplied (which I believe it is), dense apartments would not fetch more per sq ft than a house in a low density suburb, at least not successfully.
This is my experience also - I was moving flat and already had sorted internet with a different provider, so there wasn’t really much budging. The operator did try and ask me if I wanted to refer the new tenants of our soon-to-be flat up with Virgin, or if I had any friends who would like to switch and I’m like lol no.
> After waiting for 30mins I finally got connected to a human on the other side. They tried pressure sales tactics to get me to continue with the service even though I made it clear that I did not need their service anymore. The call itself took about 30 minutes. This is such an egregious waste of my time just to cancel a frickin subscription.

This brings back memories of one of my first jobs. I worked for a call center outsourcing company doing overnight tech support for a nationwide ISP that would advise you when you received mail. One of the things we did was to dump all calls into the same call queue after 2am in my time zone so the first four hours of my shift were normal technical support calls and the last six hours were everything, including billing.

The contract owners in Virginia were very motivated that we continue the heavy-handed "retention" efforts even in the generalist phone queue. I remember one script we were given for cancellations ran to fifteen pages, including notes and policies.

But one of the myriad nice things about working in the middle of the night is there are no managers around to give a shit and the on-shift Quality Assurance rep was an employee of my call center company, not of the big ISP like on other shifts, and the overnight QA people officially gave zero shits. If anyone wound up in the all-purpose queue asking to cancel, we'd all do it with minimal hassle because we hated the process as much as the soon-to-be-ex-customers.

(When Virginia rolled out new policies to "verify" script compliance, like flagging cancellations made on calls with a handle time under ten minutes--which is saying something in itself--we'd just put the customer on hold for 12 minutes to "process the cancellation" and go on a free break.)

I was a big iPad user, I bought 1, 2, and 3 and used it a lot to read, mostly comics via Comixology. Then, Amazon bought Comixology and refused to pay the 30% Apple tax and it became very hard to buy digital comics. So I stopped using my iPad and never bothered to buy a new one.

In the end I won: I get to keep the $150 I was impulse-spending in digital comics, and saved thousands of dollars I would've spent on iPads otherwise.
You’re entry level. This is expected.

Ask your manager to set explicit expectations. Ask them what you should do if you find yourself struggling with any of those expectations. Take it from there.

I believe they offer all of them on the open reach network. Simple ADSL, Fibre to cabinet, Fibre to premise and now G.Fast, which is on the order of 100Mbps-1Gbps speeds.

Edit: to clarify, I'm saying they don't singularly operate on the copper ADSL component of the open reach network.
And a magnetic bowl! So handy.

No the costs of hosting the data is not the reason they hide it.
Apple uses Torx screws, as do several other products.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torx
(disclaimer, I'm a current customer and have been for a decade+)

They're expensive, they have a data cap (but it's generous), and don't currently offer the higher g.fast or FTTP speeds, but:

- the support is consistently excellent and no-nonsense, and there's no upselling or questionable sales tactics

- phone calls are usually answered within seconds by someone who can actually help and doesn't just have a script, and they'll even give support over IRC if you want

- easy access to extra fixed v4 and v6

- they support the Open Rights Group, and have a clear stance against internet censorship

I've been a customer for over a decade now, and I still have no intention of leaving. Good CS on the odd occasion I need it more than makes up for the cost for me.

Only thing I'd love to see is access to faster FTTP speeds (330/50)!

It's not just a "massive drop in income"; if you get fired/laid off or want to leave your H1B job, you have 60 days to leave the country or find a new H1B job (which might not be so easy with quotas & applications etc).
I agree that having a house downtown is a nice way to live. And there are plenty of great cities in the US where houses close to downtown are affordable to the middle class. But a small, semi-detached house doesn't sound like medium density to me. That's only an option in a city where not everyone wants to live downtown (areas where people prefer the suburbs), or if you have enough money to outbid everyone else who wants that house.

> The UK broadband is in such an appalling state, that if you want better than ADSL you have to subject yourself to humiliation

Agreed, it is terrible. I ended up going with an enterprise-grade leased line that costs ~400£/month because that was the only choice besides Virgin, but honestly I'd rather be paying that much and know it pays fair wages to honest people then pay less but having it go in scammers' pockets.

Thankfully in London there is Hyperoptic and G.Network who offer real fibre (none of this fake fibre DSL or cable bullshit) at an affordable price (~50/month) so I'll switch to them as soon as they become available.
CNBC sure had to stretch that definition pretty darn far to get to "more than half," didn't they.

In any case, immigration is the least upsetting globalization policy IMO: it is exactly what it says on the tin, almost everyone agrees that too little or too much is bad, and the amount can be tuned using quotas. H1B, however, is not that. It pretends to be about scarce skillsets (which enter this calculation one way) when it's actually usually about standard skillsets (which enter the calculation in another). Further, it suppresses the bargaining ability of the people subjected to it, depressing wages for both them those they compete with. Worse still is "regulatory arbitrage" where low tariffs encourage companies to bypass environmental, safety, and labor regulation by shipping manufacturing (or what have you) overseas. I prefer immigration to both H1Bs and regulatory arbitrage, and not by a small margin.

As a more general point, exponential growth is one helluva drug and truly does create a "floats all boats" environment, but different economics apply once an economic sector plateaus. Those economics look much closer to zero-sum. Zero-growth = zero-sum. Low growth is low sum. That's why what happened to American manufacturing over the last 20 years is a good model for what happens to American software over the next 20, if we aren't careful.

We've had it good in software, but we're no longer in the phase where we can pretend the sigmoid is a neverending exponential.

Scots is not the same as Scottish English either. Words like "ken" in Scottish English are borrowed from Scots, but while the vast majority in Scotland speak Scottish English, only about 30% of the population can speak Scots.
Thats simple - they are cute, reasonably expensive and widely posable, opening many photography options. Their equipment is also largely unterchangeable, so the more you have, the more combinations you can get - often definitely unexpected by their authors. And lastly, they cover most of poular anime and games, so there is a good chance you can get your favorite character in a cute poseable form. :)

Mine is a little later than yours, a 2009 T400 (2x2.4ghz Core 2, 4GB RAM) - having a light weight distro (Trisquel) plus an SSD has meant that this thing still feels incredibly snappy on most things. Only 1080p video is a real stretch and even then it will just barely plow through it.

I live in NC. Judaism is more than just a religion. For many jews, it's part of their identity. That makes it different than going to clubs and bars or game dev events. It's a sense of exclusion that I feel at times, especially being in the bible belt.

I've never had any particularly anti-semitic things happen to me, just a few minor incidents. But anti-semitism still happens to jews, and that affects me. For example, after the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting a couple years ago, my temple had to hire an off-duty police officer during our high holiday services so that temple members would feel safe. I have family members who attended the Pittsburgh temple.

My mother experienced anti-semitism growing up in NJ that is part of her psyche to this day such that she's not comfortable wearing any jewish symbols.

This is nothing like the black experience, and I don't mean to say that it is. But it gives me some empathy for what it must feel like to be marginalized, to be different.

That is all I was trying to say.
InVision has its share of problems.

I'm disappointed in the lack of ability to easily control vectors using the alt key that all the other programs have

lacking in feature parity with figma, sketch <- strong point

Animation features are def a strong point but these and a few other gripes are why I use Figma.
Well geez. Unlike people, I happen to love contemporary architecture. I suppose that Christopher Alexander must feel sorry for me too. Maybe he could explain more clearly to my aesthetic sensibilities why his prosaic pattern language shouldn't leave me cold and empty.

In defense of the Montparnasse building, it has a good view from the top, because you see everything except for the Montparnasse building.
> I think there's at least 4 different brands within a 5 minute drive of my house.

And just like with ISPs, all of them are equally scummy, so it is indeed a monopoly/oligopoly of scumminess.

UK has fairly good consumer protection laws, in fact if you express your intent to cancel, they refuse for an invalid reason or ignore it and you cancel the payment and let the "debt" accumulate there isn't anything else they can do besides threatening letters, a black mark on your credit report (which can be removed with enough effort) or debt collectors (who are actually reasonable and will drop the matter once you explain the situation).

They could go to court, but they won't because 1) they know they are in the wrong and 2) it's not worth their time anyway. The mark on the credit report is pretty much the only leverage they have, and unfortunately it works due to most people either being afraid of it or actually relying on easy access to credit.

Sweet Jesus. That sponge building is hideous.

Reminds me a bit of the State Farm campus in Tempe, AZ. When I first walked there at night, I thought, Wow, this is gorgeous. And then I went during the day, and was blinded at every turn. All glass buildings are a nightmare.
I'm on FTTC and I'm getting 70Mbps down pretty much as standard.

That's throughout the day as well. Never noticed any issue with peak time usage.

Regularly get about 30ms ping when playing CS:GO.

If I could get FTTP, I would, but I think that was dependent on openreach.
I think that’s also valid...

What you’re describing is more or less what judgments_open does. I just did it with a context manager. But you’re right there are other ways to safely manage the files lifetime.

I also use this pattern for writing judgments, which has work to do when done judgments are all collected and the context exits.
I second that, extremely interested myself. Also if insights into board game design can be adapted in a software engineering setting.
heh yeah i get lots of "beware of this suspicious person" messages that turn out to be hte mail man on Next Door. However, it is very useful for lost pets. IMO they need to expand on that utility, i routinely see lost/found pet posts were the owner and pet are eventually re-united via Next Door.

I've given up on Linux due to many reasons, mostly because I need a reliable Laptop with a UNIX based OS where all my dev tools work! I recently downloaded Elementary OS for one of my old Thinkpads. I will give it a go then. Thanks. :)

Figma approaches design from an investors point of view.

Like most other web-SaaS tools, they aren't browser based because its better for the user. They sacrifice speed, native functionality, and usability for owning via server-side control over your wallet on a subscription plan.

HN thread from 2010, when this was first posted: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1027916
Are there powerful prototyping plugins for Figma? I'd love it if the answer is yes.

Axure is horrible for wireframing and a non-starter for visual design, but it has the most powerful prototyping features I've seen by a long shot. Framer is straight up writing React code, so I don't count that as an option for the vast majority of designers.
Over 50% of Toronto, at least, is born outside of Canada and even then immigrants were overrepresented in my CS cohort at Waterloo in 2014.

So it seems plausible -- but these aren't people cynically exploiting Canada as a hop on the way to the US, they're people who were born outside Canada but moved to Canada as children and grew up Canadian.
I have an FTTP line because there's no other choice. The connection fees were covered by the Gigabit Voucher Scheme which I believe is still around. It's only for businesses, however there is no requirement to actually be trading so you can very well set up a one-man company (12£ fee to companies' house) and then do it.

The voucher scheme covered it for 2,5k which is a bit steep but also not that expensive in the grand scheme of things if you own your property. The monthly fee is around 400/month (unlike consumer plans, those are negotiable, I negotiated mine down to 384/month including VAT).
Ask HN: Why do games usually reach higher FPS in full screen mode?
So here's how I think this fits into all the other different types of data serialization:

Schema-less, copying: Json (binary and other variants included), XML

Schema-less, zero-copy: Flexbuffers (Any others? This seems new to me)

No, that's just not true. Yes, we have the privilege of being white. But hate crimes still happen to Jews. America still caters to Christians.
Agreed, although I find a big disconnect between what I'm genuinely interested in and the start-up scene here in London/Europe and turned down a few startup offers ultimately for that reason. May be naive but with a visa but there is generally much more exciting opportunity (purely around startups) in US and SV in general - and the visa is what I'm missing and grad school would deliver.
Nextdoor just seems like another 1984 esq system especially because of their ties to the state through the Police. This will never be making its way into my home. It honestly astounds me that people buy into these things especially with potentially petty neighbors you're one bad day away from being the person who "doesn't belong" in the neighborhood.
Stop implementing them, and move to key & pin. Use backup keys instead of resets. Stop depending on email and SMS.
