> A bunch of my paddling friends recommended I try Strava. [...]

> The bad news is as I tried to create an account on Strava, all sorts of warning bells went off. The website is full of dark patterns, and when I clicked to deny Strava access to my health-related data, I was met with this tricky series dialog boxes

I noticed that most apps on the App Store all seem to want you to create an account. I get that that's how they primarily operate but I'm put off by it.

This might be a controversial opinion but I like that my runs with my Apple Watch are recorded in iOS on-device, without needing to use any of these third-party apps. And if you still want to share or even backup your runs, you can use apps like HealthFit¹ or RunGap² to export FIT files that contain GPS points and heart rate data, or export them directly via API to the service you want. If you _really_ want to DIY, you can write some scripts that extract them from the SQLite files in your iOS backups. But by default, everything is local only and you have the choice to do whatever you want with the data.

Think of it like alpha-beta pruning. You look through all the alternatives, and some will yield useful results, others will be useless so you can prune those and concentrate on the useful.
> So homelessness is literally killing people.

Correlation does not imply causality. I'm pretty sure that an individual's real estate portfolio doesn't play any role in the equation if they experience a health problem that they are unable to treat.

Lack of access to healthcare, that's available in pretty much all civilized nations, would do a whole lot of good to bump up life expectancy among the US's homeless population.
Shared inboxes are a security (and thus accountability) nightmare. I support anything which helps eliminate them.
I figure there's probably a name for this sort of comment (which appears a lot on Hacker News). Would it be "relative privation"?
I think my retirement project is to start a traditional bread bakery somewhere, with a coffee shop in the front of the house. Bakeries typically peak hours are 4-7am and then coffee shops are 6-9am with a steady trickle of business 9am-7pm.

You're right, to run a coffee shop you need a table, two chairs, a cash register and an espresso machine. While traveling I ran across a coffee shop in an outdoor market that was just a wood-fired espresso machine on a cart hauled around with a donkey. The donkey didn't look super happy but the owner looked like they were doing ok for themselves.
While I don't disagree the 'real' poor can choose the alternative and agree with GP, I think you also have a very fatalistic view of 3rd world poor. I have family living in the '3rd world' and even there the poor have phones. Sure they are 20 dollars, 10 year old models running android 5.0 or something, but they still check facebook and whatever. They aren't probably blogging but they also read websites/blogs
War or famine would likely speed up reaching that point, not slow it down. Nevertheless, grim Malthusian predictions have been made since the 1700s, and have yet to come to pass.

> I dont't really understand what point you are trying to make.

That the quality of NIT and IITs are decreasing. I have seen a lot of previous generation people who studied in IITs and have stellar achievements. But I don't think the same will be true for current crop of IIT and NIT students. To be clear, I won't be judging those people who are of my own generation, but this is a disappointment about how artificial the entry to these institutions has become. How many of them will be mechanically grinding leetcode as compared to their previous generation?

Increasingly so in recent years - the year I wrote JEE mains, the paper was much more susceptible to 'tricks' and 'shortcut formulae' taught by coaching institutions, than the previous years.

At this point, I have heard IIT professors expressing discontent about the coaching center crap. I don't know how you think it is still a fair game.

> I don't think there are any tier A colleges that takes money for accepting students. Probably explains why your batch had a lot of CS students who were not any good.

Fine, what defines tier A? I also mentioned lot of them with high state-level entrance exam scores are not "Good Enough", too.

In what I have seen, those people who do well in exams solely due to peer pressure and high expectations, don't very well understand the concepts. I have seen so many such book-worm topper kids not properly understanding recursion or algorithm complexity.
I see the opposite happening as well where the high reviewed restaurants can ride the wave of popularity for a pretty long time whilst reducing the portio sizer, replacing free drinks with high margin ones, replacing more expensive ingredients with cheaper alternatives, increasing the wait times before the new lower reviews start to propagate.

Yes, I'm aware of that and really excited! Although, after having lived in India for so long, I don't really mind the absence of accessibility (life in permanent hard mode here for wheelchair users), and it's not a key driving factor for me.
Are the mexican drug cartels able to manufacture LSD in scale and export cross-border?
People get literally murdered simply because they are homeless and for no other reason. Health problems that would be readily and easily treated if you were in housing turn into medical emergencies on the street.

I'm well aware that correlation does not imply causality. But I also know for a fact that homelessness helps shorten lifespans.

And in the US, even if it were the case that we simply dump our dying on the streets instead of providing hospice, that would be plenty atrocious right there. And we do, in fact, do a certain amount of that. But that's not the entire explanation for the statistic.
It's not a problem of amount of resources, it's how they're being used. Have you considered how much waste is produced daily, even just food waste? We all could be living luxuriously if we utilised efficient systems of food production and actually distributed food equally, as an example of just one small aspect.
Created this as a part of an experiment learning some tools like python, PHP, wordpress, Redis, Nginx and so many more.
That is true. I have bought several games and I don't even play that much. I don't know much about Pokemon. I read somewhere that when the Switch first came out it was just a Zelda machine. I've seen my colleagues play it at work. It looks great. I'll give it go then. I've been mostly playing Asphalt 9 recently.

Although I don't play much games, I like to read about them for some weird reason. I was browsing the eShop today and saw Crysis listed there. Isn't that notorious for being very heavy on computing resources? I wonder how that'd run on a portable device like Switch.

Well it’s a corona virus. We have four other corona viruses endemic in humans. So I think it’s ok to compare it to those others
The main problem with this blend of "liberating experiences" is that they are all fine and dandy when you're in your 20s and 30s.

When health concerns start to kick in and your ability to generate income is hampered by the fact that you've decided to pay no attention to your career then that's where the consequences of your decisions start to catch up with you.

It's like those hedonists who choose to spend their life up to their late 20s/early 30s chasing parties while either living off someone else or barely generating any income suddenly need to realize they are powerless to address their basic needs.

> This will probably be a very unpopular opinion

Not because of Bob Ross, but because it's based on the false premises of what is today (as in: last hundred years) considered and accepted as art.

In the previous and this century, not only the artist displayed objects that were extremely easy to produce, they were also able to display the objects even not produced by them as their art.

1917:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fountain_(Duchamp)

Not to mention that the "performance" and the items used in performances are also considered art.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Performance_art

A lot of text, articles, books, papers etc were written about all that during last 100 years.

Of course there are many experts and books evaluating some specific works and their "artistic value" but nobody can claim based on the arguments you gave that something has "close to zero artistic value."

A counterexample for the opinion of experts at the given point of time:

https://latimesblogs.latimes.com/culturemonster/2009/10/moma...

These works could have low current "market" value, but I don't think that was tested up to now.
The actual title is "Why did I just receive an ad for Mozilla's blog via push notification?"

Edit: The blog post in question is actually about Facebook.
I feel this is an interesting and a rather stake on the innovation / startup aspects.

I got reminded of this Rand's blog post after PG's blog post and its comments, and also after the why companies stop innovating article.

It seems that there is a contradiction between people who are very high on openness (the personality traits) and people, who are very low on openness and also high on risk aversion and orderliness (as pointed out in Rand's article).

I feel it's still less about good vd bad, but more about explorative vs optimizing & conforming tendencies as in Rands post. The same topic has been also discussed multiple times before, once with pioneers, settlers and town planners article.

While there are obviously risks in the conformism going wild / aggressive, in general it strikes me that Rands is right in the sense that you need both 'explorers' and 'optimizers' in any successful organization.

> Would I lock someone up for "something just slightly racist"?

I mean, if you don't have protected free speech, you have regulated speech. If you can't say "I believe in X because .... " where X might be racism, then it's no longer freedom, and therefore subject to potential criminal legislation. See John Adams and the sedition act.

> But when people yell "cancel culture" in a crowded online letter...

Bari Weiss made it clear it was the anger from the Tom Cotton essay where she felt her career at the times became untenable.

When did we decide that an essay by Tom Cotton was too dangerous to be published? That his speech was so dangerous that the core ideas could not just have been countered with... wait for it... more speech.

And no one said that freedom of speech never meant freedom of jobs. Nor did freedom of speech ever mean that people would buy your product after your ugly ideas came to light.

So what is cancel culture? It's this. Specifically this article:

I love Firefox, and believe it's vitally important for an open web, but Mozilla has been shooting themselves in the foot. People don't pay attention to all the positive new features and news, they pay attention to negative coverage like this.

And of course spam from any app is unacceptable without signing up prior, especially including a browser of all things, but that's pretty much a given.

If the problem is human population growth then good news, it’s a self limiting problem that won’t outlive the 21st Century.

A world of 1 billion people would be a very comfortable world compared to what people put up with now - this statement is demonstrably false, as such a world existed in 1804, and living conditions were what can only be described as dog poop for almost everyone. 1 billion people is just a figure plucked out of the air, in truth we have no idea what the carrying capacity of the earth is or what the optimal number of people is for long-term human and ecological flourishing.

There are many reasons to hate the human race and to wish billions of people didn’t exist, but philanthropy is not one of them.
A lot of local restaurants in small town USA source their ingredients from Sysco. While ownership of the venue might be local, the actual food is hardly different from that at chains.

It is two words: “Bloom filter”.
yeah, I'm sure. Someone who is passionate about these things will go the distance to use advance features like these. I know that the Switch isn't capable of running at 4K. I play it at 1080 on the telly. It's relatively large at 60 inches but I rarely notice any frame drops or low fps. Even if it did, I wouldn't be able to notice! But it's good to know that I could theoretically use 4K, with a powerful enough PC. I've a Ryzen machine and might buy a GTI 2070 or something like that for Machine Learning purposes in a few months. I'll save this link in case I want to experiment.

The name "wave function collapse" is such a overcomplicated academic term.

In reality this algorith is very simple:

1) try to randomly place a part at X if it fits

2) try to pick the random part in such a way that once it will be placed we will maximize that probability that we will be able to build further on (so you just pick the part that reduces the chance of blocking the build in the next step in case nothing can fit anymore).

Then you just have to provide all combination of possible connection in terms of 2d/3d graphics.
Ironically if prisons in the US were actually for rehabilitation, LSD therapy could help some.
> The article very clearly points out an error in the original proof.

We're using slightly different notions of "proof": I am talking about (1) the proof steps involved in proving a given, fixed statement. You are talking about (2) a wider notion that includes the formulation of the statement to be proved. Both of these are valid meanings for the word "proof". Coq can only check the details of sense 1, not the additional details of sense 2. The error in the original proof (sense 2) is in these additional parts, not in the proof according to sense 1.

> assumptions/definitions are not verified and therefore the whole endeavor is somehow worthless.

This is not at all what I have done.

> A researcher being excited about their research is nothing to be ashamed about.

Right. And the actual work done here is reason enough for excitement.

> I especially appreciate the fact that one of the authors took the time to make an accessible blog post to introduce us to their work.

So do I. But the fact that the target audience keeps discussing the title shows that the title was not appropriate for the target audience.
Coming at it from a different perspective, I did something similar to this by saving money on a US salary and then moving to a low cost of living country. I spent years at a time not working or even thinking about how to make money. I think almost everyone has felt the pain of financial and social obligation, but very few people have experience a total lack of such obligations for years at a time which leads to things like fantasizing about FU money.

I can tell you that for me personally I don't think it was ideal. Yes, at first the freedom is exhilarating, but it doesn't last forever. There were two big problems. One is that you feel disconnected from society. This is hard to explain but being outside of normal social structures you lose a sense of context and meaning to your actions. Second is that when you don't have any social or financial pressures it's hard to avoid the path of least resistance. It's very easy to fall into bad habits, just watching youtube, reading reddit, bad diet, etc.

I would assess myself as someone who would be less susceptible to these problems. I consider myself a fairly self-motivated person and definitely an introvert. But after several years it starts to weigh on you.

Today I work in an office. There are often times when it's hard and I have to deal with things I don't want to. But I still think it's better than when I wasn't working. I think if I never had the experience of not working I would probably only see the downsides of office life as the upside is quite abstract and hard for me to articulate. I don't think this is something unique to me, I think it's human nature to want social structure and this naturally comes with social obligations. But for most people not being constrained to social structures was never an option anyway so they underestimate how much it affects their happiness.

I am not blaming you for your situation, life can be difficult sometimes and it literally sucks to be in that position despite of all your efforts. I can empathize with your situation but I simply cannot agree with certain parts of the article.
Had to click through a few links to get to the campaign page that explains what this is about.

Noticed the '... American values...' in the campaign page title and facepalmed. I got the ad and am European.

They did not think this through to catch that... I doubt they thought about consiquances of politicising the browser.
well, actually memorizing a number is probably not a problem. i realized that the real advantage is to be able to look whether the number is positive or negative without taking a close look at the actual value.

There is no conflicting definition and I'm not quite sure what your reply is about.

Quite obviously the point is not whether a microservice-based app can be deployed on a single box. It obviously can.

The point is that you split your app in order to deploy different pieces to different boxes then you have a distributed system and no longer a monolith.
I really sympathize with this and feel this way too although sometimes I feel paralyzed by too much choice, and that can make it harder to make "big" decisions, like buying a house, etc.

So shouldn't this be in the paper and preferably in the form of testable hypothesis? I guess we agree that the Hispanic part probably isn't useful unless we imagine genetic differences between the populations? The wokeness alert is in the sloppy use of ethnicity and the use of words like "possibly" without any scientific rigor. If you imagine causal effects going through socioeconomic factors that affect different parts of society differently, do model that explicitly. And in this paper the effect size is that small, that you'll probably end up nowhere. They could have been frank about that instead of a conclusion full of strong words.
