Ask HN: How can I “work-out” critical thinking skills as I age?
As I get older, I realized I’m not as sharp as I used to be. Maybe it’s from the fatigue of juggling 2 kids, but I’m very ill prepared for interviews because I simply can’t answer “product questions” and brain teasers. It’s a skill I need, and truthfully I was never good at consultant type questions to begin with but I’m seeing a lot of these questions in Data Science interviews.

Any help or resources will be tremendously appreciated.

Good heavens was that a mess. It had been a nice 15+ years of easy-peasy with dependency management prior to that in MS-land, though.

It seemed that a fair amount of the problems were MS learning the pitfalls of how they packaged System assemblies for NuGet. Then the compatibility shim mostly brought things back to what we had been used to in .Net (works) - even easier, in fact, now that automatic assembly binding in builds isn't a minefield.

" you can assume that there is an interpreter available on the system, say /usr/bin/python3, you can use that instead of creating a virtual environment."

Please DO NOT do this. It is so much easier to always create a virtual environment, and then you never have to worry about installing two applications on the same system that may have conflicting versions. Additionally, you don't know what else may be installed into the system's default python environment.

>Why would I download a text editor every time I wanted to use it?

To give a serious answer: The web is literally that. And I suspect the success of the web is in a major way due to Windows' lack of streamlined package manager, as the installation ("loading") of a webpage is about a second, whereas the install time of an average Windows program involved potentially several minutes and clicking "next" several times.

Fast install times helps with discoverability - if you can click a link and "install" a browser in under a second, it becomes pretty trivial to try out ten browsers in under two minutes and encourages experimenting. Plus, you'll have reasonable expectation that you won't have to spend time cleaning up the cruft left by unwanted IDEs you don't plan to use.

Also, the install time issue also applies to updates. Web pages mostly don't have an "updating..." loading popup like e.g. Steam has every time there's an update.

Note: I am NOT advocating we all switch to web browsers. I AM advocating that we try to make our package managers a couple of orders of magnitude faster.
It’s about a 7th the world population...

> One of the odd things about Bogleheads, however, is that, once you're up to speed, have your accounts set up, no unusual events, and you take the "index on autopilot" to heart... frequenting the forum then seems counterproductive, like it becomes temptation to tinker with financial arrangements, or just a distraction from better things to be doing.

That's what I've recently discovered. Dumping everything into VTSAX is the best thing you can do to your investments, but then... where's the excitement? So I've allowed myself a "fun money" brokerage account that I initially deposited $5k into, and just play with options trading. I've already paid myself back the initial investment, so any profit/loss from now on is irrelevant. This way I can still geek out over investing, but not gamble my life savings.

Layman here, but this seems pretty easy to answer for GPL at least because it defines [1] what "source code" means (with a rather brilliant definition, I might add):

I expect it would be tough to argue that the preferred form of a work to modify is its history rather than its present form.

Look it's one thing to hate on big corporations for existing actions, but's entirely something else to invent conspiracy theories. In reality Comcast isn't threatened by Starlink because Starlink market is aimed at less populated areas so Comcast has no need to fight it. It would be completely oversaturated by cities and cities are easy to invest in building network infrastructure.

Now, I could imagine other satellite internet companies to fight it, but they're much less powerful.

I don’t know your background. But I’ve worked at an investment bank the past 15 years and have traded every kind of stock, bond and derivative there is.

With respect, you sound a little bit like every new programmer that I’ve worked with. They get a taste of learning about finance and suddenly become day traders. They make some money and then suddenly they give it all back and more because they really weren’t understanding what they were doing.

In general, anyone with a full time job that thinks they can out-compete full time traders that specialize in the exact instrument that you are trying to trade will have a very expensive lesson some day.

Paying for public mental health care
One thing to note is that the bullet trains in Japan are also expensive to ride. A 300km, 1hr20min train ride costs $100/person.

But it still works out, because driving is also expensive - the highway network in Japan is privatized, and the tolls are pretty steep. The tolls for the same trip as above are $40. Add to that the cost of gas and parking, and driving only ends up being cheaper once you're several people sharing a ride.

Maybe "every IoT vendor must put their source code in escrow and when they go out of business the source code becomes GPL"?

I totally agree with this assessment. Road building and maintenance has huge costs too, but those come from general revenue in the US so people don’t notice it.

It was a choice in the US to build the free-to-use interstate system just as it was a choice in Japan to build the shinkansen. The highway system in Japan is not free; it is tolled and it costs roughly the same in tolls for a single person to drive vs use the shinkansen. Local trains in most cities are good too. With these policies, applied over decades, trains became the default mode of transportation.

Also, Japan is very mountainous making it probably one of the most expensive countries To build rail in. But it’s a moot point because they managed to build up a national highway system as well as a it national train system, I think proving that it’s a matter of policy and not geography.

The other common argument is difference in population density, but this also misses the mark for 2 reasons. First of all, the US had a pretty impressive network of rail before it has an impressive highway system, it’s just mostly used for freight now and policy for public transportation shifted to roads. Second, at least the 2 coasts have high population density more or less covered by a straight line which ought to be well served by fast trains.

Don't prohibit speech. That's it. Repugnance is part of life. If you suppress speech, you only push it underground. Light is the best disinfectant. Daryl Davis, a black musician, attends Klan rallies (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORp3q1Oaezw). By knowing who to speak with, he's helped people out of that racist pit.

I extend speech so far to include calls to violence. Then you know who to watch and who to protect. Hiding this does nothing but make intel harder to get. You can't try to prevent radicalization, because you've pushed it so far out of the light, it might as well be a mole. They'll still eat the roots of your modern democracy, but you'll be surprised.
Yes, that's roughly the jist of my comment. There are often people with the skills to fix stuff that want to contribute back. But, there's typically a line for them. They fixed it for their own purposes, but are only willing to invest so much time in learning and aligning to project wishes and practices.

I get there are opposite examples of contributors just being contrary and rude, but some sort of workflow to quickly make good, but standards-flawed fixes compliant has merit.

Your idea of a simple way to let someone else take over a pull request seems good.
Commutativity of multiplication is not “lost”. It’s something you shouldn’t generally expect to have. It would be good if people would spend more time learning about non-commutative multiplications at a younger age, which should be expected in general. Mathematicians’ bias towards commutativity is often so culturally ingrained from a lifetime of commutative algebraic structures that it’s very hard for them to break away from. If they spent more time on the geometry earlier on it could help quite a bit.

That multiplication of a vector by a scalar + bivector oriented in a plane containing the vector on the left happens to have the same result as multiplication by the reverse on the right Zv = vZ† comes down to the identity a(bc) = (bc)a for any three coplanar vectors a, b, c, which happens because vectors commute with both scalars and coplanar bivectors. This doesn’t work more generally because the trivector part of the product doesn’t vanish when the vectors are not coplanar. This convenient feature results in many nice results for plane geometry / complex numbers which don’t hold in more general settings. It would be good if students would start with the general version (in high school or early in undergraduate science/engineering programs) so they can separate out the special features in their minds and not take them for granted.

No, Japan is terrible for building bullet train infrastructure. It's so mountainous that building straight enough track requires lots of expensive tunnel drilling. The new maglev is something like 90% tunnels. The places in the US where there would be demand for a bullet train have much more straightforward geography.

> I’m not sure why the article includes that line without clarifying the specific nature of that interface.

Two possible reasons I can think of, but there may well be more.

1. Cynical take: like all news the article is written with a point of view. Sometimes communicating that point of view is more important to the publication than the facts. In this case I suppose it might better fit their narrative to make the driver seem even less sympathetic and even more of an idiot.

2. More straightforward take: they're simply ignorant and too pushed for time/under delivery pressure, or possibly (though less likely) too lazy, to dig deeper into why the driver might use the touchscreen rather than the switch, not realising that the switch offers no ability to adjust wiper speed.

Either way, to me this makes the story less interesting and less useful. It could, for example, have provided an opportunity to challenge Tesla on one of their less than stellar decisions on interior and driving ergonomics. That's an opportunity missed. (I mean, I suppose we're doing that here, which is no bad thing.)

DISCLAIMER: I don't own and have never driven a Tesla so am unfamiliar with the division of responsibilities between touchscreen and physical switchgear. This makes (2) seem more likely to me but only based on my own experience.
Not really. Trials are definitely accelerated, and crucial things like long-term effects are basically never tested before being released.

> Then we have standards that come out like Bluetooth mesh or HomeKit that say this is exactly how a light switch should work. Great, except your light switch has this cool feature that Philips did not think of in the committee meeting and now you are forcing it in and your product once again suffers.

This seems like it could be solved by a meta-standardizzation: a standardized extensibility model. So the light bulb supports "on", "off", and "dim", and the vaccuum supports "begin cleaning", "return to charging base" and "open dust cup lid", but both support a "Get model-specific register and function list" command, yielding something like WSDL.

Maybe Philips bulbs activate their RGB disco seizure mode with Model Specific Function 82, and GE bulbs have colour temperature control on Model Specific Function 74, but so long as the bigger, smarter device controlling both can query this and package it up for users, it works fine. And when your new vaccuum has "knit new cat out of collected cat hair" they can define it as MSF 74 if they want, so long as the catalog is accurate.
