The current concept of marriage is very recent, maybe 200-300 years old. Marriage was never romantic but it was a political and business deal. Historically, very few people married their lovers. Powerful men married powerful women and then they had harems. Not only that wives often recruited younger women for their husbands' harems.

Most peasants were married through arranged marriages that benefitted their families.
there's certainly variation, regional, by quality level, as well as generational. class A commercial will almost certainly have filtered hvac, for example. my 1930's vintage high school most certainly didn't.
Wow, they are actually reducing models, and simplifying the range, but you make it sound as if they are increasing confusion by increasing the choices.

SEO is anything but passive. It's an ongoing, active effort with a lot of frustration. Most of the frustration is that you're optimizing for a blackbox. Google's algorithm can change rapidly, without warning in unexpected ways. A large site can move in and take over with little warning. SEO is a constant battle and long term effort.

>I'd argue that the fringes, as seen with the anti-lockdown demonstrations in Berlin recently, are actually sustained by newfangled social media.

My impression was that they were mostly older people (50+), and from their style of clothing I could tell that they were mostly poor people, maybe people who got wrecked by Hartz4 reforms in the 90s and early 2000s, and grew a deep hate on German politics and the mainstream. Fringe social media groups and conspiracy nuts just take advantage of pre-existing hate.
Facebook hate-speech boycott had little effect on revenue.

You'll notice the article does a good job at mentioning related and mitigating factors (such as "growth was higher the the expectations of some analysts" and "there was also a slowdown in ad revenue due to the pandemic"). But it offers no data whatsoever to directly support its central claim:

"The boycott had little effect on revenue".

Then again, this wasn't a "news article" in the regular sense. Consider the site that it was hosted on, and their overall business model.

> most commercial spaces and public buildings (like schools) already have HVAC systems incorporating HEPA filters (as good or better than N95 masks).

So, here's some anecdata. I have a PM2.5 sensor; not a great one, but good enough to measure relative changes. After buying an air purifier the PM2.5 count in our house dropped dramatically and consistently. Whereas the lower end before was a "2", now it reaches to "0"; I'd never seen the sensor register 0 before this. And the spikes from cooking are quickly scrubbed, whereas before they would cause a lingering increase in PM2.5 for the rest of the night.

Even though I spend extra to get the higher grade filters for our HVAC, an air purifier still seems to have objectively improved the air quality far beyond what our HVAC was doing.

In other words, I'm not sure an HVAC is a good replacement.
As far as I can tell credit karma makes money by referring people to credit cards and other financial instruments. Their emails are easy enough to ignore.
It will still not do anything about random access — the main use case of RDMA in HPC. Sequential access over network is fast enough without RDMA.

Writing programs to take advantage of RDMA, and use of advanced cases like scatter-gather across multiple RDMA servers almost always benefits from building your compute logic around the data access pattern you have.
Me too! I've carved out some time this summer to look into some approaches to the problem based on the BERT architecture. A few years ago I tried some (pre-BERT) deep-learning based approaches, but nothing panned out. The "dumb" information-retrieval based approach that my service currently uses is certainly bad, but stubbornly not as bad as all the alternatives I've tried in the 15 years since creating it!

Unfortunately though, they're dragging their feet on supporting their current generation of consumer grade GPUs. It seems currently, they're not going to support compute on consumer grade gaming GPUs and instead force people to use enterprise grade ones if they want ROCm which is terrible.

For reference, the maintainer of AMDGPU.jl can't upgrade to a new AMD GPU or he won't be able to use ROCm.

C++ could adopt the UFCS universal-function-call feature of D-language that allows any ordinary free function to be called as if they were methods, without any special kind of type annotation. One of major advantages of UFCS is that it enhances the discoverability of free functions in IDEs. An user could write 'Object' followed by dot '.' and the IDE could show all possible functions applicable to that type. In D-language, the UFCS also works for primitive types such as int, double and so on.

Personally, every time I try to delve into Julia, I am reminded by the massive ecosystem that exists around Python. Speed takes a backseat, instead enormous ecosystem makes Python indispensable and Julia a fringe language despite of its growing popularity.

Say you have a database, and need pull data, do some heavy math computation, then present this data in a pdf report with a QR code, pulling images and processing them in the report.

In Python, it is without bells and whistles: psycopg2, numpy/pandas, reportlab and may be use PIL. Wanna stick this on S3? boto3.

In Julia, it's all very fragmented. LibPQ is immature, DataFrames.jl is nice, ??? (what pdf conversion tool?), images.jl (300 stars), qr code generator?

The problem is not the speed with most tasks. The problem is availability of tools. I am sure that will come with it, but why not just use Python at that point? I am not a fan of Julia and that's nothing to do with its features. It has immature ecosystem, with terrible IDE support (Atom/Juno raises my blood pressure), debugging is painful if non existent, error messages are all over the place, everything falls apart as the immature dependencies change and error messages don't help at all.

Julia is fun in your jupyter notebook. If you try to build apps in production environment in my team, expect push back if not straight up refusal to initiate such a project in the first place.

Syntax was amazing around 0.4v and it went downhill from there.

I am sure someone is going to nitpick my comment and provide a way to do it in Julia, but that's missing the point. The point is Python is miles ahead of what it does. In production systems, robustness + maturity matters.

Also, don't forget ancillary aspects of a programming language. When we put a python repo together, I am rewarded by an endless supply of developers that I can hire and immediately work on it. With Julia, the supply of engineers is limited and it is such a pain to train people to use it, learn its quirks, spend nights and weekends fighting with it and the business doesn't give a fuck about it.
But then how will they get out of alimony later? Hire another one?
Show HN: Kids DIY Pendulum with household items and school glue [video]
Hey,

I am a scientist mum of twins and a science educator. I created a series of videos with quick STEM educational activities for young kids and parents/educators to watch and play together, in parallel to the video. I only use household items and aim for very very low cost & quick preparation so you can do it together with your little ones avoiding long boring preparations! The videos are playfully designed encouraging kids to feel happy and excited for science activities so they can have fun and learn:)

Do you think such activity would work for your family? What can I improve further to my videos/ activities? What would you advice me?

Thank you so much
They are also using exchange rate $ equivalent instead of PPP, the ratio then is 1.93 for the Netherlands to the US.

This is a lie by the fact checkers. One that pushes an agenda that's obvious to see for everyone who cares to look.
In the same boat but more a DevOps type here (split time between developing and doing operations). Have some offers already due to being fortunate enough to have someone recommend me in those companies, i think that is still the best way to find a new job.
No one gets the schema right from the beginning. Waterfall is out of fashion for a reason. And there are schema migration frameworks out there for that purpose.

If you care for the data you store, you'll have to take care of your data. ACID and the "rigidness" of schemata are tools for that, and to keep the complexity in check.
It is much easier than accruing technical debt by having unstructured data and having later to figure out to make heads and tails of what you and your colleagues did at some arbitrary earlier time. (Not that crappy SQL designs don't have that problem).

If you don't care for your data, as you are in the beginning, why don't you create the DB then from scratch? You can use various editors to create the schemata from tools you are more comfortable with.

Don't work against the tool, and find the slider in your head to adjust your way of working.
That's rich considering Python is routinely criticized here for lack of proper dependency management until recently. Just because Racket is a cute Lisp/academic language does not mean it should be held to lower standards especially considering their recent efforts in relicensing and marketing to be regarded as a "serious" production language.
> I have a 3a and it has kept me using pixels mainly for this reason

Same here - I held onto my Pixel 1 & only jumped to 3A when it came out.

Mostly it was that I had an existing wired setup fitted to my ears, but the real reason to hate BT was that I wasn't always charging them up. The airpods style charging case + a charging mat might have solved those problems, but the charger was more annoying than the wires themselves.

I happily use bluetooth in the car, which doesn't have the same sort of "did I forget to charge it?" problems.
> Newer studies have found that even just a thick cotton mask does somewhat protect you

No they haven't. If the effect of masks was so strong it would be easy to find that when we do trials. We've done the trials and we struggle to see the effect. Once we drop down the quality requirements we start to see an effect, but even that is mild.

> Although direct evidence is limited, the optimum use of face masks, in particular N95 or similar respirators in health-care settings and 12–16-layer cotton or surgical masks in the community, could depend on contextual factors; action is needed at all levels to address the paucity of better evidence. Eye protection might provide additional benefits. Globally collaborative and well conducted studies, including randomised trials, of different personal protective strategies are needed regardless of the challenges, but this systematic appraisal of currently best available evidence could be considered to inform interim guidance

There's no way to spin phrases like "direct evidence is limited" and "paucity of evidence" to mean "we've got good quality evidence that shows an effect".
I think all they are allowed to do is sit on the data. Huge waste to human knowledge. Many of the books are out of print.

Current Affairs should know a thing or two about lies being free...
I usually attach something fun to the tedious tasks: if I am to walk our dog in the rain, I am going to listen to armchair expert: I never listen to it in the regular day - so that acts like a treat. For biking - it is my fascination with being outside and so on. Eventually it becomes into a habit too!
Not a joke. I got heated over (what seems to me) whitewashing of liberal racism. It is a very real problem that liberals can spout blatantly racist garbage ("You ain't black") but never actually get classified as racist. Yet merely thinking capitalism is a good system is enough to get one classified as a racist and a fascist.

I apologize for getting triggered on the second part of your post and forgetting the first, but I think it's very important to call racism racism. Calling racism "colored perceptions" is so misleading as to be false.

I found the reference [0] more useful to bring home the point made in the article that using these termperature screening devices gives one the false assurance that they can ignore the physical distancing and mask measures.

(i) Many thermal cameras and temperature screening products were originally designed for non-medical purposes, such as for building or site security. Businesses and organisations need to know that using these products for temperature screening could put people’s health at risk.

(ii) Temperature readings from temperature screening systems will measure skin temperature rather than core body temperature. In either case, natural fluctuations in temperature can occur among healthy individuals. These readings are therefore an unreliable measure for detection of COVID-19 or other diseases which may cause fever. Furthermore, infected people who do not develop a fever or who do not show any symptoms would not be detected by a temperature reading and could be more likely to unknowingly spread the virus.

Progressive taxation is rents scaled to means.
The claim in the article was the TVA furloughed American Citizens, and then brought in more H1B Visa's instead, I suppose on the premise of paying them less than the furloughed workers.

If that assertion is true, then the outcome here (with the CEO being fired) seems very fitting and appropriate. That would amount to a gross misuse of public trust, for a public (US Government) owned organization.
It's a good idea, but the plan is to improve performance so we can go back to not paginating at all. HN traditionally just served up large threads the same way as small ones. That seems much better, and I fear making the current workaround too 'nice' since then we might never fix the issue properly.
The subtlety (also missed by the parent comment) is that he specified template metaprogramming, not templates in general. As I understand it, template metaprogramming refers to deeper uses of templates to do compile-time programming.

If you're ok with doing a bit of hacking a Raspberry Pi Zero W is $10 and can run off of the USB port of the laptop.

https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=199588

Just tape it to the case with a short USB cable. You can even set up a firewall on the thing so your ancient unpatched Mac isn't pulling its pants down and bending over for the modern Internet scan bots. You could even set up a transparent web proxy on the Pi so the ancient root certs on that version of OSX don't break everything.

Then all you have to worry about is the way out of date web browser not being able to handle all of the new web frameworks. Pretty soon you're asking yourself why you didn't go and find a just-as-cheap and much less outdated laptop instead.

For a more timely example, please recall the whole 1619 debacle, in which the NYT published and subsequently defended a slander against our own American history. The article claimed that preserving the institution of slavery was "one of the primary reasons" for the American Revolution. Even after this claim (among others) was trashed by prominent academic historians, the NYT editorial board defended the article (in a manner scarcely discernible from lying), and only issued a correction after the historians persisted in their criticism. The correction, it should be noted, merely replaced the blatant lie with a masterfully crafted phrase which was clearly intended to imply the very same lie.

This is not the behavior of an organization with a commitment to the truth.

This comment is probably tongue in cheek, but I think the slowness of Python 3 uptake was mostly caused by a perceived lack of beneficial features to the large HPC/scientific computing crowd. Breaking syntax changes (outside some very obscure things like trigraphs) is what C++ has been looking to avoid (for good/bad).
My favorite version of this has been https://www.quinapalus.com/cgi-bin/qat?dict=6
