To me, the value in TDD is the same as testing in general. It's not so much for initial feature development but rather later in a project or application maintenance you see the value. I view it as amortizing the complexity over the life of the project.

Sure, it might take a bit longer to ship a simple feature, but bugs also take away from feature development, and in a complex enough application small changes might result large bugs. I guess that's true about software testing in general, but I think most developers would say there's value in having tests.

Often, the tradeoff in shipping quickly is technical debt that impacts your ability to ship quickly in the long run. I think TDD can help manage that, especially if you're planning to write tests for a feature anyway.

It does depend on what you're working on, of course, but I think most companies over-estimate their need to rapidly ship features. In the grand scheme of things adding a week to a 6 week project isn't that big a deal and might even save time in the long run.
Right. The DCT, in theory, is completely lossless. But the reason that the "other space" is helpful for us for compression is because our eyes and ears are more interested in comparing relatively than absolutely. So you don't need the exact high-frequency content, just the relatively correct high-frequency content. As discussed, "high-frequency" just means stuff that's moving very fast. In sound, that's compared to pitch. In a JPEG image, that means a given pixel's brightness.

This is what the DCT is exploiting -- that we can adjust the high-frequency terms and it will still look OK to our eyes.

Good point. If we want to start farming the ocean, an open ocean habitat would be more useful. Especially if it were 60 feet below the surface to avoid weather conditions.
This is great for employees of private funds and other things like that. It makes no difference at all to the average person complaining about the accredited investor rules preventing them from investing in sure-fire wins.

It really doesn't matter how much of a genius you are at recognizing investment wins. If you can't give them enough cash to finance their operations for a significant period of time, the company isn't going to be interested in taking your money. If you can't meet the wealth guidelines, you're not gonna be able to give them enough money to be worth their time dealing with.

I suspect a large portion of Apple’s users value the fact that they can’t break their phone by accidentally installing the wrong app or clicking the wrong button. To them it might not be clear what they’re getting from this no-rules App Store.
With Atlas, I filed a form and received an email with docs (to sign) a few days later. I got my Certificate of Incorporation and a bank account (got blocked, but that's a different story) the same day I signed docs. Then, they invite you to issue the stock via the web form, and that concludes the process on their end.

The only hiccup was with receiving an EIN confirmation later, so I had to call IRS so they could fax it to the third-party designee.

Haven't used Clerky, but the biggest perks with Atlas are a bank account (which is generally a pain to open for non-residents) and $5k AWS credits.

Get a nice notebook and a nice pen. The dimensions of the book will matter depending on the constraints you want to set.

I usually use the front of a page to list the main tasks, the back of a page for smaller tasks/tweaks. Cross things off as you go.

One page per user story is the primary constraint. Otherwise the plan is too big and needs to be split.

If you need the validation feedback, there’s nothing like a notebook with pages of marked off tasks.

You can take this many ways, I usually draw lines between chunks of connected tasks, box critical things, etc. The interesting thing about this ad hoc approach is that you will basically discover your organic organization process, which could lend to building your own better tools (or at least it is definitely informing what I would build).
Show HN: A New BaaS Platform
That they did call an ambulance was established from the start. Nothing I said contradicts that. The issue is when they called it, and the fact one of them knelt on his neck.

Kneeling on his neck alone is sufficient to make how they acted awful, irrespective of anything else. There is nothing that will make that an acceptable way to restrain someone.

So unless you're telling me the video proves nobody knelt on his neck, it's not going to improve things.

If the full video as claimed above shows that he complained about breathing before getting out of the car, then that suggests they waited longer to call an ambulance than what I thought they did, and so my impression of their behaviour is now significantly worse.
> How does one recognise some else's validity?

Actually a very hard question with a million answers for a million different combinations of identity and scenarios.

At a high level I think recognizing validity takes the form of a social acknowledgement that someone else as "as much" right as us to be in public space. You can think about LGTBQ+ folks going out glammed-to-the-gills, or how the modern gay rights movement started after police raided a gay bar for no particular reason, or slut marches protesting sexual harassment. These are all people doing things in public that are taboo in a way that's related to their identity (gay people acknowledging their sexuality in public / people dressing in revealing ways) and demanding they be treated with respect. Often even if they are shouting rude things.

For a more heteronormative example you could think about the distraught parent who might break social norms when their child is hurt or killed. If you're a doctor and you have to tell the parents their child is dead and they scream at you, you don't treat them like they're random people on the street. You respect their validity and understand that they are dealing with a lot and your feelings aren't top of mind[1].

It can also be as small as not asking where someone who is a little racially ambiguous "where they're from" before you get to know them. Not because the question is rude exactly, but because it's probably a question they get a lot and it highlights the difference in your backgrounds.

[1] This is actually very hard on medical professionals even if we all understand!
The EPA is a government agency not a test. Calling it "EPA-estimated" implies the EPA is the one who did the estimating and not that it is a projection of what the car will get on the EPA's test.
so you are claiming majority of the rioting is by alt right and law enforcement? i am very interested to see you substantiate that claim

i attended one blm march in my town and it was mostly (almost entirely) white, and the most active participants seemed to be mostly white non local college kids, who gave no indication of being alt right

the organizers were also predominantly white, some seemed very experienced with this sort of thing (and pretty elderly)

i cannot help but draw comparisons with ellison's book

it also seemed to be mostly organized as a photo op, and had us spend most of our time marching around an abandoned high school, with perhaps a few minutes along a main road which is when some participants spent their time taking pics and filming

i personally was highly disappointed with the march, and do not see how it can bring about greatly needed local change in the most racist county in my state

The site you linked asserts "meta-learning" is happening in GPT3 without any evidence of it
This is a well-written and researched article, but I have to disagree with some stuff. The suggested alternative payment processing policies make no sense for Apple; they would incentivize people to not make iPhone-exclusive experiences. That's something the walled-garden aficionados at Apple would never go for. And a court order to implement a change like that (or any change) would be a bad idea. As for the reduced 10% rate, why 10%? In a truly competitive market, we might see figures lower than that.

I think that trying to come up with perfect changes for Apple's practices is a waste of time. Apple shouldn't be forced to make changes to their store, nor should we bother trying to convince them to do it themselves. Let them do whatever they want, but allow third-party stores. Competitive forces will fix everything in the long-term.

What I'm not sure of is how that would work in practice. Will Apple be forced to release (and maintain) their SDKs and dev tools for free? Will they be forced to make changes to the operating system to allow side-loading? If they are, how long would that take? and wouldn't it be catastrophic from a security point of view, since iOS has never had to worry about the security issues of side-loading.
I don't see how 3rd party stores can possibly work in a system that relies on rigid permissions.

HN fetishises root access as if it's some kind of magic panacea, but in reality most users don't care about root access at all - they want apps that work, they have zero interest in tinkering with software for its own sake, and root access will not make apps more reliable or more secure.

The main problems with the App Store are the cost (30% is egregious), the distance between Apple's claims about privacy and simple exploits (see also Zoom and TikTok), the fact that search is user hostile, and the fact that Apple forces its payment system on app developers for no good reason.

Fix all of those and cut the tax to 10% and Apple can continue to have its semi-monopoly.

You use a game library for this and then it becomes as simple as pushing a key handler onto the event loop and usually the keycodes are already processed for you as well. I don't get the false dilemma people are creating that somehow this is complicated or that people who use the easy way are less knowledgable than others. If you make a game engine from scratch by yourself it's going to be a logical disaster, whether you've learned c++ or python.
Your idea doesn't seem to be thought through -- who ensures the insurance companies are solvent enough to pay out? How do you deal with irreversible damage? Why invest a ton of energy into figuring out the right risk calculations for shoddy work rather than say, "This passes the threshold of really unsafe, don't do it". It's so much simpler, cheaper, and easier to understand to just draw a few lines in the sand.

No amount of compensation can bring someone back if they've been lost to a fire, a deck collapse, a sinkhole, an electrical issue, etc.

The use of lead paint causes irreversible damage to nervous tissue, and lead contamination can lie undetected in soils for years after a property removes all the lead from the buildings.

Why would we want to invest a massive amount of effort into figuring out, e.g., the actual insurance risk of poorly built structures rather than saying, "No, you cannot use highly flammable plastic cladding on your highrise."

Especially if insurance companies can go bankrupt or refuse to pay out. How do victims get made well if the insurance company refuses to pay on some technicality? The last thing I want to deal with is more insurance companies.
In this analogy, you are throwing away the instrumentation, like whether it was played on a piano or a tuba, but the raw melody is still there.

This is the advantage of working in the frequency space. If we were in the time space, throwing away 70% of the data would throw away 70% of the melody.
The reality is that your scenario never happened. Not on Android, not on Windows, not on Linux distributions... The 'official' App Store always wins, unless its demands are so onerous a small minority uses a small store in addition to it.
Sorry. How is this hard? You test a function you write and write it down. Run the test. Why is this on Youtube? This is nuts - this isn't an existential developer crisis.
1. On taxes, a C Corp might be the right choice, but he didn't say enough to reject an LLC that elects to be taxed under Subchapter S. A C Corp taxed under Subchapter C creates the classic "double taxation" problem, where any profit distributions are taxed twice before hitting the founder's pocket.

2. A CMRA (virtual mailbox) is not a good registered agent. The "registered agent" is the place the sheriff or process server delivers a lawsuit to a real person. If your mailbox address doesn't accept hand-delivery, they'll reject service.

And if that happens, you may not hear about any lawsuit until the court has already ruled against you and entered a judgment. Most states say that if you don't have a place for hand-delivery, the person suing you can mail it to the Secretary of State, who then mails it to your last known address. You rarely get the suit in time to answer.

You can find registered agents cheaper than $100. But don't assume your virtual mailbox is a good solution.
Cheap rockets will make space telescopes way more accessible. Ground survey telescopes have serious limitations. So for science this could be a positive thing.

That risk is low comparing to the reward on such large user base. Most business can thrive if they develop an actual app with good value. You can always pick a war with Apple, but that’s a risk you choose to take after you make it big.
As someone who is also learning German (Viel Glück!), doesn't the verb always go into the second position unless:

1. It's an infinitive verb, perfect verb, or a verb in a subclause, in which case it goes to the end.

2. You're asking a question without a question word (i.e. "Can you" or "Will you") or issuing a command, in which case the verb moves to the beginning).

Examples:

Verb in second position:

> "Was willst du" -> What do you want?

Infinitive verb at the end of the clause:

> "Ich will mit dir reden" -> I want to talk to you

Conjugated verb at the end of a subclause:

> "Kannst du mir versprechen, dass du mich nie verlassen -wirst?" -> Can you promise you will never leave me

Just to clarify, I'm not any sort of authority on this. Merely trying to double check my own understanding as I continue on my language learning journey :)

From the article:

"The trend, however, is indisputable: Greater compactness increases housing costs."

The 'compactness index' they're talking about is centered around density (and the impacts of that on transportation, health, travel distances, etc.).

And my 'argument' is not about the negative effect of density--it's that I don't believe that density makes housing more affordable.

You realize that almost 50% of users in the US are Apple users?

I could say the same about open source advocates.

So do you think there is no reason besides signaling that people may want a phone that integrates with everything else they have? Or they get a faster phone for $399 than any Android phone at any price? They get 5 years of OS updates directly from Apple instead of hoping you get an update for two years? You have a video chat/messaging platform that has been consistent since 2010-2011 instead of having five released by the vendor?

Does Apple have some type of secret sauce that has allowed it to go its own way for four decades that no one else in the industry was able to successfully pull off? Or is it really just “better marketing”?
Yes let me just spin up my R web server.

Id say its something else entirely. Zucc needed a foil to get the president trained on something other than his own platform which, until the convenience of TikTok, was looking at serious legislative curtail. Knowing our president has the attention span of a jack russel terrier made it all the easier to torpedo what is arguably his biggest competition for Gen Z and younger, the lifeblood of his platform and what his advertisers arguably want the lions share of.

Religion, whatever else it is, is part of the human experience. Religious traditions are some of the oldest organizations in existence. Whatever the nature of god, they all deal with reassuring the faithful and attracting the unconverted, which was why I thought they comparison was apt.
Thanks for continuing to engage, but I'm not sure we are seeing eye to eye on the fundamental question.

Putting aside the challenges of defining and measuring general intelligence, is it amoral to desire or take action to bring about a smarter child?
It seems that some people hold that yes, it is, because this ranks and devalues dumb people.
What do you think about this?

I think that it is perfectly reasonable, and in fact standard practice. Parents Intentionally optimize for smart children over dumb ones all the time using non-genetic means.

If you agree here, do you think using genetics to increase intelligence is conceptually amoral for other reasons? Alternatively, is your point that the technology isn’t mature enough to be ethical. Or is it that it IS ethical, just not practical?

For what it is worth, at least one commercial service is already available in the USA to screen embryos for non-disease genes which are probabilisticlly linked to lower IQ, by whatever metric the companies use to measure and define IQ. I think they started testing embryos in 2018.

Monopolistic behaviour hurt markets and overall economy more than what a flourishing, unrestricted "business" can capture.
> This is a survey by a respected polling company with an overwhelming result that goes against what is clearly the preferred narrative of most people on this site.

But...it doesn't do that at all. Both because the defund/dismantle/abolish narrative isn't dominant on the site, and because the framing of the survey sidesteps the structural law enforcement issues at the heart of that narrative entirely and asks merely whether people want police to spend the same, more, or less time in their neighborhoods, which isn't the issue at all.
In concurrent/parallel scenarios the memory bandwidth is often the bottleneck. So 1TB/s of memory bandwidth over 96 threads is about 10.5GB/s each. Not great, but the 3990x has what, 100GB/s over 64 threads for about 1.5GB/s each?

A "race to the bottom" that only impacts price means the customer wins. But the important point (which often goes unsaid) when people speak of a race to the bottom is that they are concerned that position in that race will be earned by sacrificing things that matter.

That may or may not be the case, but I expect it'll be more fruitful to address it.
Can you clarify as to what kinds of clarifying questions you're looking for? Not trying to be ironic here, just need help with interviewing.
I'm not sure what you're finding harmful when it sounds to me like you're agreeing. Your "library code" (or library-esq elements) is the code that you find needs to be tested more heavily, because it is library code? I don't thing whether it's packaged separately was key to that, but it can help.

> certain professional certifications, designations or credentials or other credentials issued by an accredited educational institution

After specifying that "holders in good standing of the Series 7, Series 65, and Series 82 licenses as qualifying natural persons," the bullet point adds that the SEC chose this "approach [to provide] the Commission with flexibility to reevaluate or add certifications, designations, or credentials in the future."

So no, at this point, only holders in good standing of those licenses are included in this part of the amendment.

What are going to be the cultural effects of having a constant stream of satellites wizzing around the night sky?

I've sat here for a few minutes thinking selfishly about never being able to experience Alaska wilderness on a clear night. Or late night stroll on a beach looking up, etc, etc forever about all kinds of personal moments that will never be the same.

However there's billions of people who have no idea what Starlink or Kuiper are that are going to find out the hard way when they no longer have that same night sky either.

I hadn't really thought about it much before because it was always framed as an astronomy problem, but it's really a whole Earth's peoples problem.
