I guess the best thing would be that it uses a different random seed every time it's run (so that, when re-running the code you'll see similar results which verifies that the result is not sensitive to the seed), but the particular seed that produced the particular results published in a paper is noted.

But still, for code running on different machines, especially for numeric-heavy code that might be running on a particular GPU setup, distributed big data source (where you pull the first available data rather than read in a fixed order), or even on some special supercomputer, it's hard to ask that it be totally reproducible down to the smallest rounding error.
I travelled using a 50cc motorbike from France to Istanbul.

Avoiding motorways was necessary, but it turned out to be an amazing improvement. I now actively try to travel using just back roads and I try not to be in a hurry to reach a destination. I now find travel is best done slowly, unoptimally, via the less usual routes, and that the journey is often the best part (especially when travelling with a good travel buddy).
Thanks so much for sharing that. I like how he specifically called out that the 1700 feet was the height of splashes, and the wave itself was about 100 feet tall. The other fisherman said the face was about two boat lengths (40 foot boat) so these are really good observations, and seem to lack embellishment.

Time to google search for a computer simulation of this.

A lot of buildings used in rural areas definitely aren't aesthetic pleasing, massive industrial buildings where the primary concern is build cost. They provide jobs to the region so people treat it as a necessary evil. People need jobs but power just comes out of the wall... Then can generate it elsewhere (not in my back yard), that's what I believe the primary issue is. Wind turbines also work better on hill and where the surrounding area isn't obstructed, so by definition they're a little tricky to hide.

What I've always found odd is how windmills are loved and wind turbines are hated. Maybe tell people they're windmills?

But in all seriousness, power generation is something that isn't discussed as much as it needs to be. Electric vehicles are coming fast (fuel prices are surprisingly low right now, but it never stays that way..) and when you consider the number of vehicles about, that will take quite a bit of power (or Angry Pixies as a certain Youtuber would say). Energy does have a cost to the environment (there isn't an easyway around that), but it also has a cost to the economy, there's no simple answer which is why I think it isn't discussed enough. I'm pro nuclear, on a renewable energy tariff and I'd argue natural gas makes a lot of sense in the UK - That's just my answer.

And yet another case, I suspect, of the Pareto principle: 20% of regulations are load-bearing. They keep lead out of our pipes, asbestos out of our ceilings, and make electrical fires thankfully rare.

The remaining 80% all look good on paper (or they wouldn't be there) but do things like require bathrooms to be wheelchair accessible, even if there's an accessible bathroom two doors down, at a business which would be happy to extend its use to any wheelchair-using customers. Or dictate ceiling heights so that the occasional 2 meter tall customer won't hit his head on exposed pipe.

But these regulations aren't optional "best practices", they have the same weight as ones which prevent building collapse, fire, and cancer. And the sum total is a landscape which is prohibitively hostile, in many cases, to starting a small business.
Hey, I've gone through a very similar situation recently, and my history is similar to what you describe here, as well. My email is in my profile, and I'd love to chat with you about it -- just put something in the subject to identify that you're haswell@HN.
As an ex-scientist who used to run lots of simulations, I really fail to see a truly compelling reason why most numerical results (for publication purposes) truly need to publish (and support) deterministic seeding.

We've certainly done a lot, scientifically speaking (in terms of post-validated studies), without that level of reproducibility.
Please note that Perl 6 has been renamed to Raku (https://raku.org using the #rakulang tag on social media). And yes, it is nicer :-)
The problem with Apollo is that if you use it for server queries, you are basically forced to use it for local state management as well. This is because server state and local state is usually intermingled, so its not practical to have a Redux store for local state and then use the Apollo cache for server state.

This means that Apollo is essentially incompatible with Redux unless you are willing to duplicate the data in the Apollo cache into your Redux store. Such duplication is a waste of resources, and also defeats the point of using Apollo to begin with, since you are circumventing most of its feature and just using it as a plain GraphQL client.

I think Apollo is trying to do too much, and a much better architecture is not to couple your GraphQL query infrastructure to your state management infrastructure. This can be done by using a more low level GraphQL client and then choosing one of the many amazing state management libraries out there in combination. This way your GraphQL client does not dictate your state management layer.

How to test your startup ideas with landing pages
Why every startup should launch a beta for their platform
> The solution is simple, write a safe wrapper, that uses `unsafe` once.

This is the thing I'm calling a cop-out. Chromium wants to avoid the error-prone boilerplate of writing out all those safe wrappers, by asserting in a single place that a whole collection of C++ functions are always safe to call with any arguments that match their (generated Rust-side) type.

> That wasn't my read of their comment. If that's what they want, then the patched `cxx` crate which requires `unsafe` would give them exactly this.

Yes, this is what I have been telling you. The Chromium document also says this at the end of point #1: "This particular property is satisfied by dtolnay’s marvellous cxx library already."

> > The key issue that people get worked up about, is that all C++ is unsafe,

>

> This is not what we are talking about here. Lot of C++ code is safe, and writing a safe wrapper over C++ that's obviously safe is a one liner.

We need to be careful with terminology here. All C++ code is unsafe in the sense that its soundness is unchecked by the compiler. Some C++ is also unsafe in the sense of an `unsafe fn`, placing additional expectations on its callers which are not captured by the type signature.

I'm repeating myself now, but it is absolutely possible to take a C++ header file, review the functions it declares, and decide "yes, the wrappers generated by cxx for these functions would all be sound." This is the case where autocxx helps- once you have such a header file, generating a bunch of safe wrappers is much less error prone than writing and maintaining them by hand.

You are correct that Vulkan/Wayland/etc. are usually not conducive to this. But that is why I linked that Reddit comment- the Chromium devs invoking cxx also control the APIs they're feeding it! The reply you linked is not talking about calling Rust from C++, but about this approach of calling C++ which you also own from Rust.

Once you control both sides of the language boundary, changes to the header are a totally different matter. All the thought that goes into preserving those functions' contracts, or updating their callers when they change, must "simply" take the Rust code (and its generated wrappers) into account as well. This is what "all C++ code is unsafe" means- regardless of whether or how Rust is involved, changes to C++ functions must consider their impact on soundness.
Yep. Same problem that plagued "Solar FREAKIN' [sic] roadways" and is mentioned in the xkcd flowchart "Should I put Solar Panels on it?": https://xkcd.com/1924/

We have flat unused ground. Lets focus on getting solar there and put our whiz-bang technical chops to work solving the more difficult problem of robust distribution and storage of power.

Yeah google can show longer but faster route depending on traffic etc.

Would be a super-useful to have a sciencecode.com service which is a long-term CI system for scientific code and its required artifacts. Journals could include references to sciencecode.com/xyz and sciencecode.com/abc could be derived from sciencecode.com/xyz. Given Github Actions and Forks, the only thing holding this back is scientists doing it (and, possibly, the HN community helping).

And I get that it's not fun to have your code publicly critiqued but it's also not fun to live lives based on (medical, epidemiological) unpublished, unaudited, unverified code...

EDIT: hell, just post a "HELP HN: science code @ github.com/someone/project" and I'd be surprised if you weren't overwhelmed with offers of help.

"If we go back and take a look at the earliest written records that we currently have of human civilization — the ancient Mesopotamian texts — it becomes clear that marriage was very similar to slavery; marriage law looked a lot like property law. This is described in a lot of details in the Code of Hammurabi. You just have to consider the fact that the Akkadian words describing a husband (be-el as-sa-tim) mean “owner of a wife” to realize that, just like a slave, a wife was considered to be a man’s property. A woman had to address her husband with “master” or “lord” just like a slave addresses his master or a subject his king. And to this day there are still cultures where the words used to describe a husband literally mean “owner of a wife.” Consider that in the bible, when god decides to create a woman, he does so to create a “helper” for the man, later adding that “man shall rule over woman.” In the ten commandments, a wife is also listed among the properties of a man (a woman was considered first to be the property of her father, and after marriage her husband). In some verses in the bible the Hebrew words that describe a married woman, or a wife, literally mean “woman with a master.”3

So a woman became the property of a man upon “marrying” him, and was sold by her father in a way comparable to slavery. The future owner of such a woman would have to pay her father the price he requested for his daughter and a contract was made detailing the terms of the transaction.4 This is where the traditions we still have today in certain cultures around the world come from, where the parents of the bride are given money and presents in return for their daughter. These traditions are simply the remnants of the original sales transactions of antiquity, where the daughter was sold to her new owner or husband."

Thanks! It is very helpful. These are great points. I actually tell my patients that every supplement or vitamin should be thought of as a medication. I had written "should be thought of" in the article and then just switched to "is a medication" to make the sentence simpler. It probably changed the meaning too much. It's been very interesting to read the responses on here, and I appreciate the feedback.
We bought a second car at the weekend, I phoned up my insurance company and asked them to put it on. They did so, and it was cheaper than the quote I'd got online - £180 for 9 months vs £290 for 12 months.

So I immediately tipped the person on the phone £45

How ridiculous does that seem?
It's ok to aspire to mediocrity
This story in specific is being told by the medical specialist who resolved the issue and I was not really trying to give advice for extreme cases where you should pretty obviously be speaking to a medical specialist.

But I've journaled for years and my experience suggests that if you do it regularly, you do get better at noticing things over longer time frames. So, no, it's not useless to journal in such cases.

As with anything, more education and experience with it will get you better at it and how useful it is to you will depend on a lot of factors.
Covid lockdowns are overly blunt and costly
Agreed; I'm proud of our little constituent buddies!

I can't help thinking about how close a water-powered lumber mill feels to full closure (i.e. it produces all the parts it uses). Humans perform the chopping, move things from station to station, and assemble the finished parts into new buildings and machines.
A unique cafe like that is early phase gentrification, which most communities and individuals don't object to. They don't like it when tech/finance bros move in and want a Starbucks because it's easy to order from an app on your way to the subway. But once it starts it isn't a process you can really stop.
> In GIS, there's a saying "the map is not the terrain". It seems like HN is in a little SWE bubble, and needs to understand "the code is not the science".

And if you're a map maker, it's a bit rich to start claiming that the accuracy of your maps is unimportant. If code is "a way to test scientific ideas", then it kinda needs to work if you want meaningful results. Would you run an experiment with thermometers that were accurate to +-30° and reactants from a source known for contamination?
> For example, with C#, I've decompiled libraries and read through source code to learn new APIs and how some important functions are implemented

This can be fun lol. I had huge performance issues with a mildly disliked (paid) library where the program would eat all the RAM my machine had. Curious as to what it was doing I threw the library in dotpeek and everything had been horribly obfuscated :)
The sentiment of nutrition hacking with supplements expressed in the parent comment just seems wrong. Not factually wrong, I'm not able to judge, though it could be--one expert says one thing and the other the opposite. It just seems like a dangerous attitude of over-confidence to think you can mix and match supplements based on numbers from blood results. And who has their blood tested so often they can adjust their supplements weekly or monthly--because you wouldn't want to go too long at the wrong level.

There are so many complex systems in the body, and so many interactions such as vitamin D and calcium, that it just seems risky. Some people are knowledgeable about supplements and interactions, others sound knowledgeable but are just selling the next fad. Not to mention that it all depends on the person's specific metabolism and any conditions they might have (such as the patient in the article).

Or do we even need supplements at all if we just ate well and had an active lifestyle? Speaking as someone who just had yogurt and a banana: "Let thy food be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food."
Why should we, as a country, want low paying jobs that only support people with subsidies from others?

I support universal healthcare from a humanitarian perspective. But it doesn't make sense to tax everyone else so that Uber can cut labor costs.
Again, I always have to mention this. Go to any country where you don't speak the native language and uber/lyft/grab(SEA) are 10x better than taxis. No haggling. No getting in the taxi for an agreed price and then the driver deciding it should be more. No attempts to sell you their "tour".
It’s particularly curious that they compare Apple Park with the Pentagon. It’s a very similar design concept—arranging offices in a ring so as to maximize efficiency. But while Apple Park’s “UFO” aesthetic has the implication that it could take off at any second, the Pentagon was architecturally inspired by a star fort, which has the complete opposite connotation—one builds a fort when one is very determined to stay in the same place.
Interesting to see I’m not the only one who does this on messenger. It’s such a good way to store information.
I agree. FSD is far more complex than even Musk imagined (or at least has portrayed) and while I'm very impressed with what's been done in that field I'd never use it in the real world.
Have you come across people that take high levels of vitamin d as well as get plenty of sun, but whose levels are still less than 30? And further, this is happening to both a father and a son?

It's because generally, software developers don't have to deal with the downsides of MongoDB, ops people do. At a lot of companies it seems to be mostly developers picking technologies, so especially if they're inexperienced then they tend not to consider the other side of their decisions.
> marriage is between families too

I think that's highly culturally dependent. It may be the case in India, but I know someone (an American) who got married ten years ago. His family and his wife's family met at the wedding, but never before or since. There's no bad blood between them, they just don't know each other and have no reason to talk. I suspect this is common in most of the Anglosphere.
"Deeper the effects are the same" - total nonsense.

It's not perfect, but not awful either. Basically you have to catch the content and initialize it with the library using a hook:

For some people this starts in childhood. People see a sibling excelling in an area and decide to cultivate other traits instead, so they are not living in their shadow.

I discovered at a young age that I am a parrot - that I find it fairly straightforward to repeat back complex sound patterns to people. There are a couple families of language in SE Asia and Africa that trip me up, but other than that my coordination is unusual. It made parts of music and foreign language classes a non-event, which made more time to perfect other parts.

What I didn't know until much later is that my brother also has this trait, but he got tired of being "hinkley's younger brother", and he completely burnt out on music (although that was due to pressure from our parents) and foreign language by high school. I had a sense of this by the time he was picking a foreign language in HS, and I gently encouraged him to try a different language. He didn't. Our teacher always found the parrot trait highly fascinating, to the point of bringing it up in class. It turned out this had only happened a couple times in his career and here were two brothers back to back. I kind of laughed it off, while my brother found it pretty cringe-worthy and he eventually dropped the class.
I'm very conflicted about this. On the one hand, I recognize that there are potentially significant costs to be born to serve these repositories. On the other hand, making docker part of your infrastructure requires a certain degree of availability.

At some level this seems to me like using my IDE and after 6 hours it would stop working or finding that my CDNJS references to bootstrap stopped working after 6 hours of my site being up. I think it is exactly as if NPM or PIP were to stop working for the day if you included "too many" packages.

I don't really have a good feeling for how these new limits might impact setting up new dev/test environments so I'll likely switch from using specific images to using generic images to limit my exposure.

For example, at the moment, if I want a new dev container for a project in python, I'll FROM python:latest and supplement with pulls from support service containers like nginx:latest and postgres:latest.

Moving forward, it would seem a safer approach will be to use pull a single 18.04 image and run the required installs into them. This super bums me out though as it seems to bypass some of the nicer aspects of getting up and running with docker.
Thanks. It's hard to balance the strictly scientific with enough of the "softer" stuff to make it interesting for a wide audience.
> But my bet is that the future for ride hailing is one of hundreds of different competing local services around the world that focus on their locality, work directly with local officials and regulators, and provide good customer service while keeping overhead extremely low and operating profitably.

I would argue that this is Uber's bet also. I like to joke that Uber is sort of a ridesharing index fund, since they own large minority positions in nearly every competitor / market leader in localities in which they "lost" (Didi, Grab, Yandex).

That's a bit of a simplification, isn't it?

Here's the first major point of the article

> The human brain was primarily designed for face-to-face interaction. It hasn’t had time to adapt to communication over the internet.

> If you say something mean to my face and make me cry, you will probably start to feel uncomfortable. Unless you’re especially mean or psychopathic, my distress will trigger an empathic response and lead you to have mercy. If you tweet something mean and make me cry, no amount of emojis can convey what the sight of a grown man weeping can. If there is no social cue to elicit an empathic response, you might continue your tirade of meanness.

> The absence of nonverbal feedback leads to an “empathy deficit,” and this is what sociopaths suffer from.

-----------

So the first point made by the article is about the lack of instinctive empathy offered by the online environment. Without a face to see how the other person is reacting, we're blind to the subtle clues about their emotion.
