Let people decide for themselves what is best for themselves. We are not in the position to judge what is good/appropriate for everyone.
letting babies sleep alone is a modern parenting behavior. kids mostly used to sleep together with their parents before.

aside from that, older kids took care of younger kids, neighborhood groups took care of children together, older relatives who could no longer do hard work supervised the children...
Ask HN: Why are you using MongoDB?
After postgres has implemented JSON/JSONB support, I feel like there is no need to use mongodb and the likes. Given all other benefits of postgres (acid, tooling etc) it feels overall it's better suited for cases where you'd use mongo for.

I heard stories where people would just start with mongo and eventually migrate to more mature tech as they go, but that need seem to have evaporated.

Thoughts?
Do you have 2TB of RAM? 37TB of RAM?

What if 99.999% of that stuff isn’t actively used? Haven’t you then wasted all your money in buying all that RAM to store all that stuff you’ve never used since it was written the first time, in the hope that one day sometime in the future you might actually use it again?
Humans don't have LIDAR, they have only 2 eyes and not even radar. Yet they're able to drive pretty well, it's because they have great software to power that limited hardware.
Not only that, he's encouraging people to travel by automobile and to drink alcohol. These are two driving forces of the people are dying phenomenon.

I'm all for safe interaction, wearing a mask, social distancing and limiting social engagements but I'm more concerned with subtle and aggressive forms of authoritarian thought becoming mainstream.
HN Club – Substack for hners to jointly announce events for members
Many countries in the world are growing at a fast pace right now - there's less poverty that there was ever been.
Well, everyone has a sense of justice. Some people think that murder for "dissing" them or being too rich/white/gay/smart/stupid/etc is just and some think that smoking evil plants like tobacco is abomination and kills everyone who gets a whiff of smoke. We already have a solution for reconciling individual views on justice that works much better than what anarchists managed to show in their CHAZ/CHOP, for example.

This does not answer my question though. Why anarchists are not happy? Why can't they live in their desired society right now?
Shhh! The earthquake gods are listening...
When a civil engineer designs a structure that fails and kills people, not only are they held liable for the deaths, they stand to lose their licenses. In civil engineering, there is a culture of ensuring it never happens again after engineers design something that kills.

Who at Tesla was held liable for designing a system that failed and resulted in death? Who at Tesla lost their licenses in the wake of deaths caused by their self-driving systems? Where is the culture of ensuring that their cars don't kill anyone again?
I can think of one use.

Let's say you have two pointers that are sometimes unique and sometimes aliases. Maybe they mean semantically different things but they happen to be the same for some cases, and different in others. They always are on the heap. You want to clean them up when your function exits, freeing them both, or once if they are not unique.

free(p);
if (p != q)
free(q);

Believe it or not I have written something like this, although with integer file descriptors being closed rather than heap buffers freed. eg. Maybe some fds are passed for both reading or writing, or sometimes you have a unique fd for each, but it all needs to hit close(2).

To exist within the standard I guess you need to do the comparison first:

if (p != q)
free(p);
free(q);

Edit: ah, but you just said "cross-object pointer comparisons are UB". I can't see a good reason for that either, but I do suppose it might make some architecture's non-linear pointer representation work better.
Why are you forcing singup? Skip that, make it optional. When people are invited to an event send them a unique link tied to their email/phone number/WhatsApp or whatever. Create a long lived cookie that identifies them as that user. If someone really wants to create an account with a login and password let them, but don’t make them create yet another account to manage.

Edit: Also as you build the graph out, consider making all events private by default, and providing a what’s up feature that would let your friends/clique/circle/squad or whatever you are calling it know you are looking for plans tonight. Then let them opt you into visibility for their evening plans.

I think it’s funny that he got through the whole article without using the term Elo even once. Maybe because “AI” and Elo are incompatible?
Yours may be the finest argument for constructivism I have seen.
Main difference would be the time pressure. Our coding assignments could be done generally at our own pace, though of course there were deadlines. Also the "tricky algorithm" and "off the top of your head" aspects generally weren't there - of course way back when, there wasn't a whole lot of code public so you couldn't just copy off the internet. though of course some cheated and copied each other's work.

Perhaps universities should start acting like more like what the companies are testing for nowadays, in order to prepare their students better. Timed coding quizzes every week, automatically validated like HackerRank, Leetcode, etc.. It wouldn't even have to be these tricky algorithms - maybe just a something like implement quicksort, etc. (without using the API calls) in like 30 minutes.
We went from an article about the philosophy of anarchism to a question of how laws prevent crimes, then onto slavery I guess?

I would almost bet your next post will include a comparison to either hitler or nazi's.

I mean, I guess back then there were no port-a-potties, and probably didn’t have earthmovers to dig latrines fast (though with planning they could have). So from that PoV, I can see that happening —It still happens at overcrowded concert arenas.
I admire your optimism, but:

> Anecdotal of course but there are stories of foreign workers being promised one thing then receiving something else when they get there. It's difficult to complain when you can be sent home for doing so.

It's possible but very unlikely to be a problem over the long run with the means of communication nowadays. Everyone (even poor people) have access to mobile phones and can warn their peers/friends/communities if they happen to fall in such a trap.

From 2015..
This is a Matthew Yglesias book advertisement. It's an extremely partisan excerpt by a Vox co-founder who likes the controversy.
Argh! Yes, there's a lot of empty space in the U.S. but land area is not the limiting factor on population growth, and never has been. At the moment the limiting factor appears to be planet-wide carbon emissions, and we are already way past the point of sustainability with respect to that. We need to be talking about reducing the world's population, otherwise there will just be that many more people who have to suffer through the climate apocalypse that is surely coming.
In 2015..
Ah yes. This is correct. That became mandatory after I left.

MedShield Life is still quite restrictive in what it covers though. Even with half the population having additional private insurance, about a third of medical expenditure is out of pocket.

A consistent point of controversy in Singapore is how much MediShield funds the government keeps in surplus reserve.

Total medical expenditure in Singapore is also suppressed somewhat by people choosing not to have treatment.

I read somewhere that "butter side down" people write pieces easy for the "butter side up" crowd to dunk on.

The dunks amplify the message well beyond the attention the original author could muster.
I don't really mind links to other articles at the bottom of the article that I'm reading. I mean, yes, it's a kind of advertising, but it's not intrinsically intrusive. If a site brings up a modal popup while I'm scrolling an article saying "OMG ENTER YOUR EMAIL HERE TO GET NOTIFIED WHENEVER WE WRITE ANYTHING ABOUT ANYTHING [or click this tiny text that says "no" in the most passive-aggressive phrasing we could think of]", that's a different issue.

(I kind of wonder if internet advertising would be a lot less hated if it had developed with a culture of restraint rather than maximum in-your-faceness, although to be fair, I'm not sure how that could ever have happened.)
Jeremy finds your “comment” behind an anonymous name on a very public board to be extremely obnoxious and a prime example of the kind of online interaction that tends to sour me on OSS.
Waterhouse argues that the boundary between ASD and non-ASD conditions (such as ADHD, intellectual disability, epilepsy, etc) is invalid and needs to be abandoned. I'm not aware that anyone is making a really comparable argument with respect to cancer. Cancers derived from different organ tissues are usually clearly distinguishable from each other, something which is far less true when talking about different psychiatric/psychological/neurodevelopmental diagnoses.
Taking their ball and going home was never an option for them no matter how much the opponent cheated

This is weakness. Predators like the CCP smell it from a mile away, and exploit it masterfully. Every time the US engaged, a bunch of MBAs and connected people made billions shifting jobs to China, and the CCP infiltrated more operatives into US academia, which made them richer and more prepared. 50 years, and they haven't got any closer to being the open, democratic country they told us it'll become. Every president since Nixon is to blame, in an increasing manner. And now they have horrific technological tools to exert absolute control.

If engaging means the US has to basically sacrifice its remaining industry, job market, and patent pool, to appease the CCP, then it's not engaging, it's a protection racket, and a suicide.

was preferable to the alternative

Decoupling = war is a non sequitur. The CCP has nothing, and they know it, against US military projection. It's all a show. And many other countries, like Australia, and SE Asia ones, are waking up to this fact, and the shady oceanic CCP maneuvers.
Tcl is an aw some configuration language. Delete all the commands to make it non-Turing complete. Throw in infix assignment for ergonomics and you have a minimal configuration language that can be enhanced by adding back more commands as needed.
This has been Australia's secret sauce for the last 20 something years - growth by immigration has meant no recession, until now of course. Australias population was low, still is really.
It's also worth noting that, in general, Twitch chat is less toxic for Chess than other games/categories.

I do peruse Twitch fairly regularly looking for streams that resonate. I'm always repulsed by a "LET'S GO BOYS" mentality which meanders between homophobia, sexism, bullying, hate speech.

Chess is a very good thing for Twitch.
That part doesn't follow from the metaphor.

And as far as operational security is concerned, this fixates on just that one threat that the author talks about at the end, which depends on weak password.
It seems to me that squat, deadlift, and an agility test would probably cover that.
I don't disagree with you, I was just chuckling at the suggestion that heat that created the electricity could be "re-used".

As you note, waste heat is the heat that is left over after you've used some of it. The part you used is no longer heat (it may be electricity it may be kinetic or potential energy, it might even be chemical energy, but it isn't "heat" any more).

One of the coolest uses of ambient heat I've seen so far has been the new heat pump water heaters, they cool your garage as they pull latent heat into the water inside the tank. The trick though is that your garage gets cooler :-) (i.e. the heat has gone elsewhere).

There are also some pretty cool thermo-electric solutions where you stick a device on the indoors side of a window to the out of doors. It uses the delta between the window glass temperature and the indoor temperature to power a simple sensor. Not as useful on double glazed windows but awesome for single pane ones.

What's the point of slowly moving pieces of wood when everything fits in RAM
Their comment addresses the fundamental substance of the submission. It's as if someone started their sunscreen door to door business in January: The fundamental timing is broken.
> Self driving can and likely will eventually save lives.

And yet there is no evidence of these assertions other than wishful thinking.

There is no evidence that self-driving systems are safer than humans, so there is no reason to treat them as if they are. In fact, compared to other luxury vehicles, Tesla vehicles are involved in more accidents.

The medical world is extremely conservative. The FDA has incredibly high standards to meet, thankfully, and demands ample scientific evidence for the medicines and treatments it approves.

"Move fast and break things" doesn't exist in the medical world, but it does exist outside of it in the form of unregulated supplements and illegal procedures and distribution of medication. People are routinely made into victims of this market just so someone can make a quick buck.
When I was born in 1972, the global population was roughly half of what it is now. It was like living in a world after Thanatos snapped his fingers... I'm not sure how they were able to survive.

In [another 50] years the population will double again, and everyone then will look back at today and be amazed there were so few people. They'll make a movie where there's "only" 7.8 billion people left and it'll be a blockbuster.

(Assuming there's still a functioning democracy then.)

It could mean that 97% of the trips had an predictive error of, say, 2 minutes, while the remaining 3% had an error of, say, 10 minutes, and they reduced that error to 5 minutes.
To be fair, the article did actually suggest an etiological difference between "high-functioning" and "the most severely disabled" cases.

From TFA:

"Investigating the most severely disabled autistic individuals you almost always discover damaging genetic mutations or early life trauma, such as foetal alcohol syndrome. These are clear cases of biological dysfunction. On the other hand, the less severely disabled individuals (who would once have been called Asperger’s or “high-functioning”) show none of those biological signs of dysfunction, instead showing evidence we expect from functional adaptations: the associated genes are common and complex, brain differences are subtle, the characteristics appear early in life when they are guaranteed to affect reproduction, and the prevalence is high enough that at least one person per Dunbar-sized hunter-gatherer social group of one hundred and fifty would show the same traits – in which case, every one of our ancestors would have known an autistic person. These biological signs are those we expect to see from adaptations, not dysfunction. The question we are led to ask is what autism’s function could have been."
To be honest I just don't understand how what is shown could be legal -- Having a beta software on something that could easily kill, making the drivers/passengers other road users lab rats and beta-testers.
I do admire what Musk did with SpaceX, but the 'self-driving' aspect of Tesla is just disgusting.
I suggest you read about the European Coal and Steel Community after WW2.

Post-war European democracies and CCP China are apples to oranges. Not only in the freedom and democracy ratings sense. The EU has still to makes leaps in terms of becoming a union, and they're geographically next to each other, and culturally close, to a level the US and China will never be.
With the same logic we should add 1850 Million more Russians. The number will keep them warn in the tundra.

> She simply argues that the symptoms are caused by numerous unknown diverse causes in the brain, and the concept of a single disorder (ASD), or even a spectrum of related disorders (ASDs, the DSM-IV PDDs, and more recent ASD sub-typing proposals), isn't helpful in understanding those causes.

I think this is a dangerous misunderstanding of the reason for the grouping of autism-spectrum disorders under a common umbrella. The danger lies in the (all-too-common) tendency of people to think that the rejection of autism's categories means "autism doesn't exist" or something similar. The purpose of such categories is not to help understand the causes, but to help cement the reality that autism is a group of very serious disorders with similar traits.

As an analogy, many cancers that are grouped under a single name -- such as breast cancer -- are actually caused by very different genetic alterations. To use these differences as a justification to reject the concept of breast cancer would be ludicrous.

It is rich people that pollute the most, so our objective should be focused on reducing negative externalities, especially reducing excessive consumption(which correspond to pollution) that don't contribute to our quality of life.

Remember, the sun gives more energy in an hour to the earth than our entire civilization consume in an entire year. It's clearly not a resource problem.
Thank you! You are right, I should. I will not mention this any more, just this one last time: I honestly just have no clue why politics is so pervasive, and I would like it if people did not read too much into it, and I would like to think that it does not say anything about my political views. :D

I tend to not share my political views anywhere, especially not on Twitter. I do not even own a Twitter account! If I express my beliefs, it is under a pseudonym. Sometimes I even argue in favor of something with what I disagree only to learn more.
Yeah Kubernetes only uses cpusets to pin workload to cores and only when you have this enabled explicitly. Sched_setaffinity is separate mechanism not used by k8s

99% of typical kubernetes workloads dont need those kind of latency requirements and it maybe be detrimental for their throughput to only use subset of cores (classic throughput vs latency tradeoff).
They talk about blind trials being better, but then:

How exactly can knowing which group you're in cause a placebo effect or any other relevant effect in that case?

Let's not get ahead of ourselves here -- antidepressants don't really have an effect. If a person was feeling suicidal before, they would certainly not stop feeling this way after taking SSRIs. Symptoms of depression is our psyche showing us that something going on in our lives is not going well, and using drugs to suppress these feelings is the worst thing I can think of that modern medicine came up with.
You make it sound like its likely or probable that heartbleed was an intentional backdoor, which is not at all proven.

This is something I always thought as a kid. Just look at a map... why arent there like a billion people in the US? This makes sense to a child because it's so simple. But reality is more complicated.

2/3rds of the US lives east of the Mississippi river. So if we had that level of density across the US, we would have 650m people. So east of the Mississippi is pretty close to being populated at that level.

The central plains is rapidly draining the water table. So it's unlikely we'll be able to continue farming it at the rate we have been (unless technology improves to reduce water usage), much less increase output. To illustate this, I love this image in [0] figure 2 on the first page. Water in an aquifer is stored in small cavities in the rock/soil/etc, and when you drain it enough, the ground literally collapses.. meaning you can never refill it. Our farmers now have to drill deeper than every before, and some farmers are just put out of business entirely... and that's today.

And the west is arguably already overpopulated. We literally drain the Colorado river. We already need more desalination plants as it is.

If we put a billion people in the US, it would look very much like China. China has a similar geography problem. So when you imagine the US with a billion people, just imagine them all packed in on the east coast with some of the same problems as China (food supply, pollution, etc).
