Ask HN: How strong is the YC community for alumni
What do they get right about building community for alumni? What could they do better?
Do you have anything I can read which contradicts his point on the cost of infrastructure spending? I'd like to see the counterpoint to his thesis.
Hmm yes I see how that could be useful as a kind of "pointer-to-key" setup. A key that is a ref to a non-keyable type would be invalid anyway...

I've added array types for arrays of common fixed-length types, but for records it gets complicated since it can only really work if all records are the same size. I could maybe expand array support to custom types for specialized applications that have a lot of record types (provided the custom record type is fixed size). But the primary purpose of the format is a way to allow disparate apps the ability to read each others data in a machine and human friendly way without requiring a bunch of extra pieces. A secondary concern is not trying to be everything for everyone, not complicating the format for too small a gain. But that's the trick, isn't it? (where to draw the line)

We already have that when you buy something and a security alarm goes off as you leave the store. You are assumed to be a criminal because a machine said so.
I had land pride as well third party implements. Land pride was easy only because the Kubota dealer person was there to help me. He came down as a favour on a Saturday. And he did it easily only because he was stronger than I.

Re: landpride: The pin to get the shaft to the spline is done blind and with strength. The quick hitch makes it easier to align it while reversing. It’s smarter and still very impractical.

The spader was tricker. I had to remove the quick hitch and tried to keep guessing the right alignment by playing around with the turnbuckle. (Also made me realize what a great investment the quick hitch was..)

And finally after I got it done, I couldn’t get it running even though the PTO was rotating. And I couldn’t figure out how get to the spader gearbox. And I gave up at that point.

Good point wrt taking the weight off the shaft..a height adjustable weight bearing device would do the trick. So simple but it didn’t strike me! Thanks!

No one has really mentioned mindfulness (the "muscle" or "skill" grown by the exercise of meditation)

It seems like the real question in this thread is "How do I avoid being distracted" more than anything else.

The best analogy I can give you is a good state of mindfulness is like a really strong windows task manager. You can actually see the processes of your mind, like thoughts popping up and begin to take up system resources. If you are mindful you can see this with much more clarity than if you don't have a meditation practice. With the clarity gives the side-effect of "control"
Certainly easier to identify plagiarism, although with something so specific it's probably not hard to detect anyway.
That doesn't jive with my experience. When I was growing up in Ontario, there was a program at my high school that put students going through the gifted program (from elementary) together with students who tested as excelling at math & science in grade 8 into the same program. I never felt like the "gifted" students as a cohort excelled in any significant way (overall grades, aptitude for any specific topic, etc). Now the data sample here is obviously small & anectodal, but to my knowledge this is supported by scientific studies on the topic of gifted programs.
And I don't have a nationwide perspective, so it might be different elsewhere, but every theater I've been to over the past decade or so has been slowly converging on that model.
Probably just somebody decided they didn't like him, and found some BS to charge him with.
I remember seeing later that he posted here begging for help because the cost of the defense for a federal crime (even though he’d likely win) was 1.5M, and the first comment was someone being nasty to him.

I remember the emails from MIT that showed the IT department going after him, and then when caught MIT choosing to do nothing rather than help.

Even JSTOR backed down rather than move forward.

It still makes me angry and MIT’s reputation was seriously harmed in my eyes because of it.

Journals blocking access to publicly funded research by extorting desperate academics for prestige is what’s wrong. It’s a broken system due to bad incentives that’s worse for everyone except the journals that enrich themselves on the back of publicly funded research, by locking it away and charging enormous rent.

The punishment was disproportionate to a crime that, while possibly illegal, was on the morally right side of a broken incentive structure. He didn’t even get the chance to put the articles up, he downloaded them from a network he had rightful access to. His main crime was leaving a laptop running in an open closet, and downloading more than they wanted.

Luckily Sci-Hub continued his work.

Maybe the worst part was after his suicide reading comments here about how you can only blame the person who committed suicide since no one else is responsible for the ultimate act.

If you choose not to see a causal link between the pressure of this prosecution and his death, I think that says more about your own motivated reasoning than it does about reality.

This was a failure of our community.
Less so in France: virtually everybody that would sip 2-3EUR coffees has a 19EUR cellular plan with unlimited data. And that's the price if you're not bundling and not playing off providers off eachother.

Many would argue this occurs in the medical field too - how ethical are the insurance companies of the US or the drugs companies of just about anywhere? (That being said, research is expensive and a national health system has its downsides too.)
As a developer, the compelling thing for me is not power but battery life. So I agree with your sentiment.

That is, as long as the price is right.
Isn’t the reason those few districts have big “profits” because they are the central business district where all the people from the outlying areas with big “losses” come in to work and shop?

This feels like looking at a company by division and deciding that R&D and HR a make huge losses and all the profits are in sales.
I'm not justifying it.

Talking about the normal behaviour of humanity is like talking about the normal outcome of addition. It depends entirely on the inputs.
This is the exact problem I'm talking about. Millions of people all are arbitraily classified as Germans or Turks just because they were born in a geographical region... most of them did not participate and had zero connection to any genocides.

But their free speech can be infringed upon simply because they've been labeled a certain way by other human beings, no matter how accurate or inaccurate.

As much as we would like to censor speech that sounds horrible to us you can't because it's such a slippery slope.

I don’t know your qualifications, but I doubt you were involved in the project. When I hear people upset about infrastructure giving armchair estimates of how long it should take or how expensive it should be, I just hear the uninformed project manager being outraged at the software engineers’ estimates. “And when their work was done I toured the station/software and it looked exactly the same!”

I’m sure there’s bureaucratic inefficiency. But there’s always so much nonsense that gets appended to the criticism.
For those who are familiar with Fort McNair in Washington, DC this is where Reed conducted his research. From wiki:

“A general hospital, the predecessor to the Walter Reed Army Medical Center, was located at the post from 1898 until 1909. Major Walter Reed found the area's marshlands an excellent site for his research on malaria. Reed's work contributed to the discovery of the cause of yellow fever. Reed died of peritonitis after an appendectomy at the post in 1902. The post dispensary and the visiting officers' quarters now occupy the buildings where Reed worked and died.”
Of course PCIe is a standard on Arm. (as are UEFI and ACPI)

On Linux, Nvidia officially supports their drivers on Arm for PCIe GPUs since... June 26, 2013 for 32-bit arm. (see https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/unix/linux-arm-display-...). For Arm 64-bit and PCIe GPUs, it's far more recent ( https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/unix/linux-aarch64-arch... )

I see your point, and agree that getting high off mushrooms isn't going to solve the climate crisis. Most people aren't arguing that instead of continuing to pursue renewable energy we should just take mushrooms instead.

But I would argue that psychedelic use, when done appropriately and carefully, can be a catalyst for changing collective ideologies that have lead us to the dangerous path that we are on.
Anecdotes aren't data for sure, but they can be helpful to build a mental model or explain a hypothesis. The argument would be much less clear if JoeAltmaier had simply said "I'm not sure" with no elaboration.
Ok, I see that you completely misunderstood what I'm talking about. I don't really care if the EU standardize a EU English based on translation mistakes present in official EU documents. For example the case you point to, "financial envelope" seems to be a direct translation from French (at least that's how it feels as a native French speaker). Drop it if you want, it's just a detail.

I'm talking about the way the language is used by European citizens.

Some of theme are quite funny if you're familiar with European languages :)

Procurement is one of the root causes, specifically running the procurement out of a government bureaucracy where the actual tactical outcomes (refurbishing the train station in the example above) are way down the list from other priorities such as the appearance of fairness in procurement, and other government aims like job creation etc.

Linus Torvalds interview by Robert X Cringely (1998) [video]
Most of the good spontaneous conversations I've had at work were previously on Slack anyway, for a couple of reasons:

- You're not interrupting someone / taking up their whole time. If you have a thought, they can wait until they're free to reply, and if you're both free at the same time you can have a good conversation. But you were still able to write out and communicate the thought.

- More people can join and provide input. I can always talk about things with a couple folks on my team, but it's super valuable to have someone from another part of the company pipe up and say "Hey, what about this" without having to consciously think of inviting them (and interrupting them, see the above point - the way to do this in person is to have extremely large "user group" meetings that are low value for their opportunity cost for most of the attendees).

- I can easily find people in other parts of the company / work across teams because teams tend to be in physically separate locations. It's super easy for me to run something past someone who works in the other building; it would take about 10 minutes of my time total to go there and back, and then I'd have to hope they're at their desk.

- This is something of a mixed blessing, but conversations are logged, so you can reference them later. To the example you give about chatting about things after a conference, I tend to write up what I've learned or ideas I've followed on and put them into Slack pretty quickly, with the expectation that we'll have a conversation about them at some later point but not immediately.

What I've been trying to do is to expand all of this and drive even more conversations to Slack. (To be clear: have the conversations in existing public channels, not in DMs, and avoid tagging people in. Also, do not expect people to read any particular conversation. Slack has a pretty good search feature, so if they ask about something later, link them to the previous discussion. I'm not at all advocating that you take up people's time with pings on Slack.) We do also have occasional video calls for higher-bandwidth conversations, but I've found they work best when they're structured as accelerators to an async written conversation and not as discussion forums in their own right.
it's due to the James Bond delay, and it's only a temporary closure...

This cites as an advantage over JSON:

> Unicode characters without encoding them

But JSON doesn’t generally require special encoding for unicode characters.

Technically, JSON is UTF-8 encoded, but that’s true of NestedText too so that can’t be what they mean.

Also, of JSON it says:

> in JSON 32 is an integer, 32.0 is the real version of 32...

But JSON doesn’t distinguish integer from real. It only has number.

On the format itself, I wonder if it needs some testing and hardening. The definition seems ambiguous, but maybe just needs a formal grammar. Just from reading it, tab handling seems like an issue. I think you could have documents that look right but have invisible issues due to tabs. E.g., it sounds like tab can be a character in a dictionary key name, which looks like indentation.
I find it interesting and perhaps telling that this comment is being down voted. I am wondering what an individual could take offense to. As far as I can tell I made two assertions:

1. Girls who are interested in STEM tend to abandon it at the high school / undergraduate level [factual]

2. That one factor in that may be a gender bias favoring males during this period in a students education. [well supported by academic research, though I presented the information casually and without citation]

If we can believe the research that there is a gender bias against males at the middle school level surely the opposite may also be true at the high school / college level where there are more male teachers.

Daniel Ek- The Observer Effect
"it needs to be changed", as in, someone else should change it but not you

(I am merely pointing out the paradox of inaction. Enacting change is a lot of work, so one must first decide to contribute actual work, then figure out what actual work needs to be done, then do the work and measure the result. Work = force * displacement and if nothing is displaced, no work has been achieved. Rosa Parks wanted change so she did the work. Snowden wanted change so he did the work.)
Lots of people in this thread are dismissive of big cineplexes and seem to be happy they're struggling. Maybe these companies are ruthless and evil, but to all the people who are thinking "yeah I just watch the movies in my basement and it's better" - I think you're missing the point.

I've lived in multiple cities where the movie theater wasn't just about watching movies. The racial makeup of my area is overwhelmingly white, but when I go to movies easily half the people in the theater are people of color. It's a constructive way for teenagers and younger people to spend their time and hang out, particularly if they come from poorer neighborhoods with limited options, or they have many siblings at home and they need a reprieve.

With the theaters, schools and other obvious young-person activities closed, petty crime where I live is way up, mostly being committed by young people of color. I can't say I'm surprised - without constructive things to do the young people will still find amusement. Young affluent teenagers have video games and entire basements to play them in. Poorer kids don't have those options.

Personally, I wish there'd be less glee over this and other closures. I was never a fan of the term "privilege" - but rich white tech people really do need a lesson in empathy.
As someone who lives in a hot climate the only metric I care about is my Macbook not being a hand heater. I miss the old Macbook Air and how nice the cool aluminium surface was under my palms. Every Macbook i've had since then has been uncomfortably sweaty and if this Apple Silicone can reduce the palm rest a few degrees then i'm sold. Of course, if they had put proper cooling in the new Macbook Air it would have done it as well. But gotta push people to those more expensive models every way you can right?

Perhaps it's a jurisdictional thing, then? Where I live, if it's in public, it's fair game. The only exception is when it's in public but there is a reasonable expectation of privacy. For example, even though a fenced backyard is outside, someone reaching a camera above the fence to record is an invasion of privacy. Recording someone in their unfenced front yard from the street is not an invasion of privacy, unless the recording was meant to record what's inside the house through the windows.
Totally agree with this. The iguanas have evolved to be able to totally subsist with what is in front of them and not strive for more. Their Maslow checklist is 100% complete :)
I've paid attention over the last few years to what is being said about psilocybin in pop media. It seems that the problem isn't as you said but rather that it isn't being used in a clinical setting with a qualified therapist where a patient under the influence may break through barriers preventing recovery.
In my experience, it's because people in the middle of nowhere are allowed to vote on infrastructure projects. They claim they don't want "their tax dollars" to pay for "them city slickers." The important bit they conveniently leave out is that cities majorly subsidize rural living through taxes.
