Only if Charles Manson was still roaming free around the US and it's neighbours like if nothing had ever happened and nobody cared that he was an insane sadistic psycopath. General Butt Naked's story is an amazing glimpse in to what is Liberia, and Africa as a whole to some extent, today. To me that is very interesting.

Then you pay for a taxi, bus, or some other mode of transportation unless you're prepared to pay both financially and emotionally for any incident you wind up causing. Both for yourself and everyone else affected.

It's really not that complicated. Stop making choices for other people that could cause them to wind up injured or killed. Because yes, that is in fact what you're saying to do here.

You bring up some very good points. But to those, I have a question: what is the alternative? Both now (for UK healthcare), and in general?

The "people who previously had zero computing power at their disposal" may be wrong in thinking "they've found the hammer that solves all problems" - but there's literally no other hammer available for them. They're not programmers, they won't write their own software (nor would they be allowed to). Any other option involves so much organizational overhead - both initial and ongoing - that it's a non-starter.

I agree that people routinely use Excel way beyond their own skills. But I haven't heard of any viable alternative.

I think the awful idea is paying $100 for something that costs well over 20-30x that cost new, according to the article, and expecting it to work without investing a significant amount of time and money.
nice, removeprefix/suffix is so pythonic. Great addition I've seen handrolled implementations of that go buggy because they happened to work in some cases but broke others.
The Competitive Enterprise Institute is an industry advocacy group, with ties to Koch, coal, tobacco.

https://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Competitive_Enterprise...

Their "scientists" have no relevant credentials and are actually "public policy advisors", and usually spread their opinions across multiple unrelated fields (which happens to coincide with whatever disinformation they're trying to spread).

I recently encountered them on Reddit, where people were trying to say the Australian bushfires were just caused by arsonists; these people are from the US and have no idea what's going on in Australia (how did they uncover evidence of arson before the local police?), there was absolutely no evidence for arson, and it didn't explain why it spread so far & rapidly.

Please make sure you get your information from credible sources; as in, sources without a vested interest in industries that have a long history in disinformation campaigns.
Unbelievable, you understand that Unix is developed out of free time to play games and not as a requirement right?

If you had a say you might point to Multics and shutdown the Unix project altogether, fortunately, you did not.
It's not the meaning so much as the choice of prepositions. When you say "deter X from Y", usually Y is the thing being reduced/prevented and X is the actor who is now less likely to Y.

So the use of "[action] deterred from [region the action might occur in" was surprising and possibly incorrect. If you'd said "[...] deterred in [...]", it would have been perfectly grammatical English.

It's a weird nit to pick in such harsh language, especially on a comment section that's more likely than the typical HN comment page to attract people who are not native English speakers.
there's virtue to having smaller isolated components when possible. kind of a weird example, but the other day I tried to make a huge table responsive (that needed to be paginated badly, but that was an issue out of my reach) - I found out that chrome actually maxes out at 1000 rows for display:grid, and then your layout just breaks. I converted it to flexbox and getting it to look the way I wanted was way easier than I expected, plus I could support ie11 without having to do the weird ms grid syntax. I imagine it's also faster for the browser

Really interesting article. Still two questions about the economics that I don't understand:

1/ Why no economies of scale? Why aren't there companies that own 100k machines throughout the country?

2/ Why don't the venues run their own vending machines?
I did something similar some years ago as a personal project to keep an usable and searchable local copy of the interesting stuff found online: a web app that fetch Pocket read later list, convert the articles to pdf stripping not useful parts (and ads), archive them in a Dropbox folder and finally delete the Pocket elements themselves to keep the list clear (and obtain a little more privacy).

Soon I will get a new e-reader, perhaps I could refresh and publish it on GitHub :)

That's an ungenerous reading of the comment. They would agree that falling asleep at the wheel is unsafe.

We've designed a system, however, that is set up such that it's bound to happen sometimes. Not everyone can call in to work and tell their boss "sorry, I slept badly last night, I'm not coming in" or order a $60 Uber to get somewhere on a whim. Moralizing at people is just virtue signaling.

I’d guess they wrote a script to merge the csv file and export in xls. Xls might have been the default of the library they used in a rush. I think this may be the case with some python libraries that generate excel files as xlsx is a more complicated format.

I would argue that a car is totally a privilege that is above that of finding other means of transportation. I couldn't even afford one until I graduated college and was working full-time.

It's the distributed networking equivalent of programming with managed versus unmanaged memory.

With Akka you manage objects actively, much like memory in C, with Orleans your objects behave much like normal Dotnet/Java objects, they are just distributed and must use async methods. Orleans adds a layer of management, where it will tear down and re-instantiate objects as required, distributes them in the cluster, etc. As a programmer you don't have to worry about it, it's all managed by the runtime.
It doesn't replace the `lstrip` or `rstrip` methods; it replaces the need for an `if` statement using `startswith` and `endswith` methods.

if "foobar".startswith("foo"): "foobar"[len("foo"):]
Oh, the old Google Custom Search Engine is still around, rebranded. Think it was called also Google Co-Op once.

I used it for some hacks i.e.: a people search engine once. And some SEO indexing checks before Google Search Console existed. Became pretty useless as the index was then seperated from the real Google Index.

Looking at it there is a way to upload XML files. Mhmmmmm... prop. good starting point for the next Google Bug Bounty Hunt.
Most engineers are bad at engineering too. That's just the natural distribution of all professions. Managers are not special, their incompetence is just felt more directly and viscerally.
Sure, but I was specifically replying to the context where one might consider using LCGs. I can think of few cases where the performance requirements are so tight that one would consider those but PCG or XorShift* is out of the question as an alternative.

Here is an excellent video about this subject (in French, but the auto-translate subtitles are understandable) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yeX_Zs7zztY

To summarize:

- The first two thirds of the video is a retelling of the story, the last third is an analysis of the data

- There are two problems in the original paper: a weird way of computing averages, and a mistake in their Excel file.

- There is a correlation, but it is weak (R2=0.04), and if there is an inflection point, it is around 30-40%, not 90%.

- That paper is likely to have been selected by politicians to support their policies instead of influencing them (confirmation bias).
> For most people, the other option is to stop driving to work and then be jobless and eventually homeless, make their kids go hungry, or go bankrupt.

You say that as if there weren't any other options. You have public transport and you can share a car (and expenses) with someone who has your same destination.

> For most people, it's a life and family destroying sentence.

Dying in a car accident is literally a death sentence and has worse implications for your family.
I empathize, but this is still rationalization.

Having children is a choice, and sometimes people back themselves into untenable situations. You can't use children as an excuse to put the lives of others at risk. Realize what you're saying here.

People driving cars they can't afford to upkeep are also risking themselves and others.

Yes, it sucks. I empathize. I shouldn't be throwing stones. But if I'm a juror on a vehicular homicide case I'm not going to think less of deaths that were caused because the defendant had children to take to school. It would be more compelling than a DUI case, but it doesn't bring people back to life.

Some litigation is more complicated and technical than most other litigation. Generally in such cases both plaintiffs and defendants want a judge experienced in that type of case.

Many district use random assignment for most cases, but for those more complicated and technical cases, try to assign them to a judge that has experience with them.

Patent litigation is one such type of litigation.

Not every string uses the same amount of content bits per character.

If you use only numbers you use 3 1/2 bit per character, if you use only numbers, uppercase letters and some limited punctuation it’s 5 1/2 bits per character. Otherwise it’s 8 bits per character but that’s a waste because most of the characters you can then represent can’t be used in a URL.

Checking local laws where the car was demonstrated, it appears that it is not actually mandatory that skirt wearers put their legs up on the ottoman. While local police may harass you anyway, there is sufficient leg room to place your legs in the space between the edge of the seat and the ottoman.

I’m not understanding.
While I agree with the concern, I think there's almost zero chance that a neural net trained on people looking at phones would classify a driver looking at hand controls as that same thing. The neural net would more likely have another classification of "unknown attention", being unable to conclusively classify the driver's attention.
It would also be a lot easier if the majority of your machines were identical. The majority of vending machine products have a LONG shelf-life. So if you stock a truck with all of the things that all of your machines carry, you don't have to take the step that the article alluded to where you take stock and then go get the supplies. You'd just have all the possibilities on hand and restocking the truck only happens maybe once a week once you get a good idea of the flow of the individual products. It seems very feasible to me that 2 people could service that many machines. Especially if you're willing to work 12-16 hour days some days.
Your anecdote reminds me of my experience in Salt Lake City. When I lived and worked in SLC back during the mid and late 90s, light rail was being proposed, especially with 2002 Olympic Games bearing down. Politicians proposed a simple north-south grid with some east-west connections. Well, the residents were up in arms! How dare you take away our right to driving in heavy traffic on i15. Fast forward 18 years and light rail has been such a huge success in SLC, people have fought for a spur to come to their neighborhood. This is another example of an infrastructure project that was good for all, not just a few profiteering politicians and contractors. Say what you will, but those Mormons know how to manage their municipalities (no offense to people of the LDS Church).

> You say that as if there weren't any other options. You have public transport and you can share a car (and expenses) with someone who has your same destination.

So, how does this work, exactly? So you set up carpooling with a coworker. And then one day you don't sleep well. Luckily enough, they're there to pick you up so you don't have to drive! ...but what happens when it's your turn to drive? You tell them, whoops, I'm tired today, so you're going to have to drive and get your spouse to change their plans so that you have access to a car? Or maybe they're always the one driving... what happens on days that they're tired? They cancel and you both have to find your own way via public transit?

Like what are the specific logistics here, accounting for failure modes? Does it amount to "spend $100 on Uber on days after a mediocre night's sleep"?
In one paragraph you've conveyed my point better than I could across multiple comments. This is the heart of what I was getting at.

This, and the fact that the HN demographic, mostly being techies, seem to be a bit disconnected from what real life looks like to 80%+ of the population of the world. A few instances per year of not coming in to work due to poor sleep or having to order Uber wouldn't just inconvenicence them - it would completely destroy their lives along with their children/families. People are doing what they need to do to survive and look after their loved ones.

No, it's not related to Darling, but it did provoke the question for me of whether it is [legally] possible to 'upgrade' an original Mac to modern components and still have it be considered a Mac. Clearly a hard drive, ram replacement, and video card replacement are acceptable, CPU if it happens to be replaceable, keyboard, mouse, monitor. Really the only thing that might remain is the motherboard. But if you kept that and replaced anything else, shouldn't that could as still being a Mac?

Why is this downvoted? It’s accurate - healthy, mobile-able individuals don’t get pressure ulcers. You’ll shift your weight and move around enough to avoid any damage.

It’s folks who are bedridden and don’t have the ability to move themselves around that get pressure ulcers. Combine that with poor circulation and potential nerve damage (diabetes) and it’s not hard to do.

Probably most of my old family members in Europe would say that the people of different skin colors are of different races. It's just like that, because it is common to hear/read about human races in songs/books/tv/radio/whenever. At the same time they do not hold any negative biases towards them; thinking of them as different, but not worse or better, just incomparable. It is an erroneous view but it does not entail discrimination/hatred/prosecution/etc based on the skin color.

Answering your objection from the pragmatist point of view:
obviously their behavior somehow depends on they belief in human races, but it doesn't have to be a negative effect. I believe that my aunt would be extra nice to a black person, as she is very hospitable especially to people from far away and she would assume a black person in her country has to be some kind of immigrant.

A similar case is sex, believing there are two different sexes doesn't entail sexism. Per analogiam: believing there are different races doesn't entail racism.
> Facebook Messenger has the best UX paradigm for this I've seen

Viber had a similar thing long before FB's messenger: single gray check mark character if the message is sent, double gray check mark if it is received by the recipient and double check mark in purple if it is seen.

The only issue is with the purple color of the "seen" as it can sometimes blend into an image behind it (if the message was consisting of an image).
You are absolutely correct. Patent law is a specialized legal field and having experienced judges is a plus for everyone, because it creates certainty that the parties can rely on when making business decisions. This judge has implemented some interesting local rules that are aimed at decreasing litigation costs at the outset of the case. There is nothing here that says this judge is biased towards patent owners or accused infringers (and I can attest to that, knowing Judge Albright personally). I would have no trouble advising my client sued in this district that they will get a fair shake if the case has no merit.

There is a downside though, where this differs from SDNY and bankruptcy. Patent law could benefit from major reform to eliminate abusive lawsuits and decrease transactional costs of enforcement and defense. Because patent owners can still shop around for some lawsuits, a judge trying to build a docket like this does not have an incentive to implement that major reform from the ground up. Any reform would only be tweaks, not paradigm shifts (like the local rules mentioned above). The problem is akin to regulatory capture.
Wouldn't compiler selective enforcement achieve the same goal? It seems to me the difference is that other programs can be implemented to do the typechecking (eg mypy) rather than the compiler doing so itself
