Classifying the 形容動詞 stem as a noun is kind of nice for ... not getting a very confused intuition on what they do and how they work, because they really are more like 名詞 and/or nouns in most senses†. Choosing to classify 形容詞 as a kind of verb is a bit of an odder, best-kind-of-correct sort of take, since their conjugation paradigm is a bit removed from the usual "verb" paradigms, and it makes me kind of wonder whether they'd call the stems of サ変 compounds "su(ru)-nouns". But it's kind of a logical step to jump to if you're going to call 形容動詞 "na-nouns", I guess.

(The page gets 形容動詞 and 形容詞 mixed up, though, which isn't a great sign.)

As for why you'd want to avoid calling them adjectives, basically, calling both "adjectives" would make it sound like these two groups kinds of lemmas make up a coherent lexical category. At least for anglophones, "adjective" is a word that only comes when discussing "grammar", and that carries the implication that the "adjective" classification has something to do with "grammar".

It's not. There is no morphological similarity between 形容詞 and 形容動詞; the similarity between them is purely semantic (and rather tenuous at that). The similarity between them and adjectives is likewise semantic, not morphological: they happen to be groupings of mostly descriptive words. And adjectives, likewise, happen to be a grouping of mostly descriptive words. But the word "adjective" reaches at a different characterizing property that makes bad abstraction: "adjectives" are actually almost a coherent word class.

Frankly, seeing the contortions people hallucinate up when they bring preconceived notions about how "adjectives" work, I can kind of sympathize with an attempt to drill in the point that 形容動詞 stems are basically nouns, 形容詞 are basically verbs, and avoid all the nonsense around the concept of "adjectives".

†There are a few features where nouns that refer to descriptive traits often differ from nouns that describe concrete objects (not to mention all the grammatical nouns—to wit, every single loanword—that are harder to classify as "things"), but the ability to form a 連体形 with -な certainly doesn't make a clean cut of them. There are at least fair few that prefer to take -の while being semantically descriptive, for one, and a handful of more exotic types.
This sounds like it might be an interesting book.

I think the overall changes we'll need will be massive. Changing to reduce meat, move away from fossil fuels towards more renewables, more public transportation, more remote work, less global shipping, reduction in energy usage, reduction in population? I wonder how much is covered in the novel.
This site is a great idea. If you work at it I believe you can make it a financial success.
You do realize this is exactly what my mother told me throughout my childhood right?

And this is what my nieces and nephew are told.

We don't really have to imagine what it feels like to be marginalized. In your own words, we already are.

Positive in terms of increasing case numbers, yes.
We need to just use fewer plastics because they're practically worthless for recycling.
Almost all plastic is just garbage. Full stop.

Cardboard and paper products recycle pretty well. So does aluminum and some glass bottles.

We need to use more glass bottles and other reusable containers when we go shopping.

The Canadian government is planning to ban single use plastics like bags and containers in 2021 and I’m on board. Even if it costs more it’s just the right thing to do.
Twitter is, though
Extending these types of examples to 100 doors with 99 goats of which Monty opens 98 makes it even easier.
It's probably really difficult to judge his perspective from here and now-- that was written in a time before air conditioning and forced ventilation along with inexpensive clear glass made it reasonable to close windows. It was a time before noise ordinances which are ubiquitous in the developed world today.
Great work Adrian and congrats on launching! Some design feedback which you can feel free to consider or totally ignore, I am by no means an expert;

I’m not a fan of the horizontal slider on a short page with almost no vertical height. I also don’t like how each tile doesn’t even fill the width of the screen. It’s much easier and faster for me the scroll vertically than horizontally. This really made the landing page not work for me visually and functionally to the point where I might bounce.

I don’t understand why you’re showing me a cast iron pan, socks, a jacket, a water bottle, a pocket knife...
It seems very random. It made me think those were the items that were on sale?

On the landing page tiles, the way you show the score on the tile, was visually confusing for me. At first I thought it was a price, then I thought maybe a count or a timer or a bid or something? I’m still not quite sure what it is. If it’s upvotes and you’re trying to show hot products this month, consider stealing some design elements from ProductHunt - you’ll see how they make the count an obvious upvote, and they label the section so you can understand why those 3 things are being shown.

Now, your Discover page layout on the other hand is a lot stronger in my opinion. The information layout was a lot easier to understand, it was easy to scroll through, and although I’m sure you have some algorithm for what order they are shown it didn’t feel like specific ones were being pushed.

You might strongly consider just making the Discover page your home page and and just leading with that!

I wonder if you measured percent of unique visitors that performed a search, or average number of items viewed, you would see a huge boost for new visitors who arrived directly on the Discover page versus the current landing page.

If you did this A/B test and wrote about it you’d probably get another shot at the HN front page too.

I think your biggest challenge will be crowdsourcing more product entries. You’re probably well below critical mass where visitors are likely to find something in a given category they’re looking for.

But the core idea of buying specifically for longevity and quality in order to appreciate long term value I think is a great concept.

Just thinking off the top of my head I’d want see products in all of the following categories;

Electronics (Charging cables, rechargeable batteries, maybe data storage)
Tools (Essential tools everyone should have 1 of)
Household items, from pillows and blankets to fans and trash bins, to personal care like quality brushes and beard trimmers.

I could go on and on, somehow you need to entice or fund the buildout of the database.

I assume you monetize through Amazon product links?
Emissions per kg of stainless steel is about the same as emissions per kg of plastic.

It never sat right with me that a recyclable plastic pen is somehow more environmentally friendly than a steel pen that could last decades.
It was a hassle for the 360 as well, you had to plug the drive into a PC first and run a homebrew tool to "bless" the drive so that it would work with the console

To add, nerds are not always the programmers. There are plenty of people from finance who do the same. Sometimes the CEO, who has a sales background, gets a little too obsessed with the technology behind the product and doesn't explain what problem it solves.

There's a cliche that the ideal founding team is a hacker (dev), a hustler (business), and a hipster (UX). When a team misses out on the hipster founder, these things happen.

Watching this made me very sad. I feel like I've been lied to my entire life. Of course, I'm also to blame for not spending more time seeking out the truth. Marketing is indeed very effective. This show changed my perspective and has made me want to redouble my efforts with regard to my impact on the environment.
Whether someone can do a job is a mix of experience and potential (y-intercept and slope). It’s difficult for interviewers to assess potential so many rely on experience as the key indicator.

It’s difficult for candidates from disadvantaged to show the same level of experience as candidates from non-disadvantaged backgrounds. Therefore candidates from disadvantaged backgrounds are systematically segmented out from the hiring pool.

Well-run diversity programs aim to better assess the potential of disadvantaged candidates and there are a variety of indicators for success.
i've had this thought as well
When I was first learning Japanese, the way people taught these concepts definitely felt suspicious - while verbs and adjectives is how we’d explain the concepts in English, the terms don’t seem to fit as neatly into Japanese - unsurprising given that the classification comes from a different linguistic tradition. This seems to focus more on how these forms conjugate, as you mentioned. That said, my intuition is that this format might produce equally as confusing patterns.
And where is the south on the conversation for race, especially Asians and other minorities?
There’s no parts supply or third party sources of most components, so I’d guess that you’ll have cars off the road for stupid part failures before the drivetrain is caput.

Now I'm wondering if you joke was not actually a joke.
The elephant in the room is that due to rather dark times in the U.S. history, there are cultural differences between an average Black and an average White family. It doesn't mean that every family of a certain race will fit the stereotype, but if you look at numbers, they do check out. This isn't fair, this isn't nice, but it's a very important piece of the puzzle and you cannot solve the problem without admitting it.

Many of these cultural differences are crucial to getting high-paid positions. Like nagging on your kids to study. Like making sure their role models are scientists and inventors, and not gang leaders. Like stressing out delayed gratification and showing how planning and persistence pays off in long term.

If you look very carefully at company founders and people on high-paying jobs, almost every one of them will be from a family with these long-term values. Many Blacks have adopted these values and are successful. Nobody is telling them to go to a different drinking fountain, it's not 1930s anymore. So if you want to fix the problem for good, you need to advertise these values more, teach them at school, and give good examples. Maybe, remove roadblocks like providing free textbooks programming lessons for those in need. Unfortunately, this takes time, effort and only pays off for the next generation. So the racial equality movement has been hijacked by politicians that offer a short-term solution: divide people by the most visible factor, such as skin color, then take from the overrepresented and give to the underrepresented.

Except in the long term, it makes the society more divisive. If you hire a weaker candidate based on quotas, other employees will see the weakness and won't respect them. The employee will perceive this as racism and get offensive. If you try to further address it by promotion quotas, you start getting cliques where Blacks always side with other Blacks, and Whites always side with Whites. You've just created racism out of nowhere.
Fraud is not protected speech, so you are correct, free speech does not apply?

Are you really arguing there should never be any legs consequences for text/speech? If so, so many laws would no longer apply - fraud, harassment, false advertisement, perjury, racketeering... hell, you couldn't even convict someone of hiring a hit man to kill someone, because it was just words telling the guy to kill someone for money!
> But QUIC Datagrams do have ACKs, and don't have retries. Maybe we don't want them to have ACKs, but as long as it's opt-in, is that not enough for the upper layers?

Imagine the following: The users writes a few bytes on a stream, those get immediately transmitted and lost. Before the retransmission, the user enqueues more data.

The Quic implementation has now the opportunity to merge everything into a single Quic "packet", and even a single Quic "frame", and send everything together. If those things were on top of datagrams, it might need to send the whole datagram again?

There are also other scenarios: E.g. the stream getting reset while transmission is in progress. If that happens none of those data chunks will ever have to be retransmitted. I feel like having an additional layer here will make this harder and less efficient.

> And I don't think connection establishment uses any sort of stream abstraction either since people speak of n-packet handshakes?

It does! All the TLS/handshake data is transferred in CRYPTO frames (https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-quic-transport-30#sec...). CRYPTO frames are more or less the same as STREAM frames (https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-quic-transport-30#sec...). They both represent an ordered reliable byte stream - just in different namespaces.

This is important for the handshake, since the TLS implementation will act on this ordered stream data and kind of treat it as a TLS data over TCP stream.

If you're struggling with mental health issues, I highly recommend speaking with a qualified professional.

This does not necessarily mean you will end up on medication. There are tons of things that you may not know how to leverage that can improve your mental health and overall happiness.

Know that it will take some shopping around. As with any doctor, do your homework, ask friends, and don't stick with one until they "feel right". The modern world is hell on brains that evolved to fit a very different environment than the one in which we live today, and it can take a lot of work to structure your life to deal with that.

Also, remember be both kind to and honest with yourself.

It can be so easy to beat yourself up when you fail or fall down, or to try and shift the blame to other people, but these are both anti-patterns.

Nobody makes every shot they take. Especially when you are learning. Pick yourself up, take a breather, think on what your next step is, and get back in the game.
If we split the cycle time in two components, one is transistor and one is interconnect. Interconnect delay per length increases as much as the length decreases in each shrink. The transistor delay halves. That halving got transistor delay below the interconnection delay, so doubling that got huge improvements. Also for IPC there is diminishing returns, and easily available improvements got eaten early, and everyone is chasing diminishing returns. The Pentium PRO brought OoO and went from 2 to 3 decode and from 2 to 4 micro-ops/second. Core 2 went from 1 to 2 FP pipelines.
Everyone is hitting the same issues, O(n^2) power and die costs for some structures widening things, but smaller fraction of code getting improved by widening. But it isn't all, it also increases latency which is either lower clocks or increased branch missprediction penalty.

Improving CPU:s has become harder simply because all the easier things have been done, and cost of improving one metric often causes worsening another thing slightly.

edit:
Just to add, it isn't impossible to improve, but it's just has become harder. And this knowledge was part of reason why until I saw actual benchmarks I wasn't too interested in upgrading. I just found out the one thing I cared had gotten much better during that period.

Clients can refuse pushed requests (e.g. if they match filtering rules), so it's not like the server will push the full files through. It'd be interesting to check if clients do take e.g. OS settings about metering into account and disable push entirely to even avoid the initial transfer.

Yeah I mean I used to drive a Mustang and got unsolicited compliments all the time. It was a fun car to drive. I have an Accord now. Its fine. its reliable. Its lacking a 1000 watt stereo and wont push me back into the seats, and while I do wax it as well, I dont get the pride of polishing something beautiful.

I wouldn't really call it better, just... different.
California is pursuing similiar bans on single use plastics, and some are already banned in certain metro areas. Unfortunately, it seems like various restaurants and stores have simply started to distribute "non-single use" versions of the takeout containers and plastic bags which are more robust (ie. use more material), however, its likely these simply get discarded anyways which makes the problem worse. Other than the round "deli" containers which are great and I actually re-use. Only a few restaurants have switched to glass canning jars which can be reused easily, given away or recycled.
I can never decide whether to recycle or just throw plastic in the trash.

If I throw it in the trash, I know it's at least going to go to a well-managed landfill and has a negligible chance of ending up in a river somewhere overseas, and then into the ocean.

Plus, the feedback feels more accurate. The feeling of how much non-degradable trash I'm creating hits viscerally when I throw plastic in the bin, and makes it hurt more to buy plastic.

I end up using the recycling because my flatmates get angry when I don't.
I agree that this feels like a critical misstep. Casual gamers will not want an over the top design in their living room. Maybe they are intentionally ignoring that market with this generation, but I was thinking of upgrading my PS3 and am having second thoughts because this thing is, well, a bit silly looking. It looks like a movie prop for a sci-fi film.
Looks like the case was settled fairly quickly, so exactly what the claims were aren't as clear, and whether or not the API is part of the settlement depends on the exact details of that contract which aren't public.

Consider two things:

A. The kinds of expression protected under U.S. law

B. The kinds of expression which should be protected according to the principles of freedom of speech

The point is that, because A and B are separate things, the fact that impersonating an FBI officer is not protected under US law[1] does not entail that impersonating an FBI officer should not be protected according to the principles of freedom of speech.

[1]which may or may not be the case, I'm not a lawyer nor an American
Lol. I think it's more so that there are so few posts that it's pretty understandable why someone would make that mistake.

I think smalltalk is neat, but have never been too successful in getting up to speed. It doesn't help that I could never use it where I work. Also, although the stdlib is great, I still often have no idea how to do something. Compare that to Python, Perl, C#, Java, Bash, Powershell....etc. With those languages, I can ask nearly anything and get find 10 websites with examples and code snippets.

MS could increase their diversity by broadening where they advertise job listings, developing mentorship programs at schools with more diverse populations, or even simply changing the language used in job postings. Building a diverse work force need not (indeed should not) be as simplistic as hiring inferior candidates because they meet some quota.

Building a diverse workforce should be about making sure you get the very best people in the job. If the composition of their leadership team is dramatically skewed from the demographics of the general population, how can they argue that they scoured the country and found the very best?

The reason the NBA is different is because sports are based on physical abilities. Race, by definition, is a difference in physical traits. It is therefore unsurprising that race has a bearing on diversity in sports. Race has not been shown to have any bearing on one’s ability to do the work MS needs.

Why am I even explaining this to you? Can you seriously not understand the difference. FFS.
Even if you can achieve comparable performance on N concurrent TLS connections (which I actually think you can), you have a high additional cost of establishing those N connections.

For a lot of systems the TLS handshake is the most expensive part of an operation. Reducing the amount of TLS handshakes by N can literally reduce cost by up to N in those systems.
It costs more for now. As it becomes the norm, I think we'll see many innovations and new strategies come to fruition.

I specifically like the idea of zero waste stores where you bring your own containers to fill. Not only do you eliminate waste, reusable and sealable containers are so much nicer than what most products come in.
A carbon tax was a reasonable idea 20 years ago. Now it would be too little, too late. If the people in favor of a carbon tax had actually been serious and made it happen, then we could have more nuanced discussions now about how to make it work better. As it is, we don't have N more years to argue about what form the carbon tax should take and how to enact it worldwide. Every passing year makes the authoritarian solution more probable and severe.

> Positive in terms of increasing case numbers, yes.

As the number of people I know who have caught it grows, I have to say I don't really see that as a negative thing.

Most of the new cases are in the young-adult demographic.

Almost universally they suffer no long term complications and the most unpleasant part of the sickness is being confined to their home for a week and a half.

Number of confirmed cases is the wrong metric.

We know very well by now who is at elevated risk.

If you are not in the elevated risk category, and you are able to avoid those who are at elevated risk, then there is very little for you to worry about.
You know it’s really sad to see things continue to go this way. There should be serious penalties for lying to the public like this...

On a related note, since the pandemic began, there’s been a pseudo-milkman service in my area (in the USA). I was very excited by this, cause I looked forward to happy memories of glass milk bottles sitting by my doorstep like when I lived in the U.K. and had a milkman. The milk comes in tetrapaks... Are tetrapaks reusable? No. Are they better than plastic? Probably, I’m not sure? Could it totally be glass bottles? Yes, it could.
