Had invasive surgery on my humerus that involved drilling & cutting into bone and muscle. The pain following the nerve block wearing off was indescribable. Groaning was about the most I could do. The pills might as well have been made out of sugar.

You're right, perspective does change permanently. There weren't "seeing the light" moments but I certainly know now who my friends are. I have an interesting view of life now. The residual pain is a reminder that I don't have time for nonsense anymore. A pain in the arm is enough, I don't need a pain in the ass also.

I'm also viciously dismissive now of any legislation or practices that limit controlled substances. I'm not an addict and I shouldn't be punished for other peoples acts.
In the mountains of Virginia, you are lucky to get 6 inches between two bumpers at 55 mph, especially up by Roanoke.

A defensive driving tactic might get you killed because you’ll have to literally stop to get more than a car length in front of you for longer than 1s.

Regional driving behaviors are to be expected, and they expect you to do the same. If you don’t, you might cause an accident. Humans are good at this. Machines, not so much.

I’ve driven around the country for several hundred thousand miles. Different parts of the country do things differently.
It's more nuanced than this. RCV helps the median in the way you suggest when the median is more popular, by allowing the more extreme voters to avoid splitting the vote. In the example, by allowing Nader voters to fall back to Gore once Nader is eliminated.

But, when the race is closer, it flip flops to have the opposite direction. Say Nader is marginally more popular among liberals. Now Gore is eliminated first, and Nader beats Bush. But hold on, what about the conservatives, who voted Bush > Gore > Nader? They've been screwed, because Gore was eliminated before Bush, so the system never considered their preference for Gore over Nader. And actually, if enough of them had flipped their vote and gone Gore > Bush > Nader, then Bush would be eliminated first, resulting in Gore's victory -- the lesser evil.

If you are liberal and have a hard time identifying this as a problem, consider the reverse: an election in the south, where voting D > R > Tea party results in the tea party candidate winning, but voting R > D > Y elects the mainstream Republican.

So the short summary is that, under RCV, it's only safe for you to put your favorite candidate first if:

A) Your favorite is likely to win,

or

B) The election is not close -- you know your favorite(s) will be eliminated before your next choice, who is likely to win.

It is still an improvement over FPTP, where you always have to vote for a likely-to-win candidate, but not as good as any form of score voting (e.g. approval, STAR).
They're also used to slow traffic. Because you need to check before entering, all traffic slows, even on unevenly weighted traffic. So still useful.

His hopes for functional programming machines seems like overselling his dream of abandoning von Neumann atleast. Arcane Lisp-machines was actually made as a comparison. I don't get the feeling Backus meant that a "FP system" should be an abstraction ontop of a von Neumann machine/language.
How to Get Better at CSS
> In real life things get very complex because there are 200 working parts interconnected. And not because "it's bad design". But because that is the requirement.

These sorts of things are always better discussed in terms of specific cases instead of generalities, but I think one of the key parts of good software engineering is factoring the requirements into the simplest design possible.

And even when time or other considerations prohibit creating an extensive design ahead of time, practicing a few well-chosen heuristics like "use composition", "keep functions and methods short", "use clearly defined and consistent terminology in your abstractions" can go a long way to making code less unruly and easier and cheaper to refactor down the road.
I didn’t realize how privileged I was until a relatively minor bike crash left me with a hard limp for a week or two. There’s a lot of lessons there (how can we design streets better? why don’t we focus on accessibility? why is the healthcare system hard to navigate?) but honestly the one that really hit me is how privileged I am to be healthy.
It's a shame how hard it is to appreciate the times we're in good health. Though probably an essential adaptation else we'd be in sheer amazement at all times while healthy if we could truly internalize how bad things could get. How would we get anything done if we could truly marvel at peak health if we knew what ultimately awaited us somewhere down the road.

Consent Management with Auth0 Marketplace
Let's look at some of the ways you can implement consent management in your application using the Auth0 Marketplace.
Here it is useful to make a distinction between personal property and private property. The idea of having ownership over your direct fabrications is of course natural, but even then was fluid and affected by community need strongly.

Private property on the other hand, for example the ownership of land or resources, did not exist until the creation of the state, because private property in this sense was not possible without it.

In actuality, even some agricultural civilizations didn't develop private property, and it turns out that those that didn't are also the ones that didn't develop the state.

I started Taltz to deal with my psoriasis, and found out what I had thought was something else turned out to probably be psoriatic arthritis, because the pain definitely went down after starting it.

Looking at your spectrum, I'd see the same distribution as:

- 40% left

- 30% center

- 30% right

Any rating of 'how far' someone is along the spectrum is arbitrary, as the spectrum itself is arbitrary. I wouldn't see any extremism either.

I don't think GDPR differentiates between sensitive info you asked for, and sensitive info that somebody chooses to put in a field not meant for it.

Scope tree. So much of what we access is a tree model: DOM, JSON, XML, file system. That data could be interfaced more directly if represented in a programming language as a tree of lexically scoped spaces opposed to the clunkiness of objects in OOP.

> The only specific criticism I’ve seen is that it’s “more complicated” but to me that’s a price worth paying for the improved representation of the public will.

The main problem with IRV (RCV is a horrible name for it, since its one of a large class of ranked-choice methods) is that, for the complexity of a ranked-choice method, it gives pretty much the least benefit of any single-winner system.

(The multimember district version of IRV, STV, is a fairly reasonable proportional system, on the other hand.)
> I don’t agree. If you are driving too fast to stop for pedestrians, you are driving too fast, period.

no offense, but this is kind of ridiculous. on a street with parallel parked cars, an uncareful pedestrian can instantly transition from being totally obstructed from view to only a couple feet in front of a moving vehicle. I literally can't drive slow enough to avoid hitting them without slipping the clutch all the way through the city.

Don't be sorry. Just stop hijacking threads for your vegan agenda.

> It strikes me as fascinating how societies would evolve and behave when different species could have and exchange different narratives. This a something not new, that has been exploited more than once in science fiction, precisely because the diversity between humans is not enough (many would argue that there are not human races) or simply not enough to be a scenario for picturing vastly different realities, or a playground for a different role playing.

I really can't make sense of what you are trying to say here. Did google translate mangle what you wrote?

> I won't reply to unfortunate comments about plants

Yeah, it's hard to confront the horrors of mass plant torture isn't it? All these innocent plants hopelessly stuck in the ground unable to run away or defend themselves.

> By discuss, however, I mean tolerant and well-intentioned exchange of thought, not cheap attempts of mocking perspectives you don't share.

What is cheap is turning a topic that has absolutely nothing to do with veganism into a vegan virtue signaling session. And I highly doubt you are interested in a "tolerant" and well-intentioned exchange of thought given the way you snuck toxic "veganism" into this thread. Your response made it absolutely clear that you aren't here for a "discussion" like most virtue signaling militant vegans.

I mean, yeah, unless there is a wide-spread feeling that tech hiring is broken and nobody knows how to tell if anyone really is any good through the hiring process which is the feeling that almost every hiring, interviewing, test-taking focused post on HN elicits.

Because I mean all the stuff on HN I read leads me to think we can't be sure about if someone is qualified for a job until they are actually in the job. My own personal experience is that people can even be technically qualified for a job and still not be qualified for all sorts of other things.
That works fairly well for most needs, but you will more than likely hit an issue with that one website or company that uses your email as a primary key, and it either can't be changed, or you have to contact them to do it manually on their end.

Again, I am pro space exploration.

It's about how we understand resource expenditures. Spending resources to research how to improve crop yields cannot replace food production. You have to invest resources to feed everyone with current technology, then spend surpluses on researching improvements.

We should explore space, but we shouldn't expect exploring space to solve our current problems.
I have a chronic condition that causes pain. One of the things I've learned, in as much as I can, is I don't tell anyone. I'd rather be rude than explain I'm in pain.

Not because I don't appreciate sympathy. Not because I'm ashamed.

It's because I don't want your advice on how to make the pain go away or to deal with it. I'm tired of advice. I've got too much advice. I try things, I research issues. I talk to doctors. What your Aunt did that had a similar case to me 30 years ago to get better isn't interesting, it's an anecdote. I'm tired of hearing of woo remedies. If you have research, fine, I'll read it. One day. Maybe months from now. I am not your guinea pig. I am not going to change my treatment regimen based off your advice tomorrow.

Sorry, had to get that off my chest. It's tiring. More so than the pain sometimes.
The point still stands, however — here's an incomplete list of everything you have to worry about with a MySQL database which you don't need to worry about with most other databases:

(I believe there are also still issues with Unicode, too)

I ran into a fun one a few weeks back: code which had been running for years failed on an AWS Aurora cluster because they'd defined a field as BIGINT and were inserting UUID_SHORT() values into it. For some reason, Aurora always generates values with the first bit set and so they learned the hard way that that field needed to be declared as unsigned.

Yes, the defaults can be changed but many, many people do not know this and will only learn why they need to after they have something blow up painfully. Often, even people who know this in theory will forget about it at some point when setting up a new one. It's the same reason why the industry is trying to get away from services like MongoDB / ELK listening on 0.0.0.0 with no password or having a default password which can easily be scanned. For something as widely installed as MySQL, even a 10% chance of oversights will mean a LOT of collateral damage.

Big difference between civil disobedience being justified by laws restricting fundamental rights (e.g. voting rights) and civil disobedience because you want to play an old game. Extreme measures (e.g. breaking laws) should be reserved for big injustices IMHO.

I wouldn't do that. Only move to Wayland when there is a real path for what you want and need. And it does it without hacks.

About porting I would look at what MATE is doing or at the code of Wayland shells, protocols or things like Waybar at GitHub. You don't have to write an entire compositor if you don't want to. Even better get in touch with the people who know what they are talking about, I think they have a wayland IRC channel.

Well you need GPT-3 access to start with. But I agree there's still an interesting paper to be written.
Have you driven in Arizona? There are thousands of miles of road where you can be almost completely alone. Waymo is not driving on those roads. I think you'd need data on human-caused crashes within the test area to have a reasonable comparison.
I'm not sure what you mean by coordinate "patch" in a format sense; although I think I informally get what you are going for. Since we seem to agree that an external observer sees a coordinate singularity at the horizon [0], it is not clear to me that there is an objective answer to what "their" coordinate system looks like on the interior. I tend to use a hyperbolic coordinate system. In the region on the outside of the horizon, it matches the natural coordinate system for an observer maintaining constant acceleration away from the black hole. From a purely geometric perspective, it is also defined on the region inside the horizon.

By "time coordinate" I mean the hyperbolic angle. This corresponds to the proper time of our constantly accelerating observer. This remains a well defined coordinate on the interior of the black hole. As you identify, in the language of relativity, this is a spatial coordinate on the interior of the horizon. I specifically refer to this as "coordinate time" because it is the coordinate that our observer is using for time; not because it is actually a time coordinate in all regions of space-time.

> No, which is what makes statements like "infinite coordinate time" incorrect; the correct statement is that neither coordinate patch covers the horizon at all.

You do not need to consider the horizon itself. Consider just portion of the path that occurs before the horizon. This path crosses infinite coordinate time. Put another way, the singularity in this coordinate system is precisely that coordinate time diverges towards infinity as you approach the horizon. Put another way, if you pick any finite amount of coordinate time, you can find a portion of free-falling path from before the horizon that crosses that amount of coordinate time .

[0] Although I think we need to be a bit more careful about what we mean by external observer for this to be formally true. A free falling observer is "external" until they cross the horizon, but they don't see a coordinate singularity there.

Why not just be platform-agnostic? It's the same problem that has been going on for non-captioned videos for years.
If a captioning service is going to be exclusive to only Google Meet or Teams, then by definition, it's not inclusive.

So when we come on Zoom with my parents, they use Ava http://www.ava.me to caption what I say with their speakers on.
It looks like a caption bar, floating on top of the screen, so when I share my screen they can still see captions.

My dad started using Ava at work where they use GoToMeeting. They just won't move to Zoom easily so he gets access without having to shift the whole company on it.

The software also separates who says what neatly if you share a link in the chat and people connect to it. Also voices out what's typed on the other end.
Dark patterns are tricks, like making you click on something that you thought did one thing but does something else. Asking you to sign in/up is hardly a dark pattern.
