I think if you only use XCode and really get used to it through and through, it could be a good tool. But it is so unintuitive it's staggering, and does not have terribly advanced features for an IDE.
Don't be ridiculous. My preferred political party does not have a vested financial interest in those theories, so of course they shouldn't get equal airtime.
Yeah, you know, when people keep saying "You aren't as far from being homeless as you imagine you are" this is what they mean. Just because your life has not come unraveled overnight doesn't mean it can't for reasons beyond your control having nothing to do with personal virtues or lack thereof.

We really need to get universal health care in the US, among other things, to limit how far people can fall when something crazy happens. We are making it far too easy to fall and far too hard to come back from it and this is why we also see headlines about how society is coming unraveled and the like.

Please don't see this as some bizarre statistical outlier. Many homeless people were solidly middle class at one time and then things came apart and we are terrible about actively making it unnecessarily harder than it should be to get back on their feet.

I dual-boot on my media PC, where Ubuntu is my primary system, and I boot into Windows to play a few video games which don't work in Proton.

That's one case where you don't want to pay the performance overhead for virtualization, but I'm sure there are plenty of other cases where dual-booting is preferred.
You can use Amazon for fulfillment without participating in commingled inventory. In that case, Amazon would still have possession of your inventory, and if you didn’t cooperate when they tried to return it to you, it might end up getting destroyed.

If Amazon didn’t offer fulfillment as a service, and just bought product from suppliers to sell, this same issue can arise - the supplier can deliver items which seem possibly fraudulent. Then Amazon will fight with the supplier about returning those items and depending on what kind of contracts are in place, could end up destroying them (this seems to be essentially what happened here).
We can't even imagine the new ethics and rituals of a human world where immortality was on offer, but it's hard to imagine something as boring as overpopulation snuffing them out.

It's kinda like who could've predicted that we'd be arguing about gender/queer theory when the first nukes fell on us.
I think "no code" is a misguided project, a rebel without cause.

The purpose of programming is to tell the computer what to do. To tell someone or something what to do you have to "talk to" them. You need some language to do that. And when you are talking to a computer, the languages they understand are called programming languages, in other words "code".

Another way of looking at is that English is code as well. It is code we use to communicate with humans.

Now maybe there is some visual language that could be used to communicate with a computer effectively, but then that is a language too, and thus is code.

What "no-code" could ultimately be is a system where the computer asks you to choose from set of options and based on your choices incrementally generates a program, a bit like when you install Linux it asks you a set of questions, and you answer and in the end you have a working system which you created without talking in code, unless yes/no is considered a trivial (binary) code as well. But it is a very limited set of programs you can create that way in a limited time.
If facebook is concerned about data breaches from a browser plug-in why don't they just stop server the data to the browser? If the data is that valuable and easy to get it wouldn't be hard for someone to write malware that collects the data and phones home once in a while.
They could bring in some common sense measures like "what is the ratio of complaints to total number of sales" and "did the seller get the chance to rectify the situation"

Ask HN: Is There a Known Recursive Hash?
As a point of curiosity, I have been wondering if there is a known string, which when hashed with a hashing algorithm, results in a hash which has the same content as the string (a recursive hash).

The following example does not work, but is only for illustration:

Say we have a hex string like "6b86b273ff34fce19d6b804eff5a3f5747ada4eaa22f1d49c01e52ddb7875b4b". When hashed with <INSERT_YOUR_HASHING_ALGORITHM>, this hash would then result in the same hex string: "6b86b273ff34fce19d6b804eff5a3f5747ada4eaa22f1d49c01e52ddb7875b4b".

I know the chance of this is near zero, but it would be interesting to know nonetheless! I haven't been able to find anything online.
Could it be terrible air quality?

Happy to have you explore and try out our APIs, however for real money movement, the regulations do require a company formation. As others mentioned on the thread, a one person company or llp is very easy to form and hardly takes a couple of days in today's environment in India.

I would suggest to form that since you would anyways want to do it at some point of time, plus you don't want any financial liability to affect your personal assets. Happy to help you walk though our product and answer any queries around the same or even company formation - https://calendly.com/raunak_dembla/introduction-to-decentro?...

As for Razorpay, yes, they are more like Stripe for India both in their product and roadmap. Razorpay X is a new neo-bank in the country.

Cheers!
The intuition that declarative programming fits the human brain much better is correct, but I'd hesitate to call this "no code". You're just moving towards a more mathematical code formalism.
Sure, which in that case I guess makes it a good design & business decision.

As a user, I don't see any problem with that either
It's pretty close. Big pain point for me still is that running an IDE from Windows and accessing the Linux FS is not quite as snappy as native-Linux (I use IntelliJ). So for now I still dual-boot.

This is apparently being worked on... in the future I will be able to run the IDE inside WSL and it will bridge X11/Wayland to Windows.

It's mentioned in the article that they couldn't use modern wheat to grow the extracted yeast cultures.
Cost of living is almost a red herring at this point. The real driver of geographic compensation disparities was always just the cost of competing for talent in that area. The only thing that mattered was if a compensation offer was higher than the employee’s other options.

Cost of living tends to follow from the prevailing wages in the area, not the other way around.

Agree on the functional bit.

Naming things: I try to not think about it for more than 10 seconds, and go with the best I've got by then. I find myself renaming things sometimes, and I'm eager to do this when a better name comes to me.

Most desktops will have a graphical configuration you can use.

Alternately, you can use timedatectl on distros with systemd.

If you use a non-systemd distro, try hwclock.

Based on my ddg-foo, I was mistaken about being able to configure it via a config file, short of putting it in .profile or some such other thing. That seems hacky though, so I wouldn't recommend it.
typo - you put 'nursery' instead of 'murder'
Amazon lets small businesses sell stuff on their web site and it's a big part of their business, why wouldn't they let middle men sell stuff on there? It also has served as portion of their business to point at and say "see we're fair and not a malicious monopoly, we let others use our platform to sell"
> Sure, that would be one way to do it: if there were a one world government, which could impose such a tax.

You can just impose such a tax domestically, and tariff all imports from countries that don't have that tax.

The low-carbon industries in those countries will very quickly force their governments to implement a carbon tax, because such a tariff punishes them unfairly.

It used to be easy to do yourself but it's becoming increasingly difficult and risky given all of the advanced parts that can be damaged or improperly put back when closing it.

I am intrigued by this, but I have no idea what it does.

Is this a tool to convert images into lines for braille in the sense that it is an auto labelling service (similar to how facebook's cnns work?)...or is it converting color squares into sth like offsets for the pins? Does it scale down resolutions?

How does it communicate with the Browser to be available on the braille keyboard?

I have dozens of questions on how this works...I am building a browser on my own and thought about more accessibility features, but I don't have a braille display to test things. My state of knowledge is that those braille displays are still super unaffordable and have just a couple of lines.
Possibly move to UK is a solution :)
CFR is just confirmed deaths divided by confirmed cases. It's absolutely certain, but that's also why it's not a great basis for a serious analysis of most things. We can comfortably say the numerator is roughly correct, but the denominator is likely too low because we probably missed a lot of cases, given limited testing capacity and just how asymptomatic COVID often is.

IFR is actual deaths divided by actual infections. It's the most important number, but also much harder to figure out, because the delta between confirmed cases and actual infections is, by definition, unknown.

So, in context, if we look at CFRs, it looks like Israelis are 3x less likely to die from COVID than Americans. Maybe that's vitamin D, or maybe instead Israel tested and identified every single person with COVID, whereas America missed two for very case they identified. If we could instead see the IFRs in that case, they'd actually be roughly the same, and it'd turn out (all other things being equal) that vitamin D was irrelevant.
> Steve Simpson and Harvey Friedman are on record on the Foundations of Mathematics mailing list saying, essentially, that HoTT is a waste of time [0]. The other set theory experts I know agree with them but haven't said so publicly. My impression is that this is a fairly common view in the set theory and foundations community.

The set theory and foundations community, i.e. the small minority of mathematicians who manage to do effective work on mathematical foundations in ZFC, are precisely the people who we'd expect to be most anti HoTT. It's not necessarily wrong, but it's like concluding that OOP is pointless because you've talked to leading C programming experts.
Exactly this. I used to export everything by opening the page source and filtering out the HTML elements. It was a really terrible offering, and it was originally what made me realize that Google is not the kind of company that delivers on that front.

I replaced it with a combination of Shaarli for links and Standard Notes for everything else.

I find it amusing how these software architecture gurus always demonstrate their teachings with a cookie-cutter CRUD app. There are software which do things other than making REST calls... Show me how you’d implement a basic MS Paint clone and we can talk!
On a side note, does anyone know if you can use fast boot on a system which dual-boots with grub? I have a motherboard which supports fast-boot, but I understand enabling it makes it difficult to get into the BIOS so I am hesitant about enabling it.
Isn't WSL2 a step backwards from WSL? A thinly veiled VM, vs. proper Linux emulation? What's the performance story and cross-execution (starting Windows programs from Linux side, or vice versa) on WSL2 now?

crypto? I thought I was being overt.

Amazon’s economy of scale does capture a lot of value. The question becomes: how well does economic value align with our human values?

One of my best friends mentors software development interns at Amazon. We talk a lot, they’re using it as mechanism to empower people who had otherwise been trapped in low-wage jobs, and generally I think that’s a good thing. Recently they tell me that one of their new interns was, until recently, a practicing medical doctor, in another country. Having this person optimizing user experience on a shopping system cannot possibly be as socially valuable as treating disease. But here we are.

There’s another article on HN today questioning whether the current crop of tech companies embody the old Silicon Valley values that created our field. I think the answer is: they cannot possibly embody them all because some of the core values of hacker culture are contradictory, and a strong tradition of anti-capitalism, radical democratization, and anti-authoritanism go back to at least the 1960s computer programmer culture, maybe even further back
Not wanting to do so is probably the reason the article is not really about whether the products were genuine or not, but rather about Amazon's behaviour.
I've never seen the `touch` version of that safety versus broken output files before. I've only seen the `rm` version. Is `touch` advantageous? Edit: oh, oops, I should've followed the link; the output file in the example seems to be test output which would be more distinctly useful to inspect after the fact on partial failure. That makes sense.

> Of course some believe that Vitamin D is a substance only required to prevent rickets, while others have assigned it all kinds of different roles

The phrasing there is a little weird. Conceptually you wouldn't expect Vitamin D to have the function "preventing rickets", in the same way that the function of Vitamin C is not "preventing scurvy". Vitamin C does several things, and the different failures of those different things manifest as different symptoms of scurvy. Scurvy is what happens when you don't have enough Vitamin C, as rickets is what happens when you don't have enough Vitamin D.

I'am always intrigue by these "range problems / statements"
I guess there are no great insight other than most timelines(ranges) are subjective.

My S.O is always complaining that we are spending too little time together( I really don't think so).

I asked her once, so if we had to spend 23.5 hours together that will be obviously too much, and spending 0.1 hour together will be too little (we could both agree on the extremes), yet somewhere between those extremes are a number we both are comfortable with and feel is correct. It's just not the same number.
Steps to Improve Your Writing
This is a great strategy, and I've used it successfully to tackle many things like sink of dishes (do one piece whenever I'm in the vicinity) and programming (I'm going to do at least one commit per day on my project.)

I think the biggest benefit has been applying it to meditation. I've been told by several teachers that the process of entering meditation is what you initially want to practice the most, because the rest of your practice relies on being able to do that.

I set different "reminders" for myself to meditate. In the beginning I used "being annoyed" and "waiting for something" as two "triggers" for me to begin meditating immediately, and do it for at least 10 breaths.

What Sketch is doing in the post is marketing their constraint as their strength.

Some reasons on why Sketch is not a good design tool:

1. Exclusion: Sketch was never cross-platform. There by excluding people. Design is all about inclusion. There have been numerous requests to make sketch available on windows.
2. Apple only: Sketch was made to design stuff for Apple Ecosystem and that mostly remains that way.
3. Cost: Sketch exlcudes people to design basis cost. People measure the cost of sketch as USD 99. However, the real cost is cost of owning a Mac and then owning a Sketch license. Owning a Windows/Linux machine with Figma / Xd is way cheaper and makes the tools of trade accesible to the masses.

As i contrast these with Figma Or XD or even InvisionStudio, the tools of trade are far more accesible to the masses.

A feature based comparison is not helpful as Sketch can catchup to Figma (is already doing so with Sketch Cloud).

A designers take.

A lot of higher-end brands receive records back from the wholesalers too, so they can a) have a paper trail to determine if products are counterfeit or not, and b) blur the distinction between "counterfeit" and "not sold through official channels" which helps prevent undercutting of the retail price.

These are fantastic points I hadn't thought of. Thank you for this perspective.
The culture starts at the top. It's the CEO who is accountable whether the org large or small.

With a sprawling org like Google I sometimes wonder how you could ever expect the CEO to be fully engaged on all of it. It is probably just impossible. The best companies seem to involve a certain passion and enthusiasm on the part of the CEO.
If you start at first principles you don't find support for a fundamentally material reality. Idealist monism is the alternative.

i.e. the universe and everything in it is fundamentally mental phenomena (qualia) which may only appear to have material properties by the extent of their disenfranchisement from more connected phenomenal clusters.
You can longjmp from signal handlers as it's async-signal-safe in POSIX. I've done this to implement sigtimedwait on macOS and OpenBSD. If you thought writing exception-safe C++ was difficult, imagine writing async-signal-safe C++ code.

You can even longjmp across different stacks entirely. Many userspace threading libraries do this, but I've done it (legitimately, I might add) simply from a signal handler invoked on an alternate stack (see sigaltstack(2)). From the perspective of setjmp/longjmp, there isn't necessarily anything "above" the current frame. In general, longjmp is much more like a bare goto than a structured control flow construct. Notably, C++ doesn't try to make goto play nice with constructors and destructors.

Rust can do w'ever it wants because 1) it has no standard, 2) refuses to commit to an ABI of its own, and 3) there's only a single implementation, which also coincidentally 4) shares most of its toolchain with one of the most widely used C++ compilers.

Yeah, that's very likely actually, since the biggest risk group, the elderly, are also one of the groups with the highest levels of vitamin D deficiency.

In this study here 84% of the elderly had some amount of vitamin D deficiency (Figure 3).
