Right, this gets philosophical pretty quickly, but I think your personal takeaway from childhood is bad. I think there are more important things in life than meeting the arbitrary expectations of society. And I think a better lesson to take away from childhood is that hard work is valuable and important.

I think that for me (and I suspect for you as well though I wouldn't presume to say for sure), while my outcomes have been good without having internalized a high value for hard work, it could have only been better if I had. It's true that I can get quite far on the power of privilege and intellect alone, but I'm convinced I would get much farther still with a better work ethic. And that's what I'd prefer for my children.
Yes, all of their examples are single speed but I can't find anything in the article or site that specifically says that. Moreover, in their competitive critique of belt drives they complain that belt drives can’t be used with derailleur gears.

Still, single speed. Get on the podium with track racers.

BTW, my skepticism is very tempered. I still think Biopace was a good idea and could be made to work. I think this is a good idea and I still think it could work. But it has to, you know, work. It has to demonstrate and provide that efficiency rather than just claim it because modern chains are pretty darned good.
My family (and everyone I know who remotely does any sort of home canning in France) always re-used store bought jam jars. I don't ever recall buying a jar for the sake of a jar.

The only things we ever purchased are canning kits (some wrap, rubber bands, some kind of wax).
It’s an interesting correlation but I tend to wonder if it has more to do with counterfeits on Amazon than sense of smell?
When people say "tools don't matter" what they really mean is that the "from 2004" part matters a lot more than the "WordPress setup" part.

That doesn't mean that static site generators aren't better though, and I'm sure we'll see more and more high volume blogs that are built in SSGs soon.
I think one common theme we both can agree is that open available data only helps. It doesn't take away from anything. For those who want to verify, they can. They can look up FDA reports and inspection results.

Couldn't it be both less government funding + more government guaranteed loans?
With web dev and marketing — and probably in many other areas — there is something equivalent of productivity porn that I don’t know what to call. It manifests in lengthy discussions with multiple stakeholders, endless iterations, and many thousands spent on tools that in the end mean nothing on their own. Like, cool, you shaved half a millisecond off your build time and your smartfridge sounds a ding at every successful deploy... What has that done for the bottom line?
Even if compiler-only ILP is doomed to fail, maybe VLIW optimists are just hoping something useful might come out of everything we've learned?

For example, compilers already model the CPU's pipeline and ILP capacity to inform instruction selection. VLIW designs are an attempt to make that cooperation more explicit, similar in spirit to branch/prefetch hints. Maybe there's still a way to do that well?

I have a question on ethics. If Amazon has profited greatly from Covid-19 related lockdowns and restrictions, would it be inappropriate for WaPo, which he owns, to create content that persuades the public to support continued lockdown measures?
back in the '90s I was into connecting to IRC servers using spoofed IP addresses. The way it worked is you told the software what OS you were connecting to (or it would figure it out itself, I can't recall). Each OS had a unique way of generating TCP sequence numbers, which allowed the software to guess which number would come next.

Nowadays OSes have protection for this sort of thing. But I'd imagine you could still fingerprint an OS like that. Combine that with TLS, HTTP, etc. specifics and you could narrow it down quite a bit I bet.
I personally despise people combining terms like "fast" or "lightweight" with languages like Go and Python.
We are looking at a build system that, to my knowledge, doesn't take any advantage from being written in Go, other than "being easier to write and understand by a human".

When I see someone giving such reasons for not using a more performant language, I immediately associate such project with janky, fast written codebase and disregard for proper, complete documentation.
"Because you can just read and understand the code", yeah I can do the same in well maintained code of a faster language.
Oh Haxies, I remember writing run-time patches (aka, cracks) to bypass licensing/registration for several pieces of software. There was a common framework, whose name no eludes me, that could be almost universally patched giving access to tens (100s?) of software.

Show HN: SimpleLogin – protect online privacy using email alias
I assume you’re taking about the Bell experiments. Imagine that it’s the nonlocality side of things that ends up being correct. In that case, a full foundation of QM could be a nightmare.

Regardless, we don’t have a full unified theory of everything, so it seems premature to say we know how complex it’ll end up needing to be.

Also, the universe isn’t just an time evolution differential equation. It’s that, plus all the initial/boundary conditions. Saying the Kolmogorov complexity of the universe is small while only looking at the side that’s simplifiable seems circular.
Hi HN!

We believe having a different identity for each website/service is an effective way to protect our privacy and that's why SimpleLogin is created.

All components in SimpleLogin is open-source, including the server, website, browser extensions, and mobile apps. SimpleLogin can be self-hosted and supports security-oriented features like PGP, WebAuthn.

The server is a Python/Flask application backed by PostgreSQL as database and Postfix as email MTA. The web front-end is coded with VueJS and Bootstrap for styling. Mobile apps are coded in native.

We would love to hear your feedback. Thank you!

Make does support multiple outputs, though the syntax sucks. Most of what you are annoyed with though is like being annoyed at C for the same reasons: Make is a programming language with a built-in dependency mechanism, and as such you can use it to build whatever you want... now, does it already come with whatever you want? No. I can appreciate wanting something which does. But such systems usually then give you what they want. I don't want my programming language to solve half of these things you want, and yet somehow I have built things on top of Make that solve even the problem of building for arbitrary embedded cross compile targets. (And hell: of cross compile toolchains is what you care most about, the king of that space is autotools, which not only correctly supports compiling to everything always every time out of the box, but somehow manages to make it possible with nothing more than you passing some toolchain configuration as command line arguments to the generated configure script... and one might note that it generates Make, though without taking much advantage of what makes Make great.)

A percentage of a percentage is an odd way to express a change, and at that picking the non-loss side as basis.

One could say increasing efficiency by 1% equivalent to reducing existing losses by 50%, both of those are reasonable bases, making it a percentage of the existing efficiency feels off.
I see your concern and it’s valid. We don’t store anything, but you probably need more warranties than that.

Yes. If we take a look at social sciences struggling with experimental method, we'll see, that they get better with time. When experiments do not work, people somehow figure out how to do experiments better, and it changes things. It gives a hope that experimental method could falsify itself, so when it stops working we will be able to notice it. So if we do not see it to fail, we could assume that it works.

This is the case with virtually everything these days. Stallman is/was right about this. You only rent the movies on Netflix, the games on Steam, the books on Amazon Kindle, and so forth. Everything could be taken away from you for absurd reasons. Who would have thought that your account could be disabled for reasons that it could get disabled today? It is not going to get better. You cannot even play a single player game offline, without running Steam. Torrents/Warez will never go away thankfully. Screw DRM anyways.

Make is a programming language: it is only good at executing that language, and that language kind of sucks, but saying Make is somehow only good at executing static dependency graphs is a fundamental misunderstanding of Make (but AFAIK might be a good description of say, ninja). All of the Make scripts I have written for the past 15 years have dynamically generated configuration and autodetected files and calculated version numbers and essentially done all of this work that somehow you think Make can't do.
Reminds me of the story of a guy who gets flown out to meet with Microsoft about an acquisition for his extremely useful Windows program, but they never follow up. Instead, they just rip-off his idea verbatim and integrate it into the OS.
> What makes Mishima so dangerous today is that he produced beautiful art and culture from which the downstream political conclusions were unavoidable.

This is strange to me. I can see a line between the kind of characters young Mishima constructed (extremely perceptive in limited ways, weird, [sometimes literally] impotent, and prone to mixing shame and violence and adoration) and the pretty basic understanding I have of the political ideas of the older Mishima. But the political ideas hardly seem "unavoidable". It's certainly plausible to me that somebody (apparently) traumatized by childhood weakness and confused identity would take up right-wing politics. It's also plausible to me that they would take up bodybuilding (check), realize that physical strength wasn't totally the problem (not check?), and, I dunno, go see a therapist or something.

I guess I see the eventual politics as one natural way all that could have played out. But to me the root themes of Mishima's work aren't intrinsically political. This may also be biased because I've only read Confessions of a Mask and The Temple of the Golden Pavilion, which Wikipedia tells me pre-date his political writings, in the former case by quite a while.
Staggering helps a bit as it will mean some people who were asymptomatic become symptomatic before they go home, and they can't realistically police a quarantine of something like 60,000 - 80,000 students, of which something like 70% live off campus.

I'm not sure of the exact figures, I think Nottingham Uni has like 45k students and Nottingham Trent has about 25k.

The other thing is that the official "Nottingham City" boundary is actually quite small and has only 320k residents and I'd happily bet at least £50 that the official government figures don't include the students as residents which is why Nottingham has such a high "cases per 100,000" because the true population count is something like 25% higher than the the "official" one, artificially inflating the proportional cases count.

It's not throttling, per se; the M1 prioritizes its efficiency cores when off mains power, and the performance cores when on mains power.

When unplugged, it engages the performance cores as little as possible. You should be able to run `powermetrics` on an interval while running a high-intensity task to confirm; the performance cores pin first when on mains, then ramp up the efficiency cores, and the opposite happens on battery.

It's a big difference because the efficiency cores max out at about 2W draw, and the performance cores max out at around 18W. There's a big incentive in battery life to rely on that behavior.

I'm not sure yet if it's tunable, macOS doesn't make that a transparent behavior where you can just tweak it at will.

The Air will throttle if under full load long enough, but it's still mostly just ramping down the performance cores to stay cool.
Apple purposely doesn't implement standards that would make progressive web apps possible on their platforms, and they don't allow third party applications on their mobile platforms.

> Why do you think I'm OK with the outrageous number of gun deaths we have?

I'm not but guns tend to be used to kill other people much more than drugs can be used to kill other people. So I'm more ok with people taking drugs. But not fully ok, the issue's too complex.

> Besides this is about heroin.

It's not. The damage done was most likely from a contaminant (see my note about MPTP) so not heroin. And if it was heroin it's still not about heroin because I said, exactly in the post you replied to, "Edit: none of this is about drugs or guns. It's about common sense and thinking for yourself." What I feel like I'm getting is kneejerk unthinking reactions from anti-drugs people. I may be wrong.
> Mac OS eventually dropped the concept of resource forks, so things that used to be contained in one file were distributed across many.

Resource forks are still supported, if not commonly used, even in APFS. For example, according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_File_System#Compression , transparent compression is implemented that way.
I'm afraid this is kind of a scam too.

The solution clearly loses on weight/benefit ratio to just making a thicker chain.

The US does recognize the strategic importance of semiconductor manufacturing and spends billions on it each year. Many devices for markets like aerospace and defense are only manufactured domestically. That said, the US has a defensive pact with Taiwan and to attack the island would be to start World War 3.

It's not really inexpensive in terms of a budget when you look at the nations that could benefit from the investment as a national security concern. Look outside the US nuclear umbrella and NATO to nations not friendly with the PRC - who among them is wealthy enough to start a chip industry that can compete?
> The notion of bullshit jobs is basically about people doing busy work without actually doing or producing anything of real value.

I think this is real to a certain extent; think of it as bureaucratic 'cruft'. However, it's also hard to spot exactly which jobs are bullshit; if it was easy, you won't have this problem of dead weight positions in big companies. There are almost certainly jobs that look bullshit but aren't, and vice versa.

I have my own razor[0], that I tend to call Hanlon's Handgun: "Never attribute to stupidity that which can be adequately explained by systemic incentives promoting malice". I think it applies here more than Hanlon's Original.

Also, I wasn't thinking about security. I was thinking about intentional abuse of data, that starts with collecting and processing data that doesn't need to be done for a device to function.

Also, there are many ways how you can "pay for" people: You can increase their salary. You can hire more of them, so that they don't have to work overtime. You can buy them better tools. You can rent a working space that actually contains rooms with doors. Etc.

Different people have different preference here. But if you have an open space, and zero budget for tools, and chronically understaffed projects, and the salary is kinda average... well, you send a loud message.

Try it the other way: let the veterans have their own room with doors, give them the tools they need, maybe reduce their work time to 6 hours a day while keeping their salary competitive... and most of them will be happy to stay.

Or be honest and admit that you prefer it the way you have been doing it so far.

You could have programmatic contracts where the actions and considerations can be manual, but the state of the contract is automatic.
Given that the author wrote this, "I downloaded a random subsample of US-based customer reviews of the 3 most popular scented candles"

Are you claiming that counterfeits are affecting all three? Or that there are enough counterfeits in at least one of them to cause the average to drop so substantially? And that is a more likely outcome than covid affecting a substantial portion of the population causing a drop in reviews?

The reply this tweet thread is based on is from the seller's own website themselves seeing a large increase in negative reviews from customers that state their candles have no smell.

I feel jumping to conclusions about a rise in counterfeits is unnecessary.
You might want to investigate Dr Vasant Lad's videos (2 in number, IIRC) on Ayurvedic cooking in particular, and the principles, or at least techniques, of (spices and masalas used in) Indian cooking in general. All with a view to improved digestion. He is a senior Ayurvedic doctor and the founder of the Ayurvedic Institute, Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA. There is also a book about this subject (the cooking), by some woman, IIRC, but sorry, cannot remember the name.
