I did not see a personal pet-peeve of mine:

If a user of your CLI tool has explicitly requested the built-in help text via --help (or an equivalent switch that requests help) then that help text shall be output on stdout.

It always peeves me to do:

command --help | less

only to find that the explicit request for help (the --help switch) has output the help text on stderr, and I then have to redo the invocation:

command --help 2>&1 | less

to cause the help text to actually be piped into less.

Do you have plans to address the criticisms you've had on Youtube and Reddit comments? It sounds like a lot of people have been unhappy with quality of service given the prices (esp. if you get low quantities), citing the dirtiness/wrinkles of clothes received (you don't wash them on purpose I guess), how there seems to be a lot of clothes that are beat up or faded compared to what you'd get at a thrift store, how you don't have controls over the brightness and vibrancy colors you get, and there seems to be little adherence to the requests customers put in text box.
The Lessons Of Loss: Holding on to those we lose in the workplace
I think the common terseness of many of the core suite of original unix tools actually reflects a strong focus on human, not machine, ergonomics. I still appreciate the speed and ease of typing them, and like many other aspects of the CLI, it's optimized for users who know it well and use it heavily. Once you're familiar with the names, it's not challenging to remove that mv = move, wc = wordcount, etc. Terminals of the era also still actually printed mechanically, so keeping command length short was a major ergonomic win for round trip speed.

As a sibling comment mentions, these commands were (are) commonly composed into scripts. As the name implies, however, a script is just a playbook for a series of commands to run. Given the terminals of the era, I'm sure short commands/variables/etc. were appreciated in scripts as well, but it seems to me that the primary motivation for optimizing input speed would be the use of these commands in an interactive environment.

A few examples of these core short program names: ls, cat, cp, rm, wc, uniq, cmp, diff, od, dd, tail, tr, etc.

So do you really believe any single person is so "brilliant" (or whatever adjective you want to use) to have truly created or earned billions of dollars through their own brilliance alone? Do you think Jeff Bezos is 1,310,000x more deserving of his wealth than the average American household?

IMO it's not reasonable at all past a certain point to continue to amass this kind of wealth that is a by-product of a broken system driven by exploitation, a system in this stage clearly set up for the rich to get richer while those struggling remain stagnant at best.
Can you give a more concrete example?

I think that water is already accounted for in calorie calculations. 100g of corn is 19g of carbs (76kcal), 3g of protein (12kcal) and 1g of fat (9kcal - honestly I thought it was more fat). 100g of chicken breast is 3g of fat (30kcal) and 31g protein (124kcal) - and that's not even the most calorie-dense part of chicken (not a lot of fat)! I realize there's some discrepancy here (I guess nutrition isn't an exact science, there's variation in living beings, and different counting techniques (count fiber or not)), but the numbers roughly match.
What have you read there that was such an insightful piece of information?

1. As for what decides the individual's rights in a society, this is a pretty complicated question but the answer is going to be rooted in evolutionary psychology, cultural evolution and memetic evolution.

On what grounds do they hold that right? I'm not religious so I can't appeal to an ultimate moral authority. See (2).

2. If you grant and enforce property rights you stake the individual, and the overall outcome is a more prosperous world. Removing property rights is a good way to collective starvation, it's been tried before. So it's moral in the sense that enforcing property rights minimises human suffering through the above mechanism.

Why Ex-Googler is such an important title?
I have seen many articles, observations, opinions, and narratives out there with the tag "By Ex-Googler" Why is it so important to add it as part of your subject title.
Because the point isn't "Prettier's formatting is the best", it's "let's nip the argument about formatting in the bud so we can focus on much more important things". I couldn't care less who made Prettier, many tools in this space would likely accomplish this goal.
Ask HN: High risk doesn't equal to high returns – PG's Bus ticket theory
I think the traditional interpretaion of high risk=high return is flawed. 1) The relationship is false because if high risk produces high return then everyone would flock to it which by definition isn't risky. 2) A better relationship would be high risk=high 'expected' return. 3) The expected return is related to the risk taken (i.e. time spent) and we don't know much time Newton spent (or risked) in each of the three domains. Therefore it is hard to gauge the correlation among the three different domains.

Would you agree?
The general structure is that all businesses rely on the government to maintain the courts and enforce contracts, and they are all built upon public commons. Taxation is not theft, pay your share.

Entrepreneurialism is at an all-time low in this low-tax, finance-happy environment, so I don't see how you can conclude that low taxes are good for creativity. It seems like it's been pretty good for concentration - low taxes means more money for acquisitions and buybacks.

Well forgive me but I was hoping for more than a first hit from Google and apparent common knowledge.

Since you mentioned having read studies about airborne transmission and aerosols, I was hoping you could point me to one where they examined the masks and found them to be significantly worse than FFP2.

Because in this study presented, only the people in the direct path facing the infected person were infected, not everyone, so wearing even EN14683 IIR masks could seem effective.

My guess, and this of many doctors in my area, is that EN14683IIR are, in fact, enough (if properly worn etc). If that is not true, I‘d like to know - from a reputable source.
Oh yes! These are amazing. Took me a while to understand what they do, but now the simplest way I think of it is that they're powerful enough to let you build your own async/await (though you don't need to - async await computation expressions are already included)
I actually think there's a pretty easy way around this for Google. They could create a ARM -> RISC-V translation layer. That works well because RISC-V already has a very limited instruction set. In order to make things fast, you don't need to do a lot of fancy transforms.

The issue with doing the same ARM->x86 translation is the x86 instruction set is vast and to get the best performance requires you effectively use those instructions. That requires you to merge instructions that you wouldn't have merged (think of things like the lea instruction).

There's less of an instruction impedance mismatch going from ARM to RISC-V.

Interestingly, I think going from x86->ARM or RISC-V would present less of a performance problem. That's because most of the work would be splitting one instruction into many. The evidence of this is the x86->IA-64 which resulted in something like a 10->20% performance loss vs a natively compiled IA-64.

GM does have a few in retail locations. The issue is unlike Tesla Superchargers they aren't maintained. If they even work, it outputs very little charge and often drivers of non-EV cars will park in those spots. It's so terrible that I fail to see the point of even having them.

I have seen a lot of posts on vitamin D and Covid here. In this study, which was a multicenter, randomized, double blind placebo controlled study in Brazil, the researchers found no benefit in treating hospitalized patients with severe COVID with vitamin D3.

This study is helpful because it gives us evidence that if vitamin D deficiency is associated with severe disease, treating it at the time of hospitalization is not helpful and we can focus on other treatment options.

Note that this is a preprint which means it has been made available before final peer review.

What a fantastic tip. Thanks for sharing!
Also a community recently on my radar is https://tildes.net
I think it’s fairly strongly implied, particularly due to the fact that nobody would let her have possession of the written feedback. It sounds to me like there was concern that if she was provided with the written feedback she would be able to de-blind the reviewers via close analysis of the writing itself. Why else would management refuse to share the written feedback, considering that (a) they were willing to share the content, just not the specific writing itself
and (b) the feedback doesn’t seem to have been in and of itself particularly noteworthy?

My take is that the reviewers wanted to be able to express some mundane criticisms about the quality of the work without having to expose their identity to a person with a public reputation of unusual hostility.
> One of the issues with electrics is that they need almost no maintenance.

But sometimes they do. Window motors fail. Air-conditioner stops blowing cold. Whatever. Stuff happens. And in a Tesla, it's a nightmare because there are no dealers and most independent shops won't touch them.
I suspect most of the workers for Ray Dalio, James Simons, and David E. Shaw would strongly disagree with the characterization that they are being exploited.

The charging stations at dealerships are meant first for the dealerships, visitors are secondary.

When you're selling EV's, you don't want your outlets to say "sorry, can't do a test drive, our cars aren't charged" (before uberlyft, how many times did you hop into a cab only to have the guy say "sorry, the credit card machine is broken"). And when people do buy the car, they don't want you driving off the lot with can-I-even-get-home range anxiety as your first experience with electric.

So the chargers-at-dealerships requirements are there to make sure dealers can first just sell the cars. Second usage is maintenance -- yeah, EV's don't need oil changes, but they still get their mirrors broken off at the same rate as any other car. Think getting a range top-up after you drop off the car for whatever repair as part of your premium service package upsell.

It's not about building out a destination charging network, it's about making sure their EV retail outlets can effectively retail EV's.
How about CPS style? https://golem.ph.utexas.edu/category/2008/01/the_continuatio...

Keep in mind that if you're implementing a branch predictor in HW, most CPUs will already be speculatively pre-running all sorts of code speculatively. Most of the current gen static analyzers/compilers linearize into basic blocks and run graph theoretic peephole compiler optimization passes, but that certainly isn't the only way to do to it. I guess with the future of hardware heterogeneous this is why data-flow or even more hybrid type of computer architectures are hot instead of mostly control flow-types of checks.

"According to nearly everyone else's, this process was unusual in that it even involved reviewing for content and not just IP"

This is ethics for Google's AI+Search which is currently undergoing global scrutiny, particularly by Congress and specific politicians who are considering anti-trust measures against Google - and who believe that 'their political party is being treated unfairly'.

It's existential concern for them right now, relating to the possible breakup of the company.

Every public communication on 'ethics' or search results etc. at Google is obviously going to have to be reviewed.

If you're publishing the latest thing on 'AI Random Number Generation' obviously nobody cares about anything other than IP.

The fact is, she must have known this and submitted anyhow - which is in and of itself not so bad, but that there was calamity afterwards ... there is no excuse.

Google was absolutely reasonable - they did not ask to change the nature of the research, but wanted to make sure that information about new, better processes were included.

It's beyond gracious for Google to do this, when really their starting point is 'silence' and they really don't have to do anything at all.

A request for a fairly short review with very basic and reasonable concerns blew up.

This is not a public university, you don't get perfectly tenured academic freedom, if Google wants to put a reasonable subnote in there - and take 2 weeks to do it, it's perfectly fine.

Obviously Google would have kept her if they wanted to, but it's clear they were both looking for a way to part ways and it's probably for the better.
