The question in the article doesn’t use trig. You only need a bit of an idea of how loops work and be able to recognize patterns.

Since the first UK lockdown I've been doing all my grocery shopping for my family of 5 by bike.

I go a bit more often than I would have done by car, and I've started buying all my meat separately at a local butcher.

But it's amazing how much you can fit into 2 panniers and a rack.
The author has experienced switching perspectives, therefore concludes that what has remained unchanged is reality. But it is possible to switch realities (timelines) as well, though writing about that kind of experiences is kind of pointless, because the new "reality" may not include old writings, and if switching realities is possible, than humans beings are not what they are commonly considered to be. (and one may as well write something on the surface of a lake, and expect permanency). How many downvotes for this comment?
So the burden is on me to show they are untrustworthy, rather than the burden being on them to show they are more trustworthy than Reddit?
Blizzard blogged about this some years ago with regards to their SC2 matchmaking.

They found that their matchmaking was too good, and would cause a lot pf stress as people were constantly feeling pressure to play their best since the matches were so even. This led to very short play sessions as players would feel exhausted from one or two matches. Their solution was to increase the standard deviation of the algorithm, so that you had a better chance of roflstomping your opponent and a similar chance of being stomped. They claimed it led to much longer play times and less player stress.
Hey I'm the author. Yeah, I stumbled on this while doing a little research into zsh socket capabilities, but I decided to exclude it because the post was more about network sockets than Unix domain sockets.
I think that's the risk-reward trade-off. At the most elite levels, it'll all be about survivor bias. So even if that technique only works some of the time, those that it works on will have a better chance of becoming elite.
I'm pretty sure all those IDE generated getters and setters will work flawlessly even if I don't add unit tests for them.

They can stay red until the end of time for all I care.

Integration tests for the most common paths, unit tests for more complex logic.
> I have a genuine question:
If a person of color (I am myself non-white) is not performing, what does it take to fire them without the entire world playing the race card on you?

Great question. Part of the reason why the black unemployment rate is so low is that it's virtually impossible to fire them.
It does? A $5/mo droplet can serve a good amount of traffic. And there are lots of free ways to get some initial users, they just take time. I know because I’ve done exactly that.

This kind of can’t-do attitude really saddens me. I see it all the time in these discussions about wealth inequality.
Does interop with c# get easier?

Trying to figure out how to map to an overloaded C# callback (maybe hidden in an *.extension doc!) has wasted hours of my time.

F# (the ml family in general) is my favorite language right now but, man, the .net APIs are rough.

Lacking the same UX I’m used to in Node, Ruby, and Elixir.
> The fundamental problem with taxation is that governments are even worse than individual billionaires like Jeff Bezos at choosing what to do with large amounts of money.

Citation needed. When Governments had lots of revenue, they assist the population with public services, which tend to benefit the lowest stratum of society the most. But the cumulative effect is to raise the quality of life of society as a whole. There is little evidence that billionaires have that kind of effect on society as a whole (outside of a few notable exceptions like Gates).

Having a billionaire class that has so much resources that they can influence public policy and Government... is an even worse outcome, and could be considered the only reason to dismantle this class. The Government is elected by the people (in a democracy) and having mini-kings is absolutely detrimental to the health of our democracy.
Not everyone shares the American dream of driving an suv around suburbia to every play date, park outing or sports club.
Ha, I hate it when apps do that. One of the main reason I got rid of Spotify and my Spotify paid subscription was because their android app gobbled all the free space it could find on a device by filling it with caches music. “Of course Spotify, I pay extra for more storage on me device so you can use it to cache songs and save a few cents on bandwidth, you’re very welcome.”
Sure, but then it's still not the Product Manager doing it.

This is a discussion of what a particular role is in charge of, the fact that a single person might do multiple roles does not define the role under discussion imo.
Why can't users install the fonts directly on their OSes instead? If it's on the OS, browsers can pick them up and I can install only the fonts I want.
Makes sense, but there’s little I can do about it now.
The big 500-2000lb bales of clothes will sell for 15 to 20 cents a pound, it varies some depending on the quality of the clothing and the transportation and storage costs. If it is really all undamaged high quality clothing it could be more than $1 a lb, but generally what is sold in these big bales is a combination of it not being worth the time to sort and sell, and being damaged and not desirable. What isn't sold is recycled into rags, or sometimes sent overseas where the labor costs and incentives are different.
I know many vegetarian and vegans who are so for ethical reasons, but their ethics are that this causes pain and death to animals, not that meat is inherently unethical to eat. I am sure that there are vegans that would extend their logic to “this originally came from animals at some point therefore I can’t support it” but there are many who are specifically concerned by factory farming and such, which this would alleviate.
Sure... or perhaps reformulate tire rubber?
Your comment is the top comment.
Hey I'm the author. Yes, as far as I know it's just sugar for opening a socket, and there's almost never a file that exists. To treat it as a file, you need to assign a file descriptor to it, which you can then read and write from.
I think you are:

I know why people don't listen to the experts. Because they lie.

Remember when WHO told everyone that it is harmful to wear masks because it gives people false sense of security? I remember.

Is lab-grown human meat 'no-go' though? I've heard that human meat doesn't taste very good and isn't healthy, so I likely wouldn't even try, but if I heard that it was the tastiest thing in the world I would certainly try a lab-grown one if I could and I don't see why I shouldn't.

Also, no - vegans for ethical reasons don't necessarily have to oppose sourcing cells from animals. For some it would be enough if the sourcing was done cruelty-free. But you're right that the ethical issue is still there and I'm certain that some people will be still opposed to that.
I checked out your website and the premise seems to be pretty solid. I've been browsing 4chan lately and while the place is certainly a cesspool most of the time, I loved the ephemeral and almost real-time discussion format. sqwok seems like something I'd use. However, I think you might have heard this already, what the hell is the sqwok name. How do you even pronounce it let alone memorize it!? I think you know what my suggestion is.
But isn't superdeterminism still possible? I thought that was implied by the article's first assumption that physics was loathe to abandon, that the experimenters had free will, so to speak.
These issues (allow updates within limits) are what I understand as the point of dependency resolution, I'm trying to understand how you do without it.

In such a case e.g. nixpkgs makes two attributes: a_1 and a_2 (and alias a to a_2). Packages that still require A 1.x will have a_1 as one of their dependencies, the rest a.

This is avoided as much as possible, but is sometimes necessary. Common examples are Gtk 2 applications or C/C++ applications that can only be built against a Python 2 interpreter.
one click and i realized why I don't go there anymore. Good to have an alternative option just in case though!
What is Preview?
I think it's largely a matter of just getting charging stations in more places. People who own cars must park them somewhere, and all those somewheres can have utilities installed if someone's willing to pay for it, it's just a matter of figuring out how to make it happen (whether via mandates or incentives or just market forces).

They don't have to be superchargers, either, just good enough for overnight charging.

The transition will probably take a while, but I expect that eventually people will stop calling them "electric cars" and just call them "cars" and charging stations will become part of the ubiquitous infrastructure of cities, like sidewalks and fire hydrants.

I don't know if people stealing charging cables is a common problem now. People complain where I live about catalytic converter thefts. There are probably ways to solve the issue of people stealing expensive charging equipment and re-selling them, but if people steal cables simply to recover ten dollars or thereabouts of copper, I don't know how to fix that (aside from "move to a nicer neighborhood"). Maybe use less valuable metals like aluminum, if that can be made to work in this application?
As a “soundalike coder guy” as you so dismissively call us, I really need to point out that... ah... yeah, you’re right. I recognized her voice immediately but man, you just dropped a big fat truth bomb. I have some re-evaluating to do.
Neolife funded this study to (apparently) support the release of a new product to market, “Neolife Botanical Balance”, a couple months after publication.

N=30 short-term ensures minimum chance of detecting side effects to provide plausible deniability to the FDA. Age range 40-60 excludes the less wealthy <40 and those higher risk of death age ranges >60.

Nutrition studies of the general population with N<1000, without any qualifying factor such as “extremely rare cancer subgroup”, ought to be banned at HN.
No local hidden variables. Unless there's been a new development?
Getting to the point where things need to be explicitly stated is unusual, I think. The rest of the ultimatums remain unsaid because people are aware of them already and work within their bounds already. And getting to the point where you have to give a verbal ultimatum requires a party to not be aware of its existence, which is rare when communication isn’t totally broken.
You’re right to be skeptical, as some bad actors try to push the idea that electric cars are worse polluters than ICE cars.

Still this seems to be a problem both for electrical and ICE cars, that needs to be taken seriously and maybe can be fixed or at least reduced in impact by changing materials.

What I’m missing in the discussion is trucks. Usually they have a far greater impact than cars because of their higher weight.
You are looking at it from the wrong angle. I hear you because I used to be like you.

Now...try this instead. Think of downvotes as someone anonymously throwing a tantrum with a keystroke because their tender tender feelings were hurt.

That, my friend.. is not your problem.
Both are marketing terms.

This is a really interesting piece. I've been wanting to rage against illiteracy lately but I'm not too active in public discourse (even this).

That said, I don't think it's some secret key to improving humanity. I think this because literacy is ultimately a luxury, even in modernity. The literate may be able to form more nuanced opinions, but that matters less if they can't increase literacy consistently across populations.

There's an irony here that assumes deep literacy is productive and essential but doesn't use it to explain the proposed lack of deep literacy itself.
I don't know a lot about how keyboards work at the low level but wouldn't that require custom firmware to add new keycodes?

Hey I'm the author - I did not know about this! I suppose I should have guessed somebody made a shell script linter at some point though. Very useful!
Under the medically justified urgency of covid, Victoria took a significant number of homeless rough sleeping people (as they are called here in australia) into some kind of housing. Queensland did the same using surplus student purpose built dense housing.

I'm not going to pretend this "solved the problems" but I am told a number of the less intractable cases got put into a better situation,simply having secure shelter helped get them off drug dependency, or back into medication for treatable problems, or away from self harm situations.

Now covid is closing out, the "experiment" is partially unwinding again and this makes me very sad. People will be put back into considerably less suitable housing. People will return to a life led off the rails.

Sure, some want something rough sleeping provides (I really suspect few do but let's not pretend everyone can handle housing up front) and some will continue to be drug affected and crazy will break out.

But for nine months we reduced homelessness and structural health problems to single digit or less and it almost certainly saved money.

That's the truly amazing thing: the net budget effect on federal and state funded interventions was probably better, and they STILL unwound the programmes.

Collective failure of imagination.

Homelessness exists because we let it.
Alien blue is discontinued since several years by now. Reddit bought it and the developer made the official Reddit app now instead.
What is the current best practice for making machine readable documentation of methods and options available in a CLI program? Similar to how OpenAPI works for RESTful services.
Capacitors are replaceable, and in fact the process of replacing them is already a routine operation in the retrocomputing community.
Why do I need to do that, to combat your unsupported assertion? Why don't you show some evidence instead that faster than light entanglement has been "accepted"?

The fact is, there are theories of QM that do not assume that entanglement happens faster than light. The Many Worlds theory is one that has no need for such hypothesis. And more generally, since you need to send the results via a classical (no faster than light) communication method, there's no way to be sure that the entanglement has happened faster than light.
Interop is janky. It works, but there are some gotchas that need to be worked around. It works in 95% of the cases without much mucking around, but it's not pretty, so you're better off tucking that away in some dark corner.
I'm sorry if my post seemed rude in any way.

First, this discussion is about the new MacBook Air that costs $1000 US which is why I mentioned that price point. I suppose tariffs and such would increase that substantially, so that's a fair point. My bad. That said, I believe there was discussion about the hypothetical situation where you did want a Mac.

More to the point, I checked your post history before I commented, and I gathered you are a developer, somewhere in South America (?). I suspect that the code I write is probably no better than the code you write. But your pay is presumably quite a bit less than mine. My point was that it's unfortunate that like work doesn't yield like rewards.

Now here I am going to make some assumptions... In all likelihood, people are amassing wealth off of your work in the same way they profit from mine. But due to local wage norms, they can pay you less and reap higher margins. They get to upgrade the yacht, but you might not even have enough free time time to use a boat even if you could afford one.

It's possible that I extrapolated too much and that your situation is nothing like what I have inferred. Sorry in advance if that is the case.
Please try making arguments in good faith without invoking so many logical fallacies. Here is a good guide to avoiding them: https://thethinkingshop.org/collections/products/products/lo...
Apollo is 70mb to install, Reddit is 104mb.

He’s comparing the downloaded data to the app itself. Unless Apollo clears the downloaded data instantly it’s an unfair comparison I think.

At least the homelessness you see on the street in Romania is much much less. I went a few times for business there and I saw zero. (More old people peddling stuff at the street though than germany)
> DOS doesn't crash like Windows.

No, it crashes like DOS. I suppose if your application is well written and you have fully exercised the functionality that you use, it might be more stable, but "reliable" is not a word I would have associated with those systems.
Yeah I'd love my metro driver or other critical safety staff to be working 16 hour days. Can't see what could go wrong there...
In Sweden the homeless increased when a lot of dedicated mental health institutions were closed.
I just checked on a website I maintain, and it's looks like Google Fonts behaviour has changed. It definitely used to prioritise local fonts, and now it doesn't. In a way, I understand, because local fonts aren't always identical to the online ones, leading to weird bugs that might not be noticed at first (especially in languages that don't use Latin characters). Fonts also get updated over time.

When you select fonts on Google Fonts, the website instructs you to link to CSS hosted by Google, which is simple to implement, but not performant. Really, you would want to load that CSS asynchronously, so that the rendering of the whole website doesn't wait for Google Fonts. (Here's how you load CSS asynchronously, by the way: https://stackoverflow.com/q/32759272/247696 ) Or even better, host the fonts yourself.
The protests are a sham consisting of only APMC commission agents and those farmers heavily dependent on MSP by indulging in wrong crops (wheat/rice) for decades, thus draining tax-payer money. Read this article to understand more[1].

Making new clothes isn't good for the environment. It's true for America's environment and it's also true for Africa's environment.

> free clothes which are sold in Africa and undermine development of local industries.

It makes no sense to waste resources and trash the environment to develop industries.
> I am not sure why you feel that "taxing rich people" makes everyone worse off. 60 years ago a man with a high school diploma could support a middle class life for a family of 4. Taxes on the highest earners were much higher than they were today.

Tax rates were higher but there were far more deductions. The effective rate was similar to that of today.

60-70 years ago a man with an HS diploma could support a family due to massive demand for labor. This was mainly because America was the economic engine that provided for the reconstruction of the world after WW2. Go back another 15 years to pre-WW2 and shit was pretty bleak even with high taxes.

> You mention FB. With network effects, it is inevitable that there will be a few large dominate social media companies. If it wasn't Zuckerberg it would have been someone else.

It was someone else, it was MySpace and Friendster and other trashy shit. Facebook brought a vastly better user experience that seems mundane in retrospect but it won because it was so much better. Like it or not, Facebook did innovate a lot early on and had a unique, clean, consistent experience. They made social media mainstream. It was not a given this would happen.
Educational attainment has been increasing steadily since at least 1940 (as far back as the chart on Wikipedia shows): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Educational_attainment_in_the_...

I am skeptical that this "deep literacy" is in fact eroding, since it's what lets you learn a topic well enough to get a degree. It's also hard work; I'll put in the effort on topics that matter -- as in topics that usefully inform my future actions, rather than topics that have abstract moral weight or whatever -- or sometimes for entertainment, but it's not a casual "all the time" thing and there seems to be a limit to how much I can do in a given day.

I learned growing up that TV rots your brain. Modern social media works the same way, except that sometimes you can actually engage with it and maybe it rots your brain a bit less in that case. This is called "mindless entertainment", and various forms of it have always been fairly popular. When I use shallow reading for mindless entertainment, it displaces whatever else I'd be doing for mindless entertainment. Which is different from displacing serious reading, or even from displacing learning things for entertainment / mental exercise.
When people notice an influential employee that works at a company is active in a community, that presents them with an opportunity to talk to a living breathing person that might actually respond to questions that they feel have been ignored by official channels. People ask questions like this all the time. Unfortunately, sometimes its the only way to get someone at a company to actually help you.

I think it is understood from the context that PG is assumed to be a person of above average intellect and is thus expected to use more sophisticated and less lazy forms of arguments.

have you seen the performance graph? it went from 40% (other teams) to 60% (DeepMind 2 years ago) to 92% now.
School is free here too. Most people don’t go to college in either Finland or the US. (It’s slightly higher in the US.) But the average person who does go to college graduates with about $30,000 in debt. Which they will make up for given higher salary and lower taxes in the US within a few years. The median post-tax disposable income is $15,000 per year higher in the US than Finland.
I’ll be a bit pedantic, but you totally can do that (hacking dlls and binaries), it’s just the barrier to entry and the amount of effort needed is higher.
So direct cash transfers should stimulate local businesses by creating a local market for them, right?
