FWIW I'm a biologist, though I've only done a little bit of work on aging.

> For example, if there was a human or animal genetic pattern that made the organism not age, wouldn't that organism have created many offspring (in its long life) and the mutation have spread?

First, aging is extremely complex and caused by a host of factors. No single gene or regulatory sequence could cause or prevent all of those things. Take DNA damage, for example. Read through this wikipedia article and notice how just within this single issue how many things can go wrong: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_damage_theory_of_aging

> Does the fact that we don't (appear to) observe any ageless vertebrates or humans mean that it's probably not a genetic problem?

The right way to think of this is that there's no genetic solution, or that one hasn't evolved yet in humans.

> is life on Earth already so old that everything that will exist has likely already evolved?

Evolution isn't linear. It just optimizes for whatever the current situation is. New genes are still being created (on evolutionary timescales anyway).

Until very recently, the average lifespan for a human was in the 20-30 year range. Even if lifespan-enhancing genetic changes did occur in some individuals, those people were dying of bacterial infections or starvation or whatever, so they never got the chance to live 300 years and have 280 children and thus "take over" the population. Also, as others have pointed out, genes that confer longevity may come at a cost. Humans are just so complex that every change is a tradeoff.
I need to look at this. If it supports json_agg for postgres instead of doing joins that'd be a winner in my book.
Many facilities have generators that are tied to the fire system and will not provide electricity when there is an alarm. A diesel generator tank is designed around (sized based on) the amount of time the facility is expecting to have fuel delivered. A more central location will have small tanks, remote locations will have larger. Gas powered generators are a great option because they do not run out of fuel, although they are dependent on the gas grid. Facilities running gas generators require an automatic safety shutoff valve (electronically actuated) to be tied to the fire system to prevent explosion.
Who are you responding to? Nobody in the article or the comments is advocating for reducing the human population.

Besides that, it's obviously not zero sum. Increasing the salmon population does not decrease the human population. Arguably, in the long run, what is good for the salmon is also good for the human.

Sure meat might become more of a luxury than it is now, but in a calorie to calorie trade off grains have a higher animal kill rate than grass fed meat. I don’t many people are aware how many rodents are killed harvesting and storing grain.

I'm not sure I understand how a patent system would ever encourage knowledge to be made public in a way that wouldn't have already happened.

Even with a patent system, if your innovation is not easily reverse-engineered then you have no reason to patent it. If you invention is easily reverse-engineered, then the knowledge becomes public effectively as soon as you release your innovation, and that is when a patent is most useful.

Thanks for posting. I can't find it now, but we mention somewhere in the paper that typing makes it more difficult to fake messages.

Well, the actual complexity of apply and unrecord is O(p c log h), where p is the size of the patch, c the size of the largest conflict in which p is involved, and h is the size of history. That makes Pijul perfectly usable, even on large repositories.

Perhaps you didn't read all of my comment. I said I end up with 10-20 upvotes. I also mentioned that these are opinions that HN as a whole finds popular.

It's the discrepancy between the initial voting within the first few minutes and the later voting that is strange. And it's always an initial 2-3 immediate downvotes, followed by dozens of upvotes.

That said, any discussion of downvotes or upvotes on HN will draw downvotes. That's a given.

Er should avoid meaningless terms like “lokdown light” and just say that we closed bars and restaurants and told people not to meet in private, which was largely ignored.
For a long time I had an idea that "A real salary is what is left after expenses" so if you earn monthly £2000 but your expenses are £1500 then £500 is your salary. If you earn £1500 but your expenses are £500 effectively you earn £1000 month or more than those that are paid more.

So, solution is to earn more or learn how to live more frugal? Of course it is not possible to reduce some expenses, and some expenses are in % (as taxes) so more you earn you will pay more.

At one point you could get to the point you do not think how much are your expenses, but for most of the people until that time you will realized that you sold so much time that your life has passed in front of your eyes.

Anyhow, it is good advice to find something you love and do it, as often 300 hours of unpaid hobby can give more joy and satisfaction than, all the money in of the best paid job in the world you could earn during that same time.

Those social clubs took considerably more time then 2 hours a week. The aspect of it was that only one partner participated, it is not like they would switch. If one partner was member, the other got less me time.

And the other aspect that you unappreciate is that they were not time for yourself not time she you get rest and get to do what you want. They over time are another social obligation. You need me time on top of that.

Also, bedtime story is like 10 minutes typically. That is not the issue. The issue is that your partner wants free time too, so the sort of free time you have gotta be split fairly.

It is no more nonsense that the OP’s argument. If you do an analysis on animals killed per calorie, grains kill many more animals than say grass fed cattle. I think many people are unaware how many rodents are killed every year growing and harvesting grains.

I don’t think this is a very good reason to eat or not eat meat.

I've been updating a small codegen since the 3.x days. There have been many API changes with major versions. That said, I always found it pretty easy to implement the changes (something like a workday for my ~10k LLVM-interfacing LoC), and the changes tend to be such that once you get it to compile again, it just works as before.

I think LLVM is an excellent demonstration of how to design and implement big systems well in C++, and as a part of that, they also do breaking changes pretty well.
But that is what I says - social clubs as social engagement means that you require your partner to do almost all childcare. Like, you monopolized free time for own fun.

Most of what you call other priorities does not disappear if you don't want to do it or prefer social. If you don't feel like doing it tonight, simply, someone else have more chores to do.

On a side note, I never followed the project very closely but I was really hopeful for soylent. What happened? Is the technology just not there? Do we not know enough about human physiology? What is missing to take the soylent idea — which I understood as automate most (boring) meals — and make it a reality?

I saw a quora answer which says we simply don’t know enough about the science behind food but to me it implies that maybe some day our knowledge will get there?

People laugh but the idea of “bachelor chow” from futurama makes sense to me.

I don’t know enough about the topic of ethical vegetarianism to criticize it. I eat meat. In fact, I had fish for dinner last night. I just don’t think about the ethics of it.

Now I may sound hypocritical when I say this because I’m against policy action through taxation (make taxes as simple as possible by eliminating all income tax credits and deductions). However, I know I’ll continue to eat meat (including milk, eggs, chicken, pork) unless it is either too impractical or too expensive.

I want to believe that if push comes to shove I’ll be able to adjust my eating habits and that my current eating habits are not a part of my identity.

I don’t really have a point to make here except that something like soylent would go a long way toward making me vegetarian at least for the meals I eat alone.

Exciting app :) . Have requested access to the private beta
> Some features, such as support for some external libraries (libx264 and libx265 for example) and various filters, are covered by the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2 or later (see commercial x264 license exception below). If those parts get used the GPL applies to all of FFmpeg. See LICENSE.md in the source to see a list of GPL parts of FFmpeg and which external libraries require GPL

So basically where it counts (x264 and x265), I can't.

LATER EDIT:

I remember looking into this a while ago in quite a bit of detail: https://www.engadget.com/2010-05-04-know-your-rights-h-264-p... (there's plenty of other links to this).

Long story short, MPEG LA owns some patents that relate to h264/h265, and you need to pay them A LOT of $ in order to use these codecs. Using ffmpeg will not devoid you of that.

Also, even somewhere on the ffmpeg page, when I last read it, it will say something more in the lines of "we're not lawyers, so take this with a grain of salt".

----------

So all in all, after doing quite a bit of research, seeing how vague the licensing from MPEGLA is and all that, I started looking for alternatives. I found one (from Microsoft), and that's what I'm using. At this point, it satisfies most of my needs (even though I had to do lot of optimizations on top of it) -- in case this won't hold true in the future, I may revisit the whole ffmpeg mambo-jambo :D
Yes, but the article argued exactly that it pays off, i.e. has utility for survival so high it exceeds the cost.

If it was not useful for survival, play (as defined in the article) could be thought of as the pinnacle of existence, useless on its own with everything else building up to it; but it is not that, it is argued to be merely a means.

With comment presenting the opposite viewpoint to TFA, either I was missing its point, or it reacted purely to the keyword “play” in the title and not the substance, or it was begging for someone to reply and ask for elaboration (which I did).
> They're are many Ruby implementations

Not with truly independent parsers; as I understand, most (maybe all) use, either directly or by way of a direct translation, parse.y from MRI.

> and on top of that rubocop has an independent parser.

Rubocop (or, rather, the parser gem it depends on) seems to have an independent lexer and a parser that is a Bison translation (maybe even mechanical, I'm not sure) of MRIs parse.y.
Haskell allows you to build a (lazy) linked list of characters sourced in blocks from strict ByteStrings, which are pointers to bytes with an offset and length. Leaving out the garbage collection of the cons cells (I would hope that the cons cells are reused in some situations, but I don't know the specifics), I think this is quite a nice interface.

iolist sounds like lazy ByteStrings in Haskell. They are lists of strict ByteStrings.
> The zen of Rust is not to eliminate unsafe code. That would require a compiler so ludicrously sophisticated that it would be borderline magical

The storage animation goes through some of it but for the basics using something like an 80/20 rule for content popularity you can also apply that to data cost. Your most popular 20% of content needs to be as close to the client as possible and will probably be the most expensive for you to store (typically in 1 or many CDNs).

The next most popular 20% will probably be semi expensive but doesn't need to be as close. This can be a subset of CDNs (where it financially makes sense) or georeplicated s3 buckets.

The lower ~60% of your content probably doesn't get accessed very often (relative to "hot" content) and depending on your content and user demands can probably live in your own data centers or POP locations.

You'll want to make it as easy as possible to promote/demote content into these tiers. Content popularity happens seasonally and in different regions so keeping the APIs similar between tiers will help you a lot. S3 is a pretty good standard to build toward so you'll probably want something like that on-prem or in your k8s clusters (minio, swift, etc.). We're also talking about each movie having potentially thousands of assets to track (different encodings for video and audio and different DRM wrappers etc) and hundreds or thousands of terabytes for big catalogs. So using immutable object storage is going to save you a TON of time instead of sticking with POSIX based block or file storage.

During the file ingest (when your encoding it) you're probably going to be dealing with POSIX based files so the encoders can work on the file but you'll want as many systems after that dealing with object storage as soon as possible.

The thousands, maybe millions of old coins that we find from previous eras are absolutely a commodity, and it doesn’t detract from our heritage in the slightest.

The largest set of coins I’ve seen was in the british museum and that was already too much. I think they have one of every variety of coin and it just makes my head spin.

Once they have one of each (add another 10 for other musea across the country) the remaining thousands can remain in private hands.
