With posts like this I always have to think of the fivemouse.com website that I stumbled on via Slashdot [1] in 2002. It made a great impression om me back in the day. It still lingers on archive.org [2].

I was elevating visibility of probable bias. I was surprised at the effectiveness here.

I'm aware of HN's policy regarding material rather than sources. I disagree: quality assessment costs are significant, HN struggles with this as it is, time and attention finite, and reputation a useful and generally, if not universally reliable mechanism and heuristic for effecting low-cost dismissal of noise.

In this particular case it's not even a matter of safety: pasta with <13 mg/lb of iron is no more or less safe than pasta with >13 mg/lb, and as far as I can tell (read: Wikipedia) iron deficiency does not appear to be a serious health problem for most Americans (or Europeans). If anything, mandatory enrichment seems like an arbitrary trade barrier imposed on the US side to protect what the article calls "Big Pasta" from foreign interlopers.
It seems like there do exist more than enough research to perfect agriculture, it's just that it's socioeconomically inviable. Set up optimized, automated farms and you'll be seeing unemployment by the millions as traditional farmers are suddenly deemed obsolete, especially in poor countries that still have majorly agrarian economies.
This sounds like how many places in the Netherlands are. A small town (1000-75000) often with an ancient core (ours dates back to 1300) with the church repurposed as a microbrewery, shops and apartments. Then around that core, ever more recently built houses with yards and a more affordable €/m2 price the further you move out. It puts bars, sports, parks, restaurants, groceries in walking and biking distance, often with bigger cities nearby for theatres, university, or more niche shopping, accessible via public transportation or cars in ~30min.

Just last week, a song from this album popped on my Spotify discover weekly and I really liked it. Until I read your comment right now, I didn’t understand the context of the album. When I checked the screen to see what I was listening to I first thought it was done in parody or in a mocking fashion or something. I had a mental note to go back and research it a bit more to figure out what it really was, and now I know. And I’m suddenly excited to go back and listen to the entire album. Thanks!
At this point I believe it's just frontline health workers and elderly individuals in assisted living facilities. In those situations eligible people are being notified by their applicable institutions (employer, etc.) to schedule their first dose. I'm not sure what the process will look like once things get more broad (over 65, etc.), but I suspect it will be well publicized.
Great article, but I have to admit I'm a bit surprised by the adoration here: I've on occasion accidentally bought bucatini when I wanted spaghetti, and was mostly annoyed by the tubes squirting out hot water when I tried to eat them like they were spaghetti. Any bucatini-optimized pasta recipes to recommend?
You could consider painting or landscaping residential or commercial properties.

You learn by upgrading the residences of family and friends well enough to show off your efforts, gain recommendations and launch free-lance work.

At some point you may need a license or registration and you should be prepared to be bonded, insured, and proficiency tested, or you may need to work for another licensed contractor before you can _graduate_ to going commercial on your own.

I really agree with you.

I feel the extension of young and healthy life (ideally to infinity) is a number one priority.

Surprisingly, people almost always strongly oppose when I just start expressing my views. I never understood this.

Wouldn't it be nice to see Mars colonized and terraformed? Wouldn't it be great to see the completion of a Dyson swarm and using 100 % of the Sun energy for some ultra-mega-project we can't even fathom yet?

Exactly. I have many friends who refuse to play with me because I blundered into that when I was in high school and continued to refine it. I guess it just clicked for me but seems to be hard for many people to really understand.

Electronics has always contained computer science to an extent for me.

Even though when I started it was still mechanical computation, I could do some good science anyway, and I had many years of anticipation before having adequate computational electronics of my own.

Years more until the programmable electronics that was so promising.

Still basically just want to get the most out of the circuit whether it's analog or digital, sometimes you program sometimes you don't.
Kindergarten? School?

At least in Norway the government has focused on locking down old -> young. So bars and restaurants and gyms are pretty much shut down, put kindergarten and primary schools are still open with some restrictions.

Mind you though. Most of the people I know with small kids didn’t have much time to spend on side projects before the lockdown either. Only difference now is that they save an hour of travel a day.

There are legal expectations for parental behavior at a Societal level, and perhaps informally at a Community level. Is that enough?

Always thought a parental/guardian “report card” for those caring for school age children would be a good idea. We measure students and teachers, why not parents? Teachers rate parents on the educational support they provided their children and their teachers. Red/yellow/green, meaningful in child custody case and the like. Just an idea...

> If someone counts me down, I expect them to say "5, 4, 3, 2, 1, GO", and I expect a timer to do the exact same thing.

"Exact same thing" isn't really possible here because the timer needs to show each integer for a duration of 1 second, while the spoken words each have a duration of much less than 1 second. So much less that they're really identifying a moment (perhaps the initial consonant, or the peak amplitude) rather than a window of time. This is why "go" is able to be intuitively anticipated accurately.

If the timer app flashed each number briefly, with no display for the vast majority of each second, then it could do the "exact same thing" as spoken English. Considering the transition from displaying one number to displaying the next as analogous to a spoken word is about as good as we'll get, in which case "1" ought to be displayed for one second immediately prior to "go" (don't display "0" for the last second and certainly not for a half second).
>> Right, I'm thinking specifically of code like shaders that do produce copyrighted content.

> What do you mean by this exactly?

Sorry for the delayed reply.

Procedural content is generally produced by code that generates somewhat randomized 'assets' on the fly, whether it is a generated map of game locations, a generated planetary system, generated alien plant & creatures, buildings and cities, people and clothing, weapon/robot/vehicle designs, etc.

The generating code can be just code, or sometimes the code recombines existing assets. In the latter case omitting the assets is sufficient for the purposes of distinguishing assets from code (without the assets in the first place, there is nothing for the code to recombine).

But the former case, where assets are procedurally generated (materials, textures, models, bump maps, locations, etc.) from code alone, is the more interesting one.

It is fairly clear that art assets being generated on-demand likely embody a game-specific look and feel that is subject to the usual copyright, trademark and trade dress issues even though any specific image doesn't exist ahead of time.

So if there is code that generates (within constraints) randomized textures used in the game, how do you see that code and the resulting assets being licensed?

Perhaps the code itself is treated like all the other code in the game, but the settings data that steers the generating code toward a particular 'look' is separated out and treated as an asset?

You are correct in that there is a definition of idempotence that agrees with you, but you are wrong to correct the parent comment, because the most common mathematical definition of idempotence of functions agrees with them (and not you).

There are multiple definitions of idempotence, used even within computer science, and neither of you seem to be aware of the definition used by the other. The common mathematical definition of an idempotent function is that f(f(x)) = f(x) for all x. But in computer science there is another common definition which involves side effects not being repeated (that is, `f(); f();` is the same as `f();`).
I read a theory suggesting that eardrum fatigue is the reason. ANC does not hurt us even if it is loud. We are hearing a sound but not a ”real” one, but our eardrums still vibrate a lot. The thinking is that high level ANC is as fatigue inducing to eardrums as prolonged music listening. That’s why I nowadays recommend to friends to not use ANC on its own for too long daily.
I was ghosted for many months this summer by a company for a Head of Software Engineering role. I had been referred in by friends/ex-colleagues who worked here "Paul would do great things here" type of thing. One has left. I'm checking on the other before I name names.

I completed an entire day of back to back Zoom interviews in March, thanked all the interviewers by email, saying "I'm looking forward to the next steps". There was a bunch of people on their side scheduling everything for me including dropping for flights and hotel (which the canceled and swapped for zoom a day or two before). Those were not recruiters as such, but admin assistants, directors and a CIO. I sent another "catching up" email with the director who was charged with handling my candidacy. I got a reply in June just under three months from the interview day.

In the meantime I'd gently nudged the two that referred me in as to what expectations I could have as a candidate and they were embarrassed. There's only so much you can do in this situation. You know, to a great degree those that refer people in have to recuse themselves.

I've been ghosted a few times since too. The above story is the max effort on my part to get to the ghost outcome.

I'd be keen on a site that was an agreed policy on candidate handling. Each time there's a candidate that gets put forward something that private key encrypted gets written to a public ledger ($1 charge to recruiter). Each time there's progress another record is written. Ghosting means no updates. The Ledger service will notify all parties of updates. Any of the parties could disclose the key to make all the records public. There's be terms and conditions for that. The candidate can pay a second fee - say $10 - for a review of the record and a change in the status of the recruiter. The recruiter can protect themselves from shitty clients with "sorry paul, I've heard nothing new from <client> re your candidacy. Each candidate/candidacy has a state "explicit rejection" or "effectively ghosted". That bit not encrypted. The recruiters get a badge they can use that makes it clear what their stats are.

There's some privacy concerns too for that service - how can the legal entity not monetize & not leak the bits that should remain private. In summary I'm thinking about something that's different to ghostreply.com which is like the "Just a Tip" site & email service from the 90's.
All about the presentation in the end I guess.

In the "Alive" film from 1993 about the Uruguayan Rugby team they started ratting the buttocks out of starvation when their plane crashed on top of a mountain. They couldnt ID which bodies where whom by that point so they chose the meatiest behind among the initial group who died in the plane crash.

I wanted to like the surface hardware because it kind of seems to run Linux and it is portable. According to 'the internet' that is. I tried different products, all with Windows only before trying Linux (which never happened) and found them surprisingly bad overall compared to Lenovo or Apple. Either all of them were bad luck factory mistakes or some people here have rosy MS glasses on.

First off, The support was horrible: on my first purchase (with MS directly ever by the way) they blamed me squarely for a 1 day old (!) Factory broken display (it would turn on but when it got a bit warm it would show only stripes; switching off and waiting for cool off would 'fix it': did I say less than 24 hours old!?); I sent it in and they said I broke it and told me I could buy a new one.

Also when I got a new one, the new keyboard was broken and they refused to replace that as well. Again, blaming me from something that came broken from the box.

And the rest of the experiences was not much better but at least they took them back without whining (there i learned my lesson and went to a shop instead of order online). Horrible battery life (far from what is promised on the tin, even with relatively low workload), random freezes and crashes, weird balance feel compared to, say an iPad or mb air and slow compared to old and new apple products (iPad and macbooks).

After all I was most angry about the bad support; I never had that with apple even when it was my own fault (they repaired a water damaged mb air without issues and replaced two iPad pro keyboard which where damaged by dropping for free) which this was not.

I tried to give them a chance and I tried: I got most of my money back luckily as after the first fiasco I prepared for that and returned them to the shop in the box, but definitely will not buy again soon.
There's no way to know what really happened. It's entirely possible the client wanted the agent to accept a thinner margin in order to meet your target number. And the recruiter is forbidden from telling you this because client hiring budgets are confidential.

This is common, the recruiter wants to be transparent, but they can't. You wish the negotiation was characterized by symmetry of information flow, but it isn't.

> From my limited understanding and I hope someone will correct me, it is a continuation monad. Everything I know about monads comes from "Explain Monads Like I'm five" by Theofanis Despoudis [2]

Futures/promises do form a monad. async/await is not a monad since async and await are not values, functions, or anything really. If they're implemented on top of futures/promises then async/await are like a hamstrung version of do notation that only works for one particular monad.

Also async/await is not really full continuations, it's a very restricted subset of continuations (which is good, full continuations are incomprehensible).
