as a parent i can tell you that _NOONE_ is prepared before having children and that there will be times when your consideration and love leave you alone and you gonna fuck up.

but dont read this too negative, kids are the best there is!

and while a lot of the hn audience may think like:

> I hope parents can be considarate, prepared, loving and financially stable before having children.

if you wait til everyting is "perfect", you loose to the despicable retards that dont care.
Some people don't care and necro old threads, just to get the attention. They assume that it's worth pinging all the people involved in that thread, just in case somebody might know about their vaguely-relevant issue. After a while it becomes too tiresome and some maintainers decide that it's worth closing old threads.
Inequality today isn't caused by usury. Jeff Bezos didn't get rich by charging widows 300% apr loans. He got rich by lowering prices so low, and saving consumers so much, that the federal reserve literally blamed him for stunting inflation.

It's really quite interesting that it's really quite easy to insults that come from genuine concern, and insults that come from a desire to insult with no actual concern, and oddly enough, the former is what is often more a cultural taboo than the latter.

Insults such as “Get mental help.” are rarely a form of genuine concern, and fly around far more than legitimate concerned advise that one might benefit from such therapy.

I think it's more rare here than you would guess from our media and fictional accounts. When I was a kid I think I only met one kid with an imaginary friend, so the article's statement that "If you didn’t, chances are you know someone who did" was true in my case. On the other hand, it did seem really weird and notable to me at the time. In contrast, lots of kids in stories and on TV and in movies had imaginary friends. In the 1980s it freaked out American parents, too, and they worried about their kid being unable to tell the difference between fantasy and reality, and it became a huge media and cultural thing to talk about how it was okay and not something unhealthy, like "cross-dressing" more recently. I think in the service of that, it was not surprising for a kid in a story to have an imaginary friend. To me, it was something that was normal in a story but not in real life, like when a character in a story got to fly in an airplane.
In fact, in support of decentralisation I've been wanting to move my account off of mastodon.social for a long time now, but have not found (or even know where to look - no, the instance picker doesn't give me enough information) an instance that gives me even the confidence of mastodon.social that it will remain around, which already is lower than twitter.com's.

(And ideally one that lets me maintain my own blocklist rather than doing that for me, but I'm already accepting that at mastodon.social, so that's not a deal-breaker.)

I can't figure out where the logic is in not selling these Dubai bulbs in other markets at all. Why not just sell the expensive-to-make bulbs at an equal or higher margin than standard ones? Are they protecting the bulb-replacement specialist industry by giving them something to do? Where are the competitive free market forces?

I've been using LED lighting at home for a decade+ now. Some bulbs I bought back then still work. Many of the newer ones are failing fast, obviously struggling with heat in the fixtures they're in, which has been bothering me. The bits I like best are adhesive LED strips driven by a stand alone power supply with PWM dimmer in the living room. They're mounted in aluminum backed diffuser rails. I expect that stuff will last near as long as I do. They're under-driven and run cool, and the power supply seems high quality.
Investors...

In what? It’s a terrible currency. It’s a terrible store of value too since it requires the power of a small developed nation just to keep it online. Gold needs some security but otherwise gold atoms just sit there and gold. Property and widely diversified bags of assets are also better stores or value.

It’s not even really decentralized. Any industrial process is subject to economies of scale. If it sticks around eventually there will be one or two mining conglomerates. Pools already have quite a lot of power and could collude to attack the chain if they could profit by it or if nation states forced them.

It’s a transparent bubble and gambling vehicle with little other utility.

I'm not biochemist but:

1) If you are not eating for some extended period of time, your body starts to have deficit of not only glucose but also proteins which are then accquired from your own muscles. E.g you are not losing only weight but muscles too.

2) There are various types of immune system cells and they all have different lifespan. If your body detects new pathogen it start's to produce various new immune system cells to fight infection. For example: B-lymphocytes serves as "memory cells" for specific pathogens so it is required for them to live as long as they can.
What exactly are "old immune cells" then?

Thanks for answers :)

But there's an enormous difference between cosmic dust, which generally doesn't pose any threat to satellites or spacecraft, and the man-made "junk" that are essentially destructive whizzing bullets, cannonballs, and worse. The total mass is essentially irrelevant, what matters is the mass of individual objects.

> Or, at least they are in orbits where danger from natural debris is vastly greater than from space junk.

Are you sure? A quick online search reveals only two satellites appear to have been destroyed -- an Iridium satellite was destroyed in 2009 when it was hit by a junked Russian satellite, while in 1993 the European satellite Olympus was destroyed by a meteor.

So it would seem that so far, natural debris and space junk are tied 1-1. Why do you think natural debris is that much more of a risk?

Private prisons are a problem, but they are also sort of an overemphasized canard. They house under 10% of the prison population, and for several of the larger states it's none at all.

American state run prisons and their surrounding ecosystem of courts, municipal govts, vendors, etc have much of the perverse incentives and a far larger overall footprint
Beats me. This is why SourceHut lets you pick and choose any number of repos, bug trackers, mailing lists, etc, including zero, to associate with a project. I suspect that some projects just use GH to shut the peanut gallery up; a lot of people will demand that any large-ish project moves to GH if they aren't already there. That certainly seems like why Golang did it, for one.
A won't fix might make sense if the issue is a feature request that goes against the program philosophy. In that case forking the repo makes more sense.

I wholeheartedly agree that closing issues just because they are old is a terrible practice. It's also why I have stopped sending radars. No point of doing work for somebody else if it just generates even more work for me.
> And, as with today, usury was the underlying cause of the inequality.

Do you mean "usury" as in "lending money at interest"? I really don't see how that's the underlying cause of inequality. Very, very few (if any?) of today's financial elite became rich due to interest payments.

Any even if it were true: Good news, because interest rates are at a long-time low!
Thank you for sharing your experience. May I ask, how are you doing now? Did you find any ways to address or even overcome those past experiences?

I wonder can I compile Julia code into a Windows DLL? For instance, with AVX2 and DirectCompute included?

Currently writing C++/17 and HLSL. Would like to evaluate something higher-level. However, I think it’s unreliable in the long run to redistribute and support complicated packages like Python runtime or LLVM. Users mess with environment variables, update Windows, run antimalware, etc. Process startup time also matters, I don’t want to wait 40 seconds for the first output.

ReiserFS could apparently actually do that, rebuilding the FS by scanning the blocks... and would even merge contained ReiserFS images (for eg. virtual machines) into the top level FS.

I highly recommend watching the video interview (5 min.) embedded in the article, titled "Taken into foster care, through the eyes of a child".

It is not far from the beginning of the article. Here is the written caption:

"Before she was an inmate, Michelle Voorhees was a kid in foster care. Painting a vivid picture, Voorhees asks you to imagine the harrowing, disconcerting experience of being removed from your own home."

Search-in-page any part of the caption and it should be easy to spot.
I don't understand your point, if you are claiming that O2 is not abundant in space, I think the idea is that we also find an ice asteroid. Where there is water, there is oxygen.

Edit:
I assume people are missing my reasoning. Yes, water requires energy to split, but assuming you are doing some other process that ends up with a resulting split anyway, you could use the hydrocarbons as a fuel source at that stage. Think recycling, not energy production.
Sounds delicious!

I agree that cross cultural training is important, and indeed what is needed here. But I don't think this article is framed properly to be seen as cross cultural training. Instead this article portrays one culture only as seen from the other. It lacks the opposite view, failing to consider how the management culture might perceive the coders. The article neither suggests that the actions by management might be a reasonable response from their culture, nor does it suggest ways to better interact.

> If you don't show a certain modesty and humility in gift-receiving in China, you'll be an outcast. If you don't show a certain opulence and over-the-top gratitude in some parts of the Middle East and show the same, you'll be an outcast just as much.

In the context of this analogy, this article would be much like a Chinese rant on "how all Middle Easteners are Jerks for displaying their opulence, and therefore cannot be trusted". That is not an article that helps in cross-cultural training.

> The only reason anyone ever wants to disable disk caching is because they think it takes memory away from their applications, which it doesn't!

Wildly disagree!

I regularly want to disable disk caching when I want to be able to drop power or disconnect a drive without drive corruption.

With smaller “microcontrollers” running linux, their power could drop at any moment. With external drives, I might want to pull the drive the second it’s done transferring a file. Caches get in the way in both cases.

Something in the middle might be useful though. Discussing XOR and it's properties (the first part of the article) with the assumption the interviewee doesn't know them... and then working through what it means you can do with it (the second part) could be a useful exercise. "Given these properties, what can you do with it". To some extent, it still means the person that knows the tricks will do better.. but much less so.
Social technologies like monogamy, marriage, church, community, family, and even things we think of as "negative", like shame, were developed to combat much of this.

Now we're running around tearing down Chesterton's fence every time we see it, without bothering to ask why it was erected in the first place.

As an atheist, it's becoming increasingly evident that atheism has done great damage to society at large. We're foolish to think that social technology that has worked for thousands of years was only built (and replicated independently across hundreds of disparate societies) because we were too stupid/evil/backward to see real enlightenment.
Yes of course. It's a matter of efficiency. Certainly they aren't doing so optimally.

I'm not even trying to make any claims on magnitude. Just saying it's pretty clear if shipping/housing gold changes to bitcoin, if some amount of finance activity changes to Ethereum or some kind of DeFi, then this is not purely additive. It's replacing, and the article doesn't account for this

In some projects, the maintainers use issues to represent their task queue. That’s not necessarily intuitive for users but a perfectly legitimate thing to do.

I think that if a project uses that model then there’s nothing wrong with closing issues if you don’t intend to ever work on them.

IMHO, you should have moved the existing bulbs to the closet for if/when the new ones fail, so you can enjoy your upgrade. :)

To answer your question, it really depends. If they run cool, are a good design, and aren't defective, they will last incredibly long. Often, one or more of those things isn't true.
Yup. Especially if you already know a different language. I actually recently wrote "Twenty minutes to learn Go" [0] - I believe anyone who already knows a programming language can easily learn Go in less than an hour, and become productive very fast. Rust is a different beast altogether, but it is worth learning also.

Julia offers a wonderful modular ecosystem.

This is in no small part due to a clever design decision of language design of combining type genericism with multiple dispatch.

For example, Turing.jl for Bayesian Inference plays well with Flux.jl for Neural Networks which plays well with DifferentialEquations.jl for ODEs. Basically, everything in pure Julia plays nicely with everything else.

An example of how this useful: when neural ODES became more popular a couple of years ago, Julia users had to do almost nothing to implement them and extend them. DifferentialEquations.jl and Flux.jl already played nicely with each other, and you could just run wild. Meanwhile, in Python-land, there are devs building out ODE solvers built in Tensorflow and Pytorch, doing a load of duplicate work because the frameworks don't allow the same level of genericism.

The whole ecosystem is like this.

So I've decided to stay with Julia. I'm staying with Python too. It's no big deal.
Maybe keep an eye on this issue:

https://github.com/FluxML/Flux.jl/issues/1431

They are going for feature parity with pytorch hopefully in the near term.

It was a deliberate choice Americans made as a society. In Bangladesh, we have strong norms in favor of marriage and strong taboos against divorce. There is a whole social infrastructure for helping people enter marriage with realistic notions and expectations, and counseling couples through rough patches. It's not perfect by any means, but strong family and community bonds make life tolerable in a desperately poor country. And of course, unlike the United States, we can't afford to just throw government money at the problems created by out-of-wedlock births, marriages dissolving over solvable problems, etc.

It's truly not clear to me that the choice we made in America is the correct one. My wife's family is full of wonderful and loving people, they are suffering from our country's social dissolution (which has hit non-college educated people outside major metro areas especially hard). Nearly everyone is divorced, often several times over. Grandparents raise their grandchildren. Fathers are in some cases are absent entirely. Children grow up without stability. And now folks are getting close to retirement age with divorces having devastated their finances.

Nobody complains about puzzles in tech interviews. People care about uncreative "did you read this book about interview questions" questions. If you want to test tech knowledge in tech interviews, ask a question that isn't in any book. That takes a lot more skill as an interviewer to pull off, but if you're a hiring manager, surely you can find someone on your team qualified to design a puzzle.
It comes with the territory; aiding you in the quest for cool is one of GitHub's only value propositions. Because it's certainly not about productivity. People substitute having a conspicuous social presence for getting work done. Looking around at what everyone else is doing and copying that without thinking about what value it brings. Retroactively insisting they have value with subjective and unfalsifiable claims. It's all part of the tao of GitHub.
That fits if we think about it in POSIWID terms: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_purpose_of_a_system_is_wha...

If the true goal of the devs is to do the fun first 25% of the work, then the signs that a particular job hasn't been finished are unwelcome. A stale-bot sweeps most problems under the rug and, as we see in the discussion here, discourages reporting in the first place. The numbers look better, the devs get to feel like things are under control, and they get to rush on to the next shiny thing.

And perhaps it works one layer deeper, too. Their website's all about "fast, fast, fast"! They advertise the ability to "create a complete website in the time it usually takes to build a prototype". I would read a claim like that suspiciously: when I build prototypes, I leave out things that are important for sustainability. But the things I think are "finishing the job right" seem to others as tedious and uninteresting things to be skipped if possible. So perhaps the devs have found themselves an audience like themselves that are fine with a high level of brokenness as long as they get the feeling of moving forward quickly?
