Your statement is correct. But, after poking around the site, none of the exercises demonstrated ‘isolate’ specific muscles. They are all free weight and body weight moves.

These moves will never isolate specific muscles, and do precisely what you suggest. They work many groups, and smaller stabilization muscles at the same time.

The only way you can really isolate specific muscles is to use static machines. Still better than not working out, but not optimal.

So fear not, these are all great moves to learn! Just be careful to take it slow, and practice good technique. Not worth getting injured from being careless.

This seems to be more of, pick muscle I want to improve, and learn a few moves that involve those muscles. As you would expect, a lot of moves apply to multiple muscles.

Edit: I found a few machine workouts on there, mostly leg stuff. The large majority are free weight moves though.
One of the short stories in Ted Chiang’s recent book Exhalation deals with this theme. It’s a pretty interesting and entertaining read.

I stated that I have not experienced the phenomenon that the author suggests is emergent from the construction of market-rate housing. I didn’t say that it can’t happen or that I’m an authority on the topic.

Aside from the empirical studies, have you personally experienced (or know someone that has experienced) a reduction in rent as a direct result of adding non-“affordable” (eg. luxury or market rate) housing to their neighborhood? I’d love to hear another perspective.

I’m sorry if I gave you the impression that I was trying to position myself as an expert. I try to make my language clear about my experience but sometimes I might not mail it in such a way as to not be misinterpreted.
I was clearly very wrong about your intent. I like both your position and your reasoning for it. Good luck out there!
This is the "there's no such thing as free will" argument, which is even more implausible than time travel.

> [...] throw away the idea of internet freedom and just use the best performing browser of the week.

I'm not sure if you realise the ridiculousness of your statement.

I think many of your citations are used on a surface level to push your point. I don't think you considered the reasons for Chrome's dominance in the market, which is more to do with other issues such as Google's position of power than the issues you brought up here.

Chrome on Android has never supported addons, and now with Google spear heading changes such as manifest v3, I would consider these worse than decisions Mozilla have made with Firefox. You fail to mention decisions such as Mozilla's continued investment into tracking protection, which have been inheriting protections originating from the Tor Browser project.

I think the reasons why Mozilla have decided to slowly reintroduce addons to their new Android release should be considered. Their efforts to work with uBlock Origin to create a better mobile interface seems to point towards a desire for quality control, one that Google avoids with Chrome on Android altogether.
Does anyone know why some European languages (notably German) have different words for the fruit "apfelsine" and the colour "orange"? In German they are mostly interchangeable (as I understand), but some languages still have the distinction.

There is actually a native plant 'sea buckthorn' with fruits that are very orange coloured. It is rather common in some parts of Europe. What colour was this called before 'orange'?

This is my programming version of another joke I heard:

A guy walks into a bar and sees a group of people. One of them says a number and the rest laugh. Then the next person says a number and everyone laughs again.

"What are you doing?" he asks them.

"We're telling each other jokes, but since we keep telling the same ones, we've assigned each a number and rather than telling the whole joke all over again, we can just reference it quickly that way"

"Can I try?"

"Sure, go ahead"

"42", the guy says.

Everyone starts laughing and laughing and won't stop.

"What did I say?"

"Well you see, the joke you told us was:

A guy walks into a bar and sees a group of people. One of them says a number and the rest laugh... etc. etc."

---

In the original joke the last answer was simply "We hadn't heard that one before", but I'd like to think my recursive version has more depth to it.
That's a poor reading of Acts 5, from a literary perspective.

5 Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property. 2 With his wife’s full knowledge he kept back part of the money for himself, but brought the rest and put it at the apostles’ feet.

3 Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land? 4 Didn’t it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn’t the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied just to human beings but to God.”

To point out the salient quote, "Didn’t it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn’t the money at your disposal?" The reason for the death was lying. It was lying to the community. It was lying to look good to community, but in fact not having its interests at heart.

This also stands as evidence that Christianity, while wholeheartedly communialist is not communist nor socialist as defined Marx or Engles. The State, i.e. the Church/Apostles, does not lay claim to the means of production or personal/private property. It asks for charity. Communism has the State own everything. If anyone doesn't fall in line, they're killed.

Think what they're getting at is that it won't happen that way. Gun will jam, you die of a brain aneurysm. We don't exist in a universe where impossible things happen, so we can't bring them about. But yes, the article doesn't really sink its teeth into it.
Iirc there is no requirement for mass/energy to be conserved, and some models of expansion require conservation to be violated.
Groan!
I don’t have the details but I’m pretty sure passage of time is due to a tendency for entropy to increase, and that if I go back in time a second by, say, walking backwards, it is no more a violation of the cons of energy as if I walk forward.
But not the comment (I hope). Either way, it doesn't matter, the commenter I replied to gave me a thoughtful response and I have to admit that I was wrong.

There is a post ww2, really post 1970s mythos about the founders being deists of the sort we have in philosophy departments today. Because some of the founders were... low church Christians who read the bible as they saw fit, this thesis can be maintained by citations back to the original claimant. Argument from authority at its best.

Of course, this view of the founders unravels pretty quickly when reading their personal writings or the federalist papers.

John Jay comes to mind, perhaps a second tier father but none the less a fairly 'orthodox' christian at least by american protestant standards.

My suspicion is that this book is motivated by the desire to undermine the Christian foundations of american to make further secularization 'natural' and 'in keeping with our foundational documents,' rather than the clear departure that it plainly is.

Professors are people too, with their biases and ideologies.

I myself am happy to bean increasingly secular nation, but I dont share the authors desire to erase the past
Hey,

Your website's portal is down, I tried tweeting and email but I'm not getting a response. Just wanna make sure everything is ok
I suppose it would be possible under certain assumptions- The main one being that both the past and present would need to be parts of the same system.

Take this with a grain of salt, as I'm vastly underqualified to even form an opinion on this subject.
If OP has lurked HN before, chances are they’ve seen how HN can respond to other sites. Even if it wasn’t necessary, can understand why they might think it was.

And not that all responses aren’t well intended, but they can sometimes come across a bit tough, especially if someone wasn’t looking for feedback.
> blue is "blue-green like the sea"

Hmm. In contrast, it always bothered me that English idioms referred to the sea as blue when you can go look at it and it's a deep green. (Formative experiences of seeing what color the sea is took place in the Bay Area.)
I find every solution except "time travel always results in a parallel universe" to be too messy and weird. I also prefer that solution for faster than light travel, since that's also basically time travel.

Of course, this is entirely an aesthetic opinion and not scientific on my part.

Why does anyone really care about non-free firmware blobs? If the alternative is the firmware is just built into the device somehow, the firmware is still just as non-free, despite that you can make a fully open driver.

If anything, letting the driver upload its own firmware is more open.

Edit: replies are misunderstanding what I'm saying: you can have a 100% free and open driver without binary blobs if the blob was instead embedded in the target device -- but I'm arguing this is not any more open than allowing a mostly free driver to upload a blob.
> What the scientific paper actually says (as best I can understand it) is that, if the universe is entirely deterministic, the conditions necessary for time travel can only occur when the time traveling wouldn't cause a paradox.

It's actually even more general than that: under non-deterministic laws (such as the way most people currently understand quantum mechanics), if time travel is possible at all, the probability of it will only be nonzero for time travel scenarios that do not cause a paradox. (I don't think this is discussed in the paper referenced in the article, but it is discussed in some of the other papers that that paper references--IIRC the Novikov paper is one of them.)
Someone else got downvoted to oblivion for this, though it deserves to be higher because it’s a classic: “I know a UDP joke, but I’m not sure you’ll get it”.
Pretty sure a patent like that would be invalidated due to prior art. It might be expensive to take to court though. Obligatory IANAL.
It seems that an error message at the appropriate time - perhaps triggered by not finding any network or by an lspci database - indicating the likely problem and suggesting solutions could be useful.
As I commented sidethread, I was disturbed -- as an American growing up in America -- that the language always referred to the sea as blue when, if you look at it with your eyes, it's obviously green.

Perhaps the sea is greener near Portugal and Brazil inherited the description, in the same way that Americans inherited the description of a blue sea and never bothered to reevaluate it?
Seriously there is one WiFi chip family that has open source firmware (ath9k_htc). It does not do ac/ax -- only b/g/n. Not particularly common in the wild. Most Intel, Realtek, Qualcomm, Mediatek, et cetera WiFi chipsets require non-free firmware.

It makes the official installation boot media useless for consumer laptops.

I guess that is not their market if they have left it like this so long.
A programmer, an engineer, and a physicist are in adjacent hotel rooms. Each has a pitcher of water beside the bed. A fire starts in the wastepaper basket in each room.

The physicist wakes up, sees the fire, estimates exactly how much water is needed to put it out, and pours exactly that amount from the pitcher, dousing the flames.

The engineer wakes up, sees the fire, pours the entire pitcher of water on it, then refills the pitcher and douses it again to be safe.

The programmer wakes up, sees the fire, sees the pitcher of water, decides it's a solvable problem, and goes back to sleep.
This is the zenith of “you spent so much time thinking if you could, you forgot to ask if you should.”

A doctor, an architect and a programmer talk about their professions. "Mine is the oldest", says the doctor, "as everybody knows God created Eve from the rib of Adam, and that's definitely a medical operation". "Right", says the architect, "but in fact architect is even older - it's definitely an architectural project to create the world from chaos". At this point programmer kicks back in the chair and gives friends a mysterious look. "Who, do you think, created the chaos?"

The canonical version of this is "naming things". It's more general than just variable names as anyone who has dealt with a thingAbstractFactoryFactory or the problem of generating unique names in a distributed environment will attest.
non-free drivers are also a problem, but the main issue is non-free firmware, which runs on the device itself rather than on the CPU like the driver.
They are the same color, just with different brightness levels. If you make a table with RGB values: #00FF00, #008800, #004400, and #000000, you'll see the "lime" green move more towards a forest green. You're not adding other colors, just reducing the intensity of the color.

Blue is pretty similar. The #0000FF blue is pretty different from a nice #000044 navy blue.
Since repayment will be a burden borne by the fortunate through taxation and inflation, isn't "checks for everyone" in a sense equivalent to "checks for the needy"? Except we all save the trouble of means testing, or the sting of missing out on a windfall.

The thesis of vim is that editing is more fundamental to the act of writing than inputting text. The default mode, normal mode, is entirely shortcuts to do editing tasks better and easier. Moving around the document, and moving or deleting text are the primary concern.

What's more, as several other commenters have alluded to, vim thinks of editing as a language. There are verbs like cut or copy or paste, and there are nouns like [this] sentence or [this] word or one word backwards or from here until the letter j. Once you start building sentences of editing commands (e.g. copy from here to the 3rd next instance of the a line starting with 'Hello' namely <y3/^Hello>) the flexibility it offers is unparalleled. This is all done from your default context without fingers leaving the keyboard. Once you achieve fluency (admittedly not a trivial task) there is no context switching for any editing task, it becomes reflexive and subconscious.

Other stuff, like macros and registers, or easy access to regexes and ex commands help extend this, but the core reason why vim is still used today is this strength.

I'd highly recommend another classic response, given here, elaborating on the nature of vim as a language for editing: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1218390/what-is-your-mos...

There are other ways than WiFi to get networking on these devices though, for eg Ethernet or mobile tethering over USB.
> On more than one occasion, I ended up using a rocky tethered connection to my iPhone, retrying several times due to dropouts, to get Broadcom wifi drivers installed

Funny enough going off of this, I really like how with Android, it's really easy to share a Wi-Fi connection over USB to a computer, instead of having to use data. On more than one occasion myself, I've simply left an old android phone (that has no SIM card or data plan) attached to a computer to give it internet for months instead of buying a wifi card.

Are there ideas out there which "explain away" the problems arising from planetary/stellar movement?

My naive understanding of time travelling back a single day would put me in a spot where earth will be a day later.
Neither possibility really makes more "sense" than the other. And it's effectively impossible to prove experimentally -- in a "many branching worlds" universe, you could never conclusively prove or disprove its existence, even if you experimentally demonstrated this kind of "self correcting" time travel, as you may have simply created a branching universe where it appears to you that you did so.

It's metaphysical philosophizing as far as I'm concerned -- interesting, but not terribly applicable, and heavily influenced by one's own beliefs and preexisting notions about the world.
