In case anyone is interested, Sean Carroll did an amazing podcast episode on the mechanics of time travel in a scientifically accurate way [1]. He sometimes works as a scientific advisor on Hollywood movies and claims to be responsible (in part) for the line "You mean Back to the Future is bullshit?" in 'The Avengers: Endgame'. He also touches on the topic of killing Hitler as well as different tropes in time travel movies. He also points out one particular movie which he thinks did time travel logic best: Bill and Ted's excellent adventures.

What do you mean by moving from one smell to another smell?

Time is a kind of position; smell isn't.
I live in Blackpool.

On Sunday, I was walking north from North Pier, slightly below the sea wall; with the sound of the waves rolling over the vast beach (rated as "Excellent"). There was pure January light reflecting from those incredible hills of Cumbria, and I had 11 miles of immaculate footpaths ahead of me.

You can find dreary anywhere, but also incredible beauty if you look; Blackpool, or Paris, or anywhere inbetween.
The past is, as they say, another country. I was a child in the UK in the 70s and that is indeed what people looked like. These days, the pictures seem grim, but people were happy enough. I think it's the clothes. By 2020 standards, everyone dressed very formally, and it just looks a bit alien and unnerving now.

I'm interested in portrait-shoots, and shooting animals. For that I use a Canon 5D MK III, with a MK II as a backup in case the main camera dies.

When I was looking around, years ago, at buying a DSLR there were a few options. Canon & Nikon were the obvious ones, along with Sony (who bought Minolta) and a few others. I went to a store and held them all - in the end the Canon felt most comfortable for my (smallish) hands.

I started out with a Canon Rebel, but you'll soon discover that when you buy a few lenses you get "locked in". When I'd spent £750+ on lens and wanted a better body it made no sense to switch to a Sony, Nikon, or other brand. So I bought the next body up, gradually getting to where I am today.

If you stick with the standard/stock/"free" lens you can switch around freely. But if you spend a few thousand over a few years you're almost never going to switch brand. Selling used lenses is pretty easy, and they mostly hold their value. But even so you need to be somewhat aware of the possible choices you're restricting yourself towards.

That's what I read from Wikipedia, I do not really see how this changes the statement.

The intent is all fine and good, but that doesn't excuse legislative influence that is so disproportionate to population. In general I'm a a little skeptical that "intent" matters at all; what matters is practical political power no matter how you label it - but even if we were to constrain ourselves to the notion of representing states, not people: they can represent their states just fine even if the number of senators varies by state. The idea that all states are equal should be dropped.

> Dostoevsky had himself adopted an attitude of ‘gentle and total resignation’ that brought him – like Molinos and Schopenhauer before him.

As can be gleaned from the ending of Crime and Punishment, Dostoevsky's version of quietism comes from Christianity, but not from Miguel de Molinos. It is hesychasm, and it would have been nice for the article to do a more thorough dive into the roots of this practice in Christianity – and I mean all Christianity, not solely the Catholic church where it was demonized, but the other side of Christianity where it was adopted as a core tenet.

I'm referring to Eastern Orthodox, which would have simply been "Christianity" to Dostoevsky. Hesychasm was a sort of ritual prayer to retire "inward" and away from all the senses in order to achieve a more direct union with God, often by using a word or a mantra to concentrate and free the mind. This practice was characterized as "magic" or "mysticism" by Western Christianity [1], as was alluded to in the article.

In any case, it dates from Gregory Palamas in the 13th-14th century, ahead of Molinos' 17th. Interestingly, there is a lot of argument about whether hesychasm is quietism, even though quietism is the translation of the term hesychasm – my guess is because nowadays the Catholic church is trying to be more friendly with the practices of the Orthodox, recognizing them as fellow Christians, but trying to avoid contradicting its previous word.

This study doesn't mean much to me. I started taking Vitamin D as soon as I heard about it being of benefit ... early last year.

My reading of the literature showed that Vitamin D is useful for so many health effects due to its many interactions. Being low in general isn't a good idea. I'm in direct sunshine for around 2 hours a day. White skin with a tan. So I chose a dosage that shouldn't cause imminent death and then a few weeks after I got a full blood test. Mainly to confirm that side effects of too much vitamin D weren't taking hold. Surprisingly even with taking the capsule once a day I found I was still low. So the doctor upped my amateur considered dose to his recommendation.

Get your own blood tested and confirm for yourself. Leave the anti-vitamin people to themselves. I got repeatedly criticized for supplementing. People quickly shut up when you show your blood results.

I realise anecdata is fun to mock, but in my sample size if I'd seen a study like this and fully believed it then maybe I wouldn't have done the blood test. I wonder how many other people are low in vitamin D and have no clue.

The article refers to the United States as "capitalist". In reality, it has a mixed economy. Capitalist elements such as a market economy are mixed with statist elements such as eminent domain, taxes on income, high amounts of regulation in most industries, a large welfare state, public funding of science and education, public control over air travel, radio, etc.

Properly defined, "capitalism" is a political term: a government organized around the defense of individual rights is a capitalist one. (Communist China has a market economy, but it is not a capitalist country.)

The United States came near to being a purely capitalist society in the late 19th century, but it is simply false to call it capitalist today.
> Typescript actually has an insanely powerful type system, in many ways much more advanced than Scala's type system and certainly more advanced than "vanilla" Haskell (i.e. something like Haskell2010).

That's a strange claim. I mean, yeah, maybe you can say that it's more advanced than "vanilla" Haskell, but how many people use no extensions at all?

As for the comparison with Scala - maybe for Scala 2 that's true because of union- and intersection-types and Scala 2's lack of certain typelevel programming features.

But when compared to Scala 3 - is there anything major that you can do with typescript but not with Scala 3?

When I looked at typescript, my impression was that it has a lot of special rules and special syntax for certain typelevel programming features. Which is nice in many cases, but it doesn't compose and does not age very well. Still, I'm happy to see this development in a mainstream frontend language.

Oh thankyou. This sounds interesting.
Yup. So much on that website is hilariously out of date.

Even its so-called recommendations are out of date, for example (but not limited to) GNU IceCat, Wikipedia says last release: "60.7.0 (2 June 2019; 19 months ago)".

You might be thinking as a technologist rather than as a business person. Debian is great, but there is no accountability if things go wrong. Accountability and QA may be worth the licensing costs, even if 100% of the software is "free".
> Indexing of natural collections is based on cardinality, not ordinality.

You are exactly right. But does it make sense? I'm not sure. "if it only has a 0th element" isn't in my mind, a relevant question in the context of cardinality, since the answer is the same if it only has the "1th" or "2th" or "3th" element. (Sorry, picked up the habit of "misusing" "th" from another post in this thread.) The base case of indexing is "the start of the list" whereas the base case of cardinality is "empty collection". But should you define the concept of indexing by making an equivalence between cardinality and indexing by "cardinality of collection of elements from the start of a list to the current element (inclusive)" is, in my mind, something that doesn't _necessarily_ make sense.

I admit that it's awfully lot about choices and habits, but at least I find "unpacking" the arguments this way interesting and educational.

What if we assigned a task to someone. They agreed for a timeline of 1 week. Then after a week they forgot and I also forgot?

The problem is that it is quite time and energy-consuming to follow-up with people on the tasks. Any suggestions?
While I go to the gym myself, I pay for a PT and I'm also relatively new in the grand scheme of things to the fitness world.

It's a bit more mathematical then programming but aren't we all just shitty mathematicians anyway:

Little John goes to school for the first day. The teacher wants to assess what do the kids already know so she asks

"Who knows how much is 1+2?".

Little John raises his hand and says

"I don't know how much is 1+2 but I do know that it's the same as 2+1 as addition is commutative over the monoid of natural numbers"
It can be. You can use Pi Zero as the master device and leverage the Pico(s) as real time sensor metric collectors. Zero should be powerful enough to handle Prometheus streaming I guess.
All employees have radically different ideas about how to organise for success, ranging from free market capitalism to the government literally seizing control of this specific company. The skill range is from "needs constant supervision" to "good at a very limited range of activities". Any specific manager has 40 hours a week, which gets eaten up very quickly (10 reports = 4 hrs each to figure out if you like what they are doing assuming no actual work the manager needs to do or surprises that mean they can't work to schedule).

The issue isn't that anyone believes that metric-driven management is a good option, it is that at the scale of 2,000+ people there are not a lot of alternatives. I could easily design a system that works at large scale ... but only by the employees and owners being the same people. Apart from that, the erratic us-them nature of stockholders and employees makes all the good structures untenable.

Lay out an org chart for 2k people then ask how long the manager has to work out what their reports are doing. Expand the hierarchy far enough that everyone has time to do a good job and then ask what the odds are that all the people in positions of importance agree on how things should be done by whom. To settle the number of disputes that arise in a big tree-like org structure there isn't have much of a plan B apart from metrics.

It would be nice to see more governmental support for limited liability cooperative business models. The organisational opportunities that would open up could allow for so much. Not to mention maybe workers could earning more.

It’s cool, the tech behind it all, but I’m in the process of closing my WhatsApp account, so I don’t need a bridge. For some reason my initial reaction was joy that this could be a WhatsApp replacement, somehow. And at the moment, I like keeping my other chat apps in their own app window, for keeping track of what I’m doing In them. I could see myself accidentally responding to the wrong person if everything is in one app. So again, it’s cool what with the tech, and OS, but, as I think about it... am I really going to use it?

The bulk of those indigenous deaths is due to the unwitting introduction of smallpox by the Europeans, which was then spread from one indigenous people to another at a time when Europeans still had little knowledge of the interior of the Americas. Yes, in the wake of this sudden demographic shock Europeans did institute horrible policies of violence and submission (beyond the already bloody initial conquests), but the "tens or hundreds of millions" figure should not be all ascribed to intentional warfare.
And you can still use the full names in scripts (rather than directly in the shell), so you don’t rely on future readers knowing the aliases.

That's not true and true at the same time. There are myriad instances where management by metrics leads companies totally astray, bit it can easily argued that they are badly managed or have a bad strategy.
The core of any kind of measurement effort is a clearly defined objective that sits in balance with other objectives, and the important thing is these objectives are sometimes in conflict with each other, like finance and UX, measuring both gives the company a chance to find the right balance.

What sense is that? I'm not familiar with "distributed" having some protected/special meaning for search engines.
I like the idea of using it from an educational point of view. One of the big problems our coding clubs face, when using a Raspberry Pi, is that they need all the peripherals disconnected from their standard PCs and used with the Pis.

This way Code Clubs and CodeDojos can use existing IT infrastructure to get their kids into doing some electronics projects, at a very low price.

Show HN: Dreambook – Dream journal, interpreter and tracker
Our journey started with talking to people about their dreams. Were they logging their dreams? What was their journey? What they would expect if an app exists for their needs?

This was the perfect time to start a connection between the real-life, and the dream. Both for users, and for us!

They were using notebooks (basically paper and pen) and it was becoming harder and harder to keep track of their dreams. They were waking up in the morning, lots of the time forgetting to write their dreams, and when there was something interesting they dream about, they were trying to find interpretations from the internet. What a mess.

Our first approach was to let them create their dreams very easily. We designed our app for this purpose and also we let our users set a notification reminder close to their wake-up times so that they would not forget to write their dreams. And with our latest feature, we let them interpret their dreams instantly.

We are very closely listening to our customers.

Your valuable comments and ideas would help us to improve Dreambook.

To be continued.

Q: How many programmers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

Minor correction: The talk was made at "RECON" instead of DefCon.
First of all, the joke makes no sense if you put a logistician instead of logician. Second, if you ask one person a question related to the opinions of all others, logically they can't answer yes or no, the only possible answer is "I don't know." Only when you reach the last person you have a chance of giving a definite answer.

Note the first logicians have to answer "I don't know" even if they don't wan't it, otherwise their statement becomes untrue.
"There are more avenues today than I have ever seen in my time doing this job." - Jason Iley, chairman and chief executive of Sony Music UK and Ireland

Like a number of comments made by record industry people about this, that may be factually correct, but it's missing the point. There definitely are more avenues than before. But almost none of them pay any money.

Streaming has removed most small bands' way of making money, by selling CDs directly to their fans. Most of them will just stream it, and won't realise the tiny amount of revenue this generates for the artists. Paying the artists you actually listen to - rather than slicing the cake up into infinitely small slices - needs to be looked at. Most people assume their money goes to who they listen to, not the artists who everyone listens to the most.
