Another interpretation: RSS "died" because it didn't do enough.

RSS (even with WebSub) is unidirectional: you only retrieve content from someone and can't interact with it. That's what indieweb people have been working on piece by piece, but the UX wasn't there until they came up with Social Readers (https://indieweb.org/social_reader) recreating the whole Twitter/Facebook experience, this time with open protocols.

The cool thing is that it's incremental: start with providing RSS and you can already be "followed" in the usual sense. Add some websub and your followers will see you in real-time. When people tell you they've written a comment on their website about your post on your website, automate a way to retrieve content at some url to display the reply under your post (definitely not the easiest to do). Sprinkle some webmentions and people can like, boost and reply to your stuff automatically.

There definitely is a space here for someone to build this on larger scale.
What is an architecture invariant?
I don’t think parent was ever saying that tofu was (nor should) be similar to meat in taste nor texture. That is not the point.

You can still prepare and spice tofu just like you would do with meat, and get a complete meal that replaces meat with something else that adds to the quality of the meal just like meat would, regardless of whether the substitute replicates the texture or taste at all.
Well how is the statistic relevant then? Why did you mention it?
I'm just pointing out that the privacy justification is nonsense. Protecting the integrity of connections? That's important. Preventing web browsers from throwing a fit about "insecure connections"? That's also important. But privacy isn't the issue here, and I've talked to enough people at Netflix to know that they know that too.
Not sure if it's genetic, but if you've read the blub paradox about languages, I think there is something similar about how people think and solve problems. Maybe the higher level abstractions can be learned or maybe not. IQ is a real thing.
It sounds more like the process that's used with carbon fiber - epoxy is poured around the carbon fiber cloth and the end result is something with properties of both.

The article is scant on details so it may still be bunk, but I still think it sounds like an interesting application.
>I think you are completely wrong.

Not completely wrong, You mentioned earlier attemps failing and as a person who opened their mind and wallet, I ate at a vegan restaurant in the 90s and can say it ruined tofu and taro root for me.

Also the livestock industry is not all bad, many industrial livestock operations could be considered "bad" but there are still ethical people that raise animals for food just like I'm sure there are unethical vegans out there...some sell drugs. Some commit crime. Some are rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.

Just the system. 10 years from now people look back at covid and say:

"They had save and effective vaccines in June 2020. Why didn't they immediately distribute and scale the production of those vaccines?"
Almond and Oat “milk” industry would disagree with you. They completely disrupted the milk industry by getting away with being a “milk” even though they are not.

I think if Fake meats aren’t classified as meat they wont get the mind share required to shift people’s habits.
The context is that there's a pandemic going on and the FDA is being a bit slow at approving vaccines. Historical failures of the drug industry like thalidomide explain why the FDA is currently extremely cautious about approving drugs. So you can imagine why some people might get a little worked up when they see a story about thalidomide at this moment in history.
You are just reiterating my point exactly. People like to alter the taste and texture of the food we eat. We do it with our plant based food, and—to a much greater extent—we do it to our meat based food.

Also, salt is a very powerful spice.
I have a research PhD & work at a medical college in the US. While on official correspondence they note my title as Dr., it's not customary for anybody, PhD or MD, to use Dr. otherwise. The names on office doors are just "Jane Doe, MD", etc.
Linux Kernel vs. Memory Fragmentation (Part I)
I guess it depends on how you take his closing comments (which are clearly made elsewhere and edited in, how can we know he's even commenting on the same thing?) .. but taking them at face value:

'We humans are losing faith in ourselves ..' as a response to the desire to replace human creativity with tech, is a poignant comment that we should reflect on as we decide what to automate and what to leave up to humanity.

In a way I wonder if the story of Neelix from Star Trek Voyager would ease Miyazaki's concern for humanity. People eat his 'bad' cooking even though they can replicate perfect dishes, because there's something valuable in (sentient?) creativity.
As somebody who fled Linux to FreeBSD in order to avoid systemd, the prospect of that happening again makes me a little sick to my stomach. Running out of places to go that aren't controlled by people who are openly hostile to POSIX standards.
Reading this book right now. Very interesting/entertaining prose and I like how they contextualize things being discussed into the history of computing. It might not be as dense as some other texts, but it's worth the read if you haven't taken an OS course.
Screens are so cheap, I imagine replacing them every 5 years isn’t that big a deal.

I understand where you're coming from (yes yes there's a theoretically "good" way of doing this, but come on, why can't I just do the simplest thing), but I also sympathize with the spirit of that SO answer (although I agree that its presentation is wanting).

Pandas is really a DSL unto itself and is heavily influenced by R, where the same dynamic happens. Programmers coming from a background where procedural control flow constructs are basically second nature bump up against statisticians for whom array-based programming (in the form of overloaded mathematical notation acting on both scalar and vector values) is second nature.

R and pandas are both very array-oriented programming languages (the most extreme example of this might be early-era APL) and it's really going against the grain to implement things with explicit iteration.

It's kind of like trying to program in Python without using loops or list comprehensions and asking just how to do everything in recursion. You can... but someone is bound to point out that doing everything with recursion (and the concomitant trampolines to prevent stack overflows) is not the Pythonic way.

(Also separately @dang, I feel like I'm running into a very minor bug with time stamps, where when I'm composing this reply I get "9 hours ago" for systemvoltage, but in the main thread I get "3 hours ago")
I think these dumb headlines can just be chocked down to godincidences in numbers. Nothing really to coax out of them.
The second sentence of the tweet: "I left because Google's mistreatment of timnitGebru and RealAbril crossed a personal red line I wrote down when I started the job."
In that case, the news seems pretty positive even with the low numbers, right? It seems that even if the virus evolves we can at least prevent deaths.
No worries, good question :)

For one, conflict merging sounds like it could be a nightmare with that approach. Like imagine you have 10 people working on a doc at the same time, and they each have different versions. Hush Docs takes care of keeping a doc in sync out of the box.

For two, real-time collaboration isn't possible with that approach.

For three, it's end-to-end encrypted if you care about that sorta thing.

Also just a note, comments and change tracking could be implemented pretty easily if there's interest. I spent like a week and a half on this, it's pretty barebones.
I basically avoid American meat for these reasons, and typically source my beef from Australia , Japan or other countries ( which is easier since I live in Taiwan ).

But honestly I’m not 100% sure how much better aussy and Japanese meats are.
If you haven't verified this, you're engaging in uninformed (and potentially harmful) speculation.

These statements are perfectly compatible with one another:

“ most people that attempt programming will never be a good programmer”

“ all people given the same opportunities will be capable of achieving, if not the same, then comparable results on a given task”

Persistence is exceedingly rare. Falling short of your capabilities is exceedingly common.

Can you elaborate? Did it change how you wanted to raise your daughter, or how you interacted with your wife in relation to raising your daughter?
Allowing a problematic vaccine at this point will likely have further reaching consequences than the people who experience side effects. Public doubt over vaccines is high and a bad one getting through will give people legitimate cause for concern going forward. The current anti-vaxxer movement is nothing compared to what will happen if a bad Covid vaccine gets approved.

Make sure you count the number of people who will die from preventable disease due to fear of vaccines over the coming decades. Plus add in the likelihood of another pandemic and the deaths caused by both the additional scrutiny over vaccines for it and the public's reluctance to trust them.

For the vast majority of those ingredients, the answer sure looks like "yes." A few are literally standard home cooking ingredients, and nearly all the rest (dextrose, yeast extract, vitamin mixes, etc.) are pretty common in any processed food, which -- let's be honest here -- a lot of us buy pretty regularly. I'm not sure there's anything there that's unique to the Impossible Burger other than the "soy leghemoglobin".
Paul distributes the book for free http://www.paulgraham.com/onlisp.html (PDF download) so I assume he's not looking for further royalties.
Intellectual ability is more or less normally distributed, but even asking this question about programming is a pretty good signal you're nowhere near the mean of said distribution. I don't know, or really care for that matter, whether or not ability among the subset of the population that chooses to learn to write software is also normally distributed, but even if it is the mediocrities are still exceptional compared to the general public.
Haha is this a direct response to the recent HN thread? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26012593
I agree with you. I know more than one person who would turn up their nose at a 'veggie meat' sandwich, but would happily tuck in to a falafel wrap. Marketing matters!
I see this claim a lot whenever suicide gender imbalance comes up. I think it's really an political idea trying to compensate for the idea that girls who attempt suicide are doing it to seek attention rather than to actually die. Some things to consider:

People who attempt suicide to seek attention are still suffering serious problems and it's not something to judge as "not a real problem".

Men and boys engage in risky activities which aren't classified as suicide attempts but may be exacerbated by wanting to die, such as violence, drug abuse, dangerous driving, even extreme sports.

Men sometimes commit suicide in very deliberate and carefully planned ways that ensure success. That's bound to be more successful than spontaneously running into the bathroom and swallowing every tablet in the medicine cupboard. Sometimes this is because they believe they've failed their social obligations and will never be respected. Eg. cheating on their wife, beating their wife, being unemployed, etc.

If 5% anticipate divorce in that way, it can’t prove your point “no one is anticipating or looking forward to their own divorce”.

I think that was OP's point though. At these numbers, "this is much ado over almost nothing."
This could become big, however, there is still work to do, in order to match something like DeepL[1]

I took [2] and had it translated on both sites, and while the translation was already pretty good (definitely good enough to understand the article), it made some fatal mistakes ("trillion" in English is "Billionen" in German, while "billion" in English is "Milliarden" in German. It got only the latter right. Not something you want for a scientific text...

What amazed me with Deepl.com was this: There is a paragraph

Yuanming Wang, a doctoral candidate in the School of Physics at the University of Sydney, has developed an
ingenious method to help track down the missing matter. She has applied her technique...

In German, there is a word for a female "doctoral candidate": "Doktorandin". LibreTranslate did not apply this language construct, but spoke from a "Doktorand" (male form), but translated the "she" correctly. DeepL, however, got it right. Which is amazing.

Yes and no. All of these are common ingredients in commercial food production. You’ll see these in all sorts of stuff at your local grocery store. Not so common in your kitchen though.

If you're specifically converting eBooks, Calibre comes with command line conversion tools that produce better results than pandoc.
So what you mean is that people don't like the taste and texture of raw meat, and they're only pretending to like it because it's cooked? If you like steak cooked with some salt on it, that doesn't mean that you don't like steak.

I honestly don't get the point you're even trying to make here... because people do less to prepare vegetables they're somehow superior?

Failing to see how this debunks either 'lifetime committment' or 'positive relationship' which are the only logical assertions I made - I did not attempt to qualify how to ascertain 'positive'; financial benefit can also be construed as 'positive'.
As I've noted before, I quit using RSS after too many sites I had followed switched their feeds to teasers/clickbait rather than full text.

I could imagine trying to return to RSS but I expect I would be turned off by the teasers, clickbait, and advertisements.

HN is probably decent on RSS though I wonder how comments are handled, as they are often the most interesting content.

I wonder if a “cycle” is actually a full drive write. If it is, then they have ~11GB/day, which is nuts, at least in the pre-dashcam models. But I can easily imagine that a cheap eMMC part has poor wear leveling and eats a “cycle” after much less than 8GB.

Long form publishing isn't dead yet!
I agree with you that information (IMO both coverage and level of detail) should be balanced, for the target audience. However, I think that it does not apply to "why" information exclusively. Rather, this is pretty much a universal approach / best practice and, thus, should be applied across all categories of content.
People, before you downvote, check out the username.

But yeah, you’re right. You could glean a lot of information from nothing but a collection of movies’ exact runtimes, as visible from the network stream. Although that wouldn’t tell you much about a single movie, given enough viewings you could make pretty good guesses about which movies someone is watching.
"Lecturer" in the UK is roughly equivalent to "Assistant Professor" in the US. Lecturer -> Senior Lecturer -> Reader -> Professor. In the US, it's Assistant Prof. -> Associate Prof. -> Prof. The rank of "Professor" is roughly equivalent in both countries.
Wouldn’t have to be systemd, macOS has launchd for init, FreeBSD could come up with its own thing. This is a good talk I saw recently (by a FreeBSD contributor) on why these sorts of systems have become more common, and why they seem so sweeping in scope. https://youtu.be/o_AIw9bGogo

(In fact systemd and launchd are so tailored to their respective operating systems that FreeBSD likely would have to do their own init replacement if they cared to.)
Thanks - I specifically worded this as generically as possible precisely to avoid getting into 'fairy tale' definitions, but yet, people are happy to reverse-project their own values onto a neutral statement to attack the some strawman in their heads.

The Bible doesn't self-classify as fiction.
hence the second statment:

I drive a 2000 Jeep Wrangler. My dad has a 1997 Wrangler, and his “farm” truck is a 2002 F350 if memory serves.

A quick look at eBay shows a nearly identical F350 listed at $21,500, with >190k miles, so clearly someone sees value in vehicles of that vintage.
Haven't we had that since a certain engineer divulged the formula to us in 1986?
One advantage of glass in windows is that, when broken, it will make for a noisy mess. I'd say this partly discourages break-ins to vehicles and homes.

If windows were made of something that could be splintered and more quietly pulled apart, I'm not sure it be as useful for the typical glass windows and doors we know.

Some relationships absolutely cause less destruction by ending. Some provide sufficiently despite great flaws.
It seems like the author addresses that in the contents of the book. In the first chapter, they say that there is no way to close every gap of knowledge, and the only difference between a good and mediocre programmer is contentment.
Yeast extract is Marmite! And dextrose is a derivative of corn syrup. And enriched flour is characterized by having vitamins added to it. So they’re not that uncommon either.

I hit the paywall so couldn't read the whole thing but the last visible sentence about deeper quarrels about how to raise a teenage son vs daughter make sense.

One easiest stressor I can imagine is teenage pregnancy, or the threat thereof. If my son is going to be a rebellious teenage idiot, that's hard. If my daughter, then so much more stressful. Both because the consequences (pregnancy) are harsher and because there are way more people preying on women.

It's probably much harder on the marriage to have this kind of stress.

I think this reporter is missing the point of the privacy labels. Of course Apple is unable to verify every app. I doubt that was ever the intent. Instead this moves the responsibility to the app developer. It opens up the app developer for legal action if they do not tell the truth. And it gives Apple a clear set of rules that they can use to boot misbehaving app developers from the store if they don’t correct their privacy labels.

This is just the beginning of a long process to turn the massive data collection industry on mobile around.
The mediocre caveman:

Raw meat is tasty, chewing it with my 3 remaining teeth is great.

I do not need innovation. I can happily live to my 30s... if I am lucky, and do not get killed by a wild animal or a member of my tribe. By the way, what is a justice system? sounds very complex, I do not care about it. I will fix all my grievances through violence.

Oh, by the way, some guys showed up mounting horses and using metal weapons and enslaved us. Perhaps I should have spent more time trying to innovate.

This is exactly what the mediocre programmers and mediocre organizations sound like. People about to get rekt by people that develop an understanding of their world and their craft and innovate.
Yeah, it is great to aim at the top but at some point you have to be happy with what you have achieved instead of constantly feeling bad for not achieving more. Getting to the level where you can be considered a mediocre programmer is a huge achievement and hundreds of millions of people in the world would love to be in your shoes.
