The idea of "women have it tougher than men" is naive and toxic. You can try to justify it by saying that your ideas are "based on lots of reading of stuff", but it's obvious you are only interested in how this topic relates to your own ego.

Women go through it in birth, I have never met a person who didn't acknowledge that birth is an absolutely painful and sometimes devastating process that is unique to women. Women die giving birth too. Should men feel ashamed for that? Maybe we should pass a law that makes it illegal to get a woman pregnant... After all she might die and if that happens then the evil man who impregnated her should be punished, right?

Oh wait, nobody understands that only women get pregnant, so I guess that's the first hurdle here. HEY EVERYBODY, ONLY WOMEN CAN GET PREGNANT! Maybe that should be the next study: "Human beings with two X chromosomes are 100% more likely to get pregnant than those with XY chromosomes".
Glad to hear you appreciated that. I figured HN users would.

> before we can become better programmers we have to pass through being mediocre programmers

Sure it's true, but it leaves out a fundamental truth about programming (and technically complex disciplines in general): most people that attempt programming will never be a good programmer - indeed most never even cross through the gate of mediocrity.

There seems to me to be a superegalitarian notion that all people given the same opportunities will be capable of achieving, if not the same, then comparable results on a given task (or set of tasks of a given type).

That simply is not true - "fake it 'till you make it" is not universal.
Good suggestion. Averaged out your suggestion, trying $250.

But by making wood transparent, would it not be even more detrimental to the environment? Plus at least glass is made of silica which we have no real shortage of and it can be recycled as well.
> if you work through the refusal to clean their room

Well, is it their room or not? If it’s their room, viz. their inviolable space, what basis[1] do you have to enforce your standards on others’ spaces? Unless it’s an actual hygiene/H&S/hoarding situation, or part of the de-jure shared living space (like a Jack+Jill bathroom) then a messy room isn’t a real problem, and raising a fuss about it is only going to create conflict.

[1]: “my house, my rules” is not a convincing argument: your kids have no choice w.r.t. where they live.

> The Mediocre Programmer is a book about the journey of becoming a better programmer. But before we can become better programmers we have to pass through being mediocre programmers. Mediocre doesn't mean a bad programmer --- far from it. It means lacking skill

Great idea.. We're all mediocre programmers at some aspect of development even after spending a decade in the industry. And conversely many still suffer imposter's syndrome. Seems like a great topic to address.

Because the current mining process can be verified automatically, and also is the trick to ensure the blockchain is not altered.

If you mine sequestering CO2, you must make an official committee that goes to each mining facility and verify that they are not laying. So you don't have decentralization, and it's easier to just have the transactions in a database instead of a blockchain.

Eh, my mother's conduct wasn't totally insane - I'd be a little displeased if my son not only selected a branch that prided itself on combat exposure (right as bombs started falling on Baghdad), but he also intentionally chose the one component of the Corps that guaranteed he'd be getting shot at for months on end. I wouldn't have taken it so personally, but I'd still be pretty irritated.

The role of a parent is to help children grow into healthy functioning adults. Avoiding unnecessary conflict is something we should all strive for, avoiding all conflict is tantamount to simply not parenting.

Frankly this entire argument feels like an intentional twisting of the common expression "their room."

Technically, it's not d1 (just like how futures aren't actually d1). And seeing that annualized % basis in swaps is so high (sometimes as high as 600%), you really need a good rate model to trade these things.

The retail crowd doesn't realize this and is significantly disadvantaged compared to sophisticated market makers with rate models.

I'm not sure I understand why someone in their IDE would be lost, you can't read README.md and see the file structure in your IDE?

Documentation in the source is different from a directory organization documentation IMO. Rust has a lot of tools to write good documentation in source, and it is here to help produce good documentation for users of a library, not to explain how to contribute to the code or understand how everything is architected.

Eh, mediocre is usually defined as something like "middling" or "middle-of-the-road" or "average". It's plausible to me that most reasonably intelligent people who try very hard can become "above average" programmers. "Good", I don't know.

Interesting. I wonder why he was fired.
On another hand, many commercial programming tasks or programming roles are relatively mundane or lower-skill, and do not require exceptional levels of programming ability. If an exceptional programmer was dropped into one of these roles, they might quit out of boredom, or try to refashion the role into building tooling or systems to automate away some or all of the drudgery, but perhaps at the cost of not delivering enough immediate business value to justify their employment, or spending 100 hours building a beautifully elegant solution for a class of problem of which there will only ever be a single instance, which can be solved with 1 hour of bad scripting & manual data tweaking in a spreadsheet. Mediocre work performed in situations demanding mediocrity can be sufficient while producing economic value & providing for one's income.
It was odd, seemed to me like they fired that 1 person for doing exactly what they had hired her to do =s

In total, Thalidomide caused around 2,000 deaths and 10,000 birth defects. Compare that to the 100,000 people that the FDA killed by not approving a single beta blocker sooner. The FDA waited until 1981 to let doctors prescribe Timolol to prevent heart attacks. Stunningly, the FDA bragged that approving Timolol would save up to 17,000 lives a year.[1] That same drug had been in use in Europe since the mid-70s, meaning that the FDA tacitly admitted to killing 100,000 people by forbidding its use in the US. Even the original beta blocker (propranolol) wasn't allowed to be used for angina or hypertension until 1978, 13 years after it had been approved in Europe. That delay likely killed more than 100,000 people.

The FDA is also the reason why epi-pens are so expensive[2], why Martin Shkreli was able to jack up the price of Daraprim[3], why many drugs suffer from shortages[4], and why home testing for covid was delayed for so long[5]. And don't forget that covid community spread was discovered in February of 2020 only because researchers risked jail time by violating the FDA's prohibition on testing.[6]

Yes, the FDA lets leaders avoid an occasional political snafu. But the organization kills far more people than it saves.

The funny thing is that another definition of mediocre is 'low quality'. And it seems plausible to me that even expert programmers can write low quality programs.
I think the metaphor there is similar. The church did not historically take kindly to individuals publishing "their version" of holy texts without sanction of the church.
Reading that now is different from how I remember it. At the time I thought he was saying that there were so few cases in most of the country that it didn't make sense for everyone to be wearing masks yet. It seemed inevitable to me that we'd all be wearing masks in a few months given how things turned out with SARS. But if your quote is accurate then it seems I was applying my own bias to what was being said.
I feel like if you're reading this book, there are good chances you're already better than most and that you're a good programmer or on path to become one. The difference between mediocre and good is often that you're seeking to improve.
I just read the GitHub repo mentioned in the article and it looks like gibberish to me.

I gotta ask, What do you consider good?

There's plenty of working software that's good enough. Made by fair programmers who don't care about lisp or FP.

Is your scale of good affected by what you see here on HN? Because I feel like the front page of this site has the same effect as Facebook for skewing views of reality.
A car accident will dramatically shorten the life of a car. Depreciation will determine the average lifespan of most cars. That is approximately 12-16 years
On the other hand, there are costs with delaying approval. This is pretty obvious with the Covid vaccines, probably at least 200,000 on the dead side of the ledger.

Another cost that's harder to quantify is the cost in lives and misery of drugs never developed because it's for an uncommon and there's no way to make back the money needed to pay for FDA approval.
Surprising that F# doesn't have a "chunkBy" function for sequences; it makes the solution in Elixir vastly more readable than the version in the article:

I don't know. Does anyone know? Accurate stats are hard to come by, as this is of course underreported by the victims. We do know the number is greater than 0.0% though.

The Conversation article has a link to the original paper https://melbourneinstitute.unimelb.edu.au/__data/assets/pdf_... which does not even mention this possibility at all as a factor. I find this to be a curious omission.

Non-sexual physical abuse could also be a factor. The teenage years are when boys and girls start to "grow apart" in terms of height and strength, which makes teenage girls on average less able to defend against physical abuse than teenage boys. Also, our society is "more accepting" of violence against males than violence against females. Is this a factor in the divorce rate? I don't know, but the possibility should not be ignored.
Sure, but I don't think we're working with a single peak distribution here - and good luck coming up with a workable definition for "reasonably intelligent".
I took it to mean their bedroom specifically, assuming they have a bedroom to themselves.

I’m fine with having family “team cleans”: it’s a positive shared experience, and I can’t protest instilling discipline for tidiness either - I just draw the line at “tidy your room” as overstepping a crucial boundary that arbitrarily encroaches on our autonomy.

By analogy, it’s like if my parents forced me to use a particular desktop wallpaper image on my computer, or restricting what I wore on weekends without a better reasoned argument than “because I said so”.
Nice sentiment, but I'd liken it so a 26.2 mile sprint.

How’s that missing turn signal stalk supposed to work when you’re supposed to signal turn well in advance of actually turning?

Let's be very clear. Covid is currently killing more Americans every three days than the total number of global birth defects attributed to Thalidomide over its entire life.

The FDA refuses to approve AstraZeneca, despite the fact that it's approved in the UK, and doing so would prevent hundreds of thousands of American Covid deaths. The only answer the naysayers can give is to sputter and point at Thalidomide.

So, I want all of us to be crystal clear. If they're wrong about AstraZeneca, then the type II errors of the FDA will cancel out the Thalidomide type I errors by three orders of magnitude. And hereby, no intellectual honest person should ever bring up Thalidomide again, unless explicitly qualifying the much large type II failure of not approving AstraZeneca.

If you believe that AstraZeneca is the next Thalidomide, I want you to bet money on it. If you're willing to bet other people's lives, then you should be willing to bet your own money. I will accept any bet, up to $10,000, that the number of deaths attributable to AstraZeneca over the next two years will not exceed ten thousand deaths globally. (Far less than the number of Americans immediate approval would save).

If you're not willing to bet money than AstraZeneca is the next Thalidomide, then stop insisting that the FDA let hundreds of thousands die by implicitly treating it that way.

I'm not sure I agree with the idea what we primarily like stories that take place in familiar (moral) universes. For a lot of pop-fiction that's surely true but generally works we think of as being of merit challenge the reader.

A lot of Borges stories come to mind. Stanislaw Lem's work like Solaris, on moral issues surely Nabokov's Lolita or Ada or Ardor. The Master and Margarita in the Soviet Union, Le Guin's the Left Hand of Darkness with takes on sexuality way ahead of their time and so on. If I go through my list of favourite books there's a lot of those.

That's certainly an interpretation of that study. Here's another one.

> Almost half of parents (45.2%) claim that their pediatrician was unable to provide sufficient information and adequate indications regarding unconventional weaning and 77.4% of parents reported the pediatrician’s resistance towards alternative weaning methods.

> Our results show that alternative weaning methods are followed by a significant number of families; in half of the cases, the family pediatrician was not perceived as an appropriate guide in this delicate process.

In other words, nearly half of parents who try vegetarian weaning report that their pediatricians stop helping them or are unable to give them adequate/informed nutritional advice, and unsurprisingly, parents who no longer have adequate access to health resources and information struggle to raise healthy kids.

This isn't an argument against vegetarian weaning, it's an argument for educating pediatricians so they're not shrugging their shoulders when people ask them how to keep their kids healthy.

----

It's also really important here to distinguish between vegan and vegetarian weaning. You're lumping them together when the paper doesn't. Its take is:

> Vegetarian weaning with appropriate guidance from family pediatricians or nutritional experts is possible and it should not be opposed.

> Vegan weaning should be discouraged because serious damages (slow growth, rickets, irreversible cognitive deficits, cerebral atrophy, and also death) have been demonstrated.

This is something that kind of annoys me when it comes up in these conversations. The health risks of veganism and vegetarianism are very different. Being vegan requires paying attention to your food intake, it requires doing some research, because the United States food system is not built around that concept. The risks aren't common knowledge and fewer foods are fortified to deal with problems that vegans face. But being vegetarian is comparatively much, much easier to do, and you're much less likely to make a mistake and end up with a deficiency if you go down that route. They really shouldn't be talked about as if they have the same levels of risk.
Come on Drew, you know as well as I do that media can be unmasked via side channels if an attacker really cares.
As awful as it may be, that doesn't sound so far-fetched to me.

1/4 woman and 1/7 men have been "victims of severe physical violence [...] by an intimate partner in their lifetime." That's 25% for women! Very different statistic, but it does provide perspective. Is GP's 0.6% so implausible?

For the large-scale tonnage using bioscience to create protein is incredibly capital, energy and water-intensive.

If you could do it anaerobically, that would help on the energy front, but there's big limit on volumetric efficiency (cell density/tankturn) of anaerobic.

It's not an antenna like I thought at first. It's a tuner with 4 MHz instantaneous bandwidth and a very wide tuning range, https://arxiv.org/abs/2009.14383 - the actual (laser intensity) measurements are done within the RF electrical field above a coplanar waveguide track on a PCB.

It's a cool RF tuner. But it still need a real, full size, antenna. It's also not clear to me if they can get the phase informations out of the laser intensity measurements. I suppose it's all a matter of how fast they can sample the light.
