I used to feel the same way when working on solo projects, eschewing tests, build automation, and even source control.

It wasn't tool long before source control was missed - at it's simplest, it acts like a backup, but having the full history is really useful. Once familiar with SVN (this was 15 or so years ago), it really didn't add any overhead at all.

I thought tests would he too much work to maintain - but looking back, it was clear that it was my lack of experience and understanding that was the problem. The way I was writing tests, laden heavy with mocks, and brittle as a result, was resulting in crap tests. Much later, when I'd finished making terrible mistakes, but had learned a lot from the process, I realised how helpful tests were. I believe they are usually a net benefit - the number of times where I write a test for something that seems really simple, and it fails, is higher than I'd like to admit. Failing fast during dev is far prefer to having to diagnose production issues. And it also means I can refactor with much more confidence. Also, for OSS projects, I think the presence of a good test suite inspires confidence in users.

When working solo, the time taken for manual tasks also irked me - especially when preparing final releases, where I was anxious not to get things wrong - building for different platforms, creating installers, putting together configs, putting together docs, code signing, running things through Virus Total, publishing binaries... it took soooo long, and was error prone. In the beginning, automating this kind of stuff seemed like a mountain, but again with experience came competence and confidence. And the time savings were great, and the extra confidence around releases was huge.

Each to their own of course, but for anything non-trivial I wouldn't be without source control, tests or build automation.
>but I find Google's end of life policy for Chromebooks baffling.

Brought to you by the smartphone ecosystem. Smartphones are the most successful computers ever, but could a computer manufacturer pull off arbitrary update schedule, locked boot-loader and among other nonsense a decade ago? Now this has seeped into personal computers.

>this means that there is no way for a six-year-old Chromebook to safely browse the web. How is this justifiable, in terms of security?

Neither does in iOS, especially in iOS since all browsers are Safari WebViews and So once OS updates stop it becomes dangerous to even browse the web. 7 year old android can receive latest Firefox, but it's highly likely it never received a single OS upgrade in its lifetime.

How in the world would eating less carbs lead to an increase in blood sugar? You must have something backwards. Eating more protein and fat instead of carbs should certainly lead to a decrease in blood sugar.
unfortunately HN, reddit, etc fill those pleasure centers of the brain that also are rewarded by doing work. Or as my grandmother reflected on her first husband, who she divorced upon realizing he was a schlub:

Close, but still not the data we need. What schools are looking at it family income of the students which means the 25-34 range isn't going to cut it. No need to do further research as I agree with your premise, but I think the number of students who receive minimal aid and family help might be higher than you expect.

>When did democrafts, the party I vote for, become the people calling for tight censorship in every sector?

When Trump got elected and it broke people's brains. At that point, everything became permissible in order to fight Trump. Now that Trump is gone, you can't put the genie back in the bottle.

Since Trump, the Democratic establishment has effectively captured Mainstream Media, Big Tech and Social Media (with Academia being already firmly in the Democratic tent). Mainstream media and Big Tech isn't even pretending to be objective anymore. There is now an incestuous pipeline between executive leadership in those institutions and the Democratic establishment. And I say 'establishment' because it isn't just the Conservatives, Republicans and Libertarians that are getting censored. I don't like the anti-war, anti-American, class-focused Left, but those groups also get targeted, as are Progressives that focus on class (as opposed to cultural) issues.

>Weren't the last people to make this move (more more ineffectively, thankfully) the Christian right?

Apt analogy. This is the 'Christian Evangelical Right' from the 90s, with similar level of puritanism ... and with the backing of media companies and big tech. So much much worse.
I once saw another example coin like this where the "useful PoW" was finding chains of prime numbers or something. However, PoW solutions were not dependent on the current blockchain sate, which rendered it insecure as someone could just stockpile solutions and then hijack the blockchain. Is it the case here too?

The closest I've seen to a useful PoW coin is one which relied in intel SGX to prove that the work done was useful and honest, but of course the central root of trust is really Intel's SGX in that case.

In general, Magnax seems to be focusing on automotive, which changes the driving factors in the design significantly (partial load efficiency becomes very important, cost is #1, etc).

In the aircraft world, Magnix has been doing some really awesome work. Their motors + inverters are about 4 kW/kg continuous. Our multiple areas of technology development should put us >12 kW/kg, which would be a 3x improvement. We are excited to build and iterate on a rapid pace to get there as soon as possible (hardware is, of course, hard :)

The intermittency of renewables was not what happened to Texas. Texas made a conscious choice to build their own isolated grid. Then they failed to invest in winterization of their grid sufficiently. The rolling blackouts were caused by gas turbine plants going offline, though the intermittency of solar and wind in Texas didn't help.
Counter-example:

Sounds are pressure waves that transmit through the air.

Given enough pressure, those waves could even kill someone (bomb).

If we say that there should be no legal limit to sound pressure, then making a bomb explode and killing people should have no legal consequences.

This makes no sense, so we should put a threshold of maximum allowed sound pressure. The discussion now is where is that threshold.

> Does fruit contain as much fructose today as it did 50, 100, 200 years ago?

Maybe due to selection of larger, sweeter fruit, yes. But processed food contains various sugar variants, including fructose (think "high fructose corn syrup") so fruit isn't the only (not even the main) source of fructose for many.
What's even worse is when people are evil and nobody fights against them while they overthrow your government and commit genocide.
> JavaScript objects are ordered maps (as are PHP’s arrays, iirc): it’s not common, but relying on this is specified behavior in JavaScript: it would be a little surprising for JSON object literals to follow a different rule.

JSON object literals expressly follow a different rule (are expliclty unordered) per the IETF specs and have no specific significance to order at the JSON level though some might conceivably be introduced in ancillary specifications or tooling per the bigECMA spec.

JSON is syntactically a subset of JS but not semantically identical. Unambiguous order would require an array of one-entry objects in JSON.

I spoke briefly with Vijay Pande about this in 2011. Folding does have a lot of the right properties for a good proof-of-work system, the main exception being that the solution must be unique to the input. It may be possible to achieve this by embedding information into sets of constraints, as long as any particular set of constraints can be shown to be isoenergetic. Or perhaps by expanding the problem by adding more atoms in a way that embeds information about the inputs. Also, the solutions would be quite large. But I think he was more interested with my experience writing molecular dynamics code than blockchain, and rescinded the RA offer after this conversation, so I haven’t thought about it much since then.

Reconsidering (briefly) now, I think it can be done.

That's kinda nice, maybe someday I'll try FF again.

Unfortunately, every time I try, the usability and flows are - for me - lacking. Like, not being able to easily add and edit search engines (adding search for amazon, youtube, etc), history and bookmarks not opening in full tab by default, closed tabs and windows being separated on history...

I'm sure that every country have tiny villages with cheap land. Buy enough land, build a house in the center, grow some trees around and you'll have peaceful house.

Of course there are other issues with that lifestyle which is why it's not adopted widely, like no work, issues for children, issues with healthcare, but for some people it could work, IMO.
> Identifying which ML models _actually running in production_ cause systemic discrimination (e.g. as you mentioned poor image recognition, bail predictions, etc.) is exactly focusing on real issues that... cause systemic discrimination.

There's nothing systemic about these issues. I already mentioned it's a data problem. Nothing new. It's very easy to build a fair image recognition system by representing all demographics. And even then AI systems will continue to make mistakes. Some AI ethics researchers cherry pick on those mistakes to justify their entire research.

Well, by definition "unordered" means you can't count on any particular order. So while parsers may indeed preserve order, anything that relies on it is in violation of the standard.

That said, I agree that being aware of this is important if you're emitting JSON. You'd think nobody would ever address a JSON object by its ordinal position, but programmers are lazy and worse, think they're clever. :)
It's pretty well known honey has an extremely long shelf life due to anti-bacterial substances not found in other sources of sugar.
It's going to break all 3rd party social layer providers. Most news sites don't have native comments and rely on a 3rd party like a Disqus. Login in state is stored as a cookie. It also going to break all the openID stuff that is heavily used in organizations like Walmart. OpenID is all based around cookies. I remember having to rebuild our provider when Safari released an update that you can't set 3rd party cookies without user interaction.

Hey everyone!
The iOS app for AddToTheList is now available!

This will bring the functionality right to your phone and makes it a lot easier and more useful to use.

- Keep track of what all Movies and TV Shows that you watch.

- See where to watch any title.

- You can rate and write reviews for titles as well as view IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes ratings.

- Find out what to watch based on what your friends are watching.

- Share what you love with other users by creating lists.

- Add movies and shows to your lists to get notified when they come to your favorite streaming services and when new seasons/episodes come out.

- Add your friends to easily chat with and recommend titles to each other.

We also wanted to highlight a few new features we've added recently:

1. Where to Watch feature - You can now see where to watch any title. You can check by region as well.

2. Chat feature - You can chat with your friends via the site/app. It's a great way to discuss movies/shows and share titles/lists/reviews.

3. Invite your friends - Invite friends via your Profile view. This will generate a referral link so that when your friend signs up via that link, you'll automatically be friends in AddToTheList.

With all of the content coming out on all of these streaming services (and changing from one service to another), it’s been useful to have this AddToTheList app to keep track of what to actually watch and where to watch it. Hope people like it and find it useful!

Yeah, it has little to do with the current situation in Texas, either. While it was a nasty week, there were always public buildings (including event centers, schools, hospitals, etc.) which still had power. The blackout came for anyone who was not on a grid with such a high-priority building. So there was never a time when hauling a train engine to town hall would have made sense, in Texas last week. Still an interesting story, though, if one subtracts the last paragraph.

I've thought about how one would design and market soundproofed apartments and houses. You'd need to condense full-spectrum measurements of ambient levels, indoor transmission, and outdoor transmission into just one or a few numbers or letter grades, and convince other apartment buildings and homebuilders to let you run measuring microphones and speakers for a week.

Are there any standards for soundproofed construction like there are for energy-minimized construction?

The main thing I don't like about FF is that the UI is kind of blocky and clunky looking compared to Safari or Chrome. (This is on macOS.)

A trivial example of missing UI polish - when you open "About Firefox" after restarting the browser, the window always appears in the top left for a split second, then moves to the center.

Scary stuff, I feel like I'm slowly watching as the U.S turns into a one party state, and enforced by the government itself.

We argue about how it's okay for private companies to censor whatever they feel like, but what if it's the government pressuring them to do so? They themselves in this letter mention that 50% of Americans get their news from TV, and many American's have one choice of Cable provider, and even if they have 2 or 3, that's just 2 or 3 companies you have to pressure into delisting news sources of your choosing to make them essentially unreachable for the vast majority of the population.

The next step I feel is obviously blocking websites, again Americans only have 1 or 2 options of internet providers, and in this case they'd already have pressured them into censoring cable, so why not ask the same companies to censor the internet?

Steps like this just make me think that one side clearly doesn't plan on ever being able to lose an election again, and with actions available such as adding new states, adding 12-20 million new voters (illegal immigrants), I can see why they feel that way. Any authoritarian steps taken in democracy are usually balanced by the fact the other side could do the same when in power. If you simply never lose power, that's not an issue.

> There is an important prospective silver lining in this situation, which is that the tech giants, by trying to use their dominance in a historical moment to enforce political orthodoxy, are inevitably hastening the decline of that dominance.

I see it this way too. Once the trust is lost, it is virtually impossible to regain.

It may be impossible or inconvenient for many to switch away from an untrustworthy platform right away, but once they lose trust, they become open to a more to a better alternative, which is bound to come along sooner or later.

If you ask any Christian (or Jewish) scholars whether the Bibles (Old Testament) includes many prophesies that had already come to pass, the answer is probably yes. But if you ask them whether Muhammad (alias Ahmad) name who has one of the largest followers in the world today is ever mentioned in the Bible, they probably said nothing or none or zilch.

But in the chapter of Song of Solomon (5:16) someone has incorrectly translated an official name of Muhammad (alias Ahmad) from Hebrew into English with "Altogether Lovely". If you ever translated anything in your life you know that it is wrong and it is not allowable to translate a name, because a name is a name.

The irony is that this is one of the Bibles' (Old Testament's) prophesies that had come to pass that any Christian (or Jewish) scholars will not dare to admit or celebrate.

Fun facts, there is an entire chapter in the Quran that was named after Mary, and Quran praised her (a Jewish woman not an Arab) as the best of women in the entire history of mankind. Quran also relieved her from the Jews accusation of her adultery and confirmed the miracle of the virgin birth of Jesus as claimed by the Christian.
