Well then you have to label everything as fiction rather than science because if you don't single out the simplest theory you can't say that general relativity is science and general relativity plus sun turns into cake tomorrow isn't science.
And if someone tells you the sun will turn into cake tomorrow and claims that your theory where the sun doesn't turn into a cake tomorrow is fiction and unscientific cause it doesn't make predictions to distinguish it from their theory, you don't have any principled philosophical ground to disagree whith them .

And that's not so clearly bad there because they are obiously wrong, but then you get to complicated topics where everyone has hard to resolve disagreements about which theory should be the default from a big pool of theories that seem to agree whith the evidence.

Most addiction specialists now subscribe to a definition of addiction that's something like, "repeated use in the face of adverse consequences" and I'd just say that in my life practically everyone I know who drinks has experienced adverse consequences from alcohol. These are frequently laughed off as rights of passage or minor embarrassments, but they include stuff like missing work with a hangover, driving when they shouldn't have, saying cruel things they wish they wouldn't have, getting in fights (physical or otherwise) they otherwise wouldn't have, behaving more aggressively than they normally would, behaving embarrassingly in public, skipping social events because they'd drank too much or were hungover, and on and on.

Again, even the people in my life who think of themselves as moderate drinkers without even the hint of a problem would have to acknowledge multiple incidents that fit the above criteria, if they were honest.

Because we live in a culture that tolerates alcohol we view a lot of this behavior as insignificant in a way that you wouldn't if somebody at a party were exhibiting signs of, say, cocaine intoxication. "Bob didn't come to work today because he used too much cocaine" sounds like a serious problem, but "Bob didn't come to work today because he's hungover" may elicit knowing laughs from the co-workers who were with him at the bar the night before.

Most people won't become fall-down drunks who lose their jobs and their spouses and everything else, but that's a pretty weak standard for harm.
B-trees have little to do with it, if the table has many columns its cheaper to scan the index for the value because it occupies less pages, thats all, less I/O more cache hits etc, goes from top to bottom on the index scanning for the result. This is the distinction between scan and seek.

I just ran a common one I see and yep MS SQL is still doing a index scan then key lookup to get result with a select * from table where col LIKE '%abc' type query.

I think alcohol and tobacco use are primarily symptoms, not causes, of problems. They, along with depression, anxiety, ADHD, and other addictions, are strongly correlated with ACE (adverse childhood experience) score. As smoking has become taboo, other stimulants became more popular (adult ADD). I'd expect something similar if we restricted alcohol without solving the problems that lead to dependency.
This is why I think a lot of pre-collegiate curricula is misguided. The ultimate goal of a high school science or math course should be to teach logic and critical thinking ("learning how to learn"). If a student doesn't have the ability to understand why a formula works, we should take a hard look at why we're teaching it, even if that means radically rethinking which subjects are offered.

Yes, you have a market where participants trade against each other, and you discover that the average participant in the market does not "beat the market". That should be obvious. The question in dispute is whether _anyone_ can beat the market, and there's a mountain of evidence that certain people/funds beat the market year after year.

It is hardly clear that low amounts of alcohol (on the order of 1 drink/day) are deleterious. The body has a true ability for homeostasis, and almost anything in excess will lead to problems. Alcohol's threshold for excess is regrettably low, for sure, but I think it's nonzero.

Well, particularly in the current situation where masks somehow became a political hill to die on, I think you are underselling the matter some.

It's a bit difficult to feel all that neighborly or friendly with people adamant that they won't even wear a mask to help protect your own health.

And all the topics listed - religion, political affiliation, guns - are all infamous for causing strife. Even the most tolerant person can easily wish to simply minimize the chances of a conflict. Tensions over these matters also only seem to be intensifying, which further exacerbates the matter.

I have used Chrome for years with uBlock and I have not once since a single ad go through during launch. So realistically this "window" is most likely negligible, which make sense given how efficient and fast uBlock is. Maybe if you're running on a potato.

On the other hand, I don't want random extensions, which could be misbehaving or poorly coded, to be able to indefinitely delay the browser's launch, even if it comes at the cost of one ad making it through. Imagine having dozens of extensions and trying to figure out which one is slowing down your launch because there's a bug.

Demystifying Time Complexity and Big O Notation
I don't disagree.

Math is the real challenge though. When I was in business school I tutored a group of students who were... struggling. They simply lacked the ability to handle things like basic graphs in economics, solving equations, never mind the most simple differentiation to find a maxima/minima. It was a frustrating experience. I couldn't make up for a general lack of even high school math.

And read any number of books out there on first year bschool experiences and you'll find similar.

There are absolutely successful people who are in that category. But Math is a major roadblock for many people.

> 2020, Renaissance funds' performance ...

Since this is in reply to me, let me ask, what's the implication here? The tone of your post sounds like you disagree with me, but it's not clear what exactly you disagree with? Grandparent claimed that no-one can beat the market. I said that Renaissance Medallion Fund beats the market. Then you post a single-year performance of +76%, which is a really good performance for 2020. So... you agree with me?
One of the things that frustrates me with many of these "X causes Y number of <consequence>" types of arguments is that they rarely provide for any sort of control on the negative case.

To your point, what would the numbers look like without alcohol?

Perhaps there is a decrease in birth rate as people make more judicious choices?

Perhaps people move to other, less healthy intoxicants?

Perhaps suicide rate increases because people are less able to blow off steam and occasionally get stupid?

Who knows?

What we do know is that humans are genetically adapted to consuming ethanol, have been doing it for thousands of years [1], and seem to have a pretty fun time doing it.

Maybe the title should end with "In the UK". For example, in Japan there is not much alcohol derived violence as in the UK. In the mediterrenian countries there is not so much binge drinking like in the UK. In Australia there are much stricter rules on where you can buy and consume alcohol than in the UK and still their drink patterns are more simliar to the UK than to mediterrenian countries. In Jewish Orthodox communities Alcohol is used almost solely for religious ceremonies and not too many people drink at all, although it is allowed. So each culture have different relationship with alcohol, both in terms of conumption and the effect on society, and this needs to be acknowledged.
most of the people i have seen who critique alcohol and alcoholic culture are very enthusiastic about other drugs they consider safer, healthier, and better. i wouldn't call this puritanism. the author reviewed in this article in fact caused quite a controversy advocating for cannabis, mdma, and lsd while employed by the uk government.
iOS is the same. My husband has an iPhone and I frequently find he doesn't receive WhatsApps notifications in good time. So for urgent messages I now SMS him.

> So now that we have automatic trains with automated gates, they could have different kinds of trains for rush hour.

I don't quite see what automation has to do with this, though?

Granted, with fully automated operation it's a little easier to shuffle trains around without having to worry about how that impacts the rosters of the humans operating the trains, but the main problem here is that it'd be extremely inefficient to keep a completely duplicate set of trains (and more) around just for rush hour.

At most, you could try building the extra trains that only run doing peak hours to a separate design, but that still makes maintenance more complicated and means that only a relatively small fraction of trains (I don't have numbers for Paris at hand, but on the Underground in London it'd be e.g. 20 - 25 % at most) will actually be of the "super high" capacity design.

So in my opinion the only really sensible thing if you want to go down that path would be to do what I've seen with some Japanese lines, namely use foldable longitudinal seating that can be remotely locked in the upright position and then unlocked again after the peak.

As for

> and the train doors could open upwards. So instead of the people having to squish through small openings, they could get on and off through practically the whole length of the train

MySQL 8.0 actually added support for functional indexes, but I found out the hard way that they don't work the same way as indexing generated columns. For me the biggest issue were the caveats around using the indexed column in conditions, which resulted in the index not being used in surprising situations. Anyways, I had to revert to generated columns which was a shame because it was a feature I had looked forward to using.

A lot of them these days are photoelectric. They have a “light sealed” chamber (basically vented in such a way that ambient light doesn’t have a path into the chamber but “smoke” does (well smoke, dust and other airborne particulate that is carried in the air)). Instead in the chamber you have a light source and detector. Light is emitted from the source, reflects of the side of the detector and onto the detector. (Actually, thinking about it, I’m sure that they can also work “the other way round”, so instead of particulate blocking the light, lowering the detection levels, they can configured so the light source isn’t pointing at the detector and use the reflectivity of “smoke” to relect light onto the detector. But you get the idea. It’s been far too long since I’ve taken one apart, time to order another for fun. Anyways back to the post)

Dedicated ICs for this purpose can detect the slight lowering of light detected over time by the receiver as dust accumulates instead the chamber and adjust its trigger levels accordingly.

Removes the need for need for the scary radiation source warning label, removes the issue with the radiation source decaying over time and I’m sure comes with that lovely side effect of lowering the BOM cost.

Even though LEDs also decay, as it’s duty cycle is no where need 100% and is completely controlled by the IC I would expect the components in a photoelectric smoke detector to last much much longer than 10, but mine still came with (iirc) a 10 year expiry date on them. I would say because it’s a safety device, an abundance of caution is applied so other things ageing out have to be considered too (like the power supply caps)

Big Clive has taken these apart many a time. If this one doesn’t cover the operation of them, just search for smoke alarm on his channel and I’m sure it won’t take long before find one where he “tears down” the smoke detection chamber of an photoelectric version. https://youtu.be/uzKAZCKjpU8

No idea off the top of my head on how heat detectors (best near your kitchen so your toast doesn’t trigger them) work as personally I’ve never taken one of them apart (yet).

Ask HN: Deploying SQLite on a Production Website
I am considering deploying SQLite on a production website. I know for a fact that the application will never need a client/server architecture and that the data only need to reside on the same machine as the web application because the database is really small in size. It may reach levels of 500K reads a day and equally many writes. However, the writes consists of nothing more than "ratings", i.e. storing a single integer.

I have no experience using SQLite in production, but really love the simplicity. I have read a bit about write locking being a problem.

Do you have any experience to share about deploying SQLite in production? Is multiple writings coming from the same web application an issue?
Making it easier makes it less secure than a normal full time position. The only candidates who would apply would be people out of work.
