It's also important to realize that you don't need to buy time as much as you think you do. When in the spotlight, people tend to think they need to react quickly under penalty of seeming insecure. It's false. You can take a few seconds to prepare an answer and it still seems natural, even projecting an aura of confidence.

I would add that you can take a lot more time than you probably think you can, as long as you "own it" properly. If you get asked a hard question, the audience will probably realize it's a hard question. I would have no problem standing there for 30 seconds or more, saying absolutely nothing in some cases. But I would say the key is to not act anxious, nervous, or scared in that case. Just try to convey the sense that you're a sharp, qualified person, who has just been asked a Really Hard Question and needs time to ponder it.

You can do that by not fidgeting, and by controlled mannerisms: look up and out into space, but in an obviously conscious manner... or chew your bottom lip a little and furrow your brow... or steeple your hands and look at your hands while also having a furrowed brow, etc. There are other ways to communicate what I'm getting at, so just experiment. What you don't want is a "deer in the headlights" look, or that stereotypical "blank expression" that conveys "I have no clue what's going on right now."

The key point is, you don't have to have an immediate answer to every question. Pauses and silence are OK, to a point.

Most games seek to entertain rather than to provoke. They are the Harry Potters and James Bonds of the world. Go a bit deeper and you find what you are looking for though. A hard limit of games is the fact that books let your reading experience be entirely visually unique to you. A character looks a certain way to you, their actions have your own interpretation.

For me, Firewatch was a stunning call to action about avoiding the problems in your life. Beyond direct narrative, there is the silent story seen in games that is rarely seen in books. The implied bits, the attention to detail, the care and love to the craft.
For example, there are bits of the Zelda franchise that trends a hair into Jack Kerouac's ending of On The Road. The little moments where you can feel and realize the breath experience of those you interact with, the people you save and those who save you. In that moment you can feel that book-like internal narrative defining all that could have been or might have been. Zelda Wind Waker is exceptionally notable in this space. Majora's Mask defined it.

Well, I’ll tell ya, and this is just me.

But last night, I re-watched Waterworld. It was the first time in quite a while.

And I found myself thinking, “Man, that life would be pretty cool. Global warming would be pretty cool. Why haven’t the ice caps melted yet?”

Honestly, I remember they were supposed to be totally melted by 2007. And then it got pushed up to 2014. And then 2018. And now here we are in 2021 with the same thick, boring ice caps, and Dryland is still not a myth.

I don’t know about you, but I’m getting tired of our boring pre-apocalyptic world.

If Bitcoin is now what will bring about the Waterworld, then I’ll tell you what: I’m all for it.

Just call me “The Mariner.” ‘Cause I’ll be marinatin’ in BTC awaiting the end of this world, and the dawning of a far more watery one.

That's the problem though, a C for loop doesn't really work like that. We only recently got something close with the "range-based for" in C++, and while python's list comprehensions do pretty much exactly what I think mathematical "for" should, it re-uses the keyword in different ways elsewhere.

> I am arguing that not what the intent was originally for - it's a side effect that can help, but wasn't considered.

And I'm saying the intent doesn't matter, the side effect does. Let's say one group A say eating brain of fallen foes is good, gives strength, group B say, don't eat humans - that angers gods.

Group A eats some fallen foes, and by chance contracts prion disease and dies out.

Group B isn't going to think yeah, this was caused by microscopic particles. They are going to think - See. I was right. Gods are angry at you. Then they will persist to replicate the behavior for centuries after it could make any impact.

> I feel like that's a huge leap for what an STI can do.

It was an example. Since it already affects the brain, it could just evolve to make you more likely to engage in risky behavior and not use condom (like giving you an allergic reaction when using latex). Right now, it doesn't have this ability. But can we be certain it won't acquire it in future? We know at least one pathogen that can alter behavior in mammals (Toxoplasmosis).

It's better ofc, to eradicate it now and not worry about it, but the thing is, promiscuous behavior will always be a breeding lab for these kind of pathogens. Even if none exist, some might evolve into it. If there is a niche to be exploited, some pathogen will evolve to exploit it.

Misleading people about the power of a technology doesn't make something a Ponzi scheme. You need to mislead investors about the origin of their returns. Purposeful speculation isn't a Ponzi scheme even if the speculators were misled about the thing they are speculating on.
I was curious so I did a bit of historical research.

The "for" loop comes from ALGOL[0]. In ALGOL, the FOR statement supports syntax like "FOR V:= AEXP1, AEXP2,... DO". That's like the higher-level iterator syntax, except it's assigning V via iteration over a sequence of expressions (AEXP N) that is fixed at compile time. That's the context where FOR makes sense as a term. (Step 1: thesis)

Now, ALGOL also happens to support a FOR-STEP-WHILE format, which works the same way as the C for-loop[0]. That makes less sense from a mathematical nomenclature perspective, but it is justified through analogy to the original FOR definition.

When C, which was based in part on ALGOL, implemented for, it dropped the original meaning and kept the special case meaning because the latter was more useful, being dynamic instead of fixed at compile time. Hence, the for loop. (Step 2: antithesis)

Eventually other languages implemented for with iterators, returning to the original ALGOL meaning of for, but synthesizing it with the dynamism of the C for loop. (Step 3: synthesis)

I'm not sure. From Lambda's website it looks like they are just releasing a program co-developed by Amazon. It's modeled off of an internal training program Amazon has. I didn't see any statements about interviewing or working at Amazon. I think Lambda would brag about a program that was designed to get students jobs at Amazon. I don't think there's any guarantee of a job or interview.

It's true that there is less GEO real estate in this sense. But to kick off Kessler syndrome, you need two objects in different orbital planes so that they collide at very high speed. It wouldn't be possible for two defunct GEO satellites to collide, because two nearby GEO satellites are moving in the same direction at the same speed.
It seems like you are moving goal posts. I demonstrated that a mechanism to convert employee into a contractor is possible. The British Gas could have given them any type of contract.
> The risk comes from debris from a possible collision being ejected into a higher orbit.

Is that a thing that can happen?

My intuition is it would be possible if a rocket currently boosting to a higher orbit were to collide with something on its way there, but two objects in the same orbit colliding couldn't get enough delta-v to actually get to a higher orbit. They could maybe get "higher", but not at orbital speeds and so would rapidly decay.

I know next to nothing about orbital mechanics, so maybe someone who does can provide some better insight here.
Hola, y saludos!

> Pero los novatos y aprendices que nunca han programado y que no hablan inglés, quizás podrían aprender mejor con un lenguaje en su idioma.

Es mi opiñon que el pueblo (hispanohablante) que esten aprendiendo la programacion traslape mucho con el pueblo que por lo menos conoce un poco de ingles. Asi, las palabras comunes como `print`, `if`, y `return` son muy faciles aprender.

Yo estoy de acuerdo con tus comentarios sobre la fragmentacion; el problema que tengo yo con este idea de lenguajes de programacion en otras lenguas es que el vocabulario no es interoperable. Si una persona empieza aqui, está empezando con una desventaja. Está condenada a usar esta lenguaje - que quizás no sirve para la aplicacion deseada.

Con todo esto, quiero decir que es una victoria cada novato que empieze aprender la programacion. Solo que el lenguaje en español puede ser una trampa - ya dijiste tú en cómo: por ejemplo, no se puede comunicar en StackOverflow para buscar ayuda.

Mucho gusto comunicarme contigo, el español es una de mis lenguas pero no es la primaria. Saludos

"And experts worry those studies will show a spike in suicide..."

The results weren't in, yet, when that article was written. The Lancet article is from April 2021; yours is from September 2020.

Experts are sometimes surprised by results; it's also possible the whole-population numbers have some subsets that go up and other subsets that go down.
A major difference between Datalog and SQL is that Datalog uses set semantics, whereas SQL uses bag semantics. For those not aware, that means facts in datalog are unique. SQL’s equivalent to facts (records) are not unique, and relations can contain duplicates.
Yes, I'm aware that orbital mechanics is not that simple, that's why I specifically didn't talk about "upward" as a higher orbit isn't necessarily caused by a push in that direction.

Sibling comment ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26809297 ) is better at outlining that I was wrong: apparently a single impact cannot produce an entirely higher orbit, for debris sent in _any_ initial direction. At best, it produces elliptical orbits with a higher apogee, and the same drag at perigee.

Let's say the NYT publishes an article about the president. You, believing it to be an accurate representation of facts, share the article. It turns out the NYT writer made it all up. Do you think it's reasonable to punish you for libel?

I think it's clear this ruling is totally incompatible with a free press and free speech. Only the original source should be held accountable.
My main problem is with the premise that as long as it meets some minimum level of happiness, then it's a life worth living. That means that you keep getting a bigger (wider) happiness area by adding those almost miserable people.

But what if the threshold wasn't whether they'd rather commit suicide? What if there was no threshold? Suppose that you measured the difference from the max happiness anyone could possibly achieve with the actual happiness of the individual.

Subtract the "missed out happiness" from the happiness level, and do this for each individual that has ever existed through the course of the population's history.

If the average happiness is below half of whatever the max happiness is, then you add a negative value each time you add a person. This decreases the population/history net happiness.

When things are good, then adding one person will have a positive effect on the population/history net happiness. Just like in real life animal populations, when things get too dense for a space and its resources, then net happiness decreases, so the optimal value lies in some middle sweet spot.

Since we're calculating the value for the entire history of the population, killing unhappy people won't increase the population's net happiness value. Only adding more people will increase or decrease it.
