One of the recent phones (X or 11?) used Intel for part of its builds (as far as I remember you couldn’t tell from serial number). Apple had a lot of problems and swore off the Intel parts, which killed Intel’s wireless business.

I assumed Apple bought the Intel product line for IP, especially after that episode.
Insight grads, in my experience, have been a notorious joke. Nothing has diminished my respect for a PhD from a top-tier institution more than the people I have worked with coming out of that program.
Yes, it was very cool (I had a student sit in), but it wasn't anything like an introduction to schemes course. They made it to the nullstellensatz in the last lecture. I love Vakil's book but my attempt to teach out of it was not so successful, there is just too much there.

You can cherry pick, but with most random programs the value prop is much less obvious. And there are hundreds of them for every stand out program. In CS particularly you are probably ok right now, but it doesn’t generalize well, like your example.

[edit] if not clear, I’m not arguing post-secondary isn’t worthwhile, just picking a program like Waterloo isn’t good evidence.
But sometimes it is allergies, and you feel fine and want to get some work done. Masks aren't a big deal, I forget I have mine on, and I wear it all day. Maybe some people have more difficulty? If I vwas in construction or something more physical vthan typing I might vfeel differently.
Yes well, I would hope if you've learned nothing during this pandemic it's that there is no one-size-fits-all immune system. Some 20 year olds are dying from COVID, others are barely noticing they have symptoms.

All suggestions are de facto "anecdata". What works for me, may not work for you. I used to get "food poisoning" once a year or so, but haven't ever since I stopped eating out. That you are more resilient to whatever food born illnesses I was encountering, does not invalidate my own experience.

That does sound fun. Formal systems approaches and automata always seemed more applicable to embedded development. State machines, statecharts, etc always seemed like something I was using on my projects. However, I also felt like I was always writing loops and tests for why some bit wasn’t flipping or some event didn’t occur. That’s the frustrating part... reading and rereading manuals and scratching your head.

You're right, in the case where rail needs to get built and not just upgraded or used where it exists you need to take that into consideration. And I don't know what that means for the carbon footprint but my gut feeling is that it'd still be better than air travel in the long run.

Also not medical advice, but since I stopped being a germaphobe in 2016, I haven't gotten sick. Maybe it has to do with being less stressed in general, too.

YMMV :)

I don't "know" for sure that it was, just like I dont "know" that ANY of these factors had anything to with me not getting sick. Maybe, it was all just luck.

That said, I've been pretty good about hand washing and avoiding people my whole life. Having grown up in a medical family, personal hygiene was not something completely foreign to me. As a result, haven't had a history of being sick regularly, but it still could/would happen from time to time.

It was after I stopped eating out that I completely stopped getting sick. I am not exaggerating when I say that in the last 6 years, I have been sick 0 times. That correlates perfectly with me stopping eating out. Correlation != causation, I know.

Ask HN: Are office layouts what make us sick?
Thinking about it, enclosed spaces where you breathe other people's air for extended periods of time are an optimal way to spread germs and get folks sick. From this perspective, the trendy fishbowl rooms now seem entirely horrifying.

What can be done about this? Do we need something along the lines of hyper-ventilated office zones to stay safe in the future? Or will it always be just the cost of doing business?
The government has, not pandemic.

The pandemic wouldn't have made a lot of difference. Especially as people would have much less money to spend on junk, were it not for socialist handouts.
For sure, my point was that the debate, instead of being between government figures who are in favor of keeping the right to listen in vs. non-government figures who want to keep them out, it will shift (has shifted?) to a within-government debate. In the days after 9/11, I don't get the impression there was much of an intra-government debate at all.

> Our education system sucks (as proof by my friends who were unable to grasp this basic arithmetic). AND we have a Gig vs Employee issue that also needs to be clarified through the law.

Fixing the education system solves both of them, because then people aren't fooled into becoming a contractor when it doesn't benefit them. Then you don't need the government to force them into being an employee including in cases where they're better off as a contractor -- you only need to do the first one.
I have. Rather, the vegan I know didn't like the taste of meat.

But of course what I said had nothing to do with being vegan because you don't like the taste of cheese. What I said was, if you like the taste of meat and cheese so much so that you can't do without a substitute of it, then why are you vegan? If you are vegan, for good ethical or environmental reasons, then why do you need to eat pretend-meat and pretend-dairy? Either you are vegan and you don't want to eat meat or dairy, or you want to eat meat or dairy and you're not vegan.

"I eat it because I like the taste of it" is exactly the moralising accusation levelled at non-vegans. If I have to go without meat and dairy to satisfy your morals then you have to go without pretend-meat and dairy to satisfy mine. You can't have it both ways. You can't preach to me that eating meat is murder and then turn your back and scoff down a pretend-sausage because you like meat. That's hypocritical.

And it only encourages people to eat more meat anyway.
Yeah, the Tea Act was the monopoly grant. The Stamp Act was just a tax.

The only thing that can realistically cause a significant spike in tweet activity is a major news event, and major news events are typically unlikely to be neutral.

Critically, the baseline is fairly static, so the extremes in this graph can only be reached by fairly major events that are capable of drowning out the typical everyday tweets.
> What's wrong with calling the vegan almond milk "almond-based milk alternative" if it's not actual milk?

Costco does this. They don't call it almond milk but "Almond beverage". I think they do similar with other vegan products.
>...all mammals, need to have given birth to produce milk.

Wrong. Humans don't need to be pregnant or give birth to produce milk. Lactation can happen with medication or stimulation, which becomes easier as women age. If a woman is not inducing lactation with hormones, she must stimulate the breasts several times a day using hand compression or a breast pump. This is how adoptive and foster mothers breastfeed their babies. Lactation can also occur in men because they have milk glands, which is the reason they too can get breast cancer.
I'll have to look into that -- it might work.
ricotta contains no caseine and it's real cheese

caseine and lactose intolerance are very common conditions, they have always been for humans

throughout history people developed techniques to make cheese that contains no or little of both

Swiss cheese, Blu cheese, Gouda, Provolone, brie, Cheddar, Camembert, Münster,
Parmigiano and many others contains only 2% of lactose

From the article, it seems that container losses don't generally happen one at a time, but rather you have some event where a ship loses hundreds at once. I guess if you're quick maybe you could get a ship in and scoop them up before they sink, but in order to save more than a few you'd need a big ship and most of the time you'd just be sitting around waiting for the next container loss event, and the ship would sit idle for months or years.

I'm assuming that if it sinks in deep water it's gone, but even there maybe there's an opportunity to salvage containers off the sea floor with the right equipment. Probably not worthwhile economically, but who knows?

Maybe the best case for this could be made for ships that normally at sea doing other things to be ready to divert from their ordinary tasks to collect containers if they don't have anything more pressing. (Coast Guard ships or Navy support vessels perhaps?)

We don't need to invent new anything. So many great vegan dishes have existed for centuries and survived against meat on their own merits. Proper falafel with tabouleh and tahini is amazing. Chana or brinjal masala are a treat. Pasta with a simple 4 ingredient Napoli is the ultimate comfort food. Don't even get me started on dosa. Hell, fucking bread dipped in olive oil is good.

Yet, for God knows what reason, whenever some vegan is trying to convince me of the merits of their diet, they hand me some godawful dry sausage made of hydrolysed soy protein and say "see, it's just like a real sausage. Did you know she's Paul McCartney's daughter?". Or some fermented cashew nuts smeared on a piece of bread that they think is anything remotely like cheese. I have never understood this and have since reached the conclusion that most vegans are closer to paleo, gluten-free (not coeliac) and other alternative diet folk in that they just don't "get" people who derive a massive amount of pleasure from food.
Usually it’s not the consultants, but the clients who drive these outcomes. I think like OP consultants would happily deliver answers, explore unknowns, create tools, and lay business roadmaps. There must have been something attractive about BCG work besides the name and the pay - that ideal, working on diverse projects and affecting change and improvement isn’t impossible. But as was said, you’re usually hired to give a predetermined answer rather than actually solve a problem.
If you truly want to learn computer science from the basics, I would recommend starting with Nand to Tetris https://www.nand2tetris.org/ and the corresponding book and labs (and Coursera courses), along with Code the hidden language... They cover how a computer is actually build from first principles. After this, Structure and Interoperation of Computer Programs and the Algorithm Design Manual.
> I'm curious what people think about Rust as a long-term investment from an employment/job perspective. Is it going to pay the bills for the next 10 years?

The answer is almost certainly: no.

From a career standpoint, you would be better off learning C/C++ in much more detail before investing time in Rust.

If you want the "canary in the coal mine", watch what the game developers use for the game engines (they mostly use C++ right now). When Rust starts becoming common among game developers, it's got enough momentum for a job ("career" is probably a bit much).

However, even when Rust hits critical mass, it's unlikely to be a "career choice" programming language--you will have to know Rust AND <something else more important>. The world has changed, and "One Language To Rule Them All" is no longer a thing.

C, Java, Python, C++, Javascript, C# are going to hold the top 5 of programming languages for the conceivable future. Not matter how good Rust is it is not going to displace C and C++ on any reasonable timescale--inertia is a thing. Swift and Visual Basic have their niche and nothing is going to blast them out of it.

After that, it's pretty much a free-for-all in terms of language popularity, but everything is tiny at that point.
Come to think of it, what you're describing is pretty similar to a panorama photo

I remember reading a conspiracy theory back in ~ April 2020 that said "what happened to the flu" / "why are flu cases down so sharply?"

It was literally so stupid that it took me a minute or two to understand that the implication was that conspiracy theorists think flu cases were being categorized as covid.
So what would the ideal API look like, in your opinion? CreateProcess, as it exists now, has lpStartupInfo->lpAttributeList parameter which is a huge and growing list of various flags and knobs; what would an extensible, declarative API look like in an OS written in OCaml?

> you don't want to break API compatibility all the time.

Indeed you don't, unless you're okay with forcing your users to rewrite all the libraries and/or applications every couple of years. That's true of any programming environment, imperative or not.

> various complex hacks (COW, various more "leightweight" fork alternatives

Copy-on-write is as much a hack as persistent data structures are: it's just more coarse-grained.
Aditya decided to join a supervisor with questionable ethics who ran a very ill-conceived research project. He could have chosen someone else for his thesis or spoken up when the paper went for submission, or at least stepped aside from kernel development but instead decided to dig in. It's all very poor judgement on his part, in multiple instances. There's no need to normalize that behaviour, because it's not normal, at least not in the world I'd like to live in.

Ask HN: What's a good software for soliciting feedback?
From talking to a friend recently, I realized that I'm overly pessimistic about my ability to be helpful to other people.

To fix this, they said they wouldn't mind filling out a feedback form after conversations to give me a more accurate understanding of how helpful I've been. After they suggested this, I realized that I could make use of this more frequently in all conversations I'm involved in.

I don't want it to be a pain for people to fill out so I'm trying to figure out what the fastest to fill out form I could share would be.

I could probably use google forms or survey monkey but I'm wondering if there are better solutions for what I'm looking for.

Home by Bill Bryson - not the first thing you might think of but tells fascinating story of Frederick Tudor who spent a fortune in 1840s taking ice from Lake Wenham in New York State and persuading the world you could refrigerate food from America across the Atlantic.

With the completion of the Erie Canal, buffalo, cattle and wheat from the Great Plains could arrive in Chicago, be butchered, kept in giant ice warehouses then shipped in box cars and boats lined with ice across the lakes, down the canal, out NY harbour and across to a Europe that was experiencing a massive population growth (1848 revolutions).

This first wave of globalisation dropped food prices globally causing (by the 1870s) massive economic collapses and shifts away from failing farmlands. British landed gentry never recovered, and the links to WWI are clear.

The US civil war would have been very different without the Erie canal if the worlds food supply went south down the Missiippi to get out to the Atlantic

All because someone liked Christoph in Frozen and want to sell ice.

Bryson is a brilliant author and this one of his best.

> Then why are healthcare costs in the UK (socialised) and Europe (typically private, but highly regulated with a social option) dramatically lower than US (private) healthcare costs despite similar levels of care?

They don’t have similar levels of care, that’s why. Wait times are longer and the care is overall of lower quality.

It’s also hard to compare countries directly. In the USA we have a big “underclass” of very unhealthy people (that falls along both socioeconomic and racial lines), which the countries you’re pointing out largely don’t.
