In Starcraft, you get a curious phenomena with regards to how good people think they are based on the league they're in:

Bronze league players (lowest) know they're bad and that they don't understand the game.

Silver and Gold league players (2nd and 3rd lowest) think they're better and are really starting to get a grasp on how Starcraft operates

Platinum league players think they basically know everything and just need to work on a few minor issues

Diamond league players begins to realize there is so much more depth than they imagined, and those 'minor issues' are actually oceans of complexity and depth

Master league players fully comprehend the depths of their own ignorance and lack of skill, as they are now finally able to look at the professionals and grasp the massive gulf between themselves and the pros.

Reddit has bronze league understanding of physics, HN has platinum level understanding.
As a geologist, we can definitely have an unusual idea of what counts as "fast" :)

That's a good question, I would say if anyone found fungi before the GOE that would be a big surprise. Finding them after the GOE makes sense, so doesn't necessarily change our understanding of the GOE -- but if they really were around this soon after (if this article is correct) that would definitely seem to have interesting implications for the evolutionary origin of fungi.

> Counterexample: MS Access apps are often a maintenance nightmare.

They end up being a maintenance nightmare because they are undocumented and flooded with poorly written VBA, which is hardly low-code. A non-VBA Access Database is trivial to maintain, but VBA is a full programming language, so if that's heavily used it's really maintaining a VB6 Winforms application, which isn't what we would now typically call 'low code' in terms of this article.

(As an aside, I would actually personally argue that a completely undocumented MS Access database is actually slightly easier to maintain than an equally undocumented web application anyway. The reason these tend to be a 'maintenance nightmare' is that they are typically made in Shadow-IT rather than the technology itself which is very simple).
> All I am saying is that if people who are in the top 1% got there because of being smarter and being willing to work hard, then to the extend these traits are heritable you should expect their children to have these traits as well.

And that is literally racism.
The idea that the groups that are in power are there for a generic reason. It's precisely what people in the 1800s said. It's literally what fuels Nazis and the KKK.

Yeah, keurigs seem to only choose 1 of the fast/cheap/quality "choose two" options.

It's too expensive and for my tastes, entirely too weak. We have one at work, and I tried a reusable pod with double the coffee and still wasn't a fan. That goes for most coffee though-- When I buy at Dunkin Donuts I have them add an extra shot if espresso. With instant I can actually control strength more easily than with other methods... Aeropress I would usually run the water through twice. And with french presses I can never seem to avoid getting a bunch of coffee grounds mixed it so the last few sips are extremely gritty.

My biggest problem is with hardware/software combos bolted to something like tractors.

When I was working as a surveyor for my families construction company, we gradually transitioned to having surveying capabilities added to our machines.

And I can tell you they are overpriced pieces of garbage that still work but boy they are backwards. There is some really cool tech but it's obscured by really old buggy software.

The problem with bolting things to existing equipment is you are going to face so many hurdles that is why only a certain type of companies even try to do it. Those include being allowed to integrate with the hardware. Usually not companies that developers interested in elegant solutions. Not that I don't think people that work for those companies can't do interesting things they are usually hindered in doing so.

That is why most companies trying to innovate go the route of building things themselves.

That is also where you would find people that believe in open source that want to do interesting things.

Why bolt things to a tractors whey you can just mod something like a 4x4 vehicle.

I'm a person that would not build a farmbot or probably work much on it in my free time. Have plenty of side projects. But I think their tech is cool and their methodology I feel is right. So I would probably join them as a developer if things lined up. I can't say the same for any of the other projects.

What you need to look out for is when developers are excited about something. It doesn't mean it's the right solution but it's really good starting point.
That explains a ten second delay, not a couple of hours as parent poster claims.
It would be nice to know what mushroom exactly.

For example in pizza they often add something that seems to not even have a proper English name: white mushroom / common mushroom ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agaricus_bisporus ), which is cultivated.

Then there are countries with a culture of collecting mushrooms (mainly Slavic countries?) which know a lot of varieties and use them for various sauces and condiments.

Then there are various types of mushrooms used in Asian cuisine.

It is easy to eat 18 grams of mushroom per day -> just some pizza... but I wonder if this really was the most common type, or rather some rarer mushroom. Perhaps something from Japan? Where people live longer.

Blair Winters – Winterswonderland Onlyfans Leak

A lot of the reason why the curriculum is the way it is (with only allowing graphing calculators) is because TI lobbies aggressively to maintain their monopoly. They sell $15 devices for $150 with many high schoolers required to own one.

From https://thehustle.co/graphing-calculators-expensive/:

> The company campaigned against devices with touchscreens, internet connection, and QWERTY keyboards. In one instance, it even lobbied the Texas legislature to make it mandatory for all students to take Algebra II — a course that often requires the use of a TI graphing calculator.

> “A lot of [TI’s] graphing calculator success was due to really aggressive lobbying for certain policies,” a source in the education space told The Hustle. “They made it so that that the types of things you were allowed to bring into a test were essentially limited to their devices.”

There's free alternatives that others are increasingly turning to, like an app-based graphing calculator through https://www.desmos.com/
In optimizations, you focus on a few metrics, like throughput, latency, resource usage, but deciding to improve one can (and usually does) impact the others. Java (that is, OpenJDK) usually trades of RAM for throughput.
And compared to high-level languages doing comparable work, it doesn't use much memory. Of course a low-level language like Rust can be more lean, but that's beside the point. And in this case presumably, Rust could be made to have a better throughput by using more memory.
In PowerApps they are called model-driven forms, and there is in-built version control!

And although it's easy to write a HTML form, it tends to be slightly harder to write the code handling it on the backend to change the database, with full user/roll based authentication and validation - particularly if you are integrating it into your ERP.

If the use case is a form to interact with Microsoft Dynamics, something built in PowerApps model-driven apps will be much more robust, quicker to develop and more secure than a html form with some custom handler.

This reminds me of the US military vet that passed a few years ago at over 110 years old, with a life full of indulging in whiskey and cigars. His name is Richard Overton. [1]

It is clear how an individual may come to believe that this man’s genes were/are quantifiably better than others in these regards, due to how his body responded to - and managed - his long term intake of alcohol and tobacco, including the unspoken harmful ingredients.

Thought for the future: What follows the comprehensive identification of ideal traits and their genetic code..? Will “designer babies” become a new normal..?

Also throwaway. You hit the nail on the head. Reddit keeps being looked down upon but it has a much higher concentration of people who know what they are talking about. HN hasn’t really been about tech/startups in quite some time. It seems that way on the surface but the commentary on every subject is so emotionally charged and looking for an axe to grind, it’s hard to take this website seriously anymore.

I wouldn’t really call it crackpot, however. It’s just incredibly misguided and ignorant. I’m sad to say even the rare technical threads are filled with people who should know better than to post rubbish they do, because it transfers onto those who know even less. I think a predominant reason for this is that if you call people out on their bullshit, you’re likely going to be downvoted so people tend not to bother with it anymore. HN has gone through a few cycles of actually useful commentators leaving the site (and writing up about it). The remains are less than stellar.
True fit is more of a conversion boosting tool rather than a tool to help the consumer.

I worked at Levi’s Corp for 3 years and was surprised to learn that clothes have large tolerances in sizes to keep costs down.

True fit says you should select a size based on the size you wear in another brand. That won’t work because no brands have consistent sizing. Even if a brand used extremely tight size tolerances, brands actively size up and down their clothes based on the whims of merchants.

The solution is to just buy 3 sizes of each item you want and select the best fit and return the rest.

Thanks! I've heard of matcha as some sort of tea-like thing, but never really looked into it. I'll give it a try!

Have is very much not caffeine, but in appearance matcha reminds me of kava powder. I'd recommend it as an interesting additive (and mild anti-anxiety) when I make coffee smoothies with iced instant coffee and cashew milk (I much prefer regular milk but even skim has too many calories for me, and cashew is a little creamier to my taste than almond) The kava part is a bit of an acquired tasted, but adds a nice tingly feeling once you get used to it. It just needs a lot of shaking in a shaker smoothie cup, or a blender, to mix nicely otherwise it gets clumpy. Definitely a very high-latency option.

For essentially every form of UB that compilers actually take advantage of, there's a real program optimization benefit. Are there any particular UB cases where you think the benefit isn't worth it, or it should be implementation-specific behavior instead of undefined behavior?

Functions like ntohl and htonl are the biggest blemish in the design of the Berkeley Sockets API because it's defined to read memory off the wire without deserializing it.

Some of us are genetically unable to process aspartame and related sweeteners. I am one of those unfortunate individuals.

That means the the sweetness and after-taste of aspartame lasts for hours and hours, sometimes even 24 hours.

Many times I have had something to drink and then found that the drink was sweetened, in part at least, with aspartame. That taught me to look very closely at the ingredients list. Some companies will replace maybe half the expensive sugar in their drinks with cheaper artificial sweeteners. Of course, they don't tell you that up front.

Do they fund the SALT deduction? NY and CA pay more in taxes to the Federal government than they receive back in inward investment. Sounds like it's the states with no state tax that are being subsised to me.
I agree since they should not be using WhatsApp for internal communications. The problem is that they do not see it that way since it adds additional hurdles with respect to communications from their perspective.

Unless you talk about embedded, I have to disagree. RAM is the cheapest resource to scale and it will likely continue to grow without problems. There are server machines with 1TB of RAM available. And in the domain where Java is used, it uses totally apt amounts of RAM compared to other managed languages.
You're right, of course, although surely anyone who isn't ignorant knows that rock n roll was black music, and in any case Elvis (and countless others all the way—I would say down, but that's mean—to Cliff Richard and Pat Boone) were busy at that before the Beatles.

By the way, if anyone is interested in this who doesn't know the incredible story of the Detroit proto-punk band Death, it's sort of a glimpse into a parallel reality in which all this didn't happen (but it did happen, so they were forgotten for 30 years).

> I pay more now because of the SALT cap, but I still support the idea - why should residents of low tax states subsidize residents of high tax states, all other things being equal?

Under a federalist, state-first system, the federal government shouldn’t consider mandated transfers to state (including administrative subdivisions) government which plays the primary role in the conditions of local commerce which enables income as part of the free income of a taxpayer subject to taxation (this also avoids federal taxes altering the calculus of net benefit in state democratic decisionmaking on tax and spending.) In a federal-first, centralized system, ignoring state taxes consistently makes sense. In either case, a limited SALT deduction has no principled justification, and is simply an effort to use the power of federal tax policy to put a federal thumb on the scales of state decisionmaking to get the successful states whose economic success makes them net contributors to the federal government to adopt tax and spending policies more like those characterizing the politically-overrepresented but less successful states that are net drains on federal resources, leveling the playing field by making every place suck equally, so at least the former can’t make the latter look so bad any more, while advancing the Norquistian vision of shrinking the size of government to where it can be drowned in a bathtub, without concern for thr consequences, because ideology.

If you have an idea for something novel that you're passionate, then build it. Don't worry about recruiters not understanding it or whatever, ultimately if you somewhat match the job description you will get your resume in front of a hiring manager who will likely understand it more.

If you don't have a novel idea or passion project, then build something that you would find useful. If you actually use the software you write you will be more likely to complete it and polish it into an impressive state. If it's really good and open source it might even draw attention from the larger community and wind up opening doors that no recruiter would.

Good luck. I didn't take the FAANG path but sometimes look back and wish I had done that a bit, at least in my 20s.
Because it makes it clear what's going on. Most of those functions just generate a move, but it's the correct move.

I had to read through excessively-clever C++ code that did the same thing to figure out what conversions were happening, then re-express it in Rust. I'm re-implementing a legacy mess that people are afraid to work on. As it happens, in this message system, some items, mainly packet sequence numbers, are big-endian, because they were following what IP and UDP do, and everything else is little endian.

I know how to do this with shifts and masks, and I've done things like that when programming in assembly. That was a long time ago. There's been progress in how to write programs.
Most make it super easy. I think Amazon even includes a return label just in case. Waaay better than driving to a store with perfume masking stink, wait in line for fitting rooms, wait in line to pay. So many cons to going in store… most stores are stink boxes.
Not so easy. It seems that major companies are on the offensive against privacy.

Google search, map and translate display a pop up. Youtube search displays two (!).

Bing translator is the most dishonest - for anything else than a trivial sentence, it requires a captcha to be completed, pretending that it detected abnormal traffic (I know it's a lie, because if I don't use private mode, it doesn't do this).

The services above essentially defeat address bar (keyword-based) searches.

It's interesting (and not in a good way) times. I've changed almost all the services I use, which is something I've never considered before. I have to say that there are valid alternatives, though.

Did they make risk adjustments for any confounding factors? It seems like all they found is correlation so it doesn't necessarily follow that eating mushrooms was actually the reason for the reduced risk.
> They aren’t asking to parse all valid xml. They wanted to parse a small known subset. Regex can be an excellent tool in that situation.

Rarely better than using an existing general XML parser and then validating the additional constraints, especially in terms of implementation and maintenance cost.
