Typically, you'd do Measurement System Analysis (MSA)[1] which includes things like repeatability, reproducibility, drift and linearity. A standard traceable to an authority such as NIST is needed to do this.

For length, MSA can be easily conducted. For happiness, what metrology system are you going to use? What's the proposed measurement method?

Something else very similar would probably exist. And in that universe, people would probably go "Do you think DeNile would just exist if Ben Jeffries didn't do what he did?".
I find that for PEPs like this there is not adequate discussion of performance implications. It describes an "opt-out" mechanism which suggests that Python programs will and should by default incur a performance penalty for this behavior. Broadly it's indicative of a culture that wants all the features without putting thought to how slow the language implementation is.

Aha, thanks for support! It's nice to hear responses as it's my first time using hacker news, learn about here from friend posting his MacOS simulating(https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27084995), I've been concerned about whether my posting meets the rules XD.

Those are _your_ terms I was referring to.

No, but I'm also not saying: "current kernel dev culture still promotes exclusion and building walls".
If you come up with such bold allegations you'll have to back them up.

No, because "perfect" is an individual opinion.
What other ways are you thinking of? Whole eggs, vegetables cooked in butter or oil, and fatty cuts of meat are probably the easiest for most people. But sardines are also easy because they're precooked.

Strength training, and good sleep to support the training, also help a great deal, but is not as easily managed as adding something relatively tasty and convenient to one's diet.

Eating a high quantity of diverse vegetables every day is a great idea but the practical effectiveness stumbles due to the difficulty of the habit change.
The result of cutting too many "wastes".

Tab management is hell for me it is one of the most annoying things that I have to deal in my life. It's almost driving me crazy but funny enough no "Tab Extension" helps me since I'm not sure how reliable it is; I don't want to store my tabs remotely and then wake one day only to find it gone. Only thing that I can do is to export my tab links locally.

We need local Tab Management solution so I can do it safely on my local PC.

I remember one time I was in Tab frenzy and I had around 100 tabs opened on my mobile phone Chrome browser and I think I hit the maximum limit because Chrome started showing me smiley face every time I tried to open a new tab I guess cool Easter Egg.

I had an idea of getting rid of "Browser Tab" concept and include all opened Tabs in one tab as HTML document so for example when you open a new Tab(web link) it would get included in your HTML document tab so essentially you would have a list of all opened Tabs(web links).

Imagine having one tab in your browser in a form of HTML document with the list of all "opened tabs" , "recently closed" etc. something similar to "Browser History" but of active sessions(web links). Something similar is done by Tab Extensions but they are not good enough.

You could even emulate links (load all web pages in one web HTML document) or scrape them and incrementally search them all in order to minimize tremendous management hassle and noise from information overload.
shut the fck up dude

seriously.
This reminds me of a web hosting/managed colocation company I worked for back in the early 2000s. They pretty much only had unix sysadmins so basically every windows box got cygwin and activestate perl because it was really the only thing these guys knew how to use. Nobody ever bothered to learn how to script a windows machine. PowerShell was still in its infancy. But nowadays I don't think it's really appropriate to not use the platform-native tools to administer the machine.

Imagine installing windows powershell on debian because you don't know how to write unix shell scripts.
The stuff at local stores also came long distances by truck.

Yes, there are vast numbers of them. I know doctors who do not believe the dog at the door wagging its tail when the person arrives to be experiencing emotions.

I believe the dog is happy and excited and eager to greet its friend of another species, but many, many people believe that dog is exhibiting purely mechanical behavior driven by instinct alone.
I mildly disagree with the article. “there are already enough UI toolkits available for the Linux desktop” - that is not my view of the Linux ecosystem.

I am not a UI developer, but a year ago I did evaluate Flutter and SwiftUI. I liked both, but it was so much easier using Flutter, and cross platform is not much more work.
Of course, once you get to the second, we are now just measuring something, and our unit is based on counting a thing. But how do you measure something that can't be counted?
I agree with you. I'm not shunning the controversial views, but rather the publication classifying them as such. Before even presenting those views, no less.
> I think the educational and psychological studies I mentioned are examples of what I would like to call Cargo Cult Science. In the South Seas there is a Cargo Cult of people. During the war they saw airplanes land with lots of good materials, and they want the same thing to happen now. So they’ve arranged to make things like runways, to put fires along the sides of the runways, to make a wooden hut for a man to sit in, with two wooden pieces on his head like headphones and bars of bamboo sticking out like antennas—he’s the controller—and they wait for the airplanes to land. They’re doing everything right. The form is perfect. It looks exactly the way it looked before. But it doesn’t work. No airplanes land. So I call these things Cargo Cult Science, because they follow all the apparent precepts and forms of scientific investigation, but they’re missing something essential, because the planes don’t land.

He built it before he was concerned about global warming. What can he do about it now? Selling it won't help. Tearing it down is also a waste. Might as well use it.
None of that requires a 50% tax rate like you see in some places. I don't think you realise just how much is wasted. Go look at national debt figures, we could get the same things with half the tax.

The infrastructure argument is moot, too. Just look at US infrastructure crumbling to bits.
Study Ottawa Canada. 4 waves, and the wave peaked 2 weeks after the imposition of stricter controls for all 4. It's all about compliance, and Ottawa has fairly good voluntary compliance and little of the essential industry that escaped lockdown and has been fueling the outbreaks elsewhere in Ontario.

Interesting but, I don't really think I understand what this is. Would you mind explaining it in lay terms?
Utter stupidity.

Even if you did order enough to produce a run, there is no guarantee you’ll get the full quantity or any at all. Suffice it to say I know this first hand. Had a vendor come back and say, “Sorry, we know we promised your order by June, but it isn’t going to happen.” Thankfully getting a break on a new part, but respin and recertification cost and time are also causing heartburn.
You may be assigning more intent than is necessary to explain the (very real) reproducibility problem in psych.

Not to belabor this but to note the irony here: there is probably a similar psychological (ehem) phenomenon that happens to a psyc grad student who lets their presumptions bleed into their interpretation of a measurement.

This is a good point I forgot to mention. We have to be careful to never let staff from outside of NY enter the state and do any kind of business here or they can hit fairly serious tax issues.

This is also pretty much exact same advice as one should use for learning touch typing. I was stuck on some lesson because I was trying to go too quickly and kept mistyping. It's said in many places that you should go slow enough to not make mistakes. Once I did that, I went ahead just fine.

By the way, touch typing took about a month to learn, twenty minutes a day—though of course a few more months to get used to it, in practice. (As for playing music, however—never managed that.)
Ok, some other examples include:

-Seminaries and monasteries that only house and educate men.

-Women's colleges that only house and educate women.

-Homeless and domestic violence shelters that only house men or women.

-All-boys and all-girls schools that only educate boys or girls.

I don't have a strong opinion on whether this is "good" or "bad". I'm just pointing out that there are many examples though out the United States. So your statement that "the bay area is rebranding separate but equal" just doesn't make any sense when this is common in various forms throughout the entire United States.

I've been getting paid to write JS/TS for about 10 years. I think I've used the `class` keyword less than 5 times in the last 5 years and feel better off without it. I've found that a more functional style leads to better separation of state/data from any logic you have to write, allowing for a better testing experience and an easier time refactoring. Plus it means I have to think way less about what `this` means.

At the end of the day, features of languages are just tools, and sometimes they fit the problem you're trying to solve. I think it's also important to decide what tools to use in the context of what experience you and your team already have.

Also, it's hard to have small .js files when you use classes, and I love small files. I think Go made a great design decision to allow functions on structs to be implemented in separate files.

Interesting that New Zealand and Australia were excluded from the study. Both had hard lockdowns and both eliminated the virus and are largely back to normal life. Makes me suspect the data was cherry picked to fit a desired outcome.

I 'get' that I just don't get it ;)

O1 sure I leave stuff open to remind me too. Like the PR I didn't finish reviewing. But once I'm done I close the tab.

O2/O3 I get that but I don't need a tab open. I use Firefox and no bookmarks. I just type what I remember to find something specific. Let's say I need to revisit a google doc about a certain topic. I'll type "docs <topic title part>" and most likely it'll be one of the top 3 results shown from my browsing history. I find _everything_ that way and I just don't get why I'd need to leave the tab open or sort things into bookmarks with categories and such.

O4 I am particularly talking about work so I wonder how this would play a role but who knows.

O5/O6 this seems largely to correspond to O1 if you ask me. I do sometimes find duplicate tabs open and close them or I find reminder tabs that I no longer need because something else reminded me of them but I did that task in a new tab, which is since closed. The point is that if I have only maybe 20 tabs total open it's easy to clean up. I would agree that having 500 open would just be overwhelming. Then again I'm known to go over our 'backlog' and just close 500 tickets in an hour long session because our product managers can't apparently keep the backlog at a reasonable size.
I didn’t say it was a good unit, just that it was one.

That being said, I’d argue “2001 dollars” is a unit, not “dollars”. You’ll often see data in econ journals cite something in that type of unit.

Another angle on this is that comparing wealth across time is nontrivial (and the money isn’t to blame). How do you compare the value of a iPhone in 2020 to a landline in 1980? It’s possible, but nontrivial. Our units (in some messy imperfect way) reflect that (and other factors).
Maybe your feeble brain couldn't read what I said. I said M1, not macOS as a whole. This discussion in about M1, think again. I can guarantee you will find nothing pointing in that direction for M1. Go ahead, look.
What happens if two people jump off bridges on opposite sides of the earth? How does that work in that interpretation?
Falcon 9 is about half the price of competitors right now, though the internal cost is under half that again; a lack of competition has prevented SpaceX from needing to lower prices further.

Starship doesn't have an unambiguous cost because it's dependent so heavily on factors like market size, whether the Mars thing happens, and reliability. A marginal cost of a few million dollars is an explicit goal, but a more short-term rough goal is about Falcon 9 prices, or $50m/launch. That's both a very reasonable number, and also still more than 10x better than the competition.

It is clear from when he originally brought it up that those articles had been, eventually, removed. Indeed, part of his point (and a relevant issue, I believe) was to ask why this took so long. Since this must be clear to you, it seems that your comment is disingenuous.
:) Sorry, my bad.
It describes a very sharp increase in created money. The poster of the linked tweet is implying this is unique and we will see negative economic effects (like inflation) because of it.

Parent to that tweet is arguing we have not seen those effects despite past federal reserve action and so there is no worry.

The wider context to this conversation is that some people [who?] believe federal reserve policy is flawed and supported by systemic bias in the reporting of economic indicators like GDP.
This seems a bit different from the feel of it. The towns are subsidizing short term stays of 2-6 months. You are renting from someone else, so you're not really making a significant investment.

I'm often skeptical about those things, because they try to measure, but those measure are based on a definition of vocabulary, which is difficult to define.

Personality is vague. It's pretty common knowledge that the brain is a complex machine and it's quite difficult to distillate some sort of evaluation, metric or measure for something that obviously has a million or billions ways to be measured.

It's already hard or difficult to treat psychiatric illness, so evaluating personality seems like an odd quest.
> ...free people, living in a free country, should be free to give their wealth to whomever they please, including their children.

Sure. And those children should be as free as anyone else to pay the appropriate tax rate on that category of income. (Given that it's a sudden unearned windfall, a pretty high rate seems quite equitable.)
I am dumb, and deserve these downvotes.

I’m not sure, I’m not a psychologist. I’m only arguing that such a unit could exist (either now or at some point in the future).

There is an element to that, but it is not only that.

Most (but not all) sizable wealth builders I've met or done research on have been people with a combination of:

- ability to cut through bullshit but play the game (so can generate bullshit when necessary, but aren't fooled or impeded by it)
- work hard (yes - bill gates, bezos, etc. all worked their asses off during many important periods).
- know the right things to work on (so avoid expending their effort on digging ditches when they can spend the effort negotiating better deals)
- get in the right place at the right time (combination of luck, pragmatism, paying attention to wider trends). You can influence this, but never really control it.
- ability to work with wildly different people effectively (often nicely, often not nicely depending on the group) to get what they needed done
- ability to raise capital, and put it to use. (significant environmental, education, networking effects here)
- don't give away the farm/give away too much of their own ownership or assets.
- knows how to effectively address a market and deliver a useful product, or find and direct people who do.

This is not a common set of qualities. If you spent all the money in the world on training, you'd be lucky if 1 in 10 people could pick those qualities up. With Genetics and personality traits (ignoring the nurture element), even if they cloned themselves I doubt you'd get better than 50/50 odds.

If being a wealth builder is the result of a large confluence of events coming together just right, say:

- right genetics & right influences in early childhood to produce the right world view and personality
- right set of circumstances early on to connect useful people for capital, or circumstances later to connect them to capital
- right skillset with understanding and being effective with others of widely different backgrounds
- right exposure to the right potential market, and the right luck with with many things (all of which have elements of personally influenceable factors and external non-influencable factors)

It shouldn't be too much of a surprise that what works in the first generation doesn't usually last very long. The circumstances are different, everything is different by the time generation #2 or #3 happen.

With the right training, education, and circumstances you can improve the odds. But maybe a generation or two?

There is a saying I've run across a bunch - first generation builds it, second generation spends it, third generation blows it.

In large part because the environment each generation is in has fundamentally different pressures and environments 'by default', and a lot of our personality and approach to things is set in early childhood.

It's also why you see societies with more stable traditions of wealth/nobility/etc focus so much on traditional ways of doing things, acting, etc. is to attempt to keep reinforcing what was necessary for prior success even when it's not obvious for the new generation. Because they do provide necessary coping skills and the like.

Even still, a great many of them lose it all (statistically).
Odd not to see DigitalOcean on this list, given at least when I left (before covid), remote was ~55% of the company and very much a first-class citizen. They certainly are actively hiring at much higher rates than most of the companies on this list.
