Straw man. I said nothing about insurance.

In my examples this was a person who had a pre-existing dentist who already accepted their insurance - it was literally just the effort to go they couldn’t muster.

The $4 heart medicine was not insurance related. It was already in their medicine cabinet, they just couldn’t muster the energy to set a reminder to take it (or even take it if their spouse reminded them).

And the last one is purely the trade off between Netflix and a walk.
I used to think like this, but I've come to realize it's highly dependent on what your dream is.

For some things it's just not possible (or at least way harder than following your dreams in the first place)... the kind of things that require being part of something bigger and having a certain reputation and seniority among your peers. E.g. flying fighter jets or do underwater welding after a career in investment banking, or trying to enter a decade later an industry that was at its infancy in the first place.

There are lots of dreams (probably the majority of them) for which I fully agree with you though.
> I should think about what I am good at and what makes me happy at least 80% of the time.

Reminds me of the advice that the ideal situation is to find something that you love, that you are good at, that you can get paid for, and that the world needs.

I’m currently “following my dream” because with enough work I hope it will satisfy the first three, and I’ve (selfishly?) decided that I should prioritise doing what I love over doing something the world needs.
So maybe don't use the tech yet in such high-stakes situations. In my personal life, an automated translation error is very unlikely to cause a serious problem, while an automated driving error could kill me.

The petrodollar depends on it. When we went off the gold standard we "backed" our currency by enforcing that all oil sales be done in USD. This created global demand for dollars and allowed us to maintain our position as the primary reserve currency.

I don't know the history super well but I would speculate that either Iran wanted to sell oil in another currency, or the other oil exporting countries we got in bed with (OPEC) didn't like Iran, or another one of our allies (Israel) didn't like Iran.
My expectation is that the total compensation i receive from any employer is limited to salary per paycheck, health benefits, maybe retirement matching, and that is it, startup or no.
An approach to how go about it is to include a replication package with the paper, including the dataset... This should be regarded as standard practice today, as sharing something was never easier. However, adding a replication package is still done by the minority of researchers...
Follow your dream is actually terrible advice because dreams change over time. It leads to people overcommitting to their current self in a fairly destructive way. It essentially maximizes career happiness at the expense of all other life goals.

Figure out your life goals. Find jobs that meet them where you would be happy (or at least not unhappy). Pick from among those to maximize your life goals and happiness is a much better algorithm.
Nice to know it is still around.
It is always bizarre to me that people think of international relations as a sphere in which normal morality operates or should operate. The US does what it thinks is in its strategic interests within the constraints of its power. Iran does the same.

Whether one side or the other has in the past acted immorally is irrelevant. You don't win the argument by saying "America has done bad things too", as if that should persuade it to change its behavior. It's a category error; nothing but ineffectual emotive fluff. You'd have more traction arguing that sanctions are, in fact, not in America's long term best interests.

My question about how one would ever go about developing drugs with "that perspective" is with regard to your statement that "We don’t have the ability to measure health yet." If you don't believe we can identify the difference between health and disease, how would you trust any process that is required for drug development?

Getting to your assertions about cholesterol, there is a chasm between "dietary recommendations for cholesterol" and "genetic and therapeutic modification of lipoproteins."

Re: dietary recommendations, which seems to be what you are referring to, I think that the evidence for or against specific dietary recommendations for many types of nutrient intake is hardly compelling. But it's also not an area of my expertise.

Re: therapeutic reduction of cholesterol, the results over decades are totally unambiguous: reducing LDL-cholesterol via statins and PCSK9 inhibition reduces cardiovascular disease and prolongs life. And those benefits are also conferred to people who have lower cholesterol throughout their life due to genetics.

>This is not a solution at all. Post says this only works with lid closed, but most MPB16's will achieve reduction from 20W to 8-9W just by closing the lid, with no settings changes needed.

Of course, because you can dissipate enough heat with the lid closed.

>That being said, 8-9W with closed lid is still high. Consumption for second monitor when it's idle shouldn't be more than 1W.

I am not about that, because laptop displays draw more power than 1W most of the time. (I'm aware of those low power displays that Lenovo utilizes.)

And there are a couple of factors that I've forgotten.

The bug is in hw, so no, it's not fixed. Specifically, it's caused by internal layout - the chips handling power, especially for the cases with beefier wattage and at higher power draw - also can get quite hot. However, apparently the ones on the left side are much closer to CPU/GPU area on the motherboard than the ones on the right side, and thus "contribute" more to temperature observed on CPU/GPU.

As much as I agree with everything said in this article I wouldn't trade my years at a start up for anything. Both financially and emotionally it was awesome. I didn't get rich, and I worked way too much, but it was awesome. I loved the constant change and chaos. I learned so much, way more than I would've in any other type or work place. I made great friends too. It was as bad as the article, but it was way waaaay better too.
What is your definition of "Legitimate"? Is it just what the US lawmakers define as lawful? In such case, we've witnessed many instances where the US imposes sanctions on various entities with no relevant excuses but to oppress those who disagree with it. One recent example that I can think of is when the US imposed sanctions on members of the ICC [1].

Geez, what a kind thing to say! I appreciate it, glad you enjoyed it :)

Tell that to the people who pay for research and the metrics they use to continue feeding those who perform research.

Ultimately, this is the problem.
The sanctions from the US are not arbitrary, it's for a very specific purpose: to force oil-exporting countries to sell their oil in US dollars only. Think about when Iraq decided to sell their oil in euros back in 2000, they got invaded by the US and then quickly switched back to dollars.

The petrodollar system is why the USD was able to retain status as the international reserve currency even after Bretton Woods: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petrodollar_recycling
> prefer to call it "the actor model", as you seem to do in your comment as well, instead of confusing it with what 99%+ programmers mean when they say "OOP".

You’re totally missing the point. Erlang is more “message passing” than any OOP language I’ve ever used. It honestly just sounds like you’ve never used erlang since you immediately referenced actors.

This is not a good idea because SDL can get fixes down the line to be more compatible with changes in desktops. I have a bunch of very old games on Linux using SDL 1.2 and whenever they bundled their own version pretty much never works, but i can easily fix that by deleting it and letting the game use the system provided one.

And TBH i'd rather games just assume SDL or is available and have it part of the system requirements (they already have other software requirements anyway), perhaps with a tiny launcher that tries to load the library dynamically and if fails it reports a more user friendly error. Most gamers on Linux will have it installed anyway since they'd be either launching from Steam (which bundles it as part of its own runtime) or also have other games installed.

(sadly SDL2 breaking ABI backward compatibility with SDL1 puts a wrench to that idea, which is why personally instead of using SDL2 i just write my own code - e.g. SDL2 fullscreen mode doesn't work in many window managers)
So round about, the answer is a firm "no".
(The hair in the ointment is the performance cost of message passing vs function calls.)

Besides concurrency benefits of the actor model, message passing implicitly supports adaptive behavior. A message is, by definition, interpreted by the receiving actor. You can hot swap in Erlang precisely for this reason.

"The key in making great and growable systems is much more to design how its modules communicate rather than what their internal properties and behaviors should be. Think of the internet - to live, it (a) has to allow many different kinds of ideas and realizations that are beyond any single standard and (b) to allow varying degrees of safe interoperability between these ideas.

"If you focus on just messaging - and realize that a good metasystem can late bind the various 2nd level architectures used in objects - then much of the language-, UI-, and OS based discussions on this thread are really quite moot."

http://wiki.c2.com/?AlanKayOnMessaging

So, it's this 'late binding' business -- the "interstitial" -- that is really interesting, powerful, and conceptually key to Kay's vision of organic systems. And this is basically reducible to one of the most powerful architectural concepts in software: indirection.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_theorem_of_softwar...

Now curious as to which of these two first grasped the beauty of indirection in structures.
This is absolutely ridiculous.

Please, people, do NOT be honest about your conservative or non-woke political positions in this industry. You will absolutely be punished for them by your peers. It is not in any situation ever worth it. Clock in, clock out, take the check, and always always always keep interviewing constantly because they will have no issues firing you arbitrarily.

Work at a large enough company and the woke literally have an entire division of the company (DEI) dedicated to finding reasons not to hire you in the first place, reasons to not promote you, and identifying ways in which your opinions make others feel "unsafe", etc. The entire deck is stacked against you unless you blend in.

"Bring your whole self to work" is bait. It's how they identify friend and foe. Do not fall for it. Pretend to be apolitical if you must. It probably won't work 100%, but giving up plausible deniability is not in your interest.
Besides traditional gambling, there is/was this whole idea of paid "skins" in games (cosmetic enhancements that - thankfully - don't give you any advantage) and there is/was a site where you could gamble with them. Some popular streamers were gambling thousands worth of skins on these sites are were seen winning, while in reality I'm sure the gambling site was actually in on it and was sponsoring the gambling (if not outright skewing the odds in his favour) to entice viewers to do the same (but most likely lose).
At some point, there's not going to be enough budget for both the football coach and the Latin philology professor. We should hire another three layers of housing diversity deans just to be safe.

i’ll take terrible reading experience over poor content any day.
What you describe is absolutely right, it is important to have this kind of communication. If publications were only the means to communicate, that would serve the purpose and won't be a problem. The problem is that they are considered having a second purpose - to create scientific reputation, based on which society allocates funds and prioritizes the research. The original article illustrates how wrong this approach can be, substituting the ability to produce scientific facts with the good story telling.
I'm just done with a 3-hour reading session of an evolutionary psychology book by one of the leading scientists in the field. The book is extremely competently written, and is awash with statistics on almost every page, "70% of men this; 30% of women that ... on and on". And much to my solace, the scientist was super-careful to distinguish studies that were replicable, and those that were not.

Still, reading your comment makes me despair. It plants a nagging doubt in my mind, "how many of these zillion studies cited that are actually replicable?" This doubt remains despite knowing that the scientist is one of the leading experts in the field, and very down-to-earth.

What are the solutions here? A big incentive-shift to reward replication more? Public shaming of misleading studies? Influential conferences giving more air-time for talks about "studies that did not replicate"? I know some of these happen at a smaller-scale[1], but I wonder about the "scaling" aspect (to use a very HN-esque term).

PS: Since I read Behave by Sapolsky — where he says "your prefrontal cortex [which plays critical role in cognition, emotional regulation, and control of impulsive behavior] doesn't come online until you are 24" — I tend to take all studies done on university campuses with students younger than 24 with a good spoon of salt. ;-)

Even among just software developers, I've noticed that personalities differ a lot in this respect. I know a bunch of devs who don't seem to care too much what they're working on, they will churn through at a medium pace regardless. But for me, I'm probably 10x more productive if I work on something I'm passionate about. So I've decided to "follow my dream" in software, it just makes more sense for me.
This has always been the solution, but politically untenable due to actually causing people to sacrifice.

Want less carbon emissions? Tax the source of carbon emissions, I.e. fossil fuels. How much? Keep raising the tax until the consumption levels go down sufficiently.

Same with plastic (although above solution would also prob solve plastics since they come from fossil fuels too).

Bottom line, has and always been, we can’t afford to have this many people living this luxurious of a life (quarter acre lots, single family detached house with 2+ cars, constant AC, $50/hour commercial flights, $0.50 per mile travel costs by car, dialysis for 80+ year olds, etc). Assuming the goal is to leave the environment in the same condition for future generations.

Recycling and reusing is far too little, reduce has been the only solution for a long time.
It means that you are not interested when a politician or a work based group with political ideas (official or unofficial) tries to "recruit" you and join their cause telling you that they are fighting to elevate your rights and status.

You'll simply decline knowing full well that you can elevate yourself just as much (actually way more) solely with your hard work and performance.
Gosh golly, it's as if it was made to be a tool against the petrodollar ...
I did peer review for a number of scientific papers that include code. Almost every time, I was the only reviewer that even look at the code.

In most cases, peer reviewers will just assume that authors claiming the "code is available" means that a) it is reproducible and b) it is actually there.

As a counter example, this recent splashy paper

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41587-021-00907-6

claims the code is available on github, but the github version ( https://github.com/jameswweis/delphi ) contains the actual model only as a Pickle file, and contains no data or featurization.

So clearly, the peer reviewers didn't look at it.
Even if something did not work, you still need a story for it to be readable.

For example, I imagine that archeological work is extremely high impact if excavation efforts led to discovery of ancient city.

Archeology paper would probably be less interesting if the paper said “we dug this area, found nothing”.

If one were to judge those two papers, obviously the discovery paper is higher impact than the negative result.

No it is completely different the analogy doesn’t work. Coding isn’t running.
There are different qualities. Code quality and quality of the functionality.

In R you more packages that do what you expect (mathematically) but the implementation is inelegant and slow. Written by someone who knows exactly what they need and what the package should do, but has difficulty of writing it down.

In python you many well implemented neat packages where the code is well implemented and performs well, but is not exactly doing what user need or skips important features because they are conceptually difficult.
Hey, appreciate the feedback! It's really helpful.

All of them. It's fairly quick for us to add something if it's not already there. We are still in an early stage and quite flexible.

What a shame, that's probably from a template. Removing it and fixing the links.

We provide a CLI that you can run in a pipeline and it will locate tests results and upload them. Would that work for you case ?

It also makes a huge difference if the startup is your primary source of income or not. My wife worked for several startups, all of which failed.

It's perfectly normal for legitimate traffic to accidently DDoS you if you have low specs (or a huge unwieldy site) and get a link somewhere popular like HN.

I run a blog on a small cloud VM. If it made front page of HN all those visitors would DDoS my site "by accident" in no time.

Don't forget, accessing a website the normal way is outbound bandwidth.

Incidentally, I like to use my blog to explain topics that aren't widely understood outside of tech people or domain specific experience.

Maybe I should be a bit more active and explain things like this?
