Are any of you part of book scanner clubs that might have a database of word counts of famous fiction books? I've found several lists online but it's not a wide selection of books - I'd imagine book scanners might have more. I'd be happy to share the database I've cobbled together.
Where do you get that number? 5%? From Belsat tv? I'm not from Belarus but I think you are detached from reality. Go to some village or factory where people drink CHERNILA. They all would support Lukashenko. And for a good reason - many would lose their jobs. Because their factory producing some military electronics for Russian tanks would close after losing access to Russian market.
Ditto .. tree style tabs revolutionised the way i tabulated :)

That said, I wasn't completely happy with how TST sat alongside the default tab bar (and my use of pinned tabs) - thankfully its infinitely customisable so I put together a basic, timed custom style to clean things up a bit (with respect to my personal preferences!): https://gist.github.com/theprojectsomething/6813b2c27611be03...
In a year, yes, with some work and re-tooling it would be possible. But not to cover for a short-term disruption in meat supply.
There is no tab contrast, and very difficult to tell tabs apart.

It seems every UI eventually turns into a featureless sea of white (or black) once enough "modern" "designers" have their way with it.

I seriously do not understand the appeal of "clean" or "sleek", and the ridiculous hiding of everything that's important; the appropriate analogy here is that of a machine shop, where tools and work are everywhere you look --- and a "clean" one with everything put away is a sign of nothing being done.

They do seem like they're in a hurry. For something that is meant to help and apparently put smiles on our faces it does seem like high pressure. Perhaps its less about the smiles then? Maybe not about the helping either.
It’s interesting that your family member is German. When my wife and I lived there it was quite an adjustment from $10 500 ct bottles of ibuprofen to €1 per dose blister packs of 12 that always came with a stern question from the pharmacist, “have you taken this before?”

It seemed like a human rights violation at the time to charge so much for something that is a monthly ritual for women of child-bearing years, but as I’ve paid attention over the years I’ve started to think that they might be on to something.
That sounds great - I need a webcam for my desktop workstation and I’d love to just use my iPhone. Can you share more about your setup? What software are you using on your phone to connect it?
Yeah that could be true, but I too am curious about /u/tonyb's origin story
Now that's insane. My last gold HMO off Kaiser was less than $250 and current PPO is $300 in California.

When I bought insurance for myself it was $320 for a silver HMO off the exchanges. But my understanding is that it would be much cheaper today than back then.
As it happens, I did this in a physics lab just a couple of weeks ago. The basic setup is that if you pass a collimated beam of light through a mask and then focus it with a lens, the focus will contain the 2D Fourier transform of the pattern on the mask. Adding another lens does another Fourier transform getting the original image back (but flipped). By masking appropriate sections of the Fourier transform, you can physically implement various filters — e.g. a low-pass filter becomes a mask letting through only the central portion of the Fourier transform. One I remember trying is that if you take a periodic pattern like a rectangular grid, and then pass the Fourier transform through a thin slit, you can filter out only the horizontal or only the vertical component of the grid. Pretty cool stuff.

I don't see how the pace of understanding is important. It presumes that we are somehow getting closer to the "truth", the absolute nature of reality. That is not how science works. It says nothing of "truth" - that's the realm of religion and philosophy. It builds models that can be tested empirically, refined and sometimes replaced. The acceleration of the last couple hundred years only says that we are getting better at refining the current model to match current testing capabilities, but it doesn't make the model impervious to some bit of information we could discovery that destroys its entire validity. The Catholic church did great a refining their model of reality and making it more internally self-consistent, but it doesn't mean that it's the same thing as the truth. Neither is a particular scientific model, and it is just as prone to being eventually dismantled or replaced.

One pathological example that could overturn our entire understanding of the physical world is finding out that we are in a simulation. You'd think you were "mostly correct" until you are "100% wrong". Not suggesting we are in a simulation, but it's an example that shows that as long as the possibility exists that we can discover something that overturns our current models, there's no way we can say we are "close to the truth". It's pompous and presumptuous.

If Dan Gackle gave a shit about racism on this website he’d ban you; but fortunately for you he’s fine with idiotic white supremacists.

Not trying to argue with Dan. His last interaction with me featured him outright fucking lying to slander me, and then somehow blaming me for his decision to slander. He has zero integrity, and his parents should feel bad for raising a son who helps ensure that the industry’s most racist website stays racist af.
Amphetamine-like drugs are used as pills or capsules, powder, or fluid, and can be ingested orally, smoked, insufflated, or injected intravenously. They cause euphoria but tolerance develops rapidly. Clinically evident effects of the two drugs are nearly indistinguishable, but methamphetamine appears to be a more potent stimulant. Amphetamine and methamphetamine induce euphoria, increased energy, alertness and libido, agitation and anxiety, increased locomotor activity and stereotypical movements, as well as hyperthermia, increased heart rate and blood pressure, vasoconstriction, bronchodilatation, hyperglycemia, and suppress appetite. Psychosis, hyperkinesia, seizures, and coma have been described in emergency patients. Chronic users may develop behavioral disorders, impulsivity, punding (non-goal directed repetitive activities), hallucinations, tremor, choreoathetosis, dystonias, ataxia, and gait disturbances (41–43). Stereotyped involuntary choreoathetotic hyperkinesias are characteristic in arms, neck and head, and usually disappear during sleep, while teeth grinding (bruxism) may occur during day and night. Movement disorders may develop during abuse or abstinence, and though they a usually resolve within few days, they may remain for a long time in some cases, even after the abuse of amphetamines is stopped. Treatment with benzodiazepines or neuroleptics may be of benefit (43–45). Choreiform movements have developed as an adverse effect in the therapeutic setting of amphetamine used in the treatment of ADHD in adult and pediatric patients (46, 47).

This is fantastic. I really like the local-time clock idea. Now that I’ve been enlightened, I think it should be a standard option in all conferencing software.
Thanks for educating me about Scandinavia, I only lived in Sweden for 30 years :) With regards to standard of living, I disagree that you have to be upper class to maintain a typical Swedish standard of living. If you derive "upper class" from the national median salary then yes, but that would put a lot of the California working class in the "upper class" bound as well.
> Why are we allowing large sums in the millions to be transferred around the world without giving law enforcement the ability to intercede?

I agree with the rest of your comment but this strikes me as a strange question. Programmers if anyone should realize that you can't always 100% selectively give "good guys" access to something easily without also opening up potential weaknesses for "bad guys". Especially when it comes to large transfers or other essential information, it has to be secure and private for the participants and the participants only.
They pay more attention to the other number because that's how the English language works. "9th generation" is a descriptive prefix to the actual CPU model name.

I don't get why not a single brand other than Apple gets product names remotely right. Every time a relative asks me for a laptop recommendation and shows me a list of models I have absolutely no clue what to tell them. All the model numbers look like they came from a password generator and the only discernible difference without hours of looking at spec sheets is the price.
Im not sure I follow. Or how you would quantify that. Im sure most could probably quit cold turkey without physical withdrawal if that is what you mean. It takes a lot more than 4-10 drinks/day to be at risk of DT or even tremors.

There are plenty of toxins that we freely ingest daily..Heck water in sufficient amounts is a toxin. Pretty much anything your liver has to process is a toxin in some form (i know thats simplifying it but still....).

It would be easy to argue its not even the most abused or greatest threat to our health. I would argue that would would be sugar, or more specifically HFCS. Thats in literally everything, from crackers to gatorade. It also abused by people ranging from young children, even toddlers to the elderly. And Obesity and related diseases kills at much higher rates. Congestive Hearth Failure alone kills around 500k people a year in the US..

And I would argue etOH isnt really even 2nd place in the list of normalized drugs we abuse readily. Caffeine is probably that one, and there are PLENTY that couldn't quit that cold turkey if they wanted (I am one of them, and have tried multiple times). Its also another one used by both kids and adults.

> I disagree that it'd be safe to assume that the police forfeited ownership so if they claim the device is theirs it makes sense to return the device.

Unless legislated law states otherwise, it is certainly the case at common law that they “failed to manifest their desire to exclude others” and forfeited ownership. This is the basis behind “possession is 9/10th the law”.

Can’t speak for everyone, but 1,2 aren’t operations that I do hundreds of times a day even remotely. Otoh, I can see the difference^ in scrolling highlighted text between my 6600 and 8700 boxes in vim (which is my main tool; tried and ditched vscode for many reasons but speed, which is fine at both boxes). Maybe I could see that if I looked for it, but it’s not of any import.

^ not just slower, vim annoyingly skips scroll events if they arrive too fast. My system is configured for 6-7 lines per WM_SCROLL, and I guess that adds to the problem. As a result I have to scroll slower (at 6600 box) for vim to scroll faster.

On editors in general: I’d like to have an editor as a library for which I could create modes/cli/behaviors myself. I believe that the sharpest tool is the one you sharpened yourself and for basic editing there is notepad2 and alikes. Vscode is much closer to that, but it’s too cumbersome to create/update personal extensions, so dumb vim hacks be it.
No it doesn't. You can still flexible working even if you have a long commute. eg you might work from home 2 days a week. Your employer might allow flexible hours so you can do school duties. Your employer might even offer fewer hours or not mandate overtime.

This isn't a theoretical argument either: I spend more time with the kids and help out with more duties since taking up a job with a 3 hour round trip of a commute than I did when I had a previous job in the same town.

The distance will obviously have an impact on your day, but what matters far more is the employer. Plenty of employers enforce an unhealthy culture of > 40hr weeks. Whereas my current employer is very family focused and offers a lot of incentives to enable parents to balance work and home life.
Cool project! Reminds me of vis [1] which uses structural regular expressions [2] from plan9 and lua lpeg for the syntax highlighting.

Stop spreading this extinction misinformation. Climate change is not expected to cause anything like that for humans. WWII killed 50,000,000 people but then kicked off the most productive period and rapid population growth in all history. To my knowledge, climate change has not been seriously predicted to kill that many people.
He's doing great work for sure!
Nice app. Few questions / comments as someone who dabbles quite a bit w/ GTO play.

What's the nash distance here? Can I assume you are tight enough these results should be the same as piosolver etc?

Any thoughts on supporting cash games (w/ various rake levels, 6max or 9max) or deeper stacks?

Thoughts on lifetime subscriptions?

This is a solid competitor to piosolver etc
>America also has a cultural obsession with self-reliance/liberty/frontier-as-a-virtue which makes "socializing" a bit of a taboo concept, in a weird way.

The "self-reliance/liberty/frontier-as-a-virtue" culture, which is strongly tied to Southern culture, is the culture that is more open about socializing with anyone. It's Northern and West coast US culture where people don't even want to look at each other in the eyes. Southerners will greet strangers and pick up conversations with randoms in a bar. That's taboo in the North.

Your premise is wholesale incorrect.

I've noticed this happening also.

A little while back I posted something about how I found the right wing response to tech censorship funny, given that most sources on the right don't consider it real censorship. I then provided an example. I made no statement of opinion outside of saying I found it funny. The comment itself spent all day flipping between [-2, 2] points. What I found the most odd was that I never even said I agreed with the perspective in the example I cited!

I see the pattern has repeated itself here, how odd.

You don't actually need two arrays to implement your idea. Since the combined size will be constant, just one array with an index indicating the split is enough.

When moving cards from one side to the other a lot of elements will have to be moved around. But for small n it should be much faster than using linked lists. And also relatively easy to implement in C.

The shifting of elements when inserting can be avoided by only swapping two positions. (ABXDEFC instead of ABXCDEF, when inserting X into ABCDEF). But by then you have just reinvented Fisher-Yates.

So the swapping in some of these algoritms is basically an implementation of your idea.
There isn't an endgame "organized" state.

For folks wandering into these woods, fair warning - you cannot take someone else's workflow, apply it to your way of doing things and hope to reap the benefits.

You can, without realizing it, be in an infinite loop, copying others, till you burn out. There is a reason why posts around organizing thoughts, ideas and tasks have been floating around HN for eternity. Best avoided.

Start with what and why. My way is to imagine that a perfect magical tool/workflow already exists to solve my problem, I just haven't found it yet, then imagine all the ways it makes me better, where and how I will use it, why I can't live without it. Now I have a fairly good way of knowing if this is what I want, does it sound possible or if its a fool's errand.

Only then can I look around for tools and other's solutions and try filling the gaps. I stay away from getting too deep into ready products, they either disappoint, are too flexible or are too rigid.

Personally, I have settled on using many tools (index cards, whiteboard, freeplane, plain text, google docs, excel) using each for what they are really good at, where they are good at. I only use the core features, not the frills, not the unique propositions; makes it easy to replace when they change too much are unavailable or something better comes along. I have a hard either "bulk copy-pastable" or scriptable rule, if a tool supports neither, its just tossed out right in the beginning.

Some people I know like it the other way round, everything in one, familiar, productive tool. Didn't work for me.
The most effective step you can take to reduce your carbot footprint is to stop eating beef. http://shrinkthatfootprint.com/food-carbon-footprint-diet

To satisfy our consumption of beef using grass-fed grazing, we'd need surface area of like 2.5x of earth just dedicated to that. Most beef is not grazing, it's kept in intensive farms and being fed factory produced feed, made with lower quality crops, i.e. corn and some processing by-products.

But most meat is not beet, it's chicken and pigs, and they can't digest cellulose - they eat same stuff we do.

So for 95% of meet, the OP is correct, it's is a luxury and a strain on our food system, with a giant carbon footprint.
I'm an emacser, but I disagree. Most editors are awful. IDE editors are generally poor (name it, I've probably tried it).

Large language ecosystems are only good when you don't need them. If they're just gravy, then life is good. If you need a lot of stuff to be moderately productive, that sucks.

LSP is the shining hope here, but you suddenly get into questions about your build environment, and that's another rabbit hole just to get decent completions.

Kratom is a great replacement for alcohol for such use. It has its abuse potential as well, but is zero calorie and hangover-free and doesn't damage your liver. Of course everybody responds differently, but it's been incredibly valuable to me for this need.
My particular use case depends on more than 6 participants, which is why I asked - but I think it may not be a common one.

Thanks for explaining! Hope you're able to get it into public beta soon.

edit: I also realized that "slightly inferior" was denigrating, which wasn't really how I intended it, even if you took it as a compliment. Sorry about that.
Many things are power laws, but many things are not. It's really easy to overfit your intuition here and assume it's all power laws, but that's an overcorrection from everyone previously assuming everything was a normal distribution.

The reality is that some stuff is power laws, some stuff is normal, some stuff is bimodal, etc. The more useful mental exercise is to try to learn what the actual distribution for something is, instead of assuming, and then try to dig in a bit more to figure out what causes might lead to that.

Power laws tend to arise when you have some amount of network effect and an iterative positive feedback loop. That shows up in popularity, wealth, etc. But things like, you know, height, are not a power law distribution.

Alcohol consumption does have some steep curve to that, but it's not clear if it's actually a power law. I assume its driven by both addiction times tolerance. In other words, if you couldn't build up a tolerance to alcohol, I'd expect something like a linear distribution reflecting levels of a addiction. But the more you drink, the higher your tolerance, so the more you need to drink, which leads to something more like quadratic or higher.
This is good too.
