i would generally agree but there were times were i had seriously abstract dreams about implementation details i needed to come up with before going to sleep. these dreams are really hard to describe because they are so abstract but it feels a bit like running the debugger in your head and imagine code execution with some visual feedback. They are very tiring to me as my sleep definitely takes a hit in quality. I try to avoid going directly to sleep after working on something harder that could trigger it.
Distilling to the core concepts is great if you've captured the most essential takeaways, unless you're looking to put the nitty gritty to work as a main occupation. They just become frameworks for lateral thinking and free association.

Tx for explaining! I switched.
Δm is directly proportional to the frequency of the oscillation. (In natural units it is exactly the angular frequency: cos(Δm·t) appears in the decay rate) So indeed Δm=0 means no oscillation. You measure it by essentially counting the number of particle and antiparticle decays as a function of decay-time.
Yes absolutely possible and also precisely the reason we are looking at these particles. The way science works is that we call these "assumptions" laws because we have never seen them broken and if we do it's likely some other assumption is wrong or our measurements are incorrect. But physics is always based on experiments, and if an experiment would show a violation of the law of conservation, and that experiment is repeatable and no one can find a flaw in it, then the law is changed.

And this is not some idle theory based in idealism, it actually happened in a super real way multiple times the most famous one being when we dropped the Newtonian "laws" for special relativity and quantum physics. No one liked it, no one was happy with it, but physics is about what happens in reality, and reality is what dictates what the laws are.

You probably get some downvotes for the UFO thing, but it doesn't really matter. Scientists don't need UFO's to question their assumptions, but they can be fine inspiration regardless.

It's worth researching the demoscene[0] and how demos that looked very complex were made with as few lines of code as possible. Every byte was accounted for and nothing went to waste.

This is a common thing in games and Super Mario even re-used the cloud sprite for the bushes[1]

Now we have to deal with gargantuan Electron apps that hog your PC's resources for housing what essentially is a lightweight webapp.

Yes those are things you can do with containers. I don’t get your point. It’s not like a said containers are only useful for bundling dependencies.

As an aside, I think we’re approaching the concept from two different perspectives. I’m working backwards from a (sub)set of use cases, while you appear to be working forwards from a set of capabilities. I think both approaches have their place.
that would be from then-CEO Neal Patterson,

Patterson is infamous for an email[7] scolding managers for not coming to work before 8 am and leaving before 5 pm, now a prominent example used when discussing email netiquette. On the day that the email was posted to Yahoo!, the company's market cap fell by over 22%[8] from a high of US$1.5 billion.[9]

A nit on the basketball portion of the article:

> Now the game has shifted to 3-point shooters and players who drive to the basket for close shots. How did this happen? Almost every team now has an NBA analytics department in the front office.

This is minimizing the effect of the rules changes in the NBA that have occurred over the past 20 years to restrict defensive players and protect shooters. The basketball of the 2020's is a different game from the basketball of 90's.

Absolutely! Command and Colors for example is a popular contemporary system (for some definition of popular that includes wargaming).

The old school Avalon hill style hex and counter wargames have mostly been replaced by computer games, though. For obvious reasons.

Tabletop miniature wargames are also still going strong, probably more so than board wargaming. Although the historical side of the hobby is definitely aging compared to fantasy/sci-fi themed gaming.
> troff - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troff

... why is troff on a list of terminal editors? It can format text for the terminal, sure - and it's quite versatile, as I discovered playing around with it - but it's as much of an editor as LaTeX or markdown.

That said, if I used to find new editors fascinating - http://www.texteditors.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl - these days I just can't imagine leaving Emacs and my own customizations behind.
I don't know if this is the right place to discuss this, but I found it interesting: there's something different about this submission: it doesn't show up on the submitter's profile exactly. HN has a 'second chance' system[1], this is the first time I notice it in action. I once had a second-chance submission and got an email. What I didn't notice at the time is that it's not just resubmitted, it's pushed and the date is fudged. If you look at the author's submission history, they submitted this actually prior to the submission of the other backup system (Kopia) and both are listed as "1 day ago", whereas this submission (same item ID and with the same number of points) is actually shown as "1 hour ago". I thought the second chance thing would submit it again, this is kind of confusing though I guess it makes sense to keep any comments already submitted. Thought I'd remark upon it since this is the first time I see it (that is, I got that email a while back about my own submission, but didn't notice this technicality).

Edit: or maybe the email I got was an invitation to repost rather than a second chance pool entry. I don't know for sure. Both lists are available at https://news.ycombinator.com/lists

Usually when people criticize UNIX i/o behavior for not being proper what they want is for it to do that thing NT does where processes freeze indefinitely at the first sign of trouble, and you have to pull out the task manager and kill the thing. Nice thing about UNIX is pretty much the only time things get that bad is when you implement sigchld wrong, and the times when we want that behavior, like with linger, we can specify the number of milliseconds it should hang. In fact, NT is so zealous about the process freezing thing that even when it comes to the signals it's required to be able to deliver by the ANSI C standard it will spawn a thread in your program just to do it. Being able to drop connections yolo style without the kernel having strong opinions is pretty important if, for example, your app is getting attacked by a slowloris and you need to shed resources while responding to requests from the main process. That's why proper operating systems are rarely production worthy.

Well you've found an عيب in the dictionary! Currently it uses a single dictionary, Hans Wehr, which doesn't contain that word (I've checked in my physical copy also).

In my backlog is adding additional dictionaries to fill in where Hans Wher is lacking, with next in line Lane's Lexicon. Hans Wehr is a good dictionary for students and contains approximately 90% of the words they will encounter in their first few years of studying. The issue I'm having at the moment is that both dictionaries are structured differently and it requires some manual work to unify their structures.

When searching a verb you can either search the root letters, or any other form even with affixes attached and the stemming algorithms should get the right root word.
This is going straight into my bash_aliases. Thanks!
That would mean that we are (as in our galaxy is) in a very, very special position because we see all distant galaxies moving away from each other with velocities proportional their distance from us.

This is exactly what we would expect if the universe is expanding isotropically but under the "galaxies actually moving away from each other" hypothesis this is only possible if Earth is exactly at the center of a sort of "explosion of galaxies".

A second issue with this theory is that we see objects with redshifts that would mean that if their apparent motion is actually real motion then they would be moving away from us faster than the speed of light. As far as we know this is completely impossible for actual motion but is exactly what we would expect from expansion.

Removing income cap on Social contributions would be enough, or 1% more on the tax rates with current income cap.
This is a fantastic idea. I’ve found that nothing is more annoying than to get through like five minutes of a take when recording a video and then having to redo it because I slipped up. I would love to be able to write a script, be prompted a few sentences at a time and then have it stitched together seamlessly. You need to refine and market this. If you could do this with video you’d kill it.
I’m not sure that size matters. I think what matters is if the company cares about protecting your data and why it’s needed.

I don’t even think it’s difficult to protect the data of your customers.

Sure, being immune to any targeted attack is really hard, but not being an easy prey is just about caring a minimum about your responsibilities and thinking about what should go where.

From my experience, when marketing department enters the game, that’s when it becomes hard because they just don’t care about the data they hold. It’s just random excel files and numbers that they work with.

You are ignoring my answer about how gatherings or protests can impact my own freedom. Any freedom has that potential. I listed some, but here are more:

What if I want to hold a gathering in the same place at the same time? Which gathering gets the space? Why should my freedom to assemble be limited because of your freedom to assemble? That's an issue that getting a permit resolves: simple scheduling of resources.

Maybe the protest is against a business I work for: What about my freedom to go to work without people shouting at me about how awful I am for working there?

Maybe the protest causes extra traffic at a busy time of day. I have a heart attack and die because the extra traffic meant the ambulance couldn't get there on time. My right to life was taken away because of the gathering, but it's an easy issue to resolve by with a permit process to ensure minimal disruptions.

What if the gathering is in the middle of the street because they're protesting building the road further through natural lands? My freedom of free movement is taken away.

I can go on and on about how something as seemingly simple as freedom of assembly has the potential to impact other people's freedom, because freedom is not as simple as you want it to be.

You insist things are black and white but when I point out a complexity, you ignore it except to repeat yourself in different ways. You have not provided any actual justification. You say that a freedom is not a freedom if there are preconditions but never answer the issue of how all laws are preconditions on freedom.

The questions I raise are not philosophical: you cannot rationally make any claims about freedom if you have not thought through these very basic issues. If you have not examined these questions then your opinions are built on air and emotion, not clear thinking and reason.

I'm done here though. Feel free to respond, but I won't reply only to have you repeat yourself and ignore anything that contradicts your wish for things to be black and white.

No. Pair creation is two photons disappearing and turning into particle and antiparicle. And annihilation is turning particle and antiparticle into two photons.

When particle and photon meet the result is particle and photon just moving differently. You probably might think of this as old particle and photon disappearing and new paricle and new photon appearing.
I along with 50ish colleagues use a software that has ole object which can be pasted in PowerPoint. The object contains plots which can be modified for axis and zoom etc. Our reports mostly contain these plots which explain acoustic/vibration events in a car.
Making a complex presentation is a difficult task considering when you paste these they don’t exactly occupy the space you want them to occupy. I made a neat ribbon toolbar using VB.net (vsto addin) that even updates over network path after PowerPoint bootsup. The toolbar let’s you resize an object and place it on the slide in a click. It also ‘activates’ the object at certain zoom level, so that they are look better.

P.s. I’m not comp sci guy so forgive me if im not using the right words here.
This is a little embarrassing, but the tool is actually browser-based, powered by Javascript and PHP. I know that's not the ideal foundation, but those were the skills I had at the time. I do have a copy of it online that I used to demo it for a friend.

Being browser-based is not really a problem for me, because I run it on my local dev server and everything is instant. But over the web it has to upload each wav file to the server, which can be slow depending on bandwidth. It does however indicate when uploads are in progress so you can avoid interrupting it.

One of the ways the tool is unsophisticated is that it's designed for a single user. So anyone with the login can see/hear others' recordings, overwrite them, etc.

Anyway, if you're still interested in seeing it, just email me at: alan at [my HN username] dot com. I can send you the URL, username, and password.
It's beyond my technical ability, but I always wished I was able to create an app where contractors could sign up to build a town "at cost" with everyone contributing their specialty. Each finished town would have an electrician/HVAC/etc for repairs or to other business with.

Maybe that would be something to pivot towards. Start with volunteer work. "Let's clean up the beach 6/10". People could earn karma/upvotes from the others who also contributed that's worthless like here, or to spend on stuff donated.

And I'd call it 4us.

Some day it will happen. :)
> Now this is just a queue service with extra steps running in a relational DB instead of natively as an OS process. You did cite it as just an option but I don't see why this is an attractive option.

Your DB then shares a WAL log with your queue. Meaning a single managed physical replication pipeline for them both. Meaning only one set of leader-election issues to debug, not two. Meaning one canonical way to do geographic high-latency async replication. Meaning disaster recovery brings back a whole-system consistent snapshot state. Etc.

Honestly, if I had my way, every stateful component in the stack would all share a single WAL log. That’s what FoundationDB and the like get you.

> In fact I would argue running a DB (queue or no queue) is just more complex than running a queue service.

Well, yeah, but you usually need a DB. So, if you’re going to be paying the OpEx costs of the DB either way, then you may as well understand it deeply in order to wring the most productive use you can out of each OpEx dollar/man-hour spent.

(I feel the same way about Redis, as it happens: if you need it, and are locking your code into its model anyway, then you may as well take advantage of its more arcane features, like Redis Streams, Lua scripting, etc.)

However, maybe our company is uncommon in how much our service literally is doing fancy complex DB queries that use tons of DB features. We’re a data analytics company. Even the frontend people know arcane SQL here :)

> that ties you in with that library

The difference between what you / apps / abstracting libraries do in Redis, and what they do in an SQL DB, is that in the DB, the shape of everything has to be explained in a vendor-neutral manner: SQL DDL.

Sometimes Redis-based solutions converge on conventional schemas; see e.g. Sidekiq’s informal schema, which several other queuing systems are implemented in terms of. But when they don’t, there’s nothing you can really do — beyond hacking on the libraries involved — to bring them into sync.

In an SQL DB, anything can be adapted into the expected shape of anything else, by defining SQL views. (Heck, in an SQL DB with Redis support, like Postgres with redis_fdw, the Redis data can be adapted into any shape you like using SQL views.)

And that’s further enabled by the fact that the DB had received from the app, through DDL, a schema, that you can examine, manipulate, and refactor; or even synthesize together with other schemas.

> you can't be assured that future versions of your DB would support those features

You can if those features are in the SQL standard. I’ve never heard of a DBMS regressing on its level of SQL standard support.
