>It probably makes sense for tiktok to advertise to people searching for Spotify

It absolutely makes sense to me, OP is describing their experience installing new apps on a new phone. Someone searching up Spotify because they know they want it will be reminded "hey, lots of people are using TikTok on their phones too" or "hey, you had TikTok on your last device, hit that button to install it after Spotify." Especially since you can just hit the install button from the search pane.

That’s tautologically true and, IMO, one of the least-convincing arguments to persuade someone who is on the fence about becoming a parent to make a child.

Contracts, at least in my jurisdiction, can come in all forms and colours. Even purely verbal contracts are valid, in fact. Those are hard to enforce, with nothing written it is always he-said-she-said when it comes to disputes. So I would be surprised if "smart-contracts" couldn't be litigated if push comes to shove. No way avoid the legal system. And that is a good thing.
I think you'll find both sides are aligned on about 60 or 70 percent of things. This is due mostly to them all belonging to the same class and seeking to advance class goals.

Pick a few wedge issues for either side and voila: you have a 'representative' democracy.
I bought a kneeling chair during the pandemic. I've used and enjoyed them in the past, so I already knew what I was getting into. They are pretty hard to adjust to, and IMO one ought not stay on one for several hours at a time, but after several months of using it I feel like my posture is dramatically improved from my past slouchiness.

Courts remain the legal authority, you cannot trade on for other unless provided by law (as in statute), and then it is back again to the courts to interpret. What did both parties really agree to? IANAL, but intentions and assumptions of the parties can matter - for example, quite a few things you cannot waive in some places, irrespective of what you agree or not.

Couldn't it cause them to vote for different republican candidates? I have a sense that these one-party states must have some internal division within that party, don't they? It seems to be the natural way of humans to always subdivide their homogeneous beliefs and create disagreement.
Agreed. The author should change it to "write complex code".

Gonna have to disagree, I thought Notion's free-for-a-certain-number-of-blocks pricing was great. It let you try the platform without limits on functionality or limits on time. If you signed up for an account but then forgot about it and came back 3 months later it wouldn't be expired like a one month free trial would be. I think it makes a lot of sense for any platform based around content creation.
I can't tell you how many times I've been immediately labeled as child hating because I don't want kids.

We are always more than willing to have our friends bring their kids over - they keep the dog distracted :) - or bring them on hikes, etc. with us. I have also been volunteering at the local ice arenas teaching youth hockey and learn to skate programs and it's something I look forward to doing for a long time as it brings me happiness. The idea that I embody r/childfree because I don't want kids of my own is wild to me.

There is, for sure, a cult-like approach from both extremes.
Taxing wealth is "wrong" because you already paid taxes when you earned that wealth. So yes, you own it already and you already paid the taxes for it. + you would get "fined" for saving money if your wealth grows because you save. Obviously people dont want to pay more taxes because they spend less.

But this all has absolutely nothing to do with the parent post. It was about short-term/long-term and the assumption that people wont vote for long-term "benefits" if it has short-term disadvantages.
Sure you can. Just ban the concept of provability from your math language (or some elements that lead to it). Same way like they banned weird kinds of sets and started talking about set families instead of sets of sets.

If you declare that set being its own element is nonsensical statement you no longer have a paradox with set of sets that are not their own elements.

Base assumption of math is that correctly constructed mathematical statement is not nonsensical. It must be true or false or not determined by current set of axioms. And I think that assumption of sensibility of any math statement leads to paradoxes.

Wow this list is super useful. Thanks for sharing.
VentScape is a large, anonymous, chat room where all messages fade away and disappear after a few seconds, an idea born out of my deepest loneliness during the height of the pandemic.

The anonymity, ephemerality, and other features work together to provide the quickest, easiest way to have fun conversations online — the kind of social interaction I personally wished I had more of throughout the many lonely months of 2020.

Originally imagined as a minimalistic space to vent anonymously and see others doing the same in real-time (something I personally wanted, believed had psychological benefits, and was disappointed didn't already exist), after the site got posted on HN and Reddit (links: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25923301 and https://www.reddit.com/r/InternetIsBeautiful/comments/l5h3zz...) I slowly realized that the real magic was oftentimes in the fun, spontaneous conversations people would have on it. I then began rehashing the idea and working on a new and refined version in React Native with a friend.

This new React Native version of VentScape is now in a good spot and is ready to beta test on iOS with TestFlight, which is what I'm here today to Show HN. I'd love to hear any feedback you may have on the app, or to discuss anything about the engineering or the idea itself (whether that be its philosophy, psychology, or anything else). Thank you so much, and cheers.
Easy, it’ll be done by saying this protects the consumer and taxpayer from poor infrastructure and waste, versus having the best in class available for Ohioans.

One way to analyze the two similar function situation is to ask whether a future change in the logic to one would imply that a change should also made to the other.

If so, then by keeping them separate, you introduce the risk that you would forget to update the other. Using a single function and calling it twice, even with different parameters, is a way communicating that it's important that the semantics be tied.

If a change in one wouldn't imply a change in the other, then you really have two separate semantic roles being played that happened to resemble each other in implementation - harmless incidental duplication.

If you are interested in looking more closely at Smalltalk 72, there's a manual available: http://www.textfiles.com/bitsavers/pdf/xerox/alto/Smalltalk7...

I'd recommend checking it out, it's quite different from Smalltalk-76 (which is pretty much "modern" Smalltalk) and has some novel ideas. They may not be good ideas (after all Smalltalk-76 was very different), but they are novel!
My theory is that chairs are like shoes. Everyone fits a chair somewhat differently so it's really hard to find universal good choices.

I can't say I've heard from one child-free couple/individual who regrets being child free. It implies that they have no chance to still do so.

> For the price of a movie ticket and a coke, you can get a dozen hours of entertainment. That seems like a pretty good deal to me.

Or maybe the movie ticket with overpriced coke is just a bad deal?

A lot of it is also pretty relative down to a personal level and preferences: Some people can entertain themselves with a deck of cards, not even worth $1, for a nearly unlimited amount of time.

“Multi One Password” Is Indeed a Real and the Most Secure Password Manager
In 2020, the founder of the almost defunct @TerahashCorp (Twitter), @jmgosney (Twitter), claimed he would crack 10 chars long hashed password generated with "Multi One Password" tool in under 3 minutes, so we decided to give him 1 char long hashed password in order to allow him to crack it in under 1 minute! (1 year has passed and he still didn't crack none of them! This is FANTASTIC and AWESOME!!)

Most HTML pages are generated from a corresponding Markdown file, in which case a "View Source" link is placed in the footer which goes to that Markdown file in git.
My family bought internet from a small ISP nearby who had done the same thing. We paid ~$100/month for WISP access, with ~10% downtime, 500ms of latency (at lowest), and 500kb down. It was a nightmare, and my siblings performance in school started tanking as they couldn't access homework or lectures from home. We eventually switched to Starlink, which has been a 100x improvement, both literally and figuratively.

Please, nobody ever start your own ISP. It absolutely sucks to use your infrastructure.
Our team chose it and I was pretty on the fence because wikis have existed for more than a decade and I had always considered the problem solved.

However, engineers like using it and that is invaluable. I can't explain it, I guess cause it 'feels' 'new.' It is pretty fun to use on a Mac, and the results are aesthetically pleasing. I understand there are some pretty sophisticated things you can do with the API, and we are already talking about tying it to PRs to make release notes.

Pretty promising all-in-all, but I wouldn't have picked it over and established wiki solution.
Not unlike many package repositories (PyPI etc.) and GitHub, the actual code a smart contract is running doesn't necessarily have any connection to what's in some GitHub repo. The only way to know is to look at what's on the actual blockchain.

(If verified source is published, you can see the actual code; else you'd have to decompile the EVM bytecode. But basically 100% of the time, if verified source isn't provided then it's a scam, so it's safe to just ignore things without source. And, of course, even if verified source is published, there's still a high chance any given contract picked out of a bucket will be a scam, but at least you can review the code and spot the backdoor.)
> I think most people would agree that the benefits of Smalltalk the language are inextricable from the runtime environment and GUI.

Most, not all:
https://www.gnu.org/software/smalltalk/manual/html_node/Over...

Although it looks like somewhere along the path with the "new" graphical browser they dropped the tag line "Smalltalk for those who can type".

Rails is a monster, and historically pretty poor ruby code quality INMHO. That said, ruby does indeed miss an "image" concept, but is quite dynamic and object oriented. Some smalltalk patterns would work well with ruby, I think.

There's also (the abandoned?) maglev ruby on top of gemstone/s object db for smalltalk.
It's definitely unhealthy and unsustainable, I agree with you. Doing it for a longer period of time must have some long-term negative effects on one's body.

There's something on the other side, though - when I was in my early 20s I could be obsessed about building things, even if it was just a project for university. When I woke up in the morning I was thinking about the next thing I was going to implement, and I could stay up till late night because I didn't want to stop coding. It wasn't healthy, thankfully it never lasterd very long, but I sometimes miss that feeling of being so passionate about building something, because for whatever reason I don't get that feeling anymore.
I remember this one job, I got assigned to this team because their rockstar left the company and I had similar overlapping talents. His code generally wasn't terrible, but he had this habit of being /way/ too clever for his own good. For instance, we had this 3d mesh file loader (for a game). We wanted to add another file format, since the legacy one we were using was some ancient outdated thing from 3ds max that only one artists could export from their machine, so it was a bottleneck in the pipeline. Anyway, this fricking mesh loading code should have been, if well designed, super easy to update right? Hell no! This guy attempted to use every template meta-programming feature available in C++, so even adding a method to a class would suddenly result in this nightmare cascade of indecipherable template issues.

There's this phase any every developers career, my own included, of "being just smart enough to be dangerous". It's like, you're smart enough to use those kind of features, but not smart enough to realize that just because you can doesn't mean you should.

The worst part though is, when you take it over, the expectation from non-technical people is "well this guy wrote the feature in a weekend, why can't you update the feature in a weekend"? So you end up looking worse in comparison because your predecessor set you up to fail. I would implore anyone writing code that has some empathy: try to setup the people working on your code for success.
Still I wonder if you'd author all non-proprietary packages how many of these violations you'd find. Especially in smaller projects. Don't have any examples ready since I also try to avoid anything but established software, but I'm certain in the past I've had issues like mentioned above, even persisting after removal of the package.
Compared to the regular Firefox, there aren't any extra features (other than features that will reach the regular version in a few weeks, since Dev Edition is an alpha/beta of the next release). It's just a branding thing, a few extras by default, and a separate browser profile (might come in handy too).
Until recently societies could only allow a small number of people to voluntarily not have children because death was so common. A society that could not produce enough children would eventually find itself lacking an adequate labor force to produce food or enough soldiers to defend against invasions. Individual happiness was less than a tertiary concern for most of human history; society needed people to reproduce and cultural expectations developed around that need. Our high-tech, modern world is very different from the historical norm.
Fusion reactors don't create fission products, obviously, but why wouldn't fusion create radioactive waste via neutron activation? Materials exposed to neutron flux, in any kind of device, may be activated into radioactive isotopes.
Yeah I agree with that. Once the contract has executed, enforcement actions can certainly happen in meatspace. But do you not see the difference between:

1. A normal contract (legal or illegal) that requires outside enforcement in the first place to force parties to comply.

2. A smart contract (legal or illegal) that executes itself without outside enforcement and can be overturned later (not literally overturned, but a subsequent transaction can be forced) by meatspace mechanisms
Both Smalltalk and Lisp are still actively, though not widely, used. I think those of us who still use them, and a handful of other languages, just got tired of the language wars and inevitably making the same old arguments vs whatever the language(s) of the moment are. So when we see an article like this bubble up, it's a quick upvote and then move along.
It looks like several of those attempts failed for reasons that had nothing to do with the aircraft itself. A couple were canceled because they were being developed by the USSR, which broke up during the projects. A third was financed by Ukraine, and got cancelled due to budget shortages there. The Boeing and McDonnell Douglas ones were cancelled because oil became cheap enough that the fuel savings from the planes would not be enough to justify development costs.
I had this feeling you describe. It waned, as i got older and more worried about achieving anything at all in life.
But the final push to change my attitude on this one came by reading a post on thelastpsychiatrist.com, with this great quote in it:

> But whatever happens, your future happiness is entirely related to your ability to impose your own limits on your freedom.

> The time has come to not be everything you want to be, but to be one thing you've wanted to be.
I can't say I personally approve of the thought of having children solely so they can provide for your retirement. It strikes me as selfish, frankly.
> People in China do 996 and it works for them.

I’m not sure I’d phrase that so lightly. The 996 work model has been compared to “modern slavery” [0]. I’m not sure it’s comparable to the article either, since 996 isn’t a choice that offers future rewards. Working 18 hours for a short term can be worth it if you’re a (co)founder saving your business. Theoretically he could retire early after making a few million off Notion’s success, and get back those hours lost to work.

For the record, Gödel proposition can be constructed[1] in the same manner that Quines[2] can be constructed. I myself have formalized[3] the first incompleteness theorem in the Coq proof assistant, and many others have as well in various proof assistants.

You can find specific and concrete instance of a Gödel proposition written by Stephen Lee at <http://tachyos.org/godel/Godel_statement.html>. It really is not that large of a proposition. I'm not sure how you can claim that proposition that I can see with my own eyes does not exist.

'My Life Flashed Before My Eyes': A Psychologist Tackles the Near-Death Mystery
Should you adopt Clojure at your company?
True, but it's not a logical paradox. The fact that a system can't prove its own consistency doesn't imply that this system is inconsistent. The fact that Godel's theorems are provable only in such systems also doesn't imply that they are wrong.

From the common sense the whole situation looks paradoxical, indeed. To prove consistency of some theory we have to use some stronger theory, to prove consistency of that theory we need even stronger theory and so on.

Perhaps, the best way to realize why there is no paradox is the following:

Our memory is finite. As well as our thinking. But the total number of true facts about mathematics is infinite. By constructing theories we are trying to compress the infinite number of true facts into some finite form. Godel's theorem says it's impossible. And it looks quite natural from this perspective.
This is a symptom of the problem.

At this point, the only bills we can pass federally are budget reconciliation bills an small token "Juneteenth is a holiday" bills.

Why? Primarily because of the senate filibuster rule. We require that 60+ senators agree on every bill passed because every bill gets filibustered. That doesn't work well when you have

A: A party that coined the phrase "do nothing democrats"

B: A senate minority leader that openly says their job is to stop any legislation from passing.

Compromise is dead at this point, because regardless of the compromises made, the minority party will filibuster.

So the end result is the only bills that get passed are budget reconciliation bills and those try and cram in everything that could possible be thought as "budgetary" into a single bill. Hence, thousands of pages long legislation.

If you want to be mad at giant bills, be mad at the party that filibusters all tiny bills. Go read HR-1 and be mad that THAT bill is being filibustered (make federal voting day a national holiday and extending early voting). Go read any of the small common sense bills that get filibustered simply because they came from the opposing party.

And if you really want to get mad, go read up on the Jan 6. investigation bill that had 24 amendments added by republicans and 6 added by democrats that was ultimately filibustered.

That's where we are at. We've got Democrats bending over backwards to try and appear bipartisan and Republicans who are playing the game of "The best way to make democrats look bad is to filibuster everything".
