It’s really remarkable how a few primes and successive add, rotate, and xor operations can give (seemingly) completely random bit patterns, consistently for different inputs. It’s almost unreasonably effective (referring to sha255 algorithm here although hash algorithms also like Blake and salsa etc).
Is it too late to rename it FarQueue?
ADHD, like a broken arm, can be obvious.
Try Sublime Merge. It’s a git client from the people behind Sublime Text. Native app, works great on Linux.
They don't.

They think if they keep badgering you enough you will eventually cave and say yes.
You don't think it's kinda shitty to people that actually have a disorder, to just assume you have it because you read a book? You don't think it's possible that reading that book could be beneficial for those that don't have ADHD as well?

Thanks, bud.
The risk-adjusted return is just whether the contract gets hacked or not. You get a yield for providing liquidity. Granted that yield might be 4-7%, but it's not risky in the traditional sense of i could 'Lose' a percentage like i could with stocks. I have confidence that uniswap isn't going to get hacked, but do i ever have confidence a stock is only going to go up?
I haven't worked a 5-day week in decades. It was always 5 days (9-12 hours per day. 8 hours? HAH!), and then my "nights and weekends" work.

Since leaving my last job, I've been working seven days a week, but at my pace. Lots of breaks and downtime (naps, even), and I don't mind taking full days, every now and then.

Amazingly, I get more done, in less time, than I ever did before.

In Japan, the traditional salaryman workweek is 6 days, with Saturday being "casual," and sometimes, a "half day" (only 6-8 hours).

We'll have to see how this works out. Lots of cultural hysteresis.
Which reminds me of the Death Valley Germans,discussed many times on HN.

It's Turks all the way down
Can't see that changing in a hurry. It's barely a political given that BLM land in the West would survive as public space given how Americans feel about their federal governments.

Still, there are solid public spaces for camping/recreation in the east if you look. Harder to find, but it's there.
I want to find out what kind of architecture/design humanizes people. Because everywhere I go in Canamerica people have to drive and I agree with you that it makes people worse.
No, i really don't. I suffer with it too, still do, it still impacts my life every day. If you haven't read it, check out that book.
Except that as soon as you make life for women not suck, your country falls below replacement rate almost immediately.

The easiest way to avoid overpopulation is to establish equality for women.
First step was to get it running hosted and see if anyone is interested.

It’s such a huge amount of work to get it to this point I had to stop at some point and say “make it public”.

The original plan was open source only, not hosted so yes likely I’ll open source it at some point if people find it interesting.
That sounds like a special place that didn’t bulldoze the good stuff for a parking lot in the 60s-80s
Is this coming from judging peoples actions or discussion with acquaintances and colleagues, or in discussion with trusted friends who are career scientists?

My understanding is that a lot of problems in science are incentive based, and that would look very similar to someone just not knowing things from the outside.
Ha ha! I did consider “NearQueue”.
I recently watched E.T. by Steven Spielberg, and was shocked at how different life was in the 80s.

The mom left Elliott at home alone, sick with a fever, at the age of 9. She also left the daughter who was 3.5 alone while she went to the supermarket. Their only instructions were "don't get into trouble."

Those would both get you in a lot of trouble in 2021, but I'm not sure I understand why. It's even easier these days to contact your parents, since everyone has cell phones. My son has contacted me via Facebook Messenger through his iPad, so it's not that difficult anymore unlike the 80s. You didn't have a way to contact people except by calling, and if the parent wasn't there sitting by the phone there wasn't even answering machines!

I think people just gave more credit to kids back then and nowadays we just keep them as kids much much longer.
I'm not sure why people are down voting you. They disagree with the law? The law exists. He broke it. If you don't like it, work to change the law. I got a speeding ticket - can I get a bunch of up votes because no one likes to get a speeding ticket?

As an aside, Americans like to think they live in a bubble. Like their actions are independent from everyone else's and my bad decisions don't impact other people. This simply isn't true in a society where we all interact. There are laws preventing banks from loaning money at high interest rates - because it is bad for society. There are HOAs that maintain neighborhoods - because it is good for the neighborhood. We mandate health insurance (sort of). Amd we have laws regulating drugs.

We can disagree with how the laws are enforced - but we should not pretend that other people's actions have no impact on us.
I find this idea compelling:

Remember the npm left-pad disaster? That code had bugs in it. See slide 44: https://www.slideshare.net/Kevlin/good-code-73714882
Sure, and much like any condition of the brain, can be lots of things and openly mischaracterized by people unqualified to make judgements on such things.
> it just seems so weird to have opening hours to the nature.

Mostly only in the areas that you can drive to or that have something that can be destroyed.

Lots of areas in the US are available with a very brief hike and magically they don't seem to have opening hours.

In addition, there are lots of areas in the US that are quite beautiful but aren't under the management of BLM.

For goodness sake, almost the entire upper third of Pennsylvania is forest--as are huge swaths of New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine.
Correct. Get into Arches before sunrise - most people sleep in. Hike trails as everyone is leaving for dinner in town. Last trip, we did Devils Garden out on the primitive trail from about 7-10pm with sunset - barely saw anyone. Both times I've been to Fiery Furnace, I didn't see more than a couple of people.

Some places will inevitably be busy (Delicate Arch at each end of the day) and Windows for sunrise but you don't have to adjust your behaviour much to miss the hordes. Even Windows at sunrise is tolerable as most people arrive after that.
A few years back Gladwell put out a podcast with Rick Rubin. The unlikely duo struck me as interesting so I listened to an episode where they discussed a brand new song by Eminem (which Rubin produced).
I have nothing against Eminem and don’t want to sound like a snob but the way Gladwell gushed over this (super cheesy) Eminem track seriously tainted his reputation for me.
Yeah he lost me in the first sentence.

> what exactly is a man buying into with a relationship with said woman?

What a strange and confused perspective, to pose such a question.
Ask HN: How do you choose podcast to listen? Is there a Goodreads for Podcasts?
Agree and have. It is now a world for the F.....s of the world to buy and sell or buy and kill. I would never give FB a dime after the behavior and false statements of the last several years. Sure the downvotes might be high, well HN has an agenda as well.
> also first, or at least early, and subject to a reinforcing cycle of 'sufficiently good' or 'fixed it enough'

So exactly the solution most project managers are after? /s
Exactly. Make your own schedule, or others will make it for you.
Amazing idea. Building a truly robust and reliable webhooks ‘service’ is harder than it seems. We just finished rebuilding ours and I looked for a service like this before starting but couldn’t find any.
Sure, maybe some tech companies will prefer to do an in-house thing, but I can definitely see the value.

Our POV from when we built ours, if it helps: delivery must be reliable, we need visibility on every delivery attempt (status code, response body and headers), some control in retry logic, must be able to add headers (in our case we add a signature), must be replayable if needed, every attempt must have a unique ID, and must be able to send callbacks as a webhook back to our API.
Good luck and congrats for being accepted at YC.
Seeing elementary kids off on their own in Poland is shocking to me now, even though I was an elementary kid wandering around in the USA 30 years ago. Not sure how the USA took such a bizarre and sad turn.
It shouldn’t be surprising. That’s how you steal customers.

If you are confused as to how the statement "trans women are trans women" could be transphobic, it might help to imagine the question was "do you think black people are people" and the reply was "black people are black people." It's a true statement, and also one that many would call racist as a response to that question. You may not agree that these are equivalent, but that is the position you are arguing against, not morons who don't understand that there are differences.
This is infuriating. Nice job
Pretty neat idea though it appears to have stagnated a couple years back.
Not very convincingly IMO. There’s also the approach taken by [s3path](https://github.com/liormizr/s3path)
This. Basically half of LinkedIn posts these days. "Here's this guy who spent 16 hours a day selling watermelon at a traffic light. I came in and helped him find a job and now he's a CEO of a Fortune 500 company and can feed his 12 kids. #bekind"
It has a flag to add a “Git” column to the output, showing the status of each file in the listing (new/modified/etc.) it also has a `—tree` flag which does exactly what you think it does. This let me remove my old `tree` command and consolidate into one.
I see. Thank you for sharing the video - it's a nice explanation of the technical debt metaphor.
> ...allows us to predict or infer further conclusions. This means we really only care about the practicalities.

Exactly.

What's this called? Post-Popperian? Predictionist? Predictionatarian?

The last 4 years have transmuted me from a Popperian to a predictionist. Due to the futility, I've stopped trying to inform, refute, persuade. Now I only care about the quality and utility of predictions a model can make.

Young Earth Creationism? Cool. What can I do with that bit of wisdom? Nothing? Ok, well, thanks for sharing, I guess.
yeah I found it pretty unpleasant for this reason
Yes, but unless the answer was edited before the link to HN was posted, the user specifically said you should only do it if you _really_ intend to make a request, not just generate a url. It is conceivable you'd want to log the request or something and hence reference the url after the request call. Yeah, it is a bad answer to the question as stated, but it has a logic to it considering what might be the real motivation behind the question.

EDIT: Apparently the answer was edited by another user just recently making the clarification.
Well...without getting into any sort of "you don't actually know what you're struggling with", it's probably best to just say sorry you're struggling. Hopefully you seek actual help. Best of luck.
When someone hits you with a truck-load of mathematical jargon and convoluted experimental setups, most people just end up fatigued and find themselves nodding to conclusions out of fear of looking stupid. And the problem is only amplified by the recent "Science Rocks!" attitude making the rounds in pop culture.
If it's a filter, how does this help? The problem is that we don't have enough light to activate the receptors not that we have too much light interfering.

I was hoping to see some sort of atomic-scale structure that shifted the frequencies of a tiny amount of infrared light just enough for our visual system to pick it up.
Right on, congrats on getting it there, I do know how hard that is.
No, but let's not forget that much of statistics was originally invented to provide a rigorous underpinning for eugenics. Pearson, who invented many of the most commonly used statistical results, was a prominent eugenicist and contributed greatly to its ideas.
Many popular US National Parks do not have open and closed hours. Closed hours are an exception not the rule and arise from unique conditions. Petrified Forest for example is closed at night to prevent illegal collection of its artifacts and rocks.

Parks such as Arches and Canyon Lands mentioned in the article turn away visitors when their limited infrastructure reaches capacity. And their infrastructure is deliberately limited to protect their natural and cultural resources.

Generally, a good strategy is visit before 10am and after 5pm during peak season. The crowds come after breakfast and leave for dinner.

Most American public land is not in National Parks even though the US park system is utterly vast. National Forests, National Monuments, National Grasslands, National Recreation Areas, and other public lands tend to be open access all the time.

The US doesn’t have freedom to roam because it is not really needed in most places. Texas is the exception due to having so little public land.
For what it's worth. I am objectively a logical guy (many degrees in science, solid career in tech, rational)

But the latest game changer in my life including my ability to succeed, has been religious in nature.

It's hard to describe to someone who hasn't felt this but it went something like this - once you accept that everything that exists is the purposeful creation of G-d, including you exactly as you are and your circumstance exactly as it is, it changed my perspective.

Normally, my approach to situations has been one of anxiety - how do I steer this ship to good waters, how do I become someone who is capable of that, etc. I surely achieved a lot but also faces a lot of self doubt, procrastinated etc.

Now, it's "easier." I recognize that G-d has blessed me to know who I am and what I am like, as well as plenty of opportunities to hone those things. And the roles I am in require just that from me. So all o need to do is go where I know I need to be and be me in those situations. Don't worry about my ability to see how the thing works out, just know that I am where I am intentionally and I am meant to be there.

This has reduced my anxiety and procrastination a lot. And lest this sound hippy dippy, what I actually do for a living is steer large organizations, drive clarity, hold people empowered but accountable. I just do it now with more ease. Thank G-d.

Sounds awesome, thanks for sharing. Reminded me of this short story by James Joyce called The Encounter [0], (minus the creepy guy). I never did anything like that, and I grew up in the US in the 90s. Typical suburban upbringing, nowhere in particular to go without a car. Were you in the US?

When trading between EU countries, although you have to calculate and charge VAT based on the location of your consumer customers, if your business only does a small amount[1] of goods trade with various EU countries, or if it's supplying services[2], or if it's supplying online services[3], or if it's supplying goods or services to other businesses[4], it isn't necessary to have a company presence in each individual country.

So for businesses expanding into new EU countries it's not as onerous as needing a local presence would be.

(Disclaimer: I'm not an accountant and may be wrong. I'll take it on the chin if so. This is just my understanding, having needed to look this stuff up occasionally.)

In our neighborhood we have folks screaming in the street, repeat offenders flashing girl scouts, others sleeping on the sidewalk, and/or uber sketchy camper vans and tents parked on the way to school.

I don’t believe in helicopter parenting but this is where we live.
But you are trespassing when hiking there, right? Unless you ask the land owner for permission in advance.
Thank you! Best of luck to you too!
Would you buy one for $599?

That would be about the minimum price for the iMac without all the computer inside, just display, speaker, some USB4 plus Apple's usual hardware margin.

It is only one tenth the price of Pro XDR, but it is still really expensive for a Consumer Display. And the lesson from HomePod ( they are still selling stocks made in 2018 ), the market may be smaller than we like.

Edit: Although I think the HomePod failure was partly because Apple. HomePod Should have a pair option by default instead of targeting Smart option. i.e It should have been a really great Speaker Pair with Smart features, rather than selling it a Smart Assistant with really good sound quality.

It's not that useful in practice though, for many fields a bit more ethics is a much more pressing issue.
And many national parks have reasonable rules for backcountry camping - the rules themselves encourage you to get out of sight. It's restrictive at Zion, but I've camped in the backcountry at Joshua Tree a couple of times, at Arches, Canyonlands, etc. You leave the trail and won't necessarily see anyone until you return.
I encourage you to nickname it Tony.
> I was hoping to see some sort of atomic-scale structure that shifted the frequencies of a tiny amount of infrared light just enough for our visual system to pick it up.

That's almost what it says it does. I think you took the word filter too literally.

> "Our technology is able to transform infrared light, normally invisible to the human eye, and turn this into images people can clearly see—even at distance.

It sounds like it might display the image on a thin screen rather than shift the light into the visible spectrum, but it was light on details.
Yeah, I own Hades - great game.

And agreed they do interesting things with the narrator. It didn't hit home for me quite the same way that Bastion did, but I appreciate that they're constantly trying out new things.

I hope everyone else sees the irony here - this whole article is an ad. It's "content marketing" and it's just as bad as all those other crappy ads. Actually probably worse cause it takes up so much of your time before you realize what it is.

As for the content, it's another great example of "The old web is dead" trope.

There's tons of fantastic advertising designs - more in volume than ever before! [1]

But there's also 10000x more crappy ads than there were before. Previous years crappy ads were all just walls of text

I'd bet the ratio of good design to bad/no design in advertising is probably about the same as always.

> Moreover, Mars would probably be utterly dependent on earth for multiple generations.

Probably not. The reason Mars colonization is difficult is because they have to be self reliant. It isn't like expanding in the past where people could live off the land or barter or steal from the native peoples. There are no natives on Mars. There is no native vegetation nor is the land adequate for farming/cultivating.

In the past colonies could rely on these things and exploit them. Mars is very different. If you aren't self sufficient on Mars you will die. Period. Astronauts visiting Mars, just visiting, will have to figure this out too because they can't just land and come back. They have to wait a full year for the planets to realign (this is also why it is difficult to subjugate Mars because it isn't just about the travel time, it is about the orbits being aligned plus the travel time).
These are the standard mechanics of “the swamp”
Dunno, I suspect that most folks wouldn't after a weekend remember more than "It was mostly purple".

Seems like you need something like a small cartoon with variables like: 1-8 characters, 16 skies (moon, sun, storm, windy, snowing, hail, etc), 32 scenes (playground, beach, office, home, yard, forest, ski slope ...), species of each character, emotional state, etc.

Then people would remember things like 4 characters, it was snowing, and a mad cat was talking to a sad dog and 2 kids dancing on a mountain top.
I think David Bowie is in that league. Even into the 2000’s was still pushing himself and I love his final album.
I think Beastie Boys, too. Their last album, they were still looking for new sounds.
Besides the content of the leak, it’s interesting to think about the mechanics thereof. If I recall correctly, Zoom calls are fingerprinted ultra-sonically — I wonder if this poses a meaningful challenge when leaking a recording to the press, or if the fingerprinting can be easily defeated.

> But that's not the primary function right? In other words, once the pig is fat enough to eat, it's slaughtered. This is as opposed to something like a chicken where it's deliberately kept around even when it's ready to be eaten.

Nobody said anything about it being their primary function! As the original article mentioned, most chickens weren't kept for meat purposes until the 20th century. We're talking about what domesticated animals are "meant" to do; the answer to that is a multiplicity (with perhaps one "primary").

> Are those the same breed?

There are lots of different breeds of cattle, but yes: the word "ox" specifically refers to any male cattle breed that's been neutered. The distinction between "beef cattle" and "dairy cattle" is a modern one (with modern breeds), contemporaneous with industrialized production of both dairy and meat.

"ability to get stuff done as an organization - ie benefit from everyone's insight, have things properly stress-tested and socialized, planning company-wide programs, etc."

Unless they're running a good ol boys network, I really dont see that as a valid concern. They certainly dont care about us lower people's insight and the important people socialize things virtually.
