> Well, from a quick Google according to government numbers in 1907 there was a 40 – 60% mortality rate in Indian residential schools. Doesn't quite square with your assertion.

That's roughly double the population average. I expect it to be higher due to them lacking immunity, but still that's surprisingly high.

> These schools operated for many decades, far into the 20th century. At which point that death rate becomes even more unreasonable.

Obviously the death rate declined over time.

> And "undernourished kids without immunity are worse off" is not a defense if you are the one not caring for them properly and forcing them to live in such dense groups with inadequate medical care.

Yes and no. The schools obviously had nothing to do with them being undernourished or lacking immunity before entering the system. If they continued being undernourished after that, that's is on the schools and the government. Maintaining poor living conditions is also on them.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to say they're blameless - because there are plenty of reports to the contrary. What I'm trying to say is a couple hundred graves outside a school in the modern era sounds like a crime against humanity. Placed properly in the historical times in which it happened, where child mortality was insanely high, especially among natives, it may well have been not that remarkable. It requires more careful analysis and not the knee jerk emotional reaction that I've been seeing.
it ran for 101 seconds at .... 120,000,000 DEGREES CELCIUS!!

for comparison the sun is 15,000,000 degrees C.

I wonder how they measure a temperature that high.
Well that is one of the categories and is probably what the classified briefing was about but it doesn’t apply to the incidents they weren’t able to explain.
If you are goal-oriented and don't already work out regularly or go to the gym, I would highly recommend it. The physical challenge really requires focus and can clear your head and your body is hardwired to find exercising pleasurable. As a goal-oriented activity, it can be easy to quantitatively track your progress, and the physicality means you can't grind at it everyday - you need rest days. Plus, you'll hopefully feel healthier and get self-confidence from looking better too. I'd recommend starting with simple weight training - adjustable dumbbells are easy to use at home and can work out your arms, abs and legs with simple arm lifts, squats, etc. Or, try cardio - try getting your mile time down, and aim for 5k events.

I honestly think this is a strong biological cheat around depression that is a great jumping off point for many people.
I think it persists across all companies. They need a way to measure performance across their workforce, so they create KPIs or OKRs or whatever.
Of course they can change their opinion. But if you express your opinion by questioning the credibility of others and then change your mind then what should that do to your credibility?
Your core argument has, from my view, morphed from "inflation hurts the poor and downtrodden" to "inflation hurts those with a fixed income".

My questions are:

Why must widows or orphans or anyone have a fixed income?

What is the problem with the government providing subsistence incomes indexed to inflation and letting wealtholders fortunes get inflated away?

How does deflation, which proportionally rewards holders of currency, help those with a fixed income more than inflationary handouts?
Think SIGINT, MASINT, and EW platforms. That's what RF means to me.

Many of them are afraid of a spectrum of things between being thought of as gay to actually being gay, to being afraid that their kids are/will be gay.

It wasn't that long ago that they were claiming that gay marriage and acceptance would cause society to collapse, and believing that God would punish everyone for it. I had a neighbor who claimed that hurricane devastation is God's doing because gay marriage was legalized.
This has been my observation as well. VCs have gotten really good at extracting maximum value (and leaving a bit for the founders since those are the people they are negotiating with). Sometimes even the founders don't realize how their employees are getting diluted because the deals are so complex.

Back in the 90s they weren't as good at it, so everyone made retirement money. But now you're not making retirement money unless you happen to work for the next Facebook or AirBnb. Basically unless the founders are making 10 figure exits, you aren't making much at all.

I don't disagree with that. I am however wondering what is meant by "The older the kid gets the more problematic it all becomes". The grooming of short attention spans seems more of a problem for younger, more malleable brains than it is for kids who are probably a bit more reasonable as they get older.

I remember Alpha in the 90s, it seemed like it was going to be the RISC architecture to finally take on Intel. I was so sad when it fizzled out and I was never able to get my Alpha-based computer(since its heyday was mostly while I was a teenager). Especially since it was the RISC architecture that seemed like Linux was going to work the best on. Eventually I had to settle for Mac OS X and PowerPC as a my accessible RISC Unix work station.

It's actually quite easy. I did just such a thing earlier this week.
Cursor shape is important, because is plays into position/selections semantics.

In some terminal emulators, like Gnome Terminal and others, you can select whether your cursor is a block, "I beam" or underline.

Unfortunately, some editing software doesn't have the semantics adjustment for this.

For instance in Vim, when you make a visual selection from point A to point B, it is inclusive: it assumes that a block cursor is wiping over the selection, so it includes the originating character and terminating character. If you start a selection and do not move the cursor, and copy text, you are copying one character: the one covered by the block cursor.

If the cursor is an I-beam, this makes no sense. The I-beam cursor appears to be between characters. When you start a selection, and do not move it, you want it to be empty, rather than arbitrarily inclusive of the one character to the right of the I-beam. Only the characters that you move over, in either direction, should be included in the selection.

In the TXR Lisp REPL, you can toggle the semantics to match your cursor. If the special variable *listener-sel-inclusive-p* is true, it has endpoint-inclusive semantics (good for block cursors), otherwise exclusive (great with I-beam).
Last time I got a mortgage it turned out I had a couple of dings on my credit record because of unpaid medical bills (totaling a few hundred dollars) that I had missed and that had gone to collections. The banker processing my mortgage application said "It's not a problem. Everybody in America has unpaid medical bills. We ignore those."

I got the mortgage.

There's way too much cynicism here and a lack of insight as to how consumer retail works.

'Privacy invasion' aside there's a lot of obvious benefits to this.

1) Impactful Displays - this will increase sales. In your local coffee shop, going from the static nice pictures, to 'active displays' unambiguously generates more attention.

It's a little bit like having 'nice photo' menus vs 'empty menus' for regular dining. Obviously a nice restaurant doesn't want that - but for everything else, it helps turnover.

2) They can make the 'presentation layer' spiffy without having to worry abut what's underneath. A lot of effort goes into making sure everything looks 'right' on the shelf. Any kind of disorderly shelf gives customers a bad impression.

3) Easy pricing changes. My local 'Drug Mart' they have the 'pricing girl' constantly changing tags. I literally recognize the woman. With the prices on a display, it makes it much easier to manage.

4) Creative possibilities: beyond just displaying 'what's inside' there will be other opportunities. Possibly more detailed product information.

My biggest concern would be frankly the size of those screens and their cost and maintenance - and would the added benefits work out in the metrics. For 3 mid-sized screens at your coffee shop - yes. But for 10-20 large screens (that move, and could be broken) in the back of your grocery store, maybe not.

This is definitely a worthwhile retail experiment.

I suggest we may be seeing a lot more of this in the future.

Maybe not, but it's entirely possible.

It’s the building owners job to insure it’s safe, the local government is simply there as backup. As to sinking, that is not inherently a problem as basically all buildings sink or rise over time, differential sinking on the other hand is a major problem.
So how are they getting so close to naval groups? Aren’t those training missions in part based around detecting enemy ships and aircraft? Wouldn’t failing to detect some nearby vessel launching a surveillance drone be a massive piece of incompetence? How far behind would the navy be if all it takes to get the jump on them is a battery powered drone?

What exactly does "signature management" mean in this context? Cloaking?
The whole point of my book live was that the user could access their files from remote locations. If I remember correctly the app was called WD2go or something similar. No doubt by setting up this service on their box, it opened up the path to the net. WD after some years then shut down that service, leaving the hole open.

Or perhaps only a society rich as rich as the U.S. can begin to question if total economic output is a noble metric that our brightest and ablest minds ought to strive for or be awarded public accolade for.

Perhaps it's only in disfunctional societies, possibly ones who've seen a lot of harm from communistic rhetoric, that they think in simple terms that those making a larger pie are still morally better than those who shrink the pie in the name of equality or morality.

Perhaps that dichotomy isn't as relevant in the U.S., where the pie is already large and many further methods of expanding it don't actually benefit society and the metric of assuming those with a large slice must've also expanded the total size of the societal pie isn't holding up to scrutiny.

My critique of your your critique aside, I agree that I don't personally feel under the thumb of billionaire oligarchs, though they clearly do unduly influence our legislative process to benefit themselves to a higher degree (corruption) than in Northern and Western European nations which we comapre ourselves to in terms of degree of liberty.
Yes, nailed it! Got a PX-S1000 because it's hammer action and I love the minimalist design.

* Getting Things Done by David Allen

This book taught me so much about how to manage my life, and taught me how to review my own systems.

* SICP, On Lisp, and Let over Lambda

It's hard to pick one exactly, because really it's about opening your mind to radically different programming paradigms than what's popular.

Learning lisp well enough gives you confidence to attempt to create new programming languages, through code generation, or even mentally thinking about an API as a language rather than just a series of functions.
One neat thing is, you don't actually need a spinlock if you're using a ringbuffer. You can use atomic increment on a counter to claim a slot, then write to that slot.

It can be between two to three orders of magnitude higher throughput. Equally important, lower latency.

(Throughput tends to be a consequence of low latency, but not always.)

I'm not saying this should be the norm, though. You probably don't need this design. But when you do, e.g. processing millions of stock market messages, there's no substitute.

EDIT: I love hearing about the designs and questions, but it was probably a mistake for me not to be explicit. Sorry! The thing I'm referring to is LMAX Disruptor pattern: https://lmax-exchange.github.io/disruptor/

I learned about it in 2011-ish, and it deeply changed my perspective on high speed designs.

Just sad.

If the language is not doing a great deal of your work for you, then you are not using it right. Doing it right, things flow fast and work right the first time. So, you don't care that it takes 30 seconds to compile, because you coded all afternoon and then compiled and it worked right away, with no debugging needed. After that, coding C feels like a big PITA where you have to tell the compiler everything over and over again, and need to compile every few minutes just not to get too far into the weeds.

Any big system has some objecty bits, but O-O is a technique, not a religion. Same for anything-oriented: functional, data-oriented, what-have-you. Master the tools, don't be mastered by them.

And it's all probably going to happen again with Seagate.

"As of May 15, 2021 the Seagate Access feature of Seagate NAS products will be discontinued. Specifically, the Seagate Access service, Seagate Access through Seagate Sdrive, Seagate Access through Seagate Media App, and Seagate MyNAS will no longer be available after May 15, 2021 at midnight Central European Time. Additionally, customer support for the Seagate Access service will also be discontinued.

The removal of this service means that access to all Seagate NAS devices via the Seagate Access web portal, Seagate Sdrive, Seagate Media App, and Seagate MyNAS will no longer function. However, you will not lose remote access to the files on your Seagate NAS since it can be configured and accessed using the FTP/SFTP service. Similarly, your Seagate NAS will not change for standard network access within the home or office network using common network protocols on macOS and Windows.

Please know that we remain grateful for your purchase of a Seagate NAS and hope you continue to enjoy it despite this change to remote access via Seagate Access, Sdrive, Seagate Media App and MyNAS.

For questions, please contact https://www.seagate.com/contacts/.

Cordially,

I don’t know if it’s the Russian style or the slightly nsfw emoji it packs by default but the program feels sus. Plus, I feel like it’s only hot news recently because of the Trump-follower-exodus. Plus all the gushing in this thread seems a bit over the top. What’s special about it over WhatsApp or heck even WeChat?
I also thought this would be about Wirth's Lola (which I like as a simpler alternative to Verilog or VHDL.)
All social media, be it Tinder or elsewhere, is people's (possibly exaggerated) highlight reels. Don't compare your day-to-day average to that. The only thing worth comparing yourself is past you, to see if you're moving in the right direction. (But stop doing that once you get older :) )
I miss that somewhat too, but settled for adding a saved search for is:unread, which is good enough for when I want to clear out older unread mail.
There's also the unnecessary use of untrusted JavaScript that sites pull in from their ad networks.

A few years ago I tried running without ad or JavaScript blocking at work. That lasted a few weeks until the day I got an JS driven redirect to a porn site from a work related search result. I have no sympathy for the clowns who imposed this garbage on the world.
“Please drink verification can.”

The sad thing is, we engineers are building this dystopia. Maybe even fellow HN readers. Our next JIRA ticket in the queue is to shove another ad onto another previously unmonetized surface. Many of us are actively bringing about this world!

The engineer who built this grocery screen was probably highly compensated for it. The biz guys who just hi-5'ed each other for "crushing it" are too, and the entrepreneur is probably already a millionaire. Everyone's making money by being part of the problem.
I think it's often specifically the fear that condoning homosexuality will somehow undermine your masculinity (or that of your nation or whatever).
Windows seems to be super stupid about cloud syncing, especially when one drive. For some reason, it seems like sync is a blocking action that will freeze the UI.

I would expect to just write it to disk and sync whenever. Instead it seems to take seconds any time it hits “the cloud” and makes me wait. So I bet your screencap tried to transfer your file.

I see this when trying to open files from OneDrive even though I have it local. Word will take seconds to “browse” through online OneDrive directories even though I have them local. So it might take 10 seconds just to pick a folder to save a file.

And of course, afterwards my cpu will peg for minutes doing something.
Developing games can be as frustrating or rewarding as any other product, it depends on how much you like the industry you work on.

I know people that develops music software, they love playing instruments, they love music, and they enjoy their jobs.

Educational software, medical software, everything can be extremely enjoyable if you like the topic.

I made accounting software, and it was really fun to do. In that case was just because I had creative control of the accounting software, and I like how well everything adds up, and how grateful are users when you remove their day-to-day pain-points.

But if you like that, making games is more fun nowadays. It used to be a lot of code for networking, graphic engines, and tooling. More math and low level system coding than actual game development.

And, no, if you like playing games that does not mean that you would like to make them. Even that it helps.
I expected that one, but somehow got the gender wrong. I hate those radio selects!
The 1:100 proportion sounds about right. A way to fix that would be to tie an employee's comp to the founders comp, e.g. the first employee always gets 25% of the founder's payout. I'd be really curious to see how typical founders evade such a proposal.

I'm in your age range and sadly I'm hearing from A LOT of young men that Tinder is really damaging their self esteem (specifically the lack of matches most men get which can feel as bad as getting rejected face to face a thousand times to some men).

It's also disgusting that these apps take advantage of vulnerable young men desperate for connection by up-selling them on an endlessly growing list of paid add-ons that supposedly increase your odds of finding a partner (Boosts, Super Likes, Plus, Super Boost, Plus, Gold, Platinum, it never ends). Unfortunately, society at large does not really care that much about young men's mental health as much, so you won't see the media covering this predatory behavior targeting men.

IMO dating apps are probably doing more harm than good to young men in general, I think you're going to have to find ways to socialize in person. Maybe Meetups (the site/app) but don't just stick to coding stuff, branch out.

Also, I heard Tinder is like 70%+ male. Tinder is just not a good app for average guys.

Actually I know even above average guys (handsome, jacked, top 5-10% income) who don't have as much success as you might think (they can get women, but they have to jump through a lot of hoops just to get a woman who is quite frankly below their level, objectively speaking. To the point they question if it's even worth doing the dancing monkey routine.) They usually find women are far more receptive IRL compared to on the dating apps.

I agree wholeheartedly that Functors and Monads should be thought of as interfaces. And that much of what complicates them is separating the implementation details from the interface details.

However, I can't help but feel that the author and I have some common flaws.

The first being verbosity. I often notice the same thing in my own writing: I will see a well-written paragraph and think "this is good stuff" and then wonder "but what purpose does it serve here?" Stuff like dedicating 5 paragraphs to discussing whether Functor should be a noun (I get the point, but that's a lot of words to make it), or a paragraph with caveats about how Haskell does name resolution.

The second being that we both seem to have fallen victim to the monad tutorial fallacy (https://byorgey.wordpress.com/2009/01/12/abstraction-intuiti...). But I'm not 100% sure about this one. I don't think it's wrong to call monads interfaces in the same way that it's wrong to call them burritos. However, our framework of thinking does seem to align with what that author refers to as fallacious.

Still was a good enough read that I felt the need to comment partway through :)
