I tried skimming through the article to attempt and derive the missing elevator pitch, but I saw them reimplement precisely the system they maligned at the start (push notifications with polling).

Did anyone here understand what their value proposition even is?
I might be wrong but I think Debug.todo was introduced in Elm 0.19. But in any case we were not aware of it at the time and didn’t use it. Btw Debug.todo is amazing and we do use it now sometimes.

Thanks for the feedback!! THE DEVS ARE LISTENING and we made a quick update to (hopefully) make this a bit more obvious :D
I wouldn't follow this advice when it comes to clients or other developers. But I intentionally postpone stuff like this when it comes to pretty much everyone else. I read it, evaluate if it's critical and then I'll either take an action, or postpone it (usually replying I'll deal with it the next morning).

Some people tend to ask as a last resort, others do it before trying literally anything else. Well, at least they used to back when I was failing to prioritize my work. Now some of them can figure out the problem on their own pretty fast, because they were forced to learn and become more understanding of the system.
Storing your money in a high yield savings account or US Treasurys can largely avoid this being a problem, according to historic data.

E.g. https://www.morningstar.com/articles/998988/cash-as-an-infla...

> Cash as an investment--meaning cash that is held in an account--behaves differently. It appreciates in nominal terms, because of compounding. If placed into one-month Treasury bills, and reinvested, three 1933 dollars would now be worth $54. What once could purchase 100 first-class stamps currently buys 98 stamps. Roughly speaking, reinvested cash preserves purchasing power. The reason to hold riskier assets is not to protect against the damage caused by inflation, because reinvested cash does that, but instead to grow one's wealth.
The maintenance service is not checking for updates. It is still Firefox itself that checks for updates, but instead of launching the updater.exe (which triggers the UAC dialog), Firefox will start the maintenance service and tell the service there is a new update. The service will stop Firefox, run the updater to install the new version of Firefox (which does not require a UAC because the service already has elevated permissions), restart Firefox (updated version), and then stop itself. So this is not your typical update service such as Java or Adobe have which continuously runs in the background, but rather an interesting trick to run executables with elevated on-demand of a non-elevated executable.
Realizing this was exactly what I learned when playing around with the C64 SID chip in 1983. Neat!
Why is it my responsibility to provide references when the parent comment provided none?

Everyone knows that Deepmind hires experts in deep learning, as well as subject matter experts. The idea that their success is just because of compute power alone is preposterous.

Even the article that this comment thread is about has extensive speculation about the techniques Deepmind used. There’s clearly a high level of anticipation to read their paper.
Furthermore, his plan didn't fail per-se. I am sure he was aware that he may have to go back to work if life threw him curveballs. It did, so he did. He had some of the best years of his life, he had some bad years. He is still doing financially well. That's as good as most people get working or not.
Stålfarfar translates as "Steel grandfather" where "steel" also has the connotation of sounding like man of steel (Swedish translation of the Superman superhero).

The question then becomes, do states with absolute economic control or criminal groups pose the greater risk to society?

I think history builds a case for the answer pretty well. Even criminal groups can't touch the level of mayhem and death caused by the string of overly powerful human rulers of entire countries. Maybe criminal groups just need to grow to compete. Perhaps they are the same in some cases.
Flix might be this next ML. It is a new programming language with a Hindley-Milner type system notable for having effect polymorphism. It has an otherwise well-rounded design inspired by OCaml (among others).

There is no way for a user to tell the difference, and it's very difficult for experts. So for all intents and purposes telemetry and tracking are the same thing.

I don't really understand this point.

I've found its trivial to just have a unique ID in the message and just check if the ID already exists in a jobs table to avoid double processing.

I pretty much always have some metadata table needed for the job anyway, so its not like I'm building something extra.

> I'd love to see a workflow comparison between emacs, vim (with remote work via neovim's tcp support + neovide) and vscode.

To me, emacs is a great editor with variable quality IDE-like capabilities, highly dependent on workflow.

VScode is sort of the opposite. It's an at best ok editor with a strong suite of IDE capabilities that are mostly consistent.
Seconding this. I perused a few of the threads in question and while there was significant grumbling there wasn't the level of fury usually associated with actual harassments, let alone a physical attack. The harassment-happy lunatics at Kiwi Farms also failed to significantly care about this issue. I will remain highly skeptical until I find non-anecdotal evidence.
It's worth mentioning that this is a myth. Invisible maintenance work on old products can be very impactful if done correctly.
How about just buying the oil and putting it into storage somewhere (maybe just buy oil ships with oil in them).

This will drive up price of oil for everyone which is the most effective way to accelerate the adoption of renewables.

The world spends 6-9bn USD per day on oil (100m barrels at 60-90 USD), maybe we start with spending 1bn per day.

Edit: Fixed calculation.

This was what always turned me off from FIRE stuff, and I’m glad to hear it’s changing. I’ve seen so many friends go down the path of “convince myself it’s okay to be absolutely miserable for 10-15 years so that I can continue to do that forever but without someone paying me to be miserable” and it is extremely sad to watch, and often very hard to convince someone not to do.

> there's a solid contingent of people who get their "news" from Facebook conspiracy groups and use social media to reinforce bad information in their bubbles. Getting to them is proving damn near impossible...

I think it's a bit unfair that the ones that are cautious towards the vaccines are default labeled as "news" from Facebook conspiracy groups. I've joined a couple side effect groups myself to read what other people have been experiencing (and these people CHOSE to get vaccinated, one or both doses!) so they're looking to join support groups. I join support groups for other reasons all the time and I don't consider my own experiences "conspiracy".

For sure there are the fringe groups but just because it's not documented in a clinical trial ran by a giant corporation doesn't mean they aren't true. This goes the same for the metoo movement, it's as if saying what these women are scared of or what they're experiencing aren't real because there isn't "evidence" that it happened (and of course you have the real ones that make up fake stories too).

I personally know 3 people that have and are still experiencing side effects from their shots in Jan through March. 1 went deaf in one year (she's still running through a lot of tests with the doctors to find out why), one continues to have swollen ankles, lymph nodes, brain fog (again, running a lot of tests as well to find alternative cause, nothing so far), and one (local doctor at the emergency hospital)'s alopecia came back.

The first two are now seriously questioning now (months later) why the doctors aren't looking at the possibility that the vaccine may have triggered it. They've instantly ruled it out right away.

My understanding is that you can largely think about crypto in a similar way you think about regular currencies and economics: staking rewards are similar to governments printing money via bonds or whatever, there's an internal inflation rate etc, and the value of a currency relative to the rest of the world is to at least some degree related to its governance (but in the case of crypto, governance is restricted to the health of its own ecosystem only, rather than expanding to all industries like a regular country)

The main difference, to my understanding, is that rewards are kinda like getting paid directly by voting (in many cases, in a "republican" fashion via delegation), whereas with regular currencies, the mechanisms that correlate bond yield to economic activity are too complex and abstract for the average joe to grasp.
Congratulations, clearly a massive achievement.

Reading your post this jumped out at me:

“ Cross-language compiler-accurate code navigation”

The word navigation does a lot of work. Could you say more?
> That's only 24% of your time most weeks, even less on weeks when you have holidays or vacation. What's unsustainable? In fact many people have done it their whole adult lives, which makes it sustainable by definition.

It's significantly more than 50% of the time that's available to me, by the time you factor in the things that i do because of work it's getting to around 70%.

Not that many people have done it their entire lives in the way we do today. Now we have the majority of millennials with 2 people trying to do a 40 hour week along with all of the other things that need to be done. I would argue a 40 hour work week + extras is great if i'm not cooking, cleaning, doing much childcare etc.

If we look back at pre-industrial humans we'll see that the striking thing is quite how much time they spend not doing anything productive.

Installing Yet Another Agent on your cluster/VMS and ensuring they are updated while the SSM agent got an upgrade I believe from python to go it still does a lot more than just provide ssh sessions correct?
Well the version I'm saying is essentially the same as the pop version you have so I don't think it's too complicated. You would just do something like this instead:

def merge_sorted_lists(l1, l2):
sorted_list = []
i = 0
j = 0
while i < len(l1) or j < len(l2):
if i == len(l1):
sorted_list.append(l2[j])
j += 1
continue
if j == len(l2):
sorted_list.append(l1[i])
i += 1
continue
if l1[i] < l2[j]:
sorted_list.append(l1[i])
i += 1
else:
sorted_list.append(l2[j])
j += 1
return sorted_list

I haven't tested that (you probably should before using it), but it looks mostly right and is essentially the same algorithm as yours.
It's actually very useful. Ah is the best way to compare battery capacity.
As a side note: I think the author probably is still getting it wrong on a certain level. He concludes that "[t]he most important cog in the machinery of my personal happiness turned out to be a simple one: Having a wonderful partner." This exemplifies an unhealthy relationship with boundaries and a disposition toward codependency.

To be fair, he also acknowledges that "money doesn’t make you happy. People do. Connections and relationships do. Purpose helps, too." Those are all true. But going so far as to make someone else "the most important cog" is problematic, as the author had a chance to learn. Making someone else responsible for your personal happiness puts an enormous amount of pressure on them, and infidelity is a predictable (though morally wrong) reaction to a relationship of dependency.

The author still doesn't "get it" looking back: his "one regret" is that he "didn’t take [his] partner’s initial unhappiness more seriously." But he describes how seriously he did take it: "I encouraged her to explore her own life and find activities and goals that would help her feel better. I suggested therapy and offered to go with her. I was clear that if she wanted to go back to work I was eager to support her in this. I wanted her to do anything that might help."

He concludes: "my suggestions and support weren’t enough — I never could figure out what she wanted or how I could help." But this is just more of the same problematic dynamic re: boundaries. It wasn't his job to fix his partner or to make her happy any more than it's fair to make the other person responsible for his own happiness.

On the other hand, he's currently "not so much worried about a life without work as I am a life without meaning or purpose or love" and making those "exist in harmony, and without a ton of financial stress." And that's about all any of us can hope for. I hope he stays focused on finding meaning (outside having a particular person feel positively about him!) for the long haul.

Buying oil incentivizes producing more oil
When there's an election or census over some particular figure, there's no "+/-" or "standard deviation".

If the election count is say, 48% for A and 50% for B and 2% other, that's that. You don't have error bars, you don't have student-t tests, you don't have random varaibles, you don't have "confidence intervals". You assume you have the ground truth. You have a precise number assumed to be without error.

Its actually a fundamentally different kind of math than what is typically taught in statistic classes (standard error vs standard deviation. R-values, random variables, etc. etc.)

When it comes to "total population" style information gathering, the questions of reliability are about whether-or-not you in fact, grabbed the total population... and nothing really "mathematical" (such as what are my 95% confidence interval?)

---------

When people say 600,000 died of COVID19 in the USA, there's no error bar, standard deviation, or random variable on that number. It is what it is: the ground truth according to a particular source.

And when you have a 2nd source of information with slightly different numbers (ex: State databases vs US level databases), you have a non-mathematical problem for how to resolve the apparent contradiction.

There's no "metastudy" over other surveys. There's no "resample again", there's no reproducibility. These statistical concepts and tests simply do not apply. If you do in fact decide to conduct a 2nd census, you will find that the numbers will differ in practice (ex: recounting the same set of ballots a 2nd time). But there's no underlying mathematical model for why this happens, as is the case in typical population statistics (student t-test assumes a standard error over a standard deviation of a hypothetical sample, etc. etc.)
What are your thoughts about Gleam lang? Don't you think it covers those conditions?
It's probably company attitude towards agency as well - my time is tracked and recorded against client budgets and tasks. I can't spend an afternoon tinkering if it's not based upon a client's requirement.
The point is we're now at the point of jailing people based on conjecture and projection and statistics instead of them committing an actual crime.

Heat management during fast charging cycles is the reason why you end up with a less dense structure than the theoretical maximum.
I would love to hear your feedback in a more actionable way.
Looks like vapour ware to me:

* "TM" plastered everywhere which is basically meaningless.

* lots of claims but no explanation of how things work (how do you start it with zero outside power?).

* Some of the claims immediately fail (its proliferation proof because the fuel is supplied in one module and users don't open that, except I bet a regime could open the reactor with a blow torch and a some brave manual labourers...)

* nice visuals and website adds to this: someone wrote a whole section on waste heat but no one explains how it turns heat into electricity without a water supply (so no steam turbines?)

* 100 employees but 9 offices, so they're very very international for such a small company.

* they speak in the present/past tense (it is clean, we developed it) but their only project is a proof of concept and they haven't started site clearing yet. That doesn't stop them having a video of a completely different site proportedly showing a completed reactor!? Is the video fake or did they forget to list the only completed prototype?
I need a tv, or radio on.

My thoughts never stop.
I’m no longer with Airbnb / the project, but we did in fact use SQS Standard exclusively for job queueing (I don’t think we ever did explicitly add any support for FIFO). Our SLA was at-least-once (as most job queues are), so this didn’t matter as much. In practice it also doesn’t happen that often.
Yeah, it doesn't get worse than rock bottom.

Same- the Cobattery was great (except for the bulk). I actually never wall-charged my phone and just had several battery packs (relatively inexpensive Samsung packs) that I kept topped off and just swapped out.
I don’t think this is specific to France or the EU. Reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associated_Press_v._Meltwater_.... this kind of thing can happen in the USA, too.

Also, events as I understand them (but I may be mistaken) were:

- google shows headlines, excerpts, sometimes photos and videos in search results

- newspapers want compensation (IMO rightfully. Even if Google brings them more/better visitors than they had before Google did that, there’s no law that forbids companies from making stupid decisions, and it’s their content)

- court orders Google to negotiate about the price for showing content.

- Google removes some French papers completely from search results, stating that would change if they let them show results without payments.

- newspapers see that as misuse of market power (IMO it’s up for debate whether that’s fully true. I don’t know, for example, whether google also said “but we want to show more than headlines, and pay for it” and acted like it)

- court, taking what happened into account fines google, claiming it didn’t try to negotiate in good faith. I don’t know the details, but can think of scenarios where that makes sense.
i've likely asked myself that question many times since the inception of HN
What's you're deal then? You just feel strongly I should take the vaccine?

Where I live, what I do for work has really made no impact on my quality of life, so I don't give a fish about the virus or the vaccine.

It's funny to me that you say you deliberated, then you took it, and now I'm being "unscientific" for deliberating in the same way. But somehow you've made the scientific choice because you felt 6 months was long enough to wait. Not very scientific ?
Clinical trials take long because they are evaluating long term side effects. They didn't deem it unsafe to give to smaller groups of people, in many cases the company withdrew it from consideration because earlier uses were centered on oncology - taking pieces of patients' cancer cells and attempting to get the body to fight them immunologically - and they weren't able to obtain a clinically significant impact. Running a long term clinical trial is an expensive proposition.
