My relationship with horror, I associate with my childhood asthma. We did not have drug coverage so I did not have inhalers so from 4 I'd be up all night (1970s) watching TV. Horror movies were the only thing that distracted me, filled me with adrenaline, to unspiral my attacks. I was very allergic to cats; my stepfather's coke buddy had two Persian cats. The strangers who took me fomented in me hope for people in a way that I never would have had given my upbringing. Also, my mother was Lacanian child psych major and raised me without a Big Other etc. Told me, when I asked about church weddings on TV soap operas, what is it and she told me that it was just a silly TV thing. I believed this until I was fairly old. Cities - for example Toronto where I lived for 20 years - were hard to make friends in. At the same time, if you have always been urban, rural areas can be hard to parse socially. I really appreciate the non-judgment on horror. Thank you.

Someone I know did this with his brothers documents without his brother being involved. He took the documents to the DMV and said he lost his license. Pretty much all they had to go on was basic appearance metrics and questions like where you got your license last time. This was in the 90s so it’s possible it might not be as easy now.

The problem is that management is free to tell you all these beautiful fantasies about work culture during the hiring process. There's absolutely no way for candidates to see if it's true or not.

So in that regard, I disagree. Candidates don't need to "solve" the problem of recruiters completely misrepresenting the workplace.
"Assuming you're not a short-sighted person, how would a poor country like Brazil protect, without make any money out of it, an area bigger than Europe?"

Leaving it alone - like has been done for centuries - might be one way to protect it. We have also read in the media about Bolsonaro encouraging people to burn down the forests as a right, of shooting down the indigenous forest dwellers, and other such horrific things.

Yes, the rich have become rich by removing their own forests, looting their own citizens, and committing genocide-level destruction and looting of other countries and kingdoms. What's "interesting" about them realising this?

What about the rest of us who already know that looting nature is bad? What about the natives (not just the indigenous) who know (or should know) that it's bad? Why should we carry on the practice of looting nature _just_ _because_ the unapologetic rich nations have realised it's bad?
Ah, clever, like this? https://www.ebay.com/itm/372798620272 ($6)

So then how do you attach/enclose this tiny speaker?
I think so too. It'd really be nice to get a search capability that doesn't take my past searching into account. I want an unbiased search, and give me good tools to filter.

Ask HN: Programming language size – does it matter?
Does the size of a programming language matter? By size I refer to the features and keywords that make up the language. It excludes supporting libraries.

Examples of languages of different size (subjective):

- Small languges: Lua, Go, Oberon, V

- Medium-sized languages: Crystal, Julia, Nim, Rust

- Large (or large-ish) languages: Ada, C#, Java, JavaScript, PHP, Python, Ruby

JavaScript, PHP, Python and Ruby were probably once small(ish) in language size but have grown in features over the years and no longer count as small, although you might disagree and consider them medium-sized rather than large.

Pros and cons of small vs larger

- Small languages: you can actually learn or master the whole language. Arguably, you lose the convenience of features found in larger languages. Does that mean more code to achieve the same feature found in a larger language? Also, small doesn't always mean simple. There has been much discussion by developers over Go's supposed simplicity.

- Larger languages: more features arguably make things it easier to tackle problems. However, understanding the full scope or reach of the language can be difficult (but not necessarily required). Does that expansive language scope make it harder to understand large codebases? Or does it make the language more expressive?

What do I think? Overall, I favour smaller languages over larger ones and that 'small' is a better language goal over something larger.

Niklaus Wirth, the creator or Pascal, Modula-2 and Oberon is very much in the small language camp. When he created the Oberon programming language, he purposefully wanted a new language smaller than his previous creation Modula-2. (Modula-2 had a language specification of 45 pages. In contrast, the first version of Oberon had a definition report of just 16 pages).

Wirth's thoughts on the matter:

"...it is hard to design a powerful and reliable system, but even much harder to make it so simple and clear that it can be studied and fully understood. Above everything else, it requires a stern concentration on what is essential, and the will to leave out the rest, all the popular "bells and whistles".

What are your thoughts?

Facebook’s next hardware launch will be its Ray-Ban ‘smart glasses’
Audio is the most important and hardest component of learning a language so apps have a huge advantage over textbooks any day. I really don't think recommending textbooks is at all relevant these days. Graded readers are better for simulating immersion. Apps are better for getting your feet wet. Textbooks can teach grammar but so can apps and really you have to be pretty far along for grammar to be the main stumbling block (over listening, pronunciation, and vocabulary).
From what I recall, in a fairly recent traffic stop in my home state the police officer had access to all of my license information including the photo.

Most do. But one of the worst human beings ever to walk this earth managed to get elected president.

There was once a programmer who was attached to the court of the warlord of Wu. The warlord asked the programmer: "Which is easier to design: an accounting package or an operating system?"

"An operating system," replied the programmer.

The warlord uttered an exclamation of disbelief. "Surely an accounting package is trivial next to the complexity of an operating system," he said.

"Not so," said the programmer, "When designing an accounting package, the programmer operates as a mediator between people having different ideas: how it must operate, how its reports must appear, and how it must conform to the tax laws. By contrast, an operating system is not limited by outside appearances. When designing an operating system, the programmer seeks the simplest harmony between machine and ideas. This is why an operating system is easier to design."

The warlord of Wu nodded and smiled. "That is all good and well, but which is easier to debug?"

The programmer made no reply.

I wouldn't recommend it. Many of us have known for months and months that the company is 100% fraud but the market stays irrational.
I'm a VIM-only dev, spend all my day in a Tmux session, and I use the command-line probably a lot more than average.

The single best improvement to my command-line workflow I've done in the last few years has been switching shells. First I moved from Bash to ZSH, but about 2 years ago I switched again to Fish.

Why I love it:
- history completion searches by default, so I can just type part of a command, hit arrow-up and look through only the relevant results (ZSH also did this, but Fish is better)

- tab completions are shown to you in advance (in light gray in front of your cursor)

- Basic configuration (which is good enough, honestly) can be done via a web browser. Just run "fish_config", and it starts a web server, pops open your browser and any changes you make there are saved to your actual config files. No more looking up syntax.

- aliases (which are called abbreviations) are actually expanded after typing, so the full command appears in your history. You can also edit the full command before running it, if you need.
The analogy is completely fine. "Why does the pineapple on my pizza taste metallic"? "You shouldn't put pineapple on your pizza" if the original bothers you.

> Most of Safari's unimplemented features are drafts pushed by the huge Google Chrome development team at light-speed and only Firefox tries to keep up with that. Microsoft threw the towel and forked Edgium, Opera stopped Presto and also forked, etc.

Exactly. I think it's fair to beat up the Safari team for not implementing actual web standards, but it's not fair to beat them up for not implementing every little whim of Google. The fact the development community is up in arms that Apple isn't following Google's lead shows that Google is the problem, not Apple.
I have tried Duolingo (Premium user), and I can say that it is not an effective app if you're going to learn a language effectively. Instead, it is better if you're going to have a bite-sized time to have some mini quiz or something like that. It is more of memorization, and there's no immersion or anything that makes you feel you're making significant progress

Yes. An excellent book on Market Logic is JP Dupuy Economy and the Future: A Question of Faith. It is philosophy but it is, vs Zizek or Lacan, an easy read. It is a very precise, logical argument that to debate here will end polemics.

There even used to be a driver for Win 3.x that allowed playing digitized sound via the PC speaker as if it was a real soundcard. It was (unsurprisingly) very CPU intensive so not useful for games.
How long have you worked in this position?

I used to be naive and think frontend was just pushing pixels around and messing with html. Now that I like to think I know better.

I think people generally perceive low-level/backend work as more objective, scientific, and rigorous.
>If you don't believe me, UIKit alone exposes I think about half a million public symbols.

That's interesting, do you have a source for this?

For reference the Qt5 framework only has about 25k publicly documented functions and the shared libs expose ~100k symbols.
I reject the author's conclusion. Either this is a non sequiter, or I'm missing a major piece of the puzzle.

How is it that a search giant like Google, with thousands
of brilliant minds, can’t help me find good products to
buy? I think the answer is because it’s not in their best
interest to do so. They like that most consumers will
look at these reviews, click through to Amazon and make
their purchase with little hesitation.

Sorry, but what am I missing here? How does Google benefit from a clueless user thinking this article is reliable, clicking on an affiliate link, and buying a bike at Amazon?

As I understand it, Google derives value from their search engine in the following ways:

1. Directly, via paid ads and product placement.

2. Indirectly, by simply being useful, which means people will enjoy using Google search results, which means they will use them again in the future, which is what allows them to sell ads and gather data on users.

So as far as I can see it's definitely in Google's interest to provide good and useful search results.
old.reddit.com exists, for now. Reddit as a company is actively hostile to users, so they don't consider the new UI broken.
As a general rule, modern-day capitalism produces products based on whether you can market it to somebody with money, not on actual results. For a lot of markets, the revenue is nearly as good and it's much cheaper to make something that doesn't work well, or doesn't work at all.

The most obvious example here is make-money-fast schemes. Those things never work; if they did, they wouldn't be offered for sale to randos. But there are a ton of others.
An actual "best X for 202X" page is extremely useful; the problem is that there are no search signals to distinguish it from a trivially created spam mockery.
It was free to you, but not the system. NICU is very expensive even outside the US, you’re talking several thousand a day. So 6 weeks could run $100,000+ easily.
It's easy to be nice when many eyes are on you.
I experience the same. Frequently run into "Top 10 reviews" that appear to be written without the author having having possessed the product and then link off to Amazon. Time wasters.
Can broot render on a light background? I haven't found an option for that. If it could, I'd use it.
Switzerland has a system that basically works like a beefed up and less hogtied ACA. It's a very heavily regulated private market that would likely not be considered ideal for America, though some have suggested it as an option.
The argument used to be quite frequent that sterilizing prostitutes, “mental defectives”, and criminals was in fact a public health and safety measure, as was aborting the unborn of said individuals against their will - that is the reasoning the US and many European countries used to engage in mandatory sterilization for decades in the twentieth century.

Look up the quote “Three Generations of Imbeciles is enough”, if you want to see where public health over individual autonomy lands us.
Also, if you don't buy the TV, you will die.
AFAICT, Universe healthcare is akin to a single monopolist insurer who bases the premium on your income, not your medical profile. (Plus the hospitals and pharma industry self-organizes into a cartel) I don't understand how anyone rational can agree that's fair.
I wonder what sort of insights could be gathered from a large matrix of odor samples and preferences. Sounds like an almost perfect data set (nodes and edge weights) for some interesting research.

This has existed for at least two years: https://www.duolingo.com/stories

Yes, it does not cover every language but the intent is to address that ( perceived ) complaint.

I disagree that an actual coursebook is more helpful.

I used Duo for 6 months prior to moving to a Germany. It gave me an incredible confidence boost to be able to at least understand what was going on around me.

After living in Berlin for 6 months I did a course and I was far ahead of others who had taken formal courses before.

It has been 2 years since I left Germany, I still do my Duo daily and have continued doing German courses.

It has helped maintain my minimal ability.

> it also likely depends on person

Indeed. My partner at the time did the same as me and Duo did not work for her at all.
What a great write-up. A huge amount of tricky concepts in a single project. This seems like it could be the capstone project for an advanced microcontrollers course.

And, as someone who wants to program in more embedded systems, it tells me how high the cliffs are ahead of me...

I do not know if this is relevant to this discussion, but amazon search results in amazon.com are really bad. And they are just supposed to give me product details from the key words I give.

I have to do a google search to get the relevant search result for an amazon product page.
I think that passes the smell test. They're at the same order of magnitude and UIKit includes a ton of optional functionality that is situationally used where Qt would likely pull in a 3rd party lib.
40 hours of flashcards and practice can cover maybe 90% of your typical tourist conversations for many languages. Where are you from? What is your name? What do you do? How much does it cost? Can you give me a discount?
They have a reputation for not motivating their best people to maintain and improve existing products. Maybe search is affected.

Also, it's a huge company. Maybe there are internal structures that when you work hard to advance your career within the company it doesn't align with advancing the overall company.
> I have found that English is a bit weird in that you need obsessively high absorption of like, culture, to execute well, so it’s easier to spot non-native speakers.

This applies to every language out there, English is certainly not an exception in this aspect.
At that point how is IPv4+Port any different from IPv6?
It's possible in Chrome and Firefox (and I assume other browsers, though can't say for sure) to add search shortcuts for other websites. If I know I want the wikipedia link, rather than searching google for the thing, I type "wp <thing>", and it takes me either directly to the wikipedia page, or to the search results. I think the default is the domain followed by a space, so "wikipedia.org <thing>", but that can be changed.
Are those sites generated by bots now? They always seem to just be the top x results if you search on Amazon directly.
This is exactly what these people can tell to you too, that you `ignore substantial and overwhelming evidence` - making statements like this does not help to solve the issue.
I work around this problem by running multiple Discord clients on different channels:

I guess my concern is that I'd like the data to be encrypted at rsync.net, which means I'd need to use raw ZFS send. Would it be possible to mount/browse those raw datasets remotely to verify my backups? Or would I need to recv it all back to be able to test them?

Isn't the better analogy that, "If I take aspirin with water for a hangover it works but if I take it with whiskey it makes the hangover worse. Why doesn't aspirin work with whiskey?"

I would definitely ask them why they think they need to take aspirin with whiskey for their hangover.
We have loads of bugs. I just think the insect hotels are a gimmick here. If it wasn't a spider in there, it would be an earwig, and they're already everywhere. Bees and heat are probably my issues in the garden - lack of pollinators and dried stamen. Some vegetables have gone from trivial to grow, to can't fruit properly at all, in the space of 2-3 years.

I filmed the other month in a garden that was absolutely flooded with bees. I'm working on copying some of the flowering plants they had. Saw a blue-banded bee there for the first time in my life: https://bit.ly/3i7kgiy
Standard expected response. Which is why I said unreasonable risk. Not zero risk. To test this hypothesis, take a car and drive it around for an hour. If someone doesn't ram into you, congratulations licensing works. Otoh drive around with a bunch of 13 year olds at the wheel. Experience is going to be very different.
But I thought that it was useful for google - who could find two caches with same content, one of which was 2018 one of which 2020 and both say "this is canonical". At that point the 2018 version is real and the other rejected.

Then again, you could just do it with publication dates ...
Why do we do nothing about climate change? We cannot. Why this deadlock? We live by Market Logic, which has no bearing on reality but is our symbolic reality because everyone acts as tho it is true, chasing admiration while simultaneously remaining completely blind to the entire process.
