> Listening is easier than speaking only when what you listen to is easy and at a pace you can follow where you can have things repeated.

This is definitely not the case. Yes, listening to difficult audio is really hard to interpret. Your proficiency in listening isn't defined simply by how well you can listen to people in a perfect scenario, but also your capacity to understand the language.

Reading is usually easier than listening because it provides a ton of context clues, a visual indication of what is being said (as in... writing), and essentially no time limit. If you can work out what is going on surrounding unfamiliar words, you can, at least sometimes, figure out through the context of the entire piece of writing what the meaning is. With listening, you are constrained because you are listening at the pace of the speaker, but there's still plenty of advantages that exists to help you interpret the meaning.

With speaking there's none of that. It's entirely dependent on your own mastery and because of this people will almost always speak at lower proficiency than they can read or write. It might not be apparent to you because you're the one doing the speaking, but I can almost guarantee you that your level of proficiency is greater in listening than it is speaking, because you can't convey the same level of complexity in your speech that you can understand from someone speaking it.
"We need to put them everywhere the wind blows if we want to become carbon neutral."

That sounds far from optimal to me. If sea turbines are, say, five times more efficient and legally/socially non-problematic, why not just cover the sea with them as far as possible?
When I go ask questions on Stack Overflow I don't usually go "btw I work for XYZ, we are maintainers of A/B/C and contribute to D/E/F/G/H", no, because it's not relevant. Even though the maintainers of Linux tools very likely use at least one of A-H.

Hi Hacker News,

My co-founder (Guillaume Salles) and I started making an online collaborative video presentation software. But instead of focusing on the core mechanics of the tool, we realized pretty quickly that we were spending a majority of our time figuring out how to handle real‑time collaboration.

A lot of questions had to be answered. What should happen when there are many people concurrently editing the same piece of data? Should all data even be handled the same way? What about people on slow connections? The list goes on.

We tried existing solutions, but none really stacked up for what we were trying to do. That’s when we decided to build our own. Liveblocks was born :)

We'll be around all day to answer any questions you have about Liveblocks — ask us anything!

Thanks,
Steven
You expressly allow that sharing of information when you use that service.

Also anonymizes healthcare data is neigh impossible to reconstruct so I don’t understand your claim.

Do you have any proof?
Kind of tangential, but Paul at Langfocus has a potentially interesting video about his observations of Duolingo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbmXSR_QiP8
I’ve you tried -site:site.com?
I think that still works.
Not necessarily. Many people may generally not want the government mandating or forbidding any kind of procedures, yet still find a compelling argument in public health with a vaccine. That argument doesn’t exist with something like abortion, euthanasia, psychedelics, or even something as benign as wisdom teeth removal.

Not every argument can be properly inverted.

The context I know M4 from is generating `configure` scripts that generate `Makefile`s that generate programs from a single multi-platform source tree. I can only offer my utmost respect to those who master that multi-level complexity (some call it “hell”).
But how is this different from previously? Flu, common cold, various other viruses... all present a similar threat to that from covid and spread as easily. What has changed with covid to create so much additional fear and the subsequent authoritarian responses? Any decent person would just keep away from the office if they were ill. What's changed that now a particular course of action has to be mandated with the threat of job-loss as the alternative?

Seems to me that those who are concerned about unfairness for one group are simply transferring that unfairness to another group.
As in any situation in life there is not a straight answer. There are pros and there cons in your situation.

I understand you are struggling because you are doing many things you are not confident with, this is a stressful and unpleasant sensation. We want to feel challenged in our responsibilities but also we what to be sure we can do i then.

I can understand that having someone senior to guide you and, why not say, to protect you, can bring you this security you need to feel comfortable with what you are doing. And to be sure you are learning things in the right way

On the other hand, in my opinion, in your actual situation you are going to develop an alert8ng mode in your brain. You are going to collect a giant amount of problems that are going to stick in your mind. They will be itching you strongly and when you finally will find the solution, either by your own or, in future situations, with someone senior you will collaborate with, you will be extremely attentive and the knowledge will be writing in your brain like in a rock.

Having someone to guide you will teach you how this person solves this problem, you will think this is the way and will give you small space to develop your own way to do it or at least to understand that there are always other ways.

The most important skill in our profession, i think, it is not too know the solutions to everything, but to develop a powerful problem solving skill

What I would do, and I did, would be to stay on this company for 1~2 years and then move to another team with senior people to mentor you. You will be in a privileged situation to really learn from this people.

PD: your English is good ;)
I agree, two famous mathematicians who had severe mental illnesses come to mind, Kurt Gödel and John Nash. In fact there seems to be a link between the two (intelligence and predisposition to mental illnesses), see: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/articles/201707/the-mad-g...
I personally love `rg` as a handy grep replacement, and `jq` as I often have to format/prettyprint JSON.
But Google is not trying to make people live healthier, it doesn't care about that. Google is trying to prevent hazardous working conditions for their employees. All vaccination mandates are about that: they don't care about the vaccinated or unvaccinated person, they care about the risk that person presents for its environment. In that sense the obesity analogy completely fails.
No. Paying for/supporting open projects makes sense for lots of reasons, just "I get to submit tiny questions" isn't usually one of them.
Because "as far as possible" is not enough. Even if you ignore that off shore power is a good bit more expensive to build, there is just not enough room there with current technology. And, by the way, the ocean deserves just as much protection as the mountains. Building offshore wind parks is not exactly good for the local wildlife there either.
I watched the 1 min intro video, but still have no idea what it actually does. Why I should add this to my website. A simple demo video instead of all the marketing might work better?
Having operated infrastructure that predated most modern templating systems, I remember with some amusement m4 based routing config generation that required recursive macros taking many minutes and gb of memory because there is no way to pass by reference or lazy evaluate.
I guess the pendulum swings back and forth. I had a stable but not boring childhood. I think the main positive source was the small Forrest I grew up next to, an endless source of entertainment and adventure.

My kids don’t have this, but our garden is pretty big. I hope they aren’t bored by it. I dream of moving to a place in or near a Forrest with a small lake preferably.

You can't have clear idea of what what the constitution means without knowing what was the terminology and context when it was written.

George Washington and James Madison wrote and promoted patent system extensively outside what is written in the constitution. Examples: Madison Federalist No. 43 etc. President Washington called on Congress to create a patent system in the first the State of the Union address ever. It resulted the Patent Act of 1790.
Of course you made a decision, unless you are an automaton? (ignoring the question of free will here). If the vaccine killed 90% of those who took it, you would of course take it, because "vaccines are just something you do"? No, you evaluated the risk.

And yes, driving a car absolutely is a risk, as is just about everything.
I think it’s similar to how experienced users access consumer support processes. When you call a support line, you might know exactly what you want, and just want to be routed to the process you know you need, but 95% of customers are better served by being put through the “have you tried turning it off and on again” process.

Similarly on Stackoverflow, a majority of users probably are doing it wrong and are helped by the XY-troubleshooting approach.

Experienced users who really do want X end up being collateral damage.

You're completely missing the point of my post(s).

If you're contributing back to the software somehow, you'll have a more direct line to the developers. I've worked around, with and in open source nearly two decades, I've never seen this not be the case for anyone whose contributions weren't insignificant.

If your issue is anything but trivial, you'll be going through channels where it is in fact obvious you have contributed back. Not stack overflow. For this issue it absolutely applies.

If you can prove to me that the original poster/company has significantly contributed to the utility in question, I'll buy you a pizza. Your choice of toppings.
from my perspective, integrals are continuous forms of summations.

so Σ(6;n=1) f(n) becomes ∫(6;x=1) f(x) or ∫(6;1) f(x) dx

The dx term always confused me, especially when it started being used in unfamiliar ways e.g g = (dt+1)/dx - but if you think of it as the step variable/component of a summation term I think it helps.
It was a mixed bag; there was live action scenes aswell.
Is there something similar that is offline? All I'm interested in is just opening up a bookmark without an internet connection and being able to jot down stuff with Markdown support; it being able to save state is even not necessarily required.
> That's why it's better to look at the stats and dig into the system level causes of load issues, as you would with any IT system.

Since you're making an argument from statistics, it would be helpful to provide some numbers for your claims and their provenance.
Not even dumping the problem. Many managers procrastinate by delegating. "I did some work on this" - No, you didn't, you just handed the hot potato to somebody dumb enough to take it.

Notice that the problem usually doesn't get solved by this. On the contrary: These managers "work" on something and the problems multiply, not get less.

Ask everybody who wants you to do work for a spec sheet. The above mentioned people can not do this.

Again what they are really doing is to appear to be working. That is the real goal. If you force them to actually do work (spec sheet), they'll disappear or deliver a hilariously bad one.
> If you want some serious redundancy nothing beats running services anycast with BGP across multiple cloud providers.

Unless they're TCP services. Or stateful UDP services. Then you're in for a world of pain if you try to anycast them.

The list of sensibly anycast services is surprisingly low. Stateless UDP services, essentially, which isn't a big list. Especially if you're the kind of person who's using Vultr's cloud, and not a megacorp.

If you have the resources to develop backend state sync, you're probably still better serviced with a (set of) load balancer(s).
I presumably made the same guess (spiced rice grains mixed with meat/veg), but British people have the cultural context to know what pilau means. They even a section in Tesco (not just a search, an actual section).

From Denmark, I can suggest brændende kærlighed (burning love, which for Danes is mashed potatoes and bacon), dyrlægens natmad (vet's night snack, rye bread with pâté, beef and meat jelly etc), æbleskiver (apple slices, round pancakes with zero apple).

Yes, a single base change can give you a disease, cause intellectual disability or make you never be born.. There are mutations we never see in adults, as they are embryonically lethal.

Generally, you can tell what matters by seeing if it's been under selection - ie the frequency of that version in the population changes more than randomly.

From a climate change perspective we could move nuclear into the renewables category. Then it would be number one.
A 16 month course of 6 to 7 hours per day with a lot of exercise and you didn't learn the language at all?

I don't think Duolingo is a good solution but in your case you had all the opportunity to become fully fluent with that kind of regime, it starts to be your fault.
Mmh, what do you mean with "preserve"...? `cd -` works like a charm for me.

The question wasn't asking for it to be removed, this is wholly the author's decision. Can we not overreact?
In AWS, accounts within an AWS Organization are roughly analogous to projects within GCP. Most organisations running AWS in production will have tens or hundreds of accounts managed within their Organization. Segregating by security groups hasn't been the recommended approach for years, for this reason amongst others.

The accounts and Organization model is a slightly clunkier abstraction than projects, but on the other hand the security boundaries between accounts are harder than those between projects, which has its benefits.
Pfeiffer, Nutrition and Mental illness 1988, p31, the addiction quote:

Having tested twelve hard-core drug addicts and found them to be high in histamine,
we voice the strong opinion that more can be done to correct biochemical imbalance in order to correct the drug addict.
We know that heroin and methadone are both strong histamine releasing agents.
The histadelic person is depressed and compulsive, and has abnormal thinking. There-fore, heroin, methadone, uppers, downers, alcohol, and sugar
all are often craved to compensate for these feelings. The compulsive day-in-day-out drinker of alcohol
is usually found to be histadelic. Moderation must be taught tactfully to these individuals as they slowly but surely improve on the nutritional program

Probably worthwhile linking this as a general disclaimer:

Can you provide a reference to a single viral vector vaccine with widespread usage prior to this year?
I'm surpised this is getting downvoted. The OPs assertion that listening is easier than speaking makes sense in the context he describes, a closed testing environment.
In a more practical setting, as someone who is living in another country and learning the language, it is far easier for me to convey my meaning with limited vocabulary, than to listen and interpret another speaker, and especially a group conversation.

Certainly listening is easier than me speaking at the same proficiency as the other speaker, but in terms of what matters for using the language on a day to day basis, it is the other way around.

Herd immunity would only occur if the vaccine stopped transmission, right?

Sadly, this is not the case. Vaccinated people achieve high viral loads too.
We have three cast iron skillets that see nearly daily use.

You are exactly right on this. Ours get, scrubbed, wiped, soaped, and cleaned as needed but just use and constant reseasoning is all it takes to make them look and cook gorgeously.

Our parents (in particular) are terrified of the damn pans. Of caring for them of using them. They have this trope in their heads that is just a feedback loop… they see them as fragile so they treat them as fragile so they become fragile.

Just cook at home more, preferably bacon. Lots of mechanical things are meant to be used, pans, cars, homes. Letting them sit unused causes more decay
It seems to me that a combination of sed and simple shell scripts would be much better than this. The syntax is really not friendly.

Linear Algebra was another one I had a tough time with until I found the right "teacher."

Gilbert Strang's MIT Open Courseware series to the rescue. He wrote the textbook I was using and was also pretty entertaining. My college professor made the concepts sound terribly complicated, but Strange made them highly approachable and interesting.
A musket is also battle-tested, but it was replaced because it is slow, hard to operate, heavy, and in the end if you tried to continue using one, you lost.

M4 is similar. It's just a macro processor. If you try to make it work on a problem that requires more, it will backfire in uncomfortable ways.
Wow, this is complex... but interesting, thank you :-) I use zsh, too.

No, really, better not. The people who are "captured" by this meme, as you rather condescendingly put it, generally don't trust the vaccine safety statistics, have many valid reasons not to do so, and are also well aware of the statistics around how dangerous COVID is or isn't for themselves. It would take great faith to believe that the institutions are providing reliable data right now in an atmosphere of mass hysteria.

How about, rather than assuming people you disagree with are "captured" by "memes", you sit down, treat them like intelligent adults, listen to them and only then consider what to do?
Well the author decided to remove this joke, so feel free to add it back if its removal upsets you so much.

Thanks for the question (which should be on the top, instead of the climate change deniers).

Politicians are chosen by the citizens. So the question could be rephrased to “how do we make a big portion of the world aware of the seriousness?”.

A web search for “how to convince your opponent” gives some great suggestions:

————————————————————
How to Convince Someone
Ask them to share their thoughts.
Match their type of reasoning -- if they're being emotional, appeal to their emotions; if they're relying on logic, be logical.
Get them to lower their guard with a genuine compliment.
Pose a counter-argument (without making them defensive).
————————————————————

This is quite counter intuitive: I would think that if you would tell the data and scientific method used to obtain the data you would be able to convince anyone, but not so.

Instead you have to open the discussion and have both sides on the table, which leads to ridiculous situations eg: a TV show gives a scientist who builds upon many years of research equal time to speak on some matter as a fancy vlogger with a quirky opinion.

The more noise you make the more you will be noticed. If people aren’t confronted with their actions, they have little chance to change their opinion and behaviour. It is important to be respectful while also making clear that change is needed, by each and everyone.
Oh why oh why did they not call it "The Array Broadcast"?
If you’re already in vim, why not use whatever equivalent to NERDTree is popular? Unless you’re only interested in the structure and names, and not the file contents?

It seems like they even have a neovim plugin, you might consider using it.
Okay, for the specific tool, sure. I tend to view this more as an ecosystem thing, and wouldn't consider someone who contributes elsewhere as someone scorn-worthy "not giving back" even if they haven't touched my specific small piece of software before. We started with

> God forbid you disturb the automatic tests of a company who's using your software without giving you anything in return.

By that measure the reaction to KDE CI asking about this man bug would be the same: "fuck them, what did they ever do for us". Fair?

This of course would be different for the (all-to-common) example of someone barging in and making threats/demands, but that's not the case here. Someone asked a question, nothing more.
I only have a similar observation that generalizes this. How come these old established giga corporations don't diversify/branch into these seemingly profitable niches?

Counterfactually we can say that those who did overextend too much died out. Those who are not focused can rarely do well enough to truly cash in on a market. (Is Samsung a good example of this or a good counter-example? Or simply a strange outlier?)
The title is not misleading, and the golden layer formed is metallic water and not any of the metals used -- where electrons are delocalised/shared between water molecules. They have strong evidence that the layer is indeed metallic water and not something else:

> Experiments at a synchrotron in Berlin confirmed that the gold reflections produced the signatures expected of metallic water.

In my opinion, the ingenious part of the experiment is the following part, and I'm glad that they were lucky enough to find the right conditions:

> The key to avoiding an explosion, Jungwirth says, was to find a window of time in which the diffusion of electrons was faster than the reaction between the water and the metals.

Edit: added "in my opinion".

What this article is missing, since he has done hundreds of reviews, is his opinion on _how_ to re-season. Since I own several cast iron skillets and pots, I end up doing this every now and then, and every search online turns up 20 different ways. Which is "best", who is "right", am I doing this correctly or optimally? Who knows. I really thought the article would shed light on that, other than "use a teaspoon of oil". The search continues...
Heating for one doesn’t just depend on switching energy sources. You also have options like better insulation, building codes, more efficient heat pumps or even moving south.
I really like that approach. Thanks for validating it publicly so I feel less like living an antipattern when hosting data next to code.
It can be useful. I remember asking about a problem I ran into in a convoluted solution and someone suggested I should try a much simpler solution which was actually a better idea.
