This reminds me of my favourite description of academic research, from To the Lighthouse:

"For if thought is like the keyboard of a piano, divided into so many notes, or like the alphabet is ranged in twenty-six letters all in order, then his splendid mind had no sort of difficulty in running over those letters one by one, firmly and accurately, until it had reached, say, the letter Q. He reached Q. Very few people in the whole of England ever reach Q. Here, stopping for one moment by the stone urn which held the geraniums, he saw, but now far, far away, like children picking up shells, divinely innocent and occupied with little trifles at their feet and somehow entirely defenceless against a doom which he perceived, his wife and son, together, in the window. They needed his protection; he gave it them. But after Q? What comes next? After Q there are a number of letters the last of which is scarcely visible to mortal eyes, but glimmers red in the distance. Z is only reached once by one man in a generation. Still, if he could reach R it would be something. Here at least was Q. He dug his heels in at Q. Q he was sure of. Q he could demonstrate. If Q then is Q—R—. Here he knocked his pipe out, with two or three resonant taps on the handle of the urn, and proceeded. "Then R..." He braced himself. He clenched himself.

Qualities that would have saved a ship's company exposed on a broiling sea with six biscuits and a flask of water—endurance and justice, foresight, devotion, skill, came to his help. R is then—what is R?

A shutter, like the leathern eyelid of a lizard, flickered over the intensity of his gaze and obscured the letter R. In that flash of darkness he heard people saying—he was a failure—that R was beyond him. He would never reach R. On to R, once more. R—

Qualities that in a desolate expedition across the icy solitudes of the Polar region would have made him the leader, the guide, the counsellor, whose temper, neither sanguine nor despondent, surveys with equanimity what is to be and faces it, came to his help again. R—

The lizard's eye flickered once more. The veins on his forehead bulged. The geranium in the urn became startlingly visible and, displayed among its leaves, he could see, without wishing it, that old, that obvious distinction between the two classes of men; on the one hand the steady goers of superhuman strength who, plodding and persevering, repeat the whole alphabet in order, twenty-six letters in all, from start to finish; on the other the gifted, the inspired who, miraculously, lump all the letters together in one flash—the way of genius. He had not genius; he laid no claim to that: but he had, or might have had, the power to repeat every letter of the alphabet from A to Z accurately in order. Meanwhile, he stuck at Q. On, then, on to R."
Pinyin uses English style punctuation, which is different from what is used in other Latin alphabet languages
The EU ‘proposes to raise the EU's ambition on reducing greenhouse gas emissions to at least 55% below 1990 levels by 2030’.

At the moment that part of the world is the most ambitious part.

> after we move to zero emissions

I wonder if that will happen on a planet scale even in your sons lifetime

There's no way a Democrat president would make US personnel subject to an international court either. If there ever were any prosecutions it would cause a political meltdown. Unilateralism and exceptionalism run deep in the US.
"Knowing they're accidentally sending images to the wrong people is a HUGE, priority 1 problem."

It is. But I have no insight in all the other problems and bugs they have. Do you? There is never a guarantee of total safety. So focusing all the ressources on one problem that happens extremeley rarely and miss out a bigger problem, that affects millions? But I don't know if this was the case here. Might also be neglect or not wanting to spread the image of Signal as being non-secure, while in a path of growth.
Schemas don't mean that formats can't evolve.
You are right. But I read this as someones collection of ideas anways not as universal priciples that must be applied everywhere. I tend to favourably read into other peoples statements if in doubt (especially on HN)

A politician will not act on anything unless it will hurt their chances of getting re-elected.

Humans in general are very short term creatures and we fail at having a long term perspective on most things.

That's also the reason why I believe that any concrete things set in motion will probably focus on fixing the symptoms of climate change, the short term quick fix, rather than fixing the underlying issues that have lead to climate change. Sadly...
Ironically that's true in many places in Asia. They pay way better than Europe with a cheaper cost of living and less taxes too.

It reminds me of a friend of mine that had his ex boss establishing a company in Ukraine. Initially the developers' cost was cheaper if compared to the other parts in Europe, then many companies started to move one of their office there till they reach the point that they had one of the best salaries in Europe (compared to purchase parity and cost of living) due to the high job offer.

The "opposite" side of this issue is people who intentionally adopt a pronounceable name of their destination country. I may have observed that, but I'm not really sure. Some of my Chinese students, who could barely speak French, were called totally french-sounding names like "Cédric" or "Pauline". I guess they invented them on the spot, to avoid people butchering their real names. But I never thought of a non-awkward way to ask them about that.
I see how you can think GW's withdrawal was a turning point, but honestly it was a drop in the bucket. I've spent a long time trying to trace the origins of the current policy, and I mostly lay it at Woodrow Wilsons feet (and his handlers). Handlers being a key word. Do you not think Bush had them? The real power players in DC exist through multiple presidencies. This idea of POTUS being king-like (and therefor X is POTUS fault) is so unrealistic and a very sophmoric analysis of the real power dynamics at that level.

ps. What most people mean when they say "democracy" is "IMF conditionalities", et similar.
I'm not sure that I'd want to burden my family with my old-age care, I'd rather they lived their lives to the fullest than had me as a millstone around their necks preventing them from achieving their dreams. If I was ever incapacitated in a way that required 24/7 care in my old age I'd far rather make a dignified exit and have my descendants remember me by doing something meaningful to them than waste time and money on me when I'm too demented to even appreciate it.

Of course, this will always be a deeply personal decision and there's no universal answer to this question.
This already was a problem ten, fifteen years ago, and I see it hasn't changed. IIRC I wrote a blog post about it back when (I get spurts of inspiration, then some time later I delete the whole thing because I'm embarrassed about stuff I write, including HN comments).

There was a big "grassroots" push some years ago about pusing W3Schools docs out of the top Google results in favor of MDN; the same should be done with bad PHP code / examples. Because in practice, 90% of code is copy / pasted and adjusted.

There's just no big player behind PHP though, a party that wants to professionalize the language and more importantly its community. If there were, they would push for more authoritative tutorials and documentation. As it stands, the PHP docs are fine but are lacking information about SQL injection, and it's 10+ year old comments to that documentation that is often more valuable than the docs itself.

PHP is still one of the top languages out there but it has so much more potential.
At this point I just want to further support the developer and like to pay that amount and bought it immediately, even if it doesn't provide that much content. Perhaps it helps him fund the next project or further addons and lets him keep working on the game.

But if money is an issue for you I understand the objection. Mods probably provide far more new content.
That's a very good salary in India. Not to mention that taxes are lower to many other European countries.

I'd say they definitely earn more money than their folks in south Europe (Spain, Portugal, Italy and Greece)
I always figured that a write wouldn't change the magnetic field 100%. Say it's 90% effective at changing the magnetic field. There's now four options:

1 overwritten by 0: 10% field strength

0 overwritten by 0: 0% field strength

1 overwritten by 1: 100% field strength

0 overwritten by 1: 90% field strength

But I guess that's not quite true.
Not related to this specific case or coding but about bad practices in documentation in general in my previous job I had huge headaches with some bad practices described in Microsoft's Active Directory training material. That company forest domain ended in .local because the AD admin was a MS MVP through and through.

However retail stores were almost entirely composed of Linux machines except for the manager's desktop. The corporate software used in these Linux machines would always pull samba which in turn pulled avahi. As soon as the software was installed post imaging because of licensing requirements connectivity with central servers was interrupted and the person installing it (which was always a different person because the stores were spread through the country) will often scratch their head, specially those who don't bother to read notes.
It's the same for most countries, Germany has the Sportsoldat, employed by the military (and even more employed by the police) and they make up the majority of the German Olympic team. Not everyone likes this in Germany, but there's not much of an alternative in sight.
The American U.S. Army World Class Athlete Program is tiny compared to the German practise.
I don't see this as a defense, I am seeing it as a way to reach to more programmers, and basic security practices be damned in the process.

I have to wonder: what did these people have to gain if PHP got popular (which it did)? That's an egotistical way of popularizing your language.
I wouldn't say it is quite below the average. One of the things about Netherlands is that it really depends upon the city you live in. If you are not in Amsterdam, it is a different story.
Really nice post, hits a few sweet spots

* Neat bit of approachable maths

It's more of a translation than transliteration.

Mark and Anthony are just the English translations of Marcus and Antonius. In French he's called Marc Antoine, in Spanish and Italian Marco Antonio, etc.

All Latin languages do that for names (at least historical names, but it's common enough for other names too) it's just less common for Germanic languages except English which is like always a bit in-between the two.
I wouldn’t worry too much about it. You have your style, and it clearly works for the people who like your work. Everyone likes different things, and it doesn’t make sense to force homogeneity. It’s ok to cater to niches.

That doesn't seem like a standard setup; probably there is some custom work done there as part of the login flow.
I see what you mean, but at the same time, back then just getting a working PHP environment up and running was complicated enough - PHP, Apache, MySQL, and you had to get them all working together.

If it was about accessibility, they should have made an easy installer and even offered cheap hosting themselves I think.

As for SQL injection, were prepared statements even a thing back then? Either way they should never have allowed and normalized string concatenation to build up SQL queries.

Even within English there are different accents. I'm British. If I meet an American "Annie" then do I put on a faux American accent while saying her name? Or do I just say "Annie" with a British accent? If it's allowed or even expected that I shift "Annie" into my accent, why not a non-English name? What about European names that have English equivalents but are pronounced differently in European languages?

My own name is foreign. Native English speakers cannot pronounce one of the vowels in it, and if they try, they end up using what is to me a different vowel entirely (imagine someone saying "Dive" instead of "Dave"). I gave up when I was about six, and am quite happy for people to use a common, roughly similar English name for me instead. In fact I prefer it, since then I don't have to hear it being mangled constantly.
I disagree. None of the things AI or mathematics do are humanly impossible.

In fact most things are better done by humans, because they understand context, which most AI/ML currently doesn't.

AI is great for tasks that can be done without much context and can be incredibly efficient and fast compared to manual work. Everything else, including "self-driving" currently needs supervision or produces terrible results.
> It's just like the OP said there is poor support.

It's impossible to have good support for every available software. My Purism laptop works without issues for years. No crashes, no problems with WiFi or suspend. Just buy preinstalled Linux, like I did.
Depends on what consciousness turns out to actually be in my opinion (which is another unknown that'll no doubt be looked back on in amazement). If it's something that can be recorded in a sense then I imagine death without having first "backed up" will be seen as a tragedy! It might be the case one day that biology is simply be the first stage of the human lifecycle and just like birth, puberty etc "death" becomes a major life milestone that involves exchanging our frail bodies for something much more durable.
Yup, make it work (securely!) before making it fast; you can't diagnose performance if your code isn't working as it should in the first place (and SQL injection safety is a non-functional requirement; you can't consider code working if there's that weakness). In practice, bad database design or access (like the n+1 problem) will weigh heavier than the overhead added by a library like Doctrine. Or, it should, if Doctrine adds THAT much overhead it's a problem.
Germany is still not a proper democracy - not for as long as its intelligence services answer to the CIA.
Ask HN: What are B2C SaaS Winback Strategies for churned users?
We're running a B2C firm, most similar to Netflix and Spotify, and see a good number of churned users, who cancelled our service months ago. Overall, churn is pretty low -- however, I wondered if there are some best practices or excellent write-ups on the topic.
The phrases are proven/believed to correlate with Cognitive Distortions, but that is when they are used in conversations, or diaries, or maybe short writings. Not in books, which are very different from those things. Doctors don't ask a patient to write an entire book and count these phrases to determine whether or not the patient have Cognitive Distortion.
I can only see a two minute long highlights video by eurosport. Perhaps I’m really bad at searching, could you share a link?

There isn't really a 'Tesla community' though, it's called 'Traffic' and we're all part of it, also those people that do not have Tesla's such as pedestrians, cyclists, motorcycles and other vehicle operators. And that's why everybody should take great care to keep each other safe, not just those people that are currently enclosed in 2+ton steel enclosures.
"Sure, only "priviledged" people should have children."

No one said that. It was simply said, that those who have a mind and use them - totally should have children - because otherwise only those have children who do not use their mind so much. And this would not be helping.
>Nothing is meant to live forever.

And you, axaxs, are the righteous and true arbiter of who lives and who dies? I'd rather make that decision for myself thank you.
What a fantastic ending:

>If God exists, I can’t believe He or She would find nothing more interesting to do with Steve than to torture him for his unbelief. More likely, I think, God is right now talking to Steve the same way Steve talked to Aristarchus in To Explain the World: “yes, you were close about the origin of neutrino masses, but here’s the part you were missing…” While, of course, Steve is redoing God’s calculation to be sure.
Well, we're not likely to be able to do interstellar travel in our lifetimes, so for today it doesn't have much consequence :)

I stand by my opinion that any kind of documentation or tutorial should pass a validation step where the author does copy/paste of all their commands into a clean Docker container or VM image. If any error happens, your work is not done yet.

If you need to instruct users to install a compiler or an extra tool, so be it. It just must work as-is on a clean system (for which using Docker is easiest for me, but a clean VM or any other alternative is fine too).

Huh? That's not even remotely true, go read it again (and not just one of the table images this time).

All it requires of sleep mode is that it be configured to go to ACPI S3 within 30 minutes of inactivity. If it does not go to S3, then your quoted formulas are almost accurate, except all of the formulas subtract a base amount of memory; a workstation with 32G of RAM must not exceed 10W because the formula is (10 + 0.03 * (RAM - 32 > 0 ? RAM - 32 : 0)). Also, there's another formula for notebooks, and that one takes into account whether there's a dGPU.

But all of that is irrelevant because there's also a separate requirement, namely, all computers manufactured >=2019 shall "Comply with Table V-7" which has a yearly maximum power consumption (with base values and very complex "adders").

Why do I care? I grew up in Portugal with asthma at a time when indoor smoking was allowed and prevalent.

The progress in the past few decades has been amazing for my quality of life and that of all other people (specially children with smoking parents) who were regularly subjected to 2nd hand smoke from a young age through no fault of their own.

Another data point supporting this - it took till 2020 for Studio Ghibli’s back catalogue to appear on a mainstream streaming service for western consumers. They definitely faced the innovators’ dilemma of not wanting to cannibalise the DVD sales gravy train.

Better late than never I guess.
It was explained to me that the difference between "q" and "ch" (and the same for "j" and "zh") is the position of the tongue, that is it is rolled back in "ch" and "zh". Correct?

I watched the men's "street" skateboarding olympics. It's anything but street, a striking example is this street part from Kento Yoshioka [1] which is bursting with creative use of the actual street. In comparison, while technically impressive, the olympic event featured bland tricks done on polished rails and hubbas.

The beauty of skatebording is mostly subjective, for example I prefer simple tricks executed with style, than hyper technical tricks. This point is madd in the Daewon Song documentary [2]

> that current methods require typing a phonetic equivalent using an alien character set [ie. Latin] which is then translated back to the desired Japanese character set

FWIW, the common "flick" method on phones is done using the native hiragana characters which by a coincidence handily map onto a T9-style layout https://lpgen.line-scdn.net/mobile-guide/7037/images/169626/...

Keyboard sold in Japan have the corresponding kana on their keys so you can input using native characters, but it's generally "only used by old people" https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/proxy/WdEEFbM3kmER2rJReyr0...

So using latin characters isn't required per se, but on PCs it tends to be a choice.
Ha maybe :)

I started wearing glasses about ten years ago. Probably should have started a year or two earlier tbh.

For me providing the UI controls are the right size I’m quite happy with limited screen space though. I just find it easier to concentrate on a single task which often means just one or two windows without moving things around.

I find “context switching” my brain fatiguing and it slows me down leading to mistakes and I lose “flow state”.

Much like a cluttered desk I find a cluttered screen difficult to work with. Command+tabbing to find the right window is annoying to me now. I prefer to configure my environment so that I always know my browser is on desktop 2. My editor one desktop 1 etc. I can switch to it in a split second without animations or having to search for it.

Obviously everyone is different though. I see people work with a dozen windows on a single desktop but that just doesn’t work for me.
