Maybe you should have a serious dialogue with any obese person to figure out why it is hard for them if you care about forming a model of the world that represents actual reality.

Most obese people are not happy with their body or the ways their eating habits impact their live in many ways. Most obese people are also happy when they eat or worse: they are unhappy when they don't eat.

If eating gives you a short term improvement even if it makes you unhappy in the long term then you might just do it, like in any other addiction (btw. a well researched topic).

The way out of this is not to "just eat less", the way out of this is to tackle the reason why you only can be happy when eating and then eat less.
The island looks beautiful, but I would worry about cabin fever, social isolation, emergency services and quality medical care. Also, there appear to be no beaches.
If one process is using only 4 bytes out of every 64 byte cache line fill, the rest of the line is wasted regardless of whether there are hundreds of other processes loading different lines into the various levels of cache. It’s not using more of the cache, just using the same lines (or fewer) more effectively.

> I get the feeling that society in the large is all about vague implementations and vague evaluations models that are vaguely good enough to not be cancelled.

Well, western society didn't adopted central planning, in a good part as central planning's failure to meet society's needs.

Anyway, I don't think it's fair to criticize these efforts by depicting them as some sort of failure or the result of incompetence or shortsightedness. We have to have some humility when discussing these topics specially if they are from a field where we have no insight at all. In this case, we should keep inind that valuing energy efficiency and externalities is something that's extremely novel where society as a whole is just starting to take it's first steps. It's quite literally a highly transformative change that involves changes in all steps of an entire industry, including in building regulation and even urban planning. Change is happening as we speak, but what you are looking at, and criticizing, is society's first step in a much needed direction.

Reed Elsevier and the other rent seekers got no reason to live.

That said: in the legal world, where PACER extracts $0.10 per "page" even now that you get things electronically and the cost is near zero:

There's a service RECAP (PACER spelled backwards), where you can install a browser extension which automatically copies anything you download from PACER to a free archive. So one person pays, and the rest get it free.

It is amazingly complete, much more than you would think. For instance, here's the entry for the Elizabeth Holmes (Theranos) trial:

Pretty much yes from my experience. Both personal and by observation of others. That being said I know many addicts/alcoholics who live happy productive lives- they avoid the chemicals that suck them in.
Even if it is potentially technically illegal, I don't know about anyone who tried to stop it. Note that some release forms explicitly allow author's versions of the covered work for download on the author's website. There's usually a stipulation that they need to be different in some way, for example by not using the same formatting template as the journal/conference version of the paper.

Like the prior quote, this characterizes and denigrates a different set of people. It tells us nothing but your willingness to insult and ignore them. Let's stop dismissing people (probably not coincidentally, a certain political grouping being dismissed using the language common to another political grouping) and use genuine curiosity about the world - and other people - to further our knowledge. Maybe some people in CA know something important; maybe they should be treated with respect and listened to, being other genuine people.
Show HN: Ray Tracing (Monte Carlo Path Tracer) from Scratch
Recruiters and companies love the term devOps, and now DevSecOps, because it enables them to keep job descriptions generalized. This way you can be a software developer that is fluent in Python or PHP, but they can also pressure you to do everything from writing proposals to setting up and securing app infrastructure in the cloud (because it's all called devOps now!), that way they can reduce the number of overall jobs for projects and make sure apps have massive gaps in configuration and implementation... It's also the reason why many apps and sites fail regularly, because you can only squeeze so much juice out of a lemon, and less eyes on a project mean testing is often deprioritized and even skipped due to the cost of doing it.

By combining roles and spreading them across multiple disciplines it can also cover bigger salary demands of the most talented developers, but it also drives burnout and toxic work culture.

For example; A traditional development team of 4 people (e.g. 1 front end dev, 1 back-end dev, a System Admin, and a tester) is now cut down to 2 people. 4x 60k salaries now cover 2x $120k salaries for people that do everything under the flag of devOps... The company bills hourly now rather than per employee, but saves money by only having to cover costs like health care for 2 employees now instead of 4... Classic "corporate shell-game" move. :/

The system is broken, and mostly driven by marketing and profit-driven results. Don't fall victim to the hype, get them to fully detail your line of work prior to joining a team despite it being no consolation on what your actual role will involve. :P

2, "You can sue to have a domain name confiscated if you own the trademark with the same name"

Yes sure. What do you know about trademark law and English common law? A few hints: trademarks are granted for classes and a trademark in another class or another jurisdiction would buy you nothing.

A trademark for sampleword for delivering consulting services would not prevent me from running a shoe shop under this domain. Or a trademark in the US would not prevent me from using in in another country. Country specific domains may offer some protection here but not for .com .net

> remembering hundreds of three-word phrases

For that, I'd strongly recommend simplifying your life to a dependency on fewer than 10 password-protected sites.

(Or, for Pete's sake, at least try to keep it to "a few dozen", not "hundreds".)

If you have hundreds of passwords, how many of those are critically important? I bet you could partition all those accounts into two groups: fewer than 10 that are important, and the rest. The passwords for the rest group could be heavily reused.

Like, you know that password you created on some blog site three years ago (which for some reason didn't support Google or Facebook login) just to write one comment? Who cares about it.
Well saying the math 'works' is not quite right. If anything the math doesn't work out because there is no way to transform a normal trajectory into a superluminal one.

Sure you can just define a line through space-time that is superluminal. That's basically equivalent to just defining a singular moment in time, the same way that an (inertial) trajectory defines a constant position.

From what I remember from my epistemology courses, it's due to historiographical reasons: there are a lot of cross reference of the existence of Pythagoras from other texts, so his historical context and existence is well anchored.
As for Euclid, apart from the Elements, there is pretty much no mention of him anywhere, which is even more troubling since the depth and reach of the Elements is massive and should have had an impact at the time. This led some people to think that Euclid may not be a person but a group of people.

This is what I remember from courses 15 years ago, I may be wrong or outdated on the subject ;)
Can it also slow down the clock?
Note that dedicating an extreme amount of time to a task can be unhealthy in it's own right, if it's to the detriment of other aspects of life. Depending on exactly what you're picturing, it may also be worth noting that hyper-fixation can lead to working past the point of productivity (sometime you just need to sleep on it, take a walk, etc.). It's not a clear-cut advantage.
This is actually a function that is used with any regularity opposed to something almost never used with all the documentation warning against it?

Why does it not work so:

exec(['curl', line])

Like in about any other language?

I don't even see a need or something like that to exist, if one truly must, then one can always use:

exec(['/bin/sh', '-c', 'curl ${line}'])

Which I assume it resolves under the hood.
Don’t take it personally.
"This looks like a giant variety of Jicama"... A giant variety that has heretofor been unknown to the world? Hacker News, we cracked the case!

Edit I feel like I should explain the snark. The comment I'm replying to is coming from a classic flaw in human reasoning. "This looks kinda like this other thing I'm familiar with. So clearly it must be some variety of that!" Then it's couched in some authoritative sounding words so folks nod sagely and say "yes, that must be it" and press the upvote button. The fact that the commenter is hypothesizing a heretofor-unknown giant variety of a major world food crop is, well, sometimes sarcasm is the appropriate response.

Meanwhile, the actual article tells us a lot more about the thing including a bunch of evidence for why folks think it's a variety of agave. Along with some mysteries, yes! But none saying "oh maybe this is actually jicama".

Also if you're going to go with "this reminds me of this other vegetable" it might be useful to have a bit more breadth of understanding of the world's food staples. There are more than quite a few stachy tubers, roots, and stems like this. Cassava, taro, about six different things all called "yam" in English, potato, turnip, radish. There are many, many cultivated plants like this. The distinguishing characteristic of this one is its huge size. Something that jicama doesn't have.

One potential hypothesis: the Conservative Party in the UK tends to be centered around a particular social and educational class; many front-bench cabinet members in the Cameron government went to the same schools for their entire lives.

The traditionally working-class Labour vs aristocratic Conservative dichotomy is breaking now (as it already has in the US), but it was certainly the case in the UK in 2012.

They don't host your data so have no recurring expense, I don't understand how they can justify the subscription model. They have no real innovation, they added an "Audit Feature" for an additional €26.49 per year.

I see it as an issue of convenience vs actual benefits. Create a system that can tell if I am drunk with near-perfect accuracy from just me being in a vehicle and I am ok with it.

However the current systems we have imply that I'd have to blow into something every time to start my car, that straw thing would get full of saliva, and on top of that there could be false positives so it's obviously a big no.
Thats an ad.
I'd take this with a grain of salt for the time being. "Google contemplated" could mean nothing more than a random exec said this in passing or as a joke once to somebody else.

Not to mention no internal and communications are cited in the article.
Another point about peer review:

It sounds good but has become hopelessly corrupted in many fields. Cronyism ("I'll pass your paper if you pass mine"), conformity ("This isn't what the Cool Kids have agreed to, so you can't publish it") and also "This is too readable. Needs more jargon!" have taken over. Does this mean it should be thrown out altogether, or just reformed? I'm not sure.

I like differences between OS philosophies. It allows us to see how some things can be done way simpler and highlights strengths and weaknesses of different ideas.

Not being a windows guy for a long time, I was impressed that windows users were happy when chrome implemented the "print to pdf" feature, I said "CUPS let me print to ps or pdf a decade ago". Another moment like that was when I showed the 'time' command to a student as a crude benchmark for algorithms and also using LD_PRELOAD to easily show that his code had leaks, then complemented it with valgrind and leak sanitizer.

Leak sanitizer is multi-platform, valgrind can be replaced by drmemory and, of course, windows has many advantages that made it earn the desktop but, at the time, nothing like that was close on windows as a quick apt-get.

A trick I usually do these days is when someone argues about developing something new. I think about a somewhat similar package and "apt-get build-dep" and "apt-get source" it. In a matter of minutes I have dependencies for a package, its source code, compile and install it. People always get impressed at how easy it can be.

Good idea! I'm however limited here by the fact that (Firefox at least) only one sidebar can be open at the same time. And for me that's occupied full-time by the fantastic Tree Style Tab extension. I would definitely find it useful if more sidebars could be open at the same time.

Longest Substring Without Repeating Characters LeetCode Sliding Window Technique
I don't disagree the problem is solved - I the problem in the UK is humidity is quite high most of the time and most houses don't have HVAC and there seems to be a complete lack of knowledge around ventilation - very little thought goes into it for domestic properties, so you send up with these sealed up houses under the guise of "energy efficiency" which makes people ill though mold growth due to lack of air flow. It's probably also contributed to the spread of covid 19.

Just for perspective. Real-estate investing:

* Buying up a limited resource with the intent to sell it to someone else later

* Often is good land that could be used by someone else to create value instead

* Lots sit unused for years waiting for a buyer

* Land in "just the right spot" for me is being "squatted" by someone trying to flip it

Do you have the same opinion about that business, and if not, for what reasons?
Here's the thing about a lunar base on the south pole of the Moon: It's assumed that it would manufacture its own propellant from local resources (water). That means that you're already storing electricity electrochemically because that's exactly how you make propellant from water. But that means that it's just a small leap to make the storage tanks slightly larger and siphon off a small portion of the hydrogen and oxygen to generate "baseline" electricity for the station. You already have all the equipment anyway, why not just add a fuel cell? We can do small fuel cells more easily than we can do small reactors anyway. And even just one spare cubic meter of your hydrogen tank provides you with 1.3 MWh of electricity. One extra meter of length on a 4.5 diameter tank provides you with over 10 MWh of electricity.
"You're choosing to be lazy and you don't have to. Choose to be different!"

This gets to the very important question of how much choice do we really have.

People are the way they are because of how they were raised, their genetics, where and among whom they were raised and their life experiences. There's arguably some choice mixed in there too, somewhere, but how much real choice people have is debatable.

If people don't have much choice in the way they are, it explains why they have a really hard time changing, and there's no sense in blaming them for something they can't change.

Of course some people do change, but maybe that's because they were the kind of person who could, and other people are the kinds of people who can't.

There was a period of time my rent was more than my wage $725/month vs $700. I was subsisting off of unlocking phones for people (who those mostly didn't want to do it themselves or didn't trust themselves), dumpster[1] pizza, and the ~$200 a month extra I was able to make ($20 an unlock) was my utilities and non-dumpster-pizza food money.

[1] Literally, from a dumpster. Most local pizza places aren't run by douchebags and tend to put the leftovers in their own bag/box for the poor to consume. I truly appreciated it (much love to Hot Lips in particular), as Pizza was a luxury way beyond anything I could afford at the time.

It seems fine for validation, but when I want an IDL it seems to be vague in describing the indended data structure. This is in terms of cross platform dev and far from JS. It’s fine for describing the string like things, but when getting into sum types it doesn’t give more than `dependencies` to describe a tag descriminator. Going the other way, that doesn’t say more than both need to be there when the sum type is present.

But there isn't a singular date to associate with the Red Scare... that's more a nebulous period of time. It was also a gradual process. The West was already preparing for the oncoming cold-war with the USSR before the end of WW2.

The loyalty boards and Hollywood blacklisting were definitely a change is society, but it was so slow moving that I wouldn't compare it to a shift like 9/11.

The world wasn't really different before and after something like the hearings of the House Un-American Activities Committee, even though that is what would be a likely event you'd associate with the Red Scare.

When I think of 20th century cultural events that had an shift in society, I think more of the Cuban missile crisis, the Challenger disaster, the fall of the Berlin wall, etc... shorter events (not necessarily instantaneous, but well defined times) where you could define shifts in culture to before/after.

I'm not sure why the researcher's measures of efficiency should be taken as more credible than their subjects'. Don't we have two measures that disagree?

Tangentially: Why don't buildings replace interior lighting with sunlight collectors and mirror systems (or fiber optics?) directing the free, renewable exterior light to where it's needed? Too expensive to implement? Yes, you'd need electrically powered lights to supplement it, but you would eliminate energy consumption for lighting when there is sunlight.

Tip: Just don't turn on the lights during the day. It's a bit dimmer, but far more peaceful and relaxing, and the sunlight through the window is enough (especially when looking at an illuminated computer screen) - depending on the room, of course.
