> Books are probably a better comparison to video games... which is probably also why I hate when those are too long.

Hmm books last 2-6 hours for me, depending on how bestseller-ish they're written. You're not talking about technical manuals are you?

Series can get long, but those come out one "episode" every year to couple years.

> Several years ago I played The Witcher 3. I couldn’t finish it since it had so much content.

Welcome to the club :) I've made it to the Nordic themed island so far. By the time Cyberpunk 2077 is fully patched and PS5s or new gaming PCs become available and affordable again, I might finish it!
> If you take $5, walk across the mexican border, and then buy an antibiotic labeled for use in humnans -- is that a violation of US law because the Mexican pharmacy sold something that a US person could possibly access?

That's not how the law actually works though. The store in Mexico can't be accessed by someone in the jurisdiction of the US at the time of the transaction. There's no legal avenue for the US to pursue the Mexican store except negotiate with the Mexican government to extradite them.

Additionally most US laws have "knowingly" clauses. While you can be charged for committing a crime it's up to the state your actions met every clause of the laws. So even if on the off chance the US was able to extradite your Mexican shop owner they would need to prove the shop owner knowingly committed the act.

8h is kind of too little, but the padding doesn't go up to 40 hours, more like to 80+. If you're a completionist at least.
Yes, I understand that. But my point was that in many cities you need neither a hackney license (i.e. a medallion) nor a livery license, whereas in New York you need a livery license. Livery licenses are much cheaper to acquire than a medallion, but they still raise the barrier to entry more than in other major cities, so I suspect that would be relevant for pricing.
>I mean, we're already seeing numerous countries experience higher cases and hospitalizations with 50%+ vax rates than they ever did before the vaccine rollouts but hardly anyone is asking "hey, what's going on here?"

There's no reason to ask because we actually do know what's going on here. The r0 of OG COVID is ~3, higher than the flu. The r0 of Delta COVID is between 5 and 9, and the CDC currently estimates it at 8.5. Worse, Delta generates more, and more serious, hospitalizations (among the unvaccinated). [0]

Which countries are experiencing hospitalization rates higher than pre-vaccine times? More importantly, do those trends disappear if you look at areas within those countries that are highly- or poorly-vaccinated?

I'm happy paying people for their effort and creativity. This licensing agreement is not something I would personally consider though:

> You get a total number of prepaid pageviews that can be used over time. This means that you will pre-pay for a number of pageviews, then you’ll have to come back to order more after your site has been viewed that number of times.

> For example, if you order 250,000 page views, when your webpages using the webfonts have been viewed 250,000 times, you will need to buy the webfont package again for an additional number of prepaid pageviews. Pageviews are valid for 4 years.

(Then again I mostly do tools and infra so I'm not in this market anyways.)
If a problem is re-occurring and between lots of people, it's probably the fault of the system that powers it. The system in this case is the software, so blaming the software is appropriate.
It takes many years of painstaking research to build up the body of knowledge necessary for evidence-based medicine to become effective. This isn't shameful, it's just how the process works.
These kinds of donation initiatives drive me mad. If they didn't exist, I'd throw these clothes my partner insists on donating in the trash. Why would I send garbage to someone else as a donation??! The fact the donation receivers just ship them to a foreign landill proves my point. I'll keep it local :).
> We were depersonalized by the industrial revolution, and then large numbers of us were killed in the wars that followed.

We were depersonalized loooong before that - read up on the 30 years war, or any other conflict before the Industrial Revolution.

“Soldiers” of the time were mercenaries, many of whom were pressed in to ‘service’ when their village/town/farm was destroyed by said mercenary company. These mercenaries fought at the whims of princes and kings who squabbled over whims and privilege, and the princes and generals are the only ones who are remembered.
I'm sorry but environmental litigation is not a simple thing any corporate officer shrugs concern for. They simply try not to know about those things or offload the risk to third party's etc.
It is never too late to decide to begin to learn again. The right time is always now. You never have to, or can, learn everything at once, but you can always learn one thing today, and another tomorrow.

Manual reviews are useful if and only if reviewers are well trained, understand what is good and what is wrong, and do care about what they are doing.

There is a ton of anecdotes from iOS/iPadOS devs in the tweet thread that prove that some reviewers don't care at all about what they are doing: apps have been rejected for bad reasons, apps have been rejected except that the rejection screenshots were for... another apps(!!), and sometimes rejected for absolutely no reason.

It is a shame to see Apple that see devs as evil people, until they prove they may be angels... however, devs money smells like the other for Apple.
Tandem is still new and has bugs but it’s never been a meeting killer. It doesn’t really have a guest access feature yet, though (at least to my knowledge).
Yes! Also cherry-pick and revert.

But specifically, the ORT strategy can cache computed renames across multiple commits being rebased, so the performance benefits are even greater for "git rebase".
It's a tool that comes with NodeJS.

npx will run the node package from node_modules if it's present, else it will npm install the package and then run it.
This may be unpopular, but since you asked, I am now firmly in the FTP camp. I wasn't always, but it's inched along over time. I live adjacent to George Floyd Square and our neighborhood has a long history of negative encounters with the police.

The department has for decades shown aggressive conduct and forced Minneapolis to pay out $71M in settlements in recent years. If anyone is doing the defunding, it's the MPD defunding Minneapolis.

There is more nuance than can fit in a Hacker News comment, but I do see the need for public safety while at the same time demanding accountability from our police department. I will be voting yes to change the charter.

Even if that's true, that's still well beyond a reasonable bound of sanity. Agreed that 8 years seems a bit light though, considering the notoriety of the crime.
Part of the issue in tech is we shrug off the control we have over the future. "If it can be done then it is inevitable" seems to be a common attitude.

A bit like the GitHub AI coding controversy. Yes, we maybe could AI ourselves out of a job, maybe? We can decide not to tho.

We have complete control over what we DO and DO NOT.

If humanity could organise well enough, we could collectively decide a weaponless utopia.

But alas, we are stupid.

I hope Knuth is smiling that Metafont-style procedural fonts are winning in the end after decades of haters :D.
Do you genuinely notice differences between fonts? I have a general sense of monospaced vs proportional and serif vs sans-serif. Past that it's mostly all the same to me and I'm kind of impressed that people pay so much attention to the tiny details (and maybe questioning whether they really do or whether fonts are kind of like wine tasting).

Four Solutions to a Trivial Problem (2015)
BD is working towards a robot-donkey, something that can follow soldiers over rough terrain.

That was done years ago, as the Legged Squad Support System.[1] It sort of worked, but was too expensive and too noisy, being powered by a small IC engine. The USMC abandoned the project in 2015.

Boston Dynamics' big accomplishment was to get enough funding to actually do anything useful in mobile robotics. Most university robotics projects were a professor and a few grad students, and took forever to get anything. BD spent upwards of $100 million of DARPA money over a decade and got some working demos. Then they were funded by Google, and now Softbank.

Big walkers have been built. The Timberjack, from John Deere, is probably the best example.[2] This is a large six-legged off-road machine equipped with a long arm with a chainsaw. It worked but was not cost effective vs. wheeled systems.

The message is that with enough money you can do legged locomotion, but so far, there are few profitable applications.

The point he mentions about the possible issue arising out of the reviewer not utilizing the app through the VoiceOver features is well-taken, but I don't understand why that could not be resolved with a more verbose explanation for a sighted reviewer of what the issue was.

Giving Apple THE MOST (and in this case, I think, excessive) benefit of the doubt here, one could say that their perspective is that the app should "work" for all users, so an experience that essentially breaks down with no real feedback for a "sighted" user could be taken as being broken, even if they are actually not the target user.

Consent is tricky. Many people are not aware of what they are giving authorization to. That would make it uninformed consent. Add dark patterns in and I think it is easy to say that some people are not only unaware of what they are authorizing, but purposefully being misled.

Let's be real, most people are tech illiterate. If someone can't read a contract and there is no one there to explain it to them, then they are not engaging in informed consent.

Of course we have to ask if this is ethical or not. But let's not boil the conversation down to "we asked, so it is right." One side is arguing that the person didn't give informed consent and the other side is arguing that consent was given simply because a button was pressed.

It's honestly an ethical discussion of if this is right or not.
I think there are solutions like high voltage DC transmission that could help with this. That would allow power sharing schemes over ~1000 mile distances without too much loss. But yeah, aside from HUGE overprovisioning in southern latitudes and monstrous transmission losses, we may be stuck with nuclear for northern countries and states until something new comes up. Also I don't see Russia being happy with being dependent on middle eastern, Chinese, or European power generation during the winter.

On the other hand, Canada seems to do pretty well with wind power despite the northern latitudes. But it is still only 6% of their winter power output.

Leaving out wind and solar during the winter, you are kinda left with geothermal and nuclear as your only low carbon options.
Right, but OP was specifically talking about tail recursion.
In most cases in my experience, the people did not face challenge actually grepping the internet for the solution.

More likely they just went to roll out their own solution for any number of other reasons:

-- For the fun of intellectual challenge (I am guilty of this),

-- For having hubris to think they are first to meet that challenge (I have been guilty of this in the past, I no longer make that mistake),

-- For having hubris to think they have uniquely best solution to the problem, highly unlikely it is even worth verifying,

-- For being superior to everybody else and hence no real reason to dignify other, lesser people, by being interested in their work,

-- For feeling there is just too much pressure and no time to do it right or even to take a peek at what is right and how much time it would take,

-- For not having enough experience to suspect there might be a solution to this problem,

-- Books? Only old people read books,

-- Papers? They are for research scientists. I haven't finished CS to read papers at work.

and so on.

There have really been very few concrete problems that I could not find some solution to on the Internet.

It is more difficult to find solution to less concrete problems but even with these kinds of problems if you have a habit of regularly seeking knowledge, reading various sources, etc. you will probably amass enough experience and knowledge to deal with most even complex problems on your own.

While I see the possibility of someone at the insurance company being the “motivated party” to fudge with the data, I agree that it’s difficult to see how one would do about it if one does not know what the researchers would look at.

And if I was in charge of the study (or anyone with enough experience I think), that “test” should have been kept secret from the company.

This to me implies at least blurry boundaries between the researcher (in this case Ariely) and someone at the company.

I will also admit not to be very impartial to this, being to this day very unconvinced by Arielys research and especially his conclusions and the platform he has built around them.

Hi, congrats on your launch.

This app would have been ideal for me; I'm now looking to improve my pronunciation after working on my grammar for a while. But I lost trust in the first 15 minutes; if you check lesson 1/4 of "Unvoiced and Voiced consonants," the app expects me to repeat the following phrase with an American accent:

> This house is a part of a low-income housing project.

But the coach audio clip does not say that; the coach says:

> This house is part of a low-income housing project.

So the audio clip of the coach features what seems to be correct grammar, the engine that corrects my pronunciation does not. If I try to say the phrase the way the app describes it, with "is a part", I'm able to pass the exercise. If I say the way the coach says it ("is part"), then it fails me.

So is my perception that the app does not follow American grammar. It is not great to have an app that helps me improve my pronunciation while it screws my grammar.

Also, how do I delete my account?

There’s already a drone/anti-drone arms race going on, with tech like microwaves, jammers, nets, and other more classified means of drone flight denial.

The drones will be effective for a while, then it’ll become impossible to fly them in airspace controlled by a 1st or 2nd tier power, and you’ll be back to needing foot soldiers (if only to take out the drone jammers).

As for our current cultural expectations, I think the idea is supposed to be that you play musical chairs until you hit your mid-to-late thirties, at which point you give up and marry whoever you happen to be with at the time, silently regretting the one that got away.

Better? I dunno. It does result in fewer children.

People would probably be happier if they married at 18 after their high school prom, and before anyone's fortunes were known.

* In Safari for iOS (current, iPhone), clicking the language dropdown didn’t do anything for me. No language menu appeared.

* I want to try it before signing up. Next to what I assume is the sign up link (it’s in German), I expect a link to a live demo of a well-populated example that I can actually use. If that’s really difficult, a 45-second screencast recording would be okay instead.

Hope this helps. Good luck!
