Show HN: I actually made an art installation on this question once:
https://maschinenzeitmaschinen.de/tagged/derweil

derweil is an interactive video installation correlating time, space and big data to provide tailor-made instructions on how to get lost.

Materials: Google Directions and Streetview APIs, JavaScript, NW.js, cables.gl, Involt, Arduino IDE, computers, thermal paper, plastic, metals, wood.

Edit: wording and spelling.
You'd be surprised. If the other consoles are out of stock then those gamers might already have a PC or an earlier console (eg PS4). So they might instead buy a Switch despite it not having Detroit nor Gears knowing they already have a platform that does play those games.

A fair number of gamers are disinterested with the latest generation because they don't see the envelope being pushed enough (eg for many, the previous generation largely looked "good enough") but Nintendo offering something totally new (portable plus their own exclusives) offers something more for their money.

Maybe in a couple of years time if/when AAA titles stop offering releases on the PS4 we might see more people pining for a PS5. But a lot of the muted reactions are precisely because there isn't an urgency to upgrade.

Now you could argue that even if they don't replace their PS4 with a PS5, they're still spending money with Sony. But if these gamers also have a Switch -- which many will do -- then their gaming budget is now divided between Nintendo and Sony. Eg if they have £50 next week to buy a new game, they can't spend it in full on both the Playstation and the Switch. Even if they only spend half that on the Switch, it's still a 50% drop for Sony.

So Nintendo might target a slightly different market but they're still affecting Sony and Microsoft's games sales.
In other fields where there is a chance for fraud, the honor system is not used. In academia, the attitude is just 'the honor system is good enough, WINK' as it relates to data. In other fields where there are opportunities for embezzlement or other abuses of trust everything is monitored, only some employees are authorized to do certain transactions, and many of those employees are bound by law and oath to not do things like embezzle or falsify records.

This doesn't always work but having the capacity to disbar lawyers for, say, embezzling trust accounts or remove a CPA's license and put them in prison for falsifying records, it certainly has a deterrent effect on similar crimes of trust.

How much worse would white collar crime be if everything was on the 'honor system' and there was no prison time for stealing from customers/clients/shareholders? That's what we have in academia: crime won, so now syndicates of crooks run the system. With other abuses of trust the material consequences are more readily apparent: someone's bank account is empty that should not be. With this abuse of trust, the damage is more to the integrity of the purportedly rational knowledge base. It's more of a 'reign of error' than a reign of terror.
That was a rhetorical question.

I usually understand that people read mostly titles. It was a bit funny though that someone likely managed not to read both the posted site and a link in a comment they replied to.
You might consider reading the article then.
One thing that bugs me is how, on every such announced there is a good chunk of people who want to tell how hopeless it is.

If anything that is the thing that makes it hopeless, hearing again and again the voices shouting "it won't work", "we are weak, they are strong".

I do not say or even think these voices are paid shills, but I can hardly see how much better job one could do to demotivate anyone from doing resistance.

That said,let me add some facts:

- we won the crypto wars

- we won the nym wars

- Google and others have massively upgraded backbone security

- Matrix exist

- Signal exist

- Open source phones, PCs and even ebook tablets are shaping up really fast

- lots of people want to do something

So please people. Stop running the enemies errands.

If you have nothing good to say - don't say anything.
Thanks - you've just solved UFOs for me. Reading around this there also seems to be the possibility of naturally produced plasmoids.

It's one important cause - although "food addiction" is interestingly quite controversial in the research space, and the literature is fast growing here.

It's certainly something we tackle head on in our program.

But food addiction is not representative of everyone's struggles.
Psychology like psychiatry is very similar to pseudoscience and I mean identical to the snake oil salesmen. Both of the fields attempt to “help” the unfortunate, who truly need help and placebos can arguably help "overcome" life factors. I was naive young from wishful thinking/optimism and thus fell prey to the mentality of the fields being positive for society; nowadays I realize the opposite. The sad thing is that society has morally suffered tremendously from both fields' actions & thoughts throughout history. Persons having poor life outcomes from genetics, where their time is squandered by misguided trust from themselves or loved ones and where what they need isn't there while sometimes they have a lot worse because of the fields.
$200 a year looks too cheap... Like people won't take the implementation seriously.

I agree. More details:

> Just like every high-quality post you've read in a SaaS blog.

The problem is that I have reed too many high-quality posts and too many low-quality posts. It's difficult to know if it's worth my time to give the information you need to write a good post before reading at least a few samples.

From my experience with the Shishun 18 Ticket one could easily get from Fukuoka to Tokyo and even further in around 12 hours or so. It's awful after couple of hours when you hit those smaller trains with benches that have not been replaced in decades but definitely doable haha
The author is absolutely right here:

>The developers of the New World Order will assume, always, you are running Linux, as Ubuntu, and you always have Docker.

It sure doesn't seem like these projects are *NIX compatible. What happened to traditional bash scripts, chroot profiles and Makefiles?

It reminds me a lot of the systemd debate. I wonder where the old school sysadmins are to lecture us on the evils of writing everything for Docker and Ubuntu only, like the old Debian neckbeards did against systemd
Or it means there was fraud, which is why they are ultimately not able to be separated.
I hate to be be the one to tell you this, (just kidding, I get a little sadistic thrill out of it) but if you think the best way to defend science is to shy away from searching for truth, you may possibly have missed the entire point of the enterprise.
No, I don't think, because wages aren't the only production cost.
Agree with your analysis here. I don’t think this could be military otherwise we wouldn’t be seeing a press release and release of audio under freedom of information. If this was under serious investigation doubt we wouldn’t of seen the audio released as well. My bet would be the helicopter pilots got overexcited and the FAA is comfortable this is just advanced hobbyist equipment.
Agreed. I personally think of parser generator/parser combinator as similar to framework/library, where in the framework you have much less control and often have to rely on "escape hatches" to make custom stuff work. Whereas parser combinators are simply a library making implementing your parser much more convenient and expressive. You call the code, not the framework
Um. What do you think the grid of wires in the window of your microwave is for? Its a faraday cage to keep you from being cooked.
I am wondering if you are hinting at the cold war, Vietnam or Afghanistan/Iraq.

I honestly can't tell.
I think this is true beyond graphics as well. I remember when games started shipping with fully voice-acted dialogue, it felt like all the interesting interactive text based systems (however clunky) were immediately abandoned. This hurt immersion for me far more than text vs speech ever did. I'm excited by the progress in dynamically generated voices in games happening now, although in many cases that seems more like having better placeholders in your asset pipeline than using them as production-level dialogue.
| Are you saying the NVMe devices lie about their atomicity as well.

I've seen 'em do it, man.
Well, actually, it's implemented in Pyret itself (-:.

But it currently compiles down to JavaScript. Our goal is to create an awesome language for certain educational settings, and many of our users (e.g., schools) are on restricted machines that can't install desktop software. The browser is the one platform they can easily access, and it also saves teachers from turning into sysadmins (to install, upgrade, etc.).

Hence our browser-based delivery. There is also a CLI. And in principle, someone could write a back-end that targets native code, etc. We don't have the resources to do that right now (but it's all Open Source).
One thing that has improved my life in this regard is to make dedicated time without a laptop or smartphone routine. Once a week, I will sit in a coffee shop or park, read through a book, and then write about whatever I feel like writing about.

It's made me more aware that I don't need to constantly check Reddit or hackernews.

I highly disagree with "no starring mid air" in the focus section. It's something I do a lot, sometimes because I think about something I just read, sometimes because my mind goes travelling for a bit, which is a good side effect of reading (as opposed to infinite scrolling in social media which doesn't let you look up).
there is a good Ted talk about it ("how to get your brain to focus" or something like this) which proves that your mind needs to wander in order to stay healthy and creative.
It takes the same amount of effort and KYCs to sign up at a crypto exchange and sign up for a credit card.
It's still more nuanced than that. As I've mentioned in my post, Microsoft have been pushing hard the PC side of Xbox. So it's really more Playstation, Xbox and/or PC. Then if you introduce the PC you have Steam and all the other stores too.

Also don't write the Switch off for serious gamers either. Most gamers I know who have an Xbox or PS also have a Switch. Why is this important? Because if someone has £50 to spend on a game, they cannot spend that same £50 on both the PS/Xbox and the Switch stores. So even if the Switch occupies a slightly different market, it's still taking money that might have gone to Sony or Microsoft.
This isn't about morality. It's about saving lives and people who push this angle are causing people to die.

It is wrong if it doesn’t replicate; it might not be fraudulent. But it is not right.

If it doesn’t replicate, it should be relegated to “less than observational” level evidence. Why would you believe that the assumed intervention had the claimed effect, if it doesn’t have it when you try again?

I think this is over-sold, but psychology as a field is absolutely closer to philosophy with a veneer of science put on top than the field would have you believe from the outside, and psychology as a job is absolutely not science based day-to-day.

Indeed, supporting this: there are some people who live in Philly and commute to New York. (Using Amtrak, not the local trains.)
I think this is an overzealous statement of the central limit theorem. A log-normal distribution would probably be a better model in this case.

I've used rationals by default in Racket/Scheme for literally 3+ decades now. It's fine. Dart is trying to be an industrial-strength language. We're trying to create an awesome initial programming experience. To the beginner, those denominators are nowhere near as much of a problem as "numbers" that don't make sense.

But we draw limits. Did you try the `sin(pi / 6)` example? You'll find that Pyret produces a rather interesting result that is also instructive. (Hint: it will produce neither true nor false.)
You can make a Cloudflare API token that allows editing all DNS records for a specific zone, but I don't see a way to make a token that is restricted to updating a specific record.

Setting up a subdomain as a separate zone within Cloudflare is only available to Enterprise customers.

But yes you could register a separate challenge domain for the trick described in this article, add it to Cloudflare, and then use a token scoped to only that challenge domain, and it'd be a reasonably safe thing to do.
> Combine that with minimum green hydrogen mix regulations that set a glide path to 100% green hydrogen and you're done.

This is only "done" in the sense that you are now moving in the right direction. It might still take several decades to actually complete the transition. New green hydrogen plants don't just pop up out of the ground as soon as the incentives are right, they take billions of investment and years of labor to construct.

(Also, I don't think banning blue hydrogen and taxing grey hydrogen is something that can be done "simply". That in itself will probably take a decade to move through the slow-moving gears of government and even then there are other countries like OPEC that would not necessarily follow suit)
> Different countries. Different decades. Different people run it in different ways. The kids are different. In some cases, the kids are already so active that the extra activity is detrimental. In some places, it's really hot. Kids tend to read, or do more organized indoor activities.

Elucidating confounding variables and controlling for them is the entire fucking job of a scientist.

To your example, if they publish a paper that explicitly highlights that it worked well for sedentary kids with typical diets of X, Y, and Z in region Q, then it failing to be a found in other environments isn’t a problem.

It’s a problem when these clowns do a test on one specific group of 20 people and then generalize to, “doing X leads to Y in humans”.

The answer is absolutely not loosening up the constraints. It’s to keep lambasting people who generalize before anything has been reproduced widely.

Popper’s science is fine. Morons who don’t realize what they measured are the problem.
It would be more awkward if it was the other way around…
So where does this green hydrogen come from without huge subsidies? That's always seemed the main problem to me - we don't have it knocking around and making it is more expensive than alternatives like solar and batteries.

Because the US government told them to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Choke_Point
Autopilot malfunction is too charitable to the pilots. From wiki, "Investigators believed that 727 pilots (in general, and this flight specifically) were setting the trailing edge flaps to two degrees during high altitude cruise, while at the same time pulling the circuit breaker for the slats so that they would not activate."

The captain denied that, but who can believe him? He erased 21 minutes out of 30 minutes recorded from the cockpit voice recorder.
If I read your exuberance incorrectly, I apologize.

Toyota has a lot invested in the hybrid architecture. I doubt they’ll go full electric for some time and frankly it won’t make sense to do so for another 10 years.

Still, there are a lot of great options out there right now. For example, the Bolt from GM is a great little car. I inspected one up close two weeks ago side by side with a new Model 3. While not a great comparison in terms of function, the build quality in the GM model was just vastly superior by nearly every measure.
That is true but I don't think that accounts for all the metabolism. There's probably something to say about having to maintain your temperature, but I don't know if it consumes more or less energy in general as fat isolates. Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basal_metabolic_rate) says that 70% of the metabolism comes from the organs, 20% the muscles and 10% thermogenesis. All probably grow as you gain weight, but I seriously doubt that an obese person weighing 400lbs consumes twice as much energy as someone weighing 200lbs. What I'm trying to say is that the idea that you have to eat enormous quantities of food to maintain a high weight seems wrong to me, and that simply saying that the person must be missing some calories that they consume or lying about their level of activity seems condescending to me.

To change the subject, do you plan on expending Fella to Europe at some point? I really like your approach.
A bit confusing to read. The landing page says "the most versatile typing utility ever", programming typed languages is what comes to mind before literally typing on a keyboard... Maybe it's intentionally vague to be funny...

Interesting project though!
We are likely both wrong in some way, what a novel concept! ;)

Having parts of the spike protein targeted helps with existing variants, but not with new variants that might escape those markers. Delta is weakening the effects of vaccines already. Sure, booster shots might include new markers, but it's still a narrow moving target.

However, natural infection will provide broader immune response and antibodies. So if one could be sure to remain in good health, infection is much less terrible after two vaccine shots. That might provide additional protection that vaccines may not. It's more random though, but researchers are not foreign to the idea.

Nobody is able to predict future outcomes of it, but at some point society will need to accept widely spread of infections and deal with those outcomes. Hopefully, vaccine shots is enough to deal with the initial shock so the body can do the rest. It's not just about avoiding killing old people, but also avoiding degrading public health too much.
This seems to be a usecase for a fast scalable crypto. Note: it’s not the only contender. And it doesn’t need to be decentralized. I am purely talking from a pragmatic perspective.
An important finding is buried in the linked blog post. It turns out that Ariely was hyping the fraudulent findings on NPR in February 2020. At the time, perhaps he didn't know that they were fraudulent. But he -did- know that there was great reason to doubt them. We can be confident of this point because, more than half a year earlier, he had submitted for publication a new article [1] that (a) failed to replicate the original findings, and (b) uncovered a massive problem with baseline measurements in the original study, suggesting that the randomization in that study might never even have taken place. Indeed, the whole point of the new article was to make these critical points about the older article!

Even if Ariely had no role in the creation of the fake data, it seems hard to defend his behavior on NPR: hyping a study that he knew to be extremely problematic.

[1] https://www.pnas.org/content/117/13/7103.short
The 2012 article states:

> Specifically, we ran analyses examining whether the two conditions differed in the number of instances wherein reported odometer mileages ended with 0, 5, 00, 50, 000, or 500. Numbers that end with these digits indicate a higher likelihood that customers simply estimated their mileage. We detected no statistically significant differences between our two conditions in the instances in which these endings appeared (pooled measure: treatment, 19.9% vs. control, 20.8%; χ2 = 2.5, P = 0.12).

1. What does this mean? (“Pooled measure”) Wouldn't a mileage ending in 500 also end in 0 and 00?

2. If the numbers are uniformly randomly generated, shouldn’t the odds of ending in 0 be 10%, not 20%? Or is this an equal mix of fraudulent and real data in both arms?

Just curious because this is the one of the only bits of data for the fraudulent study in the 2012 article.
Oh, it has a FUSE compat layer too, that's pretty damn cool.
They are indeed checked at compile-time if you use the optional type checker. It's not on by default because there are still a few odd corner-case bugs in it. But the Run button remembers which state you are in, so once you switch to using the type-checker, you'll always use it unless you stop using it.

What it should do is a decision that should be made by the individual curriculum/instructor.

They aren’t actually banning nudity or even “porn” they are restricting explicit content for free and unverified accounts and putting some additional restriction on the type of content that can be posted.

If the majority of the revenue is generated by cosplayers who show some boobs and bush and girls in borderline transparent bikinis selling bath water they might be alright.

Crypto isn’t a solution really if they go that route their revenue would drop like a rock.

If their biggest cash cows don’t do hardcore stuff or their fan base would be ok with the content under the new policy I think they’ll survive.
You’re missing the point entirely. Microsoft monopolizes all Xbox stores. Sony monopolizes all Playstation stores. Nintendo monopolizes all Switch stores.
> The author is absolutely right here:

I disagree. At most the author complains about packaging, and singles out a specific Linux distro as being very popular as a base image for Docker containers. For some reason the same author ignores the fact that Alpine-based images are highly favoured as base images because they allow the same software to be packaged and distributed without requiring hundreds of MB of bloat.

Also, it's irrelevant which base image was used to package an application. All that it matters is whether running '$ docker run <image>' is enough to run the app. The answer to that question is an unequivocally "yes" regardless which Linux distro you're using, and that's the exact opposite of Linux being dead. In fact, Linux is the OS of choice for deploying software, and that isn't really compatible with the notion of being dead.
