Doesn't 'strict control' imply that few legally detain guns?

Gender Inequality Index:
#1 (best nation) is Switzerland. This country is shock-full of firearms, there is an assault rifle in many (most?) homes (a weird way to 'control', in my opinion).

#2 is Norway, where 9% of the population legally owns 1.3 million guns (population: 5.4 million)

#3 Finland. 12% of Finns legally detain a firearm
All of math education is bad like this. We're taught the "ladder myth" that math is a linear subject leading to like multivariable calculus, not even real analysis.

It's a terrible waste of people's time, interests, and talents.
It's really not a substitute for mobile safari at all, especially not mobile safari at a specific iOS version. The state of the art there afaik is still to have a drawer full of iOS devices you hold off on updating for a couple years, or else you can never reproduce the bug that your users on older iPhones see.

There are too many bugs with things like the collapsible url bar / jank when changing orientation / or just plain bugs unique to their cut that won't reproduce on arbitrary WebKit browsers. I've had to fix layering bugs 100% reproducible on mobile safari on device but not in the emulator or beta for the new iOS at the time.

Super cool! I don't really work on anything that needs to be executed in a no-JIT environment, but I wonder if something like this could be useful in a regular browser environment too.

Like there must be a way to throw enough compute at the problem and get back faster code, I'm thinking with an AOT step code could be faster on cold executions and perhaps warm up faster too and/or have a bit lower memory usage? Perhaps TS types could be leveraged too. IMO that's an under explored area.
At Apple? Maybe not. But elsewhere?

Maybe no articles written about them but books or chapters ([0], [1]) written by them.

[b]I like being told how to make my text bold.[/b] No amount of intuition would let me figure stuff like that out on my own. (Note: I made that text [i]italic[/i]… had to be told how to do that. Does that make Hacker News particularly bad?)

“Intuitive” means “behaves how the user expects” – with computer things, that usually means “behaves how the user is used to”. If we focus on making things intuitive so they don't need instructions, and then don't provide instructions, we're just discriminating against people who haven't already got computer experience (preventing them from ever gaining it, by never telling them how things work).
You mean that isn't the plan?

Scariest thing is Discord isn't accessible without an account. And it WILL close down within a decade. And with that all that information will be gone.

Old simple PHP based forums or even reddit / Google groups was better than current state-of-art using discord or JS-heavy discourse forum.

If you do something wrong you need to correct it at your cost, including everything. I've been in framing before and called to move a joist that we put right where the toilet pipe had to be. We moved it, but it was a lot of work to cut all the glue and get it in the place it should have been. (normally joists are a fixed distance apart, but we are supposed to verify on the print before hand that the toilet or other pipe won't land on one). At least the plumber called us - he would be in his right to just cut the joist, and then we would have to fix it after the house failed the final inspection.

Contractors try to look after each other. Most know enough about other trades to stop and say "this isn't right, are you sure you want me to continue" if someone else did something wrong. But everyone once in a while this fails.

Nice job not answering the question. If you're being raped or mugged, would you rather A) wait until it's over to call the police who may or may not do anything or B) defend yourself with a gun before you are raped or mugged? There is a third answer C) have physical/martial training to fight your way out of it, but never bring a fist to a gun or knife fight.

A gun is not a "solution to crime" as you said. In the hands of a potential victim, it is a "preventative from the crime ever happening".
Wacky idea: instead of Google changing it's algorithm every couple of years, it could run 50 algorithms in parallel leaving no way for sites to "optimise" for the current one.
Discourse can also be accessed as a mailing list (for those lamenting its use of JS, etc.). Not sure if it requires any different setup, but that's how I interact with the Nix Discourse, for example.
Love Deno and using it as a node replacement. Fantastic work. I encourage anybody who has npm packages to move everything to deno.
I haven't heard a single reason other than the CEO saying, "I like being in the office and I want to see people."

To be fair, they are not mandating it. They are asking people what they want and supporting people's personal choice. At least for now.
>the memory cells do not retain this knowledge for extended periods of time in the case of the current Covid vaccines we have

This is a very misinformed statement as this data hasn't been collected yet.
Ok this is great if all I want to do is read text, but often times that is very much not all I want to do. The web is much more than text and images these days. I can appreciate this as long as it’s branded as a search engine for blogs and articles specifically, as opposed to being touted as a drop-in replacement for the modern search engine.
OK so it is taxes, the thing I said would be funny, and it is.

Bloat is the problem with discourse, also I heard hard to install on server side (RoR)
I largely agree, but the problem isn't the syntax, which is the bit I'm proposing borrowing into Nix. I'm not saying "Nix should have Python's performance or package management" or "Nix should be dynamically typed like JavaScript" (it already does) or any of the other things that make these languages a bummer for significant software projects. I'm saying Nix should be familiar and intuitive to as many programmers as possible, and most programmers can intuit their way around Python or JS syntax.

Exactly this. A couple results returned reference to obscure now-defunct newsletters and clubs, people that I know were historically important for past researchers, but only because this was my research forcus for so long would I have known this.
What's in it for them? Why would they care about people mangling their lyrics?
Does Discord store the number alongside your account? The smart way to prevent issues with associating accounts by phone number is to only store the link up until the account is verified. After that, they don't need the number linked to the account. The number just has to be stored in a list alongside the last time it successfully validated an account, and then only stay in there until the cooldown period expires.
Google Search is a fantastic product because it's essentially Spotlight for the web. It's by far the fastest way to get to things you already vaguely know are there and acts as a metasearch for large sites.

But as a result it's now less useful as a tool for scouring the web.
Of course not. Moreover, if you learn category theory first, you will never be able to do any of those things (nor will you want to).
Everybody wants to commoditize their complement. This includes managers.
Not to be thrown into semantics but...
Scope vs. Goal
The goal defines the scope.
If the goal does not change, neither the scope.
When the goal includes a date...the scope has no way
to adjust because scope refers, simply put, to a to-do list. A poorly conceived date does not change the scope,
it cuts short the to-do list.
How long does it take to a Nascar Team to win the Indy 500? 500 miles as fast as humanly possible.

I’ve often thought that Google could be turned back into a good search engine by simply eliminating the crap and letting the useful sites float to the top of the results.

marginalia.nu seems to like my sites, so it must be good!

Some results are prefixed with ! or an arrow dingbat. What does that mean?
I bought 20 acres in the hills around SE Oklahoma and am planning on a cabin next year. You can pretty much do whatever you want in Oklahoma. I was asking around about building permits and other regulations and the response was always a confused look and "it's your land, you can do what you want".
The other "half" to the inflation calculation aside from money supply is money velocity. If people and institutions aren't turning over the dollars, there obviously won't be inflation. As expected given the low inflation we've seen, V has rapidly decreased as M increased.

Agreed. I used to use Firefox Profiles like above comments may mention, but multi-account containers are great and far easier to use than re-launching Firefox instances. Simply click "Re-open this tab in..." while being on the Discord page to open up another account.
I constantly interpret everything in life as a programming optimization problem. It drives everybody around me crazy.
I have this problem. All my code belongs to freelance customers or projects I intend to monetise at some point (and aren't even vaguely ready to share with the world).

Also, there's nothing stopping someone from copy/pasting entire projects into their portfolio.

I would totally ignore someone's portfolio when interviewing them.
>"That makes it easy to put functional correctness first and performance second, as it should be."

That only works when performance isn't a core deliverable. In my area, that have to be co-developed as it is too expensive to build merely functional and make it fast later.
Similarly, I wish there was a recommendation engine (for web, music, movies, whatever) that can show you what is the furthest away from your existing tastes. I've learned to re-create my Spotify account once every 6 months or so, as their recommendation engine becomes a boring machine after using it daily for some months.

I'd love to discover new content that is different from what I read/watch/listen to now, but it's really hard to know about genres you don't know about.
As someone with a similar time in harness in industries that rhyme with that, I feel your pain.

While I'd prefer to work, not needing the money implies the ability to avoid the interview process. It's a funny thing being in an industry where people retire not because they can't do the work at a professional level, but because getting a job is such a PITA.
That's true. However, most A/B testing doesn't result in an academic paper, and there are strict ethical rules about academic work based on human subjects. Second, obviously not all A/B tests are the same. If you're testing two different fonts and comparing bounce rates, there are far fewer ethical concerns than if you're intentionally spreading an "emotional contagion" (that's the term Facebook used). And note that if you wanted to publish an academic study based on the font experiment, you would still need informed consent, not just "these people agreed to let us do whatever we want when they signed up 10 years ago, so it's fine".
“ The entire product was built on top of lyrics they don’t own. In essence, they built their product on top of someone else’s platform.”

It seems that this is the concept behind many startups that are successful. Airbnb, Uber/Lyft, DoorDash etc.

They try to take on risky efficiencies (by undercutting labor / capital, RnD costs, circumventing regulation), with the hope that they will become too big to be stopped. For many of them it worked.
You can buy a manufactured home if you want the factory. They are cheaper, but mostly because they don't allow any customization.

For sure, Reason 3 and older especially had it's own recognizable sound.

Personally I like using "garbage" plugins in my music. I've gotten some nice strange out of old free vst plugins run through much nicer effects racks.
I'd go even further and say code is pretty strictly a liability. If you don't hate your code enough to throw it away and replace it on a whim, then you've made it more important than it should be. Why else would we encourage things like loose coupling and building upon abstractions? That thing you're abstracting away is likely to be thrown away at some point and replaced with something different.

I can understand feeling pride in your work and all that, but let's not pretend--the code I write today is probably best viewed through beer-goggles, not in a wedding dress :D
Oh, I dream of a day where there are multiple useful search engines, specialized for different purposes.

You're doing God's work here. Thanks and good luck.
Whether or not something is rare globally doesn't depend on whether or not it's rare locally. I think most folks at Cern could agree that Fortran is not widely used even if they use it regularly and many others in their field use it regularly. Indeed, Fortran can be rare even though it's likely used more frequently than many programmers are aware!
The rise of China. Well. Taking into account that they adopted a somewhat economy market in many areas and that when there was more pure communism the economy was worse...

I would say they did not get here faster because of too much intervention honestly...

Nothing is pure capitalism or socialism. As you open the economy the cash flows more. That is what happened...

BTW, I do not consider China a success since they are like one century late from America and on top of that there is no regike that has killed more than the Chinese. Do you really think it is a success? Well... I would say despite of the people managing it, not because of them...

That said, I am not meaning austrians got everything right, just that I find them relatively convincing in many areas. Of course, they are subjrct to criticism, as everyone else.
Maybe the comment refers to the changes in gender roles over the past decades. Our society no longer widely accepts the idea that women are fragile and men have the responsibility to protect them.
You mean high-pass filter right? Lowpass filter means you're filtering our the higher freqs. In this type of discussion, you're trying to get rid of the people who learned to talk the talk, meaning the lower end of fakers and trying to keep everyone above that level. High pass filter.
I was just thinking that they finally became Lycos. It's what all the search engines except Google looked like back in the early 2000s - ad laden cesspools of irrelevant search results and other content. And it's why we all switched to Google at the time.
Wow, that's awesome. Great work!

For a simple test, I searched "fall of the roman empire". In your search engine, I got wikipedia, followed by academic talks, chapters of books, and long-form blogs. All extremely useful resources.

When I search on google, I get wikipedia, followed by a listicle "8 Reasons Why Rome Fell", then the imdb page for a movie by the same name, and then two Amazon book links, which are totally useless.
I'm sure even if they fold, the info will be sold to some group for ML at the very least.
Thank you for doing this important work.
The entire police force can do nothing for you on the phone. I think it is the reductions in police that are convincing more women to purchase.
There is no need to walk a superblock because they all have the same structure. You can pre-compute offests, similarly to what you would do to access a field within an array of structs.

Also, at the cost of sounding like the CS equivalent of flat earthers, big-O notation is kind of broken, and specifically, it doesn't make a lot of sense to say that something is O(1). Even hashmap queries, if you think about it, can't really be O(1) for arbirarily large values of N.

The general interpretation of O(1) in theoretical CS literature is "we know it's bugged, but we promise we won't bugabuse".

Before buying look at renting. There are pros and cons to renting, but most people won't use that enough to make buying cheaper, and renting means it is maintained for you.

Sure, I'll state my point straight: I don't think there's a problem with teens sending nudes to each other. Nor is there a way to stop them, even if there was. Nearly every one I know has produced some form of pornography for their SO at some point, so expecting young people who are at the height of their hormone craze not to is a bit silly.

Similar enough code block in that to what I just described to see there is now/still a known issue in java 17 to kill services after a prolonged period of time.

There's no shortage of those hs_err files, deleted a few thousand a while ago when I found out they were the reason a staging server had run out of disk space.
Worth noting that there was no Russian presence in Romania at the fall of communism back in '89. Russian military withdrew peacefully starting in '58 through early 60s.
On top of that, it is a tool, which can be used or abused. It can, for example, be used to avoid aggression. Just like talking to a high military leader of a hostile state can be used for 'good' or 'bad' purposes.

This may be one of my spicier opinions but I think we should have caning for some crimes. Fines and incarceration both have collateral damage, if the person punished is responsible for anyone. Fines are regressive. Incarceration has a host of well known problems.

But, unfortunately, a sufficiently dangerous person does need to be physically put away. Being held against your will may well do wonders for people you threaten.
Yes, my comment also applies to antibodies (e.g. the ones you develop after infection and recovery).

I have the same answer as reid, basically!

I don't even know offhand how old my installation is, but it's been a couple of years for sure. Two things really help with longevity:

* Local-only devices. My only cloud-integrated thing is a Nest thermostat, and only because I already had it before my HASS adventures. Lights/sensors/etc is all offline, so it can't break from some company giving up on a product line

* Home Assistant itself is quite stable as software! I do keep my install up to date here and there, but not religiously. Once every year or so, a minor deprecation thing might finally drop off completely and need a quick configuration update, but very rarely. (I'm pretty deep into a "homelab" style setup too; my HASS install is a linux VM, I have a separate storage layer, etc)

So early on, it was probably a few hours of work a week, but these days I can go several months without even thinking about it or changing anything.

Quick note on audio: I use Spotify out of sheer laziness. I think they've lightened up since I did my initial setup--or just stabilized API maybe, but years ago it was common for libspotify-type client integrations to break and need an update.

So now my audio stream is routed out of the linux VM itself at the system level. Unless Spotify is willing to drop the linux client completely, they can't break my use case. And if I ever switch back to my own local file collection, I just need something that can play audio on linux to do it. I could even have a line-in wire hanging off that hardware to play any audio source broadcast to my Snapcast network too.
It could get tedious depending on how many sites you want to block, but you can add "-site:google.com" to exclude google.com, for instance.
I've also found that brave search gets much better results than google for some programming related topic, simply by not being targeted by blogspam SEO as much. It's refreshing to not have to click through 3 auto generated "articles" but to either a) get the documentation straight away or b) find actually human written blog entries.
I'm not from the US but I have heard of a sometimes tough road to take no matter how anchored and "productive" you are. In case the road is blocked in the US I'll offer the insight that Canada is a very welcoming country too :) (it has taken this European in, for one).

I wish you the best of luck with that immigration process.
I did a quick check using the name of the Scottish village I am originally from (or as I should say "far am fae") and this produced a much more interesting set of links for me than that produced by Google
