> half of which group votes Republican (i.e., against reforms designed to prevent or slow climate change).

That’s a very cynical statement. Goes to show why both sides will never meet in the middle of the road with thinking that way.

Voting republicans doesn’t mean I am against climate change reforms. The issue at hand is how practically we deal with it and reduce demands on fossil fuel and transition to clean energy. Policies touted by a lot of left leaning politicians aren’t practical and many of them know it but they say it anyway. Look at California and its recent outages to any demand spike of utilities as an example.
> There's probably some itertools trick to do it with only one iteration.

Or an arithmetic trick. Since there's the `1 if ('G' in line or 'C' in line) else 0 for line in lines` construct in the code, if you simply replace 1 with (len(line)<<K)+1 and 0 with len(line)<<K (for a suitable value of K), you can extract the two results using div/mod.
And what prevents you from downloading the code, compiling it yourself and using it for any number of users?

I find the Malthus argument amusing because populations simply stop growing if there isn't enough food. The worst thing that will happen is that there are lots of hungry people. I don't see how that is different than today.

Meanwhile, in the reality we live in today, our economies are actually struggling because of a lack of population growth. Lots of economists simply assume endless exponential population growth to justify endless economic growth.

The dependence on growth relies on our insistence to work full time. Technology reduces the need for labor. So to give everyone full time jobs we have to grow the economy. It's quite stupid.

Imagine a simplified dishwasher economy. We have a replicator that generates food for free but it doesn't clean dishes. To increase labor efficiency keep building bigger and bigger dishwashers. For some strange reason we still insist on working 40 hours per week loading and unloading the dishwasher. There is something strange about this. Every time we build a bigger dishwasher, we have to eat more (=have more children) just to keep the 40 hour work week filled. This is the dependence on growth.

We have to keep growing just to stand still at full employment.

Why? https://www.health.state.mn.us/diseases/coronavirus/situatio...

My state has 3 deaths in the 18 and under age group. 0 deaths in the 10-18 group. There have been hundreds of thousands of child cases which leads to an outstanding CFR 0.002%! These same age groups have ~1/2 the reported cases which I take to mean they are fighting off covid without even becoming a case (another explanation would be less exposure to covid, I doubt that). I'm highly skeptical that vaccinating any children without comorbidities is ethical.

Even if Columbus was aware of Chiesa's work (no evidence for it being widely known is given here) or had independently heard of the Norse discoveries, he could have assumed they had reached some part of Asia already speculatively sketched on the maps of the day.

As others have pointed out, what Columbus believed and what he said in order to acquire funding are two different things. At the time, the prospect of finding an unknown continent would have been less motivating than that of finding a new route to an area known as a source of wealth; only in retrospect is the value of the former obvious.

That is not evidence! It is at best a coincidence. An even stronger coincidence would be that this lab had a genotypically similar virus stored prior to its detection. But even that is not evidence of release; it is just a stronger hypothesis.

If I was near a bank robbery at the time of occurrence, it does not count as evidence that I did it. Not even if I have a history of robbing banks. It must be combined with other, stronger evidence (I was inside the bank, my fingerprints were there, I was caught on camera) to build a case.

I've tried cython and it isn't competitive with C in real world cases. Cherry picking a case where it is competitive doesn't help your case. Its performance tend to be around the level of Java, another language people say is competitive or faster than C++ but in practice C++ is still twice faster than Java in most cases.

Still, getting Java level performance out of python is a huge improvement and should be enough for most cases.

Research about worldwide remote team communication
Hey,

I'm doing a research about how worldwide remote teams keep a good level of communication when they're hiring worldwide.

This way, I'd like to know what's your favorite methods to communicate as remote team and ensure the team keeps focused and happy.

Here is a quick template of questions about answers I'm looking for :)

1. What are the difficulties you face with remote communication with worldwide remote team ?
2. How do you try to solve it ?
3. What's your job ?

Many thanks <3

> I know three Series A corps with a 10+ year runway

Outliers, by definition, are generally not a good example of a population. Investors are not interested in you sitting on their money, and they will push you to spend faster. There are always outliers, but the average/median time between fundraising rounds for most start-ups is 18-20 months with average/median Series A raise of $10M/$20M.

> for whatever they need to get the job done.

Spending money is a gamble, you have no idea if what you're spending it on is going to work. Most start-ups - and businesses in general - fail. Even the ones where the CEO spent the money to get the job done.

And if somehow a founding team has managed to turn a Series A into 10+ years of runway, it's either because burn was low or they found a profitable business model and stopped being a start-up. My gut tells me most fall into the later category.
>This constant "eat the rich" mentality is doing more harm than good

asking for the same rules for the rich and the poor is "eat the rich"?
I see it more as capture of unwitting content producers. It's the same faustian deal made by medieval landlords to their serfs. The social media companies own the real estate and tools for improving it and allow their users to live and work there for free so long as they sign over everything they produce to their lords.
Great. Now tell the American bishops to call off the culture war.

Catholics have instructions on how to resolve the dilemma where one candidate supports doctrine A, and the other candidate supports doctrine B. In plain terms, it's basically "choose your battles." This came to light when the dilemma of the day was abortion versus capital punishment and the poor.

Owing largely to the culture war, American Catholics have provided decisive support to the party that calls global warming a hoax. This isn't a political statement on my part, but just a statistical one.

My view is that the Church has quietly held a token position on global warming while concentrating its social influence on other matters. I don't have a definitive answer on this, and could of course be wrong, but choosing the wrong battle is a moral failure.
> The carbon footprint of the super rich's personal consumption is negligible.

The same holds for the carbon footprint of any minority group. And everybody belongs to some minority group in some way. Does that mean everybody is exempt from the law? (No).

No. OP is completely wrong and has zero understanding of car dynamics. They put weights in F1 cars to get them to the regulated minimum weight.

Car (dry weight I believe) + driver + weight > minimum.

There is no advantage to adding dead weight in a car. The disadvantage can be minimized by using very dense metals that minimize their impact on the car's moment of inertia.
I'm curious whether anyone finds the images of the beauties actually attractive. I'm counting one mildly attractive picture in the article myself. Completely puzzled by what was considered beautiful back in the day.
Sure, and if you ask German conservatives lignite is practically green energy too.

From an environmental point of view the biggest mistake was to cut down on the development and production of nuclear plants because now it's too late to just bet on pivoting to nuclear if we still want to reach literally any of the climate goals.

But more fossil fuels are not the answer. The most effective way to cut emissions at this point is to reduce energy use, but there is no economical incentive for the industry to do so and you can only go so far by shaming consumers.

There is political capital in talking about overconsumption. There is no political capital in talking about overproduction.

EDIT: The original slogan for recycling was "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" but you there's no money in reducing (not "buy electric" or "buy low-energy" but literally not buying) or reusing (not "buy second hand" or "buy refurbished", literally using what you already have).
As part of my former job I used to follow AMD very closely and I have to say that while maybe misplaced in some ways, she deserves all the praise she gets and then some.

Some context, when she took over, not only was the CPU division in shambles and the product line not that great, but the internal infighting was terrible between the GPU and the CPU division. Most of it was fuelled by the marketing department taking the GPU side.

Not only did she had to handle this, but soon enough she had part of the company actively working against her to get her removed and replaced. I can't tell you how many times some very senior AMD people would go to the press and bad mouth her, talking about her incompetence (and I'm putting things mildly), and seeding rumors about her near and ineluctable ousting.

Political infighting in a large org is always a thing, but I never noticed anything that publicly overt (at least to the press), prolonged, and acrimonious.

She focused a lot on righting the CPU division and getting the trust of key senior people there and in the end, it paid. During that same period, same people from above were seeding rumors that Ryzen was going to be a bust, and the character attacks went up to 11.

I remember the first Ryzen press event, and you could see a mix of relief and confidence (I would say that prior to that event, she never appeared confident on stage) that came with it during her presentation. At that time she knew that not only she had a good product line for the next few years, but that the coup attempt would die down.

It took some time but those behind the attempts left the company and AMD ended up in a better place.

So yep, her resilience always impressed me and she will never get enough credit for it. AMD's turnaround is obviously not just hers, it's shared with many key people (eg. on Zen, Mike Clark, and Keller who - check for the Anandtech interview in another comment [1] - made the battered and bruised teams believe they actually could).

But she definitely played a large part in it. A bit before Ryzen was released, I remember casually asking one very senior person on the CPU division what he thought about Lisa. He started talking about the fact that sometimes she sets impossible deadlines (which boss doesn't?), but then he paused and reflected a bit and said "but she listens and understands". Coming from that person, that was about as much praise anyone in management could get.

Buy three 4k screens. hook them up side by side. use all of them. forces your head and body to turn.

but still minimize time at desk by taking phone calls while walking, etc
I don't think trying to passively exercise while working is the right approach - I take 2-3 15 minute walking breaks a day, but I also do 30 minutes to an hour of cardio before or after work every day. I use a bike trainer and rowing machine, but this could also be running, HIIT, roller blading, whatever. IME getting your heartrate into the aerobic zone for 30 minutes a day is way more effective at maintaining fitness than having it slightly elevated all the time.
>"The point is if I don't want to write hand-cranked code for every kind of possible query, I take a performance hit as a result."

This is how we end up with the architectures consuming orders of magnitude more computing resources and giant management overhead. Just because someone wants to be spared from a bit of thinking.

I can see how GraphQL would work for orgs with the massive scale like FB/Google/Insert your favorite. For the most of rest of the world it is nothing but unneeded overhead on resource both human and computing.

And of course cloudy people like Amazon would love you to use all this tech. The more you slow down your application the more resources you will be leasing from them so they get more money
Another problem is that Big Tech owns the relatively corrupt US government.
>use pattern matching to implement a functional programming DSL

DSLs have some use cases but generally I'd avoid being too clever and creating basically entire sublanguages for the sake of it - unless I really need to. Most projects don't need it, it's harder to pick up for novices (especially if there's a zoo of DSLs, different between projects). In Go the last resort is usually code generation, there are built-in tools for it.

>Async/await is also implemented by metaprogramming, rather than as a "core" part of the language

I guess most programmers don't really care if a feature is implemented in the language or in the library, provided it's easy to use. In Go, it's not extendable however; but so far, I've never had a need to extend the default goroutine scheduler.

>Unrelated to the above, Nim also compiles to Javascript. So you can use the same language for both the backend and frontend.

Go can be compiled to WASM, but practically I've never seen code that could be reused between backend/frontend because they solve different problems using different principles, so the idea of using one language for frontend/backend was never compelling to me. Maybe it's just me.
Would you care to explain to me how "consooome" and "soyware" imply your death?

In my vocabulary those are a joking reference to overconsumption and a play on bad software that serves as spyware, which social media sites arguably often are imo.

If you argue that you associate these words with people that want you dead it would seem to me that that is your narrow personal perspective. I certainly don't want you dead.
I fully understand that people do not want to share their income with other adults because "it's already too late".

However, sharing income to increase the potential of future adults? There simply isn't any good argument against that. They are the ones who will take care of you when you are old.

This is interesting because I passed over the word without noticing and even didn't understand even when it was pointed out. Now that it has been spelled out for me, a word has gone from being unnoticed to communicating the idea that the complaint is against. By making a larger issue about this, the objection has enabled the idea to spread giving the author more reach for his views than he originally had.

- Don't worry too much about getting in a lot of exercise during your work. Our bodies aren't designed to be very stationary but also not to constantly move

- But also make sure to do exercise outside of your work. Both cardio and heavy weights

From what I understand, cynical doesn't mean a lack of truth. So when you say it is cynical, what you are saying is that cynicism shouldn't be allowed.

After reading I think you are blowing this out of proportion by stating that "it says it all". There is a section there about his political beliefs and he says his main belief is that tech-monopolies should be broken down and society should be governed on a smaller scale. I think half of HN readers would agree with some version of that. And about "the SJWs" - he only says that people are asking him to make video about them and he is not going to do that.

Maybe I don't know what alt-right is but I don't see how this is alt-right. Just because he uses the term "SJW" ? I don't use it but I know what it means. You apparently do also. That doesn't make us alt-right, right?
A week? Well, how much time do you expect to spend typing over the next 10 years...?

It took about a month or two to adapt IIRC. I would suggest to remap and reconfigure some keys/layout after observing your actual usage. Also change a few uncomfortable application key combos and relearn, especially if you're not using a US layout.

Reprogramming (swapping) keys is easy, but I admit it was a big hassle to also keep a custom layout synced/working between Windows and Linux over the years. But it's great once it's done.

By now I'm owning three kinesis advantage, one at the office, one at home, and one to make sure I never have to type on a flat keyboard ever again if anything breaks. I get RSI just from looking at those.

I also tried a fully split (freestyle2) keyboard, but it didn't work for me. I think it was the lack of the bowl shape.
