I think paracetamol is also used to lower fevers which are more common in little kids. Does aspirin also serve that function? I think it doesn't.

Yes, I forgot that I had a European point of view. Here we don't usually apply to graduate schools, we apply to specific positions where advisors and topics are already chosen, so the reputation of the school itself takes a backseat.

Not so simple. People like cheap goods.
It was a fun game, but I don't understand the comments stating it was so novel. It was basically a clone of banjo & kazooie themed using the already created awesome universe of DK from the super NES. Basically a patchwork of copies.

Honestly, the very first one was a lot more innovative:

- completely original licence, with terrific characters, world design and music composition

- incredible graphisms pushing the limit of what the console could do

- new gameplay mecanisms everywhere: dual play, animals, barrels...

- humour a the center of platformer for the first time

The 64 version just reused that. I have to assume this was amazing for the people that started the serie with this one, because while it was nice, it's probably the least remarkable of the whole serie.

It's like when everybody told me how good Mass Effect was, the pinnacle of RPG. Then I played it and was stunned people enjoyed it so much. It was a far cry from even classic titles of 10 years before. Linear, bad UI, lacking combat system and a scenario ripping off Babylon 5. But then I realized: if this is your first big RPG, then yes, it makes sense.

So if it was, indeed, your first DK and you haven't played D&K, then playing the rest may feel backward. And you enjoyed all the goodness in one big shot.
Is showing a banner ad really abuse?

Sometimes I feel like ad block users get overzealous and try to convince themselves and others that every ad out there is trying to inject malware into your machine. Very few ads do this and the average person who doesn't use AdBlock won't ever have that happen to them. Ads solve an economic distribution problem by cutting the transaction of spreading and consuming information in half. It makes the web accessible.
(esp in termux), how do you find typing and editing? Is the delay noticeable, or does it disappear after you get used to it?
Well, fortunately Hacker News doesn't employ the same "fact checking" service as Facebook or YouTube.

There was a very important article on what to do if pulled over by an unmarked police car in the UK. FB's fact checker marked it as "false" because it didn't apply to the US.

> If we lose the lead in the things we export, what else do we have to sell the world?

The US is a massive importer and exporter but as a percentage of the US economy it’s relatively small compared to export lead economies like China, Japan, Europe etc. It’s not that being globally competitive isn’t an issue, it’s just not an immediate existential issue for America. Especially as we continue to have the biggest most productive contiguous agricultural region in the world with the cheapest transport and no major security concerns; close to the cheapest oil and nat gas which has lead to the cheapest global production of many industrial inputs. Combined with the global baby bust leading to record rapidly aging population means that the US is on top for some time.

Is Electron That Bad?
I've read every possible thread here and in Reddit regarding Electron. I'm perfectly aware of the drawbacks and reasons people hate Electron. But nevertheless lets bring this topic one more time and this time try to focus on a real example (mine) rather than hypothetical discussion.

I have an idea for an application. It a desktop application. So I'm not porting it from web app nor I plan to make it a web app any time in the future. It being a desktop app is my first selling point.

My second selling point is it being as snappy and as productive as possible. Therefore I try to focus much on keyboard shortcuts, intuitive UI/UX (even though its incredibly hard for me since I'm a developer and not UI/UX engineer).

I'm perfectly aware of proper separation between business logic and presentation layer, know how to use FFI, IPC and other methods to call from UI to a shared BL.

And last but not least - I'm a solo developer. With 0$ funding. Doing this in my free time and eager to make money from it and reach as bigger audience as possible.

Now, given all that, lets try to evaluate my options.

1) Non native cross platform frameworks. This includes QT, JavaFX/Swing, Flutter and others. While they are probably more snappier than Electron apps, you can't really call them native. A lot of the criticism of Electron in terms of UI/UX, can be directed at those as well.

2) Native. This means I need to develop at least 2 different UIs to capture 98% of the market, and being a former Linux user and understanding the struggle of lack of good apps in Linux, I can't ignore that platform. So 3 times the development time, 3 times the bug fixes, 3 times the support.

3) Electron. We all know this one.

While I agree that big companies like Slack, Microsoft or Spotify can (and should) invest money in proper app development for each platform; solo developers like me, rarely have the luxury to do so. So I'm left with either choosing one platform to focus on (in my case its Mac since I'm a Mac user) and ignoring all others (at least for now) or settle on semi-native solutions.

I'm a perfectionist and I have a vision. But because I'm a power user, doesn't mean everybody else is like me. So to all the people who say that Electron is not native and breaks their UI/UX - is this really an issue among non power users, or is it just us, developers, being frustrated (and I share this frustration) over minor issues like keyboard shortcuts or lack of native Mac text fields?
I remember finding Bufferin actually but I didn’t understand the long ingredients list so never tried it.
I think you've got it backwards. The whole reason the trillion dollar industry of ad targeting exists is so companies can find the people that want what they're offering.

> I might understand this incorrectly, but doesn't it also mean that American businesses have a greater market to sell to?

"American" companies aren't always entirely owned by Americans. Sometimes they get purchased outright by foreign conglomerates or shareholders (eg. Anheuser-Busch) or take on foreign investment (eg. SoftBank). Once they're public, lots of entities can own the stock.

Labor doesn't have to be based in the US. Wages go overseas all the time. Your iPhone is manufactured abroad. Amazon hires lots of non-American programmers.

I could see centering the running-window icons, but the Start button should still be in a corner. This is day 1 UX design stuff-- the corners are effectively infinitely large click targets, ensuring quick and reliable access. The Apple menu has been in a corner since 1984 for a reason.
I have a lot of nostalgia for PCI sound cards from the late 90's and early 2000's. That being said, I am happy that PC audio has been simplified to just minimally buffered DACs and ADCs, or a digital interconnect. Things actually just work without having to futz with ugly skinned proprietary software.
> Something that has always surprised me a bit is how many developers want to run their own large companies.

I am surprised at how few of them do, considering how low the barriers of entry to company making in tech are (compared to other industries with heavy requirements in space, equipment, expertise and regulations)

So I am also surprised at your experience. Most devs I know just wanna code.
Performance per clock cycle was much better on 68k. I understood that they lost out because the world adopted DOS and DOS run only on x86. Then... consequences. The only surviving platform that used to run on 68k is the Mac, which was a minor player even at the time.
Are these all tracked? Because when I buy something from the us it's always expensive shipping and tracked. Some sellers told me it's necessary so it would actually arrive. (It was mostly art, so I am not sure if this is actually normal).

Tracked letters are like 4-5 times as expensive for me, which doesn't make sense for an average order of like $20 :/

I don't see anything much that's non-obvious here.

- Go small to go big = It's easier to be CEO in a smaller company. Kind of obvious.

- Inherit a Big Mess = It's easier to be CEO in a situation where nobody wants to be CEO. Kind of obvious, too.

- Make a big leap = Take risky bets, in which case you're not represented in the sample of CEOs when they don't play out.
Yeah, I realized that just after I posted my reply. As usr1106 mentioned, the solution would be to always use square brackets. It would take up more space, but I think it would still be better for at least two reasons:

• Even with the brackets, it always takes the same or fewer keypresses (no need to press shift).

• It's easier to tell when the address starts and ends. This is helpful when you get into odd addresses like "xxxx::xxxx.192.168.123.234", or "::1", or "::". The versions [xxxx--xxxx.192.168.123.234], [--1], and [--] look nicer and more obvious, at least to me.

But of course this is all silly to go over now, decades after the decision. We'll save these changes for IPv8! :-P
As you mentioned, TSLA's last public offering was in 2020.

2020 was a significant shift in the company as it became profitable ex-ZEV credits. Future public offerings are unlikely absent major changes in the company's fundamentals.

Stock based comp is a standard cost of business in most large tech companies; given how badly TSLA is been beating competitors (esp in the context of the chip shortage), it seems to paying off.
I wanted to get one as a replacement for paper books, but the price is really high for what it is. I also noticed that the community is very patient about getting basic features. The rm2 still struggles with ebook typesetting. Boox was incredibly hard to import to Germany.

After a year on the fence, I bought the latest iPad Mini, and it's much better. You can choose different pen tools, pick colours, zoom in and out, rotate the canvas, undo, add layers, import a PDF to draw on, use a photo as a reference, use a color picker, send stuff to yourself and others. The undo and tool switching actions are brilliantly simple. Procreate is a device seller on its own. It's the first device I purchased in a while, and it frankly blows my mind.

As a reader, it's also more versatile. I use Google Reader, which syncs pages with my phone.

I still wanted it to be a focused device, so it's mostly disconnected from my online life. It only has ebook, note taking and drawing apps. No messaging, emails, calendar or anything of the sort. I can't overstate how much I love it as paper replacement so far.
What you say may be right, but it's not really related to the parent's complaint.

If you run a stripped-down distro of Linux, running only the bare minimum, no service listening for anything, no service reporting on anything, etc, the issue still stands if the user needs the beefy hardware for beefy actual work. Say they're working on some big project in a compiled language from the middle of nowhere with unreliable internet, so they can't offload compiling to someone else's computer. Or they're into video, etc.

There are many use cases for a laptop with strong specs. Not everyone has such a use. But the fact is that high-powered components stuck in a small enclosure will have a bad time with thermals.
Haha yeah, the ones how end up on top always think they made bold moves, while the others didn't.

It is exactly as you said, survivor bias and nothing else.
Maybe it is better to elaborate the point really being made, the thing that motivates that people need to tone these things down. People need to be mature enough to accept and be prepared for the fact that the employer that provides them an income can go under and leadership has failed to articulate issues in the company in a timely manner.

The "love bombing" doesn't help, but, of course, they are hiring and retention techniques. I think it is similar to an ideological propaganda that has led to wars. Whether you accept the 'mission' or not, you're out of control in the end unless you are the leadership. When this stuff does come up, at best, all I can do is ignore it, particularly aware of the fact that I worked at a company for a long time, like my current employment and surviving a layoff, company restructures, etc.

Maturing from "my co-workers are my family and we are doing great things" to just seeing it as a job is probably the best thing to do. I hope that instead of raging against this CEO, upset employees instead receive both gainful employment again and a sense that a company is just a company.
Interesting comment from gwern on a discussion over on reddit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/slatestarcodex/comments/q01gwl/comm...
> The earliest programming languages already had them.

I'm not sure which programming language you're referring to, but as you may see in the video I posted elsewhere in this thread, the notion of computer algorithms predate transistors by a few centuries, and the notion of computability, the groundwork for types, predates transistors by a few decades.

The first people that had a stab at it were logicians, and they were used to some abstractions that probably felt as natural as code to you, while the concept of compilation wouldn't exist for another half-century.

> I have been coding for over 40 years and I have a Ph.D. in computer science, so I'm not a complete idiot. But so far no one has been able to explain to me what that thing is that I'm missing in terms that I can understand. That is what I am complaining about.

If you're looking for scientists to popularize breaking research work, you're probably barking up the wrong tree. You'll find plenty of accessible work explaining modern type systems (e.g. f# for fun and profit), it's just that this work didn't exist when scientists set about to solve this problem.
I find it somewhat odd you post this exact comment underneath the article as well. Feels like a shameless plug advertisement.

While uncommon, Aspirin can cause Reye syndrome in children, which can lead to death or cause permanent disability.

Paracetamol does not cause such harmful effects if used as directed. It definitely should be used as a first-line treatment (if needed) in case of fever or pain.

Edit: typo
But it doesn't.

It says they had sub-transactions, not what caused them. Nothing in the article gives concrete details on specific code or logic that was contributing to the issue. The entire "Why would you use a SAVEPOINT?" should have been replaced with "Why we were using SAVEPOINT".

Personally, I was hoping for the post to dig into a specific example and explain why transactions were used in the first place (justification) or why removing transactions or sub-transactions had no negative impact on data integrity.
Got it. I see a classic launch problem coming your way. How do you attract the first set of content creators, when there aren't any content consumers? Have you given this a thought?
I was always a natural leader up until graduating from college. Had plenty of volunteer leadership roles, but never any roles officially employed as a manager. Then after graduating, I suddenly found I could make far more money as an individual software enginneer than my peers were making in management roles at local companies, so I've been chasing the money for the last decade. But it feels like a bit of a dead end in terms of career accomplishments, and I'd like to shift back into leadership roles, but after a decade of structured roles writing instructions for machines, the relatively unfixed day-to-day responsibilities of management, and strategic thinking about people and more "squishy" things than computers, feels foreign to me. I don't know how to change my mindset back to that.

This is a better introduction to Nix than the official one. One minor nit:

> Functional languages are composed of functions that take some input and produce some output. Every time a function is executed with a given input, it will return the same output.

Surely that is a property of pure languages, not functional ones. Maybe there are no pure imperative languages but I don't see why you couldn't have one. In fact it would probably make way more sense for Nix given how much easier imperative languages are to understand.
Which is a funny thing to say because creators are results focused and not technology focused, so the likelihood that they would install this system is practically zero compared to ie consumers, who can still browse the web or watch movies without the big AAAA software suites.

Putting aside developers, who might use this.
As a counterpoint, embryotox says that the studies linking paracetamol to genital defects show only weak correlations and are of questionable quality [1]. The links to ADHS etc are apparently even more tenuous -- one study apparently even found a correlation between ADHS and paracetamol use by the father during pregnancy (how would that work?).

> If ARM china "steals" ARM ip, ARM is still capable of licensing to it's western clients;

If the smartphone market is an indicator, too bad that this will just mean that the majority of OEMs will just buy their chips from ARM china and thus demand for ARM IP will expectedly drop, and meanwhile this IP appropriation will just be used to develop independent design capabilities.
It is also the only surviving C++ toolkit from C++ GUI Frameworks from the 1990's.

Microsoft can talk as much as they feel like from using WinUI from C++, but their C++ loving team club just messed up the whole tooling. Don't touch it unless feeling nostalgic about using ATL tooling from 2000's.

C++ Builder is great, but given its history and Windows focus, naturally only an option for enterprises with deep pockets.

wxWidgets and JUCE were never part of OS stacks.

Qt is really the only one left, with a quite cool development experience.

I am also migrating my last C++/WinRT endeavour into Qt LTS 6.2, ironically so, as it was originally started on Qt 5.0. :)

> but that won't be for long given the pace of China

China is about to run straight into a population wall, and is a kleptocracy that has funded itself off of the economic boom of transitioning from developing to developed economy - but it never developed the type of institutions to limit corruption which are needed to be a rich, developed economy.

Everything you see with censorship and social credit scores is geared towards one thing: pre-oppress the population to try and not be annihilated when the growth rate slows down to the point the trade off in freedoms is not worth it. The move towards a dictatorship is also a problem since dictatorships generally perform extremely badly economically if they're not resource economies that are independent of the treatment and quality of the labor.
If I recall correctly, liver damage is often because of the liver's ability to regrow. Small bits of damage to liver cells cause the liver to grow massive amounts of scar tissue which ultimately leads to failure of liver functions.
