Yes, just come closer to the clusterfuck the rest of us have. In every country most people say “healthcare in this country is a mess”, and yet, my best experiences with healthcare have been in the US.
Tesla's mission statement is “To accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy.”. Even if this bill gives advantages to its competitors, Tesla wins, as electric cars get adopted faster. Also it's a huge global company at this point with lots of ammo to start lobbying, so I'm not worried about it at all.

Do "for" and "while" constructs also seem silly? After all they "compile to a loop" as well.

The purpose of all these loop constructs is to place constraints on some essential aspect of the loop up front, thus narrowing the possible range of effects of that wicked goto, by encoding common patterns. "For" loops guarantee the number of iterations. "While" loops guarantee the exit condition. And tail recursion guarantees what state gets modified in the loop.

It is strange the way you say "better off doing it in a loop". As you say, it is a loop. What construct would you prefer? GOTO?

I feel I have to defend Bitcoin a bit here - its not like the Bitcoin fork most popular today, "Bitcoin," is the result of just purism - there are legimitate reasons for stick with small blocks, namely, optimizing for decentralization which is pretty important for the pilot run of crypto in a world where corps would love to have control over these protocols.

Of course BCH folks would say that corps have hypnotized the BTC community and convinced them that small blocks are good, when in reality they just want to cripple it so it can't compete with traditional payment methods. The main issue I take with BCH folks is they act like smaller blocks are worthless - if they at least addressed the merits with some earnestness it would be easier to see them as rational in their reasoning.

You could still apply Group Policy’s to later versions of IE as well. So that wasn’t the reason. It was more to do with corporate apps being tied to specific versions of IE due to later versions of IE having breaking changes in the way it rendered content vs earlier versions of IE.

Those of us who remember web development in the 90s and early 00s will vouch for how the pain wasn’t just supporting different rendering engines, but even different versions of the same rendering engine.

> QML spoiled me, as React in comparison is quite clunky, so I'm not really sure where your post is coming from.

My post comes from my personal and professional experience developing Qt applications with C++, which unfortunately already spans over a decade.

Given you only mentioned QML, which is a relatively new addition whose adoption rate is still negligible, my guess is that you've never worked with C++ projects that use Qt's widgets.
That depends on the axiom of choice. From a constructive POV, this means you would have to introduce some sort of extra assumptions to the theorem itself. (The axiom of choice is also inconsistent with some popular extensions to constructive mathematics, so Banach-Tarski simply cannot apply to those mathematical objects.)
Great tip, I am only 1 hours drive away. Look great - I fancy the walks. Have you done a stay over or a walk or something else (treehouse) ?
Music is a different thing(I'm also a subscriber), I'm talking videos specifically. I'm sorry but the fact that I have to go through a minute of ads for every 4 minutes of videos watched is absurd. The worst thing I've had to endure was Antena 3 in Spain in terms of content-to-ads ratio. At this point if we include sponsored messages in videos, I'm willing to bet the ratio is worse on youtube.

This is going to sound cynical but what you suggest doesn’t make money so there’ll never be such campaign in US unless there’s a way to make more money out of it compared to the current state of things - which is very difficult. The entire health care industry and policies in US are atrocious.
Amen to this. These days us old folk are mocked for saying stuff like this but the pain was very real and a very deliberate corporate strategy by Microsoft too. I’ll never trust another Microsoft browser again.

Honestly, how? Charm is one thing but some people might consider other more physical means. I'm not familiar with any story but I never payed much attention to Marissa Mayer's carrier to be frank.
Hi, I am the creator of that app - "these" surely are not the new to-do list apps for devs, but everyone got their own requirements.

It's quite cynical/rude to say that these only exists because of being a replacement of hello world/todo apps - which is essentially what I take from your comment.

linked received are few thousand downloads so far, despite me not doing much marketing at all and the app being pretty much still in pre-release (certain features are still missing, such as a search and UX not being where I want it to be).

Seems like there is a need for such tools and I invite you to look at it beyond the surface as this app is not just a note taking app. Not to say I've created something revolutionary, at it's core it's a journal app for day based note taking - a hybrid of a calendar with text editing features.

I'd like to thank OP for sharing the site, even if the website is not really ready to be shown just yet - before the launch I do want to make it better as it's lacking basic information.

Lastly a quick backstory as to why this app exists: Me and my colleagues where looking for a tool at work to write down what we had done throughout a sprint - as everytime in our retro meeting, we had a hard time remembering important things throughout the two weeks of working.

So we started to look for basic note taking apps, all of us tried different solutions for a couple of weeks but nothing really satisfied us. Therefore I sat down on a friday evening to quickly wip up a prototype to be shown on the next monday. My colleagues and I loved it and that was the start of the app 6 months ago. Since then I am putting time into it as much as I can to make it less of a generic note taking app.

I am all ears for critique and feedback as that helps me further progress with the app. If anyone wants to, I'd especially love if someone could help me with the "marketing" based text about linked, since i think the current slogan isn't really that good.

Thanks for your comment ChrisArchitect.
Empsa – European Mobile Payment Systems Association
I personally feel like I've just been smacked in the face with a dump truck full of syntax that I don't even barely understand, and I've used FP before. It probably actually is simple but for me, I need a bit more explanation
Well, I did found a few studies on the topic, but would not call it having overwhelming evidence so you may be right.

I couldn’t make as good a job as the linked article, but what other explanation could you give on the very real difference between the racial composition of scientific geniuses vs the “average” people (define the former as you prefer)? Because one definition (number of Nobel prize winners) will definitely wake racist explanations. The article very clearly goes into several possible explanations, rejecting most of them.

It was not the particular school, nor the city, Jewish cultural heritage could have an effect but afaik not every Jewish Nobel prize winner held strictly onto religious traditions (though still, it is a standing possible explanation, especially with a strong view on the importance of education as culture doesn’t stop at religion). Being of higher class families definitely correlates with every sorts of success, but it is not specific to Jewish people.

So I’m still not bought on the environment-only explanation. Of course it is never only nature or nurture for complex situations, but a more “fertile ground” for studying will amplify other nurture effects as well.

I’m writing all these as a non-Jewish Hungarian though, so my thoughts are definitely not from nationalism or racism, but more from a form of awe (though I agree that positive discrimination/bias may also be problematic)

Your point actually proves that, advertising gets the customer through the door, but, your product needs to be actually decent to keep the customer.You saw the advertisement, you bought the product and it worked as described, and continued to work in that way in the future.

The product is successful not because of advertising, because it is actually good. I find it weird that, most people spend huge on advertising, but sometimes neglect the product.
> whom was Jewish.

Biased sample indeed. The brilliant scientists who had no reason to flee didn’t and it’s not surprising the reasons to flee are over represented in a sample taken from those who did.

I also suspect a lot of Jewish Hungarians who fled were not brilliant scientists, just rich or talented enough to afford escaping.

“we've grown our headcount about 110%, while our diversity numbers have remained the same, or even improved on some metrics.”

I have no strong feelings on Instagram. That said, i find it interesting how suddenly people care about teen mental health when it aligns with their opinions on big tech. And how little they care about (say) school shooting drills or advertising or education funding or a dozen other issues that affect mental health in kids...

I think one of the issues is because librarians work with things that have been made and do not change. The catalogues also traditionally did not change, but there's no reason now why this should be the case.

If we look at wikidata or openstreetmap for example the way things are categorised changes and evolve, some things stay the same, new things get added, some things get deprecated, and bots or humans can update existing records and machines can handle any deprecations

Far better then to start simple, get adoption and update records as you go, I think.
> That changes the political and migration dynamics significantly.

Irina Shayk Is a Superhero at the Thierry Mugler Exhibition in Paris
“If it works” is kind of important to determine, though. From what I’ve seen, LN frequently doesn’t work and transactions fail for unknown reasons (offline nodes, no route, liquidity issues, inability to open new channels with peers, etc.). The “solution” to LN’s problems right now appears to be custodial, centralized wallet providers, but that defeats the purpose of using Bitcoin. For example, Twitter is using Strike for tipping, but that wallet is custodial and requires KYC to use. That’s not aligned with what Bitcoin is supposed to be, IMO.
Yes. LiberaPay made it easy enough and I like those projects.

Learning Gradient Fields for Molecular Conformation Generation
To be fair PostgreSQL 15 years ago also had a lot of problems storing data reliability. Some of them manifested as performance issues. I also heard a fair number of war stories about corruption with "large" databases (e.g., 1TB+). PG replication lagged MySQL for many years as well. These seem to be non-issues today.

At this point there's effectively no difference in the durability of data stored in MySQL or PostgreSQL, so it's hard to argue that one or the other made a better choice. They just got there by different paths.

In fact, PostgreSQL is winning back share in part because of licensing. GPLv2 is limiting for a lot of applications, and there continue to be concerns about Oracle ownership. It's also absorbed a lot of features from other databases like JSON support. That's not special to PostgreSQL though. It's been a trend since the beginning for SQL RDBMS and explains why they have stayed on top of the OLTP market for decades.

Your own habits aren’t everyone’s habits. Not everyone is on a two-year upgrade cycle, especially when the iPhones are worth near or above $1000 now. Many people who own a smartphone only have it at all thanks to the affordable prices of refurbished (i.e. repaired) units on the second-hand market. It’s silly to say repair is unimportant when you consider how many tons of waste this creates - and how little is actually recovered through the recycling processes Apple and other retailers push hard to make you not feel bad about upgrading. It’s eventually someone’s problem to deal with how unrepairable your disused phone is, ultimately depleting the raw resources we all rely on, so yes, you should care.

Silicate minerals can do it in thousands of years, and much faster with some human assistance.
Really? The unions hold a lot of power, even today. That’s why the federal and California vaccine mandates have huge carve outs for the unions. The Democrats know who butters their bread and they’re willing to give them a pass knowing they’ll retain their votes next election.
I hear your argument as "there exist dynamically typed languages therefore the benefits of typing don't matter". To be positive I'll say that it's better than the pendulum argument.

I'm aware that there exist dynamically typed languages in which large projects are written, I'm saying that they would be better off with type safety.
Also I have to point out that although SpaceX has very competitive prices for market contracts there seems to be a different services and pricing scheme for government contracts.

This is not unique in the industry to some extent but since SpaceX has no published audits competitors claim they overcharge the government.

I highly recommend the Cisco material.

I learned IPv4 from blog posts written by people who read other blog posts and HOWTOs. It worked because I came along when everyone had (and needed) the experience.

IPv6 is harder because it’s the upgrade path, not a necessity. For that, I needed good professional source material. As do you: treat yourself!
What's interesting is that this number matches very closely with the recorded excess mortality: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/cumulative-excess-deaths-... - for those who think the COVID-19 death numbers are artificially blown up.
The sanctions are the biggest factor and it's often external influences that force politicians to enact populistic policies as a massive bandaid that are then interpreted as socialism. The bandaid isn't the problem, it's the wound.
>Mathematics has a similar problem

Really??? you want to do a search and replace all Math text
Like replace(" = " , " is equal ") ???

I think that abstraction is a feature we intelligent animals have, it makes the text easy to read and understand, , and much faster, the only downsides is people like you that can't jump over the introduction and just go to the interesting chapter.

Though if I misunderstood you I wish to see how your suggested Math looks like, how you can just jump at random location and read and still understand stuff and how equations without one letter symbols look like.
End of the line for Japan's only all-double-decker 'Max' E4 series bullet train
The excruciating detail here is commendable.

The sciences are also very much like this, particularly life sciences, physics and chemistry.

The article doesn’t go into it much, but another important question to ask oneself is why are you doing it. The answer, for most students and I daresay most tenured academics, is generally vanity. Putting aside the consequences of this vanity, which may of course include curing cancer and unravelling the nature of the universe, being motivated by vanity will almost always end badly for the individual. A lot of nonsensical academic behaviour (the perverse devotion to prestige, the viciousness, the obviously harmful publish or perish mentality, acquiescing to exploitative closed source publication models) can be explained if you accept academics are motivated mainly by vanity.
It only counts as working if you are ok with a giant pile of hacks and pain. Ever had to debug NAT-related SIP issues? Not fun. A lot of protocols fell out of favor, because they poorly interact with NAT (and stupid corporate firewall rules on the other hand so everything gets tunneled via https now..).

And wanting inbound connections is really not that strange a request. Maybe I want to host some website at home? How about a weather station/other IoT..
How about multiplayer gaming?

There are so many things that would benefit from being able to poke some holes in the firewall. With carrier grade NAT becoming more and more common you can forget about that, since you have no control over their infrastructure to forward any ports.
Serious question from a non-American: is this actually possible?

There are lots of reasons to oppose this bill; why assume climate change is the only reason? And if it's fair to assume the opposition is to the portion of these taxes and regulations meant to address climate change, why assume the opposition is to efforts to remediate climate change writ large when the opposition might just be to these specific measures?

Also, why is explicitly political stuff, let alone badly written political stuff, of particular interest to the people who read hacker news? Is it a pun on hack journalism? If so, well. I get it. Kinda.

Racism is always a stick. The same reasoning that would say Ashkenazis are smarter than the general population can be used to say the general population is less intelligent, or valuable.

Humanity is immensely diverse and our tools to measure value are extremely flawed and unreliable.

Let’s not forget there are probably many Tellers and Von Neumanns that never got to university because they couldn’t afford it and are now tending tables to pay for rent. It doesn’t make them any less valuable or talented. It just makes them less successful and visible.
