The problem with this line of thought is that it always becomes something for "the other" to do.

They need to compromise, they need to calm down, they need to love. And as long as they don't, we don't have to.

Not to mention those that equate compromise, civility, and love with getting their way without any sort of criticism. Then there's the issues where compromise isn't an option. If you want to kill everyone on the planet, and I don't want you to kill anyone. Killing half the planet isn't really a compromise I'm willing to entertain.

So sweet, I'm sure if we all loved each other and treated each other with respect, we'd all ride rainbows and shit ponies or whatever. But when we can't even agree on what love and respect even means, it's just kind of abstract, philosophical masturbation.
You'd have a point if it was just git. Issue tracker, PR interface, wiki / documentation tools, actions/webhooks, etc. - that's where Github demonstrates its utility.
I don't think aggression has much to do with the factual content of the replies. Just because people reply to you angrily about an issue that is near and dear to them doesn't mean you can talk about them dismissively like this.
Exactly. People like the parent make themselves crazy thinking they need to be the expert at absolutely everything. You don't. Learn your fundamentals, and learn how to learn. All of these front-end frameworks, that's just tech. All of them do the same thing in slightly different ways. You'll work in a team anyway, someone will be good at something, someone will be good at another thing.

Keep going and keep building!! <3
I am totally encouraged by this report. The sentence that really gets me from a companion paper linked below:

"Cellulose, the main component of wood, has a higher ratio of strength to density than most engineered materials, like ceramics, metals, and polymers, but our existing usage of wood barely touches its full potential."

It's just a beginning, but a good one. Hard to see HW replacing the myriad things we use steel or ceramics for, but intriguing.
As rational adults we need to rely more on data and actual claims than vibes we are (mis?)interpreting. When we fail to do so we can't blame others.

The data was splashed in front of us. We can't even claim it was hidden. Efficacy and uncertainty regarding how the vaccine would save us from COVID was analyzed in the media at length.

Even still, happy to review any links to those implications if you have any because I didn't infer from government/media/research/industry that vaccines were a quick "get out of jail free" card.

It's perversely linear with respect to the largest element in the array, if that's greater than the runtime of the underlying heapsort. Good luck with negative entries.

Response to dead comment:

> Couldn't this be solved by scaling everything by the largest entry. Of course that requires first a pass to find the largest entry but that's not as expensive?

One presumes that we don't have infinite precision timers, so you should only scale it down so the smallest gap between elements is a few clock cycles (unless you're satisfied with breaking the fiction that sleepsort is not heapsort). This seems like a mildly interesting question. My intuition is that finding the smallest abs(a[i]-a[j]) with i != j should be just as hard as sorting the list on a classical computer, but it seems like a quantum computer might find the smallest gap faster.
There aren't sides! I'm not on your side, I don't even know you. No one here owes you anything.

You're saying "you must woo me to do the right thing" and it's complete garbage (you've already admitted OP is "probably right"). If you're going to vote out of spite because people aren't "taking a chill pill" you can go pound sand. I'm tired of this "you didn't tell me in the perfect way, so I'm right and you're wrong" reductive nonsense.
I think I'd have to see numbers on that (and those numbers are hard to build out without falling prey to a "No True Scotsman" fallacy).

Virginia currently has a Democrat legislature for the first time in two decades, and it's paired with a Democrat governor for the first time I can remember. Either there was a massive demographic churn or someone switched sides. (Anecdotally: I have family in Virginia, and a lot of lifelong GOP voters in my family looked at the party's double- and triple-down support of Trump and went "Whatever this party is, it's not my GOP").
I’m sure Tesla has done a good job but it doesn’t make much sense to compare them to the behemoths because it’s much easier to navigate the shortages as a low volume (but still high priority) manufacturer. If everyone gets shorted 5% of their order for some part, Tesla might have to go source a few tens* of thousands of parts in the gray market to close the shortfall. GM would have to find hundreds of thousands… that amount of product might simply be unavailable.
It’s probably worth noting that the backwards compatibility breaking changes I think only applies to the language and not the standard library. I’m unable to look up the details right now but I believe there’s a trait function defined in stdlib which is deprecated, supersede, but can’t be removed even as part of an Edition, or it would break older code.
the problem is that biometrics aren't really proof of unique human, they can be traded or harvested from others (or probably generated by a computer)
We could just accept that AI is incredibly pervasive and doesn’t require computers (for instance, autopilot in planes were invented in 1914).
I don’t follow the logic. Saying something is whataboutism isn’t recursive.
> Denial of the science of intelligence differences, the relevance of intelligence in life outcomes and how heritable it is.

> Belief without evidence that black/white racial differences in outcome are completely due to modern systemic racism and not partly due to a byproduct of cultural differences

I think what you're describing is that a lot of liberals and leftists are opposed to the use of science to justify what they would probably consider racist beliefs. They might point to the use of scientific racism in the past as a reason not to repeat such mistakes. They might also question the intentions of the (disproportionately white) people who tend to focus obsessively on these issues to the exclusion of many others.
> Is he legitimately without a single person close to him that could inform him of how misguided this line of aggression is,

I've said it elsewhere and I'll repeat it here. People like Parsons who climb to positions of power think of security in terms of power, not technology. It's a sort of security-because-I-say-so mindset, which is more like what technologists would probably call "classified information". For a person of that mindset, calling it "secure" means that accessing it at all is a security violation, unless that person has clearance.

From the point of view of a person who sees security as "it's sensitive information because someone says so" accessing it without clearance is punishable, and I think that's where Parson and his ilk are working.

Even if Parson has someone close enough to him to explain the difference between security by technical means and security by declaration, the governor could still conclude, from his mindset, that a violation occurred because of the sensitive nature of the information.

As far as I know, neither Missouri nor any other state has anything like US federal-level information classification laws, for which a person can be found in violation and prosecuted even if they didn't have to overcome any technical security measures to access the information. But that doesn't seem to deter Parson from acting like there's an actual breach of law, according to his understanding. But someone could, possibly, reach the governor through explaining that there's no state law about sensitive information, and perhaps he would back down, although it might motivate him to push for laws that would look more like security clearance regulations.
> Using the example above, I became aware of it because someone that I follow re-tweeted Tweet number 47 in this ridiculously long thread. Because it was a random Tweet in a very long thread, I (and I imagine most other people reading the tweet) had absolutely no context as to what the whole saga was about.

How is that different from taking a screenshot or posting an extract of a blog post, with a link to it?

> I’ve some really interesting threads on Twitter that are full of useful information, but as a consumer of that content, it’s a nightmare to follow. Content creators should make content as simple to consume as possible.

If you're already on twitter, reading a thread is easier than going to a blog and reading it.
Arthur Brooks is speaking out now to get ahead of the shitstorm that people like Arthur Brooks created for themselves by being contemptuous of the rank and file American worker for decades. It's all peace and love and respect now that he's made a comfortable life for himself. And in typical AEI fashion, he's got a sense of history that mayflies would find appalling.

Politicians are disagreeing and failing to use nonsensical phrases like "my good friend from <insert location here>?" Anybody want to recite Alexander Hamilton's memoirs of his genial political disputes with Aaron Burr?
Great to see this shift!

I’d be curious to hear about the comparison to https://reflect.run — I can imagine that access to the tester community is a piece of that…
It isn't clear to me what you are saying. Are you saying we are doomed because he's a conservative or because you have no faith we retain the ability love?
It is absolutely anti-science and anti-intellectual. To prosecute this person relies on destroying a meaningful distinction, which is the distinction between computer hacking and security research. "Why were you poking around the website? Developer Tools? Why were you using Developer Tools?" The governor is saying you should do what the government says rather than thinking for yourself.
Wow this post triggered some serious PTSD. A previous employer got bit hard by Sentry's PHP SDK, which still (to my knowledge) has unresolved serious bugs. It was used as collateral by me and some coworkers to convince the powers that be to jump ship to a competitor, along with other serious problems with the platform.

I too wish they'd invest in fixing their own broken libraries.
Rosetta 2 is Apple's product that is specifically geared towards translating Darwin binaries. Inside the VM is standard Linux. Linux can't run Rosetta 2 since that is a macOS tool.

QEMU emulates a platform on the fly, it does not attempt to rewrite the code to run on ARM and cache that result. QEMU also emulates all the specific quirks of the x86_64 platform, whereas Rosetta 2 does not.

It would be neat if Apple open sourced their Rosetta 2 technology and made it more widely available, but at this time there is no option for 3rd parties to use Rosetta 2, especially from within a Linux VM.
Can being a loyal Democrat or Republican diminishes your influence? It feels to me that most parties try much harder to please the undecideds than their base
Words like "your side" and "your camp" don't exactly de-escalate here. BTW I'm not trying to avoid making it a partisan issue, on the contrary.

About that sense of superiority, it is relative to a pretty low bar, when people prioritize whether a person is on their side even over whether the person is right.

The clustering of inane views amongst a particular identifiable group of people is fascinating. And inane views happen on both sides. I find it super interesting to see how each side chooses which bonkers views they do, and how they line up.

Especially interesting is when they are not self consistent. For example, "my body, my rules," which is adopted by both sides in different contexts (abortion and vaccinations) both of which arguably are issues that involve personal choice but that also (again, arguably) affect the well being of others.

Finding the partisan alignments amongst these things is super interesting and should not be a third rail (meaning an untouchable topic) in discussions, imho.
What are some of the most important lessons you learned in building out Rainforest as a self-serve freemium product after building Rainforest as a more enterprise-focused product to start?

Brooks is literally against wealth redistribution. The parent comment is very relevant for this individual.
One reason for the framing (when used by a senior person or someone in authority) is to give permission to more junior people who may be holding back on their own questions because they are afraid of looking bad.

1. Pay people to build a global iris scan database

2. Buy stock in rapid-acquisition iris scanners (I heard about 10 years ago that there were open-air scanners that could acquire 50 irises per minute, from a startup that wanted to use it for identification in an IoT setting)

3. Sell iris database to oppressive governments

4. Profit

Facebook price/earnings is ~25. How is that an absurd market valuation?

I don't think this xcheck system is designed to appease the most toxic influencers unless you consider people like Cristiano Ronaldo or Ariana Grande toxic.
You can see how well that's working with SafetyNet right now. Rooted phones can't even use Snapchat.
> and it seems you have some gripes with how we do that

Actually, I have a gripe with the fact you left unpaid volunteers to deal with an angry customer. I have a gripe with the fact you just left an emjoi response when a volunteer pointed out they were volunteers and weren't getting paid. I have a gripe with the fact I gave them greive for several replies in hope that a Sentry employee would finally step in and the company that I was paying money to would provide basic techincal support which I was told by the volunteers the company would be unable to do because only volunteers worked on it.

In my opinion, open source maintainers of your offical products in your offical github org are part of your team. You didn't even stand up for them. You didn't even get a product manager or customer success manager to intervene. It's the bare minimum.

And before you carry on with what issue this is. It doesn't matter at this point. Personally, I would just like it if in the future you stepped up for your maintainers.
Thoughts on announcing it?

Some people say the best charity is anonymous. I used to believe that

In my experience in the non-profit world I’ve found that its merely convenient that there is zero public transparency if you dont want it and so I have a different view of its “best” “good” “utility”, some people have an interesting in keeping the “anonymous good” perception

The opposite is announcing

It is completely amoral to me, as in it doesnt make a difference and I dont care and I have all options

But I was wondering what others think [so I can amplify my standing in society, when convenient]

Donate anonymously and have the collection of donations “leaked” in the future?

Donate publicly and announcing it?

Do both like McKenzie Bezos where some people get to be satisfied and inspired by the list and never question if there are others done?

No format can get me to shut the window and move on faster than a Twitter "thread".

Just put it in a Twitlonger and tweet that post. It's literally that simple.

I honestly cannot fathom why anyone thought it was a good idea to tie several tweets into a sequence as a format.

My reaction to Part 2s on Tiktok is almost, but not quite, as visceral.
Afghanistan is more complex, but I agree about the vaccines. But interestingly he can’t capitalize on it, because his fans are so locked into the anti-vax stance. He got booed by his own fans at a rally when he said he was vaccinated!
If physics can't explain it then humans can't explain it. That is my stance.

If there is a separate world outside of this world etc, then that would get incorporated into physics. I don't see how any scientific explanation for consciousness wouldn't become a part of physics.

Basically, physics describes all the rules of this world. Consciousness exists and is a part of the world, so it is a part of the rules of the world, so it is a part of physics.
> still more cows than other not-dead languages.

It may still have a lot of cows, but it clearly doesn't have many calves and that's the statistic that speaks to the eventual fate of the language.
It's a tradeoff.

defer in Go is more like a try/finally statement in other languages, there's a guarantee that the deferred code will run even when there's a panic in the intervening code:

handler = open(something);
defer close(handler);
// something causing a panic

Should be the same as:

handler = open(something);
try {
// something causing an exception
} finally {
close(handler);
}

This is not necessarily true of goto, you have to be more deliberate and disciplined (and discipline doesn't scale) to ensure that when your code hits an error you go to the cleanup section, if you miss even a single case and return early, you will not do the cleanup. Both defer and finally eliminate that potential error.

The interesting thing (to me) about defer is that it promotes making explicit what's implicit in languages like C++ with RAII. In C++ with RAII, handler would be closed up at the end of the lexical scope but it's implicit, Go makes you explicitly state that you intend for it to be closed using a defer. But the defer, stylistically not by requirement, being near the initialization is, arguably, clearer than the goto or the finally statement. It's also less error prone, you can scan the function and see that someone left out a defer close(handler). But if you use a cleanup block at the end (either with try/finally or with gotos) you have to jump back and forth between the top and bottom of the function in order to see that everything has been cleaned up and in the correct order.
Here is when I feel really stupid.
There is a highly upvoted post on HN. Read the article and feel like you have learnt something really impactful. Largely agree with the content. Only to get to the comments section to see the article getting torn apart left right and centre. Thank you HN. You make me look and feel very very stupid. :)

But I did listen to sociologists when I took a distribution requirement in college. I'll never do it again. It was 80% totally obvious facts about human behavior that don't need to be taught and 20% totally contrived BS. No science going on there.

The real hidden gotos are:

(I work at Notion)

It looks like most of the guidance on Pagespeed for large images, and layout shift due to images. The guidance to fix is to set fixed images sizes for these elements, and to re-encode images into more efficient image formats, at their displayed size instead of their maximum source size. Potion probably doesn't currently know the correct width for an image because they give their users kind of unlimited style control to choose the image's size and layout, so they request the image at maximum size to make sure it's as sharp as possible. The images are still coming straight from Notion.so, and aren't served, transformed, or cached by Potion.

The rest of the page is fast - it's static HTML pre-generated or incrementally generated using Next.js, with a bit of JS on top, which is faster than Notion's fully dynamic thick client Javascript app. The example sites look good!

On the subject of Pagespeed's image guidance, Notion gets one out of two correct - when viewing these images from a Notion doc, we request & serve images at their displayed size using a query parameter, but we don't currently transcode the image to a more efficient format based on the browser's image support.

Can't agree more. Lately I've been taking taxis from the airport, since it's usually more convenient to just wait in line at the taxi stand than to play roulette with the apps.

I'm pretty skeptical that there are no false negatives of the matching algo when capturing (and hashing) the iris. I'm also curious how many people that participate understand the orb is collecting face photos and biometrics, is the form factor specifically meant to obscure that there's a bunch of cameras in there?
Wood is renewable when you can grow it, cut it up into useful shapes, then at the end of its useful life, compost it. As soon as you add a shit load of processing and plastic and other stuff it's not "wood" anymore than gasoline is a dead dinosaur. As for things like plywood that use glue for the laminations...glue is the most expensive and important part of the product. Not the wood so much. Replacing steel? I don't think so. Yes, steel is a dirty thing ecologically... but steel things last a long time... and require, in general minimal processing...unlike this hardened wood proposal. If steel showed up today as a new material, it would be lauded for all its technical properties. But it is now old and not so sexy.
