>humblebragging that you're an unrecognized genius

and this is why this article is popular. Everyone has to deal with looking foolish or telling a doctor they know their body better than them. I think playing it up this way and in this format really sells this idea of being this underappreciated genius in a sea of stupid people, which unfortunately a lot of people relate to, instead of attacking the social and systemic issues this person is actually experiencing. For example, poorly trained and non-empathic nurses or mask disinformation early during covid. Obviously these things are strongly liked to ruthless for-profit healthcare and how the right has politicized covid.

Most of the examples are bizarre. The air filter thing makes no sense. Its extremely rare to develop asthma in your own home because of being near wildfires. So there's no evidence his filters did anything. Also most of these are just being over-sensitive at not looking 100% competent all the time. Being bad or silly at videogames at first? That's a universal experience! Being right at work while others are wrong or lazy sometimes! That too. Doing the right thing when no one else is? That's universal too!

And like you said, they don't list the times they made a big seemingly merit-based action but ended up just being wrong.

This person just sounds socially maladjusted and probably suffers from a certain level of social anxiety. If they think acting normally is constantly making them look stupid, there there's something going on with them mentally that isn't healthy. Worse, it may reveal how they see others who aren't competent in the moment, which is really unfair to them. Does this person see us as stupid when we do everyday things? I suspect they do.

So the real take away here isn't "btw aren't we all geniuses if we're like this," I think he was aiming for intentionally or not, but a lesson on being tolerant of others who may not seem competent in the moment.

Lastly, this obsession with who is and isn't stupid is really unhealthy. I see it in a lot of tech people, and its just an ugly form of toxic masculinity. These people will mock sports people for being traditionally over-competitive, but don't see it in themselves when they do it in regards to smarts.
I am really interested in this in general, I just don't know if I can make my people use yet another privacy-focussed app.

This is not strictly for communication I know but if there is any collaborative component, it will be a tough sell to convince others (esp. in the US).
Most people have gotten tired of this and just don't care, it is quite frustrating.
Happy that the const subset of the language grows
LG tvs are quite a bit more expensive than Roku boxes (Roku TVs are made and sold by other parties), so comparing revenue is not very meaningful. Also since home electronics consists of many products, and Roku has essentially a single product.
Also viewing habits just emphasize different types of misinformation: https://news.gallup.com/opinion/gallup/354938/adults-estimat...

E.g. democrats in the survey were more misinformed on risks of Covid than republicans. That explains why the misinformed fear is causing Californians to visit outdoor pumpkin patches while wearing cloth masks (this is analogous to wearing helmets while driving, which is statistically safer but not seen very often.)

> If you don't have a compositor don't use adwaita...

Can I? I haven't been following GTK+4, but GTK3 managed to break every theme except Adwaita, and the developers were pretty clear that having themes is not a priority for GTK+. There's also this website https://stopthemingmy.app/ which says 'don't theme apps, it breaks them' so it implies we're stuck with Adwaita.
NextDNS blocks Roku's ads and tracking for me. I just get a blank square on the home page.
Remember that automated tax filing will lead to easy and silent tax increases.

You'd think so, but that's not the case. I've mastered go so deeply that I even wrote [1] to subvert the runtime. But even with go I have to look things up after working in Kotlin for a week.

If I'm spending very much energy thinking how brilliant or stupid I look or feel, then I'm not focused on doing something fun or useful. We probably all have to put some amount of energy into image management to be part of society, but the less energy put into that the better. At least for me.
This kind of politics makes my heart hurt. Parson wants to control the situation and is doing everything he can to do that, no matter the cost to the tax payers of my home state, or lives he impacts. I'm genuinely sad people like this are in power.

The disclosure by the reporter was fair. The reporter waited to disclose the story until the department of education reviewed the matter. I don't see a court convicting from that fact, this is all for show on reelection.

What I'd like to see is Parson respond to community questions in a townhall and be held accountable for his words. Namely, can we see the line item breakdown of how we got to $50 million? That is _five_ times the cost it took to build Missouri's great Arch..
It's not your website, so who are you to say what is "fine" and what isn't?

It's up to the website owner to determine what the minimum requirements for their site are, and they chose to require Javascript. Judging by the fact that Axios is still up and running, they don't seem to mind their decision.
Solidity (a PL in which Ethereum's so called "smart contracts"[1] are developed) has version pragmas [2] at the top of each file.

Neat! Certainly more readable than the massive xml file! Thanks for the hard work!

E: The code generating the qemu commands is also quite readable, so I think migrating my install will be quite doable + If needs be i can add args manually.
What is the obvious outcome?

How are you "using the latest stuff", which here is a syntax shortcut, if you have to write out and maintain the old syntax too?
> or worry about whether whomever we had to collaborate with in a different part of the world was doing the same.

How would having a single universal time solve knowing whether your collaborators were asleep or having dinner or whatever? You could have some kind of lookup table -- "Australians usually wake up around 18:00 UTC" -- but then what have you solved?
I will shamefully admit to using transmute in very sinful ways, such as having enums that are repr(u16) or something like that at multiple numeric ranges such as:

#[repr(u16)]
enum Foo { A = 0, B }

#[repr(u16)]
enum Bar { A = 3200, B }

struct FooOrBar(u16);

And then proceeding to violate all of the unwritten rules of Rust by wrangling casts across these types like a goddamn wizard

I'm not proud of this...
The article does give the impression that the author has a superiority complex, and that many people are judging him often, where most likely people just don't care all that much either way. Perhaps what they're describing is being defensive over low self-confidence? They don't seem to be all that easy to work with. "I'm not stupid, you're stupid" is the vibe I'm getting.
I find the article title kind of curious, given that it states Parson has "doubled down" which suggests that the video the article references is an active effort on Parson's part. It then goes on to state that the video was produced by a PAC Parson created but doesn't give direct input to. Comes off as unnecessarily inflammatory to me I suppose.

Having said that, this situation in particular really tests my willingness to assume good faith on the part of the governor and his body of advisors. Is he legitimately without a single person close to him that could inform him of how misguided this line of aggression is, and how fortunate it was that the individual who identified the security problem acted in such a helpful manner? On top of that he assigned the Missouri State Highway Patrol to investigate, because given his perceived severity of the situation that's the best agency at his disposal? It all just seems bananas.

I try not to assume that totally inane actions from elected officials are exclusively the result of political calculus, and I suppose I don't have any evidence to assume that's the case here either. But I'm at a loss as to how this situation could blossom into something so ridiculous.

You put a smiley so I suppose it's possible you know better, but this kind of shallow, thoughtless critique is just painful to read, especially when following such a well-presented, historically accurate description of the debate surrounding goto. This is especially true given that Dijkstra himself refutes your argument, such as it is, in the opening paragraph of his seminal paper.
The problem with these types of sites is the cold start issue. Not enough users to make people stay engaged. After viewing few to no options, most users will move on.

Bumble tried to tackle the issue with its BFF feature, but it is still underused. Very few people on the app.
> wouldn't they just sort of figure it out over the course of a week or a month and then not have to worry about at again from that point on?

You'd have to re-negotiate every time you work with a new client. Are they on 9-5? Or 10-6? When can we schedule that weekly call? Businesses have no incentive to go through this headache, so they won't.

We already shift our working hours twice a year with practically no issues. Let's just not switch back once.
Question, which helm chart is the best to install ClickHouse these days?
On the contrary, having a bizarre number creates marketing buzz and curiosity. $154,999.89 got me to click. $155k can get lost in the shuffle of all the other numbers getting thrown around on HN.
>which may encourage people to cross lines as there is no way for the community to sanction such behavior.

It's also hard for some people to understand that individuals who hold extreme views and use poor sources/facts could, in fact, be people who actually hold those views. They're not trolls. They're not doing it to get a rise out of you. Sometimes, those people are legitimate in their beliefs, regardless of how ass-backwards they are.

And I don't know why people don't understand that.

It's tricky. If you're saying what you will do, and show it as it should look, while you continue to develop it really working, and it's not endangering health like in the case of Theranos, I have a hard time seeing the issue.

I've never been in a situation where it literally didn't work though over time, and before customer usage.
At least one of the versions of MISRA explicitly allows for the use of goto to break to cleanup code at the end of a function, if I remember correctly, and another is much more strict, but I don't have any copies of MISRA at hand at the moment.

My trendy in-group of Twitter friends understands perfectly well what I mean. Get with the times.

Did I? I thought your meaning was to erase women. But you claim it wasn’t, somehow. See how using words to mean whatever you want them to this week does not contribute to clear communication?
One of my all time favorite pieces of (non-political) journalism. A beautifully told story about magic and one of it's greats.
I'm guessing one project required currency conversion and so the 11 cents is the cost of conversion for that one project. Maybe they gave the project $10 and 11 cents got eaten in conversion making it $9.89. It's possible they spent $155,000 but projects only got $154,999.89 so the note the latter.
That's a lot of if's and but's that ignores a very important fact - most of Apple's top engineers from their CPU division have already quit Apple ...

If they can't innovate, all they can do is keep increasing the core count ... don't think that'll help them compete with future AMD / Intel / ARM or RISC cpus in the long term.

Nobody can predict what will confuse or annoy their audience.

True that people will try not to go out of their way to confuse or annoy their audience.

If gender neutral pronouns confuse or annoy people I really don't think that's the author's fault. That's far more on the ignorance of the reader.

Do people who don't understand gender neutral pronouns get similarly confused and annoyed when they see a word they haven't seen before? That's a frustrating existence if true.
Your spam isn’t welcome here.
You ask good questions that I mostly can't answer!

I agree with your points on megacasting. Other companies can replicate it but it will take time. Just as important as the megacasting will be changes to other assembly procedures that accompany that shift, which may increase lead time till those companies can start production.

I agree that Tesla has done some really smart things with batteries and would add that "the battery industry", such as it is, runs on software that's feels like it was made in the 90s. I imagine Tesla has a more mature software stack and I think this gives them more of an advantage than is generally realized by the industry.

Since you mention battery timelines, it may interest you that Toyota has a group explicitly attempting to speed up development[0].

The amount you're quoted for an international funds transfer often varies slightly from the amount that's actually charged.. So if you initiate a $500USD -> EUR transfer quoted at 0.8591 so the recipient receives EUR429.55, it might actually clear at 0.8593 meaning it only cost you $499.88 to send.
Can you provide a source to support that claim that doesn't rely solely on racial disparity demographics that is based on a modern and recent gifted/talented (in the last 10 years)? I'm honestly interested. My local school based their ideas behind removing G&T on some arguably statically flawed meta studies by John Hattie.
"you can’t tell if ICBM’s are incoming to the US"

Why can't we tell? US has a world-wide network of early warning radars and satellites specifically built for this purpose during cold war. Various allied countries have their own networks too, and would warn US.

Iraq never had ICBMs and no-one ever claimed that they do.

I am not seeing a plausible scenario of 'unnoticed incoming ICBM' on US.

"try and penetrate serious air defenses with conventional aircraft, or use an ICBM"

US has bombed Iraq (and many other contries) multiple times by then with minimal losses. I am struggling to see how nuclear holocaust was an appealing option.

Increadible thing do sometimes happen, so I would be interested in there is an article explaining the events or this line of thinking.
Just FYI, Lenovo is having a terrible time fulfilling orders. Months of delays with a complete lack of transparency around actual ship times. Not to mention just a comical process around rejected payments and other issues.

I ordered a Thinkpad in July with a ship date of 10-14 days. The ship date has basically slipped to March of next year. I check the ship date every week or so and it bounces around a lot, telling me they have no idea when it will actually ship. I can't even imagine what will happen if they ship me a defective laptop and I have to get it replaced.

I'm 95% at the point where I'm going to cancel the order and switch to either a Framework laptop or a Macbook Pro.

This doesn't help answer your question, but if you need the laptop soon, The X1 Carbon may not be the answer.
Googles demand is very reasonable and it is exactly what I (and most other customers, I am sure) expect of the behavior of the software. When I am within an app and do a search I expect the search to be either limited to that app (preferable) or if not, the results of the search that are within the app should be somehow highlighted.

If I pay $40/month for Youtube TV, and go into the Youtube TV app, and search for a show, I am searching for a show within the offerings of the app I am in. I do not want to be offered a show in a yet another app for which I will have to pay yet another monthly fee.

And I especially do not want to be driven towards another service for which I will have to pay another monthly fee, if the show I am searching for is already available in the app I am already paying for and from which I am searching.
What are some good references on neural ODEs that don't come from the Julia community? I'm looking for theory and applications - when are they good and who is using them for what?

I'm asking for sources outside of Julia because I find the coupling of algorithm types to tools kind of strange and the whole SciML trend is kind of opaque to me. (Are people applying ML as a solution to newer problems? Are they using new approaches to solve ML problems? How legit is the whole thing? I just don't know.)
Do the Ubers?
The entire apple ecosystem is extremely expensive to be on - asking 30% of revenue share - not much for major networks since they don't have to invent it themselves, but a hefty tax to consumers in comparison to non apple devices.

The funny part is, they charge a premium on both ends and people like it. (and i do believe Apple had to fight similar battles on youtube placement...)

It sounds like he’s part of the Strong Man party and cannot be allowed to be wrong. I don’t think it’s purely political, some people just can’t be reasoned with.
What is interesting is that some of the "preaching" do gooders here on HN and elsewhere - won't lift a finger to alleviate the underlying issues that cause this type of decision.

In most of these articles about stopping something terrible - I'm always keeping my eye out for - what is the solution they are proposing to reduce the demand for X or Y.
Often this is true, but those smaller methods might need to share so much local state that the solution is worse than the problem.

They exist, but only at the players who compete in the global hiring pool (Google, Fb, Amazon, Spotify etc).

A local company which predominantly only competes in the European hiring pool will never give a wage higher than locally required.
Can you give an example of where you've used goto in C or a C-like language? Or a rough estimate of the number of times you've found goto to be the best solution?

I agree with your post in principle, but in practice I can't think of a single example where I've used a goto that wasn't eventually refactored to something better that didn't have the goto.

Edit: Probably the most common example (and one given early in the article) is deeply nested loops. This is a good example of where I'm very unlikely to use goto. Almost certainly, I will prefer to hide one or more of the inner loops inside of a function call.
Right, but my point is adoption and hype don't always go hand-in-hand. JavaScript for example has always had heavy adoption but now is going through a hype phase. Ruby had a hype phase a decade ago but only now is seeing heavy adoption. Similarly PHP hype peaked in the early 00s, but adoption didn't peak until ~2017 and is now beginning to decline. Rust is seeing heavy hype that will probably be followed in 5-10 years with heavy adoption.
Well, once you have what you need I doubt they're doing any post-op care. So if the victim dies an hour later or a few months later it's still murder.
I've been intrigued for a while about various modified wood technologies (eg hardened wood, transparent wood), but I'm always disappointed because it usually ends up just being a minor support structure for a very non-wood material (generally epoxy). This one shows a compression step, so maybe it's different, but I'd really like more info on whether this is actually renewable or sustainable in any interesting sense.

Very reminiscent of the supposedly renewable & sustainable bamboo products that are anything but. I love bamboo, but flooring should make you think "plywood" not "waving groves of fast-growing giant grasses". It's another glue and epoxy thing.

This is a space to watch closely. Pensions are tragicomically underfunded in the US:

https://equable.org/state-of-pensions-2020-national-pension-...

To make up for the shortfall, they're after any asset that moves. Bitcoin's well-known supply cap places it uniquely among all assets.

It's not hard to imagine a near future in which all of the world's largest pension funds own Bitcoin, directly or indirectly. Then what?

NYDIG itself appears to be a company dedicated to making an even more sweeping version of this idea reality:

> A provider of Bitcoin-related technology and investment services, NYDIG also said it would be launching “Bitcoin-powered solutions for U.S.-based life insurance and annuity providers.” This comes as the firm announced the addition of reinsurance company TransRe CEO Mike Sapnar, who will be joining NYDIG as the global head of insurance solutions.

I'm not sure why you think that's creative engineering. What you're pointing to is the depth of available configuration that the contributors to TSBS have exposed for each database. It's totally open source and anyone is welcome to add more configuration and options! I believe (although not totally sure) that Altinity and ClickHouse folks added their code a few years ago - at least it wasn't anyone on the Timescale team.

That said, we didn't actually use those scripts to run our tests. Please join us next Wednesday (10AM ET/4PM CET) to see how we set the databases up and ran the benchmarks. We'd be delighted to have you try it on your own too!
