The petit bourgeoisie were a tiny minority of the population. Most people were peasants. Is that what you’d prefer society to be like?

If you want to redefine middle class to be small business owners and merchants that don’t depend on a salary that’s fine I guess, but that’ll be an even smaller percentage of the population than the modern middle class.
That was actually a smart idea to fail the exam. As a SAT tutor your first instinct would be to show off and try to get a perfect score.

To add another anecdote, I know many people who have been through the prison system. Certain prisons will give you a test on entry to see where your skill level is on the 3 Rs. The firm rule is FAIL THE TEST. Do not try to be smart. The dumbest ones get the priority for school places in the prison. Schooling = extra credits = early release from custody.
This is exactly how I feel about laowhy86 and serpentza too. So much great content in the past but times have changed.
Most people in the US probably only know he wrote "War and Peace". I started reading it online, but got bored and quit before long.

However, reading about Tolstoy as a person, and some of the shorter stuff he wrote is way more interesting, at least to me.

Andrea Dworkin wrote about Tolstoy's story "The Kreutzer Sonata" in the book "Intercourse" and compared it to his real life relationship with his wife. Which seems to have been horrific...according to her, who posterity has not esteemed like her husband.

Dworkin focused on misogyny, but other people have found aspects of Tolstoy's thinking or behavior repellent for other reasons. Here is something G.K. Chesterton wrote (since on HN only his fence ever seems to be mentioned)

"It is difficult in every case to reconcile Tolstoy the great artist with Tolstoy the almost venomous reformer. It is difficult to believe that a man who draws in such noble outlines the dignity of the daily life of humanity regards as evil that divine act of procreation by which that dignity is renewed from age to age. It is difficult to believe that a man who has painted with so frightful an honesty the heartrending emptiness of the life of the poor can really grudge them every one of their pitiful pleasures, from courtship to tobacco. It is difficult to believe that a poet in prose who has so powerfully exhibited the earth-born air of man, the essential kinship of a human being, with the landscape in which he lives, can deny so elemental a virtue as that which attaches a man to his own ancestors and his own land. It is difficult to believe that the man who feels so poignantly the detestable insolence of oppression would not actually, if he had the chance, lay the oppressor flat with his fist. All, however, arises from the search after a false simplicity, the aim of being, if I may so express it, more natural than it is natural to be. It would not only be more human, it would be more humble of us to be content to be complex. The truest kinship with humanity would lie in doing as humanity has always done, accepting with a sportsmanlike relish the estate to which we are called, the star of our happiness, and the fortunes of the land of our birth."

> 11. That it happens to be a game-theoretic equilibrium to have a near-equal sex ratio, although honestly, I have no idea what things would be like if that wasn’t the case and maybe it would be fine.

Well, let's think about if this would be fine.

If there were a 10:1 female to male ratio, I think we'd expect that a modern, "civilized" society would be reasonably fine for everyone. There'd probably a lot more polygamy and polyamory than we have now, but the polygamy wouldn't be the "old school backwoods fundamentalist" type, because women would be in charge of the government and effectively make all the laws. I wouldn't be surprised if there were also a requirement that all healthy males donate at the sperm bank once a month from the onset of puberty to age 50 or so. This doesn't seem too onerous.

If there were a 10:1 male to female ratio ... it would be a dystopian hellscape that's makes me shudder just to think of it. Women would have basically no rights. There'd be an incredibly high level of violence. Nearly everyone except the alpha males would be miserable a lot of the time.

Anyway, that's my idea of how things might be like in an extreme scenario. If we're talking 1.1:1 or 1.2:1 either way it might not be a big deal, though I'd expect men outnumbering women to get bad at a surprisingly low ratio, well before even 2:1.

Note that this isn't because I think men are inherently bad and women inherently good. It's simply that nearly everyone has a very strong genetic drive to reproduce. In the world with more women than men, everyone who wants to have a biological child can do so quite easily. In the opposite world, most men cannot do so, which means reproduction is a scarce resource. And we know what humans do in response to a very strong need for a scarce resource.
I would prefer getElementById regardless of its performance because you may need escaping for CSS selectors, for example `getElementById('comment:1234')` vs. `querySelector('#comment\\:1234')`.
It literally meant the day stores would go into the "black" because many stores would be in the red for the year overall until they sold so much on that one day they'd turn a profit for the year or go into the "black" on their accounting.

Here you go, independent study by York University https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/05/05/did-pande...
Good thing I'm not here for the HN karma or optics. If at least one person has read my comments and started asking questions and doing their own research into the current anti-China propaganda blitz, that's a win for me.

Seriously. Step back and look at what is going on here. One Chinese women opened up on social media and an emotional and traumatic experience she had long ago. Instantly, the entire Western propaganda apparatus amplifies it into a massive scandal. Every rumor is tested: it's a CCP coverup, Peng has been disappeared, the evidence of her being safe is all deep faked...

Meanwhile, every single day people are going through much, much worse. Including in America. But it's one Chinese lady that gets all the attention. Because we're in the midst of a political propaganda campaign against Beijing 2022.

Yes I am speaking about China a lot lately. Because I am Chinese, I care about the subject a lot, and the whole Cold War and all the media lies have made me angry and pushed me to speak up.

You don't have to agree with me. But please don't say silly things like that I am a paid shill or that I don't belive what I say. I will remind you that I have a job.

Maybe it's the differential structure itself? Or an (over?)emphasis on the study of functions from space to space instead of the study of the space itself? Or the specificity of calculus (the study of one specific space) instead of the generality of topology (thinking about a lot of spaces and comparing them to each other)
Your immune response can be triggered by a specific epitope but provide a less than optimal response. I'm not pulling this out of my ass.

I can't remember the last time my little nano server in US-West-2 has been down.
When I started to build my browser [1] I realized that there's literally no standard test suite to test your HTTP implementation against.

There are test suites for _some_ subsets of the spec, and there are implementation-specific testsuites (e.g. in chromium) ... but there's not a single HTTP 1.1 all-in-one testserver that you can test your client or server implementation against - over the wire.

The additional lack of tests for hop by hop networking changes (which is e.g. the Transfer Encoding parts of the spec in 1.1) and you have a disaster waiting to happen.

Combine that with 206 Partial Content and say, some byte ranges a server cannot process...and you've got a simple way to crash a lot of server implementations.

There's not a single web server implementation out there that correctly implements multiple byte range requests and responses especially not when chunked encoding can be a requested thing. Don't get me started on the ";q=x.y" value headers, they are buggy everywhere, too.

For my browser project, I had to build a pcap (tcpdump) based test runner [2] that can setup temporary local networks with throttling and fragmentation behaviour so that I have reproducible tests that I can analyze later when they failed. Otherwise it would be a useless network protocol test that's implementation specific as all others.

I think the web heavily needs a standard HTTP test suite, similar to the ACID tests back then...but for malicious and spec compliant HTTP payloads combined.

OP is explaining their methodology poorly. The 62ms number is the time it takes to run the call 100,000 times, in a loop, with a string interpolation. And measurement is done by taking the delta of two performance.now() calls, which are known to be precise to only about 1ms for spectre mitigation[0].

FWIW, JS old timers have known querySelector is slower than getElementById since querySelector became a thing.

Agents of I.N.U. started as a personal project after entering the world of DeFi in May this year.

I was dismayed at the amount of scams and the lack of tooling in general. Hard / impossible to find new tokens without sleuthing through Telegram groups, even harder still to keep track of those tokens.

So I started building out a tool to improve my trading, and after demoing it to friends and families, I decided to turn it into a product.

Features:

- Scam detection

- Best-in-class filtering (filter by name, # of trades, volume, token liquidity and token creation date)

- Powerful sorting

- Extremely performant

- Event tracking (new tokens, liquidity added events, ownership changes)

We currently support PancakeSwap / BSC but we'll be expanding support in the near future.

We've got an extensive roadmap planned to take the product even further, including more in-depth token analysis, portfolio and watchlist tracking.
You joke but I recently heard a term "original copy" going around in my wife's circle. Turns out, that term is to signify something that is a near-perfect copy of a designer item. These are not cheap either; they sell for at least 20x the price of a "non-original copy" i.e. inferior fake.

Oddly, I regularly think about how great plumbing is, and I've been noticing this for the past 5-10 years, I think (I'm in my 40s).

I don't think I've spent as much time contemplating the joy of HVAC systems, but I know I've thought about them from time to time.

It's not quite that. The US isn't claiming that they should have access to the Northwest Passage as an arctic nation, but rather that there should be international right of passage through the Northwest Territory, ie, between Canadian landmasses.

There is militarily 0 need to use an F-35 to intercept Russian bombers. Actually the F-35 is pretty bad at interceptions. The F-35 has a pitiful 1100km combat radius, and cannot supercruise. The Gripen is a bit better and may be able to supercruise meaning that it's effective interception range is significantly better, and most importantly can usefully utilise drop-tanks. Even the CF-18 is a better interceptor than the F-35.

The F-35 is not the right choice to deter Russia in the arctic. It's the right choice if you're planning an invasion or need to do strike missions past enemy air defences, or if you're going to be doing air-to-air combat far from home.
Watching the video with the article I'm truely amazed at the engineering involved in this. In some ways it's so simple, in other ways its crazy complex.

You could avoid that quite easily by using IDs that don't need escaping though.

That said, the fact escaping is necessary could point to part of the reason why querySelector is slower. There's obviously some additional parsing necessary just to work out what the developer is requesting. If you don't need to spend that CPU time then it's certainly better not to.

I think you made the same mistake that I made when I first read it. The question isn't "what contains more wine?" but "compare the amount of water in A to the amount of wine in B."

Step 1: A with 10 L wine; B with 10 L water

Step 2: A with 9 L wine; B with 11 L liquid (10 L water and 1 L wine => 10/11 water, 1/11 wine)

Step 3: A with 10/11 * 1/11 = 10/11^2 L water; B with 1/11 * 10/11 = 10/11^2 L wine.

10 / 11*2 water in A ~ 10 / 11^2 wine in B.

Do you know why I am angry and pushed to speak up so much about China lately? Because the reality on the ground turns out to be really different from mainsteam media depiction. For 25 years I have heard tropes like "Chinese people are oppressed" but when I did deeper research I found a very different picture. It's like watching my father (the west) defame my mother (China) for 25 years and then finding out that 90% of the accusations are distorted.

What's really needed here is for the tech press to make this a priority when reviewing devices, which they currently don't. Right now consumers aren't aware of how important it is for the device to have drivers in the mainline kernel tree to avoid getting pwned.

Not having that should be an absolute bar to a device making it onto anyone's "recommended" list.

At which point device makers would prioritize not getting panned by reviewers and losing many sales just because they couldn't be bothered to get their drivers into the kernel tree.
