> The thing about this you're engaging in a clear fallacy. Depressed people tend to draw negative conclusions and reinforce their conclusions, therefore if someone draws a negative conclusion (that you consider unwarranted), they are depressed and making themselves worse.

I claimed that depression often leads to catastrophizing, not that catastrophizing is somehow exclusive to depression.

So the "clear fallacy" here is reading a comment about how A sometimes implies B, then attacking the notion that B implies A, despite there being no logical connection between the two propositions.
Are you essentially saying that you don't think there are important material and chemical differences between Roman and modern concrete that might be responsible for orders-of-magnitude differences in durability, aside from the absence of rebar, and that it's basically a matter of building so many bridges, harbours, and aqueducts that some of them end up lasting for thousands of years despite being immersed in running rivers or salt water?
What’s more impressive about it? Two static lights and some normals maps, compared to caustics, wave simulation and physics. One of these is much harder than the other, in realtime no less

I must be missing something. I’ve never used scihub before, and I can’t find the link to read the paper. All I see on this link is the name of the paper and the authors.
Because beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Correct:

"If it’s in the public interest, the Commonwealth can intervene in these cases on the side of the defamed person against the social media company.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison said the government would proactively search for such cases to intervene in."

Years of cyberbullying didn't spur the government into action. A few choice tweets about politicians did. Though they'll say this is about protecting kids etc
It's on the embedder (Wasm VM) to provide this functionality. I'm working on a Wasm runtime [0] that is written in Rust and uses stack switching to allow you to call Rust async functions as if they were blocking. This keeps the Wasm bytecode simple (blocking), but at the same time provides high performance i/o.

There is also a proposal to bring stack switching to the browser.

> I'm pretty sure the EU has stricter food safety regulations than the US.

Interestingly, the US is notable for having just about the highest food safety and quality standards in the world, and these regulations systematically block the import of many food goods into the US. Per this source [0], the US is second after Canada; other sources move the countries around a bit but the US is always right up around the top. The US has long been accused, correctly in my view, of being obsessed with excessively sterile and verifiably clean food supply chains beyond any statistically reasonable health concern, which has precluded the import of many popular products from the EU to the US.

The US has many problems but strict regulation of food quality is not one of them, they are aggressively skeptical by default. I don’t know if it is constructive but it is definitely a thing the US does.

Living in a ski town isn’t a fundamental human need. There are lots of cheap places to live in the USA they just are not in what are currently the desirable locations.
You could theoretically argue that you reap what you sow in regards to gay men having unprotected sex with many partners. Some biblical/moral whatever.

Let us suppose this argument for a minute. Very quickly it wasn’t just gay men, but innocent housewives who those men infected and then babies as well.

For that reason, if for no other reason, research into treatment was necessary. What, you’re going to let someone die because someone else you don’t like dies of the same thing?

The trouble with “god’s punishment” has always been that his punishments have always been rather gangster-esque. That is, lots of peripheral casualties.

They really should just have this on the business owners. Make them have to provide housing for the labor they require to make their money vs having homeowners who might not even be patronizing the business front this overhead of theirs. In places like Catalina Island where there isn't much housing, you will see job ads for the coffee shop offering employee housing along with the job. You want to open a starbucks in a mountain town? Better make it a mixed use building with some apartments upstairs for the staff.

The whole reason why housing costs are so high is because there is an imbalance in the number of jobs and units of houses available, so if you mandate that all these employers provide housing for the jobs they bring into the area, you alleviate this imbalance immediately.
How about seeing how big of an index of the web one can build for 25k?

Absence of rebar is a huge difference. From what I understand it's the primary reason most modern concrete structures are expected to last only on the order of decades to a century or two. Some modern structures have been built without much if any rebar, for instance the Hoover Dam, and I've heard that might last thousands of years.
There’s Shadertoy and Three.js although the main reason we don’t see many 3D web games is both Steam being where the money is, portability to consoles and asset size. The latter in particular makes the web unattractive to game developers used to delivering gigabytes. It’s a different mode of production and people won’t make that switch en masse until someone proves it out.

Now Blender is really good we’re seeing a lot more indie games exploring low-poly 3D aesthetics. Further the increasing viability of using more compact formats like SDF hopefully means we see even more people realising they can actually build something on the web.
I don't know if south tirol (part of Italy) has any regulation similar to the one mentioned for northern tirol (part of Austria). I wouldn't be surprised
Thank you. I tried to implement this, but I got empty/missing images on mobile browsers. It basically worked everywhere where right-clicking also worked. I'll look into it more when I have more time.
No. An industry does not make a plan 50+ years in advance to get more business.

They do, however, save on costs by delivering products that don't last as long because their customers also don't (as a general rule) care about 50+ year time horizons.
But it doesn't even have to be a trailer. Did you look at text promos?
The V2s used alcohol (from potatoes) and liquid oxygen.
Not to mention that concrete steel reinforcement is the main reason it doesn't last due to water eventually making its way and the rust taking expansion thus cracking the concrete.
I used to be able to actually buy MP3s from Amazon US. I actually have bought and downloaded a few albums this way.

Then they launched Amazon Music (or whatever its name is) in my country, which only provides app-based access to music, and also took away my ability to buy MP3s from the US website and neglected to add it to my country's version of Amazon.
In my experience, asyncify works pretty well everywhere but Safari on macOS/ARM or ios/ARM, where the stack sizes are too small to be useful. You do want to be a bit careful about where you block, which can minimize the number of functions that need to be transformed.
> The difference in the calories burned per hour between a conditioned individual and non-conditioned is something like 100cal vs 600cal. Do you want to be able to burn 100 cal/hour or 600?

This is nonsense. A typical person will burn 100 Calories or close to it per mile walked. The set of people who cannot walk more than a mile in an hour is pretty small.

On the other side, an elite marathoner can burn well over 600 Calories per hour. Something like 2600 calories for a race in as little as 2 hours.

I enjoy a good Tarantino movie but there isn’t much story there, he goes for shock value and strings together the best scenes of everything that came before him. If not for Samuel Jackson I don’t think anyone would remember his movies. There are definitely more noteworthy works that came before. This list is more what I’d expect if I asked my kid what people talk about at recess.
Good thing, yes, but the parent argued omicron “happened because there isn’t enough vaccines in third world countries.”

I’m asking if that makes sense given the evidence, and commenting that my (lay) intuition says it isn’t.

Is there a way to vouch for the account not to be banned?
This account is one of a few I followed regularly, precisely to maintain some ability for "intellectual curiosity" among the innuendo of the opposite. I don't think there is a reason to believe this person has an agenda. It is just an emotional breakthrough during unprecedented times.
Bad things happen when people are banned for "transgressions" like this one.
Polish has a lot of intonation—which is also kind of unique. I can instantly recognize people speaking Polish, even in larger groups of people talking all kind of languages, just by the very typical sentence melody that sticks out.

But it's indeed quite different to other languages, even the other Slavic ones.

Germanic intonation and sentence melody (for example like in German or English) is completely distinct from the Polish one. And this melody seems to be something sticky as you can always recognize Polish people just by their intonation even when they speak otherwise perfect German or English. That's not the case for for example Russian, or Czech, or Slovak people.
To what degree did they control for the regions in question being already less educated, trusting etc, and that leading to more people being persecuted there?
I’m very concerned that the mask debate for elementary school (and especially pre-school) is not considering the potential long term negative effects. The anti-mask side uses false arguments about breathing too much CO2. And the pro-mask side uses irrelevant arguments about how plenty of adults wear masks all day with no harmful effects (nurses/doctors).

But we’re talking about young kids here. Pre-school (age 2 - 4) is an especially critical time and early elementary is important too. This time is a short window in brain development when the brain is super elastic and learns many things. Much of language development isn’t just hearing and speaking, it’s also seeing the mouth movements. And this is the age when the brain learns how to recognize and display facial emotions. Is it possible by masking so much these young kids, we’re doing major damage to this learning process?

Maybe the answer is yes, or maybe it’s no. But no one is even considering this question. It’s just endless stupid debates about masking that doesn’t at all consider the special circumstances of this critical time in life, this short window when so much happens.
You don’t have to be white or Asian to get a job in tech. I’ve literally seen anyone who can code even somewhat get jobs here.

You can probably be green and get a job if you know how to code.
GUIs are great for doing one-shot things. For anything repetitive, they quickly become a real pain.

Yes, currently input goes into a propmpt() and it doesn't output anything unless you hit "Cancel" on the prompt, definitely a bad time.

Python allows you to reach in and replace the core interpreter loop, so this may be an avenue to have our own asyncify-like function pop out to JS land and restore state correctly (which we can be smart about since we are the interpreter).

It may also be possible to write something that runs Python in a webworker and communicate with it over a sharedarraybuffer, but that I'm a bit more hazy on. Pyodide has some discussion of this in https://github.com/pyodide/pyodide/issues/1219 and https://github.com/pyodide/pyodide/issues/1503.

This is definitely the hardest part of getting Python to work. Well, hardest after the hardest part of building a compiler toolchain like Emscripten :)

It also depends greatly on how well your structure is insulated and where (or whether) vapour barriers exist.

Vapour condenses against cold surfaces. This is why in winter poorly-glazed (e.g., single-glazed) windows "steam" up (really: condense), or frost over. Similarly water will condense against exterior walls, and may lead to degraded sheetrock (newer construction) or plaster (in older buildings), or rot. Where walls are insulated, a vapour barrier _before_ the insulation can lead to condensation inside the wall, again, against the exterior (cold) surface. The result is that even if the interior is humidified, moisture is "sucked out" by the exterior cold. (More accurately: vapour condenses against cold surfaces.)

In summer, the problem is reversed, with warm humid exterior air condensing on surfaces cooled by interior air conditioning --- the outside of windows, or again, inside walls. Interiors can see higher relative humidity than the outside, and dehumidifiers may be needed.
That's also because vail has been buying up mountains. The epic pass even works for the little podunk midwestern ski slopes I used to ride on, since vail bought them within the past decade or two.

LaTeX as designed is generally semantic (formatting is left to the applied style), and whilst HTML5 is in theory reasonably semantic, in practice, LaTeX tends to be used far more semantically than HTML is.

Some of those reasons are technical, though as noted elsewhere in this subthread, economic and other factors seem more dominant, and I severely doubt that LaTeX on its own will address the broader scope of issues raised in TFA.
>I remember one about curing warts by digging the living shit out of them with a swiss army knife.

I've never read WEC but that actually works. It is very painful, of course, but I have personally done it with the only plantar wart I've ever had (at least, I assume that's what it was).

This was years ago but if memory serves it bled overnight, following day was tender to walk on, day after that I didn't even notice it. Checked a week or two later and it was gone.
Software engineers in China always want to be a manager not a coder. They even think they fail if they don't be a manager when they are 35+. Cause China is full of employees, if they only code, hrs will assume they don't have many profits. So there is a saying in China "Software engineers retire at 35." But the retirement is not decided by engineers themselves, rather the fucking cruel companies

I've done something similar in another project (avatar generator based on username). That code would always use a seed, and generate a new one when none was supplied.

The main issue I see is that all the non-random numbers in the code would need to remain fixed. I love tweaking those to improve the results. The link you'd share would have to be something like /v1/hash, where 'v1' is a folder with the 'frozen' version of the algorithm.

I also think the results would be less random/erratic, and since the images this generates are only around 150 kilobytes, they are also easy to share :).

The causality might go the opposite way. Maybe areas with poorer economies were more prone to persecuting minorities. So it’s not the persecution that led to the poor economy, but the poor economy that led to the persecution. Or maybe a third factor drove both of these things.

Since when?

Design criteria baked into international building code is quite robust; not just naive static load, but wind, snow, seismic activity, fire/flood/termite resistance, etc. are all considered. That's a far stretch from something that can "barely stand".
Where is that done? I've bought in two states and sold in one and typically the way it's done is you have a contingency in the home sale that lets you walk if you don't like what your inspector finds. A seller could theoretically do their own but there's little upside, since this just creates a record of any issue that turns up that you now can't claim ignorance of.

It's really the theme park model that they are learning from. Disney and Universal are in an arms race perfecting this science. A lot of people end up buying annual passes from Disney or Universal since you end up ahead after a couple visits. If you are local that's pretty easy to do. Suddenly you are in the park more often, in arms reach of their $14 entrees and merchandise shops in every corner. Having you in the park/skilodge more often means more chances they can upsell you on stuff they make some real money on, like $12 beer on a 10x markup. Even if you show up every single day and really milk your season pass to these sorts of places, the resort still ends up ahead due to all the other sales you might make for them. Gotta take a break for food at some point when skiing or going to disneyland no matter what.

Actually, the key-click occurred not for those reasons explicitly, but "...was caused by the audio signal being routed directly through the key contacts. As a key was depressed, the nine contacts under the key closed against their respective busbars at slightly different times and bounced as they closed. The sine waves from the constantly running generators would be connected at random points in their oscillation."

Ask HN: How to have a meaningful conversation with a date?
This might seem like an out of place question to ask here, but I'm sure there are folks here on HN who have experienced something like this at some point, and I believe the people who would understand my issues best and would be able to provide actually useful tips can be found here.

I possess the typical hacker mindset with interests and passions that are not so "popular". I'm socially awkward and bad at talking, especially so when I don't have much in common with the other person. I don't think I have a good sense of humor and I tend to have a cynical and pessimistic outlook on things, i.e I'm not what one would call a "fun guy".
So I run out of topics to talk about and the conversation quickly becomes boring for both of us, even though we're genuinely interested in each other.

Please note: I won't be taking "Find someone else" as an answer.
