Lenin turned out to be an autocrat who fought to have managerial control reinstated in the factories after they had been taken over by Soviets and various other ways he crushed the revolution. The Bolsheviks were a group of middle class people who wanted everything subservient to them. If you read anarchist history books like anarchosyndicalism by Rudolf rocker or books by Emma Goldman on the subject you might be intrigued.

Being able to sort records with their systems tools, was astounding to me as someone who gets unix pretty clearly.
Of course it is, but we’re all greedy so nothing will ever change.

Where I live, house prices are climbing at about 10% a year. More, now that people can work from home. So you see articles in the paper where boomers say how terrible they feel that the young people won’t be able to afford a house because their house price has gone up $100,000 this year.

To the boomer I say, well, you don’t have to take the money. Nobody is forcing you to sell your house for $100k more this year than last. You’re free to sell it for less. Put your money where your mouth is!

Of course this is just a wry view, a letter to the newspaper. It’ll never actually happen. Because we’re all greedy.
Some form of type inference was proposed for C: http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n2735.pdf

What you’re talking about is a different form of evolution where there are effectively “multiple answers to the same problem”. A common example is if there are two bird species eat the same nut, they might have two very different beak shapes that both open that nut.

But that’s not how the type of evolution in a single virus works[0]. Within a single organism/virus, the evolution is more like finding a local minima. There certainly could be a more effective design with a different shape. But it is very difficult to break out of a local minima through mutation and natural selection. You still have to maintain the function of a protein while simultaneously mutating it. So, breaking out of a local minima is really difficult. As you said, evolution is a slow process, so you wouldn’t expect to see dramatic changes in a shape and keep the same function.

[0] I’ve deliberately left out things like horizontal gene transfer, transposons, and gene duplication, all of which can involve hyper mutation or gain of function without being under selective pressure.
I genuinely loved the second-generation Zune. The aluminum case felt lovely in the hand, it had swipe-based momentum scrolling before that was common (without even a touchscreen!). It had a matte paint on the front that felt almost like velvet, the buttons clicked nicely, the UI was both gorgeous and practical, the desktop software was the same (after the first couple revisions). I was really sad when mine got stolen from my dorm room a couple years after I got it, even though I had a smartphone by that point.

Bonus entry: the GameCube controller. With that huge, luscious analog stick and that huge, luscious A button. And the overall shape fit the hand really nicely too. For any game that didn't make prominent use of the secondary analog stick, I think it was and still is the best game controller out there.
I'm not too political/ideological about it, but Alphabet kept it's G in the acronym, Meta will keep it's F. I may revisit once they don't get >90% of their revenue from Google Services and Facebook + IG. But I do think if we're gonna be pedantic about Meta, we should be the same with Alphabet.
When I had carpal tunnel syndrome 10 years ago someone on HN recommended the Harvard RSI program that follows Sarno’s technique.

It took work but it literally cured me. Went on to use the same techniques for back pain and haven’t had that in many years.
This is a fascinating response, partly because of how passionately I disagree.

I loved Mario Kart for SNES and N64.

After that, Nintendo seemed to have no idea what people even liked about the games.

They added more characters, more cars, and more level interference, meaning that you were competing less and less on skill.

Worse, your choices for character and car could have enormous and difficult to predict effects on your performance.

After the N64 game, I found that series to be astonishingly boring. My one friend who enjoys it can't find anyone to play it with him.
Not sure why they didn't invest in trains.. seems so silly to truck everything out if its going long haul.
I am not sure what your point is about intention. Institutional and systemic causes of what? You are extremely non-specific about what your actual argument is, you just say repeatedly how in vogue it is and that people intend things different to outcomes...but I think my earlier reply would likely be repeated.

Right, you are hung up on the idea that the purpose of the OP is to prove "reality". Again, reality is nothing to do with it...it isn't relevant, it makes no sense in the context of this discussion.

And it does reflect the deployment of the concept because college students are humans who have thoughts...so you can use the same tools that are used in a clinical setting because you are also dealing with humans there. As I mentioned, cognitive distortions occur in all people to some degree, that can result in something that needs treatment, it can have no effect...it just depends. But the point of the OP is to highlight that cognitive distortions are correlated to safetyism, it is not a diagnosis of anyone, it is nothing to do with any clinical phenomena.

Again, if you just look at the Wiki on cognitive distortions, it is fairly clear how the authors get to this conclusion. I would say that safetyism is a cognitive distortion (you are weighting improbable threats highly, attempting to read the mind of people you don't know, ironically making generalizations about people...this seems, to me, like it should be obvious...as is the situation we are seeing now where anxiety about this stuff has actually increased).
I've spent about the past 30 minutes reading the beginning of the book based on your recommendation, and really enjoying it.

Thank you for the suggestion!
Reducing demand on roads is a tough sell politically when most people are still car-reliant. People don’t see themselves as beneficiaries at all when they hear “congestion pricing” or “dedicated bus lanes” or “increased funding for public transit.”

In this case even that’s not being done. The government is just not continuing to subsidize car-based transit via roads at an adequate level to keep up with demand for car usage.

I do think a big part of the problem is that you need a critical mass of public transit before people can really ditch their cars. The network needs to be able to reach far away and enable more than just commuting to a desk job in the city center. And it needs times to remain in that state for all the businesses to rebalance around the public transit network (ie less reliance on huge shopping centers and strip malls only accessible by car). As a result I think you probably get a bit of a U shaped cost:benefit curve wrt funding of transit infrastructure.
Hey throwaway888abc,

Thank you so much for checking Creative Log out, I would love to know a little more about your experience. Your comment unfortunately didn't provide enough information for us to figure out what did not work for you.

Maybe we could have a conversation about your experience? Feel free to reach out to me at feedback@creativelog.io
Spoon, who would have thought? It just works
I know 2 young perfectly physically healthy people personally whose mental health deteoriorated to the point that they became suicidal. So forgive me if I take offense at your comment.
A felony would probably be for infliction of a life-threatening injury. I was punched in the face several times at the Broadway-Lafayette stop and the charge for the assaulting party was a misdemeanor. Still didn't make for a pleasant commute.
Ask HN: Will other govts follow suit of the Indian Govt on Cryptos?
It’s kind of ironic that the same is true for Google and Android.

Except Apple’s business isn’t built on advertising revenue.
The comment you are replying to is not suggesting that Apple is as egregious as Microsoft. Shittiness can be measured on absolute terms - one doesn't have to accept the lowest bar as the standard.
MSYS2. It’s bash+coreutils and a gcc/clang environment out of the box, and many more packages can be installed with pacman. And it doesn’t depend on POSIX emulation, it’s all native win32 builds of popular *nix tools (contrasted to Cygwin for example)
There hqve been gains in democracy in the capitalism context. From the 19th century to the 1970's power was slowly whittled away from the rentier class, but ever since then they have made a huge comeback and now the financilisation kf the economy is becoming a drain due to the debt servicing costs. Michael Hudson writes a great deal about it.
There is another problem even after asking for your ID - how can they verify it's you (based on the photo on the ID) when you have a face mask?
Unfortunately this ties in with the source article above. Idleness is key to the ability to figure out what you want to do in the first place. What gives you joy and meaning has to come from a combination of the idleness, and within.

I guess, the first thing would just to start being ok with "Doing nothing". Accept that your inability to work on projects outside of work is not an inability, but a necessary outlet for your brain to relieve itself of the multi-decade long stressors that have been building up. But I don't know how long it would take or even if it would work, having that interspersed with that enforced structure. Each time you get to the point where you might start being ok with it, and maybe able to start learning and developing the skill, the PTO you have for the entire year is very likely exhausted. And that's assuming it only takes your brain a month to experience some incredible, miraculous form of relief from these stresses.

It's an incredibly depressing state of affairs.
Honorable mention to Rock Auto, which has a similarly dead simple shopping UI.
Webvan didn't work, until it did one day.

These sorts of casual dismissals assume that the underlying technological landscape doesn't change, and that all organizations execute identically on product. Neither assumption holds true.
> but this feature was not used in UNIX

I believe this was actually used (to a limited degree) in later releases of 2BSD, as features from 4BSD were backported to the PDP-11, and the kernel ballooned in size such that overlays were in necessary. The authors of said overlays seemed rather exasperated by the whole thing, and I vaguely remember watching a talk on YouTube where someone recounted the (apocryphal?) tale of them pushing their pdp-11 out the window and cheering.
What a masterful headline.
"Acute toxicity would be caused by doses of vitamin D probably in excess of 10,000 IU/day, which result in serum 25(OH)D concentrations >150 ng/ml (>375 nmol/l). That level is clearly more than the IOM-recommended UL of 4,000 IU/day. Potential chronic toxicity would result from administration of doses above 4,000 IU/day for extended periods, possibly for years, that cause serum 25(OH)D concentrations in the 50–150 ng/ml (125–375 nmol/l) range (15)."

I don't particularly like the ads, but I understand they are needed to sustain many businesses (either online or elsewhere.) Would I prefer alternative payment methods? Maybe, depending on the publisher, and the price of the content.

I'm not completely sure what's the end goal of Google here, but if it this can reduce privacy invasion and tracking (as performed by most sites these days), and be similar to iOS' IDFA, where you can opt-out or reset the token, I'd prefer that.
> I also think that the JVM object model is quite limiting for numerical computing. They still don’t support value types

This is mostly true, but the primitives are value types and you can get some things done with them. (Not enough to make Java good for these use cases, no.) I.e. write float[] instead of Float[] and you have a contiguously allocated region of memory that can be efficiently accessed.
I encourage everyone eligible to get vaccinated, but vaccination won't end the pandemic. It will end when everyone has been infected.

The best evidence indicates that there was another coronavirus pandemic caused by HCoV-OC43 in 1889. It killed a bunch of people worldwide. Now the virus is still endemic and most of us get infected as youths which protects us later in life.

There is no requirement for lockdowns or travel restrictions. Those are politician overreactions which cause more harm than benefit. It's time to accept the risk and move on.
Your argument says we should be doing this forever. There will always be viruses that we transmit to each other. Always was. We never took this kind of moral grandstanding before. Why are we doing this for this one specific virus?

I’m sorry, your argument just doesn’t make sense. You are arguing we should always be masked forever.

Ask HN: Flutter vs. React Native – which one do you prefer?
Hello HN:

I have been developing apps for iOS and Android for about 10 years. Started with Objective C and Java and then moved to Swift and Kotlin. I don't have much web dev experience though (mostly vanilla JS) but do have lots of mobile dev and backend dev experience in node js and bit of Rust.

Have you switched from native to cross platform dev?

Have you tried both flutter and react native?

Which one did you prefer and why?

Thanks!

Edit: I did start learning flutter yesterday and it seems pretty decent so far. 2 problems I do have are:

1. Too must nesting (which some say can be solved by breaking down everything into smaller widgets but seems like a lot of extra code work).

2. Flutter for web dev is absolute trash and useless as it seems to just draw the content using canvas instead of actually creating the html tree.
While this is exciting work, I'm really terrified that the efficacy of this treatment will cause doctors to jump on this modality for a number of disorders it's not really suited for, as what is happening with CBT. There are a number of treatments that are great if done with the right intent, but when they go into a mass treatment setting it loses connection with the humanistic portion. I could see doctors jumping to over prescribe this for pain or other conditions without listening to the patient or worse blaming the patient when the treatment didn't work for them, which is basically what's happening when say someone with physiological issues gets suckered into doing CBT for insomnia.

I do think it's important we take these holistic approaches to pain relief but the medical institution and worse yet insurance will bungle this in the US and I'm scared for that :( But glad to learn of it since I can get a copy of John Samo's book.

Another treatment that has shown anecdotal success for chronic pain is Internal Family Systems therapy. I feel like that one would be a lot harder to mess up.
I think deleting wallet will have the unintended side effect that you now cannot use Apple Pay with a 3rd party credit card . So even with an iPhone you would have to take out your credit cards to pay in store and cannot use touch or Face ID to pay in apps.
To mRNA vaccines?
I agree with you on everything, except 94% is out of date. 35% of ICU patients are now vaccinated, 46% in the 60+ age group. And the percentage keeps rising, especially in the most vulnerable group > 60.

Check out their weekly reports, the relevant tables are usually around page 21 or 22. In the most recent one, it's on page 24.

The actual infection fatality rate in the US isn't "a few percent". It's more like 0.6%.

Mixer Tap. In the '90s when my parents installed one of those in the bathroom, it was radical, blew my mind.
>The series seems more interested in shoehorning diversity and anti-establishment rhetoric rather than painting the political odyssey that Asimov imagined. I am imensely dissappointed with the show both as an interpretation of his work and standalone sci-fi series.

I didn't take that from the series at all. Rather, I found it to be overly moralistic, with references to the destructiveness of religious fervor and a lack of vision WRT the vastness of the galactic empire envisioned by Asimov.

I'd say that rather than being anti-establishment, it's much more pro-establishment, where "the establishment" are the ones on the inside trying to good, while the corrupt ones do evil to their self-righteous, morally superior betters and equally evil outsiders, horrifying all the "right-thinking" people.

It's pretty standard TV fare which, sadly, gives short shrift to Asimov's smart and insightful view of humans and how they wield and are molded by power.

I'll watch it, both for the car crash in-slow-motion reaction of how they butcher the story, and for the pleasure of knowing Apple won't get a nickel out me for doing so.
What credibility does the WHO have at this point?
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6158375/
I was more referring to issues with shipping and ordering outside of the US. But you are entirely right about them focusing on American measurements, their selection of metric parts is much weaker and more expensive than their customary (main?) Sizes of parts. I do wonder if they are or will be working on improving that any time soon.
If the alternatives include "Google Maps from about 6 years ago", then yes, yes I have.

I don't really fault Google that much for their design decisions here, as Maps have really morphed into "Local Search", which makes sense for most use cases, but I agree with the GP, if you are just, for example, wanting to look at a map of a new area (i.e. not where you live), I think Maps is worse than it was some years ago.
Running Linux on the GPD Pocket 3 mini-laptop
How did this PayPal spoof email pass SPF, DKIM and DMARC
Main reason I'm still with Windows 10 (perma-watermarked editions) on my laptop and my PC is pure inertia. I've been telling myself I should switch to Linux if only to learn (am a work-in-progress coder), but have procrastinated it forever. I've just got some Linux exposure thru my Raspberry Pis on Raspbian.

I would however need to be able to play AoE2:DE on my PC, might have to keep a Win10 partition on the PC if I make the move as, AFAIK, it doesn't work great on Linux (haven't looked into it in a while, maybe outdated).
I spent years writing ad-hoc SQL, and had no occasion to learn about or use ORMs, but I did dabble a little in T-SQL and PL/SQL, and they just seemed wrong to me. Not integrated in a clean manner, not derived from a single vision, and so on. I guess what people call an "impedance mismatch". There is excessive overhead just from switching from SQL to the imperative language. I've gotten four orders of magnitude speedup by reformulating a T-SQL script as a single SQL query.

But recently I learned about Power Query (the "M" language standing for Mashup) and I immediately wanted so badly for SQL to acquire all the good aspects of it. Not as a separate module, but perhaps as a successor language.

In particular, the way it allows functions (and higher-order functions) to be defined is wonderful.

Many people don't like SQL, but I never had the feeling that here is what it's missing until now.

I qualify my comments above by mentioning I have no experience with OLTP or in general SQL that needs to be performant on the millisecond to second timescale.

Instead, I've always been working with queries on the basis that they need to run in 5 minutes, or ten, or fifteen, or an hour, as opposed to a day, or a week, or a month.
From the very early days of the Wuhan outbreak it was clear, and was the consensus of experts, that the virus was much more serious than a seasonal flu. There was indeed disagreement as to the best ways to combat it, but it was not said (by anyone credible that I saw) nor implied that the virus itself wasn't serious. I'm sure you could find an occasional counter-example, as there are going to be people in any field who are wrong about any given subject, but the consensus was pretty clear. (Note that I'm talking about actual experts, not politicians or pundits.)

I don’t know if it’s that straightforward of a comparison—while it may be true that taxis are bad for traffic, you have to take into account what the use of them is: transporting people around. If you consider the alternative where taxis don’t exist, at least some percentage of taxi passengers would probably just bring their own personal cars into the city, thus making traffic much worse.

Thus, though it’s true that the impact of taxis on traffic is significant, the alternative is much worse. People still need to get around.

Thank you very much for this. You summarize my thoughts exactly. SARS-COV-2 is a real physical virus that can ruin your day. But Covid isn’t the only illness it has seemed to cause. It’s also caused one of the greatest mass hysteria events in human existence. This meme/virus we’ve been passing around for 630 days and counting is as much a illness of the mind as it is something that makes you physically I’ll.
