The problem I have with these numbers based tallies of history is that it the exact opposite of what you suggest.

Its not a constructive rework of history, acknowledgment and 'Vergangenheitsbewältigung'.

Its a political hammer to demonize and to demand reparations for a history that most people that were involved are long dead.

And somebody that wanted to make the opposite argument could make it by using different assumptions. To make such numbers based argument you need are realist alternative to compare against and we can endlessly argue about that.

When we talk about history we both need to talk about the exploitation of Bengal and we need to talk about how India is a democracy and how that is pretty crazy state of affairs that one would have considered highly unlikely in 1600. Considering every other great gun-powder empire is not a democracy. Trying to sum up 500 years of history into a single monetary number is not 'Vergangenheitsbewältigung' to me.

P.S: And btw, as I Swiss person I would really like some of that sweet French and Austrian money. Thanks.

I think this is what ATS does, it does not have loops, only recursion.
I've been a Fish user for 10 years!

One key thing I like from Fish is their command history feature, where you can use the up/down to move backward/forward the history.

I can't find a way to get this to work in ZSH I don't like having to CTRL+R for going backward (how do you even go forward, I can't remember :D)
Exactly. I know a lot of people will disagree but my advice to more junior guys is always get rid of the toys and learn the tools.

> I write a view for each access method (so I can change the schema without worrying about changing every access method), and a function for each update/insert/delete (for the same reasons).

God how I hate supporting such architecture. It loses edit history unless you're very careful (which many developers are not) and do absolutely every piece of DDL in a versioned migration, and makes DDL extremely painful because you frequently have to drop two dozen functions and views (which depend on each other recursively) and then recreate them.

> Why so much hate for loops?

I don't think there's any _hate_ for loops, however, they are a very common pattern, so it's not unreasonable to argue it can be further refined/abstracted.

Most people agree that "for x in y: foo(x)" is an improvement over "for(int i=0; i<=n; i++) {foo(x)}". It's not wild to argue that "foo' x" is an improvement over "for x in y: foo(x)"
A few tricks that would likely make a difference:

1) set a wake up time and stick to it - let yourself go to sleep when you naturally feel sleepy
2) turn down your lights and phone/computer screens in the evening and take melatonin at the same time every evening - this will help sync up your natural circadian rhythm to your desired time to be getting sleepy, naturally
3) speak with your doctor about sleep difficulties - you may have an undiagnosed sleep disorder or might just need help with building the habits of sleep hygiene
My first collaboration with another HNer was with IMS and The Program. I remember reaching out to him to see if he would be interested in working together since both his series and my technology were popular among HNers. He was game, and now BeeLine Reader is available on his website and transcripts for The Program.

Since then, I’ve done collaborations with other HNers, and there are a couple more in the works. Love this community (and The Program, which comes for us all)!
Do we calculate the weight of all neutrinos in the Known mass of the universe? Or is that part of Dark Matter?

I am on phone now and can’t search, but: the original Pfizer report at 6 months listed 15:14 vaccine:placebo deaths (of which 1:2 were attributed to covid). It was updated on the FDA website to say 21:17 (still 1:2 Covid) which is surprising, because the data collection supposedly stopped 2 months before the original publication date.

Regardless, the only double blind RCT ever for the Pfizer vaccine found 2 Covid related deaths in the placebo arm, and 1 in the vaccine arm - over 22,000 participants each. Make of it why you will.

Additionally, the all cause mortality of the vaccine arm is 24% higher than the placebo arm. Again, make of that what you will.
Nah. He signal boosts all the worst conspiracies of the pandemic; "Pfizermectin", abuse of VAERS data, the Pfizer "whistle blower", you name it. While trying to maintain the appearance of showing both sides neutrally and objectively. But look at his most watched videos and the comments on his videos. He's clearly playing into the anti-vax crowd, whether intentionally or not.

I completely reject the notion that nurses are better equipped than doctors to interpret studies in this context; biology, pharmacology etc. In some practical applications of medicine, maybe.

I grew up hearing scary stories about Candiru fish eating *live* people through their insides. But as Wikipedia[1] describes there aren't many reliably documented cases.

CBTI is incredibly effective for all kinds of sleeping issues but oh man does it suck for the first two weeks.

It's not very sophisticated but you really need to be motivated to stick with the plan.
Neat trick. Didn't know about it.

In pandas it would be item.foo = bar, _as long as_ bar isn't something you can iterate over.
I expect adults to be able to read between the hype in the article. What is a 'freedom-oversensitive audience'? The term reeks of privilege at first whiff.

It sounds to me like you (and many people) are OK with abandoning/suspending the constitution (assuming U.S.) because of a slightly more deadly flu. It sounds like you're amenable to pushing authoritarianism as long as it suits you. That dog won't hunt bro. A lot of people are fed up with the blatantly unreasonable responses to this virus. You have offered nothing substantive in your reply and no reasoning for them.

> Most people agree that "for x in y: foo(x)" is an improvement over "for(int i=0; i<=n; i++) {foo(x)}"

Well, I don't.

The second version is much clearer to me, for example, if I want to be sure about the running time of the code. Will it take one second or be instantaneous? The first example hides the length of y. I favor a programming style where all loops have clearly identifiable bounds. Using "iterators" hides these lenghts and makes the code much harder to reason about.

I am not a technocrat by any means. I don't even work any engineering company, much less software company. In last 5 years, I've stopped using Twitter, Facebook and Reddit. In my real life, I have absolutely nobody to talk about anything which is remotely intellectual or technology. Heck, I can't even talk about great movies, books and music. Have been suffering from depression practically all my life

While living such a life, HN is THE ONLY place where I get some sort of satisfaction. This is the only place where I find practically everyone smarter than me. This is the only place where people can discuss stuffs without any agenda, propaganda, hate or anything like that. This is the only place where comments offer better insights than the posted article. This is one of only two website (other is wikipedia) where people's positive efforts show up. This site has actually made me a critical thinker. People talk about stuffs, even about non technological topics, which people in my real life don't even have any clue about. This is the only place where I have to think thrice before commenting anything. I mean I can rarely add anything to discussion which is better than other posts. There is so much to learn here.

And Dang, you are a great moderator. You are taking good care of this beautiful garden called HN.

Thank you HN and all the members. You guys don't realize how much change you bring in lives of people like me who have no direct connection to 'intellectual' world.
My bias is from watching a lot of smart people experiment well.

I think you are not wrong in the limit, but it's a bit more complex than that:

1. You need to set expectations up front of what it means to contribute.

2. You need to be willing to spend time to help ensure people know how to iterate it, etc. Check in with them, etc. We often expect people to just figure out what you want or be completely self-sufficient. Especially with folks who have never interacted with your project, how could they possibly know how to do it well?
We often motivate (positively or negatively).

But we often suck at training people at things they aren't used to. Training goes a long way.
etc

Again, this will never work 100% of the time. You will find people who in fact, will just want to get it in and run away. I'm just trying to get that percent to say 5-10%, rather than 80% :)

I agree with the aspect you see - people are not always willing to trust. This often turns into "you are all helping me with my software" rather than "we are all working together to produce software". In practice - the process i gave is also one of the only good ways i know to build long term trust and contributor relationships. You trust them to work on their code once added, and to care. They trust you to help them. That is how you start to build good team relationships. They will be good at things you are not, you will be good at things they are not.

I'm not sure how you ever build a trust or community relationship if you say "i don't want to trust you to do anything, please drop it on me in a perfect state so i don't have to trust you"

I quit caffeine and alcohol, exercised daily, and took melatonin every night for about six months.
To the contrary, a developer is MUCH MORE likely to fix bugs in merged code that has users, than in an unmerged PR.

It's the users that give motivation to work on the project. Working on a PR is like working on spec. Working on the development branch gives you direct access to the "payment" of users using your code.
I used to have the same problem. I used to sleep around 2-3 am. I tried everything from turning to a strict schedule to putting phone in a different room but none of it worked. Then read about Chronotherapy where you delay your usual sleep time by 3 hours every day for a week until you reach the desired time then you stick to it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronotherapy_(sleep_phase) Now I go to bed around 10:30 and it has vastly improved my wellbeing.

Non-ACM-paywalled paper from the home page of Marc Feeley: http://www-labs.iro.umontreal.ca/~feeley/papers/YvonFeeleyVM...
I mentioned above that I feel like the noUncheckedIndexAccess flag isn't a proper solution either. If I pass a Record<'foo', string>, then the compiler should allow me to get 'foo' out of the object as a string, not a string|undefined.

But you're right that arrays have a similar issue. But I feel like the object-like types have more information for the compiler. An Array<T> doesn't have its length as part of the type (but thankfully, TS does have tuple-types, which is neat). A Record does have information about its keys, so we should be able to infer more information about it. I feel like the Record issue is more akin to if TypeScript had an Array<T, N> type, but still let me access the 3 index of an Array<string, 3> and treat it as a string, even though it should be able to figure out that only indexes 0-2 have strings.
yikes! glad you climbed back.
Part of the reason for that is because APL-family languages support this feature as a first class citizen and are designed with them in mind. Numpy has to, for better or worse, work within the confines of the Python grammar.
It isn't. "For x in y" is literally what we say when speaking as humans unlike that quote thing.
> then recover

If you do much physical activity and train for it (I'm a mediocre ultra runner) you'll know that as you work the body breaks a bit through the effort and your improvements come during rest days and easy weeks when the muscles “build back better”. I find the mind has similar behaviour so if you've been pulling extra time for a short while you need to properly take it easy, not just return to normal levels of effort, in order to recover and be ready for the next challenge. If you've been pulling extra time for a long while, then you are at risk of burning out and this is even more important.
Wikipedia has some major issues for real research and there are good reasons why universities don't allow students to include wikipedia links as citations in their papers. The information there simply isn't curated properly.

A main gripe is that more often than not, the supporting links for claims made in wikipedia articles are broken or of poor quality. Another is the tendency of ideologues to remove anything they disagree with in their particular domain.

It's useful for finding trivial information (flag of Botswana, say) but otherwise I usually block wikipedia from search results.

Bandcamp is amazing. You can often stream the music before you buy, so you don’t risk buying stuff you don’t like. Then you have the option of buying a physical copy or just digital. If you buy a physical copy you can still download the flac and start listening immediately while you wait for the record/CD/cassette to arrive.

Bandcamp then goes beyond and publishes articles, blog posts and podcasts where you can discover new music. Even though this is technically advertised content, it feels more like an actual music article/radio show that you can enjoy regardless of if you intend to buy the featured music or not.

I can’t recommend Bandcamp enough.

OP here. The point is to illustrate with a graphic rather than English.

It's already explicit that it's a computational model. I can still edit it to emphasize that more, and did.

How much exercise do you do in your week? Exercise and warm showers in the evening has always helped me sleep at better times and I feel better in the morning.
Find books—Preferably physical—that are interesting to you and start reading around 9:00pm. It's a great way to wind down without looking at a screen.

I try workout at least every other day. Running, lifting, or even cardio at home.
I've had a lot of sleep problems in my life. I haven't solved them completely, but I've largely controlled them with a basket of measures. I wear a sleep mask, I get ready for bed around the same time every night, I only drink coffee before noon, I drink the same amount of caffeine every day, I go for a walk first-thing in the morning, I limit my alcohol intake, I try to keep my room cold when I sleep, I don't eat really heavy meals right before bed.

I don't follow this religiously - I'll stay out later and drink with my friends. But doing this as much as possible, and reverting to the routine when I stray, has improved the consistency and quality of my sleep.

Take advantage of the Circadian rhythm. Your body reacts to sunlight. Go outside soon after you wake up. I haven't set an alarm clock in years, now I just naturally wake up around the same time every day.

Sleep is high-variance, so any single measure you take will be difficult to notice. But if you create a system and stick to it, your body can probably adjust to any cycle you want.
It's something I've always struggled with as well.

- Melatonin is a great, cheap, natural sleep aid. You should only need 1-2mg. Take it an hour or two before bed. I believe you're not supposed to use it more than X nights in a row; look that up. But you can use it to establish a habit.

- Getting good exercise helps. If you're not currently exercising, anything is better than nothing: do some stretches, take a walk, etc.

- If you live somewhere where marijuana is legal, some strains can be good for sleep, but it may be a slightly extreme solution unless you've tried other solutions. I have nothing against marijuana but I would try other solutions first.

- I will of course not insult anybody's intelligence by mentioning ruling out stimulants as much as possible, especially later in the day.

Also, waking up early has been almost a challenge for me

It could be that your sleep quality is poor.

If you have been sleeping poorly for months or years, it can take weeks of good sleep to erase that. In the meantime you will be hungry for extra sleep.

Can also do some exercise in the morning. Once your body is in the habit of morning exercise it may anticipate this and wake up better.

If you have ruled out sleep quality issues, maybe stimulants are the way to go.
I've always found "Cup" as a measurement to be fun, in an engine of chaos kind of way.

Tasse - 120ml (4oz-ish), this is historically the base UOM of "coffee cup" originally encountered on coffee things. Often carelessly translated to "cup" in countries new to coffee, regardless of overlap with existing alternate meanings of "cup" as a measurement.

Demitasse - 60ml (2oz-ish), a cup for espresso.

Mug - Wikipedia says 8-12oz.

The USA definition of "coffee cup" as an amount one would serve themselves ranges anywhere from 8oz through over 20oz, depending on who you ask. USA-made coffee machine markings also vary, but are always smaller than consumers expect. Currently Black and Decker's "cup" is 5oz and Bunn's is 7oz, which means Bunn's standard 10 cup machine makes substantially more coffee than B&D's standard 12 cup machine.

Unless of course it is a cup of coffee in a recipe, in which case consider the provenance of your recipe and which standardized (or not...) version of a "cup" measurement is indicated before proceeding: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cup_(unit)

It is a little tough sometimes seeing the cost be higher than the equivalent meat product but I'm sure this capital raising has the potential to lead to lower unit costs. It cannot be because of input that prices are as high as they currently are.
