No kidding. The number of projects and developers that I see that refuse to use the tools is quite interesting. One project I worked on dozens of engs say 'your code is so easy to read'. Then one dude comes along and it 'gives him a headache'. He also spent way too much time refactoring and renaming things. He became obsessed by it. Every few weeks changing the spacing, indentation, and naming conventions. Then expecting everyone to keep up with whatever decision he made at 10PM on some random Friday 3 weeks ago in a fit of open every file and change everything. He looked like the hardest working person in the group but he was adding zero new features. It killed the project. The worst are the groups that say 'everyone is a professional we do not have to deal with that'. You then end up with dozens of modules with whatever rando style they happen to like that day. Pick one. Put it in the tool. Stick to it for a decent amount of time. If it is not working bring it up in a meeting.
These folks also showed up on my Facebook feed yesterday.

Facebook marketing + pretty weird article* + fairly silly idea.

I wonder if the idea is to get their hands on some unusually credulous investors?

* Seriously, read the article -- it is a weird mix of vagueness and appeals to the credentials of the people they are quoting.
Exactly. You can't teach people that sometimes their intuition is wrong if they don't have any intuition to begin with.
Oh man I can think of so many I’m not sure.

- Accepting the first offer I get. Hell I still do this, mostly because if the money is right, I get sick of interviewing. Not doing this likely could have yielded me the money I’m making now, years ago.

- I think the biggest mistake though wasn’t even really intentional. I just didn’t have a good enough understanding of the files, and the intricacies, strategies, and realities of having a career in the field. Looking back, I should have just grinded leetcode and tried for FAANG from the start. I’m stuck in a certain, generally disliked sector of the industry and getting out is very difficult. No one seems to be interested in anything I’ve done except for my past professional work history.
Classic "both sides"....useless.
Bit of a spoiler :(

I prefer to watch analysis of games from YouTubers like Agadmator or Jerry from Chessnetwork and discover who the winner was by watching the game.

I wonder if these long games are not particularly helpful. Most chess final games end in draws as players are reluctant to create an imbalance and instead play it safe. There tends to be more exciting games played in games with a shorter time limit.

I'm not advocating bullet but perhaps they could try 30 minute matches instead?
Rethought and improved, yes. Abandoned as fundamentally broken, no.
Equitable Math is not "some people". It's the original branding for the program under contention in this forum.
While Twin studies can explain like 50% of the observed variance with heritability of IQ, genome wide association studies using Polygenic scores are only able to predict 5% of the variance from the genome itself when n=O(10^6). The truth is most likely somewhere between those two.

Predicting IQ from genetic information alone should remove all the of compounding factors (except those introduced by IQ measurement itself) but can only serve as a lower bound unless predictor overfitted the study data.
Very interesting! I'm a cyclist too, but I haven't read about the battery, how long it last? And the lenses have good quality/are fast to switch from clear to dark? (by the way the price tagof about 400€ is expensive to what looks like a bit more than "a toy")
I’m curious how folks here manage a midday nap. I usually fall asleep quite well at night, but unless I’m unusually exhausted (stayed up too late, one of the kids was up during the night), I can’t calm my mind enough to actually sleep during the day. Even if I can manage to do it, it takes a long time, so a 20-minute nap really takes an hour+ given the wind-down time.
This looks like an interesting product but how do you get them to wear it consistently? Half the problem in hip fractures is mentation: Many elderly people have decreased balance, decreased pain sense, and decreased muscle strength. And yet they're not cognizant of any of this, so they continue to try to behave the way they did 20 years ago and of course they fall. Getting them to become aware of their limitations would prevent a lot of falls but it is very difficult. I'd expect that getting them to wear this belt would be similarly difficult.
Having a kid is a choice they made. You don't choose to be born.

That's kind of like in BASIC incrementing line numbers by 10 instead of one so you can more easily add lines that you will eventually realize are needed to be shoehorned in.

It's the same codebase AFAIK, just ported to multiple kernels.

I think part of the issue here is how overloaded the term "bare metal" has become. In context I believe the parent is contrasting unikernel on hypervisor to container on kernel, seeing one coarse privilege boundary in both cases, reducing the obvious benefits of a unikernel design.
Imagine how much society would improve if all the dirt got aired.

Seems like a weird false dichotomy - even in the olden days of pseudoscience on race, obviously people didn't believe that races couldn't interbreed, as they observed such themselves.

The fact remains that if you run PCA and clustering on genetic data as in
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_genetic_clustering#/medi...
you will get groups that generally correspond with Caucasian/SS African/East Asian/Amerindian. You can call those "races" or something else, but they are not just artifacts of society/culture.
Any kind of freeform curve, rotation, or continuous form across the entire page is extremely difficult, as is content that is staggered, diagonal or overlapped is difficult.

For example, https://svija.love/en/imagine would be almost impossible in HTML.

The main thing that makes HTML difficult is that everything is interlocking — you can't just drag the H1 headline down 20px and over 100px, because there's already something there, or there's nothing to hold the H1 in place.

I would love to know more about your project if you'd like to share. After today, I recommend posting to HN.

> All students deserve powerful mathematics; we reject ideas of natural gifts and talents (Cimpian et al, 2015; Boaler, 2019) and the “cult of the genius” (Ellenberg, 2015).

could be replaced with:

and still make the same pedagogical point, that all students should be taught with the expectation they will succeed at learning mathematical concepts.

Putting the emphasis on believing people do not differ in natural ability, is obviously false and therefor detracts from the overall goal.
Engineering researcher who suddenly left postdoc has ninth paper retracted

I have been a professional artist for about twenty years and it is my considered opinion that any "rule" given out to beginners is actually a warning: violate this rule and making something that looks good becomes a lot harder, so you should probably better make sure you're not violating any other "rules" unknowingly.

If you know damn well that you're violating multiple rules then sure, go for it - break your perspective, fill the drawing with tangents, shade with black, etc, break the fuck out of these rules, and you can end up with something pretty good. You have to know your shit backwards and forwards to really pull this off; go look at how solid Picasso's pre-Cubist stuff was, for instance.

There are good reasons to choose to use black and there are good reasons to avoid using it; this article talks about several. IIRC, one of the reasons painting teachers traditionally like to tell you to avoid it is because most commonly available black pigments can very quickly ruin the saturation of any other color you mix it with, ending up with unpleasantly grey shadows. But if you do more graphic work that treats each color as a largely separate entity then a lot of solid black can make stuff positively glow.
> For better or worse, NSO's product is a weapon. How is it any different from an M-16? Where is the outrage towards the people who used this weapon against the State Department?

It is highly unlikely that NSO group actually gives out their exploits, based on what we know about previous exploitations that have become known. It's more like they offer an interface to execute their exploits on a given target. The fact that they can block entities from using their service, after having had access to it (like they supposedly did in this case), very strongly supports this hypothesis. Hence they're offering a service, to use weapons for (or rather, in the name of) some (government) entity that pays them money to do so.

Imagine bombing-as-a-service, as an instance. That's much more like it, and your argument doesn't hold in that case.

Your eBay account has been suspended
Got an email from eBay this morning:

"
Hello brokeninfinity,
We wanted to let you know that your eBay account has been permanently suspended because of activity that we believe was putting the eBay community at risk. We understand that this must be frustrating, but this decision was not made lightly and it’s important that we keep our marketplace safe for everyone. Learn more about how and why accounts can be suspended...
"

I'm a long time, infrequent eBay user, mostly buy stuff, 331 stars, 100% feedback rating. Haven't used eBay recently, no idea what just happened. Maybe someone was trying to hack my account? The suspension email has no reply address. I tried contact eBay through their web chat, and they say 'Sorry Scott, live support's currently unavailable.'

I guess I'll stop using eBay now. The summary execution with no explanation and no escalation path and no appeal is not endearing. Count me added to the chorus of folks calling for regulations that will eliminate this sort of abusive behavior against consumers. We need some sort of 'due process' required of companies that operate above a certain scale. I mean, I shudder to think of the position I would be in right now if I depended on eBay for anything important. Thank goodness for me that I do not, but not everyone can say the same.

What do you think?
I had that gas station!

I agree with you on the blocky -ness of the cars. I wonder how the distribution of sizes changed. As the complexity of the design goes up you need different distribution of sizes, smaller for more detail and larger for bigger structures. I always had a good balance of blocks, never too many of one size and never running out of others.
Why force the change onto customers though? Most people understand the difference between a debit card and a credit card, and as someone who's had Privacy.com cards denied because it was a prepaid MC debit card and not a real CC, I've experienced what the problem was. But for merchants where the prepaid debit card works, why can I not continue using that card number there?

Privacy.com is a wonderful service, but it already automatically locks to the first merchant the card is used on. If it's already working for that merchant, Why do I have to change the card number? Use the credit card updater mechanism (the same mechanism for when a CC gets stolen but my Netflix keeps working and they get the new number somehow) for all merchants that support that - that should keep the customer load down.
That is very different than claiming different people have different innate abilities.
Stand up for your needs. And deliver sufficiently that your manager prefers to keep you working. The one exception where I tried to work 100% in an open office led to me catching the flu and staying stick for 4 months. People complained about my coughing so they gave me a private office rather than allow me to WFH until I felt better (got to keep the private office though). I had no complaints, but just about no one is going to do that.
The fault lies with the person who didn’t send things out using bcc

> Leaving aside the issue of the minority who medically can't vaccinate.

Perhaps nitpicking, but it isn't just a matter of whether you can vaccinate. For example, cancer patients can often still receive the vaccine (depending on their health and current phase of treatment), but that doesn't mean that they aren't still at a dramatically higher risk from exposure to Covid than others, despite being vaccinated.
For starters:

1. Fitting text to curves.

2. Wrapping text to curves.
I am only replying to your incendiary comment to say that your characterization is insulting and wrong, "fucking keto diet"(s) are having results for many people, whether you like it or not

Others, please research this person further, he's not a "loon" / "crackpot" just a regular smart young person who also happens to be a cancer researcher.

BTW, keto also cures epilepsy, and that's known since the early 20th century, is that also triggering to you?
>Imagine you're walking outside, trying to read an article with your phone,

I'd suggest stop walking and reading a phone at the same time.
"Leveraging synergies to create strategic multiphasic solutions" is 100% buzzword. There's no real information being conveyed there.

"Investigating the social structural factors underlying the speech community helps us to understand the practice of bullshitting" contains jargon, but is actually telling you something. (Probably. I don't 100% understand the jargon involved, but inferring from related things I do understand, this should probably be a coherent sentence. Regardless, the words being used can convey actual information.)

Just because you can't understand something doesn't mean it's bullshit. It being bullshit means there was nothing to understand in the first place. It's conveying no meaningful information, just trying to make you think the person who said it knows what they're talking about.

If you want to try to redefine "bullshit" to mean "stuff I can't understand", then you're welcome to do so, but it's going to be about as useful as Humpty Dumpty declaring that "glory" means "a nice knock-down argument".
Correct. Like I said, he had had no business remarking on their list of associations or dis-associations.
> Another article by Haverbeck-Wetzel in the Voice of Conscience (November/December 2005) posited a thesis that Adolf Hitler was "just not to be understood from the believed Holocaust or his alleged war obsession, but only by a divine mission in the world-historical context."

> In the Hamburg court, she insisted the status of Auschwitz as a place of death is "not historically proven" and is "only a belief".

I think she deserved her 10 months in prison.
Maybe you could go with "Caltic" ($8k). Then you could go with a Celtic theme, like use a 4-leaf-clover as the icon and a tagline like "Make your own luck" or something like that

Or if you don't mind spending some money, calenda is 30k
Is Blender substantially different/better than, say, Cinema 4D? Or are people more excited about it because it's free/open source?
I agree that a lot of theses restrictions are serous restrictions to civil liberties, but they are not fascistic in nature and our attitude towards the government is quite different than the attitude of ppl from the USA towards their government. I see the power of social media platforms and political radicalization as greater problems than pressure or even mandates for vaccines. What bugs be though is that when people voiced concerns about "indirect vaccine mandates"(=pressuring people to get vaccinated by excluding them from social gatherings, etc) the political mainstream claimed that that won't happen and that that are just right-wing conspiracy theories. I think these kinds of lies smell far more like fascism than vaccine mandates themselves
> we shouldn't shy away from saying that if we want an honest and productive conversation

What makes you think anybody wants an honest and productive conversation? One half is just trying to get the other half to slip up and say something - anything - they can cancel them for saying. The other half is just keeping their heads down and trying not to lose their job for heresy.

What does 'right to encryption' actually mean in this new plan? Can anyone explain in English?

For example, Google Translate (always dubious) gives the following*: "The state must also offer the possibility of real encrypted communication". Which may mean either 'e2e communication' or 'e2e communication except government' or even merely 'the state must create an encrypted messaging solution and allow everyone to use it, but nothing else will change' (and no one will actually use it due to scale effects Whatsapp etc. have).

There are milder / alternate forms of CF that are often diagnosed late in life. They're often mild enough that a doctor will immediately rule out CF.

That was my first thought exactly!
The problem is that our societies have made college a status symbol - everybody is supposed to strive for a degree even if what they're planning to do doesn't require it. This is particularly pronounced for white collar jobs, even though many of them are really more akin to tradecraft, and should be properly taught in trade school.

(I would argue that the majority of what we call "software engineering" is actually of this nature.)
> First up, everyone is different. Some people can be alone for days without fuss, others feel like you.

This is why I generally hate online advice.

1) Not everyone is exactly the same and can copy your mindset/routine/etc. and be fine.

2) Very rarely do internet strangers understand you and your situation intimately enough to give proper advice leading to repeated cliches and other things that end up pissing off a lot of people.
Thank you for pointing this out!

Having my fingers leave home row as little as possible is vastly superior to reaching for arrow keys and having to reposition my fingers on home row.

With vi that made immediate sense to me. Switching to HHKB layout made even more sense, because I now can reach both CTRL and backspace easily without lifting my fingers from home row.

I did change my keymap even further, so that arrow keys are mapped to fn+hjkl. This way, I can navigate everything just with hjkl (:

Neat idea; I'm working on a project in a similar space but taking a very different approach. One question - why AI and not Figma?
No legal system anywhere can be absolute about not determining what the "truth" is, even when it comes to speech. The most common example is yelling "fire!" in a crowded theatre and causing a panic. Or posting a bomb threat to social media. That kind of mischief is illegal in most places as there's actual harm. And the law will have to determine the truth that there was no fire or no bomb, and that your speech had no purpose except to cause harm.

Another example is speech used to commit fraud or extortion. Were your profitable lies to exploit the vulnerable based on a genuine belief, or did you have criminal intent? The law will have to decide, and the situation will not always be clear, and often it comes down to determining intent.

In the case of holocaust denial, in Germany the potential harm of allowing it is seen as more genocide, so they've calibrated their free speech laws in respect of that. But there's never an exact place to draw the line; every legal system is going to have to make such judgment calls.

I'd expect if we lived in the sort of society that would execute the head of the NSA for treason or something similar when the Snowden revelations came out, it would have societally beneficial chilling effect on intelligence organization brazenness.

Unfortunately, it seems intelligence is mostly immune from liability, and lack of consequences lets the rot fester.
Trying to flee a crowd that attempted to detain him for shooting someone.

Let's play hypothetical here. School shooter is bullied and hit in a fight. He shoots bully dead and starts running. He then shoots two people tackling him.

Is he not an active shooter?

Why are you doing such mental gymnastics to lionize this kid? You can debate over whether he should go to jail or not, but the reality is he extra-judicially killed 2 people. Doesn't that make you feel weird to defend that, even if you disagree politically with his victims?
Ask HN: Experiences with alternative front end-back end architectures
I've been intrigued by a couple ideas I've seen pop up, but I want to hear experiences with either approach as compared with our standard frontend framework + backend framework + REST/GraphQL/RPC architecture.

Also I'm aware some of us never stopped fully rendering serverside. That's cool. I think that makes a lot of sense in some places. But I have an okay understanding of the tradeoffs there already.

The first alternative architecture has been discussed a bit recently: a frontend which directly sends SQL queries to the backend, getting data back and rendering with a typical frontend framework.

The other alternative is to have the server do all the rendering, keep (most) working user state in a serverside structure, and hold open a websocket to stream effects from the client and updated components from the server. This is almost serverside rendering, but the server can focus on just rendering the parts of the page which have changed.

Does anyone have practical experience with these? Both sound cool, but I'm sure someone has a horror story or 2.

> So different people look different. Why is that an important principle of biology that needs to be developed in a textbook? How does it help us to understand anything?

Race strongly correlates with other things; for instance, per https://www.cdc.gov/heartdisease/facts.htm "White (Non-Hispanic)" men are most at risk of heart disease, and "American Indian or Alaska Native" are winning by several percentage points. That is deeply of scientific interest.
