This story comes up on HN every now and then, I think at one point someone from the company showed up and explained how the license is checked before you leave the house and how there's warnings etc. when the subscription is expired.

One case where this happens a lot is papers that pick bad comparisons as state of the art. If you have the code, you can run it vs better configurations of existing tools to see if the promises still hold up.

Well, what it really comes down to is that there are 24 hours in a day and you can only look at one thing at a time.

If you're reading or watching video, you're either using RSS, or using Facebook or using twitter or tiktok or YouTube or whatever. If your screen time is already dedicated to doomscrolling your Facebook feed, it's not that there was a limited market for RSS, its that there's a limited market for content in general, and people moved to where the dopamine pathways get stimulated the most.
Not OP, but it’s cheaper in terms of time to just order it online and have it shipped to your house. One interaction and it shows up, vs going to a library or stationary shop, transferring the data or filling it out there, etc.

The Smithsonian has about a hundred objects listed with "gold lacquer repair", most items have a date and location listed which goes back to 16th century Japan [0]. To be fair, I suppose these repairs could have been done on old objects in more recent times, I'm not really sure if there are any writings or documents describing the process from that time period.

If it would be ambiguous then you would have to specify yes. But for the cases where the required type means there's only one implementation that could work, I don't see the value in having to specify.

> It forces the author to sit down and work through things in an orderly manner and they're still often difficult to read.

As a former academian: Papers are difficult to read primarily because the academic community does not value making them easier to read - no other reason. You may hear things like "papers should be written for other experts", but even that doesn't hold up to scrutiny.

They typically spend 99% of their research time on the actual research, and less than 1% on writing the paper. They definitely can afford the time and energy to make the papers easier to read, but game theory holds sway: Why should a particular researcher use his/her time to do it, when his/her peers will not appreciate it? It's purely an internal, cultural problem. There are no external constraints leading to this.

I've seen referees send papers back saying they contained too much explanation, and suggest leaving out most of the details - just include the big picture methodology and show the results. I can guarantee most who will read the paper would not be able to reproduce those details, if they ever want to. Likewise, I've found papers where I couldn't reproduce the results, because the results were wrong - but since including a derivation of your final expressions is discouraged, no referee caught the errors.
>"I find these and Apple "apologies" funny"

In what way is it an apology? People will continue to buy [product] despite the producer utilizing some bad market practices if they feel like they are still getting something valuable from the exchange. I am still angry about losing the audio jack on my iPhone but not enough switch platforms.

>"Well, having bad market practices is part of the product feature, so you can vote with your wallet for a product with less bells and whistles but better business practices."

Of course, I wasn't claiming otherwise. And, I wasn't talking about bells and whistles, I was talking about build quality and reliability. It's not a stretch to say that a Toyota will probably hold up better to wear and tear than a Ford would. That's a big factor in many people's choice of vehicles. I can easily see a person grudgingly accepting an $8/mo keyfob because they think the Corolla won't suffer from transmission issues the same way a Fiesta would.

> If you want an optional reference to something, maybe you don't entirely understand references. A reference isn't optional; it has to refer to something.

I'm not sure how you wrote this but then didn't immediately realize why optional<T&> would be useful.

> std::optional is a container: it contains a value, which may be indicated as not being present. A reference isn't a value which is contained; it's a value which is somewhere else. If you contain a reference, the reference must be resolved to a valid object.

And yet std::reference_wrapper exists and basically ruins your entire thesis. There's no conceptual problem with storing references in containers; `struct Foo { int& i; }` is exactly that and has worked since forever. Rather it's a problem with the implementation of optional<> specifically that prevents it. And why reference_wrapper exists, to "fix" those implementation issues - primarily with types that already existed like vector, which is why it's silly it's still needed on new types like optional.
Yes! There is "reproducibility" in the sense that you can run the code and get the same answer, and this can be very useful. But I don't see that as the core domain of the research paper, which is to describe a new discovery. The papers job should be to explain the discovery and give appropriate supporting evidence. This leads to a stronger form or reproducibility, like you say, which is "I understand the discovery and I can do it too". That's not the same as generating the exact result the authors' show. And a paper that is reproducible in the first sense but not in the second is of limited scientific value.

If anything, I'd like to see more focus on giving evidence of generality of a result, vs just sharing everything needed to get back the same specific result

I have a home in Nashville, Tennessee but chose to move to Seattle, Washington for work (software engineering), but stay here for the access to everyday life improvements- restaurant variety, activities, etc. Nashville has grown a lot, but you are still car dependent and the Conservative values run deep there, though those folks are being displaced as the housing market continues to boom which makes them more hostile to outsiders than they already were.

At a certain point I wonder if you just declare both 2.1a and 2.1b with different required subsets of the "full" 2.1 functionality. Or, like, 2.1 requires only the basics and you simultaneously declare 2.2 which has the extra stuff. Remember 802.11 b/g/n routers, and how they're up to, like, ax now? Slightly different situation, but I'd call it a reasonable demonstration that consumers can handle there being four or five different versions of a single standard, as long as those versions are narrow, clearly defined, and well communicated.
I know several different things that use a syntax like what you quoted. What I don't know is what workflow you're advocating or what you're trying to say at all.

>This isn’t because Yale made them a better person - it’s because they were to begin with.

There’s actually been research that corroborates your hunch. They looked at students who were accepted to top schools and attended lower schools for a variety of reasons. Those students did as well as the cadre who attended top schools, indicating it was the schools selecting students who were already on track to be successful rather than helping those students become successful.

The one exception was students who came from a low socioeconomic class. They did benefit from attending top schools.
great handle!

I'm in a $1b one now and there's plenty of challenge, lol. It could be the SE Asian ones are a little different. Because you can't just focus on one country, there's a lot of smaller ones with very different cultures and legal frameworks. So a big company ends up spawning off a new company every 6 months or so and have to figure it out again. It's why companies like Stripe, Uber, Amazon have so much trouble with local competitors wherever they go. And it's why companies need to expand quickly, before a local competitor grows enough to challenge a regional one. We've had situations where a payroll or messaging app might have 90% adoption in one country, but near 5% or so in a neighboring country that speaks the same language and eats the same food.

LATAM and Africa seem to be similar too. Former colonies, so there's a mix of similar ethnic background and yet different work/life/economic/legal cultures. And places where corruption is heavy, where private organizations may pick up the slack from government.

Again Rocket Internet is pretty good at this kind of thing. If the Americans are like colonial Great Britain and the Chinese are like colonial Spain, Rocket Internet is like the Dutch East India Company.

Is there similar book focused on terraform and kubernetes ?
Yes, because Mars geography is easier to traverse than human-infested roads.
“ city residents and urban planners draw a crucial modern distinction: a road's main function is transportation, while streets facilitate public interaction.[1] Examples of streets include pedestrian streets, alleys, and city-centre streets too crowded for road vehicles to pass. Conversely, highways and motorways are types of roads, but few would refer to them as streets.[2][3]”

I lived in NYC for a decade and know plenty of city residents, none of whom make this distinction. I really hope this doesn’t turn into a case of niche experts redefining a common word and then insisting that people using the normal definition are somehow wrong or less precise.

> The core research curriculum of nearly every scientific field I’ve seen, STEM or otherwise, is that the data needed for replication are non-negotiable. A paper that doesn’t include it would be table rejected by any editor. Or one would hope. This is taught at the UNDERgraduate level, for heaven’s sake.

This may vary based on discipline, but in both the subdisciplines of experimental and theoretical physics I was involved in: No - very few will provide the data/derivation. My professors were very open about this: They don't want to lose their competitive edge. Almost no experimentalist I knew could take papers from his/her field and reproduce the results, because the papers lacked enough detail to do so. They would mention a technique, but there are lots and lots of nuances involved when building equipment to carry out the technique[1], and these are intentionally excluded. It's unlikely you'll be able to build the equipment the same way the original authors would.

[1] Most experimental physics involves building your own equipment, or at the least modifying existing equipment.
The SDS would hopefully clear up or confirm your concerns, and I have no idea if the product you bought is food safe or not, but I would point out that you should definitely wear gloves to handle any strong glue, whether it's food safe or not, and that the solvents are often eye irritants. I'd discovered the hard way that the solvents in cyanoacrylate glues in particular are eye irritants. (Not a way to fix glasses, folks.)

So, for what it's worth, I personally would be neither deterred nor comforted by the information you presented.

However, "I do not understand if this is safe and don't have the time to research it to my satisfaction" is a totally solid reason for deciding not to do something on safety grounds in my book.

If you're able to email the company and ask for an SDS, they'll probably give it to you. I've had luck with this before.

> Do people think Bill Gates doesn't have a lot of MSFT stock, or Warren Buffet doesn't own a lot of Berkshire stock?

Bill Gates is actually the richest man in the world proper because his net worth is so diversified that it still has an asterisk near to it due to illiquidity because we are talking about billions of dollars, but not nearly as much as Musk or Bezos.

Not to mention the fact that when Gates picks up the phone to reach the WH or the WHO or the health secretary of any country on Earth he'd be able to speak directly within 10 mins.

No amount of money can curate Musk reuputation as a quack and nobody wants to be seen or be on record talking with Bezos either.

With regards to net worth , although Musk is selling stock he still has lots of net worth tied to an Enron-esque type stock which has essentially only downside and it's more unstable than a Chernobyl nuclear reactor (and it's mostly due to Musk)

His plan is to use time windows where the stock is at the all time highs to offload equity to bigger fools and hype the stock with constant promotion

> This is especially true when you prop up that predator's existence by feeding it (and not letting its population remain harmonious with available food supply/prey).

Yeeeeeeah but that’s true of all human cultivation of animals, including bees, cows, and tilapia. I mean I’m also not sure what you’re getting at with the feeding of cats thing. I don’t know anybody that’s like hardcore pro-feral cat. Most people just have an indoor cat which kills 0-1 birds/year and feed it cat food.

But anyway to my interpretation of the Op’s point. Who cares how many birds die when (if you’re like me - Canadian Geese) they’re getting run over by cars and starving to death and can’t replenish their numbers because their nesting grounds were turned into a parking lot? This problem, like sooooo many others stem from our terrible relationship with nature and inability to admit we already know how to build towns and cities in harmony with nature and we don’t need to invent crap like highways or suburbs.
A professor of mine once quipped that it's far quicker and cheaper to buy something similar to what you want, produced in consumer quantities, and then modify it.

Which was a different and useful way of looking at modern products: something new can still be "raw material."

It is physically and logically impossible for any one practical ISA to optimally cover every one of the thousands of highly specialised application areas.

You, apparently, really really care about arbitrary-precision adds.

RISC-V is a general purpose ISA. It can do any computing task, just perhaps not optimally.

How non-optimal is it for arbitrary-precision adds? Or, more importantly, for the overall application that is a part of. No one who has raised this as a concern has shown any actual numbers. In fact they don't even show the actual loop doing the arbitrary-precision add, with loop control instructions, loads and stores. All they show is that a single "add-with-carry" instruction in some other ISAs translates to several instructions in RISC-V.

The problem, if any, in your application area can be solved by adding a single custom instruction to the ISA.

That doesn't sound like something fundamentally wrong with the ISA. Especially when that ISA is designed from the start to be extensible by users via adding custom instructions.
Having watched a burly firefighter take three good swings with an axe to bust out a window (to get to the hood release of an unattended car fire), I am extremely skeptical of this claim.

Somebody on YouTube tested those emergency hammers and concluded they're basically useless. If you really want to break a tempered glass car window (I.e., any of them but the windshield), their recommendation was an automatic center punch.

Enjoyment of it does rely a tiny bit on knowing the general tropes of "giant robot" anime as it does deconstruct a lot of those.

If you have seen even a few episodes of Robotech/Macross/Gundam that's plenty. Even a bit of Voltron or having seen the movie "Iron Giant" may do.

That being said, if you are familiar with the general idea of "Only this one average/milquetoast/nerdy teenager can save the world for contrived plot reasons" it should still be enjoyable as that's where it dials the deconstruction knob up to 11 the most.

The last two times, I’ve included a short url that redirects to a notion page personalized for the person. As in it includes the nickname or something. The page includes instructions on how to add the gift card to the store’s app and/or site (with an account). All relevant links included to make it as easy as possible.

I also looked up apps that can be gift card aggregators and will include that next time too.

—-

I did a similar thing when I gifted Alexa Echo Show devices (the ones with a screen). These instructions included how to use a separate Amazon account so the device won’t get your contacts etc, if the person wants that privacy. Along with two 3 minute videos setting up the device and going over a few basic aspects of it. This would be a ton of work for one gift. I have now done this gift 5x and primarily to average technical people.

Basically what I’m saying is. Gift giving is hard. It makes me super anxious and stressed. I think I’ve found my own niche/trick of including personalized instructions and information. I’ve never tried this on an equally techy person though!

I don't really use optional in C++, but it strikes me that it would be pretty hard to reason about the lifetime of the T&. Pointers have the same problem, but when you see a pointer you're automatically going to start thinking about ownership, whereas references (especially if auto comes into play) are a lot more subtle...

Also if you're going to optionally store a reference why not just use a unique_ptr or a shared_ptr so ownership is much more obvious and safer. (I realize it might not be zero cost, but optional<T&> just seems like an invitation to hard to find bugs)
