Massive, multimillion people gulag style camp system where people are forced to work on infrastructure projects for 10-15 year sentences (till they are too old to be a threat anymore), for yes things like petty theft. And yes this system must be built with an explicit goal to make a profit and have no outside funding. If it makes no profit, simplify security (less fancy cameras, guard shifts etc and more bullets).

Eradicate the motivation for behaviour like that - make sure people know that stealing stuff from cars results in a multiple year incarceration with hard work and a bullet for minimal disobeyance (and probably, because we all know nearly none of these people can get fixed, with a goal of destroying their health and physical abilities to the point they really won't be a threat once released).
Can you put a concrete example of a global heavyweight (e.g. a developed nation) that has a strong incentive to weaken its currency?
Happy birthday from me as well! The greatest language! Screw you junk programming languages!
Well most of the population seems to drink coffee and is somehow proud of not being able to quit, so yeah. Addiction is a part of our life, we just have to be careful to not form harmful ones.

>That's an overstatement.

Calling things that spontaneously catch on fire while being worn on one's head a lethal danger is not an overstatement.

For the same reason that smoking in bed is not something you should do: and that's because having something burning in places where fire isn't expected leads to people dying in fires.

>This was clearly referring to the "toxic fumes" bit. And it is a fair thing to say, in my humble opinion.

There is nothing humble about confidently calling the OP's concerns "unhelpful paranoia", and discounting what his doctor said were chemical burns as "psychosomatic effects" based on an armchair analysis of the spray pattern which you haven't even seen.

>Regardless, nobody should expect these things to blow up, and it's fair to complain when they do

Thank you. I don't understand why half the comments here are arguing the opposite.

>If it was a singular/very rare incident, fine, really bad luck. If there are a number of reports like this, this could indicate a systemic engineering or manufacturing problem.

Which is exactly why I urged the OP to immediately report it to CPSC (as Bose is also obligated to do, by law, regardless of whether they can establish the veracity of the claim).

And since CPSC is not very reliable, only legal action might uncover such systemic engineering/manufacturing problem and force Bose to do something about it.

And mine. Thank you for all Perl and Larry Wall!
Sorry, haven't been out for a while, I was wrong about the price of beer. It has gone up. The five beers (0.5L) is $43.95, leaving $26 that's going to be a rather cheap meal, you're certainly not eating at the bar on game day at that point. You could get ribs or a burger at a restaurant, but you're a little short if you want steak.... And you don't exactly have money for a drink with your meal.

I don't know if they have a theory of mind, but some animals absolutely have very complex behavioural prediction models for humans and other animals. I swear my last dog knew whether I intended to go outside based solely on how I stood up from the couch.
And a war torn climate hell future to look forward to, while not being able to afford a house to live in.
This actually would have sounded better if you said you don't think highly of childfree people, rather than tilting it towards eugenics.
About me: I'm a software engineer with one of the FANGs. I've been in the industry for 20 years.
Setting the obvious facts aside, I love the subtle cynicism behind buying a 1km cable to prove a point.
Lol, i forgot to mention;

There are some down votes on my very personal view & thinking. Sure, it's the right of everyone to up or down vote.

But the ones down voting without any discussions or comment are just as reckless and egoistic and one may say "radical" - not accepting any other opinions and not willing to behave like a social beings.

Please leave your Nick here, so I can down vote your comments in return. Thank you!

Remix has no partial hydration features, right? Presumably it will work fine with React 18’s SSR Suspense features, but I’m not aware of any partial hydration features in Remix. Of course you can easily turn off JavaScript altogether in Remix by not including script tags in the HTML, but that’s not partial hydration.
At first glance I cannot find any indication that streamelements violates the OBS license. They distribute a plug-in for OBS, separately, and that’s usually not considered a GPL violation, even if the plug-in is closed source. A quick google didn’t turn up any discussion alleging a GPL violation either. The article cites no discussion either.

Definitely enjoy Perl to this day for how fast you can achieve things with it.

Most of my work goes through evolutions depending on eventual use. Many staying in the first phase.

Proof of concept/one shot work just needed by me: Perl

Needed by internal or external developers who know what they are doing: Python3 rewrite

Needs to be robust: Java/C/C++/Rust

The speed with which you can prototype by piecing together micro C programs mixed with Perl orchestrating them is really something that has benefited me throughout my career!
Agree. I purposely spend less time on HN now because it's a lot of the same thing over and over that I realize I get sucked into. A site like https://techurls.com/ lets me see what's trending without getting sucked into the comments.

As far as books go, I read every night and usually bounce between entertainment and usefulness.
What apps do you use for books?

I think the programmers toolbox/toolbelt can be seriously improved by starting with education.

I’m in college and just took a course including Perl and I suggested to the instructor that students get taught functional programming skills through real life applications that are progressive learning skills.
Havens alley in San Francisco is beautiful, if you are ever near the curvy part of lombard street, it's a block away.
The problem here seems to be that governments created laws that allow everyone to scare the shit out of people who dare to build something and put it into the public - without having to leave the comfort of their chair (pun intended). Data privacy is important. Not feeling the urge to hire a lawyer just to publish a small blog is even more important.
Everyone indents their code anyway. That is if it's at all meant to be readable.
Light is indeed redshifted as it climbs through a gravitational well, but it is also blueshifted again when it travels down the gravitational well of our own galaxy. For distant galaxies, the total effect is negligible compared to the doppler redshift due to their velocity. Also, when you look in any direction in the sky, the redshift increases with distance, irrespective of galaxy or cluster masses. So the further they are away, the faster they are receding from us. This is also exactly what the Hubble constant measures.
What you cite about cooperation rings a bell from Joshua Greene's book Moral Tribes[1]. Greene is an experimental psychologist, neuroscientist, and a philosopher. He did extensive research, including fMRI brain studies of the famous trolley problem[2], prisoner's dilemma situations and such other cooperation/desertion scenarios.

And sure enough, some of Greene's papers are cited in the paper you mentioned.

His book[1] is worth reading. I picked it up after hearing about it in Robert Sapolsky's, Behave. And for balance, here's an interesting paper[3] critiquing some of Greene's ideas from Moral Tribes.

> high frequency noise happens when you subtract two images, one of which is shifted by half-pixel

> What you are left with is the edges (high frequency)

So you subtract a slightly phase shifted high frequency signal, you're left with a high frequency signal that may be amplified at the edges depending on your phase shift. Nothing surprising here?

The question is can you create a high frequency residual by subtracting a lowpass filtered (gaussian blur?) image? I don't think so. You're just left with whatever high frequencies you had but you aren't creating any new ones.
Working in feature film visual effects for several years, when an obvious flop goes through the studio it casts a dark depressing cloud over the entire 2000 person operation, despite the film being only one of 4-6 productions in the studio at that time. Regardless, the work requires painful attention to detail and long hours - which seem to double in length when the film content is stupid, poorly executed, and we (the VFX team) have an irrational hope from the filmmakers that the VFX will somehow polish their turd. It really hurts the entire studio, dragging on all productions.

Yet, worst than working on a flop is working on what everyone recognizes will be a Best Picture Oscar candidate, and the filmmakers are hell bent on driving your studio out of business with their extreme demands. It was extremely painful to be at Rhythm & Hues during the making of "Life Of Pi" - we knew it was gonna win Best Picture and we knew it was bankrupting our company and ending our jobs.
I’m in the same spot and found that using screen time limits on the phone have been a large improvement on my mental ability.
The Ergo pro is an excellent keyboard. I’ve had two. Biggest problems are reliability - my first had a bunch of keys stop working in 9 months! They sent a replacement half for $99. That one stopped working 13 months later.

I would google around and read some reviews on Amazon and Reddit before committing. Sadly these issues seem common.

Their warranty support was… not good. Their COO didn’t really stand by their product. I know 4 other people who had similar experiences - they all love the keyboard but switched after it basically fell apart.

I’d buy another in a heartbeat if I knew it would last well beyond the warranty like every single other keyboard I’ve ever had over 32 years of computer ownership.
Playing such games changes our perception. I have been playing HyperRogue (https://www.roguetemple.com/z/hyper/). After a few hours of playing it straight, experience of the "normal" worlds changes. It holds for other games as well.

That said, I don't believe that a DMT trip would improve performance in the game. Or maybe a bit, but by increasing neuroplasticity.
> There is a high correlation and probably causal relationship between increasing global pollution and improved living standards.

That would be if pollution was a global phenomenon. Climate is global and chaotic, and we only have one planet so we can't compare, but pollution levels are local are different between heavily industrialised places and times and less so places and times. I'm sure there is extensive and conclusive research that pollution is bad for your health, which is an important part of living standards.
do we know if the rounding errors are a big deal for numerical methods that can tolerate inaccuracy (like gradient descent for machine learning)?
You are totally missing the point -
A medieval peasant did well when they had good harvest, and did poorly when they had famine, this was pretty straight forward.

Now you suffer from subprime mortgage based securities and cryptocurrency miners and microchip shortage you can't get a car or some shit. Same house increases in price 10x over lifetime because of - well, explanation takes a book. Go look at water bottle, it's made of materials average person can't even pronounce, popupropeline, polycarbonate. You put it in recycling but it killed a poor turtle in Indonesia because global supply chains and corruption.

Is this really comparable to, 'I need a new plought, and i dont know exactly all detail of how cousin jimmy does his hammering?'
I don’t remember the exact options, but there’s a way to make Nim emit warnings (and perhaps errors) for inconsistent capitalization.

It isn’t the default, though.
Nothing in programming is proven since everything changes all the time. Otherwise we would still be programming in Cobol, Fortran, LISP and APL without changes from the 1950's. It's like saying tanks from WW1 were good enough to last forever. Change means you have to prove things over and over, and generally the pace of change is too fast for anything to be proven before it is obsolete.
I know it is a figure of speech, but it is quite a convenient one! It implies their math is right and the universe is wrong!

Let me fix it:

"Scientists models of the expanding universe fail again."
So it'd be perfectly reasonable to conduct an experiment to see how certain Princeton researches react to emails telling them bad things are going to happen to them and their families and pets, right? "If thrown from a tall building how high do you think you'd bounce?"
The worrying thing is that mainstream social medias are stopping reading as a form of the content consumption. Videos are becoming shorter and more condensed. It will end badly for brains of the generation raised on tiktok.
Spec sheet advertising, that's what I have been rambling about to anyone who'd listen. I would also add that the advertising should go ibto a catalogue of sorts, so if you're specifically out to buy things you pick one up (look it up online?) and look for tjings to buy. But you don't get pestered to buy anything when you're just out and about doing anything else, I think along with manipulation that's one of the main problems with modern advertising.
My biggest problem with Perl is setting its PATH correctly. Each upgrade breaks it. (I use Homebrew to install Perl.)

I like Supabase's approach over pub/sub. One of the big advantages is they listen to the Postgres WAL which overcomes the 8000 bytes limitation[1] of the notify approach.

And Elixir is especially well suited for this type of workload. I actually extracted out much of the Supabase Realtime library so that I could work with the data directly in Elixir[2]

I interpret what you quoted as the opposite of Sapir-Whorf. Could you explain why they're the same?
I trolled someone in EU market so hard over something similar. I had a mobile app that had a similar name to their app, and they were annoyed that the only information about me was an instagram page for the app, as I filled in the website requirement on the app store with an instagram link.

In any case, for future reference, form an LLC now and pay the annual fees for it. All your ideas go under that from now on, all your domains, everything.

And yes also make friends with a lawyer. "Outside general counsel."

You'll level up all of this over time, but at least it won't sound like a strange goal post to meet when its necessary.
That's too close to calling them lesser beings for my comfort. They harm themselves, so who cares? Greed is good!
A former colleague, a great generalist, calls Perl his second language: the first being English.

I started using it in the early 90s and it's paid the bills ever since.

Thanks to Larry and the whole community.

Cosmology will never be a done science. The universe is infinite but the human mind is finite.
What's your take on Elixir/Phoenix?
is it the generalization you take issue with (i.e. the implication that reading of any kind in enough volume can teach critical thinking)? or do you actually take issue with the voracious readers of epistemology/philosophy of science/etc who are explicitly trying to use books as an aid to become more critical thinkers?
This is incorrect, or at least very misleading. Excess carbohydrate consumption exacerbates insulin resistance but the cause is an excess of intramyocellular lipids.
Good, it's irritating as fuck, especially on mobile. The constant dunning from Wikipedia puts a real sour taste in my mouth.

Logger levels are mutable to allow switching them at runtime, JIT can not make an assumption that the log level will stay the same.
I would argue that object unpacking is superior unless you have something similar to useState, where you only return two variables, and you know you'll never need the second variable without the first (which in practice may be very difficult to know beforehand, as requirements change).

Object unpacking also allows you to alias the variable names, though it's slightly more verbose: `const { foo: newName } = someThing()`.

You can also choose to forgo unpacking entirely and just use the natural namespacing returning an object would provide:

const thing = someThing()
thing.foo()
thing.bar()
Very productive discussion here with lots of tips shared here. I am grateful that HN is one of the places which still feel worth the time spent. I would like to share my own thoughts as well..

Personally, my weakness is video-games and I have lost the ability to stop playing once I start. Gaming sessions usually last for hours and hours until I feel satisfied (Doesn't matter whether I am winning or losing). I tried several strategies for self-control but none worked out, so I have taken extreme measures to completely stay away from gaming.

- I have deleted my steam and similar profiles (they don't make this easy)

- I do not own a mouse anymore (switched to a trackpad completely)

- If I really feel the need, I just watch a gaming-stream on twitch/highlights on youtube - I would like to phase this out as well, but have not found an effective strategy to do so yet, since blocking these websites is not a reasonable option.

Finally, about reading, I have been doing more of it lately, but I usually read research-papers related to my work and some popular self-improvement books. What really helped me is purchasing a kindle - it offers a free feature to convert PDFs to kindle format - which doesn't work so well with research papers with lots of images and charts but otherwise really helpful.
It's usually a result of cargo-culting: companies think that if they imitate what the big boys are doing they'll see the same kind of success. You also see that with hiring practices or adopting technology such as microservices or Kubernetes which are overkill for their real needs.
If you add up all respiratory deaths in a year it magically adds up to the covid deaths in a year.
> AFAIU, the entire point of the video was to show that electricity travels not through wires but via electric fields ("through the air" so to speak).

Only that he doesn't context the video with that, But with a 'trick/googly' question. One of the reasonable constructive criticism I came across for this video is from Mehdi(ElectroBOOM)[1] where he explains why the real answer is not in the options offered by Derrick.

Personally I like the quality of Veritasium videos, but I lately feel that the barometer has shifted towards sensationalism rather than scientific education.

Why are you comparing universities to states?
I started with the one-liners book, and I recommend others do the same. It’s quick and useful for pretty much anyone who isn’t an AWK master. Then go learn more advanced stuff.
Slovenia. But the system is pretty much the same in other former socialist countries (atleast the end results... some colleges have specialised entry exams in some countries or even a combination of both, but in the end, the students are sorted by whatever score they get (based on grades and exam scores, not race or whatever), top X get acceppted, and only the cutoff score is published - everyone with that score or more is accepted, everyone below is not).

This may be a leftover of socialism though, because in yugoslavia everyone was considered equal to everyone else.
Because no one gives a crap about Prolog. PL is Perl (is life).
