I have some questions if you don't mind:

Was it expensive?

Are there any downsides?

Do you think TMS is, like psychedelic therapy, potentially useful for people without depression (i.e. the "betterment of well people")?
You started a tedious race flamewar and perpetuated it downthread. We ban accounts that do that. Please don't do that on HN again.

I can't think of any exceptions to this right away, so you might be right.

But, not having ctx available as an explicit value would make certain ast manipulations, as well as bytecode generation by the interpreter more complicated. This is because in both the scenarios, checking for the context will involve checking the parent, instead of a child. And finding the parent in a tree is often times much harder than a child.

Holy crap that is an insane story.

When I watched the press conference, I did think Trump was suggesting we should spend research money on injecting disinfectant to cure COVID-19. I am not a biologist, but as I understand this is very naieve; at a high enough dose to kill the virus it would also kill the patient. I facepalmed, imagining billions of dollars spent on this on the president's whim; I am glad it didn't happen that way.

Trump later said he was being sarcastic, which makes even less sense to me than anything he said or was accused of saying.
Cost (and availability/wait time for nations with public healthcare) are a concern. I know several people who received conventional TMS for 30 minutes a day for six weeks. That cost them, with insurance, about $1500. It was effective for an average of six months. This treatment is an order of magnitude more time spent in the machine, even if over a shorter period. What will it cost? Will it be accessible to those who need it?
I have been thinking of this as well. Pokemon cards as NFT would work, but why would the Pokemon company (the central entity) be ok with having a decentralised solution for it? What does the company get?

NFTs need support of the big names but they already have better solutions for what they want. Currently NFTs are creating their own set of *mon cards but I don't see why I would want that.

Another example - currently digital games aren't resellable and NFTs could solve that problem. But why would Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft etc want that?
Gotta love the passive-aggressive sniping at someone politely asking for a timeline for when a fix will be made. Like, the answer is obviously just "without a bounty there is no timeline for a fix" but they can't just leave it at that...
I've bought one of every major M1 model for testing purposes and have done all kinds of crazy things to them, and the only time something weird happened was with the original firmware version where I managed to break recovery mode by messing with diskutil, but I was able to fix it from macOS without requiring a DFU flash. It's never happened again and I've done the same thing dozens of times, so I think that was some silly bug in the shipping firmware version that has long since been fixed. I never actually had to resort to DFU recovery (though I still tested it a bunch as part of improving support for it in idevicerestore).
People who do stupid things like this for attention really piss me off.
>I once told this to an atheist and he was astonished because my description of his subconscious behavior and lack of awareness was 100% what he thought I was doing.

>This makes me wonder do atheists even realize how unscientific and illogical they are? Are they constantly thinking that I'm the one that's illogical? Are humans so unaware of their own biases that we can never ever truly determine what is real and what isn't?

You're an atheist too, towards other religions like Islam, Hinduism etc. When you truly understand that your arguments against those religions go against Christianity too, you will understand atheists.

My impression of the Linux kernel was that it uses a fair amount of OOP via manually-written vtables, though? For example: http://lxr.linux.no/linux+v2.6.39/include/linux/fs.h#L1569
I don’t really agree; small, continuous disruptions that happen throughout the day can totally kill any sort of flow state that I otherwise would have gotten in, thereby significantly reducing my productivity. On the other hand, fast edit and refresh cycles really keep me in the zone and keep me productive. When “delusional” thinking is widespread it may be worth taking the time to understand why rather than dismissing it.
It's probably more likely that the internet is amplifying every problem in the world and since young adults grew up with it, it's more integral to their lives.

Additionally, there seems to be a stigma attached to not caring about a particular event, especially if doesn't affect you, all because of the slippery slope argument which is a fallacy.
To a disinterested outsider, this dialog reads like:

A: everything in this book is literally true

B: what about this passage where it says 3+4=9?

A: my interpretation of that passage is that the 9 represents a 7 in that particular context

The salient point being: that even if A has arrived at a literally true interpretation of the passage, the truth came from A, not from the passage. Further, although A believes they're arguing that the book is inerrant, what they're effectively claiming is that their interpretations are inerrant.
Big data, machine learning and AI are massive sectors of the tech economy today. The only thing you demonstrate is that there is a difference between aggressive marketing leeching of the core idea and the motivations behind the core idea itself.

I built this as a side project to learn a new programming language. So thought of sharing it. :)
I have to say your statement is quite accurate. But the last sentence just reflects the eventual success of the Web3. It is all about making money, aka being greedy.
Ok, but that isn't relevant to what I asked you.
The complexity need not "leak" - it could be an explicit feature of the tool. Make kinds sorta does this, as the learning curve is steep from the beginning but stays constant. Tools that are easier to use at first but then smack the user with "leaked complexity" set the user up for situations he is not experienced enough to handle.

That might be fine in an enterprise setting where the user likely has a mentor or support contract to turn to. But it's not what I want at home.
I call this connection in dancing ”emotional connection” which probably gives the impression that it does not feel ”physical” in the traditional sense. There are various forms of connection possible, for example birds can sense magnetic field and they can fly in formatioms which seem very similar to my experience.
We need you to do a much better job of making that clear in the future if you don't want to be banned here.
I know that it was killed by Reagan's FCC, but I really don't have a good understanding of their motivation.

The Wikipedia article quotes someone in the Kennedy administration as saying: "Our massive strategy [in the early 1960s] was to use the Fairness Doctrine to challenge and harass right-wing broadcasters and hope that the challenges would be so costly to them that they would be inhibited and decide it was too expensive to continue."

So it kinda seems that weaponization of complaints was part of the issue.

Do you happen to have any pointers or comments on Reagan administrations reasoning, and the efforts by liberals to restore the doctrine?
You missed the most fun option: pair them up with a problem that leads to nowhere!

I've used dd-wrt for over a decade. Issues:

- Seems very badly out of date.

- Far more limited capabilities

- Much less clear upgrade capabilities / path.

If it works for you, then sure. I'd lean strongly to OpenWRT.

Much of my dd-wrt comments also applies to Tomato from what I've been able to sort.

dd-wrt and Tomato were built for systems as they existed a decade or two ago, notably the venerable Linksys WRT54G router. These work, but have highly constrained hardware.

Depends on your definition of success, but I have made a website called Piano Gym (https://PianoGym.cpm) to help people learn Piano and Music Theory in the context of actual sheet music.

Here's a quick video explaining it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faxNDhOjlh4

Piano Gym is a learning and practice ecosystem focused on prioritizing music theory and performance skills acquisition through the use of flash cards. We used flash cards in order to pair them with modern learning techniques like spaced repetition, graded feedback, and progress tracking so that you can practice material and work through content that is managed by Piano Gym, and all you have to do is enroll in a school/course/lesson and do your reps! Just show up every day and do 15 minutes of reviews. You're going to make progress.

Our website uses the Piano to navigate exercises as well as regular keyboard/mouse input. We work on browser technology and are looking to eventually make it mobile devices.

We provide content creation for everyone so that anyone can make their own schools/courses/lessons and the best part is each school gets its own landing page.

For example we're using the methods book from https://freepianomethod.com which is provided by Mayron Cole, and if you wanted to practice it without signing up or enrolling you could easily visit this link:
https://pianogym.com/schools/Mayron%20Cole%20Method

Even better when you find the piece you want to practice you can share it directly like so:
https://pianogym.com/schools/Mayron%20Cole%20Method?sheet_mu...

It's a work in progress, but I'm pretty pleased with it :)
I ran into a new & interesting counter-position earlier today.

TLDR: "Not only can we experience, for example, falling, but we can also reflect on that experience and create change based on that reflection.... This implies that human free will is the sole known entity in the universe capable of eliciting change based on conscious reflection."

Would you care to share how does this app work under the hood? I think the hacker news audience would be more interested to understand that then to use the app per se haha. Do you parse the page for a bulleted list next to certain keywords?

Also why not just make this a browser extension instead of an app to remove the step requiring the user to scan a QR code?
Saying that generics get complicated because C++ templates are a nightmare is throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

>Biblical wisdom, in response, might say something like: "What does it profit a man to gain the whole world (e.g. be the best Python developer) and forfeit his soul?" And, if you believe that's a better and more important question, then the Bible starts to have value and insight.

At that point, one might as well turn to Buddhism or the wisdom in Hindu texts, which is as good as, if not better than wisdom in the Bible. The Bible would only be special if it was the word of God, but if it cannot give us any more insight into understanding our world than science can, it's a lost cause.

I've never heard the usage of a German sin used to slander the current German nation. They are discussed, but not used to influence perception of Germans today.

Contrast with the constant barrage against Israel, I was just recently berated by an American for the USS Liberty incident - from 1967 I believe. They echo each other these sins to paint my nation in a poor light constantly.

It shouldn't be a matter of penalities. Robocallers are attacking critical infrastructure and preying on the vulnerable and causing many people to die prematurely. They should be treated like terrorist and the US should sanction countries that are not taking the issue seriously and label them supporters of terrorism.

If these people feared having military attack their call centers and operations they would turn on each other in a heartbeat.
Yes, Org Mode.
We already have Web 3.0.

It consists of walled gardens of pushed content where acquiring a user means capturing a user by making it as impractical as possible to leave.

But no one shouts about this. The 'new' web should be about optimism, growth, right? That's what justifies future 'value'.

Web 2.0 peaked a little more than a decade. An era of 'pulling', actual recommendations from people, of bigenoughtopaybills for heavy content but sufficiently decentralised to have competition.

It is easier than ever to do something and that's what petrifies incumbents into closing their gates as tightly as they can. For you are the treasure they hoard.

> You overestimate what AI means in terms of marketing.

Not really, you are making huge assumptions about me here. I don't expect Alexa to be smart. I do expect that if a company is going to scrape other people's content to use in their service, it behooves them to do that scraping properly and to not use automation to do it if their automation isn't up to snuff.
It took me a while to realize that most people don't consider suicide as one of a few strategies to deal with everyday problems. Thought process: I don't want to do my homework. I could (A) get up and do it, or (B) kill myself. Happily, I've learned to dissociate myself from the part of my consciousness that thinks that way.

When I took a compiler class back in the early '90s, the project was to write the compiled machine code into an array, then cast the array into a function, and execute it. I and another student were doing it on 68040 NeXT workstations. One other student was doing it on a Mac, one on a VAX, and the rest on PCs (the PC students largely failed!). We were mystified why, when we tried to execute our code, it was as if it wasn't there. Took us a while to realize that the 68040 had separate instruction and data caches, and even more time (and emailing people at NeXT) to determine what the cache flush procedure was.
I’m the same way, I can vividly remember most books I listen to. Though maybe that is related to me being quite picky with which narrators I listen to.

When I find a good one I’ll start exploring what else they’ve read and pick those up too.

"You asked me how depression felt, and this is all I could come up with.
It feels like I’m walking upstream through a current strong enough to pull me under four times over.

There are others with me but they are walking along the banks telling me to “just get out of the water.”

But instead of extending a hand in help, they just move on and leave me behind.

Every once in a while I find a rock that is strong enough for me to lean on, And I can rest for a bit.

But the rocks always get tired of holding me up, and when they let go, I’m left drowning, thrown 50 feet back again.

And nothing is harder than standing up in that current when everything in you is telling you how much easier things would be if you just let yourself get dragged under."

I didn’t have access to a smartphone growing up, although they were widespread by the time I was a teenager.

I ofc have had one as an adult , and while I don’t feel like I’ve become dumber (mostly thanks to aggregating experience), I’m almost certain my ability to do many things, including learn has been significantly throttled.
The whole point of science is to question everything and develop those questions into theory. Charles Darwin had questions about creationism that lead to the discovery of evolution.
Why does having that ability imply free will?

What is "conscious" reflection? I think "consciousness" is another one of those terms that masks our fundamental misunderstanding of how things work.

The Mac has existed for 37 years and the iPhone for 15 of those and the Mac is still open to running whatever OS users choose. You really need to find an argument other than an unqualified "the future is doom and gloom" when after all this time that future hasn't come and the platform remains open.

Really happy to read about your positive experience. TMS changed my life also. It ushered me out of a nearly 5-year depression.

It was interesting to talk to the technicians/clinicians about how they came to be working at a TMS clinic. Several told me they'd been working in mental healthcare for decades, and were excited to work with TMS because it was the only thing they'd ever seen be truly effective in treating severe and persistent depression. One told me she had been helping patients through the 6 week program for three years and had not seen it fail to help a single person.

When I read the paper for this study it brought tears to my eyes. To think that it's possible to apply a lasting treatment to someone stuck in their own personal hell over the course of five days, and to have the effects persist for six months, is practically a miracle.

My treatment was over two years ago and I have not relapsed. There is hardly a day that passes where I do not feel deep gratitude for that burden to be lifted.
Sorry, I wasn't clear enough: ABC is not just some random language - it's one that GvR worked on before Python, and he specifically said in several interviews that it's where Python originated from. As you correctly surmised, ABC was a teaching language, hence the choice to go with indentation.
