I hurt my leg and took a week of vacation on top of the week that all the other staff got.

Funny I was thinking about personal growth projects obsessively the whole week I was laid up. Got a programming side project nearly finished, got a new tripod in the mail, had a great time with family in Binghamton.

I was dead tired for a few days but never bored.
What you do in leetcode is different from what you'd do in an actual interview though. In leetcode, I don't even bother with the trivial solution, as that would never pass the testcases. However, for an interview, I'd always start with the trivial brute force solution, at least to get out a base solution to evaluate, describe and then iterate on,

I'm curious as to what a "safe distance" is when requesting a cup of anti-water. Reacting 8 ounces of antimatter with a similar amount of matter releases energy on the order of a large thermonuclear bomb.

I'm surprised something so potent was never used as a chemical weapon. Sounds like it could easily clear out a trench or riot in the streets.
Whenever I feel like I might be lost in some mathematic question I look at the extremes. Doesn't always help but often enough. Here it's "one of them could very well be more than 100% with an even better speedup, the other certainly not"
If you want to see some very productive uses of metaprogramming in Julia, check out Jump.jl or DataframesMeta.jl. Both use metaprogramming to create their own little DSLs that make expressing problems in a specific form very easy.
Fwiw, Eyoyo offers 4K 15” monitors, which qualify as _retina displays_. Those are usually around $150, depending on reseller and exact model.

This is risky I think. First, you sold a business plan and a pro-forma for growth. I would bet that "investing in T-bills" was not in your business plan. Second, you need growth. If you don't deploy your capital to seek that growth, your VC will want to get out sooner rather than later. You dont want a down round...
My wife was married before me, it was terrible, and eventually divorced him. She would still consider my comment very applicable to someone in this kind of situation.

The comment netted 60 upvotes...so I'm not the only one that thinks this way.

It's not tone deaf, it's not discounting the pain and frustration that marriage can bring. It is challenging the pervasive self focus of our culture, over emphasis on personal happiness, and the refining benefit that persevering through suffering can bring.

That hits the wrong chord for some people. So be it.
Interesting tidbit about Papers, Please: it's written with Haxe (a programming language), on top of OpenFL (an open-source Flash alternative), which uses Lime as its foundational cross-platform library. The nice stack traces you see in the article, such as:

openfl::display::Application_obj::__construct

are because Haxe actually compiles down to C++! (That's also why it has nice interop with C/C++ libraries like SDL.) Haxe boasts an insane amount of compile targets -- just taking a glance at its Github page, it can compile to Javascript, C#, C++, Java, Lua, PHP, Python, and Flash, plus a couple different Haxe-specific interpreters.

Not many game developers use Haxe, so it has a small, tight-knit community. Other well-known games written with Haxe include Dead Cells, Northgard, and Dicey Dungeons.

Wow, this really hit the intellectual left 2021 topic trifecta.
Going to take a different, probably controversial perspective on this. (But this is my pseudo anon account so whatever;)

I had a similar thing happen with my long time girlfriend, 5+ years. She had a rough childhood and covid measures eventually made her suicidal as we graduated college. Eventually she got treatment, and is doing better (yay!).

This is all great other than the meds have now evened her out too much. She’s a totally different person and antidepressants have some side effects that have effected us.

Even if the meds are good for you, and they probably are, it was difficult to adjust to a whole new person after so long. I could even see either the side effects or who she is now ending our relationship.

We’re working on it, but i think in part the meds messed with our dynamic.

Why not both? Adults are capable of parsing two noncontradictory messages at once.
I mean what's the point of a vacation if you're just staying at home? Yeah of course staying at home doing nothing is boring.
Meditation will solve the mental problems. But almost everyone doesn't know how to do it right.
What they didn't explicitly come out and say in this article is that if man didn't invent math than it was there before. This is self-explanatory for most people. After all there are hundreds of known numbers that, if off a fiftieth of a percent prevent life from forming.

The question is - if man didn't come up with it - where does it exist? Cause numbers are inherently non-physical. Quantum mechanics has proven materialism false for well over a hundred years. Why does it remain taboo to suggest that numbers are inherently non-material? We're not asking you to become theists here - just to recognize that there is more than the physical realm.
We hear this a lot so it seems like most people are just at the edge of financial disaster. But what's left out is that most people spend as much as they earn so no matter how much they earn they would still be barely hanging on.

I know there are plenty of people that are barely hanging on because they aren't earning enough money but many just don't know how to handle their finances.

For a social network the most viable value proposition is "people you want to interact with are here" and secondarily "we won't delete their posts or ban them".

Oh damn. It looks extremely close to what I want (It's responsive and the PDF UI might even work on my e-reader), but it doesn't seem to support importing web pages?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

What a massive and disappointing oversight. Otherwise I could've seen it becoming my new research manager.
I think you’ll see that I very explicitly said I am not willing to definitively say those things, but that I am highly skeptical that those types of effects would be so responsive to the changes in number of
Covid cases.

Does it in any way make sense to you that Covid cases falling by X% in a given week would directly cause an immediate corresponding drop in depression, drug overdose, or prescription drug supply chain issues? That would be absolutely incredible to me. It did however cause an immediate corresponding decline in excess deaths, regardless of assigning any cause. That tells me something.
The reason you use nails rather than screws is that nails bend, screws do not. As the framing shifts (and it will because nature) the nails will bend and allow the boards to remain attached as they shift.

Screws have the advantage of not backing out. So at right angles (think a deck board attached to the joist) they are preferred. Lateral force will, however, easily snap them. But for framing they are probably a code violation.
Well, about 10% of the US has diabetes, and there is a good chance many of those people have other health issues.
This is obviously false, the world is full of people who are passionate about what they get paid to do.
Keepassxc is supported on Mac I believe.
I suffer from depression and oscillate between days of high productivity and days of listlessness. I am a fairly decent programmer who has cracked FAANG interviews and got PIPed out of one in the past mostly due to my depression . I now work at a job which pays me well but is nowhere close to FAANG levels and I am fine with that because I need a job that allows me the 1-2 days in two weeks where I can barely do anything .
My spouse has had to deal with all this and also my outbursts and lying on the couch doing nothing . I recognize how patient she has been and tried to help me. I tend to get critical of her and blame her. I have finally started seeing a therapist and know I am in the wrong . But it feels very hard to fight the bad feelings which has been worse since the death of a parent during Covid and another aging parent while I am stuck in another country unable to travel.
Did you confuse 2020 with 2021? Because I can't find any other upwards around week 16 than tbe one in 2020.
The first two results for “Rust awesome” were two ads which took up my entire screen on mobile. Both travel related.

The GitHub repo was third and had to be scrolled to.

Seems pretty trash to me.
Well, I can't downvote you, as you know, nor would I if I had the ability, (nor have you had any downvotes yet from what I can tell) but I feel like they are coming. But, hey, internet points, who cares... right?

There is a groupthink in tech, and media, and commerce in general, and yes probably even here on HN. The extent of which, I cannot speak to, so I will leave it to someone more knowledgeable.

And can't say I know much about the Stasi, but this sentence:

>I had my comments removed for benign stuff like blockchain driven shared database will usher participatory democracy, a pattern of Hinduphobic posts on HN and a class systems existing in US and UK with Ivy leaguers and Eton graduates.

I have read a few times and still don't understand. I'm assuming this is the reasoning they gave when they removed your comment(s)? I feel like I understand all the words, just not sure if it's you saying you were being Hinduphobic, or if it was them saying you were being Hinduphobic. At the same time I feel, of course there is a class system in the US and UK, that's basically undeniable. How much of it revolves around schooling is, once again, a question for someone other than me.
I think the question is more how to find/create more people who would spend a good chunk of their productivity on what sounds like a massively boring rewrite that has marginal returns on investment (Moore’s law says that 50-80% gains will be made up in less than a year by hardware getting faster, and even if it has slowed down it isn’t completely out of the picture). That does take a special kind of person to see this as an ambitious project and not a boring one.
I wonder how much the code should apply to a lightweight construction like pictured. Not legally but from the civil engineering point of view.

I completely agree that running power and network cables in the same conduit is dangerous. I'm not as certain about the use of screws. To me, it looks that even if the whole shed collapses, the rubble would have hard time seriously hurting the person inside (except for the glass; I hope it's safety glass).

So back to what web search was in the 1990s, roughly: an index from a curated selection of sites.
GCC needs something like that too. Building on a big multicore box turns out to not get that much parallelism, because of the dependency ordering.

Spend some time with John Oliver, discussing just a few of the problems with predatory lending: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDylgzybWAw

Usury laws go back to Biblical times: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usury - there is plenty of literature to follow from this point.

There are still prohibitions on drug use that most agree should still be upheld due to the serious harm they tend to cause (addiction -> crime, serious health decline) relative to their benefits: heroin, fentanyl, cocaine, crystal meth, etc. Go spend some time in some majority Black neighborhoods in the U.S. like deep East Oakland, Detroit, Philadelphia, etc. if you want to get a real sense of how bad the problems are and what the locals think about it. Or spend some time in poor white areas in Appalachia or the midwest U.S.
I'd like to additionally suggest syncthing to sync the PDF folder and, as you suggested, use the free account only for the metadata.

“they have three hearts, green blood and one of the largest brains among invertebrates,” she said. “And they can regenerate their limbs, they can camouflage”

Never heard of cuttlefish before this article, but they sound awesome.
I think technologically a blockchain like DB could be implemented I Cassandra: every person has a node which replicates n% of the ledger. We implement a "block-chain" verification system by hashing the content of each previous transaction and there you have a ledger.

The main issue is concensus in a distributed system were we dobt trust each other (i.e. no central source of truth/authority) If 2 transactions collide/conflict with each other, who do you trust? Who has the last word? How do you prevent double spending? (Given the eventual co consistency of the DB and an adversarial environment).

The truth is that these questions and more are answered to a certain degree by different Blockchain protocols. Delegated Byzantine Fault Tolerance is one, PoS is other, PoW yet another and we even have crazy ones like Chia (proof of space time).

It's like the token ring vs star topilogies ir ipx/spx vs tcp/IP or http vs gopher vs ftp vs nntp vs smtp.

Did you know that around the 90s there were a lot of us purists that made a lot of noise because people were sharing files in a very inefficient way through SMTP? you've got to base64 or uuencode it... its wasteful. FTP instead was made for file transfer.

The same thing will happen with blockchain technology. Inefficiencies will be ironed out.
It's not the rewrite per se--it's squashing all the bugs that the rewrite introduces. That is why big C programs are so scary. Because it's unusually easy to introduce such bugs.
Fire safety is a major motivation throughout the building code, and this rule is kind of a proxy to fire risk assessment. If you join rooflines then fire can jump from one to the other. Larger structures and structures used for residence are high risks for fatalities if a fire spreads too quickly and/or without adequate ability to evacuate. Structures assembled ad-hoc over time tend to be high fire risks for several reasons, and avoiding permitting and inspection requirements avoids any check on that.
I don't think that it's useful for articles like this to try to educate readers on the way that a precision-recall curve works (and how that differs from the statistical definition of accuracy). Honestly, that would just confuse the vast majority of readers when it's simpler to point out that the tests produce more false positives than they might otherwise expect. Also note that even if we want to be incredibly pedantic, the article never calls the tests "inaccurate" and instead uses a layperson term without a hidden definition ("wrong").
So this system was implemented sometime after 1999, and presumably after 2010, since leading zeros are truncated (ignored) in ints... which means this bug was implemented, pushed out, and no one for up to 12 years thought this could possibly be a problem, at microsoft?
my mother is disappointed at me not interested in any sports. It's just so boring, repetitive. And for ball games, I can't understand the meaning of chasing a ball.

I used to believe, there is a huge market for exercising games, like ring fit. I tried it, it is the same boring and repetitive thing.

in retrospect, I realized that the kind of activities I like involve planning, and creation, and often has a room for innovation. I was thinking about a VR lego game where each block has a weight. The end goal is building a structure that solves a puzzle and there is no fixed answer.
I can't stop laughing at the idea of GitLab struggling to render 100k lines of changes.

Please actually attempt the ideas you are suggesting before suggesting them.

This set of changes (and other large ones like it) is partially why the kernel needs to use email instead of <insert bloated Ruby application here>.
This is a great way to start off a business relationship with a company that wants to haze you to get you to prove your desire to work there.
Google search is shot. They need to revert the jillion microservices to pre-covid versions and just let go of whatever they've done. The changes have surely increased some key performance indicators but they've also made their service look like its always April 1st.

I read this book and I think this sums it up in a Tweet:

The laws are: Make it obvious, Make it attractive, Make it easy, Make it satisfying; Each law maps to one of the four steps of habit formation: Make it obvious → Cue Make it attractive → Craving Make it easy → Response Make it satisfying → Reward; Make it Obvious To effectively build a new habit, make the cue for that habit blatantly obvious
As a soon-to-be PhD, and at the risk of sounding arrogant, I think this is one of the major hidden costs of grad school: the tendency to constantly overintellectualize stuff, and a reduced empathic capacity for the lay person.
Thank you!

That's an interesting question. godbolt supports webassembly as a target, so it is easy to check out what would be generated for given C or C++

The big difference that I'm aware of is that I don't need to worry about the C model. The code that emscripten generates has to allow for all the things that can be done on the stack that wasm doesn't support directly, so it has to provide an area in memory that acts as a stack and manage that. The flipside of this is that I have no way to get a return value from a function that is more than an (i|f)(32|64), there are a couple of places where I pack 2 32-bit ints into a 64-bit int to return two pieces of data at the same time, this is inconvenient. WASM has a proposal for multiple return values, but I'm not sure how well supported it is. I couldn't get it to work with Node for example.
I think the point of investing and continuing to be frugal is to not have another round.
I get that way after 2ish weeks of time off. I need about that much time to fully decompress from work, but after that I start wanting to do something with myself.
It reminds me of a similarly toned book called “Ignition!” By John Clark that is about the history of the development of rocket propellants. Recommend for a fun read.

"Don't Look Up" touches on this exact sentiment.
Self-modifying code isn't a bad idea. Like everything else, it has it's place, just not typically on modern computers due to breaking optimizations.

What you describe is actually used in a lot of modern software, usually self-modifying code refers to code that modifies itself while running, typically in a loop, not just generating fresh code :)

I wish Postgres was more SQL standards compliant. Stuff like using `nextval()` instead of `NEXT VALUE` in SQL sequences is a pain.
It would be reasonable to have floats with a base ten exponent that would let you write a number like 0.3 correctly.

To do a rational with arbitrary factors like 11 on the bottom is a hassle because the denominator almost always gets bigger when you do math

11/2 + 61/11 = 243/22

I have been thinking about writing a program that uses interval math to generate fractal pictures, hoping I can somehow improve the image quality enough to reveal the structure of the chaotic areas of Hamiltonian maps.
Taking a peek into the VC world in China back in 2013~2016 gave me the same outlook of the industry. Of course I'm not close enough to give an accurate description as PG did, but the outlook is almost the same.

First manuscript in my PhD I just hand-typed the bibliography. But when you get to a few hundred in a document and over 1000 relevant to your work that you want to keep track of, ah and when you need to resubmit manuscripts with a different reference format, and once I made the jump to actually using it and figuring out a few of the quirks, I now quite like Endnote since my institution has a site licence.
Too bad most big exchanges don't accept Monero for trading since know-your-customer policies won't work when you can't associate a wallet address with someone.
Fair. I'm assuming the patches to update includes covers a wider set than changing the headers themselves.

Listen man, no one died from resting too much. Being bored is ok, it's good for you. Let's you dream of crazy things, putz around, look out the window more, etc.

Here is some good advice.....

It's good to rest after a day of doing nothing

Rest during the day, so you can sleep at night.

Work earns illness, do not pass away young.

If you have the urge to work, sit down, wait and you'll see it will pass.

If you see someone resting, help them out.

Love thy bed as you love thyself

When you see people eat and drink- approach them, when you see them work - withdraw yourself not to trouble them.
You can do math with purely rational numbers (in Python and Haskell, for instance, they are included in the standard library). That would represent 61/11 precisely, along with other rational numbers. You can do simple arithmetics in this domain, like summing a series.

There is no good general representation for irrational numbers, though.
