With weed, after I switched to vaping concentrate I found the experience much more empathetic. Like if I was watching something I would deeply feel whatever the characters were experiencing. Maybe it’s illusory but it does feel like I’m connecting to something quite deep. I haven’t really heard other people say that so I wonder if it’s common.
Besides the survivor bias, most success stories are also incomplete. The non glamorous parts get skipped.

Look up who Bill Gates' mother is if you wonder how they got IBM to talk to them for MS-DOS in the first place.
I found this post when searching HN for "key-value store" posts, because I'm working on my own and wanted to see what other people have done.

Fwiw, your take on this is basically a generic blob storage that is (1) keyed by strings with (2) some restrictions on their format and (3) some special semantics stemming from it.

In particular, #2 is the fact that multiple / are collapsed into one.

#3 is that slashes are used for tokenizing keys when importing/exporting json and for delete operations.

There also appears to be a restriction that a node can't have both a value and children, which is consistent with the json model, but not with other hierarchical kv stores, e.g. Windows registry.

All in all, there is certainly a value in being able to export/import data as json, but it appears that ALL syntax and semantic restrictions in the datamodel are due to that. So, technically, one can just use generic kv store, allow keys to be in whatever format, and then make SetValueFromJson() take a "path separator" as an argument and also allow it to fail (due to malformed keys or keys having values and children). Ditto for delete.

This is less of a critique/feedback and more of "analysis", for myself. Take it for what it is.
The current editor in chief's career as a journalist was largely writing clickbait style opinion pieces on identity politics for Slate etc.. I have no idea how they were deemed a suitable candidate to work for Scientific American, and it's no surprise her tenure has resulted in a rapid series of controversies.
I always found how they make fun of some of the early bonehead decisions in the show to be hilarious. Also just how Richard Dean Anderson was just having fun and not necessarily taking anything seriously especially towards the end
This doesn't work if progress requires something like making a big jump from one cliff to another. Saying "let's move safely 1cm at a time" gets you to the edge of the cliff, and then you stop and you get nowhere.
I use them at work, I have the habit of looking at my todolist when I have nothing to do, or to decide what to do next. Actually we use a ticket system that could act as a todolist, but it's a mess for "local" reasons.

This remembers me that tickets systems are just glorified todolists - and maybe they suffer from the same feature bloat as todolist apps. Although I acknowledge ticket systems are team tools, so it is a whole different game.
Virtually no founders out there are pouring their personal savings into their company.

That definitely isn't true. Tens of thousands of companies are bootstrapped every year. Some go on to be quite successful (Github, GoPro, Apple...).

You won't find all that many bootstrapped business founders posting on HN (it's run by an investment company...) but that doesn't mean they're not out there. Plus, due to the changing landscape of VC investing, most deals require a bit of traction before you even get a Series A. You have to bootstrap before many VCs will talk to you. There's also angel money, family and friends, etc, but getting that while you're pre-revenue is still much harder than proving the business is at least a bit viable first.
The premise was good, the execution...

I re-watched SGU a few years ago and it was worse than I'd remembered - I'd apparently forgotten/blocked out a lot of the bad parts.

In addition to that, for having an immediate storyline available, they took way waaaay too long to get into it. From what I've heard most fans dropped out before they even learned what Destiny's true mission was.

The paper claims this is described in the ‘clinical hospital surveillance’ and although the report about that actually does not mention sequencing or Omicron there might be a clue as to why they don’t see data on omicron patients in ICU:

https://covid-19.sciensano.be/sites/default/files/Covid19/CO...

Page 7:

> Clinical outcomes, such as ICU admission or death, are only registered at hospital discharge

[…]

> Furthermore, as ICU patients remain hospitalized for 2-3 weeks, their profile may only be available approximately 4 weeks after their initial hospital admission. To avoid misinterpretation of trends over time we do not report ICU data for the most recent 3 weeks.
Working on tokenization and parsing there have been two "lights clicking on" moments that I think every dev working on a PL implementation should have :

- Tokens are the leaves of your syntax trees

- File locations are relative, not absolute

It's easier to build a parser that doesn't buy into these things, but it's way harder to build tooling and good error messaging if you don't.

I don't understand why they divide the appraised value by three, then compute 1.5% property tax from it and say they can't raise it any higher. Where I live, our property tax rate is higher even with a homestead exemption AND we don't divide by three. Simply removing the division would fix the revenue problem according to the article's math.

More specifically, right now I just checked and I pay 1.6% of my home's appraised market value each year as property tax. Galesburg pays 0.5%. So there's an easy fix.
As far as I know, riffling and/or shuffling, palm to palm or on a table is fine.

Unless you assume the dealer can hide, move, or arrange one or more cards. But a cut is supposed to fix that.

A naive shuffle with a clean table and a clean deck of cards, in the dirt and dust sense, is to put all the cards face down and just smear them around with your hands, then collect them, and deal.

If you've ever bought a deck of cards, you know after a hand or two how well everyone can shuffle.

There's millions and millions and millions of possible decks, but a fair shuffle is practically guaranteed.
I completely agree - and have similar thoughts about "we look forward to continuing the conversation" as a way to close down a discussion (possible translation: "it's lunch time and it's mac and cheese today! see ya").

However, assuming good intent: how would you determine whether they are listening? (or continuing the conversation, in the latter case)

Yes.

I'm starting to see this for myself and now i'm basically decided to ignore a lot of advice after consuming a lot of it.

Instead just to have a few goals and spend time in reflection to decide if they are still what I want and how that is working for me, what I need to do to get closer to them etc and let that decide the best routines.

So many things I hear that are apparently the answer to everything just doesn't work for me. Lots of popular productivity systems, journaling, getting up early, morning routines etc. I get that they can and do work for a lot of people, but the advise I feel is close to worthless as it matters what works for you and if you use trial and error and a reflective process you can figure that out for yourself, without needing the advice or at least i've heard enough of it to know what my options are now so what I need to do is consume less of that and adjust behaviours in my own life accordingly.

I think it comes down to the basic idea that life is way more complex than we can imagine, there is just so much at play and every little thing affects everything else, everyone works quite different and each environment and situation is also unique, bringing the exact same solutions to those things is silly, the only thing to do is adapt to it along the way, it's the system of evolution, but somehow we forget that and want some magical universal solution to avoid the chaos that the real world brings.

Has there been any comms with anyone in Tonga since?
I actually enjoyed watching DS9 more the second time around than the first, and even moreso the third time with my partner.

I was a bit disappointed the first run as I favored TNG and felt DS9 didn't have as strong a lead or "pure" a story. But I gained a better appreciation for the character development on the re-watch and feel its characters have the most depth of all the series - especially its minor ones. Quark in particular is a gem.

And Voyager had at least one season there that delivered one great episode after the next.

We've been watching all the Star Treks from the beginning of TNG, and even though she's not a SciFi nerd she's picked up little nuanced bits here and there I missed before - a freshly rewarding experience. Now we're watching Lower Decks which is silly but jam-packed with nostalgic references.

When we began she'd always complain "why are you making me watch more of this". But the other day she said something technobabble to me about warp fields and I realized she's been converted into a bonafide closet Trekkie ;-).
I am still hoping that someone picks that up and tells how the story continues

I once even spotted a Microsoft employee who took the time to raise their concerns on the public tracker:

That is just incredibly exasperating to see. When even MS employees are being forced to "bend over and take it", you'd think there would be some sort of "find the people responsible for this shitshow in the Windows team inside MS, and keep emailing them to fix it" protest. That one employee he noticed seemed to have concluded his comment with a rather sarcastic thanks directed toward someone who might be one of the responsible?

On the other hand, what I can find in the news about internal protests at MS are all seemingly SJW-ish topics, and absolutely none about the quality of the products themselves. I think that alone says a lot about who's working there and what they actually care about doing --- which is clearly not improving their products. The people who do care about that are being heavily outnumbered, and perhaps a lot of them have already deemed MS to be unsalvageable and left.

I can't believe the incredible amount of reality distortion they must have in order to spew forth marketing BS like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28753528 with a straight face.

"Absolutely, I've had friends with limited business or tech background pump hard-earned savings into crazy tech startup ideas, precisely because they've read too many of these success stories."

Untrained humans are indeed terrible, but it's not hard to learn. The main problem is that most people don't shuffle long enough, or use shuffling methods that don't produce enough entropy.

If you use multiple shuffling methods, you can shuffle a deck reasonably well in less than a minute.
If anything, I’d say the acting isn’t as good in SG1 and Atlantis as DS9. I think the reason SG1 works is the same reason the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) is more popular than X-Men or DC movies: MCU doesn’t take itself seriously.

When you have plots that are, at times, a little silly (as SciFi often can be) you need a suspension of disbelief to enjoy the show. When stories are too dark or take themselves too seriously it leaves the audience taking the story seriously. And that can be a problem if any aspects are far fetched or hard to take seriously.

However MCU doesn’t take itself seriously (generally speaking). It pokes fun at itself and winks to the audience at times saying “we know this is daft too but let’s have some fun”. This makes it much easier to suspect one’s disbelief.

SG1 employs the same approach to storytelling where it will use humour to disarm some of the more far fetched sub-plots allowing the audience to play along more easily.

Didn't Slashdot have a system whereby you had to give a reason for a downvote? I may be mis-remembering as I've not been on that site for aeons. But, even then, how do you make such a system functional? Say I downvote a well-argued post, simply because I disagree with it, but choose some other 'Reason for Downvote' like 'Irrelevant'or 'Misleading'. to make my downvote seem legitimate.

Incidentally, you can also expect someone [most likely DanG himself] to come in and point out to you that discussion of the inner workings of HN is not a valid topic for debate.

In its way HN is just as much of an echo-chamber as Twitter, where contrary or unpopular views will get you censured. It's just all done under more of a veneer of reasonableness here.

> IBM went to talk to Gary Kildall (CP/M) first.

Yeah, and that makes sense. You need an OS you talk to the guy who has an OS first. What's not mentioned in any success story about MS is how they got to start talking with IBM in the first place after the negotiations for CP/M failed. It's not like they had an OS product.

Anyway, networking is essential to doing business, we all agree on it. What I'm saying is the "success story" is incomplete because it doesn't mention it. And so are most other success stories, perhaps in less obvious ways.

I distro hop with my home laptops and use Windows at $JOB

I've decided to install Windows 11 preview around June 2021 and have been using it ever since, so I could eventually help my coworkers, validate our workflows etc...

I am curious on why people in HN dislike Win 11 so much. For me the upgrade was basically about minor UI changes, which I got used to in 1-2 weeks. I am a sysadmin / cloud whatever and it broke none of my stuff, I use the same workflows I used in Win 10.

We still haven't migrated our users to Win 11 out of pragmatism , but honestly there is nothing I hate about it. Maybe my expectations for MS are too low already, IDK.

Very bold prediction, I think you underestimate how vigorously a monopoly will fight to keep it. How can any company convince any even moderately sized corporate to switch away from Windows/Office?

I am working with an heavily collab oriented-project, Cosmoose, which released a remix album one month ago (also active on Indie Music Feedback community).
The problem we have with this is: sharing the stems (one song will usually be some gigabytes of storage), organizing, making splits.
It's a lot of administrative overhead that can suck out the pleasure from music-making itself.

And what people burn out on is that a lot of these collabs go poorly because of artistic differences, or one people being not serious (for good or bad reasons).
So if the collab is off-site, that eliminates the completion rate you have on a platform like skeb. IMF solves this by being more a community and so you get to know people more before working with them.

So I'm not sure it is solving really anything, and the approach does not seem sustainable (one email per new track per user? how long before everything goes to spam). But I'd love to be convinced otherwise :-)
Deleting comments (i.e. censorship) is one thing; but misattribution and effectively "putting words into someone's mouth" by editing their content to say what they did not, goes well beyond what I think even those who are proponents of strong moderation and censorship would deem acceptable.
