> AliExpress Says Malware is OK [...] They stated that it does not breach their terms and that no action will be taken.

I'm sure many things don't explicitly breach their terms, but surely I expected there to be a catchall that would include malware. Of course, their terms are to protect AliExpress, and not the consumer, so it doesn't look like they'd wanna go above and beyond on that end, but I hoped they'd at least care about customer satisfaction.
Funny how the whole article talks about this approach, and then at the end shows the approach failing in the real world. I don't know about you, but I can't conclusively come up with a license plate in that final video.

What you say is absolutely true. But I will also say that most people have warped ideas of proper weight. Using myself as an example, I was 195 and felt like I was overweight but not obese. If only I could get down to 165 again I'd be skinny. Charts said my "normal" range was 120-140 and I felt like that was ridiculous. When I reached 160 I was surprised at how much fat was still on my body. Again at 145. When I reached 130 I could finally see that those numbers made sense. I was fit, not a lifter but not sedentary either. The range was perfect.

Yep, same here. Last 2 week trip to Paris / Chamonix resulted in my losing a few pounds just because we're covering 12 - 14 miles on foot daily. It probably helps that I don't really care for much French food and just ate kebab the whole time.

This is a great outline of the question at the heart of my book. Why do we play? Well, why do we do anything? Why do we grow up? Why are we motivated to do anything that doesn't lead to security, water, food, sex, and status?

Why do we dream in RuneScape?

Why is "coping" the meme answer to Why We Play?

Why this game? What makes it different? Is it different?

Why is this place a viable world?

Why does the RuneScape wiki grow and grow? Is it inevitable?

Why did RuneScape come into existence? Why and how does this game evolve?

Bingo.

I'll make a note of your HN handle and try and get in touch when I start publishing. I really appreciate your comment, it's so validating when someone says: "As someone who plays and has since I was around 10, I often think about that same question." You and I are not alone in this, every time I talk about this project people are really interested. I don't think the same is true for most non-fiction books-in-progress.

Well respectfully, you provided the original project spec as an example of where objects were required, and I demonstrated that no, they mostly weren't. I agree that it's unproductive for you to keep adding things to the spec so that I can demonstrate that nope, you still don't need objects to do all that.

All that objects are, are functions glued to data. That's it. Whether or not you choose to glue them together, the behavior of the dog lies in the functions, and the state of the dog lies in the data. Frankly, your examples seem to lead away from objects - how will another developer add the ability to heal dogs, for instance? They can't change the class definition, so they'll have to do something awful like subclass it into HealableDog(), which doesn't interoperate with all the existing dog code at all. Meanwhile, if 'dog' is simply a big ol' struct of data, they can write a function heal(dog) and call it a day.

I highly recommend the first part of this video, which explains the composability problems with objects very well - with dogs and cats even! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kc9HwsxE1OY

Count me mystified as to why there needs to be another format for citations.

There are orgs doing super heavy lifting like crossref and orcid to make discovery as data better while google etc make things worse by encouraging discovery as content without offering standard outputs.

At least in this case, Github will output standards in the UI, but it would be much better to encourage storage in those formats too, instead of adding one.
Letter from Susan: Our 2022 Priorities
The mission being referred to was capturing a Russian satellite in a polar orbit in the cargo bay and returning it to earth. The shuttle also needed big wings to provide the cross-range capability it would need to complete one polar orbit and land at the original launch point (Vandenberg) despite the earth having rotated, moving the airbase by many hundreds of miles since takeoff.

The original NASA spec had a smaller cargo bay and wings because it would have mainly been a crew ferry. As a result it would also have been launchable on top of a rocket instead of strapped to the side, giving better safety. Significant cargoes would have been launched independently.
Does anybody actually think we shouldn't change anything if we can't figure out what the original reason after a good faith effort? That just seems like a straw man that simply isn't what Chesteron's fence is about.
Tenerife has better weather and you're going to notice if you're staying for more than a short while. That makes Tenerife a hotspot of tourism, especially around Playa de las Americas/Los Cristianos.

I recommend less touristy places, but stay near if you like parties. Los Gigantes is cool and cheaper a bit.

I never really stayed for long on Gran Canaria so I can just say it is nice.

No contacts unfortunately, I'm not staying there permanently and when I do I just work with my clients from mainland EU.
You definitely shouldn't be downvoted, this is a very valid point.
The United States National Park Service has an internal division called the "Natural Sounds and Night Skies" group [0] which provides scientific research on the anthropogenic impacts on the sound and light-scapes in US National Parks. They have a particular focus on sounds made by aircraft.

One of the ways they do this is by positioning microphones in fairly hilariously remote places and leaving them there for a while. I have a friend who was an intern with them in Alaska, and got to ride in helicopters to service microphones mounted on glaciers. They have many thousands of hours of audio recordings.

They've published scientific articles quite extensively on this topic [1].

Suppose you work in a suburban office park with a decent-sized office park building. It might take you 5 minutes to walk from your car to your cubicle, and another 5 minutes from your cubicle to the cafeteria. That puts you at 20 minutes a workday of physical activity... add another daily trip to the cafeteria for coffee, and that would be the minimum threshold for physical activity.
I am in the same flabby boat really. I don't really need a lot of health to keep my life where it is now. Can I walk? Can I talk? Can I go up two flights of stairs? Can I carry a piece of luggage to the car to go to an airport?

Beyond that, I have no real physical needs living the stereotypical software dev life behind a computer.

That makes sense. I do often find myself craving a dessert after eating what is otherwise a very satisfying meal. I should try fruit afterwards. A few years ago, whenever I felt too full from a big meal, I would eat a banana, which felt like it helped.

The one I value is the "performance optimizations" and the last one.

Problem is if we let squash zealots have their way they are gone together with the rest.

Storage is cheap.

You'll never ever be bothered by those commits unless you are bisecting and at that point you are probably thankful of you can find a commit message along the lines of:

- performance optimizations

- workaround for weird problem foo problem in prod

as they will tell you a lot about how to approach it.

Edit:

Just having tests and modification because of tests added in their own commit and with a comment ("Also includes modifications to xyz to simplify testing." above) is useful.

I do look into commits on a weekly basis or more to figure out why stuff was moved / replaced.

Just yesterday I stopped a PR because a constant was changed in an unrelated commit as part of the larger PR.

Because commits are granular it was really easy to see that it wasn't intended.
Given the recent posts about compile-to-SQL languages, I thought I'd post here a
link to FunSQL.jl which is another interesting point in the design space and
which, I think, has quite a few really useful design decisions.

The library presents an API of combinators for query construction but it's
totally possible to build a concrete syntax around it (in fact I did it for my
port in OCaml). But syntax isn't really this important (it is of course) but the
compositional semantics FunSQL.jl provides:

1. Query combinators can be composed together in any order (if they are
"compatible") unlike SQL where structure SELECT .. FROM .. WHERE .. is rigid:

from users
where is_active
select username

(also `from` being the first combinator makes code completion much powerful).

2. The way FunSQL.jl treats `group by` as just another kind of namespace,
aggregates are then specified as just expressions under this namespace:

from users as u
join (from comments group by user_id) as c on c.user_id = u.id
select
u.username,
c.count() as comment_count,
c.max(created_date) as comment_last_created_date

In the example above the `c` subrelation is grouped by `user_id` but it doesn't
specify any aggregates - they are specified in the `select` below so you have
all selection logic co-located in a single place.

This is a really useful feature, from my point of view, as it's allows you to
construct re-usable query fragments first and then combine them to build
complete quries.

3. In other aspects FunSQL.jl is really close to SQL which I think is a big
plus as well — familiriaty.
I think going from almost no exercise to walking a few miles a day probably has enough of a positive effect as to help some people break the "feel like crap > eat comfort and junk food to feel better > feel like crap later" death spiral.

If they had reached some sort of "stable" level of obesity, that is if they had plateaud their weight gain naturally, then a sudden consistent 400kcal deficit would result in some change. Assuming they didn't eat more to make up for it.
Thanks for the detailed answer!

I think in general I can see that startups are exploiting the interviewing process itself as an arbitrage to get smart people in.
Large companies to some extent are very set on the interview "loop" and would go through the whole assortment of their test suite irrespective of who it is, maybe they can afford to and they may even have to at scale as a process discipline to avoid false positives. But this is a clear advantage for startups hiring since by their nature itself get lower inbound so they can customize their interviews to either make it more specific or remove certain rounds altogether depending on the signal they get from the candidate.
Thanks folks, much needed! Where is the list of destinations today?
> force China to open more ports for trade

of opium...

This is a bit like that debate about Confederate states fighting for state rights. The right to own slaves.

China didn't want to trade much except for silver and opium. The Chinese trade was emptying British coffers of silver so the British forced trade of one of the few things the Chinese were willing to trade in exchange for their highly sought out goods.
Apple via iCloud+. For $2.99/mo I get email w/ custom domain, photo storage, VPN, password manager, and more. It's hard to beat. They have a few data centers outside the US, but I think if you're a US customer email is hosted in US.
I remember writing a Foobar2000 plugin to emulate the Winamp API so my mIRC song spam scripts still functioned. It was buggy as hell as I was still new to C++ programming and it eventually got added to a hard-coded blacklist in the app for causing stability issues.

I ended up open sourcing it and it still lives on 19 year later, about three forks deep and a lot more stable and functional. The power of open source!
This seems like an odd way to define "inactive"

This survey asked respondents if, in the past month, they did any physical activity outside of their regular job. People who said “no” were classified as inactive.

By this classification, somebody who is very active in their job (think of a postman walking 8 hours as an example) would be classified as inactive.
> and it fell in rank because users flagged it, not because moderators did anything

Moderators get involvedin flagged articles on their own initiative all the time. Inaction is a form of action.

> He's clearly insinuating that we use insider powers to favor stripe.com submissions with special treatment on HN. That's precisely what we don't do.

You've admitted on multiple occasions that you intentionally choose to do specific things depending on the content, its authors, and the users. I'm not sure special treatment is even a concept that applies; everything mods do or don't do is special treatment because it's all based on instinct and whim, not some unbiased algorithm (and algorithms have bias too)

> Stripe succeeded on HN because they were favored by the community for many years. They are one of a small number of startups who have reached what you could call 'community darling' status

And that status comes from being coached in how to become a community darling. And from YC loving on Stripe, which the "community" is naturally biased towards. If jgc takes a dump, it gets upvoted. So backing Stripe in any way buys them a part of the community.

Whatever you believe, at least recognize that you don't have to consciously choose to favor someone for it to influence your actions subconsciously. That's the entire idea behind bias in hiring and cultural stereotype. The effect is real and it effects everyone, even yourselves at HN. If you haven't observed it, you're not looking for it.
Perhaps you should remind China of this as they exercise their economic power with their 1B1R policies[1] in the Indian Ocean basin.

Walking alone with no other changes will do little for weight loss. But exercise does affect diet and satiety. There are also changes in terms of mental well being. Keeping active has benefits well beyond mere calorie expenditure.

I'm pretty sure this isn't true. Just take a look at data of American BMI over time[1]. I don't think you can explain that away as "people are tall" (BMI takes height into account) and muscular, with a straight face -- very, very few people have BMIs over 25 due to muscle and very, very, very, _very_ few people have BMIs over 30 due to muscle. I think most people's natural judgement of overweight and obese are correct and for the vast majority of people it accurately buckets them into overweight/obese classifications because they are.

The shuttle carried out multiple classified military missions, although fewer than planned. It had capabilities unique to its design. The difference is that the Soviets didn't have the economic base to support such an inefficient design.

I'm considered overweight by BMI measurements due to my height & build, but I'm actually quite active by lifting weights, playing basketball, and running regularly(5x a week usually).

I'm in the best shape of my life and yet these indicators of average health do not really represent me. Getting in that shape I believe saved my life when I got covid prior to the vaccines being available to everyone (Jan 2021). It was a couple of rough nights breathing with mild heart/chest inflammation. Thankfully that all went away with enough time (up to 10-12 months).

My lung capacity has increased from all of the cardio and my resting heart rate is in the 50s down from the 80-100s years ago. Wim Hof's deep breathing exercises have helped me through all of this not only by increasing my lung capacity, but also the mindfulness brought when in extreme discomfort and pain. If you experience any type of anxiety or breathing difficulties, give his techniques a try.

Exercise has so many benefits that it's hard to express in a single comment alone but should definitely be a priority in life when you realize them in your own journey.
