BMI is just a very rough approximation used to fit body fat.

Any amount of muscle can slip someone into the overwight category if they are already close. For a 5-10 male, the difference between dead center normal BMI and pre-obese is 20 lbs, not a crazy amount for a casual but consistent weightlifter.

BMI 'works' because it just looks at the total population, and doest care if it doesn't fit edge cases.
Where are you getting your Pinot Noir from? I routinely buy e.g. Alsatian Pinot Noir for maybe $15 that is very good. With some effort, you might be able to find some hidden gems in Oregon loosely in that price range.

While the US produces excellent wine, Europe usually wins the price/quality battle.
His entire rant is filled with Pizzagate-level reasoning and accusations. I doubt Stripe gave two craps about Bolt, and that its founders and YC probably spent more time talking about the weather.

It can be really tough to get people out of the beige box mentality if they have never encountered anything different. The first time you blow away their production server(s) and replace them with what is checked into git can be rough.

Then you get into serverless and suddenly they can’t log into production anymore, and they have to instrument their code, and work within finite resources - all that stuff they ignored in college about manipulating datasets larger then core memory are suddenly relevant.

When we did our transition to serverless we found that the people who complained the loudest about their traditional servers being mysteriously corrupted were actually the same that had obtained admin rights “so they could work faster” and were going into the servers and blowing away configuration files, altering permissions, and making other changes. Once there was no more ssh and no more root privileges our outages dropped two thirds. Today it’s mostly third party outages impacting us and people deploying untested code to production.

The bottom end companies are completely drained of talent right now. You have people getting hired for jobs who could be out performed by someone with 6 months training/practice.

So the top end companies with VC money or huge bank accounts get a wealth of talent while everyone else is thankful they have a web developer who knows the difference between margin and padding or what responsive design means.

I realize my comment gave perhaps an inaccurate impression, but even with an incredibly sparse itinerary, and bounteous amounts of time (I spent weeks in Italy. I went through Belgium and France over two weeks. I spent a day just wandering around Paris with no itinerary, in addition to days more doing a variety of things), being completely inundated with new and unknown -- even the most benign door or building -- added to staying in a strange places, eating at strange places, and being detached from your normal life, for me at least made the experience far less...persistent.

The Sistine Chapel experience, for instance, aside from being just a mass of people being shuffled through one of the largest tourist draws in the world, was on a day that started with incidentally seeing Pope JP2 give an address, and ended with seeing the Dalai Lama at Tivoli when going there for a dinner (two spiritual leaders in one day! Yet I remain an agnostic). In the end the Chapel got filed away as "neat some stuff painted on a ceiling". That is an extreme example, but for my "a 100 year old is historic" North American sensibilities, virtually everything in places like Belgium, France and Italy is overwhelming, from the weird little waffle shop in Ypres to the sound of bells, the stones on the street, etc, everything just becomes an onslaught of overwhelming experience.
I guess it depends on how big of a "they" is required -- and if this is an attack, not harsh laughter.

That said, I think Gemini is intentionally designed to be ignored; an enclave or ghetto on the Internet, depending which connotations the speaker wants to have. Its success or failure will depend on its ability to have a self-sustaining community, which is interesting mainly in that discovering Gemini requires finding it via the web at the moment. I suppose there might be a Gemini-IRC connection, too; we will see if Gemini has IRC's longevity.
You don't edit more than one file? Why would the shape meanings in one file carry over to another? Generally, the only signal that may carry over is the indentation levels. For the intuitive sense you speak of to develop, your file structures have to be highly regular across the board. TBH, I haven't even seen conventional Ruby on Rails code bases that can give me that.

> At the release of Sideways, everyone and their brother knew the major wine varieties, and had opinions.

I think it's probably more accurate to say that everyone felt they were supposed to be familiar with the major wine varieties so all had picked up the terms and desperately clung to a few half-earned opinions because they didn't want to appear unsophisticated. But I think most people didn't actually have particularly strongly held or individually acquired wine preferences. (It's well known that even professionals can often not correctly identify what variety or even what color wine they're drinking.)

This is a social situation that's ripe for a radical opinion swing. Because everyone is trying to look like they know what everyone else knows but there's little "ground truth" (i.e. actual personal opinions) slowing down the change. So when a movie like Sideways comes out with a character who clearly cares deeply about wine and knows a lot and expresses a strong opinion. Well, I guess merlot's not cool anymore.

A bunch of Oregon lighthouses exist in OSM but they don't have specific data about the signal sequence yet so they aren't displayed on this map. (an example of a sequence would be 0.5+(3.5) which means the light is shown for 0.5 seconds and eclipsed for 3.5 seconds)

From the README: "it asks the Overpass API for all elements with an seamark:light:sequence attribute"

If you run the query here you'll see that there's not any lights with sequence data in Oregon yet.
https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1fnZ

If you run a new query you can find that there are plenty of lights on the OR coast with other attributes. (try searching for: "seamark:light:character=*" for instance)

I looked at some US coast guard data and found that while most light houses have data on the colour, characteristic, and period, it's rarer to have sequence data. I think for most purposes, just knowing that there's a white light that flashes every 4 seconds is good enough. Knowing that the light flashes for 0.5 seconds is probably less needed (unless you're making a map visualization)

If you really want to see the OR lighthouses you could find and add sequence data to lighthouses in OSM. Or you could fork this and write some code to visualize the lights that have some data (like colour and period) but not sequence, by making some assumptions/default values.
I'm specifically talking electronics, where the usefulness runs out very quickly... As soon as you get to EMI/EMC there is no real liquid analogy (so that rules out basically any reasonably complex custom electronic design you're going to get certified to sell as a product). Parasitic effects of traces, ESR, characteristic impedance, etc. are similarly problematic (people try to come up with stuff like springs or flexible tubes for characteristic impedance but again it's just more confusing in practice). So that rules out anything decently high speed digital (like, say, routing DDR3/4). That's of course not to mention RF, antennas, transmission lines etc. where all bets are off.
Hi Ryan - welcome to capitalism!

he is just picking a fight to get to the next wave of twitter followers. Top players will always have strong network effects and will defend their territory. We have been rejected twice by YC which means nothing. You can beat a strong network by innovating in distribution and product. But that is very hard to do so the simpler thing is pick the biggest guy on the street and start a fight to get attention.

I don't think so, if you assume that learning is a linear thing and at the end of it you improve as a dev.

But the problem is that learning isn't one curve, it's a bunch of them and most of them lead to dead ends or even turn backwards after a while.

If you bloat out a language, what happens is that some subset of devs (like, maybe 10%) write really great code and have all the tools they'll ever need to do so. And the other 90% learn a chaotic mix of good and bad practices from each other, without the ability to properly distinguish them, and eventually reach some local maxima amongst themselves of overcomplicated "average" code that's shittier than I imagine it would be if they just kept the language simple.

But over on Twitter the same is true, with Stripe's annoucement coming a few hours before Bolt's:

https://twitter.com/stripe/status/986651162760724480

https://twitter.com/bolt/status/986700626364055552

And anyway Stripe's release was announcing the release of the product on that day, it wasn't just a random marketing filler. There is a just no way a company the size of Stripe is going to put something as sensitive as a new fraud detection system in production, on a 1h notice just to steal some views from a competitor's blog post if it's not 100% ready.

I don't trust for 1 second that the CEO of a company in the same space can believe that either.
Hey, sounds like you're familiar with some of the teachings. But mindfulness is not associated with samatha but rather vipassana in the western world, even though the most accurate Pali word for mindful abiding is sati. Samatha is classically associated with one-pointedness that can be a helpful adjunct to a practice of insight as the revelations that accompany a sustained insight practice can often be disturbing. Meditators steady their minds with the deeply pleasant states of jhana or near-jhana (laya) as base camps for insight practice.

If we look at the suttas, the Satipatthana Sutta, or Discourse on the Establishment of Mindfulness, offers a recipe to remain mindful of the sense aggregates to achieve insight:

"In this way he remains focused internally on the body in & of itself, or externally on the body in & of itself, or both internally & externally on the body in & of itself. Or he remains focused on the phenomenon of origination with regard to the body, on the phenomenon of passing away with regard to the body, or on the phenomenon of origination & passing away with regard to the body. Or his mindfulness that 'There is a body' is maintained to the extent of knowledge & remembrance. And he remains independent, unsustained by (not clinging to) anything in the world. This is how a monk remains focused on the body in & of itself."
Or if we're keeping with the movie references, "I do not think that means what you think it means."

Not that this is much consolation, but keep in mind that it's not the world that aims to destroy your small genuine thing, but instead a tiny army of unscrupulous jerks.

A mathematical proof that OOP programs are more modular and less complex then procedural or functional programs.

We are in the realm of logic and idealized language primitives. Thus things can be proven via logic. Science, statistics and other data driven methods are weaker wherever something can be proven via logic. So while popularity doesn't even serve to slightly support the hypothesis of success, even if it did, a logical proof is superior and makes the conclusion definitive.

If such a thing is discovered it is definitive. It will destroy all arguments against OOP.

Until then the next best thing is examples. Given an OOP program, give the FP or imperative equivalent. Prove the OOP program is definitively better for the one single case.

That's essentially what SQL views do. Each view is a query and then you can treat it like a table and filter/join on it.

Of course, then the problem becomes whether or not the query planner can see through the view to the underlying tables to optimize correctly.

Didn't think I'd see RuneScape on HN today. As someone who plays and has since I was around 10, I often think about that same question. Sometimes I think of myself as being from the early 2000s Internet, rather than my hometown. Being online was where I felt like I belonged. RuneScape was like going out to play in the woods. I grew up there.

For me most of that play time has been worth it. Games and wanting to make them are what got me interested in programming. Now I'm a software engineer. People worry about kids' screen time, but I spent most of my time as a kid in front of the computer, programming and gaming. Far beyond acceptable amounts of screen time for a kid, but without that I don't know what I would've been interested in. Certainly there were different kinds of games back then. No ads, short gameplay loops, or microtransactions. From games I learned how to find information online, not many wikis then. I got better at reading, typing, and socializing through online games and forums. I set my own goals and achieved them. I was able to gain more confidence about myself. Games gave me a safe, small microcosm of the world to be excited about.

I could ramble on, but I'd definitely be interested in reading your thoughts about games and play.

There’s a lot to like here. The ordering and the ability to write functions.

I’m not a big fan of the ternary operator. I think the ‘? :’ is hard to read and caters to programmers from system programming languages. A query language should cater to BI and stats people as they typically have a harder time learning syntax than a CS person has learning non-C-like syntax.

I’ve always liked Pythons ‘val if condition else other_val’. It’s easy to read for new-comers, while the ‘? :’ is a devil to google for.

In the second example I don’t understand why there are both let statements and select statements for the same columns. I also don’t understand why select uses square brackets. Maybe I’m too used to sql but why not just not have brackets?

I experimented with Modafinil back in 2013 when I was working on a startup like project, where I had a lot to do in different areas (hardware, software, backend, frontend etc etc).

Modafinil really helped me concentrate. But sometimes it was also a "miss". That is, I would focus on something totally unrelated to my project. For instance, one day I spent 6 hours comparing Vegas hotel room prices over different days of a month.

The side effects were annoying, to say the least. Itchy ears and eyes, dry mouth, occasional anxiety, talkativeness etc.
