For a good larf, look up the “MOU” (Memorandum of Understanding) associated with this gong show.

If you want to be upset, look up the backgrounds of the organizers and coordinators.

It’s not surprising that people are upset about the uneven handling of this pandemic. But one should not rally behind those organizers.

The pandemic is obviously drawing to a close: increasing numbers of densely populated cities are no longer in crisis. Seems likely that it’ll be only a few more weeks until a great many restrictions are lifted. I guess now’s the time to protest, before there’s no need for it any more.

The upside is that Canada has has a great vaccine uptake.

I think winters up here (at least, used to) forge our bonds: surviving the old Canadian Winters required cooperation and support. You shovel the old senior neighbour’s driveway, the pregnant mom’s driveway, pull over to help a breakdown, hold the door open, apologize when you’ve been inconsiderate, queue up, greet a passing familiar face. You get your vaccine because it’s better for everyone when you do.

It’s a real shame that those particular organizers made out like bandits.
I meant regarding modi
Okay but, and hear me out here, I hate talking on the phone. I cannot stand the difficulties of mutual accent-interpretation and talking over restaurant crowd noise. I will always use an app/website to order if it's an option, even if it's technically less efficient.

(Similarly, I also hate ordering at drive-throughs because the intercoms are generally terrible. I'll get out of my car and walk inside to order if that's an option.)
That might be a step further than is necessary. I don’t think you have to like yourself, and it’s much easier to like yourself if someone else likes you first.

However, I do agree that you need to get past self-loathing to at least self-acceptance of some kind. Mostly because self-loathing means putting your attention on yourself, and that is what makes it hard to connect with other people.

It’s ok to not have a high opinion of yourself as long as you don’t place too much importance on it, and are on with yourself.
Sorry for a series of posts. Here is another one.

I mean this seriously, because the people are trying to solve their real problems with the tools available to them. So this has a good educational exercise.
That’s because you were refunded automatically without human intervention. This is what the author of the comment pointed out: once you do that too often in a short period of time, the bot assumes you’re scamming them and there’s no way to escalate that.
> An alternative is to look at interventions that extend the lifespan of other animals. Some, such as calorie restriction, do seem to reduce epigenetic age in mice. Nevertheless, Kaeberlein wants to see all such manipulations systematically investigated — and the proposition that clock scores can predict lifespans at the individual level tested.

> He stresses the importance of reporting negative results, and determining whether all treatments that extend lifespan or improve late-life functionality decrease epigenetic age — as well as whether all interventions that decrease clock scores increase longevity.

This is it, test the theory properly in mice. Forget doing poorly designed human trials until then.
I like it. Anyone who’s written complex Excel formulas knows the pain of those deeply nested function calls. For those scenarios this is much easier to read IMHO.
Just to clarify I'm looking for blog posts, articles, videos rather than people to type their opinions here.
If you are unhappy, this is not your peak. Perhaps you are gauging your peak based on other people's expectations. Do what seems right for you. It's okay to try something new.
This certainly one of the best videos I've seen, but it still inevitably falls into the trap of throwing ad hominem around occasionally. It greatly detracts from its integrity and its façade of neutrality.
I've got that house, spouse, kid stuff. It's awesome, but also an anchor that limits what you can do, where you can go, etc. You don't have that at the moment, so go be spontaneous. I don't travel any more, but you can. I don't do silly, dumb, or risky stuff any more, but you can.

You sound like a mid career dev, you should be well situated. OK 401K, pay, 'benes, etc. About wealth, they say "you can't take it with you." Spend some of it living it up now while you're well situated.

Typographic standards typically don't, either. Fortunately, there's more than one way to convey emphasis.

Also, single functions that are long enough to contain something analogous to paragraphs are arguably not Pythonic in the first place.
That is what we pay them for, to a material degree. iOS wins in a lot of use-cases because it's perceived as the platform that better protects privacy.

Move to NYC or a different large city. (I am assuming you perhaps live in the Bay Area). SF is intersting, but the rest of the Bay Area is a giant suburb. It is nice to live as a family (but expensive), but it is not the right place for younger single people.

In NYC you will find enough of everything. As a city it has different problems (eg. hustler culture, dating is like mortal kombat, making you feel disposable, where anything longer than 3 months is considered long term). But at least you wont be bored.

And if you don't like interacting with people, just go to coffee places, work from there and people watch. NYC has plenty to offer.

It's funny that this is a patent, as all that happens is every order gets put into the system, when the cook puts the order in the oven they hit an enter key. ~7 minutes later it says it's done. That's how long it takes to get through the oven.

Their ability to have every franchise and user connected to one site is impressive, and the recent addition of a driver tracker app is neat/creepy, but really it's a fancy timer.

The reference book here is a collection of dialogs made by Cicero where he argues that there are two types of oratory: the short, "elegant", straight to the point one and the profuse, "appealing", heart touching one. Cicero himself says (in that book) he is in favor the latter. The book is not about nuance, but rather discourse style. In his (Cicero's) view, the better oratory style is the one that touches the audience as opposed to carefully chosen words. Based on the book, IMO, Cicero is more focused on arguing in favor of passionate speeches than nuance per se.

PS. I believe the quotes used are a bit misleading because they are used as counterexamples in the original text.
There is a theory floated by some UnchartedX, that many of the monuments and artifacts in Egypt were built by a far older, unknown civilization, and the carving of names in them was essentially appropriation by the Pharos.

Every time some new thing is found, I check to see if it fits or refutes this theory and adjust my probability of it being true. This particular story doesn't really shift the odds for me.
The problem is not money, there is only so much any one engineer can do, and there are only so many engineers you can have working on anything. No one can "solve" security simply by buying more engineers, what is needed is time.
I completely agree, good point! Historically Chesterton's Fence is that you shouldn't remove something until you understand why it's there, but we should probably broaden the lesson to cover change of any kind. Something like, "Don't remove anything until you understand why it's there, and don't use something new until you understand under what conditions that new thing is better (vs. when it isn't)." I'm not against change, but I do hate the endless cargo cults.

Looks like either is correct, but I learned a new word!
Moreover, you can't even phone Uber Eats!

I had a huge delivery of Chinese food left on my doorstep (it was still quite hot). Obviously, delivered to the wrong address. The bill was fully itemized and stapled to one of the Uber bags and it came to just short of $200 but there was no correct address and no telephone number to be found on it anywhere.

Anyway, I did my best to contact Uber Eats to get the delivery person to collect it but to no awail. Checked everywhere for a telephone number including searching the internet and found nothing except the number that explained how to place an order. When I rang it, it had a recording - no hunan to be found anywhere.

I couldn't log in on online as I didn't have an account.

And no one reappeared from Uber to reclaim it.

Anyway, I gave up. There was so much food I couldn't get it all into the freezer. It lasted several weeks. Saved a lot on food bills over that time.

Damn fuckwits!
I was thinking that Apple dropped the modem from its Powerbook line, but apparently, it wasn't until after the Intel switch that the modems disappeared. I don't think I ever used the modem in my early Macs.

Show HN: Stupid Simple YouTube Recommendation System
Hi everyone, I was wondering if it would be possible to build a better YouTube recommendation system using only simple heuristics and no ML/Data Science whatsoever. This is the result. I leave you to do judge if it's actually better then Youtube's recommendation system.

I echo those suggesting working on yourself. Maybe therapy might be a good option?

I went through a good three years in NYC where I was completely alone, isolated. I tried to branch out, but nothing really stuck until I lucked on a group of friends who I’ve had now for over 5 years.

Sometimes you have to have patience and be content with waiting. The harder you force it, the slower it will come. Sometimes you have to wait years, life does not move on your schedule. In the meantime, you can control working on yourself.
The 'connections' aren't exact. There is a lot of poetic licence. It's entertainment that is an easy way of giving you lots of general knowledge.

Not the answer but a good idea spinner: sports. I met a ton of people doing cycling group rides, and first went for a MTB ride as a non date with my now wife. We were on distant leaves of a social tree but that was a great way to spend time one on one and just have fun. And it’s healthy and can be competitive and gets you out of the headspace of “only know software.”
That's what happens when marketing squares up against reality
The Taco Bell and Chick-fil-a apps are amazing. I spend as much time as I want going over the menu, customizing my items as I see fit (steak instead of ground beef, or creamy salsa dressing instead of avocado lime), and pay for it before I get in the car.

When I drive up, I just say "online order for function_seven" and they say, "cool, we'll have it at the window".

The staff taking orders from the speaker are often doing 2 things at once. They're also taking money from another car or prepping orders as well. They don't catch every nuance, and screw it up half the time. Not their fault! They're not being allowed to focus on one thing.

The app is like skipping that unreliable middleman and putting my order directly into their system.
I wish the fallacy of induced demands and its knock ons were accepted common knowledge, but alas I'm always disproven.

If DeFi is to be the finanacial service of the masses why do I have to have a math degree to understand this article?
This is also my understanding of a DAO as a method of parceling out work and rewarding those who complete it. The overall value derived from all work within the community backs up the value of the reward offered. This is a "Sweat Equity" or perhaps "Sweat Debt" use of the DAO concept and has an appeal to small unfunded startup type initiatives who have an idea and clear work objectives but don't have deep pockets to reward talent at the outset. In this light I find DAOs to be a potential game changer.

Completely right, but please do it in the woods or any place where you feel you good. Not anywhere in a club or so.
I think this is a great idea. In a similar vein, they could also try a running club. There are running clubs everywhere and they look for people of all skill levels (your target could be a 5K, 10k, etc). There are smaller “pods” of people running at different paces, so you can always find a group that matches your skill level. They are also very encouraging and a good way to meet a variety of people. After-run drinks is also not uncommon.

But, with the CrossFit suggestion and this one, I think that the exercise component is just as important as the social aspects. Exercise can help just as much mentally as physically. The notion on a “runners high” is a real effect.

Being able to do it alone or in a group is also a bonus. I have run both with a club and by myself. You don’t have to wait for someone else to get started. You can join a gym or you can run outside. If you have running shoes, you can start today. (Okay, if you’re in the northeast, you might want to wait a few days…)

Another benefit to running — your coding will get better. Seriously. When you have time to stop and think more about a problem, away from the keyboard, problems get easier to solve. I’ve debugged several issues just by stopping and going for a run.

Finally the feeling of finishing a race — no matter the distance — is great. You don’t need to run in a race to get the other benefits, but it’s nice to have a goal.
Ultimate (frisbee) is also great for pretty casual sporting.

This article is abstract, hand waving, vague prediction nonsense in this context.

It already works to have large blocks, it always has. Why don't you tell me specifically and technically where you think the bottleneck is?

The CPU is a fraction of one core, bitcoin's transaction fees have been at times more than the cost of hard drive space to store the entire chain, and only servers even need to sync chains in the first place.

Bitcoin is crippled to sell a second layer. If you look at its throughput, it is literally less than a dial up modem. The average block size is 700KB every 10 minutes. You can print base64 characters on a laser printer and get more data throughput on paper.

No one has ever been able to give me a credible answer here because it doesn't exist. The best anyone can do is gish gallop with unrelated nonsense hoping that other people who read their reply can't make sense of it.
This story isn't really about carbon fiber... it's about finding a way to recycle thermosetting plastics. Carbon fiber is just the click bait.

If they can indeed depolymerize thermoset plastics. (Which are hard and brittle, thus useful when in composite with something strong in tension like carbon fiber), it would be an over all good.

> My point is you let people have their different styles, reject changes on lines where code isn't changed, and coach the style zealots to calm down

Code with style changes, especially within a file, is harder to follow than almost any reasonable consistent style. And adopting a common formatter with common settings is a lot less work than “reject changes on lines where code isn't changed, and coach the style zealots to calm down” even if it was neutral in readability.

But intermediate variables are almost always better if named properly, as they provide a contextual name as to the purpose of the output of the function. Then only very minor downside is a bit more typing and more lines of code.
Always have an exit plan, what I mean by this, is make sure you have the means to walk away from bad situations.

I see this alot where people get stuck in a rut and then it becomes unpleasant for everyone, it could be people stuck in a marriage/relationship who stay together for any number of reasons include for the sake of the kids, in a job you dont want to do anymore, or in a location you dont want to be anymore.

Maybe go travelling, if you can work from home, whats stopping you from travelling and working at the same time provided the net access is good enough where ever you go? You only need 56K for VoIP, 2/3times that for AV comms, and mobile telecoms internet is getting better all the time.

It seems like only yesterday, I was skyping someone for an hour from a boat over the 3G network when that telecoms std appeared.

Job flexibility is key though and I'm aware many people dont have that, but if you do have that flexibility or you can create that flexibility like setting up your own business then go for it, the technology is only going to get better and cheaper making this more of a reality for people in more and more places around the world.

You've completely missed the point. For the past decade the market for EV was just not there.

Tesla accounts for less than 25% of the EV sold this year, which is a clear indication that the amount of EV sold wasn't limited by Tesla's production abilities.

> Go have a free test drive in one. And then in some other "cheap ones". All I have to say.

Have you ever driven a German car? The Tesla is a typical American car, less comfortable and less reliable than it should be for the price tag. No wonder why Germans and Japanese took over the US market for ICE cars years ago.

Tesla has the first mover advantage and the status symbol (“like Apple but for cars”).
