Articles that speak of evolution as a person with intent are strange to me.
React's blessing and curse is that it is so (relatively) simple. It holds only one opinion, that UI should be a pure function of input/state. It leaves everything else up to "you", which is where the problem sets in.
I think the main risk is that Google gives up on GCP overall, since it’s never been profitable and is still a long way from getting there.
> Uh, why are the people you know more valid than the people I know?

I never made such a claim. I explained some subset of the population that is different than yours. I never made an assumption about the population as a whole, which “almost all users” from the original post does. I intentionally did not attempt to take my experience and claim it is representative of the population.

You further prove my original point by stating “tbh, I don’t think anyone does that on their phone.” You feel confident that your experiences represent the population that you can speculate about what they do? That you can speak for users in India, grandma’s in Indiana, and software engineers in Texas?

I see this logic often in policy debates and it affects outcomes which has the potential to hurt groups outside the advocate’s bubble, even with the best of intentions, simply because they think they understand the population, rather than being aware of how much they don’t know. Again, I never claimed you were right or wrong, I just pointed out you don’t have justifiable confidence, in a statistical sense, to make such claims.
really a lovely thread, as an aside here is nice Nimplementation of dc called ad: https://github.com/subsetpark/ad
It's not just the BPM. When music is pitched down, it loses some of it's shrillness. The lack of higher pitches can have a calming effect because that's where the ears get most fatigued and feel the most "pain" from listening.

There's a whole genre of music called Slowed and Reverbed that slows all kinds of music down. Here's an example of a slowed song and a it's original:

> it's increasingly common to lie with statistics.

I'm pretty sure it has always been the case: ""Lies, damned lies, and statistics" can be traced back at least as far as 188x.

Besides, the chain of lies is super long. Sample selection. Data collection. Data analysis. Reporting. Publishing. At each steps, so many things can go wrong: errors, agenda, corruption, bias...

In the case of Covid, we already have plenty of terrible communication from the entities at play, so at this point, it's kinda hard to have an informed opinion.
Yes, 432 is much easier to work with when you're factoring - as music demands. As well though, many musicians can certainly hear the difference, as pointed out.

Incidentally, there are 432,000 seconds in 12 hours.

Also fun - while continuing to acknowledge the somewhat arbitrary nature of human units - the diameter of the moon is 2159.1 miles - remarkably close to half of 4,320. The Sun's diameter is 865,370 miles - very close to twice 432,000. That they look the same size from Earth is wild to me, and suggests that Pythagoras may have been onto something with the music of the spheres bit.

Also, just because our units could be otherwise, doesn't mean they are entirely arbitrary. I believe that things like that have a sort of wisdom of the crowds, evolution over time thing going on. Like other aspects of language, there is more to its development than is immediately obvious.

Note that Schrödinger's thought experiment is intended to ridicule this way of thinking. Schrödinger is trying to suggest that since it's clearly nonsensical to imagine that maybe a whole cat can be both dead and alive the same would be true for other macroscopic subjects.

Instead popular culture has decided that at best, this is what Schrödinger believed (Ha those crazy scientists) and at worst that somehow the cats being dead and not-dead at the same time is the core idea of quantum physics :/
A reasonable conclusion for advice to a government. Currency controls and manipulation are the most powerful controls nation state governments have. The important question remains, is what is good for the government, good for its people?
I guess you already know, and you're asking exactly because you know..
But programming does not create value, it creates programs, which may create value..

Programming is a skill sure, but it does not create value, it creates programs.

Programs may create value, so, the valuable skill is not really being able to create a program, but being able to find some problem, whose solution creates value.

Programming may be required if the problem can be solved by a program, or if a program can solve a problem so much better or faster or cheaper that there is additional value in employing the program..

I'm a programmer, I love programming, but I'm entirely aware that actual programming is not what makes the money.
If I had _the_idea_ pop into my head, I'd probably start developing prototypes, that's where my skill would be best applied at that stage.. If they showed promise, I'd likely start full-time development on it, but I'd be looking carefully for the point where I'd be able take on additional programmers and focus more on _the_idea_ and what's around that, I'd definitely hire marketing and leadership too, since those are also not my core competence.. I realize that means that my obvious core competence (programming) is unused, and that's true, my main role would be to try not to screw it up.. Nobody got rich on technical excellence, it's half the time not even a requirement for success.
Yes sorry, please use betterment's fork. I got busy with other projects since writing delayed_job and had to prioritize.

Did you notice that most of the claims in this article are stated as facts but not explicitly supported by data? There is good reason for that. Advertisers have strong opinions about advertising but outside of the digital marketing space they have few ways to get good feedbacks. They do market studies but it’s very hard to decisively link sells to advertising. It’s something to keep in mind when sizing your advertisement budget.

I think it's a sarcastic comment, saying a "block explorer" is all it takes to trace these and implying that the document is dumb for saying otherwise.

I don't know the details of the case well enough, but this is a usual type of comment on HN, and my a priori assumption would be it's probably oversimplifying reality and ignoring context as is also usual.
I think relying on stout is kinda fine. I do tests with TCL/Expect like that.

I’m not sure to get your point on marriage. If people divorce because they have no other reason to stay together (no survival level risk, children, common missions etc.) how is it “ruined” ?

Seems to me it’s necessity has just waned over time, being single has become a lot more viable in our societies and the system is pretty much working as it’s supposed to.
>Google Glass was never out of beta, was it?

While this is true, the interviewee Anne Machin clarifies that she is referring to the phenomenon of romantic love (Ἔρως).

That said, I find it interesting that there is no mention of the phenomenon of same-sex romance. This exception alone would seem to fly in the face of the notion that romantic love can be conceptually-modeled as a mere epiphenomenon of genetic sovereignty and autonomy. I guess the counter would be that this lies outside the boundaries of ordinary romantic love and therefore should be taxonomically-distinct?

Who knows. These gene-centered theories of evolution require quite a bit of ad hoc rationalization, speculation and routine defiance of folk phenomenology.
Bad developers will write bad code no matter the pattern - styled components has never been a source of issues for us. Why would we move to a new “trend”? I think this is unique to the JS ecosystem.

Hehe, thank you for the comprehensive thinking portrayal. I really like that. I also take the down/upvotes thing seriously. And when I first got the power really didn't want to use it to down people even if they were really mean or I really disagreed. I try to upvote people who add information or a good feeling, but I still rarely downvote. At first I rarely upvoted as well...but now a lot more.

> Just because your city isn’t equipped to deal with an unusually high amount of deaths

Nowhere in the world was equipped to deal with the incredibly high amount of deaths that happened, nor with the incredibly high amount of sick people.

> does not mean that the lockdowns saved more quality adjusted life years than they cost.

Yes, because the death of loved ones, the sickness and long-term effects of COVID, the collapse of healthcare, the sick leaves of work and the self-imposed quarantines would not have had any effect in quality-adjusted life years.

It's incredibly naive to think that life would have continued as usual without lockdowns. I mean, most people were going to go on lockdown regardless. We all knew people getting sick, going to hospitals and not being able to receive care, family members and friends dying... It wasn't fear-mongering, it was a genuinely scary experience. I don't know if you lived in places that suffered the worst of the pandemic or not, but it definitely doesn't sound like it.

> A year of life is worth far more when you’re 20 than when you’re 80.

A month of lockdown is worse than an 80 year old (who otherwise might live some years) suffocating to death alone in a hospital?

I’ve been seriously impressed with Tokamak for Swift. Is this what you mean for browser native GUI?

Sorry, you're right. I'll now reply directly.

I think it depends. If the person in question knows they are guilty of some crime that carries a heavy penalty, then they may decline the rape kit.

If the person in question does not know they are guilty of some crime that carries a heavy penalty, then they likely will not decline a rape kit.

I think people who commit crimes cause damage to society, so I tend to have little sympathy for schemes to let them escape justice, FWIW.

> but overall it's a pretty difficult thing to ban in practice.

That applies to just about everything. We have laws against tax evasion, fraud, murder... but people can (and do) still do these things. Just because a law doesn't or can't physically stop people doing things doesn't mean we shouldn't have the law.

The point is, if it is banned then you will severely constraint the ecosystem. On-off ramps and other intermediators will have to shut down, institutional participants will be forced to withdraw etc etc. Sure no doubt a handful of participants will flaunt the rules and continue to participate, trying to keep the dream alive, but for all practical purposes it'll be dead in the water.
It depends of the context, as usual. It's usually not a problem for me, but sometimes I ask some of my clients that they do something technical on their part so I can continue my mission. Then someone at their IT department says it can't be done, or say it will take <very long time>, cost <lot of money>, etc.

My client arm wrestle with them for a bit, then turn back to me and ask if I can do something anyway. So I charge them to do the task that can't be done, and it doesn't take that much time or money.

But I learned to do that with gloves, and tons of ass licking, because it does make the other party look bad.
I see. I think reading your initial comment I took issue with the hyperbole "crazy control-flow (monadic) magic is happening here".

But yes it is a hidden control flow, and taking in account hidden control flows is inherently more complicated (or at least has a steeper learning curve).
That's not what the parent comment was saying - they're communicating that presuming to know the truth with complete confidence is arrogant, not that actual knowledge of truth (i.e. expertise) is arrogant.
You can transparently slow music without changing the pitch or pitch music without changing the tempo far more than 2%, which was what was done here. This technology has been in use by DJs spinning CDs since the 90s and is also used in music production. Depending on the source material, you can actually double the pitch or tempo with no artifacts.

Ask HN: Why can't we use bug bounties for pharmaceuticals company?
Do you think it could be possible create a bug bounty program for illnesses. For example the WHO offers 10B USD for a medicine that can cure HIV (could be more or less). But once the price has been paid the molecule or the medicine is available to all manufacturers.

I think this could solve issues like having a medicine available only to rich countries.
There hopefully is software that can emulate a very attentive image of yourself. I think if rules get stricter the demand would increase. Perhaps at some point it can even emulate clothing, some facial movements and make yourself clap in longer pauses.
> Had to try Bromite to get it working well, but I'm seriously impressed by how fast this is on mobile (Snapdragon 855).

This is so interesting. I tried on my phone, oneplus 8 pro, snapdragon 865 so a little bit above and on a scale that does 1-10 where 1 is "not even in dreams" and 10 is "more-or-less tolerable" I'd rate it a 2 or 3. There's an ostensible slowness when just selecting text for instance. If for you this is fast I don't think you have any idea of how fast an actually fast computer can be and that makes me super sad for you !
Irritatingly, some windows applications implement their own subpixel rendering. As somebody on a 1440p BGR panel, those applications become extremely obvious to me as the aliasing is exactly backwards to what it should be. One irritating example is the web version of MS Word, as it doesn’t use the browser font rendering and instead implements it’s own (in canvas I think?) - giving all text eye-straining fringes on my display. Google Docs has the good sense to stick to black-and-white anti-aliasing at least.

This kind of work has always made me chuckle, because it's effectively pitting together two "when you have a hammer" kind in of hype against eachother: Deep Learning and Quantum Computing.

If deep learning can solve quantum systems, what do we even need Quantum Computing for?

Due to the way the science startup ecosystem works, neither QC people nor DL for Physics people will even acknowledge that there is a deep contradiction to having both of them be correct.
Reframing your perspective may help you here. In your post, swap out all mentions of "programming" with "building construction", take a step back and try to formulate and advice for a construction builder who turned into management.

Sure enough, there are certainly many differences to be found between construction and programming. But testing the details of the method of comparison is besides the point. The idea is to do it on a high enough level which is good enough to drive a point home:

Both construction and programming happen in a broader context. There are reasons why you write code or lay bricks. e.g. you derive satisfaction from the act of making leds blink in certain patterns, you leverage your expertise to scratch your own itch e.g. build your own RSS reader, or solve a problem other people have which you think is worth your while e.g. you build a teaching platforms for students to get access to learning resources. Or in construction: school buildings, library buildings, campuses and so on.

That last part is key. Nobody is going to use code or build walls they have no need or want for. You don't get paid to erect walls or scaffold controllers. You are paid to cater to someone else's need or want. You could directly go to the consumer as a business owner; or you could do it through someone else's business as an employee.

We tend to look at technology as a separate industry distinct from other industries. But that's not exactly true. SpaceX is an aerospace business, Netflix is a movie rental business, Amazon started out (and arguably still is) a book shop. All the cool technology they have developed is subservient to core business goals which are anything but technological.

> It seems like there must be some way of monetizing this skillset, but I have yet to find it.

Looking at programming as a skillset you want to monetize in it's own right, you will always end up at consulting gigs as a freelancer or employee, doing work for disparate customers, problems, industries, etc.

Far more interesting: What's an interesting problem space I would like to get into, providing solutions, and building out a career, through my programming / management skills?

In my experience, if you find a client/company who truly values your skills and ability to deliver, then as long as your "side projects" are not a legal conflict of interest, nor getting in the way of your ability to deliver for your client, they won't care. Actually, many are interested to hear about the other things I get up to in my spare time.
The REPL was indeed part of my issue, though having tried again in the last couple of days following this post, my impression is much more positive than on my last check (around when v1.5 was new, I think).

No, because “Print to PDF” preserves text (i.e. text is selectable in the resulting .pdf document), so it’s gonna be selectable behind a black square as well.

I only have 5 years of experience as a dev, but I just never was offered a contract where I couldn’t create side projects on my own time and on my own equipment. I never worked for a company that wanted to have IP of everything I did. So these jobs certainly exist.

When I worked in an office, the “own time” and “own equipment” were pretty much the same, I would work at night at home on my side projects.

Now, with remote, the “on my own time” is more blurry. The OP mentions the they can deliver code quickly. I understand that they could fully deliver what their peers, bosses, PMs, company expected in less than 40 hours a week. And that would free them time to work on their project if not for the IP clauses. On a job without that IP clause, I imagine no one will care if they were working on their own project at 3pm if by 2pm they already delivered what is expected for the day.

In my case, I usually work on my own projects in the morning, sometimes I start a little bit late, but I get the job done and all is good.
I should note that you may be required to make a legal declaration about this. Depends on the size of your client/terms of contract.
