You get a lot of writing and analytical reading practice in humanities. Both of which are generally very useful in modern corporations.
There is no provable connection, no. But I do find it a coincidence that age verification is being pursued now rather than years ago, just months after the government started pressing for social media to be able to identify users so they can be sued for defamation, bullying etc. Social media may already know who many users are, but they obviously can't prove it to the satisfaction of the courts or with enough reliability or this would not have become an issue.

It frustrates my partner to no end. I always ask for a discount. Worst case you end up paying the amount you expect, best case you open up a window to negotiations of a discount. It never hurts to ask.
This submission is about getting a discount when you otherwise wouldn't have. If you can afford to pay in full. You have the money to pay.
We've had local business owners come in before that have tried to haggle with us. Even had one specifically point out repeatedly that he ran a business so he knew how it worked. Wouldn't take no for an answer.

It frustrates me to no end when someone doesn't understand the word "no".

True, modern C++ is usually quite a lot more compact than older styles, and than C and might-as-well-be-C.
Respectfully, no. I had Covid-19 in March 2020 and had long covid and... "just suck it up and push through" is basically the worst possible advice. Saying it causes fatigue just doesn't describe how utterly disabling it can be. I would get tired walking from my bedroom to the kitchen and I live in a small apartment. When I would push through, I'd be bedridden for days after. Seriously! We're talking too exhausted to have Netflix on in the background, not even watching it. I'm sure it's not psychosomatic because this was all new at the time, and I was far too exhausted for months after to even just surf the Internet.

The most disabling part of the illness was learning that I can't just "push through" without paying for it for days afterwards. For months after, a single beer and a big meal would lay me out. You don't usually think of digesting food as strenuous, but in my weakened state, I'd start seeing stars and almost black out.

Now, it would be easy to dismiss me, blame me for not being healthier, but when young athletes who are fit have having these symptoms, and doctors (with better access to healthcare then I) are recording their own symptoms as scientists, it's not made up.

The worst part of having long covid is people (including doctors!) who don't believe long covid is real. Thankfully for long covid, there are biomarkers that can be tested for now so unbelievers don't have to take it on faith. After the medical gaslighting I've experienced, I really feel for people that suffer from fibromyalgia or other mysterious un-seeable maladies that there are not tests for.
I love the idea of this.

As a potential user, I'm disliking how many clicks it takes to find even an approximate price. Prices should be easiest to find.
We also strictly stick to SI however we usually say kilograms in var names to be clear.

Haven't come across temperature however we would probably stick with kelvin.

We use a strict set of units in databases and while processing, conversions are localized if necessary only at the view layer.

We also only use UTC for date/times.

We only use E164 format (without spaces etc) for phone numbers: e.g. +12345678901 for an example number in OH, US. see National format https://libphonenumber.appspot.com/phonenumberparser?number=...

We only use iso3166-1 country codes and iso3166-2 region codes and translate on view.

Note that the wonderful Go type system interprets time.Second * time.Second as 277777h46m40s with the type time.Second (not sec^2)
In thermodynamic calculations you likely need absolute (Kelvin) values. But in many calculations where only temperature difference is used, either unit works equally well.
It doesn't actually use units. Everything is in nanoseconds, so time.Second is just another unitless number.

const (
Nanosecond Duration = 1
Microsecond = 1000 * Nanosecond
Millisecond = 1000 * Microsecond
Second = 1000 * Millisecond
Minute = 60 * Second
Hour = 60 * Minute
)
The article addresses this somewhat using Python's type hints. If I give you his signature, can you intuitively tell me what unit is being taken in by the function?

void addPadding(int height) {

}

Types are useful, and even as a Python programmer I gravitate towards type hints for all new code, but any application where a programmatic type maps to a real-world type with common conversions (like, say, pixels, em, en, millimetres, centimetres, or inches in the above example) tends to be a victim of the same issue, where the type system isn't expressive enough to clearly describe the real-world type being assumed by the function.
> Why is it so damn uncommon to ask for a price before seeing the doctor?

The main reason is that, often, the doctor is choosing the specific procedures after you show up, not before. There's not a price for "stomache ache".

For the elective procedures where it is known what is involved up-front, there is some price shopping that does happen.

That's exactly the problem of each iteration on Windows. New overlay on top of the old one that always misses the one thing you need, and you either get lucky and find the right menu right away to get to the old screen that gives you what you want, or you get into hell.

The new network screens are notoriously bad, and it always takes me 5 minutes to find how the hell to get to the adapters screen again.
I should consider it. I have EDS, which disproportionally affects women for hormonal reasons. T might help me build muscle to compensate for my elastic connective tissue. but I remember feeling like I'd been poisoned when I had to go off hormones for a while and felt T come back. couldn't hurt to try though.
Can you keep an htop running by chance? It would be very helpful to see if CPU is maxxing out when the hitches happen, or if the swap file is growing, etc.

Any time it happens to me, it's usually low resources because of something. Most often some chrome tab (or 3) that are going crazy. I also discovered that one of the apps that I thought was using hardware acceleration actually wasn't. The CPU usage made it pretty clear that the CPU was doing a ton of work.
By the way, another article from the same author came out today where he mentions the same thing: https://eclecticlight.co/2022/03/20/last-week-on-my-mac-is-l...

So I'm not the only one who sees a connection here :)
It communicates my intent to the reviewer and future readers of the code that: 1) I mean to set the duration to 5 minutes, which is easier parsed by humans than 300 seconds. 2) I'm passing seconds into time.sleep, which makes any mistakes I make more obvious.

I'm not saying time.sleep can't be improved but my method makes it easier to find any mistakes I've made in the future.

As a demonstration, reading your code makes it more obvious that you've passed the wrong unit into time.sleep.
Worth mentioning Frink.

> Frink is a practical calculating tool and programming language designed to make physical calculations simple, to help ensure that answers come out right, and to make a tool that's really useful in the real world. It tracks units of measure (feet, meters, kilograms, watts, etc.) through all calculations..

Would be interestng to know how many non-enterprise Windows users have ever made a direct payment to Microsoft. For that segment, the company suffers from the same problem as "tech" companies. The non-enterprise Windows user is not the customer.

Identitities and personal information are a Microsoft product. Some of that personal data is acquired through Windows or other software and some is acquired through acquisitions of "tech" companies such as LinkedIn.
> Judge the content for yourself.

IMHO the onus to establish an assertion (as a general term) is on the person making it:

1. Imagine I post an assertion, 'the moon is made of blue cheese', and it's read by 20 people. Should all 20 do the research themselves? That's much less efficient than my doing it - I already know where I got it, it's my claim, and it's 1/20th the labor.

2. Think of all the assertions you read: Do you have time to research them all?

3. The Internet is filled with information, mostly BS. I don't have time for even a fraction of the accurate info. If we had 1% of the info, but it was backed by credible research, it would be no loss in info (nobody can process even 1%) and great gain.

Finally, people can't judge content it unless they have expertise in the domain. There is plenty of research showing that to be true - that fact is fundamental to misinformation and disinformation, even something as simple as paid Amazon reviews - and it's easy to observe. Think of something in which you have expertise, like your profession: Could you persuade a non-expert? I could persuade one of almost anything, it seems; they just have no idea what are the questions, the facts (beyond a very limited range), or the answers.
>- don't choose lazy pluralization - eg instead of `names/name`, use `nameList/nameItem`

Isn't this just extra noise? If the type of the variable is an Array wouldn't `nameArray` be superfluous? Worse still is if the type changes but the name stays the same.

I get the advice is probably Javascript specific, but even in a Typescript world it doesn't make much sense to me to do this kind of type-in-name encoding.
good luck getting your hardware after it was confiscated, too.
> It sounds absurd to you, but isn't that your own ignorance?

Or my experience.

Of course, perhaps schools in poor areas really are pushing the children hard to go to extraordinary heights and it’s just the fault of poor people for being so damned useless that they ignore it or fail.

Or, perhaps, there’s a middle ground to be found, but I doubt it includes people who no one would describe as bright being unaware of the scores they need to enter the next stage of education, if that’s what they desire.
This is not exactly the same thing, but for the love of god, if you have a monitoring or logging product, make the date and time zone visible wherever time is displayed. I cannot tell you how many times I've been sent screenshots of graphs, showing some catastrophic scenario at, say, 08:43, with no idea of what time zone the graphs are using, or what day the graph is showing.
Dunno - I never watched community but I can't remember where I picked it up. Might be a commonwealth thing.

Those are only unmetered at small scale, if you start to use a lot of their bandwidth they will start charging you for it. Of course a single instance wont be enough to offset all the other users who don't use their bandwidth so it wont be an issue for them, but lets say you buy a thousand instances and use all bandwidth possible, then they will change the terms very quickly.

If you want to know what someone really values, ignore what they say and look instead at what they actually do.
My kid just graduated high school last year.

She would tell me stories about how impressed her peers were with seeing her do something as basic as copy and paste, and navigating files + folders.

There is a generation of kids that have only ever grown up on tablets + the web, so; the desktop + office app market + ecosystem is ripe for disruption.

Maybe it's done right this time, and not married to a single browser version(ha) or platform runtime.
You misread: given common knowledge that Alice and Bob are equally promising, all info considered, do you make them different offers?

I'm not at all asking whether Alice with a degree gets better offers than Alice without a degree. We both say she does. At the time we're checking in, Alice's degree is a sunk cost. Your proposal is not: it's extra company investment in the non-degreed after hiring.

> can't even find the politics

Are you sure you want to emphasize anyone's reading ability in this conversation?

And accusing someone of political axe-grinding is a funny way to discourage replies about politics. You could've said, for instance, "Leaving aside any politics here..." That would help engender healthier discourse here on HN.
Units in values > units in names.

And to be clear - if it was a purely government funded thing there would be strong price controls around it (the same reason why doctors pushed back against the original compulsory medical insurance plans in the 30s, and why there's so much back and forth around medicare covering stuff or not, doctors accepting it or not, etc). But by underwriting debt this way we have an agency problem; the government isn't incentivized to say "no" to bad debt, and students aren't informed enough (just the opposite, as you mention, the discourse is irrational. I don't agree with 'underdeveloped brains', so much as no cultural pressure or life experience to 'count the cost').
This is actually an issue with thermal imaging cameras. Typically you'll get calibrated readings back in Kelvin, not in Celsius. Usually it's well documented by the camera manufacturer, but if you're providing an API to users you need to make them aware what the units are and make a decision on what you're going to return. For example this crops up if the sensor only provides counts which you need to convert into a temperature.

From a hardware perspective it makes sense to use K because you can encode the image directly using unsigned numbers plus some gain to allow for fractional measurements.
That misguided notion of product features and integration, where the user has minimum role, started out at Apple. The standard pattern used to be talking to OEMs and discussing what users wanted from them. That review phase generated update ideas for next release and so on. Apple turned that question on its head and made it "the one last thing" show business.

We have employed a generation of PMs now who idolize Steve Jobs' mantra: "Users dont know what they want until you show it to them".

EDIT: We does not mean I am employed by Apple. It signifies the general trend for companies to enable product development by PMs
You’re still doing the negotiation, they just tell you what to say and what to ask for - advice unique to your situation.
/me removes foot from mouth

I see what you mean now, I screwed up reading your first comment.
The vast majority of the education of doctors, lawyers, engineers, and other professionals is teaching them how to think. Hard skills are covered of course but it is well understood (and clearly presented) that they are perishable. This is why these professions tend to have a focus on, and in some cases requirement for, continuing education throughout the career.
I remember as a kid, my Physics teacher used to penalize us for not writing the unit in the calculations. It seemed absurdly archaic at that time, but it makes so much sense now.
It was hearsay, they didn’t need to lie about it to still be untrue and absurd.
That sounds like a case for Kelvin. I still don't see why Celsius is the one exception that isn't SI.

It also only makes sense to haggle when the other person has the authority to change the price. Retail salespeople sometimes makes a commission on sales but have no say in the price.
I don't like doing so. I don't want to have to be fake-friendly with people just to get the 'best' price on something, and leave feeling like I could probably have paid less if I'd just negotiated harder.

It's too much mental effort and I don't find there's any mental reward to the process. It doesn't feel like I got "a deal" it feels like the business or individual I negotiated with is probably trying to rip me off, and probably succeeded.

I'll get the best price by businesses competing with each other for my custom. Or I won't. Either way 'haggling' is alien to me and I prefer the world to be more straightforward.
In Python you can force the use of a parameter’s name with *

def my_sleep(*, seconds: int):
pass

my_sleep(seconds=3)

This will force those who use your function to use the parameter name. A sort of documentation I suppose.

> "The more important point here is that believing techie parents have secret insider knowledge about the harmful effects of children’s technology usage reinforces the dangerous myth that techies are always the smartest people in the room — and that the more technical they are, the more wide-ranging their expertise."

This is a strawman argument. The point is that the people closest to the genesis, application, development, and conversations around tech, are in a particularly unique position to understand its effects (the very effects that were designed to happen). It's not that we think developers are superhuman and have secret knowledge. It's that the ones in question have designed platforms to specifically addict its users, and if these same people are not allowing their kids to use the technology, that speaks volumes.
Absolutely, although something that really grinds my gears is that there's sometimes this weird Orwellian lie that they really start to believe, that they actually are doing it "for the user." There's something deeply disturbing about mass group delusion.
Why would they sign one?

A gag-order does not seem super likely, but more-so than an NDA.
A local computer store here has a well known policy: If you ask for a better price, they'll come back with an offering 20% above list price. If you question it, it'll go up again.

Honestly I don't mind this. If a video card costs $100 and you're selling at $110 and someone says "I'll give you $50" and makes you devote an hour to the sale, they aren't worth it.
It seems SAT merely reflects current academic skills. If they developed to that point due to privilege, the test isn't responsible for highlighting it. If college goal is to give limited space to most skilled students then it's an effective method to do that.. isn't it?
This seems like a no go for anything where the dataset used for training includes any private data at all, or even public images that have been privately labeled by the company. It makes sense for hobbyists, but I doubt this entire platform was created for only hobbyist use in mind.

They say they intend to implement encrypted hosting environments in the future, but considering the number of security exploits that Intel SGX and its equivalents have had, I'm not sure I'd trust that either.
None of our problems are technical. They are the direct consequence of the political state of affairs.

A few ideas for more productive organizational structure:

* Temporarily merge the two teams, so the members share the exact same leadership chain.

* Define clearer contracts between parties for what needs to get done, in what order of priority. Find the volunteers who can help ensure fewer important task dependencies aren't skipped.

* Narrow the participant pool.

No situation will make everyone happy, but some organizational rigor would allow for higher productivity.

It's like being in an abusive relationship.

Indeed, another way it's like an abusive relationship is people's reluctance to leave despite all they've experienced.

I hear all the horror stories and then say "I've been using for ten years and it works well" and I get "oh, but I don't want to have to fiddle with things" (after discussions of how hard Windows is to get to do things).

Linux has glitches but Microsoft manipulates people. Maybe people stay because they think that because Windows hurts them, it cares.
Because a big part of the search engine algorithm is recommending things based on how long others spent time there, what other sites they clicked on, etc. There's obv way less data on that for internal search engines.
I'm on the same page. But, the hospital doesn't choose their collections strategy just because of one person. They can't see inside your bank account. Most people who can pay, pay. Most people who can't, can't. If they started suing people who couldn't pay, they'd lose money overall, so they don't.
Certainly, but for that the type system should be rich enough to support unit designators.

I know how to implement that in Haskell, and that it can be implemented in C++ and Rust. I know how to logically implement that in Java or Typescript, but usability will suck (no infix operators).
Yeah. Newpipe is admirable but in practice the UX is almost sad in comparison to the real thing. Maybe in the future it will be better.
