I agree that viagra/cialis are generally safe for the majority of people. I guess the question with regard to the subscription prescription model is what are the subset of medications that fall into the right risk profile for the model to work effectively? It's a pretty small subset without adequate safeguards!

If everything is contingent on a final exam you find a lot of folks fail. You need the continuous feedback. That doesn't mean you have to grade assignments, but rather provide that feedback..
I think the majority of developers simply don't know whether they would like Lisp or not. It's just not that well known.

Mainly, Lisp was developed on institutional hardware in the era of big iron. It became larger and more complicated, keeping up pace with the capabilities of those machines, which Lisp could easily strain.

Suddenly, microcomputers showed up in the 1970's. The industrial strength Lisps just wouldn't go down from hundreds of kilobytes or megabytes of RAM required down to two-digit kilobytes.

The situation didn't start to improve until probably the late 1980's.

Some developers used Lisp for prototyping, and had the expensive hardware; then to create a product to ship to users on consumer hardware, they rewrote the prototype. That story was exemplified by the CLIPS expert system.

An entire generation of programmers who started on microcomputers in the 1970's and 1980's wouldn't have even had opportunities to use Lisp.

When I started programming in 1982 or so, I inherited a stack of Creative Computing magazine back issues, so I read about all sorts of interesting stuff, including Lisp; but I wouldn't have been able to get my hands on it anywhere: and not for the lack of knowing about it or wanting.

Microcomputers steam-rolled a vast amount of software that preceded them. Software that didn't make the jump from big iron to microcomputers either died or was relegated to niches. Fortran, Cobol, operating systems like Multics, you name it.

We use Unix-like systems today because Unix started on minicomputers that were close in capability to microcomputers. There was only a small lag time between Unix being "bigger iron only" to running on microcomputers. It used pretty modest resources; e.g in 1980, /vmunix was maybe 50-something kilobytes. But even that was a little bit large, and the microcomputer jump did hurt Unix; it allowed disk operating systems like CP/M, PC-DOS and MS-DOS to gain a foothold. Unix never quite recovered; we now have free versions that are quite popular, but mostly in serving and embedded.

Speaking of Unix, I read a book on using Unix in the mid 1980's. As a kid. I had nowhere to actually access it for hands-on experience, but was exciting to read about. You had to be a university student, or else a grown-up working at some company or institution. (Or else, dial into something and break in.)

Anyways, the time lag between the start of the microcomputer revolution, and Lisp being able to run well like on 1970 big iron, was quite long! Long enough to see people retire. There is nobody out there to do mentoring. If millions of programmers started to be interested in Lisp, there would be nobody available for mentoring. Everyone would have to use just books and such. You can hardly find a course to take or anything like that. Some universities use some Lisp or Scheme dialect in a few courses, and that's about it.

Even if every great Lisp hacker who ever lived was still alive and interested in mentoring, it wouldn't be enough; there simply weren't that many people in computing 30, 40, 50 years ago.
So I haven't played Clash of Clans but know Clash Royale exceptionally well (with a some dedicated training could probably shoot for global 10k league finish)

So speaking from experience: there's probably a finite sum you can spend on Clash Royale. I found the beginning highly addictive and I did spend hundreds when I probably shouldn't have, but the acceleration/frustration and advantage you can buy is very quickly eroded by skill. Once you have a maxed deck, it's pretty hard to buy victories and any new card might buy you some wins but will quickly get nerfed, and players better than you will still beat you (and matchmaking will converge you onto that 49% win rate).

I doubt I'm a typical player but at this stage I've probably extracted more value (by time) from clash than they've extracted from me - even if I spent 2k (a very very generous estimate), amortised over 5-6 years of play, that's not a lot of money (30 a month which is a AAA game every other month, less than a coffee a day) and has definitely given me more than that in enjoyment. And at this point my expenditure has completely plateaued.

Can I see people staying in that honeymoon phase moving from game to game? Yes maybe - I suppose by law of large numbers it's more likely than not Clash Royale peaked at like 100M players so 1k having issues is believable.

I'm all for regulation in this space (it's pretty crazy that it's not that regulated) but without data, my own personal experience feels like this is not nearly as dangerous as gambling or alcohol/drugs. The game milks you of money but doesn't create those boom-bust cycles that the traditional vices do

> which makes a sort of sense, given imperfect information and how risk is allocated

This doesn't just make a sort of sense to me, it makes perfect sense.

People trade their labor at a lower rate for higher stability (less risk). The people who start companies, find capital, and distribute that capital in ways that increase the value of the company have taken on more risk (how significant varies case-by-case and usually is a natural market cap ceiling to the total value the owners can extract ahead of employees).

If the company I work at gives me shares in that company, I want the company to pay less for my labor (and everyone's) if my belief is that collectively all employees output will accelerate my own wealth creation when I sell my shares in the company. The share becomes a transitive store of value I believe my own labor alone will never be able to keep up with, and I want to make sure the value it's accumulating is not diminished because the company is paying out the full capital value of everyone's labor. Then there would be very little incentive for me to take the shares in the first place, and, honestly, very little incentive for anyone to start a company (why take on that risk if there's no payout in excess of just joining another company?).

Local-ish courthouse for me only has a contact info for regular business hours. So if not in business hours, then what? There's ~3200 counties (or equivalent) in the US. There's no way to be on a first name basis with the clerks of each county courthouse, let alone if you have a big county with multiple different types of courts.

As for how you validate court orders now? You largely don't. That's why it's possible to use fake court orders to take down true but unpleasant information: https://www.cnet.com/news/privacy/forged-court-papers-are-be...

I think Stellaris can be a somewhat mind expanding game. There are others like it with better or more developed mechanics but it's a good introduction.

There is this other game I never see mentioned. It's kind of annoying, the latest release is not on steam. It's called capitalism lab. Pretty fun economy simulation game. The thing that sets it apart is they try to go for some amount of realism. I suspect a few months playing this game would amount to a better understanding of how businesses work than an MBA.

It's even worse than that: merely calling a war a war can land you in jail:

"When to Insert <style> on The Client" in https://github.com/reactwg/react-18/discussions/110 describes some of the issues. Does this help?
I think a lot of the negative reaction to this article comes from the title, which does sound condescending and at least a little odd. Here are some alternative titles that might not get clicks but also won't prompt a visceral reaction:

- On Work

- Some Thoughts on Work

- Thoughts on Collaboration (then take yourself out of it)

Another idea, just expand one of the points into its own document. I found the part on async communication especially interesting because in some ways it goes against a lot of conventional wisdom. Some anecdotes, details, or sociological research on the topic would make a pretty helpful document.

The content is different in spirit from the implication of the title, IMO. A document with this title is an unusual way to begin a collaboration or working relationship. On the other hand, I can see how it would be useful to know what's inside the document.

And it takes guts to write something like this, knowing that everyone who reads it and knows you will be comparing their own mental notes on how you actually work with how you say you work and view yourself.
Nice! I was already pretty excited about you guys, and this only fuels up more excitement since I always been a GraphQL lover.

That's like saying "standing still" isn't a human-level sprinter's task. In principle, yes, nothing in the 100m sprint requires that you need to be able to stand still. In practice, I would be very skeptical of someone who can't stand claiming they can sprint.
Usually you can do this by mocking that specific library out at the module level. E.g. Jest has functionality for this.
Ask HN: Small business friendly mobile framework?
On the web side, I have found Django/Rails/Laravel allow one to get a functional (monolithic) web app up with minimal effort. Avoiding js/spa complexities is part of that (htmx, turbolinks, unpoly).

No. The fsin instruction is inaccurate enough to be useless. It gives 0 correct digits when the output is close to 0.

This is good advice for anyone that isn't aware. Airing your grievances (or even constructive feedback) doesn't help you or your company (if you or they cared, it would not be left to the exit interview).

It's not like you can use SemVer on a browser. Too many changes would make it hard to decide whether things are breaking or not. And due to backwards compatibility, it's possible that we'd actually be on 3.100.0 or whatever. It's a lot easier to just bump the major every 6 weeks with releases.

Is it the best idea? Probably not, but it's something simple that works and is consistent.
Yeah, just like they won't reverse cash transaction. Pay someone on street for something, they take the money and don't give you what you wanted. Go to police, and they won't get your original cash back...
I've never once had hysteresis be a problem with induction - especially any more or less than with gas or traditional radiant electric.

If you like to cook invest in good cookware. The biggest problem with induction is cheap cookware with "disks" on the bottom. Having as much ferrous magnetic metal as possible is the real key to success with induction - and why your cast iron performs so well!

I love All Clad - triple ply stainless steel sandwich of either aluminum or (if you are feeling really extravagant) copper. Far easier to maintain than cast iron (although I love my cast iron too - can't get fried chicken just right in anything else). Cookware and More is the official All Clad factory seconds (usual some dent or other cosmetic flaw) outlet with great prices and if you get on their mailing list they have an annual sale where they take even more off. I've gotten All Clad skillets for well under $200 and they will be something I can pass on. Good cookware never dies. Took several years to get the pieces I wanted but I did it without breaking the bank.

If All Clad, even factory seconds, are still too pricy - I'm not paying $500 for a stockpot no matter how wonderful it may be - then Made In has very nice pieces competitively priced. Got my stock pot from them for under $200.

Finally Tramontina has great induction ready clad cookware pieces and can be found at regular big box stores like Costco or even Walmart. Not quite as heavy/well constructed as All Clad or Made In, but still leaps and bounds better than anything with a disk.

Good, better, best - just reject anything with a damn disk welded onto the bottom of it and you will find induction a LOT more enjoyable. As good as your cast iron :)

Fine control comes with higher end units that have more settings. Didn't pay attention to that at my last house and got a cooktop with only 11 choices. My mothers induction range has double that and it's amazing what a difference makes, especially at the lower end - as you note. Getting a new house next month and won't be making that mistake again! Something with a at least 18-20 steps from low to high will be mandatory for me. 11 just isn't enough.
The condolences are appreciated ... :-)

Zoom's ugly as hell, but the Linux client has long been fairly reliable. Teams meanwhile is plagued by issues that don't seem to affect some other Electron-based apps or Chromium. During meetings it'll start out fine, then a minute in it'll suddenly use microphone. Opening any settings views tends to knock audio out of working state, too. Their official forums are full of threads on this, and support people suggesting crazy mitigations such as running it as root (admin user).

>That said, every major non-Windows platform in its default install configuration is inherently more secure than a Windows system that has had all of its known default security issues addressed, even those beyond what Windows Defender provides.

Highly disputed.

>Windows is not simply a more attractive target for malware authors because it is a more popular platform with a larger install base, it is a more popular target because it is inherently insecure and we know it is inherently insecure because it would be foolish for anyone to run Windows and access the WWW without first addressing its security issues.

Do you have any specifics about any of this? It really just sounds like Slashdot talking points from the Windows XP era.
From the Loup Partners report (https://loupfunds.com/apples-been-preparing-for-the-new-worl...) but not mentioned in the axios article:

It would be remarkable if it got the right answers.

But it can't because it doesn't have the right structure (e.g. GPT-3 finishes in a finite time, a program in a real programming doesn't necessarily!)

GPT-3's greatest accomplishment is that it has "neurotypical privilege", that is if it gets an answer that is 25% or 95% correct people give it credit for the whole thing. People see a spark of intelligence in it the way that people see faces in leaf axels or in martian rock formations or how G.W. Bush looked in Vladimir Putin's eyes and said he got a sense of Putin's soul. (That was about the only thing in his presidency that he later said he regretted!)

As an awkward person I am envious because sometimes it seems I get an answer 98% correct or 99.8% correct and get no credit at all.

And that is perhaps the point. I believe that the intention is that you should not stress about it as long as they are doing fine. And that you should not pass that stress to the child either. The grade is only there to warn you if there is a problem. To get feedback about the areas of performance, you should talk directly to the teacher and receive more than just 3 bits of information.

Even with a much more granular grading system, as long as the grades are assigned based on task completion (correctly solving all the exercises in a test) instead of ranking, you will still have a inability to distinguish anything above top grade.

If you move to a ranking system, where grades are assigned by comparison to peers, you run into issues of fairness, because resource availability inevitably plays a role.
Under the code is law philosophy, if the there was a bug in the contract someone exploited that should be fair play.

However hacking into your systems and stealing your keys is still theft. Same as using a $5 wrench to get your private key.
