I think this sort of thing comes as a surprise to more left leaning people who still hold on to the 1960s stereotype that they have a monopoly on all the cool and interesting things.
In similar conditions, like Capture the Flag competitions, we regularly used short-term arrangements that might seem like mob programming, often by just deciding to go to whiteboard and try to figure out the problem and thus implicitly inviting others to join if they have spare cycles.

Wildly different experience compared to mob/pair programming all the time.
Maybe, but one of the issues Putin faces is that his subordinates are apparently afraid to tell him the truth if it strays from the party line.

> (...) but I don't get how this is related to what you quoted or any other part of GP's comment.

If you read about the topic you'll soon discover that Meta/Facebook has been systematically imposing demands for preferential treatment, including demanding circumventing laws to allow agricultural land, some of which they don't even own, to instead be used to build high-density industrial buildings.

This, in a country where Amazon and Microsoft already operate their own data centers. In fact, Facebook rejected the location already used by Amazon and Microsoft, and instead decided to force their way somewhere else.

It's also worth mentioning some of the apparent corruption aspects of Facebook's deal, abusing preferential rights of the municipality to exclude competing bids.

It is possible, the condition is a bit poorly named. The video of the talk by Russell Barkley that is linked elsewhere is a good primer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSfCdBBqNXY). People with ADHD can have episodes of hyper focus. However this is a bit a misnomer, it's called Perseveration and is not really a good thing, and has more to do with one's inability to task switch (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perseveration). However it also allows you to completely zone into a code base or a problem. The problem is you don't really have much control over what will catch your attention. But of course you can develop quite some deep technical expertise this way.

Now, that said, there is a new movie, Everything Everywhere All At Once, and if you take this title as a stand in for ADHD, maybe you can see that while this way of living can be overwhelming it also allows you to have a pretty good overview over systems and how their components interacts very fast. I think that's what many ADHD'ers are actually very good at, grokking code bases or the gist of things very quickly. Systems thinking in general. Also quick recall / association chains...

Also, on average, the higher your IQ, the later in your life your ADHD diagnosis will be (see this video on adult ADHD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVDhYtQkuO8). Your other abilities can compensate somewhat for your ADHD. Also of course when battling this condition you will build many personal tools and habits that neuro-typical people will never have to do, so in that sense you also might have a leg up in certain situations.

I'd say professionally the biggest problem is not so much on a technical level, but more on an emotional / impulse control level. ADHD'ers can come off as brash, speaking their mind freely, not being able to just put that comment in when it's better to shut up.
This is not about correctness but about ergonomics and clarity.

Consider the 'standard' definition of the complex numbers, whilst we know there are more intuitive options.

Consider tau vs pi. And how hard it is for anyone to write mathematics based on tau.

Consider the rather lacking notation for probability with conditionals.
There are - and without going into too much detail about the art of lexicography (of which I'm not an expert) natural languages tend to be handled descriptively (e.g. Esperanto not being a natural language is exempt from this, French being one of a few natural languages that are notable exceptions, as they have an institute that does prescribe the language - I believe for France French it's the Institut français - in an attempt to fight the influences of English on the language. I believe that French-speaking Canada has a separate institute too)

[edit: this information might be out of date - looks like there isn't a central forum for this in French any more, however forums do spring up periodically]

But yes, English is - these days - predominantly handled within a descriptive framework, and dictionaries such as Miriam Webster [1] and Oxford English Dictionary [2] point out that they only exist to describe usage.

There may be an argument to be made about definitions within scientific fields; but without the dictates of a cohesive authority, it's very hard to claim this as truly prescriptive. It is up to groups of expert practitioners to come to consensus on the definitions. And you can argue whether that is the very definition of prescriptive (because they prescribe the word's usage on the rest of the world) or descriptive (because they as the predominant users of those words are describing the academic usage of the words)

But I have yet to see an English dictionary that claims to be fully prescriptive. If it did, it would have dubious authority to do so. Similarly, I feel like we're so many miles away from a consensus on the Computer Science definition of "an Abstration" that my original point stands.

Quoting from the study: «The consumption of plastic particles, commonly termed microplastics (MPs; 0.1–5000 µm in size) and nanoplastics (NPs; < 0.1 µm in size) can occur either directly through the food chain or indirectly via the ingestion of inhaled and regurgitated particles (Wright and Kelly 2017). According to a study by the Marine Biology and Ecology Research Centre (MBERC) in England, the plastic load released from clothes made of synthetic fibers (polyester, polyester-cotton and acrylic) amounts to over 700,000 large MP fibers per machine wash (per 6 kg load) (Napper and Thompson 2016) that end up in waste water. Tons of plastic particles reach their final destination in the sea to enter the food chain through ingestion by marine life (Cho et al. 2019; Van Cauwenberghe and Janssen 2014), through sea salt (Karami et al. 2017; Kosuth et al. 2018; Yang et al. 2015) and/or drinking water (Mason et al. 2018; Schymanski et al. 2018) to further reincarnate on our dining tables. Recent studies have also indicated the presence of MPs in some terrestrial food items, such as edible fruit and vegetables and store-bought rice, but further research is needed to replicate these findings (Dessì et al. 2021; Oliveri Conti et al. 2020). Translated into more imaginable numbers, on average we ingest five grams of MPs per week per person (roughly corresponding to the mass of a credit card) depending on the region in which we live, our lifestyle, and diet (Senathirajah and Palanisami 2021).»

It goes on, quoting a study of this and a study of that, adding up what we eat, drink and breathe and converting to weight: 5g/week.

It's not invariant though. The title of one of the studies quoted is «Low levels of microplastics (MP) in wild mussels indicate that MP ingestion by humans is minimal compared to exposure via household fibres fallout during a meal». Good news for those of us who don't wear hoodies made with 50% plastic.

The plastic bottle 40k/90k thing will also be because of fallout. Pour water into a plastic bottle, squeeze and shake it a bit, let it stand, do it again, a few particles will be released into the water.
that would be reasonable but there still can be important news on weekend and it takes literally seconds to skim through headlines
Even if I give you your denial, Justin Trudeau's administration did at the very least threaten to do it. If you were living with someone who threatened financial abuse against you, would you not be seriously concerned about them being financially abusive?

But that's more rhetorical. I don't care that much what you think cause I know you'd be downplaying it if it did happen. And whenever it does happen (again?), you'll be out there denying it, carrying water with all the others for the establishment's ability to overreach, shielding them from consequences and making it more likely to happen in the future. You'll do it until such time as it happens to you, and then you'll be confused, and possibly sorry.

If you're claiming that a government is abusing its power because it froze some funds, and it turns out it was done according to law, then the accusation is unsubstantiated. Maybe it was abusing its power, but we haven't been shown any evidence. And the burden of proof is on you to show that it was an abuse of power.

I think Churchill had a way with words:

‘Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.…’
"The fact that the regular replacement of leaders has turned out to be democracy’s strongest feature underscores"

That also assumes power is concentrated in the Leader as much as it is in Russia/China. In the West the President/PM is more of a face than the person with the final say.

If we look at US Policy, the policies that effect the common man, hasn't changed much between Republican/Democrat leadership - especially contentious policies - Erosion of wealth of the lower/middle class, Regime change/Expeditions in Middle East, Reduction of civil liberties/press freedoms/internet.

I'd guess that previous machine-specific BLAS used assembly. The fundamental feature of the GotoBLAS approach is the blocking structure; that can provide >80% of the performance of hand-tuned assembly/intrinsics-based kernels with plain C in BLIS with vectorizing compilers. Not to minimize Goto's work, but I wonder if van de Geijn, who I think was Goto's supervisor, deserves more credit than he gets.

> Senathirajah and Palanisami

here's a quote from their abstract:

As such, there is confidence that based on the literature reviewed and subsequent analysis performed that up to 5 g/week of microplastic particles is potentially ingested by humans. Having said that, it should be stressed that the amount of the microplastics ingested by an individual will depend on a combination of parameters that is highly variable not only pertaining to the characteristics of the microplastics but also to each’s age, size, geographic location, demographics of the location, nature of development and life-style options.

This study is being reviewed for publication; the full methodology and supplementary data will be available upon acceptance.

Do you see those weasel words "UP TO" in there?

There abstract also says:

A critical research of the available literature and subsequent unit normalized calculation of the amounts of microplastics ingested by humans through various exposure pathways suggest that on average, humans may be ingesting as much as 5 g/week of microplastics.

So they are being a bit contradictory.

I am wondering if somebody has conflated the maximum potential, as the average?

Yes. I get paid on my account like everybody else in this country and then I can immediately use it at any merchant in the country by using a credit card. No need to run to ATMs (where are they even and if it is not my banks I get charged extra), no need to figure out change etc.

I don't even carry a wallet anymore because I can just pay with my phone, so no need for a physical card.

I don't even understand the question.

If you found that your next door neighbor was sneaking into your house while you're away, and he said "oh I have an option not to do that. Just ask me not to any more." Would that be good enough? You say "ok I would like to invoke that option" and that's it, you happily go away on a month long vacation without installing any cameras or anything because they guy said he won't do that now.

That's a single package, whose setting affects no other apps, and you have to trust that the app even really does what it says, which makes no sense when the topic is apps that may be doing unwanted things behind your back.
Bit of a confused piece. First it sounds like hes arguing for democracy or is it about a renaissance of western imperialism? Then it turns out to be about term limits. Then he turns around and praises Lee Kuan Yew.

I thought it was over already. It's funny cause it was a fad in early 2000s when photoshop added procedural filters (shadows, inset, etc) so people used near the same ideas.

This may work for simple tasks and mid level work. For complex and exploratory work I hate it.

I've been programming at various levels of abstractions and different stacks for 20 years. I often have very good intuition on diagnosing and solving technical problems. It's very hard to verbalize this, especially to people without the same background, it's intuition built on hours and nights of pain and debugging/googling/prototyping and I often need to search and REPL/prototype things to know I'm going in the right direction.

So I waste time dragging the other person along my mental path, and when I go into a wrong direction the cost is also increased by having to explain what I'm doing + the other person usually being annoyed at being dragged along for something they barely understood and it ends up being for nothing.

Android GPS API is quite a bit more low-level than in iOS. You can get data about visible satellites where as (to my understanding) in iOS you can't.
Self documenting code means carefully choosing names and structuring the code in a way that there is reduced ambiguity and maximum clarity instead of compensating for low quality code with additional documentation.

If your code is sufficiently clear there will be nothing left to say in the comments, the comments will have to repeat what the code is already telling you which significantly diminishes the value of comments.

>You don't write README.md

I don't think people are talking about self promoting projects or self documenting projects.

>ARCHITECTURE.md

or self documenting architecture.

>JavaDocs, etc, at all?

or self documenting libraries.

Seriously, what's so hard to understand about looking at code and then understanding it because you read it instead of having to read comments to understand the code that is in front of you? You seem to be under the wrong impression that self documenting code is a negative process where things are taken away rather than added.

Hello HN!

We’re Brametric team (Mike and Jack).

Brametric.com was designed to help users determine their ideal bra size. The system takes into account six measurements, analyzes the features of user's breast, and uses that information to find a corresponding size.

The Brametric algorithm was developed by our team of researchers and guest experts, with the help of the online community, to provide you with the most accurate bra size determination available.

The Brametric guide helps users to measure correctly by clearly showing where to measure and prompting them about the correct body position and how tightly the measuring tape should be pressed.

Tables on the Brametric website show band and cup size conversions, taking into account the differences between measurement systems in many countries.
