Really stoked to have stumbled upon this. HN has a way of serendipitously surfacing projects just when I need them.

CMS.gov keeps changing their data format for nursing home info and writing multistep validation and ingest is a nightmare.

This looks like I may be able to help simplify things tremendously.

...Then get a two seater, hide the other guy off camera, and if you really insist on the narrative angle, stage a crash site?

The thing I don't understand is the destruction of the plane really doesn't add anything... Why invite the downstream complexity and bureaucratic ire of the most notoriously iron fisted, merciless, detail oriented, and humorless federal agency out there?

Like I get adrenaline is a hell of a drug. It can be a great high. That adrenaline spike is a completely different spike when you're getting your wings clipped, because you've demonstrated a remarkably poor grasp of cost/benefit analysis.

Like, I'm more open than most to the freedom to do stupid things as long as no one gets hurt... You kinda have to make a credible effort to guarantee that though. IIRC from the original video and thread, the plane actually ends up looping or spiraling around below him at some point, meaning he apparently didn't even bother to trim the aircraft/lock the controls for a predictable trajectory to impact.

Even having that thought on camera would have gone a long way toward getting this whole thing further away from scandalous controversy territory, because it would have at least demonstrated forethought and concern for what the plane would do afterward.

The crime here, in a sense, is being a perfect example of what not to be in my estimation. If the FAA does nothing, it kinda presents a major image problem. Which is bitter, I might add, because optics based justice is the worst kind in my estimation.
Not the creative part, no. Someone could presumably use the non-creative stuff as far as copyright is concerned, although other means (notably shrink wrap licensing) are often attempted to restrict that.

I used to regularly see books at the university book store that were wrapped in literal shrink wrap licenses for that reason, which of course makes browsing difficult. And then there was a major case on the subject ProCD v. Zeidenberg (7th Cir 1996), where such a license was found valid and enforceable.
As I wrote I rarely use the GUI tool for conflict resolution because I am most of the time just fine with diff3 textual format in my editor. So I have no experience which tool would be best. I used kdiff3 15 years ago (mostly pre-git) and have drifted over to meld over the years. The reason for that has been lost in history, not sure whether it would stay that way if I started to systematically compare them today.

Meld certainly does allow to manually align lines. But sometimes I have struggled when doing several alignments in a single diff. Not sure whether kdiff3 would do better or it's just user error.

Where meld certainly fails is huge files. Its performance can be horrible. But that affects generated files like logs, not source you would have in git.

If they're paid while the justice is being worked out and their trial takes years, that is potentially a burden that the employer can't bear.

Also, you're describing a situation where bad behavior becomes a protected class as soon as you get arrested for it.

In my high school, a teacher was caught raping one of his teenage students. He was fired for it.

In your opinion, if he had been arrested, he should have had his paycheck legally protected until his trial ended.

That's absolutely, totally insane. I don't know what country you live in, but I'm glad to live in the US where I can fire someone I know has committed a crime. It is possible to know things before the criminal justice system decides they are true.
It all comes down to the risk you're willing to accept. Back in the 70s when 4-5 kid families were common, population density was much lower and bad things happening to individual kids wasn't as widely reported? Doing this kind of thing in a nice suburban neighbourhood was fine.

Nowadays with far more 1- and 2-child families the risk we're willing to accept is far lower. Population density is higher which directly multiplies the chances of your kid encountering someone who will hurt them. Traffic is busier and drivers are more distracted, increasing the risk of accidents. Distances are greater, there's no "5-minute walk down to the corner shop".

All of these factors combine to make the expected cost of letting your kid loose unsupervised much higher and the expected benefit much lower. A 10-year-old would be fine. A 4-year old? Hell no.
I don't think it is about research, design or experimentation to get product market fit but technical expertise. Just look at how Apple is organized compared to the competition - technical people lead: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31052647

Proof: The majority of today's winning or great products were started by technical people. Yet the industry feels the need to systematically discover "the next Steve Jobs" with MBAs, PMs, methodologies and buzzwords to justify the success of the next innovations...

Not denying its usefulness, some of these might help but seems like too much buzz
There is a distinction as the war in Ukraine is not being waged for views.
I’m skeptical that there is much in the way of structural racism these days, but moreover, you can acknowledge a racist system while remaining colorblind. You can recognize that society racializes people without racializing people yourself. I don’t see how race conscious changes are helpful in the first place, much less are a prerequisite for colorblindness—if you have a racist system, it means the system isn’t colorblind, so just go straight to making it colorblind—why pass through a “color conscious” state (I also don’t understand the distinction between “color conscious” and “racist” except for connotations).

That said, I would be curious to understand what systems and cultural institutions you believe to be structurally racist and how they operate and so on.
I live in one of the few Canadian cities who were progressive enough to install city-managed fiber in most areas zoned for high-rise buildings. Actual internet service is provided by ISPs, but they deliberately excluded the large telcos.

Similar to the author, I also get 1Gbps symmetric, no outages, no data caps and I pay only $32 (Canadian) a month. The telcos charge four times as much for the same service (but less reliable) in the residential areas not covered by the city network.
You’re totally right of course. You’re doing God’s work by making Jira more usable. It’s just an unfortunate state of affairs that this is needed. Bless.

Nevergrad, a Python optimization platform open-sourced by Facebook, is easy to use. Can't say how it compares to other solvers though.

Oh it happens, I'm not saying it doesn't. But my comment was more about how the TV show sets it up. I think kids should have more autonomy and be allowed to fail in a safe way, and shows like this do well to show what they're capable of.
Having to pay expensive diy-developers is also a cost (and a huge risk). And if you then need to transfer knowledge and reinvent the wheel for all the NIH-applications you're essentially becoming a cloud, but less complete and not scalable at all.
I live with depression, and have taken SSRI and SNRI medication for about 30 years. It took a very long time to find the drug and dosage and dosing regime that works for me. I still get way down, but not _too_ dark and since going on current meds 3 years ago have had no issues with suicidal ideation. Depression is a complex set of problems, and it is in my experience unreasonable to expect a "complete cure in a box" when dealing with Major Depression. In my case there is little doubt that my current SNRI is life extending.

To be honest, I sometimes think that maybe pointing out how weak the evidence is for AD meds in general may dissuade some people from trying them - and they may work, as may a placebo. I really appreciate the way you worded this, it's really rare to find a balanced and informed opinion like you have shared.
Trout are also notorious for only striking food that has more calories than the energy required to strike. It seems obvious … but if you want to catch big trout you must use larger bait or make it … effortless for the fish.
Ask HN: Website with worst UX or Registration experience
I came across a website that had HN users seeing if they could complete a registration process. People posted their times (13 minutes, 30 mins etc) in the comments. I can't seem to find it.

Does anyone remember what this was? Or have examples of websites that are similar?
> but the rates are not low

What are you comparing to?

If you've shopped around for interest rates you'll know a bank loan is the lowest of the generally accessible loans. More specifically mortgages are the easiest low rates because they're very predictable (compared to other assets).
ok, so a distributor thinks a movie will make $100MM, they buy the rights for $50MM, and the bank discounts this to $10MM, so they get a loan for $10MM?
Four figures, at best. A quick googling says youtube pays as low as $300 per 1M views, maybe as high as $2k.

When you order your lenses, talk to your provider about the Abbe values of different materials.

Polycarbonate lenses are specifically bad at chromatic aberation, but traditional glass and plastic is good (but probably too thick/heavy for your prescription). I'm enjoying trivex, but my prescription isn't much; not sure if it would work for you.
> Business Internet is not usage based

You'd think that's the case but really, it depends.

It depends on what connection type you have, what country you're in, and how remote you are or aren't. Business grade fibre in a big city? Probably not going to be metered and you'll have bandwidth to spare. ADSL in the middle of nowhere? Almost certainly going to be metered and you'll have very little bandwidth.
Ironically, the Boston Tea Party was less about taxation than it was about the Brits imposing an artificial monopoly on tea imports to the US.

There are actually not many barriers to municipal broadband in Canada (yet). Your city just has to commit to it and execute on the plan. It is admittedly easier to do in small, dense cities than in cities with sprawling suburbs.
It's mostly just how the logistics happen to have turned out. Armies and battle theatres take a long time to move. And then there's the little thing where he believed the FSB's toadie intelligence [1] that he could take all of Ukraine in a day, 4 max.

Putin has decreed that there shall be a victory by Victory Day (May 9), and every redistribution of personnel or materiel causes massive delays, making any kind of victory by then even less likely. Their logistics and equipment maintenance is terrible, as is evidenced in their transportation and resupply effort [2]

There's also a lot of sunk cost fixation going on. He's already lost most of his prize, a hard pill to swallow. But every other bit of territorial potential he loses is infuriating. This is the RUSSIAN army, goddammit! A world class army! An empire army! And they WILL have a victory by May 9th if they know what's good for them.

So his generals continue to obey him, reinforcing damaged units with other damaged units as morale continues to plummet [3], trying desperately to coax the soldiers in Maruipol into surrendering so that they can call this their "victory" [4].

But git diff3 style being textual format in one column it sounds surprising that a GUI would use the same approach.

Huh! I think you're right. I never realized that the old way was clearer.

I like your second example there. The compiler could probably very easily ensure that a variable was initialized before first usage.

Word is more common and also less intrusive, and unlike Google Docs, you can still use a much older version before they introduced this stuff (and I suspect many people do.)

I don't know what you mean by "a number of years" but I'm reasonably sure Word 2016 didn't have this, or if it is, it's not enabled by default.
Would that be enough to cover the cost of the plane?
The whole discussion seems to center on the TFP index. I'm not familiar with this, but Wikipedia says "it's also called multi-factor productivity", and it's a ratio of GDP to the "weighted geometric average of labour and capital input". Asking "is growth linear?" is a very different question than "is output/input linear?". Of course it's reasonable for input to grow exponentially as well as output, so yes, the ratio should be linear, which is not inconsistent with just the output being exponential.

And, I can't say without more reading more, what might be hidden by that weighting? Zooming into an exponential enough will make it look linear.
Not sure how much of a win that is for the taxpayers. You loaned someone hundreds of thousands for something that no one found value in, but at least it's open source?

Yeah, by any objective measure 80s NYC was way more dangerous than Capitol Hill, Seattle is today. The cognitive dissonance here is interesting.
You raise a very good point in that the "formulate the problem the way the solver wants" step is legitimately difficult and full of pitfalls. Simply figuring out the translation can be hard, and even then there are many ways to formulate a problem which are mathematically equivalent but have drastically different performance when fed to the solver.

It really feels like a tools or language problem. Heck, we used to have to manually work out derivatives for continuous optimization problems, but nowadays programming languages with performant built-in autodiff often make this trivial. Removing the manual derivation hassle let loose a flood of cool ideas and applications, even though there was no technical hurdle preventing them in the first place.

Alternate problem specifications is a well-explored area (what is Prolog if not a way of describing problems for a constraint satisfier?), but I wonder how many other neat things are dammed up behind usability problems.
If you’re backed up sort of often you should beware of diverticulitis. It occurs in younger and younger people today. It’s not too strange to see a person in their early 30’s having a partial colectomy (or worse) nowadays.

Your semantics are misguided at best and malicious at first hand. FaaS is cloud-native, but is a mere abstract context a lock-in? If so, what is the point of ascribing lock-ins at all at that point? Cloud-native isn’t vendor-owned, at best it could be trademarked at the CNCF but that’s not a vendor.
The US, for all its democratic ideals, has some weird cases of "The vast majority of us all agree that this is a bad outcome, but we aren't ever going to change anything meaningful about it." This is one of them; seemingly nobody can do anything about the overreaching child-protection agents, or the busybody neighbors, or the lousy suburban neighborhood design, or the frenetic activity-planning. Why not??
I don’t have a developed enough view to argue this well. I’ve just been listening to a lot of Ezra Klein and engaging with a lot of leftist sources for a bit now and it’s made me much more sympathetic to these views, which previously seemed pretty empty and useless to me.

So, yea, I can’t really do it justice. It was sad for me because I’ve engaged with you in the past in defenses of Go and you made some really insightful points, so I began to count you as one of my HN heroes, and all my HN heroes (and other online heroes of mine) have left leaning politics from what I gather, so learning that you perhaps don’t required me to do some reconciling.

But yea, I can’t give a specific accounting of racist institutions.
This is exactly what I worry about. Part of Liberty is actually using it. It's where the whole "home of the brave" thing comes in.

When people are by default free to do things... Yeah. You have to be willing to keep an eye out. And I do not ascribe to the school of thought that anything that creates a condition of "unsafety" should necessarily be controlled until it becomes an established regular thing that cannot be ignored. That's a road we already know ends up with no one having any room to do anything because you can dlways find someone who'll get their knickers in a twist about it.

The shocking part here is the video evidence of just not giving a damn, and not being genuinely "in the task" of being a responsible airman.

Probably 100-200 MB. The database instance takes up most of the memory. I thought it was MSSQL instead of MySQL, which would easily explain the amount.
You're not adjusting for inflation (cash + increases in electricity costs), ambitiously assuming an equivalent 10% return on other investments, or re-investing the amount saved per year in your calculations (that $1650 you save in the first year also compounds to ~$16.25k).

Make those fixes and the numbers are much closer.
Does ublock somehow stops view counts? Or are you strictly talking about monetization? Even though I don't care about adding views, that might make youtube recommend his videos further. He's probably on some kind of shadowban at this point, though.
Question: AITA as the president of my country, for invading another country in order to prevent them from joining an international alliance which threatens my geopolitical power in the region? A few years ago I annexed a different part of that country in order to get economic benefit from having control over a major shipping port in the area, and it was totally fine then - but now the international community is ganging up on me by applying all these sanctions and crippling my economy, and it feels a little unfair.

YTA: "YTA. This is an act of war. Russia invaded another country uninvited and is trying to force its way into a major power bloc by threatening the countries within it with all sorts of international isolation, economic pressure, and military aggression if they don't submit to Russian hegemony in the region.

Don't try to use "globalism" as an excuse for your actions. You aren't afraid that other countries will form alliances against you because they are globalist; you invaded another country uninvited purely out of spite and malice towards the world's democracies, who have expressed their resolve in this situation by taking effective action against you."

NTA: "NTA. This is an aggressive move, but it is a move that a lot of countries have made in the past and will continue to make in the future. The world is a dangerous place and countries need to fight.

The issue comes when you start to take it too far. A country should never be in the business of invading other countries for economic gain. That goes beyond just being an asshole, it's just bad policy. This is something that I think a lot of people in geopolitics miss. Countries should be in the business of making money, not destroying other countries. You're playing a high stakes geopolitical game and the only way to win is not to play."

Interesting that the question doesn't mention Russia, but the YTA answer inferred that was the context.
You can't if you use the Office 365 suite of products.

My point is I don't understand the point of this Tweet or its relevance. The title of the article in question says "Google Docs will start nudging some users to write less dumbly". The article also references the fact that Google is introducing these features to compete with companies like Grammarly who are offering these types of service already.

In addition, these additional features are only enabled on the workspace version of Google, for now.

In my opinion, there is no problem in releasing features which improve the long standing spelling & grammar checks word processing tools have had for many many years.
