A link to brushing and flossing correctly is below! In summary:

- Brushing: Hold your toothbrush at a 45-degree angle. This is the best angle for cleaning both the surface of your teeth and inside the gumline (killing two birds with one stone).

- Flossing: Use the "C Technique". Wrap the floss around the side of your tooth in a C-shape, and gently guide it up and down the length of your tooth and softly below your gum line.

65% of Americans are Obese or Overweight, despite all the warnings about it.

I think that masks _might_ work, but proper compliance was so low, it just wasn't worth torturing the public with mandates.
I ordered as soon as I could when pre-orders went up. Unfortunately I was out and about and didn’t have a good cell signal so it took longer than I would have liked. I’m in Group 2, hopefully near the start.

I can’t wait. Looks like a blast and I’d love to try my hand at developing for it.
5G in a lot of ways is a Solution in Search of a Problem. I think that's certainly the case for consumer cellular. In my mind, we already had enough bandwidth for almost everything that people do on their mobile devices, including streaming video. There are certainly advantages to some of the new spectrum (penetration of 600Mhz, for example), but that could've just as easily been rolled out as part of the existing generation.

There were supposed to be improvements that would help carriers with network congestion, by allocating large chunks of bandwidths to clients with the highest SNR to get them off the network faster, but anecdotally I haven't noticed anything significant.

There are some super cool high performance applications, though: fixed-point and point-to-point wireless can be vastly improved with the new spectrum and higher efficiency modular ion techniques. But of course that often gets abused by carriers and deployed in unsuitable environments (I'm looking at you T-Mobile Internet) causing poor experiences for customers.

There should also be some cool applications in automotive eventually (C-V2X: cellular-vehicle to everything), especially for self driving, but things seem to be moving especially slow on that front.

I do have to say, though, that working on some 5G projects has been incredibly challenging and very rewarding. There have been really cool innovations in circuit design to make things work at these (theoretically) high bandwidths.

Well, you did frame the discussion as:

> I think your (and the article's) argument could be summarized as "static type annotations without automated enforcement by actually running a type checker considered harmful"

It illustrates your mindset, in my opinion. I think type annotations without checking them (or without a satisfying implementation of said type checking) are mostly pointless.

You also left out the part where I remarked on the dismissive tone of your reply.
yes, that's a fair point. it is entirely at the discretion of the government.

that being said, if it weren't, the concept of a 99-year lease wouldn't have any teeth.

indeed, your point is a central pillar of the land development policy in singapore -- the idea that things evolve and the government needs to make decisions for the 'greater good'. the same concept exists in the usa (imminent domain; a completely different implementation but still one that strips assumptive rights that a property owner has).
I'm not a practicing statistician, so I'm uncertain how to weigh the two arguments here.
Boring is good. Being boring in technology means you're not trying to be clever, in the "smart arse" sense, when implementing a solution. Sometimes being boring is the correct choice and the best thing for everyone, regardless of whether or not an engineer wants to have fun with something new(er).
Yes, Borges style: don't allow anyone who wants to be president to be it.

Doing all sorts of things will introduce you to all sorts of problems; from there, it’s just a matter of habitually looking around to try to see who/what has already worked on whatever problem is currently in front of you.

For example, I first found minion when I was learning about scheduling problems, initially to help a friend who was a Chief Resident on a pediatrics ward and later, to automate the administrative hassle of scheduling incident responders. (I wrote about that a little bit many years ago here if you’re curious: https://mstone.info/posts/scheduling/)

Concurrently with that, while I was working with and supervising security researchers, I spent quite a bit of time implementing various program analyses to answer questions about what certain programs of interest might do, and to find inputs that would make them do interesting things. For this purpose, though, minion is much less immediately relevant than Z3 since the interfaces and research interests of the relevant communities are so different.

Finally, this year, I am focusing on problems that have a more conventionally geometric flavor as opposed to the more discrete search spaces mentioned above. Here, convex optimization is a starting point that cvxpy makes incredibly accessible, especially in combination with Stephen Boyd’s Stanford SEE EE364A lectures (or similar): https://see.stanford.edu/Course/EE364A

There is a minimum contrast specified for a reason, because more contrast is better to read.

Modern designers argue that high contrast is "harder on the eyes" and they seem to prefer solid colored boxes. It is a real pitty, infested the web with sites that are basically gray on gray. Great, the text is now out of the way for the beautiful design and the eyes can relax from all the reading. Except when you actually want to read it.

No really, low contrast text is a real strain and these "too much contrast" arguments are too blame that it still happens.
Agreed. He is a real, known, video game YouTuber. I think he focuses more on retro than present day.
I never had Prince of Persia, but I had 16-color Tandy graphics that wasn't EGA compatible, so if there wasn't Tandy support, I'd get CGA. Not a lot of CGA games would hook me into playing, when I had other options.
Are you american? CNN would be extremely liberal on social issues pretty much everywhere in the world.
Agreed, but it also clashes with the world view that brought us Typescript, which I also find better than Python's type hinting.

In addition, it makes it harder for me to argue in favor of type annotations with my coworkers. My coworkers come from neither world, static or dynamic; they are learning the ropes. And they just can't see the point. I'm confident I would convince them were this a statically typed language, but with Python I'm lost.
You don’t get the “look” - some people will buy this for the portability but a majority will be using it to fit into a particular look they want.

Think YouTube podcast where everything on the desk is sleek and apple or apple-like. This fits in in a way the Behringer doesn’t.

I wouldn’t be surprised at all to find YouTube videos with this on the desk but obviously not being used - where the actual dirty work is done offscreen.
Answer to 95% of the above questions: have a trusted central authority and permissioning. Then you can trivially scale, increase privacy, keep it small and secure, and prevent attacks.
If discussing "left" vs "right" then I agree there's ambiguity. If discussing "left wing" vs "right wing" I think the scales skew further towards communism vs capitalism.
> Sovereignty of a nation is built on the sovereign individuals.

This is just wrong. Sovereignty is a term for having ultimate authority. This can be had by any kind of government as long as it is the ultimate authority over what it claims to govern. This can include a dictatorship even if it might not recognize the authority of the individual over their own body.

Whether or not other countries recognize another country’s sovereignty is another matter. As in the case at hand, Russia clearly does not recognize Ukraine’s and so it violates it. This qualifies as rape according to one of many definitions for the term. And that’s an accurate and appropriate labeling.

But, and this is my point, it doesn’t make your particular analogy accurate or fair. You are equating the rape of a nation with that of an individual. In particular, you are using the typical cliched scenario of the attacker being drawn in by the victim’s dress, which is usually used to suggest the perpetrator could not control themselves due to the supposed unspoken solicitation and temptation of the victim’s dress. This is not at all like Russia and Ukraine. This is not defensive, or even attempting to claim so. It’s just claiming powerlessness, a lack of agency. And Russia is doing nothing of that sort. It’s doing quite the opposite.

You even end your comment with:

> I hope no women in your family are raped by men with logic similar to your own, because you'll be blaming them.

You are suggesting that the two situations are so similar that the target of your comment wouldn’t be able to differentiate between them either.

Strange. A rape victim has a traumatic personal experience that the abstract entity we call a nation could never have, being that it doesn’t have a personal experience at all. The difference would undoubtably be quite apparent to loved ones.

And while the citizens of the nation would likely be wildly upset, unless their own individual sovereignty was also violated they would surely not have the same experience as that of a rape victim. This would be self evident just by asking any person whether they’d rather their own nation or their own sovereignty be violated. But we don’t need to ask, because we already know what the answer would be.

I’m going to bow out of the rest of this discussion though since I don’t even like talking about it. Fortunately I have never gone through either experience. And because of that, it doesn’t feel right for me to discuss the differences like I truly know the differences. Hopefully the same is true for you as well.

Edit, to preempt any misreading: I am not in anyway defending Russia. Their actions are despicable and Ukraine does not deserve any of it. Russia _is_ raping Ukraine, but that reality is very different from an individual’s despite the use of the same term.
“Drone Mothership” is both a great business idea and band name.
How hard is it to maintain and keep secure an entire modern, complex, evolving file system which the OS itself does not even use (so nothing like simple, frozen, and interchange-standard FAT) in an operating system kernel?

Very hard.

Instead there are 3rd party implementations. Those are independently maintained, serving directly the (comparatively small) target audience.
You're assuming that type hints are by definition static-only. There's no particular reason why type hints can't be both statically and dynamically enforceable, as they are in PHP.
Something similar happened to me, I was so sad :( (I think I may have been over the pacific?)
Aw man I love Expect. We have a bunch of legacy stuff and Tcl/Expect powers most of it. Every few years people try to replace it with python and pexpect, there was a nodejs implementation, and perl. They sorta worked, but anytime you had to something more complicated than a single session or simple parsing they fell apart.

now I have it wrapped in a starpack and just dont tell them the language unless they ask lol
>Just move on if their comment is not for you.

Yep, these are pretty much the best times ever. I don't really know how to say this nicely... people who think otherwise either are ignorant of history or are just psychologically prone to be unhappy.
If you're in the USA, heres a fun fact: your city and/or county helped pay for the 5g infrastructure out of tax payer dollars.

Next fun fact. All those telecommunication cunts lobbied to greatly lower the lease rate for those paddles to be put on tax payer infrastructure.

Next fun fact. A majority of 4g infrastructure bonds and other loans cities and counties took out back in the day are about to be fully paid for, on average, between 2025-2030. Depends on the area.

Another one. They had to take out new loans for the 5g. Replacing soon to be freed tax payer revenue back to locked up.

Next one, a bunch of Florida special interests groups noticed this and countered the telecomm lobbying because 5g is pretty much fucking useless.

That all I found out from an in depth article in a business trade magazine called Florida Trends. Laying out a lot as to why FL voters should call their reps to stop telecomm lobbying.

It was a month or two later, "those dumb Floridians think 5g causes cancer and brain control" or whatever that stupid wave of propaganda bullshit was.

"But I can download Fortnite in 43 seconds with 5g!" Literally was everywhere as an argument FOR 5g a while back.

Congrats, your tax dollars went to the toilet so you can stream a 4k movie on a 4 inch screen.

Am I bitter, yes. Especially when on HN i kept reading you lot thinking all tech progress is good at any cost. Whatever conspiracy crap was bot trolled clouded the money aspect of the argument. But hey, whatever. Voters had the chance to free up tax revenues for public benefit. Nope, need that sweet sweet "high speed". That's not the "rich" or "capitalism's" fault since it was an obvious, stupid ploy. Except the general public is just dumber and more self interested.
> hoards of people will come to defend a rich dude who really doesn't need it

I don’t know if that’s a fair characterization generally, but it’s not the case with me and it’s actually a frustration/lament I have when discussing this topic.

I’m not particularly a fan of Musk or any of the current crop of billionaires or their companies. But I care about the principles and the practicalities.

There’s this tendency to say “There are terrible problems in the world. We need to fix them with money. Where can we get money from? Billionaires!”

But when you do the maths, i.e., total up all the wealth that billionaires have and divide it by all the people/causes in the world who “need more money”, you end up with basically nothing.

And that’s before you consider what the billionaires’ companies are doing - which in many cases involves things like making phones/goods/software/knowledge cheaper/free, which benefits everyone including poor people, making electric cars affordable and ubiquitous, which will benefit all humanity and the environment long into the future if it leads to climate change abatement, and creating millions of jobs including many for low-skilled people, and also that these companies do generate vast amounts of tax in the form of sales taxes, income/payroll taxes, and capital gains taxes when shareholders liquidate their shares, and you find that it’s not necessarily true that taking money away from these companies/owners would be net beneficial for society anyway; it could easily make the problems worse.

And now for the obligatory disclaimer - yes I know there are plenty of valid concerns about the merits and ethics of what companies do, and worker pay/conditions and externalities and other issues; but these are matters for regulators and consumers to consider and are separate from the principle of how billionaires should be taxed or how beneficial it would be for billionaires to be taxed more.

I’m also not in the U.S., and I see plenty of dysfunction in that country as well as many others - though we also see many people, including some of the world’s poorest people desperate to move there for a better life.

For what it’s worth I devote a large number of my brain cycles to contemplating how life could be better for the worst-off; I’ve spent much of my adult life dealing with health challenges that caused great difficulty in achieving steady employment and financial security, which I’ve now largely overcome, and do I think a lot about how the principles that helped me could be applied more broadly, including for people far worse off that I ever was. At this stage I find myself thinking there are certain things that could work, but a lot of it is just really really hard.

Gotta love personalised search results! For a laugh I tried searching it in a few different engines and came up with mixed results - some similar to my definition and some similar to yours.

I'm starting to get the feeling it has a "mainstream" definition and more of a "people in the know" definition. A lot of the sources that matched my definition tended to be from more non-technical, mainstream outlets like the BBC; https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/guides/zkrr97h/revision/1

FWIW I like your definition better, I think closed off environments in the long run will be worse for everyone (except the people that make them).

There are reasonable arguments to be made for allowing infrastructure providers to limit the ability of bad actors to consume extreme amounts of resources before they tragedy-of-the-commons the whole shebang for everyone else. But any such system has to acknowledge that qualifying as infrastructure means that society relies on it to function, which means that demand for the infrastructure is, at the low end, inelastic, which means that a typical market structure would make no sense.

The conscientious way to do it is to determine what qualifies as a "reasonable" amount of consumption, then provide that level of consumption at a subsidized rate to all participants, then let market forces kick in if someone consumes more than that. Then the rub is to define "reasonable", which obviously the infrastructure providers shouldn't be allowed to do.

There's no denying that the internet is essential communications infrastructure. And in this era of videoconferencing and work-from-home, the network should be built out such that everyone can stream good-enough-quality video at peak hours without congestion; that seems reasonable to me. The government should also guarantee the availability of this minimum level of service to all citizens. If the network can't handle that, then the infrastructure providers need to build it out. Of course, they will drag their feet and complain, but that's because companies are self-serving sociopathic AIs.
Building on your second point, kids at that age are also prone to verbal misunderstandings, many of which turn out to be hilarious. So turnabout is fair play.
Yeah I'd go a step further and say that any social features are anti-features for me. I really don't need people seeing my activity. Going to make my profile private immediately, and I'm really happy they did this.
> There have been many, many successful public health campaigns in the USA

Of course. Who suggested otherwise?

The point is, when a campaign fails you can't claim it would be a success if only people did it properly. You have to admit that your policy failed, explain why it failed to get the compliance you hoped, and look for other ways that actually produce the desired results, without excuses.

I like that they kept limitations like having a black and white screen (not greyscale ala GB), and a smaller resolution. so there are still creative constraints. But a lot of the software constraints no longer exist so it’s more approachable.
I think old religious buildings and art were better, but we only now have the great ones that have survived. There must have been a lot of cheaply built, unimpressive churches built throughout the centuries that were demolished and forgotten at some point. There must have been a lot of religious art that was the medieval/renaissance/etc equivalent of a kitschy Thomas Kincade painting that no one will remember after it's gone.

It's kind of like old books or old music. We remember the greats but for every Mozart there must have been at least a dozen 18th century composers whose work wasn't as good, never got traction, was never recorded on vinyl/cd and now might as well never have existed. There's like a curation effect over time.
I first began to use K9 when gmail's android app stopped allowing me to send plaintext email. I still find this very confusing. I routinely write emails to a developer using an ereader, for whom plaintext emails are trivially easy to work with and for whom HTML emails are a world of pain.

That's what started my migration away from google.

Having said that, K9 is fine. It's good enough that I'm not looking for a replacement.
