One thing I learned from 30 years doing university-level teaching is that if you throw a grab bag at people, most of them won't learn much of anything. That's why university courses (and good textbooks) tend to impose a bit of structure on what's to be learned. My advice: pick one or two books from the plethora mentioned in this thread, and work your way through them. Once you have built a mental model of the particular topic areas you want to understand, then you can start widening your search.

As for lookup tables, I won't say anything bad about them in general. That said, if you pressed the Memory Clear button on a 1620 console, it would wipe the addition and multiplication tables, meaning you couldn't even load a program until you had manually entered replacement values. This was a Dumb Idea :).
I think the upshot of much of this research is that sugar and fat aren’t directly the issue. That gut bacteria actually have a much bigger impact on both energy expenditure and appetite than we thought. Insofar as diet has a major effect on obesity (in the epidemic sense we’re seeing in the US) it might be due to diet having a harmful effect on gut bacteria. Or it might not. It’s an intriguing hypothesis, and it’s disappointing to see it devolving into an argument about “not eating too many sweets.”
I appreciated the historical context with RCS et al. but I’m left wondering where mercurial sits in all this?

I’m curious about the differences between git and mercurial, are there benefits in choosing one over the other?
Does TikTok really remain that popular with the younger generation? I know content creators use it, but I'd expect most kids would prefer to keep content private. Is it really that popular for regular kids?

Truthfully, whenever I open Instagram or TikTok it's almost entirely thirst-traps in my timeline. But maybe that's just how the algorithm has been trained for me.
42M. I use it. Easy way to chat with people, send quick pics, nothing serious. The ephemeral nature makes it much less of a hassle to communicate with people because that's what communication normally is: ephemeral. My brother and sister-in-law use it, and numerous friends. Easy way to keep up to date on what they are doing without the hassle of FB or IG. Basically, a self-container group of friends that can easily share without hassle.
I tried to use their filters for Zoom / Teambuildings (yes, It's tacky, I know) but had to realize that their filter discovery just doesn't work on the MacOS (at least)
One thing I've noticed is fewer clients want carousels now, but we have had quite a few request a hero image with static content and a dynamic background. They'll add 4 or 5 hero images, and we'll just smoothly transition between them every 4-5 seconds while the text/CTAs remain the same. It seems that what they really want is just some animation and flashy on the page and the only way the average person knows to do that is via a carousel. As far as I'm aware, this style of hero has been much more successful when we've done it.
I do worry about this. It feel like I often hear complaints of an influx of tech workers leading to higher prices for locals, especially real estate. I have friends in Denver, CO and Bend, OR specifically who have made that complaint over the last couple years
netflix content is the curse of data driven product building.

you optimize for the most impact, and yet you forget that the average man does not exist.
I use MongoDB. Is it possible for me to embed it in my application for my end users who want to ask questions?
I'm still not sure why blocklist wasn't the goto replacement. Depending on your accent, you might not even notice!
Ha, this was my experience as well when getting into hardware after spending forever in software. It's SO amazing being able to just shoot a program through simulation and then look at the waveform to see how an instruction propagates down a pipeline. Debugging concurrency issues on hardware (i.e. incorrect re-ordering/concurrent scheduling) is honestly so much easier than debugging software concurrency because you often can't even see the entire system state. We're starting to see software catch up with things like time-travel debug with instruction tracing (whether Intel Processor Trace or ARM CoreSight tracing) but the analysis tools for these sorts of things have nothing on wave analysis programs. They either force you into a linear interface (GDB time travel) which makes actually finding the issue a pain in the ass or they simply don't give you the granularity of data that you need.
Tomahawks are more like $1.8 million a piece these days. They do nowhere near $1.8 million of damage so the price is too damn high.
Besides the confusion regarding what net neutrality is that others have pointed out I would also like to point out that we had net neutrality for about 2 years from 2015 to 2017.
Ask sane russians two simple questions - "When did WWII started?" and "Who won the WWII?". Most likely you'll hear "1941" and "Soviets" as a response. It's important to understand that russians live in imperialistic narration and propaganda for centuries. Their most renowned poet, Pushkin, is not very different from modern russian TV-propagandists in their ardent support of wars. Even the "sane russians" see the world through the lens of alternative history and set of beliefes incompatible with democratic governance. So while they're minority, they still carry the same memes and cultural DNA that enabled Stalin and Putin. It is a very sick nation.
>However, the net result is that words are driven out of the language even if everyone involved in the document wouldn't care.

No one uses "fuck" in corporate communication either. Is anyone worried about that word being "driven out of the language"? I don't think corporate speech is as influential in overall language use as you are implying.
Not colliding with immobile objects at low speed is a solved problem. Tesla's just choosing to go without radar/lidar. This inability to model the 3d world makes me very skeptical that Tesla's self-driving cars are competitive with Google's.

Honestly it's embarrassing; if a human behaved this way behind the wheel of a car, I would assume they were high on something stronger than weed.
I'm conflicted.

On the one hand, I dislike everything about the situation. Government officials using their power to attempt to hurt private companies who disagree with them. The whole narrative behind the bill in question is plain stupid on all sides, from how it's being described by the political opposition to whatever culture battle the bill proposers think they are fighting.

But on the other hand, why the heck does Disney have these special privileges in the first place? How much have they benefited from this special arrangement they were given? I'd be interested in an honest accounting of that.
I thought about how lazy I am and how difficult and a pain in the ass it is to design a schematic, how annoying it is to pick components and make sure they are properly rated. Routing is almost trivial except for some of the tricky high frequency and analog stuff.

I would prefer some sort of "Smart EDA" that automatically understands that I want to place a switch mode power supply with X constraints here, then automatically rates resistors, capacitors, inductors, mosfets, etc and automatically picks manufactured components from mouser. I could get behind that. If the software does that part I will gladly do component placement and routing myself!
Tesla has radar but it is disabled? why is that?
> forces us to nonsensically pretend that differences can only be positive in cooperative environments

What is "forcing" you to do this? The D&I training I've been taking has been about finding positivity in differences to our mutual advantage, but never does it say that all aspects of it are 100% positive. People are always going to find areas of disagreement. Yet we find ourselves working together, and so we must find ways to collaborate as a team despite those differences, even to the point of respecting them.

> Because it suggests that minorities need special advantages to level the playing field?

The evidence on this is pretty clear, because several minorities do suffer from historical poverty (in money, in education, and quality of life) that has been very difficult to overcome. A lot of damage was done prior to the Civil Rights Act through mechanisms specifically intended to keep Black people down, and we haven't recovered from that yet. We're getting better, but I don't think we can just put our heads in the sand and conclude that the Civil Rights Act was the end of our journey to remedy the terrible legacy of slavery and racism.

> all inequities are exclusively the result of discrimination on behalf of white males who have been made into a target, are having their voices silenced, their job opportunities removed

You cannot be serious about the silence of white voices in the media. Maybe some individuals are being silenced (see below), but the sentiments certainly are not. For every 1 person who may have been silenced, it's easy to find thousands who haven't, whose opinions track roughly identically. And those people who have been "silenced" seem to have no trouble getting their voices heard through other avenues. Alex Jones still has plenty of mouthpieces, as does Donald Trump. (Both also happen to own several of those mouthpieces...)

And it is especially ironic when a person claims they are being silenced... on Twitter, and then when it is republished through various blogspam ad nauseam.

> ...their livelihoods threatened for self advocating?

I think it depends on the nature of the advocacy in question. If you're saying, "I want the opportunity to learn, to work hard, and be successful," I would be very surprised if people were to threaten your livelihood over that. On the other hand, if your advocacy consists of lies, exaggerations, and hysterics, then people might not want to associate with you.

I don't accuse anyone of being a bigot because they have genuine and good-faith concerns about whether we are remedying social inequity the wrong way. It's when they flat-out lie, deny the past, make racist remarks themselves, or make themselves out to be the victim without evidence that they deserve that moniker.
I doubt it. On an average around 70% of seats are reserved (affirmative action) for lower caste students. The difference of admission cutoffs is like day and night. I wouldn't be surprise that people from upper caste don't feel particularly well, for being lawfully, indefinite discrimination.

I don't personally pirate much, but I take umbrage at you characterizing it in this way. You seem to think that the issues of accessing media without subjecting yourself to user-hostile behaviors are wholly orthogonal to the issue of accessing media without paying for it. They aren't.

Imagine a hypothetical universe where, in order to watch one of your movies, people had to a) pay you $1 and also b) let you punch them in the nose. Then, when people sensibly start pirating your content instead because they don't want to get punched, you loudly proclaim that they are stealing the $1 you are owed.

That's what's happening here. People want to watch your content, and are willing to pay for it. But they don't want to pay for it AND get punched in the nose. They pirate because your distributors, and by extension you yourself, have made it impossible to watch your content (and pay you!) in any other way.

I get that your natural rejoinder will be "if the content is not worth being punched in the nose, just don't watch it!" Which is fair. Debatable, but fair. Just don't come here pretending that all you have asked for is the reasonable sum of $1 when you are actually demanding that your customers subject themselves to the indignity of your fist.
My unverified hunch is that HN skews towards those who value salary as form of status. I've probably more who studied computer science with a primary motivation of making money than I have who love the job itself. And the inverse it true for those I know in teaching. Suffice to say, there may be some value system projection when people say they don't think anybody wants those jobs.
If the author thinks Avengers is too dark for their son, they definitely won't like One Piece. The manga has a man eating his own leg from starvation, a man getting half his head blown off, genocide, human experimentation, people being sold for slavery, a man being boiled alive. I love One Piece, but if the author wants their son to be free of "stunted impersonation of grownup sensibilities" I'm not sure it's the right thing.
Speaking of gun deaths... someone linked to https://www.osha.gov/fatalities the other day and I was surprised to see how many fatalities involve workers getting shot, often by co-workers!
Irrelevant nitpick: "gender" in linguistics means "category". Objects in grammatically gendered languages are rarely/never categorized as "manly" or "effeminate"; they're, for example, categorized as "animate" or "inanimate". [1]

I wrote TCO in the title because with "proper tail calls" the title exceeded the allowed limit on hacker news! Moreover most people will know the term TCO and less the more precise term proper tail calls. You are of course correct that tail calls are a required aspect of the Scheme specification even though many implementations that call themselves "Scheme" don't implement this fully.

It's likely easier, safer and more socially acceptable to set up this kind of home lab than the kind of maker spaces you are talking about. A lot of people go to (shared/public) maker spaces precisely because their home is not suitable for that kind of physical experimenting. You probably need space, money and expertise to do home experiments of that sort and then it's probably generally wise to keep it on the down low in most cases so you don't freak out the neighbors or otherwise draw problems to yourself.
This will be hilarious with people writing scientific papers
You have the right attitude. I have worked with delusional individuals who one day "soon" expect to mypy check their entire several hundred thousand line legacy code base. This is supposed to be a boon to developer productivity. I hope it outweighs what was lost getting to this point.

I love how these boards look, the design is really smooth and unique.

Tesla says that the owner is supposed to be able to see the car during all parts of the summon procedure precisely to prevent situations like this. Tesla knows that this system is not perfect.

Fwiw, the best use of summon is simply getting out of a tight parking spot (e.g., some residential garages).

Expecting it to be a valet is ambitious in its current state.

>in practice the people who say it are motivated by a package of ideas about gender which I think are bad and would be harmful for society if they were more broadly adopted

I would argue this is a symptom of the same phenomenon and therefore the heart of the objection is still the same.
Are people generally cool with unsolicited PRs to "editorial" content? I'd have assumed that stating or not stating something in a README is mostly an intentional decision.

If you look at the timing of the obesity epidemic you notice that it has a very sharp “knee” in the US around the 1970s. It does not coincide with the introduction of fast food or the automobile or sedentary living, and contemporary people exercise more in many cases than they did in the 60s and 70s, with vastly higher BMI as a result. The same pattern occurs in other countries just at later times. And the effect size is huge. Much larger than anything we can achieve with diet and exercise (durably) or even the best weight loss drugs. I don’t know what’s causing it, but “gosh people eat poorly” doesn’t seem like a good explanation. I thought this was a good (amateur, but accessible) summary of some of the stats: https://slimemoldtimemold.com/2021/07/07/a-chemical-hunger-p...

This may be a regional difference, but we make most of our money on fees. Cashflow isn't actually worth that much in the current economy.

Not that it matters though, I was trying to make use of the "common knowledge" that banks make money from your deposits, and that therefore you spending your money instead of depositing it in a negative return account is costing us potential revenue. I know that's not how banks make money, but it's the culturally accepted explanation for how banks make money.

If we manage to keep organs ticking along for another 50/70 years, is that really a win?

Currently 2/3rd of people get a form of dementia by 80, so hitting these numbers sounds like a recipe for a troubled society.

I’d like to see a similar study but for the longevity of the human brain/mind.
Yes, the way to interpret something like this is "unless something dramatically changes." Which it will eventually.

I think at some point in the not-too-distant future civilization is going to have to contend emotionally, institutionally, and ethically with interventions that fundamentally alter basic dynamics of human biology.

Things like eliminating aging, and things like fundamentally altering neuropsychological identity. Just the other day there was a paper posted here on HN about somatic mutations underlying the aging process. What happens when we fix that? What happens when we can change someone's basic neuropsychology in a way to eliminate criminal propensity or lack of intellectual deficit?

I'm not saying any of these things are going to happen 2, 5, 10, or any particular number of years from now but I do think it will happen. Things like aging and violence will be seen in the same way that we see viral disease or electromagnetic physics: things that we only have a fuzzy grasp of now, but will be able to manipulate at will in the future, even if imperfectly.
They might actually both be true. A sibling comment seems to indicate they don't do this any more and the main gallery page hasn't been updated in four years. It's possible that the project to put artwork on CPU dies has died, though the webpage hosting the gallery has clearly not died.
Many remasters sound better than the original disc. It is a small improvement however, perhaps 1.2x better at most, not a 4x one like dvd to bluray.
That is a very common joke in Wisconsin as well, which leads me to believe anywhere north of the 37th parallel has the same joke.

I use Home Assistant and a mixture of Z-wave and wifi devices. The way I choose wifi devices is by finding which ones can have Tasmota firmware flashed to them.

For example, in Australia, many hardware stores sell “Grid Connect” devices. This is a cloud solution for the likes of Arlec. However, most of these devices can be flashed with Tasmota. This removes the cloud and keeps everything in house using MQTT. Security is WPA2 and TLS. I run my IOT devices on a separate VLAN and use 2.4Ghz network as it seems to have more coverage and is more reliable.

Here is a list of >2000 devices which can take the Tasmota firmware:

Without even knowing how their internals work, I can guarantee that the bug in their software is that they don't check for height clearance, because it's not needed in 99.99% of the situations.

However, I do think radar should have caught it, because radar has almost like a cone like view in front. If the car was far enough, the cone would've spotted the height.

I'm saying that demolishing happens on all sides; you seem to be willfully ignoring that fact. By showing selective outrage you're showing your bias.
I’m surprised that it took so long.

Tesla says that the car should be in sight during the whole summon procedure precisely so things like this don’t happen.

“You must maintain a clear line of sight between you and Model 3 and closely monitor the vehicle and its surroundings at all times.”

“Smart Summon is a BETA feature. You must continually monitor the vehicle and its surroundings and stay prepared to take immediate action at any time. It is the driver's responsibility to use Smart Summon safely, responsibly, and as intended.”

I’m surprised that this was not a slam dunk for your insurance company.
I didn't mention what I was subtly after, which was the facial expression after asking that question.

Usually it's sigh and a nod of the head (as if they are remembering THAT company). That's a good sign for me.

There is a mutual recognition that we've both worked in some terrible companies and learnt how NOT to do some things. This generally means (and some good followup questions) that they have CI/CD,a PR review process, some ticket tracking, agile/kanban etc.

I'm generally not worried about how my questions are perceived as that's a red flag for me. If they have a problem with that, then most likely not a good place (culturally) I want to work.
Back when my Bride and I were living in a one bedroom apartment, she looked at my jumble of computers around my desk and asked "why not just get one big box?". I was browsing/shopping at Lockheed's outlet store, and stumbled across a glorious Sun 180 server with a 19", 8' tall rack. Only $25! Who could resist! We picked it up and my Bride was horrified to discover the refrigerator sized machine next to my desk. It is still used today - though it is holding a bunch of servers in the basement rather than front and center in my office.
Right, user-friendliness and conversions don’t necessarily correlate. I’d still like to encourage to optimize for the former.
For sure. But warnings don't solve complacency. You summon your Tesla to the front of Whole Foods successfully for months, go to the airport and expect the same thing. They think "oh these warnings are them just covering their butt." Which the warnings are doing. It shouldn't be called just "summon" it should be called "remote control summon." Because everything about those warnings puts you in control of the situation. But Tesla loves to use branding and will take the hit for when that branding doesn't actually meet its metrics.
Musk recently said in an interview that Tesla is waiting for bitcoin to consistently use more than 50% renewable power.

The market reacted because a much higher subscriber growth was factored into the price. After the massive drop Netflix is still worth $100B and is one of the largest media companies out there, which is nothing to scoff at.
