Same here. My name is very common and I have an email similar to John Smith <smith.jj@gmail.com>, and I have around 10 people around the world named like me or similarly that use my email for everything. I receive, almost weekly, paid invoices, flight tickets, appointment reminders, a teen soccer club newsletter, new instagram accounts, etc anything you can imagine really.

A few years ago I tried to contact some of my other selfs to ask them to mind their email, but never got any response. I'm just ignoring them now or hitting the spam button (after all, the senders should have a process to check the address instead of taking erroneous email addresses written by hand on paper).
> The patient, who had a weakened immune system, caught the virus in 2020 and tested positive for Covid for 505 days before they died. Previously, the longest known PCR-confirmed case of Covid was a US cancer survivor... who tested positive for 335 days.

> Genetic analyses revealed that in five of the nine patients, the virus acquired at least one mutation found in the variants of concern that are prone to drive major waves of disease. The virus obtained from the patient who was infected for 505 days carried 10 mutations that arose separately in several major variants including Alpha, Gamma and Omicron

(Abridgement unfortunately rushed: above are two possible strong points of interest.)
The sound change in Czech was something like the following:

1) teud- => t'ud'-, i.e. the diphong -eu- changed to -u- and palatalized -t-

2) t'ud'- => c'üdz'-, another round of palatalization, similar to how Latin -tio came to be pronounced as -tsio (Polish still has "cudzy")

3) c'üdz' => ci(d)z- , sound change ü => i is quite common across languages, for example Greek -y- => -i-

As for the meaning, the Proto-Slavic word first meant "(foreign) people" => Czech "foreigner", Russian "stranger"
That time when browsers rendered SVG funny if at all was not very long ago.

There’s another challenge: you need to provide more and more data as you zoom in, wonder how that should work with vector stuff.

I had the same problem a few years back when I tried a vegan diet for a few months. 2 teeth pulled, inflamed gums, plus as a bonus bad acid reflux (the 3 things could be related i guess).
Going back to a normal diet made them better but did not fix it completely. A few months back I tried keto which did fix all those problems.
> What Pandas does is notoriously hard to fit into a compile-time type system. Certainly too hard to go into the brains of scientists who didn't grow up coding.

I'm not sure if that's true. Doesn't Pandas handle ETL and some anaysis? There is nothing inherent to ETL that makes it a hard problem with compiled languages.

In your opinion, what does Pandas do that's hard to do with compile-time languages?
Rimini.

I guess I'll have to take a trip one weekend and go see what's left.
They could claim they never received it; if you do a lot of business on Venmo, it might be worth investing a few bucks in sending via certified mail.

I don't think they'd have a leg to stand on in claiming that your version of the form was incorrectly rendered, as long as you provided all the requested information.

If you failed to include every piece of information the form asks for, perhaps they'd have an argument to reject your opt-out; the contract does specifically say that every piece of info must be included and it must be signed.
He's not making an argument, there's no conclusion. It's a lament.
This article made me think:

"When I release my next software product, I'm going to get a book promoter to promote it."
This is much more like it. It lists the consequences of the choice in one page and then gives me a graphically equally weighted choice.
As long as you don't have to rely on 3rd party libraries, sure, type hints are fine.

Many popular libraries, however, don't have type hints or use them inconsistently (looking at you numpy, pytorch, tensorflow, scipy, ...).

Always great fun to see function signatures that use type hints for the parameters and return Any.

So it really depends what kind of code you write - web frameworks might be fine, data science and ML is definitely not.
>> figure skating, or law

Thinking about all the "INAL" answers and the obviously wrong "legal" advice and opinion on legal topics you can come across on HN on a daily basis, I think law is good example of people overestimating their knowledge.

Replace figure skating with any other sports, so, and try having discussions about, e.g, a defeat of any soccer team. All of a sudden everyone just became a soccer coach. And everyone is able to critique individual player's performance and skill and technique. If anything, this proofs the DK effect rather well.
> Python is a dynamically typed language. By definition, you don’t know the real types of variables at runtime.

I think you mean compile-time and not runtime. There’s not much use in knowing the type at runtime, since it only enables you to print a better error before crashing (“Expected type: x, actual type: y” instead of “AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'append'”).

Types are only truly valuable at compile-time, where they can prevent compilation of invalid code. This is the reason many statically typed languages use type erasure,
which removes type information from the compilation output.

In fact, the type-checking phase can happen even earlier than the compilation phase. This is useful e.g. in an IDE, where you care about type errors but not necessarily about running your program.
You might be more productive in Python versus anything else for the scale and complexity of the software you are involved in, but you cannot make sweeping generalisations like this. I also think you fail to understand that in many situations, static type systems actually improve productivity, especially at scale or for non-trivial domains. This is of course why Python is now trying to retrofit them.

There's also the argument that one is most productive in what they know. As someone who has spent far too long with Haskell and OCaml, Python's semantics and libraries often seem surprising and counterintuitive to me.
Yes. I have no solution for you, but all I can say is that I feel you. My coping mechanism was to work freelance; less hours and more "fun" projects, but freelance work also comes with its own flavor of bs, so I think it's just a flaw with the human condition at this point.
> I don't think there 17.0.3 ever will be available from openjdk.java.net

These are the official upstream builds by the updates project built by Red Hat. Not to be confused by Red Hat Java, not to be confused by the AdoptOpenJDK/Adoptium builds. These can‘t be hosted on openjdk.java.net because they host only builds done by Oracle, not to be confused by Oracle JDK.
I think the original complaint is about the Android app? Some might prefer to not bother with web apps and might want local/native ones instead.

Just pointing out that it might be a non-starter for some people.

Otherwise, that's a nice suggestion to get to the bottom of where things go wrong - be it specific to the local app or whether it also happens on the web app.
Finally, a reject all button. This is from UX wise compliant.
Show HN: I made a pizza icebreaker app for Slack
Hey guys. To address the difficulty of maintaining personal connections for remote teams—we made a little Slack app called HotPizza

It sends fun icebreaker questions to a Slack channel daily or weekly (you can also /hotpizza for random icebreakers for meetings, team onboarding..etc). While we wait for approval in the Slack app directory, a few dozen teams are using the beta on an ongoing basis.

Would love to see if anyone here would want to try it out and hear what you think!

If 0.025% (a tenth of a quarter of a percent) of the people who watched the video _so far_ buy a unit, they're already break even. And that's only considering the 44k people who watched the video in the first 12 hours.
Looks like you’re correct and I was wrong.
No, it's not bad judgement for a normal human being... or even for an okay security engineer.
When I get pull requests or issues opened on my projects I often click on the person making the request. You can usually tell a lot about someone from their GitHub history - is it a new account? Do they have student projects there? What flavour of projects are pinned? Research? Database stuff? Niche hobby projects?

If someone has an old GitHub account but very little activity, I assume they work at a leech company which uses opensource but doesn’t contribute back. I’m less likely to care about the needs of users like that. That said, professional software engineers will usually be more responsive in issue threads when they run into bugs. I’m much more likely to fix a bug if you can give me a good repro!
> Apple's current line of ARM chips lack the memory and IO features that are essential for server application.

Some people just want to run software. There are plenty of cloud service providers that use COTS desktop hardware as servers, and their customers don't complain.

Personally I run a few services on a basic Hetzner Cloud CX11 instance, with memory and IO never having been a bottleneck or concern. If I could wip out a Mac mini to do the same, I'd be happy.

Not everyone needs a Ferrari. Most of us manage quite well with a beaten-up Ford.

The thing people forget though, is that fight continues to this very day, and it is with We The People that the right to determine and change where that balance sits. Frankly, I think the Federal Government is just aggregating greater and greater degrees of power over time, and becoming a political sledgehammer reached for out of expedience.
Do the policies that people are worrying about have anything to do with what people can study, what books are in the library, or what people can write about?

I'm not convinced that restrictions on speech in class are really silencing something important.

Edit:

On clicking through, the policy appears to relate only to "Hostile Environment Harassment or Quid Pro Quo Harassment", which sound much the same as the concepts everywhere else.

So either there's something I'm missing or making a federal case about free speech is loony.

The problem is that many people start to develop problems in digesting many types of food that would normally be easily assimilated.
The causes could be many but the most likely culprits are antibiotics and pesticides damaging the gut lining and flora.
The consequence is that people is losing the ability to safely eat foods that would be normally considered safe and healthy.
In all probability the reason that a meat only diet works for so many people it's that it is a subtype of low FODMAP diet.

> I was a vegan for 2 years in the past. First year I also didn’t have any deficiencies. But then it all caught up and ruined my health after two years.

I was a vegan for more that 2 years, but also ruined my health including my teeth.

When hearing from other ex-vegans, it's mind-blowing how many things we have in common regarding our health. When active in the movement, no one would talk about the problems.
I don’t think that’s the proper requirement. They need to be not only conservative, but demonstrably supportive of states’ rights.

Regardless, the entire thing line of reasoning is moot. Even people who believe in states rights and are truly principled in their actions don’t think that states rights are a blank check or that no federal laws should passed. For example you can be in favor of federal laws protecting access to abortion because you believe in individual rights being paramount while also believing the federal government overreaches in other domains.

The poster is really just pointing out a perceived hypocrisy in politicians, which isn’t interesting; and painting everyone else who believes in the same concept with the same brush even if they haven’t demonstrated that hypocrisy.
Building an open source operating system without errors
Yeah I agree that's the likely explanation. Nobody wants to admit that they're terrible and nobody wants to boast that they're the best and be proven wrong.

So my suspicion is that the DK effect is not really a symptom of people's inability to accurately self-assess, but they're unwillingness to accurately report that self-assessment.

And I don't think it is unique to self assessment either. It's common knowledge that ratings on a scale out of 10 for pretty much everything are nearly always between 6 and 9.

I don't know how they did the experiment but I bet they'd get different results if the self-assessments were anonymous and accuracy came with a big financial reward.

Anyway that's all irrelevant to the point of the article which I think is correct.
What about the other way - if the commit is "damaging" in nature specially on a competitors repo.
For example the recent NPM commit that wiped user data. If its done on company time using company laptop, will the company be liable ?

I read the results but don't see how they can draw the conclusions they did from them.

The results stated an additional 27% mean weight loss for those participants who were also using time-restricted eating, but then declared that time-restricted eating "was not more beneficial".

I understand that the statistical confidence may be low, but surely these results are "may be beneficial" rather than a hard "not more beneficial"?

Just wear merino, folks. Not outrageously expensive, warm, rarely needs washing.

I’m a 15 year convert to wearing it daily. Whenever I try a “plastic” jumper on at the shops I can tell immediately it feels sweaty and uncomfortable…
Agree. From the DK article graph it is not possible to separate the cases

1. Average self assessment coincides with true skill, but variance increases with low skill.

2. Average self assessment is biased, and the bias is positive when you are unskilled and negative when you're highly skilled.

These two situations would create indistinguishable DK-graphs. I don't understand how anyone can be sure on either (1) or (2) after seeing one instance of such a graph.

As I see it, the only way out for "DK positivists" is to say that the DK hypothesis is unrelated to the truth values of (1) and (2). Or, that there is other evidence making DK convincing.

Neither seems very plausible!
Any TOS that's too long and convoluted for a layperson to read should not be binding. Our legal system is the church preaching in latin.
Same with physical trading cards; buying a MtG card does not give you license to copy the card and redistribute it or repurpose it for your own MtG game business (it will count as copyright infringement, even if the publisher has shut the original game down, they still own the intellectual property).

Physical trading cards and NFTs both follow a similar pattern of use, see First-Sale Doctrine[1]. After purchase, you are free to sell, lease, dispose, trade, gift, etc the object (which represents the IP) without having to first gain a license to do so from the copyright holder. With books, trading cards and other physical objects this is written into law. With NFTs there is no law specifying this; but it seems to be the general understanding (and would likely hold up OK in court, based on how these assets are being sold and consumed by the public).

Exactly this. Every man made fibre makes me sweat buckets. I don’t sweat at all in merino.
The major point is that the UK had an advanced technology is in fibre based networks.

They had a market for product, TV and they had a company that wanted to invest in that market BT.

The factories, including Europe’s largest cleanroom were ready to go.

The politicians killed that by passing a law stopping BT selling TV and instead gifting the market to two foreign firms instead for whatever reason.

That was a dodgy decision at the very least.

My suspicion is that Murdock had a hand in protecting his satellite TV business. As they say “it was the Sun what won it”.

I actually don't care a nit about what Sandberg and her boyfriend are up to, it is completely immaterial. This story looks like pure muckracking for clicks, pandering to the perverse desire of the public to see powerful women fail. Nor do I have any need to express the appropriate level of outrage every time someone in power transgresses imaginary lines.

Media integrity on the other hand is genuinely important.

> to build binary reputation you need to cooperate by using cryptography.

This is blatantly misrepresenting the issue and is technically wrong. And it disregards that this is mainly a mechanism to protect and conquer hegemony in software. This is not at all comparable to DKIM or SPF.

It's extremely irritating that every single thread related to food is swarmed by people spouting anecdotes as if they were absolute truth, and worse, acting as if those personal stories were adequate responses to general claims like

> Red meat is absolutely devastating to the environment and water supply, with immense greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, and polluted water tables

The above is an almost incontestable fact. Climate change and health experts both say we need to move western populations to a more plant based diet. But the moment someone brings that up, 25 people feel the need to jump in with their personal story about how eating nothing but red meat cleansed their vital bodily fluids. It's complete nonsense to respond to generalized scientific claims in this fashion and for some reason a lot of people don't realize this. Hacker News has a lot of people who think they can "hack" diet, aging, weight loss, what have you.

I have my own personal anecdote, of course. I lost close to 100 pounds on a vegetarian diet on which I tried to avoid low-nutrient sugary foods. Doing this changed the course of my life. But I'm not going to claim that this fact about me makes any difference whatsoever to scientific claims abut what it makes sense for individuals or populations to be eating. A vegetarian diet is not the only way to lose weight or live a healthy life.

Even if we take for granted that (contrary to all conventional medical wisdom) keto is the only way someone like you could live healthily, this simply has no impact whatsoever on the OP claim that red meat is bad for the environment and not necessary for the overwhelming majority of people to be eating.
Let's not forget cotton
I haven't pledged to anything since I changed the address.
Just based on the graph just under the "The Dunning-Kruger Effect" section, one observation I'd like to present is that the subjects's numerical self-assessments fall into the same range as passing but non-stellar grades do in school. This may reflect a psychological bias in how the subjects use and understand percentages. Accordingly, that the two lines cross is a red herring.
I live in the UK and I've never come across any company that does shitty stuff like this. Is there some EU law we've still got that explicitly prevents this?
Techy folks with people skills are in high demand nowadays.

Someone who can sell a project directly to the customer while also knowing exactly what is possible and in what timeframe without having to consult someone else is worth their weight in gold.
