When did this become an accepted term? I didn't know our science had advanced enough to explain how unconscious bias happens. AFAIK we can run some experiments and observe results, but can't explain the underlying biology as to why we observed those results.
Is this the type of thing you are looking for?

> I feel the odd specificity of "his yevama" adds credence to AaronFriel's claim that this has its roots in a real case.

The Talmud brought two different hypothetical cases. One where she was his yevama, and one where she was not. That's because there are two different laws whereby it makes a difference if sexual intercourse is considered to have occurred or not. In fact, the main topic of the tractate is the yevama case, and the non-yevama case is brought by-the-by.

Summary of the laws of yevamot: If a man dies childless, his brother has an obligation to marry the widow, if they both consent. If they do not, a procedure called halitzah is performed instead. Until one or the other happens, the widow can't marry anyone else. If they do decide to marry, unlike regular marriage, there is no marriage ceremony - sexual intercourse is all that is needed to make them man and wife with all that entails. That's why it talks about "acquiring", but it's not in the sense of property rights (there are none!) - rather in the sense of being married (think about the English phrase "my wife").

Hope that clears it up. Now that Shabbat is over, the main bulk of those who learn the Talmud can join the conversation :)

> The biggest negative for me the author overlooked is the lack of non-nullable types.

I did mention the pervasiveness of nil and the lack of sum types as negatives.

> The positive thing the author doesn't mention is that it's easy to write in

I didn't mention this because I think the "ease of writing" is superficial; thinking through edge cases is something that frequently consumes a lot more time than literally typing the code out.

Also, given that the compiler doesn't really give any useful suggestions when your code is wrong (something that happens more often when you're less experienced in a language, like I was here), ease of writing takes a significant hit.

> nor that threading is really easy.

I didn't cover this because I haven't had the chance to work on much code using goroutines, and I've tried to ground the post in what I have actual experience with.
Maybe you can spend the rest of the evening asking the same to everyone else that shares the same opinion as myself on this thread.
"unjust system" is mere opinion. In my short time on this earth, I've seen broke immigrants who barely know english reach the heights, and I've seen the children of doctors & lawyers (upon whom no expense was spared) hit rock-bottom.

Every choice we make is like compound interest. Make choices that are 1% better, and over time, the cream will rise to the top. Make choices that are 1% worse, end up on Maury or Springer.

And this "social justice," this putting of fingers upon the scales, is a kangaroo court. Of all the effort that has been expended to get more minorities & women into software, how much effort has been spent to get more asians into the NFL & NBA? It is no justice. It is that there are more black & women voters than there are asian ones. It is the mob voting itself a benefit.

What makes you think sync/atomic is undocumented? https://pkg.go.dev/sync/atomic
I'm over fifty and I call bullshit.

Dress and appearance convey information about attitude and orientation. Who wants to hire someone who will constantly complain about the 80-character-per-line coding standard because they like 100 characters? Any team has all sorts of subtle norms, and wants someone who will adapt themselves to such things. If someone can't be bothered to dress properly, why would they bother to conform with any other workplace norm?

I wouldn't try to be "current", I'd end up looking like an idiot. But I'd appear in a decent pair of pants and nice blue shirt and proper shoes. I'm very aware that much of my wardrobe would make me look out of touch and stubborn, and no, I don't think it unfair for an interviewer to notice such things.

Really this is basic professionalism.

> As you get more senior, you should be knowledgeable and experienced enough to be able to coordinate the efforts of other engineers and mentor (or facilitate mentoring of) junior members of the team. And you should be able to cooperate (or battle) with other sections of your organization for resources and to convey progress on your projects.

I agree that those tasks are important, but none of them require being a manager who is formally someone's boss (hires, fires, does performance reviews, deals with HR issues, etc.). I didn't like being peoples' boss, so I stepped down from my management job years ago to become a developer again. But as a very senior developer, I've done all of those other things (mentoring, coordination, cooperation, etc.).

Some years ago, I was on the margins of notebook enthusiasm, but never went all-in, because I quickly discovered that while I really enjoyed the physicality of notebooks, I came to dislike their pre-digital limitations. I still prefer the free-form capability to mix text and drawing and color and scribbles that pen or pencil on paper offers, but I then scan the finished pages into the computer.

As a result, my favorite notebook is now a pad of A4 paper with a good weight, ruled, and perforated so I can easily detach pages and feed them through the scanner.

Are you sure that they're mistaking marginal tax rates for effective tax rates, rather than you mistaking gripes about taxes in general for gripes about federal income tax in particular? In my state, a single filer making $180k pays 34.6% effective tax on income - 19.1% federal income, 6.4% FICA, and 9.2% state income tax. (And maybe 4% more from property taxes if they own a house in a major city, although that's a somewhat different subject.)

This is not to say that rich people are actually poor because of taxes, obviously, but it seems more likely that people would talk about these things in a somewhat inaccurate way than that they would be totally wrong about what they actually pay.

Seems like such an extreme surgery for a few inches. I would think that a treatment as extreme as this should require at least attempted psychiatric treatment before going to full on broken femurs.

But maybe an inch can make much more difference than I think. I am literally one inch taller than this guy and I cannot ever in my life remember someone calling me short or disparaging me for my height.

I do agree that being a little bit taller would be an advantage in many ways. But so would being born into wealth or being extremely attractive.
If you look at the GopherCon talk I gave (linked at the beginning of the post), it is about reading the spec. So yes, I did read the spec, and I realize that this is not syntactically valid (it would be a very basic compiler bug if this were valid syntax and it was diagnosed as a syntax error).

However, the spec only states what _is_ but not _why_ it is that way. Sure, I could look at the git blame of the spec for every odd thing I run into, but there is only so much time in the day...

No, the opposite. This is driven by apps and screen mediated interaction. In real life every person has thousands of facets that give a holistic impression. And people more easily have genuine connections with each other.

The US nutrition label lists sugars per serving, which is 240ml. So according to the US rules it's 7g sugar per 240ml, not per 100g (or 100ml).

The UK Oatly label lists "Carbohydrate: 6.6 g, of which sugars: 4.0 g" per 100ml. Pretty sure the Netherlands product and label is the same as the UK one.
There have already been a lot of alternate Twitters built, including the federated Mastodon network. If you haven't heard of them, why not? That answers the question.

For any Twitter competitor to work, they need a hook to get people to actually use it instead of Twitter. It's hard to think of a really good one. People who feel they have been too censored on Twitter are a possible source, but then the people who were enthusiastic about censoring them go on the attack at any new site, making them have to address a lot of hard problems earlier than otherwise.

Not to mention being able to get top-tier software engineers to work there instead of Twitter or any other company.

I'm partial to Rhodia No 16 dotPad. It takes ink well, without much bleed through the page or spread across the page. For reference, I use a variety of inks and fountain pens, with Pelikan-4001 and Waterman-graduate-allure being my go-to combination.

I prefer the dots to either grids or lines, because they provide enough guidance without getting in the way.

The spiral binding is convenient, and the back cover is stiff enough to use on a lap.

The pages are not numbered, but I do that myself, with yyyy-mm-dd and a title at the top-right of any new set of notes, and circled numbers 1, 2, ..., on successive pages of that topic.

> Why not include your street address on a formal document like a résumé, anyway?

Sadly we live in a world where people still run the risk of being judged on the basis of the neighbourhood they live in, rather than the skills they can bring to a job. By including a street address or postcode in our résumés, we invite people (or more often, nowadays, ML-based algorithms) to make sweeping judgements about us before we even reach the first stage of the hiring process.

Thanks for your reply!

You didn't address the first line in my comment about the definition and meaning of "pressure" so maybe we actually agree.

To ellaborate a bit, one may define "pressure" as the reading of a device that measures its exchange of momentum with the particles of gas averaged over time. The last bit is important because those microscopic impacts are discrete events. If we know [in a classical mechanics framework] the state of every particle in the gas we can predict when they will happen - and succesfully calculate the (averaged) "pressure" measurement.

However, one may also define and interprete "pressure" as a variable that - together with volume and temperature - characterizes completely the behaviour of an ideal gas in equilibrium. But if we have a precise knowledge of the physical state we could in principle do impossible things - like compressing the gas without effort or creating a temperature gradient.

If we have a fish contaminated with mercury and the concentration of 0.01% characterizes completely its toxicity we won't eat it. If we also know that the mercury is only on the surface we won't eat it either but in principle we could if we are careful. The content of arsenic in the fish remains the same although the meaning of that number changes - but of course if we're a bear unable to clean our fish the additional information doesn't change anything at all.

> They're talking about deriving the entropy formula for fair dice. But they talk about it as if we don't have knowledge about physics, momentum and projectile motion. We have the power to simulate the dice in a computer simulation and know the EXACT outcome of the dice. The dice is a cube and easily modeled with mathematics. So then why does the above discussion even exist? What is the point of fantasizing about dice as if we have no knowledge of how to mechanically calculate the outcome? The point is they chose a specific set of macrostates that have uniform distribution across all the outcomes. It is a choice that is independent of knowledge.

I can make a model where the moon is made of cheese. That model is independent of any knowledge about the true nature of the moon. But if I visit the moon and find that - surprisingly! - it's made of lunar rock I may re-evaluate the pertinence of that model.

The model where all the outcomes of the die are equally likely it's particularly useful when all the outcomes of the die are equally likely. If you have no additional knowledge - apart from the number of outcomes - you have no reason to prefer one outcome to another. All of them are equally likely - to you. You can calculate the entropy of one event assuming that there are six equally-probable possible outcomes.

If I know exactly the future outcomes of the die - 4, 2, 5, 1, ... - I can also calculate the entropy of each event assuming that there is one single possible outcome that will happen with certainty. You have one model. I have one model. Are all models created equal? If we play some game you'll painfully realize that my model was better than yours - or at least you'll believe than I'm incredibly lucky.

Ask HN: Why isn‘t „solar hydrogen“ a thing for seasonal energy storage?
I don't know what percentage of global energy consumption can be attributed to heating homes and businesses. But it must be a substantive amount.

In Germany, most heating in winter is done by burning fossil fuels or wood.

For free-standing, single family homes, at least, I would assume that the amount of rooftop solar energy that can be captured using solar panels in summer would be able to provide much of the heating that's required in winter.

The true bottleneck seems to be storage.

Batteries don't work well for this:

The energy required for a year's worth of heating one home apparently is in the ballpark of 35,000ish kWh. To store that amount of energy in, say, Tesla batteries (which are said to have an energy density of about 260 kWh/kg), you'd be looking at 135 tons of batteries - costing around $8.5M.

Even with battery prices dropping, it won't be a viable option any time soon. (Besides, production of electric vehicles is already battery constrained.)

So, why not hydrogen?

Making hydrogen from the electric power provided by solar panels is easy. The stuff is flammable, and needs to be compressed - so that part does require some engineering to make it safe.

But then, you can store the stuff for pretty much as long as you like. Also, to transform the energy back into heat again, you burn it. This means that the basic principle of heating remains the same. The burner unit that used to burn oil or gas just needs to be converted to burn hydrogen. Or, if that doesn't work, you swap the burner unit. But the rest of the heating system can be left untouched.

It seems to me that such a system would offer home owners a way to become independent from utilities, energy politics and oil prices.

So, why isn't this a big thing already?

What other technology, if any, could be better suited to store solar energy in summer to use for heating in winter?

Thanks.
