Hrm. I had similar experiences beginning a few weeks after a 'mild' TIA in the lower right part of my cerebellum in 2002. But it manifests itself slightly different. My whole field of view, both eyes disintegrates into something of a mix like a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/15_puzzle or one side of an unsolved https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubik%27s_Cube , 'scrambled' into about 250 to 400 fields.

Not quadratic, and not regular in a geometric way, more like leaves, roughly the shape of a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhombus

It starts as something like a fast https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greyout within about a second, two at most, and then I'm having this 'screensaver effect' for about 30 seconds to a minute, or so.

Most fields are just scrambled into random positions, sometimes even jumping into others, while about a few dozen are impossible blacks or grays with vertigo inducing feelings, because they seem to jump back and forth between infinity and back. Really hard to describe.

Anyways, this absolutely messes with my orientation, and I shiver or even shake slightly.

However, I do not fall. One time this happened to me while carrying a cup of coffee on a saucer from the coffee machine in a conference room back to my seat.
The cup clattered on the saucer because of my shaking, but I managed to put it down on the next table with a loud clack, and drop myself into some spare chair next to the wall.

Without spilling a single drop!

Witnesses described my moves as something like an industrial robot on fast-forward. Not fluent, but in fast and small consecutive steps. But I couldn't see!

Havn't had one of those for years now, also no debilitating pains, those came first. Thing is, I mostly had these when I felt under (time)pressure, stressed, angry. (I think)

For instance, bicycling fast somewhere to be there as arranged? Happened several times, full brake!

Bicycling fast, really pushing it, but just for fun? Never happened. (So far)

Really, really strange!

Funny thing is, MRIs decades later show nothing. According to the radio- and neurologists there arent even traces of something bad, and my brain has exceptionally good blood circulation.

Oh, back to language!
At the time this happened I had trouble speaking in several ways. First to find words, then to form/speak them. But only in German, which IS my native language.

Not so in English!

Also I didn't really notice it at first, because I tend to not 'think in words', but mostly visual in pictures, movies, abstract mashups of these.

I also had ataxia, but not one-sided as usual, but right arm, and left leg.

Really, really strange. But mostly gone now.

Except for losing temper fast.

That stayed.

Can't have a better defence against BS though! :-)
I am not the most social person and maybe this is a somewhat of a 'bliss of not knowing' due to being ~6'2", but is this obsession with height common in Europe?

I don't recall any of my friends mentioning height as a criteria. I guess I see women dating taller men almost exclusively, but in a sense that the man is the same height or taller, not over 185cm or whatever.

I can't even recollect how tall are like 80% (as in, taller, same or shorter than me) people I know unless I know them very well. It never crosses my mind.
The headings, styles, even features are identical. It's not possible that this is a coincidence.
I find this attitude to be enormously, fatuously ableist. "We have control over fitness" except when we don't.

Many people live with restrictive medical conditions that limit or prevent any level of "hard" exercise. Those conditions are certainly not of their choosing, and the underlying implication that those people are "guilty" of a lack of "discipline and intellect" is offensive and deprecating. The unfortunate fact is that such conditions become increasingly likely as we all age, becoming a near certainty for most people as they approach and pass 60.

That the parent commenter has evidently managed to avoid (thus far) that sort of misfortune is wonderful for them. But it shouldn't be used to demean or belittle those who have not enjoyed that good fortune.

Yes I too have always said the problem with BGP is that it's way too efficient. It's going to be great in the next conflict when Russia simply takes over majority control of the network and reroutes traffic at will and we will all have to go along with it because the longest chain wins.
Fyi: This is an "internet draft". Anyone can write one and get it published with little to no review.
>Hybrid batteries which minuscule compared to EVs, put out 25kw+ instantaneous power.

Which is exactly the problem with hybrid batteries - the peak power demanded from them is about the same as a pure EV, but each cell is put under much greater load because there are fewer of them. Those tiny, over-stressed hybrid batteries will not last very long. Not that many people will notice, as they just want a car that can take them where they want to go.
The Leuchtturm one is totally overrated, very thin paper. Try Clairefontaine. They don't market as well but the paper is much nicer.

Yeah, and I find it peculiar people rant about both about the same time. Making cross-platform stuff takes time, so it makes sense that Fig ( and many others) focus on a single platform only initially, if they haven't chosen a cross-platform stack. Which sucks as a user, which is why I prefer Electron apps to X-only apps.
I’m not here to deny that short men face challenges, the same way that anyone with any characteristic deemed negative by the prevailing dating culture faces challenges (plenty of examples to choose from - age, weight, ethnicity, wealth, disability, education, class, caste, language).

I am here, though, to throw cold water on the ridiculous borderline-incel hot takes from men here who have drawn a blank on dating sites and thereby divined the true nature of women. As if women are a monolithic bloc conspiring against your genes. As if women are spherical horses acting out the simple laws of your evolutionary psychology. As if women don’t face their own challenges in finding meaningful relationships. As if “women” just means “attractive white 18-25 year old heterosexuals” and you don’t see the double standard.

I didn’t read all the comments but didn’t spot a single one from anyone female. My advice to y’all is to get out of the sausage factory and start meeting some people in real life.

Don’t be ridiculous. They’re software products for sale on a store. If the developers consider them art and care deeply about that they can release the code and anyone can install the app on their device then.

Beautifully crafted web page.

For any experimental science, the integrity of experiment (thus reliability of data) is important. For experiments with human subjects, the question is whether the subjects answered the questions in good faith. A sequence like 'HHHHHHHHHH' for the coin toss experiment looks like an answer in bad faith; it is mechanically easy to keep pressing the same button, and a subject is unlikely to think that such a sequence is a likely random sequence. Therefore, the replicating authors are fully justified to eliminate those poor faith answers. The original paper authors' claim that 'HHHHHHHHHH' is as equally probabilistic as any other sequence is irrelevant.

> As for our initial idea to make an age-guessing game, we have guessed right 51% of the time. Pretty much what we had expected .

Yeah... you thought I was 60. Seems from the comments this is a common thing.

You might want to check your algorithms. But then again, you do say in the end of the results that you need more 60+ year olds to help make this more accurate.

Also, a bone to pick. You claim that people get less random as they get older over 25, with 25 being the peak. I would wonder if maybe that has some correlation with the brain finally fully developing from adolescents into true/full adulthood. (Remember folks, we do call people 'young adults' for a while in their 20's.)

Also, while you make that claim about people as they get older, I still managed to get a coin flip result that was 13% more random than others at my age group of 33. Or something like that. I forget how it was worded exactly off hand this moment without going and checking again in my history. My point here is this.

If randomness declines with age past 25, but my score at age 33 is 13% more random than others in the same age range; then is it truly declining for everyone equally or is it just some people more rapidly than others?

I think this maybe correlates potentially with the findings of the trend disappearing once the non-random data is removed. (The all heads/all tails results.)

Anyways. With all this said, I do agree you need some more participants above the age of 60. Have you considered using facebook at all?
I mean: It looks like there’s no product behind that, all blog posts are just about laying out a vision with stock photos, and illustrations that have zero meaning.

If you choose this approach at least try showing actual footage of it like you’re showing on your Twitter account. I know they are static designs so at least change example.com to something that looks like a live one used by others.

It doesn’t have to be perfect yet by being authentic you’ll have way more success. :)

Aimbot Does It in Hardware
Not a CS, but a damn good technical accountant and well self-taught developer.

I led a team that wrote an accounting & reporting software for a specific technical problem. We had an architect who only knew Spring, and hasn't been out there pretty much in a decade.

I clashed severely with him, to the point where he made an arrogant argument about something he was clearly wrong with. He said "I bet my salary that you're wrong" in front of people. I bet mine too, and the following day I demonstrated that he was wrong. I gave him my bank account (it was pay day).
It was a hard bet to lose, so I said he didn't need to pay it, and I asked him to be removed from the team (because he showed that he wouldn't learn).

We went on to build the system without Spring, without TomCat and with more freedom to write SAL where an ORM couldn't solve the problem better.

Interestingly, we used grpc between the front-end and the backend JVM microservices.

As other people say, check out projects in GitHub. Look at what new Java, Kotlin, Scala projects look like.

There's a lot of interesting stuff in JVM-land that don't touch Spring.

Interestingly on the software that we wrote, compute was the biggest bottleneck. I rewrote some parts in Rust, but ended up canning the work because nobody else would be able or willing to touch the code.
Now I want someone to feed this classic prompt to DALL-E
Yeah, most of us here got “over 60” because we inputted data with repeated values, because we know real random data has repeated values. I’m not sure if we overdid it or the study has a weird metric of “looks random”.
it depends on what you mean by 'worse' though.

People choose mates based on perceived genetic fitness using proxy metrics, such as symmetry, height, skin color and other traits (which may or may not be genetic, but is assumed to be, like intelligence).

the fact that today, women have become more selective of these traits than the past, due to their new found economic opportunities and freedoms, means that some subset of males who would've been selected in the past (when women's choices were much more limited) are now alienated (rightly or wrongly so).

But i dont believe there to be a solution to this lookism problem, while still maintaining freedom of choice in mates.

I do believe there's a solution to systemic racism, but not for "lookism".

For me what helped a lot was finally gaining friends (at 21) with similar interests (and by then I finally had my own computer to mess with). Before that I was messing with our family dos/windows computers but in university a friend gave me a Mandrake Linux CD and that finally made things click for me, soon after I got Apache working and proudly showed my father my self hosted website… and then I emailed the adres (10.0.0.21 or so) to all my friends and quickly learned another thing or 2 about networking (10.0.x.x addresses are local and sharing them over the internet makes no sense :)). Before that I was all on my own, of course this was when the internet was just coming up, no YouTube etc. IMHO there is no real substitute for a group of like minded individuals to Learn from and to get motivated by. That, and it helped that my father didn’t get angry when I bricked our modem telnetting into it (some 25 years ago) to let my friends see that website as well.

I think nowadays Raspberry Pi’s are just great, so much power and freedom for 35 eur. I was always afraid to mess with our home computer (back in the day we had 1 for the family with a family email address), but Raspbery Pi’s, man I’d keep throwing them at my kids if they were interested.
There are probably many factors that determine preference ranging from genetic, enviromental, personal-history, cultural, that determine it either immediately or through some other mechanisms, but we just don't know that yet. In any case preference isn't comparable to an institution, for many reasons beyond the mechanics of preference.
C itself wasn't the problem but rather learning to use Xlib and Cairo was very difficult. A massive amount of code that I found on the internet was un-compilable. The documentation is extremely old and I was relying a lot on taking already existing code and playing around with it until I learn the intricacies.
The pages need to be "punched" to make holes of a specific shape:

https://old.reddit.com/r/fountainpens/comments/bccgt0/discbo...

Apparently, paper has enough "structural stiffness" or whatever (don't know the detailed physics), that it won't pull "away" or "up" from the discs by itself. Forcing a page out can be done for sure, so you need to be aware of this and put the paper in/out of the discs with a special kind of gesture/movement, that bends the paper instead of tearing it. Still, both the static forces and each in/out gesture do put a bit of stress on the paper, so you tend to prefer a slightly thicker kind of paper for this than in typical notebooks. Common xero/printer paper with 80g/m2 is decent enough for me, although if really needed, thinner paper can also work, but it will be much more flimsy and prone to falling out. Still, if some of your pages get tired around the holes, you can do an "emergency repair" by taping them over with e.g. washi tape, and re-punching the holes. I found the repair procedure imperfect for a number of reasons (esp. that I can't seem able to keep the page from warping when I apply the tape), but still better than letting the pages fall out, so I only use it as a last resort.

What I found even more interesting, is that the technology was invented quite long ago - I think I read that it happened even before the 2nd World War, though the earliest concrete date I can find now is "before 1948" (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc-binding and https://atoma.be/en/the-atoma-quality/). IIUC it's patented by the company founded by the original creators, https://atoma.be. But apparently it's been since licensed (?) to some other companies, and/or the patent has expired. Notably and fortunately, most of the current producers stay compatible with the original system (the general dimensions, positions, and distances of the holes are the same), so you can exchange the punches, discs, pages, and other accessories. That said, as shown in the link above, there are slight variations in the shape, which results in more/less friction when turning the pages depending on the exact shape of the hole in the page vs. the exact shape of the disc's cross-section. Also, weirdly to me, each of the subsequent companies tries to sound like they're the one and only creators/"innovators" of this technology, while (usually) following the

Anyway, there's some more info you can gather from teh Internets and youtube, and there's some small community on reddit: https://old.reddit.com/r/Discbound/
Do let me know the mistakes and I will fix them!

And agreed, the Rust book is excellent.

I did have experiences with C which made going into Rust that much easier. But for others that don't, wouldn't you think going straight to Rust would be easier than learning C on the side?
I got the same answer as you, over 60, the first time as I was also very deliberate then went back and did it again like a 3 year old, jabbed anywhere and got a higher random result. Maybe there is something to the study?
GUI autocomplete seems… counter using a terminal in the first place?

Yes I'm fully aware of the technical details behind most of this stuff. However the high level consequences of it is exactly as I said. IEEE floating point values aren't really used that much in python as much as they are in JS because python chooses to crash the entire program rather then return a NaN. Probably the only thing I use out of that spec is infinite.

In the end for JS, The user ends up seeing 3 values equivalent to null in javascript and these values propogate through the program stealthily. Lenient isn't the right word... error prone is more inline with the consequence of javascript type coercion.

Additionally yes, I am aware of how every function in Obj C is the maybe monad as the article mentions. I'm just addressing the comment. Thank you but there's no need to reiterate the article to me.
Small price difference? When I bought a Spectrum as a kid, the C64 cost about 2/3rds again as much and way out of reach.
This looks interesting. I'll look more into it. The only thing that concerns me is the overhead and the automatic garbage collector. But GO has those as well.

Thank you for your recommendation.
In other news, how many things do we want to name Fig? I remember something for docker used to be called fig (compose?) and several others.
As far as I have understood, the order of branches is not forms on the time basis. Try going to not very popular topic on HN with few branches and upvote something. You will see that sometimes your upvote will change an order of branches.

Which to a machine may as well be the same thing in either phrasing. You want something different from what you just listened to. To it, anything not 'that song' is different and 'new' potentially if also not 'just listened to' within a certain set amount of songs. Even without that certain set of songs being logged and considered; any picking of a different song from the last is verifiably random.

Think of it all like a deck of cards. Shuffle is apt in that sense. You don't expect to see double aces each time you pick through the shuffled deck of cards, but sometimes you do. Sometimes, you also find double jacks, queens and kings; in a row. Sometimes you don't. That deck could be shuffled by the worlds best trick shufflers. Still gonna get doubles now and then.

True Randomness is not really technically possible. At least, not with our current technologies available; and we have a lot of aces up our sleeves.

The best we can manage for randomness right now, is creating random strings of numbers to serve as the seed for new randomness. At least, if I understand correctly. If I do, then this is why cryptography is so damn important for us in the computational side of things. Network Security requires randomness.
> As for our initial idea to make an age-guessing game, we have guessed right 51% of the time. Pretty much what we had expected .

I don’t know what the “guess” was for others. But for me it guessed “are you under 60?” If that’s what it’s doing guessing above or below 60, then I think it’s amazing they, only getting 51% right. I would expect that a strategy of ignoring data completely and always guessing under 60 would be significantly better.
Apple's emojis are fine. What's not fine is their treatment of them: apps can be rejected from the AppStore if they feature emojis on a screenshots, or have them on some button. What's worse, this rule is applied very inconsistently.
