I was against you up until the "rape the shit out of...". That got real real, real fast. It is by all means the intention.[1] Almost happened to me in a setting that wasn't employment, I had to do all these defensive maneuvers like getting out of America to make sure I got a trial[2]. I am not a judge of any court, to a small extent just the court of public places, but I find merit and solid reasoning in your case.

[1] You know what, one employer definitely did that, apparently bribed my lawyer to get them to drop the case, got that vibe from the lawyer. Yeah, I thought I could argue with you at the very beginning, but no longer.

[2] Extradition from a country of which you are a citizen requires a real trial, like that takes years, America will let me go to prison without trial but Chile will not let America do that without any kind of extradition trial at all. A lawyer congratulated me on this defensive maneuver.
1. One is just a website to a documentary??

I'm a multimillionaire and every single woman I've dated has said, "I'm glad I took a chance on you even though you're so short." I'm 5'6".

Women filter on height the same way that men filter on weight & age. If you don't pass that first filter, it doesn't matter what your advantages are.

DALL-E 2 is very impressive. So impressive that many people have wondered if all commercial artists will be out of a job as soon as DALL-E 2 is made publicly available. These limitations form a strong argument that DALL-E 2 is not ready to completely replace human artists just yet. This is particularly relevant if you're an artist, or if you're in the market for one.
crypto keeps falling. better get out while you can.
one thing that people don't realize is that they shrink as they age past a certain point (common to lose an inch), and I believe that bad posture can increase this. When I was 18 I was 6'4 but I'm pretty sure I must be around 6'2 - 6'3 by now. So maybe he got measured one time, without taking shoes off, and stood up really straight and he got told 6 when he was 5'11.6, and it's been like that in his head ever since.
And why doesn't KYC get in the way of offering crypto as collateral for a loan?

If this was so simple and possible, every criminal would be laundering money this way, wouldn't they?
This assumes that functional is some undisputed good and that we want to encode all errors in the type checker. Which dgmr, there are some definite benefits but it’s a trade off — in this case it’s verbosity and running into cases where you have to write extra code to prove to the type checker that valid code is valid.

mymap = {
“hello”: “world”
}

print(mymap[“hello”])

There’s no need to handle the None case because it’s impossible. But the type checker can’t figure this one out so we have to write.

x = mymap[“hello”]
if x.some:
print(x.unwrap)

Every* language with nulls solves for this. Go returns ok, Python has KeyError. They model the same problem in a different way with different trade-offs, the main one being more ergonomic for the programmer and avoiding having to do the same checks anyway and call .unwrap.unwrap.unwrap.

* Java has sinned so I can’t really defend that one.
I totally picked the examples - some are definitely deficiencies, but I wanted to concentrate on the debatable ones.

A counterpoint to the maze - it depends what we expect. If you wanted a maze designed, it would be of course a bad example. But if you wanted one painted, it's... good? If it was in a gallery, it could easily be a commentary on life with limitations, dead ends and problems we can't solve.
I get the feeling, but at the same time I personally disagree with it as well as disagree that the store should be run that way.

Aside from the fact that it further restricts what it means to “buy” and app (it’s not just a license to use it for as long as apple deems it good looking enough) there’s the bigger issue of purpose.

I don’t download an app so that I have a nice looking UI. I download an app to DO something, to solve a problem. If the app does it in style (or in line with the newest ui fads) that’s nice. But it’s not why I’m looking for an app.

If my options are between a bad looking app and no app, then I’ll take the bad looking one 100% of the time.
I was trying to price up something between hetzner and AWS and as a starting place AWS ends up cheaper until you get to a certain point then hetzner ends up cheaper. Basically wanted 3 servers. One for load balancer and then 2 web servers so I can pop them in and out. But with hetzner it’s minimum like $30/m per server when I only need 2c/2g I get 3 servers at AWS for $32.

The idea that anglo-saxon kings were mostly vegetarian seems like historical revisionism to peddle vegan/vegetarian propaganda. Certainly "esteemed" institutions like cambridge university and bbc wouldn't be involved in pushing such agendas?
It's an example of the harms that emerge from hidebound gender roles, preconceptions about the desirability of male dominance and female submission, and stultified ideals of attractiveness.

Just as women benefit when society learns to accept and appreciate a wider variety of body types, so do men.
I can believe the ground temperature is higher nearer to the equator. At the same time, you don't need the ground temperature to be very low, just low enough for the heat exchanger to function. Alternatively, you can dig deeper until you hit a lower temperature.

Media obsesion with providing both sides of the controversy is just a disgrace. Is earth flat? We will bring both sides of the argument, so audience will perceive it as equal arguments and think there is 50:50 split between scientists. And journalists will think of it as virtue. Let's provide both sides and let audience decide. We are so unbiased we can't distinguish reality from fiction. And also this is why journalism is on decline. People can't get answers from it, so why pay for it.
You seem knowledgeable about Rust, is this article pointing in good directions to learn the language from a dev primarily coding in JS?
This depends on the comp structure. What you described is true for the old-school 15% performance bonus. This is usually a performance tool and allows finer punishment/encouragement than "fired on the first mistake"/"promoted on the first success". However, there are firms that do profit-sharing and it is not 15% of your base but multiplies of the base. Many people find it hard to ignore.
I just looked up your list from your previous post:

- Your school curriculum transparency item seems like government censorship that the ACLU was fighting: https://www.aclu.org/press-releases/aclu-comment-curriculum-...

- last, “fighting to compel speech for teachers” is a bit of a stretch — they were pushing for teachers to use students’ correct pronouns, which is a common courtesy in most settings. https://acluva.org/en/cases/byron-tanner-cross-et-al-v-loudo...
I manage a solar micro grid that powers 9 Holmes, a small farm, and several other structures and utilities.

We use intelligent power management over the fiber network to tell certain loads when to turn on or off or to change their operating parameters based on power conditions.

I’ve been daydreaming about building a ml based forecaster that just gives the next few hours weather outlook based on pressure, temperature, humidity, and a wide Nigel image of the sky.

I know it is doable because I can do it myself, and probably without any intuition about the pressure. It would automatically calibrate the model wights by feedback from the actual events vs the forecast. This would be really useful for me at least, in managing battery usage and otherwise managing the various systems that store energy like air compressors and large mass refrigeration.

How do you decide that a Nazi is a toxic asshole while other people aren't? I'm not asking about that specific type of person but about your general way of classifying them. Where's the boundary? If some new ideology comes along, how will you know how to classify its adherents?
If it learns from humans and produces results like humans would.

No, humans can understand "A red cube, on top of a yellow cube, to the left of a green cube" and draw it.

Dall-E gives you nonsense -- look at the picture.

It fundamentally doesn't understand things that humans do. That is limitation.

Of course it might be great overall and do things that humans can't, but it still has a limitation.

Gary Marcus has been hammering this home at least since 2018, probably earlier. It's more of a memory/association/recall machine than a machine that understands, and understands logic in particular.

The first 90% of the project takes 90% of the time, the last 10% of the project takes the other 90% of the time.

I don't think it's wise to speculate at this point on what problems are "actually easy" or "actually hard", or how long it'll take to achieve certain milestones. I don't think that even the people at the forefront of this research have any way of knowing for sure.

The field of physics has gotten bigger overall, including experimental physics. It's not like physics is 100% theoretical , untestable stuff.

Speaking as someone who is no longer involved at the coal face of things like that, my role in an equivalent incident resolution would be to attend some of the 3-hourly calls (this frequency sounds extreme past the first 3-4days btw), and therefore having nothing to lose from siding with you on this, I’ll disagree. Accountability would be mine, responsibility only to fix of the team. I.e. the team needs many pats on the back, as they break their backs to solve something the organisation has done wrong, such as in this case not implementing proper controls on the processes. It’s never about the running code, it’s about how it ended up in production. People make mistakes, are assigned work outside their comfort zone, are junior. And these failure modes are also operational growth modalities. But the processes need to support that growth and focusing on the debugging of the issue is necessary for resolution but is wrong when the focus moves to long term avoidance.

You can praise staff but cannot praise the customer unfortunately as that would be inappropriate. You can work on relationship of course, by not limiting your reconciliation to contractual credits on SLA. These will mean nothing to the customer staff that took significant part of the hit in work stress. Not sure what would be a good way to regain the trust at that level.

Edit: fixed accountability vs responsibility in wrong order
I'd be pretty surprised if crypto was widely used enough to have a noticeable effect, especially compared to the trillions of dollars printed the past few years. Though for some reason everyone has started blaming Putin for inflation, so maybe people will just blame the inevitable crash on him too
A few moments reading the article reveals that the chief and only evidence for the headline is the overwhelming evidence that they ate a lot of meat. Too much, you see. So clearly all the evidence for meat-eating is really talking about special occasions. And since this leaves no evidence of meat-eating on other occasions, they must have been mostly vegetarian.

This study is a truly fascinating case of motivated reasoning.

Sure, if one believed that these kings were going around feasting every night of the week, maybe this evidence came as a shock big enough to motivate a sensationalized headline. But no one coming from a more moderate previous position could possibly reach the headline conclusion without motivated reasoning.
Thank you !

This looks like a very interesting world to be apart of , I'll look at this tomorrow.

I'm not sure if it's named for what it isn't or rather named to make it clear that no reasonable or virtues person could disagree with it. Another, more harmless example for me is "natural scroll direction" in macOS.
you wouldn't believe how hard they have it when trying to find men who know things about things. It's not very difficult if you actually treat folks with respect except in perhaps the most conservative of places.
I’m 5’7” and have had no problems meeting women. There is a lot that goes into this, but I found that the single biggest factor in attracting the opposite sex was appropriating a violent, devil-may-care attitude. When it comes to the primal question of “Will this guy be capable of defending me / my offspring” taller guys are given the benefit of the doubt whereas I literally have something to prove.
I know this is morbid, but the first thing that popped into my head was tombstone engraving. Maybe it’s because I work in b/w thermal printers all-day every-day reminding me of the limitations of monochrome … and the shortness of life.

I think you'll get an extremely general and possibly skewed sense of things reading the comments here. What field do you work in? I would find a professional peer who is experienced and can serve as a trusted mentor, this is really more of a 1-1 type conversation. Think like the CTO of your company, or something along those lines. Even a friend of a friend would be good.

My personal 2c is at that age super high level advice on "how to learn" is going to be more useful than "what programming language is best". A lot can change in 4 years and it's better to set your daughter up to succeed at building a solid base of knowledge that will be adaptable to whatever trend is popular 4 years, or even a decade out, rather than take even an extremely well informed person's guess as gospel.
You can do a soft delete, setting a flag (expire date), have apps ignore records with an expire date then a scheduled job to delete all items with the expire date set with a value less than current time.

Alternatively move the deleted data to a temporary location and then delete the temporary location after a short period of time.

Or better combine both patterns where expired rows get moved to a temporary location before hard deleting a period of time after.

GDPR says you have to delete data when requested. As far as I know you have 30 days to acknowledge the request and up to 60 days to action the request. It’d be completely reasonable to do a soft delete for 7-14 days before doing a hard delete to prevent these kind of errors.

Ask HN: How to Stay Focused at Work?
Hi everyone,

For context, I work as a design engineer on what I would normally consider interesting projects. Lately I’ve been having an increasingly difficult time focusing while at work and it’s been negatively affecting my performance. Luckily nobody has said anything yet but I fear that they will if I keep moving down this path. Typically I’ll come into work and immediately find myself wandering off task one way or another, then maybe do some work, then wander off again. Even with me blocking distracting sites like Reddit, I’ll end up on a Wikipedia or google maps tangent or something to distract myself. All told I normally only get a couple hours of real work done in a day. This week was especially bad with me doing maybe 5 hours of functional work in total, if that. I even spent time putting together a detailed to-do list for my current project with tasks broken into small items but that hasn’t helped. I also try to space exercise before, during and after the workday (but admittedly I don’t always do it).

Even though I can WFH whenever I want, I don’t work from home unless I have a good reason because if the office is bad for focus, my home is worse. To be fair, I live in a small apartment without a dedicated office space. I’ve bounced back and forth on why I am this way, whether it is too much freedom (very few real deadlines), my lack of confidence in the direction of the company, frustration when dealing with people from another office, burnout, the work just being too boring for me, or the fact that there are not many people currently at the office, and none with desks in my vicinity.

All that being said, today I was at my girlfriend’s apartment while she studied for her finals, and I figured I’d try to catch up on work while there. Surprisingly, I was effortlessly able to start working, even while still lying in bed! Additionally, I didn’t “feel” like the work was bullshit either, even though this past week I did feel that way. It makes me wonder if my problem stems from my mind not being in work mode while I am at work. How do you all keep your minds in a working mode, whether at home or at the office? Thanks in advance!
Hi HN, I am glad DFlex is featured on Show projects. Happy to take any question you have about DFlex and its roadmap.
Cauchy was also a pioneer in complex analysis, which is taught in undergrad.
I find it fascinating that the base assumption here is that it’s all a level playing field, rules are evenly enforced and it’s up to each developper to pull themselves from their bootstraps to make it work.

I have of course no idea how Amazon does their deals (just anyone outside Amazon I guess).
> This headline is very misleading.

Intentionally so. That's the most worrisome part.

> This isn't a "mostly vegetarian" diet as most people would understand "vegetarian".

Amazing how they turned, "anglo-saxon kings ate a human diet ( meat, dairy, vegetables, grains, fruits, etc )" into "anglo-saxon kings ate a mostly vegetarian diet".

I admit I'm not a fan of the bbc, but if they are willing to be this misleading about vegetarian diets, how misleading are they on other stories.
Yours don't?
Not this again!
>they aren’t a criminal / terrorist.

Is there a compelling reason why a criminal shouldn't be able to buy a house? Inconveniencing literally everyone over KYC, including non-criminals, to catch a 'criminal' who needs a place to live just seems absolutely insane. Go after people who you have probable cause have committed a crime, not ones you haven't.
What pen do you use?
The article is very poorly written, but the study it's about was a chemical analysis which seemed to contradict the documents that had previously been studied. The reinterpretation of those documents as referencing special occasions was their attempt to bring them into alignment with this new evidence.

I'm not saying they came to the right conclusion, but it's far from as bad as you say.

From the article:

> Cambridge University bioarchaeologist Sam Leggett drew her conclusions after analysing chemical signatures of diets preserved in the bones of 2,023 people buried in England from the 5th to 11th Centuries.

> She then cross-referenced these with evidence for social status such as grave goods, body position and grave orientation and found no correlation between social status and high protein diets.
COVID and the remote work revolution actually had an upside for over-50s. For the first time you could conduct a full series of interviews without anyone seeing your face. Many companies are happy to conduct the initial interview by phone then send you a code test for stage 2. If you make it to stage 3 the company is in a much more compromised position rejecting you in a face-to-face over Zoom as the ageism would be obvious.
I'm not sure what you're implying here. Are you drawing an analogy between the concepts discussed in the article to cleaning dust with a power washer?
Usually crypto-backed loans are made by crypto-focused companies. You can tell BlockFi (for example) you bought $100 of bitcoin 10 years ago and that's good enough for them. But Wells Fargo would require some actual documentation, and (probably?) not even accept crypto as collateral to begin with
I’ve used TypeScript’s handling extensively as well as Rust’s, and I would say that there are actually significant tradeoffs, rather than it being an easy win for either. In particular, the fact that `| null | undefined` is just another union type can be very nice but also makes it annoying/impossible to implement a lot of the niceties like Rust’s `unwrap_or_default()` in a generic way (though some of that is just a function of how different Rust’s trait system is from JS). It also has weird fallout in the ways that it collapses together `map` and `andThen`/`flatMap`/`bind`. And it’s kind of annoying that it is a special case rather than having all the exact same tooling as all other types in the language the way sum type–based optional types do. On balance I very much prefer the Rust/Swift/etc. approach.
