> Nope, you're asking for a special treatment in an environment where 99.9% of people don't care how you want to be called. Not because they hate you -- it's because they're not there to fight for your rights.

You are framing this as "special treatment" precisely because of your ideas of what gender means to you. Honestly, I empathize hard with what you describe as "pissing into the wind." I'm misgendered on a daily basis -- if I spent every ounce of energy I had correcting people, I'd end each day exhausted. More often than not, I don't push back, usually because it's a service worker who's forced to be deferential as part of their job ("sir"/"ma'am"/etc). I don't begrudge that kind of attempt at politeness. Even outside that, it's never a huge deal in isolation, but it adds up, because I have to do a little bit of mental calculus each time: is this person going to make a whole thing about it or go "my bad" and move on? do I have the energy to bring it up? are they trying to be rude or is it an honest mistake? etc. In professional and personal circles, I'm generally more likely to correct people, because I'm signalling a way to be polite to me, and I've been polite to them, and it's how we establish mutual respect, not "special treatment."

Usually, when people get frustrated at misgendering, it's because a person is ignoring really obvious tells about how a person wants to be addressed (clothing, etc.) in favor of their own personal philosophy about what being "right" means. In the exact same way, for example, you might feel frustrated if someone intentionally decided to use a semi-mocking pronunciation of your name. In both cases, it signals that a person has decided to be cruel to you for petty and unknowable reasons.

I guess my big takeaway is that you deserve as much dignity and respect in the way people pronounce your name as I do for my pronouns, and I hope you can find some understanding/empathy in the parallels between our experiences.
> cities just operate under the generic mass media American culture

I would say it's the opposite. Cities are their own worlds and cultures (many, many cultures per city); they have the critical mass to ignore mass media. Mass media doesn't understand or address the richness of life in cities; it's for the suburbs.

"Room temperature":

> The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language identifies room temperature as around 20–22 °C (68–72 °F),[1] while the Oxford English Dictionary states that it is "conventionally taken as about 20 °C (68 °F)".[2] The ideal room temperature may vary by place and culture; studies from Nigeria show a comfortable temperature range of 26–28 °C (79–82 °F), comfortably cool 24–26 °C (75–79 °F) and comfortably warm 28–30 °C (82–86 °F).[3] Owing to variations in humidity and (likely) clothing, recommendations for summer and winter may vary; a suggested typical range for winter is 23–25.5 °C (73–78 °F), with that for summer being 20–23.5 °C (68–74 °F).[4] Some studies have suggested that thermal comfort preferences of men and women may differ significantly, with women on average preferring higher ambient temperatures.[5][6][7]

> The World Health Organization in 1987 found that comfortable indoor temperatures between 18–24 °C (64–75 °F) were not associated with health risks for healthy adults with appropriate clothing, humidity, and other factors. For infants, elderly, and those with significant health problems, a minimum 20 °C (68 °F) was recommended. Temperatures lower than 16 °C (61 °F) with humidity above 65% were associated with respiratory hazards including allergies.[9][10]

You're not wrong because it's about calorie deficit of which exercise can help you achieve. Also since the way fat gets "burned" for weight loss is by exhaling carbon atoms, aerobic exercise can assist with this process.

Show HN: A collaborative pixel drawing game for when you're bored (Attempt #2)
Previous thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30167391

Hello again HN!
It's been 3 months since I last submitted this project and the back-end server software melted down.

I was really bummed that many people didn't get to play, so I've spent most of my spare time since that last post completely rewriting the back-end server software using small, carefully selected dependencies (C99, sqlite, mongoose.ws & cJSON)
I've done some basic performance testing and I'm cautiously optimistic that it can now handle up to ~1000 concurrent users.

If you have any ideas for improvements, do let me know! Bots are permitted, but try and do something creative instead of just filling the canvas with junk :^)

You can view the source code for the new back-end here: https://github.com/vkoskiv/nmc2
You can also check out a recent time-lapse here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUmnUvTqn6M
The time-lapse gets generated from the server log output using this tool: https://github.com/zouppen/pikselipeli-parser/

(Note to HN staff: It wouldn't let me repost this unless it had a 'slightly different url', hence the sneaky redirect there. If this is a big no-no, I apologize, otherwise feel free to swap out the URL to the redirected one :^))

Maybe they have a point? Arrogance != Wrong in Your Opinion.
Yeah, and this "kitchen sink" approach is partly why I stopped writing C#. Same thing is turning me away from JS.

It's exhausting trying to stay up-to-date with the language, in addition to changes in the frameworks and tools on top of the challenges of my day job.

I might be showing my age, but I've come to appreciate that features come after long and careful consideration, and not every single release.
>Isn't that what we have? JavaScript is a VM-based sandbox.

JS is unfit for the task. It is a dynamic scripting language introduced by Netscape for the only purpose of adding a bit of interactivity to web pages, not to create large apps.

.NET and Java are much better for the task. The VMs support better languages with better libraries and more sane ecosystems. And the performance would be much better than that of JS.

And is easier to write an application using Xamarin or MAUI then using React.

When you write Java or .NET apps you write to target a computer which is a much better model for the apps then Web.

With "app languages" you can write apps better, faster while having better performance and more capabilities than using dynamic scripting languages like Javascript, Lua or Python.

Operating systems and browsers are apps too. And we don't use Javascript to write them.

You can write anything in any Turing complete language. But you'll be a fool if you attempt it for anything but fun.

Go get assessed and see if you do have ADHD, OCD or something else. If you have ADHD then a lot of the 'dopamine seeking' behaviors make a lot more sense and medication can actually help reduce your food addiction and general addiction susceptibility. If you are a girl, and/or the non-hyperactive type of ADHD and a smart kid, it can be fairly easy to be overlooked, since your 'doing ok' in school, even though it's your intelligence just papering over that fact.

Another way to go cold turkey is to ban all 'junk food & carbs' paraphernalia and just go whole foods / non-processed veggies and meat.

What do you mean it’s a “solution in search of a problem”? It solves a very clear problem: lack of scalability of traditional Ponzi schemes. That’s why most of the answers to criticism of cryptocurrencies is usually “it’s not much worse than the kind of thing that led to the 2008 crash”. For crypto enthusiasts the problem is not that scams exist; it’s that they didn’t get to join them early enough.
In my experience, Monarch storing histograms and being unable to rebucket on the fly is a big problem. A percentile line on a histogram will be incredibly misleading, because it's trying to figure out what the p50 of a bunch of buckets is. You'll see monitoring artifacts like large jumps and artificial plateaus as a result of how requests fall into buckets. The bucketer on the default RPC latency metric might not be well tuned for your service. I've seen countless experienced oncallers tripped up by this, because "my graphs are lying to me" is not their first thought.
Good question. I'd like to know myself.

> imagine there are many neighborhoods in large cities where an outsider moving in expecting mass media American culture would not feel welcome

I think they would find neighors very welcoming - even the toughest cities and neighborhoods are mostly friendly people - but the culture would be unfamiliar and the newcomer would have to adjust.

> it may be easier to travel to an area of the city with more generic culture where they do feel welcome

I'm not sure where that is in many cities, other than suburbs. You can't escape the richness of large cities.

Most applications don't require true random access.

Instead you're typically reading a range of data, and then you can decompress just the blocks required for the data you want to see.

Caching of partial queries can also help substantially. For example, if many queries involve querying the max() of some per-second data grouped by minute, it is well worth caching that rather than reading the source data every time to calculate the max().

Typically the query engine can keep counts of every subquery and how frequently it's used and how many data points it involves to decide how long to cache it for. As far as I'm aware no opensource tsdb does this, despite it being a massive simple win, especially for alerting systems and dashboards that run very similar queries frequently.
100% agree. Using 'instance of' in Java is a terrible anti-pattern, same as trying to do pattern matching. You should lift that code into instance methods and let the runtime pick the right implementation.

Life long Texan here. Some of y'all need to get this setting your house temp to 78° figured out. 78 is damned comfortable, even in high humidity, as long as you have your ceiling fans on moving that air around. Don't have ceiling fans? Better get them installed in every room. Lowes and Home Depot regularly sell ceiling fans that are $35 that are quiet and run just fine.

Sure 78 isn't as cold as 72 or 68 that many of y'all like keeping your houses in the summer, but it sure as hell beats the indoor temps of 95+ when you don't have power.

If you want to see the TERF mindset, and I recognize that the word is thrown around too easily, check out Lily Cade’s speech against trans people. It does advocate for violence.

There are also very real statistics and accounts of violence against trans people. The numbers are shy in comparison to COVID deaths, but you have to account for the number of people who do transition and do not hide it.

Is this priority #1 in the world? No. But we could all show some more god damned humanity to people.

Triple digits and high humidity are the norm for some parts of summer in some parts of Texas. No, opening a window isn't a fix.

"[irreversible medical procedures on kids] it's just not a thing"

Even if not done much today, it's certainly an issue. For instance, see this doc from the US HHS (a federal department):

https://opa.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/2022-03/gender-affir...

"May include medical, surgical... For children and adolescents...crucial to overall health".

Logically, it kind of has to be an issue, right? Current medicine isn't even close to being able to change the sex of an 18 year old. So some people will want to start a lot earlier in a lot more cases. And people will push the boundaries with hormones, which in kids absolutely will cause irreversible changes.

So I stand by my claim that you are unfairly dismissing the controversial aspects of the argument.
I seems plausible to me that a self-reinforcing death spiral could be well underway.
>Aren't IQ tests basically BS?

Depends on what your starting premise is. If you start out with a strawman like "IQ fully captures a person's intelligence", then yeah it's "BS". At the same time, if you're arguing that IQ tests are "BS" (ie. no value whatsoever), then that's also false, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligence_quotient#Social_c...
Extremely low. Old roads are starting to pop up. Shasta lake hasn't received any less rainfall than normal and is fed primarily by rainfall. What's disgusting is that it's being overused as a water source.
This is a garbage CNN article about a laughable iq study that’s so bad it borders on propaganda.

The study focuses on “two brothers” cohorts and makes the claim that iqs within families are on the decline, but fails to adjust for confounding factors, like the selection bias inherent in their cohort selection process.

Other studies show that first borns have a higher iq than later siblings, and to a greater extent than what this study found!

Iq isn’t boosted by higher education. This isn’t up for debate. Outside of malnourishment and sensory deprivation it it mostly heritable.

> If everything has a Schwarzchild radius determined by its mass

It doesn't, not in the sense you mean. You can calculate a Schwarzschild radius for any mass, but that radius only means something physically for an actual black hole. You can use the calculated radius to estimate how hard it would be to turn some ordinary object into a black hole; that's what the article does by comparing the Schwarzschild radius for various masses or energies to the actual radius within which we can compress them by processes we can currently control (and of course the latter radius is very, very much larger than the Schwarzschild radius for those masses or energies, which means we have no feasible way of turning any of those objects into black holes). But that in no way means that those ordinary objects have some actual, physical Schwarzschild radius that acts like the horizon of a black hole. They don't.
I’m genuinely curious, can you point me to credible information showing that some other stablecoin is actually fully backed?

You are right that a small quiescent current is necessary for correct idle operation. But much of the discussion here is about the misconception that a certain ambient temperature is necessary for correct operation by design.

By the way it is in fact imaginable that aging has caused the quiescent current to become too small at low temperature.

There are several possible temperature dependent fault mechanisms caused by aging, so I wouldn't make a guess in this case.

"The regulatory hurdles for starting a brewery are even more intense"

What I was able to find just now says that's a qualitatively different thing, mostly pertaining to Prohibition and its end and taxes, and does not require a proctological safety exam of your supply chain, manufacturing, etc.

As in, get a lawyer and jump through various hoops, as well as maybe some lower level government food safety licencing. It obviously makes a difference when you're selling something that's intrinsically poisonous to microbes by what a chemist once told me was merely the least toxic alcohol.

Problems are not a lack of desire. I didn't address "can't" for exactly that reason: if you tried and it didn't work out, then of course it's a valid reason to feed formula.
My in-laws all wear t-shirts that say things like "Get in, we're doing freedom and shit" with a picture of some founding fathers in sunglasses, or that simply say "FREEDOM" with a flag, or a 1776 in red white and blue etc. They also believe in the drug war (the smattering of drug problems among them is an irony I'll save for another comment I guess), they believe in walls, and a police force with near absolute power (because the good guys are the good guys, what could go wrong?). They're fine with protestors being arrested, and if they're roughed up a little bit in the process that's OK too. They're good with banning books in schools that might be "indecent."

Anyway, I agree. To them, and I would count them in the demo you describe, "Freedom" is just a logo and "small government" is just a meaningless slogan. It has more to do with their specific cultural and moral fears.
It's fine to compare language design, and it can make for interesting discussion, but that's not what HN has been lately. It's just "Rust is better because it has x feature."
