Patterns in the way code looks in general are invaluable for parsing code quickly especially in areas that you're somewhat familiar with. You can discard/ignore big chunks of code very quickly and go straight to where you think the relevant part is if they look as you'd expect at a glance. If they don't, it's sort of like a cache miss. "What the hell why don't people autoformat their goddamn files before saving" and then read those bits of code just to make sure they're not hiding any surprises, before formatting them properly.

It's the difference between taking, say, 2 seconds to read a method, and 10 or more.

I can only assume people who don't treat code formatting as a rule read every.single.thing.line.by.line.every.time.

That, as an argument, is completely worthless. You don't know how those people lived, how they died, what diseases they had, all you can deduce is that some of them managed to reproduce before keeling over.
There’s so much bloat in the California government that they’d be fine. Especially when you consider the large reserves of many governments. My municipality has 10 years of operating expenses saved up in treasury bills

Discussing differences by race and implying racism are two quite different things. This article engaged in the latter, when only the former appears relevant in light of the facts.

Great piece. Makes sense. Sun is pretty good with everything it shines on. And you can definitely feel it has a positive effect on your mood and your skin.

The point is that the original criticism raised by guerrilla (that democracy should not primarily serve the interests of the majority) is unavoidable.

Democratic political systems can only add friction and delay the execution of the majority will and no democratic system is capable of maintaining immutable rights against a sufficient public interest.

In this sense, the criticism is empty because there is no alternative.
One of my favorite moments at work was coming back to see half the team gathered around one computer, chuckling to each other.

The guy at the keyboard said "now watch this!", hit a few keys, and the team erupted in raucous laughter.

I went over to see what they were looking at. It was an assembly listing from Compiler Explorer.
If they are aware that doing so is putting people with darker skin at mortal risk, it's racism.
Since they paid their money to buy the property, they can paint their house whatever color they damn well please, IMO.

Going to Circle to redeem your USDC for FIAT USD is not the only way of receiving FIAT USD from USDC. You can also sell it for another asset, and sell that for FIAT. Or sell it for FIAT on an exchange.

The OP was about the safety of "holding" fiat on a single exchange vs USDC on your wallet.

Your point about non-custodial wallet risk is a misonemer as this is purely about can you trust yourself more than trust an exchange.
I don’t care if I look old but feel young. Sun exposure helps me sleep properly, lifts my mood, and generally improves most aspects of my life.

Balance is necessary but man, I started balding at 17, looking old is no big deal compared to feeling good.

I think the point is that you can get the same vitamin D dose from a gentle exposure of a lot of skin, or a massive and damaging over-exposure of a small part of your skin, or a spectrum in between.

The same general idea that you could light a room with a single LED die overdriven to thermal death in minutes, or many adequately-cooled underdriven ones virtually indefinitely.

Or maybe more similarly, cooking with a 10kW cutting laser rather than an electric stovetop would make a huge mess of your cookware.

the correct analogy would be that Iowa’s state budget would be in trouble if it were overly reliant on taxes on corn - is that the case?
Maybe then there'll be enough popular support for repealing Prop 13.

People mention the heavy dependence on state income tax. Well, why is that? Compare that to states like Texas that obviously has no state income tax but just has high property taxxes. I actually think this is a way healthier situation.

But in the 70s, voters voted themselves a massive permanent tax break that's even bigger for corporations. When an individual buy a property the tax basis gets reset and recalculated. Not if the property is held in an LLC. So Disney's property tax rates have essentially been frozen since the 1960s.

The standard counterargument is "what about the old people getting kicked out of their homes?" It's an appeal to emotion that doesn't make any sense. First, why are we giving Disney a amssive tax break so some old person on a fixed income doesn't have to downsize from the family home they raised their children in? Second, if we really want to protect those people (and I'm in the camp who thinks we shouldn't) we have the technology to provide needs-based property tax relief in the form of a lower rate or (my preferred option) simply deferring the taxes interest-free until the home is sold or the owner dies.
Inbox zero is a useless metric. You can do the same thing with Inbox 9999+ by just self filtering. Only looking at what you need to look at. Ignoring the fact that you have unread. Just reading the body snippet.

Who cares? We all have thousands of accounts at this point especially if you've been using the internet since the 90s. Learn to just be okay with stuff. Literally not everything that you have is a red badge that needs to be addressed immediately.

I mean if you want to go off of raw files I have multiple tens of millions of files on my computers. Did I make them all? No. I mean most of them are just files that just happened to be there because computers have files.

I don't know my overarching advice to you because it seems like you're paying attention to everything at the same time with equal weighting on everything is that you just stop doing that.
Most of these results appear to be describing homes struck by bullets from gun ranges, so at the very least you should avoid living in the line of fire of a gun range.

If, say, a neighbor did try to stop a robbery by shooting at the perpetrators, and in the process a bullet hit a neighboring home, that would probably be reported as a "shootout" or an "act of heroism" or something, not a "stray bullet".

That’s the thing though. Same body, same mind; you didn’t actually need to shave to feel that way.

Let me guess, bank transfers? Maybe we should think about improving banking security and informing users before we try locking down nearly every piece of consumer electronics on the market. There is no need for these "banking apps" to exist in the first place. What happened to online banking over the web? Where is the accountability of these banks here? Where is the personal accountability from these users?

I really don't buy this argument. If you can't practice basic security and due diligence, you shouldn't have an online banking account, let alone a computer, you should be in a nursing home.
Is there a demo site?
>> understood bidding, but never what was going on

I would blame your teacher for this (im guessing that there was one in club?)

The relation between biding and then strategy of trick taking is something that requires a good teacher that can show where the real game is (the communication in biding and standard language of bidding is especially important and then the understanding of the probability aspects of the game makes it kinda clock for eveybody)

On the other hand - chess ... I really never understood it (the deep game strategy aspects of it, openings and final board positions less so)
By you. Some things are called "racism" unnecessarily, and that causes some harms... But there is still plenty of actual, bona fide Racism that causes bigger harms.

To disregard legitimate concerns about racism because you've grown frustrated with false positives is evidence of a weak morality. It's prioritizing our selfish frustrations over significant harms that other people (the victims of racism) are experiencing.
Not anymore, there's a blanket.
I think that buffer would be even less popular. I can imagine the attack ads already - "California has the highest tax rates and they're not even spending it! Your tax dollars are sitting idle in the hands of <evil bank name of the week>"

The article reads in such a dogmatic way that it raises all of my fake/misleading information flags.
Prop 13 makes it nearly impossible to raise any tax (state or local) including one to fund a buffer or rainy day fund. Prop 8 makes it possible to get a reduction in property tax as values go down. Prop 98 makes it impossible to claw back funds spent on K-12 stuff.
The road example I get, but why do you care what other people do on their property?

We bought our house in 2016, next to an old tear down house. (I’m talking about plants growing inside because the roof doesn’t keep the water out.) Recently someone bought the house, tore it down, and built a million dollar house in its place. The other day, he gets into a fight with my wife—over various things, but among them the fact that he’s mad we won’t clean our porch. I told him that he’s the idiot who built a million dollar house next to people who were happy living next to a tear down for years.

Now before, I felt a little guilty for keeping the pool toys out there all year, but now I’m definitely not going to put them away.
I have written an internal tool where I work that does this for our DevOps/Platform/Infrastructure repos. Basically, you annotate the code, and the annotation points you to somewhere easy to update (Confluence etc.) where you can add notes about the code.

Multiple files, repos etc can have the same reference, so when a CI pipeline runs for a PR on any repo, you get a nice PR comment showing you a tickbox-list of all the other places in the org where this reference exists for you to look at and to make sure you're not breaking something elsewhere, along with a link to wherever observations about this reference are written in prose.
Wouldn’t this be very obvious in certain Asian countries (Japan, South Korea, and China)? Being pale skin is extremely culturally coveted since it’s seen as beauty (also pale skins means you don’t work on the farms so historically speaking, pale skin is like being fat in the medieval times). However, anecdotally I have not noticed any of the stated benefits of “sun exposure” in those countries.

I am extremely bearish on the future of CA, so much so that this is my last week in the state(moving out for good). The state has really shot itself in the foot by driving out stable tradional businesses in the past few years with insane policies that really only favor hollywood and tech. With tech in full meltdown and as long as interest rates keep increasing(and tech stocks falling) the state will face a reckoning unlike any its ever seen.

As social/govt. services dry up, professionals will leave in droves as who wants to pay 10-13% state taxes when alot of other states offer way better tax rates with better quality of life. Think the homeless situation is bad now with tent cities everywhere, wait until the yearly $15B that CA spends on homeless disappears.

I predict a hyper exodus as the state suffers an economic collapse that will take most likely a decade or two to recover from. Lets also not forget that the 20th century was the wettest in the past 2000 years in CA and the 21st century will be very dry(which is normal for this state), so CA's agro economy will rapidly shrink, and water loss will force population out.

Oh and by the way I am a 4th gen. CA resident so its tough for me to acknowledge these facts.
On the Relation Between Outdated Docker Containers, Vulnerabilities and Bugs
This right is here is someone on HN being the paragon of objectivity. How about taking the opposing argument in good faith? He didn’t even say anything about racism in the article and just gave evidence. The second someone mentions racism on HN this comment can be seen everywhere “wow and now X is racist?? So dumb!!” Relax it’s just the internet and try to learn something.
I'm not saying that you can time the market. It's a lot more nuanced than that.

* You don't know the long term path of interest rates. Even the Fed Chair doesn't, because they don't know what will happen with inflation. (They do know the short term timing though, which is why they're not supposed to trade.)

* Even if you're expecting a correction, you don't know when the correction will occur or by how much. It could stay aloft like Wile-E-Coyote after the fundamentals drop out, or crash early in anticipation of the fundamentals changing.

* And when it does fall, you don't know where it will land, nor how many times it will bounce along the way down.
Diversity quotas irrespective of skill, and those that denigrate meritocracy are antithetical to reason.

But from where I sit I do not see any diversity quotas that choose race/gender over skill.
There might be exceptions somewhere, I won't lie. I only know about my corner which is big tech hiring.

What I see is an acknowledgement that much selection in our society (to universities, for jobs, etc) are subjective decisions that incorporate objective and subjective factors. Every student trying to get into Yale has perfect GPA, SATs, and a list of extra-curricular activities as long as my arm. So if they are equal on these measures, why not bring in slightly more folks from races that have been historically disadvantaged to offset past injustices? Is that fair to white students? No. But there is no "fair" way to make a choice like this.

Big tech hiring focus on diversity is much the same - the bar is NOT lowered for women or anyone from a minority race. The last step of hiring before an offer is an objective test of programming ability. And nobody gets through those except on merit. But the FIRST step of hiring for multi-billion dollar companies is to sift through thousands of interview applicants, or contact thousands of applicants on LinkedIn with identical sounding resumes. These steps are HIGHLY subjective and unscientific - they're based on keywords, feel of recruiters, overindexing on past signals (other big tech companies, big universities, etc). The first "screen out" phase of hiring has NEVER been a meritocracy. It's always been a gut feel of who "feels" like they would be a successful candidate.

This is where the diversity initiatives are focused - to try to shift the variables in a subjective non-meritocratic process to - again - offset past racial discriminations to try to even the playing field slightly.

I ask you to have patience with "being lectured about identity politics". I ask you to wonder why you find virtue signals "accusatory" if they're not talking to you or about you. Don't discount those talking about this subject as "woke", or "virtue signalers" or "social justice warriors".

Some of them are overly angry and vitriolic, yes. Some are tired of explaining concepts that are clear and for granted to them, thinking that at this point anyone that disagrees is simply an agitator. Not all show good faith. Some are in it for themselves, and the glory of being holier-than-thou. I'm not going to pretend that doesn't exist.

But most of the concepts being discussed are sound. And there is a lot of fire behind the smoke. There is a lot of past, present, and future "racism" that still needs to be understood, and addressed.
Maybe. It is also plausible that ancestral diets have primed people to react to different diets and needs.
I think HOAs are an elegant way to segregate the population into "people who want to live under HOAs" and "people who would hate to live under HOAs".

Nobody is likely to be happy when these two groups have to live next to each other, so it's an elegant solution to sort the population into more compatible subsets. Everybody wins.
Maybe they want to test the robustness of their processes for power outages?

This is junk science. The authors simply did the ANSI drop-test in a lab test. In the real-world, 99% of bike crashes with death/severe injury are the result of car-crashes -- which the ANSI drop-test does not model correctly at all.

If you want something to exist either finance it or make it. Don't whine that other people aren't building it for free. I'm thankful the API even exists, it'd be easy for them to keep their walled garden totally isolated.

> my _imagination_ is a parlour trick...there's no trick. It's just a thought

There is a trick. You're claiming artistic license as a fictional narrator. That's fine! That's a thing!

But it doesn't work when presenting explanations for the real world. One in which the stock market is a "scam" whose "primary value" is "to keep the sociopaths" busy while it "magnifies wealth discrepancy which is what the sociopaths want" all while if someone other than "they" start winning "they invent a new game, or take the ball and go home" [1].

Evolutionary explanations of sociology have a long history of being deeply flawed. At best, they're arbitrary [2]. As explanations for the present state of the world, they aren't useful. As fictional devices, sure, why not.

[1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31469336

[2] Caveat: evolutionary thinking works when one starts with real-world observations and supposes how they evolved. Cf: the evolution of altruism in humans [a]. It fails when one supposes evolutionary pressures to predict human behavior, e.g. natural selection and social competition exist, herego we should expect our leaders to be sociopaths. Observation, not supposition, before conclusion.

What is the point of collecting, if you don't consume them? Do you even consume? How many of them are still relevant? How many of those items have any relevant worth? Does this harm your live? Or is this separate from important items?

You should figure out which are important, and get rid of the irrelevant. And better start with the biggest storage-waste to free your space. And if you can't decide, remove it all. This reads as if you are in a zone of problems and locked in a decision-problem?
it always comes back to the same argument: crypto is bad because a couple centralized companies handle this all for us just fine, and people in some countries already have great interbank transfers.

also please lose the ad hominem, it is not needed.
Well said in many ways; however, it isn't clear that having more statistics savvy journalists would address the problems associated with media economics and incentives.
Sadly the article talks about sun exposure being a confounder to vitamin D and positive health outcomes, but not about further confounders. If you are already sick you will go out less into the sun.
Most sports where participants could materially benefit from helmet use absolutely do discuss helmets though usage varies from common (e.g. recreational downhill skiing) to almost universal--whitewater kayaking.

Downhill skiing in particular has transition from essential no non-racers wearing a helmet to quite a high percentage in maybe a couple of decades.
