What’s wrong with that? It’s fucking irritating. It’s not my job to do marketing for them, and frankly I resent constantly being asked for feedback on every interaction. I bought a lightbulb. Please rate it! I bought toilet paper. Please rate it! It’s like being around a really insecure person who’s constantly trying to win your favor. Just be a good person and it will happen, but try to do it and you make it way worse.
Fun story: I live in very rural Oregon and a few years ago a friend bought an all electric for use around town. He had to bring it to town with a truck and trailer because it didn’t have near enough range to get here on its own. Works out great for him though.

The additional charging coverage contemplated by the article would have let him drive it home.
> Mr. President, this is an oil war

Mr President (FDR) knew full well as he had instituted an oil embargo on Japan in July 1941.
Austria maintains neutrality (they are not NATO members), so I'm not surprised and agree that this is a pretty good unbiased review of the situation.

I thought it was really interesting that the M777s we've been giving the Ukrainians don't come with the PIK systems allowing them to use Excalibur rounds. I assume this is because we don't want the Russians to get that technology should (read: when) those systems get captured.
What Functions and Why Functions

The point of that napkin math is not to get an exact prediction, it's to get a order-of-magnitude estimate to see if this study is different from any other of the large amount of "promising drug cures X" articles that never actually turn out to work.

I concede that if a quick remission is extremely rare that does change the outcome, though I don't know how common that it.

Picking 'Total number of "cancer studies"' was not arbitrary. A similar article could have been crated for e.g. "promising drug cures breast cancer" so you need to take all of them into account. Actually probably every study conducted of all high-profile diseases that are likely to wind up on the HN frontpage - in a counterfactual universe we could be discussing a miracle Alzheimer drug or the like.
Number 10 to me is one that hasn't quite come true but is looking on the horizon. Automation and global trade are the golden goose that has brought us enormous prosperity. We've failed to distribute the spoils in a way that makes even feel the progress. Especially in the developed countries the lower and middle class haven't been taken part in the more recent growth that's mostly been benefitting the mega wealthy and the extremely poor globally who've been lifted out of abject poverty. I think average people on developed countries would soon benefit again as a global equilibrium will be reached. However, I'm concerned that the backslash is growing to the point where we'll end up killing the golden goose. Nationalist, authoritarian movements seem to be rising and so are insane conspiracy theories.
I took a current events class in high school that challenged us to read three articles for every topic. One from the left, one from the right, and one on the fence.

This exists as a website today:

While I'm not sure of the value prop from your app today, perhaps there are ways to help inform the user regarding what your "trust index" means to them.

I think one of your cool features is the "duplication detection" where you find how many times a passage or article is duplicated on the internet. I would find that especially useful to the "trust index" if one side had significantly more articles duplicated than the other.
Then the doctor is doing a bad job.

I consider myself very fortunate that I have very vivid and often lucid dreams - for 50 years since I was a child. My dreams are like cinematic productions - crazy camera work and all. I dream in color and sound. Many of my dreams have soundtracks. I often wake up in the morning with the soundtrack still playing in my head and I turn on my phone and record. I have dozens of them now. When I was ten years old I had a dream where there was a credit role at the end of the dream. None of my friends had dreams like that so I realized at a young age that I had a gift. It's obviously a very personal gift as no one else can fully experience my dreams. I do write the good ones down and share them with close friends. Of course the nightmares are also very vivid too, and also sometimes have soundtracks. I consider myself a creative person but certainly not exceptionally so. But I do feel blessed to have interesting dreams that I remember.
If we accept this to be true, why and how should it be used as an argument for economic interventionism?
It's where people point out painful truths about society that we're supposed to obediently ignore.
Which is why I get annoyed when Dr. prescribe them more liberally than I would; for things that they'll admit are probably viral.

No. Bugger off and give me the meds. I know my kid. I know what she has. And the culture confirms it three days layer every time.

As the word changes, do the green letters I may have gotten always remain green? They remain valid letters and always stay in the same location?
Does this support shared note-taking - I tried fast forwarding through the video tour (please consider making it shorter) and it mentioned changing repositories so in that same line of thought - is multi-repository note taking possible, each shared with different people?
This is just classic "Gish gallop" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gish_gallop

The article itself refutes some of these opinions/arguments and i am sure that if one consults the referenced books everyone of the above statements would be demolished with Facts. I can do it myself but it would take me too much time.

Some examples;

>and it's spent on the 'office', not on the individuals.

Distinction without a difference.

>More practically, those individuals actually do a 'job' - they as individuals are not the same thing as their positions;

Only in a biological sense; In the Social sense they are nothing without their positions.

>Moreover, these 'capitalist insinuations' are effectively falsehoods

The data is right there in the article.

>These arguments are grounded in a kind of populist jealousy

Ha, Ha, Ha !

>Because the leadership of any group will always be relatively small, irrespective of their means of ascension to power, legitimacy, competency

This is not Leadership but "privilege by birth".
No; but I want it to be
Maybe start just by reading blogs and tutorials, find areas to concentrate on.

After you get started, maybe get on board with some Open Source communities. There are lots of helpful people who will be willing to chat and help you, if you're minimally competent in the project. That human interaction can be a big booster, IMHO.
This is not cheating.

Maybe I am being too cynical but I think the author knows this too but I think he wanted to frame it this way to get more attention and indirectly promote his company
Crinkler, the compressing linker, is really interesting. This link inadvertently shows the file_id.diz for Crinkler rather than anything relevant to the rest of Elevated; but honestly I always found the Crinkler stuff to be fascinating.

Hi! I am most excited for Orion browser (Mac & iPad).

Orion on my M1 Mac has effectively replaced Firefox for daily use. The battery life is incredible, and support for extensions is excellent (including uBlock Origin).

Once again battery life is much better than Firefox. It is somewhere between a 50-100% improvement over Firefox. In general, performance and latency is at least as good Safari (but better because of uBlock Origin).

Bugs and compatibility issues have been present, especially early on. They have been very rare in my daily use.

From my (informal) tests, many of these compatibility issues are problems with Safari too (just not Firefox/Chrome). In practice, it doesn't affect my daily use and I use Firefox as a backup.

On my iPad, extension support is not great (and buggy). However, the builtin adblock is about 80-90% as effective as uBlock Origin. Significantly better than anything you can pay for as a safari extension.

I have never used the search engine, but I the work on the browser (Orion) is extremely impressive, both on Mac & iOS.
Arguably, those that can change their timing makes it cheaper for those that can’t.
No. You're just remembering the last time infrastructure "fun" exploded on you, and the time you spent fixing it.
Unfortunately, it was always out of stock for me :(
Good question.

Fwiw, I personally have no issue with the price.

That said, I know people who do, and I have pointed them to Libre Office.

Folks who complained, but who would probably like to know about a free version (I didn’t know there was one):

- retirees on very limited income

- unemployed people

- folks of limited means who only use any of these tools 1-5 times a year, but really need the specific MS tools those 1-5 times

I will point these people to the free web app option moving forward.

I realize that the free version won’t get a lot of marketing since it produces no revenue, but it may be prudent to have an evangelist hang out in online communities of old people, caregivers, and unemployed people and keep them informed. It would help the MS image.

I realize that such a person might exist, but the relatively large number of people who complain to me about Office pricing makes me think that the word is not being spread efficiently.
she is unhappy with myself having chosen to be self employed and is ashamed and does not know what to tell people. each time i visit her i have to endure mental abuse when she ridicules my choices and suggests all kinds of useless or pointless alternative career paths which will permanently close the door on everything i’ve worked for for nearly 25 years.
Async in something like C# is much less painful precisely because it doesn't try to be a zero-cost (or at least as low cost as possible) abstraction. When the language can allocate stack frames on the heap implicitly as needed, and there's GC to clean them up, things "just work".
I agree almost entirely. I am open-minded to the idea that there's some amount of transition-to-electric that is positive, but it's entirely in terms of the counterfactual question. Are we switching gas to electric (which itself isn't entirely helpful in every respect but definitely net helpful) or keeping private cars when we'd otherwise be moving away from private cars? Surely it's a mix. But given that we have limited resources, we should be pushing almost entirely on the move away from car-dependency, so to the extent that electric car funding is taking away from that, it's a bad thing.

Electric cars are not a solution to enough of our problems, and they are indeed enabling the continuation of most of everything terrible about car-dependent planning.

FWIW, the best resources for these topics I urge everyone to check out are r/fuckcars and YouTube channel NotJustBikes and the non-profit Strong Towns (all of which are actually not just knee-jerk anti-car incidentally)
You are not the only one and I would like to think that I am still perfectly capable of having fun. Maybe it is a generational thing, but I find emojis immensely distracting and impairing my ability to read as my eyes will fixate on the emoji first rather than the text itself. Reading documentation recently was pure torture when someone had insisted on sprinkling emojis over it. What is worse, it usually is pure decoration rather than meaning so I am almost tempted to write a tool to rip them out to make reading easier for me.
I had a professor who said that the first thing a GA discovers is that you didn't describe the problem carefully enough.

Why would researchers want to be at PARC if financially it’s same as universities?

I'm not sure if C# async was derived from F#, but it definitely looks very similar. The main difference is that in F# async is vastly more customizable (but also slower, because the compiler can't make certain assumptions due to said customizability.

Elevated is one of the most atmospheric, cinematic demos I've ever seen, and the fact that it takes only a fraction of the disk space of the icon used to represent it in the file-manager is ridiculous.
Thanks for the response! Kneejerkingly that feels weird, but that's surely because I've never been apart of cold emails/messages like that. I guess I just have to make that part of my new normal.

The problem with Zipf’s law in language is there are dozens and dozens of different explanations for it, each plausible and well-motivated. For any particular explanation to be convincing, it will have to make novel testable predictions, something which is rarely done.
fwiw...AOL also introduced a web browser within their client and provided its users with 2mb of web hosting space. I hosted a bunch of my first web sites using it and learned about FTP.

+1 for Mimestream! Fantastic client. I'm hoping they'll add support for other services like Fastmail through JMAP but honestly, just Gmail support alone makes the app worth it.
I think so. I understood it immediately; but I've also been dabbling in the self-hosted space for a bit.
Super ironic, from what I can tell, the GP comment is not having a back and forth debate with you, he's just posting a normal counterpoint, and then you somehow take it personally and post the "someone is wrong on the internet" comic as a retort, when it's literally you that's the guy in the cartoon.

It's good to hear that media literacy is being taught like that in high schools. Education on the topic is the best sure-fire solution in the long term.

We really like AllSides but where I think our product differs is that we say that sides don't really matter if you get to see everything reported on the story from all publishers.

If you go to an article from the right in our app, we'll inject content from the left (and everyone else) in-context when you tap on a highlighted piece of text. And vice-versa, if you go to an article from the left, you'll also see reporting from the right (and everyone else). You don't have to go looking for the other articles.

A clever news reader will go out and read several articles from different viewpoints on a particular story, but the idea here is that it shouldn't be a manual process when technology can present it to you conveniently.

Cool idea regarding duplicate detection, but it would have to be from a neutral perspective and not point at the left/right as that will only widen divides further. Maybe a list showing all the details that appeared in a story ordered by the number of articles that covered each.
I was actually looking for MX Vertical but it is not available in my country :(
Ask HN: Why do you write documentation?
Mostly everyone I talk to says they don't like to write documentation. Why is that?

What ultimately forces your hand and compels you to document things?

What are examples of great documentation (i.e. easy to write and/or consume) that you've seen?
The point is that they have much fewer of them, not that they have none.

Not having to withstand thousands of explosions per minute (whatever RPM the engine is turning at, times the number of pistons in the engine) as a requirement is an extreme advantage.

I think that one thing that we really need to revisit in PLs is sorting out different kinds of comments. Like, in most languages, a comment is just whitespace, with no semantic distinctions. More recently, docstrings got some special handling. But what's really needed is a kind of comment that's specifically about commenting out code; ideally, working on syntax tree level (so you can comment out one entire {...} block, say), and with the compiler being aware that the stuff inside is code, and handling it accordingly for purposes such as these.
> Another way to think about this is that people who are cost conscious cannot adjust their schedules to save money.

Huh? cost conscious people cannot adjust their schedule? Then they're not really cost conscious are they, otherwise they would! "I'm a cost conscious person, and I want to go to Hawaii.. TOMORROW! oh, the flight is 3k.. well, I'm not changing my schedule" Cost conscious people are masters of adjusting their schedule to save money. They'll buy the flight that leaves Tuesday and comes back Thursday to save 30 bucks.
> Nah. You're an (extreme) edge case.

False.
I never understood why this is such a surprise? The frequency of a word is proportional to its rank in the frequency table... what else would it be? It always struck me as circuitous logic, or a truism? But I'm not a math person so I'm probably oversimplifying it.

Your "attack" is someone else's "well-executed and informed financial strategy."

Absent a central authority that determines legitimacy, it's not clear why we should simultaneously accept the cryptocurrency community's churlish attitude towards financial stability and the crocodile tears around being the victims of said volatility.

Speaking from experience - yes you can create a LLC without being a US citizen or green card holder. You also can get bank accounts with Wise and Mercury for your company without traveling to the US.

Wait until you see how much stock Zuckerberg has been selling.
Personally, I expanded on this to enter a dream state at will in quiet, comfortable circumstances. I find it fun to run my own mental holodeck.

I dropped regular lucid dreaming once I gained this ability and focused on improving “dreaming” at will.

Interestingly, I haven’t had any lucid dreaming since starting antipsychotic medication. Hasn’t affected entering states at will. If anything, it’s made it easier because I have much clearer cognition and the difference reality and imagination is more well-defined.

The body and mind is fascinating. :)

If spontaneous remission is super rare it does change the conclusion, yeah.

(Tangentially I think your stats are a little messed up there - you calculated the expected number of people out of 43000 surviving, not the trials returning a false positive. Assuming 0.0016% that chance is astronomically small, so your argument is stronger.)

If you think a spaghetti monolith is bad, just wait until you encounter a 100+ micro-services spaghetti monster. My WTF record has reach dizzying now heights just listening to my friend talking about a few of the problems he encountered working on it.
It's not perfect but if they're using something like Braze you can block it by using a dns ad block like nextdns. Then you should only get notifications triggered by app logic and not by 3rd party marketing CMS whatever solutions.

A huge percentage of economic activity has a strong correlation with real world utility. Food, clothing, housing, transportation, entertainment, childcare, medical care, banking services are all dependent on real utility being delivered in a short timeframe. If a top rated restaurant hired a new chef that was terrible and then failed it's health inspection and gave all of its customers food poisoning they would quickly lose perceived value.

I would agree that perceived value is more important than real value, but it is risky to place bets on there being a big difference between the two for a long time.
I don't see how you can use this for any applications which have state that's not common with the source of the request. When I was a SRE we used to do these things called "dark launches" which were a type of canary analysis where we'd mirror production traffic onto a build we wanted to promote. If the error rate breached the current error rate, the build was kicked back. It was a really nice system, and this reminds me of that.
Complex systems tend to have complex control systems and feedback loops that compensate for perturbations and try and maintain homeostasis.

But when these feedback loops break, for whatever reason-- reaching the limits of the elasticity and controls, for instance-- they tend to abruptly de-compensate and fall apart.

This looks sudden: more and more slack is being taken up, until the actual compensatory mechanism is exhausted, and then smack, it's all over.

It's like when you get hypothermia, and then vasoconstriction to maintain core temperature stops... and you start shedding lots of heat through your skin, and shivering ends... then you feel hot and want to take off your clothes. Your body is doing many different kinds of things to try and fight getting cold, and once one falls apart "because it's too cold" -- the rest fall like dominoes.
Of course it would never happen to you. You grew up in OR, so you never tried to pump your own gas. That situation only happens to people from out of state who come to OR and start pumping their own gas, not knowing the law against it.
You have been radicalized.
All of this same abusive workplace culture was also well-documented in Bill Buford's 2006 book "Heat." In the book he does an unpaid internship for Mario Batali at his restaurant Babo. And many of the behaviors that would ultimately take him down are also present.
