I think it's very difficult to know just from observation if there are more issues today. For one, it wasn't that long ago that many cities had ordinances that actually banned disabled people from being out in public. And things like autism were not diagnosed.

The fact that MLS came out with an ad campaign shouting themselves as the 5th Major Sport was such an abysmal PR campaign, that I just cannot ever respect them after the fact.

They are literally celebrating the fact that they are not EPL, they are not Championship, they are not League 1 and on down the line. WTF! were they thinking that self deprecation was going to work at that level???!!!! You know, when you're bored with NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, there's us little guys called MLS. No, you're not trying to buy a house, we're a real sports league. For reality not for realty!!!

Has Hinge avoided the dark patterns of the Match Group and/or Bumble (not sure if they were subsumed yet) in which men are shown "likes" only as bait to purchase a premium product and only rarely show up as potential matches? If so, what is their monetization strategy? It is fairly clear that a successful result in a dating app means at least one less user, polygamy and "ENM" notwithstanding. I believe that some apps have used success and subsequent loss of user as marketing to "prove it works" but I haven't seen that tactic lately. How does Hinge work?

Aside and FWIW I just starting using Bumble/Tinder after years of refusing, which came after years of a (disastrous) relationship developed via friend-of-a-friend-of-a-relative and I can't fathom how things work anymore since I don't encounter anybody of the gender I'm into in contexts where it's appropriate to initiate contact. I know the tropes and standard advice (hobbies, church, etc) but it ain't working anymore.
I don’t know. I feel like there’s something to be said about building something on a limb because you’re curious and then seeing where it takes you. I feel like that approach, albeit less organized, can also lead to a great product because you end up naturally spending more and more of your time on a curiosity.
Neural networks operate on floating point values. Are you saying that e.g. 64 bits of resolution isn't enough to accurately model a neuron? The idea of significant figures in physics puts a limit on what is useful in practice.

I could be wrong, but I feel that digital vs analog is a pretty meaningless distinction in this case, as past a certain level of resolution in practice this is noise.

This doesn't even get into the fact that we know the universe is quantum in nature and that systems have a finite amount of possible states. The universe does not have a "infinite" state resolution in the way you are talking about, merely a large one.
That's a stretch, Amazon's policies are entirely optional, you don't have to sell on Amazon. It was the seller's self-interested choice to prioritize Amazon placement because consumers love Amazon.

The fact is that consumers continually choose to entrust Amazon the power to pick on their behalf, making it their consumer choice. If sellers leave, consumers often choose Amazon over the seller. Amazon can only "bury" merchants in their search results because consumers continue to be satisfied with what Amazon finds for them. If consumers found Amazon's search results lacking, they can find the missing sellers on other websites. Practically every consumer knows how to buy things online outside of Amazon, a lot of them do it all the time.

Personally, I choose to buy many better and cheaper things outside Amazon. I do not choose Amazon to find any of my stuff. That choice has always been extremely easily available to any consumer, but they don't choose it. Consumers aren't being denied a choice, they have chosen: they chose Amazon's higher fee marketplace.
If you're not married or a domestic partner you might want to talk to a lawyer. You don't know what your partner or friend might not be allowed access to depending on your local laws or the business's requirements. But power of attorney will remain with.... your attorney.
A friend of a relative had their house burglarized over a weekend. The burglars took their time and took apart everything, cutting all pictures out of their frames, etc. If a written password existed, they would have found it.

The "give it to an attorney" plan would also worry me, unless I knew exactly who/what/when/where/why/how access was controlled and GUARANTEED (after all, an attorney's system could break down as easily as any other).
With interface-typing, is there a right way to use the type system to declare "this function takes a (statically-certifiable) positive integer", not because it would fail to output a value for other numbers, but because its output would be incorrect or meaningless?

In scientific programming I've often wanted that, to push asserting particular constraints on values to the caller and/or the type system (whether that's compile-time or runtime type checks). But those constrained types would always match the interface of their unconstrained forms.

That doesn’t solve overly attached partial captures in any way though?

Except possibly by driving you towards splitting the structure if you also always write full precise capture clauses?
The takeaway should be that propaganda and limiting the options to the two worst via gerrymandering, FPP and other broken voting systems results in two options which are fundamentally the same but differ on fear of crime vs paying lip service to diversity. The very fact that you're attempting to lay the blame on swing voters and aspirational immigrants is proof that the system is fundamentally broken and completely uncoupled from the wants or needs of the majority.

Hugely popular measures that actually help the people rather than the rich are rejected bipartisanly at every single level of government in every country where murdoch reigns using the same garbage propaganda whilst privacy is removed, police powers are increased, and trillions of taxpayer dollars are sent to coal and oil barons or arms dealers based on votes taken in the middle of the night.

At a local level the 1% of NIMBYs are listened to over the 70% of people that actually want low carbon, more convenient transport or money to be spent on local parks and activities or increased housing density whilst budgets for the local PD to LARP as a special forces team are doubled without consultation and yet another poor neighborhood is demolished for highways. This happens no matter whether the local pro-facist or shit-light party is in power.

Painting a rainbow or the local indigenous flag on an intersection is completely meaningless when both parties agree to defund and privatise social services (or at the very best one party defunds and sells these things to their buddies for a song while the other party undoes 10% of the damage and pats themselves on the back).

When you burn the crop there goes your nutrients in the cloud of smoke. When you grind it you leave everything there for the living soil to break down. You cited sugarcane further up in the thread. Even with that crop there is a lot of interest to develop better methods that don't require burning, because this leads to lung cancer or other issues in the local community.

Is that actually true (if by "human body" you mean a humanoid body, rather than the vacuous-in-this-context sense of a body of a human)? I wouldn't be surprised if the ability to feel developed earlier than the human-like body.

> Unfortunately, we realized that's just not the case for the vast majority of companies.

Nor is DevOps, but that's changing. And as more things shift-left and get actioned in a CI/CD pipeline, companies are going to want more automation, checks, analysis, etc., of all their digital assets. That includes documentation - spell checks, auto-generated and static, checking for broken links, warnings about docs that haven't been reviewed or updated for X days, and more.

That's the real answer to this problem: how do we keep documentation close to the context to which it relates, AND allow it to be manipulated, tested, and more, all through automated business logic? Solve that.
`Meh. Just because "it's out of scope of what I planned" doesn't mean that with a few critiques/pointers along the way that it couldn't be better.

I understand the "let's do this for the lulz and see what happens/learns/etc", but once you feel like it is "good enough" that you post it to the public (for let's face it, publicity/showing off/self-promotion), you HAVE to expect that some people might think it isn't good enough and here's some ideas to make it better.

That's not to say that what was posted is shite. It's just with a bit more...it could be even more.
You could probably use Shamir Secret Sharing so you'd need to have k out of n parts to recover the information. Downside is that this complicates what is supposed to be simple.

Yet again another threading implementation which ignores the Actor programming model. This must be a systemic failure in both academia for not teaching students about Actors, and the industry for barely talking about Actors. It’s like the old saying, those that dont understand Unix are doomed to reimplement it, poorly.

For those readers that haven’t encountered Actors, its more than just a threading model. It allows messaging (important for interaction). An Actor is essentially a class with a std::vector<std::function void(…)> member, and a public messaging function which pushes the message with variable arguments to the queue. The message invokes the scheduler, which sequentially invokes the queued function. It eliminates locks for the client, which is the key benefit. It keeps Actors on a specific thread to use hot caches, unless work stealing moves the Actor to a free thread. The Actor abstraction is higher level than threads.

I’m sure the author will come to realise the benefits of Actors once he has a decade more experience under his belt, after which just like me he’ll be disappointed at academia and the industry for not talking about the benefits of the Actor programming model.

Shameless plug : my own Actor implementation, used in real world 24h/365 embedded projects:

You can do that without burning, it just costs more money which is why they prefer burning and polluting local air until regulations inevitably catch up and outlaw the practice for good in the future. Just because its cheaper to do things like burn your waste or dump it into the rivers and oceans than to do something more sustainable, doesn't make it a great idea on the whole.

Ask HN: Cheap VPS with 1TB HDD?
I need to host a static website with several 100s GB of text files. I'm looking for a small VPS that has however 1TB of HDD. 1 CPU, 1GB RAM, 100Mb NET are more than enough for the purpose. Unfortunately all the VPS plans that I can find do not allow for such small requirements with that much storage. They only scale the whole VPS, so if I want 1TB storage I would have to buy like 8-thread CPUs, 64GB RAM, 1Gb NET etc. I know there are "storage VPSes" but these do not allow webservers, they only work as network storage and it means I would have to pay for 2 VPSes.
Any recommendations?
I think blockchain keys could work for identity, but you need another layer for authentication. Perhaps a smart contract could be used to generate and authenticate one time access codes?

That's 94%, and it was true vs the original strain immediately after vaccination.

Interesting. I'd love to know a bit more about why these harm testability for you. I'm not sure I've felt the same way.

Especially the global scope bit. Even statics fields are too much global scope in my opinion, not too little.
I agree you need incentives for people to write documentation. Part of documentation is keeping it up to date (as shown in the demo video, keeping code in sync) but another important part is providing a way for newcomers to learn. Reference documentation is different to teaching documentation. Maybe a good platform can encourage this.
Actually yes I would expect them to. They should keep up to date with changes - laws change all the time. New equipment is created for medicine all the time. These might be pretty fundamental and are not soft skills.

Maybe the base "lawyering" or "nursing" does change but they'll have seen a lot more examples and be able to pattern match quicker.

Also I'd rather a 20 year nurse was the Charge Nurse rather than a 5 or 10 year one, I'd expect they'd know more how to lead others (although time served isn't always an indicator of a good leader).
It's pretty wild seeing experts claiming that AI isn't sentient within a few days of a post lambasting the ethical myopia of experts self-assured about the subjective experience of others.

A little over 35 years ago, you'd have had a room full of experts arguing that babies can't even feel pain.

No matter how much time passes from Socrates' wisest utterance of "I do not think that I know that which I do not know" we still as a society and species overlook the value in being willing to say "I don't know" and in not giving a concrete answer until we do.

Even if I agree that I think it's unlikely that AI is there yet, the degree to which we don't really understand sentience in humans, let alone across the animal kingdom, means 90% of the conversation that was taking place was BS.

I don't know what others necessarily experience, and the more different they are than me right now, the less about their experience I concretely know.

And the reluctance to admit that led to the torture of babies less than half a century ago.

On some topics, we really should be more ready to acknowledge our own ignorance.
If they can't, they're wildly overvalued.

> Dumping would be if you leave it somewhere and never go back.

This is not true. It is dumping trash whether you go back or not.

> The issue is that they took away an area that the students were able to use for unstructured fun,

This is astonishing entitlement. No, just because you used something for fun does not mean the owner can't start using it differently. In particular, it does not mean owner can't start protecting animals there.

This level of entitlement is probably one of reason why majority of Stanford students 83% were for abolishment, dehousing or at least reform of these groups.

> for the sake of something that was evidently not very important to them (they care about the salamanders enough to take away the students' lake access, but not enough to keep the lake filled),

This is both lie and manipulative. It was massive California wide draught. There was also restauration of biome upstream going on (biome better for salamanders). They did periodically let some water in to allow them breeding, it was not good for people.

But, even if the salamanders became victim to that drought, that would not imply what you said.
And the Oglala Aquifier. But at least that water crisis is in the future not right now.
So far I have found no Rust insertion-ordered collections which supports removing items without scrambling items (necessary for editing a key-value INI file) with O(log n) reads/writes, though you can use a vector with O(n) accesses which takes O(n^2) to lookup every key, which is probably good enough in most cases.

And non-tree-shaped object graphs are not a library concern, but permeate entire applications; if you want to rewrite an app using shared mutability in Rust, you must either write code awkwardly with Cell/RefCell (and RefCell has runtime overhead), restructure the whole program in one Big Rewrite, or fallback to unsafe accesses (at this point, outside of multithreading C++ is a better Unsafe Rust than Unsafe Rust).

Choosing Open Wisely (2021)
I respect your testimonial although it does not match what I've been told. Ultimately everyone's treatment plan will be different according to their needs and the recommendations of their endocrinologist. If you feel great, and your blood labs look great, then 200-300 is fine for you individually.

Unfortunately, it's not a one size fits all solution with a lot of different opinions as far as what constitutes therapeutic dose vs supraphysiological. 1200 is what a young adult male would have, sometimes more in certain populations. If someone is sedentary and does not engage in high intensity activities, or is overweight, I could see them being prescribed a low dose because of the risk of adverse effects.

Since you appear knowledgeable and passionate about the topic: In your medical practice, what dosages of which compounds are you commonly prescribing your patients to achieve what levels for TRT? Do you have experience with trans-males? If so, what levels are you trying to maintain with them specifically in your practice?
But this is natural because men like almost everyone while women like maybe a few men per day. It's not because their ratio is wildly out of balance, here in EU it is close to 50/50 and 60/40 in the U.S. In some countries like Peru, Tinder has considerably more women than men, and yet, men still get very few likes vs women there. It's not about numbers, it's about behaviour. It's never difficult for a woman to get laid vs man.
This is Piketty, and therefore has a pile of non-US data to point to on this front as well. (Though USians are typically quick to ignore any evidence that isn't from the US.)

I think it would lead to some antitrust issues to be honest. McDonalds sells you the cups, the bags, the beef, etc. They are really a business-to-business business and you the franchisee are the business that is actually consumer facing.

Someone should build an app where women have to create an “application” form, and men have to fill it out. If women are the choosy ones, let them be upfront with their choosiness and adjust the level of friction that men have to go through to contact them.

Methylphenidate is not an amphetamine derivative.
It’s not natural because if you go to a bar or other in person event, the dynamics are much less gender-skewed.
Note that this is inherent to the current dating app models. Everyone I have spoken to who uses dating apps, male or female, intuitively understands this. The best strategy for men is to spam matches and messages as much as possible and hope you grab someone's attention. The best strategy for women is to filter heavily and pick randomly from the ones who get through and hope they aren't a weirdo. But those strategies, while optimal for individuals, make the experience overall disappointing.

I wonder if there is a way (in the game theory sense) to craft a strategy that is both optimal for individuals and the community, and then design an app around that.
The problem with this logic is that real estate values are out of control. In my city not uncommon to see stories of families who have owned a home for generation or more being forced to sell it because the value of the land went from $200k to $800k in 10 years and is now taxed as such.
