Well, I'm saying that he had no options. He went to a (very nice) facility to die. They kept him comfortable and relatively pain-free.

Any other option he had, should he have wished to pursue it, would have been outside of the Danish social medical system.

That may be "better" than what would have happened in the USA under Medicare/Medicaid, but my point was there really wasn't a choice in the matter for him. He didn't have to pay for it, other than the taxes he paid his whole life, so I guess there's that.

This is a discussion about computers being slow. As in a person asks a computer to do something and the human waits while the computer does it.

Maybe it's been stated already by someone else here but I really hope that CO2 pricing on the major Cloud platforms will help with this.
It boils down to resources used (like energy) and waste/CO2 generated.

Software/System Developers using 'good enough' stacks/solutions are externalising costs for their own benefit.

Making those externalities transparent will drive alot of the transformation needed.

If I understand dataflow's example correctly you don't need the Select at the end:

var x = Enumerable.Range(1,50)
.Where((num, index) => num % 4 == 1 && index % 3 == 0)
.Skip(2)
.ToArray();

That computes the same thing as their Python snippet: [25,37,49]. Of course, what this is actually computing is whether the number is congruent to 1 modulo 4 and 3 so it was a weird example, but here's how you'd really want to write it (since a number congruent to 1 modulo 4 and 3 is the same as being congruent to 1 module 12):

var x = Enumerable.Range(1,50)
.Where(num => num % 12 == 1)
.Skip(2)
.ToArray();

Rewriting that Python example to be a bit clearer for a proper one-to-one comparison:

y = [t for t in range(1, 50, 4) if t % 3 == 1][2:]

That enumerate wrapper was unnecessary. I don't recall a way, in LINQ, to generate only every 4th number in a range, but I also haven't used C# in a few years so my memory is rusty on LINQ anyways.

What you're missing is that C# example works on any Enumerable. And it's very hard to explain how damn important and impressive this is without trying it first.

Yes, it's more verbose, but I can swap that initial array for a List, or a collection, or even an external async datasource, and my code will not change. It will be the same Select.Where....
This is survivorship biased and does not pertain to software or tech exclusively. Same think happens everywhere: from any niche informational space to rumors on social media. What is most interesting to me it can cut you twice, because you don’t see 2 things: other advice by silent expert, that can be as good or better, but also when most popular advice fails in practice for someone, other than the author. Thus not only you are missing out on not seeing the best, but you also maybe looking at something subpar, because there is no efficient feedback loop that would differentiate appropriately.
Ask HN: Can 5G Wireless Effect Epidermal Immunity?
PLEASE NOTE: I do not wear tinfoil on my head. If you just want to reply that I am "crazy" please do not. This is a serious psychological question and I expect serious answers.

I have been looking into 5G millimeter wavelength penetration of the skin and I kept reading that it is safe because not only penetrates to a depth of 1mm (maybe 2mm, it depends who you read).

I know that both Langerhans and T cells are prolific in this same layer of the skin. And these cells, when triggered, send immune signals to the whole body. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2950871/)

https://journals.asm.org/cms/10.1128/CMR.00034-18/asset/5d41103c-42a8-4de5-b6d1-f86fc09ad368/assets/graphic/cmr.00034-18-f0001.jpeg

So have there been any studies on this effect? I have searched and cannot find anything. I know CD8 T Cells are effected by calcium ion channels and these channel might be opened by these EMFs triggering higher calcium entry into the T cell and stimulating an immune response.

So are we overlooking the fact that 5G can effect the immune system even though there is no heating?

> An automatic transmission is a non-trivial amount of weight--especially on the small cars present in the EU--and affects gas mileage tremendously.

This is a case of 'citation needed'. It's not like manual gearboxes are weightless. Then there the likes of CVT.

What do they add is to manufacturing costs. A simple manual transmission is, well, simple, and has looser tolerances (the driver compensates). Automatic transmissions require more exotic materials - in the past we had to use whale oil, which drove their costs to unsustainable prices in non-US markets.

I am reminded of a study where the hue of lights in a factory was changed, and the workers were reported happier and more productive. Then they changed it again (actually, to the original hue), and the workers reported being happier still and more productive!

So what lighting hue was best? Irrelevant, the important thing was that workers perceived that management was paying attention to their wellbeing.

I think something similar is happening in Windows (and Mac!) desktops, where they change small things "for productivity", and the majority of people will think it's an improvement, just because it's different.

I’m Gerad, CTO of Fortunately. I started Fortunately to help families with personal finance decisions. There’s tons of great (and bad) financial advice out there. And I knew which was which – I studied economics at Stanford and worked in finance.

But I struggled to put my knowledge into practice because it was too general: I knew I shouldn’t leave money in cash, but what about the down payment for my house? I knew I should save for retirement, but how much? I knew I should be saving for my kids’ college in a 529, but how much should I contribute this year? I knew I shouldn’t pay a financial advisor, but how do you answer these questions without one?

Eventually I met Seth, a former actuary who studied economics and math at Yale. He was using simulations to determine whether he’d be better off with an interest-only mortgage or a traditional 30 yr fixed one. We realized that we could use that same approach to provide people with better insight on all sorts of personal finance decisions.

Fortunately is the first tool that really helps people understand the tradeoffs between the major financial decisions in their lives. For example, we help families understand how a bigger mortgage might impact their retirement plans, how much to save in a 401k vs a 529, and how an upcoming purchase should impact asset allocation. We evaluate everything using best-in-class simulations that we license from the same data providers that supply hedge funds and the insurance industry.

Fortunately is free to use to get a financial plan that helps you understand how to save to hit your goals. Eventually, we’re planning on charging a low monthly fee (not a % of assets) to automatically manage your investments.

We’d love to hear your feedback.

Believe me I've tried (by which I mean used it a ton). I'm not a newbie to this. C# is great. Nobody was saying it's unimportant or unimpressive or whatever.

> Yes, it's more verbose, but I can swap that initial array for a List, or a collection, or even an external async datasource, and my code will not change

Excellent. And when you want that flexibility, the verbosity pays off. When you don't, it doesn't. Simple as that.

“Best person for the job” is either a meaningless phrase or a myth, depending on how you choose to define best.

In reality, there are many comparably adequate people for getting any job done, and no clairvoyance that lets us know who among them will deliver the best outcome.

So we resort to picking among the comparably adequate candidates by either broadening “best” to include non-task factors like culture harmony, diversity of perspective, gut feeling, etc

That a bunch of adequate people all came from the same class at the same university is actually pretty plausible, and (subject to tradeoffs) those people will probably even work pretty well as a group because of that shared experience.

I’m not saying its the ideal strategy to only hire that way, but just that it’s not nearly so straightforward as you suggest.
Possibly! Not currently, for sure. It'll have (again, soon) a feature that lets you manually override Recut's choices though, so you could select a meaningful silent part and leave it in.

I think at some point any sort of automation is bound to get something wrong and it'll likely never be perfect, so my goal is to add enough manual control that you're never just stuck with whatever the app decided.

I think the amount of toxin would be much smaller than found in, e.g., CdTe panels (8 g/m^2 of Cd), because they may be very thin. But maybe less well contained?

(I read claims that a house fire under CdTe panels will not make your neighborhood into a superfund site, but don't know how to evaluate them. Is the Te on one side and glass on the other expected keep the Cd in, even at 1200 C?)

There are good reasons to want perovskite cells to be usable. Efficiency can go above 30%, and they are very light and flexible. So, it is great that so many people are working on the problem. I never read anything about them without the person mentioning attempts to improve lifetime.

They might not be so useful in solar farms, but e.g. on high-altitude "dwell" drones that don't land, their advantages would be decisive. They are already favored for those reasons on satellites, where they are free of weather. A dwell drone's useful life might not be more than a couple of years anyway, if only because it gets obsolete, and anyway the motor and batteries wear out.

Anyway the material does seem to have desirable properties besides just being cheap to make.

So, thank you Lea and Sarah, and best of luck!

Fish is fantastic. Some people worry about posix compatibility and stuff, but that only matters if you are copy pasting bash snippets directly to the command line. If you are using bash or zsh as a programming language then you put the code in a file, and run it with that shell - so it doesn't matter what shell you are running.

If you love bash or zsh, and are in the habit of building long complex commands on the command line, then stick with bash or zsh. But if you are just running commands fish is far superior. If you are not a bash/zsh/posix expert fish is a cleaner language and you'll learn it more easily. A fully tricked out zsh might do everything that fish does, but it is very slow compared to fish.
