As a reminder, the Japanese ministers who set up the bullet trains resigned in shame when the project overran, it was described in a similar way and generally derided, and is, of course, now a symbol of the nation and vital to the economy and general life for a lot of people there.

Infrastructure is expensive, hard, and takes a long time. It always will be, but that doesn't mean it isn't worth doing. I'll take what little infrastructure that isn't car-centric we can get.
You are absolutely wrong in thinking Gerrymandering does not affect Congressional popular vote. It absolutely does. Especially in non-Presidential years. There are secondary effects you are ignoring with this incorrect belief. In recent years, since SCOTUS abandoned voting rights, the closure of polling stations also affects voting numbers.

We do not have proportional representation in the House, and the person with the most votes for President lost in 2000 and in 2016. The way Congressional districts are made and the weirdness of the Senate representation is such that we will soon be governed by a minoritist party. Who cares how things were in the 60s and 70s when the topic at hand is about the present day?

EDIT: The Republican Party has overtly attempted to subvert the political norms of the country and continues to do so. Arguing about this or that policy is meaningless unless the messed up way the Senate and House seats are allocated is fixed. That won’t be addressed anytime soon so the situation is essentially hopeless. Oh, and Manchin sabotaged voting rights legislation.
> Hospitals aren't allowed to deny care (obviously). They will bill people outrageous amounts and know that they will only ever see a fraction of it. So prices for people who do pay are raised considerably to make up for it.

They absolutely can. They just can't refuse care if you're actively dying or your condition's quickly deteriorating (they have to "stabilize" you). This makes the ER loophole, such as it is, useless as a backdoor for obtaining most hospital care. Plus if you go in for something that's not actually an emergency, they'll just make you wait until you leave. They'll never treat you.
A Client-Centric Specification of Database Isolation
I used fish for a long time, but lost patience with the incompatibility with other shells. It’s nice to be able to just paste and run someone else’s command, and I eventually tired of having to rewrite every command to use fish syntax. For example, replacing FOO= with set - x …
The reverse is even worse—if I need to send someone a command to run, I have to rewrite it in a syntax that’s likely to work when they run it. It only takes a few seconds each time but I grew weary of it.
The Race to Reclaim the Dark
Some areas prefer or require undergraduate degrees, but those can often be bypassed with experience in a location with less stringent entry requirements. The requirements are all over the place.

In my location (suburban DC), the posted requirements aren't all that high (21 years old, high school completion), but it's a competitive county (high income, relatively low crime, reasonable pay) so the majority of applicants are either college graduates OR ex-military.
Today is officially the "Electron Alternative Day".
Re this type of study, I highly recommend the book, "The Halo Effect" by Phil Rosenzweig.
Any chance of revealing the profit margin?
Reading your reply I immediately thought of a video I watched last week that would have been a good 10 minute video, probably a great 5 minute video, but was in reality a 25 minute "stream of consciousness" video. Every step in the process he described ~3 times, some of them were because he was waiting for a long running process to complete, some I think were just habit?

Much of YouTube is dealing with people who leave your video after a minute or two, so shorter is generally better.

I very much appreciate people who put the time into getting rid of the superfluous in their videos. One of my highest performing videos is a 26 second "how to" video, the majority of comments are "Thank you for not making this a 5 minute videos like the others on this topic". (Removing the riving knife from a DeWalt table saw, FYI).

I recently experimented going entirely the other way, probably went too much so. Can I teach using the Python Typer (CLI argument parsing) library in 60 seconds? Feedback from friends is "Man, that's DENSE!" https://youtu.be/1iO7wqnC7qw
I eventually managed to do a scroll texts fast enough to do them while the pixels of the scroll text were printed to the screen. It was even fast enough to have char combinations in the scroll text that modified its speed and direction with speeds like "one time scroll 1 pixel the next 2". One of the tricks was to do "poor" timing with NOP's by requiring an empty row of bits between each scroll text. (The text becomes unreadable anyway if there is no space between the lines)

What do you think existing diplomatic and political institutions are, at this point?

There's no diplomacy hack that would've stopped Russia from invading Ukraine, and major projects that people thought would've stopped them -- including major trade infrastructure like Nordstream (2) -- were ineffective.

On the other hand, if Ukraine had been part of NATO, there was no chance Russia would've invaded. Almost like having more military power on their side would be the correct answer.
I like to eat it from the bottom and use the stem as a handle. Depending on the variety of apple the tough stuff around the seeds may be more or less palatable, but there is certainly flesh between the seeds that often gets wasted.
>"There's people who were weak and gotten strong. Some of them read self help books, some found social support. That's were the focus should be, not on the people who always walked the happy path and just "worked hard". Overcoming hopeless situations, stigma, bias, ego. That's actually hard."

Absolutely. I've also personally benefitted from some self-help books, though I've read many other self-help books that seemed to be useful at the time, but were ultimately forgettable and likely a distraction from issues I would have been better off directly taking of.

A good heuristic I've found is to prefer self-help books written by academics over influencers (anyone with a marketing background or associated with the word "guru"). Good books included those written by BJ Fogg (professor at Stanford) on habits, David Burns on useful versus self-defeating beliefs (psychiatrist and professor also affiliated with Stanford), and to a less extent Cal Newport (computer science professor at Georgetown).

As a side note, Cal Newport's advice was generally good, but — though I may be misremembering — his advice appeared to mostly be useful for people who already have a very clear goal and strong motivation about what to do, and didn't really struggle with self-defeating beliefs, close relationships that were unhealthy in life, or people who had fallen behind in mathematics skill development.
If you want to be a bureaucrat about it, sure. This is a Tell HN post, so someone from LI commenting on it is exactly the desired outcome.
> I could imagine that you can't have 2 genders of the same species that are completely different.

This is called sexual dimorfism and is not a rare event. Really extreme examples appear in some deep sea fishes in the order Lophiiformes

I mammals is not so extreme, but it occurs also. Both genders having a different size is common and is what we would find in giraffes if the neck were developped just for fighting.

Thanks, I thought it was a subscription-only article, couldn't open it.
That’s 0 in Unix epoch time (guess why!), so seems more like a missing timestamp than a crafted one. The fact that the linked file does not have a 0 timestamp, but a slightly later one, suggests it's valid, or at least intended to be valid.
"I wonder if, when some teacher eventually does go on a spree, the training will allow them to rationally kill more 'than would have been previously expected"."

Probably not. Most of the training is about use of force and very basic marksmanship.

"Additional gun question. In religious schools would nuns, for example, be expected to be armed?"

No one is being expected to be armed. It's optional/voluntary.
> You probably spend most of the 1500 hours as an apprentice.

From the article:

Which is even better now that it’s 15% for small business
Personally, I'm a lover of subshells, I often write things like (cd mydir && make), making use of the fact the 'cd mydir' only happens in the subshell.

Fish doesn't have anything like that, there are a few workaround, but none of them are (in my opinion) anywhere near as nice.
Sometimes there really is a "one weird trick" that can help people. I used to get stuck on problems and it would cripple my productivity. A programmer with two decades more experience than me noticed what I was doing and gave me the best advice of my career.

Yep. One job I had was to work on a team to automate the destruction of 99% of all job applications coming from the internet while still nominally being in compliance with EEOC. We figured out a number of ways.

The company actually ONLY hired people directly recommended by employees or trusted business partners. 100% of all unsolicited resumes were ignored and destroyed (yet had a paper trial for legal and EEOC compliance).
Here’s a Twitter thread from a former Apple engineer: https://twitter.com/stuntpants/status/1346470705446092811

> arm64 is the Apple ISA, it was designed to enable Apple’s microarchitecture plans. There’s a reason Apple’s first 64 bit core (Cyclone) was years ahead of everyone else, and it isn’t just caches.

> Arm64 didn’t appear out of nowhere, Apple contracted ARM to design a new ISA for its purposes. When Apple began selling iPhones containing arm64 chips, ARM hadn’t even finished their own core design to license to others.

> ARM designed a standard that serves its clients and gets feedback from them on ISA evolution. In 2010 few cared about a 64-bit ARM core. Samsung & Qualcomm, the biggest mobile vendors, were certainly caught unaware by it when Apple shipped in 2013.

> Apple planned to go super-wide with low clocks, highly OoO, highly speculative. They needed an ISA to enable that, which ARM provided.

> M1 performance is not so because of the ARM ISA, the ARM ISA is so because of Apple core performance plans a decade ago.
Hi! CEO of ReadySet here. You can think of ReadySet as being a cross between a traditional read replica and a custom caching layer (e.g. one you might build on top of Redis). With read replicas, you still rerun queries from scratch every time they're issued, which means you still have to think about things like query optimization. ReadySet caches frequently run queries in memory so you get super-fast query latencies on cache hits. Because of this, you can scale to much higher read throughputs without extra effort. This is especially useful for read-heavy applications (e.g. websites, certain types of dashboards, among others!)

You can read more about how it works here: https://docs.readyset.io/concepts/overview
They seem to have purposely left that out of the scope of this article. There are myriad articles about the benefits and downsides of monorepos vs multiple repos.
> Since WW2, all those former world-power countries in western Europe have lived in peace with one another, not because they built weapons for mutually assured destruction, but because they built economic interdependence and mutual understanding.

Yes, and people thought this would work with Russia too, hence Nordstream and other trade.

Turns out, only more military power would've stopped Putin from invading. Economic interdependence can certainly be a good thing, but it's not all-powerful. Sometimes the answer really is having enough military power to deter your enemies. Democracies generally don't invade other democracies, but not every place is a democracy.
> rich people park most of their money in assets

6 months of basic living expenses isn't "most of their money" for rich people. Ideally it wouldn't be for the rest of us either.

You seem to be thinking I'm against investing altogether - I'm not, but there is a significant risk avoidance in having an emergency fund that is 100% liquid and not tied to market risks.

Very interesting - many thanks!

Because every time they do, there's a rush of "They're going to ban guns, so buy them now" postings on social media.

It never happens, but that just means we go through the same dance every time.
There's an enormous amount of literature and commentary out there about the tendency for federal regulators in general, and the FDA especially, to minimize "Type I" error (approving drugs that are unsafe/ineffective) with the negative consequence of making more "Type II" errors (not approving drugs that are safe and effective).
Sounds fun! Feel free to share the results :)
Wow, good job!

How'd you make people aware of it?
Electron is one of those things that's both terrible and awesome at the same time. It's great for developers but it's a RAM hog, a CPU hog, a bandwidth hog (in downloads), and a disk hog.

But don't blame Electron. Blame OS vendors and their refusal to standardize anything when it comes to app distribution.
Ask HN: What's the hardest problem you've worked on recently?
… and how did you go about solving it?

Could be anything: relational, technical, political, physical, etc.

Asking because I'm just curious to hear what interesting problems people are working on, and to see the different (or similar!) approaches people take to solving them.

Maybe seeing how someone approached a problem in an unrelated field holds the key to solving one in your own …

> There is actually a legal requirement for churches to stay out of politics in order to maintain their tax-exempt status.

Churches and charities can get involved in politics, including ballot issues and legislation. They just can't get involved in campaigns for specific candidates. In practice, the IRS is terrified of touching religious orgs so "anything goes" as long as the church isn't a straight up criminal enterprise.

IMO the actually important thing about churches is that they don't have to file a Form 990. I don't actually have much of an issue with churches getting involved in politics -- it happens on both sides and frankly the idea of religion being divorced from politics is a fairy tale anyways -- but I do wish every church had to file a Form 990 so the public (and congregants!) can see how this tax-free money is spent.

I love the concept. Not needing to have extra code and logic for a caching layer seems very nice. In my experience, I haven't ever been in a situation where I needed super heavy caching, but this seems like it gives it to you "for free". Interested to see if we see more of ReadySet in the future.
It's really a nicety for them.

It saves them time so they can move on to the next target who may be more likely to give up a full time 6 figure salaried position with PTO and healthcare to take a contract job that requires a BS degree and 5 years of experience but only pays 150% of minimum wage, no PTO and no healthcare.

I get past the introductions and then say straight up, if this position doesn't consider mid 6 figures +/- $20,000 as its pay range then I probably won't be a good fit for it, and add $20,000 to that if it's not a direct hire.

They typically respond with, "We were hoping to pay more like $40,000" every time. I'm sure you were, but you need someone with an AA degree for that. With a BS they can make more, hell with a HS diploma they can make $40,000 a year working at a gas station. That's not even $20/hr. This is IT. You don't get to hire under $25/hr in a major city without either exploiting the newbies or tripping over the desperate.

There will definitely be a lot of jostling as Cassandra gets ahead here, and ScyllaDB there. Yes, we've talked about our plans to get to 1RT LWTs.

And you are totally correct to point out that there are needs for conservatism in people running at scale. Hence why we recently released making our Enterprise offering available as either a short term feature release or a long-term support release.

The MV issues have been hardened in ScyllaDB so the likelihood of them getting out of sync are minimized. And we're implementing Raft into the architecture to make them even more consistent with the base table. [Not available yet, but part of our roadmap.]
