> I walk about 4-5 hours a day at ~2 mph

So you are "walking" 8 to 10 miles a day, that is pretty awesome just being stationary so to speak, which translates to 700-900 calories burned a day. Just curious do you get tired at the end of the week?
I’m only saving articles for later (and then videos directly on YouTube).
The problem with bookmarks is going back to them (if ever), so I always tend to forget about what I’ve saved and then just google what I need in the moment.
With articles it’s a bit different but I used to save a lot of articles to Pocket and then Instapaper, and reading them not too often.
Now using Alfread that sends me quotes from saved articles as reminders, so that helps a bit.
Good. US citizens should be, at least, disappointed that their government is so bad at protecting their privacy, that US law is so far behind the times.

To those companies and people who find these EU decisions baffling or inconvenient: tough. If you had had respect for your users this would not be an issue. You would already not be spying on them.

Yes, orbit decay having gone up by a factor of ~10 is indeed plummeting.

You park things in low earth orbit so that they don't stay up forever and indeed come down in reasonably small human-scale timeframes. Usually on the time scale of decades, sometimes more, sometimes less.

If you designed a satellite to stay up for 10 years, it'll suddenly only be able to stay up a year, that's the scale of these things.

Again it's an exponential thing, a seemingly small scale change in the slow part makes the fast part come quite a lot sooner.
It was the length limit.

I thought a few things were muddled in the thinking behind this research, probably most of all it is happening in an environment where people make their policy preferences conform to their tribe rather than choosing a tribe that conforms to their preferences.

I'd think you could get people out of it for a short time if you got them talking about some question like "What color to paint the bikeshed?" which the tribes haven't gotten around to taking positions on. Should somebody make the slightest mistake and use a keyword which is triggering ("Isn't that Laissez-faire?") then I think the polarization will come right back.
I had a weird interview once.

I used a common C# shortcut and the dev asked what it was....I explained....he said it would never compile. The whole interaction was really awkward and he was being kind of an ass about it.

I believe I asked "Would you like me to write it out so you can understand?". Frankly, at that point I was pretty annoyed. This was in front of 3 devs. He just sat there quietly, so I did rewrite it anyway in the complete syntax.

I ended up getting an offer but declined. As I was walking out the devs were on a computer trying to see if it works lmao.

I would always suggest not to get to upset, but I don't see why you can't fire back at them.
No, I used to be super into bookmarks and a lot of the first code I wrote was to help me manage them and to discover new things from others via delicious bookmarks and things like that.

In recent years I've found that I only visit 5 out so websites with any regularity and everything else is as quick to Google for as to search my bookmarks for.

I've completely given up on bookmarks.
That's the whole point. Without the data, it would be worthless. Microsoft is not paying the full cost because it is ripping the data without asking consent. I'm not saying what they are doing is illegal per se, but it's definitely immoral.

But if you have a structure that contains offsets into another buffer somewhere, or an index, whatever - the wrong value here could be just as bad as a use-after-free. I don’t see how this is any safer.
If you use memory after free from a malloc, with any chance you’ll hit a page fault, and your app will crash. If you have a index/pointer to another structure, you could still end up reading past the end of that structure into the unknown.
My guess is that the friend wants a nice button, like the one in the America Got Talent. Bonus points if it can be relocated in the desk, so perhaps add a battery and a suction cup, and a led and buzzer to confirm.

Most of the things I find interesting are on HN or reddit, though I probably make about 20 bookmarks a year in my browser. I have Vivaldi sync set up.

I have an interest in building a "saved item" extraction tool for my reddit accounts that exports them to a bookmark file for offline storage. Same with Hacker News. Though if the tool already exists, please link it here!
I agree with most of your post.

However, the article is about teens vaping concentrate that can contains as much as 90% THC. The title on HN is misleading, the article is not about teens smoking a few joints per week.

To reuse your alcohol analogy, the article would be about teens drinking undiluted alcohol (94%) and the title on HN would be "Teens drinking beer are frequently found dead"
It only sounds like a dystopian science fiction if you describe it as such.
I don't know much about flavorless competitors, but juice, self-refillable cartridges seems like they have a greater potential of abuse/danger.
Not the GP but in my experience that is moderate for a habitual user (i.e. "occasional" users do not fall on this scale). Averaging an eighth of an ounce of flower or a gram of concentrate every day would be considered high usage and anything over a quarter ounce flower or two grams concentrate a day would be extreme (at that point you're getting more than a gram of the psychoactives a day, let alone all the other cannabinoids).
> and the final commit being hashed with sha256 wouldn't matter.

Git stores content, not diffs. So the signature verifies all content stored in that commit. It does t verify anything that came before it, unless those are specifically signed as well.
At the peak of my own usage, I smoked around an ounce every 3 days while (pretending to be) working from home. $40/eighth + taxes a pretty average price in the Bay Area, so that works out to almost exactly $100/day.

That's pretty extreme, even for heavy smokers, but far from impossible.

Indeed, a coworker at a previous job was fascinated/fixated with state machine patterns. After spending two weeks trying to force a process we were paired on into a state machine pattern and failing, I rewrote it in an afternoon without the state machine stuff.

It started out small and easy, when there were two states. A third state was manageable but to me already looked like it was going the wrong direction. The fourth state (out of IIRC 6) was never finished.
Any idea which departments the 300 being let go are from? Would be interesting, in a rather morbid sense…

I would not be concerned about this. The way the asics operate is they discard the results. Also, the hashes are random strings which don't compress very well, so storing trillions upon trillions of them (for later analysis) is not practical.
This is an old 4% strength THC I-used-to-be-a-stoner argument that is completely irrelevant to the "real" dangers (multiple) to teenagers, which include: concentrated THC in teenagers causes psychosis; moderate THC in teenagers makes them permanently less intelligent.

THC users like to downplay them.
Part of being in good condition is knowing your limits. If it’s that hot out, you will want to leave a bit earlier and ride slower so you don’t overheat.
because the netherlands already have a very good biking infrastructure for decades. i have been biking there in the 80s and 90s. neighboring germany was no comparison. obviously if you already have good infrastructure, further improvements won't be very noticeable or motivate many more people to bike.

but in cities that previously didn't have good infrastructure, the massive improvements really did attract new riders that would not have considered riding a bike before.
I think HN's current title policy is exactly right, for this reason: submissions need "neutral" titles so that we can discuss the content instead.

In this case, the discussion of the word plummet is halfway topical: it's about understanding the severity and going more into detail of what's actually happening, putting it in context. The equivalent discussion would happen regardless of word choice.
I've been using clicky on a few of my sites and even though they _assure_ me that it's totally compliant with gdpr I don't really believe them, does anyone have a decent alternative for analytics that respects people's privacy? I just want to see when I get new vs returning visitors on a page. Cloudflare's analytics are okay but I like how granular clicky can get, but if there's no good way to do that I think I'm just gonna ditch clicky and make do with the cdn analytics. Hell, I bet the cdn already does everything I need and I just don't know how to use it right, or I'm not paying for the right tier or something.
98¼% chance that if one of the interviewers doesn't like you for any reason, you are not getting an offer.

So, as soon as something like this becomes clear, and first time you're disrespected... Stand up, dust yourself off, and say "I think we're done here." Then walk out and don't look back.

I worked on a static analysis tool to detect bleeds in outgoing email attachments, looking for non-zero padding in the ZIP file format.

It caught different banking/investment systems written in memory safe languages leaking server RAM. You could sometimes see the whole intranet web page, that the teller or broker used to generate and send the statement, leaking through.

Bleeds terrify me, no matter the language. The thing with bleeds is that they're as simple as a buffer underflow, or forgetting to zero padding. Not even the borrow checker can provide safety against that.

> It seems very normal and unsurprising that a community advocate would cheerlead survey results like this and let others discuss the topics you mentioned (and they do).

Maybe I find it a little tone deaf. As someone that has been using Julia for a long time and still seen very little growth in the language (compared to Rust for example), and sees users on a regular basis complain about basic issues in Julia (tooling being the biggest one for me), I find it off-putting and evangelizing when prominent community members blatantly disregard information counter to the narrative they want to establish. I hold Logan to a much higher standard, and the tone in the blog post rubbed me the wrong way. Even on Slack, there's a discussion of how "little" Julia is in this survey, and for the public messaging to be different from what a lot of users are voicing feels off. I do feel my comment was a stronger reaction, but it was perhaps stemming from my frustrations after seeing the survey, seeing it discussed on slack, seeing it discussed at work, and then reading this post.

> I am also surprised by your "scathing indictment" comment. Julia released its first stable version 3 years ago. MATLAB/R/Haskell have existed for decades. Julia has 30% of the user-share of MATLAB (and same order of magnitude comparisons to R and Haskell). This seems like a pretty big achievement already, especially when you see where these other languages are on the "love" scale.

Perhaps. Maybe I was too strong here. Julia has come a long way, and I absolutely love using it over MATLAB. But scientists and researchers are still picking MATLAB over Julia today, and that is extremely troubling for the future of the language. People are dreaming that Julia will eat Python's lunch when Julia seems like it is barely catching up to MATLAB.

I think Julia will get there eventually. But maybe I need to adjust my expectations. I previously was hopeful that after Julia 1.0, adoption would skyrocket. It did increase, but not to the extent that I would have liked. After Julia 1.6, I was hopeful again. But I think I just need to temper my expectations. Maybe after like 10 years it might be a popular language, but right now it feels like it is such an extremely niche language, and that personally hurts that I've sunk so much time and effort into it.

You're arguing for one-sided disarmament before the battle has been won. It may be true that there are other, better alternatives to copyright/IP. And open source licenses do amount to turning "strict IP" against itself, in a way. But they do so in a way that still follows the rules of copyright. Copilot is now trying to turn open source licensing against itself, without following those rules: to have its cake and eat it too.

In the 90s as a teen the height of my pothead days I was consuming an ounce a day, that's 28g. I smoked joints like a pack-a-day tobacco user.

Now, I consume at most 1-1.5g a day. And that's a high all day kind of day for me.

I'd say my tolerance is down because I don't consume regularly or nearly as much but the main difference is in the 90s I only had access to mexican brick (low THC) and now I wouldn't touch that stuff if you paid me. Oddly, I do miss the act of just having a long smoking session but there's no way at current potency I can even justify rolling a joint when 2-3 hits sit me down. So there's definitely some substance to the potency being a self regulator.

For a time, I grew hydroponically and if anything is making people sick, my bet or first inclination would be to see if it's the nutrients not being properly flushed before harvest. I'm not sure if there are any regs on that stuff yet?
That seems like it's a little too empowering, feels as if you're saying that as long as an addict can flush their drugs they have their addiction beat.

At least on the US side the EPA's CSO laws have "just recently" ratcheted past the point that even "grandfathered" cities are having to make major accommodations for CSO overflow. If you live in a US city with sewers older than 1900 or so and are paying huge sewage taxes, it's likely because your city just built or is in the process of building massive CSO basins, uncombining sewers, and/or other costly capital expense mitigations. It's kind of interesting if you dig into your local projects what they are doing and why and how. (In a semi-related one of those projects my city's water company recently excavated a mid-1800s water main valve that was still in apparently active use up until just recently and it was pretty neat the photos and description of it in the local newspaper. Built to last.)

(Disclaimer: I vaguely worked on software projects that were CSO mitigation adjacent. Which at least explains some the interest in the projects.)

"It’s not enough to implement redundant systems and failovers, we must monitor and alert when those systems are being exercised."

My air conditioner in my house has a secondary drain pan under it. The outlet for that drain pan is right above a main window outside. If the primary condensate drain gets plugged/fails and the water overflows into the backup pan there would be a stream of water in front of a window that shouldn't otherwise be there. They want you to be able to readily notice it as you are now at risk for significant water damage if that secondary drain manages to plug up too.

Always something worth considering when designing any system - how to make it fail in a way that is noticeable!

> The real danger with cannabis is not that it'll make you sick or have some nasty side effect like this article describes.

That may be true for the majority of users, but the increase in people having significant negative reactions to high-dose THC is a real phenomenon.

This new era of extremely potent THC concentrates and other high-dose products has opened the door to some people using far more THC than previous generations could easily consume. Many of these high-dose users are discovering that the old narrative that weed isn’t “physically addictive” isn’t actually true and prolonged high-dose usage can produce significant physical and mental withdrawal effects. It won’t kill you like extreme alcohol withdrawal can, but the deep impulse to redose and inability to quit easily catches a lot of these high-dose users unprepared after they’ve been told that weed is harmless for so long.

Psychosis among high-dose users is also on the rise, though harder to pinpoint because the connection is very hard to make and quantify in studies. Again, this isn’t something people were taught to watch out for so you see some of these users believing that marijuana is a treatment for their psychosis rather than a cause and they spiral further and further until quitting.

The old street knowledge about marijuana’s biggest downside being laziness doesn’t really apply to people engaging in the more extreme doses and uses heavily processed and concentrated products.

Not an expert, but fair use generally covers education, criticism, parody, and satire. There is a test for meeting fair use and it includes things like amount copied and commercial or non-profit interest.

The amount copied from any particular source might be small, but an aggregate strip-mining of many copyrighted sources is an interesting twist. Another might be, as you suggest, it might be a machine that itself does not violate copyright, but has the effect of causing users (who accept the suggestions) to violate copyright.
I would say that language involving derogatory names for black people, arabs, russians, and asians, would always be objective established as racism. I don't know why anyone would disagree with that.

And I reported hundreds of comments with language like this over the years, and whenever I followed up on it I always found the comments still present in the discussion thread.
Some info (I'm the author):

- Since we are mothballing the company we decided to release info about how this algorithm works so that others may benefit

- The algorithm was developed as part of creating a news reading app (http://xraynews.app/) and works without any back-end or tracking, since privacy was a top concern for us.

- The algorithm is far from perfect, but works well for the use-case we picked for it (almost as good as google news in my opinion).

- Arxiv rejected this as a submission due to not being "scholarly". No grudges are held, just mentioning it in case folks suggest that I submit it there.

- Questions are welcome for parts of the document that may be a bit "hand wavey"
> The danger is simply that you will like it, you'll end up using it every day, all different times of the day, and it won't really hurt your health as much as it will make you live your life in a somewhat dopey, detached, less-intelligent way. As time goes on it won't feel "fun" it'll just feel "normal". And you just won't get as much out of your life as you could get, won't achieve as much relationship success, professional success, or personal fulfillment.

As a general rule, I don't disagree, although there could be other important variables in place here as well.

An alternative outcome is that one spends their time thinking about intelligent and important things (that few other people think about), except they may not have an easy route to monetization (professional success) for various reasons that are not the fault of drugs, and in some cases arguably due to a lack of more widespread drug usage, or simple diversity in thinking and discussion.
