Internationalization is a strong argument.

I don’t like it, but you might be right. I’d still prefer a layer of abstraction between config file keys/comments so your configuration can be localized, but there are additional issues here with user-vs-author comments which the UI solution wouldn’t need to consider.

Of course you are correct, I couldn’t imagine teaching grep to my grandpa, most relatives, or even all coworkers. It shouldn’t be necessary, but it would be lovely if this was always an option. I’d much prefer having control, than an opaque system that migrates my settings forwards. Maybe I’m advocating for a system that supports both?

Thank you for posting, I never considered this, I need to think about it.

it's really terrible how the caring for one's health aspect of the medicine industry has taken a secondary role, the really important thing is corporate profit, patients are getting treated, but not healed

this is not to say the treatments are not effective, but I think it's telling to consider that the reason treatments remain effective is to avoid defrauding customers (err. patients), not becuase the intention is healing people.
In Helix:

- space, k for documentation on the thing under the cursor

- space, [yp] for copying/pasting to the system clipboard

- m, [ai], [acfo] for selecting around/in language structures

This is easy because Helix has a very fast command palette thing, and a lot of its commands are behind consistent prefixes, so if you know `mi(` for selecting within parentheses, you can do `mi` to ask "what other things can I select within?"

Honestly the latest Windows 10 isn’t bad in this regard and Windows 11 has improved on that without making it a chore (although the other regressions in 11 make it a strong Do Not Recommend for now). The PowerToys expansion for this feature is worth trying (it’s by Microsoft and it’s free).

perhaps nothing should be too big to fail, including AB and Boeing.

That said, the failure of either AB or Boeing would be a difficult transition and it would take several decades to have close to a replacement, if one can arise at all.

Our food is grown with fossil fuels and chemicals. It’s chemical warfare on soil and water.

Glyphosate gets into us due to runoff’s into the water system and the aquifers. This is food grown as fodder and it gets into animals and then into us. It’s hideously obscene.

Most of the problem would be solved if we adopted eesponsible animal husbandry. Which means less meat and animal based foods. But that’s only one part of the solution.

Sure, if any method anywhere takes a pointer receiver, then anyone can declare an interface that matches that method, and that interface is (among other things) like an Option<Option<T>> in Rust or a ??T in Zig. It's weird to post "There is no inner/outer nil" since the most straightforward interpretation of that claim is that there is no None/Some(None) distinction, and this is straightforwardly not true.

For some reason, most languages do not encourage the users to create types that are similar to Option<Option<T>>.

Have you actually taken this stuff to a group of first-semester CS students and had them understand it and think it was a good design?

In the stdlib there's this function:

// String returns the source text used to compile the regular expression.
func (re *Regexp) String() string {
return re.expr
}

which takes a pointer-to-struct receiver and does not check it for nil before using it. So any program that declares a Stringable interface, diligently checks Stringables to make sure they are non-nil, then calls String() only on the non-nil ones is allowed to panic on this line from the stdlib because re == nil. The wonderful tutorial[0] teaches beginning go programmers to write the same sort of bug in the first lesson about interfaces.

You are right that according to the original definition of the word by J. A. Ewing ("When there are two qualities M and N such that cyclic variations of N cause cyclic variations of M, then if the changes of M lag behind those of N, we may say that there is hysteresis in the relation of M to N", Phil. Trans., 1885, 176, p. 524), the "rate dependent hysteresis" is a kind of hysteresis.

Nevertheless, this kind of hysteresis is not interesting, it is just the phase difference between an output and an input of a linear network, a.k.a. the phase of the transfer function between that input and that output.

This kind of hysteresis, i.e. such a phase difference between 2 variations, is ubiquitous, it appears in any system described by linear differential equations and also in any system described by non-linear differential equations when only small variations are applied to it.

So there is no advantage in calling it hysteresis instead of using alternative terms, which had been used much earlier than "hysteresis", e.g. "phase difference" or "phase lag" or just "lag".

The interesting forms of hysteresis, for which a new word was useful, because they could not be described using the older theories of linear systems, are those encountered in non-linear systems, e.g. ferromagnetic materials, ferroelectric materials, bistable electrical circuits, bistable mechanical switches, and so on.

In all kinds of hysteresis, an output is a function not only of inputs but also of an internal state (which is determined by the past inputs of the system).

However, in the case of the periodic steady-state analysis of a linear system, the internal state of the system is not considered explicitly, because the trick of replacing a system of linear differential equations in real variables with a system of algebraic equations in complex variables takes into account the internal state implicitly (i.e. the energy stored e.g. in electrical devices like capacitors and inductors, or in mechanical devices like springs and flywheels).

So in the analysis of a linear system, the "rate-dependent hysteresis" does not need any special treatment.

On the other hand, in the case of non-linear systems there is no trick allowing to ignore the hysteresis, it must be handled explicitly, using a state that depends non-linearly on the past inputs.

In conclusion, it is true that the use of "hysteresis" in the parent article and in the Apple GUI is not incorrect from the point of view of the meaning of "hysteresis" in physics, but this is nonetheless a non-recommendable use of the word.

Much less confusing and also shorter would be to say "Menu lag" or "Menu delay", instead of "Menu hysteresis".
This is bad thinking. Glyphosate has seen billions of USD in settlements and is tied to decreased liver function.

"Most every governing body says..." what is this poor appeal to authority?

Like the other commenter says, even if it is not directly effecting on humans, if it affects our gut flora then it ends up affecting. The reductionist approach does not work much in biology, one has to consider the whole system.
Different antibiotics/doses/frequency of prescription in different countries? Haven't read the whole thing yet though.
Great comment, feel like this puts into words what I see in interactions on here sometimes that puts me off. I might say that especially on Hacker News there are people who assume they're by default more knowledgeable than others.
I find Julia code quite beautiful for books in this domain. It's readable, elegant, concise, expressive, and efficient at the same time. A great language for science.
They still do. It's literally insane. Most will prescribe oral for everything even if it's just a cut. Not only will they give antibiotics they won't even tell someone to take a probiotic during treatment. Most doctors I've met over the years just phone it in and don't stay up to date on anything.
> what is the point of what you say?

Same point as it was in my original comment. If X was in charge during a good trend, it’s a human fallacy to post-rationalise the past as if the good trend was happening because of X being in charge (and even turn X’s downsides into X’s benefits), even if the good trend happened despite X being in charge. That’s how many Xs stay in charge while being objectively unworthy of it; especially those Xs that can use a combination of force and politics play.

Regarding “loving Chinese people and hating the CCP”, I am disinclined to blame the Chinese people, much like I am disinclined to blame the Russian people—they are bombarded with misinformation from young age and are given limited individual choice. (Also one of the reasons I’m inclined to blame the respective regimes.)
Daily driving for years now. Only thing to really keep in mind is having sufficient RAM. Otherwise, it's great for development. You can keep TemplateVMs for all of your development environments and tear them up and down, duplicate them, assign to a VPN, etc. Not good if you need GPU acceleration for anything, but some people have worked on GPU passthrough.
Research in the field of phage therapy has traditionally been strong in the Soviet Union since the 1920s and in other Eastern Bloc countries such as the GDR after WW2. In recent years, the area has gained renewed attention in Germany. There exists currently an extensive programme of basic research on phages funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). The project Web-site is located at: https://spp2330.de/
Meh the government doesn't need more money to conduct frivolous and corrupt spending with.

However it might be interesting to explore an option that required people who own a stake in a company that has grown beyond a certain size to be required to siphon off some of those shares to employees over time in a way where it was not conducted on the open market and would not affect share price.

I also question whether corporate entities should be allowed to own shares and what the benefits are of that. Should private investment firms be allowed to accumulate massive stakes in public companies?
I believe they mean it's a lot of money to the company, not the plaintiffs. $10B is a lot of money to any company.

What fat check is the CEO and board getting? They own virtually no shares, so it wouldn't be from Musk. And if a reluctant owner takes charge, they aren't writing a fat check or shaking on a golden parachute. The lot of them can only expect to be immediately terminated, but knowing Musk, he would likely take legal action against them and do his best to make them unhirable... so they would likely bail during legal proceedings.

Previous discussion (Nov 2020): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25136422
Contracts matter. The ability for two parties to create a contract and to have reasonably secure knowledge that the state will still in and enforce the terms of the contract, using violence if necessary, is a massive foundational element to free market capitalism.

We see in states where such an expectation is not present, that it becomes an enormous invisible drag on all business activity and degrades the civic functioning of society.

One of the crowning achievements of Western Liberalism was the concept of "rule of law" and that there would exist an impartial, powerful judiciary independent of political power that could bring massive resources to bear to enforce contracts.
What do you mean by "severe effects" and how are you sure they haven't shown up in force?

Let's say the incidence rate of certain types of cancer triples. You still might never meet someone with one of these types of cancer, and you might not even know if you did whether their cancer was caused by glyphosate.

But still sounds like a severe effect to me if you're the guy with cancer, right?
> Once demand starts dropping, (we are in recession territory after all), all this stock is going to cause a mess.

What is an alternative to stockpiling? JIT logistics still haven't recovered after COVID.

If we talking about cars many people still have to wait months for the model they want. Used car prices are still high too. IMHO demand will not go off the cliff unless prices will rise (much) faster than median income.
There are two really interesting parts of Russian medicine which the West hasn't really pursued which it should. Phages is one and they really are an incredible solution to antibiotic immune bacteria, the issue is always finding the right one, there are so many different phages and bank of all of them would be enormous, 10s probably 100s of thousands.

The second is auto vaccines and Lysates which present dead bacteria to the body so it can create an appropriate immune response. They are used in Russia for things like Urinary tract Infections which in the West are often untreatable with antibiotics but they do seem to work. Get the immune system to recognise the baddy and work out how to kill it and then in the harder to reach places it can be effective. Works fairly well for Chronic infections but the issue is identifying the bacteria precisely to match and existing mix or collecting the bacteria and cultivating and killing it mechanically or with heat so it can be injected back into the patient safely in other places in the body.

Both techniques were outrun by antibiotics in the beginning, antibiotics are a lot easier to administer as you don't have to identify the pathogen precisely and its easy to make in bulk. But both these more natural solutions are a lot harder for bacteria to become immune to and have undergone the evolutionary process alongside us and them. I think both are worth serious efforts and development.
>It seems to me that if you truly believe that an abortion is murdering a human, then the penalty should be the same as the murder of a human who is already born.

I fully agree with it. The punishments for murdering unborn children are too mild. They should be more severe.
It's not being removed. It won't be default, but installing python2 is possible(https://packages.debian.org/stable/python/python2)
>Pretty much, Windows with WSL, and Android emulation, you can do anything.

Unfortunately, they haven't figured out hardware access in WSL2 so doing stuff with serial ports and the like is impossible or requires annoying workarounds like creating network tunnels and connecting them to a pts using socat. In WSL1 you did have access to Windows COM ports.
I got further with spacemacs, it has a lot of stuff that’s sorta batteries included but you can still use vim bindings. I still just use ideavim in pycharm and webstorm but I have been slowly exploring some things like magit and org in spacemacs.

People shouldn't be afraid of technology, but we gotta come from a place of empathy—especially with people that are too old to have never gotten into PCs or now the younger generation who was raised on apps and mobile OS where even the file system is hidden, but really anyone can apply here. Linux, BSDs, et. al. should be for everyone. This includes easy-to-use interface for users with little current technical knowledge but also which means keeping some distros and DEs that don't belittle the experience power user.
