It’s a space that is inclusive of queer folks. If someone can’t handle that, then yeah, they probably aren’t mature enough to safely interact with those people. Every space needs to have some rules in the event that someone gets nasty. Someone who gets upset when they encounter a non-binary person is probably going to make those people feel unwelcome. So you can either protect the vulnerable people or you can allow the bully to push other people out. But whoever is organizing that space can consciously decide, or they can let the bully decide for them.

By the way, you seem to have this really charged, negative view of queer spaces. Which I respectfully want to suggest is a misunderstanding of those spaces. I mean, if you go in all angry and complaining about other people, then sure, they’re gonna (rightfully) kick you out. But that’s true of most places if you show up and act like a jerk. The truth about these places, and being queer in general, is that this is a beautiful space of happiness for so many people. Being able to express gender openly without judgment is a positive, empowering experience for so many people. All you have to do to fit in is accept that. You don’t have to like it, though that is encouraged. But if you get so upset by someone existing as their true self that you have to argue with others, you’re probably not a good fit for that space.

I want to suggest you listen to the YouTube channel Beau of the Fifth Column. He’s got a lot of great takes he explains in a way I think you’d understand. And sometimes he talks about stuff like this.

Anyway I’m non-binary. I’m taking hormones and expressing my gender in ways I never knew I could (wearing clothes I “wasn’t supposed” to wear). It feels great. All I really ask for is that you accept me for who I am. And I hope you see that I’m able to be kind to you even though I know you think I’m a “pronoun person”.

Edit: Here’s a couple videos from Beau of the Fifth column talking about gender. He’s a white guy from the south who explains things in a non judgmental way and I think he has a good perspective, but I’ll let you decide:

It is almost entirely in populations of men who have sex with many male partners in western countries. It is much easier to reduce number of partners and be monogamous for a while (basically removes risk of monkeypox) than lock down everything (needed to remove most risk of covid).
True. I'd still rather listen to what my oncologist has to say, though.
Elite universities are shameless credential laundering operations. I wouldn’t hire anybody with a degree from Harvard or Yale for anything other than sales.

A poor kid who wants to be successful is much more valuable than some legacy admission.

> Not even on the top 10 of concerns surrounding Uber for the 95% of the population who don’t live in a super dense city.

How does it make economic sense for Ubers to circle around non-dense areas that couldn't support a taxi system? If there's an answer beyond a combination of VC subsidies and convincing drivers to assume additional economic risk, I'd love to know! (So would Uber, for that matter. Or at least their investors.)
Electric A/C for car is really underrated feature. It is rarely mentioned on hybrid vehicle. Efficient idling is what I want to have at least.
Yeah westerners have so much access to information. I mean look at all those informed opinions about WMDs in Iraq. The US begged countries like Finland, Sweden and Australia to join them in their middle east occupation.

Australia has assisted US in most all major conflicts they have been involved in since WW2. Being a small democratic nation, the US is our most powerful ally and we have invested in that relationship for close to a century. We didn't just come knocking on the door yesterday 'begging' for help.
"Such an attitude of "nothing is worth it unless we fix everything at once" once promotes apathy and inaction, and is just plain annoying."

Weird. I thought such an attitude would promote nuclear. Obviously.

It's also not surprising that some people would view him unfavorably when he denied Japanese war crimes in the past.
Ostensibly wealth is a settled debt.
This is more than just a bit of fun. And a good reminder that sometimes, we just need to slow down.
Like, the other commenter said, it's YoY, and a subtle mistake to think you can compartmentalize it to monthly is YoY / 12. Often what can happen is a sudden spike, like 8% inflation, where every month for the next year would turn out as 8% even though the month-to-month is flat every month except for the one sudden 8% jump.

Monthly = YoY / 12 iff inflation is linear and steady. (it almost never is)
That's what I was wondering as well. If I had to guess, the models that focus on tons of languages are often less good at say English->Spanish as a dedicated model, or a model that focuses on only a few high-resource languages.

Glad to see more offline-translation options though. Would be nice to have a benchmark for them soon to compare more easily.
Thank you! Yes, I also like its endlessness. Gives a feeling of freedom

I think fractal designs are the way to go! My favorite notetaking app is Workflowy which does this exact thing with nested lists, and it supports boards too! One thing I would suggest is that it needs to be possible to "peek" at lower levels; it's a bit jarring to drop a card on another card and have it completely disappear. It's not immediately obvious that the card actually went "inside" the right one.
Not sure how to parse the question; answering both ways.

How long can a person wear one? The few times I work in office I wear one all day, and don’t find it difficult.

How long can a single N95 be reused? I’d read research indicating the real limiting factor seems to be the quality of the seal, and the straps tend to fail before the mask loses efficacy. Basically, if it seals without air escape, you’re good.
Ask HN: Does your company offer part-time programming roles?
Seems you have a keyboard career.

I was glad to have been trained on proper blocking and hoisting, because things in the physical world at work can drop and hurt someone. During yearly MSHA refresher the trainer encouraged us to take eye protection from the company and use it at home.

Numbers aren’t necessary to tell the time and the analog watch provides more information in the hours hand than digital does in the first two digits. I think you’d find that the time to tell the time can be quicker in analog than digital but I couldn’t find any studies.

Yeah it's interesting that even if you could increase the speed (possible feature idea) there's still some push towards behaving like a metronome!

It really makes it quite evident how variable the timings for certain letters and words are (like "the" is almost a single character).
More like "US during British Colonial Times" != "USA Today", for starters USA during Reagan and USA today have the same constitution and the same governmental system even if specific laws and lawmakers have changed
The US military is a jobs program that elevates hundreds of thousands of people out of poverty. It’s the most effective socialist program in human history. It’s unassailable in domestic politics.
> More accurately: there is a landed (or otherwise wealthy) class in AZ that would rather not pay for public institutions they don't see the need for.

It's important to understand that about most red states.
Almost literally everything is privatized and people from all segments of society buy stuff. Cars, phones, food, clothing, computers, are all manufactured by private enterprise without being run by the government. They are not just for the elite.

The US government spends more money on health care than any other country in the world, and is 4th in terms of the percentage of its budget that goes towards health care. It is hardly a libertarian dream.

Are you Ukrainian? Because your take doesn't make sense. Do you really think Russia can afford going to war with literally half of the planet?
If that's the case, NATO might as well send preemptive strikes (nukes, etc..) to avoid that scenario or probably Russia could foresee that and strike first since they are currently at war.

The US was looking to buy petroleum from Venezuela. The same Venezuela they were vehemently criticizing and putting economic sanctions because of the ongoing dictatorship over there.

This war is more complex than we think. The world is already in a second cold war and now we have to blocks: the West (US and the EU) vs The East (China and Russia).

We are at "...hard times make strong men..." Cycle now.

That's a WebDAV status code.

> GraphQL looks like it's been implemented by someone who thought 200 and 404 were the only possible codes.

Maybe. Or maybe they decided that a 2xx status would be interpreted as "success" by a non-trivial set of libraries and/or systems. Either way, take it up with the standards committee :-).
Pretty sure anyone can form a US company, citizen or not. You definitely cannot form one in China without Party involvement, and depending on the size, even needing to have a full time Party member on staff.
It is a proxy war for the US. After all, Russia is not at war with Ukraine, it is at war in Ukraine, against NATO.
Canada isn’t like the US. Canadian universities expand. They don’t have anywhere near the degree of difference in prestige an American thinks normal.

Also, seriously, Waterloo is one one of the most prominent schools? Most Americans don’t know it exists, never mind have an opinion on how prestigious it is. I know it has a fantastic CS programme, with coop every second semester and that is the sum total of my knowledge. That’s a lot more than most people know.
I got my machine in the mail. By 1989 PC Clones had eaten everything and the one computer magazine that was thriving was Computer Shopper.
Ex-taxi driver,

Taxi’s maybe have been shit but that does not in anyway justify Uber breaking the law to conquer the market (btw, now that they’ve done that, they’ve also turned to shit because it was unsustainable).

Literal or not, taxi companies really are as a rule something akin to local Mafiosos. They break the law all the time. The extent to which Uber screwed over it's drivers and to an extent risked the safety of it's riders bothers me. That Uber flouted local regulations intended to keep taxis services in the hands of local politicos' scumbag friends bothers me not in the least.

And as Uber rose, lots of drivers would drive both taxis and Uber, with each having advantageous and disadvantageous. And I also remember finally checking tire pressure on a cab I'd been paying to use for a bit - random amounts between 10 psi to 40 psi with half the tires bald. Taxi companies are filth and I laugh to hear any of them out of business. Sure Uber isn't much better but the point is Uber vs local Taxi company isn't a fight where people should be routing for a side. Tossing bottles at both sides, sure but not taking a side.
¿Crees que solo hay dictaduras bajo gobiernos anti-capitalistas o es algo en donde por ejemplo Qatar (o Reino Unido) siendo monarquías constitucionales podrían superar en autoritarismo?
In principle, yes. In practice it's really hard to find a game like Assassin's Creed that offers me a relaxed world, where I can decide how engaged I want to be. Most of the team I just wander around a beautiful historical world and occasionally use long-range weapons like a sniper without worrying about dying every few minutes. This kind of experience, at least for me personally, is really hard to beat.
I use Bing translate because of that, but this is 100% worth looking into!
Hm. Sounds interesting. Will check later. Afk atm
Basically all this, including the pranks too. I fondly remember the huge encyclopedia my great-grandmother (!) offered us.

And the BMX 2000 too: geez, I loved that thing (but was still jealous of that one guy in the neighbourhood on a golden Raleigh Burner).
Because it’s really, really, tremendously expensive. Owning one signals that you have the cash to own one. Expect a ton of demand from oligarks and oil sheiks.
According to my very old Players Handbook, leaders of tyrannical states are lawful evil.

Is it? I can’t find much real data, and, at least in the US, monkeypox surveillance appears to be at least as poor as COVID surveillance early in the pandemic.
I would like to know how this compares to other years as well, but I agree - it's beginning to look very strange indeed. As far as I can tell, we have not heard a cause for any of these, just that they're under investigation. Surely someone at the top must be looking into this.
If you SOLD something and somehow REMOVE or the ability to use it, it's theft.
Whether it's done using modern technology (software) or old technology (crowbar) is not important.
The article says that heads and heads alone were found:

> They've uncovered large numbers of cattle, goat and wild gazelle skulls and horns in small chambers in the heads of the mustatil, but found no indication that these were kept for domestic use. Since no other animal's body parts were found, it led the team to deduce that these were sacrificial. It further suggested that the animals were sacrificed elsewhere.

Whatever it was, that doesn't sound like an abattoir.
It's insane. Thank God for tech companies for disrupting one of the worst industries on the planet. Uber and Lyft are, IMO, some of the best examples of the virtuous nature of "move fast & break things" as a business philosophy.
Human rights are also false. Human dignity is false. Morality is false. If we’re only going to teach things that are true there’s not going to be much philosophical content anywhere.
Thank you! Yes it can almost be meditative trying to type to a such a uniform and set pace—perhaps the digital equivalent of a mantra meditation.
53 is indeed a magic value for IEEE doubles, but why would anybody count an inherently integer value with floating-point? That's a serious rookie mistake.

Of course there's no law that says SSD firmware writers can't be rookies.
Perhaps the most interesting part is the last question:

Gazette: Despite this, the machines sometimes get rapped as being old-fashioned, obsolete.

McIntyre: Today, if we positioned the 64 in the marketplace – forget RAM, bytes, bits – if we went out and functionally described the Commodore 64, it would be heralded as a fantastic advancement in personal micro-computing.

The problem is that if you start to talk to people who have been in the business since its inception, they start to get jaded: "it's only eight-bit."

Who cares? You are buying this machine for a specific reason. If it satisfies that need, it is never obsolete. Only your requirements become obsolete. If you no longer require it, then you obviously no longer need hardware to satisfy the need. The need ceases to exist – not the hardware. If the need continues to exist until the year 2000, then that machine is still satisfactory.

There is no such thing as hardware obsolescence. That is a phrase that was coined by the naysayers in this industry. That's baloney.

In a way, he's not entirely wrong, but I think it's also quite myopic. Sure, a C64 can be "satisfactory" even today for many tasks in the sense "it'll work", but that's not the same as "good". The C64 is 320×200; even just a doubling of that to 640×400 (never mind fancy things like 800×600 or 1024×768) can be a huge productivity boost in many scenarios simply because you can display more text, never mind all the "RAM, bytes, bits" that do actually matter since you can do more faster.
I don't think anyone is suggesting that we need to tolerate aggression, or that we must entertain stupidities. The main message and lesson to take from this post is rather to not let the stupidities stand in the way of learning.

The point is that if you pick any complicated topic, and try to learn about it by listening to proponents at random, 19 times out of 20 [1], you're going to land on a stupid explanation that doesn't even make sense. If your goal is to learn [2] then you should continue keeping an open mind until you land on that 1 out of 20, higher-quality version of the thing, and then give that one a chance. If the highest-quality version of the thing makes no sense, then you may be justified in discounting the idea. [3]

This notion might seem obvious to some people, but from my experience, I can say that not everyone finds this obvious.

[1] I just made up these numbers for demonstration purposes.

[2] There are other goals in life too (eg.: surviving, escaping oppression, etc), but this is one possible goal and it's the one we're focusing on in this context.

[3] But also, statistically speaking, it's very likely that we just don't understand the thing, so this is why I often like to say that one should be more skeptical of one's own understanding than of others (again, in contexts where the main goal is learning).
I am not dyslexic and don't claim to know which is better, but this article claims Apple's San Fransisco typeface is better than OpenDyslexic;

https://www.dailydot.com/unclick/iso-9-san-francisco-font/

The reasoning is that dyslexia seems to rotate symbols. OpenDyslexic tries to solve this by giving each symbol a "fat bottom" so to speak. This may work, but may also be heavy-handed.

San Fransisco keeps a classic sans-serif design but just makes each letter look distinct, even when rotated. This has the benefit of the font being "readable" to people without dyslexia, because it follows conventional design standards as well.

Take my info with a grain of salt though.
Zelensky has been ready for negotiations since day 1. The problem is that when Russia talks about "negotiations", what they seem to mean is complete surrender. Zelensky rightly rejects that, along with >80% of the Ukrainian population.

Now you’re just making things up? Why not either link to the source of your claim? I’m willing to believe what you’re saying is true but you’ve got to link to something, not just make up “models” (using the term very loosely here) out of whole cloth.

Also: how is “restaurant has no customers and has to close” Ubers fault? I guess restaurants never closed before Uber eats existed, or is Uber to blame for those business failures as well?

There’s plenty to criticize Uber for but blaming them for the closure of a restaurant that can’t attract customers is simply ridiculous and makes clear some people simply in this thread will blame anything on Uber regardless of whether the accusation even makes sense.
Why bother buying a single game from this game publisher / developer? That's my takeaway.
> It’s freedom of religion, not freedom from religion.

At the federal level, it's been both since the beginning; freedom of religion under the free exercise clause, and freedom from religion under the establishment clause, both of the First Amendment. Just like the rest of the First Amendment, and much (but not all) of the rest of the Bill of Rights, that's been held to be incorporated against the states under the 14th Amendment.

> New Hampshire had a state church until 1877.

Very shortly after the 14th Amendment was ratified in 1868 and before the Court had heard and ruled on the cases in which it found the First Amendment rights to be fundamental rights inherent in the concept of ordered liberty incorporated against the states by the 14th Amendment. The states are not free to impose a state church any more than they are to ban all religious expression, for the same Constitutional reason, and they are no more free to do either under the 14th Amendment than the federal government is to given the First.
I’d only noticed that pattern in University of Chicago and University of San Francisco … but yeah … very interesting.

Interesting. I noticed massive performance improvements when I went to a decent buffered logger in Clojure and Go projects. IIRC, there was no distinguishable difference from the “no logging” scenario for real world workloads (where the buffered channel never fills completely). This makes me want to revisit those tests and see if I’m misremembering, though.
Am I the only one who reads this and thinks these people are not focused on anything more than writing a lot of big words in a journal to suck up grant money and further their career. Like the goal clearly isn't to accumulate and communicate knowledge in a way that benefits humanity. Because you could have more clearly communicated this in 1/10th of the words.

This is everything wrong with academia.

The world would be better off if most of these departments were put out of their misery and we redirected the funds.

> Being phylogenetically close involves greater empathic perceptions towards other species. To explore this phenomenon, this study investigates the influence of neurocognitive predispositions to empathy on our perceptions of other organisms. Autistic spectrum disorders (ASD) are characterized, among others, by weakened empathic skills. Our online survey involved a group of 202 raters with ASD and a control group of 1100 raters, who had to make choices to assess their empathic perceptions toward an extended photographic sampling of organisms. Results highlight that both groups present overall similar trends in their empathic preferences, with empathy scores significantly decreasing with the phylogenetic distance relatively to humans
