Speaking as someone who could be diagnosed for ADHD in ten seconds if I wanted to (my father has a diagnosis and is on medication for it, and I meet most of the symptoms questionnaire) I'm not sure I believe ADHD "exists". I concede that I am much worse at time management, focus, follow-through, etc. than the average population, but I see myself on the left side of a bell curve, not as a person with a "disorder".

Surely if we were measuring against the "average person", we'd be able to "diagnose" people with ASRB (Attention Surplus Regularactivity Bonus) and talk endlessly about how they're privileged in white collar fields that require a lot of drive and focus. For example, I was very bad at studying, most of my friends were fine at studying, and a few people I know could effortlessly balance their social life with 6-10 hours of straight studying per day. They're not normal... they have ASRB!

Furthermore, there isn't any "pathology" that we know of that guarantees ADHD. You can diagnose scoliosis by looking at the spine, or COVID-19 by testing for its presence, but there is no associated brain or tissue pathology that shows "aha, you have ADHD!"

I think you could arrange all humans on an "ADHD Spectrum". The 99th percentile would obviously have severe emotional regulation and focus issues, the 60th percentile would have minor issues, and the 1st percentile would be hyper-focus geniuses who outwork their competition and land high-paying, high-status jobs in competitive industries.

Furthermore, in more "natural" environments, "ADHD" doesn't really show up. I wasn't that noticeably different on the soccer field or working in the community garden over the summer, but with 7 classes worth of work piled on me over a semester it showed up in blazing letters.
Apology accepted, thanks :)

I guess that's yet another reason to re-theme my website....
Yes and no. It's not a kodak moment. "Camera" there basically squints hard and blinks often and then fancy algorithms reconstruct a full image based on that.
The hypothetical question to a hypothetical situation deserves a hypothetical answer.

There would be no massive cost. It would be a project affordable by the curious humans/robots/organizations of The Future. Automation will construction and manage the array, and the civilization building such a structure will be post-scarcity to some extent.
Those exposure times (weeks / 140 hours) are for these images [0,1], Hubble's deep fields. Hubble's photo of this galaxy cluster, the one our root comment shows superimposed over JWST's, took 5 Hubble orbits [2]. I think that's around 2-3 hours of exposure time.

If you’re legitimately worried about excessive immigration, you should be doing everything you can to fight climate change. Hundreds of millions of people could be displaced by environmental disasters like sea level rise, typhoon flooding, drought, and famine. If you don’t want a repeat of the emigration at the end of the Bronze Age, we need to do all we can to stop climate change.
Michigan also seemed to waitlist me and several of the people I knew at MIT. If they know they're the backup school, and they think you're going to get into your first choice, it hurts their acceptance rate to accept you outright.

Though, maybe it's just confirmation bias and ego. Maybe there was something in my application that gave Michigan pause but seemed fine to MIT. At that time, Michigan did ask which other schools to which you were applying. I'm not sure if that's still the case.
Deserts are just a really dumb place to put solar farms. But that is where ignorant investors want them, so that is where they are going, for now.

I read the first four ASOIAF books in two weeks (before the TV show). I read the fifth one in two days straight after buying the ebook at midnight on release day.

While I love the idea of only eating one food for money and practical reasons... Potatoes are so utterly boring.

Diets only work if you can stay on them without being miserable, and I know if all I could eat was potatoes I would be pretty miserable about that.

Also, any diet that requires supplements(Vitamin B12, probably some other vitamins that are fairly low in potatoes, and whatever essential amino acids are missing from potato protein. That's just off the top of my head) to be complete is a bad diet in my book.
> And that is probably not the whole picture since there's also inflation in the early Universe to talk about when the Higgs mechanism(s) broke and released a pile of energy and blew the universe up very quickly.

1. Is inflation anything more than a "just so" story? That is, is there any evidence besides the overall smoothness of the universe? (Without such evidence, it seems to me that inflation is "the universe is smoother than we expect, so it must have happened this way.)

2. Can you ELI20 why the Higgs broke (I presume you mean symmetry breaking), and why that would release a bunch of energy?

3. The Higgs breaking should release energy in space-time, but inflation was an expansion of space-time. Why should an energy release drive that?
I think PostgreSQL has enough features by now. They should try to focus on operational and scalability aspects now.
It isn't remotely true. Corals have persisted through the geological past when atmospheric CO2 was many times today's level. It could be true that _some_ coral species would go extinct, but corals as a class are likely to persist.

Dabbler in photography, general familiarity with astronomy:

The goals are to maximise light capture (the objects being imaged are dim and distant), whilst miniising any degredation from other factors. JWST doesn't ahve to deal with skyglow, daylight, or satellite interference. It may still be seeing other solar system bodies (depending on where it's aiming), but mostly would be subject to cosmic-ray interference, probably impacting on the light sensor itself.

Since those are essnetially instantaneous and randomly distributed with time, by "stacking" images and filtering out transient events (taking an average or median brightness AFAIU).

I'm not sure to what extend HDR is used in astronomical imaging.

There is a lot of post-processing and palette selection to apply colours to what are just intensity maps at a given frequency.

We may get total societal collapse well before the ecological disasters fully kick in just due to poor management and adaptation to "normal" problems such as pandemics, economic, political and worldview issues. The ecological problems are currently making it worse of course but they are very minimal compared to what is anticipated in the coming decades and centuries.

I feel like our management and coordination needs to improve by an order of magnitude to survive. As it is, we may nuke ourselves out of a planet before the decade is out.
Do you remember who made it? I didn't think they had one! It might be worth the trouble to keep it on just to get the data.

It is complicated and wavelength dependent. In near infrared, Hubble and JWST have about the same resolution. As the frequency moves further into infrared, JWST is better than Hubble. The other things that affect how clear an image is are “point spread function” - how much light gets scattered. And how steady the telescope can be held on one spot. Both of these capabilities are better for JWST than Hubble.

A Tesla Model 3 has energy storage of less than three gallons of gasoline. The reason the range is so good is that regen yields a lot of additional range.

In this test, however, towing or hauling long highway distances eliminates regen, severely handicapping EV range. I'm a big EV fan, but this is a legitimate torture test. Internal combustion simply wins this contest for now. We will have to wait for 2x-3x battery density to mount a proper challenge.
despite how silly this may seem to many in the HN audience, I will contend that:

if you were running a multi-billion dollar sugar water company whose main moat is the brand, and spent hundreds of millions on ads each year as one of the key line items in the budget, you too would want this level of sophistication and thought put into a brand refresh. Probably even more.

And you can imagine that this document was debated for weeks or months by the highest level executives as well as whole departments of marketers. They probably had multiple documents like this from multiple agencies. With that level of internal debate, all the granular side-by-side process diagrams are a necessary part of the UX here, to guide along the audience that only sees the pdf and can't talk to the agency designers.
> This actually does seem to be bad intuition to me, because your intuitive explanation isn't being expressed in terms of strategies. You wouldn't want to "attack this frontline unit" but would want to have a probability distribution over your potential options. This is similar how you wouldn't want to "play rock" in RPS, but would instead want to play {R: 1/3, P: 1/3, S: 1/3}.

My point is that your decision to attack is one that takes 3-5 turns with no meaningful possible positional maneuvering. So a game may have 200 turns but many fewer "decisions". There's not much "area control" like in many other strategic boardgames. It's more bluffing about your original setup choices. Every battle is reduced to a bet of whether your unit is higher or not and if it is, well you don't have a lot of agency on that. Especially if attacking.

I really wish for a ds9 remaster, which supposedly could be done in 16:9 since they were much more careful to not have mics etc inside the larger frame while filming.

But ds9 is not as popular as tng, and I think fewer of the effects where done on film, so it might bring in less revenue but may be even more expensive to remaster than tng.

Some people redid some ds9 battle scenes on YouTube and they look awesome. There’s also some remastered footage in the de8 documentary (I think “what u leave behind”?)

Makes u dream a little
Yes, one has to be careful about guessing what they probably did, because the processing was actually pretty complex, and astrophysics image processing is in general quite advanced. Saturation of the digital numbers coming from the detector is one consideration, but only one among many -- there is a lot going on.

The wikipedia article has a lot of details, including masking the CR's, removing some scattered light from Earth, the use of multiple color bands, and super-resolution using slightly different pointing from frame to frame. All this processing is done at the single-image level, and motivates dividing up the exposure time into chunks.

The ~340 exposures were taken over about 10 days and spread over 4 color bands. The typical integration time for one exposure appears to have been about 30 minutes.
I understand the confusion. C and C++ do indeed have aliasing rules and those rules do, as you point out, forbid type punning tricks. But as you can see I wasn't talking about type punning. Our uuencoded value isn't a type pun, and our pointer isn't the wrong type, it's the correct type with, miraculously, the correct value - It's a magic trick!

The C++ Standard is OK with this magic trick. Executing this trick in the C++ abstract machine is no problem at all.

However in a real world compiler this is a huge problem - because the optimiser assumes I can't possibly have such a pointer. Where would I get it from? This is where provenance comes into the picture. Where did my pointer come from, that's what provenance means. The C++ standard has nothing to say about provenance but your compiler depends on it.
Yep can confirm. If I had a Canadian passport, I would have no reason to stick to freezing Canada.

#NoTrueExperienceWithImmigrants
See, my exposure is not limited to hospitality because after work I didn’t go to my house in Chelsea. The first few weeks I went to my hostel in Isle of Dogs, Camden and Seven Sisters. Then I a went to my house share in Brixton, Peckham, Kilburn and Lewisham. I changed a lot of places because hostels have 1 week limit and renting is pain in the ars due to catch 22 on proof of address.

I met very large number of people from very different professions. Some unskilled, others blue collar and white collar. I’ve met legal and illegal people.

Where are all those lazy immigrants? Everyone was working.

I also don’t see any point of not working.

Also, the numbers suggest that the immigrants are indeed hard working and contributing more to the system than they take and their per person net contribution is higher that the natives.

What exactly makes you believe that the immigrants don’t work?
You don't know that. Sure there's lots of worlds there and even more space between them, but size and scale isn't everything. Meaning may be unevenly distributed. Universe could be fractal. Those could be minor variations of the same world, rather than many different ones. They could have laws of physics distinct from ours for all we know.
Stratego was probably my favorite board game as a kid, but, to be fair, when people these days say that they love board games what they probably mean is that they love Eurogames, which Stratego decidedly is not.

Haha love it. Question regarding getting the most from your application logs. My practice is to prefix log statements with the file name and function that’s generating the log. Jumping to that code is just a quick search away. But it does require a bit of manual work to write that extra metadata. I do this because devs just put random logs and it’s so hard to know where they’re coming from. Any best practices?
America is the only country that doesn't offer any type of parental leave.

You might get two or three days or something like that, and then everyone pats themselves on the back saying how progressive we are.

It's absolutely horrific when you consider people may have medical issues which cause them to need to take a bit more time off.

But guess what, you now have insane medical bills, and pressure to get back to work. It's not unheard of for a woman to just get fired if she takes off too much time for a pregnancy.

Sure, that's illegal, but workers are treated so horribly in America. You're lucky to get your paycheck half the time.
It's only in the summer where peak electricity demand happens around noon. It's largely flat across the board for much of the year [1]. Simply telling people to use less electricity is not a viable option.

> Regardless, nuclear and its permanent poisoning of the earth is not the answer.

By "poisoning the earth" you mean burying extremely small amounts of uranium half a kilometer under the ground. The entirety of the USA's nuclear waste from power generation fits in a volume the footprint of a football field and 10 yards high. That's 70 years of nuclear waste.

By comparison, renewables + natural gas is poisoning the atmosphere with greenhouse gases. And there's no plan to operate wind and solar without natural gas until a breakthrough storage solution is discovered.

You don’t need to know which specific 50 students are in the bottom two deciles, just that they exist and that your policy is to teach to what you’ve estimated is the 3rd decile and above.

You will find out who they are in the exams, but you know they exist in next year’s class even before that class is admitted to the uni.

If what you need is lectures, you'd download them from MIT OCW or watch them on YouTube or Khan Academy. Or possibly just read the textbook, which may also be free online, or you can download it from Library Genesis (if that's legal in your country), or buy it used for US$35. Also, I can strongly recommend Wikipedia and... visualization videos that aren't exactly lectures, like 3Blue1Brown stuff.

You wouldn't pay tens of thousands of dollars in tuition for lectures unless you were the kind of person that universities like Columbia try very hard to not admit.

Classes, however, are very valuable. You can ask questions when you don't understand things, you can talk with the other students to build shared understanding, you can get your homework graded and confirm that the things you weren't sure about on it were actually correct, you can take exams and test your skills. And those things are much, much better when there are 16 of you in the class rather than 128 or 512.

Huge yikes. I can understand adapting to the circumstances, but the concept of combat deployment becoming fun is highly alarming to me. My most charitable interpretation—that your sense of fun was derived from camaraderie during downtime under difficult circumstances, not from actual combat action or from thrill-seeking in a defensive position—the most minimal yikes I can muster is “I would never wish to watch MASH on fast forward this way”.
