I can't say I relate completely, but I do to some extent. 60-100lbs makes an enormous difference for me, even as a tall dude.

That said, even bottoming out at 6'2" 155lbs, there were still noticeable pockets of fat in the "bad areas" (chest, belly). This was probably due to low muscle mass, but it can be pretty crushing.

All that work and you don't look any better without a shirt on... but cloths fit better and I definitely looked better. That weight makes around a 5-20 year difference in appearance for me.

You could argue this should be a part of the fitness conversation. You probably won't achieve perfection and people with long term weight issues may never really get the desired results. This is definitely an area where body positivity is important.
If our habitable temperature was cooler or hotter, we would use different materials to best reflect that environment. I’m not so sure it is luck
Consolidation and resulting homogenization makes traditional daily news less fun and relevant. It's like any mass market: if you're not the target demographic, you don't get served.

Well this part of the whole liberal fantasies of decently well-meaning intent but absolutely the opposite results. In fact, because the people that came up with the agenda were wealthy themselves they had trouble imagining the full breadth of support people would need following their expensive programs. These folks had so little idea of what generational poverty actually looked like it seemed patronizing even at times, which is in itself a form of racism (read: white / upper caste savior complexes). While I think it's valuable and actually essential for a liberal democracy to have well educated voters we've forgotten that money is power and therefore without a well capitalized voting bloc it's going to devolve into umm.... what we have now.
Your ability to plan into the future is polynomial; the future's ability to do things you didn't expect is exponential. Reasonably low factors on each, at least generally (sometimes reality goes through periods of a much larger factor making planning hard even in the short term), but they're still in different classes. Combined with the fact planning is not itself free and a lot of the rest of the analysis after this becomes pretty obvious.
Same here. There is less opportunity for error picking it up yourself.
The article cites '66th in FL and outside top 1000' (from which I infer they are near 1000) as a demonstration of how ordinary they are.

There are about 27k high schools in the US, and 774 FL high schools. Bucholz high school has 2254 student and is the largest in Gainesville, per Wikipedia. All that to say that the article understates the starting point for this impressive endeavor.

I'd like to see Blockly packaged up as a stand-along desktop app w/ no sandboxing, ideally w/ connections to a GUI toolkit.
It won't be a simple redesign to tilt boards "slightly" because manufacturing processes that are already honed in need to be completely retooled, with likely more complexity (man different length of standoffs per board?)

And additionally, there are only a few key components of a motherboard that need cooling. Most of the passive components like the many many decoupling capacitors don't generate significant heat. The components that do require access to cool air are already fitted with finned heat sinks and even additional fans. They interact with air enough to where a slight tilt cannot make a meaningful difference.

Basically just adding a small piece of aluminum to key areas will work better than angling the whole board

Why bother measuring? Just imagine the outcomes and you'll be great. Or if you don't get them, blame that on enemy action.

If I understand correctly these numbers are a result of users viewing posts uniformly random? While the post is a nice overview of options, I doubt the numbers generalize to the much more realistic scenario of a power-law distribution of view counts for posts.
> "My personal hypothesis is that we’re increasingly being treated like assembly line workers."

Developers don't like hearing this but the vast majority of us _are_ effectively assembly line workers. We do little to no actual engineering, instead we plumb together pre-packaged framework, libraries, and software. We are treated as fungible because that sort of worker is intrinsically fungible; skill is involved in software development but not enough to elevate it from being a trade to being a profession. A symptom of this is the not infrequent HN posts complaining that "Nobody actually uses CS education in the real world"; assembly line workers don't need a degree to do their job either.
I think such brains would be killed off quickly and another one created until it is within the acceptable parameters.
I have been writing on my personal website for a few years, and more consistently in the last year. I started by writing about more technical topics and then moved on to writing essays.
My audience is small and participation nonexistent. But I always dreamed of being a writer and needed to put my stuff out there.
I got no recognition, for now, but I got new ways of expressing myself, a renewed interest in literature, the arts and other writers.
I live in france and my bank lets me download all (or a custom range of) my accounting history and my credit card history as either OFX, QIF or CSV. That's pretty neat and i can import it into Gnu Cash right away.
You would be astonished at how long phrases can last, with little sense behind it at all!

My favorite example is documented in Bully for Brontosaurus (see https://www.amazon.com/Bully-Brontosaurus-Reflections-Natura... if you want to buy it) in the essay, "The case of the creeping fox terrier clone." For close to a century, the first thing that everyone learned about the early horse Euohippus, officially known as Hyracotherium, was that it was "about the size of a small fox terrier". This despite the fact that essentially nobody knew what size a small fox terrier WAS. And despite the fact that later research found that the animal in question actually weighed several times what a fox terrier does! (But the shoulder height is indeed close.)

I've certainly seen the phrase "like the Nobel for mathematics" many times. I couldn't even have cited the original source. But it doesn't surprise me if this is the only thing most people have heard about the Fields medal. And it also doesn't surprise me that it would come from a movie.
I started a blog to improve my writing and keep notes. Most of my posts are private. However, I liked sharing my notes and often it made my knowledge set better.

It has been wildly successful and useful to me. Many of my consulting gigs have been found through my blog. I’ve been featured by a few people and get somewhere between 200k - 1m unique visitors a year. It’s been really fun and when I have time I really enjoy diving deep into topics (say firearms https://austingwalters.com/firearms-by-the-numbers/).

The past couple years, I have had far less time: but definitely plan on getting back to more regular posts.
yeah they are proposing them as values to adopt, and they are standing them up in contrast to existing conflicting values
And the discussion is whether any of your conclusions actually happen on reality.

Personally, I strongly suspect anybody that talks about mass entitlement. That's a phenomenon that I simply could not see on the real world. (Yet, many people keep saying it's there.)

Personal entitlement surely exist, but it never seems to extend over a population.
Journalistic Tools Fast: Declarative Programming with HTMX and Hyperscript
The $7 cost is substantially lower for the manufactures buying these things at scale. That would apply to outlets and work boxes, too, but I'm assuming the retail / wholesale difference is much higher with the mobile home parts.

I'm also going to guess that these are much faster to install that proper outlets and work boxes. I've never seen one of these things get built but I'd guess the ability to quickly throw up drywall and then be about to float these outlets wherever need be (similar to old work boxes), without needing to put boxes on studs and drywall around them is a considerable time savings. They may also have tooling that makes making those single wire connections much faster/reliable than you'd be able to attempt to do at home.
Again - this is because the public thinks abortion is a finicky woman choice being dramatic in the final moments. They’re uninformed and don’t know anything about abortion.

It’s like asking the public about monetary policy - they have opinions but they’re all shaped by the media and the fact that they know nothing about monetary policy to begin with. Most Americans really know nothing but will have opinions anyway.

This is the issue I’m talking about. When they are informed - their opinions change dramatically.
I don't know how much power efficiency would be saved - my concern is more that it is completely logical that running any part at higher temperatures causes increased risk of failure, whether it be a computer part or a mechanical part. How much? I don't know - I just don't blame JEDEC for recognizing this is not a clear and obvious win.

Imagine if the failure rate was raised by as little as 1%. RAM Failure is not uncommon compared to other parts - I've had it happen before and render a system unable to boot, that's why we have Memtest86 and not CPUtest86 or SSDtest86. A 1% increase in failure over 5 years would have effects just as unbelievable as the power saving that increasing the temperature would be. How many smartphones would be junked? How many PCs would be thrown out for not working by people who are average Joes who can't diagnose them, and the extra waste that generates from both disposing the old PC and purchasing a new one? Perhaps the new PC is more efficient, but which is better, greater emissions or more eWaste in the ground due to the new PC being likely more efficient than the old one?

The point is that it is not a clear win. With further research it might be, and I might be all for it. I'm only nitpicking the description of it as being a "compromise" as though it were obvious.

[@picture: I'm at my posting limit for the day because HN is, well... I'll leave their censorship policies for another day. I would agree with you if the RAM with the 90C limit were strictly ECC RAM because that is most often used in data centers and not consumer parts. Maybe we have non-ECC/85 RAM and ECC/90 RAM options...]
What I find interesting about this is that if you were to show typical folks a TV (out of the box) and an assembled bicycle, and ask which is fragile and which is not, essentially everyone would say the TV is fragile and, importantly, the bicycle is not fragile. After all, bicycles are meant to be ridden outdoors, in the rain, through all manner of conditions, bumping over curbs, falling over, etc.

When a TV is packed for shipping it actually becomes somewhat more durable. But it seems that when a bike is packed for shipping it seems it becomes more fragile than when assembled.
Note that the issue has been resolved.

> eSIM has one and only one user-friendly use-case: ahead of traveling abroad, to buy a local cell subscription without hassle of having to show up to a shop, or wait for mail-in.

And that's a pretty marginal one at that. When I've gotten SIMs for traveling, it was either <20 min at little shop (where I paid cash), or something I had mailed to me ahead of time which I swapped in the airport.
My household drives 0%, because we live in a major city. I don't even have a valid drivers' license. I already bike or take public transit to work every day.

> If you’re spending your limited time and effort on 2% measures we’ve all already lost.

We're talking about one measure, one that's specifically coextensive with managing your waste (assuming you don't throw your trash into a pile in the corner of your room). It takes me no extra time to throw a banana peel in the compost bin instead of the trash can; they're right next to each other.
How do you find forums like these?
Yes, in a limited form since it sticks to the lowest common denominator that can be implemented across most popular CPUs with decent performance and while producing consistent results. There's a follow-up proposal in progress to relax the "consistent results" part and allow for some slight precision wiggle room with instructions that couldn't be implemented otherwise (e.g. they could add an FMA instruction that compiles to native FMA where available or separate MUL-ADD otherwise, even though they won't produce exactly the same results).
The mentioned Progres extension, citus/postgresql-hll, hasn't been updated for about a year.

Is it really reliable to use it in production?
I literally disabled it.
I think this is asking too much of people. Like what are you saying? We literally create a possibility tree as a plan? That has so little utility compared to just creating the next two possibilities and choosing between the one that is most likely.

I think the problem with the long term plan is the destination. If your plan is based on being in a specific state (“I want us to have made this product in one year.”), it’s doomed because it’s very hard to target something that accurately that far away with everything that comes along as the posted article elaborates.

We should be shooting for an outcome. “I want us to have a way for our users to do X in a year.” That way, you’re less trying to wrestle a shoe onto a goose, and more coaxing something into shape based on where you want it to go. It also prescribes less so the path toward completion can always be optimal. For example, I know that for our users to be able to do X, we need to house the data in a certain way and expose these other services in a certain way. After those steps are achieved (or maybe they fail), we now know where we are in this moment and can take the next optimal path.

Also, bikes are certainly assumed to be durable objects that can take a beating.
I've been thinking recently that I wanted to start one, but I don't thin I would have the time to actually commit to something that would be current.

Instead, I'm thinking I might just link my Obsidian to public pages and do it that way, so it's a blog/knowledge dump - and I tend to keep that updated fairly often.
Curious as to what the advantages of this are over mpv?
I used Windows 2.01 at the time, and I deployed NT 3.1 in production.

Your claim is wrong. You said that the first Windows not based on DOS was 2000; that is not true. The first Windows not based on DOS was in 1993.

What name Microsoft marketing put on it is irrelevant. If you opened a command prompt on Windows 2000 and typed `ver`, it said Windows NT 5.0.

Do not get misled by branding. As Terry Pratchett said:

"Zoon tribes are very proud of their Liars. Other races get very annoyed about all this. They feel like the Zoon ought to have adopted more suitable titles, like ‘diplomat’ or ‘public relations officer.’ They feel they are poking fun of the whole thing."
- Equal Rites

Marketing means lying. Marketing took the letters "NT" out of Windows 2000's name, but that does not mean it was the first product of its kind. It was not. It was the fifth.
I get that this blog is one sided because it's literally from one of the sides, but not providing any details of the allegations seems sketchy, and makes me wonder what other important details he is omitting. Are we to assume that because this guy has a blog, he must not be guilty?
This is entirely unrelated to the discussion, but something interesting happened to this subchain and I can't just wander past :). I came back to this tab after a few hours to find (at the point I'd come back) that all three posts in this chain were marked as being written "45 minutes ago". All three of them. After having a bit of a memory crisis ("I read this last night... didn't I???") I searched for the text in one of them in Algolia, which found the post and confirmed it had been posted hours earlier. Algolia's now resynced to HN, and shows the same timestamps. Didn't properly investigate at the time. Woops. At least I grabbed a couple of screenshots. https://imgur.com/a/fInenj4

Whether or not you suspect he is guilty, according to the timeline, the police seized his property without justification delivered to him or his lawyer, which appears to be required by law. If you are ok with that for a suspected guilty person, I hope you aren't ever wrongly accused.

All the more argument why adopting the mindset is better than adopting the specific approach or program. The approach might be good for competitive-level math, but bad for the classroom. The mindset will allow teachers to adapt those ideas so they can be appropriate for the classroom.

This is not a useful summary of what happened.

In particular, it makes the classic mistake of comparing percentage of browser market as that market grew at a ridiculous rate and spread to more and "normal" people.

Crypto miners aren't honest about power use – time for a crackdown
I have an M1 MBA, not an M2, but for the M1 at least, you have to really hit the CPU hard to make it noticeably warm. It's CPU+GPU loads that make it toasty. In most use cases webpack would run for a few seconds and then stop, so throttling is unlikely.
I am always amazed at how poorly designed bathroom sink faucets are.

The spout where the water comes out is always so close to the far edge instead of to the middle of the sink.

Placing the spout so the water exits in the middle of the sink would be so much nicer. You wouldn't have to lean over, your hands wouldn't be hitting the back of the sink, and you'd have so much more room to wash your hands.

For me, it's worth it, but only because it's really low effort.

I don't "write" for an audience, it's just about non-controversial technical topics that I write for myself. If it's already in an org-mode format, why wouldn't I publish it then?

Some people find it useful, I also find it useful when I need to refer to my notes in the future, to know where to look at.

That being said, I never had an intention to have a big audience, or expect any business related gain.
Uber has quit a few markets like China and SE Asia that it was losing money hand over first in. And prices have been increasing.

My impression is that they sort of staked things on a pivot to UberEats, though that looks like a bust too.
That's for sure. I 100% agree that increased temperature will statistically increase failure rate. I'm just thinking that, the most common mechanisms of thermal failure in electronics are caused by repeated thermal cycling which cause fatigue and stress failures at interconnects (solder bumps, silicon bonding, etc). Data centers are designed to be operated in a relatively very constant temperature environment, so I would suspect that the failure rate may not be raised significantly.

My desktop text editor, KeenWrite[0], allows referencing variables within the main document text and figures. KeenWrite uses Kroki[1] to provide a wealth of diagram formats. In the screenshots[2], a Graphviz-based family tree is shown that uses character names sourced from an external YAML file. Those same variables can be used when writing prose. Change the variable in a single location and the family tree is updated and rendered immediately.

You can't do that with Google Docs, Lucid Chart, Word, OpenOffice, Scrivener, etc.

People will pay a premium for non-food items that they need today. For example: you’re hosting a party and have run out of wine or plastic cups or a wine ipener or whatever.

Tampons, toilet paper, razors, diapers, etc. are also things people often need right now and can’t easily get them (any parent with young children knows how much it sucks to run out of something at a point where the child is asleep - do you wake them to go to the store?)

Even random stuff like home improvement items - it really sucks to be covered in paint and then realize you need some sandpaper or whatever - having to clean off and go to the store in the middle if a project is a real pain.
