To add an example of a brilliant person who operated in a different way via heavy note-taking, philosopher Mortimer J. Adler advocated for note-taking for books that are important to study, after doing an initial read deliberately without note-taking (called "superficial reading").

He wrote a book about it—"How to Read a Book," published in 1940—which was summarized by the Farnam Street blog: https://fs.blog/how-to-read-a-book/
Abundance sand availability of food isn't the problem so much as what we've done with that abundance. If we were producing cheap, plant based healthy meals with balanced nutrition at low cost, things would generally be fine.
"One" would be troublesome... Two is actually common, three is in the red zone, four you refactor. Except in specific cases where 4+ arguments doesn't cause stack juggling.

Chuck Moore (inventor of Forth) said once that he don't use stack comments anymore. He claims that the arguments a definition takes should be obvious from the name or the definition (one-liners are common in Forth) or be documented somewhere else than in the code.
Moore's claims are often bold and hardly believable. But when you put it to the test yourself, they sometimes do work for you too. This one does work for me.

The answer to the "cognitive overload" argument is kind of trivial: "if it hurts, don't do it". The long answer is that concatenative languages have their idiomatic ways of doing things like any other language. Don't be stubborn; practice and embrace it.
Just for clarification, your definition of “diverse” here is effectively “not white,” correct?
Deezer made a study that evaluated peak music discovery at around 25 years old.

Weird, I've had the opposite experience. The vast majority are Asian, and most of those are of Indian descent. I would say about 30% of the candidates we get are white and many of those are European.
Why not? It may be slightly exaggerated, but it rings pretty from my experience. From a biological perspective, the sole "purpose" of any animal, humans included, is to reproduce, which is accomplished by not dying and, for males, mating as much as possible. Why should we be surprised that this is an overwhelming urge?
I'd say: What's managements position? are they happy with it? unhappy with it? Without support from above? you're screaming at the air.

If they have support? Then I would say a restructure should happen. People get switched around in teams to start to "balance out" the "diversity" so it's not all one ethnicity in a pot.

Second... hiring should happen with multiple inputs. That manager is biased? Are all the managers biased? No? Then he doesn't make the decision alone anymore. If it's a 3 manager panel that decides? 5? and there has to be consensus or majority rules votes?

Third... teams in my company come with a maximum size. If the team has no more room then new hires go elsewhere. If his team is too big? Time to break it up or move some program from his group to other groups. Something to "rebalance" the equation.

But really, these are decisions that are generally make or break by corporate culture and without buy-in from above? Then there's nothing you can do.
Paraphrased: >an array of more than 20 large radar antennas,

each with a diameter of 82 to 98 feet (25 to 30 meters) to track Asteroids;

The array aims to bounce signals off asteroids within 93 million miles (150 million kilometers) of Earth (about as distant as the sun)

but few details about the project, such as the wavelengths at which it will operate, are available.<

Nor frequency band width, power levels or spot beam size, I assume this has Military uses too!
>That's a circular argument

It is not. Many developers have tried and stats have shown the cost of porting Games to Mac, as well as maintaining it with each macOS changes were not sustainable with its revenue generation. That is at least for Games coming from console or PC.

This may change if those Games come from Mobile Platform.
Where it began, I can't begin to know when. But then I know it's growing strong.

Unless you need to deal with companies that use certificates from countries that you do not trust, why not just delete/distrust them?

The organisation behind Firefox is the Mozilla Corporation, which is owned by the Mozilla Foundation. It's not particularly easy to find out what its legal status is, but that probably doesn't matter. It is not obliged to carry anyone's root certificates. There would be a market share cost for not doing so, but that's it.
I picked up Skyrim for my Switch when it was on sale a month or two back and was very happy at how good a job they did with the port. Yes it is a 10 year old game but the Switch is 5 year old mobile hardware and weak harder at that so it wasn't a given it would be as good a port as it is.

Sure you don't get mods, etc. so it is just vanilla Skyrim but it is still a wonderful experience.

Of course I kinda want to try it on the Steam Deck now, I wonder how well it plays there with a bunch of QoL mods?
> I am not conflating anything. I have had a very similar experience in EU and Singapore and while the case of Singapore is ethnic preference in EU it's about the language even if the working language is english.

Are you complaining that people in Europe talk their native language instead of English and that a company located somewhere prefers hiring locally? Whether a company is international or not is irrelevant.

You are certainly implying that 2 distinct situations are equivalent and it's "a problem" for you. I don't see where the problem is, personally.

Now if you have witnessed specific instances of racism or racial discrimination at work or during the hiring process, then you should report it to HR or the proper local authorities.
As a heads up though as suggested by the name "ManualAppUpdateOnly" doesn't just disable the notification it completely disables the entire auto-update system. Not only will you not get notifications about updates you will not get updates at all until you remember to check the about dialog or manually download them. This is intended for environments that have managed packages where the browser doesn't need to update itself.
Using the 83(b) election, when you’re granted RSUs you are able to pay tax on the value at the time of grant. This can mitigate a lot of the pitfalls mention in the thread.

Unless there is some compelling reason (that you haven’t shared) for you to stay, just leave. Find another job.

Life is too short to put up with shit like this. Or to stay and fix the problem. Maybe let them know politely the reason when you leave, but that is likely to fall in deaf ears too.

Obviously no-one games on mac, because Skyrim isn't on it!
Yet somehow in actual tyrannical states it doesn't solve anything, and in states where there are more guns than population it mostly just costs the lives of childen and citizens who were going about their day.

Life also doesn't revolve around states and guns, and countries that do seem to have a partial culture revolving around just that are generally very young countries that seem to be stuck in a vicious circle.

Instead of blindly deferring reality to an amendment to a man-made rule you could also engage in proactive betterment of society.
You have to pay taxes on RSU when they vest, regardless of whether you sell or not. It's basically considered cash compensation, but instead of cash you receive shares.

Since your company is pre IPO, they may have a dual trigger vesting schedule, where shares vest over time but require an actual liquidity event for you to actually receive the shares, giving you no tax liability while the company isn't public. However, this means that once the company goes public, you'll have to pay all of that liability at once, at ordinary income tax rates.

Disney, NBC, HBO etc would never pay Netflix, their competitor in the video entertainment industry, for any tech. At best Netflix could provide tech for smaller players like Crunchyroll, Nebula, Mubi, Spuul etc.
YOLOv7 – A breakdown of how it works
If you are going to sell a commercial license, having only a commercial license is the simplest thing that might work.

If someone wants the source. Sell them a source code license developer by your attorney who can be paid with the proceeds of commercial license sales.

And charge for source code access so you make money off it.
Well from my understanding they'd only be equal if the middle aged person were in perfect health.

The real issue with QUALYs is that it discounts the lives of disabled folks because they might never be 100% "healthy".
I agree, Brave has pretty good privacy protections, anti-fingerprinting and ad-blocking out of the box. No need to install dozen of extensions and custom user.js like in Firefox. Only extension that I need is password manager and I'm good to go.

Brave on Android is also best Android browser I used.
Alienation is a problem. But it's not a problem unique to food.

Yes, it's very obvious in food, but I think what you are describing is a symptom, not a cause.

Solve the causes of alienation, solve the food consumption problem.
The universities themselves are not selective, any university would be ‘university’ (highest) level.

The middle level are now called Universities of Applied Sciences, which give out a bachelors, but as far as I know never a masters diploma.

The lowest level are vocational colleges, which don’t give you any internationally recognized credential at all (but do train you to do a variety of occupations).

You basically get sorted into one of these levels once you leave elementary school based on educational skill and aptitude (by your final year teacher), and while changing is possible, it costs you years (which still seem very precious at the time).

If you meet any Dutch person outside the Netherlands they almost per definition are middle level or higher, because anyone without a bachelors diploma often doesn’t get to immigrate (depending on country).

I don't think writing a piece about privacy and then including dozens of trackers is honest and helping the case at all; "evil publisher" isn't an excuse. Can't have your cake and eat it, too.
Makes you wonder where the banks are in all of this, and were is their due diligence. Seems the banks are making two critical errors that led to this whole mess:

* Giving out loans on properties that have yet to be built. In the event of default there is no underlying asset that the bank can use to recoup their investment.

* Improper controls on escrow. If you're handing out a loan for a property that has yet to be built, why would you not control escrow to make sure the money was spent appropriately.

My impression is that it seems everyone is just trying to make a quick buck over there, everyone is secretly jockeying to be a little bit better off themselves. But what happens when literally everyone in an industry is jockeying, eventually things will go off the rails.
> Do JS engines actually still have any Asm.js optimisation code

It's not 'Asm.js' optimisation code - it's normal optimisations that were there before Asm.js, and are still useful.

(I'm sure there are some exceptions and some thing were Asm.js-specific, but the basics are generic.)
What lies beneath: how gametheory logic underpins seemingly irrational decisions
I wish someone would explain the rise of the the "everyone is an insider" trading windows thing. There's really no legitimate reason that I can come up with for the lack of proper controls that creates and perpetuates this situation. I imagine executive insiders like it for the stability it brings the stock, but still.
I think it would be more useful to track weight produced. This statistic is probably hard to track...

A good proxy would be to multiply the number of animals by the Animal Unit Equivalents (AUE).

Why do you inherently ascribe it to "male loser" vs. just "loser"?
OP's point is that we're all hypocrites to some degree. Expecting someone to be doing everything right before they can comment on how we can all improve leaves us waiting for deity to resolve our problems.
I have two nieces who are engineers (one robotics, one aerospace). They're both young, just starting their careers, but it seems clear to me that both are very talented, and certainly very conscientious hard workers.

It really bugs me that they'll always have this asterisk on their careers. Regardless of what they achieve, there will always be that footnote saying "but they got special advantages because they were women". Even if they didn't need those special advantages, they were there, and so the two of them will always have to wonder how much of their accomplishments are truly their own.
Maybe we should stop looking to government for that?
If you only work with people who are like you, you will only ever build products suited for people like you.

Pioneering climate change research reveals long-term global carbon cycle impacts
And if you become a cop, you can choose not to arrest those people.
> If the first world population used air conditioning less, it would allow poor people, the third world, who tend to live in environments that are hotter and more subject to costs of climate change, to use air conditioning more without adding more to humanity's carbon footprint.

This is not the only way. We could also produce cleaner energy in the first world by e.g. building nuclear, solar and (probably off-shore) wind. Then those of us in the first world and the poor of the third world could have the life-saving AC technology, and maybe make the third world a bit richer in the process.
That is because you mistake Russian media for free and truth seeking media. You probably missed the closing down of many news agencies in the past years (that have seen a growing repression from Putin), and perhaps you missed the exodus of journalists and shutdown of the last independent media from Russia.

The only thing you can get is the propaganda from the Kremlin. That propaganda is the crucial part of the Russian warfare. It functions to sow doubt about the truth. It is instrumental to get people to believe that Ukraine downed MH17. If Russia commits war crimes, its media start to spout different explanations, often mutually exclusive ones. Lies, damned lies, stupid lies, but it takes a lot of effort to deconstruct even the most plainly stupid ones of them. The effect is that you see a variety of nonsense, which makes you think about it as it sows confusion. This is known as the Firehose of Falsehoods. You are not sure anymore, some of your friends might buy one of the lies, while another one might stick better with you because it fits your beliefs better. This has nothing to do with understanding the truth.

You cannot compare our free press to the russian media.
I am very critical about our media, also because they seem to be ignorant about the dynamics of our media which the Kremlin perfectly knows to exploit.

One of the pitfalls we have been observing is the one of False Balance, where you present the statements of one side as is, although it is complete garbage. Deconstructing false statements takes time, knowledge and a deep understanding of the context of events.
Now look at the financial incentives and you see why we have got a huge problem in our western societies that rely on commercial entities to provide our news.

The bad news is: Firehose of Falsehoods is extremely effective! Look at Trump and his relationships with truth. He gives a new meaning to it.

Now you might think you are smart and special, so propaganda has no effect on you. Just like everyone else thinks.
It is a poison, there is no reason to drink it.
Presumably they were also easier to get than The Who.
The problem is that a profitable entertainment service used and enjoyed by many is somehow going to "not survive" based on unrealistic models applied by people that are neither consumers or producers of the profitable service itself.
> Seems your precise disagreement with the author is: the author thinks that FP is useful and you don’t.

I'm afraid you've misunderstood my point. I had no intent to make a value judgement about FP whatsoever, one way or the other.

My criticism is about the messaging.

IMO this piece misses the mark because it starts off with a faulty premise, and it's the same mistake I've seen made by every other article about FP.

My comment was inspired by the fact that I got to the end of the piece thinking "that's pretty cool, but I still don't understand why I should care about this in practice", and then I looked back at the thesis and realized the author never intended to explain that because they misunderstood the motivation for writing "Why Functional Programming Matters" in the first place.
The western influences are definitely very heavy. I’m surprised that this article and others don’t mention Elliot Golde as Philip Marlowe in the Long Goodbye for Spike. Between the dialogue, melancholy but hopeful attitude with a tinge of offbeat goofiness, and disheveled appearance complete with cigarette it’s almost uncanny. The only thing missing is his Bruce Lee influences as noted.
> I've lived in a city where 911 is the only way to reach police dispatch

My current city is like this, but more. If you need to reach a detective to return a call, you need to call 911 and ask to be transferred. Otoh, CenturyLink has broken 911 service for days a couple times since I moved here; an alternate number for the county has been provided, which will probably work for emergencies, but maybe not for returning calls.
IF you run a business that you need to promote, there is no real way around using social media to promote it in some capacity. If you are rich, you can probably just hire a marketing firm to handle the seedy underbelly of it all I guess.

The problem I notice frequently with the world now is that too many people are rooted in reality by their own perceptions and understanding, and they can't understand the experiences and struggles of others. It's so comfortable to project the attitude of "It's fine for me, therefore it's fine for everyone else" that it disrupts debate and resolution of meaningful problems our world faces. We're all so used to bonding with others that have our exact same composition and outlook, that wen end up being blind to others that don't fit into that.

We need to stop using individual tropes like this to dismiss and answer problems, they are really not applicable to the issue for so many others, and really not helpful in discussions.

For many people around the world, finding 5$ a day for dinner based on social media posting success would dramatically change their quality of life. Social media companies literally make Billions of dollars, and share VERY LITTLE of it with contributors... Opportunity in this world is shrinking along with all the other crises many struggling people face, the matter is much larger than turning off TVs and preventing kids from using devices in schools.

No offense intended, But to act as if you can simply "turn it all off" and enjoy life is not an option for many many people... Walk in the shoes of others here, look at discussions through different glasses than your own.
I had a similar experience on that drive from SF to LA. I remember a UPS truck driving by me and the man inside wearing a face mask (this was pre COVID). I thought it was the weirdest thing. A few miles later though and you hit stench. It's hard to do it justice in a comment. Saying it's the foulest thing I've ever smelled really fails to capture it.
I mean, no, not really, unless you're appending |0 to everything like a compiler would, i.e. ((a|0) / (b|0))|0.

I'm not saying it's useless, asm.js used this trick to great effect. I'm just saying that unless the situation is more complex and doing a bitwise operation actually encodes information (like the &0xff example in a sibling comment, from which the compiler can deduce "this is a uint8"), it's unlikely you're giving the compiler more information than it's already capable of deducing on its own.
the demographic equivalent to flat earthers: extinction fear mongers. Author believes in Musk, should tell you everything
Friends of ours have a pretty okay-ish implementation for social media for their kids. They make the kid the 'brand manager' for a pet first. The kid gets the interaction of social media and their friends, but they have to do it for their dog/cat for a year first, then they can get their own account. The kids have gotten some low level brand sponsorships for the pets, something that the other kids at school are jealous of, or so I am told. The kiddos know the ins and outs of social media from the business side a bit more, though I am skeptical of that. Also, the pets are eating and getting toys at a discount, kinda. Seems like not the worst of ideas and allows for a soft entry into that hellscape.
Nice website! Programming is the most fun when you're applying it to something you personally care about, so you're in a great position already.
Somewhat off-topic, but perhaps the smart people on HN can help me with this.

The one thing that keeps me from switching from Safari to Firefox is that I cannot customize tab switching. In every macOS program I use, I use the same key binding to switch between tabs. Because there is no "Next tab" or "Previous tab" menu item in Firefox, I cannot assign this function to a key with the macOS keyboard shortcuts in System Preferences.

I've looked in Firefox's setting and searched online and haven't found anything that helps. Though, to be honest, I'd prefer it to be part of the system native options so that it can follow me during upgrades.

At this point, I'm willing to consider employing BetterTouchTool, if that's a solution. But again, I'd rather go native.
It interests me the different responses from different museums.

Especially when there is clear evidence of illegal provenance.
A big part of early 20th-c. sociology was specifically concerned with their equivalent of "elite overproduction". The problem as they saw it was not so much "losers" in anything like an objective sense, but aspiring elites who viewed themselves as oppressed losers out of a misguided sense of entitlement.
By the time a company is issuing RSUs instead of options, the cost to pay those taxes at time of grant is likely out of reach for all but the most already-well-off employees.
I will say, YouTube killed my nephew’s interest in programming and tinkering. He started out with all sorts of interests and teaching himself how to code. Now he just watches YouTube and TikTok like all the other sheep and does nothing interesting.
Are you being serious? This is a pretty low grade comment.
I found this to be the norm in EU/Singapore so unfortunately it would be very hard to find a company that does not work like that.
