> reminder that society's literary prowess is not what it once was

What a chuckle. Just because a medium is unfamiliar to you doesn't mean it lacks prowess. I doubt the early 2000s will be remembered as a dark period in the history of literature or media in general. Check your tone because you'll never sound smart with this attitude in retrospect.

I think you have the right numbers. I was just going off the top of my head based on last time I looked at it.

For some reason your link isn't working, but I was using this report[1]

33% percent of pedestrians were intoxicated, which matches your number.

Another 16% of the pedestrians were on freeways or interstates.

There is no number, but I would guess using a smartphone when crossing streets and not using cross walks are also big risk factors.

I say this not to "blame the victim" but point out that if someone is concerned about being hit by a car, there are a number of simple steps that the pedestrian can take to drastically reduce their risk.

you would be shocked at how effective simple things like this are at stopping 90%+ of the bad actors, leaving significantly less manual work to identify the remaining 10%
Very much disagree on this point - I've both started threads there and contributed to threads there in response, and twice admins have locked my thread beacuse they claim I had no intention to change my mind in the first place - as far as I can tell, if you debate people trying to change your view, then you're soapboxing, rather than trying to clarify the argument.

I haven't posted on r/changemyview since. It's not fit for purpose, and in fact many threads consist of the OP saying "Wow, you're right! Mind changed." to a rather poor argument rather than interrogating it.

Both replies makes a lot of sense.

Here in Argentina, many stories about the independence war have mules because "they are better in mountain terrain". Reading some material a few years later, IIRC there where big transport business from Argentina to Bolivia/Peru and Chile that have mule breading facilities. If you have a big transport business or military operation, it makes sense to separate your breeding animals and have specialize work animal. But if you are a farmer with only a few animals, you can't do that.
Ask HN: How do you study back end without writing/touching front end code?
What are your methods of learning back-end development without ever touching or creating a front-end counterpart of a project.

Here are some questions that may set a guideline for the discussion:
- What are your methods of writing and testing certain APIs or algorithms (e.g. rate limiters)?
- How do you benchmark/stress-test your code?
- Resources on how you can improve your back-end development skills?

Feel free to ignore the questions and answer in your own way.
Yes, although its Punjabi Name is not literal translation of Horse Gram, but its pretty much known that give this to Horses to give them strength. We people eat it lightly roasted, and munch on it, and in traditional cooking way too. Chana Daal.

But its attached to Horses only, not Buffalo, Cow, Donkey etc.
Engineering solution: generate a system of valid commonly-pronounceable phonotactics (rules like consonant-vowel-consonant is an allowed syllable). Banlist any name with >N people bearing that name (there's always gonna be outliers/collisions/future names).

With Toki Pona's inventory (mnptkswljaeiou), limited phonotactics (CV), and 3 syllables you get about 45 unique syllables, or 91,125 words. Add more syllables or phonotactics as needed. Affix the year - "Kalada-22". Add filters (profanity, too close to certain names, etc) as needed, you have overhead. Regenerate/reuse yearly unless retired.

That should be easily enough to name every hurricane, heat wave, flash flood, tornado, pandemic, rat infestation, and mercury retrograde, while being pronounceable, and memorable enough if it becomes newsworthy.
I was actually curious about this. I didn't realize that HomeKit-compatible doorbells existed. The product page for the Logitech Circle View Wired Doorbell (the least expensive listed on apple.com) notes "Receive rich notifications with two-way audio across all your Apple devices whenever a person or package is at the door." So maybe access via PC/web is what's missing?

Most family dogs will just roll over for belly rubs once the burglar is inside, but the barking is a great deterrent because it draws attention. The burglar has no idea if that is normal or not, and if someone else might hear it and come investigate.

The Greek delta being used as a "o" irks me a bit too, because to me it looks very much like a consonant, but I make a one-off exception for this project.
This gem was front and centre: "The language would also re-affirm that the purchase of stocks and dividends are not an eligible use of CHIPS funds as determined by the eligible use of funds already required under the FY21 NDAA."

One of the benefits of being in this industry for a while is that you learn to spot and avoid fads. You even learn classes of fads.

Microservices instantly looked like a fad. Two classes of fad apply. One is a "move stuff around and complexity will magically go away" fallacy fad. The other is a "way to promote vendor lock-in or higher cost" fad.

Other major classes of fads are: consultant self promotion fads, re-invention fads of all kinds in which devs speed run the history of some aspect of computing to arrive at the same place, magic pixie dust fads where sprinkling some buzzword on things makes everything better, management "methodology" panacea fads, etc.

Avoiding fads is a superpower. It tends to save a whole lot of money and wasted time.

The test of whether something is a fad is whether it reduces incidental complexity, enables something categorically new, or genuinely boosts developer velocity.

Incidental complexity is the complexity that creeps into our designs that is not essential to the problem but an artifact of how we got there or some prior limitation in how things are done. A genuine innovation will make incidental complexity actually go away, but not by pretending that essential complexity doesn't exist.

A categorically new thing would be e.g. deep learning or an actually practical and useful provably-safe language (Rust).

Boosting developer velocity means actually speeding up time to ship without doing so by adding a ton of technical debt or making the product suck.

If something doesn't do at least one of those things well, it's a fad.

I would recommend not moving around files that are under program control. Have a means to do so through the program.

If the program must support files being moved underneath it, use an extended attribute to mark the files with a UUID or equivalent such as NTFS's OBJECTID. If that is not possible, use a combination of the file's fileid or inode number and its mtime and size to match up the missing files with files found elsewhere.
I think they recently started hiring juniors too.

My experience with meeting Netflix people from conferences and also interviewing is that they definitely seemed older.

> The ability for a single feature of your application to go down without taking the rest down with it is a big bonus of a properly designed microservices architecture.

Yes, but it also comes with a cost. Microservices might still fail in a cascade manner and bringing such system up under significant load is even more challenging.

I very much agree! Having a middle-ground cpu was awesome: quad channel ram, 64x pcie, attainably priced. Awesome & will be sorely missed.

It'll be interesting to see if higher rev pcie (5.0, 6.0) ever start getting used in new ways. Im not sure that it makes sense to have even a flagship gaming GPU using 16x slots at 5.0. Seeing motherboards with a mix of slot sizes would be neat.
I think that is rather uncharitable, there is a pretty good mix of people here.

Yes, some are trying to sell themselves, which may be distasteful to you but people need to eat.

Others are activists, pushing their views.

Others here are just reading and occasionally commenting, like myself.

But there are also a lot of very passionate and smart people here who are pushing boundaries and limits with what they can do in terms of hardware and software.

From what I have gleaned from the posts made by the so-called 'shriekers' on Twitter, their style is to post and react in hyperbolic and pearl-clutching way. To be worried about something is one thing, to be gravely concerned is another, but it seems like such people routinely catastrophize and grandstand on issues that the average person would not consider that serious. I suspect this is because there is a feedback loop due to the way engagement works on social media.

I like your perspective of criticism to a power/derivative level, but that's not the angle I'm trying to come from. Rather, I am saying the nature of the criticism is what distinguishes between the two.

There’s a scene in the movie Training Day when Ethan Hawke’s character is being told a nonsensical joke by someone, who claims if he understands the joke, he understands the streets. Hawke doesn’t get the punchline but laughs anyway.

There are all kinds of internet theories about the joke, but this makes me realize it wasn’t ever about the joke itself, it was about Hawke voluntarily going along with the nonsense coming out of the other character’s mouth. Which is the exact behavior the criminal character wanted to elicit and evaluate.
> Or in other words: “It’s ‘dess-turb-uhd’, with THREE vowels! Not that nasty word ‘dess-turbd’ which is impossible to pronounce!

I had a Professor who pronounced the -ed that was at the end of a word as its own syllable. She loved doing that, and it actually wasn't noticable after a short while.

> What a horrible degradation of the language!”

It's not that different from people today saying "wanna" for "want to" or even "me wan go home" for "I want to go home".

Idioms and dialects abound!
That's hyperbolic at best.

Trust & Safety at google is a function google wished did not need to exist. People put all kinds of really horrific stuff online and on google sites/products.

In the finance org there are "lots of ex goldman". In various orgs there are "lots of ex mckinsey". The fact that one specific X tend to be more in one org is a function of skill set. This is common sense.

It's up to the police to show they have probable cause before they collect data. That's what warrants and judges are for. Anything collected without a warrant should be de-facto considered suspect. Why would you give agents of the government the benefit of the doubt here?

"Ampersand" is like "could of", and yet is not like it.

Ampersand is a change in sounds, for the sake of easier pronunciation:

and per se and # original
andperseand # remove spaces
andpers'and # drop extra vowel, for slightly faster speech
an'pers'and # drop extra consonant, for same reason
anpersand # drop apostrophes
ampersand # transform "n" to its neighbor, "m", because it's easier to say before "p"

These are all merely changes in sounds, the consonants and the vowels, the "phonemes" as linguists call them. The course from "am not" to "ain't" follows a similar pattern.

"Could of", on the other hand, is not phonological but morphological --- a change in meaning, because "of" doesn't mean "have". Or maybe it is merely typographic, because what they could have written is "could've", which sounds the same as "could of" --- and it's probably what they meant but simply made the same mistake as when you accidentally write "there" instead of "their".

And I don't believe your repulsion is "irrational", as you say. There is value in preserving the current state of language, of slowing down its changes, simply for the sake of intelligibility, for now and for posterity. A single instance of one person correcting someone else's "could of" is a like throwing an ice cube atop a melting glacier, but like voting in a general election, but it is no reason to just give up. (Of course the stakes are low, so we must say it only if it will be well received.)

Now there is a class of "corrections" that are misguided, I think, like the rule that you cannot end a sentence with a preposition. That arose from lovers of Latin, which doesn't end sentences in prepositions because it is impossible, and they were trying to make English more like Latin.

I lean toward "is," on average.

The assumption is that large course deviations are unlikely and not sudden. It's like air temperature: the best predictor of tomorrow's temperature, without knowing much or anything else, is today's temperature.
A person in a strong relationship today is more likely to be in a relationship a month from now than someone in a "weaker" relationship today. You might say, "Well, that's obvious," but it's a similar lens to the one we use to look at other people's professional lives, which is that, by and large, people are more likely to be in the future what they have been for five years than what you think their potential might be.

As someone who worked in academia before moving to the technology sector, the main concern I found with hiring managers was that I would be "too academic." You may think these labels are meaningless: everyone can change and adapt quickly to new realities or to their jobs. But there is a certain mindset that undoubtedly can remain for quite some time, when not forever.
> The use of "these days" here makes me think that you consider comic books with a political message (or Message, as you spell it) are a new phenomenon.

You went on a whole rant based on a poor assumption.

> Superhero comics without significant, explicit political messaging are rare in the history of the medium.

Your entire post is based around poor assumptions:

My comment was about the relative importance of political message and themes versus the quality of story telling — which you misconstrued as some kind of extremist statement about “no politics in comics!”
I know the received wisdom is to always keep moving, and never accept counter-offers. You've found happiness in staying in place. I've done both at different times. I think everybody has to make judgments based on where they are and what they're looking for, and a general rule might not apply in every case.

To broadly generalize, when I was younger I think it made more sense to move up by switching companies, and I'm not sure I really valued a stable team with great coworkers as much as I should have. When you find a really good team, that's worth staying in place.
> honestly believe that war is one of mankind's stupidest invention and suspect that there are no heroes on any battlefield - only naive, stupid and unlucky ones that mostly use pieces of metal with high kinetic energy to pierce through flesh of others.

I strongly disagree with that. There were and are plenty of heoric people who chose to put themselves in harm's way and die if necessary, in order to save other people and prevent the world from becoming a worse place. Sometimes the good and evil in war are not so clear, but there are also plenty of clear-cut situations where it's obvious that the invaders will just rape, torture and kill people until someone stops them.

In the past if you made a movie with a lot of sex and violence, you might get some angry letters from conservative moral majority types. But eventually, people learned not to pay too much attention to those letter writers, because they didn't represent the preferences of the actual paying audience.

I don't think discussing those letter writers is similar to engaging in the actual pressure campaign, but it doesn't matter much anyway.

I just think it's likely that the people who prefer to see political ads are small in number but feel strongly and the people who prefer not to see political ads are large in number but less likely to organize around it.

This was known for two years. Markets are breeding grounds for zoonotic diseases. They often even jump from human to animal and back.

The real question is--how did the virus get to the live market?

The study accurately says, "While there is insufficient evidence to define upstream events, and exact circumstances remain obscure, our analyses indicate that the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 occurred via the live wildlife trade in China, and show that the Huanan market was the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic."

Ask HN: Does YouTube play junk when you fall asleep?
-- noticed that when youtube thinks I'm sleeping the stuff it serves up on auto is mostly junk - almost always stuff way outside my interests - often very old - I was trying to think why the algo picks such strange stuff for me to watch when I'm asleep - the only good thing I could come up with is that they know i'm asleep - don't want to pay ad revenue when I'm asleep - this happen with anyone else? --
Which way is the causation? Unless there is collusion amongst all automakers to make more bigger vehicles, I would assume carmakers are making what people want. Outside of Covid supply chain, I have never heard of people being unable to buy cars and having to settle for SUV/pickup trucks.
Science is built on trust, no one reproduces every single finding and in the first place we measure the likelihood of some conclusion holding up in reality so we have probabilistic measures of trust in our conclusions, turns out that we can definitely build a society on this kind of trust.
