This is very common/normal. My last company got eaten in a merger (acquisition) most of the senior leadership from the old company, are now at a competing company. They did not all end up there by random chance. Network network network. It's self reinforcing, because those people know who will get the job done, and make them look good doing it. It's often better to hire a known good person, rather than roll the dice on someone new.
> Yet another datapoint to suggest the gp post that academia strongly correlates with dishonesty.

There's no dishonesty here!

They are reporting data to the standard of their community. We need to raise the level of rigor and convince people to drop the entire concept of statistically significant as meaning anything at all. This all taking far too long unfortunately.

Statisticians made a terrible terrible mistake that doomed science to this bullshit for nearly a century now. People like Pearson and Fisher had good intentions, but the language they used for their methods makes them sound too attractive. So people interpret their methods to be something they are not. We need an overhaul of teaching throughout statistics to excise this cancer now, and that's going to just be very slow.

So no. Authors are doing what they were taught, what is likely best practices in their textbook. It's just that the textbook has been wrong for far too long.
Fully agreed humility is necessary to realize when one absolutely is or likely is incorrect. My comment was WRT when people submit knowing the path is wrong due to the threats of retribution from their colleagues (which includes ostracism or negative career effects).

One thing I dont understand is why American culture is such that it's better to play nice to the group detriment than to work hard to everyone's benefit? It's like people would rather smile on a sinking ship than suffer the journey to excellence.
Yes, because you survived. If you hadn't survived, you wouldn't be able to tell us this. Consider you may have just been lucky. Or would you care to repeat the experience a few more times so we can get data?

But isn't that sort of an easy thing to generalize? (forgive me). It's not about need. It's about want. Everyone surrounding you has a big truck, you need one too. You buy a bigger truck than them, now it's up to everyone else to step and make theirs bigger, meaner, louder, etc. You spit coal out of your exhaust? Cool, now I spit more. Pretty simple human behaviors, unfortunately.
Are you too young to have experienced cable pricing?

The increase is more than inflation, which is already high.

This will not be the last increase. I predict bi-yearly increases that keep the pricing well ahead of inflation.

I don't think there is really much of a debate, anything older than around 15 to 20 year (depending on who you ask, there isn't really a hard threshold) is pretty much retro. E.g. nowadays an Xbox 360 or PS3 console (both released around mid-2000s) is considered a retro console and you can find them in various retro YouTube channels. Even the games released for them have a distinct "feel" and visual style.

WinXP, released in 2001, is full-on retro :-P.

It might sound weird if you grew up to think retro as machines like ZX Spectrum, Atari 2600, Commodore 64, Apple 2, etc but time does move forward and with it also does the concept of what is retro :-) (and those machines are retro too of course :-P).

Russia is probably suffering from the sunk cost fallacy: this war has been painfully expensive, but they don't have anything to show for that expense.

Realistically, if you were to imagine what the negotiating table looks like at this point, Ukraine is aiming for restoration of its pre-2014 borders--that is recovery of Luhansk and Donetsk, not to mention Crimea. Those terms are almost certainly nonstarters to Russia, but Russia hasn't inflicted sufficient damage on Ukraine to cause them to ask for anything less. For its part, Russia seems determined still to ask for annexation of large parts of Ukraine--they are currently attempting to put together a referendum showing that occupied Kherson wants to be part of Russia (and it seems the current offensive is interfering with their planned timetable--embarrassingly, they might not hold Kherson when the "referendum" is currently planned).

So the only way that Russia is likely to capitulate is if the military situation is so hopeless that it has to admit defeat in the conflict. The military situation has yet to reach that point, though. Instead, we seem to be set for a years-long grinding stalemate as the most likely outcome.

I think the counter would be to spread it out more. One a week on a 10 week show gets 3 months. Throw a couple 2 week breaks in the middle of a season and you squeeze an extra month out.

> It’s not ego, it’s economics. Smaller light-duty trucks were regulated out of existence by tighter fuel standards. Because regulations were made looser on larger vehicles, the easiest way for automakers to meet the standard is to build a bigger truck.

The government skews yet another market with unintended consequences using regulations & intervention. Big surprise. The only solution is more government regulation & intervention.

Right at the top of this article I found myself surprised by the idea that people in the 1600s had figured out a way to safely look at the sun through a telescope and make observations about sun spots.

I don't know much about this, except that you can do it on a telescope today by putting in a solar lens, which looks basically opaque, as that's what it takes to reduce the light of the sun to something we can handle. I spent a while googling to figure out how they did it and got basically nothing.

So, HN, does anyone know how the early telescope users figured this out? How many went blind trying different filtering approaches before they got a "just right" filter that let enough light through to observe the sun without hurting themselves?
It seems like that might be changing again though, now that non-renewable energy prices are so high.
Most of the newer trucks have front facing cameras because of that. I have a "Mid Size" truck which sits fairly high. Since it doesn't have front cameras, I often back into parking spots so I can make use of my rear view camera to assist.
I dunno about meaner… (that's a personal feeling) there was a time cars acquired a bug-like appearance and depending on people some fear bugs more than others and could be interpreted as “meaner”; however it was mostly just an ‘organic look’ trend. To many others bugs look cute, so...
Honestly, I might be wrong, but in my experience the target consumers for no-code/low-code aren't the people completely intimidated by computers or navigating software in the first place. However, someone who wants to build a tool for themselves or someone else are not necessarily experienced enough to build it using code, and these seem to me to be the ones who are more likely to turn to a low-code solution. In the sense that using software someone else wrote, that has a UI and operates in a familiar way, is a lot more easier for many than writing code from scratch.

If you were trying to write a simple Python program, you'd need to know how to run it in the first place. This means you'd need to install Python (if you're on Windows then you need to add it to PATH which an entirely new issue). Then to edit the program you need an editor (thankfully Jupyter has made this a lot more trivial). If you want to do anything outside the standard library, you need to learn to use pip (hell you need to know what is considered standard and what's outside of that scope in the first place). Coding to me seems to some extent to be more than writing logic, but also experience with programming environments. Low-code solutions seem to be just a lower on-ramp. You still have the logic, but everything is self contained so you don't need the environmental experience. You're therefore limited by whatever is provided in that self-contained environment.

So while I may not have met enough people to really say, a lot more people can "code" than can write programs in the sense that they fundamentally can abstract the necessary logic, but are intimidated by the unfamiliar work flow. Citizen developers can be born from this demographic of people, but the problem is that the tools available are often too limited to stick with and don't allow for production solutions.

But isn't "war on protein" different from "let's change up the meat sector"?

Maybe I'm missing something, but the former sounds far more like a conspiracy theory to me, while the latter can be stated pretty matter-of-fact-ly, like your links prove. "War on protein" sounds so dramatic, like there are people in the background scheming, wanting to deprive us of certain nutrition and subsequently rule over us.

But perhaps I'm reading too much into this. Personally, protein-deprivation is not really that far up on my list of fears. And for the record, I'm not against eating meat (or animal based protein, for that matter) per se. We're just eating far too much of it.

I didn't detect any blame in the GP's comment, nor the claim that "I dislike it and therefore it's inherently bad."

The more accurate reading would be that the GP thinks that it's bad, and that's why they don't like it. But even still, the comment doesn't appear to contain blame, only bewilderment.
I've recently installed freeciv after struggling in vain to get civ II running on linux. I'll admit I haven't really given it a full chance, but I dearly miss civ II. Apparently one can get it working by installing dosbox, win 3.1 on dosbox, then civ II, but I haven't gotten around to attempting that.

Well, it makes a difference what kind of energy supplier turns a profit from your energy consumption. If you're buying renewable energy from a company that still invests into fossil fuels, it's fairly useless. If you buy it from a company that mainly builds up renewable energy production capacity, that helps the transition.

Of course, even a 100% renewable supplier needs to buy from the market to smooth out peaks in energy consumption for their customer base.

(disclaimer: i work for such a renewable energy supplier)

They already have and will continue to. Most programmers don’t even think about their machine’s internal circuitry, much less know how a circuit works. They put their attention on other things.

The ability to assemble 60%, 80%, even 100% of a simple application by snapping together building blocks has lead to a massive democraticratization of programming. Yes, and buggy crap and security holes, but it’s easier to fix some of them by improving the Lego bricks. This is a triumph of abstraction.

The first “no code” system I ever saw was called, IIRC, “eve” at some PC expo back around 1981. There was a bit of buzz in the press and then that was the end of it. Then again, that was the promise of FORTRAN (and then COBOL).

BTW the article itself was meandering and mushy. I gave up on it.

> it also helps if the army won't fire on their own parents and brothers

For a bit of added context, it's a common story that I hear among my friends here in Ukraine with relatives in russia that when they tell their relatives "the russian military are shooting at us, and we have had to hide in the basement", even their relatives respond with "No, you haven't been hiding in your basement. It's all fake."

In fascist russia, the television propaganda cable is thicker than blood.
It's hard to vote with your dollar if the company can lie to you about the price. Sure in this case you'll find out the actual cost eventually but at a point where changing your vote is much harder (maybe a deposit has already been collected, credit check run, the other car you were considering has been sold etc)
And spot market prices last December when all six plants were running at full power were as high as they are now. This has nothing to do with nuclear energy. It's demand pushing Germany to run more expensive power plants, which in turn dictate the price of electricity for all power plants, so pointing at the electricity mix of Germany is a waste of time.

That's funny, but demonstrably untrue. The steering shaft used to be pretty much that and it caused a lot of fatalities. So they stopped building cars like that.
Feels like unnecessary worry. The phone are smart enough and battery replacements are a thing if you do keep the phone 2+ years

Besides, if the argument is heat is the issue then surely a 500mW old school charger overnight is precisely the way to go?
For your second point it probably applied 10/20 years ago too, then it means you have an even smaller budget to make some economy.

So even when doubling electricity price I fail to see how it could be possible to reach the two years originally mentioned.

And I believe each time I have seen this 2 years figure mentioned it was probably USA centric conversation. I'm French and I had never heard of it before.
To be rolled back when the people elect based on short-term economic change.

The US is so corrupt, so in the pockets of industry I honestly have little confidence in this bill being in good faith toward climate action.

In this case, I cannot show a SFSafariViewController side-by-side with the main app on iPad (as it can only be presented modally). On this site there are no ads, and no content to block, it is simply a discussion forum about the app.

I'd be happy to put a Safari button on the WKWebView sidebar version, but as it is a coding app and the forums are full of helpful code snippets, having it appear alongside the code editor seems like a valuable proposition.

The big advantage of using WKWebView is that when a user posts a zip file containing their project you can simply tap on the link to run the project and see the results. You can also easily share your code to the forum by tapping a button in the app's UI to post it to the thread.

These sorts of native<->web integrations are not possible with SFSafariViewController. However I would not want these integrations on any outside domains, and so would push the user back onto SFSafariViewController if, for example, they opened a discussion and tapped a link to an external blog or article.

Edit: perhaps I am not explaining this well. Here is an example of what is happening in my app https://twitter.com/twolivesleft/status/1557378008495058944

It's a fine line. Python world spent 10 years not using Python 3 features.
This is why it is much better for younger engineers to work at smaller companies working on interesting ideas but if you wanna get google pay, then you gotta make those sacrifices.
Even if it doesn't have all that, if you finance most vehicles they will install a poorly hidden cell tracker that usually draws power from the OBD2 port.

It is legally problematic to remove until you switch financing...

In addition, if tracking bothers you, your tire pressure sensors all have trackable (if there are enough sensors around a city) IDs, and if bluetooth is on, and it probably is, that as well...aside from your cell phone...

My next (secondary) vehicle will 100% be a dumb vehicle from the 90s or earlier.
> And why is it the current trend in automotive (specifically, truck) fashion?

It isn't just trucks. Someone posted a picture of a BMW sedan with a really big grille in this very thread. The Toyota Camrys* even has a similar design: https://www.cars.com/articles/how-the-2018-toyota-camrys-tri....

> The observation is that it’s fashionable because aggression is itself fashionable, at least to the target market.

It's just a big grille. I think the "aggression" aspect is more in the eye of the beholder (or the trolling concept).

> I seem to recall an interview with a Ford or Chrysler exec a handful of years ago where they said, point blank, that aggressive front designs are a key selling point to their customer base.

Assuming that's true, are you interpreting the word "aggressive" correctly? It has many senses besides "hostility", e.g.:

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/aggressive:

> 3 : strong or emphatic in effect or intent

> aggressive colors

> aggressive flavors

I signed up for the Disney bundle recently, mostly because it was free with my Amex card. So I'm counted as 3 subscribers (even though I've never bothered to sign into ESPN+), and I provide $0 revenue to Disney.

Trying to implement security at scale and cover all the different aspects of it more or less requires a bunch of different applications all of which are trying to make sense of the same data.

This OCSF framework is trying to set out some standards on how that interop should happen. Put another way they're trying move from having plain text logs in Apache format to something more structured and formal that is (hopefully) easier to work with.

You might be thinking: "Well what could be easier and more open than plain text logs? Some grepping, some regex and we're golden."

The issue comes in that every single app that consumes those logs does so in a slightly different way and there's no standard (yadda yadda XKCD n+1 standards) enforceable format for handling those.
Like I said, their only example of caste discrimination at Google is "denial of caste discrimination" and "coded conversation", which is very much subjective. A Hindu can make the same case that "denial that caste is used as a dog whistle for Hindu discrimination" or "accusing Hindus who are opposed to a caste talk as being bigoted" as forms of Hindu discrimination.
