Of course it would work. Though I recommend one of those door frame pull-up bars. You'll be amazed how fast you progress when you're just using it to burn time while thinking, Zoom calls, and other dead time.

You can do a huge body recomp with just push-ups + pull-ups. You just have to do them.
This is a good first step.

Anti racism/casteism is a cat and mouse game though. The only thing Im certain of is the rabid caste discriminators will develop some sort of coded language to keep discriminating without being caught.

My point is that we can never call this process done. Unfortunately the situation will evolve and so will our strategies to deal with it.

Ultimately we must uphold our commitment to liberal principles (I mean liberal in the sense of classical, not American liberalism). The rights of individuals must be protected.
I believe this is mostly due to declining sales. My local dealer had good stock levels during the car shortages and the sales people were complaining about lots of Chargers, but no Grand Caravans. They could sell every mini van they produced, if they could get more.

Because security is hard nobody should even try?

The general trick with parsing is to put it in a sandbox that cannot touch files, can only do limited syscalls, etc. This is what e.g. Chrome does.

But yes, it's obvious the Kitty author has no interest in making it more secure ( https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/issues/2084) and it's obviously you take discussions about improving software security as attacks on your person.

I think that is a fair point regarding IT/HR onboarding.

I was thinking more of technical onboarding like project history, context, SOPs, real workflows.
I think it had more to do with price then anything. Adjusted for inflation, it cost $7800 when launched. A motorcycle cost less. The technology of the time would have made it hard to get it much cheaper.

Contrast with today, electric scooters are cheap and ubiquitous. They can be purchased for less than $300 and deliver on the same promise.
> Hamilton's view isn't even wrong

Hamilton’s view (and later the view of Gibbs, Heaviside, et al.) is wrong insofar as in models of the 3-dimensional physical world we have two kinds of "vectors" which behave fundamentally differently under reflection (because one type are actually bivectors called by the wrong name). Physics textbooks usually consider these both “vectors” but call one type “pseudovectors” (or call them “axial” and “polar” vectors), and (ideally) keep careful track of which vector is of each type. If you take the cross product of two regular vectors (yielding a pseudovector), it is fundamentally meaningless to add that to another ordinary vector, even though that seems like an entirely reasonable thing to do, algebraically.

Hamilton got there by trying to generalize “complex numbers” – mathematicians had been eliding the difference between points in the plane, vectors in the plane, and quotients of vectors in the plane (“complex numbers”) for a century or so by his time, and didn’t yet know the territory well enough to understand which points they were confused about.

Even in the plane, separating vectors from complex numbers is very powerful and useful. Nearly any time you see something like z̄w between complex numbers you can profitably consider z and w to be vectors u and v and use the geometric product instead (by comparison, when you see zw that implies a scalar+bivector was the kind of object you wanted already). Being able to use the dot and wedge products of planar vectors u·v and u∧v is clearer than the version mathematicians use, Re(z̄w) = ½(z̄w + zw̄) and Im(z̄w)i = ½(z̄w – zw̄), and makes the other applicable vector identities a lot easier to learn, recognize, and use. Bonus: they keep working in higher dimensional spaces or spaces of other signature.

The “cross product” is sort of interesting as a historical curio or abstract puzzle, but it is an abomination of a tool to teach to students, because it (1) creates widespread conceptual confusion, and leads people to make wrong inferences about the world, and (2) completely fails to generalize to the obvious analogous situations like the Euclidean plane or 4-dimensional spacetime (so people end up needing to learn a new notation for each new context they find). Replacing the cross product with the wedge product (as the anti-commuting part of a geometric product) clears up the confusion and builds up a whole shed full of effective general-purpose tools.

Yes and no... The enormously large footprint of these cars gets them an allowance that lets their engines be less efficient. The US federal government has required that, if you want a powerful car, you also have to have a large car (or, especially, a large SUV, which gets off easy both for its large footprint and for being classified as 'light truck'.)

I like to think that people want to be shelling out $ for S2000s (great car, very inefficient in no small part because its design parameters are a function of Japanese efficiency requirements that centered on engine displacement), but that may be my bias.

I'd like to see us treat autonomous road safety the way we treat aircraft safety, where even minor incidents are thoroughly investigated and often lead to industry-improving changes. Their approach clearly works because despite the fact that we hurl hundreds of thousands of people through the air every day in millimetre thick metal tubes, it's the safest way to travel.

Leaving autonomous driving to the whims of the empathy-deficient utilitarianist VCs of the world, and barely regulating their work at all, is really not ok.

My personal hypothesis is that Asian and cross-Pacific traffic has grown considerably in the decades since Concorde was flying and I look forward to wealthy eastern markets keeping the supersonic market viable. If American and United don't figure it out I could see a gulf country carrier or Singapore Airlines making it work.

I haven't looked into profitability yet but a quick look at the list of busiest routes shows that Asia dominates the list.

"Unlike standard propellers that turn at subsonic speeds, the outer 24–30 inches (61–76 cm) of the blades on the XF-84H's propeller traveled faster than the speed of sound even at idle thrust, producing a continuous visible sonic boom that radiated laterally from the propellers for hundreds of yards. The shock wave was actually powerful enough to knock a man down; an unfortunate crew chief who was inside a nearby C-47 was severely incapacitated during a 30-minute ground run. Coupled with the already considerable noise from the subsonic aspect of the propeller and the T40's dual turbine sections, the aircraft was notorious for inducing severe nausea and headaches among ground crews. In one report, a Republic engineer suffered a seizure after close range exposure to the shock waves emanating from a powered-up XF-84H."
Agreed. In tech especially, certain minority groups (East and South Asians) are over represented so our processes must evolve to deal with the situations that result from them.

The thing about RSS is that big tech companies are not very fond of it because it gives too much control to the user and it's not so easy to flood you with ads when you use it. So, many of those companies either don't offer RSS, or they have it but they don't advertise it much and maybe they just do the bare minimum.

Unfortunately, since social media has replaced blogs as the go-to place for discussions and user-generated content in general, this means that a lot of the platforms that people use most frequently don't have an RSS feed, or have it but it's not very useful for whatever reason.

However: many, many other webpages out there do offer RSS, and I'm guessing that plenty of people use it, at least on technical circles. I use it mostly for comics and, to a lesser extent, for a few personal blogs and even news. A lot of people use it for podcasts. It has also been used to automatically download new episodes of TV shows in torrent downloaders (I'm guessing that you could mark this particular application as controversial; I won't comment on that. But it is useful at the very least). Also, if used properly, it allows for a lot of user control. You could, for example, pipe a youtube RSS into yt-dlp so that videos from a particular creator are automatically downloaded into a folder in your computer, or use any alert of new content to trigger whatever you want to do (like custom alerts when someone comments in a blog of yours, or whatever). RSS has a lot of potential, and because of that I don't think it's going away soon.

Now, you are also worried about the problem of content discovery. There is a problem here, because whenever we as users want a source of curated content, advertisers are going to do whatever they can in order to squeeze their shit into our pipes. So I personally prefer a "dumb" protocol like RSS where I just say "give me new updates from just THIS site", and leave discovery to more organic, less automated (therefore less gameable by advertisers) means. The closest I can think of to solve your problem is the usage of blog rings/networks (they used to exist, ten years ago... I don't know the state of the art right now), but this still means that there is someone doing the aggregation.

It is (or can be) superior when taking the entirety of the environment into account, not just the particular "scaling vs not scaling" support. It shouldn't really be that hard to understand that someone might prefer to stick with a window manager (or other program) because they like its overall UX despite not having a perfect solution for some particular problem, right?
Year-to-year variability isn't enough to make up for cumulative multi-year effects. See this UC Boulder webinar - here's the timepoint where they discuss multi-year droughts:

https://youtu.be/YhF9sOUpe9Y?t=1868

1931-1937
1959-1964
1988-1992
2000-2005
2012-present

Notice the increasing tempo of drought frequency? That's in line with long-term climate model predictions of the drying of the American Southwest, linked to a general trend of rising interior temperatures in midlatitude continental zones (in particular, decreased soil moisture, declining summer snowpack, possibly expanding Hadley cell circulation).

See also the 2000-present graph at the bottom of this page:

It might be true that these reservoirs could be refilled if most outflow was eliminated, but that would mean the end of regional agriculture and severe restrictions on household water use across the entire region.

This was not self-driving to start with and could end up being 100% operator error. Though even if it was self-driving (again, it wasn't) I'm nowhere near ready to call it "negligent murder via technology". It's terrible when self-driving tech causes accidents like this but opponents of self-driving seems all too comfortable ignoring the other crashes that happen daily and on top of that there is no way to know how many accidents have been prevented by self-driving/driver assist systems. At the end of the day I care a lot more about the net-difference in car deaths, not the causes of only ones that involved "technology" (obviously accidents per-capita, by car automation type, should be taken into account here). Should we also get rid of drive-by-wire? Since that's tech that can fail? Where does this end?
Ask HN: Drug continuation after an RCT ends

IIRC there was also a ton of really hyperbolic prognostication when it was still called "Ginger" -- that it would change transportation as we know it, revolutionizing cities, etc etc etc. Then it was released and it was "just a scooter"[0]

[0] https://www.extremetech.com/extreme/71902-ginger-unveiledits...

And once it was "just a scooter", and it wouldn't really work all that well on city streets, on city sidewalks, you actually could fall off it, it would suck in winter, suck in snow, suck in rain, you couldn't carry it, and all the rest, it lost a ton of hype almost instantly. The self balancing trick didn't overcome the sheer obvious impracticality of it.
Dunno why people insist on the "give nothing" part.

The community has given a lot to GitLab. Every project that moved there had a network effect of bringing people over. So many have contributed to GitLab itself, both patches, bug reports, feedback, etc.

And lots of devs have advocated at their place of work for a "let's move to something more open that GitHub" and moved entire organisations onto GitLab (I've seen this at multiple places of work).

Not to mention that GitLab itself is built atop countless hours of work put into the libraries and foundations it uses.

The open source ecosystem is a community where most parties are contributing and consuming what others contribute. It's ridiculous to portray GitLab as a "received nothing" entity.
I grew up in Manchester, NH where the Segway was developed and I was visiting relatives a little after 2000 and it was so creepy to see cops crusing around on Segways in the parking lot of the abandoned Zayres store.

Their claim is:

of basic steps to do this [is bounded by something that is, I think, intended to be polynomial, although there is a hidden exponent of k and a direct exponent of n].

I don’t see any justification or source for the statement that the variant problem is actually NP-complete. Even if their proof was correct, wouldn’t it just disprove a conjecture?
Surely eScooters are more comparable to Segway than eBikes. Why are they taking off when Segway didn't?
Switching languages is highly impractical for most teams. It is possible in some scenarios code written by an experienced Go developer is 10x faster than code written by an experienced Python developer. However, I think it's unlikely that a team writing Python is going to be able to write Go code which is as efficient as an expert Go developer. Even if they could, I think the productivity (in terms of being able to quickly implement features) of writing Python is significantly higher than Go. If only for the massive amounts of existing packages available, not including the language itself. I don't think this loss would be made up by a single additional developer.

I'm certainly not saying that's not possible to have a highly productive team of Go developers. But I think expecting a team of Python developers to become Go experts is not likely to work well. (Dropbox potentially being a notable exception, although I don't know how they navigated this change organizationally.)

> I only mention WPF because you brought up Win32.

I brought up Win32 because it retains backwards compatibility for decades and still gets bug fixes and new features, WPF is as relevant to the discussion as Qt would be.

> The drawing part of the Win32 API is actually probably closer to Xlib and Xaw than it is to GTK.

The Win32 API provides way more functionality than Xlib (Xaw is a separate toolkit and unrelated to Gtk) and is closer to a toolkit like Gtk.

> That Joel article is more of a rant than a coherent statement, it is not reasonable to ask developers to stop working on new APIs and libraries.

What Joel asked (well, he didn't ask, jut put forward) was about wasting developers' time chasing new APIs that do the same things like the old APIs because they are afraid they're going to remain behind and the old APIs will stop getting any form of support or development.

Like what Gtk does to older major versions, basically.

> But this is incorrect, development can continue independently on old versions of GTK.

The entire idea of having an "old version of Gtk" that some 3rd party developer(s) continue on to keep backwards compatibility could only be a possibility because the actual Gtk developers do not care about keeping backwards compatibility.

Any such policy at a California company run by white people is either spearheaded by white progressives, or adopted to appease them, and reflects what they consider acceptable versus unacceptable discrimination.

Ordinarily, discrimination by and between minorities is swept under the rug in such circles. So a policy that views Indians as capable of being oppressors is a significant.
