(2014): “According to Johansson, even though the city has endured three extremely cold winters since the buildings went up, the apartments have not been cold, noting that "there's actually a bigger risk that they get too hot in the summer". The city does, however, provide each apartment with a battery that can be used to generate a small amount of heat, primarily when residents are away.”
I'm not sure how much about purges was known in the West at the time (USSR was pretty well cut-off from the rest of the world), but by 1940, the West already knew about the Katyń Massacre. I think it was clear for leadership there that they're allying with one monster to defeat another one, and they could very well do the same thing in reverse order if circumstances called for that. It was just that, at the time, it was Hitler who was bombing London and not Stalin, so he had to go first.
It can only add is one, not more.

I once read that singing might have evolved before language proper to enhance group cohesion. If so maybe there's a deep instinctive pull towards it. There might be something to this idea, I'm an atheist but when I saw that titanic scene where they are all singing together in the chapel I felt ... something. Maybe I should find a secular way to sing in a group like the a cappella in the article.

You mean FDA considers easing up its prohibits on over-the-counter hearing aids, right?
Depends. Vigorous debate and experimenting does not come from humility. It comes from conviction. Humility is an end game, you can only reach for it when you accept that you are wrong (at the end of the argument) and likewise, when you win and don’t parade it and acknowledge the merits of the other side.

But during the process, no, there can be no humility. You have to fight.

I’ve noticed in myself and anecdotally in others that a lot of stubbornness in conversation simply comes from the desire for validation. Having someone acknowledge what I’m saying is generally enough to get a conversation moving forward, where ignoring or not responding to my input can cause me to fixate until I recognize what I’m doing and break myself out of it.

But if I feel mild validation, even if it is concluded with a “no”, I’m far more likely to consider myself having reacted “humbly” and more openly during the introspection I am forced to have at 3:45am the following morning.

Maybe this was all a tangential comment, but that’s the thought that was sparked by this post.
From that study:

> This might be the main reason why the consumption of insects is largely practiced in rural areas where high levels of unemployment and people with no formal education are found. In addition, people who are unemployed consume edible insects more because they have to do so to meet nutritional requirement needs.

Well, that actually explains why I have not seen or even heard of people eating insects in the 40-odd years that I've lived here: I'm not usually talking to unemployed people in rural areas who face famine without insects.

Unemployed rural people are still in the minority, and that still makes it 'not-normal'. The poor people and unemployed people I see in non-rural South Africa still don't eat insects.

I think that’s underselling it, no? The world’s most populous country has a breakaway state from a civil war a hundred years ago, both sides claim to be the rightful government of the whole country. The worlds dominant superpower both supports one side and has an ideological disagreement with the other (while being completely dependent on it for both industry and finance). Both sides of the conflict recognise that there is one China but neither can agree on who should be in charge and there is not even a remote hope a resolution, the most likely outcome is the status quo continuing on forever but diplomatic blunders from the USA have both stirred the pot locally and potentially caused a knock-on effect in the Ukraine conflict (with China recently announcing joint military ops with Russian forces)

And even then I'm simplifying it and omitting some other complicating factors. China/Taiwan issue is many things but straight-forward isn't one of them

> The fact that it happens to execute without bugs and produces the correct output is far less important than the code being readable, comprehensible, and consistent as part of the larger system.

I partially disagree with this. If the code executes without bugs (very rare) and produces the correct output, then that code solves the problem. The next task is to make it readable, comprehensible, and easy to maintain whilst not trying to introduce other bugs.

Yeah I do wonder about this. Atm, US is putting on immense pressure on chip manufacturers and their countries to control the supply and add factories in US soil.

Once the factories are built, would US be as invested in defending Taiwan and further, South Korea? I know US won’t give them up easily, but when push comes to shove … I don’t know.

I'm not claiming that my life choices would scale to be a viable option for the majority of the population but it doesn't have to scale to be an option for some people who are already interested in that kind of lifestyle. It's not a society-scale solution to the housing crisis but it's definitely an option for people in the position I'm in personally.

Also it's not necessarily correct to say you require land-based infrastructure; you can be somewhat independent from the shore for long periods on a sailing boat since people do ocean crossings all the time, you obviously don't need fuel for propulsion, you can generate electricity with various renewables like solar, wind, and the boat's motion through the water under sail, and your water supply comes from the sea via a reverse osmosis machine. Provided nothing breaks beyond your ability to repair it you're effectively limited only by what food you can carry.

I just got my revelation on this when I got to writing scripts to manage servers.

Since I am developer I was always starting from position where I need "reusable and flexible" script. This approach got me stranded in doing stuff like updating TLS certificates by clicking in IIS settings - because I did not want even to start if I did not have "perfect script".

At some point I went "OK I am just going to do script for this single server" - well script is reusable because it is simple and for another server I just change variables inside of the script. It saves me a lot of time already.

Lots of business line software does not need flexibility but developers tend to have need to build a framework because somehow they feel like they are not real developers.
I do, and use the same tooling for Postgres containers as when running Postgres outwith containers - WAL-E.
The more I learn of him, the less able Fuller seems. I kind of suspected before, but this letter and the Dymaxion car article last week seem to confirm that he was not an engineer or inventor, scarcely an architect and was more a promoter than anything. (I suppose promoters can always call themselves visionaries.)
In college, I designed a stack-based CPU. Started as register-based, but I realized using registers for storage and the stack for operations made it so much easier to program.

Author of the article here:

To clarify what I mean (which I also wrote here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32507580)

All I ever get from beginners are questions about the "best tool" by which they usually mean "a set of rules and procedures so that I don't have to think about the problem". It's rarely actually finding the "best way" to solve the problem but the "best way" to not have to understand the problem at hand.

Beginners want the shortcuts to solving the problem whilst at the exact same time not even knowing nor understanding what their problem is in the first place.

For more clarification, I highly recommend reading the previous article to this one posted (Pragmatism in Programming Proverbs) to get a better understanding of what I am expressing, since "The Essence of Programming" is a sequel to that article.
Yeah, completely agree. European countries are almost helpless without USA's weapons to defend them... they just thought they were too civilized to go to war again anytime soon, I guess, letting the USA bear the burden of actually investing in the military while they just did the bare minimum. But the situation between Russia and Germany is more complicated than that... Germany did not see Russia as the enemy as far as I see it even after the fall of the Berlin Wall. The large dependencies on Russian gas/oil/coal/etc that Germany incurred make sense when you consider that... they had a weird kind of debt to Russia for helping remove the Nazis from power and were working under the assumption that the only way to keep a big neighbour from trying to destroy you is to keep friendly relations with them, which I find is the right approach even when sometimes that doesn't work too well. The alternative of always seeing the big neighbour as a threat and with utmost suspicion (I guess that's Poland the and the Baltic states approach, as well as most of Ukraine after the Orange Revolution) is bound to lead to a self-fulfilling prophecy as that's obviously going to lead to hostilities with enough time (just try that with your suburban neighbours).
> Market success would establish efficacy.

In the meantime, patients will be switching from drugs with known efficacy to wonder drugs with potentially no clinical evidence of having a medicinal effect.

> Could there be ineffective drugs? Sure. But as doctors and patients learn, such drugs would disappear over time.

Trying to do that piece meal won't work. You need controlled statistical studies to establish such things.

> doctors must still evaluate the drug to find out how efficacious it is for each particular patient.

Generally informed by subsequent clinical trials. They don't just go with their gut.

> Btw Ivermectin is FDA approved. I am not sure why you bring that up?

You know very well why. In fact it kind of makes my point. Patients are attempting to switch from a treatment regime with known efficacy (vaccines) to one with highly questionable efficacy (Ivermectin). If you follow through with your plans to deregulate the pharmaceuticals industry, you'll see a lot more of that.
> Insects and crustaceans (shrimps, lobsters, etc.) are closely related ...

One important difference: salt-water animals (including crustaceans) harbor parasites which are less compatible with humans, for them humans are dead-end, they can't close the complex reproduction cycle. Land insects and fresh-water crustaceans (e.g. crayfish) are much more dangerous for humans. Lobster sashimi is much safer than eating a raw crayfish from a river or lake. The latter can cause a serious lungs disease.

I disagree, I've been using laptop, or tenkeyless, or currently a 65-key optical mechanical keyboard, for forever. I almost never use the numpad, or pgup/home etc keys (vim user), and rarely function keys, so they just get in the way.

Keyboards are quite a personal thing, I think there's room for many different designs.
So the secret conspiracy is clean energy, self-driving taxis, protected environment, and more leisure time due to increased automation?

And when intentionally publishing the plan for this secret conspiracy, on their website, cunningly disguised as a fictional take on the near future, they accidentally left in bits where they worried about digital surveillance which luckly the anti-semites on 4Chan noticed, and saved us from this dark future?

Very pretty otherwise, but no numpad = no interest here.
It makes a lot of sense, though - interior decorations change (with very few exceptions, e.g. the French communist party HQ, which came pre-equipped with Niemeyer-designed furniture). Light impressions don't and have a lot of practical and emotional effect on how space is used.

I think with ideas the idea being 'out there in pieces' is what makes it happen. Look at the livestream concept, I pioneered it in 1995, I'm aware of one more guy who had the idea around the same time and I am pretty sure that if you dig deep enough and long enough that you'll find more. Video in a browser was going to happen, with or without me, I was just the first by at best a few months. After all a browser required networking and cameras connected to computers were just coming out around that time (mine came courtesy of SGI, which shipped with a weird little camera that helped pioneer the concept).

The Dymaxion has a bad rep but for reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with the car or its design, and bringing that into the discussion is a bit weird: the safety of the Dymaxion has no bearing on whether or not Buckminster Fuller came up with the Tensegrity concept. What it does do though is to establish him as someone capable of independent thought.

And as the edit above mentions, if we're going to assign credit properly for the Tensegrity concept it should go to Karlis Johansons instead of either Fuller or Snelson, and Fuller should be credited for naming it so.
You realize it take tens, if not hundreds, of millions of dollars to get from this stage to an actual product and the chances of failure are 90%+?

And you're mad because when the government funded 0.01% of the total cost of development you can't get it for free?
Just to be contrary, it's possible that you're reading too much into other people's responses if you're actually beating yourself up in the middle of the night about what someone meant or didn't.

Check out existential therapy. I'm not saying this to pathologize or minimize what you're saying, just that it's something I used to suffer from before I realized via (said therapy) that everyone else is just a narcissistic fuck living in their own narrative and they literally don't even remember what you said six hours later. It's very liberating once you absorb that. (obviously, what you write on the internet is forever, but that's kind of why you should be so much less anxious about your conversations IRL).
