I've been using a Mac now for about a year, and I still don't know if I can move windows around in 'Mission Control' or whatever it is where I see all my open windows.

Like, when I swipe three fingers up and see all the open windows, my current window flys to a random part of the screen and all the other windows appear. I can't move these windows, much less get them to stay in an area to find easily later. Is there something I'm missing? I am learning to like other parts of the interface, but this just baffles me especially when I have 20 browser windows open.

Or is there an app that helps with this? I find there are tons of app and tweaks that, as a new Mac person, I have no clue about. I don't even know what I don't know!

You can do that with postgres histograms https://www.citusdata.com/blog/2016/03/30/five-ways-to-pagin... - go to the section "Keyset with Estimated Bookmarks"

> As we saw, plain keyset pagination offers no facility to jump a certain percentage into the results except through client guesswork. However the PostgreSQL statistics collector maintains per-column histograms of value distribution. We can use these estimates in conjunction with limits and small offsets to get fast random-access pagination through a hybrid approach.
If I remember correctly he's been advocating for socialism a lot in his late years, which I think would be even worse than what we have today and would naturally descend into totalitarianism like it happened so many times in the past.

Then in your own country if the vast majority of the population approve of homosexual marriage, why is it particularly your business to be concerned about it?
Its an interesting article and while I didn't have the time to think the topic through - so I will not share my thoughts on the subject - there are some points in it, which I will definetly think about.

What I must say though, while the article is interesting, it certainly does not feel well written to me. While I am not a native speaker, I consider myself a fairly good english reader at this point. Still I found the language chosen to be very inaccessible. To me it felt like some words and phrases where deliberatly chosen to sound smart. To understand some of the paragraphs, I had to look up so many words that I had to start over reading, because I lost context. I think this topic could benefit from some more simple english.
Really interesting. I've always wished there was a formula to be better at conversations. I've never been good at it! I've tried to find books but the ones I've found come off as manipulative, not as a cure for social awkwardness! Doorknobs are a great mental model!
And what happens...The West cuts off Russia hoping that things get so bad the Russian ppl unite and revolt.

Is the Russian propaganda really that far off the mark? Any futher than the narrative pushed in The West?

Regardless, does The MIC care, or is it too busy counting its money?
Great!
In my college parking structure, I once had the misfortune of having to step over 20 of these damn things.

I called the transport office, and asked if I would be recieving a discount on my parking spot, if the campus would allow these devices to freely profit off of the structure I was paying to use.

Next day they were all gone, though a handful stubbornly continued to show up.
The Bible is a witness to The Truth, who is Jesus.

People outside (or inside) the church who read it without Christ are bound to misunderstand.
Over the last few years I have begun to describe myself as "religious but not spiritual" because it seems that religion actually offers a path forward and some principles to live by along with community, whereas spirituality is just a wishy-washy term that means basically nothing.

Obviously some religious people are very bad, but, the religious people who are good do far more for the world than really anyone else. There was a period of a couple hundred years (1750 - 1950?) in which almost every hospital in the world was founded and run by Christian missionaries.
True but rarely more than the difference in cost of living.

I love Zach but I actually prefer his brother (Greg Weiner). Doesn't quite fit here, in that it's not exactly a matter of "resonating" with me; I often disagree with his positions. But in doing so I find I learn a lot about the issue, the other side, and myself.
Aaron was literally God's hand chosen spokesman for Moses, the #2 Priest after Moses.

Humility is expected, but time and time again, humans fail to live up to the task, even hand selected priests of God like Aaron was.

------

I can't speak for other Religions, but in Catholicism at least, the moral failings of high priests and their mistakes are well known.

-------

King David is perhaps a more saintly figure who grows powerful, then egotistical and fails. Arguably Samson as well.

The ideal exists, but it is accepted that humans fail.
My company has pretty flexible PTO (though most of the work is client driven so our deadlines are pretty firm). My partner and I are expecting a baby in January, and my partner has one day off of work per week (they work 10's at a hospital). I basically just _told_ my boss that I'm dropping to 32 hours to accommodate for my family's needs, and he more or less accepted it. It helps that I'm a staff engineer and I've always gotten my work in on time, and after a couple weeks of adjustment I'm right back up to my normal productivity.

So, I guess what I have to say is:
- have a good reason (and your own mental health/WLB is a good enough reason, but you need to have one for people to take you seriously)
- show you're capable of getting the work done
- accept that not everyone will be accommodating, and figure out how valuable this accommodation is for you.

I'm sorry, theory's great and all, but I'm not interested. Call me when you see this in water not dreamed up in silico, okay? Yeah, I know, supercritical is hard, but... that's kind of the point, yeah? Why trust your model if we know this stuff is hard? Why care if it can never be realized? (Okay, you got me, I'm a constructivist too.)

I've had a few rejections (not "dozens," as someone above mentioned), and, in my case, I have had to often deal with the vague, "canned" responses, but also, a couple of times, I actually had detailed indications, including screenshots.

I am always unfailingly polite and professional, even though I may want to strangle them.

I dunno. I consider this "the cost of doing business." Not thrilled with it, but it's better than friends of mine have had to deal with, when a couple of thugs walk into their new restaurant, and say "Where ya want the video games set up?"

>discarded

If I give Johnny, Jimmy, and Karen an equal investment of $20 and 20 hours of labor each for their education, I haven't "discarded" Karen, even if she needs more money and more time to get the same equality of outcome. In the same vein, I don't at all want to "discard" special ed children, I just want any public funds provided to the other children to be a nearly equal monetary investment.

>That’s why we have laws like the ADA

The period after passing of the ADA was associated with sharp drops in employment inclusion of the disabled [0]. The ADA may have actually been one of the biggest drivers of the discarding of the disabled. Not only that, the ADA encouraged racketeering against business owners for disingenuous accommodation complaints (someone off the street runs up, asked to use your bathroom, you allow the public to use it just this once and bam ADA complaint as they were secretly working for a lawyer checking for the "right" kind of grab bar) where businesses sometimes end up closing accommodations to the public. Personally I am heavily against the ADA as I believe eliminating these "protections" helps protect the disabled's inclusion within society.

Thanks for the kind words! Hadn't expected this at all on HN.

I generally also agree that the real test is the marketplace, i.e. real customers voting with their wallets. But of course you're right: Seeing that someone actually cares is sometimes worth more. Or rather, is what's needed to get to the stage where you actually dare to launch something on the actual marketplace.

My own use case is that I have a list of 100+ ideas. There are a few I have some degree of conviction in. Enough at least to put together an MVP that I can put to the test. But all the others? I'll never find out. For all I know, there could be one idea among them that wants to grow big, and that has a huge marketplace. But I cannot see that. And on my list, it would simply fade away from me. So the idea of having a space where I can just dump such ideas and have a chance of someone reaching out is attractive to me. That's what I'm hoping to do with this site.

It also isn't about giving creators false hope. Upvotes exist on the site because they're easy and non-committal for the consumer. But they count very little. On the other side of the spectrum, a consumer can fill out a questionaire and tell you exactly why they think they need your thing, what problems they are hoping to solve with it, how they are currently dealing with that problem, etc.. While it is encouraging if someone takes the time to write all of this down for you, it's also valuable information if you're making that thing.

I would have also loved to implement a thing where consumers can buy shares in your idea right now (or rather, in you implementing it). Something like, they pay you $10 now, and will be eligible as beta testers once you build it. But there seems to be no off-the-shelf solution for user-to-user payments. So for now, there's just an option to send money to the owner of an idea via an Amazon gift card.

The big challenge, of course, is going to be attracting enough "consumers" to the site - meaning people who go there to shop for potential solutions to problems they might have, or for ideas they want to see become real.
Since when did the acronym CRUD “become [a] derogatory term?”

CRUD implies neither simple nor easy. It just means a web application that mainly front-ends database operations. That describes most web applications even if they have additional functionality.

This is a complicated topic and I think discussion on this topic on a forum like this, there ends up being a divide between folks who impulsively write off Schubiner and Sarno as 'quacks' and folks who have had chronic pain and out of sheer desperation do end up going to Schubiner & Sarno and trying the remedies that are not scientifically vetted, or validated in clinical trials -- and yet finding that they are helped more than conventional medicine. Scott mentions it in his essay: the amazon review page with overwhelming and effusive praise of Sarno's book by people who were helped is hard to ignore.

The theory by Schubiner is basically that some unexplained pains may be rooted in psychophysiologic etiology, and therefore require intervention of, among other things, psychological varieties.

The good news is, finally, large institutions around the world are getting around to conducting randomized controlled trials to evaluate methods proposed by Sarno et al. (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34589642/). They're seeing interesting results, that psychophysiologic symptom relief therapy helps folk manage and relieve their pain to varying degrees.
Words can have two meanings. Cursor pagination and key set pagination do indeed refer to the same thing.

database cursors are a different thing.
The trouble with makefiles is that they're supposed to specify dependency relationships, but they're used as a procedural scripting language because the dependency system isn't very smart.

s/an utopia/a utopia/

Even though "utopia" is spelled starting with a vowel, it is pronounced as /juːˈtoʊpiə/, like "yoo-TOH-pee-ə", with a consonant sound at the start.

Since the word starts with a consonant sound, the proper indefinite article is "a".

No, I'm not debating it. I'm asserting it. It is not a subject of debate. You might as well debate the existence of left handed people.

So no, no debate. Your positions are factually wrong.
Do you know if this is specific to MySQL or does it also apply to other RDBMS like PostgreSQL?
I've been a fitness and gadget junkie for a long time.

I was gifted a WHOOP 6-month subscription in December 2020, and I used it from then until the end of that 6-month term. This was the 3.0 platform.

It was fine for the price - $0 - and provided me with HRV and a "sleep score", which is of interest to me and other athletes as one indicator of "fitness."

I did not - and will not - pay $360/year for WHOOP. I could actually buy a pretty nice state-of-the-art new real fitness tracker for less than that, and the features that were somewhat novel to WHOOP are now standard on other hardware platforms (Garmin, Polar, others). Note that with many Fitbits and clones, you get GPS built-in so you can leave your phone at home and do your thing.

It differed from other fitness trackers mostly by what it didn't have, and DC Rainmaker has exhaustive reviews up to and including the current 4.0 release.

In short, it's not a fitness tracker like a Fitbit Charge 4 or a Garmin Venu 2 Plus - I own both - because it doesn't track steps, has no GPS (you need to lug around your phone for that), and relies entirely on HR for what it tells you - all for a pretty heavy price tag. It also doesn't pair with 3rd party HR hardware (such as the usually more accurate EKG-based ones like a Garmin or TICKR chest strap) and relies on wrist optical sensors.

There are a number of metrics WHOOP reports, but they are simply rehashed versions of metrics developed by Andy Coggan and others some time ago.

TL;DR: WHOOP is overpriced and not feature-rich as a fitness/activity tracker. If you get one for free, try it out. You can easily get the same functionality and more for half the price of a yearly subscription.

I was thinking more along the lines of a public dialog, where a user could post a comment like "This is a great idea! However, if you could make it do X and Y, it would be even better!"

Getting access to people's contact information would be useful at a later point in the process, but early on I think immediate feedback would be the most beneficial. Even something along the lines of a HN thread like this one would be enough engagement at first. In fact, perhaps that is even sufficient :)
hey no offense but right now you're giving off big crank energy. no one is going to take your "abstraction logic" seriously because it's disconnected from the literature and completely unverified.

your characterization of things is strange, there is no Rasiowa’s approach that missed a generalization that a modern presentation of Frege's work shows. it's hard to understand from a glance what you are calling "abstraction logic" is but it's near certain it's already been classified as something in the literature. if not then write up a basic result properly so someone in the field can tell you have something at a glance and publish your result with them, you can be first author so it's not like you're giving up any glory and they will ensure you are peer reviewed through the right channels.

but you most likely have no result to speak off. which is fine. just build something. we need more ITPs in the wild, and currently have more of a UI and OS problem than a lack of proper theory.
For what it's worth, JSON Objects are not guaranteed to be ordered. Maps in many different languages are implemented without an order.

Even if it’s only 11 million, most of those users were not on the internet in 1994. They were on local BBSes, CompuServe, GEnie, The Source, and other online services. Do you remember that time? I do. I’ve started BBSing in the late 80’s and first got on the Internet in 1991. It was mostly academics, defense contractors, and early ISPs… which generally started as BBSes.

I don’t dispute the early internet could’ve supported many more users than BBSes. They simply weren’t there yet.

This is because Google wants to sell ads for impressions advertisers don't want and restricts their ability to filter out users who LOOK like people who might but stuff, but are actually people who bought stuff already. No advertiser wants to advertise a product someone already bought to that customer... And yet that's the default (and nearly impossible to eliminate entirely).

You can use fuzzy numbers to get varied output, and if you want to do MC you can use the API into your model to call it with whatever distributions you want and aggregate the output. But no, our UI doesn’t natively support doing a MC sim because the demand is frankly less than you’d expect. :)
The important thing in this case isn't the absolute degree of income inequality, but rather how it is perceived. When state propaganda talks non-stop about how everybody's equal in this new paradise, yet every day you see things - even little ones - demonstrating that some animals are manifestly more equal than others, that can grate a lot more than a similar relative difference in a society that openly puts inequality on its shield.

And there was no shortage of those little things. Well, I can't speak for Poland, but even in the late USSR (which was comparatively less unequal than Stalin's one, ironically), there was still blat and Beryozkas.

I spent my childhood learning classical violin and it’s a completely parallel education system that’s unaffiliated with public education and goes back centuries (With freelance teachers, dedicated schools, Church run programs, and so on) so I’m not surprised it’s possible to test out.

The same thing doesn’t happen with computer science.. i.e we don’t send young children to CS tutors 2-3 times a week and make them practice on a daily basis. Perhaps society has yet to master creating virtuoso programmers in the way it has spent hundreds of years perfecting the education of young musicians.

Bach was considered in his lifetime to be a rather old-fashioned composer, not one that invented new theories. Still a respected composer, of course, and quite productive.

That was a time when many people wrote about music theory in one way or another: Corelli, Rameau, Telemann, Quantz, Handel, etc. My understanding is that they mostly tried to explain the existing tradition of baroque music, more than invent new theory. After Bach died, musical tastes changed, and music developed into a different direction.
