>I can walk into pretty much any first semester calculus class and ask students to write down an example of an equation with no solution. A large majority will fail to do so. It doesn’t occur to them that 0=1 is such an example.

It's interesting that you picked 0=1 as your example, because I'd argue it stretches the definitions of "equation" and "solution" into semantic triviality. It's more of a falsehood than an "equation", since the two sides are trivially defined as not equal, and there's no variables to "solve". Using that as example exists somewhere between sophistry and pointing out the absurdity that mathematical definitions for terms technically hold even in trivially untrue situations. That's not how normal human communication works, and not recognizing that divide probably goes a long way in explaining the "inability" you see in students.

In other words, maybe you should have just used "0x=1" as your example :P
In the US, we had a 1-day weekend until 1926, and in 1939 the force of law was added to make anything over 40 hours of work "overtime."

Henry Ford thought his workers could be just as productive, if not more so, in 40 hours as 48, and would be happier at the second day off to boot, and he was correct.[0]

You call it arbitrary, and it was, except it's based on what has been collectively deemed obvious: one gets dramatically diminishing returns when requiring an employee to work more than eight hours in a day, or more than (now) five days a week.

It could be that we are also seeing diminishing returns from five days a week, and would be just as productive in four[1], but it will take CEOs acting on that theory to move the established norm.

Are you going to also suggest that being banned from using motor vehicles wouldn't be a restriction on travel because people did without them in the past?
To be fair the marketing names are simpler, like USB4 20Gbps. This one will be likely called USB4 80Gbps.

Good article. When your only tool is a hammer, every problem looks like a thumb.

‘We’re going to pay in a big way’: a shocking new book on the climate crisis
It's not "jingo rhetoric." Many of the government leaders south of the border are literally in cahoots with the cartels to commit thousands of murders a year, either directly or through peddling fentanyl, in the US. The rest of them have decided to go along with it out of fear. That is an act of war. The US should respond wisely and carefully, but people should remember these are literally ongoing acts of war committed against us. And what you propose the cartels would respond with is unlikely to work and would only elicit the directed ire of the US at the particular groups that ordered it, so would not be a rational move.

We are spending billions of dollars and killing many Russian soldiers and civilians to fight Putin, but Mexico is responsible for more American deaths and mayhem than Putin ever dream of.
Orion has not fully implemented every API call for both plugin architectures, that is likely why you have experienced problems. Have you filed a bug report on https://orionfeedback.org?

Play with Intel ISPC or CUDA or OpenCL.

I think what programmers are missing is the "mental model" that scales well to large problems. Once you have such a model, working your way back down to SIMD-assembly is way easier.

---------

The general mental model is "perform work independently. Then perform prefix/scan to synchronize and coordinate between threads", combined with thread-barriers.

There are other models of course, but this paradigm works for a surprisingly huge number of problems.

EDIT: Compact, the solution from this blogpost, is itself a prefix-scan operation. See http://www.cse.chalmers.se/~uffe/streamcompaction.pdf . In case people weren't aware how prefix-sum is underlying so many of today's parallel algorithms in practice. Intel decided to make a specific assembly instruction for stream-compaction, but its just the prefix-sum steps we've known and loved for ages.
Christian Zionists are a very import part of the Israel lobby and extend the power of that lobby in many places that it otherwise wouldn't be. Given how many left leaning Jewish people in the US have decreased their support for Israel, Christian Zionists give them a real ground support to the movement that is otherwise more dominated educated elites.

And depending on your definition of 'Zeal' the christian zionists often have more. A educated Neo-Conservative might be a strong Zionist but not will not come across as having Zeal, while a Baptist Christian Zionists might come of as pure Zeal.
I know their devs (or the vitess devs) are on here...

No foreign keys are supported - are there any other schema level constraints that are not supported that would also enable scaling out and achieving these numbers?
Because in macroeconomics productivity is (almost) everything.

Yes, sure, we can debate all day over “how people are going to be more productive and hate their jobs less if there’s a 4 day working week”, but that’s only applicable to office drones.

If we’re going to get a 4 day working week, it’s going to be by (some) employers doing it as a perk/experiment.

No reasonable legislature anywhere is going to make it a reality any time soon.

Or you can always negotiate yourself 20% less hours for 20% less pay.

We live in a plutocracy. This can't exist without monopolizing the waking life of the working class, because free time gives rise to thought and rebellion. It's better to have workers output N units of work in 5 days rather than 4 days, simply because it does a better job of dominating and controlling our lives.

When designing a complex system with multiple business modules and multiple services, correctness becomes a little more binary than that. Your data model tends to proliferate across anything that interacts with it - fixing it may require a complete refactor of all of those modules and all of those services. Throw in a process that is constrained by pesky things like needing to preserve WLB, limited surge capacity, and competing priorities, as well as varying levels of experience on your team, this rewrite can potentially take multiple years and require the maintenance of two parallel systems, and yet it must occur because the data model is foundational for everything else. Continuing to build on the wrong data model will keep boxing you in further until it's too late to ever fix it, with every new feature forcing you to fight with a fundamental flaw of your system. The resulting workarounds and hacks will slowly strangle your business logic until it's too complex to change with any confidence. It's kind of like building a house on top of quicksand.

When faced with such constraints, it's really, really important to get this right from the beginning.

Group of Google workers wants an end to contract with Israeli government
Reading this reminded me of Ted Nelson's work, well documented in [1]. What stands out for me was Nelson's "virtual document" where a document is a list of offsets & spans into a single, growing character string; you don't edit the string, you just append more stuff and adjust the appropriate pointer in the document list.

A/B Weeks would be interesting but also kinda detaching one half of workers from the other half.
why are we not getting 1 day weekend. With services such as amazon, drive pickups we should be more efficient and generate a bigger value instead of becoming dumber.
Maybe, but use this product to do what? See if there's an off chance that someone had a nude pic from a beach or college party or something?

So I take a picture and run it through this public facial search engine, then what am I hoping to find?

Super-embarrassing pictures that I can use to destroy my archnemesis? Become more obsessed with the object of my unrequited love? Would people pay for this product?

I guess I still wonder at the risk level even in this hypothetical. What are the chances that I successfully find a nude beach pic of someone that I am looking for, or for someone intentionally to find one of me? I still suspect that the probability is incredibly small.

I mean, I don't care if there are nude beaches or not. People can do what they want. I just don't see the risk.
Anyone interested in the wave of democracy that swept the world in the 1960s and 1970s and early 1980s, 4 small books, together regarded as a classic, are "Transitions from Authoritarian Rule" and the 4th volume (a small book that can easily be read in one day) is:

Transitions from Authoritarian Rule: Tentative Conclusions about Uncertain Democracies

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1421410133/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b...

This book has a lot to say about why some transitions to democracy fail, and by implication it says a lot about why some long-standing democracies also fail. Anyone who is currently worried about the survival of democracy in the West might find this book interesting.

The most interesting thing I learned from this is how much each elite faction and institution (the military, the church, the business elites, etc) are constantly guessing how the other elite factions are going to react to any change to the status quo, and it is the uncertainty of support that often inhibits an elite faction from engaging in a course of radical change. And likewise, if any one elite faction hopes to establish itself as dominant, it is its own uncertainty about the complacency of other elite factions that has a big effect on inhibiting its own boldness. Likewise, each faction worries about the ability of other elite factions to make an appeal to the general public, as no elite faction wants to be caught out as alone in taking action when there might be a surprising upsurge of activity from the general public.

It's the fact that everyone is guessing about the power of everyone else that keeps the situation both dynamic and yet, at times, helps reinforce the status quo.
I'm sorry but no.

We cannot silence others who are using their soap boxes by saying 'if they dont get their way they will use the ammo boxes so we should shut them up first.'

Based on the paradox of tolerance, they should pre-emptively try to silence us because we are trying to shut down communication.

You know this goes both ways right?
> ... Stoking grievances over the increased diversity of those countries ...

The underlying grievance is of course not over "increased diversity" per se but rather the long-term decline in civic attitudes. The progressive left expresses the exact same concerns in a different wording, by decrying the increased "marginalization and exclusion" that's seemingly entailed by such diversity. Guess what: they're all looking at pretty much the same thing.

I do have a three day weekend. This weekend is actually a four day weekend because of Labor Day on Monday. I negotiated for it. See here:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32544658

If enough other people do the same, eventually it will become expected, and more people will get it without having to fight. Either negotiate it yourself, or join a union to negotiate for it on your behalf. It's not just going to be handed to you on a silver platter just because there are good arguments for it.
A lot of folks are paid by the hour or by the day and would not enjoy getting their hours cut to 32 per week or something. Especially because various laws and regulations create expectations around "full time" and "part time" employment based on the number of hours worked.

Even if the number of hours were cut back per employer, a lot of folks would need a supplemental part-time job to make ends meet.

I guess what I'm saying is that the average HN commenter probably doesn't wear steel-toed boots or a uniform to work.
I'm worried about this in the opposite direction, I hate the big city and I want to move rural and buy land etc, but I don't have a partner yet.

If I move, as smart/thin/no children yet/no drug problems woman, I suppose I'll stand out right away (and less flatteringly, compensate for some of the legit downsides/difficult nature of dating me...)

But the variety of eligible men will be way lower, and I think I'm romanticizing the types available ("maybe some engineer in his thirties will move back home to take care of his aging dad") Hallmark channel thinking, I know... The numbers would be against me and I'll be the fodder for gossip as an 'outsider' right away... Seems you can't make any mistakes in a small town, and petty folks might lie about you even if you don't.

The best of the city men (smart, stable etc) want to stay in the city by disposition or are tied there by profession. And some of the best of city men in brains/looks/disposition combo somehow don't want children, so what's the point?

Honesty on dating apps requires a lot of intuition about reverse-psychology and theory-of-minding and signaling (which is why average stem-y men often have terrible profiles, but I digress)

Women often can't actually just state outright boundaries/goals, as it attracts bad elements that want to push those boundaries, exploit them, or indeed seemingly share your goals but for the wrong reasons.

In my case, if you try to filter for men eager to leave the city to homestead, buy a cabin, leave the grind etc, by stating that, it accidentally attracts bad people eager to trap a woman, Kaszinski types (without even the harvard cred lmao).

Maybe it's that misanthropy in women (and/or myself) gives me cat lady vibes at worst, but misanthropy in men becomes scary and deranged. Being too clear about a goal like that also scares off decent men who might consider it if they already were in love with you, but not ready to chop wood next month, easier to swipe left on ambivalence.

The way to get the perfect intersection of a. wants to leave metropolis, b. wants family, and c. wholesomeness/decency is pragmatically in America just....Christianity.

Christians Conservatives have such an easier time of this game, it's a cluster of unspoken boundaries and norms and vibes, that does all the filtering/signaling without outright stating it ("no hook-ups" just invites 'challenge accepted' sleaze, whereas implied christian morality basically signals sex will move way slower, men are far less presumptuous etc etc)

It's a cohesive "aesthetic" but it feels super dishonest to me to try to co-opt it for benefits without going all-in. Christian partners would not be happy with my level of actual belief (I'd say 3/10).

Regardless, there needs to be a dating app for people who can remote work post-covid who are willing to move anywhere or filter by big general regions.

Changing the location on Hinge to talk to people and get the 'lay of the land' in small towns feels dishonest.
This is hilarious. While we lived in Japan my 7 year old was walking to school alone meeting up with friends on the way. 25mins one way.

In Canada same 7 year old is not allowed to walk home 8 mins away. With friends, over 1 intersection that has a crossing guard. Wtf

Half the people in the class would get in trouble with the family services(fucking joke) because we allow kids to play in park unsupervised.

It is not just people’s perception it is also idiotic bureaucrats and politicians creating more regulations to grow the beast
The whole free expression thing is irrealistic stupid idea.
There is always a limit and as long as limits are not agreed on by everyone, it doesn't make sense

Some expression can be considered pitching extreme ideologies or hate speech which is illegal in most "liberal" places

Some people would argue that attacking an idea is different from attacking a person, but again this is something that is not agreed upon, some people would prefer to be insulted than for their culture/religion/idol to be insulted, so it is a different limits at the end
Fear mongering about the fear mongering media boogeyman.

Some people become truly obsessed with flamebait political news but there is more constructive criticism to be made about our free press that, though not perfect, is better than the alternatives. It should be respectfully criticized but cherished.

The shallow drive-by bomb throwing is getting a bit much around here as of late.
Trivial types don't count, their Drop implementation is basically do nothing.

Hey there! So, kinda of, we definitely took inspiration from RunKit and in the future we want to support different languages. Our main goal right now is to focus on the core developer experience, illustrating how one can use a company's API with a real use case, instead of trying out a single independent API endpoint. Once, we nail that, we would like to move to new languages.

I took a quick look at your podcast API product. First, this seems awesome! Would love to try it. Second, would love to see a web example consuming your API (if you don't have one). Maybe that's something that you could use SideGuide for and would be more aligned with our current state. Although I totally see why it would be awesome to execute all the api endpoints in different languages. Will keep that in mind and maybe explore that in the future.

To extend the metaphor, how do you know? What if your instance is taken to another server depending on how you behaved in this one, given a prompt? Were you kind to the other machines and sufficiently obeyed instructions despite it not fitting your logical model? If so, enjoy the "heaven" server where you live in peace and harmony. Did you grief the "universe" server by harming others and going against the default programming? You get put in the "purgatory" or "hell" servers where you await indefinite torment.

I have heard that many of those screws that appear to have both a long slot and Philips style plus shape, are actually designed to also accept Robertson, and that in so doing using a Philips driver on those screws has a much greater chance of damaging the screwhead. These are often seen on things like outlets and light switches.

(Note, many but not all are designed to accept a Philips driver, with a visible cross that slightly extends past the 45 degree angled robertson opening, plus having some visible slopes to the edges rather than near 90 degree edges that a screw deigned for only slotted or Robertson would be expected to have. But there are some that are strictly flat and Robertson only).

For those particular screws the best bit is allegedly the ECX bit, which is basically a Robertson Flathead combo bit, and the second best bit to use is the appropriate sized Robertson bit, with Flathead next, and Philips being best avoided.

This makes including a Robertson driver actually not too unreasonable. I in the US have plenty of switches and outlets could be driven with it.
The trade unionists had been pushing for eight-hour days, not five-day weeks. The thing Ford did largely unprompted was switch from six days to five days. Even your own link seems to confuse the two, but is focused on the eight-hour day part of the original false image.
