My friends live in a 80s cement boat, and have done since they built it. Was brilliant but now uninsurable, and they are stuck unable to move it and worrying about every stormy day. That said, for over 20 years it was great, but once water gets in the cracks...
For example, in JS apps, all of my function arguments include a `shouldThrowError` params (default is falsy), so we pass control to the call site instead of blindly throw error. That makes the whole composition more clean.
“Healthy at any size” is a reasonable stance, and one in reaction to a medical system and social norm of being mean and hateful towards overweight people. BMI is not the only measure of health, but doctors will regularly tell heavyset patients with real other diseases to lose weight.

Fat people are literally the only group where it’s just OK to make fun of them, in many circles.

Even for those who are overweight and unhealthy, berating and shaming someone is never going to be a way to help someone heal.

The individual athletes don't directly care about that, but in the UK the funding for the whole sport's Olympic programme is dictated by how many medals are won.

It creates some interesting problems which vary between the different types of sport. Pre-games the programme is going to be set up so that all the athletes cooperate to make each other better and maximise the programme's chance of success, but the athletes are also internally motivated to minimise their opponents' chance of beating them at the games.

In my experience there's plenty of meta-game going on all the time! (Disclaimer - I'm not an Olympic athlete myself, I'm just close to the programme socially in a particular sport).
You got ripped off.

Things are going to get worse in China, not better. In 60 years, they'll have half their current population (One Child Policy). Not only that, but Western companies have seen the writing on the wall. Production is moving out of China to Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, etc.. Semiconductor facilities are being built in America.

We're not going to be able to avoid a war with China, because Pooh Bear has to have a scapegoat and the U.S. will be it, but make no mistake, China is on the way down, not up...
Obese people are simply a market for healthcare system. They have totally no incentive to do anything about it - will mean leaving tons and tons of money on the table.

I wish our culture also stopped normalizing being fat.
I'm european, and it's exactly this. Men from northern Africa go to beaches to stare at tits. I'm not even talking of sexual abuse, just sexually repressed men going to the nude beach surrounds fully dressed to see some skin.

Obviously you cannot say that in public, much less do anything about it. So women chose to go to less crowded beaches.

But I would say, as a nudist, that the biggest problem are the cell cams everywhere. A decade ago, someone could sneak a photo or a short video for his own pleasure, and at SD at best. Today the video is posted 4K on xvideos as it's being recorded. Not funny.
This in my opinion was an anti-regulation tirade masked as a call to action to makers. I’ve worked now for a while with physical product development, and had worked before with web development. The main difference is that physical products have an ability to kill/maim/hurt you if not properly designed. I welcome regulations on electrical, mechanical and anything that will hurt you if improperly used. Most websites or consumer software in general won’t hurt you much.
I would appreciate more discussion on the nuances of design and working with limitations; from the brief, from the target, from the regulatory and compliance landscape. The great innovations come in satisfying all those constrains , and end up with a great product at a great price

Kind of a side question, when did CDN services became rebranded as DDoS protection? I've never used Cloudflare because I wanted DDoS protection, though that's a nice side effect, but I normally use it to cache content and deliver the content to my users faster and without more costly hosting/DB reads.
Show HN: Reddit Slack Bot
Hi, I made a simple Slack bot on top of the work by Vercel to notify you whenever a keyword gets mentioned in a Subreddit of your choice.

You could use this to track mentions of your company's name or your competititors in a given subreddit.

Any export ban is efficient only when it bans something that the other country cannot do.

In the case of GPUs, the hard manufacturing is not done by USA, only the GPU design is done in USA.

China has just demonstrated that they can design GPUs as fast as those designed by NVIDIA (Biren) so this ban will have only the effect of helping their domestic GPU supplier, who will no longer compete with NVIDIA for sales.

The only effective ban would be one really applying to true hard manufacturing, e.g. forbidding the export of any chips made in Taiwan or elsewhere with 5 nm or better CMOS processes. However, that would really look like a war declaration and not like an ineffective harassment, like the GPU export ban.
> It's almost as if you believed that a world without advertizing wouldn't propagate any information.

I'm sure you are able to understand that actively spreading information is far more effective in getting the message out than sitting on your rear-end expecting that people are suddenly magically aware of you and things just drop from the sky onto your lap.
Michael Pollan advocates for this in his book, "In Defense of Food" [1], and to a lesser degree in "The Omnivore's Dilemma". The big take-away for me was (paraphrased) that ethnic cuisines worldwide built and supported civilizations over many generations. It's only been over the past couple generations that we've been able to deviate from traditional cooking, with the globalization and industrialization of our food supply, and that's led to poor eating habits. It's especially pronounced in the US because we have a pretty short and heterogeneous cultural history and identity. He basically advocates choosing an ethnic cuisine and sticking with it.

Restricting accepted addresses to "normal" ones is common sense, not a falsehood.

In the case of a@a.com, that's just someone not wanting to give an email address. You can block it with validation rules, but they'll just use some random but not real address like noemailforyou@gmail.com instead. The validation achieves nothing except annoying the user, really annoying anyone whose legitimate address is blocked as a false positive, and makes your email address database harder to clean up if you ever want to send an email to everyone.

Blockimg emails because they're "not normal" is validation theatre. It doesn't stop anyone nefarious or who wants privacy, it doesn't stop spammers, and it does stop rare cases of people with weird email accounts.

It’s generally useful to have history around when you’re digging through a codebase for bugs or curiosity.
For me the annoying failure mode is when the metal ring on the puller which attaches to the slider eventually wears through and breaks (this seems to happen on bags and luggage a lot for me). The important parts of the zipper are all still working, it's infuriating that there isn't an easier way to replace the puller easily like for like (at least that I'm aware of).
Sorry to hear about your experience. Meanwhile everywhere I talk to Americans about this they casually claim it's all down to obese people.
The Austria/Germany farce in Spain was much different though. Two teams effectively agreed on a result to ensure they both went through at the expense of Algeria. Then not only did the world at large (including German and Austrian fans) turn against the teams, but as you say FIFA recognised it and acted against it.

In this case a single person was ordered by a powerful government to self-sacrifice with the knowledge that if she didn't her career was effectively over - you know China wouldn't think twice about pulling her funding, or choose not to select her again.

They're both very disappointing cases, but one had a very real consequence for the people and the sport involved - the other seemingly continues unabated.
dang. 10 second push/pull is not acceptable.
You wonder wrong.
Git hashes are not for identifying versions but only to identify commit (that may not have a significance on their own, e.g. a developer uses more commits to implement a new feature!). To identify version you should use tags that can be written on the format you like. A tag is just a non mutable (unlike beaches) pointer to a particular commit.

In my company we have the CI server that automatically creates a new tag (sequentially) each time one pushes on the master branch.

I'm sure that it's for the same reason football teams have their top scorer take their team's penalty kicks.
> interview fail: googled answers to questions
> daily job: google answers to questions.

But you have to cram to make it seem otherwise... seriously one of the most interesting things I have ever seen was a HR person say that they had a stack of CVs but self-selected for those who were able to use 'know how to google when stuck' remarks on their applications.

I think we should just be honest and come clean and state that it is impossible to gatekeep like this while at the same time then expect people to be 'efficient and self-starters' and know how to use stack overflow at the same time. We have built these immense, entirely contradictory, ways of virtue signalling in this Industry that this is the outcome you get and can come to expect from optimizing for this vetting process--in-person interviews only partially elongated the farce of it being a good way to parse through applicants.

Because the truth is you know they are doing this for 2-5 other potential employers and have to do the same there and this is the most 'efficient use' of their time to solve a problem: googling it.

Facebook used to reject my email address, because the local part was "email", i.e., "email@my-domain.tld".

I was not amused.
The "you are beautiful no matter how you look" social campaign probably doesn't help here. There are literally visual cues that you 're doing something in excess and your doctor tells you to lose weight but Instagram says it's ok to be obese. I wonder if there's a limit to it, is it still ok to be twice your normal weight overweight?

Wait so is it a celebration of excellence or a just a commercial thing where the goal is simply to drive ticket sales? Because what you described was people putting on a show but ultimately acting out a script, like pro wrestling.
> ... team orders are a part of the sport rather than a form of cheating. As much as the fans like to complain about it, there’s only really a few controversial cases...

Actually, if a team order changes a ranking, and it can be proved, then the team is automatically issued a fine. Just because the team orders happen, does not actually mean that they're _allowed_ to happen. The fines are generally in the order of $100k-$250k.

Team orders have been banned in F1 since 2008 [0]:

I'm sorry to hear about your situation but extremely glad to hear you've found a path towards recovery!

As I said in my previous post, I'm extremely lucky. I recovered on my own about 30 minutes post-onset, although I do have a small remaining permanent clot (presumably from the original one breaking up) that has caused permanent injury to a small area that my neurologist says should cause no noticeable impact.

I'm terrified though that even though we haven't found any deficiencies yet, there might be long-lasting personality changes that are harder to pin down. At least so far all my friends seem to believe that I'm still pretty much the same person I was prior to the stroke, which is an enormous relief. But I'll look into that therapy just in case we do find a reason to pursue something like that, thanks!

If I may ask, the worst part of it for me so far is that I haven't had a good night of sleep since. Since it happened while I was sleeping, it's like I don't trust that my body won't try to off me in my sleep again for no reason. So I wake up halfway through the night in a panic that my body is betraying me again, and it takes awhile for me to convince myself that everything is alright to be able to go back to sleep. Have you dealt with anything that at all?
I also do not trust their data as much.
While you ask that indignantly, I would encourage you to try to steel man (rather than straw man) that very question, particularly without the use of loaded words like "authoritarian."

If you want to be less surprised, replace the word authoritarian with "expert" or "merit based."

You might not agree. You might not agree for very reasonable and well thought out reasons, but it will at least make sense without demonizing a person who thinks differently. Then there might be a chance of understanding, reconciliation, and eventually compromise.

The people who developed the bill probably weren't evil fascists thinking about how to control peoples lives. They were probably thinking "how could we have had better outcomes in regards to this pandemic?"
Notice how the only geopolitical competitors of the US are also "the biggest bringers of pain and suffering"? That is because US does not tolerate competition and tries to prevent others to develop at any cost, including brainwashing its populace with this kind of propaganda.

There has been a series of recent in the past few decades on brain synchronization. Unfortunately, it's hard to tell whether it's due to the similarity of the task itself (so two people see and pay attention to the same stimulus as the game naturally progresses) or due to some similar predictions by separate people (so that they are "on the same page" and anticipating each other's actions).

I wish there was some sort of control to disambiguate between synchrony due to sensory processing or due to action prediction. Perhaps different games that emphasize the sensory aspect or the action prediction aspect?

Uri Hassan has done some really thoughtful work exploiting the brain synchrony from sensory processing to understand the processing itself, such as finding when people pay attention (more synchrony) or figuring out which brain regions process meaning rather than sound (synchrony from Russian vs English version of a sentence).

How is that any different from running npm which is even harder to audit with many dependencies?

OS packages may have maintainers and some eyes before being packaged but for other ecosystems where people can just upload, it seems it's on the same level.
I do have some sympathy with the general idea that we should be able to build a whole lot more than we are. The article takes some odd inspiration though. Marc "build but don't dare build near me" Andreessen. And Uber, which is a bonfire of money and has an infamously wasteful eng culture. Perhaps there's a meta-point being made that this is the best we can show in today's world. I hope not though. Surely there are better examples?
There's a reason we don't just "let the builders build". We used to do that (certainly to a massively greater extent than we do now), and the result was that although a few of them managed to construct monuments we can all be proud of, most of them built a pile of crap and/or damaged the places they built in and the people they nominally built for. This is true of literal buildings, but it's also true of a great many other things that we "build".

The author of this delightfully titled but almost content-free piece seems not to consider Chesterton's Fence at all: before you criticize let alone dismantle regulation, you should be able to demonstrate a sound understanding of why it came to exist in the first place. For bonus points, a rigorous explanation of why the reasoning no longer applies in the current time period is helpful. TFA provided neither.

This article makes a convincing argument that ECS is not necessarily as opposed to OOP as some proponents would have you believe:

https://www.gamedev.net/blogs/entry/2265481-oop-is-dead-long...

> I've been a long-time ranter in many "ECS" threads on the forum, partly because I don't think it deserves to exist as a term (spoiler: it's just a an ad-hoc version of the relational model), but because almost every single blog, presentation, or article that promotes the "ECS" pattern follows the same structure:

> 1. Show some terrible OOP code, which has a terribly flawed design based on an over-use of inheritance (and incidentally, a design that breaks many OOD rules).

> 2. Show that composition is a better solution than inheritance (and don't mention that OOD actually teaches this same lesson).

> 3. Show that the relational model is a great fit for games (but call it "ECS").

> This structure grinds my gears because:

> (A) it's a straw-man argument.. it's apples to oranges (bad code vs good code)... which just feels dishonest, even if it's unintentional and not actually required to show that your new architecture is good,
but more importantly:

> (B) it has the side effect of suppressing knowledge and unintentionally discouraging readers from interacting with half a century of existing research.

Sorry for the lengthy quote, but I reckon this article is a classic.

Argumentation in E-Commerce
So if my email is HeLLo@example.com because I want to be cute people will have to try 6 times before they finally get the right email address? Imagine telling that to someone in person. This kind "weird" casing isn't that rare and doesn't require cute usernames: "DonaldDuck@example.com", "FreeBSD@example.com", "DrMcCoy@example.com", etc.

Languages that don't have case is not an issue; the situations where a lowercase <-> uppercase mapping is not simple are actually not that many. It's not trivial, but not all that complex either. The most annoying part is Turkish, Azeri, and Lithuanian where the rules differ a bit but the used language is often unknown. For the purpose of matching things ("is this email address known in our system?") it's actually not that hard, since you can just treat several characters as identical (displaying text correctly to users is harder, but that's not important here).

I see this attitude in various situations, often under "falsehoods programmers believe" articles, which goes something like "it's hard in a few rare cases, therefore we should not do it at all for the >99% cases where it's simple and unproblematic".

Unfortunely anything related to UWP and WinUI seems to have plenty of folks on the teams used to the Apple and Google ways.

Also there are plenty of .NET Framework libraries on the enterprise space that are yet to work properly on .NET Core infrastructure, or outside Windows, as they are mere wrappers to native Windows APIs.

Since Java 6, Oracle has managed to evolve Java with less breakage (there is some specially on the Java 9 transition) than .NET Framework => .NET Core, or .NET Native => .NET Core.
I broadly agree, although:

ORMs have problems, but some are good enough and widely used enough that you might be able to take them from project to project (e.g. Rails’ ActiveRecord).

SQL is good, but it can get tedious to intermingle fully ‘raw’ SQL with other languages. There are some good non-ORM database libraries whose features go beyond this (I develop one called Zapatos for Postgres/TypeScript).
I hope he doesn't. Asking that question is the equivalent of walking up to someone and begging for money.

I read this article 10 years ago and have since revered these little YKK zippers and paid particular attention to how well they work in practice. They're... okay. At the end of the day, they're still zippers. They do jam less than others, but they have broken occasionally and I've learned not to 100% rely on them either.
