Yes. Soviets sacrificed dearly to save the world from Nazis and end the Holocaust. That was good.

The US and European powers weren't exactly angels. The Soviets certainly weren't. The Nazis were much worse. Defeating them was good.

I never understood why drug manufacturers bother creating retail packaging for their drugs which the patient never sees. It just ends up in that generic orange bottle anyways. Why not cut out the middleman? Package them in common amounts at the factory, and then slap the doctor's instructions on the bottle.

Again, ADHD is the mask state, it's not SPD. It appears opposite of SPD in order to mask it.

The frustration and distress are both there in SPD too.

Schizoids are indifferent to praise or criticism. Do you see how that's the opposite of sensitivity to rejection? Do you see how the schizoid's listlessness is the opposite of ADHD's impulsiveness? The mask is a compensatory state, like the narcissist's super-confident persona.

Also resource total isn't resource density. we're basically at carrying capacity in tens of different ways.

Whatever we do on jupiter is irrelevant. Using more than about 100kW/person on earth will cook it even if it comes from thermodynamically limited 85% efficient solar panels due to albedo increase.

If you want to show the gains the Russian conscripts have made I’d be happy to look at the evidence.

But it appears to me after mobilisation that Russia has started being pushed back to their own borders at a incredible rate.

Unless you expect the conscripts to do better then the professional soldiers how does Russia have anything more to give?.
Google will never return more than 400 search results. You may think you are getting more because you use the default 10 per page and so that's ~38 pages of results. But if you really look it will never be more than 400.

This pissed me off so much I actually registered and made http://googlesearchonlyreturns400results.lol/

And as I say on the page, the only way to approach this is to send feedback to google. We have to absolutely spam them with it so they know this is not acceptable.

Bing, btw, only ever returns 900 results.

Eh, it seems like whenever some big name cast members leave for other opportunities, the generation of people that enjoyed them do nothing but lament about how bad the show is compared to the time period when they were watching it.

I started watching relatively recently, within the past ten years, and enjoyed it. Older skits I've found enjoyable, but I'm equally likely to find them cringe, like most Will Ferrell skits, large chunks of Norm MacDonald on weekend update and especially anything where Adam Sandler sings. I still am pretty sure I've never laughed at a single joke primarily featuring Maya Rudolph, on the show or otherwise. But there are armies of people on the internet who will claim those were peak SNL.

They're all comedians doing tons of joke. If you can appreciate the art at all you'll find something enjoyable in the mountains of content. There's no reckoning or "things being better back in the day". Your taste might have simply shifted to a different place

Awesome, thanks!! Just found the section of the man page, looks like a pretty feature-filled expansion technique:

A sequence expression takes the form {x..y[..incr]}, where x and y are either integers or
single characters, and incr, an optional increment, is an integer. When integers are sup-
plied, the expression expands to each number between x and y, inclusive. Supplied integers
may be prefixed with 0 to force each term to have the same width. When either x or y
begins with a zero, the shell attempts to force all generated terms to contain the same
number of digits, zero-padding where necessary. When characters are supplied, the expres-
sion expands to each character lexicographically between x and y, inclusive, using the
default C locale. Note that both x and y must be of the same type. When the increment is
supplied, it is used as the difference between each term. The default increment is 1 or -1
as appropriate.

...although I just tested it, and the increment and 0-padding only work in non-interactive mode ='(

I read the above links as showing that there's a mild-to-pronounced pro-conservative bias in almost all "big tech" social media.

Yes, you can find Dennis Prager or Ben Shapiro claiming anti-conservative bias, but what's their methodology? I think the above studies have a methodology, they attempted to be non-partisan. Prager and Shapiro don't even pretend to be objective.
Even giving an opinion would be something. What's something you like better about PowerShell? I can easily say something I dislike about it:

This form `Verb-LongNoun` for function names used in PS is somewhere between alien and maddening. It's difficult to type, difficult to remember, and isn't an obvious improvement over `lowercasename` which is typical of basically every other shell.

I guess the idea is that you don't have to worry about naming collisions with programs in your path? That's never been an issue for me when writing shell scripts though, not even once.
This is something that truly baffles me. I have some theories of course, but they are near conspiratorial.

Some practical scenarios.

I want to hire people who code in Kotlin. I personally know it cuts down LOC by 40% vs Java. But I don't care that they've measured this process or why they do it, as long as they code in Kotlin.

I want to hire someone who uses Room to access DB vs direct SQLite queries. I know it's used for databases and I know it cuts down mistakes by a lot of %.

Someone who uses Jetpack Compose. Or Kotlin Flow. I know the benefits of these. And in many cases there are no measurable benefits - it makes debugging harder, but also means less bugs as an application scales. Compose cuts necessary code to write/maintain by half in some instances, but cuts down on the cognitive load by a hell lot. I don't need to see the whys in a resume.

They have a high learning curve. They're battlefield tested. I need someone who can use an assault rifle. It's cool if they won a war with a spear, but I'd rather hire a newbie with an assault rifle for the position.

> I’m not an Apple dev, but their app store is around 60% of global market share for apps and I don’t fault people for choosing food on the table over platform ideology.

I don't either, but if that's the decision, then where do people come off thinking that they're owed something for participating in a market that they never had a controlling share of in the first place? That's what I don't get. I don't judge people for wanting to put food on the table, but don't act like you're then owed goodwill or whatever for making the rich people richer if that's the way you truly see it. You're supporting capitalism upfront and expecting some sort of vague socialism on the back end.

Now imagine a writer did the same thing.

"I took a warehouse job at Amazon". Then 1 year later they wrote a fascinating tale of the subcultures that develop within an Amazon warehouses, the stories and aspirations of people who arrived at that job, and how this quiet army of faceless people enable a service that even kings 100 years ago would have killed for.

Would that not be equally as bad since at the end of the day they took a job from someone that needed it?

- Twitter delivers an unnatural amount of traffic with minimal conversions. If it isn’t bots it is a lot of accidental clicks. It is almost certainly bots.

- Google Display is always suspect. Really any traditional website display ads are pretty terrible unless you stick to strictly remarketing.

- Google and Microsoft Search IF you do not turn off partner search has a lot of ad fraud. If you turn these off and target properly results are very good.
This is why external standardised testing matters. Low grades could either mean bad teaching, a test too hard, or lazy students.

Standardised tests mean that if just one class does bad, it’s probably bad teaching, if the whole country does bad, it’s a more widespread issue. If any individual does bad, it’s their own issue.
Discovering the best ideas / innovations / people to put money behind is very, very hard. Very few institutions have been able to do it repeatedly across market cycles. Having 2 fund-returning investment in a single vintage VC fund is strong signal of a manager's selection capability. Less than 20 funds have ever done it multiple times. There is also innovation in allocation. Look up Redesign Health or Juxtapose.

And knowing what to do with an acquisition is very difficult. Google re-built Youtube from scratch because every aspect of it couldn't scale. That deserves credit. Elon turned a small team with no technology but a huge vision into a giant once he bought his way in. He convinced the world to put money behind the people behind him. Trivializing that achievement because he is only a genius allocator and not a genius scientist is petty.
The thing that scares me the most is that unlike reading a novel, or pensively writing a letter in the 19th century, we focus much less now on one thing for long periods. Even looking at HN, but look especially at TikTok, YouTube “shorts” — the dopamine pinball game going off in our brains and constant change of focus is robbing us of a skill which I fear will have unforeseen consequences at the scale of our global society.

When I was 9 my Dad took me to see "Those Magnificent Young Men In Their Flying Machines," an entertaining movie for a 9-year-old. (Which I was in 1965 when it came out.)

I knew the theme song by heart, music and lyrics, after only being exposed to it in the movie, and remembered it years later. That's the only time I can think of when I had anything like that kind of ability except for one: I was watching TV, still as a kid, and Harry Belafonte sang Leonard Cohen's song Suzanne. For years after I would sing the chorus to people, asking if they knew who had written it because I wanted to hear more from the writer. Finally when I was at summer camp a counselor told me it was by a guy named Leonard Cohen. As soon as I got home I got an LC album and I've been a huge fan ever since, and have played and sung Suzanne myself on guitar for people many times.

I have no doubt Paul McCartney can just listen to a song once and immediately play it. Did the author even realize that McCartney is a musician?

I hate to be negative, bring on the downvotes, but this is nothing less than being fascination with the ordinary. I also have zero doubt there are dozens and dozens of HN readers that also are musicians and can do the same. Not everyone who begins to study and play music can do it, but they will be able to eventually 1) recognize notes just by hearing them and 2) recognize chord changes just by hearing them. Some people have perfect pitch, and that makes it all the easier, but perfect pitch is not necessary, and it isn't an amazing trick any more than understanding someone speaking French.

David Byrne is freakishly smart. Tom Scholz of Boston has an MME from MIT. Both Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel have genius level IQs. Geniuses simply are not that novel. What sets Paul McCartney apart is not whether he has a good memory or can pick up a tune, but rather that he was a Beatle.
It's a very clever idea for an awesome, interactive app but in practice the results are extremely terrible. The output has almost nothing to do with the input, the outputs are all really just slight variations on what was clearly a very small training set, and the results are hardly even "possible" or "sane" suggestions with extremely obvious AI artifacts like impossible shapes or walls that are also chairs that are also windows that are also some weird thing no one can name.
In the rest of the world pharmaceutical drugs come in end-user retail packaging.
Primarily blister-packs.

It’s mostly only the USA that has bulk packaging that is then counted out into bottles at the time of dispensing.
Once Walgreens proves it works, won't take long for every other pharmacy to follow.
Pharmacists are the last barrier for the patient to make sure the scripts written by the doctor/s don't kill the patient.

Pharmacy techs are the ones that fill the scripts, but the pharmacist is ultimately responsible that it's correct.

Pill filling robots are great if you're filling the same 10 scripts, but not very useful when dealing with complex and compounding scripts.

My father was a pharmacist and we owned an independent pharmacy and I remember how often the scripts written by the doctor was so wrong and had it not been caught it would have killed the patient.

Knowledge of drug interactions are key, but these days new pharmacists just look up online, so a pill filling robot could work.
It’s got parsers for several versions of Python iirc. I’ve used it for a while, but somehow it feels slower than even bash.
Recording the Grateful Dead: The Culture of Tapers
I'm not talking problems with DE toolkit applications. I'm saying that without the additional incentive to round down the sharp edges in Gtk3 with a custom distro patch set to get their DE working right (they won't have to because it's not gtk) they probably won't maintain the aformentioned required distro patches to gtk to fix all the frozen in bugs/feature removals. And so running gtk applications (most linux GUI applications) on these distros is more likely to have these sharp edges.
This is what can lead to singularity.

I agree, and that was out of the motivations for https://www.oilshell.org/

It runs your bash scripts but you can also opt into correct error handling. The simple invariant is that it doesn't lose an exit code, and non-zero is fatal by default.

Oil 0.10.0 - Can Unix Shell Error Handling Be Fixed Once and For All?

https://www.oilshell.org/blog/2022/05/release-0.10.0.html

This took quite awhile, and I became aware of more error handling gotchas than I knew about when starting the project:

https://www.oilshell.org/release/latest/doc/error-handling.h...

e.g. it's impossible in bash to even see the error status of a process sub like diff <(sort left.txt) <(sort OOPS)

If you have bash scripts that you don't want to rewrite, try

1) run them with OSH

2) Add shopt --set oil:upgrade at the top to get the error handling fixes.

Tell me what happens :) https://github.com/oilshell/oil

I spent a long time on that, but the post didn't get read much. I think it's because it takes a lot of bash experience to even understand what the problem is.
That’s chilling and eye opening.
> The hard thing is getting people to recognise the options in front of them: pay for the thing you enjoy, or have it slowly turn to shit as it desperately morphs to optimise for ad money.

With Netflix dipping into ad supported type things I'm not even sure "pay or watch it turn to shit" is the case. I know right now the ads are going to be on a new, even cheaper tier, but I am not convinced it will stay that way. Increasingly I feel like over time it will all just turn to shit eventually anyway.
This is true, retail pharmacies order bulk packages, however in hospitals we order blister packs since unit dose is preferred.
