Yes and no.

It's reverse psychology as well to some extent, in my opinion. Or rather, reverse politics perhaps? Is that even a term? Maybe it should be.

One way or the other though, I don't see any issue with being wary of racism. What I see issue with, is bringing it up where there is none, or very little compared to the kind of response being given. And so that's where we seem to agree in the part where you speak of the irony of perpetuating it. (Edit: I should cite an example here. Where I lived before moving back to the city, there was very little racism if any at all. Yet the younger generation and some of my peers would act as if there were KKK members lynching people in the streets. Meanwhile, these same people would spout off about all sorts of atrocious things, depending on their ideological bent.)

As for people going along with things for the most part... Yeah, group think is strong with those who can't think for themselves, especially when they are so weak willed that they will not stand up against those who we would have labelled as bullies as kids.

And then there is stuff like this: https://jamesclear.com/why-facts-dont-change-minds

People like to agree with each other, because they often don't like conflict. But ironically, the only way to deal with those who are essentially bullies, is to fight them. Ignoring them doesn't work, because it just lets them get away with it, and then they grow up into being bullies as adults.

I used to argue this point with my parents, teachers and all other adults as a kid, and now I get to say this: I was right, and the rest were wrong. Ignoring bullies doesn't work, you have to teach them their lesson on the level they understand; whether you like it or not.

But I would much rather just let the world burn now, while I sit back on a small farm and enjoy life while it still lasts. Why?

Because this kind of chaos is what starts world wars, and this one coming up will lead to the 4th being fought with sticks and stones if any of us survive.

Being correct is so awesome... (sarcasm)

I wonder how many phones are thrown out because of software that seems to get more and more resource hungry because they’re developed by people who don’t realize the cost of every library they import.

Think about it, from a normal usage perspective, the iPhone gotten a LOT faster, but apart from camera improvements is the mail app really better? Or Messages? Facebook? No. In fact a lot of apps just have gotten slower.

Not to mention the slowness because of all the timeout my iPhone hits because I use Pi-hole.
That is a dismissal and the fact that you have failed to clarify any point whatsoever and are keeping your statements vague and ambiguous suggests you're either trolling or are genuinely ignorant.

My original comment was to add precision to what was an otherwise fairly open-ended claim; to turn the "often too tall" into a precise figure of 7%. The article is not about that 7%, which is a figure that has likely remained fairly consistent for decades. Instead, the bulk of the article is about the 40% of Americans who are too obese. You have decided to dwell on a detail that 7% is actually significant (ignoring the fact that there's a lot of overlap between the 7% of Americans who are over 6' and those who are obese) and in doing so have turned this into a petty semantic argument.

What exactly do you think it means to claim that an article is hedging and hemming? If you're actually arguing in good faith instead of trolling, you should be able to provide a clear answer to that, but something tells me you won't and will instead continue to repeat the same semantic drivel over and over again.
my favourite is data serialization / byte encoding. like protobuf, messagepack, and custon written ones.

some have really interesting approaches on storing different types of data.

> avoiding using PL/type-system-related terms...tell the user with easy to understand the sentence.

What I meant by “making type errors clear” wasn’t so much the text of the error messages, but rather making the cause of the error more obvious. Here’s a very simplified example of the sort of thing I mean:

function foo() {return '1.2'}
const bar = foo() + 1
const baz = bar.toFixed()

ESInfer complains on line 2, and TypeScript on line 3 (I guess it understands that `+` will coerce the type), but from my perspective the mistake is on line 1, where I forgot parseFloat(). Without annotations, the problem manifests as individual errors somewhere downstream of every call site; if I annotate foo() as returning a number, the type checker will immediately point me at the problem. In fact when I get a type error from tsc that I don’t immediately understand, my first step is usually to start scattering annotations around to help it narrow down where its take on the situation differs from mine.

Basically, neither ESInfer nor TypeScript give me great diagnostics for this code as-is, but TS lets me have a ‘conversation’; it has the tools I need to help it help me find the problem. ESInfer (in my admittedly cursory understanding) seems like it’s missing that ability; I can imagine a heuristics that would help it better explain the situation (e.g. showing the entire data flow that lead to a mismatch, rather than claiming the error is at a single point) but I haven’t thought about it very much so I was wondering if you had any particular ideas around this situation.

(Incidentally, you can find the syntax for HN comments at <https://news.ycombinator.com/formatdoc>. It’s linked from the FAQ, which is itself linked at the bottom of the page, though that’s not very obvious.)

I'd guess that the author is trying to, as gently as possible, suggest to people that there are better ways to go about thinking about those with whom you disagree, _regardless_ of who is right or wrong. Which is really a different point than "you should be less certain about your beliefs."

Ancient/authentic wheat varieties taste amazing !!! I like millet, einkorn, wheat berry, rye berry, kamut, etc. I get them at the farmer's market. Totally worth it

This was a revelation in taste and health in my 40's :) I realized that all the no carb / low carb fads of the past few years could be replaced with eating what people were eating thousands of years ago, before economic optimization turned wheat into nutrient-free, calorie dense commodity.

(Similar things happened with rice and corn -- the heirloom varieties are amazing; the commodity stuff is highly processed and has fewer nutrients)

---

Remember there was that trend of people eating a McDonald's hamburger without the bun? Do people still do that?

They were onto something (processed wheat makes you sick), but the sad thing is that the real solution isn't available because of economics. You could eat it with real bread from heirloom wheat, and it wouldn't cause the health problems.

But you don't have that option. (Although obviously the meat leaves something to be desired too)

Another random anecdote: the first episode of Chef's Table: Pizza on Netflix now tells the story of an Italian guy from NYC who discovered amazing wheat in Arizona and makes acclaimed pizza there :)
I was so incredibly hungry for any and all personal computer content as a kid in the 80s that I'd stay up for Computer Chronicles on Sunday nights just to sit through 20 minutes of dry discussions of financial software to catch a 30 second B-roll of some guy dialing into a bank with their Compaq Portable.

No, but they can and do organize employee-funded PACs, with their company names on them, directed by management at the companies, and those PACs do donate directly to parties, individual candidates, candidate leadership PACs, and party-aligned PACs. So this is a distinction without much of a difference.

You basically have never have looked at a campaign general fund receipts report to believe that companies don't donate to candidates. I don't even care about this issue and think it's totally overblown, but I mean, what you said is deeply misleading and we can't just let it stand as a comment.

"Gholam says that the process of FDA approval for Silibinin is slow, primarily because it only works for amatoxin poisoning, from the Amanita mushroom species. Those poisonings are rare – so gathering enough data to satisfy the safety and efficacy requirements of the FDA takes time."

Ask HN: Spam SMS purporting to be from the DNC?
I have been receiving these SMS messages purporting to be from DNC candidates fairly continuously for the last few weeks. I finally actually looked into the few I hadn't yet done "mark as junk and delete" on, so actually looked into them.

The numbers are all afaict fake, and the links are all largely blank rebrandly hosted sites with one path that redirects to actblue.

Given that structure my default inclination is to believe that this is someone/group trying to make it appear as though the DNC is spamming, but I can't discount the possibility that it is the DNC. Either way I believe these are a violation of the Do Not Call registry, and because the numbers appear fake the "stop2end" at the end is BS.

The link is to my own twitter thread with more details from the ones I hadn't deleted, but I was curious if anyone else on HN is getting them, and for who they are getting them.
>People go along with this kind of BS because they are afraid of being labeled as communist

Do you actually know anyone for whom this is true? Afraid of being labeled communist? If you're not communist that strikes me as a crazy thing to obsess over.

As rude as your comment may come off to some, you are correct about at least one thing.

Push from one side of politics too far, and the other side will swell up to meet that push. Hegel tried to teach us this, and Jung to some extent as well. It's often referred to as the political pendulum by folk like I, and we often think it best to be left alone in the center, with anyone daring touch it being given wide berth and sometimes complete avoidance. Only under the more important issues will touching it be allowable, and even then only lightly with extreme care.

Since there is a lot of commentary on this subject matter, I will just link you the google search term so you can pick and choose your own preferred source on the subject matter. It all ultimately comes to the same conclusion. We need to leave the pendulum alone, and keep overtons window as close to center as possible, with only little swings when needed for the good of society.

I think this gives people the wrong impression that mushroom foraging is dangerous. It isn't. Anyone can quickly learn to identify the safe edible species around them. But the key is, you have to understand that you should know upfront what species around you, in your current season, are edible and eat only exactly those species.

For example, almost anyone can learn to identify chicken of the woods, morels, oysters, and maitake and safely pick them with very minimal training.

Trusting some app without context is an obviously stupid move IMO though and not surprising that people are getting hurt if that's how they are approaching foraging.
There is no one right answer to this question. Find someone locally who is into mushrooming and ask them what is the best guide for your area.

MySQL, ClickHouse, and Kafka are all proven technologies. You can run them yourself or choose any of a number of excellent cloud services to run them for you. It's not that hard to combine them and let each part serve the purpose for which it is designed. I've seen companies from small startups to organizations the size of Facebook take this approach. It's a reasonable architecture with many thousands of successful examples.

My own company is not especially large, but we run MySQL, ClickHouse, and Prometheus to manage our own SaaS platform for ClickHouse. We are happy with the result. (Though it would be nice to use ClickHouse as a Prometheus backend.)
There's a lot of speculation in this piece. Almost too much for it to be informative.
not op, but ...

books with photos, very in-depth descriptions, pictures and descriptions sent to friends who also forage, and when all else fails, spore samples.

I've only had to make it to spore samples 6-7 times because I couldn't identify with the first three methods. I will note that I never ate any of the ones I took spore samples of - because I was then able to correctly identify them as poisonous (or close enough that I wasn't willing to take the chance).

As far as I understand, Gecko and Blink are completely separate, and if we were to put things together with slashes, Chrome/Edge/Opera (Blink) and then Safari (WebKit) share the same lineage (and even Konqueror!). Firefox/Gecko come from a very different direction. To call out investors behind commercial project fails to acknowledge the rich OSS history behind the browser engines. By no means I intend to disregard the tremendous influence Google exerts on web standards with their browser monopoly, but putting it all in the same bin does not help the issue anymore so.
I am not sure doing this yourself is that problematic. You can get a managed postgres - and that is most of the ops work done. The rest is npm i this/that. The effort is approximately the same as the effort go get to know firebase.

I might be speaking as a jack of all trade so it seems easier to me. For a frontend only dev who needs a backend it might be different.

This is a nice idea. I am not seeing the flow of logic here once an asset is sold for monetization. Cruise ships in excellent condition have recently been scrapped because there was no cost-effective use for them.

> The people who previously talked about race use it as a proxy for identifying groups of people that aren't succeeding in society, causing some drag on economic development, and try to figure out how to solve the problem.

And that there is the problem. They used a term that has a whole lot of negative connotation to try to advance their good intentions, which have brought us hell because the worst among us also use that terminology for less good intent.

This is why we shouldn't label under race. Label under issue, which allows for all who suffer the same issue to be helped, instead of just a subset of that group. Sure, there may very well be some people who are being harmed more by some factor or another, but by doing it the way they have, they made it about the race of these people instead of the suffering they (and others) all ultimately face.

Poverty cares not for our definitions. It affects all of any colour, creed or race. But when we make it about their colour, creed, or race, we take away from the actual problem trying to be solved. Poverty.

We regularly generate reports on what is being read and checked out, but those are mainly meant to determine what to remove from the shelves.

I think the value of markup-based templating approaches such as HTMX and SGML comes from enabling content authors to create dynamic document-oriented sites without having to deal with dangerous tools such as JS and the endless ways too shoot yourself and your visitors into the foot (through eg injections and other security issues). The difference between HTMX and SGML being that HTMX integrates templating as markup vocabulary extension while SGML brings syntactical templating at the markup declaration level. A developer, OTOH, might choose JS-heavy approaches to avoid limitations and learn new syntax/concepts, and to re-use existing knowledge from/to other projects. I don't know that speed of development is of primary concern.
