The author take on French revolution is bullshit. And i don't even understand where it came from? I assume a lot here, because i cannot be in the author head.

The author read about Louvois for whatever reason, let's say an army fetish? (i'm projecting maybe). Then he misunderstood the impact of this army size on coordination and cooperation, especially at the time. Read about Autrichian war of succession and the fact that the biggest european army did not handle itself as it should have. Then he extrapolated a lot without reading any academic discussions and made himself an opinion.

I understand, i do that a lot in my HN comments, but if i wrote in a journal, i would be very careful about being correct about historical parallels. To me it's disqualifying the whole article, and this put "compactmag.com" in the "might be untrustworthy" category.

Who said I was encouraging that? I'm saying you have to use nuance to explain how something is malinformation in the first place. I even did this in my example. We need good faith discussions and I do think you need to step up your game here a bit.

For anyone in the Bay Area, Silicon Valley is some ways south of San Francisco.

That said, a lot of startups are in SF, because Silicon Valley is too expensive (though SF itself is catching up because of the second dot com boom/bubble), so it's not surprising that outsiders lump the two of them together as a hub of Bay Area tech activity (which they are.. but they're just two distinct geographical areas).

This is a comment that I like, acknowledging the obvious unsophisticated but no less reasonable objection from the bystanders, and offering them an alternate viewpoint.

My reservation would be that most applications of arithmetic operators are binary and not ternary. A typical expression in one of my C programs at least has some function call, some subscript, some member access, some addition / subtraction / multiplication / division. But very few have more than one of each. Overall arithmetic is actually quite rare by itself in most code.
Majority of early startups still don't make it past the valley of death even during a bull market.

Can you give me a quick run down on Firebase? I don’t know anything about it so to understand your product a bit more, please clue me in on what Firebase does and how people use Firebase. Thank you. Sounds like Firebase is pretty interesting and popular, I feel kind of like a boomer for not knowing what it is.

Anybody know what Firebase’s competitors are? Help me out here.
What's funny about Facebook's user retention problem is that if somebody built the same product that Facebook had back in 2010 I might want to use it again.

Honest question: how many of your friends are still on Facebook? I remember it being wildly popular when I was in college, but since then, I think that only two of my friends still have accounts.
Agree, although I think more women fall into this habit of speech, due to societal conditioning to appear non-confrontational and direct. It also seems to reflect more negatively on women as a diffident signal. Thus, while it's generally good advice for everyone, it's more important that women pay attention to their use of the word "just".

I’d honestly prefer an inline PDF. At least then I would probably be able to print it. This thing has all the drawbacks of a Flash-only site, except instead of just requiring a browser plugin, it requires Google Chrome to browse (I found multiple things which did not work in Firefox).

The Web was created to have many levels of fallback rendering; “alt” attributes on images, <noscript> tags, font lists in CSS, etc., not to mention the large number of semantic tags not only present in the original HTML, but kept and increased in HTML5. This thing burns all that to the ground and establishes a new lowest acceptable level of web browser (and user able to view it).

I mean, don’t get me wrong: this thing is cool and all, and I, too, have experimented with SVG web pages. But this is not making the web any better.

Agreed, but the part where we discourage similar act is very related to the prison time she will do. Anything else will not discourage other people to scam, because worst case scenario you just loose reputation and money, but best case scenario you are a billionaire.

Given how bad those scams are for society, it's the discouraging is very important, and a strong message should be sent.

Especially in this next generation, an increasing number of people are not planning to work for 40 years. Personally, I’m on a path to retire by 36 (16 years of work). Many of my friends and colleagues are on the same path.
Disinformation actually does mean wrong. But it also is an accusation of maliciousness. That's the distinguishing feature between misinformation and disinformation: intent and prior knowledge. But with the other two I agree. Whataboutism is non-sequitur arguments. Malinformation is cherry-picking data with intent to deceive.
That benchmark in particular has different rules for GC languages vs non-GC languages. Absurd, but true. Non-GC languages are allowed to pre-allocated a memory arena, GC languages are not. For the naive implementation, Julia beats Rust in this benchmark.

This is a fun polemic to read but rather short on evidence. Personally, I doubt tech companies bloat because of a social-minded desire to give "scions of the professional-managerial class" employment, but for the same reason any company does: managers wanted bigger teams because it enhances their status, and when times are good nobody complains.
Yes, coming to a full stop is statistically more dangerous. There are studies on this, the idaho stop is there for a reason, it saves lives.
I think the author of this piece fundamentally misunderstands what business Twitter is in. It’s not a tech company, it is a publisher. The technology is necessary and profitable only in so far as it enables Twitter to grow a valuable audience. And to be more specific, an audience that is valuable to certain advertisers.

Chris Sacco nailed this in the comments he tweeted recently. There are businesses where engineering can “get it right,” like cars and rockets, but Twitter is not one of those businesses.

It’s not clear to me why cutting back to only engineers would be a good strategy at Twitter. Twitter doesn’t make widgets for people to buy, it makes culture. Rejecting cultural topics in favor of lines of code seems like an internally-driven decision, not one that reflects a deep understanding of the customer.

To recenter the conversation - in a personal context idle complaints (ie. venting) are considered rude, and are often accompanied by an apology, for a reason. You're basically monopolizing a person's time, and expressing explicit disinterest in their perspective. Using complaint as a coping mechanism is a fundamentally selfish thing to do[1]. Therefore I don't think we should tolerate it idly. If you want to talk and only be listened to, talk at an inanimate object. If you want to be an equal party in a conversation, speak to a human being.

In a work context, it should (always) be about most efficiently solving the problem at hand. When I have a work issue, I preface my request for support with the steps I have taken to attempt to solve the problem. Anything else wastes the time of everyone involved. When this is done correctly, the first thing to come to the mind of the people I'm asking is often exactly what I'm looking for.

> your manager is casually dropping solutions that didn't work

Casual, useless, unsolicited advice is also a waste of time and energy (see "seagull management"). If my manager did this I would promptly tell them to either dig into the problem properly with me, figure it out themselves, or leave me to it.

But the health of their bodies and their expectation and reliance are considerable and have value in a court of law. The patient has a potential liability from the scheme and therefore very well could have been defrauded though perhaps not criminally so.
It seems like you can’t make up your mind whether you’re trying to prove the government is doing a bad thing or whether the vaccines are unsafe. For the sake of argumentation, let’s say that the 4 cases of thrombosis per million is accurate, and all 4 cases are very severe. In that case, yeah, we should probably see more court settlements in favor of patients, and the government is doing a bad thing.

However, if only ~900 people in the whole country have a severe reaction to vaccines but they save millions of people annually by preventing deadly and debilitating diseases, then you’ve shot yourself in the foot! That statistic is strong evidence that vaccines are very safe and likely produce more good than harm!
But what if lots of ebola was lifted up in a tornado and deposited on Los Angeles?
From what I remember (from the book Bad Blood), most patient uses fell into one of two categories: either they were drawing a large draw, running on their machines and traditional machines to check correctness, and giving what they deemed correct from these (likely the traditional machine answer), or they were just outright running large samples on traditional machines with no attempt to do anything new.

I think there were a few cases of patients getting the wrong results, maybe they were correcting later, but all in all it was not a huge issue for patients given how it was running in practice.

This is not to excuse the practices in any way, but I do get why the focus in the trial was not on defrauding patients.
The whole article is: FB optimizes for user retention so Booo! evil. Use RSS instead. Yeah, these kind of posts are out of touch IMO.

This is very much like the food industry where sugar drinks give you instant gratification but isn't good for your health long term. Same should be true in the digital realm.

The current solution is implementing screen time usage limitation on mobile OSes. Even though that's good but it works at the app level. I'd like a more high tech solution that works at the content level. Something that can limit how much pet videos or comedy I watch across apps.
I remember using Instagram and thinking "why am I just staring at their feed and hitting like? Why don't I just text them 'hey how are you?'" So I quit social media and now I just text them. The difference is obvious now: the former wasn't real interaction, the latter is. Biggest difference: actually being surprised in a conversation where you didn't know something that happened to somebody.

PJ Eby used your sentiment in writing about self improvement, where some instruction might say "write a list of three things you are grateful for" and instead what people do is "complain that their life isn't good, wallow in self pity, consider things they want but don't have, write a list of three things they feel obliged to be grateful for but aren't really, roll their eyes at the idea that such a thing could possibly help, etc. etc." and he said "just write a list of three things you are grateful for, and don't drag that other baggage along".

See also, telling people to "just get out of bed" in The Article which means "move legs, lift bodyweight" not "find purpose in life and reason to go on living, discover religion, and only then excitedly jump out of bed cured and full of joie de vivre". And not "reject getting up because it won't cure you and you don't want to be cured anyway because life is shitty".

Our perceptive unconscious or pre-concious self does not need events to be in order to assemble a meaningful stream of cognition but I'd argue our conscious layer does. The part of us that has the ability to believe or not believe things is by definition a modeling appliance. It takes in information from the outside world through the various interfaces available to it and uses that information to build a causal model. It's often wrong, but it does fundamentally want to see the universe as this happens which has caused that in the past which means that this other event may have a similar outcome. I wonder if this modelling appliance is a major part of the ego and what we consider the 'self'.

And if you're really desperate to write infix notation in Lisp, you can use CMU-INFIX [1]:

#I( (-b + sqrt(b^^2 - 4*a*c))/(2*a) )

That is completely valid Lisp if you need it. In fact, you can change your editor to highlight #I(...) if you want it to stick out a little more since it's "different" than usual prefix notation.

Suffice it to say, a binary expression like

(+ b (* m x))

probably doesn't warrant bringing in a library, but if you're calculating orbital dynamics of the solar system, then perhaps having the above library would be useful.

Just to clarify, I was directly rebutting _your_ statement:

> Unless the road has a minimum speed limit posted, there's no requirement to drive at or near the speed limit. The rules of the road were designed to accommodate drivers moving at different speeds.

Sure, I'm making an assumption here, but I'd say it was a reasonable assumption that "driving", in this case, was referring to operation of a motor vehicle. With that baseline assumption clarified, what I mentioned was 100% correct. You said "Unless the road has a minimum speed limit posted, there's no requirement to drive at or near the speed limit." and I refuted that statement. Driving 20mph under the speed limit is most definitely impeding 'normal' traffic flow.
