"Interesting" does not imply any in the set of "correct; insightful; clever; informed; perfected ..."

A submission is a document. A post is part of a discussion. Hence Plato diminished the role of books, favoring those contributions which are "still alive". They are two pretty different realms. A document can be highlighted because pointing to something interesting; a post is more normally a direct contribution (highlighted for such value).
Yes, I agree there are differences. But as someone who has gotten into a variety of physical conflicts myself (including amateur combat sports) I'm sure you will agree that there are similar differences between real life altercations as well.

Our parents' generation were not getting into competition level fights down at the local pub. The vast majority of physical conflicts in bars are just shoving, posturing, and heightened adrenal response.
I'm curious what you think the relation is to the topic here? I don't disagree, but there's a lot of potential options for how social media could relate to people's sexual activity, so I'm curious which one you feel is damaging here.
Here's the definition:

I think the point is that there are more structures out there like this than we think. Social Security for example. Just do a web search and you'll see it's a rather mainstream question. Also there are so many unfunded public pensions that could meet the definition.

Perhaps the difference is transparency. We know these public programs are currently in bad shape, but private schemes are completely opaque until they collapse.
I so want to do this, but I have such a sweet tooth I don’t think I can succeed. I can go a few days without sweets but then the urge is just overwhelming. I want to try weaning, by just eating fruit instead of processed treats. Will that have any effect at all, make it harder overall, or is the only way to just cut sugar completely?
We have an old, safe, cheap drug for humans already: Metformin.

Most people can get an off-label metformin prescription for anti-aging or appetite suppression.

Your interest in food will be reduced to the point you have trouble keeping weight on.

Sugar will be repulsive to you. Sweet food tastes "sickly sweet", nauseating.

Metformin also interferes with the absorption of carbohydrates in your gut.
I never saw such in Finland growing up. Thick roll-up shade, sure, but the edges would leak light. I'd say most Finns at least learn to sleep with light in the room.
I think I agree with the author that for average joe, there is nothing to be gained by worrying about it.

The phenomenon is worrisome, but qualified people are already working on it, and will likely succeed in halting or reversing the decline.

If they can’t… well, we’re probably fucked regardless of what joe does, so again, no point in worrying.
Yes, the function is defined to either return enough memory for the requested number of objects, or null. Returning less than enough memory is clearly out of spec. This was later stated explicitly, but at no time was it ever permitted.
Exactly this:

> ever increasing abundance of hormone-disrupting chemicals in the environment, some of which we are aware of like PFAS, many of which we have like yet to discover thee adverse effects of.

It is likely that many common drugs we take are affecting fertility (eg Advil) and many other chemicals in the environment and they may affect us long after the exposure is done (eg forever chemicals or pre birth exposure.). And it may also just decrease sex drive which in a way also decreases fertility in a more indirect route.

I think we are way more affected that we realize right now and we’ll look back and wonder how did we ever survive this era of rampant hormone disruption.
Funnily enough the SO answer has a off by one error. &array[array_size] is the last valid pointer (i.e. the pointer is valid, but can't be dereferenced).
Looks like the main code is just a single python script (https://github.com/mfkiwl/krakensdr_pr/blob/main/_signal_pro...), and it's not doing anything special in particular (simply a lot of FFTs).
Emby also had a dead simple Apple TV app and none of plex’s streaming content nonsense or burying your content in a l menu.
puritan elites pushing sexual revolution in order to stop people from having sex...

truly devious
Firstly - there is no social contract - you (and I) signed nothing. No contract. Just training.

Secondly - the governance structure you have now, does not care about your freedoms. I think I can make a strong case that what we have is domination of everyone by the worst of us. We are being herded into some sort of techno-dystopia, and no one in the governance structure is doing anything apart from waving things through.

Thirdly - morality is real. At family gatherings you do not need the strong arm of the law. The strong arm of the law causes the events that put people in fear, so that it has a valid pretext to step in and assumes control - with people's blessing (as they are ignorant of the true circumstances).

What you have is a large scale protection racket. And you are arguing for it. You have a lack of imagination regards alternative (free) ways to live, and are likely highly indoctrinated into the system you are trying to defend, possibly receiving some of the breadcrumbs.
Congratulations!

Unfortunately I do not think this is typical. I've bootstrapped to a team of 6, built an incredibly sophisticated product with tonnes of customer interest including some of the best known startups in the world, and not even got an interview. Updated them with traction and didn't get a response.

Team includes a PhD in machine learning, and someone who was CMO of a 180m company by age of 23.

Product is not something you would expect to possibly build without millions in investment.

Pretty sure they didn't look at us.

NOT complaining. Simply providing some balance to help temper people's expectations to avoid a reporting bias.
Apple hiring people to build “connected experiences in a 3D mixed-reality world”
From Mark Gurman latest Newsletter:

"The most interesting job listing is one that specifically calls out the development of a 3D mixed-reality world, suggesting that Apple is working on a virtual environment that is similar to the metaverse—though don’t expect Apple to embrace that term. Its marketing chief said at a recent event that metaverse is “a word I’ll never use.”
That listing describes working with other developers to “build tools and frameworks to enable connected experiences in a 3D mixed-reality world.”
“You will work closely with Apple’s UI framework, human interface designers and system capabilities teams—pushing you to think outside-the-box, and solve incredibly challenging and interesting problems in the 3D application space,” it reads."

Edit: I realized after I posted that you didn't say you program, but rather that you work for FAANG. So sorry if some of this comment is slightly mis-guided.

> I had some free time this weekend, when I realized I could do anything, but there was nothing I wanted to do.

I bet you were on the internet. At least, my experience lately is that the internet is very boring. I previously would have never expected to say that.

Dive into a project that isn't a project IMO. It's a hobby. For instance, FPV drones. They overlap well with your skillset (programming), but require some new learning (soldering, electronics). You can program autonomous flights later if that's interesting to you.

Programming is magic right now, and I would be looking for intersections where you can apply it in a way that's fun. I posted in another thread just now about projects I've built, and I mentioned a few programming projects. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33583779

Other than finding a non-boring hobby, I would just get out in the world. Meet some people. Do things you're afraid of. Cosplay as a different personality sometimes. Just pretend you're really outgoing and walk into a new bar. Experiment with life in non-permanent ways and see what suits you.

I know it can be hard to see the world through other peoples' lenses, but you don't have much time. Don't waste it on boring shit that you find meaningless.

> malloc just returns a pointer, which could be in the middle of an array if malloc were an ordinary user-defined function.

Yes, but even in that case, it would have to be an array of `size_t` objects for the pointer cast `(size_t *)` in the musl code not to trigger undefined behavior (especially if malloc would get inlined), right?

Which means calloc() would trigger undefined behavior as soon as one of its callers used it for allocating a non-size_t array (especially if calloc() would get inlined with link-time optimization)?

I'm pretty sure doctors can't do procedures without being on some kind of a "approved list" of procedures (since anything outside - eg. experimental procedures - take a LOT of paperwork and liability paperwork).

Men don't need permission to not-pay for unwanted kids either. Somehow we don't mind women wanting to get rid of unwanted responsibility, and we loathe men who do that, with both financial fines and even jail times.
I know basically only people that: A, are popping them out like rabbits, or B, cannot seem to have children at all.
According to the study they don't have sex "alone" either. Unless they're watching porn for the plot and forget to have sex, that can't be it.

I spent an evening at a star party chatting with someone that spent a bit of time at the big radio facility on the east coast that is famous for having total radio silence in the area surrounding it. (too early in the morning to remember the name.) One of the stories was specific to listening to meteors from well past the horizon from where they were, and then talking to someone that was able to confirm them visually. This same individual was also previously in the military spending time playing with radars. The stories from that time were even more entertaining. Steering the beam to mess with the sheriff's car, and a few other stories that seemed so crazy I'm still not sure he wasn't just seeing what he could get us to believe.
No mobile app right now. (Too much todo already ).

The full article is linked [1] and I can view it. See Fig. 1 and quoting the actual article:

"Specifically, 28.8% of adolescent men ages 14–17 were categorized in Class 2 (no sexual behaviors) in 2009 compared to 44.2% in 2018. Among adolescent women, 49.5% were categorized in Class 2 in 2009 compared to 74.0% in 2018."

For adults the percentage was much lower -- 3.8% rising to 3.9%.

Social media identity cues: not just what is said but who says it that matters
Maybe a daft question but despite all this, would you recommend it? I used to be into weightlifting/CrossFit and was quite naturally strong but always a bit short of where I wanted to be, probably through lack of stability in my life meaning my routines were constantly disrupted. I was also not aware of just quite how rampant steroids were and how my desired physique (nothing massively over the top but probably something akin to a CrossFit athlete like Mat Fraser/Rich Froning or Marvel superhero physique) was actually out of reach without steroids unless you were willing to be very strict on diet and also put in at least 10 hours in the gym, probably for at least 2 to 3 years.

I’m now in early thirties, and things are slightly more stable but I’m also in the worst shape of my life. I was planning on getting back into reasonable shape over the next 3 to 6 months and then doing a SARM cycle or two to see if I could get to where I wanted to be. My plan was to then stop and attempt to maintain the gains I’d accumulated. From what I’ve read SARMs seem a safer way to go. I’d be doing it sensibly, aiming to take the smallest dose that worked and getting monthly blood tests if I can afford it to minimise the health risks.

As I’m now approaching midlife and my life hasn’t really turned out the way I’d planned (no wife, no kids, no skyrocketing career) I feel like I don’t really have all that much to lose. Wouldn’t mind getting the opinion of someone whose done this kind of thing though to see if they think it’s worth it even if you end up on TRT. I kind of feel like everyone ends up on TRT naturally anyway (or should be taking it if they’re over 45) so there’s not a hell of a lot of difference.
> Young" extending to 49 aside ...

It doesn't. You are misreading the article, which is a bit ambiguously written. The results they are reporting for “young men” and “young women” are, as the first quoted sentence innyour excerpt suggests, gender breakouts of the adolescent (14-17) cohort in the study, not of the full population mentioned in the last sentence (14-49), as clicking through and reading the actual study will confirm.
This can be said about global warming back in the 1990s. Experts are working on it and it isn’t really an issue for the average joe so don’t worry about it.

You are not wrong that it isn’t a near term concern but I witnessed the lack of progress on global warming in the 1980s and 1990s and do not completely trust experts to make progress by themselves without a larger awareness at the societal level that there is an issue. In many ways the problem isn’t experts but at some point you need politicians involved and they only really react when the voters care. And thus you need the average joe to care so that polticians care and act.

I think that this is the global warming-like issue of the next 3 decades.

The author of this piece basically concluding that there was no issue. She didn’t conclude that it wasn’t a concern for the average joe but that there wasn’t an issue. That is wrong.

I totally agree. It’s just far easier to consume porn than it is to actually have sex. And for men, it’s much more transactional anyway, which is what we want.
Awesome, thanks. Do you have a take on unikernels in general?

My main side project at the moment involves trying to use QEMU+WHPX on Windows to sandbox selfhosted services. Long term I think it would be awesome to support unikernels, but I get the feeling a lot of the momentum for them has died down the last couple years.
In almost all of these health discussion, assertions generally involve an implicit "on average". So, no, it's not like a mathematical proof, which requires a single counter-example to dismantle.

E.g., men are taller than women, is a typical statement that is understood "on average".
> Illegal abortion threatens society.

That's not what Popper says. Popper literally says, quote:

> I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be most unwise. But we should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force; for it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; they may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive, and teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols.

Again, not any ideology you don't like may be suppressed, but only those who use sticks and pogroms instead of arguments. What you are proposing is pure fascism and something Popper was vigorously against of.
My guess would be the decay of the "traditional values" life path for a number of reasons. There's just much less of an assumption that you'll be married in your 20s and have kids before 30 than there was 50 years ago. There was so much more social pressure around the assumption that everyone's life would go that way, so even if it wasn't what you wanted for whatever reason, it was what you did because you wanted to conform to your family/friends/community's expectations.

Obviously that worked for some people, but there were also probably plenty of people having sex, or reporting they were having sex, just because it was expected of them.
Isn't an interesting story here that SBF tried to cuddle up to regulators in the US, while CZ sat back heckling from the heart of Asia, and CZ won. It'll be interesting the ripple effects of crypto regulation given that story. I'm not sure which way the wind will blow at this point.

Ask HN: Book Scanner Recommendations
I've bunch of books that I cannot find in PDF/EPUB format (books from the 80s and the 90s that are not in English). So I wish to scan them and later use an OCR to convert them.

So I'm looking for recommendations about book scanners (Google search gave me some ideas about brands and actual features, but I couldn't find recommendations from people with actual experience)

Thanks.

"Syntax is the easiest part of being a software engineer."

This is probably the best quip I've heard all week.

I'm developing a language with "no syntax", every token is executed immediately, making it trivial to create arbitrary syntax at any point in the file (literally you could define a function that implements SQL syntax and then call it - you are now using SQL syntax).

I don't necessarily recommend it for every language but it's really interesting how little it actually affects the hard problems of software engineering.

This is most certainly the primary factor. Muscles don't get built for no reason. I myself don't really exercise regularly, but I'll go in and out of periods doing physical projects like carpentry, landscaping, etc). When I start a project I'm definitely lacking strength. As I continue doing physical labor I get stronger, which leads to qualitative changes in my ability to do specific tasks.

"first principles tell me" is a pretty poor way of knowing what happened in actual history. In this case, it's just you wild guessing about the desires of people thousands of years ago whose lives were nothing like yours.

I mean, we don't need any kind of science or history if we could just be like "this story makes sense to me, so it must be true." I guess it's appropriate for our post-fact world.
