Well, you're probably more willing than most to have this conversation, so I'm interesting in having it.

I did find the writing style abnormal, but ignoring it, the information in it was at least as useful to me as any other HN comment: mostly not at all, just another little drip of an internet opinion to consider on this topic I probably spend too much time thinking about (optimizing note taking and learning strategies).

So, I acknowledge yes, strange comment style. For your comment: you say some derive pleasure from policing social norms, I don't challenge you as finding it pleasurable, and I like your metaphor as being a pigeon on a statue. Though I could use other terms to describe your comment: "trying to knock someone down a peg," "put someone in their place," "tone policing," and I think I could make an honest argument that it's simply a form of mild bullying. The only difference to me really is if OP deserves it. If they're a jerk boss / shyster salesperson, sure, why not, but do we knock every confident person we see "down a peg" just in case they're a jerk and deserve it? I feel like erring on the side of being nice is a better outcome. Of course I can't just decide for you what you do and don't like, this is me being a pigeon on a pigeon.

One could argue the both of us are in a virtue-signal race to the bottom but I'm just typing this all out of curiosity for your thoughts.
That's funny, I always thought of DDD as a statically typed functional programming hhing.

Going further, for best reliability it requires having none at all.

It's as if politicians and media executives all read Orwell's 1984 and took it not as social criticism, but rather as a guide to how to communicate effectively with others while maintaining oneself in power.

Take the author's note on the skyrocketing global energy prices, particular in Europe and Britain. How is this to be explained? Another author, William Gibson, noted in "Spook Country" something called the three-beer rule. If it can't be explained over three beers in a bar, it's too complicated, the average person will lose interest.

To actually understand global energy markets, you'd have to read a lot of books, not just articles. You'd have to understand the current mix of energy production and imports in Europe, who the fossil fuel producing countries were and how they shipped fuel to Europe, what 'balance of payments' and 'current accounts' vs 'capital accounts' are, why Europe's political leaders were blase about relying on energy imports for decades even though that made them highly vulnerable to supply disruptions, why they didn't invest heavily in renewables decades ago, what kind of economic intanglements they had with the USA, the Saudis and Gulf Arabs, and Russia, that tended to prevent such developments - and that's all just background, not even counting the effects of the Ukraine war.

It's too complicated for a long-form article, too complicated for three beers in a bar, you'd have to read a bunch of books, while avoiding the PR garbage put out by those with an active interest in you NOT understanding the details and rationale (yes, many books are published solely for that purpose).
Simplicity. Simplicity prevails majority of the time. Simplicity and alignment with vs fight against.

You discount "the old" perhaps with the misguided assumption that we know better because we live now and not then. As if civilizations have not risen and fallen countless times, and as if humanity has not been forced to re-learn the forgotten lessons again and again.

Simplicity is the hardest to accomplish, because it requires thorough understanding, patience, and perspective -- something 90% of us don't have.

I will leave you with a modern example: a four-way traffic-light-controlled intersection vs a roundabout. The former leverages modern technology (maybe even ML with data from a larger traffic network!), and yet it is less safe and most of the time generates more traffic backup than the latter. The latter has no external dependencies, and instead shapes the space in such a way as to make dangerous collisions impossible.

If anything is a religion, it's the blind belief that "newer is better"
With children, it's worse. Three million children in the US are "food insecure" and 30 million (!!!) qualify for free school lunches [1], often their only source for a warm and healthy meal, and in some places where school meals aren't free parents have to go into debt with the threat of losing custody looming over them [2].

From my German POV this is an absolute insanity.

Adding to this: ~30% off Keychron keyboards (https://www.keychron.com/pages/bfcm-2022) for those who've been burned by Razer peripheral drivers before. I love my keychron, if you use a Mac I think it's the nicest mech keyboard out there since they offer versions with a proper mac CMD ctrl-opt-cmd layout.

People terminated were offered 4 weeks’ severance if they signed a separation agreement. This severance feels insulting, given that people who did not opt into being part of “Twitter 2.0” just one week ago received three months' severance.

Some folks on HN predicted this days ago! Incredible and more disappointing at the same time.
Could be; I don't even understand British economic policies, despite my nationality, Chinese economic policies are completely outside my domain of knowledge.

From your blog:

JavaScript comes to mind as an obvious choice. In my experience, something like this would be priceless when teaching!
This article was not too long for me. It was too self aggrandizing, too void of any real topics and just repeating the same argument over and over with no evidence to speak of to back up their points. Wait isn’t that exactly what they complained about at the start? Hmmmm.
At the company I am working 80% of the code needs to be unit tested or you won't be able to commit. This results in tons of useless unit tests and you learn to restructure classes in a way that makes writing the unit tests later easy instead of what would make the most sense, for example exposings fields that should be private.
> every possible permutation of their concurrent code

Did they test against weak memory models? Because weak memory models do not necessarily have any equivalent interleaving behavior (stores can appear in different orders on different cores).
Agree completely, but it is lose not loose.
I think they were suggesting that causality could run the other way.
I also had that idea. I came at it from the side of thinking about using computer vision for (semi) automated CAD file production, and gaskets was one of the best usecases I could come up with.

One the fulfilment side, gaskets can be laser cut, and there are services which offer this on demand. Batching up multiple orders into a sheet would make it more cost efficient, along with always printing Nx the required amount and then stock the rest.
They put mini jumper cable connectors on the pocket-sized ones now.

If you actually read the decision, there's nothing mind boggling about it. It is consistent with the US Constitution, and with Supreme Court precedents. The result of that decision has been terrible, but we can only reliably fix it through the defined constitutional amendment process.
I don't disagree with you, but someone died. So, yes, maybe we should display a bit of empathy and acknowledge the significant impact this loss can have on someone's life, even if it wasn't a good decision, instead of just saying that they deserve it.
Wait what? They got Zelensky to come to NYC? And Netanyahu agreed to speak at the New York Times event too?

Either you support this statement with data or you're talking out of your behind.
> The name? Noosphere means planetary consciousness, a hypothetical new evolutionary phenomena arising from the biosphere. It’s a lighthearted joke, but also an aspiration.

Originally, the term "noosphere" appeared in the work of the Russian-Ukrainian Soviet scientist Vladimir Vernadsky, The Biosphere, first published in 1926. The word "biosphere" was invented by Austrian geologist Eduard Suess, whom Vernadsky met in 1911.

> In Vernadsky's theory of the Earth's development, the noosphere is the third stage in the earth's development, after the geosphere (inanimate matter) and the biosphere (biological life). Just as the emergence of life fundamentally transformed the geosphere, the emergence of human cognition will fundamentally transform the biosphere. In this theory, the principles of both life and cognition are essential features of the Earth's evolution.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Vernadsky

Another thinker who developed the concept of the "noosphere" is a French Jesuit priest and scientist, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. In his book The Phenomenon of Man, written in the 1930s, he:

> set forth a sweeping account of the unfolding of the cosmos and the evolution of matter to humanity.

> The unfolding of the material cosmos is described from primordial particles to the development of life, human beings and the noosphere, and finally to his vision of the Omega Point in the future, which is "pulling" all creation towards it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Teilhard_de_Chardin

This "Omega point" is a precursor to the concept of the technological "Singularity" - but with a more explicit religious/spiritual connotation.

Asking people not to buy is a huge cop out, and does the usual maneuver of painting companies as victims of consumers. Companies are externalizing their packing and shipping costs at the expense of huge environmental loses for everyone and at huge profits for them.

Governments and regulators should regulate this out of existence. Unfortuntely they are for the moment spinelessly lobbyable.

Asking consumers to curb comsumption is a fool's errand, ask consumers to demand their representatives defend the environmental interests of everything on this planet.

You don't need VC money, but if you want to set up a dev team at all you do need some substantial capital.

S. Arabia was already labeled a pariah nation by the senile old man. Just before they refused to increase production. So, no leverage there.
I don't want to sound negative, really. It's a great tragedy.

But when you are a wealth advisor, one of your jobs is to inform your clients about the inherent risk of all forms of investments you deal with. As for cryptocurrencies, your duty is to tell your clients all their money can evaporate in a second and they won't be able to do anything about it. If they don't like that, they can use other forms of investments. In my country it's even regulated: the client needs to sign a statement they were informed about it and they accept this risk. So no reason to commit a suicide because it's not your problem in the slightest.
FTX's collapse has left its mark, but this will only be temporary.

Bitcoin is already demonstrating its usefulness by helping countries evade economic sanctions. There are a truckload of nations who're fed up with the West's financial dominance and are actively seeking alternatives.
In these United States, there are now two emergency numbers which can be dialed: 911 and 988, for mental health crises.

The last time I removed the SIM from my Android phone, I tested 988; unsurprisingly I was not able to contact the service because the phone denied access.

If your phone doesn't recognize 988 as a bona fide, legitimate emergency number, it's time to request a firmware update. 988 has been years in the making, and firmware developers should have made it a priority to put it on the whitelist.
As a combined hardware/software person, the testing for both types of systems is very different.

In hardware, you often have rigid boundaries with well-defined behavior, and almost no state in each unit. A big part of hardware verification is just testing that you did the basics of the interface right and that you won't deadlock anything. The rest of it is testing the behavior of your nearly-stateless thing.

Software testing tends to involve exponentially larger state machines, and fuzzier abstraction boundaries. The basics are mostly done for you, and you tend to do complicated logic that holds and manipulates a lot of state.

"Fuzzing" in software is very similar to constrained random testing in the hardware world, but it still doesn't catch a lot of basic issues due to the size of the state machines involved.

The testing philosophy you need to apply is not the same at all.
I find Prop 47 is insane, and I find lack of law enforcement insane, but to each its own.

>but what is the use case for "normal" users?

>three things average users demonstrably don't care about

I always ask this question myself (and have an interest in all things no-code). But this is about the underlying Internet layers.

For decades, from the ARPANET to the IETF, a small clique were unchallenged and unhurried in presenting their solutions methodically in RFC after RFC. They did a great job.

Now The upper OSI model is breaking up. Everybody has a vision and a voice. Every day brings new projects like this one here in HN.

There is not even large consensus around that leading Web3 banner [0]. So, IMO this natural selection process will take us at least a decade (or two?) to coagulate into standards that support mainstream "normal users" use cases

I guess the way I would put it is, when someone is providing "extreme" value to you, you know that's not a sustainable relationship and you have to start making other plans.

If the terms aren't economic for both parties, they can't last. Long term I shouldn't be relying on getting value which other other people would be willing to pay more for.

Funny that, I’m typing this on a phone plugged into a cable I bought in 2016 and with which have travelled hundreds of thousands of miles and is in perfect condition. My dog is right next to me too.

Some qualification of your blanket statement is (as usual for you) required.

This has nothing to do with the problem of different numbers.
We only need to look at the tools department of our nearest box store to predict what will happen. They sell you the kit with two drills and two batteries nice and cheap, and then when you go to buy any other battery powered tools after that you think to yourself "I already have the batteries from company X". I'm with ElmerFud here. I think we need some government oversight and standardization. we need something like what they did with "universal serial bus"... one cord that works anywhere.. right? (scratching head)
>> The Fed decision wasn't important to energy costs anyway, though.

Of course it was. Rate hiking makes the dollar more expensive for anyone buying dollars(to pay for the oil). Were they dealing with gold they would not have this issue. Not to mention if the buyer is a gold producer.

Ask HN: State of Real Time Biosensors?
I was reading about nutrition, and discovered this device that can measure vitamins C and D:

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0956566321006278?via%3Dihub

What is happening right now in the biosensor space that might allow a more complete nutritional profile to be measured? Could nutritional profiles one day be as easy as testing glucose levels, or be cost-reduced enough to offer as a fringe benefit for blood donors?
I don't know what 4g is like in the US, in Asia it's about ~100mbit (I just ran a speed test and got 134mbit down, 24mbit up)

That's far more than enough to stream 4k HRD content on my laptop tethering to the phone.

5g range is limited compared to 4g. 5g is more spotty and needs more direct line of sight. A 5g base station consumes 3x more power than a 4g base station. So 5g is more of a gimick than anything else. The reality is, is there isn't any material benefit over 4g.
As crazy as it may sound we could also just keep the oil in the ground.

Maybe they are doing this to push people into regions with lower energy costs. Of course Northern Virginia or Canada is going to give you much higher ping times.
I really don't get T. Gondii. I read all these article about how it might be affecting us, a source of mental health disorders, so on and so on. And it is very common in household cats + a lot of people already have it. CDC says, "While the parasite is found throughout the world, more than 40 million people in the United States may be infected with the Toxoplasma parasite." I assume present tense means currently infected?

Genuinely curious, why aren't we doing an annual anti-parasitic or something given the drugs are relatively benign?
So, you can buy a bag of fifty and have it sitting around for four years because you'll never use fifty of those things?

Sounds like an excellent argument for just printing one when you need it.
Exactly. There’s no law forcing me me to chip into healthcare. Tacit admission in the US I don’t have to care any other meat bag exists; why should I care what they have to say?
If local pawn shops can do it I think Amazon can do it.

You seem to have a weird position that Amazon is some innocent player in this exchange -- they are making money from every one of these illicit sales. They enjoy benefit from looking the other way -- its not that there are no processes that can halt or greatly reduce the problem.

Theft is prosecuted ffs, the issue is that it has become so lucrative (because of the easy way to convert the stolen items to money via amazon/ebay) that the system is being flooded by people stealing. In no reality can you catch 100% of shoplifters, but there is a reality where you make both sides of the act more costly with less reward (high chance of getting cought and prosecuted + hard to gain value from the goods).
is this the 140w one that you have?
Not at equilibrium, sausages are cooler then the (steamy) air.
I both agree and disagree. There are PARTS of the kernel that probably should be unit tested. As I specified in my answer, these tend to be algorithmic. I would also agree that an interface that cannot change ("don't break user space!") makes a good candidate possibly.

However, I think there are parts that probably should NOT be unit tested, because unit testing isn't free and slows down change by getting very close to internals. As an example, device drivers that are tied tightly to hardware. While it would sound nice to have an nvidia GPU fake/mock, in reality it is probably not possible to create one, keep it up to date, etc. The complexity would be enormous and might not show anything as you wouldn't know if it was a bug in the fake or driver.

As such, I retain my answer of: it depends what you are trying to accomplish. Different testing strategies for different types of code and domains.
I guess it depends on what will be happening. Are they trying to give him enough rope to hang himself with? Or are they actually going to try to exonnerate him in some way?

(The usual "rope to hang yourself with" genre in journalism is the interview, where the journalist has significantly more control, compared to a public talk.)

The biggest question to me is why he isn't in prison or at least why there seems to be some possibility that he won't end up in handcuffs the moment he lands in the US.
Domain Driven Design is a poison. The book is one of the most poorly written technical books out there. There are a handful of good ideas buried in the 1,000 page unedited verbose rambling slog. The whole book should only have been 10 pages.

Besides Eric Evan’s inability to write, the poison of DDD comes from locking in businesses/domain concepts into your core technology, making them inflexible and making it difficult for the business to iterate on new ideas. This is a very good article on why you don’t need it (and the author’s example is healthcare, which has complex business domains). https://dev.to/cheetah100/domain-driven-disaster-147i

Something snapped in Evans’s mind around his over focus of Java and UML that made him try to force every idea into a class hierarchy, and force that model onto software development as a whole in the form of DDD.

As the numerous other commentators have identified, people are bringing up politicl institutions because your key point proposing differentiation is defined by political institutions, such as the American revolution, but fails to account for continuity and evolution of cultural institutions that persist beyond those changes. Like continuity of the tossed salad blend of Americans.

But, my original comment to you is that noting continuity and shared evolution of cultural institutions between America and Europe during the industrial revolution is not American Exceptionalism, and isn't really something to have umbrage regarding when others note it.
Basically the model reconciles some inconsistencies with previous models by considering things like how continental drift would make tidal interactions different, etc.
