I don't know and I'm not participating in this conversation further because of your stealth edit for the NYT piece. Also you're making what I perceive to be a bad-faith argument which was reinforced by your altering your original post in a significant way without saying as much.
Definitions do sometimes end up being justified by their consequences though, eg 0^0 is just defined to be 1 because it results in nicer equations. For that matter, you can sometimes do mathematics with only rough definitions and then make it well-defined later- umbral calculus "worked" before anyone actually set it on a solid mathematical grounding:

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

(you can see in that Wikipedia article the umbral calculus was originally invented and used because it seemed to work, long before anyone found a set of definitions to justify it to modern standards)

The axiom of choice is accepted because it's useful and required for certain results to hold that mathematicians aren't willing to give up, etc. If ZFC were to be somehow found to be inconsistent it would probably be patched up by altering the axioms rather than wholesale tossing out all the theorems.

I guess what I mean is that mathematics uses deduction in proofs but that's really not the end (or the beginning) of the story.

An other thing which might be of interest: what if you use convering indexes for the two single indexes? Is postgres able to do an index-only scan then, thanks to the coverage?

Or does it decide to use only one index and filter based on the covered values?

It is fairly common in Germany. There’s a special size of candles that fits those holders (Christbaumkerzen) and they’re a thing you’ll find everywhere in shops around Christmas time. I’ve never had a tree with LED in my entire life.

You must observe some safety rules, have a bucket of water or an extinguisher at hand (not under the tree) and never leave the candles unattended. And yes, be careful where you place the candles. Can’t have a branch that’s hanging over them.
Got a link for those new rules? Or for studies about how higher hoods are safer for pedestrians?
I did not expect anyone to be offended because I have never been a fan of the Java world. I have no real reasons, never had a need to use the language, I always saw it overly verbose and associated with boring corporate culture and didn't enjoy my time configuring Tomcat and other Java projects 15 years ago.

I am well aware it is a very productive ecosystem, though I feel I am entitled to like or dislike any technologies I wish to, however irrational it might be. It was a figure of speech mostly intended as tongue-in-cheeck, not a statement of fact that I need to defend.

If you think that nobody would be fired for refusing to work in unsafe conditions and nobody would be fired for not drinking, you're still agreeing that the situations are similar. You're just agreeing that neither would get you fired, rather than that both would get you fired. Sio why is the employee to blame for one but not for the other when they are both dangerous and they both would or wouldn't get you fired?

Having to drink is basically an unsafe working condition. It's just an unofficial unsafe working condition instead of an official one.
Because, while the same problem exists, it doesn't exist to the same extent. The average size of the vehicles is smaller, even bigger European SUVs are far smaller than what americans call trucks. And there are less of the really big and deadly ones, almost none with a neck-breaking-bar, etc.

I have been wondering: is North Korea an example of sanctions not working or having the opposite effect? By sanctioning North Korea to the moon and back, they have no other choice but to bottle up, tighten the hatches, take an authoritarian stance, deal with people willing to do deals under the table, and search for ways to strike back. Since they don't have the capability of building a traditional military force, they go for the biggest thing they can: nuclear missiles. Meanwhile, their people starve and suffer.

Are there not alternative policies that would work a little better? North Korea just seems like a cornered badger and will continue to act like one. If you "opened" up the country by reducing some sanctions, it seems they'd have to adapt to be more civilized. These are more questions than statements.
We can regulate crypto banks, which is what these failed institutions were, without the premise of crypto being lost.

There's a difference between regulating the institutions that hold crypto customer deposits, compared to regulating the crypto networks themselves.
> and on the odd occasion I have to work the extra day, I wouldn't feel so bad given the 100% pay model described here.

Something tells me you don't feel that way if you have to work the occasional Saturday today, so I doubt this would be the case after this change after a very short amount of time.
Before productivity, this is also about simple social quality of life.

I know we often think in the smaller system of capitalism, but the point of any economic system is to bring overall better quality of life to citizens.

A lot of people are now observing that additional work doesn't bring additional quality of life, and so the next push for improved quality of life now might come at reconsidering the 5 day work week and maybe making it 4.

Now about productivity, there's a few arguments:

1. Reducing wasted time. Lots of work is inefficient, lots of meetings going in circles, distractions, etc. If you have only 4 days, you hope that it will push companies to reduce the waste.

2. Rest/leisure and productivity have correlations. Maybe an extra day of rest can boost people's work days and actually make them more productive.

3. Most type of work where people are considering 4 day work week is creative work. Productivity often comes simply from better ideas and better decisions. An extra work day doesn't really affect the quality of your decisions and the potential of your ideas.

4. Most type of work where people are considering 4 day work week have uneven value output. Something you did in the first quarter on its own can provide enough value to justify your entire year's salary.

Indeed, that's what I was expecting too. The 80386 is largely microcode-driven so I thought someone had managed to condense the datapath and sequencer enough to make it implementable with discrete components.
Speaking of git’s plumbing, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33566991 is the best guide I’ve found. It made everything simple. I didn’t realize git is just a list of blobs and trees, and that’s it. And when other people said that, I didn’t understand the meaning.

Blobs = any file, keyed by sha1. Also commits (pointer to a tree). Also trees (list of blobs).

Refs (aka branch): points to a specific commit.

I bet notes are just a blob that points to a commit.

Yes I have a former friend who is pretty far down the alcoholism spiral with seemingly “narcissistic” tendencies.

He’s extraordinarily aggressive and abusive when he’s drunk, and lashes out at everyone. The thing is, now he claims he can’t even remember that happening when he’s sober. I don’t know if this is the truth or he’s lying lol

Either way it’s tragic and sad. Probably the most self destructive cycle I’ve ever personally witnessed.
I still am not reading the NYT piece but the original Denver7 piece which lists these infractions:
- Driving with a broken taillight
- Not wearing a seatbelt
- Driving with minor damage to a bumper
- Driving with a registration that has been expired for less than two months
- Relocating a license plate to another visible part of the vehicle
- Obstruction of view (such as an air freshener placed on the rearview mirror)

The OP added the other article after posting and realizing the weakness of the argument with just the first source, so I'm not addressing it.
1939 Germany had about 80 million inhabitants. By far not all Germans were Nazis, but then not all Nazis were Germans, so let's just use that as a first approximation. At the same time, India had about 320 million inhabitants, or four times as many.

Maybe calling Nazis a small group is a bit far, but they were definitely a minority of swastika users even at the time.

Of course they weren't charity, they were mutually beneficial. The entire point being that offering mutually beneficial deals would lead to reciprocation with more mutually beneficial deals, building a dependency on maintaining such mutual deals.

In the same way that the US and EU going to war or even just breaking off diplomatic ties is extremely unlikely to happen due to how much they have integrated with each other on the back of mutual benefit.

Vellum is expensive in comparison to Scrivener, but the output is very nice and you soon see the increased value of using it.

Scrivener and Vellum do different jobs. At a simplistic level the former is for creating the content and the latter for producing the final outputs (Scrivener can do both but really only excels at the first).

Isn't that a lot of European civilization going west and east? We don't taint all of Europe although they were responsible for some pretty bad things.

From a non-European point of view Hitler was bad but so were other European colonizers as well.

Thus you are the one speaking from a place a minimal compassion. Think on that.

Let me put more emphasis on what I thought was implied but didn't get through. I think these things need to be part of a job description.

If the expectation is MADE clear to the employee before he is hired, then it's fair game. He volunteered for this stuff. I am not advocating forcing this stuff onto people who didn't know about it.

The problem is etiquette. It's sort of not good to put this in the job description officially so employers need to somehow subtly convey this employees that this is what will be expected.

If you want a really good seal you wrap the tape 1-2 overlaps at the start of the thread and progressively make it thicker and thicker so you have more overlaps (10x) at the base. I guess it depends on the fittings but some run out of tapper and you can't tighten it anymore without the hexagonal nut hitting the adjacent fitting. This works well as you're building your own tapper which is sort of acting as an o-ring.

Generally BSP male fittings are always tapped which is why they don't mention it.

Somewhat related; another symbol Nazis used is the Fasces[0] has managed to continue widespread use to this day. Despite its obvious etymological roots in common with Fascism.

You'll even find it in the currently used Seal of the United States Senate[1]!

It's also often seen displayed prominently on stone buildings across the US. I was recently walking around downtown St. Charles, IL and there were Fasces overhanging the entrances of an old stone apartment building.

A composite index can also be used for a partial index scan[1], so if you're frequently looking for just int100 as well as the int100,int1000 combination (as per the article's example), then a composite index int100,int1000 can be used for queries just filtering on int100.

The order of the columns in the composite index might matter then. We got some nice savings by reordering columns in indexes and changing the join order in queries (our DB wasn't that smart) or adding a "useless" filters to the where clause, allowing us to consolidate multiple indexes into one composite one.

[1]: might be using the wrong terminology here, I'm not talking about a partial index[2], but using only the first N dimensions of a M-dimensional index.

I've seen implementations of gitops CD pipelines use git notes as a store for release metadata and to facilitate image promotion. I like that in theory but I worry about the fact that git notes are mutable.
I'm curious how you would do data oriented programming in a language with no type system and no control over memory layout. And I guess the answer is "you can't, but JITs might exist someday that do it for you"

But you can't wave your hands around and say compiler optimizations will fix performance problems - they can, but they're not magic, and the arrow in the proverbial knee for optimization passes are language semantics that make them impossible to realize (forcing the authors to either abandon the passes, or rely on things like dynamic deoptimization which is not free).
I suspect you're being intentionally obtuse, but it bears repeating that there are plenty of simple activities that are forbidden by policy, and it would be just silly to argue that there shouldn't be any.
I’m hesitant to engage in this one, but it is interesting to me. Please note: I am not intending to make this a conversation about politics, and will do my best not to respond to any comments about politics.

> Is Trump's tantrum about losing the 2020 election an example of Narcissistic Collapse?

Given what I know about NPD, Trump’s initial run for the presidency might be an example of lashing out in response to a perceived slight.

Trump was vocal in the “Birther” scene during Obama’s presidency. In response to that, Obama publicly ridiculed Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in 2011: https://news.yahoo.com/news/blogs/ticket/obama-ridicules-tru...

I’ve heard several people, on both sides of the political aisle, mention this specifically as the direct motivation for Trump to run in 2016.

As the race continued, Clinton’s overt condescension of Trump seemed to galvanize him to continue and double down - he returned her mocking with straight-forward insults. Because Clinton was wildly unpopular with a bit over half the country, this went over very well indeed and likely resulted in his election.

All in all, I’m fairly confident that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton were the direct causes of the Trump presidency - they unwittingly played directly to the part of Donald Trump’s personality that most strongly motivate him.
They sound miserable, though, is what I'm saying. How are VLCD people expected to do any sort of fitness or do any sort of mentally taxing labor if they're hungry and running on little nutrition basically all of the time for months? That seems totally unreasonable unless we send obese people to some kind of clinic like we do for addicts, and then how do they adapt back into the real world? Are there any actual studies of people doing this long-term and how this affects their bodies?

I was always told crash diets fuck you up for years. How can this be true and also people are apparently starving for months and that's totally fine?

EDIT: Wait, is my understanding is that you have to starve for up to 4 months for a worse-than-coinflip chance at diabetes? Do we know if it stays off for 5 years? 10 years? Do you have to coinflip again? What happens if it doesn't work?

It's not just the immediate survivors who were affected by the Holocaust.

A significant portion of the Hasidic Jews in the US are descendants of Holocaust survivors. For example: members of the Satmar dynasty. A significant number of non-Hasidic Jews in the US are descendants of holocaust survivors who immigrated after World War 2. This includes, children of survivors, grandchildren of survivors, and great-grandchildren of survivors. I assure you, the Holocaust remains a very difficult subject for many Jewish families, including mine, and it also affects a lot of Jewish families who weren't directly affected.

"Never Shall I Forget" by Elie Wiesel

Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, that turned my life into one long night seven times sealed.

Never shall I forget that smoke.

Never shall I forget the small faces of the children whose bodies I saw transformed into smoke under a silent sky.

Never shall I forget those flames that consumed my faith for ever.

Never shall I forget the nocturnal silence that deprived me for all eternity of the desire to live.

Never shall I forget those moments that murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to ashes.

Never shall I forget those things, even were I condemned to live as long as God Himself.

Never.

It always surprises me how a tech/startup oriented forum like HN is so negative towards crypto.

I think it's insane that someone invented an algorithm to transfer value over the internet, without the involvement of a central party. Basically as soon as it has a tiny bit of value, you can transfer it, and so it has value.

It goes so far that you could store the private key in your head, and therefore use your head as basically a bank account, only accessible to you.

40-50 million in the war itself to be precise, but that doesn't account for all the millions of people who died in years directly after the war as a consequence of hunger, diseases, revenges, crime, political fights and persecution caused by the new division of powers... especially in Eastern Europe and Germany itself.
