Mistakes: 3, 5, 14, 19 (half points)

Answer to 9 would probably be accepted in a school exam, even though it's rounded to 2 decimals and the question didn't specifically ask for that.

So, depending on how severely you mark it, 75%-82.5%.
> Let's do drinking water next!

Come to England, we've already done that! One of only two countries in the world to completely privatise its water, the other being Chile.
Practice empathy and active listening. Really listen to what someone is saying, repeat back to them what they are saying and then ask clarifying questions (as appropriate).

This will deescalate conflicts and allow them to resolve.
We'll get a message from aliens, but no one will understand what it means.

People who actually need the housing? It’s not like land is cheap after all.
The public just wants to give the underdog a fair shot; they don't care much about what's happening in academic publishing, but they get angry if they perceive that somebody is being oppressed because of who or what they are. A few decades from now, the public response will depend on how successfully these issues were cast as matters of justice.
Midas lost his touch once he decided to jump into politics and champion "free speech" by doing exactly what he railed against.

Who knew that the right wing version of "freedom" is really about using money to promote more bias?

Who knew that blatant right wing hypocrisy was bad for business?
I don’t feel like this gave a satisfactory answer the question. Since everything was inlined, the argument passing convention made no difference in the micro benchmarks. But what happens when it does not inline? Then you would actually be testing by-borrow be by-copy instead of how good rust is at optimizing.
Agreed. The additional VirusTotal bypass was unexpected, and more interesting to me.
I don't know how young they are, but it's because renting absolutely sucks.

It's an entire inconvenience for not having an inital capital for a mortgage deposit.

I've rented many places, both with excellent and terrible landlords. And it makes little difference, when the laws offer so little protection to the renter.

It wouldn't be half as bad if the inconvience was offset with the rent being the cheaper option. But that isn't going to be economically viable in such a captialistic society.

Many more would complain if renting was a software product.
Get my shit in order. I feel like a lot of the systems I had in place to keep me sane and getting shit done have sort of fallen into disrepair the last couple of years. I feel tired and disorganized and spend too much time on my phone. Maybe it's a knock-on effect of the covid situation with lockdowns and isolation or I dunno. My health and fitness isn't as great as it was, I'm procrastinating too much and find myself doing things I know won't make me happy in stead of things I know will. Overall I'm just fed up with being tired all the time.

Maybe it's just time to re-read the roman stoics again. Epictetus never fails to be disappointed in me and my excuses.
Living in Europe this concept always seemed strange to me. I'm Polish and here it's normal to have couples living together while the parents are in the same house and even having sex together while parents are in the same house. There's no need to "hide" from the parents, you just ask them not to be disturbed for the next hour or two.
Is it common practice for not providing any context for what this is used for as a comment when it is submitted?
Your therapist, I'm sorry, is an idiot.

Your mother wasn't smothering for her own needs, she wanted to protect you. Your father didn't demand you go into a profession for his own satisfaction, he wanted to give you a good life.

Therapists and therapy will be the undoing of the West.
The airline industry and its basic economic model already existed in the 1930s. All the money did was accelerate the inevitable by 20yr.
Or make a progressive tax on property value: low tax rates for the first $500k or $1m of value and higher after, for "natural person" (i.e. non corporate) landowners. Let corporate land owners pay the higher tax on all value.

The problem with any of this is with elected government and privately funded campaigns, elected officials are mostly responsive to the needs of the donor class. So good luck getting passed any legislation that benefits the masses over the campaign donors.
Well, I don't think there is an easy way- I just walked away from the startup and lived on ramen for a couple of years, doing odd-ball contracts just to afford rent. During that time I learned a lot, essentially by telling prospective customers: "I do not have direct experience in this, but I have a pretty good idea on the involved steps. I am willing to do this as learning experience at a reduced rate". Many did agree, some projects turned out better than others- but eventually I did acquire enough experience to pass interviews at "real" companies.

Past two companies hired me specifically for UAV projects, so my professional experience has been in this field- however, it is so wide, that you can easily branch out:

* design one-off test hardware for various bench/field tests where an off the shelf solution doesn't fit (custom thrust stand, spring constant measurement jig to determine properties of vibration isolation solutions, simple blackbody for QA to determine if the LWIR payload meets specifications)

* like physics/control systems? Lot of work on tuning PID controllers, implementing simulators for pure SWEs to not crash your expensive prototypes

* hmm, it looks like we have excessive vibrations on the frame- whip up a small battery powered, WiFi enabled high-frequency accelerometer logger to dig deeper into it.
Hi,
I'd say that's a pretty loose reading if the posting rules. Here's part of them:

What to Submit

On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.

Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.
I think Amazon should be avoided, especially for books.

I've heard about more than one author being told "Either exclusively (or by far the cheapest) on Amazon or no Amazon at all". That's a really shitty attitude and should be punished by customers.

But then there is also a bazillion other reason to avoid Amazon like the plague.

Someone that people loved very much will perish.
I feel that choosing the language based on how close it is to thinking in maths is putting the cart behind the horse, because in all scientific and applied scientific code I've seen, the actual math models is something like 10-20% of the code, and the majority is all the data management and plumbing around that; so you should pick the language based on how easy and maintainable the majority of the code will be, which is not the 'mathy' part of it.
> for some bizarre reason you cannot have your own bedroom

The most obvious reason is cost. It's far cheaper to build a dormitory with 1 room per 2-4 residents than with 1 room per 1 resident.
Probably in uk it's not so widespread yet, so they can't show their true face yet.
This is my first type hearing about linear types, but my guess is the name comes from the fact that you have to repeatedly “thread” a value through your code to keep using it. If you look at the example for Files, you have to pass the outputted file pointer from writeFile as an input value to the next writeFile. So you can picture that one file pointer as linearly threading through you code. And it’s specifically linear because your “thread” can’t “branch”, because that would mean you’re using the same value twice (except an if-statement is kind of a branch, but it’s ok because when the code runs the value will follow a linear path).

But I agree that “linear types” is not a great name. Something like “single use types” would be clearer to me.
>> anti-discrimination legislation, I conjecture, gradually select the woke to the top of the elite.

ironically, you're making a perfect argument for natural selection in evolutionary studies selecting... people who will eventually deny the existence of natural selection.

I wonder if this is also an end stage of a lot of other systems of knowledge.
I scanned the whole article for mention of how visits to the coast are obviously related to affluence. They mention that all socioeconomic classes can justify a visit (this is false, the contradiction being myself) but don’t go into any detail at that mention. Did I miss this anywhere else?

I’m not calling b.s. on the article; I am curious if any other HNers have parsed the surrounding research and seen discussion of this (isn’t it blatantly obvious?) correlation between affluence and wellbeing.
I never lived in a dorm where one was fed in the cafeteria, but rather did two years at home and two in an on-campus apartment with a kitchen. On the whole, I now think that I really didn't go to college to practice cooking.
I’ve heard it described as: anti-discrimination legislation puts the burden of proof on employers to prove they aren’t motivated by discrimination, which is essentially impossible so they instead try to show that they are more committed to “anti-racism” than the median institution, which of course raises the median to the point where exceeding the median requires increasingly ridiculous, performance stuff.

Initially I was skeptical of this model because it only explains administrators’ fervor, but as I thought through the knock-on effects, I think it probably does a decent job of explaining faculty and student zeal as well, at least over time.
>If it fills with non hacker type news, what is the point of hacker news?

The point of hacker news, stated in the guidelines: "Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity."

Hacker News isn't, and has never been, a strictly technology oriented forum.
So you want to punish developers building apartment complexes in high-demand cities, while billionaires can enjoy their hundred million dollars tax free? NIMBYs tend to be private homeowners, so this would defeat much of the purpose of the LVT.
> the the use of certain terms of art in the field, like “fitness” is both ableist and discourages people from going into evolutionary biology.

"The Dawn of Everything" by the Davids, Graeber and Wengrow.

It's a little dense and a bit meandering at times, but the core idea behind it: we have a strong bias in believing that civilization comes in stages. We believe we go 'hunter/gatherer/primitive' -> agriculture -> 'real' civilization. Basically, this is totally false.

Not only is it totally false, but one of the reasons we might have this bias is because, while the native Americans were being eradicated, Western thinkers and theologians had to justify why Western civilization was 'better', despite native Americans basically giving Westerners the seeds for individual liberties and social blueprints for the Western Enlightenment...

It really uprooted my deepest beliefs about human history, civilization, and (most importantly for me) what I believe "the future" should look like. Mind-expanding for sure.
And Christmas 2021 Disney mistakenly put on the wrong voices and we almost killed the guy from DR planning it
Then why do I never hear woke language IRL? People who I associate with are overwhelmingly left of center and under 35 BTW, so sample bias is actually making this a stronger indication of public opinion.

Edit: and anybody who has ever dealt with an HOA knows that the silent majority is absolutely a real thing.
It comes from Linear Logic, where there's no inference A&B->A. I think the point of the name is "there's always progress".

This talk explains some other origins as well as the connections between different logics to different type systems (though the focus is on stack languages)

That’s correct. If the post is not hot anymore, continue monitoring new votes wouldn’t have much impact on the sorting, at least not the top ones. And because for sites like HackerNews and Reddit, once it’s not trending enough, it’s rare the upvotes continue to increase a lot. So this is a trade off I think makes sense considering the nature of RSS feed.
You don't have a judge decide on that first? That seems insane.
It's difficult to worry about higher-order emotions when your basic material needs aren't met.
If we now have (1) a better understanding of proteins (i.e. AlphaFold) (2) studies like this that increase our understanding how one microbe attacks another

(1) Couldnt we create proteins that are able to kill a specific microbes?
(2) Put these proteins in a "dialisys" machine, so that as our blood passes thru the machine, the proteins there kill the microbe
(3) Same protein or other protein help the machine separate the debris of the dead microbe from the good blood

How feasible would that be with the technology we have? To me it seems a good idea, as focusing on this type treatment drug development would be much shorter - since the drug/protein never enters the body - so you wouldnt need long clinical trials.

And given the rise of super resistant bacteria, also seems a good idea to my non-specialist self.
Well, yes, it’s a great reason not to publish there, but only if you can afford not to do so. Amazon dominates the e-book market.
I am completely mystified by what the "ASP Language Standard" is. The clingo page references it and the link it cites provides literally no contextual information about it.
I wouldn’t proclaim its perfect. But I think it’s a system we are all generally pretty proud of.

It may have something to do with the fact that everyone has to vote, so you either learn how it works or try to dodge it. As in, it’s your responsibility as a citizen, not your right.

We also had the decade of Prime Ministers, where it was reasonably for you not to know who the current prime minster was. Amusingly the UK recently had a go at this as well, with about the same results.
That's a coincidence, my daughter is 3.5 years old too!

The reason I'm interested is my wife is pregnant with our second. First four months our daughter slept all the time. 5 to 11 months was an nightmare. Then it settled down and she sleeps 8 to 6.30 most nights. I think we were lucky, especially after reading what you went through!
I see this amongst younger users (under 35) on the forums I run.

They are very happy sharing a vitriolic dislike of everything that is a landlord society.

This is very clearly against even a single buy-to-let landlord, but fully extends to all AirBnBs, their rental flats/homes (it is shocking how few seem to have a communal living space - their living room has been converted to a sleeping room to make the rent affordable), and it extends to the perception of what Netflix is and everything about SaaS business models.

They do not hesitate to share ways in which they sabotage landlords in small ways daily. They gleefully share about coffee grinds down the sink in the AirBnB that has a septic tank, of using "bills included" rentals to run the heater... some of them in the cold snap before Christmas went into discount AirBnBs just to run the heating constantly, and of course there's rampant piracy.

There is a very angry generation coming up.

I'll note, I wouldn't have even thought the demographic of the sites I run would be considered left leaning or poverty, these are middle-class people who are angry at their hardship compared to what they perceive as they easy wealth and times of the preceding generations.
Why allow anyone to own multiple houses then?

Providing rental properties is a valuable service
We still use master branches as part of our coding guidelines.
Until it catches on and Amazon changes their practices.
We often don't know what to visit after turning on the vpn. Now I have built a ranking list of websites that can be voted to select the most worthwhile websites.
> It's maybe clubs for tweens

I’m guessing I’m not the only one who thought that "tweens" meant people in their 20s. As a tip: Don’t say you are into tweens.

This is what operations is supposed to do.

... on the other hand not firing people for negligence is how you build a moat, and pump the stock.
>The lab was located in Wuhan strategically because it's a very central transit hub but also very close to the bat caves where thousands of coronavirus varieties are believed to emerge from. As one of the leading coronavirus focused virology labs in the world, they collaborated with universities, governments, and corporations to advance related research.

Important to note that COVID-19 is not believed to have come from the caves close to Wuhan, but from the caves in the south of China, very far from Wuhan.

That doesn't contradict anything you posted, just an added level of detail.
My understanding is that the 'linear' terminology derives from the field of Linear Logic[1]. But, I am by no means an expert on theoretical computer science etymology!

You could trick viruses into injecting tasty organic nitrogen-phosphorus compounds directly into waiting vacuoles.
"Science" says old people are less willing to change their language to suit politically correct fads? I wonder what it must say about people too young to recognize the first fashionable wave of politically correct zealotry they happen to get caught up in. There's probably a word for how they feel looking back at themselves later.
Russia will win in Ukraine. It will probably result from some sort of prolonged general strike in an utterly exhausted Ukraine. The only modern war that Ukraine is comparable to, IMHO, is the Second Congo war. All the powers around it rush in to grab the resources of a destabilized country with the infrastructure getting obliterated and a huge humanitarian problem.

AI will march forward completely unimpeded by law or regulation. A new AI bubble reminiscent of the early internet boom will start to form. "I use ChatGPT in my development workflow" will become the new "I know HTML." Crowdfunding for training open source models will be common. Someone will train a porn generating stable diffusion causing a moral outcry.

Oil production will fall slightly. The oil price will start to rise. Tesla trucks will launch and be immensely popular. Battery production will continue to be a big concern. Coal will continue to do well, surprising everyone.

Housing will continue to crash. This will delay a lot of redevelopment in San Francisco and other downtowns. That will start when interest rates fall again. That will be in 2024 or later.

India and Mexico will do well. China will see significant death because of COVID. Europe will continue to deindustrialize. The aftermath of the Ukraine war might cause serious political realignments.

Biotech will advance dramatically, but will receive little press. Stem cell treatments will go mainstream.

Google will fail to redesign their business or even come out with a sophisticated chatbot AI product because their corporate culture can't handle the social political risks of AI. They can't even handle the risks of their employees believing It's alive. Larry Page and Sergei will continue to stay disengaged from the business, though one might give an interview lamenting the hyperpolitization of the company.

Metaverse hype will continue. No one will care.

Crypto, mainly Bitcoin, will continue to trudge along and absorb most of the volume. It will become an enemy currency in the U.S when Russia starts using it for payments.

Food prices will continue to rise. There will be more Sri Lanka situations in which countries start experiencing extreme food insecurity.

Vax backlash will not pick up any more than it already has. Murmurs of something very disturbing going on will continue beneath the surface. There will continue to be staffing shortages in the medical, airline, and public sector. Many new companies will be born to replace people with robots and automation in these industries. Alternative health will continue to grow in popularity, especially radically new approaches to healthcare. Regulations will be a problem, but people will get creative.
> Why do the students and benefactors push this view? Because they are taught thus by professors, closing the circle?

Your reasoning applied to the 1960s would say that students only opposed the Vietnam War because their professors told them to. You should ascribe more agency to university students.

Much more likely that their professors just taught them biology and how to operate lab equipment.

Graduate students especially are incentivized to come up with new ways of seeing the world. That’s what writing a dissertation is all about. This is the same mindset carried over from biology to a social issue normally seen as unrelated.

Edit: Those who are downvoting without replying, have you been to grad school, or are you just imagining what professors spend their time telling their students?
1. Issues around Corona boosters will become more apparent. Reports and studies linking damaged immune and vascular systems to mRNA vaccinations will become more and more clear, until the whole "let's 'boost' children and young adults twice a year" push gets quietly dropped altogether.

2. This won't lead to any impactful accountability or reform.

3. Referencing new health studies will be considered 'impolite', and 'conspiracy-adjacent', as will any discussion of corruption or profiteering.
The Career Advice I Wish I Had
For me as a non-native English speaker it might be a case of English having confusing pronunciations. Pronunciation of loose and lose is very similar if not the same (I probably couldn't tell them apart). One might expect lose to be pronounced similarly to words like hose, rose or pose.
