Case study? Where? This "analysis" is closer to: it broke therefore it was brittle.

What we'll eventually find out this: based on some investment / return, the system did what it was designed to do based on some set of profit-deliverable assumptions.

Then there was a black swan.
Well not by filing radars, that’s for sure. Infiltrate to a senior vp level, then take charge?
That's kind of a weird way to put it... as if the image came from the TV?
> The silly thing is to assume that since you had a bad experience with someone they are like this all the time.

The post mentions doctors and seems to indicate that they would put a higher percentage of humans in the ‘terrible’ category.

Add stress and people act poorly. There also seems to be a thing where people can’t always articulate what they are feeling (eg a specific phobia they have) and act out in response to the stress.

Once the stress has gone they are different people.

Don’t get me wrong, I also think that more than 5% of people are terrible.

I work in healthcare as a radiographer.
Minor nit: many of the differences in the article aren't really specific to the Rust vs C++, but rather differences between llvm vs whatever compiler backend is used by msvc.

I was about to say, as someone who DNs sometimes, I like countries like Croatia where I could recharge the Schengen window. Technically you can live in the EU forever if you keep rotating every 90 days, but practically speaking, I'm not sure if border agents will refuse your entry if you keep doing that.
Why start your comment with an ad hominem attack? Also his IFR numbers appear similar to few other studies too. So nothing extremely out of ordinary.
The EU should be an independent power standing on its own two feet, it has the size and strength for that, and should seek its own profitable relations with both the US and China, and other powers like India, equally.

The idea that the EU is to be 'allied' with the US against China is an US-centric view, and implies subservience to the US because the goal really is to protect the US' position in the world. The EU should do what serves its interests best and that is not as hard a stance on China as the US would like.
The improved credit profile is due to the positives of have the same currency as your major economic partners, also because Croatia cannot unilaterally devalue the euro.

Croatia has a good credit rating because it's shown fiscal restraint, but for the given good work it's done on it's fiscal position, it's now getting an even lower rate.If Croatians started acting like Greece, that wouldn't be the case. Investors have learned their lesson.

Tried it out on Android and it feels janky. It just feels like a web app and it's not working well. To just give one example, if I click on the header of a note, a menu with "options" shows up. But Android also selects the text in the header and pops up a menu with "Cut, Copy, Paste, etc." which is exactly on top of that menu I was actually trying to get to...
I saw a PBS show some years back that found traces of french DNA in the eastern tribes, along with some similarities of arrowheads with some found in caves in France. The speculation is that some ice age french cavemen crossed the Atlantic ice to get to America.

Proxies and state-mutating getter functions are pretty edge features of JS tbh

Show HN: Vikara – free chatbot to promote healthy eating
My name is Pravin and I'm a Flutter developer. I've developed a free chatbot app called Vikara to prevent disordered eating, and would appreciate if you could download and try it out. It is free, asks for no personal info - it does not even have a signup.

More details: I had a bout of anxiety driven binge eating last year when Covid hit India pretty hard. I'm in US and aged parents are in India. I felt helpless being not able to fly there, and constantly worrying about my folks. Fortunately, they came out okay (upto 3 million died in India). I researched what had happened to me, and realized I went through a binge eating phases, commonly called 'emotional eating' - i.e., resorting to eating a large amount of food in a short duration to soothe negative emotions like stress or anxiety. Coincidentally, I was learning Flutter, so I decided to built a solution that helped people prevent binge eating. So built a chatbot called Vikara using Flutter and DialogFlow and shipped it.

Vikara has 3 conversational flows: prevent overeating, curb binge-eating, maintain a positive body image. Each conversation flow is based on evidence-based research papers that I found in the public domain. At this point, I'm looking for feedback from users, so I would appreciate if you could please download and try it, and let me know what you think. Constructive criticism is welcome as well. You can send feedback directly to me at: pravin@vikara.app

Thanks and best regards,
Pravin
> I would submit we should be cautious with metaobservations like, "this is much older than other sites," because we should be trying to prove ourselves wrong, whereas these sorts of metaobservations amplify confirmation bias.

Both 'we should be trying to prove ourselves wrong' and 'Being so far out of line with other evidence means that the evidence in favor of hominids needs to be exceptionally rock solid' can both be valid at the same time. The base rate of a 'false positive' for extraordinary claims that conflict with an existing body of evidence is typically much higher so confidence in the evidence would need to quite strong for that piece of evidence to move the consensus.

I'd consider myself largely a frequentist but the relevant xkcd [1] comes to mind

I'd argue that ignoring that aspect can amplify one's susceptiblity to confirmation bias if one is predisposed to believing in a very early American hominid story for whatever reason.

Some people still use stats from 2008. Since then EU is flat, both USA and China growing like crazy. India might catch up with EU in the next 20 years as well.
GDScript seems very similar to a simple Python syntax. I really had no problem picking it up when working through some Godot tutorials. The syntax is so simple that if you ever needed to port it to another language it should be quite trivial to do so. I would be interested to hear the experiences and opinions of anyone who’s written a considerable amount of GDScript though.
It's interesting that you mentioned, Ciechanowski. It's definitely what I thought of when I saw your post.

After seeing the GPS post [1] on that website, I also decided that I wanted to write posts with more visualizations. I wonder how many people the author has inspired!

Extremely cool.

Something small seems a little off and I'm trying to quantify it. It's something to do with the rope in the tighter bends. Somehow I think the rope needs to be a little tighter — the twisted bits a little closer together as the bend tightens.

Maybe tightening the spacing between "knots" relative to the amount of curvature — rather than using a fixed spacing? Imagine some longitudinal compression occurs as the bend tightens.

Here's an example of an "analog" rope image that might be illustrative: https://cpartyrentals.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/rope-le...
Well someone is paying it, or else the prices would come down. The middle and lower class are just being pushed out
> The result is that you're looking at a class with a dependency of "ISomething" and you can't click through to the class.

You can. Jetbrains' Rider will happily show you the implementation (Cmd + Option + Click IIRC)

> The worst is when there are entire behaviors added this way, and you just have to search your code base for keywords to figure out what's happening.

Not in ASP.net in mu experience. But true for Spring in Java.

In ASP only the classes you declare in the constructor get injected. Only the classes registered in ConfigureServices get injected etc.

All in all ASP.net has surprisingly little magic compared to many other frameworks.

That's not to say it's without warts. There are definitely WTF cases and places where you can't properly stop a debugger.
I doubt they were able to surge hiring. The labor shortage is real nobody wants to work mcjobs, especially with amazons terrible reputation
That might not be positive. But now there is even less friction with local companies in Croatia selling services to those countries.
Can't disagree, but still it feels wrong, doesn't it?

If we consider instead filesystem space exhaustion, it's easier to imagine a reasonable expectation that the system could enter a degraded service state (e.g. reads work but writes don't), then recover without restart.

In fact I've worked on products that expected to provide exactly that kind of behavior, and we (tried to) test it.
No, the EU started as a trade alliance and evolved into the bureaucratic behemoth it is today. It's a large part of why they have so many issues they've basically created the problems we had with the articles of confederation. A federal power without enough authority to resolve a lot of issues.
Have a wonderful 2023, HN!
Just to be granular and pedantic: if your settings are identical and you are both denying the app your detailed location, then it still could make sense since you'd both be placed into slightly different locations. I also assume that isn't the case but am just mentioning it.

I just updated Visual Studio 2022 with all the latest updates and installed the Clang toolchain. I also updated Rust to latest.

C++ MSVC: By-Copy: 12,077 By-Ref: 11,901

C++ Clang: By-Copy: 5,020 By-Ref: 5,029

Rust: By-Copy: 3,173 By-Borrow: 3,148

All on Windows, and on the same i7-8700k desktop I used for the original post in 2019.

Your Rust numbers are particularly curious. Maybe run `rustup update` and try again?
Disagreeable personalities are definitely a thing, and some have some other stuff stacked on top that can make for persistently unreasonable people.

Off the top of my head I knew someone who had a really hard loss that they couldn't cope with, and you could basically just see them reeling it in all the time, and that was expressed outwardly as anger. Really tragic situation though, and if you didn't know the details you'd just assume they're a raging prick.

I find it hard to mine compassion when I don't know someone's backstory, and I usually default to filling in the details with some kind of dismissive story about them just being self centered and belligerent (probably true some of the time though). I find life goes better when I try to fill in the blanks with some kind of reasoning that would explain that behaviour better (while still not excusing it).
Wasn't that debt (loans) rather than shares?
> If a candidate said they were going to prioritize rebuilding our failing infrastructure, to include roads, bridges, power generation and transmission, communications, and defense assets

If they didn't follow it up with, "and your share of the bill will be...", then I'd be pretty skeptical. Stuff costs money and you can't cut taxes and expect the government to perform all that it did before you cut them. Of course, I might be the only person in America to vote for a politician who would actually say that.
In my experience it is generally worse than that. If a program has a retention rate of, say, 30% then it isn't like that is going to come as a surprise. Data generally reveals things that are very obvious. It is easier to read a situation by talking to a few people and asking simple questions. Which raises further questions about why a data-driven approach is needed.

The value in data driven approaches is high, but it takes a rare person to figure out why. Traditionally data has actually been a communication tool for things that are already known. That isn't at all how people expect it to be used, everyone seems to anticipate it is used to make decisions.

An organisation resisting data is bad news because it will struggle to talk about things that everyone knows to be true.
But costs are different, so that seemed like it would harm the ability of small businesses to compete? Wouldn't it be better to have a 'most favoured nation' deal where the cost of the book to a supplier (from the publisher) is fixed. That seems like it would create better competition? I can pay more for better service, for example.
> The idea that the EU is to be 'allied' with the US against China is an US-centric view, and implies subservience to the US.

No, it implies a realistic view of the world. Until the EU can handle it's own self defense it's inherently an unbalanced power arrangement.
Happy New Year and keep in mind what happened 2023 years ago.
I pity all you heretics who are celebrating the new year tonight. We followers of The One True Julian Calendar are sitting at home alone for the next 14 days.
Of course, perhaps this should be reduced to "keep an eye out for silly branches"
You can do one without the other.
Happy new year from Kyiv :-)

00:30, air raid sirens went off, and more explosions.

Looks like a country-wide alarm is in place right now.
I would suggest that NATO was the main reason for relative peace in Europe from 1945 up to 1991.

After that things went very wrong, culminating in what we have today. Russia could have been part of the EU, as was certainly possible especially given the completely new dynamic that existed after the fall of the soviet union. That would truly have been a positive project.

I don't know if we could ever have undone the mistakes that were made from 1991 onwards, plenty of people tried to include Russian nationalism into international politics, but by then it was far too late, we were dealing with a mess that we had created.

For the last 10 years they have done the opposite and tried to legitimise themselves against this bogeyman i.e. implicitly stating that your only alternatives are a socially and economically liberal democracy that seems powerless to address systemic issues, or socially reactionary forces.

But the later keeps becoming more prominent due to the failure of the former.

Point 2 I agree with the sentiment.
I suspect they took the opinion it’s not worth dealing with the many potential edge cases to support people who are booking appointments in the far distant past. How many people have even gone back that far in Google Calendar, never mind actually created any calendar events?
>the ordinary, the mundane, the average, the rock-no-boats

Most great things are accomplished by them, often by teams of them. They don't just run around and brag about their success.

For instance Polio wasn't nearly eradicated by people like Musk, it where hard working ordinary people.

BTW most of the things attributed to Musk are done by his employees, the ordinary guys who never accomplish great things /s
The issue is that in the past rocket author went missing and no one could take the lead to continue the development, axum in the other hand is under tokio org, so the community could take the lead in that regard.

I loved rocket when I first learned about it, now two years passed and it stalled because no one could pick up the project, there were (I don’t know it there still are) a lot of PR's from the community that were waiting for someone to review and merge it.

But if rocket is being migrating to an org, kudos to the project and hope it continues to innovate like in the past.

- No phone or laptop to bed.

- Wake up early. 5:30am or so and get a run or workout in before the day starts.

- Do better to keep up with relationships. They are the most important thing.

- Spend more free time productively.

What happened 2023 years ago?
Yet switzerland has the oldest continuing government in the world.

Meanwhile, we had at least 1 close brush with failure (civil war). And counting.

You need to take care of factions and you need big, heated arguments at the local level. So they dont end up scaled up at the federal level.

Otherwise those scaled up "solutions" ends up massive problems, such as the sudden reversal of abortion, foreign interventions, and housing/ credit meltdowns due to federal subsidies of mortgage insurance.
Just about every solution you can think of is feasible with enough engineering effort. We need to think about what we want to optimize.

We need a solution which involves a logistical tail to Earth as tiny as we can, being very light on the mission [ = don't cost much weight/fuel ], and dealing as little as possible with lunar, and in general non-terrestrial, surfaces [ = less uncertainty, easier to fix] . Your suggestion fails the last two, and probably the first if we ever need to replace the cable (unless someone does come up with those ultra-special robots half of these proposals suggest).

These considerations strongly lean towards external power supply solutions. I hadn't considered the variant the article suggested. Neat, but I suspect it's politically infeasible - all nations on Earth will demand a vote, and just look at climate negotiations to see how long this takes and how expensive this will get.

IMHO, the obvious solution given our tech level involves geostationary satellites, requires no tech beyond our current capabilities, covers 100% of the surface and involves relatively little burden on the mission itself or dealing with non-terrestrial surfaces. If we think anything is at risk of going wrong, we can just launch more satellites.
Yes, multiple waves is suggested near the very end of the article, and that this is a focus of current data collection:

> Another possibility ties together evidence of Population Y and potential archaeological evidence at sites like White Sands. Could there have been multiple migrations into the Americas, with one pre-LGM migration consisting of Population Y individuals (and perhaps Unsampled Population A or other groups we have yet to identify), and one post-LGM migration? This would reconcile the archaeological evidence of early traces of humans in the Americas (if they are indeed legitimate, which has yet to be demonstrated to everyone’s satisfaction) and the genetic data.

> Archaeologists sceptical of White Sands’ early dates are dubious of the second scenario, and it is admittedly speculative. We need a great deal more data, both genomic and archaeological, to test it. But, as a field, we are actively engaged in collecting that data, even as I type these words.
Feels good to be ahead of the US for a change . Happy new year

Someone in the comments once explained that the movie, "The Apartment" (1960), has become their New Year's Eve tradition.

It is now mine.

At precisely 9:58 PM I have scheduled "The Apartment" to begin playing on my TV. If you do the same you'll enjoy the synchronization when midnight drops. (And what a great film from 1960.)
I've used Memex before, and it was good, but after a while had ingested so much data that it was ba far the highest consumer of RAM on my work computer. I started toggling it off to get some performance back, but then I'd forget to turn back on when it mattered, and only discover later when something I searched for wasn't indexed. D'oh!
China probably gained something by manipulating their currency, but it is also very very special case.

In general stability is better for small countries. And Euro is big enough to be stable enough.
Southwest executives understood that they were running on borrowed time with their crew scheduling software. At the very least an alternate or secondary process should have been in place.

The US air traffic control network is a good example. In case of a primary failure, there exist secondary procedures adopted from before air traffic control radar was common.
Another question about that demo.

https://clickhouse.com/docs/en/getting-started/example-datas... says "Dataset contains all events on GitHub from 2011 to Dec 6 2020" - but I'm seeing results in there from a couple of hours ago.

Do you know if that's continually updated and, if so, is that documented anywhere?

Calling it flat is a little misleading as Brexit removed a large chunk of EU’s total GDP.

The reality is the countries within the current EU experienced real growth which is likely to continue.
I think you misunderstand me. I'm not making an argument (ie I'm not claiming this to prove anything), I'm remarking on a pattern that I see recur, and an example in this article that sparked my interest. Not every comment is an argument, and not every discussion needs to be a debate.

I think it's interesting that conspiracy theory tropes seem to recur very reliably over time. I have an interest in this topic and when I'm reading about it, I find there's a lot of rhyming.

Conspiracism and exploded scientific hypothesis are quite different in nature. They're "wrong" in quite different ways. I recently made a comment addressing this and it might interest you:

To your last point, origin myths are a claim about religious truth, not scientific truth. You can't meaningfully compare statements from different epistemologies like that.
