How the hell are you supposed to assess and improve on the infinite dimensions of yourself when this is your inner monologue?
It's been pointed out how in the Avenger movies, Thanos wiping out half of all life in the universe having the effect of disappearing half of humans didn't really make sense, cause it would probably mostly take out insects, or maybe there's a small handful of planets that contain majority of individual lifeforms that would take the brunt of that.

I suppose it's implied it was "half of life" on a per-species basis. It's basically magic, so probably best not to think about it too much.

3Blue1Brown videos seem like a good resource to use along any book. My experience as a math major (in the distant past) is that the kind of visualization the author shows you is also something you want to imitate in your head when you are learning new concepts. I find things I learned in this level tended to stick in my head 10+ years later, other stuff less.

I don't know that I have one, but some names come to mind Charles Petzold (Windows Programming books), Stephen Kochan (Objective C book).

But I think my "favorite" programming teachers have been the ones that were at or just above my overall programming skill level. The point here is parity. I'm a fairly average programmer.

Often during classes, when I finish the classwork, I like to engage in a little extra credit and explore oddball ideas. If the instructor was at a similar level to me, the enthusiasm would often be contagious and rope them in. Sometimes this would turn into longer term projects. I always enjoyed that human aspect of programming.

How to set up modern design system using Storybook and Figma
Hello everyone!

I want to share with you how we set up our design system at Escape (YC W23).

If you want to share your experience making a design system in your company, don't hesitate! I look forward to hearing from you.

here is the article: https://escape.tech/blog/escape-design-system/

I think it's pretty well established that the dietary cholesterol to blood cholesterol link is very strong in some people, very weak in some people, and somewhere in the middle for most people. There are definitely 'hyper-responders' for whom dietary cholesterol is very, very bad. There are also people that can eat dozens of eggs a day and have perfectly normal blood cholesterol. The only way to know how those genetic dice rolled for you is to do a personal study - eat a lot of eggs for a while and see if you start to develop elevated cholesterol.

As an anecdote, I eat on average 8-10 eggs a day. They are my primary source of calories. My blood cholesterol is extremely low, like on the extreme low end of normal on most blood tests (although it is starting to creep up as I get older)

Nope, the majority of the industry has transitioned to factory farming, however cattle are still fed grass for the majority of their lives.

It’s not any less wasteful though. The system requires a massive amount of rangeland and grain to produce beef.
The HN title is incorrect. The original article has no mention of "fingerprints".

The title in the article is more accurate: "...Are Sharing Sensitive Data With Google". Perhaps it was updated later. Or there was some misuse of the word "fingerprint" (i.e. browser/device fingerprint, opposed an actual scan of your finger).
Is there non-organic meat in Switzerland?

For fresh, organic, skinless, boneless chicken breast you can pay $27/lbs in the US at an upscale store. Or skin-on non-organic at Walmart for under $3.

I have no frame of reference for if that is the beast chicken you can get from a fancy grocery store or the standard chicken from a standard store.

Your eggs seem to be about 50% higher than US eggs right now. Which seems to work out to a similar multiple if your chicken breast prices are for high-end chicken in a high-end store.

Prosody developer here. Sorry that your first experience developing with Prosody was a poor one. I think about this a lot - we've had a lot of people come from the direction of Jitsi, wanting to extend things for various purposes, and I understand that, depending on what you are trying to do, it can be like jumping in at the deep end.

All at once, not only do you have to suddenly grok Lua and Prosody's APIs, but also XMPP and the way that Jitsi uses it. Prosody's API documentation typically assumes you understand XMPP concepts and what you are trying to do with them.

I also generally only hear from people after they've already tried and struggled (they either reach out then, or I hear the story later on after they've given up). Unfortunately this means we don't get much useful feedback from folk like you who are trying to build upon the Jitsi/Prosody duo.

I've thought about some Jitsi-focused developer docs, and possibly even an additional API layer that presents things using high-level Jitsi concepts rather than the low-level XMPP concepts. But I don't know how much demand/interest there actually is, or whether I'm even barking up the right tree with these solutions.

Anyway, this is something I'm aware of and I appreciate any specific feedback - you can email developers@prosody.im to reach us.
I believe that text posts are ranked lower than links.
What if you don’t want general relationships and instead design specific blocks as desired? Coincidentally similar geometry doesn’t mean that it must become a local standard with a name and be factored out. It’s actually a bad practice named “fragile base class”.
> So as a business case where would you draw the line?

I thought I addressed that: I'm grateful to not be in that position. Moreover, I do not think that it's a good thing for a single company to have consolidated power over the communications of the entire world as facebook has. If I were so situated, I would break them up.
And far less data in total. Linguistic data is only a tiny fraction of what we humans are exposed to.
Then you didn't try a good one, yet. I can say the same about a steak that's cooked "wrong" or a "burger" where nobody ever knows what actually is in there because for all you know it can be hundreds of dead animals in a single burger patty.

It tastes terrible, if you cannot cook. That is true for every single meal.
You may not think I'm right, but that is the actual history. This operation was invented at a time where geometry was the main way mathematics was done. The square root is a much older concept than negative numbers (edit: at least in the Hellenistic world; Chinese and Indian mathematics may have had different histories).

So, by definition, the square root of 4 is +2. x * x = 4 has two solutions, which we dub +sqrt(2) and -sqrt(2).

Edit: to discuss just how much older, the concept of a square root appears in Euclid's Elements, c. 300 BC; on the other hand, Diophantus, in Arithmetica, c. 280 AD, was claiming that the equation 4x + 20 = 4 doesn't have any solutions/is absurd. So, the square root is more than 600 years older than negative numbers in the Hellenistic tradition.
As far as the canonical texts of math goes, Dummit and Foote is excellent. I'm also fond of the first half of Munkres' Topology.
"sudden increase in complexity and weirdness"
Probably an issue with the thing they did recently.

They temporarily removed all past conversations for everyone and now restored them all.
As to the "why", it's probably because some influential program or OS's UI started using toggle switches and then a lot of UI designers felt a need to follow along. It's unfortunate that bad UI designs are so contagious. (Some of my own pet peeves are skinny scrollbars on desktop apps and the fixation on making whitespace-infested UI that has no borders between different sections of the UI.)

Going back to toggle switches, the look of the switch when it's on is symmetrical and nearly identical to when it's off, barring a rotational transformation and sometimes a subtle color difference. Checkboxes on the other hand look very different when on or off. I think one guiding principle for UI should be that different states of the UI should look significantly different from each other. In the case of toggle switches, the difference is just not significant enough.
It would be useful if people went to their Google Account page, clicked the Security tab, then tried to access the Two Factor Auth page and reported back what options they had to authenticate. Do you have options other than "enter a two factor auth code"? Can you authenticate on that page with SMS or a backup code?
There is a reason that portion of the crude oil was made into plastic, and not sold as oil or fuel to begin with.
David Bressoud’s 4 books on calculus/analysis are the most engaging math books I’ve ever read. He uses the history of mathematics to drive the narrative and it’s an enlightening approach. However, this means certain theorems often taught in undergrad analysis are delayed until his “graduate” book and his graduate book would not be sufficient for passing many universities analysis quals. But the context and history he gives is fantastic.
What about the unbanked (i.e. people who don’t have bank accounts)?

And even if bank accounts were free, getting a bank account means accepting the terms and conditions written by the bank. Not to mention the laws and regulations regarding banking, which include sending your bank details to the US government, even if you are a European using a European bank.
Okay, that's a proposal. Now show where it passed and the results.
Ask HN: What self-hosted CMS can import from WordPress?
Since 2010 I've been self-hosting my WordPress blog:

http://www.smashcompany.com/

But I want to move to a new CMS. The most polite thing I can say about WordPress is that it's moved in a direction away from what I need. The new(ish) WYSIWYG editor, with the blocks, is very far from what I need or want.

What I want is WordPress, circa 2010, but without security flaws.

Right now, the biggest problem I face is the security flaws. The last time I upgraded I was immediately hacked, and after many attempts to get WordPress setup correctly, I found I could not avoid being hacked unless I chmod everything 0444, which means I cannot currently upload images, which I find frustrating.

So what is another CMS I can use? Preferably one that has great import of old WordPress instances? A static site generator would be fine with me.
> I, as Software Engineer, add value. I write the software ultimately.

Yeah, but if you wrote the wrong software (maybe because the PO specified the wrong thing and it wasn't your fault) -- did you still add value? No, you burned story points for no upside at all.
I had the same idea.

I bought myself a Remarkable 2 and signed up to Khan Academy. Now I'm revising algebra basics and I plan to go as advanced as Khan Academy lets me.

I was really bad at maths in school (UK A Levels). But I'm a successful software developer today. I felt like knowing more advanced maths could make me a better developer and not feel intimidated by a lot of the things I see.

I'm actually enjoying it as well. Maths isn't just something I have to do to get out of school, now it's something I want to do. And it gives me the same satisfaction as solving puzzles like sudoku.

I'd recommend it to anyone. The Remarkable 2 is actually really nice to write on too, since I want to store my notes digitally. And I make so many mistakes when writing, so undo is great.
I think the title is probably sensationalized and should be edited to match the page per the typical rules. I suspect good intent here though where this probably means "fingerprints" in the technical sense and the article does talk about that.

I've had a pair of these since September 2022 and tried them on quite a few things. The 45* viewing angle is not really a problem, because it's not for VR and VR support is _very_ limited (currently just specific Android devices or with CloudXR on specific GPUs with USB-C DP-alt output). The device support for AR functionality is better but there aren't any killer apps. Although there was a recent tech demo of them being used for live captioning real life.[0]

However, they work fantastically as a _dumb_ external display on any computer with USB-C DP-alt output. Tested on MacOS, Linux and Windows 7. My glasses with the firmware revision from ~November 2022 works without issue on M1 MBPs, 2018 Dell XPS and the SteamDeck. Prior firmware revisions had several issues with misrepresenting their capabilities to the host system causing unstable framerates so older reviews which mention this may no longer be applicable.

Best usecase I've found is for watching films on a plane or in bed. You can comfortably lay flat, staring at the ceiling without the cable getting in the way. But there is an amount of reflection on the screen when used in bright places which can be annoying.

I got mine cheaper imported from Japan. If you're in the UK do not bother trying to get them from EE.

If you're trying to understand a domain work (such as Euler's) you could probably get a working knowledge in a month of strong study, a year of off-and-on.

I bet you could start this week if you used machine translations as a crutch.

I'd start working with a publication that exists in Latin and a good translation, so you can compare your work.
That one is easy. See where toggle switches are most popular. It is in situations where the site gets some benefit out of you being confused and putting the switch on the opposite setting. This is usually for the privacy settings required by the EU.

It allows sites to reap the benefits of some confused incorrect settings while being in full compliance with EU regulations.
Going back through Discrete would probably be a good idea as well.
That seems to no longer be the case. Toggling Bluetooth on iOS 16.2 on an iPhone 14 Pro replaces the slider with a spinner, and it even flickers when turned back on.

Also, the sliding only works correctly if you press and hold and then start sliding. If you swipe, it toggles regardless of which direction you swipe.

Except for platform providers, such as AWS deplatforming customers, duopoly app stores doing the same, and even core infrastructure providers like cloudflare making editorial decisions.

There's a real problem here, and I don't know what the solution is.

I believe in the right of private companies to refuse service.

However, the Orwellian silencing of dissenting opinions from qualified health care professionals during covid illustrated in the most stark way possible, that the public has an interest in free expression on the internet.

I have no idea how that's achieved though, or how you balance the rights of all parties.

I guess that's why we hire congress critters - to figure all that out.

Whatever they come up with will inevitably make a lot of people unhappy, though.
Appreciated, thanks. Just expected footnote marks in the article similar to Wikipedia or hyperlinks
Maybe not "made me better at math" per-se, but definitely "made me more enthusiastic about math":

The Universe Speaks in Numbers[1] by Graham Farmelo

I found this very motivating and insightful, in terms of developing even more of an appreciation for how much math underpins other branches of science. Not that that is a novel insight by any means... but the details of the incidents where breakthroughs in mathematics allowed further advances in physics, etc. and looking at the "back and forth" between the domains, that was wildly interesting to me. Reading this book definitely helped motivate me to get serious about committing more time / focus to studying mathematics.

I also enjoyed the "counterpoint" book by Sabine Hosenfelder, Lost in Math[2]. I think these two books complement each other nicely.

Then the handful of additional (no pun intended) books that jump to mind would be:

- How Mathematicians Think by William Byers[3]

- How to Think Like a Mathematician by Kevin Houston[4]

- Discrete Mathematics with Applications[5] by Susanna Epp

- How Not To Be Wrong[6] by Jordan Ellenberg

Yeah, it’s definitely a wip at this point, though it is already general enough to express meta and imports. You could write

today and write a simple filter to extract meta from the first definition list and resolve includes.

"Fake Meat Was Supposed to Save the World. It Became Just Another Fad
Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods wanted to upend the world’s $1 trillion meat industry. But plant-based meat is turning out to be a flop."

It is of course possible for any business to "flop", whether or not it makes good products.

A "$1 trillion meat industry" with influential interests is not going to transform (much less disappear) suddenly. Consumers of meat products, like people who seem to need bigger and bigger vehicles, are accustomed (conditioned) to viewing their needs a certain way.

The failure of a business that sought to deliver a product that would change the above is not a surprise. For sociological context, consider (as TFA states) that McDonalds is still selling its plant-based product in markets outside the US.

None of this changes the principles of vegetarianism or veganism. These practices have existed for a long time and for good reasons.

I guess that is true, it just makes it really hard to be hopeful that things are not going downhill in multiple ways due to exactly what you said happening.

My point more is here, given what happened I am not convinced that this is enough to put up enough controversy to make the government take the necessary action.
I would imagine that its not economically viable at scale. First, it might be too energy-intensive for the value of the end product, and second, the plastic you can get is still the plastic that you're able to separate from trash, which it might be better to just recycle it normally. These are just peanut-gallery guesses though, I don't know for sure.

The only type error I make a little bit more than I would like, is expecting an iterable and passing a string instead, because I forgot parentheses around arguments.

But I made way more type errors when programming in C/++.

Why do you prefer schema to (fast)jsonschema?
As a designer, this is 100% correct. I blame Apple and iOS for using toggles/switches instead of checkboxes. And I blame all the people out there who blindly follow whatever Apple does for continuing the trend.

As someone else in this thread mentioned, checkboxes are more of yes or no, and usually have a save button to confirm the setting. Whereas toggles are meant to be on or off with immediate effect.

It's so frustrating to have to spend so much time and energy arguing this. I've even worked at a place where an entire feature of yes/no settings to which the user must agree was named "toggles" because of all the toggles in that flow, even though they're supposed to be checkboxes.

The old adage of no one ever got fired for buying IBM could be replaced by no one ever got fired for copying Apple. It's hard pushing back against that kind of momentum
