I had an interesting experience as a child. I grew up in Barbados, where circumcision is not a common practice. In Biology class on day, the teacher talked about the practice, and basically everyone in the class went “Eww”. I moved to the US the next year, and when the same topic came up in Biology, the teacher mentioned that in other countries, most men are uncircumcised. And the class went “Eww”.
That's basically musl, and yes, that is the better idea.

Nice! I've been using and recommending JupyterLab Desktop to newcomers since the first release, and things work great out of the box. To give you an example, we held an "Intro to Python" tutorial with absolute beginners, and everyone was able to get their Python coding environment setup in 5 minutes instead of 1 hours (as is usual otherwise when beginners have to do command line stuff).

I think one of the biggest reasons why the R community is so strong is because of how easy it is to install RStudio and get started doing stats with a GUI program, and I see JupyterLab Desktop filling the same niche, for stats and for learning to code in Python more generally.

The pip-install business was always the weakest link in the Python beginner's journey, but now things are going to be be much smoother.
Humans Didn’t Invent Mathematics, It’s What the World Is Made of (2021)

It could be more frequently diagnosed, but also under-diagnosed at the same time. More diagnosis are due to more awareness, but there isn't data to prove it's been overly diagnosed in people who don't have it.

However yes, this is an issue though AFAIK that is more of an ld issue than a glibc issue - you'd have the same problems with other libraries too.

From the post i replied, i understood that problem as a users' problem for running existing binaries (most binaries are using some older version to avoid that issue and in general people who use Linux tend to have the latest version of stuff due to how non-intrusive updates are), which shouldn't be a problem. It can be a bit of a PITA from the developer side though.

> is this just usual Russian incompetence?

I don't think there is an impression of that or really ever has been. Russia has successfully launched humans into space more regularly and at a lower cost than the US for the last 60 years. (Well until the last few years)

I think it's more likely that this is just an occurrence of something akin to the birthday paradox and sometimes things just happen. It's the narrative due to the current (horrendous) political direction of Russian foreign policy that then colours the interpretation of these events.

Edit: Your comment has been downvoted significantly and was briefly "dead" I think unfairly, and while I disagree with part of it and don't believe the sabotage hypothesis, you are asking the questions that most people will be asking. The reply's are a worthwhile discussion in my view, and so I vouched for it.
Hopefully these types of interventions will happen sooner rather than in the far future. Levin's methods use tools that are almost 'conventional' now in biotech and neuroscience. If they will work for organ regeneration etc, then it should be a matter of engineering to put them to use.
It's funny that you mentioned Neal Stephenson because when I read "vacuum balloons" I thought about the Luk (onion) space suites from Seveneves.
"Creative misuse" refers to intended use. TLA+ isn't "meant" for these things, it just happens to be good for some (and kinda-okay for others). But that's the beauty of tools: it doesn't matter what they were designed to do, you can use them for whatever you need them to do.

It's harder to find creative misuses for programming languages because they're "intended" be general purpose. They're more like a material than a tool.
Let’s discuss intent.

(I have contributed OSS in a minor way via a few original projects. I don’t run a business. I don’t have a dog in this fight. But imo ..)

If you start an OSS project, get contributions, then the thing becomes a hit, and then when money comes knocking on the door — investors want returns as it happens — and you then suddenly realize that you wanted a business after all. Then you will run into then “no good license” issue if you still want the help of free OSS patches, workers, and OSS monicker but need to protect business interests.

One the other hand, you can start with intent of making a business from your OSS project, and give non-transferable non-commercial license grants (of a foundational subset e.g. a single node graph db) to whoever wants to see or help you with the code. This scenario is (ianal) supported by existing commercial licenses. However this -may- limit the free flow of code and love and care by non-stakeholders of your commercial endeavor. I am not sure if anyone has ever tried this.
I was going to say this. Tailwind always appeared to be as an alternate way of writing inline styles. I focus mostly on the back end and CSS is always a source of frustration when dabbling in front end, so perhaps I am not the right target anyway.

If it "has no appeal to students, doesn’t interest them, doesn’t challenge them, doesn’t make them want to learn, they’ll find ways out," just as he himself did when he borrowed a friend’s notes to pass a dull college chemistry class without attending it back in 1945.
Of course here come the articles undermining the intelligence community, right in the wake of the Chinese balloon incursions and continued Chinese/Russian foreign intelligence efforts, and at its core are republicans. As usual these articles pertaining to the IC massively misunderstand, misrepresent, and downright act against the interests of the United States by so feverently spurring on the de-fanging of intelligence capabilities.

I'm not sure why there's such outrage at the suggestion. The point is that doing something enjoyable, exciting or joyful when taking these drugs is very effective.

Maybe raves for a 65 year old is not appropriate, but it can be anything really: being out in nature, being with old friends, going to a concert, etc.

Personally I wouldn't take any psychedelic in a doctor's office. That to me would be awful.

Doctors (and other "normal people") are very conservative about drugs, mostly due to a history of toxic and racist politics and law around their use (except those that "normal people" deem acceptable such as alcohol and nicotine). I'd argue personal experimentation can be more useful to many individuals than strict clinical usage.

Other animals don't eat nearly as much sugary food, or food of a sort that tends to get stuck in your mouth (non-processed food like corn on the cob can do so, but even that's a product of domestication and not so widely eaten by other animals - our dog loves it, but canine teeth are spaced further apart and shaped in such a way it's less likely for bits to get lodged between them. Also I gather dogs at least have much more powerful anti-bacterial agents in their saliva.)
That was my exact same feeling after reading the example…

I mean, you aren't wrong. They also eat a lot of really hard to chew things that scrape at their teeth and gums. And, I'm sure, breeding selected for pets that don't have massive teeth problems.

That is, I get it, very complex topic. You can see other similar "patterns" that are of little help in the animal kingdom. See a "fat" animal, and it is almost certainly one that doesn't eat meat as a primary nutrient source. Similarly, lean animals are typically predators. Would be a fallacy to think you have to be a meat eater to be lean, though.

The topic that has been intriguing to me lately, is the link between mouth breathing and poor oral health. So many topics that we don't know nearly as much about as we want individually. Much less all mixed up together.
Linus seems a nice guy, but with 20 or more employees, and a channel that needs to review products first, works with embargoes organized by the vendors. As any YouTube business, competes for views. A really bad (honest?) review won't get him more samples. So the incentives are on the wrong place.

I don't get why you're trying to be snarky and also obviously wrong. College isn't the only place to learn things. There's K-12, independent learning, and on the job learning, etc.

I define "evidence" in the usual way which excludes baseless speculation. As easily as you can imagine some fact that one might learn in college would be useful to a childcare worker, I can imagine that it would not be or that it would be learned elsewhere.
Ask HN: Ergonomic Keyboard for Small Hands
Are there any ergonomic keyboards for smaller hands?

There's no shortage of ergonomic keyboard recommendations from Hacker News or elsewhere on the internet. Those hardware are usually build for folks with larger hands (such as men).

I am a woman with smaller hands. My handspan from the tips of my thumb to the pinky is about 19cm. Most ergonomic keyboards are large: I could not just rest my hands and tap all keys without reaching. I've tried Microsoft's ergonomic keyboard and keyboards (<75%) ortholinear layout. From the off-the-shelf solutions, ortholinear layout works the best so far. Microsoft ergonomic keyboard is huge and I dislike it.

Someone told me to stay away from ergodox and kinesis especially for smaller-than-average hands.

Hi smca - this helps, I was under the impression that Stripe is refunded the fees in scenarios where disputes are won. That seems to have been a misundertanding.

Having said that - I think there was a lot of room for nuance in this rollout, which kinda got shoved up into a one-size-fits-all policy.

I'll give my own business as a reference - I have a 100% chargeback "win" rate; including in cases where Stripe estimated low win success odds. Chargebacks have (so far) come exclusively from bad faith actors.

With this latest iteration - fledgling businesses like mine are massively exposed to competitors making bad-faith bookings and issuing chargebacks against us; which even if we were to successfully defend - would entirely bankrupt us.

Has Stripe explored a mitigation of a scenario such as this?

Following through on the same line of thought - has Stripe considered a more balanced approach where if merchants have a success rate of more than a certain threshold (which by all means can be high) - then they are more "protected" on chargebacks they win? It could be a much better balance in filtering out good vs bad actors on the merchant side.

Potentially also something to pitch to card networks - they will certainly not listen to individual merchants, but if I had to guess - they wouldn't ignore this sort of pitch from Stripe?

And if you were to do so - you would be building loyalty from your "good merchants" by providing a value offering beyond the market; the ones whom are less likely to encounter chargebacks to begin with (and win those they do encounter); since you'll then have a value prop ahead/better than the market. Which just seems like a sound long-game bet.

One person's thoughts etc etc - but the current version of the chargeback fee rollout - while well rationalized, also feels heavy handed and not with the usual finesse/nuance with which I've seen Stripe's usual policy modifications. Thought I'd throw my 2c into the mix.
You’re right. We should cancel all math classes immediately. We’re way past due since we should have done it with calculators.
They are trying to suggest ADHD isn't really a thing and the usual "everyone has a little ADHD in them". So stupid. The lack of awareness that other people can have different experiences is just annoying.

Stack Overflow maybe (but I expect most experienced developers to use it like they would use good documentation if it was available: to see how something is intended to be used, or to troubleshoot errors), but IDEs and intellisense don't really help you with "avoiding learning". They take out a lot of the typing and make things easier that are easy to think but require focus and accuracy to execute, e.g. renaming a class and updating all the places where it's used.

You're not really learning anything by doing that manually (besides trying to avoid all refactoring that include renaming things in the future), it's more like using a fixed-blade paper cutter to accurately cut stacks of paper vs using scissors on each sheet individually.
Using civilian oversight of police as a metaphor, the high-profile civilian killings lately have come from police departments with civilian oversight. Less than 1% have it, which means an even smaller fraction have civilian discipline.

I also agree with other critical hot takes, like Ted Chiang's analogy "ChatGPT is jpeg style compression for text". A less accusatory framing than Chomsky's plagiarism thesis, more or less.

I'm still chewing on the learning angle. Did adoption of calculators lead to less learning of arithmetic. Certainly. Was that a bad thing? I honestly don't know.
Tooks some digging, but [here it is](https://www.reddit.com/r/Julia/comments/n2mje4/comment/gwmt1...). I was talking about invoking Julia from the shell as a script. Because loading packages takes time, I found that my script was significantly faster in Python than Julia.

I never did get around to trying the daemon mode thing someone suggested. Someday I'll have a reason to do this again and try it.
What?

I mean yes, you talk about some good things. Legislators should be more accountable. I'm already on record as advocating not only for the existing financial transparency at the federal level, but that elected officials should have every financial transaction be part of a public record while they're in office and for years after. Because sunlight is the best disinfectant.

For the same reason, people taking money from the public should be on public record. This is hardly novel. When I had a PO box years ago, the USPS would doggedly protect the privacy of box-holders. But if you were doing business with the public using the box, you didn't get the same protections, because they didn't want people using PO boxes to scam the public and then vanish.

I think forum anti-doxing etiquette is perfectly fine for the contexts in which it originated. But when we enter the public sphere of money and power, I think transparency is an important check on all sorts of malfeasance.
You learn a lot from ChatGPT though. If you want to know the ordinary answer to some essay question, cgpt will give you that. If you leave it at that and hand it in, maybe Chomsky is right.

But it's also a essay writing productivity tool. You sketch out what you want mentioned and cgpt will fill in the gaps, like those apprentices that helped the renaissance masters. I keep coming back to the phrase "small intentions" when I discuss cgpt: both in essays and code, it is already quite good at filling in details.

With less time spent on details, students can spend more time on the architecture. Ultimately, we'll have more people able to practice higher level creativity. This is already a thing that you do in math class; after your primary school years, you get a calculator to work out the arithmetic.

"Good for them" in this context is a sarcastic remark like, "I am glad they believe that but you know that believe is rather odd". Hard for me to explain.

The whole point of a warranty is to save me from needing to do those things.

Nearly everything inside is either non-upgradeable, pointless to upgrade, or doesn't void other manufacturers warranties (lenovo does not void warranty for replacing ssd) so that's completely meaningless.

> Your use of terms like “conspiracy theory” make it seem like you’ve come to some very strong opinions about this specific debate.

Holocaust denial is a long lived conspiracy theory. There is no way of getting around that fact.

There is no escalation. There's at best a blatant attempt to throw accusations in a way that prevents those attacked of defending themselves, and at worst there is libel.

Let's look at the facts: the wikipedia article on the Holocaust is clear in pointing out that the 6 million figure was actually provided by the leading Nazi official responsible for the Holocaust. The same wikipedia article then says in no unclear terms that "Historians estimates range from 4,204,000 to 7,000,000." What exactly is questionable about these facts? Nothing.
> their members and employee can be incarcerated,

Next time I commit a crime, I'll see if the prosecutors will settle for incarcerating some of my gut fauna.
It really depends. Ability to focus on things you find very interesting in the moment is a presentation that some people exhibit. That might still be an issue even for those things because you can still have high impulsivity, or be very irregular in your interest, or have issues with motivation and executive dysfunction that are separate from that, and of course ADHD affects more than just your work (that's actually a diagnostic criteria).

That the motivational effects of stimulants wear off is not well supported by the evidence. It will definitely feel like they do to you, but your baseline state after the first few weeks is very likely to still be much better than it was before treatment, despite subjectively feeling identical or worse. Of course, it's well established that stimulant medication isn't the only effective thing - controlling distraction is certainly very effective too.
