Millennial here. By grade 6 (11-12 yrs. old) everyone I can remember walked to and from school. Often with groups of friends. In the evenings my friends and I were free to do whatever we liked unsupervised as long as we were home by sun down. Typically we’d never venture out more than maybe a 15 minute walk from home though.

Really, if you want to insist that this was what you were saying the entire time, either start with it or acknowledge that you failed to start with it. Indeed, miscommunications happen. Consider that you come across as unwilling to believe your part in this happening.

Likewise, I hope you can see how you erred so that you may do better in the future.
An upgrade to HyperCard was SuperCard, which supported color and a whole bunch more. I wrote a printed circuit design program in SuperCard, which generated Gerbers for double sided boards, no soldermask or silkscreen. I wish I still had it, source code and all of my designs are long gone. That was maybe around 1995 IIRC.

I used the GUI layout tool to draw the board using basic shapes, which a script would then interpret and convert into Gerbers. My boards were typically around 2 x 2 inches, sparsely populated with through hole parts. I have a hunch that I lucked out with a board supplier who could interpret my files.

I'm pleased to see that SuperCard still exists!

I find this a deeply confusing comment. You're strawmanning rather than steelmanning (also helpful concepts), because I think a much more reasonable interpretation of what I'm saying is just that I'm reading the two differently enough that I can differentiate them.
Ask HN: Recommendations for New Router
Hello, looking for recommendations for a new router that can satisfy following needs.

1. Future proof
2. Multi level home ( around 3000 sq ft )
3. Can support many many devices ( have a ton of stuff due to all the smart home stuff ) i have a bridge but still
4 Both wife and I work from home and could be on zoom at once, along with more 4K videos being streamed on other devices.
5. We have Verizon fios gigabit connection.
6. We have a lot of content on an external drive and would prefer to have that be available as network drive.

Can provide more details if necessary.

"Unsaid"? I have the opposite perspective: This is repeated ad nauseam. Every time a binary format or any other complex optimization is mentioned, the performance-doesn't-matter people have to come out of the woodwork and bring up the fact that it "literally doesn't matter" to "$INVENTED_HIGH_PERCENTAGE of use cases".

I wonder, do people on the Caterpillar forum have this problem, where people just show up to ask, "Yeah but can you take it on the freeway? Because I can take my Tacoma on the freeway."

I think not. It seems like Yahoo! Pipes. It's cool but I don't see most devs using it. And FWIW Scratch is way cooler.

I don't understand why that would be the case. With a long-term rate staying stable, either a couple is going to break up, or they're not. Pushing forward the breakups would not alter the long-term rate, just as pushing backward the breakups (as long as they're still within the window observed by the study) doesn't lower the long-term rate.

IMO Vyvanse is better than Adderall except for being more expensive.

I was on Adderall XR 20mg for 10 years and then switched to Vyvanse 50mg. For me, Vyvanse lasts longer, doesn't have as much of a narcotic peak, and feels like it's more consistently strong for the whole curve.

Just putting it out there because some people have suggested that it was an inferior alternative (and it may be for some people). Some people definitely prefer Vyvanse.

As usual, start with half a pill on these kinds of drugs. Mix it into water so you can easily drink 50% of it one day, 75% of it another day depending on how you feel.

I would love to see a simulation of the forces involved here because I just can't see it adding up. A 60m tall sail introduces some really significant torque which may well be handled by the double container but how does that force get transferred from the sail to the container?

The design requires a lot of moving parts and the reliability of the system appears to be safety critical. If the sail can't be reefed in high winds then it risks serious damage to the ship. And if it can't be reefed when entering port then you can't dock the ship. Until the technology has been proven to be extremely reliable I can't see any operator risking installing it.

In my humble opinion, this fails the deductive reasoning test, and therefore the analysis is missing key explanatory factors (some of which the authors seem to allude to).

Of course checkups carry the risk of false positives. And I have trouble believing that: early detection/intervention isn’t going to lead to better health outcomes, regular screenings won’t lead to early detection, and that adherence to a treatment regime (e.g. high cholesterol = improve diet, increase exercise, maybe take medication) won’t improve outcomes.
How I dealt with it was by first converting to HTML using PDF Box. Extracting text from there is then pretty simple.
One issue with this is that dolphins don't have a consistent "language". There are at the very least different dialects in different parts of the ocean. So one issue is ensuring your model is using sounds from a group of dolphins speaking the same "language" - otherwise you're at risk of trying to "translate human" by feeding a mix of English and Chinese.

> If parrots can talk, why can’t monkeys?

> Parrots are able to mimic human speech because they have a specialized vocal organ, called a syrinx, that allows them to control the sounds they produce. This ability is not shared by all birds, but it is particularly well developed in parrots.

Monkeys, on the other hand, do not have the same type of vocal organ as birds, and so they are not able to produce the same range of sounds. While monkeys do communicate with each other using a variety of vocalizations, these sounds are not as complex or as adaptable as human speech.

Additionally, language is not just about making sounds, it is also about understanding and using complex grammatical rules and abstract concepts. While some primates have demonstrated a degree of language comprehension and production in scientific studies, their abilities are still far from the complexity and flexibility of human language.

> What do you think diplomats do?

Well, large parts of our diplomatic corps tend to foment and finance coup's around the world. We're pretty smart about it though, first we bring in the NGO's like The National Endowment for Democracy (and many others) which act as an outsourced part of our CIA, then we apply pressure from within. Our playbook is pretty well known by now.

Or wait, how many coups do you think the US has actually been involved in since WWII?

Then again, the fact that you claim the US uses no coercion means you're probably trolling and I fell for it, so well played.
The issue is that depending on the situation, and on the patient in question, the intervention will shift from decision, to persuasion to mandatory.

For example, if you have a positive test for cancer, they will persuade you to follow it up. They will apply very emotionally manipulative techniques.

Another example, if the patient does not have the ability to decide for themselves, the doctor's opinion will hold a very heavy weight and can lead into a legal issue.

If you believe that science and medicine in 2023 is offering complete understanding and solutions to all or even many problems, then you will naturally feel like these two examples should be handled that way. However, the daily "revelations" of "new medical research" which contradict past results and understandings should be enough to cause doubt in that high level of confidence.

“Parquet has both a date type and the datetime type (both sensibly recorded as integers in UTC).”

What does it mean for a date to be utc? my date, but in the utc timezone? Usually when I write a date to a file, I want a naive date; since that’s the domain of the data. 2020-12-12 sales: $500. But splitting that by some other timezone seems to be introducing a mistake.

Often I want to think in local naive time too, especially for things like appointments that might change depending on dst or whatever. Converting to utc involves some scary things. Timestamps are also useful but I don’t want to transcode my data sometimes as the natural format is the most correct.
Sorta? In that I can think of several ways to make that work.

That said, if you are using parquet, I think it is safe to assume large data sets. Large structured data sets, specifically. As such, getting a one liner that can hit them with a script is doable, but you probably won't see it done much due to utility.

It’s an “operation” in the mathematics sense, but it’s not an operation in the imperative sense. It doesn’t do anything (ie it doesn’t have an effect), it is part of the description.

Let’s step back from “if” or “filter”. Suppose you have a basic primitive definition “book”. If you’re to define a taxonomy of types of books, you might start with “fiction” (or “non-fiction”, but this terminology kinda gives away where I’m heading). Okay, so a definition of a book which is fiction might be:

fiction-book:
book &
factual-constraints: none

So far we have entirely static definitions (at least within a universe that book-like things need no distinction). We don’t even have to define what could be assigned to factual-constraints.

What happens when we try to define non-fiction? We have to define factual constraints it might have.

non-fiction-book:
book &
factual-constraints: all

There are some implied conditions here, and we could just stop there. If you have a book and want to know whether it is non-fiction, you must evaluate its non-presence in sets that don’t conform to full veracity (let’s be generous here and pretend non-fiction is honest, and omniscient).

But let’s go further, and define so-called “hard science fiction” books (ie there are aspects which might be imaginary but only if the imaginary aspects are conceivable without disputing known facts, I know this is imperfect but I think it’s good enough for the purpose of this discussion):

hard-scifi-book:
book &
factual-constraints:
all - known-impossible

Uh oh, that’s an operation! Have we started imperatively defining types of books? Nope. We’ve declared how they’re defined, without specifying their inputs, and without affecting them. To the extent the definition itself is correct (exceptions already acknowledged), the definition will always be correct because it’s a tautology.

But you can’t have the definition without those conditions, because a definition is a tautology. And that is the tautological definition of a definition.

What would make it imperative is if:

- the thing itself might change, and so the determination of its definition might change along with it

- the determination of its definition might change, and so its previous definition might have been invalidated

If neither of those things are true, all of the conditions expressed in definition are declarative.

There are a number of interesting videos on social media sites ostensibly demonstrating dogs and birds using buttons and tablets to generate reasonably coherent communication like might be expected out of a two year old. Some of these have some backing scientific literature that provide some validation of the claims. If true it would indicate they have quite advanced mental faculties and are basically entirely limited by the lack of a appropriate vocal system for generating human speech.

> It seems a populist appeal to the idea that the medical institution has no idea what it is doing.

Isn’t at least the section about false positives an indication that doctors know what they’re doing, and know what they cannot do?

Because it’s not a scientific article? The article mentions the arguments and has links to a paper in the BMJ (paywalled, unfortunately)
