I believe the 고추가루 was derived from a Portuguese chili plant which explains the timing. Why Japan didn’t go for more spiciness is not clear. Lots of Korean recipes seem to have parallels with Szechuan cooking methods and approaches (read: lots of bold, spicy flavors) but I’m not sure if it’s merely coincidence.
The Kroger app, at least, lets you specify whether or not substitutions are allowed. Granted, that doesn't solve the problem completely.

On the other hand, the physical store has often been out of certain items over the last couple of years, so I don't think the app is entirely to blame here..

Is it possible to have declared bankruptcy with no creditors? Can you just spend all of your own money down to zero? Would you still be banned due to losing only your own money?
Not sure I can call it an episode. It seems more likely the emperor is revealing himself to have no clothes.
Absolutely. I will give support to anyone chasing a dream, but I will shut this down so hard.

Stop, re-evaluate, and understand there is significant potential, but depending on where you are, there could be prison time, man.
Though so what?

You’re the one who claims to know what they’re talking about yet make zero effort to support your claims.

Honestly, I’ve never heard anyone claim taxi drivers were getting rich but can tell you they weren’t universally getting exploited like the pro-rideshare propaganda was telling you. Back before Uber/Lyft I could work less than half the time, have a roof over my head and food in my belly plus got to spend time doing things I enjoyed like shaving yaks. After, not so much, all the “excess income” got siphoned off and went nowhere because VC money was subsidizing the push to bankrupt the competition.

Only job in my life where I had my income cut (to keep the insurance contracts which were the only thing making us money) and I’m not exactly a young pup.

The Tidyverse is a true gem in modern programming that deals with data.

This release feels like a nice incremental improvement rather than a revolution. Adding lubridate as a core package will save me a few keystrokes. I also did not know about the conflicts package, but will certainly be using it in the future.

I'm a bit surprised that other "better" programming languages haven't done more to replicate the Tidyverse. The Tidyverse is a masterclass in metaprogramming, and has a pretty big following. While R has some warts as a language, I'm not sure I've seen anything comparable to Tidyverse in terms of scope and influence. I see Julia trying with the Dataframes ecosystem, but it's got a ways to go before that feels cohesive like Tidyverse.

If I could wave a magic wand, I'd get Hadley and the RStudio crew really excited about Julia or Racket. R does have warts, and I dream of the day when something better is as good.
It is not piracy to use software as licensed. It is dishonest to pretend it was never released under a foss license.
It’s for both reasons. If you have a separate refrigerator you might as well optimize it for the stuff you’re trying to store. Think wine refrigerators in the West.

Convert Dates in PHP
Now you can use the Dcter package for this purpose. This package is designed to convert Hijri date to Gregorian and Gregorian to Jalali and vice versa.

It currently consists of 6 methods to convert dates, namely, HijriToGregorian, GregorianToHijri, JulianToHijri, HijriToJulian, GregorianToJalali and JalaliToGregorian methods.

Since the package converts dates to YYYY-MM-DD format, you can use the its Carbonize method to make a carbon date object from the converted date.
This is why also claims of IQs above 180 or so are almost always BS, at least on normed tests. 6sd is about the maximum
Instead of learning how those Python modules work in a vacuum, you could pick a project that utilizes something from each of them. Pick a topic you're interested in and do a deep analysis of it using numpy, scipy, sklearn and pandas. Sprinkle a little matplotlib in there to plot the results.

For example you could scrape a bunch of data off of your favorite subreddit and do a network analysis of all the users. It'd touch on a lot of the packages you want to learn and you'd be learning them for a specific end result. You could even throw the data into Gource at the end for a cool visualization (not that it would be very instructive, but it's cool to watch).

Also it's only 3 months. Just my perspective but I think you'd get a lot more out of it by sticking to one language and learning it really well.
But...SSG is how pages traditionally worked. You have some files in a folder and use <a> to link between them, no dedicated router required. Routers are needed in SSR though, depending on your use case.

“You can book your cab or order your groceries through a simple chat … It has access to 70% of all human chat conversations in the last 10 years.”

I’m feeling like one of those guys in Japan who attacks the customer service robot in the department store—I loath the voice recognition systems behind phone systems for major business (banks, energy suppliers, telcos). I routinely mash #1 until I get to touch tone. I either want to pay a bill or I have a problem the automated system can’t solve—chat bots waste my time & I don’t like talking to friendly robots.

I guess some people are only using their phone and not a website first, in which case a chatbot lets you navigate a much wider set of options by phone. I get it.

Still hasn’t changed my feeling that my mobile phone bot is keeping me chatting just to further train their itself and waste my time. I’m Nexus 1, help me grow as a chatbot.
Would love to chat with you more about this — want to send me an email at jamesjoethomas at gmail?
Yeah maybe, but chaining a bunch of joins together when exploring some new data is a thing I do all the time. Then, 4-5 warnings push my results off the screen. It’s infuriating.
Digging into his post history to avoid refuting his point (which is overstated) is ... not appropriate? great?

I can pretty easily agree with a weaker version of his statement: regulations have a disproportionate impact on small entities. They're expensive to comply with, and small entities tend not to have access to the exotic legal tricks and arms-length interaction with regulations that can make them much less effective.

I encourage people to check out my SNAFU crate [1]. I urge users to create many distinct error types (usually enums but also structs) and compose them — so much so that I advocate that you never create each specific error in more than one source location. That means that the collection of error types produces a unique trace through your program, uniquely identifying the source of the error with no runtime cost (compare this to a runtime-collected stacktrace / backtrace).

Here's how the final example in the blog post would look like with a quick transform to SNAFU: https://gist.github.com/shepmaster/fb7f4c9519a074ea7186ca7b7.... If I spent more time, there'd probably be a bit more changes, but hopefully that gets the idea across.

> imagine how livable (or not) a planet would be if the planet's axis were even more extreme

For a SF take on the effects of living on a planet with very extreme days (and years) take a look at the Helliconia series by Brian Aldiss [0]. Helliconia is a planet in a double-star system whose 'year' lasts for about 2500 Earth-years, and the seasons last for centuries. When the primary star dips below a mountain range, you might not see it again for 100s of years. Civilisation rises and falls over these timescales, with winter inevitably causing a reset as farming and other activities crash.

They do, famously so for recognising cows as holy animals which make vegetarianism possible.
This is great context; it can be hard to appreciate radical art from the past which is important precisely because it changed art so dramatically that we now take it for granted.

But that’s not an excuse. They didn’t go far enough, and in the process aggrandized (and sometimes enriched) themselves more than they elevated the art they were supposedly freeing from the clutches of the Old Guard. Did Duchamp track down the anonymous artisan who designed his urinal and invite him to the cool artist parties where reputations spread? No? Well that just shows that the elitism these artists were rebelling against is alive and well, and that while they may have gained “low” art recognition, they did much less for “low” artists. And that’s the point of the article.
I would need more time for an analysis,

but the standard idea would be to make the path-to-solution explicit, verifiable ("also tell us how you got to that"). In other terms, "avoid the black box". Maybe have the generated SQL query output... But this will not impede abuse from lazy users, and errors "may have consequences".

Databases (just think of the testing infrastructure for SQLite) are made to be fully reliable; if the interface were not so, you would have broken the model.
Two wild thoughts:

Could a technique evolve someday where you don't even need the mirror but just the sensor and the collected data is then processed as if it was focused by a mirror?

I have watched this talk back then when it came out, and I just rewatched the parts you linked. Nowhere in this talk he said that he isn't into generics. He said that he is not yet satisfied with design drafts (that existed at that time), and that he would like to bring in experts. Which he did, when he asked Phil Wadler to join, which led to the current design. The talk is actually proof that he was and is open to generics.
"If we can implement these and learn about it a lot of what becomes important will clarify and something will come out of it, maybe something wonderful."

Slightly off topic but your reference to being accentless reminds me of a time as a 14 year old visiting my American cousins for Ireland.

My slightly younger cousin’s friend found the way I pronounced things as well as some of my vocabulary to be very funny. When I pointed out that he also had an accent he almost almost wet himself with laughter, so absurd was the idea to him that both of us had accents rather than the one of us who didn’t sound American.
Remember that a lot of data is not actually normally distributed, even though it looks so at first. The horror of "risk management" units of financial institutions, when they get a "7-sigma" event twice in a month.

Can you imagine there was a time when the entire US options market was running on flat volatility vs strike price (implying that financial asset prices are lognormal). Must have been cool to just buy the cheapest, most OTM options and collect big results every now and then.

There are different types of audit.

I expect that EY does not have access to numbers and any account information. You give away as least information as you can because you cannot just trust auditing team from some 3rd party not to use that data in collusion with your competitors.

What I expect they do have access to is documentation for procedures and processes. They audit for example if all procedures are written down and check proofs for procedures that were done by employees.

So it is like you have to clean the toilet and you have procedure that whoever cleans the toilet signs list. Every end of the shift manager checks the list and checks toilet if it is clean.

Fun part is having signed list for a day does not tell you that for half of the shift employee was only signing the list but did not do any cleaning and you might have dozens of customers seeing how terrible dirty toilet was.
That’s moving the goalpost pretty far, don’t you think?

MESI cache coherency (and its derivatives) [1] means that you can have exclusive writes to cache if and only if no other core tries to access that data. I would think most if not all microarchitectures have moved to MESI (or equivalent) cache coherency protocols as they avoid unnecessary writes to memory.

The whole collection of blogs is incredible. I am utterly stunned by and in awe of the facilities that have been built down there.

Given the excruciatingly harsh conditions of the environment, I cannot imagine what the construction process must have been like. Looking at a lot of the pictures conjures a feeling for me like it all must have been built by some advanced alien civilization and left behind for us to occupy. The construction crews who created all that stuff should be celebrated as heroes as far as I’m concerned. Very impressive.
Osmo and Rubio Monocoat have really made finishing wood easy for amateurs (as well as professionals).
True for edge pricing which is why I don't use Vercel paid generally speaking. I run any larger apps on Hetzner in a VPS with NextJS running in a Docker container, which should perform identically last I asked the Vercel team. For your numbers it would likely be much cheaper, with the only downside being that you're in one geographic location, but I guess you could use multiple VPS in various locations.
Great writeup.

To me so far, the GPT hype seems like a large scale version of Asch experiment. I have ChatGPT (and some of its alternatives) multiple times, and everything it has outputted to me was subtly broken, even on simple request (ie. make a search bar component in react). Yet, everyone on HN claims it has led them to 10000x improvements in productivity
I think it might be fair to point out that particulate emissions from vehicle exhaust is likely low because of the regulation, not that they were regulating the wrong thing.

On an unrelated note, how did they come up with these numbers for percentage contribution? It seems quite difficult to attribute cause outside of a controlled laboratory setting.

And traditionally it was limited so different expectations. If you needed more you'd use PHP or something else. Problem here as other commenters have mentioned is how the line between SSR, SSG and others have been blurred.

Where I am in the west coast US, most Korean restaurants that I have been in serve sushi. Seems to be quite a bit of crossover between Japanese and Korean cuisine.
I don't know much about rust, so it seemed odd to me that just forbidding unsafe would make for a reasonable sandbox. At least for the postgres concept of "trusted language", that's supposed to mean things like closing off access to the filesystem. Not just typical file io calls either, but more obscure stuff like sendfile().

I do see that rust access to sendfile() would be via a syscall, which is in the unsafe category...so perhaps that's not the best example.

But it does make me curious how comprehensive a sandbox PL/Rust is providing, beyond just forbidding unsafe.

Twitter pre-Elon was a stauncher supporter of free speech than Twitter post-Elon, especially with regards to resisting interference from governments. Elon's actual beef was over Twitter's moderation decisions, and free speech is a fundamentally incoherent basis for moderation, especially given that free speech laws of different countries are incompatible.

The moderation foibles of Elon Musk's Twitter were entirely predictable (and predicted!) before the takeover, and it's very clear that Elon is in the (very large) group of people who believe that only speech they agree with deserves protection.

I see your confusion. The thing is that “trigonometric proof” is not a well-defined mathematical object (even in this HN thread, you can see a lot of discussion about whether the trigonometry is really essential to the proof, ways to remove it, etc). So the “establishment” idea that “There are no trigonometric proofs” (Loomis, 1927) is not a mathematical conjecture, which can be demolished by the first counterexample (the first “trigonometric proof”), but a meta-mathematical statement or social convention, where minds change slowly. Note how he says “this point of view has been increasingly questioned in recent decades”: this is typical of the evolution of social consensus rather than of mathematical conjectures (which would quickly switch from false to true or vice-versa as soon as a proof or counterexample is found).

The first few trigonometric proofs, being very complicated, might have just had a reaction (among the very few people who even care about this question) like “yeah ok, whatever, that's just too contrived, not very interested”, but when a proof like this comes along, being more beautiful and simpler, more people will change their minds — but even now it's not guaranteed, which is why the author says “might make a few established mathematicians eat their words”.

Ultimately, all proofs are just pushing around of axioms and implications; there's no clear separation of whether a proof is “different” from another or whether it's “trigonometric”, but in this case the authors say their proof “is based on a fundamental result in trigonometry—the Law of Sines” and it seems pretty easy to believe that that is how they came up with the proof (so it seems fair to call it a trigonometric proof even if that can be got rid of).

[PS: I just found that some scans of Loomis's book are online: https://personal.math.ubc.ca/~cass/Euclid/java/html/L.pdf (1927), https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED037335.pdf / https://www.lapasserelle.com/documents/Pythagorean_Propositi... (1940 second edition) — see the foreword where he says “Fifth, that no trigonometric proof is possible”, elaborated on p. 193(1e)/244(2e) in section called “No trigonometric proofs”.]
So there is that one type of ideas, the obvious ones, that comes with massive competition very quickly. All Im saying is that I believe this is one of those.

It's not impossible for you to succeed, you just got to have the right strategy, which is, hit hard extremely fast. Using VCs money and strategical hiring.

This is terrible advice and you or actually your Estonian company will be fined for tax fraud.

In Germany income is taxed where it is generated, which includes the head of the person running the business. So if you run your foreign company from Germany - which is expect to be the case if you have no physical permanent office in Estonia, where you also have to be regularly present - you home is considered to be an business location and thus you are taxed accordingly.

Note that this only applies to limited liability companies.

If you are a single person with no need for limited liability, just register an individual business (Einzelunternehmen) with your local authority (Gewerbeamt). It’s really easy, cheap and if you need support, tax consulting for individual business is rather cheap as well and worth it if your business generates regular income. Otherwise you can just talk to the authorities, because income from passion projects (i.e. non-regular, without the goal of generating a substantial income amount) is not taxed at all.
Also if it’s once in 300 million to happen every day, it could happen to someone every day in the USA (assuming it’s something people do daily).

If the outfall from a 7-sigma is disastrous, you have to try to prevent it, because it WILL happen eventually given enough goes.
