It's all in the title, I've got this presentation to do for my kids school. I don't have lots of time to prepare, I wanted to maybe just explain to them that programming is how you talk to computers and phone, and do a small demo of me changing the font, color and stuff like that of youtube or netflix

As a parent myself, I'd like to say that it's not that easy. There are measures you can take, but it doesn't always work.

The web is maybe easy to control, but what about all the other means of communication kids have now, like in-game social tools? In the end that comes down to do you ban everything that could cause an issue, and then you are isolating your child from their friends.

Even if that issue is solved, I've heard stories of kids 'forcing' other kids to watch porn on phones at school. How do you prevent that one? Most often the other parents are unaware, don't care, or even provide the porn.
Aligning database theory and a modern RDBMS, you get:

1. Attribute => Column

2. Tuple => Row

3. Relation => Table

That's what he's talking about. I'm sure a debate about nomenclature will ensue.

For my part, this is not of any significance. I will store a tuple of data representing a user in a `users` table. If I'd stored it in a `user` table, then that wouldn't make my life hard either, but I'd prefer the plural to represent the fact that it's the name of a relation which has multiple tuples (each of which represents data for a singular user).

Ask HN: Paychecks from a failed startup?
Hey - I was recently laid off from an early stage start up (Pre-Series A) and haven't received my last two paychecks. Do I have any legal avenues to recoup these missed payments?

I've opened a case with the state DOL office but I'm worried the company will fold / file for bankruptcy. Does anyone have a similar experience? Any luck getting missed paychecks? Should I attempt to sue the founder?

Unless you're never going to ever, ever, touch the database without using an ORM, don't use table names that need to be double quoted.
I chose these points specifically because I felt I could back them up with sources if pressed.

I began with personal opinion and then removed everything I felt wouldn't stand to scrutiny, even if I do still believe it.

I chose not to include sources immediately because that would have required a great deal of upfront effort on my behalf, which I wasn't willing to spend since this is also a place where I come to find relaxation as well as intellectual stimulation.

If there are any particular points you're interested in discussing I'll be glad to share the basis for my belief and go into discussion.

If it's all of them then that still goes but it may be a week before I get back to you.

After the 1st JIT-compilation (which here we treat as C++ static compilation), there is no compilation cost. As long as you avoid doing dynamic things (e.g. GC), there's a great case to be made for real time Julia.
End the Fed people seem to think a catchy bumper sticker is an argument. Why was the Fed established in the first place? Because people were sick of bank runs and periodic financial panics.

Do incumbents in such a system leverage their status, leading to new kinds of abuses? Arguably yes. That said, SVB was a member bank of the Federal Reserve and it didn't help their shareholders when the market decided that they were over-exposed.

Looking at your assertion from the opposite direction, if you don't trust the Federal Reserve, why would you trust a smaller bank to do a better job? Sure, it's in their long-term interest to self-regulate and operate prudently, but history is full of people acting irrationally because of greed, myopia, confirmation bias etc. The fed at least exhibits moderate transparency of structure and operation - risk is distributed across a set of reserve banks, and the membership and balance sheets of the regional reserve banks are open to scrutiny.

I think money market accounts don’t sell off old, but rather they hold short dated stuff to maturity. And constantly reset the rate they pay holders.

Of course, they can have counterparty risks. The counterparty is usually unprepared to actually pay up and expects to rollover its debt.

The Great Moose Migration: 23/4 – 3/5 2023 10:00 CEST
I am most interested in working at late stage startups (think "5 minutes from going public"), public companies, or startups that can compete in liquid compensation with public companies.

Location: SF Bay Area.

Remote: Yes, preferred.

Willing to relocate: Unlikely.

Technologies: Python, Django, Pyramid, Flask, Postgres, MySQL, Docker, AWS, and a few other web technologies. I'm very willing to branch out and work with others, such as Ruby, Node.js, Golang and others, so don't consider this an exhaustive list.

Ecto gets this righter in my opinion. You always manually specify in your schema module. It's a trivial amount of work and in return you never have to worry about incorrect magic.

defmodule User do
use Ecto.Schema

schema "users" do # table name
field :name, :string
field :age, :integer, default: 0
field :password, :string, redact: true
has_many :posts, Post
end
end

You'd usually generate a schema and matching migration with `mix phx.gen.schema Accounts.User users name:string ...`
> there are edge cases that deserve sympathy but they don't represent the bulk of scenarios.

You say this, but you also say, "Most of that 70% has enough control of these factors to reap their benefits"

70% and "most of 70%" are still either a majority or at the very least a plurality; so, I have to strongly disagree that they don't represent the bulk of the scenarios.

Is your argument that most people are lazy and should suck it up and get over it and fix themselves?
At least its a small step for mankind...
Julia is already being used in a number of systems with varying levels of real-time-ness. It's early days for sure, but there's a bunch of progress. It turns out lots of "real time" applications actually just need fast code. JIT compile also can be overcome since in real time systems, you generally know all the code you are going to call so you can just make a .so with all of those bits compiled and know that nothing will need to be compiled at runtime.

Also on a related topic, the PR for parallel GC in Julia just merged 4 days ago (https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/48600), so GC is in the process of getting a bunch faster.
I don't know a medical term, other than that it is in the area of Mania [0]. For me it was luckily a one time adventure induced by the circumstances. In hindsight I consider it positively, as an enriching experience. When reading the wikipedia page, I avoided some of the more severe afflictions. There are risk factors to avoid. Good sleep most important among them. After such episode the brain is completely drained and needs time to 'recharge'. Having multiple episodes in a row usually leads to a bipolar disorder with true depression following the manic episodes, I was told.

There seems to be a better understanding that CBD is favorable and a growing understanding of the other cannibinoids. I wouldn't be surprised if the greatest risk for bad selective over-breeding for THC content would have more been during the illegal periods with less legal science available and a lot more concentration of breeding among fewer breeders with unbalanced incentives of an illegal market.

A legal market is, in theory at least, going to have much more opportunities to do science out in the open, more opportunities to track breeding experiments and not just over-select one direction or another, more available research not just on the one notable desirable ingredient, but the larger ecology of them.

Muslims have been very successfull in prohibiton of all kinds of drugs and alcohol since 15 centuries.

There are clearly more factors at play than what the law says. What do you believe will happen if you drink alcohol in secret, out of range of the eyes of the State? Muslims believe this will still have consequences in afterlife. Atheists don't. Many Christians believe they'll be saved and forgiven by God as long as they are Christian.

GeoIP tells you at best what city someone is in, and even then, for smaller towns, will usually report the nearest large city, which could be quite a ways a way. Not to mention it's often even just flat-out wrong. VPNs and other things distort where you are. Sometimes a website might need (or at least think it needs) correct, fine-grained location information.

I do suspect that most websites that ask for location information could do fine with GeoIP, but that doesn't mean there isn't any use for more reliable, fine-grained location data.
The stock market is bipolar daily. Who cares?

This affects all banks, as it changes the financial environment. Well-run banks will manage it well. Badly run banks will close.

The Fed was faced with a choice, fight inflation or not. They choose correctly, and that has ripple effects. That is life. Some banks were prepared and managed their risk well; others did not. And some are probably getting unlucky because SVB really screwed up and now people are keeping their money under the F.D.I.C. insurance level because of their bad management.

(inflation isn't so simple as printing money; it also had to do with companies taking advantage of the cover to raise prices, problems with global logistics delays and higher shipping prices, and a lot more. It is a very complex issue and not so simple.)

The Fed administration? I've never heard it called that. Are you from the USA?

Can you tell me your background in economics? I'd like to understand your expertise and why you think you know better than the brilliant people at the FED who do nothing but think about this and analyze data :). That doesn't mean they are perfect, but they are historically pretty good at their job and constantly improving.
Nice post. Blog posts on TeX's internals are rare; see also Graham Douglas's posts on his blog (http://www.readytext.co.uk/?cat=14) and on Overleaf: https://www.overleaf.com/learn/latex/Articles/A_New_Series_o...

Once I had the thought of writing a "TeX debugger", that would separately show the function of TeX's "eyes", "mouth", "stomach" (actual terms used by Knuth) etc. It would have a bunch of different pages, one for the characters of the input file(s) (the input stack), one for the token (stream) that will be seen next, one for the "commands", one for the lists (horizontal lists, vlists, mlists) being assembled currently, one for the paragraph-breaking, one for the page-breaking, etc.

So if you were curious what was going on or encountered an error, you would be able to peer into exactly what part your error is coming from. Then I realized that with a typical macro-heavy usage of TeX (like LaTeX or even plain), almost all the action of interest to typical users would be in the expansion section.

I had hacked up an initial prototype (posted here: https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/391131) that shows what goes on with the following TeX input (without spaces):

\expandafter \expandafter \expandafter \meaning \expandafter \uppercase \expandafter{a}
\end

It may be interesting to exhume it and see what it does with the `\newif` from this post. The way I was doing it at the time is pretty slow (running TeX under gdb and exporting prodigious amounts of output), and the output format is pretty unhelpful/confusing, but these days I think it may make sense to compile TeX to WASM and have everything running in the browser. I haven't touched it in 6 years, but if anyone is interested in working on such a TeX debugger I can share ideas. :-)

My motivations were twofold:

- Most TeX users don't really understand what's going on, and this mismatch in mental models leads to much confusion, overly complex macros, etc.

- There are a lot of great ideas in TeX, which newer typesetting systems may ignore and not use. One problem is that TeX is too monolithic and I'm hoping that if people could see its parts separately, some of these ideas may be easier to grasp.

Not sure about that. A few social activities are negative (nightlife, eating out maybe), but most seem to be neutral to me (hanging out, gaming, religion), and it's pretty easy to find positive activities (walking/hiking, sports, climbing).
First off, this is just your anti-human opinion. "overpopulation" isn't anything approaching a fact.

Beyond that though, have you considered the second order effects of population reduction? What happens when the non-productive share of the population becomes 80%? How many things we enjoy in our way of life that are predicated on increasing populations?

The top comment is currently saying that diet, exercise, and a good social network are basically a cure-all to all issues in western society. I'm being a bit reductive but so is the comment.
The filter theory* of consciousness holds that consciousness is an element independent of the human brain. Every brain acts as a unique filter for this elemental consciousness, structuring reality in the most optimal way for that creature to survive.

This filtered consciousness forms the "default mode network", which is the construction of ego or separate self. Near death experiences (and psychedelics and Buddhist jhanas) disintegrate the default mode network, allowing us to perceive the consciousness element beyond the brain's filtering mechanism.

*vs commonly held production theory which assumes the brain produces consciousness.
Wow, if you're competing with ChatGPT, that gives all other startups out there hope that competitors aren't something to be super scared about :)
You can’t outrun a bad diet. It takes a lot of exercise to burn off excess calories, and virtually no effort to simply not consume them. I understand that health is more than just calories, and you can come to the same conclusion about other bad things like trans fats, alcohol, etc.

If someone had to choose only one thing to do for health, a healthy diet is far more important than exercise.

Banks are a terrible investment. To get above average rate of growth they have to do something risky like lending too much to people they shouldnt be lending to or playing timing games with assets and liabilites. With the bonuses to their staff exceeding returns to shareholders its seems that banks are configured for their senior staffs benefit rather than their owners.

I did a postdoc at a hospital in a HCOL city which offered still expensive but below-market hospital owned apartments for postdocs. It was a massive perk at the time and I'm not sure I would have even taken the job without it. Even setting aside the cost part, it was a massive relief just not having to visit the city in advance and trying to find an apartment in a brutal housing market and dealing with sketchy landlords.

Of course it came with the stressful side of knowing that if I ever left the job (or was fired), I'd also need to move out of the apartment as well within a month.

Fairly fresh code base, no pesky users, so no uptime problems, lots of experimentation to do to figure out what works and what not.

On the downside, the probability of finding something that really works and shipping it isn’t high, and that of producing something great extremely low, and the probability that you can spend a career there is low, too, but if you can live with that, I think there could be fun jobs there.
