the fact that there are repeated statements like "why X" where X = some language, points to rationalization more than reality; if the language is really so good, there won't be any need for a "why" articles on it. I haven't seen a repeated series of "Why C#" or "Why Go" or "Why Swift" articles. I also think Lisp is way overrated. Swift is based on Miranda which is based on Hope which borrows heavily from SML...There's nothing Swift can't do better that Lisp can.
I suppose this is brainstorming for a problem that's been solved, I wonder if the flags of how much a viewer can see can be user-modified and stored in a cookie, and a few seconds before the video starts the viewer will get a reminder of what their preferences are, and what the video's rating is. If the video is "more challenging" than the user's settings, then of course the video won't play. And if the user hadn't set anything, they can just click "Skip the configuration, show me the video".
$15 was a living wage here in the upper Midwest a few years ago. Now I doubt it is. Most fast food restaurants pay about that much plus benefits. They used to pay closer to $10
I just realized, from your comment, how much power companies will have if they start including "emotional manipulation" in their dark pattern arsenal. Which I am sure will horribly backfire in some way if used
Ask HN: Anybody having >50% of GPT API calls time out the last 2 days?
I don't know what's happened. This isn't an issue with hitting the rate limit or anything like that. I'm not getting any errors at all, the request will just hang indefinitely, even with as simple of a request as a few lines of text.

These exact same requests have been doing great all month and have only just started failing at a rate that has made my product unusable.

> Facebook rapidly building out new features may harm competitors

Facebook has not grown by rapidly building out features. They did it by buying competitors, which harms competition (not necessarily the competitors themselves).
It says "$15 (USD) an hour and up". That's better than uber or other gig work, and honestly probably pretty attractive for a lot of people. What should the wage be?

There was a story a few months ago about offshore contractors making $2/hour to do content filtering. Even that I belive was a good local wage, but in comparison, this $15 job seems pretty generous.
$30,000 a year is barely a living wage now. Especially if you have a partner, let alone a child. Rent for a 1br apartment rent (in Kansas City) would take about half of that income every month.

$30k just above the poverty line for the lower 48, and it is the poverty line if you have the audacity to have two children.

Inflation has hit reality pretty fucking hard; we need to adjust our mental models to match that reality again.

Get out of your bubble. It's a living wage in a good chunk of Western Europe.
The `Link` component is ridiculous: “Links can be created in HTML with the <a> element with an href attribute. However, if the link does not have an href, and is handled client side with JavaScript instead, it will not be exposed to assistive technology properly”…

Sure, sure, but if your link doesn’t have an href, it’s because you don’t want a link, you want an unstyled button!
struggling to see how it's a "staggering" amount of waste

> Secondary indexes are implemented as an additional smaller table in most databases (Index -> Primary Key), which requires a write, too.

> Don't take my word for it- run some benchmarks yourself to see the performance cliffs appear in these "distributed strongly consistent" databases when you have a handful of indexes.

I'm not saying secondary indexes aren't a performance cliff. I'm saying I can't think of a reason they must require additional quorum on top of the initial message that would require a secondary index update.

Since you said:

> Secondary indexes in "distributed strongly consistent" systems is what ruins performance: because each index is +1 write to another "index table" (... +1 raft quorum check!).
You're looking at the ratings backwards. The sex rating is less sensitive than violence because violence is less tolerated. The sex rating is also more nuanced as sex/intimacy is more nuanced than violence. The ratings in fact rate violence as super bad.

That's fair, but it's a fixed amount of RNA and RNA degrades. The virus can continually create new RNA. COVID has been shown to persist in a fraction of patients, so it will continue for months or years. I don't see how these situations are comparable. Again, the vaccine spike is edited to be bound in the pre-fusion conformation whereas the natural spike is flexible and can bind to ACE2 and expose additional internal inflammatory sites.

https://cen.acs.org/pharmaceuticals/vaccines/tiny-tweak-behi...

"Young, healthy people" makes enormous assumptions about a tiny slice of the population. After one or more COVID infections, they may acquire the dreaded "co-morbidities" that a huge fraction if not a majority or supermajority of the population have. Despite how we like to think we have personal control over our circumstances, in this situation, we do not. It is a collective effort and we are failing to control transmission.

Vaccines are part of this, as are masking with N95 respirators, testing, air cleaning, paid sick leave, scientific isolation and quarantine periods, etc. I am hopeful that with targeted or universal air cleaning combined with partial population immunity (maintained via periodic vaccine updates) and paid leave, we can push the reproduction number below one. This is a very serious crisis that is worsening in some ways, but we are acting like the physical environment has no bearing on our lives if we think positively.
The MacBook Air and Pro have the same performance for just over 7 minutes of full power usage / compiling, FWIW. At that point the Air throttles and the Pro never never throttles.

That’s the entire and sole performance differentiator between the Air and the Pro.
Samsung does the same fwiw for their newest phones. Pretty annoying.
These people don't live in Europe. They live in the US.

They'd be paid accordingly less if they lived in Europe. Though they'd probably have better safety nets.

I got a Samsung S21 FE 5G as an award on a programming competition.

OEM unlocking wasn't even an option in the developer settings until I connected the phone to the internet and set the date to one month in the past (I assume this has something to do with the warranty -- you can't even unlock the bootloader right away).

An internet connection was required before even using the phone on the Android initial setup screen.

Apart from that, developer settings can't even be enabled before agreeing with Samsung EULA. Initial setup screen can be weirdly manipulated into opening settings (Accessibility, Additional apps, Live transcribe, Connectivity settings (only shows if there's no inet connection), back), but spamming the Build number does not enable developer settings.

Granted that I did not buy the phone, but it's still disgusting that such devices are being sold.
> For instance, a major selling point of Node was running JS on both the client and server so you can write the code once. It's a pretty shitty client experience if you have to do a network request for each and every validation of user input.

These are two different things and I don't see how they're related. You don't need code sharing to do client side navigation. And you should always be validating on the backend anyway. Nothing is stopping an MPA from validating on the client, whether you can do code sharing or not.
Despite their best efforts neither Microsoft nor Google has managed to fully embrace or extinguish email. I’d say it is working very well.
never understood the anti-regulatory vitriol expressed by normal people (that is people who would not directly benefit from the absence of regulation but actually have much to lose), especially in the US (but UK's Brexit ideology used the regulatory overreach accusation against the EU to "good" effect too - the "curved banana" absurdity).

from the food we eat, the medicine we take, the cars we drive, the planes we fly, the banks with bank with, and, dare I say, the digital technology we have, the quality of our experience relies 100% on there being strong, non-captured, informed, hands-on regulation that tries on an ongoing basis to correct market failures (for which there is a mountain of damning historical experience)

remove regulation and energy companies will put poison in your car tank and they will destroy the atmosphere, banks will fall apart and your life savings will evaporate, planes will be flown with minimal tests and collapse and you will be inside, techs will pilfer and sell your behavioral profile to the highest bidder

self-regulation is a tool that works in certain circumstances but definitely cannot be relied upon across the board. especially not in oligopolistic conditions where better alternatives will struggle to receive traction. especially not on the face of our economies having ignored entirely the environmental damage of throwaway electronic devices and plastic pollution

what is the risk of veering to the opposite side, actual regulatory overreach, that is somehow gratuitous and does not simply try to correct some market failure? At worst it may delay things here and there. Taking a step back and looking at the outcomes of "the move fast and break things" ideology, that might not be a bad thing at all
Being bipolar, I am acutely aware of managing mental energy. I’m constantly running on the edge of my limit to be functional in society. I can’t borrow energy from tomorrow. I borrow from the next fours.

It seems to be impossible to explain this. People just don’t get it. They are so used to having nearly infinite reserve capacity and assume everyone else does too. I have none. Every time I run out of energy, it’s laziness, carelessness, or a dozen other moral failings because I can’t possibly be different from them.

Fortunately, I’ve been able to convince people I’m doing my best and they are willing to accept something they don’t understand.

But why to bring ADHD into this? This I don't understand.

I do understand the fact that everyone is following one or two bandwagons, but I don't have the need of saying that someone must have a mental condition for doing that.

There are MANY more reasons for adopting technologies. Marketing, corporate culture, hiring, trying things out, wrong people in leadership position (as the article shows!), etc etc. It's not just always the minions to do things wrong.
Good idea. Just did so.
> So I’m guessing with this you’d use an alternative store like F-Droid instead of the Play Store?

Not necessarily, but that's the best way to do it. Between apps from F-Droid and a browser, you don't need any apps from the play store. Your bank doesn't have an app on F-Droid you might say? Well that's what the browser is for.

There's no way AMD is going to make up that much ground in such a short amount of time. You will end up being correct in that AMD will be faster in one or two cherry-picked benchmarks. I will add these benchmarks will have zero relevance to anything regarding actual CPU power, and AMD will be greatly lacking in real performance.
Probably not. I mean, I believe some guy wrote it 60 years ago in Germany, but likely many, many other people wrote the same a long time before.
If your legal system relies on reading the minds of lawmakers to infer their intent then your legal system is effectively arbitrary since those lawmakers can claim they intended anything.

In my experience I have spent a lot of time explaining what a systematic error is to people who went to school at least a decade ago.

> Present edited data, drop data

This is exactly what I mean. The people at the LHC (and probably LIGO) have to do this all the time because they generate vast amounts of noisy data too. CERN actually invented quite a lot of machine learning techniques to be able to drop as much data as they have to do.

For example, there's a famous temperature sensor in the UK that is obviously biased by being in the middle of London, how you would you use that data?

Berkeley Earth, funded by Koch brothers, independently produced a report concluding that global warming was not only real, but also with a curve that was broadly consistent with the IPCC curve too.

And it's probably fair to say that I did make an appeal to authority, however I stand by it because I have spent quite a lot of time listening to people who obviously have no idea what goes on in a physics department — forget conspiracy, just the basics of how to make a quantitative statement about a process e.g. "How can you predict something that hasn't happened yet" is one example, or using "correlation isn't causation" as a Crux to deny literally any causal argument.

Climate scientists for the most part aren't the best and brightest scientists however that doesn't really matter, because the basic concept of drawing a line through an obviously increasing curve and noting a strong link with CO2 emissions isn't very hard. The difficult stuff is working out which parts of the world will be more effected by local phenomena.

Not really. The only thing google has ever been unambiguously successful (profitable at all?) at is ads, although PageRank was pretty good for the year or three that it worked. IBM has accomplished a ton of things.

They reintroduced the non-standard connector because usb-c limits were slowing down the charging time. Its not just a preference thing, its a functionality thing. Macbooks charge faster with magsafe.

Magsafe delivers 140 watts compared to 100 watts for usb-c. That difference is not insignificant for people who aren't plugged in all day.

One potential reason to advocate for serverless architecture is it is relatively stateless and event-driven and therefore modular and easy to reason about.

Can you be more specific about how serverless tends to turn into a ball of spaghetti? It is simply because the lack of state becomes more of a bug than a feature?

Ask HN: How do signalling molecules find their targets at large/dense distances?
Though it is understandable that a biology question may be a bit out of range at HN, but maybe you can repurpose some of the data collection and thought algorithms for this question or have a chance to ask someone experienced in biotech etc.

Some time ago I asked a question at biology stackexchenge [1], and it seems it hadn't received a comprehensive answer.

Additional context is that there are ~10K biochemical reactions happening in ~every cell per second and for a signalling molecule to get to its target it needs to get through a rather dense intercellular milieu.

Considering one of the listed options talks about "several kilobytes" of reduced size it's definitely not all a huge improvement. A standard stripping of debug information is probably one of the biggest and easiest steps.

Using upx can also make a significant difference, but unfortunately not every OS likes the result. Mac OS just immediately killed my program when it was compressed like that.

In Kansas City (whose cost of living is about 15% lower than the US median, and the home of the first person in the article) a 1br apartment would cost about half of the $15 an hour wages (pre-tax).

I said it in another comment - inflation (and inflated corporate profits) has hit reality in the US like a truck. We need to adjust our mental models to match the new reality.
I'm not well versed in ACME but in DNS, unfortunately. Yes, it would have the same issue if it works as described. I've read a whitepaper on the subject I described and the time to poison cache goes way, way down. Basically, anyone could pull it off.

I think a solution here in the validation space is just avoiding the caching server altogether. If the validating server does something like dig +trace, it avoids this problem, especially if it prefers TCP.

Show HN: Filter crowded places (bars, clubs, museums) per day in major cities
Free tool to find and filter busy venues based on predicted crowd levels. This way you can find for example busy bars on Wednesday evening, or quiet museums on Sunday morning. It works in most big cities around the world. It makes it easy to find crowded places (or avoid them) when you are unfamiliar with the area. You can filter on days of the week, how busy a place is (quiet, normal, busy), and sort venues based on overall popularity, rating, dwell time, and price.

I don’t know of anyone who contests the existence of publication bias / desk drawer bias - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Publication_bias

The solution - to the extent one exists - is pre registration. I see no evidence that this study was pre registered and thus the usual assumption that it has no meaningful protection from publication bias applies.

Personally think zwave to be the most entrenched (commercial real estate relies heavily on zwave). The “cool” smart products typically exist as Wi-Fi, bluetooth, and zigbee devices (in that order). The requirements for those turn me off but I have been very successful with zwave. It powers everything from locks and lights to doors gates and my sprinkler system. HVAC is controlled by zwave and I even have a keychain scene controller that acts as a key fob to my house. When it comes close, it associates and that event can trigger a rule set.

This VM basically maps the SECD machine, directly to the underlying Clojure environment, which being Lisp, is very close to begin with. (Since SECD was first intended to implement languages like Lisp.)

So, I suppose perhaps silly in the same way that the one page Lisp definitions written in Lisp are a bit silly. They presume that you already have garbage-collected Lisp-like cells, for example. And even if you have that, you still can't really use it as a practical programming language.

Consider how it evaluates a variable in an environment: https://github.com/zachallaun/secd/blob/master/src/secd/mach... It's the simplest, and worst, solution -- iterate over the linked list from the start until you find the value you want. Performance degrades exponentially the more variables you have. In a more "serious" interpreter or compiler, you'd want to do a transform at some point, and slip in the value directly, if possible. And if not, you want to call out to a fast lookup method, like a hash table or balanced tree.
