> But ... what then keeps us in the status quo of fluoridated water supplies?

> ...thinking that everyone who made these claims sounded like General Ripper.
While that sounds concerning, I have to question the underlying thesis: Does private ownership always short-change customers, like the subtitle insinuates? "hospice agencies are now for-profit, putting profit maximization over patient well-being."

Do hotels or restaurants put profit maximization over customer well-being? If they do, they will be out of business rather soon. If the hospices have competition and comparability (for patients or their loved ones) then the same mechanism should work over time.
I can tell you that salt is not fluoridated in the Netherlands (most people who care about cooking use pure sea salt anyway). As for toothpaste, almost every toothpaste anywhere in the world has it.

There is evidence both ways, the original reports were that children's dental health improved after they stopped fluoridation in the 70s.
In OpenBSD at least, if there are users in the wheel group then this is enforced. If there are no users in the wheel group then anyone who knows the password can become root.
I sometimes listen to video game soundtracks while I work. Usually older stuff in my case: Legacy of the Wizard (NES), Shadowgate (NES), Final Fantasy IV/VI (SNES), etc.

I don't have a particularly interesting story to share. The music is familiar and brings back good memories; it is energizing; and it is easy to listen to.

In the original game setting, the music would play in the background and hype you up for whatever task you were trying to accomplish. Nowadays, instead of attempting to defeat the Warlock Lord, I'm trying to finish a section of a research paper. Both tasks, at least in my view, call for the same mood.
It's an interesting result, but the probability distribution seems to be doing a lot of the work. The distribution of programs a human is likely to encounter is very different from the set of all programs of length N uniformly distributed.
> Remember: it's three lines and a question. Pretty much the Country Music of experiments, eh?

IDK, three lines of math is more than enough for me to make fatal mistakes in. For example, in my secondary and high school times, it took me years to stop carelessly forgetting to carry a minus sign during calculations - even as simple as requiring three lines.

Another analogy - you may argue this is goal-post shifting, but I'm really not inventing new analogies here, only bringing up the other one of the two I always use - GPT-4 being like a 4 year old kid in terms of focus. Anyway: the few tests I run tended to show GPT-4 first understanding the problem correctly, and then confusing itself mid-way through its output. This is quite similar to what my 4 y.o. often does. She'll say stuff like "no, X isn't like Y, X is more like Z, it's not like Y", and then suddenly continue as if X was like Y, as if the idea of X being like Y overpowered her earlier assertion that it's not.
> reopening the “charger wars” when CCS seemed settled on (by all non-Tesla brands)

'All but Tesla' means nothing when Tesla is the 800 pound gorilla in the room. Its like saying GPGPU is settled by now on OpenCL by all non-Nvidia brands.

Based on price/performance alone an 8GB RPi 4 doesn't make sense even in its own category--it can't compete with an Nvidia Jetson. But if you're doing a lot of Pi work then the more expensive models earn their keep as dev machines. (Multiple compiler threads can actually use that RAM, and there are situations where transpiling on a desktop can't help.)
Marriage happens in the heart.

I perceive the big event as the opposite of something healthy.
The need for a legal thing is resolved in Canada: if you live together for 1 year, that's basically equivalent to being married.

I have been living with my partner for 13 years (I'm 34), we both work from home so that's some 24 x 365 x 13 hours together.
I occasionally ask her to marry me, for fun, and she says yes. At times she says maybe to joke. But really after living together for that long, does that even matter?

So there you go, another reason to never marry

We have two children.
Technically, the language is excellent. Organizationally, major corporations have invested a lot of resources into it, they won't allow it to fail. Community-wise, there are lots of friendly and supportive people in the quieter corners (this is true most everywhere, I think).

That being said, my recommendation for learning systems programming would be to consider trying plain old C first. Rust's safety features are a godsend, but IMO easier to understand once you have experienced working without them. (Similarly, I like to recommend leaning a dynamically typed language first, and introducing static typing later.)
To add to this, there is also the `,[]` program, which reads a single input byte, halts iff it is zero, and loops infinitely otherwise.

The Simpsons episode "Radioactive Man" nailed this.
Many =/= Most. The dislike ratio was extremely reliable when it came to identifying clickbait. Maybe you don't care about that but many others do.
people have gone by pseudonyms for ages in the culture around hackers and computers generally. I don't see why we shouldn't do the same here.

This is nonsense, global warming is real and it's implications are visible already.

Whether we are smart is irrelevant when we are lazy, selfish and greedy.

> Although it explains a lot of my almost 50 previous years. I am now sad.

It's a matter of perspective. I find it a relief that many things I thought were my moral failings were simply predictable consequences of a common problem.
"Rampage through the solar cell industry"? Is that you chatGPT? Original article has more material[0], reads like a marketing piece though, even if it was tested by the ESTI[1]

I worked with tree sitter a bit for a small project. It seems to be the case that, while it covers a large set of languages, the actual implementation of each subset doesn't follow the exact same underlying API. And it follows that there is no universal AST parser as far as I can tell. Languages have many types of atomic parts to such an extent that unifying them is a tremendously complex task.
Fair point! Arguably the program `,` might not halt if a user never provides a byte of input to read! I've never seen a brainfuck machine with a read timeout.
> The 8x speedup seems to come from a microbenchmark that requires no real async work from the kernel

which is nice because you can measure the actual library overhead without the noise from real kernel work.
Funny idea: What would happen, if a bunch of relatively well known Youtubers made it their mission to say at every video ending, that one should upvote for disliking a video and that they consider upvotes to be dislikes? If it became big enough of a movement, would upvoting also be removed?
> Are there any games nowadays that allow such things and spawn so many custom maps?

WC3 literally spawned DotA, and thus the entire genre of MOBA. It was originally just a WC3 map.

SC2's editor is also quite capable - the game is free to play, there is a lot of cool stuff in the arcade section, with some very active minigame communities (Direct Strike, Crap Patrol, etc). Sunspear Games are making Immortal, a new RTS which was initially prototyped using the SC2 engine; these same guys earlier did StarBow, which could best be described as "StarCraft 1.5", with many good elements of both BW and SC2. And of course there's that guy who's remaking all of WC3 in the SC2 engine, and it works better than WC3 Reforged (which I sincerely do not recommend to spend your money on). There's also the SC2 Mapster Discord server, some people are trying quite interesting things for regular 1v1 maps (considering how conservative normal 1v1 is), like water slides, destructible resources/watchtowers, etc.

Overall not the golden age, but it's very much alive.
Nothing about phone cameras involves "ML models trained on publicly available images".
Happy to see KAUST and Saudi Arabian research on the front page of HN, especially in this domain, considering the stakes the country has in the field of renewable energy.
When your movie is thin retelling of another movie (think Kurosawa's "The Hidden Fortress" v Lucas' "Star Wars"), actuaries can help make sure the retelling is just enough different from the original to avoid a lawsuit.
I think this question is specifically about the early 80's, although I think that argument is certainly relevant today.
Maybe the downgrade not, but the original keynote was, but we can only guess. I don't think it's popular to vote against a black person being the keynote speaker.

At the same time this keynote is nowhere near as interesting as last year's async stabilization keynote, I think we can all agree on that.
My Photo Stream is shutting down on July 26, 2023
What exactly do you think my claims are? I'm not the one who made the original claim, only supported the claim that american dermatologists have a zero tolerance policy for sun exposure.

Either you think there's a more representative opinion for American dermatologists than the AAD or what seems more likely is that you don't understand the argument that I was supporting.
Yeah, might have been better to reword it as a "8x reduction in overhead" or something to make it more clear that it's highly unlikely you'll see this in real workloads.
Yeah passwords have persisted because they are conceptually easy for people to understand. 2FA with a code sent by SMS is also easy for anyone with a phone. No apps to install, nothing to set up or manage. Just provide your phone number one time.

So despite all the flaws, it's the least bad thing we've come up with that doesn't cause an explosion of user support issues. Any replacement is going to need to be at least that easy.
You should try to read things more charitably/interpret them in good faith. I'm assuming they are referring to content that claims to be about "men's rights" but is actually redpill-ish and just plain women bashing.

Similarly, there is a lot of content that claims to be "feminist" content but really it's just women saying all men are trash.

Both are extremely harmful for gender equality and both tend to get recommended pretty happily by YouTube.
As it turns out, the qualities and skills that make someone an excellent systems programming language developer are completely orthogonal to the qualities and skills that make someone effective in governing a loose organization made up mostly of volunteers and subject to worldwide scrutiny.
Purely anecdotal, yesterday I went to a conference and this morning I chatted with my wife, telling her what I listened to.

I had to walk/run (went with public transit).

This morning as I was telling my wife the details of what I did I told her "how am I remembering all these details!"

I have a Prusa MK3S and Mini+. The MK3S is especially reliable, and it looks like the next gen MK4 is even better in terms of speed/print quality.

I really want a printer with multi-material capabilities, but haven't found the right yet. BambuLabs looks interesting, but I don't like how closed the ecosystem is.
Only two countries, Germany and Switzerland, have fluoridated salt.
I think it was just your comment maybe felt like it was implying they were doing something weird or unusual.

I also listen to a lot of video game music when coding. Why? One night, years ago, I got talking to an Uber driver about music and he shared a Spotify playlist of video game tracks. Years later, I generally listen to the full soundtracks of the games he included in that playlist (most of which I’ve never played or even heard of). Thanks Munib!
This just sounds like a gateway to the widespread open robbery and stealing that is the corruption plaguing police in 3rd world countries. How could this pass any scrutiny as a valid anti-drug strategy? To dry up funds, the better strategy would have always been, to at least temporary destroy the prices by state-production of drugs.

This protestant mindset regarding vices and how to fight them is really self-destructive to the society it possess, to the point were it creates more corruption and moral decay then the one it fought in the first place. Society was saved, by destroying all of society.

A lot of trust they don't keep a map from hash->id behind the scenes though for data they already have.

Tell your family and friends you, e.g., like regularly having a pizza for dinner, or that you're ditching sugar for artificial sweetener - and enjoy watching people on an acid trip with no LSD. You'll hear plenty of warnings warning and advice that's quite obviously bullshit, and which they acquired from other people and/or lifestyle magazines/blogs/memes - except they don't even realize it, because they're not in a habit of remembering where did the idea come from along with the idea itself, and so instead they "just know" they're right.
Hotels do this, and it’s a race to the bottom. The hotel experience has gotten so bad people accept going days without turndown service now.
Mostly your fingers.
It is a big deal, because ad-hoc development environments don’t break simultaneously. They can also be fixed by the developer using them. Even if, say, GitHub goes down, I can still email / DM a git am patch to a colleague for a code review (and they can send me a patch with comments).

Choosing a shared environment is basically choosing to randomly give your development team a snow day. Maybe you’re okay with that tradeoff, but when it rains it pours… prod likely will go down when you can’t use the cloud dev machines.
I think you're underestimating the arbitrary cruelty of the internet. Naming people just paints a target on them.
I cannot comment on Guix versus Nix. I do agree the Nix language is unusual.

For instance, this statement:

buildInputs = with pkgs;[
python34
python34Packages.docopt
];

In any other language, the first semi-colon in that position would be the end of the statement. But in Nix, it is not.

The writer of the Nix expression does have to pay a significant cost, in my opinion. If done correctly, the users of the Nix expression can benefit enormously. Using a Nix project can be simple. These commands:

nix flake show
nix build ...
nix run ...
nix flake check

cover a lot of ground, and don't necessitate understanding the Nix language. It is the best way I know to synchronize a team of developers and provide them with identical working environments, on their own operating systems.

A very complex application written in multiple languages with multiple services can be set up with a Nix expression. The application developer then needs only the commands above to build, run, and test the application. Furthermore, Nix can provide the compiler and IDE support (such as an LSP server) to the developer.
Several countries have flouridized table salt.

It was initially supposed to be filmed at factories, but there was a change of plans and circumstances (the first of many others which resulted in constant rewriting of the script, succession of three cameramen, and summer of 1978 spent on remaking shots from summer of 1977).

Outdoor shooting happened at Rotermanni Quarter, an old factory area next to the port of Tallinn, at various factories and train stations around the city, and at the old unused dam nearby.

As for foamy wastewater, it came from the pulp mill. Its contents and potential toxicity could be anything, depending on part of the cycle that dumped the byproducts. Turpentine was a good candidate, and it could be combined with sawdust particles. However, if spending a couple of months by the river could give people cancer, local people would also have it.

Note that the mill opened in 1938, so, depending on who you ask, either the river had already been dead before Soviet era, or it was constantly being polluted in each year of it. To my unprofessional eye, the flow of Jägala river is way too small to effectively dilute the waste (nor all the little dams help it), but it was an important project economically:

Thank you for reporting this problem, I created an issue on GitHub to track it. The root cause is probably located in our tileset or style (not in the renderer). Right now, we use the OpenStreetMap name attribute in our tiles and most of our tests are performed in central europe.
Something to note though, these are typically extremely slow to render on mobile (at least in my experience) and can mean the difference between a functional web app and a laggy mess if you're redrawing often.
Thank you for sharing! I've seen quite some traffic from your post
A new method does not give any advantage over extending an existing method, it's going to have to use the same code anyway.
But the frontend runs locally via JavaScript, so while latency is real, there shouldn't be more between keystrokes than, say, VScode. (Because otherwise that would be intolerable.)

From my experience (not on the web), frameworks that take their Unicode support seriously fare quite well by now (nothing is perfect), while frameworks that make silly assumptions that everything is ASCII do not.
But that is not the only possibility. So you are missing the point.
That’s thankfully turning around. We were just in a hotel for a few days and they offered to turndown our room each night which we declined as we don’t really make a mess and it was only two nights.

Although I tend to agree with you, I am also curious what sort of music you would prefer that is less trite lyrically and musically? I know of quite a bit, but generally don't find that anyone wants to listen to it with me.
Yeah, and plenty of Python keynotes on umpteen projects to overcome the GIL - GIL that is still there.
Thanks. Just verified, and OSM is correctly rendering RTL (at least Hebrew).
That race is a reasonable suspicion until barring further explanation/transparency. And additionally the “to be clear” refrain.

The test is novel to the program, just not its programmer. So are we testing the program or are we actually testing its programmer? If we're testing the program, then the programmer's foreknowledge is irrelevant.
I beg to differ. I have high endurance but since a few years I make minuscule steps and plateau way below my expectations. Meanwhile some people are gliding with their hands in their pockets and will only need 7 days to exceed their initial goal.
Oh you can totally get too cute with metatables. I've seen inheritance/straight-OO(Java/C++ style), component based design, and eventing/message based approaches all with the core primitives that Lua provides.

I think my favorite one was one that used yield[1] with the parameters being the number of frames to resume the execution of the coroutine. That was used by a number of our game designers to write AI scripting that felt close to literate programming(I.E. "move x, look for player, yield 30, if found player, go here, etc). You could build a whole AI state machine that fit into one page of code and was very easy to follow.

Computers were not cheap in the 80s. However, my father, who did a lot of electronics projects in the 80s did pivot to computers and it changed my life.
Schools were one reason. My high school canceled electronics classes in favor of programming, which was seen as a job for the future. I'm sure money and safety also figured into that decision.
