They're not everyday things for a lot of people though.

I was in a shop this weekend where the price per 250g of coffee was displayed, but the woman in front of me only had a 175g container. Neither her, the person serving her, or the other person working in the café knew how much to charge her. It's 175/250 * £PRICE_PER_250.

In supermarkets, prices of items are displayed beside each other - a sharing bar of chocolate is £x/100g, but the multipack is £y/item, and each item is z grams. Which is better value?

Cooking - I have a recipe in a book that serves 2 people, but I'm cooking for 3. How much X do I need?
You must be looking at some niche topics then.
I believe it’s called ‘hallucination’
I might offer an alternative perspective.

In my opinion it’s because of english’s evolution over time. Something that might have made perfect sense in the past becomes an antiquated way of saying the same thing in the future. It also deliberately encodes the authors belief about how language should be spoken ignoring any regional variances you see in the real world.

When you abstract away the English meaning of code into something new and unchanging, you provide stability not seen in natural language.
I thought this was about Vala and only on a second read caught it was a different language.
I read it in a high school long time ago. It’s a very different novel, although a bit boring one for a modern consumer. But it points out exactly what you say: the insignificance, and may cause the reader to change their perspective a bit.
This, 200%. I have the same problem with my 87yo father, and no idea how to fix it. I've drawn up step by step instructions, labelled both the TV and set top box remotes and devices with icons, yet somehow he manages to press something on either that throws the whole system out of whack and results in a phone call about "the TV not working". Usually unsolvable without being there in person, which with Dad living 250km away is not doable on a daily basis.
Well fuck me but that does seem to prove my point. I looked hard and did not see it, since mixing (faint, low contrast) icons and text items is a terrible design. Not giving users an easy way to opt out shows so much contempt.
Why "not equivalent"? Both are top-tier workstation options of their times.

But... the UX of PowerMac G5 is lot more pleasant and everything feels lot more responsive than on modern Pros. Probably because of lack of signature verifications, SIP, RPC with Apple servers. But still, those machines _feel_ better.

The Monarch has tremendous reserve powers in an unwritten constitution like the UK’s, and has not been shy of abusing them elsewhere like the Australian constitutional crisis of 1975, essentially a coup against a democratically elected government. In addition to the £600M inheritance tax break Chuck the Third got on his private wealth, the Palace is exempted from racial discrimination laws among many others, and well into the 1970s it was their official policy not to hire black or brown people for anything more exalted than cleaning toilets:

(They still refuse transparency on that, so it might still be ongoing for all I know)

As for democracy, the arrest of Republic protesters during the coronation shows how hollow that claim is. The UK is still a nation managed for the benefit of its feudal elite, as seen with institutions like leasehold or the fact there is no property tax on their holdings.

You’d have a much less risible case with the Scandinavian or Dutch monarchies.
I didn't understand the idea. Can you please provide more details?
> Because these are world health organisation 'international disease classification' codes that are designed for population health study and happen to be used for insurance billing in the US.

This is the root of the problem. These codes should not be used for billing. That should be much more coarse. They bill you for visiting the GP. They bill you for a surgery. Adding the codes to the records is fine and good, but really should just be an internal detail that isn't that relevant to the patient.

> If you want to use somebody's else code, copy it verbatim into your project.

Copy/paste is a code smell ;)

A nice middle ground is referencing the code you want via its hash; rather than some ambiguous, made up identifier. That way:

- We retain the structure of separation, rather accumulating a big ball of mud.

- There's nothing ambiguous that needs "resolving": a hash corresponds to precisely one (known) file; assuming the algo's not been broken ;)

- Anyone using our project, anywhere in the world, at any time in the future, will get the exact same code.

- References to the same hash can be shared across projects directly (no need for e.g. deduplicating filesystems)

- We can reference multiple different copies/versions without conflict, since they'll have different hashes.

- Referenced files can be cached for as long as we like (since they won't change, there's no invalidation; although we may want to "garbage collect" to save space)

- No need for central "locations" (such as HTTP URLs): we can grab files from mirrors, P2P, other people's caches, etc. and it makes no difference to the file's hash.

- No need to trust third-parties, e.g. using HTTPS, PGP, etc. since we can verify whether the file we receive has the hash we want.

One way to do this is git submodules, although they rely on specific locations so we might want something like a magnet link for robustness and longevity.

Another is IPFS, whose addresses are content hashes.

Yet another is a tool like Nix, which has the advantage that we can calculate the contents of files; e.g. specifying our desired hashes in one place, and having them propagated/spliced/etc. as needed through the project (making it easier to update/replace in the future). We can also specify patches and arbitrary other pre-processing, to ensure we're getting precisely, and only, the code we want.

Note that these aren't mutually-exclusive: Nix and Git work very well together, for example.

Honestly, I don't know - but I'm not willing to bet either way: don't forget there's a _huge_ contingent of people at companies of all sizes that figured out VBA in Office by themselves and write software internally at work who don't identify with us, the HN fringe, who only code in the office, on a company-provided desktop.

I've only ever seen (and experienced first-hand) software companies and startups issuing laptops as-standard instead of desktops twice in my whole career, all other companies I've either worked for, or worked with, preferred desktops.

At my current company we interface with a lot of independent contractors and I have noticed that exclusive laptop use is far more common there - but it's still at-odds with my own personal experience.

> I do wonder though if this is a good use for something like (calm down) blockchain

I think you might have meant distributed and decentralized systems in general. But the answer has nothing to do with technology. We have all the decentralized technology we need (long before blockchain by the way), even e-mail is somewhat decentralized (well, at least distributed), yet it doesn't solve the problem by itself.

This and the parent comment has to constricted view of QA in aerospace. Yes, manufacturing quality is a big part. And yes, it’s possible that new manufacturing processes like additive manufacturing can streamline the QA. But the part being missed is all the downstream QA.

Those welds still need to be inspected. Any soldering needs to be inspected to the J-STD. The materials still need to be kept in an environmentally controlled environment. The materials still need samples kept, for possibly decades, in a similar manner in case something is found wrong later. All this requires administrative overhead like a chain of custody etc. That isn’t cheap.

Hah I sent an email to a Spanish website about a shipping issue.

Depends. Does logging on facebook once a month to see what the few family members are doing counts ? That at best, I went months never visting it and just used FB as a SSO provider for any site I didn't cared enough to create any proper account on.

As for others, I only visit twitter if it is a source for update of something I care about, and that's near always coming from some other site like HN

Both could disappear tomorrow and nothing of value would be lost.

I tried some FB groups related to hobbies but they're generally garbage with no way to bury useless/low effort content.
That still has to be done ad-hoc and might kill performance for many usecases.

You've completely missed what provides the value of both YT and Reddit - the content and network effect. Their tech is "easily" replicated.
Just because Yandex passes the test, doesn't mean the can be relied upon.

Remember, because they are Russian, it is in their interest to show you content that US corporations censor, but they may be censoring the content that Russia wants to be censored or manipulate it for the benefit of Russian propaganda.

What I am trying to say is that it is probably better to get information from many sources as every can be biased one way or another.

Just query yandex about WWII, you'll see links to conspiracy sites and sources whitewashing Soviet Union involvement in starting it.

Indeed, but perhaps the imagination of GPT could create something more interesting than fractals.
All the human chit-chat usually doesn't summarize itself to a meaningful concept, and so it happens with texts like this one, which are actually beautiful as brain exercise, the way of twisting the meaning of the words beyond its literal significance, how extrapolates ideas from phrases to insinuate conclusions without obviously literally mentioning the idea.

But little final conclusions can be distilled from it except for a bullet list of doubts.

The fact that they didn't provide an easy way to revert this awful menu pisses me off.

Not just the line on the map, but number of Russian tanks destroyed. Number of Russian artillery destroyed.

Unlike the Taliban who fought with incredibly cheap weapons, Russia has a limited amount of sophisticated artillery, tanks, and missiles.

Every tank, missile, airplane, helicopter Russia loses is one that will never threaten a European nation ever again

As long as the hard metrics are moving in our favor, it's good. The thing about Afghanistan is that we reached the point of minimal Taliban army in like December 2001 and didn't know what to do after that.

Russia's army is much bigger. So we have to spend months or even years corroding their army. After that, it will take decades for Russia to rebuild. It's a very different situation than Afghanistan.

It's not like Russia's army is infinite here. It's large but finite.

------

But let's talk about lines on the map. Should Russia keep control of Crimea? Should we let Russians expand their territory at their leisure?

How does letting Russia annex territory help European security?

Mind you, this is the exact opposite situation than Afghanistan. All we Americans are doing are funding a rebellion inside of Crimea or Donetsk and hoping the territory gets returned eventually.

If not, we make the Russians pay for their mistake to discourage future annexation of territory.

This is closer to us funding the Taliban in 80s, rather than fighting the Taliban in the 00s. We have plenty of weapons and weapon production. The local population has high morale and is motivated. Our objectives align and unlike the Taliban/Mujhadeen we have better long term assurances that the Ukrainians will be a better ally with us in the long term.

Like what is the downside for supporting the Ukrainians or Koreans for the next 50 years? Like $50 Billion/year? We absolutely can pay that.

You are comparing/contrasting to Afghanistan which cost more than 20x the money and directly risked US lives, that had obviously fewer gains.
An odd thing about Japan is that despite making great products it has a terrible safety culture. People from the UAW will point out the carnage in the typical Japanese car factory and it still seems little known that Japan was leading the world in nuclear accidents before Fukushima, such as the Tokaimura critical accidents, the time they tried to cover up a fire at the Monju fast reactor, then the time they dropped the refueling machine on top of Monju, just to name a few.

Fukushima itself revealed numerous lapses in safety procedures, including the fact that they built it at that site at all, that they didn’t have adequate emergency generators, that they never tested the isolation condensers (which would have prevented the meltdown and hydrogen explosion at Unit 1) etc. Contrast that to Nine Mile Point here in upstate NY where they test the isolation condensers every chance they get and the operators know exactly how it works.

Many of the Japanese ideas that lead to quality, efficiency and a seemingly harmonious society lead to death in nuclear work. Critical tasks are treated as 無駄 (waste).

And speaking of 無駄, there is a real tension between a heavier process and faster feedback. That missing header takes 30 minutes to fix but if the process to avoid that mistake adds 30 minutes of time you don’t come out ahead. For superficial problems like that the answer is to speed up your cycle and try to get that 30 minutes down to 20.

A better example of a “a stitch in time saves nine” is where people get the data structures behind the application wrong and fixing it is more like 30 weeks.

> I can understand why someone decides to completely ignore something like this

The fact that you can't see the other side of this shows how one-sided type view point is.

99% of people will never need or use calculus in their life. Most jobs have zero to do with Excel.

There are probably 100s of millions of people who care about what celebrity X is up to, and a factoid about a defunct app, on a dead phone, by a dissolved company is almost the definition of useless trivia. It's the person who knows how many pieces of dryer lint were in Dan Quayle's pocket the day he got married. You just happen to care about it.

Knowing celebrity news allows for instant connection with millions of people who also know about this news. In practical terms you can with higher probability form a bond with someone by talking with them about celebrity news then tour can by opening a conversion on obscure math (or computer) topic. If your job is able building relationships, or you simply care about connecting with people it's a much more efficient way of doing so.

Guess what? You likely don't have this knowledge. And you probably are glad you don't, and are maybe even proud that your don't. And you likely excuse yourself for feeling this way, while blaming others for feeling the same about a topic your care about.
>Yeah, I totally understood that. Still not sure where Calculus fits in, though.

If I need to tell you how one of the most important theories in mathematics, with broad applicability to all data-based academic fields and all careers which have to do with manipulating and investigating data, is important, then the entire school system has failed you. And I am not sure what you are doing on a site like this.

An observation of hypocrisy does not per-se invalidate the original observation, but it does expose the speaker as acting from motivated reasoning, which may put into doubt their motivations and hence their conclusions. It does not invalidate any evidence presented, but it contextualizes it by showing it to be produced by a biased and selective process. This is particularly important in political rhetoric, where framing is usually more impactful than facts.

Right before LiveJournal there was MovableType and when MT crashed and burned because they changed their license terms to be less open source, WordPress took off.
