Reproducibility would become a much higher priority if electronic versions of papers are required (by their distributors, archives, institutions, ...) to have reproduction sections, which the authors are encouraged to update over time.

UPDATABLE REPRODUCTION SECTION ATTACHED AT END

Reproduction resources:

Reproduction challenges:

Cost, time, one-off events, ...

Making this stuff more visible would help reproducers validated the value of reproduction to their home and funding institutions.

Having a standard section for this, with an initial state of "Not reproduced" provides more incentive for original workers to provide better reproduction info.

For algorithm and math work the reproduction could be served best with downloadable executable bundle.
Terraform has evolved from exciting hype to stable utility, in my opinion.
> Blocking iMessage on non Apple devices

iMessage has always worked with any device that supports SMS.

Google, on the other hand, actively blocked Windows Phone from having access to Youtube. Even when Microsoft paid to write a Youtube app themselves, Google blocked it.

Google did the same thing and blocked Youtube on Amazon's Echo Show.
I’m torn about this now. I used to cautiously support the practice of double checking your doc, but not wholeheartedly because of all the various quacks: essential oil moms, natural/spiritual healers, psychics, supplement sellers, crystal therapists, “old school” (pre-COVID) antivaxers and so on, muddying the water.

Until COVID came around and unearthed the absolute hoards of dO yOuR oWn ReSeArCh imbeciles. Now the sensible practice of getting a second opinion and exploring other options/doctors has been mixed up with the kooks: extreme politics and actual conspiracy theories, to the point where it’s hard to take any of it seriously.

When someone now says they don’t trust doctors, you have to dig deeper to understand if it’s someone genuinely seeking out other options, or if it’s one of Those People who’ve gone off the deep end.
Yes, the jetbrains already have all these features and more (such as reflecting pg functions, tables, columns, schemas, etc).

You wouldn't really notice a difference using this, except your general autocompletes would get worse, and very complex sql might get more correct (I break datagrip's parser occasionally)

The current Two Minutes Hate* against Elon Musk is frustrating.

Those of us who don’t want to be part of this politically-motivated nastiness know we will be ostracised, so we avoid speaking out against it.

And so the hateful groupthink persists.

It’s questionable whether Wickard is still good law. But more importantly, the Federal Power Act is specifically addressed to interstate and wholesale electric sales. That’s why FERC doesn’t have jurisdiction over ERCOT.

Note that electric generators in Texas certainly are subject to EPA regulation, which also rests on the Commerce Power. Pollution produced by Texas plants does travel interstate, even if sales of wholesale electricity do not.

But for the same reason, the complaint about ERCOT being a way to bypass federal pollution regulation is nonsensical.
Physics is generally better since they have good statistical models and can get six sigma (or whatever) results.

And replication can be done by the same party (although an independent party is better), and that may mean many trials.

And do we even set policy based on existence or non-existent of higgs bosons?

I am particularly unhappy with soft sciences in terms of replication.
There was some language changes in the debt ceiling bill.

Manchin had a bill with some support.[0]

The problem is Conservatives want to make sure fossil fuel projects are prioritized in any sort of reform while Liberals want to make sure they're excluded.

Which is why I said down to, they didn’t get to say we’re below the magic X% number can you please leave us alone. But presumably if their market share had fallen to 10% that would have happened.

As to when the case started, it’s impossible to know what the minimum threshold was. It could just as easily been well below 64% as people where in monopoly busting push at the time.
For faces that might be true. I've had issues with different tools when sharing a full desktop session on a 4k monitor.
I think they’re just talking about the bottom with the sensors. They bulge out to get a more accurate reading. It would be more comfortable if that was flat.
I’d argue it’s a poor system shock clone with FMV in a haunted house, personally. The “uniqueness” in my eyes is really the fact it’s an archetypal 90s FMV game, and no one makes FMV games anymore really - they died out just as FPS/3d games took off. The remaining elements can be found in other games. Thus few other games blended system shock style exploration/combat with FMV given the timeline, but others, especially the “immersive sim” genre, still have similar styles of first person exploration, combat and story telling.

It doesn’t usually get attention as one in my experience, but there are definitely significant immersive sim elements to RotH, especially the manner in which you can uncouple the mouse from aim looking to then interact with the environment, much like the aforementioned system shock.

I played it on release and played it again a few years ago - it has a certain charm for all its many, many faults. If you enjoy the silliness of many 90s FMV titles, this is one of the best in that regard.
It seems that you're talking about a code that is exposed to some third-party clients where you need to maintain compatibility. This is, of course, a valid concern, and you're absolutely right that this layer, exposed to third party clients absolutely does need increased level of friction.

However, most applications don't have any such exposure, all of their code is consumed internally. And even when they do, their external API surface which is actually exposed as some REST or ABI is minuscule in comparison to all the internal APIs — method calls and types that are never exposed anywhere.

I think that this problem, which is certainly a valid one, should be solved with methods which would not negatively affect developer experience of working with 99% of all the completely private APIs that don't need to be backwards compatible.
It's not a long article or slow-paced. It literally intersperses POV scenes from a brothel. If that can't at least hold your attention for a few pages, nothing will.

I suggest that people read a few novels if they think this article is too long.
When I was in beginning of my 20s I would put blind trust in doctors.

Unfortunately I had a ligament tear in my knee and after 4 surgeries I developed some pretty bad pains.

I took a vacation and scheduled visits to 10 orthopedic surgeons who had some of the highest medical credentials in the country.

Everyone told me that pain was caused by a different thing and dismissed ideas of other doctors.

The confidence with which they told me the reason would have convinced me have I not visited other doctors.

Later I had similar experience with doctors from other health areas.

Essentially, in medicine they can only diagnose the most typical stuff, for anything else it's just a bunch of wild guesses.
Redditization of HN is impressive. Kcplate comment is totally fair and relevant, but it seems Swozey does not care about fair and relevant...
THIS. Hidebound and self-righteous idiots with badges would still be a massive problem, even if the most advanced tech they had was morse-code telegraphs and steel-tipped fountain pens.
Just take the leap with a new one that gives you good vibes. Skipping one side entirely is also a recipe for worse things to come. So, the longer you wait the worse it'll probably get.
I think OP is mixing up people who are not career driven (not sure how to better describe them) with bullshit jobs. OP is also conflating potentially dysfunctional workplaces with bullshit jobs (possibly highly correlated but not the same).

I can think of two pieces of advice.

First, if this is important for you, obviously you need to find a less dysfunctional place to work. This might be another company or something else. You might also need to tune your expectations around dealing with "bullshit". Unless you are independently wealthy, you'll need someone to pay you for your work, and often this will mean dealing with stuff you might consider bullshit.

Second, you don't need to justify anyone why you care about this. I have friends who don't care about their job at all, but I am very career driven. This lead to many arguments about different points of view. The epiphany came when I realized that it didn't matter and I don't have to justify myself to anyone. My friends would hate my lifestyle and I would hate theirs; that's fine, different people are wired differently and that's ok.
I thought AMD was still far behind on the raytracing front, especially if you factor in DLSS as well.

Since cyberpunk came out with their all-raytraced option I'm really glad I have a 4090 because it really looks amazing. I believe raytracing really is the way forward.
It’s just good business to hedge your bets across all possible futures.
I’ve always suspected this was the case, but this result is kind of astounding. I would expect, generally, dentists agree on mouth health. Indeed, the ones he sees initially that lack financial motive have general agreement on his treatment plan.

A very generous interpretation of the results here are that none of these dentists have a good context for the reporter’s overall dental health, hence such variation, but I suspect it is the far more banal profiteering that is driving the differences.

My own experiences mirror this when I go to a dentist. A gleaming office with several very expensive cars parked out front makes me immediately suspicious.

This industry had better tighten up or it’s going to have real problems with trust.
It is phenomenal that so many people are concurrently playing BG3. I played through Divinity: Original Sin 2 and if Larian did at least as well this time around, hats off for their efforts.
I have concerns, though, admittedly filtered through my preference for talking about things I'm interested in, namely not playing any videogames for a year because I realized I'd been using them as an escape from emotions, responsibilities, and growing up in general (this is not to say that anyone who plays games is thus not an adult, just that by staying hooked I was holding myself back from feeling my full range of emotions and from being the person I want to be). I'm open to returning, but only after I live long enough without to make a whole-hearted decision.

One of my concerns is that these single-player (even small-group-of-players) games are too much like choose-your-own-adventure books (I'm in my 40s and don't remember any of these being very good; maybe modern ones are better, if they even exist?), which are difficult to have a shared experience over unless reading together or the discussion is about what options you each chose and why.
Now that I've read Blood Meridian (Cormac McCarthy), The Kiss Quotient (Helen Huang), and Feral (George Monbiot), and so on, I have more common ground with anyone I meet down the road who has read those books. When I meet people who sunk years of their lives into WoW or EverQuest, the predominant feeling seems usually to be a shared sadness and also relief at having finally unsubscribed. When I meet someone who has played single-player games there's not much to talk about either, other than listing games we've played and thus bonding a bit over the games we have in common. Maybe that's enough, but it feels more shallow than I'd like.

Maybe post-activity discussion really isn't the point, though? Are there game clubs like there are book clubs? Perhaps it is enough to have an artificial sense of purpose and to share in that escapism, but escapism beyond coping with stress until a better opportunity arises (I didn't have much guidance out of a rough childhood and took refuge in games, which may have helped me survive) feels like an unmoored state that contributes to our collective apathy over existential crises (looking at you, anthropogenic climate change, which will be an "interesting story" but not one I look forward to living through part of and ultimately dying in :). What can we do to reduce the stressors we escape from, and/or increase our ability to respond in healthier ways?

My main hope for writing this is that it helps anyone who wants to spend less time playing games take the steps to do so (for the rest of you who can moderate their playtime, hats off to you, too ;). I would love to discuss all this more, but my relationship with social media is similarly troubled and thus I almost never wade back in to learn more from responses. I DO learn quite a bit from so many of you, and I'm grateful for the depth and breadth and moderation of HN discussions.

> Sorry it sounds like you don't have a satisfying life outside of work,

When you spend 40 hours of your week doing something, it's going to influence you.

No amount of "satisfying life outside of work" can make up for a workplace that you don't enjoy. That's true for toxic workplaces, it's true for people who can't stand in-office work, and it's true for people who can't stand remote.

It's unfair to try to blame it all on the person's personal life. Different people work well in different environments. The WFH maximalists and in-office maximalists need to stop acting high and mighty like their way flawless.

Is that not generally the case for all dystopia writers? How many utopias did Orwell write?

I think the consensus among fiction writers is that attemps to create a utopia will always become a dystopia.
Compared to a register machine a stack machine needs to execute extra instructions to shuffle the stack around. If you tried to do something clever to make this superscalar you'd end up with something very much like shadow registers anyhow.

I too found Charle's Moore's cpu designs interesting. One possibility I thought about for a bit was a VLIW stack hybrid, where you'd have bundles of say 8 stack instructions each executing concurrently in their own lane, and some instructions for moving values between lanes. It'd be a weird thing to program for, but potentially quite fast for how minimal it'd be.
> You have communication problems - the needless tech listing took so much space that you had to make your actual point in a comment, and at the same you left out much more relevant information like what you've been doing recently.

While I thank you for taking the time to critique, I think you are being a bit harsh, particularly considering my post was a brain-dump of skills. It isn't a job application.

Same with your JSON, iOS development comment. Again, a brain dump. You'd be surprised how many people have no clue what JSON is. Same with mobile development. Maybe HN is the wrong crowd for a list containing some of these skills to resonate.

Anyhow, thanks again.
It's not about who's in the right. It's about whether this law, as it plays out, acts in the best interest of the people.

We can't let our impression of how things should play out be determined by asking which self-serving powerful player deserves the right of way in policy making.
But this is science we are talking about. A one-off lucky novel result should not be good enough. Why should our standards and our funding be so low?

Yeah, if you find an honest dentist in 2023 in the United States, never, ever go to anyone else. Thank GOD I found one recently. After a cross country move I put off going to the dentist for FIVE years because my previous dentist was amazing. The first one I tried was a bizarre Christian cult with a bunch of chi-chi crap in the lobby, and contemporary Christian music that -the dentist hummed along to while working on my teeth-. And then the calls started "You need X, Y, Z and probably A, B and C." and I was like "Nah. Fuck right off." Two more years without, and FINALLY found a guy who was like "You're teeth are fine. We'll keep an eye on some of these, but only worry about them if they cause you pain or have sudden changes." Guy is a gem.
Replication is not the same thing as zero bugs in software.
Why would you have to verify your identity just to buy a car? That sounds very draconian and I never have had to.
The issue here is procedural, not facial recognition per se.

There ought to be a sensible procedure on how to approach people who have been flagged by facial recognition.

Now, I don't know what is the normal procedure in the US when police think they have recognised someone who's wanted. Perhaps they do exactly the same as they did to that woman in any case...

At least in countries where everyone carries an ID card police could ask for ID first or the person could show their ID to at least and hopefully keep the police in "not sure, let's go easy" mode.
Amsterdam NL is an outlier as the city is extremely flat and and built around bikes, with a very low amount of cars (and very expensive real estate also as a consequence) and a high density of shops. Not sure it can be transposed elsewhere?
Haha, Hi there.
Curious how you would prefer this be resolved? Or are you just saying you would have made different decisions and it's fine that Sync is doing what Sync is doing?
Read HIPAA when you get the chance; Specifically how to calculate cost.

Everyone who talks to the patient, who touches them, and who is consulted by the doctor, gets to charge. Yup, that means if another doctor happens to walk by, and confirms what he just told me, he gets to charge me again (double).

Feels like theatre every time I go to the doctor, so I just tell the secretary "I'm talking to you and Doc, no one else", and just quietly stare at anyone else who pops in.

Usually insurance covers this stuff, but I was uninsured when I discovered it .
The corporate world is so inefficient that most of the job is bullshit.
I routinely came up with solutions which worked better in a tenth of the times and a tenth of the resources and made product about them after the contract.

Working in a startup is an improvement - and you have to be way more flexible on wearing different hats (some of which may feel like bullshit but are actually important).

Working on your own with trusted parties is nirvana.

The bigger the organisation, the greater the inefficiency. The worst are government or contractors working with the public.

I stopped working with people who ever worked with the government an I have to de-bullshit engineers who spent too much time at FANGs and picked up a bunch of bad habits.
Ex startuppers make the best employees, super product and user focused while shipping consistently.

Isn't dental insurance kinda a scam itself? They pay for a couple cleanings and give you maybe a slight discount on major work, but the payout limit is so low that you might as well pay out of pocket for all of it (and just save your premiums for operations) or use the clinic's own subscription program.

When would dental insurance actually be cost effective for any major operations?
What is so hard about it? It's a web app and some video manipulation. It would be nice if computers were usable enough that this would take a weekend.
Agreed. Probably tedious. But straightforward, unlike say, multiple inheritance, and, likely to be rare.
Fluid dynamics is not a fundamental theory, but an effective model, as you said. The point here is that MOND can't explain something that GR has been able to explain for 100 years (precession of Mercury). So any serious gravitational theory needs to at least that for serious consideration.
I agree whole-heartedly. I’ve wasted many hours in security committee meetings. But then a CVE was discovered and we were able to respond in minutes. Earned our compensation 10x over with that preparedness, even if a lot of being prepared looked like downtime.
Yeah that's a hyperbolic exaggeration.
The dirty secret is that the Australian law doesn't actually apply to anyone. They passed the law, but left it to the government to define which companies are in scope. And the government never designated any companies to it.

Basically it appears that the tech companies signing the same kinds of deals as elsewhere is being spun as a success of the legislation, even though the law does not apply to anyone, as a face saving measure.
Oh that address brings back memories... ftp.funet.fi

Was my first introduction to archive, FTP, and related things. I used to visit a friend at Uni and use his higher baud rate connection, until I got my own.

That account was a shell / SLIP type, and if I wanted something bigger than my modest quota, a quick note to the sysop would see it raised and an appointment to stop by the shop with portable media.

Damn good times.

For me, the magic of the tech was one thing. So much growing in such a short time!

But the people! Man, people cared. Most of them did anyway. We all (almost all) were mentored online by peers and sysops trying hard to build something good. Honor how special and enabling it all was.

I miss that the most. Logging on to read news of the day, little signposts for all of us to see, go explore. Was nice and it made me want to do the same give back what was given to me.
If the 9-5 does leave enough energy and creativity, then probably (2). My problem is, it doesn’t. It eats up my soul.
How is this problem specific to the US? I live in Germany and hear exactly the same problem of needing to be your own advocate in northern Europe.
I just find it odd that someone interested in consuming news would choose to do so out of a dumpster when given a plethora of non-dumpster options.
