> it probably has rim brakes, and in some countries you can no longer find replacement pads from a local bike shop, only special order

I find it hard to believe, but if you're in one of these countries, you can just order brake pads by the dozen on AliExpress for a few euros and you're set for the rest of your life.

why would I drink skim milk if it's just a more "watery" version of the perfectly healthy whole milk

i suppose an argument can be made that it makes up for more fat elsewhere, but i agree. personally i avoid any milk product that has less fat than is natural for that product. and i am a big fan of raw milk. when we had the opportunity we used to buy milk directly from a farmer because it just tastes so much better.

It’s not just a matter of trusting the Japanese government. The IAEA is also there to verify that things are as they say.
This really nice, it has me thinking about running other languages too - very cool!
This is attributed to people driving at a fixed perceived level of risk. The explanation goes: seatbelt makes you safer, so it doesn't matter as much whether you crash, so you can increase speed or recklessness to get back to the same perceived risk threshold. Seatbelt introduction is used as a case study in behaviour in response to risk.

I remember there was one significant dip in the fatality curve, which turned out to line up with a period where people were told to drive on the other side of the road to usual, and thus proceeded more cautiously for a time.
I think a tool that allows you to see the generated SQL and maybe edit it should help achieve what I wrote about! And looking at the code, it shouldn't even be a big change in this one. Sure, some people might not bother/think, there's no helping that. But it'd help those who do. I found non-technical people pretty curious and willing to learn once they get over this imagined barrier of "it's too hard".

I fix small stuff around my house. Does that make me a builder, or threaten builder jobs? Don't think so. I know when to call one and I know to trust them based on understanding the nature and struggles of their work a little bit better.
For Windows 2.x it was less about protected mode than the MMU -- paging allowed EMS (bank selection in real mode) to be done by the CPU.
Thanks. It's been too long too hot around here and I'm sleeping maybe 3h per day, in the morning, being awake most of the night. I take the hint and see myself out.
My understanding is they're non-homeomorphic. You can thread a string in through the inflation hole (valve hole) on an inner tube, around the great circle inside the tube, and then out the valve hole. You can also, of course go through the centre as with a donut/bagel/torus. But you can't do the former threading with a donut, so the torus and whatever the inner-tube are not typologically equivalent.

Another way to consider it is if you have a circle around the valve hole, you can't stretch that circle to be one of the two possible circles you could draw on a torus (around the 'trunk' and around centred on the donut-hole).

Anyway, I think they just chose a bad example, this was just where my mind went.
Quite frankly, this sounds like an argument against physical activity more than anything else. Plenty of people go for morning or lunch time jogs. In my neck of the woods, and at the right time of year, plenty of people go for a morning or lunch time skate. I even see people who go for a morning row.

We should be encouraging people to live healthier lifestyles, rather than discouraging them. That is especially true for those who have sedentary jobs.
SQL is easy

If it was that easy you wouldn't have a tradition of devs trying for any alternative.

There's obviously a use case for this sort of product, objections appealing to the ease of use of any technical language or toolset are unlikely to be convincing to the majority who are not comfortable with it.
> There are often also islands between the lanes, and significantly more road furniture more generally.

When I went to Berkeley roads felt weirdly wide to me, and I could never put my finger on why. They just felt a lot less safe to cross than back home.

It took me a while after getting back to realize the big difference is islands. They're everywhere in France, and I haven't seen any in the Bay Area.
The only way to compete with Nvidia is to supply a drop in replacement for CUDA with the same (or better) performance for price.

Good luck with that.

In the current state of things, Nvidia is like a car manufacturer that exclusively owns the concept of tires.
They chose the option that did not imply sharing too much information with discord. The fact that it's hard is mainly because it's not discord's preferred option. So no, it's a perfectly valid choice to make and discord is being a pita. Setting up time-based 2FA is simple. Setting up network (!! email !!) based 2FA is stupid and cumbersome.

> combinations of .map, .filter, .reduce, etc are often less readable than doing the same thing in a nested loop.

I often find map/reduce/filter easier to read when using named functions (or lazy data structures ) for intermediary results - depending on the language/runtime that might imply more allocations - or not.

Eg pseudocode:

Integers.filter(//non-obvious prime sieve).sum()

Vs

Primes = Integer.filter(//non-obvious prime sieve)

Primes.sum()

Or lifting the anonymous filter to primes()-filter:

Integers.primes().sum()

If you don't understand "why something works" then you will certainly not be able to answer "why it doesn't work".

Every high level library is an abstraction and abstractions are leaky.

I'm not saying you have to be able to write assembly by hand. I'm saying you should understand why your code runs 10x slower in docker.
The no-JS problem could also be solved by some CSS instead:

script[type="text/notebook-cell"] {
display: block;
}

Which stops you from having to type out all those entities.

Once fully supported, you could even put this behind a media query (`@media (scripting: none)`) so you don't have to change the display with JavaScript after load.
I live in an apartment building. It creates shade only on the side opposite to where the sun is.

On one side there's a small park with trees that has shade all day. On the other side there are no trees so it's only shaded late afternoon.
I think for it to be a test of pure ego depletion, the thing you were unable to resist would have to be unrelated to the thing you forced yourself to do.

Whereas 'hunger' or 'I just did something healthy' could both lead one to choose post-gym pizza without needing an ego depletion concept to explain it.

Twins here. First one with suction cup, second one they went up there with the hand and forearm to catch the baby's leg and pull. Thank the appropriate deities the epidural was badly performed and my spouse was conked out of her mind (and couldn't push, hence the sucking cup...).

Twin birth is disturbing. They tell you before, but between hearing about it and living it...

Say what you mean. If you mean with some weak or atrophied muscles, say that. Don't use "civilized" to hide that fact because it means someone in good shape would be "primitive". Which means not only the choice of words is in fact classist/colonialist, it is also not a very logical statement (sorta fine on HN but sorta bad for a scientific paper). But yeah, times were different (as a statement of fact, no sarcasm).

Apparently, smokers take more sick leave days than non-smokers.

From the same report linked in this comment chain, page 53:

> As another example, the Analysis of Costs & Benefits also considers potential gains to productivity. There is sufficient evidence both in Australia and internationally to conclude that smokers take more sick leave than non-smokers. There are also academic reports that estimate the level of excess absenteeism attributable to smoking. Using these sources, and others, the Analysis of Costs & Benefits estimated productivity gains that would be realised where the tobacco plain packaging measure prevents initiation of smoking or increases the number of smokers who quit. The estimated value per working smoker avoided is $337.48 per year and the value of increased productivity per working quitter is estimated at $84.37 per year.

The report doesn't cite those studies, but here's one from Sweden:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2598486/

> Smoking was found to increase the annual number of days of absence by 10.7 compared with never smoking. Controlling for risk factors at work, and thereby accounting for some of the selection of smokers into riskier jobs, reduced the effect to 9.7 days, corresponding to 38% of all annual absences due to sickness. Moreover, controlling for health status further reduced the effect of smoking to 7.7 days. The effect of smoking on sick leave was similar for men and women.

and another from Taiwan:

https://tobaccocontrol.bmj.com/content/14/suppl_1/i33

> Using a conservative estimate of excess absenteeism from work, male smokers took off an average of 4.36 sick days and male non-smokers took off an average of 3.30 sick days. Female smokers took off an average of 4.96 sick days and non-smoking females took off an average of 3.75 sick days.

As a side note, the stark difference between those two countries in excess sick leave is the average annual days of sick leave: 25.2 in Sweden, 3.9 in Taiwan.
It's odd to me to see people who don't want to understand the next level from any current level. A front end person who doesn't care how the backend works, or a backend person who doesn't care how the database works, etc... Obviously there is only so much time in the day, but being comfortable digging down to whatever level is necessary to debug something is a valuable skill.

Not sure if it's still asked, but reminds me of a class interview question. "When a user presses a button on a web page, describe in as much detail as possible what happens."
I mean, sure, they made the urban environment better, if you don't count people being able to do things in that environment as an improvement.

In lockdown most people sat inside and went a bit crazy. That's not an improvement.
It’s what evolution looks like.

My grouchy mother in law also laments that they teach typing in school and not handwriting.

Lamentable? I guess. But it’s not realistic to hope people just learn more every generation.

Despite the tradition of “kids these days with their frameworks and libraries!” complaining, you want to see this evolution.

From an ex-obese, it's simple : do you know how much my ankle hurts? I had a cyclop eye that blocked ankle movement, the surgical operation wasn't fully reimbursed (only 70%) and I had basically no money. I couldn't do my usual job because my ankle was hurting, tried to become a youth camp director, took CS classes for a month because summer camp with computers was the future, liked it, studied for 3 years, sitting in front of a cumputer all day (away from the were the only sport I could do with my ankle, kayaking, was), became even more obese, but richer, and operated my ankle. As that time, I was so fat my thighs rubbed on each other with each movement, walking more than 15 minutes wasn't possible without scarring them (I also had a bad case of HPV at the time, which didn't help). I ate healthy food, but too much. A coworker told me about 'learning to accept the hunger' by fasting (under supervision). I did that. The second day was the worst, but after the 5 days fast I understood that being hungry is just a state, it doesn't mean that you need food. I'm constantly hungry after my meals nowadays, but my BMI is 25-26, and my waist to hip ration < 1 (not healthy yet, but still). I couldn't really do any decent walking before my BMI was under 28, but now I'm hiking regularly (still have ankle braces on my left foot though).

If I wasn't lucky enough to have a good pre-college education, I wouldn't have learned CS, and without money and contacts outside my family (I was ashamed of what I became), pretty sure I would have stayed obese. It was 90% luck, 10% effort.

[edit] for the 'obese should just walk crowd' : did you ever walk so much, blood soaked up your boxers and pants? My ankle was hurting so much man, but the worst was the dampness caused by the blood. Twice a week, for a month. Lost 200g. My inner thighs are reddish-brown because if the scar tissues. Only solution is eating less, but when you've learned all your life to eat till you aren't hungry, what can you do?
It could be happening on it's own as well though. We have all of these restrictions here in Europe and yet double the people smoke than in US.
That's the point.. the whole tuna will most likely send you to eternal sleep
Oh I get that.

Sometimes people mix up simple with familiar, easy, or shallow. They expect that they won’t have to learn anything or that understanding should come without effort. Unfortunately this is not the case.

I often use the word sufficient in place of simple when trying to convert this to an audience that isn’t familiar with the subject matter. It’s as simple as one can make it without waving our hands about the essential complexity of the problem itself.

The proof of Cantor’s theorem is conceptually simple but there are plenty of people who cannot appreciate it because they understand little enough maths. And yet the theorem serves as a basis for more interesting theorems and practical applications.

I also try to avoid the use of the term, over-engineering. I find it is often thrown around too easily and used derogatorily.
I upvoted you because I'm hoping for the same thing. At the very least they can make it somewhat possible. Someone just needs to try it.
Now edited ... thank you.

The compiler was from a limited subset of TRS-80 BASIC to Z80. It was written in its own subset, so it could compile itself.

I had 16K of RAM, and that had to fit the BASIC source, the compiled version, and then that compiled version compiled the BASIC source to another compiled version in a different location, which could then be saved on tape.

Interesting times, and so foreign to today's experiences that it's hard for people to follow the details. I could write it up, but I'm pretty sure no one would derive any value from reading it. I sometimes wonder if the hand-written syntax flow charts and first draft are still somewhere in my piles of undiscarded papers. I doubt it ... it as 1979 when I was doing it, and I've moved continents since then.
Their CEO made a post[1] on Twitter claiming to have invented "the world's first commercially usable 32K long-context open-source LLM", which IMO is pure hyperbole.

It looks like the first OSS 13B Llama 2 based 32k token context model[2], but the first OSS and commercially usable 32k token context model was a 7B Llama 2 based model[3] from Together AI, who beat them by about a week[4].

Running 10k a day is definitely not the norm, most people don't even walk 10k a day.

Even then, sitting 8h a day in front of a computer is a quite modern plague and the root cause of most "back pain" issues (an insanely prevalent issue, even just counting medically reported cases) because of core atrophy.

>Do you know what is the most uncomfortable position for labour is? Yeah, layin on your back.

My wife and I were shocked when we had our first. We were recommended a "natural birth" course that taught us this, and everyone gave us crap about being "woo-woo" and "denying science".

Everyone.

We also had to forcibly tell doctors "no" to forceps, pumps, drugs, and all the interventions. They made such a big deal about being two days past the due date, that they pulled her aside and asked if I was abusive.

The birth of our first was not too difficult (her words), she did it her way, listened to his she was feeling, followed her gut, and I just had to run interference.

Doctors and nurses make a big deal about things like "the cord is wrapped around the neck" when the baby isn't even using its throat to breathe yet. It still has the cord for everything they need.

Now we're having a second and we're gonna go home birth. The morphology scans can't seem to decide if we're at 18 weeks or 19 weeks. Due dates my ass.
You can ditch the AWS part actually. I was originally planned to query the API directly from the Pico W. However the performance was not good.

> Hell, if the Chinese government wants to pay me I’ll go take a boat off the coast of Fukushima and collect some water samples for them myself.

How can they verify whether you actually took the sample from the coast of Fukushima then or not? wink

But seriously, yes, independent groups can take and measure samples and alram in advance. Alas, many such alarms tend to be ignored. Jurisdictions matter here, and there is a reason that Japan didn't try to dump all the wastewater until South Korea (among others) somehow changed the opinion.
I think the point is that if you don't walk 10k per day it doesn't make you "civilized". It just makes you a person who doesn't walk 10k per day. No judgement required

I like that it's trying to be a faster Node, and the better native database drivers etc. Having a decent package manager alongside is also nice but anything else makes me question the long term vision/feasibility of Oven and Bun's maintenance.
