Yeah these same things exist in most American cities, especially in the West. But a big difference in America is the population density. America is almost all empty. Yeah, Europe has a lot of sparse areas, but remember that the landmass of America (contiguous) is 8e6 km^2 while Europe is 10e6 km^2 while US has that between 350m people and Europe between 750m people. Lose 4e6km2 and 143m people if you want to remove Russia (which itself is sparse, a bit more than the US). I'm saying this because what happens in the US around transportation infrastructure is going to be __substantially__ different than what happens in Europe. There's always people saying "well Europe does X why can't the US" but you can't drive for 10hrs in Europe without passing through a major city while you can do that in just Texas[0]

That's why I specified the middle of nowhere ones as the "interesting" ones. The mall one, like Norway, was explicitly stated.

Crockford base32 works, doesn't it?
No, Coca-Cola also reached a peak in 1998 that it didn't surpass until 2014, and calling that the "Internet Bubble" is definitely wrong.

I'm just saying that the 'Dotcom Bubble' is wildly misremembered. It was a broad market bubble with media coverage of the Internet.

EDIT: To add to the point. The companies you cite are 'picks and shovels' companies (don't even get me started there - what's the biggest pick and shovel company? the phrase should be 'jeans, coffee and banks'). There was certainly a 'picks and shovels' bubble that Nvidia may very well repeat, but the Internet was/has always been a good investment.

> This solution uses the human-readable base58 encoding scheme.

How readable is base58 in Arabic or Chinese? I've concluded that only the standard numbers 0123456789, algebra symbols +-/*= and phone symbols #* are universal enough for a global encoding. Any other insights are welcomed!
These old standards ARE heavily structured data, despite what their formatting or lack of punctuation suggests.

> So maybe the point where we disagree is that I literally believe that e.g. a person who has been born with a dark skin has the right not to be discriminated against — and that it is the job of a government to ensure that these rights are not violated by others.

You don't have a right to not be offended. If someone wants to write an op-ed about why a certain group of people are awful and someone wants to publish that then so be it. The government's job isn't to make sure someone has hurt feelings.

Everyone else will condemn them and they'll be marginalized for it and life will go on.

Now, if someone wanted to open a public business and not allow a certain group of people allowed in to shop then the government can step in. That's not speech but rather discrimination.

People mentioned the white coat syndrome, but that's not the only issue.

I am not nervous when they measure my blood pressure, but I might have been late to my doctors appointment, so of my 25 min walk to the doctor, I was running half of it. I had non-optimal blood pressure values at the doctor, because I was running not to miss the appointment, and as I arrived, I had to immediately go get my BP checked.

After the incident, I religiously measured my BP at home various times a day for a week and my numbers looked okay.
Right. (I was actually coming back to edit my post to acknowledge that you said that.) But...

We can't actually do that right now.

When can we? 10 years? With all the combines, and all the tractors, and all the semis having to be electric? Can we even do it then? We maybe can in 20...

If it's 20 years from now before we can do it, that's not "right now".

The problem with the way you said it is that it makes it sound like we could do it now (for reasonably normal values of "now"). We can't.
> Even if you think you’re happy, if you find yourself opening the emails, it’s likely you’re reaching the end.

Strongly disagree with this. It's when I'm happiest that I open the most recruiting emails because I have the energy to follow through and really vet the new opportunities. It's the time when I need to be sold on the new job rather than just looking for any port in the storm.

Not speaking to law, but in principle this seems like a case-by-case decision that (in the US) I would expect a judge to make. I would expect a competent judge to weigh the societal cost of the crime vs the probability of re-committing it vs the rights of the accused to a presumption of innocence.

For violent crimes it swings pretty hard on the societal cost of the crime (but maybe be mitigated if the crime was one of passion or if the motive was clear and not likely to result in a re-commission).

For jaywalking it swings pretty hard in the other direction.

For crimes where there is a victim but no violence, it would depend on the specifics of the case in question.

The rise of the FIRE sector (finance, insurance, and real estate) to become the largest sector in the US economy (22+%) coincides with an increase in proportion of private R&D expenditure compared to government expenditure. In 2010 businesses spend $248 billion on R&D while the government spent $126 billion. In 2021 that number was $587 billion compared to $153 billion. In other words, the share of Business R&D went from 66% of R&D spend to about 80%.

The reason this is not a good trend is that the KIND of R&D businesses do vs government are very different. Government invests in basic research and invention while business invests in innovation.

Less money is going into science and more into squeezing money out of people via innovation. I would argue this is because the sector that makes all the important decisions is now the FIRE sector, which only thinks about the next quarter.

Back in the WinForms era of .Net, I got the impression that anything you could write in VB you could write in nearly-identical-line-for-line C# (minus the language syntax differences).

Once it became just a subset of C# with different syntax, I suppose it had little reason to exist because nothing made it special anymore.

One thing I find interesting is the "please don't back this up" mentality of some of the older gray area content.

I get it, you don't want (bigcorp, chinese clones, etc) causing you problems. But when you die, what happens? Who's going to be there to pick up the parts?

I feel like so many things should get hucked right onto Internet Archive as soon as someone says "please, no, don't" just out of pure self preservation.

As noted on an earlier HN submission about typeid, K-sortable only matters to distributed DBs, and things get tricky there. Spanner for example says to use deliberately unsorted primary keys.

I really think when you're picking PKs, you should simply use whatever the DBMS recommends for performance. It's not the PK's job to be typed, sequenced, human-readable, or anything like that; that can be handled by other cols and logging rules. Its job is to be fast in those joins you'll constantly be making against it.
Excel is a quite powerful mix of declarative programming (formulas in cells), and imperative programming (VBA procedures, event triggers, etc). If you're not ready for it, it'll break your brain.

The main danger in Excel is that any area of a sheet can be treated as a pseudo table.... except it really isn't, and you can inadvertently sort some fields, while leaving the others alone, effectively scrambling your data.

Honestly, seems like you have a bias. If you're timing yourself you're biasing yourself to be faster. So incorporate higher variance into your model and assume you're on the lower end of at least that 1std deviation.

And again, I'm considering a long trip as multi-day 8hr+ driving. Your legs just don't last that long. First day is usually fine. Second if you're seasoned. Beyond that is where it gets real hard.

From what I've seen, it's usually read at the vblank interrupt.

The input recording has entries in format "<instruction_number> <buttons_bitmask>". If I press a button and it's read from the hardware register after let's say 0x1000 instructions have been stepped, it is stored as "0x1000 0x80", and in the Ghidra emulator script, I only need to count up to 0x1000 instructions before I send that memory write to the other emulator. While the real timings are vastly different, the input will be read after roughly the same number of vblank calls. I say "roughly" because indeed I found a differential on the expected call where it should be read, but it isn't yet clear if that's a logic bug on my side, I'll have to eventually look into it again.
The overflowing text isn't actually stored in the adjacent cells, it's just displayed on top of them. The difference is important.
The article lays out a factual description of the detention law, and lays out the description of the so-far detained members of the group, but fails to connect the two. Nothing in the police report indicates that the law was applied, just a reference to the district court extending the detention period, but no link or reference to the specifics of whether the district court applied the law.

I don't know if the German press is held to different standards than the US press, but in the US this would set off red flags for me because it makes a very strong implication without explicitly stating it and provides no evidence for the implied connection.

Every system I've ever made has better error reporting that that one. Even those that only I use.

I then use that system throughout development such that it works very well in production. I'd love to talk to the people who made the system discussed in the article. Is one of them reading this? Can you explain how come this problem reported itself so badly?

Thanks for linking that -- it's a rigorous study for what it attempts.

However, there are two fatal flaws. The first it that it neither controls for nor even measures the glycemic index of the two diets, and the second is that it neither controls for nor even measures the vitamins and minerals in either diet.

The major critique around dividing foods into "unprocessed" vs. "ultraprocessed" is that high-GI foods like rice and raisins are considered unprocessed, while lower-GI foods like pasta (and zero-GI foods like hamburger patties) are considered ultra-processed. And in this study, the authors could assemble whatever GI they wanted for each diet, and never revealed it.

But there's a clue -- in the study, the additional calorie intake and weight gain in the "ultraprocessed" diet is entirely consistent with a vastly higher GI of that diet, which is almost certainly indicated by the nearly doubled non-beverage energy density (2.147 vs 1.151, Table 1).

Which means the study is actually entirely consistent with the idea that higher-GI foods lead to weight gain, and that "ultraprocessing" itself is entirely irrelevant.
