I am so conflicted on this! On the one hand, I fucking love it. Who hasn't experienced a backlog grooming session where you know it's impossible to reach the end of the backlog and you just sort of go along with the process of scraping from the top. There's definitely something miserable about that feeling.

On the other hand, it's not like the issues are gone, they're just tagged differently, and if everything is just tags and organization then why not go with the flow rather than exerting control in an attempt to achieve this pseudo-perfect empty issue list. There's gotta be benefit in keeping those notes around and visible, right? Sort of feels like deciding to throw something out of your house while deep in a cleaning spree even though your subconscious is (reasonably) nagging at you to hold onto it because you might need it in the future.

On the whole I think I'm for it, though, if anything just for the cathartic release and presumed re-invigoration towards new issues.
As part of the settlement with the US over the emissions scandal, Volkswagen agreed to invest in developing Electrify America.

What they did was to subcontract with multiple vendors who could not agree on integrating their sloppy systems, so we ended up with unreliable EV charging stations running on different hardware and software managed by multiple companies with complete lack of oversight by the federal government who now wants to throw another $100M at it so the money can be stolen again.
Instead of the US three-letter agencies having everyone's location, friend groups, bio-metric info, personal photos, etc.. via Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, etc.. ByteDance was getting all the data and sharing with the CCP.

So Trump and others tried to ban it or make ByteDance sell the app to a US company.

Honestly, I was kind of okay with that. As much as I hate western governments spying on us, I hate that fascist and communist countries like China, NK, and many places in the middle east literally act to ban, imprison or 'disappear' millions of it's own people that have tried to speak again the party lines.

Maybe one day even the western countries will do this. Governments are hands down the leading cause of death in the world.
> Vendors would love to accept a payment method with the transaction fees of Bitcoin Cash instead of the transaction fees of Visa and MasterCard.

Vendors love to accept what their customers pay them with.

Bitcoiners, etc still regularly post Twitter and forum posts when they find some random mom and pop store somewhere that actually takes BTC. Literally on the frontpage of the reddit bitcoin sub right now:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/16k82kk/bitcoin_ac...

YES! So much adoption it's still a novelty worth putting on the internet!

If customers were asking to pay with BTC they would figure out a way to take it. Except customers don't so they don't because other than a tiny number of crypto zealots this space isn't anything other than something you gamble with.
I concur there's obvious bloat and unnecessary cruft but also:

- Most text is now utf-8/Unicode, which requires at last 2x memory for the same text length in comparison with ASCII/ISO-8859.

- As others have said, code is 64-bit now, which multiplies the space and memory which used to be required by 32- or 16-bit apps.

- The relentless, unyelding and unforgiving pressure to produce results quickly under insane constraints discourages or forbids any kind of optimization. Now you just put your interpreted code with an Electron platform and call it an app.
Ah, that is indeed a big difference. Thank you for clarifying!
Startup.com was great. I've also heard good things about Valley of the Boom. And, while not exactly a dot com movie, Pirates of Silicon Valley is a classic about the Jobs vs Gates rivalry.

To be honest, if that's the notation, i will not be very eager to jump on cpp23. That said, I admire people who's minds stay open for c++ improvements and make that effort.
Visited my 93yo father in the hospital today, who struggled to recover after a surgery and remembered that a book called 'My Friend Mr Leakey' was his favourite book as a child. I brought it along and read it to him aloud. Magical stories, like Roald Dahl, but all with scientific backgrounds of chemistry, physics and biology.
Amazing stuff. My father lit up and talked about JBS Haldane's background at UCL, which his father had rebuilt after the war.
Back home I started reading more about him and am purely amazed at this polymath's creative thinking in all matters.

Without throwing around insults that are out of place on HN, I think the GP's position is fairly straightforward, at least as I understand it.

Software developers have a tendency to call themselves "engineers" based loosely on what they do (software engineering, or at least development) rather than based on them holding an engineering degree and/or professional designation. I'm neither a software dev nor an engineer, and I initially found it confusing when I'd come to a forum like this and see people say "I'm a software engineer" or "I work as a software engineer for X" without actually having any of the aforementioned credentials.

In contrast, I don't think people are so blase about using the term "engineer" casually in other contexts, or even other areas of engineering. Folks calling themselves mechanical engineers, or electrical engineers...actually are engineers. As for the example you gave of a "car doctor", it is evident that people might use the term "doctor" in such a way as to show they're not actually doctors, which is not the case in the present context. I don't see mechanics referring to themselves as just doctors, or describing what they do with cars as medicine.
When Uber started it was black cars only. Very, very different experience.
No, your point is wrong.

Jurisprudence is about establishing consistent interpretations of those words. The point of "legal certainty" is that an ordinary citizen can predict what will and won't be judged fair and reasonable. "Courts have ruled" is what you go by. The Supreme Court in whatever country is the final judge of that.

If your point is that it's inconsistent, that's trivially true. Human beings are involved.

After this exchange, I thought of a use that's been reduced to one syllable: FRAND, for "fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory."

One interesting aspect of this is pair programming. I have noticed that sometimes even little ol' me can't focus enough while sharing a screen.

Frankly, I am not completely sure why that happens. Sure, trying to keep a conversation going is not free in terms of attention, but I have caught myself more than once just wanting to end the session so that I can do totally stupid things for a couple of minutes. Now, why would I prefer that, unless I am somewhat shy of showing weakness or something
wow. This is incredible for multiple reasons.

I've seen apps that somehow read what looks like an ecg from the h10, so maybe there's further pretty pictures to be made. Not sure why they'd be helpful, but this is certainly cool to look at.

It's amazing how much information this device throws off, and it all usually gets simplified down to Heart Rate only.

Thanks at the very least for a sample project that I can use to mess with some data acquisition in the future.
Suppose you have two points, X and Y, each distance d from some origin O. At time 0, some light is emitted from O towards both X and Y. The earliest it can arrive at either of them is time d/c, where c is the speed of light in a vacuum.

If you want the light to arrive at different times you can either do something to make the paths different lengths, or to make the speed of light different on the two paths, or both. You can't make the speed faster than c on either of the paths but you can make it slower by making the light go through something with an index of refraction greater than 1.

Now suppose you've got some thing that you have built to process light, and you care about the differences in arrival time of the light to different parts of the thing. There's probably going to be some part of your thing that it makes the most sense to use as a reference, and then describe light arrival times elsewhere relative to that reference point.

There's usually no particular reason to pick as the reference the point on your thing that light first reaches. If you do indeed pick a reference that is not the earliest place of contact with the light, then you can have light arrive earlier at other parts of your thing.
This is very useful, thanks!
I get something similar in that I start to feel a tiredness come on about 2-5 mins before I start to get gas pains. If I don't help that gas along (by moving or pushing on my stomach) in short order, it turns into me needing to run for the toilet. It's as if the trapped gas, left untreated, triggers a rapid digestive emptying. Or, the cases where I can receive the gas, there's no other contents in the way. The cases where I can't relieve it, well, there's lots of stuff in the way.

Anyways the thing is that I get super tired before the pain in my stomach is even noticed. I've become attuned to it where it now gives me anxiety when it comes on.
Regex vs loops and splits sounds like a classic case for a divide and conquer pattern. Use simple maybe trivial regexes for everything you can, but split the entire whole into simple bits using loops and splits. But there's no way I'm top 1% - maybe top 20% in my prime on a good day :-)
It’s funny how irrational haters become the best defenders of a technology because they attract other irrational haters that say the dumbest things, simply correcting the second group makes the first person a teacher who is contributing to the technology and its improvements or the community of people willing to improving it.
> This is the reason why you can't (without a wildcard cert)

Guess being security conscious pays off, as testing those on some domains I have, they only managed to show what I want to show, since wildcard will just mask them.

That being said, I don’t think anyone should consider a subdomain as a hidden thing, it’s an address after all and should not be considered hidden, assume it’s accessible or put it behind a FW or VPN and have a proper authentication, security by obscurity never works.
We started sentence diagramming well before high school. Maybe 5th grade? This was Fairfax County, VA in the 80s and 90s (I finished HS in ‘95). It was also an honors/gifted curriculum, so I can’t speak to what mainstreamed students were taught.

You'll see those things! We already have DLSS, for instance. But unfortunately we can't simply glue expensive black boxes onto games and ship them. Wrangling performant, richly interactive media is difficult enough without these models. This modern ML + gaming fusion space is barely in its infancy. We need to explore what's practical, and discover patterns to do it.

Even without further breakthroughs, the next 5 to 10 years will be incredible. I'm so excited.

How do you calculate HRV from the series of heart rates? Is it taking the min and max from the latest cycle?
It's kind of hard for it to be. If the only software projects that existed were the elite hyperefficient ones, the ten guys who ran them could just meet up every year for a key signing party - no need for a scalable service to automatically issue them security certificates.

Computers being commoditized means the median project is very low-value, but it also means there are millions of cool projects out there.

Any consideration or proposal on subjects to be taught in school should start from the observation that the median student in a public school can, a year after the end of high school, read proficiently at most what is offered in middle school, can do sums and subtractions, and certainly cannot do anything with angles, sine and cos, and you get the idea.

So, the answer to the question "why doesn't school teach [writing, taxes, fiscal responsibilities, civic duties, the law, etc.]?" can be found in the capability and ambition of the median student. And 50% of students are worse than the median student.

This applies to regular public schools, private schools or programs for gifted students have different scopes and expected quality of students.

Well if the average is quite low, being above average might not have much of an ROI.

Being a strong writer is incredibly valuable, marketable, and in my experience a pre-requisite for success in the "knowledge economy" (outside of some people that are able to get by on deep technical skills alone).

Scientists Have Spent 40 Years Trying to Understand Salt
This blog post illustrates the problem it purports to discuss.

The “in medias res” lede is gratuitous. The headline does not name the real actor.

The fact is that some teachers and schools teach writing well, and many don’t.

You don’t have to have something to say to start writing. You just have to look at things and describe what you see. If you do that long enough, eventually you will see things others don’t, and that will be your something to say.

Reading deep and wide and well is a precondition of good writing. The culture of literacy is in decline during this age of the image. That’s one of many reasons why Americans may write worse than they once did.

Yep it's taking the difference between peaks and troughs in heart rate, for plotting with the breathing rate it looks at the min and max over the breathing cycle.

Does `std::format` still use locales under the hood like `std::stringstream` does?

I never liked lodash, even when when it was new. These days I just laugh when people tell how great it is.

Useful? Sure. But if you care about performance and simplicity, just spend a day or two writing your own versions of the things that you need. Or, if rolling home made is not to your liking, go with ramda.

Edit: downvote vall you want but at least have a look at lodash internals just in case. What an overcomplicated mess. It's old, really old.
Absence of evidence is most is definitely evidence of absence, even if it isn't absolute proof. Or rather, failing to find evidence that a hypothesis would predict to exist is evidence that the hypothesis is incorrect. You can't absolutely prove a negative, but every time you fail to substantiate evidence for the positive counter claim, your certainty of the negative claim should asymptotically approach 1. And eventually you should be satisfied with the body of evidence and move on to ask different questions.

For that matter, I suppose you can't absolutely prove a positive either, for the reasons Descartes described; you can't prove the nonexistence of an omnipresent demon who adjusts your sensory information at just the right time and in just the right ways to make you believe something other than the truth. Still we hazard coming to conclusions and change our minds when the time comes.

It can when the competitors are dead, and the patron yanks all funding and support from the project.

Most polymers are made from really simple monomers. Just snip the "poly" from common plastics' name, look up the molecule, and what can be used as feedstock to produce it.

Turning heavier carbon compounds into such lighter molecules (eg. through "cracking") is a staple of oil refineries & chemical industry.

So yeah, when gasoline goes out of fashion we'll still be able to use all of oil that's pumped up for those other uses like plastics. And thus less oil will be pumped.

But alternatives come online too. Bio-based plastics are a thing, many paints are water based these days (even for exterior woodwork), fossil based solvents are being replaced with more benign chemicals in many household products, etc.

I chose them mostly based on pedigree, reputation, and vibe. For OCaml in particular, I have been listening to Jane Street's Signals & Threads podcast, and I figure that if these incredibly smart and accomplished people really like OCaml, it must be pretty cool and worth checking out.

Elixir was also something that seemed interesting. I like that it has a focus/specialty (real-time, highly concurrent systems), and its specialty is relevant to several of my interests.

> I looked at Haskell and read Learn You a Haskell and did some Exercism exercises but never got anywhere close to being able to use it for real projects. Have been trying to learn about Lisp lately and feel like I've come to a similar dead end.

> On the other hand, both Go and Rust have felt fulfilling and practical, with static typing and solid tooling, cross compilations, static binaries, and dependency management that is just a huge breath of fresh air coming from python.

If I was going to start a startup, or was tasked with building a new service at an existing company, Go would be my leading candidate. However, I view that choice as simply very practical; it's a reliable language that is in widespread production use, performs well, etc. But this is more about interest/fun. I haven't written much Go, but insofar as I have, I found it very tedious and somewhat awkward. And it's not a functional programming language, as far as I am aware.

Yeah, candle is pretty cool, and is one reason why Rust was also a candidate for me. Dropped it out of consideration because I basically am not motivated by any of the things that, to my understanding, motivate Rust, such as low memory footprint.
