> When prices change, people change the shelf label

This isn't free. That's someone's time and energy spent on something I, as the consumer, don't care about. Why? I'd much rather have that person available to help, ready at the counter or frankly at home or in a park enjoying their life.

What has meaning for you doesn't for me. I don't value having a precise price at selection versus purchase. At all. Like most Americans. That doesn't mean I don't see the value in your argument, just that I reject it as something that matters to me.

> What seems 'bonkers' to you has been standard practice in most of the world for decades

Not remotely comparable in terms of rulebook complexity. Also, income: if you want to find tax-inclusive round pricing in America, go to impoverished neighborhoods. There, every nickel counts and folks pay cash--it makes sense to spend the effort to precisely message pricing ex ante.

Also, in most of the world posted prices either aren't a thing or are completely negotiable. Haggling at the point of sale isn't a thing in day-to-day America.
Here's a comment from their team about this:

https://github.com/prisma/prisma/discussions/4617#discussion...

Tl;dr it's a design decision, not everyone (including me) agrees.
Historically Computer Science was often more associated with mathematics in academia than it was with electrical engineering--depending upon the school. Today, most people would probably agree that it's mostly an engineering discipline, albeit perhaps lacking some of the formal methods and practices that other branches of engineering tend to have. But it was presumably less clear when the term was coined in the early 1960s.
Parks and Recreation, The Vampire Diaries and Modern Family all started in 2009. I blame it on Obama because he was President at the time.

It makes one wonder where all of them would have been if John McCain had won the election.
> Also, manufacturers could have made the connectors in a way that would clearly show which side is the top and which is the bottom

The spec almost requires manufacturers to do that. https://fabiensanglard.net/usbcheat/usb1.1.pdf, page 81:

“The usb icon is embossed, in a recessed area, on the topside of the USB plug”

“Receptacles should be oriented to allow the Icon on the plug to be visible during the mating process”

So, there must be a tactile and visual indicator (the recessed usb icon) and it should be visible.

They didn’t say “clearly visible”, though.
That's why geocoding is HARD. Try "3 Adne Edle Street, London" on Bing maps, Google Maps, Openstreetmap, Geocode.xyz - and more.

Or even better, try "Minus Two, Woodend Lane, Cam, Stroud"

No two geocoding services agree on the correct answer.
Hi, then a database is not much more than an indexed file system (sort of). I'll check out your link in a bit more detail, thanks.

I wasn't expecting it to be multiple user, I assumed single use only which seriously simplifies some aspects (lock the world, do stuff, unlock). To support transactions you'll need a write ahead log and recovery to preserve data through crashes/power loss – that's not trivial. Still, good luck.

Regarding your processor, I like the idea of a very simple process are easy to produce. I haven't looked at what you're suggesting but perhaps instructions on making a full-sized one out of discrete components might be worthwhile? There are a few projects online (I haven't been able to find them but I seem to remember a 6502 made by hand the size of a mattress). While this would only run at a few kilohertz, it's better than no computer at all and useful for bootstrapping to something smaller, and possible if you've got no VLSI or anything similar. An even simpler processor might be possible. Sorry if you've already considered this, it was just a thought.
>I haven't seen any convincing arguments that it does in humans.

.NET and EF Core is the platform that most teams probably want but .NET and C# can't quite shake it's pre-Core image.

It always strikes me as odd that teams can embrace GitHub, TypeScript, and VS Code and then react negatively to C# and .NET being Microsoft platforms.

EF Core is perhaps the most powerful, most mature ORM at this point. .NET Web APIs are incredibly productive and performant with really good DX. C# isn't that far off from TypeScript syntactically and structurally.

I feel like teams that are "graduating" from TypeScript on Node probably want C# on .NET but end up exploring Go or Rust instead.
Isn't CS proper (not software engineering) much more a field of math?

> I think the issue is not an objection to marketing but an objection to the inherently political nature of economics. The people who don't like the phrase Noble Prize in Economics generally don't agree with the political aspirations of neoliberal economists to shape and control global policy. There is something very troubling about the amount of power that central bankers and academics wield given how flimsy their methods are.

Show HN: Telegram bot for tracking personal and family budget
I was tired of writing down my expenses in numerous budget tracking mobile apps with all their screens, buttons, and dropdowns. That's why I built Cointry to get as simple expense recording process as possible. No UI, just pure text commands - simple and neat as "20 groceries", "+2000 freelance", "300 GBP flight to London", and even "40 beer yesterday".

Transactions are associated with correct types (expense/income), converted into your main currency (based on the rates on the day of transaction), and associated with the right date like "yesterday".

All entries are associated with categories for the first time so Cointry doesn't need to ask you to choose a category next time you provide the same command.

Another pain I solved with Cointry is collaborative usage. It's very natural to have a chat with your partner and the bot so both of you can send commands in the same chat and the bot carefully listens to everyone.

My wife and I have been using it for almost 3 years and are truly happy with it. Hope you will also find it useful.
As false war information spreads on X, Musk promotes unvetted accounts
In my case :

- I prefer functions over classes.

- no mangling of exported names, the binary is re-usable as API.

- in the long term, the C source code is more re-usable in other projects than C++ ones.

and more like this.
Right, a pseudoscience and here we have someone who won doing exclusively empirical work.

Not sure how you match those two but keep at it
If this is not done carefully, it can also be slow in some situations, even with the right indeces in place. Lets say we have the following slightly contrieved case:

organizaiton(id, name, description) -> users(id, name) -> posts(id, content) -> comments(id, userId, content)

We want to get one organization with all its users. Lets imagine our org has 100 users, each of which has 100 posts on average, each of which has 100 comments on average. In a naive, flat join, we'll be repeating the organization description column 1 million times, and each post's content about 100 times on average.

This can still be problematic without joins, as sending 1 million comment IDs in a query to the DB isn't going to work, so even the multiple queries version will need to do better than that

I have a friend who lives in a house which was knocked through from two houses. She has two addresses, either work. She also has two gas meters, two electric meters and so on, although she got those disconnected (to save on standing charges).
I would not use typedefs as this should not be in the C syntax (like enum,switch, and much more).

The primitive type names should be native, but to "fix" C I prefer using the C preprocessor (I use it for namespace/name mangling too). This is not perfect, but should be already way more than enough.

With proper preprocessor usage (without going amok), one can write one compilation unit software roughly easily.

>Or why a house in Owls Green, a village of about 20 houses near Ipswich, would be numbered 2820 (cute).

For those who aren't native British/English-speaking, this is presumably a cute reference to the village's name of *Owls* Green, since at least in the UK the onomatopoeia for one of an owl's sounds is "too-wit too-woo", to which "two-eight two-oh" is similar sounding.

Hi everyone! Have you wondered if AI can assimilate into Reddit community? Conducted a mini-experiment using LLM-based characters to navigate through subreddits, and the results were pretty interesting.
Do you know of any similar application for Windows? I'm impressed by the quality of the video and the transitions. I am using an open-source tool (ShareX), but it does not offer similar quality or features.
It's 1977 all over again. Before the next 40 years of canned application software happened, filePro and other self-serve app development systems of the time were just a database with thin skin of ui in the form of input screen designer and output print designer.

As a dentist or whatever, you just define some fields that matter to you. And that actually was enough to do most of the job anyone really needed doing.

Arguably Goldin winning for pure empirical work falls under science just as much or more than the Khaneman prize
That might not have been a symmetry problem per-say.

It could be that the phone correct determined the orientation but a pin was dirty/broken so it couldn't be used. When flipping the cable around the pin in use changes to one that isn't dirty/broken and so it works fine. USB-C may have a ton of pins but that doesn't mean all of them are needed to charge so flipping it can move a broken pin into the unused pins.
This sounds like it would be an interesting blog post.

ZeroMQ – Relicense from LGPL3 and exceptions to MPL 2.0
When you branch of from real sciences, defining a lower of bar of quality, unable to meet the standard of the established field.

Also if you branched off of social sciences some time ago and you never bothered to implement reproducibility reforms.

That's not to say all papers of such a science are garbage, just most will be, since not only is the bar for acceptance lower, those sciences also attract people who are unable to meet the standards of other fields.
Adorable? Maybe. Probably also a little bit weird. But kids are like that, they can be a bit weird sometimes. Translating square paper pixel graphics to decimal numbers and writing them down is not everyone's idea of fun.

It was during the first home computer revolution. My library had books on the subject which were intriguing, including the legendary "BASIC Computer Games". Those were written for several different computers, which didn't matter since I didn't know anybody who had them. But soon several of my friends got C64s and we could rewrite them for those.

Which was fun. Maybe not a common pastime back then but not unheard of either. Kids love to experiment and this was just one way of doing that. But it was definitively programming. There's wasn't much else to do with a home computer apart from what few games you had access to.

This reminds me, there was magazines in the regular shops which contained source code listings of programs, including simple games with graphics declared as decimal constants. Before modems that was how many people got their software. Since you had to type them in by hand, it was very natural to make modifications.

Much of theoretical computer science is math, like much of modern theoretical physics is also math. “Computational science” brings up images of computational complexity theory, computability, information theory, distributed consensus, type theory etc.

A lot of the British Overseas territories have adopted similar postcodes (e.g. ASCN 1ZZ for Ascension Island)

Although it’s disputable whether they are a part of the UK, or separate administrations that have postcodes designed to look like a UK postcode!
Design, tooling, relevance != implementation.

And not saying don't think just pointing out that careful handcrafted logic takes almost the same time to implement anyway.

Most problems are such that it's hard to know what really needs to be accounted for initially due to some janky interface or the language not behaving as you expected which can nuke the whole plan.

Writing stuff down can make you more confident about the approach and ironically lead to a dead end because you assumed everything was accounted for.

I have both the original BMPCC and the 4k Pocket. When the BRAW firmware came out (forced by RED patents - they for some obscure reason have been able to patent compressed raw video) I did extensive tests - there is no discernible difference at the higher BRAW settings. And you can always keep your old firmware or downgrade to it later - there was no crippling of units.

While I wish they would have been able to keep the compressed CDNG, BRAW is great to work with. Sigma FP (great camera too), as you mentioned elsewhere, does uncompressed CDNG. The data rates fo 4k 12bit uncompressed CDNG are pretty shocking - 2400Mbit/s. At that point you can't record it internally anymore and can only record on a fast SSD. It could be nice to have that as an option on Blackmagic cameras too, but to be honest I don't miss it since BRAW arrived - the files get huge.

It's a shame RED was awarded a patent for in-camera lossless compressed RAW video. Even Apple tried to sue them and lost.

I remapped the modifiers on my keyboard such that the bottom row is

Win - Alt - Ctrl - Space - Ctrl - Alt - Win

This is so that I can use my thumbs for Ctrl and index fingers for Alt. I taught myself to use the opposite side modifiers every time (using the right control for Ctrl-S).

This got rid of the vast majority of unergonomic keystrokes for me.

This is increasingly how exits are numbered on highways in the USA Interstate system. So exit 52 is about 52 miles from the start of the highway or the state border. It works well because exits are rarely spaced close together. And if they do need to put exits close together, usually they letter suffixes like 52A.
Without reading into the claim I’m pretty sure it’s driven by the growth of the white collar middle class. whatever growth there was in women working in factories, it was surely less than the fall in women working on farms.

> albeit perhaps lacking some of the formal methods and practices that other branches of engineering tend to have.

I'd like to point out that this depends heavily on your institution. My CS program had a class literally called "Formal methods", and every student was required to learn formal proofs before their first programming-heavy class (namely, "Data Structures I").
> I wish it could have been more science than art, but it wasn’t

There is this tendency towards scientism in digital colour theory, which sticks out because I noticed myself doing it in a related project. Nothing inherently wrong with that, but don’t forget that the science is trying to measure our perception. I don’t think we should be overly concerned if we sometimes rely more on our actual perception than an attempt to measure it.
Knex is quite different iirc.

I was saying that ORMs should make use of parsers and modern language features (such as first class functions) to offer a unified interface to collections in memory and collections in the db. Essentially treating the table as a list on which you can use operators you're already familiar with.

By doing so, your core API is timeless. Because you didn't invent an API.
Oh, that makes a huge difference, then. I had wondered why anything needed to be persistent.

Maybe surprising, how much human response can be manipulated.

Been there. Writing u8 instead of uint8_t may seem like a time saver, but in reality it makes it more difficult to read and reason about.

If you pack too much information, you are taxing your brain more, you are slower to analyse the code and you make it easier to make mistakes.

Now I much prefer code that is as verbose as possible.

Very informative report. But as per its conclusion: "subsidies could be justified to balance the existence of external costs of competing modes, e.g. when an internalisation of the externality, for whatever reason, encounters strong political opposition from vested interests. This applies to some of the subsidies for public transport, especially rail, since its competing modes, particularly road and air, have significantly higher external costs".

In other words, it makes sense to subsidize rail, it doesn't make sense to subsidize modes with higher externalities.
Ah... I didn't get it. I even put the number into Wolfram Alpha to see if it had a nice factorisation or something.
Sounds like you have some bitter personal experience with all this, I'm sorry to hear. It's hard to argue that news is toxic overall, but I think depending on your perspective, and where you get your news from, it can certainly be an unpleasant experience.

I find news tiring in all but small doses, but find that conversations like this can often be tonic. Yet in them it seem we have to talk about things that are in the news.

In another way, I'd probably rather not consume any news at all except for a strong desire to know what is happening on Earth. And what people think is happening on Earth.

I suppose I could satisfy my desires in some other ways, yet it seems so easy to get that "reward signal hit" from absorbing information. It's interesting to think if we're all like "neurons", sort of hard wired to seek gossip and "signal". As if "information" is like sugar in a way.

I feel it is unhealthy to consume news too much tho. Like scrolling through FB, or YT shorts. Somehow it seems "nutritionally empty" like "junk food". I suppose such a feeling must be commonplace in our world where we are certainly saturated with information -- at least compared to the day when the source of all gossip for the town was the general store. Haha :)
I'm trying nasal strips for snoring. The results so far are mixed - the strip reduces my snoring... while it's on. Problem is, it tends to unstick from my nose in 30-60 minutes. Even if I clean/de-oil and dry my nose immediately before application (in fact, I feel this makes the problem worse). Is there some trick to those nasal strips to ensure they stay on through the night?
