When I was looking for work back in 2016 there was a company who advertised their way of working as "infrared", if I remember correctly. It was all about total openness and autonomy. For example, they asked one employee to decide how many hours everyone should work per day, and they decided on something, which was then applied company-wide. This was apparently "democracy in action". Quite odd. I think they've since dropped that whole thing.

It's not a forever solution and you do eventually have to form better eating habits to maintain your new weight but being overweight is so damaging to your body that it's not worth the fight if you've been trying and failing to lose weight via the usual channels.

Ask HN: Fan-in pattern in JavaScript, ts-chan docs, feedback requested
Hey HN,

Based on feedback on my last post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38156519

I've been working on better documentation and examples, aimed at JavaScript developers without significant knowledge of concurrency-related patterns.

The first pattern I've covered is "fan-in". Aside from a side-by-side comparison, in the pattern doc linked in the question, I also implemented an example of the pattern, a "log aggregator", which multiplexes (TCP) log streams, formatting and writing out lines to a file. Details in the example readme: https://github.com/joeycumines/ts-chan/blob/main/examples/pa...

I'd appreciate it if you could let me know what you think, and if this is a step in a helpful direction.

Thanks :)
> I don't recall the judiciary sanctioning indiviuals in the executive branch

I deprecate early returns (at least for happy cases). What article are you referring to?
There's going to be a bunch of missing info, though, in some cases I can think of. For example, more and more systems have asymmetric cores. /proc/cpuinfo can expose that information in detail, including (current) clock speed, processor type, etc, while cpu_set is literally just a bitmask (if I read the man pages right) of system cores your process is allowed to schedule on.

Fundamentally, intelligent apps need to interrogate their environment to make concurrency decisions. But I agree- Go would probably work best if it just picked a standard parallelism constant like 16 and just let users know that can be tuned if they have additional context.
The discussion was about welfare, it’s childish to complain that I didn’t constantly refer to it.

Ultimately the difference doesn’t matter much, governments are capital too in countries where the ruling class is capitalists. What they are forced to spend to reproduce the working class is still for their own profits. Governments aren’t some thing separate from class society.

On the engineering side, ideally this is how things are done anyway.

I've never had a problem digging into the ideas presented by engineers more senior than me, and I've always encouraged junior engineers to question any ideas I present.

Everyone, independent of seniority, is blind to giant gaping flaws in their own ideas. People also don't know what they don't know. If I have a gap in my knowledge, any plans I come up with are not going to take what I don't know into consideration if I don't know that I don't know something.

That attitude definitely benefits those who like the status quo. I think the "burden of proof", if such a thing exists, is on the position with the least prior evidence. That something is the status quo is pretty weak evidence in its favor; I can point to many instances in human history where the status quo was pretty awful.

> if spying stopped wholesale

Strawman. I never said spying should be "stopped wholesale". Never anything even remotely close to that, in fact. I'm not responsible for defending a position you completely fabricated.

> I don't give a solitary care about the spying a foreign government does ... I care about what it does with that intel, but that is completely separate

I don't believe the gathering of intelligence is "completely separate" from acting on that intel. I don't believe the accumulation of guns and ammunition is "completely separate" from the act of using those guns. I don't believe the enrichment of weapons-grade uranium is "completely separate" from building an atomic bomb. I don't believe building an atomic bomb is "completely separate" from using it.

> No, that isn't the job of spies, they gather intelligence. You are confusing other government actions with spying.

"Spies don't kill people, bullets kill people. Actually, bullets don't kill people, a rapid transfer of momentum from the bullet to the human body kills people. Actually, momentum doesn't kill people, a rapid loss of blood from the resulting tissue damage kills people. You are confusing human physiology with spying." Right: nobody is ever responsible for anything.

So basically they've been printing money and giving it to institutions who serviced reckless people who took on debts that they could not afford and did not repay. Guess who ended up paying for that? Every decent person who did the right thing; tax payers, salary earners (through devaluation of their salary contracts via inflation), those who did pay back their debts.

Then you wonder how all these reckless people ended up in positions of power.
The SEC investigated them a long time ago and determined that their trades were legitimate but just done in convoluted ways. There is a recent NYT piece that covers it. There's a new book about Bridgewater coming out so that's why there are so many articles about them recently.

I’m not sure you read my comment the way I intended it or the way others seem to have.

While I must have communicated something poorly, there’s no denigration of individual spiritual seeking intended. I’m one of those people myself.

But there’s a whole different experience of “religion” that exists for people whose religion is integrated across generations of family history, centuries old cultural institutions, widespread adoption, etc

What might seem calcified and orthodox to you is the lived experience of millions of people, and their ancestors, and their community. Their relationship with that community and heritage is real and meaningful, and while your understanding of Buddhism may not be able to make sense of looking after these monks and the respect they’re seen as due, theirs does.

That doesn’t mean that your understanding is lesser, in what it provides for you, or maybe even its attention to the “essence” of Buddhism, but theirs is of a different kind and no less studied.

Usually it is the way of breathing that changes, because of anxiety (fight or flight state). The pace and volume becomes imbalanced with respect to the oxygen / co2 needed, even when no hyperventilating seems to be happening. This imbalance causes lightheadedness and ultimately dizzyness or passing out.
One trick that can help, when you feel like that, breathe in deeply and the breathe out very very slowly through a fine opening between the lips. Then pause several seconds and repeat. This can be done without anyone noticing, because it is subtle and slow.
That might have be more helpful if it was clear that there is actually anything like thinking going on in GPT-4, but to the extent there is I don't believe it's a good analogy for EU-the-organization.

It's multiple regular humans doing regular human thinking (in various quantities) and otherwise acting, and interacting, subject to social pressures.

Calling that an organization thinking might be a convenient shorthand, but as I far as I'm concerned the utility stop right there, and forgetting that it is merely a shorthand is potentially badly misleading (which, I take it, was one major point of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38182349 )

You're correct on all accounts, save for my optimism.

> A good example is that when it was proposed that one should be able to transfer their account number to another bank (as telecoms have to do for phone numbers here in Finland at least), the bank lobbyists said this is technically impossible, which is of course ridiculous.

This comparison doesn't make a ton of sense. Of course you can transfer your phone number - every phone number is mandated to be unique across all carriers. Bank account numbers are entirely internal to each bank and made up based on various arbitrary factors. What if the bank you want to move to already has an account with the same number as your account at your existing bank? How would that work?
