This would be a bit disappointing to me. They spent a lot of time authoring interesting and crazy utterances that were often absurd and funny in their previous games.
I thought it was DetermineFoo?

Anyway. To me, DetermineFoo doesn't sound like a getter and seems like it might even possibly mutate some states. So, I suspect creating a GetFoo would be orthogonal to deprecating DetermineFoo. This means DetermineFoo might only Get a Foo by side-effect. That's why I would probably ignore it; simply because DetermineFoo might be a better name, in my opinion.

New behaviors occur all the time in software, but it doesn't mean we need to be rigid with naming things.
Size matters. Gravity matters.

If the gas moon is not large enough, there is not enough gravity to hold the gas together, so some of it escapes, making the gas moon smaller so the gravity is even less, and so on. And so the gas moon will quickly 'evaporate' away.

That's why the Earth has an atmosphere but the Moon doesn't. Conversely, it's why the Earth can't hold on to the lighter gases like hydrogen. Not enough gravity for that one.

Yup. At my last company, Kubernetes was the only place where software was not 2+ years behind upstream because of this and I appreciate it a lot. And its API deprecation policy [1] made upgrade not so painful (if upgrades frequently break your stuff, check if your infra people really understand this policy, and your software vendors are compliant).

Yeah, the way it's setup, with the delivery company on board with stacking deliveries, and no guarantee of good service despite a good tip, there's no incentive to tip at all.
Screensavers became necessary again?
I also use an AppleTV with my Samsung TV. I did give the tv WiFi credentials so that sometimes if needed it can reach the internet (eg firwmare download), but I set up firewall rules to block all traffic for the tv in steady state.
The act of cycling shouldn't be any sort of problem. The accidents though are another story. The e-bikes are as silent as regular bikes but much faster.
Simple. Metaphysics is not math. Ethics is not math. Really, the only intersection is formal logic (until a certain German/Austrian mathematician blew it all up with his annoying theorems)
The logical reason is that if they reach the point of being safer than human drivers but we ban them for not being perfect then lives are being lost unnecessarily.
I feel the same way and it is why I moved to FreeBSD as daily driver. Very happy with it in fact.

I like it because there's much less corporate influence over it. And less need to constantly change how things work.
Improved air quality could enhance natural carbon sequestration by plants
Am I missing something, or are all these effect sizes just shockingly improbably large? "decreased the risk of all-cause mortality, CVD-related mortality, and cancer-related mortality by 23, 26 and 22 % "

1/4 drop in mortality just from fiber seems...like too much? Am I missing something subtle about how these mortality reduction effects are defined? Or perhaps these are conditional expectations but not causal effects? (Example: if eating fiber is negatively correlated with binge drinking alcohol, then P(death|fiber) probably << P(death|~fiber), but it's unclear a priori how much of that difference is due to alcohol)
The post has many links through which all the available information can be gleaned, and this is *definitely* a news item that plenty of people here would want to be aware of, even without knowing any further detail.

You're involved in this?
Why not? Lots of services are now desktop apps and since you cannot run browser adblockers on Electron apps, this is the next best thing. I also run something similar on Android so I don't see ads in apps either, not just in the browser.
you might just be sleep deprived. might want to look into that. Also, if that doesn't work, may want to try another job.
For those with a Sony Bravia panel (2015 and later I think), you can enable a pro-mode with a key combo that can turn a laggy and unusable panel into mostly a dumb display.

I used this to basically save a frustrating laggy panel.
Your mind is blown that someone might not like to watch movies at a prehistoric 24Hz on a screen that is capable of 120Hz, after video games have been running at this frame rate for a decade already?
Nice, I use AdGuard (on mobile and desktop), would this be a suitable replacement?
This. I always wonder whether the people talking about ethics in AI and what not, really understand what "AI" means in terms the current state of technology
>I've seen the Uber drivers come in. They always grab like 4 or 5 orders [from the same restaurant], and possibly drive to a 2nd or 3rd restaurant before they start delivering.

Having done Doordash/Ubereats in the past myself that is ABSOUTELY not the norm, god I wish it was that streamlined. Picking up a single order and delivering it straight to the customer is by far and away the most common scenario for the drivers.

They do have stacked orders which are the multiple pickups you're talking about, but I've never had more than 3 orders "stacked" together, and I would say it's more common to have stacked orders from multiple different restaurants rather than multiple orders from the same restaurant. And from the driver point of view stacks suck because almost always only one order in the stack will have a tip, the others will be no-tip orders they couldn't get someone else to deliver by themselves.

Doordash also recently changed how they pay out on these stacked orders to the drivers detriment. It used to be you'd get the base rate for each order in the stack, so 3 orders stacked together would be the base rate x 3 + whatever tips by each customer, but now they pay them out as one big order no matter how many orders are stacked together, so you get a single count of the base rate even if you're delivering two or more orders in a stack, which again are usually only a single order with a tip, so you're effectively delivering the other orders for free.
But I’ll add: if you think you don’t like oatmeal because packet or microwave oats aren’t doing it for you, making steel cut oats (not quick oats of any kind) in something like an instant-pot yields crave-worthy oatmeal, IMO.

1:3 ratio of steel cut oats to water, 5 minutes and natural release. I make 150g oats at a time and that yields 4 portions.

Add banana, walnuts/pecans, cinnamon, maple syrup. I wake up excited to eat them every day.
This is going to be a big step forward for women in videogames - namely, women playing them.

The story seems to be hinting at a love story between the two characters, and seems to heavily imply that co-op gaming will be a big part of the experience.

Imagine, the man who is obsessed with videogames and especially GTA, will be able to play through the whole game together with his girl. They will be, literally, partners in crime. It could inspire a brand new generation of female gamers, who never had the patience to sit through the ingenious yet childish caricature of America that the previous games ushered in.
Guess some people like to play the odds. Rather than take 50% damage, they choose to gamble between 0% damage (cover up successful) and 100% damage (cover up failed and isn’t survivable) - they are equivalent in terms of expected value.
Seems pretty clear to me. There was evidence of a crime he was being investigated for.

I think is just a personal project, at least initially.
Yep. Hate theaters for this reason. Absolutely unwatchable. My LG G3 with motion smoothing provides far better experience. Even in Avatar 2 they put some sections of it in lower frame rate for no reason and I noticed them instantly.
Static types are why I prefer C to Python.

YMMV, of course.
XSLT might have the greatest ratio of brilliance to marketing of anything in our industry.

XSLT is a pattern matching DSL for converting trees into other trees. What things are trees? Programs.

It is also XML. XML is a boring business thing for boring business people associated with legacy Java codebases. We like json here. Or maybe yaml. To quote an otherwise excellent past colleague, "the pointy brackets hurt my eyes". It's horrible to edit in notepad too.

Who wants XML syntax for a purely functional programming language? No-one wants that, we write our compilers in C++ thank you.

As a bonus extra, "XML schema" are a similarly crufty rubbish old thing in nasty XML syntax that look suspiciously like "type of that tree". So you can typecheck the intermediate IR in your compiler pipeline. If you wrote it in the bad language from the before times. Emacs knows what those schema mean too.

The world has moved on to better marketed semantically worse things with prettier syntax. This brings me joy.
>I only asked why no one can be an expert.

Other than the fact that "disinformation expert" is a fake expertise invented to facilitate fallacious appeal to authority in the void left by a distrusted press:

There are two answers to your question.

First, everyone attempts to derive the truth from imperfect information and therefore is a "disinformation expert".

There's no consistently guaranteed information access that makes any one person consistently an expert above most others, including Joe at his coffee table.

That type of access and divulsion used to be assumed of the MSM. They destroyed their trust, and so now "disinformation experts" demand that trust. Broadley speaking, they won't get it. And they shouldn't.

The second reason is that comprehensive presentation of any truthful information requires a presentation of all facts regarding it. Aside from the most mundane fact checking tasks, I've broadley observed "fact checkers" disseminating disinformation as much as the MSM does. Whether the method is lying by ommission or another.
This can add cost and latency to the change author and distracts them from the project at hand. And because it costs the reviewer basically nothing to say, "While you are in there....", it slows the original author's work.

Even worse, if there are enough of these minor changes, some other reviewer may take issue with their "small, focused changes" preference, and ask you to split it.

This is why Google has the "It doesn't have to be perfect; it just needs to be better" standard: So reviewers can't impose undue costs on authors.
Just because it's different from your personal definition doesn't mean it's meaningless.
The macOS 64-bit transition happened before steam for Mac was released. The was a single year between steam for Mac being released and 64bit hardware being a requirement for macOS.

There was never a reason for anything published in the steam store to be 32bit only.
I cannot see how that could be true.

I don't know what world you live in if you deem our current society as a perfect place. Maybe you're a billionaire?
I imagine it would be a chore for ChromeOS users to migrate to another OS and another browser, and ChromeOS has many attractive qualities.
It's a more specific definition in aviation -- think air traffic control. You need to actively make sure that there won't be any other flights near where you're intending to crash your plane which is tricky if you just bail at altitude and let it sail into terrain for YouTube.

If you want to crash a plane, you'd likely have to apply for/receive temporary flight restrictions over the area where you want to crash it so that ATC can ensure everyone else stays clear.

Some thing are objectively bad. But a lot is up to, if not subjective preferences, then at least situational ones. With modern programming languages, we're operating close to Pareto frontier in terms of expressiveness - there's just no way to make a piece of plaintext code more readable for some readers, without sacrificing readability for other readers with different goals.

Things like "lots of small functions vs. few large functions", or "exceptions vs. sum type return value", are such cases - they seem subjective, but they're less about preferences, and more about the kind of work a given reader is doing. Either choice is better than the other for some kind of work. We can't improve on this until we move past working directly on plaintext, single-source-of-truth codebases.

Plaintext is fine. Single source of truth is obviously needed. The problem is with insistence on only ever working directly on it, which leads to a futile attempt at inventing styles and languages that would express every cross-cutting concern and needs of every job in a clear and readable fashion. It's just not possible.

(And yes, I believe the bleeding edge of programming language development is effectively just spinning the wheels now - adding increasingly complex abstract math to programming languages isn't going to help square the circle.)
I doubt anyone does any jail time for stealing bread unless they are habitual offender(multiple felony convictions) or its aggravated theft(eg: by force/violence). Court cases are public so feel free to prove me wrong.
Depends how you read the line.

If you read it this way, they are the same.

> "High blood pressure may be not [be] a cause of cognitive decline, but [cognitive decline may] just [be] a consequence [of high blood pressure]."

The other interpretation makes less sense.

> "High blood pressure may be not a cause of cognitive decline, but just a consequence [of cognitive decline]."

The implication here is that cognitive decline causes high blood pressure, which doesn't make any sense.

The author I think was trying to say they have a common cause, but I don't believe there's any evidence for the mechanism on which their thesis relies.

Complexity of Hiragana and Katakana is exaggerated by learner. Difficulty of remembering many Kanjis (for write) is real.
Nobody cares about a font, but if you read the thread you'll see that it's also the architecture that is "oppressive" in the eyes of the ideologues. When you're destroying architecture you're destroying culture. The same technocrats who has filled the world with the most depressing brutalist architecture are claiming that some mysterious "others" suffer greatly from the classical looks of museums.

> Of course the people who enjoy these things can come from any type of background but first they have to fell welcome to even experience them.

And in what way would somebody feel unwelcome by a font? Why is a serif font less welcoming than a sans serif font? When you do the thinking for other people and when you're feeling oppressed on their behalf, maybe you should instead re-evaluate what you're doing. Are you as an enlightened hacker able to appreciate different cultures, expressions, and even typefaces with a cool self-distance, while people who are lesser than you have to be baby-sat by other enlightened individuals that protect them from unfamiliar columns and serifs?
> Why does HNs readership, a group of people who got their start in computers as kids by likely using technology in ways that were subversive (I.e programming calculators to solve test problems that peers had to solve by hand as intro to programming), seem to support banning cellphones for students?

Because cell phones and the internet can be a never-ending black hole of customized low-effort distraction.

Pretty much everything before had natural limits built in that kept them from being as problematic, e.g.:

Video games: every game gets boring eventually, and it'll be awhile before your parents will drop $45 on a new cart (~$105 in today's dollars); TV: you can only watch what's on, which at least occasionally is nothing that you like; etc.
Bloodletting is a valid medical procedure for hemochromatosis which presently affects around 1 in 200 of those with European ancestry. It's very possible the incidence rate was greater in the past when populations were more locally homogeneous.

It's exceptionally lazy and unimaginative to dismiss out of hand a procedure practiced globally for thousands of years.

The word public derives from the Latin word publicus, which means the people, state, or community. It's also legally defined as such. [1][2]

Further, it's limiting to say there's only two sides to an issue, when in truth there's typically multiple dimensions and a gradient of positions along each of those dimensions.

I would love to continue, but it seems like you're only interested in discussing a strawman of the ACM's code of ethics. I implore you to apply the principle of charity rather than interpret the code of ethics in the worst possible light imaginable.

In NYC delivery is too good. I'd say 20-40 minutes about 90% of the time. I'll even order fried food and know it will still be crispy!

I used to live in downtown SF, which is one of the densest urban areas in the US outside of NY, and I would only reluctantly order delivery because the average wait was closer to 75 minutes. I'd wait 1.5 hrs before checking on the order. Food reliably showed up cold.
...it is? I buy a new TV every two to three years as notably better tech comes out.
Ah, that makes sense. The word expectation was really throwing me off, along with the fact that, in the kind of forecasting setting of this post, the mean and confidence interval (used in the correct sense) are not meaningful, while the quantile or 'predictive interval' are meaningful.
I'm of the belief obesity causes more than 90% of the health woes in western nations.
This was always a curiosity to me, too. Same in my schools, no gameboys, graphing calc use monitored and restricted to specific classes, whether cheating or distraction things weren't allowed - smart phones are all those things and more.

It didn't feel oppressive, either, it felt appropriate - like setting a tone, even when we were defying the rules lol
Is GKE actually much more stable? That's funny if so.
How does this differ from RNNs and their gating mechanism?
No one will do this, and those that read source code during installation do not review it for every upgrade. It's one of those 'just do this!' arguments that has little to no basis in reality. There's more of them replying to the parent comment: "Just do this! Just compile a thing! Just verify signatures for every update!". Come on... Meanwhile the negatives immediately implicate anyone with access to the executable.

You don't know this person, and I see no personally identifiable information to make me trust them. They could literally be a state actor right now! We've also seen so many large supply-chain attacks over the last decade which could easily target a tiny project like this.

I agree with the parent - not wise.
I don't have kids, but I can totally understand how that would increase one's tolerance for chaos.

I think I "don't care" because I'm very analytical. Already at a very young age did I realize that this world doesn't make much sense in that it's not very logical, consistent or fair. It's more like a game to play.

So you develop a kind of "humans going to human" attitude where you detach from drama. Or at least pick your battles.

Yeah, but if he hadn't covered it up it seems pretty clear he would have been charged for deliberately crashing instead.
Basically the only thing a US nonprofit can't do is give dividends to investors. The nonprofit has to funnel any unspent profit to itself as an endowment, but can also have obscenely high salaries for administrative staff.
Loading new Julia processes takes long because the standard library is rather large. One big part of v1.10 has been the excision of more standard libraries out of the the core image. This required some of the v1.9 and v1.10 improvements because things like `using Pkg` was practically instant as a result of Pkg being in the system image, and thus moving these out of the base system image without a major regression required all of the package binaries infrastructure. The ecosystem is now getting ready for this change with recently all packages now requiring the versioning of standard libraries, standard libraries are now versioned independent of Julia and can do their own releases, so they are very close to be standalone. I'm not sure the progress with this in v1.11 but I think the intention was fto make it so that things like Pkg do not load with the start of Julia. The big elephant in the room there is then for BLAS to not load until `using LinearAlgebra`. The majority of the startup time is just spinning up BLAS threads the last time I checked, and with all of these other changes in place we should be ready to test this removal.
Even if the app is trustworthy, it still adds an attack vector to your system. It could have a bug, or the certificate could be exploited by another program.
I seem to end up regretting anything I do at the network level to block traffic. It always seems to pop up that one weird time I actually do need something from a blocked domain to load, and it takes me way too long to remember that's what I did to block it.
This is great. GTA is the only place I’ve ever been a billionaire.
I’m not sure I agree that this is in some way culturally worth it. But I have to concede, this is basically how Damn Interesting episodes get made.

Correct. I was simply talking about control of the land underneath. Owning and controlling the land doesn't mean you have any rights to its airspace.
