I think a huge reason Steam can pursue the strategy it has is because it's privately owned. Without the pressures of anonymous shareholder returns and 'cutting edge' new CEO ideas aka John Riccitiello, Steam can make considered moves more in their long term interests and thus more in the interests of gamers.
I'd like to think that few people go so far as to suggest men who commit suicide deserve it. That said, there's definitely a general apathy towards male suicide (and fatalities in general), naturally following from the fact that men are and always have been considered disposable.

No, activism and legislation are the only things that can even potentially hold back these kinds of unethical business practices. There's no way you're going to educate enough of the general public and make them care enough about something like "installing apps in not necessary".
If you want lab grown meat then you should learn about "immortalization". Basically you are better off cutting back meat consumption and getting your protein from healthy plant sources because lab grown meat, although technically more ethical, is just as unsustainable as regular factory farmed meat.

I totally agree that you can't decide whether a refactoring is required or not for quite a long time. But this language has been around for more than 2 decades, and documented since 2001 [1]. Moreover all main issues were already present at that point and even more options and features were added since then (e.g. `%:sanitizer()` should have been added after sanitizers themselves, i.e. 2012). I think 21 years are long enough to do something about it.

I wrote my own pet Apple IIe emulator for linux fairly recently [0]. It works fairly well, even if it doesn't try to emulate an exact cycle accurate 'pixel' video modes, instead, it 'cheats' and do it line by line. I think it is a good tradeoff between quality of emulation and CPU spent doing it... Only some demos will fail to display properly (mostly the ones changing video mode during line displays!), all the games and tools and applications I tried works just fine.

I mostly did my emu due to the rather poor quality I found for linux emulators I've seen, the 'goto' one is linapple, but the codebase is rather crusty.. I wanted a cleaner base to hack on, without the baggage -- more in the style of my own AVR emulator [1].

I've got a very big patchset to push 'soon' with a new UI library (that will be a topic of its own!) and a bunch of new features and improvements...

I’d guess I’m not the only person who clicked on this particular post because of personal struggles with suicidal ideation, and reading through some of the other comments I just wanted to say that people Do care about suicide and mental health. It’s easy to make generalizations about “society”, but we can be the change we want to see in the world - yeah maybe there’s some assholes on Mastodon or whatever, but there’s no reason to elevate or legitimize toxic opinions like that across the internet.

Yeah, I'm firmly against software that tries to helpfully fix mistakes and figure out what you meant. Anything that enforces semi-colons wouldn't have that issue.

Every now and then some story appears on HN complaining that tools can give you an error message and how to fix it instead of just fixing it for you. But when it just fixes it for you, you get problems like this.

Obviously many things went wrong here and the article covers them. But it seems to just gloss over the fact that their SQL client could have prevented it as well...

Kick competes for the audiences of OBS sponsors YouTube and Twitch while Chaturbate and co (mostly) don't, despite these websites having controversies just as serious as Kick's owner's (Stake.com) own controversies, such as models performing indecent acts in public, parasocial relationships causing (mostly vulnerable, lonely) men to spend or even steal massive amounts of money [0], and lack of resources for models who are trafficked or victims of stalking.

Really, really interesting to see this stance from OBS and very difficult to not view it cynically, especially considering the very lacklustre reasoning. Is OBS saying that they're denying Kick because they don't want to associate themselves with them, implicitly saying that they're happy to be associated with every other site on that list? Seems like a very silly stance to take.

Are you a lawyer?

The OP law link clearly amends the section to add ‘digital asset’, so someone somewhere thought this section didn’t always apply to crypto transactions.

The trade or business caveat does seem important, but who says ‘trading digital currency’ is always a ‘personal activity’? I’d bet good money the IRS has a different opinion.

Personally, my takeaway is that if someone is regularly getting $10k transactions in crypto, they can probably hire good accountants and lawyers to figure this out for them, so I’m not too worried. Can wait for the clarifying court opinion to come out.

; these produce an error, since `b` isn't defined when the body of `a` is compiled
let a = \x -> (b x * 3),
b = \x -> (a x / 2)

It surprised me when this was called out, given that both a and b are defined in the one 'let'. Was there a specific reason you decided not to treat it as a 'letrec'?

LK99 seems unusual in that claims about it aren't like those made for most other superconductor claims which are quickly verified or debunked or are soon retracted, it keeps bouncing back like Phoenix rising from the ashes.

It seems to me there's enough anecdotal evidence to suggest there's something unusual about this material that makes its properties difficult to replicate and or which are poorly understood. Perhaps time should be spent researching why different batches yield different properties before worrying about superconductor properties, if any.
1. Male and female suicide attempts are fundamentally different qualitatively, as evidenced by the fact that men succeed at approximately 10x the rate of women (and, to preempt the usual response, this extends to places where guns are illegal and account for a small minority of suicide methods). This is due to a difference in intent: women attempt suicide as a cry for help; men attempt suicide to end their suffering. Both are bad situations, but it's wrong to equate them, and the latter is clearly worse, because men don't have help available as even an option.

2. Suppose men succeed at suicide 30% of the time, and women succeed at suicide 3% of the time. The greatest risk factor for suicide attempts is having previously attempted suicide. A useful exercise: calculate the gender ratio of suicide attempts, assuming equal likelihood of a first attempt and repeating attempts until success.

> If you're going to say something on HN, please make it substantive.

I believe calling out pseudoscience as such is substantive. To be perfectly clear, I think not doing it would even be irresponsible. Also, substantiveness does not always require great detail, under most common usages of the term that I know of.

> This applies to scientists the same as any other commenters.

That is not at issue.

sorry, that link may have been a cheap shot... but I did try to export the shortcut I created, and kept getting an error about not being signed in to icloud...! and I am signed in to icloud. it's just so confusing.

why can't shortcuts be exported as ... shortcut files?

it's not ideal to have people recreate the shortcut step by step (which is what I ended up describing in my post) but... I couldn't find a better way..! :-)

if you'd be able to recreate the shortcut and share it, and post the link here (and/or email it to me), I'd love to place that in the blog article! thank you

I know that I'd definitely use it!
Sorry, (and I promise it's nothing personal!) but just using the putdown "pseudoscience" is not enough to make a comment substantive. This is just standard HN moderation, and it's not a borderline call. Generally speaking if what you're doing can be described as "calling out", it's probably better to just not post it to HN anyhow. That's not the curious conversation we're looking for.

For the comment to count as substantive you have to explain something about why, and then you don't need the putdown part. People are slinging pejoratives and tropes like "pseudoscience" all over the internet. Adding "I'm a scientist" doesn't overcome this; besides which of course, anybody can say "I"m a" anything.
I’m looking forward to it.
Most of the major corporations who were advertising on Twitter seem to be worried about their brand getting placed next to some neo-nazi shit right now. That is directly related to decisions Musk has made. Additionally, he took it private so it's not like we can read their quarterly reports. It's impossible to have a meaningful conversation about this company without talking about the new owner. Any conversation that doesn't somehow relate to him is going to be incomplete. That's much less true if we were talking about Meta, or Google, or Apple. But we're talking about Twitter, which is currently in the process of being managed into the ground.
It demonstrates that Python needs libraries like NumPy. Few problems are more heavily optimized than matrix multiplication in practice, so comparing matrix multiplication benchmarks across languages with NumPy is not representative of real-world performance for most programming use cases.

It also means that adding performance to an existing Python program requires dropping into a different language, which is not only complicated, but also requires engineers capable in both Python and C (or similar).

Ok. This may be slightly off-topic, but I'm pretty serious when I suggest getting feedback and ideas from an Indian aunty/uncle who has done and helped arrange or take primary roles in weddings in their families. Here in India, for all significant events, there is always an aunt/uncle who knows everything, and everyone asks that person.

Looking at the website and seeing Tables numbered less than ten by default, I realized this targets people who invite their best friends and relatives and strictly choose who they want to see at their events.

One of my friend’s father was that uncle. I once asked him how he knows everything and can organize everything. He writes a lot and writes them down and refers to those writing when he thinks. If I asked him something, he is thinking about his notes in the back of his mind. Once, he gave me directions to go and send out over 50 paper invitation cards. My journey was precise and in perfect sequence, including the cow traps to avoid, the gates I might encounter, and the homes with dogs (so I call out before entering). This is in the 90s, with no phone, while I ride a bicycle to deliver those invites with no marked address on roads I had never traveled, in an Indian rural town.
To me this is like imitation bacon bits.

For whatever weird reason, when I was growing up qw only had those fake imitation bacon bits in our house. My palate was trained that that was what was baseline, and real bacon bits were weird. It took me 10 years of being a rel adult before now when I expect bacon bits, and imitation bacon bits are weird.

Point is, at some point we can just remove the imitation and bacon part and just say bits.

No, the null hypothesis is that neither image elicits a cat-like response. It requires asking an open-ended question such as "what does this image look like to you?" Once you prime the subject, you have artificially restricted the responses to "Not really, sure, kinda?"

Remember, the ML model is objectively selecting cat with (very) high probability out of the entire corpus of possible responses. The human should be given the same range of possible responses to objectively establish bias. Since no human would say 'cat-like' for any of those images, it suggests a fairly large gap between human and machine perception. We've got a long road ahead of us.
Is a "putdown" essentially an insult?

Because I used the word "pseudoscience" literally. Not as an insult, but as an academic word-label.

Perhaps, but in this case, the most charitable reading is the literal one.

There are a lot of near-surface options for heating and cooling. They reduce electrical usage rather than generate it.

I worked on geo control systems for FL buildings. We'd pump water up from the aquifer, transfer heat from the building into it and dump it back. It starts getting cost effective above 10k or 15k sqft.

In northern states they do large closed loops wound over a large yard or field and buried just below the surface to capture daytime heat or pump heat into the earth. Basically a larger version of rooftop water heating.

There are a lot of variants of this but you get the idea.
Ok, but the problem is that the term is an internet cliché and people are going to interpret it in the way it's commonly used, even if you don't intend it as a putdown.

I agree with the general sentiment, though not for sympathetic reasons. Bangladeshis are not culturally capable of western democracy. Maybe someday, but certainly not now. But they are who they are, and Hasina’s strongman regime is probably the best that can be done at this time. So I agree that Biden’s interventionism about human rights and democracy threatens to disrupt a quasi-democracy that is at least functioning and make things worse.
