There was one Covid Zoom podcast (about economics?) with a middle-aged man sitting in front of a large set of bookshelves, housing row-upon-row of gnarly old books. The only recently-used book was lying flat on top of the other books.

Can you read the title?

> This strongly suggests that sharing genes with a deadbeat dad is worse for you than not being raised by a father.

I find that the implications of this being true are very troubling.

Maybe you could attribute the outcomes to the difference between your father abandoning you vs. your father unfortunately passing away? I'm sure both cases would have different effects on a person.

I have the hope that someone with a deadbeat dad being adopted by a caring family will have a better prospect than someone thrown into the system.
yeah this is also fairly common in many East and South-Asian countries. In countries like China, many people leave their children behind in the village with the grandparents, while they go work in the cities.
Because they collect their 3% or whatever, and even after giving you your "cut" for strongarming the merchant for them, they still get 1% or whatever it is.

You've paid off every month on time for 20 years, and they get 1% of that. For basically running some servers and balancing payments.

That's big money - debit cards do the same thing for what, 25 cents a payment? So once the credit card hits about $9 it's all gravy.

Yes. And placebo control is actually quite a weak standard (= better than nothing). Ideally, there should be more head-to-head studies.

Alas, they are also more likely to fail (and give the competition data) so developers avoid them, at least for the initial approval.

I grew up rural and luckily at the same time as the internet was sort of gaining pace.

People can shit on the internet and all it enables today all they want, because it’s very easy to do from a position of privilege of having had so many more options available to them. Options not available to all then or now.

Unless experienced, most people will simply never be able to comprehend what the internet brought to people like me, people who would have been effectively cut off from society and culture otherwise (as I was for many, many years during my formative youth.)

Well, we have put hundreds of billions of person-years into developing technology suited to Earth. If we find a reason to put in the investment into these other environments, those sci-fi dreams may still come true!
In Girard's model of mimetic desire, there are three parts: the subject, the object, and the model. The subject sees that the model has the object and comes to desire it.

There's something deeply true about this. But often, the thing you end up desiring is not an object. For example, you might observe someone else's happy relationship and want a happy relationship for yourself. But you don't necessarily want their partner. Or you might see that someone else enjoys their job and you might want a job that you enjoy...but you don't necessarily want their job.

Seen from this perspective, mimetic desire doesn't necessarily lead to conflict.
As an outsider to the "tech" scene, who did a PhD generals field on modern European intellectual history (which included a dollop of recent continental philosophy), it's endlessly fascinating to me how people in tech have fixated upon Girard. While a few of his ilk do come up in standard reading lists, he (generally) doesn't -- he is far more prominent vis-a-vis his peers in this discourse than in his "native" one. I suspect that this owes to path dependency and his metaphysics' compatibility with the industry's participants' socio-intellectual priors (so to speak).
Really poor countries will probably not have strong liberal institutions needed for free speech, just like they won't have the best pride parades or provocative comedians.

I find it utterly bizarre that this kind of ignorant hand-wringing is so pervasive. The US median household income is ~6x the global median. The average US household in the bottom income quintile has an income above global median before accounting for 10s of thousands of dollars in in-kind transfers (i.e. welfare).

Let's not make up things because you disagree with the politics.

There's nothing in the law about the state gathering data.

Texas is not the first state with such law. Louisiana, Arkansas, Indiana, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, Utah, and Virginia have all passed laws mandating age verification for accessing adult content. I expect this will become even more widespread.

There's probably a market opportunity for the entrepreneurs of hacker news: creating an age verification service compliant with the law of those state, with a strong no-log privacy policy and an API that websites with age verification mandate can use

Yes and a lot of better technology has this issue.

The EV consumes more energy at the beginning, solar panels and wind turbines too. Unfortunate its hard for people to get 'economy of scale' and its super frustrating that we have the investment<>expensive<>benefit hen<>egg issue.

Heat-pumps, EVs, solar and batteries could become even cheaper even faster if we would invest faster and more. In 10 years those have eclipsed every current alternative.

What i think is a good example is Alpha Fold: The graph on this page https://www.moltenventures.com/insights/a-breakthrough-in-pr... shows the jump alphafold provided.

The price paid will not long be below the costs.

The best example of this is (was?) gas stations, where the ones taking cash or debit only would be cheaper, because the credit card processing is a significant cost in a low-margin product-interchangeable market.

The bigger companies try to make you THINK that there's a difference between their gallon of gas and that other gallon over there that came from the same depot, but there really isn't.
"append" means adding something to the back end, e.g. appendices in a book are encountered later when sequentially processing the book's pages.

"prepend" is used to describe adding something at the beginning of a sequence.

Good old "cons" has the specific technical meaning of placing data at the lowest address of a sequential memory structure...and it is shorter than "append" and "prepend."

Perhaps English is not your first language, or you are not recognizing the difference between casual conversation and formal scientific papers.

This is casual conversation. Writing quickly and colloquially, with the assumption that "no longer directly linked" or "no longer linked as they were 10min before" is inferred, certainly to anyone who has seen a map of the area. It should also be inferred from the sentence alone, as if the link had been to an island, then most writers would have made the much stronger point, saying "completely cutoff from the mainland" instead of the much weaker "no longer linked" (just because one link is broken does not imply that there are no others).

If you want to comment that "I was confused by your meaning and it could have been more clear if you said X" is a perfectly fair statement.

But deliberately taking absolutist definitions in a casual conversation where meanings can be implied / inferred, is an unfriendly, oppositional, if not hostile stance.

In any case, I apologize if you were offended that I didn't include all the qualifiers and assumed they would be apparent to the reader. Have a nice day.
I don’t mean this post to be about Go; I have never written significant amounts of Go and have no opinion on its productivity.

Productivity in Rust is difficult to talk about, because of differences in opinion and what I like to call “the TCO problem.”

Because Rust is hard to learn, a lot of folks assume it’s that hard all the time. Which means they assume things take just as long for a new Rustacean as they do an experienced one. This is generally not the case. Once things click and you’re over that hump, it feels like programming in any other language. If there are similar libraries available and I don’t need to create the world from scratch, I am just as productive in Rust as in other languages that also have those libraries, generally.

But that kinda leads into the other thing I alluded to; a lot of people think of “productivity” as “whatever lets me see something quickly.” But this doesn’t capture real prodctivity, in my mind, which includes the total development time, aka, how many bugs do I have to deal with later. Rust moves a lot (but not all, of course!) of this up front. Which can feel like it slows you down (but again, with experience, I find this is actually kinda minimal), but then you save time on the back end by needing to debug less. This means that robust features end up being developed more quickly than in some other “productive” languages I’ve used in the past.

TL;DR things aren’t simple, and “fast to get going” doesn’t inherently mean “productive.”
Probably hobbyists were more likely to join rust side after learning about its pros?

Been to new orleans. Didn't see anyone with 'caloric deficit' issues.

And you have it backwards. Louisiana has a problem with an overabundance of calories, not a lack of calories. Louisiana is one of most obese states in the country after all.

There are legitimate issues with economic disparity in the country. Not sure why you are trying to tie it to calories?

Hit that nail right on the head.

In those terms, LinkedIn feels like “click here to win a date with Taylor Swift!” Realistically, that’s not gonna happen. (Not the the least because my wife would kill me before date night even if I won. Sorry, Taylor! Maybe in the next life!) I’m not going to be the #1 candidate in that stack. Well, someone has to be, true, but the odds just aren’t great.

Hardly anyone used the Dart Angular bindings so it was not surprising they got dropped. They were an early adopter and got bit.. this happens everywhere especially in frontend web development, and is certainly not specific to Google's frameworks.
How many things that most people ( within Apple Fans circle ) commonly believes that are plain wrong was started by him?

Apple invented USB-C and turned it over to USB-IF

The original AirPod was sold at cost.

These are the two I remember well, others including Modem, CPU, Unified Memory, and now Payment. Although arguably Payment doesn't count because he did admit he is wrong.

Basically Gruber and Daniel Eran Dilger from AppleInsider have similar traits, they have made their own conclusion and they derived their explanation backwards.

There is net metering but it has two major problems.

1) It's hard to get approved, doubly hard for a DIY installed system, even if I could jump through the hoops (eletrical engineers drawing etc) there is also a quota so there isn't a gaurantee it would be approved.

2) The rate isn't that great, it's about 30% of retail.

However all of that is moot in my case because my power needs exceed that of the available utility power at my location.

So I essentially have a 3 phase completely off grid solar system.
So why did I say hybrid?
Well that is because I do have a utility supply but it's a 15/45A supply but it's got horrible voltage drop (I'm 2.5km up a mountain from the transformer) and it's 1ph and I need 3ph power for my EV charger, air conditioning and pool pumps.

So what I did was add an AC charger that is configured to charge from grid if the batteries drop below 30% state of charge. So it's essentially a hybrid system, DC coupled to the 48V batteries but really the grid supply is just a backup, the system is specced to operate completely off-grid.

Yes the battery system is LFP, I went for 5 x 48V 200AH server rack mounted packs in parallel.

I'll probably also eventually add a diesel generator so that there is no way I will ever lose power but for now the batteries + grid charger are going to be enough.
Honestly i feel like those (except cigs) might be more healthy than phones. Those infractions you are talking about weren't happening 24/7 but in rare circumstances. All of them are forms of addiction.

Advertising is not becoming obsolete, but it is undergoing significant transformations due to technological advancements, changes in consumer behaviors, and evolving media landscapes. Here are several reasons why advertising remains relevant, albeit in evolving forms.
I see, I remember that being a similar situation in my school. But in my experience it was good enough for 90% of the kids to stop using their phones. Cause most ppl’s parents were too busy working or sided with the school at the time
Tangential, but what's the state of web components at the moment? As a backend engineer, they were very appealing early on since I didn't want to deal with adding an entire framework onto a simple project. How'd that work out? It seems like the big frameworks are still kind by a mile and they provide a much easier developer experience still. Am I wrong there?

> Everybody I talked to online and offline, all the discussions I saw, dismissed the idea of Russia actually invading as impossible, since "Putin would never do something this stupid, it's just posturing like every other time".

The Russians had, and continue to have, a very strong presence in online communities aimed at shaping consensus, disrupting community, and obfuscating efforts. it is plainly active here on HN, on Reddit, and on Twitter -- often quite blatently. "hypernormialization" and all that. there was a concerted push prior to invasion across all platforms of "Russia would never do this".

China, NK, Iran, are also very active in this game, though often more focused on specific areas. India, Europe, and even Brazil have also dipped toes in aggressive online efforts, though mostly focused on very specific things, like stymming the flow of Indian ex-pats to Canada (and killing Canadian-Indian activists...), or consensus shaping around Brexit.
The dark pattern is actually the opposite. People who ordered in the next 2 hours might not get it the next day. If you tell someone "buy it in the next 2 hours to receive it tomorrow", you better make sure they get it tomorrow.

.NET 7 and beyond consolidates Framework and Core. I think they're going to just stick to just .NET moving forward. Eventually Framework and Core will be EOL'd.

> commodities don't go up 100x like stocks do

This is entirely due to the limit mechanism that tries to keep prices approximately in line with supply and demand. There have been several instances of grains in particular locking limit up during a blight over and over again. In recent history oil going negative is another example. If it wasn't for the limit mechanism (and in some cases, the literal government) stepping in they absolutely could 100x. When you're a goods supplier you'll pay nearly anything once prices reach your "uncle" level. The dynamics at limit are somewhat interesting as it's a case where the entirely market has consensus that "I need to buy (sell) now or I'm hosed".

I wasn't suggesting you were saying you couldn't speculate on commodities. I was mostly suggesting that even removing traders the "speculation" occurring is due to the anticipated future value of that commodity. If it wasn't, then buyers and sellers would go to the cash market which while extremely volatile may also be a smart choice for at least some of the crop.

IMO limit mechanisms are not nearly aggressive enough and I've been caught in a few of them myself. One of the few rare nightmare scenarios for a commodity trader. But making limits more aggressive would imply some form of price control which also would not be great.
I think it still works. You have two scenarios where the attacker is efficiently using goroutines; (1) you also use goroutines or (2) you do not. In the latter, the attack is more expensive for you.

Another detail is that an attacker with many idle connections to your host might not instantiate any new ones.

Of course, in the scenarios where the attacker is not using goroutines then you have the upper hand as well.

Agreed, but we've been doing a lot of R&D discovering new ways of doing things. Dioxus was the first Rust framework to do template-based hotreloading and we couldn't have predicted that was even possible 2 years ago.

The Copy-state stuff also seemed impossible a year ago, so no way to plan ahead. Now, I think things have matured enough that there's hopefully not a major major rewrite for a long time.
