The publishing industry already has style guides for large swaths of the industry.

Imagine, for a moment, that AP adopted the OP's "don't count centuries" guidance. An enormous share of English-language publishing outfits would conform to the new rule in all future publications. Within a couple months, a large share of written media consumption would adopt this improved way of talking about historical time frames.

The best part? Absolutely no effort on the part of the general public. It's not like the OP is inventing new words or sentence structures. There's zero cognitive overhead for anyone, except for a handful of journalists and copywriters who are already used to that kind of thing. It's part of their job.

I think a lot of people take these sorts of ideas to mean "thou shalt consciously change the way you speak." In reality, we have the systems in place to make these changes gradually, without causing trouble for anyone.

If you don't like it, nobody's trying to police your ability to say it some other way - even if that way is objectively stupid, as is the case with counting centuries.
A bit of the same here, I'm Dutch with a Swedish/French wife with whom I speak English. She speaks Swedish to our children, I speak Dutch. Both of them go (youngest) and went (oldest) to the French school in Göteborg which follows the Swedish curriculum but adds a heavy dose of French language and culture to the mix, the oldest now studies English language/literature in Utrecht, the Netherlands. At home we're tri-lingual - Swedish, Dutch and English - with French added as an extra.
You can start the sequence at -2b, or wrap it around when it gets close to the signed limit. Hopefully you haven't depended on it not wrapping around by that point.

For queue tables you can even use `CYCLE` to do that automatically.

If you want privacy of sequence statistics, then I would suggest something like a sha256 hash of the primary key concatenated with a cryptographic salt stored in a separate column. These make excellent identifiers in places like APIs and URLs.

Is there a reason not to use version 4 UUID and if time ordering is needed, save timestamp explicitly as another column?

Did you read the article? The very first paragraph is about the average Israeli (non tech) wages.
There is an epidemiological uptick in anxiety diagnosis rate; hence the article title: "Anxious Generation."

Is that due to broader trends in public health like lack of exercise and poor diet, specifically inflammatory foods like ultra-processed foods, exposure to food packaging, plastics, waterproofing chemicals, or other environmental contaminants?

What correlations in social research and human behavior can we identify?

Is there an increase in anxiety diagnoses in states with medical discounts for anxiety treatments?
That’s, I love Thich. I once visited Plum Village. What an amazing time it was.
It's cool to see a novel idea like this get prototyped and then opened up for discussion.

As others have hinted at, this feels like jQuery with different syntax and more limitations. In its current form, I can't imagine choosing this over jQuery (in part because I already know jQuery, and in part because the limited reach of your selectors feels like it would be a roadblock very quickly).

Perhaps you could reshape this to be an extension of jQuery, where this alternative jsx syntax is available if you want it, but the full power of jQuery's selectors is also available (without having to mix two libraries with overlapping purpose)?

That aside, I can't imagine abandoning React for this. That would feel like a step backwards to me. IMO, the most valuable thing React brought to the ecosystem is a simple way to make reusable components. Much of React's convenience is because of its functional nature: each component instance has an isolated scope/context, making it easy to reason over the behavior of a small widget without worrying about external effects from the larger application.

From what I can see in your examples, you're relying on things like global identifiers/keys, which I think leads to a mess in a large application. Take your counter example: what if my application needs 5 such counters? Can I do this without significant code duplication? I could probably wrap it in a function, but I'd likely need to pass in some unique id to distinguish between the 5 usages. This is a huge part of what React does for you, just keeping track of which component instances go where in the DOM (without needing DOM `id`s everywhere).

It could be that I'm missing something. It'd be great to see some larger examples of a more complex application with widget reuse, to see how that feels.
Ask HN: Solutions for Sustainable Tires before 2050?
Almost all automotive tires are made of synthetic "rubber".

Synthetic rubber tires pollute microplastics which harm aquatic life including salmon.

So, we need to make tires out of different materials in order to spare the environment, society and public health, and economy.

What are some potential solutions for sustainable tire products and production?
Some discoveries founder in the stage of figure out how to go from a science experiment to a process to manufacture actual batteries. Sometimes there are technical or economic issues that prevent commercialization.

Most of the research on this has only started in the last 10 years or so and it does take time to work out the kinks.

Even within the common Lithium-ion batteries, there have been constant improvements but it’s easy to miss the changes over time.

“Eternally five years away? No, batteries are improving under your nose”
https://arstechnica.com/science/2021/05/eternally-five-years...
That makes no sense to me. If this coder has to access array by index twenty times a day, then he is going to remember it, eventually, no? If is it rare that he has to do it, then why memorize it?

You really think there is more value in remembering how to do something in some arbitrary, shitty, programming language than understanding the concept of doing it? With understanding the idea you can do it in any language, at any time, it is just a few seconds away.
The war is much older than October 7.
Umm, a good number of those have hit the market.

Graphene anodes are pretty bog standard at this point in LiPo batteries.

Magnesium doping has also found its way into high density NMC batteries.

Sodium-ion batteries are currently being manufactured by CATL and in the ramping up phase.

You aren't seeing them because the chemistry of these batteries is usually only called "lithium ion" or "Sodium Ion" the various other chemicals are thrown into a soup of special sauce to raise battery density, cycle life, charge speed, etc.
Windows Pipe Screensaver, Written by Claude
A re-creation of the classic Windows 3D "Pipes" screensaver, written entirely by Claude 3.5 Sonnet over many iterations!

(full disclosure - I work at Anthropic)

This was an experiment to try to generate a medium sized (240 line) program without writing a single line of code myself, only with prompting.

I had the best luck starting simple and gradually adding features (including starting 2D). Claude was able to debug its code about 2/3 of the time when it created errors, and 1/3 of the time I had to open up the code and help it more explicitly.

I documented some of my prompts and the code here:

I'm a fan of FreeBSD, but nothing really in this article really is super specific to switching to FreeBSD, aside from the customers lucking out that the crypto-miner that was injected into their system wasn't able to run on there.

This feels more like an "experienced dev/sysadmin shows inexperienced dev team how to better manage their environments" type article. That in itself is a good message and worthwhile, but the FreeBSD stuff is a bit besides the point.
'10000 hours to mastery' is incoherent bullshit. 10000 hours to mastery of programming? to mastery of programming numerical methods? to mastery of programming gauss-seidel elimination? to mastery of programming sparse gauss-seidel elimination on vector supercomputers? to mastery of programming sparse gauss-seidel elimination on vector supercomputers for fluid mechanics? if your first 10000 hours were in c++, do you need another 10000 hours to get to mastery of programming sparse gauss-seidel elimination on vector supercomputers for fluid mechanics in fortran? at most one of these can be correct for a given level of mastery and for a given person (and that's not even getting into variations between people)

And a lot of the products that ended up mattering were founded in the decade after the dot com bubble: Facebook 2004, Youtube 2005, Twitter 2006, Spotify 2006, Whatsapp 2009, etc.

A hype bubble is great to pump money into experimentation and infrastructure, but the real fruits of that typically come later when everything had a chance to mature.

A similar thing happened with computer vision and CNNs. There was a big hype when "detect if there's an eagle in this image" turned from a multi-year research project to something your intern could code up on the weekend. But most of the useful/profitable industry applications only happened later when the dust was settled and the technology matured.
So, hype aside, what's the over/under on DuckDB vs Sqlite these days? I'm working on a Thing right now, has started with sqlite due to being a) good enough, b) stupendously optimized and nails hardened, and c) runs on your phone, your toaster, and your server.

What's DuckDB bringing to the table relative to sqlite, which seems like the boring-and-therefore-best choice?
One reason seems to be that lithium-ion batteries are nowhere near as expensive and difficult to manufacture as advocates of the other battery technologies seem to want us to believe. Basically, the other batteries don't come to market because there is no market.

And as the other poster suggests, quite a bit of R&D does make it into existing devices in one form or another. All of these technologies are worth exploring, but the notion that replacing present lithium battery tech is super urgent is not actually correct.

> it’s not clear to me that if we taught quite a bit less math to most kids and even college students, anything bad would happen.

My grandparents never passed grade 4 of primary school.

They absolutely *crushed* anybody, including university people with supposedly strong math inclination, in math and solving skills. Basic arith and probably a bare-acquired intuition of some algebra.

They could do everything in their heads, buy things, make deals, and could dance around most people with riddles and stuff like that some were math-related. I remember one of them that around 15 people of later generations were trying to solve (like for a week), and only one did it. (remember, there was large family and friends, I have 6 uncles)

Even those around 80-90 years old still crush it.

No, they were not savants. Other grandparents of that generation were like that.

And their sons could do better than grandsons. I need machines to help me. And I was the #1 in school.
Reading the comments is convincing enough to believe there is no viable business to be built on the mobile web. It's great technology, sure; but not a great business. Mobile web apps won't pay the bills for people who build them. It seems worth everyone's time to have those mobile web devs instead build native apps. Ergo, Apple's "dips" are justified costs of doing business.

I think you underestimate the amount of internalized understanding of the "unblock yourself on a difficult problem by solving a simpler version of it" strategy that you possessed or unlocked at learn-time which allowed you to notice its effectiveness. Isn't the sentence more of an easily-retrievable mnemonic for a concept that's much more complicated (than just the information transferred by language) and requires a particular background to recognize how useful it is?

> Evidence of the SEC's imperfect lawlessness implies the greater financial markets are also, in part, lawless

By this logic lawlessness anywhere means lawlessness everywhere.

> my point wasn't even to say whether a given industry as broad as finance is 'lawless' or not

You said the “lawlessness of finance is so pervasive that it has effectively become legalized” [1]. You cited the SEC in respect of Enron as an example. I “asked for one example of something the SEC had a mandate to do that it didn’t” do with Enron. You ignored the question and started pontificating on not the law but legal philosophy.

You continue to evade that first question. Now you’re claiming you didn’t make the first statement.

This is arguing in bad faith.

Sometime ago, I had to extract a large amount of data from OSM and found the process harder than it should have been. Similar to how you shrunk the size by 50% after removing unnecessary tags. Ended up creating a python package 'earth-osm' (https://github.com/pypsa-meets-earth/earth-osm) that makes things more intuitive. Always wanted to push the data into a database but never got around to that....
Uh, hold on. Are we trying to discuss objectivily? If not, and you just insist like GIT is best for everything fanboyism, and use it everywhere.. I am not interested.

I pointed out that GIT have some rough cases and its good to be aware of them. I said it already and will say it again: choose right tool for the task.

If your workflow with GIT works, use it. No need to discourage other solutions. Yes, I use ancient platforms and I want DVFS on them too.
Wow, I would have never discovered this and I work full time with .NET, and have experience with Avalonia! It's just that I normally don't look for Pi-related stuff there, rather heading to Python as a clear de facto Pi language and libraries. Really cool to see this kind of niche being carved out by .NET and Avalonia! Too bad it's generally easier to get I/O boards to work out of the box on Python, with high level drivers and libraries often already written. .NET of course also has its way to interface but you'll likely end up doing it on a lower level due to the lack of drivers. There _are_ drivers but not as many and it's more likely to end up with more generic GPIO pin reading/writing libraries.
Even just replacing 10% of first-line customer service is a gigantic market opportunity.

Is Larry Wall not involved with Perl anymore? What happened to him?
From https://doc.rust-lang.org/nomicon/races.html :

"Safe Rust guarantees an absence of data races, which are defined as: two or more threads concurrently accessing a location of memory, where one or more of them is a write, and one or more of them is unsynchronized. A data race has Undefined Behavior, and is therefore impossible to perform in Safe Rust. [...] However Rust does not prevent general race conditions. This is mathematically impossible in situations where you do not control the scheduler, which is true for the normal OS environment. [...] For this reason, it is considered "safe" for Rust to get deadlocked or do something nonsensical with incorrect synchronization: this is known as a general race condition or resource race. Obviously such a program isn't very good, but Rust of course cannot prevent all logic errors. In any case, a race condition cannot violate memory safety in a Rust program on its own. Only in conjunction with some other unsafe code can a race condition actually violate memory safety."

I quit a job with nothing lined up, but it was due to a liquidity event for a former startup. Not enough to permanently stop working, but also not quite as counter-culture as this describes.

In retrospect, the experience was primarily about changing my relationship to work. I can still feel the mindset shift. Being able to test my internal narrative about the urgency and primacy of work (by forcefully deprioritizing it) gave me a stronger sense of agency and a wider view on what I might do each day.

I hope that the people referenced in the article have the economic leniency or support systems to experience something similar.
> Hypothesis doesn't try to give you a consistent probability distribution, especially not a uniform one.

This is totally understood and expected. But a “probability distribution” of exactly ONE value with P=1 is not much of a distribution.

Same, I’ve had some very fortunate insights because of it. Any preferred translations? I’ve read the Watson one a couple times and just the other day was thinking of re-reading it since it’s been a few years, but maybe a different translation this time.

We can't even be assed to mandate repairable smartphones in 2024. People don't care about our environment, they care about affordable technology that does what they want while marketing the values they respect to them. Tire manufacturers, big tech, and most sizable businesses have figured this out by now. Even if you invented a miracle rubber alternative, it was cheaper than synthetic rubber, and you made it freely available, tire manufacturers would still undercut each other until they had the highest-margin product. Any way you slice it, our miraculous free market exclusively incentivizes manufacturers to destroy the one planet our human race has.

My advice? Give up on the environment. You're on Hacker News, the majority of this website would happily destroy the earth for decades to come if it meant they could be king for a year. Even outside HN, who consciously considers the environment when making purchasing decisions anymore? Who stands up to the lobbyists that stop pro-environmental change from happening? Nobody. We suffer because people with money insist it's the only way we can live, and biodegradable tires aren't going to change that political status-quo.
