Wouldn't these kinds of leaks always be present though? The scheduler can swap your process out at any time, regardless of whether it explicitly calls sleep() or not, so even with a constant time algorithm you'll have some variability.
It smooths the costs out over time, ie. you regularly pay a fixed amount instead of having random huge bills you may not be able to cover.
> The phenomenon of men exaggerating their height is so pervasive, it’s practically become a meme.

The dating apps have really made height a big issue. In the pre-app era of dating I don't recall people obsessing over it nearly as much. It's the only metric aside form age that is usually presented as an exact number on the apps, which makes some sense since few other metrics provide such 'useful' information.

Pretty much every other aspect of a person's body can still be obscured with the right clothes and photos (within reason). Which leads to various bits of conventional wisdom, such as men who have a hat in every photo are bald, people who don't show their teeth when the smile have bad teeth, etc. I know that I personally take my job as Photo Detective very seriously, a trait I only acquired from too many dates with people who did not look as good as their photos in real life.

I dunno why one would want to put the toaster into the dishwasher in any case.

Any caked-on grease would still be there.

The outside is easy to clean in any case, and the inside doesn't need to be sparkling (it won't be if you ever actually use the toaster in any case).

There's a door on the bottom of the toaster to get the crumbs out; that's necessary maintenance, and it's far easier done if the toaster is dry. Adding water to crumbs will cause them to stick, so the dishwasher shouldn't be the first thing in any case.

Parts of my BBQ grill would fit into the dishwasher too, but that's not how I clean them either - dishwasher isn't a replacement for scrubbing.

Oh, and there's absolutely a higher risk of getting rust on metals in a dishwasher. And cheap-ass toasters aren't made to be rust-proof throughout.

The conventional ignorance of "don't put the toaster into the dishwasher" is based on at least some truth... and the toaster's instruction manual :)

You won't get much insight from a study period measured in hours. CT has actually been incredibly beneficial for computer science. Monads were first used to give denotational semantics to imperative languages. CT has also influenced Haskells design, giving many general and consistent abstractions across it's libraries. Looking ahead, CT is teaching us how to build software in total languages.

Apple's Just Fines
Feels like GPT AI slop? Perhaps I am missing the irony.
Correct. But not insurmountable.

Make the ID card optional, so that it simplifies things if you have it, but still allows operation without it. If 80% of law-abiding population has the card, only the stubborn deniers will remain targets of easy identity theft and fraud based on it. Partly it will stop being worth the effort, partly it will serve as a good control group.

Allow but do not require to use the card for employee identification. Whoever insists on hiring undocumented immigrants, could continue. Most industries don't do that, and would reap the benefits of a more secure identification.

Don't make the card universal. A bank card with a chip does not identify you for governmental agencies, but prevents a lot of PoS fraud. It could prevent credit fraud if banks allowed me to require the card to take a loan in my name, or to make a transfer larger than $10, and provided the card identity check service to each other and to credit unions. Phones with NFC can read bank cards, so it's a good way to say "it's me, I confirm" in a secure way.

Evolutionary, opt-in, piecemeal solutions often have higher chances to succeed than abrupt all-at-once changes.

You can't measure inflation via comments, cause inflation is a basket. People can say they see no change in prices because they don't buy everything in the basket, or the opposite.

For example, inflation where I live is ~10% but eggs have doubled in price in one year. It's not that the statistics office lies, it's just considering more things, and e.g. public transport had 0% inflation.
There are many results, but whether you would find them interesting is up to you. (I don't even know what it would mean for a result to not be a "statement" or "observation". Every group-theoretic result is a statement of an observation, and for that matter, the Riemann Hypothesis is a statement too.)

Since you mention Lagrange's theorem, I presume you are looking for introductory results rather than advanced results. E.g., the result that a functor has at most one left adjoint up to isomorphism (a direct generalization of the fact that inverses are unique in groups). Or the result that a functor which has a left adjoint automatically preserves limits (and the near converse to this given by the Adjoint Functor Theorem). Or the theorem that a category has a limit for the entire category if and only if it has an initial object. Or the Yoneda lemma, which is a direct generalization of Cayley's theorem for groups. Or Lambek's theorem that every initial algebra is invertible.

What is a group-theoretic result of interest to you, apart from the aforementioned Lagrange's theorem? It might in particular be good to see a group-theoretic result which you find interesting even outside the context of finite groups (as there is not such an emphasis on considering finiteness in typical category theory, though one could of course say things specifically about finite categories too).

There was a recent post on here (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41239520) where someone noted that people at Google tend not to use their own products. When it was posted on X a Google Director said that they use Google software because it's a software company. Which does show part of the dysfunction - you have a lot of hardware being built by people who aren't using it.

I have no idea if similar things happen for many of their software products, but that would explain a lot behind things like GHC and how it's UX has gotten worse over time.

It's not a ridiculous argument! Not naming everything means that you can reserve naming things for when it actually makes a difference.
I am definitly for names, and good names at that! Names are placeholders for a bunch of logic that you might not want to care about in the moment.

Without reading any code, you can tell what "inputToFocus", "postalCodeIsValid" and "daysToEarliestAppointment" mean. Then you know what this variable represents in the real world, and also what your code is operating on.

Great caveat, not trying to throw away the baby with the bathwater when it comes to cultural interviews or even personality based assessments. It can be done well. My personal take (which I admit is equally a leap of intuition) is that there are probably more cost-effective ways to gain more signal. Anecdotally for instance, I'm seeing an increase in pair-coding/work-along type interviews where both sides get an intuitive sense of the other's depth of technical expertise as well as a taste of what it's like to work with each other.
Luckily we have equations for this!

Assume that the water has a fixed resistance of R. You have increased the Voltage V about double.

As a result of V=IR, the I, or current flow, will be doubled. Which in this case is probably a moderate tingle since R is so high.

For reference, the heart muscles start getting involuntary twitches around 100mA, and at 200mA causes cardiac arrest. And the standard units of Voltage, Amp, and Ohm will serve you well here for any conversions.
Google invented very little AFA actual products. They invented mind sets to make copying existing things with one questionably clever idea and turning it into the origin story of the world.

Fair point. I don’t mean to downplay the very real pain that creates fertile soil for fascism to grow in the first place, just to point out that you can’t take the narrative about that pain at face value, since it tends to rapidly evolve into a tool for manipulation.

Once again Jamie Zawinski's 2011 blog post (which I won't link from HN) nails it:

If you look at a list of financially successful people from the software industry, I'll bet you get a very different view of what kind of sleep habits and office hours are successful than the one presented here.

You are aware that this blog post is about displaying syntax highlighted code on the web? This is literally explained in the first paragraphs of the blog post..

As of now there were four ways of doing that:

1. using an image (which sucks)

2. manually setting the colors (good luck)

3. Generating the syntax highlighting server-side (preferred, but you need a backend that can do it)

4. Generating it client side using JS (waste of energy, takes a time to finish)

And now a font. Depending on the use case this could be a feasible option, although I am just waiting for this to be exploited in some fashion.

I still think computing once styling later is preferable.
Yeah, the first one is kind of nothing (as long as the mark location is taken figuratively and not literally, it could even mean something like a phone number), but the second one kinda came to the forefront around 2022 when governments started talking about vaccine passports and the possibility of using them to deny access based on vaccination status.

It's a mixture of light mineral oil and light mineral spirits. As a lubricant, the mineral spirits carry the mixture into crevices, then evaporates, leaving an oil film behind.

This is either useful and appropriate for a situation, or it's not. Also, the oil might not be a specialized oil for any particular use, but a lot of applications don't need a high performance oil.

In my view, the drawbacks are:

1. Controlling overspray. This is why, even if I liked the stuff, I'd prefer to apply it with an eyedropper in many if not most cases.

2. General ignorance about lubrication needs, where something else is preferable, such as grease, a suspension of wax, penetrating oil, etc.

On the other hand, keeping a supply of every possible lubricant can be a storage problem, and I've gradually come to prefer using the "wrong" stuff than buying yet another oversized container of something that I have to keep forever or dispose of.

There's been an increasing interest in the Fediverse and local-first programming. Not quite mainstream, but they are well out of the academia.

We have things with synchronizing state between web clients and servers and jump though all kinds of hoops with that (example, Relay), and I wonder if this would help with that. Lumen (Elixir on WASM) has stalled in development and LiveView is popular, but maybe with this, that is not what we want to do anyways.

We have things like event-driven architecture, microservices, and DDD, but maybe that results from using narrowly-scoped primitives that isn't suitable for everything. But we use it for adjacent use-cases because that is all we have for commercial languages.

I'd love to see how this can work out in Elixir.
