> Russia not being communist

There are current pictures of active Russian military vehicles bearing the USSR-style hammer and sickle, and there are reportedly older Russians who still idolize Stalin—who is responsible for over 20 million deaths (accountings vary).

Economically, of course, Russia is no longer communist, but some would argue (pedantically) that it technically never was. At any rate, Russia never completely disavowed the previous system, and Putin has tried to rehabilitate his country's previous regimes, attributing their failures to Western treachery. So arguably their flavor of "Communism" was never fully erased and veins of it still persist in their society.
> Does a random chef who gets an allergy notification at a restaurant know that?

I certainly hope that anyone cooking food at a restaurant knows that butter is a milk product.
Speak for yourself. There are a huge number of problems resulting from compulsive behavior, trained helplessness, and thoughtless consumerism. Obesity is one, but they also include widespread misery, substance abuse, and loneliness. I think it is still worth trying to help and encourage people to take control of their lives and thrive.

That said, I wasn't criticizing drugs. I think they will help many with weight. I was criticizing the idea that sugar taxes and other attempts at government disincentives can reverse the obesity epidemic while the average American still watches more than 3 hours of TV a day and binge eats. Maybe we should try putting a flyer in the mail next?

It is like trying to reduce domestic abuse by placing a tax on baseball batts - wholly inadequate for the objective and indicating a fundamental failure to understand the nature of the problem.
>I don't use facebook

Not who you’re replying to, but yes, because “alternative milks” like almond milk, oat milk, etc. do not contain (dairy) milk. Dairy farmers raised this objection and (temporarily?) forced producers of milk alternatives to stop using the standalone word “milk” on their packaging, but I still see it as part of a compound word on packaging.

Thus “chocolate milk” and “strawberry milk” mean milk mixed with chocolate or strawberries, while “oatmilk” and “almondmilk” may contain no milk at all. Though I’m not sure whether a product that mixed almond flavoring into dairy milk could be labeled “almond milk”.

People with dairy allergies shouldn’t be relying on the presence or absence of a space to determine if a product is safe for consumption.
If I pick up an item that should have an allergen that I’m used to seeing, and it’s not listed, I can safely trust it’s because they made it without that ingredient somehow.

That’s why they say to throw it out. 90% of people will ignore the recommendation. Some will dispose out of an abundance of caution, some will dispose because they had the thought I listed at the top of your comment.
I'm looking forward to the military coup! it seems that America is turning into a new Turkey. you can either have freedom or democracy, but not both.
My first thought was if mass got factored into it, but it looks like mass has already crept up pretty high for other cars. A Toyota Prius is about 3200 lbs and a Model 3 is about 4000 lbs or 3800 lbs for their lightest variant. My mental models were outdated and still imagined sedans as about one ton and change. While bigger not as significant a factor as I initially thought.
Perhaps it got started with people misunderstanding / misremembering drying off by rubbing snow on wet skin. Being wet in cold conditions can be a death sentence so you need to dry off quickly, and this is one of the recommended methods.

I get the logic and I get where you come from.

I come from a place where of all "information sources" scholar.google.com is still one of the slightly more trustworthy ones. the review process has its quirks, but it's better than no peer review at all.

in that world, where academic peer reviews appears to be a last "bastion" of reliability, a statement like the one that started this thread is something I feel the urge to "nib the bud".

if we were in a room I'd suggest we have beer of sorts and a good laugh about the irony of this thread.

I think you need to be careful to not initiate the very rhetoric game you want to fight. if your top level statement had been your anecdata, and maybe a question about the pervasiveness of this phenomenon and if there is nuance? like, if the journal asks an expert in the field about a review and they do know relevant papers, maybe indeed some of their own, a citation request may be just fine?

I'd said nothing. just nothing.

but the thread starter overgeneralized the missing trustworthiness of the scientific peer process as a whole.

and there I dared to ask: is that really so? should we stop trusting published science, in general, and "do our own research" ;-)

do you see, where I come from? do you see the irony of this thread?

and can we have a figurative beer?

> Generally, it seems to me that a lot of people are saying, basically, "I don't want to engage in a social network that isn't and echo chamber of my beliefs."

The issue with Twitter and a lot of social media is that you don't often encounter opposing views that are nuanced, thoughtful and constructive, but rather hot takes, rants and memes. Even when those share your same worldview they can be tiring, but when they don't, they can drain your mental energy quickly.

Perhaps people do want to live in their own bubble, but I wouldn't say we can judge that based on Twitter just because of how toxic it can be.
The Art of Workplace Finesse
Why would anyone teach with code that cannot be used for legal reasons?

Instead of solving simple, common problems in many programming languages so that nobody has to ever do so again, this seems to make programming harder by excluding such solutions from being used.

So now you have to find work arounds in order to NOT use the simple solutions in Rosetta.

This is so evil.

Should be called the tower of babel of code, rather than the rosetta stone.

Was going to say the same. I ran into the same problems when I bought my first house and spent tens of hours trying to untangle and reduce costs. Thank you for tackling this
The people aren't on Twitter, pretty sure every time I've checked the stats Twitter users are a relative minority. It caters to the sort of people who enjoy communication without discussion - that might be the police's target audience for their communication but it isn't most people.

I've been annoyed over the years because (not having an account) sometimes Twitter won't let me look at Tweets. Hopefully none of them contained useful info.
I would! There isn't a "new milk free butter" e-newsletter I'm subscribed to. I go to the store, see the things in the shelves, read the label, and then buy one that doesn't say milk (or soy) on it. Not being able to have large amounts of milk or soy without shitting myself doesn't mean I'm now on some secret "new non milk foods" subreddit or discord. We don't have a Facebook group that have regular in-person monthly meetings for, and have a yearly conference in San Diego where we all dress up like our least favorite cheeses. It's not an identity for me that I can't have milk or soy, it's an unfortunate biology weirdness that my body forces me to take part in.

What do you mean by Mastadon is a bloated sloppy mess?

It was my understanding that Mastadon has _far less_ javascript than Twitter, not more.

The UI for mastadon always seemed far cleaner, more performant, and importantly - capable of actually loading, compared to twitter

Essentially, anytime something is shared from twitter I simply ignore it, because it may take a good 40 minutes to figure out the workaround to view it, compared to Mastadon which 'just works'.
Is “almond butter” butter? What about “clarified butter”?
It's federation that is the problem. Federation leads to fragmentation, which ultimately is a headwind to adoption. IMHO you need a single network that allows people to choose the "channels" that you can view/join and then people that join that channel start hosting and replicating the content. Also, great filtering controls are critical to the success of such a platform.

Not sure if there is really anything attempting to implement essentially Twitter with this model or not? I would be interested though if someone has run across or is working on a system like that.
Your local TV channels and newspapers aren’t commons either; they’re as privately owned as Twitter or Bluesky. Yet local governments make good use of them too, and have for many decades.

Things do not need to be publicly owned or distributed to be useful to society.
> Somehow publish to all of the above?

I would have assumed this one. What's the downside?
The ironic bit is that conceptually Bluesky is RSS with WebSub <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebSub>

- PDS are websites with an RSS feeds, each a publisher

- Relays are WebSub hubs aggregating many sources into a central host

- App views, labelers, Feed Generators, whatever are subscribers being alerted when a new entry is received, making their internal sauce. They're also hubs for pushing content to any step that comes after

- PDS are at the end, subscribers of labelers, app views and feed generators. They make their internal sauce to have a nice social-oriented UI.

A properly decentralized, boring-tech Bluesky can take this form. Steps are additive, not all of them are needed

1. A single, simple server that can receive and emit RSS feeds. Emission of RSS feeds must be able to include content from received entries. Directly subscribe to the people you want to follow, you're done. Social readers <https://indieweb.org/social_reader> do something like that with indieweb formats.

2. A network of WebSub hubs to more efficiently get and distribute everyone's content. superfeedr.com is one of them, https://switchboard.p3k.io/ is another one, but we need many more. Also RSS feeds need to have a server-side that sends a notification to the hub when something is published. Having hubs make searching and having a general view easier. In fact we already have something like that, it's called Planets <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planet_(software)>

3. Any filtering can happen on top. "People with blue hair", "Posts without tuna in them", any algorithm is anyone's to build

All the layers already exist, but like any social endeavour it's all about the network effect. Having a simple thing to install where you can post, follow and search will make wonders
Macaroni art versus the Mona Lisa.
So far, I’ve had a very good user experience, but I haven’t yet tried using it exclusively for an extended period to compare its battery life with that of a bare Apple Silicon macOS. Mapping shortcuts now...
Seriously... seeing how people discuss this is so strange. My wife and I literally just did the deed and made a baby. Didn't think a whole lot about it. But as I've said elsewhere in this thread. Part of this problem is that that 'let's-just-have-fun' attitude tends to dissipate by the time people are having kids these days. My wife and I married young for the 'well-educated' crowd (at 22), and I think my family size benefited from our collective on-going brain development. We did not even discuss this before getting pregnant the first time. It was just fun. I think as people age, hormones go down, etc, people start making this a bigger decision.
The humor lies in the inherent absurdity of the critique itself. Obviously no one will use this in production. There’s nothing especially clever you’re missing.
Thanks for mentioning this, I'm prioritizing this as a feature!
> wood frogs spend the winter frozen

> syrupy sugar solution prevents the cells from freezing

So they don't freeze. This is click bait.
That's not the argument at all.

These public entities post _exclusively_ on Twitter as if it's the public square. It's not and it shouldn't be. The argument is not about how easy it is to create a Twitter account.
Apple users can send a facetime link that is usable on non-apple devices.
> You have two choices: privately owned or government run

Or worker owned, or shared ownership (basically 1/3 capital, 1/3 workers and 1/3 local council, ratios are not usually that, it is often 60% for the capital owners, but you see the point)
I spend a lot of time driving around Irvine, CA and it feels like the Tesla (especially Model Y) capital of the world. And I am not at all surprised to see these sorts of fatality statistics about these vehicles because their drivers are, far and away, the most distracted and oblivious drivers I have ever encountered on the road in 28 years of driving.
> he discusses using a grammar to restrict to only legal moves

Whether a chess move is legal isn't primarily a question of grammar. It's a question of the board state. "White king to a5" is a perfectly legal move, as long as the white king was next to a5 before the move, and it's white's turn, and there isn't a white piece in a5, and a5 isn't threatened by black. Otherwise it isn't.

"White king to a9" is a move that could be recognized and blocked by a grammar, but how relevant is that?
I would suspect that it is the weight of the vehicle that is the primary driver there. There is some additional negative effects of the vehicle being taller (increasing roll), but that is probably mostly mitigated by the battery pack pulling down the (vertical) center of mass. But certainly the aerodynamics creating less down-force would play some role.
In the manual they have the symbols for zero (0) and the letter O switched.

I think it's actually refreshing to see the top comments and constructive criticism be about privacy concerns. It shows that even for little "Show HN" projects, there is growing intolerance of half-assing it. Not saying OP in particular is half-assing it, but it's good to see these questions being regularly asked front and center. I honestly wish the Tech Media paid more attention to privacy and security instead of just copy-pasting companies' PR statements as "articles."
The ranking is still strange to me though. The model S is lower than the model Y even though it is smaller and faster, both of which should make it less safe, and the model 3 didn't even make the list.

Is there any evidence of this outside Elizabeth Warren's book? Most reports say that at most 10% of women get alimony.

Not new, but I believe that it's getting worse.
I suppose it took a day, but there was nothing spookier than replying on a different thread only to update with a black bar and me frantically trying to figure out what happened over the course of a few minutes of my typing.

Have you tried running a server? Even a single user instance is a resource hogger.

> Everyone with an allergy knows to check that section of the packaging (it comes after the long list of ingredients), and you can trust it to be accurate. It can't just be right most of the time... it has to always be right.

Right, so if you pick up a package that says "Unsalted Butter" and nothing else, who the hell is going to assume no milk was used? Even worse when the ingredients listed on the same box say Milk as literally the only ingredient.

Along the same lines, if you have a peanut allergy and you buy a jar that says Peanut Butter with an ingredients list that starts with "Peanuts", you kind of deserve to pay the stupid tax.

> If that trust is broken, America will be a much less safe place.

America can simultaneously be the safest place on earth for those with food allergies, while avoiding this kind of bureaucratic nonsense.

Instead, to please some faceless career bureaucrats, 80,000 pounds of butter will be destroyed to "protect" the dumbest among us.

Common misconception of non Lispers that macros are equivalent to compile time programming. You’re not simply moving the evaluation to compile time, you’re moving it upwards outside the program space into a higher dimension of programmability.

Not to dog on C++ unfairly, CTE is pretty neat after all.

Funnily enough, PGs “On Lisp” has some really neat macros in it that demonstrate capabilities that just can’t be replicated with template based macros, iirc.

I think Bluesky has won the battle to become the replacement for Twitter. A lot of the attempts were all trying some weird gimmick like posting voice notes and stuff. Bluesky has the whole federation stuff without actually having it, which is ok, but for the rest of it. They're clearly just copying features over from Twitter and adding in some of the most requested features for Twitter.

This makes me super happy I was on that train early and got the "iain.bsky.social" handle.
A friend was a Vietnamese POW. The first torture done was to tourniquet his upper arms until they colored to black and then loose the bindings (repeatedly).

Returning circulation is much more brutal than it might sound.
No, it only appears as a gotcha. It's actually providing an insight. There are read-only sites and there are sites that people use, and for the most part that splits the universe of sites. For better or for worse, even read-only users primarily go to sites that others interact with.
> We can think of many other strings used by programmers that are not common English, and many strings used by mathematicians that are.

Are you saying special symbols aren't more common in mathematics than in programming? I simply disagree. Mathematicians hardly use strings at all, e.g. for function names or variables, while they are very common in programming. Mathematicians mostly use single letters in Roman or Greek alphabet, and sometimes with various strange styles like fraktur, double strokes etc.

BMI is quite useful and fairly accurate for your average American, it probably covers 90% of us who engage in little to mediocre amounts of physical exercise. Everyone knows it’s for average people and not physical exercise enthusiasts, those people are into healthy enough to know they aren’t fat. BMI is an easy measure for doctors and patients to get a rough estimate. Your PCP will not tell you to lose weight if you show him your abs and pecs. Obviously this implies in-person doctors.
> You might know, but does someone visiting your house know that?

Well, yes, because 99 percent of people in general know that butter is made from milk, and that includes 100 percent of the people who might visit my house. And if I did somehow have a visitor so profoundly broken that they didn't know it, I would notice that.

Also approximately 100 percent of professional cooks know that butter is made from milk.
Renting is actually not that expensive in NYC relative to buying a condo of similar size and quality, I punched in numbers for a 2b2b in LIC and it’s just about a wash over 10 years
Yep. When we closed on our house we got a whole lecture from the title company about how frequently data breaches lead to wire fraud and to not trust anyone. Mortgage originators are constantly under attack to try to get at the information that OP is asking people to just casually upload.

Their aggressive dismissal of the concern is not a good look.
In my experience, most of the time this can be solved by resetting expectations. Once people learn that asking basic questions won’t open them up to mockery, things move a lot smoother for everyone.

After all, a culture on 1:1 communication has a lot of downsides. The same question gets asked repeatedly, replies don’t become searchable, the same people (usually the most experienced) end up being constantly tapped for answers
Good job on the product and launching @aaln!
