We all know what a healthy person looks like from toddler's age. It takes mental gymnastics to argue otherwise. The fact that we can only think of a couple examples of obviously fit folks who had health problems, like the other chap tried to do, is an exception that proves the rule.

Do yourself a favor and try to break away from the overly legislative mindset. Meaning is not bounded by words and definitions. The things that matter -- like true love, peace, happiness, health, contentment, and more-- are not bounded by rules and definitions. We all know those things when we see them.

If someone presents themselves as an authority on health issues and how to cope with them, they should obviously be healthy.

Which is it? Did you dismiss him or did you speak to him? If you dismissed him as you claim, the quote, even ignoring how it is taken out of context, doesn't work. It explicitly refers to where there is an exchange happening.

I was in Pacific Palisades when the fire started yesterday. I've never seen one spread so fast. It went from there being smoke way in the distance and people going about their lives normally, then 90 minutes later the fire was everywhere and people were panicking and evacuating en masse.

You think if you got hit by a bus tomorrow your employer would go out of business?

my current employer - no, I am winding down my career. my former employer obviously not since I am no longer there but they paid me 6 months extra to do nothing but train people when I was leaving and have also done “emergency” work for several years after.

companies should strive of course to not have 10(000)x irreplacable employees but in 1,000’s of places they are always there. and path to become one of such people is easier than slumming it at FAANG I guarantee you
I suspect that there was little data to analyze how much attention the ads were commanding back then.

I often think about how so many things now have been optimized (mostly for profit) to the extreme by data-driven processes, with big corporate marketing certainly being one of them.

Up until two or three decades ago, I suspect that it was all based on tradition and the "gut feel" of out-of-touch and arrogant executives talking to each other over drinks (thinking of scenes from Mad Men here).

Deserts are generally uninhabitable by their very nature, but these persistent fires are primarily due to lack of proper underbrush care and other preventative measures.

California fires are a classic case of "We tried nothing and we're out of ideas!", speaking as a former Californian I honestly think the faster solution at this point is for enough of the state to burn down that pretending the problem doesn't exist is no longer good enough.
Can it actually tell specific esp boards apart?

That'd be a lifesaver. I've often spent longer trying to find the closest sounding board name to what's silkscreened on the bottom of an esp board than I have writing code or programming it.
Your thesis is way off, and people didn’t understand climate back when these areas were settled. And really, we still don’t know how to or can’t politically manage wildfires well.

Part of climate change is that this man-induced change is making previously hospitable areas much less so.
This bench seems to be entirely python based.
Are there similar benchmarks that test different languages for these tools?
Yes, agreed - except that the Spanish name convention you describe isn't about patronymics exactly. Patronymics are something like a given language's version of "son [or daughter] of X" where X is a given name of the parent (usually the father).

By contrast, Spanish last names simply use two last names, with a child taking one last name from each parent. Traditionally this is the father's first last name followed by the mother's first last name, though efforts toward gender equality have made the law more flexible nowadays in both Spain and many other countries.

It doesn't violate Spanish naming conventions for given names to be reused in the next generation, and some families do that, but that isn't patronymic since it's not a "son/daughter of X" name, just a reused given name.

“The unsprung mass (colloquially unsprung weight) of a vehicle is the mass of the suspension, wheels or tracks (as applicable), and other components directly connected to them. This contrasts with the sprung mass (or weight) supported by the suspension, which includes the body and other components within or attached to it. Components of the unsprung mass include the wheel axles, wheel bearings, wheel hubs, tires, and a portion of the weight of driveshafts, springs, shock absorbers, and suspension links.

…

The unsprung mass of a typical wheel/tire combination represents a trade-off between the pair's bump-absorbing/road-tracking ability and vibration isolation.“

Also worth noting, and the article briefly alludes to this; college costs are higher, the difference between jobs that pay well and those that don't is wider, and everyone is very aware of all this. My guess is young people today are possibly less laissez-faire than in the past. People are worrying about their future earlier.
Well, just a single example, but I got into the field because I was passionate about it. A decade later, most of that's gone, beaten out of me on the altar of scrum ceremonies and endless product churn. I do my job and go home.
I live south of the evacuation warning zone and the wind and fires have turned the entire San Gabriel Valley into an apocalyptic scene. Detritus littered all over the roads (with tons of dry flammable eucalyptus branches, yay!) and there’s ash falling from the sky in big flakes. Air quality in the tank though it was even worse a few hours ago and everything smells like smoke.

This is the worst fire I’ve seen in SoCal since the Valley fire.
It's possible the mechanisms of the consequence are the biomechanics you described. They don't have to be mutually exclusive.
One can imagine an IR monitoring (satellite or high flying drones like Reaper, one drone can see an IR source like a tank from 100km, so it would take just a few drones to monitor the the whole state for fires) with [almost] automated immediate dispatching of the fleet of drones (not small quadcopters, more like WWII size bombers) once the fire is detected. Would be much cheaper than having multi-billion dollar fires every year (these LA fires have already hit $50B as of today).
The problem is that the world itself is just too complex that without nuance, you're not talking about anything meaningful- so what's the point?

On HN this is particularly challenging because we get a mix of experts and non-experts (and people that have different levels of pedanticness) - so almost any possible statement is going to be attacked for both lacking nuance or being too detailed (and frequently both at the same time). However the people here are nicer, more open minded, and more accepting of nuance than most places online.
does this work? I find when I try the same to be “worse” in some sense, but perhaps I am not “doing it right” for the lack of better explanation…

Life is much safer now so mundane relative risks look much worse. When illness or famine lurks a every corner, no one is questioning a kid venturing 3 miles on his bike to buy mom a pack of smokes and buy himself some Cracker Jacks. Now you're considered Satan if you allow that and some prosecutor will ramble about predators and kidnapping at your trial.

Wow, that's wild—almost seems like it would've been less work to just rewrite it manually at that point!

But yeah, the more cards there are on the screen at once, the lower the framerate gets—very noticeably so, when you're e.g. looking at the view of your entire deck, or when you draw several cards at once. I just assumed it was some inefficiency that entirely unnoticeable on a high-end PC (250+FPS, no problem), but was very apparent on the Switch. I never would've guessed there would be something far crazier at play than I imagined!

Looks like you just have not deal with bad traders on platforms. I once found on local aggregator product too cheap to be good (unfortunately at that moment only two stores sell these product).

I stored their number in my notebook and going to my shopping, calling them from bus stop, and they answered me some nonsense.

I made my shopping, and some walk, then opened platform and these shops already disappear. Less than hour.

In other case I managed to make order and paid from card, and also shop disappeared. - In a week I received SMS from bank "your payment returned to your account".
> people didn’t understand climate back when these areas were settled

Agree on Palisades. My original thesis is about new construction in Florida and Houston and in e.g. the middle of the California woods. That is settlement done when we did know the risks.
> "food deserts", low-income census tracts that are more than one mile from a supermarket in urban or suburban areas and more than 10 miles from a supermarket in rural areas.

One mile. That's absurdly narrow. They are tailoring the definitions to meet the resultant behavior. You can grocery shop once every two weeks or less and be healthier than the average American by eating some of the cheapest possible foods, such as rice, beans, and cabbage, carrots, pasta... as an upper income individual I feed my kids this stuff all the time, its dirt cheap and they (we) are happy to eat it. There's serious problems to be dealt with in the US with respect to lower income support, but IMHO food related ones are mostly cultural / educational, not "lives 2 miles from super market, impossible to eat healthy now".

Based on the sorts of recommendations in [1], probably not to any meaningful degree, if at all. Much of what it's asking for is table-stakes functionality, along the lines of "have a factory reset feature", "use encryption when transmitting data", or "have a product support page" - things that any responsible developer should have been doing already.

> That can only be backed by data.

Okay. But the request was for citation, not data around mobility. A request for the latter would at least carry something, albeit unless you are an expert yourself you likely won't be able to take much from it, but that is not what was requested. Still, I posit that elaboration is the better approach. If the person is, in fact, an expert in the subject they may have better ways of broaching the subject with you than dumping raws value upon you. And if dumping raw data is truly the best they can offer, that is still apt to be where they end up in their elaboration anyway, so in the worst case you haven't lost anything. Demanding that you know the best way to continue the conversation when it is you without the requisite knowledge seems foolhardy.

> there are still other words that can be referenced

Why reference when he can reiterate his own words, if there is merit in retelling what he has already told before? HN is not a Wiki trying to index historical knowledge, it is decidedly a link aggregator combined with discussion forum, with the latter being the feature that is relevant to the context. Further, this seems to imply that you don't trust the words on HN, but if that is the case why bother with HN at all? There is no utility if nothing can be taken from the words posted here.

> Indeed, it's as if you came from space to dictate alien discourse protocols to humans.

I have never seen this behaviour outside of Reddit (and where Reddit memes have leaked into HN). Humans having a discussion usually talk to each other in the present, not go back and forth pointing to quotes written in the past and likely written by a third-party. Even from my alien vantage point I recognize that as something humans would find strange. What makes you think it is human protocol?

I've been given a lot of suggestions for debouncing switches over the years. I'm just doing hobby stuff, either I have an endstop switch for some CNC axis, or more recently, some simple press buttons to drive a decade counter or whatever. My goal for one project was just to have a bit counter that I could step up, down, reset, or set to an initial value, with no ICs (and no software debounce).

I got lots of different suggestions, none of which worked, until I found one that did:
1) switch is pulled high or low as needed
2) switch has capacitor to ground
3) switch signal goes through a schmitt trigger

I designed this into its own PCB which I had manufactured and soldered the SMD and through-hole and ICs to that, and treat it as its own standalone signal source. Once I did that, literally every obscure problem I was having disappeared and the downstream counter worked perfectly.

When you look at the various waveforms (I added a bunch of test points to the PCB to make this easy) the results of my PCB produces perfect square waves. I found it interesting how many suggested hardware solutions I had to try (simple RC filter did not work) and how many "experts" I had to ignore before I found a simple solution.

Which workflow would you build with Flows? Share your ideas below!
Yeah, nowadays i try to buy many things that are "not smart" in order to avoid what you experienced with the smart scale. That being said, i wonder if what you're asking for is more on the warranty side, rather than security/promise side? To clarify, i am 100% in agreement with you that after a company stops supporting a product, they should open source it (which could create a secondary ecosystem of techs who offer services to support said open source software if a person is not inclined to manage the OSS themselves, etc.)...However, technically wouldn't a company's "promise" to support software be more like a warranty? And in that case, whatever gov. agency who oversees warranties would need to nudge business to comply...nevertheless both this cybermark, a warranty on software lifecycle, and other things are the LEAST that shoild exist nowadays.

Exactly. All the places I went to 30 years ago for a rave are now nice areas.

Someone would call the cops for the amount of noise now before the party even started.

Then factor in fentanyl.

Maybe most of all though, in the mid 90s electronic music was a new thing in the US.

The first rave I went to , I really didn't even know what I was going to. The reason I stopped going was the novelty had completely worn off. Amazing times but the falloff was rather steep.
Shh, please, hush. The temporarily-impoverished billionaires don't want you picking on their brethren.

Yes. Broadly speaking, in one:many messaging, speaking with conviction (and later qualifying) lands better than constant qualification.

about this seems to be the sentiment here.

i beg to differ - this is a chance for stackoverflow to raise from the ashes.

there are many questions chatgpt or claude can't answer. they just have to be about something very new, a little niche and non-trivial. this is the diet stackoverflow needs and might very well be starved by chatgpt!

the peak times of stackoverflow and many of its stackexchange siblings were just amazing. so many smart people asking interesting questions and providing insightful and competent answers. on there i learned how to ask questions precisely. it was like the practical complement to studying math.
