I apologize for not scouring the internet for examples. If you had not sought those examples out and provided them, I probably would have never seen any cases of incorrect fact-checking in my actual life, but I would have seen many cases of misinformation being fact-checked. If you have to intentionally find such cases or hear them shouted from the rooftops by free speech advocates, then they probably aren't that many such cases.

I don't have time to search through an entire Youtube channel, but I will say this: there are many, many doctors out there with factually incorrect views about medical science. I personally have talked with doctors who think that the Covid vaccine killed hundreds of thousands of people (it didn't). I do not necessarily think this doctor is wrong, but from the perspective of a fact-checker who is given the current best knowledge of Covid it is hard to determine who is making genuine good-faith efforts to criticize vs who is simply repeating what they want to be true.

And for the record, you absolutely are allowed to criticize the establishment views. When it comes to important topics like medical science, however, you may just have additional context added saying that this is a contrarian view which (statistically) is more likely to be false than the consensus. Everybody likes to complain loudly about being censored, but the reality is that their views are just being disputed and information provided that they are going against the mainstream view.

If resources are limited and you plan on charging any type of money for the app, either one time or as a subscription, it's almost always better to go iOS first and port to Android later. I obviously can't speak for the ecosystems as a whole but anecdotally of the last few companies I've worked for a strong majority of paying users came from iOS.

*> Am I alone in thinking it is perfectly acceptable to ask a non-technical user to open a command line and type something?*

You're not alone, but that doesn't make it right; rather it puts you in the large bucket of developers that have no idea of:

1) how and why common non-technical people use computers, and

2) why asking them to perform actions they don't understand is a terrible idea both in terms of usability (because the process is difficult, intimidating and error prone) and security (because you're training them to follow instructions that can easily put their system in risk when requested by a malicious actor).

If the actions to follow are really that simple, they should be automated in full; there's no reason why you would show the users anything more complex that a start button to trigger a script, and a confirmation dialog explaining the risks (and maybe requesting elevated permissions).

But if the process is not so simple that it can be automated behind a single button, then why on heaven would you expose them to an interface that requires a complex interaction (copy/paste various large texts from a web page), shows cryptic messages as feedback, and gives no clue on what to do next if any step has errors?

I think metabolic adaptation plays a larger role. In this Biggest Loser followup study, even after six years (!), participants' resting metabolism burned 20% fewer calories than a "typical person of their current weight":

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4989512/#:~:text=co...

> In contrast, a matched group of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery patients who experienced significant metabolic adaptation 6 months after the surgery had no detectable metabolic adaptation after 1 year despite continued weight loss (17). It is intriguing to speculate that the lack of long-term metabolic adaptation following bariatric surgery may reflect a permanent resetting of the body weight set-point (18).

Sorry to hear, Kyle! But keep in mind: good ideas always survive, you just need to find the right business model for them. Maybe Basis didn't work as a VC funded business from day one. But take Foxglove again: they came out of the open-source release of webviz from Cruise. That's how they "bootstrapped". Would love to see what would happen if you worked inside another company that wants to build their own middle-ware but also knows that they do not need to own it and would benefit from more users (because more "test coverage", more developers, more extensions). Then, after a couple of year, it might be ready enough where other companies can try it and get value very quickly (and much faster than they could now).
Not sure I understand - is your goal to live in a barren wasteland? Because you can do that today, very cheaply.

11x Faster Ingest of 1B Rows Using a Controversial DB Architecture
Hey HN!

We're engineers working on a time-series database engine specifically designed for high speed sensor data. We come from backgrounds in aerospace engineering, and were surprised by the lack of database engines built specifically for very high speed data i.e. megahertz vibrational readings.

We wanted to take a much simpler approach than solutions like Timescale or InfluxDB by building a system that was more along the lines of "object storage for sensor data". We don't support complex query languages like SQL or Flux, and instead we're focused on providing great integrations for scientific programming languages like Python.

Since we're tailored towards small numbers of very high speed time-series, we made the somewhat unintuitive decision to keep data for each sensor in its own file (these sensors are called channels). The result was a pretty dramatic increase in read and write speeds for measurement applications like Aerospace, Automotive, and Fusion/Fission research.
Just like a quine ;-)

good advice - I do hard disagree with Sure you can avoid leetCode if you’re okay with not maximizing your compensation by working at one of the FAANG or adjacent companies that pay at top of market.

I think the BIGGEST misconception in our industry is that it is only FAANG that pays TOP dollar. No one teaches CS grads coming out of college the hardest truth of it all - you will get paid what you are worth to the company and your career should be geared towards figuring out how to make yourself more valuable to a company that company is to you - this is where REAL money is and this can be had in A LOT of places. there are maybe 10 people at FAANG that have this - 99.76% of people at FAANG are expendable. too many bodies - most of the people are no ones. on the flip side there are 1,000’s of companies that have been in business for decades - there, with proper planning (much better time spent than fucking leetcode), you can become more valuable to the company than company is to you and your salary will reflect that - even higher than highest of salaries at FAANG…

“Over the past years, EFF has taken millions in funds from Google and Facebook via straight donations and controversial court payouts that many see as under-the-radar contributions. Hell, Google co-founder Sergey Brin’s foundation gave EFF at least $1.2 million.”

It seems to hurt a lot of people’s feelings in SV, but no, you wearing an EFF tshirt and making yearly corporate-matches donations doesn’t remove your culpability for working for big tech. Likewise, the EFF knows how many of the “small” donation come from SV tech employees.

It’s a sham organization that was premised on a faulty understanding of regulatory frameworks that does very, very little of value in the past 15 years.
Interesting approach, I initially assumed they'd be using gop blt.
This may fall in the "you think you do, but you don't category", but I've always wanted a Smalltalk (or similar, not that picky) with a persistent virtual memory.

That is, the VM is mapped to a backing file, changes persisted automatically, no "saving", limited by drive space (which, nowadays, is a lot). But nowadays we also have vast memory space to act as a page cache and working memory.

My contrived fantasy use case was having a simple array name "mail", which an array containing all of my email messages (in email object, of course). Naturally as you get more mail, the array gets longer. Also, as you delete mail, then the array shifts. It's no different, roughly, than the classic mbox format, save it's not just text, its objects.

You can see if you delete a email, from a large (several GBs), there would be a lot of churn. That implies maybe it's not a great idea to use that data structure, but that's not the point. You CAN use that data structure if you like (just like you can use mbox if you like).

Were it to be indexed, that would be done with parallel data structures (trees or hashes or whatever).

But this is all done automagically. Just tweaks to pages in working memory backed by the disk using the virtual memory manager. Lots and lot of potential swapping. C'est la vie, no different from anything else. This what happens when you map 4TB into a 16GB work space.

The problem with such a system, is how fragile is potentially is. Corrupt something and it happily persists that corruption, wrecking the system. You can't reboot to fix it.

Smalltalk suffers from that today. Corrupt the image (oops, did I delete the Object become: method again?), and its gone for good. This is mitigated by having backup images, and the changelist to try to bring you back to the brink but no further.

I'm guessing a way to do that in this system is to use a copy on write facility. Essentially, snapshot the persistent store on each boot (or whatever), and present a list of previous snapshot at start up.

Given the structure of a ST VM you'd like to think this is not that dreadful to work up. I'd like to think a paper napkin implementation PoC would be possible, just to see what it's like. One of those things were the performance isn't really that great, but the modern systems are so fast, we don't really notice it in human terms.

But I do think it would be interesting.
I'm generally a little skeptical about approaches that treat infinitesimals in a symbolic computation. The approach typically is to solve traditional analysis problems but throw in some infinitesimals and show that you can get the same answers. But if you approach infinitesimals from first principles I feel like you run into a lot of problems.

For example it is almost always the case that you can remove higher order infinitesimals, like (dx)^2, when computing things like derivatives. But this always necessitates a step where you translate from infinitesimals to "standard" reals, and then continue on your merry way. We happily round away the higher-order terms when we compute something like ((x + dx)^3 - x^3) / dx, but if we're continuing to do infinitesimal math they may become relevant again. Call that function, f_1(x) = 3x^2 + 3xdx + dx^2; we'll typically just call this f_2(x) = 3x^2, but these functions are not equivalent if we then proceed to compute (f(x) - 3x^2) / dx, which, presumably, we can just do because we've admitted this horror of a syntax into our formal language.

I'm very skeptical of this being useful outside of being able to reason about trivial limits for this reason.
Well, rush hour is what matters. As those of us who have worked on large distributed systems are aware, you have to provision for peak load. Peak load for cars is much, much worse than peak load for buses. Roads and parking lots are also relatively inflexible, unlike buses and trains where you can run more in one direction depending on time of day.

> Yes, and that's great. The world where people are free to move is so much better than Soviet-style arrangements where you have to live in your factory's provided units. With great transit, sure.

I appreciate the value in being able to move freely, but cars also constrain in many ways. They force more building to happen at the wildland-urban interface, to devastating effect as seen in the Palisades fire.

More importantly, current zoning and parking regulations make modern America very far from a free market. Not as far away as the Soviets were, but definitely nowhere close to reflecting people's true preferences once all benefits and costs are factored in. I doubt cars would be nearly as central in a market where single-family zoning was abolished and the full externalities of driving were captured.

> More importantly: latent verifiable secure DKIM signatures on archived emails offer no value to users; they literally only have real-world value to attackers.

I don't think this is quite true. First of all, this is not only valuable to attackers, it's also valuable in a court of law to establish the truth of what happened. Secondly, it can be valuable to me to be able to prove that you sent me an email, even if you wished to deny it, also mostly in legal contexts.

I'm not sure that's correct in practice. The people that harbor vocal distrust in agencies, professions, etc. really do seem more apt to directly believe whatever is in opposition to the "distrusted" message. While your proposal remains a logical alternative to them, adoption seems markedly low.

Interesting idea, but once you add scoping:

do {
let value = prepare();
} while (value.is_valid) {
process(value);
}

Can the second block of the do-while see `value` in its lexical scope? If yes, you have this weird double brace scope thing. And if no, most non-trivial uses will be forced to fall back to `if (...) break;` anyway, and that's already clear enough imo.

Not really no.

It is true that we don't actually orbit the centre of the Sun, but it is very close.

The problem with Mars getting close is that Mars is quite small and the Earth is a long way away and there are many other planets, some much more massive.

Mercury is actualy lot closer a lot more often (Mercury is the most-often close to all the planets by virtue of it's orbit close to the Sun).

I will not answer to everything because what's the point.

Yes, sharing the code can be one way to find bugs, I've said that already. Yes, sharing the code can help bootstrap another team, I've said that already.

What people don't realize is that reproducing from scratch the algorithm is also very very efficient. First, it's arguably a very good way to find bugs: if the other team does not have the exact same number as you, you can pinpoint exactly where you have diverged. When you find the reason, in the large majority of the case, it totally passed through several code reviewer. Reading a code thinking "does it make sense" is not an easy way to find bug, because bugs are usually in place where the code of the original author looked good when read.

And secondly, there is a contradiction in saying "people will study the code intensively" and "people will go faster because they don't have to write the code".

> Remember the title is "one of my papers got declined today"

Have you even read what Tao says? He explains that he himself have rejected papers and has probably generated similar apparently paradoxical situations. His point is NOT that there is a problem with paper publication, it is that paper rejection is not such a big deal.

For the rest, you keep mixing up "peer review", "code sharing", "replication crisis", ... and because of that, your logic just make 0 sense.
I say "bad paper that turns out to have errors (involuntary or not) are anecdotal" and you answer "11% of the biomedical publication have replication problem". Then when I ask you to give example where the replication crisis was avoided by sharing the data, you talk about bad papers that turns out to have errors (involuntary or not).

And, yes, I used CERN as an example because 1) I know it well, 2) if what you say is correct, how on hell CERN is not bursting with fire right now? You are pretending that sharing code or sharing data is a good idea and part of good practice. If it is true, how do you explain that CERN forbid it and still is able to generate really good papers. According to you, CERN would even be an exception where replication crisis, bad paper and peer-review problem is almost existent (and therefore I got the wrong idea). But if it is the case, how do you explain that: despite not doing what you pretend will help avoiding those, CERN does BETTER?!

But by the way, at uni, I became very good friend with a lot of people. Some of them scientists in other discipline. We regularly have this kind of discussion because it is interesting to compare our different world. The funny part is that I did not really think of how sharing the code or the data is not such a big deal after (it still can be good, but it's not "the good practice"), I realise it because another person, a chemist, mentioned it.

They don't prevent cheating, they just make it harder. Cheat developers are still gonna bypass it, after all it is their business. And even if they did prevent cheating, it wouldn't be justifiable because the software is so invasive it can be classified as malware.

It's just like DRM. Like copying, cheating simply cannot be prevented if we are in control of the machine. This technological arms race can only end in one of two ways. Either the corporations manage to own our computers or they lose. Neither result is particularly great but I know which one I'm willing to accept.

Sure. Pascal btw. had a pretty "flexible" goto statement, I would say nearly as flexible as BASIC; Apple ][ Pascal was a bit more structured though. In original Pascal, you could use goto to even jump out of a procedure; Apple Pascal could only jump within a procedure, and only if goto was enabled at all, if I remember correctly.
