This reminds me why I keep going back to C. C++ features often clash with each other (especially using object oriented features with classic C), but from the C programmer's point of view the additional features don't really add to

It is astoundingly intellectually dishonest for anybody who identifies with the American right, which espouses values of personal responsibility and the rights of organizations such as companies and universities to self-govern, to imply tha

The name for this effect appears to be the "Preparedness Paradox" [1]. The effect where people attribute the minimal or reduced harm due to some problem to the problem not having been that serious, instead of attributing it to the

This is an overly paranoid response to someone suggesting to have compassion for others as a form of self-care. The idea is that worrying exessively about yourself can be harmful in itself, not "allow yourself to be exploited".

I believe you are mistaken. This set of numbers is just the set of reals minus the countable infinity of finitely representable numbers. This set should still be densely ordered and so for any member that could be chosen from this set, ther

i think you have an extraneous 0. It would not make sense for it to take a longer time to get from 1,000,000,000 to 2,000,000,000 than from the unix epoch to 1,000,000,000. The time I think you meant to post is Wed May 18 2033 03:33:20 UTC+

I also use GNU Stow + Git and has worked well for me. For files I want to sync that I don't need versioning for and it is important that I have them available even in cases where I may have forgotten to commit my changes on some indivi

It may be unintuitive, but 0.99 recurring is equal to 1 and this can be shown in many ways. qntm has apparently compiled some number of them: https://qntm.org/pointnine

Wow, yeah. I have done some hobby work with digital colors and rendering and I had no idea how used to the visual artifacts from math done on sRGB values directly I was that I just assumed a "fancy" transformation. Thanks for the

It would be nice to have explanations and comparisons of the techniques that are employed for the current behavior and the new behavior. The color gradient criticism feels valid from an aesthetic standpoint but the problem seems to be that

Possible, but this seems of rather a niche interest for a successful SEO strategy. I could grant that it would then be targeted specifically at the HN sort of social networks.

The webpage appears to be made to serve as a warning to data-driven businesses to not fall into the same perverse set of incentives that McNamara created, to encourage business managers to diversify their accounts of the success of their bu

I find that I am primarily frustrated by the uncertainty. It is clear that people independently seek out these substances and we have promising evidence that suggests that this class of drugs has a host of potential beneficial effects to ma

Yeah, it just can not be understated what an absolute gem that man is. I almost wish he'd post more often, but I'd always take quality over quantity, and he delivers.

Thank you for the additional context, I did not know about these particulars. I think it would be very interesting how the tradition might change if someone from a different party (or even an independent) managed to fill a seat. Clearly I a

This is technically true but presents a very misleading version of events. The FCC has 5 seats that are traditionally occupied by partisan representatives. Ajit Pai was appointed by Obama to fill a republican vacancy and Jessica Rocenworcel

I have a similar story but with just non-juul vaping. I actually started smoking again to stop vaping because I was so heavily addicted to the high nicotine availability. At least with cigarettes you get a sick feeling if you smoke too much

I was pleasantly surprised at how enjoyable the video was and the message is very clearly and directly applicable to how we carry ourselves in day-to-day life. If you perform your actions single-mindedly and with purpose, you will find that

Considering how the discussion is developing I think the title should be modified to reflect the content of the link better. It is not clear from the source that the title is necessarily accurate and imposes what may be a misleading interpr

Very good point, the message may be taken out of context that would change the interpretation of the message significantly.

Sounds like a reasonable interpretation. The phrasing of the message that the developer claims to have received is still concerning even keeping that in mind.

Sounds like a statement that would constitute a violation of worker's rights in many countries.

It's also smugly dismissive of a particularly mainstream interpretation of the economy for a more obscure one, as if the author is privy to some information that key economists do not have. That said, I would love to see the arguments

There is a very deep anxiety that stems from knowing that the world is dying and you have very little power to do anything truly impactful about it. This turns to a profound sadness knowing that the natural world you grew up learning about

This is where I am pretty conflicted. I have ingested numerous hallucinogenic drugs, most of them when I was very young. I can only assume that I suffer from HPPD due to the eerily similar symptoms that I experience on a daily basis. Howeve
