This is the actual blog post title but it is clickbait. Also this is HN - people have heard of Nim. I don't want to have to click through to know what the language comparison is.

Anecdotally a doctor friend confirmed this same observation to me after doing a psychiatry rotation - they suggested that most people with depression were just sad but wanted a magic pill to cure the unpleasant emotion.

I think showing awareness of your peers is a positive signal to a good manager in any case so it positively impacts you beyond just good karma Anyone who really buys into "team" will value someone who is actually looking out for t

What? People go on camera to sit exams so they can be invigilated? That's so short sighted. Anyone who wanted to cheat could do anything to circumvent that - first comes to mind is plastering the wall with notes...

What kinds of safety risks are there in storing liquid nitrogen in a DIY context? If your container is well sealed and sufficiently strong (define sufficiently...) can you store it in a room temperature garage? What happens if it's a f

Because when I visit a theatre website to book tickets, whether or not Facebook can stalk me is an orthogonal concern to the primary one of "let me give you my money for your tickets" The number of pages that silently fail or time

Sigh - the number of websites which were broken when browsing the internet from China because trackers from Facebook were not wrapped in exception handling and the endpoints were blocked. Literally couldn't give the companies business.

I worked in a wet lab and we were warned around the dangers of sensitization to bench-top solvents and reagents. This source might explain it (didn't really read it much) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK23481

A shame. A pipe dream of mine has always been to build the greatest mech sim there could be. Maybe some mixture of peripherals, gesture tech and VR will have to be the way forward. But there really wouldn't be a replacement for getting

Even though I am very well acquainted with Japanese the anglicised "rye-yoo" "hadooken" and "shore-yoo-ken" are deeply ingrained in me from all those childhood times spend playing sf2. My favourite was trying t

Yeah you're right. Just because I would never touch crystal meth doesn't mean I should therefore stand in the way of people using cannabis recreationally (or even medically). So yeah I guess it comes back to education rather than

I agree - for many of people(including teens) circumventing restrictions is part of the thrill. That said I do think there has been an escalation of porn over the years. It's really apparent when you look at things from the 70s. Thoug

Having actually worked on a handful of "sev-b" tickets I really don't think the "?" is a big deal. Jeff's email is public and the original correspondence is copied in unchanged. I'm not even convinced Jeff

My own take on this is that it is hard to crystallise why or what a "unit" is. My cop out is it comes down to experience - once you've done this enough and solved enough problems and worked on enough teams, you'll get an

Sorry I never saw this. This both was captivating and inspiring! Thank you for sharing your story, it was quite the journey and it is uplifting that you were able to eventually culminate all the dotted things you've worked on out of pa

If you have a probability distribution of position. Then increment time by one tick. If you have a second probability distribution (assuming some time dependence) then you have now a distribution of distance travelled and therefore a distri

I can't disagree with most of what you've said and it gives quite a classical intuition to the problem but it's still very classically grounded.

Same problem as planting an officer into a criminal org. Presumably the agent has to witness and commit crimes until they've infiltrated deeply enough for their mission

This is fantastic - thank you. How did you find yourself in this field?

This was insightful - thanks! Do you have any people or communities or reading materials you'd recommend to get more familiar with AR in industry?

I can see some on here taking issue with this statement. My current issue with existing modern medicine is that we are very limited by what we can measure but there is a body of scientists that take the existing literature as gospel. Meanwh

You're not wrong but GDP (just like other metrics) are liable to being gamed and over optimized. I am sure plenty of people across America and western Europe would tell you their quality of life has gone down in the last 30-40 years (a

Once upon a time, C and scheme were trendy languages. Since then C has spawned many algol derivatives and the likes of Ruby and Python drew heavy inspiration from Scheme. I'm not sure when we'll be done or what constitutes "d

I'd hope covid might have scarred a couple of film execs into trying something new, but from experience they are a DINOSAUR industry. Good luck convincing them to actually try to run with something before they understand it... For most
