What a weird stat. I've never seen anyone take a fraction of a median like that. I can't think of any reason to create such a strange figure besides being dishonest.

Whether or not this is true, that is not what the messaging is.

There is no question that the person creating and publishing the prime is infringing copyright. However, they aren't the ones actually publishing the information. The copyright infringer creates the prime, proves something interesting

I've realized a lot of the same things. My understanding now is that it is the physical feelings themselves that are the stress. Managing stress is about learning to identify it and then learning how to best take care of it (which you

I read a book by Eckhart Tolle that gave me two takeaways. The first was that the book was full of nonsense. The second was that it was clear why this nonsense was so effective for people. What are the downsides to suspending scientific acc

How hard is it to work internationally like that? I'd imagine its especially challenging to hop between countries unless you work for yourself.

What's the deal with service workers? I read up on them and do not see how they keep connections open when the page is closed.

I don't get the appeal of vim over vim emulators. I've always used essentially stock vim with no plugins so I find myself using JetBrains emulated vim. A language server has become necessary for me. If vim LSP competes with JetBra

The problem is that each algorithm likely has a constant factor much larger than the previous. This does not matter for the runtime complexity of any individual algorithm but when you string them together the time complexity explodes.

This link is extremely interesting. Keep zooming out all the way if you haven't already.

This is what I choose to believe. Even if it is not true I will still believe it because it is so satisfying.

Even knowing a polynomial algorithm for SAT would not have practical implications unless the algorithm has a reasonable run time. Matrix multiplication is a great example of a problem where the best known runtime complexity algorithms are n

Even proving P=NP would not necessarily have any practical applications. Practicality is typically not a concern in complexity theory. Even some problems that have been shown to be in P are still usually solved with non-polynomial algorithm

GNU Readline has destroyed my ability to work on non-readline editors. It's worse when I am using a machine where caps lock means caps lock. I have it bound to control (on hold) and escape (on tap). When I typo on a different machine a

Apple wins in the hardware department by far. Even before M1. If this targets anyone it targets developers who play video games.

There may be no incentive for the farmer but plenty of incentive for the scientist, the government and the philanthropist. My conclusions is that GHG from cattle is simply not as big of a deal as the environmentalists would make it seem. An

I find this hard to believe. Here is my epistemic estimation: if this were legitimate, it would be huge news. I've been hearing about this for several years now but somehow it never amounts to anything. I would have expected large scal

If you hit Control-X-E it will open whatever is set as $EDITOR in a temporary session you can paste your command in to. I'd recommend vim. You can even use vim to edit your command. Once you save and quit your command will be run. The

Is this a new rule? I can't find anywhere that actually links or describes any new regulations but I am trying to figure out why this is just happening now.

In your example, you are giving concrete numbers. Concrete numbers are extremely useful. If you make a comparison without concrete numbers, it can often be misleading. It goes without saying that concrete numbers can be misleading on their

In the past few hundred years, technological progress has been anti-correlated with environmental health. We live in an age with the most prosperity and luxury but also the most pollution. Bitcoin is no different. As bitcoin has descended i

Electricity per transaction is an extremely poor way to communicate anything useful. It says nothing about the actual harm of Bitcoin and only leaves readers (and bloggers) drawing their own conclusions.

Ask HN: how old were you when you started noticing this? It took me far too long to develop meta-conversational awareness. I must have been in my 20s before I picked up on it. It feels like a superpower in some ways.

Do you find it strange that an article about methane does not mention what percentage of the greenhouse gas effect that methane accounts for? I'd ask everyone to read this article, write down what percentage you think methane accounts
