Nashoooon It's not just obesity. Drugs like Ozempic will change the world

It's so weird to me that with a vaccine against COVID the populace was going all conspiracy theorist. Saying the longterm effects are unknown etc. But with these kind of drugs there are suddenly no issues.

Nashoooon Meta Launches AI Studio in US

As someone who already finds it weird to invest that time in following a real person that I don't know personally, this just another weird page in the book that is Social Media..

Nashoooon How fast can a human possibly run 100 meters?

Just because it is not a team sport does not make it not social?

Nashoooon Egypt's pyramids may have been built on a long-lost branch of the Nile

Because, why would you we when we have those machines.. What a weird argument. Just look at how we used to be build cathedrals until recently and how many labourers died. Heck, take a look at the construction of the World Cup Stadiums in Qatar...

Nashoooon The Guide to Git I Never Had

I use this to explain git to any junior having troubles.

Nashoooon The Defenestrations of Prague (1419–1997)

Nashoooon Interview with a blind developer on how he works (2017)

That's interestingly exactly the case for me if I close my eyes. Through the eyelids I can tell dark, neutral and bright.

Nashoooon Java 22 Released

Definitely also for writing it.

Nashoooon How AI is changing gymnastics judging

Not really. It depends on the quality of the measure and any underlying assumptions. If the target is knowing who is the fastest then a simple stopwatch (measure) is 100% aligned with the target. So the measure becoming the target is completely fine.

The problem comes when one (or multiple) measure(s) are an approximation of some ideal measure for the target. For example the famous example [1] of the measuring rat tails to determine killed rats (target). The faulty assumption here was that the only way to hand in a rat's tail is by killing them.

Relevant XKCD: https://xkcd.com/466/

Nashoooon Update on KDP Title Creation Limits

The problem is not that no one can distinguish it. It's that the intended audience (beginners in Python in your example) can't distinguish it and are not able to easily find and learn from trusted sources.

Nashoooon Vint Cerf’s career advice for engineers

I think the way the disagreements are voiced and handled by the disagreer matter a lot in which of those two responses you would receive.

Also, I think it would matter a lot on how X vs Y turned out later. I.e. the difference between always disagreeing but also always getting it wrong. Or sometimes disagreeing but then getting it right and handling being right gracefully.

In my experience "shut your mouth and do as you're told" people are appreciated, more than employees who just disagree to disagree. However, the employees who voice their opinions, are able to articulate their stance and know when it is important to budge or when not to budge are always valued higher.

Nashoooon Ask HN: Should a German founder with a green card set up a holding company?

>Does Germany tax non resident citizens (almost certainly not only the US does)?

I think only on income or assets generated in Germany whilst abroad. I do believe the US is one of the only (if not the only) countries that taxes non residents on their income generated abroad.

Thank you for your insightful articles and shedding more light on compensation data in europe! Your tri-modal article has been particularly well received!
