> Essentially you're paying someone to work hard and labor on a topic you are interested in for years; and distill that years of research into a few hundred pages so that you don't have to do all the work.

I am doing no such thing. Sure, some of my purchase price will go back to the author and in aggregate with other purchasers they may be fairly repaid for their labours. But the book is worth whatever I was prepared to pay for it.

What you proposed was the Labour Theory of Value; a thing is worth the effort and talent put into it. Intuitively attractive, but it breaks down in economic practice. If instead you accept that things are worth what people will give up for them -- the Subjective Theory of Value -- economic analysis requires fewer epicycles and illuminates more phenomena.
No need for the snark.

Zed used a cascade of Adobe Caslon, Hoefler, Georgia, Garamond and Times for the body. Good fonts, all of them. Whose fault is it that all except Times render poorly?*

"The crazy colors should tell you that this is only for the brave."

Maybe the same goes for the fonts.

* I checked Firefox, Chrome and IE on an XP3 system. With Chrome's Developer Tools, I removed fonts from the front of the cascade until the type looked "right", and arrived at Times. Bah.
Eighty-five pennies on the dollar is still pennies on the dollar.
As a soon to be grad, I'd love to work for a startup when I get out of school. However, I would need enough money to live, and to make payments on my student loans. Can these be reconciled? Will I need to find a startup that already has some VC?
curious, do you find leetcode easy/mediums atleast somewhat challenging? or is the stuff you are doing like... connecting plumbing / CRUD stuff together in CLOUD
I can't stand comments like this that obviously miss the overall point being made and tbh it is entirely done disingenuously.

The terms of service are not in anyway enforced consistently or fairly. The way the terms and service is written is that they can basically boot you for any reason. It is well known that the "tiddie streamers" regularly get away with ToS violations, where some dude wearing a red hat will get a ban (and I mean a red hat, because that exactly what happened to one guy, he didn't even have a MAGA hat).

"Behaviour off platform" can mean anything and will be like the current Terms of Service be not be enforced in any manner that is consistent or fair.

Twitch is a monopoly in this space and it is abusing its position. This combined with the fact that the mobile phone platforms can remove an App for any reason it wants means that there is no open market where a competitor that has a different ToS can reasonably become competitive.
Not just rude; looking through somebody's post history to find a gotcha is _embarrasing_.
> Any language that runs in both environments with an environment abstraction that spans both?

Do you have examples? This is harder to do than it would seem.

You would need an on demand environment setup (a virtualenv and a lockfile?) or a homogeneous environment and some sort of RPC mechanism (transmit a jar and execute). I expect either to be possible, though I expect the required verbosity and rigor to impede significant adoption.

Basically, I think folks are unrealistic about the ability to be pithy, readable, and robust at the same time.
I think what he meant was that by being together and discussing problems we solve them a lot faster. This is absolutely true in my job. If I didn't know my team loved being remote so much, we would have been back in the office as soon as was safe.
I think it is a bit less of an issue for normal cooking site, where it may say “Bob’s Spahetti Carbonara”. Whether it is authentic or not doesn’t really matter.

Whereas a site like this I reckon would aim for having definite versions of recipes, which is a) I think impossible for any dish and b) pretty much useless if you don’t happen to live in the exact region where it is from.

E.g. I have 3 different versions of the recipe for a Finnish blueberry pie. The original (well nothing original about it, just how my mother learned to make it), a Swiss version and a Colombian one. Because for the latter two I need different substitutes for the filling and slightly different measurements and baking time over all.

For me, recipe sites are just a starting point and inspiration for the personal collection. And I prefer having many different versions, some traditional, some sacrilegious available to compare and try rather than trying to get them into a single lowest common denominator version.
I built a multi-tenant version of this for my office and am now retiring on them fat royalty checks. AMA
Not surprised you are getting immediately down voted. My post is as well. There seems to be bias HN users as well, no amount of facts or historical reference is enough to correct it.
Moreover, in most non-software companies, IT has covered their asses by prohibiting users from accessing programming tools.

I get that most of us live in a land of "Of course I have an IDE and compilers / REPL" at work.

You know what IDE and compiler IT can't take away? And the last option that's always available at any company?

Excel.
As someone who’s at the frustrating intersection of fascinated and clueless, what are the implications of a blood sugar spike and are they bad? Is the problem the absolute amount of blood sugar or is it the sudden change in blood sugar levels? And what is the general takeaway or advice from this study?

A lot of questions there, but I would be really grateful for any insights. It’s something I know I should know plenty more about.
> Directional antennas on the ground are a much higher risk from obstructions.

Giant towers / hillsides for the central point; small towers or rooftops for the other end.

Between two hills over my suburb, you can see 80%+ of houses. If your point is that this doesn't work well for dense cities: you're right, but it breaks down at a higher population density than satellite does.

Relying upon multipath and diffraction can work to get moderate quality LTE service everywhere, but in general this is not what WISPs are doing, because it doesn't work. (And in any case, MIMO + multipath are friends, too, which provides its own densification, and sector antennae are effective, too).
If NYT is far left propaganda to you, then what is Jacobin, Nonsite, and/or wsws.org?

A thread from 2019: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18944011
In case it's not obvious, this is a cynical parody of the original cartoon.
Likewise, an interesting potential solution to the problem. I hadn't thought of a lower spring rate. It would certainly reduce the braking distance. A lot more complexity, cost, and weight, though.
This sounds terrific, and I can’t wait to try it out! I’m looking for an easy to use alternative to Facebook Groups.

With an app (sometime soon, I hope), there’s a better chance of getting more users to adopt it. I’ve been waiting for Pixelfed (decentralized alternative to Instagram) to release an iOS app, but it still hasn’t seen the light of the day.
First, your link should be to libtai. Second, DJB never adequately addressed the complex problem of parsing and formatting human-readable dates (only providing the fixed ISO 8601 format), nor time zones (it doesn't support the local time zone, which is fine [1], but it doesn't support the specified time zone as well). It represents an incredibly naive understanding of date and time processing.

[1] This needs elaboration. The local time zone is typically implemented by at least one of two ways: you read the central repository (`/etc/localtime` in Linux for example) every time local time is requested, or you listen to the time zone change event (`WM_SETTINGCHANGE` event in Windows for example). This is no different from your typical pan-process synchronization problem, which is complex and costly.
Or store PAR2 repair files with the data as well.
Take the money, pile it all up and directly give it back to the citizens, where every citizen gets the same amount of money. Effect: households will have the same amount of money on average, but people will be nudged to substitute their carbon-intensive lifestyle by greener alternatives. (or, in economic terms, there is no income effect, only a substitution effect).

You're also indirectly taking money from big corporations and putting it into the pockets of citizens, which has been proven to be one of the most effective methods of stimulating the economy.
'loop' is not in a tail position. The last operation is the list cons. It can be optimized with TCO modulo cons but that would just make it hang/exhaust heap rather than stack overflow in a strict language.
The S&P is stock-picking by that logic.

Rank all the public equities by revenue, select the top 500, then weight them by market cap. Sounds pretty arbitrary doesn't it? Why not rank by profit? Or weight by years in existence?
I can imagine all of the growth hacking tactics everyone is going to implement. There's a startup out there already using GPT-3 to automate sales email creation.
Reddit is not a financial market participant, the only SEC regulations it needs to remain compliant with are along the lines of "don't lie about Reddit in SEC documents and other communications to Reddit's investors". That and promptly responding to any subpoenas for user information and other related legal requests the SEC requires.
*breaks.
I don't experience the emotion of disgust. I don't know people who experience the emotion of disgust.

I'd describe the feeling I get when seeing my cat puke out a meal, followed by her starting to eat that slimy bloody pudding again, as disgust. Just to name an example. Have you really never experienced that? Lucky you I'd say :)

Apart from that, i.e. the very literal sense ('dis' is like a negative, 'gust' is taste), disgust also gets used in the sense of morally disliking something profoundly. Again not that uncommon.

But I get your point: these days it seems to get used often when it is not very close to the actual meaning. And as such gets hollowed out a bit.
P?=NP doesn't have anything to do with possibility - it has to do with feasibility. The point is, with sufficient hardware, we might be able to just do the NP problem.

Also, brute-forcing creativity is not P==NP. Brute-forcing is NP. If P=NP, then there's a way to do it without brute-forcing.
Even better, when ignorant, don't attribute it to anything.
I'm working on a React powered "isomorphic" static site generator now and I hope to make it public in the next few days.

The approach I'm taking is that each page is a composed component using data files (json, yaml and js/coffee for dynamic data) to provide the state, js/coffee mixin files to provide the logic and js/jsx/coffee/cjsx files to render the body content.

Its working now but I need to generate the documentation and built some better example sites.
Please, just stop using isomorph* with anything regarding javascript !
Really, please stop.
Not OP, but my personal belief is that all work is valuable, otherwise it wouldn't be desired. I don't think it's a good exercise to decide how much it is worth, except to say that work that requires X unit of time should provide at a minimum an amount of compensation that allows a person to obtain a standard of living above the poverty line.
Bill Gates also used his wealth to advance the interests of one of the country's most notorious sex traffickers.

There's no reason for _anyone_ to have that much money, or individual influence over public policy.
That's a good argument, but let me continue the other side: I wonder if this doesn't just repeat the question. Who are we to say that the information we have is the true information? At least on the internet, we all select the information we want. I listen to my preferred sources, and I bet you listen to yours. Why are the working class doing something less legitimate if they do the same?
These I don’t really see a problem with. The name is inspired by fiction that’s fine. When I go onto a firms website and see images of a mythical monster plastered everywhere that’s when it gets a bit ridiculous.
they were a few of those on reddit at one time, always ended in disappointment
Good move.

Let 'open' stay true to its very meaning. It is a good chance , or may I say the best chance for RISC-V to seize influence, because now the will and capitals are aligned to make an alternative ecosystem that is not controlled by US single handedly.
By giving out massively bloated defense contracts and subsidies to agri-corps.
Conscription is not as effective as a regular volunteer force. Atomic weapons or other WMD goes against the ethos of neutral countries which traditionally are pro-Human Rights.

But I understand where you are coming at, perhaps it is because major military nations poses A-Bombs. I guess, if they are democratic countries we have no choice but to hope that their citizens can prevent it from getting used; My real worry is the non-democratic/pseudo democratic countries with A-Bombs.

Edit : N-Bomb->A-Bomb.
I'm still in the super early stages of working on a collaborative sketch/whiteboarding web app. The idea is to have a site wherein users can sketch a diagram/write out some notes, with other users able to view in real-time or save and view later a la Google Docs.

Had the idea a few weeks ago, but with most universities converting to online lectures and many businesses working from home it seems like there's a definite niche in the market for it. Most professors (especially non-STEM) are totally oblivious to anything other than death-by-PowerPoint when it comes to online lectures, and most businesses either snap a pic of a messy whiteboard for posterity or re-draw diagrams through software after they've proven to be worth preserving.

It's on behalf of adsense publishers afaik (I received one).

I assume a portion of adsense profit was given.
I think it was an allusion to the tower of Babel.
It's a complicated topic with lots of pros and cons, which also depend on the role you have. Masking network configuration problems is great for a user, not as great for the admin, but I believe this should be something the network admins test for, not every user ever in the network.

The exposure of the IP address is another aspect. While DNS can expose more info, the complaint also includes IP addresses specifically. I believe this has severe implications: Does any outside communication need to be acked on setup? Should ntp servers be preconfigured on OSes at all? I wonder which other services depend on similar behaviour. Will it end up like consent forms on websites?

I personally think a fallback DNS which masks network errors is a nice thing, as systems should be resilient for users. Errors just need to be discoverable for admins. I usually want things to work, not debug errors of others (or even my own).
How many Krita developers are able to make a living out of it?
The fix for this nonsense is to put what you want into /etc/resolv.conf and chattr +i which sets the immutable bit on the file. I do this on the servers I manage to stop NetworkManager/dhcpd/resolved/systemd/whatever is today's new thing from messing with the file. Although I suppose it's only a matter of time before something works this out and starts "helpfully" adjusting the immutable bit. At which point I'll patch the kernel.
"I do not think that word means what you think it means"

"Existential threat" means something so devastating it threatens the subjects very existence.

It's meant that for as long as the phrase has been in use.
I could be wrong, but I think the argument is against the framing of "do you want this app to track you" being one-sided, rather than against an opt-in interstitial in general.

E.g. if anti-vaxxers started pushing a campaign saying "doctors want to stab your arms with needles", I'd expect a similar pushback from the medical community about the perception-coloring of this phrasing (even if it's technically true). In both cases, it seems like the argument is more of "Yes people can opt in to that, but the opt-in process shouldn't bias you against opting in"

Whether that's a fair argument or not, I'll leave to society.
As a customer I don't care about economic theory. What I care about is that I take out my mobile, press a couple of buttons and I know the price and time of pick up. This is innovation. Before über nobody was doing this. This has been a huge efficiency gain. The service is safe and reliable and trackable. This really has nothing to do with employees vs contractors. If the government legislated that uber drivers had to be treated as employees, the innovation that uber brought to the market would not disappear. Might be a bit more expensive but we would not be going back to hailing random taxis on the street or calling numbers and negotiating with call centres.
Sneakers is still one of my all time favorite movies.

Carbon dating has shown long ago that the cloth is only around 1000 years old, not the 2000 years old that would be necessary for the Shroud to be genuine.

The 'how' is irrelevant against that evidence.
There was the Robbins v. Lower Merion School District case, where a student sued after being disciplined for "taking drugs" in his bedroom (it was actually candy).

They'd remotely activated the webcam on his school-issued laptop. And, frankly, spying on a teenage boy in his bedroom, they're lucky they didn't face felony charges.
When the author starts by describing his local network as a /8 network, I instantly lowered my expectations for the rest of the article.
Yep. He plugs his ISP's modem into the LAN side of his network (the uplink port - usually a LAN-side port with built-in crossover intended for chaining switches), then has two DHCP servers running on the same segment. Oops.
I meant reprocessing the same set of header files for every single cpp file including them. Precompiled headers suppose to speed it up. But they still need to be read in and re-created in memory for each cpp file. Why not just compile all the cpp files in one process rather than spawning off a compiler process for every file? That can ensure reusing all the header files processed and are still in memory.

My point is: run the profiler, see what are the bottlenecks, and pick those areas for optimization. Rather than speculating that L1/L2 cache misses are causing the major delay. If they ran the profiler and L1/L2 cache misses are really the problem, then I have nothing else to say.

I don't know if it's related but some time ago when I was testing the Arch distro, Garuda, I noticed that my Internet was very slow (Kbps) when updating. To test my speed I loaded fast.com and something strange happened, while the test lasted, the update speed was normal (at the top of my Internet plan). Once it finished loading it was slow again. At first glance it seemed that my ISP (Tigo) gave priority to Netflix and released the 'normal' speed when loading the test (fast.com is Netflix's).
I made a script that called fast.com every time I updated my OS and it worked super well. I even used the script for other downloads.
After switching to Arcolinux I stopped noticing that network behavior and stopped using the script.
Some would say there haven't been any.
Sure, or you could halve it since much of it's admin for pensions, and stuff like disability allowance and housing benefit you don't want to eliminate unless you're cool with UBI leaving people immobile or homeless, and you can't do payments to 36m working age people with no admin. Either way, it's still an order of magnitude or two less than UBI costs.

Sure, you can fire a few low paid Jobcentre employees if you're convinced retaining that sort of admin offers no actual benefit to anyone attending, but it turns out that paying 8 million people who are neither in employment nor willing/able to ask for appointments at Jobcentres a livable income isn't cheaper
My favorite Git "cheatsheet" is easygit (eg), a Perl "porcelain" wrapper for git. It's training wheels wrapper for git. You use real git commands, so you don't need to unlearn anything when graduating to git. easygit has safer defaults and extra sanity checks (like forgetting to stage modified files). The help messages are more verbose and use more consistent terminology than git's man pages. For example, easygit always uses the term "staged" instead of "index/staged/add/hard/soft/mixed/cached/HEAD/etc."

Chicago has a significant advantage: it's more "normal" in that it's more representative of the United States, than the Bay Area. This provides a fertile ground for new companies to emerge:

- Childcare / anything to do with children (e.g. Sittercity)
- Things for people without college degrees -- SF has 48% [1] degreed workforce vs. 28% [2] nationally.
- People in Chicago/the rest of the US have houses; over 80% of SF's population lives in apartments. There's tons of businesses involving housing including lawn care, general home improvement, construction, contracting, etc.
- People in Chicago have cars; many people in SF don't drive (surprised Uber came from here? I'm not)
- Anything involving small business
- Also, world-class financial center

There are other things, the point is to focus on your strengths, not try to be a knock-off of something else (an idea from Richard Florida's "Who's Your City", a book about the relative strengths of various cities)

Well, in Singapore you'll need at least one SG-resident board member. Probably not you if you'll be travelling constantly.

On the other hand, if you can manage this I've found forming and dissolving companies in SG to be very easy, not to mention the tax and accountancy processes.
