You are right. Hard work is not enough. To be famous one has to mail bombs to professors or gun down people on a University campus. I'm not being facetious because there are plenty of people in academia or art committing "martyrdom" just as radical when they are simply producing crap as crappy as the next guy. I would even raise the stake higher and say that either you nor I will be remembered a century from now, but the difference is that I don't give a shit. Being remembered a century from now is not enough.
By hand brakes, you mean rim brakes. Disc brakes are operated by hand, and they work. The only brake I can think of that's not a hand brake is a coaster brake.
First question: "Who says?" Answer: "I can't say."

Second question: "Is it credible?" Option 1: "Yes" => panic ensues. Option 2: "No" => "Liar!" Option 3: There is no option 3, you must pick 1 or 2.
One thing I hope we've learned is that popularity does not necessarily equal profitability.
https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/SVG/Element/use#brows... shows nearly complete green across the board, frontend tech years are like dog-years; without more info I'd suggest leaping forward to <use> <svg>; in other words it's not like the 1990s anymore--every modern browser have continuous updates, robust native APIs that make the majority of contemporary legacy tech workflows prior to 2017-ish obsolete, and Google's bot processes JavaScript as a mobile client by-default as I recall. Browsers are more consistent and robust in their implementations than ever before, making contemporary solutions easier to implement and performant both for consumers and developers--providing they know of these and use them.
I think "to consider as an outsider to physics" here means "for people who are outsiders to physics to consider".
That is not what you asked, and for the third time, that is not what I said.

You asked: "Does the person doing the work need to be paid?"

Which I interpreted to mean: "Is this project doomed to fail if the developers are not monetarily compensated?"

I answered: "No, I don't believe this project will necessarily fail if the developers aren't paid."

I did not say that I wouldn't fund, work on, promote, organize, or otherwise support such a project.

I made no statements about whether I would or wouldn't support such a project, other than to say that "I think this would be a good idea," yet you've repeatedly brought these elements into the conversation as a bludgeon so that you can claim that either my principles are dumb, or that I'm not principled enough.
>The reckless, degraded, and often vicious members of society, tend to increase at a quicker rate than the provident and generally virtuous members. Or as Mr. Greg puts the case: “The careless, squalid, unaspiring Irishman multiplies like rabbits: the frugal, foreseeing, self-respecting, ambitious Scot, stern in his morality, spiritual in his faith, sagacious and disciplined in his intelligence, passes his best years in struggle and in celibacy, marries late, and leaves few behind him. Given a land originally peopled by a thousand Saxons and a thousand Celts—and in a dozen generations five-sixths of the population would be Celts, but five-sixths of the property, of the power, of the intellect, would belong to the one-sixth of Saxons that remained. In the eternal ’struggle for existence,’ it would be the inferior and less favoured race that had prevailed—and prevailed by virtue not of its good qualities but of its faults.”

I lost 35lbs just following this comp sci professor's guide to weight loss: http://matt.might.net/articles/least-resistance-weight-loss/

As far as I know, the Fed is part of the government and, obviously, enforce its laws. If there's a war on drugs, the Fed will try to control these networks in the internet.

Similarly, in other countries, their 'Fed' will try to control LGBT, feminist and religious online communities. Although a different case, the Internet is still the same.

If one is American and doesn't have issues, he/she should at least recognize it is not the same in other places and times.

Abstract

Maintaining a program is a time-consuming and expensive task in software engineering. Consequently, several approaches have been proposed to improve the comprehensibility of source code. One of such approaches are comments in the code that enable developers to explain the program with their own words or predefined tags. Some empirical studies indicate benefits of comments in certain situations, while others find no benefits at all. Thus, the real effect of comments on software development remains uncertain. In this article, we describe an experiment in which 277 participants, mainly professional software developers, performed small programming tasks on differently commented code. Based on quantitative and qualitative feedback, we i) partly replicate previous studies, ii) investigate performances of differently experienced participants when confronted with varying types of comments, and iii) discuss the opinions of developers on comments. Our results indicate that comments seem to be considered more important in previous studies and by our participants than they are for small programming tasks. While other mechanisms, such as proper identifiers, are considered more helpful by our participants, they also emphasize the necessity of comments in certain situations.

What about average novels? Some genres are really formulaic and even repeat the same plot structure from book to book with quite minor alterations. I don't see how these couldn't be done with AI.
Not legal advice.

Why fraud? If we are talking about criminal law, the requirements to convict a person are strict. In this case the author has not claimed neither on Patreon or YouTube to be someone he is not. He has not falsified any data/documents and has not stolen any account, since the one he claimed was available.

Sketchy? No doubts. Fraud? Doesn't seem like it at all.

Lectures are a straw-man in your argument which largely invalidates it. Please find out about the inverted classroom concept.
tax returns themselves are public in sweden and you can literally find out what anyone has paid in taxes by contacting the authorities.

Sweden has a different attitude to this kind of information that is fundamentally more about transparency than privacy, so it's not perceived as an issue.
I didn't read it. Like I said, I'm not that interested in the situation (I'm not near the U.S. West coast...).

But I think you are wrong about the length being a matter of ego stroking. There are legitimate reasons to dive into the details, and given that the Atlantic is relatively internet savvy, there are probably people interested in the content.
Me too! I'm a big Sublime Text guy, right, but simply put sublime is lacking, especially in UI flexibility and advanced IDE features, like intelligent autocomplete, type checking etc.

If this thing delivers sublime-tier quality code editing in the browser and desktop AND commands a big enough community to allow for even more features (due to being open source), perhaps even IDE tier features... Sign me the fuck up. I'm tired of using closed source crap, patiently waiting for the dev to get off his ass and build more API functionality.

Libraries are also community centers. They offer a lot more than just books. They can offer community programs, children's programs, and assistance on a lot of matters from librarians. They also can offer plenty of fiction that is copyrighted and not on the Internet (legally). Internet cafes are expensive, libraries are completely free. They are also a meeting place for the community and a sense of pride. For some reason they get a bad rap here on HN and in the tech world in general.
Part of me is convinced that the genius of this game is that it can be completely operated with only one thumb, even while riding a crowded subway.
Side remark: Please don't use equality and inequality like that. How can a noun and an adjective possibly be equal? They aren't even the same word class. Just use english "is" and "is not" to connect your nouns and adjectives。
According to your graph, GINI went up (from 34 to 38%) after taxes and transfers as well.

Just because a random variable that is the aggregate of many other random variables (college enrollment) is not sufficient to make statements about one of the component random variables (college tuition) does not mean that it's unfalsifiable.

So how do you falsify it?

Also, I didn't ask about a relation between tuition and graduation. I asked about a relation between inequality and enrollment.

The underlying paper by Bailey and Dynarski [5] documents pretty clearly that income inequality translates into inequality in educational attainment...

Looking at educational attainment* as opposed to enrollment is a bit, um, confusing. Is it your assertion that a higher GINI somehow makes the poor (specifically poor women, if we go by that paper) less willing to study than their richer counterparts?

Not that it matters, since the paper doesn't look at inequality at all. All it shows is that higher quintiles have higher graduation rates - this is completely unrelated to the question of whether increasing the size of quintiles effects graduation rates.

Also, if you read your source [5] (the middle, not the conclusions), you'd discover that the strongest explanation they have of their results is that children of poorer parents are not as smart as children of rich parents, which explains half the gap. So unless your claim is that higher GINI makes poor kids stupid, it's nonsensical to claim inequality has anything to do with graduation rates.

I give up. You have unfalsifiable beliefs which are somehow supported by academic papers on completely unrelated topics. Not anything for me to learn here.
Although most Python is written in snake_casing, it there's still a few big frameworks that use camelCasing and when you're using them, camelCasing is the way to go. One that comes to mind off the top of my head is Twisted/Zope.
SMS is usually displayed to the user as a linear chat history, and may not work well enough for large and complex content.

If vital information changes, it’s incredibly difficult to consolidate (where in the SMS thread was the latest update on topic XY again?)

SMS also can’t use pictures, requires stateful server infrastructure, is not easy to bookmark, is irretrievable when deleted, and can’t be shared as quickly as a URL.
There was good conversation about this when it happened:

I'll repeat what I said then: that the V-22 set directly funded arms manufacturers and thus was a huge jump past the line Lego had set themselves. Personally, I think it's good that Lego are taking this moral stance. We all know about the links between military media aimed at children and recruitment, and I think it's immoral to engage in it.

But beyond that, it's even better that Lego are allowing people in the community to create and sell these sets. This is really refreshing to see in an era where companies C&D anything that moves, no matter how much of an asset it would be to their communities.
The NYSE is one of the stock market centers in the US (yes, there's more than one). It's a place where you (usually virtually these days) go to agree with someone on the specifics of the trade - buy 100x GME at $420. The DTC is involved with what happens next - actually exchanging the stock and cash. In particular, they keep the records of which brokers hold how many shares of which stocks.
It is, he's just pointing out that the Qt developers figured this out a long time ago. Web developers like to think they're pioneers when it comes to this stuff.

>I wonder whether the intended endpoint of this tactics is widespread deplatforming

Isn't this obviously the case? The "Grey Tribe" (https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/09/30/i-can-tolerate-anythin...) and its "Dark Enlightenment" fellow travelers associated with SV is commonly targeted activist media orgs. The goal is to hobble the grey tribe's narratives by allowing woke mobs to say that they're based in cryptofascism and white supremacy. This has already been partially successful and probably just needs a few more big pushes to get to the point that we can start firing people from tech jobs for publicly saying that they like Scott's posts.
> Do you think this is a bad article? A bad blog post? That it is poorly written or not true or too crazy or paranoid or insane or profane? That is too long or too rambling

This about sums it up, yes.

NYT may have gone downhill, or it may not have ever deserved its status as “the paper of record.” But it’s definitely not an oppressive octopus strangling America’s speech. The NYT isn’t the reason you’re afraid to write a controversial blog post; that’s absurd.

He’s being totally disingenuous by telling journalists to write what they want and damn the consequences, and if they ask him nicely HE will fund them—but only if they “really make [him] believe in” their writing. That’s really no different from saying “go freelance,” and I’d be very surprised if he ever backs this up with action.

I've actually experienced both sides of this in a way. Usually when I go camping, I have the mentioned brain-half-tuned-in effect. However the first time I went to a Regional Burn (a mini-Burning-Man-esque offshoot event) and camped right in the middle of Tent City, I felt completely at ease. I was quite literally surrounded by my tribe, and it was a really comforting effect.

It definitely made me ponder about Dunbar's number and what tribal life must be like.

Coincidentally, the three demarcations at this particular burn, the theme camp (~30 people), the field/block (~100), and the whole burn (~500), correspond to the lower end of the types of groupings Dunbar observed.

> Dunbar noted that the groups fell into three categories—small, medium and large, equivalent to bands, cultural lineage groups and tribes—with respective size ranges of 30–50, 100–200 and 500–2500 members each.
He addresses most of your concerns in his own post on why he was shutting down his blog; rather than restating them here I suggest you go read it. Also, I find it particularly abhorrent that one oughtn’t be able to write about controversial topics anonymously, and at least a little ironic given that we’re both doing exactly that.
And the reason is...?

I've been using PayPal for like 15 years and I've never had a problem with it. "Until you do" is not an acceptable answer to my question. Things work until they don't, that's not a reason not to use them.
Summer temperature averages in LA aren't that much different from summer temperature averages across Wyoming. The big difference comes in the winter, where LA's record lows are in line with (or a little below) Wyoming's average highs.

I don't think it's funny at all. They're not attached to it because of its monetary value, but rather its functional value.

Who cares what it's worth in 4 years?
I always get dubious when people suggest letting external developers find business models / use cases.

I think if a product were truly compelling, they'd be able to find (and polish) at least one really awesome use case internally.

I'd love to try using an IDE such as Eclipse on such a screen. I suppose IDEs can have an e-ink mode where instead of colors, they use multiple fonts, italics, bold fonts, and other decorators to highlight syntax.
> If as you say mainframes are overpriced and inefficient, that means there is a great opportunity for some organization to move with a much cheaper, more efficient option.

But isn't that what Facebook, Google, and Amazon are doing? Using massively distributed commodity x86 hardware to eat away at incumbent businesses that would outsource their IT services to mainframes? Last I read, Google is about to go into auto insurance, and all three companies I listed do payment processing.

If software is eating the world, SV behemoths are eating business verticals.
C#'s had closures and anonymous functions for almost a decade, Java's got them properly now with Java 8, but you could always hack them with anonymous inner classes. C++ got them in C++11, etc. Hell, even in C, you could hack something resembling a closure with a struct and a function pointer.

I go to Carleton University. It's a wonderful school don't get me wrong, but I would love to be in the environment that Waterloo provides.

The ING has that option in The Netherlands. I'm not sure in the US though.
The bonus of a single entity is that they can afford to hire experts to solve various problems that it wouldn't be feasible for smaller groups to hire/solve. (e.g. Lots of people prefer to have their email done by a provider rather than spend untold amounts of time configuring exim/postfix/qmail/sendmail/etc, in addition to setting up spam filtering, managing blacklists/whitelists/greylists, solving issues when your domain and/or IP ends up on one or more blacklists, etc)

Not that I'm necessarily a fan of significantly centralizing things, but for some things I can see the appeal of off-loading the complexity onto someone else.

It's probably more along the lines of people having built what we have today upon the capital markets as a foundation, to the point where many people don't realize that there is bedrock that is supporting that foundation.

That's missing the point of pressuring the other side to adopt ISO 8601.

(And in general case, of electronic documents with wider audience, using 3/Nov/2021 excludes people who don't know English (or the language in which you encoded the name of the month).)
What about the Durations and Intervals?

The "Week" format is great for planning purposes, because it allows a granularity between days and months with another whole number per year. Saying that a task will begin 2021-W08 and then defining the start of the week (ISO8601 says its a Monday), tells you exactly when it will start.

Saying the task is 2021-W08/P4D tells you exactly when it starts and how long it will take. Or P4D/2021-02-25 says the same thing but in terms of when it will end.

They're just as unambigious and just as useful.
> [...] when swap is used there is no free memory.

Well, that's not true. In Linux you can have pages swapped out to disk and physical memory used for disk cache at the same time.
