It's pretty understandable "a so called "rationalist" doesn't want to be attached to his own writings, because you know people might attack him" and that would hurt his aims.

Post early 2000s fascism, I've taken to viewing stuff sort of functionally. Whether it's been through exposure to alt-righters, or exposure to using drug addicts (some of whom have died of it, by now), it strikes me as existentially important that many, many people will brazenly lie about stuff fundamental to their position, for advantage (as defined by them).

As such, the LAST thing you can do is take people at face value and present them your own face value and intentions/needs. People are in conflict over many things, and people are really clever when they're not really childish: it strikes me that the easy ones to read are the ones so childish that they can't even comprehend anything being different from them, and so they lash out and make up ill-conceived demons to rant against. Those folks are easy to spot.

It doesn't take much cognitive development to identify 'this, the other, is different from me' and to imaginatively populate their mental space with your version of their own drives and wishes. And what do you do then? You tailor what you yourself present, to what will get by their filters and produce the effect you want.

And that's why people lie as much as they do.

Almost by definition, rationalists are beyond the primitive level of cognition where everyone is just copies of them: otherwise, other rationalists would argue with them and criticize their position. So we're looking at positions being defended by people who're capable of interpreting the other, and either correctly identifying outside values or making up some 'SJW' phantasm (some of which is likely to actually exist!) that brainlessly lashes out against 'rationality'.

So, practicing rationalists looking to get results will be MORE likely to lie than SJWs and QAnons and the like: and it's the most natural thing in the world to expect a great deal of sketchiness and calculating, in terms of how things are presented.

The bottom line is: does the belief system seek a sort of postmodern coexistence with all manner of conflicting beliefs and scenarios? Or is it a One True System seeking to destroy opposing systems? If it's the latter, it's gonna be cloaked in layers of lies, and we see that in Dark Enlightenment thinking: it would be foolish to present it in starkest form, like the alt-right stuff one has to be 'pilled' into it rather than dumped in at the deep end.
Random question from a web developer who has zero knowledge of C++ or game development: I see no tests in this repo. Is this normal, or am I missing something?
To be fair, in the U.S., gender and race have been weaponized against women and minorities for a long time.

really? I have strlen(decoded-text) at 383 chars, and qbf as 43 chars, giving the encoded as 8.906976744186 times the size of the original...
Oh, well in that case, in a few days any info I'd give you would be out of date. Better builds with better gapps will be available very very soon.
I love visual proofs, but the problem with them is that they rarely work without some explanation (and the ones that seem to work without some explanation are often those that re-express theorems you already sort of understand). What the visual proof does is eliminate excess words so that you have multiple streams of information.

For instance, I have published a cool visual proof of the amortised analysis of array resizing,[0] but even in animated form it would take at least a little bit of explanation for someone who didn't already know the basic proof to understand what's going on with it. The elegance of it is that I only need a few words to explain what the visuals mean.

Hillary Clinton conceded immediately, and the Democratic party did not launch a wave of legal challenges to the election results. The argument that the extreme Russiagate types were making was that Russian agents and bots on social media had convinced people to vote for Trump. There were none of these unbelievably absurd claims about manufactured ballots etc.
It will be a hard sell for me to switch, that's for sure. I am already using Whatsapp for Western contacts, Kakaotalk for Korean contacts, and WeChat for China contacts. I don't have any Japan contacts currently, or else I'm sure I will have to install Line. I installed Signal on my laptop for one heavy-privacy-proponent friend, and had Telegram for a while for another friend's group business chat, but I never really used either.
It might be worthwhile seeing what was in use before trucks; to me it looks like the crowns might be making the trucks resemble prior animal-drawn wagons...
Theres not really a difference.

In 1995 it was a Usenet newsgroup, in 2005 it was a vBulletin forum, today it's a Twitter or Facebook community, tomorrow, it will be something else.

Facebook and Twitter get tons of hate because they make money hand over fist and founders/insiders become richer than god, (unlike Usenet or forum sites) but the internet has always been this way.
Are you sure about this?

The news network they praise as gospel is quite literally the most watched thing on cable TV within the United States.

What are you basing your assumptions on? They seem to be very much incorrect.
The police are overwhelmingly Trump supporters, and the comparison to the response to BLM protests is stark:

Edit: anyone want to respond about what's wrong with my comment rather than arbitrarily down voting?
HAMR/MAMR have been well understood and just on the road to commercial viability since at least 2014 (probably long before, but that is when I came across them). Toshiba being such a small percentage of the disk market makes their later deployment of this stuff easy to understand simply from the standpoint of having a smaller research budget.

A subsequent technology to expect is the separation of magnetic domains into small islands on a non-magnetic substrate, rather than the current approach of applying the magnetic field to regions of a continuous all-magnetic medium. This would be paired with heating, in what I only remember being described as "heated dot magnetic recording".

That was where the technical roadmap for HDDs ended last time I checked. After that I guess platter additions will carry us to the end of the decade.
I’m glad I only have about 10 years left. I have no interest in seeing how lame things will turn out.
> just a measure of how much other people want the property.

Estimated property price doesn’t measure how much the existing owner wants the property.

If they don’t want to sell it, we can safely assume that they want it more than the other people do.
Have you look into Step Function? Just curious since it's suppose to be a competing product with Airflow. Also Sagemaker for us has been way too expensive.

It would make them worth more to steal, as the only other possible source of spare parts for a Tesla would be another Tesla.
It is absolutely no stupid question. That you ask this just shows you are a reasonable person :)

1. It is a status symbol (as in "my car is bigger than your car")

2. It is sturdier and has more weight so it will physically dominate the average car in an accident and provide more security to it's passengers.
So basically Tesla is starting products for military and police (armored offroad vehicles). Cool.

It seems intuitively obvious, not "maybe, somehow", that bringing medical treatment to thousands of rural communities doesn't happen instantly.
Competition is good, it brings invocation. A monotone world would be very boring.
I agree, there should exists explicit OS mechanisms to prevent leakage, be it via DMA, paging, or any other way.

In the absence of such mechanisms, especially when mlock() is unavailable (if running a Java app, for example), the app designer can use tricks like one described above to increase the level of difficulty for an attacker. It is not a solution, but an additional countermeasure.
What's the PPI of the display you're using? I don't have access to anything >200PPI to test on and I'm curious to know how much better it looks under those conditions. It would be nice to have a Cleartype toggle since the vast majority of current Windows consumers won't have a display that will make the "blurry" fonts look good.

You are mistakenly believing that money exists like wool or oil or lumber or stone. It doesn't. Money is imaginary. It is simply an IOU to be exchanged for labor or services. It is subject to inflation if a society amasses too much, unlike durable goods which can be stockpiled until you have enough.

He bought both of those companies. It's a bit disingenuous to say he built them.
It's easy to design LED circuits that look like they're working for a little while but if you pump too much current through them or otherwise overheat them their lifetime decreases from 30,000 hours to a few minutes. This is a common amateur EE mistake; the question is why Samsung allows amateurs to design these systems.
Yeah, my company paid the premium for car service because taxi dispatch was too unreliable.
>The Free Software Foundation was founded in 1985. From there since Free Software has only lost ground.

Are you joking? This was before my time, but there once was a time when you would not only have to pay for development tools, but pay for them seperately. Want a compiler? $500, please. Want something like Bison? Fork a few hundred. Want an assembler? Another few hundred. etc.

There have been setbacks, and it does look like the tide is turning towards everything becoming closed again but it's untrue to say that Free Software has "only lost ground" since 1985 -hell, GCC didn't even come out until what, 1987, 1988 or so?
Finally! Now I can browse r/worldnews on the go, score.
About 90% of my direct experience with offshore developers (most of whom have been in India) has been bad. (Not all of it has been bad: I've known a few good ones from India and Uruguay, but they were the exception rather than rule.) I chalk this up to several factors. One, most so-called developers are bad, period, regardless of nationality. Second, in the low-cost developing nations that folks most associate with offshore development (India, the poster boy) the average years of experience is much lower. Third, there's the language, cultural and distance obstacles. And fourth, and possibly not least important factor: low prices mess up the quality-is-price signaling mechanism. Is a particular offshore developer seeking a low hourly rate purely due to geographical/economic effects? Or is it due to them being lower skilled or having less experience, or needing to take more hours or developers to do the same task? Perhaps it is a mix of these factors.
I prefer to think of this as an internet based brainstorming session
Reading your post, it brings to mind that a lot of this is around what we are controlling.

As a physical example, I can't remember the last time we had to educate people on how to "pump your brakes" in the rain. Turns out, there are flat out better mechanisms to control for some of these things. I suspect many lane assist technologies and other mechanisms to eventually grow to eclipse environments that lack them.

But, bringing that back to the software world is hard. There are things that we don't give a second thought to in a lot of what we do. Endianness is an easy example of something that you used to not be able to avoid. How do we get more of our concerns across that line? Can we?

Absolutist monarchy is an (early) modern phenomenon, not a middle age one. Middle ages ended with the conquest of Constantinople by the Ottomans in 1453.

In fact, wouldn't Napoleon be part (and the end ?) of the absolutist monarch phenomenon?
This is how it works for other companies... though not the government paying for ADA.

Taxi companies have vehicles equipped for wheelchairs and other disabilities. They tend to be unprofitable to operate - but they have them. The reduction or loss of a profit on those fares is made up for by the taxi company, as a whole, subsidizing it from the increased prices for the rest of the fares.

It isn't necessary for this to be a government thing. It is simply "the company needs to increase the cost of its service so that what it offers is accessible to everyone."

As this applies to everyone in the sector the same (taxis, uber, Lyft, etc...) it isn't impacting a narrow group of businesses in unequal ways. This applies to restaurants, retail businesses, etc...
> IP holder companies will become even more common: they will be used to hold copyright to one API and license it out to customers

Not after this precedent, which says that APIs are free.

What will happen: Intel licensing the i86 instruction set will not be possible from now on, same for ARM.
Making APIs copyrightable is a GOOD thing. It means they aren't patentable.
To me a great company culture is trust and honesty. Being able to speak truth and people trusting each other.
Yup - this. I think for most drivers, they simply don't care unless it noticeably affects them in some way.

Plus the average consumer probably doesn't care at all about handling characteristics.
Seems weird to have a language fill in the deficiencies of OSes wrt package management.
Remember, you can't solve the halting problem.

This is progress. Sometimes science takes two steps back and one step forward. Sometimes that one step is bigger than you realized. And it wasn't backwards, it was projecting into a different spacial dimension. Or something.

The point is, this is probably good news, honestly.
I don't believe it.

I do believe that 34% of polled workers said they would quit rather than return to the office, but I do not believe even a majority of them would actually go follow through on that threat. Especially if you filter out high paid/high job-security developers and similar people who might have the financial security to do so.

People, particularly Americans, are shackled to their jobs for many reasons and most people are risk-averse.

Despite myself being pro-remote, I think that we will see a sizable return to office-centric work culture over the next few years. The office may (hopefully) end up looking or feeling a bit different as an outcome. All the stories about the "end of the office" are overblown.

Once it again becomes beneficial for your career and/or social life to participate in office culture people will come crawling back. Not saying it's a good thing, but it's what will happen.
As a layperson i really enjoyed Brian Greenes Fabric of the Cosmos. It is a great read and the chapters on quantum mechanics are captivating.
Most workers don't have the perks you mention. It's an edge case for a small cohort of Silicon Valley tech workers out of the entire cohort of those who had to go remote.

If your office experience was blah, or you had a long commute, you likely realized a lot of utility and benefit having your employer forced to support remote work.
Might be because of the last para "Is Silicon Valley corrupt as hell and a bit sexist? Sure." This is quite offensive statement which does not add much value to the argumentation here.

However, I'm in general very happy with comments I read here. Different POIs presented in a civilized, respectable way.
I've talked about this on HN in the past, but my grandfather was a big part of the development of the seamless can development. He designed the common can bottom used today. People often talk about the shape of the bottom being necessary to withstand the pressure in the can, but the bottom's shape also helps ensure a proper coating of the epoxy this article discusses. Pretty cool stuff. I really wish we had talked about it more while he was alive.
I think the most important thing to realize -- before we look at statistics, which we definitely should -- is that if a number of people, our coworkers, feel uncomfortable at our workplaces -- and it doesn't matter whether that number is large or small -- then we should feel terrible and do something about it. Those experiences can be so horrible, that even if the number of cases is small, our sin is bad enough.

Having said that, I don't believe that number is small at all. Women have been fleeing the software industry for the past few decades, showing decreasing participation and an opposite trend to that in most other industries[1], and I don't think that software is so inherently different from other technical professions. And, as an outsider who visits Silicon Valley a few times a year, I can report that my own personal, probably biased feeling, is one of being overwhelmed by a thick, palpable atmosphere of sexism that I have seen in few if any other places. I should add that I have learned to see sexism only over the past few years; before, I was completely blind to it.

I don't mean to be a pedant, but the author mentions a "syntax for patterns", basically claiming that Lisp doesn't have one. But, isn't syntax-rules (a la scheme) already a form for matching / macro-ing patterns? From my understanding the author seems to want macros that can be specialized for new forms.

I may be confused about what the exact claim is here, but I don't see how this has anything to do with whether or not something is an expression. I don't quite understand how having "not everything is an expression" helps solve this problem.
Sure it exists, but you need collective bargaining for it to be a level playing field. Content creators want to fight back against Twitch? Form a union.

>Every time I go running , I track the distance I ran.

I don't run much but I do walk 5-8 km a day between home, work and errands. I've found that tracking my distance (I use RunKeeper on my phone) is extremely motivating.
There are already multiple working vaccines. Why on earth would you even contemplate killing or permanently damaging over a million people, just in the UK alone? Do you really think that 90% of the remaining population will be cool with that and continue to lead a normal life amidst all of this? Even a good fraction of other people in the bottom decile for empathy might waver in their commitment to lead a normal and maximally economically productive life if they are (understandably) worried about the risks this brings to their own well-being.
