As complex as gravity and electricity are, the underlying principles are simple. Same with loss aversion. Money isn't the only or biggest motivator.

Take a good common example of loss aversion - admitting being wrong. Why do people find it difficult to admit that they are wrong?

What's at stake here? Reputation, respect, pride, even money.

100 scientists vs Einstein is a classic example of this. Pointless wars have been been fought because someone wouldn't admit being wrong. The Iraqi, Vietnam wars are good examples.

Your reaction to this issue is another.

Limiting loss aversion to just economic behavior betrays lack of understanding of the topic.
> That sounds like limiting the functionality of the whole computer to what the text editor can do.

Not really. It's about putting the most frequent features into your editor, so they can be accessed effortlessly. If you have to do something which is less frequent and the editor does not support it then you still have the terminal.

> If I wanted to check `git status`, I just type `<super+h>git s<enter>`. To go back to the editor, `<super+l>`. There's really not much difference with a single character shortcut.

It's efficient compared to switching to the terminal with alt-tab or something, though by single shortcut I meant that you can use it right in your editor buffer, so it's really just pressing one or two keys vs. `<super+h>git s<enter>`
The replacements were technically and economically inferior. Just like carbon neutral sources of energy. And the phase-out stimulated research for viable substitutes.

It's a vicious/virtuous circle, we aren't hostages of an implacable march of science, we are in the driver's seat. If we want to go to the Moon, we go there, and if we decide it's not worth it, the Moon tech does not magically get better over time.

So "we don't have the technology alternative" is just code word for "let's do nothing"; if better energy sources were magically available, the economics would simply work by itself and the problem of global warming would disappear.

(That's not to say anything politicians think up is possible, but that political and scientific forces go hand in hand in such endeavors)

"The Clock" is a 24 hour hour long movie made by Christian Marclay which contains thousands of film clips each with a clock somewhere in them, so that the whole thing keeps the right time. Whilst scanning for the time in text may be tricky, the work involved in finding those clips is unimaginable. Sadly copies are only held by few museums.
Ask HN: Handling Posting Fees/Reward Money
I’m working on Contest site where people can post a contest for $5/contest. for prize money of 15-25$.
Earlier I was thinking of taking the (fee + reward) money upfront from the poster so I can reliably give prize to the winners.
But now I'm thinking of just charging the posting fee and let poster handle the transfer of reward to the winner on contest completion.
This would avoid the middle man fees and winners will get more without any cuts.

What are your thoughts on either approach?
People can feel the difference between a particular air conditioner blowing cool air at intensity 3 versus intensity 4, which is what these "temperature" dials boil down to.

That doesn't necessarily mean that they can distinguish two identical rooms with 0.5°C temperature difference.
Why gmailisnoop.net is your recovery email address
I just got back from a long sabbatical in Spain and 1 through 3 I'm with you. Why do people just accept flys in their house? Why don't the windows have screens? I don't think I saw a single screen on a window the whole time. Drove me up a wall. At least AC is decently common in Spain, at least more common than I've seen in most other major European cities.
I find Celsius more intuitive because the freezing point (of water) in that scale is zero.

That doesn't seem very... joyful.

In q it's just {(q%x),z%q:-.5y+signum[y]sqrt(yy)-4xz}

This is easy to see is correct.

How do you know that Joy is correct?

I'm trying to mentally execute this. I know I haven't seen Joy before, but I've used Forth, Postscript and Lisp, so I feel like I have a lot to stand on:

- cons seems to have the same meaning in lisp, so x y cons -> (x . y) or in Erlangish, [x|y] right?

- x [y] dip seems to be y x

- [x] [y] infra seems to be the same as [x y]

- swap, first, pop, sqrt all seem reasonable

- wouldn't [] cons cons cons dup* be better than the extra list with [i] map ] infra first? it's not really clear to me what [i] map is doing... I see how the values have to flow, but it feels like it should be redundant.

I feel like it's immediately a lot more (mental) work. It reminds me of tracing forth code before I just gave in and started using variables like a normal person.

Is this really the best way to be introduced to Joy? Is this a typical problem that Joy programmers feel is the right way to program (and the right solution?) Am I missing something here?
My condolences for your loss.. I can’t even imagine what that must have been like.. hats off to the researchers for the accomplishment.

Does anyone know the process that would take this from pig to human?
I bound hstr to CTRL-R (https://github.com/dvorka/hstr) and then just search the history for the keywords I need. Only rarely is a command not already stored in the history.
But if the randomness was based on secret information, you've now introduced a timing or power analysis attack to extract that secret information. The other solutions, although slower, have the advantage of being constant-time.
Sledges were a thing before 4000BC, the wheel became widespread by 3000BC, so at least the later structures sure had some wheel tech involved.
I use tmux when I'm connected on a remote computer and want to do a command that takes a long time and that I don't want to kill if I happen to cut the connection for any reason (e.g. I leave the wifi range).

As to infinite scrolling and window management, I prefer to set the scrollback buffer length on my terminal (urxvt) to a ridiculously large number, and use a real window manager (i3 for me). It's kind of weird how so many applications have their own specific window manager inside them, like tmux (windows and tabs) or text editors (vim and emacs windows and tabs) or browsers (firefox and chromium tabs) or file managers (dolphin and pcmanfm tabs) or spreadsheets (sheets). i3 allows me to tile, tab, or stack any windows I want in any arrangement with a single set of keybindings (as opposed to the differing keybindings of each application).

Anyway, another thing that's cool about tmux is copy mode. It's awesome to execute a command, hit a key to be able to move the cursor throughout the whole buffer, and copy some piece of the output any command you've executed there, to then paste in a new command. I found that urxvt has an extension that allows the same thing, and it uses the system clipboard! So, I can not only use what I copy for a new command, I can use it elsewhere like copying a url and pasting it on a web browser using only the keyboard. It's also useful to do searches in the output of commands I've executed. So, if run a command that produces a lot of output and I want to know if it outputted something in particular, but I don't want to rerun it to pipe to less or grep or I know that it's not going to result in the same output, I can just hit a key, type what I want to search and see if it finds it.
It's closed source crypto software. You can make your own judgement on how acceptable that is for you. Jason Donenfeld (Wireguard author) strongly recommends against it [1].

Possibly, but no one was around to record that so it can't be the highest 'recorded' temperature ever.
I think being a programmer is cheating when it comes to this game.
Yes, it's not only everywhere, it's nothing less than a second programming language for the web, although very much neglected :)
> I think that's why VSCode has gained so much traction. For coding it's got easily 90% of the same features as both vim and Emacs

Is that a joke? How can you possibly know this if you haven't used emacs for a start. Do you really think it has 90% of the features of a 35 year old project?

If emacs is difficult to set up on Windows you should stop using it. The awesome stuff you hear about is mostly the result of using emacs on an OS that is decent for development. But if you insist on staying in your prison then you'll have to put up with what Microsoft lets you have.
Stack – simple tool to manage distractions
I like the simplifying-the-problem approach a lot! Roads in the US/California are so good that I can see it happen, and with clear labelling this could totally "ship" in a few years (i.e. remove the safety driver).

The next step would be 1h-out-of-town commuters + close-suburbia to specific dropoff points in downtown or wherever jobs tend to be. Again, stay on big roads that have good signalling, and keep the bright colors so other drivers will know to stay out of your way in the carpool lane.

It's basically what the big tech companies in the Valley are doing with their commuting busses, but smaller and for everyone. The min-busses with flexible routes are a common mode of transportation in certain Eastern European countries, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshrutka
I mean, to be fair, you are essentially saying you are not tired of typing git commands only because you type shorthands you've created. It feels like you're raining on his parade a bit because he didn't do the same thing you did.

I use aliases too but I also use SourceTree (gasp) for bigger commits. It's not even that I don't know how to git add -p, but clicking "add this hunk" is way easier to do.
The same people who are investing in biotech now would be the ones investing in it then.

Inventors may do it for fun but capital needs to generate an ROI to justify its existence and in a growth obsessed global economy, scientific and technological progress leading to spending power increases is the only reliable growth mechanism. Massive underinvestmet in long term prospects and over reliance on government granted monopolies is a symptom of our IP system, not an argument for its existence.

> Did you read the paper? … Huh? … you should be aware that …

I have no skin in this one but I would like to call this out: these comments make an argument combative. It pushes people up a tree and makes it hard to focus on the facts. Imagine user vezycash actually was swayed by your argument; how easy would it be for them to say, hey, you’re right? Pretty hard after all those comments, because it ties in their pride with their viewpoints and makes changing their point of view humiliating rather than enlightening. The conversation is now a battle, and admitting fault is losing face.

I’m calling this out now but by no means is it specific to you; it happens all the time. My request to anyone here is: please leave all those phrases out. “You should...”, “did you even...” etc. The argument works just as well without them. It makes it much easier for someone to say, hey, I guess you’re right! And isn’t that what we all want, in the end? ;)

Thanks.
For the sides that need to listen to an incoming connection (your server, typically), you'll need a direct port open, which might just be passed through via a NAT.

For clients, it works like all other UDP applications, it just reaches out to the remote address and the NAT keeps a temporary mapping of the source and destination ports and addresses.
A lot of IP ranges from cheap VM (and bare metal) providers are included in many blacklists since those ranges were (predictably?) abused by spammers in the past. Some companies are fighting this by denying outgoing traffic to port 25 until you fill a support ticket now, but whatever is in the blacklists will (probably) stay in the blacklists. Even buying your own IPv4 range does not guarantee it was not used by spammers in the past, and you will have to fight the blacklists owners to have it removed...

If you want to be sure your mail gets to someone else, things are going to be more complicated than setting up an SMTP+IMAP server combo, and after dealing with it in the past for work I'm happily outsourcing the pain to fastmail nowadays. :)

Loss aversion specifically refers to "people's tendency to prefer avoiding losses to acquiring equivalent gains". It's not just the general idea that people are averse to losses, it's about how people value gains and losses differently.
So what if the "certain topic" is something with no immediately obvious thing that "works", e.g. climate change?
My IDE is bash. I use almost always use emacs -nw for editing text. While there are git front ends for emacs, I almost never bother with them. I can't remember what I've memorised about the git CLI, but usually I don't find the CLI troublesome. YMMV.
So this requires maintaining an out-of-tree kernel module? Does it require rooting on android?

We can debate what property rights we do or don't care to maintain, or how to offset their harms -- taxes on wealth, IP renewals, and the like, would likely help, for example.

The principle of private land ownership, as distinguished from either common holdings or a tenancy granted by (usually) royal charter, is fairly novel. And the distortionary consequences of rents amongst the oldest and most pernicious problems in economics.

http://www.henrygeorge.org/pchp29.htm

But it is not possible to argue against property's very mechanism. It is a grant of right of exclusion under legal sanction.

Proudhon's original words on this are well worth reading, if an unpopular opinion these days.
That's exactly my point. It was first based on a miscalculation. When they realized that, they switched to a more accurate but still incorrect definition. They have gone through multiple iterations, each more accurate than the last, but none that are nice and round.

Actually, if there wasn't so much politics (and fake science) involved, there are plenty of things they could have used from the get-go that would have been nice and round.

The "nice round" figure that you offer from the speed of light, and suggest that they would have used had they known it then, is not nice and round and it is not related (and therefore would not have been used).
I'm not thinking about myself, the desktop I do Social Media from can do almost three hundred, and indeed RSA 4096 seems fine on that PC, but lots of people have crappy under-powered devices like Raspberry Pis. How many can those do? Four? Ten?

We're in the weeds here, we're agreed that if your weakest point is a 2048-bit RSA key you're in unexpectedly good shape, definitely anyone who feels 4096 even "might be" too slow should just use RSA 2048 (or get an elliptic curve algorithm that's nice and fast on their CPU). I was just pointing out that "too slow" doesn't necessarily mean "Not as much peak throughput as I would like". Station wagons full of tapes remain sub-optimal for video conferencing :D
> Investigators used a cocktail of sugar and detergent to get rid of all the cells and blood vessels from a lung taken from a donor pig. This left behind a support scaffold made from proteins - the lung's "skeleton" if you like.

If I'm reading this correctly, a donor is still needed, and the main advance is that the lung is less likely to be rejected because the cells match the recipient.

In many countries vaccines will only be licenced after rigorous safety testing and extensive clinical trials. Those clinical trials will usually include thousands of participants. After a new vaccine is introduced, it will continue to be monitored.

It's simply not true that "Vaccine makers can literally solubilize dog shit and call it a vaccine."

This information site from Oxford University provides an excellent summary of how vaccines are tested, licensed and monitored in the UK. The process is probably similar in many other countries:

For the second example, sampling the radius uniformly leads to an error with a higher point density in the centre of sphere. The radius, r, has a weight proportional to r^2 or the surface area. So, one can take a uniform random sample, s between 0 and R^2, and take the square root of s. That will give higher probability density around larger radius. Then, the second picture should look like the first one.
The third party software was doing a mixture of writing (uploading), and reading (to verify contents had been uploaded). It was continually trying to upload a 1 GB file for well over 12 hours. It's been a long time since this happened so I don't recall the exact figures, but I remember having some 4 or 5 figure charge from AWS. I think the third party software was just bad at handling large single file uploads over residential internet.

(speculative continuation)

> But if we do that and make people believe that containers - the massive, heavy, broken abstraction - are the future, and provide complicated infrastructure that will magically fix the problems of containers, and then also provide this complicated infrastructure managed - this will be our way to beat AWS. It will be difficult and clumsy to set it up on your own - you need many machines to set up the cluster so that it's "Google-scalable" and "fault-tolerant" so for most people and companies it will be way too much hassle and too expensive to manage their own cluster purely on VM or physical instances. We "just" provide you with the best managed infra, because c'mon - it will be open source and even given up control on paper - but everyone will associate it with us, we will make sure to have podcasts, and blogs, and marketing that talk about containers, the future and how G created this project. Best people will help us build it "out in the open" and then when we hire them, it will be easy to teach them this Borg monstrosity that we have here. So you know win-win-win - devs think they solved their Docker-is-shit problem with the magic of Kubernetes (yeah, I got a name for it already) so G is now savior; it's a win for GCP; it's a win for hiring.

Then just use the built in web browser and put it all in a frame to cover all the ugly parts and also covers the android status bar up top.

rspamd is as good as it gets, you can run it locally, you need to train the filters "of course", but you can do it incrementally - as mail pours in you put spam into the spam folder [0], and rspamd (via rmilter via postfix) puts a X-Spam-Flag header into the mail, so sieve (part of dovecot) sorts if out [1].

> Every time I hear people saying how much they prefer the git command line is because they never seriously tried to leverage the git features of their IDE.

I have used IDEs but I still prefer the CLI client.

Like with most things in IT, GUIs are great for simple things but the CLI is more expressive and exposes more options. Then once you've spent enough time using the CLI tools it's sometimes more jarring to switch between the GUI and CLI than it is to just use the CLI for simple tasks that could easily be done in the GUI.

GTFO!

I mean this with respect to you, disrespect to that company of course!
Judging by your first suggestion, it sounds somewhat like a podcast-version of Half As Interesting, on Youtube (my pet peeve with that channel is it has several "I think I'm being funny" quips interspersed throughout). Regardless, I think there's tons of room in the media space for such an idea. Go for it!

Regarding the question in the title specifically, everything at all times is complex. Now, if we choose to see it that way, that's another question. Ex. A car gets us from point A to point B, and so we see it as such (ie, what it does for us, not what it is). But when that car breaks down, its intricate and endless complexity is revealed to us. All of a sudden, we get a glimpse of what it is and not what it does for us. Which is to say, we look at everyday life at the lowest resolution possible, in order to get on with our day. It has to be high enough resolution to hold some value and meaning, but not so high that it adds unneeded complexity to our life.
