Firstly, the context of the quote from my next sentence is that things must be viewed from a distance to see the bend toward justice. Individual setbacks might make it seem incorrect over short periods, but history has generally showed it to be correct.

Secondly, it is not currently ok to say that "white people suck". The huge uproar over that is evidence of such. However, society has decided that saying "white people suck" is inherently different than saying "[any historically repressed minority] sucks". Society has also decided that context of those statements matters. Saying that offhandedly on Twitter as a joke is different than saying it in a campaign speech.
Julia v0.7.0 has been released – Announcements – JuliaLang
Hm weird I didn't have any of those problems, except occasionally issues with external monitors/projectors. Right now I'm running on an ASUS zenbook and it has similar issues with graphics drivers etc (Nouveau) so I don't know if I'd say these problems are specific to MacBook, just normal Linux things..

In that sense every computer is "unsupported hardware" for Linux, so I dunno. (Except maybe some rare purpose-made machines that tend to be expensive anyways..)
I probably sound like a broken record at this point, but have you tried Emacs Org mode? It is structural plain text at its core, but Emacs theming functionality lets you live preview the document to reasonable detail. It has matured enough to provide advanced functionality expected from word processors, and it has a powerful exporting and publishing framework capable of producing all sorts of document types including blog posts.

OK, we've gone with the sub-heading for the title here.
You need to do more than just #include it - it is implemented in one .c file but that is not a header, so you'd still need to compile that separately and link it in somehow.
Title is a bit clickbait, really.
> They're both bad, but they're bad for different reasons: accepting that taxation is a necessary evil (I'm not sure I do, but set that aside), welfare involves paying out of tax revenues into individuals pockets. Tariffs are exactly the opposite - tariffs involve increasing tax revenue by collecting taxes on imports, and then using that tax revenue for whatever you use all the other tax revenue for.

If Mr. Widget isn't competitive at $100 vs. imports sold at $90, and you add a tariff of $10 so its "competitive", suddenly Mr. Widget's sales will increase. The other country, knowing their widgets aren't competitive (except $$ wise) then tariffs something like solar panels to protect a nascent solar panels industry.

Tariffs are a form of welfare for domestic corporations. Creating a new Mr. Widget on the assumption that tariffs will remain the same is an expensive gamble you take only if you are sure your widgets are better than Mr. Widget's widgets.

Subsidized loans (i.e. "The Bank of Boeing") are another example of welfare for domestic corporations.

What does removing curbs do for draining rain and snow melt?
One consequence is the reduction of trust and perceived-value in the global economy, which reduces our capacity for investment and growth*

As far as I can tell, as long as the economy runs super well and everybody trusts that it'll continue to do so, we are all able to collectively defer debt among ourselves to invest in augmenting our production capacity right now. In practice this means people trust that the work (or product) that they are doing (or delivering) now can be payed later, so they can wait to be paid. Meanwhile that work (or product) can be put to use _right now_ to increase production as a whole.

I'm certain someone with a more formal grasp of macroeconomics can explain this better.(Maybe even yourself, if that was a rhetorical question)

* many caps apply, and IMO foremost the accelerated consumption of natural resources is the most critical one. Eternally growing economies mean eternally accelerating change of the natural environment.

> China could crash the American economy any time they want. It'd hurt them, but it'd hurt America a lot more. Especially because oil exporters would immediately switch to doing oil trade in Euros, which would make it exceptionally hard for the dollar to recover.

But their likely action, according to the article you linked, might actually help the US economy by making its exports more competitive:

> China would not call in its debt all at once. If it did, the demand for the dollar would plummet. This dollar collapse would disrupt international markets even more than the 2008 financial crisis. China's economy would suffer along with everyone else's.

> It's more likely that China would slowly begin selling off its Treasury holdings. Even when it just warns that it plans to do so, dollar demand starts to drop. That hurts China's competitiveness. As it raises its export prices, U.S. consumers would buy American products instead. China could only start this process if it further expands its exports to other Asian countries and increases domestic demand.

China only amassed so much US debt because it sells RMB to buy dollars to keep the RMB down and fuel exports. Reversing that policy would make Chinese exports less competitive on the world market. Ultimately, that could thwart the CCP's ambitions to create "national champions" by limiting them to their domestic market.

> I don't think it will affect whistleblowing, because so far mainstream social media has not been such a great source of whistleblowing.

It's not just about The Pentagon Papers and Wikileaks. It's about people being able to point out banal incompetence and small scale corruption so it can be corrected without being retaliated against by petty members of the city government with egg on their face, even when there are no journalists willing to take the small story.

It's not even just about whistleblowing. When you have to write everything knowing your mother, your boss and every busybody in the PTA will probably read it, people are going to self-censor.

And then there's this: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/apr/07/twitter-t...

> Anonymous leaks are still best presented by a journalist that's willing to vet the info and put their name on it.

Journalist is not a title of nobility, it's anyone engaged in that specific activity.

To do what you're asking, a source would need to anonymously send the information to different prospective journalists until one has the resources and willingness to vet and publish it, in parallel if it's at all time sensitive. In other words, the source needs the ability to send information anonymously to an arbitrarily large number of people with no formal credentials. Who then themselves need the ability to anonymously pass it on to arbitrarily many others who they think might have more resources or be more willing to formally attach themselves to something with risk of retaliation by powerful forces.

Which is basically a description of anonymous social media.

> What anonymity does do to social media is muddy the waters to a great degree. Online discourse is now built on bad faith, because of the lack of consequence and reputation.

We already have the ability to verify identities. We know that @ggreenwald on Twitter is Glenn Greenwald of The Intercept because it says so on the official web page of The Intercept.

Nothing stops anyone from only reading things written by people with verified identities. If you don't like anonymous or pseudonymous speech then why are you listening to it? Instead what you're proposing is to prohibit everyone else from hearing it. Which is never something anyone should get to decide for everyone else.
Thanks for telling me your approach!

For all the examples you gave, I feel like those are the sort of thing that become so familiar in the process of working with those objects (e.g. spending long hours seeking proofs of theorems when I first studied them) that they’d be hard to forget, and I have trouble seeing how such cards would be helpful. I suppose if I just read through the textbooks and sought to memorize the definitions and proofs by rote then this would make sense, but I’ve always been told, and practiced, that the best way to learn the material is to find the proofs myself rather than just reading them straight through. And having done that, the key ideas of the proof, and especially the definitions (which became burned into my brain in the process of working with them) seem to last for months or years without explicit recall.

With language learning, it feels much more to me like rote memorization of an arbitrary mapping between labels in one language and labels in the other, so I find spaced repetition much more helpful.

I’m not trying to be dismissive here, just genuinely trying to understand. I would love to find a more efficient method for studying math, as it’s the main thing I do right now with my time and I expect at least several more years of it. If I’m missing a better way then I’d really like to know.

Thanks very much.
Sorry, I hope this doesn't sound arrogant and after reading your other responses I am still not sure whether you are joking or not... But using flashcards to learn a programming language is by far the strangest thing I have ever heard.

Usually, a programming language (or an API or whatever) has some core part which you use daily. So, no need to memorize anything actively. Yes, sometimes you write something and wonder "Is there an easier or more idiomatic way to do that?", then you will search in the manuals or on stackexchange and you see how it's done. If you are curious (which I hope), you will maybe also check WHY it is the easiest resp. most idiomatic way. Again, no need for active memorization. Then there is the part of the language or API that you rarely need and that you don't have to memorize anyway.

To be honest, I am completely speechless. Flashcards? To memorize programming manuals? I know people who use flashcards when following crash courses to qualify as Cisco engineers or whatever. But for programming???
For the benefit of HN readers, no serious economist supports tariffs in any form.

I'm not going to pretend to be an economist, serious or otherwise, so I won't dispute this notion.

Tariffs appeal to the naive idea that trade imbalances between two nations are a bad thing.

This, however, needs some augmentation.

Tariffs are a tool. Like most tools, they can be used multiple ways.

Tariffs aren't only for balancing trade. The most common use is to punish another country economically for engaging in an action, such as doing business with the wrong people, or imposing other tariffs.

Tariffs are also used to create jobs. To me, this is the most important function of a tariff, and one which the current American has very visibly implemented repeatedly.

A high import tariff on a particular type of product can help create jobs in that sector domestically.

There are vast numbers of people in every nation who are not able to — and will never be able to — code a program, or invest in the stock market, or found a startup, or work a robot assembling a car. But they can snap plastic forks off of a mold in a factory, or drive a forklift in an aluminum plant, or mix the concrete that paves the roads you drive on every day.

These are actual, real human beings who deserve to have jobs and dignity.

In SV this these people are often dismissed as undesirables who just need to be "re-trained." But a significant percentage of the population cannot be re-trained, for various reasons ranging from mental capability to physical limitations to family obligations to things you an I will never experience.

The real re-training that has to happen is in the chattering internet classes who think the majority of the nation is like them, and it's OK to leave everyone else behind because... progress.

A tariff won't create the next American entrepreneur. But if it keeps 10,000 people from becoming homeless, I'm all for that.
Personally, it's not primarily about the actual ads, but all the tracking and JavaScript and shady UI patterns.

Somebody trying to tell me I should keep all ads on because ads pay for the content? Fuck that, tracking my every move pays for the content, and I want no part of that, even if I lose access to the content.

The ad industry wired the consumers to expect things for free to begin with, so I don't know why I should feel any guilt at all for trying to block ads and gigabytes worth of unnecessary and often down right malicious JavaScript code.
Why are you assuming they're arguing in bad faith when nothing they've said implies that? I'm interested in a solid answer to his question as well.
While no economist is yet advocating tariffs, except perhaps Peter Navarro (who's not taken that seriously), the attitude among economists that free trade is unequivocally a good thing is starting to change. There is traction for the work of David Autor where he argues that the effects of trade are unevenly distributed and thus some people do not benefit from free trade. The policy ramifications of this gaining traction could wind up with economists favoring tariffs in some cases.

The grocer example isn't really applicable. We both use the same currency so the grocer can use the local currency I pay for groceries to buy goods elsewhere or pay their employees. With foreign trade you have different currencies and a current account, the trade equation isn't as straightforward. An accurate analogy would be buying groceries via a barter system where I'd exchange good or services for groceries or a promise for future goods or services (eg, "luke-bucks") in exchange for groceries.

Suppose your coal or nuclear steam plant suffers not just fuel cost, but an additional cost every time you ramp its output up or down. At times when instantaneous demand is less than you are producing, it could well be cheaper to pay someone else to take the excess energy off your hands than to adjust your plant. That's simply a negative price. Hard to get freaked out over that.
Op never said anything about 'lols'. I'm cautious but this is one area where I think the administration might be doing something correctly (but I don't know).

We lost a lot of manufacturing and it should have been OK because we could just move up the value chain to tech. Between the great firewall, restrictive cloud rules, partnership requirements, and IP transfers that hasn't worked out.

I don't know if the policies are best but I agree with the statement that as far as all the administrations policy proposals, this is one example of where I'm willing to take a wait-and-see approach.
In a functioning education system (which the US system arguably isn't), 12 years of schooling is more than sufficient to produce a well rounded person capable of being a productive and engaging member of civil society. It is not clear to me what the societal benefit is beyond that.

I can agree that college is becoming a band-aid to make up for the serious problems found in earlier years. To the point that, in recognition of this, many now call people who have not graduated from college 'uneducated', which is pretty sad when you think that 12 years of completed schooling hasn't provided an education. But the solution for healing a wound isn't to provide a more affordable band-aid. It is to address what is causing the wound in the first place.

It need not be a difficult fix politically. Nobody, who isn't emotionally or financially invested in college being a band-aid, is going to argue against educating our youth in the K-12 system. The only roadblock is getting someone to think about the issue, as the advertising done by the colleges has left us believing that education simply isn't provided any other way other than through colleges.

Of course, not all of them are, but there are many who actively use Twitch to promote "premium" snapchats, or NSFW patreons. The streamers that engage in this are creating a really negative space for the female streamers who just want to use the platform without that added pressure. And it's important to understand that a large portion of the Twitch audience is quite young and impressionable.

China can't just "call in" debt from treasury bonds, that's not how they work at all. And what happens after they sell a bunch of treasury bonds? Everyone knows that the yuan is propped up by the Chinese government and ain't worth a spit internationally, and US treasury bonds are still considered a good investment at present.
What’s the pricing for the pitched product?
China's economy is where a large part of the world's future growth will occur, in the longer term capital will reallocate itself around trade barriers to get access to it.

In the short term, the US could potentially get some concessions that it wants. However, things have already gotten further than most predicted, lots of people expected China to give Trump a few crumbs that didn't really matter but allow him to declare victory. Trump seems to not want that, so it might be too late to avoid damage.

And yes, he was banned from speaking due to hate speech laws.

I really know that. I live in Germany and have been briefed extensively. Our last emperor was the first to introduce legislation against hate-speech. But that was in the 19th century. Of course you do not find references to laws from the Weimar Republic and before in modern legislation.
Doesn't this all assume that all trading partners are being fair and honest, though?

For example, let's say a country artificially keeps prices low for microchips in an effort to infiltrate the US market (for whatever underlying reason). Or some other country's clothing is super-cheap because they use forced labor.

I'm no economist, and I'm not even well-versed in the subject. I don't even know if these are real-world scenarios. But it's things like this that have always bothered me when people advocate for straight-up libertarianism, or complete lack of government oversight. Because there are always people who don't play fair.
this seems really cool. anyone using it for any projects right now? i wonder how it compares to p5 in performance.

development-wise, the structure of a pts space looks very similar to that of a p5 sketch based on the starter example. setup looks more involved than p5, but imo a worthy trade-off because the result is real modules and a better bundling experience. but for those less in tune with the bundling zeitgeist of javascript in 2018, this could be a real barrier to entry. either way, i can't wait break it
AR applications already provide concrete added value in construction where you can overlay the digital model with the site for inspections and such.

I would see Magic Leap falls to same category as hololens - which is used for real work in the construction industry - but only on a more affordable price point.

The key question is how easy it is to develop applications for it. Hololens basically consumes unity apps which makes it a pretty easy for development and deployment.
What a load of crap. Ignoring the fantastic abuses that the US commits everyday against its minority and poor folks, disenfranchising and imprisoning them and basically kicking them out of regular society... China is a sovereign nation and has every right to Govern itself the way it wants to. They may not have the same system and freedom that the West is used to, but authoritarianism has been the norm in China for centuries. The one time they tried to be a Republic: Civil War happened (with a LOT of Western intervention, no less).

I think ethically you shouldn't be making judgements about another country when you clearly know so little about it.
> Has anyone tried to estimate the value lost to less efficient traffic flow?

I currently work with traffic safety applications, and while I do not claim full expertise in this industry, I do know that the primary metric for success is reducing the number of fatalities. I have never seen a single product request around balancing efficiency of traffic against lives. That just isn't how the goalposts are set.
