I haven't found any, either.

This is a shame because economics is already a computational discipline and increasingly so. It can be of interest to the HN crowd.

There is an awful lot of programming done by people that are not professional programmers. As an economist myself, I think code have become so central to our profession that we can no longer afford to ignore software engineering best practices. Conversely, there may be quite a few topics in computational economics that interest programmers.

For instance, an awful lot of macroeconomics - including to an extent Romer's sub-field, endogenous growth theory - is essentially programming in Dynare [0] and doing computer simulations.

Nordhaus got the prize for developing (quite basic, actually) simulation models that integrate the economic systems and environmental systems. See for instance there [1].

Micro-simulation is of course a big area where programming and economics meet - you can follow development on github [2, 3]. This is code that has an enormous impact on society, as it is used as a basis to evaluate the effects of policies.

Econometrics, aka statistics for economics, is also a big area where programmers could contribute to economic research. There is a big push to adapt ML techniques to solve economists' problems, eg Athey's research [4].

Yes, and that "reckoning" was a digging bigger hole. The real reckoning is when European sovereign yields go through the roof when the ECB runs out of ammo…
It's not just the traffic lights in Japan, it's the traffic lights all around the world, if you're a Japanese person. My wife and I always refer to it as blue when speaking Japanese and we live in my home country. It's jus St a cultural norm and the truth is not actually important to human beings, so it doesn't surprise me.

They call grass 'blue' too. There's even a familiar expression with a Japanese twist that goes "The grass is bluer on the other side".

Apparently "blue" used to be a pretty wide range of colors ranging from quite very dark, almost black blues to normal blue and the kind of green that is often referred to as blue. Japanese has a fairly large number of loan words for colors indicating some colors were introduced to their lexicon through contact with foreigners. Pink is an example of that. They have 'sakura-iro' which represents the color of cherry blossoms but it's not a proper representation of pink by itself as you wouldn't use it to refer to say a hot pink.

The level of cognitive dissonance I have to endure every time we're stopped at the lights still irks me.
One error I spotted is that at 4kb each, 1GB only gets you 250,000 goroutines (i.e. article is wrong by an order of magnitude). Easy mistake to make, but bad in a comparison article.

Yes. No widespread adoption of Unix for instance. :)
What if the comfort they need is not living a life with dementia and not wishing to burden their loved ones with that status quo?

With dementia some people revert into a blissful state of ignorance, while for others every day is a new day awakened into a nightmarish state of constant agitation, anger, confusion, and loss. Often this is a state that no amount of therapy or care can address. Couple that with a strong body, and you can be kept 'comfortably' alive for a decade or more. Hardly a humane solution to not wishing to allow people to choose their own death.

It also means that in countries with that view codified in law, anyone wishing to avoid that level of personal hell will have to commit suicide long before the need is there — depriving themselves and loved ones of an unknown length of time spent as they please.
>Most of the bases were well welcomed during the cold war

Only if you never bothered to ask the center- and left-inclined population of each country (which was quite substantial) -- and ignored the protests against them.

And with the help of a few interventions (e.g. in Italy) and dictatorships (e.g. in Greece) imposed when needed to keep some pro-US goons in government.
Simply put: psychological warfare.

It's where you weed out the people who don't think happy thoughts, and force employees to sing the feel-good company song every morning.

The one's that don't sing loud enough are flagged for performance reviews, improvement plans and political re-education at labor camps in cold climates. Dissidents who are found to be resistant to the indoctrination get disappeared.

It's all part of the Microsoft master plan. Intake via linked in. Appraisal via github code reviews, and now, analyzing who can get the best laughs on the team slack channel, while keeping it rated PG and pro-corporate. Too few emojis, and your homeland security threat level trips the yellow flag. Sardonic anti-establishment humor gets an orange alert. Red for being too quiet, too loud, or otherwise suspicious.

Drink an extra cup of coffee in the morning. Be harmonious. Sing the anthem louder.
Maybe, and only maybe, the problem here is that people still believe journalists.

>Irrational numbers occupy the vast, vast majority of space on a number line—so vast, in fact, that if you were to pick a number on the number line at random, there is literally a 100 percent chance that it will be irrational.*

The asterisk at the end doesn't seem to lead to an actual footnote. What is meant by this? That irrational numbers are more than 99.5% of all numbers and so it rounds to 100%?
This is covered in the paper. They use static analysis to know the memory costbof a kernel function and rather than optimistically run the kernel function and then unwind it if they run out of memory, they delay it until memory is available.
I never really found the verb list to be entirely satisfactory. It's great that they gave boundaries but I find it too verbose. There are other kinds of syntactic ergonomics with concise vocabulary (lisp has ! xxx p$ for instance, they're a bit harder to swallow but I find the code a bit more poetic and easier to remember as a pattern).

About the objects vs strings, Kalman Reti (of Symbolics IIRC) talked [1] about how an OS passing pointers could enjoy a much easier time instead of serializing everything as strings then deserializing, especially when done ad-hoc through sed/grep/perl/whatever .. It pains me to see this. It pains me to see how linux basic utils are 30% --usage, 30% output formatting (and they all share this).

MS did a great thing with PS.

In general, if I'm targeting OSX, I use those locations as recommended, but make symlinks to relevant config/etc. from there to the XDG-suggested locations.
Bloom’s 2 sigma problem was a fascinating study. Regarding the tutoring aspect, at College Connections we want to take this a step further. We use our in-house-designed software MentorMatch to connect students and tutors based on the strength of their personality compatibility. It has been said that “The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled.” This echoes anecdotal evidence that students enjoy their work more when they get on with their teacher. Furthermore, we will reduce the cost of private tutoring by targeting schools recent alumni who are happy to tutor students in their schools for a lower rate than professional private tutors. We are currently hoping to conduct a large scale study with few schools to see whether personality-based tutoring matching can actually yield results beyond two sigma!

I will forever wonder why 8-bit computers of the 80s didn't have more powerful video hardware. It's not that the technology wasn't available, since most arcade machines at the time had a lot more powerful graphics hardware than 8-bit home machines.

(I will also forever wonder why Sega's 16-bit console didn't have hardware sprite scaling and rotation, since that was the main attraction of Sega games at the time...)

I don't think it was only economic reasons, because I really doubt it would be that much more expensive to have a few tiled background layers, a few more sprites on the screen and a few more colors in a decent (i.e. not 16o pixels wide) resolution...

[1] A fancy expression to say "using programming to solve economic models"
Can you please dig deeper, that I am not sure I follow.

In which case in rust you cannot be sure that "the drop" will be called?
"Weird" is a strong word. Once the compiler has proven the codes satisfies certain type constraints you usually don't need the type information anymore ... except when you do of course.
The example provides the same error information three times ("EPERM", "Invalid permissions on myfile.out", "Cannot write to myfile.out, file does not have write permissions"), followed by a recommendation that might not be correct.

Yes, this is an example, but surely you'd want an example that shows the strength of doing this verbosely? A good example of a verbose error message system is Rust's compiler output (or newer clang/gcc outputs). Being verbose for no reason other than to be verbose is just wasting the users' time (or they just ignore the spam -- which is what I would do if I used a tool that spammed me with multiple lines of output whenever it hit an -EPERM).

Personally, something like:

% foo ./bar
foo: write config to "./bar": Permission denied

Is clearer to me than your example. Maybe something like

% foo ./bar
foo: write config to "./bar": Permission denied
Hint: Have you tried <possible-recommendation>?

Is sometimes okay (and I have done this for my own projects as well), but it's something that should be done in moderation...

> You're much more likely to be helpful to a confused user than someone grepping logs and looking for terse output on a single line.

There are two sides to this. Outputting lots of text can also cause a user to get confused (if we're talking about making things easy for not-necessarily-technical users).

When teaching (high-school) students to program, we quickly learned that even somewhat verbose output like Python's stacktraces can cause students to suddenly become anxious because there's a pile of text on their screen telling them they did something wrong. Adding more text to output does not always help, and you should keep that in mind.
>Last year Greece stopped the European Union from criticising China’s human-rights record at a UN forum.
Hungary and Greece prevented the EU from backing a court ruling against China’s expansive territorial claims in the South China Sea.

Maybe if the EU hadn't forced Greece to sell their largest port to the highest bidder they'd do better. Some German lobbyists thought they'd get it for pennies, then the Chinese stepped in and bought it for a half-decent price.
Also Greece, Hungary and Czech Republic would be much fonder of the "European" side (a euphemism for "Franco-German Bank interests" at this point) if they weren't treated like second-class colonies to be milked and dumped to the trash.

I can assure you that the cental European lobbies will abuse the periphery up until the very last drop of patience runs out.

In this case, they lost a piece of the carcass they were tearing up because they were too sure no other preditors were around. But if they keep pushing the smallest countries this way, nobody will care about allegiance to "Europe" (whatever that means) in the future.
I wish the US would step in and stop them from destroying the EU, but I guess they don't care much, which is disappointing.

...but most of this thread is "bashing" the US and EU.

The best you could say about HN is that it hosts a pro-China contingent and an anti-China contingent, each of which believes the site is biased towards the other. But the site itself and the userbase is too diverse to be accurately labeled one or the other.

Sure, I've seen that. No disagreement in that are. However, you can see both poverty reduction and improved education almost everywhere, even in countries where that's made mode difficult by steep population growth.

Look at this, for example (GP mentioned both poverty and education so I was curious and went to look at the second of the two): https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/primary-enrollment-select... Niger is far behind Hungary and the UK, but Niger's curve doesn't look like failure to me, it looks like a success starting later than the others on the graph, and all the more impressive considering Niger's population growth. Faster growth than Hungary despite despite population growth.

I'm perplex. There's a general argument, GP's is an example, that goes a little like this: "(something) may be the best ever, but it's (a failure/not good enough/...) and it's clear that (someone else/another approach/...) will achieve much better results". I don't see that it's clear not at all. But I don't see that GP is stupid either. So... I'm perplex. What is it I'm missing about GP's comment?

Maybe, but the article setting the tone of the discussion, the one with (currently) 70 points, is bashing China.

A similar US-bashing political article would never get that much upvoted. Methinks.
I would guess it means "in some sense". In a measure-theoretic sense, for example. You need to give it meaning somehow, as you cannot really pick a "random" real number with any algorithm (most real numbers are actually not even computable!).

It could also be a remark that in infinite sets 100% (in a measure-theoretic sense) does not mean all of the elements.
As long as there is no fiscal union you can't simply share the loss between member states. Is as simple as that. We can talk about we and the "EU budget" all time long but if we want to talk about "our" money and "our" debt the we need some kind of fiscal union. We can't talk about "our" money only when we get bankrupted.
Then again, on a recent linux system, the non-ability to write to the file might be permissions. Or an immutable attr, or selinux, or apparmor, or setfacl flags or a RO mount where it lies. As soon as you decide to print out the solution to "can't write to: X" you are in for a page full of advice on what to look for. Perhaps the disk was full, perhaps uid was wrong, perhaps the 5% reserved-for-root-only kicked in.
You'd end up writing a unix sysadmin guide, and then perhaps the parent dir had too strict perms to allow you to write to a file in it...
This is the only possible explanation. Other than the other, much more plausible, one.
A strong external military force, along with the devastation of European countries with global ambitions in WWII (UK, French, Germany, and co), means there were neither resources nor reason for war in Europe for most of the 20th century. Heck, for most of that time Germany was still split in two.

USSRs occupation of the other half also kept "peace" there (and in conflict between the two sides would have escalated to a full global war, which was in nobody's interest).

Yugoslavia for example was only a state because the different nations were kept under the same rule. When that rule was gone, 60 years of "living together" didn't do anything to prevent ethnic tensions.

How things shape in 10 or 20 years is anybody's guess.

Scanning outbound connections is not a meaningful defense in this case there are legitimate outbound connections going to say China and given China's ability to capture any inbound traffic there are def. ways to ex-filtrate data without raising any flags.
To me the wording, "Any particular reason you didn't do x?" wasn't an implied accusation. In fact it was the opposite. It was assumed that the original poster had taken all measures and had a good reason why they didn't take the action. It is similar to saying, "Have you considered...?" It is a less combative way to say, "You should have done x," which does implied that the original poster did something wrong.

Pity. Your worries actually come from not facts, but imagination. Just replace China with US in those sentences, much less worries will be arisen. Furthermore, there's no facts about China's threat emerging yet, compared to US/NATO's several military operations against quite a few sovereignties, and numerous military bases all over the world, which ensure their bombs to blow your bedroom wherever you are within 1 hour.
Just be honest to your heart. You feel worries merely because they are yellow while you are white, and that uncomfortableness needs some time to be relieved.

Yes, a lot of journalist do a very good job at providing crucial information that is vital to a democracy.

Journalism is an important counter-power. Without journalism you wouldn't be aware of corruption, abuse of power and many other things.

Yes there is tabloïd, yes there is bad reporting, bad journalism and yes, in the age of internet, even reputable journals spread unverified news.
But dismissing an entire profession is amongst the most dangerous thing you can do.

If you have an issue with some journalist, you can go and pay for journals that do a good job at verifying sources and do real investigation jobs. They are here, they exist.

The only ones I use you might think of as command line tools. top. Apache’s monitoring tools via Lynx. Etc.

What I like about them is that they’re information-dense and extremely performant; and a bit more discoverable than a CLI. What I dislike about them is that they tend to be poor at surfacing or highlighting important information or providing context. And they’re far less discoverable than a modern GUI.
My personal anecdotal evidence is that they are not junior in the organizational chart. I'm just a contractor. They are a part of the company. Who am I to tell them they shouldn't comment "what" and "how" after every line they write?

This job made me hate inline comments. If I were to ever create a new language, I'd insist in there being no way to write comments in the same line as executable code.
