I expect you to know fundamentals about things like TCP networking and how to install, configure and manage Linux Distributions.

I find many people who can install Ubuntu and run the canned commands or curl foo.sh | sudo bash or docker / k8s scripts they download, think they know what they are doing.

They dont.

Its getting to the point someone who can install windows is more technical than someone who can install linux
Ask HN: Resources to Self-study Mathematics from BS to MS level?
Hey HN community,

I've been looking to get deep and build my math skills from the foundation up. I have the time to dedicate to this endeavor and I'd love to hear if you have any specific resources/curriculums you recommend.

Something like https://www.susanjfowler.com/blog/2016/8/13/so-you-want-to-learn-physics would be ideal, but more focused on applied math.

One idea I had was to complete the MIT open courseware courses for the Applied and Pure math fields
It is more complicated than that.

I was reading recently about how the Shah of Iran was ended and how the US intentionally helped that happen while they were allies. I dug into that more.

Shah of Iran didn't have any imperial ambitions but the west didn't support him because of geopolitics reasons.

> The Shah of Iran had promoted secular rule and thus he believed that he would be embraced by the west. He also believed that his transformation of Iran from a near Middle Ages nation to a modern nation would be appreciated by the world at large. But, instead, he had gone too far too fast for Western interests.

Same story but a different reason how British and Roosevelt did influence on Mosaddegh's overthrow! While Mosaddegh was doing everything that we would praise by today's standards and our modern values:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammad_Mosaddegh

When you read two stories you just realize how geopolitics reasons can be unfair sometimes.

Many countries are destabilized because of regimes changes for sake of geopolitics reasons. And it is really hard to say if there is any positive outcome for anyone in it.
So I was actually reading Stanislaw Lem's biography(famous Polish Sci-Fi Author) and it's full of gems about this.

A lot of his correspondence with other authors in years 1955-1965 is about the fact that even being a recognized and "well paid" author means nothing under the communist system. What use is having hundreds of thousands of Polish zlotys, if you can't actually buy anything with them? Obviously you could use them to buy food and pay rent, but you couldn't just go and buy a new TV or a car, even though you had enough money for either - but without getting the right permissions and coupons you simply couldn't buy it.

A really interesting bit was about him having to go to Prague to collect the money for his books sold in Czechoslovakia, but he was paid in koronas - which were useless back in Poland, you couldn't even exchange them for zlotys at the time, much less for any currency that would be useful. So him and his wife basically spent 2 weeks in Prague living as lavishly as possible in that system spending pretty much everything he earned in one go - because that money was worthless otherwise. I think he said he lived for 2 weeks on a diet of caviar because that was the most expensive thing on the menu of the hotel restaurant, and he had to burn through this pile of money.

Getting Eastern Deutsche Marks for his books was slightly more attractive, because it allowed him to purchase a car that was above any ZSRR produced vehicle - a real East Germany Wartburg! Of course it turned out to be absolute crap as well, but that was the best he could hope for without finding a source of real Western money - with Dollars he could have bought a proper western car, but it was impossible to do otherwise no matter how "rich" he was.

Tbh I do the same. GDB is just a massive tool that I feel uncomfortable with.

Maybe that is a missing niche of the market; a debugging protocol similar to the language protocol used in VSCode (RLP in Rust provides this).

Then the IDE could integrate with any language and debug it, regardless of the details on how the language functions. And it can provide a better UI than GDB (which isn't a high bar, it's more like trying to dig down to find the bar because GDB UI is horrid)

Gamification: Motivation Model
I like TablePlus, but at $59/yr a license is ridiculous. Luckily the feature set isn't that much greater with a license, just minor annoyance on tabs which I've developed a habit of closing a tab as soon as I don't need it.
I have been using Mi powerbank 2i for my Rpis for last 9 months or so. I have had zero issues with it. The advantage of using 2i are,

1. It's dirt cheap than any other solution I found($15, I use 10k mah version)

2. I can plug RPi to it and I can plugin a charger in 2i. When the main power cuts off, It'll instantly switch over to battery with 0 downtime. I think this is called passthrough charging)

3. It can provide 2.5 or 3.5 amps(not sure about exact value) output

4. It has two ports

Why is it still standard to use a single shared card number for non-revocable authorization and no interactive confirmations for online payments?
jemalloc is a strong memory allocator. But I expect that the team felt that most applications don't need to ship their own memory allocator.

An issue that Rust has had to overcome is that it produces bloated binaries by default. Hello World type applications are hundreds of kilobytes long, because they ship jemalloc and libunwind. Removing one of those helps.

Nord VPN handles this in a somewhat unique way among the subscription services I use. They send out an automated email 3 days before they charge for the next month. This seems like a sensible middle ground to me given the lack of infrastructure for services to notify card issuers of their intent to charge.
I think the incentives in play force companies to act callous. It seems to me that companies are wary to act with empathy lest they get sued and the court takes it as an admission of guilt (or at least evidence of culpability, or something the jury will pay attention to). It's like that old advice where you should never say "sorry" after a car accident (as a Brit, apologising is a natural impulse even when not at fault) because it can be taken as an admission of fault.
I deleted facebook and made a newsletter much like the poster described, a little over a year ago.

For me, part of the motivation for removing facebook was removing the relationship load (for the lack of a better term), which categorizes the types of people you're describing. I'm sure people are different here, but I personally get plenty of exposure from non-core relationship from other sources (instagram(facebook 2.0 lol), twitter, etc.). The cost of keeping facebook just for those types of people didn't make sense for me.

I anticipated losing events to be a big deal, but it's worked out (maybe ignorance is bliss and I'm just missing out on everything).

You should not be torn, nor should NDA's and prohibition on negative review be "typical settlement stuff"

That is a problem in society today, and why many of these companies get away with massive amounts of bad behavior. We has a society view it acceptable for these corporations to pay off their victims with hush money, instead of actually holding them accountable for their bad actions

Here Wag is not stepping up, doing their right thing, or making the victim whole. They are (or were attempting to) pay off their victim to silence them. That should not be viewed by anyone as ethically right

Scientists Are Working on a Pill for Loneliness
One thing HN has taught me many times is I’m too trustful of people and things. I was defending Theranos way past their sell-by date, and I’ve been refusing to take “Facebook / Zuck is evil” seriously for a long time too. This isn’t a good look for them at all tho
I don't know where you got your statistics most are false, half complete or misleading. Even in place like Shanghai, its been around 15 years they built Lingang City is still empty, now waiting for Tesla factory to populate, govt spend over 38 billion dollars to build it, people bought apartment blocks seating empty or acting as construction workers living quarters.

Go to a mall right next to Huangpu river near Lupu bridge mostly empty for last 10 years built by Greenland (it's the main downtown area). As others pointed out most of these homes and commercial ventures are waiting for price rises to sale and are seating empty. This narrative of urbanization is pretty old, now it's impact is very little in city like Shanghai.

At present across China there is price but no buyers. People are holding on to real estate until they get atleast bit more than what they bought. On the other hand people's saving has already been consumed by SOE and govt spending. So the only way to prop up economy is to print money like USA. As long as other countries do not want RMB to depreciate, they can print money and prop up the economy.
Manage the Clock
> With compute being pushed out closer to customers "Mobile Edge Compute"

That seems implausible to me. We already have the equivalent of supercomputers in our pockets, and yet the trend is to move computing away from the end user, onto centralized servers.
I found a similar reality in other developing countries. 1 hour outside of Dubai you can find giant luxury apartment blocks & chalet communities with 50% occupancy of basically only foreigners. A nearby deserted mall that is stock full of the top brands of everything and anything at top-dollar (literally) but just outside the "locals" live in abject poverty and work in the 50C sun. I have also seen in it Uzbekistan where a newly invigorated government rushes to throw up skyscrapers and luxury apartment complexes that nobody can afford while the local populations still lives in soul-crushing conditions.

My theory is that many developing countries use the wrong metric to gauge their success, looking to count their skyscrapers or their advanced techno-cities but fail to see that the success of "developed" countries lies more in their justice and governance systems.
Watching a movie on a DVD or from a file on your hard drive is still a movie, tangible or not.

In the example of the Magic card, those cards had no value for a human being, biologically speaking. We gave them value. You could as well write the card text on a piece of paper and play it the same way.

The fact they are tangible pieces of paper doesn't erase the gambling-for-children aspect. Nor does it give them any more real value than a video game bonus. They have the value we estimate in our heads.

You give for example a low value to a LoL skin. But to a player that spends hours a day on it, and use it as a central platform for social interactions and fun, the skin has an impact, and for a long time.

I played dota for a years, I never bough a skin, but when I won one, I sure used it.

Honestly the person who wrote this post is absolutely out of touch with reality.

FOSS , except for a few technology, will never be sustainable .

Why ?

- Because entreprises prefer to pay Billions to proprietary products and have someone that can be held accountable for failure.

- Because entreprises executives consider that Open Source = You don’t have to pay anything.

- Because Oracle , IBM , Microsoft have spent the last decades telling entreprises executives that FOSS « does not scale » and is « very insecure » while they are actually just copying stuff from open source and rebranding it as their own.

FOSS will never ever be sustainable because the industry has been shaped around proprietary ecosystems by companies who are now worth hundreds of Billions of dollars.

Outside of few startups very few companies make donations to FOSS projects to keep them running.

Maybe it’s juste me but I’m fairly confident that a blog post and a Google Form won’t fix anything in the industry.

On the other hand , Microsoft , IBM advocating their customers to fund open sources instead of buying proprietary products while they are selling consulting services would fix the entire problem.

Will this ever happen ? It won’t. Licencing bring billions in revenue to these companies it would be absolute suicide.
To be honest, I thought this was going to be far more interesting (and actually relevant to FPGAs) than it is. FPGA companies are VERY backwards, but this is just basic stuff. They want to protect their brand. This isn't saying that you can't talk about Xilinx or you can't talk about Xilinx and Intel/Altera. It's saying that you can't use their LOGO.

This isn't Xilinx trying to shut down discussion, this isn't about X trying to take down criticism. This is about Xilinx protecting their Trademark that you aren't allowed to use - and it's important, because they actually have people who pay them money to use that logo.
TodoMVC with Haskell and GTK+ tutorial
Still, I don't think that this compares. Bad test results rarely ever cause death, especially when the really time critical tests are done in clinics. And it's really hard to prove a test is wrong, or even maliciously wrong.

So I do believe that someone with questionable ethics is much more likely to assume he can get away with mostly-fake lab tests than with killing patients outright with something obvious like a bad reaction to a blood transfusion. Even infections with a blood-borne Virus would probably be discovered within a year or two, because blood transfusions are sort of the first culprits you have in mind.

I'm not convinced. Current fallback implementation seems to not work very well - my mobile connection is slowest (if it even works decently) when it tries to change between 4G and 3G, while if I force 3G then it works decent.

This is exclusive to Portugal right now, but we have a system called MBNet/MBWay that is supported by all the major banks in which you can create one-time use cards or cards with recurring monthly allowances for use in the same vendor.

It's really well polished and has a lot of other very useful QoL features, such has direct transfers based on cellphone numbers, which allow you to instantly pay dinner debts to your friends. I am surprised to hear it doesn't exist outside pt.

Print debugging is a case of the Flub Paradox.

Suffering is subjective, contextual and personnal.

Suffering linked to attachment to something can be great, not matter the something. It's the attachment that matters, and it's not produced by the nature of the thing, but by the experience the person had of the thing.

It's created suffering anyway, so the amount you generate is up to you, and is not related to the loss.

The most instantly recognizable one, with a clear commercial potential, is cloud gaming.

Other fuzzier ones are, uh, crunch live video or audio captured by the device via beefy compute to... display overlays? Search similar products? Live translation? Calculate evasive maneuvers? A lot of these are limited by interface concerns that introduce human or other 'latency' anyway, making connectivity latency between the base station where the 'edge' is, and the device itself less of an issue.
For example you can't just write [1, 2, 3]->map(...) in PHP.

Right now the best is to use something like Laravel's collect, e.g. collect([1, 2, 3])->map(...). Oftentimes all you want is to add one method to an object. Right now you would have to sub-class it or write an ugly wrapper function.

Infix-Functions are one way to "extend" functionality without messing with inheritance – with other words, you can easier express what you mean with less code in an consistent way. In Android dev, Kotlin and Infix-Functions are quite popular. Too often in PHP you have to write some_function($object). The other thing is that PHP has a lot of strange function names and Infix-Functions could help to give the language designers a second chance to come up with better names, even if the Infix-Functions just call the existing code.
