I would also nominate Wittgenstein for similar reasons. To this day I still consider him the "deepest" philosopher I've read, paradoxically because he managed to stay on the surface of things and not get tricked by alluring (but ultimately nonsensical) word constructs. The subtlety of his thought is both mindblowing and very pleasing aesthetically — has anyone matched his talent for metaphor yet?
Declarative Programming: Is It a Real Thing? (2015)
> I'm worried because you have a protocol implemented in the userland for a few mainstream languages. It seems everyone now has to pay the price of a protocol implementation on top of a protocol implementation on top of a protocol implementation. Big players---either because they have thousands of open source developers, or is backed by a corporation---they have it easy. Smaller players? Not so much.

This can be partially mitigated in the same way it has been worked-around before: Through proxies. The fact that HTTP/3 is still only HTTP makes it even easier.

E.g. on the server side it might be good enough to have an API gateway, load balancer or CDN which understands HTTP/3 and forwards things in boring HTTP/1.1 to internal services. That's not very different from terminating TLS somewhere before the actual service implementation. Actually service implementations don't even have to speak HTTP - they can also talk via stdin/out to a HTTP/3 server in another language - which means back to CGI.

On the client side, we could deploy a client-side proxy server which translates localhost HTTP/1.1 requests into remote HTTP/3 requests. If that thing is part of the OS distribution, it's actually not that much different from a TCP/IP stack which is delivered as part of the kernel. However if it's not part of the OS it might cause some trust issues. And apart from that it might be a bit inconvenient for users, since now applications need to be changed to make use of the proxy.

Actually, Bei = Pe, in another form of romanization. "B" in Hanyu Pinyin is an unaspirated "p". In addition, "j" was indeed a "k"-like sound in the past. Mandarin Chinese underwent a linguistic process called palatalization, which softens "k"-like sounds; the same process has Italian pronounce "k" sounds as "tch", and, to a further extreme, has English and French pronounce them as "s".
> The Yale history department intends to hire more than a half-dozen faculty members this year alone. Meanwhile, the chancellor of the University of Wisconsin–Stevens Point, Bernie L. Patterson, recently proposed that the school’s history major be eliminated, and that at least one member of its tenured faculty be dismissed.

How do they expect to hire and fire faculty members at whim. This can't be done without compromising the quality which means level of education will be going down further and student attrition will increase as a result.

I do not think these skills are build in a day or retained if one is fired from the job and end up flips burgers. This idea of talent available on standby seems pretty funny to me.
It's an unfair comparison then if they don't even use Node.js to its full potential. Apple to oranges comparison.
Definitely.

I don't think there's anything wrong with Americanized cuisines in general (or cuisines adapted by immigrants in general). Tex-Mex, what we recognized as "Mexican Food" here is great and burritos from taco trucks can be amazing. But I would speculate that since Americanized Chinese food arrived so long ago, it took on the tastes of America from 60+ years ago; just bland, salty and fatty. So a new wave of authentic Chinese would be great. The problem with having Americanized Chinese food established is it's hard to change directions - the expectations of standard Chinese food is hard to fight. Trend-setters want a new cuisine and the fans of current "Chinese Food" want it as it is.
Yep. Sadly, the Web is a victim of its own success. There aren't just a few bad actors anymore. There are legions more than willing to write an endless number of malware extensions with randomly permuted uuids. There's an ad industry that long ago went off the deep end and are hoping people don't notice just a little longer. The price list for exploits is well known and buyers are easy to find.

Then again, it is still a massive cross platform content publishing and distribution system that works, despite the hostile ecosystem it inhabits. And it even includes the first truly successful cross platform programming environment.

So there's that.

"Science and Sanity" by Alfred Korzybski was a good one for me. It's where we get the phrase 'the map is not the territory.' It's been a decade since I read it so I really need to pick it up again. It's a very insightful tome about the relationship between our use of language and the reality is supposedly describes, and the implications of this imprecise relationship on the quality of our thought.

It's not the space they take up, it's the fact that they're living in a way that the place they're living in wasn't designed for. My town has a parking lot where the #vanlife people park, and it smells like piss all summer because it's a parking lot, not a campground, and there's no bathrooms there. The actual campgrounds in the area fill up quickly, and people reserve in advance. The climbing routes, hiking trails, and other recreation facilities exist roughly in proportion to the available campsites. The #vanlife people are cheating the system by illegally camping, and using resources that aren't available. If the resources were available, permits would be approved for new campgrounds or residential development.

Individuals don't do #vanlife long term, but there's enough of them that there's a consistent rolling population and the space and resources they use are roughly constant.

> Don't you need to bleed the fish out before you cut the fillet?

Especially for smaller fish, it's common to not bleed them at all. I've only cleaned fish myself a couple of times, but I've never bled them.

> Also, don't you butcher the fish as the last step before actually cooking it?

The distinction between these steps isn't always clear. Unlike mammals, fish are pretty anatomically simple, especially small ones. So the entire fish prepping process is little more than cutting a fillet off each side.

You don't need to train floor employees to spot counter fits, they just need to fix ratings to enable customers to make an informed choice. Counterfeit items work because counterfeit ratings keep them promoted in search results.

Ebay works on a trust system, feedback is good/bad/neutral with a short dialogue and rolling seller ratings over a few timescales to help users guage product/seller quality. It works reasonably well.

With Amazon you need to use third party tools to filter out the bots get a similar level of information, but you have to manually wade through a bunch of bad results.
You can see indirect evidence for this by looking at the exponential rise in ad-blocker-blocking efforts from a wide array of sites. 'Hi, we see you're using an ad blocker. Please turn it off.' That literally did not exist several years ago, even though ad blocking has been around for decades. Companies in recent years are getting aggressively desperate as the web becomes increasingly user friendly. At the same time, mobile is still dominated by an OS developed by the the world's largest ad delivery corporation - and it behaves accordingly.
Not a book but a graphic novel, _Lucifer_ by Mike Carey. It was a spinoff of Neil Gaiman's _Sandman_ which explored the Devil's life after quitting his job as ruler of Hell. In case you were thinking about the TV show–no, it's nothing like that. Lucifer in the GN, i.e. the fallen angel Samael, is a complex character but in a way he's driven by one simple desire, to be free from his Father's Plan for Creation. To not be controlled by predestination in a clockwork universe. To escape from a controlling parent.

Mixed in with the magical fantasy and high adventure, there are major philosophical themes of what it means to be free–and for Lucifer it is to absolve oneself from all concept of or involvement with worshipping a deity. It was a big influence on my thinking about religion and philosophy.

That's very strange to me, in that my experience was literally the reverse of that. I thought it was an Nvidia GPU issue, but perhaps it was a separate recall. In any case, the Genius took my MBP to the back of the store and came back a few minutes later to say that he tried to run the test twice and the MBP kernel panicked each time, so he was calling that a confirmation of the bad GPU.
Notabug.io seems nice.
I’m sorry you had that experience; your feedback is very helpful to us in pointing to where we can improve. Our storage layer which underlies the Basic tier has variable IOPS, and in this case it sounds like you were on the receiving end of a noisy neighbor. Our General Purpose and Memory Optimized tiers deliver more predictable IO and do not show the same behavior as the Basic tiers. That said we’re always working to improve all of our offerings, including Basic, and hope to provide a better experience for you in the future.

For me one of the weirdest use of this book was a vegan (and animal rights supporter) friend who copy/pasted on Facebook the speech of Old Major, the eldest pig who incite the Revolution, who was explaining to the animals how bad the farmer was treating them. For her it was perfectly expressing her feeling that farming animals was a monstrosity and she was completely ignoring that the speech was designed by the pig to manipulate the listeners (the other animals) and that it was a metaphor of communism. So for her, the issue was indeed the farmer, not as symbol of capitalism, but simply as a farmer exploiting living beings. All symbolism was evacuated and all that remained was a rousing speech for animal rights.

I suppose all book interpretation eventually shows the ideology of the reader. It doesn't even have to respect the presumed intention of Orwell who, from what I know, never expressed any support for veganism or actual animal rights.

>don't have constructs for... counting words

Having learned both Mandarin and Japanese, I go back and forth on this. While yes counters are more front-and-center in these languages, they are not completely absent in English. We do not explicitly call out (or teach) counters as a part of speech, yet while no one says "two dynamites", everyone will say "two sticks of dynamite". I see 'stick' effectively functioning as a counter there. And while venery terms are not counters, and many of them are unused in modern English, those that do persist occupy a niche that you would notice the absence of, while being decidedly absent in other languages (or in Japanese, I can think off-hand of mure as a catchall for a collective of animals, and it is less specific than English venery terms).

Overall I agree with your assessment of "interesting but a lot of the things are wrong". For instance the statements:

>And some people have used less used English letters to denote specific chinese pronunciations: Eg. in Xi Jinping, "X" is pronounced as "sh", and in Qing, "Q" is pronounced as "ch".

I was always taught that English letter choices in pinyin were not just because "some people had used" them, but as a deliberate choice by Chiense to teach each other proper putonghua, especially speakers of other dialects. And additionally, to accomplish this it borrowed from a Russian perspective on Anglicized sounds, with Russia being both a geographic and political neighbor. I don't know any Russian, but it was taught to me that the "zh-", "q-" and "x-" in pinyin were Russian in origin, albeit in a filtered, haphazard way.
33 Strategies of War. It taught me to not fear conflict, but to plan in advance for it.

A lot of warfare is not about violence even. Violence and attrition are bad, to be avoided. The goal is to win before the first shot is fired.

A lot of things that can be applied to life. For example,

Holding the high ground - don't lower yourself to someone's level just because they're taunting you. If you maintain the high ground while others try to drag you down, you'll have a large advantage.

Counterattack - sometimes the best offense is to stay on the defensive, to tip the enemy off balance and counter.

Sometimes you have to be intimidating as a form of defense. Sometimes you envelop/surround and destroy. Sometimes you want to draw attacks to decoys and straw men. Sometimes you hammer them down with suppression fire to advance. Sometimes you want to lose battles to win wars. Sometimes you have beaten and humiliated an enemy, but instead of destroying them, you recruit them to your side.

All skills useful in business, work politics, and anything that involves conflict.
I agree with you.

I got a tacoma with a tall camper shell.

I tossed a piece of foam in the back, tacked some fabric for decoration, added a hanging lamp, and that's it. I have a pelican case I keep my laptop and some stuff in, but the rest of my crap stays in plastic tubs.

I don't really want to spend time tricking it out, because the point is that I want to be out doing stuff, not fabricating a home.

I've camped out about 10 days so far this year and plan to increase that to 100% by the end of the year.

I just do it because all I want to do at this stage in life is play music and rock climb. I couldn't see doing that if I was trying to go into an upswing on my profession or build a relationship.

The point is to have a place to crash so I can stay on the road with less hassle... it's much nicer to not have to drive home after a gig or to wake up and go climb without a commute or a campsite to worry about.

I also know a lot of folks living in RVs, and I don't think that the sprinter van looks like an improvement over a commercially produced motorhome/ 5th wheel/ trailer.
Thanks for the additional info.

And I don't disagree with anything you said. However, for any concerns with computation between 10 and 800 Petaflops, I would consider them "super"-petascale (with below 10 being Petascale, above 800 being Exascale).

Summit is clearly an Exascale machine. I looked at Cori and I was surprised to find out that it has no mention of GPU in the specs, despite the project starting as late as 2015. I personally think trying to scale up CPU-only supercomputers in a super-Petascale era is a losing battle, but that's just my 0.02.
What an extremely insightful experience - thank you for sharing this!

It may sound corny, but the Fountainhead had a big impact on me in my early twenties. As I have grown older, I have unsubscribed to many of the philosophies of Ayn Rand, but there are elements in it that still resonate with me.

I also recently discovered Stoicism and there seems to be a relation (albeit weak one) between Objectivism and Stoicism.
In the other case, you're still paying rent to someone else.

Not really, if you buy a small piece of land and make a tiny house for yourself (or find a parking space for little rent). Depending on where you are, it is possible to build one for as little as 20-30K USD, vs probably 200K USD or more for a big house. Instead of paying interest for 30 years, you could invest it somewhere else.

I am not saying getting normal houses is wrong, just that it is not for everyone. There are people who despise being in debt, in any shape or form (me included), no matter how well it is dressed up ("but you are building wealth, your house would be worth 3x in 20 years!!"). Whichever feeling is bigger (not being in debit vs living in a normal house with debt) wins, and it is different for each person.

Obviously these options aren't available in big cities like NY. There are multiple good things from this movement though - people are less in debt, people don't buy junk (or buy less) because they don't have space to put it, people likely to spend more time outdoors etc.

Is the purpose of acquiring a higher-education degree to enable its holder to make more money than without? This question is especially relevant when lots of graduates are supposed to pay back hefty student loans.

If a graduate wishes to achieve other goals than merely acquiring job skills, who says that such alternative teachings are not just the one or the other form of culturally-Marxist indoctrination?

I am convinced that the historical method is an epistemologically sound knowledge approach. However, that is not how I remember history classes in high school, which as expected, amounted to promoting the official, blue-pilled narrative.

High-school history classes were not an exercise in the historical method. Who says that history in higher-education classes are?

The academia ask for a lot of time and a lot of money. Why would they be exempt from accountability? Prospective students had better ask more hard questions instead of fewer, before enrolling.

How to Buy Monero on LocalMonero in 2019?
> it was slower for a dubious benefit

Isn't this kind of arguable? The benefit is that it avoids the need to make unnecessary copies in some cases, as is basically acknowledged in the article:

> The exclusivity violation can be avoided by copying any values that need to be available within the closure

Right? And in addition to the local cost of the extra copy, there's also the more ubiquitous cost of these run-time checks. Yes, there's the potential benefit of better optimization due to the non-aliasing guarantee, but I think it's far from clear that it's an overall performance win.

While I think it's reasonable to adopt a universal "exclusivity of mutable references" policy in order to achieve memory safety and address a fear of a (vaguely-defined) notion of "mutable state and action at a distance" (referred to in the article), particularly for a language like Swift, I think it would be improper to dismiss the associated costs, or even to imply that the costs are well understood at this point. Or to imply that this policy is, at this point, known to be an optimal solution for achieving memory (or any other kind of code) safety.
This is a fair question, but I don't know if I have the time to give a well-thought answer. I'm not the kind of person who spends a lot of time thinking about animal ethics. I just thought it was important to point out the perspective of many people where it tends to differ from the stereotypical HN user.

Keep in mind that the idea that animals are not fundamentally different from humans is a breathtakingly recent idea in human history. One of the key reasons Darwin's theory was so despised initially and still today by a scary number of people is because it put humans and animals on the same plane.

A crude answer to your question is that we're smarter and more dangerous than animals and bigger and stronger than many of them. If a fish could eat me, it would. But instead, I'm able to eat it, so I do.

I also think a human life is worth more than an animal's life. If I ever find myself in some contrived scenario where I can save a bus full of people or a bus full of cute fuzzy puppies, I'm saving the people, with zero hesitation or regret. Even if bus A only has a single person and bus B has like a thousand puppies.

This doesn't mean that I think animals lives' are worthless. (My vet bills the past few months are sad evidence of that.) We should do what we can for them, and cooperate with our non-human companions on Planet Earth when we can. But part of being a living thing is also competition, including competition for the most precious resource — the calories locked up in our bodies.
