Proto-Indo-European was fusional and pretty crazy on declensions, with plenty of cases for nouns and pronouns, verb aspects and moods, grammatical numbers (it had dual) etc. When you see the same in a European language, that's usually where it comes from, so it's not a coincidence. It seems that languages tend to shed that complexity over time, some (e.g. English) faster than others.

Why couldn't companies that actually produce cars just rent them out? I'd really like to have a mono-brand short-term rentals, but they just don't exist. Why is the case different for taxis?
Ask HN: What are open source, decentralized, social replacement applications?
Hello,

Following the last trends, I'm starting to be more independant from the "big players". I already got some VPS and domain name, and use docker to host an email server (because... well... docker is far easier to deploy... and even to migrate to another server).

I'm using whatsapp... but it looks like I may have to leave it soon. And I got no FB nor twitter (but I miss it).

So I'm looking for social alternatives, open source, decentralized, self-hosted replacements.

Until now, I found:

- Matrix/Riot to replace whatsapp/IRC
- Mastodon to replace twitter
- Diaspora (?) to replace FB

What do you think of these? Pros/Cons? Are the products "simple enough" and "strong enough" to ask to my non-geek friends to move on my server?

Or is there better, with more users, more stable alternatives ?

Thanks a lot for your advice and help! :-)
Thank you for adding this! Still, it is not so straight-forward to conclude, from just the premise that the system is effectively axiomatized (i.e., its theorems are recursively enumerable), that "does s prove S" is a recursive property.

In my opinion, if the assumption is that "proofs are computer checkable" (i.e., "does s prove S" is a recursive property, which is what is required in the paper), then it would be good to either state that as the key assumption, or state for example that this follows via Craig's theorem from the assumption that the system is effectively axiomatized:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig%27s_theorem

Interestingly, from this theorem it follows that such a system can be re-axiomatized so that "S is a theorem" is even a primitive recursive property. In fact, when Gödel wrote "rekursiv" around 1930, he meant the class of functions that we now call primitive recursive. Because of Craig's theorem, we know that primitive recursive, recursive, and recursively enumerable can be used interchangeably in the definition of effective axiomatization, but without such a theorem, it would be a leap to conclude one from the other.
Some good tips there. The `When` extension method is really nice:

`app.When(env.IsDevelopment(), app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage)`.
Can't agree more with your second comment.

Which of the following two alternatives would be better?
- Avoiding whenever possible to use explicit recursion, and call functions like map, reduce or filter.
- Change the recursion primitives. Like, limiting the recursion primitive to allow only total functions.

Or...?

tl;dr because the ISS orbit is not equatorial, choosing the right launch time is non-trivial and solutions are only approximate.

ISS launch windows are complicated - you have to match both plane (i.e. the Earth needs to turn so that the Cape/Baikonur is under the ISS's orbit path) and phase (i.e. at the time the plane match happens, the station needs to be at the right part of its orbit for the spacecraft to meet the ISS right after launch).

A launch site crosses the plane of the ISS orbit twice a day, but the phase angle at those crossings is often quite far off of optimal - you want the ISS to be a bit behind at launch so that by the time your spacecraft gets up to the right altitude/speed it's matched up. So you have to find the minimum phase angle at launch window for a targeted several weeks or so, then have the ISS make slight orbit changes to bring the phase angle closer to optimal. Once you're up and have as low of a phase-angle difference as possibly, you then have to spend a bunch of 90-ish-minute orbits getting your position in orbit matched up to the ISS.

At fastest, you can get down to the single-digit-hours range, but that takes a good selection of launch window, a bit of a burn in advance from the ISS to tweak its phasing, tracking systems that don't waste an orbit determining where exactly you are, and no scrubs.

This article is a good example of the process (but not the physics/geometry):
https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2018/07/progress-ms-09-super...

> The long sought attempt at launching a Russian Progress resupply vehicle to the International Space Station and having it rendezvous with the orbital complex after just two and a half orbits and just under 4 hours in space is being attempted.

...

> As with the other fast track rendezvous attempts, the reboost and phasing alignment of the Space Station with the Baikonur Cosmodrome is only available for this launch day. A scrub to today’s instantaneous launch of Progress MS-09 would have resulted in the craft having to fly a two-day, 36 orbit phasing profile to the ISS on a realigned launch date later this week.
As a user, I don't want your UI to "stand out". I want it to be consistent with everything else, so I don't have to re-learn what a button looks like. For me at least, attempts to do "branding" in this manner backfire big time - I'll recognize the brand alright, but now I have a strong negative association with it.
I mean it as in its definition, which has nothing to do with how someone entertains themself.
Schools probably don’t have the staff but I think that’s a good idea. Or remove the kid from one class per day (rotating) and have them talk to counselors.

The problem with recursion tends to be a O(N) stack/memory explosion. Accidental non-termination happens too, but it can happen just as easily with procedural loops.
They have design and feel figured out. Somehow the rest of the world mostly doesn't produce cars with as nice interior and exterior design or that are as fun to drive.
One of then side effects of the rise of identity politics is an explosion in victim complexes. It's just a bit of a race to the bottom effect where one group will argue X thing doesn't mean they're victims because their group are victims in Y way. There are just so many victims these days that victimhood doesn't even serve actual victims. The supply of victims outstrips the demand.

Stoicism is so starkly opposed to victimhood and complaining that it comes as a breath of fresh air.
If they're trying to find dirt on the teacher then the teacher could get in trouble too. Future teachers will be particularly vulnerable to this because they grew up with half their life being shared on social media.

I don't really understand what is it about that makes RDBMS schema changes particularly harder in people's minds. All schema changes to your data can be hard or easy depending on what you do, regardless of whether that schema is implicit in the application or enforced by a database.

If the schema change is additive, it's usually easy. On the other hand, if you drop data items that older versions of applications expect, or change the semantics of existing data, you will need to proceed carefully. Whether you're using a relational database or something else doesn't really matter.

The tool you use to execute those changes doesn't really matter either if your data model changes at the whim of the developers without actual planning behind it to deal with the impact on upgrades it will have.
They missed out on antidisestablishmentarianism?
Good catch. The phrase does indeed suggest a metaphorical treasure chest, filled with riches that we can reap if we only just use the key that the author promotes.

The thought-terminating cliche "Money Out of Nowhere" reinforces that deception, as though the title was drawn from the self-help or the MLM industry.

Finally, the website name: "Above the crowd". Yuck.

I had the same concerns and held off until Wheezy LTS ran out.

I had some reservations about what seemed to be an "angry" fork and its longevity, but so far, Devuan's been up to date, and last I heard most of the acrimony has dissipated up to the point where Devuan was about to get involved in the sysvinit maintenance of Debian itself.

So I don't know about the real long-term, but it appears they are serious about producing and keeping up a distribution.
From their website (unfortunately in German):

Keine Bonitätsprüfung, kein Adressnachweis.

Which translates to: "No check of credit worthiness, no ID verification". So either it's different in some countries or it's false advertising. Either way. Banks are the one thing I'm scared of getting the Silicon Valley treatment.
> Start out making $100k out of college. Get a 10% raise per year. Save half of everything you make over that initial $100k—like pretending you only got a 5% raise.

Do the math, it doesn't work. Starting with $100k at 20, with 5% raises every year gets you to $430k/yr at 50. You're still nowhere near $10M.

They don’t reach the stations orbital velocity immediately after launch though. What they do is launch into a lower orbit behind the station. Lower orbits have a shorter orbital period, so they gradually catch up and raise their orbit as they get closer.

If the went into a ballistic trajectory directly at the station, there is a risk of debris from the launch, such as paint flecks, scraps of metal, etc hitting the station. Also a lower initial target orbit makes various abort scenarios easier. Then of course another poster has pointed out they need time to check and validate all the vehicles systems.

Generally in space it’s best to avoid doing anything in a rush if you can avoid it. In recent years the Russians moved to a 6 hour launch to rendezvous window which is pretty quick really. This is what made it possible to capture footage of the launch from the station.

Alembic is an amazing db migration tool imo. I only use it in small-scale (80(?) tables, 2 developers), but it's so amazingly hackable by design.
I think the turning point might be regionally dependent. I know that social media was already popular before 2008. It simply wasn't Facebook, but other sites such as MySpace, Orkut etc.
While there are probably horrible bureaucratic structures in Germany's car industry, I think this comment isn't quite fair.

Mercedes and BMW are still very nice to drive in. The issue is more that German's generally don't believe in fads, and self-driving cars are one of them.

I just don't want a self driving car, which takes away the last bit of fun of sitting in a metal box: Being in charge of where the damn box goes.

Germans just have a higher bar for "innovation": It has to be useful.
Because they believe in dogfooding their software. So developers run it on their desktops, as well as on their servers.

In an RDMS, a change in schema is hard because changing one table can affect many others. In a NOSQL database, there are far fewer connections between tables (or "objects"). There is less to wrap your head around.

I started with Gimp and then moved on to other programs. I was actually mad when Gimp 2.x came out, as it changed the UI and most importantly all the keybindings in incompatible ways.

It looks like a Geocities website, but it has a GDPR statement, impressive. I'm usually into the aesthetic but my eyes have no idea where to look in this case! Very maximalist.

I like that I feel like I'm getting an idea of the personality behind the site.

Complexity as Lubricant
If you want to make the kids that are bullied be even more cut off from society then taking phones away is a good idea. If you're being bullied then people won't interact with you. At least if you have a phone you could interact with people outside of the circle of people directly around you. It's not like you can choose who you go to school with.
Why is it hard? Most of changes are atomical and either in background or instant. What change require downtime? I would argue that software change without downtime is harder and basically not solved problem for most environments unless you're using cluster of machines.

For people who are a little afraid of the word deep learning:

It is not very difficult, in fact it is a borderline easy concept. So, do not be afraid in case you are. The mathematics behind deep learning is a little complicated but not much.

But if you just want to have a working knowledge then its quite approachable even for beginners and you do not need to learn the mathematics at all. In fact even the professionals rarely worry about the mathematics (they should though).
All you're doing is hiding the problem. It doesn't make a difference for the kid being bullied.

* Now: "Tristan O’Tierney, cofounder of Square, died last weekend"

And for all his work, his death barely gets commemorated here.

I do absolutely agree on Maps. The first maps website was an interactive map that was blazing fast and you could search.

The current version of maps is slow, buggy on anything bug chrome, jarringly slow and almost hides the map in some situations.
No. The small audience was good enough. Hell, sometimes there isn't any audience when bullies bully people and they do it anyway. And the kid that's being bullied is still an outcast in school, meaning that they don't have friends. At least if they have a phone it's possible that they might get positive interaction from people online since they don't get any from their physical surroundings.
- Self-driving cars will still not be commonplace

- Moore's law is already dead, but in 10 years the implications of that will be fully realized

- Global warming won't be curtailed, rich countries will learn to cope with extreme weather patterns, people from poor countries will emigrate

- Cancer treatment will improve dramatically for a large variety of relatively niche cancers, but there still won't be a common cure

- Humans will still not go to Mars

- Soft AI will become prevalent for many low-level automation tasks, but general AI will stay in science fiction

- there will be significant headway made in resolving general relativity and quantum mechanics, likely by finding more situations where they disagree but not resolving those discrepancies

- We'll find exoplanets likely suitable for life, but too far away to reach them.

- Fusion power will just be "10 years away"

To get to the level of world class competitiveness i'd say it's true. if you want to compete with say instagram then android is such a PITA to design for.

It's directly contradictory to their goal, since the goal is trying to answer well-defined questions.

Same rule here!

My prime objective is to be able to go on vacation without any call of emergency, but the point is I showed that I was not necessary when I was ill and not at work for a month.

Two weeks after my return, the up management shows me the door...

Nevertheless, I think it is my best move to make my own position useless. I need peace of mind in vacation, I need autonomous coworkers, I need challenging problems to solve, and more, my whole team is happier that way.

The up management did not understand that... too bad for them.
Yeah, I specifically avoid using Atlassian as much as I can because of how tedious it is to wait ~6 seconds for every UI action to complete.
The list does not describe why they are the best books, except for a very short blurb. We read the Deep Learning book by Goodfellow, Bengio, and Courville in our reading group when it came out. Even though it contains useful information, it is written in a very haphazard fashion. It is also very unclear what its target audience is. Some sections start as a foundational description, to suddenly change into something that is only for readers with a strong maths background. No one in the reading group was enthusiastic about the book and most actively recommend against it (some called it 'the deep learning book for people who already know deep learning').

The highest-rated Amazon reviews seem to have come to the same conclusion:
https://www.amazon.com/Deep-Learning-Adaptive-Computation-Ma...

Put differently, a list such as the linked one may attract a lot of visitors. But without critical, in-depth reviews it is not very useful and might set potential learners on the wrong path.

But libressl breaks ABI compatibility (see that BSD is taking a step backward).

OpenSSL is affected by what we can call "fame". It's the mostly wide used security library in the whole internet and it's the favourite target for hackers. For comparison, it's the same that happens to OS: windows and android are the preferred target platforms because of the large user base they have.
