For one thing, despite their cool swords, I understand that the Samurai preferred to kill people with arrows when possible. They were all accoplished archers, including firing from horseback, which, as we all know from the Mongols, is a very effective way of defeating non-mounted foes.
I don’t know how this extension work, but I have no problem with that.

I just go to messenger.com and never visit fb.com. How does the extension work and why?
I seem to remember that in Europe its not unheard of for police to ask to see "papers please" and fancy that its often the darker citizens that get asked that.

It doesn't feel very declarative in Rust. Personally, I'm finding it hard to see the intent (I haven't written a line of Rust in my life, so take that with a pinch of salt, but I am a polyglot programmer).

Really, Haskell's do notation is the big winner when it comes to parser combinators, as the direction of the flow of the parser is easy to follow, but also you can capture variables mid-flight for use later in the expression without obvious nested scope blocks.

It's possible to capture variables with `and_then` by the looks of it, but any suitably complex parser will start to end up quite an ugly mess of nested scopes.

I ported Haskell's Parsec to C# [1], it has LINQ which is similar to Haskell's Do notation. Simple parsers [2] are beautifully declarative, and even complex ones, like this floating point number parser [3], are trivial to follow.

That’s a federation, like the USA or Switzerland. It doesn’t matter what type of government you have, it must protect its control over its laws, the federated system is a subset of those laws. So federated governments would take a similarly dim view if foreign entities tried to park and govern themselves in that federation’s border, the foreigners can’t just say, “hey you’ve got a new state in your border”.
Not really that's OTT hyperbole
Did you take into account that trees have died since the start of the industrial revolution, taking their carbon with them, and that new trees grew and are sequestering more carbon? I.e. if there were 200 GtC of trees and the average tree lived 100 years that is 400 GtC sequesters in 200 years. (I don't know exact figures.)
But you still need everyone else to cooperate. And in a multipolar world (or at least a world with some viable political blocs outside of the US led order) that will be difficult to say the least.
Thanks you’re right.

Even your "charitable" interpretation is obviously not charitable. "Yeah, you're not skilled at this" is not what people mean when they say "be yourself", unless by "this" you mean "emulate other people". Instead, what they mean is "You are naturally skilled enough at this thing, so stop doubting yourself and just stick with your natural skill/gut"
Be someone that you like and respect. Then be yourself.

The usual platitude skips all the hard prep work required for "be yourself" to actually be good advice.
Personally, I value honesty and a critical eye in my leaders. If those two things happen to reveal something negative about a workforce or a talent pool, is that a negative?

Ask HN: What is it like to work at public Snapchat?
A recruiter from Snap reached out to me today and I thought to myself "they must be desperate if they're interested in me". I applied in the past but was ignored, even though I had experience working on a heavily used component of their cloud infrastructure. It could be that I have an extra year of experience under my belt, but I don't think that's the primary reason here.

My guess is that Snapchat is no longer the hottest place to work at. Could you share your experience with pre and post IPO Snap?
Differentiation (of functions) is a product-preserving functor, which makes the Chain Rule the rule by which it respects function composition, which makes automatic differentiation a matter of writing out the syntax tree of functions and "folding it up" via a catamorphism (a generalized fold).

Yes, really. I wasn't making that up. Automatic differentiation is a page or two of code given enough categorical background.
Key Values (https://www.keyvalues.com) is a one-woman show (oh hi!). I started Key Values as a side project two years ago, but it quickly turned into my full-time passion and business. I'm doing ~$30k/month and it's almost all profit since I don't have an office or any employees. I recently talked to Courtland of Indie Hackers (already mentioned in the comments) about how I got here: https://www.indiehackers.com/podcast/086-lynne-tye-of-key-va...

I would never have started Key Values w/o Indie Hackers, so I highly recommend you spend some time there. It's a bottomless treasure chest of inspiration.

Makes sense. HR firms have known for decades it's a net negative. Note that this is generally within departments only, not within the entire organization.

> Williams and O’Reilly (1996) review dozens of studies showing that ethnic diversity has a negative impact on group performance. In the two decades since, more research has reinforced that result. Alesina and La Ferrara (2005) find that increasing ethnic diversity from 0 (only one ethnic group) to 1 (each individual is a different ethnicity) would reduce a country’s annual growth by 2 percent. Multiple studies (La Porta et al., 1999; Alesina et al., 2003; Habyarimana et al., 2007) have shown that ethnic diversity negatively affects public good provision. Stazyk et al. (2012) find that ethnic diversity reduces job satisfaction among government workers. Parrotta et al. (2014a) find that ethnic diversity is significantly and negatively correlated with firm productivity

You say the job is really easy, and your manager rates you a 4/7. Maybe you’re playing the game in easy mode? I.e. doing (well) what’s asked of you but not doing the implicitly expected (finishing tasks earlier than you said you would, writing a post on the company blog, volunteering for pager duty, whatever)

To be clear, it’s absolutely your manager’s job to set expectations and to walk you through the cultural norms of the company, but bad managers happen. Maybe it’s worth having a chat with some of your colleagues who’ve been in the company for a few months to understand how their integration went and see if they have some tips for you (assuming your manager isn’t more forthcoming on how to get a higher score).

This is also why the Jedi (at least in the earlier films) use two hands to hold their lightsabers. It's the Japanese style. Of course, Samurai swords were two-handed because they were heavy, due to the poor quality of steel available. A light saber "blade" would presumably weigh nothing, so it would make more sense to hold it one handed like a, well, saber.

A master of the more technologically advanced European saber would probably cut a Katana-wielding Samurai to ribbons. Good thing the Samurai would probably just shoot him from horseback anyway.

If it's not charitable, then at least it's usually correct. People giving the advice are generally unaware of what it's like to be naturally skilled at social interaction, and think it's just a matter or relaxing and enjoying yourself.

If they think "you're naturally skilled at this", they're usually mistaken.

My charitable version is what people would say if they could be honest and were aware of the relevant facts on the ground.

Under VFR what you say is true, under Instrument conditions the AoA indication is critically important. Once you’re in a cloud, you literally can’t tell which way is up without instruments and the AoA is an essential part.
This is discussed in the introductory chapter of "Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach"[1]. There are four schools of thought about building intelligent agents:

1. Thinking Rationally: Use logic

2. Thinking Humanly: Solve problems like humans would

3. Acting Rationally: Attempt to maximize performance

4. Acting Humanly: Turing test

I agree with their conclusion that rational agents are what we should design. Humans after all try to be rational agents and we still fail to be rational a lot of the time.

From the course description:

Category theory is a relatively new branch of mathematics that has transformed much of pure math research. The technical advance is that category theory provides a framework in which to organize formal systems and by which to translate between them, allowing one to transfer knowledge from one field to another. But this same organizational framework also has many compelling examples outside of pure math. In this course, we will give seven sketches on real-world applications of category theory.
My family also had Atari 400. Also had the cassette drive. I used it to program in BASIC. We got it with the Asteroids game and a joystick and that was a lot of fun.
FWIW, all the UK coverage of the grooming gang scandals refers to the perpetrators as Asian (they are mostly South Asian, and definitely not East Asian).
As a private pilot who has done a bit of aerobatics, I disagree. It still is a positive AoA. Using a negative would be in conflict with what you would mean when you mean.. well, a negative AoA, for example when people ask questions such as this one: https://aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/51477/do-negati...

I would use AoA in relation to the direction of flight, not the up or down orientation of the airplane. Even upside down I still fly quite normally (in straight & level upside-down flight), and the lift created is positive: Up/down in relation to the earth don't change, so the direction of lift does not change. In this context it would be a bit confusing to use negative numbers as you suggest, IMO.

However, since you can set your relative coordinate system and context however you like this is a topic we could discuss this ad infinitum without convincing one another if we insist on our respective PoVs. When faced with the linked question you would have some more explaining to do though, because there are negative AoA and no upside-down flight (now imagine adding that to the question to make it even more confusing...) :)

No one 'deserves' anything, but it's worth noting that it's not impossible to create fast-moving and nurturing environments, and maybe trying to learn how to do that for your peers.
Why design for 20 years when it’ll be unusable in 5? If anything we need more biodegradable parts, and bottles that last 10 years not 500 years.
It’s funny because contrary to the title it sounds like the author wasn’t being themself, but rather a persona they thought they should be. Another way of saying it is, “don’t be someone you’re not.”

I hope others with more experience will be able to chime in. I haven't gone through anything this severe, but I have paid a lot of attention to the problem of suffering. I found secular Buddhism to make a lot of sense to me. The main premises are that all suffering is rooted in our mind. We suffer when something happens that we don't want. We either lose something that we're attached to or we get something we want to avoid. I started paying more attention to this and found that every time I'm angry, sad, upset, frustrated or dissatisfied it's because my mind is unwilling to just accept the way things are in the moment. The buddhist path is a quest to change your mind in such a way that it does not cling to things that are not. The result is supposed to be happiness in yourself, independent of circumstances. I can't say that I've made much progress or gained a lot of experience. This is still new to me, but it makes a lot of sense to me.

Maybe it's something to look into foe yourself.

No, as long as you are pulling positive G's, your angle of attack is positive. It has nothing to do with pitch angle.

Edit: Oh you meant flying upside down, not doing a loop?

Yeah, negative AoA is not the same as positive AoA. It makes sense to distinguish them because, unless the wing uses a symmetric airfoil, it will behave differently in the two cases. Given that you also calculate the lift vector as a function of AoA, and for anything to make sense the lift vector is antiparallel in the two cases, the AoA would also be negative.

Pollution Hits the Fungi That Nourish European Trees (2018)
> we could be drastically overestimating

Would you mind explaining this bit? Besides [1], which hardly changes the big picture and came out literally last month, what evidence have you seen in the last couple decades of following climate change that suggest to you that the likelihood that we have been "drastically overestimating" the rate is anything comparable to the likelihood that we have been correct (if not underestimating)? From as far back as I can remember, the predictions have only stayed about the same or gotten more dire. They used to say weather patterns would get more intense, with more storms etc., and they indeed have. They say sea levels would rise and I really have no reason to believe they cannot calculate the rise correctly. I would think that if climate scientists had no idea what they're talking about, we could point to their erroneous predictions and prove them wrong?

Category theory is about making trivial things trivially trivial.
Great interview on indie hackers podcast. Always motivating to hear from the perspectives of people not trying to grow at all cost, following SV conventional wisdom etc, aiming for more lifestyle type businesses.
Clubman is so specific. This seems to be a pattern of many small, honest, successful software businesses: instead of trying to make a platform that will eat the world, they find a tiny niche that they understand, and hand-craft a solution that's perfectly tailored to it and meets people's real needs. It's inspiring. When software is too generic it becomes boring (and impossible to compete with as an entrepreneur).
Great find! Thanks.
> The overall goal of the Boring Company is to substantially decrease the cost, and increase the speed of building tunnels.

Good for it, but in the mean time a car tunnel would still have worse throughput than public transportation (less than two train's worth per day), rely on unproven technology (both for tunneling and moving the cars in a human-friendly way), and almost certainly not be financially viable (without massive subsidies).

Yes we need better public transportation, but there are well-established methods for effecting this. We just need to invest in them instead of Musk's poorly-conceived flamethrower company.

Obsolete is definitely a relative term. I'm from gen-x and there's plenty of systems out there older than me doing critical things. But it's still funny to see not much has changed on the marketing side of the tech industry.
It seems to me like being honest about your feelings and opinions is a good quality in managers I've worked with.
Seems to be the "Usable, Extendable, Efficient - pick two" scenario at its core. I remember very well a word processor on C64 (GeOS Writer I think?) that would use its own disk as swap to get around memory limits. I eventually bought a memory expansion just to get around this, which wasn't cheap in the slightest.

And that's just for text! It's stunning to me how inefficient text can be when every byte counts.
You can say "good job!" in response to mediocre work. You can say thanks for simple interactions that are just people acting as expected. You can build a culture where trust is both expected and repeatedly acknowledged.

I think there's a lot to be found in some of the business practices we've cast off, like firm handshakes and business cards - they matter as simple acknowledgements. Literally, just serving the same purpose as a TCP ack. "I'm still receiving you, go on".

Distributed systems rely on a lot of tradeoffs about how often you reconcile state and how much you expect the other parties to have successfully executed on what they say they have. Human relationships are a vastly more complicated distributed system than we've otherwise imagined.

I’m actually in your position, and I agree, sometimes what you really want is to know what you did wrong.

That said, imposter syndrome is a very real thing, and it’s felt disproportionately by women and minorities in tech — I think we should be cognizant that a lot of our colleagues have been told throughout their lives, implicitly or explicitly, that their work isn’t good enough, and so that positive affirmation can do a huge amount of good.
Is your position really that it’s unacceptable to refer to some subset of people who trace their recent ancestry to Asia as Asians? Do you think it’s unacceptable to refer to people of recent European ancestry as Europeans?
Where’s the $80B number coming from?

From the sources I found (from 2017) GDP per capita is $52,536 (from Open Data Network), and population is 393,292 (US Census Bureau), giving a GDP of right around $20B.

We’ve already spent 14 on it, and will continue to need to spend indefinitely, so the numbers really aren’t great.
Well, it's where I taught myself a good portion of my early programming skills. That's got some value.
If. That makes sense only when comparing very old hardware to new, and only because the new hardware is much more power-efficient. But it's not a good argument for perpetuating absurdly short hardware cycles like we have with phones (1-2 years).
Any data to backup that claim?

What you are saying maybe true for very high profile breaches - but for most firms, the "has a high degree of debt to income ratio" is a decent signal to decide if that person may have reasons to be vulnerable to bribery.
