Incorrect.

If you don't have to provide POSIX thread semantics, then a user space thread can be much smaller than a OS thread; for example, an Erlang process can be as small as 1.2 KB [1], and a thread in GHC's runtime can be even smaller than that [2, section 4].

With both of these, the programmer writes synchronous code that blocks on IO, and the runtime is responsible for turning that into async IO operations at the OS level.

> That wouldn't be the right calculation. If a person has children, their children will contribute to future GDP

I think you're taking that in the wrong direction. The op was suggesting that the primary reason people work hard and create wealth is because they want to leave money for their children after they're dead, and that a redistributive estate tax would prevent that. Essentially: people are primarily motivated to create because of their children.
I thought it was misleading. I can actually turn the radio off on a computer, and didn't expect the smartphone behavior to differ.
There are scenarios where 2FA makes no sense for me. These are local password managers and SSH keys.

Rethink this again: If your ssh key is compromised then you have a problem overall. For my point of view there is no real security gain in 2FA ssh key logins because your private key itself is already a secret! Only thing which is important is to set a good passphrase for your ssh key.

However I can think of one exception of 2FA on top of ssh keys which might be useful: 2FA for gaining root access or sudo commands. This might be okay but the attack vector in this scenario would be that someone can see your keystrokes or clipboard (then they most likely also have your ssh private key if they can do that).
> It takes fifty lines to create a dialogue with a button. Why?

Because it isn't just a dialog with a button. You need to specify the element positions, resize behaviours, tool tips, separators, element selection, animations etc. The deeper you dig into UI design the more you see the "bloat" being justified.
And this is why I fucking quit my last job.

The big difference is that in Chinese, the written form of the poem is clear and unambiguous (if not terribly sensible), whereas in English that makes no sense without a detailed explanation of how you're supposed to parse it.
It doesn't sound like the inheritance is the problem but the concentrstion of power. A simple and fair solution would be to not allow a single person to inherit more than 50% of the wealth of their parent! Therefore every generation splits the wealth among two or more people which leads to a reduction in wealth concentration.
There is a phrase "tyranny of the majority" designed for this specific purpose. Taking the argument to its logical conclusion, sure. I want representation in government for minorities who don't have the population to justify it. How to do that is interesting :)
Not when it comes to real estate. There are no Federal laws that restrict real estate usage and zoning. Those are local laws at the city, county, and state level. There are some states that don't have an income tax. And mortgage interest deductions are a nice perk but they're not a fundamental factor in supply dynamics. And supply is the primary reason there's an affordability problem in certain cities. Those cities have to end the NIMBY-ism.

This is a funny word. I use it often and I'm finding "extra" difficult to explain.

My best take is that you take the general expectation or main thing about a situation -- Then when something is "extra," the magnitude of the expectation or thing is large. But usually there's an unusual spin involved too, only very slightly.

Example: My fiancee's makeup is extra. Makeup is typically accenting beauty and lightly applied, so when it's extra, it's overwhelmingly pretty and heavily applied.

In this context, Hacker News is known for mostly serious discussion and polite chains of building thoughts. The users are extra today by being dramatically serious and having impolite chains of volatile thoughts, or maybe even chains of echochambering.

This has a lot to do with the demographics of Hollywood. The generations that grew up with D&D now are at the helms of the mainstream content factory, and have turned it into a respectable activity. After all, pen&paper RPGs promote storywriting, storytelling, general creativity, and acting — all valuable key skills in Tinseltown.
Education and development are essentially the most 'durable' of goods - it cannot be stolen once taken - only damaged or destroyed by killing the bearer. In the past nutrition also played a similar role where better nourished aristocrats would have a concrete advantage over peasants.

With no cataclysms to prove their ability to rebuild if needed, wealth's ability to self perpetuate means ascribing it to stability makes sense. Since they would remain wealthy as both with and without the 'virtues' (in the sense of self-promotion as opposed to morality) its presence is irrelevant. All they need to do is avoid doing anything extraordinarily stupid and wasteful.
> The majority of smartphone users in the world may not have Netflix on their phones, but the majority of Americans - the largest market by value - do.

Maybe Americans are the largest market by value. Are they larger than the sum of all other markets, though? Will they be in 5 years? What about 10?

Regarding WhatsApp and Facebook, let's just remind ourselves they did not exist ~10 years ago. Any argument based on their size should only serve to remind us that such a dramatic change is possible over a period of 10 years.
OP here, lots of reasons. I reviewed a book called "Node Security".

- The level of technical quality of the book was not what I would expect for ~$40.

- I was arguably naive and under qualified (although probably qualified enough for the level the book ended up being), having some Node and some security experience.

- The author was probably more naive and no more qualified, having no security experience.

- The book ended up becoming a list of tutorials about how to use certain libraries for authentication/etc in Node apps.

- My main feedback was that I felt an additional last chapter should be added, that showed how to deploy a node app behind Nginx with a basic security setup in production. I felt this was in-line with the very (in my opinion overly) practical nature of the book, I also felt that "deploy behind Nginx" or something along those lines was one of the most obvious things to do in terms of security, and a real quick win. They made it clear that adding a chapter, however short, was out of the question.

- Really the only thing I was encouraged to do was to test the code examples to make sure they worked. I did find a security vulnerability in one of them, and that was fixed, but that was probably the most meaningful change I had an impact on.

>”string” and “list” far outweigh “dictionary” and “object”

“Dictionary” probably loses a ton of hits by the split with “dict”. And “object” is basically a dead word in python now.

Plus, string and lists are typically hit by newcomers before they are taught dictionaries and classes. A lot of SO questions come from homework.
ehcache

Worst. Palindrome. Ever.
This is definitely the proximate reason.

The reason for that choice is because the object is mutable.
I was excited to try darwinmail when I saw that keyboard shortcuts were front-and-center on the UI, anticipating a dev-centric tool for people who understand the efficiency of not having to use the mouse.

But then I used the app, and found that all the keyboard shortcuts were different :(

There was discussion on HN regarding the ability to customize them, but I think even more important is an option to "Use defailt GMail keyboard shortcuts"

Callbacks are often not the best approach. How about "inverting" the control by having a function which first collects all the elements to act on and then acts on them? This should prevent problems with cache misses since you perform only one kind of thing (on all elements) at a time. Where this kind of reordering is possible.

(The callback approach is OOP I would say. And as always, OOP prevents us from seeing the better way to structure processing).
your bug report / feedback form requires the creation of an account. many people who just tried the service and found a deal-breaking problem would give the feedback anonymously, but aren't going to want to create a new account just to provide feedback to a service they won't ever use again.

There are issues with anonymous forms, but consider the consequences of requiring an account/email.

Very true, I see that the higher one goes with the increasing requirement of greater influence radius turns into politics.

However what I have noticed recently is that title inflation has arrived to big companies too; mostly to increase retention. So, when I mention played their cards right, I wasn’t referring on how they leverage the soft skills, etc. It was more on individual ability to do salary negotiation each perf review, bluffing/threatening to leave, etc.

At the end of the day I guess it is good for them and everyone who is in those markets. But again, my main point was around title inflation is not exclusive to startups, although director level and above seems still to be hard to get in FAANG (at least in the companies I worked for those require board approval) while in startups they are given more freely.
This is an entire new element to the discussion ofc.

In the current capatalistic world, I'd say: wait 10 years. Which pretty much sucks as an answer for you.

In Belgium, we have Wallonia. 4/5th of the country is a forest and Durbuy is getting an upgrade ( adventure, hotels,.. - lot of nature there). A lot of cities are banning the top polluting cars. I'm not sure if that information is helpful. Just a suggestion and some information to show progress.

Ps. Removing sigarettes from a restaurant is feasible and already done (BE). It's not a possible economic disaster as removing traditional cars.

Ouch. You just made me wonder if Widelands (Settlers II clone) still exists, since I hadn't looked at it in what feels like at least a decade. It seems like it does, but development happens at a snail's pace:

The tracking doesn't bother me as much as the individualization of data-mining does. The use of collected data to run unexplainable AI systems which can do things from determine how the courts treat me, to what is recommended to me, is the real threat.

The problem with blackmail is it almost never happens - i.e. the profitable digital blackmail is cryptolocker. But the real negative to your life is the unaccountable compiling and production of data products which can be used to try and describe your life to others - credit ratings being mapped to internet activity or insurance rates, or digital dossiers being sold to companies to screen new hires in combination with some blackbox "risk" AI system - or surveillance cameras running people in-real time through a profiler which then re-deploys police units on the go.

The risk is...not dramatic? I think is what I want to say. It's mundane - so mundane that its been creeping up on us for decades and is very gradually attacking people all because individually it all sounds reasonable.
I'm not sure how useful DL is for optimization, but other techniques such as Genetic Algorithms or Simulated Annealing would make more sense, I think.

Is it though? In the US, I think, it’s far easier for someone to make a billion dollars, and thus be able to buy a bunch of land or whatnot, than it is for a president or major politician to be elected with a clear enough vision to do something.

I base this on the number of new billionaires vs the number of major new political initiatives.

I think it’s quite easy to have a vision, but very difficult to filter those through the will of the people. In the sense that a great vision is very subjective and may not be believed by the large number of people necessary to change things in a constitutional republic.
Well the thing is they are absurdly fine electronics. It is trivial to reroute so that the switch applies to the LED and not the camera itself (and some other trickery based upon reading its state while keeping it covertly operational). Said lie could still be detected in other ways of course but it wouldn't be a simple and complete fix.
Say I die and the state wants to decide what to do with my million-acre farm.

They either have to give it to one person, split it up amongst multiple people, or run it themselves. If they do the first, the headline is unaffected, if they do the last, the headline becomes "half of England is owned by the state".

That leaves splitting it up. But splitting up a farm in a useful way is not always trivial. And if you split one farm into three, how do you choose which three people should inherit these tremendous blocks of land?

It seems almost like we have a simple choice between socialism on one side and pronounced inequality in land ownership on the other, when it comes to large-scale agriculture.

Was the French revolution not a real one?
I'm not familiar with anhedonia as a formal diagnosis.

But I am familiar with depression, of which "inability to feel joy" is commonly regarded as a primary symptom.

Depression is common for people in their early 20s or even earlier, so it's possible to have that at your age.

The fact that you used to seek the activities you mentioned but no longer do, could be a response to the frustration of not having access to them, so your mind has switched off the desire, in order to numb you to that pain.

The mind has all kinds of ways of adapting to your circumstances in order to make life bearable through unpleasant experiences.

In the short term, you may need to seek professional treatment for depression. If your condition continues to decline, you might be in danger, so you should investigate whether therapy and/or medication or other treatment may be necessary.

Beyond that, you could benefit from some work to develop good strategies for getting good outcomes in social situations - e.g., overcoming self-consciousness, learning good conversational skills, getting better at showing sincere interest in people and being kind/generous.

I've been through the kinds of experiences you've described, and I understand how bleak it can feel.

But please trust that there are all kinds of things you can do to get to a better place, to develop a healthy and well-functioning social live, and to build a life you truly enjoy.

Feel free to email me if you're in further need of suggestions (address in profile).

Please know that you are loved and valued.

All the very best to you.

The use of such a vague and overloaded term as "anomaly" is deceptive.

The purpose of communication is to inform the audience, and rather than clarify what happened, this statement obscures the truth to the public.

The test capsule exploded. It means both SpaceX and Boeing have had test failures in the launch abort system for their respective human launch capsules. It will set back the timeline for the US to regain the ability to launch humans into space without paying for seats on the Soyuz.

Instead of discussing the event and its implications, the longest thread is now dedicated to excessive pedantry and incorrecting each other over textbook definitions of the word "anomaly".
