So does this mean they're okay with all of the 'Chinatown' districts in the places that aren't China (i.e. scattered all over the globe in most of the larger cities) to the single foreign restaurant in the small village somewhere all having to adopt the local language/alphabet - no pictures of dragons or bamboo etc. etc? Or would they perhaps take offense at that?
Especially when addressing multiple recipients, I tend to write emails like:

> Hello,

> Short version: all-hands meeting to discuss painting of the bike shed, Thu 1 Aug @ 14:30 in the board room. There will be cookies.

> Long version:

> <more details>

I also tend to first jot down a draft of the "long version", then edit it for clarity and brevity, then write the "short version" last.

Edit: I find HN formatting weird sometimes.

Who is arguing that this is a human right?

Let's change context. You go to a restaurant because it is advertising free meal opening night. You go, you eat, you have a good time. When you stand up to leave you are informed that in order to leave you have to pay the door tax.

A restaurant like that would be sued for false advertising. How is willfully gathering data about yourself only to be extorted money to access that data later on any different?

It’s not about making a profit. Everyone wants to atleast cover their costs (including their own time). And personally I like money. I like having it and I like spending it. So I’m not going to bitch at anyone for seeking a profit.

My objection to the current wording is that it comes across as the server costs are though the roof. As a static site with a little thinking it can be heavily cached both online and on device, “New” apps could be generated offline and uploaded or auto generated using a server less (I still hate that term) back-end, knocking down that $7 per month to pennies per month. To the point where the domain name is the most expensive part of the site. Heck I can think of ways to use GitHub pages to run the site and get those server costs down to $0p/m.

But for me personally that can countered by simply remove the word server (Anyone who really knows the term “server” will have an idea of the cost). Removing the ref to their overheads removes that from you thought process when deciding on if dropping a few bucks is a good value. For me personally the message feels like they are struggling to cover their overheads when I know they will be small (To the point where personally I would run it for the shits and giggles of it). If they are even struggling to cover server costs the owners of the site won't be motivated to maintain the site.

Infact remove the word “costs”. When we walk into a supermarket we don’t think of the stores costs when we are purchasing things. By removing the wording I wouldn't be thinking about their server costs and thinking about it as more like dropping the creators a few bucks.

IMO being honest and a little bit cheeky can get you a long way. So personally I would word it like “Hey, want to see the number of times you have opened this app? Well for the low price of a cup of coffee instead of this Annoying message that is exactly what you see. Click here...”

But that's just my own opinion on the matter.

The operation beyond exponentiation is known as tetration: towers of exponentials. It's not associative, and therefore it's difficult to work with and hasn't received much interest from the mathematical community at large.

This might sound harsh, but unfortunately it does tend to attract 'cranks'. I think the reason for this is that there's a clear pattern (as you picked up on), that doesn't require formal mathematical training to spot. Amateurs get excited about the prospect of discovering something `new', without realising how hard it is to say anything deep about the topic.
> I'm learning category theory to understand haskell better.

I would consider myself a fairly expert Haskell programmer and I have (for fun/curiousity) spend some time reading up on/studying category theory and I can say, without a doubt or hesitation that if your goal is to either 1) understand Haskell better and/or 2) become better at writing Haskell, then studying category is a MAJOR waste of your time. I would advise you to spend that time instead on reading up on the lambda calculus, type theory, and some basic algebra (like this post).

Haskell is not/has never been based on category theory (and I keep being baffled by how many people on social media will claim that it is, given how well documented it's origins are) and the common terminology of Functor/Monad that have been pilfered from CT via Wadler have only a passing resemblance/relation to their CT friends.

Some things that I instead would recommend reading up on are:
- Type theory (Benjamin Pierce's "Types and Programming Languages" is the de facto introduction to this. It covers everything from untyped lambda calculus to things way more complex than standard Haskell, including example implementations of type checker, etc.)
- Computer assisted proofs/formal verification of programs (the Software Foundations book series, co-authored by Pierce are a good (and free!) intro: https://softwarefoundations.cis.upenn.edu/)
- The Spineless Tagless G-machine (if you are a more low level/C minded person, this talks about how we compile a lazy functiona language like Haskell to an Intel CPU: http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.53.37...)
- The Typeclassopedia (which talks about how various CT inspired classes relate to each other and their laws: https://wiki.haskell.org/Typeclassopedia)

EDIT: All of the above is not to say that you shouldn't learn category theory, but that you should have realistic reasons/expectations (even if that reason is just "I'm curious and it's cool"). I just hate seeing people get burned out trying to "get" category theory and (as a result) deciding Haskell must not be for them...
Putting a word in boldface is even more offensive than writing it in ALL CAPS. If you are doing it more than once per year, you are doing it wrong.
Part of the TMT agreement (from 2015) involved removing some of the telescopes[0]. At least one telescope has been removed (the Caltech Submillimter Observatory, CSO) but aside from the CSO I'm not sure what the status is of other removals. The agreement was that:

> three or four of the mountain’s 13 existing telescopes must be dismantled over the next decade.

This implies the currently agreed upon limit is 10 or 11 telescopes (including the TMT). Unless the agreement has changed, I don't think the promise has been broken since the removal was over the 2015-2025 timescale. That being said, I'm unaware if there was a previous deal.

There had been some controversy in the past regarding "outrigger" telescopes for the 10m Keck telescopes. These would have been used in combination with the 10m telescopes to do interferometry. It was argued that they were thus not "new" telescopes, but rather additions to the existing Keck telescopes. This was controversial and they were never built.

This is absolutely the case for Germany yeah. We only take credits out for cars and houses mostly. Taking out a credit for common or ordinary items is very uncommon and looked down upon. It "shows" that the person can't handle money well or lives above their means.
Missing a point here. GHG _over_time_ drastically adds more net energy to the earth system than is is used to create or capture them. This because they are opaque to infrared radiation that would otherwise be escaping from the earth system.

So, GHG net heating effect is proportional to the amount of heat escape they block for as long as they remain in the atmosphere.

Take a look at a CC application and see where the information on going to a CRA is. I just went to a random online store and started a CC application. Down in the legal section, right in the first couple of sections, clearly visible:

"Credit Reports: You agree that we have a right to obtain a credit report in connection with our review of your application and after we establish an account, to administer the account. You agree that we may report to others our credit experience with you. At your request we will provide the name and address of each consumer-reporting agency from which we obtained a report about you."

Was it plastered across the very top of the form in bold type? No. Was it "buried in pages of small print legalese"? No.

A few places come to mind:

- Kusatsu Onsen (basically an onsen with the hot-watersource in the centre of the town)

- Hiroshima, I cannot stress how nice this city is.

- Arima Onsen (another onsen resort, the oldest of Japan)

- Nikko (the most lavishly decorated temples combined with mountains, touge, a beautiful lake and one of the highest waterfalls in the country)

Nikko is my absolute favorite place in all of Japan. I highly recommend it.
It's undoubtedly aimed at musical audio generation and signal processing. A quick search will reveal the number of gotchas in implementing even a simple alias-free (bandlimited interpolation) digital sawtooth wave, never mind arbitrary wave tables. The rebirth of analog audio synths was partially driven by the complex behaviors of real analog circuitry - particularly when you account for saturation, hysteresis and other "imperfections" that don't occur naturally in a digital simulation.
Hi, OP here.

I'd like to explain the question a little bit. In our team, we are trying to create something we call "codebase knowledge". It's anything related to our code and technological solution that is important to know through the team. For example specific algorithms we're using and why, platform-specific decisions and caveats, or just simple explanation of how some internal API works.

I wonder, do you keep the same knowledge in your team? If so, where do you keep it and what software do you use?

Our problem is that currently, this knowledge is spread across Google Docs, Slack, readmes, code comments, or sometimes it's just vocal...

How do you solve this issue?

No, it doesn't, not sure where you live, but I see low-calorie soda drinks in every supermarket I visit. You also, believe it, or not, are free to not buy any soda at all, in the same way you may decide not to put any sugar in your coffee. Probably, it's true to say that majority of buyers still prefer sugary sodas, because simply put people like sweet tastes a lot. Logically, it means that forced unavailability of sodas will be compensated by other means, including oversweetened coffee, chocolates etc. and I'm just asking where this I-save-you-whether-you-like-it-or-not zeal will end: would you regulate a number of grams of sugar allowed to buy per day as the next logical step?
Even the difference between ~16ms and ~33ms is noticeable to most people for the "click to see result" perception loop -- that's the difference between 60fps and 30fps.

100ms is a glacially slow reaction time in comparison, and it's a bit sad that most of the tech industry is setting their performance goals so low.

(In fairness, I suspect most people wouldn't be able to verbally express why the 16ms feels better to them than the 33ms, but would subconsciously notice the difference.)

According to the numbers of the post above, if they allocate more than 20% of their R&D budget to process improvements and more than 10% to their architecture improvements, they match or exceed their two rivals, leaving 70% to be allocated to other tracks, which I find rather excessive all things considered.

I remember a comment I made a long time ago, in the beginning of the Browser Wars: Microsoft had more people assigned to design their icons than NetScape had employees. NetScape's fate was sealed from the get go and their resilience was commendable.

And yet, in the end, Microsoft still lost that war.

I don't know for certain the specific case you are referring to, but it sounds like the Submillimetre Array (SMA). The issue was that SMA was being counted as one telescope (from a functional point of view, it is), but it has 8 antennas.

I believe some telescopes have been removed to make way for TMT. The Caltech Submillimetre Observatory (CSO) for one.

Strange, I thought it's infested with know-it-all socialists.
I'm also European and I know, within my own country, one group of people who would fin it completely normal to buy TVs and furniture on credit and another group that wouldn't. The former is low income and the latter is high income.

People in low income communities find it very normal to buy on credit, often allowing you to buy now, pay in a year. My friends from higher income communities think this is a strange thing to do.

What I'm trying to say is that some of these customs might not depend on country, but even on groups within countries.

On a related note, I've personally noticed that here in the Netherlands, there's a pretty clear split between low income and high income, very tightly connected with education. In 'High School', lower and higher education are split in different classes and often different schools. So friendships are often formed within these groups and not across them (sports begin the exception). Because of this, a lot of people think something is normal in the Netherlands, but it's actually normal in their environment.

But he should be working on getting it into people's hands, instead of creating new tech.

Seeing this leads me to believe that zerotier wants to do this whole global network thing. This is not what I want from zt.

This probably came from questions like "how can we trust you as a network controller". And the answer is to create some tech. But in that case, why not simply offer an AMI on aws for a controller?

All assumptions of course. Upon further checking:

From https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20329060 and https://www.zerotier.com/lf-announcement/ :

> We are going to use it to fully decentralize ZeroTier and for some specific enterprise customer projects, but others can use it for other stuff.

> Our interest in decentralizing the roots wasn’t just philosophical. Over the years we had numerous requests by policy-bound or very (justifiably) paranoid customers to run their own infrastructure that could be logically separated from ours as much as possible

I dunno. I'll have to see what it turns into. But it surely explains the silence and lack of updates on zt/zt-one

But Consumers don't buy Mac any more. Most of them don't. It is either business, Software development, aka Professionals / Prosumers and Students. Most of the Consumers went or are going to iPad or Smartphones.

And this obviously screws the Sales Data a lot, Business like Fortune 500 doesn't care about the price tag much, they care about TCO / Total Cost of Ownership, and whether their employees are happy or more productive with their equipment. So business will continue to replace them every few years. And that is why these Enterprise business are so lucrative, they stick to the ecosystem for a long time and don't change very often.
