I was such a graduate. Stumbled into a project after my masters with no clue what the big picture was. But it turned out to be awesome. We were creating software that was planned to be developed and used by three universities. My professor's assistant had the vision, each of the three unis hired a guy just like me and we were supposed to design and implement everything. Turns out the other two had no clue about anything so I ended up doing pretty much everything while they were constantly busy doing random stuff for their bosses that had nothing to do with the project (very common thing as I learned over time).

It was such a great two years since I actually managed to finish the core functionality in a way that it was actually usable and not just a proof of concept good enough to make the ministry that funded the project happy.

I learned so so much during this time. I made a lot of mistakes, bad design decisions, but actually understood first hand why they were bad. There was minimal pressure from above, I was 99% running on intrinsic motivation. The professor didn't give a shit at all; he was really nice but I can't recall a single conversation with him about the project. His assistant had the final product in mind but since he was a mathematician with close to zero programming experience he gave me a lot of freedom, just made sure the overall direction I was heading was right, and giving valuable input regarding usability, stemming from years of experience of dealing with university staff. Oh yes, that also was a huge learning experience. Making sure professors and students from all the different faculties won't mess things up royally when interacting with some part of that system. What a little fool I was before that.

Maybe it's because it was the very first job I had, maybe because I was still a naive youngster living in a shared apartment not caring about money other than being able to pay rent and eat, but whenever I think back it still feels like the most enjoyable job I ever had.
A couple of points to keep in mind:

- After processing, leather doesn't rot. Thus it is a durable good, and stockpiles can build up

- Texas and other parts of the nation had massive droughts a few years back. This resulted in herd culling, which could have increased the supply of available hides at the time.
I don’t manually type the Unicode characters for any of that because I’m usually using TeX, where typing three dashes becomes an em dash and there are commands for Greek and other characters.

I use xetex for a little project, and while some of those character mappings are very convenient others are not. Vulgar fractions, for instance, work in some fonts but not others. For instance LTC Californian Pro has the unicode glyphs for the vulgar fractions, but xetex doesn't translate e.g. 3/8 to ⅜. Goudy Oldstyle is missing many vulgar fractions (e.g. ⅜), but the tex mappings work. Go figure.

Granted, fractions aren't mapped to keys in OSX, but I use plenty of those mappings on a regular basis including the bullet (•, ·), degree (°), accented characters (á, é, í, ó, ü, ö, ñ), currency characters (£, ¢, €), and the section character — §. I can get all of these with simple keystrokes and, best of all, zero fiddling with keybindings.
"CBP jurisdiction" is about as close to judicial activism as anything in this country. It's bunk and will be remembered in history as a blight on the US.

It's very telling that governments seek to abuse the rules they set forth, to deny citizens as much as possible. This idea that there is a 100-mile radius from the border, where constitutional rights just don't apply, is laughably authoritarian and will be expanded in the future. The history of human governments shows that absent very strong protections against the government, the citizenry will always lose in the end, whether it be loss of freedom, or loss of nation stability.
I find the opposite (and I've used Linux since 1997, plus several other unices starting from Sun OS).

Things tend to just work on the Mac, even though I use it for a wide variety of tasks (programming mainly, writing, music, and video secondarily, plus some photo work). Music and Video (DAWs and NLEs) are almost a joke in Linux.

You have to be cautious to buy compatible laptop hardware, and still there's always something not working on new setups, usually sleep, sound, GPU compositor, bluetooth, etc.

Alright, jokes aside, let's not get into "measuring dicks" and argue which one is better. I know Clojure, and I know some Haskell. I love both. They both have their strengths and weaknesses. To be honest - I always find things in one that I wish existed in another and vice versa.

But your simple dismissal of Clojure (even though seem to be an educated one) has no merits. Don't feel bitter because Clojure is growing in popularity (in relative terms) and Haskell seems stagnated. Haskell is an older language and has had its ups and downs, and I think it will be fine. Clojure as well - no matter how aggressively haskellers would evangelize against it, it will continue to grow steadily. Think of it as a gateway drug into Haskell. I know people who jumped that way, and I know people who went the other way - from Haskell to Clojure.

To me, it is like using headphones - some prefer wired ones, some people enjoy wireless, even though audio quality suffers, wireless gives them a lot of freedom and might be viewed as a "more practical choice." To that though, proponents of wired might say: "what if the battery dies?". It is an endless and quite pointless debate.
So let's concur: Haskell is great, and Clojure is fantastic too.

I think there are two schools of thought here: cyclists who say "we have every right to this road, the same as any car." And the upset drivers, who say "If you were in a car going this slow, I'd still be pissed off."

Me? I have a bike and a car in Seattle, but almost always walk or take public transit. It's low stress that way, which I like. At intersections, cars and cyclists both hassle pedestrians in their own way. The cars, because they are too accommodating and make you feel almost obliged to run across the street when they stop for you even though they could have easily kept going without coming close to you. And the cyclists, because a horrible minority of them are totally blind to pedestrians in a way that drivers in Seattle aren't. Most cyclists are fine, but you've got to stay on your toes for the few that aren't.

Because they’re doing the ketamine infusions really expensively.

Do the first infusion at a proper clinic, then send a travelling nurse to do it at a patient’s home. Putting in a peripheral line and mixing and running a bag is nursing 101.

Or do it at a nurse/operated infusion clinic to further reduce nursing time.

At least that’s how my jurisdiction does outpatient IV antibiotics, which are riskier than ketamine.

Dunno why MD supervision would be required for a ketamine infusion. The recipient is unlikely to crash or have an anaphylactic reaction. Maybe they could have a fall, but we don’t put doctors in bars or dangerous intersections.
This fits in well with the data that cheese consumption is linked with death by getting tangled in bedsheets.

Yep. I buy from dispensaries but I wish I could just buy it from a friend. Taxes are like 25%. The municipalities absolutely took advantage of weed smokers as a constituency with little political representation to cash in on legalization. It places a huge cost on operating legally. As someone once said, marijuana isn't fully legal in California until its as regulated as basil or oregano.
Economic insecurity is nothing to laugh at. I have economic security to some extent where I am living. I would have such security in a different way if we moved to my wife's culture despite being excluded from a lot of initial opportunities.

But the first time we moved back, I was unable to find a job and needed that assistance, which was then denied to me.

I don't see how it can be fixed. Both parties throw families like mine under the bus as easy ways to appease others. The only way I see is to try to start a very different approach to our national conversation and that is not going to come from our parties of capital (either one).
There are tons of examples of this. Basically any company with a real competitive advantage is very expensive to unseat once established. Try to unseat Amazon, Google, Facebook, or Apple with the capital that launched those companies.
Virtually nothing in this rant about German economic policy has anything to do with the article except for the expression of delight at the idea of individual Germans losing money.

Germany has absorbed a large number of refugees at huge social cost precisely because they believed they could afford it. It seems disingenuous to ignore Germany's role in overall European stability and suggest that the good German burghers hoard money in order to rape the rest of the continent with cheap Volkswagens.
What you're missing is that the EUR is not the reserve currency of the world and by running a massive deficit the markets will penalise you. (much higher yields, debt spiral, inflation etc.)

>The time investment goes down significantly over time. After a decade using linux on as a daily driver, I don't remember the last time I've tweak anything.

So, it gets stable after the first 4-5 years of tweaking. Doesn't that make the parent's point?

And after those 4-5 years, wont one have to get a new laptop at some point, upgrade to newer OS version, and adjust to whatever changes the FOSS projects like Gnome/KDE/etc did in the previous years all from the beginning?

>- making music as I'm not patient enough to relearn everything on a different platform but that's just laziness from my end

Just laziness? As if Linux has anything remotely as powerful/coherent as Live/Cubase/Logic/etc, Native Instruments, Arturia, and all the other VSTs?
> A single engine is quite bad for survivability.

True (not as bad as it once was), but is a lot cheaper over the life of the program. They were trying to get a next generation F-16 to go with the next generation F-15 (the F-22), and that didn't happen.

Yes. I mean, this is the goal of an inflation-forced financialized economy. The "low-to-middle-class" isn't supposed to be able to save - they're supposed to keep working.

The negative interest rate paradigm enjoys support on HN due to the upper-middle-class culture of saving into brokerage accounts holding fauxvestments, and the tech community being generally more in tune with whatever bubbles are currently building. Better access to the printing presses, and all.

The fundamental truth is that prices naturally trend downwards due to technological progress - competition wins out by doing more for less. Actively driving the economy via inflation only made sense before we learned how to make enough stuff. Now the policy is directly opposed to sustainability.
Outside of Tech, Japanese.

Really love watching Anime in my down time. In the past I have watched well over 100+ series in Dub. Recently I was frustrated waiting for Dub for some later series and newer ones.

Which lead me to watch Subs and I really dislike reading the text, especially when two characters are talking you have text on the top and bottom of the screen! Too much to read at once.

Finally many times there is hiragana, katakana and kanji written for effects or spec sheets and many times it's not translated. I felt like I was missing out on something.

So decided to learn the language. I'm having a blast learning it.

With tech, absolutely nothing. Too busy making stuff. That said, waiting for Vue 3 to launch and then get into learning all the new things with that and seeing what benefits can be brought to existing codebases. Can't wait really.

Fios and Spectrum in my area. The price is about half what coworkers pay less than 10 miles away where only one has built out. It's interesting that you think airlines aren't competitive. IMO, they're super competitive. New upstarts like Spirit don't show up everyday, but watch what happens to prices when a new market is opened up by Southwest, for example.

No one knows what percent of the economy can be truly competitive, but it's probably something like half. I'm hard pressed to find a single area of the economy that doesn't have competitive private entities.
Leather still is a durable and useful material, if properly cared for. Assuming its production as a by-product of the slaughterhouse, it could be considered more sustainable than plastic (it can biodegrade).

No, you cannot realistically learn Haskell in two weeks and jump into industrial Haskell codebase. I mean, it is not impossible - I just never heard such stories. If that was as easy as you think it is - Haskell would be much, much more popular. It is an amazing language. And probably the only point of criticism you can think of is exactly that: it takes quite some dedication and time to grok it.

I agree. I'm not talking about the average participant. I'm talking about the movement as a whole, as it organically develops and the most vocal participants become more prominent and define more of the movement. The core idea of the movement is sound and positive. However, I feel that bad actors have subverted the process from the top down. These so-called "investigations", that are so unbelievably tilted towards the accuser, have no appeals process. Some of these people even believe that due process itself should be eradicated in these cases, because we know that nobody will ever falsely accuse somebody.

The answer isn't to go back to the "old way", but the answer is also not to do what we are doing now. If even one innocent person is accused of assault, and is abandoned to the point where they commit suicide, then the ones who accused and "prosecuted" that person are fully responsible for their death. Perhaps felony murder should be expanded to such cases? It's already illegal to make a false police report, and it's arguable that certain classes of false reports should be legitimately considered felonies.

It's not a rant, it's a slightly tongue in cheek but also slightly serious, analysis of the political and economic reality of Germany and the EU.

He wrote his treatise on Algebra in Arabic because he was educated in Arabic and the language of science was Arabic in that area and at that time. AlNassirya in Baghdad was the most advanced educational institution in the world at the time. I don’t know if he was a student or teacher there but it also has an Arabic name and was built by an Islamic caliph. The same with mathematicians from India traveling all the way to Baghdad to tell the caliph about their invention of zero. Persians has many amazing contributions to science and math but Persia itself has none. Like the Romans, they were war mongers and Their culture was toxic to science.

> They want irrefutable proof.

You should have been able to provide irrefutable proof even without the $1.1M. Otherwise you just admitted having an unfounded supposition and pretending it's a fact. Again, 25 years is plenty of time to obtain irrefutable proof. I mean it's not rocket science.

Put a camera on your car (or even have a caravan of cars, harder to fake), live stream the video including a GPS, driving along the known route and filming the mile markers until you get to the vast empty field that is that town. Get people on reddit or something to decide at every step which speed to have, if you should flip the wipers, this kind of thing that proves you're live. You can rent a helicopter, I mean $1.1M will cover a lot of expenses.

And once you have irrefutable proof other people will just claim everyone and everything in there is part of your conspiracy setup. I mean that's the go-to explanation for any conspiracy theorist whenever they are presented with any proof, no matter how solid. So if it works for you it should also work against :).

> They'll claim they proved their existence. It does no such thing

You are correct. This will not prove its existence. It will prove that nobody can provide evidence to support the conspiracy theory even after having 25 years to collect it and $1.1M to motivate them to present it.

> they'll only post entries online they find amusing

Of course. The other entries don't exist. And they'll show you irrefutable proof of that only if you offer a prize.

After writing my own honeypot to get up to speed with some SSH details and satisfy curiosity I was kind of disappointed by that fact tbh.

It sucks that there's no scanf("%.*s"), where you give the buffer length as a separate argument. The fact that it's in a string literal also makes using a compile-time constant really ugly.
