I think "grotesque" is a little extreme here. Economic edge is certainly an advantage that comes out of constantly producing new technologies which aid humanity. I can understand your concern though as many technologies come with environmental impacts...etc. Another way to view this in a more positive light is that we're also in the midst of a green revolution (wind, solar, energy storage... etc). The more people we have tackling these hard technical problems (transportation, renewable energy generation, fusion, finding an end to cancer, optimizing food production) the better. Of course, this can't come at the expense of our humanity, but providing additional focus on pivotal subjects like mathematics is vital to the human race.
Yes, you have successfully identified a structural issue with modern capitalism.
I hope some day to encounter a situation where a non-psychedelic-experienced person lecturing the experienced about how silly they are agrees to "put their money where their mouth is" so to speak and actually try it out for themselves, and then return to the previous argument and reflect upon it with the new insight they've gained.

Of course they wouldn't suddenly "get it" entirely like in the movies, but I think it would have to be somewhat interesting to see their reaction to going from absolute confidence in their perceptions and knowledge, to.....well, whatever you call the state one is in after having had such experiences. I know for me, even being fairly experienced, returning to a psychedelic state is rather shocking....it seems like it is literally impossible to store even remotely proper memories of it in one's mind, at least mine. Ineffable doesn't seem like the right word for it.
Universal inclusion has risen to the level of religion. You can't join such a club because if your membership is discovered, your employer will be pressured to fire you regardless of how mundane the club.
You didn't know you could highlight on the Kindle? Do you primarily use the Kindle web app? If you have an actual Kindle reader it sounds like you should read the manual in case you are missing some other nice features. I can't imagine using a Kindle without the highlighting or dictionary lookup.

I have been writing down what I do every day since 2002. So 17 years of daily notes about what I did, how I feel, what I was excited about that day. One cool thing about the journal is that it is electronic. So its searchable which is kind of cool. Its always handy to look up stuff you did in the past and when you did it, who you were with, when you went on that great vacation to the beach etc... I highly recommend keeping a journal, for people who are into it.
Could a similar result be achieved by having a set of implicit imports in a users home config and executing the content in an async, then you can just await values.

It would also be worthwhile to use a different file extension, like .tmj/.tmt (for js and typescript flavours).

A major in philosophy is not required to have a conscience.
For our organisation (mid size, varied skill level across the org) Kubernetes solves the problem of pattern drift. There is one way to do things, and when there are multiple ways, we enforce a single one.

An example is databases. We offer Postgres (via an operator that provisions an RDS instance). AWS lets you choose whatever you want, and frankly at our scale and level of complexity, there is simply no reason to choose one SQL db over another other than bikeshedding. So being able to enforce Postgres, and as a result, provide a better, more managed provisioning experience (with security by default and less footguns) and training and support just for one DB type is incredibly powerful.

As Kelsey Hightower has often said, Kubernetes is a platform for building platforms. Just deploying a Kubernetes cluster, giving devs access and calling it a day is rarely the right answer. Think of it as a way to effectively provide a Heroku alternative inside your company, without starting from scratch or paying Heroku prices

No, but it does classify as different hassle costs as they claim.

Out of curiosity, what encrypted notes app do you use? I’d be interested in a simple notes app with a clean UI, cloud sync, and encryption. I’ve played with cryptpad [1] a little bit and it’s good, but maybe a little too feature-heavy. It’s closer to google docs.

Well, of course, this all makes perfect sense. If a company pushes out a bad product or service or other generally subpar what have you, the first line of defense is to make it as difficult as possible for customers to have any good resolution to their complaints.
Yeah, I think the problem is that it’s clearly not the real purpose of the app. Even users seeking friends are sometimes seeking people who they may eventually date once they recover from a breakup.
Yes, there's always a "shortage" of workers willing to work for less than market rate, just like there's always a "shortage" of free beer. That's market equilibrium.

It's clearly not a shortage in the economic sense, but it still makes sense to frame it as such, if you're buying labor.

For those of us who don't have access to Nature, here's an article with a fair bit of detail:

https://spectrum.ieee.org/nanoclast/semiconductors/processor...
No. I go in a different direction:

I started with the basic treating variables as placeholders for concepts. So, for me, it's asking, "What does this symbol represent?" I realize due to qualia, everyone's experiences vary, so we can both call x unconditional love, but also understand x equals two different, yet similar, things between us.

When I started exploring philosophy I started getting recursively meta. Asking questions like, how does this category of things work?

But then as time went on, I started going in the opposite direction, and feel that it has yielded more fruit: If every singular thing in the universe is actually a set of ideas, then how can I break x up into multiple pieces? How do I label/name those pieces? What awareness does that increased resolution give me?

By playing with this abstraction/decomposition paradigm, awareness can be increased in both directions to ~inf.

This, as a side effect, increases one kind of intelligence. I frame this as metaphysics, though, I admit, I am unaware if this is an incorrect way to label it.

After all, labels (ie abstractions) are nothing more than our mind drawing lines around objects in the world, like the lines in a coloring book. It's our mind doing it, so we get to choose how we draw those lines. If someone wants to label love in one way and I choose to label it in another way, that's completely fine. The beauty in it, to me, is seeing how others see/perceive the world.

When I read a text book, I'm not just looking to learn a new topic or further my knowledge of a topic. I'm looking into how the author sees the world. This, to me, is far more fun than simply learning the topic. I feel the average person scratches the surface of what there is to explore.

So do I get bored of it? No. But it seems I'm exploring it in a different way than you, and that possibly explains why. To me, learning is like socializing. I get to see others in what they present, and that is beautiful.

Using dirty tools isn't a new thing either
CS is still a little fungible. I have worked with many programmers without a CS degree. They often took some programming classes as part of a STEM degree and spent significant time coding in collage.

These people often go back for a masters in CS, but that’s not required to work in the field.
While that might have been a good idea if we'd started a while ago, at this point CSV/TSV are so much more established that using commas or tabs doesn't actually save pain.
No, the sourced article says that some groups get more annoyed than others, when exposed to the same hassle.
The whole ideology of capitalist society is that you're supposed to be able to pursue whatever goal you'd like, that you accept the consequences of that decision, and that there is no common good by which individuals should be directed, at least by force. Now I don't think that's the case, obviously, but that's the ideological line. Thus the creation of an "army" of structural engineers would involve some level of coercion to direct the wants and needs and mold ordinary members of society into the engineers of that society. The precondition for this is only being a member of society with sufficient funds (or ability to loan) to enter the education system. But the precondition being 'molded' this way is different from the army system in most Western countries in which there is no conscription. You never chose to be molded that way, you were simply born with access to the education system. By joining the army you chose to be molded that way. I concede that 'molding' happens all the time from every imaginable source, but it seems to me to run directly counter to at least the spirit of freedom to pursue one's own ends under such influence. The invisible hand is superseded by a government's education secretary.

With regards to your point, the answer probably lies along the different types of reason. To put it crudely, if we were to ask whether a bomb made by a mad scientist is 'good', an engineer will first be directed to look at it in terms of destructive capacity, wear/tear, whether it can be used in the rain, and whether the production line is future-proof against enemies. The philosophy student, hopefully, will be directed to ask whether it was ethical for the mad scientist to create the bomb. The difference here turns on the meaning of the criterion (goodness), which is viewed from two different perspectives.

Plenty of "liberal arts" degree holders really do engage in analysis of complex, real world problems. For instance, the debate around, say, pornography (a very contentious topic which can and does inform legislation), distributive justice, or taxation (in the more abstract sense) is usually held by philosophers and sociologists. These are extremely important and complex problems that are informed by empirical data, not unlike in engineering. It seems as though you expect the philosopher to come forward with a ready-made solution, and indeed many do, but the field operates differently, it operates through dialogue, not only learning from past work. Next, it is worth considering whether working on the real world problems "close to you" is more important than more abstract ones. Philosophy and sociology work at a slower pace than the already slow engineering. It takes years or decades for new engineering works to make their way to pervade society (not merely to influence a few companies in tight competition with another) and it likewise takes a long time for attitudes to change.
Thank you. That was informative.

Do you know anything about Brian Oki's subsequent career? I was curious as to what he did after his VSR thesis and found a '93 paper of his (The Information Bus [1]). Interesting to see again he was a bit ahead of his time, this time anticipating 'Eventual Consistency'.

Why would the space-time and mathematical concept of dimensions be orthogonal? Don't we use the mathematical concept of dimension when dealing with space-time dimensions? Software developers in particular should have intuitive understanding of this connection, because implementing space-time in code is usually done through methods that closely resemble mathematical dimensions. Eg if you were to implement a point in 3 dimensional space time you'd give the point xyz and t as variables.
Anyone with a real CS degree should be able to learn a new toolkit in six months. The "STEM" crisis is from companies not wanting to pay for that six months.

If you have unergonomic furniture but you can’t change it (e.g. getting a taller chair, or putting some kind of booster seat on top of your existing chair (a company called HumanTool makes one I like), switching to a lower or adjustable-height desk, or installing an under-desk keyboard tray) or switch to a different keyboard, then the most important thing is to position/orient the keyboard so that your wrists are not bent while you are typing. Having bent wrists (either extended or flexed) is the most effective way to give yourself RSI.

To keep your wrists straight, pull the keyboard fairly close to the edge of the desk, then tilt the keyboard so that the top surface is parallel to your forearms, when you have your arms in a relaxed position with your upper arms close to your torso and your shoulders back.

For a high desk/low chair, you need to tilt the keyboard up at the back end. The taller the desk relative to your torso, the more aggressive the tilt needs to be.
That is definitely true! I have no idea about the logistics of running an Android emulator headless on a VPS. Maybe you'd have to use VNC or something at first otherwise just host it locally?
That would have potentially serious permanent and irreversible consequences. It's much different from losing $200k by having to sell your car at the end of the race. And there are various factors that affect the sterility of the instruments, some of which are out of the doctors' control.

It is not OK to give a doctor HIV just because the maintenance people didn't service the machine correctly, causing it to output clean-looking but infected instruments.

Judging by the amount of downvotes I've received, people are clearly not making the distinction between content and format, which I regress, was the point I was attempting to make.
awk -F, ?

Until you start dealing with quotes.
I realize this was meant to be sarcastic. However, I whole-heartedly and unironically agree. For writing small bits of configuration, just about any language will be fine. For large amounts of configuration, as is required for... oh, I dunno, let's say deploying software in the cloud, all the commonly used languages are a disaster.

Data serialization languages (like JSON, INI, XML, etc) lack the power to describe large configurations. There's no way to define an abstraction and then use it in multiple places. There's no way to constrain what is considered correct. You end up with tens of thousands of lines of very, very repetitive structures that are very fragile and hard to change.

General purpose languages are also bad for writing configurations. Yes, they're very powerful. That's not a feature when it comes to configuration. If you have a program that emits a configuration, the only thing you can do with it is run it, then inspect the resulting configuration. You can't inspect or transform the program at the level of the configuration semantics. You can't ensure that the configuration will have specific properties. You can't even ensure that the program will, in fact, emit a configuration.

So yeah, we need new configuration languages that lie in between data serialization languages and general purpose computing languages. We're starting to see them. HCL is awful, but it was an attempt at solving this problem and a move in the right direction. Jsonnet is maybe better better? I dunno, I've never tried it. Dhal is interesting, though difficult for non-Haskellers to approach. CUE is also interesting. Bravo!
That's a unique scenario that has no place in this discussion. Of course you fired them.

While the content ist laudable, did they really just announce that starting September 1st, devs should plan ahead due to extended review times - and make the announcement on August 30?
The problem is not that there are too many configuration languages. The problem is that none of them are any good. The way to solve that is to keep trying new ones until we find one that is good.

I've tried that. Turned out that most people took it as code for "friends with benefits" with heavy emphasis on the benefits and very little on the friends part. Which is ok for those who have that as their goal but a bit confusing for those who haven't figured out the code yet.
Didn't know this existed. The closest thing I can think of similar to this is `defer` of Golang.
Are you familiar with the concept of context? It's helpful because it allows easier communication by not requiring words to mean the same thing at all times.

In this case, it is helpful because we can scale our understanding of the poster's disappointment to allow us to not have to consider how it might be disappointing relative to, say, global thermonuclear war or a first kiss, but only need to think about it in relation to the other topics of discussion.

I highly recommend using context whenever communicating.
So you'd be okay if every other country in the world did the same to US citizens? They would demand you hand over all of your social media information and then scrape the data when going on vacation? Would you trust all of those governments? Because that's where we're headed. If the US does this then so will every other country.
It’s really not. That’s part of the problem with lisp. But you can treat your code as a data structure which offers a lot of benefits. For instance, it’s basically impossible to offer control flow as a library in normal languages. That is, if you wanted to implement an unless statement like in Ruby, you’d have to use thunks or some other form of lazy evaluation. Macros allow you to just transform the unless statement into an if statement quite easily by just operating on the AST. Of course, you can do this without homoiconicity but it’s a lot less ergonomic.

Also part of the reason Babel exists is to take the place of a macro system. Instead of transpiling array spread into a function polyfill, macros would just output the pollyfill into the AST. What’s nice about this is that since it’s userland, people can test drive new features. Rust did that for async/await. And the pattern matching proposal in JS is based off a SweetJS macro.

(Obviously not all language features can be implemented as macros but you get my point, right)

Once as a small child I experienced spontaneously unconditional love for approximately twenty seconds. Subjectively I felt a deep and abiding love for all things everywhere. The Universe itself was a small thing embedded in an unbounded ocean of love.

In a certain sense the experience never left me as the memory of it is a kind of background and foundation to the rest of my life.

I won't wax too mystical here on HN, but in time I found that love is a physical reality that undergirds the world of form, that the real world is an expression in different modes and frequencies of love. E.g. gravity is love. All matter/energy yearns to return to itself in the unity that existed before Time.
