Walmart trades oil futures for the same reason Southwest Airlines does.

During the mid-2000s, Southwest got so good at hedging and futures trading--plus was one of the only airlines that hadn't gone bankrupt so had the cash and credit and good reputation to trade on--that it was routinely called "a commodity desk that happens to fly airplanes."

I agree because it is incongruent to target symbolism towards "Christmas" when every day of our week is a reference to Norse religions. So in this case we don't know if someone was offended by recognizing Christmas symbolism at all due to the Santa hat on the gear, or if someone that likes Christmas was offended because Santa's hat has nothing to do with their Christian God - we'll never know! But something like this happens every season leading into the end of the year, while other religious symbolism equally as prevalent in our society is completely ignored. This makes me lean towards not reacting to "random offended person" at all.

false, in my book
No, it hasn't. This comes up every time someone on HN mentions anything to do with photography - mostly, it seems, from people who don't do a lot of photography or at the very least aren't closely familiar with interchangeable-lens cameras - and it never stops being nonsense.

There are plenty of things that could be improved about DSLR and mirrorless cameras, in the firmware and out of it. The number of those things which are in any way related to, or could be in any way improved by, the idea of jamming a smartphone into an interchangeable-lens camera, is zero.

(In case anyone's inclined to question my own chops: that's fair, considering my line of argument. I don't post much of my work lately, but here's my best shot of 2019, taken from a distance of six inches with a Nikon D500 and a 105mm macro lens: https://aaron-m.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/DSC_9393.jpg - so you can look at that and judge for yourself whether I'm qualified to speak to the question of how familiarity with interchangeable-lens cameras influences the perceived value of junking up their UI with a lot of smartphone garbage.)

I am surprised by the usefulness of math concepts as analogies for everyday life. Local vs. global optima, explore vs. exploit, depth-first vs. breadth-first, constraints vs. objectives, necessary vs. sufficient, ...

I also find myself wanting to compose precise statements using "for each", "there exists", "such that", and so on, in a recursive formal logic structure, when discussing non-mathematical topics.

It's hard to tell if those analogies actually help you make real-life decisions, or if they are just a convenient way to state ideas that are also easily stated in non-mathematical language.

Precisely my point, near-term overwork for a possibility of a “permanent” job later on, but many people who get there sacrifice family life, get divorced, and win something of a pyrrich victory in the end: a lifetime job with nobody to share it with.

Not true for everybody but I’ve spent my entire career at ultra-elite tier places and the divorce rates are far in excess of average. Pretty sure 50% of tenured faculty at my grad institution were still unmarried well past 40 or divorced. I’m not suggesting one must be married with kids to have a perfect life, but the current system is weeding out anybody who wants that.

Yep, healthcare is garbage.

This is subjective. Most Americans care more about roads than public transportation.

In all but the most expensive metros, US housing is way cheaper per sq ft than most Western European nations. This is partly due to urban sprawl due to the love affair with cars, but it is cheaper.

Richer middle class than most other countries. Just because the US is a good place for business and a bad place to be poor says very little about the average experience.

Yep, that comes with gun ownership. Many people are knowingly making that trade-off. You'd want to compare murder/suicide rates with other countries for any meaningful comparisons.
I was fortunate to grow up during the last-gasp era of print media where tabloids had their place and were distinguished from the reputable periodicals and the blossoming online world by the topics and perspectives they portrayed.

Tabloid reporting is now the standard low quality information diet they choose to feed the masses (MSM) and it is only in small groups (isolated, segmented, segregated, seperated) do many find and share the best of humanities intangibles in an environment where data integrity is accountable and desirable (amongst other things).

It takes a special something to misalign desperation with motivation as a social experiment, but its just as perverse as it sounds. Its funny how that all worked out for the 20th century.

You are 100% right that the analog world is a cesspool of good intentions, but instead of the uneducated having access to the world of the educated on the Internet (ie. information super highway), the reality/irony is that the educated are getting bombarded and inundated (force fed) an uneducated narritive 24/7 (ala super capacity public sewage pipe).

We should all take a moment of pause and laugh about that. This bodes well for the comedy that is AI that is yet to happen.

Of course he's religious, it's a mascot for a Christian holiday. Don't confuse American commercialism's exploitation of Christmas & Santa with its religious roots.
Yes. That is, you check in the binaries.

Do I do this for hobby projects? No, of course not. If my toy projects break, meh. But for production? Where breakage actually costs money? Damn right I do.

It's not only breakage, though. You want a hermetic build system, so you can build software reproducibly and consistently. There are few things more "fun" than building "the same" code on two machines, and one executable has a bug while the second doesn't. (OK. Compiler bugs are even more fun)
One way to get around the 8k NOTIFY limit is to only use the capability to notify only. It would them be incumbent on the client to go fetch the data from a table somewhere. I ran into a similar limitation with SQL Server 2005 years ago and used this approach with great success.

> who’s to say what Apple could do when given an image from a high end camera sensor instead of the tiny one in an iPhone?

Ruin it. But they wouldn't, because there'd be no need.

The thing about a big high-end camera sensor is that having one means you don't need to fake bokeh. You can put a good fast prime lens in front of it and get the real thing. Phone cameras have to post-process their way to it because the physics of their small sensors mean they simply aren't capable of capturing enough off-axis light to produce true bokeh.

North America is not a country.
Button pushing is beneath a gentleman-scholar commanding officer. On the other hand, a single worker-drone with all the controls in his hands might get his own ideas. Multiple stations with partial control, coordinated by the captain's voice, fit the organizational hierarchy best.

So much so that the military even tried to do this with aircraft cockpits, until it was obviously unworkable. The "hotshot young maverick pilot" archetype was allowed to form because they physically couldn't help it.

At least, this is the story told in The Right Stuff.
Glass cockpits and FBW are great, in theory. In practice, I don't know because I haven't had to use it. However, don't make the mistake of assuming that just because the US Navy can't get a well-engineered system put together means that Boeing and Airbus are guilty of the same. (Their glass-cockpit systems come from other vendors, who also supply to smaller aircraft makers BTW.)

Also, how many foreign militaries have had problems like this with basic ship steering?

From what I can tell, the US Navy is uniquely broken here. UK, Australia, Japan, France etc. do not have have their ships plowing into slow cargo ships. Commercial aircraft are not flying into the ground left and right. (The 737MAX is pretty bad, but that's not even related to glass cockpits; MCAS was a Boeing-engineered component, not a glass cockpit sourced from some vendor like Thales.)
> All indentation does is tell you that there is a hierarchy of some sort.

As I said, it's not just indented, but also layouted. As a Lisp developer I see a LET and then know that a binding+body structural pattern is following. binding+body and variations of those is used in a bunch of operators.

That's a simple sequence:

1) identify the operator on the left

2) it determines the layout pattern

3) visually apply pattern recognition based on the layout pattern and classify the blocks

Lisp is actually quite well to read, but you have to learn the basic structural patterns for a few days.

The biggest hurdles are mental blocks and prior exposition to other types of syntax systems.

> the coder decides the indentation

He doesn't. Lisp does it. There are indentation rules provided by the development environment. If Lisp does the layout, it uses a complex layout system to adjust the code to the available horizontal space, taking into account the constructs to layout. That's why Lisp developers use these indentation and layout tools for decades.

Lisp code itself is fully insensitive to formatting. Tools (editor, Lisp, ...) do the indenting and sometimes also the layouting for the user.

> Using curly braces, parenthesis, and square brackets as an example, you spot them and immediately know the forest-level category something is: code block, function call, or array/structure index.

Lisp uses symbolic names for that. People are extremely good at reading names. Since Lisp names are always at the beginning of a form, there is no guess/backtracking needed to find out the most top-level form. Where as with languages with infix operators I would need to parse the whole thing, finding out the operators and select the one with the highest precedence.

> With Lisp, all you are guaranteed have is the function name (first parameter), which you have to do a mental name-to-purpose lookup, which could involve thousands of names. Splitting the lookup into levels improves the mental lookup performance, at least in my head.

Lisp has not just functions, but also macros and special operators. Function calls have a fixed syntax and there is not much to understand.

Special operators and macros usually signal with their names the kind of structure and thus the layout expected to follow. For example there are a bunch of macros which begin with WITH- . Those signal this pattern

WITH-
items and property list

BODY

Where 'items and property list' is something like

(name item :option1 value1 :option2 value2 ...)

For example a file will be opened like this:

(with-open-file (stream file :direction :input)
(read stream))

I read WITH-OPEN-FILE and know that it is a WITH- type macro. Then I know the basics of the structure of the code.

Lisp has a number of these built-in patterns.
The main author has many papers in Physical Review but here it is just arXiv, which journal you are talking about?
“I divide my officers into four classes as follows: The clever, the industrious, the lazy, and the stupid. Each officer always possesses two of these qualities.

Those who are clever and industrious I appoint to the General Staff. Use can under certain circumstances be made of those who are stupid and lazy. The man who is clever and lazy qualifies for the highest leadership posts. He has the requisite nerves and the mental clarity for difficult decisions. But whoever is stupid and industrious must be got rid of, for he is too dangerous.”

> He ordered Bordeaux to take over steering the warship while another sailor controlled its speed.

That was standard practice back in the day and for many decades before that: One sailor served as the "helmsman" doing the steering and another as the "lee helmsman" transmitting speed orders to the engine room, each as ordered by the conning officer. (Former aircraft-carrier bridge officer here.)

Example: Conning officer: "Right standard rudder, steady on course 090." Helmsman: "Right standard rudder aye, sir [or ma'am]. Sir, my rudder is right standard." Conning officer: "Very well." Helmsman: "Sir, steady on course 090." Conning officer: "Very well." Conning officer: "All engines ahead standard, make turns for 15 knots." Lee helmsman: [Repeats back the order in the same way; rings up "ahead standard" on the engine-order telegraph [0]; and verbally tells the engine room over a sound-powered telephone [1].] Lee helmsman: "Sir, engine room acknowledges all engines ahead standard, make turns for 15 knots." Conning officer: "Very well." The quartermaster on the bridge records the orders in the ship's log, and the watch officer in the engine room does the same for the engine room log.

Don't know how they do things now.

So, say there was something in there that should be illegal. How would it get made illegal since since even the US public & Congress was getting bad information about what was going on?

If the communities in control of classified material are frequently lying to the rest of the government about what is classified (seems likely) how is the government supposed to properly decide what is and isn't legal? How is the public supposed to direct the government about what should or shouldn't be illegal? This is the crux of the matter. There is a bunch of stuff going on that should be illegal that can't be made illegal because nobody is quite sure what is happening.

Christmas's roots are from pagan traditions around the new year's. They were christianized for many reasons.

Gift giving around the end of the year has been around since before 0 BC.

(And before someone screams "citation needed," I'll just say that it's well known, and if you didn't know it by now, there's a thing called Google and Wikipedia that you can go look at.)
My IMO is that if you're getting heat from users over the equivalent of an easter egg it doesn't really matter whether they're trolls or not, it's much easier to just remove or tone down the egg to make the problem go away. Having arguments about it is a waste of energy. Yes, it's kind of depressing or frustrating, but this is the nature of online discourse in 201x.

Whether or not the complaint is genuine is also much harder to figure out than "is it sufficient to replace this with a snowflake"

>> a few European countries have a better sense of community and human interaction than US

I would agree given a lot of the European communities are smaller in size (think "villages" instead of "cities") so there are in closer proximity and share more resources. They often share more bloodlines and have genealogical ties many generations deeper. My father came from Norway and his family is like 15 generations deep. Here in the US? His family ties are only three or four generations deep.
