"You're confusing X with Y" uses a personal pronoun but I don't think I'd call it a personal attack—it's a common phrase in spoken English. Maybe "That's confusing X with Y" would be a modicum more polite, but only a modicum.

Please stop these low-information, bilious comments now. It's not contributing positively to sniff at others' lack of credentials and tout yourself. Experts are welcome here if they want to share their expertise, but just being dismissive isn't a good thing for any HN user to do, expert or no.
The question is whether the 2.4% was smooth across all filings, or whether it was 100% of the first million, 50% of the next million, etc as the computer system flagged things as unusual.
Now is the time to plan for 2040 and beyond. I’m in a “developed” country and were looking at options regarding acquiring multiple inherited citizenships to maximise our options for this unknown future.
Good point btw. I'd much rather have service at airport that ships my suitcase via traditional methods but saves me $10-15 and hassle carrying suitcase all around across the world. I can live off my carry-on for a week or two.

I guess that would only serve people who move across infrequently. Most travellers are only visiting places for couple of weeks or so.
I don't get how you get to the point of seeing the rust trademark as "the entire work". If you modified rustc and called it "FeO, a compiler for rust", you'd be fine. Just don't call what isn't rust "rust" and it's OK.

Nothing in the FOSS ethos gives you a right to misrepresent a product, you get the right to modify software, not to say it's something it isn't.

Let's consider two cases:

1. I forked rust, made a bunch of changes that are not compatible with upstream and setup rust.engineering (which is free right now) to say my fork is the rust then the rust devs should be able to tell me to not use their name for my product.

2. I forked rust, made a bunch of changes that are not compatible with upstream and setup feo.engineering (which is free right now) to point to my fork and say "feo is a rust-derived language" then that should be fine.

My reading of the license allows for the second use case, but not the first, which I feel is the right way. What is the problem with not allowing people to misrepresent the source of the code?

Not going to happen, sorry. Global climate catastrophe will cause even more increases in migration, causing more nationalism, and more right wing politics.

Why else would ring wing politicians deny it exists?, to cause more climate change, and more migration, to get more votes.

The overhead of, for example, invoking a method via reflection is measured in single-digit nanoseconds. Still not as fast as direct invocation, but unlikely to be a bottleneck unless you perform 10-of-millions of them per second.
I may be confusing the term with "disinterested curiosity". Wish I could fine the article if only to refer to again. Here's a bit of an explanation that seems to match my understanding of the concept:

To my mind that's an engineer whose curiosity is uninvested in the outcome of the exploratory work.

I've known good engineers and great engineers and to some degree, they were all like Leonardo da Quirm, though not all quite as naive.
I'm genuinely curious, but why:

- not walk?
Those who have lived under a rock for a decade would most definitely draw to this utopian conclusion of describing the 2010s as being "Amazing".

The actual reality of the 2010s brought technological advancements alongside the endless possibilities of abuse of privacy, security, bias and policies by its many creators upon its users. We have devices loaded with micro-sensors that track everything we do created by the so-called unprofitable 'unicorn' companies floating in IPOs every day, meanwhile in other countries there are claims of foreign interference in elections and referendums via the use of the same data we created, Which gives bad actors the opportunity to use them against us to easily bring terror to our streets. The list of damages from the 2010s go on.

No doubt that the tech and data we created can be used for good, but as the tech grows up we must prepare to create detection and prevention methods against the bad actors. The 2010s did not do this enough and it has riddled us with these issues.
When you so obviously already have your mind made up what you believe, there is absolutely no justification for me - or anybody else - to engage with you in an attempt to "change your mind". That's not an honest and open, intellectual discussion. Frankly, this post and all of your responses so far strike me as basically just moderately clever trolling.
Didn't the Roman empire fall centuries after its peak?

Also, the US (and many other nations) have been growing and improving for hundreds of years at this point. So by your logic, at almost any point in the past you could have said, "We're doing better than we've ever done, therefore this is the end."

There seems to be some strange human predisposition toward predicting that doom and gloom are just around the corner -- a prediction that is almost always wrong.
This sounds like lookahead carry, but in balanced ternary, carry can be either positive or negative, so you still need extra trit lines for lookahead carry.
Made me laugh about “Dad configured a boot entry”...I remember the hours with my Dad trying to stuff whatever device drivers into that 640K via Autoexec.bat and Config.sys. Got the CD-ROM running but damn if sound now doesn’t work. Those were the days trying to get Tie Fighter in my case to work.

Worse part was my Dad in his wisdom bought a family PC without a Pentium, but a Cyrix P166. Had zero floating point processing. Ran like a damn dog on any 3D game.

Any Brits out there might remember Time Computers. On every back page of any newspaper ever selling PoS computers with whatever subpar hardware they could cram into a big beige box ;-)
I find Limits To Growth's view https://www.amazon.com/Limits-Growth-Donella-H-Meadows/dp/19... more compelling, especially that its business as usual model is still reasonably accurate based on 2014 research https://sustainable.unimelb.edu.au/publications/research-pap....

They didn't intend to predict but only to reveal patterns. One of the main patterns it found was prosperity in overshoot preceding collapse of population and standard of living. The Cato Institute and Wall Street Journal describing a relatively short time is consistent with the LtG view, but lacks the half-century of accuracy and projection beyond.

WSJ should say about this piece, "Past performance does not indicate future results."

LtG does suggest what could avoid collapse. At this date it basically reduces to everyone doing everything possible, which is still possible. At the top is to change our beliefs and values from pushing growth, faith in technology, and externalizing costs to enjoying what we have and stewardship.

It's not crazy. Having applied it in my life has improved it.
This guy’s upbeat editorials in the Swedish media have consistently applauded our transformation from a world leader along just about every metric of human development, to a country that blindly adopts market solutions to societal problems whose political leaders settle for goals such as “being on par with the rest of Europe”. His focus on the positive provides the winners of this transformation with the conversational ammunition they need not to feel guilty, and diverts attention away from the glaring issues (growing inequality, racial tensions, exploitation of employees by employers, etc) that I’ll assume Norberg doesn’t have much insight into, given his writings.
The clearest and most concise treatment I've come across on how Category Theory is used is Tai-Danae Bradley's "What is Applied Category Theory": https://arxiv.org/abs/1809.05923 (It's a 50 page PDF)

Unfortunately the examples aren't within CS, but at least for me personally, seeing it clearly applied in any context was the most important thing. It may be a good pre-req for looking at (or conjuring up your own) more detailed applications within CS specifically.

Also, if you like that, Tai-Danae Bradley has more writing at: https://www.math3ma.com/
> There are no other instances.

Conveniently forgetting Ukraine for a current example. Or the havoc Russia did in the 20th century in all of Eastern Europe.

> "geographical malady of being next to Russia" This sounds Russophobic. When you want to write something like this, try replacing Russians and Russia with Jews and Israel, and see if it still sounds okey.

Last time I checked Israel didn't subjugate half a continent for 50 years.

>The intellectuals form a world-citizen class movement

I think unfortunately the elite class has morphed into an extractive leech on lower classes to an extent we haven't seen in recent history in the west. This helps explain the rise of nationalism, xenophobia, etc.

Quality generally varies wildly, but I don't think "too many conferences" is necessarily the reason.

Three arguments for more conferences:

a) A conference focused on a very specific topic can provide more in-depth/specialized talks on it. A talk on some technology a a wide-breath conference will always have to include some generic "what is this thing" segment, even if it wants to talk about something specific, and will only have 1-2 talks on it.

b) More conferences means it's more likely there's an interesting one nearby. A conference that's a reasonable train ride away is a lot easier to justify, both for me privately or at work, than one that involves long-distance (or even intercontinental) travel.

c) to a degree it means smaller conferences, which makes getting into contact with people somewhat easier (as long as interesting people are still there - it is a balance)

I'm from Europe as well and remember seeing this mentioned in more than one US movie.

The comments in this thread trying to complain about things, without addressing the facts stated in the article, are bizarre. People really need to believe that things are bad, don’t they? It’s not enough that free people and free markets are enabling incremental progress toward prosperity. There must be a problem so that there needs to be a solution.

I came here to tell this exact tale. Our stories were so similar I checked your profile: we work in the exactly same office. I have to say our employer’s strategy worked.

I lived 3 miles away (typically a 13 min bike ride for me plus probably 15 min of parking/showering), but I still almost always drove.

To fix my commute I just moved, and my life is a lot nicer with this newfound 10min walking commute.

Even with the new fee ($12 to park vs $7 of benefit), I would still drive before I moved. I have after work hobbies that require me to drive. Biking 45min in the rain/dark to the climbing gym would have just killed that for me.

A lot of people were quite angry about the new system. But I think that it was necessary to fix the parking constraints we were running into (frequent stock outs for parking at like 9am). I have a “there is no free lunch” view for commuting policy.
A morgue is your best example of a place where people are expected to be respectful of other people in their close proximity? And yes, the fact that you’re in public and necessarily in very close proximity to other people is precisely why you would hope that people would be respectful.
The point is not to augment cars via the proceeds of the tax, it's to change consumer or business behavior from the consumption of things that create otherwise uncaptured negative externalities like pollution or global warming - a market failure. As a side effect, these taxes are thought to create the economies of scale and investment necessary to make substitutes work in the market with minimization of consumption or economic output if the tax is introduced is scaled up with time.

This is why many well known economists are for a carbon tax:

Why should regional self-governance by likeminded people be replaced with lowest-common-denominator global government?

In tech terms, attitudes like these sound like everyone in the world should adopt the same set of values and use the same programming language, which would be Javascript if chosen democratically, or Ada if chosen by experts. :)

Reminded me of a similar experience I had approximately 15 years ago.

I had a 3:00AM conversation with Steve Jobs (long story) about something I was trying to do with Apple. This led to being invited to meet with an engineering and marketing team in Cupertino.

Without saying a thing, a few days after our meeting Apple added a link to our website from the first page of one of their main product pages.

Traffic instantly went from a few thousand hits per day to hundreds of thousands per day. It didn’t let-up for perhaps a year.

We were not prepared for this at all. It was a mad scramble to shift, pivot, adapt, evolve and attempt to rise up to the opportunity provided by this unexpected move.

I don’t think I slept for a whole year.

So the solution is to not offer parking space for employees? I wonder how the author came to the conclusion that a parking lot costs "1000nds of $/a" for an airport. Space is essentially the main requirement for that business, so I wonder what the tarmac costs.

And even if this was true, did not one consider that this might already be part of hiring people? "Look, we cannot offer you that many vacation days, but you'll get free parking, so you'll save half an hour every day in commute."
Any guesstimates as to when it starts to become worth it to use hyperscan vs pcre etc?

>> "You're confusing X with Y" uses a personal pronoun but I don't think I'd call it a personal attack

"You're confusing X with Y" suggests that its author is an expert who can judge who is right and who is wrong. I stated that I don't think that the author is an expert from the field. After checking his publications, I found that indeed there is no evidence that he is an expert. It doesn't prove that I am an expert but I didn't claim that he is confused about something, he did it about me (see, "but just being dismissive isn't a good thing").

I don't think there was a place to say "low-information, bilious comments now".

Edit: you disagree, I see it. My comment is not a top banner on HN so that it disturbs people in any way. You disagree and you flag it as inappropriate.

I think being robust against injuries is a major factor, but especially in shorter long distances (5k, 10k) elites are elite mainly because they have an innately fast body type + aerobic talent. There's plenty of injury-prone pro track runners who are still elite because they are just fast. I would definitely believe that avoiding injuries would be a deciding factor in ultrarunning though, given the huge aerboic base you need to build up for those events.

Wonder how many countries will follow the UK in the next 10 years or so. The current system won't really work when the next budget debate (2021-27) is up. More and more western countries and especially the voters are fed up how they are net contributors to the system (UK, Germany, France, Nordic countries) while eastern countries like Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria etc are only taking money out with a staggering

Surface lots mostly only exist because of arbitrary government regulation requiring a minimum amount of parking. It's clearly too high, since the vast majority of developers will only ever build the absolute minimum number of parking required, and even during the busiest shopping days of the year American parking lots aren't really full.

It would be a lot better to just free up the parking lots as actual developable land.

The 6502 was an enabler if there ever was one. Yes, memory was expensive. But we used only a very small fraction of what we think of as normal today. A typical system would have 2K ram; maybe 4K and if you were rich you'd splurge for the 16K upgrade (but what would you do with so much memory?).

In comparision, the 6800 sold for a large multiple of the 6502, and Motorola wouldn't have slashed their prices if not for the 6502. Peddle & Co showed that a CPU did not have to be expensive and that was a game changer.

A whole generation of 8 bit machines depended on it: VIC-20, CBM 64, Atari, Acorn Atom, BBC Micro, Apple I, Apple II.

None of those would have happened without an affordable CPU to power them.

Very few chips can claim such a distinguished legacy, and without showing the market potential for this 'personal computer' thing IBM might not have entered the game at all. Visicalc (which required 32K!) was the breakthrough moment.
