It was definitely a challenge to communicate that everyone was a human in there. (As far as humans can be trusted ;)

Later in the design we added some details to hopefully get that across to as many people as possible. The biggest being "connect to other humans" that bounces in over the elevator button before you can call it. The others are maybe a bit too tucked away in the info (?) area.

I think with the amount of traffic in the last 12hrs everyone does start to look like a bot though!
This is for 2014:

> About 87 percent of 19-year-olds in 1983 had their licenses, but more than 30 years later, that percentage had dropped to 69 percent.

> Drivers in their 20s, 30s and 40s also saw their ranks fall as a percentage of their age group population since 1983—down about 13 percentage points for those in their 20s, more than eight percentage points for thirtysomethings and nearly three percentage points for those in their 40s.

Wow, my mistake. The color I submitted wasn't confirmed, but for some reason, I just didn't realise that. My bad!
Weird article. It kind of feels like a puff piece to rehabilitate Bob Iger's image. He's now being touted as the savior of Disney, not the person who nearly killed Disney then walked away (or maybe was forced to walk away).

In reality, Iger overextended Disney and really shot it in the foot. He made it into this extremely brittle company that was probably banking on the Disney parks and Marvel movies to pull it through. They spent way too much money to buy Fox, which is what is probably putting them in a very weak financial position now.

Regardless of what you think of the Star Wars sequels, they are not the big draw they once were and the brand is not doing well. If they are lucky the Mandalorian can help to build the brand up if they don't force the focus to be on baby yoda. The parks even focused on the new trilogy rather than the original trilogy which is what most people like the best. Even the parks have shown signs of problems before the virus, they kept cranking the prices up, and it felt like they had cranked them too high and might be suffering attendance problems. There were lots of deals going on right before the virus lock downs, which is not the norm.

It kind of feels like what's really happening is that Disney realized that even though Iger put them in this position, Chapek doesn't have the skill to lead them out when the lock down ends. So the board would rather go with the devil they know, then go with an unknown in Chapek.
Same here, I ditched Windows, which was becoming increasingly bloated and harder to develop on, in 2004 I think, then I had a few years of FreeBSD (yes, as my main OS and on a laptop at that!), then switched back to Linux (drivers, mostly). Since ~2009, I've been working on Fedora, with a year of (forced) MacOS experience around '17 - I was delighted when the project I needed a Mac for ended, and I could get back to Fedora. Availability of drivers improved tremendously during the 2010s (although NVidia's became... hard to deal with), so much so that I could buy an off the shelf laptop and have Fedora up and running in a matter of minutes. With video codecs, web browsers, messaging apps, office suite - basically all the things you get on other OSes. Even the games I was interested in worked, thanks to Steam (and LD_PRELOAD in one case).

To summarize: Linux was a decent desktop ten years ago, and it didn't get any worse, at the very least, since then.
I suspect you didn't catch gp's meaning: To get to 24 bits of color info, you'd need at least 3 words of 8 bit info each. If you want these to be non-repeating and unordered that makes 256x3=768 unique words.
Maybe this could be partially automated by getting lists of things like plants, animals, etc. running a web image scrape with those key words, and computing the average color of, say, the first 100 images returned for each word.
We looked into it, but it seems to be solving a different problem - how to handle large data. Does it solve merging of structured data?

E.g. a json file is chanaged on 2 machines, and you need to merge the changes. Sometimes you can merge (e.g. 2 different entries in an array where people are adding annotations), sometimes you need to raise an error - e.g. changes in a single record, but for different fields - depending on a problem, you may disallow it, to keep the record consistent.
While this is true, the regulatory chances after Three Mile Island and the general changing attitude towards nuclear made it impossible for the industry to adjust to the changing market.

Nuclear growth was so incredibly fast at first that it was maybe a bit unsustainable, but going from the fastest ever growing energy to total stagnation for 40 years is a difficult thing to explain.

What are the real world prospects for cobol developers? I’m seriously asking. I’m tired of running the JavaScript treadmill, I’d much rather invest the time to learn cobol (which I bet doesn’t change everything about how things are done every 6 months) if I can be reasonably sure it comes with a steady amount of work and a good rate.

But so far all I’ve seen is people saying “welp others should learn cobol because there aren’t many programmers still in the workforce who know this language and it pays big bucks” but I could never find hard evidence. Where are the job ads? Where are the typical rates?
> I often think that the flow of time is really just an artifact

All human concepts are artifacts. "Flow" is a concept that presupposes the concept of "time", i.e. it is self-referential as you say. "Movement" presupposes "time". Citation marks are used here to highlight the conceptual nature of these terms - to say that time is something other than our concepts is true since the phenomenon is different than the concept, but once you conceptualize those differences you are again creating artifacts.

This process flows a common pattern, but usually just means one has found a new way of looking at a phenomenon which is different than conventional concepts, usually involving the removal of some dimension from view and viewing it as a two-dimensional or three-dimensional object, or similar (even 11-dimensional). It can be a truer view, if it explains something causally that previously was just guessed or misunderstood, but usually it just an expression of some hoping-for-a-goldmine theoretical framework that is going nowhere.

Some phenomena are especially prone to these kinds of gymnastics - economics comes to mind, attempts at creating historical models another. They take extreme complex and volatile phenomena and extract (reduce it to) a few dimensions, which may explain things with in a very limited frame of reference, not in its totality. It is certainly true of that which we denote as "time", a phenomenon that we have no problem communication about (we know what "time" is) but which at the core as a phenomenon is a mystery to us.

The insight that terms differ from, and can never fully explain phenomena in and of themselves, is an insight that comes with philosophy. At least since Kant. Science tends to downplay this, to the detriment of our understanding of the world.

If it's just that essentially, but dressed up more nicely, I neither want to play it or make it. Personally I even got bored of collecting items for the sake of collecting them, or getting high scores for the sake of getting them, and exactly because every day 1000 games are made that follow all those patterns I feel perfectly free to ignore every one of them.

I still probably will never make a good game, but I learned a lot through trying, and I can feel good about what I tried, too. For me it's just something I do when I feel like coding, but have nothing "useful" to work on, after all.

I worry when I hear "community" as a support mechanism. Community can "rally round" in times of crisis - that's great. but mostly they are terrible. Communities have abused minorities, locked away the different and the challenging, starved, beaten, exiled and ignored.

Governments do this too - but the thing about democratic governments is we can find out and force corrections. And governments can afford to employ experts to do the daily boring work of looking after those in need - community interest tends to wane as well.

It's not perfect- and I disagree with "feeding people for the rest of their lives". I, without any good evidence, feel the Chesterton style Distrubitism cited downthread is most likely to have good community outcomes and still allow government to fill in the gaps.

Overall - in my view, how governments assist the needy is a policy choice. Whether they assist is a fundamental duty.

Edit: I understand you are agreeing, I am not trying to spark a fight, just want to be careful about the idea that community can solve much these days.

I actually changed my mind a little after posting that comment. I think it was mentioned elsewhere also, but even something that I would consider "bricked" could still probably be recovered by someone with access to the right tools (ability to reflash via JTAG, replacing chips etc.)

I would refine my definition to be that a "bricked" device is something that has occurred via a failed software update making the device inoperable to all but the tiniest subset of users.

>if not, one must necessarily accept that reality 'comes from' nothing.

UDASSA (http://fennetic.net/irc/finney.org/~hal/udassa/) is the closest thing I've seen to a believable idea about how reality could come from nothing. It's basically a more specific version of the mathematical universe hypothesis.

>Actually I've been working on a theory to define randomness from complete uncertainty

If you're trying to make a deterministic theory of physics and eschew randomness from the world, then you're going to run into big problems from quantum mechanics. The idea that results from random quantum interactions comes from hard-to-measure factors in the world that we just happen to be uncertain about is called a hidden variable theory, and Bell's Theorem shows that those theories are incompatible with the principle of locality. Though there is one popular local and deterministic interpretation of quantum mechanics that avoids this issue: the Many-Worlds Interpretation. I wrote a post in another thread recently that's relevant: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22845499.
I think the 'frame rate' of the human mind is around 13 milliseconds. We fill in the gaps so our perception is of a continuous reality.

And what's wrong with some 'entertainment', not every aspect of life needs to be optimised and tuned for full productivity / efficiency.

Bad wording, sorry. I meant to refresh the knowledge I already have and learn the new things, ie go deeper into the maths topics.

What I studied during my cs course was just the basics: linear algebra, mathematical analysis, probability theory, and physics. All beginner levels.

I do need to refresh my knowledge from 10 years ago in order to move forward. I was thinking about taking the time off from work and spending a year in a library reading books and learning more. The problem is that I don't really know which direction to take, what are the good books for that. And this is something I hoped a university program would solve.
>What would it take to get it ported to a better browser?

It's waiting for review approval on the chrome webstore.
The API is quite simple - you need to implement a script which takes 3 arguments, writes a result of a merge to a file, and exits with non-zero status code in case of merge error. Quote from https://git-scm.com/docs/gitattributes#_defining_a_custom_me...:

To define a custom merge driver filfre, add a section to your $GIT_DIR/config file (or $HOME/.gitconfig file) like this

[merge "filfre"]
name = feel-free merge driver
driver = filfre %O %A %B %L %P
recursive = binary

The merge.?.name variable gives the driver a human-readable name.

The merge.?.driver variable’s value is used to construct a command to run to merge ancestor’s version (%O), current version (%A) and the other branches' version (%B). These three tokens are replaced with the names of temporary files that hold the contents of these versions when the command line is built. Additionally, %L will be replaced with the conflict marker size (see below).

The merge driver is expected to leave the result of the merge in the file named with %A by overwriting it, and exit with zero status if it managed to merge them cleanly, or non-zero if there were conflicts.

It's sad to see that FreeBSD rehashes the same arguments they used at least since 2005 (I actually couldn't believe that the article is written in 2020) and completely ignore all the innovation that Linux has undergone since then. My favourite:

KMS (Kernel Mode Setting) makes graphical UI a first-class citizen and Linux a solid desktop foundation. Did FreeBSD finally catch up here?

Cgroups and namespaces together with a COW filesystem makes Linux a solid foundation for containers. I used jails back in 2009 and, honestly, its vision was incomplete. For n jails you needed n copies of the userspace. You couldn't use lo0 property, etc etc. Jails felt both too restricted and insufficiently isolated from one another. Has anything changed since then?

I really wished FreeBSD stopped glorifying its past and was realistically looking at its current position in the OS landscape. Until that changes, FreeBSD will be both a lacking desktop OS and a lacking server OS for my daily work.

Thanks for your input. Really appreciate it. Yes, I’ll record a short video explaining the use case for the application. Have been meaning to do it for some time, actually.

A somewhat superficial way to describe the application is perhaps to call it a more semantic wiki; for example, the application allows you to establish semantically meaningful relations between topics (i.e., defining not only the type of relationship but also what role each topic plays within the context of the relationship). There is much more to the application than just that, but it is an example of how the application allows you to model/express a knowledge domain.
