Abstract data type.
Really impressed with the use of Monte Carlo method. A while back I ran into some resistance trying to advocate simpler statistical methods to solve a problem domain similar to this, while the team in question repeatedly wanted to reach for a machine learning solution. I'd love to know if I was wrong here. In my mind, when an algorithmic or heuristic path to a solution is available, we should attempt it first before reaching for ML.
Definitely agree on the Firefox megabar. As soon as that came out I had to use userChrome.css to make it stop covering the bookmarks toolbar when opening a new tab. When I open a new tab, I'm either going to type something in the address bar, or open a bookmark. Having one cover half of the other makes no sense. It's not like the regular address bar size is insufficient.

I hear you. I also think framing emotions through an analogy of finance send you down the wrong path.

It requires a great deal of emotional energy to do things that are uncomfortable. And stretching yourself beyond your comfort zone as first time founder compounds the experience. But emotional “debt” cannot be paid back in the same way technical or monetary debt can be. Those are tools. Pushing yourself too hard can destroy you and your capacity to achieve your goals.

Treat your feelings more like gas in a gas tank with no gas station for 100s of miles. You can drive as fast or inefficiently as you’d like; just remember you’re walking the rest of the way.
Servlets are not in standard library (and it's not even library, it's a specification). Standard Java has HTTPURLConnection which is sometimes used and com.sun.net.httpserver which is not used by anyone. Spring is not in standard library either.

Also you forgot netty which is best Java networking library nowadays.

Java is a good example why batteries-included standard library is a bad idea. The fact that Java keeps reinventing things (Old I/O -> New I/O, Newer I/O; java.util.Date -> java.time.*; File -> Path are just a few examples) also proves that point.

Standard library must contain fundamental interfaces which are required by most libraries to interoperate with user code and with other libraries. String type is used everywhere, so standard library must contain String type, otherwise people will invent QString, CString, Glib::ustring and billion other string which do not interoperate with each other, so instead of writing useful code you'll convert one string to another. Array, Set, Map are used everywhere as well, so standard library should provide those interfaces. Filesystem paths, streams are useful. And similar things. But not big libraries like HTTP library. They should be implemented as independent projects, so the best one wins.
I think then the issue becomes what you might call differential privacy. Do the rich and powerful get to opt out? That kind of thing.
I wish average professor was like this. I guess you have to go to a fancy uni which invests some effort into getting passionate lecturers.

It's honestly easier to learn the stuff from the course material for a solid C and move on

Technically yes, NASA predates Hawaii by 13 months, but it was well on it's way to statehood by then. The statehood act passed congress in the early 1950s, before the discussions about NASA began.

> Clay observed that 20 percent of the membership turned over annually.[23]

I looked at your Twin Oaks example. They weed out slackers and drunks before they can join. Turnover is 20% per year. Evidently people like the concept of a commune much more than the reality.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin_Oaks_Community,_Virginia

https://www.cnn.com/interactive/2015/09/us/communes-american...

At least it's a better example than your Christiana one (living on stolen land and illegal trade). It also validates my point that if you want to live in a commune in America, you are free to start one. They are not illegal. Nobody is going to try and stop you. There's no need for you to agitate for them - just do it. If it's really a better and workable way of living, they'd be commonplace.

> It is not up to you to define the end-all be-all definition of a commune

I didn't define a commune. I set out quite reasonable criteria that would characterize a successful commune.

It seems to depend mostly on temperature and moisture: dry, cold, and unchanging are best. We have good DNA from Deniovans because it was recovered from bones and teeth that sat buried in a cave in Siberia for 50k years.

Being in amber might protect from moisture, but I think the temperature and temperature swings would still likely destroy it within thousands of years.
For the countries that derive benefit from the current arrangement, they would just maintain the status quo. But this gives an option to existing countries who need a cash infusion now, as well as a streamlined process for dealing with countries that no longer exist.
> A lot of people, some for good reason and some for bad, just don't trust their governments (or the media) enough

One only has to look around HN for posts about using the current crisis for various unrelated political and economic goals to understand why this might be. Why, just in the last three minutes on HN, I came across media sources advocating everything from nationalizing Amazon (now that it's "a public good" because of the crisis) to permanently banning the use of vehicles in cities (now that the crisis has shown how lovely the inner city air is when both cars and factories all stop).

Nobody's willing to let a crisis "go to waste", and so nobody trusts anybody to be giving them true information untainted by their ulterior motives.

Not trusting that the government and the media have your best interests at heart is simply being aware of how things are.

That all sounds nice in theory but in practice you cannot get access to info about top-secret infrastructure. If you don't believe me, just try it.
for the *nix among us, the equivalent is the scheduling class (SCHED_FIFO, SCHED_RR, SCHED_OTHER). A given (kernel) thread's priority only applies within its scheduling class; if there are ready-to-run threads in a higher "ranked" scheduling class, threads in the lower "ranked" classes will not run.

This is widely used when using Linux (for example) as a soft-real time system. The same basic concepts apply to macOS (since they really come from POSIX and even Mach inherited them).
In addition to long daylight periods during the growing season, you're also using soil that hasn't been farmed continuously for hundreds of years like in the mainland US, or even thousands of years like pretty much everywhere else on earth.

I'm not getting that impression. I own a .org that's neither commercial nor non-commercial; it's for my personal use and has been for the more than two decades I've owned it. Why in .org? Because .org has historically been where "not a business or one of the other domain types" has fallen.

The group's FAQ says .org was "originally intended to be run in the interests of non-commercial Internet users," which is true and, in my view, doesn't exclude individuals, even those who want to use a .org for commercial purposes. I read that statement as "we will prioritize the needs of the 'core' of .org users but everyone is welcome."

I would strongly doubt that people like Esther Dyson, Michael Roberts, and Katherine Maher got into this group to take .org domains away from individuals or to restrict individuals from using .org. Quite the opposite, I imagine; they, in my bet, want to keep it as it is now.
If they couldn't make it easier to set I think the clock should have been less prominent. It's necessary if you're doing a scheduled recording.

I'm not sure there is much coverage of that in English - from the local news, it looks like this:

- stuff gets ordered via Czech economic mission in China, communication goes by Chinese speaking Czech experts remotely, coordinating even the planes being loaded and other details

- plane lands in Pardubice/Prague/Ostrava airport

- supplies go to government stockpile in Opočník, designated as the centrail distribution point (from PRague and Ostrava I guess it might go directly to the destination sometimes, as that could be quicker that getting to Opočník & then back)

- army and firefigter transport it from the central stockpile to hispitals/care homes/minicipal offices/to army/firefighters/police who need it

I've also noticed that XFCE's handling of hotplug monitors leaves much to be desired, and it also cheerfully ignores my preference of not suspending when I close the laptop lid (so I can use only the external monitor and an external keyboard when I have it plugged into my TV). Close the lid under XFCE and "BEEP!" it goes into suspend mode instead of doing nothing.

Fortunately, Cinnamon is just an apt-get away, handles both monitor hotplugging and closing the laptop lid sanely, and works the way I expect a desktop to work. I've settled on Xubuntu+Cinnamon as my go-to when setting up a desktop or laptop.
Dictionary defines "stigma" as:

> "a mark of disgrace associated with a particular circumstance, quality, or person."

and gives the following example

> "the stigma of having gone to prison will always be with me"

This is an example of rational stigma. For example if you know someone who went to prison for robbery, they would have a rational stigma associated with them when they try to apply for a job at a bank. Not an oxymoron.

Thanks for sharing, good to put these things in perspective every now and then.
I don't see it that way at all. Grocery stores are now rationing which is fair to all consumers. If one rich person is able to buy up an entire store and then resell it, all it's done is made the food more expensive for the people, and funneled wealth towards an already wealthy person. I don't think we should advantage those types of people. Market forces seem to always benefit just a few. In all of history market forces have not resulted in an equitable situation for everyone.

C++ programmers will not switch to Rust. Most of them are older than the maximum age where you can learn new things, let alone be willing (or allowed in their company) to do so.

Rust will be most popular with those who are 18 years old now and wanting to try native programming. When you compare the two, tabula rasa, it's just a no-brainer.
I've heard that GMail has a "basic HTML mode", but I'm not sure whether that would help in this case.

>I'm saying that not identifying as a member of the group allows you to make a conscious decision on whether to continue to cooperate with a group when the goals of the group no longer are compatible with your goals. Maybe that means ending or redefining your relationship with the group

But that is still parasitic in the sense that others are, as a consequence of identifying strongly with the group, sacrificing their own personal goals in order to achieve group goals, where you are not.

>This is a particularly rich accusation coming from someone who thinks it's normal to behave out of rational self-interest. ;)

Hah, well I don't mean it as an accusation. I'm not criticizing your position on any kind of moral basis, just on a practical one.

>That's true, which is why you'd want to cooperate with groups and then exit them when they cease to be beneficial.

Sure, but the point is that if the members strongly identify as members of the group, the group will be more effective in the short term.

>To be clear, a lot of your negativity on my position seems to be from your assuming that my goals are necessarily selfish.

Well, it's more that I think your position would not end up working for most people trying to further their own self interest, so it's not rational for them to act that way. I think it is generally rational for people to make membership of certain types of groups a significant part of their self-identity.

>If you believe everyone acts only in rational self-interest

I would not make a claim like that unless "rational self-interest" was defined in such a way as to make that claim tautological and therefore uninteresting.

The biggest change in switching from software to woodworking is that when you cock things up in woodworking, you can't git reset your problems away. The closer I get to done, the more careful I get.

Is it not suitable to just put nginx at front and the app server in the back?

The same WHO whose Director had been lying about the virus because China was telling them to? On 14th of Jan, WHO tweeted that the virus doesn't transmit human to human. They ignored Taiwan's warning from December that China was lying and then later claimed they never received any warning from Taiwan (despite emails showing they did). The same WHO which claimed restricting travel was not required and ineffective. Director Tedros was elected because of hard lobbying by China. No wonder he would try to save face for China.

Tedros also tried to get Robert Mugabe as WHO's goodwill ambassador:

Can't speak for WebGL APIs, but in OpenGL (and other C++ graphics/GPGPU platforms), it is certainly possible (and necessary) to write fully interactive real-time apps that rely on a few rounds of communication between GPU and CPU code every frame. At 60 fps, you have 16 ms per frame. As long as you aren't copying huge arrays back and forth, I'd say you can budget in the 1 ms order-of-magnitude per data transfer.

I don't know much of that would be avoidable if you were actually closer to the metal than the raw OpenGL C++ API call

The title, while it is the actual title of the Nature article, is arguably linkbait.

That's a bit misleading though. Yes, C is very small - but that doesn't mean it's magically easy to understand. It's size has a huge consequence; the language doesn't do much for you, so it's up to you to fill in the gaps, e.g. correctly manage memory

Rapid iteration as a potential source of improvements is great for startups and new things in general. Word, which you teach your grandma, is NOT a startup. Startup needs to change fast or it will die, and they depend on early adopters who want something new. Word needs to think about it's huge audience that doesn't want anything to change. Remember ribbon redesign and pushback it received?

These two types of products need completely different approaches to product development. But also, don't teach your grandma Notion - Word's a much sensible option for her.

This strikes me as the wrong framing. It's more about managing your expectations and maintaining a clear-eyed view of the way forward. Life rarely goes as planned. Three rules of thumb I try to remember in a crisis or setback are Gerald Weinberg's set of Rhonda's Revelations:

What looks like a crisis is the end of an illusion.

When change is inevitable, we struggle most to keep what we value most.

When you create an illusion to prevent or soften change, the change becomes more likely--and harder to take.
> I keep finding I'm ready for 1 in 10 style events that other people don't see coming.

Surely if you’re ready for more than 10% of 1-in-10 events, your probabilities are just as wrong as other people’s; it’s just that your risk management is better.

That is why I don’t like probabilities for what are fundamentally one-off events.
