Over a decade ago, I was in the same boat. I was an Asian-American competing against high school classmates for spots at brand name university X. I had much better test scores, much harder courses, more extracurricular activities, and a higher GPA. My extracurricular activities were even "traditionally American" like varsity sports, student council, etc. I got along very well with my non-Asian peers, and many looked to me as a leader.

This name brand college, which everyone has heard of, accepted 3 inferior students, all of them belonging to better affirmative action demographics than me, none of whom had the intellect/desire to even handle AP Calculus AB. One of these students was so shocked that she took a spot at this university instead of me that she sought me out, apologized to me, and opined to me that affirmative action seems to be very unfair. Mind you, these 3 inferior students all came from well-to-do families -- 1 of them much wealthier than my own (and she was the one who apologized to me). They were not inner city kids who had to work 2 jobs while studying to stay above water -- I wouldn't have been angry if this were the case.

You've probably been raised to believe that the ranking of the college you attend is the go-to indicator of intelligence. Now you're realizing that's not really true -- at least not in America. It took me a very long time to make peace with the fact that I had believed in this falsehood all my life, fed to me by my parents and by society. But once I did, I could finally focus on improving my life and the lives of those I cared about, rather than wallowing in bitterness and resentment.

Life isn't fair. The faster you make peace with this, the better off you'll be in the long run. If you manage to keep your head on straight, you'll probably become more successful than many graduates from these universities.
It was not my intention to attack anybody but, what roenxi is saying is that, people interested in MMT (like me), is not interested in understanding how the system work, but in lying to people. So, yes, very much not cool.

People will ditch snap and they'll end up using flatpak or something else just like the rest of the world. It happened with upstart and it then it happened with mir and unity.

I uninstalled it on all my Ubuntu systems and put it on hold. No new Ubuntu installs, switched to Debian.
I've never seen this actually be a problem other than people complaining about buttons looking different.

If you are worried about the shading on your buttons then you must have had all your problems solved already.
Yes, both are good but Schiele is speaking most directly to the soul and relies less on graphical excellence and craftsmanship, although it has those, too.
> Now, this is embarassing, here the list of reverse dependencies on snapd:

Not at my computer now, but that cannot be correct. Could recommended packages be included in that list?

I did apt-purge snapd on my xubuntu 20.04 and it did not pull out anything unrelated.

When you install something later an it tries to pull in something later you can always try --no-install-recommends.

In the worst case there is eqivs https://wiki.debian.org/Packaging/HackingDependencies but it has been 3+ years that I needed to use that the last time.
> Does this new clojurescript functionality let me USE all those packages in clojurescript? What are the precise limitations?

If you use Shadow CLJSs (all-in-one tool for ClojureScript), you've been able to use NPM packages directly for many years now.

> Does this new clojurescript functionality let me CREATE new npm packages and put them on the main npm site?

Shadow CLJS also lets you create NPM packages.
> Catching this virus is a bit like playing a round of Russian roulette.

Well, the comparison is a bit unfair, recent studies [1] give : P(death | infected) = 0.05% overall which is order of magnitude less than Russian's roulette where P(death | play) = 16%

A nontrivial fraction of people form their selection when _starting to_ move their hand down the final time. It's very much possible to counter that.
Depending on what you are interested in (and where) there will be plenty of enthusiastic users willing to identify your observations. In my experience, birds will always get identified, while insects and plants will only sometimes register interest from others. I think it's because bird watching is a popular hobby, while entomologists tend to be a rarer breed.
There’s not enough consumable tests, and there is currently no installed base of surface plasmon resonance machines, nor any of the other myriad types of constant-monitoring systems that have actually been proven to work for many years now in high-risk facilities (I developed some for the government 15 years ago and it wasn’t new).

If you want my opinion, the right way to approach this is using the consumable tests to maximum effect for mass viral surveillance by contact group hierarchies. For instance, pool an entire school district on a single test, and then hunt down positives by school then class etc. There won’t be enough tests to find every case. That’s okay; others in contact are suspect anyway even if their test would have been negative at that time. The contact group discovery is simple too: cell tower data (civil liberties notwithstanding).

This is pretty obvious, but it doesn’t work because our medical system is set up to charge individuals, and the highest priority will always be hospital admittances. This does little for the patient, but does protect others in the hospital.
It probably didn't happen but i like the story anyway.
That is a very good point. And it reminds me how you can do gradual releases when you only have one installation: you do it on a per-user basis, using feature flags. If it's only the logic behind an existing interface, you can implement both the old logic and the new logic and choose between them based on a feature flag.
Virtualbox is very good IMHO. Vmware also has a similar product.
Especially the overloaded ".". Apart from usage as a decimal point and elipsis, where it's obvious, what are the overloaded cases?

I wouldn’t care at all if they took a year off. Not one bit. I don’t particularly care about gaps in employment either. I only use college degree as a filter, because if I don’t I end up with a landslide of unqualified applicants to sort through. I haven’t found that with gap periods so far.

I don’t actually expect quality to go down from online offerings. I’ll be keeping an eye on it though, for sure.
Whilst we're speaking philosophy... I think Pliny's "sutor, ne ultra crepidam" ("shoemaker, not beyond the shoe") might be the quip to match your comment.

Not a real solution, but you can assign new values to argv/argc to hide things from ps.

With Perl, for example, assign to $0.

$0="what /bin/ps will see";
Is this likely? Clojurescript comes with a pretty big base bundle size due to the runtime, right? Like hello world is still over 100kb or something before gzip, right? (On my phone, so it’s hard to google the exact number.)
I hope they will target the maker/hacker space like the raspberry pi did. So long as they keep their design and ambitions in check, they should be able to grow slowly over time with additional interest with each new improved version.

The need is not going away anytime soon. I generally like what Apple and Google have done for the mobile phone market, but it’s time for folks to take back some control of their devices which the execs will likely not agree to.

The radios are too locked down and the software too. Despite good intentions, I’m concerned this gatekeeping could become corrupted/corrupting in the future.

If you support the rough and tumble world of open source and systems, you’ll plant a seed that a future generation can grow and compete with gatekeepers. This may reduce the corrupting forces from the gatekeepers. They could point to open systems and say, “Look government, your plan won’t work because 3% use an unrestricted phone, and more will follow if you force us to do X to everyone’s phone.”

Ask HN: Making money teaching Programming online
There are a lot of people who just need the initial push to plunge head first into programming.
i.e Learning Git. Using the right editor. Learning basic concepts. They just need the right amount of help to get them done with a basic first project.

Let's say you have 25 people interested in learning Python from you. 1 hour a week each Sunday for 10 weeks. i.e around 2 months should be enough.

If you charge just $250 per student. If you take 25 students per cohort and you take in 4 cohorts every 2 months, you make 4 * 6 * 25 * 250 = $150,000 for less than 10 hours of work.
I don’t know. Having used both, JS to CLJS was a much easier transition for me than JS to Reason. CLJS makes mutation pretty trivial if the thing you’re operating on is a JS object.

I agree with basically everything said in the post. I also don’t believe any sane and experienced software professional would disagree with any point made here.

I think the point is to strive to satisfy ease of usability and function for the highest percentage of users possible. If you have multiple personas of users who use your application, the amount of time you spend with the R&D of the UX to satisfy each persona should likely be proportional to the percentage of revenue each persona brings in.

I’m a backend developer who is pretty awful at developing good UIs, but damn I appreciate a good one when it comes along and feel like the part of the brain that’s used to build a very solid UI is a special one that not many people have developed.

I wonder what these bamboo paper products are actually made of. Because bamboo fabric is actually rayon and may not be great for the environment. A better comparison would be with normal washable cloths.
So that's why that happened.

Typographically, I don't think you can compare the visual effect of an extra period in properly rendered right-justified text with the effect when it's buried in the usual ragged-right default on the web.

In the early 90s most monitors didn't have the resolution to handle full justification without making it look like crap.

In theory it would have been helpful if there had been enough foresight to consider the situtation >20 years later. Because those neat margins look really nice.

In practice full justification would have used significantly more memory and processor power and would have been much slower. So although it's a shame we ended up with ragged right as the default, it's only become practical to consider high quality implementations - not just budget hacks - of more polished formatting in the last few years or so.
Thank you! I did, but it didn't get much traction, since Show HNs can be a bit of a lottery! After a fairly slow start, we're doing quite well in the UK now (7 figure MRR after 3 years).

There have been many attempts but all were failures because they never got any traction or the people behind them couldn't manage what they were making or both. One of my favorites is GCW Zero [0], great little MIPS-based handheld running Linux and easy to port stuff to it (it has SDL, OpenGL and other stuff available out of the box), except... there was some Kickstarter drama or whatever (i think the original Chinese manufacturer screwed up) which had the maker (who was from UK i think) being attacked by everyone and he couldn't handle it so he disappeared from the internet from basically the beginning and only communicated updates, etc, very sporadically and only through others. And for pretty much the entirety of its existence it was incredibly hard to find units to buy (people were importing units from anywhere and they'd quickly sold out to the few distributors that managed to get units). Both of these basically killed the project despite being a great device.

And of course there was the whole OUYA circus - the device was ok (the controller had some connectivity issues but those were fixed later) but the company's communication was atrocious. OUYA was the first "android microconsole" and the last time developers actively targeted these "consoles" and used their branding as an official target, something that not even Nvidia (for Shield) and Amazon (for Fire TV) managed to do despite being much bigger companies, yet they pissed everyone and everything away with their incompetence.

But the main thing you need for any of these is to get it in front of people (or at their hands for the handhelds). You wrote that "Raspberry Pi is not it", but IMO it is by far the closest to "it" because of its sheer volume of sales. All it needs is some form of standard for developers to target and users to easily set up and perhaps some (optional) dressing from whoever comes up with the standard. I haven't seen anything like that though, the closest is RetroPie but that is for emulators and what i'm thinking is for running native ARM games.

Just a warning: Virtualbox with hard drive files on an external USB hard disk has been broken for me on Catalina on my both of my Mac Minis (late 2012, 2018) and iMacs (late 2012, mid 2017).

That particular functionality worked fine on Mojave.

It works fine as long as I keep my VDI files on my system drive, but that can be a pain since they're so large.
I make a 1 litre cafetière of coffee most days, which makes three mugs of coffee. I use about 50g - 60g coffee per cafetière. I have a Bodum Columbia which is insulated to help keep the coffee hot for a couple of hours. And I try not to have more caffeine after my morning coffee.
Three hyphens is a lot. I would have said it was more common to just use one hyphen for what should properly be an en-dash (which most people don't use) and two hyphens for an em-dash with or without spaces to separate from the surrounding words.

It is expected, and it is almost everywhere. If I go to China, Korea, or Japan, I'll be really disadvantaged because of my cultural background, much more so than in America. In India and some parts of Africa, I'll actually have an advantage because of the biases there.

But that doesn't mean it's good. OP ought to be able to find a job based on their skills, not based on their culture. And people should have enough cross-cultural competency to be able to adapt to a manager or employee with a subtly or significantly different cultural background.

It's especially not good in America, which has an identity as a melding pot, and where most people are either immigrant or of immigrant descent of some sort (except those whose ancestors crossed over the Bering Straight).

As a footnote, every single one of my comments in this thread was "cancelled" (many downvotes, without any constructive comments, most likely by someone with multiple accounts or with bots).

Shipping LLVM bitcode is mandatory for the AppStore, Apple can then compile that bitcode to binaries for different hardware.

That's why if you are shipping code to the AppStore, you probably don't really care whether Apple uses x86, ARM, RiscV, powerpc, or all of them in different devices. Producing working binaries becomes Apple's job.

I’ve seen TRLs used in tech transfer offices and engineering departments in academia; NIH and NSF (usually associated with SBIR programs) as well as the DoE; in medical device and pharma manufacturing; and in life science VC groups. In private companies and VCs I’ve heard it used most in management and BD contexts. I think TRLs can provide a useful second axis to the more common clinical or regulatory development staging.

A random thought: to protect their upper class interests, they cannot admit that it's a class issue. Calling it a race-issue instead (and doing something that has proven useless) shifts the debate.

How’s the bundle size coming along? Also, I’m curious what back end most of you are using? Node with CLJS, Clojure with???, Elixir, etc?

I’m spinning up a small side project, and started it out with vanilla JS and Node. Bundle sizes are tiny, startup times are fast, lots of concurrent connections, etc... But I really don’t enjoy the ecosystem or language, so am probably going to port it over to Clojure. Clojure has spoiled me. :/

Is the dot a period at the end of a sentence? In that case, there should be an m-space following the period, and line breaks are allowed after the period. Is the dot an abbreviation of an honorific (e.g. Mr. So-and-so)? In that case, there should only be an n-space, and line breaks between the honorific and the name should be forbidden. Is the dot an abbreviation of a unit (e.g. 3 lb.)? In that case, the period may or may not also indicate the end of a sentence, and should have an m-space or n-space depending on which it is.

While I think the typesetting software should be smart enough to distinguish these cases on its own, like LaTeX does, the parent's point is that the user can add extra information in the form of double spacing to indicate what length of space is appropriate.
Quotation marks are particularly overloaded (and arguably overused). They can mean:

- A literal quote from somebody

- A way to indicate so-called, a term of art, etc.

- Scare quotes

- Certain titles, e.g. TV episodes

I just watched that video. Fascinating. Of course it means if the other person is playing the strategy, then you want to play the strategy to beat that strategy, which is just as simple. But if they realise you are doing that they might switch to the one that beats the one that beats the one. I guess it gets a bit like poker where you are trying to appear "loose" then suddenly play tight or whatever.

I was wondering how a human can generate random numbers while playing. One way could be if you can hear your heart beat, the number of beats between plays mod 3 would allow you to play randomly enough to throw off your opponents strategy.

You could also memorise a recently generate sequence of random numbers!
