> it would ‘tax’ house owners less than renters

It would tax house owners less than people who had same amount of money but didn't buy house and kept money in bank. If both house owner and renter had $1000 in bank, they would lose the same.

I am sorry if it seems like that.

I was trying to emphasise concentration on and learning from the simple things in life (eg sparrows, sunshine, plant life) whilst controlling what your mind feeds on.

If I were to go live in a tent in a remote field, the only things I would have to focus on and enjoy would be these things (wildlife, nature) and would not be aware of all the other terrible things. I do not see how you could live more simply.

I do not think appreciation of nature and choosing what to feed your mind on is a goal exclusive to sheltered privileged individuals, since these skills are common to all mankind.
Interestingly enough they are already blocking these attacks for background requests, see https://github.com/chromium/chromium/blob/83.0.4103.53/third...

Perhaps they simply forgot to cover also the WebSockets case, or the discussion on the related bug was not allowing for expanding the coverage.
Some more fun facts:

Back then my best stock was CIM (still alive as of today) as it moved very slowly during the day. I was only good at scalping i.e. you add liquidity on both sides of the trade and hopefully they got filled at the same time, a bit like market making but in reality not the same.

CIM was really suitable for scalping at that time and I was really good at it, so they raised my limit to 10 or 20 hands per trade (you start from 1 hand and gradually move up), but then they told me that CIM was pretty much capped around 10/20K per trade so I need to learn other techniques. I tried some momentum trading but lost all the $$ I won so I quit after a few months.

I still remember they told us that I need to find something that has at least 1 million per day and less than $10 while moving slowly during the day, so that the liquidity is good and we don't lose much if a trend hit. I also noticed that whenever my order got filled quickly I was on the wrong side of the trade, so I learned a bit about tape reading and improved my revenue. The other stock I traded was NLY but I lost badly on that one.

Many coping methodologies have been described here, and the role of religion and spirituality has been scientifically studied to (in the general case) help with depression [1]

While I can advocate for the Christian worldview, religions and spirituality in general have advocated for 'giving up control or acknowledging the lack of control' as one primary tool. The religions differ on who to give control to, who is in control, etc.

However one approaches it, if one is able to find purpose in something larger than himself ( or fake it till you get there), it keeps you moving one day at a time.

When one is at the end of his rope, the belief that there is a more powerful person in control and watching for you, it brings immense relief. Now, this is the belief that one must get ( and this is where the community around him is best positioned to help)

However, there is really an important and subtle set of concepts to grasp in order to actually understand Nix, and not just mess around with a package manager tool incidentally built with it. It's fine to not understand them, but they are what this article tries to explain.
Nix and Guix are the next generation of package management.

Nix is more idiosyncratic, since Guix usies S-expression syntax.

Also, Guix is free software, with everything that entails.

Meritocracy does not "reward" wealth, beauty or other social advantages (except to the extent that humans will tend to reward those things under any social arrangement whatsoever); it rewards people who make consequential decisions, and are thereby held responsible for those choices. The ideal is that there has to be some sort of flip side to every "reward", so that the arrangement is socially beneficial to all parties.

The use of the obscure word "solidus" instead of "slash" for the character "/" is absurd. The term "slash" should at least be a formal alias, if it isn't already. This text seems to imply it's not a formal alias, but maybe it is.

After all, the POSIX standard includes slash as a name for the character, and that an ISO standard: https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/
What's more, Unicode refers to "\" as "backslash".

Very weird.

What exactly? The only performant way to expose GPUs to guests while still allowing them to be used by the host (or multiple guests) for GPUs that don't have hardware support for partitioning themselves (ie. pretty much all discrete GPUs) is to replicate the ioctl layer from the host up into the guest. Any other solution is a non starter if you care about getting the perf you'd expect from the paravirtualized GPU.

Ask HN: Is there a static site generator that supports [[wikilinks]]?
I've been testing a new markdown editor called "Obsidian.md" recently. In Obsidian you can use [[]] to create links between notes, just like a wiki, however this is different from the standard link forming syntax in markdown. Thus, when uploading the markdown files to a static site, the [[]] will be broken if not converted. I wonder if there is a static site generator out there that has a out of box support for [[]] links. If not, anyone interested in making one? I'm pretty sure this is going to have a market with the new trend of bi-directional linking tools.

Thanks!

I don't think this part of the analogy is accurate. There are no "authorized personnel only" ports

The first half of the analogy is good though.
> Clear communication has nothing to do with sales

It certainly does. It produces the best kind of sales - transactions that work well for buyer and seller.

I asked the prof who taught my accounting class about his career in used car sales. He said you could tell a good dealer from bad by how long he'd been in business.

I've moved around Seattle a bit. I only deal with one agent now, because she's honest and reliable, and I recommend her to anyone who asks. Real estate agents rely heavily on recommendations from satisfied customers.

> Real problems and real solutions are motivated by more complex worldviews than “profit good”.

I'm pointing out that the path to great profits is not by lying - it's by building a track record of satisfied customers. And that's how the best salesmen operate.

Consider insurance salesmen. I gave all my insurance business to one Charles Kern, who was very old school in that he always personally went way out of his way to take good care of all my insurance needs, including claims. His prices were higher, but were damn well worth it. I was very sad when he passed away, and have not found another agent since who was like him, and I'm correspondingly less loyal to them.

I have a similar relationship with my business accountant, who I've been using for 35 years. He's expensive, but he's earned my loyalty and I don't hesitate to recommend him to others. (And I started doing business with him from a recommendation by a friend of mine.)

And that's darn good salesmanship.

There are so many SOC boards that pretend that they are Raspberry Pi rivals. If they are double the price, and consume more than twice the power (the one listed takes 12V instead of 5V power supply), and more than double the footprint size in area (same length, almost triple the width), then of course they will have better performance for those things that aren't even Raspberry Pi targets. They are not rivals because they aren't even directed at the same market.

There are many actual rivals, in the same price range, in the same performance range, same power economy, same relative footprint size, targeting the same audience. But this one isn't one.

Having said all that, I might actually get one if the price is reasonable.

> Fine tuning a vanilla language model on a giant corpus of code feels like a dead end for the field, long-term. It seems obvious to me that humans are doing something more than just statistical pattern recognition and generation when we write and reason about code.

Yeah, this is the main reason why I would be interested in more examples. But, if this thing was trained on all of GitHub, I could imagine that it come up with decent-looking code for a lot of examples; a beefy, smarter Google with some rudimentary contextual understanding, if you will. Still, the presence of any mistakes is a no-go and I'd be really interested how it reacts to more realistic, specific requirements.

But yeah, I'd figure a model for code generation would have to have some kind of knowledge of syntax and semantics, rather than doing pure statistical pattern matching, to be of any real use. It would not only have to generate, but also to debug its code (I wonder whether you could do that purely with statistical pattern recognition). I might be wrong, of course, but I would be surprised if that is enough to write complex code.

Control flow is hard to describe visually. Think about how often we write conditions and loops.

That said - working with data is an area that lends itself well to visual programming. Data pipelines don’t have branching control flow and So you’ll see some really successful companies in this space.

The only downside I've found with Elixir is that because of the language and runtime internals, it doesn't really lend itself to power serverless/lambda functions (like Python, Ruby, Go, etc).
Or, how many telecoms or ISPs you have to choose from in your area? How many banks? Very few, and at least where I live, every one has sketchy people doing sales (particularly over the phone). You can only jump around so much, I bet it averages out for everyone - for each customer telecom A loses because of sketchy sales tactics, it gains a different one that run away from the sketchy sales tactics of telecom B. Meanwhile, they keep pushing win-lose deals on people and rake in the profits.

Here's an incomplete list where I've seen dishonest sales, and expect that the entire market category is thoroughly corrputed by such:

- Cases where you buy something very rarely (like cars or houses).

- Cases where there isn't much choice in the first place (banks, telecoms, ISPs, but also SaaS products).

- Cases where there is a steady flow of new customers, and repeat ones are unlikely (lots of e-commerce, in particular on big e-commerce platforms).
Everyone is locked up at home with their phone at the moment.

So current TikTok trends may be atypical.
C array access syntax is just syntactic sugar for pointer arithmetic. The array decays to a pointer so `t[i]` is interpreted as:

*(t + i)

So you can see how swapping that around to `i[t]` is effectively the same operation:

*(i + t)

Postel's Law in Development
Printing money causes "inflation" [1].
This effect is lessened in chronically-low inflation environments (like our current one) [2].
In situations where demand is artificially low (like lockdown), and therefore will broadly bounce back when allowed to, you can print a lot without that inflation [3].

[1] = Printing money creates additional dollars in circulation without increasing the supply of goods those dollars are chasing. If you imagine adding a zero to every dollar simultaneously (aka 10x the money supply), without actually creating anything new, after a brief period of adjustment all goods would essentially just add a zero onto their cost to find equilibrium. This is "inflation" in effect. In practice though, people tend to just print 1.1x what they printed yesterday ad infinitum, and so this effect compounds (aka "runaway inflation") and you end up like Zimbabwe with wheelbarrows full of worthless cash.

[2] = Currently, price rises (relative to a dollar) have been steady in aggregate, aka "chronic low inflation". This is a subject of economic debate as to why, but suffice it to say that is where we are and thus there appears to be "slack" in the currency to print a little more without runaway inflation.

[3] = Usually demand suffers a sort of chronic shock as part of a recession or depression. In these cases you can expect it to be depressed next year too, which means investment is useless and thus the cycle of depression lasts and causes a feedback loop. In such a situation, printing additional cash is very inflationary because the supply of goods being sought by those additional dollars is depressed and the supply chains and required demand to justify creating them is not there.
In today's world the US economy was broadly fantastic until five minutes ago, and provided this lockdown doesn't last too much longer (flushing out a lot of small business and causing cascading failure), the underlying conditions will remain ripe for growth soon, and thus the newly-printed dollars can reliably chase future goods that are forthcoming.
I am also hedging my hopes of this working on "more realistic" scenarios. It does produce code that looks natural to us, but i expect it to show clear "seams" where its understanding of something isn't deep enough.

But maybe this is just a question of how much compute (and network size/"depth") you invest. On a certain level we're also just some recurrent LSTM :)
