Yeah I can totally see where you're coming from. I go (went?) to a STEM high school and since I'd already been coding for a while at that point I basically had the same attitude and then AP Computer Science ended up being one of my harder classes.
I might be reading this incorrectly, but I always thought that the small came from the detergent having not been fully washed off the clothes. Which is why if you use too much detergent your clothes become stiff, due to the dried detergent.

Then again, clothes seem to smell vastly different when they dry quickly out in the open sun as opposed to when they dry slowly.

That's great for Pinebook company but why is it good for their customers?

The main thing I see is that it enabled a $200 laptop which is amazing (except for the dodgy keyboard and trackpad undermining it)
but it bootstraps k3s, which is k8s .. but 5 lighter. (why 5? no idea.) so it's "k3s up".
You responded to this better than I did.

Coordinating output in a single industry is orders of magnitude less complex than doing so across a large country, or all of the EU.
That seems overblown. Would you ever ride in a car with a driver that might sacrifice the lives of everyone in the car to save 1,000 people?

I suspect that lots of people have actively made decisions while driving their own car that endangers their own life in order to potentially save the life of someone else.

Wasn't the last publicly-released version of Arc even stranger, with everything being a GET request and links containing a URL parameter that corresponded to a Lisp closure? I'd be interested in hearing some more up-to-date information about how HN is hosted and works today.
You’re totally entitled to feel that way but I personally think the social pressure to work yourself harder than necessary is just plain wrong. I know that’s not a popular opinion here and that was my point.

I met so many people while earning my degree that were stricken with anxiety about making the “wrong” choices. Often times these people ended up suffering by spreading themselves thin and ultimately accomplishing less than they would have otherwise.

"But if you engage with those organizations’ ideologues, it often doesn't take long for the mask to come off, and for the person to admit that he/she wishes for non-traditional art to disappear entirely."

Not only that, but they often seem to be engaged in a larger cultural war where making art great again is just one front.
I actually wrote an even better way to do this, since my build system drops network access after downloading SHA-256 validated source (to ensure that source can't go out and fetch more things during build):

Luckily I went to a really hard high school. I breezed through middle school and then completely flunked freshman year so I learned my lesson early.

I'm 100% sure that if I had not gone to such a hard high school I would've completely ignored your advice and failed at least a semester of college.

I'm not sure whether my math at HS was good or during my higher edu it was shitty, but what do you actually mean by "think in a new way"?

I don't see big difference between e.g math analysis in college and advanced math in HS. Except ofc complexity of concepts and tricks used there.

Only graph theory looks relatively different to that.
I think this is a valuable thing for a team to think about and understand. However, I don't agree that if someone's ranking of these values differs from others on the team that means that someone should leave.

As I see it, finding ways to accommodate the different goals, outlooks, and personalities that make up the team is one of the team leader's responsibilities. After all, there's not really much need for leadership if everyone is the same.
The word “bankrupt” comes from the process of ritually breaking said benches of a merchant who couldn’t make due on their debts.
> not 'French', Norman was a sister to Old French that looks more like Vulgar Latin

I mean, at that point in time it might as well be "French", right? Obviously not modern French, but an ancestor (or uncle?) thereof.

I've done quite a bit of (amateur/casual) reading into the histories of English and Norse languages, but the Norman part I haven't exactly dug into yet (beyond exactly how it influenced modern English and induced a lot of the differences from Old and Middle English) so now my curiosity's a bit piqued.
What does asymmetry achieve? Intel/AMD can downclock themselves.
Right, so why do they treat their customers who make them their money with such disrespect? You won’t even allow me to pay for my own fucking ad slots to get you out of my computer? Seems like... not very neighborly behavior.

Anyway you can see the lack of “support” with the black hole they call end-user product feedback.
Having a 15" and a 16" (work and personal), I can tell you it's night and day on the 16" with a physical esc key and good keyboard. I haven't once wanted to hurl the 16" into the sea :)
Yeah I've recently been trying leetcode and codeforces and I'm way worse at it than I'd expected. It's fun though, so I'm working hard to improve.

Thanks for your advice!
Maybe. Or maybe the idea of having this great product and launching it puts you too far from your customer.

My route was to build a MMVP, get one person to pay for it, and iterate over and over adding more paying customer. There was no magic launch day, just a few more paying customers every day/week/month. There was no marketing for the first year outside of happy customers telling their friends.

This was obviously easier as B2B. It would be harder to do a marketplace or something this way...
Absolutely. I cannot stand these abbreviations, because they are optimizing for ease of typing rather than ease of reading.
That's the cost for NASA. It's the price that SpaceX charges.

There's a massive margin on that price, which allows them to fund their other developments such as the Starlink and Starship.
Because the result is a lot more ugly.

Don't tell people what not to do. Figure out why they're doing it, and provide what they actually want while still achieving the goals (here: security).

Very coarse mosaic, add noise, then blur seems reasonably safe, and doesn't have to look like crap.
> If you are using proprietary to mean 'consumer-hostile', use a better phrase.

I'm not - I'm using it to mean non-standard and specific to an individual vendor. I can use my Apple USB-C charger to charge anything accepting USB-C, which is most things these days. I can't use my Dell laptop charger to charge anything except a Dell laptop. That's what I mean by proprietary.
> that impacts those who may have no influence on the situation

It puts a strong incentive on those to take responsibility for their coworkers. To cultivate a culture of integrity, through interactions, through hiring and firing, through setting an example for those you lead. Cops love to talk about having each other's backs; let's see them put those words into action where it counts.

The trolley problem in regards to autonomous cars is a total sideshow when the cars we do have cant reliably tell people from bicycles from other cars.

Its often used as a sort of backdoor to squeeze in the argument that we should let X people die to autonomous cars because in the future they will definitely be safer, for sure. (some very shaky priors there)

These arguments are usually introduced with massive assumptions about the applicability and reliability of statistics gathered from cars that basically give up when even slightly challenged with anything remotely ambiguous or difficult (how many people live where there is perfect weather almost every day?), and then are applied to the entire gambit of circumstances human drivers deal with every day, by the millions.
I did not read your last paragraph that way. With this explanation I totally understand your advice now. I had friends who seemed dead set on finding a girlfriend as priority number one. I even had multiple friends express their jealousy to my face that I had found a person to love and they hadn't. I wanted to smack those friends and say "just live your life man! There's nothing stopping you from being happy except yourself."

The FOMO is real and I think your advice is great.
Weird. While you could copy that from the SliceTricks Go wiki page, you could also just use `sort.Sort(sort.Reverse())` which seems to address all of your complaints.
Canada's prime minister started out with shaggy hair. It occasionally gets mentioned that it's growing back again. It seems to have shocked people when he first took the reins, and he got a hair cut. But they don't seem anywhere near as shocked and appalled by it this time around.

My SO got a kick out of Joy Behar complaining on The View that she is wholly incapable of doing her own hair and makeup properly, so she looks a little less glamorous these days.

Late night TV shows are looking a lot more like YouTube video series. They lost their live audiences, but now look a whole lot more like their competitors.

I think a lot of this is going to be the new norm.

I've read through that course!

Luckily I accidentally installed Ubuntu when I was in 6th grade because I read it would give me higher fps in Minecraft and it had an exe installer so I didn't realize it was a whole OS. I've been Linux only since then and learned all the other stuff there as a result
Most of early CS is struggling through math. Take the courses, but I would recommend you look into Khan Academy or some other mastery-based tutorials (mastery is when you acre able to answer enough questions with accurate answer, only then do you move onto the next section). If you assume that just because you got a C that you can forget a topic (especially the early concepts), you will get bitten later.

Make friends with other students in your department. Engineering students tend to forget that humans are valuable resources, just like computers are.

Lots of programming (not necessarily CS) is "learn by doing". You will need to spend time struggling with a compiler/interpreter -- you can't substitute this by reading a book. You are lucky that they are much more mature and at least a little more user-friendly than when I started. Finding enjoyable programming projects which are not too easy nor too difficult will help you hone your skills/craft.

I would highly recommend you ignore your "cowboy" instincts once you get decent at writing code and learn Test Driven Development (where you think about what your function/class should do early and write unit tests before you write any code). This will help you think more about how your code should be structured.

Learn to use your tools. In computer science, there is always someone with a better (eg. more optimized/ergonomic) tool set. Occasionally seek to break out of your comfort zone and seek to change your editor/IDE, your keyboard, your window manager, browser extensions, macros, etc. If you start and stick with a really basic setup for too long, more efficient programmers will get progressively more efficient and you won't increase your efficiency.

Not specific to CS: Lots of people are willing to help you for free -- you just have to be brave enough to ask. I'm not talking about doing your homework for you. I mean help as in mentor or lend you a couch to stay on or a few bucks if you are hungry. The older I get, the more I see people who are worthy of assistance be too prideful to ask for it.

Good luck!
(delta author here) Line numbers have been added to delta in a contributed PR: https://github.com/dandavison/delta/pull/190. It will merge soon and be in the next release.

And we have an open issue for side-by-side view: https://github.com/dandavison/delta/issues/86. I definitely plan to get to it!

The next release of delta will also provide diff-so-fancy and diff-highlight emulation modes. See https://github.com/dandavison/delta/issues/205
There just seems to be a misunderstanding on the intention of a though experiment here. There is a subtle implication that because the thought experiment is "contrived" that its less valuable.

When thinking about philosophy, a core part of philosophy is to reduce concepts, ideas, or beliefs into abstractions (or a "spirit" or "essence" of what their intention is), the thought experiment presents itself as a perfectly useful tool to help challenge those concepts.

Ethics is not about absolutes, but really about sussing out where gray areas exist in what some might believe are black and white situations. Additionally, most of the scenarios are presented as a thought experiment, because conducting a real experiment with those conditions would be wildly _un_ethical.

How are we supposed to determine the nuance of valuing human life if we were bound to doing actual experiments? Also, who in their right mind would conduct such as experiment?

Testbot, you are also relatively new to this community. It is very different and the best experiment into a social comment platform that actually works and brings greater knowledge and understanding to it's members, by it's members.

HN is helpful, contemplative, and the best place I know to have civil discussions about the taboo. ( http://www.paulgraham.com/say.html )

PG's essays are highly recommended and his thoughts have to some extent helped define this community.

The articles available on their site seem to all be opinion columns, not news?
How would that differ, functionally, from what we have now? Clearly a prosecutor can already bring charges when a cop steps over the line. Assuming that "line" wouldn't change, how does that differ from qualified immunity? I'm honestly asking here, because I'm not a huge fan of QI but I don't see a good alternative.
I guess it depends on who owns it, and whether or not it counts as a private home (and to be clear, nationalization in and of itself wouldn't run afoul of it, since the amendment is limited in scope to quartering of troops in a private residence without the actual residents' consent). It'd get even fuzzier if different people "own" different modules (so the military could perhaps occupy some shared corridors, but if people have attached their own modules as homes, then those would be off-limits for quartering).

Realistically, maritime law might be a better reference, given that space stations and other spaceships are informally (if not formally) referred to as "ships".
It’s not just philosophy. So much of economics education is getting students to narrow their vision down to the something that somebody else wants them to see. Force the assumptions on people and then tell them how smart they are when they draw the inevitable conclusions. It’s a trap. Normal people forget about the assumptions and walk away believing the conclusions. It’s a technique for reshaping people’s intuitions.
Retirees are not the coworkers, they are already out of the system. You’re shifting risk from current employees to past employees unless you pursue an insurance model, which is intended to do precisely what you describe: pool and price risk, both individually and collectively, among active law enforcement.
I see it the same, but I recognize it is going to annoy a lot of people to say so out loud.

Warning: cynicism ahead.

A lot of art seems about being in the "in group", so you can show your sophistication by appreciating things that others don't get. It's not so different from liking certain genres of music that strike the rest of us and just being borderline-offensive noise. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2DsGleQsaU )

I'll give him this, I admire the fact that he was able to convince someone somewhere to give him the money to do these things. But I'm sure there are a huge number of artists that would do more interesting things with the kind of resources these things take. To me they are from the school of art that says that the more audacious and obnoxious something is, the better. The goal seems to be to get people to think about the question "what is art?", which to me is a rather boring semantic question that I don't want to waste a lot of time thinking about. Sorry.

Honestly, I'd have a lot more appreciation of this sort stuff if those who put it out there presented it with a bit of an evil grin, rather than with an air of smugness and pretension.
This is a great time to be in school and make as many friends as you can—networking has paid off far more than attending class did (though I am very grateful I showed up to my algorithms and theory classes).
USB-C seems superior because every desk that I ever sit at already has a USB-C charger, plus another in my backpack, and compatibility with portable power banks.

Granted I haven’t ever had to implement it, but I think you’re underselling its benefits.
It's interesting to compare the present issues with policing with those of about a month ago:

https://twitter.com/TyreeBP/status/1256813343764918272

Granted, the number of people is ~100x different. Still, examples like the tweet above illustrate that the needed 'self control' has existed within about a pay-period or two.
I was in just such a conversation the other day, where we were discussing the implications of the second amendment with regards to tyranny in the US. A participant would not allow the conversation to continue without a description of how tryanny would take hold, and no hypothetical was realistic enough. They could not have brought the conversation to a halt faster if it were deliberate. Ultimately, they didn't agree with the point (which was sound) because they believe that our "democracy" is sufficient to prevent tyranny now and forever.

The point of discussions about scenarios whose parameters cannot be known is to find a useful way to elide the unknowns and come to conclusions that we can agree to and understand. Failing to see the forest for the trees is not a problem with the exercise; it's a problem with the participant.
The key to doing this is to look at the economics: is it possible for my customer to pay me what I want to be paid?

This even applies internally, if your customers are other parts of your company.

MaxCompensation = UnitValue * NumberOfUnits

In tech companies, NumberOfUnits is commonly one million+.

In non-tech companies... it's much less.

So either deliver more value (petrogeology simulations!) or work for a specialized company that services multiple clients (healthcare software!). Be aware the former can be morally onerous, and the latter craven to protect their (relatively few) key clients.

That said, if done right, I find it way more interesting. Solving problems in {x field} with software means you get to learn about {x field} and software!

Just be sure to self-motivate on keeping your skills up to date. It's easy to get complacent and rust, given there's not the same competitive tech pressure (for better and worse).
If I see someone chasing another down with a quote, "large sword", then they turn and start running at me with this sword, I am sure that in that moment I would be afraid for my life. I think many if not most agree deadly force can be used in direct defense of your own life.

WaPo especially, and NYT too, is mostly opinion and human interest commentary about how people feel, not hard news. It's exhausting to try to wade through it to find real reporting and investigations.
I get why they do it (readers are dumb, mostly), but they don't even offer a "news" section.
Where was all of these statements when Kaepernick was trying to bring issues about police misconduct to the forefront peacefully? He was calling the him a “son of a bitch”.

You noticed he never called White guys storming into state capital with guns “thugs”. Even after they basically forced the government to shut down out of fear.

I'm 43 now and working like 23 years in IT in various roles. Started a few companies and did that all on a high school diploma. One of my dreams is when I retire to finally go to university and get a proper degree.This more for emotional sentiment.

My grandfather was a (fighter)pilot and later he worked senior management at a bank. His biggest regret was not going to uni himself(poor parents and the army paid for it), later that my mum didn't go uni (she became a teacher) and after that even his grandson didn't get a degree.

Hopefully I can follow it online and I can speed up the lectures to 1,75x :d
It's not a "board" though. It's the entire reporting staff.
I sorta wonder if this can be generalized to, say, some number of oscillators (i.e. if there's three in the synth then extra three in the model are considered disabled and we have a subspace of parameters), and to a bunch of common parameters like wave shapes, ADSR, the algo, the LFO. Because I noticed DX7 patches available on the web, but my particular DAW ain't got six oscillators and I can't even imagine what to do with that many of them.

(Though personally I don't believe that we should accelerate the exhaustive search on the musical space, but the geek in me can't help pondering about this.)
Be prepared to accept that you might not actually like CS, and there could be something else that really takes your fancy.
