> if we really needed to made pyramids in the same way, we'd figure it out.

We've been trying to figure it out for a century and still haven't. Why do you think we could now?

Same with the engines. We've been trying to make an F-1 for over a decade. In 2013 they even tore one down to figure out how it was made [0]. They still haven't figured it out.

I've seen a troll account on Parler. The account name referenced a prominent conservative pundit's anatomy in a diminutive way.

We'll see how long Parler remains "unbiased".
I recently got into one of FAANG & the following are the steps I took to get there:

- Create a study curriculum.

- Each topic in the study curriculum should contain both reading & practice material.

- The reading material tells you about the data structure or algorithm and practice lets your reinforce what you just read.

- Spread this over a long period of time say 6 months.

- Practice everyday, I cannot emphasise this enough.

- Limit to about 2-3 hours a day.

- Give mock job interviews weekly or bi-weekly. See https://www.pramp.com

- Be kind to yourself these questions are hard on purpose.

You will notice a gradual improvement in your problem solving skill and general knowledge about the problem space. You might even begin to enjoy it (that's what happened to me). Diving blindly into just solving problems is a poor strategy. The key is balancing reading & understanding the data structure or algorithm with solving actual problems.
Your demo is giving me a 404. Can you provide another one? Looks interesting.
"They believe USSR won WW2 by itself"

Considering that about 80% of German losses happened on the Eastern front, this isn't far from the truth.

Meanwhile, the White House claims that the war was won by the US and the GB [0]. And the US embassy in Denmark 'inadvertently' claims that Auschwitz was liberated by the Americans.[1]

> I'm not interested in companies that do alternatives to coding interviews as they generally pay significantly worse than what I'm expecting, but whenever I do Leetcode problems I frequently dive into the depths of depression and self-harm

Maybe getting a lower salary is very well worth it if it lets you avoid the self harm and depression. SE salaries in general are pretty good so even if you’re in the lower end of the scale it’s decent. Not everyone can earn 300k total comp by working for the usual suspects, earning 80–100k if you don’t live in overpriced cities/countires is still a pretty good life.
How do you mitigate voting fraud?

It would seem very easy to just create a lot of accounts to vote or trigger impeachments (if that is a thing).
Call it what you will, but from what I can see progress exploded when theoretical justification was thrown out the window. Maybe intelligence just is messy at its core? Science is all about induction, but what if there are no simple rules to break this down?

The only successful intelligence we know of came about through evolution, not science. The way I see it, researchers are now doing what evolution did, but in a more guided way and much more quickly. Whether you call that science or engineering or tinkering, it doesn't really matter.
Woah. This is actually so good. Kinda give me a "digest" vibe of a subreddit.
This is a line of thinking that wanders away from intellectual curiosity and into intellectual madness. You're describing a process that would somehow "undo" micro- and macro-scopic effects and chemistry in rock and ice records around the world -- including those on the ocean floor -- without, itself, leaving any trace. It would be like peeling the skin off an onion, running that layer through a food processor, and then delicately gluing it all back on, and not being able to tell the difference under a microscope.

That's wizard wand technology, not fusion.

> Their setup is trivial - they could do it at 0.2% of revenue with a cheap vps on Linode or other...

Lightsail has pretty comparable pricing to Linode. I'm sure they could re-architect their app to use fewer instances, but they could do that and stay on Lightsail as well.

Moving to linode isn't going to give them a 90% savings.
I had never thought about it like that before :) Yes, China definitely has the volume of people necessary to just try out everything and see what sticks.

In that case, the solution might be for governments to massively invest into making the tools available for free to pretty much every citizen, so that in the west, one person can run the same number of experiments as 100 people in China.
heck, how is it going to avoid reddit's toxicity as well ? Some of the echo chambers on Reddit itself today are still very disturbing.
Kinda similarly, Black Pink did a no-audience, live performance of their new single for the tonight show and had electric candles placed in front of the stage, where you’d expect an audience to be.

I never play games because of the story. If i want a good story i will go for books. If the gameplay and the atmosphere is fine, the game is fine (for me)
What does passive income mean to you? Is it passive income when a YouTuber gets paid whenever someone views a video, but spends hundreds of hours making great content and building an audience? Is SaaS MRR passive income after you've spent hundreds or thousands of hours building a product and acquiring customers? Is it passive income when an author receives royalties after spending months writing, publishing, and marketing a book? Is advertising revenue passive income after you've spent hundreds of hours writing blog posts and building an audience?

If you want to leverage your time to make money when you sleep, you need to do the work to acquire income producing assets.

Here's some ways you could monetize your skills as a developer:

- Provide value for free (blog posts, code, videos, whatever) to grow an audience, then sell courses or paid content to that audience.

- Create open source software that other people need, then sell training videos on how to use it.

- Build an audience for your blog, and join a developer/tech focused advertising network.
The solution I've been playing with for $interp_thing (mostly in my head so far) is roughly the python version but with some type dispatch checking to pick the "most specific" of the two - which is easy when one is a subclass of the other but gets gribbly in more complicated cases. I suspect ultimately it'll be a case of "run a multimethod style selection algorithm for 'most specific' and arbitrarily declare 'LHS wins'" but I've not got far enough to consider that remotely fully baked.

($interp_thing being a placeholder for something I'm experimenting with of late)
> Can you recreate the exact breakfast I just made? Can you crack an egg the same way twice? Entropy always increases.

This is a false equivalency because you're confounding a uncontrollable natural process with things that could easily come with an instruction manual and be as replicate as a cake or science experiment. Identity is not the goal but sufficient similarity to meet specific requirements.

> It's knowledge that we don't necessarily need, if we really needed to made pyramids in the same way, we'd figure it out.

This moves the goal post and changes the subject because the original point was whether or not we lose knowledge, not whether or not that is acceptable.
It was a sarcasm
I personally like the JetBrains model where one can pay yearly and get updates but if you have to stop paying due to some reason you can still use the version you originally paid for.
There's lots of theories! It's just that there's not really sufficient mathematics available to determine which ones are provably correct. (My favorite example of this is the seemingly never-ending arguments over the REAL reason that batch normalization works...)

And there are real advances happening because of advances on the theory side, as well: I would say that ResNet is an excellent example of this, bringing some insights from differential equations into model architecture, and greatly advancing the quality of classification.

All that said, I do worry that 'fundamental science' advances might get overlooked if they don't contribute to new high scores. For example, if you can prove that a certain model will 'work' (for some value of 'work'), the model may be hobbled by the need to prove things, and thus not competitive... In which case, the proof techniques might be lost in the howling void of the arxiv.
Whether we agree with it or not, I think what is strange is how subscriptions models have become the norm.

There _is_ an alternative that isn't free and that is one off payments (rember when we used to buy software?). I happily pay in the order of $50 to $120 for one off payments, often locked to a version.

In many cases this is _more_ than I've ended up paying for subscriptions I've used, then abandoned after 6-12 months.
Yes. "Dark" is misleading, it should be "sparsely-interacting" or something. Well, MACHOs would have been dark in the traditional sense as well. Generally, "we would have seen it" excludes a lot of dark matter candidates, thats what actually makes it "dark"
Not sure about roam, but services such as Dropbox assure that they won't delete your data if you stop paying, just loose access temporarily. I'm assuming only for a while though.

If someones gonna store your stuff on the cloud, someone's gotta pay, a payment model is the best for something like note taking. 15 sounds a bit high though.
I think Chomsky's opinions held back linguistics by decades, and we are only making progress because of the ascension of statistical methods.

Chomsky didn't just argue that the statistical method lacked insight, but that humans can't really learn language statistically. Given that our artificial neural networks are much worse at learning than humans are, and yet they can simulate language much better than expected, this refutes Chomsky's arguments.

Non-statistical approaches have basically zero successes, commercial or otherwise. ML at least gives us evidence of what aspects of language statistical models can explain and what they cannot, which is a hint for future research if linguists are just willing to take it.
Would like to see this too
The Wren language has been around a lot longer than the project you linked.
Their first rule would block most of that and seems to make it pretty clear they don’t want to host those communities:

> No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, or xenophobia. Code of Conduct.

Code of conduct links to https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/master/CODE_OF_CONDUC...

Their rules are a lot stricter than Reddit’s. I’m not sure how that in practice works with it being federated, but assuming their rules are enforceable and enforced it looks like they’re just not interested in that content.
Plus mass distribution of bright matter inferred from brightness curves.

It is a simple enough integral to do, grab any beginner's astronomy book.
I actually like it. It's very punk, so ahead of its time.
It's still disappointing, and I'd totally understand if someone wanted to fix this.

I think the pagers - less - is somewhat ok with long lines? Not much else that deals gracefully with multi megabyte lines.
AWS initially was never meant for this type of workload.

It started with epiphemeral instances, available for a fixed workload, billed by the hour, such as batch jobs.

It turned out people were willing to pay $100 a month for a box worth $30 a month.
This editor will be blocked in China, obviously
You are probably right. But sounds like this would still be better solved by this light tweak to webrtc than by a new protocol.
I miss this model of releasing products, it was the defacto standard for the first 40 years of software development and I shall weep for it's return.
And deleting off topic submissions and removing illegal content is what they do the most. Just because you read that some seemingly related post got removed, does not mean everything the remove are those.
I don't understand, what does Recurse Center actually do? Like, why would I want to go? Do I get money? Or do they fund start-ups? Their website isn't very helpful in answering these questions. Apparently I get to work on the "edge of my programming ability," but why wouldn't I just do that on my own?
It's been a while since he's done that sort of thing, but Bruce Dawson could probably tell you some stories. I don't remember seeing that specific problem discussed, but his blog is a treasure trove of floating point information:

VimWiki nicely integrates with a Vim centric toolchain and is functionally similar to the Markdown Notes extension for VS Code used by Foam.

Foam looks like a very thin layer built on top of existing VS Code extensions. It integrates with a template generated GitHub repository. If it hasn’t been done already, I imagine a “VimWikiHub” layer to be equally useful.

It really depends on your toolchain preferences and whether you want to integrate with a GutHub repo.
One of us is confused; I honestly don't know which one.

Where is the problem in this scenario? My application (statically) linked provides a plugin interface. It works by calling dlopen() on the plugin and then passes a record of functions to the entry points. The plugin can be provided by a third party, and top make that easier, I provide an SDK (a header file).

No file is patched, and I have no idea what this has to do with Go. Enlighten me?
The trouble I see with this sort of approach (not Foam itself, but a general take on Obsidian, Zettelkasten, etc.) is that you quickly end up with a single folder with thousands of files, which makes it hard to manage, share, etc. Especially if you have diagrams or media associated with your entries.

It’s the same issue with static sites: you get a posts folder, dump everything in it, and then you dump all the images in an images folder and lose association between them.

I would much prefer if these tools took front matter metadata (or a pathname) to link to each other and had a note-per-folder approach (my own site does that, and I store images for each post in the same folder as “index.md”—the pathname becomes the final URL).
VS Code’s semantic tokens are a similar concept: an initial client side pass using a tmGrammar, then a language-server provided set of refinements.

> This is a line of thinking that wanders away from intellectual curiosity and into intellectual madness.

When we’re talking about the prospects of a more advanced human civilization in a time from which we have artifacts (but, obviously, not ones that are more obviously advanced than standing stones into which people read improbable histories), if you aren't going to lean hard into intellectual madness, what's the point?

> That's wizard wand technology

I prefer “sufficiently advanced” to “wizard wand”, but the former is, as they say, indistinguishable from the latter.
The price seems on par. Are there hidden costs on aws?
> the UI is a breath of fresh air compared to new Reddit

I agree. I find this interface extremely readable (It clearly displays "JavaScript is required for this page") and simple to use; I close it and move on to something that actually works. Very minimal and intuitive. I approve.
Yeah the going to the office thing when not well is bad. I’m a bit ashamed to say i it’s only really in the past 3 years or so I’ve taken a stand against that and give anyone who turns up not well a bit of grief for potentially putting others of work for a few days.

I never considered the death side of flu though.
As far as I can understand, you are correct. The problem is that predicted gravitational force at the edge of the galaxies is smaller than observed, so any theory should find a solution for that problem. MOND in my opinion always looked like trying to fit a solution to the observations which will lead to overfit.
This sounds pretty interesting, but is it a lot of work to moderate a home server yourself?

> You are the home server, so no one can control what you see. We call this user sovereignty

I’m wondering what I’d have to do to just bare minimum make sure no illegal content gets onto any hardware that I own. Just to use the obvious extreme example, I don’t want to see any illegal pornography, which in addition to not wanting to see I’d have to report to authorities, which I’d presumably have to explain the presence of, which I’m guessing worst case involves them confiscating my devices for some time. There’s a practical benefit to me in having some middle manager taking responsibility for making sure that never gets to my network.

Slightly off-topic, but is there a book to learn about this kind of stuff, preferrably without having to sign up for AWS, but that does have code samples and whatall?
I hear you. And there is good advise in the comments, but one thing I'd think you should also explore is your emotional response when you hit the harder parts of a problem. Sometimes, it is not the lack of knowledge or understanding of a subject, but the emotional response (subtle anxiety, anger, stress etc) that hinders progress when you hit an uncomfortable stage in problem solving. To add to it, leetcode and interviews have the added pressure of time limitations.

Observe your emotions - there may be a completely different solution to your problems.
Love the idea, but I don't like the dependency on jekyll. Would love to see a clean Gatsby plugin that does the same thing. You could even generate the note-links graph for the static page that way.
The old doing things for money is inherently evil philosophy coming out again?

If everybody could just live in love and harmony and to work towards a common goal.

> The problem is greed and selfish pursuit of wealth by certain kinds of people who see that as a worthwhile purpose for their life.

No. The problem is not pursuit of wealth but when that pursuit leads to breaking of the law or focus on changing political outcomes.

To be successful society needs to have good laws and enforcement and a stable political system.

The problem is when those things are not correct, not 'greed and selfishness'. Trying to change human greed and selfishness or setting changing that as a necessary goal to improve the world will always fail.

In fact people who wanted to earn money for themselves and their families have overall done a huge mount of good in the world.

>email is being used in many nefarious ways and it is an ancient protocol with many insecurities

Yes. But this doesn't make it a bad protocol to use. Email is one of the best things that remain for individiuals who value their privacy. It's pretty much the only popular messaging tool that doesn't require a phone number and isn't tied to one vendor.

>Both reddit and HN prospered as a result of not requiring email

This is untrue. HN and reddit prospered because users wanted to use the service, not because they don't require email to set up an account. If you have any evidence that suggests otherwise, please tell me, I'd be very interested in resources on that topic. To contradict your point: Pretty much every other website, regardless it it's a small one man operation or a giant company require email or even a working phone number, and those seem to be doing just fine.

>Email was not meant to be abusef this way

Well, how is it "abused" in it's current form? It's electronic mail, so people use it as such

>and I have seen first hand how it can be used against people

And how would that look like

>Email abd phone number collection is a modern tech evil for me

You should strike email from that list. Phone confirmation is the real problem, because it is tied to your identity in most of the western hemisphere now. However, there's still plenty of serious email providers where you can start a trial account to sign up of whatever requires it, just don't use the usual blacklisted expiring address suspects. I can highly recommend mailbox.org, they provide a very good service and have a 30 day trial period for new accounts.
> Have a little faith?

No, thank you. I am from India, a country that lost its independence and was ruled and looted as a colony by a corporate called the East India Company. I have no faith in or trust in corporates.

In a healthy democracy, Government regulations and standards are a MUST to protect us from the greed of the corporates, and to create a level playing field.

Facebook is an american company and I applaud the wisdom of the Brazil policy makers to make it abide by their country's rules.
So this is for situations where 'normally' I would take a video of me walking from A to B and then send it to someone so that they know the way from A to B.

The benefit this service offers in these situations is that it speeds up the video and allows me to put a map next to it.

Do people actually use first person video to give directions?

Ah, yes - the value of the pointer, which is an address, the address of the pointee. (Even after reading that other thread, I messed up my terminology.)

Actually, id returns a pointer to a PyObject representing an integer, the value of which is the value of the pointer that was passed as an argument, which is the address of the pointee. Right?
Not sure how people figured out this counts as the first 3D platformer ever and not the much older I, Robot arcade game (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmvWxG2zvs8). Is it important that the camera has full degrees of freedom instead of being locked on the depth axis?
Take my argument with a grain of salt. I'm not an expert. But, if nothing helped you. I can give you my experience.

What really helped me. I went from grinding a lot to almost nothing. Was, I fixed my teeth. My front teeth was a bit worn out from acid drinking and food taking. Though, they looked quite normal. My problem was that my teeth where porous. Acid always slipped into to the pores, which cause my teeths to hurt(more like itching, think like a small scratch whom). Not even brushing my teeths or washing them with listerin helped, because the acid slipped very deep into the pores. Dentists couldn't see from any xray scan what was wrong, so they refused to give me any treatment that would remove some parts of the teeth. It took me a lot of effort to convince a dentist to get me something that almost resembles a teeth crown(it was more like a filling). After getting these teeth crowns, me and my wife have not noticed any teeth grinding since.

I'm beginning to suspect whether bruxism is caused by the body's reflex to tooth ache? Note, I have amateur researched this topic a lot and I don't quite bought the argument of stress, but I was pretty convinced about the argument of the body's reaction to insufficient oxygen. But, I didn't quite bought this argument either. Because, if we worn out our teeth, it would be naturally deselected by Darwin's law a long time ago. Since, we would have a small deficiency of chewing. And it would be strange if only humans did tooth grinding and not other animals? But, what we humans have been doing a bit more recently is having an increased acid consumption, which lead to my argument if bruxism is just a reflex to tooth ache?

Note, there are treatment like (epoxy??) that can fill the pores, though it didn't helped with my ache. Once, the tooth ache was gone, so was my teeth grinding.
