Fair enough. I learned - in an American college - that “capitalism” was a term coined by Adam Smith in “Wealth if Nations”, which apparently was an incorrect conflation made by my Econ professor.

The term “free-market capitalism” is used often by politicians and economists, but apparently that term is conflating two distinct concepts by your definition.

That illustrates my point that the term’s meaning has morphed since it’s coining. Even the Wikipedia page’s disagrees with both of us!

> The initial use of the term "capitalism" in its modern sense is attributed to Louis Blanc in 1850

> Marx did not extensively use the form capitalism, but instead capitalist and capitalist mode of production, which appear more than 2,600 times in the trilogy Capital

What a rabbit hole! We’re officially lost in the minutia of term definitions. Time to log off of HN for the weekend haha

Macs seem to discourage shutting down, compared to windows. I’ve always been a windows user and I literally couldn’t figure out HOW to shut down the Mac without asking someone. No power button, nothing came up in the search tool thingie for ‘shut down’, I didn’t realise the Apple logo was clickable... maybe I’m just a bit thick :) Anyway, my point is, the UI discourages you from regularly giving the computer a good time to install updates.

I was a kid and not a developer yet when I started playing flash games. There was a lot of amazing stuff out there.

Nowadays the dev tools for browsers just aren't geared in that direction. React + HTML + JS is geared for a very specific type of UI while flash is more general.

Good to hear that it wasn't actually that bad. The fact that it was typed actually makes the developer experience quite good.

This struck me as well. Systemic racism means (to me) that if you took the people out of the system, you'd still get biased outcomes based on race. In my view, it's a different matter to say that a system produces biased results because it is designed to do so, rather than it is systemic because the people operating it make biased choices where their discretion is called on.

Are there actual, current examples of systemic racism where an entirely non-racist staff would still produce racially-based biased outcomes?
There are countless venues on the internet for your speech, but a platform deciding not to promote a wider broadcast of certain types of content is a substantially different thing than suppressing that content. The neutral default would be "let it be shouted into the void" which is not where we are right now; right now Facebook programatically promotes and distributes a lot of stuff to a far wider audience than we see it organically.

If you believe only hands-off platforms will last, then you have very little reason to be concerned with a particular platform's policy anyway.

In any universe where the second law of thermodynamics holds sway you can't have a society continue indefinitely at all.

Of course, you can in our universe for an estimated 1e38 years.

The point being that if there is a big enough supply of something that doesn't renew to last until the next breakthrough there is no problem. Never in the history of the human race has this failed.

Give me a break. Police with the backing of their unions have some of the cushiest benefits. It really just sounds like a bunch of ungrateful people especially in light of how terribly they do their jobs.

How do we truly fix the problem? We dissolve the police union and make police jobs less secure. They should feel the pressure of the fragility of their employment. It’s not like it’s a skilled position that is hard to fill.

CPUs didn't have DRAM controllers on-die back then. The GPU is performing that function for the system, and the link between the CPU and GPU is the CPU's front side bus rather than PCI(e). The CPU and GPU are also close together so they can both be cooled effectively by the same fan.
Not by design generally speaking; if this happens, it's a bug, and you should file one.
Where do you get that impression? Social media? Blog posts?

I know an unusual number of history academics and I've literally never seen anything other than "pursuing a better understanding of history". I have seen Sean Hannity (literally yes) call out an acquaintances' history class as "unamerican" on national television despite obviously not reading past the class title. This makes me immensely skeptical of people who worry about academia suffering due to injected ideological battles.

Go read some history manuscripts from the 50s if you want to see scholarship suffering due to ideology. Some analysis will be moving along nicely and just swerve hard into idiocy because the author was blinded by their own racism or sexism.

I find this to be an interesting broader problem. For whatever reason people seem to feel like they understand the state of modern humanities or social sciences academia even if they haven't interfaced with faculty but they don't tend to feel these same things about something like math or computer science. This leads to people forming really strong opinions about what it is like inside the ivory tower without actually talking to people.

Decolonization is really just blind nationalism and xenophobia combined with special pleading essentially to dress it up as something intrinsically noble.

The smart thing to do in terms of decolonization in the literal "no longer a colony, time to reform" is to go through the imposed institutions and sort through what has value and what should be thrown out.

> > 1. symbol collisions -> accidental interposition (and crashes);

> I've encountered symbol collisions only twice, but both resulted in linker errors due to multiple function definitions. I'm not sure how this could happen accidentally. Maybe you are referring to variables in the common section getting merged into a single symbol? Recent gcc enables -fno-common by default, so those will be caught by the linker as well.

No, this comes up all the time. Try building an all-in-one busybox-style program, and you'll quickly run into conflicts.

If static link archives had all the metadata that ELF files have, then the link-editor could resolve conflicts correctly. That is the correct fix, but no one is putting effort into it. The static linkers haven't changed much since symbol length limits were raised from 14 bytes!

> > 2. you have to flatten the dependency tree into a topological sort at the final link-edit.

> Yes, this is pretty annoying. pkg-config can solve this to some degree with its --static option, but that only works if your libraries supply a .pc file (this is often the case, though).

pkg-config alleviates the problem, but it's not enough. Among other things building a build system that can build with both, static and dynamic linking is a real pain. But more importantly, this flattening of dependency trees loses information and makes it difficult for link-editors to resolve symbol conflicts correctly (see above).

> > Dynamically-linked programs will load faster when their dependencies are already loaded in memory, and slower otherwise. The biggest win here is the C library.

It's still faster than I/O. (Or at least it was back in the days of hard drives. But I think it's still true even in the days of SSDs.)

I use both this and Psalm. I find PHP Insights very helpful in ensuring I’m meeting the standards I’ve set out because — as Matt notes in his comment — it is essentially a nice interface to various existing code quality tools.

Psalm on the other hand helps keep my code bug free through excellent static analysis.

Psalm is essential, insights is beneficial. I eagerly choose to use both, together, but in a world where you can use just one: Psalm.
Interesting that such a potentially grand idea is published unceremoniously in a specialized journal (Physical Review D).
I think preventative measures to reduce community crime levels are not a bad idea. It just sounds very inappropriate if it was the police department doing it, especially if the community has fear and antagonism towards the police. If these were social workers knocking on doors and showing people how they can improve their lives by new education opportunities etc this would be much less problematic to me.
Just be aware that Ziply inherited the Frontier customer support team and the supposedly poor software as well.

That's true, but Sony has been successful in making jailbreaking unfeasible for most people. The only path to a jailbroken PS4 today is to find one that's been sitting in a drawer without being updated for over 3 years, and even if you get that far there's no workaround for the version check on newer games so you can't play anything (legitimately or otherwise) that require firmware newer than the last exploitable version from 3 years ago, which rules out quite a few killer app exclusives.

Unlike past generations you can't just brute force it with hardware modifications either, the security is so deeply embedded in the SoC now that there's no way to touch it. Without a software exploit you're shit out of luck.

There is never going to be any major political upheaval without foreign intervention. Furthermore, foreign intervention is usually welcomed, it rarely just happens in a vacuum. Sometimes it's rebels, sometimes it's the incumbent government, it's usually both.

The fact is that a country undergoing a revolution or even just significant unrest is very weak, and weakness will be exploited.

The Internet is a tool that requires effort to use and derive value from.

Unfortunately, advertising companies built low-effort dopamine funnels on top and plugged everyone up. This has amplified the more basal animal instincts humans come pre-wired with. Outrage, lust, want, and envy are being micro-stimulated in all of us, constantly, all for the objective function optimization of engagement and ad revenue. Attention has been hijacked, fears have been stoked, and people have been made to hate each other.

We've evolved as individuals and devolved as a whole.

Except if I say no, and they try to take it anyway, they are breaking and entering. When the government says no, and it’s in violation of a law written by them, we have to revolt to have them step down.

Further listen to his definition of a gun he’ll take. First off the AR-15 is not and never has been used on a battlefield, it’s a civilian gun.

He is frothing at the mouth to take guns that look scary.

Probably not very good. Voleon does all ML-based trading and what I've seen of their returns does not give me any confidence in ML-based trading having alpha. I would estimate that at best in a good year returns would be like 5% y/y in the long term, much less than the sustained ~7% that index funds offer especially when adjusting for risk. Just speculation but there's a lot of firms with much more capital, better tools, and teams of extremely intelligent people who have pretty poor returns because of how good the competition already is.

You are correct that the reputable companies I used in my strawman apply practices like this. But it is certainly not the case that this is universal. I've worked professionally with all sorts of a data brokers (for anti-abuse/fraud purposes) and there are many who deal with non-anonymized datasets, especially if we are talking about firms that evolved out the direct-marketing space. Further, there are many ways to make use of semi-anonymized data that while, not strictly joining private information, are able to perform profile appends and data imputation in ways that allow for inferences many would consider privacy violations regardless of the fact the technical construction methods don't directly access specific profiles and are at some level stochastic.

But all that was besides my point, which was perhaps lost with a bad example. HN readers can be both FOR increased use of customer data for acute purposes and AGAINST broader abuses of such data without being hypocritical. There is a relevant distinction to be drawn.

Wearing a mask can’t increase your risk of infection. Unless it blocks 0% of droplets, it can’t possibly have no net improvement. And if they really were that useless, why do we keep getting doctors to wear them?

I completely agree with your point about the algorithms. Anecdotally, the point at which Facebook became an unbearable mess for me was when they defaulted the newsfeed to "top stories" in lieu of the chronological feed of posts. Perhaps government regulation could address the big platforms' ability to prioritize the display of user-generated content through algorithms? Forcing chronological sort to be the "default" seems like something that could be advantageous, as the volume of social media posts would naturally prevent posts from gaining momentum in the way they can when they get "prioritized" by a content curation algorithm.

The oldschool forum thread organization model of "bumping" seems more prescient by the day.
That treatment for an itchy toe managed to reduce hospitalization rates by over 8% and increase high school completion rates (to the point where everyone at least started their final year). There were also indications that small businesses started appearing, presumably because people wanted to keep working yet also wanted more autonomy. The article states that was possible because financing was easier to come by.

There is a possibility that addressing financial insecurity will give people the freedom to address other social ills on their own accord. Yet we will never find out if people keep coming up with excuses to prevent wider scale trials.
There is no such thing as "too small to form a black hole". There is no minimum mass for a black hole.

There is a maximum mass for white dwarfs and neutron stars; for white dwarfs, it's about 1.4 solar masses, and for neutron stars, it's somewhere between about 1.5 and 3 solar masses. We can't pin it down for neutron stars any closer because we have a poor understanding of the equation of state of matter in the relevant density and pressure regime.

I don't know if quark-gluon plasma is even stable in the relevant density and pressure regime, but if it is, I suppose there could be a maximum mass for a quark-gluon plasma "star" that was somewhat larger than the maximum mass for a neutron star, so there would be a range of masses where gravitational collapse could stop at a quark-gluon plasma star instead of a neutron star, and would not go on to form a black hole.
