I had the sense it was on the tip of your tongue since the way you described it matched to a T, but I decided to flesh it out for folks who hadn't heard of LSPs. :)

You're right, at this moment, the LSP is circumscribed in that it doesn't expose the AST (even though it could) which means one is limited to the capabilities it does expose. The claim is that the goal is parity across languages and exposing the ASTs is contrary to this [1]. I'm hoping this philosophy is challenged. In the mean time one might have to rely on languages themselves exposing their ASTs, eg. Python is able to expose its ast (via the ast module).

So yes, right now one wouldn't be able to write say an IntelliJ IDEA type IDE based off a language server alone -- one wouldd have to be able to create the AST oneself.

I grew up in Silicon Valley and worked there until a few years ago when I moved to the Midwest to do a PhD. My wife and I are millenials and she is also from a big city area. The plan was to move back to Silicon Valley, where I can easily get a lucrative job in my field. But when we did the math, it was an easy decision to stay in the Midwest.

I miss the weather, but we're so much better off financially. Plus we bought a 2,400 sqft home with 3/4 acre in an amazing area for $300k. I have a huge home office, and two extra bedrooms. I don't need this much land, but to be anywhere near this comfortable in Silicon Valley would be years off and would require several things to work out perfectly.

And that requires broad awareness.

First, stop projecting.

Second, I am not disrespecting anyone. There is no reference to any particular religion so I don't see how I am offending this class of people.

Third, I should be free to create any system of belief I want, if that somehow makes me feel like I am reconnecting to a higher power. If I feel like creating a religion based on machine generated quotes learned from scriptures, what is the problem with that?
I have so much stuff I'm working on/want to work on but I have no time due to my 9-5. We don't need 100k/yr UBI, we need barely enough to cover basic rent and food so that people can survive working part time while starting businesses or furthering the arts and sciences.

Yea, a lot of people who aren't into that stuff would languish but it's not like they AREN'T languishing right now. How much value does making someone else rich bring to your life if you're pissing it away behind a KFC register?

That is a bad hire. You are describing a PIP and then firing someone that you wasted time and resources recruiting, on-boarding, and training.
Key points:

1) Seroprevalance of antibodies in just 5% of the population in one of the hardest hit European countries

2) No difference in infection rates based on gender

3) Large variations in seroprevalence based on symptoms:

No symptoms - 2.8%;
Several Symptoms - 12.3%;
Loss of smell - 40.1%

Actual cases 8x the official count and IFR of just over 1%

This study is the largest yet and weakens the case for the pursuit of herd immunity without vaccines (28k fatalities with an infection rate of just 5%)
Also, can't figure out how to play the lick
Exactly, and the other thing I think is missing from the belief money is always more valuable than time is there is a scaling limit to money in most cases.

In your example you go from x to 4x but taking a developer in London with say a new-senior salary of 70k for a standard low-medium stress role, (with a few exceptions such as working in finance) you might get up to 100k by making a change, which is ~1.4x. But that extra 30k is taxed at 40% so isn't significantly more and is irrelevant against the actual cost of housing in London.

HN is always a SV bubble but by and large jobs that allow you to triple your income are vanishingly rare for the average developer, so given you're not going to change your situation entirely with an extra 16k why trade a known quantity for more stress, longer hours and a worse quality of life.
This is very true. Sometimes it’s hard to know about hiring someone after a 10
Week internship. Crazy to think a 30 minute interview is better.
I agree it's an "absurd counterexample". That's the whole point of a reductio ad absurdum. It shows the fallacy at the core of the argument with which you whole heartedly agreed. Precision is important in ethics.

Furthermore, even if I were to be maximally charitable in interpreting the argument as "damaging a person is typically morally more serious than damaging an object, and psychologically damaging a person is typically worse than physically damaging an object", not everyone would even agree with that, contra your post. I don't think you appreciate how broad ethics is as a topic; virtue ethics and deontological ethics both dispute the premises from which this argument is constructed.

Finally, discrediting an argument you agreed with does not somehow discredit or insult you as a person, so not sure where you got that from.
Computers wouldn't have been fast enough. Moore's law is a hell of a drug.

In the mid '90s, PCs often weren't fast enough to decode DVDs, which were typically 720x480 24FPS MPEG2. DVD drives were often shipped with accelerator cards that decoded MPEG2 in hardware. I had one. My netbook is many orders of magnitude faster than my old Pentium Pro. But it's not fast enough to decode 1080p 30fps H.265 or VP9 in software. It must decode VP9/H.265 on the GPU or not at all. MPEG2 is trivial to decode by comparison. I would expect a typical desktop PC of the mid '90s to take seconds to decode a frame of H.265, if it even had enough RAM to be able to do it at all.

It's an engineering tradeoff between compression efficiency of the codec and the price of the hardware which is required to execute it. If a chip which is capable of decoding the old standard costs $8, and a chip which is capable of decoding the new standard costs $9, sure, the new standard will get lots of adoption. But if a chip which is capable of decoding the new standard costs $90, lots of vendors will balk.
Ask HN: What’s “Keyboard Data (Chinese and Japanese)” on iCloud Backups?
Every iPhone I checked shows this item on the screen that lets you select which apps are included in your device’s iCloud backup[0]. Googling only shows either farfetched conspiracy theories or people claiming its for the emoji keyboard. Setting up a new iPhone without ever enabling emoji[1] stills shows this item on the backup screen. Even deleting every app Apple allows you to delete leaves your iCloud backup with “Medical ID” and “Keyboard Data (Chinese & Japanese)“.
It’s weird that this doesn’t even have an icon (displays default blueprint icon). The size also varies wildly and there seems to be no way to remove it.
Does anyone here knows what that is or if it can be removed? Also interested to know if some iPhones do not have this item on the iCloud backup screen.

[1] During initial setup, picking a country with multiple possible keyboards (like China) allows you to select keyboards, removing all keyboards except for English to be sure that the Keyboard Data thing has nothing to do with an actual keyboard.
Apologies, thanks for clarifying.

There is a small typo which I think caused me some trouble parsing the sentence. In hindsight however the problem definition seems clear.
> I’m talking in the studio when the actual work is getting done

Ok, the situation in studios might be different (but I would curious to see actual numbers). In a live show you want reliable low latency audio (especially if you play VSTis on a keyboard or do any kind of live processing) and macOS is very good at this, better than Windows I would say. Dismissing this as "fashion" is a bit simplistic.

I'm a computer musician and audio programmer. Although I use Windows most of the time, I would be the first one to admit that the audio situation on Windows is a total mess. As Paul said, on macOS you have a single API and it just works (tm). On Windows, we needed an external company (Steinberg) to come up with a usable solution for low latency audio (ASIO).
I'm familiar with a story of an ecommerce site that offered a discount on digitally delivered gift cards to encourage holiday gifting. But they didn't think to prevent people from buying more gift cards with those gift cards.
> We use digital devices for distraction from our anxieties when what we need is calm.

I think everyone has the cause and effect backwards. I believe that we're not distracted because we have these magical distraction devices. Rather, we invented the distraction devices because modern life is so devoid of meaning and purpose that distraction is a survival adaptation. The higher quality the distractions, the higher quality of the modern life.

> It quiets the squirrel-in-a-wheel spinning of your thoughts and takes the edge off the need to engage with whatever is distracting you.

I know it's an unpopular opinion, but what's wrong with functioning as a squirrel-in-a-wheel with constant distraction? I don't want myself to be calm, and neither do my family, friends, or employers. Everyone wants me to have the appearance of calm, but they actually need the squirrel on the wheel to get the output that everyone expects from me.

Being truly "calm" unleashes a deep existential anxiety about how life is precious and I'm wasting all of it with work and other meaningless obligations. I keep that crisis under control by smothering it with more distractions. I think this is a perfectly valid and sensible response to the modern world.

My plan is to be at peak-distraction until I've made it through the corporate grinder. I hope I'm able to reassemble myself once I can retire.
Design Docs at Google
Ah. Yeah, I'm basically saying "lean towards terrible and dystopian and harmful, not useless". If you tell people it's useless, dystopian, and harmful, and they find out it's actually useful, they may not take seriously the "dystopian and harmful" bits.

It sounded kind of like you thought it wouldn't be possible to get interesting results which tell you something you didn't already know from ML with much better than random chance.

>> I find it equally plausible that the computer determined that there was a difference in personal grooming habits or facial expressions between groups.

> Right, so then the question is if this is valuable.

That's not really my question, but I'd argue that the answer is "it depends on how you're trying to use it". If you're an advertiser of questionable ethics, and trying to promote your local gay bar, it probably is useful to you. Likewise if you're a computer science professor trying to get grant funding. If you mean "useful to society as a whole", probably not.

Which comes down to the difference between "this will accomplish the goals of the people who want to use it" and "letting those people use this tool is a good idea". The danger is that if you try to convince people not to use the tool because it doesn't work, but the tool does in fact work, trying to convince them later because the results are harmful is less likely to work.
That works too, but I'm lazy :P
It depends how you have it placed, too. I played on a 2 year old Pro and it was extremely loud, but I have it stuffed in a media center cubby, so it's always suffering from low airflow.

Having been raised with agency (being a military brat), its unconscionable to forfeit such an integral part of ones identity/culture and could be seen as an economic tramp stamp without even having to split any hairs.

"You're the product" is the oldest profession in the book and not a good look for many.

Its the antithesis of peer pressure (or vacine if you will), but unless you were raised with it, it may be a foreign characteristic.
You can balance things without making moral compromises. Making bad choices deliberately is different than making bad choices by a virtue of an honest mistake. For this particular feature Brave could have offered to split affiliate revenue with users 50-50. Then even if the idea was received poorly nobody could argue against the right to experiment and try to survive. Keeping 100% for yourself is greedy, shady and unnecessary not to mention uncovers that they don’t really put users first. Why not just run a bitcoin miner in the browser and keep everything for themselves? Where do you draw a line and say this company is not behaving like you are expecting?
Sounds nice, I like the minimalist look. But I think it would be a giant leap if the music was somehow related to what is being typed. Also it took a while to load, it could use a loading progress indicator — I thought it was broken and was opening it in different browsers thinking Safari wasn't supported.
Don't call back. Sometimes it's not a spoofed number – and if it's the scammers' actual number, you're calling back the scammers. Look up the number online (preferably after a 1–2 hour wait, because sometimes they can keep your phone connected after you hang up, so new calls just go straight to them).
The PS3 ran Linux at the beginning. That went nowhere for Sony apart from a lawsuit when it got patched out and consoles getting racked for cheap compute at the beginning.

I don't remember the specifics apart from the GPU being inaccessible which just made it a PowerPC server. But i suspect that experience killed off the idea internally for quite a while.

Maybe it would be a last resort if the Playstation does lose out to game streaming (not that i think it will).

And think about reading this comment too.
Re: #1, nothing is ever going to fully fix that. SS7 and the PSTN are built on 30+ year old tech where the phone carriers all trust each other. SHAKEN/STIR isn't going to fix it either. The only thing that's going to fix caller ID spoofing and calls coming in via grey market VoIP SIP trunking providers is to burn the PSTN to the ground and start over.

Breaking interoperability with the world's installed base of circuit switched, 25+ year old PSTN equipment is not on the table for the big phone carriers.
I explicitly said "monetary supply inflation" to avoid a reply with that disingenuous chart. The overt price inflation is occurring in assets, preventing the majority of people from achieving financial stability instead of assorted monthly rents to service debt. In general, we would expect consumer prices to trend downwards reflecting technological progress, increasing productivity, and offshoring. The Fed's policy is to erase that distributed progress, contributing to our growing divide between the rich and the poor.
The huge value that I see in a formal specification language like TLA+ is that we could have a precise way of communicating the problem in a way that is agnostic to the implementation language.

Imagine something like StackOverflow, but instead of posting a question, you post a formal spec. Thinking even further, you could then find a way to combine/interface these specs and build something like a global database of computational problems.

We're currently doing this already with StackOverflow, but we're focusing on the implementations, not the problems themselves.

Please correct me if there's a mistake in this line of thought, I'd love to know.
True, you shouldn't. But I've heard farmers refer to their pumpers as 'watermills', which technically they aren't. In the end it doesn't really matter, people seem to find a way to understand each other even if their use of language is imprecise. A bit like the internet protocol guidelines. So it's important to at least try to use things properly and leave the fixup to the recipient in case the sender wasn't doing it perfect after all.

The problem you're missing is cost of production: A hydrogen car fundamentally should cost no more than gasoline powered car, and will have a similar range. With batteries, you'll always be limited in range to some extend, and cost reductions have failed to reduce them to anything like a Toyota Corolla type of car.

Batteries don't have a rare earth metal problem, they have a normal metal problem. You need a lot of raw materials to make them, and it's plausible that this will never scale to point where everything can run on batteries.
This is only interesting if you are an issuer, or a corporate debt trader.

This should only become interesting if any corporate debt the Fed owns defaults, and the Fed becomes a shareholder.

To be fair about (3), I think they already do that. They mention in the article that the cards are redeemed by people in your country.

Unfortunately, the gift card is an item that is intended to be easy to give to other people, just like cash. This doesn't seem like an easy problem to solve.

I think (4) has the most chance of success. Even just adding a 4 hour "activation time" on cards worth more than $250 would make the scam just a little harder to pull off, and real consumers would rarely be inconvenienced. The guy in this story would have realized he was scammed and had ~4 hours after the call to try to fix the situation.
Doing a model rocket would be tougher there's a lot of bits they just couldn't show him due to ITAR restrictions. Also beyond the engines rockets are a LOT of empty space, there is some interesting structure in the skin but most of the volume is just empty.

I press the same letter on a keyboard and it just makes some jazz licks. How do I intend to play this?
I don't think creation of a syntax tree is always explicit; I have read C compiler source codes that use one pass with back-patching and the usable representation is bytecode or machine code. One could reckon that the AST is implicit during code generation as functions call each other to generate the code. A valid JS interpreter could just do what the statements say using dictionaries for each scope, linked together to allow levels of scope with the right semantics.
I like my job. I don't want to go into the paper manufacturing business (or oil additives, or fracking chemicals, etc.).

Thanks for the question! There were a few other alternative approaches we considered at the time, but didn't get into those in this post.

If I understand correctly, you mean something like the Heap library providing a `HeapTouchableOpacity` HOC that wraps the React Native `TouchableOpacity`. IIRC we actually considered something like this when brainstorming different approaches. I think one of the biggest issues with this approach is that all `TouchableOpacity`s in an app must be `HeapTouchableOpacity`s.

This might seem acceptable at first, but there are a lot of other components that use `TouchableOpacity` under the hood (e.g. the React Native `Button`, and other components in libraries like Native Base), and these would also need to use `HeapTouchableOpacity`. On top of that, if you already have a React Native app that you want to implement Heap on, you'd need to change all of your `TouchableOpacity`s to `HeapTouchableOpacity`s. We believed this drifted too far from our philosophy around autocapture, and decided against this.

Hope this answers your question! Let me know if you have any follow-up Qs.
It's virtually certain that Covid deaths are undercounted in the US. Excess deaths are nearly 30% higher than expected. Belgium has used extremely strict counting for deaths, their per capita death numbers are likely the most accurate in the world and are ~2 times higher than the US' numbers.

If the alternative is the Fed lending that money to banks who would then cut a profit on it, lending it again to private companies while assuming very little risk, I'd rather have the Fed buy the bonds directly without a middleman.

Of course, that's not the only alternative. But as far as injecting liquidity into the economy, I'd rather see the government having agency into deciding where to inject it rather than letting for-profit companies who don't have the best interests of the economy at heart do it on its behalf. Same should have happened for the covid helicopter money: letting banks allocate public funds was a mistake. Public funds, public decisions.
To justify spending that money, they'd have to think they'd get better returns on their R&D than shareholders could get elsewhere (e.g. by just buying the S&P 500).

It is quite difficult to beat the S&P 500, and they're saying they don't have any ideas which can.
