I'm a professor at a PhD-granting math department. I wish I could endorse this comment, but unfortunately it's incorrect.

In general I'm not available to "develop a relationship" with people outside the system, and with no apparent credentials. I have too many demands on my time, so I prioritize developing relationships with students enrolled at my university.

The one exception is if someone were to bring a genuinely useful idea to my attention. If someone had a good idea for improving the error terms in the Davenport-Heilbronn theorem, clearly understood the related literature, and brought this to my attention -- then I'd cheerfully work with them, even if they were an unemployed high-school dropout. But in practice this does not happen.

I also am happy to answer questions about our graduate program, or my discipline, from strangers. For example if a stranger wrote and asked "How can I best learn analytic number theory" then I would answer them. But for people who seek out some sort of advisor relationship, then all I can really do is to encourage them to apply to our PhD program.

From what I can tell, Italy being caught by surprise was a largely self-inflicted problem - they seem to have not tested any patients who were hospitalized with potential symptoms unless they'd travelled to China or had contact with someone who had. Other countries like the US had testing policies that, on paper, excluded those patients but in reality they did get tested anyway often enough that community spread was detected relatively early on. Italy only spotted theirs when someone happened to be hospitalized who'd had contact with a person that'd travelled to China but hadn't caught it from them.

This is very different from the narrative the American and British press have been pushing, probably for political reasons - in that narrative Italy was just unlucky, and it was the other countries that didn't learn from them and stop themselves following in Italy's footsteps that failed. That doesn't seem to match reality. As best I can tell, Italy screwed up so badly that they doomed not only themselves, but any hope of containing Covid-19 in Europe and America. Everywhere else seems to have done a reasonably good job of stopping it coming from China, and it was the unexpected, undetected cases from Italy when they claimed to be completely clean that caused the outbreaks.

Yes, historically, Christianity's theological contribution was the idea of a god that cares equally for everyone. But western humanism goes beyond that (building upon) in that human life is valuable in itself, regardless of the social, economical and, the big innovation, religious/ideological stand of that particular individual.

All of that is supported by philosophical arguments, giving western humanism a much older foundation than Christianity.

So, succinctly, I would put like this: was Christianity a necessary condition for the development of western humanism? Yes. Was it sufficient? No. Bigger and better ideas were needed to make it what it is today.
Agreed. I've been editing since the late 70s. At the moment I use VSCode the most. The plugins are the thing. They are doing things I've seen no other editor do. Of course I haven't used every editor.

The latest was I typed

...nameOfArrayInOtherFile

and it auto inserted

import nameOfArrayInOtherFile from './tests/name-of-array-in-other-file.js';

a few lines above some how recognizing the pattern.

Another thing I've seen VSCode do is give me library specific warnings. Maybe that's common now-a-days in other editors but I hadn't seen it before. I'd seen language warnings but not library warnings.
It's 350 cases in two years in an economic zone of 450m people though.
Capital expenses, not depreciating assets.

In any case, my broader point is that tax law for businesses and other taxable organisations is not as simple as "we didn't make a profit and therefore pay no tax this year", and therefore as someone who isn't a qualified tax accountant, I can't really say with much accuracy what impact particular changes to tax law are going to have on the overall financial position of an organisation like a church.
> Also my understanding (I may he wrong) is that a PhD is not about the classes as much as the research you do.

That's correct. A PhD is a program that culminates in a candidate being able to defend a thesis based on his original research when challenged by a jury of reputable academics.

That's what a PhD boils down to: conduct research that is deemed acceptable and holds to scrutiny of fellow academics.

In fact, IIRC it's possible to complete a PhD program by having a series of papers accepted in reputable journals that follow a coherent theme, as long as they can be used to support a thesis.
Money opens some doors, yes, but this will be large sums of money.

Mobile apps are great, the only problem is: app stores. For this only reason, I will never write a mobile app again.
Eh, I'm mostly torn these days. On one hand, as I also grew up (and for now currently reside in) the southeast, I've seen relgion bring out and be used to justify the absolute worst in people.

On the other hand, I've seen it anchor people and bring g out some of the best. I've seen and met people, who by all means have the right to be depressed, bitter, angry, etc. but maintain an attitude of forgiveness and happiness I can barely begin to comprehend.

I suppose on an individual level it can be very good, but I remain wary on religion as an institution.

damn right they get a bad rap.

With no to little reporting requirements American churches are the ultimate fraud machine for the use of an exclusive and nepotistic section of society.

Spin it out as a series of regular companies/charities, both for and non profit.

For any church worth keeping the only difference it will make is the paperwork the accountant does, for the vast majority it will shut down piles of legal loopholes and expose corruption.

Wonder why european churches are a dying breed? There isn't any personal profit to be made there, and the good people saw fit to have their governments establish semi-functional systems of care based around moral ideals.

Hey HN!

I've always had issues organising my local coding projects and finding resources I need. Almost everybody seems to have some sort of a ~/Projects directory, myself included, with all projects as sub directories.

But things are still messy.

So I set out to solve my problem. My major concern has to do with privacy and security so I made sure to be working on those areas by having a desktop app working entirely offline and that doesn't edit any of the project's file.

Ready to know what do you think AND I hope it can help some of you as well!
Hm, maybe I'm overlooking something but I'm not sure that it is? In my tests Visual Studio Code averaged 31.7 ms and Emacs averaged 4.8 ms.

This same BS is perpetuated by YC backed Apollo.io by simply scraping public LinkedIn profiles & then masking asterisked emails & numbers(usually your company public numbers) & asking people to sign up.

And when you do request them to remove the same, they ask you to provide ID proof. As if one would provide the same to a company which didn't take your consent for the initial profile data either.

I somehow managed to get hold of the CEO's mail ID got mine removed. But I can only imagine what everyone else would have to do when they want to control their web-presence.
I always wonder if hydrogen is a side-step without any real practical use or will somehow create a niche where the high-density requirements of long range travel are needed. I.e. airplanes and cargo ships.

Hydrogen is awful to store and has no existing infrastructure around it, and you only get efficiency gains if you use fuel cells, otherwise it's back to Carnot's law.

Compare this to synthetic biofuels. They are already the market, as an example I can go fill up my diesel car right now with it, certified to work by the manufacturer, and can be transported and used by existing infrastructure.

Why isn't this talked about more? Are the land usage requirements making it unfeasible for a global switchover in the aviation and maritime industries requiring converting CO2 from the air making it much more expensive? Or is it simply not flashy enough?
I know this is off-beat, but I found Warren Buffett's annual letters invaluable as a resource to learn about corporate finance. They don't substitute a good textbook, but they give a great insight into real world application.

They're available for free on www.berkshirehathaway.com ("Annual Reports" -> "Chairman’s Letter"), for those who prefer a book Lawrence Cunningham wrote a great compendium with annotations and context called "The Essays of Warren Buffett".

I re-read these every once in a while over the years and found endless useful insights as my real-world business and finance experience grew.
Aside from my desktop calculator there is no computing device or application in operation today that meets the definition of a single program on a single box.

There is indeed no point in arguing about that.

And I’m not even sure about the calculator.
It’s a problem because it bases the definition on the feelings of the recipients and not on the actions of the perpetrators.

No. Laravel performs quite nicely. Rails can't be compared to Laravel, it's slower by an order of magnitude, as mentioned previously.

Any framework bears overhead, they all optimize programmer's time invested into solving the problem. It's cheaper to buy hardware and scale horizontally rather than swap languages and frameworks hunting for performance.

PHP being synchronous by nature is what limits its performance, but we have Swoole that fixes it and makes it faster.

For the ones who will google what Swoole is, some benchmarks I've done on my laptop show 5x (yes, 5 times, 500%) increase in performance when Laravel is ran via Swoole.

Conversely, I found the experience pretty terrible when I worked on a big cljs/reagent/reframe/figwheel app over the course of a couple of years. It was slow, prone to runtime errors (though not as much as JavaScript), and often presented weird edge-cases at the intersection between the Lisp world and the React world. The company ended up abandoning all this stuff after having been big Clojure/ClojureScript evangelists for a long time.

On the other hand, after having built several large Elm applications, Elm is still the tool I'd recommend. On my current ~10KLOC Elm project, compilation is near enough instant, the structure of the code is more rigid so it's far easier to understand — even for beginners — and there's far less potential for runtime errors to occur.

Of course, this is the classic religious war in programming, so I expect someone to appear soon and point out that there is no empirical evidence to support the idea that a type system like the one in Elm or Haskell results in fewer errors in practice. Or
perhaps they'll say jet fuel can't melt steel beams.

> One of the things I argued back when the Mono Project first showed up and everyone and his dog was pissing on it because C# -> Microsoft -> the devil.

That's not true at all.

The main problem with the whole MS/Mono/C# thing was that Microsoft was openly being hostile to FLOSS in general and Linux in particular, thus gained a well earn reputation of not being a trustable entity. Thus at the time adopting any technology churned by Microsoft was clearly a serious liability.

I don't know the system in the US very well, but here in Germany it is already very hard to start an PhD as a bachelor student.
One would need high/perfect grades and a supervisor which already supports him/her.

A PhD is not just learning something about theory but also applying theory and creating some new theory.
I highly recommend you to start a theory oriented bachelor.

Every major religious book preaches against women rights and other bad stuff. The churches(or any other religious organization's) goal is to make the society conform to the religion as much is permitted at that point in time.

> nor expecting you to sit through a sermon like the old days

Its because America has come a long way to instill the freedom in the minds of people and the church knows if they force too much people will not turn up. So they relax it for now but once people become enough religious, they will move the needle a little further until there are no independence left. Don't fall for the charity stuff.

Hello! Math professor in the US here. Maybe, but probably not.

What might be easier to do is to audit a university course. Do you live in a city with a decent university? Find a course that interests you, and for which you think your background would be sufficient. Usually university course schedules are open to the public, and individual professors are easily Googleable. Professors who have personal webpages with lots of recently "cool stuff" tend to be better teachers on average, and also maybe more approachable. (This is, of course, a vague trend, not an ironclad rule.)

Anyway, it's okay to cold-email a professor and ask for permission to audit their course. Keep it brief; introduce yourself, say a sentence or two about your background, a sentence or two about why you find their course interesting. Be prepared to move on to someone else if they say no or don't respond.

If you end up excelling in the course, then this would might further doors for you; the professor might be willing to give you advice as to next steps, or to introduce you to other people who could help you.

Good luck to you!

Only if you believe in him! The "caring" is not unconditional.
In addition to these excellent points, the "1 ms" pixel response time is measured grey to grey i.e. favourable to the display and not real-world. The bigger problem with advertised pixel response times is there is no industry standard measurement procedure (which grey to which grey?, is hdmi processing latency counted?), so pixel response times are vague, mostly useless marketing.

> I’m telling you this whole Christianity thing is a scam.

Its not just Christianity, Hinduism and Islam are also bad.
It is quite clear what a monolith approach means. It is well defined. If you build a webapp as, e.g. a Ruby on Rails app you have for practical purposes the whole of your app in a single program. You cannot have a few functions running here and other functions running there. It's all or nothing in the same place.
This is not a judgement on the merits of different approach, just a simple statement of fact and I am surprised that this should trigger so much nitpicking and sarcastic put-downs.
While some of the arguments in favour of mobile applications apply in many cases, I'd like to consider a specific recent example: The GitHub mobile app.

I have been using GitHub on mobile via its web application for years. It worked fine for the most part though some feature (such as pull requests) weren't as easily accessible on mobile as they are on desktop machines.

However, with the advent of their new mobile app, not only is its UX better when compared with the web app (e.g. when reviewing pull requests) but due to the banner notification reminding you to use the mobile app when accessing GitHub via the web app on mobile devices the UX of the web app to some extent even has decreased.

The thing is, there are no features within the GitHub mobile app that actually warrant having such an app. Everything the app does would have been possible on the web and with mobile browser APIs, too.

So, in that specific case the purpose of a mobile application perhaps mostly comes down to having such a mobile application, i.e. it's more about marketing and distribution channels than it is about technology or design requirements.
Let's be more generous with the opposing position. If, as been argued, we're religious by nature (which the worldwide spread of different, often contradictory, beliefs amply demonstrates), religion is not a mental cancer, and belief in X is not a mental crisis.

Like our innate tribalist tendency of viewing the whole world as an unending conflict between us and them, we, modern humans, must try to find solutions that take those characteristics in consideration, not pretend they do not exist.

It's no one fault to have a religious tendency. There's no bad faith in being a believer.
