Nepotism doesn’t, but I’m starting to think that other forms of corruption can, under the right political circumstances. For example credentialism in combination with friendship corruption is potentially powerful. I think we’re starting to see significant effects of that in Sweden for example.

I liked his introduction to Category Theory enough to buy the extremely well-done hardcover edition:

https://www.blurb.com/b/9621951-category-theory-for-programm...

The only introductory treatment of Category Theory for non-specialists that I’ve encountered that even competes with it is Spivak’s “Category Theory for the Sciences.” For the curious, Eugenia Cheng’s books for lay audiences are excellent for getting a feel of the power and value of the Category Theoretical approach.

Category Theory is somewhat unique in being a recently developed area of advanced maths that is nevertheless approachable with only modest formal training. Because it maps so well to much of the theory and practice of functional programming, most programmers with even a little interest and familiarity with that will be able to engage with the fundamentals, and Milewski does a masterful job of introducing it to that audience.

I dunno... when it comes to the tiny things this article is talking about I really don’t care. This all seems like outrage in the name of a few clicks. That annoys me way more than my headphones asking to know how long I use them each day.
Pedometers have been a thing for quite some time. It was about 20 years ago when one of my parents bought a pedometer, it didn’t have an app, but it had an lcd display that told you how many steps you took.
I feel the evolution of language reflects important details about the culture wielding it.

I think a strong example is the word 'cult'. It once referred to a small sect or faith - and that's all. Leaders of established sects so often demonized small, competing faiths that cult became redefined to refer to evil and dangerous groups of worshipers. Notably, no other word ever emerged to take it's place.

I really wanted a tool to evidence how changes in language reflected changes in society's beliefs. I figured an authoritarian source of English definitions would be that tool but there isn't any such thing.*

In the end I had to adopt the more difficult approach of finding examples that my audience could relate with.

* (For a time I believed that the Oxford English Dictionary was that source, due to the 60-odd years between the 1st and 2nd editions. I didn't realize tho that supplements were added on an ongoing basis.)

>You can consistently memorize a phone number in mandarin, but you can't in english because the syllables are too long

I'm not sure what this means. I do memorize phone numbers in english, albeit not very much these days due to the phone address book. But this made me contemplate whether I am memorizing the words or the numbers. When I repeat my phone number to myself, I "hear" the english words, but I "see" the numbers.
This is symptomatic of hands-off ops services like AWS and CloudFlare eroding sysadmin/sysops skills in the general developer population. These problems don't go away because you pay AWS to solve them, and it'll cost you. I have very little empathy for someone who gets screwed for taking the lazy path and consolodates more and more of the internet into a handful of private megacorp's baskets. Learn how these systems work, god dammit! If you don't understand it, you're not equipped to hand control of it to a third party.

Ops-as-a-service tools like AWS are highway robbery. The price is nowhere near the actual cost of providing these services - you're all being taken for a ride.
Novel behavior could increase plasticity. Whether that’s novel exercise, new dances, or brushing your teeth with the opposite hand.
What happens if you overrun your credit? Does it explode your instances and storage volumes?

(I wouldn't have any problem with this, just seeking clarification.)
A spin class? Really that is the best example you can come up with? That is not at all compelling.
This reminds me of the old days. Today a virus usually tries to go undetected and does a number of things, but back in the days - if you got a virus, you were fucked :)
A few points for context:

1. Those R squared numbers in table 2 are quite low. The statistical analysis itself is painfully basic. I'm a statistician, and I've a bookshelf full of excellent books written by statisticians who publish in psychology, so they should have been able to find someone to beef up the analysis a bit. That said, psych publications is also notorious for bad data analysis. I'm an outsider to this field, but this feels like an omission.

2. The paper doesn't use any causal inference techniques despite making a clear causal claim in the title. They use simple linear regression, which is not a causal model unless causal assumptions are made explicit. In my book this is a grave sin, one avoids making causal assumptions that might be hard to defend, fits a model with linear correlation, then makes causal conclusions. To understand what I mean by causal model, read this (these techniques are well-known and if the authors' defense is that they don't know them, it reflects badly on them): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubin_causal_model

3. It is worth thinking about what the intelligence assessment, the AFQT test, actually quantifies. One critique of AFQT is that it is more of a measure of literacy than intelligence. Read more here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armed_Services_Vocational_Apti.... Maybe the title should be "Having parents that make sure you can read by age five has a greater effect on success than grit."

4. The AFQT and other intelligence tests have a pesky problem of having averages that change in time. This suggests that much of what they measure is not innate, but learned.

5. Social psychology is plagued by a reproducibility crisis. I'm sorry to say, their papers, no matter how provocative the findings, have to be viewed with great skepticism. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/replication-crisis

6. The paper says social economic background has a significant effect, but about the same effect on pay as intelligence. That seems to conflict with a pile of research that says that social economic background is the strongest predictor of success. To say that IQ is just as important as your parents' wealth is pretty eyebrow-raising.
The novelty is the important part IMHO
Nope. 1L of gasoline produces 2.3kg of CO2 (3ish if you include production and transportation). That’s about 5.4 US cents in high quality offsets (CAD$24/ton on less.ca), or US$3/L for active carbon capture with today’s experimental technology (based on $1000/ton, can’t remember where I got this number or which currency it’s in, and it’s a year old)

Aah, I misunderstood what you were saying.
I agree they should just work but I also think their could be good cause for an update such as an improved noise cancelation software updates. I would expect that for music playback that just works always even if you decline the update.
Even in the 'evidence' the poster you're responding to says there's low evidence of effectiveness of mask usage.

This is similar to the idea of praising the people who are always putting out fires because their actions are visible, vs the people more in the background who design systems that don't catch fire and just hum along without complaint.
Not true but typical belief of STEM types. If you go by reproducibility rates you could say the same about medicine and economics. Hell, gravity is poorly and inconsistently defined, but we don’t throw away physics.
Thus the self hosted option I was so confused about before.
There are two levels of questionable: what you mentioned works for things like less common proclivities but not for things like revenge porn or other cases where it’s not just a question of what a user is willing to see.
Better off? The idea that victims deserve to be victimized because they didn't take enough care is trotted out every time a security issue comes up on HN.

> Hydrogen is not only in contact with the tank but with other materials en route to the fuel cell as well.

Isn't it also in contact with everything around the tank on account on there being basically nothing which is completely impermeable to hydrogen?
Thanks, but I'm still skeptical.

The first article, in an Indian news site (and reproduced in several similar sites) is about some stones that a group of amateur archeologists found. It doesn't appear to have been published in any professional journal, and the comments make it clear that these are unlike anything seen elsewhere, and their purpose is unknown. My guess: they're not tools, they're random rocks.

The other article, as you point out, shows a greater variety of the alleged tools from Chiquihuite. I'm no archaeologist, but to me they look like rocks that were carefully chosen out of a bunch of randomly shaped rocks. The picture of the cave entrance show that it is full of breakdown (caver for "rocks that fell off the ceiling of the cave"), and I wouldn't be surprised to discover things that look sort of like blades or points in such a pile of rocks.

So I'm afraid I'm still skeptical.
Some Garmin devices can receive traffic data via radio, which your phone can't do. Garmin also usually has business names and gas stations, whereas I've found Google maps offline will only let you navigate to a specific address (Android), and it's reliant on you remembering to store the map offline. If you found yourself in an area without signal, and you didn't pre-save, you'd be screwed, which I've had happen plenty of times.

Personally I use offline maps, but only on specific trips where I know for sure I'll have no data

We desperately need a standardized open source phone. The raspberry pi of phones. Linux may be a better platform than AOSP. Android and iOS were designed for control first.

Control over apps, control over the store, over what users are allowed to do. If you don't need any of that to make money why not run a regular Linux distro.

Opens source phones will never be mainstream. Same as desktop Linux. But it would be nice to have a widely supported option for those of us that care
I strongly disagree. If we're going to use a TUI, it should embrace what it is. Turning it into a watered down GUI does not work to its strengths nor serve the needs of the users still working with it.
The headline is a clickbait. It may log me out from some of the "most popular" sites, but certainly not all.
Hacker news attracts people of all kinds.
There's a lot of misunderstanding here. A closure does not store the variables it creates. Instead, the closure's code block will allocate space for those variables when it is called.

The GC must trace all reachable values. This includes the stack, and also variables captured by closures which are themselves reachable.

The same principles apply whether or not a JIT is in use.
Meritocracy generally refers to a system where your upbringing/family/etc. matters less than your innate talent, hard work and achievements. It does not mean a system where your success is tied to the value you bring.

edit: For example, standardized tests for advancement are a meritocracy even if the tests are divorced from the requirements of society.
Isn't that their point? That gasoline is a pretty well-behaved and easy to work with liquid while hydrogen isn't?
Does this mean the spoken language Mandarin, or written Chinese, which I didn't think was called Mandarin?

I've been thinking learning to read Simplified Chinese writing, alone, might be useful, for someone who doesn't want to go to China.

Definitely if you did a carbon tax it could be made revenue neutral by either paying it back to people and cut other taxes.
Big companies that care about security use short-lived certificates for SSH, not simple private/public keys.
In construction and landscaping work those companies are usually licensed, bonded and insured. If they fuck up the work there's obvious financial recourse. Also, the measure of them fucking up is generally a lot clearer for physical labor and for mom and pop businesses, getting construction work inspected by a 3rd party is usually more straightforward and cheaper.

In software, financial recourse generally means you have to jump straight to lawsuits. There's no licensing for who's qualified to build a website, developers don't have to escrow funds or carry malpractice insurance in case they make a mistake, a development business should have insurance in place but there's not always easy or affordable ways to assign fault in most IT situations if you want to pursue them. Software and IT forensics are prohibitively costly and usually mean a lot of money has to be on the line which rule out mom and pop businesses entirely. IT and software mistakes also usually take longer to rear their heads, and people in IT and software also aren't known for sticking around for decades. How do you sue an LLC that dissolved 5 years ago?

It's apples and oranges in my opinion.
I'm pretty sure gravity experiments are reproduced very frequently.
Ask HN: Why don't Amazon, Target, Walmart implement product queueing?
For products like hand sanitizer and masks, why can't there be orderly queues, with quotas, so that everyone can be treated fairly? As a software engineer, I find myself seriously considering writing scrapers to watch over the product pages and notify my wife when something is in stock. It's madness for her to be clicking a dozen pages throughout the day to try and "snag" a couple of these in-demand products.

It seems so easy to grab a couple of engineers and implement a rudimentary pre-order system (pretty sure they already have pre-ordering of some sort).

Anyone with the inside knowledge know what's going on? Is this a political issue?
WebAssembly is a great platform to build upon, but it’s still very rough for most languages to build the necessary features for seamless interop with WASM.
WASI is still not standardized.

If a business or org is careless enough to leave their data exposed, they deserve to be punished like this. I'd rather have my sensitive data deleted by hackers than exposed by hackers.

How can you use electricity to cool things in space?
I know. There are two LiveScripts.
You are suggesting that it was just "keys" but that isn't the case here. You don't know what type of data is being destroyed.

A better example might be a storage unit service that left the front gate unlocked. If someone torches the place to illustrate that they need better security would you be comfortable with that? Isn't there a better approach that we should encourage or is OK to encourage people to destroy things that aren't protected to teach people "lessons"?
It sets the expectations straight.
You mean I would go on the web site and say I want product X and then I have dibs on the Nth next one to be available, say three hours or three weeks later?

With the app you can also change the cancellation level, they’re pretty isolated even with the feature powered off entirely but it helps out in some situations.
Are these associated apps mandatory for getting the headphones working or are they just value adds?
That could eventually be true, but currently under 5% of hydrogen is produced by electrolysis or biomass gasification, the rest is all processing of fossil fuels.

Huh, I had no idea there was even such a thing as SSH certificates!

Presuming you mean X.509 certificates, is this part of the standard spec (e.g. should work with OpenSSH etc)? Do you know if it works with PuTTY?

there was a migration from livejournal to dreamwidth for reasons I don't fully remember

Livejournal became associated with CP thinly disguised as fanfic. Think Snape and an underage Harry Potter kind of stuff. It was sold to the Russians after its value imploded because all the English-speaking normal users left. The Russian content on there now is as far as I know innocuous; that kind of fanfic is mainly a Western thing.
natural gas is used for heating, and for the time being it's more energy efficient to heat using natural gas directly than using electricity from generated from the grid which for me is a mix of nuclear hydro & natural gas

The context was more of a fixed ceiling. Presumably everybody knows and agrees that being tired, drunk, ill, having dementia, etc. can affect apparent intelligence. By "fixed intelligence" the implication is that there is a ceiling where a person's brain has developed and they are fully functional that isn't straightforwardly or easily raised.
People would forget and abuse the return policy. Also, they constantly change prices so you would either get screwed or lock into a price the seller doesn't want to offer for a billion orders.

Have to admit I'm not very familiar with SSH certs.

I'm generally just spinning up a fresh Ubuntu instance on EC2, so I have an entirely 'vanilla' SSH set-up. Small scale, so I don't especially mind the ritual of verifying the fingerprint. It's annoying though that it takes a few minutes for the EC2 system-log to be populated with the 'true value' of the fingerprint.
Unions don’t give workers an unfair advantage; they merely level the field and make it a fair negotiation. After all the boss already has the power of a large organization behind them, why should the workers not have their own?
If that were true, it would be in their interests to publish and promote data that contradicted the image of a force of violent goons.

Perhaps it is because "STEM types" understand the difference in rigor that mathematics affords hard sciences. That's not an opinion.

I would certainly hope the owner of the insecure database would face massive consequences. IMO there's not _nearly_ enough of that. This sort of breach should be financially ruinous for _any_ company.

So to each of you with the same response; You're totally ok being sold an unfinished product, paying too high of a price for it, and then having to opt into privacy violations to use a device which should have worked from day one out of the factory. Got it. Noise cancellation in headphones is a gimmick and a fad. High end studio monitors do not typically use it, and it distorts the experience. It makes sense if you're constantly packed in like a sardine on public transit or crowded spaces and you're simply trying to block out the surroundings, but may I suggest buying a real pair of headphones and carrying a pair of earplugs instead? To be very clear on my point. I see needing to update headphones and being conned into my headphones masquerading as a "smart device" equal to needing a smart toaster, or a connected can opener that some would justify should need firmware updates. It's senseless.
