Well politely "I disagree"

I moved to a lovely new town for my first IT job (I'm still there 20 years later). I initially rented for the couple of years and moved out when the landlord decided to sell - and he offered to sell to me for what I thought was a ridiculous price. Few years later I decided to buy and saw that original house was back on the market.
The appreciation on that original house was more than I'd earnt (pre-tax) in those intervening few years.

Next flat I rented was from a teacher. She'd decided to try working in Australia, but before she left had decided to sell her house in the UK and buy a nice, easily rentable flat in the town she 'might want to move back to'. This struck me as incredibly sensible.

There's your job(s) which may be tied to a particular place and there's your housing in that same place. If you don't own anything you're at the complete mercy of the markets. You might score that great 10% yearly pay-rise, but if housing goes up 20% it's still 'bad'

My humble advice is that not buying is perfectly sensible as it provides you with flexibility - but try to connect yourself to the housing market - you'll always need a house. Buying a place and renting it out might provide best return for the risk, but there are plenty of funds geared around housing you can invest in, just to make sure you don't get left behind.
Also not on iPad, but they do load, on a stand-alone page, if you click on them.
Is that the breakdown? Euclid's Algorithm, Pythagoras' Theorem, Fermat's Little Theorem are all elementary, but the example upthread of a "perfectoid field" which is a "complete topological field K whose topology is induced by a nondiscrete valuation of rank 1..." is much more abstruse.
I think the third part should not have been published at all. That environmental determinist ethnography stuff felt like it was straight out of old school racist colonial philosophy. I did think their naming scheme was great though.
These examples all make company A and B as beings outside the community, and that wouldn't be the case. When groups exist outside of societies that are focused on gaining power over others, problems arise.
I think that’s because when science started to get serious, Latin happened to be the lingua-Franca of those in Europe who could afford to be part of it. Equivalent deal for why we use Arabic numbers.
I wasn't suggesting that a Congressman directly go to bat, though that would be awesome. Any US citizen can contact their Congressional Representatives' Office to request that some bureaucratic problem be resolved, and the Congressional office directly contacts the relevant organization within the executive branch. I live near Washington DC, and it's just part of the process.

Speaking of Linus, did you know the embarrassingly invalid "Linus's Law" was actually made up by Eric S Raymond, and he just blamed it on Linus?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linus%27s_law

>In software development, Linus's law is the assertion that "given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow".

>The law was formulated by Eric S. Raymond in his essay and book The Cathedral and the Bazaar (1999), and was named in honor of Linus Torvalds. [...]

>Validity

>In Facts and Fallacies about Software Engineering, Robert Glass refers to the law as a "mantra" of the open source movement, but calls it a fallacy due to the lack of supporting evidence and because research has indicated that the rate at which additional bugs are uncovered does not scale linearly with the number of reviewers; rather, there is a small maximum number of useful reviewers, between two and four, and additional reviewers above this number uncover bugs at a much lower rate.[4] While closed-source practitioners also promote stringent, independent code analysis during a software project's development, they focus on in-depth review by a few and not primarily the number of "eyeballs".[5]

>The persistence of the Heartbleed security bug in a critical piece of code for two years has been considered as a refutation of Raymond's dictum.[6][7][8][9] Larry Seltzer suspects that the availability of source code may cause some developers and researchers to perform less extensive tests than they would with closed source software, making it easier for bugs to remain.[9] In 2015, the Linux Foundation's executive director Jim Zemlin argued that the complexity of modern software has increased to such levels that specific resource allocation is desirable to improve its security. Regarding some of 2014's largest global open source software vulnerabilities, he says, "In these cases, the eyeballs weren't really looking".[8] Large scale experiments or peer-reviewed surveys to test how well the mantra holds in practice have not been performed.

>Empirical support to the validity of Linus’s law [10] was obtained by comparing popular and unpopular projects of the same organisation. Organizations like Google and Facebook are known for their quality standards. Popular projects are projects with in the top 5% number of stars (7,481 stars or more). The bug identification was measured using the corrective commit probability, ratio of commits detected to fixing bug. The analysis showed that the popular projects had more bug fixing ratio (e.g., Google’s popular projects had 27% higher bug fix rate than Google’s less popular projects). Since it is unlikely that Google lowered its quality standard in it most popular projects, this is an indication of increased bug detection efficiency in popular projects.
Testing is supposed to prevent bugs from being committed. Finding the bugs in released software after the fact is the worst possible process.

The fact is that people discover and fix bugs, and then years later someone else commits the same mistake again, and nothing prevents this because the kernel has literally zero pre-commit unit tests. Here's an example (thread by the author of syzkaller). https://twitter.com/dvyukov/status/1169544165023240194

How manifold it is, what thou hast made!
They are hidden from the face (of man).
O sole god, like whom there is no other!
Thou didst create the world according to thy desire,
Whilst thou wert alone: All men, cattle, and wild beasts,
Whatever is on earth, going upon (its) feet,
And what is on high, flying with its wings.
The countries of Syria and Nubia, the land of Egypt,
Thou settest every man in his place,
Thou suppliest their necessities:
Everyone has his food, and his time of life is reckoned.
Their tongues are separate in speech,
And their natures as well;
Their skins are distinguished,
As thou distinguishest the foreign peoples.
Thou makest a Nile in the underworld,
Thou bringest forth as thou desirest
To maintain the people (of Egypt)
According as thou madest them for thyself,
The lord of all of them, wearying (himself) with them,
The lord of every land, rising for them,
The Aton of the day, great of majesty.
From the last part of the text, translated by Miriam Lichtheim:

You are in my heart,
There is no other who knows you,
Only your son, Neferkheprure, Sole-one-of-Re [Akhenaten],
Whom you have taught your ways and your might.
[Those on] earth come from your hand as you made them.
When you have dawned they live.
When you set they die;
You yourself are lifetime, one lives by you.
All eyes are on [your] beauty until you set.
All labor ceases when you rest in the west;
When you rise you stir [everyone] for the King,
Every leg is on the move since you founded the earth.
You rouse them for your son who came from your body.
The King who lives by Maat, the Lord of the Two Lands,
Neferkheprure, Sole-one-of-Re,
The Son of Re who lives by Maat. the Lord of crowns,
Akhenaten, great in his lifetime;
(And) the great Queen whom he loves, the Lady of the Two Lands,
Nefer-nefru-Aten Nefertiti, living forever.

The name Teichmüller needs to be deleted from modern mathematics. I don't care about slippery slope arguments. He was an adamant Nazi and the fact that his name represents a large portion of modern mathematics is abhorrent. Especially with prisoner of war Jean-Leray being far more influential with his idea of sheaves that was conceived while he was a POW. Yet we don't hear his name nearly as often as the war criminal whose name is infused modern topology.

You cannot oppose all animal testing, say it is morally wrong under all circumstances, then ... because you're fighting to end it, say in your special little case -- it is OK.

PETA representatives have often said that killing animals, is not worth saving one human life.

Such broken logic indicates that this person thinks that they are special. They aren't, they could die tomorrow, and some other pro-PETA person could become VP. They are, quite literally, saying it is OK for countless humans to die, due to a lack of animal testing, but that for them?

Special little them?

It's OK.
As the article points out, it's because recruiters have started to ask for links to Github profiles.

Hence the topic.

Having a Github profile is "being forcefully career-driven" because it's now a potential gate put in place to work at increasingly more companies.
Linc – The Perfect CI/CD Pipeline for Your Front End
so it's turtles all the way down? someone makes a break through that gets used by someone else to make a different break through kind of a thing. this is why science needs to be open. no one person/group can do it all. i just wish that research didn't have to be done in secret to protect potential patent ability. Let the work be published and the let the people responsible receive whatever credit/recognition/awards deserved.

kudos for your efforts!

> Taipei = north Tai

> Tainan = south Tai

> Taichung = middle Tai

> Taitung = east Tai

> Shandong = east mountains

> Shanxi = west mountains etc.

Not quite. Shandong = "east of the mountain(s)", not "the mountains in the east", and similarly for the others. Note how in Shandong, dong comes second, whereas in Beijing, the north capital, bei comes first.

Shanghai is a weird one. "On the sea" should be haishang. 上海 in another context should mean something like "get onto the sea".
Well, unless Hairy Ball Theorem is called after her, I don't think it's up to her to decide, what mathematicians "should" do. Jeez, these journalists researching "computational morality"...

To be fair, I do actually think some math jargon is unnecessarily complex and we could do better, and that it is something that actually matters. And I do think, for instance, that "commutative group" is better than "abelian group", since it is descriptive, unlike the latter. But this rarely is the culprit. Kähler manifold is called after Kähler, because he is the one who introduced such a thing, and we don't really have any better name to describe it. (And it wasn't Kähler who named it after himself too.) Can she propose a better name? I'm curious to hear it, but she conveniently skips that issue in her musings. If not, this whole argument of hers is just silly, as is thinking that "monster group" is a "cool name". It is not cool, it's rather awful, it's called that precisely because we don't have a clue WTF this thing is, and I sincerely hope that some 300 years later we'll have a much better understanding of group theory to rewrite all that stuff and to see that "monster group" is not such a "monster" after all, but quite a natural thing, that can be described conveniently and assigned some proper name.

So if we want to improve the landscape, let's rather start small, by abandoning π in favor of ½τ. Let's see how many centuries that will take.
You fail to note that the medallion system existed partially to limit traffic, pollution, car accidents, pedestrian accidents and all the other externalities caused by massive amounts of additional cars on the road.

This is exactly Anarchism. Please learn the basics before posting.
> Wayland is the way forward.

Wayland has been "The Way Forward(tm)" for 10 years now.

That may be. But nobody in RedHat/Canonical/etc. believes that enough to put sufficient manpower on it to make it true.
Which has nothing to do with a government.
I think it largely depends on the person. For example, as I am someone that's extremely introverted, going to work and interacting with people outside of my duties drains the hell out of me and makes me miserable by the time I get home.

The more conciseness of communicating and lack of socializing with coworkers has made me both much happier and more productive. Granted, I'm on the pretty far end of the introvert-extrovert spectrum and am much happier being by myself for extended periods of time, so I'm sure it definitely varies.
We should strive to remove all references to Teichmüller. It is abhorrent that the name of a prominent Nazi is so deeply embedded in modern mathematics.
This was good, and much needed.

I'm currently writing my own programming language, and I'm thinking about how to I encourage growth since I'm realizing that I'm still at the starting line.

I'm sorting out how I balance out "telling people and inviting people in" versus "how do I polish what I want to polish?" versus "use the damn thing to make things!"

The language is: http://www.adama-lang.org/ and it is a work in progress
Technologies exist that give quantitative biomechanical analysis and "before" and "after" comparison, for example when fitting an orthesis or prosthesis.
Oh I know basics. It's gibberish, built upon mad fantasy.
Now this is most certainly wrong. Example (search "history research"):

"Research in history involves developing an understanding of the past through the examination and interpretation of evidence. Evidence may exist in the form of texts, physical remains of historic sites, recorded data, pictures, maps, artifacts, and so on."
True if you are looking at this from the employers view. But as an employee, They'll be less productive in their lives if they require a hour commute to produce 10 hours of work compared to if they didn't.
Parallelogram Puzzle
> I think your point is less about wealth creation, and more about access to capital and how that influences who can fund what work. It's a subtle distinction, but I think an important one - and yes you're right access to capital and how capital is allocated is zero sum and this influences what work is done.

I agree; I'm talking about the allocation of capital in a capitalist society; I'm effectively arguing that inequality and wealth distorts the markets such that
capital is allocated to be invested in products which those who are richer care more about - to put it in a more reductive way the fitness function is a
simple maximum rather than, for example, having a scaling factor per person.

A liberal democracy is intended to be the latter, but as we've seen, enough wealth and lobbying implies that you can indeed, influence
enough of your fellow populace to vote how you want them to.

> I think this is best structure for society to efficiently allocate resources/capital in a way that encourages the most wealth creation and growth

With all due respect, this is similar to the argument laid out by Leibniz when asked about the existence of God; that is that "We live in the best
of all possible worlds" - and in that case the rebuttal is the same, given that the proposition is such a strong one the burden of proof is on the
proposer. After all, Mercantilism was thought to be the best system during the Rennaisance and Feudalism in the Middle ages to give two examples
of economic systems which were later discarded.

> The way to fix this is with incentives that encourage people to go into areas society thinks are more worthwhile

Capitalism only has a single answer to this question; the areas which have more capital are by definition the areas which
society thinks are more worthwhile! Which, is why it is an incredible system - it manages to make people who by and
large are self-interested and self-organize and as you say has been the biggest driver for human wealth and
prosperity for over a century without the need for some benevolent dictator.

To my mind, there are several really big problems which we have to face in the coming years. You alluded to it here
tangentially;

> people like Las Vegas

I think with adtech industry and social media, it's incredibly easy to influence what people desire and want - if you
can control what people want; can we still really say that capitalism makes people more prosperous, if the very
reason that they were poor because we induced artificial needs and desires in them?

On a more practical level, I agree with you; people should be incentivised to start companies because it's good for
society. But where we disagree, possibly, is that money is the only driver which causes people to start companies.
The IBD banker in your example, would start the company regardless of whether the payout was lower, but
by implementing a wealth tax, maybe the we could give the opportunity to the teacher with the great idea about
educational technology to create _their_ business and enrich society.
'Linusgate': Debian Project Leaders Want to Ban Linus Torvalds for His Manners
Agreed (mostly...it looks more powerful than dataclasses afaict). It looks like it could have a ton of use cases.

My concern is that it seems easy to get started, but metaclass hackery is hard to get right if you do much of it. Maybe that fear is unfounded; have you found that people tend to use it responsibly?

As a small side-note, on the surface I'm not seeing any reason it couldn't be implemented with something more composable like __init_subclass__, and that might be a nice touch.

I completely agree.
The differentiator of "property" is that you're always going to need somewhere to live. If you have a whole portfolio then it's similar to any other bet/investment you might make on a share price - your investment might go up, it might go down - but it's not going to make you homeless.
If you have no financial connection to property where you live, you're taking a giant risk.
Yeah, I want to know that too!
I thought you were making a valid point that spelling drifts too!
> While he has written a ton of code at his work in the last year, he hasn't posted anything that can be viewed publicly: he has no public commits, he hasn't created any repositories of his own and he has an insignificant number of followers. Despite all that he's still the best developer I've ever had the pleasure of working with.

This is more a problem for the developer, not the company. The company may have a smaller pool of candidates by evaluating based on GitHub profiles, but they will have more data to use in their evaluation. If they don't have the resources to pay for the premium of being selective, they may evaluate candidates from a wider pool (those without GitHub profiles/history). The candidates without GitHub profiles will receive the attention from those companies not willing to pay a premium for their services.

This can be generalized in other ways beyond GitHub. GitHub, in this sense, serves as a marketing tool, similar to LinkedIn, a personal site, a blog, a resume, etc. Provided it's a free marketing tool, the developer has little to lose by investing their time into marketing theirself and a lot to gain by receiving more demand.
I still remember Dolly Parton singing about how much a drag it was to work 9 to 5. Most offices nowadays require you to work 8:30 to 5:30 and still call it 8 hours.

Remote work at least allows some people to effectively regain some of that hour, since you can discount the travel time, and associated costs for parking, gas, etc, or transit.
AFAIK the subject was discussing Marvin Minsky's acts related to the Epstein affair, on some MIT mailing list (semi-public). RMS was having a discussion about someone he personally knows. If I personally know someone accused of something, and I think it doesn't fit well with the person as I know them, I may doubt, wonder, ponder, etc. In fact, it seems an obvious, natural thing to do in such a case.

But for some reason expressing doubts about Minsky's culpability was this particular day akin to apology of rape or child exploitation.

OTOH Epstein has been obviously assassinated in weird circumstances that scream "many very important people wanted this guy dead" but apparently this is no big deal. Go figure.

Oh I didn't mention the generally inappropriate behaviour of RMS. He's dirty and so and so. Then there's his behaviour with women, so let's see what Gruber said: so he basically went to women and say silly shit such as "go out with me or I'll kill myself". That's ridiculous, that's annoying and that makes the person on the receiving end uneasy and shameful and offended. But that doesn't qualify as an "aggression" or "harassment", it's stupid and lame, awkward and tasteless, however I pretend that hurting someone's feeling shouldn't be prosecuted. Ever. As long as no insults were proffered, generally that's what the law states in civilized countries, too.

Asking someone out in an awkward way once doesn't qualify as harassment. Watching intently as someone doesn't, either. Making someone uneasy still isn't harassment. And this seems to be all there is against RMS, which is, admit it, really not much.
Yeah, that didn't pass the laugh test.
