Short variable names can be easier to read, too. Having people decode meaning from the name, rather than keeping track of the meaning separately and associating it with a symbolic name, doesn't always feel like a good use of cognitive resources.

imo, "Hilbert space" is a lot easier to read, you really only have to recognize the guy's name, it's a fairly easily recognizable word. "Complete inner product space" has me look more closely at more words, and it's all extremely boring-looking words so they don't even stand out in a block of text.
For something you can use for hours every day for the next half decade, that’s only about $8 a month. Each of my phones costs $480 a year just for service.
Yes that’s exactly what I mean! Just curious if there is a name for this sort of thing. Irony, I guess?

G-Suite (Gmail) costs money.

Google Maps for Business use is prohibitively expensive (for me) - we use Azure Maps instead.

Chrome is a weird thing, though.
There's been a lot of anger in some neighborhoods when mapping apps start directing people through their small streets. This isn't really hypothetical.

In theory, if Google Maps starts directing some portion of traffic through an alternate route, it's because it's less congested. As it does so, the main route also becomes less congested. In theory, it should reach a point where roughly, cars are being assigned to both routes, as both routes have roughly equalized in performance. In theory.
I switched from Debian to Manjaro after seventeen years this summer. The Arch-isms are odd at first but it is an enormous pleasure to have a system that is up to date, stable, and works with me instead of against me. That and brew for Linux (which is very rarely needed on Manjaro) has vastly improved my user experience. Doesn't address all of what you said, but hope this is useful.
That's about as accurate a judgment on designers as calling programmers "code monkeys."

Follow a couple designers on Twitter for a few weeks and you're almost guaranteed to see someone quote Steve Jobs saying "Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works."

All designers know that.
Not familiar with the concept, but how does it square with Godels Incompleteness theory, is any mathematical universe even possible?
You can already send SMS to iPhones. Why do you think iMessage spam (which can be filtered better than SMS by Apple) would significantly change the experience?
I can appreciate the angle the author provides in this blog post, because I'm sure it will work for many startups.

However, there are many others where it simply won't work because a functional prototype is necessary to procure interest and funding. And the quality and depth of that prototype is key to achieving this as well.
When User 3982274 is on a busy road using the app, Google optimizes for that user's experience. If every user on that road is using the app at the same time, these algorithms should theoretically result in the optimal condition you described above.

For example, if there are two roads leading up to the destination, one at 100% capacity and the other at 0%. The app will start routing people from road 1 to road 2. When the two balance out and the app will stop the suggestion. Even though it helped only some individual users, the end result is a 50/50 split, so good for everyone.
Also potentially relevant: Ralf, or I should say, Dr. Jung, recently completed a PhD, which I'm sure will have a lot more fascinating material for those interested in this paper. I'm hoping to find time myself to read it, but I seem to spend too much time on sites like Hacker News...

> And saying that Vietnam has more creativity isn't exactly a high bar given the similar values of Confucian hierarchy here!

I'd suggest that it's because the "happy path" for most residents in Singapore is ridiculously straightforward to navigate, so people don't need to be resourceful to accomplish things.

As a Singaporean, I've travelled to Vietnam multiple times, and have worked with Vietnamese on projects before. The Vietnamese usually get my admiration for being highly resourceful and entrepreneurial. They're really good at hustling and improvising.

Lots of working-class Singaporeans aren't raised like that, because the first 18 to 20 years of their lives have been laid out for them.
So people who have common sense and a nice human beings are anarchists? wtf guys
It's talking about the net productivity to society - now that you have more free time you might start that side project that changes the world :)
Yes. I don't understand why, in the case of socialists, do they believe that the gobernment can manage wealth and resources better than private owners.

And regarding anarchists, I don't understand how would they distribute scarce resources.
> a video of person A killing person B

Usually this would be circumstantial evidence because you have to infer it was actually person A and B in the video, and it actually depicted the murder. There could be alternative explanations, such as "that was my twin" or "we were performing a murder on stage".

Indeed, the common metaphor for the strongest possible evidence in any case—the "smoking gun"—is an example of proof based on circumstantial evidence Similarly, fingerprint evidence, videotapes, sound recordings, photographs, and many other examples of physical evidence that support the drawing of an inference, i.e., circumstantial evidence, are considered very strong possible evidence

> Is it harder to remember and distinguish “Hamiltonian”, “Dirac delta” or “Lagranian” than “cohomology”, “homomorphic” and “homeomorphic”?

While I agree with your overall point, I must note that you did write Lagranian instead of Lagrangian ;)
This is great. Most Lisp implementation involve building a trivial interpreter, but rarely does anyone show how to build a real native compiler.

Great work, I especially like the use of C instead of a higher level language.
If drivers discovered Google Maps was intentionally sending them down sub-optimal routes, they'd quickly switch to a different navigator. (Even if the Google way was better for the network overall).
The thing that irks me about this is that we have carefully optimized file systems, virtual memory, and dynamic linkers over the years to try to make starting a program scale only in the number of touched pages, and somehow it was considered sane to destroy all of that and store the program compressed on disk, when we know from experience with every other package manager we had been using that he software wasn't what was using up all of our disk space :/. Most of the large assets that come with software (such as images) don't even compress well as they are either difficult to extract entropy from (machine code; we do it but it usually uses more specialized algorithms) or files that are already compressed (such as images)! In contrast, iOS extracts packages to disk when you install them, and Android has developers use zip files that are configured to just not compress (to instead "store") anything the developer might have expected to be able to memory map at runtime and then has them run the file through zipalign to add padding that ensures all the stored files begin at memory mappable page offsets in the file, allowing them to not extract the file (keeping it as a single unit as signed by the developer)--though they do still extract the code to prelink and now even precompile it!--while not compromising on startup performance.

Unfortunately, most people are not get used to the efficient communication by text chat. That's why we are using the inefficient time-wasting communication by video chat. If we were to truly increase the productivity with the remote work, we must abandon the video chat. But most companies relies heavily on face-to-face communication so it doesn't happen in our generation.
"Oh, you actually liked, that? Yeah, of course you did, that was my idea all along, I'm a genius" is a fairly common trope.
I’m still waiting to experience the issues snaps are even trying to solve. It’s like having a worse experience for reasons I myself don’t even see.

My issues with snaps are part the ugly and clearly “non-native” startup time, and part that many lack in system integration. For example sometimes their font rendering is uglier or the open file dialogs look bad or present me with the confusing “snap worldview”. Bah.

Auto updating? Who cares. Package managers makes it super easy to keep systems fresh. I heard many distros even do it themselves or come with one click interfaces for it...
Wood burning contributes unnecessarily to deforestation and emits a lot of air pollution, things people used to think were no bueno.
I like things that do that, though, because that means they don't absorb grease and that makes them easy to clean.
Right. Good point. I use row locks in my transactions as well. I always have to refresh myself on the isolation levels.
I think that's because it's more finicky and a longer implementation. Of course, if you build a small interpreter that you can then use to write a Lisp compiler in Lisp... you've got it made!
No. It's not. It's a neutral signal. It can't tell you anything either way.

Even the github profile isn't a strong positive signal, it's a weak signal. But that's ok. That's really what we're looking for: a lot of weak positive signals.

So that person had a github profile. Everything else could either be a neutral or negative signal. Compare that with someone without a github, but has every other positive signal you could ask for. I'd take non-github person over github person every single time.
Yeah I don't think it's not useful, just not revolutionary. Gmail's spam filtering is already pretty good.
I believe non-Apple devices can also connect to servers so that is no excuse.
I'm always amazed whenever I mention the Indus Valley Civilization and most people have never even heard of it - they think "ancient civilization" means the Egyptians and Mesopotamians!
It has been my experience that anything that you can do with a custom site, you can do with a WP site and vise versa.

If you are having SEO issues it is probably not your platform, but how it is being used. Maybe get a lighthouse audit and make sure your design is mobile friendly. Create content that people want to read.

Hope that helps.
In my case, too much gardening.

I got sick of it after six years or so and moved to Linux Mint. (This was before Manjaro was widely visible.) Been on Mint ever since: it's a better Ubuntu than Ubuntu, and a better Windows than Windows (for ordinary uses).

Note that Mint 20, although based on Ubuntu 2004, has removed snap from the base install. `apt install chromium-browser' takes you to a web page explaining why.
That's mostly been my experience. If you've got more than a couple years experience most companies expect you to perform with minimal direction beyond showing you where the code is. Perhaps I'm just cynical, which is a good possibility so grain of salt and all that, and your mileage may vary. You may consider asking in the interview where the interviewer feels their skills are today relative to where they were when they joined and how they got to that level. That doesn't mean I haven't worked with great people - and I think you should look for those people - who in some way have helped me level up my skill, but it's never been under any kind of formal or defined process or company value system.

That's why the they said it's apocryphal
I dare say every move Apple makes is to surreptitiously lock in users and create a protected lock-in. They have mastered the approach, perhaps accidentally, by slowly rolling the features over time across their device portfolio to the extent the the masses don't see what's happening.

Google isn't much different. Gmail, YouTube, and Chrome 10yrs ago were obvious venues to extend their advertising channels. Chrome is their nuclear option in case hardware or other legal issues prevent their current ad insertion techniques.
Depending on your job, it might be a lot of paperwork to get permission to issue that PR.
A healthier internet? yeah right
Jitsi not being p2p is advantage in my book. I'd imagine p2p group video calling is subpar.
I always wondered why we rarely see more efforts like an LLVM based Lisp or Scheme language, especially when some projects like Racket are looking to improve performance by switching their runtimes (and I assume other benefits that come from consolidating underlying programming efforts across multiple projects).
I don't see the contradiction, it is similar to say "we ultimately need to stop burning fossil fuels" while using Internet and living in a city.
-Thus 'allegedly' and 'apocryphal' - to the best of my knowledge, no reliable sources back this ever happening - but it is, you'll have to admit, a wonderful tale...
Ask HN: Do you use MinIO and do you need a Python wrapper for administration?
MinIO strives to be an S3 compatible object storage and has a Python client library that does not support many operations the command line interfaces `mc` and `minio` offer, such as admin functionality.

Would you be interested in a Python wrapper[0] that does that? The link is for a quick prototype for what the interface would look like.

Autodesk is only able to get away with what it does because regulators allowed it to buy out its competitors. Further, the extreme technical difficulty of reverse-engineering complex file formats--including legal obstacles such as enforceable shrink-wrap contracts against reverse engineering, the DMCA ban on reverse engineering, and patent issues--means that it's virtually impossible for competing, interoperable, products to emerge in Autodesk's markets.

The main competition for Autodesk's Fusion 360 is SolidWorks. It's possible, although not that easy, to get models back and forth.[1]

There's FreeCAD. There are many low end 2D CAD programs. If you're building something bigger than a house or more complicated than a keyboard, though, you probably want a pro product.

I think you make a great argument with the translation problem. English is a second language for me, and many of the people that studied with me at university didn't speak it at all so clases were as much in Spanish as it was possible. Things like "bubble sort" where translated to things like "ordenamiento de burbuja," etc. There were two problems with that: one is that not all authors used the same translation and second is that information in non English languages tends to be more outdated or not even exist at all on the web so many times I had to try and guess the right name in English when I wanted to understand something better.

Now that I have a job a similar problem appeared with translations, Microsoft has this annoying habit of translating useful technical error messages and many times the error in Spanish doesn't yield any useful information on Google searches (if at all) so I'm again having to guess-translate terms into their original form.

It is not just issue of feeling related. Some mental health issues have massive impact on those around and on their mental health.

For example, mood disorder may mean you get yelled at and insulted or put down a lot, unpredictably and for no own fault. It may be result of sickness, but verbal abuse consequence is same.
I have seen 'reciprocal space' used for 'Fourier space'. It is quite descriptive, and has the advantage of also working with Legendre transforms.

'Horizontal integrals' does not work. It refers to one way of visualising functions (and even then, only of 1 or 2 variables, and only with specific conventions), and not to the integral itself.
That's not what PETA says, though. They say, animal testing is NEVER EVER EVER OK. Ever.

They have further stated that using animal tested products is 100% morally wrong. Except, of course, for Special People which are 'in the fight'.

This is far different from saying "We need to work to end animal testing".
Yes, but it does not tell you which signatures are valid in this repo, this is something that is external, eg GitHub lets you manage a list. You need this information to validate the signed commits.
I've not read the book, but I'm trying to digest this. For someone who has a good grasp of Dust Theory, if you answer from its perspective...

1) Does believing that consciousness is simulateable commit you to thinking of consciousness as a purely mathematical object, apart from any physical process it might model?

2) If the universe were just an infinite space filled with dust in a wild zoo of different configurations, does my consciousness exist in it so long you can find a dust configuration that admits a mathematical representation that's isomorphic to the one representing my "real" consciousness?

3) How does complexity fit into this? If the entirety of the universe were a single static point particle, would consciousness still fall out of it? It seems as if it could, if you had a sufficiently complicated encoding scheme.

I think even this gives too little credit in a way. Why were the walls whitewashed? To grow less mold and generally stay cleaner. That's the only why for doing the action, and it seems to have been perfectly well understood. The only thing the modern biochemical understanding does is tell us why this worked. At best this can help us find more effective methods, but it doesn't really add anything to the practice. Put another way, if you were put back in time, what would the most effective means of accomplishing this goal be? Probably the same lime whitewash actually used.
This is a non-issue for most asian countries. Grandparents and women who couldn't keep up with men in professional settings become caretakers. China's biggest issue is its population bomb not a lack of people to watch the kids.

Have you ever been able to look at someone's code and immediately figure out whether it's good or not? I think it can be easy to see if it's really bad, but sometimes it can be hard to tell if it's okay code, or really good code. The problem is that you might have extra information to make a hiring decision, but it requires orders of magnitude more time to evaluate.

For example, if the whole project is done by a single person do you evaluate their design and code? What if it was just a one-off project that they didn't care about so it has copy-paste code in a few places. Is that bad?

If you ask candidates to point out examples of good code, then is that really meaningful? What if a mediocre programmer can find a few places where they wrote some strong code. What if that code was made good through a strong review process?

I think the problem is that it's too difficult to determine if open source contributions are actually representative of the way someone will code in a job.
They didn't just drop a reactor in a pool; they also eliminated a bunch of pumps and other failure-prone components from the system.

I would prefer to see inherently safe designs like LFTR gain traction, but NuScale has one of the few designs likely to be built in the near term, where you could SCRAM and take a vacation without causing a meltdown. That is a major advancement in safety; let's not let perfect be the enemy of good.
I should actually fix this. What I've described above is basic "chaining", but Rainbow Tables are a further improvement still by Philippe Oechslin. The additional insight in Rainbow Tables is that we can reduce collisions in our hash-pass-hash-pass back and forth if we modify that pass function so that its behaviour varies by depth, this way if a collision occurs but at different depths in different chains (e.g. maybe the chain starting with password "password" hashes immediately to 5f4dcc but in another chain the value 5f4dcc is found for the password "j58X_m04" after six steps) the next call to pass() will diverge again, so the collision only wastes a small fraction of our precomputation effort. If the collision does happen at the same place in the chain, the final hash output will be identical to another chain, so it's easy to discover this problem and apply whichever mitigation seems appropriate.
What’s even about relieving themselves in the gardens, as compared to inside the palace?

Maybe he's a horticulturalist? Whizzing on the vegetation can really ruin a garden. Just ask anyone with a neighbor who doesn't curb their dog.
The 8 hours alone is already too much for me, even if I had all the normal stuff open. I actually had close to the ideal remote existence, complete with month long vacations and all that, and had come back to the office pre-COVID because it just was not healthy for me to spend so much of the average week alone.

I think the other part of the dynamic is that with no one around employees become inboxes that you can dump infinite work into. Some of the finer grained feedback like the grimace when an overworked person is assigned yet another task is lost.

My hope for the future is we rediscover the value of human contact, just any human contact, but that feels unlikely.
