I really loved the Lucas Art point & clicks. I remember being stuck for hours in those games. Eventually, I finished most of them (or I remember I did, but maybe I didn't, honestly I don't remember).

I want to deeply thanks everyone who worked on those games. Thank you.
Accorindg to your link, mean Conscientiousness raises by only 16% over age, with the standard deviation stays the same.

Doesn't sound that large.

But intuitively, people who have families will work significantly harder than a teenagers. So i think we're measuring something incorrectly here.
For me this stood out:
"The reference projections for the five largest countries in 2100 were India (1·09 billion [0·72–1·71], Nigeria (791 million [594–1056]), China (732 million [456–1499]), the USA (336 million
[248–456]), and Pakistan (248 million [151–427])."

The big surprise being China,of-course. A drastic decrease projected in the coming 80 years.Should have policy consequences as well, I would think.
Brilliant insightful analysis. Thank you.

It's the journey we find exciting - the difference from A to B.

I remember the intoxicating experience of using Spotify for the first time in October 2008, using IP address account tricks to access it from outside the UK. This was despite being a winamp- (or actually foobar2000)-loving music pirate.

Now, I don't think of it at all. I've arrived at destination B. What now? Well, there's desktop Linux on phones. That's fun and new, if you care about freedom, things being in the hands of the user, tinkering, and customisation. I'd go there, it needs some help.

Hangul is a syllibary where each character is formed from a consonant and a vowel symbol being merged in a consistent way. Even if a few of those symbol fragments are similar to chineese, the structural differences are stark enough that calling the whole thing based on chineese is misleading and deceptive.

I agree, the Victorinox Signature Lite is probably my allover favorite for light everyday carrying, and is my current one. Descending priorities: scissors, nail file, pen, knife blade, screwdriver, and flashlight. To add a Philips screwdriver, there's the Victorinox Midnite Manager.

I've carried many models of Victorinox, in a few different colors, and two models of keychain Leathermans.

I also carried a few of the Victorinox ones with USB flash drives, and made a multitool Linux distro for them: https://www.neilvandyke.org/lildeb/

If you want a keychain multitool with pliers, the Leatherman Squirt PS4 is great. The corners of the Leatherman Micra destroyed my pockets, but the way the handles fold in that model means it's relatively better for keeping the blade from closing on your fingers if you're abusing it. These things are pretty tough, and I once used a Squirt in my fist to urgently hammer in the hinge pin of an old metal door

I occasionally pine for one of the Victorinox RescueTools, which can be used to rescue someone from a car, or to escape from one yourself. They're a bit big to carry around all day, and I don't have a practical need where I live. They're also expensive to lose, if you get forget to leave it at home before a flight.
Yes, I've commented in a number of places that this is essentially Part I of a two part intro to the absolute minimum I'd like a newbie sysadmin to know.

Other posts have pointed out that he did forsee that. However if we want to prevent specialized hardware from taking over, we do have a very easy solution in the form of memory-hard hash functions like scrypt or argon2. These didn't exist back in the day,

Facebook is concerned about possibly having to pay licensing fees to music publishers and rights owners. The new policy is a disclaimer, attempting to release Facebook from any responsibility for infringement. It's however unlikely that Facebook would be judged to be in the clear if it's determined that they are benefiting from uploaded content. Most likely they will balance the threat of paying fees against the hurt to the appeal of their product caused by their own restrictions, and that will determine the level of enforcement.

It's like the same pointless discussion HN about hiring once or twice a month. I see this WFH debate on heavy rotation here also. It's always the same.
Not to contradict your opinion or the usefulness of Leathermans but I’ll just point out that the Victorinox Swiss Champ has both pliers and a Philips screw driver.

Victorinox also make Leatherman style multitools. That must mean Leatherman are on to something though.

Personally I prefer a SAK because it’s small and doesn’t have a locking blade.

In many parts of the world simply having a locking blade in your pocket “without good reason”[2] will get you in trouble, whereas a SAK like a Swiss Champ is ok.

If you drop the grammar requirement, you can easily use one of the many dictionaries made for this purpose (e.g. diceware or a bip39 wordlist which even has support for many languages).

If you feel fancy, you could make it order independent or add error correcting codes to compensate for a limited number of mistakes at the cost of an extra word or two.
China’s predicted population decrease is a logical consequence of its one child policy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-child_policy)

If you compare https://www.populationpyramid.net/china/1980/ with https://www.populationpyramid.net/china/2020/, you see how drastic its effect on China’s population pyramid was. Drastically fewer kids means fewer parents 20-30 years later.

(There also is a bit of an effect of richer people having fewer children, but for China, that effect is relatively small)

The assumption of progress you claim is a by-product of linear modes of thinking -- the growth of modernism in art represents a philosophical tendency in broader culture towards deconstruction and nihilism. Painting is a reflection of consciousness, not simply a skill or set of techniques that is developed and innovated on -- as many technologists are wont to believe.

It is true that Picasso broke barriers, but the barriers were broken through a regression in consciousness.

I really recommend the work "Madness and modernism" by Louis Sass, and Jung's writings on Picasso. I am a huge fan of Picasso, but Picasso's artwork, as well as the artwork of Dali -- represents a regression into archaic portions of the subconscious -- an amalgamation of meaning that leads to meanings destruction.

This is not a critique of the artists nor the artworks -- they are phenomenal... but the modes of thinking that led to them should be understood beyond the techniques being novel, or new.
The progression of western art mirrors the progression of it's consciousness.

For some reason the NT to 2000 transition broke all of my ASP Classic pages. Had to make small changes (I can't remember what) to all of the .asp pages even though there shouldn't have been any difference.
Some other interesting bits, to me:

- Bitcoin (and the remarkably-written whitepaper) does enough things right that it's hard to imagine a single programmer delivering that whole package (writing, math, cryptography, programming). Calling it enthusiast or hobbyist level work really downplays it.

- Great attention to detail, like base58 and the checksum (even Ethereum years later went with hex and no checksum like most people would). Or proving he didn't premine by including the newspaper headline in the genesis block.

- Really good picks of crypto primitives off the beaten path. e.g. at the time, sha-1 was more popular and has since fallen apart, the same with the more popular elliptic curves.

- Even just the script system is interesting to include in a v1 like Bitcoin. You'd expect most of us HNers to just hardcode a pay-to-pub/privkey system, not detour with a script system.

- Obsession with compression. Made his own lil compressed floating point spec. How many people would include their own FP compression to save a few bits in a v1? Especially when it just saves like one byte per block. Usually the sort of programmer who goes down these paths isn't the one shipping software.

- World-class opsec. I mean, c'mon. We're still left to folk-theory and superstitions about who Satoshi could be. Never let his guard down. No one has caught him not using Tor. Even bought his domains with cash in the mail. People doing some of the most illegal things in the world couldn't be bothered to go to half of his measures. It's mind-bending. Text analysis hasn't even found good matches on his writing or programming style. All for a project that was overwhelmingly likely to get zero traction. It's like the project was partially compelled by a time traveler from the future.

- Though there are fuck ups too in Bitcoin, like the sequence number in transaction input. Has no point, an idea that didn't pan out.

It's hard to have a real theory here. Mine is that Satoshi was a pet project that someone with some political capital at NSA or something was able to get funded for a couple years.

Either way, the mysterious origin story is exactly what a project like Bitcoin needs and deserves, I think. It's hard to imagine any other origin being quite as compelling.

I don’t think it’s “a default”, it’s a fundamental limitation of the algorithm.

Specific bcrypt libraries could implement length-reduction by default though.
The key insight (that older people count out seconds faster) is based on experimental science. The rest is more speculation.

FWIW, I'm convinced that seconds felt slower when I was a child, and they now tick up faster than they used to. Obviously there's no way to measure this, because this is my perception, not measurable reality.

I'm still amused by one Swiss army knife anedcote.

One place I worked as a software engineer, we had to carry lots of different physical keys (and, IIRC, a keycard), for getting among parts of the building, and even for going to the restroom. And a convention caught on of, when you sat down at a meeting, of putting your keyring on the table, so it didn't dig into your leg, ruin your trousers, etc.

One day, two representatives of a Swiss company fly in for a meeting. Management and key engineers walk into the conference room, me and this other engineer put our keychains with red Swiss army knives on them on the table. I don't think she or I realized it before we did it, but, if someone didn't know the convention, I suppose it looked like we were displaying our Swiss army knives specifically to honor our guests from Switzerland.

It builds an interesting argument. It takes dick jokes and makes them quality humor.
> Obviously for a gigabyte long it's a bandwidth and hash-computing issue :p

Yes, that’s why you put in limits which are way beyond reasonable passwords but way below that. Say a few hundred or thousand bytes.

Also worth consideration: most of these work on bytes, probably utf8. A user wants to be cute and put emoji in there, that’s 4 bytes a pop. So depending how the system counts them, “hospital plane” might be considered 2, 4 or 8 characters.

But wait! Group emoji are concatenation combinations thereof, you can have a single multi-character emoji which is composed of half a dozen codepoints, and two dozen bytes once encoded.
Government should embark on major public infrastructure projects and issue bonds tied to some collateral or benchmarks like for example a portion of property or sales tax in some area, for some limited period.
That is definitely a much more apt parallel.

I think this is a common pitfall of a number of beginner courses. Personally, I view it as kind of an arrogance of "I know better what you need than you do".

And that’s when you create a performance improvement plan.

If someone is underperforming then you take steps to try to understand why and help them to get to the level the company needs them to be at. Hopefully this works and everyone is happy but you need to be clear (to your employee and yourself) that ultimately this could end up in dismissal if it doesn’t work out.
This is when you document everything and have regular meetings with the individual so everyone understands what is going on and if it ever becomes legal then you have everything you need to justify your decision.

Point is, you only need to do this if someone is underperforming so much that you’re thinking you need to dismiss them, and if someone’s performance is bad then you don’t wait for the annual (or quarterly or whatever) review before doing something about it - you deal with it straight away

It’s not that unusual of a situation. You might have other technical teams but your lead developer(s) leave.

These days you can outsource technical tests to online businesses that specialise in that kind of stuff but that wasn’t always an option, particularly if you travel far back enough in time, and hiring contractors to support you during the recruitment process is often seen as too expensive for some businesses.

One of the major aims of physics is to try to describe reality with mathematical constructs.

If you start with what can be directly observed or experienced, then that's phenomenology.

Those are both valid and interesting ways of trying to understand reality, and I believe they are ultimately fully compatible with each other. But I think you are trying to hold physics to phenomenology standards in a way that doesn't make sense. No one thinks that Newton's theory of gravity "lost contact with empirical reality" because it doesn't have measurements or people as ontological components.

Anyway, that's all beside the point I was trying to make, which was just that the description of the MWI in the article was plain wrong.
