Flying within EU, the security theater boils down to restricting fluids to individually less than 100 ml in hand luggage, having all metallic stuff removed from your body as far as possible in order to be screened and maintaining a certain posture while being body-scanned.

Strongly Disagree!

You name things after who discovered it. In these case
you name it after mathematicians like Newton, Euler, Turing, Gödel.
For me its some sort of ignorance if you do not honor the one who discovered it.

>Also, wouldn't counting the minute faster be the opposite of what you'd predict for someone who was experiencing time as if it was passing faster?

If they psychologically experience a wall-clock minute shorter (than a young person), then they'd tend to underestimate its duration when they are asked to count one.

The wall-clock remains the same and is lived by them the same -- but they feel its a short period, so they call out a short period when they asked to count one.
Georg Steller (1709-1746) was like that, but in biology rather than math. Things named after him:

Steller's jay, Steller's eider, Steller's sea eagle, Steller's sea cow, Steller's sea lion, and the Stellera genus of flowing plants. Oh, also the mineral Stellerite. He's also in the scientific names of a couple others: Cryptochiton stelleri (a marine mollusc) and Atremisia stelleriana (a plant in the sunflower family). And a school: Steller Secondary School in Anchorage, Alaska.

Regulating monopolies is not full communism.

Apple’s mice are atrocious, but the Magic Trackpad 2 is my favourite pointing device, bar none. It’s gestures are by far the fastest way to navigate the multitasking environment in MacOS. Keybinding with traditional mice, such as the MX Master should ostensibly provide the same experience, but in practice it’s way slower and more disjointed than using the trackpad. I just cannot navigate MacOS with a mouse, as quickly as I can with a trackpad.

The trackpad is so good that I even know people that use the trackpad alongside their MX Master, for pinch/zoom, scrolling and multitasking.

>Nobody forces you to use iMessage. Use Snap, Whatsapp, Telegram, FB messenger, whatever.

This isn't a case of fair play among competitors. iMessage, unlike the other options here, is baked-into the iOS SMS client, and it's not obvious to a non-technical use how to opt-out of using iMessage services. It's akin to if Android, as a default, inspected your contacts list and hijacked outgoing SMS messages for delivery via Hangouts.
It may be hard to believe, but most people only think about themselves and their family. And they'll do anything, with the justification being that "it needed to be done". They can have PTSD and nightmares afterwards, but in the moment they'll do anything.

People don't like to sit at a table and talk it out, and if the results are not to their liking, they'll just abandon diplomacy and switch to violence.

They're not psychopaths, that's just primal survival instincts.

Actual psychopaths and sociopaths are a minority, although a pretty powerful one since they don't care about your unwritten, unenforced social norms.
in Computer Science we have things like: "Quick Sort", "Merge Sort", "Map", "Hashtable", "LRU", etc...

Those are trivial concepts though. The article brings up "perfectoid spaces", as if to suggest their superiority to "Scholze spaces", yet neither name gives any clue as to what they are:

In mathematics, perfectoid spaces are adic spaces of special kind, which occur in the study of problems of "mixed characteristic", such as local fields of characteristic zero which have residue fields of characteristic prime p.

A perfectoid field is a complete topological field K whose topology is induced by a nondiscrete valuation of rank 1, such that the Frobenius endomorphism Φ is surjective on K°/p where K° denotes the ring of power-bounded elements. [1]

Oh, okay. See, the problem is that modern mathematical structures are built on top of centuries of prior work. Computer science, on the other hand, is still in its infancy as a field.

I hope Computer Science divorces from Math, and takes its own path to more logical naming of things and less useless symbols used in it.

That's silly. Computer science is a subfield of math. All computer scientists working in research are mathematicians by training. You won't get anywhere at all if you try to enter the field without a mathematical background.

Good satire.
There used to be a saying among web developers that you can either use a framework or end up building a framework.
the other thing is, alot of "state" is emergent or can be derived... lots of people seem to not think in that way and complicate things with too many variables

i see this kind of code alot:

person {
age: UInt
birthday: Date
}

whereas if you have any sense of when "now" is its much better to just calculate the age based on current date

person {
age: UInt {
birthday.YearsUntilNow() //slightly trivialized ^^
}

private(set) birthday: Date
}

I always found it funny when watching Jobs' Macworld reveals to hear him gush about new mouse designs as being the best ever. I believe even one iteration of the "hockey puck" got this kind of treatment. Everyone knew it was baloney, but because the other new hardware was usually so interesting/good at these events, people generally didn't dwell on his mouse claims.

In recent years, the wireless Apple mouse which had to be recharged by inserting a USB cable into the base (thereby rendering it temporarily useless) surely takes the cake for form over function craziness.

Absolutely. The "white earphone cord" thing was cool when iPods first came out (as an Apple brand PR thing) but iMessage is not cool because it has direct negative consequences, especially among less kind social circles.

But I have also found this true working with clients. They'd be like "you don't have an iphone?" and I'd have to show them my beautiful purple Xperia 1 to demonstrate why, but that should be redundant.

But what I have also found is Android's negelgence. The standard Messages for Web was broken for myself, and is broken for many people (will keep disconnecting from phone). They seem to have introduced new "chat features" but they had yet to show up.

Worse yet, my international Xperia wouldn't send group MMS properly with the standard Messaging app. But it would work on other apps.

That is why I would highly recommend the Pulse app. It has dual sim support as well as a snappy web interface. It really should be the standard.

I find joy in customizing my phone and figuring these things out, but the defaults need to be more sensible for android users. Nothing could be worse than cheaper phones subsidized by bloatware (ux wise).

Meanings of words drift over time, like, litterally.
I promise you, I am speaking in earnest. In The International Convention for the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, the United Nations recognizes[0] "linguistic genocide" as a component of cultural genocide, which is defined under Article III, punishable acts.

While it would be hyperbole to characterize OP's cavalier attitude toward others' cultures (verging on xenophobia) as a genocidal crime—or even as a direct recommendation of such—it is not hyperbolic, I hope you agree, to characterize it their post as encouraging a perspective which does NOT recognize linguistic/cultural genocide as aspects of a horrific crime.

It amounts, frankly, to the same thing as logging into this website and professing a complete disinterest in the survival of a given people. (I can use no examples, here, in good taste, so you'll have to recall in your own mind the names of any group who have been victims of genocide in the past, or who might plausibly fall victim in the future.)

> leaping to the preposterous conclusion that the GP would bring about their preferences through genocide.

I agree. It would be preposterous to suggest that the GP were about to pick up a hammer and saw to build an extermination camp. I am suggesting not that linguistic erasure would be performed through an act of physical genocide, but that the ends themselves constitute genocide.

Again, I understand you to be saying "GP is not proposing we deliberately exterminate languages," and I agree. I would not characterize them as, ostensibly, doing so. However, given the socioeconomic forces at play in the world, our history of extractive colonialism[1], etc. it's evident to me that there are people in the world who wake up every morning to perform a job that is actively eroding minority cultures and languages. There are still Nahua in Mexico. There are still Ha'aku in the States. These people have been brutalized by government policies, and corporate exploitation, alike.

To log into this website and profess a disinterest in whether their language dies is to profess a disinterest in whether these people—beleaguered not by natural, but socially constructed forces—retain their cultures, the loss of which constitutes genocide. GP, therefore, seems to be flippantly professing a horrific comfort with genocide. They seem to be suggesting that, should we see any languages going under, that we ought to stand idly by which, as Edmund Burke notoriously asserted, is all it takes for "evil to triumph."

Ask HN: How do I stop companies from up-leveling me? Am I underselling myself?
I have a BS in CS and between 4.5-5 years of experience in mostly backend and some full-stack development. I consider myself a solid intermediate level engineer. Likely not too junior, but definitely not senior. I generally apply to SWE II positions, but then recruiters/hiring managers say I would be a better fit for SWE III roles. When I apply to mid-level positions, recruiters/hiring managers decide I'm a better fit for senior roles.

Honestly, I'm not that good. I'm a super mediocre coder. I try to be really transparent with my work experience and skill set and I acknowledge that I have weaknesses that need fixing and plenty of learning still left ahead. I never go into an interview and tell people I'm amazing. My attitude is more like "Eh, yeah I'm pretty decent I guess. I want to be awesome one day though, so looking forward to the learning experience at your company, it's a great opportunity, thanks for your time." I'm just afraid that potential employers think I'm capable of doing things that in reality I cannot do, and I don't want to go into the job and eventually get fired if I fail to meet the expectations that I was hired based on. I don't know if I can go against these employers and say, "No, I want to be a SWE 2 not a 3. No, I'm a mid-level SWE, not a senior. Interview me with that in mind and stop having such high expectations of me." I can't tell if I'm potentially lacking confidence, or if I'm misrepresenting my work experience to seem more impactful than it really was.
The mathematical objects mentioned in the article are way more abstract than something like a sorting algorithm. There aren't any words in our vocabulary which would concisely help to describe these concepts.

Nice work! It's often hard to communicate complexity and justify the abstractions, but nevertheless it's a cool demonstration of what's possible in Python.
It's worth thinking about simplifying code and DSLs, as long as you don't go too crazy.

My personal concern would be the lack of typing annotations (IMO very important to have in a 'standard library'), and even if they were present I doubt something like `store_attr()` would be typeable without a mypy plugin.

Personally, I sometimes trade boilerplate and tolerate code duplication for the sake of the code being transparent to static analysis.

And in quicksort, we have Hoare’s and Lomuto’s partition schemes. Not that “quicksort” is actually particularly descriptive.

We also have Timsort.

> Even the name "Boolean", could be changed to "Conditional"... and be even more readable

Booleans aren't conditionals, conditionals in crisp binary (or, as it is commonly known, “Boolean”) logic operate on booleans (conditionals in fuzzy or nonbinary crisp logics do not.)
It varies by the software. Some free software is a lot better than others.
Yeah the syntax is intimidating. Its definitely one of those things where its easier to start off by copying examples and then slowly learn all the details. After using it for a while it mostly starts to feel like a slightly different JSON syntax (there are a few exceptions to this but you don't end up needing that for most of what you do).
