The situation is more complex than that. There was a past before Communism and that past determined the relative wealth of individual countries in the Soviet bloc.

Czech part of Czechoslovakia was one of the industrial centers of Europe since the early 19th century and it was mostly spared from the bombing campaigns of WWII. As such, we had much better living standards than ordinary Russians. When the Soviet-led task force occupied us in 1968 to prevent our split from the Soviet Bloc, the obviously better living standard demoralized the Soviet soldiers who genuinely believed that they were coming to our rescue. The first wave was recalled back to the USSR and their replacements were closed off in remote barracks, not to come into contact with our civilian life.

But rural countries like Bulgaria had very shitty living standards in Communism. My father's family is from Bulgaria, even today the country does not look anywhere near as good as the West and may never catch up.

Many a truth is said in jest...
Platonism isn't the only way to belive that mathematical truth exists beyond humans. In Platonism one believes that the objects themselves are real in some sense, but I prefer to see it in a different light: mathematics is about considering the relationships between arbitrary objects. The actual objects don't matter - what matter is how they are connected, and the things we prove are true whenever a collection of objects fit together with that relationship.
Hi Lance (@bachmeier),

Thank you for reporting this issue and especially for posting your investigation details on this issue at https://github.com/susam/texme/issues/9.

I have now added support for a special purpose environment named "md" to TeXMe. This environment protects LaTeX delimiters ($, $$, etc.) within Markdown code blocks and code spans. More details about this feature is available at the following two URLs:

Ask HN: What's a solid, non-mesh/-repeater/-cloud WiFi-GbE bridge ~100 USD?
I'm looking for a compact, reliable 5 GHz WiFi-bridge that either has 1 Gigabit port that can bridge multiple Ethernet MAC addresses or 4x 1 GbE ports that can do the same. So far, I've tried numerous products from TP-Link, Linksys, and Netgear but I don't want to have to deal with a used Cisco IOS AP or anything cloud/mesh with $$ licensing, backdoored/never updated firmware, analytics, added complexity, or corporate kill-switches. I'm ambivalent to F(L/B)OSS, while open to any stable platform.

I also have an occasional need for a solid single Ethernet client WiFi bridge, but all the ones I've found so far (purpose-built and travel routers) suffer from unusable, unstable pathologies.

C'mon HN, these can't be unique use-cases.
I really like the idea of the LoRa devices. However, I worry about them drawing attention to users and causing further issues. An oppressive government will eventually realize they are in use and start tracking down their locations.

What type of measures could be done to limit attributing the LoRa device to individual users?
Not easily or cost-effectively. You can...

... book on an airline that flies Airbus only. There may be a few of those, but it severely limits choice in airline.

... try to determine which Boeing model is used, and be willing to walk away at the gate if the plane is changed out (losing the ticket, or at best incurring a typically large change fee).

I'm not very good a social cues and I miss alot, but I've slowly learned that this is often revealing some inherent biases.
The managers are ok with paying other white guys, but they are surprised when the meet me in person. I have a white name, but I'm clearly not white. I'm Hispanic, but I'm often told I look Asian, "Filipino", or "Samoan". I think there is some weird internal lens that people are seeing me through.
Japan and Korea are more or less on the same latitude and near each other and Japan has slightly more area than Korea. I doubt this is an issue about projection distortion.

Ask HN: I am “trapped” in a senior engineering role, how can I escape?
This is my first time speaking on this subject so I hope I am able to convey my position with reasonable coherence.

I learned to build websites around 2011 when I was in my mid 20's. I had been working as a cleaner for some time and had come to realise I needed to escape that particular poverty trap. My father and grandfather were also cleaners for the majority of their working lives and often expressed regret before they passed. After some months self-learning I had amassed the courage to start applying for internships and junior jobs. No luck initially, though eventually I was able to begin a data entry job on a 12 month contract. I was finally able to sit at a desk and have a work assigned email address!

Half-way into my contract I organised a dozen or so meetups at Google Campus. There I met people who gave me the inspiration to continue applying for jobs. I was a fish out of water but it was a fantastic time. Finally, after another year or so of searching, I received an offer. I was able to jump in at the deep end had full project ownership over critical projects for several international brands. Over the next year I was able to fit in a wealth of experience and saw my career progress nicely as I jumped from project to project.

Eventually I was offered the chance to join a small business services company and lead development of financial systems there. I accepted, and I have been here for over half a decade now with some success. However, I now feel woefully under-experienced compared to my peers and sorely need mentorship.

I feel hopelessly trapped and constantly on the precipice of professional and personal catastrophe. I am not fit the for job market as a senior engineer, and I no longer have the financial means to take a step back into a less senior role at a company with a larger engineering team.

My scenario is certainly not unique but I have no peers to discuss this issue with so I am reaching out to HN for stern and dispassionate advice.
> When I see a highly successful 40+ year old piece of software, my first instinct isn’t to ask what the people behind it can learn from me but what I can learn from them.

This is how incumbents die: when the fact that something has existed for a long time is taken as proof of it being at no risk of disappearing.

I used to work for a company that has been around for roughly 150 years. And it is precisely the attitude that "we've been around for 150 years" that made it blind to the fact that in the last 15 years, it has become a little bit less relevant every year because disruptors slowly eats away its market. In one sector the company would boast 3% growth year over year - while glossing over the fact that the sector had a growth of several hundred percent per year. You can have growth and at the same time lose market share at an astonishing rate.

This is kind of what happened to Emacs. There has been an astonishing growth in the number of developers over the past decades. Which means the "market" for editors and IDEs has exploded. And while more people may be using Emacs today than ever before, I would hazard a guess that the market share has gone down.
Python 3 Hacks Programmers Probably Don’t Utilize – Better Programming
Same in France, I had one as son of a government employee. I even used it to cash USD checks from my internship in NYC circa 1995. A few years later all those accounts were closed and users were told to open a new account in a regular private bank.
Platonism, as mathematician Brian Davies has put it, “has more in common with mystical religions than it does with modern science.” The fear is that if mathematicians give Plato an inch, he’ll take a mile. If the truth of mathematical statements can be confirmed just by thinking about them, then why not ethical problems, or even religious questions? Why bother with empiricism at all?

How does one find ethical or religious problems and questions in pure logic? Logic is fundamental and proven to be able to apply in reality. Ethics and religion operate over multiple levels of qualitative transitions and cannot(?) be fundamental.

Massimo Pigliucci, a philosopher at the City University of New York, was initially attracted to Platonism—but has since come to see it as problematic. If something doesn’t have a physical existence, he asks, then what kind of existence could it possibly have? “If one ‘goes Platonic’ with math,” writes Pigliucci, empiricism “goes out the window.” (If the proof of the Pythagorean theorem exists outside of space and time, why not the “golden rule,” or even the divinity of Jesus Christ?)

Because DoJC exists outside of space and time in minds of believers? It just doesn't have a physical counterpart and does barely have any logic to evolve/deduct from it, for us to predict events based on DoJC as if it was applicable to parts of reality. It is understandable how someone could ask "stupid" (not really) questions about maths, but when philosophers start to draw parallels, it is easy to lose track of what they are even talking about. Can someone explain what they meant exactly?
I love how “technical & analytical” your interpretation is.

My view: In the same vein but a different lens - enlightenment has a component where it is a “state of mind”/feeling(a kind of ah-ha)/a new perspective where ‘mountains are no longer mountains’.

But it’s also a cycle, one of living->death->rebirth->living where it’s through that process of “enlightenment“, the core and primary concepts and perspectives may have changed, but mountains are again mountains once everything known about mountains from before has been “re-integrated”.
I've always liked the idea of math as a type of language. When you learn quantum computing, for example, you go beyond the limits of our informal language (English, etc.) which developed in a purely classical world. This is why pop science articles on quantum phenomena never really make any sense. They try to use metaphors to explain concepts, but there is no existing concept in our informal language to use as a referent. Many quantum phenomena belong to an ontological category that is entirely new to most adults. For example, superposition: you try to explain it as something being in two places at once, but this doesn't make sense nor is it very helpful for understanding how objects in superposition behave. In order to understand quantum concepts you have to learn a new language - that of mathematics. Then it becomes easy! Superposition is just linear combination. Done.

Also if you enjoy thinking about this topic I recommend Neal Stephenson's book Anathem, which I just finished. It is a complete slog at the start, with endless boring architectural descriptions. I listened to it in audiobook form which made that section much more pleasant.

Developers love themselves some Git, but that's probably not the best content workflow tool for people who will write copy which actually accomplishes the goals of the site (like making sales.) Why do developers in this thread act as if it's going to be developers writing the content?
> One could equally ask what is history, art, sports, etc.

Yes, those are all meaningful, interesting questions that people have pondered for a very long time.
Why is it worthless and why does the 21st amendment matter? The 9th amendment specifically allows states to legally preside over things that the federal government is not, so these laws are directly comparable other than that the 21st amendment in this case just specifically forbids the federal government from overriding the states decisions using the commerce clause.

There is clearly legal precedent to age discrimination/restrictions in the United States, from age related employment discrimination protections not applying to those under the age of 40, to the legal age of alcohol and recreational marijuana consumption (the latter of which is not somehow "exempted" by the 21st amendments restriction of the federal government).

Lagrange points?
It's not comparable in scale. ICE does terrible things and these things need to stop. They need to stop now. At the same time, let's not create a false equivalence. The scale matters - killing one person is monstrous, but killing 1 million is in a completely different moral level.

What I'm trying to say is that the scale of repression of free will and thinking, torture, murder, impoverishment you observe in NK is simply incomparable, from any reasonable angle, to anything happening in western democracies (and to many other countries that aren't western democracies).

Unfortunately Platonists don't believe in evidence so this won't convince them that their religious beliefs are wrong.
> Police in many places don't do all the things that they do on television anymore.

None of what you're claiming is an argument against using cameras, though. Including the insinuation and logical fallacy that the only experience I, a lay judge within the Norwegian justice system, have with police work is through television........

You won't believe how often camera surveillance footage comes up in court cases, and how often they are instrumental in deciding those very cases. That you have an underfunded police force has exactly nothing to do with camera surveillance. In fact, knowing that is actually a giant argument for getting more surveillance cameras(!), since it's such a big help in solving cases and convicting criminals.

Add to this that I've travelled quite extensively, including in countries with severely underfunded police forces, such as in Bulgaria and Romania, or worse, Serbia. There I've seen up close how such underfunded police work. Yeah, surveillance footage; it's even more important in areas with underfunded police! So if you choose to not install cameras, that's up to you, pal. But don't complain to me when you're making sure that any burglary towards your house becomes unsolvable because you refused to install them...
The symbols may be invented and the things we have investigated may be different, but the things we prove are true, even to the aliens.

Consider modeling the game of tic tac toe. You can prove that certain strategies always win. If you then proceed to play it with that strategy against the aliens, then you will certainly win the game, regardless of how their logic looks. (this assumes you're starting of course)
That’s the truth, I don’t know why you are downvoted. Point is at the moment it’s infeasible to use the CCP membership to infer if a person or organization works for CCP. It’s a deadly dangerous door to open because the next step is to inspect the direct family affiliation to CCP. Given the proliferation of CCP members, it’ll be affecting over half billion people and effectively you are telling most Chineses in America that they are suspects. It’s not too different from terminating the diplomatic relationship and worse, effectively you are saying Chinese people ~= CCP by the connection to members
There’s many good people there, but it’s important to understand the FAANG cultural bias:

1. A significant portion of their staff live in just a few extremely left wing cities — two of which (SEA + NYC) are currently listed as special “zones” because of the multiple months of rioting (supported by DAs who refuse to prosecute).

2. Large amounts of their staff come from other countries who could better be described as ambivalent about the US.

That said, I agree that US companies are inherently easier for the US to regulate.

Depends on the route and on the airlines available. For example, Delta doesn't currently have the 737 Max, and I highly doubt they will order it in the near future. In Germany, Lufthansa doesn't have any 737 in its fleet anymore.
She asked two important questions, only one of which (the epistemology of mathematics)was addressed in the article.

The other one was “why were the Greeks (and contemporaneous Indians) wondering about geometry of a plane and why were the Arabs thinking of algebra” when they had more limited technology than we do?
This is a rather interesting article. I'm a Platonist. From what we know today, real numbers cannot exist in a finite space, but they seem to exist mathematically. The same can be said about many other mathematical structures, including those that can only be characterized adequately (categorically) in higher-order logic.

It's also worth noting that physical and mathematical existence are based on completely different criteria. For non-constructionists mathematical objects exist once they are not demonstrably contradictory (although the absence of contradictions often cannot be proved in an absolute sense). In contrast to this, for physicists an object exists once it can be measured, where measurement is ultimately tied to sensual experience. There are also theoretical entities in physics that cannot be directly measured, but their existence is usually downplayed, they're not supposed to "really" exist but only as theory-dependent entities. In any case,the two "kinds of existence" are very different from each other.
Great. Now where is the starter pack. Better with some lisp in a box etc. as well. I use lisp download with Mac because at least the key I know of. No strange key combination.

> A php based platform has a lot of negatives for scalability

This is an outdated view of how websites are developed today.

> Using a cms to generate static content is much more simple, scalable and cheaper.

If the market agreed with you, then this would be the dominant method for creating websites today. You aren't smarter than the market.

Maybe you aren't looking at the right variables which go into your calculation for "more simple, scalable and cheaper."
>Roger Penrose, the renowned British mathematical physicist, is a staunch Platonist ...

That statement surprised me!

Google told me that according to this biography by J J O'Connor and E F Robertson [0], Roger Penrose in a debate with Stephen Hawking in 1994 self-described as a realist rather than a Platonist. They quote Penrose as follows:

>At the beginning of this debate Stephen said that he thinks that he is a positivist, whereas I am a Platonist. I am happy with him being a positivist, but I think that the crucial point here is, rather, that I am a realist. Also, if one compares this debate with the famous debate of Bohr and Einstein, some seventy years ago, I should think that Stephen plays the role of Bohr, whereas I play Einstein's role! For Einstein argued that there should exist something like a real world, not necessarily represented by a wave function, whereas Bohr stressed that the wave function doesn't describe a "real" microworld but only "knowledge" that is useful for making predictions.

Kids just have no motivation for math. It's not obviously enjoyable like art and music. Teaching what it is and how it helps them in the real world motivates them to learn.

I think Emacs is nearly perfect. I use it everyday at work for different tasks. But I can't seriously recommend it to anyone.

I'm looking at my configuration file now. It's 1300 lines of elisp. It took me 4 years to make it bullet-proof. I can't ask anyone to make that kind of investment just because I think Emacs is great.

According to Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_Communist_Party) the CPC has 91,914,000 members in 2020. Which is around 6.5% of the population of the PRC or around 1.2% of the world population (assuming around 7.8 bil people).

Byte Dance has around 30k employees in total (world wide) according to https://craft.co/bytedance so by random sampling we would expect 350 employees to be CPC members.

So if they have 130, that would be less than you would expect from complete random sampling all over the world.

Of course that's a naive approach in many ways.

1. Racism and greed can very easily coexist. Just look at the entirety of American history for examples.

Some sites show it on the booking page, and if not, there are various sites* on which you can look up the flight number to see what aircraft type has been used historically. Sometimes several different types are cycled on a given flight (e.g. Boeing 777 and Airbus A350), but for many flight numbers it's always the same aircraft type.

For example, American Airlines has tons of both 737 and A320 aircraft, but AA858 seemingly always uses a 737-800 (B738):

This is more of a cultural issue than a technical one: they want to attract mainstream programmers to their system, and the mainstream pretty much expects git compatibility.

I was the same way when I first picked up Squeak/Pharo. Only when I really went deep into it did I start to appreciate Monticello for its simplicity.

I hope that the Pharo/Squeak people keep both options around for a long time.
