> Eg Conway’s notation for knots

I'm not sure how well-known this is, but Conway notation can be thought of as taking a Tait graph of the knot (i.e., a checkerboard graph) then reducing all the series-parallel networks until you get some irreducible graph. He noticed that certain kinds of series-parallel networks can be represented by an extended rational number (includes infinity), which can dramatically simplify the analysis of small knots -- to the point he was able to classify all of them in an afternoon! So, Conway notation corresponds to an irreducible planar graph with an expansion of each edge by a series-parallel network, with each edge in the expansion labeled by a rational number. You can even work out a set of moves such that if two such diagrams correspond to the same knot then there is a sequence of such moves connecting them.

I do wonder if there's a similar analysis for lambda calculus represented as graphs... It might be that certain expressions play the role of rational tangles. (Though very likely not :-) )
I'm not in/from the US, so I can't apply for those position unfortunately, but I'm currently applying to semi-governmental institute technical-assistant position. But I'm afraid it would be a position that would be a "glorified IT-support/sysadmin" with some paper proof-reading... which is a point I'm about to ask on upcoming meeting.

As the other comment pointed out, if I have no say in direction/approach I'm skeptical how much I would enjoy working for it (with a reduced salary nonetheless)
It doesn’t need a business model. Most good open source exists out of necessity. A lot of this stuff transcends necessity and is about convincing people it is necessary.
Indian government jobs are just something else altogether, there is literally no accountability, or reward/punishment for good/bad performance. Promotions are almost always based on seniority, nepotism and political influence. The whole system runs on insane levels of corruption at nearly every level. And on top of these are there cream pensions.

Its really like the stuff of the dreams/nightmares based on what you get.

I also looked into removing Cloudflare from my github pages hosted website, but I need IPV6 support, and github pages doesn’t have that (1). Cloudflare proxies those requests to IPV4 so my website is accessible to everyone in the world.

Pasteurization mitigates a lot of microbiological risks associated with raw milk unless the utmost care is taken during its production and storage. It is still advisable that pregnant women, small children and immunocompromised persons do not consume raw milk and products made from it.
That's awesome. Excellent work! It even saves state in the browser.

My two minor critiques:

1. Code blocks should receive a monospace font.

2. Entering and exiting child lists, a list of a list item, by just typing is challenging.

This is unrelated to the OP because Honda exclusively supply engines and do not have a works Grand Prix team.

When the sport was awash with tobacco money about 15 years ago, the big teams all had an entire testing team, completely divorced from their race team, which would spend most days of the year simply hammering around the racetracks of Europe, at astronomical expense. Such things are illegal now because if they were not the sport would be dead within five years.

Yes, except OP being offered surgery for "ligament and tendon rerouting" as the solution to a problem the doctors spent just a few minutes understanding is the equivalent of your IT guy above suggesting the HR person open up their computer and reroute a bunch of wires, and take out a bunch of capacitors, to "see if it helps".

I think it's irresponsible to talk about all the great things of raw milk without mentioning that it's also dangerous.

Pasteurization isn't mandated because people like the taste. It's one of many safety regulations written in blood.

Many people have died from raw milk, and would still be dying if it was widely consumed

Formula E has also made the conscious decision not to pursue open chassis and aero regulations - good for keeping the costs down, but it makes it harder to take it seriously as a potential future 'pinnacle' series.
I do consider hosting static websites should be very simple. Amazon Cloud service is very complicated for most people, you may need to take a course before going for it. Netlify is good for any beginners and is a great platform. And you can focus more on your website than learning the Amazon service.

I have seen people don't use a CDN even if they use static content. Infact CDNs can speed the delivery of the content much faster for a static website.

got an offer to be the 20th employee or something in a startup as a senior engineer, and they offered me 0.01% of equity or something. I thought that was ridiculously low.
But the same is true for soda or tea.

Sometimes I just want almond milk to be cold right now. And also, the refrigerated milk section tends to be much easier to find than whatever place the store decides to put non refrigerated milks.
I think that's because they want to place the product in both the health food and dairy sections. I don't think it's from any desire to refrigerate it.
Yup. AirBnB. Craiglist. VRBO/HomeAway. Signs at the laundromat.

I guess the presumption is there needs to be enough clickbait via outrage/victimhood to portray the startup as an evildoer by presenting that average people are so completely helpless and inconvenienced by this since they can't even tell which door leads outside. Are thinking, Gargling/DackDackGoething, and/or calling a friend to crash on a couch really so difficult?

Perhaps OTOH and in reality though, it was marketed to SV carpet-bagging gold rush-types who have little in the way of business acumen, domain skills, and/or inherent relentless resourcefulness as some sort of "quick fix shortcut" housing-meets-social intros to the right crowds? With the exception of badass folks from completely different countries, RR folks would never need such a service because they already know people. It seems like more of a magical service trying to allow people to "buy-in" to the illusion of a social standing rather than earning/demonstrating their way in; this is the same as a lot of golf clubs, which doesn't confer a sense of community, but who really wants the bar to be so low that anyone is allowed in just because they have money?

I'm conflicted on it at as service, but if it makes some people happy even though they're actual stuck at the ITT Technical Institute-Junior Varsity league, whatevs. The story title was a bit clickbait-ish.

The difference here is that a good brain is adding value to society. A good face (arguably) isn't.
Correct me if I'm wrong. I'm guessing that the risk depends on how the cows are kept. Industrialization of milk farming introduced high concentration of cows in cramped spaces, which led to disease/bacteria spread. I'm guessing this, because we kept milk cows for thousands of years and didn't use pasteurization. If that's true, and you know that your milk cow is kept in good conditions, you should feel comfortable drinking its milk raw.

Again, correct me if I'm wrong.
Yes, I used to do the same. Though I found my whole family is lactose intolerant and we eventually became vegan.

From a safety point of view, the tuned mass damper was a nightmare. A small heavy object that must move freely in the car is hard to secure if a crash happens, and they do happen at very high speeds every single year. It's the same story with the skirts - they make the cars produce very efficient downforce, except when they don't work for whatever reason and the car continues in the state of motion is was in, almost always into a barrier.
I've happily signed non-competes here in 'straya, confident that they were so unreasonable as to be unenforceable.
How to Become a Better Programmer – Watch This If You Are a Programmer
When I was hiring in industry for computer vision, by the end I honestly didn't even look at people's publications. GitHub, any skills they list, and examples of projects they worked on. What got published at the end seemed to have no impact on what was important for industry.
You're totally right! I haven't seen those since I was a kid and forgot them.

This is something I've been wondering if possible for a while too; and it is one of the reason I resigned from my previous job, to spend my full time in reading papers, reaching out to researcher, implement/test existing papers. Fortunately, the software side of robotics is still possible to test/conduct independent research with help of simulations, open source code/platforms and papers.

But I'm very new to this, so I would like to know more about your experience (limitation, downside/pros) doing this!
Apart from breach of contract (which is already mentioned), there’s also the practical issue of acquiring a license. Apple no longer sells licenses for macOS separately. This means that getting ahold of a macOS license without resorting to copyright infringement will be difficult.
If you are talking of DAS - they spoke with FIA through development process and was ok'ed.

And DAS is made illegal from next year.

Are you saying Ferrari worked with FIA for their sensor cheat last year as well? BTW, none of us on the outside even know what they even cheated on and what the agreement is etc. The theory is that FIA knows there was cheating with the sensors but doesn't have the necessary evidence to prove it.
Having been through this whole cycle I can certainly symphatize with the author. Everything he sees wrong with academia is correct.

Sadly, after a few honeymoon years he will discover almost the exact same problems with industry. Sure, it will not be about papers, but about useless client projects, spinng bad tech choices because of commitments, making your boss/company save face when things fail, spending massive amounts of time on proposals andreporting that will never be read by anyone. Insane administration practices. Pointless HR 'events' in evenings and weekends that chip away team morale...

Thruth: we tend to run from one pigsty to the next, because the grass looks greener, only to realize it was towards the same shit we left behind until we tire of running.

I would advise in hindsight not running, but grabbing a shovel and cleaning a small corner of the barn.
Kubernetes Architecture
At first I thought this post was going to be someone complaining about hooligans on motorcycles doing wheelies in their otherwise quiet neighborhood, wishing they'd just go away. Thanks for not going there, I appreciate it.

I'm someone who enjoys riding a motorcycle fast (on a racetrack, wearing leathers, because I don't want to die and because I like tickets). I can tell you that I very much wish my bike was quieter, even silent. I hate that it bothers the neighbors when I start it early in the morning on a weekend, I hate that it annoys others when I ride on the street.

I used to think the noise was part of what made it fun or cool, now I think it's just an unfortunate side effect of one the things that make it fun and cool[0]. Unfortunately electric motorcycles have too many downsides right now to be a viable alternative.
But what's the notice period? 3-6 months may be enough to kill a pivoting company when otherwise IP and team could be packaged up and sold off. One of the things people seem complain about on HN is that founders of failed companies in SV seem to make off quite well. In fact I believe this mentality helped me take the leap with my startup. The only problem is that I moved to Europe to do it, and the prospects for failed founders are basically lost years.

Can confirm. There was an incredible amount of fog yesterday, and it lingered all day. It also killed all wind seemingly (or maybe vice versa?). The water was eerily dead still in the Puget Sound even late in the afternoon, except for tidal changes from my observation. There were also odd areas of the water which seemingly accumulated logs and other debris with no movement towards shore or away from it. A unique weather day for sure.

As always, a very informative post from Cliff Mass. For those unfamiliar, he’s a Professor of Atmospheric Science at the University of Washington in Seattle, and somewhat of a local legend.
This would be terrible for research. You would be throwing away so-called pure endeavours. Where would pure math fit in your vision? Homotopy Type Theory would be a no-go for instance.

Market forces are not and can't be the start and end of how resources are allocated, especially in academia/research. You would be stiffling that which does not seem to yield immediate, visible results (profit). Except that's what research does. It's why it's called research.
Do you have any backings for that? I was curious about it and the only claims I found is some random GitHub report and comment made by you from the last year or so.
Wow, I didn't see any reply/upvote a couple of hours after posting so thought this would get no comments. what a pleasant surprise to wake up to!

Thank you everyone for the insightful replies!

> But then we lead into #2, your comments on the recipe for success. Among your central points, literally placed in the center, is "great weather". That can't be copied. You have the weather you have. What should the other 99.999% of the world do?

Well, the weather probably is a comparatively small factor, but nonreplicable geographic factors are actually a major factor in the success of most economic hubs, including the Bay Area (aesthetically great weather is one, but a great natural port area, and proximity to abundant agriculture, are also factors.)

Yeah, you can't copy some of those things. Geography matters, it always has.

I actually practice TMI. It works for me, at least to a degree.
Its a little different in India. Legal knowledge is negligible among most employees. Even thought the law says a thing, intimidation and threats always do the trick. No one really drags companies to courts given the long intervals of a case, costs, plus mind boggling amounts of corruption involved in anything.

Secondly even things like notice period are not enforceable. I have seen situations where a manager would block a person's relieving letter for standards 3 months waiting, while the receiving company wants the candidate to join in a month. The candidate asked for manager to give it in writing in a mail and the manager instantly approved the notice period to be reduced to a month.

These days the internal separation portals block such approvals, and getting it changed is a long drawn process which will spawn beyond a person's notice period. And if a person requests a change while they are employed they will be fired.

Existence of a law means nothing in India.
I tried Anbox on a relatively fast tablet a few months ago and it was a bit choppy, but everything worked! Something I found weird is that it needs a daemon to run, integration didn't seem very deep yet either.
Longer term I'd be happy if it was deeply integrated, with Android apps running just like native ones.
Currently it still seems to need a daemon and a complete running Android system. Does anyone know whether it's something one could get around or are we stuck with that?
It is crazy innovative. Not to mention Mercedes rear suspension geometry - but they don't provide a visual spectacle, just raw speed. If we removed the design restrictions, we'd see fairly similar cars anyway.
> Windows runs on the pi4 (and now has x86 emulation, IIRC).

That's new to me. Is the rpi4 and window's x86 emulation performant enough to use popular windows-only apps like the Adobe suite?
In a way, yes. Racing slicks are cheap in comparison to the kind of budgets we’re talking about here - and that cost per unit would go down if they were making and using more.

Engineering out the last infinitesimal bit of rain out of something is expensive.

F1 was much more interesting when things like the Tyrell P34 were allowed to exist
So you can switch between different inputs such as multiple game consoles, DVD-player, Apple-tv/Roku/whatnot, computer/chromecast, etc.

You can get splitters but that's still not as convenient as just being able to switch with the tv's remote.
Need to go far further than just splitting it into three parts.
I am a programmer, obviously I label stuff; it is my job. I do not have to prove majority; the point was that ‘no one in the eu’ agrees with the course of action on immigration. This is plain crap as I do not know any of the people who would vote Agree in the polls you linked. We must move in different circles. Sure I hear of loudmouths whining and making it appear as they are the general opinion. We have it better here than most of the world, so it is bored (as you do not have to work very hard in a lot of parts of the EU to have a nice life) people who sit behind their geraniums crying that their immigrant neighbour has a bigger Prius and need to whine about things (which is very dutch, although apparently we are some of the happiest people on earth according to polls you value so much) while they do not have a solution. They mostly do not want these people to die, but they do not want them shelters next door. I have no different solution, nor do you, so the current way will continue, whining or no whining. People are not massively protesting immigration so the sideline whiners can fill out a poll but otherwise do not leave their house (which they probably got from the state); any protests are a few 100, less than we get against zwarte piet. In the village I grew up in, Geldermalsen, there was an actual riot of a handful of people against immigration to a center there; I saw the videos and pics friends sent via/via; I know most of the people and/or their parents in the video: all extreme right voters and racists. The dutch biblebelt is no picnic. There were not very many of them though; they just made a lot of noise...
Yes burying each of them too.
It doesn't look like that's actually the case, as Dolby's promo page for "Dolby Atmos for the home" calls out having "up to 128 simultaneous independent audio objects in a mix":

I think most home theater systems end up mixing down to Dolby surround channels practice, of course. My receiver supports Atmos, but I still only have five speakers. :)

It is all for taste. Heating leads to changes in the proteins and sugars (caramelization / maillard reaction) affecting the taste. The more heat and the longer the time it is applied, the more pronounced this change is.

IMHO there is more to SV than just that. Case in point, in Germany non-competes are basically non-enforceable, patentble inventions have to be offered to your current employer so. But only if they are directly linked to your current job, not which equipment yu are using. And if it is not directly linked to your current job, it's all yours.

And still, we don't have anything near to SV over here.

Raw milk is objectively tastier, more nutritious, and keeps for longer; the dangers of foodborne illness can be greatly mitigated with proper sourcing, which will also help control the amount of pesticides and antibiotics that make their way into the milk (something you can't really do with processed milk).

There are certain gourmet cheeses that can only be made with raw milk; to make them with pasteurized milk is not only blasphemous, it yields objectively inferior product.
btw, there are many different method beside pastorization and UHT.
beside an "sterilized" milk (obtained with 20 mins at 116-120 °C) and others intermedied heat treatments there is also the microfiltration: the milk pass through a microscopic membrane, that "filter out" the patogenic elements
I'm really surprised this isn't the standard everywhere. In NZ it's quite similar and very strict; if any trace of antibiotic is detected in a batch of milk it is rejected, and the offending farmer must pay for it (easily $1,000s, probably much more).

Aside from the resistance issue, one reason for this is quite simple; antibiotics in the milk mean you can't make cheese with it. If a cow needs antibiotics, they are separated from the herd for a few days until they are clear (and also can't be slaughtered for meat for a longer period of time).
