Honestly, even putting aside the social and community aspects. When I’m evaluating a technical offering I’m often very willing to pay for “hosted xyz”. I feel like I’m reading through the tea leaves to understand which AWS product offering is more or less a hosted offering of an open source product and what additions AWS has made that might change performance characteristics. Even without upstreaming changes, if the offering were pitched as “hosted X with these additions unique to aws” I would likely choose the hosted option over operating it myself.

It goes without saying though that supporting the open source core (and the core developers) would also go a long way.
And of course the cars would track everywhere you go, supposedly just to choose which ads to show to their captive audience.

Back when my daughter was an infant, I got up for one of those late night feedings. The goal was to not fully wake myself up, so I kept all the lights off. But since I was up anyway... why not have a little midnight of that leftover birthday cake on the counter?

I cut a slice in the dark kitchen and took a big bite. Why does this cake taste exactly like bleu cheese? OH SHIT.

Turned on the light and discovered I was eating cake covered in giant blotches of blue-black mold. It took a long time to get the taste out of my mouth.
Taxes are lower in both those places (source: I moved from Brisbane AU to Austin TX). The idea that the US (and CA in particular) is a low tax place to live is a really successful urban myth.

I would try Auckland before you buy. It's cold compared to all your other places.
Meta-comment about medical studies. Suppose that an intervention's effect is contingent on some variable. For high-profile treatments, wouldn't it make sense to isolate those variables (for the cases where it did help, but the overall result over the entire population was neutral) and run a second trial?
I follow a yeast-free diet to control an auto-immune disease. Practicing it is impossible while eating "normal" food in this country. It's mind-boggling to me how it's both "known" that yeast causes systemic inflammation via the innate immune system (dectin1/beta-glucan and many others) and it's not consciously understood by "science" that people are consuming an inflammatory substance in large quantities all the time in many forms. For instance, who knows how to avoid yeast extract, un-distilled alcohol and vinegar, soy sauce, leavening yeast? Yeast is put into vaccines as an adjuvant, yet nobody has put it together that eating it is also another way for it to enter the body.
Nim and Red are quite different languages, both in terms of semantics and in terms of project's goals and scope. Perhaps you should elaborate on an intersection that you see between the two.

I can speak only for Red: it takes its heritage in Lisp, Forth and Logo, has an embeded cross-platform GUI engine with a dedicated DSL for UI building, C-like sub-language for system level programming, OMeta-like PEG parser, and unique type system with literal forms for things like currencies, URLs, e-mail and dates with hashtags; all of that fitting in one-megabyte binary and valuing human-centered design above all.
I've been practicing for years and consuming a lot of wim's video content, and I've never heard any kind of appeal to metaphysics let alone anything related to supernatural abilities.

Wim Hof believes in the scientifically observable ability of the human body when it is put into a primed oxygenated state. Full stop. That's it.

Your comment only serves to muddy the water and confuse anyone who may be casually interested in WH.
I recommend all of the books referenced in the original post. They are all very good. But the expectation of an engineering manager is fairly simple:

Do whatever it takes.

Way back in February or March, when we were still working from the office, I walked to the drug store on the corner and got Lysol wipes and hand sanitizer for everyone. Because, do whatever it takes.
There is a link in another of my comments here and because Nim is pretty open architecture you can roll your own basis for what you want (more than most languages) such as: https://github.com/mratsim/weave
I notice it when I've stayed awake too long, and am exhausted. So I agree.
Linkage Mechanism Designer and Simulator
I don’t know if this is true for linked-lists/arrays: but it is sometimes true that an O(1) algorithm is slower than an O(n) one, for small ns (hash-table vs. a linear search of a list of pairs is one example of this).

For almost all of these questions I’d be concerned about unusual edge cases: like, I believe it’s possible for two processes to share the same IP/Port on Linux, if you set the right socket options.
UX Primer – Outlining User Types and Creating User Stories
I understand the concerns that are trying to be presented in this article. But I think the examples they use tend to confuse the point they are trying to make about data being gathered and used by a a machine to independently make a decision to kill someone.

The first example they give is two humans with an intention for harm have programmed some machines to do harm. Which is the human making the decision and not any different.

Some subtlety is also missed in the range of data being processed by AI/machine learning and presenting intermediate conclusions to a human (who still has to make the final decision) that may or may not be correct or inherently biased.

I'm surprised there is no mention of something like Google Project Maven in the article.
To focus on another point the person you're replying to thought was the focus, limiting length of stay in the hospital would be valuable, even if it didn't affect mortality. Especially when one of the potential problems with COVID is running out of beds.

SF's population has been fairly stable since the 50's. And it didn't really take part in the tech scene until the 00's. The population of SF isn't going anywhere. If tech transplants move out, there's plenty of people that will want to move back. They won't be as rich though so prices will probably drop a bit.
I think this is an exaggeration. Short/Long takes are an artistic decision. We have recent movies that are a few long takes (sometime pretending to be a single take) 1917, Birdman, Russian Ark (true single take) all shot in recent years. Same with TV: True Detective has a famous long take scene, Mr. Robot, BCS.
Huh. I stand corrected. Was your lawsuit about a bad review?
Neglecting mental health and education to protect people against Covid infections at all costs is disturbingly common. But neglecting people actually suffering from Covid, that's an original absurdity.

As I understand it, influenza mutates much faster than coronaviruses do. "The" common cold is really a whole bunch of unrelated viruses lumped together, and I haven't heard anything about the other coronaviruses that cause common colds mutating any faster than Covid.
> It's completely possible he rediscovered it independently, and free from the religious trappings.

Yes it is possible but highly unlikely. He himself claims practising yoga for years. How do you justify him never coming across eight parts of Yoga? Moreover on his website he admits similarities with Buddhist meditation but reluctantly[1] and justifies by claiming of "stripping the religious aspects" just like you.

so as far as religious trappings are concerned, Hinduism and Buddhism aren't religions in Abrahmic sense. There is no creed to be followed, there are no prophets, and you don't have to follow commandments to achieve eternal bliss in after life. Buddhism and Jainism don't even have gods per say.

Word Dharma comes from Sanskrit root dhri, which means maintains the stability and harmony of self, society, environment, and universe. This means there are no prohibitions but only principles to be followed to maintain the balance. Depending upon the situation same principle might suggest diametrically opposite actions.

I am clueless but I'd like to ask: when you say "it will evolve toward yet-another-cold"... does it mean it'll be as harmless as the common cold or as common as the common cold but as dangerous as covid19 ?

I have super mixed feelings about Athena. While it certainly helps JPM standardize app construction and deployment, like all standardized components it also strands the developers at JPM in the late 2000s. I estimate there are between 200-300mm lines of Python at JPM ;) Most of it badly written as long scripts and probably 80% of them use pandas, badly.
Hi, author here. I'm new to Racket and obviously no expert. I realized this problem, but I wasn't sure about the best way to go about fixing it, do you have any suggestions?
A lot of the other comments are describing teachers who went on to have successful or talented students, much like the parent. Consider the inverse case, which probably sounds out of left field to you - the cult leader.

Many cults start out with self-help gurus or educators who create closed groups with high demands. Cult leaders often promise special abilities to their students, if they just stick with them. The results are pretty much the opposite of what the parent is describing - the members are lost history and often don't achieve much and the narcissism of the cult leader defines the group. Unlike what the OP is describing - the proper teacher is more or less obscure and the network of students all go onto achieve highly.

I guess this is just a long, roundabout way to say that humility and skill amplify much farther than even genuine skill and charisma. Maybe there's something to also be said about the altruism of a good teacher versus the high-demands of a cultic following.
Been using nix package manager on Ubuntu, so far the experience has been mixed, while the package management and nixpkgs is great but the tooling and documentation around the nix language are lacking.

It's one of those tools that are technically miles ahead of their competitors but struggle to gain traction because of beginners facing little cuts and bruises in using them.

That's why I'm interested in the Nix Modules proposal to be presented in the conference that aims to bring better usability to the language with types and docs.

Also the updated website is a lot easier to navigate now and explains the use cases of nix quite well
It's just that things tend to happen much more quickly, easily, and serendipitously if you live in the VCs' neighborhood. It's the same thing as why people advocate for being physically in the office, for face-to-face meetings and "passing in the hall" moments.
We constantly lie to ourselves and to each other about why we like and do the things that we do. Split brain experiments prove a hemisphere will simply make something up, lacking some key information provided only to the other hemisphere, and you will honestly believe the made-up explanation is correct.

Your entire identity, hobbies, likes and relationships are a construct of your environment, genes and randomness. I personally feel that "Being who you are", "Staying true to yourself" etc, are very negative things to tell someone, that we tell each other like crabs in a bucket. You absolutely can and should shape your identity around what type of person you want to become in the future. You can objectively look at your likes and behaviors and decide to replace them. If you're on the spectrum, like I suspect a lot of HN readers are, in some ways it's even easier to take this kind of detached view of yourself. Personally, I used to really like X, it was a core part of my identity. One day I simply decided to not do X anymore, I didn't like the people doing X and I didn't see any successful people in my orbit, and I replaced it with Y & Z. It changed the type of people I was around, it changed my career path, and my core personality. Just like you can choose to work on your computer, house, you car, etc. you can choose to work on your identity, personality and likes. There is no one true yourself, just many different versions and possibilities.
I wonder why we never hear serious talk of trying to cure the common cold. It reminds me of how people who talk about curing aging are seen as crackpots. Unlike cancer, aging and colds are seen as inevitable by people, and any attempt to cure them, or even talk about the fact that we should, is seen as fanciful.
Open source software is something that has no meaningfully similar parallel in any other industry, and that has created untold billions (trillions?) of value across the world while also allowing literally anyone to carve out a piece of that value.

That is special. That is wonderful. It is a place for idealism. And honestly, it's worth getting angry about when people (and companies) don't respect it and improve upon it.
Ah! That makes a lot more sense. I was thinking this article was more about abundance, but somehow missed the real title.
I think you're demonstrating my point. It sounds like you're going with what you intuitively think "implies" must mean like you would if you saw it written in a news article, when instead the article is using a formal logic definition that would appear appears often in logic/math proofs.

You really need to look at the truth table the implies operator and read off the answer from there. There'd be no confusion if the operator didn't have a name that roughly matched something we say in casual language.

Ice still forms on the inside of my well-insulated, double-paned windows most nights during the (Minnesota) winter with the thermostat set for 66 or 67 degrees Fahrenheit. I've always thought it was the condensation freezing from humid air hitting the freezing-cold window.

I'm sure that extremely cold inside temperatures would exacerbate the problem, though.

> In terms of where would this work, umm, maybe in an old OS that didn't have the protection, or perhaps dynamically linking libs?

Modern OSes all have shared memory functionality. And dynamically linked libs are a complicated thing, so it's both yes and no there, at least on some OSes, while on others it's a clear no :)

> Neither, it's pass by copy from what I recall.

Pass by copy is the same thing as pass by value.

In C and Pascal the definitions are pretty clear, but people insist on using them on other languages where they don't make sense. Let's extend it a bit: is Haskell a pass by value or pass by reference language? What about Prolog?

About breakpoints, they usually have hardware support. But since Java runs on a virtual machine, I have no idea it the buck stops at the JVM or if they use the hardware interface.
We can discuss what kind of armed he was, but the fact that he was armed is not controversial, and that it the one and only point I am making.

I'm also making it in good faith, because it's entirely possible that all of the bad reporting on it would lead someone to believe that he was unarmed. That's the only reason for any of these replies.
Duktape supports ES5, with only partial support for anything ES6+ (and not much partial support, at that).

That said - having used Duktape in production, it's a very handy little library. Small, easy to drop into projects, great way to add support for custom user scripts or to run js code somewhere outside of a browser context.

Also - insanely easy to target still, despite the lack of ES6+, as long as you already have babel somewhere in your build pipeline.
No, it's actually the other way around: Red and Rebol are interpreted by default, and Red has a bootstrapping AOT compiler capable of bridging it with Red/System (a C-like sub-language), which it turn targets machine code. However, since Red is highly dynamic, compiler cannot preserve semantics across the whole language, so it keeps some parts for the interpreter to process at run-time. And sometimes that's the only option, since code can be generated on-the-fly or pulled over the network: Red is homoiconic and has quite powerful meta-programming facilities on top of that.
"They know only the rules of a generation of self-seekers. They have no vision, and when there is no vision the people perish.

The money changers have fled from their high seats in the temple of our civilization. We may now restore that temple to the ancient truths. The measure of the restoration lies in the extent to which we apply social values more noble than mere monetary profit.

Happiness lies not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort. The joy and moral stimulation of work no longer must be forgotten in the mad chase of evanescent profits." [1]

BSD and MIT licenses can be used with the advertising clause, and you can add anything you want. Similarly, you can add clauses to the GPL if you want.

Licenses are contracts. You can add to the contract that people who fork must do star-jumps every morning, if you feel like; but you have to state it upfront.
It would be nice if that were incorporated into a well-known, publicized, and lawyer-vetted license.

The problem is if I tack it on myself, nobody will ever touch or use my code even in the ways I want them to, because people fear obscure licenses if they don't have lawyers.

If I release code as GPL, BSD, MIT, Apache, people will use it without second thoughts. IF I release code as "BSD with modifications" people will look at it with suspect eyes.

The effect I want to have is NOT to prevent large companies from using my code. In fact I want to encourage them to use it, but to also publicly mention me along with its use, which would be very valuable to career-building and job seeking. That way, when writers of open source code aren't offered jobs by the companies that use that code, at least they gain high visibility for other companies to want to hire them.
I'd count that as preventing deaths since that's the point of being treated in a hospital.
