> I will bet you any amount of money that the people who need to physically work, and therefore trivially the ones most in need of good masks, aren't the ones buying them at free-market rates.

As the covid19 pandemic showed, they surely are not the ones buying them all all at artificially restricted prices either, because the jackass with the shopping carts and the desperate need to hoard all types of basics decided to clean up the inventory.

> Econ 101 doesn't talk much about the impact of wealth inequality on free-market mechanisms, for some reason.

As much as it might pain you, basic economy principles are a kin to natural laws, in the sense that even if you try your hardest to pretend they don't exist... They are always there.

Additionally, one of the main errors you're making is conflating how economies work with your personal opinion on how you preferred things to happen without paying any attention to unintended consequences, let alone basic relationships between cause and effect.
The way I understand it, the idea is that widgets don't own the state. They are sort of stateless. Your app owns the state.
> And if you need to print photos, order them online from a professional photo printing service.

If you're in the need (like me right now) to print +300 photos in several formats, even shopping at best prices around me, that's something like 150€ for them. For that kind of price I could get a nice home printer, supplies, and afterwards just keep the printer for the future.
What a load of BS
Not sure why this is showing up on HN today. But Dear ImGui is absolutely amazing. And its not just for C++. I use it myself in my C# game engine. (There's a C# port that uses System.Numerics: https://github.com/mellinoe/ImGui.NET) which I've ported to MonoGame https://github.com/roy-t/ImGui.NET)

I've used a lot of different UI frameworks (winforms, WPF, Html/CSS based frameworks, custom game engine frameworks). But for prototyping Dear ImGui and the whole immediate GUI idea is amazing. It even looks quite decent and the new docking support is great :).

> Too bad there's not really a ML/AI ecosystem around (besides Spark, which seems to be losing favor partially because of its embarrassing performance), because using Python is such a drag.

I think it's not that bad. Sure, it loses to Python, but that's some tough competition.

Personally, I find that smile[1] covers most use cases.
Breeze[2] also has a lot of love, but I'm not much of a fan of the `UFunc` abstraction.

I'm also really excited about polynote[3]. It's still a bit green and only supports Scala 2.11/2.12, but it's such a joy to be able to use Scala in notebooks :). You also get Python interop, in case you need to use some specific python library.

P.S.: I hope that Scala's ML/AI libraries other than Spark keep growing, because "embarassing" is a nice way to describe it's performance on everything that's not a "really-huge dataset".

The opposite. If I write code on my own just for myself I use the highest level of brevity.

But if I write code for a team, then in some places I will use explicit type annotations and variable names to aid people unfamiliar with the code to understand what's going on.

What you are saying is pretty much "it's easier when everyone only uses nails, because then all I have to bring is a hammer". I think it's good to use screws sometimes.

However, your second point I agree with. OOP vs. FP is a different story. This is about paradigms not about mere syntax. So here, a team must be aligned, which can be a challange when using Scala. It's not a language for corporate drones.

That section is helpful for researchers both to contextualize the paper and to leave pointers to other papers the current one builds on. You’re right it’s not directly about the method in the current paper but it’s an important section nonetheless, even if it’s a bit meta.
While that is true, it also helps people new to a scientific area. I can read 3-5 papers on a topic and the first chapters of each will give me enough to understand the gist of the topic, the status quo.

It's a question of who you prioritize while writing a paper. Experts or the interested layman.

If you prioritize people who are already experts in the topic, you write little to no introduction, you get to the results quickly.

If you prioritize the "curious, interested layman" (or university students in their first years), a short introduction to a topic with references will provide enough information to understand the basics and the reader can continue reading the rest of the paper with enough context to understand why the topic is relevant.

only the rent-seeking owners and their shareholders 'like' it. if you cannot see how this business model is dehumanizing and parasitic, and sucks wealth to the top, I'm honestly not so sure what to say to you...

SV companies get their wealth from monopolies granted by the state.

“The basic idea is simple; it is that the ‘state vs market’ diagram of the world is flawed. In reality, there is no such thing as The Market; there are many markets. Even the civil service is a market (for funding, promotion, reputation etc). Competition and collaboration are inevitable functions of any human system. Similarly, the concept of ‘big’ or ‘small’ government makes no sense. In the end, we are always taxed and regulated by someone, it is just a question of who, and to what end?

A better way to understand the relationship between ‘the state’ and ‘the market’ is to see nation states as platforms: makers and shapers of markets. They provide the land, infrastructure and set the rules and goals – in the same way that, for example, the App Store creates, regulates and taxes the market for iOS apps.

The moment you begin to look at government through this lens, two things immediately become clear.

First, a lot of what has been sold to us as ‘free market’ capitalism was in fact the opposite; the privatisation of the platform, creating a series of privately owned monopolies protected from competition, extracting taxation without representation, and profits without prosperity.”

It is good you labeled the stage you were (4th year PhD), the article misses this. I would say in the 1st year of my PhD the path was more like this: read the paper slowly top to bottom, understand nothing, now look for the part which looks the most interesting/approachable, read that again. Go to the citations of this section and repeat the process (recursive algorithm). Take note of any papers beiing cited by most of the papers, invest time in this paper. Look for papers citing the paper you read (not possible for cutting edge of course). This process takes probably 2-3 month. Then do own research on that topic, then go back to the paper and now things are clearer. Do the same process with a related paper in the field. Then one more. Probable now you are in year two and one can transition to your approach.

The color fuchsia is named after the plant which is names after the German botanist Leonhart Fuchs, whose surname means "fox" and is pronounced roughly "fooks".

>This library is called Dear ImGui. Please refer to it as Dear ImGui (not ImGui, not IMGUI).

>(The library misleadingly started its life in 2014 as "ImGui" due to the fact that I didn't give it a proper name when when I released 1.0, and had no particular expectation that it would take off. However, the term IMGUI (immediate-mode graphical user interface) was coined before and is being used in variety of other situations e.g. Unity uses it own implementation of the IMGUI paradigm. To reduce the ambiguity without affecting existing code bases, I have decided in December 2015 a fully qualified name "Dear ImGui" for this library.

Yes, but why "Dear"? Makes it read in an odd way wrt to idiomatic English.

> If they were to then charge him for money laundering, then it would mean NZ has 0 trust that any extradition to the US would be honored and future extraditions would be evermore increasingly difficult.

One of the more interesting points with the recent Assange trial, was the evidence presented (by the defence) of the US breaking it's previous commitments to the UK government for treatment of extradited prisoners.

(From memory) apparently other high profile extraditions have only been allowed with certain attached conditions. For example "must be supplied with their medical (diabetes or something like that?) medication", which once extradited were completely ignored.

It sounded like there were several conditions attached to these previous extraditions, and all the conditions have been outright ignored.

So, the trust thing you mention should (in theory) already be on shaky ground.

The only weak point for Svelte is there is no inline template composition (yet; already has a rfc). Anything that doesn't look like function is weak compossibility. Imagine recursively calling template itself with a bunch of condition logics, each branch renders different nested templates, and each of those calling its own ancestor root. Svelte is a joke to this thing.
I also have the impression that CS papers all too often recapitulate the topic's history. I don't see the point. Other fields seem to leave it as "for a review of the topic see", cite someone(s) else, and get on with the paper.

My field of cheminformatics, while CS-adjacent, inherits more strongly from the chemistry traditions. The occasional outsider papers from a CS department generally cause my eyes to glaze over if they follow that history-retelling CS tradition.

Is that changing? And I mean both the long term relationship and the expense having children part? The majority of my male friends are gay and while there are a lot of happily single men there's also a significant chunk who are in healthy long term relationships and a load who are actively looking.

I know less about the children side but I know a few gay men who have adopted, single or as part of a couple, and they described the process as rigorous but not unduly so. I guess this depends where you live, I'm in Scotland, which is supposedly the least homophobic country in the world (an extremely depressing fact) so maybe it's easier for gay men to adopt here.

>Most often, what I am trying to get out of the papers is issues of methodology, experimental design, and statistical analysis.

In lieu of consistently good science journalism, I try to take a peak at these things in the relevant papers as well. But this requires the additional knowledge of knowing the limits of certain 'methodologies, experimental designs, and statistical analyses' and what you can/can't extrapolate. Which, as somebody outside of formal research, I've only put together piecemeal through reading other criticisms.

Are there any good, comprehensive resources for the limits of different study methods/experimental designs?

There was quite some debate on this, going on strong.
It's the official story, no matter how you put it. I'm not saying it's a good thing (in fact, I find it horrible), but it is what it is and I have no idea on how to turn that tide.

There's a lot to be said about freedom of computing, but the fact remains that given the option to screw things up, then some people will do that. At the same time, we have a culture that incentivize catering to the non-technical users in a way that prevents them from screwing things up.

Long story short: If we want to turn this trend, then we need to:

1) Start telling non-technical users that any damage caused through their freedom of action is their own responsibility.

2) Produce competitive products that not only provide the desired amount of freedom, but which also compete on price, desirability, usability and the impression that the products are secure enough to use.

In many cases, 1 will be seen as a way of avoiding responsibility, and it'll take a tremendous amount of effort to convince users (and consumer protection agencies) that they should be less protected just in case someone else decides to tinker with their product. That alone makes 2 more or less impossible.
I'm bit bummed by this one. It sounds nice on the surface, but it seems like it's basically re-implementing a program that the state is starting to implement, but more expensive. The $300 million could be spent on problems that are city-specific: homelessness, adorable housing, economic recovery to name a few. I think we could get a lot more value for the community out of such a large price tag, especially without duplicating state-level work.
