> However, using org-mode and exporting to LaTeX is a winning combo for me.

Yeah there are plenty of relatively easy to use lightweight markup languages which can generate LaTeX[0]. If you don't need the specific properties of LaTeX but want the option of LaTeX-typeset output, use something else and compile to PDF through LaTeX.

[0] because Pandoc generates LaTeX even if the reference implementation doesn't.
Yes, I can imagine being outraged in that situation. However I would also understand this is how life in a society works. Sometimes my personal needs come second to the needs of the society.

I don't personally agree with the US's war on drugs for example. There is probably an argument that on total sugar is more damaging to American society than marijuana. If society decided to ban sugar, I wouldn't be thrilled, but I would understand it.
Nope, reference counting is a GC algorithm, and having a tracing GC doesn't preclude other forms of memory management, e.g. D or .NET Native.

In the current "us vs them" of politics, apologizing does nothing to appease "them" while making you seem weaker to "us" and denying it means you will be given the benefit of the doubt by "us."

If e.g. Kavanaugh had admitted assaulting Ms. Ford and apologized, do you think enough Democrats would have said "Apology accepted" and voted to confirm to make up for the Republicans who would be unwilling to vote to confirm someone who has admitted to sexual assault? As long as Kavanaugh denies it, everyone who votes for him can just publicly say that they believed his denial, whether or not they actually did believe it.

It's a shame you're being downvoted as you're right, CRLs and OCSP do practically nothing _for webbrowsers_

OSCP is flawed because you can block the connection, meaning

1) Your browswer has to accept it (thus an attacker feeding you the bad certificate can bypass OSCP)

2) Your browswer blocks completely (thus DOSsing all connections), and people use another browser

CRLs don't scale - you can't keep a cached list of every revoked cert globally.

However I pull down the CRLs for my internal CA every few hours onto my internal https sites, which rely on a client presenting a valid certificate to connect. If that doesn't get pulled down, I get a warning about it in the monitoring system. When a client with a client certificate connects, I check against my local cache of the CRL, and if it's been revoked, it can't connect.

What problem do you have on your private CA internal network that CRLs fix but browsers don't? Are you that concerned that your server certificates get compromised? You should be working to massively reduce the time those certificate are valid.

If you can make a fire and you have a metal container, some copper tubing and another container, you can extract the water from the urine the same way you can remove water from salt-water. Boil the urine in a metal container, connected to copper tubing. The copper tubing needs to be in something cool to convert the steam to water or you will lose it in the atmosphere. If you have a big enough container, this is fine, you basically build a poor-persons distillation setup. This isn't perfect but it doesn't have to be.

Another method is reverse osmosis, which is just applying a large amount of pressure and forcing the fluid through a membrane, but this is not practical on the trail.
Well... It's what - $36 for the food, $10 delivery fee, $10 Postmates fees and 20% tip on top = $68(rounded up)...

Truth is - if you're paying $36+tip for the same food delivered, you're literally enabling underpayment of the delivery person.

System Preferences -> Siri and then disable the Ask Siri checkbox in the left.
the problem with 3 is that often it is more accurately stated something like:

"Assume someone else will develop better technology that will fix the problem."

That's not optimism, it's magical thinking.

A common fallacy of our time is to think that the observed fact that technologies have been developed with massive impact means that we can summon such advances at will in the areas we choose.

> How does history remember them now?

You've picked a set of figures whose historical legacy spans a very wide spectrum. At one end (largely positive) are Tecumseh and Sitting Bull, and at the other are (largely negative) are Osama and the Confederacy. Shays sits somewhere in the middle, mostly because other than history buffs no one even knows who that is.
It's a shame comments like this require throwaway accounts on hacker news.

People refuse to consider the other sides perspective, insisting that they are right without doing the mental exercise to even consider the other side having a shred of truth or valuable thought. There are very smart people on all sides of the political spectrum.

What makes it worse, is if you don't take the time to consider the other side's perspective, YOU are fueling the hate and polarization.

I'd strongly recommend https://www.allsides.com for a relatively quick and easy way to get exposed to both sides.
>They are afraid of Taiwan because Taiwan is the living example that China can prosper without the CCP.

You can not compare the racially and culturally homogeneous Taiwan to the whole of China. A country like China has 0 chance of remain whole without authoritarian leadership.

>They are afraid of Hong Kong because it's an example of resistance to the regime.

They are not, they crapped their pants and with time things will get worse for them.

>They are afraid of religions because no matter how much you punish someone, you won't be able to make them worship you instead.

They just don't want the west of China to become a playground for Islamic terrorists.
The key word here is likely rapid. Doing a suborbital hop is much faster than going through atmosphere, because you get to accelerate to much higher velocities. Even supersonic planes take forever to get anywhere, while a suborbital hop would let you get to any place on the planet in under 2 hours.

The whole of the party is his potential rival.

Xi will never be safe from the party. The moment he runs out of steam, and presents a chance for power to be taken from him, someone, out of many millions of ranked party cadres, is just ought to take advantage of the situation.

Remember, both Kruszev, and Deng were relatively small fish at the time they seized power, as was the case for power takeovers in a lot of single party regimes.

It was quite clear that you were conflating many things.

As to whether it would hurt monitisation. I don't think it will and even if it did I don't care they have more money than most countries do. If they must be required to by legal means so be it.

Also they already kinda allow some of this when you enable developer mode via a Mac with the appropriate iOS developer account. So there is no reason why they cannot do this tomorrow without the paywall.
The Red Plenty was a great book and is highly recommended reading.

I'm reading a book right now called "Why Nations Fail" (a little drier but definitely worth the read) and it argues that part of the reason why strongly centralized economies fail is that politics gets in the way of optimizing for growth.

E.g. maybe USSR communism could have worked better if there wasn't, say, the coal minister standing in the way of moving resources away from coal to a better use of capital.
It's a reference to a book called "Snow Crash"

This puts Apple's 1984 commercial completely in a different light.

As they roll over to their own silicon, it is going to evolve from being a closed system to being a really really closed system.

Twenty three years ago, Apple briefly flirted with a completely different future with the PowerPC/CHRP architecture. Briefly. At that time, I did not see them heading off in the direction that they have.
A test with a 50% chance of being wrong isn't a test
I agree. However for a lot of people, their workloads have been running on x86 forever, maybe their production instances are not reproducible, and with combinations of cpu/memory/io being limited, at scale this could cost $$$. I’m just curious to see how this will pan out.
I'm definitely in the former camp so I'm curious what the breakdown is.
I will also agree with you accepting makes only weaker. Nowadays, being cool in the team means troll others and joke about your mistakes or put it under the carpet. When someone agrees for mistake and apologies for doing that it gives trolls food for the next year. This post says the right thing to do from book theory. I have tried this. it doesn't work in practical terms. I want opinion from troll camp (who have done trolling others for making mistakes)
Compose, Pipe, and Curry from Scratch
What a great write up! Looks very promising. Right now, I'm wondering how everything will be priced, especially, the compute-time. Because if the price is low, you would be able to replace a lot of complicated servers with easier and more scalable workers.

According to [0], they will - obviously - charge for both compute-time and storage operations, and with the price of storage operations expected to be around Workers KV. Assuming that compute-time is charged at minimum at-or-higher than Workers Unbound, using workers for chat-rooms and other WebSocket stuff would be unfeasible. Workers Unbound costs $12.50 per MM-GB-sec - given that the server is 128 MB (the current fixed memory size) - the price per-worker-second would be at least $0.0000016 per connected-worker. It could get expensive fast.

That’s only sort of true, depending on how they do it. They advertise “promotional credits” which I assume do fall under the category of marketing expenses. Yesterday, I saw an ad that gave me a code for a $100 delivery credit from DoorDash. If I use it, my receipt will show a charge for delivery, and then a promotional credit that offsets that. I believe those credits can be reported as marketing expenses, and revenue would be the gross amount of the charge.
> A pitfall of this mentality, at least in my experience, is that people I hurt are usually much better judges of whether I hurt them than I am.

It would be easier if people just talked more about their feelings even if they don't understand me. If I hurt someone and they just say something like "look I feel weird because of this and this that happened between us", then I can process and understand what went wrong. I spent some years running teams and doing management and I used 1v1s for this to really good results.

I do that and a lot of my closest friends also do that. I think people that expect you to read their feelings are the ones that are going to get hurt if they spend time around because they have unrealistic expectations. I can only feel my feelings, or get empathetic with people that have opened up to me before. I can't be apologizing all the time just in case, that's also ridiculous and even though a lot of people do it in, specially in California, I think it comes down as condescending and sometimes even egotistical.
I get that it wasn't your intent, but you're underestimating how provocative it was. That's standard for internet comments. Most provocation is unintentional, which why it always feels like other people cause the problem.

No, it shows it performs better? Go look again at the numbers in the linked comparison. Also calling it low-end is misleading, the 1050Ti was solidly mid-tier, and also a dedicated graphics card used in desktop machines. This is comparing it to integrated graphics in a lightweight laptop (the M1 in the recently announced MacBook Air).
In the West, centralized religion historically was the government. They collected taxes, managed large scale projects, handing down justice, maintained postal networks, etc.

There's a reason that England's split from the Catholic church lead to a civil war and eventually the 1689 Bill of Rights: it was a coup.
I wouldn't be nearly as outraged at Prop 22 if it simply repealed AB5. However it goes much beyond that. It is a proactive law that prevents new and better laws from being created. It creates a new protection for these companies.

This isn't a win for small government.
First, congrats on making it this far! That's amazing and a huge feat.

Second, no you're not crazy. It is risky, but not crazy. Are there a few things you can do to derisk your decision? Identify what you would need to know to feel comfortable and work back from that to form testable hypotheses. Then figure out how much time/money/effort it would cost to test those hypotheses.

If that seems like too much work, or you still won't have the certainty, I wouldn't go all in, but there's one other option before shutting it down. Can you sell the business? Maybe to a search fund or a small investor? I'd get in touch with Arvid Kahl, here or on Twitter if I were you.

Best of luck!
AFAIK, Cortes is a Progressive[0], and a congressperson, which puts her in a position of power. She encouraged her supporters to create a list of Trump supporters so they can be denied employment in the future[1]. Jennifer Rubin, likely also a Progressive[2], said: “any [Republican] now promoting rejection of an election or calling to not to follow the will of voters or making baseless allegations of fraud should never serve in office, join a corporate board, find a faculty position or be accepted into ‘polite’ society. We have a list.”

More than apologies, these two at least, are looking to punish.

Do you really know Python can be Used for? Python Libraries for every project
I think of the different approaches available you can make a language workable & convenient with (1) explicit semicolons, like C/Java (2) implicit semicolons, like JS/Go/Haskell and (3) no semicolons like Python/Lua. JS’s specific implementation is definitely the odd one out, like the article says.

One of the funny things about Go’s automatic semicolons is that you can easily trip up gofmt if you type sloppy code and expect gofmt to clean it up for you. For example, let’s say you type this:

func foo() {
if x < 3 {
return 1
} return 2
}

You think, “Oh, I missed the enter key when I was typing it but gofmt will fix it for me.” No, it will not. Syntax error.

> Your being a Neo-Darwinian and your confusion at the possibility of regression or a halt in progress are the same. Once the mollusc has "conceived" of his shell as an "adaptation" to a change in condition, he has "responded" so harshly to environmental dangers that he has closed them off almost entirely, bringing the process of speciation and adaptation to a near halt. In fact, there are countless examples of "tools" "conceived" by organisms that have been so immaculate that development has grinded to halt.

To expand on your point a bit, this brings us around to hill-climbing optimization and being trapped in a local maxima.

Biological evolution is marked by episodes of relatively generalist organisms spreading to new niches, speciating, and sometimes re-invading the environment they came from by outcompeting the original specialized denizens (I'm not necessarily just talking about large scale punctuated equilibrium, but smaller scale species ebb and flow).

So too with software: the cycle of specialization, optimization, ossification, and displacement by a generalist competitor from elsewhere happens over and over ("worse is better" is probably the pithiest expression of this, but "premature optimization is the root of all evil" is pretty nice too).

Evolution itself has evolved to increase generativity, in order to not only speed adaptation to change in general, but to unprecedented change (especially when the changes are themselves driven or exemplified by other organisms).

So too with software, where the change that software must adapt to is often driven by other software.

So software keeps getting invented and changed to optimize for and colonize changing environments (social, economic, hardware, network, and software envs), and languages keep getting invented to improve the processes of optimization & adaptation to change, as well as generativity, for both new and old niches. And of course, the boundary between software and programming language is just as fuzzy as similar boundaries in biology, frameworks and DSLs are just two obvious examples that straddle the division.

Not often appreciated is that all of the above applies just as much to the human social/cultural practices of developing software as it does to the tools those practices co-evolve with (eg. writing/editing, testing, change control, distribution, building, ticketing/issues, deployment, etc.). And we can flip our view around and see how parallel mechanisms have always been operating on human culture from even before we were human.

I think a major problem with communism isn't that it's so difficult to determine what needs to be produced, but that changing resource allocation becomes a political problem.

In a capitalist system, if something looks like it's going to be a big economic hit people are ready to sell off other assets and pour billions of dollars into it. Under communism, there's a guy who doesn't want to lose funding for his department who might have more power than his rivals. To make a techie metaphor, it's why a lot of people have moved to the cloud: you can choose whatever resources you want on the fly, instead of having to battle IT.

To go off on a tangent, I think there's a huge false choice between "free market economic policy" and "bureaucratic centralized economies." If we could just create a market that has an incentive structure that buoys the poor up instead of pushes them down, it would be huge. People still buy and sell based on prices, but we introduce slightly different weighting.
Some amount of in-person-schooling-as-necessary-function makes a lot of sense. We know that kids under 10 are very unlikely to transmit Covid, and younger kids are also the least able to thrive in a remote learning environment. My SO is currently teaching second grade (7-8 year olds) remote, and I get nightmares just imagining trying to keep 7-year-old me staring at a teacher on a computer screen (that was a difficult enough task in person). If you can orchestrate your staff in such a way that they're in limited contact with one another (maybe specials suffer) you can probably teach younger kids safely.
Things like this can be hard to ignore when, say, the angry mob is trying to get you fired.
