No, it's a symbol of the degradation of US political capability in the 21st century.

To be more explicit: why build a telescope like this if you axiomatically believe the free market will do everything worth doing and that the government projects are waste by definition? There was a time when those ideas weren't so dominant, and that's when the US built many of its nice things that we still celebrate today.

What do you use to download the music?
Really? I get my best music recommendations from normal YouTube. I figured their music service would be solid. Apple Music which I primarily use can’t find me new artists that I like, and when I had Spotify it was awful.
I honestly never found this an issue. Shorthand and type coercion is used a lot but at least when taught, it's usually made very explicit what notation means and when things are being excluded. After that point, the notation is the least challenging part.

We actually use this library to provide the ability to "one-click" share projects in Refinery. It works really well (except in Incognito)!

If you go to this[0] link, you'll see a bunch of nodes in a graph. Each one represents an AWS Lambda that will be deployed (and an API endpoint). The edges between are "microservice" calls between Lambdas that get configured with the deploy too.

That's all coming from a Git repo here[1].

And if you edit the project by adding more blocks, it will actually push a commit to Git (if you're signed up and auth'd GitHub). Each block is just a folder, and the "project" is a YAML file. We have a bi-directional "compiler" that lifts/drops the project in either direction.

This library made it super easy to ship this. We tried using the server first and it was a huge pain. We just had to setup a GitHub proxy to make this work. It's stateless now (your browser does the work) :)

Probably a bit dumb to invest in any single stock if you aren't already pretty wealthy, but being public has a lot of reporting requirements that make it pretty hard for it to be an outright fraud.

With a public company, your investment might lose value, but you are probably not going to get completely ripped off. That's not the case if you invest in a private company without doing due diligence.

I never saw any convincing argument that AMP helped pushed a walled garden, at least not in any common accepted sense of that term.

It was open source, it was used by many others including competitors, it was optional and it didn't block access from anyone. Having an AMP version in no way "locked" you to any garden, AMP versions aren't even meant to be the canonical page anyways.

It may have had a lot of issues, but "walled garden" would not be one of them.
I write the times as two crossing lines, and an X as two vertical arcs that touch in the middle. Now they are easy to distinguish. It isn't until I went looking for an image of it that I figured out how weird this is.

I also draw a y with one stroke so that it has a visible curve. That keeps a bad y and bad times from looking like each other.
Sure, that's fine, but to say that it is an invalid method of proof is wrong.

If I want to prove A, and I prove A <=> B for some proven statement B, then I have proven A! There is no question! Feels like crazy pills to think otherwise. This is a kind of backwards reasoning!

I hear Floatplane is pretty good these days and really should check it out as the initial creators were more technical than average YouTube (Linus Media Group aka LTT). I have YT premium so won't see any changes but it's not something I'd advocate signing up for at this point. I'm locked into like 2013 pricing and am not touching YT Music.

This is definitely a Google push that will change the platform, I think. RoosterTeeth founders have pushed the whole "your content, your site, your store/etc" for a decade at least and though FloatPlane might be a capable rival as it builds more creators I think that is still true. You need to own your own distribution methods even if YT or another site is primarily where your views come from but that takes resources away from creating your primary content. Hard to do for a solo creator.
Doom came out right when I left univeristy. Loved that game. I like the new Dooms too. I think they're fun. Way more "doom like" than anything else I've played since.

The "New Doom" music/sound producer gave a pretty good GDC one hour talk about the music came about. Some fun stories there ( the sound easter egg story was fun). Its more than about just the sound, its about process and change.

I'm not sure that most of us have issue with the $100 cost of entry... even if it were $100 for each app for store submission and a lesser fee for updates to offset the review costs even. The issue comes down to if you spend even a modest amount of time/money on development of something to jump into a vast sea of competition, where someone searching for the name of your app specifically cannot find you and to add insult to injury takes 30% if your gross before you're even able to recoup costs and there's no way to work around their distribution or payment models.

Take Netflix for example, which doesn't run on Apple's distribution network... Should Apple have to pay for part of the deployment of all the assets and feeds? They don't... the margins are already thin and Apple frankly doesn't deserve 30% of that recurring revenue.
I'm having mostly the same experience. I've always considered myself a bit odd because I enjoy wearing different "nice" clothes. When I was younger I struggled because, ironically, I HATE shopping. But then came the internet.

Anyway, the site is pretty cool because it opens my mind up to new ideas. But I had a lot of suggested outfits that were the same color of different pieces (no contrast as you said) and multiple jackets.

Wonder if it "learns" my style over time? I'd like to see this continue to grow. And maybe instead of the schedule feature, it could give me links to buy. I imagine monetization isn't far off if there's decent traffic.
Not a radio astronomer (hoping one chimes in), but my understanding is that it’s about sensitivity (what’s the faintest signal it can detect) and resolution (distinguishing signals from points close together in the sky). The Very Large Array has “the resolution of an antenna 36 km (22 miles) across, with the equivalent sensitivity of a dish 130 meters (422 feet) in diameter”[0], i.e. amazing resolution but sensitivity much smaller than the current largest single dish, which is China’s FAST (500 meters in diameter).

I don't agree with the author on that point,.. but you're making a leap yourself: not having gay marriage doesn't equal sexual repression. And I know plenty of straight people with families who never got "married".

I, for one, would have been happier with getting marriage out of government purview entirely, rather than adding yet another type of marriage to the books.
Even without that example, your parent comment is dead on re: the historical reasons for regulating financial markets (and the historical reasons for fire codes -- the razing of cities like Chicago).

For example, consider the SEC.

The primary goal of the SEC upon its founding shortly after the great depression was to restore investor confidence in the securities market. Its goal was to improve trust in the financial system, and it achieved that goal in part by introducing regulations that help protect individual investors.

The fire analogy is actually a good one, since those policies also have historical roots in the razing of big portions of several large US cities (eg Chicago).

In a dense city, your purported distinction between fire codes that protect inhabitants and fire codes that protect cities/blocks is a false dichotomy. The way you prevent the block from burning is by preventing individual buildings from burning. Because in a dense city blocks are comprised of... well... densely packed buildings.

More laissez faire strategies might work in much less dense areas like rural Kansas (not even suburbs -- have you seen a bad gas explosion?). And even then, only as long as you you're willing to really go it on your own -- if your attitude is "don't tell me what to do" rugged individualism then don't expect the time of day from insurance companies, banks offering mortgages, or fire departments. Buy in cash, no insurance, and put out your own fires.

Similarly, public and secondary financial markets are not your brother's laundromat or neighborhood bar. The best way to protect a large inter-connected financial system from collapses in investor confidence is to prevent obviously fraudulent bubbles from forming in the first place. Expecting individual investors to have confidence in valuations within completely unregulated marketplaces is like expecting the block be fine without thinking about how to prevent fires in any of the individual buildings.

This even extends to the "maybe something else might work in rural Kansas" example, where you replace actuaries and fire fighters with welfare/social security and medicaid.
I mostly use an Amazon Fire 10" for math. It shows that it is IPS, but it really looks good, imo.

Do you have a big contrast between your screen and your room? That's a big deal. I run a blue light filter at night.

I do prefer eink and anything oled looks fantastic, but the fire looks really good, well beyond its $150 price tag. Better than my computer monitors (which are nice).

Are you reading tiny, detailed print? Is it just a resolution thing?

Lastly, are you getting older (40ish) and need reading glasses? That happened to me when crossing 40. I could still focus sharply at reading/screen distance, but I got tired. I went through that a couple years and got reading glasses -- actually just weaker versions of my nearsighted glasses. I had the doctor dial in the focal distance for screen distance, then got another pair for 12 inches are so (for a reading a book up close).

So I have three pairs of glasses, one for distance (everything sharp from 3 feet outward). These strain my eyes from 3 feet inward. You don't need reading glasses if your arms are long enough...

I have computer classes dialed in at roughly 28 inches. I can read up close, and see nearly perfectly at distance. I'm probably 20/20 at distance, but with my regular prescription I'm around 20/10.

Then the reading glasses for up close things. These are fine for computer as well, and just slightly more blurry at distance.
Ask HN: How to switch from web/back end to systems programming?
How can I switch to some lower-level systems programming job, after working several years in backend web programming (python/java APIs, AWS infrastructure)?

I see that unlike web, a lot of systems jobs ask for project code examples, and are more likely to ask for a custom application, not just submitting a resume through a form. Are there less applicants for low-level jobs, so that the recruiters/hiring managers can spend more time looking through the applications? Are cover letters standard procedure?

Also, should I expect to take a pay-cut or lower position? I think I can do so financially, but just wondering if a company would consider that over hiring someone out of college, or with a master's degree.

Looking for practical advice, like whether to get an online master's in a certain degree or build a certain sized or type of side-project in C or Rust.

>It seems to me that toxicity of online communities has risen immensely.

I don't know if that's the case. For context, I've been posting online for ~25 years; and the Usenet flamewars that preceded me were available to read in archives even then. Truth is, people have been arguing vociferously and personally for their opinions for years.

What has "risen immensely" is people who can't seem to tolerate argument, or heated debate, or trolling, and allow it to impact their personal life. Some of this is because it's no longer under a pseudonym, so it does actually have some potential to roll over into real life; some of this is because we're involved in some efforts to actively change discourse in general, efforts that have amplified over the past few years.

Some of these efforts are good. We can disagree without being mean, we can discuss hard topics without being ghoulish.

Some of these efforts are bad. We can determine truth from fiction without the Ministry of Truth at Twitter telling us what is and isn't a thoughtcrime. We can grow a thick skin and handle someone using mean language without having to dox them and get them fired from their job. But will we?

Red Hat tunes up RHEL and OpenShift for life on computing's edge
Say a student is completing a problem set and is asked to prove P. If the student writes "P therefore Q therefore True since Q was proven in class. QED" then the student has committed a significant error in reasoning. If the student instead just writes "P. Q. True. QED" then they are writing the above in a more terse manner and have equally committed an error in their reasoning. If they first write that but then amend in some "iff"s between each step I'll give them full credit (assuming iffs are valid) but be slightly worried that they just learned that you need to put an "iff" in those spots to keep the teacher happy but don't understand why.

If a strategy is not guaranteed to give proof, then you need to verify afterwards that the putative proof is in fact a proof. Just as if you get a potential solution to an equation (via solving a more general equation, perhaps), you have not "solved" the original equation until you actually check that solution, even if your putative solution is the true one. If a student does not do the "check if steps are reversible" part, then they have not written a proof even if every step is reversible! That's what's lacking form their proof.

In a small sidenote of an absolutely magnificent lecture by Steve Blank, the Secret History of Silicon Valley [0], he notes that the reason the radio telescopes were built in the 60's was because the Soviets were using air defense radars in their interiors that were hard to get information on using other methods that were available, but a few times a month a very sensitive radio telescope would get a very good view of their emissions as they bounced off the moon.

This was the cause of the massive radio astronomy boom during the 60's that built all the western radio telescope megaprojects that have produced so much great scientific data.

This is not a terrible piece on Ramanujan (though I highly recommend the book on which the movie The Man Who Knew Infinity is based on), but every time I read about him, I feel an incredible sense of awe. Ramanujan is possibly the most classic version of an “inituistic genius” in every way. His contributions and constructions are as magical as they are mysterious, and I would love to understand even 1% of what was going on in his mind.

Even reading about von Neumann (another of the giants), I still feel like he is “human” in the sense that his abilities feel like something a truly seven-sigma smart person should be able to do. Ramanujan, on the other hand, feels like a magician of the highest caliber: things just came to him (as religious visions, etc.) that were true. It’s as if I wrote down every equation appearing in a dream and then had all of them be perfectly true. (Spoiler alert: many of the equations that come to me in dreams are thoroughly nonsensical.) It’s so... unheard of and incredible, that I still struggle to even begin to understand.

Anyways, this turned into a long rant, but my point is that I believe everyone should know a little about Ramanujan to understand truly how brilliant humans can be. (And, at least in my case, be continually humbled.)
