There's a lot of interesting problems that arise when making a 3d game vs a 2d one.
As the others have said. Also, the `-o` in particular includes the list of potentially offensive options.
Larry Siedentop's 'Inventing the Individual: The Origins of Western Liberalism' takes a different slant on this topic.
To quote from a review: he argues that 'liberal thought is the offspring of Christianity and that it is Christian moral beliefs that are the ultimate source of the social revolution that has made the West what it is.'.
TIL: apart from infinity (number, larger than any real number in absolute value) there are infinitesimal (number, less than any real number in absolute value and not a zero).

Edit: also, those infinitesimals were the subject of political and religious controversies in 17th century Europe, including a ban on infinitesimals issued by clerics in Rome in 1632.
You still don’t need geometric algebra to combine the magnetic and electric fields, if you view them as differential forms on 4-dimensional spacetime. From what I can tell, this approach is basically equivalent to what this article does. You could directly translate everything into the language of differential forms, because the only geometric products here are in fact just exterior products.
Perhaps, but it is still problematic.

The most important one was mentioned earlier. It offers an implicit advantage to Americans. In the olden days we would call this American-centric. These days we would call it prejudiced. Claiming that it is prejudiced is valid since it is effectively asking different people different questions. To the American, it is asking them to identify taxis. To a non-American, it is asking them to solve a riddle.

To highlight that point: most of your criteria relied upon cultural factors. Those taxis have no resemblance to taxis in my part of the world. Taxis in my part of the world are private vehicles with a small magnetically mounted "taxi" sign on the roof. There is no consistency in colour, little consistency in type of vehicle, and they most certainly aren't covered with advertising. I also wouldn't be surprised if there are a handful of utility van used as taxis in my city, since taxi companies offer accessible services.

The game approach also implies some degree of understanding of captcha's. The approach you outlined assumed that the unidentifiable vehicle would not be treated as a valid answer and that more than one image would have to be selected, so you can look for patterns. Knowing the rules of the game may be fine if you are playing a game. It certainly isn't appropriate in the case of operating a business or offering a public service.
For Americans, in the UK “pavement” means “sidewalk”, and not “any paved surface”.
Burnout vs. Wellbeing
Should paragraph 27 start with "The conventional-minded" instead of "The independent-minded" ? Or am I missing something?
IMHO PG's best essay since thinking for yourself is a complex topic that underlies many of his previous essays yet is explained so well here. A few things stuck out to me that could have deeper explanations:

I suspect conformity has just as strong of a relationship with childhood environment as genetics. Ironically heavy-handed parents trying to create conformity can create rebels. Loving and understanding parents can create conformists unless they emphasize independent thinking. Personally I try to avoid telling children what exactly to do and try to listen to them, essentially treating them like adults: this is explained in the book "How to Talk so Kids Will Listen".

"Resistance to being told what to think" is given in this essay as working with curiosity, but I think it can also have a negative feedback. The independent thinker can be less curious about ideas they are told by someone else. However, the same phenomenon may help explain the mentioned individualization of curiosity: the ideas the critical thinker thinks of as coming from themselves naturally generate curiosity in those areas.

I think so, yes. Polygamy creates structures where high status men have multiple wives, and low status men don't get any wives at all. Those low status men then get frustrated and destabilize societies by causing war etc. See: https://www.economist.com/the-economist-explains/2018/03/19/...
A better idea would be to use excel to arrive at your analysis, on a smaller sample of data, and if its a repetitive thing to do, create a tool with Julia.
You obviously never lived in cold climates. Everything outside my winters clothes is at outside temperature (inside is often not terribly hot either..). I am not about to carry my laptop in my coat, which are usually a somewhat tight fit.
Well, exactly. And of course the IP addresses are dynamic. So it seems a bit silly to treat a whole network as suspicious because someone on it (amongst thousands or millions) is doing something suspicious...

I get the same thing on Wikipedia sometimes because someone, who at some point in the past had my randomly assigned IP address, once made some dodgy edits. (Solution: reboot router to get new IP address!)

I suppose if we had static IPv6 addresses (each account always gets assigned the same IP) then this would be less of an issue.

Thanks for the correction! Did this change in the development of TB78 or do I seriously misremember reading about it in the initial announcements?
Actually, my impression is that microsoft software targets IT more than the employees. The more power and convenience they give IT, the more likely they will get sales, because... who picks the tools and approves the sales?

Not that great for the employees though. As tools they are very meh. I'm surprised people are able to get anything done.
Well it depends how you name things - you could spend a lifetime in just Java and always be learning things getting deeper. But if they are all under the general banner “Java” it just might not seem that way.

Can I splat "Made in America" and an American flag on my crappy Chineese imports? Can I sell "Idaho potatoes" which were grown in Ireland? Can I buy "Florida orange juice" made with Brazillian oranges?

One issue with a EU-US trade deal was that US farmers didn't want to have labelling rules to inform the consumer. Indeed they specifically wanted to remove the option that I, the consumer, had in deciding what to eat. The US government negotiating objectives call for ‘new and enforceable rules to eliminate unjustified trade restrictions or unjustified commercial requirements (including unjustified labeling) that affect new technologies.’

As swindling the consumer the is the M.O. of big business. I'd rather err on the side of the consumer. Naming protections - be it country or region of origin or trademarks in general - do not restrict consumer choice. I can buy "greek style" cheese if I want "feta style" that's not made in Greece.
Impressive how patient and kind dang can stay whilst explaining a tangent.

Compressing a liquid to 30,000psi is nothing like compressing a gas. It's why hydrodynamic testing is done with water rather than air.
For me the Pentium was where it started to shift. My 468 got booted several times a day, not just from stability but having to mess with IRQ settings and whatnot for my ISA soundcard etc.

When I installed Windows 2000 on my Pentium 150 box it was pretty much rock solid. Proper memory protection and PCI made life so much better.
This! I see this as a research question, because to even begin to work through the problem requires proper framing—noticing the history of the problem, seeing what the best of modern thinkers are thinking, discovering what has not been applied yet probably from different fields, etc. This is the hard work it takes to have an opinion about something.

Whether you use metaphors or first principles, to even capture the scope of the problem and the important pieces that influence it is the first task.
Are we going to get back to Forth?!
I have benzos as a safety net during my trips, and it occured to me that it may be a really bad idea to take them.

During a trip I lived what people describe as an "ego death", where I saw myself disappearing and dying, and it was the most frightening experience of my life.
Not only was I completely unable to take a benzo at this point, but it is very much a death and rebirth movement as described by Leary in the psychedelic experience. If I was pulled out from that movement without completing it, I don't know what would have happened. I think I would have been left seriously shaken and disturbed. It was crucial perceiving myself coming back to existence in order to feel "me" again.

Sometimes "bad trips" aren't "bad", they're learning experiences meant to be completed, even if it is tough.

I think you can have both technologies used for different things, you know the best tool for the job. Maybe you have a ton of electricity that you just have to throw it away or pay people to take it because batteries are still not as good, if you have too much electricity you could attempt to transform it in chemical energy and store that.

I am not sure why some people think there is a Hydrogen conspiracy that is attempting to sabotage electric energy, the issue is with batteries and storage.
You can use Rofi, dmenu or a similar application launcher.
Not if this decreases their captcha reputation.
Maybe it was mentioned as one of the technologies we consider, because it took us a while to make the final decision.

I thin their argument is the difference between "KFC Style" and actually using the KFC logo without other context.

There are some numbers included. If you can link to a reliable UAS SSD product, I can buy one and try it out to compare.
It's a spectrum and I'm not sure that Paul would dispute that, he might define the bottom 60 percent of the spectrum as "conventional-minded" and the top five percent as "independent-minded", especially if we think this trait increases superlinearly as we move up the quantile distribution. This dichotomization lowers the resolution but can work practically

This is not entirely accurate. Electronic devices are fogging up just like my glasses everytime I come inside. This is known to trip the water sensitive stickers used to deny warranty, even if the problem is obviously unrelated. Those are triggered regardless of if the device is powered on or off. To me this is strong evidence that electronic devices are not tested properly for our climate.
Automation is a good thing. It leads to higher productivity and people can do other things instead. If a job cannot pay a living wage and doesn’t offer a decent work environment it shouldn’t.
That sounds nice and all, except "kinship, long-term friendships and intergenerational family obligations" is still forming the fabric of western societies and up to as late as the 1960's (and even later), most people were not freely able to "gather in groups based on their levels of competence, interests and views".

Western liberalism and individual freedom is really a very recent development. Just 100 years ago, people were being forced to work on ships, in factories, on farms, in wars and 3-4 generations living in one home was normal. Just 60 years ago, many people were heavily discriminated against and had little freedom.

Imo, these "more effective social associations" just lead to an increase in mental problems and perhaps ultimately, to the unraveling of such societies. Long term *ships are good, the focus on hyper efficiency just means more and more people are being left behind, and groups simply have no idea what other groups are thinking or how to work with them.

See all the antimaskers, antivaxxers, authoritarian supporters. All dismissed as stupid/irrelevant and considered a minority by the other side. And vice versa. The reality is different, but there's such a disconnect that no one knows how to fix this.
Then we will disagree. I think your error is subjectivity in that you are narrowly focused upon audience stereotypes than behavior at large.
It's about preventing deception, you are clearly wrong about the measures that would be taken because in fact the measures are different. Just because you don't agree with the form enforcement takes doesn't mean that it has to conform with why you think it would take the form that it does.
I think it's more the reverse. It's important to the wealthy Parisians that the traditional regional produce continue to be made. If the people in the village all gave up & got factory jobs, then hundreds of specific cheeses (etc.) would cease to be made at all, and not be available at any price for their table. So they have made sure this doesn't happen.

Although it could act as a good filter, if they lash out it's a valuable red flag
A holistic approach to the question of collective thought and formation of conventional ideas raises the question of "what is the positive functional purpose of conventional thinkers in society and civilization?" That "conventional thought serves as societal and civilizational balast" seems a satisfactory (and possibly obvious) answer.

Independent thought exerts a displacing force on the collective mind. If this force exceeds the capacity of the collective to adjust ("far out"), the thought (and the thinker) is rejected.

Successful independent thought moves but does not destablize the collective mind.

Turn on Windows 10 NTFS Case Sensitivity (2018)
I used Docker to install sourcegraph yesterday on my MacBook. It took a while to locally cache about 2 GB of data from my 130 GitHub repos. I think this is a game changer, but I need a few weeks with it to make sure that the ceremony is worth the effort. I should probably be running it in a VPS rather than my laptop. I worked as a contractor at Google in 2013 and I do miss their internal dev environment.
Yep, special use case : data compression. Many compression that work on old computer are actually the decompression side of an asymmetric compression scheme. Asymmetric meaning that it requires a lot more CPU power than a mere C64 can provide to compress data whereas the same C64 can easily decompress...

I've coded myself a Bad Apple video demo for the Apple 2+. Takes minutes of compression on my I7 but can be decrunched on a 1Mhz 6502.
Good luck on your path and if anything, for all the pain and work and worry kids can be (and twins can be a handful), they're also so much... Love and fun :-) it took some time for me to believe it was directed at me, but love like this is overwhelming and life-transforming.

It doesn't have to be a great perfect day, just two minutes or twenty seconds of a hug with a person who loves and cares for you unconditionally, and you back... It's... powerful. Moving. Like a gift from you to you, and a gift to the world, trying to raise new beaming, can-do, positive-energy to build the world of tomorrow. It sounds silly but I believe the phrase.

Cheers.
Same with his comments about science. It isn't necessary for everyone else to be wrong - you're often just adding more detail to the picture. PG paints it as some kind of zero-sum when it really isn't.
I can pretty much stake my life on a substantial part of the outcome of that being “why did he only do $1BB?! He’s the world’s richest man (that we can count anyway); he could have easily doubled that and given all his employees an extra $3000!”
The same thing that happens with any action that people take in their own narrow self interest that society deems detrimental. The society, in the form of its government, regulates it.

People will also show up and harvest your crops and sell your daughters into slavery without government intervention. The fact that a lot of people want to do something and will do so without the government stopping them doesn’t prove the inevitability of that thing happening.
Depending on context, the word "socialism" is polysemic in practice in a lot of places in Europe. As long as people are aware that the S for "Socialista" in Spanish governing party PSOE is used in the sense of "social-democrat", and not in the same sense as the 2nd S in USSR standing for "Socialist", it's fine.
I know what you are talking about, I went through the same things learning how to paint and color theory.

But it is not the same with the effects of the mushrooms. My visual perception has significantly changed. The day after, the tree I see from my kitchen was not the same.
It's not isomorphic to [a] -> b, because you are not restricted to feed a Collector with a preexisting list, you can feed it with lines read incrementally from stdin for example.

Another difference is that you can combine a "Collector a b" and a "Collector a c" into a "Collector a (b,c)" that, like its components, only requires a single pass of the data. (This would be the Applicative instance for collectors.) Combining functions [a] -> b and [a] -> c doesn't necessarily "stream".

Also, I didn't use GADTs, only GADT "syntax" in which data constructors are provided as functions with signatures (MakeCollector :: ...)

Personally, I find this syntax much clearer for existential types. It amounts to having a type variable in a parameter which doesn't appear in the return type of the constructor.
I've never heard of it, personally

It's possible to be independent minded and not question management. You know internally that it's all BS (because of your independent mindedness) but don't vocalize it because you're employing a political strategy to which that would be harmful.
Christianity’s insistence on monogamy broke extended households into nuclear families. The Church uprooted horizontal, relational identity, replacing it with a vertical identity oriented toward the institution itself. The Church was stern about its marital policies. Violations were punished by withholding Communion, excommunicating, and denying inheritances to offspring who could now be deemed “illegitimate.”
Another idea for instilling independent thinking in kids is to troll them: https://imgur.com/a/GLDrD In the comics Calvin doesn't catch on, but in my experience if you keep making the tale taller and taller, kids will start to figure out what's going on and be more alert in the future.
> An essay that told people things they already knew would be boring. You have to tell them something new.

I think there's something off about this statement: A lot of people enjoy watching a new marvel movie once or twice a year while the movies themselves are more or less reiterations of the previous ones. People seem to enjoy the repetition.

The same seems to be true for essays: People enjoy finding their own thoughts repeated by anothers voice.

For example, there are a lot of essays analyzing/explaining/stating/claiming the importance of book X, videogame Y or composer Z; Art movement A, theory B or profession C. But do they provide anything new besides the comfort of nostalgia for shared experiences? However stale the enjoyment of these essays seems when viewed through the lens of the cited statement, the enjoyment itself can not be denied.

Everyone starts out as low status, so that scenario is the most important to analyze.

> But yes, having good relationship with manager definitely helps your career. It typically does not require being excited about absolutely everything.

Do you think that questioning your manager doesn't make it harder to have a good relationship with him? As I said keeping quiet about it doesn't work, most people know when you aren't agreeing with them even without telling them.

My point about excitement is that a person will lose a lot of energy and excitement when they do things they feel are wrong. Others can feel that.
The odds of him picking up are infinitesimal.
I guarantee you 99% of what is on a dev's backlog is senseless busywork that doesn't do anything important. The lack of focus on performance and efficiency has nothing to do with available resources, it is a consequence of management (political) decisions. Those decisions end up being the wrong decisions basically every time, but those are the times we live in.
Cool Tech Projects
Ask HN: Are online master degrees credible?
I completed my BSc at a local University which isn't highly ranked in the University ranking lists and while I qualify for pursuing a MSc at some of the better ranked institutions in neighbouring countries, I don't want to quit my job and go there just to study. Recently the opportunity of taking an online masters program has presented itself. There are some options like Georgia Tech or UT Austin. Does anyone here have experience with either of those? The latter seems more rigorous and more promising to me. I have also found that there are options of pursuing a MSc from some of the even better ranked universities (though I doubt that I would be admitted). How much does it help with future job prospects, particularly at big tech companies? (Acing the interview isn't the hardest part, it's getting the offer from a recruiter). What is the admission process like? Thanks for all the info.
