You've evolved. programming is nice but not necessarily the most "humanly fulfilling" of all thing. It can be very lonely and "dry" so at some point you may find you took all you have to take from this field and move to jobs that bring different human experience.

Try new things: entrepreneur, conference, product manager, even sales. i'm not saying it's necessarily an easy switch but the reality is that you may not have choice. your body is telling you something.

Or maybe you should just do a round trip around the world and meet exciting uncommon people...
If I see a 6 year old on a roadway, on bicycle or on foot, I would stop, or at least slow to a crawl. I will then wait until they get back to sidewalk before driving normally.

This is not the case with bicycles - they drive with the traffic, as a part of traffic. So I don't think this rule is very applicable to real world.

Yes, when working in any company, including foreign companies, domestically, CCP membership status is always included on the resume. It's generally seen by employers as a positive point.

I have never received a mainland Chinese resume overseas, so would not know about the overseas question.

Three Business Lessons Every Leader Should Take Away from 2020
I think it’s odd that we have such strict laws about gambling, but such lax ones where there’s no possibility of a cash payout and you’re just burning your money. This kind of freemium model with loot boxes and special real money equivalent in game currency is clearly designed to be as addictive as possible, and should not be weaponised against children (and maybe not even against adults).
But if they don't get that false positive, it'd not be weird to assume they also wouldn't get the true positive (or at least not as early as the people living on the base).

I was going off the Webster definitions of these words, which do not make this distinction in their antonyms. They both seem to be the opposite of simple. The opposite of easy would be "hard" or "difficult".

I understand there is no definitive source for English, but what is your source on that? Is it Rich Hickey? Because I don't think he has the authority to change the definitions of common English words.

> I don't think the problem is actually swap files themselves, though, but the user experience with them.

Agreed, the UX is 99% the reason of me hating swap files. More often than not I choose recover, only to discover the diff is literally null. Come on, you could not check for that before interrupting? And then in any case you have double the annoyance with that recovered buffer as the old swap remains and you have to delete it or you get the warning again on the next open.

It’s kind of like changing branches with git and then back again, vim notices the time stamp of an opened file changed vs the last buffer save, lets you change the file but complains on :w that the file “changed” outside, yet is unable to a) show you a diff of current buffer vs current file, nor b) realised that the filesystem state vs buffer state at last save (which vim fully knows about) produces a null diff, so the buffer changes are safe to write.
Depends on the ethnic minority - the USSR had very fine-grained distinctions between "reliable" and "unreliable" ethnic groups. For example, Armenians (because of their hostility to NATO-member Turkey) were very much allowed into combat units, which gave them their enormous advantage against Azerbaijan in the early-90s wars. Ukrainians and Belarusians were also considered part of the "core" USSR ethnic groups.

Whereas the Baltic states were only conquered in 1940, and were considered extremely unreliable.

My company just went through the exercise of deciding to be paid in crypto or not. Asked my accountant and they said it makes no difference tax wise.

In fact, if anything, it complicates taxes because it is just one more thing to track. I opted not to do this, despite being heavily pro-crypto. In fact, my company is in the crypto space.

>> “This is a nation state,”

Both could be true? ;-)
Regarding 'and', it's just that the implied order of precedence is crucial to the meaning. Compare:

(I ate all the chocolate candies) and (I ate all the waffles)

I ate everything that was (chocolate candy and waffles).

In the first example, the intersection is in the set of things that happened. In the second, it is in the set of things.

It's merely a convention that "I ate all the chocolates and waffles" means the first of these while "I ate all the chocolate waffles" means the second.

This is similar to how even if means "power" unambiguously, 2 3 5 doesn't mean one thing until you put parentheses in (explicitly or by convention).
It's important to remember the difference between the old Google with ~1k people and today's Google with 100k+ people. Things were a lot more flexible back when gmail was a new thing.
I started at G in 2005 when there were 6k engineers, but it was doubling every 9-12 months. You could watch the ossification in real time.
My experience was definitely one of 120% time. Some people made 20% projects actually work, but that became more rare over time.
Don’t they have something like 100 million members?

Given a population of 1.4 billion people, then this membership list is something like 7% of the population.

Some countries don’t even have 100 million people.

And it doesn’t even seem like you need to be anybody special to even join. Although I’m sure that the elite at the top, socializes often with CCP members for societal and business needs.

I’m certain that people in the west are making this out to be more of a bigger issue than it really is.
Usually it isn't about execution of programs, but analysis of their properties.

To do so you can use eg model checking, and you require a semantic definition for doing so.

IIRC, there was a lawsuit that ruled that the president was not allowed to block other twitter users. As far as I know, it would still be totally withing twitter's right to block Trump, if it wanted. But I think they don't because what he says on Twitter reveals important information about his character.

It was amazing how some people lapped up everything he wrote about Google (case in point: apparently a lot of people don't believe 20% time exists at all any more), I guess because he was so prolific (it was hard for actual Googlers to keep up rebut everything), and he was playing into some confirmation bias.
This, so much.

This is what basically kills the whole idea. It's what made people want to switch from folders to search, which this site claims doesn't work.
Hi! NumWorks founder here. Thank you so much for the mention! We’re trying our best to make a great calculator, so it’s always a pleasure to get this kind of feedback!

As a note to the HN crowd: we’re facing an intersecting UX challenge. The vast majority of our users aren’t very technical - they’re high schoolers really. But we also want to cater to a more advanced audience such as engineers.

Initially we thought it would be really hard to please everyone. But it turns out it’s actually possible to create a simple interface that still lets you do more advanced functions. And even better, designing for the “newcomers first” turned out to be a great guidance when designing our software. Judging from the feedback we get, assuming the user won’t ever read any manual or doc is actually quite a good starting point!
“the opportunity costs of them not being able to contribute to the economy is probably many times bigger.”

Can you cite a source that shows this is true? Skip the weasel word “probably” and set the opportunity cost to be the contribution of someone with their education and (lack of) social skills and many times as something > 3 times.

There is no such thing as a “culture card”. If there is any “science” to the social science of sociology, there is a measure of ethnic and cultural cohesion to societies that may or may not explain behaviors. That’s like saying to an engineer, “Well, if you want to play the material hardness card...”
Thanks so much, appreciate it

No this is really not about that, cyclists are always allowed to take up the full lane in cities, but it’s rarely legal to split a lane, and even then it’s a terrible idea.

Preliminary results from a study in the United Kingdom, conducted by the University of Nottingham for the Department for Transport, show that filtering is responsible for around 5% of motorcycle Killed or Seriously Injured (KSI) accidents. (Bicycle statistics are harder to locate.)

I have tried a custom linking script, Ansible, and stow. The best I have found is to just use a bare git repo based off of: https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/dotfiles

The idea is to make an alias that runs git so that it treats your home directory as a git repository and you can directly commit them.

I would recommend bypassing that article's `config config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no` setting and setting a `~/.gitignore`. This way, git will never tinker with your home directory if you accidentally run the wrong command.

So the complete list of setup commands is:

# Only needs to be done the first time
cat >~/.gitignore<<'EOF'
*
!/.bashrc
!/.zshrc
EOF

# On subsequent runs
git clone --bare ssh://git/cfg.git "${HOME}/.cfg"
function config() {
git --git-dir="${HOME}/.cfg/" --work-tree="${HOME}" "${@}"
}
config checkout -- ~/.gitignore
config reset ~
config checkout -- ~
config submodule update --init --recursive --remote

One caveat is adding files in subdirectories (`~/. config/...`), but just requires changes in your gitignore
The idea seems to be to use organization-wide categories.

It was never part of Poland, unless you're going waaaay back to the Teutonic knights. Even then, it was controlled by an ethnically-German ruling dynasty with its power base outside of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, similar to Normandy in late medieval France.

In the aftermath of WWII, Germans in East Prussia were expelled, and the territory was split 50/50 between the USSR and Poland. No state other than Germany has a pre-WW2 claim, and they formally renounced that claim in the final peace treaty around 1990.

Yeah I’ve found the TI-89 was a kind of sweet spot. Mathematica is definitely cumbersome to quickly solve a PDE, a small linear equation system, or do some factorisation with trigonometric functions, never mind Maxima. OTOH, linear algebra was kind of a pain on the good old TI-89 once you got into div and curl. Also, Fourier series could have been easier.

I wouldn’t use a hand held to do some Python now, but younger me used to program a window manager in Casio BASIC, so it’s not inconceivable that some kids in high school might actually use it...
After the collapse of the USSR, none of the states around Russia were in any condition to confront the Russian Federation itself. All of the little post-Soviet wars were among the smaller Republics.
> If you look at the actual outcome, it was that China devalued their currency or otherwise lowered prices to eat the tariffs, because their nightmare is manufacturing getting a foothold anywhere else, whether it's India or the US. Which is a win for the US because we have China paying us billions of dollars in tariffs without paying significantly higher prices for goods.

Can you tell my suppliers this so they stop passing on 50% of the cost of the tariffs onto me please? They don’t seem to have gotten your memo that the Chinese are paying the tariffs instead of the consumers.

I literally have “import tariffs” as a line item on all my invoices that relate to goods manufactured in China. Every single supplier appears to be colluding to increase their profits, if what you’re saying is true.

The alternative is that tariffs are actually driving up costs unnecessarily.

> This is my gotcha: how do you decide where a document go? The categories might be clearly split, but documents typically won't fall in exactly one category.

Symlinks again!

Basically you put everything in an incoming folder, maybe organized by year or month/year or even type. Then you symlink to all of the categories it would be interesting to you.

Your temporary tags would just all be a folder of symlinks, so you can kill the tag and retain your document.
The fact that you think employees belong in the same category as entrepreneurs and the self made proves the point he is making.

How to Change Your Email Name and Email Address [Step-by-Step Guide]
I can see that as an implementation detail, but it need not be one. There isn't a reason that a runtime couldn't use a flag value for absent args and let the callee code set the value up on their side.

I mean, the java runtime has all sorts of crazy stuff going on w/ a security manager, to almost zero benefit. Seems easy enough to make something like this work.
It was done for 2 reasons and planned out by Paul Volcker, and there is a speech to go with it if someone can find it.

1) USD reserves allow us to import more value than we export so it offers a better standard of life for the consumer than otherwise.

2) It allows us to have a bigger consumer market than we would otherwise have and incentive for countries to partner with us to sell their stuff to. If you've lived outside the US you know every business wants to sell their stuff here either as #1 or just after their home market.

Under those purposes it seems to have worked very well. Of course theres the risks of crashes along with it too.
> Screen time itself shouldn't cause eyestrain. Reading is the most likely culprit.

I think this is true, because for me when I'm having a bad eye day I can play games for hours but struggle to read through a paragraph.

I had laser eye surgery and almost regret it, my eyes get dry easily now (I seem to get recurring blepharitis which I lessen with a heat pack) and one eye in particular almost always feels like it has grit in it. But I can play games or watch videos and it's engaging enough that I forget all that, while reading is a completely different story.

Dark mode and larger fonts definitely help, as does a downward eye angle. My work laptop screen does not help, I don't know what it is but I just feel worse at the end of a day that I use it. I think the text is probably too small but I don't realise because in proportion to the smaller screen size it looks large.

> and a budget that is larger than the next 10 largest spending countries put together.

Thanks to China that's not even remotely close to being true. The big gap between the US and China on military spending is in personnel costs, which can properly be adjusted accordingly (just because the US pays a soldier $60k per year doesn't mean that soldier is four times the soldier China pays $15k). China in all practical terms has now caught up to the US in military spending and will surpass the US easily this decade. When you adjust everything for purchasing power China may already be ahead overall (that matters because China can spend $10b and get the same result as when the US spends $20b or $30b, including when it comes to personnel, due to eg the variance in costs between the two nations).

Bloomberg article, two years ago:

"China Outspends the U.S. on Defense? Here’s the Math. Factoring in purchasing power and personnel costs leads to a surprising conclusion."

https://archive.is/32N1F

Now, that's a two year old article. In that time, the US economy has been smacked by Covid and China has decided it wants to even more aggressively expand its military.

China is going to become the dominant, global, military superpower within 20 years, with all that that very obviously entails for the world. It's a reasonable guess that in another ten years they'll be spending 1/3 more than the US on military in real terms.
So the person posting Russian State propaganda isn't the problem, I am for pointing out the uselessness of citing their work.
