High school ruined this book for me. It would've been easier to read if I hadn't been forced to tear apart every single sentence for analysis. Hearing "Great Gatsby" triggers my gag reflex now, along with most other books I analyzed in high school.
January 2021 Pew Research Survey on US Politics
Well, if we see an object with our eye, we know that it is on a particular line. When the brain sees the object with two eyes, it knows that the object is where the two lines cross.

As long as they cross in front of the eyes. If they cross in the back, the math works, but the brain is not trained for it.

In spherical geometry that happens -- you see things which are just behind you, but the brain has problems interpreting that.

Simulating binocular vision is not the only approach though -- you can use a perspective where the objects appear at the correct distances, some non-Euclidean VR games do this.
This is brilliant.

CodeSandbox also has this. For example, you can import this project in CodeSandbox using link https://githubbox.com/conwnet/github1s (adding box between github and .com)

This is kind of the equivalent of the Superbowl for the Dutch, but due to global warming it hasn't been held in 24 years. The previous longest interval was 22 years, so some people are starting to doubt whether it will ever happen again.

Imagine if the real Superbowl wasn't held in 24 years due to global warming and may never happen again, perhaps then it would be more of a priority.
Possessing an ID, shouldn’t give access, regardless of whether it’s a numerical PK or a UUID. (Unless that’s a feature, like shareable links) Still need to check if the user should be able to use that ID.

If that isn’t implemented, the system isn’t secure, doesn’t matter which path you use.
Yes it did mention the Gatsby. The author was obviously interpreting the psycho-thriller angle by design.

No, it’s an excellent novel. I do think it’s a little overrated, but mediocre would be a silly take on it. It’s highly regarded for a reason. For sure there are greater American novels..

Codespaces gives you a VM in which you can debug your application, but this service does not appear to do that.
Not a powerful argument because in 90 years it's still not mainstream and only exists in papers and blog posts. On the other hand pattern matching is widely used. 'Simple' can be 'complicated' in another way, otherwise we'd prefer to write machine code.
Bias signaling.
Thank you for your nice feedback !
I don't think this should surprise anyone. The FBI has multiple methods for accessing locked phones: using physical exploits like those provided by Cellbrite, or through baseband attacks - i.e. first attacking the cellular modem and from there using an exploit to get to the main ARM cpu, or through exploits or backdoors in any app the phone had that do background refresh through the web while the phone is locked.
I think the current status of infosec means that anyone that is the target of a nation state intelligence agency or counter intelligence agency can be hacked. The question if that is actually done or not depends on how interesting they are and the lawfulness of the action and not on technical capabilities.
Yes, we're in the same company, but two different development teams ;]
> Not true. The popular comparison is the US spends about as much as the next 10 countries combined. US is ~38% of the world's defense spending.

In other words 4% of the world's population and 40% of its defense spending. Fucking jesus these feel like silly numbers to discuss -- the USA's military dumbassery puts Rome to shame. The latter collapsed because of its over-reach (well, unless you attended a conservative seminary, in which case it was clearly the "lack of morality on display in the Roman bath houses" or some such similar Very Serious Sociology/"Church History" That's Definitely Not Just USA Christian Nationalist Ur-Fascism.)

The gold standard for dynamic interpreted language package management is Yarn, and to a lesser extent npm. They are both cross platform, allows for easy publishing and building of native code dependencies, and support each package having its own conflicting dependencies, which means you don't have to do SAT solving. Furthermore, the metadata is held outside of the package, so package selection is much quicker than Python which requires downloading the entire library first and parsing the requirements.

This is new to me.

I have heard of Haskell used in companies mentioned by other comments, but I am surprised, pleasantly, that Starbucks uses Haskell.

Do you have a pointer (job posting, blog post, etc.) to Starbucks using Haskell? It could help me push for using Haskell by my employer, for example.
Interesting: I always think of it as the Letvin paper! Warren McCulloch is on it too. Quite the list of authors!
Which UI do you mean? The project is much larger than the frontend at OpenStreetMap.org - I agree that could do with some work :)
From this and a couple other of yours posts in this thread, it sounds like you are completely oblivious to possibility that YOU might be the problem. You are the leader of these people at work.

I really don't mean to be rude here. Strangely I've had a boss that had a similar beef with our 5 person team years ago.

Boss always harped that nobody takes ownership but lacked enough self-awareness to realize Boss exhibited extreme overly controlling behavior. From which snacks we had (or didn't) to which color markers we should use in a whiteboard brainstorming session. And don't forget to wipe the sink down in the bathroom after your wash your hands. Things that really didn't matter in terms of whether the business was successful or not. Nobody took ownership of the products or features without being force assigned. They were all too afraid. And too afraid to let Boss know that.

Have you tried telling any of them _directly_ that you want one of them to take ownership of a _specific_ project?
The Queen of England is also the head of the Australian Government, and has the power to fire the Prime Minister of Australia. She actually did so in 1975.
It's also full of conservative ones that died.

There is no survivorship bias here without an argument that

My argument that the progressives are usually right is not empirical, but rational.

disclaimer: I should note that with “conservative” and “progressive”, I do not mean the U.S.A. identity politics terminology, that has little to do with either conservation or progression, but the simple definition of aiming for change or for inertia.

I meant 'how would it work in a language without pattern matching?'

Because it seems to me that it won't. E.g. try this in JavaScript right now with a regular switch statement, it doesn't work. You need actual pattern matching.

Usually I'm awake in my bed for at least an hour. Sometimes two

Huh, lucky one. Some stay awake until morning.

I know that some people find it strange or even perverted, but try listening to ASMR. First find an artist and a specific 1-2h long video that calms your mind at day while you work or read, and then use it for going to sleep (use comfortable earbuds). They have special videos for sleep, but you may use any of them. You’ll skip a handful of artists and asmr types before you find that one, so be patient. Also try languages you don’t speak (french, chinese). Top, “general purpose” artists is a good start.

Also use browser youtube version and adblock that surely blocks youtube ads, or they will jumpscare you, and turn off autoplay.
Why would that result in the positions/powers being abolished, rather that succession kicking in?

Monarchy isn't a hot potato, that the current power-holder has to directly pass on lest it get "dropped on the floor" and cease to exist. Monarch is a belief of the people that a position of power exists and is "open" to be taken by a person with a claim on "right to rule." It's a thing you can convince people you deserve, at which point they put the crown on your head rather than shooting at you for wearing it. Succession gives a peaceful path for that transfer of power, but succession isn't the default; a power vacuum being grabbed at by random nobles—usually violently!—is.

If the current monarch stepped down, someone else without the same scruples would just step up. You'd have to, in effect, get every even-barely-theoretically-"righteous" noble to all agree to denounce the power, for the power to truly go away.
I think that in a way that view is like the entry level engineer's lie. It makes it seem like the engineer is there to make shoddy things, always a hair's breadth from failing.

What an engineer is actually there for is to run the numbers and predict behavior without having to go through the mess or expense of doing it any more than absolutely necessary. To plum the depths of our collective technical knowhow to drive a project that makes all the right tradeoffs.

It's not about making a bridge that can hold a semi out of matchsticks and bubblegum. It's about knowing it won't work without having to do it to find out.

A separate statement doesn't compose with complex patterns. I'd prefer always requiring the walrus operator to capture:

match response:

return f"Not found: {msg}"
case (error, "No swizzle available"):
return "We lack swizzle. :-("
case pair := (_, "Swizzle"):
log(f"Unexpected swizzle: {pair}")
return f"Swizzle?"
case ((code := _), _):
return f"Success: {code}"
Which sort of contributions would you like to copy from Google Maps to OSM?

If you personally surveyed these places you can go to OpenStreetMap.org, sign in and then you can add your changes - OSM may already have the info so a straight import wouldn't be possible.

Make sure not to copy any of Google's details to OSM that you didn't personally survey as that would violate copyright.

Please reach out to me if you'd like a hand with getting started mapping on OSM :)
Sure - but the point is she does a lot of work.
I feel you. I made the mistake of looking up a paper on vision in cats once. Once was enough.
For anyone interested in exploring this topic further, i recommend "the crown" series on netflix.

The series theme may come across as bland when compared gems like the wire & breaking bad... but the theme of duty, especially in these times, is uniquely powerful, and production values are worthy of any top series on tv.

For a nonUK viewer, it is hugely instructional. I enjoyed the show immensely
It's not really about the purpose - it's about the rights. And it's rights in the plural - not just right to revenue - but also the exclusive right to public performance.
I understand your sentiment. Something is terrible broken in many police departments in the United States. It is appalling to see so many videos on YouTube of police violence where nothing happens to the police. Remember the video of the police person pushing over some old man trying to run away. Was that officer suspended or charged? I doubt it.

That said, if you re-read your post from the perspective of someone living in Scotland, UK, it won't have the same impact. In theory, your thoughts should equally apply in the UK, but UK residents would probably disagree. I don't live in the UK, but I have some friends from various parts of the UK. There is such a different attitude about the police in the UK. Yes, they make mistakes, and there are a few bad apples. However, overall, there is respect. One of the key points is "police by consent". If you don't know about this concept in UK policing, I strongly recommend you Google a bit to read about it. Basically: The attitude of police is that they need to tread lightly in a community because they "police by consent". I know HN has many UK readers, so I would appreciate some comments about this!

A deeper question to ask might be: Why have some US police forces descended so much (so little public trust) versus other police forces in the UK? In particular, from my non-resident view, it seems Scotland police have a very strong, if imperfect, relationship with their communities. What could US police forces learn from their UK counterparts? A few years ago, a New York Times journalist followed some US police who traveled to Scotland. They observed how the local police were trained and how they behaved during patrols and arrests. In short: Very differently!

On a positive note: It is also worth looking at the Los Angeles police department. In the 1990s, it was one of the worst in the United States for community trust and police violence. After the Rodney King incident and riots that followed, there was a huge effort to "clean-up" the police force. The police leaders actively sought to rebuild ties with community and religious leaders. I have read multiple news and magazine articles about this relationship. When something bad happens in LA that might trigger inter-ethnic/religious tension, the LA police immediately reach-out to community leaders. They have public and private meetings to discuss the issue. My point: The community has a voice and feels heard. Yes, it is not perfect, but it demonstrates that real change is possible.

That saddens me. It's not actually that complicated, but I think Perl's usage numbers have degraded enough that unless you're frequenting one of the online spots where those knowledgeable about the language gather, you're unlikely to encounter them in the wild anymore, and thus aren't getting a useful explanation.

The simple answer that probably would have solved almost all your problems is that you can use the reference syntax for defining things and it will look like and function the same as JavaScript 95% or more of the time, and the only time you'll need to do anything is when passing it to something that expects an actual array or hash. I mean, you can get away with taking JSON and changing colons into fat arrows and booleans into 0 and 1 and it will just work as a Perl data structure as is like 99.99% of the time. Data structure manipulation works similarly as well for the most part.
Exactly. At this point it feels like Python is LARPing at being an ML. Without even block scoping, this is just asking for trouble.

An opinion that differs from yours is not, thereby, silly. I also find it mediocre. A bit of a bore overall, the prose unremarkable.
It does sound like sour grapes and the timing of the report a day before Starlink made general signups available (albeit with a limited number per geographic area) is interesting.

I have a ISP in both the UK and Colorado, for similar service the UK ISP is a tenth of the Comcast Business price. And in the UK I can choose from over 40 ISPs with FTTC.

> I look for strong documentation, integration with tools for observability and deployment, and compatibility with a well understood runtime that makes operations easier.

Great, let's see those metrics tested and compared in an easy to read table, then we'll have a matrix of qualities on which to base a choice of stack.
What would constitute an "inappropriate takedown"? Just one month ago the popular opinion seemed to be that there is no such thing. Even if the content is benign, it's private companies making private decisions - completely within their right. What's changed, in so little time?

And it's actually a crime in many (most?) jurisdictions to expect workers to work overtime with no compensation. Extra reason to put it in writing.

If you are going to do it legally, yes. I presume whoever escorts them out of the palace will want some legal authority to do so.

The grounds for the power they currently wield is that it’s the law.

Your two opinions contradict each other. On the one hand, you say you are for illegal immigration but on the other you are against the H1-B program. Those anti union, anti local workers as you call them are coming in via illegal immigration if you get your way.

There are many powers besides tech: Wall Street, government, education, medical, military industrial complex, intelligence services, law, media, energy, etc... As tech gets bigger, it appears to be splitting into coalitions based on self interest as well.
I fully agree about the skills gap, but I think the reason behind it is more that server administration has come to feel unapproachable, with an air of "better leave that to the experts", along the same lines as "don't roll your own crypto" (but less extreme) or how some people wouldn't dare run electrical wires in their homes.

Why run your own server, and keep it patched, and keep it secure, and configure the firewall, and all that stuff which spells doom if you get it wrong... when you can use some cheap or free service that does all the hard stuff for you?

I'm curious how much of this shift is purely because these tools really are better, or how much is due to an intentional marketing effort to make the DIY approach seem bad/unsafe/difficult/fraught with peril. I guess at some point it's a self-reinforcing flywheel. People think DIY is hard, so they actively avoid it, and tell their friends "running servers is hard, don't do that."
There is a common phrase bandied about: “Democracy is the worst form of government, besides all the others.”

It’s oddly used as a pro-Merica. To which I normally say the US isn’t a democracy, but a Constitutional Republic. I don’t know why I do that, it only causes people to dig in deeper to their position. Their argument generally boils down to the US has elections and elections = democracy.

I can even see hints of that in this thread applied to the UK, but I’m assuming those are Americans.

It makes me curious as a British Scholar would you call the government a Constitutional Monarch? Do you find it commonly referred to as a democratic monarchy or just a democracy consistent with what I tend to see in the US?
Apparently it's reassigning the existing not_found variable from the outer scope, not binding a new not_found variable in an inner scope.

nice trick.. though if you are relying on the 'generator' aspect of comprehensions this may be problematic (will create in-memory copies)
I believe by using Dr. Kogan's app and explicitly giving Dr. Kogan permission to use your data (by accepting the FB interstitial UI that confirms with you as a user whether you would like to give a third-party access to your FB data via the FB API), you are entering in some kind of contract with him, no?

FB doesn't just hand users' data over without user confirmation... Users see UI permission dialogs and have to explicitly agree to it first (similar to an iPhone app asking for permission to use your microphone or location -- how is Apple responsible if said app gets hacked and leaks your microphone recordings?).
