I think your confusion stems from the imperfect wording in the original phrase. What @karpierz meant (and his/her subsequent sentence supports it) is a) that society in this context implies government and b) that money is a legal tender that, upon tendering (i.e., offering as payment), discharges any debts (e.g., loans, purchases, taxes).

By the way, you're wrong in that money a) is only a store of value (it also functions as a medium of exchange and a unit of account) and b) is separate from society (in the modern world, in most countries, it is only government who has legal right to issue [primary] money).
There's no animation in that link for me, but it sounds like you're describing a cinemagraph.
I have another hypothesis: People who are experts in the core competence of their companies make better CEOs.

C backwards compatibility doesn't help, but it definilty does have the opt-in tooling to make it way safer than using C, although it isn't Ada safe IDE improvements for live static analysis do help.
Doesn't matter. Any change will have measurements on all those axes, and others, some maybe negative. Just like in living systems. But life gets better adapted, by small increments along an infinitely contorted path, and got to us.
Maybe I'm missing something, isn't this already possible? I have a Linux machine running Windows with GPU passthrough just fine
The ACLU supported gay and lesbian rights when the government was trying to restrict the rights of gays and lesbians.

It didn't talk about censoring books that were critical of gays and lesbians. Which would trample the rights not of the gays and lesbians but of the homophobic writer.
Yea, two things immediately came to mind

(1) Ballmer, whether you like him or not, probably planted at least some of the seeds of the “new Microsoft”

And more importantly:

(2) The tech market as a whole - CEO-engineers or not - has been extremely bullish during that period
They might as well, since they already got rid of comments on “kids videos,” and the distinction between kid and adult videos is more than a little arbitrary.
as to effects, it might "scramble", as in eggs, or... filesystems. :)
Fair point,
Exactly, particularly during an emergency where many procedures are being redefined in the interest of time and new processes learned.

The story behind the famous TARDIS sound and Daleks voices is also worth mentioning.

The terminal theme in that screenshot is the builtin wezterm defaults which are a minor evolution of the "Wez" theme that I uploaded to a random wiki years and years ago, and which found its way into the https://github.com/mbadolato/iTerm2-Color-Schemes collection and is now also available as a selectable theme in wezterm: https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/colorschemes/w/index.html#wez (that's NOT the same as wezterm's defaults, but it is very similar!)

The colorscheme used in vim in that screenshot is my personal vim colorscheme which is leaning on the terminal color scheme, with the doc comment color explicitly selecting that orange color, for its added visual terror factor. (Really, I just like my Rust doc comments to be rust colored).
>But the competition is fiat; backed by fighter jets and nukes; literally. How is it that someone can't steal your money? The bank makes sure. How is it the bank can be sure? The cops protect them. How is it the cops aren't overwhelmed? The military protects them. Law and order stands on the backs of a lot of stuff and CO2. Bitcoin is an example of one little piece of this not needing all that stuff. Instead it's protected by this mining fleet. And if you want to contest ownership there's no one to invade, no one to attack; the best you can do is make a fleet and try to mine.

Who do you think is keeping the infrastructure (electricity, internet, companies that produce equipment,..) on which bitcoin runs safe?
They acquired Intel's modem division, so that may change in the future as well.
I don’t know why you’re being downvoted. To get really good at programming takes a lot of alone time
I think the OP means "simple waveforms" in terms of the ubiquity of square wave oscillators, not simple in the sense of being a pure sine wave.
Agreed, victorians look great from the outside.

On the inside: they're generally drafty, loud, and have awful floorplans. While the loss of some of the original details like the wood flooring and fireplace (especially that flooring!) pains me, I completely understand the desire to gut and redo. I wouldn't want to live in an unrenovated victorian.

But it is! Before special relativity, conservation of mass was thought to be a law of physics; SR refined this law to conservation of mass-energy.
While I don't necessarily disagree with the sentiment, a good chunk of the contract must be for R&D. The US Army isn't buying a ready made, commercial off-the-shelf product.

Great job. Keep it up. out of curiosity how are you charging ? like a subscription ?
If not env var then what is a good alternative? Config files could be considered "mutable global state".

I have no issue with env vars for read only configuration. Programs that set env vars... thats where it gets very ugly.
You do not need ligatures for umlauts, but that does not stop the odd software (or maybe user?) here and there refusing to do it the “sensible way”.
Interviewing for my last job, I asked if I could bring in a pinball machine, and they said they just moved from a shared office where they had to steal the ping-pong balls from the other occupants so they could work.

I didn't bring in the machine, but it was a nice work environment.
But I keep putting more and more env vars into my programs. Enough command line switches already, but for debugging I always fall back to undocumented getenv's, rather than adding and removing silly -Dhexmasks.
Where does the rest go?
I wonder how it happened that the inner loop here (https://github.com/oliverphilcox/Keplers-Goat-Herd/blob/3a0b...) with N_it=5 is 2 times slower than the inner loop here (https://github.com/oliverphilcox/Keplers-Goat-Herd/blob/3a0b...) with N_it=18. It doesn't look two times faster at all, and I've spent a lot of time optimizing numerical code. Is it possible that the compiler managed to vectorize the faster loop but not the slower one, or something like that? Or is it that specifically the divisions are too many and too expensive? Or the N_it-1 extra evaluations of sincos?
So much felt the same about your last point. Unfortunately it looks like every country / bloc is trying to gain advantage by getting to a post covid economic prosperity state first. It is reasonable in real world terms though though because very few countries have the facilities to manufacture vaccines at scale even with open recipes.
Ask HN: Best Tech Stack for portfolio website
I am a Frontend developer. What tech stack should I use for my portfolio website. The portfolio website would be very simple with a couple of pages like about, work, contact, a page for curating the resources I use daily, and probably a blog page for posts.

For the frontend, I am not sure either to go with React or next. Would firebase be a good option to update the contents of my website from the backend or is there a better option? I am thinking of firebase because I will add blog post there.
That's a weird decision for Google. Bad management.

What Is Staff Augmentation in IT, or Ways of Closing the Recruitment Gap
Yea I definitely remember that being discussed previously. Basically the amount of current in the wires was large enough to cause deflections that that particular group did not have a good way to account for so my recollection was they mentioned it as a likely source of the displacement. I was sort of hoping somebody would hook this thing up on top of an air table and power it with a huge battery so it’s a fully closed / stand alone system and see if the setup starts drifting one direction when it turns on.
Sorry, I disagree.

1. All you need to do a remote whiteboard is a microphone and a mouse. This is a great opportunity to create new softwares that actually help collaboration and improve the design process rather than being stuck forever with a pen and a paper.

2. What you call "personal relationship" is, at the end of the day, employee relationship and politic to be promoted. You are in a long term position of power on your employee, which allows you to impose your point of view. Stop pretending to be benevolent. Most new hires do what you tell them to do, it doesn't change with work from home.

3. I think that's just because you are not a good manager (sorry), or your own managers are bad. If you actually cared, you would respect people time and have clear rules that show it. You can send a "have a good afternoon" at 6PM, no one would find that awkward
I think it's fair to say your take on politics is radically different to mine, and I don't think I'm very 'woke' as you put it. I certainly think Carano had to go, I don't need children idolizing someone who shares that kind of meme.

But -- is it a problem that you believe your viewpoint is widely supported, and I believe you are in the fringe minority, and vice versa? Should we be forced from our online/TV bubbles of choice? Obviously up/down votes are meaningless. Do we need regular referenda? Would online electronic voting work, or would everybody claim it was rigged?
when you asked this question I figured I'd send an email to Spider Robinson and ask - his response:

----------------

your memory works better than mine. It took me awhile to dig out the memory of what was the second Callahan's Place story I ever sold. Since it had been over a year since my first sale, and I'd collected 14 rejection slips since, it's a happy memory, which always helps.

Yes, the story you remember was "The Time Traveler," if I'm remembering right. But the controversy part is just a bit of an exaggeration. I wish I could check my memory against Ben Bova's excellent one, but my recollection is, what actually happened was he got one or two letters complaining that that story was not science fiction. Ben wrote back to both that first of all, he felt it was, that science fiction did not necessarily have to contain machinery of any kind—just change—and concluded by saying, come on, you've got a complaint about one story out of the hundreds you've read here, and you threaten to cancel your subscription? You have that right, and I'm sorry you feel that way; have a nice day.

Then he told me privately that he'd checked, and nobody had canceled their subscription. But it made a great story, so we both retold it over the years.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. As Dizzy Gillespie said about Charlie Parker, no Ben, no me. In his last years, he used to tell me he was starting to feel like one of the last legionnaires still defending Fort Zindeneuf, and now it's my turn.

Thanks for reminding me what an uncannily lucky sumbitch I am and have been.

I have found I can teach kids to ride a bike in (literally) seconds, just by not lying to them about how it works.

"Use the handlebars to stay up. Lean to turn." Just like that, and they're off. (I am absolutely not exaggerating.)

(And, no, gyroscope effect has nothing to do with it.)

They get the idea to twitch the handlebars the opposite way, to lean, all by themselves. Most never notice they are doing it.
Maybe I live under a rock, but I feel like command line utilities taking environment variable arguments just isn’t that common of a practice? The only examples I can think of are when an argument is more of a “global variable” that many different commands may find useful such as JAVA_HOME, GITHUB_TOKEN, etc. For web applications and docker containers, environment variables fit easily into the deployment process and for all intents and purposes, are pretty much static.
Good for you.

Now consider that for a majority of Europeans 25k is a good salary. Now consider 6 billion world citizens can only dream of 25k.
Well, it's a nice move by Google.

It makes sure that people who are aligned with new ways of working have less reasons to work there. It also sends a strong signal the PHBs have taken over.

Thanks for letting me know, so I know not to apply.
In numerical code the distinction between exact closed-form solutions and approximate solutions (through Newton's method and the like) is just not that meaningful. What determines speed is how much arithmetic you have to do, and it's quite possible to have a closed-form solution that is too cumbersome to evaluate compared to an approximate method. After all, approximate methods only have to converge to tolerance, nobody cares about exactness itself.

I've just tried it on 2014 MacBook Pro with Intel Iris GPU. It seems it bit more sluggish than the built in Terminal app.

No hard numbers, yet simply resizing a window is visibly slow or "accidentally" catting 100k line txt file in the terminal takes several seconds. Both is instant in iTerm and Terminal on my machine.
For most people home office makes sense for practical reasons - long commute, spending more time with the family, living in a nicer / cheaper location but having a well paying job. On the other hand, extreme introverts that don't tolerate working in an office are a tiny minority and should dictate the working conditions even less than the extroverts.

Personally I tend toward introvert (it's not black and white) and have experience with working from home before the pandemic. For someone who's starting working from home it's easy to fall into a pattern of self-isolation which will have a negative psychological effect on them. I'm convinced that most people need at least a couple of days per week of social office time for their own sanity.

Alternately, engineer the conditions of the market to achieve the desired result... rather than engineering the conditions of the market to preserve what's already been built at the cost of future (now current) generations who have no where to call home and establish value or community.
Ok, so I'm a bit surprised by these responses. Google is obviously a company that marketed itself majorly by their extensive offices with perks like free food, coffee, snacks, gyms, etc. Their office design, campus and related perks were always on the forefront of their pitch.

I don't quite understand why you'd expect them to be on the forefront of WFH.
Solution: A track that circumnavigates the planet and a train that never stops.

Biden proposes $250B investment in research
I disagree with this post so strongly - having spent most of my career installing, configuring, and managing other people’s software.

> The answer is that you, the end user, can not now. Every program is free to do its own thing and most do. If you have ever spent ages wondering why the exact same commands work when run from one terminal but not the other, this is probably why.

If the same program is behaving differently between two systems - it can -only- be the environment that’s different.

> Instead of coming up with a syntax that is as good as possible for the given problem, instead the goal is to produce syntax that is easy to use

Oh to be a developer. The “best possible syntax” is a universe of possibilities - environment variables are, thankfully, limited to strings. If all programs had to be configured with a Turing complete config language - that would just be a programming language! Limitations can set you free.

Sorry for the harsh tone. Please, and I believe I speak for most sysadmins, please continue to use environment variables.

Why should it be the case that the best engineers, best machine operators, best accountants, best sales people should have to enter management to further their careers? Isn't it a shame that we force people into management so they can earn more money. Being a CEO means you don't get to code any more, why do that to the best coders?

Meh. Most configuration libraries I've used make all of these issues into non-issues. It's very useful to be able to set configuration with environment variables, even if you're loading from a file.

There were days on the internet when a car analogy was appreciated -- let me try here.

Suppose there was a rally driver who would claim that rally cars could go much faster if they were always driven in reverse. He did some rudimentary experiments and might have found a significant improvement. The general public and other racing drivers, who in my analogy can all be wonderful people but happen to know little about the mechanics of cars, are naturally enthusiastic: a potential breakthrough in driving! But clearly we need more experiments. So other rally drivers get to work: they set up an elaborate system with ropes and pulleys so they can reverse the driver's position in the car and run a car as fast as they can, but in reverse, on a test track. What do they find? Sadly, their answer is somewhat inconclusive, probably negative, but perhaps the test track had many bends. So they would like to repeat the experiment on a track with a few more straight segments: they write grant proposals, build a track, and plan other test runs... and all the time their progress is eagerly followed by the general public.

Now suppose you are a car mechanic in all this. What are you to do? This cannot work! It flies completely in the face of the way cars are set up, not to speak of the disadvantages in air flow. So you can loudly dismiss the claim as preposterous early on, but then you will be called a pessimist and the public point out that at least the rally drivers are trying something new - what the bleep have you been doing all this time? So you just wait the whole thing out, see it come... and go.

I guess I should at least be happy that I did not buy any shares in EnDrive Inc?
> Cuban Ministry of Transport mandates that buses manufactured in China must be outfitted with American-made engines, a move many see as government mismanagement. Due to the 55-year US trade embargo of Cuba, which the socialist government estimates has cost their economy $116.8 billion, third-party businesses must purchase the motors in America, and then ship them to a third country to import them to Cuba. This results in many buses being sidelined, with repair parts coming late or not at all.

WTF? How could this even happen?

I could agree with "don't only use environment variables for configuration", but at the same time, by all means do use environment variables to allow for easy overriding of configuration.

I cannot but think of the large number of times that being able to quickly override some parameter with an env var has helped me achieve something which was not exactly intended by the original author.

Also, env vars are the most common way to override configuration of software that has been dockerized (prepared to run in a Docker container). Plus, containers remember their initial environment, so there is no issue of running afterwards without the env var.
