Imagine, paying 52 million bucks for a vertical blue line on a canvas. When the auctioneer, who suspiciously never really care to do background checks beyond the simple stuff, finds that the buyer is an offshore trust fund - they are more than happy to sell the painting and extract ridiculous fees because the trustee won't care. The trust is a laundering device for whole countries created by the English to aid capital flight. 52 million is but a drop in the ocean.

So no. Its not modern art. It's money laundering.
There was no point in bringing up powershell at the time, its legacy is an entirely different beast from vtXYZ and would invite the next "why isn't hyper.is covered" and "why isn't upterm covered and ..."

The fabric under attack was the bastard display server protocol itself and not the parts that tie in with the strong points of Powershell, i.e. shell UI design or data exchange format specifics.

I know SEI well.

I have worked on projects where linters enforce that style, and I hate it.

You can read their justification: a programmer or code reviewer might mistakenly believe that the two variables src and c are declared as char *.

"A programmer might not know the syntax" is as stupid a justification for enforcing these rules as "a reader might not be able to read long sentences correctly" is for enforcing a stupid rule over text written in a natural language. I'm sorry that you failed to see the analogy.

They also just drop a statement like "declaring no more than one variable per declaration can make code easier to read and eliminate confusion." I can drop my opinion too: "declaring more than one variable per declaration can make code easier to read and eliminate confusion." It can also make the code shorter and easier to scan & edit.

And I think analogies involving natural language are more relevant than you think.

I would rather read "U, V, and W are phases" than "U is a phase. V is a phase. W is a phase." It's the same goddamn thing, we're declaring things (and optionally initializing them).
Because of a tiny wealth tax that is already lower than in many other countries?

You think a relatively well off individual from a less wealthy country facing many systemic problems for business will pass up the opportunity to migrate to the US because they may need to pay a couple percent if they strike gold?
I think they will work to destroy the US from within as much as possible until it is entirely possible for them to destabilize the US to the point that they spark a civil war. This last election was just a preview in my opinion.

Yeh, it does feel like its evolved in.

I feel towards the unx shell the same way I feel towards Vim: there's quite a bit of cruft, some poor decisions, quite a bit I'd do differently if I decided to write my own implementation from scratch. But on the other hand it mostly works well and I've learned over the years how to work around the awkward parts.

It's easy to make a laundry list of the ways the traditional unix shell falls short. The problem is creating an alternative that's superior enough to warrant learning something new and consensual enough that it can get mainstream appeal.

The article acknowledges that:

>There is arguably a rift here between those that prefer the ‘shove it in a browser’ or flashy UIs that animate and morph as you interact, and those that prefer staring into a text editor. It seems to me that the former category gets all the fancy new toys, while the latter mutters on about insurmountable levels of legacy. What I personally want is many more “one- purpose” TUIs and for them to be much easier to develop. They need to be simpler, more consistent, obvious to use, and more configurable. That’s nice and dreamy, but how are “we” supposed to get there?

But then I argue that they jumps the shark a bit. As far as I can tell the Arcan project seems more preoccupied with reaching feature-parity with Xorg than actually improving the CLI. And I'm sure for some people that's great, but for me personally that makes it a funny novelty thing that I don't see myself using. It reminds me when I first saw compiz ~15 years ago, where you had virtual desktops on a rotating 3D cube with all sorts of weird visual effects[1]. It looked cool, but I never actually used it because it wasn't practical and I had no use for it.

On the other hand I'd love for a better CLI implementation, better pipes, easier debugging, a more expressive scripting language, better task control, better feedback.

But then we went full circle to the core of the issue: everybody agrees that the unx CLI sort of sucks, but we don't really agree on what exactly needs fixing.

Can someone explain to me why "Wealth Inequality" is a problem?

If my neighbor has more then me, how is that an issue?

Now, I do understand that:

* Doing something illegal is wrong, but if someone aquired wealth legally, I don't see the inequality a problem.

* Poverty is a problem but poverty is a problem whether 100% of the population is poor, or is a minority of the population is poor, or the majority of the population is poor; because the problem is poverty, not the inequality

* I can also see how a different taxation philosophy would alleviate poverty, but then again that is a solution to poverty, not a solution to wealth inequality.

So, why is "wealth inequality" a problem?

Ask HN: How to catch up on the state of the art in quantum computing?
In grad school, I worked in quantum chemistry and stayed up-to-date with the latest research going on. I also closely followed the related field of quantum computing — not at an expert level, but enough to know what was going on. After grad school, I switched to industry and have not kept up with either field, but over the past five years, it looks like a lot of really interesting developments have been happening.

Would anyone who works in QC mind giving me a brief summary of the major developments in the last half decade? If you have any links with more details, that would be welcome too!

(Also interested in knowing about any breakthroughs in quantum chemistry; did neural networks ever actually end up working for DFT or QMC?)

The difference between sourcehut and redis is in the governance structure and in my perceived predictability of their roadmaps.

The governing committee of sourcehut is a single person - ddevault. He clearly states his motivations and intentions regarding sourcehut in his regular updates. It is easy to predict the direction in which sourcehut will be developed over the next year.

The article we are commenting on states that the governing committee of Redis consists of representatives from Redis Labs, AWS, and Alibaba. Their agendas are not as transparent as ddevault's and mark a potentially significant departure from antirez's plans for redis.

Most importantly, as a member of a team that is just setting up a redis instance, I naturally wonder what the alternatives are so that we can properly evaluate them. Because we are a small team and strapped for cash, we would prefer to evaluate free (as in freedom) options. This is what led to my original question.

This article draw's the clear gap of concentration of wealth between the top , middle and lower. I think more than hard-work, intelligence and money itself there are two more factors which i would say if does not work or are in your favor i bet you cannot succeed and that is LUCK and DESTINY (Note - I am not saying that these are the ONLY FACTOR, but for sure are the important factors). There are lot of people who literally put their effort, time , money and all hard-work to make things happen but fails coz either their luck does not work/ favor them or the success they were chasing was not written in their DESTINY. We have fail stories as well in our society but only success stories gets printed (despite of some failures they must have faced to achieve that success).

Modern humans have existed for something like 100,000 years give or take a few tens of thousands, and yet we only started building anything particularly innovative in the last ~10,000 or so. So we spent 90% of our species' history doing very little in the way of cognitively challenging innovation.

I wonder if this might not be the reason. Some have observed that hunter-gatherers often had better nutrition and were healthier than at least early civilized humans, but maybe they also lived under a perpetual cloud of fear about the next famine, raid, or plague. Maybe that basically shut down their capacity for higher cognition. Maybe they didn't have any time to sit down and think and do so free of concern about the future.

Very cool. A few years back I was trying to build something similar, my intention was to create a canvas for visually programming cryptocurrency bots. I thought that it would be cool to be able to follow the data transformation visually, so I focused on rate limiting on the code execution and expressive animations on changes to the data so that a human can visually follow the data flow and transformations(when I switch to bullet mode, a delay is introduced between each data transformation and a visual feedback indicates what changed).

My prototype was not as neat and at some point I got convinced that it's actually easer to reason over algorithms when written in code and this visual style of programming works well as long as you deal with algorithms on very high level with no implementation detail considerations. When implementation details need to be part of the work, i.e. you need to think about how to fetch and transform a JSON file and match it with a CSV data it's actually easier to learn how to code and build your logic procedurally. Maybe people are not good at visually following large number of active objects and I think it's not only me because I'm sure that people get exponentially more confused with the addition of a new button or number to the scene.

When you don't have a simple enforced structure like "instructions execute from top to bottom" the visual freedom becomes yet another thing that you need to think. I find that the most visual processing tools that are helpful are spreadsheets, they have a good and simple structure to follow for storing and representing data and powerful features enabling calculations on that data. Google Docs also has data fetching functionality(not sure about Excel), making it a very interesting data processing software.

Please, how do you buy a piece of real estate anonymously? Come on, that's not a thing.

Certainly not anonymous in respect to the government.

A pass-through-LLC means everything is directly in your name and if you don't report it on your personal tax return you go direct to jail without collecting $200. If the LLC has its own bank account, this will also be associated with your name.

And once you're on their radar, I bet they can find enough auditors to check your other LLCs as well.

Please correct me if I'm wrong but I really don't see how you think this can work in reality.

We have this in Poland. It's a big wealth transfer from productive responsible people to those who have a lot of children regardless of their economic situation. I think there are two problems with it:

-People who wait with having children till their situation stabilizes are now subsidizing those who don't. I think this is simply immoral and will result in more productive/responible/better educated people having even fewer children.

-the money goes to often dysfunctional parents and is spent on pointless consumption and alcohol. It's not a meme that if you want to see a lot expensive brand clothes or shoes you just need to visit a poor part of the town (I live in a very homogeneous country so no race/religion/culture undertones there).

I would much prefer the money to be spent on infrastructure making life better for the kids. Making sure children can get quality food, educational materials, help from social workers, can spend quality time outside of their dysfunctional homes and maybe get exposed to different ways life could be would be in my view way more helpful.

Making sure preschool children have their needs met is a more difficult problem. Still I think giving people free access to quality nutrition, clothes, medical care, toys etc would be a better way.

Sure there is a % of people who w can manage money and prioritize their children but those people would do well anyway if the money came as free stuff you can get for your children instead of buying it yourself.

Since (very modest for western standard) ubi like program was introduced we have seen huge raise in tourism and alcohol consumption. The numbers are there. It's just people who end up in bottom % economically are usually very bad with money and decision making.

I guess we can live with that one we can afford ubi for everyone but for now the priorities should be about giving children of shitty parents a fair shot at life. Good unfortunate parents will be able to use other programs as well.

I still am in awe at some of the things he has said with impunity. Including comments he made about child pornography that are verified and abhorrent. That's incidentally another topic that is kind of sensitive for me, being the victim of sexual abuse as a child.. so perhaps I'm not without bias here, but I feel like the people who idolize this person are willfully unaware of his true character.

Like I said, trans women (and women in general) have a really hard time existing in the tech world and people like stallman are entirely the problem. So many people enable this kind of behavior and it makes me deeply sad to see that happen.
>Corruption is a natural consequence of a world governed by profit.

Profit is no necessary for corruption to happen. Lenin and Stalin did prosecute profit(and millions starved as a consequence) and their country was extremely corrupt.

It is power that corrupts. Humans have a social hierarchy like other social animals and people want to be above and not down.

Power is inside our brains not outside. You don't need to teach anything to a horse or a Wolf, or gorillas, they will try to dominate the other horses, Wolves or Gorillas.

And Humans, specially dominant Humans want to dominate other humans, and most humans don't like being dominated.
