I was lucky to work with many Russians at my last company in Berlin. At its peak we had all-Russian team, that was hilarious, cracking jokes all day like you never left home. So I wasn’t seeking anyone. But I hear Berlin has a large community. I was also lucky to live one train station away from the largest Eastern European grocery shop. The things you find there turn ordinary shopping into an adventure.

It’s different for smaller cities, since most young immigrants congregate in IT hubs. And there’s a huge difference to, say, Chinese or Thai. The latter seem to value their community much more that Russians.
you don't understand what it means to be "not mutually exclusive".
You are correct that my family members do not need hearing aids. But I am also not saying hearing aids are useless. I am just saying it is not worth going to the moon for.

Since it would've been cheaper to not go to the moon and let a private company step in to provide the need there would have been more resources to spend on improving more lives than were improved now.

Yes, I quite liked this about New York city, too. "Wow, look at that thing, it's about to fall". Anyone can start talking to you. I was on a business trip and having a coffee near Times Square when an American tourist just commented about a crane on a tall building nearby and then proceeded to tell me all about his life experiences, about the heat in Arizona, his war experiences, etc; It was very refreshing and "humane", for lack of a better word. It happens all the time in India, too, where I was born, but somehow, I did not expect folks in the US to be chatty. I guess I presumed they are more worried about privacy and stranger danger!

Here's an analogy: imagine a neural network having to train it's neurons but without them having any connections to each other! Is such a thing even possible? Interconnections are what help us tune to (maybe even perceive) reality!
I don't think it is fair to claim that "Lichess is straight up ugly and the interface is just messy" in such absolute terms. While this might be your opinion, I for one like their design a lot and think it's very clean!! (and prefer it to alternative chess websites)...
The one that you hear complaints about the most (the USA) comes in fact closest.
If you had built in nudges within a bug tracker would you prefer that over a PM?
One annoying problem we are trying to solve with inbuilt nudges in the bug tracker we are building https://bugasura.io is nudge people to act on things they need to act but have not.

Hopefully our next step is to let people define their own nudges and SLA's to close bugs assigned ot them.
From the outside, I like what ReadTheDocs does with Ethical Ads. Because ReadTheDocs's scope is largely limited to technical users, they can deliver "targeted marketing" where they're delivering ads based on the content of their pages rather than user tracking. Also the ads I remember seeing didn't feature attention-grabbing images, just a solid background, the advertiser's logo, and some text about what they're selling. It meshed a lot better with the page content than most ads do.
Nice. But is there any like-this guide in Rust?
This is assuming that this stream of income doesn't ever dry up.

I personally think that the founder should have enough money to never worry about money, or at least have a big buffer.

If at some point in the future for whatever reason Lichess gets less donations, he could be screwed.

On the other hand if he had a bit of a warchest he either has runway to increase revenue or to find another source of income.
the thing people seem to have forgotten is that reality _was_ different until 20 years ago, when the powerful clubs pushed for the creation of the Champions League, then for unbalanced dividends that rewarded the already powerful, then killed the Cup Winner's Cup.

In the '80/90s the Champion's Cup was won by Red Star Belgrade, Porto, Hamburg, Steaua Bucarest, Aston Villa, Olympique Marseille, Ajax, PSV etc in addendum do the "big ones".

Then the big clubs bullied the UEFA and the local leagues into giving them more and more money in proportion, and changing the rules so they'd basically never be excluded.

This latest attempt is just another step towards a future where the reality of the small team getting to the top needs to be completely erased in the interest of the big teams.
International basketball leagues in Europe are a mess, they went through several schisms and, if i remember correctly, some of them now work on an invite basis. You can reach the top rings of a national league and still don’t get into the European competition you’d deserve simply because you’re judged “not big enough”. The contrast between our system and the NBA has always been stark, but at least in the past century this could be justified by a love of competition; now it just shows that the European game is run by amateurs and bureaucrats.
A lot has changed with the advent of TV. Suddenly you could have millions and millions of fans instead of thousands. And a corresponding advertising opportunity.

Few people would let such an opportunity lie on a pavement without picking it up, especially given the fact that the recollections of the Great Depression were still within living memory.
Do people really think we are investing any significant amount of resources into Mars today?

A few national space agencies have launched flyby or rover missions, with a total cost of maybe $10-$20 billion combined over many decades. You could even argue that we have recovered some chunk of that in scientific knowledge.

There are ~5 private companies with any plans involving Mars, and I'd say all but one are scams.

SpaceX has Mars as a long term mission, but everything they are doing at present (mainly satellite launches) firmly involves Earth. All their Mars talk right now is marketing and PR, nothing more. Their total spending to date is also in the single digit billions.

All this money put together is a rounding error compared to the sums involved on every side of the global warming debate. The total number of people who have any portion of their productive work involve Mars is probably in the hundreds or low thousands.

Say we did get rid of all these NASA missions and even SpaceX entirely, how would that help Earth?

People scroll through Twitter and are convinced that we are just about to set up a Mars base, when the reality is that none of us will likely see a human step on Mars in our lifetime.
I have a story that captures what you're saying fairly well.

About a decade ago I was living in a major southern US city in the more modestly priced part of an upscale area of town. I came back to the area from work fairly early in the afternoon, rounded the bend, and saw both sides of the street littered with unmarked police cars and vans, with many, many extremely large men in suits and sunglasses running around, directing the hapless local cops to do this and that. I'm talking the whole American militarized authority jamboree and then some: dogs, rifles, lights flashing, citizens being shooed away. A big SWAT-looking van poking out of a driveway. Maybe 3 dozen official looking people all told. US law enforcement is nothing if not histrionic and self-important in how it occupies physical space, but this presence was more than just the usual overreaction to a cat stuck in a tree. I remember thinking "uh-oh" and really meaning it.

Of course I couldn't get into my parking lot -- I lived across the street a few doors down, and the cops weren't letting anyone through -- so I parked nearby and walked back over and began to chat up some neighbors, exchanging speculation on what the hell it could be. Obviously they were FBI, we all agreed - that's the cyborg-looking guys in suits, surely all grown in the same vat near Quantico? And the crime? Terrorism was the consensus, though one guy was sure it was counterfeiting money. (I remember that because he insisted that he knew someone "who used to do that".) The vibe standing there was equal parts morbid curiousity and real nerves -- what if someone was making bombs in our quiet residential neighborhood?

After a while someone got up the nerve to ask one of the bewildered local cops what the heck was going on. "That's not the FBI," he says, "that's the US Postal Police." Apparently someone was "sending marijuana in the mail".

This effing country, right?

> "Part of the reason Apple can get away with doing this is that — and let’s be honest — it’s been selling badly underpowered systems at certain price points."

Well, they've been doing this for a long time, and were able to pull it off only because we got hooked up with their ecosystem and preferred more than the alternatives. What worries me though is the trend to make these machines totally unupgradeable: not only this is bad for the environment but will also decrease the long-term value of these expensive objects.
There is one discipline which truly allows defining functions without code: Programming By Example[1]. It is particularly useful in data wrangling, at the 'Transform' part of ETL.

Microsoft has some initiatives exploring it[2] (including the limited autocomplete in Excel as a toy version of the concept), but this is not it.

What I find interesting is the part at the bottom that shows how much a donation helps: a $5 donation is enough to cover the company's budget for 6 minutes. This sounds really good for a few reasons: 1) since I play Lichess for several hours a month, I feel that I'm really getting my money's worth; 2) Lichess only needs a few thousand people to contribute $5/mo to stay net positive and I feel like it's easier to convince a few thousand people in a supportive community to part ways with $5 than it is for other companies to get a million people to donate $1; 3) I remember Reddit used to show on your profile how many server minutes your Gold purchase was worth and it would display something like 200 minutes for every $5 purchase, but this is only a single server out of hundreds and doesn't account for any other expenses, so Lichess is unsurprisingly very cheap to operate in comparison.
Ask HN: Is there a book on writing good code?
I’ve been working as a full-stack developer for almost two years now, and I want to write better code. How can I learn how to code like i’m working at a top software company ? I would like to know the best practices that they use. I’m curious about any book recommendation or resource.
>Every gallon of oil, every mineral that doesn't find its way back through recycling effectively disappears.

I realize this is a hell of a caveat, but if we ever get fusion running in a real way, our problems of resource scarcity are essentially solved. Like you said, the elements we have on Earth right now aren't actually consumed, they just get shuffled around. Make electricity cheap enough, and un-shuffling what is needed becomes economically viable in a way that energy-as-provided-by-oil could never achieve.
effortless sounds good, but is it really true here? If I have to style the complete editor myself that sounds like a lot of effort.
I would go in the direction of "The fully customizable editor" or something similar.
Between a country that attacked numerous others with few interruptions during the last 70 years and another one that didn’t attack any other since its last war (technically not over), who is the real rogue state? Who has more nuclear weapons that any other state? Who has military bases and make use of them on almost everyday continent?

North Korea is being bullied for ideological reasons that lost meaning with the end of cold war. The solution is more integration in the international community, not more bulling that profit only a few politicians of one country.

Americans teach that North Korea is an evil country that must be destroyed. Your comment is a perfect example of this education.

It's more about what's at stake. Nobody cares about the Lakers playing the Clippers in game 35 of the regular season, it's all about the playoffs, i.e. when they're playing for the championship.
I see Mars as our "first convenient UAT". If we can make this work (get people to create a settlement and live there for 1-2-5-10 years), then we can identify and study the requirements and impact, and probably repeat the process to the next planet further out.

First you get to feel comfortable with lifting 20kg before you move to 30kg, 50kg, etc. improve your wrist angles, how you spread your toes on the groun, etc. Mars is our 20kg. We take it for a spin, iron out the wrinkles, repeat it perfectly, then move to the next target.

Meanwhile we 'studied' Mars for 'so long' that we know there are very few things that can surprise/wipe the effort with e.g. a single volcanic erruption/earthquake/mega-storm.
I remember encountering this wonderful page/website about ten years ago, and I was struck by two things:

1. How effective it was (and is). Both the demonstrations here (of Boyer-Moore algorithm, and of Knuth-Morris-Pratt) illustrate the algorithms very clearly (the same for the linear-time majority vote algorithm); the interactive (web) medium really helps (just hyperlinks and maybe the back button); and the technology is nothing more than a hand-coded HTML file (with abundant "<BR>"s), already over a decade old when I saw it. (The DOCTYPE line in the source mentioning "HTML 3.2" lets us date this to 1997 I guess, as HTML 3.2 was released in January 1997 and HTML 4 in December 1997.)

2. The page one level up from this (https://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/moore/best-ideas/index.html), titled ``My'' Best Ideas, which opens [Incidentally, this usage of `` and '' reflects ancient fonts—you can see the same usage in Emacs, TeX, etc—explained well by Markus Kuhn here: https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/quotes.html] with:

> Here are the technical achievements of which I am most proud. I think such a list gives more insight into my research than, say, the traditional ``Honors and Awards'' section of a resume.

And it lists eight ideas. Firstly, what a great idea to make such a list. And secondly, an impressive research career, and it's a successful life, to end with a portfolio of 8 ideas of which one can be proud. One doesn't need much more, and to have a handful of good ideas is something to hope for. I'm reminded of this, from Proofs from the Book (saw it here: https://sites.math.rutgers.edu/~zeilberg/Opinion82.html ):

> The essence of mathematics is proving theorems – and so, that is what mathematicians do: they prove theorems. But to tell the truth, what they really want to prove once in their lifetime, is a Lemma…

Case in point, Slate Star Codex advertising used to be quite good. I remember it had these riddles from Jane Street, who where looking for people to hire this way.

Also, because the ads were somewhat long running they weren't as intrusive and attention seeking like ever changing ad spots by Google or something. Saw them once, didn't bother me ever again.
I’m such a nerd. I thought it’s the firewall. And sure enough it was a network rule blocking the traffic.
For me it is actually not fear of being made fun of, it is just that I don't like to repeat myself because I am not understood. Talking in a way where people understand what you are saying has tangible benefits.

My home dialect is so far removed from "propper written German" that to me it just feels like talking a different language, which arguably makes things easier, because it doesn't feel like I am adjusting my Austrian German to make it fit, it feels like I am talking in a different language altogether.
The insight in the Kelsey paper I linked is that SSA and CPS are essentially equivalent. SSA is more or less CPS expressed at a kind of lower level, more like a bytecode. So one answer to the question is that all SSA compilers are already using a form of CPS.

If you wanted to use traditional CPS explicitly, you'd need a transformation step that converts the imperative source code into a more functional intermediate form so that it can be CPS'd. There might be benefits to that, since CPS can be easier to analyze than SSA. But I'm not aware of any real imperative compilers that do it.

There's been academic work on it, like: https://arxiv.org/abs/1202.3247

One of the potential benefits is covered in that paper: the ability to prove correctness of the transformations. That kind of thing is easier to do given the mathematical tractability of CPS, due to its connection to lambda calculus.
You will never have a stabilized system unless you are multinode. Hardware will fail. Rust is not good at this.
Yupp, certainly don't disagree. It's not a perfect system - to comment on those two issues: there were some pipe dreams when I was there to support schemas, including partial schemas, but we needed a better migration story (and someone to convince the powers that be it was the right thing to work on). The limitations on keys are mostly due to the system being compatible with Cloud Datastore.

I am sympathetic to their need for manual intervention, but maintainers should be the last line of defense, not the first and only line they seem to have here. Specifically:

> If the pull request is updated to a new commit, a new approval will be required.

What?!

It'd be much more palatable if the manual approvals were more selective.
For example:

- only invoked if a job takes more than 1.5x or 2x the max recorded run-time for the job.

- some notion of PR-author's karma being used to throttle manual approvals from maintainers.

It also would be fair to allow maintainers that do not want this load to mark their repos as open-source but closed to contributions.

How to Write a Dockerfile
A large part of this is also just the immaturity of the industry as such.

Kraken now has a US banking license, Coinbase is not more likely to shut down or screw you over than any normal bank, etc.

The people saying "not your keys, not your coins" are in general applying the same logic to banks - so, yes, "not your cash, not your fiat" holds just as true in principle. Banks and government institutions can still freeze your funds for arbitrary reasons. In many places you also don't have any recourse in the event of, say a combined hacking + SIM-jacking attack resulting in loss of funds from your bank account.

Understanding how to protect your funds properly will continue to get easier to understand and do over time (and honestly, a hardware wallet like for example Ledger is in principle not more complicated or difficult to use properly than using the various 2FA systems banks utilize today).

It's not that hard today, and it will continue to get easier.

More secure ways to do custodial/multisig/etc that relies on a third party like a bank are being continuously worked on as well.

It's still early days. But at the end of the day, if you're happy to forfeit your independence for convenience, banks will be happy to fill that void for you.

The promise of cryptocurrency is that you have the choice. That choice does not exist in the legacy fiat economy.
I think you interpreted GP in the opposite way: the Premier League is _ahead_ of other leagues, as it has way more money and has acted as a drag for talent for many years.
You are focusing on now, it's not about now and it's not about us, it's about the species, if our ancestors gave up in the face on every obstacle we would still number about 1000 in a small valley in Africa or most likely we would be extinct. Life expands and to quote Jurassic park life finds a way.
Wait, I'm an idiot. I wrote "less exploitative" when I went to write more exploitative. You're right: to say that it's less exploitative would be absurd.

Elon Musk is an egoistic scammer. How does PayPal benefit humankind? How does Tesla benefit it? The latter is simply irresponsible thing to do, humans are shitty with Level 2 self-driving, it is simply psychologically not safe for us to do that. And we are so far from higher levels that it is just a highly regarded scam.
And frankly, his all-around behavior is just shitty. Union-busting, this whole selling himself as a self-made genius, while he bought both Tesla and SpaceX (even the founder title was bought), and the laughable claim that he came to the US with like almost no money, when in fact his family has a goddamn emerald mine (and I know that “he barely talks to daddy”, but come on..). It just plays into the “temporarily embarrassed millionaire” mindset.

When looking at a desktop sized web page such as old Reddit, most likely an entry's title won't fit horizontally on the screen. What some browsers do (and I really dislike) is that they somehow guess what's important on the page, and bump those elements' font size in ridiculous ways, while leaving others as they are. I believe this is called font inflation, or text size adjustment. This makes it so the title of a Reddit post becomes huge, while the 'see comments' button below it stays ridiculously tiny and unclickable.

Other browsers just don't care, leave the text in desktop-like proportions, and when you zoom in you end up needing to scroll sideways back and forth to read a sentence, quite cumbersome.

The most reasonable solution is Opera's where if you're on a desktop like site and you zoom to a block of text, it allows the letters to increase in size naturally according to your pinching, but when you let go it reflows the text block and makes it wrap once a line (at its new zoom level) reaches your phone's screen width. This way if you see a long paragraph (or Reddit title, for example), you can zoom until the text is readable, and then only need to scroll up and down, instead of sideways as well, without compromising the original site's design by wonking up the font sizes at (apparently) random.

I'm not sure I did the best job at explaining it, but basically the goal is to be able to zoom into small text on desktop-like pages until I'm comfortable with the size, and then make it wrap to the screen's width so you don't need to scroll sideways to read the text.

Easiest demo is to download Opera on Android, go to old.reddit.com and zoom around. Once you get used to it, every other browser becomes annoying.

Edit: lol, after typing all that I thought of looking up a video and here it is. Looks like some phone's default browsers already do it well too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAWTd9h1lbI

What are you talking about? Since the Premier League was created in 1993 four teams (Man Utd, Chelsea, Man City, Arsenal) have won 25 of the 28 titles.
