And the term "big bang" was introduced in the 20th century. Does that mean that that thing that happened thirteen billion years ago was not a big bang?

At least where I live, the term "alfabeta" refers very specifically to the Greek script, since that's where it comes from.
This is a vastly simple way to look at it. You need to buy a thing from someone who has some? Yes checks out, object must already exist before it can be sold to someone else. Goes for houses, booze or racehorses too. Yes, in fact every thing ever sold ever is simply enriching the person that is selling it to you. And we can’t have that can we?

I’d also add that I do not regret it. I’m sure the person that sold me my coin does regret it ;-)
Yeah the fact I can SSH into the unit and install just about any services like a web server just makes me happy and I can focus on building cool software instead as if it was a fully featured server.
To me, all that reversal attempts are deemed to fail. Last time I tried the traditional script, I was not even sure that I can write down my own name properly. It's got some twisted logic that whatever written in it does not always pronounce and/or mean similar to the one in its Cyrillic counterpart.

Actually these states maximize the taxes they can extract, some from active people and some from retirees. Taxes are no longer just a way to sustain the society, but a war game between the states and the citizens.

I lived through it in Moldova (see my other comment as well, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27081059). In 1989 that is literally what happened, the whole country went from Cyrillic script to Latin script.

I took slightly over year IIRC for basically everything written in Romanian to go from Cyrillic script to Latin script. And it was very, very hard on many people, especially middle age and older. As various government jobs switched to Latin script, quite a few people where let go because they couldn't adapt to the new system quickly enough.

I was in school at the time, and I remember that even for us it took some adjustment. I think it took me at least several months to fully switch (I'm not a native speaker, and we Romanian was a mandatory class from second grade up).

A friend of my mother's, a native Moldovan with roots back to time immemorial, still struggles with Latin script even though it's been 30 years since the change.

800 miles is quite far from the coast.

Also there are considerations other than time, it's much more convenient that driving or flying. I know in USA there's last mile problem going out of railway station but that can be solved by car trains.
I can see how having two full time jobs is tricky with say a 2-year-old, but one person full time looking after half a dozen kids and a house is not rocket science
> A GWR spokesperson told Sky News there have been reports of "hairline cracks on the suspension" of the trains but insisted the issue "doesn't affect the structural integrity of the carriage".

Is the suspension considered part of the carriage, or is this doublespeak?
No, governments are constrained by real resources. Deficits probably don’t matter as much as people thought they did, but that doesn’t mean deficit spendings can be unlimited. Plus not all spending is equal. Deficit funding of things like actual (physical) infrastructure doesn’t have the same issues as social programs. Like do we really think Western European countries have broad tax bases because they like it?

Using taxes as a means of controlling inflation (raising them when inflation rises) may be true in theory but it is of zero practical importance. Raising taxes during inflationary periods, compounding the loss spending power, is a fantastic way for a politician to lose their job.

Show HN: A transparent world built with silver nanowires
Ah, the simple life...

My grandfather would take me along and we'd go to the neighbour to fetch eggs. He had a plastic bucket that he put them in with some old newspapers scraps in the bottom. I heard that before the war they didn't even need money. He'd simply bring a bucket of milk, and he'd get a bucket of eggs in return. But it was of course a lot simpler to bring money. It was far cheaper than in the store too.

My grandfather knew what all the birds were singing. Every bit, plus their behaviour. He'd especially heed the magpie, because it's a smarter bird. If it warbled this way, it meant that the weather would stay warm. If they warbled in another way, it meant that it might become rainy. He said that the birds knew, because their lives depended on it.

Another more commonly known sign is dependent on where the magpie makes its nest. If it it's high in the tree, then it will most likely be a warm and sunny summer. But if it is tucked way down in the tree, the summer will be cold and wet. It makes sense. There's more protection from the elements further under the leaves, but it's also colder there. If I were a magpie, I'd want to make a warm and nice nest for the summer, but all that could be ruined if I didn't heed the weather.

One day, the grouse was seen perching atop the family house. When I told this to my grandmother, she went silent at first, and then she told me that it means someone will die in the family. This was of course terrifying news to me. But it also turned out to become true, because my grandfather also died that year. May he rest in peace.
I think you misunderstood my idea. For example, check the User that I defined. Even if you would have another type with the same structure, the name would be different, so it would not be interchangeable without a "cast", even though both are ultimately structural types. It's
just that the name is now part of the structural definition.
Working for a big software company (thousands of software engineers under one roof) will make that off switch work again. You'll leave the office and instantly not care or think about anything you do until you cross the threshold the next morning.

This is the positive side (along with the salary) of being a tiny cog with no power to influence broader design decisions.
That was the aside about Clothes Washing Machines.

I believe US (clothes) washing machines are usually top-loaders? And stored somewhere else, like a basement or garage?

In the UK most washing machines are front loaders, usually in the kitchen (large houses have a separate utility). There's a draw on the top to put various powders, but I don't remember ever using it and I've been washing clothes since the 90s.
Probably being a shepherd has something to do with that. It is interesting to note that all the prophets of Abrahamic religions have been a shepherd at one point in their life, for examples the most popular ones namely Moses, Jesus and Muhammad were all once shepherds.
How is it paradise? Really just wondering as I totally can't see that from afar. I see expensive housing, a lot of poor and homeless, drug issues totally out of control,... Even the tech thing is argueable. Sure most unlucrative unicorns are there, but there are cool and serious startups all around the world.

Most classes actually teaches why integrals are useful, the problem isn't the material but that student's quickly forget that and then only remembers that they did a lot of memorizations of formulas and solving algebra. Then once you have worked a lot with integrals you've built the intuition to actually understand what it does and then it seems like a simple explanation taught you everything, although most likely you already heard that simple explanation a long time ago and forgot about it since you didn't understand it at the time.
Pretty much it, yeah. If there's anything useful upstream then it will get pulled in, and there's a still a lot of worthwhile cleanup of SPARC, but the kernel will be essentially frozen.
I’m a huge Apple fan, and am often on their side on HN (check my comments). But this whole App dev and distribution unfairness I am dead against.

I really don’t see how you can view this behaviour as anything other than an unfair advantage. By all means let them level the field by not using private apis themselves.

And more importantly, when you are asked about it publicly, don’t lie about it.
depends which government and how much money I have. Right now I trust my government (Denmark) more.
I've used them for 20+ years, they used to be in plastic bags, but now they have a dissolving membrane.
It will be very difficult when total tax rate reaches 100%. It is already over 60-70% in some places, so people's lives are managed more by the government than by themselves, but when you reach 100% and the disposable income gets to be 0 it is hard to extract more tax.

Also: if you are willing to pay more taxes don't even consider forcing others to do the same, that is rude.

We Scaled Bert to Serve 1B Daily Requests on CPUs

That is easy, eliminate property taxes. That property was bought with money that was already taxed. If you provide services, ask them to pay for the actual services provided, not for a generic tax. Common services like police can be split to the number of residents.
That man has set the ideal conditions for raising a lot of children. While most city dwellers scramble from 9 to 5 to own but a cramped apartment—which also leads most of them to forgo having children in the first place—this farmer has plenty of time, and plenty of space. And he grows his own food! It's the ideal condition to raise children. And it's far safer too. I would know, because I grew up on one. But today both women and men are of course taught that a career is much better, toiling for the dreams of another man. Well, I'm not so sure.

Decision Making vs. Decision Understanding
Why is it a lobotomy to enjoy something? And sure you might have added code to Facebook to more accurately track users, or you made a 1% difference to your employer's bottom line, but this guy is a farmer, and you can have all the money in the world but at some point you still need a farmer somewhere to supply you with goods. No one NEEDS what you create. So perhaps don't be so derogatory about others life choices, I am pretty certain that this farmer would not criticize you for your choices.
I'm aware of these things, except for the claim that "vowels are not required for alphabets", since capturing vowels has always been the distinguishing feature of alphabets compared to earlier scripts. Or perhaps maybe it works differently in English, who am I to tell.

My peasant grandmother very rarely set foot outside her village’s mountain valley. When my grandfather got to held an important political party position she had to make do with living ~20 km down the valley in the area’s only town (that’s where my dad was born), but as soon as the chance arose to get back to her village she immediately took it (and I presume she also convinced my grandfather to take it, he became the village’s mayor).

She was very, very happy with her way of living (she lived to about 85 or 86), almost no medical problems in her entire life (apart from the last couple of years), why would she have wanted to give that all away? For some fancy trips to the seaside? That was not what she considered a good way of living.
Ask HN: Monitor Website for Coders?
As a coder I want larger monitors from time to time, or two monitors etc.

But with DP1.2/1.4, HDMI 2.0/2.1, TB3/TB4 it gets complicated.

Is there a website where I can see what is the cheapest card to drive e.g. 2x 5k monitors, or e.g. a Samsung G9@240Hz? What cabling do I need etc. Also what monitor works with what MBP.
Is this court-case about Apple enforcing rules consistently?, or is it about Apple can set whatever arbitrary rules it wants, on a case by case basis?
"Most math doesn't have real world examples though. "

I don't think so, as you can embed allmost any math concept in a real world context. Then the numbers get meaning - then the brain accepts dealing with it easier.

The first time I had real fun with math, was when I dived into computergraphic and had to come up with equations for various vector related stuff.

Suddenly there was meaning to it - the equations provided real benefit. With great visual results. So I had fun improving my equations with pen and paper. I never had that doing abstract math. Only slight relief when some equation finally solved, but it remakned abstract and meaningless.

So this is where I would start: a real world problem - and then to solve it, show how abstraction helps. And all the various needed math concepts along the way.

But starting with abstractions or focusing too much on them, just creates more mental blocks. I certainly had some with math - and I liked science from being very young. For common persons it is much worse. Just have a look how the common people discuss numbers related to covid for example ..
So how did your peers find out about robot vacuum cleaners, mobile phones, etc.? I guess you'll answer from their peer. And those?

Looking at the 99% latency and memory usage Java is pretty far from the winner. 99% latency actually matters a lot.
But look at 95% and 99% latency numbers - Rust is on top. And surprisingly (to me) Go totally tanks in 99% latency.

For a certain age group "millennials" is a meaningless term that can be used to generalized young people. I'm almost 40 and I'm a millennial, but my dad still talks about millennials like they're all 20 and walking around with airpods
Nice. Thanks for that useful tip.
Re: macOS, I don't think the people currently maintaining Alacritty have the ability or the inclination to fix those issues, some of which have been widely reported. Users keep opening duplicate issues without realizing it. I was guilty of this myself; I'm one of many people to notice problems with font fallback on macOS. While I thought the dev who responded to me could have been a bit nicer, it's probably frustrating for them to go through the same routine over and over. I also didn't really understand, at first, what was causing the problem that I was seeing. So I was not only bothering them, but my sense is that I came off as an idiot. (After poking around a bit, I found that the problem is in Alacritty's crossfont library. I forked it, added a temporary fix, and built my own version of the app from source. It was a happy ending to a not-entirely-pleasant experience.)
Can we change the title to something less flame bait like:
Java implementation currently most competitive in gRPC benchmark
> they also changed the name

Is that a serious argument? If you write a techno song, and I take it, turn up the BPM and publish it as “by me”, would it help my case that I also changed the name of the song?

Maybe it's cynical, but I wonder if it's a PR/imaging move. When you read these kind of names, it seems like the Linux/Rust community is embracing and supporting Windows, while really it's the reverse.

Children learn from their parents and if this is your attitude then I expect your children will inherit it. Will the world be better for them and their perspective of it is the same as yours? I very much doubt it.

Hopefully your children will learn how not to judge others for different life choices, perhaps they will be more humble and not assume superiority over others just because they had children.

In case you had not looked around the world recently, having children is no great achievement. Any idiot can have them.
You make the Internet sound like it's some kind of casino. Karma on sites like Reddit is pretty fake since they optimize towards people like violentacrez but points on twitter and facebook tend to do a better job accurately quantifying social stratification, hence their success.

It's high enough that you're liked but not high enough to be an addict who just snipes threads preaching to the crowd.

I'd be curious about why the Java benchmarks are so much better than the Kotlin ones. I could buy hotspot JVM optimizations making it better than, say, Rust. But shouldn't Kotlin be leveraging the same speed ups?

The explanations could be: a) the bytecode generated by the Kotlin compiler is much worse and b) the benchmark Kotlin code is not as good or optimized as the Java one.
As a rust fanboy, I was very happy to see the 99% and memory numbers. Still, very impressive for Java, I wonder whether this is just trading off the 99% percentile peak vs higher common case throughput? I guess rust actually allocates/deallocates all the memory on each request while java batches the deallocation?
Legacy implies transmission of information. So forgotten not in terms of memory, but a total loss of information (genetic, memory or otherwise).
It's interesting that the java ones use an order of magnitude more ram than rust. Is that just the overhead of being bytecode, or a different choice in processing algorithm?
Could someone please explain what the string after "consider this replay" is?

I see a combination of characters loosely looking like some East Asian alphabet, I guess that this is some kind of encoding ?
As someone who is math-stupid, I totally find that my main difficulty in learning a new thing is that the "obvious parts" are not mentioned, or only in such passing as to make clear to anyone that they should already know this..
I learn from the top down, I can't reverse that, but I can't "get all the fundamentals right first" and then work out from there... I need to scratch a lot of surface on the subject, then the fundamentals start to crystallize for me, so refreshing me on those obvious things in the context of what I'm learning, helps a lot.
I got interested in CBDC a year ago and since then have been reading up.

Over last month or so there's been a flurry of these articles in Economist, Bloomberg. Economist's current weekly edition's[1] focus is CBDC. I get a feeling that through these media outlets policy makers are sensitizing people to an impending launch sometime around 2024.

China was going full steam ahead with different phases of public trials since at least as early as March 2020. China has announced they plan to public launch it next year's winter Olympics. It was largely ignored by the western media. I guess now that they see Chinese launch as being a success the West will want get on the bandwagon.
