You can still sort if using paper or gold or Bitcoin especially if many have relatives outside of the system.

But if the all economical activities are in the central bank I am not sure you can have the private part of all these non-government activities.

Not to mention mining the details of your transactions are so much easier and social credit system is so much enforceable.

The article mentioned of Norway is a good case illustrated someone beyond this line of thinking. But once the central Gov can control all, can even democracy survived one wonder. The decentralised part is the key assumption in democracy.

Byte order is one of the great unnecessary historical fuck ups in computing.

A similar one is that signedness of char is machine dependent. It's typically signed on Intel and unsigned on ARM.

I did the same. After using the site's Spotlight once, I used Cmd+Space to try it again and was blown away by how complete the app list was. "The attention to detail is incredible," I thought. "These are almost the exact apps I have on my Mac."

Haven't had my Saturday-morning coffee yet, but I think the realism and attention to detail are really impressive. (Check out the Terminal app if you haven't.)

My guess is that Linux users (or users who use package managers in general) are happy to provide bug reports or even patches when they find bugs.

Less can be said about users downloading the binaries directly from Audacity's website (Windows and macOS users), which I'm guessing is a fair bit of share. Those users will still get the choice to enable telemetry or not, and I guess those are the most important to get the telemetry from, as they are not as happy to provide bug reports nor patches.
And these number were when pushed to the max, when you are running at half the capacity if not lower it really shouldn't matter.
It's inevitable in the sense that there will always be some murders and war will never completely end.

Even democratic control can be concerning. If we want to maximize liberty and opportunity for the unfortunate and other minorities, giving 60% of the population the ability to favor themselves isn't great (see: tariffs, propping up housing prices, licensing, youth unemployment).

Democracy is the best system, but it still needs to be checked in different ways. Like individual rights. I'm open to the idea that currency competition could be interesting.
Where do you see the difference between a private currency and a public (government issued) currency? What makes one of them worse?
Also the kotlin example is using coroutines
A while back I was on a project to port a satellite simulator from SPARC/Solaris to RHEL/x64. The compressed telemetry stream that came from the satellite needed to be in big endian (and that's what the ground station software expected), and the simulator needed to mimic the behavior.

This was not a problem for the old SPARC system, which naturally put everything in the correct order without any fuss, but one of the biggest sticking points in porting over to x64 was having to now manually pack all of that binary data. Using Ada, (what else!) of course.
However, the core of Crossbar is under the EUPL, a license whose text begins: “The European Union Public Licence (EUPL) is a copyleft free/open source software license”.
Ask HN: Computational feasibility of piedpiper compression algorithm?algorithm
What are the limits of compression algorithms?

I am not asking from the perspective of what exists but from the perspective of what is possible from a theoretical computer science perspective ( computational complexity)

What is the best we can theoretically do? i.e And what doesn't piedpiper already exist in real life.

Children aren't much of a legacy either. They have 50% of your DNA and nurture. Grandkids 25%. Grand-grandkids 12.5%. Within a few generations your contribution is watered down to almost nil.
Children are amazing in their own right, but they're not exactly a legacy. If you want legacy, write a good book, start a successful company, etc; ideas are things that can become legacy.
My impression is that importance of mask is well-studied and masks are regarded as one of the most important hygienic achievements right behind washing hands. These are cold hard facts. Everything else is political wiggle-waggling.

You may argue whether it is okay for a technocratic establishment to lie to people and manipulate them; but to pretend that they didn’t feed the public with half-truths is just ridiculous.

This. The most climate-friendly way to handle forests is to actually cut parts of them down regularly (in a sustainable pace, leaving enough unaffected areas for wildlife), and use the wood for building houses and other elements which stay intact long-term.

More buildings should be constructed from wood, less from concrete, which itself causes major co2 emissions.

As a grad student in CS, for theoretical and algorithmic courses, doing the proofs one by one is the only thing that works for me on how to get a good understanding of what tools the proof provides for me, what new pattern of solving a problem exists and making use of it.

I found that it significantly expands my repertoir, or grammar and vocabulary so to speak instead of staring at the lecturer trying to explain their thought process.

I'd give a call-out to Habitat for Humanity in the US (providing lower-cost homes to qualifying families).

From the builds I've worked, they seem more than happy to exploit your muscle and tell you exactly what needs doing. It helps that home construction is mostly repetitive (nail this way, 100 times).

Also, surprise finding that about 1/4 of IT colleagues don't know how to drive a nail.

I like that theory, but TFA doesn't really advance it. Among other things, TFA argues that commercially powerful interests like record companies deliberately fractured rock and roll's racial integration into segregated genres. I don't think "geeks, mops, sociopaths" covers this kind of intentional, external crackdown on a subculture.

If you produce [salary]$ worth of value, then it does not really matter how you produce it, right?

I'm not GP, and I'm self-employed, but I think it's fair to compensate people based on the value they create, and not how much time they spend at the office. If a guy gets his work done in half the time, and his employer is happy with the cost, then everyone gets what they want.
What killed rock n roll is the same thing that "killed" every other music genre before: Demographics.

People get older and young people want to differentiate themselves from older people, so they just do different things, including listening to different music.

This even happened with what we consider classical music, from Beethoven Eroica to Stravinski Rite of Spring and specially Operas.

Old people will consider a new style an "scandal", specially established musicians and young people will adopt it.

It is not different from Einstein being a revolutionary against the Elders and then being the Elder against Heisenberg.
Their record isn't perfect, but there's plenty of evidence Apple cares about privacy. For example, Apple added E2E encryption of iMessages long before signal and whatsapp made E2E popular. They also E2E encrypt the location of AirTags - which they absolutely did not need to do. Or the recent opt-in iOS data sharing rules - much to Facebook's frustration.

But companies, like governments, countries and people are not wholly good or bad. Companies don't think with a single mind, or act with a single voice by default. They're a flag waved by thousands of different people who each have a different background, different capabilities and who each make slightly different ethical and financial tradeoffs.

Google is a massive contributor to opensource. And they harvest vast amounts of user data. And they use far less of it for advertising targetting than they could, out of respect for their users. Google makes some of their most valuable IP - Android and Chrome - (mostly) opensource and open platforms. They suspend users' accounts for silly reasons, and have a bad habit of shuttering services people care about, to the point where I generally avoid new google products to prevent heartache.

Apple makes beautiful devices. And they do a good job caring about user privacy. And the iOS app store is a rent-seeking monopoly designed to maximise profit, where they pull crap like this. They have given the world llvm. And their design leadership invented the modern smartphone. Without them android might still be trying to emulate the blackberry.

Apple deserves praise for their privacy friendly technology. And they deserve criticism for how they run the app store. I see no contradiction there.
Many people also want to live in large houses or apartments, which is extremely expensive anywhere with high population density.
Ubsan should default on. If people don't like it, then they should be made turn it off with a switch, so at least it's more likely to be run than not run. Could save a huge amount of time debugging when compilers or architecture changes. Without it, I'd say many a programmer would be caught by these subtleties in the standard. Coming from a HW background (Verilog) I'd more naturally default to masking and shifting when building up larger variables from smaller ones, but I can imagine many would not.
This is what happen when you drink that cool AI. Humans are analogical and not machines.

> (...) we had exactly 0 accountants involved,

You should really rephrase that as "I was totally unaware that there were accountants involved" because it is simply inconceivable that a business activity involving allocating resources and changing operational needs would not be tracked. Either you are grossly misrepresenting your personal anecdote or you are filling in quite a few blindspots.
I can't see why stereotyping (especially that which is uncharitable) shouldn't be classed as an ad hominem attack.

The good thing is that Big Endian is pretty much irrelevant these days.
Of all the historically Big Endian architectures, s390x is indeed the only one left that has not switched to little endian.
For me it was just a realisation that reproduction is just one way we pass ourselves on, but one that has a lot of evolutionary push to make us want to do. For me, I was just born without that push for whatever reason. I'm not sure if it's a symptom of undiagnosed asperger's that I suspect or some other thing like that. Regardless of the reasons why I don't possess that drive, I don't think children are the only way we pass on. In fact I think every action we do is a form of reproduction, including building stone walls. Maybe people think that there is something inherently different between biologically producing a living being and other forms of interacting with the world but I don't believe so personally.

In terms of your moment in your 20s, the way I see it is that it goes beyond my conventional existence as a human: I'm not just the product of all my direct ancestors, but also of all the causes and effects which have effected those ancestors. It's obvious that I am the continuation of my great great great grandfather, however I am also the continuation of my great great great grandfathers lunch that fed him, or doctor that saved him, or the Sun that supported him. Reproduction is an essential component for continued existence of sentient beings, but so is food, so is warmth, so is water. I feel that the Sun is just as much my parent as my biological parents.
I can code well - now what?

Hey folks,

I built Tinyschool - It is a collection of curated learning paths to help developers learn skills to climb up their career path. The skills include more than just coding - things like documentation, collaboration, communication, engineering processes etc.

When I was in the early stage of my career, a question that always bothered me was - I can code well, but what is next? It took years of learning at work and research to figure out what those skills are(and the list is still incomplete).

This is my humble attempt to curate all those skills. Along with a couple of other senior engineering managers, we have curated over 25 skills so far. Will be adding more soon.

And it's all free to use.

Thanks! Hope it helps.
Companies pay as little as required not to lose employees or break laws. Work is a transaction, and it looks like both that person and their employer are satisfied with the arrangement.

Apple do provide two APIs for peer-to-peer Wi-Fi access — one of them is the Multipeer Connection Framework and the other is the NetService API with the “includesPeerToPeer” parameter. This only really helps us when talking to other Apple devices though as the AWDL protocol is proprietary.

The Wi-Fi Alliance have been trying to standardise something not dissimilar to AWDL under the name “Wi-Fi Aware” (NAN/Neighbour Awareness Networking), but it is not widely implemented and will probably never be supported by Apple either, limiting cross-platform potential.
The best way of not playing this game is to, well... not play it. Why should you pay any attention to what YouTube "suggests" you should watch? I just treat YouTube as a service that hosts videos, with a mediocre search feature, and I have no interest in what it thinks I should watch.

If a real human mentions a video that piques my interest, I may watch it. If I'm interested in finding a video on a particular topic, or a specific scene from this-or-that film or TV show, I will search for it myself. If am interested enough in a certain producer's content, I may "subscribe" to them, but I will be the judge if I want to watch the latest video they uploaded.
Big Endian of course :-) However the one which has won is Little Endian. Even IBM admitted this when it switched the default in POWER 7 to little endian. s390x is the only significant architecture that is still big endian.
That's only assuming that being able to buy cheap stuff actually makes people happier. I don't think it does.
Investing, in the sense that there will be a physical company in the real world, with paid employees doing productive work so that consumers can have services, goods or infrastructure is absolutely fantastic. We want more of this.

Investing, in the sense that the company whose stock you are buying does absolutely nothing to justify the stock growth is absolutely horrifying.

However, the good news is that the person selling the stock now has money and that person should better figure out how to do the first type of investing or they end up suffering from inflation.

We had similar sayings around the number of crows you'd see together. As I got older, I realized if you spend enough time outside you'll see any combination of crows you might need to fit the rhyme and have a little talk.

One for sorrow,
Two for joy,
Three for a girl,
Four for a boy,
Five for silver,
Six for gold,
Seven for a secret never to be told.

We would say "Crow" instead of "for".

Taxi+Vyne gives you a complete service registry, so both users and systems can discover services and data.

Because Taxi lets you describe how data from services relate, Vyne can work out how to connect services together automatically, and handle the integration for you. This is a realisation of the UDDI concept, where systems can autonomously work out how to operate with each other.
I don't even know what cartoon you're talking about. I was referring to :

“The so-called paradox of freedom is the argument that freedom in the sense of absence of any constraining control must lead to very great restraint, since it makes the bully free to enslave the meek. The idea is, in a slightly different form, and with very different tendency, clearly expressed in Plato.

Less well known is the paradox of tolerance: Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. — In this formulation, I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be unwise. But we should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force; for it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; they may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive, and teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols. We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant. We should claim that any movement preaching intolerance places itself outside the law, and we should consider incitement to intolerance and persecution as criminal, in the same way as we should consider incitement to murder, or to kidnapping, or to the revival of the slave trade, as criminal.”

I'm not sure whether I consider the new EU terrorist content regulation to be good or bad, it's going to depend on what "competent authority" giving the removal orders means.

The "specific measures to protect [...] against dissemination to the public of terrorist content" just seem like usual moderation tools, but again, it's left to be seen what is going to happen in practice.
