right they changed their algorithm last year (maybe two years ago now actually). I noticed I got a bump from it, it's interesting to me because I've never really done anything (asked some interesting questions, edited a couple things that were out of date, I have probably answered no more than 3 questions that were not asked by myself.) yet even so I am better than 50%, pretty crazy.

> They find that 67% of Greek soldiers from 480 BCE are likely non-local, while 36% of Greek soldiers from 408 BC were non-local.

The paper makes a weird mental leap here, in that the relative percentages of dead soldiers corresponds to the relative percentages of soldiers that participated in the fights. One would expect that if Himera (in Italy) went through the trouble of procuring the services of Greek mercenaries from far-away mainland Greece, it did so because Greek mercenaries were good at their job, which essentially was: not dying.
It's widely suspected that most of Tether isn't backed by anything. Some is getting handed out basically for free via giveaways by exchanges.

The evidence seems to be mainly a suggestive lack of evidence. There is over $59 billion in Tether issued versus $49 billion a month ago. Receiving $10 billion in a month isn't easy for a shady company that most banks won't do business with. There ought to be evidence of those flows somewhere.

I say the best way to teach fp is to build real world apps and contrast them with apps build with non fp style.

So ideally a language which supports both imperative and functional style, something like javascript is good to get people started.

After that a pure fp langauge can be introduced, which I would suggest to be Elm since it can be used to build games and apps for the web

I believe the parent commenter was noting that with universal healthcare the relation to poverty and not being to see the doctor was not longer a problem.
when you’re at that scale you need to have a good idea of what you mean by “made of” before you can get an answer. You end up trying to figure out what it means for a space to be occupied or unoccupied and coming to the conclusion that space is either 100% occupied or 0% occupied but not really anything in between which isn’t just an arbitrary threshold

> In reality, these roles unfortunately deteriorate into countless meetings with other managers and political struggles within a strong current of corporate compromises.

It is unfortunate that talented programmers turn their backs on leadership roles requiring inter-personal skills, propagating the stereotypes that prevent programers from progressing in their careers.

What do you mean? Could you elaborate?
You're close.

Productivity, classically i.e. 'stuff per labour input' - would be a good measure.

But productivity is ultimately measured in profits. If Nike is able to capture massive surpluses by changing their logo and making it more hip, it's deemed more 'productive' effectively, even though it really isn't in the classical sense. I guess you could argue their 'cool logo' does improve people's lives but that's different than the difference between a 'good shoe' and a crap, 1960's one.

And for services, which make up much of the economy? It's hard to measure.

And yes, rent-seeking is the other side, but probably 'the best' companies are 'rent-seekers' in some way, using their value chain power or entrenchment to generate profits. But how much is due to their innovation vs. power is really hard to tell.

Like the AppStore debacle ... what if Apple subsidized the iPhone distribution to recoup profits in their AppStore monopoly? What if if the judge rules they have to open up their AppStore to competition, thereby meaning they have to jack up iPhone prices? Would consumers win in the end? Hard to tell. (Of course, Apple makes a lot of money on iPhones, I'm just stretching reality to provide an example)

One way to do it would be to measure aggregate consumer surplus, but we don't or can't do that.
Honest question because I might be behind on how common environments behave: is webm the format your OS/device/workflow produces by default or one you convert to for sharing/optimization?
I see this comment on so many different threads about so many different organizations who choose something other than Matrix. Matrix is clearly not a much better choice for most orgs, or more orgs would use it. That many FOSS orgs don't suggests that even people who believe in free software don't all see Matrix as a viable alternative to commercial solutions. Nebulously insisting that Matrix is "better" (without any specifics) doesn't help address the problems that drive people away.

Yes, that is precisely my starting point - real world apps. I want to avoid a mixed mode approach (for example, python with the 'functional' package) because I feel that immutability (for example) is best learnt in an environment that doesn't support mutability at all. It'd be nice to have pattern matching as well, because it is easier to parse network protocols (as in Erlang's binary matching)

Not an owner. I considered putting that disclaimer in earlier and should have but forgot.

I am just someone who has loved coffee and enjoyed it for decades. While working in the oilfield many years ago I found myself in need of coffee and for that rig, the coffee was provided on contract by the local Community Coffee sales person. They serviced many rigs in the region. After grabbing a cup I ended up liking it enough to ask about where it came from and found out about Community Coffee. It turns out they provide coffee for a lot of rigs in the industry probably because a lot of people in the industry are from Louisiana.

I also found it as the company brand in several other O&G companies where I worked. In Texas, many stores carry it so it is not hard to find. Once my wife and I discovered that we could order it online though we started ordering in volume so that we would hopefully never run out. LOL.

Everyone who visits and ends up with a cup of my coffee to drink always remarks about how delightful and smooth it tastes. It really is fantastic stuff. I love it.

There are other companies that sell ground chicory and coffee/chicory blends but the one that I enjoy the most is the one from Community. Pure nostalgia and a pleasure to drink hot, warm, or cold. I prepare a liter at a time and usually end up finishing off 3-4 liters per day minus the single cup my wife enjoys daily. She occasionally has two if the weather is cold.

Man I love that stuff. I love coffee with chicory. I should write a song about this but I'm not a writer, I just love coffee with chicory. Maybe I've had too much today. Time to make another pot to test that theory.

> It all seems very zero sum. No value is getting created.

I think you might be underestimating the amount of resources that the traditional system uses to manage borrowing, lending, insurance, establishing ownership, transferring large sums, settling disputes, etc.

The adoption of cryptocurrency and smart contracts would replace a lot of the financial industry with tiny smart bits of code. That is the value being created.

Considering that traditional finance has a long history of predatory practices, anything that decreases their influence is a good thing to me.
Anyone can get followers on social media. But to get on radio or tv, you need connections and money. Also not a lot of people listen to radio or watch tv anymore, especially the younger generation. So if you want to target them, you need to advertise on social media.
Elaborate on what? They're an opinion that data integrity is dependent on foreign keys containing pointers at existing data.

In systems where actual row deletion doesn't actually happen its kind of a pointless kick to the nuts.

Now I have to create things in a specific order for no reason other than foreign keys say so. When you're using uuids for reference keys you're not beholden to what order you insert you can have these things span databases or have separate systems do the insert.

For a naive example, maybe I have an order A, and two orderliness A1, A2, why do I have to create A before I create A1 and A2. Why can't I loadbalance those three operations to different systems that insert at different timings.

Eventually they all line up, and my system is resilient enough to be ok with that.

With foreign keys you're just beholden to some feigned idea about data integrity but it's mostly bullshit.

The other common situation is when you need to backup tables and restore them elsewhere in whatever order you want, foreign keys just get in the way.
My sixth grade teacher decided that I would be sent outside of all her classes (all of them except music and PE) if I missed any homework I had failed to do from the start of the course. She didn’t even notified the principal, which asked for an explanation when he found me wandering on the soccer field the 5th day this occurred and then notified my parents. After a series of homework related problems where even the principal had to intervene on my behalf, I was able to pass grade, only for the same teacher who had been teaching the same grade for more than 10 years to pursue a change of grade. Afterwards, since the principal on which was in charge of the following grade was more sympathetic to her case, I was spelled of said school because I missed 5 homeworks in 2 months. Afterwards I heard the teacher came back to her old position.

To this date, I still don’t understand what the hell was going on on her mind, yeah, I was irresponsible, I was defiant, as there was some formalisms which I found absurd. But I was a quiet child, who payed attention to class and wanted to be left on his own and was able to ace any test because I did like learning. I didn’t even had friends so it’s not like I interrupted her class with any chatter. I guess the lesson is that some people are petty?

~20 years ago, some people had the same idea, but they also wanted the option of feedback, and to make it easier for individuals to quickly publish. Then ActivityPub was born and we have Diaspora, Mastodon, etc.

Chrome having the vast majority of the browser market, they can already see at least roughly, if not specifically, what you're doing. Clearly they want some way to tie that to an individual publisher so they know who to hit up for advertising sales.
We actually use both. We have the cloud provider's load balancers balancing to HAProxy load balancers. We use HAProxy, because it is much more flexible and powerful the the cloud provider's LB, and we use the cloud provider LB because it integrates because it is simpler to terminate public TLS with them and manage the certificates.
Are both not influenced by the Unity HUD, which was probably influenced by the macOS / OSX "Help" menu?

Not specific to this release, but for an system architect that is taking the first look ever to the product:

- the site does not do a good job of describing the products and what they do. https://www.haproxy.com/products/haproxy-enterprise-edition/ has a download button as the start and tells nothing about the product.

- it is hard to find requirements from the first page. (https://www.haproxy.com/documentation/hapee/2-2r1/getting-st...)

- is there any a page with basic architecture of the product? Some diagrams with typical configurations.

- is there a simpler HA setup than the 3 layer one here: https://www.haproxy.com/documentation/hapee/2-2r1/high-avail... ? What is the simplest HA configuration for 2 web servers?

> It is obvious that the community wants to discuss it because there have been many submissions which immediately get a lot of interest but then get killed without any reason.

The observation is correct but the interpretation is mistaken.

Some of the community wants those submissions to be on the front page. But another segment of the community is flagging them. You're attributing one action to "the community" and an opposite action to "censorship", but I can assure you that both are coming from the community. The community is simply divided.

This tug of war between upvotes and flags is in large part how HN's front page gets constituted. It's typical for the most sensational stories to get heavily upvoted at first, enough to make the front page, but then to trigger an immune reaction from the rest of the community. Those who like the story will say that it is flagged "for no reason"; but large sectors of the community do not share their views, and from these others' point of view, it wasn't "for no reason" at all.

In the case of the recent Israel vs. Gaza stories, the mods mostly didn't intervene. To the extent that we did intervene, it was to override user flags on certain stories. That makes me think that your statement, "It's frankly eye opening how much censorship there is going on", is an overinterpretation.

Should we have intervened more or less? Unfortunately the answer to that question is isomorphic to your pre-existing position on the underlying issue.
I also have this hunch that submission timing plays a role, not only on HN but other places where there's some time factor involved in the moderation system, explicitly or implicitly. My guess is you could examine this somehow quantitatively, although it might be a little idiosyncratic to specific locations.

> If it hadn't been you'd not be saying any of the above.

Well, yes, that's kind of the point. If GCC adopts that interpretation and gets a speed boost out of it, then there's pressure on Clang to do the same, unless they can convince developers that not making such aggressive optimizations is worth it. "Your code may be slower so this (arguably) edge case behaves better, but you get better error messages/compile times" is not going to be as easy to sell as "Your code will behave the same and perform as well as when compiled with GCC, and you get better error messages/compile times to boot".

> "Clang produces slow code" might be due to it not deleting "unpossible" code, but screw that, you can always go delete it yourself if it was dead.

The entire point of the dead code elimination pass is to do that for you. If anything, that's why the optimizer exists; so you don't have to perform optimizations manually.
That's why I said you'd probably need to use a GENERIC_TINY kernel, which is "supposed" to work on 4MB systems.

Now, it's entirely possible that even with this minimal config it'll take up too much space, but it may work. I got NetBSD 8 to run on a VAX with 8MB of RAM, although that kernel has many fewer drivers/modules.

Naively, you would expect this to be fixed via basic economics: high demand and low supply lead to high prices, which should lead to MORE supply, which should lower prices. And yet this doesn't seem to be the case. Very little building seems to be happening relative to the explosion in demand, and when it does happen it's mostly houses for rich folks, not ordinary ones. The system isn't self-healing anymore. It's jammed up.

Obviously this most recent spike is probably connected to exodus from the major cities due to covid, but the trend has been happening for years, maybe a full decade now. The best I can tell, this is yet another example of our economy becoming increasingly imaginary. Again, naively you would expect people to buy houses to LIVE IN, and other people to BUILD those homes so they could be sold to the first group of people. But in the recent past it seems the housing market has joined an ever-growing list of things like crypto, Game Stop stock, and who knows what else; a perverse wonderland where everything is detached from reality and rampant, delusional speculation rules the day.

The difference is, no one needs crypto, or Game Stop shares, so if crazy people want to monopolize them, fine. People DO need places to live. Many can't afford one even under good conditions. And now yet another thing ordinary people need has been stolen from them by the rich, fenced and moated off, never to be seen again. Meanwhile food prices are going up and up and up, while portions get smaller and smaller. Inflation looks ready to explode. And soon, Covid will (hopefully) be over. Which means the "pause" that was put on everything will go away. No more government assistance to ease things. No more "coming together" to fight the common enemy. You may thing there's strife online and off now, but when we "go back to normal," in a few months, or a year, a whole ton of salt is going to be ground into the waiting wound, and this housing shortage will be at the top of a long, long list of grievances. 2020 was nothing compared to what's coming.
