I am French and we are a country with a great past - but not looking ahead.

I feel the same as you about both the British and the French.

Add India to the list.

The right-wing in India are obsessed about our past, and worse, desperate to associate everything about it with "Hindu religion" or "Hindu culture" despite the huge influence of Buddhism, Islam and the imperialists (largely the British who finally got the upper hand on our sub-continent).

"We were the richest country in the world till we were looted by Muslims and Christians."

"We had brilliant Hindu brahmin scientists who excelled in mathematics, medicine and astronomy / astrology.

"Look at these huge ancient temples built with extraordinary artistry that have survived for centuries."

And so on, are proof of our "great past" that they believe automatically should earn us the respect of the world.

In their obsession with the past, they totally disregard the achievements of modern independent India just because our freedom movement were lead by people like Gandhi and Nehru who opposed their idea of a theocratic-fascist state, and chose to create a secular state that treated everyone as an equal and gave every citizen equal rights.

For a country that won its independence in a non-violent manner from the most powerful empire of the world, and a country that has lifted millions of its citizens from poverty and is today self sufficient in agriculture (one of the largest in the world), and one of the few countries with an active and self-sufficient space, nuclear and defence program we have really made a lot of strides.

But for the right, India is not "respected" by the world because anti-Hindus chose secularism and thus since "we Hindus" don't respect our "Hinduness", the world also ignores Hindu cultural achievement and denies us our true place.
Thanks! I believe in it!

The Google worker said "x url is not allowed". It says nothing of using Matomo. The URL is to the js which google must have considered malicious.
I can only guess regarding the use case. I still can make a statement that I personally do not think that the coolest part of a codebase should be a new general purpose language at its foundation. To me this reeks of not invented here syndrome, inner-platform effect and KISS "violations". IMO when you provide new tooling you want your developers be able to stand on the shoulders of giants and let them choose the fights they want to fight. Idiomatic programming is very helpful in this regard. When programming new languages with macros is idiomatic in Clojure so be it, but I doubt that.

Yeah, I do understand where you're coming from and I've spent a lot of time considering how I'd re-architect murex to pass raw data across (like Powershell) rather than marshalling and unmarshalling data each side of each pipe.

In the end I settled on the design I have because it retains compatibility with the old world while enabling the features of the new world but it also behaves in a predictable way so it's (hopefully) easy for people to reason about. Powershell (and other languages in REPL like Python, LISP, etc) still exists for those who want a something that's ostensibly a programming environment first and a command line second and I think trying to compete with the excellent work there wouldn't be sensible given how mature those solutions already are. But for a lot of people, the majority of their command line usage is just chaining existing commands together and parsing text files. Often they want something terser than $LANG as a lot of command lines are read-once write-many and thus are happy to sacrifice a little in language features for the sake of command line productivity. This is the approach murex takes. Albeit murex does also try to retain readability despite being succint (which is probably the biggest failing of POSIX shells in the modern era).

What I've built is definitely not going to be everyone's preferred solution, that's for sure. But it works for me and its open source so hopefully others find it as useful as I do :)
Not sure why you are being downvoted. You're spot on.

It's even better than that, because you can pay just once and stay on the same version forever, as long as you don't need new features and support. And JetBrains gives 50% discount for license renewals, which makes it not $2500 but $1250/year – I believe this applies to all JetBrains products, not only TeamCity.
Yes but most of such countries are small in population.

The biggest countries (by population): Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Poland

All have lover GDP.

The countries with higher GDP than US (according to wikipedia): Luxembourg (pop: 638,153 ), Ireland (pop: 5,006,061), Norway (not in EU, pop: 5,457,423), Switzerland (not EU, pop: 8,717,698)

I am sure if you just take the richest few states, they are also richer than average US
> Conventions create an opinionated product. Opinions create user delight. User delight creates successful businesses.

The problem with opinionated products is people who have very strong opposite opinions. Go for example is a famously opinionated language - it even has a standardized way to format source code via go fmt which everyone uses. But if these opinions clash with the opinions of equally opinionated people, those people may refuse to touch it. Me not included (I have to stress that), my opinions are not set in stone, and I see the reasons why the language designers did it the way they did - in the end, having a standard way of doing things, even if it's not everyone's favorite way, is better than fragmentation.
The user explained it was Matomo, a Google competitor, and the worker responded with "No, that is not allowed.". Seems to leave absolutely no room for interpretation. It is not about the URL, it is about Matomo.
It’s a good illustration of the need for a simpler layout model than the three-dozen-piled-layers-of-cruft model CSS is based on.
>“Five different numbers, with different origins, built on very different mental conceptions, invented to address very different issues. And yet all come together in one glorious, intricate equation, each playing with perfect pitch to blend and bind together to form a single whole that is far greater than any of the parts. A perfect mathematical composition.”

Well that's the thing. They're not unconnected. The hype depends on the people who aren't aware of the connection.
If you already know the power series expansions of cos and sin then yes. But then you put the burden of proof into showing that the power series of cos and sin indeed define the same functions as the trigonometric definition.

The paper this article is based on: Soffia, M.; Wood, A.J.; Burchell, B. Alienation is not 'bullshit': an empirical critique of Graeber's theory of BS jobs, Work, Employment and Society 2021.

Choice quote: "The proportion of employees describing their jobs as useless is low and declining and bears little relationship to Graeber’s predictions."
The question wasn't historically if the place-of-origin names were accurate. The question was if they were historically common.

I think naming diseases after places is a bad practice we should probably do away with, but it certainly has precedent. Offhand, there's also the Marburg virus. My understanding is also that it was unusual to name the Ebola virus after the nearby river instead of the nearby town.
Also an eastern MA EE here - shortages now are the worst I've ever seen (20 years into my career). It's a brutal time to be introducing a new product. I'm having to spin new board revs just to use whatever chips I can currently scrounge from brokers.

I was surprised by the cheerleading in HN when Graeber’s work was published because it made no sense to me. I personally think that 70% of people who work in any company in which Paul Graham has invested are doing bullshit jobs - but surely no one cares what jobs I consider bullshit.
The first line of the article is "Beauty, they say, is in the eye of the beholder" and here your comment seems to relate directly to this line and the rest of the article and yet someone still found reason to downvote you for having your own point of view. Come on HN, seriously...

To explain why this is „suddenly“ about time-resolution: the mirror on the translation stage is moved back and forth which changes the length of one arm of this interferometer. This movement takes time but is necessary as the interference pattern changes with position of the mirror. These changes are recorded and allow to compute the spectrum. Since the scanning takes time, this limits how fast images/spectra can be recorded.

Yeah, I get this a lot. I wasn't aware of the trading platform when I created the shell and was quite late into the development before I was made aware. The shell and the trading platform exist in different domains so as far as I'm concerned there isn't any trademark violation but if the trading platform (and their lawyers) disagree then I'm open to dialogue with them.

I think HN is uniquely placed where it has a lot of trading topics as well as IT so it wasn't until my shell started trending on here that anyone had even noticed the naming conflict. But my shell had been around for a good few years before it started trending on here.
That's fine, then they won't use it.

How can you say nobody bats an eyelid and then link to a Bloomberg story about a lawsuit against Facebook over collecting biometrics without notifying users? People obviously care and it made the news. And you say it’s been happening for years but the article claims it’s a change made in 2020.
I wish people would stop writing this as

e^(i*pi) + 1 = 0.

That deliberately obscures the meaning behind this formula. It's only zero because it happens that sin(pi)=0 and cos(pi)=-1. The real equation is

e^(i*theta) = i*sin(theta) + cos(theta)

That's much more illuminating than the special case everyone writes. It tells you that the imaginary exponential function can be viewed as rotation.

TL;DR What Is Urbit
I think it's highly linked to alienation.

Say you're working in a call-center for an insurance company. You could look at it one way - you're a small part of a great thing, the idea of inn-sewer-ants, that means people in society have some level of safety when things go wrong.

But it becomes alienating when you see that it, along with pretty much all business, is a construct to funnel wealth to the people at the top, whilst extracting as much value as it can from the powerless people at the bottom.

Capitalism is innately more alienating the closer to the bottom you are, because due to the division of labour, people no longer have much of a connection to the results of the work they are doing, unless they are in an industry that is innately creative, such as coding, or vocational and involves seeing the direct results of helping people out.
At the risk of putting words in their mouth, they are comparing the method of airplane safety, where they look at redundancy (assume X will fail and the plane needs to survive this), looking at system solutions over individual fault (redesigning a warning indicator so pilots cannot miss it rather than blaming individual pilots that do miss it), and a regulatory body of investigators that enforce standards and investigate failures with the aim of learning from them and improving practices. You are thinking about the specific resulting design choices rather than the system that led to them.
I doubt the office is the midpoint between you and most of your coworkers (taken one at a time, not together obviously.)
Another question is how you can make a virus evolve in the direction you want. 20 years of bat evolution would not necessarily bring a furin cleavage site, so how do you make sure it does?
The point I was trying to make is that the idea of it naturally occurring was mainstream. If you tried to guess it might have come from the lab, it'd be just dismissed completely. However, both of these claims had no evidence, so why was just one claim labeled as a conspiracy theory and dismissed entirely by the mainstream media?

Do you disagree? Do you think it might have been political?
> argue that the British PM is underpaid

Being in the situation of currently enjoying* the UK PM's leadership, I'd be more inclined to argue the other way.

(Although, in a more serious tone, I would argue that long-term high level civil servants probably do deserve a higher wage than transients like PM, President, Cabinet Minister, etc.)

Delusional Trump is now claiming $10T from China. The "debate" over a leak looks more like a ruse and an attack to China than anything.
A market can be perfectly competitive and still revolve around the buying and selling of bullshit.

For instance, the financial markets are extremely competitive, but they are largely based around marketing bullshit products to more clueless people.

Just because something is bullshit doesn't mean it's useless. For example, selling you overpriced insurance enriches me and makes you feel better. Win-win!

By the same token, not feeling as if your job is useless doesn’t mean you derive meaning from your work.
Some where in the mythical “Business 101” course is the lesson that you can either find a customer and figure out what they need (customer-focus), or find a need and figure out which customers have that need (product-focus).

This dynamic is everywhere: Apple has customers, they look at what their customers need, and do various product extensions (like streaming games) to fill their needs.

Whereas many vendors on the Apple platform do the reverse: They fill just one need, and arrange their marketing to find the customers with that need across all ecosystems.

Things get interesting in “Business 201,” where a company with product focus builds up enough goodwill with their customers that they switch strategies and become customer-focused.

Which is also Apple’s story, going from being a microcomputer specialist to a device specialist to a services behemoth. It’s now about filling more needs for existing customers.
The 1/f (or any) noise spectrum represents only the *mean* amplitude in frequency domain. In reality, the amplitude at each frequency itself has an associated distribution. Since frequency domain is complex the amplitude represents a radius in 2D space and if the underlying random walk is Gaussian then the amplitude is distributed according to Rayleigh.

For generating artistic images, the artist may ignore this fact and generate only the random phases. Image to image, humans probably won't know the shortcut. But in fact, each image will have exactly the same amplitude spectra and that's not physical for real stochastic processes. Depending on the usage of the images, the shortcut could be fatal.

Eg, if we train a neural net on these generated images we should not expect that NN to perform well on the real data which our generated images were meant to represent.
Yeah, it happens periodically. I take it to simply suggest the ruling class isn’t worried about a thing.

There is no ethical consumption under capitalism.

Being able to choose not to order from Amazon is a massive privilege that most in the middle class do not have if they want to maintain something akin to a normal life. It takes a considerable expenditure of time, effort, and money, and will have effectively zero impact on Amazon.

Even fairly widespread organized temporary boycotts have not made more than a blip for them, because they're just too goddamn big. The only remedies that will work against Amazon are government-level, not individuals either on their own or in organized groups smaller than at least a state government.
For what the worth that is something I have found myself believing in recent years too

It's good, but it's not exactly easy to remember. Hence why the papers here in the UK now tend to say something like 'the Delta variant, which was first seen in India' - that's only marginally better than 'the Indian variant' tbh.
Yes, I read the article. I'm confused; is this supposed to constitute a rebuttal?
did you follow up with that company to make sure they granted you recognition and money for your tools?
Host here. I came into this knowing more about competitive coding than APL but I found both interesting. The way these ICPC teams compete as a group and train is fascinating to me but this connection between APL and GPU programming was really something cool that I was not aware of.

You should learn basic physics before you presume to know it...

It’s not a question of power. You could could get it spinning quickly or slowly with high or low power respectively but the question you are trying to ask it how much energy is required. The amount of energy to get the thing spinning is the same no matter what. And once you get it spinning, you’re done. It will keep spinning. I think there is a certain law that pertains to that. Something to do with fig newtons.

The amount of energy that is required is trivial compared to the other energy budgets. And it would be spun up at low power over the course of hours or days.
I think the Fortran equivalent using an implied do-loop is

Modern Fortran is arguably an array programming language. It has array operations like Matlab, Python/Numpy, and R.
