> Teachers are employees, and freedom of speech has never been recognized in that context.

In college, it certainly has and is recognized. Tenure, in particular, is at least partly designed to protect professors' ability to research and speak, free of censorship or influence.
There's a huge difference between "consequence of your speech is that you may be criticized and maybe shown you're wrong" and "consequence of your speech is that you will be fired from your job, physically attacked, denied access to business and services, and people who dare to support you will be attacked in a similar fashion". Pretending to not understand the difference and calling both "consequences" is plain disingenuous - and steps right into what Smirnov's original joke was about. Yes, speech has consequences in both free countries and totalitarian ones. In the former, it's debate, in the latter it's jail and execution. Thankfully, the woke is not yet in the latter position, but they long left the former one and are inch by inch moving to the totalitarian side.

And no, none of the facts I stated were "rebutted". One incorrect comment was made about Rahman and Mattis, clearly quoting old (and also incorrect) press articles, which totally missed the point (I never claimed they work for ACLU), and I was then hilariously called "parroting Taibbi". That's not rebuttal.
If this is the explanation then shouldn't we find it weird how intensely factional humans are about identities? How much work marketers put into identifying segments and creating associations? A smart robot would also economize on decisions, but it wouldn't necessarily gang up with other Emacs robots against the vi robots.
Neo-Kantian generally refers to the application of the style and epistemology provided by transcendental idealism in treatment of other subjects, rather than as a departure from Kant.

The Thing-in-Itself was once controversial but undeservedly. It's necessary to prevent the subject knowing the object fully, so thus it is treated in the sense of Cassirer/Cohen's Infinitesimal. No one has trouble with Noumenon maybe only in the disappointment with the intractability of metaphysics to answers some of the most pressing questions.
A starting point would be to have a dedicated team perform steps 1-3 as a service to all teams, individual teams become responsible for steps 4-6, and management assume responsibility for step 7 as well as overall goal setting (e.g. deciding by how much they want all teams to reduce/mitigate their risk over the coming epoch).
SEKA and all the derivates (and later ASM-One) are the assemblers I have still fond feelings for. Their instant like compilation - like Turbo Pascal before - made development a joy. And with all the extensions - like sine wave generators - made demo development much easier. We were always keen to get an new assembler on a copy party.

It's hard to implement if you are doing machine to machine automation (for example SFTP over SSH).
Awesome to see. Has always thought there were too few concat langs out there. And also really nice that you connect it really well it seems to func prog.

I've even felt this niche so underrepresented that I have been thinking about creating a language for it myself. So maybe you beat me to it, or rather I can look to you for some inspiration :p

Question: What made you chose to compile to Rust instead of to LLVM or something like that? Do you make use of the memory safety you gain this way in some interesting ways?

> The thing with REST, is that at its core, it's basically a RPC (Remote Procedure Call) that we've been trying to cram in the HTTP protocol. There is no good reason to do that. HTTP wasn't made for this, and we should instead be abstracting that layer away instead of trying to use it for purposes it's not meant to fulfill.

Yea, I'm gonna have to disagree with that statement. Things like OpenAPI have tried to solve the problem of having a generic format, but the problem is that in practice, apps/services are opinionated on how they structure data. For some this is a really good thing™, for example when an engineering group really thinks about their API design while for others, who haven't thought it through, this becomes a living nightmare for users of those APIs.

HTTP/REST are used (and will continue to be used) because they are ubiquitous. I would argue that 99.99999% of internet devices have the capability to speak REST. Whether that is curl in a shell script, javascript in a browser or python in an application... Nearly everything is capable of speaking REST, which I would actually argue is why a well thought out REST endpoint is a great solution for most applications.

There are "true" RPCs that do RPC really well/fast and when it makes sense to leverage those in your architecture you absolutely should. However, if it requires other developers to integrate with it, REST APIs are typically the way to go.
In the space of all the dismissive/abrasive comments on HN, I think the GP ranked pretty low
Maybe this is a hot take, but maybe if a job doesn’t make a living wage, then it’s a job that shouldn’t even be offered? If someone can’t make it on a cashier job then the public shouldn’t be afforded the convenience of having a cashier. Same thing with any other service people provide. Maybe minimum wage destroying jobs (if that even actually happens) would be a good thing.
It would be nice if it wasn't this way, but unilaterally excluding yourself from this meeting culture only hurts you.

Agreed.

This is a great comment. There's a bit more nuance in practice, but getting people thinking and talking this way is such a strong start.
I think in the Rails mailer context you're expecting "render a view" to be a comfort zone for the reader, the line is suggesting a mental model you hopefully already have that will really help you understand how the upcoming process will work. "It's kind of like view rendering, so I should expect a template file and the need to correctly set header fields."

I learn best by analogy, so the first version in the article was very helpful and comforting. The second version makes me, and I think the parent and grandparent, expect that view rendering is more like requisite knowledge than a possibly useful analogy. "Only true experts in how views are rendered need apply, I better study that first."

"overgenerous benefits"

Group velocity [1]:

Since the 1980s, various experiments have verified that it is possible for the group velocity (as defined above) of laser light pulses sent through lossy materials, or gainful materials, to significantly exceed the speed of light in vacuum c. The peaks of wavepackets were also seen to move faster than c.

In all these cases, however, there is no possibility that signals could be carried faster than the speed of light in vacuum, since the high value of vg does not help to speed up the true motion of the sharp wavefront that would occur at the start of any real signal. Essentially the seemingly superluminal transmission is an artifact of the narrow band approximation used above to define group velocity and happens because of resonance phenomena in the intervening medium. In a wide band analysis it is seen that the apparently paradoxical speed of propagation of the signal envelope is actually the result of local interference of a wider band of frequencies over many cycles, all of which propagate perfectly causally and at phase velocity. The result is akin to the fact that shadows can travel faster than light, even if the light causing them always propagates at light speed; since the phenomenon being measured is only loosely connected with causality, it does not necessarily respect the rules of causal propagation, even if it under normal circumstances does so and leads to a common intuition.

Meanwhile Germany created this bureaucratic monstrosity: https://www.sprind.org/en/ Their offer is really hard to understand. As a founder I want DARPA alike grant, but I guess, this organization will not give me one. Other sources claim, that this agency supports idea with up to €200k. That’s a laugh number compared to DARPA. As a taxpayer I just have a feeling about tons of money wasted in this funny political project.

It would be awesome if you could create a version for F-Droid. If not, that's understandable. This looks really cool!
I think good documentation would give a bit more orientation on the first sentence. E.g. why not mention what other ways to render a View exist and maybe even link to them

"Mailer is one of muliple ways to render a view. It translates a view into a text- or HTML-Email.

Other available Renderers are PDFWriter, Printer and CSVWriter"
It's much better to invest in a U.S domestic C corp startup because then you're eligible for QSBS which is one of the biggest tax breaks in the whole tax code. Sure the founders can live anywhere they want, but it's got to be a U.S domestic C corp to get that tax break.

However, the founders have to comply with backup withholding and all that jazz if they live overseas and are not U.S residents.
Simply googling would answer many of your questions in thirty seconds. For example, search for by lesson plans and you’ll discover there are many marketplaces for lesson plans.

People unfamiliar with problems frequently think they are easy, because they fail to understand the complexity of the problem.

A similar question might be “why would you invent a new programming language, when you could just use an existing one?”

Answering that question to a non programmer might require hours of explanation and background, and you might find yourself just sighing and saying “never mind”. That doesn’t mean you don’t have a reason, or it was a bad idea. It just means it’s not your job to explain things. Particularly to people who make it clear they have an agenda.
Slight correction: PG has the privilege of thinking that he can think for himself. And, everytime he posts such an enlightened self-aggrandizement, his post will be lauded and upvoted by many other similar free thinkers, all of whom are unorthodox, but never the victim, who see groupthink everywhere, but are never a part of it.

The self-congratulation will continue, until society improves.
The word “just” is superfluous in the sentence, and to the author’s point can easily imply more simplicity in use, concepts, etc. than is warranted.

Software documentation should be more like scientific article writing: passive, and having few or no modifiers like “trivial” or “just” or the like.

And yes, invading Taiwan after China took over is an option, but I don't see how it's possible that option would be chosen. Engaging another super power like China is extremely dangerous and would lead to a massive conflict. Our carrier strike groups are mighty, but they would be overwhelmed by anti ship missiles very quickly. If the United States were serious about defending Taiwan in a conflict, we would have troops in Taiwan as a deterrent like we do with other countries in the region.
> major indoctrination efforts such as the 1619 project

You may believe the 1619 Project is a "major indoctrination effort" and that it lacks "academic rigor", but that's not established fact at all. Many people think highly of it and of her work - including her potential UNC professional colleagues, who wanted her there in a tenured job at an excellent university. It does represent a point of view that disagrees with established ones, but that's almost the point of academic research: Find where established beliefs are flawed. Especially on sensitive topics, that may result in an angry reaction and division; that shouldn't stop people from publishing, and that's what tenure protects.

Nothing about the conservative response to the 1619 Project seems distinguished from that kind of reaction, or from the reactionary response to most attempts to address racism.

> Someone like her that teach students what to think instead of how should not get tenure, and does not meet the academic rigor to teach.

What basis do you have for saying she teaches in that manner? All professors have their own research, their own point of view, and they teach it. If you've taken a liberal arts college class, you will recall that you are expected to be able to handle that and think critically about it.

> Calls for academic freedom has been used to subvert university resources from academic pursuits to political activism.

What distinguishes those things? Who decides? Just because it has happened at some time in some place, is that evidence that it's happening now? Should we eliminate all academic freedom?
Yeah, I bought 8 of these back in the day for two RAID servers. I have one left that I haven't had to replace since.

MoneyCraft Review
Quote from the link: Kegan describes three stages of adult development (numbered 3, 4, and 5). We could call them pre-rational, rational, and meta-rational. These stages are distinctive, internally consistent, relatively-well-functioning modes for organizing one’s thinking, one’s self, and one’s relationships. They might be described as “islands of psychological stability.” To progress from one island to the next, you must cross a heaving sea of psychological confusion, in which the previous mode no longer seems functional, but you cannot yet operate in the next mode reliably. These stage transitions are emotionally and cognitively difficult, and typically take several years, during which one may think, feel, and act inconsistently.

These ideas are not discussed enough, do you know any schools that teach it and give people a hope to achive meta-dationality? It is there a risk of people faking meta-rationality?
Out of curiosity, how would you compare this particular distribution of complexity to that of setting up and using ZFS?

ZFS gives me set-and-forget sha256 checksums that are kept up to date in as data is written in real time. And the checksums are block-indexed, so 100GB files do not need to be-hashed for every tiny change.

I also never have to worry about the "oh no which copy is correct" logistics nightmare intrinsic to A->B backup jobs in nightmare scenarios where they fail halfway through, as both copies of my data (I'm using 2-way mirroring at the moment because that's what my hardware setup permits) are independently hashed and ZFS will always verify both sets on read. (And reads are fast, too, going at 200MB/s on a reasonably old i3. No idea how any of this works... :) )

As for cross-platform compatibility, my understanding is that if the pools are carefully configured correctly then zfs send/recv actually works between Linux and FreeBSD. But this kind of capability definitely exceeds my own storage requirements, and I haven't explored it. (I understand it can form the basis of incremental backups, too, but that of course carries the risk of needing all N prior tapes to the current one to be intact to restore...)

The two mostly-theoretical-but-still-concerning niggles that I think a lot of setups sweep under the carpet are ECC memory distribution, and network FS resiliency.

All the ranting and raving (and it does read like that) out there about ECC means nada if the RAM in the office file server in the corner implements defense in depth (if you will), while files are mindlessly edited on devices that don't have ECC, through consumer/SOHO grade network gear (routers, switches, client NICs, ...) that mostly also don't use ECC. Bit of a hole in the logic there.

I did a shade-beyond-superficial look into how NFS works, and got the impression the underlying protocol mostly trusts the network to be correct and not flip bits or what have you, and that the only real workaround is to set up Kerberos (...yay...) so you can then enable encryption, which IIUC (need to double check) if set up correctly has AEAD properties (aka some form of hashing that cryptographically proves data wasn't modified/corrupted in flight).

SMB gets better points here in that it can IIRC enable encryption (with AEAD properties) much more trivially, but one major (for me) downside of SMB is that it doesn't integrate as tightly with the client FS page cache (and mmap()) as NFS does, so binaries have to be fully streamed to the client machine (along with all dependent shared objects) before they can launch - every time. On NFS, the first run is faster, and subsequent launches are instantaneous.

I read great writeup about this myth

We already had something massively - orders of magnitude - bigger than 1/6. In fact, it is happening right to this day - riots in Minneapolis and Portland continue right now, and have been happening all through 2020. The economic harm is in billions, the victim counts is raising steadily, and that before we account for the huge spike in crime - including murders - that happened in the last year in many major cities.

Yet somehow it's not a "tangible threat to safety" while a bunch of wackos fantasizing on the internet how Trump is about to be revealed as the Messiah is. Sorry, it's very hard to treat such "safety" concerns as genuine while keeping ignoring the real safety threats. It's more like a pampered $100K-per-year college student cries that she feels "unsafe" going to their college campus because somewhere there on campus there is a professor who once said something that puts him slightly on the right of AOC. It's not what people mean by "safety", it's weaponizing "safety" for political reasons.
So it’s a honey pot now? What a lifecycle.
We agree, utility scale solar is cheaper than rooftop. However the vast majority of (over 97%) of electricity in the USA is not from Solar.

Also keep in mind, just because your power company can build solar 3x cheaper than you can, does not imply they will sell the power to you are 1/3rd the cost. They have to service the loan, provide a profit, pay off any insurance/risk mitigation, have stock holders, etc. etc. etc.

After all the current price you pay for kwh, is a combination of the cheapest power your power company can find, and is often high enough for numerous vendors to offer "free" solar and charge you less than the power company does for power.
I appreciate how you framed this and helped me see how identity can help us streamline the decisions we make in what we do.

I think identity can have a secondary effect of communicating to others those decisions we've made about what to do.

For example,
Someone: What do you do?
Me: I give speeches.
Someone: So you're a speaker?

It can be a way to bundle a bunch of actions/beliefs/etc into something that is quicker/easier to communicate to others. For example, as a speaker, I may write speeches, deliver speeches, book clients, travel to different companies, and other actions.

The challenges may come in the disagreements we have about which actions belong to which identities. For example, a speaker for some may be someone who speaks at corporations and gets paid for it. For others, it may be someone who gives motivational speeches to schools. For others, it may be someone who speaks on YouTube videos. So for each of those groups, they may hear "speaker" and associate different actions/beliefs/etc. and it can lead to conflict. I know I've seen some of this conflict when I tell someone I have created some Wordpress sites, they can immediately jump into "so you're a coder" and I can quickly think "no no, coders are people who create fullstack stuff, I'm just a tinkerer," etc etc.
The IBM Deskstar drives from the early 2000's are the most infamous to me. I remember having to put one in the freezer for a bit in a last ditch attempt to get one more boot out of it and copy data off before it was lost for good.

If you think writing down some good examples and explaining them takes "an hour", you have never written documentation. Writing good documentation takes forever!
I've experienced the same, it's truly the stuff of nightmares and I'm very very careful around water now. It's scary how quickly we can be overpowered.
A company that provides documentation that is complete and easy to use is a good company.

A company selling a product that requires the customer to search third party documentation for usage is a bad company.

For software tools, an educated customer is going to choose companies that have products that help solve their problems, not ones that add to them (in the form of more work to seek out out-of-band documentation).
The eagles are somewhat less maneuverable- crows are very nimble flyers. I just saw a crow on my walk today land backwards in the wind. They can avoid the claws and beak... Sort of like a monkey harassing a tiger. They'll actually pull feathers off the eagle. Every now and then the eagles pull some crazy moves though to get away, they'll tilt sideways and fall. It's like a move you might see in fighter jet dogfights.

Around here harriers also get harassed by the crows.
