Proxmox is basically Debian plus some VM hypervisor stuff. So your question really is would someone recommend it if they're running Debian, as all that desktop environment stuff would be outside of what proxmox manages.

Debian is super reliable - potentially the most reliable linux distro - but this wouldn't be a turnkey solution or anything (for example PopOS, based on Debian via Ubuntu, focuses more on the out-of-the-box experience). I don't know if Debian can handle your particular needs, but my assumption is that if any distro can Debian can - it just might take some time.

Personally I love proxmox as a main operating system, as I can get everything from broader Debian/Ubuntu/PopOS environments and learn a lot about Linux too. But, it has taken a lot of my time, so I'd only recommend it if you wanted to invest the time.

"PDFs are self contained, and can't be broken by an API going down"

Is directly broken by "PDFs are part of the web, and part of the content can be by reference to a webpage"

If that webpage goes down, that link it broken.

That decentralized bit still needs to conform to broken copyright laws too.

You can't just download a pdf then rehost it on your own without a license to do so

.... There's also a big difference between a city and the modern web. We own the infrastructure in a city, vs rich people own it on the web.

Rather than a city, the web is more like a company town. I don't think that's any different for pdfs either. The distribution is still coming from a web server owned by a company -- the real response is self hosting of your stuff, and self hosting by your friends for their stuff. The file format doesn't make it self hosted
Transpiling is more about broad browser compatibility than anything else. In any event, even if you invented some more efficient browser language, it would likely need a universal browser-compatible compilation target anyway (like web assembly). This isn't particularly a step forwards from TS compilation to JS, and the loss of all common JS libraries would be a huge drag on adoption.
Of course not. On HN, joking is a very serious matter.
I haven’t done an upgrade from 11 to 17, but I did do a few 11 to 14 and there were a lot of issues with the boost versions we used. Those upgrades killed any interest I had in ever using C++ again.
So that sounded rather incredible, so I did some fact checking.

The Oregon Department of Education's February 2021 newsletter had a six sentence blurb about "A Pathway to Equitable Math Instruction". You can read it for yourself here [1], but I think its disingenuous to describe that as having "encouraged teachers to register for training". Oregon state's involvement appears to end there.

You can look at the actual toolkit here: [2]. The connections it makes between white supremacy and math education strike me as strenuous, but the suggestions for removing the purported white supremacy strike me as generally good suggestions for improving math education. The quote about math not being purely objective struck a chord with me, but I wasn't able to find it in the course materials, only in the reporting about it. The complete quote about there not always being right and wrong answers is:

"Upholding the idea that there are always right and wrong answers perpetuate objectivity as well as fear of open conflict. Some math problems may have more than one right answer and some may not have a solution at all, depending on the content and the context. And when the focus is only on getting the right answer, the complexity of the
mathematical concepts and reasoning may be underdeveloped, missing opportunities for deep learning."

which seems much more sensible that the cherry-picked excerpt. Continuing on this point, it says:

"Of course, most math problems have correct answers, but sometimes there can be more than one way to interpret a problem, especially word problems, leading to more than one possible right answer.

"And teaching math isn't just about solving specific problems. It's about helping students understand the deeper mathematical concepts so that they can apply them throughout their lives. Students can arrive at the right answer without grasping the bigger concept; or they can have an “aha” moment when they see why they got an answer wrong. Sometimes a wrong answer sheds more light than a right answer."

I would be surprised if this gets a 3blue1brown episode - this branch of mathematics takes a lengthy time to wrap one's head around. 3blue1brown topics tend to show up in undergraduate math, whereas the Langlands program (and the Fargues-Fontaine curve in particular) would really only be studied by a subset of graduate students studying Number Theory.

> Think for a second, if you want to insert somewhere inside your shiny linked list, how do you find where to insert?

You usually have a pointer to the node where you want to insert.

Many years ago there was specific OCR software (SpotlightPro / RasterDesk) for vectorize scanned technical drawings to CAD formats (with dimension lines, text labels, etc.); now there is Scan2CAD[0]. All them are proprietary software.

Sadly I can't find any open-source vectorizer & OCR for repair scanned technical drawings, and Tesseract has a lot of issues with rotated text labels specific to CAD.[1]

Friend, at a certain point the overhead to administrate these kinds of checks is more costly than just letting people buy tickets to go to conferences. And at this point it isn't corruption in the university, it's in the form of handouts to large corporations.
By a large-scale calculation I have in mind something like this: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2006.09368.pdf, which is in your field of astronomy. It uses about a billion dark-matter elements and was run on the Cobra supercomputer at Max Planck, which has about 137,000 CPU cores. It used the AREPO code, which is a C program that uses MPI. If you know of any calculation in this class using Python I would be interested to hear about it. But generally one doesn’t have one’s team write a proposal for time on a national supercomputing center and then, if it is approved, when your 100-hour slot is finally scheduled, upload a Python script to the cluster. But strange things happen.

Of course they are, and we run into it constantly in computing. You can encode text with images as a bitmap, as vector graphics, as symbolic content that references bitmaps or vectors, as an algorithm that procedurally generates any of the above...

While you can produce identical outputs from the different methods, it's not hair-splitting to say that the authoring process and hence the nature of the medium to shape expression is affected by choosing one. When you opt towards maximizing generality your production cycle can grow without bound because everything is possible by layering different media, even if all of it is unnecessary. That's how you end up with creative projects that take multiple years to decades to accomplish.
academics are largely the only people who will be able to understand the work, but sure.

The fact that it's not out in the open is somewhat complicated. You're perhaps right that it would lead to better outcomes, but it's also important that researchers feel free to speak openly.
China’s cyberattack on Microsoft Exchange servers
Yes, depending on the condition of the house, and how temperamental it is. I was lucky with my last house, in 5 years of ownership only spent $6000, I took care of the lawn on my own. Roof was changed a year before I bought it so never gave me an issue and was under warranty. Water heater was a rental and was taken care by the company I was paying $20/month. After I sold the house, furnace gave up a week before the closing date so I got it fixed for $500. There was a water issue in the basement which cost $5000 to fix, but it still didn't blow the budget.

Just a datapoint, but sometimes $2500/year is a reasonable budget.

The improved error messages are also a neat touch.

The main reason I think this normally isn't done is that it requires downtime to do safely most of the time.

In order to not lose data, you can't have any writes between the time when the backup was taken and the present, or you need code which reconciles additional state and adds it onto the backup before switching over.

Normally, backup restoration is done during a maintenance window where the site is disabled so no writes can happen, and then usually a window of writes are lost anyway (i.e. 'last X hours, since the backup was taken')

For your use-case, do you just have very few writes? Do you lose writes? Do you have some other clever strategy to deal with it?

"Two seconds" is what I learned too. The book here says that you should be at the spot where the previous car was two seconds ago, which is good advice, as it's independent of speed.

You can think of it as "it'll take you one second to react and one to brake to a stop, so you should be two seconds away".

> I'm not convinced a low-trust society is inherently bad.

The term "low-trust society" is generally not used to distinguish societies where people put enough emphasis into seeing what the quality of the data is and how much evidence supports it. Maybe because no one ever heard of such a thing. I do share your lack of conviction that such a society would inherently be a bad thing.

Maybe we in fact agree that a low trust society in the conventional sense -- one characterized by low interpersonal trust -- is less appealing?
Classifying such technology as military weapons would begin to address a number of international and national concerns with for-sale-malware (aka spyware).

The use of such military weapons by civilians (or civilian police) against civilians become more obviously ban-able.

You seem to be indicating the preferred time window for which research to trust. Not too new, not too old. Not the worst algorithm you could choose, and I agree. This is why I stay away from drugs, procedures, and any kind of guidance from the medical profession that is less than 20 years old.

> It is in its canonical form (i.e. as a numbers, not something that represents it), which is what I said.

This isn't a coherent sentence. A real number is a cauchy sequence of rational numbers. There is no one canonical sequence that defines Pi.

> No I don't. I could pick two atoms floating through space somewhere and say "This distance, right now."
> I could also say: "The distance traveled by this particle in a second."

That process of picking out and localizing the atoms (which are not localized to specific points) would entail performing a measurement with a macroscopic apparatus. At that point, the configuration of the apparatus can be encoded.
I would just add that science and the scientific method are designed to be used in good faith. Science doesn't really withstand political manipulation. If you're a researcher interested in learning more about the universe, science provides a framework for questioning and testing ideas, and for using established ideas as a jumping off point for further advances. As soon as there are other motivations than learning, the answers that "science" provides basically become unknowable because the whole process, from what to study to how to interpret and report findings, becomes corrupted.

We need good politicians to negotiate a consensus on how we move forward in light of human desires and modern thinking about cause and effect. Pretending that "science" provides us with a way forward is abusing science for something it is not designed to do nor capable of doing.

Is it really? Most unit tests I've encountered are garbage. They only test for bugs that are incredibly unlikely to happen.

Integration tests and fuzz testing is where it's at. Anyone can add or improve an integration test within an hour and find several bugs that real users would encounter.
I would argue opposite, For a long time JS had this issue where when you iterated on keys in a dictionary you had to ensure you were skipping methods etc via .hasOwnProperty check. Python by making clear distinction between contents and functionality avoids this.

I guess that means you can't generate false and [] either?

So this would be a good example the culture clashes I mentioned, handled badly.

These kind of survey's have terrible sampling biases. One of those is always going to be ability level, with more beginner, early career, or hobbyist folks interested in doing it.

Case in point: I'm a hobby C++ hacker, and I read this. I'm a long time pro Python hacker and would not have opened something similar for Python! I'm like "the last thing I need to read about in my leisure time is what other people are doing with Python, that's WORK." haha.
C++ not having a "default" unit testing framework that pretty much ships with all the IDEs hurts it a lot - the other factor is changing culture, I think. Even fifteen years ago unit tests were a pretty alien thing to most folks and a lot of software in C++ has a very long lifespan. It's really hard to build momentum in an organization to actually set aside the time to write unit test coverage over existing code.
Some teenagers have to go to pretty absurd lengths to escape the "structure" that has been imposed upon them. I'm sure that's where some of the "sociopathy" comes from. In my experience, though, adults are much less cooperative or agreeable in just about every scenario when compared to youngsters when it comes to not getting their way.
These calculators don't reflect the reality/absurdity of the current economy. Anecdotal, but I bought a house in eastern California last year for $600k, now Zillow says it's worth $835k. Also, I'll unlikely ever be able to afford a house in the Bay Area, even though I make $220k/year at a company there. Still don't know what I'll do if my employer makes us return to the SF office in a few months. Relatedly, a ~70 year old woman bagged my groceries today and I doubt she's doing it for fun. Seems the accelerating wealth inequality is destroying our society/communities if it hasn't already.

Switch "AAA" titles on cartridge weigh in about 10-15GB, and a LOT of the indie games(which apparently sell the best on Switch in a lot of cases, TMYK) are far smaller.

The switch internal storage is only moderately faster than loading off of cartridge or micro SD, which are both very close in read speed; ~100MB/s.

Taken holistically the Switch storage limitations mean games on the platform are basically targeting the micro SD specs.

The Steam deck's primary value proposition is playing your existing Steam(PC) library on a handheld. Games on PC have been targeting SSD speeds for a long time now. People will be used to SATA SSD or m.2 NVMe speeds. Customers buying the base model are NOT going to have a great experience with the terrible eMMC storage. Customers trying to run modern games off 120-160MB/s micro SD are NOT going to have a great experience either. Selling a PC gaming machine in 2021 with 2008 storage speeds is a recipe for disappointment.
In the Rust code, where is the Result type they're using defined? I assume that the parameterless `Result` return types are intended to be `Result<()>`, and I suppose it might be possible to achieve this with default generics, but I've never seen that used before, so it sticks out as a bit odd to me.
That's a different issue - IRS clamped down on gift cards and non-cash compensation that used to be considered de minimis. Now most employers gross up and report any gift card type gift over ~$5.
