Are you sure that US Dollar or Gold or bread have some intrinsic value? Day to day they do have some stable price but on a longer time scale that changes a lot.

Let's take EURUSD for example - both currencies are loosing purchasing power but EUSUSD ranges from 0,9 to 1,6 within last 50 years.

In some sci-fi scenario US Dollar could also go to zero if for example USA looses major war with China as is left with crushing debt. This is a possibility. What would be the value of Bitcoin then?
Interestingly, there's a conversion/variant of the Beechcraft Queen Air (the predecessor to the King Air) called the Excalibur.
Design industrial landscapes as I'm good at it, the only task I've found makes life make sense, allows me to work (mostly) alone. I need to make $ to live, and repairing Earth seems a constructive lifeway.

Currently learning to scale landscape architecture to regional, transbounday and planet scales.

If I didn't need money? I'd still do what I'm doing now just more larger difficult sites, or become a full-time climate activist (both are very similar to me).
I think the orthodox answer is that there's a lot of incentive for making the economy look like it's doing better than it is.
If you are not using classes, you are not using OO at all, by definition.

That does necessarily not mean you are programming badly, although you might be. But restricting yourself to STL and smart pointers does very strongly resemble Java Disease. You might as well switch to Java.

This is such a common fallacy. C exposes lower-level memory management, but to then say "oh now you have pointers you can implement anything" is a push.

If you need to implement virtual tables and function pointers, you'd use C++ - there's no need to reinvent the wheel.

Besides software engineering is about focusing on the intrinsic complexity, and using languages and tools to mitigate the incidental complexity.
It’s clearly possible for a particular currency to go to go to zero with unlimited money printing as demonstrated in history - Germany, Serbia, Zimbabwe etc.
But it’s almost certain that not ALL countries would be that stupid to print infinite new money eg Switzerland.
Bitcoin will probably go to zero, when we have the next major crisis, such as when China invades Taiwan or before when the Tether Ponzi scheme inevitably implodes.
And it has contributed to the majority of the knowledge I've gained from its published documents than I could have ever afforded.

Makes me realise I never donated. They have the pudic courtesy to never even prompt for support.
If btc goes to zero a lot of stuff may have to happen, why do you think it would be so attractive to you then? Think of it this way: Are you rushing to buy forks that are dropping to zero now?
Nah, ideas becomes simplified and refined overtime. E.g. quantum mechanics was the bleeding edge of physics at one time and now it’s taught to undergraduates. Some university even have classes in string theory for undergrads (not that this is a good idea).

One thing I've recently discovered is this website: connectedpapers.com/

It builds a graph of referenced papers and makes it easier to narrow down which one are important/foundational for further research

I don't think a glossary would help. What you need to find is a "review paper". These act as a primer to the field for new researchers. They're usually well written, with less jargon and have tons of references for you to dig into. That said, I don't have a good method for finding them.. I just stumble across them haphazardly..
openwrt, however nice, does not support as many systems as dd-wrt and is still not an option for me because of that.
Giving a Console Controller Mouse-Like Precision Aim
We have a local field with an 11P-7A curfew (landing/takeoff surcharge technically).

I’m not sure it does much to keep the airport quiet as I’ve been in a holding orbit of three low-altitude airplanes from 6:45 AM to 7:00 with all of us waiting to avoid the curfew fee.

So, instead of slipping relatively quietly into the field from a random route to a straight-in, neighbors got to hear me orbit for three rectangular patterns over the same ground points plus two other airplanes doing the same low-altitude holding. If I were a neighbor, I’d much rather the simple straight-in to be encouraged.

The sports teams all just pay the fee; I never had to break the 11PM side while I was based there, but I would have as well. (It was less than an hour’s worth of gas, so it wouldn’t make sense to divert and reposition later.) I suspect the curfew makes people feel good while making the actual experience worse.
I'm sorry, what? In many, possibly most jurisdictions, and certainly in the United States, there is nothing in the law that specifically stops you from having made a perfectly legal, legitimate fortune by holding bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies and then cashing them out into fiat through the same formal banks that any other investor uses with no worries about dodging KYC as long as they followed reporting requirements.

Unless they're actively evading taxes or laundering money, cryptocurrency holders on HN or elsewhere can interact with many parts of the financial system without any warzone traumas at all. You're blatantly misrepresenting the nature of how it's possible to make money with Bitcoin et al. The majority of it is a legal market and its completely legally possible to hold, gain, sell and cash out successfully.
Fundamentally, no. It's all about controlling the field effect more precisely now. See:

I’m pretty sure they have lots and lots of mitigation and security contexts flowing along cache data to make sure one context doesn’t expose information about to others.
You're strangely obsessed with your mistaken belief that RMS loves trees, based on never having met him, and your Dendrophobia Deniel conspiracy theory that I and all the women I've quoted and my friend Devon are liars, based on never having met any of us or even RMS himself.

Devon just created an account and replied above. It turns out I was mistaken about the particular tree: it was actually the tree around the corner of the house that was outside the bedroom window. But Devon confirms that people of all genders at the AI/LCS lab hung ferns in their offices to keep RMS away.

You probably want to interrogate and insult him directly if you still believe he's a "lying" "creepy" "spoiled brat" (although I have no idea how you so "surely" inferred those specific labels from the photographs -- did you use Facebook's computer vision AI?), at the risk of being banned from HN for antisocial behavior, but I suggest you remain civil, since you're the one who's hypocritically defending RMS's behavior while lecturing other people about civility while incorrectly labeling and insulting them and their friends, based on your imagination and no evidence or first hand experience whatsoever.

https://www.businessinsider.com/facebook-apologizes-artifici...

And yes, RMS did have many groupies in 1986 and long before, and he was quite well known even in the 70's, in certain circles. He started working at the MIT AI Lab in 1971, with Gerald Sussman in 1975, and he and Sussman published an early widely cited paper on AI truth maintenance and dependency-directed backtracking in 1977. It was openly known by many people on the ARPANET that his password was "rms", and he welcomed people to log in and use his account. And the ARPANET was a very small tightly knit circle, were everybody knew each other, back in the days of NCP, when host numbers were only 8 bits, so there could be no more than 256 hosts, and homosocketuality was prohibited, before "Flag Day" in 1983 when they switched to TCP/IP with its 32 bit addresses.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_Control_Program

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14178653

So it's supremely ironic, ignorant, and insulting that you would mistakenly short measure the temporal extent of RMS's fame by the young age of "Linux", instead of saying "Gnu/Linux". Obviously you have never met him personally and triggered him by saying "Linux" instead of "Gnu/Linux" in his presence, and that shows you know very little about the history of FSF or the personality of RMS. He'd probably be furious with you for what you said about his fame following the success of the first "Linux".

You're speaking about the current outbreaks - we don't yet know if we will / could eradicate it this time around. Certainly previously we've gotten down to zero, across every state, when there was more political will to do so. Currently the political will isn't there - had NSW implemented the same measures we have now, back when the first outbreaks were being detected, we'd have been sorted a month ago.

Take your pick from vanilla incompetence, hubris, insouciance, or any of the various commercial or political intrigues to explain this torpid initial response that has brought us to where we are.

> NZ too are in the middle of another outbreak and using severe lockdowns isn't making it go away.

I see they've had 25 new cases today. Is this 'out of control'? It feels a long way from 'everyone is going to have to get COVID, there's no other way'.

As to your last question, yes, it's quite palatable for me that anyone who leaves the country and returns would submit to a test on arrival, quarantine at home for 2 weeks with subsequent tests at 7 and 14d.
I am running a dual-boot system with BTRFS on the linux side and WinBTRFS[1] to make the partitions readable from the Windows side. This works quite well (which means I never had any issue with it).

South Africa being a shithole does not excuse Apartheid.

In fact I see more continuity than change, there is still a wealthy elite running the country the only difference is that now some of them are black.
How does dd-wrt pull it off, then?
No, it isn't. Virtue signalling victim-blaming.

Making cement, smelting iron and making steel, transport. Extracting, refining, and distributing fossil fuels.

All of these things are much bigger in terms of emissions.

Yes, food production is a middle-league emitter (about 4% of fossil fuel energy consumption), but waste is a relatively small part of that.
What exactly does a mainframe mean today? I’ve logged onto multi user computer systems via a thin client before, but I guess the hardware I was connecting to was probably commodity so not a mainframe? Do these things run Windows/Linux or is this some super proprietary OS2 descendent or what?
If bitcoin went to zero it would imply some exploit in bitcoin allowing creation of an unlimited number of coins. If this happened, then someone would hard fork the chain before the exploit and fix the issue and anybody who had not transacted since the exploit would keep their coins, albeit at diminished (but not zero) value.
BO was a must-have tool for crackers and to have fun with friends and colleagues. I had my tiny share of those days. In late 1999, I was part of a 50-60 odd team company in one of my very early jobs. I was in the non-internet department while learning to write ASP, JavaScript, and ActionScript on the side. So, our team had access to the Internet for about an hour each day.

I was friendly with the Admins or those people who have access to the Internet and LAN thing. I helped them out quite a bit. Well, I dropped in BO, and the only thing I did was turn on the Internet for our team.

I also found out that the boss goes around poking other people's computers across the shared network, and his first look was the "temp" directory. I remember masking or creating shortcuts for all standard windows directory names to go to a pre-defined directory with a set of pre-defined contents.

Presumably a lot worse than bitcoin to zero. And crypto fans get to advertise infinite percentage growth even if its value is a few pennies of todays dollars. But at least you can burn todays paper dollars. Cannot do that to bitcoin.
Seems like "data scientist" is now code for "junior Python developer".

I need a person who actually knows statistics, how to integrate, what Bayes' theorem means in practice, the difference between a confidence and a credible interval, etc.

What would this person be called in 2021? (I understand that searching for "data scientist" candidates would be a waste of my time.)
Nominally, publishers proof read, copyedit, format and publicise my articles after they've been through peer review.

Occasionally the editors -- inevitably based in Chennai -- spot a typo that the reviewers missed. Sometimes they cock things up massively, especially equations -- I had a big argument about a tickz-based scheme once. The formatting is done automatically and for me as a latex author I really think we could do that very easily. Colleagues who use word see the text transfer to something better as a major value add. The publicity the journal adds is a strong function of how "good" it is. Science and Nature effectively exist because they are Science and Nature.
Crypto is a solution looking for a problem.
yes. exactly. i guess xkcd must have already done something on this given the depth of knowledge that guy has on the internet.

- It sucks at recommending books. You may stumble upon some book in the home feed, but its recommendation is as good as if it didn't exist.

- Lists suck. For example, it never anticipates even something as simple as abandoning a book (though you can create that).

- There's like a whole industry of faking ratings and nobody cares about it enough to do anything about it.

- It's owned by Amazon, but Amazon basically didn't touch it since the acquisition almost a decade ago.

Well, they did so recently to kill the API access, which was its #1 selling point to me. I liked using it by not visiting their ugly design ever, but that's not a possibility anymore.

The cost and difficulty of this task is monumental and the rewards are so small. These chips literally cost cents and outside of global disasters, they are quite easy to buy in the millions. And it isn't just micro controllers that are out of stock basic passive components are missing as well. It would cost an absolute fortune to strip all of these parts off older machines. No one wants to pay $6000 for a washing machine made of scrap parts which may fail and are long since obsolete so they can no longer be reordered.
They are usually sold with unlicensed capacity you can immediately enable (instead of waiting for the new servers to arrive). IIRC that capacity can be enabled during boot to make the startup faster.
Thanks, will read it.

On the other note, please refrain from such lame attempts at "guilty by association" tactic. No need to drag your local boogie man into international discussion.
You are putting a lot of trust in mailgun, sendgrid and Amazon. Beside, when integrity and confidentiality is critical, the solution is crypto signature and encryption. Not the trust in supposedly reputable 3rd parties.

Why would it have value in relation to some of those and not others? Sure, state action could make it hard to exchange bitcoins for other currencies, but we could still infer a $ value by looking at the btc and $ prices of goods they can both buy. (And yeah there can be complications and imperfections in that process, but not enough to make the statements 'bitcoin does/doesn't have 0 value' particularly vague or ambiguous.)
Keep in mind you will not find faster single thread performance anywhere else in the computing world. A free VM on the LinuxONE Community cloud puts many developer laptops to shame.

The article answers this in the first few paragraphs. Mainframes are extremely reliable and have high I/O bandwidth (and relatively poor CPU performance). You can run Linux on them - Red Hat ship and support RHEL for s390x - but most of the time they run z/OS along with z/VM. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z/OS
An informative comic would be great. I have unsuccessfully tried to create a video game mechanic (ludonarrative) that demonstrates how data aggregation can be exploited. Giving people a little bit of personal experience on the other side trying to [ab]use data could be a very effective teaching tool. I suspect most people (including, as you mentioned, most technical people!) have never really thought about how personal data might be used as a weapon.

The amazing game "Papers, Please" demonstrated that a game based around an educational ludonarrative is not only possible, but can also be be relatively popular. Unfortunately, just like drawing, video game design is difficult.

I feel like this is a conflation of two very different ways to use frameworks.

If you write semantic classes and use @apply in tailwind or variables in pollen, it boils down to pretty much the same thing.

If you use tailwind utility classes in html directly you'll have what you describe, but you can still run the cleanup scripts and be done with it.

The strength of either framework imho stems mostly from having a config and a subset of options, a design system, contrary to just writing vanilla css. But any mess of unused classes is always yours to keep or clean.
I got burnt out when I was working a job where I was unappreciated, with some even being actively hostile towards me.

My only solution was to switch to working on something that was either worthwhile to me or to someone else

I think the lack of face-to-face does contribute to burnout for some. The online kudos and gifts sent by corporate only go so far. There's still something different when your work is appreciated in person.

You're taking the top 0.1% of people your age that everything went right for and comparing yourself to them.

Again, it doesn't make sense to compare net worth when you're young. Even if they have more money right now, if you are compounding better you will win in the long term.

Would it be less wrong and less confusing to just put South at the top, and make sure there's a prominent compass rose?

For prominent shapes like your country or state, or a map you might hang on the wall, we're very used to seeing them with North at the top. But when using a map for navigation (either a paper one or an electronic device) it's quite common to have other orientations.
I find this approach incredibly useful if any parts of your data don't have a uniform schema.

The one thing you need to look out for is developers putting stuff into JSON that belongs into proper columns. The Postgres JSON support is very powerful, but plain old relational queries are faster and often much easier to write.
