You did, thank you for the discussion! I actually have a first edition of Keisler's "Elementary Calculus," well-worn I assure you; throughout my mathematics degree, I sought various other methods of approaching the curricula. I'm very much a fan of Robinson's program of infinitesimals; occasionally, I'm treated to even more rarefied notions of these beloved ghosts of departed quantities.

Here's one I find particularly fun, wherein you disregard law of excluded middle to use nilpotents!

I'm currently trying to digest "Geometric Algebra: An Object-Oriented Approach." It is a real pleasure to see you mention some of my pet favorites; thank you, thank you, a hundred times over friend! You've put a song in my heart today.

EDIT: I was so wrapped up in having met a fellow traveler that I forgot to leave an "in," should you wish to continue this thread.

I also find it a tragedy that my foray into the constructivist and sundry corners of math was relegated to self-study. Having approached a few professors on this topic, the general consensus seems to be "why waste your time?"

To what do you think the intuitive power of these equivalent-but-alternative foundations is owed? Personally, I think it has something of the basis that colors the division of the analytically- vs algebraically-minded; yet even the cause of this is a mystery!

(However, let me be careful here: I don't wish to give the impression of undue competence. I'm broadly-read, but woefully underskilled.)
If it's a subject that can be delivered by textbook, then I'll build mindmaps using FreePlane:

https://www.freeplane.org/wiki/index.php/Home

The way I author the mindmaps is to form trunks of major subjects which then distil down to the details. I'll add questions to myself into the subtrees.

When it comes to revision, I'll "contract" the entire map (there's a button in FreePlane to do this), then I'll take each branch in turn and try and answer (on a piece of paper) the questions I've left for myself. As you progress through the mindmap, you are expanding all the branches out.

This works for me for 2 reasons:
- reinforcement learning through the questions I've left myself
- remembering places / locations is something the human mind is very good at, and fits well with the current theory of the mind (reference frames, etc).
This injuction only applies to Apple, as it says pretty clearly in the decision. That prohibition does benefit all developers using the App Store, not just Epic.

There is a good chance that this precedent will encourage other lawsuits that will lead to more injuctions, such as one that applies to Steam.
A gradual transition from human actors as middlemen (who need regulation because they have self-interest) to disinterested algorithms which are self-regulating.

Yes.

The main problems are around taking elements of a culture without providing proper attribution or butchering them.

Translated to FOSS, it's the equivalent of reusing somebody's software without attributing authorship (even if the license requires it).

Or a large company making a backdoored fork of Firefox called "FireFox" and misleading users into blaming Mozilla for it.

It gets worse when the copycat overshadows the original.

Besides, I met plenty of people, both from India and not, complaining about the butchering of Yoga.
Standardization is the bedrock of so much innovation, especially in computing. We standardize so much, why not standardize web clients?

If you can argue why a certain firefox approach is inheirently better and not even possible in the chromium ecosystem that is compelling but I have yet to hear of such an argument. For my part it seems like firefox just keeps getting more and more behind.

Read something and apply it as quickly as possible. Whether that's doing a problem set, working on a project, solving a real-world problem, making a decision, teaching someone else, or just advancing to the next section in your reference. Keep the feedback loop as short as possible.

Surveying the whole landscape by asking yourself: why this, not that? This is the single most powerful technique I know to reach deep understanding, but is very demanding to apply.

Pretty sure significant targets - larger cities and significant facilities - would get a barrage instead of a single weapon.

Multiple relatively small warheads spread across an area are far more damaging than a single super-nuke, which is why Tsar Bombas fell out of fashion.

At one point it was rumoured there were hundreds of warheads aimed at Moscow. Even Dick Cheney was shocked when he found out. It's a reasonable guess Washington and London would have had the same treatment.

I'm not sure anyone even knows what that would do to an area, except possibly turn it into a pool of radioactive lava.
Considering they're usually attached to 'smart' devices, curious what extra features it could have...
This is somewhat surprising to me. I thought Epic had a reasonable chance of getting an eventual win on some points, or in getting enough attention that regulators stepped in. I also thought Apple had a pretty decent chance of winning.

But I did not think that Epic had a particularly strong chance of getting an injunction like this.

I hope that the takeaway people take from this is "it's tricky to guess what a judge will do during a contentious case", and not, "the judge was always obviously going to issue this injunction." I still personally think knowing what I know now, if I went back to the start of this case I still wouldn't be able to confidently predict this injunction.

But maybe other people are better at reading court signals than I am.
The odds of infection are equally low. MULTIPLE both to get the actual odds of dying from it.

Plus then COMPARE that to other probabilities of death such as car accidents, medical mistakes, etc. which are FAR HIGHER.

Great news for mobile developers (and for Stripe). Everyone doing in-app purchases has a huge incentive to quickly find some drop-in replacement that charges 3% instead of 30%.

I would be surprised if Apple ends up keeping the fee at 30%. If this injunction holds up, I think they will drop it within the year.
Corporate America should pay more attention. Growing revolt among the proletariat over lockdown and arbitrary technocracy rules. Vaccine mandates will push this even more. Its crazy to think the White House got stormed less than a year ago.
Who knows how many dirty secrets The SolarWinds hack has soaked up, and what will be revealed down the line.
> especially if you live in a city

yes, for multiple reasons:

- cities are clear targets for nuking

- even if partially nuked, a city would be unsustainable once its roads and pathways are destroyed. Cities live by concentrating massive amounts of food and resources from outside cities, once the chain is broken a city falls.
Boroscopes require you to have physical access and in some cases drill the hole.

This can probably be developed to be a remote sensing solution with quite a bit of range and with a non visible it won’t be noticeable to adversaries.

This single laser technique also likely has implications for other NLOS imaging situations too for example imaging a force behind cover by illuminating an area within line of sight of both you and the target.
And business cannot operate at a loss, so increased expenses will be passed on to customers. Yay.... right?

The hard way.

Actually a few processes that are combined depending on the domain.

(1) Reading. At this I am relentless. I used to read technical documentation (say the manual for the Spring framework or maven) on a tablet while doing cardio at the gym.

If at all possible I like to know the official documentation for whatever toolset I am using like the back of my hand. I learn how to find answers quickly in, say, the Python manual, and avoid wasting time with Google, Stack Overflow, Spam Blogs and other places you find wrong answers.

In some cases there is no official documentation, it is not good, or it is a book you buy. (Buy Hickey's book on Clojure!)

Lately I hurt my leg and had more time to read, I so read enough books about love that I had to take a break and read trashy SF instead. This project has had the structure "Read book A", "Scan the references in Book A, get references (from 5-80%) from the library, look at the areas in the stack close to the references, read those, repeat." This project is unusual because it has a high fraction of fiction mixed in with the non-fiction.

(2) Doing. Here it is a matter of having a gradient of tasks. I hate to break it to you but spaced repetition, flashcards, etc. are useless when it comes to math. Instead you solve problems.

About a year ago I challenged myself to print something on an inkjet printer every day to keep it from drying out. I had no idea how that this would turn out, the kind of problems that I would run into (I felt I hit a "crisis" of some kind every two months), that I was developing for the metaverse before people started talking about the metaverse, or that with 15 cents of materials I could make somebody spend $1500 (not by causing property damage!)

For a while I made prints of anime characters and then art reproductions, now my main activity is developing a repeatable workflow for photos I take myself. Personally I find it a "hard problem" that there is "something missing" in the prints I make from my camera but I realized I couldn't fix this problem one print at a time but it was something I'd get after doing a long series of them.

The detailed, loving description of the baroque boot process takes me back to my days, shortly after that period, of cracking and making "boot only" floppies that either wouldn't show files if read normally, or showed different files; while having something else happen if you booted from it.

Yeah, agree. I think this would kill the App Store model. It's surprising that the stock only dipped by 2%. What am I missing?
This would be very good news if it sticks!

But since Apple is known to refuse store submissions for opaque reasons, what would stop them from retaliating against apps that provide links to external payment processors with vague unrelated reasons? I would not put that past them.

Also, I hope the anti-monopoly part gets picked up at the federal level; no one can deny Apple & Google are de-facto duopoly.
The solution is simple: ship with a basic open source browser, and during the intitial setup procedure, the wizard should ask users if they want to import data from an existing browser they currently use, or use that same browser, and to select it.

This lack of understanding onboarding and setup UX is the great differentiator from Windows and macOS for most consumers.

I don't think it's social lines, socioeconomic lines. Following Karen Armstrong's political philosophy, all politics not local are inherently religious/ideals driven.
To expand on 1, I think it's been important for me to have some anchor points along the way. Some things I can "accomplish" however small they may be that, if nothing else, help me feel like I'm making progress I won't lose, even if full understanding takes much longer. Otherwise, backsliding in interest can mean the next time I get interested, I'm faced with the prospect of starting over from scratch, which can sometimes mean I just move on to something else.
It was never about the drugs.

The change the law increased the amount the police had to plant on someone to lock them away in a federal penitentiary, and they had not expected it to show up so strongly in the data. Back when the minimum was 50g they could hide in the noise but at 280g it stands out.

In a well functioning society this would trigger investigations of all of the cases where the suspect was charged with carrying just over the limit on suspicious of police misconduct, but the police don't want that so it's not going to happen.
If you want to work in the DoD supply chain after 2024 then you'll have to implement NIST 800-171 and some level of CMMC. Its no longer a self-attestation and requires a 3rd party audit and certification. Its not trivial.

If R<1 the number of infected people continually decreases until there are no cases. This is also why it's important for the US to provide other countries with vaccines.
Ask HN: How can one determine which PostgreSQL extensions play nice together?
I'm new to Postgres, and I've found many extensions that seem great, but how can I be sure that if I install all of them, that they'll nicely coexist? Here are a couple extensions that caught my attention:

- pg_auto_failover

- TimescaleDB

- pg_squeeze

- pg_stat_monitor

- zombodb

Thanks!
This is a big deal.

I wonder how Apple will respond to dealing with the bandwidth costs of free apps with large bandwidth requirements.

Hopefully they just get rid of free apps, and require customers to pay upfront so that they don’t have to deal with as many advertisements.
Well, I'm a protestant so there might be a different belief system in the Catholic church. "Grace by faith alone", which is the basis of what I commented above is a reformation doctrine and is mostly a protestant thing (some Catholics I have met believe it, but officially not the Roman Catholic Church), and penitence is entirely a Catholic thing, and was a primary cause of the reformation.

There are actually a LOT of different belief systems within Christianity and the related cults surrounding it, so you can't entirely sum them up by saying "Christianity". How I would respond to anyone stating that suffering is required to pay for sins is that it is un-Biblical and they've warped the message of Jesus, and are adding to/complicating the gospel.

This is possible in the Catholic church because edicts of the Pope and Councils have had equal (or at least near equal, I'm not a Catholic historian or theologian) weight with scripture, which of course have no weight at all to Protestantism as the Pope is just another person. Mother Theresa and penitents have such a drastically different belief system, that while I would not go so far as to call them non-Christian as I think only God alone determines that, I would say that their teachings are not the same religion as mine. Saints again are a purely Catholic thing, so to me and other protestants, Mother Theresa is just another person, and "Saint" is a worthless designation from the Catholic Church. In addition, individual adherents of what is classified as "Christian" can teach and believe (or fail in their belief) of the core doctrines and cease to become what I would consider Christian, despite doing things in the name of Christ. The church during the time of Paul's letters and Acts were dealing with the same thing, people using the name of Christ who were not what Luke or Paul considered Christians.

It sounds like a no-true-Scottsman argument, and perhaps it is, but the argument that I'm making is that you are lumping billions of people together, when #1 they don't lump themselves together (Catholics have considered protestants and the reformers heretics as well), and #2 they believe and practice drastically different things. You will likely hear Protestants hedge when asked if Roman Catholics are Christian, and the reason is because on an individual basis, there are Christians within the Roman Catholic church. But what they teach is not what we consider the Christian gospel.
What's the penalty for Apple just ignoring this ruling, if any?
Hopefully this will eventually lead to a day where users once again have full control over their devices. Android is a bit better, even if alternate app stores don't have the same system privileges as Google Play, but Apple devices are wholly authoritarian in what you can run on a device you supposedly own.
I loved DESQview. Amazing app, and the power when paired with QUEMM was incredible. Abslutely increased my productivity dramatically.
we can start by repealing laws that give corporate entities immunity when data is leaked. Make them liable for lawsuits with set minimum damage amounts for exposed data, and one would be able to watch the money flow into better tech security on a society-wide scale.
The injunction clearly states Apple is anti-competitive, but not a monopoly.
Firstly, the device was apparently made to be adjusted. A single set of settings is not comfortable for all users, and the manufacturer recognized this.

Secondly, that's the wrong question entirely. People have a right to decide their own medical treatment (or refuse it entirely), and that right must not be circumvented with legal or technical means.
Projects and excessive notes. Books suck imo because they fall in two camps: not project oriented and just give away the answers or only look at things from an educational perspective, or written by some random schmuck who thinks their workflow is great and you should adopt it too.

Every book would be better if they wrote how to do stuff as if I was a moron and didn't know where step 1 was. While it's kind of annoying for people who've done it for a while, it's great because it covers EVERYTHING. Even that one little tid bit you are so used to that you forgot it exists.

Videos suck often because they are like 30 minute videos when they can just edit out the whole process of them typing and stuff. I want to see you get from point A to point B, but explain what is happening in between. Not see you type out the stuff. Just a waste of time. Not to mention reading off power points.
It's still a choice!

If they fire you, that's a better option if you don't believe the vaccines are safe (they have NOT been fully tested - you are a guinea pig in the safety trials if you got the jab), the vaccines have NOT been approved (the lie of the claim otherwise is that no currently available vaccine has been approved - they are all still in EUA - they are still experimental while the "approved" Pfizer vaccine has never been made yet, has never been tested either and is NOT available to anyone because it's never been made yet).

India's first weapon test was in 1974 with Smiling Buddha. The sanctions occured in 1998, after the cold war, and India had already developed enough weaponry to be a "no first use" country with triad capabilities (air, land, and sea). All that to say, they didn't depend on the US for knowledge like that.
The pros and cons of WordPress after using it for 6 months
What are the pros and cons of WordPress in comparison with other modern frameworks. My opinion after using it for 6 months
Congrats, this is one of the best landing pages I've seen this year. It looks really nice, and I love the idea of a headless ecommerce platform, especially one that comes with a nice backend GUI for managing inventory, etc.

I took a quick look through the documentation as well, and was pleasantly surprised by the maturity of the features that it has. This provides pretty much all of the basics I think one would need to manage a medium sized store. One area I do think could be improved perhaps is in the internationalization; it seems to me that every product has a single string to be the description, a single string to be the title, etc. with no easy way to localize the text across different regions.

I also am curious about the pricing; the landing page mentions that you can get started for free, and "start building for free", but is there some component that costs money down the road? I don't see any pricing page on the website so for now I'm assuming it's 100% open source.

It took over a year for this ruling to come out. Also, this was a bench trial as opposed to a jury trial, which also makes it faster.

Of course, what really makes court cases take very long is when they get appealed to hell and back -- see Google v Oracle for an example of such a case.

(And this is a final order, so it can get appealed).
That's why dapps on Ethereum and the likes are and will be way better than any alternative.
But the people for whom it would lower premiums would hand over the data, which results in the same thing. A health insurance company could offer me a $50 discount for a monthly blood test showing my sugar/cholesterol, and I would do it. Why should I pay for someone else’s cheese/alcohol/butter/sugar/bacon consumption.

I assume the reason it is not currently implemented yet is because the cost of monthly blood tests is too high relative to the cost reduction. I do get $200 if I do it annually though, so it seems like it is at least worth it on a yearly basis.
