Are you not familiar with the concept of people getting fired for stuff they do outside of work? How on earth, with at-will employment, could this be unenforceable?

And no they’re not comparable, that was the point of my post. One is enforcing a particular political belief on your employees, the other is a routine public health measure, similar to other vaccine requirements I’ve been subjected to.

There are definitely people in China that understand western culture and know how to do imperceptible propaganda. China is a huge country with long and deep ties to the west. It's probably intentional that they put out propaganda that seems naive. It diverts from more subtle programs. Look at TikTok. Does that strike you as not good at manipulating western audiences? My experience with China is that a large majority of people are simple and naive, but there is an elite core that is beyond most of the rest of the world in skills and knowledge, as you allude to.

They're useful when trying to grok other blog posts or discussions that talk about them (often in service to some further concept that you have no hope of understanding without knowing that first layer of terminology)

> My brain had been getting stuck on this random terminology and this just unclogged it

Exactly! What I'm requesting is that the FP community at large gets more comfortable with the idea of providing those "X is roughly just Y" comparisons for newcomers, so they don't get stuck on all the random terminology and can be "unclogged".

Mmm, this isn't right. The stronger magnetic field reduces turbulence, it's the gradient of the pressure that generates turbulence. As best as anyone can tell, SPARC should be able to get Q~10 without any miracles involved -- the engineering rules of thumb and the advanced simulations all say the same.

I agree with you, but from what I’ve read in Mark Singleton’s research Surya Namaskar actually only appeared in the early 20th century and when it was advertised at Mysore palace where Krishnamacharya was teaching, it was as a separate class from “yoga”. That’s not to say you can’t practice it as a moving meditation, but it definitely is part of the modern movement of asana practice.
> I'm not exactly sure how all of that works

Brakes on heavy vehicles like semis are set up so that a heavy spring closes the brakes with maximum force unless the air system is pressurized to prevent that from happening.

That way if the system fails, the driver finds out about it like this guy did (i.e. the truck failing to move) rather than his brakes failing and causing a crash.

How about only being prosecuted for DUI if you were actually under the influence, and not because a passenger had a bottle of beer in their hand?

How about being able to actually retire in old age and not having to work at Waffle House and Walmart with 80?

How about yelling at some asshole in the parking lot without being legally shot dead because of stand-your-ground?

How about the freedom to study at a college of your choosing, without admission scandals and bribery, and without ruining your future with 6 digit debt?

How about freedom from religion, and still being electable for high office as atheist?

How about never having to worry whether you are in a good enough area of town to just drive through?

How about freely choosing your health insurance rather than being forced to pick one of the two your employer has contracts with?

How about freely choosing internet / power / gas, with the dramatic drops in price that go along with competition in a free market?

It’s good to make HN users dig for information. HN is designed to gratify intellectual curiosity; it’s the same reason TL;DRs are tolerated but discouraged. Dan has written about this many times over many years — I imagine he might drop by with a few persuasive references.

You’re right, by the way. It would be good if HN was designed solely for growth. It might even have been good in this one case, too. But it’s designed to spark curiosity, which is a much more delicate thing. Most long titles are long because they’re noisy. They don’t usually add precision.

There’s definitely a difference between the people who are more interested in the results of programming vs. the people who are really interested in the craft of programming as a process. They both end up having to think about product questions, but they tend to find their way into different parts of the company: the product-focused engineers are always working on splashy new features while the craft-focused are generally behind the scenes trying to figure out a way to make the DX of the codebase better (and sometimes even being called “architecture astronauts” as a result).

Given that your links are not cross cultural comparisons, your response doesn’t seem to be in good faith.

It looks like you just used my comment as a chance to post some anti-US policing links that aren’t actually relevant to what I said.

Bear in mind that racism and racist policing are present in Europe, and Asia too.

I assume you have no experience of police in different countries yourself.
Well, if civilization was destroyed by spraying a fine mist of sea water into the air from the back of a boat, I guess I would feel pretty bad. But, that seems highly unlikely, and certainly less likely than that we'll destroy ourselves by continuing to do absolutely nothing to stop the climate from collapsing.
> That's true, but if it ends there, then it's not a vital matter of self-defense for us. Honestly, not even that important in terms of balance of power provided we get that TSMC plant up in Arizona first.

That's not a great look, and will probably eventually end with our allies either defeated or heading for the exits.

Being a reliable ally seems like it'd be pretty important to self-defense. China has a pretty big population, it's unified, and may have the patience to chip away at things and outlast us.

> What it IS, is a grievous insult to our insistence on being the last word in international affairs.

I suppose it's always an option to withdraw and leave our allies become tributaries of the new empire. Maybe we can eventually become one ourselves and our grandkids can gave peace under the emperor.

It's not out of the question for research-level math to be formalized in proof assistants. Most notably, a landmark paper by Peter Scholze (a Fields medalist) was, at his request, formalized in Lean. Or at least, the important part was formalized in about 6 months. See [1] for the post where Scholze asks for help in formalizing the proof and explains why he thinks it's important - in this case it was a very gnarly proof of a theorem that could hopefully be used as a black box by other mathematicians. See [2] for Scholze's thoughts after the project succeeded, 6 months later.

Edit 2: I'm sorry for getting a little inflammatory with my original comment. I have a headache today, and one of my biggest frustrations is needlessly poor communication of concepts, especially if it's willful, and especially if it wastes the potential of capable people who could otherwise be given understanding.

With that said I may have gone on a bit of a rant here and made some generalizations, and I don't feel good about that aspect, so I apologize.
I didn't read the NY Times articles since it's paywalled.

But your translation is inaccurate. it would be more something like:

"They were decided to occupy France like an enemy territory"

It was not the French who described the liberating force as an enemy, but that the liberating for was acting like an occupying force and didn’t see the French as allied but as enemy.

A special pleading argument?

How can you say I didn't justify a distinction when you compared her to "ordinary" ex-convicts, which sounds like non-celebrities?

The issue is not double standards, the issue is disagreement on what attributes are salient.

Just pretend the first two sentences of my previous comment aren't there. I don't care if you agree. The rest of it stands by itself. It's abstract and not related to these events.

Your original complaint was just "why do people only care about who they care about?" I wanted to communicate how tautological I found it.
To expand on this: the politician is defending himself by saying that it is standard procedure for a case like this but I can assure you it is not.

The police is not taking insults seriously, especially not being called "dick". On Twitter some semi-famous people stated that they routinely go to the police because people threaten their lives but the police won't do anything.

One interesting fact that the politician is not mentioning is that he as a Senator des Innern (senator of interior of the state of Hamburg) can actually order the attorney general of their state to investigate something. This has been criticized by law experts multiple times in the past because it makes the judiciary branch not strictly independent from the legislative branch in Germany. No attorney general will deny a request of their boss and will instead push hard for a judge (who are independent) to sign a search warrant. Plus the Landgericht Hamburg (lowest court in Hamburg) has made some very, very questionable rulings in the past related to technology.

Everything here has written abuse of power all over it. It's a systemic failure that is being exploited and Andy Grote tries way too hard to deny it.

Yes and no. Although Minecraft is Java, there’s none of the “ahem” pleasure of using something like Maven/Gradle to manage plug-in dependencies. So plug-in A might require plug-in B, but not too new. And then these only work on the not-quite-current version of Minecraft.

It doesn't seem like you are very familiar with German politics or culture, but this is definitely an outlier. Freedom of speech is a central part of our constitution. Defamation is one of the very few ways and enforcement and interpretation is mostly restricted to defamation of policemen. This is the reason why this has resulted in an outcry as the proportionality does not respond to the interpretation how defamation is treated legally.

You can assume that they're talking about the total generated. They call this the "scientific gain" whereas the "engineering gain" would include all the inefficiencies of the particle beam injectors that put power into the tokamak, and the inefficiency of the steam turbine that makes electrical power from the fusion heat exhaust, and the auxilliary power to run all the pumps, etc. It's generally thought that the "engineering gain" needs to be at least 5, and the "scientific gain" at least 30, for a working reactor. ITER's supposed to hit scientific gain of something like 10-20, which is close.

Oof. Watch out for anything with 'zen' in it. There's a lot of bull around yoga classes and yoga people. If you just do yoga, breathe and focus on the breath, you are meditating. Simple as that. The rest is just branding and bullshit, to be avoided.

As someone who used to lift and absolutely loved it, I wanted to try to explain the difference between lifting and yoga.

Lifting is awesome and I used to absolutely love it. I also found it somewhat meditative. It was my unwind time. I miss it. What I didn't get from lifting is the diversity that yoga brings in terms of strengthening far more muscles, while also giving you flexibility.

I'm trying to think of a pose I can give you, but I worry that if you just dive in and try it you could injure yourself. The good yoga routines will start you off very slowly with breath, then some light stretching, then sun salutations, and then into the harder poses. It is those harder poses that give you this kind of "diversity of strength" I'm describing.

An example of a pose that isn't that hard to do, but strengthens muscles that lifting rarely works is half moon pose: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ardha_chandrasana

Yoga is usually a flow, and a well designed flow will alternate between exerting muscles and then stretching those same muscles that you were exerting while exerting the ones you were stretching. That way you get strength and flexibility.

I don't have a gym near me anymore (I live on a small island) but I suspect that the combination of yoga and a killer lifting routine could do unbelievable things for your strength, flexibility and overall aesthetics, while helping you lift way heavier while avoiding injury. Just a thought. Best of luck!!

Good points. But I'd note that Haskell's infrastructure around Functor isn't typical of functional languages. Specifically in Haskell, I think it's pretty important to have an idea what functors, monoids and monads are, because these are typeclasses that you will almost certainly be using at some point. Not all functional languages have typeclasses or an alternative and convenient way to express these concepts, and in those, it's not so important to understand these notions abstractly.
