Indeed. I can see the logic for the US - accept that these guys milk your own citizens a bit in exchange for bringing in loads of cash from abroad plus massive spying and influence capabilities wrt the rest of the world. But why GB, EU etc go along with it is beyond me. Seems like a strategic blunder.
> So pretty much what they’ve already done with casinos?

No, what they've done with casinos is leverage demand plus state prohibition to eatablish heavily regulated, heavily taxed, licensed local monopolies, that extract monopoly rents from consumers, and from which the native governments likewise extract monopoly rents (leaving sufficient remainder for the operators to be happy with the deal.)

Casinos are pretty much the opposite of the proposed “win the race to the regulatory and revenue extraction minimum” game suggested for the “free trade zones”.

Ask HN: How to find a job in robotics/AD as a recent graduate?
I'll be graduating with a Master's in control systems and looking for opportunities related to autonomous driving (motion planning & control) or robotics (mobile robots, multi-agent systems).

Background: I have prior work exp, and worked on many projects (pretty basic, not something complicated) related to these fields. I have been coding with C++ and Python for many years now, so I guess I can call myself a beginner with programming. I haven't formally worked with algorithms or algorithm design though.

Question: How can I find an opportunity in these domains, given my qualifications? Right now, I see a lot of vacancies which have insane requirements (PhD or 3+ years of relevant exp, a master-of-all skillset, etc) even for entry level positions. Is this how it always was? People who are working in robotics/AD, how did you guys do it?

PS: I live in the EU, if it helps.
They don't need them to stick around for the long run, only for now. This game has been played over and over through the decades.

Hmm... Not really sure I get what problem this schema is the best solution for. It seems like the author was more interested in implementing a model they felt was more conceptually sound than other solutions, but aren't solving any significant problems, and don't seem to have any big functional improvements over more established contenders.

Just going through the section for why they think it beats YAML:

> YAML can be ambiguous about what types the data written into it is.

If you're worried about data types, that sounds like a job for a proper data storage format rather than putting it into a configuration file, no?

> There's also a persistent issue where very large YAML files become unmanageable, especially due to the significant indentation feature.

That sounds like a poorly designed configuration setup. If you've got a nested config that complex, by my reckoning, it should be reorganized into flatter data structures or broken down into more specific configuration files regardless of what the format is.

>YAML is a great, widespread language. Unlike KDL, which is node-based (like XML or HTML), it's based on map and array data structures, which can provide an easier serialization experience in some cases.

Saying that processing node-based formats is more difficult in 'some cases' is a particularly charitable take, especially when they're touting their ability to handle very large, complex configurations.

> KDL is designed to avoid these particular pitfalls by always being explicit about types, and having clearly-delimited scope (and the ability to auto-indent/auto-format). Syntax errors are easier to catch, and large files are (hopefully!) much more manageable.

It seems like it adds significant complexity over YAML to mitigate abuse of YAML... but wouldn't it just be better to do a better job using YAML?

I do tend to be biased towards conforming to the usage practices of existing tools rather than adopting new tools for edge cases or minor conflicts because learning new tools tends to have a slightly higher cognitive toll for me than some others— but as a general rule, I don't see a problem with only switching tools because you have a problem that's significantly more difficult or less efficient to solve with the old tool.

Maybe there's some really clear use cases that aren't obvious to me for whatever reason.

I'm not in the US neither US politics affect me, but this kind of agenda on Mozilla official pages is the reason why more neutral community and OSS projects thrive and Firefox see it's decline. CEO of Mozilla can have whatever political position he wants to, but browser suppose to be a dumb pipe just like ISP is. It's just outrageous how someone stand against ISPs control of internet and support net neutrality with one hand, but with other hand push his agenda via non-profit corporation resources.

Just imagine Blender Foundation or GIMP making statements about how we need a tools to control whatever 3D models people able to work on because you know you can create some fake child pornography using them.

Believe it or not, fat people receive this kind of anecdotal lecture unprompted throughout their lives.

It is precisely these attitudes that the article addresses directly. If you assume the problem is simple and easy to solve, then anyone who hasn't solved it has a character defect. Needless to say, receiving this kind of pep-talk is annoying and unpleasant.

I'd encourage you to read the article or study directly and perhaps ponder what it might feel like to not have been able to eat endlessly from the moment you were born before telling someone else how best to handle a medication actively dis-regulating their metabolism.
It makes sense they would moderate certain accounts differently. Controversial accounts will get reported because people don't like what's posted, even if the content is perfectly legitimate. I'm sure "Doug the Pug" is constantly reported as animal abuse, for instance [0].

The real issue is that these accounts should be scrutinized even more than "regular" users, not less.

NSO group is ex unit 8200, which is military signals intelligence. So in American terms, it's the NSA not the CIA. The distinction is important in a country with mandatory military service. You get a large number of people who go through, get trained, and then leave because it never was a career. A number of them take their skills to the private sector.

Mossad, on the other hand, is a civilian intelligence service and I'm told there's a strong tradition that its members don't freelance their services after leaving.
People keep bringing up decentralized platforms but there is no indication that won't have the exact same problem. Imagine your node is getting spammed by a high traffic node run by a popular set of users, and then it seems you could easily start to drift towards the same solutions where you have a different set of rules for those nodes. It would be nice if someone could suggest which novel approaches that a decentralized platform could take towards solving this problem. "Decentralization" is commonly brought up as a solution to this but in my experience federated solutions like Mastodon are on the whole, extremely similar to Twitter and Facebook, just done on a smaller scale. Part-time node operators there may be even more likely to apply a double standard because it's a lot easier than trying to act fair and put honest moderation efforts towards a node that is abusing the network and spamming. So if I missed something, please mention it.
With a Mod layer and One Shot Mods (OSMs), I do something similar, but also much more basic with my Small Board 4 Dvorak (SB4DV) layout: https://github.com/1MachineElf/qmk_firmware/tree/_sb4dv/keyb...

“What about HOCON?”
Declarative languages are characterised by having the programmer specify _what they want_ but not _how to get it_ (i.e to get a sorted list, you would specify that the elements are in increasing order, but not the specific algorithm to use). In contrast, functional languages are characterised by treating functions as first class values (amongst other things, but these are harder to summarise).

Prolog for example is a declarative language, Haskell is a functional language.

There are many things that went in favor of SC1 versus SC2.

Your workers had different HP, acceleration, and speed; this made each races economy slightly different (you could get away with a different amount of workers). You had high ground mechanics, where units on the low ground had a 50% chance at missing their shot.

The unit selection, as you stated.

The units for each race WERE broken and unbalanced. Lurkers were insane, siege units were, reavers were insane, etc; but every race had strong powerful units so it "felt" fair.

It was the culmination of all the little things that led to a great game that is still played professionally today, over the span of 20 years.

In fact, there's a great tournament that just started recently called the Afreeca Star League.

The voting rights point is interesting. My understanding is that one side wants more verification of eligibility, but the other side is worried that if the approach to verification is too onerous that voter turnout will decrease.

There's seemingly a parallel to the gun control discussion, where again one side wants more verification of eligibility, but the other side is worried that the verification--if applied over-zealously--will be too restrictive.

The two sides are swapped on the two issues, but each time they disagree not necessarily because their fundamental opinions are different, but because they do not trust the other side to be reasonable.
The example that I had in mind with the original comment was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxoplasma_gondii#Lifecycle

I'll grant that no plants come to mind that have a niche that requires them to be wholly eaten, but I still think that deciding whether to eat a plant requires totally different logic than deciding whether to eat an animal.

So what's your position? Are you here to suggest that "we shouldn't eat animals" is absurd by equating it to "we shouldn't eat plants?"

Or are you a vegan looking to take it a step further by not eating plants that have to die in order for you to eat them? Because I'd like to hear more about somebody who sincerely held that belief.

I think maybe part of it is that most people are introduced to FP through haskell, if I had to guess. And haskell (at least the tutorials) is IMO guilty of the top-down approach where the final value is written first, referencing variables that haven't appeared yet. ocaml, on the other hand, has you define your components before the final value which is more familiar to most programmers

I think haskell doesn't always look super readable, but I can appreciate it at least because it reminds me of math papers where the final theorem is introduced first, and then it's broken into lemmas, and each of those lemmas is proved etc
> They are sovereign nations

Yes, but not in the sense that the US is sovereign. Or even the sense that US States are sovereign. “Sovereign” in US domestic law means a lot of different things, and tribal governments are pretty much the least sovereign of all the US’s sovereginties.

I loved my BB Bold. It’s still snappy for most part. Of course don’t bother where internet speed is concerned (802.11b probably was the best it could do). Loved the keyboard and the optical trackpad. It’s more than just nostalgia.

BBs were great at encouraging multi-tasking in the real world (typing an email while looking at someone and having a conversation). Our large display touchscreens of today are better at better at multitasking on the phone (using multiple apps, switching between them). Android is arguably better here, so a future Android based BB could still deliver on the holy grail experience that marries the two.
I was at RIM during this time and it was an absolute shitshow. It took so much in-fighting to get RIM to even address the iphone, so many people thought it was a passing fad and would never get polished enough to be a real competitor, despite the fact it was already destroying marketshare.

But even then, there wasn't enough buy in from the company at large with the device, and it was certainly rushed, I think almost intentionally to try to prove the point of how "bad" touch only phones were going to be.
>situation you have with kids or family where "unconditional love" is a thing

Even here you have to be careful.

True Story:

He had "made it" in the US with a "Green Card" and a promising future. His elderly parents were living by themselves in his home country and suddenly his Father passed away. Within a year he had to make a judgement call on whether to get back home to take care of his Mother (an ailing, helpless and needy woman) or continue with his life in the US. Filial piety, Affection and Love for his Mother made him choose the former option. The result? His job and career gone with an abandoned "Green Card" and nonexistent future. He has ended up as the sole caretaker and caregiver (living off of his savings) for almost a decade now. This is now the "norm" and the expectation is that he would continue doing it until the Mother's (or his) end. He is frustrated, angry with everybody (especially with his siblings) and is basically trapped for the foreseeable future.

So what did his self-sacrifice gain him? An emotional decision cost him everything.

"But in Kerala — far from the high-stakes maneuvers of the Cold War and nearly 2,000 miles from the Indian capital of New Delhi — history has taken the most unexpected of detours.

Instead of ossifying into an autocratic force, Kerala’s communists embraced electoral politics and since 1957 have been routinely voted into power.

Instead of being associated with repression or failure, the party of Marx is widely associated with huge investments in education that have produced a 95 percent literacy rate, the highest in India, and a health-care system where citizens earning only a few dollars a day still qualify for free heart surgery.

This modern incarnation of communism also has produced one of the stranger paradoxes of the global economy: millions of healthy, educated workers setting off to the supercharged, capitalist economies of the Persian Gulf dreaming of riches and increasingly finding them."
Logarithms can probably be taught using logarithmic Cuisinaire blocks, which might be presented along with suitably scaled graph paper. (You remember Cuisinaire blocks from primary school - they're in lengths of 1, 2, 3... and they're all different colours.)

P.S.
The primes assume their proper importance in arithmetic using logarithmic blocks.

Fact: functional programming takes more time to learn. It's not full of people that are "smarter' or "snobs" it's just full of people that have taken the time and invested in educating themselves to get to the point where they can do it well. It's not "better", it's just a useful tool for certain types of problems. I'd advise any young engineer to just learn how to do both "imperative" and "functional" programming well and avoid getting dogmatic about it. The vitriol here is in dogma here to be sure

I felt similarly when I first saw it, but I saw that there was no java impl, and I'd been looking for a project, so I wrote one. I've been playing with it for more than 6 months and I think it's better than YAML in a number of ways. The syntax is very clear and mostly simple and the noted ability to autoformat is no small thing. I think it aims for a niche, and hits its target pretty well.
