> No one tells people how to build/run a company (and neither does the law in any particular jurisdiction, though they may set boundaries,

This is essentially false. Corporate law, labor law, contract law, IP law, Tax law, and other legal disciplines do a lot to tell people how to build and run companies in every jurisdiction. If you don’t obey them, the state will impose liabilities by force.

> just like the evm sets boundaries)

This is a completely false comparison. Boundaries set by the evm are nothing like legal boundaries.

> people come up with their own methods for doing such and spread/share those methods with others.

Can you think of an example outside finance, where someone has build a company as a DAO instead of using legal incorporation?
Agree and would emphasize these options are temporary. The sustainability of this labor program is dubious. People are going to wake up to a very different labor market when these benefits end.
Long before the pandemic I had a coworker who basically did all the things that are the new norm today:

1. Don't open doors per handle/with hands

2. wear masks in public transit

3. no handshakes just fist bumps

4. if (1) wasn't possible or after (3), always pulling out the small bottle of hand sanitizer

Before the pandemic, in a western, non-medical context, this was clearly considered odd and OCD.

The fear ignited at the onset of the pandemic turned many of us in to OCD patients. Into OCD-societies.

Remember those dead bodies piling up on Wuhan streets? Or the chaotic scenes from Italian hospitals? Those videos are all debunked for along time, so "Why Does No One Ever Talk About those Shock-Videos form China and Italy anymore?" is a question connected to the author's question:

"Why Does No One Ever Talk About Sweden Anymore?"

The answer: "unmitigated, renegade disaster of Sweden’s policy"

No one talks about Sweden (or those videos) anymore, because the lies have become too big to fail.

This pandemical policy desaster across so many "enlightened" countries documents a failure of societal cohesiveness that cannot be explained alone with the biased newsrooms. It stems from vast pockets of society (mostly the upper echelons) that have lost fundamental understanding of basic human rights of their neighbours.

In so far, not only seems Sweden's Covid response more successful. But the foundations of their society much more sound.

I doubt that the 32-core EPYC they focused on is even the most economical solution in this situation.

If they're really RAM-bandwidth constrained, then the 24-core 74F3 (which still has all 256MBs of L3 cache) or even 8-core 72F3 may be better.
Ask HN: Why everyone is copying the Mac's GUI?
I tried Windows 11 and the Taskbar was unusable for me. I never group icons because it hides window titles. Rounded corners, centered Taskbar and other UI "enhancements" make it looks like a cheap replica of a Mac OS. Microsoft has been doing it for sometime. But it's not just Microsoft, Google has been doing the same with Android with every new release. Samsung led the way probably.

Apples OS surely looks beautiful. TouchPad is pleasant to use and the file explorer has a useful multi column view. But that's about it for me. Being a Windows user since 98 nothing else made sense to me and I don't want to be on a Mac again.

So for those who have used both a lot, are Apple's OSes more intuitive or usable when compared to other established interfaces? Why everyone is copying Apple anyway?
> If it’s too “scary” to do so for your company than you need better executives and/or lawyers.

That is the point though. It's sort of obvious if you read through the terms. But if you're at a company that is already afraid of words like GPL, the JDK is "now" also scary.

At the same time, even if your legal department are scared of Oracle (and really just stories of "I heard Oracle sued Google"), I claim that the Corretto docs (and similar) are quite clear.

Yes. I actually fell in love with it. I began to learn iOS and Swift because that's the kind of computer I owned.

I totally get this. It's worrying what Mozilla are doing, and since they're putting in little to no effort to get Firefox back on track I decided I had to help out.

I do a lot of DIY electronics stuff so if I need a part I've never worked with and not 100% sure what size will fit best/look best I just order several variations and keep the one that works best. Sometimes I may need something and not sure of the exact quantity so I just order many and then return the ones I didnt have to open.
The continued threat of bank-runs is the central absurdity of our monetary system. "Everybody keep your money in the bank because if you don't, bad things will happen!"

Personally, I think the only significant disruption would be that enterprises, instead of only having to get buy-in from bankers, would have to sell the public on direct investment.

We are looking for policy concessions. Not taking money from someone who doesn't have money to take isn't much of a policy concession.

Also, as you point out, there are tons of indirect taxes on the poor, but other aspects of the policy status quo really drive it home -- poor social safety net, bad public transport, "public" schools funded with property tax, policies that make rent go up, shipping the jobs overseas, etc, etc. We even allow homeless spikes!

My general point isn't so much that taxes are an ideal metric, it's that we should focus on measuring the status quo rather than measuring who won yesterday's wedge issue battles.
The stimulus checks were a very small part of the overall program.

A substantial subset of Prolog (perhaps with some funky syntax) is easy enough in many major contemporary functional languages. The Haskell translation of Ninety-Nine Prolog Problems is pretty straightforward. Lisp and Prolog always seemed like cousins to me.
It's really no worries. At the end of the day, the issue is really that mathematical / functional / "traditional" currying is not really suited to imperative languages, which is most of them, and notions of "advanced" currying are — I think — throwing good money after bad.

Partial application is very useful (and you're correct that it's "one shot", though you can obviously layer partial applications by partially applying the result), so can the odd curried version of a library function (ideally provided by the library) be, but general-purpose currying… not so much I would say: the languages don't care for it (unlike curried language), it interacts badly with complicated parameterisation (varargs, default, keyword, …), and the almost entirely of the use cases is covered by straight partial application. What little is left can simply be curried by hand.
You'd have to start treating them like people.

Let's disentangle the players in this in the following way. Because it would be absurd to believe charities are the most powerful entities, and "tricky accounting" etc reduces tax liabilities to the actual powerful, is there a way to discharge the conflict? Yes, there is. The charities are created by and funded by the actually powerful. I read somewhere that Sierra Club (and Greenpeace?) received millions more from the energy industry than in personal checks from concerned citizens, and among other things, one might consider tax policy a firmer decision making footing than organizational altruism.

1. Autonomy (informed consent), 2. beneficence, 3. non-maleficence ("do no harm"), 4. justice (distribution of treatment where it is limited) are the principles that bind doctors who are operating on patients. What principles would you expect an independent researcher to uphold beyond what a doctor currently upholds? All other factors considered, as long as these principles are upheld, a doctor is free to try a new surgery for the purpose of exploring its effectiveness, i.e. engage in research. This is not new; private doctors have been testing procedures of varying risk without an IRB since the time of these commissions. Any researcher who violates these principles--where there is a harm to a research subject--is almost certainly liable under criminal fraud and torts laws. It is not a "free-for-all", as you characterize it.

I think in part it may just be because I'm not trying to found a start-up, and I'm not trying to get rich quick. If I were, I would have dealt with this very differently. My integrity and the integrity of this project is far more important than my bank balance. Not everyone feels that way, and I can respect that, but I do.

Ultimately I think running something like this for profit would create really unhealthy incentives to make my search engine worse. Any value it brings, right now, it brings because it isn't trying to cater to every taste and every use case.

I also hate the constant "don't forget to slap the like and subscribe buttons"-shout outs of modern social media, even though I'm aware they it is extremely efficient. If I went down that route, I would become part of the problem I'm trying to help cure. I do feel the sirens' call though, it's intoxicating getting this sort of praise and attention.

I want this to be a long-term project, not a some overnight cinderella story.

In the end, my search engine is never going to replace google. It isn't trying to, it's trying to complement it. It's barely able now, but hopefully I can make it much better in the months and years to come.
It wouldn’t change the outcome.
Yes, that's a factor. Also, vaccination. However, both states did have substantial mortality before 2021, and any serious analysis has to take the timing into account.

Ultimately, however, the top-line facts are opposed to the narrative that TX and FL did substantially worse because of their choices. They did not.

I eventually figured it out. But I would suggest maybe giving a brief 1-slide thingy on "lagg", and link aggregation? (Maybe it was clear from the presentation, but I only see the slides here soooooo...)

I'm not the best at network infrastructure, though I'm more familiar with NUMA stuff. So I was trying to figure out how you only got 1-IP address on each box despite 4-ports across 2-nics.

I assume some Linux / Windows devops people are just not as familiar with FreeBSD tools like that!

EDIT: Now that I think of it: maybe a few slides on how link-aggregation across NICs / NUMA could be elaborated upon further? I'm frankly not sure if my personal understanding is correct. I'm imagining how TCP-connections are fragmented into IP-packets, and how those packets may traverse your network, and how they get to which NUMA node... and it seems really more complex to me than your slides indicate? Maybe this subject will take more than just one slide?
We’re in LA, too. Lots of the contractors are in NoHo. And also downtown and City of Industry, etc. I work remote but we can’t move out of here because of her work! And yeah, she works in smaller batches.

She’s very resourceful: of her strategies for finding new contractors is to listen for the sounds of sewing machines in buildings and then knock on the door. It’s like a weird hidden economy. And they basically didn’t shut down at all during the pandemic.

She made shoes for fun recently with a guy in North Hollywood. One person operation, decades of experience, and his skills are absolutely incredible. He should be a star, but instead he’s just laboring alone in a little box way out in the valley.

One of the best parts of CloudFormation was their introduction of Macros. You can take either your whole template or just a snippet, and perform dynamic transformations by calling a lambda.

Bad assumption. I worked for Snap and anything that goes out has to be reviewed and signed off by legal. Don’t even get me started on looking at data. For some data requests, Directors had to be involved and I had to justify to them to give me access for couple hours to some piece of data.

We can also ask people why. When we do, we consistently hear a few things:

1. Reliable childcare still isn't a thing.

2. A lot of restaurant and retail workers had a full year to find something else to do. Many did. And why go back to working for tips if you found a junior marketing position that you can do remotely home and has a career path?

3. They moved! If you're a service job in an expensive city, many of the people you hoped to rehire relocated last summer and aren't necessarily itching to come back.

And that doesn't even cover the fact that a lot of the managers complaining about this really don't appear to be trying very hard. They don't want to pay market rate, or train anyone on the job, or offer a modicum of respect. Instead, they just call their would-be candidates lazy.

Calling people lazy is a great way to convince them to avoid you at all cost.
