Easy to say, but not to do: start writing every day.

There is a hack.

Choose a throwaway HN or Reddit account and commit to writing just one sentence about one article every day. Give yourself permission for the result to suck. All you need is one sentence, then you can be done with writing for the day.

But it must be every day, whether you feel like it or not.

What you'll find is that very often once sentence turns into two, and so on until you feel you're done.

You'll get immediate feedback. Keep this up on a particular topic, and you'll eventually start to figure out what clicks with a very specific audience.

At that point you can stop posting to HN or Reddit and start a blog if you feel like it. If you don't want public attention, use a private log where you store your articles.

After you've done this for a while, pick up a book or two on writing. You'll notice some habits you picked up that are helpful or harmful. Now you can work on them. The advice in the book won't be abstract because you'll immediately see yourself and know the behaviors to address for increase or decrease.
>but colleges have to deal with a situation where young vulnerable barely adults are entering completely new environments without their parents protecting them for the first time in their lives

If that's truly the case, then the parents failed.
Agile is like Communism. Sounds good in theory, but it's never actually been used successfully. And every time someone tells a story about it failing the apologists inevitably reply with, "but that wasn't real agile."

I would suggest that if something is so hard to get right, then maybe it's not such a great methodology after all.

Remember, there's also a powerful tendency to absolve people of the consequences of their actions by painting them as victims of powerful corporate mind-control.

If you eat fast food for every meal, is your obesity your fault, or are you a victim of food corporations' incredibly effective advertising?

If you smoke a pack a day, despite all the public information that smoking is harmful, is that your fault or the fault of the tobacco industry's advertising?

If Doctorow is right, and advertising is ineffective, there's a lot of people who will have to accept that their situation is a product of their own actions. For a lot of people, this is "victim-blaming" and unacceptable. It's a lot easier to have large corporations being evil powerful baddies who control us and therefore absolve us of responsibility for our actions.

I would love to see it annotated with numerical data that it is collecting, like how high the waves are, how fast the winds are, etc.
It's not stupid.

If you have normal stakeholders, they want to see features. You, as a developer or maybe an existing user, want to fix bugs. But new features bring new customers.

Too many demos without new features and the engineering political capital will plummet like a rock. That's when things get dicey and people get moved around or fired.

> "I have nothing to hide" is is gradeschool silliness to be treated with contempt every time it comes up. It needs to be ridiculed as anyone suggesting it is an idiot or just totally and knowingly dishonest.

That might be an aspirational sentiment, but given most competent adults are in the "I have nothing to hide" category, I don't think it's true at all. I don't think these people are idiots, or dishonest, just ignorant. And it's not even their fault.

Now I say most adults are in that category, but I don't have data on that. I'm going by observed behaviour. We don't see a massive push against tracking / spying and even when it's thrown in our faces (eg: Snowden, Manning) we respond with a collective shoulder shrug.
I remember watching this video yesterday and realizing how how expressive FORTH can get. The wikipedia page really doesn't do it justice. Fortunately their second program made use of multiple words and better shows off the language but it would be cool to see someone do a real deep dive into some of the cool DSLs you can effectively write.

The flaw in logic here is to assume that Germany and the US are otherwise identical in policy. But of course that's not remotely true. Germany roads are safer because

- Drivers are required to obtain an extensive education at a licensed driving school and pass a rigorous test before being allowed to drive.

- Driving rules such as "no passing on the right" are strictly enforced in Germany, creating a more predictable (and thus safer) driving environment. There is absolutely no way something like the following could be achieved in the US due to Americans' stubbornness and lack of driving discipline:

https://jalopnik.com/how-germans-make-way-for-emergency-vehi...

- German roads are designed to naturally encourage people to make good decisions by the use of roundabouts, narrower lanes (which naturally make people slow down and be more careful) and many similar "vision zero" initiatives.

- German roads are consistently maintained.

- When you're not on the autobahn, speed limits are generally lower than in the US and are more strictly enforced.

Not to say that Germany is perfect, but they are doing much more than the US to ensure road safety and are doing so more consistently.

Criticism engulfs paper claiming an asteroid destroyed Biblical Sodom Gomorrah
It’s been normal since software and the internet started to become an important part of every area of society. But that’s how economies progress. There was a period in recent history when demand for manufacturing labor greatly outstripped supply. Our skills are simply in demand by the fastest growing areas of the economy right now.

Personally, I wasn’t surprised by this outcome. Temporary instability is what I was predicting. For demand for software engineers to actually tank, demand for software and software services would have to tank. I figured this was possible, but would require the entire global economy to collapse. So I figured it was unlikely, and in either case declining the offer I had to go full-time last year (when my employer at the time said they were terminating all their contractors) was most likely to be the correct decision (because full-time employment wasn’t going to protect me from global economic collapse).

The thing that I didn’t predict at all, is how long travel restrictions would be in place. Which has turned out very well for software engineers in developed economies, because all developed economies import software engineering labor from developing economies.
I run a website that helps people settle in Germany. It doesn't need to pay as much as software dev, so long as I can enjoy a more peaceful lifestyle.

I second this. I happened to be in Middleton, WI on National Mustard Day (which is apparently a real "holiday"). They had a bunch of mustard themed midway games set up and a band like a little festival. The museum itself was pretty neat as well. The gift shop is why I recommend people stop by if the happen to be in that part of Wisconsin. They have over 500 types of mustards you can buy[1], and have a free samples counter that lets you try probably around 10. Some of them are extremely unique. I think the oddest one I tried was the peach champagne mustard because for whatever reason I didn't expect it to be so sweet. I still use the classic beer mustard I bought from there.

True, all of the paintings in hotel rooms. In my view, the value of Picassos is partly due to a loosely accepted "canon" of paintings that are considered to be of particular value. If hotel paintings were discovered to be of equal artistic quality, it would not put them in the "canon." The supply is artificially limited by social convention.

Art prices are also driven in part by a partial record of sales, so at least we know what some paintings sold for in the past.

What we don't know about the digital art world is what conventions will emerge, that define the "supply" of works of particular value.
ZFC comes with First-Order Logic and is certainly complete. You are right in that sense.

Let me be more specific: Given a sentence that is true in every model of ZFC, you can prove that sentence. This is true because ZFC is a first-order theory, and this is a property of ANY first-order theory.

People that are pointing out incompleteness are talking about something else: They are talking about the fact that there are sentences S where neither S nor not S is provable. Additionally, there is a meta reason why S is believed to be true. For example, take S = encoding of "ZFC is consistent". BUT: This sentence S is true in some models of ZFC, and false in others, because otherwise the completeness of ZFC would make it provable / disprovable. So this boils down to the meta-truth being different from truth in a model.

Disclaimer: I just recently looked seriously into this stuff, because I was wondering about completeness of a logic I invented. So if the above is wrong, please somebody correct me!
I had never thought of type systems in this way. If type systems are effectively a "unit" attached to the data then you can think of them as an unknown value in arithmetic.

Eg "4x + 4y = 40.4z"

x, y, and z here are units: x is meters, y is centimeters, and z is decimeters. You could do the same with types. The computer only knows the binary value, but the type assigns meaning to the value just like physical units do.

This must've been really obvious to a lot of people, but it only clicked just now for me. Thank you.
Tell your surgeon this. From these graphs and data, I'm surprised the author isn't claiming masks cause transmission.

Mustard snobs would point out that Maille doesn't deserve it's heritage mystique as they haven't used mustard seeds from their historical home of Burgundy for many years. They are all imported from Canada, probably coinciding with the purchase by Unilever(?).
Maybe I'm being terribly naive, but I don't see this from a maths perspective at all, I see this as about the shape of data and about memory allocation.
If one increments pointers across an array of data, one should know the stepping size, for example.

How is this (programming/practical) side of the word "type systems" related to formal/mathematical "type systems"?

I missed that part
Or if you prefer yellow mustard for some things, I'd suggest Plochman's. Everyone I've had tried Plochman's never ever uses that garbage from French's ever again. It is such a wonderful mustard with just the right amount of bite.
Zoom Announces Termination of Merger Agreement with Five9
That's not what that line means at all. That line means that an argument like `let's stop using gender-neutral language in our documentation, it's easier to just say "he" instead of "the user"` won't fly: this type of argument prioritizes the comfort of a privileged group (males) over the safety/well-being of a marginalized group (women and non-binary people).
I think it depends. Lots of the food is a hassle to make, so only done for big occasions when it will serve many.

But some of it I agree. Never learned to enjoy the traditional Norwegian food. Now it's "fårikål season", which is basically just lamb+cabbage boiled for far too long. Or "smalahove" where you eat the sheep's head. Christmas is the samme. Take ribs of the lamb and damp with salty water. Might be lamb I don't like, though.

Yeah, I follow Peter Mohrbacher who's a surrealist fantasy artist. I've bought some physical prints from him (not even originals or anything, just normal art prints) because I like his art and wanted to have it on my wall and preferred to pay him for a proper print than print a digital copy myself. He also at some point made some NFT sales and I really tried to find a reason to get excited but just couldn't.

I can understand why he was, though, because on his particular platform, artists get a cut of future resale of their art. So he sells a piece for $100, someone later sells it for $200, and he gets a 5% cut (made-up number, I don't remember what exactly it was) for an extra 10 bucks, and so on (but it's still always just a digital token, not a physical piece).

But that doesn't require NFTs to happen. Since it was a proprietary platform, a plain old database could have done the exact same thing.

It probably would sound like noise.

Hurricanes are interesting to listen to, though. The banshee wails of the winds as another band comes through. The low growling/humming sound when it is otherwise quiet between bands. The wet, snapping of death coming to a tree.
Thank you for the correction. I particularly appreciate the kind tone, it's rare on the internet.
The question was about your personal energy expended on changing public opinion and making a greener environment, not if you are in power and have dictatorship powers, unless you have a path to that point. What do you think is the most efficient usage of your time to lower emissions?

The Dominican Republic had a very green dictatorship who was sadly assassinated but his trees have protected the country on there and island where Haiti was decimated.
This isn't true for everyone. I'm on site every day and Zoom is a hassle compared to a phone call I can do from my car.

> A chararacteristic element of mustard is the fact it is spicy.

Mustard is made from seeds of the mustard plant, not all varieties of which are spicy.

> The color is lighter than the real deal, and the structure is very creamy.

Except that Bavarian sweet mustard is way darker than typical mustard, has a very rough texture, and still can hardly be described as spicy/hot.

Also texture isn't really a function of the type of mustard seeds used, but rather a function of the way it's produced.
Performance is only half the point. The other half is correctness. And I think this pattern of "important correctness and performance sensitive core, surrounded by simple but flexible glue code" is common enough that such a language makes sense. It describes pretty much all of the code that I write at work in fact. Being able to simply add type annotations and have the compiler generate the runtime type checks would be wonderful.
I mean, it's making many of them, but DeFi/"Smart Contracts" is a novel mistake. "Due to misdrafting of a contract we have to give all of the bank's funds to a cat" isn't a thing that happens in the real world; while contract mistakes can be expensive, the sheer ridiculousness common in DeFi-world is unique and new.
It's almost like there's a reason banks try not to "move fast and break things"...

@iamidly There are already a few shells out there that already do this. Such my own one:

- Inlining SQL: https://murex.rocks/docs/optional/select.html

- Selecting rows from a table (the docs doesn't cover all the usecases of `[` - I need to fix that): https://murex.rocks/docs/commands/index.html

There's also other shells like Elvish and Powershell that can do this kind of stuff too.

I raise this because if you're trying to plug a void in the market then I'd suggest you take a look at these first as they're already relatively mature and might solve the same problems you're trying to address.

However if this is just a hobby, a bit of fun to pass the evenings, then by all means carry on. As one shell author to another, it's a fun project to take on :)
I'm also a mustard lover and appreciate that the author didn't try to rank them - different mustards should be used for different occasions.

I will admit that I found it a bit amusing that this article appeared on the front page of HN with "Where Do Type Systems Come From". Clearly mustard type systems come from James Beard and now Jason Diamond.
Almost seems like it could be a giant captive market for some specialized funds. Like if you’re in one of these positions you can invest with a new hedgefund without needing to be a qualified investor.
Basic Human Connection has disappeared from recruiting.

Look up the founder, give him your feedback on the test. Send him your profile link.

Tell him you can probably help him, but instead of waisting time—- a quick Zoom conversation might be vastly more productive.

Essentially, you’re having the founder prove back his interest in you.

“ Second, running in a browser makes the top of your user acquisition funnel wider, because all it costs to try your platform is a click.”

While often cited, I don’t think that’s as much of an advantage anymore in the age of app stores, Steam, game streaming, and downloadable games on consoles, where all it costs is a tap or two.
There's another aspect to this analogy - It's like an autographed baseball card + the person / entity autographing the card has declared (by code) that there won't be another one of these autographed series ever (eg - 10k CryptoPunks series).
Public service used to be thought of as a sacrifice for the good of all people. For many people it is. Teachers, social workers, public defenders, armed service people. All of these people make a pittance compared to what they could in the private sector.

Saying a congressperson or a judge should be allowed to trade stocks simply because it affects their well being is an argument that appears rather frail. I would be surprised if there is anyone in those positions of power either elected or appointed who would be considered to be even slightly financially disadvantaged. If they want to be wealthy, let them go back to work as attorneys or whatever profession they came from.
> My question is why Open Connect Appliance wasn't even in their network in the first place?

By having Open Connect Appliance network gives up ability to traffic engineer Netflix, which may decrease the leverage the network has with its peers or its transit providers.

Fundamentally, unless someone must peer with you (settlement or settlement free) and must peer with you on your terms ( locations, types of connections, etc ) you always want traffic that you and only you can control.
- Moreover, German vehicles (meaning vehicles registered in Germany, not vehicles from German brands/factories) must pass strict tests every two years (for vehicles less than 10 years) or yearly (10 years or more).

Some US states have a looser policy on this.
But then I come by and scan your card and print a fresh one. This is fairly cheap to do. Why is mine not valuable? Does this process devalue yours?

NFTs posit that the answer is that yours isn’t authentic and the process won’t devalue mine because mine is. And they offer an algorithmic mechanism to enforce and verify authenticity.

In the baseball card world, that ought to be true, but may not be. Maybe my fake is sufficiently good to fool the market.

Then at that point we realize that what is really valuable is that authenticity. We can make cards themselves infinitely cheap to copy flawlessly and the proof of authenticity remains distinct and valuable.

If we want to bring climate change under control then coordination and communication tools that cross national borders are necessary. That is what many of us working in crypto are focused on, you might not yet value it, but we do.

How do we collectively, as a planet, decide what is acceptable usage of energy and what isn't? Who gets to use machines and who doesn't? And how do we do that in a way that isn't authoritarian, and held together with violence?

Is it wrong to use my gpu playing video games all day, or is the moral panic only applying to certain uses of computers?

The Internet is literally a series of erbium doped tubes, analogous to highway traffic.

Videos of cats at high enough bandwidth can melt optical interconnects.

For the same reason truckers pay some tax for brutalizing the roads, giant content providers beaming data through these systems must be taxed lest the Internet infrastructure be destroyed and the cost only be burdened by general taxpayers instead of users. (because Netflix would just charge users more, but in the meantime they will fight to have other non-user taxpayers maintain the infrastructure)
> The pressure leads to manufacturing bite sized requirements that can be demoed in two weeks...

Yes, the whole 2 week 'sprint' thing really wears me down. I can see the value of deadlines and splitting work up, but between all the release/demo/planning overhead and the constant rush to fit things in it leaves me with a constant low-level anxiety.

3 weeks seems like a more reasonable figure to me. Or with a senior team, just having a prioritised backlog of tasks and doing them in order (sounds crazy, I know).
I have a lot of crypto nerds as friends, they have a trading platform, and so they are on all the reddit/discord/telegram important channels.

I wouldn't know where to begin, because I just got dunked into it a few days ago when one my friends asked my help to code a platform to create vanity user pages. I had nothing to do, it came to me :)

The thing that's most ridiculous about this is that the bandwidth is essentially "free" for SK telecom. They sit a netflix caching server in their network and the traffic never leaves. Other than the cost of switch ports (which are dirt cheap relatively speaking) they have absolutely 0 overhead beyond power and cooling for the netflix box which again with their user count is a rounding error.

I'm not sure if the lawmakers are ignorant, bought and paid for, or a little of both but it would be refreshing if one of them took 30 seconds and applied a little critical thinking to the situation.
