My answer may go in a different direction than you might expect. But The most important gift I’ve ever given myself is being brave and facing my fears/demons. Taking a break from the flow of life, stepping outside of expectation, and turning inward. Of going to therapy for the first time, learning to meditate, and working through the childhood conditioning that was causing me to choose a life of “imprint” rather than “blueprint”. The imprint allowed me material abundance for which I am grateful. But the blueprint has given me my life’s purpose, my true calling, which is no less scary than the choice I made in 2006, but more valuable than anything on paper.

I’m always happy to connect more deeply and provide guidance if this resonates with you - PM me.
By that point aren't you wasting as much computation time as you're trying to "save" by making it useful.
Here are some schools that endorse the Chicago Statement on Freedom of Expression: https://www.thefire.org/chicago-statement-university-and-fac...

It's a diverse mix of state universities and a few elite private ones. No right-wing captured institutions as far as I can tell.

Being right-wing is not even a positive indicator for liberal values and support of free speech, IMO. Right wingers just cancel people for different reasons. Liberal values are not on the left-right spectrum in 2021, if they ever were.
Hey another request to piggyback on yours, where can I find a relatively normal (non-gamer) mouse with a button that can disconnect the brake on the wheel? I don't even know what it's called but I know I love that feature.

For example to quickly scroll down a long page, just disconnect the brakes and roll the wheel, it will just keep going. Or testing infinite scroll feature, just let the wheel go.

I had one mouse like this that I loved but it broke eventually. Now the only one I've been able to find is a gamer mouse with a bunch of unnecessary feature.

“Facebook Facing a Big Tobacco Moment”
I mean, not being super familiar with this guy outside of what is presented in the article, there does seem to be a pretty important difference between someone like Milo and an actual academic giving an academic talk. I see why some would worry about cancelling a talk by the former (despite him being utterly repugnant and bringing nothing of substance to the audience), but the latter cancellation seems worse to me.
This letter reinforces the Atlantic article's claim that progressive Twitter mobs are cancelling anyone who disagrees with them.
Well, perhaps they need to move up your list now.

The "anti-lockdown protests" have consistently attracted some very unpleasant kooks, cranks and opportunists, from the "5g mind control" lot to the "international banker conspiracy" lot. It's omni-nutty. Piers Corbyn is a regular at the UK ones. In the US, I am sure that all roads lead to QAnon and their anti-Semitic totalising conspiracy theory. The intensity and nature of crankery is shifting.
Hard agree. Microsoft going for Right to Repair hurts Apple’s hardware position, just like Apple’s privacy position hurts Google.

I try to summarize leaving out explicit statements about Covid:

- a significant portion of the US-Population (my remark: similar to other western countries) is not willing to take the shot

- a huge proportion of which are underprivileged, from "working classes"

- the pharmaceutical companies have a gigantic financial leverage, in total $1.3 trillion. (My remark: an example from Germany: Biontech Investors: Thomas & Andreas Strüngmann (Hexal) €48 billion; Biontech Founders: Özlem Türeci & Uğur Şahin: €13.5 billion.)

- basic violations of informed and voluntary consent

- criminal past ("Pfizer paid out the biggest health care fraud settlement in U.S. history as part of a $2.3 billion fine for illegal marketing, along with numerous other penalties.")

- revolving door (Scott Gottlieb, the former head of the FDA who accelerated the agency’s drug approval process, now sits on Pfizer’s board.)

- lobbying spending etc.

So, if one is willing to step outside the danger of being killed or seriously harmed by the virus, it is actually scary from a mere power standpoint, a trojan horse for totalitarian elements which once installed are very difficult to get rid of.

Basically there are broadly two camps: One side is afraid of the virus the other side is afraid of losing their freedoms. And they are each accusing one another to be "over-sensitive" to the point that there is barley any exchange anymore but an adherence to be on the "right side" of history, science whatever.
This split can be observed way before, the recent one with Trump. And from my perspective the long underlying mechanism (beginning with the 70's) is indeed the ever greater gap between the rich and the poor.

So my point: take the fears of the persons around you seriously, however irrational they seem to you. Social media is a very bad representation since it is designed for the single purpose to capture your attention. Try to take the conscious effort from time to time to get out of your bubble in which you were socialized. And then, try not to lecture immediately but instead listen and perceive the real persons before you, their motiviations, their stories etc.

Target or Decoy: Are Neuroscientists Pursuing the Right Target?
> John Carlson Lecture

As a disclaimer I am against any censorship of academia and think that even Charles Murray should be allowed to speak at a university (assuming he is invited by an academic department or student group) and that the university should never have veto power.

However, I think the example in the Atlantic is actually more mild than past cases: the John Carlson Lecture is a general audience talk that the university holds to boost its public image.

It’s not an academic talk discussing new research or a political perspective, but rather summarizes ideas for the public. If MIT wants to decide who should give such talks I don’t care.

In contrast, if a department or student group wants to invite a specific speaker for a specialized talk about politics, science, math, then the university censoring such discourse is what is truly dangerous.

In this light, the cancellation of Milo Yiannopoulos who was invited by the College Republican club is much worse. Even though personally I do not think Yiannopoulos is anything but a provocateur, if someone (group/department) wants to invite him the university should not block him from speaking.
I should try to look at the documentation again. But apart from the using the package manager, the rest of the documentation submerged you in a deep theoretical understanding of nix, going deeper and deeper, until the only thing that made sense anymore was the respect you gained from the technies who went further and somehow managed to use nix.

KV means key value. Essentially the suggestion is to organize your data as a big key value structure(hashmap-like).
This term usually means data is not normalized/separated as in regular SQL.

for instance, in SQL:

User table, that has columns: id, email

Article table, that has columns: id, text, user_id

KV/noSQL equivalent:

Article document, that has properties: id, text, user_email
While reading this I've checked the URL (more than once) to be sure I'm really reading a Nature article. I've checked even the TLS certificate of the site after some while.

Just to riff on your idea. I’d like to see them include a one time use 5-20 mile battery just to use in case you get stranded of out of charge.

Since it’s one time use I think we could use some really powerful chemistries that wouldn’t weigh as much. Aluminum something maybe?

I have no opinion about NixOS but every time I read someone touting its merits I feel like I live in a parallel universe. NixOS seems to solve problems I never had at extreme costs to its general usability.

I don’t care that I can rebuilt a computer identical to mine in minutes. I don’t change computer often enough for it to matter and the tweaking I do is minimal because frankly tweaking configuration is not fun and feel like a gigantic waste of time. Same things for reproducible builds, I like them as a developer for the things I work on because they make things easier to manage and debug. I couldn’t care less as a user. I just want things to work.

I guess it could make sense for servers as an alternative to provisioning tools but then it seems to me like it’s competing with docker and kubernetes and I have never seen a convincing argument about why it would be better.

I think that’s why you see a lot of things you view as dislike. Plainly speaking I think most people don’t see the point.

There's been loads of discussion about the China's tech ecosystem on HN over many years. Of course a lot of it is politically charged, due largely to the actions of national governments and a few people's over-enthusiasm to get caught up in political battles (and it doesn't help that HN is blocked by China's firewall, along with language and cultural barriers). But there's also been plenty of discussion here between ordinary people about what's going on there.

And there are always plenty of Show HNs and other discussions from elsewhere in Asia, particularly India of course, but also Japan and Singapore.

Much of it you may not be aware of, as it's often not explicitly stated in titles or intros.
I guess I'll disagree with that, Nazis and Hitler are not some holy or taboo things that must never be compared to anything else, the problem is that comparison between things becomes difficult the more emotionally charged the things being compared are, so if you are going to compare Nazis and Hitler with something else you better be really clever at making comparisons and able to fight when folks come unglued.
It's really OK for you to agree with someone who doesn't share your entire set of political beliefs. There is no need to be suspicious. It's probably a bad thing for the world to be divided into "us and them", don't you think?
People need to learn that the nuts (of any belief system) are always the loudest, and therefore give a distorted impression of actual consensus.

Who are the loudest people on the left? Mobs and trolls who imagine grievances everywhere, which is sort of the leftist equivalent of conspiracy theory.

Who are the loudest on the right? Qanon, Nazis, and theocrats / dominionists who think we should return to Old Testament law.

If you have not already done so, you might want to look into the compatibilism stance in philosophy.

Note that I am not suggesting that this will answer your questions, or that it does so for me. I have a strong suspicion that the most it does is provide some sort of explanation for why we tend to feel we have free will (or, equivalently I think, to define it in a non-intuitive way.)

Free will is the real 'hard problem' for materialists who think they have it. Dualists will not even get to that question until they can offer some affirmative hypotheses about whatever is going on in minds.

Ha! We're part of the same club it seems. I did the same thing in Europe and got one as well as an offer for an evaluation chip. I explained that I was just trying to work on my Atari ST and they were more than happy to send the manual, at their cost (and it was a pretty beefy book). I still have it somewhere. Motorola chips were so nice to program for compared to everything else.
Fun fact, Wroclaw's University of Science and Technology, one of the leading STEM-focused colleges in Poland, teaches about Singularity as something really new and innovative. They also teach service-oriented architecture and peer-to-peer networks that might, at some point, enable decentralized transfer of money, as if Bitcoin never happened. When I was looking at that specific course, it definitely gave me early 2000s "make everything p2p" era vibes.
> Crazy thing about NixOS is that it's so good, all the bad parts can be excused. I like to go on forums and complain about how the Nix configuration language is horrible, and there's not much documentation on how to get general things done.

I don't think it is fair to say that Nix as a programming language is horrible, IMO, as a DSL it is pretty good and fits the domain well.

It is a strange language at first and it takes some time to learn all its quirks. Also, it lacks better tooling, things like LSP for example (there is one but it is slow and limited last time I tried). But just claiming the language is "horrible" is really unfair.

All true. NOBODY has or had any clue about the dynamics of JIT supply chains.

If you are an engineer: the assumptions were that they were linear and time-invariant when in fact they are highly nonlinear and time-variant.

NOBODY with an MBA (unless they are engineers first) has ANY CLUE about dynamical systems, Lyanpunov stability, differential equations, etc. that actually describe how JIT supply chains work when you vary volume greater than ~1%-5%.

BTW the same can be said of financial networks, electronic bourses/markets and high frequency trading. Same problems. Same ignorance. Same risks nobody understands or sees.

It’s Not Misinformation. It’s Amplified Propaganda
Article doesn't really address the question of whether you can ALWAYS trust inlining. I can tell you from experience the answer is no. We have some libraries at work that implement generic evaluation of functions over pages of objects, as in the context of a database. The authors did this in the "proper" C++ way, which involved a lot of generics and templates. They also sprinkled inline directives all over the place, apparently without ever actually benchmarking each individual case.

What it ended up with is a bunch of absolutely enormous modules, each generating tens of megabytes of mostly identical code, but with the leaf functions in each case handling floats, ints, strings, etc.

Removing some of these inline directives probably would not impact the code at all, since most of the inlined code was cold. But it would likely benefit build performance quite a bit. It might even improve runtime performance by putting less pressure on the cache.

This is probably not a surprise, but inlining is best for hot leaf code. Cold code should probably not be inlined unless it is used exactly once.
The perfect is the enemy of the good. By that I mean that there is no perfect security, at some point, if given long enough, security of any system (computer or otherwise) can/will be broken. The point is to slow it down for long enough that it is of no use.

I have to wonder what kind of information is useful enough to wait forever for? What kind of personal information of mine, for example, will be useful after I'm dead? There may be something.

Even if we look at state actors it doesn't change - if China's government manages to decrypt something the UK has that is useful now, like some advanced technology, will it still be advanced when its encryption is cracked? Slow them down for even 20 years and it'll be too long to wait.
There's a difference between "usable" and "having a deep knowledge" I think.
Regarding the difficulty of expressing the differing distances of overlapping points in the isometric projection (the one that has four axis) and in the shadow projection. A common way to represent proximity in 3d in a 2d projection is to make the wireframe thicker and/or stronger for closer lines, such as in organic chemistry (see the diagram for Bromochlorofluoromethane [1]), as if the wireframe had non-zero thickness and appeared thicker the closer it is to our eyes

Could something similar be implemented to improve the visualization of 4d objects in 3d projections? Making lines/surfaces thicker when closer in the orthogonal dimension, or changing opacity to represent such thickness
