I've read the term defined as MMORPG.

Virtual reality MMORPGs, maybe. But it sounds like some non-gamer marketting people discovered MMOs and decided the name wasn't cool enough.
Had the "knotted rope" moment with the term "Web3" the other day, came across about 6 different uses of the word in a 2 hour period; and every one was someone who was (being charitable) fully bought into and enthused about "cryptoeconomy".

They seemed to be using the term to mean "the web, but fully monetized on an NFT-like basis" but in some way that seemed to denote an ideological significance on par with the concept of the Trinity.

If I heard either term being used like this at a conference, I'd be wary of the kool aid.
Maybe because convincing someone not to engage in behavior that puts EVERYONE ELSE at risk is considerably different than individual issues with obesity? It's not you can cough someone else fat.
Well, no language ever needs features. We could all write software in C or even assembly, but we don’t because abstractions are nice. Generics are an abstraction.

Take C# for example. The `System.Collections.Generic` namespace is full of generic collections (surprise!) that allow more type safe code. If I have a `List`, I can’t guarantee there isn’t something I don’t want in there (that could cause a runtime exception I don’t catch). But if I have a `List<IFeature>`, I know that everything in the list implements `IFeature` (barring compiler bugs and unsafe code).
It was colonialism, with all of the attributes associated with it. Irish were seen as a lesser people and various phases and the machinery of empire acted appropriately.

IMO it is a similar story to India in many ways. The Brits leveraged and undermined the existing power structure and extracted value at whatever cost deemed appropriate. Was there some “benefit”… at some level yes. Were there atrocities and disgusting levels of suffering without the consent of the governed? Yes.
Fear of killing others clearly hadn't been motivation enough.

Fear of their own death, however...

I upvoted you for an interesting analogy which certainly does hold significant truth.

But you're actually arguing that the percent of entrepreneurs who are rent-seeking has actually increased over the past 50 years? I really doubt this is true. I especially doubt it over the past few hundred years. At least on that scale, the world seems to be getting more meritocratic, not less. But heck, I don't really know.

You certainly have a point. It's hard to not "make millions" when you're best friends with a top VC, kleptocrat, or even any politician. Read any book about the third world, or any allegations in the first world, and this becomes obvious.

But there does seem to be a lot of meritocracy/business opportunities left for the rest of us. Have you ever started a business?

Perhaps a healthier way to look at this is that, if you really wanted to, you could network your way up there. Because even taking your worldview as truth, you certainly can.
So you will drop any existing dep your project has that adopts generics ?
Hey, paesano! In an amusing coincidence, I had a delicious Caffè Corretto after dinner at Donato Enoteca in Redwood City last night. They make it with a shot of espresso and a shot of grappa (Italian grape brandy for those unfamiliar with the word). Bracing!
I found this confusing too.

It’s not pay, it’s a stock grant or options grant. They are also selecting for amazingly successful companies AND likely companies that didn’t have to raise a ton of money (this dilute founder equity).

It shouldn’t be surprising the founders end up with a big % of equity and massive payouts.

If the companies had failed and the 20% equity was worth $0 and the founder wasn’t getting paid, not sure WSJ would do an article called “Tech founders are left with almost nothing to show for years of work”

This seems similar to a headline that says “Winners of lottery jackpot walk away with huge payouts”. I mean yeah, you only focused on the biggest winners.
Not all FAANG companies are the same, and your carefree experience does not overwrite others’. You cannot presume to know the experience of companies that encompass tens of thousands of individuals, with untold number of departments and teams. So you were on a low-stress team. Bully for you.
Great article. It strikes me that this system of fishing is far more efficient and environmentally sustainable than the ocean-going ships we use these days. After all, here the fish just come to you!
I for one welcome the "dryness" of mathematical writing. It feels clean, like reading a story without distracting ads.

A beautiful advice that I received as a student was to write mathematics as a series of definitions, propositions and proofs. No text is allowed to exist outside of these three. In practice it is difficult to enforce, but it is helpful to keep this as an aim.

One difference between puppies and junior developers is that you can discuss career aspirations with the latter. If you have juniors AND you can influence resourcing decisions in your company, then you can try to align the work given to the juniors with available projects that could best support their skillset / career development.

Ah right :)

May I ask what you are doing? Your original comment read as some osint fun stuff.
This looks great! Does it expose the directory where the files are written, so that I can use Dropbox to sync?

Does it support templates like how Notion does?
I know nothing about economics, so please correct me if I'm saying something dumb.

Am I right in believing that a big housing market crash is unlikely unless there's an accompanying big stock market crash? House prices have been rising since the 2008 crisis, and any significant downturn in housing prices will be responded with people selling other assets to buy new and now-cheaper properties, thus raising house prices again.

Here in London house prices went down majorly during the first months of the 2020 pandemic, but they quickly went back up and kept raising as people tried to get discounted property.
No, you tell me that everything I point out that is blatantly a violation must be a Typo. You don't understand emissions calculations and confidently claim expertise in something you just pulled up on Wikipedia.

I am well aware that they don't need a giant gas plant or 250 mw power plant, but that's exactly what they applied for. Your arguments are nonsensical so I stopped replying after repeatedly and calmly explaining the rules to you
Honestly. Some people are just impossible to please short of every company becoming a completely worker owned cooperative.
No, academics are publishing research regarding a social issue in india. Why does it matter who they are? Let's say it does, are you saying Saudis abort girls similar to india or are you saying women's rights being considered bad relative to the west means saudis hate women, even their mothers and sisters? Perhaps you forget how recent women's right to vote and divorce is even in the west. Or maybe you think all the recent reforms regarding women's right in Saudi (they can finally travel on their own and drive) was thanks to western influence? Either way, ad-hominem against an academic work is not good in my opinion
From what I’ve seen of the tech, “assist” is the operant word here. It’s more like those article summary bots or a template fill-in-the-blank rather than something like GPT-2 that’s generating entirely novel phrases. A human still has to go in and make the text flow, correct things that don’t make sense, add good hooks, and (of course) an enticing title. The text isn’t “mostly written” by a bot - it’s still text that a human wrote, although it may have been summarized or had details populated by a bot.
That's not the case for me. After working on annoying software tasks all day, I like to do a 34-mile/2-hour bike ride. I do this same route very frequently. It's refreshing because it's so completely different from my job.

In contrast, a lot of games feel like work - guess where you're supposed to go or how to solve a problem, fail due to some trivial mistake, retry many times.
As for the "dislike an artist and I'll dislike all artists with the same name", you could theoretically compare the two by artist-ids, which you can see when sharing the artist through the Spotify client or using a browser to show the profile.

Spotify usually doesn't just give the same ID to several artists with the same name, but of course it's not impossible.
So maybe there's an approach that weights earlier grades heavier if and only if the final exam grade falls short? E.g. if I get an A on the final, the C average I've maintained until that point matters less to my overall grade for the semester.

No system is perfect and there will be inadvertent and undesirable incentives to underperform one way or another, but I like the idea of a system that focuses on rewarding improvement.

The interest rate risk is higher than it has ever been. If the long end of the yield curve climbs, mortgage rates will go up and housing values will go down, 100 bps increase could reduce prices by 20%
The idea that unfamiliar symbols and alphabets are a huge problem for the accessibility of math is common. As physicist I do not agree. Math is hard. It's damned difficult. Symbols and alphabets are the least of your concerns when dealing with a math paper. I know a lot of these symbols by name, I sometimes understand the notation or could familiarize myself with it but the math itself? Nope, no chance, usually. If one cannot deal with the symbols, there is no chance in hell one could deal with the ideas.
Sounds like you're at a good company with a structured plan for retention/promotion, don't worry about it. At a good company like that you're probably also learning a lot. If you start to feel like there's no way up or skills are stagnating, start switching jobs every 1-3y for similar or bigger pay bumps.

Eventually you hit a point where you feel financially secure or you're hitting the max rate for your skills and your decision to stay/leave gets more nuanced and less about money
Wow, bold move.
Yeah, I think the problem is not about variable names but giving meaning to these abstract objects. Beginners often have difficulty understanding abstract concepts and specific (concrete) examples are helpful for them to learn. I think 'Funny words' alone will not be helpful, or even detrimental to beginners' understanding as they may be distracted by unrelated concepts (e.g. what do you mean by adding blues together in this example?).
It's unrelated. A person might just want to get to the cruising speed so it doesn't need to constantly monitor the speed.

Tesla is saying that "It may do the wrong thing at the worst time, so you must (...) pay extra attention to the road. (...) Use FSD only if you will pay constant attention to the road, and be prepared to act immediately, (...)"

Anyone supervising it for longer than 15 min will realize that Tesla means it and that it is not some lawyer speak.

The FSD Beta will become dangerous when it will start driving flawlessly for 50h, enough to make people complacent, and crash into a pedestrian on 51h.

I am looking to move from Notion, looking for an alternative. Here are few things I am looking for:

1. It is easy to back up or export my data

2. Great UI! May be its just me, I care about the UI a lot and if it is nice, I seem to be writing more

3. Support for templates, so that I can write daily journal/entries with predefined fields

4. Support for keyboard shortcuts (or mouse-less operations) so that I can link or embed documents quickly

I live in the rust belt and I've been spending a lot of time in a homeless encampment helping people resist forced eviction by the city. The overwhelming majority even of relatively economically deprived people around me have no idea how much people are struggling. Literally out of sight out of mind. Walking in those shoes would be great, but I'd take even basic acknowledgement at this point.
Yes, you can type "man" at a powershell prompt, but it's not an incarnation of man that knows anything about git, despite the limits of what you're able to fathom.

The car market is just too big for one dominant company. It sounds weird to us tech folks because we ruthlessly monopolize everything. Maybe we have something to learn from this.

There are about 1.4 billion cars, and 7 billion smart phones (back of the napkin googling). Compare the number of car manufacturers vs the number of smartphone manufacturers. Compare the number of search engines. Compare the number of social networks. Compare the number of operating systems. Not sure how we got like this.
Higher frequencies require higher voltage though, and this will increase power consumption.
you can go for economic efficiency without the massive increase in income inequality if you spread the wealth to some degree.

This is also ignoring the externalities that Wall Street ignored, like the impact of China now having a bigger economy than the US because we literally built them up. Short term thinking in the name of profit is the root cause. The government should be the check on that type of thinking, but the major corporations have bought off most of the government
Fortunately, they fixed dependency management first, so you can simply stop updating any dependency that adopts generics!
Why sadly?

In my experience, 3D provides a whole extra dimension. (literally and figuratively).

A surprising number of people can't see in 3D though. (For instance, I've met people who thought that autostereograms are some sort of trick gimmick). Is that the case for you perhaps?
serious question: why would anyone care?
Why not. My favourite example is Jane Street, of course, especially when they realised that the language is high-level and pragmatic.

On the other side there is over-complicated and bullshit-infested IOHK projects which failed to deliver for years.

Tech could matter a lot.
Almost all of the videos on Youtube show interventions every couple minutes at least, let's generously say 1 per 5 miles. Do you think off film they're doing 100k miles without intervention for each of those to make up for it?

Reich used the word "revolution" rather loosely. That's OK. It is not a full blown "social revolution" as you point out. But it's certainly not just a blip, nor a "V-shaped" recovery with everything back to normal after nearly 2 years.

On the other hand, how long does it take for social revolutions to unfold? Even "spontaneous" revolutions like the Russian Revolution in 1917 had an ongoing build up that lasted decades. It had a precipitating event (don't remember what it was) that lead to people taking to the streets, but that wasn't the root cause.

Could this change in the labor market be a sign of something deeper bubbling up, or the early beginnings of a social revolution (along with other signals)? Sure, it's at least worthy of consideration.
An interesting parallel, Facebook and Twitter also do not allow downvoting, which may also have similar negative effects as Spotify's lack of dislikes:

https://questioner.substack.com/p/our-violent-era

Well things happening the same way everywhere is a sort of medium with rules.

I worked on ICL computers in the 1970s with 24 bit words made up of four 6 bit bytes. Having just 64 characters limited text output a lot. Having 8 bits was much better and it stuck.

Using 4 or 8 of those is just about address space.

Food poisoning is a horrible comparison because anyone can be done in by food poisoning. If I'm not in a high-risk COVID group, my odds of becoming seriously ill when I eat contaminated food is much higher than my risk of being hospitalized or dying from COVID.
I'm somehow on the same boat as you. I've tried dozens of "fancy" tools but they never stuck. A plain text file, kind of a "flat wiki", that you can search with your text editor may be the grail of note taking. What I consider critical is to "tree-shake" it often to remove the cruft. Hints:

- Tree-shake your notes each time you iterate them. You'll leverage your excitement and it won't be a chore.

- Maintain part of your notes public, it will be a catalyst to polish them. A git repository is perfect for that. Serendipitously, I started a related thread a couple hours ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28895647
If you want to go to Mars, it's way cheaper to get your return fuel from Mars instead of carrying it all the way to Mars from Earth. If you want to get your return fuel from Mars, then you have to make it, there aren't any convenient natural gas deposits that we know of.

This isn't an original SpaceX idea. Robert Zubrin pointed it out back in 1990 with his Mars Direct plan.

> last 5 don't have to work but they also didn't get paid

The last 5, being uncompetitive in car building, ought to choose a different field for which they are competitive. If they don't work, they don't eat and thus drop out of "the game".
Research Math is an inside joke between friends. The jokes fall flat unless you know the same people and attend the same parties.
Ultimately, PoW systems have to hit a scarce resource.

If power became free, it'd change into a race for chips. If we figured out super cheap ways of making chips, the endless race would move to building factories or repurposing land for the whole system. It has to grow until it hits something hard to grow further.

Security of the system depends on using so much resources all the time that an attacker can't waste resources any faster.

I think location plays a role in the decision. If you live in SV, then maybe it would be worth switching in a few years. If you're just about anywhere else, I would say that $250k is great and not to look anywhere else. Either way, $180k straight out of college is awesome.

When it comes to media especially, I don't really like the idea of depending on a company that serves me at their pleasure.
What will likely happen is that the users will design generic libraries themselves. There will likely be a couple, and eventually they will converge on the most useful features. Then the Go team can just get inspiration from that I guess.

I'm excited about the prospect of having iterators. It will enable a different, more consistent programming style.

I'm also hoping for immutable collections, even though the lack of specialization will make it more difficult to implement them efficiently. They would enable a more robust way to build concurrent systems.
It's a way for managers to blame developers for a project's failure despite providing no clear plan or requirements. It's that simple. It is a way to make devs do business shit for free.

I wonder if Breyer was looking at an older version?

The version I'm looking at (https://www.europarl.europa.eu/RegData/docs_autres_instituti...) doesn't include that quote that I can find. Maybe my version is out of date :)

I am cautious about rendering judgement on the actual policy one way or another. The current Whois policy is bad imo, and I don't necessarily trust the EU to make it better, but my very brief skim of the proposal suggests that this is more about enforcing the current policy then making a new one? There may be implementation details I am overlooking.

I think a lot of this depends on what the EU counts as "personal information" that registrars shouldn't publish, which I would assume includes real names, but I'm not an expert on GDPR laws. It would be better if disclosing this information wasn't required at all for registering a domain name, but I'm not sure that the proposal as described makes the situation worse, beyond just cementing it more as something the EU cares about.
Separate but related thoughts:

* Abortion is an issue that transcends labels like "pro-life" and "pro-choice". We ought to look at the issue as having a spectrum of positions (and most people would nuance their position beyond these labels).

* "My body, my choice" seems woefully inadequate here. The individual's body doesn't belong to the state, but having personal autonomy be the highest value doesn't work very well in a pandemic.

* China had a ban on gender preference which was exacerbated by the one-child policy (where there was evidence in some places of forced abortions). A policy that is/was so effective that even with the government encouraging couples to have two children, many are choosing not to because of economic and cultural values.
Depends on the category. Here's an automated high school sports article that likely never had a human touch it.
