I'm curious how much time you're spent "doing monads" compared to reading about monads. The reason that I bring this up is that monads didn't click for me until I had hands on experience with a few different monad instances and could see the abstraction take shape in different ways. If that doesn't apply to you, that's ok too. It's fun to understand other people's methods of conceptualization.
Most ponzy and other schemes start with credibility. I congratulate Sam on having even more money borne out of the same.

How does moving to the Enterprise plan help?
Yeah, they're actually a pretty crap offering. Between the app buttons on the remote (which serve only a single purpose: interrupting whatever we're watching when my toddler decides to grab the remote and press one of the app buttons), the absolutely AWFUL wifi range (had to get a new AP just for it, even though every other device - in the same room as the Roku but further from the AP - worked fine: iPhone, OnePlus N100, Google Home Mini, Thinkpad, Dell), and the fact that half of the apps on it seem like they would require twice as much processing power as it has to actually be useable...
I tried doing this years ago, and never quite go it to work.

Some of the software involved in that article simply didn't exist yet, and GPUs weren't shipping with SR-IOV support yet (instead, I did Intel iGPU for Linux fbcon, real AMD GPU fed directly to the Windows VM with PCI-E Passthrough). In the end, I bailed on that dream and moved the Linux install to its own smaller machine, and ran Windows bare on the big machine.

The problem was, if the GPU locked up hard, and GPUs back then would not respond to PCI Device Reset, if it wasn't something that merely re-initializing it on VM restart would fix... I had to restart the entire machine, thus defeating the purpose of having Windows in the VM in the first place!

All my long-lived processes now run on the stand-alone Linux machine, and anything that is free to explode runs on my Windows machine. Windows gets wonky? Restart, ssh back into my screen sessions, reopen the browser, restart a bunch of cloud slaved apps, tada.

Oh right, I forgot Europeans never had any slavery... You have to be joking. The entire feudal system was built on the backs of serfs, who were slaves for all intents and purposes.
SmarterEveryDay Creates OSS encryption app
I agree with you completely.

I once made a poster (I wish I'd kept it) where I was tracing out the behaviour of a single mega function with around 50 labels in it, and gotos all over the place.

I worked on a reimplementation, slowly picking apart the function into subfunctions, while loops, recursive function calls, etc. Took me about 2 weeks.
Although somewhat bored of the whole SWE day-in/day-out of problem-solving, I have taken an internal lead role on a data science team for the past while. Controversial to your advice, it has been one of the most mundane, monotonous, and boring work experiences of my life. If feeling worn out or seeking a new creative spark with software, the data science space has been the absolute opposite.
What qualifies as a "higher standard of living" to you, that isn't culture specific?

> I do agree that it's ridiculous to assume that we can manage Github's software better than their own engineers

That by itself would be ridiculous, but there's more to it than that. Your GHE server won't have new code deployed to it hundreds of times per day the way github.com does. You probably won't be the target of ddos attacks either.

Very few of github.com outages are the result of maintenance errors.

Tons of people read tweet threads on Twitter, that’s why people and organizations do them. As an author or organization, it’s easy to measure and compare audiences between the two channels (Twitter and website) and see this.

The two channels are also not mutually exclusive. Tweet threads can get turned into articles if they get traction, or vice versa.

Some narrative-driven adventure game with some light RPG elements.

I came across Ink because I imagined that integrating some concepts from old Adventure Game Books might make for richer role-playing experiences than we typically see in mainstream RPGs.

Then I discovered that Inkle's own Sorcery! games already did all of that, and it did actually provide for a rich role-playing experience where your choices matter.

Rock Paper Shotgun had an article "How Little Choices Make Sorcery! Feel Epic" [0] that I came across in my research that explains better than I could why their system works so well.

ChoiceScript [1] and Yarnspinner [2] are two other tools I looked at.

It never got off the ground though. I see GitHub is hosting a game-jam in November. Perhaps it would be an opportunity to revisit the idea (depending on the theme)...

Yeah to those still adamant about it, if you've ever used a:

- function call

- if sentence

- any kind of loop

You've used a GOTO under the hood. I hope you can live with yourself, you monster :)
You misunderstand - the MacOS software stack can only scale the UI to 1x,2x, 3x. So you can either use 4K display at 2X scaling, which gives you fullhd worth of realestate with Retina resolution. Or you can use it at 1x, ehich gives you tiny icons.

When you use 'looks like 2560/qHD', then the OS renders to a virtual surface, pretending it has a 5K screen attached. Then it downscales that image, and outputs it. The result is janky straign lines, blurry'er text, etc.

Modern Windows and Android render their UI natively in any resolution, and so you don't get issues. The caviat is that windows has 3 UI frameworks, and the oldest one is still found is some places, that's the one that doesn't scale.

I agree.

Given the author's interest in language and technical projects, I think they should add Sales Engineer & Solutions Engineer to the list.

> Tokyo taxis have world class service, and it is perhaps not a coincidence that Uber has only a tiny presence there

Funny you mention this. I actually had a bad taxi experience in Japan of all places: asked the hotel to call for one multiple times, 40 minutes later it never showed up, so I requested an Uber, and got a car in 5 minutes (this was in Kyoto, though, not Tokyo)
The best model for friendship I've heard as an adult is the "campfire model". It was explained in a Reddit comment that I can't find these days, but I will paraphrase below:

"I treat all of my friends as if I'm sitting alone in the wilderness, tending to my campfire. If they come by and want to stay for a while, that's nice, but if they have to go on I understand. Sometimes I go and visit their campfires, but then I have to leave."

It's not possible to have friends in adulthood the way they were had in youth; adults have responsibilities, families, and near-complete identities that clash against the demands of a highly-involved social group with lots of friends.

I think it's better that way. One or two close friends that you can trust for the rest of your life will be better than many new friends that have to be kept track of.
> granted to a corporation by granting it its special, fictive-person, liability-shielding status.

There is no such thing. This is such a silly argument made by people who have no understanding of corporate liability laws.

Incorporating doesn't suddenly shield you from liability. If you were negligent or intended harm, you will be held personally liable. If you're a shareholder and knew what was going on, you will also be held liable. The issue is not incorporation, it's a government too timid to enforce the law.
I have this theory that there is an direct relationship between intellect and doing really stupid things. A genius will sometimes do the most idiotic things. Take comfort the next time you do something really dumb because it indicates you are generally very smart.
Also something like the presence of lead in your drinking water has strong, demonstrated effects on IQ for example. Some of the poorest communities in the US by the way have some of the highest lead contents in their water supplies BTW.

YOU find it weird and jarring. But don't worry even if you don't get used to it plenty of other people are fine with it. Generationally speaking, this appears to be a gradual shift that can't be stopped.
To be fair, Keeping a lot of stock for yourself and self-promotion is also how successful startup founders make money.

The pump and dump aspect is that the reasons given why anyone should value the token are flimsy. If they were solid then it would just be a good investment.

There is a mechanic at the heart of investment that, purified of anything resembling social worth, becomes a gambling game that people can play for fun, despite knowing that it has no other value.
I'm not sure where the irony is, since Google doesn't have a captive app store, unlike say Apple.
You're assuming left vs right, The only side that feels there is some universality here is the right. The left is HIGHLY fragmented - always has been, always will be. That gives people on the right this messed up "silent majority" notion that just isn't true.
In the group where I did my PhD, one of the professors would do this (but without pre-announcing). He would start with really basic questions and gradually build up to more complex questions.

This was great for two reasons: 1. it builds up large common ground for understanding; 2. if someone in a leadership position does this, others will not feel ashamed of asking questions that they think may be basic.

“Europe’s Digital Future? Free and Open Source Software,” Says MEP Kolaja
While there's nothing exactly like it yet, we did consider the ways that many similar systems work. There's a lot of similarities, even though I do think Editions end up being meaningfully distinct.

I totally agree, but as someone who has a lot of flexibility to set my own schedule I probably don't have as much awareness of the pain points of the current system.

The reality is that days get too damn short in the winter and any system of time zone switching is going to run into that limitation somewhere.

If I were dictator I would switch us to permanent standard time and normalize the concept of seasonal hours (which should be—but frustratingly often isn't—a lot less painful in the era of the internet).

You could even extend the concept of seasonal hours to making work days shorter in the winter and longer in the summer (not a new idea: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_clock).
I mean red states are more rural which alone would account for more subsidies.

But regardless, seems like you’re all for redistribution of wealth unless it goes to the political “undesirable”?

You just made a great argument against redistribution - it’s too fraught with politics.
Eh, this is not always and everywhere true. I have friends at Google here in London and some of the salary figures I've heard are shockingly low. As in, sub-or-around-100k low. Though admittedly these are people who I'd guess are below, say, L5.
It's extremely accurate.

Almost all kids who are in accelerated programs are there because they already HAVE extra resources at home. These are the people who are going to be ahead anyway. I'd rather lift the bottom up first, which is where the opportunity to benefit society the most lies, and then worry about using additional resources on the top.

Fauci funded COVID-19: https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/nih-admits-funding-gain-f...
Sure, and I will admit that my example wasn't stupendous there (that's what I get for trying to reply on a phone).

What makes this more complicated (and granted you might not be doing this if your goal is to clone Mario) is when you need to combine forces together. In that case, the change in velocity comes from acceleration, and the change in acceleration comes from the summation of forces in X and Y directions. Obviously the actual calculation is trivial, just simple arithmetic, but the knowledge of what's going on, and how to expand on it is not. If you wanted to make Joust, for example, you need to know all this stuff about forces, or at least I did when I cloned Joust a million years ago. I agree that Wikipedia has a way of complicating things, and it's possible that even without formal training in calculus that you would have rediscovered what I described, and that's totally fair, but that's still calculus! You're still doing calculus, you just didn't realize it at that point.

Of course if you need more accurate physics in your games (unlikely for a basic platformer), you would need to use a more advanced integration method, e.g. RK4 or Adams Bashforth.

I apologize if I came off slightly gatekeepey; I should be clear that I don't particularly care if you know the name of these methods. I'm just saying that these methods are calculus concepts, and as such having an understanding of calculus can help you with that.

It may be an unusual preference, but I don't think there's anything wrong with it. Maybe he drives an inexpensive car and can afford to repair/replace it himself, so he doesn't want to pay the premium to insure against that risk.
actually Apple is more likely to recognize the bullshit situation we are in with smart tvs these days and just fix it. They will offer a very closed, but functional tv service that has the things you want, with the choices you want to make, without the garbage, for a premium price, accessible on premium hardware (and other devices where possible).

Not all people that use this site will have undergone the same sort of intellectual journey into race as those of us in more diverse areas. True tolerance would be to understand that not all people in the HN demographic come from places like the US that are true melting pots. There was no evidence of racist thinking in the OP's remarks, and you don't have to go about suggesting there was to make the point you're attempting to make.
I see a lot of flak for this comment but I will say first hand it is true that you can study to pass FAANG interviews and double your salary (in the US). I spent 7 months studying during covid and finally made the leap. Obviously not everyone has the time to commit to studying (I almost burned out doing just 10 hours a week on top of my 9-5) but it is in the realm of possibility.

And the big tech cos have been constantly hiring and are mostly accepting full remote. Even during covid I readily had interviews lined up with FB/Google/Amazon.
I once give a laptop as a birthday present on a weekend trip with my girlfriend, traveling in a small two-seat convertible. I struggled somewhat to figure out how to pack presents without it being obvious I was bringing presents. Fortunately the laptop box was small enough to fit behind the seat.

I don’t why the author needed a small box, but I did think of my experience when I read his anecdote. I think a large part of his appearing impaired is not even attempting to explain his rationales, suspicions or methods in the moment. His goal seems to be to engineer these awkward interactions, when they could be otherwise lubricated or alleviated. He’s acting as though other people and their understanding are irrelevant to him; they are furniture or fixtures that should trust and obey unquestioningly, which is a bit ironic.
Swiss total compensation at companies which pay 400-500k in the US is much lower than that. Unless you are super fortunate to join at the start of a boom cycle when shares are about to double in value or something.

You basically need to be in the US, and in the US in the Silicon Valley, Seattle or NYC, I think, to somewhat reasonably hit 400-500k with just an algorithms interview :-)

> performance anxiety and fear of looking stupid as a beginner as completely separate things

The same kid will happily try riding a bike if you just leave one sitting around where they can find it, but will balk if you ask them to try in front of their friends who already know how. I think a huge part (the majority) of people’s fear of learning new skills is a kind of performance anxiety. Both fear of looking bad in front of others, and to some extent fear of looking bad to themselves. The other significant problem is an inability to break the new skill down into small enough pieces to manageably tackle independently.

Speaking a language is always and inevitably a performance. But kids are typically given much more time and space to just listen without trying to speak, and are judged less when they do try. Some kids who move to a new country will just quietly listen for months before ever trying to say something in the new language; adults rarely have that luxury.

But in any event, there are plenty of adults who are willing to try speaking foreign languages imperfectly, and studies have shown children and adults have comparable ability to learn a second language (indeed adults often improve faster at the start).
If physicalism is true, then there is nothing here to explain. If physicalism is not true, then there is nothing here to explain.

Biologists used to talk about a "vital force". Alive things had it, dead things didn't. Now biology is mature enough to recognize that there is no such force. People chasing consciousness are in the position of the biologists who insisted, in the face of biochemistry, that there was still a vital force.

There is a physical phenomenon: we observe people insisting there is such a thing as consciousness. Why do they do this? That is something an explanation could address. Not everybody insists. Are people who don't not conscious? What is common to everybody who insists, and also everybody they insist it about? They all observe themselves experiencing, and act on those observations. So, if there is anything to be defined, it is probably defined by that.

We could make a machine that perceives, and perceives itself perceiving. If that machine would not be described by insisters as conscious, I would expect a reason why not.
You're forgetting about FICA/Social Security which can be as high as 12.4% of AGI for every dollar earned below $150k or thereabouts. A stay-at-home spouse doesn't pay social security but nonetheless benefits from it (and in certain states, can do so tax free) upon retirement or death of the breadwinner. That's not a discount available to an individual taxpayer or a double-income household.

Filing as married allows for higher tax exemptions, in many cases around double the individual tax exemptions. For a high earning breadwinner this is as much as twice the "normal" buffer of untaxed income for investment before incurring a phase-out. If both spouses were high earning there wouldn't be much of a difference between the average exemption per spouse and the exemption provided to an individual taxpayer. Sometimes it's even less than if each spouse had filed seperately.
As an interesting alternative, imagine that the site asked you to print out a random number on a piece of paper and (within a 2 hour window, for example) film yourself holding it in front of a building or landmark that you claim is within 100 miles of your home.

You could cover your face during the filming, or temporarily affix the paper to some surface, like a tree, and then upload your video clip to a selection of randomly chosen existing members who would cross-reference your location with Google street view, and try to check that the image isn't a deep fake.

Of course people would eventually start offering a paid service of carrying out this process on behalf of the bot farmers, but the algorithm could demand that your filming location not be somewhere that a lot of people have already used for their recordings, which would push up the cost of someone trying to create multiple identities locally to them.

Also, offering this location spoofing service could be classed as (conspiracy to commit) fraud, and the risks of getting caught by going to a specific location at a specific time as part of a sting operation should be pretty high, and not worth being paid minimum wage for.
