By the same logic you've presented, what's the value proposition of the plain-old auto-completion? What's the value proposition of a slick editor? All you need is the built-in notepad and a debugger.

Speaking from my personal experience, I usually write code in TDD style, in which I test the properties of the software I desire upfront, then make it pass with a minimal amount of effort. When I see there's a need for refactoring, I refactor. And I repeat this process until it is done.

The three parts take roughly the same portion of time, and when I'm writing tests, I'm thinking about the functionality and value of the software. When I'm refactoring I'm thinking about the design. When I'm writing the implementation initially, I want it to Just Work™ in the first place, and I find Copilot is great for this matter: why not delegate the boring part to the machine?

The article spends a lot of time explaining how these IOUs can be anonymous, but I don’t understand how it can trustlessly interact with another blockchain.

If I send some bitcoin to it, what guarantees that I will get a valid ‘IOU’ back, in an atomic way? If I cash in an IOU, what guarantees that I will receive the expected bitcoin deposit? Do I have to trust that this new entity won’t just run off with my money?

Regarding 1) on NixOS: you can install steam-run, which runs your program in a regular ubuntu-like environment by linux mount-magic (it just creates a directory structure with programs placed under /usr and the like). It works well for ordinary programs, and you can also specify specific dependencies.

> how do I render as little as possible at a time, but also render everything/anything in the list "immediately" or as fast as possible.

Isn’t that the constraint of basically any rendering system?

The html page itself — I want to only render what’s on screen, but still scroll down quickly

video games — I want to render only what’s in sight, but still turn quickly and render appropriately

Windows — I want to render the visible parts of opened apps, but still switch apps quickly

Etc

This isn’t fundamentally oppositional — it’s the most basic rendering optimization you’d apply (basically view culling), before getting into anything fancy

Deep Learning Tools for Audacity
If you;ve been messing with wordpress - I'd use that - especially if you can develop locally and use one of the 'static' generator plugins - you can update the blog, and spit out a bunch of html / css files - then you can ftp/host a lot of places real cheap and some free - I've heard git pages is an option somehow.

When you convert WP to static you don't need php or many other things running for the server, and apache or whatever can serve the files faster / not have to build them from all the wp and template parts with each request - so a cheap $5 server may be fine.

Of course when you spit out static wordpress you lose the ability for users to add comments to the blog directly, or contact forms, search functions and other such dynamic things..

but if the main goal is to blog or publish and cheap - I think it's a great option - you can always put an email addy on a contact page and tell people if they want to add a public comment to just email you..

this also has the huge advantage of being way more secure - no logins and exploits to worry about.

Not sure why you'd need something like cloudflare, unless you are super focused on the privacy / discovery / harder to hack.. if that's the case watch any kind of email setup or mx records some server setups come with.. surely there are other more private proxy services.

analytics - many cheap shared hosting options with cpanel come with awstats, analog stats, and a couple / few others you can check a box and have them log for you on the server.

I've seen a few others around HN the past year or so, but my bookmarks are unwieldy and I'm sure others can chime in on those faster.

If you are really looking for privacy first all around, probably need to be careful about where you setup domain name registering, and make sure the whois is hidden upon registration.

> Once again, if the stock price outpaces profits, it is because the investors are expecting FUTURE profits.

This is just false. We live in a world where stock trading occurs based on at least 3rd order derivatives. My belief about her belief about his belief can drive me buying or selling stock.

I don't have to believe anything about future profits, I only have to believe that you believe that somebody else believes something about future profits.

But I don't even have to believe that. I can simply have an expectation that I can surf the volatility of a given stock, without regard for its "underlying causes", and make a profit doing so.

You don't actually think all those hedge fund quants do is some fancy computation of expected future profit, do you?

> The people who believe it is not based on (expected future) profits are in for a rude awakening. If the expected future profits don't materialize, the stock tanks.

The people who are no longer playing the simplistic game are already gone when that happens.
Ask HN: Should my YAML tags start with caps? Use hyphens?
Working on yet another CMS and want to know best practice for YAML. Should my YAML tag names, some of which are several word, use mixed case for readability, or all lowercase, or what? Surprisingly, the standard (https://yaml.org/spec/1.2.2/) is silent on how to represent identifiers, although most of their examples are all lowercase.

One option is embedded caps with hyphens:

Exclude-Dirs:
- *.css
- *.go
- backup

Or all lowercase, for consistency and ease of typing? It's a bit harder to scan in a long listing.

exclude-dirs:
- *.css
- *.go
- backup

I'm going to avoid the programmery compound words, like this, because I'm angling somewhat for the power user, as opposed to programmer, audience:

# Nope
excludedirs:
- *.css
- *.go
- backup

YOU are raising some valid points... but based on the OP's other comments, they seem to have a very limited knowledge of statistics--and yet, they are pushing a very critical line on this topic.

OP is asking other posters to do quite a bit of homework for them... As in, "Is this study big enough?" <<YES>> "OK, but how big does it need to be to prove X?" ... At a certain point, it seems clear that OP is not arguing in good faith, because they feel compelled to make the critical statements, first, without understanding the topix.

I would caution you to not extend sympathy to OP's cause, simply because you happen to share a critical eye for this study. There is a HUGE difference between being right for the right reason, vs the wrong reason... and that's how we get crap like Ivermectin for COVID.

I think refers to Nixon/Kissinger's move in befriending China after the Sino-Soviet split.

The author says:

> Instead, rather than attempting to challenge and contain Russia and China along their borders and coastal seas, the United States should pursue some limited accommodations of their vital interests either by diplomacy or unilateral actions. In my next article, I will discuss a new, forward-thinking proposed U.S. national security strategy that has the potential to divide and disrupt the Sino-Russian military alliance and ensure our national survival.
This got me curious what I'd read about domain names and visual normalization of Unicode, and found this: http://www.unicode.org/Public/security/revision-05/confusabl...

It might be useful for editors and compilers to check for tricky Unicode (lookalikes for common characters, atypical changes in direction, invisible spaces or other formatting control codes, etc.) in this era of copy/paste coding.

> I didn't use any OEM partition to reinstall.

If you wipe, its OK, but if you dont, the partition may be used by Windows, even if you install fresh from an image you prepared yourself.
> Uh, that is exactly my point. You know that you were just arguing that they were unique operating systems, right? You don't see how the comparison totally undermines that position?

I never said they were unique operating systems. I said we have more choice now than we ever with regards to Unix-like systems and I said they were distinct platforms, code bases, even upstreams. All of which is true. I have no interest in entering a philosophical question of what changes constitute a "unique operating system" however we can at least have a technical discussion about choice and build of the Unix-ecosystem.

> > ...while proclaiming that Unix was more diversified in the 90s...

> I'll never understand why anyone bothers fabricating strawmen in thread based mediums - I never made that claim, and that is plainly obvious to anybody who has the ability to scroll up.

All these comments you make of strawman arguments and now I can see that the original reason for our disagreement was that you replied arguing a different point to me from the outset!

I was only ever talking about Unix-like platforms (given we're talking about Linux ABI) and you misunderstood that post to think we were talking about operating systems in the broader sense. In fact the language I used should have made the scope explicit so I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt here that you weren't intentionally just pulling an asshole move of subtly changing the scope to win a different argument (which is the very definition of a straw man -- since we're already arguing about who's trying to pull a straw man)

> I have a hard time believing that you could, in good faith, read "there were way more operating systems in use then" and honestly think "oh, he is obviously only talking about Unix!"

I was though. You were the one who replied to my point where I was only talking about Unix so good faith would dictate you continue with the same scope and context as the conversation started out with. So yes, I did assume you were still only talking about Unix. Because that's what the conversation was about prior to you joining it.

-----

If we are to discuss your point then I agree there are fewer operating systems in general. And I agree that is a great loss. I'm also happy to talk at lengths about that too..... but I don't really see what relevance that has within a discussion about whether yet another POSIX kernel will "become the next Linux" because even if Kerla was to "become the next Linux" it still wouldn't satisfy your argument about diversity. So why make it in the first place?

Like I said before, I'm using a lot of good faith here assuming your misunderstanding was a genuine one and that you weren't intentionally trying to derail the conversation.

PhD studies vary a lot depending on (1) the type of CS you're doing and (2) the part of the world you're in. Depending on these factors, a PhD can mean completely different things.

(1). Theory CS is very different from more applied topics. If you're planning to do theory, in my opinion, the main criterion should be whether you enjoy (and are good at) deep CS theory, something much closer to discrete mathematics than software. Can you enjoy it, for a long time, even if there is no practical application in sight? In this case you will indeed optimize for paper publication (although as you get more and more theoretical, the quality of your papers will matter more than quantity, and people will publish less generally, with fewer authors per paper, so you may even get judged by people who actually read your papers). Also, transitions to industry are generally easy, but your PhD will often be less valuable than the 4-7 years you spent on it. On the plus side, I feel that theory research depends more on your own abilities and a bit less on external factors (well connected advisor, strong research group, access to resources, luck getting the right coauthors).

If you have a specific branch of CS in mind, it's a good idea to check the match between that field and the school you apply to. All rankings are bad but http://csrankings.org/ can actually give you a decent first idea of what people in your school do.

(2). PhD studies mean very different things in different parts of the world. For example, in Europe, there are often few or no course, no exams (research only), tuition is generally negligible, and stipend vary hugely ($0.5k to $2.3k/mo net). In North America, tuition can be a big issue, you often take classes, and at top schools exams will be very much a fearsome filter. An American PhD's value varies accordingly.

The best thing would be to talk to some students in the programme before enrolling, to get a better idea.
I explicitly stated in my response that behavior would change in response to tax policy changes. Why state that as if I didn't lead with that?

There's 0 chance that capital gains will drop from 1T to much less than 500B, or that buybacks go to 0. You think people will suddenly never sell their assets because the tax rate is higher?

Dividends are already taxed at 20% for most people, yet companies still pay dividends. So why wouldn't they do buybacks at a 20% tax rate?

Even if you cut projections in half, it's more than enough to fund.

And it seems like you're not aware of the legislation. The budget bill brings back the SALT deduction, which will reduce tax revenue by 100B/year.

That single provision alone is almost enough to fully fund the (pared down) bill.

Facebook pays extremely well, I mean like close to snd often over a million dollar for many L7/M2+ folks annually in total atm.

The way I see it is that the pay is so high because otherwise no-one would go work there. It's the ultimate ethics and moral test. So the company keeps aggregating certain types of people.

Meaning a lack of diversity from that aspect.

Hopefully we can use this failure of globalization to finally take a step back and acknowledge globalization has been a net-negative for the majority of Americans.

Original RPi0 supposedly can idle at 0.4W, where-as the 3 (whose cpu this is based on) idles at >1.5W. It's cool to have this great small package, but this is a very different offering than the first RPi0W.

It's felt really weird seeing so little progress in available low power ARM over the years. Atmel/Microships SAMA5D3 / SAMA5D2 with it's 600 MHz Cortex A5 (2009) still seems like- half a decade latter- one of a rare few genuinely low power Linux running SoC available for purchase/use. I'm forgetting what's available in the Cortex A7 line, which is a little higher power but which still has some very low power chips available for it, & at significantly higher performance ranges. A7 has a lot of chips you can't buy, only available in some tablets & or hard to get wearable chips, but I think there are some good offerings about too. ST has the ~$20 STM32MP1, to name one.

Yet I just see so much non-materialization, non-availability. It feels like the rule. 2015's Cortex A35, 2016's Cortex A32, 2019's Cortex-A34... none of these chips seem to have really materialized in any genuinely available form. There are some off-brand tablets with A35 chips but generally that's about it. The low power segment has been rather ignored.
We still don't know the origin of virus and yet you believe that China handle it well. Look at Sweeden, or Denmark. No restrictions and it is perfectly fine.

> experimental bias isn't really an issue, here... This was an observational study, with crystal clear objective criteria for coding the dependent & independent variables.

I have no position on this particular study, but in general you can make your coding as simple and objective as you like and it won't do much about experimental bias. Objective processing of bad data isn't better than subjective processing of bad data.

In comparison, the people treating the job as a stepping stone developed things for their CV, rather than for the good of the organisation.

I can see how your experience can also be true however.

2. Not well documentation in web apps.

3. Files that are blank or just say that you need to enable JavaScripts, without any documentation or alternate protocols links.

Generics took several iterations from the Go team to finally land on the current (pretty good, imo) design. I might expect error handling to also require multiple tries before it sticks. And we should probably wait for the dust to settle on generics a bit before proposing another design for error handling.

I've got nothing to say about what the actual cause is, but I see many lines of thought go this direction and don't think they are credible.

Not everything is a simple linear effect. There are all kinds of interactions that do not have a simple linear correlation between the amount of cause and the degree of effect.

Climate and the effects on various things we care about are particularly complex and full of these sorts of interactions. There is no inherent reason to doubt global warming is a plausible cause for something just because it took place (relatively) suddenly.

Is global warming the cause in this specific instance? I have no idea. But discounting the idea just because the river didn't slowly get lower over the past decade or two is not reasonable.
