Families yes, but I nees to push back against the idea of national tradition and ethnic homogeneity mattering here.

The nation thing is very much not the case for Germany and Switzerland at least. France more, and for homogeneous population maybe the nordics but the myth of the ethnically homogeneous long nation state is something that I mainly hear from conservative/right wingers who want to claim diversity doesn't work (not implying you are, just in general). The comparison with a colonial overlord carving out a centralised nation is also not too relevant, except that I agree that was bad and trying to impose European civic systems without also building the infrastructure and economy to support them doesn't work?

But Germany the nation was born in the late 19th century (Bismarck, Prussia taking over etc) and modern Germany has a complicated relationship to the old nation and nationalism in general. In Switzerland, they are literally 4 ethnic groups with regional fracfionalism tied together by will and democratic traditions, any ethnic stuff doesn't really apply there.
Easily the worst DLC in the game. I replayed it around 2017, a few years before ME:LE came out and it's basically some horde survival modes and timed killing sprees. ME1 didn't age well in general (it's kinda like Half-Life 1 - it had some good parts, but "was innovative when it came out but just doesn't play well to modern sensibilities") and this DLC was the worst part of it.
Windows has some of the best backwards compatibility around. Stuff from the 90s still works on Windows. Meanwhile macOS deprecated all 32 bit programs.
Another instance where pirated games provide a better experience.

Are these instances getting more common or am I just more aware of them?
I'll second that. I've done options trading, trend following, and HFT. Often you need smart people to do simple things, but they are still simple things. Gotta remember there's a lot of noise in financial data, and you don't actually have as much of it as people think. Even all the ticks on all the exchanges fit in a few GB of binary per day.

RenTech is especially good at acting like they're from another planet, which I'm sure helps them attract those stellar mathematicians.

There's no blanket ban on "anti competitive behavior", and similarly no rule that says small businesses are owed a leg up.

The FTC breaks down anti competition regulation into monopoly-related conduct, which this is obviously not because telegram is a complete non-factor in the messaging space, and horizontal conduct, which this is not because telegram has no near-peer companies with whom they agree not to compete.
At my local drop zone one of our pilots posted this video as a reminder of why we let the pilot know when we have large groups leaving the plane. Large groups outside like this can starve the elevator of airflow, and the sudden change in center of gravity is also a factor.

This seems like a weakness of a king air as a jump plane. The pilot has to throttle down the left engine so jumpers aren’t thrown into the tail on exit by the prop wash. I’m happy with our single-engine super caravan with its wide door so not so many people have to be outside to do big groups like this.
I think there are some problems with package managers, and with the culture around NPM in particular, but I think almost everyone would agree that simple and standardized code reuse has been a massive boon to software engineering as a whole.

Do you dislike cargo as well or just npm for some reason?

Rumor is they use magic.
> Most languages have their own sort rules, and some languages have multiple sorts depending on the specific usage!

That is true. However, it's also obviously true that a sort order that tries to take all of these into account, instead of using the rules of the current user's language, is obviously useless, so I don't understand why you think it's a meaningful objection. Users are surprised and annoyed by an inability to sort names.
Google still hires people even if one interviewer rejects them, so at least the people doing statistics there knows the difference between having 1 rejection, no rejections and how well each interviewer performs.

But I agree, I interviewed some at Google and we can see the stuff that happened in every other interview. And I was really surprised many times, ultimately I realized that I can't really make good judgements based on an hours worth of data and stopped caring.

In my opinion, Python is good but for a job, it may require experience than Python. Frontend (JavaScript) is a good place to start. In general, when you work with frontend, you will get exposed to other concept of the system, backend, database and so on; also if you are more interested in design, you can go to product design from frontend; maybe you want to go mobile, you can do that as well. It is a good place to start your career.
> Research shows more diverse teams deliver better results.

FYI, there's plenty of nuance in the research that people like to gloss over. My understanding is that diversity of background / experience improves team performance. But having a diversity of values amongst your team decreases performance.

For example, if you form a diverse team where some people care about profits above all else, and other people care more about doing good in the world, the team will become less effective. Its really hard to use this research when hiring because a lot of values questions (like "who did you vote for?") are somewhere between creepy and illegal to ask.

Source: I used to work with someone who had a PhD in psychometric assessment. People saying "diversity=good" was one of her bug bears. I haven't read the research myself.

I'm a bit astounded that the author has a PhD and is seriously proposing that time travel is the source of the correlation in an Arduino-based "time machine" and hasn't really explored any other options like the pseudorandom number generator being inaccurate.

How does this get on HN and does anyone actually believe it?

EDIT: I'm looking through the preprint PDF and it looks like they selected the future action (how long to expose for) using the last bit of the previous observation as a random seed (see page 9).

That will of course create a correlation from the past event to the future action, and they use that correlation to try to claim that the future action is impacting the past observation. It's 100% bogus and terrible science.

I don't know how they could possibly not see an issue with using the very measurement they're trying to find a correlation with as the source of randomness for deciding the future action instead of literally any other pure RNG available. It really seems like they were maliciously creating that correlation for academic clout, job prospects, etc.
It's not a choice. This comment is only possible from ignorance. It's fine not to know things. It's not fine not to know things and talk about them, and worse, other people, anyway.
Back in the 1980s the barriers were relative low to run a BBS. A computer, a phone line, and a modem.

Since the vast majority of BBSs only had one modem and one phone line, virtually all imposed a time limit on how long you could connect (often 30 - 60 minutes depending on the board).

Different BBSs had different focuses. Most had some sort of message forum. Many had different "doors" or games like Tradeswars or The Pit or huge variety of other ones. These games were multiplayer in the sense that you would take your turns each day against other people who would also log in and play. There were also file forums, where people could upload and download software, often trading "cracked" games and warez.

ANSI art was also huge back then. There were whole organizations devoted to creating ANSI art (some of which was pretty insane). UAA is one that comes to mind:

https://16colo.rs/pack/uaa4-93/

There were also several BBSs devoted to hacking and phone phreaking, which stands to reason since most BBS users back then were techies (modem and BBS use was not widespread in the 80s). Back then, the laws didn't keep up with the technology, and a lot of activities that today can land you in jail for decades weren't even crimes. Eventually the laws caught up and by 1990 and Operation Sundevil you had a lot of old school hacker BBSs closing up as it wasn't worth the risk.

It was the wild west back then, a bygone era!

I used to have a bunch of film that needed developing. So did others in my family. Unfortunately, I couldn't always afford processing. Digital doesn't have that. I have a phone, which means I have a camera. Even if I lose photos, I've been able to enjoy them for a period of time.

As a bonus, being able to freely take photos means that I've personally become a better photographer.
Matrix is, unfortunately, a UX catastrophe compared to Telegram.

Telegram has the best messaging app by UX and it's not even close. It's fast, reliable and it just works.

Try getting your mother to use Matrix. Verifying sessions of chat participants is such a disgusting user experience I wonder if they employ /any/ graphic or UX designers.

I reply to someone who compares some warning over eating tomatoes with the totally unrelated drugs problem, making it even more irrelevant by dragging mental health into it, and then you reply with some positive spin on opiates? Because we use them under medical supervision for pain relief? What is this? The Taliban's PR agency?

And about your precious opiates: remember what happens when they're used freely. Just look for 30s at this clip starting at 4:08, then look in the mirror and repeat your opinion.

So should we teach the students how to write make files before we allow them to write first line of code?
Well, the reaction needs a compressor, followed by a pipe reactor loaded with catalyst, followed by an expander, followed by an ammonia droplet seperator/condenser.
That result is then fed back to the input along with more educts, and side-products are siphoned off slowly to prevent their accumulation.

The expander is there because you increase the percentage of ammonia that will condense by both lowering the temperature and lowering the pressure, which an ideal expander is very good at.

You'd prefer if that expander can power the compressor, with this setup being essentially a gas turbine with exhaust rebreathing and the combustion chamber replaced with a giant tube reactor filled with catalyst.
I'm on linux since y2k, and I attest. "Nothing works by default" is the default system behaviour of systemd distros on anything, but the most standard x86 system.

I worked with laptop makers, and systemd manages to brick the system in ways not even imaginable on regular init. No HDA codec, and pulseaudio hangs DBUS? Brick. Systemd's agetty analog not seeing serial port? Brick...

> xorg to the ditch where it should've been 10 years ago and that pipewire (or whatever) sorts out the audio problems (like they should've been sorted out 20 years ago).

I would argue that Pipewire can make a decent display server, way better than what Wayland currently offers for just the way it manages IPC.

> If you look at successful open source projects, you will see that all of them have thousands of bug reports open, and most of them will never be even touched by a developer. You simply can not imply anything about the quality of an open source software project by that metric, only that it's a successful.

Proper open source projects fix their bugs bugs. GNOME had millions of users at the peak, and it's core projects seen under 100 bugs. And that's for a major C codebase. SystemD on other hand, manages to go through several major releases with unfixed memleaks. I can only have unflattering words about its quality, and project maintenance practices. I have simply no other words: It's garbage, utter garbage.
Signal is similarly backrolled by wealthy benefactors from Whatsapp, so this "benevolence" is not unique.

That doesn't mean you shouldn't be suspicious though, because Signal is a cautionary tale already (MobileCoin debacle and closed source server code).
Dr. Dobb’s Journal, June 1985. Information Age Issues by Dean Gengle:

My first experiences with a modem, a microcomputer, a television set, and a telephone linked together—with me in the loop—were much like my first discoveries regarding the true significance of portions of my own anatomy. These experiences combined the joys of intellectual insight, emotional pleasure, physical involvement, and all the wonder we associate with the notion of “surprise.”

I conducted my early experiments in on-line living with no
misgivings at all. I was able to consider only the positive
possibilities contained in this new technical capability. Mo-
democracy! Distributed networks! Grass roots anticipatory
guidance systems! It all seemed within reach if only every¬
one would use these tools. The sheer weight of the new
experiences themselves bolstered my initial faith that folks
would come to use these tools in the “right” way.

I remember distinctly the moment when the inevitable
mental disappointment occurred and reality set in
about six weeks after my first modem fix (ca 1980). I was
logged on a local bulletin board system (BBS). 1 had just
finished entering a private reply to a particular message;
it was meant to go directly to another user of the system.
On my screen flashed “Hi.” Weird response. Commands
issued to the remote computer no longer worked. Instead,
the system operator (sysop) had taken over and was typ¬
ing messages at me directly.

“I’ve been watching your session,” he wrote, in the
most casual and matter-of-fact manner. “Thought I’d say
hello.” In that instant, the scales fell from my eyes, so to
speak. My illusion of privacy was shattered, an illusion
maintained without my awareness by a number of sup¬
porting factors. I was working out of my own apartment,
a bedroom with a spare corner space, in fact. What could
be more personal or private? Also, I’ve never had any
reason to think that my phone was tapped, so I’ve always
regarded phone conversations as “private” My modem is
hooked to the phone, ergo .... Besides, the remote com¬
puter system itself reinforced my illusion by allowing
“private” messages between individuals and by requiring
a password to read “mail.”

All along, that sysop might have been looking over my
shoulder, reading what I typed, aware of when and how I
used the system. The implications of that made me decid¬
edly uncomfortable. Since then, I have become aware of
other sysops who’ve turned their computers into dictator-
chips. They not only eavesdrop at will but run their sys¬
tems with the firm style of a Khomeni. (Confess or I pull
out your passwords!) Large systems and small are run this
way. The truly astounding thing is that some people seem
to like that sort of relationship. Still, I hope, there num¬
bers are not great. Not here. Not in the U.S. of A.

This is something Rust is well-suited for (and it's a popular pattern in the Rust community as a result)

Rust can a) enforce that a method is non-mutating on its object, and b) use move-semantics to return a "new" value without doing an actual clone, while preventing the "old" value from being reused elsewhere. So the immutable "builder" pattern works very smoothly and safely
The key takeway is that the simplest handling or names (as an opaque unicode string which is not assumed to be stable or unique or conform to any particular structure) is also the one which have the fewest problems.

The problems arise when you want to do more than just echo the name exactly as entered. Perhaps you want to show only last name in some context - now you assume everyone have a last name, and you are already in trouble.

Of course you can't always get away with treating names as opaque, so this is where you need to be very careful with the assumptions you make. The approach depends on the purpose of registering the name in the first place. For example if the purpose is to identify a person showing showing up to pick up a rental car, you just ask them to enter their name as it is stated on the drivers license. If you want to mail them a letter, ask for the name as it is stated on their mailbox.

There is no one-size-fits-all solution, but instead of worrying about the-artist-formerly-known-as-Prince or tribes communicating only with colored fabric, consider the use case for the name. If you have a web-shop you probably don't have to worry about orphan toddler refugees, but if you write software for hospitals you absolutely have to consider the case where the name is unknown. I'm sure Mr Artist-formerly-known-as-Prince has both a passport, credit card, legal name and drivers license, all with names representable as Unicode characters. The question is which one your application needs.

Btw. I find it amusing when web startups think they need a "web scale" distributed database system in order to be scalable to a billion users, but thinks handling characters outside of the ASCII-range is an obscure edge case which can be ignored.
It’s not quite subsidiarity, at least not in the strict sense you’ve quoted. It’s not so much an organising principle as just how it’s always been done. The central government just doesn’t want to deal with certain problems.

Going back to the 16th century unification of Japan the central government didn’t deal with individuals, they dealt with villages. You didn’t pay tax, the village did, as along as the tax gets paid they don’t really care who’s paying what.

If the central government decides it wants to intervene more directly, there’s not much you can do to stop them. (Except give them the run around/work slow, and hope they don’t care enough to bring in the troops).

I don’t think there’s anything hugely novel in their political structure, the difference is cultural. Design your system however you want, without the cultural commitment it won’t work (see: Liberia adopting the US constitution).

You get around the tall poppy/not rocking the boat problem by consensus building. Japan is very good at collective action problems.

> Most of the ad tracking we see in the web is actually not needed for the targeting part

That’s because the ad and the auction that precedes it, collects data for further targeting.
First real ads that I see is everywhere. From my perspective it's too much of them. There need to be some frequency filter.
And quality of those ads are very bad: casino, crypto channels. Some of those channels have less than 10k subscribers.
I'm not downplaying the seriousness of myocarditis, but that's just the swelling of the heart. Swelling happen all the time on all organs of the body, and it can be triggered by a simple flu too, in fact all diseases trigger some form of swelling.

Myocarditis is also a spectrum, some can have it and not even realize it and some will end up at the ER.

Same here. I've never had a dud in terms of ability when doing a technical chat interview. People who don't know how things work will hit a wall in this format, it's not actually that easy to BS what your thoughts on the CPP memory model are.

The fear of BSers seems to be what holds people back from this approach though, and I can see that it wouldn't work for certain non technical fields.
The Jante law, tall poppy syndrome etc. is quite overblown in my personal experience, but it might have been a thing in prior times. But in modern Germany and Switzerland (where I lived from) I think the systems simply recognises more that the individual is nothing without the collective and tries to put systems into place that make sure single individuals can't co-opt the system (nothing is perfect on this of course, and rent seeking, elite populists ala Trump stirring sentiments etc all exists).

It's the difference between positive and negative freedoms (I think in germany and especially the nordics poor people are much more able to chase their happiness than in the US,in the sense a decent life without homelessnes, fear of bankruptcy due to disease and horrible working conditions is possible, not if you want to become a millionaire).
