See, to me the fact that you can only find true meaning in your life by having children is totally bizarre. Are you somehow not aware that it is simply a biological imperative for you? I'm not having kids, and if I regret it, who cares? My personal feeling of life satisfaction, determined by the biological feeling of wanting to procreate, is not worth the stress put on both myself and the planet of having children. The idea that we must fundamentally be beholden to recreation is a disgusting relic. There are, thankfully, ways to overcome these ways that our monkey brain controls us (ask the Buddhists, for example)

Explain to me exactly how does having children give life purpose any more than drinking beer or writing a piece of music or whatever? It doesn't intrinsically, it is entirely subjective, and it is just another feeling. You can be free of being a slave to that feeling, as many millennials and gen-z, and people throughout history, have discovered.
And Germany is unable to find and pay programmers to make Libre Office better ?
I don't think composer has a diff option to dump the actual code differences before you update yet but yes most of this list comes from my past experience with composer. My current company doesn't use PHP but I look back fondly at how easy it was to audit my dependencies manually and be explicit about upgrades and transitive dependencies.
What do you want the visitor to do after they read your landing?
One of the most important lessons learned by the Haskell community is that we shouldn't worry about whether complete type inference is possible. We should worry about whether type inference can be maintained in the easy cases, while falling back to explicit annotation for the hard cases. All of rank-n types, GADTs, type families, even basic type classes, break complete type inference. The solution has always been to document the limitations, draw as clear a line in the sand as possible, and then go on and introduce those features. This doesn't affect the usability of the language.

What does affect the usability of the language is when (a) the line in the sand isn't very clear from an end-user point of view [see simplified subsumption in GHC 9, for example], or (b) the line is on the wrong side of simple features [see monomorphic local bindings, for example].

I guess what I'm saying is that Idris having minimal type inference is kind of terrible, and the excuse that it's not decidable for dependent types is a flimsy one.
Privately funded telescope to look for habitable planets in Alpha Centauri
From the article:

Alpha Centauri – Earth’s closest neighbouring star system – consists of two sun-like stars, known as Alpha Centauri A and B, and a more distant red dwarf star.

The Toliman mission, named after the ancient Arabic-derived name for the star system, will search for potential planets orbiting Alpha Centauri A and B.

The Toliman telescope, which is under construction, is set to be launched into low-earth orbit in 2023. It seeks to discover new planets in the “Goldilocks orbit” – at the right distance, so the planet is neither too hot nor too cold to sustain life.
...
In collaboration with the University of Sydney, the Toliman mission involves scientists at Saber Astronautics in Australia, and Breakthrough Initiatives and Nasa’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in the US.

“This might be the biggest privately funded space telescope ever built,” Tuthill said.
I'm starting to think centralized moderation is just a bad idea in general for sites of Facebook's size and reach. It doesn't scale well, can't easily adapt to other cultures, and has all sorts of problems with neutrality and subjectivity that are inherent to the very idea of centralized control.

Sites like Reddit, HN, and Stack Overflow do a much better job with crowdsourced moderation via downvotes and flags, community-appointed moderators and the like, though it's true those systems come with their own set problems. A truly decentralized system where each user chooses their own moderation system could be even better in my opinion, at least in theory, but we're some ways off from that being viable from a practical perspective.

You can have both. I know folk who work in healthcare doing SW as they are passionate about health things. You can have it all if you step away from companies that are SW or IT type shops first and look for companies whose core business appeals to you. E.g. a white water rafting company needs SW people too.

I realize it's "low code", I code, but I cannot see how to play with it locally other than the console/REPL example towards the bottom. Will this be available in Excel? Access? Or do I need 'Dataverse'? I will try the console/REPL example.

I work at an engineering firm, and we are stuck with Excel forever. I've tried bringing in Pluto notebooks and Julia (compare with Matlab, etc.), SMath Studio (vs. MathCAD), RStudio, Python, WxMaxima, but to no avail. If Power FX is integrated with Excel and Access, I could see it being useful for us.

Octavian is absolutely early in it's development (currently I think it only supports matmul including all the transposed versions). https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JuliaLinearAlgebra/Octavia... is the benchmark. It uses automatic threading from both MKL and Octavian (although for these sizes, it will only use a few threads). With only one thread, MKL is much closer and is only behind by about 20% at n=25 and roughly equal by n=60. I haven't done timings with MKL_DIRECT_CALL or MKL_DIRECT_CALL_SEQ, but I think that's unfair since Octavian has the same overhead of figuring out how many threads to use.
while true, I think many people struggle to give as deep a purpose to (hiking, being a foodie, knitting) as investing in another person. Not that it isn't possible. Its just a challenge. Not that being a parent isn't a challenge either.

> Right, but who determines what's "harmful"?

Well, it's certainly not determined by some objective standard, or a god. Every culture, and even every individual has different moral views. When I say "do no harm" that's a relative statement, relative to the context and parties involved. What's morally apporiate changes depending on the moral contract between parties. I can call my drinking buddy a "fucking idiot" for making a mistake, and there's no harm done. But if I call my grandmother a "fucking idiot", it would harm her a great deal. What's harmful in one context may be fine in another. Morality is like an instinct that humans have evolved to allow us to detect when something may be considered harmful to ourselves, our partners, our community and our planet. It's not always an infallible sense, but it's often pretty good and useful to pay attention to.

Back to your question: who determines what's harmful? Our innate sense of morality has evolved to show us what's harmful and what's not. The more each of us focuses on listening to and improving our own sense of morality and harm, the better we'll be at making decisions that avoid harm as a society and as a species. Ultimately, I'm a humanist, and one of my favorite quotes about morality is GK Chesterton's response when asked to write an article answering the question, "What's wrong with the world?". His response, "Dear sir, I am."

One reason I don't concern myself too much with the morality of others, is that the only person's morality I am responsible for determining is my own.

You are right that Microsoft Office, Google Apps, and Libre Office are all fine for 98% of all users' needs.

Microsoft office does more. If I were to produce a book with proper front matter and index, glued together from multiple chapter documents, I would choose Word. But Microsoft Office does not work collaboratively as well as Google Apps, which were born cloud-based. Microsoft Office is laggy and fails completely with large numbers of collaborators (i.e. 20+ simultaneous editors). But these use cases are for 2% of users.

Gotta love all these comments about censorship but not a peep that FB/Twitter were running a huge censorship campaign against Trump last year - like covering up the fact that Biden's son was fucking underage girls on camera and was under multiple federal investigations for corruption.

Also, funny the same people here talking about freedom are the very first people to declare you must be wearing a mask and be vax'd with boosters and a return to lockdowns.

You are all posers.
Personally I think it feels kinda dystopian for an AI to be deciding what human beings are allowed to say; _especially_ if it's highly effective.

There was a comment from another user I favorited a while back which reflects my thoughts on the topic of AI-driven moderation pretty well[1]:

> I find censorship via algorithms extremely scary. There will be false positives and false negatives and there is absolutely zero recourse. Censorship by algorithms is a perfect expression of bureaucracy. In perfect bureaucracies, responsibilty is spread so thinly that it's impossible to determine who is responsible for a mistake. With algorithms, there's actually no human on the hook at all. Are you going to blame the programmers?

> By all means, use machine learning to flag posts so humans can look at them. But automating the removal of content and the banning of human users is a road I strongly suspect we will regret going down. If the volume of content is sufficient so that you need to use algorithms to remove human-generated content then I'd say it's time to reconsider whether that content should be removed at all.

> You know, if someone told me to stop saying something about a historical figure because they'd "rather focus on their positive sides"

This is the most fragile strawman I've seen in a while. That's not what I said at all. I did not say we should stop talking about bad parts of the history. That would be literally be a totalitarian state.
> being an employee (in the UK) resulted in significantly more taxes than being self-employed

Why would this be the case? I'm not challenging your claim, I'm just curious. Is the idea that the UK wants to give tax breaks to small businesses?

> Europeans almost never have comparable healthcare costs to the USA, so that part isn't universally true either.

Not sure about self-employment, but American professionals take home (i.e., after taxes, healthcare, and retirement/pension) considerably more than their European counterparts. To the parent's point, it's quite a lot more difficult for an ordinary (i.e., not-self-employed) American professional to get wealthy by following the approach outlined in this article, but it's quite a lot harder still for our ordinary European professional.
Well lower class experience is terrible in its own unique ways whether in India/US/Singapore or any place else.

> These people have no rights and any protesting ends them up in Changi or shipped back somewhere else.

Presumably they would have rights in their own countries. Since they left those should tell something about practical value of rights when one is just trying to survive while being poor.

PKI revocation as a technology is definitely not the greatest thing in the world, the best protocol at the moment is OCSP with a specifically configured Validation Authority. But even then quite a lot of OCSP implementations in modern software are configured to continue if they can't make a connection.

Fortunately, because the usage of our CAs is very tight to Monzo and our partners, we can reach out and explicitly ban a certificate from our machines (and tell partners to do the same) without too much trouble (as compared to Public CA's who have no chance of being able to do this) in addition to following normal PKI revoking procedures.
>if you stick long enough so that your knowledge is very valuable, the raises will keep coming

AKA golden handcuffs.

I don't think this is something inherently bad but we should always be aware of it.
I’m not sure I agree with the narrative that 1$ earned as a contractor is worth less than 1$ earned as an employee.
Seems to me that the opposite is true. A contractor can get much more creative with taxes, off setting loads of expenses against his income thus having a significantly lower effective tax rate than the employee with equivalent gross income.

“Word of warning though: unless the company is remote-first you can forget about promotions, at least in my experience. It kinda hurts seeing how you've worked your ass off for a long time and despite making good money other people get promoted while you stick to the same role as when you joined.”

Agreed. This is often a bargain you have to accept. I went remote only after I had reached a point where future promotions were very unlikely anyway.
This is the exact situation we are currently in.

I was really hoping that they had an app I could install, as they implemented LAPD on Android.
As far as I can tell, the suggested way of working would be incredibly stressful for someone like me.

First, I have to learn stuff I hate just because the market currently demands it.

I can't really bring myself to do that.

With everyone jumping on AWS and the latest JS frameworks, I stick to programming in Go and deploying static binaries to a single/cheap VPS. I basically only have one library in my 'npm' depdendencies (a virtual dom library).

Second, You have to keep advertising yourself online to keep getting more contracts. I don't really know how to do that. I tried it in the past and didn't really get anywhere. I don't know how people get contracts with > $500/day rates. But still, even if I knew how to do it, it would probably still be stressful to some degree.

Third, You have to be content living in a small town. It's great if that kind of life suits you, but it doesn't really suit me. Now, being at the center of a big city is not for me either, but I like to be close to the center. I want to live in a place with lots of amenities and shopping nearby. Where a car is an optional luxary, not a necessity.

The point of money is to enjoy life. If you live in the middle of no where, what does it matter that you have a million dollars in the bank? Or even that you have a house?

I think for someone like me, going the independent product development route seems much saner/healthier.

Anyway, here's a side remark as well:

> We are all going to die, and Earth will explode in the Sun in a few billion years: please, enjoy some now.

What's up with people bothering with what will happen in a million years from now? And then concluding since it all goes away then only right now is important?

Like, why not, you know: now is important, but a 1000 years from now is important too.
Yeah that's true, but still (of course depending on your age and location) it's enough to live in many many places without having to work again

I suspect there is a decent chance the release was not authorized and instead an insider was paid by a Western intelligence agency to steal and release it. CIA and MIA do questionable things all the time, and Israel has amazing abilities. The strategy could have been that a leak would embarass China and bring their leadership into the informal club of world rulers.

The singularity will come when the set of training data available for scrape is dominated by AI generated content and the AI's learnings are derivatives of what old AI's produced.

Human thought on the other hand has some sort of undefinable entropic-value that AI to-date is missing, a Human can produce a "good idea", whereas an AI produces a bunch of potential continuations of a stings of text and selects randomly amongst them (or, even better, a Human selects from them).

Unfortunately the advertising game mixes up the incentives and flips the equation so that the purpose of communication isn't to share a "good idea" as efficiently as possible, but rather to keep eyeballs on your website for as long as possible in the hope some flashy banner ad will distract your user and you'll get your $0.02 for them abandoning your page, likely unfinished. AI will (and already does) excel at this sort of task, but it's the kind of task that ought to have no value whatsoever.

Luckily we have increasingly sophisticated summarization-AI to go from the filler-AI generated crap back down to a couple of bullet points, but at that point you've invested millions of dollars, researcher-hours, engineer-hours, compute-hours, etc, to make the worst text-compression utility of all time.
Won't happen until grabbing everyone's data isn't a top priority for tech companies. They don't want you to be able to do stuff that they can't observe.

IOW we're stuck with a decaying protocol ecosystem—for messaging, and everything else—until we outlaw surveillance capitalism, which we probably won't do. Email wouldn't be able to take off if it were invented today, because it lets you use it without one company seeing everything. The state of things is really bad. It's a drag on productivity, with endless wheel-reinventing and deliberately-bad interoperability.
