There's quite a bit of interesting content throughout.

I've pointed out repeatedly that the Economist is specifically ideological on the principle of free trade, and must be considered in that regard. The position was a fairly left-liberal one initially (opposing the old orders of mercantilism, feudalism, and monarchical monopoly), though that political framing has shifted with time and as free trade principles are set up against a different set of alternatives.

That said, the newspaper itself is less doctrinairily conservative than it's often given credit for (though it tends toward the right side of the political spectrum, or did at least through the 2000--2015 period), a fact observable especially in its political endorsements (typically made of both UK and US national office), or occcasionally lack thereof.

Some other interesting history is that the paper was owned by Pearson PLC through 2015, a firm largely known for publishing but with its origins in construction and the oil industry. I suspect this has played a role in the Economists long-standing dismissal of the question of limits concerning finite fossil fuel extraction, though the paper's been more reality-based in addressing global warming, at least in recent decades.

I find origins (institutions, words, legal concepts, technologies, scientific methods) interesting. They're often illuminating, but should also be remembered as not necessarily reflecting present circumstances or orientation. This is especially true in the publishing and media world where iniital alignments may be radically changed over time. The American Mercury and TLC are two particularly notorious examples of drift and/or realignment.
> Author is a lisper, is a good reason.

If I read this on any other website I’d assume it’s sarcasm. Only on HN, folks.
The datasheet PDF doesn't contain an obvious date, but it's is clearly scanned and it also contains a sample circuit for connecting it to an IBM PC via the ISA bus. So somewhere between 1981 and 1995, perhaps.

There's a document id on the last page that may indicate it's from 89.

Would it help if the text message included the reason for the code?

“This is <bank>, you requested a password reset. Your code for this is 123456. Using this code will change your password. Call us if that’s not what you want.”

Or something along those lines.

Yeah it’s still a fundamentally flawed process, but until they replace the entire process with something better, a slight change in wording would help save some people.
that's interesting, ADI doesn't even list it anymore on their website but it's marked as still active. i guess it's still used in some test&measurement equipment.
Not sure why downvotes. If only 1% of people who need it use Bitcoin, it becomes unreliable for them.
Some finance software systems do that too. It tends to be a nightmare because people end up adding new message types just to add a single field
A common thing I see missed in arguments against like leetcode is that good hiring pipelines would not look at just leetcode scores. You want leetcode + good project + system design. Leetcode is excellent for testing data structures and algorithms, reasoning about code and edge case etc. These are absolutely necessary but not sufficient to build good software.

... why would other sites not count "Guix uses a language the author might already be more comfortable with" as an argument for why the author might prefer Guix?
That would obviously be not ok.

Oxylabs have a public stance about doing it in above-the-board ways (https://oxylabs.io/blog/standards-for-proxy-acquisition) but I guess you're saying this is BS.
For gemini I use either castor[0] or dragonstone[1]. Both are quite good, dragonstone even has tabs.

Both are written for GTK, so they integrate quite good with GNOME.

In short, your brain chemistry is currently in an unusual situation and that also affects how you feel about your life.

My advice would be to work on feeling better.

There's plenty of things that I'm bad at, not only compared to the top 0.1% of the internet, but also compared to my real life friends. But I can enjoy doing them just the same, despite my obvious lack of skill. You can be both useless and a good person at the same time. Plus chances are, others will actually value your contribution, even if it seems like nothing to you. So the first step should be to find something you enjoy doing, or to relearn to enjoy something you did in the past.
>But for a long time the EU was moving towards ever closer integration.

Some time ago people have more faith in the EU. But since EU derailed, beaurocrats and politicians started pushing EU towards a progressive and leftist dystopia. And people don't like that.

They have their history, their culture, their way of life, their customs and they want to live how they used to, without being told by the others how to live their lives.

No one apart from the far left wants Europe to become a melting pot in which nations, ethnicities, languages, customs, cultures dissappear.

> why doesn't such actual practical applications matter?

What makes you think they don’t? The first economics Nobel went to Simon Kuznets and in 2019 Banerjee, Duflo and Kramer.

I don’t think politicians are generally good candidates for the economics Nobel but I think Singh is an exception, and it would be well deserved.
It's a reference to something a Russian soldier said to a civilian in Berlin after it fell to allied forces in WW2. Some Berliners, who stayed in Berlin throughout the war, thought they could show that they weren't fascist supporters by calling out "Towarisch!" (another word for comrade) to the Red Army who were entering the city. Instead of being greeted back, they were laughed at then robbed. Basically it means we are not friends, and you'll get no sympathy from me after this is all over.

Yes, but NFT “owners” get real mad if you right click > Download Image the art they “own”.
Would that be nice? Sure.

Are NFTs likely to do that? No. Why would game/platform creators do a ton of work so they could make less money? And even if they wanted to, which they won't, why would they bless some specific blockchain with that power? If that is at all viable, somebody like Steam or Amazon will want it to be their own digital assets registry that wins. For that, they don't need a blockchain, just a database.

Absolutely. When I say treatment resistant I have done everything out there and then some.
If you like it and are not curious to learn if there is anything else out there, stick with it. Your wallet will thank you :).

Old school texty FIX is incredibly slow. FAST FIX is faster but not fun to use. Largely SBE has won adoption on the market data side, with huge platforms like Euronext (biggest on Europe) using it.

Self-congratulatory jokes are generally not very funny, regardless of what nationality or political orientation they come from.
So I'm not the only one still holding on to a stack of those - now on number 2 of 3. Great (1600x1200) screen, great keyboard, sturdy, it even lasts a few hours on the battery - not bad for an almost 16 year old machine. Yes, a new mainboard would be good, I've been toying with the idea of stuffing one of the more performant SBCs in there (almost anything will outperform the 1.8GHz single-core Pentium-M in those things) but have not yet found one which can drive the screen.
Over a long enough time period, a small scale organization is kind of likely to just get blown up by a catastrophe because it isn't big enough to absorb it. At least that would be my guess.
I wonder if there's a credible chance of ARM making inroads into the non-Mac PC market in the foreseeable future. Microsoft's Windows for ARM has a pretty good x64 emulation layer that's can run the vast majority of software transparently, like Rosetta. In the future your average consumer could just walk in to a store and pick up an ARM machine without knowing anything about CPU architectures, and be happy with it.
The Roman Empire fell when Constantinople fell. And that fell was in part due to Catholic Church hating the orthodox christians.

The Catholic Church dates since the Great Schism. So it is not 1700 years old.
I’m curious why we’d expect achievements in STEM at the age of 16/17, when students are applying for college.

To keep this in perspective, kids haven’t even taken Science 101 at this point.

And the exceptional students who have won Olympiad golds or created open source software, etc, would more than be covered by the “special talents, achievements and awards in any field” section.
Most NFTs do not hash media themselves; instead, they hash a link to the media that only exists as long as it is hosted. I'd imagine the zero hashes are links that are already dead.
I was a web developer at the time and Netscape was much worse to develop for than IE. It was poorly documented and I could make it crash just by loading an HTML file. Change a few chars and it wouldn’t crash.

IE had great documentation on MSDN and worked as documented. In 1999 I thought IE was the best browser to develop for.

Things changed after that of course.
"I suspect they'll remember me forever"

Laughed out loud at that. Funny because it's so true.

For me personally it didn't stop me from wanting to achieve something in my life. Which I realize only partly overlaps with wanting to change the world. It was impactful nevertheless and I'm sure my kids will remember me :-)
Kissinger is a war criminal
I guess you could point at some metadata/description and let each game render that how it likes?

Eg if I have a red hat nft you could have that as 2d sprite art or a 3d model or just a buff to some other stat or just ignore it.

Why wouldn’t they sell it for a couple of bucks? It doesn’t have to be expensive because it’s an nft, plenty of them are sold for pennies. erc1155 is designed with lots of varying items being created on the same contract.

Why nfts? Because it’s easy to do today and has been getting more and more popular over the past three years. It seems people like them.

People don’t want to download files and import them into programs. Having one login(wallet) that you connect to anything you want and it takes your data and belongings with you seems pretty neat to me.
Would you say that you had bad habits with the social media that you had to break kind of like a mild "addiction"? A lot of people with anhedonia have had wires crossed due to things like this.

In my case it wasn't PAWS or anything like that for me but I had a lot of psych meds forced on me as a teenager and young adult which could have had an effect.

In fact it's been kind of hard to get psych treatment because the assumption often is that there is very strong comorbidity between addictive behaviors and long term mental illness but for me I've never had issues with habits/behavior like that and having to reprogram my brain after.
> And lastly, I found that there is one thing that one can do that is absolutely unique that nobody can match anywhere in the world, and that is - as corny as this sounds - kids.

Eat, shit, sleep, reproduce, die. Living being 101.

But the main thing about having kids is that you will not have time to think about how your life sucks anymore. Probably better than taking drugs to achieve the same result.
> “Whether we consider it a tool, a partner, or a rival, [ai] will alter our experience as reasoning beings and permanently change our relationship with reality,” the authors write. “The result will be a new epoch.” If uttered by a Soylent-quaffing coder, that sentiment might be dismissed as hyperbole. Coming from authors of this pedigree, it ought to be taken seriously.

Predicting how AI will affect society’s sense of reality is best left to politicians and CEOs (or CS department heads)? They’re making a psychological/sociological claim here, not a business, political, or technical one. Are they qualified to predict what society will use as a basis for reality? Also they have plenty to gain by this agenda being believed (maybe not Henry I dunno).
I have to agree - dating apps are depressing as hell for most men to use. The author appears to be female, which explains this view.
I've made peace with it but human language is very odd. I still use terms such as "like/love" "miss you" "looking forward to" but I'm cut off from the emotions behind it. Most people I know well know this and I've explained it to them but it does trip me up at times because it feels dishonest.
Some institutions are too big to not fell.

The bigger they are, the more ineficient they become. The bigger they are, more and more people start realizing that their interests are not well served by those institutions.

But we don't have yet a World Government and that is a dystopia we might never live in.

So, if I wanted to just get a practical feel for the basics of land surveying (this is the big distance sort of thing), is it enough to mock up our own horizontal sighting instrument, or is the vertical part of the theodolite vital as well?
I know several people that are approached with "load our SDK and make money pay per install on your userbase" type of deals for these residential proxy things. I've been approached myself by unknown (I didn't respond) actors offering to monetise my browser addons with more or less the same.

For the actual end user it's definitely not above the board.

Public notes:

I have never seen actual informed consent before in ANY of these for the final end user; most of the targeted apps are general rubbish (think flashlight app requesting location permission and contacts type of BS). At best it would be buried deep in a ToS or EULA somewhere, and even that's fairly rare. Using a very very stretched definition of rewarding users, you could argue that "allowing the use of a
calculator for free" is the reward for being an open proxy.

If you find any example anywhere by the implementors ("oh, it's the sdk includer's fault they aren't saying anything, we're totally above board...") that there is anything approaching informed consent, I would love to know some examples, because I've never seen one in these. (I would dearly love to be wrong here)
Right, we agree that (a) there's not enough innovation in education and (b) under the current structures, business won't provide it. The only thing I add is a specific explanation for (b): state control, and sluggish private organizations at the top, provide little incentive to innovate.

The OP suggested that LMS were not good. I provided a reason why that might be so, which fits my experience. I can confirm that the one LMS I know is terrible.

Having an abundance of talented developer labor so even money losing companies can afford to buy it is not a problem that exists in the world.

What usally happens now is that developers leave if there are no customers, but yes, if we ever reach that state where even the companies with the worst products can hire the best developers, then wages will have fallen quite a bit.
Avro went the opposite way to most and just makes the concept of an optional field implementable via a union with null

Non union fields can even be upgraded to unions later

Personally I find the protobufs "everything is optional!" Behaviour fucking insane and awful to deal with, but it is true to the semantics of its underlying wire format.

That's a list union[number, string, object] or list[Any], not a sum type, no? This

`data X = A | B

[A, B, ...]`

Is a list containing a sum type: list[X]
I really like KDE. Having used Macs, Windows 10, Ubuntu machines it is the desktop environment I like the most so far. There is some really innovative stuff in it, it doesn't get in my way, it looks good, the stuff that I need works fast and reliably etc.

I heard that this once was not the case from an older colleague, but give it a try if you haven't already
> Guix System is an advanced distribution of the GNU operating system. It uses the Linux-libre kernel

It's worth pointing out that the linux-libre kernel is developed under the FSF doctrine that "binary blobs are bad unless you can't see them". This has been taken to its logical extreme here, where this Linux fork actively removes security warnings informing users that they need to update their CPU microcode, because microcode in ROM is fine but dynamically loaded microcode updates are not, in this school of thought.

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2018-04/msg00002...

I have no interest in software that uses arbitrary religious dogma (that doesn't help users' freedom, as those users' CPUs have proprietary microcode whether they know about it or not) to justify censoring critical security vulnerability notifications for users. I regard this as actively evil anti-user behavior.

History is accelerating, events happen faster and empires will last far less than they used to.
It's curious how the world rejects lisp so fast, I guess they have a lot of energy to waste.
I wonder if a faster solution for more able-bodied people would be, instead of having a platform for sitting and a platform for standing, you could have two small platforms, one for each foot.

It’d be essentially like walking up stairs, but on the spot.

Black mark for the Economist for UI issues

1) Giant 'please subscribe' banner, similar button top right. But I am a subscriber already, and I have to search around to be able to log in

2) in 2021 what login box is still being undone by a space at the end of an email address? Really? Mobile devices often add spaces, can we not deal with that?
> What makes you think they don’t?

The article states that the Nobel committee only looks at scholarly academic theories in economy, and from that perspective, Dr. Manmohan Singh may not meet its criteria as he hasn't advanced any new study or theory on the subject that generated academic interest. What he has done is to use what he studied and apply them to craft effective policies - I guess that falls outside the purview of their interest in scholarly / academic study on the subject.
I have the opposite experience. But you are conflating brew with pip, and they are largely independent even if you use pyenv from brew (which you should).

Again, I don’t see a lot of logic or understanding of the toolchain in that comment.
I don't prefer depressive states but I feel like a lot of anhedonic states border on disassociation for me and I'm praised for it. I'm in a state right now like the article author in that I'm doing all these good habits. I find it annoying when people comment on it and it often comes off as patronizing. I'm not doing it for attention or praise (and that doesn't really affect me), again, I'm doing it because I have to keep treading water. It leads to this terrible dynamic where I don't like reaching out to someone when I'm doing poorly but I also don't like reaching out to someone when I'm doing "well" - which means that I'm doing all the actions that one is to be praised for in "treating" depression but not feeling any relief whatsoever. It's painful to have people praise me or say I'm "strong" for what is a purely a survival mechanism, it's this or ending up physically abused in the psych ward.
>You see USA being a union of 50 states, or EU being a union of 28 states. Expanding such a union to the whole world defeats the point

I’ve tried a couple of mechanical keyboards at this point and I still don’t understand why people rave about Cherry MX blue switches. I have two of the exact same model of keyboard, one with Cherry MX blue and one with Cherry MX silent red. I much prefer the silent red for pretty much all situations. I suspect I might also like/tolerate the Cherry MX silver switches for their relative silence (still not as silent as the silent red though) and really short actuation distance.

Do you think they're timing it like that on purpose?
Yes, it was set in Soviet times but the humour was definitely British.
I would have written 'For black humour about the Soviet-era', because «Soviet-era black humor» suggests that the humour is that of the Soviet-era. It is surely British, extremely Armando Iannucci (of course), with French sources - and I am not sure the humour has a "Russian spirit".

It is intentionally a strong rewriting of history - in no way a documentary but for many historic details that fit with the intended narrative for being preposterously "humorous" (if you wish, read "shocking").

An unmissable masterpiece, an Armando Iannucci insight about humans and politics - or "the human condition", and consequently "the nature of humour". Facts are sacrificed to this intent, which has priority.
Same scam, different artist.
> I'm guessing infra-costs are pretty low - the site hasn't changed much in 15 years

Not necessarily ;) IMHO what matters is their actual traffic. For each user they are going to send an email in the future. If they have 10 daily users, then that's 10 emails in let's say a year. Those users are daily, so a year after their acquisition they will send 10 emails/day, everyday.

Where I'm getting to is the delay doesn't matter much long-term, because they will eventually need to send all those emails whilst serving new users. It's all about their user base, not delay.

Obviously, their use case might simply be what limits daily active users thus the "usage loan" to pay back in the future :D
