fine, i cant be bothered with hn anymore. so you can say ok its discord and twitter.

but crypto is fun. people will keep having fun.

we can ignore that and write it off as has been the case for the past ten years, or we can recognise 10% of americans have coinbase app installed. that this is reality. and people can keep saying "we could do this without crypto" but it doesnt change the fact we didnt do it without crypto, we did it with crypto. and then can start to investigate why that is, or bury our heads in the sand saying "show me a real use case"

we can start to investigate why thousands of people are willing to essentially donate money towards a meme, what that sense of community and collective ownership is about, and what this means for the future, and how this tech is enabling that and how we can channel it -> there already talks of BailFundDAO and ReparationsDAO off the back of this...
It's historically somewhat common for older, more established and financially secure men to pair up with young women.

I think the PV would be fine, but the charge controllers, anything that uses a coil, might be fried.

EMP's create huge discharges in coils, that's how they "fry" electronics and cars and motors and the more sensitive chips attached to said coils.
> I actually have a mitochondrial disorder.

If you do, what treatment options does that offer? Can you pursue that treatment without an official diagnosis?

TLDR: Being copied to death by the big competitors whilst both releasing the Android app and opening the invite system late, killed the hype.

I first asked about it's ridiculous valuation months ago. [0] Then about it being copied to death by the competition after it's 1 year head start, [1] and now the aftermath of the VCs still spamming the notifications to try to restart the hype train despite everyone leaving the app.

Quite unsurprising here, and just 'as expected'.

I used to work at a hotline, and OF COURSE the 'quality' of the volunteer varied. We were not trained to avoid anything, we were there to stay on the line as long as people wanted, and talk about whatever people needed unless there were more calls than we could handle. Many people called who were in crisis, rather than overtly suicidal, we were there for them.
"Nobody ever got fired for choosing IBM..."
I have read the book and I really liked the first half, which explains the "thousand brains theory of intelligence". Very inspiring and thought-provoking (at least to me as an interested amateur in this field). The second half, however, would better have been a book of its own. It's about Hawkins' ideas on AGI implications and whatnot, which is quite entertaining but devalues the first half, in a way.
I'm honestly not sure what you're trying to say with your comment.

I don't think I'm creating a false equivalence between the respective parties; their differences are certainly clear - one of those differences being a closed-ears approach to scientific evidence.

Could you elaborate or clarify what you meant?
Just did this with my 10, $74.95 for a new battery, spent ~2 hours down the street curating a newsletter at a bar I like. It was a similar experience when I needed the battery in my MacBook Air replaced but closer to 100.
That's an assumption I'd say. Another completely different possibility is that people suffering from schizophrenia in the developing world are generally not medicated. Anti-psychotic medications have nasty side effects and perhaps one undiscovered side effect is to turn a chronic relapsing disease into a permanent condition.

Thanks. I was used to doing things 'the Emacs way' many years ago before GUI editors were common but now I go back and forth between Emacs and GUI editors a lot and Emacs seems like the odd duck. Guess I just need to relearn this stuff because the other features Emacs brings to the table (e.g. Magit) are too handy to do without.
Why do you feel recommending anything at all is required?

3. Share my experience, acknowledge this is a single data point, and withhold recommendation.
I still give these sins to my PhD students.

* Table of contents: The 'inline' ToC, proposed by the author, is way more aesthetical and terse.

* Grandmothering: Don't grandmother. Either be pedagogical or skip to the meat.

* Conclusion: I nowadays prefer the paper-paper-paper format: The abstract is the whole paper, the introduction is the whole paper and the paper is the whole paper. Just the "zoom" level differs. Hence, the conclusion should really bring something new.
Recommending against anything because it didn't work for you isn't good, even with the disclaimer. Antidotal evidence is the worst.
Two things:

a) you can test and map out the memory layout, so its not entirely random

b) Often the system state can be manipulated in "safe" ways to increase the attack surface. E.g. you can cause the OS to fill lots of memory with a vulnerable data structure, like a page mapping, and at the same time reserve a lot of the memory (outside the area you want to target) yourself. This gives you a good chance something vulnerable will end up where you want it.

Afaik the Project Zero blogpost or presentation about it had some detailed examples.
And what would that potential be? Just curious, I don't see any potential.
Yeah I can see that but, to make a comparison, just because you can build up high level functions in assembly doesn't make it a comparable language to Python/JavaScript.
3. Not post about something you have scant evidence one way or another about.
For anyone interested, I've been collecting notes on various tools in this space:

3. Collect more meaningful data before offering recommendations?
Never heard of "put them out of their misery"?

Not acting and letting them destroy themselves can be worse in many ways to them and others around them rather than "acting to kill them".

This is a hard truth, I am not advocated mercy killings but doing nothing to help them can be worse in many than doing something for all involved, which is why most advocate for doing something to help even is it seem futile, sometimes its as much for everyone else than the person receiving help.
There's no guarantee in pure vector space model that it is the case. Your understanding is way off. This is a caveat that Lucene prominently put on their Web page.

https://lucene.apache.org/core/3_5_0/scoring.html

"Lucene scoring is the heart of why we all love Lucene. It is blazingly fast and it hides almost all of the complexity from the user. In a nutshell, it works. At least, that is, until it doesn't work, or doesn't work as one would expect it to work. Then we are left digging into Lucene internals or asking for help on java-user@lucene.apache.org to figure out why a document with five of our query terms scores lower than a different document with only one of the query terms."

See? Lucene people know about it but they just do not think it is a problem.

But I do.

T-Wand, though also uses vector space model, makes sure it is the case.

I don't think you understand what I'm saying. The real world requires trust. It doesn't matter what the code says. If I buy something then I have to trust that it will be delivered in some way by passing through trusted 3rd parties like FedEx. There is no way around trust. As soon as the digital makes contact with reality all mathematical guarantees of being "trust-less" are no longer relevant.

Take a short term contract or just start applying for gigs. If you've got a history as a dev, it's not something that evaporates because you haven't been doing it for a few years. Plenty of large companies will hire you if your historical references check out.

Same area. Different niche.

Reach out if you want to do a mock interview (or tbh you should just be interviewing with everyone to practice). Of the last few jobs I've had only about half had practical tests. If you take a contract it's unlikely they'll make you do one.
Unlike the other replies, I believe that people actually can control their emotions -- especially if they are expert meditators.

That said, I usually don't date expert meditators, so wouldn't expect my partner to have a perfect control over their emotions. But I would expect them to have sufficient control over their actions. So that is where I draw the line.
I would add another thing that you suddenly have a less clear agenda or daily goals to achieve.

Working as a IC you often have a backlog of work provided by someone else where it is their job to prioritise and structure that work for you. Moving into a management role it becomes your job to find and prioritise your own tasks.

It is very easy to feel like you aren't contributing or completing productive work as your workload and goals are now completely self defined.
I wonder if one of the main reasons it hasn't been decentralized is because it has been illegal to do so—selling shares/securities to the general public without disclosure of risks and other rules set forth by the SEC.

I remember being in the Bay Area back in 2014-16 and people talking about wanting to use Kickstarter and other crowdfunding platforms for not just buying products but owning the company, but kept getting stuck at the accredited investor requirements for private companies.

So, I guess I'm curious about this as a referendum on why we have securities laws and accredited investor laws and whether those should change or stay, I just don't think it's necessarily as brand new of an idea as it seems.

EDIT: The concept I was talking about is called equity crowdfunding [0] and the SEC opened it up to more people in 2012 [1].

If there is an undemocratic layer exercising overall control then the net result is authoritarian. It would be neither distributed nor autonomous. It’s precisely why democratic governance generally tries to balance power between elements that can exercise checks on one another and why eroding those checks is so worrying.

Like if you’re trying to buy the constitution in a democratic fashion you’d think you’d at least try to understand what it means.
You have to fix a lot of merge conflicts. I used this workflow at AWS -- code reviews can take some time, you're writing a lot of code, and you want your CRs to be small.

If someone leaves a comment on the CR for the first branch you fix the issue and rebase. It's not fun, but this is the only effective way to do it (that I know of).

A suicide hotline is not a general mental health therapy.
It was one function -- to prevent the caller from committing suicide in the immediate future. It was successful.

You can't test the effectiveness of a suicide prevention with a dry run. Fire drills don't put out fires either.

Also, you essentially admityed that you were making a false call. That's not going to get a great reply. You shouldn't call 911 to test response time either.

No, they've been doing this crap for decades. They don't deserve any respect or courtesy. It needs to be called out for what it is when they just brazenly think they can do whatever the hell they want because they somehow own the computer because it has their software on it.

I agree that is strong point that such comments trigger some readers.

I imagine that any politically savvy author like this one evaluates the inclusion of jokes involving POC in their editing process today.

As far as intent, I am more inclined to believe the author decided to leave it intentionally, not to endear the conservative reader, but because they believe that while some readers may be offended, that they didn't want to engage in self censorship when they personally didn't see anything objectionable. After all, I think the conservative reader would gloss over this as unremarkable, and only some liberal readers would hear it as a "dog whistle", so they aren't endearing anyone.

I think this is inline with some of the author's other writings which advocate taking responsibility for one's actions and intentions, but not necessarily catering to everyone else's possible reactions and emotions.

That said, I'm usually assume pretty charitable intentions as a reader when it comes to this sort of thing, so I have my own biases.
I would beg to differ that that is the “goal” of forth, but I do think that there is truth to the statement in terms of niches best served when used by most programmers.

Writing in forth is a process of creating a domain specific language to solve the problem at hand, so it tends to get quite claustrophobic as you close in on the goal.

I've not tried Vite yet. I've been happy enough with snowpack so far, and they seem so similar in approach I haven't heard a reason to switch other than yes it does seem to be the new PR "hotness".

Looking at Vite's own comparison I don't see a strong reason to switch that would impact most of my projects: https://vitejs.dev/guide/comparisons.html#snowpack

But also I don't use Vue and I don't trust CSS Modules yet [1] which is their other most impactful feature of Vite.

([1] It still seems like reliable Browser support for CSS Modules is still 5 years away at the current rate, if it ever gets accepted as a standard. I don't think there's any obvious current objections and few browsers outside the Chromium hegemony to even really object today, but it's still one of those web standards that smells to me pessimistically like "it's never going to work right cross-browser", and even if I were less pessimistic about it, I prefer not to use them because I think they bloat CSS and subvert the intent behind cascading. At that point I think you might as well just use CSS-in-JS and that doesn't have to wait on web standards that may never arrive.)

Sharing the Things We Use
Well, I think they've been saying that the tokens guarantee voting power to advise the LLC which actually owns the physical document, not to actually own the document, because, as someone else mentioned, that may run afoul of US securities laws.

I say all this being excited about iterating on the future of governance, I also worry that such quick financial flash mobs could really screw people really fast.
Who knows what's in the contracts ... and what code moved around and survived where MSFT has no license to share code. Sure most of the things are out, but one helper function here, one there, maybe some data type they are still using relies on code from there ... it is a huge codebase grown in different ways over decades. And a few lines in an old subsystem and some and some successor of some original license holder can use it to refinance all their investments by sueing Microsoft.
For sure. Typescript definitely gets you away from the worst of these, the typing mitigates most of the craziness about the two exact issues that you mention. But nonetheless, when the rubber hits the road, it's still JavaScript that is running, so weirdness is definitely still a thing

I can see why you're exasperate but you can also see why sensible people don't think crypto is anything more than a toy. So far it has had no positive real world impact. Most aspects of crypto are dominated by childish memes which drives away sensible people from investing time and effort into doing something meaningful with the technology. The childish culture will have to change for the technology to have any meaningful impact.
Yeah I tried to clarify. I am not an authority on their literal goal. I was trying to describe the result when you look at the systems overall in terms of implementation and use; what they make easy.
OK, so we're coming back around to the "configuration as code" trend again then.

Humans are much more complicated than code.

If you want to be a great manager, you need to be as self-interested in learning about leadership and people as you once were about the tooling and platforms you used to build on.

Here's a few things I learned over several years and many senior leadership positions:

1. be humble. this is the single most important thing in your leadership position.

2. every problem is a leadership problem.

3. you lead people, and you manage process.
I think it really depends.

Ultimately there's a never ending ethical conversation of when or if one ever has a duty to act to help others. I'm inclined to be believe there's a lot of cases where you ethically do have a duty to act, but we're not going to resolve the debate of where that line is here.

But there does exist a practical limitations to what you can do to save someone. A key rule of any kind of emergency response is to always prioritize your own safety first, because if you don't you risk creating an additional victim and making the situation worse for everyone. That can be an incredibly hard thing to accept when you see someone suffering and dying, but it's the truth.

If you jump in the water to save a drowning person, there's a high chance in their panic, they drag you down and you both drown.

Not the OP, but I assume they mean the requirement by society on how well individuals conform to the expectations of that society. In high compliance societies, individuals are ostracized / punished for non-conformance - think atheists in a religious society. In low conformance societies, individuals are able to maintain a high level of privacy or society is more tolerant of divergence.
I've really come to prefer json5 as a config format: https://json5.org/

It's basically Json with comments, trailing commas, and unquoted object keys (and some other minor things).

Much nicer than real json as a config format, but still simple and declarative, not requiring an interpreter or being turing-complete.
Part of that is that 1960's tech was pretty good. It's not going to give you an advantage over the state of the art but it is still very useful and a whole lot better than nothing.
I really don’t think it’s grossly uncharitable at all. The details of the editorial process aren’t especially relevant, the article itself is some grim anecdote being used to promote a policy agenda. Regardless of the merit of the position being promoted, it’s intentionally emotionally manipulative, it’s anti-rational and anti-intellectual. It’s also entirely based upon the presupposition that the problem they’re talking about only has one cause, and one possible solution. Framing issues in this way means that any criticism of the presuppositions of, or conclusions draw by the author, is likely to be seen as disparagement of a clearly sympathetic person. It’s not a rational way to discuss a problem, and it’s incredibly low quality journalism.
Yep, type checking clearly can't be decidable, since the type system is turing complete.

Imo inference is a bit overrated anyway. I find annotations to be very useful.

There's a series of steps here:

- "Static type annotations are too verbose, dynamic languages allow you to avoid the ceremony."
- "But Hindler Milner type systems can infer the types, so you usually don't have to write the type annotations!"
- "Writing type annotations is useful anyway, because it serves as valuable documentation, makes reasoning about the program easier, and results in more useful type errors."

Thinking about it more now, there's another step:
- "If you have good type inference, you can use editor tooling (eg the LSP) to automatically insert the type signatures for you!"
