And there's nothing wrong with that opinion. As long as the basics aren't covered I don't care about extra features.

For me Emacs fulfills the same purpose as Vim, but mostly in exactly the opposite way of how I want it. Some people prefer that, I don't. It's a great program, but not my cup of tea and so I don't use it. Vim does everything I need without annoying or distracting me, which is rare enough.
If you have an hour spare, probably the best way to understand Clojure's main selling points is to watch this talk: https://www.infoq.com/presentations/Simple-Made-Easy/

InfoQ list the Key Takeaways as:

- We should aim for simplicity because simplicity is a prerequisite for reliability.

- Simple is often erroneously mistaken for easy. "Easy" means "to be at hand", "to be approachable". "Simple" is the opposite of "complex" which means "being intertwined", "being tied together". Simple != easy.

- What matters in software is: does the software do what is supposed to do? Is it of high quality? Can we rely on it? Can problems be fixed along the way? Can requirements change over time? The answers to these questions is what matters in writing software not the look and feel of the experience writing the code or the cultural implications of it.

- The benefits of simplicity are: ease of understanding, ease of change, ease of debugging, flexibility.

- Complex constructs: State, Object, Methods, Syntax, Inheritance, Switch/matching, Vars, Imperative loops, Actors, ORM, Conditionals.

- Simple constructs: Values, Functions, Namespaces, Data, Polymorphism, Managed refs, Set functions, Queues, Declarative data manipulation, Rules, Consistency.

- Build simple systems by: Abstracting (design by answering questions related to what, who, when, where, why, and how); Choosing constructs that generate simple artifacts; Simplifying by encapsulation.

So Clojure is a language that embodies these principles in its design. It's a Lisp, which means that all code is constructed from a very regular expression syntax that has an inherent simplicity and can be quickly understood. It's a functional programming language that provides exceptional tools for minimising mutating state, and it favours working with a small set of data structures and provides a core api with many useful functions that operate on them.

I'd say the result is getting a lot done with a small amount of code, minimal ceremony, true reuse, and the ability to maintain simplicity even as your system's capabilities grow.
I’m not sure why not? Everything has a shortcut in vscode. And if it doesn’t you can use the command palette.

There is definitely a market for the resurgence of some of high quality old-timey products, especially those with some novelty.

There's no comparison between PiS and any other government that was before. They are on wholly different level. Trying to muddle things by saying the other side it also bad is just disingenuous.

Everything you ever wanted to know about UDP sockets but were afraid to ask
The M1 Max exceeds 35W for all but one test and even averages 62W for one test that does not use the GPU.

The point is not that it is not faster. A 20% performance advantage on average given 3x faster memory and an up to 50% more efficient process means that the architecture is slower on average but that it makes it up in (third-party) memory and process.

>To whom are they selling their GPUs?

A lot of professionals that would otherwise buy high-end AMD or NVidia GPUs for now, and eventually they will probably be used for virtualization.
But maybe redesign it so the coils can’t be live even when it is off. Because you can’t stop humans from using forks.

I grew up with one of these and was going to get an old one and refurbish it, but I live with too many hairless apes that would stick a fork or knife in to retrieve their undersized bread. Maybe if I put on a polarized plug, and check all the outlets in the kitchen to make sure they are wired correctly…
Strange list- almost totally made up of weird, unapproachable stuff, and then also Andy Weir and Ted Chiang.

I'm not knocking it, but these are edge case titles, certainly not what I would say everyone should read. Except Ted, who's maybe the best living short story writer.
I wholeheartedly agree!

And still I use the webos apps on my LG to watch netflix, Disney, hbo and our national TV channel. It's weird how it goes. There is no getting away from the fact that as long as the app works on my TV its easier to install it and use the stock remote that doing something custom. And since it works OK for 99% of people, the TV producers will ad the little computer, and there will be nothing to save on buying a TV without (if you can even find one).
That is a 20 minute piece of homework you just assigned. Time offsets please.

The bit I scanned through shows cracking due to dumb placement of holes. And that’s on the lid, not the laptop body.

Drilling holes through the edge of load bearing elements is still a classic failure mode for home construction, so I’m disappointed but not surprised. There’s a lot of bad blood about their hinges, and I’m not gonna fight anybody on that. They wanted the thinnest laptops, they got them, but not without consequences.

But part of that thinness was actually pretty smart, and that’s what we are discussing here. Using billet aluminum and CNC fabrication for complex shapes instead of gluing (gluing takes large contact points which means more material). Switching to airframe construction techniques was cooler and probably faster. Carving them out of solid aluminum was innovative mostly because it sounded so crazy. Stir welding sounded positively sober by comparison, even though it was hot shit at the time.
Yay! I love it when HN has positive effects on people's real lives. It did that for me too, long before I became a moderator here. Thank you, PG.
One of the first things he did was scrap Merkel's plans for a new two-week countrywide lockdown.

That lockdown was not a completely unfounded suggestion though, given that both the number of infected and the number of new cases/day are twice as high as during last year's peak [1] -- and last year's peak was around Christmas, not in November.

I largely agree that moving between gov't and private sector should be illegal or at least highly constrained, particularly in leadership or decision-making positions. But I also think you're unserious and insincere.

> Pay them twice as much, but then say "you can't take money from the companies you're charged with regulating, directly or otherwise, for 5 years or you go to jail"... Happens to every single one of these figureheads, without any exceptions.

You know how I can tell you're an unserious? You're criticizing Fauci for doing exactly what you want -- staying a well-but-not-unfairly-paid civil servant for his entire career. If Fauci was going to cash out, he could have done so decades ago. He's been at the top for a long time.

Which, BTW, is FAR more common than not. The people you're describing are not the median or normal outcome.

I don't think you have thought seriously about your criticism here, and I don't think you're commenting on this issue in good faith.

Have a good Thanksgiving.
This is pretty useful but shouldn't you put the link as the main content, instead of putting this entire synopsis in the HN description?
I've never met two people I'd describe as equally competent across the board, so it seems like an irrelevant exercise. We have also not touched on what personal growth and emotional maturity a person can gain in a few months away from work.

I suppose my conclusion is that as you argue, people probably will discriminate - but it is that part we should be pushing back against in order to make this proposal work, rather than just accepting it as an unavoidable consequence of parenting.

I want to also add that I have no children and no intent to have them; but I like the idea of the work culture we are describing here for other reasons. For example, acceptance that taking a sabbatical might be a significant positive step for some professionals if we can step back from the evaluation grind.
Technology Connections is hands down one of my favorite Youtube channels.

Another guy worth mentioning that tickles the brain cells in a similar way is Isaac Arthur: a guy that breaks down science fiction into science fact, and explores what we could actually do someday in the future, and pokes fun at the stuff that will probably never happen but has become familiar tropes anyways.

A much more convincing argument would be that r2r falls under the umbrella of the right to private property in general. What you're saying would only apply to r2r for weapons.

Repair is a right, but the right to repair movement goes far beyond the right of an individual to do what they want with their property. R2r involves requiring businesses to sell spair parts and go out of their way to support people who want to repair things.
It actually depends 100% on the trail or road you’re riding on and how it’s licensed.

You can have a pure electric motorcycle with throttle licenses for street use. No power or speed limits (obviously).

But most bike paths have been designated “No motorized vehicles” from the time before e-bikes. There have been exceptions carved out in some places for pedal-assist bikes, but having a pure throttle would not comply with the pedal-assist requirement.

The problem is that e-bike companies know that a lot of people really don’t want to pedal or be limited to 20mph or 750W, so a lot of the e-bikes you can buy today are easily hackable by design. It’s common for people to buy an e-bike compliant with these regulations and then immediately modify it to remove the limits and add a throttle. Now they have an electric motorcycle that looks like a compliant e-bike from the outside.

And to be honest, they’re ruining e-biking for everyone. My local trails are filled with people flying around at motorcycle speeds while the rest of us are moving at pedal speeds. They’re tearing up the trails because they can put 1500W or more into spinning the rear wheel without feedback while the trails were designed for us manual bikers putting a few hundred watts at most into the rear wheel with direct feedback to feel any spin.

Locally, there’s a backlash of denying any e-bike from common trails because they’ve morphed into a loophole to motorcycle around. It’s unfortunate because I really wanted pedal assist e-bikes to open the sport to older and less physically fit riders, but instead it’s closing the sport to anyone who doesn’t feel like dodging kids zooming around at twice the speed anyone expects.
I used Zirtual to manage myself scaling during the growth of DigitalOcean, we had no EAs till well over 100 people, so I got one for myself using Zirtual. It was a good experience and I'm still using them 6 years later. I think this is a great way to learn what you want without hiring someone.
Wow.

I thought this was going to be about some sneaky exploit where they'd manage to get a gov.uk to forward links to porn or something. But no, it's really a whole subdomain just taken over by some sketchy porn site.

I'm wondering if the porn site operators even know it's happening? Seems the most likely thing is the DfT had a site at that URL, hosted on AWS. And then they shut it down without removing the DNS record and Amazon assigned that IP to somebody else.

There is a difference between incidentally public (someone can see you, snap a picture, but only on occasion) and surveilence public (someone can track your location and activity continously in public). If someone does the latter, and I know about it, I can still sue them for harassment, and maybe get a restraining order. Can I get a restraining order against Nest or similar?

I understand that this might not be the law, but I'm interested in if it should be.

Hello, you linked an article about the $10,000 threshold for IRS reporting requirements, which is unrelated to (and larger than) the 1M JPY cap Wise has historically imposed on transfers to Japan. Wise's article about this topic is here: https://wise.com/help/articles/2932156/guide-to-jpy-transfer... and currently claims that I can send larger amounts via SWIFT, so this may have just been some sort of UI issue where after saving a recipient that had all the information needed for a domestic wire but not a SWIFT code they refused to show the option for SWIFT transfers in the UI. They won't even show their UI for this stuff while you don't have a sufficiently large balance with them, so it would take me several days to check the accuracy of their article and to suss out whether my current saved recipient (myself) is only unable to receive large JPY transfers because it has no saved SWIFT code.

I don't think sending larger transfers would save much on fees though. The fees paid to Wise are dominated by the percentage fees for forex conversion.
A few points:

1. You're reading a journal article. They will assume you know the notation not just of the broader discipline (e.g. physics/electrical engineering), but of the subdiscipline and at times the subsubdiscipline. Journal papers are explicitly written not to be easy to comprehend by beginners.[1] Notation will be only one problem you'll face.

2. As has been pointed out, this is not a mathematics paper. Mathematicians have their own notation, as do physicists and engineers. As I mentioned in the above bullet, they can have their own notation even in subdisciplines (e.g. circuit folks use "j" for the imaginary number, and semiconductor folks use "i"). There is a lot of overlap in notation amongst these parties, but you should never assume because you know one notation that you'll easily understand the math written by other fields.

3. Most introductory textbooks will explain the basic notation. Unfortunately, I often do find gaps where you go to higher level textbooks and they use notation that they don't explain (i.e. they assume you've seen it before), but is not covered in the prior textbooks.

4. Finally, sorry to say this, but "delta" (the triangle) for representing change is used in almost all sciences and engineering. It was heavily used in my high school as well. If you're struggling with this you really need to read some introductory textbooks in, say, physics.

[1] I'm not kidding. I've spent time in academia and I've complained how obtuse some articles are, and almost universally the response is "We write for other experts, not for new graduate students". One professor took pride at the fact that in his field, one can comprehend only about one page of a paper per day - and this coming from someone who is an expert. These people have issues.

Slavery has many types and as the Yes Men pointed out in their leisure wear for the future managerial class, one of the most efficient forms of slavery is wage slavery. There are many other forms of slavery that differ from chattel slavery and while I prefer better conditions of my enslavement, being forced to work for others in order to eat and live is still slavery. The conditions which people must navigate in the modern world to survive are not natural and are purposefully set up in order to force people to work for the benefit of others in order to survive. There are many good arguments that wage slavery is still slavery and they are not all a leftist take on things.

But the important thing is not whether something is labeled slavery but rather looking at the dynamic where someone coerces another to spend their time working for someone else. Labeling the dynamic based on the amount of time and degree of suffering is counterproductive. I think most of us can agree that reducing how much that dynamic is in play in the world is ideally a goal for any civilized society. And that the current amount that people are forced to work for the benefit of others is far more than they need to for their own well-being and the wellbeing of society. The amount of labor many, many people are coerced to perform is used as a control mechanism as often as it is for productivity, and in some countries, its use as a mechanism of control rivals productivity as its primary purpose.

Rather than the argument of having middle men vs not having middle men, I’d say that the transparency, accessibility, and hard-set consensus rules are what make something like the Bitcoin blockchain useful. It also allows privacy by means of the ability to generate key pairs and addresses easily and at-will. This combo of features mean that even with middlemen, there are certain rules that cannot be broken without the participation and knowledge of those who use the system.

With banks, money can be secretly and arbitrarily transferred by individuals of power and in some cases even gate-kept from the initial depositors. With crypto I never have to worry about my money being falsely spent under the cryptographic security guarantees of something like Bitcoin. Even with > 51% attacks it would be practically impossible to rewrite significant portions of history and are mostly limited to reorganizing and deleting recent transactions.
I think it’s interesting to me, as I see these comments a lot with PHP specifically and there is at any honest pushback on this, so here’s my attempt:

Just pay what good engineers should be paid. If there are PHP developers out there not getting the same salary as a their peers like this post mentions, you should leave that job for a better one. Please demand better, PHP developers, for all of our sakes. Business always wants to put downward pressure on salary and we need to be united against this regardless of preferred tech stacks

1] learn the greek alphabet if you haven’t already.

2] dive deep into the history of math.

3] youtube…
3 blue 1 brown, stand up maths, numberphile, kahn academy. These channels are your friends.

4] don’t give up and make it fun. Once you’re bit by the bug of curiosity and are rewarded with understanding you’ll most probably be unstoppable but still, its a long road. Better to focus on the journey.

Lastly, the notation is what it is because of the nature of math itself coupled with the history of who was doing the solving exacerbated by the cultural uptake. There have been and will continue to be new notation. Its unfortunate that often to learn a new concept the barrier is with parsing the syntax. Stick with it and stay curious and those squiggles will take on new magical and profound meanings.
