I am fully supportive of moving the economy to a “Star Trek” model, and think that from a technical perspective that doing so will be achievable within the next 1-2 decades.

It would require both political will and lack of obstruction from large employers and entities invested in residential real estate however, and I don’t see that happening in the US for the foreseeable future short of a near-total turnover of the current elected body of politicians, rooting out any who would rather be in the pockets of lobbyists than represent the people.
oh, the dev that made nord, told me the exactly the same.

But I find it difficult to compare them,to behonest.

I was inspired by IBM ( carbondesignsystem .com) snippets.

Thank you for the kind words, really appreciate.

Niches to Specialize in on Upwork in 2022
I'll just put out my list since it's probably what people browse those threads for.

I just finished it so I might be biased, but Miller's "A canticle for Leibowitz" is some of the best Sci-fi I've read. Extremely thought provoking, and you get the opportunity to read from someone coming from a very different place than your usual sci-fi writer. I loved the setting and the plot, monasteries are definitively a unique setting for Sci-fi (Think Il Nome della Rosa by Eco meets Mad Max)

Philip K. Dick also has a very unique outlook and is worth a read, either through "Do Androids dream of electric sheep" or "Ubick" (warning: Ubick is extremely weird)

Given my native tongue is French, I'll not forget Barjavel, excellent writing (although I read it in the original French). Like Miller, the philosophy is very different from your usual Sci-fi. La Nuit des Temps (or "The Ice People") and Ravage ("Ashes, Ashes") are great reads.

For Gibson, I'd recommend the Bridge trilogy ("Virtual Light", "Idoru" and "All Tomorrow's Paties") over Necromancer. Gibson writes prose like poetry, it's the best English literature I've read. His writing has a literal taste, sweet yet with a nuanced and rich flavor. Once you are into a book, each sentence is a pleasure to read. But he doesn't make any compromises for newcomers. Necromancer is really hard to grasp. Since the Bridge books are set in a world more similar to our own, it may be more approachable to someone new to the author.

Asimov and Clarke were very popular at their time. But I think they didn't age well. The recommendation in the OP of the Foundation series (though I recommend you limit yourself to the original trilogy) is alright. The idea is very unique, but the writing is poor, and well, gender has a weirdly backward role for a futuristic society.

OP is missing Clarke. Classic author who is responsible for 2001 A Space Odyssey. However, Clarke best work is "Childhood's end". Yeah, the new-age ending didn't age well, but it's still really good. "Rama" is good too, but the sequels do not hold up.

Greg Egan is very obtuse, you need a very good level of math to understand some of his work. But not all of his novels are intractable. I loved "Distress", it introduced me to a very different way to think about gender identity.

I'll second The Tchaikovsky recommendation from OP ("Children of Time") It's very high on my Sci-fi tier list. I'm surprised to see him in such a list, because he's not the conventional Sci-fi recommendation. But it makes sense, Children of Time is such a unique and excellent novel. The premise is insane, the story is excellent, and the writing tops if off. It works surprisingly well.

I'm a big fan of Charles Stross. Accelerando and Glasshouse are definitively very good. But I'll go and recommend "Saturn's Children". It's more his style: Very much like Tchaikovsky, his premises are insanely ridiculous and almost outrageous, but perfectly coherent. His work is so much fun! It's a blast to read through his novels.
They’re not particularly memorable. I have already forgotten 2/3 just aftee closing the rfc.
The Fish suggestion the GP is describing isn't based on history, although it also autocompletes from commands in your history that way. That's part of the baseline autocompletion functionality of the whole shell, for all command names, local files, etc.
Good content stands on its own. A youtube SEO strategy feels very hallow.
Exactly this.

I script in bash (though I'm super interested in oil), and use fish as my interactive shell, it's pinned to screen 0 in my screen session.
I feel like TypeScript and Flow went down the structural typing path (rather than relying on nominal types) because they were following what was popular in JavaScript at the time, not because it is an unequivocally better solution. The last time I programmed PHP, I didn't feel having to define lightweight classes was a big deal.

The examples you mentioned are interesting because I consider `options` arguments to be a code smell that tends to happen because TypeScript is missing named parameters, which PHP has. And typing JSON messages is far from a solved problem in TypeScript, because there is no widespread solution for runtime type checking.

You're assuming that most of the writing is done on computers - but depending on the discipline - it isn't : computers aren't nowhere nearly good enough to compete with paper / chalk (/ even whiteboard !) when it comes to mathematics-heavy domains.

> there's zero accountability. If this entire thread ends up being wrong -- as so many of these Twitter hot takes have been proven to be wrong from last year -- no one cares.

Holy cow. We have one of these handed down to us. After learning how to calibrate the springs, it runs great. Didn't realize how much wealth it created for us as well.

hey, just wanted to thank you for the work you're doing here on HN. Thanks again, have a nice day.
No, not just oops. I get to see the state of the entire application with different values.
That's a tough one. I had a similar reaction: this is science, not tabloid, why are we mixing the two? On the other hand, Twitter is a weird-ass mechanism that can disseminate all sorts of information instantly. On the third hand, information is not knowledge, they are two very different things: Knowledge is power, Information seems to cause chaos.

I'd prefer we stick to the research paper format for stuff like this where there is a distinct space for results, and a distinct space for conclusions. Let's make knowledge out of the information first.
Same folks say Perl is unreadable because the syntax for certain aspects of the language is unfamiliar to them.

I was replying to the assertion that no Constitutionally granted right suggests a right to repair. The 2nd Amendment very clearly does in explicitly calling out a citizen's right to keep arms, which back then also meant in being secure I the capacity to keep those arms operating.

Nevermind the 10tg that calls out everything not explicitly listed, and sets up an implicit grant to the People of any Rights not specifically disincluded by State Constitutions. So the entire assertion of the non-existence of a right to repair is fundamentally ludicrous.
The reason is that POSIX shells are ugly and stupid, and fish syntax fixes (some of the) fundamental errors made in Bourne shell. Things like "${args[@]}" and other quoting and array-expansion syntaxes should not exist. Subshells are difficult and surprising. Weird keywords (esac) are weird.

Note how Plan 9 rc is also not POSIX.

> After 6 months your Rpi4 will be costing less than the VPS.

No, $10 per year, not per month. That means the rPi payback is 5-6 years, and for inferior hardware and bandwidth.
Very nice to see the Culture there. Very underrated. Everytime I try to convince my friends to read it they call me a commie bastard. Not cool.
Trust (i.e., the lack there of) has been a leading signal since pre-2016. It's driving social norms, the political process, as well as the interpretation of pandemic experts.

Has (lack of) trust spilled over into the economy? Well, of course. It's everywhere.

Mind you, this "force" isn't often recognized and acknowledged so this article isn't a total loss. But if trust is the basis of every relationship - and it is - then things are going to trend worse before they get better.
I can't imagine it being any slower then it already is out of the box.
Where there is a partially vaccinated population, yet still widespread infection, then there will be strong selection pressure for vaccine immune escape (and indeed prior infection immune escape).

It may not be this variant, but if such an escape variant emerged, it would quickly spread - assuming the mutations don't interfere too much with viability and transmission.

Vaccines, with other measures as necessary, should be used to suppress a highly contagious virus to nearly zero (trigger warning!!) to prevent this from happening.
That's a CLI, not a TUI, but it is awesome that they've now made the CLI configuration worflow feature-complete!
>Censorship in China is not about removing posts that criticize the government. Censorship is applied equally on praises and criticisms of the state.

There are other taxes than just income tax.

There's also capital gains tax or even wealth tax. Especially the last one will target the wealthy.
> without anyone discussing why

Why does it need to be discussed? Not actively maintained says it is either "done" or abandoned.

It is also a (weak) proxy for popularity, meaning if I do run into an issue an active repo means I am more likely to get help.

A quick glance at the git repo shows that it has builds set up on travis that are failing, and an unanswered question in the issue tracker. Neither of these inspire confidence that it will "work great"

Of course not, it is just a way to show how fast things can go with PHP.
If I recall correctly, the stated reasoning is that most software construction today relies heavily on combining libraries, and the batteries-included nature of Python allows them to get to this point earlier in the semester. Also, using Python makes more of the material directly transferable to upper-level machine learning and big data subjects.

As far as buzzwords, I think the weight of "MIT" is much heavier than any buzzwords that could be attached. (Though, I'm biased.)
But there are different kinds of gambling. VTI will almost certainly crush inflation over a period of decades. The weird token that my brother-in-law is buying doesn't have the same risk profile as that.
> The main problem computation on the world's slowest most expensive computer solves is lack of trust in doing it on any other computer

This is an invented problem. "lack of trust" is an meaningless abstract; there is no specific concrete benefit to "solving" it.
I have seen plenty of PHP projects without any frameworks used. Big ones as well. One of these projects is automation for a complete manufacturer factory. Robot controllers, Serial hardware drivers written in PHP, Realtime application with PHP instances running for multiple years. No frameworks used at all. There is more than only webapps.
I still have a Linux desktop machine but it doesn't get used a whole lot. Last time I tried Xubuntu on a laptop it still had problems with HiDPI and battery life. What's holding me back now is that I've switched to using a custom keyboard mapping and only made macOS/Windows layouts for it. If I can source a hardware USB mapper that would work, otherwise I have to do it twice again for Linux console and graphical.
I keep hearing people saying “yes there are third party sellers but if you buy ‘shipped and sold by amazon’ then you’re good”

These people don’t realize that commingling is a thing and that shipped and sold by amazon just means that the same random third party seller simply paid amazon a bit more and sent their items to an amazon warehouse to use their logistics. It doesn’t guarantee anything. And except amazon basics items, amazon doesn’t sell or source any of the items directly. Nor do they feel like they’re responsible for them in any way.

I tried ROCm. I bought a supported card (RX570/RX580 series). Within 12 months, AMD dropped support. Newer versions of ROCm didn't work with the card. Older versions didn't actually work either, since all other tooling assumed newer versions. Dependency hell. When things kinda started working in one context, where I could use old tooling (not the one I wanted to use ROCm in), it CUPy was slower than CPU, and then hard crashed my computer randomly. I read a web page that the card can either act as HIP or a graphics card, but not both at the same time. I have no idea if that's right, but if it is, it's dumb.

AMD had no support. Card maker said this didn't fall under warranty. I got burned over and over.

I bought NVidia. It just worked.

I'm working on a potentially major piece of infrastructure, and AMD is accumulating debt. If it worked out-of-the-gate, I imagine we would have kept support. Within 6 more months, we'll be NVidia-specific. AMD will be that much further in the hole for support.

I'd love for ROCm to win, since I think open is critical here. On the other hand, I can't imagine it will. AMD would need to run this as a loss leader for a while, and engineer this at a level to get this competitive with NVidia.

A half-baked product like ROCm seems like a money hole for everyone involved. Customers get burned, and I can't imagine AMD comes out positive.

In the meantime, NVidia is minting gold here.
I sorta did this from 2020-2021 after I graduated university. Lived at home for a year while learning topics that interested me. It was one of the best things I've ever done and my confidence and outlook on life improved significantly as a result. I was always in "the system" but I never thrived in it. Felt like I was always doing stuff on other peoples time and penalized for deviating from whatever rigid guidelines they dictated. Being able to do stuff for myself and on my own schedule was liberating. Motivation I lacked for most of my life was present because I actually had a personal stake in my learning.

And with that being said, I have no idea how you unschool as an adult without having significant capital. I wanted to unschool for a long-time prior to 2020 but working/doing school 8 hours a day left me with little energy. I was fortunate to be able to live under my parents roof rent-free in 2020 and the COVID relief money I received from the government was enough to let me purchase the resources I needed (lots of books). If I didn't have these benefits I doubt I could do such a thing. I definitely couldn't do such a thing if I still had to work full-time - believe me I tried many times.

Not to mention there is a lot of stigma around doing this as an adult if you don't have capital. I'm young and don't have any dependents so the consequences of potential failure weren't as significant. But if I did? I think that would create a lot more crippling self-doubt throughout the entire process.
Speaking anecdotally, it does. Sometimes (not as much in the past couple years with Adafruit) I’ve been shopping for electronics kits on the internet and would usually bounce when the prices weren’t in USD. Occasionally I’d see the magic switch currency button, but usually it’s 10px wide somewhere I don’t see it.
wait, are you actually arguing in defense of amazon that this wouldn't happen? you're suggesting content would not be co-mingled?
Does your profile call `exec fish -i` rather than just `fish -i`? In that case, you'll only exit once :)

From the `exec` manual:

If exec is specified with command, it shall replace the shell
with command without creating a new process. If arguments are
specified, they shall be arguments to command. Redirection
affects the current shell execution environment.

When I was growing up, I saw Triumph of the Nerds by Bob Cringely on PBS. About midway through as I recall there's Jim Warren sitting in a hot tub with a killer view talking about the West Coast Computer Faire and early computing. I had only recently started coding in QBASIC then Visual Basic. Seeing that documentary helped cement my interest in programming and computers in general.

Thanks Jim!

This pretty much concurs with the current BBC reporting, just with more graphs: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-59418127 It's honestly better than I'd expect from any of the usual American publications these days as well.
So far, not much: it appears that there are very few cases confirmed (10 so far). If all those people isolate and don’t contaminate anyone, that could be the end of it. But one of them just flew on an intercontinental flight, so… yeah, things might not be contained.

If even one of them transmit to someone else, who transmit is themselves… this could spread like the Delta variant. There has not been any clinical test on the effectiveness of vaccines, of course; however, with so many mutations, in particular the mutations on the parts that code the spike protein, the vaccines that have proven effective so far (which focus on that spike) are likely to be far less effective. It’s likely we would develop new vaccines, but that presents more risk, so would need more tests, etc. Lockdowns are likely in the meantime.
I think you are going to have to prove that "violent protesters are CCP agents".
Another good one is "Elements of Clojure" (https://elementsofclojure.com/) which I think is a slightly misleading title. It's a generally good programming book, it just happens to use Clojure for it's examples, but I don't think it's required to know Clojure to understand the concepts explained in it. Also been discussed here before: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21090288 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11306519
I've used quite a few toasters in my years (including this one), but don't understand why, as the toaster gets older, it tends to burn toast. I've noticed this from both cheap, and not-so-cheap toasters. Any ideas what changes in a toaster over a few years of use to cause this?

I've picked up these from hard rubbish a couple of times, but they did tend to burn the toast a bit; kind of wishing I had tried to re-furbish them, now knowing how the mechanism works.
They take inspiration from everything! I think that's one of the most interesting aspects of PHP design since version 5.0 is that they sort of unpretentiously take the good concept and syntax ideas from any language that has them.
Ah, I totally forgot about the domain name (255) and label (63) length limits: thanks!

Still, we are looking at roughly 38*255 possible options (a-z, 0-9, a hyphen and dot to separate labels; "roughly" because each label between periods can be up to 64 characters, labels must be non-empty, and hyphens can't start a label).

As you said, it's pretty large: compared to 2*32 of IPv4 or even 2*128 of IPv6, this is more than (2*5)*255 = 2*1275 options.

I think the history of COVID disagrees with this.

If the scientist is completely wrong then the impact is that governments and the public took precautions that were unnecessary. But most of those impacts e.g. banning visitors from hot-spots, stronger health measures e.g. mask-wearing come with limited downsides and potentially huge upsides i.e. saving lives.

So it seems like that scientists should do more to engage with the public and communicate any potential threats as clearly and early as possible.
