This was cleaned up in the Belgian variant of French: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belgian_French.

- 70 = septante (versus soixante-dix, which is 60-10)

- 80 = huitante (versus quatre-vingt, which is 40-20), *EDIT*: wrong, see below.

- 90 = nonante (versus quatre-vingt-dix, which is 40-20-10)

The article also mentions something interesting I didn't know:

> The use of septante for "seventy" and nonante for "ninety", in contrast to Standard French soixante-dix (literally "sixty-ten") and quatre-vingt-dix'("four-twenty-ten"). Those former words occur also in Swiss French. Unlike the Swiss, however, Belgians never use huitante for quatre-vingts ("four twenties"), with the use of octante in the local Brussels dialect as being the only exception. Although they are considered Belgian and Swiss words, septante and nonante were common in France until around the 16th century, when the newer forms began to dominate.[4]

*EDIT*: This doesn't appear to be true, Belgian French speakers also say quatre-vingt for 80.
I would add that the silly argument that a super-wealthy individual or a government could in theory degrade or destroy a transaction platform is applicable, not just to Algorand and other block chains, but also, more generally, to ANY transaction platform.

I mean, if Doctor Evil suddenly decided to spend tens of billions of dollars to destroy the three main credit card networks, he could probably do it. In fact, it might be easier and cheaper than attempting to degrade or bring down a distributed block chain network. The credit card networks are built upon many layers of ancient, pre-Internet technology, full of discoverable vulnerabilities and critical points-of-failure.

But we all know that it wouldn't happen. Doctor Evil would never want to do so, because even him, the most evil person in the world, would still want to be able to use his credit cards to eat out, go to the movies, and order stuff online. Also, he would never want to do something that would make him enemy #1 of every other person in the planet, including every other super-criminal!

What Doctor Evil actually wants to be able to do is figure out ways to steal or get balances from participants in the network without destroying the network: steal poorly protected wallets, hack into poorly secured exchanges, find ways to get blackmail payments on the network (e.g., by launching DoS attacks on the web), etc. The network itself is too useful to everyone for anyone to want to destroy it.

--

PS. For the record: I have no economic connection to Algorand the block chain nor to Algorand the company, but I'm (superficially) familiar with some of Silvio Micali's past work and also, I know one of the company's top executives. In my judgement, the Algorand block chain has great technology, and Algorand the company has really great people. Their main challenge, as I see it, is overcoming the powerful network effects already accruing to other block chains.
Unless you're the kind of person to print out physical copies of web pages (and I suspect OP may be one of these people), there's no reason to use LaTeX.

Pagination is for paper, not screens. Thus, PDFs, LaTex, and companions, have no place on the Web. [I wrote about this recently here.](https://jonreeve.com/2021/05/stop-making-pdfs/)
I have seen a team be forced to use microservices for things still running on the same machine years later, with absolutely no benefit other than the powerpoint architecture slides looking fancier.
>The Ribbit compiler is written in Scheme and can be executed with Gambit, Guile or Chicken.

Just imagine how one who never used those tools reads it ... especially the "Chicken" part. Don't forget to imagine using search engine to find the meaning of 'Chicken' and how many nice results from the local farms you have to filter out before you find what you need.

Do people think about those things when they invent them?

Seriously with all those names at some point isn't it a good idea to use some prefix-Name where prefix explains what Name does?

Because we see more and more of those "names" and it's getting worse and worse.
Really try to read something in unfamiliar area with all those Chickens Dinosaurs and other artificial life forms )... it's getting a bit crazy.
I'm not sure I get your argument here. On the one hand:

1. shop for a book right on your Kindle device

2. click "buy"

Whereas on the other:

1. go to your computer and search for a book on z-library

2. download the epub

3. convert the epub to a Kindle-compatible format

4. copy the book to your Kindle

Isn't the first workflow clearly "less hassle" than the second?
I have Apple TV for the year because I got a new iPad and I still "pirated" Foundation because the Apple TV app for Roku isn't very good. I hate the interface, the playback skips (very infrequently), and the subtitle support is pretty bad.

There's no way Plex and Emby should be better than Apple's equivalent, but they are IMO.
I think Mazda makes cars that have a screen whose controls are physical.

Why are small creators inherently more entitled to 'support' than larger creators though? Why do we just decide that at a certain threshold, it's fine to take things for free?
Does he or anyone else have a list of locks that are really hard to pick?
The biggest problem with short lines isn't even the line length, it's that it encourages stupid variable names in order to keep things on one line. Silly abbreviations that no one new to the code can figure out are the bane of my existence.
That is not true for Covid. It's an upper respiratory virus which infects others before causing symptoms. It's possible to develop a variant that spreads, but kills everybody (highly unlikely in practice). There is no strong evolutionary pressure like in case of SARS-COV-1
Where America went, the west asprired to. Where China goes....
In Australia, although they pretend they are standing for something different than what China stands for, the reality is that they have started down the path to similar with some of the legislation the have put in the past 5-10 years.

What is it with Murdoch backed Conservative types in the west and their love of Authoritarianism?
If your security model requires exponential increase in the value of crypto, it's a bad security model.
No, you are right. In the old school PoS days when we did Blackcoin we were vehemently against staking from pools.
One thing you have to be aware of, is that the US assumes any financial dealing outside the US is strictly for evading taxes.

If you have a pension fund in your home country, you’ll likely be reporting and paying tax on its interest. Be prepared to have your looked country banks refuse to deal with you or limit you to saving accounts, and lots of other complications. When living in the US, my tax filing (because of I had to sell some non U.S. assets) one year topped 200 pages; and every year it cost me about 5-10 full work days to prepare the tax filing.

Many people just don’t bother reporting everything, whether out of ignorance or out of negligence - and very rarely get audited. But I wasn’t willing to take the risk.

My advice is: before moving, find an accountant who specialized in US tax for people in your country (and the treaty), and discuss your specific situation. Minor changes before moving could make your financial life incredibly less stressful - and most of them cannot be done once you’ve moved.

At the very least, you must know of FBAR, FATCA, and the treaties that apply to you. But really, two hours with a professional tax person will probably have an ROI of x1000 or so.
Definitely not. But you’re still allowed in a car with someone who is not. You have options. You’re not mandated to stay at home if you choose to drink.
It should be obvious any romantic notions of things like helping the environment or saving lives are just costumes for the reality of most modern business motivations: making money.
Does your Mazda not have the physical volume knob in the center console near the cupholder? The touchscreen and steering wheel controls are useless until ~30 seconds after starting the car, but the physical volume knob always works (at in the CX-5).
Well, I really enjoy it. I've been using it on my projects since 2013 (when I first learned that I could use a 2D array as map for a game, haha).

To be honest, I feel I let a lot of people down because I write my projects on it. The radial menu, for instance, o lot of people like it, but they resent the fact that I did not used SVG so it could be styled with css.

This project for instance, I tried to give a glow to the grid but the frame rate dropped to the ground, something that would not happen if I had used webgl.

Anyways, to small games, interactive demos, cool scenes, canvas is my weapon of choice.

If you believe that software engineers are not paid enough and it's morally important to do something about it then apparently I sent the best signal of all by retiring and thereby increasing demand for everyone else. But since this is absurd, I won't pat myself on the back too much.

More generally, free markets are doing absurd things all the time (see Matt Levine) which makes it hard to extend moral reasoning very far without getting the equivalent of divide-by-zero errors. So I don't think we should be all that concerned about how it affects the job market in general when negotiating with an employer. You know what you want better than you know what anyone else wants. Ask to be Paid More (tm) if that's what you want, but if you don't want to, you don't have to and people saying there is some kind of moral imperative to try to become even more wealthy at a faster rate can be ignored.
> Unless you use a different VM for everything

Why yes, that's exactly the idea.
People SAY they want cheaper admission, while the same people would endlessly complain at the inevitable 2-3 hour per ride waits it would create. It's a classic supply and demand problem.

Would you pay half price for an international flight that had all the seats ripped out and standing room only, so you could barely move?
The food is terrible. And such small portions!
But do you really need them all at the same time? Spotify and video call with screen recording at the same time? Screen recording and IDE at the same time? You can present your code without heavy IDEs if you are using screen recording for that. You can also replace Spotify with spotifyd for example, which takes 1/100 of the ram or less. I can also open all my apps at the same time and complain that there is no memory. It might be convenient to keep apps open on background, but you rarely need them at the same time. SSD:s are pretty fast in these days. Just open app when needed.
> Assuming you are high up enough in the organization. Unless junior developers get the same plan and coverage as the CFO.

Companies are required to offer the same benefits to all employees, so yes you do get the same health insurance as the CFO.

This is one reason that companies keep pushing low-level labor jobs to contractors or falsely separate contracting companies. They want to attract software engineers with good health insurance, but avoid offering it to their janitors.
I watched a YouTube video on the creation of Stardew valley. He did everything himself, including music and graphics. He also didn’t compromise on anything. Took him years to finish.

I don’t play games, I still spent 5$ (I think) on the game, just because he is an impressive individual and I wanted to do my part so he stays that way.

Companies underestimate how much love fans have for creators, when they’re sincere and their work is very good. The only way companies know to make money is treat their users like shit, use lawyers all the time etc etc
Based on what I've read this variant produces relatively mild symptoms, but is theorized to be more transmissible amongst vaccinated people due to heavy mutation on the spike protein the vaccines create immunity for.

Is this correct?

It seems like the articles I read on it purposefully try to minimize coverage of the fact that the doctors in South Africa are talking about how mild the symptoms are, and instead seem to be intended to provoke fear.
We explored that (I believe Netflix did, too). The challenge became making relevant promos. I don’t know a lot about the science of producing trailers, but if you look at old ones they are more dated than the movie. The cost of what you’re suggesting is high, and there isn’t a lot of evidence that it really improves conversion.

My vehicle (different make/year) does the radio thing too.. even sometimes if the bluetooth isn’t playing anything. Super annoying. I found a somewhat reliable workaround though; I switch to XM radio which I’m not subscribed to and then to BT when that happens.. then when then it falls back it tries to play the locked XM channel (or channel 0 which just shows radio ID)
My current desktop has an SVG as the wallpaper for my main display and a webp on the second one. I guess I could switch them over to a png or something, but I'm too lazy and I haven't noticed any issues with it.
Ugh. I was an antisocial jerk trolling IRC in the early 90s. I would use shell accounts to ping flood servers and cause netsplits just so I could take control of a channel and change the topic to something dumb.
How no one goes there anymore if you are saying that is too crowded?
So it’s almost as if the “ancient” qualifier was useless.
Obviously, you don’t go 110% the first time.

You should ease into it, push harder as the weeks go on and you gain more experience in the movement.

The idea is that you body doesn’t require hours and hours of exercise to make change, just enough signal that the your current strength is not enough, and enough time and food for your cells to do the work.

I wouldn’t do it with an amount of weight that is dangerous or with fast movement.
Ask HN: What did you get this black Friday?
I didn't find anything particularly interesting or well priced... so I got myself a SecureCRT license.
Is it an expensive day? Sure.

Would almost every guest prefer to pay less? Absolutely.

But just to be a contrarian and play Devil's Advocate, what if one were to make the argument that Disney is actually severely, ludicrously underpriced?

Despite allegedly being at a fraction of capacity, the place is still uncomfortably jam-packed, with obscene waiting times at most rides. That's indicative of a venue that hasn't reached price equilibrium. There's so many Disney fanatics, I bet they could double or triple prices and still only take a minor hit to overall attendance.

And actually, many guests might actually prefer paying more, despite any preferences they might initially express. Think about it, if could ride 2 or 3 times as many rides in a day due to reasonable crowds, then you might be happier spending 1 or more fewer days in Orlando and save time and money overall paying more per day for a much better experience.
Yeah a friend of mine recently rented a car and it was so frustrating just to configure audio playback. Android Auto kept popping up on my phone, and I had to manually switch the car to bluetooth every time, which meant menu diving and then asking my friend to pull over so I could pair my phone/adjust the audio settings. Really stupid all around.

On the other hand, my car (a 2006 Hyundai Sonata) has a CD drive and a radio, with a knob for volume and a knob for tuning, and that's it. I keep a stack of CDs in the car plus a little bluetooth-to-FM dongle which I rarely ever use, because I usually either enjoy my CDs or want to hear what's on the radio!

Only feature I'd really want from a fancy HUD is rear camera, as I do a lot of parallel parking in Brooklyn, but idk, I've gotten pretty good at doing it without "assistance".
Italians are not racists, Italians are chauvinists. They are acting against other Italians as well. If you're not local (from the village, town, municipality), you're _not local_ and that's about it.

It is part of their culture. The problem runs deep and is shared by countries in the North border (Switzerland, Austria, France).

The history of institutional racism in Europe is different. The levels of institutional racism and violence the US went through in the 20th century are extreme to whatever happened in Europe, barring notable examples (Nazi Germany).
It's still SharePoint but simultaneous editing works reasonably well (with auto save versioning instead of check outs and check ins).
I think most experienced engineers realize on-call is a complete fool's game -- you will never get accolades for fixing shit at 2am. Literally never. Your only "reward" will be to become the escalation point to continue getting called at 2am. It's not only mentally demanding work, but also bottom-feeding work that gets no recognition. No one is doing their best work after being woken up in the middle of the night, it's all band-aid hacky fix shit that is being generated. Also in general the type of personality who would tolerate working 2+ hours beyond their working time is probably the type of person that isn't even going to use up all of their PTO to begin with, so I always find those kinds of rewards laughable.
Very nice post!

Small comment: Ideally, big-O notation is for upper bounds. If you are doing lower bounds, you should ideally use big-Omega notation. But Omegas are harder to format in plain text, so it may be better to abuse notation and use big-O...
A recent-model Outback, probably a 2021?

This is what it looked like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akCh_LyGOt0 There are more knobs than I remembered, but the overwhelming sense was that the touchscreen made difficult things possible, but the simplest things more-difficult.

Many of the climate settings are in software. The seat-heaters as a software switch are a big step backward from the 2013 Outback's dedicated buttons, too.
4:30: half 5

Note that to an English-speaking person, this is wrong, as "half 5" means 5:30. I once tried to explain that logic to a few Brits, in that the German "half 5" means "half [of the hour from 4 to] 5" instead of "half [past] 5", but to no avail.

If their actions are indistinguishable from the actions of evil bogeymen, I do wonder what the real difference is.

I think the truly worst people alive right now are really, really fucking charming and 'nice' to have dinner with in a fancy hotel - they get plenty of practice - but if kindly confronted with undeniable evidence of their harms they would immediately rationalize their actions with bullshit, and get as far from you as possible.

I feel that it's cheating here to include android and ios in this list, since so much stuff that is developed either:

* is only for those two (and sometimes only one of those) platforms

* the preferred "version" on those platforms in an app, rather than web-based

It's clear from the scope of the mobile app market that there's a huge marketplace for a kind of application that essentially never existed on desktops. It seems a little bold to insist that the same x-platform toolkit must service mobile and desktop contexts, when so much is different between them, in particular display size and interaction style. Even more so when the evidence seems to be that not even the web has really managed to do this.
You can just wrap the literal in a conversion function, eg Float32(0x1p52), which should get constant propagated at compile time.
Piracy implies theft and sounds more serious; where as copyright infringement does not sounds as exciting...

(from wikipedia...)

Copyright infringement is the use of works protected by copyright law without permission for a usage where such permission is required, thereby infringing certain exclusive rights granted to the copyright holder, such as the right to reproduce, distribute, display or perform the protected work, or to make derivative works

Theft is the taking of another person's property or services without that person's permission or consent with the intent to deprive the rightful owner of it.
