To see less cynicism we would have to live in a meritocracy, everyone being rewarded according to the things they do. But since most people and all people in the positions of power seem to try to get a larger piece of the pie for themselves, regardless of actual merits, not being cynical seems to put you in a losing situation.

Being cynical does not mean being pessimistic. It does not mean to always think bad about other people. It means seeing things close to what they are. Yes, there is goodwill and kindness and altruism. And you should recognize them when you come across them. Just don't assume that anyone is being kind and good. Try to find what is the goal people are following when they say or do something. Because there is always a goal. Which might fit your own goals or not.
If it's greater fool plus no inherent value of the underlying then that's a Ponzi Scheme. You aren't buying anything, no revenue stream, no dividends, no assets, no cash, etc, just the hope you can sell to a greater fool. A Ponzi Scheme is the same thing - you can make money if and only if suckers keep putting money into the scheme (and you cash out at the right time).
I had to deal with Arabic one for a coworker, in a database where most other data were in English. The main pain point was the right to left writing and thus the weird behavior for selecting text that occurred in the text editor when mixing scripts. I wish I could force selection to always be right to left even if that doesn't make sense in the target language but would make copy pasting easier.

You do. Make an effort to think of the many cases in life where people do things for each other without money. Parents will host you for free, shelters do it, woofing or being au-pair, etc.

Open-source can be run like a business, but it can just as well be run like a shelter, or language-enthusiasts club, and any other form of human social organization.

In the same way, people do ride-sharing for a fee, yet you can also put your thumb in the air and people will gladly share their ride for free.

I had similar doubts initially. I went for the name they used in the paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2102.05169.pdf. It takes the sentence out of its original context. A "contextualizer" might instead turn a transcluded paragraph included as is in different notes and integrate it more coherently in the context.

Have you tried taking backup of those apps? If not then I'm sorry to tell you my friend that you're yet to witness the true Hell.

I want to delete my FB account, So I initiated backup(download of page) for my apps, One such app had large number of users and so I expected the download file to be ready in couple of days as informed by FB. It showed 'Pending' for a long time.

Several months have passed, My download didn't get generated and the 'Request a download' button is again active. That promised email from FB never arrived nor does it show that the download files were ever generated(Other pages with smaller users show that). FB for some reason has decided not to provide me with the download of my FB page.

Now I cannot delete my FB account until this gets sorted and I don't know how to sort this out.

I think I can convince you otherwise.

If I publish a paper saying I have an algorithm which can factor large composites, and in the paper publish the factors to all of the RSA numbers listed at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA_Factoring_Challenge , then I think people will take it seriously, and not consider it at the superficial level.

Even if I don't publish the algorithm. ("Because of the security implications of this work, I have decided to withhold publication for a year.")

Furthermore, some things are worth publishing even if the methods was "it came to me in a dream" à la Kekulé's snake. If you can demonstrate a sorting network of size 47 for n=14 input (which is the known lowest bound) then you can publish that exemplar, even without publishing the method used to generate it.

(If you used computer assistance then that method would likely also be publishable, but that's a different point. Newton famously used the calculus to solve problems, but published their proofs using more traditional approaches.)

If you can come up with a protein model that is a significantly better fit to the X-ray diffraction data, then that's publishable too, no matter how you came up with that model.

In all of these cases, there are ways to verify the validity of the results without reproducing the methods used to come up with the result.

It's an interesting paper, but unfortunately it misses the point.

Polar dissimilar political beliefs are not the problem. Many countries have this, and even have lively political discussions that remain civil, rallies that remain civil, and elections that remain civil.

The actual problem is psychological, specifically dealing with identity beliefs. Once a person takes on a belief as part of their identity, any attack upon that belief becomes an attack upon the person, at which point they will retaliate for the offence or dig in to defend. This is most commonly observed in the "Backfire Effect".

Identity beliefs are pervasive in the USA, so much so that I doubt many are aware of it (the authors of this paper certainly aren't). For example, in America you say "I'm a Republican." but in Germany you say "I support the CDU." Notice the difference? One is an identity, the other is an action. Guess in which of these countries you can have polite (even if heated) dinner conversations about politics!

Identity beliefs aren't limited to politics, either. They can be religious, ethnic, or even ideological (e.g. incels, preppers, anti-vaxers, jihadists, etc).

I'm assuming by this, in the last paragraph:

"By realizing that the world is always changing, and by stopping to complain, we opt out of seeing the world through cynical glasses, and become part of the change. When we realize that our life can change, we can change it."

The author actually meant this:

"By realizing that the world is always changing, when we stop complaining, we opt out of seeing the world through cynical glasses, and become part of the change. When we realize that our life can change, we can change it."

The meaning of the original text to a native English speaker is, I think, the exact opposite of what the author intended.

Otherwise, great thought-provoking article, and I think I'll try that no complain challenge. Interesting discussion here too.

Both sides contributed significantly to the polarization and brought us down this path. The believe otherwise is to have been fooled by one of the sides.

I think because it's not practical yet. I'm not sure if it ever would be, but if SpaceX gets starship right it brings us one big step closer to that. Also I think most people would prefer to remain on Earth. But moving some kinds of industry to space could be useful. Asteroids contain an abundance of elements that are difficult to extract here on Earth. If much of the demand for them was also in space due to heavy industry there, that might make it viable. Having heavy industry in space like that could really open up orbit and the solar system to us.

No I don't think it's that either: for example many seem to get especially upset when I suggest that most developed countries have naturally slightly declining populations so they should more or less be left alone rather than implement policies to drive population growth.

How would you test a REST endpoint, if I may ask? Because in the end it will somehow reply to a request. But that response has quite a few things going on — if you give back the url of a templates string as a constant, is that meaningful to unit test that? For anything more complex you should be writing a service which can and should be unit tested. But I believe that the set of headers, security! and the like is not in the realm of the quite complex job of endpoints. By that you would be testing the Spring library, which presumably happens on spring’s side.

More efficient transit of data over a network is one reason. Protocols like ethernet have specific length constraints, introducing padding and parsing stages that increases latency and resource use.

One of the developers posted the following in a previous hn thread:

1) IP (and Ethernet etc) has source addresses in every packet. Ouroboros negotiates them at the start of the communication, and only has the destination address in the packets. This improves end-user privacy a great deal.

2) The Ouroboros end-to-end protocol, (which has the RTT estimator and retransmisison timeout (RTO) timer), runs in the library between the actual server and client programs. It runs at sub-millisecond accuracy. If there is an underestimation of RTT, at worst it retransmits a few extra packets (See 3). But these improve the RTT estimate.

3) Default TCP congestion control doesn't play nice in lossy situations, having severe issues with throughput because of AIMD. Ouroboros completely splits the network and end-to-end protocol. Therefore the architecture only allows congestion control using Forward ECN at the network protocol (and only the network protocol). This is similar to the operation of DCTCP, but DCTCP has the ECN in the network protocol (IP), and the notification in the end-to-end protocol (TCP). I'm not fond of that as a solution (however, if I would run a commercial datacenter, I would run DCTCP, no doubt about that).

4) The Ouroboros end-to-end protocol is based on Delta-t, which doesn't require the 3-way handshake of TCP. It does have a two-way handshake (called flow allocation) to negotiate endpoints and the peer addresses (as to avoid sending src in every packet). But it can also do a ECDHE key exchange at that time. So it can establish an encrypted end-to-end connection in 1 RTT. The implementation still does it in 2 phases, (it's on my to-do list to piggyback the public keys).

5) Ouroboros has 2 types of layers, one for unicast and one for broadcast. This is where I think it really shines. The broadcast layer allows easy implementation of what is known as a "multicast service". A PoC is in the obc program.

I have a few suggestions that might make this more useful for an international audience.

- I suggest that you offer people the option to use long dates; 7th June 1980. When reading in a hurry a little redundancy can be helpful.

- abbreviations like DOB, ZIP, etc., are not necessarily universally understood.

- the address should be a free text multiline field to allow addresses to be written in the customary form in different countries. Not everyone has a house number or postal code.

As all the information is optional it would probably be useful to include a field for things like national ID numbers, social security numbers, etc. The point is that this number give emergency medical facilities a way to quickly access a person's medical records in some countries.
Good. Doesn't excuse his anti-competitive behavior that killed lots of companies in the 90s or his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

Clojure Guides: Laziness in Clojure
Microsoft App Center: You can upload your APKs to MS App Center and create a link without login requirements. The additional Distribute SDK will notify users about new app updates when the app is running. You could probably setup an own repeating update task which checks if updates are available. Apparently you can have up to 2000 users in one app version release.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/appcenter/sdk/distribute/an...

Firebase App Distribution: Pretty much the same like MS App Center but from Google. You can upload APKs and App Bundles and create public invitation links. The firebase SDK handles app updates as well. You can have up to 200 testers in one distribution.

https://firebase.google.com/docs/app-distribution?hl=en

If I recall correctly, MS App Center doesn't come with analytics unless you add it yourself. For firebase, you should explicitly disable analytics if you don't want it.

In both cases you will still have to explain to your users how to allow installation of "apps from unknown sources".

While security was one of the concerns which Apple brought up in "Thoughts on Flash" [1], it was a relatively minor one. The big highlights were standards compliance and performance.

It was very easy to make stuff on it it was developer and artist friendly (still has lots of cool stuff that doesn't exist), it was a standard, but performance wise it sucked, and I would find it interesting for you to tell me what "web wellbeing" is. I would say that any analytics, advertising, and (my most controversial opinion) javascript is bad for web wellbeing. Every issue you leveraged against flash is the same with javascript.

In Poland, gift cards are relatively common, but not common enough. The problem is there are many different stores, and it might be hard to gauge which card the recipient would be interested in the most. For women, IKEA cards are common (for furniture). Empik (a store with books, board games, video games and some random third party stuff) is a popular gift card choice. So is Allegro (all kinds of products, started as Ebay-like service, these days is more like Amazon/Aliexpress connecting third party vendors to buyers).

For gamers, Steam cards are not too bad.
That quote reminds me of the song _Bright Horses_, by Nick Cave (who lost his son to a tragic accident some years before).

"We're all so sick and tired of seeing things as they are / Horses are just horses and their manes aren't full of fire / The fields are just fields, and there ain't no Lord"

and later

"Oh, oh, oh, well, this world is plain to see / It don't mean we can't believe in something, and anyway / My baby's coming back now on the next train / I can hear the whistle blowing, I can hear the mighty roar / I can hear the horses prancing in the pastures of the Lord"

I strongly prefer monorepo setups. We used to have a multi-repo setup but ended up transitioning to a monorepo and have been extremely happy with our decision.

Multi-repo setups induce a lot of overhead, especially if you don't already have people on your team who know how to manage them. Monorepo setups are just /easier/ on average.
To illustrate, here's a simple situation you might run into: you're attempting to upgrade two software components at the same time.
For a multi-repo: you open up PRs with the updates for each repo, great. Now you want to test that the two PRs work correctly together. So you might have a third repository with integration tests that can stand up both components with references to your other repositories via submodules. You create a branch on your integration testing repository and check out the appropriate branches of each submodule. You'll also need to keep these submodules updated whenever you update the corresponding PRs. If both updates need to be atomic then you'll need something to make sure both PRs are merged before any releases get cut. You'll have to start throwing some serious automation on top of all of this or it'll become too annoying to manage.
For a monorepo: you create one PR with changes to both components. All of your tests run within the monorepo.
Because when the points of meaningful disagreements are few, people often have a need to emphasise those points in order to justify their choice.

I don't think this is by any means universal and it doesn't need to get hostile.

Proportional systems often force parties to be prepared to cooperate or be left with no influence so even with starkly polarised views on certain issues it doesn't pay to get too hostile about it. To take a concrete example, in Norway the two centre-right centrist parties are classical liberals (Left/Venstre) and Christian democrats (KrF/Christian Peoples Party). The Christian democrats are hardline on abortion by Norwegian standards. It's of course genuinely important to them, but it's also clear that it's gained extra importance to them as one of the few areas where they clearly stand out to their potential voters. Yet they remain on "friendly terms" with the liberals who are one of the most firmly pro choice parties. I'm guessing part of this is that in addition to being aligned on a number of policy areas they're also not competing for the same voter base, so letting the polarisation escalate to hostility serves no purpose for either of them.

But when you have two parties fighting over control in a non-proportional system and you care about power in the short term, it pays for them to both seek towards the other to fight over voters near the centre and to exaggerate the importance of the remaining differences.
