> If it's faster to look it up, why bother learning it? Conversely, if someone had to look it up often, I bet it would be learned. Spaced repetition and all.

Because of what I said, knowing something means you always have access to it. Otherwise this type of hypothetical knowledge may be an unknown unknown for you, even though you could look it up, you don't know to do it. You have access to facts, not understanding.

Real knowledge enriches all areas of life. If you for example learn to write with a pen (not just to scribble crow's feet, proper calligraphy), you will never look at letters the same way again. You could go your entire life not acquiring this understanding, but your world would have fewer colors, less nuance. Handwriting also means you must think through what you want to write before you write it, which is another practical skill.

It's similar with music, if you learn to play an instrument, you will never hear melodies quite the same. Better still if you learn to dance, beyond an entirely new connection with your body, music will forever gain entirely new dimensions.

If you learn to cook, you will appreciate flavor in different ways, be able to pick the taste of individual ingredients when tasting a soup. It isn't just just "that's good", or "that's bad", but "oh, is that celery?"

It's not just about what this knowledge let you do, that is the least of my concerns, but how they shape your relationship with the world. If you only have access to the world through tools, you become cut off from experiencing it.

> I loathe this argument. Compilers or interpreters (computers in general) are sticklers for the exact spelling. Humans aren't; I still understood what you meant when you misspelled "Illiad". Why exactly spend the time and brainpower knowing exactly what something's called, as long as you have a rough idea of how the code works. Or, why spend the time typing it fully if you can have it auto-complete? When do you have to program in any text editor? Or even on paper, where the exact syntax can't possibly matter? (Equally, I'm sure that if this was a necessary skill, people could pick it up - occasionally they do, like for whiteboard interviews.)

This is not my problem with autocomplete, but rather that it prompts you with suggestions for things to type. I absolutely use shorthand when I write code by hand. My beef with autocomplete is that your programming turns into a series of multiple choice questions as to what to do next, rather than something you truly drive by yourself. How questions are posed absolutely shape what sorts of answers you will come up with, and if you are not the one posing the question, you will never truly be in control.
The website was very Korea-themed, so at first I thought it was a Korean company.

> civilization is becoming better (over time) by every single measurable metric.

CO2 concentration in the atmosphere is increasing. Fossil fuel, metals, and other one-off resources being depleted at exponential rate. Biodiversity is collapsing -5 exponential rate.

We are on our way to a grim future by all measurable metric i can think of. The metrics you have in mind are great for the here-and-now, but a blink in the longer timeframe of our species.
Woah! Someone learned a new word and then used it incorrectly!

It's not about OS notifications that you forgot to disable. It's anything that the OS wants to display. Notifications and alerts were just an easy example because everyone knows what they are.

People can still plug their shit in and it'll "work fine". If they're recording audio, they'll see a little dot. If they want control of what shows up on the display, there are answer for that. Pretending like that hasn't always been the case is misguided.

One time pads aren't perfect. The same secret has to be stored on both sides and can be compromised from either side.

It must in no way be possible for any of these companies to ever run a non-verified decryption mechanism on any single server, computer, or other type of device.

There are so many moving parts to manage, infinite possibilities for abuse, and it would require an absolute massive amount of trust in companies with numerous convictions for abuse of precisely that.

I don't use Sublime often anymore, but it's the only graphical editor I can work with. I can't help but get exasperated at the constant, admittedly small, delays with VS Code. I'm talking about small things like the delays when popping open and using the fuzzy finder, the time it takes for a project-wide file search to complete, typed characters showing up just a tiny bit later. Whereas Sublime, for its faults, feels well-oiled, VS Code feels gummy and unable to keep up with me. I know I'm being picky, but it's hard to turn off once you're aware of it, like recognizing bad kerning.

>Maybe it's changed since the sublime 2/3 days, but the packages ecosystem always felt a bit unpolished and anemic.

As far as I can tell it's only gotten worse. The rise of Atom and then VS Code sapped a lot of the energy that went into creating plugins.

Some constitutions contain parts that can't be changed. The most famous example is probably Germany's basic law (technically not a constitution) where article 79(3) prevents changes to articles 1 or 20 of the basic law [1]. Wikipedia lists some other examples [2]. I'm not aware of anyone setting labor law in stone though, that would seem foolish.

Precisely this. This is something that Huxley himself emphasized in his writing. The substance is, like any medicine, an aid to the natural process, not a substitute for it.

When I lived in Sunnyvale and worked on Kiefer Rd, making Sunnyvale paper, I wouldn't call chili's a night out. There was all kinds of excellent Asian food, loads of Indian grocery stores/bakery/sweetshops and strip clubs weren't bad.
Thanks! I'm trying to build a mental model of how well that data corresponds to the "on the ground" situation. Evey datum helps.

It's likely unknowable, but I'd be curious to know how many of those coming in for COVID tests are being required to test.

We all know at this point the symptoms of COVID. It's a generally good idea (as well as the most comfortable option) to avoid the public when ill. Exercising a sick day or call-out option to rest and recoup seems more sensible and causes less risk to the public and the capacity of healthcare institutions than sending every case of the sniffles for a test.
One can imagine why realtors would want to underprice for publicity or whatever, but why would an owner consent to this?

I would bet that TSMC's competitors are similarly investing in new fabs. But TSMC is feeling a greater need to publicize its investments.
When I had a house in Claremont, CA I often found myself traveling a lot. I used to play the "what will my house buy here?" game. Invariably it was always something much nicer, but I liked living in Claremont. I lost that house to unemployment in the 90s recession/housing market crash. Every so often I'll look at it on redfin. It's been improved a fair amount since then, but not so much that it seems like it's really worth 5 times what I paid for it in the 90s.
I think Alan Watts stated something similar in one of his famous speeches. The question is if the value of that experience is the same if it's "unearned" by taking the easy path or if it's better to experience profoundness earlier in life through consuming DMT, LSD or Magic mushrooms than having to meditate for decades first.
When did it become ubiquitous? I first got root privs via sudo on a *nix system in 1991 or so, and I remember it being widely deployed even then.
Does anyone know what reporting practices are like in Japan? I'm definitely not meaning to cast aspersions but I remember early in the pandemic there were concerns cases were being underreported, in part due to issues related to the Olympics. The Olympics have passed but was there truth to any of it and if so is it still an issue?
> I think that most people, who are strongly against hybrid work just have to live in a miserable place like SF for their good software engineering job. It's unfortunate that so many software companies are in the Bay Area with one of the worst real estate markets in the world, horrible commute times and drug/homelessness crisis.

Woah there, if you’re not actually from SF please lay off repeating third hand tropes.

Just like hybrid work is great for some, I’m a fan, but others do best with wfh, Some people love sf and it’s nowhere near as bad as the stereotypes claim. (Except the tenderloin and immediate vicinity)

There’s a reason people would live SF and take buses an hour south to Silicon Valley rather than living in Sunnyvale or Mountain View. Personally I’m actually moving to SF despite my ability to wfh, I’d rather do hybrid and live in sf.
I only mentioned Steam because I've had an experience where that happened to someone. They were running some game (similar to Jackbox but it wasn't that) for a conference and were just outputting the display and the Steam update prompt showed up on top of the display. It wasn't a big deal, it was just an example that summed up exactly the types of things I'm talking about.

And no, this wasn't a Steam overlay. It was a prompt to restart the Steam app to complete some update. That does not need additional permissions.

Or, do you want to try to make another suggestion ?

Meanwhile, criminality is thriving and we are powerless against it. Maybe we should try planting more trees and developing more socio cultural activities ?

Anyway, shouldn't you be against CCTVs because "if the state can see them streams then it means a hacker can see them too" ? I mean, I think that's the whole point being made here against this bill.

You can do a lot better than Chilis. There’s a huge variety of dining options in and around the South Bay, some of them on the higher end. I think the question is more whether the Chili’s is the only game in town or whether you have options that aren’t Chili’s or fast food.
It depends on the military you're talking about. Militias in the Congo? Maybe. Modern militaries? No. They look to break you of your individualism. That little bit of attitude that says, "I matter more than we" is an absolute detriment to small team operations in the military. They spend a significant amount of time, after breaking the individual, teaching recruits collectivism. The military I was in absolutely advocated stoicism and restraint. It's what they call "bearing" and you're continually graded on it. You're also encouraged to read a lot of warrior culture literature that talks about these things in great detail.

Good faith question for you: where did you get the knowledge about the military that you used to make that comment from?
This is simple economics. There is an "overhead" cost required in order to start a task. Each interruption means stopping, then starting again, incurring this cost repeatedly.

The people who force these interruptions don't care about these costs. Sometimes they're naive but more often they're willfully ignorant.
Haven't you heard? Conservatives are the only oppressed people in America.
FYI, Redfin publishes the average percentage that homes in an area sell for relative to last asking price. For Sunnyvale, it's 9% above [1].

(I'd argue that highest asking price would be a better comparison, since the seller might have dropped the price. But still useful.)

The B2 is based out of Whiteman AFB near Warrensburg, MO so roughly 25 miles or 40 km south of where the plane is so it is probably on its final approach to land or just took off.

Show HN: Greatcountry.org – Ranking all countries in the world
I was curious what is the greatest country in the world so took about a week to find out.

The lists one may find in magazines or "news" sites are usually based on just a few factors like income or life expectancy.

I always wondered what would happen if you average in as many factors as you can, including things like happiness, air pollution, olympic medals per capita, climate change risk, wealth inequality...

Using data from reputable sources I assembled the rankings.

Methodology:

- I found as many relevant factors I could with data coming from reputable sources (existing indexes, academic data/research, wikipedia, ...)

- Ranked the countries from the data

- Removed factors that had high Pearson correlation to others (>0.8) so to not repeat a factor in score. This left 16 factors.

- Removed countries that did not have at least 11 factor appearances. This left 139 countries. I did not normalize ranking data for remaining countries, felt that leaving it as is was useful signal.

- Averaged all factors

Observations:

- Greatest country in the world is... Switzerland!

- Only two non-european countries to make it to top 10 are New Zealand and Japan

- Traffic death rate is a pretty good overall indicator of how great a country is (0.81 correlation)

- The highest inverse correlation (-0.58) is between inclusiveness and cocaine use

Wanted to get this concept out there and get some feedback for a v2.

As far as I have found, the yellow ones appear on the first pages and last pages. The first key listed is this: 5HpHagT65TZzG1PH3CSu63k8DbpvD8s5ip4nEB3kEsreAnchuDf

That key might look large, but I believe it is actually the number 1 in WIF format. See here: https://learnmeabitcoin.com/technical/wif
Yes. The politicians constantly talk about the advanced process and Apple. They talk about cutting edge and not the logistical chain. The fear is denial of the advanced process fab.
Im not sure what you mean by high taxes. A house in texas comparably priced to mine is almost 3x my property tax and I get the majority of my income tax back. Texas sales tax is like 1% less than in my town. I just dont see it.
What happens if you are helping a colleague and need to share a code snippet with them? Or you suggest a change to the code during code review? How does your employer get rights to use that code?
Probably not the kind of law you were thinking of, but articles 1 (protecting human dignity) and 20 (enshrining the principles of democracy and rule of law) of the German constitution can not be changed or repealed.

Ask HN: How can I use different proxies for different tabs in my Chrome browser?
I have a bot that I am running, and I need to run 6 instances/tabs simultaneously in one browser. Each tab has to use a different proxy. How can I accomplish this? I am on a Macbook.
I’m not trying to be mean here but the rough experiences you are having with jQuery are not really going to go away with React. I would also not call anything a SPA without a solid router and honestly I doubt the jQuery app has that.

Even if you don’t want to use one of the larger frameworks like Angular or Ember I would still recommend doing a couple of tutorials to see how they construct things. Any app needs an architecture and you are more likely to get a feel for that with something larger like Angular or Ember.

Alternatively find something that can teach you about front end architecture. An SPA is more than a router, views/components and state management (and libs and service objects). Look around a bit to figure out how you want to architect things and what concepts exist.
Every real-world situation is slightly different than the law. Applying the ideas codified in law to the chaos that is the real world is, essentially, half of what makes up jurisprudence. The other half is then reasoning within the framework of the law.

The idea that a specific situation could be captured completely and entirely without ambiguities is the fundamental error in these misguided efforts to create contracts-on-code on the blockchain, and why they can't break out of their tiny box of things that have no meaning in the real world (i. e. NFTs)
How is that a shitty take? Tor is compromised, so are most VPNs, but there are some VPN providers that dont store logs (allegedly) like Mulvad. I would take a maybe-is-compromised think over a known-to-be-compromised , every day. Also Correlation based attacks are not the only Tor flaw.
Most hospitals provide UpToDate for all providers with privileges at the hospital.
I'm pretty sure things peaked in the late 90's.
Is it common to use the forward slash as a separator between sq and ft? My physics brain reads that as squares per foot, which doesn't make much sense.
Yes and for a good many years in the future. It is a very good, practical thing. I doubt it will decrease any political concerns.
What I dont understand is how they calculate rates for loans. I dont know much about DeFi and just consider it as scammy as NFTs, but for me a lending rate is always function of a default risk: too high, no loan, high, high rate, low, low rates.

I've worked in fintech and am in a bank now and we've always had our proprietary mapping table with field studies of default stats and long attribute lists (age, immigration status, salary, number of other loans, number of past default, other assets and so on), and the key was to either religiously stick to these or take strategic decisions to open the valves if needed (say to fit a quota, we let the younger people in for a while).

How is DeFi doing lending rates ?

Edit: got it, over collateralized with valuable collateral confiscated rather than promised so not fit for the same purposes as normal consumer loan. You wont pay your daughter's sweet 16 mega party in mexico or your son's wedding in Singapore or your first car in France with a DeFi loan :D So it's not exactly decentralized finance, it's more decentralized leverage, I guess. At least you cant default a DeFi loan, which sounds reassuring on paper.
As I understand it, the Fabs in AZ are a net positive for the water situation there. They are incredibly responsible users (especially compared to agriculture)

The major reason for them being in AZ is constant(ish) weather, cheap land, workforce, and cheap power.
Software engineering is too broad of a category to make specific recommendations. You've already noted that there are specific recommendations for AI/ML. Anyway, all you need is a decent processor and alot of memory for most use cases.

https://letsdecentralize.org

Here are a few options.
Yeah, I agree with that.

You don't even need the website. Cryptographic keys are just numbers. All data is just numbers. You can write simple code to generate all numbers from zero to infinity and it will eventually generate all cryptograhpic keys, all computer files, all copyrighted works, all hate speech, all child abuse material, everything that can possibly be represented as data.

The thing is the search space is so unfathomably large that such a program will never produce useful results. This is central to cryptography. If a private key is copied, it must have been done so illegally or accidentally. Any other option means the cryptography is defective.

This is the complete opposite of copyrighted works whose entire purpose is copying. The data is already known and they're hopelessly trying to regulate access to it.
A friend of mine lives in a 2k person town in Wisconsin, about a 30min drive from Madison. The house next to his is on the market for ~$100k (3 bed room, in need of some maintenance).

It some ways it's unreal that a house can be that cheap, but considering that I'm not even buying at that price is probably the reason why its that cheap.
To drive more potential buyers to come look at it and to drive up the potential of a bidding war.
Why wouldn't an owner consent to it?

The realtor's going to say: if you underprice then you'll get more offers and have a chance of starting a bidding war, which could put the sales price even higher than if you'd priced it more realistically.

It seems like a pretty clear-cut case of self-interest. And in this case, it looks like it worked.
No, not any worse than they would wherever you're at, yes, and no.

There is no "gotcha" to life in the Midwest, the cost of everything in coastal cities is just ridiculous. You don't have to be surrounded by luddites and people who hate minorities to buy a house for less than $2.6 million.
> Some ISPs don't even give you a real IPv4 address though (they use CGNAT). THEN you have no hope.

That is the case with most people I know: not even the router has a "real ip". Don't know how things have improved with ipv6 though.

Also, in my country, best plans you can get take an optical fiber to your house directly connected to an ISP provided router. You're fully locked out of doing anything with the router except powering it.
