Programmer isn't a profession though.

It's missing things like licensing groups to limit the supply of labour. Similarly, while some programmers are highly educated, plenty are self taught or started working after a couple weeks of boot camp.
Vibrations from wind are causing "extreme nausea" in skyscrapers on Billionaire's Row

https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docInde...

Vibrations also are a huge challenge for micro gravity experiments on ISS, where every source of noise down to a cosmic ray has to be accounted for. NASA invented a compact dampener, essentially linear springs in tensile harmony.

Best of Luck!

I am double glad to read this. I am pretty much the same. I just cannot work when other people are around. I tend to end up helping them on some of their tasks and do my work when they all have left. The problem is that doing so gets work done , but you get a bit burny and your, if any, social life suffers.

I have since then, done the following, found a special zone/cabin and started to make a list when I go to this cabin. This has helped on tasks that I like to do (like designing and programming) but I still have to slog through other tasks (making presentations and writing pointless documents) in the late evenings.

The guide that helped me was this : https://adhdatwork.add.org/adhd-accommodation-guide/
Even before breaking them, I think one of the bigger problems with best practices in practice is, that many people have forgotten or never tried to understand why they exist in the first place, what problems they are trying to solve and how, their scope and what the trade-offs are you are making by implementing them.

Instead they get treated as magic wands swung around promising to solve all the worlds problems if you just believe in them strongly enough.
How often do we see game servers shut down where the game isnt playable anymore? I think there is something cool about the accumulation of in game assets being in a persons personal owned wallet, and not an account on the game server. That dichotomy has consumer benefits.

A game company can disappear, and the players can pick right up where they left off, with a new game, remake, or a reverse engineered copy of the server.

Why cant financial gain be a PART of the whole? People can both collect pokemon cards, and play with them. It's not mutually exclusive that you have to declare youre one or the other. Although NFTs probably should include a "you opened the wrapper" function, to create additional scarcity as people destroy the value of their items by making them less digitally pristine.
You ever think that they’re using YouTube for a reason? What I’m saying doesn’t apply to them specifically anyway.

And as for alternatives you can use Vimeo and PeerTube. If you don’t see the content you want there think about why that is.

If I set up a bazaar theme park where patrons would have the privilege of haggling over the price of items and paying the price - but never actually receive the item (as per expectations). I would be amazed if such a theme park would be considered a breach of contract.

Tinder could argue that the shadow banned user is still paying to have the "Tinder Experience"... though, again, I think the difficulty would be arguing that this aligned with service expectations from the customer.

Contracts can't be completely one-sided - they must provide some sort of consideration to each party - but they can be extremely one-sided. Often times if your company is changing their vacation policy or other key employment benefit all the employees will receive a one or five dollar bonus - that bonus is because you're signing on to a contract where you're literally just giving up benefits so there's a legal requirement to give you something in exchange.

1. You missed the point of the analogy

2. This entirely depends on the speed. For high speeds an airplane can be more efficient than ground based transportation. See von Karman efficiency, eg : https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Omer-Kinaci/publication...

3. Exotic materials like aluminum and carbon fiber? The BMW i3 adopted the latter for example

4. A better way to look at it isn’t whether air transport will ever be cheaper, but whether air transport can be cheap enough to be worth it due to the unique advantages it offers. Eg flying in a straight line, flying faster, no traffic, relatively easy autonomy compared to ground, etc
It could be, it's just that I'm yet to see someone fun and intelligent when Iim sober and they are high on cannabis(those who are high think that they are, of course). Slightly drunk people tend to be fun and maybe not exactly more intelligent than the sober but they tend to go out of their comfort zone which enables them to entertain ideas that they normally wouldn't do.

There are many stories about how people invent things when slightly drunk at the bar and write it down on a napkin.
SharedMemory is a new thing in Python. Not even supported by all 3.x versions.
I don't claim it has intrinsic value (what has?)

Gosh, I don't know -- a loaf of bread? A shiny new car?

Do you understand the meaning of the word, actually?

But it's still scarce.

So what?

NaCl/libsodium is a modern implementation by crypto experts. It's as far cry from "homegrown" as you can get. Arguably, it's better designed than OpenSSL, having been started by crypto experts in response to Heartbleed and the concern for the code quality and legacy code in OpenSSL.

Edit: my bad, TinySSH is using its home-grown version of NaCl, so parent's comment applies.
There should be a fine for this. I understand that there are situations where a parent does take their kids where it would actually fall under abduction/kidnapping. However, if parents are abusing the alert system for minor custody disputes, then this should be handled with a severe punishment. Almost to the point of losing the custody battle if they're that immature.

What led you to make your photos available under a free sharing license, if you were expecting returns?

They could have done it before, what makes you think this technical change will make people want to fund artists more, beyond a momentary financial mania?
I'm a daily consumer (and right handed FWIW) and while I can usually focus on decently complex tasks unless I'm really stoned I definitely notice an effect on like abstract/symbolic reasoning type stuff. I notice it with video games especially. I was playing a lot of Factorio earlier this year and there's some stuff great to do high, like drive around and clear area to expand your base, but other stuff like planning/designing blueprints is too much. I think anything where you've kind of decided what you're going to do and just need to go execute on it is nice but when you're doing stuff that's requiring active logical decision-making it's tough.
Not sure what you're saying here but if you put c6922832e65b60ab8517d7c1c5fd5911 as a token on the blockchain there will indeed only be one with only one owner (you). The uniqueness is that it was minted by your wallet. There cannot be another entry like that.

NFTs are mostly just that. An ID minted by Wallet X which itself is unique and the social contract gives it a value. That's it.
As an aside, I'd love to hear about how you monitor HN (and probably other resources) for mention of DokuWiki.
If you haven't had the pleasure of eating Jamón Ibérico de Bellota yet, I recommend a visit to Europe (if not Spain, which is itself delightful) and eating some. It has a rich, sensational, incomparable flavor. Even the best Jamón Serrano you can get in the US pales in comparison.

Unfortunately it's nearly impossible to import lawfully into the US because of some nonsensical laws: the USDA has to inspect and approve even foreign meat producers, even if they are otherwise deemed safe by governments we also trust.
There are OS internals books that document this kind of thing (e.g., various books on FreeBSD, Solaris, MacOS, etc.). You can also learn a lot just by reading the specifications for various object file formats, or the source code to tools like linkers and debuggers. There are also some dated books that are specifically on linkers and loaders (I've only leafed through them in a bookstore, don't know how good they are).

But on the whole, I'd say you learn on the job. Project, anyway.

In days of yore these systems-level structures often arose out of a project's specific needs and the individual experience of the people on staff. For example, I sat next to the person who designed the GEMDOS executable format (we needed one, the old one in CP/M-68K was terrible), and I think it was done in a day or two. The engineer in question had maybe 15 years industry experience, including some time as a systems programmer at IBM; I think the format would have been different (maybe better, maybe worse, how would we know?) if a different engineer had decided to do that work.

I used a couple tricks from the GEMDOS executable format to do some rather nifty runtime work at Apple (it's not like the format was secret or anything). That's cross-pollination for you.
It didnt used to, although it worked in Wine. Shows you how long ago I switched.
The funny thing is, I worked for a defense contractor for my first job, and looked like Cousin Itt. They never drug tested me.
I was raised as a Christian (Evangelical) but abandoned the religion when I was 16 or so. My reasons for leaving are similar to Green's, save for the LGBT stuff (no, I care about LGBT rights but it just wasn't on my mind at that time).

In church, I saw hypocrisy that'll make your blood boil. I attended a Christian College where I saw worse. It's not that the majority of people around me where malicious (most were normal, relatable people) but all it takes is a small minority to spoil the brunch and make the whole experience miserable.

I was really bitter about the whole thing, but eventually I let it go. I won't let the actions of others put me down.
> This 1994 paper is the important bit rather than the 2019 post

Absolutely agreed, in terms of significance! But a slightly distinct point.

> The only distinction is the requirement of first-class status.

But an important distinction!

We can currently build this. Which is good. But we cannot express it directly. This is bad, as this aspect is getting more and more important.

> The closest I've seen to something like that is NeXT with Objective-C and the NS framework/Kits.

Also 100% agreement! And probably not a coincidence that this is my "home". Also important: Brad Cox's book about Objective-C, which is very architectural and goes far beyond the language. And shows you what the language is trying to accomplish. Alas...

> The evolution of that into macOS/iOS, Swift, and *Kits are less so.

Exactly. :-( We seem to be moving backward instead of forward.

> The other thing that comes to mind when reading this is the adage about any configuration file format evolving to become a poorly implemented subset of lisp.

I think that's two adages: (1) all config file formats evolving into cobbled together programming languages and (2) any sufficiently complicated C or Fortran program contains an ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of Common Lisp. [1]

This ties into one of the few points where I actually disagree with Mary Shaw, otherwise all I am doing is implementing her vision. Well, my feeble misinterpretation of her vision. Anyway, my disagreement is that I do not believe ADLs and programming languages are distinct, and I also believe that this belief that they are distinct is what's been preventing all this insight into software architecture from being as useful as it should be. Hence Objective-Smalltalk. (ArchJava was another foray, that had other problems, again IMHO).

We'll see how it works out.

I'm not filling in anything with assumption. The data we have is just rather minimal and incomplete.
The 10% "assumption" was made for the sake of the example. Since we dont know the real percentage but we know its statistically there and its positive. Could it be just 5%? Maybe, but 5% is still more than 0%. The numbers don't change the overall moral/ethical problem of creating more harm by tying to help people.
Does it really matter how much more harm it causes?

>The right approach would be to talk to real life young people and young adults in this position and come to an understanding based on their experiences.

Why would you assume I have not? And understanding their experience is fine but their experiences don't change numbers, studies, statistics etc.
You can argue the numbers are weak and that is true (we need better data to make informed decisions) but that still does not give "their experience" any kind of value as a counterargument.

If there is evidence that shows that lives can be saved by not doing certain medical treatments, especially early treatments and instead postponing them with minimal negative side effects, how would the "understanding the experience" of individuals affect this? They might disagree but that doesn't make it not true and in their best interest.

We generally dont ask people with comparable problems what they think is best for them and then just do that. We may ask them to study the problem and even as part of the decision making process how to treat them. All of this is fine if done on an individual level. But if we make an overall statement it certainly should not be to "understanding their experience" by listening to the affected people and then do as they wish. There is literally no medical condition out there that is treated this way.

>Middle ground positions sound ok, but this this a squishy topic with infinite dimensions and designing systems that try to take a balanced approach do harm in unobvious and subtle ways.

Well we are expressing opinions here and sometimes you cant get them across in a "middle ground" way.
But looking at each case individually seems kinda middle ground to me.
Indeed, this also happens in the physical world. Many artists create multiple, individually numbered prints/copies of their artwork.
Meanwhile the lisp comunity...
Everyone certainly needs to make their own call. Obviously, there are a great many people attending large indoor events with a lot less in the way of air circulation and filtration systems than a jet airliner has.
Yes, it does. Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC), for example, has physical clubs and events that require users to prove provenance for access. This means signing an address that is a current owner, and applies to both physical and digital access of tertiary goods and services. Signing an address proves access to that address and means they have the private key to move everything.

The "right click and save as" "screenshot" and "twitter photo" people would not have access. Even the replicants discussed in the OP here would not have access.

Additionally, many popular NFTs, like BAYC, get airdropped many things for attention, some of which have varying degrees of value, or BAYC may be the only ones available to mint another new NFT being dropped. This would be enforced at the code or smart contract level. It is common for many less valuable or otherwise uninteresting NFTs to partner up and collaborate with other NFTs to make this chain of communities. Sometimes that results in some level of value. By common, I mean over the last 5 months in the NFT space. This concept has pre-dated NFT related things, and some of my best trades have been from either receiving airdrops or claiming things that went on to have a lot of value. But I really like some of the worthless things I've claimed too.
Quite a few since I’m a digital artist myself.
"Given you claim to represent the will of God and act as a special witness of Jesus, the Mormon church should be doing more to help the world and its members with its wealth."

We should hold all organized religions accountable like that. That would make it a lot more difficult to start a cult or leech money off your followers.
NFTs. Gaming seems to be it.
I simply disagree that 3 vertical bars are worth millions of dollars. But that's the point I'm making about art - it's subjective.
What?!

What word would you prefer to use to refer to the group of people who get paid to program?
I agree it's less frustrating than Gimp, but as someone who did a lot of photoediting in the latter, Krita's abilities do not really compare with Gimp's. Last time I checked (admittedly years ago), there was no equivalent of Liquid Rescale in Krita. Nor was there smart object removal capability. I think the options for dealing with noise were quite limited, as well.

I've vaped marijuana every night to sleep for the past 3 years or so... beats the pants off of any other insomnia med I've tried and it certainly takes the edge off of pandemic stress.

As a weird side-effect it occasionally makes me want to work more, because an idea will hit me as I'm high. 50% of the time it's actually a really good idea. The effects on creativity are so apparent, I never would have guessed before trying it.

I'm very diligent with not partaking during normal working hours though, my worst nightmare is having to debug something time-sensitive while high... it absolutely does not seem like a good time.
Would help if you gave examples. I use homebrew and I’ve only seen it mentioned positively as a solution. In any case, what does it matter if other random people complain about it? Everything has detractors. If it works for you, great.
I'm not saying anything about the intrinsic value here, only that the blockchain indeed provides a way to make something digitally actually scarce. Is it valuable in itself? Definitely not.
You do that brake job once every 2 years or so. That's not a lot of time to really get into the habit. Especially since it comes with the worry that you're going to do it wrong and cause a lot of damage.

In the past couple of decades, cars have become a lot more reliable. They just don't need that kind of repair very often. It's a lot easier to let a professional do it, and save yourself the hassle of storing ramps, oil wrenches, etc. for 99% of days that you don't use them.

That changes as the car gets older, and you need to decide between another $1,200 mechanic repair, a $300 self job, or a new vehicle. If you're into doing the repairs yourself, you can save a ton of money. But that only occurs once a decade or so these days, and it's just not worth it to many people.
It is counter intuitive. Noise is often an essential part to training, especially when it comes to generalization. Sometimes there is enough noise in the training data to be sufficient.

Controlling how much noise and where it goes so that you end up with something usable is still a bit of an art. Not just in designing the model but also the training and distillation process. It’s a pain in the ass, but if the perf is there it can be worth it.

I’m inference speed bottlenecked so I’m keeping an eye on this sort of tech.
I love smoking weed. I smoke pretty much every day. Just a little bit, a puff on the vape pen to get my groove going after work. I find it USELESS for problem solving or productivity, but hey: I don't need to be productive 24 hours a day. I just want something to take the edge off while I play a strategy game or fart around on a game prototype.

I NEVER do it during work or when I have to drive.

I started smoking weed when I was 16. I remember it was New Years day and the cool older kids from the nearby city took a liking to me and offered to smoke with me. We all got high, and it was extremely fun. Still friends with those people today. They all did quite well for themselves.

It was my rebellion growing up in a small town where there wasn't really much to rebel against. I had good parents and a good family. Little did I know my dad was also toking...

Then I went from my small town to the big city for college, and life got really hard. I didn't have the money to pay for weed anymore, and my mental health wasn't great due to all of the stress of college and work, so I stopped for around 6 years.

Then, about 3 years ago, I moved to a state where it as legal, and the first thing I did was buy some weed just to have the fun experience of purchasing it legally. And I smoked it. And I discovered something!

It wasn't just youthful rebellion, or following along with the cool kids, or anything like that. I actually really enjoy the feeling of being high! It makes me feel calm and relaxed.

And that is a good thing! Doing drugs is amoral[0]. There is this puritanical vein through US society that altering your state of mind, and making yourself feel good is a BAD thing. It even extends to coffee and caffeine sometimes.

But altering your state of mind is not inherently wrong! Clearly, it can sometimes be used as a crutch for avoiding other pain in your life. I am sure we have all seen it. But the same can be said of video games, and television, and even exercise when overdone. If it doesn't have any other effect on your life, doing a drug is fine.

- 0: Legal, not funding drug lords. I avoid illegal drugs for this reason.
I don't think bronze is actually intended to be used outside of the context of the study. My impression is that it exist purely to make it possible to to conduct a study to quantify the overhead of constructing code that can pass the borrow checker.

It's possible the team behind this may have hoped to use the study as part of a grant proposal to get funding to build out a more robust GC for rust.
Undiagnosed but suspected ADHD here. With a bit of THC and some electronic music I can bang code out for hours completely in the zone. It's like I build a great mental model on what I'm working on and become very immersed in it. I can't do it too often as managers need their meetings and updates but it's the most "zen" I ever feel.
Many billions of dollars are spent annually on advertising without tracking: every ad in print and the vast bulk of all radio and TV advertising are not tracked at all. The web was the first medium were advertising tracking could be done and it is simply an arms race, if everybody stopped doing it then it would work just as well as it does today (and it would be a damn sight less annoying).
And the provenance of which NFT is legitimate and/or original is not on the chain either.

I create myartwork.jpeg. Somebody creates an NFT of it. Later, I create an NFT of it. Even later a bunch of people make NFT replicas of both. Which NFT is legitimate? The blockchain doesn't know.
Where's the NFT Replicas Post?
