I have taken many drugs, but I still see that when discussing mechanisms we need to be specific to have a deep understanding of the mechanics. Otherwise we get handwavy garbage that isn't actionable.

This is a large problem is psychology and it's made worse by the lack of research behind psychoactive compounds. That void gets filled by people who take the drugs recreationally and come up with this mythology type of explanations. As a scientist who studies drugs, biochemistry, and behavior; I want to move past this. I want people to have a clear understanding of how the brain works, and we don't get there by being vague.

The top-level comment said "Great, what we should be doing is taxing capital gain at a hire [SIC] rate than physical labor. Why does anyone think it's OK to pay less on money you made with money you have?"

You replied with "Because the capital gains tax is only a portion of the tax applied to capital income." You went on to list several kinds of taxes.

My reply shows that the taxes you listed are all capital gains tax. To support your claim, you could list taxes that are not capital gains tax.

> > Whereas ordinary dividends are taxable as ordinary income, qualified dividends that meet certain requirements are taxed at lower capital gain rates.

> I don't know why you think this is relevant to my point. It just means sometimes the rate is different from "the" capital gains tax.

No. Please take a few minutes to read the sections I linked to. Here's an article that explains it https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/12/how-are-capital-... .
As I understand it product information and iBoot1 are stored on an SPI flash chip in the device (which is hard to mess with from an OS unless you're quite determined to, but basically unrecoverable if you do), iBoot2 reads this information and uses it to select and fill in a device tree that is passed to your kernel.

I think you might be able to find this information if you do:

ioreg -p IODeviceTree -l

A «group by» function requires keys to be comparable (for equality). You can see this when you look at the type signatures of «group by» functions in any strongly typed language or library. They either require a comparator to be provided, or infer it from the context (type classes in Haskell). JavaScript has quite intuitive equality for primitive types (strings, symbols), but nothing that would be natural for complex objects.

Consider this array: [{ key: {}, foo: 1 }, { key: {}, foo: 2 }], there are multiple answers how a Map can look when you group by 'key'. Both comparing the keys using '===' and deep equality are valid options, depending on needs.

‘The librarians I know generally want ALL THE BOOKS, especially the good and or "important" ones.’

By and large I agree with them. But, I don’t think that when the people running a public institution disproportionately represent one cultural perspective, we should automatically trust what they believe about what is “good” or “important,” especially when they are making decisions over the objections of another group in the public. Like I said above, I don’t think you should dismiss a person’s perspective only because if immutable characteristics, but when one group controlling an institution treats its own preferences as an objectively correct “view from nowhere” you should be suspicious. I was persuaded to this idea by my fellow lefties, who seem to forget it entirely when the group running the institution is like them (college educated. Likes PBS) and the group objecting is one they don’t like (conservative white Christians).

“People like me have views that are right and good and children of The Other will be better off if we can teach them the backwards, ignorant values of their parents are wrong” is the view of the “parents should have no say” crowd of today and the “Indian residential schools are a good idea” crowd of the past.

If a person thinks that to the greatest degree possible the preferences of conservative / working class parents shouldn’t hamper access for other kids, i’m with them. If they think “the experts” who happen to be the same SEC / social class as themselves are neutral arbiters of goodness, I think they should reflect on what that generally looks like.

As for Austin and Chicago, we’re talking about public schools here. A context where parents who aren’t well off are forced to send their kids to be taught by agents of the state. It is a much bigger deal if the public schools only represent the views of the liberal college educated class.
In particular, the viewpoints that are downvoted differs from those that aren't. There's probably a lot of engineers that, like me, have learnt that HN isn't very fond of posts arguing for other perspectives in relation to big tech, and therefore will refrain from presenting them. Even if they don't, their posts will be hidden from view quickly enough to prevent them from affecting the overall tone.

I wonder what the advantages of having a giant wheel rather than a unicycle version were seen to be? Were pneumatic tires non-existent? Is it a balance thing?

I think the quest of needing only one wheel never went away, today we have one-wheel skateboards and electric unicycles which might be looked at the same way in 100 years. (Or maybe we'll all finally adapt to rolling around on only one wheel)
You could buy a bunch of these books.

https://teachyourselfcs.com/

Maybe some Management books as well, though my reccomendations there are unfortunately not as good. In any case books would be good for whatever is left.

At the current point in your career there might not be much point in certifications but if you did want any now might be an especially good time to buy the tests since just about everything can be taken remotely.

Linux academy has good cloud and DevOps training.

You could buy a ticket to Black Hat in Vegas. I believe they are around $1000. Not sure if buying it now would apply since the actual event isn't till next year.
What's a societal veto on businesses and how does California enforce it? Specific examples (and counterexamples) would be nice.

The main tool I see wielded in California is the Environmental Impact Report. I do often wonder if large cities in Texas will just end up following their counterparts in CA, specifically as quality of life drops due to "easier to build homes and faster to start businesses" policies. I imagine Austin is starting to feel a lot more like LA/SF these days.

That'd only be true if expert consensus covered all knowledge. It doesn't, nor does it opine on all possible knowledge.

Saying correctness approaches 0 because knowledge is effectively infinite would be like saying our ability to do math correctly is 0 because there are an infinite amount of numbers. Or, that our ability to write correct software is 0 because there are infinite possible programs.
The link you posted is a 7 year old question; is the information still relevant? Surely copying the original audio is enough of a workaround?

> a lot of the optimism I had from tech improving our lives has largely been erased

It can do both, and we should strive to both prevent it from degrading our lives, and make it improve them. That's the original purpose of our computers. This should drive us. It drives me. I'd say this is critically important.

Please try to do the right things, whoever reads this. Computer scientists are powerful and impactful. Please reflect on how and what you (and whoever pays you) spend your time on, how it impacts society and human beings (and beyond) and make sure your are at ease with what you come up with, whatever the scale of the impact is. Don't lie to yourself. This paragraph should not be painful to read.

>I've always assumed that you go to reddit, twitter or facebook with your mind made up

Well, that definitely happens, and maybe I'm thinking more of independent fact-checking sites like Snopes, where people visit explicitly to verify the veracity of something.

>The removal of (dis-)information is what I'm least comfortable with

I understand, but, unfortunately, we have an absolute explosion of explicit disinformation.

The funny thing is that the notion of being uncomfortable with removing disinformation is itself partly the product of the idea that there are no objective facts. And, that is a function of how successful the firehose of disinfo has been at attacking the value of truth and the existence of objectivity.

So, we kind of conflate removing disinfo with undertaking a subjective political act.

But, not long ago, it wasn't so easy to argue base reality.
My recipe application is going to be written in a purely functional language with CQRS and a message bus that provides "guaranteed once" determinism. I should be able to spin up no more than a half dozen containers on two VM's to handle this architecture. The database will probably be redundant MSSQL and Oracle (just in case one technology is fundamentally broken). Database writes will be proxied by a Redis instance. I will use 3x 3080 GPU to train a ML model used for scaling the recipe depending on the number of people you wish to serve. Hmmm...I might need a third VM.
This is hardly news. We've all known this was coming, it just hadn't been formerly announced.

I still don't find much functional advantage in Mirrorless, but technical improvements have made it really solid technology at this point. Video, low light autofocus and tracking has taken massive leaps forward. The sensor / image quality is relatively the same.

Nikon removed the shutter from the Z9 (Disclaimer, I got mine last week). That's a huge leap nobody has been willing to take just yet.

The biggest limitations at this point are codec/raw patent roadblocks for video and compression.

It's a fun time for imaging technology. I completed my transition to mirrorless last week. Sad to see the old legendary hardware fade away, but the optics on modern glass are FAR superior to older F and EF mount lenses. It's just painful to move systems.
You really have no idea how DNS works then.

ICANN can do that for .com domains, because that's their TLD. They cannot do it for the TLDs they've already sold/aren't responsible for.

You can even purchase your own TLD from ICANN if you've got the money and create whatever domain names you want.

I miss working on my C++ game engine with my old business partner. We got so far with it, all the way to cross-compiling stuff like Ogg Theora/Vorbis video and audio playback around the time the iPhone arrived. Maybe a dozen rather large frameworks, before stuff like CocoaPods. Which provided us with a bare-metal environment, kind of a Unity for 2D gaming with blitters and basic OpenGL quad rendering.

Unfortunately, a game engine can only get as big as planned obsolescence dictates. Apple especially, deprecates stuff on what feels like a 2-3 year cycle. So just when we'd think we were done, another module in our engine would require refactoring because the system framework it depended on got axed. Not to mention that Xcode has reached such a level of burden on developers, compared to anything in web development, that I could no longer endorse it. I got tired of rewriting code for the eleventeenth time and called it quits around 2010.

The prime directive of game engines IMHO is to not make a single direct system call. Go through a layer like SDL, or you'll never get free of maintenance.
Not GCC, just gfortran. No support for f2018 yet.

GCC itself also doesn't have full support for c11 yet. Which was 7 years earlier. So they seem to have other priorities than fulfilling standards

> The heating thing seems like an odd bit of trivia today, but back in 1988 French nuclear reactors had a capacity factor around 60% and home electric heating such as heat pumps(sic[1]) was considering one way of boosting consumption especially at night.

So, by your logic we were building new plants for no apparent reasons in the 80-90s, and to make it useful we decided to force people to use electric heaters to boost consumption. You couldn't imagine that there were no conspiracy to build nuclear plants for the sake of it and the logic actually went the other way around? After the oil shocks the French government decided to become more energetically independent. At this time most of the heating was provided via fuel oil boilers, so it was highly dependent on the international price of oil. So the government decided to encourage people to use electric heaters instead, and then built nuclear plants to provide the needed electricity. (the reader will note that this is a clear example of Brandolini's law, where the amount of effort needed to refute bullshit is significantly higher than to produce it).

> Things have clearly changed over time, but I am unaware of any current regulations banning new homes with electric heating.

So maybe you shouldn't talk about a country you don't know? “Réglementation Thermique 2012” (more commonly called “RT 2012”) is what you're looking for. And it was the biggest and most disruptive construction law ever, and was discussed in depth for years. Anyone with a least a minimal awareness on the French energy issues will inevitably be aware of it.

> Please enlighten us: European Union antitrust regulators approved the French government's plan to inject 4.5 billion euros ($4.8 billion) into embattled nuclear group Areva AREVA.PA, saying the rescue would not unduly distort competition. www.reuters.com/article/us-areva-restructuring-eu-idUSKBN14U1L0

Thanks, this cherry picking from the first Google result you could find illustrate my point about you not knowing the topic. Do you know the difference between a shareholder restructuring an asset and a state bailing out a private company? In the first case, the shareholder is actually rewarded the capital investment through its return on equity. Since Areva's restructuring, the French government has already been paid back through EDF's dividends. (of course these dividends aren't directly the result of the said restructuring, which is still bearing fruits, but simply the result of the recurring revenue that EDF brings to the French government ever year).

[1]: it was not heat pumps (which would be terrible for the job of artificially increasing consumption anyway because of their high yield) but plain convector, which where much affordable.

I actually love indentation, Python forces you to write readable code.

Python that complies and is faster than C would be my dream language. I'd also like it to work directly with Unity and Flutter, replacing C# and Dart.

Thank you for the link but may I suggest you to think about the future and where it leads.
Just relax and let it play out. The author is right. Web3 needs to deliver a killer app. Something with broad consumer appeal that would not be possible with web2. Something your mum would use.

If such a thing is never delivered, skeptical you was right and you can have your "told you" moment. If it does get delivered, you were wrong, and we may be at the start of something drastically new.

As tens of billions is flowing into these projects, either outcome is going to be very interesting.

All good, thanks for clarifying! I remember watching Bitcoin prices around $10 when I was like 16 years old. Felt like a smart guy selling my 11 mined Bitcoin at $45-ish. I didn't keep any from that time because I never really thought of any what-ifs or future scenarios. I just thought it was cool that I could move money around so freely, so that's what I did. Gambled them away, bought stuff, sold low and bought high on Mt Gox. The whole shebang. It wasn't until a couple years later when I had some money saved up that I got into crypto in a financial context. Hasn't made me rich by any means but you are right in that there are plenty of experiences that I would use the word 'success' for, financial and otherwise. It sure has been a fun journey that has affected me in many ways, left me with many fond memories and the occasional sleepless night!

What a cruel world- sqlite to the rescue!
> I would never do this on my professional job due to the stigma, but for this side project, it has been incredible

I love controversy so I was able to push SQLite through as the sole persistence mechanism for our product. Virtually every constraint lined up with our business perfectly.

We sell a B2B product that gets installed by our customers, so they love it too. No more sweaty hands conversations about why their database server cant talk to their application server over their networks while we are caught in the middle trying to avoid taking ownership of their internal IT problems.
Indeed. While one can complain about this or that little detail, email is by far the best communications mechanism on (or off) the Internet.

The key part of course is that it is completely open and standardized. Nobody owns it. That is a lesson that we should learn, but is every time forgotten.

No proprietary walled garden can ever come close to the usefulness of email precisely because email is open and standard. With proprietary systems it is inevitable users are subject to the whim of the owner. Might not be able to get accounts, or be arbitrarily banned, or have the app only available on limited platforms, etc.

I've been using email since the late 80s and more importantly I've had the exact same email address since the mid 90s. It's been hosted by multiple providers and the last decade I've been hosting it myself. But always the same domain and address.

No proprietary system can ever compete.
ST Micro has some with significant near IR sensitivity, quick googling brought up [0]. For real "night vision" you need an imager without color array, it filters out too much light, and a HDR one like [1]. Then you need to map from the HDR to 8bit with some tonemapping. What you can expect max is something like [2].

The email that makes it into your Junk folder are just the “probably spam” ones. Email providers are outright blocking “definitely spam” messages, where the decision is being made by a black box. There’s no history you can check for those, and the decisions are made in a much more complicated way than just checking an IP blocklist.
Have you considered reframing this as positive reinforcement instead of negative? It may require more trust in the system, but one example would be to have the user set aside a larger amount of money (in "escrow") that is paid out over time after successful completions of the kommitment.
