I really don't understand the aim of your inquiry.

Yes, I see it called a systems programming language.

But unlike you, I see people call it low-level. The easiest counter-example was to point to K&R, which was my textbook in college. (Yes, pre-ANSI). And there are many people who still say that, as I found in a quick Google Scholar search:

] Although the Java platform has been used as a multi-language platform, most of the low-level languages (such as C, Fortran, and C++) - (2016) https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/2998415.2998416?casa_toke...

] Lifting these restrictions is primar-ily motivated by our desire to target low-level languages, such as C with pthreads - (2011) https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/1929553.1929558?casa_toke...

] Use-after-free vulnerabilities have plagued software written in low-level languages, such as C and C++, - (2020) https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?arnumber=9152661...

Now that you've seen people call it low-level, you can't truthfully write a comment like you did at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29710906 .

That's what I've found: People who like being in the office and socializing want to force me to commute for several hours a day just so they can yak at me, disrupt my concentration, and "see" me work. No thank you.

If the in-office people would just go into the office together and then deal with the remote people as we are, things would be fine. But no, the in-office extroverts want to force us all into their mold.
Most programming languages are already generally deterministic.

Pick any programming language. Now, remove access to I/O (except standard input and output), networking, time, random number generators, threads, OS syscalls, etc.

Given an input, the program will always generate the same output, i.e. it is deterministic. However, the program is still allowed to have global mutable state; the state is just encapsulated to the program's memory and execution time.

A trivial example is Brainfuck. It is most certainly not a functional programming language, but it is deterministic.
Same, I was going to pen something to instagram legal and such.
But arent there other applications where this is ok?

For example path tracing (ray tracing) doesn't need to be very accurate because multiple samples per pixel are used.

As I understand it, the protocol doesn't assume that.

It's just an assumption of the payment processing network built on top, that there will be some "strong set" or whatever of nodes that includes big banking institutions and that actual human beings will recognize as canonical.
Thanks, lucky indeed. In the LA area, there's a 6-month wait list to see an in-network child psychologist that can give an autism diagnosis. Our appointment is in March 2022 and therapy classes are also wait listed. All we have been able to get are 30-minute speech therapy sessions once a week that haven't helped at all.
A valid point, although it's probably the article, not the study itself. The actual title is "Children across societies enforce conventional norms but in culturally variable ways". I say "probably", because I haven't looked into the paper - perhaps it does use this terminology after all (but I doubt it).
The problem with services like Airalo is that they almost never give you a local phone number. In many countries getting a phone number involves showing a physical id.

Yeah I think this is an important point. I would still kinda call this "socializing" I think, but there's a huge difference between "just having people to talk about random stuff with" socializing and "interacting with the people I'm spending most of my time working with, talking about the things we're working on" socializing.
I would recommend Ahrefs blogs. I was able to grow from close to 0 monthly visitors to close to 20k monthly in about a year just by fixing low hanging fruit. Still not much but also not nothing.

The first time I quit smoking, I used an e-cig to help quit, and it was great.

But eventually I started smoking again, and so I tried to use an e-cig like the previous time. But circumstances were different, e-cigs were different (nicotine salts), and now I consume 2x the nicotine than I did from a pack of smokes.

It's too good. It's convenient, always on you, always ready to go. No unpleasant taste or smell. No need to go outside in the winter. And cheaper, despite the increased intake noted above.

There's a lot more we need to know, and for now I still believe that vaping is not as bad as cigarettes, but I'm sorry to see we once again hooked a generation on an addictive harmful substance.

As a postdoc, I really feel this comment. However, a lot of people I know do postdocs since its essentially become a requirement for many industry jobs, and getting a job right after PhD is becoming harder & harder. I know people who got industry jobs (pharma) at the salary band you mentioned after 6 years of postdoctoral experience.
I’m not claiming to be scientifically accurate and then giving horseshit as evidence.
A good place to start is the book Six Degrees by Mark Lynas, which has references to hundreds of papers.

I think "stole" is appropriate given that (1) the "local bigwig" wasn't likely the rightful owner of the bird carving, and (2) colonialism has historically relied on asymmetrically informed "sales" to export wealth back to the West.

> .xyz was created to “provide users around the world competition and choice when it comes to their domain name,” and is “the first truly generic domain extension with no inherent meaning,” according to Negari.

Great. In some odd way, this reminds me of some financial derivatives (like CDS), which seem to have done away with having any kind of well-defined purpose and simply exist as another speculation opportunity.

Likewise, we now have the first TLD which does not even pretend to stand for anything but simply exists so all the popular domain names can be sold again yet another time.

In the CDMA days your non-carrier locked phone had trouble handling travel across the US, and forget about service in another country.

I imported my Pixel 5 to Switzerland which is technically not supported. Had to switch my esim to a physician because the esim didn't want to activate and also didn't get regonized by the phone.

I am not sure how to read this graph. Is this data suggesting I need to start building large O2 generators for my evil underground lair?
Don't get me wrong, I use Telegram every day despite their flaws. Their data security guarantees may be terrible, but their user experience is still outstanding. It's a testament to how good a chat ecosystem can be if you don't rely on Electron.

I have no reason to distrust the Telegram team, but the data model is simply not designed to keep messages secret. It's Telegram's biggest shortcoming, in my opinion. Things like channels don't need encryption, but group chats can use some WhatsApp-style crypto.

WhatsApp's UX (basically: trust all E2E keys, and show a little notification if the keys changed) makes E2E available to the common smartphone user without the hassle of say Matrix's manual verification. For those with a more security-oriented mindset, there's always the ability to show encryption status changes so you could investigate.

I'll probably be using Telegram for a few years despite its shortcomings. It feels a bit iffy to talk about sensitive personal matters through Telegram, but I know it'll be a while before I can convince any large group of friends to move to something more secure.

For now I'm bridging my Telegram accounts through Matrix, so it's not like I'd benefit much from the added security anyway.
Well the problem is it might originally have been about giving a better alternative for cigarette smokers, a habit that has been on a massively downward trajectory in the US, it quickly started gaining hard core usage amongst the youth who weren’t smoking. Flavors aimed at kids like bubblegum doesn’t help.

It’s not so black and white, and it’s definitely not niche anymore.
Endemic is not a social condition that people "accept".

I have ridden as a courier in Toronto. For me, it was the 80s, and IIRC, I rode for Sunwheel Couriers, who had an old-school (even by the standards of the 80s) touring/randonneur culture. I was riding a bike very similar to what you describe: Flip-flop hub from a BMX bike with a fixed gear on one side and a freewheel on the other. Frame was an old CCM that weighed a ton.

What can I say, I idolized Nelson Vails!

The owners admonished me to get a bike with gears before I destroyed my knees. I did not listen, and perhaps that—or twenty years of Ultimate, or twenty-five years of rock climbing—did them in for me.

When I was riding most of the couriers I met were chain-smokers, often cruising the streets with a cigarette hanging from their mouths. Very insular counter-culture, very opinionated about bikes. And in my limited experience, very little overlap with the rest of cycling culture.
I started with nicotine patches and after 2 weeks switched over to Wellbutrin (prescribed by psychiatrist). On Wellbutrin I had couple rough days but nothing too bad, I mostly used music for distracting myself from this hole that i felt. Now i'm 124 days clean and feel so happy to be free from this bullshit
Offtopic, but can you recommend such a course?
Nostr is a new social network protocol
OP, the direction of this is totally based on these questions:

- have you reused your LP master password as a password anywhere besides LP.

- have you entered your LP master password into anything besides a LP login window. (edit: nvm, ya it went into the other PW manager. Without investigating that, not worth pointing the finger at LP and causing enterprise LP account usage chaos).

- Do you enter the LP password into only the browser extension from LP, your phone's LP app, and any other LP-official services when you log into it.

If you can do a yes/no answers, totally clears this up or totally escalates it.
Sure, if you want to put it that way. Presumably they've got some prior experience with archaeology if they're able to say that this isn't it.
Thanks for sharing. I really like this new wave of private investment startups. 13% annual return sounds really good. Is that guaranteed? How do you guys make money?

Excuse me but what sort of theology mentions copyrights or how did you induce that? Quite the contrary, sharing what you have with others is an obligation in most belief systems, an argument can even be made that Copyrights infringe on the obligation one has to share posessions and content.

Jared Diamond posits the first theory, as well, in Guns, Germs, Steel.

These are competing theories for sure, amongst probably a massive number of other theories.

If you're trying to have a more accurate perception of reality you have to leave yourself open to even uncomfortable truths.
There isn't really any set testing methodology I am married to, other than writing tests for behaviour I want to ensure (both at function and public API level). Go makes that really intuitive. I usually write a test right after implementing the first version of a struct. I make use of both private unit tests in the same package alongside the implementation and public API integration tests in a separate test package. I don't make it a rule to test every single function or anything, but Go seems to make it easy to end up with pretty high coverage and fairly low maintenance overhead.

I make pretty heavy use of mocks and like how easy it is to mock external API calls in Go by either wrapping an external call in a mockable interface or spinning up a local server with `httptest`. I also love how quick it is to write a couple of benchmark tests to get a rough idea of perf tradeoffs between approaches.

I usually try to keep tests small, but I do like testing more end to end and inter-package flows as well. At some point large tests do get brittle and reliability on CI is key so I try to stay away from convoluted test paths, but it's been pleasantly doable to write reliable tests even for larger flows with Go. When I worked on an auth service we had tests going through full oauth failure and success flows and those got pretty big (eg imagine an end to end PKCE auth code grant test that also has to communicate with an additional external provider). For these we had separate tests at the storage level, and mocked storage (or used a test memstore where relevant) at the auth handler level.

I like `testify` for assertions, `gomock` for mocking, `spannertest` for spanner, and `miniredis` for redis testing.
Oh wow! Thank you for this! I clearly didn't understand the mechanism that Alexander was discussing, definitely not that the change the atom was sufficient for it to effectively self-fuse and release the muon afterwards.

This is how its done.

Be careful with the last n rows approach, you have to have an understanding of how the query scales to do this effectively (ie. your n rows are at an appropriate scale to optimise). I assume that if you are at a small enough scale that you are asking this question, restoring the whole backup is the best option.
> states scrambled to delay and regulate ecigs just enough to figure out how to tax it because they were afraid of losing revenue from cigarette taxes

I hear permutations of this theory mentioned a lot, but I'm not sure I buy it. The political incentives just aren't there on an individual level. It would require politicians on both sides of the aisle to be actively interested in budgetary policy. The reality is that there is a strong survival bias among politicians to be almost obsessively focused on party fund-raising and perpetual campaigning. It has become exceedingly rare for politicians to be bothered working on bi-partisan legislation that isn't culture war bullshit.
Amen.

If people like being in the office, fine. I don't understand it, but that's okay. I have ADHD and have a large startle reflex - I hate open plan offices, I dislike commuting, and I get more done from home.

If the office people stop trying to force me into the office with them, we can get along. Otherwise, no. For once in my life I can work in an environment that works for me. I'm not going to let some extrovert ruin it if I can avoid it.
Not knowing much about how NTFs work, it seems like a great way for them to be used would be to prevent cheating / duping for online item-based video games like Diablo. If this isn't technically doable, I'd love an explanation as to why :)
I think we'll just have to embrace it. Anyway, dealing with reduced precision is more fun that throwing bits at the problem.
First one is correct, you can even have a fixed / freewheel combo with one on each side. Gears have to be close in size to allow chain slack to be taken up by the axle slots.
Second one would only work on a few bicycles as generally the front hub is narrower tan the rear.
From the folks who have left the LDS church that I've talked to, "friendly and with all respect" is profoundly not the experience that most have.

I think folks are getting hung up on what is or is not a "hard skill".

It doesn't matter.

Lots of people leave academia with/without a PHD and go to work in places where their degree and the skills/knowledge gained by that pursuit aren't specifically required. How relevant your degree actually is (how much it "helps" you) depends on where you end up and how much you're willing to adapt.

Whatever the case, with some things you're going to be just as novice as a 22 year old entry level candidate (in my case, probably even worse).

I recall leaving my phd program and months later in "a job" encountering my first "project manager". I literally didn't know that this job title even existed. I blurted out to some co-workers "Who is this person and why did they ask everyone to estimate on the spot when they would be done with their piece of the project, and anyway, how could we even estimate something so uncertain?" Everyone just laughed!

...and so began my years long reality-check where I discovered exactly how green the grass was on the "other side" working in corporate jobs.

> Now, let's unpack what people mean by "hard" skills. Do you mean they are difficult to learn? Do you mean they are useful in today and tomorrow's economy? What exactly does the hard in hard skill mean.

Hard skills are what is the scientific core of your degree course or PhD program.

So knowledge about theoretical physics of you study physics or do your PhD in it. Knowledge of mathematics and ability to do hard proofs for mathematics.

For computer science, the situation is more subtle: Here the hard skill is knowledge of computer science, being able to understand papers about this topic (degree course) or doing research (PhD program). In this sense, I would consider programming knowledge as a (central!) soft skill of a CS program.
Better to get correct advice from a therapist, than to begin in the wrong direction via something you don't yet understand. Have patience, and learn as much as you can from professionals. Explore all topics with them and validate your understanding. Don't count strictly on yourself. Good luck.
There are some good videos on Paxos and Raft. You can also learn your way around Zookeeper. Dist systems is a huge topic .. several text books exist along with courses.
