Let's take it to an extreme and see if you still agree. You're married. You get assigned to go to Mars for 3 years. There it will be just you and a very attractive, very outgoing, very willing, and someone exactly your type (whatever that is), member of the opposite sex who is single. You will spend every day and night with them in a space the size of a recreational vehicle (1 bedroom apartment) for those 3 years and won't be able to talk to your spouse live (around trip communication to mars is 10 minutes?)

Do you really believe most people would stay faithful? At best, they might break up before starting a relationship with the person they're spending all the time with but it's highly unlikely at some point they wouldn't start something one way or another.

If you get that example then everything else is just a matter of degree. If my spouse wants to see an old friend of the opposite sex a few times a year I'm not going to worry. But, if they are talking to them daily, which is what the post above was about, then IMO, something is wrong with our relationship and I should be worried.

If the mars example doesn't work for you then my gut says just wait a few years and a few examples will come. Of course maybe you just know special types of people I've never met.
I liked it in my teens (especially Melee mode) then tried to introduce it to my similarly-minded son recently, but he grew bored quickly. He favours Minecraft and Fortnite.
At Yahoo, there was a tool that did in-place OS upgrades for FreeBSD, but you're right - in most cases, people installed whatever was current of the day and then relied on yinst to make it work. ybsdupgrade did work and was mostly a non-event. I don't recall whether we had it work across major version upgrades though.
I remotely installed a firmware update on a Broadcom NIC and the server rebooted with completely different device names and no networking. Thankfully I could still access OOB management. It was definitely a shock to see how fragile the new naming scheme is.
Maybe for those times when copyright infringers try to split an infringing file into separate files containing only one bit, represented as text, to avoid detection. No, I am not serious.

Try testing a file that contains more than a single 1 or 0, such as 01111000.
It's certainly good competitive info for Microsoft or others to share during sales calls.
There are reasons that favor occupational licensing. Consider, for instance, Electricians. There are standards which exist based on past failures, a sort-of institutional learning.

I'll admit that it can be annoying when the inspector fails your self-installation because "it is not up to code". It feels like a sneaky way to enforce hiring an electrician. It is also annoying that a vet can't practice on humans. I doubt that I'm much more complex than my cat.

On the other hand, licensing keeps me from performing brain surgery on you during the weekend. Unlicensed people don't know the "institutional learning", so they are likely to repeat potentially fatal mistakes. Medicine is sufficiently complex that one person can't know it all, or even other specialties.
I used to have coda. I guess they renamed it Nova:

https://panic.com/coda/

I wanted to love (Coda) it but it wasn't good enough for me to switch. This looks slick, but I work multi-platform so this while it looks great, if doesn't do linux I'm out. They even talk about the lack of cross platform in the copy. If I need speed I'll use Vim or emacs. For day to day I bought the JetBrains suite. For a pretty inovative company, it looks a lot like exiting editors.

I'll keep using Panic's transmit on Mac.. And hoping someone makes a sftp client as good on linux...
When the survey is BMI, then yes, individuals outside the standard height and with greater than average muscle mass will fall in the overweight range.

But, when considering the population rather than the individual, these outliers become insignificant.
Be careful with this sort of reasoning for the sake of false negatives. Under this lens only 0.001% of all actual incidences of what he's describing would be deemed as enough proof (your bar effectively requires testimony under oath and document subpoena).

Obviously, I'm not saying the case is made in the other direction. Given this is all the information that we'll get we have to take into consideration our intuition, his incentives, his reputation, etc. I'm personally not so comfy dismissing it with a "need more proof" stamp.
Thanks for this. I've heard recently that, in its current form, digital advertising is extremely overpriced and propped up by misleading metrics [1] and might take a downturn in the future, but I also don't really know much about it and and that point it's just speculation.

On my desktop I run with no swap, overcommit disabled, and earlyoom. I frequently do heavy work with it including such things as Chromium builds and it's trouble free. See above for the tweaks I've made to ensure perfect responsiveness under all loads.
And if the exchanges choose "both"? This has happened with multiple Bitcoin forks.
While I agree that this isn't a great look, it also isn't a natural search string. Unless the trait that I am wanting to exclude is by far the most "standard" trait, using an exclude is odd. I don't search for blue ink by searching for "ink that isn't red, green or black".
All right, I'll bite. What's an instance of a non-trivial scientific statement that's non-falsifiable? Can you convince me to care about it?
$400/mo for the first term. Then it basically doubles. I inquired about it:

> For example, with a 3-year term for a 42U cabinet, it would be $400 a month for 3 years, and that includes 1G already.
After that, for another 3 years, would it be $340/mo for 1G, plus $500/mo for the 42U cabinet, which is $840/mo (more than double)? In both cases, is a /27 always included with the 1G port (pending justification)?

> Yes, you are understanding what our standard rates are without the promotion.
Yes, we include the /27 with service.
Our promotion is currently our most cost effective solution.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Do you really want to build a whole 42U rack full of big heavy servers and have your price doubled after your contract expires?
The minimum amount required to stake is 32 ETH. That’s $75k at today’s price. There are cheaper was to “stake” but those are not really “ETH PoS” staking. So no, it does not “cost less to stake”.
The chain that the exchanges call ETH will have virtually all the value.
Na, it’s gotta be something dumb on the big G’s part. I bet their unit tests for their DCMA search have test cases with simple files like 1 and 0, and those cases are just put into the “copyright” database.

HN expects high quality discussion. It would definitely be difficult to get consistent high quality articles that lead to high quality discussion without well paid journalists.

As it stands, viewing fees/paywalls are one of very few existing ways to ensure journalists are paid at all for their work.
Yes except that some users will be convinced by Minerchain marketing and sell their Stakingchain eth due to those beliefs.
I’ve had AT&T’s gig service in Austin Texas in a couple of locations over the years. It’s a good service, fast and reliable. My only gripe is that it’s peering is either over subscribed or capped. I would typically see uploads stall at a fraction of the total pipe while uploading to a data center over Ethernet.

Google Fiber has been a better experience. It doesn’t test as fast on Speedtest, but real life uploads are easily twice as fast.
Yes, we need more competition. PyCharm feels so bloated and trying Nova, the speed is incredible. Keyboard latency is something that's underappreciated but it is night and day for me.

Shofixti vs Chmmr is still my favorite match up. The sheer terror for each person is hilarious. Desperately trying to get in close to detonate and hopefully take out his zap sats and cripple it. Meanwhile the chmmr pilot terrified to get in close to those suicidal maniacs. When the two get near, both people just scream until it’s over lol

Ask HN: Note taking for initial learning and disorganized/related tasks
I am trying to figure out a solution to taking quick notes that may be disorganized and/or incorrect while learning some new technical material.

I thought I saw a post here recently that could be used for searching old notes and viewing a graph of connected notes. I cannot find it.

Many things I do are set-up once, but never revisited or changed for long periods of time. Then, I have to re-google and learn again. Often with out-dated documentation.

For instance, I am currently working towards a cluster setup for containers and various apps. I do not have a particular end-goal. I am trying to expand my knowledge and and will be rebuilding as I break things.

Since I am learning, I am copy/pasting a lot and have many disjointed tasks as I progress. Many of the guides/tutorials have out-dated information which I then have to note again.

I would like to jot down notes/commands and then come back to organize into actual procedures once I have things implemented properly.

An example that came today was the need to add a secondary interface to Ubuntu for a VLAN. I may never revisit this for years, but will need to repeat it sometime.

It would be nice to be able to reference this VLAN procedure/notes and in-line them to a task note that was initially unrelated. I may have forgotten that I ever made the notes in the first place and then duplicate it again.

Right now, I am not building documentation, but noting things I am not sure are even correct yet that may end up as documentation.

Almost like I need a tagging/searchable/dated system but I don't know what the tags would be yet.
I had a similar experience, but -- possibly counter-intuitively! -- ended up going mostly all-in back on BBEdit 14 when it was released with LSP support which has proven to be a lot less, well, flaky than Nova. I like VS Code a lot and may yet return to it as my main coding editor if I go back to a big project, but BBEdit has always been my old warhorse when it comes to my technical writing because it's just such a Swiss Army Knife for text processing. And BBEdit with Intelephense for PHP or with my own Elixir package for (surprise) Elixir has worked really well.

Nova is pretty, and I'm impressed that they've added a Vim mode, although I haven't been able to really give it a try (my year expired before that was added!). But for me, it wasn't just a lack of plugins, it was that functionality I wanted wasn't there and the functionality that was front and center, like integrated Transmit and Terminal tabs, just wasn't that important to me.
My favorite Brian Eno essay is "Composers as Gardeners".[1]

Eno's collaborative, organic vision of composition is radically different from the way composition is traditionally seen -- as a very deliberately planned approach which stems entirely from the composer alone.

This really resonates with me, and he expresses it much more eloquently than I ever could.

The difficulty bomb makes it so that consensus doesn't have to occur to switch, but has to occur to prevent the shift from PoW.

Everyone doesn't have to agree. There will be miners that attempt a fork to keep their position. There is nothing wrong with this, it's how this stuff is supposed to work. But the fact that PoS has been on the roadmap since the beginning takes away legitimacy from any claim that the PoS transition is illegitimate. The fact that Ethereum Classic exists and is a PoW version of ethereum and intends to stay that way will take that even further. There will probably continue to be forks of ethereum, just like there have always been. Anyone can fork an open source codebase and maintain it, anyone can use the software to spin up a consensus network, anyone can use prior state as a starting point. Chain forks are a social thing not a technical thing, game theory not withstanding, that's how nakamoto consensus and FOSS is supposed to work.
fun! I didn't notice that till you mentioned it.
It's probably alluding to https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/telemetry which isn't exactly straight forward.
> the vaccine will reduce the chance that you get sick and pass the disease on to others.

You cannot treat that as a forgone conclusion that is the whole point of studies like this. As this study states, hazard ratio does not depend on vaccination after someone has recovered.
Not sure why you’re being downvoted.

This is 100% correct. It’s perhaps the only positive thing to come from that administration.
How do you go about finding or searching for functions/code that generates a representation when you graph/run it? Was this done by hand or was there some search involved?
The MACAW model is quite impressive -- it significantly outperforms GTP3 on Q&A/reasoning tasks (~10%) while requiring x10 less parameters. It is based on T5 , which is a well known model from Google. The novel innovation here is the training paradigm.

Highlighting support is bad:

> For the curious, Nova has built-in support for CoffeeScript, CSS, Diff, ERB, Haml, HTML, INI, JavaScript, JSON, JSX, Less, Lua, Markdown, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, Sass, SCSS, Smarty, SQL, TSX, TypeScript, XML, and YAML.

Youre supporting stuff like Diff and Haml, but not stuff like Go or Rust?
To play devil's advocate, in 2022, how much is an established browser's success is determined by technical merit vs. the economic clout of the entity behind it? Suppose, FF releases the browser that is 5x better than Chrome. Most people wouldn't notice! Microsoft installs Chromium-based browser by default, and Google, which is what most people use for search, gently pushes everyone to install Chrome. Apple obviously also defaults to non-FF. There really seems to be no pressing need for an average user to go out of their way for a better browser experience.

Other than PR and growth hacks and maybe activism, which is what they seem to be trying now?
Maybe he's just tired of people who offer ignorant opinions and argue based on conjecture and not actual knowledge.
I think it's quite a common convention in engineering - not just software - that the input to a process "goes in the top and out the bottom". We humans read top->bottom (regardless of left/right/vertical, I don't know any languages that write bottom up). Conventional voltage in circuit diagrams usually flow top to bottom. Gravity loads in schematics flow top to bottom. Chemical pathways are usually written top to bottom. And of course functions take arguments up top and return at the bottom, maybe with some short circuits. I think the only counter example of note is distillation columns.

Where is the data coming from? Employees table. What's coming out? 20 rows of sum_gross_cost.

What could improve this is function signatures. It's kind of nice to have the whole abstraction up top...like an abstract.
I don't understand why every editor these days come with a minimap, and many of them turn it on by default. I know Sublime introduced it but what does it do exactly? Why is everyone copying it? It just shows you the shapes of blocks of texts of a long file from ten meters away. It doesn't tell you what they are or what they do, or even how to get there. Every IDE since at least the early 2000s gave you an index or a tree menu or something for navigation, VS Code has a breadcrumb IN ADDITION TO the minimap, possibly because Microsoft realizes its gimmick nature. Why not just get rid of it to free up more screen real estate for actually useful things?
>Imperative code is the basis for almost everything -- whether it be OOP or functional or big ball of mud

Wrong. Imperative is NOT functional. You cannot have both functional and imperative. They are literally opposites.

You CAN technically have both functional and OOP. However removing mutation from OOP removes the concept of setters and many associated "Design patterns" that are part of OOP.... so it's like removing the ignition from all car engines and still saying that the car is a car.

Many people don't understand what functional programming really is. Allow me to elucidate. Whatever program you can write on a single expression. That is a functional statement. If you write multiple functional statements... the code becomes imperative.

A functional program is an imperative program with ONE expression total. To write a functional program is to place your entire program ON ONE line. That's what functional is.

Now you may have heard that all you need to do is make everything in an imperative immutable for the program to be "functional." This is true. Turns out an immutable imperative program is isomorphic to a functional program. See this:

A = 2 + 2
C = A + 4 (immutable + imperative)

is equivalent to:

C = 2 + 2 + 4 (functional)

However if you add mutation the isomorphism is lost.

A = 2 + 2
C = A + 4
A = 3

You can no longer do the substitution above. Because of this isomorphism; to have any real linguistic meaning and differences between the words "functional" and "imperative" means that imperative programs MUST include reassignment. You can reassign a new value to an old variable in imperative programming and such a concept is literally impossible in a functional program because functional programs are just one line expressions.

in FP all variable names are simply aliases or macro shortcut expansions. In imperative programs variables are mutating entities.
Not surprised there was a tool, but I don't remember it. :) most of my time at Yahoo was on 4.x, so minor upgrades only would have been fine. (Some 6 and 7 towards the end, but also a little bit of RHEL, which I was happy to get away from)
I have this kind of intuition and it is only half the picture that it's a construct, and the extent to which is a construct is only like to the sense that other human senses and our experience of them are constructs too.

I'm not sure we mean construct in the same way but for me intuition is a construct in the sense that you interpret the data.

That's the same as saying visual data from your eyes your brain is interpreting that and you're constructing which is the sense in which it's a construct... You're constructing a picture of the reality of the visual landscape around you based on that sense data.

For me intuition is another sense (a sixth or extra sense like they say in this article) and and when I'm operating or experiencing the sense I am interpreting the sense data. One thing which makes it different to other senses is that in other senses the interpretation happens almost seamlessly and imperceptibly. Except when you do things like maybe optical illusions or other things which reveal the nature of the you interpretive perceptual apparatus or whatever you want to call it.

When I use my power then it's very clear that I am getting data and interpreting...it is almost two separate processes.

> The line you are quoting was, for the record, meant to be a tad humorous.

That's the needling. And I'm sure it's considered absolutely hilarious among the people engaging in it.

But what it comes down to is someone raises a valid concern and you dismiss it and question the competence of others.

You could have said something actually helpful and constructive without being bitter and dismissive, for example that you don't believe it is as big a problem as might be first thought because of the similarities between the systems, and the good FreeBSD documentation available.

Sorry but I see this attitude every time FreeBSD vs Linux topics come up. Not saying all FreeBSD proponents do it or no Linux ones do similar, mind you.
Based on the nature of open-source software and the generally implemented design of cryptocurrencies like Ethereum: Explicitly No.

Anyone is free to make a fork of any chain that does whatever they like. That's the easy part. The hard part is getting anyone else to care.
That's not what the comment you're responding to says at all.
Do they always take the image from straight on, front? Is the camera panned around with a narrow FOV so that it doesn't see portions of the canvas from an angle? Does the light source move with the camera?

Or, I'm thinking, it's often really interesting to see the 3D texture of a painting -- is that ever something desired to be recorded? For example, with impressionist / pointillist paintings I've seen in person, looking at the canvas from a very low angle is even more interesting to be able to see the brush strokes than seeing it directly face-on.
If that’s what you took away from my post, I must have done a poor job with it.

Firstly emergent consensus is a big part of decentralized systems. Core providers convening on a decision and supporting it is perfectly healthy. That’s quite different than a CEO saying things will be X way and everyone just having to accept it.

Additionally, my point is that people WILL likely try to have a contentious chain (as is their right in a decentralized project), but due to the maturity of Ethereum the technical consequences are much more impactful than the BTC/BCH scenario.

Sounds like we really did have a similar experience - Nova is _great_, but not what we need.

I have very specific and weird needs. For example, I need syntax highlighting for LaTeX, but in a non-mathematic-but-programmatic-control-of-layout way.

VS Code supports that, oddly enough. No other text editor does.
