> This isn't just hypothetical either, I've been in enough math classes to see the students of ordinary intelligence struggle with this.

I honestly have not seen that. Maybe some minor confusion between sin and asin maybe, but most of the time it's clear what it's meant.

> I consider using invisible operators to be generally unwise. I wouldn't consider adding ambiguity to save a key or pen stroke a wise trade-off. I'm aware that many mathematicians do, and all I can say to that is that it baffles me. In humility I'm willing to allow that they know something I don't, so perhaps my bafflement is a personal defect. Even so I don't think I want to repair it. In my own work I appreciate the clarity too much.

I have seen tons of times authors omitting notation to make it less cumbersome. It's usually preceded by something like "we omit X for brevity/simplicity in the following". The reason is that symbolic notation exists for density of information and focus. When clarity, details and specifics are required, mathematicians use text.

> LaTeX and other comparable typesetting software adequately solve for this.

Funnily enough, they also solve for sin() and sin if you use \sin (or \mathrm{sin}).

> Reading speed is by chunk and not character count. I challenge the notion that f(x+y) is faster to read than f.(x+y)

The dot is short enough to not change things too much, but compare "xy + yz + zy + xyz" to "xy + yz + zy + xy*z". And this happens a lot, because often you want only symbols for things that matter and remove the redundant things. For example, if you're doing calculus you'll often write down the arguments for the functions, but in differential equations you'll omit them because they're not really important.

> Nevertheless, I continue to agree that learning concepts is the more challenging and interesting part of mathematics. I also welcome improvements in clarifying concepts. Sadly, making a complicated concept easier to understand is a much greater challenge than making an ambiguous and muddled syntax unambiguous and clear. My preference is that we pursue both, because they're complementary.

Yes, but my point is that while notation can sometimes be improved, the relation effort/gains is usually small. For starters, notation is not the hardest things one faces when learning mathematics. Then, you have the issue of improvements in one aspect of notation causing problems in other aspects because the set of symbols we have is limited (for example, dot is used as the dot product in vector spaces too). And of course, the problem of changing notation that is already written. Sometimes the gains are worth the effort, such as the ceiling/floor notation of Iverson (and the bracket, although I don't think it's as standard). But that's reasoning mathematicians use for/against notation changes. It's not because having difficult notation is enjoyable or because it acts as gatekeeping.

Thanks for the explanation! Slightly less freaked out now.
Well yes, it’s a management technique, not a leadership technique. It’s about making sure that someone’s happy with how things are going, talking about the things that don’t get talked about day to day, but should be dealt with more frequently than every 6 months at a performance review.

We don’t do them weekly, but they’re definitely valuable.
I have had to bastardize POST in a situation where I had to support an HTTP client that only implemented GET and POST. So the desired action, e.g. DELETE, was included in the POST data.
Well, technically, they're not making money from what they wrote so yeah, they only care that you see the ads, and they only care about the headline insomuch as it draws you in to click so you can see the ads.
I worked for a studio that Sony acquired. The transition went well. Sony seems to be a Value Add for the studios it runs. They provide Money, HR, Basic systems, like any big company. They also provide market analysis, insight, and collaboration with the other studios. There's no chance 2 Sony studios are going to put out the same game at the same time, they have a "portfolio". So there won't be a Prototype/Infamous situation. The folks I interacted with from Sony were all great and very much on our team. One of our producers (who manage multiple games) showed up and ran the localization team when the specialist quit for 2 months.

I think sony will play the right level of support for Bungie.

I also got a shot of what it looked like to develop a game. There are long windows where you have a lot of folks on staff with not much revenue. And developing a new IP means you have a lot more staff that has no revenue. This is hard for single IP studios, and thus the layoffs on a cycle. For 2 IP studios this can be harder as you want to go as big on the 2nd IP as you do the first, so you may have even more.

Being a part of a massive publisher helps out a ton. There are other games coming out and creating income, this levels out the 3-5 year development cycle between IP. It also takes the stress off of the founders a bit. You're not forcasting out runway for 4 years of minimal revenue and hoping you don't have to take on cash at the end and give up ownership.
Don't use GoDaddy. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It may look like I'm being facetious, but I'm not. GoDaddy to me has always felt like the domain registrar for non-technical people that will overpay for things because they don't know any better. Like...GoDaddy's customers are the same people that continued to pay for AOL even after getting a DSL line or cable modem. The same people that have paid for a shady ad blocker despite uBlock Origin existing and being free. The same people that, in the early days of Android, paid $5/month to Verizon to get Verizon Maps and Navigation despite their phone having Google Maps on it for free.

Anything GoDaddy does can be done somewhere else for cheaper or even free. They are ripping you off.
«“I am a bit suspicious of mobile apps that demand your attention and send you push notifications to get more of your attention,” Wardle told the Today programme on BBC Radio 4 [On Jan 5]. “There are also no ads. I’m not doing anything with your data, and that is also quite deliberate as well.”

Wardle, explaining the reasons behind his decision not to monetize Wordle, asked, “Why can’t something just be fun on the internet?”

“I’m fortunate enough. I’m in a position where I’m comfortable. I don’t have to charge people money for this. I don’t begrudge people if they’re making things and charging money for them online. That’s fine. But with Wordle, that was never the goal,” Wardle said. “And I would, ideally, like to keep it that way.”»

Wonderful answer, thank you. I'll try this.
Y Combinator is not worth it, a thread
Sounds like they pushed him away from YouTube. And they pushed others into adblockers
Because local media is ad-dependent and the NYT makes most of its money on paid subscriptions. Media companies have been trying to pivot to paid subscriptions, but the NYT has for over a decade been premised on paid subscriptions online, during a time period where competing media companies hoped to stay free to subscribers based on ad revenue; they've managed to build a business that is essential enough that 8 million people subscribe to it, including during a long stretch of time where the modal media business strategy was "monetize eyeballs".
I've got 2500 hours in the last two years, and yes, this is one of the biggest issues with the game. You really need a group of friends to walk you through it all. I've been doing so with some folks, and it's a ton of fun, but if you're solo, the experience is far worse.
Good point. It's unclear to me how much a government could require Signal does for future use of the service. Regulated telecoms are required to provide lawful intercept capabilities for phone calls. I'm actually surprised that the government hasn't argued against E2E encryption on those grounds.
>I wonder how people get around that?

Gotta take the kid/spouse/mom to school/work/doctor? Schedule these essential appointments to best overlap with the other company's favorite meeting slot.

Additionally, I attend a number of meetings where I do not need to give any input. For many of those, who would know if I was simultaneously attending a similar meeting on a different laptop? You could even get fancy and have a pre-recorded version of yourself to play if you knew that you had to engage with company A but merely attend company B's meeting.

AAA is more of an investment term, how much money and how reliably is this project expected to return? Pokémon very reliably produces a ton of sales and revenue, so is AAA even if their development budget/quality doesn't look AAA at all. Normally you need a high budget to ship games that will reliably sell, but Pokémon managed to get there via branding instead.
GNUSON
Neither was Java at the time when browsers had support Java applets. At a closer look, Java Applets suffered from much of the same problems that plague WebAssembly.

Like the inability of interact with the DOM (or other browser APIs) without calling out to JavaScript.

Or the fact that you had to split up the code on your side into a JavaScript part (these days, perhaps transpiled from Typescript) and a part that was Java code then and is now Rust or C/C++ in case of WebAssembly. It goes without saying that these are very different developer experiences with virtually no overlap in toolchains and programming languages.

Oh and of course even WebAssembly suffers from browser fragmentation. Not only will performance be different, depending on whether you run your wasm module in Chrome, Safari or Firefox. These browsers do also not implement the same feature set (atop the basic wasm MVP). Like Safari doesn’t have SIMD. Other important additions (like tail calls, garbage collection and others) are also not yet universally supported.

For the sake of WebAssembly I do hope that they’ve learned their lessons from why Java applets (and Silverlight, Flash, PNaCl) all failed.
We need both more supply and rent control. There has to be some mechanism to keep local rents from running away from local wages and that mechanism is rent control. If you don't have rent control, rents fall into an average point. This doesn't help because oftentimes the distributions of income in an area is bimodal or multimodal; you can have a renter making minimum wage and you can have a renter making substantially more and when rents hit the average between these two incomes, the minimum wage worker ends up rent burdened and the high income worker can comfortably absorb huge rent spikes. Rent control makes little sense to remove, but if you are also not building enough supply it makes even less sense to remove, as without it the rising rents are just crushing your working class who are essential in your local economy and also don't see wage increases along with cost of living like the high income earners do.

That's not the Champion's League.

At the highest level there is so much money involved in playing the game straight that it's probably not worth it.

Look at the comments here on lower levels and College sport in the US. Where people are not getting paid much then even small bribes (say $5K) can work easily.

In the Premier League and what preceded it there was a betting scandal about people betting on the first thrown in of a game.

FWIW drugs at the highest level soccer is quite probably a thing. Quite a number of the drug doctors from the Tour De France wound up at top European Clubs (particularly Spanish ones). Modern pressing uses heaps of running and fitness.
I hear all the time that prices for certain goods are inelastic - particularly for gas and housing and medical care. But events always show it most definitely is elastic.
NYT did very well under Trump. Basically local news is worthless since no one pays for it since it's expected to be free and seen as "low brow". People don't mind paying to keep democracy strong which is what NYT paints themselves as doing.
I'm disappointed that after starting a conversation you consider very important, you don't actually want to participate and argue in good faith.
I point is that you say "drug dealer", when that's an arbitrary label that's dictated be laws and societal norms and acceptance, and then talk about it like there's well known harm from "drug dealers". The fact of the matter was that until a few years ago people selling weed were treated like those selling much harder drugs, and Federally they're still not in the clear. The fact that the label you're using is so loosely defined and applies to such a disparate set of people, and the crime they are saddled with is often so arbitrarily decided should give you pause when using it in a general statement about reducing harms.

Saying "drug dealers" and "drug users" without quantifying which drugs and how harmful they are is just an easy way to ignore real aspects of the problem so it can be reduced to a simplistic model that is easy to make statements about, even though we all know that to actually follow through on the suggestions is folly, because the real people and real specifics of their problems make that untenable. So why bother with the simplistic arguments that we all, even you, know are bullshit and can't be followed through on?
Odd, I switched to DDG 2 or 3 years ago, and probably have had to fall back to Google a single-digit percentage of the time when DDG's results weren't up to snuff. But everyone's searches are different, I suppose.
I think that the NYT could have cloned it without any legal problems so this was just to avoid the PR problem in doing so.
I'm actually not sure if you're serious or not, but yes there are brand names in NYT crossword puzzles. No, they don't get paid for it.

OREO is a famous one because it's a short vowel heavy word, and can more easily fit into puzzles. Because of that, it shows up quite often in puzzles.

Eliminating brand names, or any significant category of words, would probably hurt the quality of the crosswords. What's next? No movie references in the clues if the answer is an actor?
You can also just click the bar graph icon in the top right, next to the settings gear.
Amen. An abundance of these things signal (to me) developers concerned with themselves, not the technology.

People in this scene are going to be the first to switch languages/frameworks or introduce drama into what should otherwise be pedestrian problem solving exercises.

And on a more concrete note, when it's 3AM and your pagerduty is lit up like a Christmas tree, are blogs, chats, podcasts what you're interested in? No way! You want cold hard documentation and crusty "tell-it-like-it-is" engineers or consultants. They're seldom bubbly, but they command respect and get it done.
Because people spend more money if they fear it becomes worth less?

SHOW HN: I sold my girlfriend's present to NYT for seven figures.
Comcast has some support for skipping ads. It doesn't work for everything, just top shows from NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX, CW, Bravo, HGTV, Discovery, MTV and TLC recorded after January 1, 2019 in HD. It's enabled by default on their X1 DVR boxes.

The way it works is that if you start fast forwarding, it automatically stops and switches to play when you reach the end of a commercial break. You watch normally and when a commercial starts just hit FF a few times (the first hit starts forwarding, subsequent hits switch to faster FF speed).

I dropped cable in the middle of 2020. My recollection was that it also only worked if it had been at least 24 hours since the program originally broadcast, but their documentation [1] does not mention any such limit so perhaps they dropped that limit.

Please stop driving your car. I don't care what choices you make wrt other ways you like to put others in danger, but if you can't be bothered to use features that can save others lives then a different transportation option would be a better choice for you and the world.
I'd be happy to!

The culture definitely overlaps some with HN, but the main difference I've noticed is that people on the Tildeverse rarely care how "useful" something is. I've seen some complaining about HN, especially with regards to something Tilde-related being posted to HN and then lambasted - I believe the specific example was Gemini.

So in short: Part of HN lines up, part doesn't. People in tilde's tend to be more driven by software lining up with their personal ethics than on HN, and they tend to dislike anything capital driven afaict.

It's called Lingo. Apparently it was invented in the USA, but had a bunch of national variants: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lingo_(American_game_show)

It was pretty popular in the Netherlands as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9959YYGuEBM&t=45s

In the Netherlands it started with 5 letter words, as in Wordle, and later they moved on to 6 letter words for variety. But the principle remains the same.
I’ll offer my own anecdote, which was 1 on 1s with a manager who was really just soliciting feedback about the team, how I was going, what I thought we could do better. Now I don’t have them due to a new job, I miss them dearly.
The mRNA would actually code for the protein (allergen) so they would not need to be injected. The main advantage of mRNA tech is that you can use the same device to create an limited number of inoculations by simply providing blueprints and letting your cells do the rest.

This is not all that different from the Athens Socrates operated in. A significant portion of Plato's work portrays Socrates interrogating various forms of sophists, politicians, generals; the "talking heads" of his time.

Is the associated content free to play? I thought it was tied to the seaason pass. In which case the 30th anniversary content is stuff that would have been in the season pass anyway in prior expansions, and that double dipping is worse for consumers than previous.

Additionally, most of the arguments about AB dying in the near future have little to do wiht the thing that MS actually bought, which is IP, and everything to do with how AB as a company has handled that IP. If you think Microsoft is better at not mis-handling IP than Activision-Blizzard is, then you should assume that the acquisition of that intellectual property at the market price of the company (which as you mention was not a highly speculative thing), is a very good deal for Microsoft.

That said, I've never played the Microsoft version of Minecraft because it seems strictly worse, and also unmoddable.
In terms of storing your credentials, is your current Excel file password-protected? If not, I would do this at a minimum if you are committed to the Excel approach, and it's very quick to apply.

Alternatively you might be interested in other client-side options such as KeePass, which are more secure and provide a simple GUI (although arguably not as immediately-navigable as a spreadsheet). This could provide a more comfortable stepping stone if you're not wanting to commit to one of the more mainstream cloud-based password managers. Full disclosure: There was a security vulnerability in KeePass a few years back, so it's worth keeping this in mind.
"Should be able to" is doing a lot of work there. Are people able to do this? What supporting structures make that possible? Are you sure all those structures are in place and applicable to a certain person's work? A 1:1 would be a good time to find out if not...

Also while any particular 1:1 might be unnecessary, the 1:1s that catch things that might be going bad are IMHO much more important than the ones that aren't strictly necessary. A slow cadence can let problems fester for weeks.
