The possibility of positive, constructive psychedelic-inspired global consciousness change is one of the few things that gives me any hope towards humanity's future.

Of course such an effect is not guaranteed (nothing in life is). Psychedelics need to be used constructively, not abused (as they were by MK-ULTRA and Manson, for instance)... but research has shown that psychedelic use is correlated with improved psychological health, increased empathy, openness, and appreciation for nature -- all things this world desperately needs.
We've been paying with the deficit for how many decades now?

The economy has pretty consistently getting better and poverty has been going down since the 70s despite increasing our deficit spend rising every single year and inflation steadily going up.

Having an outlier period in inflation over the past three years because of a deadly pandemic is hardly a condemnation of the idea of deficit spending.
I do not think inflation is fine. Advancing technology and improvements in manufacturing should make my money buy more, not less.
Ask HN: Now What? (The Ukrainian War)
I am the guy behind

https://karma-engineering.com/lab/wiki/Index

Some old-timers here might know me too.

Unfortunately, I am still holder of a russian passport (and subject to russian banking), who lives abroad (south east Asia) for last 12 years.

Due to recent developments I have to close my sites to save money, which is a painful decision.

Aside from certain mentality induced by spending my youth in Russia and having Asperger's and what not, I am a top tier FP guy among other things. I am also an expert in "remote" (12 years abroad), open source software, etc.

The question is - now what?

I understand why I got fucked and have no complaints. But thing are changing forever, so there might be some ways to get a refugee status or a remote work which will lead to a residence.

MAD is insufficient. There are a vast array of security threats that nukes dont protect you from. This is true for all nuclear powers.

Given that the US has nukes, why have any other military at all? You could ask the same China.

Conventional military and geopolitics are relevant for everything that you wont launch a nuke over. Without conventional power, any nuclear power can be bled to death with 1000 small cuts nukes cant stop.

The mouse layer maps keys to mouse movements, buttons and scrolling: hold down the mouse key (or lock it on if you have that mapped) and you can use the arrow keys (JIKL by default) for mouse movements, and other keys for buttons. From a USB HID perspective it behaves identically to a regular mouse.

I haven't used the trackpoint module, but they've put a ton of thought into every other module, so I expect it would be quite good.

I'm a bit of a pointing device hoarder (I have at least four different trackballs and a couple of ergonomic mice), so I always have a few close at hand. I find myself using a regular trackball/mouse (alternating between my favorites to reduce RSI) for my primary pointing device, but the mouse layer is very handy for when I just need to move the mouse a bit and don't want to move my hands from the keyboard.
I don't know what you don't understand: EVERY single kernel fixes a few vulnerabilities. If you lazily refuse to update because none of those say "hint: there is a vulnerability here", then you are taking the deliberate action of skipping some security fixes. Greg's announces always say "all users must upgrade". If there was sometimes a different signal such as "all users must really really really upgrade", then for sure you would simply skip all other ones, as it already seems like you're waiting for a lot of noise before deciding to apply due fixes, and you would remain vulnerable to plenty of other vulns for much longer.

Here the goal was to make sure that all those who correctly do their job are fixed in time. And they were. Those who blatantly ignore fixes... there's nothing that can be done for them.
Can you elaborate a bit? Doesn't the Ukraine/Russia conflict imposing an existential threat on Europe change your calculation? For example, we see Germany re-militarizing [1], which would have been unthinkable even a few years ago. Security trumps economics.

Serious answer: buffering. Right now, cars are undersupplied and so dealerships seem like a waste. But in times of excess inventory, dealerships guarantee that every market has a supply of cars available for shopping and testing on local lots, and guarantee the manufacturer a less "bursty" revenue stream.

That doesn't justify their existence in a world where cross-continent orders over the internet are possible. But historically they've had a real role to play.
Yeah, that's a fair point about JVM culture. I suggest that there's a few cultural reasons this occurs, based on my experience:

1) JVM libs generally tend to follow semver to the Y level of X.Y.Z. reasonably well. (Spring can FOADIAF in this regard though)

2) Maven and Gradle etc. have very good dependency resolution algorithms

3) When the dependency algorithm struggles, you can provide guidance (e.g., Maven's dependencyManagement element, or the ability to exclude a dependency's dependency so that your pinned version of that dependency is what's used)

On that last point, you can use the Enforcer plugin to be very very draconian about transitive dependencies. I worked on a project in the past that would fail the build if you introduced a dependency that had dependencies, and didn't precisely specify the version of each new dependency at the project level.

I've done a fair bit of work also with Python, Go, and JS, and doing so made me realise that the dependency management situation in JVM land is the best I've ever encountered (so far). Which surprised me, I had always thought it somewhat over-engineered, but now I think it's sufficiently engineered and those other languages need to steal some ideas. (Especially Python, I love Poetry, especially compared to pipenv, but I would kill for the ability to override a dependency's dependency like I can in Maven and Gradle).

Eh, you're not depriving a person of their property like in the physical world. It would be like trespassing and reading something. Again, a failed metaphor. What would really be common sense is for people to stop trying to fit bad physical metaphors on technology concepts. They don't work and they obscure the real points.

Frankly, tons of stuff is illegal on the internet. You've likely committed felonies by violating a site's terms of service. That's how the DOJ applies the CFAA. It doesn't get enforced, just like that MO reporter didn't get arrested. Should they have been? It was unauthorized access which you claim is enough under law and common sense...

It's my belief that intent alone is not sufficient. Actions speak louder than words. Who cares if you say "no one is allowed to access this" and then leave public access enabled to something? It's common sense that you didn't secure it and you have no expectation of privacy. Look at traditional cell calls and radio. You're putting your information in public and others can view it. DNA you leave on trash can be collected without a warrant - and with no intent/consent on your part!

The law is a mess and full of contradictions. Even when the statutes are sound they become perverted by activist or impartial judges as well as law enforcement or prosecutorial discretion. Rule of law is a joke when individuals have the power to decide not to enforce it.

Also, I believe there was some case law recently that stated that publically exposed or unsecured data can be accessed without it being a crime, but depended on the details. I don't remember the jurisdiction and I can't seem to find it now either. Oh well.

I'm actually currently writing a book with exactly this emphasis!

The working title is "Practical Math for Programmers," and the idea is to build a collection of 60-75, 3-page long, _compelling_ demonstrations of mathematics used in production settings, biased toward stuff a generalist programmer might find useful. Not going into proofs or foundations, but providing lots of references to further reading.

I'm aspiring for it to be like a Hacker's Delight, or Programming Gems, but just for math that is genuinely useful.

This seems good for Ford not necessarily good for prices. A customer order is lower cost to the manufacturer and dealer as the vehicle doesn't need to be in inventory.

Thus, you can sometimes get a lower price by ordering from the factory (dealer is passing along this savings) than buying from inventory. Not to mention this also eliminates price competition amongst dealers.
Some dealers take a loss on sales to earn manufacturer incentives.

Service however is where they make money, and as time progresses and cars are more software based and self-repair becomes impossible - total cost of ownership goes up.

It looks like there's a slider at the head of the comments section controlling which comments are displayed with their text, which comments are "abbreviated", and which aren't visible at all. The line between abbreviated and hidden is defaulting to a position just less than 1, so a comment with a score of 0 has no representation on the page other than an indicator somewhere in the comment thread saying "[n] hidden comment(s)".

The comment will become visible (in abbreviated form) if you drag that slider over to just less than 0 (and load all the comments).

kstrauser is definitely choosing to see the comment.

As long as there is a non-zero multiplier, it does not matter the size of the constant factor, and it does not even need to be constant. I spent a while recently looking at the shape of this non-typical allocation growth curve, which ended up going with `n₁ = n₀ + 4n₀^(7/8) + n₀/8` using only integer math:

// compute maxsize = maxsize + 4*maxsize^(7/8) + maxsize/8
// for small n, we grow faster than O(n)
// for large n, we grow at O(n/8)
// and as we reach O(memory) for memory>>1MB,
// this means we end by adding about 10% of memory each time

Most of the cases where self experimentation becomes a viability are cases like in this article. Where funding doesnt exist. There is no competition because there is no funding for the topic. If he hadnt done it, nobody would have. Also, for some people the aim isnt personal profit but actual progress.

I think your take is overly zealous, if you are really worried you could make it a requirement for grants. Which it already is.

edit: Maybe for a different framing, picture it more like climbing a mountain. You do it because its there, it is that simple. All the rest (sponsorships and the like) is just ways to get funding to get you up there. You were already going to go, more funding just makes it saver. And as unhealthy as it is, i think society should not get involved further as me not dragging anyone else in with me. After all, how is this any worse then eating or drinking myself to death.

> During the trial period, the employer should task them with real work. When the candidate doesn’t deliver, the employer can let them go.

That would mean you waste a few months for every bad trial hire, especially if you're looking to fill just one or two positions.
Sort of. For the Federal Government having a budget surplus is not the same thing as actually spending less than it takes in. Due to various off budget expenditures the fed's total debt continued to increase even when it declared a budget surplus.
But is it cos x, cos(x), cos[x], math.cos(x), or \cos x? Calculators are usually simple enough that all the ops can be buttons. So why not do it?

My thoughts exactly.

We don’t do LeetCode—our interviews are like regular dev work. Candidates get access to an existing codebase on Github complete with a DB, server, and client. Environments are Dockerized, and every interview's setup is boiled down to a single "make" command (DB init, migration, seed, server, client, tunnelling, etc)

This is what all employers should be doing and the part that Litebulb should really focus their marketing on. Skills based assessments that mimic real-world responsibilities are far more predictive of a successful hiring outcome. If you want to pass LeetCode style interviews, you practice LeetCode style problems. Have you then proved that you can do the job? Sure, if the job is to solve LeetCode challenges; however, it's far more likely your role will involve adding a feature to an existing codebase while keeping all the tests passing, including appropriate test coverage, ensuring your solution is clean and maintainable, etc. Designing a problem set like this is hard, and there is overhead in setting the project up and maintaining it over time. I wish I had the time to design an interview like this.

Without knowing all the details or having gone through the experience myself, I can imagine it being positive for both employers and candidates. I assume a lot of the backlash I'm seeing is an allergic response from previous exposure to other tools that focus more on the automation part to the detriment of candidate experience, such as those selfish, impersonal and awkward as hell asynchronous video interviews.

I'd be willing to give this a chance.

Sounds like you're worried about an agenda that I just don't see even exists, like you're attaching a very personal fear to this particular issue. What you're describing sounds more like the combination of politics and religion to me.

I'll update my sarcastic response from above to:

There's a theory I'm working on, which I'm referring to as "the shock jock test". If controversial radio hosts and "guest columnists" are using the topic (climate change, feminism, immigration for example) to instigate dramatic, angry, emotional, and poorly constructed arguments as the kind of feedback to represent their listenership / readership, then the political winds are against it's very existence as a topic.
