The US requires an article in German because it is a plural (United States). Switzerland and Turkey require it because they are female.

Ukraine is female too and therefore "die Ukraine" is correct.

Most state names in German are neuter and go without article.

Some state names can be used as male with article (der Kongo) or neuter without (Kongo). Iran is the most common example of this category, in the news "in Iran" and "im Iran" are both used frequently
I don't have inside information here. My reading of the narrative is that Dart was created originally as an alternative to JavaScript, because JavaScript did (and does) have just tons of problems all around. It pivoted from being primarily a JavaScript alternative to supporting use-cases like Flutter.
Seems to be a pandemic of turning propaganda machines up to 11.

I don't know if it is a change in the news or my awareness but news websites feel increasingly like opinion blogs than something that might inform.
DeepL translate struggled a lot with that:

Shy cybernetic powerful extremes

He met when unimodular groups

Cyberiads totaled on a sultry afternoon,

Not knowing if there was love or not yet.

The world of the world, the world of the world, the world of the world, the world of the world, the world of the world,

And verses of vectors from morning to evening!

Closer, counter-images! Closer, because it's time

To reduce the lover to the embrace of the lover!

He'll make the half-metric tremors that moan unite,

He'll turn them into groups of turns and feedbacks,

And so cascading and so dizzying

That they short-circuit, going from eye to eye!

Thou, transfinal class! Thou, strong of greatness!

The uninhabitable continuum! Praucus white!

Christoffel with Stoks I will give up for a whole age

For the first and last derivative of love.

Thy scalar spaces' multilinear depths

Show the entangled in the Theorem of the Body,

Cyberiad to cypresses, bimodally whole

In gradients, multiplied into flights of pigeons!

Oh, he did not live to enjoy, who so without gray hair

Nor in Weyl's space, nor Brouwer's

The topological study with an embrace opens,

Studying curves unknown to Moebius!

O, multilayered comitant of feelings,

Much you must be valued, he will only know,

Who, sensing the phantom of such parameters,

Dies in nanoseconds, burning every moment!

Like a point, entering the system of holonomy,

deprived of the coordinates of zero by an asymptote,

So in the last projection, the last caress

Farewelled - the cyberneticist dies of love.

Most other western countries are alike (or worse). Except, US is where the energy, best capitalism and talent is so despite the above, probably still the best choice.

Of course you do, as a consumer. It's only until you want to make something that isn't already made for the past few decades that you start disliking, hating and outright wanting them to just get the heck out of your way. Regulation in itself isn't a problem, its ever increasing and rarely ever decreasing amount that is the issue. There are many rules and regulation that haven't been updated for decades.

The field is called "process chemistry". A very big thing in pharma:

> Process chemists take compounds that were discovered by research chemists and turn them into commercial products. They “scale up” reactions by making larger and larger quantities, first for testing, then for commercial production. The goal of a process chemist is to develop synthetic routes that are safe, cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and efficient.

I think the author has got it mainly correct. There exists a perfect analog to this 'genius problem' in plain sight: Architecture. Back in the day, especially the art-deco era, buildings were adorned with beautiful facades and friezes and carvings. They had style and substance and actual design.

Today, all you get are construction companies shitting out glass-paned bricks with shoddy materials, poor usability considerations, zero design considerations, etc. "Luxury" apartments slapped together so poorly I'd sooner bet on the structural integrity of a literal popsicle-stick house, are now the norm for new construction.

It's a classic case of quality-vs-quantity, and this too the author pointed out. Everything about America and its culture is tuned ferociously towards maximum effficiency, reproducability, and simplicity. There is next-to-no room in American for focused, well considered, small-scale solutions. Not unless you are the ultra-wealthy. Normal people cannot afford craftsmanship anymore, because quality itself is now a luxury. In the same way, "Geniuses" (in the way the author describes) aren't produced here anymore.

The reason is simple: America has, for decades now, sacrificed quality (with brutal zeal) at the altar of quantity.
I seem to remember Windows 95 and the quest for "plug 'n play" being what pushed the PCI standard into wide spread use. Basically the first standard that didn't require all the tedious mucking about with IRQ's, DMA and I/O Ports.

IIRC it was considered fashionable back in the day to install a card, wait for it not to work and then make a joke about "plug 'n pray" before finding an older, ISA card and getting it to work by setting the jumpers correctly.
I do React (web, typescript) for my job, and Flutter for my hobby/side-projects. I chose Flutter specifically because Dart is far superior to javascript/typescript, and the fact that I do not have to deal with the absolutely bullshit JS build ecosystem.

Choosing React Native because you can find "Javascript developers" in 2022 is like choosing PHP in 2010 because it was popular.

If you're hiring above entry-level, you should expect a developer to be able to pick up a new framework, non-exotic language fairly quickly. And if you are hiring entry-level, you should expect to need to teach the new hire anyway.
That's fine but if the job description is explicit about a technology, they probably need the mentor not the mentee.
Or, just a lot bigger fines would probably work.
In the last 15 years we got reusable rockets, mRNA vaccines, Crispr, workable quantum computers, AI capable of beating us at Go, and many other numerous breakthroughs. Sure 1900-1910 meaningfully changed the world but the bar form the 1800's was dramatically lower than the 2000-2010 bar from the 1900's. Ironic that such a ignorant comment laments societies ignorance.

This seems like something that wouldn't even be written about in sci-fi books because it just doesn't make sense to ever be possible. It seems impossible to even imagine the implications.

I also can't imagine future chemistry students needing to memorize two separate sets of electron and antiproton orbitals.
Can data actually be racist? Or just the way we use it (information we form from it)?
One of the things that always surprises me about Dart is that Google continued to invest in it for so long without any real returns until fairly recently. Dart came out in 2012 and to my knowledge had basically no usage for several years. Flutter came out in 2017, and then it took a decent amount of time to start picking up steam. Very uncharacteristic of Google to invest in something like Dart for 7+ years before it really started seeing any returns on the investment.
It happens at most major investment banks, although to my knowledge the mandatory "two weeker" is generally limited to employees who manage risk like traders. It forces another person on the trading desk to be responsible for their carried positions which should help identify any mismarking or other types of fraud.

You only need to match phase at the connection point, so the phase of the grid in France doesn't really matter (as long as ENTSO-E isn't destroying itself before you do anything).

This does get much trickier if you have multiple connection points and it is impossible to be synchronized at all of them because the in-grid distance between the two points is different on the two grids. Then you definitely do need fancier tricks.
Things changed pretty quickly for myspace. The fact that facebook is bleeding users today, the younger generation wants nothing to do with it, and the older people who are using it are nearing death...

I'm not 100% certain Facebook will survive the next ten years. The stock value is nearly half of it's peak and they're not doing anything exciting outside of internet arguments. What's the roadmap for Facebook? If they think people will strap an Oculus to their head all day they're living in fantasy land.
Can you imagine the computing power it would take to use bitcoin to handle, say, all the transactions of just one large bank? It will never be a viable currency for widespread use.

Does a trumpet with a straight mute contribute positively to a song? Compared to an unmuted trumpet it has reduced dynamic control and a flattened, generic timbre. But using them is common, and the distinctive sound is a key part of many well-known musical passages.

The technical proficiency of a trumpeter is completely orthogonal to whether they use a mute on a particular piece, since it is just a simple hardware technique. And the same thing with autotune. Incredible singers can and do use it for its technical effect, because they think that effect contributes to the song.

As a listener you can disagree, just as I find the heavy strings vibrato of classic pop a distraction. But you can't assess how good a song is by categorizing techniques used in it. Claims that new techniques rob music of something ineffable, or just sound bad, are ubiquitous for new musical techniques and are as old as instruments at least.

If you think autotune is the First Bad One when people said the same things about piano pedals, metal violin strings, geared tuning pegs, electric amplification, I just want you to consider the company you're in here.

You can not like it but stop claiming it's objectively bad when it is not.
Theory is great but my radio station is filled with ads about loan rates that starts with 2.
This should be an exciting year from a technical perspective. I am not sure how it will make racing competitive or not though. I would love to see a back of field team, such as Williams, suddenly become competitive again, but that is perhaps unlikely.

If nothing else you have the most drastically different looking cars in quite some time and that will undoubtedly evolve throughout the season and into the next couple of years.

The article highlights the dramatic differences between, Red Bull, Ferrari, and Mercedes, but others took bold directions as well such as Aston Martin. Within the first few races we should know who is onto the right direction and who probably need to scrap their current philosophy.
My point is it's not peanuts either.

We need a definition of genius and a way to measure this. I see genius all around me. It doesn't get recognized because so much genius is getting actualized now we just expect it. People are upset with Apple because they don't come out with a new game changing innovation every 6 months.
Education is an important, but not unique, part of the puzzle: slowness and resources are the rest. In the past researches was made ALSO for profit, but also just as mere research, there was no management no "time-to-market" push like these days and things evolve slowly so there is time to produce valuable things.

These days books are written and re-written with purposes like "publish-or-perish", "we need new ed. for profit" etc. the outcome is obviously mostly garbage. There is not much public research just done to research, with economic tranquility and slow thinking, again the outcome can't be mostly different than garbage.

The fact that the post mentions hiring (cost) isn't my hesitation. It's that bringing cost into a conversation about the technical merits of a given technology can be a heavy-handed way of shutting down the conversation. In some cases, technical merits very much do justify the cost, but that can only happen by creating the space to find out.

Said differently: I believe it's often worthwhile to discuss the deeper technical merits of options without hastily jumping to a cost discussion.
The allegations by OPCW are politicised[0] and based on theoretical chemistry, i.e hexamine as an acid scavenger.

That is to say: neither the Syrian government nor Russia have used chemical weapons in Syria. They haven't used them because they are -- for all intents and purposes -- useless. If you want to take down a group of people in flip flops and have access to a thermobaric[1] MLRS[2] you're not going to break international law so you can give one or two of them a scratchy throat with chlorine payloads (if you're lucky).

Given that the Syrian war is still ongoing, that seems to debunk the idea that it's as easy as "Drop nerve gas on a city, walk in a couple days later."

I have noticed Amazon's poor book search results too. If you search "fortran" in books you see some irrelevant content (the biography "When Fortran was Queen" is not what people are looking for) on the first page of 24 books, and the quality falls after that.

There would be probably be volunteers who could curate common Amazon book searches in their area of interest. I think this would help Amazon's sales, because I doubt that many people buy the dumb notebooks mentioned.
SNMP is how PDUs let us monitor power consumption over a telco's whole hosting infrastructure (hundreds of sites). Security at protocol level is inexistent, so it runs on a very isolated and very monitored network. Not suitable for infrastructures that can't provide that sort of sophistication to compensate for SNMP's gaps.
There are still limits, they are crazy high limits, but still limits. Add enough Mass to the planet and you break the rocket equation (by break I mean fuel required to achieve orbit is grater than the mass of the planet), or we get crushed by the added gravity.
> Has money suddenly become more important to everyone?

Quite possibly, or dare I say probably. The amount of available products and experiences one could purchase with more money was significantly smaller in Einstein's time than today. I think it'd be quite a reasonable hypothesis to posit the explosion of consumerism coupled with the everything everywhere effects of online life have caused folks to be considerably more aware of, and interested, monetary gain.
still are tho
It was particularly egregious last year.
So you detect local time and serve a "sleeping" page based on that?
>Flutter still has its quirks, but hands down, it's the best platform for the majority of "standard" apps

How is the market for "standard" apps doing? One would think that by now "UI for a Database/API" should have died out already? Even if companies do need an UI for a DB or an API, that job must have had become really simple with all the frameworks and libraries.

On Twitter I keep seeing people building the millionth water tracking app, so I guess there's still market for everything but I feel like "Coding regular UI with a login form and stuff" kind of jobs must be vanishing, aren't they? Surely design tools must be able to extract functioning UI's or a bit of coding know how should be able to enable anyone put together a decent UI using components libraries?
Obviously you find another job first. That will take a few weeks in this market.
Maybe. But all the ckickbaits are bad ckickbaits.
To be fair, I would never consider "boring, business-class" desktops to be a viable Linux machine. Machines designed for bulk sales to boring businesses are exactly the bargain-basement, Windows-subsidized pieces of kit I was saying should be avoided, regardless of "people say never has any issues."
The real threat I think will not be in trying to trick people with fake videos, but instead deep flags: create fake videos showing awful things about the politician one wants to win, and then attribute the fakes to supporters of the guy you want to lose and make them look like animals.

Especially in coordination with a media campaign, it would be an effective way of undermining the opponent by making them look simultaneously grossly unethical and desperate. Even better if you can get the FBI involved to investigate whether the video was created directly by the opponent or "only" by his supporters. And anybody describing what actually happened could easily be straw manned into sounding like a nutter.

And the quality is already perfectly fine for this.
Japan is not only the country hit most frequently by a large margin, it is also the country hit by the strongest natural disasters.
Potentially - but the quantity focus that you're talking about is a direct result of the construction and development that we allow. We basically prohibit people taking risks in architecture and design because it's impossible to build a lot of "interesting" stuff due to zoning (which is what you can build) and structure (which is how you can build) regulations.

All of the pretty architecture that you're talking about was built when the legal handcuffs for doing it didn't exist.

Tl;dr - I get what you're saying but can't ignore the structure of what we've set up that encourages/enables it.
I went through the exact same experience. Choosing dart felt like silly to me but after a using flutter for years now it makes 100% sense.

The way both flutter and dart adapts for each others needs is super cool.

"I once had a job where I had to locate passages in Phil Dick's novels based on English translations of French editions. In many cases it was non-obvious, in a few cases it couldn't be done at all. There were passages in the french that just didn't exist in the original."

That's funny, because PKD once wrote of a game wherein the players translate from one language to another and back again (he wrote this long before computer translation existed, by the way).

If anyone remembers which PKD novel this was in and any details about the game, I'd love to hear about it, as I no longer remember myself.
The specific job includes customer service. It's what they are being paid for. Employees who do the job poorly are at greater risk for replacement by replacement hires. This is why many companies ask customers to rate individual service providers.
My guess would be that ice melting in the caps triggers a release tension cascade in several parts of the crust, but is just a feeling. Less weight in the poles could make the planet tend to go more "sphaerical".

You might get 10 business days of PTO, to be used as vacation, sick time, parental leave, etc.

The thing is there are no laws enforcing any time off in the US.

So what you get isn’t standardized or available across the board. Generally I haven’t found any that offer less than two weeks, but… I have absolutely worked places that give you the time off but penalize you socially or otherwise if you dare to take it.
it also means that you are selecting only the people who know they want to work with it every day whilst filtering out people who would end up disliking it

Doesn't that imply that we all like the languages we use every day? I'm fairly sure that's not the case for a lot of developers. In fact, I'm certain loads would like the opportunity to use what they think is a 'better' language, but they can't because too few companies hire for it.
I think there isn't enough distinction in the term "genius". How do you even compare their contributions? It is easy when you have someone like Euclid or Newton, who's work is taught in pre-college grades. Who is the last person to have an impact on pre-collegiate math syllabi? It's been centuries. Then you look at someone like Einstein who was discussed in every major magazine and newspaper at the time his general theory was articulated. I think Hawking got the similar treatment, but has he impacted what is taught in 4-year college the way Einstein did? I think Hawking's genius is too esoteric.

There needs to be a new term. "Genius" is too limp to describe individuals who radically alter the curriculum taught to undergraduate students.
This title is stupid. It appears to be asking "Is there a theoretical limit to how much value can be produced?" but it's really asking "Will we destroy our planet and/or run out of resources?".

Also, this article is an editorial with apparently no author, so I don't even know who I'm supposed to be grumpy at.
Ask HN: Alternative ways to move a dog, human, and some baggage overseas?
I need to move myself, a 23kg dog, and about 8 suitcases worth of stuff from the USA to Southern Europe. International shipping and pet relocation services that will take this route either don't instill confidence (amateurish websites, poor reviews) or don't respond to inquiries.

I can spend a fair amount of money on this. Are there any websites where I can connect with ships, sailors, or other potentially helpful organizations / individuals (private or commercial) who might provide this service?
