There have been a lot of articles about Thomas' conflicts of interest, even before the Trump admin.

Ginni Thomas lobbied against the ACA: https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/142969-dem...

That's a pretty distinct conflict of interest. It may not be illegal, or even against the rules, because the US Supreme Court is a unique body, but really? Seriously? Thomas should have recused himself on a lot of issues if his wife makes money lobbying one way or the other.
It sounds like you mean to say that Smith, Ricardo, and Bastiat are more popular in casual online discussions of economics or economic history, because they aren't any more relevant to contemporary academic economics than Marx is. In fact, as products of the same classical era, they shared some of the same problematic views, including adhering to the labor theory of value, that would discredit Marx's economics.

Of course, any of those names would necessarily be more agreeable to modern economists by nature of not being inherently anti-capitalist, but that's no credit to their scholarship. If anything, extending the our gaze beyond the realm of the contemporary field of economics would reveal that Marx far outpaces these other names in citation value.
got a job as a car salesman. If I wanted to pay my bills I needed to talk to people... sounds silly, but it was very helpful. tldr; throw yourself in the deep end.
Silos are absolutely not necessary, this is simply not true. Dividing up work and responsibilities doesn't necessitate silos, which by definition restrict or prevent communication, but can also be achieved by -- big surprise here -- communicating. This is called collaboration. It's a powerful tool.

Give people trust and agency and you'd be surprised, by the sounds of it, at what they can accomplish.

The only leaders who promote silos are paranoid egotistical sociopaths, at least to some degree

A number of Lisp fans seems to care. That’s why we regularly see articles on HN trying to convince other developers to use Lisp. It has been going on for years. Article after article written by frustrated Lisp fans, not understanding why the language they love is not mainstream. Often making bizarre claims about non-Lisp developers not being smart enough to “get” Lisp or whatever. Not having a clue that most developers care about a lot more than just the programming language. The best way to show the “power” of Lisp is to develop commercially successful software using it. That will do way more to convince smart developers to try out Lisp than writing yet another Lisp article trying to “sell” Lisp.

No. Ecstasy is not a meth. Ecstasy is different substance with different effects.

Ecstasy(MDMA) was like magic for the first time. It certainly should be taken only on special occasions but having molly with your loved one is beautiful experience.
tiktok has great features that make its content more addicting to return to than any other platform:

- it’s all video means it’s higher quality than an image

- every video is guaranteed views which lets anyone go viral

- when anyone can go viral you get more organic content. depends on your patterns but i think most people see majority videos by regular people. the content is much more relatable

- no need to follow

- algorithm is good at finding videos you will like

- keeps you up to date on latest trends (improves your social perception)

- easy to make videos. great editor, pick any music

and you can just scroll down forever. i had it about a year but recently deleted it. it was the ultimate time filler. and honestly too good

I prefer Factor for that.
As additional support for this thesis, the interface to the logical (sometimes physical) file system inside many database kernels is almost exactly this. All four file types have a concrete use case that requires their existence.

One of the things that makes them easier to use in a database kernel context is that even though they are all built on top of the same low-level storage primitives, each file type usually has its own purpose-built API instead of a generic overloaded file API, which would get messy very quickly. A file's type never changes and the set of types is enumerable, so this is clean.

The only thing keeping this from being a user space thing is that there is no practical way of making this POSIX compliant. POSIX has all but permanently frozen what is feasible in a file system. Many database kernels either work off raw block devices or emulated raw blocks device on top of a POSIX file system, on which they build a file system, but it is never exposed to the world which eliminates any requirement for compliance with external standards. Imagine how much easier it would be to build things like databases if this was a first-class API.
UNIX not implementing this is the example given by RPG in his first Worse is Better paper[1]:

> The MIT guy did not see any code that handled this case and asked the New Jersey guy how the problem was handled. The New Jersey guy said that the Unix folks were aware of the problem, but the solution was for the system routine to always finish, but sometimes an error code would be returned that signaled that the system routine had failed to complete its action. A correct user program, then, had to check the error code to determine whether to simply try the system routine again. The MIT guy did not like this solution because it was not the right thing.

At every funeral I've ever attended, save for a few where the deceased was tragically young, many of the attendees are coworkers - current and former. It's always nice for the families to hear about the impact that their loved one had on people they worked with. I've heard all kinds of stories, from people who gave someone encouragement to try for a promotion, or picked up some of their work so they could be out of the office tending to a sick family member, etc.

I've spent the last decade working at a large company on fully remote teams. Nobody I have worked with during that time has lived within 120 miles of me. Most aren't even in the US. They're in London, Dublin, Rome, India. I've occasionally had the fleeting thought: who is going to come to my funeral? I have family and friends, people I know in the community through various things. But there will be a big demographic left out.

I turned 50 a few weeks ago (and just today attended a memorial service of someone I'd known since middle school), so perhaps this is just hitting me at the right time. But it does bother me a bit, and I don't really see an obvious solution for it.

Can you go to the bar, speak to 50 people, make 5 excellent business contacts and conquor the world? No

Can you go to the bar and speak to 50 people? No

Can you go to the bar and speak to 3 people? No

Can you go to the bar? Yes

Ok, this time go to the bar, if you're not ready to speak to people then just observe others interactions. Then go home, that's enough for today.

Next time go to the bar, and speak to one person. Practice. That's enough for today.

Next time go a little further.

That's how I started at the gym. I realized I was avoiding the gym because I didn't know to how to go to the gym, do an excellent workout, and not make an idiot of myself. But that's too much at once.

I started by just going to the gym. Just show up. Stand there, look at the equipment and go home.

Next day, go to the gym, lift 1 weight 10 times. Then go home.

Next day, a little more.

Now I easily do an hour in the gym.

Expose yourself to the thing you fear in a reasonable way, repeated exposure with increasing intensity is what people say when they say "Practice, Practice, Practice"
And as a complete non-expert in this subfield of math (or anything within a hundred miles of it) I would love to hear why people are saying stuff like "equality is a fundamental mistake of mathematics and this approach is fixing it" rather than "this approach is developing a more refined/general/flexible notion of equality".

After a few minutes of deferential throat clearing, I'd like to say "in all seriousness, come on, equality isn't a mistake, and whatever brilliant insight your theory affords still isn't going to do away with it."
The first source I always check are man pages, both for the program and for the config files for that program. Then anything else is normally on the Arch or Gentoo wiki. The are very few topics that aren't covered by one or more of these sources!

I think most people don't consider checking those wikis because they aren't using those distros, but right now they are the largest and most comprehensive source of information that we have and most of the content is generic and works with any distro or even non-linux OSes.

Their definition of accuracy is 1-false_positive_rate. They were quite explicit about that.
It solves the whole problem. You get the interactivity you need combined with the performance.

There are other aspects to the "whole problem" -- you also need a massive ecosystem with adoption across disparate communities (devops, web development, etc). And decades of momentum.

That's why Python isn't going away anytime soon, despite its slowness and warts.
And for IBM, they have their own architecture to look after, OpenPOWER.

But having a more hardened browser literally does nothing to protect you. If your bank's website is hacked because of a third party API, the most well-hardened browser (as the commenter that I replied to describes) in the world will happily allow all of your money to be stolen. A slow-but-secure JS engine does not protect you from JS that's doing things it's allowed to do.

I’d like to see Citibank, Goldman Sachs, and all of the oil majors and aerospace and media behemoths examined. The influence they have on behavior of elected officials is at least as pernicious. Doesn’t matter who is elected or appointed if they behave according to the largest money.
No wonder Facebook is spooked. They tried to get it banned in the US so as to buy some time, but it didn't work. I actually think Facebook would have banned the previous guy earlier but Peter Theil probably promised he could get TikTok banned in the US. When they couldn't deliver the TikTok ban, facebook didn't need him anymore.

This pull quote, which is discussing electric motors, makes no sense.
God wasn't the one doing the torturing. Yes, you could debate whether an omnipotent God is actually responsible for every single thing that happens given He can intervene. But I don't think anybody who takes Job literally simultaneously believes that God is the one doing the torturing.
This is a great insight. I think this might mean tiktok may have in some sense found some alternative to the "winner-takes-all" dynamic we tend to see in social media, like twitter.
On the contrary, Twitter’s users generally seem to believe that Twitter’s moderation is abysmal, and they have clamored for years for it to be better than it is, on a variety of axes.

People largely haven’t moved off Twitter because the people they want to follow haven’t moved off Twitter; the people they want to follow mostly haven’t moved off Twitter because why would they move away from where their audience is?
Maybe it's me but tiktok content is boring to me. Videos too short to care. Finding videos by your keyword is difficult. The camera angles are too zoomed and the thin width and increased height creates ugly looking videos. The videos themselves are people picking an action or movement and isolating it for effect.

I wonder how many others haven't been bite by the tiktok bug.

Git compatibility pretty much rules out the radically different approaches that might actually be better enough to outcompete it. Like:

- Patch-based VCS (darcs, pijul)

- CRDT (live collaboration)

- Image-based systems (Smalltalk)

- Features that require the server to do stuff that Git protocol won’t do, like push notifications

In other words, I can’t imagine leaving Git unless it’s as big of an upgrade as Git was to SVN. And you can’t do that while being wire compatible.

I doubt it. The parent is confused and hence the question obviously. But I get the impression that the parent would benefit from reading an elementary textbook on discrete math as the post is gibberish (as are a few other posts in this thread). I know it sounds rude, but I don't know how else to put it. It's not only the fact that the parent doesn't have a conceptual idea about equivalence relations and in particular equality, isomorphism, let alone homotopy, but is also very confused about what it means for a series to converge which is also very elementary. Before discussing the merits of Dostoevsky in Russian, one must learn and know the Russian alphabet at the very least or something.
The nice thing about separating the view definition from the controller code is you can work on the view without actually running code. Most retained mode GUIs have standalone view editor. That's essentially not possible in immediate mode guis without a lot more mocking of code.
I learned Haskell. Everyone around me loves hearing how awesome monads are, and soon enough, I became a beast at parties.
How to Win Friends and Influence People is well worth a read. It helped me start to think more about how to put myself in others shoes and ask, "how can I make this person feel good about themselves and important?" Focusing on that made it easier for me to approach people because it gave me some type of guidance on how to interact that made me a little less self conscious since I was thinking more about the other person.

(And I don't mean to gloss over that it is took a lot of work, but it was one thing that helped me. Best of luck!)

Fall apart? The whole thing relies on being inconsistent! It's basically the most popular Spanish form of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chewbacca_defense.

They may have relied on "traditional custom" to get here. But they are using "art" when asking "Are you saying culture is bad?".
Forget logic, any complaint to bulls is now obviously coming from uneducated idiots. Any "cultured" person will surely agree that culture is good and ergo bulls are good.

What I'm saying is that, at least in Spain, it's common practice to overextend ANY meaning of "culture" to then use the "art" meaning as a joker card in any argument. It's used in bar conversation, and it's used in the Parliament.
That book was surprisingly accurate in many details, but grossly inaccurate in who the perpetrators were. For instance, I think that analog better parodies the modern day virtue signalling than it does people praying.

Your response is pedantic. It is statistically an outlier.

"There's no accompanying analysis to support its rejection from the comparison, let alone an attempt to quantify exactly how much of an outlier it actually is."

There's no accompanying analysis to support its inclusion in the comparison, let alone an attempt to quantify exactly how comparable it actually is.

Claiming Sweden underperformed Denmark is also a far cry from claiming that Sweden underpeformed other Nordic countries as a whole, as the original article does.

Ask HN: Switching Career from Indie Dev to Corporate Jobs
I got graduated in 2019. Since my college days I'm doing blogging and Independent software development (also Open-source)

Now I want to switch my career and join MNC. The Problem is here in India they are asking for experience. They will never accept my independent development skills or freelancing works as an experience.

In my resume can I mention as Independent Developer under Work Experience? Is it even allowed? Do they consider?

Anybody else switched career like this before?

What will be the best approach?

How can I move forward ?

Need some advice.
Nobody should be shocked that a country reacts badly to being economically sanctioned. The last time we did this at this scale, we got a second world war.

Keep in mind you can not create or destroy gravitational potential - you can only move it. Otherwise you have a discontinuity.

So you would have to start your wormhole with both mouths at the same place, and then move one mouth to the new location, with gravity "flowing" between them all the while.
Encouraging them to make incorrect attempts is outright worse than allowing them to make good ones. There are a lot of ways in which a suicide attempt can go wrong, and pretty much all of them leave the person wanting to die more, not less.
I love wireguard but my one gripe with it is that its not a true data link layer. You have to give it routing information through an out of band mechanism “AllowedIPs.” One downside is that you can’t have two peers that act as general routers on the same wireguard network. With Ethernet, you can have multiple nodes in the same subnet acting as generic routers, it’s just a matter of sending IP packets to that host.

I hope someday wireguard addresses this issue and makes itself fully transparent as a data link layer.

Air source heat pumps that couple to forced air venting work great as well. The Mitsubishi Zuba line up is an example. Of course better insulation is needed reap any benefits.
This paper feels very unconvincing. It seems to just assume that there is some intrinsic entropy inside a particle which, by virtue of their annihilation, must be released. I'm fairly sure that is not at all what the Landauer limit is talking about. This cited paper https://aip.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/5.0064475 comes up a with a number and says it's intrinsic in each particle, but.. that just seems so sketchy.

The Landauer limit says: since entropy can't be destroyed, if an irreversible computation takes place -- if a bit is 'erased' -- the entropy must be released a heat. Then, using dE = T dS, that change in entropy ought to correspond to a change in energy.

Nowhere in this is it claimed that particles store intrinsic bits of information. It's just talking about data that is modeled in the _state_ of a system. Erasing a bit means collapsing two states of the system into one.

Also, maybe I'm being unfair here, but I'd guess that no paper about entropy that starts with "digital information storage technologies have radically transformed our modern society" is going to end up being good.
I don't think that's a reasonable criticism of Medicare. Most other countries with universal healthcare do require you to be in the country to get that care. Europeans don't get much benefit from their universal healthcare when they leave Europe for example.
Contrasting Concepts of Harmony in Architecture – C. Alexander/Eisenman Debate
> History has demonstrated umpteen times that developing large, sophisticated, maintained, and maintainable projects in Lisp is entirely and demonstrably possible.

The thing is, developing maintained, maintainable projects is work, and everything I see about Lisp seems to have an undertone of being done, to some degree, for fun. It’s a language that scratches a specific itch; people feel clever about writing elegant code in it.

But the sad truth is that 99% of real application code doesn’t need to be clever or elegant. It needs to be simple and cheap and maintainable by anyone.
