Yes, today Tesla is a classic all-American name. I really doubt that many people heard about this obscure guy called Nikola Tesla.
This is carte blanche to silence any opinion you (or your mob) doesn't like and its absurd that people think its valid. Completely flies in the face of the spirit of freedom of expression.

There are arguments that need to be expressed even though ideologues may think that they are harmful. That's the point of open discussion. There are questions that need to be asked even if others believe they may have inconvenient answers. That's the point of objective science. Because of sentiment like yours, we increasingly have neither, and we are all worse off for it.
Pain is not harm.

Suffering is not necessarily bad.

One can live a full life in the midst of hurting.

I can't find any chess books by Lisitsky or Lissitsky.

Did you perhaps mean Lipnitsky ("Questions of Modern Chess Theory - A Soviet Classic")?

There's also Lisitsin/Lisitsyn ("First/Second Book of Chess Strategy").
This is what I do. Look for karma change, then click comments. It also makes me more conscious about voting since I do want to indicate to the other person that their comment was meaningful. Which I like HN's voting system and lack of displaying numbers next to other users comments. I think a lot of subtle things HN does encourages more engaged discussions and less heated battles.

I don’t have a problem with the definition. I’m not sure who or what you’re disagreeing with.
> Graham has forgotten his own

"If a person is not a liberal when he is twenty, he has no heart; if he is not a conservative when he is forty, he has no head."
> Isn't this just a lazy form of misgendering?

No, because "they" isn't gender-specific. It's not referring to someone by the wrong gender, it's not referring to them by their gender at all.

> What is the point of specifying pronouns then?

I'd argue that there probably isn't much point. Why do we refer to people by their gender? No idea. It doesn't make any sense to me.

No way they made that rookie mistake... training on your own predictions leads to a useless feedback loop that only exacerbates errors.

What about a GPT-3-based autocorrect/Swype predictor?
Language syntax is redundant so that compilers can detect errors. If there was no redundancy in a language, every random stream of bytes would be a valid program.

It's like having dual-path redundancy in an airplane avionics system. If they disagree, then it is clear there's a fault in one of them - but it doesn't mean you can tell which one is erroneous. Without redundancy, there's no way to detect faulty operation.

Guessing which parse is correct, or which avionics subsystem is correct, is as bad as no redundancy at all.
Fear. State-sponsored vivisection is a pretty strong deterrent against dissent.

I switched to DEVONthink Pro when Evernote switched to Electron and started removing features (e.g. related notes). I capture a lot of images of documents and need the OCR capabilities and search. They also have a fairly extensive AppleScript support so you can automate almost everything. Very happy with the move so far.

The most broken thing with the PS/2 connection was if I plugged in a keyboard/mouse after the system booted it wouldn't be recognized and I had to reboot.

I also imagine if you decoded how much of the USB protocol is needed to operate say a USB-to-PS/2 adapter and keyboard, that would be much smaller than the spec. Don't need power delivery or video or higher operating speeds? Things get much simpler.
Yeah, one shouldn't be judging the performance and stability of zsh based on oh-my-zsh of all things. oh-my-zsh is one giant mix of everyone's configs, which severely degrades performance and stability. It's for people who want most features out of zsh in the quickest way possible. Those who prefers an optimized config would be better off configuring zsh themselves. Even getting the autocompletion right would provide a great QOL improvement over anything bash can provide, though it's unfortunately a bit trickier to configure than is ideal.

In the early 70s, Warren Tietelman (also inventor of Undo; his 67 PhD thesis for Minsky was on what we would call an IDE today) developed a feature for Interlisp called DWIM, for Do What I Mean. It would figure out that you’d forgotten a paren or mistyped a function name and would rewrite your code for you.

It was good the way autocorrect is good today, and I hated it, but you couldn’t switch it off because it was also used for macro expansion!

Pretty sure this modality of power has been with us since ancient days. (The beast may be homeless but there is always a beast master.)
Meerschaum – Data Visualization Pipelines in Minutes (Console Interview)
Semicolon insertion in Javascript is nothing like braces.

The grammar for e.g. an if statement is simple: *if (* expression *)* statement *else* statement. One particular value of statement is a block statement, which is where the braces come from. Nothing more, nothing less.

Inversely, the grammar specifically says that most statements (of types empty, expression, do-while, continue, break, return, throw, and debugger) must end with a semicolon, and ASI is explicitly described as a few cases where you're allowed to add an extra token to the token stream when the grammar refuses to accept the stream as-is.
"MMTers also tend to focus on government (sometimes called vertical) money creation ..."

I notice that MMT discussion (esp. on [1]) focus very tightly on sovereign currencies for their examples and spend a lot of time describing the impossibility of default, etc., for governments that make loans in their own currency.

This is, of course, correct.

But I continue to wonder: in a world of MMT - a world wherein we fully adopt MMT as our model and pursue it explicitly - what is to happen to the Argentinas and the Ukraines and the Malaysias, etc. ? That is always glossed over ... is it just assumed that they will be as ill-served as always by the world order ?

AFAICT the answer that MMT has for Argentina (for instance) is: You'll be as fucked as you've always been.

no one should dispute that people might react emotionally to statements.

that doesn't necessarily imply that all speakers should accept the burden to be so inoffensive that _no_ listener would react negatively.
When there are enough people you stop thinking of them as lives that have value. Naturally the ones in prison are the least desirable.
From what I've seen, there was very little public support for the covid certificate. People sort of put up with it because they were banned from public places without it. It was difficult to mount any meaningful protest, because protesting was difficult and dangerous at the time.

Of course you've failed to mention that the use of a covid certificate was largely elective. You could simply not go out for dinner or on vacation and you would have been fine. Things are bit different when it comes to mass surveillance, databases, and facial recognition.
We did invade vietnam. Vietnam beat their brutal french colonizers and won their independence ( 1st indochina war ). But we decided to get involved and seized half the country. ( 2nd indochina war ).

> North Vietnam was the aggressor.

No. North vietnam were liberators helping their fellow vietnamese in the south ( viet cong ) expel a foreign occupier.

> The U.S. did invade Iraq, using the authority granted in U.N. resolution 678.

How sneaky of you. That was the 1st iraq war. What about the 2nd iraq war?
No I just think there's no point in calling the right out. The only people I have any chance of influencing are my fellow liberals who have themselves made the mistake of becoming authoritarian re speech. I think it's really alienating and hypocritical to call yourself anti-racist and then attack white people, in general. And cooling the reverse-racism would yield very good benefits, as this one "policy" fuels a great deal of Trumpian insanity. By controlling ourselves we have every chance of deescalating a bad situation.
Yes, that’s exactly the kind of thing which I think is a waste of time/effort.
The $7BN Megaproject to Save Venice (2021)
> Electric heaters don't go down the sewer shortly after being turned on, and Europe is not embargoed to not be able to import some in the coming months. Surely, the price is going to jump up.

Does this matter? The embargoes are putting up a heavy strain on the world's logistic supply chains. The price of everything that depends on logistics is going up, including things in theory not directly related to not-embargoed electric heaters.
Barring a sudden but protracted scenario like an all-out-embargo that fuels (pun intended) my crazy post-apocalyptic gas war fantasies following massive heated social turmoil of the cold rabble boiling with rage, I anticipate minor problems for the grid, to which millions of electric heaters are suddenly connected.
And although electric heaters are child's play to produce, I have my doubts about rapid implementation.

Of course, I already have two of them.
One in the basement, one in my garden shed.

So China infringes on human rights, in other news "water is wet". Not really newsworthy. I would be shocked if it was Iceland or Norway doing that.

As much as we hate hearing about it, only the Chinese people have the power to make changes to this regime. Having met many Chinese students abroad, I'd say they are OK with this happening. Either they are apathic, or supportive of their totalitarian regime.
The Long Shadow of the ‘Nigerian Prince’ Scam
My guess is that there is some tension in the voting population between wanting police to use this tech to solve crimes, and fear that a continent-wide database will enable surveillance abuses. A federated solution might reduce the abuse potential. But more cynically, it allows for the effective creation of a continent-wide database while reassuring voters that there is no continent-wide database.
Interesting. On the surface this looks like a complex question with
many layers of nuance and spheres of interest. Underneath there's one
inconvenient question being avoided that bothers me.

It is a slippery slope into a vile dystopia of mutually suspicious
snitches. A society of people all filming each other, looking for
minor transgressions is no kind of society at all. Just wait until the
face recognition corpus is fair game and apps start popping up to ID
strangers with shifty eyes and too swarthy skin. On the other hand,
millions are injured on the roads, many drivers are idiots, and cars
are so 20th century anyway. I can see how hostility foments on both
sides.

What is really going on here? I think we are killing the social
contract by a thousand cuts. Isn't the cause that the police and local
officials responsible for managing traffic don't do their job -
usually because they are understaffed, underfunded and demotivated?
This set s up a downward spiral. We are abandoning an expectation that
our institutions of justice can and will do their job, because
"there's an app for that!", and so a vigilante society needs to step up
in their place. Apps like this tacitly condone disestablishment of
police and law courts (of course they claim to merely 'complement'
them), and by osmosis open the door for Big Tech to usurp their place
(Cue app-store "police approved" calibrated apps that cut out the cops
and just issue the ticket).

Also, what countermeasures will soon be available to drivers in this
technological arms race? Giving every citizen the power to be a cop
has the hidden effect of giving everyone an equal and opposite motive
to be a criminal. Much as I'd love to help prosecute the assholes who
speed around my neighborhood I don't see this ending well in the long
run.
> Pain is not harm

Yes, pain = experienced disutility = harm.

> Suffering is not necessarily bad.

Suffering is itself bad, but may be an acceptable cost for some greater good, sure.

> One can live a full life in the midst of hurting.

Sure, it's possible to do one despite the other, but that doesn't negate that the latter is bad compared to it's absence, all other things being equal.
James Damore was a lowly software engineer and that did not save him from being canceled by the mob and losing his job. All the more outrageous because his working paper was an honest and forthright - and broadly accurate - response to an express request for feedback about how to improve working conditions. Shades of "let a thousand flowers bloom".
Those who would make peace with tyranny do not deserve peace.
>I have identified some issues. I certainly didn't ask enough questions when I started and I definitely will wait around for people to get back to me sometimes rather then be proactive. I also tend to spend too long tackling an issue or trying to fix something I think I messed up rather than raise it to the team that I am having an issue.

What's "enough questions"? What's "too long" when tackling an issue? It's good that you're actively trying to consider these things, but a senior dev should be able to answer these questions, and preferably when you first start a story.

When you first get assigned a story, try asking your superior for some guidance about what you should be able to figure out on your own, what you might need help with, and how long something should take.

I'm assuming you've been given a timeframe for how long a story should take to complete, so consider asking your superior more specific questions like "how long should I look on my own before asking for help on sub-task X"? Obviously there's some uncertainty in how long anything should take, but senior devs should be able to give some parameters.

If they can't give any parameters/guidelines, and you're still being told you either took too long, or ask questions you should know by now - then something is out of wack with management.
I find it illuminating how he ends his blog-post:

"All we have to do is keep pushing back, and the wave collapses"

Sounds like a political rallying cry. A rallying cry for those on the ramparts. The line assumes the reader knows they are part of the "we" and calls them to action. Who are they? Stop the steal?
> I’d also paid $40 in Bitcoin fees, such as levies for transferring the currency between Coinbase and my digital wallet. My Visa, by contrast, is paying me—$20 in cash-back rewards.

This doesn't mention that Visa rewards are subsidized by a ~1-3% fee that is payed by the vendor, and paints the picture that somehow Visa is away something for nothing. [1]

Blazor does something like this but for different reasons (ServerPrerendered mode for lower latency UX).

It took me a solid day to realize the behavior was intentional. There were no problems but it was one of those "I cannot build an empire on these uncertain foundations" moments.
Can you try to reformulate your question? I can’t parse it.
I’m sure others have, but I’ve gotten no real life benefit they as these apps require attention and fiddling.

And notifications (of which I don’t have many) get in the way. I could configure some Do Not Disturb mode, but so far, it’s been less trouble just to use something less technical.
Hypothesis: cats have a mental architecture — brain hardware — that's amenable to learning as much as that of any other mammal with a cortex; but they don't come with instinctive knowledge of certain mental schemas — brain Operating System software, essentially — required for social intelligence. Those mental schemas instead have to be taught/communicated.

- Have you ever seen a "cat raised by dogs"? They develop the same mental schemas around socialization that dogs do; begin to understand the sort of "pack" structure and reward norms that dogs think in terms of; and so end up trainable exactly like dogs, using e.g. social-status gratification/reassurance as a substitute for food. And often, you won't actually have to explicitly train a "cat raised by dogs"; cats are seemingly highly skilled at modelling (i.e. witnessing others earning rewards for a behavior, and then self-motivatedly learning to mimic that behavior), and so a cat that hangs around trained dogs may teach themselves "tricks" it observes the dogs doing.

- Have you ever seen a cat taught human language using AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) devices, a.k.a. "button training"? They can very quickly absorb human mental schemas, learning to not just to favor "using their words" to signal their needs, but also, through that, to begin modelling the world narratively, telling stories about what they witnessed other-person A doing to other-person B. If you communicate the terms "soon" and "later" to them, they will begin asking about the future, expressing a curiosity about whether events (e.g. a person coming home from work) will happen near or far in time. These are not things that cats seem to instinctively think about, until they have the mental schemas to think about them; but once they absorb these schemas, they do engage with these topics!
Or more likely, they can’t believe mere mortals would dare push back against them.
Doesn't this argument work about as well to deny the validity of most psychological conditions? Some have a physical basis, but a lot are entirely rooted in internal experience.
You are the n=1 because you related this phenomenon to your own personal experience. Number of managers you've had is irrelevant.
I really dislike the automatic semicolon insertion feature of JavaScript. (It is, in my opinion, one of the worst features of JavaScript.)

" ... Any EUR that they could place into an individual entity's account would need to come from tax receipts or some kind of loan ..."

I think it is, explicitly, only the loan that is the source of the EUR in your example.

I think MMT suggests this very simple relationship:

Money is created by loans and destroyed by taxes.

This is unexpected as most people think tax receipts somehow bolster the "account" of the government but what MMT is telling us is that the account has no significance because the government arbitrarily controls it.
> Religion is just a belief system.

Hard disagree. I see this idea a lot, and it drives me nuts. This is how you get to silly takes like "atheism is just another religion", "science is just another religion", and all that. I get that religion can be hard to nail down (belief without evidence maybe?), but it's no use just giving up and defining it so broadly that it means nothing.

These claims that the "don't say gay" legislation stifles free speech are dishonest. These are teachers, agents of the state, in a professional setting, not private citizens expressing opinions off the clock. If I'm paying taxes for public education then I should have a say in what gets taught, and that includes culture.
Curiously, Apple’s swiping on iPhone got every word of that right. I don’t know to what degree I’ve individually trained it, though.
This class of citizen-vs-citizen law enforcement should be outlawed entirely. The inevitable result is greater societal division and hostility. They create more problems than they solve.

Operant conditioning research has shown conclusively that punishment does not work for remediating undesirable behavior. Instead, it makes individuals defensive, evasive, and hostile toward the punisher. It is one thing to have punishment meted out by the State under code of law, and quite another to be targeted by members of the public.
Evernote hasn't really advanced for me, especially as my needs have evolved. I ended up switching a while back because of that. I'm currently using Notion because those little built in databases are powerful, but what I really want is a mix of Obsidian and OneNote that can be easily extended and self-hosted.
