You raise great points and I don’t have all the answers. But I don’t believe it’s impossible to achieve such a framework given the time to work out issues like those you’ve described.

> you have simply reinvented the state

If you could reinvent the state so that it is predictable, testable, and not subject to human corruption then I’d say it’s a good thing! And also quite the experiment haha

That’s a bit like saying that bank robbery proceeds should be considered the price of security consulting. You can’t just blithely wave away the spirit of the law and scienter as if it’s not a thing.

There's a reason why "do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law" is not the guiding principle for Western society.
USB-C seems to be hit & miss in general, it not only depends on the connector but also the cable and what's on the other side. I use my M1 with a Lenovo USB-C dock an theoretially it's capable of piping 4k at 60 Hz to my monitor, but in order for that to work I'd need to buy cables that cost half as much as the dock, so I just plug the HDMI cable directly into the Macbook (and am thankful they included an HDMI port at all). Also, you have to know which USB-C port to plug stuff into as they don't seem to be equal in terms of functionality, or maybe it's just the cable? In any case they're not marked differently. But yeah, first world problems.
This has so much extortion potential I'm surprised all the major tech companies aren't doing it and milking it for all it's worth. It's amazing they have left this cash on the table for this long.
I think they mean that GPU applications that are not optimized for TBDR may experience reduced performance.
Ask HN: What is the latest mainstream parser?
I am looking for a general purpose parser - something which is powerful to handle a variety of grammars. I am thinking of using Flex/Bison and AntLR.

Am I woefully behind? What is the latest and most powerful production quality parser available?
Full and outright racism was 100% allowed on reddit up until a few years ago. Same with Facebook. Groups and subs dedicated solely to racist rhetoric were super common.
Reconciliation: A game designed to frustrate the player
I've started to be able to sense it, when i feel that burnout creeping up, and i know i need to just stop and take a vacation asap. I can try to push it a couple more weeks, but then those couple of weeks will basically be at like half productivity.

So from a cold hard company numbers standpoint, they'd rather i took my vacation right away, be off for 2 weeks, and then be back to full productivity when i get back. Rather than, say, work at half productivity for a month, and then take a 2 week vacation, which adds up to having "lost" ~4 weeks of productivity.

From your team perspective, you need to take vacations yourself to set the standard for others, that it's ok for them to take vacation regularly, otherwise they'll start forcing themselves and burn out and feel miserable the same way you are.

You can also think of it from the extreme ends, would your company be happier if you pushed yourself for a couple more months until you completely burned out and quit, or would they rather you took vacation for multiple months and then continued working at the company afterwards. I would imagine most companies would choose the later, unless you worked at, say, a triple-A gaming studio, and then they wanted you to burn yourself out until the shipping deadline, and then they want you to quit so they don't need to pay you a severance package.
You see even if you had power and wanted to do something about ecological exhaustion (not just warming, but resource and land overuse, biodiversity loss, pollution, etc), you're going to run into hordes of people who build their happiness in life on consumption and/or doing business selling that consumption.

But effective countermeasures must reduce the absolute amount of consumption, whereas the only acceptable policies in practice are those that shift consumption elsewhere, hence no progress on this topic (absolute demand rises). Curiously related and posted here today https://blog.datawrapper.de/fair-share-resources/ (1)

And don't even try policing behavior w.r.t. that goal. For that our species is just too broken in the head. Really the best shot is a complex system of supply side regulation, education, technological innovation with a dash of psychological and cultural influencing and hope.

Really the better question to ask for oneself by now might be how to live with the knowledge that we're running off the cliff (with careful optimism "it might not become as bad" in the back of the mind).

Humanity learns by catastrophe... sometimes, a bit. Or take solace in the fact that modern civilization is just a blip on geological timelines and it will all recover after we're gone (until the next ape rises).

There was so much, and so little has still been addressed.

The ACRONYM fiasco alone is enough to discredit the entire institution, but apparently news moves too fast for real public discourse about that.
I was so convinced, after all the delays, the cost overruns and the general bureaucracy surrounding the whole project, that it would fail miserably.

I'm so happy it seems to go flawlessly since its (perfect) launch.
Thanks for the context. My comment was not intended as an indictment of the post. It's an interesting problem and the missing physics is clearly not trivial. All I mean to say here is that I think saying "no one knows" trivializes all the knowledge that people (like you!) do have.
Ask HN: How to Deal with CSVs?
I have a massive CSV (~1.6TB) and I need to merge rows that reference the same data. What are your goto tools for such tasks/data?
A great idea. Probably the only folks able to do something like this would be apple (at least pre- DOJ litigation) because they didn't have to worry about what publishers of apps thought. Once they have to offer other app stores publishers won't accept that and will just move off the apple store.
I read that as some type of Birthday Paradox at first.
This is a nice dive. I've also came across some SVG libraries that end up converting SVG path coordinates from original floating point values into integers, and then apply a scale/transform to that path to get the desired final size. Presumably this is/was faster for complicated paths or other elements.
I generally will hit burnout about twice a year. I guess most folks in these comments don't struggle with it all that often, which I'm happy to see. When I hit burnout here's some things I do (and some things to keep in mind to avoid burnout):

- I train other engineers. It takes up a lot of time, it's fairly monotonous, and low risk. It has the added benefit of opening up the opportunity to spread load some of your work, which could be adding to your burnout.

- I take time off. I do this twice a year in two week blocks, generally in spring and fall. Those times are perfect because there's already a lot of people out in December and January, so I have one red-hot period in the middle of the year where the bulk of my work is done.

- Stop coding. This may be personal to me; enterprise software has really ruined the passion I have for software. When I'm off, I don't code. I go hangout with my girlfriend and play video games.

- Limit time spent doing work things. In software, we let companies leak into our lives in many ways. Shut these signals down completely with good boundaries: don't let your phone ring at night unless you're being paid to answer it, don't buy into company "hackathon" events whereby a company gets free IP by removing the constraints of the backlog, etc...

- Don't intermingle "work friends" and real friends. Work friends like to talk shop, that's great over a beer after a stressful day, but if I'm trying to relax on the regular I limit my time spent with work friends. By virtue of our shared employment they will likely never know me beyond git clone --depth 1 until they leave the company or I do.

Hope this helps.

> easily take assets across borders to leave authoritarian regimes

How do you get your assets converted to crypto in the first place, if an authoritarian regime prevent you from having something akin to a bank account?

> comparatively cheap remittances for people sending money back to their families in another country

According to cryptofees.net, BTC transaction fees average 4% and ETH 1.6%. Even the median fees are pretty high when compared for example to Wise.com and there you only have fees when converting currencies.

> bringing a form of storing assets to the 2 billion or so unbanked individuals of the world

This is a fair point, but I would argue that people who are unbanked are not the kind of people who will find it easy to securely manage crypto keys and wallets.
First half is some ranting about Chompsky.
Then we get into the meat of it:

> This theory started showing its limits when Bernie was defeated by Biden despite having a much bigger war chest.

This is some guy who claims that there is no oligarchy because he doesn't see evidence of it in the outcomes of elections vs recorded spending. Specifically, focusing on Bernie's failure to get the nomination over Biden (notably ignoring the previous election cycle).

I don't know how to characterize this other than a willful blindness.

You are probably better off going with a computability theorem (such as the halting problem) instead of incompleteness. However, I suspect both will get you to the same place. Namely, there exists a program whose behavior cannot be predicted.

There is no theory that says that there does not exist a program whose behavior can be predicted. We have just criminally underfunded research into formal verification; and somehow decided that even computationally limited, code is law programs handling millions of dollars don't need any type of formal verification
But also untouched. Maybe we'll find a way to dig up evidence in the future...
We can only go by what we know and what we have evidence for. Sure, other small civs likely existed, but we don't have known evidence of them and their history, etc. At most we have tombs and archeological ruins to go by. So we go with the earliest civs for whom we have written evidence as well as lots of physical evidence for in addition to present-day influence. Otherwise things start to get very speculative.
It's funny that in Europe those posirions, generally summed up as appeasement towards Putin, are mostly spread by the extreme right (Le Pen in France currently being a prime example).

And appeasement is what those proposals, territorial concessions etc, are. And as appeassement in the thirties the effected countries are not asked their opinion (the future allies gave away parts of Chekoslovakia in Munich without asking).

Appart from that, the general observation holds true: The US definition of socilicsm is only applicable to the US, in every other country it is just laughable.

EDIT: Regarding embargoes of oil and gas. Those are the last things the West can take away from Putin. There is nothing left after that, Putin will entirely depend on China for revenue, making a defacto puppet of Bejing. Not sure anybody wants Putin in a position where he has nothing to loose. Sure, put those embargoes in place as an answer to something Putin did. And not pro-actively, becaise that would be escalation. As a coubter example, the Greens in Germany, by no means at risk as being seen war hawks, a strongly in favor of sending heavy arms like tanks to Ukraine.
It's a loan with a guaranteed atomicity in repaying.

A single atomic transaction does:

1) Borrow $80M
2) Use $80M however you want
3) Return $80M + loan fees (e.g. on Aave this would be 0.09%)

The lender is algorithmically guaranteed to get the money back and the borrower can potentially take advantage of large scale transient opportunities, or...just wreak havoc on a poorly secured system.

Agreed, but a text is better.
You can find quite a few 3h long video intros to a language on YouTube. Put that on 3x the speed to get the basic feel for the language. I've found it better than articles, since it shows the not only the language, but also the environment and workflows.
I'm not the greatest source of information given my own issues, but I _can_ confidently say that burnout can be really debilitating if you don't take care of it. I strongly recommend you take 3+ weeks off, preferably not writing code. If you can't swing the vacation, you can try for medical leave.
Sadly, pedantic sarcasm is the most misunderstood of the humors.
It's hard to get the contents from an MSM outlet since most if not all the centrist mainstream outlets barely mention it, which makes the optics seem partisan. At best, they're just covering the controversy of their own decision to do a news blackout before the 2020 elections, barely mentioning the laptop contents. (Some people on HN may disagree, but a 2nd consecutive Trump term would have been disastrous.) Meanwhile, the overtly partisan outlets on the right give lurid details... but they're partisan which also makes the optics look bad. However, given the recent news articles they've also been vindicated, especially the NY Post.

This is probably the best, seemingly non-partisan summary of the contents. (It's still partisan because it's so vague, when it doesn't need to be.)

"The Post and other conservative media outlets’ coverage of Hunter’s files partly involved lurid material about Hunter’s personal life. Hunter’s struggles with drug addiction were already a matter of public record, but the files contained further embarrassing details, as well as sexual material. The other focus of coverage was Hunter’s lucrative foreign work, most notably with a Ukrainian gas company and Chinese business interests. Trump allies had long claimed this work proved not just Hunter’s but Joe Biden’s corruption, and they combed through Hunter’s emails to try to make that case."

Here's another mainstream instance of late coverage

One infamous email purportedly detailed a business arrangement between a Chinese company and the Biden family.
Tony Bobulinski, who is listed as a recipient of the email first published by the New York Post, offered further detail last year in a statement to Fox News on the correspondence in October 2020, which references a proposed equity split: “20” for “H” and “10 held by H for the big guy?” “The reference to ‘the Big Guy’ in the much-publicized May 13, 2017, email is in fact a reference to Joe Biden,” said Bobulinski, who says he was brought on as CEO of Sinohawk Holdings by Hunter Biden and James Gilliar, the sender of the email.

This is from a tabloid style publication with published screenshots from media found on the laptop.

"It also reportedly contains a 12-minute video that appears to show Hunter smoking crack while engaged in a sex act with a woman, as well as numerous other sexually explicit images."

In light of this, I predict that impartial, objective media outlets will continue to be replaced by overtly partisan news outlets at a faster pace. When I think about it, I'm not sure an impartial media outlet has existed for years now given that it's so difficult for human beings to be fully objective.

Along with what would happen to your family. In the USSR it was often not just yourself, they'd also target your family and its well-being just the same in the name of collective guilt.
Forget the locking and data race problem...I think about the massive performance problem.

It turns multiplication into O(n) instead of O(log n). `mult 2000` would take 2000 times longer than `mult 2`.

Because a bank's code is not the law. Banks handle actual money, for which there is a thousand year history of common law for settling disputes of ownership, debt, theft, collection practices, and insurance.
No. Saturated fats are not inherently bad. If anything, the good fats tend to be saturated fats.

Seed oils are typically high in omega-6 which is bad because there's way too much omega-6 in the modern diet compared to omega-3.
I have considered paying for a personal GSuite account partially because of this - I use my Google account for a lot of MFA stuff so it is fairly critical to things I do. At work we have a corporate account and their support is pretty solid (especially the chat support - I seem to get someone very quickly and they are way better than your typical tier 1 drone). I get that people are upset over this but are we REALLY surprised that we get shit support for a FREE service?

They also have a separate site / login / forum for proposing new ideas, bugs, etc etc that you can use if you have an actual corporate account (strangely it requires creating a separate login and password). I have found that using this forum you can also get some decent support for weird issues or bugs or suggestions (sometimes from other users as well).
>>no, those are poor economic prescriptions that further entrench wealth in fewer hands to the detriment of the economy as a whole.

These are proven economic prescriptions that expedite the removal of costly encumberences to increasing the efficiency of the market and reducing rent extraction by the few.

>>investment will happen regardless. the money literally has nowhere else to go.

You don't seem to understand the point I'm making. Some percentage of income is invested. That represents investment inflow, that leads to capital formation. The percentage varies between countries and eras, based on factors like the average ROI rate, tax/regulatory stability, and security of property.

It stands to reason that more tax/regulatory stability would lead to a larger percentage of income being invested.

>>investors and politicians, on the other hand, like to say things like "investment will go away", but those are lies told to the susceptible to get pet policies enacted, not to reflect reality, better the economy, or improve the lives of ordinary citizens.

You're allowing conspiracy theories to overwhelm your thinking. Your certainty in bad faith motivating these arguments is causing you to not even comprehend the arguments before you reject them, as in the case of you not making the minimal effort to understand my point about a variable rate of investment that's dependent on multiple factors.

>>history books are literally chocked full of governments being overturned, and it's happened dozens of times in the past century.

There have been hundreds of states in existence at any one time for the last several millennia. Many instances of a type of event does not imply that this event is common. The fact is, relative to how many states exist, and how large of a time period most historical analyses cover, the number of successful revolutions by the lower classes is very few, and thus the event is rare in the context how likely it is that it will occur in any one country in a given era.
I think fewer gas stations is the intended outcome. I don't know anyone who would want to spend 15 minutes at a gas station let alone an hour. I just wonder if some chains have been preparing for this eventuality by slowly transforming themselves. I know Speedway has added cafes to some of their stores.
Any civilization that could build a megastructure, probably already built their own JWST hundreds or thousands of years ago, and by now has far more advanced technology for detecting other technological civilizations, and probably already knows about us.

Apple has always been 'vague' in their material about what you're getting, exactly. Often a lot of digging, and / or research needs to be done.

That’s a rather tasteless metaphor.

The establishment candidates aside from Biden did drop out to clear the lane, but that only created the same head-to-head matchup that Sanders had with Hillary Clinton in 2016. Which was probably motivated by seeing what happened to establishment Republicans in the 2016 primaries.
