Every species in existence right now has the same number of years of evolutionary history, right?

So on what basis are you saying it makes sense to say humans have had "more" evolution than chimpanzees? What does it mean for one species to have "undergone more evolution" than another, if both have the same amount of evolutionary history?

Just on the basis that you believe the result of that evolution for humans is an organism you consider more sophisticated? That is, I'd think, dependent on the assumption that evolution always leads in the direction you consider "more sophisticated", and, I guess, that it takes so much evolution to get so much sophictiation so something that is "more sophisticated" just must be "more evolved". That is also not true.

You can make a "metaphysical" value judgement that humans are more sophisticated, sure! I'm not trying to say that is inappropriate to do. But "evolved" is the wrong word for this, if you think it means the same thing we're talking about when we're talking about biological species evolution as formulated by Darwin etc.
Sure, hold accountable people that didn't choose where were they born and obviously weren't alive to witness the pattern you're trying to state right now.
Neat, maybe I’ll finally get started with emacs. (Also I love when my phone attempts to autocorrect it to eMacs)
It depends where you are in your career and what the industry at the time offers.

For requirement, use any kind of issue tracker and connect your commit with issues. Jira, people here hate it for various reason. But it get the job done. Otherwise GitHub issue would (there are problems with GitHub issues, e.g. cross repo issue tracking in a single place. That's another story)

For QA, you want your QA be part of the progress tracking and have it reflected in Jira/GitHub commit.

One thing I think is of equal importance, if not more, is how the code you delivered is used in the wild. Some sort of analytics.

Zoom out a bit, requirement is what you THINK the user want. QA is about whether your code CAN perform what you think the user want plus some safeguard. Analytics is how the user actually perform in real world

A bit off topic here, QA and analytics is really two side of the same coin. Yet people treat it as two different domains, two set of tools. On one hand, the requirement is verified manually through hand crafted test cases. On the other hand, production behavioural insight is not transformed into future dev/test cases effectively. It is still done manually, if any.

Think about how many time a user wander into a untested undefined interaction that escalated into a support ticket. I'm building a single tool to bridge the gap between product(requirement and production phase) and quality (testing)
Sorry I don’t see that answer in the linked article, which is about antitrust, not “hoarding wealth”. Since it’s been answered time and again could you just quote the part that answers my question?

I am asking about this passage:

> So no, we should want their greed exposed and not papered over by philanthropy so that the public eventually realizes that people accumulating and hoarding that much wealth is damaging to society and enact appropriate taxation schemes to claw back what they have stolen and prevent anyone else from ever doing it again.

It states explicitly that people are hoarding wealth and must be punished for it. For example, if your 401(k) is worth half a million dollars and your house is worth $1 million, a person living on $300 a month in a less privileged country might be forgiven for assuming that you should be punished for “hoarding“ wealth.

So I’m trying to understand what number hoarding starts at, and what the punishment should be.
If the CCPC has >50% resident Canadians as directors, how does that protect the buyer - what prevents the directors from deciding that the assets are to be used for their benefit instead of the foreign investor(s) funding the corp? Can the CPPC have different voting rights, or the ability to remove directors and undo prior actions?

But yes, this does look like a loophole through which one could easily drive a building...
Not me, but yes. Ads are the reason everything sucks. Adtech and its PPC / CTR have destroyed the world. Everything, in every media, is now clickbait.
This article also said

> The government will also impose higher taxes on people who sell their home within a year.

Why would they raise taxes on people who decide to sell? Raising taxes on sales will decrease the number of sellers. If the goal is to decrease the price of housing, they should want to increase the number of sellers (partly by reducing taxes on sales) to increase the supply of housing.

So backwards.
Isn't web 3.0 dead on arrival already?
@hn_throwaway_99 well yes, but for the purpose under consideration, a bubble bursting, implying the presence of industry-wide forces or conditions, you do need to consider things like who their customer and competitors are, conditions in their market, availability of financing, manufacturing costs...in all these ways I think Tesla is going to have a lot more in common with Ford or Volkswagen than Microsoft.

Pure software companies have some highly desirable attributes for investors, namely practically non-existent marginal costs, that have driven up their valuations. As a result, many companies that are not primarily in the business of selling software have tried to position themselves to investors as "tech companies".

Nothing against these companies, manufacturing, real estate, food delivery, vacations rentals, and taxi services are all perfectly fine business, but they're not in the software production industry, they're software consumers.
My use of the term objective was to try and describe the numbers and not the substance of what they were saying. I guess I could have said from a quantitative perspective vs a qualitative perspective? I wasn't alive 50 years ago, so I can't really be subjective.
Medium used to be popular for tech writers because it had nice, minimalist visuals, a ready made audience, and the domain gave posts a lot of credibility. But nothing is free, so they (from my perspective) pivoted to a paywalled publisher. I don't know if they pay fair rates to the authors from those that do pay for a subscription.
If you don't care for which components Appwrite uses, that means you bet on Appwrite being around forever?

>his positions[2] do not seem at odds with the gist of Chomsky's quote though

I would like to differ slightly. Chomsky has it that Eban wants to tar criticism of Israeli policy as antisemitic* - which leads to the 'oh well, they just accused Corbyn of antisemitism because of his Israel position' argument you see in the comments.

Eban wants to argue against a specific ideological position which at least is aimed at completely modifying the Israeli state (not 'policy criticism') and he has his argument for it - an argument we can safely say Israel has lost in the West. People may defend Israel, but they usually do not consider their opponent antisemitic per se.

* There's also the 'neurotic self-hatred' part, where Eban supposedly is naming Chomsky specifically, but I think we can safely discard that.
Good explanation of my overly terse note.
The current standard interrupt architecture imposes enormous latency and the synchronous timer could be more precise. The simplest implementation would just "fetch" jmp every N instructions (with N programmable) - just like voluntary switching but where the processor would volunteer the program.
Yes, you will have to package it if it's not already in nixpkgs.

The good news is once you learn how, it's basically trivial with crate2nix[0], which can autogenerate nix derivations from rust crates

Also imagine that because of that, you don't need to grow multiple bananas, you only to grow one and copy it many times.

As I understand it, when Substack first started it did a funny one: it paid some successful bloggers to jump ship to substack and convinced them of a secure and promising subscription-based income. My favorite example being Scott Alexander Siskind.

I have no concern about what medium the content I want is presented in (so long as they don't use low contrast or silly fonts), I will just go wherever I can find Scott. And Scott now happens to be in substack so I go to substack.

What's the point of this comment? You don't have to like or support the US or deny its atrocities to observe the atrocities currently being committed in Ukraine.

> Ukrainians who have nazi training camps for children (there is a whole documentary about them from The Guardian on YT).

I think it would behoove you to actually link to this. It's hard to tell from context whether you're claiming that the Ukrainian government is engaging in neo-Nazi education (this would be extraordinary) or whether some neo-Nazis in Ukraine are doing so (this would be upsetting, but not particularly surprising for Eastern Europe in general).

here is a table that compares YDB to postgress

I think they wanted to have a DB that is better tuned to distributed systems. Still don't know, why they do an SQL like query language called YQL (what would that mean in practical terms? Could a common ORM framework like JPA deal with the YQL query language ?)
Looking at the code noticed that is made as an ES Module but the minimum nodejs version is not present on the package.json I think adding the min node version will be great, some apps like serverless on aws don't support es (by default) so having it will make it easy for compatibility.
I've heard from my parents they would get fired from their non-government jobs too, if anti-war slogans were found on their social media. They also called me repeatedly asking not to participate in rallies, or they would "die of a heart attack". I used to organize those a few years back, and it sort of didn't end well.

High fat and carbs are not the issue, it's solely caloric intake that's the issue. Of course, anything in excess is bad, but it's the caloric surplus that is the major cause of chronic illness.
In a safety-critical industry, requirements tracking is very important. At my current employer, all of our software has to be developed and verified in accordance with DO-178 [0]. We have a dedicated systems engineering team who develop the system requirements from which we, the software development team, develop the software requirements; we have a dedicated software verification team (separate from the development team) who develop and execute the test suite for each project. We use Siemens's Polarion to track the links between requirements, code, and tests, and it's all done under the supervision of an in-house FAA Designated Engineering Representative. Boy is it all tedious, but there's a clear point to it and it catches all the bugs.

When British Columbia brought in its 15% Foreign Buyer tax (later raised further) it was at the end of a long campaign by activists to simply collect data on foreign buying.

The government shared this data as they were collecting it, and it was only a few weeks before they were so shocked by some of the buying trends that they brought in the tax. In certain municipalities, foreign buying was approaching 20%.

So all that experience has me wondering, why hasn't the Feds shared their data? Where is the troubling foreign buying trend?

The fact that they haven't done this makes me feel like maybe there is no foreign buying, that BC and Ontario's taxes have pretty much done the job, and that this is a disingenuous attempt to make it appear that they're doing something relevant around housing, while still fundamentally maintaining the status quo approach that has been ineffective for years and years.
> Are there any air superiority combat drones operational yet?

From what I have seen reported every major player is working on "loyal wingmen".

Autonomous drones that would fly along manned aircraft. That way you supposedly get the best of both worlds, the situational awareness and judgement of a human along the expendability of a drone.
Great idea and props for shipping.

There's something extremely wrong with your implementation as it just takes too much to render every page.

I've done plenty of work in the past with both canvas and pdf.js (which is what you're using) and it shouldn't be that slow, at all. Perhaps you have a rogue loop that's calling a very expensive function on each pixel of every page, maybe?

Who knows, but for sure performance on that could be near real-time.
Interesting, but you know what might even be better? If it could be done directly from emacs.

E.g. if you start with a brand new emacs then you could paste a line into scratch, eval it, and then these question would come up, you give answers and then an emacs file is generated, written, evalled and you get your configured emacs instantly.

But of course a web interface also has its advantages, it's prettier than barebones emacs,so it's more appealing to config there.
People are very bad at predicting true change in the fundamentals of how they live their lives and then dealing with the implications of that. We've been lulled into the myth of a steady-state economy by the post-WW2 Pax Americana. If that's your model, any rapid change is a "bubble" that's going to pop and return us to our original steady state, and real lasting change is consistently undervalued.

Here's a pop quiz with a counterintuitive answer: if Bitcoin succeeds at replacing the dollar as both the world reserve currency and the currency of choice for everyday transactions, what's its fair market value? Most optimists would divide total dollar supply ($21T) by total Bitcoin supply ($21M) and come out with $1M. But the true answer is infinite: if this scenario actually comes to pass, the dollar's value will trend to zero and the question will become meaningless, as you won't be able to trade your dollars for Bitcoin at any price.

So it is with tech: software is actively replacing many core industries, which sends their value to zero and the owners of their software replacements to effectively infinity.

I suspect similar dynamics are at play with prices in general and particularly asset & housing prices. Everybody's calling a bubble and thinking they'll buy stuff later when prices come down. That can happen in localized instances (like lumber last summer), but oftentimes those bubble bursts reverse themselves and end up driving higher. Lumber went up by 250% again in the second half of last year, just as tech company stocks have reached heights that were unimaginable in the dot-com boom. The overall price level in the economy isn't going down.
But if the bank requires a wet signature and you try to pass off a non-wet signature as a wet signature, isn't that fraud?
Sure it can, you just need the investment return part to come from the (rent - costs) and not from property price increases. If I have a property where the rent returns 8% after costs, I don't need the property value to increase to make that a good investment.

They followed the diets and measured intake -- the low sodium group was instructed to stay under 1,500mg/day -- they didn't quite get there but had substantially lower sodium intake as compared to the 'control'. The study group decreased median sodium intake by 27% compared to the 'control' group who decreased intake by 2%. There's always a issue of 'the human element' in studies like this where people lie and don't follow instructions but claim they did, but good study design and follow-through typically minimize those issues.

> Between baseline and 12 months, the median sodium intake decreased from 2286 mg/day (IQR 1653–3005) to 1658 mg/day (1301–2189) in the low sodium group and from 2119 mg/day (1673–2804) to 2073 mg/day (1541–2900) in the usual care group.
The argument is that this exists on a spectrum. The best way to get the artists true intention is to watch a film in a well-calibrated theater. Then a high-quality Blu-ray. Web streaming involves even more compromise.

We tolerate Netflix releasing films in less than 4k. They do that because of a practical business benefit (cost). Similarly, Universal is making a compromise in the artist's vision to meet a business requirement. I think if the compromise is sufficiently small and the business benefit is sufficiently large, it's ok to do this.
For a while, placards stating something like "In this house, we believe in science" were showing up all over the area I live in. It's very odd because concepts like faith and belief are inherently religious, and don't have any place in scientific inquiry. A notion like 'these are the fundamental truths of our religion, and to be a member of this religion, you must accept them without question' has no place in the scientific world. Any claim can be questioned, if one has the observational or experimental results to support alternative explanations.

I've seen this most often in the strident atheist crowd, many of whom appear to be refugees from strict religious upbringings. They haven't actually adopted the open-minded experimentalist approach that science relies on, but have merely switched their allegiance from 'faith in religion' to 'faith in science'.

This was all spectacularly on display when 'junk DNA' concepts were replaced by the now well-supported notion that there is no junk DNA, instead it plays important structural roles in the genome. The atheist argument that junk DNA proved evolution was a random flawed process (hence no 'intelligent design') had become an article of faith in that crowd, and they reacted to the new data rather like fundamentalists react to heresy.

Hey folks—I wrote the post! This was my biggest Postgres project to date, and it proved quite tricky since I didn't rehearse with a test database of the same size. I learned a bunch about Postgres, not least the incredibly powerful NOT VALID option for safely and quickly adding constraints.

>With the current plan, the city is going to be a city with super high density combined with ultra low density and very little in-between. In other words, it will be full of wonderful enclaves for the wealthy, and sardine-can housing for everyone else.

For ease of searching, this phenomenon is often called the "missing middle" problem. And it sucks, because as the already-high-density areas get more and more dense over time, it just reinforces the fear of density that people in the low-density neighborhoods have, because it confirms their prior belief that density means 50 story condo towers, and only 50 story condo towers.

Chicago is a wonderful counterexample to this - lots of neighborhoods are a mix of SFH, SFH with ADUs, MFH with 2, 3 or 4 units, and small 4 or 5 story apartment buildings, with nary a condo tower in sight.
I would counter that by the car companies that reach self driving are going to leave the others in the dust.

We see how hard it is to achieve self driving vs build a car. The market forces for self driving will be huge over any car manufacture no matter how good if they dont have this technology. Who wants to drive if you dont have to. What trucking companies want to pay for drivers when they dont have to.

Software will be a, even 'the', defining variable in the car industry soon enough.
We use an issue tracking system like Jira, Trello, Asana, etc and each "ticket" is a unique identifier followed by a brief description.
You can add all other sorts of labels, descriptions, etc to better map to the requirements you get.
Next, all git branches are named the exact same way as the corresponding ticket. Unit tests are created under the same branch. After getting PR'd in, the code and unit tests can always be matched up to the ticket and therefore the requirement.
For us, this system is good enough to replace the usual plethora of documentation the military requires. It does require strict following that can take extra time sometimes, but all devs on my team prefer it to writing more robust documentation.

Another useful tool to use in conjunction to the above is running code coverage on each branch to ensure you don't have new code coming in that is not covered by unit tests.
