For me it depends if I believe that the big bang repeats itself at some point. Time is irrelevant if you are dead. A bit like being woken up for school or work and believing you just fell asleep a moment ago. So in case the universe dies a heat death and some kind of fluctuation leads to a new big bang and the process repeats infinitely, you will at some point indeed live the same life again.

Long story short, you will again need to go to work or school and not even death can save you from that. A bit like it already feels in life too.

But if that were true a multiverse would just be another iteration of the existence of the universe with a different path. That they maybe don't happen concurrently isn't relevant, they are just out of phase. So I would guess that counts as a multiverse too, even if it isn't founded in physics, some string theory landscape or possibilities that were not realized.
Biblical eyewitness testimony also requires multiple witnesses:

> One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established.

Deuteronomy 19:15 KJV.
https://bible.com/bible/1/deu.19.15.KJV

Witnessing falsely was rightly a very big deal to them. It's one of the Ten Commandments, right up there with worshipping idols or committing murder. And according to the following verses of this passage, anyone who witnesses falsely will receive the exact same punishment that the accused would have received.
These are case studies, but if you want a longer (but still incomplete) list, there is https://wiki.haskell.org/Haskell_in_industry
Would to love to know this too. Would it fare well against a very interactive desktop-like web app that may not be built everywhere to be testable. We use selenium but it is always a trade off due to natural flakiness if web testing.

My other concern is I would want it to be open source and self hostable. That runs against being commercial though but serious companies will pay a licence for support. If not then a solid promise that the company phoenixes to open source if it shuts down, and allows closed source self hosting while open.
What a lovely recommendation. Thank you!
Yes (working with Scala, Python, JS/TS in the past), Rust hast the most stable and joyful and complete build environment with rustup, cargo, clippy, audit etc.
I hope Android ecosystem has good readermode-like app.

I have a 10 inch BOOX device and was using Instapaper. But it's buggy and fails paginated rendering a bit too often. vs. Pocket doesn't have any pagination mode.

Pagination is very nice to have especially for e-ink based devices where scroll UX isn't smooth.
Haskell is famous for it's quite an academic nature. But the ecosystem has drastically improved in recent years, so that that image is really outdated by now.

E.g. with Haskell Language Server we have nice autocompletion. Recently dot-notation has been added, so you can now write `someValue.someField` as in other languages. And the documentation is improving as well.

If you're doing web development, a good starting point is IHP (https://ihp.digitallyinduced.com/ https://github.com/digitallyinduced/ihp). IHP is Haskell's version of Laravel/Rails/Django. It's really a superpower to have Haskell's type system combined with the rapid development approach of Rails :) (Disclaimer: I'm founder of the company that makes IHP)
OCaml also has a built in function failwith: string -> ‘a, so you can print an error in those cases. If it’s a code path you ever think will execute, failwith “some error here” is probably better than assert false
Which are the platforms that let you own your data cryptographically and let you move your account around seamlessly for yourself and your followers? Basically the network should be in the data and the servers should be replaceable. I think those are very obvious bottlenecks that affect most of these alternative networks.

On the other side, censorship is also very important, nobody wants to have to dwell into spam and filth to read a small amount of valuable content. Maybe be able to choose your own censors somehow? Or build chains of trusts with your friends and "friends-of-friends" that can be revoked at any point?
Hare as a project seems to have a very sober, laser focus. I initially didn't get it, but this article made it click.
I appreciate that they are releasing their log book detailing the challenges faced.

That! Monkey Island was all about the atmosphere. It brought the caribbean to my living room.
But you can do the same with threads: pin them to a single cpu/scheduler and use a non-preemptive scheduling strategy.

At some point you realize that explicit continuation passing, threads, coroutines and async/await are all the same thing, and the only thing that async/await gives you is a static bound on your suspended stack size (by enforcing suspension of a single activation frame).
Or build fast reactors, which can use most of that waste for fuel. The long-term radioactivity comes from transuranics, which fast neutrons fission quite well.

What's left is just fission products. Encase them in glass and bury them, and they'll be back to the radioactivity of the original ore in 300 years. Most of the radioactivity will be gone in the first few decades, since the decline is exponential.

Russia has a couple fast reactors in operation right now, and various startups are attempting new designs.
And I get a blank page. Maybe because I block the trackers?
> Nuclear is a more expensive sources of energy than our alternatives

Not in the very long term. Upfront it's really expensive yeah.

>(uranium ore is a small proportion of the cost stack, and Australia would still need to import nuclear fuel)

A very small portion and isn't Australia a big exporter? Might as well set up refinement capabilities.

>with very high levels of variable renewable energy where they have to be economically curtailed on an almost daily basis (our coal plants are all closing for this reason)

I went to check gov sources and it still seems to be mainly fossil fuels tho renewables are growing.
What will be kept as backup for days with little production btw? Here our greens are pushing for gas.
What did the offer letter contain?
There‘s probably a subscription.
Keep your focus primarily on the business you're interested in owning part of. Devour their quarterly reports, learn their business. That's a lot more important than trying to be an expert in macro economics. You only have so much time, macro economics is not a prime value point of focus. Be an expert - to the extent an outside investor can be - in the business you're buying into.

Predicting what the Fed is going to do is relatively easy. Look at the US debt. It's trivial to know what the Fed can and can't do accordingly. They're bound tightly. Beyond that, who cares if the Fed hikes rates by a quarter point. These things are meaningless if you're a serious long-term investor. If you're a flipper, a short-term trader, sure then it matters, because you're looking to trade on waves of short-term sentiment.

The Fed can: talk a lot about how they plan to raise rates, to try to talk asset bubbles down or otherwise restrain them. They use this bullshit talking approach a lot. They start jabbering about how they plan to raise rates far ahead of when they actually do it. They leaned on that con heavily after the great recession and stretched it a long ways, and they're still relying on it. That's because they can talk a lot and can't take a lot of actual action. Somehow the morons on Wall Street still haven't figured this out, that clown show still thinks the Fed can hike rates consequentially.

The Fed can't: actually raise rates by very much, because it'll crash the economy, smash the big asset classes, and make the giant pile of US debt more expensive (which the US Government can't afford to do).

Inevitably by the time the Fed gets around to a modest actual hiking program, we're in or near another recession, and like magic rates go back to zero, they get their excuse to reverse course (something always happens eventually, something they can point to to stop the hiking process).

The Fed and rates are one of the easiest parts of the equation. You can know generally what they're going to do over the next few decades, because you know their constraints. And you can know what the outcome of their behavior will be (Japanification + more asset bubble cycles).

Yeah, but what about inflation? Increasingly huge mountains of debt (which, up to a point, act as a potent heat sink for robbing economic expansion and inflationary pressure) plus mediocre US and global growth will drain that problem given a relatively short amount of time. The US is facing Japanification, not persistent 1970s style traditional consumer inflation. We'll be back to hearing about how the Fed would like to spark higher levels of inflation (ie they'd like to debase more of the US debt away faster).

My favorite feature is that the app tries to remove tracking pixels. The ability to override the user in the from address is super nice too.

You can download the releases right from GitHub, too.

On top of all of that, the dev (Marcel) goes above and beyond to help solve issues you run into. Even if you haven't bought a license!

Ok interesting =), so I guess what you're saying is Rolemaster does create some interesting gameplay decisions, but Hackmaster is unplayable?

Is that fair?

Not sure what your position is on the other questions, if you've played a lot of either I mean.
Extremely mixed feelings on this one.

On one hand, it's awesome Wildbit was able to sell Postmark on their terms. To be able to build something, make money, and then walk away when you want is a huge accomplishment. Hats off to them.

On the other hand, the reason I always chose Postmark over Sendgrid, MailChimp, et cetera, even though they were much smaller, is because they seriously cared about their customers. Support is fantastic of course, but it was really the little things that made the experience great.

An example, they manually vetted each of their API consumers to ensure one bad apple doesn't spoil the bushel. It's probably not cost effective to gate customers like this, but in the end I don't have to worry about MY email not being delivered by one of the major providers because some other person used Postmark to send a spam campaign. Stuff like this happened all the time with Sendgrid and the only remediation I've ever seen was "upgrade to our $90/mo plan and manage it on your own."

Maybe ActiveCampaign will keep this level of quality and care (it is the same team after all), but I can't help but be a little cautious. I've been burned one too many times by an acquisition of a great product by a not-so-great company.
I use Emacs and also VSCode. Easy to set up.
I've made a pretty decent living for the last 20 years being locked into the Microsoft ecosystem. So guess it depends on what your goals are.
It's wild to me that two years later someone actually spent the time to write this article. The pandemic opened my eyes to just how unwilling the average person is to experience even the slightest amount of inconvenience in the face of an unknown threat.
QGIS is enormously valuable to those of us who need to do what I would non-authoritatively term "intermediate level geospatial analysis" in jobs that might not have geospatial analysis as part of the official job description, but don't have thousands of dollars available for the ludicrously expensive ArcGIS license.

It's an untestable hypothesis, thus unscientific, for the moment. Thus, we're all qualified to speculate, just as we are in matters of religion, politics, etc.

It's my personal belief that the multiverse makes great science fiction.

It's also my belief that it, along with "quantum woo" is used to hoodwink people.

Color me agnostic, at best.
Several of the original maps have some added topology on them, and I think a simplified hill shade could help pop the new ones in a similar manner. You can put it on with something like 90% transparency and get a bit of a pop to add more depth to it. I used to do this back when I still made paper maps, but it should work just as well in a totally digital format.

Edit: On the github readme the author addresses this some. General elevation data isn't in OSM, so it was deemed out of scope for this project.
Reading a battered old second-hand copy of "Calculus Made Easy" by Silvanus P Thompson as a teenager was the first step on a path that eventually lead to me getting a degree in mathematics. Until then, I always thought calculus and other higher-level maths topics were out of reach for someone like me, but the explanations in that book were so careful and encouraging that it made me realise that anyone could study these topics with just a bit of effort. I believe the latest edition of the book has been updated to replace the slightly handwavy description of "infinitesimals" with a more rigorous limit-based foundation, but I don't know if the book's magic was lost as a result.

As an undergraduate, I purchased a cheap Dover reprint of "Ordinary Differential Equations" by Tenenbaum and Pollard to supplement an ODE course I was taking, mostly because it had lots of exercises in it. However, I found that book hugely inspiring, and it's become one of my favourite maths books ever. Amongst other things, it essentially has a complete course in Newtonian physics in it, just tossed off in the examples! Highly recommended. I eventually went on to study ODEs and PDEs at Masters level, partly as a result of enjoying that book so much.
Digits.net
Yes, I can create on the spot a perfect law that address all the angless of fake misinformation, maybe you can contribute a suggestion like "all scientific papers will list the authors and who pays them, and discloses all conflict of interests and add giant fines for the authors and for the institutions behind the paper".

So we don't censor the papers, we force them to be even more transparent and make sure guilty people get punished, including maybe the individuals behind big companies( put Elon in prison if he signed of on some shity statistic that misleads people that his cars are 10x safer)
I wonder if correlation is the best measure. Cointegration might be more important for this sort of trading. And might be a supplementary measure you want to add since you’re doing all the pairwise comparisons. (If I recall there is a computational shortcut that helps)
Understanding Twitter Conversations: A Wordle Case Study
I don't have to read. Is it in anyway bespoke, then code, always.

Is a shared excel sheet OK? Then go with that.

For technical people doing side projects doing no code is a miserable experience. Put that effort into learning a framework, or learning your existing framework better.

The exception is no code sprinklings, like using IFTTT for some automations would make more sense. Or a google sheet for some static data maybe. Or Google calendar as a ical source. Stuff like that can be smart.

The dirty secret is when using a nocode tool you are actually coding with an obnoxious interface that made the first 5% easier and the next 95% harder to impossible and way more expensive and slow.

I may be wrong in the future, and I hope so!, but the tech isn’t there yet.
That’ll teach you for trusting a Google service!
Why Todo.txt?
I've never really loved contextual fear conditioning as the default for "memory". Another way of describing this result is that "even a mild trauma scars the entire brain."

In all seriousness, though, I'd say that there's a broad dispute in the field between those that believe that memory involves dynamic neural activity involving a multiplexed circuit of neurons that encode many different memories and those (currently led by the Tonegawa lab) that think that memories are associated with individual neurons.
> The logical endpoint of this argument is that no one can be convicted for genocide without DNA evidence, regardless of how many eyewitnesses saw that person executing people and can identify them on sight.

There are other forms of evidence that a genocide took place other than eyewitness testimony (orders, technical plans, the testimony of subordinates, physical evidence of mass killings). You would hope that a trial on crimes against humanity would have more than just eyewitness testimony.

> I find this unacceptable.

I also find it unacceptable for someone to be convinced based entirely on circumstantial evidence and eyewitness testimony, only to discover they were innocent decades later.

> [edit] There's something called a preponderance of evidence.

"Preponderance of the evidence" (meaning that it is more likely than not) is a lower bar than "beyond reasonable doubt" (which means what it says on the tin). What you described (having multiple corroborating witnesses) is actually not what preponderance of evidence means.
If they are to overturn something decided so long ago, it seems they might start flipping other decisions.
Well, they use gas for the primary cooling, but my understanding is that the gas heats water -> vapor turbine -> condense water -> repeat.
It is unclear to me how do you condense much water without cooling towers.. Normally lets say 40% of the thermal energy is transformed to electricity, and the rest is lost (needs to be cooled). So basically you still need to cool a lot of water, maybe 200MW worth of heated water.

But this is a conventional issue, a gas or coal generator has similar cooling requirements.
Pointers hell and static typing.... No chance to replace Clang. Only a C-like lang without pointers and type inference would lure programmers to replace C. Something less hostile to the developer.
Rust just crossed 10% in Firefox. Rust is steadily replacing C and C++ in Firefox, as it was designed to do.

Now add some dependencies, some required, some optional, for all platforms, or some specific to some platforms.

Then add configuration options for conditional compilation, and a build system to define them properly.

Then use the configuration options of your dependencies in your build system.

Finally, repeat this process for every project and make sure you use the same syntax/api for your build system so you don't have to relearn everything everytime.

cc main.c is as easy as it gets when you rewrite everything from scratch.

cargo is as easy as it gets when you want an ecosystem.
Why is that bad? it’s done

people deciding if they want excess holdings of Monero shouldnt base their confidence on a standing committee
That comment is definitely out of line and trolling, but the author's attitude towards safety and security is still incredibly bad. Two wrongs don't make a right. I'm dismayed to see more new languages copying the safety and security features of C (i.e. nothing).
>Our state with the highest share of renewable energy, South Australia, has not seen gas use increase as renewables have replaced coal.

But there is still plenty of coal production no?
Here Nuclear which is the vast majority of our production is being phased out due to political pressure. Our Greens push gas plants to cover the lowdays for renewables. Which variable production source is kept in mind in South Australia in the scenario where coal is pushed out all togheter? Is there a hydro dam or so?

Ask HN: Recommendation for high refresh rate, premium, non-gaming Monitor?
Ever since I own a MacBook Pro M1 Max, I have a hard time plugging it into an external monitor. I currently own a "basic" Dell 4k, 27" one, but both the colours and the high refresh rate from the MacBook spoiled me.

I tried to search for premium monitors with a high-refresh rate, but can only find gaming monitors. What is the HN crowd using? Anyone in the same boat as me and solved it for them?
There were WG21 papers arguing exactly to opposite of that, so eh.

One big (and IMHO the only) advantage of the async/await model is that the stack size can be bounded. But if you control the VM like in the Loom case, you can expand and shrink stacks as needed, so it is much less of an issue.

> And then I look at a lot of crap browser-based software (like MS Teams)

I actually prefer to run MS Teams in a browser tab instead of installing it to my computer. Same with Slack or Zoom. I'm not losing much since their core functionality relies on an internet connection. Full-blooded browsers are also more likely to stay up to date than the bundled Chromium build, and I can enjoy the peace of mind from a modern browser sandbox.
With the right controls it might be a better (more flexible) version of Vim's block selection mode. Which I use almost daily, it's super useful but depends on lines being vertically aligned, which multiple cursors don't need to care about.

But I don't see another purpose for them; find-replace with regex support and macros only fail in rare cases where actual syntax parsing is needed.
