That's interesting to know, I was browsing RationalWiki the other day, for the first time in many years, and was surprised by how irrational it is. This would appear to explain it.
They do actually exist. Caltech has (had?) a group doing asynchronous microprocessors, which were most naturally expressed as channels between computation units. (They had a subset of CSP they called CHP -- communicating hardware processes that they used for a lot of the high-level designs).

As usual with nice things, the market didn't actually want it. Though Intel did buy a startup they spun out and used it mostly for switch fabric purposes.
Those stories aren’t irreconcilable. The US is huge and has a lot of specialists and I don’t doubt there are some cases where you can get better treatment in the US, especially if you’re rich.

The issue is we fail most people and those we don’t fail we often bankrupt. That isn’t acceptable.

Yes, it has always been biased and far from ideal (e.g. see @chernevik's comment about Walter Duranty). But I think it's getting worse.

I wish there was some metric like Oscar's viewership for Pulitzer, so we could chart the decline of their prestige in recent years.

The closest thing I can think of right now is Google n-grams: https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=Pulitzer&year_...
>This is the kind of thing people are pushing back against, there's just more to life than exploring identity issues. Not that they aren't somewhat important, but there are indeed other things to talk about.

The Pulitzer is an American award. To talk about American culture is to talk about race. Only it isn't that obvious when you're the one that's considered default. The rest of us don't get a choice.
Go structs are copied but not deeply; collections are inherently passed by reference and everything is mutable. Scala and Kotlin get immutability right and Java is getting there with unmodifiable collections and records.
I'm from the US born and raised, so I could talk at lengths about how the healthcare system here bankrupted my parents and nearly forced me into generational poverty. Or how poor the care is despite being under decent corporate healthcare. Or how misaligned the incentives are resulting in doctors suggesting nonsensical treatments like holistic care rather than actual treatment.

Most people don't encounter this stuff until it's too late, which is partially where all the praise comes from for the American healthcare system in my opinion.
I’ve seen people argue that the lack of complete unity on CA politics is the cause of all problems; e.g. the right is still to blame.
Some years ago when H.264 was new and uncommon, I thought about archiving tapes in XviD so I could share more easily with friends and family. I tested it and found that the quality vs x264 was much too bad. I begrudgingly went ahead with using x264 even if my friends and family wouldn’t be able to play it back as I didn’t want to save smudged videos.

Now extrapolate to today: today it sounds ridiculous to use XviD and even H.264. For ease of use I’d use x265-10 bit, for future proofing I would need to read up on av1. Think what it will look like in 10 years (2032) as you will have those files in 10 years for sure.
They can. But it breaks against the trend.
Kea v3.0 Pre-Release
I'm on NY State insurance rn while unemployed and it fucking owns. All the doctor's appts and procedures I've had the last year or so have been amazing, mostly through Langone, and the doctor's have been super thorough and attentive.

It's the highest number of (much needed) appts Ive had in the last 10 years combined and at 0 copay. Yes, taxes, but idgaf seeing as the private employer based insurance I had took a big chunk out of my checks, had to pay co-pays, and I had to pay out the ass for my prescriptions.

This is a huge win if passed for anyone in the state, regardless of income, seeing as it would be a huge safety net. The rug could pulled on anyone of any background tomorrow, yet they'd have their covered in the best way possible.

Fuck, I hope this goes through!
This “same topic” is: how people and groups of people feel about and relate to themselves and each-other. Which is so broad as to encompass basically anything having to do with people.
Good find! My Google-fu wasn't up to locating this no matter how many permutations I tried (I even started searching Usenet), and it was driving me up the wall.

Because the whole premise is completely idiotic, it's just designed to scam people into spending money on nothing.
Disagree. Consumers buy the products these companies make. There wouldn't be a market for the products if consumers didn't buy them.
I lived in the UK, Norway, Switzerland and US (NYC and Bay Area). Except Switzerland I did not really notice a big tax change for any of the others.

Sure in UK and Norway healthcare and University is free, but healthcare is provided by my employer in the states. So for me it is a wash.

But hey in the US I get to pay for the largest army on the planet.

What I would say is that in the US my taxes feel the most "unfair" since my tax rate is sort of the max. Richer people have ways of avoiding taxes and poorer people pay less tax.
It's the federal Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) that limits price discrimination based on age to 3×. A few states do compress that even further.

I just don't get bored. You have to have some goal. Not necessarily career or self development.

One of my recent goals was making better, simpler, cheaper food. I'd start with the best, most expensive version of a recipe. Then I see what I can remove. Does it work without garlic and onions? Can I substitute milk for cream? What happens if I replace this spaghetti with macaroni or those shell shaped pasta? How much quality can I get from just cheap cheese and butter?

Even walking has a lot of depth. On an evening walk with my kids, we discuss the trees we see along the way - why does this tree have these spiny leaves but the others don't? How did that plant get on top of that tree? Why are so many caterpillars on this plant but not that one?

Solo walking, I turn it into a mini sport, find the most effective way to walk. How do I propel myself faster? Can I keep my feet low to the ground and make longer strides to conserve energy? Even walking becomes a challenge like archery.
Don't hold your breath. You're 600 points away from 2020 pre-pandemic levels and the way everything is looking right now, you would be lucky if it doesn't bottom out lower.

You are ignoring the unreasonableness of making definitive claims, independent of relative influence.

If the chance of drought is increased 1%, can you still claim that every one of them is caused by climate change?

Ok great, but is there any way to click to see a high resolution image? The website design seems to prevent this.
The promise of "no code" has been around for as long as there has been... code.

But this article has it backwards IMHO; HTML owes its incredible success to the fact that it is made up of readable and easy to access code.

If web pages had been produced by super refined, magic and "intelligent" authoring tools that output closed binaries, then they would have gone the way of the CD-Rom. Remember Front Page? Or all the other tools that were supposedly capable of creating HTML but produced unmaintainable garbage full of CDATA sections.

The beauty of HTML is that anyone can understand it and tinker with it.

I'll admit that writing HTML sucks a little. But much less than trying to make a webpage using MS Word.
Is this because your employer is paying part of the cost for the plan?
The notional value of insurance isn't impossibly high and it would likely loosen up the job market if switching was not complicated by continuing coverage and the risk of not replacing a good benefit.
TerraUSD “stable” coin has lost its peg
Jacobin!
No-Code won't and can't replace coding 100%, but it'll take a huge chunk.

1. Websites

For instance, in the US most houses look the same, so having the same website isn't a big deal.

2. Apps

Most no-code apps also are a bunch templates, which non-developers will adapt even if it's sub-standard. Think of spreadsheets, to us (devs) non-devs make terrible ones. Yet, many businesses run in Word and Excel.

3. Custom Development

Enterprise software development is too expensive and slow. Starting with the specialized knowledge transfers. For instance, it's unreal that a graphic designer and/or a developer can learn the ins and outs of a business. And instead of accepting that, we just say "requirements change" so planning doesn't matter. Which is our license to avoid understanding what we are developing.

Therefore, many businesses are fed up of developers, so any hope of not dealing with devs is appealing, e.g. that's why ERPs cost so much upfront.

Now, they're fed up of ERPs as well. So no-code or low-code are appealing to domain-experts. They are smart and they're adapting canned solutions.
Dropped on the electorate? I distinctly remember major news outlets outright saying they weren't going to cover it and dismissed it as Russian propaganda right after the story came out. I also distinctly remember the insinuation that it was totally fake, somehow forged, or pure disinformation. By all accounts it should have been an October Surprise but it wasn't because it was starved of attention. Turns out, though, it was real and the contents on the drive have been reported on after the election - and even then not with the level of detail and urgency that one would expect of an unbiased media.
Render is more of the successor IMO. Fly is a bit of a wildcard — they are bleeding edge, certainly, but they seem to shy away from focusing on implementation of some of the “boring” but extremely useful features present in most managed services (e.g., scaling volumes for Postgres)
I had a friend live like a hermit for a year. He never spent money on anything he didn't absolutely need. To see him, you had to go to his place as he never went out. All of this was leading up to him taking a planned sabbatical and traveling through SE Asia. When he returned, because everthing was so much cheaper for him there, he had way more savings left than he anticipated. That afforded him the freedom to continue the sabbatical visiting as many national parks as he could. Eventually, he returned to the grind.

You just need to be disciplined.
Having it scale is fine imo as it fights against the overtime/overwork issue where since the health costs are constant it’s better to overpay and overwork one employee than to hire two.

Oil wells last more than 4 years. Most of these colleges have effectively no endowment and not close to enough state funding. Maybe leasing cars or code boot camps?

Yes, it appears so. Or maybe Front Page.
Formats aren’t patentable as such. The issue is that there is really only ever one procedure for decoding a complex format, and many of the steps / building blocks that go into that procedure might be patented by various entities.

This sounds a lot like ActorDB [1], which is a horizontally replicated and sharded SQLite.

With ActorDB, each shard (what it calls actors) is its own dedicated SQLite database (but efficiently colocated in the same block storage as all the others, so essentially a virtual database). The intention with the sharding is to allow data that logically belongs together to be stored and replicated together as a shard; for example, all of a single user's data. When you want to run an SQL query you tell it which shard to access (as part of the query), and it routes the request to the right server.

It has some pretty clever stuff to allow querying across multiple such "actors", so you can still get a complete view of all your data.

Sadly, I don't think it's maintained anymore. Last commit was in 2019.

Just to pile on... I've been a (neo)vim user for many years now. My init.vim (previously .vimrc) file is a constant work in progress. It has become a companion. A partner. I have more backups of this file than I do of my will.

Every time I (re)turn to a language or other text-based thing, I could very easily (and often do) get sucked into a tinker-thon trying to perfect my vim experience.

I've had to accept that I just have to use the IDE du jour (or de la majorite, more accurately) to get up and running. Though you bet I'll lose some evenings to getting a vim setup working.
It is amazing how much difficulty people made for themselves in creating random numbers. But people still do. I know somebody who, all in earnest, rolls physical dice to get entropy.

Back then, it would have sufficed to drive a counter from a megahertz oscillator, and take a sample of the low bits each time somebody pushed a button. They could even have collected samples while somebody typed unrelated text.

Nowadays, of course, everything has a camera on board, and you can just hash the collection of least-significant bits from any image snapped from the camera, regardless what it is pointing at. Or, the low bits off an audio sample, even with nothing plugged in.
I figured, but with the "Most HN comment" meme and Poe's law providing context, it can be hard to be sure someone isn't suggesting something a bit more... extreme. :)

How do you manage that? I get 31% taken straight from my paycheck (state + federal income, socsec, medicare, etc, and this is after 401k deduction) and then have sales tax and property tax on top.

> CSS is a full on programming language

I don't like this insistence on calling non programming languages like CSS/HTML programming languages. What we call programming languages are general programming languages. CSS and HTML are DSLs (In specific presentation and markup languages)

People push back against this criticism because they think it comes from elitism, but the fact is that they're valuable because they're not programming languages, and in the web they're as important as programming languages, so it's not that. Not all computer languages are programming languages, and a DSL doesn't suddenly become a GPL because it's complex.

But if property taxes go up you'd still be paying the same rent. I don't see how it makes sense to say you're paying property taxes when they have next to zero effect on your cost of living.
I’d argue that persistence also includes data portability. It’s very handy to be able to just copy your data around in a SQLite file. That’s not really a feature that’s terribly useful in a remote deployed application, but very handy if you have multiple applications all reading the same data.
States wouldn't be able to borrow on anything like that scale to fund a healthcare program. Any major increases in healthcare spending would have to be funded by huge tax increases.

COVID relief was not an economic stimulus program. It was intended specifically to ease economic pain and displacement, not to stimulate an economy experiencing slack demand.
Yes! The article goes so far as saying "Spoiler: nothing fancy has happened since CSS-X-Fire which itself hasn't been ported anywhere" which is a bit of a head scratcher.

This has actually been studied, and is not true.

In fairness, flash used to be a thing, and it was probably 80% of the way there. There's also a fair bit of accidental complexity in CSS. (e.g. position: relative and overflow: hidden having weird-if-youre-not-used-to-them side effects)

Landlords are price takers. Supply is fixed short/medium run so just charge the maximum people will pay. Property tax rates have next to 0 effect on that.
Agreed. In fact I detest Markdown, and use a subset of HTML for all of my notes. It's much more syntactically consistent and easier to read. I know <b> means bold and I don't have to memorize how many asterisks correspond to bold vs. italic vs. underline.

It's also so much easier to just slap a stylesheet on .html files and they can be opened up as-is, beautifully presented, in a web browser, without any need of a rendering step.
If push comes to shove do you think Western US states will let people in population centers run out of water before they would take steps like eminent domain (no idea if this would apply as-is or if it would require new legislation, legal battles, etc) to seize (with compensation) those other water rights?
Yes, for sure. I’m not sure what causes Quebec to be so much higher. Our health care system has struggled immensely with the pandemic even with so much funding.

We may have a stronger government programs than most (subsidized parental leave, subsided childcare, subsidized French language media, etc), but almost none of them give any benefit to me.

Part of the difficulty to me is our high rates seem to kick in very early. A lot of other regions also have very high top tax brackets, but very few places are starting their top tax brackets at 100k/y income.
Looks like the official NHS policy is that you get a checkup every five years if aged 40 to 74. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/nhs-health-check/nhs-health-ch...

I'm not a doctor but that doesn't seem often enough for an older person. I'm an American in my 30's and I just had a checkup, and my doctor told me to come back every two years. Of course the American system is pretty awful in its own ways, especially for those who are uninsured.

AFAICT the article presents no evidence that it's the Day Trader Army taking the hit right now.

It could be the Army sold to more serious and/or institutional investors near the top who were chasing returns of their own.

What's been happening for some time is a desperate search for investment returns of any kind. When treasury yields dried up in 2020-1, money piled into stocks, fueled by government transfers such as the PPP giveaway and stimmie checks.

Those programs are long gone, as is a lot (most?) of the money.

At some point, long term yields will stop rising, and the juicy capital gains to be had as the inevitable return to earth commences will beckon to those who have been burned by stocks to try treasuries, fueling sector rotation and more stock declines.

Along the way the occasional explosive stock rally will captivate everyone's attention - for a while. By the time the dust settles, nobody will care about stocks and you'll get blank stares when you say that's what you just invested in.
Some of Jim Browning and Mark Robers antics seems grossly irresponsible and illegal.

I don't see how expanding coverage will have any bearing on the quality of care givers. It's going to be the exact same doctors and nurses, just compensated from a different source.
