In other words, there's a program in place to help people with high prices, that he has to pay into, but doesn't get anything from it, while still being affected by high prices, that he might not be able to afford.
We also have a crazy system where a graduate is a fool to pay back the education loans.
Why does it mean that? If I'm 50% sure an event will occur, but someone will offer me worse odds than that (I.e. better payout) why would I take 1:1 odds?
Well, it is the government that’s providing the help in the first place.

They just need to fix the qualifications at the margin, but that is often met with hostility from other voters for the misguided reason that people are just leeching off these programs, when the reality is exactly what is described, that the paperwork and punishment for extra earning is exactly what makes that happen, to the extents that it does.

For the record I absolutely don’t want the government handling everything, I’m just tired of hearing that everything the government does is disfunctional and everything private enterprise does is great and noble, cause it’s not true.
It's pretty shameful how macho people are being about leetcode.

Yeah, leetcode is "fun" when you're 23 and don't know better. It probably won't be at 33 when you're tired of all the bullshit.
Oh, this looks amazing! Thank you!!!
This is normal. Senior engineers are productive fairly quickly and can work independently without much or any oversight. Contrast that with junior engineers. They take longer to become productive and even worse require a lot of oversight and training/mentoring from your senior employees meaning that you're dragging down the productivity of your existing employees. Typically you need several senior hires per junior employee. Long-term you should have both, which is why bigger companies invest in training programs, where they hire new grads/bootcamp grads at specific time frames. As an industry we do need to work on how to make junior engineers effective faster.
1) I just downloaded the "The Mammographic Image Analysis Society database of digital mammograms" [0] and ran it against the tool [1] image by image. Results below, code here [2]:

true_pos 36
true_neg 207
false_pos 63
false_neg 16
total 322

2) How is it true when the site [1] says "We will not store your data on our server. Please don't worry about any privacy issues." when you can find all analyzed mammograms under the "static" directory?

I think we need some sort of Homer Simpson level whackiness that provides a gentle shock when your hands leave the wheel for a predetermined time, force pupil tracking to provide a gentle shock when no longer watching the road or checking mirrors for predetermined time. The shock would have to come from different places so you can't learn to avoid where it comes from when you want to deviate from task at hand.

There was a post here a while back where someone built a keyboard that would deliver shocks when it detected improper typing techniques. It wasn't enough to do anything other than make you really want to type well. It was funny that they went through with it, but that's the level of schtick I'm intending by gentle shock.
A few days ago I decided I would try to minimize content consumption (YouTube videos, forums..etc) and use that time to build small projects using cool tech like SQLite (among others like Next.js or Blitz.js + Vercel) as the base of the stack.

I just finished the first one: hodlbitcoin[0] – a simple website to visualize your Bitcoin holdings value over time. It is powered by an SQLite3 embedded database, WASM (WebAssembly) SQLite client, and one GitHub Action (every day at 00:00 UTC it runs to fetch the Bitcoin price and insert it into the SQLite database). The code is open source and the README contains more info of the technologies I used [1]

From the link, it sounds like GvR has expressed distaste for functional programming idioms like map/reduce, but not for list comprehensions.

At least it's not Go's "You gonna write a for loop or what?"
I am on the interview team for the company I work for and I wrote what some consider to be our canonical python solution (fastest and simplest) for one of the problems we use. I had to look up the syntax for a "for loop" because I hadn't written python since my first year at university. To me, being able to stitch together simple concepts present in almost all mainstream programming languages doesn't mean I know python, it means I know how dynamic programming works. I don't know the python ecosystem (history, present, or future), know the standard library, know what idiomatic code looks like, deeply understand what makes the language unique, have the mindset of a python programmer, etc. Maybe I just have a high threshold for feeling like I "know" a language.
Ask HN: Proposing an Alternative Decentralized Approach
I've been thinking recently about what happens to cryptocurrency if we move away from the dependence on private keys or the irreversibility of transactions.

My idea at this point is probably quite naive and I have a lot of reading to do to check out whether there's any merit in the approach I am thinking about which would involve n-factor authorization and a variant of a smart contact to handle disputes.

What would be the recommended way to write up a draft of an idea to get feedback. If the idea already exists in sufficient form, I would be glad to join an open source project.

The challenge is that there are so many projects out there and I am not clear the best way to find an open source project similar to the one I have in mind or to get feedback once I write my idea up.
Yeah this is so true, I’m experiencing this at my current org. Does anyone have advice on how to avoid these pitfalls?
> The healthcare company I work for requires everyone from the CEO down to low-grade button pushers like myself to work with actual patients a few days a year.

This is interesting. I assume you are in some IT or software role? If so, what is it that they actually trust you to do around patients? How do the "real" healthcare workers treat you?
Private companies SHOULD be able to choose who they do business with. They should also be subject to the rules everyone else is. As soon as they start getting preferential treatment through regulation, they should absolutely expect restrictions upon those rights as the cost of that preferential treatment. And of course, Section 230 provisions are absolutely preferential treatment.

You mean progressive rather than marginal, but yes.

You can give people cash. You also have to kill a lot of restrictive zoning laws, because new housing can't be built until they go away. You need to require new housing to pay for new infrastructure to support itself, and then you need to require old housing to pay for maintaining their infrastructure, too. You need to kill off local funding of education in favor of universal funding of education, because otherwise the poor kids get substandard schools and teachers.

You need to fund public transit, and it needs to be aimed at getting people not just from their homes to work and back, but also to schools and stores and entertainment.

Everything has to be automatically indexed to inflation, or else you get the same problem ten to twenty years later.
We should be more vocal about this messaging. It's gotten too far and we need to push back that colonisation is a part of life. If you are in a western country, you should not have to be indoctrinated and debased into caring about the cultures that lost.

I'm going to be that guy that shills his own stuff. I wrote Programming Bitcoin published by O'Reilly. It has specifics and exercises on all the building blocks that make up the Bitcoin blockchain. You'll learn Finite Fields, Elliptic Curves, ECDSA, Transactions and more. It'll be worth your time since it's a gentle introduction to a lot of cryptographic concepts.

I wouldn't waste time on Web3 or DeFi, though.
They have a long road ahead of them to shake off the association of being a haven for CSAM and alt-right holdouts.

I most recently saw that with some criticisms of Section 8 housing.

I'm paraphrasing but basically to be eligible for Section 8 housing you can't have too many assets. Good financial planning would say to scrimp and save so that you can get make a downpayment to get a mortgage but you'll be kicked out of the section 8 housing long before you've saved enough to get out yourself.

Catch-22
It’s amazing how people could see this happening, acknowledge it is wrong and severely dysfunctional, then go around insisting we add more means testing to benefits because it would be horrible if people got help who “didn’t deserve it”.

Just a hint, the people causing this dysfunctional state of affairs are probably not the ones who are trying to expand government benefits to cover as many people as possible.

That opinion rules out many strongly typed languages where booleans are strictly separate from other types, just as, in such languages, floats are separate from doubles, and any assignment of a value of type T1 to a variable of type T2, or passing a variable of type T3 to a function taking an argument of type T4 requires explicit conversion, even if that conversion could be lossless.

For example, in Swift

let f: Float = 1.0
let d: Double = f

is invalid code. You have to write

let f: Float = 1.0
let d: Double = Double(f)

In such languages, true is true, false is false, and all other values are neither true nor false.

I think that, certainly for booleans, that’s the sanest choice.

It's not much in the scheme of things to prove oneself right yes? I'm happy to have it all donated to charity which you can claim as tax deductible if that so pleases. Or are we not even talking about Tether anymore and just something else, something deeper that lurks within the unsettled anger of all these comments?
You mean pay them at all or pay more than minimum payments? I believe the latter but I don’t understand the former (maybe you’re talking about the covid deferments?).
> If that were to be sustainable you would have charge higher interest on the loans then you give to savings.

Which is exactly how protocols like Compound work, although 'governance tokens' are also issued simply for using the system.

Which? DeFi stands for Decentralized Finance, which pretty much means the rules are easily available - as long as you talk about a specific example, not spherical cows.
No. USDT undercollaterization is not my primary concern: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31451820

And I wasn't comparing in terms of returns. I just pointed out that there is no real use-case for USDT that can't be served by the other tokens, including yield-farming in liquidity pools.

> "Assistance" programs meant to prop people up with so many reporting requirements and perverse incentives that punish you for improving your situation...

It's a legitimately difficult problem, though. The interests and perspectives of the people who depend on these programs and the people who pay for them are often badly misaligned. On the one hand, you want to make it easy for the people who depend on these programs to improve their lot and achieve independence. On the other hand, the people who pay may be legitimately resentful when their money is going to strangers who don't in fact need it. It's a fine line to walk between those things, and the likely outcome is something that's biased towards one side or the other.
Your 30 cent gas discount is funded by all the people not owning cars. Which costs 500 million Euros more than the 9€ ticket by the way. Be grateful for that and stop huffing and puffing all over the comment section with snide comments on how the world is unfair to you.

It's not the fault of government per se, but puritanical conservatives in government who think any assistance to disadvantaged people is coddling lazy slackers.

See for example, drug testing of assistance recipients. It turns out, as the testing has proven, that most of the people who get a little bit of cash are most likely to use it on food and essentials. Oh, and the people who run the for-profit drug testing happen to be cronies of the politicians who advocated for the testing - such a surprise.

Another example: Don't let people withdraw all their money at once or they will waste it. Instead give them debit cards with a small withdrawal limit. Oh, and there's a withdrawal fee that eats into the meager cash ... and cronies of the politicians who advocated for the policy own the ATMs in the stores which collect those fees.

I can't answer for the parent, but I've done similar style interviews. Because the candidate is not familiar with your codebase, you must be the expert. Your job is to let them drive as much as possible, while you "unstick" them when they trip over what they can't possibly know. It is a collaboration, which is part of what makes this a good interview style IMO. Sometimes a candidate will offer an otherwise good solution, but it won't work well within your codebase -- in this case you explain why, and then you iterate.

> they don't leave you any way to leave their world to go get something from the real OS, or the bare metal, or wherever "outside" is.

Pretty sure the idea was and is to run Smalltalk on bare metal. Which you can absolutely do.

The more realistic problem is: what if you still need Firefox, or Office, or Photoshop? One solution is probably to run Windows and Smalltalk on a hypervisor. You still get low-level access from Smalltalk (hypervisor calls, hardware access, etc.) without giving up Windows (or Linux, etc.) apps and compatibility.

Running a web browser in a hypervisor is also probably a good idea for isolation reasons.

Another interesting idea is to run Smalltalk on the JVM (which itself was inspired by the Self and Smalltalk VMs.) You lose some low level access from Smalltalk but you gain interoperability with Java as well as portability.
Yup. People complain about freeloaders taking advantage of these systems so they demand policies like this.
YMMV. I studied zero hours for the SAT and did well. There are honestly no hard questions, just a lot of them in a short time.

I have studied at least a hundred hours for leetcode and I still have never passed an interview at a well paying company. Leetcode hards are legit hard.
Intel has working products, customers, shareholders, and fundamentally, accountability for that research spend. Results driven research funding is not unreasonable, unless you want to classify this research in the same vein as particle accelerators and a curiosity with no expectation of success (which is fine; just don’t sell as an energy silver bullet where there’s no evidence it can be delivered on). Hope is not a strategy nor a cost justification.
It also featured a little bit of trench warfare. I imagine the European observers who saw that were like "Huh, definitely not important, let's not come up with strategies to counter this sort of thing" and then forgot about it for the next 50 years or so.
> 6. There were tons of ironclads already in European fleets, there had just never been a fight between ironclads! Europeans watched the Monitor v. Merrimack battle & adapted their fleets & battle doctrines accordingly.

And the fight they got was comically irrelevant to the ironclads they had.

I'm sure they had lots of great arguments trying to pull anything applicable out of it and apply the lessons to their own fleets.
If you ever give ripgrep a go, stumble over something and are inclined to: please post a Discussion question[1]. "beginner" or "stupid" questions are welcome. If you can show me what you know works with grep, for example, and are curious about an equivalent rg command, that could be a good question. I might be able to give you some "fundamental" answers to it that let you reason about the tools more from first principles, but on your terms.

Of course, this is going to harm some people. Is it possible the number of people it helps is significantly larger than the number of people it harms? If it were so, would you not consider that a reasonable tradeoff?

A slight digression: I find in certain countries (cough cough US), everyone is free to give advice/opinion on anything, except for medical/legal matters, which are considered sacred and so no one is free to give any advice/opinion on those. I saw a person scolded by HR for literally saying "make sure you stay well hydrated". This is madness! Medical professionals should not have a monopoly on advice concerning hydration.
>And the reason this is dysfunctional is because the government doesn't go far enough in extending benefits. If there was more budget allocated to these benefits then we wouldn't have this problem.

This pov is exactly what I was describing. It's always "more money will fix it." More control, more money, and then things will be better. I promise. Compulsive gamblers have a term for this: "chasing losses"

>How would you solve this without the government?

The problem of people with disabilities needing help? Do you believe people never received help before the government came along? They were helped at a local level by charitable people who cared about each other and knew that taking care of each other was part of a healthy society. Neither business nor government replaces that.

this whole discussion reminds me of the [Speerhamland system in England](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speenhamland_system), which was supposed to guarantee everyone enough to eat, but because it made up the difference between the employer's pay and the speerhamland rate with government funds, it effectively created a maximum wage in the countryside.
