Minimalism is good if it means not adding unneeded features or not adding things that don't go well together.

Otherwise, it's not a great idea. Basic is a very minimalist language but good luck trying to do anything complex.

Rust might be unnecessary complex and that is the other side of the coin.

Actually a dirigible fixture could probably reduce the weight on the wheels by an order of magnitude for (relatively) little cost. Assuming little maintenance for the dirigible fixture and reduced maintenance for the smaller drivetrain, this might actually make financial sense. But it would require a hanger for parking.
“Unknown Quantity: A Real and Imaginary History of Algebra”

This is a great history of algebra. Math comes alive for me when I know more about how things come to be, the problems people we’re working on, etc.
This resonates with me, but sadly not with modern culture that is so hell-bent on both optimization and PUSH PUSH PUSH! all the time. It's ridiculous.
My impression is that most Muslims don’t real care about Muslims from other ethnic groups. Pakistan and Bangladesh, for example, are happy to suck up to China for the business opportunities. Similarly, the gulf states took few Syrian refugees during the recent crises: https://www.lejournalinternational.fr/Syrian-refugees-why-wo.... More generally, Arabs regard non-Arab Muslims as barely human—e.g. holding Bangladeshis and Pakistanis in near slavery conditions: https://sports.yahoo.com/qatar-world-cup-unpaid-workers-slav...
I think another big advantage would be battery life. Firefox drains my laptops battery, and even though safari is more efficient, it's still really bad for battery life if you have a bunch of tabs open.

Something like this would help with that a lot because you just need a lightweight terminal.
This points towards the general principle that allostasis (stability through variation) > homeostasis (stability through constancy) in health and fitness.

For a healthy person throwing metabolism off the steady-state by altering training regimen, eating, etc. can improve the ability of the body to regulate itself. If health is compromised it can be the opposite, so it's not a rule without lots of exceptions.

You're right, but unfortunately that's not the world we live in. Those text based browsers don't work for a lot of websites.
Very cool.

Have you considered bundling support for tinyweb protocols like Gemini and Gopher? Those will work with full fidelity over the kinds of connections you’re focused on, and the core Browsh features allow you to jump from Gopherspace/ Geminispace to www without leaving the terminal.

Maybe the smart way to do this is to add Browsh as an optional dependency to a terminal-based Gemini client… the proxy architecture would add overhead if you run the whole thing locally though. I can see preferring to have a SSH connection from the client to a master proxy node that handles all protocols.

Dr M. Kleppmann receives Fellowship from Volkswagen for Local-first software
So you're suggesting that the US, since it's guilty of human rights violations, should just be silent when it sees others countries commit human rights violations?

I think that's absurd.

There isn't a country on this planet who hasn't committed some human rights violation in its past.

By your logic, nobody should ever call out human rights violations...ever.

A far better approach is to judge a country by its actions in totality. Yes the US commits human rights violations, but it also has courts where victims can seek restitution, a free press to talk about such violations, free elections where voters can choose leaders who work against human rights violations.

To compare the US and China and say "well they're both guilty of the same sins" is, frankly, bizarre.

I wonder if you have any self-awareness about the toxicity of making a presumptuous and insulting comment about me, someone you don't know, based only on an article I wrote about toxicity...
Or maybe you are just that uncaring about the impact you may have on someone's day? I can take valid criticism and have read the critique on here with genuine interest. However, I don't believe this comment about 'the writer' is necessary.

I loved Morrowind, but I do still lament the loss of the 'Elite as fantasy' feel for the first two Elder Scrolls games. As much as they were sparsely populated and low on story, those felt more like truly Open World games to me (I was happy running errands and clothes shopping for the most part). Morrowind was a bit of a shock to the system when I first played it. It was very well done, but many orders of magnitude smaller than Arena and Daggerfall. I can't really make a strong case that it wasn't a better game (and I enjoyed Skyrim too), but I hope we're not far off returning to procedural worlds with a new eye, especially now AI is on the verge of being a core part of asset workflows.
I disagree with all of these recommendations about studying analysis.

tl;dr: Study a less careful subject where you can more easily develop a useful intuition. Abstract algebra and linear algebra both fit in that category.

(What follows is a caricature.) I tell people that analysis was born in the 19th century when Weierstrauss killed intutition as a tool for understanding calculus. Analysis might teach you what is "really true" but unless you are going to be some kind of professional I would HIGHLY recommend developing an intuition and understanding of things based on what should be true. It's a terrible thing to learn that what "should be" true is not, and for a long time that doesn't help you make progress.
In my experience the constant outrage over Palestine is driven more by hatred of Israel than concern about Palestinians. Antisemitism is universal in the Muslim world,[1] not so with anti-Sino sentiment. Note that the wealthy Arab states surrounding Palestine aren’t leaping to admit refugees from Palestine.

[1] I think my home country of Bangladesh is thousands of miles away from any significant population of Jews. Yet the casual antisemitism is off the charts.

EDIT: Got some anonymous hate mail from a BDS saying “the tide is turning” and threatening me for my support of the “apartheid state Israel.” Sorry for exposing the things folks say “just between us.”

As some other comments touch on, what this could be framed as is "Ruinous Empathy", which is what Kim Scott calls it in Radical Candor: https://www.radicalcandor.com/radical-candor-not-brutal-hone....

The crux of it is that it's more useful to give someone a harsh truth that will help them grow (in a tactful way, while conveying that you care about them personally) rather than trying to be nice but ultimately not helping them course correct.
> Like is it really grooming for a 50 year old and a 29 year old to date? Doesn't this imply women of all ages are easily-influenceable and vulnerable?

This is less about age and more about the difference in power. He was the fancy successful guy at top, she the small nobody at bottom. The grooming is more about him abusing his position of power to prey on someone whose weakness does not come from their personality.

> It almost sounds like old fashioned misogyny.

This is actually not so far off from the younger generations toxic woke-culture. It's quite disturbing how some of them have twisted the fight against discrimination onto a foundation of sexism and racism, calling it justice and such. We will see how this will unfold, but I fear for the next 10-20 years it will only become worse.
LaTeX needs replacing with something faster and more program-y, and that isn't just a python script.

LateX's successor should be opinionated, safe, easy to build in parallel, and also good at integrating with other tooling:

Let a CAS generate the next equation for you, for example.

Make sure that figure is never out of date (e.g. a build system rather than relying on a web of files and button clicks)

Etc.

This will likely never happen because latex is still very good at what people want it to do push comes to shove, but we could have a much better document format and publishing system around it.

The poster I responded to asserted some utter nonsense about a serious issue. I provided a source refuting those claims. That is what is worth discussing. The reality is that there isn't enough opioid treatment access. Whether this is true in SF specifically, I didn't find a source confirming or the opposite.

Your claim that tents aren't being removed isn't true either.

https://www.sfexaminer.com/findings/tent-dwellings-are-down-...

It's plausible that enforcement in SF is lighter than what is efficient (prison overcrowding will do that), but the claim that it isn't happening is, again, false.
Lots of hand waving that "physics doesn't tell the full story of what's going on" without acute, specific, and accurate examples. The examples he gives are of ancient times (when "color", "sound" couldn't be explained.) Those examples are very clearly and perfectly described by modern physics.

What is the actual argument? I think this author simply felt like writing something, and when they didn't have anything to say, they went ahead and wrote the article anyway.
Thank you for the suggestions. I am curious, do you think there is a way to normalise estimations in the industry? What I typically see happen is the following:

1) I charge $2k and need 5 days to do a Stripe integration
2) You need 1 day and charge $1k

Many factors are at play, for instance availability and experience I presume. Would it be beneficial for us to go to a crowsourced chart and lookup the average integration time for Stripe based on 100's of votes? It seems to be quite open information in other engineering faculties.
The Dangers of Haskell's Ratio Type
How, exactly?

I know it seems simple to short Tether, but in practice there doesn't seem to be a safe way to do it such that if the value plummets to almost zero (and takes much of the crypto ecosystem with it, including some exchanges) you could actually guarantee you'd get paid in US dollars at the end of it all without a long lockup period.

You could do something like buy Coinbase puts or something, but there is so much volatility baked in already, and there is no guarantee that (say) Coinbase actually falls if Tether does.

If you can think of a pure Tether short that still will work if trading is halted and exchanges fail, I'd love to hear about it.
More money allows me to help more people. The ability to make more money was a tremendous leverage during the pandemic when there were a lot of people in need. I wouldn't have been able to help were I not in a position to help.

This allows me to launch people into projects so that they become independent, cast a safety net for people so they get a better job, pay momentarily for rent so people don't fall in a vicious circle, buy gear for someone to launch something, pay for legal fees so that an 18 year old kid doesn't get their life ruined just because they had a lousy lawyer, pay for medical exams, pay for a travel to get to a job interview, help people in the arts when there were no gigs, put a new entry on someone's IMDB, help people fix their cars because they'd be out of a job and they're flying on gas, or pay for training. Word gets out, you help even more people. You get organized and run it like a payroll plus one offs.

I deploy most of what I have, then I don't have enough, and this drives me to make more.

It has always scaled to my means, from the time I was a kid with more lunch money helping one friend to now making it possible for more people to have a better life, so I don't think I never will be in a position of having enough. I'll always be greedy.
Things that I would love to see in WordPress:

* Slim the core as much as possible. 80-20 Rule applies here. A default WP setup installs 80% of unnecessary stuff for a simple blog or website; get rid of them or make them composer packages so I can install them separately upon need.
* A wizard-like mechanism to let me choose the type of the website or app I would like to setup initially.
- is it a blog?
- is it a traditional website?
- is it an ecommerce?
- is it a landing page?
- what database would you like to use? SQLite, PostgreSQL, MS SQL Server, MySQL / MariaDB?
- Monolith, microservices, or hybrid?
* Headless by default so users can choose the front-end of their choice.
* Full-Site Editing should become optional or even a plugin like it already exists. It's the #1 reason people and developers have had enough with WP and decided to look for alternatives; I'm one of them.
I don't think this is what he's referring to — there are vast areas in NM, AZ, NV that do not have cell coverage. Even when you apply all service levels (even 3G) across all cell providers, using carrier provided data (which tend to be overly optimistic), even then you can see giant no-cell-service zones on the map.
I agree that it's a pretty shaky extrapolation they're making here, just trying to explain the reasoning.

What is LuaLaTeX?
I have a related feeling about TeX. It has superb output quality but the programming is awful. When LuaTeX finally arrived a few years ago, it was possible to do almost everything you have done before in the TeX language (starting with \backslashes) in Lua.

See http://wiki.luatex.org/index.php/TeX_without_TeX for an introduction.

I have (shameless plug) created a database publishing software using this technique (https://github.com/speedata/publisher/). Once in a while I have to use LaTeX and it feels a bit old school to do the macro programming.

My next project is to rewrite the TeX algorithms in Go - see https://github.com/speedata/boxesandglue. Already usable but not TeX like in any way (this is just a library, not a frontend software like TeX)
IMHO schema support should be part of the initial release. https://json-schema.org/ being an afterthought to the original JSON was a mistake.

It's a general believe now that woman struggle more because of permanent discrimination from society, and they deserve more support because of this. This is a complicated topic, but certain people simplify it, leading to these results.

You sometimes see people ask fairly simple Python questions on Stack Overflow, that could be solved by five lines of plain Python, and be answered with some Pandas magic incantation that happens to do what they want with one call. I always find this a bit sad, because it seems to take away the idea that programming is about assembling composable parts, replacing it by a search for the right magic thing from a box of ready-made magic things.

(Plain)TeX always seems the opposite of this. There is never a keyword that does what you want, but you can always do it by using five different mechanisms in concert. You always feel like you are trying to trick the system into doing something it was not designed for.

This has nothing to do with search. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31490603. And that's not actually how we make our results either -- our results are actually made anonymously from a variety of sources. In particular, when people search, we believe they’re really looking for answers, as opposed to just links. For many categories of searches (restaurants, lyrics, weather, etc.), there is usually a specialized search engine (e.g., Tripadvisor), content site (e.g., Musixmatch), or dedicated source (e.g., DarkSky) that does a better job of actually answering searches than a general search engine can with just links. Our long-term goal has been for over a decade to get you Instant Answers from these best sources.

Most of our search result pages now feature one or more Instant Answers. To deliver Instant Answers on specific topics, DuckDuckGo leverages many sources, including specialized sources like Sportradar and crowd-sourced sites like Wikipedia. We also maintain our own crawler (DuckDuckBot) and many indexes to support our results. Of course, we have more traditional links in our search results too, which we do largely source from Bing, but that's just part of the page. Our focus is synthesizing all these sources to create a superior search experience, and there is a lot of technology behind it. For example, local searches appear on most mobile searches, and none of that is coming from Bing.

Nonsense.

Yes, at the very earliest part of the pandemic, we had no data. We had to prepare for the worst.

Very quickly, we started to see the relative impact of different measures taken in different jurisdictions, we learned about the relative impact of the disease on different age groups and populations, and we started having tools and strategies for detecting, tracing, and inhibiting the disease.

These became the priors that informed (or should have informed) the evolving decision-making process for disease response. But instead, in many cases, we saw a ton of inertia on many fronts, due to fear, political face-saving / ass-covering, or willful ignorance.

That’s the part I take issue with. It wasn’t “the” right decision, it was “an” early and uninformed decision, followed by many opportunities for additional, more informed, better decisions.
