Thought it ethically made sense since early teens (a childhood friend was very into animal rights) but never made a serious effort, just went with my habits.

Then in my early twenties, I went to a 10-day vipassana meditation retreat. During that time, we were only served vegan food. Once coming back I just didn't start eating meat (including fish) again, and haven't since. It happened pretty naturally with basically 0 effort-energy spent. The urge was just gone. Did the basic nerding down on nutrition and all that and now it's >10y later. To be ethically consistent I'd be going vegan (save for eggs sourced locally where I have insights into the welfare) and perhaps an occasional oyster (they lack a central nervous system) but a combination of laziness and external/environmental factors make me "cheat" and have regular intake of non-ethical eggs, and dairy. Had some vegan periods in the past. I recognize it as hypocrisy but it's what it is for now.

At this point I avoid talking about it and my only real frustration is social: It's not very common where I currently live and basically almost every first meal with a new person becomes an inquiry in my diet and precisely what I do and don't eat, and how delicious this and that are and how they couldn't live without eating that and every other time they segue it into questioning my motivations. Usually I'd prefer to just enjoy the meal and avoid thinking way too much about the food industry and animal ethics - it's gotten old at this point. If anything I can be a living example of how yes, it's possible to have a sustainable decently healthy diet while enjoying food, but other than that I usually try not to bring up the topic unless someone is pushing me to try foie gras or something.

A quick note: I'm Melonking (The author of the article)

I'd just like to add, I see this as an artistic movement above all else. It's not about changing the world, and there is no goal here. It's not trying to solve any technical issues, nor is it about "defeating" social media or crypto stuff; and it's not about "succeeding" as a movement. The only goal is to exist, and we do! And if you want to join in, we're here and you're welcome, and we're so glad to see you!

I do agree there is a bias towards 90s themed sites in the article. It's a visual language that speaks to many people right now, but it's not exclusively part of the web revival. A web revival site is just about web design as play; where play is not about passing time but about creating other realities, so that we can become those realities.

The aim is not to be revisionist; it's not about remaking the past; it's about studying aspects of the past and mixing them with what we know today, in order to create something new.

There are many faces to the web; some are about rapid access to information, some are about commerce and business or data mining and technology etc etc; Web revival sites are just one face of that kaleidoscope; but its a face that is heavily under valued and under represented on the modern web.
Essentials of Metaheuristics. That was one of my first intros to optimisation and opened up my eyes to the field!
It's all a housing shortage^ really. If working doesn't get you anything and you still have to be completely dependent on someone then why bother?

There is not a shortage of workers. We have a huge surplus of unemployed young men, they just have no reason to work because the employers aren't offering them anything real.

^This is why I get mad at people that parrot the "deflation is bad because people hoard currency" line. The absolute value of inflation being large is bad because it causes people to stop socializing due to hording. If you have high inflation like we see here people hoard assets. If you can't trade your money for anything its worthless so why would you trade your time for that?
Does that "large inequality" apply to symbolics in french literature as well? Or the same "≤" (U+2264) is used as in english?
> The success of this basic research feeds back into society with substantially increased tax revenue and reputation to attract the best minds in the world.

I would love to see a source on that, particularly the tax revenue increase and return on investment.

I think it is wrong to fund so many researchers that contribute almost nothing to society with tax payers money. Why force minimum wage workers to give part of their income for academics to sit around and think about something that will probably have zero to no impact, while risking nothing. Let's face it, most academics accomplish nothing and have no impact whatsoever with their research. And I am saying this as an Econ researcher. I believe I contributed nothing to research in Economics while working in academia for 30 years. If I had any contribution whatsoever, it was either by teaching or by my consulting jobs.
Semantics. Some people consider Runes alphabetic and some do not because it does not follow the order of ABC. Some consider the prominent Semitic scripts, Arabic eg.، not alphabetic but Abjad because it has no vowels, although phoenician is usually considered the first alphabet. Alpha is Greek. So I can guess there's a sense of classicist classism
People will put up with almost anything for a price but they won't put up with eating shit while making shit wages. An executive assistant makes $100k+ to be a personal punching bag. And the main requirements for the job is be organized, be discrete, be willing to put up with a lot.
If they are all identical DNA, doesn't it make them exceptionally susceptible to something that finds a weak spot in that DNA? Will we hear about the world's largest organism wiped out in world's widest reaching wipeout?
Yes, it reinstalled itself in 22.04. As you say, in 20.04 it stayed gone.

I don't see it as an issue of just package formats. It is more of issue, that they want to go someplace and I may want to go someplace else, and the two places are not interchangeable. Snap has control-freaky design, making Canonical the sole controller of what goes through; kind of troll-on-a-bridge. I parse Shuttleworth's remarks of integrity of execution over time as we will force every device to version that we want, at time when we want, and only apps we want and it is something that even Apple didn't dare to do.

So I will rather install flathub repo and keep the option of installing additional ones, than to give Canonical this kind of power.
Nice project.

I can just barely hear that there's something wrong with his accent on the first 2 examples... But I'm not good enough to point out what it is. It sounds like he's slurring some of it or something. He definitely speaks more fluidly on the last one, too.

Thanks for that! I hadn't heard of Dogen before.
Ask HN: Oracle blocked my account, but I live and work in CZ. Is it just for me?
I am a Russian citizen, but I have a EU blue card and have been living and working in the Czech Republic since last year. I recently found out that my Oracle account has been suspended. I contacted Oracle support (profilehelp_ww at oracle.com) and provided them with my ID and CZ address upon request. However, the account was not unblocked and they stopped responding to my emails.

I'm a Oracle Certified Professional Java developer, but now I can't download my certificate from the Oracle site (certview).

I paid for Oracle training, I paid for the exam and now I can't confirm that I have the certification.
I think you mean adding more money without increasing demand is called inflation
I agree here, looking now it seems that I would need three pairs of hands to count how many times Actions have gone down every year. It feels like Actions itself is not ready for production use.

Also nice XKCD reference (https://xkcd.com/303/)!
Amazing what someone wanting to see "something" will see "something"... if anything , going through the pain of a CompSci degree and not giving up (more than half my class gave up in the first 2 years) is about the best proof you can get the person is interested in programming.

Self-taught people may also be truly talented and interested, but it may just well be that they studied for a few months and now claim to "know programming" exactly because they noticed the profession pays very well (I know someone exactly in that situation right now, and she's already looking for some other path after just 2 years in it as clearly she has zero aptitude).

I just set up khal recently with vdirsyncer too! But to read my Fastmail Calendar. I was a little surprised that the default khal config was not at all to my liking. Here's what I ended up with:

[calendars]
[[main]]
path = ~/caldav/xxx/

[default]
highlight_event_days = true

[highlight_days]
color = "dark green"
multiple = "dark red"

[view]
agenda_event_format={calendar-color}{cancelled}{start-end-time-style} {title}{repeat-symbol}{alarm-symbol}{description-separator}{reset}

[locale]
timeformat=%H:%M

I'd like a bit more colour diversity in the calendar, like different colours for birthdays. And maybe emoji markers (like for brithdays) in the view list.

This is literally part of the legendary origins of Roquefort cheese (the Roquefort Caves, which have a few more peculiarities like the “fleurines”, faults in the rock which provide ventilation to the caves, further improving temperature and humidity regulation and stability).
You can ship a portable shell script with your config files. Portable shell script is supported out-of-the-box everywhere where you have dotfiles. No extra installing necessary. Contrast this to binaries, which are not portable and need to be re-generated for every possible architecture and ABI.
Those problems exist under the current system too. Decriminalization is still a step forward because it undoes much of what makes prohibition bad, such as it moves use out into the open where it becomes less harmful. And it stops police from having a tool they can use to harass the people who they want to harass, and hopefully some day focus on real crimes

Money is a way of measuring how much economic power someone (or some legal entity) has accrued. If you have money, then you can get someone to do something for YOU. Whether the economy at large will benefit from it depends entirely on whether those with money spend it wisely. This tends to work out reasonably well so long as (monetary) wealth is relatively evenly-spread. But not always. And of course, money in contemporary society is not that evenly spread.
This analytical quip is well beyond cliche. That doesn't mean it isn't worth writing about, but well... these articles don't tend to try very hard.

The oil shock wasn't an oil shortage in the same sense. The potentially upcoming grain shortage won't be a shortage either. As long as markets are active, you can buy what you want at the price.

Ending the analysis here is silly. There are, very obviously, market conditions where prices spike, plummet, etc. Meanwhile, consumers of goods both overpay and under consume relative to pre-market rates.

For labour, the deeper story is the relationship between labour markets and the macroeconomy. The same reasons for "shock," "shortage" or more technical descriptions exist. Labour supply is inflexible: one worker has one person's labour to sell. They can't "ramp up" and overproduce because prices are high. There are some buffers, but these can be maxed out.

Under the economic norms/theories of the last generation or two, unemployment rates of 5-6% were considered optimal. Employment buffer stock keep shortages at bay, and prices stable. It was considered an anti inflation policy, and probably has worked.

TLDR, full employment is probably inflationary... at least in combination with currently conventional macroeconomic policies.
Now I do wonder about the history of the term.

The tendency is to call computational science software “codes”, but I’ve never heard a scientist call, ie a web browser, a code.

There’s a different connotation. Like how theres a different connotation between a program, an application, and and app. The are largely synonymous, but have slightly different uses.
Among the obviously mentally unwell homeless in coastal cities, I also notice more and more (seemingly) healthy young people also living in tents and vans. I guess at a certain point your quality of life working minimum wage isn't so much better than living on the streets.

Article needs a [2021] tag and isn’t of much benefit when read today since the pandemic was still in full force with significant uncertainty if people could even return to work or if “the next wave” was around the corner to lock us all back down.

This author briskly informs me that, no, there isn’t a labor shortage, I “just need to pay more” but later talks up the merits of unemployment benefits that are above the AVERAGE wages of hospitality and leisure jobs (he phrased it negatively/inversely). So yes there is a labor shortage because the government is paying people more money to not participate in employment, and has also restricted foreign work visas. There are good reasons for actions taken back in 2021, but there absolutely was (and continues to be) a shortage of people willing to do what they did the year before. That’s ok. But it is a shortage.

The article also mentions someone who left cooking to become a painter because he got tired of being laid off. I thought that was funny- ask painters in 2008 how things went. Thinking about it, cooking is a job that I pay for (as a customer/diner) in a single transaction. I receive a meal, I pay in cash or maybe 30 day finance and that transaction for effort is no longer fungible. It’s over and done. Painting and construction trades in general, on the other hand, are paid for based on 30 yr financing. It is MUCH easier to commit to pay my painter double what he made 2 yrs ago than my cook, because I get 30 yrs typical to figure out the ROI through the rising tides of inflation. As a diner, $25 is just too much for a breakfast plate consumed today and gone tomorrow, so my diner’s proprietor can’t raise menu prices, can’t automate away cooking, can’t afford staff. It’s an interesting conundrum that I don’t see a solution for, and makes me think that small diners in many markets just aren’t really feasible any more, along with many many other silos of customer expectation and business ventures that were reliant on low skill low wage labor.
I don’t think calling Erlang esoteric is fair. Niche, sure, but it powers multiple big services and well known enterprises
Yeah, I found the login requirement very confusing, and I definitely wasn't about to grant high-volume editing permission to an app I'd never heard of (WikiShootMe is the URL, but it's not mentioned on the page or in the HN article title, and HN clips off the subdomain).

I needed to go hunt down the documentation (available under the hamburger menu), which makes it clearer (eventually) that authorizing is only required if you want to upload pictures through the WikiShootMe app - so you could skip authorizing and upload through Wikidata/Wikimedia Commons instead.
Indeed, it is said that "life is the universe's way of looking back at itself."
Well said. Half the stuff on r/antiwork may be fiction, but it's fiction based on truth. Every story told there about unfair working conditions is true somewhere. There is a stunning documentary waiting to be made; identify about 20 stories on r/antiwork that are true, go investigate them and make a film about it.
> It's a pernicious myth that there is some meaningful democratic oversight over monetary policy

Latinate words are not a useful cover when you're lying. All Western central banks are effectively a branch of government and are directly responsible to Congress/euparl/$local_variant, and are run by a bunch of politicians (the chair of the Fed is Powell and the president of the ECB is Lagarde, ffs).

The notion that they aren't beholden to the popular will is just ridicolous.

Right. On a market with free pricing "shortages" manifests as raised prices. Which serve as a signal to increase supply, providing a self healing mechanism.

The type of shortages where buyers have to wait in line, are picked by lottery etc, only appear when prices are fixed.
For those saying "they're all over the world", it's not clear from the article but there's literally wind flowing from inside the mountain and that's flowing all year around at ~10°C, even during summer when it's 35C outside. I live in a valley nearby, but in Italy, we have them too. I'm not aware of similar places elsewhere, at least not at the scale we have them here (every little town has their own place where they found the cool air flowing out). Built centuries ago, they're still used to store wine by the old people in town. Sometimes I go there to cool down in summer. Very different from a cellar.
There is something like twice as many open positions in the USA as there are unemployed people.

I'm not sure how changing wages changes that; perhaps it just means a different set of jobs go unfilled.
Second that. Used to be in Evernote, but eventually just exported the Evernote, imported to Joplin and set up their web clipper extension in Chrome. Joplin stores notes as basically markup files, so sync is pretty trivial through any file syncing service / app in the universe.

>it is a response to another tech person. Maybe the general public would get some sympathy here, but this person had a vanity domain that they used for something important then let expire, and should know better

Fyi... the person in question (Emily Cordes) doesn't appear to be a techie. Her "About" page says: Emily is an Exercise Physiologist

She's a non-techie that happened to get a domain name. She let it expire without realizing the interconnected consequences (email address recovery) which seems realistic for non-techies to overlook.

Even a tech company like Microsoft with dedicated IT department made the news when they accidentally let their domains expire: passport.com, hotmail.co.uk

> The VDOM library will still need to manipulate the real DOM sooner or later, so the proposed performance boost of this abstraction is not relevant for browsers

VDOM is to DOM as Emacs buffer is to terminal display.

Updating the terminal display was historically slow, so there's an algorithm inside Emacs to take the buffer state, diff it against the previous state, and compile a list of terminal commands (escape sequences) that represent a minimal transition between the two states. Famously, it was marked with an ASCII art skull and crossbones in the comments of the source code.

The VDOM is there for the same reason: provide a fast way to minimize the cost of slow DOM transitions.
Animal torture (seeing trucks with bleeding pigs on the highway) and not liking meat very much anyway. These days I can add environmental concerns (I was a bit ignorant about that 20 years ago). I just quit cold turkey 20 years ago and I don't miss it. Sometimes I try it (only when travelling; we haven't cooked any in our home for 20 years) and then remember that it wasn't great in the first place; it is ok in an indian or thai curry but then I don't really see the benefit over vegetarian options either.

I like to cook and always have so I had never any issues making exciting food without meat. Most things we cook with we grow in our garden; we could stand a very long time without buying food if we would try which I find another advantage as for meat we would need a lot more land and effort than we have now.
yeah I agree. This is really the knowledge management tool
> it does not typecheck ... because variable A is used out of its scope when writing down the (5/4)*A expected value

But that's simply not true.

> variable A is tied to a specific random outcome and so it simply does not make sense to refer to it in an expected value ranging over this same outcome

No, it isn't. It is the value of the chosen envelope -- which is known. You can open the envelope and look inside.

> Trying to formalize the argument in a proof assistant makes the mistake clear and obvious.

Have you actually tried this?

Consider the following alternative scenario: I give you $20 and offer you the following wager: we will flip a fair coin. If it lands heads you lose $10, tails you win (an additional) $20. Would you take that wager? If so, how is that different from the envelope problem? (Note that the $20 grant is a no-op, all it does is serve to fix the amount of the payouts after the coin flip.)
This reminds me a lot of those companies that sell Bitcoin mining shares (though obviously way more environment friendly). I guess it makes sense, but if the thing makes money...why do you need my money?
