> This is the very definition of a shallow dismissal

Short and succinct is not the same as shallow.

> You are trying to insinuate that people who believe crypto is bad technology and bad for society, are doing the equivalent of arguing that the web is bad technology and bad for society.

I’m not insinuating anything, I’m explicitly saying that is the case.

> 1) the arguments against crypto are specific to crypto

“Crypto” is so broad, there’s no such thing as an argument specific to crypto. Are you saying all crypto-related data structures, protocols, and algorithms are de-facto bad for society (and thereby anything that stems from them)?

If so, that argument sounds blatantly absurd to me. And if not, then your argument is so non-specific it’s meaningless.
I still don't quite understand how the technique saves code size versus C++ templates, although I am quite eager to understand it since template instantiation is a thorn in my side when writing code for a microcontroller with 32KB of code space.

Is the idea that the struct contains pointers to always_inline functions, and that the compiler has visibility into this at the top of the always_inline call stack, so the always_inline gets monomorphized even through multiple layers of pointer indirection? If I'm understanding it right, that's a pretty nice technique. Would this allow you to mark a "class" (or individual members of that class) as "hot, please monomorphize" by making it always_inline, or "cold, please use regular pointers" by omitting always_inline?

C++ templates would force you to monomorphize every variant, or use vtables (function pointers) for every variant, without the ability to choose the approach for each subclass. The compiler is also spectacularly bad at recognizing deduplication opportunities between template specializations.
Your post is not putting forward any argument about Plausability or Probability, you are just saying that the theory is not falsifiable / we will never fins out, like argument about God.

The argument about probability goes something like this: there is only one real universe, where an advanced species like us would evolve. Eventually we would create multiple simulations. If advanced specicies evolves in a simulation, they create their own simulation.

Therefore there is only one real universe, but many simulations, so chances are we are in a simulation. It also could explain why we are alone in the universe.

Holographic theory suggest that the whole universe coupd be a hologram around a 4D black hole or something, so also appears to hint in this direction
In many cultures and languages the term sport/exercise are used interchangeably.
This product is targeted at people who want rooftop solar, presumably because of the environmental benefits, but don't have a good location for rooftop solar.

If this is appealing to you, you might also want to check into your power company's offerings. It may be possible to buy carbon-neutral power directly for a relatively small fee. This is what I do, and it costs about $10-12 per month.

(Buying "carbon-neutral power" means that the power company guarantees that the combined usage of everyone on such a plan is less than combined carbon-neutral power generation. It incentives power company investment in carbon-neutral sources.)

Moisture content changes to equilibrium with environment. The rate at which this happens is dependent on how well sealed it is, but as there is permeability, and time, it will happen ;)

The only exception is if the wood is transformed in a way that does not enable it to absorb water (or as much of it), such as petrification, etc.
SEEKING WORK - Netherlands - Remote-only

I'm a full-stack engineer looking for contract work*.

I'm most experienced in PHP/Laravel and Javascript/Typescript/React, but am pretty tech-fluid. I'm also comfortable building (and consuming) both RESTful and GraphQL APIs.

Previously, I worked at Etsy (three years) and Trello (five years, both pre- and post-Atlassian acquisition).

Recent client projects include a Next.js site backed by a WordPress/GraphQL API and an MVP for a video recording and annotation app build with Laravel.

In my spare time, I build projects for a non-profit called the Vegan Hacktivists. My biggest project there would be https://veganlinguists.org, which I've written 100% of the code for.

My ideal project would be solo-shipping an MVP in the span of 2-4 weeks depending on the complexity, but I'm also open to working on longer projects with other developers as well.

email: grardb@gmail.com

* To be clear, I am not looking to be a full-time employee who is paid as a freelancer. Rather, I'm looking to work on specific projects for a predetermined amount of time.
My understanding is that, apart from high profile involvement in certain projects (like LLVM), Apple engineers generally contribute “as individuals” without much to indicate they’re working for Apple. I could be wrong, but that’s how I’ve heard it.
GUIs are much harder than a bit of system programming and console outputs.

Sounds like you're describing towns or small cities. And now that people can work remotely, that may be more viable, since we're no longer forced to migrate to tech hubs for competitive salaries. Maybe cramming in to huge cities will become a thing of the past.
Really interesting.

My wife and I are about to go from ~70k yearly income to ~250k yearly income.

I have done a ton of planning for how our lifestyle will change and new expenses (buying a house, having kids). 250k is an insane amount to me, but as I am doing the math for our monthly income and expenses, it does go quickly if you are not careful.

Wish there were more resources on navigating this kind of income jump. Anyone know any?
Or else you have to find someone else. Good luck. :-)
Just wanted to add... C# being strongly typed language, some times can be a pain.
Just spent an hour trying to parse a JSON String; changing its parts and again de-serializing it... working with JObject, JToken, etc..so on; Though i'm just getting familiar with it.
From the study:

> School districts that choose to mandate masks are likely to be systematically different from those that do not in multiple, often unobserved, ways.

From my purely anecdotal observations, regions with higher rates of COVID are more likely to adopt masking requirements as a countermeasure. That correlation alone would explain why the benefits of masking become unclear when measured on a large scale.
Yeah, the article kicks in with an inflation angle but I don't buy it. Last year I moved to Orange County, their example of a paradigmatically expensive area, and the real estate certainly is pricey, but not out of reach for anyone with a quarter-mil in yearly income. But I've never seen so many Teslas, Lamborghinis, and Porsches on the road in my life. Not a mystery where the money is going.
If you're using ArgoCD or something then sure, but bear in mind the original statement you made was directed at someone who is new to K8s, and given a command that can be executed from their shell, they would likely assume that's what you meant.
Does your definition of a drug include alcohol, nicotine and caffeine? If you hate anyone who consumes any kind of mind-altering substance, for any reason, in any circumstance, and regardless of the impact on their life, then that list includes most of the human population which doesn't seem productive.

According to the LendingClub survey, 61% are living paycheck-to-paycheck, though that is not the same as "pretending to be rich when they are not" since many of them have much lower incomes than the $250k figure that the article focuses on.

Where are you getting the figure that 2/3 of Americans pretend to be rich (when they are not)?

Zero trolling: Did you ever consider relocation? Nothing radical: How about Norway, Denmark, or Finland? I've heard there is lots of language overlap with Norway and Denmark. And Finland has lots of respect for Swedish speakers given their special minority status (Hello Linus Torvalds!). Maybe the taxes might not be a /lot/ lower, but the social issues might be /different/. Another good point about those three nations: They are all close to home, if you need/want to visit relatives often (in a low carbon manner!).

If you want something radical, I would recommend:

(1) Australia -- very rich (they avoided the 2008 global financial crisis), much less fair than Sweden (but not stupidly so like US/HK/SG), and crazy high quality of life.

(2) New Zealand -- still rich, more fair than AUS, and insanely good nature / food.
The last one is great for field initializers where you can't use var.
Yeah that seems like it's getting into pathological territory.
The home I live in is viewed as a consumption instead of investment to me. I would try to really limit my expense on buying the primary residency home, and if there are $ left, invest them.
> I'm having this problem, but I've put it down to having small children, the chronic lack of sleep and the rarely having more than 1 hour time in a week where it's quiet and I can focus.

Evidence of testosterone supplementation improving cognitive performance is weak despite many studies.

Evidence of sleep associated with cognitive performance is extensive and well documented.

The (not that helpful in the moment) good news is that kids get older and will eventually sleep more and more independently.

My most common use case is to make something fit into a certain file size. It usually takes a few tries with 2 pass encoding to get an audio bitrate/downmix, video bitrate, framerate and resizing to find one I like. It would be great to automate that.

This Nature piece is basically describing me. I was a tenured associate professor who left for several reasons, but one big one was a dramatic change in the university and department's culture, especially in their administrative and management values.

It's somewhat validating to see this phenomenon get attention in an outlet like Nature, but likely too little too late.

I did interview at a university in the UK before I left -- one well known to HN is my guess. My impression from discussions there is that the UK and EU has been insulated from many of the trends in the US, but at least in the UK, there has been a shift to adopting some US practices. There are rational reasons for this but my impression was that it was already creating some of the same problems as in the US. In general, my impression is that the US and UK academic sectors are starting to resemble one another much more than was the case historically.

I've gone back and forth about whether or not leaving was the right decision. For a long time I didn't regret it at all, but now I often wonder if staying was the right choice despite all the problems. It's become distant enough in time I now have difficulty remembering everything though, so it's easy to remember certain feelings and thoughts more than others.

The US university system is often held up as one of civilization's great achievements. However, to me the system is fundamentally broken. I often can't discern if that's just my sour grapes opinion, or if the US university system is somehow riding the coattails of previous decades. I'm partially saying this cathartically, but partly because I worry about the rest of the world seeing the current US academic system as something to emulate, as opposed to what it was 50 years ago.

Everything you're saying is exactly right on the money in my opinion, though. Especially about marketisation. The problem with marketisation as applied to academics, I think, is that it mistakes short-term market metrics with long-term real value.

My sense in discussing things with colleagues is that a lot of this is location-specific. That is, there are enormous pressures in academics right now, and a lot of someone's experience depends on having an environment that is supportive and constructive. If you end up someplace fundamentally dysfunctional or abusive, it's decimating to your ability to function. Conversely, if you end up someplace where there are at least some reasonable individuals at the helm, with checks and balances, and an environment of looking to help each other succeed, a lot of the problems can be mitigated. I think that could be said of almost any vocation, but in academics it's especially important because there's so few degrees of freedom.
I'm in my mid-30s. Single, no kids. I noticed I've lost a lot of motivation and mental sharpness during the pandemic.

It isn't a covid "brain fog;" I got it too recently for that.

I think I got a lot out of working in the office. I don't have many friends, so I got a lot of my social interactions there. I'm single, so I didn't fall back to the married couple thing, and I'm old enough that I didn't want to spend the pandemic with my parents, and I'm not close enough with them for that, anyway. I suspect it's loneliness and depression, but I'm not sure what to do about it.
But in the larger sample size, the incidence of COVID was just as high, if not sometimes higher, amongst masked children. I found this surprising, but if true, parents and grandparents aren’t really being protected by kids being masked at school.
Google's Inclusive Style Guide, and the Paradox of Inclusivity
I'm familiar with the idea - but the biggest challenge with UBI is not that it's inherently a bad idea (as you note, it effectively adds a negative intercept to the marginal system), rather that it is unlikely to replace welfare systems in a lasting fashion. There are two problems:

1. UBI would be too expensive if it were to replace welfare. You can't just keep the total welfare spending of $1.16T [0] and smear it across the whole population, since that would significantly reduce the support of families receiving welfare today (since you'd be distributing the benefit _universally_). If you wanted to keep the average payout to welfare recipients the same, you would need to dole out $65,200 (the average welfare benefit) to each of the 122 million households in America, balooning UBI spending to nearly $8T, over 1/3 of US GDP.

But even that wouldn't be enough, since many families depend on even more welfare benefits, since all we did was pay out the average. Suppose you paid out the 80th percentile instead (for sake of argument, assume that's $90,000), now your welfare bill is $11T, or half of GDP. Needless to say, you'd need a lot of taxes to pay for this, and the US would shoot up to the highest-taxed nation on earth.

2. Even this wouldn't be enough: the same social forces that push to expand and grow the welfare bureaucracy today would continue to exist, and I would expect them to cause the reintroduction of welfare even if abolished under the introduction of UBI. Families receiving direct financial support under UBI could (and would) starve, suffer costly medical expenses, and otherwise need additional support, and thus create demand for welfare afresh.

One of the things I did early in my career was live as frugally as possible and dump all extra $$$ I could into quickly getting rid of my student loans, car payments, etc.

Talking to a lot of peers over the years, I've realized that most people carry around insanely high levels of debt and grow accustomed to spending multiple thousands of dollars per month on debt servicing. It's crazy how much of a difference it can make to get rid of those and free up all that cashflow.

Obviously, this isn't doable without an income buffer, but if you are able to cut down expenses for a while and aggressively pay down debt: it was one of the best decisions I made early in life.
A large part of this study consists of a review of data from a prior study. That study is here:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8486393/

It may be helpful to read them both together. As the authors emphasize, the statistical analysis of these phenomena is quite difficult, but one thing that stuck out to me: there is practically no correlation with population density, before or after controlling for the community vulnerability index.
Every good musician brings a pencil to rehearsal.

In Stanford Symphonic Chorus, Steve Sano began every new piece giving us a set of pencil marks to make in our scores. Nearly always, for a phrase that ends with a quarter note, we'd be told to replace that with an eighth note and an eighth rest. This is his choice, not the composer's.
That's mostly because the bar for entry is very low and the bid goes either 1) guaranteed company because of congressional lobbying or 2) the company bidding the lowest price who has even a -bit- of a change to complete it rather than companies with proven track records to produce at scale.

No, 2 of the apartments I lived in there had central AC and heating, one had a beautiful kitchen island and skylight, the cheaper units were 3-5 bedroom units though.
