There are historical reasons for the proliferation of the title- every city and town used to have their own bank or several. These were independent businesses, each one having a President and maybe a couple of Vice Presidents. When mergers and acquisitions happened and all these single branch banks got rolled up to mega corps they kept the nomenclature because that’s what people were used to- a manager at a bank branch was a Vice President because that’s what it always meant, but the title then got used for anyone at the same level.

I’ve also heard that at least at some point the title “vice president” carried some form of regulatory meaning and was the minimum level required for sign off on some pretty basic things, but I’m having trouble confirming that and it may be wrong.

I need it to be a challenge. It needs to be something interesting, and usually involving teaching myself something new. And I’m doing it just for the sake of learning, to improve my skill set. Most of that feeds back into my day job which is part developing my startup and part working tech for my key investor’s company. My curiosity and my desire to grow my business are the primary drivers to do the extracurriculars. I am sacrificing family time but I do take time with my wife and daughter. If it teaches my daughter about curiosity and developing a good work ethic, that’s a win IMO.
Maud is wonderful for small things like a stats page or dashboard.

But once you start getting to a few pages it's so much less cognitive overhead to separate concerns out into proper html files/templating.

It seems quite daunting to have a large project where all your html is inside rust files and a lot harder to find people who can work on it proficiently.
Terence Tao finished his PhD at age 21. So he both didn't publish major work before PhD, but did publish major work at a young age.
Most math PhDs including OP topic Lichtman would start after age 20 and finish at age 24-28.

So Lichtman might be on a similar trajectory as Tao, but not accelerated through formal schooling.

And since Lichtman's work is in elementary number theory (similar to combinatorics, one of Tao's main subjects), it's more accessible to early results from a brilliant person with less experience. Other subjects require more background study before reaching new territory.

People on this thread say that in recent years there has been a lot of pressure for math researchers to publish far more often partial / lower quality work to match the publication rate of other fields.

Of course “fake” GitHub accounts are a thing. Just like people pump up their resumes in general. What you’re describing may simply be people who heard that having a GitHub profile with some stuff on it was a good idea. So they uploaded a bunch of projects and got their friends to “like” them. At least I’d personally like to think that people who are actively out to “cheat” on their GitHub repos genuinely put a little more effort into it than that.

I’m not sure if it constitutes as a red flag, but you can always take a look to see if the repo “starring” goes both ways, or/and ask about it.

It's also to create gender equality in the work place. If there's only maternity leave then hiring a woman of childbearing age has a higher risk for an employer than hiring a man. This leads to discrimination in the workplace with women having lower salaries, less access to interesting projects etc.. because the thinking goes that she is likely to become pregnant and have maternity leave.

In countries where men have mandatory paternity leaves that are significant this imbalance is greatly reduced.
> Wouldn't it be better to design a protocol that doesn't have those concerns in the first place?

I'm referring to design concerns, not usage concerns. To minimize privacy concerns related to usage, you first have to add privacy as an additional design concern.

And privacy is a particularly difficult one because it means a lot of different things to different people. Can you reuse connections at all? What about content fingerprinting based on transfer rates - do you need to add cover traffic? Voice codecs, for example, will inadvertently reveal when the stream goes silent because they more or less stop transferring data. Instead of designing voice codecs to be less efficient, it probably makes more sense to optimize them to the maximum extent possible and then handle privacy concerns at a higher layer on an as-needed basis.

Separating design concerns to the extent reasonably possible tends to yield significantly less complex end results which has a whole host of benefits. A Swiss army knife often proves to be sub par in practice when compared to more specialized tools. Do one thing and do it well.

> A good design would be easy to implement without opening up users to security and privacy issues.

Simple designs are nearly always easier to implement. Compare the code base of OpenVPN to WireGuard for example. I think it's quite reasonable for a spec to accommodate implementations that want to make various optimizations that sacrifice user privacy. In cases where that's a concern implementations can omit such optimizations as necessary based on their specific usecase.
Reality for me is to look for a job like anyone else; apply, wait for a reply; go through 4 stages of interview; take home tests that take a ridiculous amount of time, not paid; and then, wait like everyone else, for feedback, if not ghosted.

> If users are going to use a validation tool to work with data, then they can also use a helper tool to generate data. And if the goal is to make it easier to build on top of data, import it, etc... allowing developers to do less work validating everything makes it easier for them to build things.

That's good thinking for cases where you have a single toolset, in which tools can be kept in sync to collaborate with one another.

But in an open distributed data platform, where several possibly incompatible toolsets will be used, forcing a type of validation on the data itself based on the expectation of one group of tools can make some other applications impossible. In these cases, making the data format simple will make it easier to developers to build new tools, and the difficulties of synchronizing different tools may be dealt with in a different layer.
>As the authenticator, your Apple device generates a unique public-private key pair for every account it creates on a service. The authenticator retains the private key and shares its public key with the server, known as the relying party.

Its about time something like this really took off. Hopefully it will get rid of dumb hacks like text message verification that a lot of companies use. Plus database leaks will no longer be a big deal since they can't really do anything with just a public key.

I’d love multi-user support on my iPhone. Or at the very least, multi-AppleID.

I have accounts in 2 countries.

Some apps are only available on one or the other. To install (and some times to upgrade, but not always), I need to switch accounts. When I do that, I lose all my locally downloaded music, podcasts, etc. When I switch back, usually some app doesn’t, like Messages, or even Music.

I usually only notice that says later, by which time I might have missed a lot of things. It’s also a pain trying to sign out and back into one of these apps, nothing is obvious.
I also have that MacBook Air, fully functional including battery. It has only been used occasionally and lasts for a couple of hours, but nothing has been replaced and it’s still my casual personal laptop (I use another machine for work). I was tempted to get the M1 pro MacBooks, but just can’t make myself replace this one - it’s been so good to me.
My desktop is a 2012 iMac that I got second hand in 2015. One RAM and spinny->SSD upgrade a few years after, and it's been going well since.

My personal laptop is a Dell XPS 13 that I think is now 10 years old and has never had an upgrade.

On both those, I don't keep any data for long before making sure it's backed up - I'm expecting a disk failure soon. Also the fan on the iMac makes audible spinny noises. But backups are good practice anyway, so that's a win.

I only just stopped using an external monitor that was so old it had a sticker on the front proudly boasting it had a HDMI port - fancy!

There are comments about investing in your tools here - and I think it's a balance. Yes, if you don't have the right tools your work will suffer. But the skills it takes to keep something running can themselves be valuable. And reducing e-waste is a good thing for many reasons, such as the climate crisis.

Away from computing, I just upgraded to a Canon mirrorless camera. A second hand shop had a body only model for way cheaper than it should be. I took a chance and got it, because I've seen their pricing go very weird on niche items before and I reckoned this was a similar case. (Most people looking for a camera from that shop would be after one with a lens - the seller should really have picked a different place to sell.) Turns out the sensor was filthy - but one cleaning kit later and it's doing fine.

Thanks, that summarizes what I was aiming for. An open platform will be more flexible and and allow for different use cases the fewer assumptions about how it should be used it includes.

No, apple, the company with the worst voice assistant (who does most of the work on-device for privacy reasons), must want to collect our (low motion single vantage point image) data for some nefarious reason.
Bryan makes a pretty good point in my opinion. And not even just about math, but education in general. For all of our technological advances, we seem woefully short of figuring out the best way to educate a human being, identifying their talents, and making the experience useful and enlightening.

And it does feel like there's a lot of labor and energy going into teaching subjects that for the most part, people never use again.

Some people argue that it teaches you the meta-skill of learning how to learn, but if that was true, you could literally just teach the meta-skill itself, instead of teaching it indirectly.

And in some ways I sort of get that at the end of the day, what you're really trying to do is predict the future; what skills will be relevant to which people and so you go with a shotgun approach and go deeper and broader than most people will need, just in case.

Maybe efficiency is overrated. Maybe it's better to waste time learning about things you may not necessarily use. But I do wonder what the opposite approach would look like.
> The courses that introduce big-O are often the weeder courses, they don't aim to education, they aim to flunk out the people that might be hard to teach so that CS departments can gate keep.

That is an often re-iterated conspiracy theory. In practice nothing could be further from the truth. Professors have nothing to gain from weeding out students. They have to gain by ensuring a certain standard. By the way it is also better for a student to encounter the difficult parts of their subject as early as possible, so that they can decide whether they have chosen their subject wisely. On the other hand, not failing students on fundamentals means complicating advanced subjects even further --- for everybody.

At some point in life students have to accept that neither their time in university nor their time in the industry will consist only of externally motivating tiny bites of tasks that are awesome. In order to understand complicated matters, you have to put in the work. Spending hours in the gym is also quite boring, but most people accepts that it is necessary for certain results.

I've been involved with undergrad teaching in a University. And the amount of time we spend on finding ways to teach and test better was way more than I could have expected as a student myself. On the other hand I couldn't have imagined the arrogance and sometimes stupidity of first year student claiming to know already what they will need in there career and what not.

> Yes but what if he did that to drown out his laptop fan?

Nonsense.

The "rule of thumb" is that you are at risk of hearing damage in an environment where you cannot talk comfortably at normal voice level with somebody at arms length away.

I have owned many laptops in my time (including Macbooks). I have frequently pushed them hard (e.g. compiling code) to the point where the fans run for extended periods of time.

Not once have I had difficulty conversing in a relaxed normal fashion with somebody with arms length or even further away in the room. I've never had to raise my voice.

Its simple, if you don't believe me, get a calibrated decibel meter and take a reading in a controlled manner in a controlled environment. Frankly I'm willing to bet you hard money that the measured sound level with the laptop fans running at full whack will not be anywhere near hearing damage level.

"Research is for prodigies" is extremely specific to (mostly pure) math and theoretical physics, where the results aren't practical so no one cares much about easy problems. Math students solve professor-made-problems for fun and games during school (IMO, Putnam), and rarely does anyone academically publishes the results. (Maybe one big book of 1+ years of problems).

In other more practical fields, less,-inspired research is useful, and also research is slower due to real world complexity and expense, not inherent intellectual difficulty. Like plowing through all possible chemical rejection looking for one that works, or fine tuning a radio in engineering, or a NN or a big program in CS, or running psych / sociology surveys.
That would be the only reason I can imagine.

Completely offtopic but I really like reddit's contest mode. It feels much more organic and conducive to actual conversations rather than the reinforced upvote seeking hivemind. It seems to be rarely used by moderators though.

Have often thought about writing a user script to at least collapse all replies on reddit and HN because some of the best stuff is in top level comments and on large threads there's not much actually being said in 100+ replies to the highest rated comment.
"I'm mostly fine with monopolies that exist because nobody can make a better product. It's scary, but there's not much to be done about it."

It could be that nobody can make a better product, because of their power. Buying power for parts, for startups, for marketing, lawyers.

That said, I'm not for regulating too much, they do indeed make a fine product. I have an iPhone, it's to closed for my tasted but it just really works well.
I think it's more about the ability to position the camera independently from the screen.

My favourite tip for low bandwidth connections (on Zoom at least) is the “stop incoming video” option which can be enabled in settings, and then turned on individually during a call from the view menu. It stops the streaming of everyone else’s video to you. Great if stuff is cutting out or screen shares aren’t updating well.

I wish Teams and Google Meet/Hangouts/whatever it’s called this week had this feature.

Ukraine is not a member of the EU, so I can't see why being an European country would make any difference. Furthermore, does the fact that Iraq is not an European country mean that we shouldn't care about things like girls being raped and tortured by US soldiers or entire innocent families killed for nothing?

Russia is not at war with the EU more than with the US, so I wouldn't expect our civil servants to behave like Stasi officials deciding which contents should we, the people, have access to or not.

> Nope. That's Saudi Aramco and that's actually a company which doesn't need advertisement. You HAVE to buy their product.

Corrected -- you're right I should have said they're one of the biggest companies in the world. Wiki has them @ #6 by revenue.

I'd disagree on HAVING to buy their product long term, but for now it's certainly true that most of the world runs on fossil fuels.

> I love how you just keep on sounding like an advertisement just before you repaet again that you are NOT an Apple-Fanboy :D

Well I'm glad the prose is advertisement quality! I was certainly growing in my praise, but I think they deserve it at least a little bit.

It's funny because I realize full well that they're android-ifying themselves a bit (customizable lock screens), but it's done in the typical apple way where I think most people will never run into a problem with it, and it will feel intuitive/look good.

> PS. in the IT tech world I live in, having an Apple device automatically leads to becoming a target for all kinds of jokes (which is why nobody has one) but maybe I just don't understand what "technologists" actually means.

sgmljs.net also bundles a markdown parser, a DTD for W3C HTML 5.2 (a really long string), SGML declaration support, loads of diagnostic messages, an URL parser, SGML LINK with pipelining and templating, implementations for a couple of (HyTime general arch) formal system identifiers such as for date and CSV parsing/formatting, plus a couple other things. It has essentially no external dependencies.

The XML subset of SGML is simpler (that's the entire point of it) but implementing DOCTYPEs with the subset of markup declarations supported by XML still will take you much more than "the remainder of a man-day" LOL. Yes unlike with SGML, you can use an off-the-shelf regexp lib to perform actual checking, but you still need to perform model admissibility/ambiguousness checking with halfway usable diagnostics, and require hundreds of test cases.

XML might be ok as a markup delivery format (that didn't make it on the web), but it absolutely doesn't begin to meet the bar of an authoring format. If it were, nobody would be using markdown, MediaWiki syntax, or other custom Wiki syntax, and your collection of helper apps and CMSs, template engines, and whatnot. All of which is included in SGML.
