> I do not think that is what they mean. A man page looks the same to the end user no matter what tools are used to produce it.

And you can look to ripgrep to learn how to produce one! And in particular, how to do it without duplicating docs.

In any case, my point is that maybe there is a more expansive viewpoint here that makes sense instead of honing down on to something hyper specific.

> It's nothing missing, it's just different for no clear reason, and that means remembering different syntaxes depending on which tool I am using at the moment.

Right, so you want a POSIX compatible tool because POSIX is what you're used to and you don't want to use any other interface. Which is fine. Keep using the old stuff. I don't see any good reason to exactly imitate POSIX when I can go build something that I think is better without being constrained by POSIX. For example, I think just having \b is better than having both \< and \>.

> I just think it was a bad example.

I don't. There's a lot that tools like ripgrep and fd do that the old tools don't do that turn it into its own niche. Like enabling "smart" filtering by default and other things that many consider to be quality of life improvements. So if you're in that niche, then looking to those tools for what they do is a good idea.
I moved into a very old house about 25 years and there was a distinct shortage of light/outlet switches. I got a bunch of X10 gear which I used for a while. Over time most of the electrical was redone so I mostly didn't have a need for it any longer. (I still have one set of lights in the bedroom that don't have a switch but I switched that out to an Alexa-controlled plug a few years ago.

> A deeply and clearly thought out argument for why immutable blockchains and code as law are terrible ideas, yet the conclusion is that crypto-anarchist technologies are a net good.

I think there's an important distinction between things like bitcoin and the technologies described in the article. The technologies mentioned in the article all take some sort of action without ongoing human input.

Things like bitcoin (and other crypto-anarchist technologies), on the other hand, preserve human agency. I mean, there's a lot of automation on the mining side of bitcoin, but the currency side allows trades to be initiated by human beings. Bitcoin preserves human agency so well that people using it to commit crimes is one of the arguments against it.

Now, you could argue that what I'm describing is a bad thing, or that the tradeoffs are unfavorable, or what have you. And there are several reasonable arguments in this area. But I think the distinction between technology that responds to human input and does work for us and technology that runs autonomously and makes its own decisions based on rules set up at a prior date is important here.

Thanks for saying that. But the lesson for me, or anyone making points like this, is that you can never be too explicit. Intricate constructions are dangerous on the internet. I like them but I have to admit they function something like a trap that readers can fall into. It's tempting to blame them for not understanding, but it's really on me. At the very least I should have put a warning label at the bottom.
Nothing in that article contradicts anything I said, you've missed some nuance.

The BLS data shows that wages have kept pace with inflation.

The Census Bureau data shows that the price per square foot of the average American home has remained the same since the 1970s.

The spread is that the average new American home now has twice the square footage per person. [1] Of course in major metros, supply constraints keep prices high (and the gap between supply and demand is so large it would take something truly catastrophic to close the gap - SF barely had a 2008, for instance). Outside metros, houses have gotten enormous. In both places, families are smaller.

I'm just saying, I don't see a housing bubble looking at price alone.

This should be easy to answer: we are not smarter in the recent decades (the opposite is likely true due to the leaded petrol). The natural selection for smartness is too weak in humans (it does not take much brain to reproduce nowadays).

The paper is written by Amazon. Of course they're going to present it as a benefit to the end user.

But I'm personally sure that "keeping visibility on a device the user doesn't want to be connected" is also a goal. I could be wrong but Amazon is just as focused on data collection everywhere as Google.

Perhaps Amazon simply doesn't understand some of us want all our devices to not be connected to their hive all the time. But I'm sure the reason they want this is for their benefit, not ours.

Well I too am a hiring manager. We get a lot of resume's but most are eliminated for just plain not being a good match to the job description.

In our case we have a fast moving project and so need people with specific skill sets. So having the right skill set has much greater weight than a CV gap.

TBF I would want to know what happened if you are just coming back into the market after a year or more, but if you have one gap is a year or so back and you've been working since, I don't see how that is a problem. I'd be more worried about someone who had no gap but never held a job down for more than 6 months.

Its true that if you are hiring a bunch of common roles you need to filter the CVs somehow.

I have used modern editors. For the most part they are amazing. That being said, I always end up returning to the same old open source editor. Much of the reason can be attributed to one quality: it has been around for as long as I have been alive and it will likely be around long after I am gone. This means that I am continually building upon prior skills, rather than tossing them out the window each time a new fad comes along or a vendor goes out of business. Incidentally, this is also why I don't see the payoff from commercial editors as being easily quantifiable. They may do a rather good job at reducing the learning curve, but they cannot eliminate it.

Articles like this help scale mathematical knowledge to run on a greater number of minds, so helpful, and thank you to the OP! While practical skills and competence are the necessary conditions for understanding maths that can only come from practicing and doing, we also need a bigger funnel of people with intuition and curiosity so as to move more people through the pipeline of curiosity, to competence, to mastery, to innovation. I hope as a culture we start to encourage more treatments of difficult topics like this article.

> People, and children especially, who spend more time doing physical exercise and outdoor play have lower rates of myopia,[30][29][31][32][33] suggesting the increased magnitude and complexity of the visual stimuli encountered during these types of activities decrease myopic progression. There is preliminary evidence that the protective effect of outdoor activities on the development of myopia is due, at least in part, to the effect of long hours of exposure to daylight on the production and the release of retinal dopamine.

That sounds like a fair bit of support to me.
The different usage of words and their meanings in English is interesting and makes me think this weird miscommunication is why we have so many arguments.

> But have you considered the Russian war technique of Maskirovka and military feints?

From what information I was able to absorb about the start of the campaign, I think that Putin indeed was planning to take Kiev and Kharkiv in less than a week, and then suppress the riots there using riot police - as evidenced by him bringing in riot police troops equipped to disperse unarmed mobs, not to fight am army.

Regarding Putin's objectives, they were (I think, intentionally) very vague - 'denazify Ukraine' and 'secure Donbass'. So, for example, you can bomb a kindergarten and call it a day: Ukraine is now 'sufficiently denazified', Donbass is secure, and we can safely go home. With such goals, Putin can stop the war at any day and his propaganda corps will present any state of affairs as 'the greatest victory since WW2'.

Have you ever been in places where locking your bike is perceived as a slight sign of disrespect? It is for a good reason; you have basically just labeled all people there as possible thieves.

I am not arguing that we metaphorically and literally need to do away with locks right now, but that we can and should apply effort in the direction that makes them obsolete as preventative measures. I want to live in a place where I do not need them.

The existence of trustless systems does not make distrust mandatory, it is such systems becoming mandatory that bothers me, as well as the effort spent into developing more and more robust trustless systems—as opposed to trying to make those very systems obsolete by eliminating the underlying motivations that push people to exploit trust.
Yeah.

I think a TL;DR on my reply above:

I think the difference in privacy between identity(ephemeral(x)) and ephemeral(identity(x)) is not significant. It's more honest to tell people that our product offers only content privacy not meta-data privacy unless we are truly implementing strong countermeasures against tracking by ISPs or others that can pervasively sniff the net. Just nixing the identity key visibility is not a strong countermeasure for the reasons I described.

It's not just accessibility but Apple's enormous network that make the difference. When you use a "standard" tracking device, it is often quite bulky as it has to contain a GSM transceiver and the battery able to power it. Airtags, on the other hand, just use Bluetooth connecting to Find My network. That's an enormous difference. You can't buy such a device from Aliexpress.
Crypto Extends Tumble into Weekend After US Inflation Data
That's true, but I think the author touches on this in calling machine "ruthless". While we may imagine a total bureaucracy, where the train operator themselves close the doors, amputating your arm. That train operator had the ability to, at any point, diverge from the bureaucracy and save your limb. Machine, and by extension computers, are not similarly able. The machine is unable to diverge from its programming. The doors are going to amputate your limbs, and the computer COULD NOT do anything about it.

If I apply that insight to my own experiences, I can definitely spot places where I have disagreed with stakeholders about something because they don't see computers as nearly as ruthless as I do.

What I'm trying to convey is that the type of bureaucracy that emerges from people is fundamentally different than the same bureaucracy with machine. In human bureaucracy every cog has agency to resist the process. In a machine the cog can't resist its own functioning. Not just will it amputate your arm, it never had a choice in the matter.

> In any case, new practices/devices/medicines/etc... are held to a much higher standard than legacy approaches.

At least for "new devices" I really wish this was consistently the case.

However there are many horror stories (including here on HN), about new medical devices being grandfathered in using some prior device or category certifications (from rough memory of the description).

And it really sounds like they shouldn't be. :/

That being said, there are other HN posts about rigorous things some new device manufacturers have had to go through too.

If you automate everything, how is profit made?

I think profit is a different issue. Profit is not necessarily dependent of automation. Automation is just a means to reduce human labor. Generally, this increases efficiency which leads to increased productivity, but it's definitely not the only way to improve efficiency. There are other ways of increasing productivity and I would argue you will never have completely efficient processes. And innovation is always a potential disrupter to generate new profit.

Even Marx said it's just a tendency for profit to fall and not an absolute maxim.
I am from the US, and have heard “shortsighted” used as a synonym for “myopia” all my life. “Nearsighted” is more common, but not exclusive to non-US English. Wikipedia backs up the idea that they are all synonyms, as well.

Thomas Aquinas saw a connection between the metaphysical existence of God and the values of morality in the sense that they are both grounded within His existence.

In other words, Aquinas saw God as the basis for and to all we experience. From the theistic perspective, my question is if moral subjectivism is true, it seems to be self defeating as the concept of truth is fundamentally underwhelmed.

There are plenty of atheistic and some theistic philosophers who see morality as independent of God. I wouldn't necessarily agree with them, but it's just a thought
Mixed thoughts here. If you have an idea of SaaS that exists in the domain/industry and not addressed for years and see an upward trend of adoption, then start one, execute it and maybe white-label your product to big brands that are usually slow to execute SaaS.

Is LaMDA Sentient?
Yeah but is that super relevant? Mortgage monthly payments overwhelmingly aren't up because, obviously, they're usually fixed for a 30 year period. This rate affects new buyers, and only temporarily as of course, they can refinance into lower rates in the future.

Mortgage rates may be up compared to 6 months ago, but they're back where they were in 2018 when I bought my condo. People were screaming 'housing bubble' back then too. Even that is misleading because...

Keep in mind that with an 8% inflation rate, a 5.85% interest rate on a 30-year fixed is a -2.15% real interest rate. Once you take into account mortgage interest tax deductions, the real interest rate is -4.5%.

This is dramatically lower than last time we saw 5.85% interest rates (2018) when we had a 1-2% inflation rate. That's a real interest rate of +3.85%. Once you take into account mortgage interest tax deductions, the real interest rate was +1.5%.
For good processing of the output it makes sense to add a flag like "--json", otherwise people have to come up with their own parsing that makes assumptions of the output and breaks as soon as the output is changed slightly, e.g., by adding a new field.
