I agree. I am still using Mathematica 5 for Students, which I purchased when I was a student. Despite the fact that at the time I bought the version for Windows, it is worki g like a charm on my Linux laptop thanks to Wine.

Nowadays my daily workflow is mainly based on Python and Julia, I use Mathematica just for symbolic calculations (solving differentialequations, computing integrals...)

P.S. Once I had the chance to use Mathematica 12 on a server in my University, but I found that it offered nothing that I could need that wasn't already in version 5...
I can figure out how to send you a patch set via email (see my Linux kernel contributions), but if I can avoid doing that, sure as heck I will. Your project must be really important to me, or I have to get paid.

As for the reason, it's simple: the process of submitting patches sucks. I wrote about it: https://dcz_self.gitlab.io/posts/git-botch-email
Depends on what your objection is. Whether it's "they're selling my data" or "they're selling data to ICE".

A Dream Come True: Running Coreboot on a Modern, Retail Desktop Motherboard
I've been birding over the pandemic and learning about how they fly. Watching them, it starts to become clear just how skilled and efficient they are.

This tech demo is amazing, but my mind immediately compares it to things like the ruby-throated hummingbird migration, in which a 5 gram bird[0] flies 500+ MILES nonstop over open water, on maybe 2 grams of fat storage.

Then they feed by hovering so accurately that they can reliably thread a 1/8" beak into a moving 1/4" target.

They can do this directly into 20 mph headwinds [0]. Also in rainstorms where they are constantly getting pelted with their bodyweight in wet missiles every few seconds.

They can also fly 30mph in level flight, which in body lengths / second is ~4x times faster than an SR-71.

[0] US nickels weigh 5 grams, for comparison.

No, that is actually not what the Flash Adaptation Layer does.

The FAL's primary job is to make the Flash array look like a disk, despite the fact that individual "sectors" are not individually rewriteable.

To do this, the FAL implements which is for all practical purposes a filesystem, where the files are all a single sector long and where the filename is the sector number exposed by the "disk".

In other words: Now we have two filesystems on top of each other, one lying to the other, which does a lot of unnecessary work, because it is being lied to.
Yeah, and then the fact that with one tech job, you're already in the top tax bracket, and anything extra you do is taxed at the maximum rate. Diminishing returns on effort...

1\ Interviewing requires preparation which is hard to manage with the job.

2\ If you are on an H1B visa and your spouse has a dependent visa (H4 + EAD), then plan for delays in visa transfer process. Specially for the dependent visa.

3\ A lot of recommended resources for System Design lack depth. They do not talk about alternate approaches, trade-offs, failure modes, and scalability.

4\ All companies have a standard interviewing process. There is rarely any surprise during the interviews.

5\ You can negotiate offers. You are in a better position if you have multiple offers.

6\ Interviewing from home provides flexibility. You can spread the interviews across 2-3 days.
>If you thought China taking over Africa because the US govt was distracted by the Middle East (and isolationism) was bad

Wait I thought people (especially the left) morally condemned the rush for Africa as well as modern day "neo colonialism."

EDIT: Alright, so I'm getting downvoted. What am I missing?
Sometimes I don’t. The climate doesn’t care about your vote or belief system. So, you have to work around democracy. Play to win, the stakes are too high not to.
Yes, I have tried both. However the only ANC I have experience with is AirPods Pro, so that's all I have to go on. But I can definitely say that IEMs do a better job than the AirPods.

Have you read the decision? I haven't read the whole thing, but it consistently talks about what Congress intended to do. Here's a relevant extract, in which the EPA itself acknowledges that to the extent Congress expressed intent, it went against the EPA's rulemaking:

> EPA argued that under the major questions of doctrine, a clear statement was necessary to conclude that Congress intended to delegate authority "of this breadth to regulate a fundamental sector of the economy." It found none. "Indeed," it concluded, given the text and structure of the statute, "Congress has directly spoken to this precise question and precluded" the use of measures such as generation shifting.

The problem here is that what most people here wish Congress intended to do isn't what Congress actually intended to do, because they couldn't build the political will to do it. I'm sympathetic to that view, but it's not the Supreme Court's job to fix Congress's deadlock.
Seriously: power plant owners and investors, and politicians involved with the same. Those politicians have spent time and money convincing their constituency this benefits them, too.
The court should have stayed out of it. At most they should press congress to clarify the charter.
What's unfortunate about it?
It is true that not all scarce things are valuable. But isn't scarcity is a good quality for a currency? Fiat currencies fail because of money printing.

I think many cryptocurrencies are useless and driven purely by marketing and speculation and most tokens are unregulated securities. Bitcoin is someone's attempt at inventing an "ideal" currency and it is being bootstrapped into value and existence. How else could it work? Maybe it will fail, maybe not.

> Imagine BTC was actually used for any scale of economic transactions. It would collapse overnight.

You never explained why and I am honestly interested in your reasoning here. Are you implying BTC can't scale? It seems like two contradicting thoughts - if it is used, then it becomes less valuable.
And the court has previously understood and affirmed this "leeway" after Chevron v. NRDC. So its another case of the court overruling precedent.
Not at all. If a self-interested minority emerges, the majority can fork away anew (see: Steem & Hive).
I'm being quite sincere.

There's still precedent and federal law that protects bodily autonomy in respect to having private medial exchanges with doctors.

We still have the FACE act for example, which is federal law preventing people from blocking the entrance of abortion clinics.

I think we'll find quite soon how much abortion is intertwined with interstate commerce.
Nah. The average person was and should have been prevented from investing in Ebay until they were a publicly traded company, which required Ebay execs to share with the public enough information to have a hope of correctly valuing the investment.

Even if you don't care at all about individuals getting fleeced by scammers, there's a societal reason. We need investment capital for growth, and we need it to be reasonably sanely allocated. If some people raising capital can lie and others have to tell the truth, that puts truth-tellers at a structural disadvantage, meaning more money for fraud, less money for good investments, and a strong incentive for everybody to lie in equal amounts just to keep up.

Worse, over the long term, markets with high levels of scamming mean that most people learn to stay out of them entirely. This leads to even less capital for good investments plus society-wide misallocation of capital. E.g., people just keeping money in their mattresses. So long-term economic growth is harmed for a generation or two. Because even if you clean up a market so it is safe, it takes a long while for people to forget previous pain.

So as a society, we want what America had for decades: strongly regulated financial markets so that the average joe has a variety of safe investment options. For the few who really want to invest in the risky stuff, they can go out and get a Series 65 exam to prove they know what they're doing. [1]

But isn't it strange that it was there in the beginning and no one acknowledged it for about two centuries?

EDIT for your edit: Huh? When I was a kid in Texas way back in the 90's, it was illegal to carry a gun period. You could take them out hunting or to the range or whatnot, but carrying a gun was illegal. The first concealed handgun law was 1995 if memory serves. Carry bans go back to the colonial era.
If we keep electing them then ‘nothing’ is the democratic choice.
They can be checked but that’s require an amendment which… yeah good luck. We can’t even get bipartisan bills through.
No, Dobbs returns the power to legislate abortion to the congress.

You are correct however on Bruen limiting the power of congress and the states.
> What is the argument here?

That limiting the administrative state is far from a monumental changing of the rules. Nobody is challenging the administrative state per se. The major doctrines principle is just being expanded, which limits Chevron, something that only came into being a few decades ago.

Alternatively, a simple majority in Congress could enact the regulations that were deemed not enforceable by the EPA alone. If a majority in Congress won't authorize it, should they be enacted? I guess it depends on your level of commitment to democracy as an ideal.

Would a simulation of full human brain on a computer be conscious? Uhh, I guess so?

The biggest fallacy in thinking about consciousness is that it is all neatly isolated in the brain. What about your nervous system? What about your gut? It's all one big interconnected system.

The truth is, until we can define consciousness; we can't possibly reproduce it on a binary logic playback device (aka a "computer").

What if Russia were to overtake Latvia in the coming months via direct force or through installing a puppet regime? Trump in 2024 for our American counterparts. Would you be okay with the new masters having all this data and history on you?
It’s literally not. Individual liberty is about freedom from government interference.
Ok, found a good explanation now: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30368838
> The energy behind Trump was insane and it seemed pretty clear something was going on in the media to make it sound like only a "minority" of people supported him.

Only a minority of people did.

What’s wild about 2016 is that people seem to have bought into the narrative that because it was such an upset of the mainstream media’s expectations, that somehow that translated into an actual landslide.

Trump didn’t win the popular vote, and his actual margin in the decisive states was razor thin as well.

Did he have more passionate fans than Hilary? Clearly. But a passion vote counts the exact same amount as a “lesser of two evils” vote. See: 2020.
Back when India was throwing off the British Raj there was a strategy among the rebels to murder the good British officials (judges and so on) rather than assassinating the corrupt or incompetent ones.

The idea was that the good British made the Raj more tolerable.

Edit to add: I should point out that that strategy did not result in victory. It was famously Gandhi and the Non-violence movement who ultimately succeeded.

Is Gandhi censored by the CCP?
I say this as a senior dev with 8+ years of experience working with git: git is nightmarishly complex. Highly stateful, insanely large CLI surface, huge amounts of terminology/concepts relative to the complexity of what you're actually trying to do with it. I've learned to navigate its waters over the years, fully appreciate the difference between git and GitHub, etc etc, and I don't blame anybody for being scared away by its complexity.
Have you actually gauged 538’s own probabilities against themselves?

This is a great example of how on an individual level commentators want to bend democratic processes to achieve their own goals, but, without fail, they get caught in a tangle of contradictions. What is the Supreme Court's mandate? To stop climate change? To feel out the majority's opinion and make a legal path for it?

This is why democracy is so hard: it consistently yields outcomes that are disappointing to a large segment of the population. There is no "solution" to that problem, and shouldn't be. There are pathways to curbing carbon emissions, but the reality is that too few people, as a body, want to pay that price.
That’s just as horrific as banning abortions altogether.
There was an amusing SNL sketch on this point not very long ago.

Someone announcing his pending retirement at a dinner party, and how he was now going to live off his 'investments'. A display cabinet of beanie babies.
> No one can hold them accountable for blatantly contradicting themselves.

The democratically elected Congress can pass new laws to overrule most SCOTUS decisions. A few decisions on constitutionality would require an amendment, but those are the exception.
Think of it this way. The FDA has the authority to regulate food, right? So do they get to decide what type of food a restaurant is allowed to serve? No. They don’t get to decide that every county has to have at least 20% Mexican restaurants either. Restaurant owners are allowed to decide for themselves what type of food to serve, and power plant owners are allowed to decide for themselves what type of fuel to use.

Show HN: Walker.js – open-source, vendor-agnostic autotrack library
Yes, the ironic thing is that it's not even clear from the US constitution that the court should have the sweeping powers it has, and it certainly hasn't always had them. But like the pope declaring that the pope is infallible, they have decided that they should. And since elected politicians have found it expedient to play along for a long time, now it's not easy for them to go back.
Congress passed a law to delegate their power and authority to the EPA.

If Congress made a law that the IRS should have the power to set tax rates, then I'd be fine with them being able to set tax rates. Because I think that Congress should have the power to delegate a portion of their power, should they choose to.

This is a weird, and frankly idiotic ruling. Regulations are too complicated and numerous for Congress to decide on every single one. Have you ever read one? They go into excruciating detail about everything because they are written by experts. The best case outcome from this is that the new rules from agencies get tossed into some existing process so that they are rubber stamped, thus adding red tape.

A friend living in the USA told me many years ago: in the USA companies compete to the death and sport is managed with a kind of non aggression pact. In Europe it's the opposite. Sport is where you outspend and destroy the opponents and work is where you get along with the others.

And more to the point. As Italian I can't care less about the drivers. All I want to see is Ferrari winning. Who drives it is an implementation detail, human, AI, remote control, it's the same.

Lewis Powell voted for it (apparently one of his secretaries died from a illegal abortion) and also wrote the Powell memo:

In fact it's quite different.

The US president campaigns before a democratic election. The people know who they can choose before they vote. Same with the UK.

There is no democratic vote, with or without proxy, before the appointment of the Commission.

While I agree that the main fault was with the pharmacies, they should certainly not send any patient information to anyone, I think you can at least partly blame Facebook since they had promised to filter out anything sensitive.
Git is a very malleable tool, you can use branches for many purposes, do all kinds of complex merges (e.g. subtree, etc). I think it can be made to fit most workflows.

The main issue is repository size, which is hard to get from bad workflows alone, with the exception of insistence on tracking large binary files in Git (rather than LFS, DVC, etc).
You were responding to a claim that there have never been other cases of sustained momentum of speculation. The price spike for Tulipmania took place over about 18 months. Bitcoin launched 13 years ago and was first above $1k in 2017. They're not at all similar. I agree with the parent comment.

Hey, I’m Ayla, one of the creators of the walker.js. We’re excited to share what we’ve been working on to simplify analytics implementations, and are looking forward to your thoughts & feedback.

The walker.js is an open-source javascript library that makes every user interaction on a website trackable, directly through your markup instead of writing extra code. Think of alpine.js but for tracking. It’s a self-describing descriptive language for all kinds of web products.

We’re vendor-agnostic which means that walker.js works nicely with the Google Stack (GA4, GTM) but also with other destinations like Segment, Amplitude, etc.
The walker runs across your site to build a complete event context on the fly. The general usage is fully based on HTML attributes that you can define yourself, based on your needs.

<div data-elb="ENTITY" data-elb-ENTITY="KEY:VALUE" data-elbaction="TRIGGER:ACTION" />

It takes care of the best initialization of the triggers and capturing of properties to build the events and handles some more helpful contextual information (timing, globals, user ID, etc.).

We plan to develop further destinations and a consent mode for GDPR-compliant setups. We’re always on the hunt for challenging use cases!

Find out more:
Github: https://github.com/elbwalker/walker.js

Docs: https://docs.elbwalker.com/sources/web/implementation

Brief event concept: https://www.elbwalker.com/blog/elbwalker-event-concept

Our goal is to make front-ends trackable the minute they are built, so tracking doesn’t get pushed to the back anymore and won’t break as easily as today.

The intent of the EPA is to regulate things that negatively impact the environment. To use your analogies, the EPA can by the word of law regulate John, and by the intent of law should be able to regulate BSA and Janet if they are operating in ways that negatively impact the environment.

If you limit an entity to only ever operate by the word and not the intent of law, then it's trivial for malicious (more accurately greedy) actors to skirt regulation, because the government will never be able to keep up with the exploitation of loopholes.

Kind of like how the IRS can tax bitcoins, despite cryptocurrencies not being explicitly written into the constitution or tax laws.
How is it culture wars when one side does not want to regulate pollution?
I'm just dumbfounded by the fact that the US Supreme Court has no term limits, age limits, or reasonable impeachment mechanism for justices that have unethical behaviour or outright lie on their job interview.

The USA is the most "at will employment" country in the world until it comes to the most critical functions of a government. It's absolutely crazy to me.
What's wrong with having a small or medium company? Why must a company sell its soul for the chance of becoming a money-printing behemoth in the future?

I understand that being small leaves you vulnerable to the predatory tactics of big players, but I see that as a consequence of lax regulation. There are too many mono/duopolies already, and the bigger they get, the harder it will be to split them apart.
This right here. Taking a single US Govt elective was an eye opening experience for me.

People also need to try and understand that not every issue is a federal issue. There are also 50 state governments.
This is well said, I’m gonna borrow that - “crypto is like a 0 calorie apple.”

Exactly. In the two restructurings I worked there were lots of people that everyone knew were fundamental to the workings of the institutions. Those people were confident they would stay, and ended up getting amazing raises afterwards so they could continue. Most of the complaints were from teachers who were there for years but were still working only 4-8 hours week, or people that had purely bureaucratic functions.

Amusingly, the best "firing" in one of those was the Dean of the University that had a seven-figure salary. The board replaced him with an administrator and with someone else from the faculty, and both were more qualified, but costed 1/10 of the price (still a huge raise for them).
Yes, it's ambiguous and there are no good answers. Conservative justices say "unless the Constitution says it plainly, it's a no". Liberal justices say, "even if the Constitution doesn't say it plainly, they kinda imply it, so it's a yes".
