Attic Greek was the dialect of Attica (around Athens) before Alexander, c 500 - 300BC. Koine was the vernacular that spread around the Hellenistic world after Alexander's conquests, was used to write the New Testament and in the Eastern Roman Empire / Byzantine Empire.

Attic survived as a literary / prestige dialect because important philosophical works and plays and such were written in it, but it was the vernacular of the region when those plays, etc. were written.

The general progression of Greek, very simplified, can be said to be Homeric -> Attic / Ionic / other dialects -> Koine (mostly from Attic & Ionic) -> Medieval -> Modern

+1 to your landing page design. Very fun and engaging.

Some feedback:

- Onboarding is too long: incentivizes fake sign-ups just to see the jobs

- None of the investors listed seem that impressive, which makes me think this is just limited supply rather than higher-quality supply

- Card design looks like Otta, made me wonder what makes this site unique?

Your site feels like a twist on https://topstartups.io/ except I prefer the open format of being able to see everything. Maybe it's instant gratification

A couple more for folks interested in prior/similar art:

- Marko, made and used by eBay, which had been doing islands/partial hydration for years

- Qwik, made (and I’m pretty sure used) by Builder.io (and one of the original Angular creators), which only loads/executes JS as needed for interaction. Not quite partial hydration, it resumes state serialized into the HTML (sort of conceptually similar client side to Alpine etc)

Most of the 8-bit computers got GUI interfaces such as GEOS for the C-64 and Deskmate 3 for the Color Computer 3. Most of the 8-bit computers also got late life upgrades such as the C-128, Coco3, etc.

The IIGS was a bigger upgrade than most of those because it went to a real 24-bit address space and a much faster CPU than the original, compared to most of the others which were mostly about upgrading the video system to support 80 column text mode.

The story that hasn't really been told about the 1980s was the failure of the 68k series which led to the demise of a number of computers that tried to outperform the early 8-bit machines but struggled such the Atari ST, Amiga, etc. From home computer vendors to UNIX workstation vendors they all either jumped ship to another CPU or went out of business.

Obviously Motorola decided to kill it and replace it with the Power PC, but I've never seen a clear explanation of why -- Intel grew it's way out of the 8-bit doldrums because it did the same trick IBM did with the 360... Keep upgrading it's CPU while keeping backwards compatibility. There was that strange period from 1978 to 1996 or so where home computers seemed frozen in midair, not making much progress, precisely because there was no forward path to upgrade your CPU. Jumping architectures is a risky move, and in the case of Motorola consigned it to a bit part in the CPU industry.

Had the IIGS continued to evolve the obvious thing is that it would have had to make a transition to a real 32-bit architecture.
>It makes the gun owner a lucrative target.

Doesn't it do the opposite though? It gives criminals a map of exactly who they shouldn't rob, lest they risk getting shot. I imagine criminals will go after the softest, easiest targets, not the hardened, well-armed ones.

>Criminals get guns through burgling and robbery.

Are you sure about that? I thought it was more via buying guns in states where they're easy to get and which don't keep registrations or records, then illegally, covertly transporting them across state lines, and then sometimes removing/filing serial numbers and other identifying info.
Plenty of them already out themselves by slapping NRA stickers on their cars and refusing to STFU about their stockpiles.
Because my natural default setting is the certainty that situations like this are really all about me. About MY hungriness and MY fatigue and MY desire to just get home, and it’s going to seem for all the world like everybody else is just in my way. And who are all these people in my way? And look at how repulsive most of them are, and how stupid and cow-like and dead-eyed and nonhuman they seem in the checkout line, or at how annoying and rude it is that people are talking loudly on cell phones in the middle of the line. And look at how deeply and personally unfair this is.

[...]

If I choose to think this way in a store and on the freeway, fine. Lots of us do. Except thinking this way tends to be so easy and automatic that it doesn’t have to be a choice. It is my natural default setting. It’s the automatic way that I experience the boring, frustrating, crowded parts of adult life when I’m operating on the automatic, unconscious belief that I am the centre of the world, and that my immediate needs and feelings are what should determine the world’s priorities.

The thing is that, of course, there are totally different ways to think about these kinds of situations.

>>(very unfortunately), the papers are often behind paywalls or otherwise inaccessible

This is what Aaron Swartz was suicided for (allegedly) (I have my own theory on why he died, but I would never share that on HN.

---

Its a complex problem though - ESPECIALLY when said papers/research are fully funded by public tax payer dollars, then de-facto those papers should be public... but it IS also a matter of national security...

If [ENEMY STATE] can just harvest all the academic research of the US, then why do it themselves. So there is that.

Though, one could take a CIA route, and change aspects of the papers which are public such that the gist comes across, but methodologies are either tampered with or omitted such that one would still have to do the remaining work to succeed.

This was what was really interesting to me about DUQU/StuxNet.

But yeah, Swartz was not killed for JSTOR access/theft... (or maybe he was to prevent enemy states getting all these papers?)
Good list. Its not unlike what I keep on the wall. I call it the potholes on the road. Whenever I feel like I'm stuck I try to remember to check the list. If its on the list I can relax a bit and to at least whatever otherwise useful extent forgive myself.

While LegibleNews does well in speed, to me, a newspaper or a news source needs to be extremely dense. I don't want to scroll forever to painfully be blasted with negative space.

> An expert on crime gun patterns, ATF agent Jay Wachtel says that most guns used in crimes are not stolen out of private gun owners' homes and cars.

not if you are hoping to steal guns.
Most criminals get guns through straw purchases. This is still a big screw up, but overall, the best way to keep guns out of the hands of criminals is to better regulate sales.

It'll take longer than that just for the new employee to get up to speed, let alone contribute much and prove his worth.

Also consider that the benefits package is often worth 50% of the salary or more. Then there are the taxes the employer pays on employment, the cost of the facility and equipment for the person, etc.

Then there are all the expensive and costly problems if the person is in a protected class. The employer has to prove they can't do the job, which can take a year or more.

By what measure?
Huh? OWL doesn't check anything when you load data. What OWL does is infer new facts based on the facts that are there.

For instance if you put in an axiom that says "a manager must manage one or more employees" then the system will infer that X is a manager once you add a fact that Y is managed by X. Classes in OWL are classes as in "classification", not classes like Java where you have to create a class simply to have a place in memory to put a facts.

Some of the reason why people "just don't get RDF" is that it works exactly in the opposite of conventional systems and that creates so much cognitive dissonance that you can see people's brains shorting out when they encounter it.
Pretty sure there are a lot of people that are successful and reproduce because they got lucky, but they think it's because they're smart/better/etc.

You have that going on for couple generations and pretty soon everyone will think they're better than they are.
Does anyone call herself an "Identity Marxist"? I suspect actual cultural Marxists like Lukács, Gramsci, Benjamin, or Hall would be quite interested in studying the phenomenon of applying that label to people who have never considered the ownership of the means of production.

This is a problem with this whole line of thinking. We should be able to criticize identity politics as it is, for its excess and harmful effects. (Likewise, we should be able to praise it, for any praiseworthy qualities it might be observed to have.) Shoehorning in an association with Marxism is either a rhetorical crutch or a baseless slur. Marxism isn't a synonym for "bad"; it is a particular school of criticism.

I might be able to live with the term "Identity Stalinists"...
>Doesn't it do the opposite though? It gives criminals a map of exactly who they shouldn't rob, lest they risk getting shot. I imagine criminals will go after the softest, easiest targets, not the hardened, well-armed ones.

I'd say thieves generally want to rob when _nobody_ is home so it doesn't matter if they are armed or not. Knowing that there are guns stored in the house is just advertising something specific they might be able to steal.
They’ll know the places to target and then go after them when they aren’t home or look for little old ladies etc.

Ask HN: Where to Read Proofs?
I'm attempting to self-study mathematics, and I'm having a very hard time with proofs. My formal maths education goes up to calculus II. I've never taken linear algebra, for example, and trying to learn it with a textbook like Linear Algebra Done Right is very difficult. I have a terrible time even making it through the first set of exercises once proofs come into the picture.

I've heard many many times that you can only learn math by doing it, which is certainly true, and is akin to saying that you can only learn a language by attempting to speak it. But to begin to learn to speak well, one must hear tons and tons of speech. Similarly, to begin to learn to write well, one must read tons and tons of writings.

Are there any resources for people who just want to read proofs? Preferably well-commented ones suited for beginners like myself who are trying more to get a feel for proof as an activity rather than trying to learn any particular branch of mathematics through them (at this point).
