Without Swift Concurrency, you'd write something like this (pseudocode):

GetWeather() { results in

// Do something with the results

UpdateUI(results)

}

The part in the curly braces is a closure/completion handler. The GetWeather call is not blocking, so it runs on another thread and then it calls your completion code when it's done.

This looks fine in a small example, but it quickly gets gnarly when you need to pipe those results to something else, or you can also end up deep in many completion handlers.

With the new concurrency model it's just this

let results = await GetWeather ()

UpdateUI(results)

Now let's say your UpdateUI call was also non blocking:

GetWeather() { results in

UpdateUI(results) {

DoSomethingElse ()

}

}

Which just becomes this

let results = await GetWeather ()

await UpdateUI(results)

DoSomethingElse()

If you think the government as a land-owning cooperative, the taxation is theft idea goes away.

Libertarians' confusion comes from using different language and concepts for the private and public sectors. Cooperative owns the land, sets the rules, and takes fees. Fees don't have to cover just expenses.

Both left and right make the same slight of hand in economic arguments. They jump between ethics and economics arguments depending on who is doing what.

Hard to define = hard to criticize.
Many are all too eager to "debunk" active brain training. Which is easy to do (even if ultimately wrong) when you know what it is and can pick a benchmark metric. IMO for most of the things meditation is supposed to do there MAY be better exercises. But right or wrong, there's more skepticism about them. Meditation is just harder to criticize so it has more staying power.
IPv6 amounts to a firmware update which the current hardware is and any future hardware will be capable of. The major hurdle in scaling Starlink is fast and cheap deployment of 1000s of satellite hardware. At the moment, the sole focus of SpaceX in relation to Starlink is to get their V2 satellites to orbit in order to keep up with bandwidth demands. V2 requires the Starship system which is yet to make it to orbit.

TL;DR bigger fishes to fry ATM - yes you need IPv6 to scale, no you don't need it right now.

I think that the terms mindfulnes and meditation must be defined first. Mindfulness is easier to define; it is being in the present moment and concentrating on the task at hand, not thinking about the past or future. Meditation on the other hand is defined differently by different people. I would probably look to the eight limbs or yoga to look at meditation:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashtanga_(eight_limbs_of_yoga)

The yamas, niyamas, asana, pranayama are preparation for meditation, pratyahara is the transition point. One starts withdrawing from the external sensory input and brings the focus inward. Dharana and dhyana are the stepping stones to samadhi.

Meditation is not easy and it takes many years. Many people are not succesful
at Dharana; i.e. able to maintain the focus. Consider the constant stimulus in today's environment with instant messaging, email, texts, etc kills out concentration. Also, one can't measure one's concentration during dharana otherwise one is not doing it. So, for us techies, it is difficult. The point is to keep improving one's ability or length of time to maintain the concentration during this phase.

From my point of view, weight lifting and similar activities can be done mindfully; however, they are not meditation. The reason is that they are externally focused.

So, I guess I have defined meditation as being mindful and concentrating inward. I would think that somebody that has reached samadhi and/or nirvana or what ever it may be called in their practice could probably give more precise definition of meditation.

One also needs to look at one's goals with meditation. Is it samadhi/nirvana/enlightment? Is it being able to clear the mind? (If it is to clear the mind, then one's goal could be to do dharaha; for example, to maintain the the concentration for 20 minutes.) It is probably difficult motivation wise to do meditation, if one does not have an end goal.

When you tried it, what was your goal?

I would also mention that it is something that one has to do daily to improve. If you do it once a week, very unlikely to see improvement. I would also look to do as many non-meditation activities mindfully, to see improvement in meditation. Perhaps the goal for some people is not the meditation, but to be able to be more mindful and present in their daily activities. It is very unlikely that one can enjoy an activity if one is not mindful during that activity.

So after writing this, I would think two goals would be good for people that are not necessarily looking at samadhi/nirvana as the end goal:
1. able to concentrate better. This should lead to better grades, better performance at work, better pay.
2. enjoy life more because one is more present during one's life.

For comparison, I worked for Spotify and had shares when they direct-listed. First, they transferred shares from their ledger to Computershare (they were fine, but the website felt like it was made 15 years ago). From there, Spotify had an arrangement with Morgan Stanley to transfer the shares to their books. I was able to trade on the first day, but it had to be broker-assisted (they charge $120). Once the shares were with MS, it was easy enough to transfer them out to a discount brokerage.

The whole process was fine-ish, but I had to read things carefully, and I wasn't thrilled with fees from MS, but the process for transferring shares anywhere else was more complicated. Remember that these are unlisted shares, so transferring them is weird.
It is similar in that Spanish classes necessarily require learning a lot of vocabulary and grammar. However once you have a base level of knowledge you can take advantage of being near real people to practice conversation skills. By the end of my second year of Spanish class we were being tested speaking for several sentences about a topic (with some advance preparation) to the teacher who would ask questions. Holding a conversation, more or less.

Duolingo doesn't put so much emphasis on conversation in my experience. Most of the questions give you the words in one language or the other and have you write out an answer. This allows you to lean on reading. Listening and speaking are the hardest parts so the should have the most practice, not the least.

Some ideas worth exploring.

1. Find a guy from a set that's undervalued. For example: 20-something shy nerd that's inexperienced with women, and doesn't have a lot of self confidence. In 10 years, they would probably be a "catch" but caught by someone else then. Think grad/law/med student at highly competitive technical university.

For example, read about Scott Aaronson's early adult years https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/01/the-blo... and the type of person who he could have connected to then.

Downside is you may not find them immediately attractive, but you need to have some perspective on what they will be like with a few years of maturity and self-confidence will bring. Note they may not be that actively dating, so it might require extra effort to meet, and the stigma some may attach to going out with someone 10-15 years younger.

2. Cosmetic surgery. Be brutally honest on what can take you from, say, an 8 to a 9. Guys like certain physical attributes, and in general may get you more attention even outside of a dating app.

3. Be more open to men you're not immediately attracted to. Perhaps you think they're obese--but that could be a reflection of being single in their 30s and 40s and being unmotivated. Guys can clean up real well if they have a reason to.

4. Go move to different city/countries for a few weeks or months. You'll likely get some attention as a new person and get some totally different types of men to date.

5. Hit up your married networks. Be shameless. Ask your female friends to ask their spouses if they know anyone at work. Could be "Yeah, Dave is a mess, just got divorced after his wife cheated on him--he needs someone sweet and understanding". DON'T ask for pictures before agreeing to date, just base it on your friend's character assessments.

This solution would work if there were only one valid configuration for your set of possible guesses, but there will be many valid configurations. But you're right, it's not an exponential in the number of possible guesses, rather possibly an exponential in the number of possible guesses that lead to a valid configuration.

> - What might be the economic and environmental ramifications of a world with ubiquitous “robotaxis”?

Personally when I hear people talking about a future where nobody owns a car because robotaxis have replaced them, it feels dystopian to me.

After all, when the government of X demands all travel records in their country be handed over to their secret police; or that the people on a 'watchlist' not be permitted to travel? The robotaxi company will have to conform to local laws.
That's how things work now. You think having a copyright on something will matter if the multibillion dollar company fights you and drags out the legal process until you run out of money?

Waking Up is what came to mind for me as well when I read the OP.

I also had the same questions as OP before I started. Even on HN, when meditation would come up, people would mention the spiritual/eastern roots (often to the tune of "ugh westerners suck they don't even get it") which was always a let down to me: if mindfulness is useful by itself, then surely it doesn't need to be encumbered with or require buy-in to all this other bullshit.

Thankfully, mindful meditation is indeed useful stand-alone.

I love this guy. Learning his method of play has utility well beyond the game. The game of poker, especially the no limit hold-em' type, can change how you think.

Someone close to me watched Brunson, read the books and found out they have some talent for the game. Made 5 figures that year.

In my view, Brunson along with the mathematician friend he has mentioned a few times are excellent ambassadors to the game of Poker. (I am sorry the other fellows name escapes me at the moment. Brunson said, "He tells me why I play the way I do.")

Brunson has a huge empirical and sociological view of the game. In programmer speak, has the right lookup tables and people skills to be quite successful.[0] The math can derive a similar set of data minus a few decades playing poker in the more questionable and dangerous parts of Texas. However you arrive at the technical knowledge of the odds in play, it's the people skill that makes a player truly devastating. Brunson is a keen observer of people and a top notch analyst of their behavior.

There are some players in Poker who lean ultra hard on the people side of things. I've tried it, and my own sense of others isn't bad. Totally possible to play solid on reads alone with players who don't bottle themselves up and the piece linked to this discussion talks about that.

Modern players tend to close up, get into the math and lean hard on that aspect of the game. It's far less fun that way, and I think, harder. Can be much harder.

One other thing:

His online poker site was top notch and had attracted a great quality of player. Was enjoyable and lucrative for good players. Frist, near the end of the Bush administration, attacked the game and delegitimized it opening the door for far less reputable actors. Ruined it for many. Sad day.

[0] I want to be clear in that I am not implying Brunson has some deficiency or other. He's as sharp as they come. I really meant to speak to his roots in the game and where key strengths are. I've too much respect for Brunson to say otherwise. Can't get this wrong.
Cool , we're in agreement, but it wasn't a given in the comment I was originally replying to which made very strong claims about what is probable.
Taxation isn't always theft, but taxation used to feed corruption is no different than protection mafia so can be seen as theft.

Then the main difference is whether you see the government as being corrupt or not. Libertarians see the government as corrupt and therefore thieves. In countries with less corrupt governments people tend to have less problems with taxes.
Maybe you mean Open Firmware: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Firmware

> “It originated at Sun Microsystems, where it was known as OpenBoot, and has been used by vendors including Sun, Apple, IBM and ARM.”

> “Open Firmware allows the system to load platform-independent drivers directly from a PCI device, improving compatibility.”

> “Open Firmware may be accessed through its command line interface, which uses the Forth programming language.”

As I had written a few Forth programs on the Commodore 64, when I got an aluminium PowerBook G4 years ago (2003) I tried it out, and yes, it was Forth.

More recently, I used it for real when setting up a Sun Blade 150.

There is a common thing people do in the Q&A after talks/lectures where instead of asking a question, they try to make a point, often using rhetoric and hyperbole in their question to discredit the speaker. And rarely is the question boiled down to something simple, instead a long rambling goes on and (in some cases) baffles the speaker/lecturer who is left to distill the question down to more simple terms. Don't do this!
The "break it down" approach is good,but sometimes it does take too long. What I have seen work is to just start implementing a partial solution that struggles with some of the corner cases. Your team is no longer stalled waiting for you to finish, and can jump ahead to other problems while you stick with continuing to look for the full solution. Plus, seeing a suboptimal solution in action can help make the best solution pop out andlook obvious.
That looks like it’s up my alley, I’ll check it out. Thanks!

He later also published a fifteen minute rant video full of loaded language. Where he said paraphrasing "He'd rather die then deleting this tweet" and how the left is oppressive because he can not present his views on Twitter because he won't call Elliotts ( previously Ellens ) breasts which were reduced in size to conform to Elliots body image "his breast" instead he wants to call them "her breasts" and that is the reason why JBP has to on purpose call Elliot she. The tweet also called a doctor a criminal for doing that operation.
The fact that also males do get breast reduction surgeries (after recovering from being overweight or after recovering from body building) seems to be completely lost on JBP. So he acts like there was a cosmic slight against truth with Elliot confirming his large breasts to a more normal male size.

He goes through great length to make the situation seem as complicated as possible by constantly naming former and current name, as well as any pronoun in every sentence.

It is not complicated. You accommodate a person who transitioned as soon as you became aware from a source you trust that speaks for them that they transitioned. (Trans people speak for themselves, do not assume they are possessed by some ideology or demon.) You treat it as any other name change like on that might happen after a divorce. You refer to past achievements with the new name but there is no urgent need to change every old document. It is not hateful if you missgender people if you are getting used to concept. No gender police will come and put you in prison. If someone insists on dead naming a trans person it probably is hateful. While there is no objective standard to tell that apart, people kinda know as they know when you spite someone for other reasons. It is ok to ask but expect that they might be exhausted from explaining so try to do your own research first and react to to their feedback if they tell you you are doing anything wrong. You are two people and you can work that out. Also try to make their life simpler in ways which cost you almost nothing, they sure are going through a lot. If you'd ask people who go out of their way to harm trans people you work with, ask them not to.

This is kind of broad. Narrow it down a bit:

1. Are you interested in

- analytics-type data science where you're focused more on product/business analytics, decision making, A/B tests etc.

or

- applied machine learning kind of data science?

2. Have you taken undergraduate-level calculus (single and multivariable), linear algebra, probability theory or any statistics?

3. Are you already a software developer and if yes, what do you work on?

4. The books that you found challenging - which books and what was challenging about them?
