Where does it state that? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_points_unifying_Therav%C... says nothing about the denial of the existence of gods.
Firefighter/paramedic here. These are definitely outlier events. It's not zero risk, but it's close enough to zero to not worry about.

That isn't to say violence against Fire/EMS isn't an issue, but the idea that we need cops on every call just in case it's an ambush is silly. One of my first priorities on a scene where there are cops present is to clear the cops as quickly as possible. Nine times out of ten if a cop is going to get involved in something, they're going to escalate things, not cool them down.

But that's just optimizing for bad metrics. At this point, anyone who thinks "engagement" and "time spent on page" are customer-positive metrics is in a different mental space than you and I. There's a lot of ineffable things that make up good customer experience that would be hard-to-impossible to A/B test, but it doesn't mean that A/B testing is "unsafe" just because it could be used to optimize for bad things any more than any other telemetry or metrics gathering could be bad because you could optimize for evil things. And at the same time, bad management and product leadership can optimize and develop towards bad goals with plenty of tools that aren't A/B testing.

It seems to miss the point to blame/stigmatize a specific tool because it's been used poorly by a few bad actors in a public way.
In Elixir, nil is an atom (a global enum namespace), it's not a special data type that has meaning outside of a convention (heavily supported by the stdlib) that "you should use it to mean nothing"[0]. To hammer this home, nil is meaningless and not generally understood by that convention in Erlang (which often returns undefined).

Elixir/BEAM is strongly typed. There is no coercion going on when you are doing comparisons.

[0] note that in elixir, "if" is in the stdlib, it's sugar over case, and the falsiness of nil is software-level (only false and nil are falsy in elixir, which is sane).

Ask HN: Side business is flush with 40k, what now?
Looking for advise on what I should do with some of my cash from my business. I have a couple options:

Hire a developer ( part time) to help me build some some product offerings

Use some of it to hire sales person with commission mix

Invest a portion of it

Find a revenu generting asset or small business that compliments my current buisiness.

Other options?

I never thought I would make this money from my side business in the first place. I'm at a point where If I use these funds correctly I can break free from my 9 - 5.

Thank you in advance.
Ugh..

My personal experience. I come back from a trip in Romania. Arrive at Seatac, open the Uber app, it costs $100 for a trip to my house. Wait for my luggage to arrive, I open the app again, it's $120. I go outside the terminal and I find a town car service which was $60 for the same trip.

Rewind 1 day, In Bucharest, I arrive at the hotel via taxi and tell the driver that I need to go to the airport at 4 in the morning. He's like 'great, I just started my shift. Here's my phone number, call me when you wake up, I'll be at the hotel within 15 minutes'. And he was.

I do software development for living and do not have any special backups for dev related files other than git. For general office documents I use Seafile (selfhosted Dropbox equivalent) and have redundant copies of important files on multiple machines and the central Seafile server.

> This should be reserved to something that is truly intelligent

No. I had to write this so many times. It's pretty clear: at some point, we decided "Engineer, if you come up with a solution we will call you intelligent, and if your algorithm does we will call it intelligent as well".

There exists an interpretation of the term that makes the term sound.

It's pretty clear, really - and that "intelligence [tongue-in-cheek] [of specific solvers]" is _not_ "[intellectual] Intelligence", which by the way is not even the last and highest meaning of it.

It is the second time in this very page: «we call "intelligent" in this convention that which finds solutions - normally the natural intelligence of a professional, sometimes the artificial intelligence of a computerized system».
I used to love Java and was very into server side UI frameworks like these and Wicket.

Issue was though UIs started becoming a lot more stateful, and trying to manage complex state on server and synced to client brings a ton of complexity and scalability issues. (Memory was tough to manage with wicket, etc) Browsers and JS engines became way more powerful too and it just made a lot more sense starting about 10 years ago to do more UI on client.

If you actually enjoy UI development, the modern JS options are way better than the alternatives and you should try them out.

This feels like an odd assumption to make about my comment. I don't think all meetings are a waste of time and I certainly don't think people with different work preferences than me are dullards.

My experience has been heavy on people who skip reading in favor of a meeting even when the reading is to provide historical context, summarize learnings, and present what we know about a situation. Not reading turns what should have been a productive, forward looking discussion into a meeting rehashing old information for the folks who didn't do their homework.

In my professional life, I've encountered far more people who prefer to have meetings that could have been emails than I have people who think a strategic decision isn't worth 30 minutes of time for a discussion but perhaps my use of "default behavior" was a bit strong.

I suspect the meeting-heavy cultures and aversion to reading I've encountered are largely driven by discomfort with writing, not reading which is where articles like this one could add some value.

I can only assume the SEC doesn't consider cryptocurrencies securities, or Elon Musk wouldn't have gotten away with his utterly blatant bitcoin pump and dump.

>That some (on the left) have picked up on academic usage of some words or models is perhaps more accurate, and the misuse of words and terms.

That is absolutely true. And there has even been some pushback from the academics who coined these terms. But, in the end, words are tools, and tools meet a need, and there was apparently a great need for a new narrative that explained personal feelings of failure and self loathing. So it was inevitable that these terms would be used in this way. These words, as tools, are also potent for those who desire power, and look for any means to win, including invocation of race and gender stereotypes. It is galling for anyone who values liberty to see this, when the goal has always been to deprecate the prejudice function, and not merely to call the same function with different arguments.

It is fascinating, though, how the desire to improve, to be more virtuous than before, can turn out so badly! It's a real slippery slope situation - we made progress, civil rights, women's rights, interracial marriage, gay marriage, sexual identities, gender identities acknowledging the momentum of racist policies in our demographics...but then it turns into: gender is purely a construct, lets modify children's bodies if they think they're trans, lets force people to use certain pronouns, lets have teachers share their sex lives with kindergarteners, lets give women and students of color the power of professional life and death over white teachers, lets teach reverse CBT. And if you try to make this point, you're called a racist and a bigot! Social justice warriors push an insidious form of injustice that harms everyone. Because, as the GGP put it, it's anti-human.
I'm assuming you're knowingly joking, so for others: 'dinde' is the contraction of French d'Inde, shortened from coq d'Inde or poule d'Inde. So you go to the store and buy some dinde for your sandwich. Fabrique en dinde would mean something is made of turkey (the bird).

Türkiye was, and I presume still in, Turquie in French. So made in Türkiye is Fabriqie en Turquie.

The built environment in most of the US is based entirely around the idea that you get in your car whenever you want to go anywhere. It's going to take a massive re-engineering of society to fix that, but it's totally worth it.
The difference between a grift and a real coin seems to be kind of small. If you keep on developing and pushing the coin/project forever, it's not considered a grift.

It's only a grift once you stop it.
This is almost an irrelevant point. If the hardware is installed and you own the damn car, you should be able to turn on the damn heaters.

In the US, taxis are one of the few types of business that are even less ethical than Uber. They are a necessary service, or Uber is, but I don't know what about it makes people so dishonest.
MBAs aren’t something people are born into or end up through no choice of their own. Bigotry against MBAs is impossible.

It’s like being a loan shark or pimp. People actively choose that life and society talks poorly about them because of the social harm they bring. There’s nothing stopping someone from washing their hands of any of those things and being productive.

Not every critical or mean-spirited comment is bigotry. You got your fee-fees hurt because there’s probably some truth to the comment, even if it’s mean. Buck up, quit complaining, prove the parent comment wrong in your day-to-day work. Right now you’re just deepening a few MBA stereotypes at the moment.
Is there an industry where we can't make that argument? When the choice is either A) making money by poisoning customers or B) Making no money by not poisoning customers I think there is a pretty clear cut correct moral choice and an incorrect one. There will always be someone downstream trying to make themselves richer by making you poorer, that doesn't mean you get to cut dangerous corners to make yourself richer by making your customers sicker.

Cultural exchange of food and clothes and such is great. I’m a lot more sympathetic to the complaint here, though, which seems to be that people have taken the surface level of Buddhist religious practice while tossing out all the parts that make it meaningful to the interviewee. I’m imagining how I would feel if my company hosted prayer sessions where you speak to your unconscious mind rather than God and the sign of the cross represents the intersection of personal and professional responsibilities, and… yeah, that’d be pretty weird. (Or maybe a better analogy would be some kind of monastic liturgy, since she mentions meditation is uncommon in traditional practice.)

Yep. That means bandwidth is the limiting point, and that maxes out at 28 megabit in ideal conditions. A multi-terabyte array would be a waste.
As other have noted, pick up a copy of this book https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_C_Programming_Language it was written by the two guys that created C (and also contributed quite a bit to UNIX). Its perhaps one of the truly "original" programing textbooks (and it does not have some wacky animal on the front). The creator of C++ also has written many books on the topic https://www.stroustrup.com/books.html all that are pretty decent.

If you want to lean by doing my advice is to get an arduino and try and build stuff. The arduino has a C like language (and will also accept C code) which is a great way to learn the language with fun projects. More importantly it will force you to learn C in a very restricted environment where you actually have to think about clock speed, memory management and code efficiency due to the micro controllers limited resources.
> Who cares?

> a "person" learns according to individual nature, while you are using it as a collective term

There's a very specific definition for learn:

>> to gain knowledge or understanding of or skill in by study, instruction, or experience[0]

There's a few more, but none of the definitions treat learn in a non-collective way. I guess meriam Websters dictionary doesn't like treating people as individuals or something lol.

Additionally, all the definitions there are speaking in human contexts. They talk about learning in the sense of being taught, or gaining experience, or gaining knowledge. Sure a computer kind of does this stuff, but it doesn't really. And that falls into the category of attributing human characteristics to an inanimate object.

I probably shouldn't have said that everything in the short list I wrote reeked of anthropomorphizing processes. But the evolutionary algorithm was more in line with what I mentioned immediately before. My whole comment read:

> I feel like the whole industry is inundated with aphorisms that are kind of true, but not wholly true. Evolutionary algorithms, neural networks, deep learning, deep mind, this stuff all reeks of anthropomorphizing fundamentally mathematical processes.

An evolutionary algorithm definitely falls into the category of kind of true but not wholly true. But it's not anthropomorphic.

> intelligent entities learn actively

Also, this is a very loaded statement. What is an intelligent entity? If you Google "is a computer intelligent" there are various papers, articles, and other pieces of media all claiming that we can't call a computer intelligent, and some claiming that we can consider certain algorithms somewhat intelligent. This is anything but an accepted standard today.

> Do you not understand what the term ‘war torn’ means?

Do you know how to conduct yourself properly in discussion? I’ll thank you for trying harder to from now on.

It’s his homeland, regardless of whether it’s war-torn or not. If he has nothing there or not is irrelevant to whether he wishes to go back. Which he could, or he could apply to stay, through the proper channels, which he also could (you’ll note I left open such a possibility).

Yes, what are the chances? Perhaps it would be good to hear something more concrete from you on what those chances are.

> If they found safety net where they are currently why would they return to unsafe place?

Because it's their home, and because hypothetically you haven't provided any reasoning as to why it would remain indefinitely dangerous, but I'm sure we can play this game of endlessly more unlikely and difficult situations so it will be interesting to hear the substance behind these hypotheticals.
You're relegated to the backend not because you know Java instead of Typecript, but because you don't understand the problems of frontend development.

Thinking about how a user interacts with a page, how asynchronous data loads, different screen sizes, how to handle intermittent connections are very different problems than most backend developers deal with. They are all very complex topics that have been evolving over the last 15 years. Modern frontend frameworks focus on addressing these complexities. Because JS/TS are the language of the frontend, the best frontend frameworks are written in these.
>Imo a currency that makes those possible has negative value.

'Regular' currency has been used for all sorts of nefarious things since the dawn of currency, including assassinations and child trafficking and such. Nothing about USD/EUR/CAD/etc. inherently makes it impossible to purchase or participate in illegal goods/activities.

I'm not in favor of cryptocurrency, but the argument that cryptocurrency is the thing enables bad things to be bought/sold is a really tired argument and seems to forget all of human history prior to the last 10 years.

You add 1 day (not 24 hours) to beginning of day. If you have a good library it should handle it correctly.
Standards are often incomplete, or full of "implementation specific" behaviour, since AIUI standards often end up catering to implementations, instead of the other way around (For example C/C++ standards, you can read a plethora of blog posts about the experience of people trying to contribute to them, and some of the hurdles are related to how strongly tied to existing implementations they are). That means you can often have 2 "standards compliant" compilers that are wildly different. Another reason is compiler extensions. Sometimes a compiler is "standards compliant", but also implements a superset of the standard (Sometimes by default, sometimes under a flag) which means code gets written for that "superset" instead of according to a "standard" (for example, the linux kernel and gcc extensions to C).
It's pretty easy to imagine both of these things being true, and the one fulfillment center you visited having substantially less than 13k disciplinary notices. I worked 7 years in industrial staffing for a variety of large distribution centers (not Amazon), and the automated discipline systems in place around voice-pick efficiency were borderline draconian.
Don't bring it up as an obstacle if it's not an obstacle, that you're instead concerned about Microsoft's keys.

In that case though, it's not "only MS keys" really, it's not enabling one CA. In the end if there's a strong need, Canonical, Red Hat or the likes could start building their own CA and negotiate it to be included, would be very fair and probably wouldn't be affected by this toggle. But they do not seem interested however in the much easier MS UEFI CA-signed Secure Boot, Ubuntu does it fine, but Fedora can't sign DKMS modules and the rest are even worse.

So the thing is, the problem of "trust" is very complex and putting in the work is very expensive. Microsoft has chosen to do this to improve their customers' security, they offer others the opportunity to participate and few are actually willing. That's not their fault really.

In the end they'd get slapped so hard by antitrust if they ever truly removed that toggle and the option to run other software. (Unlike Apple or other mobile vendors, who can do whatever they wish, with no such uproar over what is way worse than the toggle discussed here.)
