(I like mathematical logic).

Continental philosophy eschews formal logic and focuses more on literature and the arts as the source of philosophical truth. Some insights from Emmanuel Kant are used to justify this ([1]). Can someone explain this stance better than [1] does?

While there has been a great deal of
sympathetic interest among analytic philosophers in the idea that philosophy should be
continuous in method and subject-matter with the natural sciences -- what is commonly
referred to as "positivism" -- Continental philosophy has generally dismissed such ideas as no
more than a reversion to a pre-Kantian conception of the philosophical enterprise.

Im sorry I couldn't get past a hypothetical Org allowing a single developer to yolo-yeet bespoke languages, frameworks, tooling, into internal-critical-business-project after internal-critical-business-project.

If your Org behaves like the above you could have the best Rails-Closure framework in the world but you're still destined for implosion.

“Anti-racism is usually structured around conscious efforts and deliberate actions which are intended to provide equal opportunities for all people on both an individual and a systemic level.”

Actually being color blind rather than having the appearance of being color blind is a tricky thing. Taken to an extreme, a collage which had a purely random acceptance criteria is non discriminatory, but it would feel like discrimination if you had a high GPA.

Honestly Walter, if shoplifting is decriminalized then it won't count as 'crime' will it? It's in the word.

From what I can see the trend has more to do with covid restrictions lifting than anything else. Violent crimes and gun-based homicides are the things that have risen most sharply, so that has little to do with larceny.

And generally speaking, if you are frustrated by shoplifting, you should be even more frustrated by civil asset forfeiture, which deprives Americans of more wealth than all burglaries put together. However, it is state sanctioned with no real recourse or insurance to protect victims.

> Taiwan-based TSMC has sued SMIC twice (in 2002 and 2006) for copying its process technology

What does that even mean? they copied a patent? no, then what have they copied?

Does that mean TSMC are reverse engineering/spying on their fabs to know what their process technology is? then TSMC should also be sued for spying
Tor project doesn't block any sites in the code/protocol, but given that many/most of the exit nodes are in western europe you are at the mercy of any given circuit's exit node (usually the node's ISP) filtering.

I remember back when more exit nodes were in Russia, i'd sometimes not be able to visit different sites because the russian exit nodes I was connecting to were blocking them.
It sounds like you're saying that the only productivity gain from ARC (automatic reference counting) is that you don't have to manually annotate what type of pointer you want. I don't agree with that.

Yes, if you forget to mark a ref-counted pointer as weak, then you may get a memory leak. Memory leaks can be disastrous, but they can be benign, and they're always better than use-after-free.

In C++ it is easy to create a raw pointer (with & or *). It's unsafe. Soon enough, you have some lambda inside another function, but the lambda is executed after the enclosing function returns, and you've captured a variable with &. Oops. You thought that the lambda would get executed during the enclosing function's execution, but you misread the API you were using.

IMO the big productivity gain is being able to write code where I don't have to think too hard about whether the code is memory-safe. Modern C++ code makes this easier, but languages with ARC (like Objective-C or Swift) make this even easier. Code is mostly safe by default, and you can visually inspect code to look for unsafe behavior, more easily than you can with C++.

There are also hybrid ref-counted + tracing GC options. CPython uses this approach.
But what's the latency?
Totally, there is a line you can cross, and it might require a telescope or mirrors. There absolutely is an expectation of privacy on private property when there is no public visibility. I wasn’t talking about telescopes or mirrors X-rays or any other tricks, just what you can observe with the naked eye. There probably is a gray area here with zoom lenses that would have to be decided in court, it might come down to intent and not who’s fault it is.

I guess that discussion is veering away from the practical question of whether anyone should be able to know who you are if you’re driving on public roads. It doesn’t require any special technical or mechanical means to see people’s license plates and faces from the side of the road or from poles or overpasses, right? What I’m really curious about is whether there should be laws established against such surveillance because it has become too cheap and easy to monitor everyone at once all the time, or whether as a society we deem activity in public space to be public knowledge and not a matter of privacy, whether no privacy should be expected.

I am not sure that your two points are counter to each other.

Ask HN: How male dominated is your workplace and does it bother you?
I personally find it really annoying that my whole adult life I have to live in environments with upwards of 75% male over representation. Then again I never worked with women so I do not know what it is like.

But for example, my social circle is much more gender balanced, and the atmosphere is much more pleasant when we are together. And I do not think it is because the people individually are different. I think it is just that in the workplace the is a lack of something to the social dynamics that women usually contribute.
If you are using random instances run by hobbyist it will happen. Such instances come and go every week.

Try to use proper instances from projects like kavin.rocks, pussthecat, esmailelbob.xyz, bus-hit.me, vern.cc, tokhomi.xyz etc.

For eg., try https://nitter.kavin.rocks. It is one of the fastest instance and also hosts its CDN on Cloudflare.

Thanks for the reply James.

I agree with everything you said.

To clarify, I'm not advocating to re-create Rails for Clojure, rather, I'm arguing open-source efforts are too focused on the search for Clojure's Big Web Framework TM. However, I do like your guess as to what a Clojure Web service might look like.
The fact that you say it is second hand knowledge of a banker friend makes it anecdotal. Which by definition is unprovable and is why it is not considered ‘evidence’. You also include another fallacy which is a claim to authority ‘banker friend’. What makes a modern day banker suitable to make such claims unless they are a econ historian? Common sense finally rules out your argument because why would I loan a friend money at zero interest if I can deploy that capital with interest. I’m sure it ‘happened’ but you can assume based on human interest that this was far from the norm. One thing you can generally follow as a principal is where there are incentives, human behavior will trend towards those incentives and away from disincentives.

You may enjoy the 2003 book, "The Emperor of Scent." The primary subject of the book, research scientist Luca Turin, theorizes that the human identification of scent is done through receptors that instantly identify the bonds — quantum vibrations — of a given molecule. Turin himself is an interesting character, and I thought the book a great read (at the time, anyway).
Shoot the finale first this time.
The infantilization of western society is something to be marveled at. 20 years ago if you had suggested grown adults would be seeking a “safe space” you would’ve been laughed at.

This is what gives me pause about western culture prevailing. There is no such infantilization in Eastern systems of values. Victimhood is ridiculed, not promoted.
The person who runs a red light doesn't intend to murder, they intend to be reckless under the belief they are skilled enough to avoid hurting others. That the rules were meant for others, less capable than they.

The consequences for rule breakers exist in part to deter those lacking the wisdom to understand why the rules were created in the first place, not because society believes that class of rule breakers wants to hurt others.
Keeping things DRY is about the discipline of the developer.

> java is not neccesary to handle a webpage

I assume you mean JavaScript, which has no relationship to Java.

Unfortunately it is necessary depending on what you need the page to do. It's badly overused, it's abused by AdTech, and it's often unnecessary, but it is part of the web and some things just can't be done without it.

Forms are a good example. They're one of the core features of websites, and they're much more useful with JavaScript (live validation, dynamic show/hide of certain fields, saving progress, etc.)

That’s great for you, but it’s quite common for vegans to suffer from b12 deficiency. And that’s just a commonly tested one but meat also contains iron, taurine, creatine, and a lot more that is hard to get from non meat sources. Personally I went low meat (not even close to vegan) and suffered. My b12 was low normal, yet I definitely felt the effects.
I can directly influence what I buy in the supermarket. I have very little influence on what methods a farmer on the other side of earth uses, whether he lets his cows graze on land that used to be rain forest, or just uses many times more fuel to produce the crop needed to feed his pigs than would be required to produce the same amount of calories as vegan food. So for now, I’m very selective in any meat I buy, and most often abstain.

And methane stays in the atmosphere only a decade or so, so the day we stop release huge amount of it the effect will disappear much faster. But as long as we continue to let methane out in the atmosphere, it will have disproportionate effect on the climate disaster. Which happens right now! Not in some unspecified remote future.
If you live in an apartment please turn down the transmit power for the sake of everyone in the building.
This isn't strictly true, as you control the dns I can block tracking domains, malware etc. For every device on my network.

My p30 Pro phones home on a lot of domains.

now that they are blocked via a pi hole my phone can no longer send that data.

I would count this as a plus to my privacy
Meat is a status thing. In many countries meat was more expensive than veggies pound for pound, so rich people ate more meat.

Poor people ate very plant heavy diets but that was because they had to.

There isn’t really an equivalent reversal of status at the ultra-rich level to dial it back down.
Its really hard to express the business logic of financial institutions. Doesn't matter the language or tooling. Its just really hard.

Ultimately these bugs can all be resolved with little to no damage.

Oh and nobody really shares their implementations, partly because they are so internal facing you can't really abstract it out, but also because its a competitive advantage.
I think they are already do, using meek-azure bridges.

In what way does the UK have "considerably more rights and freedoms" than the US?
There is a significant amount of difference for UDP. If you go ahead and profile any UDP based high pps or bps application, you will notice that a lot of time is spent in the kernels network stack - resolving routes, applying iptable rules, evaluating bpf scripts, copying data, and ultimately handing it over to the driver. On something like a QUIC server - this can easily account for 30% time - or even > 50% if optimizations like GSO (generic segmentation offload) are not used.

io_uring does pretty much nothing to help reducing this number. It reduces the syscall overhead, but that one actually isn't that high in those applications. What it also will do is moving the actual cost and latency of system calls from when the actual IO is attempted to the time when `io_uring_enter` is called, which essentially batches all IO. For some applications that might be useful to reduce overhead - for others it will just mean `io_uring_enter` becomes an extremely high latency operation which stalls the eventloop. This symptom can be avoided by using kernel-side polling for IO operations which doesn't require `io_uring_enter` anymore. But due to polling overhead this will only be a viable way for a certain set of operations too.

Kernel bypass (AF_XDP/dpdk/etc) will directly avoid the 30% overhead, at the cost of a reduced amount of tooling and observability.

For TCP the story might be slightly different, since the kernel overhead there is usually lower due to more offloads being available. But I think even there, there hasn't been a lot of proof that this actually provides a much different performance profile than existing nonblocking APIs.
Sounds like a good candidate for next time I want to try something new, thanks!

> It has found ways to avoid Russian blocking efforts, and this month, it was removed from Russia’s list of blocked websites following a legal challenge. (Although this doesn’t mean blocking efforts will instantly end.)

The website is blocked again. [1]

> However, people are able to connect to its services using volunteer-run bridges—entry points to the network that can’t easily be blocked, as their details aren’t public—and Tor’s anti-censorship tool Snowflake.

It seems that plenty of bridges (the ones you obtain via the website) are blocked, refuse connections, or otherwise don't function properly. I've checked yet again now, with a bunch of hand-picked bridges to which connections at least succeeded at some point in the past, and connections over Tor just time out.

It is still helpful though, but unfortunately "beating" looks like an overly optimistic way to describe this.

Before I gave up compression as a hobby my last big observation was that many algorithms are trying to juggle several concerns at once and wouldn’t it be better to double down on the bzip2 (of for that matter, optimizing compiler) strategy of making multiple passes. That’s not strictly speaking parallel decoding but it can be modeled by coroutines or streams, and involve quite a few cores if you so choose.

And these days we are not as concerned about memory usage as we were when computer with modems might have only 384K of RAM, so a block structure with a length prefix is not such a bad strategy. Though should your blocks all be the same size or should you start a block every time the window needs to be reset? One is smaller, but the other has more predictable performance.
There's some kind of logical fallacy in this line of argument, but I can't put my finger on a name for it.

It's situations where the emotional terror of acute risks forces you to default to a behavior that has less tractable, long term, systemic risks. Mitigating the acute risks is too expensive, so instead, you accept being the frog boiled alive because long term risks are harder to quantify and more nebulously terrifying. You're terrified of a nuclear meltdown, so instead you subject global civilization to decades of unnecessary fossil fuel burning. A nuclear meltdown that kills hundreds or thousands is terrifying, but coal burning that quietly kills millions from air pollution is silent.

Other examples...

* When you're terrified of Covid, so you suspend most of your activities and spend two years mostly staying home, gaining 50 pounds and decimating your fitness which drastically increases your risk of cardiovascular disease and overall significantly increasing your likelihood of dying young far in excess of the acute risk that Covid actually posed to your demographic.

* When we're so scared as a society of the Covid death spike that we stunt the social and educational development of children by years, which is potentially unrecoverable.

* When a small group of religious radicals kill 3000 people in a fantastical way, so you set yourself on a trillion dollar war to lose thousands more of your young people to combat deaths and directly and indirectly kill hundreds of thousands of poor foreigners, coming away not practically any safer than the basic changes to airline security policies would have done for a fraction of the dollar and human life costs.
The article doesnt talk about these benefits, only about how the author was able to re-achieve the high they were seeking. I take it you didn't read the article.
One thing we’re ignoring here is all the fertilizer used to grow animal feed, which is generated from fossil fuels. So it’s not quite all fresh carbon.
The amount of firmware that ships on the human brain is staggering, and we have only just begun to uncover it. We ignore our evolutionary origins at our most extreme peril.
> all of the sensors are reporting "good for an extended period of time"

Not exactly. Boring monitors like those for sensors or actuators are excluded / always reported as ready. Even misfire is always ready, and fuel was, too, until recently.

But of course since the more intersting monitors take long to complete, when they do reach ready, simple sensor checks would long have set at least a pending code if there was a problem.

Next update in california will likely require all monitors to be included in the readiness status latest for model year 2027.
Yeah, if it’s just a modem with a separate router that’s fine, but I think you can get an entry level all in one for around $100 now?

Ask HN: What's your favorite math/logic puzzle?
I personally am a fan of "hat" problems, such as the following: there are 100 inmates in a prison. Tomorrow the warden will assign each a number, from 1 to 100, that will be written on their hat. The numbers won't necessarily be different, and each prisoner will be able to see the numbers of all the other prisoners, but not their own number. The warden will free all the prisoners if one of them will correctly guess their own number. Of course, tomorrow they will not be allowed to communicate in any way, and each prisoner will be given only one chance to guess. How can they strategize today so as to be free tomorrow?
I just dug an old sb6141 out of a parts bin and hit it with the POCs. Got 400s despite it running an http server of some sort, so not sure how broadly this affects the modem lines. Would definitely be nice to have more comprehensive info on what is affected.
Rules and consequences exist because people have different ideas about what "the right thing" is, not because society thinks people are inherently immoral.

Very few individuals believe their actions unjustified or that they are "the bad guy". If we went only be individuals self-assessment of their actions, there would be very few criminals.
I mostly agree on precedent, as far as I know, but I would say that recent developments like the GDPR and others targeting digital practices are probably starting to broach this topic of what is public and what is private. And I’m asking because I don’t know whether precedent is changing right now; I imagine that it is changing in some locales. Googling just now I noticed that California passed a new privacy act in 2020. I’ve seen a lot of discussion and debate, and the idea that cheap mass surveillance technology is a marked departure from what was available before this century does legitimately question whether we can continue operating under the framework where anything done in public is free for someone else to record and consume. That idea is now much, much more prone to abuse than it was 30 years ago, right?

How about this: e-ink plates plus public-key cryptography.

You’re suggesting that a solid plate of metal that can sit, neglected, out in the weather for multiple years without much visual wear, and when damaged by the car wash can just be bent back to shape, and replace that with your delicate little piece of electronics and software? And pile on some PKI to boot?

I’m seriously on the fence in deciding if this comment is trolling me, or if this is what late-stage HN looks like. :-)
Portuguese license plates for a long time had the month/year of the car manufacture. This been discontinued because apparently no other country in EU does this and it was confused with expiry date.

There is no other indication on the license plate. just the numbers and letters.

I assume that expiry dates on US plates is related to either road tax or vehicle inspection
