I've been playing with this on Linux. Lots of features. Built-in everything: editor, viewer, searcher, batch-renamer, grepper, etc. It all seems to work. No crashes. FreePascal is fantastic for writing things like this.

If I were stuck on Windows without Cygwin (coreutils), this would do.

> "decline in economic activity" is a decline in GDP.

No, GDP is one of many measures of activity in the economy.

Also, “significant, widespread, and prolonged” are important qualifiers, and quarterly GDP is relevant to at most two (significant and prolonged) of them.

> Nobody defines a recession as a decline in employment

Not employment alone, no. But income has long been recognized as part of the multidimensional set of indicators that determines recession.

The Congressional Research Service in a 2008 report wrote:

A recession is a significant decline in economic activity spread across the economy, lasting more than a few months, normally visible in real GDP, real income, employment, industrial production, and wholesale-retail sales. A recession begins just after the economy reaches a peak of activity and ends as the economy reaches its trough. Between trough and peak, the economy is in an expansion. Expansion is the normal state of the economy; most recessions are brief and they have been rare in recent decades.

This is the generally accepted view among economists of what constitutes an economic recession. There is also a commonly cited "rule of thumb" that is referred to in the press. That rule is that a recession is two consecutive quarterly declines in real gross domestic product (GDP). But this rule does not always apply.

https://www.everycrsreport.com/files/20081215_R40052_72d3368...

In 1974, the BLS Commissioner provided this set of rules of thumb for the depth (“significant”), duration (“prolonged”), and diffusion (“widespread”) elements of recession; note that employment is a factor in two of the three elements, just like output (at the time, GDP had not yet replaced GNP as the preferred output measure):

In terms of duration—declines in real G.N.P. for 2 consecutive quarters; a decline in industrial production over a six‐month period.

In terms of depth—A 1.5 per cent decline in real G.N.P.; a 15 per cent decline nonagricultural employment; a two point rise in unemployment to a level of at least 6 per cent.

In terms of diffusion—A decline in nonagricultural employment in more than 75 per cent of industries, as measured over six‐month spans, for 6 months or longer.

I was pleasantly surprised to learn that Fluffychat[1] - A Matrix client, Was written using Flutter when I used it on a Linux smartphone(pmos). It's faster and more intuitive than any other GTK apps there (incl. Those purpose built for mobile) while it being built for desktop Linux.

I knew Flutter supports Linux, I used to check on its status every now and then and found that canonical had been collaborating with them; But didn't expected it to have come this far, Of course the credit goes to the developer.

It's not perfect, There are quirks like button presses hanging the app but I presume it's largely because the Linux smartphone community is small and there haven't been enough contribution in terms of issue reports, fixes.

For what it's worth, I polled HN a while back and there was a perfect normal distribution on hours worked per day: https://imgur.com/qdSltlM. I asked, "How busy are you at work on average?". Poll questions here if you want to see them: https://strawpoll.com/polls/47x15cf1.

So 25% of people work under 4 hours a day including meetings, 50% work 4-8 hours a day, 25% work more than 8 hours a day. And seniority does not affect this curve.
I'm not advocating censorship for censorship sake. The problem I have is with asymmetric rules regarding commerce. If China wants to have free access to US dollars, they need to allow us to have equally free access to their RMB.

I don’t need to live forever. I’m pretty sure I don’t have the stamina for it. I don’t think most of the rest of us do either. I stopped reading Ann Rice before Armand, but if you ignore the other weird stuff, that’s practically the main thesis of the books. People think they have the stamina for forever. Anyone who actually does is very very special.

Blue Mars and Green Mars dip into this too, but also consider Progress instead of the supernatural. Sometimes people have to step aside for new ideas to flourish.
If you keep adding more and more trees to a random forest, variance will go down (they stop being 'random' and become more like the average over all possible trees). In this respect they can't overfit, but in practice there are other tweaks you can make such as tree depth and number of features) that you often want to tweak to increase model performance. These can certainly cause orverfitting.

Theranos contained the seed of a good idea. That it was a toxic cult run by psychopaths is unfortunate.
Yea - I think illicit callers are going to follow laws whenever possible. "Criminals always be crime-ing" is an argument that can be used to counter having any laws but it has a fatal flaw - criminals generally don't want unnecessary attention. The more agencies they piss off by violating regulations the more likely it is that their activities will be suspended.

A lot of the crime you see on TV comes from highly irrational and unpredictable people, but scamming is usually a pretty rational decision if you live somewhere where repercussions are unlikely and the expected income is high.
See you have to insert the word "spying" to make your case, because by itself there's clearly just nothing wrong with personalized ads. Online ads are good because they make tons of business and economic activity possible and connect people to products that they want. People are better on the whole with online ads.

There are ways to misuse ads, but it's hard to make the case that they are inherently bad without inserting weasel words like "surveillance" and "spying".
I don't think it's resistance, I think it's lack of exposure. I don't interact with people who don't use keyboards and monitors, I only find out about them by proactively looking at stats and user research.

Even though I know better all my products are still desktop-first then checked against mobile screen sizes. It's just the reality of how designers and engineers still work. We should probably get to a place where we have a secondary monitor that by default shows 3-4 virtual mobile devices the entire time we're working.

This is from 2019 so I suspect there’s a more recent paper now, but this is interesting: https://openai.com/blog/deep-double-descent/
The headline is the quote from the IAEA saying that the plant is "out of control"

This seems to be another example of "out of control" to mean "out of my control" -- the IAEA has no knowledge of how the plant is going one way or the other, since they can't get there, and have been unable to contact reliable sources at the plant who would know.

The Russians have sort of invited the IAEA to inspect (with restrictions that make inspection useless but let's them claim to have allowed it), but the Ukrainian government opposes the (useless) inspection, since letting the Russians organize it amounts to legitimizing their control of the facility.

The plant might be in a very dangerous situation. It is hard to know, since nobody gets to go in or out.

All in all, a mess and a potential for a disaster, but probably not an imminent disaster threat like the phrase "the plant is out of control" implies.
That's an excellent point!

The operators are assigned to the clients, so even though they are not dedicated, they spend time replying to the same questions about the same businesses for weeks, months, and years. They learn.

From our practice working with SaaS, the tickets to chats ratio is from 10% to 20%. We handle about 80-90% of requests without bothering the main customer service team.

Quantifying portfolio climate risk for investing with geospatial analytics
The books were worth tens of thousands of dollars (sold individually on the second-hand book market, after being carefully catalogued etc.), but nobody interested in buying books happened to be at the auction and the auctioneer set a $1 minimum bid because he didn’t know anything about books and was more interested in disposing of the books than making money from the sale. The auction house could surely get significantly more for their books if they knew the right venue to sell them (somewhere frequented by used booksellers), but I guess it wasn’t worth their trouble to figure out where that might be.

This is sort of like the time I went to a car auction as a kid and some college students bought a lightly used stretch limo in perfect working order for (the minimum bid of) $100.

Hopefully this helps someone else. I'm approaching 50. I just took up mountain biking after moving to an area that has lots of trails. I have seen gains in my health and my mood that I worried might not return. I ride with a guy who's 60 and he regularly smokes the rest of us. My wife and I started kayaking together recently and that's done wonders for mood, health, and our marriage. So, here's my advice:

1) Don't stress about your age. And don't stress about approaching an age. Enjoy whatever age you are. Instead, consider your condition. Should you improve it? Can you improve it?

2) To help with #1, find a hobby that gets your heart rate up and uses a good portion of your body. Better yet, find multiple hobbies that exercise different areas of your body.

3) For me, the key to #2 was finding a hobby that actively engages my mind at the same time. I needed the rush and challenge of riding on trails that mountain biking offers. But for kayaking, I thrive on the opposite. The tranquility of the water and being out on a date with my wife is a sort of meditation. In both hobbies, I come home refreshed and energized. If you haven't found such a hobby yet, keep trying different things until something clicks. You'll probably know it when you get there.

I've read that the problems with chips for cars are actually old processes (greater than 100nm) that are commodity and so no one really cares to make them and the equipment has one foot in the grave and such, so I don't think anyone cares too much about putting chips into rockets since that stuff was figured out awhile ago.

My perception of national defense types is somewhat influenced by reading their press stuff and somewhat influenced by General Buck Turgidson from Dr Strangelove. He would say, "We must not have a $weapon gap!" (missiles, mineshafts, whatever he perceived to be in the national interest at the moment). And today, what occupies the minds of these types is AI which means latest gen chips and problems with pesky nerds and their ethical considerations. They greatly fear that China has surpassed the US in AI and has us outgunned. To be fair to them, AI could certainly be a potent weapon, but I have no idea how their perceptions of China reflect reality.

By "some issues" you mean lost data and violated causal by default.

https://www.infoq.com/news/2020/05/Jepsen-MongoDB-4-2-6/

And no, the issues were not fixed. Jepsen pointed out that
"the newer MongoDB 4.2.6 has more problems" including “retrocausal transactions”.

https://jepsen.io/analyses/mongodb-4.2.6

From Jepsen's report:

> Jepsen evaluated MongoDB version 4.2.6, and found that even at the strongest levels of read and write concern, it failed to preserve snapshot isolation. Instead, Jepsen observed read skew, cyclic information flow, duplicate writes, and internal consistency violations.
This seems very tied to the specific phrase "working in academia" which you appear to have introduced. Would you argue that grad students aren't academics?
Doesn't need re-explaining but makes me realise we often talk about comments explaining what code does, which leads to "your code should be well-written so it's easy to understand what it does" or "I'm a good developer, I can understand that easily by reading it".

But as you say the question is why - people will often be reading existing code because of a bug, so clearly the thought process that created it had a faulty step somewhere.
I suppose one would say that my first "real" programming language was C, or maybe C++. In either case, no, I don't really use either very much if at all these days. Most of the code I write these days is Java, Groovy, or maybe Python or R.

That said, I still try to keep up with C++ a little bit, figuring I'll need to fall back to that for some "close to the hardware" stuff or something performance critical one-of-these-days.

I've had a decent experience with bgfx (https://github.com/bkaradzic/bgfx). It is solely a rendering library (no input, physics, sound, etc). It operates a layer just above a native rendering library, such as DirectX, OpenGL, Vulkan, Metal, etc - those are the "backend renderers" that bgfx uses.

Though I have my complaints about it, I think bgfx gives a good powerful-but-not-too-complicated abstraction over graphics programming; for some design info, see: https://bkaradzic.github.io/bgfx/internals.html

> And we disagree here, for the reason I mentioned before about how most people don't actually know what a safe dose is,

Then the main issue would just be education (i.e. people learn to start at a low dose and build up), and we all have the internet at our fingertips. Nobody should ever be in jail because they wanted to feel better and never hurt another person. That's cruel and unusual punishment, IMO. Isn't the pursuit of happiness kind of a big deal here?

But I do understand there's people who disagree, and would like to see people like me in jail.

> confident there's no risk of being laid off

Companies are ruthless, but that's a straw man. Risk is not all or nothing.

The company I work for is profitable. That fact alone lets me sleep at night.
I also read that as “we can sell this data”.

The thing you need to remember with consumer protection is that a failing company will abandon everything including ethics in order to pay the piper. Especially after they have laid you off.

There’s a reason some capital E ethical companies put poison pills or time bombs in their charter. Booby traps of this sort actually instill trust in people who have heard a line of bullshit so often they can see it a mile away.
In today's world you can't really follow any ideology in a clean way. If you want to live you have to make compromises somewhere and basically be a hypocrite. I only have a problem with people that don't admit that (of which there are many and they are very loud).
