The problem with our understanding of the term is that it's used by people who mean socialism to be communism, and have conflated them. (perhaps unintentionally).

Even in Marxist theory, which is the point of reference to communism, Karl Marx States: ‘socialism is the first stage of the worldwide transition to communism’

Ergo it is not communism in of itself.

I'll leave this little prose from the bottom of the dictionary definition for socialism:

> The term ‘socialism’ has been used to describe positions as far apart as anarchism, Soviet state Communism, and social democracy; however, it necessarily implies an opposition to the untrammelled workings of the economic market. The socialist parties that have arisen in most European countries from the late 19th century have generally tended towards social democracy
I know most configurations don't use it, but k8s supports different runtimes and today you can use Kata or firecracker to run each pod in it's own "microvm."

You then get the security benefits of a "real" VM while still distributing your software as an OCI (Docker) container, and can operate it like any other k8s cluster.
>Activism has won against science.

What are you trying to say here? Problematic isn't a scientific quantity but maybe you're throwing this in from some other context? Personally, these days I see people of all walks invoking science when they just mean "my own common sense."
Surprised to hear Moonlight Sonata in a retail shopping setting. One of the most powerfully depressing pieces of music I can think of.
What I realized a while back is web development has split into two "routes": building websites and building webapps and I think part of the problem is those two often get conflated.

With a website, the idea is a visitor might only visit a single page. Under this model you want to ship as little JS as possible, and ensure that if the user just tries to read a blog post, the entire site isn't getting downloaded.

Contrast that with a webapp. I'm currently building a real estate investment calculator/dashboard and the mental model is diametrically different than building a website. Unlike a site, I want the entire app to be loaded upfront because the user is using the "entire" app, not just viewing a page.

The problem I see is when one is trying to design a "site" but uses the "app" model, or vice versa. Attempt to use an SSR framework like NextJS for an "app" and you are going to have a bad time, likewise try setting up a site like you would a webapp and you are going to have some pretty serious limitations.

I'm a backend engineer with 6 years of experience, mostly in storage systems. I also have professional experience in writing compilers and hand-crafting non-trivial assembly code.
My broad spectrum of interests and strong background in maths allow me to quickly dive into unfamiliar areas and get things done. Ideally, I would like to work on a compiler or high-performance networking/storage software. However, I am open to other opportunities too.

The exact list of technologies is much longer and somewhat boring to write here. I am happy to share my CV in private -- please, get in touch if you are interested.

The Unofficial Simpsons Cookbook
I’m in Maryland USA. There are two non-profits that cover Maryland news and send daily newsletters. The county executive (chief executive person for the county) sends a weekly email with various county service news, and the county council sends regular emails. Of course this stuff is self-promoting but it does let me know what is happening as press coverage at this level is minimal at best. The parks send a weekly mail with events, as do other local agencies. Most government agencies around here do this and they usually have sign up links at the bottom of every webpage, in the pile with all the other links that don’t get noticed much.

Unfortunately it seems to me the big newspapers like NY Times are intent on sending mails with daily commentary and “analysis” rather than just high-level digests. I do get digest emails for my work - Washington legislative stuff that doesn’t get a lot of public attention - and those are much more useful than the “analysis” NY Times likes to send; I really wish they would do more of a straight daily news summary.

C-span also has a great daily email with video clips from the day - just politicians in their own words, rather than “analysis” which always just means commentary and opinion. The Economist does some commentary in its daily emails but it’s brief and has a good survey of world news and it’s always worth reading.
Yes, I think the difference this time is motivation (because M1!) and some money going this way.
Cormen et.al. is a great algorithms textbook, but I'm wondering in what world does it pass as a quick reference?
Alright so to avoid putting words in anyone's mouth, please outline how corruption could have caused the US to fast track a pattern it developed itself rather than one of the superior commercial patterns that they would have had to pay royalties on.
I gave up on this years ago when I realized the only valuable things coming to my email were transactional emails, anyway. The rest is... newsletters and shit.

If you're only checking your email to use the "search" function for something very specific, or to find an expected transactional email sent within the last minute, there's not much reason to bother setting up filters.

Text is probably the best way for non-friends to get through to me, because I mostly ignore email and calls since they're overrun with crap, though the current campaign season is really trying to make text useless, too. So many damn fundraising texts, usually from candidates in other states entirely.

Working on more generic anonymized names! The goal is not to guess which ones these companies are.
That happens in America as well, and I don't think people are well aware of it - the employer is required to pay unemployment insurance on top of the salary they pay to each employee. If you collect unemployment, this is where that money comes from.
Renewables make things much worse because they need loots of Gas as Backup if the sun isn't shining or there is no wind. Which happens very often in Germany especially in the Winter.
Personally speaking, if I have a problem so specific that a generalized tool can't solve it, I am going to create the solution to that problem myself.

If all my problems are so specific they require this treatment then I have too many unicorns and not enough horses.
I'd like to question the premise that you have to "catch up" with peers, and that comparisons make sense. Especially in the private sector, career growth isn't solely dependent on technical skills.

Some peers can get big career boosts due to nepotism or networking and switching companies. Others leave a large company, giving up the chance of promotions to senior management, and create their own startup or join another at a senior level for advancement. Other people change industries and start at a junior position. Yet others decide to work a stable job for lesser pay, maybe at certain departments or agencies in the public sector.

I honestly don't see where competition with peers becomes a factor, so long as you're working enough to maintain valuable skills that hiring managers and organizations are looking for.
I wish mods would pin this comment.
Another unsolicited tip: take quality advice anywhere you can get it

This reads harsh, so apologies if that wasn't intended. Just... I feel this is more of a disservice than anything
Really, it just depends on a the value you provide in your emails. If Apple sent me 40% discount promo codes, I'd LOVE weekly emails. Ha!
Then it should not be 'Show HN', presumably OP just didn't realise, but that's for showing one's own work, not someone else's.
What's wrong with cutting rainforests ? Last i looked, wood was "carbon neutral".
I recommend The Goal as another reading, I think it does a better job on covering the Theory of Constraints aspects compared to TPP, but TPP does a good job of connecting that idea to IT work and software development.

Goldratt's sequels to The Goal are worth a read, too, but The Goal covers the more critical parts (IMO).

The Greeks Empire was all the way to the northern borders of India. Europe and Asia have been trading for millenia along the Silk Route through India and the Indian Ocean. In fact Europe was losing money to Asia until the formation of British India, and the political turmoil in later British India was what led the UK to turn their attention to exporting tea to Boston...
I had my first kid at 15; are you that early? It was a rough start. Mom and I are still together 24 years later. We played life on hard mode and I don't recommend it. I got a near full academic ride to a university but had trouble getting books and supplies. My wife worked mostly as a waitress at first. After several attempts at different jobs, I landed as a software developer. I was in my 30s before we could save a penny. I make a couple hundred grand a year now and can buy my (now three) kids what they need and want and my retirement account is healthy

>Why did they try them in the first place?

With no knowledge what so ever my gut reaction is to simply point to nature. Leaves get eaten/bitten/broken/ripped, a branch might be in front of another adding depth with similar patterns, rocks and sand in a desert can vary sharply at different focal depths, urban environments can have dozens of materials in use along with random detritus and objects at various focal depths.

Pixilation was probably a logical step towards recreating these varied environments. Look at a ghillie suit that has leaves incorporated, they'll have a pixilated appearance - example: https://static5.gunfire.com/eng_pl_Ghillie-Suit-camouflage-s...
“…diagnostic errors cause 40,000-80,000 deaths in the US alone…”

If it’s as high as 80,000 per year, that would be about the same as U.S. automobile and gun-related deaths combined.

Spending time physically around other people fires off a lot of nice neurotransmitters, even for people who are introverted and who would rather not be spending a lot of time around other people.

One figures COVID lock downs would have hammered this point into the global consciousness.

Of course too isolated of a group and things get super weird and everything can quickly go off the rails.

Petition to change New Zealand's name to Aotearoa in honor of its Māori roots
Read the links.

Germany gets ~50% of its gas from Russia, ~50% of its oil from Russia and ~50% of its coal from Russia.

Together ~85% of the energy of Germany comes from oil, coal and gas combined Nuclear was just phased out and I assume wind / solar made up for the differential. Wind often stops, particularly in winter. I’m not familiar on the particular turbines in Germany - but Canada mentions this: https://www.nrcan.gc.ca/energy/energy-sources-distribution/r...

So 30-45% of German energy comes directly from Russia. Potentially more during winter.

Regardless, you’re looking at it through the lens of your flat. That may not be representative. For instance, I’d your flat is next to other flats operating at 20C then I’d expect your flat to stay relatively warmer compared to the outside air. If everyone drops, it drops dramatically.

The average $300/month bill may have been a poor basis (let’s take your €120/month), but the magnitude change imo is more likely to 10x still. Energy prices change on the margin, there hasn’t been a crunch yet; but there will be - barring some agreement with Russia.

Oscar Pistorius was both a Paralympic and an Olympic sprinter despite having no feet.
Yeah, it seems like it would be possible for the DB engine to aggregate all these increments into one update. If you have two increments by one each in the queue, why not make it a single increment by two? I'm not sure though how much computing power it would need to figure that out...
You're right that '[i]' is just a function call ('.index(i)' https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/ops/trait.Index.html).

> So, for me, the placing of bounds checks when using that function is an implementation detail and therefore, if unsafe removes it, it does not effect the semantics.

The function is not marked as unsafe, so it promises that it will not corrupt memory and thus must perform bound checks. The designation of safe/unsafe for a function is compile-time and promises certain semantics.

It would be a semantic issue for a safe function to invoke unsafe behavior.

Even within an 'unsafe' block, calling safe functions should not cause memory corruption as long as your other unsafe calls / unsafe code didn't do anything "wrong".

Anyway, to implement a function like that, you'd need:

fn index(i) -> T {
if is_caller_in_unsafe_block() {
return unsafe { unsafe_index(i) }
} ...
}

The compiler does not, as far as I'm aware, have any "is_caller_in_unsafe_block" primitive, and adding one seems quite fraught.
Just because it is a "normal" thing doesn't mean it isn't something that medicine can address. Many of the unpleasant things our bodies go through are "normal" reactions to events.

Yep, AWS Lambda.
Fukushima is an exercise in politics. They've already killed several hundred people in the name of politics, I haven't seen data on what the cleanup entails but I suspect it's as stupid as the evacuation. (Hint: The expected death toll from staying put was zero.)

The problem is nuke plants generally produce no hazard and rarely make a mess--and we go insane about said mess. We don't do much of anything about the much greater deaths from the other sources because they're more distributed and thus not noticed.

Instead of obsessing about maximum safety and cleanup etc, what we should be doing is saying nuke plants must have a better safety profile than their closest competitor--note that that is natural gas which currently has 100x the death rate. (Wind and solar are intermittent, until you count the storage systems you don't have a number at all. Hydro is capacity-limited. Biomass is limited.) And I think the chart in the article is allocating the Fukushima evacuation deaths to nuclear rather than to the politicians.
There's a wide spectrum of symptoms that are very effectively treated by stimulants in people with ADHD apart from focus/productivity, including anxiety, insomnia, working memory, and emotional regulation. Outside of treating ADHD stimulants will more typically make all of these things worse, not better.

The most unusual aspect of stimulant treatment for ADHD is for the hyperactive and combined types - stimulants reduce hyperactivity and impulsive behaviour, and people with ADHD on low dose stimulants are less likely to engage in reckless behaviour or develop problems with substance abuse - not things you'd ever say about stimulants and the average person.

You certainly don't get too many neurotypical people finding they can finally nap once they're on low-dose amphetamines.
Healthcare costs are equal to the amount of healthcare used multiplied by the cost per use.

Big picture, Americans use a bit less healthcare and an other parts of the world, but they tend to spend about five times as much which is where the costs come in.
Do you have a different German newspaper you would recommend now? I used to read der Spiegel regularly to keep my German from getting too rusty.
Congrats on the launch! The novel (for robotics) business structure looks interesting. How are you planning on kickstarting the ecosystem? It looks like you need at least one or two competent companies above you on the stack before you can start getting real-world feedback. (1) Do you have in mind who these companies will be? Do they exist yet or do the need to be created? (2) One of the super difficult things about robotics is reconciling the difference between a clean sim and a messy world. How will you get feedback on how your robots are operating and iterate if there’s an independent company sitting between you and the customer?

Headline could've been "TikTok videos leave teens with mental disorders" and I'd still believe it.
I feel like many disorders are just a reaction to environmental factors. The brain is insanely plastic and can learn useful adaptations to survive very unnatural psychological environments. It's basically just a machine learning model being trained on bad data, the model hardware is typically fine, but the weights are going to be very messed up from only learning on atypical situations. Conditions like anxiety are productive if you're living through a famine or war. IMO therapy is basically just learning to down-weight the shitty data and up-weight the healthy data.
Shining under different light (e.g. IR) is nothing new. I think it was Soviet paint on tanks that was highly visible early in WW2 through a filter.
