In some languages, "learn" and "teach" are the same word.

For example in Czech, the former is in reflexive form, to "teach oneself".

učit se (learn) and učit (teach)

And in other languages, the meaning of "teach" can be expressed using the word for "learn", by adding the learner as indirect/transitive object:

to learn someone how to play the piano

But I don't know what the parent comment meant by this:

> the learn/teach distinction was made up by grammarians

That distinction exists in some languages, and not in others. Perhaps they mean that this difference didn't used to exist in English, but in later years grammarians popularized it..?

Looking up the etymology of "learn", I found the answer.

> Transitive use (He learned me (how) to read), now considered vulgar (except in reflexive expressions, I learn English), was acceptable from c. 1200 until early 19c.
All our infrastructure technology, services, and almost all “applications” we have built are written in C++. That’s millions of lines of code and span everything from IR, distributed storage and computation, ads serving, relational and columnar datastores, caching and much more.

It’s about velocity and experience. Language rarely matters ( and when it does, you can use what’s appropriate ). For us, C++ checks all the boxes.
That's not the attitude people tend to have, though. It's more along the lines of "if you're emitting way more CO2 than I am, reduce your own emissions until you're not before you tell me that I need to reduce mine". (Basically the same point being made in Matthew 7:3-5 except with respect to environmentalism instead of morality.)
As usual, it's an argument for harming people that produce legitimately useful things that criminals pervert. It's the same argument people make for banning guns in the US.
The concerning stats are on slides 32 and 33, showing that an increasing number of Americans believe Asian Americans are more loyal to their country of origin, and that Asian Americans contributed to COVID-19. Unlike some of the other stats, this one isn't broken down by party. But I would bet that almost all of this increase was among Republicans. Slide 19 provides some support for this, as conservatives were more than twice as likely as liberals to say that racism against Asian Americans has stayed the same or decreased.

Aggregate polls hide the bimodal nature of American politics, which makes them largely useless in understanding what is actually happening in the population.

These days a lot of Mandarin video translations do just use "bù!" or "oh bù!", even though it's not grammatically correct and technically meaningless, just because it tends not to ruin the lipsyncing.

That's good to know. I haven't worked professionaly with Python for a couple of years now, and back then we were maintaining a Python 2 system.

I use Teddit a lot but found the original "teddit.net" performance to be quite poor, especially during peak US hours. It takes a lot of time to load more niche subs that aren't cached and video playback is stuttery.

I generally prefer teddit.adminforge.de, which uses the same Teddit code but runs on a much less loaded server and thus performs much better.
When it gets very cold, teens during the days and less at night- the heat pump runs constantly. It doesn’t help that the ductwork is in the attic. Eventually- after making the house colder then it was before it cut on- the ‘emergency’ heat will cut on and actually warm up the house. This ends up being very inefficient and expensive. It’s fine for mild winter days, but I question how efficient it’s being all things considered.
At least in this case, it seems that MIT is only tangentially related to the research. The lead researchers are from Spain and India with financing from Siemens.
I was curious what the current status of the patent was and it's expired.

"The United States LZW patent expired on June 20th, 2003.. According to Unisys, the counterpart Canadian patent expires July 7, 2004, the counterpart patents in the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Italy expire June 18, 2004, and the Japanese counterpart patents expire June 20, 2004."

Cash carries its own (comparatively small) costs -- one need only look at the lives of lottery winners or the Alternative Minimum Tax to see that even cash isn't always free.
I've used it to build two "bulletproof" services that are never intended to go down (the first catches webhook events and puts them to disk and should never go down; the second processes the on-disk files separately so that reloading the configuration can't cause us to miss webhook events). It is far nicer to have error handling as a visible part of the workflow so that you don't get "whoops, didn't consider that" situations (we had this constantly in the Python predecessor that had problems with "uh, you forgot to mention this might not be pure-ASCII, so I'm going to fall over now" problems as various fields popped up with Unicode over time).

Best parts IMO (not in any order and not exhaustive):

- Not having to consider exceptions (panics are still there, but are much closer to the "exceptional" behavior exceptions are/were meant to convey)

- Explicit error handling with (usually) good error types/representation (instead of the nebulous "`err` that is a string" I've seen in what little Golang I've done)

- Threading without worrying about race conditions

- Dependency management

- Data structure focused (instead of object focused)

- The built-in `#[test]` features are also great and make it easy to test internal code without exposing it in some strange way purely for testing purposes.

FWIW, I find that it also makes your C++ far better because now you can more easily "see" lifetime problems that people tend to write out of habit (`return stackstr.c_str();` is a…favorite that compilers now warn about).
Seems pretty clear to me BTC price is going to spike again due to institutional investors wanting a piece of the game the next bull run. I don't know what happens after that, but if you want to try and time that market have fun.
not sure about newer kindles i have one whose firmware does not get updates anymore.
I can tell you that I own an R1T, and it's awesome. It fits a nice niche in the vehicle landscape right now. Parameters:

- I do not want to buy another ICE vehicle
- I want a vehicle with robust offroad capability
- I want a vehicle with excellent performance in terms of acceleration and ride
- I want a vehicle with premium interior fit and finish
- I do not want a full size truck
- I'm not particularly price sensitive

When you look at the competition at the 100k price point, it hits a nice sweet spot for those constraints. I think there is a significant market there to address. Telsa's cybertruck might be interesting but the Rivian is far closer to traditional styling and imho, looks and drives great. There is a lot to like there if they can scale their company and the product is certainly worth 100k. I would buy it again.
Sure, if you are into the whole imperialism thing.
Depends! Generally to win a typical redraft 12 team league you need to hit on your first two draft picks, and then a couple more late round picks that outperform, and then have the rest of your team be at least okay. The top two picks are mostly luck, so the skill is finding those two high-value-low-cost late rounders. For daily fantasy you’re really hunting out guys that have the potential to have a one game fluke but are cheap (ex. a backup player that has 2 touchdowns in a game for the first time ever). When that happens pretty much all the top teams will have one or more of those players.

Indeed. And even if they only earned $6.1M doing this, if they did something similar ten times but were only caught once then it's still worth it.
I was tring to give hawk_ the benefit of the doubt by not assuming that's what was meant, because it seems like a very bizarre concern to me, given that hawk_ was talking about "incompetent people".

Incompetent people put their own families at risk by trying to work in an industry where they're incompetent. It's not the responsibility of employers in that industry to provide for the families of people who can't do the job. It's really a bizarre concern to be worried about the families of fakers. Moreover, how would it be better for the family of a fake for companies to not hire them at all, as opposed to hiring and inevitably firing them? In either case they'll be unemployed ultimately, but at least if they get hired and fired they can pick up some paychecks, so that's actually better for their families, if that's what we care about here.
I ran into this when I was importing about 1TB into a DB while simultaneously reading from it and performing tasks. This was all in a dev environment, but it did come up.

I don't see this as a meaningful split.

I would react the same way to someone trying to get me to define the difference between an assault rifle and a hunting rifle.

It's odd to me that you have completely misunderstood what is the problem here.
It's not the take home assignment that is the problem but the asymmetric relationship and toxic practices.

I think that the main benefit of sortition is that you end up with a set of people without any need to get re-elected, and that it's this that lends them the ability to make better decisions because their careers don't depend on it.

Here in Ireland, we've had a number of Citizens' Assembly meetings going back just shy of a decade (if you include the 2012 Constitutional Convention, which was effectively the first one in all but name) that have been tremendously productive and have lead to a lot of positive change that would never have happened if it were left purely to professional politicians. You might find it worth a read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens%27_Assembly_(Ireland)
Scientists believe the moon was formed by a collision into planet earth by another celestial body. Why didn't:

1. The other celestial body leave a very obvious elemental makeup in the collision point on earth? We can detect other asteroids, but this one was 100% identical to Earth's crust?

2. Why didn't the debris left by the collision form a ring around earth like Saturn? Instead it all coalesced into one compact body and left zero debris in a ring around earth.

I am not an astrophysicist but these seem like obvious questions with no clear answers online after my quick Google search.
Its good marketing and I would keep an eye on what accounts are submitting these. Its practically a trope on HN at this point. Not to say that MIT doesn't do cool stuff, but there are few institutions as good at self promotion.
You'll just do a clone in Rust in a year or so, if the C++ version turns out to be useful :-)
Shameless plug, I wrote an article recently on how the hedonic treadmill affects development culture [1].

In my opinion, good approach to avoiding the hedonic treadmill is to think in “processes” rather than “goals.” If you achieve some goal, you get back to the equilibrium and get used to it. But if you’re on a journey, there’s nothing to adapt to as every day is a journey and brings something new. So it's like smaller pendulum swings every day instead of big ones every few months.

Nonetheless, I like the ideas proposed in this article and think they also are quite effective.

> Are exercise highs real? Do all people experience them or is it a genetic niche?

I've known many people who have experienced Runner's High. I am not one of them, despite having run probably close to 10k miles in my life. Marathons, Ragnar ultras, stuff like that.

Might be genetic, or I might be doing it wrong. FWIW, I've also never hit "The Wall".

Are you staying that the state/county doesn't know that you are the person owning that house, or doesn't know who the previous owner was?

This thread is not about privacy from other private citizens/companies, but privacy from the state authorities. For example, my bank account is private in the first sense (even my parents couldn't find out how much money I have unless I tell them), but it's not private in the second sense (financial authorities have the right to ask my bank how much money I have).

At least where I live AMD notebooks are a much better deal because they always have either more storage, more RAM, a better dedicated GPU, or a better display for the same price. While everyone is still looking for an Intel Core i5, i7 or i9, an AMD Ryzen 5000 at least now feels less of a compromise.

US soldiers during the post WW2 era are overwhelmingly deployed for non-directly aggressive purposes in fact. They're deployed as a standing deterrent to regimes looking to conquer other nations.

That includes in Japan, South Korea and various nations in Europe (Germany, Italy, Poland, et al.). By the hour, those locations have seen the largest and longest-term US military deployments in its history. They're not there to start wars, they're there to deter the aggressors (Russia, North Korea, China primarily) from attempting to conquer their neighbors and annex more territory.

Programmer focused, not strictly a password manager. But easy enough to use as one.
I can't speak for the US, but in Germany, transactions between countries over 10k€ must be reported to the Bundesbank. There are similar limits for inner-country transactions with businesses, especially financial ones. I assume the USA has similar rules. So small cash transaction are fine, but as soon as larger sums are involved it's going to be very problematic.

Since crypto currencies, nearly by definition, don't care about country borders and the mixers don't trace the amount put in by each user, they almost certainly allow you to circumvent money laundering registration requirements. It's even worse if they frame the mixer as financial institution, in which case it directly violates its reporting requirements.

> Indian banks don't let you do that, they make you give an OTP for every transaction, if you reload, you get logged out, you can't paste or open inspect element [...]

I don't see how these four things are related. Banks in the Netherlands require 2FA (i.e. smartphone or dedicated 2FA device) for every transaction, but this does not prohibit you from pasting an account number or reloading the page.

In particular, I don't see how opening the developer tools and reloading the page are related. If you reload a page, changes you made using the developer tools are lost.
Microsoft now is doing the same with Edge. If you want to change your default browser on Windows 11 you need to individually click and select it for every file extension/protocol.
But I think anyone that handles PID should be held to account, as to what happens to that data. We have been doing a terrible job of that.

Many apps that I encounter, are pretty much bald-faced, unapologetic, data harvesters. That’s clearly their main purpose, and their stated purpose is really just the lure on an anglerfish.

“Move fast and break things” sounds good, until you realize that said “things” may be people’s lives.

There is no absolute right to privacy.
I often wonder if people are aware that the US is basically a one world government. You cannot run. If you believe you are innocent, and you run to any other "somewhat free" country, they will send you right back to get railroaded through the "justice" system. If you do something outside the real jurisdiction of the US, they will find a way to put you in their jurisdiction.

The US has significant control over European countries. They're nearly vassal states to a degree.
Maybe? Sometimes? It probably depends if what they're doing causes operational issues. BGP is primarily a trust based system. Many upstreams have filters to limit route announcements from their downstream / customer ASes, but at its core, it is trust based.

Privacy, not security. This removes features that call home.

Those features are not disabled in their "standard" preset which they present as "recommended for everyone".

To disable gatekeeper, you need to use the "strict preset" which they describe as "not designed for daily users, it will break important functionalities".
I'm using C++ for most of my projects, because I like it. It's also what I do for a living. The latest new open source project I initiated is a dns server, nsblast, using rocksdb for storage. https://github.com/jgaa/nsblast

The (side) project I have put most effort into in the last year is k8deployer, a helm like utility that can deploy simple and complex applications in kubernetes with minimal effort. https://github.com/jgaa/k8deployer

In these projects I don't use other languages. C++ is the only language where I easily get into "flow".

What problem does Mastodon solve? Just non-Twitter shortform social networking? What about Diaspora, PeerTube, etc?

Not being beholden to a central authority (whether that authority be Twitter, PayPal, or the US government) is intrinsically valuable to a lot of people. Blockchains are just a convenient and proven way of enabling that sort of independence.

Granted, decentralization is a bit of a niche, and the cryptocurrency gold rush has made it way more mainstream than it has any right to be at this point in time given its drawbacks. But that doesn't mean it's not valuable.

As for blockchain specifically: yes, decentralized payments seems to be the primary use case. But once you have a decentralized payments system, that enables the creation of a whole bunch of other decentralized applications that would not have otherwise been possible. That's why most "blockchain" projects start with a currency and then build from there: it's hard to build decentralized cloud storage[1] or decentralized DNS[2][3] without first having a decentralized way to pay for those services.

I'd like to see some numbers on this, but from my gut feeling it's not a then vs now thing. Much rather, the old farts that practically live on that website are the ones providing the rest with free content.

Basically the 90% / 9% / 1% split between people reading, people interacting and people creating. I would be very surprised if the 1% contributing and creating on reddit wouldn't be using old reddit for the most part.
FWIW, the settings you refer to are under a section entitled “Privacy over security”. Though I’m not sure there’s a strong privacy argument for disabling automatic updates or the offline-only things like (I think) Quarantine. Gatekeeper, though, as I recall, does send information about all binaries being opened.
