It's interesting you mention junior engineers. My experience is the complete opposite, it's people who have been programming for many years who hate learning stuff like this and want to stick to their comfortable way of programming, whereas those who have programmed for fewer years enjoy learning about this and actually have fun doing so.

Perhaps unsurprisingly the author of this library looks to have only a few years of experience themselves.

> and housing was absolutely an investment before that

..and don't make absurd generalizations. Humanity is way older that the middle ages, and hundreds of different cultures existed around the world even during the middle ages.

Very few had the concept of investment and the idea a house has a monetary value that grows significantly over time was simply unheard.

Imperial units are bad but measuring history in united-states is even worse. The US is not even 250 years old.

Whenever I see these takes, it just reads to me like "I know there are scams in the cryptocurrency world and am too lazy/disinterested to figure out which parts are the scammy parts, so I'm just going to cast the whole space as a scam and feel smug about it."

There's a lot of scammy stuff in the cryptocurrency world, but why do so many people feel the need to pompously proclaim the whole thing is a scam when they clearly only have a shallow familiarity with the space? Is it sour grapes or jealousy?
I remember going from my small "t9" style flip phone button texting to my first touchscreen texting and thinking it was a huge downgrade- I had internalized my keypad well and could easily text one handed under a desk or in my pocket without looking at what I was typing, whereas on the new smart phone I was constantly accidentally fat fingering one letter over another even while staring directly at it using both hands. Not to mention how much bulkier smartphones are compared to flip phones, the battery life being way worse, etc.

This got slightly better with autocorrect fixing some of the accidental misses, but it's really a bandaid over the fact that key misses still happening constantly on touch screens, and now anytime you need to type something other than what the autocorrect expects it becomes doubly hard, since you have to not only fight the touch screen but also fight the autocorrect trying to help by actively changing your inputs.

I'm still looking for a great "smart" flip phone. It should have a decent screen and camera, real buttons, be not too big, but still be able to use most standard apps like maps, web browsing, etc. I did see a friend with a foldable double screen smart phone, which is... sort of in the right direction? Cool tech, but doesn't help with the tactile feedback issue.
And this is why marketing is a thing, for the record.
Insider trading is a distortion of price discovery, because the insider possesses knowledge the rest of the market does not. That's why it's illegal.

Insider trading is not real buy-side demand pricing information because the insider (typically) intends to sell as soon as the price pops, once more market participants have been pulled into the trade because it's going up -- key knowledge the insider knew the market did not.

Markets as a price discovery mechanism relies upon all participants having access to the same information. Insider trading clearly breaks that fundamental rule.
I can pick just about any project that's appeared here or elsewhere and be just as uncharitable and miserable about it if I wanted to. What's your point? What does this add to the conversation?

It's always been an investment, but the difference is the shift from being a stable asset that appreciated at or above inflation, to the sort of incredible hyper inflation that we now see.
> IMHO, if you have the space, f-key/button menus (e.g. the hardware shown at https://www.informatique-mania.com/en/tutoriels/quest-ce-que...) are better than touchscreen menus.

I like avionics and ATMs where you see these. They're great for experienced users with relatively fixed functionality.

You can't tradeoff UI factors so easily, though. If you usually have 5 options, and found you have 6 somewhere-- you need to break up the section or add a page, etc. And if you add an option the user UI workflow completely changes.

While, with a touchscreen you could accept a smaller target for the least-used option, and adding a new target on a page doesn't change things too much for users (and is arguably more discoverable).
Strangely, clang 13+ seems to have regressed - it emits runtime code as well, whereas clang 12 has just "mov eax, 24".

Should this be reported anywhere?
Regular people are concerned about affording basic necessities. Supply chains are absolutely fucked. The company I work for is so effected that the folks in logistics are talking to ship captains and port managers, and we’re pretty well insulated from most of the inflation. My colleagues and I are hurt more by inflation than my company is. This inflation is wild though. Large companies are posting obscene profits while fighting labor on every front, raising prices massively (just got back the store and some items are up 300% from last month), and have taken full advantage of government subsidies. Consumers are well and truly tapped out, look at target posting a massive decline. Target’s performance is a bellwether of middle class conditions and its bleak. Walmart is also reporting a decline. Companies should have been preparing for this 6-12-36 months ago, the signs were there. Instead short-term-ism won out again in board rooms and talking heads look like a surprised pikachu trying to talk around the problems effecting consumers and the obvious solutions. People need affordable: food, housing, transportation, and healthcare. The rampant and excessive profiteering in these industries has dug a huge hole that is going to be exceptionally painful to dig out of because so many people have had their lives wasted on truly frivolous endeavors. I expect the beatings to continue until morale approves or the proletariat finds their voice. All these people you hear fear mongering are the soundtrack to the game of musical chairs playing in the economy.
Saying insider trading of material non-public information is beneficial to free markets because it allows for a handful of connected individuals to front-run the market on non-public news is certainly a take. A really weird one, but a take nonetheless.
JS has built-in syntax to do just that. It's in fact much less painful than making a deep copy.

For HP smart app and web-based functionality (like mail2print) to work, not the printer.

HP is still the best manufacturer which provides a complete driver stack which provides same quality printing in Linux. CUPS supports them in "driverless" fashion now, too.

I use an old HP 4515 web printer, which is the first generation of these devices. Many embedded web features are deprecated (like printables), but it still works great as a wireless, mobile enabled MFP.
It cost more to maintain infrastructure that experiences an order of magnitude more usage than an infrequently used set of infrastructure.

18 years of working mostly java dev, still on Eclipse. Yes its simpler. No its not for performance although on typical corporate hardware any performance gain is strongly appreciated. I prefer running command lines in ie git or maven/gradle to learn/keep using the tools even when there are plugins for pure clicking.

Even won some personal license of Idea on some Belgian java conference around 2007 (javapolis? way too long ago), but it never sticked with me for too long (back then it was significantly slower IDE but already more powerful than most peers).

A few devs within company use Idea, but there are no strict requirements. Code is easily portable between those and nothing IDE specific ever goes to git repos. It really doesn't matter that much in enterprise Java, if anybody tells you otherwise they are probably junior or do something very niche in this realm.

> Homicide rates have been well reported since the 19th century, and they track the same general pattern as violent crime rates:

There is one confounder here which makes the tracking progressively less and less good for past 50 years, and makes it seem like the current crime rate look better than it actually is, relative to the past crime rates: improvements in trauma medicine.

Basically, what would be a homicide 50 years ago, today increasingly is “only” an aggravated assault, because of advanced treatments. If you adjust for that, if you assume that the standard of care today is unchanged for past 50 years, today’s homicide rate would likely double.
In my home country it's not possible to avoid it. 80% of the tech companies have diversity/inclusion meeting/committees where you have to discuss how to hire more women or POC.

I just want to work with good engineers. I don't consider having or lacking a vagina to be a useful metric. And I take no pleasure working in an environment where black people are being shown around as "see, we are so inclusive, we even have black people in our company".

We have pride month, had LGBT/BLM events on the streets, talks about how women are being paid 20% less than men, the white privilege rhetoric is everywhere.

It's impossible to avoid, and all of this circus is impeding my capacity to think clearly. The easiest solution I found is to vote with my feet and move. I enjoy living in developing countries, there are more concrete problems to solve, it's intellectually refreshing.

War unlikely short term, too much mutual exposure (until 2028)

- Still lots of interdependancy in critical supply chains
- USNavy decade of concern

- US reshoring semi

- PRC building out nuke deterence

- PRC catching up on semi, shifting energy mix, improving food security

- PRC improving other critical defense/deterrence capabilities

- ergo US not doing much but poking TW with diplomatic moves

- meanwhile PRC reciprocates by building up military, continuing defense modernization

War likely medium term (2028-2036)

- There maybe be a period of elevated concern when either sides retrenched enough, thinks they have upper hand and miscalculates.

- Both PRC and US domestic politics have made responding to TW likely.

- PRC's the only country to have fought/threaten to fight with every NPT nuclear state while she had no/marginal nuclear capability. US (and all of UN in Korea), USSR border wars, India Border skirmishes, threaten UK wanting to renege over HK handover, technically France in Vietnam war, all over sovereignty/security issues much less important than TW.

- US spend too much on defense to not use shiny toys, but so far has been smart enough to only fight opponents they can stomp, but still get dragged into decades of excess commitment.

- Ideally Sino-US war (likely sparked TW blockade) will likely be low casualty maritime event for US and PRC, but TW and maybe JP, SKR or other island nations in region willing to support US efforts will turn into a developing country with all their critical infra glassed. Worst case scenario is mainland/CONUS strikes that trigger nuclear response.

- PRC will be alright, it produces plenty domestically to hobble along.

- Only scenario where US maintains hegemony or PRC unseats US global primacy, overall just temping big stake gambles.

(World) War unlikely long term (2040+)

- there are some paradigm shift capabilities long term that will create credible mutual deterrence, specifically conventional prompt global strike that both US and PRC are pursuing.

- Ultimately works in PRC favor, as it opens CONUS to existential vunerability.

- Which will US deter from substantive intervention, PRC options to tackle TW opens up, including blockading it into Yemen until island capitulates.

Last scenario/timeline is tech dependent and might also occur short/medium term, but IMO long term inevitable. Many hints that PRC is pursuing meter level CEP conventional global strike capabiltiies, while official doctorine states rapid strikes are coming. This means every USN capital ship from CVNs to SSBNs, critical piece of infra like oil refineries, data centres, power generation are all vunerable, (or any US allies, or anyone for that matter). Personally what I'm keep eye out for to predict how things will play out. Note it doesn't mean no war, but it will dramatically circumbscribe how much war will escalate. Both US and PRC will direct confrontation away from home front will be mostly alright in this scenario. Though this might mean proxies/vassals gets wrecked.
Even an experienced driver can appreciate not having the view completely obstructed by the clouds of droplets from the wheels of other cars in a rain and no amount of driving lessons can make one see through the water. On top of better visibility in all weather conditions, SUV offer easier loading/unloading, easier access for setting up children in the child seats and, even though not an off-road vehicle, still much better in the adverse weather (snow, floods) because of high clearance. If you're are not racing the only reason to choose a wagon is the few more cubic feet of room are more important to you than anything above. This is why SUVs displaced wagons IMHO, I doubt people buy so many RAV4s and CR-Vs in the US just because of some footballers who bought Uruses.

You can find the figures at the end of the paper. It's a somewhat common style in the social sciences and humanities to format a manuscript like this. Figures either in separate files or at the end, with "insert figure here" annotations inline in the text. If the paper's accepted, then journal production staff would use those annotations to put the figures in approximately the desired place in the typeset version, using whatever layout software the journal uses. (In comp. sci., typically the author does this kind of figure placement themselves in LaTeX, so most drafts shared on HN don't have that style.)
Sounds like you want more declarative languages, like SQL. The magic to get those to work well is a lot easier to implement and optimize if the problem space is restricted. So, DSLs.
Python packages are a hack that is held together by duct tape and Stackoverflow answers that everyone copies.

Historically, "works out of the box" has largely been a matter of low-level hardware bringup. That's one part of FLOSS development where there is already a natural "center of development and revenue", namely ODM's and OEM's. They just need to stop pushing hacked-together, barely-working downstream BSP's tied to a single software configuration, and start cooperating with projects at relevant levels of the stack. Pine64 is actually a lot better at doing this than your average hardware vendor, the OP is mostly complaining about relatively minor quibbles (though important quibbles nonetheless, because they directly impact OP's work).

It's my impression that people tend to underestimate "junior engineers" in the C++ world. I'm always impressed at conferences that there are so many young people holding presentations about really advanced topics.

IMHO this "no junior will ever understand that" attitude comes mostly from older folks who learned C++ as C with classes and to whom even the STL is a work of the devil.
> Insider trading is a distortion of price discovery, because the insider possesses knowledge the rest of the market does not. That's why it's illegal.

Insider trading is not illegal because insiders possess knowledge the rest of the market does not.

Insider trading is illegal because it creates a false perception of unfairness among less sophisticated market participants. (There are other decent reasons too, Matt Levine has written about this extensively too. Yours isn’t one of them)

> Markets as a price discovery mechanism relies upon all participants having access to the same information. Insider trading clearly breaks that fundamental rule.

This only makes sense in a context where all parties have access to equal resources, but that’s not true. A hedge fund paying visa for transaction flow, or flying spy planes above a factory to track production will have more information than other participants.
I'll name you several.

Copied from another reply I made, here's some projects to check out:

- Lens Protocol [https://lens.xyz/ (one example implementation: https://lenster.xyz/)] is an early social network built on top of Polygon.

- Farcaster [https://farcaster.xyz/] is another one, that takes a more hybrid approach of using Ethereum for trustless identity, but stores social stuff in a "sufficiently decentralized" way.

- ENS [https://ens.domains/] is a universal username system.

- Unlock Protocol [https://unlock-protocol.com/] uses NFTs for tradeable subscriptions, event tickets, etc.

- Radicle [https://radicle.xyz/] is a decentralized Github basically, that (optionally) uses Ethereum to store the Git HEAD of a "project" essentially.

- Arweave [https://www.arweave.org/] stores files permanently using a cool "endowment" mechanism. Currently, the network has secured its storage for like 1000 years in theory.

I mean let's say they did somehow figure out an enzyme to speed it up, it would likely cost more than just supplementing more of the desired precursors.

There might be some obscure food or supplement that does what you want but it will cost more because it will be rare and then you've got the problem of huge consistency between batches because all manufacturing in China/India is the wild-west.

Easier to just take the precursors which are mass produced so prices slowly coming down, though covid/inflation/supply-chain threw it a curve.

https://bugs.python.org/issue946373

There are hundreds of "reserved" names that must be avoided when naming scripts, many of them are exactly the sort of names someone might use playing around in a new language, and every update/new module installed can add any number of new ones breaking your existing programs.

There really should be a flag or environment variable to specify that the current directory should be ignored (or considered to be at the end of sys.path) for all scripts across the whole system.

For something with such an easy fix I'm surprised this foot gun has been left out for 20 years. I mean, the bug report even had a patch included to fix the problem!
