Please, HN is intellectual paradise compared to reddit. I once tried to get into a debate on reddit about whether China was the next rising superpower or not. I pointed out China's demographic issues, how the developed world has largely turned against them in sentiment, how they're dependent on the outside world for food and energy, etc.

The response I got? "Lol people have been saying China's going to collapse for decades and it hasn't happened yet lol" Oh and I got downvoted while that response got up-voted. I basically became a full time lurker in reddit after that experience. Complete waste of 15 minutes typing out an actual argument.

Contrast that to HN where even when people have a misinformed argument they at least make an effort to engage, and I've actually been put in my place a few times with new information/well reasoned arguments that weren't just pulled out of someone's ass.
> None of this "oh no he's got bad faith!" stuff that is trotted out for politics. Argue about the outcomes of policies, not the unobservable mental state of the people putting the policies.

I don't think you understand the difference in these two concepts. You can "corrupt the youth" without resorting to bad faith arguments. This quote of yours makes no sense.

I am not arguing race. I am asking why from sheer 'ability to steer process in direction I want' would an institution not fight against any changes to the status quo just when they figured out a sweet spot for themselves? I guess what I am saying that it explains a lot behind the link provided.

Yes! I have been thinking about this as derivative value. In UX, we ask why people want things and get multiple reasons with varying weight. Stakeholders have underlying values that they prioritize, and the total value of something is not just counted by the top metric.

Seeking environments and opportunities that have a lot of derivative values works really well. If you want to be rich and happy, seek a job that pays well, has work you like, and coworkers you learn from and enjoy working with.

These different things all are interrelated. People who work well together are creative and productive so they can earn more.

This is why we should fix society’s problems and not just take care of ourselves. We can’t avoid experiencing other people’s problems. Affordable housing, drugs, nutrition, crime, etc. affects all of us when we see or hear about it.

Being impacted by one of these issues is enough to prevent someone from getting the rest of what they need. Not addressing our issues leads to them growing worse over time and even the ones doing well will feel it.

If we don’t value conservation and sustainability of the system we’re in, we will have a hard pursuing our personal values in the future over our own basic needs.
Haskell can be a beautiful small language. One can enjoy it like a walk in the woods, without worrying about which typeclass models our light cone in the universe.

My first functional language was APL; I later moved from C to Standard ML. I loved Scheme till I realized I was camping, it was getting late, and I needed to build a shelter from Y-shaped twigs. Somehow OCaml never took for me, but reading a few of its source code modules was an efficient crash course for coding in a functional language.

What is the dream that these languages and Haskell aspires to realize? We want to slice computations in arbitrary ways and manipulate the parts as algebra. This dream of many since the first Lisp meets resistance from those who don't love algebra, but one cannot fault the aspiration: Find a way we can all code with more leverage, less effort.

Pretend Haskell is as small as APL or Scheme. Ignore those who scoff at your primitive avoidance of an emerging Haskell pattern.

I highly recommend Simon Marlow's "Parallel and Concurrent Programming in Haskell". I don't know any language that handles parallel as gracefully, and one can read this book without ever seeing an >=> or <=<.

Ok, fair point on that one. Eliminate the default risk and you're willing to take 0% or even a negative real interest rate.
I've had that sometimes during the cold seasons, and usually take a puff of salbutamol before setting out. I still get it sometimes after a hard run or a race.

Maybe try reducing the dose of running (duration x intensity), until you don't suffer so much, and then slowly build up if you can over weeks. You can walk & run, couch-to-5K style, if it helps.

This little-by-little approach applies to most things in running - from training your VO2max to coming back from an injury, so it may help you. The key is to understand that the timeframe of adaptations can be weeks to months, and not to rush things.
Phones should be banned from school. It was hard enough to focus without smart phones. I cannot imagine how it would be today.

As a parent I would probably consider giving my kid a flip phone for school hours. Maybe that’s a creative solution.
Disco Elysium is a piece of art! A lot of text, but what a fulfilling experience.
It is, sadly only a one timer. For continuous entertainment I can recommend Into The Breach - the best UX of a strategy game I've ever seen. It is replayable for hours and hours, and is great at every moment of gameplay.
It seems that I would do the same after a frustrating day at work. It's a great outlet to just yell into the void.

Monetary policy is far from the whole picture here. Global policy makers are dealing with about 25% of the global population being lifted from poverty over the last several decades and their increased consumption and wages are supply-side inflationary in ways not easily (or appropriately) reversed. The impact isn't just economic. Inflation is destabilizing (Venezuela, Argentina, Turkey).

The west invested heavily in manufacturing and resource extraction in the developing world for profit (mostly) and virtue (slightly) and inflation was always the likely outcome.

The only alternative to a global recession is step changes in productivity that relieves supply side pressure. Historically, those advancements can emerge quickly, but they are usually slow to propagate.

This is just some weird keyword spam the seller has added. I have one of those and there is no Xenith, Zenith, Zero or COOX branding on them, Just Wyse. I ran it as a light ssh server with an external USB disk for extra storage. Upgraded the internal 44pin ATA flash disk to 8GB and it ran Debian.
Yes fair point.

However WSL2 is just a heavily disguised Hyper-V virtual machine with lots of weirdness around it rather than a proper NT subsystem.
While this is true, the stakes are higher which I think acts as a balancing mechanism.

The traditional entertainments always have a profit-motive. They cannot publish anything too insane as they worry it might unduly effect profits. So there’s at least some gatekeeping and some critical apparatus that is not quite peer review but that at least provides some critical filter and dampening mechanism, even the most morally deplorable entertainers often tried to keep the unsavory aspects of their lives off the stage because they understood the potential dangers of alienating audiences once the truth of their morales came to the surface.

The internet has a far different structure and the motives for creators differ. A profit motive still exists, but other factors are more prevalent. In fact, I’d argue that the internet has allowed views previously considered more fringe to make their way into the more rigid systems of traditional television etc. since the success of radical views on the internet has convinced the traditional media that such radical views are not in fact a harm to profit motive but may actually increase profits (you can see this most clearly in the increasing radicalism of the views expressed by political television pundits, who by the way, often go so far as to reference views espoused online)
When you're selling something unique, its worth is whatever somebody will pay for it. Figma is worth $20B because:

1) Adobe can afford $20B,
2) there were other bidders to whom Figma was worth something substantial but not quite $20B.

It's the same logic that made WhatsApp worth $19B in 2014 to Facebook specifically. Others were interested, but one buyer was really determined to have it.

I've repeated this multiple times already but one way to stay compliant and get to use a laptop for work and play is to use bootable hard drives.

This keeps everyone happy. Employers are happy to be compliant and employees are happy to use their laptops for gaming machines on the Weekend or even vice versa. It may be against company policy but not against GDPR or PCI or Tax Laws.

I have two external drives -- one bootable one and time machine backup. I've been doing this for years -- works on all my machines mac OS as well as Windows and Linux. People expect problems with SIP or performance or something etc but I haven't had them.

So bring your own SSD is the way forward.
> While poker does have a significant element of chance in a given hand, it's no accident that top players consistently make more money over the long run.

That's a good point about the cash game format.

But tournament format often forces players into multiple all-ins over the course of the tournament. This leads to a much more luck based outcome.

So does X.

This is legitimate though, the X protocol has no support for any kind of bitmap compression and it can sometimes be pretty painful. Though internets getting faster and faster too so it isn't necessarily a big deal especially since it does have bitmap caching and some display-side rendering capabilities, but it sure would be nice if you could send other formats on the wire.
Alumni preference is racist at lots of schools, since they were segregated in living memory and the chain of alumni admitted with special preference can't go back to a person of excluded race before the desegregation of the school.

I wouldn't think it would be helpful to lose weight, the issue really is that turning fat stores into calories is quite slow (for how many calories he is consuming) and it can't be relied on as a source of energy so you just end up more tired I think.

You need some amount of weight for muscle to push your body forward and I don't know that there is a big aerodynamic or energy advantage to sacrificing weight for that.
Author here. Many were! I noticed nothing original, and my direct question was only part of the picture. It was striking to me how quickly he started making things disappear after I asked, though, and so far as I can tell the timing is consistent specifically with that question being the immediate precipitating factor.

Not with the shit internet service we currently have. The bandwidth cost is the gatekeeper propping up youtube etc. If I try to serve anything with consumer internet service my pipe will clog or I will get shoved over to business class internet service. The "business class" internet service will soon choke also.

Of course it's true. Look at some of the top post on HackerNews right now:

- Tillitis Key – Mullvad spin-off inspired by measured boot and DICE

- A Microfluidic D-subminiature Connector (2013)

- Unicode character “ꙮ” (U+A66E) is being updated

- Why Adobe still can’t figure out Flash on WASM?

Tell me who gives a single fuck about this kind of ultra-niche topics, to the point of making them reach the front page of HN? Insane people.
Hehe, love it, let me know if you liked it.

I remember a blogger who used to dim her screen as much as possible when writing, which was one of the ideas that inspired me to build this thing. This helps with maintaining flow, but doesn't really touch the overall structure of the text.
I don't understand why this character needs to exist given that, at least according to the author, it has only been seen once in the wild, and it's semantically identical to another more widely used character.

I'm glad I'm not responsible for unicode. Clearly I have the wrong mindset for it.
Agree. 50x ARR is insane. But when it starts hitting pricing pressure on adobe it starts to make sense. It’s all in how the acquisition was framed.

It's great to see more server support for JMAP, but the client support doesn't seem to be catching up. Neither Thunderbird nor K-9 support it yet, and I don't know of any mainstream client that does, really.

As I user of Fastmail I don't care that much yet, as I can use the Fastmail app and any of the IMAP apps, but if I were to move to a self-hosted solution, that would be a big deal.
This is my exact use case. I disabled federation, hand out account tokens to my kids' friends so they can make their own accounts (public registration is disabled). I used that popular Synapse Ansible deploy project, and deployed it on the cheapest Hetzner VPS.

The original comment asking for a source was quoting an assertion that Proof of Stake blockchains, as opposed to Proof of Work ones, "are all highly centralized".

So given the context, I was implicitly asking for what distinguishes Proof of Stake from Proof of Work to make the former centralized where the latter is not.

I had the estimate at 400 calories in my post (which is on the high end for sure), which is what I know some Ultraman and ultramarathoners aim for in at least the first half or bike legs of their race. I believe 200 is enough for amateur runners, but I know professionals really load up since the calories from carbs are definitely more efficiently utilized than fat stores.

<< But shortly after, when all inefficient companies bankrupt,

Eh. It sounds great in theory, but in practice ( including in US, where all the more recent crises shown ) inefficient companies get saved if they are sufficiently connected or 'important' enough to the system writ large.

I am not defending the practice, but I want to point to obvious flaw in the analysis since it diverges from reality somewhat ( I just noticed the inclusion of government involvement ).
There are different programs in the US as well, including competitive ones which will cover the full cost of college (some do have income limits, but they are generally quite high). Generally when we are talking college costs we aren't talking about the subset of competitive programs in the US that don't have a cost.

For example of the difference, look at the per capital rate of school students going to university in both countries. It can be a bit messy to compare because you need to break down different routes. University not being the same as trade school which is not the same as apprenticing, though sometimes these will be lumped together in different ways. Last time I looked it up the acceptance criteria to get into university in Germany was stricter than the US. Not necessarily if you are looking at the really good schools, but those often have scholarships that work on a combination of academics and need based, but for a degree in general.

There is also the issue of in state vs out of state in the US, where an out of state can be double or more the price compared to instate. Rarely is out of state a requirement, it is a personal preference and one that costs greatly if the difference isn't covered by a scholarship.

The final comment

>"Edit: I guess my tone-projection is off. A lot of people seem to be put-off by my usage of the word "insane." I intended that as tongue-in-cheek and did not mean to imply that any of them literally have diagnosable mental illnesses. I have a lot of respect for all of the individuals I listed and they seem like nice people, I was just trying to make a point about how unusual their behavior is."
They didn't reverse engineer anything. They made false assumptions based on nothingness.
Totally understandable, honestly I use it to vent frustrations and yell at companies.
Pros: existing tools and knowledge transfer over, d-subs have been field proven and plenty of experience exists for folks who worked with them.

Cons: it is now possible to connect microfluidic connections to electrical, or use the wrong sort of couplers, or a bunch of other issues that pose risks to new uses and existing usages of electrical d-sub connections.

Like, imagine if they used regular Edison power cables, or HDMI etc. Sometimes there are good reasons not to use existing standards.
As with many of these "laboratory" technologies, there is not much an "end-user" would see of it.

Microfluidics is being used in large scales in biological labs for sample analysis etc., so yes, there are practical applications but none that any random household needs or could even make any use of :)

Well it requires users of your code to put a half dozen extra JVM args just to get your code (such as Java-based database like Apache Ignite) to run.

You can see how such features are not super popular to the extent of widespread non-adoption of Java 11 even 10 years after its release.
I always enjoyed chess when I was young. I, like many here, enjoyed a fairly intellectual circle in my youth, so most everyone was familiar with the game and its rules, and so I got to play a lot. I wasn't terribly interested in the rote memorization of propitious move and traditional countermove; once my opponents began to make comments like "ah, the Tanzanian salchow" upon my innocently moving a rook forward or whatever, I turned to other pursuits.

It's possible to return chess to that realm of pure thought over memorization -- chess variants!

I suggest Duck Chess [0], whose inclusion of an invulnerable shared piece which each player moves on their turn (the "duck") renders most chess strategies incoherent.

A less formal alternative coalesced in university -- get a bunch of (inebriated) people together to watch the (inebriated) chess match. Their role is to loudly count down from 5. It is in this time that you must make your move, or your opponent will make it for you. The combination of time-crunch and looseheadedness prevents the recall of how castling works, let alone more complex gambits.

> I think the US (and Canada) just needs to ride the tide and let all the other boats sink.

Look at USD FX rates. The US may be able to purchase resources and goods abroad at more favorable exchange, but who can afford to buy US exports as the USD rockets skyward? And what is the logical follow-on to unobtainable USD units of trade? Substitutes that China, for example, are more than delighted to support if it means they exert (even) more control over the global monetary system.
> I am not arguing race.

Well this thread is about about "racism in academia". This is the elephant in the room. Racist policies in college admissions. You're trying to argue that it's somehow off topic when it's blatant and the so called anti-racist activists defend racism when it's targeted at groups they don't care about.
I just think about how many of them like to be "edgy".

Organizational tools can help with #2, and can also help break down tasks to be less daunting, which can help sometimes help #1, but only if the executive disfunction is being managed with other means like medication.

Yeah, I was disappointed that the analogy to poker was so weak ("both make people worry about cheating"). I think there's a more interesting argument to make, that folks grinding their way through middle levels of chess expertise have to wade through a noisy metagame of opponents playing out canned strategies that depend on whether their opponent recognizes the weird trick or not. Fool's mate is as old as chess, but the availability of computers to find deeper tricks and new suckers to play them against is new!
