> A generation of young people whose education was blighted by COVID lockdowns, will face a closed labour market.

But shortly after, when all inefficient companies bankrupt, they'll wake up in the booming economy, finding places in perspective businesses.

Crisis is good for the economy in the long term. I only worry that governments won't allow young trees to grow after the forest's fire.
I think this is overhyped as damaging and negative. In fact, GTA VI seemed to be on the path to becoming the “new Duke Nukem Forever,” which is no longer the case. Everything I’ve seen from the leak indicates this will be a really great game with the same cinematic qualities and cultural relevance that remains somewhat unique to this franchise.

It’s not great from a creative standpoint to have parts of your narrative out there for inspection and criticism, true, but from a commercial perspective the timing of this leak (weekend of Tokyo Game Show) could not be better. More people are talking about this than whatever announcements took place at TGS.
Everything is bad for the poor though. Rising rates fixes inflation, but reduces employment. As it turns out, unemployment is bad for the poor.

Lowering rates improves employment, but comes with inflation risks. As it turns out, the poor also hate inflation.

Screwed if you do, screwed if you don't. Dual mandate says that the Fed aims for as good employment as possible, while also aiming at a targeted 2% to 3% inflation rate.

> Especially core inflation.

EDIT: My understanding is that core-inflation isn't about "good or bad for people", its about "good or bad for statisticians". Food/Oil prices move too quickly and are therefore bad measurements. Too noisy. If food prices go up or down 10%, is it because the economy is bad? Or is it because of a terrible storm that wiped out a chunk of crops somewhere?

Ignoring food means we ignore these volatility / storm / disease issues. Oil is similar. A war started in Europe, and lo-and-behold, oil prices went crazy, both upwards and downwards. There's no amount of economic policy you can do to predict a war.
yeah, the ignorant tend to misunderstand and incorrectly infer intent.
Someone should probably break it out to The Atlantic that preparation was a thing far before engines existed, whole books have been written analysing openings and positions which best players have been memorising for as long as the game exists and players have always worked with a whole team to best plan before facing a serious adversary.

The article is a bit silly. I had the feeling reading it that the writer has little understanding of how classical chess is played, nor of poker for what it’s worth.
Protesting on the road takes time and effort.

Tweeting merely requires a toilet break at work.

Once I started viewing all online media as the equivalent of the graffiti on toilet stalls the world started making sense again.
In the case of Germany, they invented a new currency worth a lot more and allowed exchange at a gov't-determined rate (they actually did this a few times).
TL;DR:

The dominance of computers has made human creativity redundant; optimal strategies for beating other humans ironically involve suboptimal moves that may have a psychological dimension, similar to poker. [This isn't actually a remotely new strategy though computers have influenced human play.]

Although the article doesn't directly reference it, Hans Niemann in his emotional interview reacting to the unevidenced accusations of him cheating against Carlsen pointed out that one "weak" move against another opponent in the tournament had been chosen by him specifically because of it's psychological pressure.

Update: Niemann interview link, as requested:

WASM is the new flash. It has the right level of abstraction it's properly developed in the open (yes, big corps are at the table, but still) and it's not tied to any high level programming language.

If you are missing the Flash developer experience, then you are still in luck, we are going to see many options for WASM as a target.

> They'll take your NYT (for example, but far from the only one) comments taken down if you say this, no matter how polite you are.

That's factually untrue. I read comments in the NYT and come across comments like that all the time. Their moderation policy is very clear, and it's not what you describe.

And your examples about Biden and Wuhan are red herrings and have nothing to do with this conversation.

> In your house, yes. In your mall, in California, no.

That's factually untrue. In a mall, in California, you absolutely can moderate speech. You can't kick people out based on protected classes, but you have the right as a business owner to kick people out based on any other reason. As you need to be able to, as people can be disruptive. And extreme speech that is clearly audible/visible to others absolutely falls in the category of disruptive. A shop in a mall is not a public square, nor should it be.
It's not a new tool, it's just the evolution of the old Flash Editor.
It always depends...

If you are worried about it, just don't put every job experience on your resume; only keep the ones that you think would be a benefit. And if that creates some glaring spots in your work timeline leave dates off too. And if asked in an interview for a timeline you can explain a lot of it. But as always, I would recommend you leave out the negative aspects as to why you left (like the racism and such). It is usually a red flag to future employers when you bad mouth previous workplaces -- justified or not.
My fingers love adding the e's on the end of any worde that can conceivably take them. Also have that problem with any word that can take an "ly" even if I don't meanly it.

Fixed, thanks.
There’s a ton of core curriculum stuff to work on though. So you have some time to figure it out if you’re knocking out the core AND realize you need to decide on something in a year or 2. Use that time wisely to explore. And talk to other peoples a couple steps ahead of you.

If you think you know find out what, if any, the “weed out” classes are. I thought I wanted to be a dentist but organic chemistry kicked my ass (ok, took more effort than I cared to give it at the time). It was a wake up that if I didn’t have the grit to get through that, I probably was setting myself up for failure.
When I ran (casually), there seemed to be three non-boring factors:

* Running through the city, there's the changing scenery, and also being very careful about constant tripping hazards, cars, pedestrians.

* Running on a treadmill or in an empty university track lane, you can hit a sustainable pace in which you can just zone out and think.

* The exertion, and trying to manage that and not be injured, while keeping going, wasn't pleasant, but it wasn't boring.

When a combination of fatigue and boredom did strike, on a track, I'd stretch the slow jog to the nearest lap mark, then suddenly sprint another half lap just by telling myself I could and this was the time for it, and then be glad everything worked and didn't explode. (I'm not sure this was a good idea, physically, but it was emotionally reassuring and symbolic.)
I remember the hype behind that one! "pure DOM animation in 60fps buttery smooth" or something along those lines, right? They had that periodic table demo.
Let’s not frame this as trust them vs don’t, it’s trust them vs trust your ISP. On one hand, you have a company that seems to be doing as much as possible to commit to privacy, and on the other, a company that straight up tells you they’re monitoring you and sending the data all over the place. Does that scale really tilt differently if you point out there’s a non-zero chance the first company is secretly just as bad as the second?
Being a multiple records holder undoubtedly helps a lot.
Boomers / GenX can simply buy TIPS / I-Bonds if they're worried about inflation though.

Honestly, given how much they're invested into the stock market, raising interest rates will hurt their 401k / retirement accounts the most. Its not like the stock market or bond-market likes it when rates go up.

The job of an investor is to navigate these waters as the tides of the economy rise and fall. If you're in the wrong spot at the wrong time, you can lose everything. Alternatively, you keep your wealth spread out in a large basket of different goods: Stocks, Bonds (including I-bonds/TIPS), Cash, Real Estate, and hope for the best.
I don't know what software this is using, but that could be the history software considering entire edits as single deltas. Editors using CRDT or OT will commonly compress deltas like this.

This is great news for a great tool. Mapbox more or less abandoned all their open source repos, which in turn has spawned a number of forks. It’s nice too see one fork that seems like people can “rally” around and collaborate on. It also doesn’t hurt to have the author of the tool taking the lead again!
> This is good because it prevents populism and because it creates voters who are able to critically evaluate public policy.

I certainly do not believe in the slightest that humanities graduates can “critically evaluate public policy” any better than, say, STEM graduates. In fact, they’re probably worse. They were the ones pushing Marxism on Americans back in the day and similar insanities today, like eg. demonizing and defunding the police. I believe that it makes them negative externality.

Now, you may of course disagree. But the point is that there is no agreement that they are a public good.
That being said, they always had this power. It just used to be selectively chosen on the ground interviews with random people. It was slower and much more expensive, but it was there.
I've had a good deal of difficulty getting enterprise Java devs on board with functional Java approaches.

In many ways introducing Kotlin was easier because it was clear it was a new language, and they had more openness and excitement for learning a new language.
Which interview was this? Link/timestamp?
This may be adequate advice for ill-prepared students, but is it universally good advice?

First, many students have a home life not conductive to study, or outright hostile. Traditional four year college provides a place where most things taken care of so you can focus on your studies. There are often enormous opportunities to find new friends that are much closer to your mental capabilities and career aspirations.

Second, universities have a wealth of opportunities that a community college simply lacks. For those who are motivated, there is research in all fields, which a student can help with. There are all sorts of work study programs, etc. If you're after work experience relevant to one's career, or a way to explore various careers, a university is really hard to beat. However, just because there is opportunity, does not mean every student is prepared. Professors want prepared students.

Third, most state universities have smaller class sizes for their honor students. If you are not honors student, it still is not hard to find out which paths are less full. For example, a 100 level socioscience survey that fulfills one's core requisite for computer science might also be filled with a 200 level class (having no prereq) in a more specialized class, such as pre-hispanic mesoamérica. You may have to work harder, but you'll also learn more.

Finally, doors of most professors are open. You just have to step though it. This personalized attention and direction are crucial to education. Most students simply do not know to do this, and hence miss the most important aspect of the process. Professors love to help when they meet a student who is driven to learn. By the time you graduate, you should have a half dozen professors who know you well enough that they will write a letter of recommendation. Those personalizes letters are
the ticket that open doors, to grants, further study, or to their professional colleagues in industry.
It would not be surprising if the NSA is able to design and source whatever ASICs they need. That's a capability that would be directly applicable to attacking encryption in general.

How about a severe and widening disconnect between the people paying for the loans, the people guaranteeing the loans, and the measurable value received by the recipient?
US lawyer pay is weirdly bimodal. First year associates at top firms can make 2-5x more than partners at the median firm. There doesn't seem to be a middle ground in pay, either.

I also take issue with the headline. "Tyranny" is when you have no choice. That is not the case with Twitter. First of all, there is the choice of using Twitter. Secondly, there is the choice of who to follow on Twitter. I would hazard a guess that "tyranny" is not a thing that most Twitter users experience on Twitter.
Yes, but that tiny gap is no more the root cause than any other one of many other decisions that preceded the catastrophe.
The article doesn't explain what it means for layoffs to be "anti-racist". That doesn't even make sense.

Layoffs are supposed to be about cutting expenses, and have nothing to do with anyone's skin color. The very mentioning of race in the context of layoffs is itself racist.

We've had many years of 0% rates and 2%ish inflation. A return to that status quo ante isn't exactly crushingly tight monetary policy. But perhaps inflation will fall before we hit 8%.

Well, Helidon Nima is getting a Loom-based implementation; so you'll get to keep performance without the reactive headaches.
That ambiguity is where a judge has to use their judgement. So it's interesting that they started with the assumption that they had to make a mutually exclusive choice, but didn't defend that assumption.
>> While I tend to agree with this sentiment, it's worth noting that it takes orders of magnitude more effort to fight against lies and misinformation than it does to create them. As such, letting everyone say whatever they want and expecting the lies to be exposed/countered by the truthspeakers is destined to fail. We've seen this exact thing play out on every social network.

> It takes less effort to uncover a public lie than to uncover a hidden truth.

> Alternatively worded, something about sunlight being the best disinfectant.

That's a slogan, not a truth. For instance: what is "best"? The fastest? The most thorough? Something guaranteed to work, if given enough time?

Even if "best" means it's the "fastest" disinfectant, that doesn't mean it's fast enough to keep up with the infections the op describes.

There's also the question: if you prove something is a lie, will enough people pay attention? A 140 character lie could take pages to debunk. Given enough lies, that page count is going to build up to the point where no one has time for it. And the actual audience of the debunking is unlikely to be a superset of the audience of the lie.
The component responsible for all the notarization nonsense and entitlements enforcement is not SIP, it's AMFI. You can disable it too with a kernel argument, I don't remember it exactly but it's something like "--amfi-get-out-of-my-way". This will reduce the security of your system approximately to that of Windows.
Yes. And your application will get a per device unique primary secret when loaded, which the application then can use for whatever it needs. (Including not using it all all.)

TOTP, FIDO2, PIV, simple touch triggered challenge/response... or something completely different. If it can fit in around 100 kByte RAM when compiled for RV32IMC and not be too computationally expensive, it could be a Tillitis app.

Just to give you some indication, the Ed25519 signer operation in the SSH authentication we showed on stage today takes ~ one second to perform the signing. And we have several ways to improve that we know already.
This is great, and I'm genuinely excited by the prospect of a modern set of tools to replace some of these existing systems which, while rock solid for decades, are beginning to show their age.

I think once things are a bit more settled, I'll be interested in the client end of things... That's something that I didn't see much on the Stalwart website. Yes, I'm sure I could run the same set of tools now, but that seems like a waste of an opportunity.
Documentation, too, needs debugging.
And? Just because the linux ecosystem is fragmented doesn't mean that new software has to be, too.

The fact that developing a new compositor with wayland basically required wlroots to be even feasable for a one-man project is concerning enough. The amount of stuff you have to handle is insane compared to writing your own x-wm.
> people who are not interested at all in truth

This is a good summation of what makes a bad actor but requires information only the bad actor has access to (motive).

I agree with you though.

A good faith actor should be as open minded as they expect their audience to be. A good faith actor asks probing questions and cedes when shown to be incorrect? Has the ability to admit when incorrect?

Bad actors tend to lack the openness that they expect others to have.

This is a completely mistaken use of the word "neoliberal." Neoliberalism refers to a worldview that thinks in terms of market-oriented policies, global trade, privatization, etc. You thinking it has something to do with wokism or OK symbols is a perfect example of the word being used incorrectly.

could be a byproduct of the algo that's recording what he types. Instead of saving the timestamp of each keystroke, it does "every 500ms, save all the characters that have been typed in the last 500ms" or something like that.

To be clear, this is speculation. I haven't actually looked at the code that creates the recording. Just pointing out that the process of recording often alters the recording itself.
Flash Player is still being maintained but only for the Chinese market and that contract expires next year. Adobe AIR is now owned by HARMAN because apparently a bunch of car infotainment systems used it.

Adobe's official answer to Flash on HTML5 was "rewrite your AS3 app in CreateJS and use Animate's HTML5 exporter to export your timeline as a series of bitmap spritesheets". This is not at all what Flash developers needed, but Adobe is a terrible steward of their own platforms, so its what they did.

As a result it forced a lot of Adobe's own customers to jump ship for greener pastures. The game developers jumped to Unity, the web developers to Lottie and GSAP, and the animators to Toon Boom.
Nah that's ridiculous. I am probably somewhere around the average level of accomplishment here and there's a decent chance that you've interacted with my code at some point. I'm also married, have traveled the world, have a kid, and a home of my own. My life experience is way way way ahead of the mod I'm talking about.

And in the grand scheme of HN that's really not that much. We have people who have actual legitimate accomplishments like creating widely used software or founding businesses.

I'm going to presume the typical iPlayer piece is a few minutes long.

At 5 minutes, this is 52 million views, at 10 minutes, about 26 million.

Of course, today is probably somewhat different with BBC livestreaming QEII's funeral, which might translate to several hours of viewing.

<https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-62900500>

Let's say 2 hours per viewer, just to give a plausible estimate. That would be 2 million viewers.
