I think that's one useful way to view it. Math is infinite "mountain" and the higher you get, the rougher the summaries.

One thing I should mention. I have been reading The Great Formal Machinery Works: Theories of Deduction and Computation at the Origins of the Digital Age
by Jan von Plato. One thing I notice is that a lot of mathematicians activity is not proving more and more complex theories but rather, producing a framework that takes a series of complex results and shows them to be much simpler within the framework.

And that's just to say, the organization of math isn't just a matter of simplification for the layman, it's part of the progress of math itself.

Show HN: MVP for a NoCode tool for creating engaging job listings
Hey HN,

Been working on this project for about 6 months and finally finalised the first MVP.

The main motivator for this was to create a cheaper / better alternative aimed for smaller scale businesses who want to stand out and attract better candidates but don't have the capacity to pay $4k+ a year for the other alternatives in the market.

What do you think?
The screenshot of this article contains an interest rate input field. The prompt in that field says "enter the interest rate, i.e. 3.25." The use of 'i.e.' (Latin id est, meaning 'that is') is a common error in such prompts. I think they meant 'e.g.' (exampli gratia) meaning 'for example.'

That aside, the presence of the decimal point raises four somewhat problematic questions: (1) how many decimal places are you going to allow on input? (2) how many decimal places will you display back to the user after they enter more decimal places than the typical user is expected to enter? (3) how many decimal places of the input will the application actually use in such cases? (4) How wide do you make the field to display the interest rate, and what do you do if the user enters something that won't fit there?

If you are writing software that should match the practices of more than one financial institution (bank, finance company, insurer, brokerage house, auditor, government regulator ...), the answers to those questions may be all over the map, and the number input widget probably will make it all an even bigger mess.
Yes? I don't see how helping my fellow citizens, and myself, at a vanishingly, immeasurably small cost to myself is a bad thing.
No, but the treatment I get in Italy vs. in North America is very different, and the utter subservience the North American restaurant culture seems to require reminds me more of powerplays than of focus on food.

> Warren Teitelman originally wrote DWIM to fix his typos and spelling errors, so it was somewhat idiosyncratic to his style, and would often make hash of anyone else's typos if they were stylistically different. Some victims of DWIM thus claimed that the acronym stood for ‘Damn Warren’s Infernal Machine!'.

> In one notorious incident, Warren added a DWIM feature to the command interpreter used at Xerox PARC. One day another hacker there typed delete *$ to free up some disk space. (The editor there named backup files by appending $ to the original file name, so he was trying to delete any backup files left over from old editing sessions.) It happened that there weren't any editor backup files, so DWIM helpfully reported *$ not found, assuming you meant 'delete *'. It then started to delete all the files on the disk! The hacker managed to stop it with a Vulcan nerve pinch after only a half dozen or so files were lost.

I think you're pointing out that sometimes the jerk with leverage is not a large enterprise.

I can stipulate; this is why running companies is hard.

Adversity exists. I don't think it diminishes my assertion that visionaries do, too.
There is far less risk for ongoing expenses. So many times I have gone and paid the up front cost and then not used the product nearly as much or for as long as I imagined and ended up making a huge loss compared to having subscribed or rented it.
I feel like didn't work is a poor argument because you could just counter that it wasn't enough. Presumably at some limit of policing, crime would be largely eliminated (at potentially tremendous cost) but it seems unlikely to me that it wouldn't work.

The frustrations caused by intelligent founders
Wanted to share my deep frustrations with intelligent founders repeatedly trying to bend reality to their own will because "why won't it". They want to hoodwink the world and become the next steve jobs (certainly lust after it). But they refuse to put in an honest year of focussed work that actually contributes to solving the big problems. Everything is quick wins and everything is a kitchen-todo list item to be ticked off.
The intensity of policing in Chicago has varied and hasn't solved the west and south side crime problems. I honestly don't care if Chicago decides to intensify policing. I'm not, like, morally opposed. I just think it's whistling past the graveyard if you can't fix the underlying economic problems. They're getting worse, not better, as all the families with economic mobility in the redlined neighborhoods flee to the south suburbs.
Time for an anecdote. I have recently witnessed a medium large company with a paranoid CEO, obsessed with business security, owning physical servers only for internal needs, hosting every single needed service, hoarding all the data. And just overnight they started switching these services to SaaS based one by one.

Why? Lack of on-premise and offline based software. Consequently, the innovation today is almost exclusive to SaaS based products. On-premise and offline client software is just becoming an optional expensive side-product of every SaaS product.

But it's a pretty logical step forward. As for the value, SaaS eliminates administration, installation, hardware, technical support and security hastle and majorly cuts the costs for a client company. As for the price, we always praise the always blooming software industry, successful startups, awesome jobs with so many perks and benefits, but someone has to pay for it. I think people don't consider that software is just getting very valuable and too expensive to make and it just makes more sense for companies to rent it then to own it forever.
You don't handle localization in the field directly. You let it be "text" and ask your preferred library (which is built by people smarter than you/me) to convert said text to valid number. If it converts then good, now you have a number variable in memory with which you can do whatever. If it fails you pop-up the error message and ask the user to enter a valid number. I find on the fly correction (don't let user type letters, ignore signs, etc) to be confusing to end-user.
In the reddit post about this someone told a story about how they crossed a crime scene like this to make a delivery.

Technically yes you are correct, but the threat model here is similar to someone grabbing a card from you and dipping it into a terminal chip reader without your permission. This is what the PIN part of chip-and-PIN protects against; the chip part (also applicable to EMV contactless) protects against card duplication and transaction replay.

There is a huge difference between this kind of attack and what an attacker can do with the old scheme of magnetic swipe data over RFID. With the former, the only thing an attacker can do is perform a real transaction in that moment; this transaction leaves behind an audit trail tied to a real merchant (the operator of the terminal) and their bank account. An attacker cannot, however, initiate additional payments without accessing the payment card again, and without access to the cryptographic secrets held by the payment service provider, they cannot extract the card number to use for online transactions.

With the latter, it's equivalent to skimming a the magnetic stripe: an attacker can clone the card and reuse it for transactions as often as they'd like for whatever amounts they can authorize. In addition, they will have access to the plaintext card number, which would allow them to use it for online transactions. And absolutely none of this leaves behind an audit trail of how the attacker got your card.
EMV is a very very chatty protocol, basically.
Your comment is somewhat meaningless in the context. But yes, in general, I believe that if you commit or benefit from atrocities, you should be held accountable. Even if it was your grandfather that murdered people and you inherit the wealth he looted, you should at the very least give that wealth back once you realise that it was wrong, especially if the people you looted from are dying from lack of resources.

Also, just in terms of numbers, the British empire was pretty insane in terms of the quantity of people it murdered, both directly and indirectly. The number is much higher than those murdered by the Nazis, even if it happened over a longer period. They should certainly be held accountable, at the very least.

Maybe you should define what redlining means.
Acquisitions are great for founders, not so great for anyone else - especially the customers.
Same in Italy, here Android has 80% market share IIRC, so almost everyone use whatsapp or telegram or both, even iPhone users. SMS are still paid but basically dead.
Those are features of the client - which I would mostly want to switch off, I loathe the Fisher-Price/Anime love child interface style this indicates. The question is what, other than platform standardisation, make this better than any of the alternative messaging protocols? Under the hood, that is. What does it have over e.g. XMPP+OMEMO, Matrix, Signal, Telegram, etc. Had e.g. XMPP+OMEMO been the standard on Android in the way that iMessage is on Apple-things, which one would have been "better"? I think they would have been more or less comparable with XMPP having the advantage of being standardised.
It's DDoS protection that cloudflare can handle, and provide subsidized, that makes it so valuable.

I too am interested in what competing services are available to protect dns / routing from DDoS..

Without cloudflare protecting the server ip / DNS, it only takes a few people using [script name] to essentially make a web site inaccessible (via Denial or Service attacks).

If many people want to brigade and create DDoS against a site it can be impossible for people to use it to communicate with it / through it.

Not sure there is a good / strong enough alternative, and not sure what the average / semi strong alternatives are at this time actually.

When people run away from violence, it is not normal to blame them for an increase in violence in the area they left.

Yes, that's the old pricing model. I'd bet that there are more subscribers on the new subscription model than the old flat-fee model.

Envoy is great, but it's written in C++ instead of Rust, and it feels like such a missed opportunity.

Gang members is not really gang soldiers though, right? With a number that big, I think they must be counting a lot of people who wear a gang's merch/colors/etc, but aren't active combatants. At least I hope so.

They call it Chiraq for a reason.

This is the product of adressing housing wrong and modern segregation. They have a lot of well funded cops, that and prosecutors are responsible, the buck stops there.
Isn't it embarrassing that it was foolish? I think so. Compare with many other polar expeditions that seem to have be carried out in higher professionalism. This was people who had no training in the area (and didn't ensure they had) who went to an adventure they were not ready for. We'd be embarrassed if it happened today, too?
What do you mean by "for the context"? Are you saying that the designers you worked with only ever provided you with desktop designs, no mobile or tablet views? That'd be pretty strange in this day and age. I usually get at least a mobile and desktop view, sometimes also a tablet view in between.

And it's easier to make components responsive these days with auto layout: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bh98SF7OjUk&list=PLXDU_eVOJT...

If you're not getting mobile designs along with larger screen views, well... I dunno what to say. It really should be automatic these days, but you can always explicitly require it from your designers...
And when you join up as covered by Medicare (usually around age 65), you get a second 9 character ID on a card that looks like a Social Security card with the hyphens in the same positions, said ID probably containing both digits and letters (not case sensitive AFAIK).
People didn't run away from violence. They ran away from any neighborhood where Black people were allowed to buy houses. Black people were locked into specific neighborhoods, and were generally not allowed to own their homes and instead locked into rapacious "contracts" for their houses. All commercial investment in the neighborhoods vanished. Generations of families grew up without opportunity or economic mobility, and crime came along with that.

Artists don’t live in ghettos, they live in the edges of gentrification, where it will be nice in a couple years. Still enough crime to keep rents 20-30% cheaper but still enough local consumers and businesses to generate work and growth.

No one opens coffee shops, restaurants, and grocery stores in most gang ridden neighbourhoods that artists look for.
If their organization was legal like NRA which is millions of people that would be something else. A gang is a criminal org so while many carry weapons their main goal is to expand the empire and make money.
The main culprit of torture and executions was that human life was cheap and more or less trivial. A person was born and left to survive by their own devices, each rascal being replaceable by the next. Death was abundant: plague, famine, war, diseases by the bunch. In the back of the minds of the people that watched the grisly slaughter of this boy was perhaps the thought that they would face an even longer and more agonizing demise by any of those natural causes.

Christianity does not condone today acts of barefaced cruelty. But it says that our world was created by God. Thus, either the natural order must be perfect and natural cruelty must be part of it, or He created an imperfect world for us to suffer in it. I don't suppose any loving human being would be okay with either of those statements.
Clouds aren’t really cheap but docker commoditizes hardware to the point the money counters don’t care about productivity. opex over capex.

Not really symbolic reasoning. I'm thinking more along the line of classic ML techniques like Random Forest/GLMs have long been successfully applied to business problems.
I love this! Everyone should keep a list like this (self-hosted). It also makes me a little bit sad, as there are SO MANY books and this shows that a lifetime of reading will only get you to maybe 2000 books.

> By sitting down to rest after the baby stops crying, they can apparently be put into a deep sleep.

It seems stopping crying is a precondition for the "sit and wait" step.
I mean it seems like in the vast majority of cases torture wouldn’t leave a lot of marks at the bone level, which means skeletons of tortured people don’t really look all that different.
I agree it needs more than just police, but I suspect it needs a ton of law and order too.

Fwiw I’ve talked to some very in the know locals, one who owned a ton of liquor stores all around those parts, and the common knowledge is that the police basically don’t have any control and won’t engage on just about anything. It’s essentially run by gangs at this point.
Sounds like crime rate is proportional to the number of McDonalds in the area. Easy fix!
I've found a little trick when my newborn cries or gets unsettled while sleeping.. whenever she makes a noise I just go over and pat her. it moves the gases around and she's settled instantly.

in order to put her asleep I usually just wheel her back and forwards in the pram, taking her over the edge of the rug (for the bump) usually stops her from crying.

When she was really little, I used to have to walk to get her asleep, or do squats while holding her to stop her from crying.

Most of the time, from all of my experiences and from what everyone's told me, they cry for only a few reasons: gas, love, hungry, nappy.
Here's an article that includes a picture of the breaking wheel [1].

> People didn't run away from violence. They ran away from any neighborhood where Black people were allowed to buy houses.

Once again, your logic is somewhat twisted: are you really blaming people that left an area for the violence in that area?

You're effectively saying "White people shouldn't have left because the all-black area becomes crime-ridden", which is obviously nonsense.

When people leave an area, regardless of the reason, you cannot blame the leavers for the area getting more violent.

They're literally not there any more to influence things!

You said you didn't believe OP's friend about being carjacked and the police not giving chase in a certain area. The clearance rate of carjackings and that chase rate are quite low. All that need to exist is a non-zero carjacking rate in that rate for what OP said to be true.

I mean I can easily dig out data about their funding that will not put them even inside the top 20% of the companies in the valley but at this point, given that you lack the competence to distinguish between founders' achievements prior to founding a company and the companies in question being "some of the most well-resourced companies", it's "why bother" with typical AI bros, incompetent at anything they touch.
Many countries can launch satellites - the debris could be from anyone. We should all clean it up together. The USA is the richest and can afford to do it, but it would be more appropriate for this type of thing to be a joint mission.
When and How did a Y Combinator know it had built something people want?
This is probably one of the YC questions that had been imprinted in mind. Been wondering at what point YC hit PMF. Were there any early hiccups and learnings around this.
If your question is "does Gödel Incompleteness have practical applications", my answer is "probably". Not necessarily directly, but indirectly it has inspired much other work.

One of the things it inspired was Turing's work on uncomputable numbers. It turns out that computability and incompleteness are intertwined, which at least I find interesting. And without the "uncomputable numbers" malarkey, I wonder if the Turing Machine formalism would exist (answer, "probably, but maybe looking different and with another name"). And, well, the Halting Problem is essentially Gödel Incompleteness (imagine handwaving here).

As for proof systems, again, the answer is "probably". Knowing that there are true, unprovable, statements in a formalism is something that informs how you approach it, you need to put a limit on how far to go before you say "I don't know" and taht is in and of itself important.

Isn't AT&T/T-Mo a DoJ effort, not the FTC? I don't see the FTC's involvement in your links... were they cooperating behind the scenes somehow?

The Sprint one was also DoJ, according to the wiki.

I get that the FTC on paper is supposed to enforce things like that, but their track record doesn't seem great. It just feels like a zombie agency that used to have teeth a long time ago...

Edit: I guess they've been squabbling for a while: https://www.cnbc.com/2019/09/18/the-ftc-and-doj-are-squabbli... but maybe are trying to work it out? https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2022/01/...
