This is HN, where part of the culture is sharing articles which require technical knowledge to understand. And where many of the comments help make sense of them.

The article is not vague, it is actually very precise and focused. It uses a technical vocabulary which is appropriate for its intended audience.
To a German such boasting would sound like you are an embellishing loudmouth who at best likes to sniff his own farts and at worst makes stories up. Would you want a Zapp Brannigan as a colleague? Such stories can be better told in the personal interview, where the recruiter can judge the validity better.
My favorite strategy is to race to tech level 3, start building as many champion cavalry as possible plus enough temples to heal them and then bleed off the enemy army/buildings with quick raids. Eventually you can beat any number of siege/elephant units that might come your way. Full towers, fortresses and upgrades are essential though.

Building a new civic center near the enemy territory early is a good way to bleed off enemy workers. Same for ships on level with some water.
Go dislike has many different reasons, and some of them are semantics - e.g. the way nil interfaces work, or the dance you have to do to add an item to an array. And then there's the whole issue with FFI, which has nothing to do with syntax, and everything with Go threads being "special".
They're not under any contract or obligation to make any promises about their software, so I'd say NO.
Ask HN: What additional display do you use with your MacBook Air m2?
I would like to buy a display that matches the pixel density of the macbook but that is larger.
Can anybody recommend me one?
I disagree.

We rarely have that reaction to obscure accents of dialects of English we're unfamiliar with. Usually the instinct is to laugh or belittle.

Yet we hear this and we all know instinctively that it's a higher form than what we currently speak.

Surely there's a reason for that.
I think if Golang would have been invented a couple of years later it def would have had sum types. But then, Rust probably wouldn’t have had its insane tooling that is most likely inspired by golang

I don't know really anything about LBJ but different people come from different backgrounds. My father was raised that it was not important to close the door while pooping and he didn't. It wasn't a power play. It was just normal to him. Both his parents did it.
The only app that doesn't need an update 2-3 years later is one that runs on a VM.
would make sense, but the two look quiet different?
I have once tested an electric piano that was using binaural audio (so you have to use headphones for the experience). I have to say, this was the most realistic sound I have heard from an electric piano, because spatially it made sense. I had the impression that the sound was coming from the piano, not from my headphones, and this made a huge difference.

However, the feel (the touch) of a grand piano is still miles ahead of modern full fledged electric pianos, and I would prefer any day to play on a grand piano than an electric with all its gimmicks.
Go doesn't have bytecode interpreter or JIT, but it still needs a VM, if only for green threads.
That is not correct though, at least not in the Copenhagen interpretation.

The reason is that the quantum state is supposed to be a complete representation of the system right now. It doesn't quantify our ignorance, it should actually correspond completely to the physical state of the system (check the PBR theorem for a strong justification of this)

Therefore, according to Copenhagen, the state really is collapsed for the other system upon measurement of the first. There is spooky action at a distance, because the entangled state does not encode our lack of information or ignorance, it encodes an actual physical thing.

The most common example is two entangled spin systems A and B in an initial state:

|psi> = 1/sqrt(2) (|upA upB> + |downA downB>)

if you then measure the spin of A and find it to be |upA>, you then know system B is in |upB>

BUT it wasn't |upB> all along, because |psi> before measurement is the complete physical state of the quantum system. |psi> is not an epistemological construct, it is an ontological one. It does not correspond to our lack of knowledge of the system, but the actual physical system.

The issue here is "Soviet" is not a given name but (supposedly) a mode of government.

One like Democracy and Republic and the literal translation is "Council".

So, you can surely be democratic outside of (hypothetical) Democratic Union, much like you may be soviet outside of USSR.

Persistent sessions are not a problem – not having any security could be (E.g. Auto logout on location or IP change, and especially two-factor authentication on various actions), but that would still be depending on the user and various circumstances. The lowest common denominator should not be defining our security practices.

Point is, it is a huge bad practice to automatically log people out without their consent to do so, and it is one of the most horrific annoyances on the sites that do it.

I am not even sure I want that kind of bullshit on my banking accounts, since they got two-factor authorization on account actions anyway. I can not count the amount of times I have lost something I was writing because a site logged me out before I could finish what I was doing.
My most pro game experience was Battlefield 2 and I'd go on a public 64 player server and score most kills with only the knife. Thing is: My team mates and other pros were capable of doing the same. No pro would accuse us of cheating, just the average Joe's.
Best is this system is broken. There is always a VoIP provider that works with the selected service.

And there are always also many services where you can rent non VoIP numbers for a single SMS for pennies.

If paying $0.05 is a form of security we could just charge for registrations as well.
Hating an utter annoyance that expands over whatever I'm trying to do in a cheap and cheesy way that literally everyone I know hates too is "insane"?

Well okay then.
Learn what you want to learn, and be honest about it. It doesn't sound like you're looking to learn Linux because you want to but feel like you ought to. Well that's not going to inspire you at all! Park that for later, Linux will wait for you.

One thing I will say as someone who habitually has broken install after install learning OS's, Applications, toolchains and the rest of it, keep the important stuff away from the OS, even if it's only backups.
What I mean about that is assume today is the day that you realise that you have to wipe the disks and install your OS from fresh, so that being the case make sure you can get back to work quickly and without massive pain.

If you do that you'll find that your a hell of a lot more comfortable with 'hmn, haven't seen that big red button before, what does that do?' and subsequently nuke the whole OS. That's not a bad thing, that's investigation, analysis and good old fashioned curiosity.

Final thought.... You'd be suprised at what your machine can do. Ok, so right now VM's are off the table, but I'd wager that future you will have a different perspective. I'm not saying 'guh, go do VM, you must learny the machines that is virtual', I'm saying learn at your own pace, go git gud just by doing and see how it all looks afterwards.

..also, break shit, but break shit in an environment where you can laugh about it, not cry.

> Dennard scaling has broken down, which eliminates many of the real benefits from scaling further for chips that are not almost entirely memory.

Weird; this suggests we get real benefits from scaling for memory while it is my impression that SRAM has seen smaller density improvements than logic circuitry in the recent scaling down from 7nm to 5nm and 3nm.
Light travels much slower (~1.5x slower) on a fiber optic, due to the refractive index (~ 1.5) of the fiber.

Ah, gotcha, but why just not use them for most of those things if you don't want to? I don't get it.

Use Firefox, use your ISP DNS or CF or another service, use Apple TV or Amazon TV, use an iPhone, and don't automate your doorbell, thermostat, or home lighting (or if you do use another service).
I find this particularly with UI frameworks with a large, ever-changing surface. Adobe Flex was absolutely terrible for it. iOS has some of the same issues. Trying to work out why some text has reflowed and bumped down your controls may not technically be "code happening to you", but it sure feels like it.
Or it won't, because electricity generation is not free and we acted as if energy from fossil fuels is endless and doesn't have any side effects.

I chose sources that are either non-Christian, or their subsequent Christian modifications are well identified (i.e., Josephus' Antiquities), because if you're wanting to make a case for the historical Jesus, then it's best to avoid as much bias as is possible.

And I'm very interested indeed in Crossan and Dunn's sources, sadly Wikipedia doesn't yield any light on this.

The historical sources I mentioned can be found in more detail on newadvent.org, whatever else you think of the Catholics, they compile a humdinger of a wiki, and are probably the experts on Christology and the historical Jesus.

TIL what B matter is called.

I, like most of the rest of this thread, prefer the brevity. That people skim the longer text isn't a feature, it's a symptom of the problem that the author included too much irrelevant bullshit.
What? Go’s syntax is great. But it lacks sum types.
If you want to know key details about a story Axios's format seems obviously superior. If you need more details, you're equipped with the fundamentals so you can go find them. If you read the news just for the pleasure of consuming the written word, slipping into it as your bath, as it were, then sure, you probably won't like Axios.

I think this article is a good example. I read half of it or maybe two thirds, didn't understand where the author was going, and backed out. If the author had written in an Axios style I would have made it his point.

I've always had a deck that was famous for being able to drop a Craw Wyrm (4GG) 6/4 in turn 3. Later, the Yavimaya Wyrm (4GG) 6/4 Trample meant I had to replace that iconic card. Much more recently, I bought my son a box with cards, and his deck has an Aggressive Mammoth (3GGG) 6/6 Trample but gives all your other creatures trample too!

Modern creatures are just so much better than anything we had back then. But my red/blue direct damage deck is suddenly unfair with its lightning bolts and cheap counterspells.
I think they’re referring to the fact that, within the system apps that Microsoft controls, there are multiple generations of UI design. Like, last I checked I think Device Manager still has a Windows 98-ish look (there are many others).

Look at the 'problem' from the company's perspective. They're making bank. They're not losing staff. They might not even know you're unhappy. Why would they change anything?

If you want things to change you have to act.

Probably because it sounds different, even foreign. If that was their language reality, they'd be out praising other way of speaking -- perhaps contemporary simplicity. You know, the greener grass is always where you're not.
Let me just point out that you think communism is an "attribute" that a shop could have, like OOP is your guiding philosophy for political structure. My gut tells me you aren't splitting hairs between, say, Marxism and positivism when you're spewing this shit from your mouth.

If the workers live in the town - which is highly likely - they can have (substantial, since the town is small) influence in city council.

City council manages the shop.

You could say, then, that the workers can have substantial influence over the management of this shop.

Note that this influence is much more direct than the worker -> shareholder line. Note that this influence is given as a matter of citizenship, rather than wealth.

Is this communism? Maybe not. After all, the goods that the workers stock aren't produced by them (after all, circles don't exist). Political and economic theory is far from solved. Again, if you think communism is an "attribute", I don't really want to engage in further discussion. Doubly so because of your latent assumption that the most widely used definition is the most correct one.
This is a farce. All credibility has been lost when you have to scan players like you scan people when entering a plane.

Chess is touted as an ingenious game when it is little more than a brute-force search with simple prune and huge amounts of memorization.

I would argue that most GMs would easily play up to 200-300 elo points below their current level with little to no practice. But they spend decades of their lives memorizing and memorizing just to get the highest rating they can. And it is diminishing returns --- if you spent 1000 hours memorizing to get 100 points, the next 1000 hours will only get you 50 points. And when you reach your peak --- be prepared to keep memorizing forever just to stay there and inevitably drop when you reach a certain age.

What a waste of intelligence.

It is telling that nobody is pushing for chess960. This would greatly devalue memorization and make chess a brute-force-search-with-simple-prune game once again, as it was meant to be. But that's exactly the problem; if you are at the top after doing all this memorization you don't want to throw it away! In fact, your memorization might be better than your calculation in which case you will be surpassed by other players.
What is hard about Java? It is a very small language.
I was an author for a couple of alternative desktop shells for Windows 9x.

I think Windows 95 was the first time I encountered support changing the desktop shell (then via the ‘shell’ property in one of Windows’ ini files). I remember some of the main uses cases were:

1. Restoring the Windows 3.x progman (Program Manager) shell

2. Bespoke UIs for educational systems in schools and colleges

3. Bespoke UIs for locked down graphical terminals, like kiosks.

The shells I wrote were purely aimed at families though. Designed to make the single user OS a little more like a multi user platform. Windows 95 was pretty terrible when it came to different family members using the same computer.

It was fun times but I honestly don’t miss Windows 9x one but.
In case you are interested, I blogged about it last year: https://thenewstack.io/kubernetes-will-revolutionize-enterpr...

> Quantum Mechanics has been aggressively and extensively tested against measured observations of reality and has not yet found a discrepancy with it

That isn't true. Here's a discrepancy: the universe appears to be following the laws of general relativity, but quantum mechanics does not account for this and returns wrong answers.

Here's another discrepancy: quantum field theory predicts an energy density of the vacuum off by 120 orders of magnitude of the observed value.

"All models are wrong, but some are useful." But it's disingenuous to claim we haven't even found any discrepancies and that it appears to be a perfect model.
It's a cultural difference.
You would be seen as someone who sells themselves too strongly.
There's also a general disbelief around extreme individualism.
You can't possibly have done all that alone, you still had a network of people around you. And even if you were indeed instrumental to reaching that goal, boasting like that shows that you are not a good sport that acknowledges colleagues and carry them along and up.

I think one of the biggest cultural clashes that Americans experience abroad, especially in Europe, is discovering that life isn't a constant sales pitch to sell yourself.

Re Certainty.

I'm pretty sure if you do work, as contractually agreed, the contract requires you be paid for that work.

It's just a contract agreeing rates for work done, not a contract guaranteeing work will be done.
Sorry but this sounds like "now draw the rest of the owl" to me... How do you find leads? How do you market products to them? How do you get them to say a word of feedback? How do you close the deal? How do you retain the customer?

I am trying hard for the past decade but all of these still go right around my head.
I was a sales engineer and I can assure you if your product is sufficiently innovative, nobody will have a budget for it, so this is an expected objection and every sales person would be trained to address it and they either were not paying attention during training or failed to qualify the lead, eg trying to sell Oracle DB to Larry and Sergey while they were still in a garage... of course they have no budget... not yet.
> Not GP, but what bothers me is that this attitude does not take into account what most cpp programmers actually end up doing: Unless there's somebody at the top of the organization that can set the "right" rules at the start of the project, a novice won't know to use the "right" feature.

Unless we're discussing single-developer projects, you'd be hard-pressed to find a single project that does not employ any sort of code reviews,where more seasoned developers have a say in each and every change that's proposed.

If a project is manned by inexperienced novices, the language is not to blame for the developer's regrettable choices.

> The result: a codebase with every possible way of doing a thing, which is strictly worse than one where only one way is used, even if it's not the prettiest.

This is outright incompetence, as it violates basic software engineering principles like the principle of least surprise.

If a project repeatedly surprised developers with multiple fancy ways of doing the same thing and developers don't put time aside to fix that, the tech stack in use is not a factor in this problem.
Depends where someone comes from. If they are from a weakly or dynamically typed language (C, python, Javascript) then Go is quite ok. If you're coming from Haskell, OCaml, or Rust, then sure Go might be frightening.
8-bit home computers often (unintentionally) output noise over the audio output while the processor was busy. You could gain even more insight by putting an AM radio next to them. With practice you could get a rough idea of which part of your program the computer was in.

Of course, we're talking about processor speeds <10MHz, you couldn't do this today, but maybe the same principle applies.

The article didn't really explain why expanding universe is in any kind of a conflict with unitary. The fact that a randomly added photon would become a black hole in the past isn't convincing since one can't just add a particle out of nowhere.
