I would say yes, but not for the reasons written in this article. Yes because there is no agreement in the industry about what constitutes good design. Yes because in the last 10 years, new practitioners don't know--much less follow--the design principles based on decades of research on human information processing. Yes because people trained to design chairs or posters are now "designing" human-computer communication systems. Yes because information architecture is no longer considered; objects are sprayed into applications like paint from an artist's gun, with no thought given to their underlying grammar (objects, actions, characteristics). Yes because Americans, at least, are no longer taught English grammar and don't even know the parts of speech that could help them identify said objects, actions, and characteristics. For all of these reasons, yes--the industry is a shitshow.
I'm not a fan of this player, I don't even play chess.

Still it sounds a bit harsh to me that a child that cheated online can never in his adult life participate in chess tournaments.

If he had cheated as an adult I would have a different opinion.
Right, Snap, somehow similar and also unprofitable social media company is down 67% since April 14 when Musk disclosed his offer. Twitter stock would likely experience similar kind of drop in this period.

The “when are we going to use this” question is about when “we” ourselves will directly use it - not when we will use something that uses it.

I don’t have to use any calculus to get a weather report, etc., because other people do that for me and give me their results - it’s part of their job.

Calculus is indispensable and is used in our everyday life - but most of us won’t use it ourselves, or need to know the specifics, or really even know the broader parts of it.
I don't rely on fuzzy matching, but autocompletion is very good in powershell, not just for command names but also command parameters and even enums for parameters.
Did I miss where cheating online is somehow not as bad as cheating in person? I understand it's harder to cheat in person, but I never thought it was "worse" to cheat in person because it's the worst thing you can do to your opponents in either an online, or an in-person game.

The issue with resale of digital content is that there is no discernible difference between new and used.

Why would anyone ever pay full price for a "new" game if there were "second hand" copies that were completely identical to a new version available for less?

I don't care about EA or Activision losing out on that 10th private jet, but second hand sales would absolutely hurt small creators doing great work.
Yeah. Personally, I really love writing Clojure. But I’ve never run it in production because I have the same reservations. I’d be the overly clever dev in this scenario.

Hi, would love to find a remote scala/zio job.
The "Petro dollar" is a thing because the US sells products petroleum producing states want to buy (and does so in USD). Those are defence kits and investments (financial services).

So the US can just sell the same products to semiconductor producing countries. Taiwan seem like a good candidate to buy weapons for a start...
You would shed $44B pretty fast if the Delaware Chancellor sets an emergency conference with you where she is about to say to you, "I am going to force you to buy this pile of garbage, and a lot more embarrassing shit is going to come out because I'm not going to let you seal the proceedings. Settle so we can all save face here."

Things that are easy for some members of HN crowd are likely not that easy for a 19yo person who's only notable achievement in life so far is being really good at chess (well, presumably). Such software also doesn't explain his OTB results, which are consistent with his online results.
I like that you're asking for the mechanics. Many people just repeat their mantras.

If QE led to inflation quickly and in a simple way, we could have known that long ago. We didn't even have to do it ourselves: Japan did the experiment long before we did.

If you know, please explain it to me.
When you overpay by tens of billions it’s actually 4D chess mind games, apparently.
More like kudos to Musk's lawyers for creating several months' worth of billable hours out of trying to poke holes in a "I agree to buy it sight unseen, no refunds" contract.
I'm not very versed in economics, but can you explain "No inflation is bad because the economy stops."?
Ok. Show me economies that did well with high inflation. Where did that work, where is it working today? Are economists wrong to treat it as an electric third rail?
> This was exactly what I had done to the past few therapists I had seen, and I wasn't trying to be disagreeable or charming or anything. I had simply stated what was my own reality: that I felt that my previous therapists didn't understand me.

I have not read that book, but that doesn't seem to be what Kahneman is talking about? He is talking about people who say "all these therapists have failed me, but YOU are different," like they are trying to charm the therapist. I think the red flag here is people who are turning the session into praise for the therapist, whereas the normal reaction when the session is going well would be to keep the focus on yourself so you can finally get some progress.

Also note that you can only say "all previous therapists misunderstood me except you" to one therapist. Anyone after that would effectively be the second. Granted, it's demoralizing, but it IS progress :)
No one knows the details of the agreements Musk signed with potential co-investors and banks, but considering it has been 6+ months since and the reputation, value and bank balance of the underlying asset – Twitter – has fallen (partially due to Musk's own antics), not to mention drastically different overall economic conditions, I wouldn't be surprised if they all have second thoughts as well.

Because you don't have to subject it to a vote. People vote against taxes, they kinda ignore moderate interest/inflation.
Except the kids taking high school calculus likely ARE going to do those things one day. Maybe not all of them, but some.

Heck, I don’t use calculus directly in my daily life. But I’m glad I took it because I recognize where it is used, and how, and that helps me understand my world better then without.

Sequence diagrams force you to think about the flow of control in a system.

When reviewing draft designs, I sometimes ask the author to convert a simple boxes-and-lines architecture diagram to a sequence diagram. It can be revealing.
I would say that you don't really master the most advanced topic you learn.

Attempting algebra is how you solify your knowledge of arithmetic, attempting calculus is how you learn algebra and finally master arithmetic.
We have very educated guesses.

The primary difference between 2008 and now with respect to monetary policy is money velocity. Increasing money supply is a necessary but insufficient condition for inflation.

In 2008, much of that money sat uninvested, so it didn’t impact the price of goods. In 2020, most of it got used to buy and invest.
The phone - it's the largest source of interruptions there are. I almost never answer it, unless I know who's calling.
He published a manifesto and killed cops. These are incontrovertible facts. I see nothing "whitewashing" Dorner.

It's utterly bizarre to see every time someone mentions Dorner's killings or manifesto, people come out of the woodwork to make sure we don't defend the honor or whitewash Dorner or whatever perceived sin you see of accidently somehow not saying enough bad things about Dorner.
If you compare the volatility of common cryptocurrencies with the volatility of pretty much any major currency, crypto is way worse. (E.g., GBP and US inflation are around 9%, this year, but Bitcoin and Ethereum are down by 70%). The most important thing for a store of value is that it actually holds value, but crypto has a poor track record there.
Because the 'simple straight forward explanation' doesn't make much sense.

As economies grow and expand, they need more money supply to keep prices stable. If you're using 100 tons of Gold as your 'fixed money supply' then you run into deflationary problems.

Also, if there is a crisis in which people get really anti-liquid and tend to hoard and do other bad things, and/or the system needs to allocate resources somewhere fast or else face destruction - then if you only have a big pot of gold split between owners, you are screwed. Mad Max style. If a country is invaded or has a pandemic, most regular levers may not work. But helicopter money can help. It implies an 'unfair' re-balancing of who owns what, but so long as the community at large accepts that, then it's fine. It means a price adjustment for everyone.
Maybe we don't want people to store their wealth forever. Imagine having the same billionaires running the world for centuries.
You're welcome to explain why you disagree with the OP and what true value can, in your view, be derived from studying classical literature.

I likely agree with you, but if you're just going to make a vaguely disparaging statement in the negative without elaborating or contributing to the discussion then you really might as well not comment at all.
Not what you asked, but would you consider the Lenovo Z13 instead? Runs Linux out-of-box[0], runs AMD with similar to i7 12th gen performance, better battery life, better GPU performance. Also includes a 4G LTE modem (optional, though sold out in the US) and offers up to 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD.

Downsides: all-black model seems to be not available in the US, limited ports, no dongles included, SSD is 2242 up to Gen4 (so, hard to source; the Lenovo one delivers up to Gen3 speeds).

As an FYI - The bash script downloads it and then runs bash on the file created on your local system, there's no way to determine if the user is downloading and piping directly into bash or if they're just downloading the file, so change the script before executing from

wget -q https://get.coollabs.io/coolify/install.sh -O install.sh; sudo bash ./install.sh

to

wget -q https://get.coollabs.io/coolify/install.sh -O install.sh; cat install.sh

Once the script is locally on your file system there is no way to change the contents.
Why was he saying that Crimea belongs to Russia?

The dude is obviously seeped in pro-Russian propaganda now. I dunno why or how he got to this state, but... Elon made this very clear yesterday.
The price of anything that can be converted to a monthly payment, which is most things in this highly financialized economy, inflates when the interest rate is artificially suppressed. The CPI understates that kind of inflation because it looks at the monthly payment, and not the final price. So there are plenty of things like houses or college degrees that have inflated a lot more than the CPI in that "quite a while". There is no reason to believe that the value of money is immune to the law of supply and demand.

Besides, if you have an argument to make, you can make it without calling somebody an 8th grader.

I have only a layman's understanding of financial markets, so keep that in mind.

The explanation I've heard is that most of the QE in the 2010's was metered out in such a way that the average person wasn't receiving funds and the money wasn't quickly and directly going into the economy. The post 2008 QE purchased troubled assets and freed up institutions to lend money. It could be said that most of that QE money wound up in stocks and assets such as real estate, which is why valuations were going so crazy over the last decade while consumer goods stayed relatively flat.

All of the Covid stimulus, loans, and bailouts were different because so much more of that money went directly into the consumer economy. Price increases were exacerbated because of supply chain disruptions, needing to recoup losses from lock-downs, and the price hikes due to raw materials shortages. There is also a self-fulfilling prophecy that inflation is both higher than reported, and that our officials are lying to us about how bad the problem is. When everyone else is raising prices, it is a lot easier for a business to follow suit.

That's the explanation I've gathered while trying to understand the question and it seems reasonable to me. It may be entirely wrong, however.
Frankly, as someone more interested in emulation than virtualization, I have been occasionally unhappy that most of the energy behind QEMU goes to virtualization. Some of the things QEMU has done to better adapt to virtualization do not translate well to the emulation use case.
There is another option.

Just regulate it, like we regulate other communication networks.

The phone company can't ban people for political speech from it's phone lines, and the government doesn't run into 1st amendment issues with that.

Let's change the law, so that our existing laws, are expanded to apply to social media companies.
Because sometimes you lose the important details in the generalization. Counter example would be that the dollars created aren't spent depending on how they're distributed. If put under people's mattresses, put into the stock market, or sitting in a savings account, those don't enter circulation and increase the flow of money.

> This is one of the major reasons that Z-Wave mostly replaced Zigbee in the "smart home" space.

It did? I moved into a new home a year ago and have been outfitting it with smart devices. I have no real preference for Zigbee but ended up with a bunch of Zigbee devices and zero Z-Wave devices.
On the other hand, the analysis is about online games on the chess.com platform.
> This seems to be a more general problem than something which is the result of capitalism

Sure, but the point is that dismantling of ecosystems is capitalism's central organising principle. It's what capitalism is: denote sophisticated evolved ecosystems as "property" rather than world, then allow the "owners" to dismantle them to create crude technological systems that require ongoing inputs from the outputs of prior evolved systems. The process of converting evolved ecosystems into technological ones is economic 'growth' - a mislabel for a 2 to 3 century process that can end only with the death of the living planet, or of capitalism, whichever comes first.
It reflects something like 98% of light instead of 90%, so the actual increase in reflected light isn't that big.

Flat scattering surfaces are never blinding. The problem is with specular reflections off of shiny surfaces. Even though a shiny surface may only reflect a small fraction of incident light, it's all pointing in one direction which can dazzle observers.
> Not understanding the mechanism of action for a specific observed effect is no reason to dismiss it

It's not just that we "don't understand" the mechanism of action, it's that there's no remotely plausible way for it to work in our existing model of the physical world.

> If there is indeed an observable effect beyond placebo, as suggested by the peer-reviewed literature (according to various meta-analyses)

"As suggested by the peer-reviewed literature" is a deep and frankly disingenuous mischaracterization. Studies and meta-analyses are divided on the topic, as you must surely know. And, as another commenter noted, there are 6 Cochrane reviews which all find homeopathy to have no effect beyond placebo. Cochrane reviews are generally regarded as the gold standard of medical evidence.

Disregarding anything that doesn't confirm your favored hypothesis isn't science. It's confirmation bias, one of the oldest and most common failure modes in human cognition.
I didn't go deep on it, but it seemed like dude's cheating was repeated, open, and notorious.
One thing that’s odd about that letter — not the only thing, but one thing — is that it makes a demand on the Chancery Court to adjourn the trial. That is, it’s not a notice of settlement or even a request for adjournment, but some kind of weird attempt to bargain with the Chancellor, even though the issue at trial is whether Musk already reneged on this exact same offer. Not sure I understand what they’re trying to do here.
Aren’t you allowed to have open discussions about things anymore? Elon throws out stuff all the time, sometimes just to get the discussion started.

Also, try to steelman the guy. Where do you think this is coming from? That he agrees with Russia or that he wants to avoid nuclear war?
Housing is pretty big counter-point for this. Everything is fine if you don't need to move, but if you need to you are unlikely to sell for what is left of your capital or be able finance with similar monthly payment. You are locked in your current house...
Fewer than you think, I expect. But who knows! To be honest, even though I expect to be closing my Twitter account after this, I'm not sad to see a shake-up in this space.

A good working definition of inflation is a general increase in prices and a fall in the purchasing value of money. There will generally be inflation when there are fewer goods to purchase or when the money supply increases.

History teaches us that the government, often through good intentions, decreases the supply of available goods. There are many reasons this happens. Recently, people were told to stay at home, and many businesses closed. At the very least, the supply of many goods dropped, and people were at home all shopping online for the same goods - causing prices to rise - inflation.

History also teaches us that the government increases the money supply by printing more money.

It's not an accident that both of those are caused by the government. These are the masses' reasons to have lower regulation, not to give handouts to some but to stop government interference. Not to favor winners and losers but to have just enough regulation - without printing stupid amounts of money to save the economy in the short-term.

Unfortunately, history also shows us that government interference, though possibly well-intended, results in price controls that also cause the same problem - inflation.
Given that California can't print money, why do you think those checks are "printing money"?

And no, it's not a "sneaky backdoor". It's the government doing what it should do, tighten financial inequality gaps. And preventing unnecessary suffering. We're still a society, we occasionally take care of the weaker people amongst us. (Frankly, not often enough)

And "without real oversight" is... you're aware this is going through the normal process of fund allocation, is reported widely in the press, and is part of the data that voters can take into account next round, no? It has just as much oversight as any other government spending. (Arguably more than some federal programs)

I get that fiscally conservative folks might disagree with this, and we can certainly debate merits. But "printing money" and "without oversight" are empty slogans without basis in fact.
It should be noted that California cannot print money. It is simply redistributing what it's residents already have.
File this under "If a headline is asking a question, then the answer is NO." Honestly, I'm not even sure what point the author is trying to make besides "anecdotally and at low scale, unusual-for-the-purpose technology X solved problem Y." A near-infinite number of bad patterns can solve problems along happy paths and resolve plenty of edge cases to boot. 99.9% availability was a goal post here? There are systems where 7 9s is unacceptable. The author didn't even provide data backing the measurement goals.

Are you asking how one would write code for the libraries you should use? In general, there already is one: ICU.[0] But if you had to write your own, as I said above, Unicode provides algorithms[1] that one might want to implement, in addition to a massive (over 1000 page) spec[2] detailing how to handle the various languages. For example, if you need to write the code to handle bidirectional text, there's UAX/TR #9[3]. Want to implement case changing? See Chapter 3.[4]

There's also the Unicode Character Database[5] that contains information on every code point. Your library/program would need to hold a copy of this whole thing.
