I welcome new APL-class languages. BQN seems promising as, apparently, only a few glyphs remain, see [1]. For example there is a special minus sign for use in numbers (why can't this be inferred?) and there are symbols for infinity and Pi, which are identifiers in other languages. On the other hand, characters like / and \ don't seem to be used.

As I consider the glyph stuff to be a detraction, my question is: why insist on the glyphs? Is the ideal of writing functions on a single line worth stopping the wider public from using this?

I for one won't be trying this out, I'll scan the docs for just the ideas instead.

[1] https://mlochbaum.github.io/BQN/doc/syntax.html#special-glyp...

[Edit: https://bqnpad.mechanize.systems/ shows there are still a lot of symbols. The question remains, why not use keywords or compositions like =/= instead?]

I find it so funny hearing HN people on here trotting out all the old tired anti-union BS. I think we all know the meta-game that's going on here. Unions provide an opportunity for employees to use their collective leverage to get better overall conditions (and especially to get real working condition improvements, not a meaningless $400 coursera gift card that practically no one will use).

However, Apple can't let that happen, because if the unions provide real benefit to the employees, then more people will join unions driving up the costs for Apple, and improving the leverage of the union. So it's much better for Apple's bottom line to run a continual PR campaign against unions - putting out articles in the press about "Everyone EXCEPT union workers get X benefit". Especially since it's so easy - people are tripping over themselves on here to shout about how this was always the obvious result and the union workers should know they're going to get screwed.

The important thing is for union workers to keep their eye on the prize - Apple is fighting unions for a reason, and that reason isn't because they're looking out for workers best interests, they're looking out for the shareholders. Don't be distracted by a bullshit $400 coursera subscription.

It might not have been high up in their agenda, but it was still there and every single Lib Dem MP signed the Vote for Students pledge (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vote_for_Students_pledge) in support of it. So no matter what the outcome was, generations of students have incurred fairly ridiculous levels of debt as a result and many hold the Lib Dems responsible and feel betrayed. They may have been powerless to stop it, or they may have been ineffective - but the damage is done either way
Consider a number line:

┼─┼─┼─┼─┼─┼─┼─┼─┼─┼
... 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ...

Any point on the line can be described by a single coordinate, so the line is one-dimensional.

We could also describe all of them in terms of a two-dimensional plane [(0,0), (0,1), (0,2) etc.] but that would just be redundant. Just like representing the number line with a taller figure doesn't really make the abstract line any different:

│ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │
┼─┼─┼─┼─┼─┼─┼─┼─┼─┼
│ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │
... 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ...

So for a single-pixel wide view of SMB from first person perspective, we could consider it a degenerate case of a 2D view if we indexed them (0,1), (0,2), (0,3)... but that would be redundant as they're sensibly just 0, 1, 2...

Consider that any 2D image you see on your screen is just a single-pixel deep 3D image and a single-pixel 4D-protruding 4D image and so on.
Than we are talking about different product.
APL needs almost none of this.

That's not true in general. For most if not all messengers (at least encrypted ones), there is the option to use Bridge-to-End encryption on the Matrix side, which doesn't give the homeserver any possibility to inspect messages let alone aggregate them.

Firstly, gemini is focused on text files, as in the consumption of text files. Services offer logic and computation on top of data, so actual useful things like calendar, events, sms, email, chat. I don't think that's what gemini is doing. Whether that's through a shell or a chat client or web interface is really the question which comes down to the user. Ultimately the terminal is very much limited to developers, web and mobile apps are more accessible for end consumers so I'm more tempted to say web is the ultimate platform to build for while still providing a very simple text based experience that looks similar to chat but specifically for command & control.

I bet you still can remember some of that code.

TRS-80 was not the thing that introduced me to programming. Our school had some uni project where we could send in programs on scrap cards (like punch cards, but using pencil) and then we'd receive the output a week later on stacks of line printer paper. Great stuff. Then the PET-2001 appeared on the market, the Apple II, etc., all well out of our reach. Not much later, the school got a few TRS-80s, and the rest is history.
Multiple people have told me recently that they believe there is a big surge going on based on how many people they have heard have gotten covid after schools started up.
> The catch is that you'd be obligated to sell it at the price you selected if a buyer showed up.

A modification to that I read somewhere which I like is the buyer has to put in a cash over the barrel offer. Completely unencumbered cash for a period too long for any leveraged investor to tolerate. And enforcing that "cash"'ness is the courts will not enforce claims upon the property based upon pledging it as collateral for say, 2X median population lifespan years.

I'd also want to see a natural person exception and a bounty. If you are a natural person (non-corporate entity, real human), then your home is exempted from the bidding system. But if someone figures out a natural person individual claimed two or more properties under the exemption for some period (say a year and a day) or longer, then that someone gets their choice of properties illegally claimed under the exemption, with instant eviction enforced by the state immediately after the court-supported decision.

The intent of the modification is to disallow hacking the bidding system by tapping credit markets far beyond the reach of median homeowners and systematically outbidding them.

I feel you are commingling negative rights with regulations .

The constitution provided "negative" rights to the people and individual states.
Negative rights are rights that exist unless someone acts to negate them.
This means the constitution affirms that people and states get to keep all priviledges, unless specifically enumerated as priviledges of the federal government.

So, if the Federal government starts with nothing, the right end state for the for the government to end with nothing.

This is quite different from the inertia you see today in Federal government regulatory growth.

Going back to the current discussion, negative rights dont lapse since they define the starting point. It is only regulations (I.e. anything that comes outside of the constitution) which is subject to reset.
One interesting issue is that as the number of devices rises, the effort required to pair them all together rises as O(n^2) rather than O(n). With Dropbox, you can add all your devices into an account and they'll all share a folder, but on Syncthing you have to add every device to every other device, unless you have a central server (here a laptop I never sleep), set it as an introducer on every other device, then by adding a new device to the server it gets pushed to all other devices connected to the server. KDE Connect, unlike Tailscale, has the O(n^2) problem if you want to pair every device with every other device. I'm not sure the best way out; KDE Connect shouldn't require a central authority like Tailscale's management servers, perhaps a LAN server, or an optional integration to publish keys on Tailscale and auto-pair with keys available there? But is it secure to allow one device to connect to your account and add its keys to all your networked machines? Then again Syncthing introducers already do that, but Syncthing doesn't offer remote code execution while KDE Connect can emulate a keyboard.

Firing bad employees (and customers) is the opposite of planting trees. The best time to do it was months or years ago, the second best time is now.

Rewarding an incompetent shirker is financially foolish and sets a tone for everybody else in the company. If the employee is as bad as you say he is, everybody that works with him would know that and fully understand why he was sacked.
I read in body building forums that those who are on testosterone take cabergolin to keep their male breast from changing too much.

Some of them said it made them more sexually active than before. They got horny more often and the refractory period was reduced.

When I read about caber, I found out it was given to Parkinson patients and that one of it main side effects was that people were more inclined to gamble and have sex.
>“It is true that there are some “technophobes” who—like the Luddites of the Industrial Revolution—explicitly dislike and fear robots (Dekker et al., 2017; McClure, 2018)“
>Is that what you are referring to?

It is. Luddites were no more disliked and feared technology than French anti-Uber taxi drivers hated and feared smartphones or indeed, strikers dislike and fear work itself. Destroying the machines was a tactic not a holy war.

The taxi one is notable because Forbes said that they were modern day luddites. They were ironically quite correct about that even though the protestors did not, as they claimed, actually hate smartphones.

Raph Koster (Designer of UO and SWG) is working on a new - yet unannounced - game.

He founded a new company - Playable Worlds - and on their website[0] are a few Blog posts (look for "Riffs by Raph"), that outline some ideas/concepts behind the new game (without giving any concrete details though).

It's not gonna be exactly like UO but more modern - but it seems it will share many of the design-sensibilities that made UO special.

Raph and a few PW-employees also hang out - and occasionally post - on an unoffical Discord dedicated to their new, still unnamed game[1].

> This boils down to an ambiguity found in the early days of HTTP

The RFC is clear on this, different Transfer-Encoding is only for the transfer and does not affect the identity of the resource, while different Content-Encoding does affect the identity of the resource.

Its not sure who did it first, but either Browsers or Web Servers started using the Content-Encoding header (which means, "this file is always compressed" like a tar.gz, user agent not meant to uncompress) with the meaning of Transfer-Encoding (which means, the file is not compressed, compression is just applied for the sake of the transfer and the user agent needs to uncompress first). This is a violation of the HTTP spec.

This fuckup resulted in big confusion and now requires an annoying amount of workarounds:

- E-Tag re-generation [1]

- Ranges and Compression are not usable together

- Browsers's "Resume Download" feature removed

- RFC-compliant behavior being a bug [2]

- Some corporate proxies are still unpacking tarballs on the fly, breaking checksum verification

Contrast this to eMail, which has the Encodings correctly sorted out, while using the same RFC822 encoding technique as HTTP.

If I recall it was mostly the DRM and codec-licensing that strangled most projects.

Silverlight itself was actually relatively good at the time, but HTML5 media tag standardization made it along with Real-player, QuickTime, and Flash effectively obsolete for their primary use-cases.

If we are already what-if-ing with wired power delivery, just skip the pantograph and look at what wire-guided missiles do: they have their data lines on a spool, unrolling as they go. For power you certainly wasn't thicker wires, and while you're at it, you'll certainly power the unrolling of the spool instead of just dragging it to spin up. Then if the spool unrolling is for some reason faster than the wheels, the wire will serve as reaction mass, pushing the vehicle. Now we have what's essentially a copper rocket that isn't constrained by downforce and tire grip at all.
Being fired is not a "generous payout"; colleagues will hopefully remember that the company got rid of an underperformer, without being bitter about their stock. The parable of the workers in the vineyard comes to mind.

On the other hand, a boss screwing an employee over stock, for any reason, would set a terrible precedent of greed and untrustworthiness.

> Are you not outsourcing to an intermediary with Apple/FB/Google?

This is a product decision, it gets you better security (on average), brand association that may be good for the right product/SSO combination, easier signup (at least in theory), and in many cases is necessary for integrations with those services.

Using Hellō gets you better security (on average), but not as much as going direct. It loses some of the brand association, and in fact I'd suggest many users would probably want to whitelabel Hellō. It adds an extra step to sign-up over direct integrations. And it likely complicates integrations with the services.

> I'm sharing my experience. Apple requires a D&B number to register your app. Many require you to jump through their process for proving control of a domain. Microsoft requires you register as a partner if you don't want the scary unverified label. FB disabled Hellō for not having the correct link to the app, then disabled for not having a required term in our T&S.

These are all fair points!

Apple is a pain, in fact I wrote up a long post about all the issues, although I'm not sure Apple via Hellō solves the ongoing issues, only the initial setup cost? – https://danpalmer.me/2019-07-02-on-signing-in-with-apple/

Facebook will ban apps for all sorts of reasons, but having experienced the nasty end of this I unfortunately suspect that Facebook might take issue with it, and Hellō may become a single point of failure that could cause a FB login outage across many services.

> FWIW I don't use libraries for the OIDC flows -- I find it makes it more complicated than it needs to be. I do use libraries for any JWT work of course.

I've seen good ones and bad ones. The one that I was thinking of when I wrote my original comment was Django All Auth. It gives you much the same effect as Hellō, and in my experience setup of the library has not been difficult, and has made it easier to implement multiple flows quickly. Devise for Rails was a bit of a pain 9 years ago though.

It probably all depends on access to high quality libraries in your ecosystem of choice how much you value things like Hellō, and having a lot of Django experience I just don't really feel the value proposition.

As a person who was taught the “traditional” way, I feel that Aaronson’s disparagement of it misses—and the title tellingly omits—an important reason for it: that it tries to explain why quantum mechanics is mechanics. For that, you actually do need to know Hamilton–Jacobi, and ideally also know how to get the eikonal equation from electrodynamics, perhaps even understand high-frequency (Liouville–Green or, with a bit of abuse of language popular among physicists, JWKB) approximations in general. Same applies somewhat less poignantly if you’re not looking for motivation but are still planning to do QM to things in, y’know, continuous physical space.

The realization, apparently due to quantum computing people, that you can get away with not doing QM to things in continous physical space and still understand quite a lot of fun and useful QM stuff is very much valuable; you absolutely can build good courses that way. It’s just that I think that the pedagogical problem of laying out this general “quantum dynamical systems” approach in a compatible and not terribly redundant way to include the things learned a “quantum mechanics in space” course—which is absolutely required if e.g. you want to move on to QFT in solid-state or high-energy physics—is unsolved and to a large extent even untried. (Susskind’s semi-popular book is a notable exception, but I don’t feel he managed to pull it off.)

And, as usual, calling the traditional approach “historical” is a huge stretch. The standard QM course doesn’t talk about the founders’ (valid but extremely clumsy) approaches to relativistic corrections to the hydrogen spectrum any more than the standard calculus course talks about Newton’s early forays into algebraic and (what would come to be called) tropical geometry. (Or the standard programming course talks about native–bytecode interworking in the AGC, but even the most academic of programming courses are rarely branded as historical.)
