Not knowing Aeschylus has nothing to do with wit.
There have been some rumors that the new Chief of Twitter wants to outsource these jobs to some other countries.
I don't use zig, but it seems to me that functions can choose exactly which type of allocator they want to accept (just by changing the type of the allocator parameter), making his point invalid.
I don't know if it's because of Covid or I'm a parent but it really affected me. The ending was one of the best.

What about the regulators that allow drunk and distracted drivers everywhere
They'll have to come from the landed gentry.

For those whose parents won't be paying the indenture, college has been priced to the point where ROI on the degree has to be the primary consideration for most of those going. And the return on Aeschylus is low, at least until you're giving speeches.
It's just one of many indicators and I will most certainly not leave it behind.
Make It Stick: The Science of Successful Learning
In my experience, it's normal.

Eventually you get used to it, and start ignoring it. Sadly. I'd switched to Gnome for many years, but in the end - being able to easy tweak the desktop to my liking drove me back to KDE.
Peer reviews catch tactical changes that are strategically poor. There are times when it won't get sign-off from reviews. In other times, when it gets merged, at least it is documented that the solution is tactical, people know it, and it was rationalized by the team. A plan may even be put in place to revisit the subject and do a proper job; there could be concrete ticket for that.

Reviews also slow things down. You can't move quite as fast and break as many things if everything goes through a review pipeline.

Test-oriented development helps. Sometimes people find it easier to develop a tactical solution that somehow gets certain tests working and then refactor for strategy. They don't have to feel they have wasted time on the tactical solution because they get to reuse parts of it, and use it as a jig to guide the improved solution.
I don't know, there's plenty of people competing over social progress, competing over moral progress, and completing over leisure. I suspect that Mr Mill would take a dim view of this.
Thanks for explaining that - I saw the video and was wondering "why are the other cars going so slow, is there a traffic jam?"
This is common in the functional paradigm, although syntax and semantics varies in sometimes important ways among languages.

There's a long-standing TC39 proposal to add it to JS. It's interesting to read it to see examples of the aforementioned differences.

Ask HN: How Do You Pronounce JOSE? (Javascript Object Signing and Encryption)
We are working on a project that uses the JOSE standard and we're currently split in our team in how we should pronounce the acronym JOSE.

The factions we have are below

- José (pronounced Hosay like the name)

- Jose (pronounced Joes like the plural of Joe)

- JOSE (pronounced Jay Oh Ess Eee, spelling each letter)

I'd love to know what your opinion is and what you and your teams call it?
I have a visual impairment that make it really hard for me to distinguish objects where the is little contrast. This new UI trend of one pixel borders is a big annoyance for me. I constantly click the wrong window.

I actually wrote a Windows app to do something like this. It's sitting in my unfinished folder because I ran into too many issues to fix for a hobby project. The rectangle data for Windows apps seems to vary widely. I needed a bunch of different formulas to correct for the rectangles I was getting back from the WinAPI calls.

One of my features was a different border color for each app. I tried various color rules, such as multiple copies of VSCode would each get their own shade of blue, or cycle through colors of the rainbow.
The higher the GDP, the more taxes for the government. This is I think the main reason why this number is the main target.
There is more than one country in the world I believe, and details and laws differ in each country.

fair, but in that case they should be showcasing their security and privacy focused initiatives, and their source of angel funding...

otherwise how will it be anything other than spyware crap that funds itself by selling your data??

Sooo the media was unhappy when he said he was buying it

Then they were unhappy that he wanted out

And now they are unhappy he bought it

It is so hard to keep up with these narratives I don’t know how the NPCs do it. It’s exhausting.
All of these things are defined in the GDPR, even the on-the-face-of-it term "economic activity," which is what differentiates "enterprise" from "household and personal." You just have to keep reading. You can process all the personal data you want as long as you're not a business entity selling goods or services. The thresholds involved are also defined.
CISA member reaction to this

All companies in the US presumably have some legal basis in US law even if not all of them are complying 100% of the time.

The equivalent situation would be if a Canadian or Mexican company simply started doing business with physical premises in Alaska or Nevada without bothering to file a single page of paperwork to any US authority.

Since this is a commonly understood difference the comment seems like it was made in bad faith.
Democracy absolutely does not care about you and thinking it does is damaging to democracy. Democracy is just executing the will of the majority. If your interests don’t align with thah majority, the country is not acting on your behalf.

Knowing that an participating in democracy without tying up your identity in the outcomes is critical.
Island nations tend to be very against the introduction of organic stuff for fear that it might disrupt their fragile ecosystem. And solid residuals from wastewater treatment are very much the kind of organic stuff that is problematic to import.
Have you looked at salt?
I think the real point is that an alternative measure should measure things that are reliably measurable. Pull in more externalities, sure. But it's really hard to derive a metric that won't be gamed. (Not impossible though; see "proper scoring rules".)
"For example, there’s “Félix Erausquín”"

And yet you know his name.
An economy can function without growth. Stagnation is perfectly viable. But why should a society not be fundamentally committed to growth and aspire to increasing greatness?
Isn’t this literally the problem with every social media site?
Same, I looked all over the project and couldn't find a reason for using it vs Ansible.
I disagree wholeheartedly with the sentiment that "traveling the stars" is a worthy goal, even more worthy than stewardship of the paradise we already have. We are living in heaven. We have a wonderful planet that nurtures us yet we continue to sabotage our favorable situation for the sake of growing worthless numbers like GDP, all while some people starve or are forced into lives of misery. And yes, I have read Parable of the {Sower|Talents}, who's primary lesson I take to be, we should prevent that terrible situation in the first place.
I meant a cost function that the model trains on. The expert can look at the cost function to double-check whether the inputs are appropriate. Maybe the applicants' names got in there by mistake, and the names serve no purpose other than giving away their ethnicities.
That's exactly what I think: there's too much uncertainty around what he meant by that. So I refer to the principle of charitable interpretation.
The Lambda Calculus. So simple. So powerful. Still studied today.
yeah sorry! we're shipping a functional mobile view soon
I'm guessing the waste removal program isn't optimised for raw shipping costs.

They only do one ship-load per year (deliver all supplies, take all waste back). Overall logistics (including regulatory compliance) might actually make it cheaper to have a single destination, rather than stopping over in NZ to offload some of the simpler to dispose waste. Actual shipping costs are probably in the noise floor after everything else.

It's also possible the program has been partially optimised for pork barrel politics.
Yes but that's not the same as the more useful (no pun intended) definition of value - namely, utility.
Just curious as a middleman , what value do you even add? Most of the things can be done through software.
any app for iphone?
I can only speak for myself but I personally would switch to a fast, open source browser if it came within a set of built in and trusted features. Those include: adblock, Privacy features, fleshed out developer tools, better bookmark management, proper session management etc.

Chome/FF are fine and all but I wouldn't mind trying out a browser that rethinks the way things are done. Especially considering how much resources Chrome/FF currently eats up with the ~15 tabs I have open at any point.
Really? So GDP is a perfect metric with no downsides? And we know this from less than a hundred years of its use?

> left-wing

> such controversial metrics

Your politics are showing
With my new digital nomad life, flying across the US and staying in hotels, I’ve literally researched every credit card offered by all of the major banks except some of the ones aimed at people building there credit.

Just for context for those who aren’t in the US travel reward credit cards game, between churning (https://www.forbes.com/advisor/credit-cards/what-is-credit-c...) and earning based on spend is a great way to get free trips and hotels.

That being said, the Apple Card is meh in every way and far inferior to Amex as far as customer service, the application user experience, rewards, etc.

The Apple Card is just a cobranded Goldman Sachs card. It’s the opposite of when Apple is at its best - when it owns the entire experience.

Amex owns the credit card, the processing network, and doesn’t do but one or two deals with outside banks. The perks from being in the Amex ecosystem are vast. Once you have one card with Amex, they don’t even do a hard credit pull most of the time.
Not sure what is the joke here?

- That twitter has no bots?

- That Musk accused some people of being bots who aren't actually bots?
If he brings Vine back and DHS bans Chinese owned TikTok then he's good to go
“I am asking every bot that has left Twitter to please come back,” he tweeted. “Without you, Twitter is nothing.”

This is obviously a troll, and The New Yorker just doesn’t get the joke.
Zig, Parser Combinators – and Why They're (2021)
I don't know if the submitter here is the author of this, but if the author is here, I have just two words for them:

THANK YOU!

Over the past few years, UI design has been trending towards removing ALL visual cues of how to interact with software and programs. It's intensely weird that we are actually making computers HARDER to use, not easier. Need some examples? Okay!

* Menus containing frequently-used program functions are hidden away behind abstract, arbitrary icons.
* There is no separation between parts of a UI that do different things. It's all "flat."
* Buttons that perform actions are just text now, and usually look like all other text on the screen.
* Icons are now all monochrome, except for branding purposes.
* Scrollbars, when they even still exist, are thin lines that only appear while you scroll, making them effectively useless for grabbing with the mouse to quickly navigate through a document.
* On Windows and GNOME, titlebars are effectively no longer a thing anymore. Each program implements their own, leading to an inconsistent look and behavior between applications. The only explanation that I can come up with is that most developers these days either use tiling window managers or just fullscreen every application.

Lack of window borders is another item on this list. My monitor is quite often filled with overlapping windows and lack of border means it's often hard to tell at a glance where one window ends and the other begins. Shadows can help sometimes but aren't as useful for "dark mode" or windows with dark backgrounds.

KDE is better than most other desktop environments about retaining useful desktop functionality while all the others are trying their damndest to throw it all away. I hope this makes it into a release!
What does the landlord bring? I think you’re confusing landlord with property manager. The landlord brings nothing and has no productive contribution. They seek only to create scarcity and leech off of others productive output.

Please, list contributions made by the landlord specifically.
It's not unheard of for labour cost to be explicitly excluded as a purchasing criterion. The English Electric Lightning was one example: it was intended for defence against Russian bombers with nuclear weapons, and cost of maintenance just didn't matter against any performance improvement which would improve the likelihood of success. The most extreme example was the Mirage IV nuclear bomber, which was said to consume 25% of the French military budget at one time. It wasn't unreliable - apparently it was surprisingly good in that respect - but keeping available was very expensive.
Scooter parking takes up very negligible street space. You can fit a huge number of scooters into the space occupied by one car.

If London can find plenty of space for scooter parking (and it has), I’m sure any North American city can.
Ron Garret's space debugging story from NASA has an element of this. They had a custom language in Lisp which made certain guarantees, like deadlocks being impossible. But some coder went around it, possibly due to a tactical reason, using some lower level code outside of that paradigm.

Sometimes people aren't being tactical; they really don't understand the system fully to know that some obvious solution will hit a snag.
There’s no joke. This is what the New Yorker considers to be an article for intellectual readers.
Obviously it’s contradictory, that’s the point.

As to your second point, what about social networks not showing content that they believe to be objectionable. Does that count as “not forcing someone to stop and pay attention to you if they don’t want to?”
A bit like Michael Guerra? I haven't checked, but if his trick didn't get banned...

I agree with the first statement but not “there are certainly exceptions” - because this seems to suggest that the vast majority of those in the industry (obviously there’s some variation from indie to AAA, but it’s doesn’t matter here) burnout, which just isn’t the case. In fact, my point was not to glorify the game industry but more that burnout is an intractable problem because the majority of those in gamedev, even the workaholics don’t burnout, however burnout is extremely common - it’s a similar situation in medicine.
Ansible is a little heavyweight for what you want, but if you wrap it in a script and only use the built-in modules, it's probably got everything you need.

Here's the wrapper script:

ansible-playbook -i localhost, --connection=local playbook.yml "$@"

You run the script with "-CD" for dry run mode, and without arguments for production mode. And here's the docs for the available modules [0].

I edited the comment to make it clear that its possible they are already doing this.

Also I'm taking about international discussions, not them throttling local news/"misinfo".

Because if they middle in international topics, then they are doing exactly what they are accusing China of doing, And is IMO a much bigger thing than fighting local "misinfo"

To be dim-witted just means stupid, hasn't got to do with wit.
This is not an accurate statement. I'm paying GBP25/mo for 1Gbit symmetrical in London suburbs. Same provider offers up to 3Gbit symmetrical for non-business. And I'm not in some fancy new build- the fibre is run from the existing street telegraph pole to the front of the house.

Yes it's not necessarily nationwide but "unheard of" is way off, before you even consider Virgin cover a sizeable chunk of the country and their DOCSIS upgrade means they can push gigabit now.
It also means analytics for everyone at the table, not just the person who paid and not only their credit card number.
Silicon Valley, New York, and arguably Texas have been the hubs of computing innovation as long as there has been a commercial computer industry. Other tech hubs have sprung up, but we're looking at forty years of unceasing domination here. Innovation hubs move when new industries arise.
No, if you contract your services to that company, your contribution to GDP gets cancelled out by the intermediate consumption of that company purchasing your services. The GDP is the same either way.
APL. I didn't care for the particular symbols, but the concept blew my mind, and got me interested in "table oriented programming" (TOP) and later the SMEQL query language (what SQL should have been). I'd often make table-driven logic using dBASE/xBASE back in its day because it was so nimble to edit meta-attributes AND put code in tables with it.

I still believe in data-dictionaries to drive CRUD instead of crap like C#/Java "annotations" on model classes, but our current tools and languages are not TOP-friendly. I'm convinced TOP is the future, I just don't know when. Some say "you lose type checking", but relational integrity can do much the same thing if set up right. I do personal TOP R&D, but the job is too big for 1 hobbyist.
The most striking, and maybe obvious statement, the design of chrome the goal being to drive people to search in google. But of course! I suppose an ancillary design and usage goal is usage tracking in some form as well.

Milorganite, smells like shit. Need to keep the dog inside so he doesn't roll on it when it's applied.
Americans aren't actually don't sure that often, a topic addressed in The Myth of the Litigious Society by David Engel [c.f. https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/lsereviewofbooks/2017/02/01/book-rev...].
a strawman would be trying to claim that he was trying to say those things should be included as part of GDP. It seems he is saying GDP is a poor measure of a nations success and it doesn't measure a lot of the things we actually value.
FTL would defeat causality and even "just" controlling gravity would be basically equivalent to god-like powers (it would mean assuming direct control over spacetime itself). Controlling gravity would negate the need for colonisation entirely - it would provide basically limitless power plus full control over your host star's lifetime.

Aside from that, almost all papers on the topic including this one focus on subluminal space travel.

Sure, once you incorporate technology that goes beyond your current understanding of the universe, many counterpoints go out the window, but this level of technology only serves as an argument against the need for expansion in the first place (with the exception of "because they can").

FTL would be fantastic for research and science expeditions, but expansion into random nearby star systems would be even more pointless, since such civilisation would be able to pick exact/close to exact matches to their home world as candidates for settlement. Such worlds could then be thousands of lightyears apart, as neither communication nor travel would pose a problem. This would also easily explain the lack of (radio-) signals, as exchanging information would be carried out via FTL travel, not radio waves. Why would a civilisation capable of FTL choose to go through the trouble of terraforming or building megastructures around random stars? Wouldn't they rather choose to harness the power of black holes then? A planetary mass BH could power a civilisation for trillions of years for example.
I think it only works out that way when you're unpacking the same number of variables as there are elements in c, which is the same as (a,b) = c and c = (a,b).

If you tried something like c = (('d','e','f'),('g','h')) and then a,b = zip(*c) you'd get a = ('d','g') and b = ('e','h'). The 'f' that was originally at c[0][2] is dropped so you can't zip back to the original value of c, unless that's how inverses work for this scenario and my math is rusty.
I might just be biased by selective attention, but it seems like more and more of these are popping up lately.

I feel like we will eventually recognize a variant of Greenspun's Tenth Rule as common wisdom:

> Any sufficiently complicated build system or configuration management system contains an ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of Nix.

(Although to be honest it might make more sense to replace "Nix" with "Guix"...)
Thanks! Solid looks quite nice, looking at the docs it is like React but by making state getting a function, and tracking deps automatically, you change the perspective so that you don't need multiple renders (at least in the code you write, not sure about under the hood).
Interesting. Almost like a declarative configuration scheme.
I remember the moment my brain went "So that's what some people need a fast multiply-accumulate for!"
If you're going to make extraordinary claims, you need to provide evidence, not just say "Google it."

I did Google it, though, and found the expected handful of thinkpieces and Reddit posts. Obviously the shows have fallen short or aged poorly at times, and people have discussed that the same way they've discussed everything else about Star Trek. I'm not seeing evidence for your claim that "Star Trek is dystopian" is a settled conclusion.

Also, I'm still waiting to hear what "fundamentally autistic" means.
> A self-sufficient community would not have a GDP of 0 because they would still have transactions among themselves. Perfect self-sufficiency would actually generate a very high GDP number because of how diverse and specialized the community would have to be to take care of itself.

And all this is assuming that the community uses money. A self sufficient community would have 0 GDP iff no money was exchanged.
I bet a lot of javelin people heard this legend and then spent time looking it up and messing about with the move for fun.
> they have all independently decided to adopt the same faux-artisanal aesthetic. Digital platforms like Foursquare are producing "a harmonization of tastes" across the world

Should we really attribute this to digital platforms in particular, or are digital platforms not rather just today's mass media amplifying trends more or less in the same way as other media have done in the past? I think of the global fashion and music trends of the 20th century: business suites everywhere, blue jeans, rock music ...
The expansion of c is a tuple of pairs, zip then creates an iterator (iirc zips get exhausted so iterator and not iterable); the unpack then calls dunder iter of the iterator. The iterator returns itself; and the destructing expands the iterator to exactly two items and binds them to a,b
Well it does care about you, just that the level of care you receive is roughly what hundreds of millions of others also get. 1/250000000 is a pretty small amount in the grand scheme.

We typically round down small fractions to zero so a very niche opinion with a few hundred folks is still approximately zero.
I live in what feels like the center of the problem you described. Most tourists see one of 3 places, each of which are not even close to local culture. The thing is, if local culture were what tourists wanted, they wouldn't come here. They want the touristy crap they paid for in the tourist areas.
