I love learning programming, and also math, because I feel like my mind is blown every time I come across a new concept.

However, it's rare for that feeling to obtain just by programming in a language. One language that (so far) has consistently had that feeling even when simply programming in it is Dyalog APL.

To think that it's so expressive that naming things is often unnecessary, the name being the function itself.... It feels like I'm playing with raw essence.

+/÷≢ is the classic example, of course. That's four characters -- the "tally" character at the end tends to render wrong in browsers, but I assure you it really is only one character. Four characters! What is the name of the function? Either "Mean", or "Average", one of which is four characters itself, and the other longer. Of course, you could just say, "Avg", but why bother?

And this contains in itself another example. +/ being "Sum", which is longer. And "Product" is an even higher contrast: ×/

This language also has the added mind-blowing feature where the glyphs are often visually related when they are functionally related.

So "Scan" is \. Therefore, "Running Sum" aka "Plus Scan" is +\. Likewise "Running Product" aka "Multiply Scan" is -- you guessed it! -- ×\.

And there is so much more. I've been doing APL for a while now (IDR if it's a full year yet or not, but it's getting close I think), and it keeps blowing my mind over and over again. It's gotten to the point where when writing APL I feel like I'm just spelling out my thoughts for the most part. I've never gotten that feeling in any other language, and it's a mind-blowing feeling.
Clearly she needs to charge enough for the sweatshirt to at least cover costs, and she provided reasons why the costs here would justify that price.

She could charge less if she used sweatshop labor, but that would make her a hypocrite. The price she lists is in-line with her oft-stated political/moral beliefs.

Musk's point here--as best as I can understand it--was to claim that AOC was being a hypocrite.

Also it still costs less than a Tesla sweatshirt ($75)

So if glycemic response means

> change in blood glucose content (glycemic response)

then does that mean an impaired response is higher or does it mean it's lower?
Look at how (relatively) low it was in September 2007. One can assume in February it was even lower - and February is when Greenspan said a recession was obviously coming. The subprime mortgage crisis started in April 2007. But the job market didn't really get fucked until 2008. There's a delay with these types of things - I personally predict that a year from now, a lot of companies (especially ones in the tech sector fueled by immense amounts of cheap debt and the assumption ad revenue always goes up) will collapse. That's when you see the spike in unemployment, not now.
At the very least, do _not_ do this during work hours. It looks like something you can knock out on a quick break. It is not.

I don’t doubt your statement about the artificial sweeteners, but how in the hell are you getting to 9mmol/l of ketones? I’ve seen levels around 5 after several days of fasting. You’d have to be ingesting ketone esters or something to get to 9.
This is an interesting point. One of the major things we're trying to demonstrate with Hack Club is we box people in too much based on their age. Especially young people who generally have a well defined set of activities laid out for them before they can start practicing some autonomy (largely from the way schooling works). The hope is that open-source projects like this can show people that there are some accessible routes and supportive communities to help them pursue their passions. Personally I hope the work serves more than just teenagers, but working out the details of serving young people well means as an organization we have to focus on it.

More directly responding to your point Ivan Illich has some interesting commentary on the modern invention of childhood in Deschooling Society.
Tech work went from deathly 60-80hr work weeks, to comfy WFH jobs where you can skate by on 2 hours of work a day.
that doesn't really solve the problem of cartels or foreign govs manipulating markets and jacking up prices. oil prices. or commodities(china).

This always cracks me up. Handicap, disabled, retard, and on and on. The origins of the latest epithet in vogue are harmless. But as soon as a term gets co-opted as an insult, we all agree to ditch it. And why? From what I can tell it's just to placate, to pretend Darwin doesn't exist. Reminds me of my two favorite quotes from The Office:

"There is one person in charge of every office in America, and that person is Charles Darwin..."

"You don’t call retarded people retards. It’s bad taste. You call your friends retards when they are acting retarded."

Is it worse to have some condition of your birth used as a casual insult -- a reminder of your misfortune? Or is it worse to be constantly patronized, often behind your back by throngs offended on your behalf?

The answer depends on your culture and outlook on life I suppose.
> Like if you could predict any up/down turns you know when to start buying/shorting stocks

But the stock market doesn't always go down in a recession. And vice versa, a recession may happen, but the stock market may be fine. Ex: the recession of 1990 barely budged the stock market. While the Stock Market Crash of 1962 had nothing to do with the economy.

> Or even if you're a bank maybe don't lend out a ton of money at say 2% when next month you can lend at 5%.

But that's speculation upon the Fed Rate, which isn't about recessions at all. For example, the Fed Rate increased in from 0% in 2015 to 2% in 2019. Or from 1% in 2004 through 5% in 2006.
No, of course not. Just like I haven't tried bungee jumping.
Were that to happen to an official apt repository, you could install from an alternative apt repository. In this case, you can't install from an alternative snap repository. Sure, you can go build a binary yourself and keep it up to date yourself, but that's not really a user-friendly solution in the long term.

Your saving grace here is that Ubuntu as a Debian derivative still supports apt repos, but if snaps were to really gain traction that might not always be the case. A desktop version of Ubuntu Core (akin to Fedora Silverblue for flatpak) would not have this luxury.
The "Living in your car" youtubers I follow generally do not do this. Instead they go to truck rest stops like "Loves" which have properly maintained Shower + Laundry facilities and depending on how much gas you purchase, are either comped a free shower or typically pay ~10-15$ for it. (Or if you are a really attractive female, friendly truckers might walk up and offer a coupon for a free shower since they accumulate tons of extra coupons due to buying so much fuel)

These showers from what I seen are a large private room with a code lock so you can peacefully freshen up.

The youtubers I follow stress that you have to be extra strict to maintain cleanliness especially if you live in your car. They develop daily routines for cleaning and it seems to work from what I can see.
Man, it sure seems like the fed announcement yesterday spooked a lot of tech companies, eh? The thing I don't get is that the federal funds rate was also being raised in the mid 2010s, yet there was no corporate freakouts: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/FEDFUNDS

Is the root cause of this really just overhiring during the pandemic? Or is there something else at play here?

> but from what I read the ACPI tables are in bad shape/incomplete. "Good enough for Windows, ship it.".

It is a bit more nuanced than this. Qualcomm ships a giant custom (mandatory, most the platform will not even work without it!) driver stack on Windows and uses ACPI definitions more than most x86 platform vendors, to the extent that it even exposed a bug in the Windows ACPI implementation when an ACPI method return buffer would exceed 64 kB so since this generation of SoC a lot of the Windows drivers instead bundle their own 'subset' of certain ACPI buffers and the main DSDT is empty as a result.

Linux on ARM still doesn't really use ACPI except where forces more influential than Qualcomm managed (e.g. SBSA?) so even downstream Linux kernels for Qualcomm still use DT.
It is both yes, and no. CAN-SPAM do only apply to electronic mail messages, usually shorten down to email. However...

In late March, a federal court in California held that Facebook postings fit within the definition of "commercial electronic mail message" under the Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act ("CAN-SPAM Act;" 15 U.S.C. § 7701, et seq.). Facebook, Inc. v. MAXBOUNTY, Inc., Case No. CV-10-4712-JF (N.D. Cal. March 28, 2011).

There is also two other court cases: MySpace v. The Globe.com and MySpace v. Wallace.

In the later, the court concluded that "[t]o interpret the Act in the limited manner as advocated by [d]efendant would conflict with the express language of the Act and would undercut the purpose for which it was passed." Id. This Court agrees that the Act should be interpreted expansively and in accordance with its broad legislative purpose.

The court defined "electronic mail address" as meaning nothing more specific than "a destination . . . to which an electronic mail message can be sent, and the references to local part and domain part and all other descriptors set off in the statute by commas represent only one possible way in which a destination can be expressed.

Basically, in order to follow the spirit of the law the definition of "email" expanded, with traditional email like user@example.invalid being just one example of many forms of "email".

This is probably good for re-normalizing behavior.

The corporation is not your friend, and it can quickly turn on you. The bigger the corporation is, the less your realistic impact above replacement is. You may think you can climb the pyramid but it is very difficult to do so in a meaningful way at the mega corps.

If you want to work nights and weekends, do it for yourself or a small company where you can make a difference in outcomes.

"Netflix does contribute financially to the FreeBSD Foundation and has done so since 2012. Last year they engaged at the "platinum" level with contributing more than $50,000+ USD to the foundation." (2019)

Took about five seconds to Google, it's the first result for "netflix donations to freebsd".

NFLX Q3 2019 earnings were about $5.2B.

So about 0.001%, I guess.
I think it's potentially in scope, but optional - there are other problems more urgent to solve, and then with more powerful compute and font technology, it's possible to go past TeX into microtypography (some of which was done in hz, but not really widely adopted). Either way, to do Knuth-Plass paragraph optimization, you need lots of metrics of the words to decide the line breaks, and to do the micro stuff, you need even more fine-grained information from the font. Breaking that across a process boundary is... tricky.

Special education you got is not reserved for those diagnosed with retardation. You did not even said that you was diagnosed with retardation. The other kids who called you retard are not experts in this particular diagnosis.

There is no reason for school or experts to retract that claim, because they never made it. The claim was done by other kids.
Never got my Pebble Time 2 either and I'm still sad about it today.

The continuous trickle of articles about how great these second generation Pebbles turned out, and my ongoing wait for an alternative that comes even close certainly haven't helped me forget!

Leaving you with $48,000 to $72,000 for everything else, roughly twice as much as much as the median pretax individual income. The horror.
> I think it is self evident why creating artificial scarcity is immoral, but the point you are trying to make is that from a utilitarian standpoint you think it is preferable to behave in a way that is immoral in the micro scale since it will create greater good in the macro scale. If you agree, then I don't think there's any need to justify my belief here :)

I'll start with the end, I don't think the "immoral on the micro scale" idea makes much sense. Like, you can say it's "bad" or "annoying" on the micro scale, but if it is good for society as a whole to create artificial scarcity, it just isn't immoral for society to provide mechanisms to create it.

I also don't think it's self-evident that it's "immoral" on the small scale (though not sure what that means, since artificial scarcity is kind of a society-level mechanism.)

That said, maybe I'm just bumping on your use of the word immoral and we're not really disagreeing.

> That said, I also think that it is unclear that copyright is a net positive increase to creation and sharing of innovations. The current state of monetization is not inspiring since the actual creators usually are not well compensated and money tends to stay with large corporations that are essentially just "right holders". There's also many factors that actively stifle innovation and creativity.

This has been a talking point of people against copyright for a long time (I've been having these discussions for at least 20 years, personally).

But I think that you're basically wrong. It's pretty easy to see that you're wrong too - just look at the state of news, the state of music, etc. In most cases, artists today make far less money than they made before the rise of pirated alternatives. Patreon/other models/etc have helped some, but nowhere near where things were before.

In fact, you talk about the current state of compensation being bad, but I think that it would make more sense to listen to actual artists about whether or not copyright helps them or not. I've listened to a bunch, and most of them couldn't come close to doing what they love without copyright.

Also, personally, I'm a software dev. Most of what I do on a day-to-day basis is create IP. I'm fairly happy that someone can't just come along and repurpose everything I built, for free. Otherwise, I'm fairly sure I'd be out of a job.

(I'm fairly sure that without copyright/IP, most software we use wouldn't exist either.)
Seems to me like the guy was a nob. Tried to be funny with the new boss. Got sacked. Blog posts about it because, you know... people need to know.
I don't want a holiday party, extraneous dinners, random gifts, or any kind of thing where the employer thinks "yeah, that will make them happy or improve morale". I just want the money. Take all that money and redistribute it back into my paycheck when you can. Nothing beats seeing extra money show up in your paycheck.
because responsibility without consequences is pointless?
The media doesn't normally latch on to metrics that include people not looking for work as they look for the cheap and easy soundbites, but the government counts them. There are many measures of unemployment to account for all the different ways you might want to look at things. Why wouldn't they maintain multiple measures of unemployment? It is obviously something that cannot be summed up in a single figure.

Well, I didn't say 'government censorship', and I think it's redundant. Which might be just me, but you can Google "difference moderation censorship" and see that this is a generally accepted view.

I cannot speak about your specific company - I don't know which one you work for. Nonetheless, I would clarify few things

- I like working on initiatives that yield high impact. There's a correlation between "your work having more observable impact" in early-stage startups. For what its worth, I have worked at a public startup (one of the largest companies in its sector) and a unicorn startup: at both places, my appetite for working on "high ownership projects" was fulfilled.

- I don't jump for "the next big thing" - if that was the case, I'd jump from crypto to AI to Web3 startups but thats not the case. For me, the role/function is critical. I know for a fact that I won't do well at a bank (which is where my career started from) because I'd get bored. But a larger org like Adidas or Mercedes-Bez or Booking.com etc that work on some interesting problems? Sign me up!

- "but if the only thing that keeps you in one role is growing the company to $xM" - Not true. I do love high-impact projects - I am certain I am not alone in it. If anything, I have a demonstrated streak of ownership and bringing results. But, looking at the results, I was asked by the SVP to help with few different tasks (Expansion in a key geography; partnerships across EMEA/APAC; and product ownership and implementation of a 3rd party SaaS tool).

Posting this as its own top level comment for better visibility:

It's extremely expensive outside the US and can't be sent over wifi - so if you're communicating with someone abroad it's not a very convenient option. You're also missing out on E2EE and, lastly, Apple has corrupted the utility of it as a communication method for half of the devices out there.
>as the stakes in a discussion forum or media are not "survival".

I mean, as discussion forms commonly dox people, or brigade and convince members to go kill people IRL I really think maybe you're incorrect.

>Gmail, for example, also has spam filters, but we don't consider it moderation...

We whom? This has been debated on HN for as long as HN existed. Most would consider it moderation, but seemingly as a whole we have given up the battle as spammers are a plague of locust that will consume all.

No, AGPLv3 allows for adding an additional term regarding trademark. Signal-desktop is using the default APGLv3 without such a term.

I wonder if anyone has tried to train an AI that can distinguish between meaningless gibberish and something with true information content. Obviously very subjective, but seems like a crucial question going forward.

(This is a different problem than distinguishing between AI generated content and human generated.)
Definitely not. Not in the absolute way that you phrased the question.

Psychology is a clear factor which acts as a positive feedback loop, but raising the cost of money/credit is very, very real to a lot of businesses. The immediate effect it has on the cost of loan service for cars and houses will start to affect those markets pretty quickly, which spills over into homebuilders. And companies at the margins that have been surviving by cheap debt service will get pushed over into insolvency.

Then those closures and layoffs affect demand, that affects every other company in the economy. Those people couldn't afford houses and cars at any interest rate, and they're not buying computers or anything else as well, they're probably trying to sell their used cars for some cash. Since everyone's spending is someone else's demand then as spending contracts demand destruction ripples through the economy.

The psychological effect is another positive feedback loop, though, and it will cause the correction to overshoot to the downside.

At the same time, though, this means that assets are on a fire sale, and the rich people who have cash on the sidelines can step in and buy up even more of the country, which does put a floor under the crash.
This is on point

I advocate for that here: https://www.belfercenter.org/publication/bridging-based-rank...

And Twitter's Birdwatch (that Elon recently got all excited about when it fact checked the White House: https://twitter.com/metaviv/status/1587884806020415491) actually does this "bridging-based ranking" for adding context on tweets.
