A somewhat surprisingly modern thing about Pocklington's observation is that he treats all polynomials as equivalent for his purposes:

> the labour required here is proportional to a power of the logarithm of the modulus, not to the modulus itself or its square root as in the indirect processes, and hence see that in the case of a large modulus the direct process will be much quicker than the indirect

Specifically, he's pointing out that asymptotically any power of the logarithm of n will be smaller than a constant times n.

Physicists also naturally know about asymptotic comparisons, but the "this algorithm asymptotically beats that algorithm because it's (log n)^k₁ vs. k₂*n" is pretty darn similar to the way we think about this today!
Curious if anyone realized this early & either:

* tried to sabotage a specific employee by getting their unique copy & leaking it

The risk/reward for a company here seems very poor. I would imagine this blows up in the face of the company often.

I highly doubt that the firing at Twitter was in any way precise enough to keep the good and get rid of the bad. IMO the "overpaid incompetent managers" are all still there and any actual qualified person has been fired, left or will leave soon.

A little bit but not much. They're a contactor, a GFCI, some current sensors and limiters, a small section to determine if the EVSE is operating at L1 or L2, and a small microcontroller to control it all. They're very simple devices.

Typing latency in Notion is generally worse than Google Docs because our renderer & input handling is less efficient than Docs. Docs has substantial lead over Coda, Notion, Dropbox Paper, etc because they use a custom layout engine for presentation that is entirely separate from the input surface. Notion, Paper, etc instead use the Web’s built-in but flawed API for rich text editing called “ContentEditable”. In ContentEditable, generally the rendered output DOM nodes are also the input surface. This is much less expensive to implement, but comes with a bunch of limitations and constraints.

Based on the article, it's not clear that they are breaking any law, and in fact Texas passed the Reasonable Childhood Independence law that should allow this. Lots of people are to blame here, but the cops escalated by arresting her on a flimsy basis. The incident could have stopped there.

> "your work" as in work that you did, not work that you own. a picasso painting is still a picasso painting even in a private collection. if your next line is "coding is just work and not art" then please tone down the capitalism

First, I made no such claim about coding, work, art, capitalism, or otherwise so lets not try and put words into my mouth that was never said, or even implied.

Second, if you are an artist and someone has paid and is continuing to pay you to generate more art…if you cannot handle their criticism (valid or not) of that art, you have the choice to leave and go elsewhere to create art on your own, or find another benefactor that appreciates you.

My criticism is not of these two engineers, they did what they did and I frankly don’t care. Their actions resulted in an obvious and expected consequence that would have happened anywhere and for any other boss. My criticism is for the people here on HN who feel that they should not have been fired. That is frankly ridiculous.

Hotels do tend to have a cancelation policy though (which is increasingly a day or two in advance rather than 6pm day of even for for not-charged-in-advance flexible reservations). You pay in advance for tons of other services (concerts, plays, etc.) and they're often non-refundable. Trains and transit also pay in advance in my experience. The main difference with planes is that, while you can pay for a ticket at the airport, it will be expensive, there's a decent chance they won't have a seat, and you'll get the worst seat choice.

Yes, there are a few services you post-pay like restaurants and taxis but you probably don't want to make a practice of running out on your bill.

Rental cars are something of an outlier in that, in the US, you can mostly book with major brands and just not show up with no penalty.
I expect that the pushback will come from insurance companies; a letter from the insurance company saying "we won't cover you if an e-bike catches fire" becomes a letter from the landlord saying "we will evict if you store an e-bike in your apartment."
> Neat rule, but, it won't work.

You'd get the benefit of easier to reason about code everywhere you used it, even if others within the codebase don't. Using that argument, we would argue that it's never worth trying to find a cleaner way to implement something because maybe some intern some day will do something weird in a different part of the code base. We don't have to drop down to the lowest common denominator for code quality and we benefit every time we simplify things, even if not everyone does.
It's not. It's a problem with people trying to sell FP to non FP programmers. A non FP programmer doesn't care about monads. They care about making what they already do simpler and clearer.

WSL2 just exchanged the performance problems with the Linux guest environment's native filesystem for performance problems when the Linux guest accesses Windows' filesystem. Those are still there and they're still atrocious.
Ask HN: Twitter Competitors?
Aside from Mastodon, are there alternative platforms to twitter? Is anyone building one? In particular, with:

1) Blue checkmarks for real people
2) Enough community traction with people I want to follow
3) Enough moderation to limit fake accounts

I'm beginning to think that Twitter will still have a great product even post-takeover. As long as they don't get rid of verification and have decent uptime, for lack of a competitor, I think the company will survive. Points (1) and (2) above make Twitter incredibly useful.

I'm also worried that this might reduce the value of software engineers across the industry, if Twitter succeeds despite longer hours with worse compensation. If 9-9-6 culture works in Silicon Valley, would everyone else follow suit?

Investigate, absolutely. The cops need to do that as well. However, as someone else pointed out "Child services had the family agree to a safety plan" is not investigating. That's taking action and making a threat: "if you don't agree to this we'll take you to court and let a judge sort it out at your expense."

> Still not sure what I should have done

If you don't know which house the kid belongs in, the first thing I would do is to find out. Start knocking on doors and asking if it's their kid.

Now that you do know, the obvious thing to do is to introduce yourself to the neighbors and describe what their kid was doing. They're new to the neighborhood so you can pitch it as letting them know that there are a lot of passing cars at that point and kids should be aware of the danger.

What's curious to me is that some languages, and writing systems, preserve better than others.

Latin, having become a dead language used principally by the Church and for a time science / natural philosophy, remains highly-readable across centuries so long as you read Latin. Similarly for classical Greek.

I'm given to understand that Arabic, itself significantly preserved in the Quaran as a literal verbatim transmission from the 7th century.

Written Chinese, zhōngwén, or 中文, is logosyllabic, where symbols represent the concepts rather than the phonetic representation of a syllable. It is not only generally readable across millennia, but even across largely mutually-unintelligible dialects of Chinese, or other languages (Korean and Japanese, for example).

Contrast written English which becomes highly idiosyncratic even only a couple of centuries ago (long-S, nonuniform spellings, highly stylised and formalised expressions), and both difficult to read and understand (verbally) from as few as five centuries ago.

Shakespeare, for example: <https://yewtu.be/watch?v=YiblRSqhL04>

Hamlet's "To be or not to be" soliloquy <https://yewtu.be/watch?v=qYiYd9RcK5M>

Beowulf (c. 700--1000 AD): <https://yewtu.be/watch?v=qYiYd9RcK5M>

Numerous of the modern languages of Europe (Spanish, English, French, German) date only to about 900--1,000 CE or so, and the forms spoken then would be difficult or impossible for most moderns to understand. Written forms ... often didn't exist at all (government and business being transacted in Latin, Greek, or Arabic throughout much the region).

I don't understand your concern here. Sailboats can only sail ~45 degrees to the wind. This is a powerboat, so it can motor any direction, including directly upwind. Assuming the 5 knots is a hydrodynamic limitation of the (admittedly very silly) hull design rather than an engine power limitation (most likely, because you could always spec a more powerful motor), the boat could still go 5 knots any direction, including directly upwind into a storm.

Just because a boat is slow doesn't mean it can't handle a storm, even more-so with powerboats than sailboats. Case in point, look at old fashioned displacement trollers, e.g. an old wooden salmon troller. These usually have an ~8 knot top speed yet can run directly upwind into a storm for days on end with no problem, at almost exactly the same speed as they would go downwind... because the speed limitation is entirely from the hull speed and not affected by wind. Boats like that have been weathering the worst ocean storms for over a hundred years safely and reliably.
