In what way is NASA implying self-sacrifice? I think you might be shoe-horning some personal commentary here. I’ve met some who became civil servants explicitly because they weren’t motivated primarily by profit. But it was still maximizing some other feature that added ton their well-being. It wasn’t self sacrifice.

>I know it's gauche to suggest that people are motivated by money, but it's a fact that they are, even in affairs of the heart

We probably fundamentally disagree here. Again, I’m not saying people aren’t motivated by money. I’m saying they aren’t only motivated by money. The people I’ve met that think human interactions can be distilled to such a simple principle tend to struggle in their personal relationships in my experience.

The fact that you’re willing to type away on HN instead of trying to make more money tells me you know it’s a balancing act.
Besides, I think people are more motivated by status (being the hierarchical primates that we are) and money is just a clumsy proxy for status. For example, status chasing men are more apt to date a beautiful but poor female than a rich homely one.
Is it really surprising? Our primary role in society is to distort the internet, a platform who could be used for the most outstanding purposes of cooperation and advancement of the collective human condition, into an increasingly restrictive and mundane collection of computerised schemes to translate our attention into advertisement revenue.
The idea of CPU being compressible is very insightful, thanks.

I'm curious about what happens with time control though. Engines can be given a time constraint and will use various heuristics to allocate that time. How does Hermit intercept gettimeofday()?
Doesn't git's rerere help here?
There are docs and then there are Docs. I think documents should be treated as source code. Go through a proper PR process so that you know what the latest and greatest is. Maintaining a wiki is one of the worst ways to document. It just creates a sprawl that is hard to control. I deal with it on a daily basis but have had little success with getting my team moving to our source control system for documents.
But to parent's question, what does having them open allow you to do?

I understand the existential dread of closing a useful-or-interesting-but-unread tab. But isn't this what bookmarks were created to solve?
Agree. If possible the documentation should live in / be generated from the code as well.

I'm not checking confluence, write it in a ".md" file in the repo if you want me to see it.
I think it's precisely this. Even just providing specs or engineering time can be seen as "support" on some level and Apple doesn't want any responsibility whatsoever associated with that. They're avoiding external dependency at all costs.
Interesting metaphor you chose.

Yes, it is the fault of the motorcycle. You can "fall off" a motorcycle because of the design of a motorcycle, and it's something that doesn't happen with a car. Cars have risks when speeding as well, but they're different, and lesser, because of the protections afford by the car itself.

It's like you're subtly trying to highlight how terrible crypto is, but not realizing it.

Let's expand the decentralized web without building a crypto wall around it.
Love the ASCII version, but totally buying to support the devs.
That's not next-gen. Federation has existed since the 90s in the form of P2P trackers and other networking paradigms. HTTP has everything to do with it because Mastodon is built on a client-server model (not a peer-to-peer one) which is the textbook definition of a Web2 network.
I have encountered numerous sites that port scan localhost via websocket/img onerror/etc.
I travel around with two MacBook Pros, two smartphones, and a PS4. All of this fits in my backpack, and it’s a mild pain to go through airport security, but it’s not too bad.

What I’d do is ask yourself which of these things you REALLY need and take those in a carry on. Putting laptops in checked luggage may be difficult, as they don’t like lithium ion batteries because of the risk of fire in the luggage compartment. Shipping used electronics is risky, probably expensive, and perhaps impossible.

It all depends on how customs works. For example, shipping a laptop to Mexico with an import partner is quite difficult, and Indonesia may not allow it at all. Shipping to a Western European country may require paying a lot in import duties.

What I’d do if I were you I’d this. Put everything you can carry into one backpack. Put the stuff you could afford to lose in a carry on suitcase, which they could potentially make you check if overhead luggage is full (pack with some padding, like put things between your clothes or whatever). Try carrying it through and see what happens. They may not stop you, and if they do, just be prepared to pay a fee or abandon your equipment.

Another option could be just making two trips, or paying someone to fly with you.

You can encrypt drives if you want, but that could be a pain if they ask you to turn in the equipment. That happens. Maybe just backup the stuff you need and wipe the drives if you’re really concerned about security.

Good luck!

The virtue is, software has some idea what a UUID is. There's a mostly-random version which is also understood.

If you want to start doing your own thing, a random number is good. It's hard to get a good random number. I suggest starting with, hey you guessed it, the UUID library.
I'm not sure what point you're making.

Knowing an IP address is useless information, until you have a database linking IP addresses to geolocation. Knowing my address is useless information, until you have a map. Knowing my name is useless, until you have Google. Knowing my user id is useless, until you have a leaked database (or other vulnerability).

These are all PII, because they're useless until you have some other information, and then they deanonymize you.
We might be colleagues then.
C# also declined to make the mistake of type erasure.
> But, most importantly, the fundamental issue is that all classes are optional by default in Java (indeed, that's the problem at hand). Adding an Optional class doesn't really mean you can make any non-nullability assumptions about other classes, especially when using different libraries. The Optional class just added more complexity while simplifying very little.

When pron mentioned "this is actively being worked on", he meant exactly this problem. [1] [2] Java is currently working on changing the dynamics of the language such that classes can in fact be non-nullable. Last I checked in, this was the notion of `primitive` types being added in project Valhalla.

Optional just so happens to be one of the types in the JDK that will converted over to being a `primitive` type.

Now, what that means in terms of existing code I believe what's being discussed. How do you handle

public Optional<Foo> bar() { return null; }

?

We'll see, it might be something like changing the code to something like this

public Optional<Foo>.val bar() { return Optional.empty(); }

which would guarantee that the optional type returned is in fact never null.

Detroit won the freedom to eliminate small gas cars from their product line in exchange for investing in electric vehicles which might be bad in the short term.

I remember my dad going to American car dealerships in the 1970s who would try very hard not to sell him a small car. Lately I've seen Japanese car dealerships trying the same game. (e.g. you can't buy a new Honda Fit because they said the factory washed out in a flood, but they have 30 CR-Vs that are made in the same factory in stock) Rumor has it that Honda and Toyota would like to get rid of the Civic and Corolla but it's hard to do when they know people will pay a 50% markup or more to get a used one. (e.g. some people's idea of a 'quality' car is that it starts when you turn the key and the head gasket doesn't blow out at 17,000 miles -- that is, not a Cadillac)
What does this say about the Chinese room argument?

Is the model a Chinese room or does it understand the game. If it's just a Chinese room, how come it is so effective, if it understands the game how can it be possible with just a rule machine?

Quality by far. There are a few domain names that I blindly trust. There are a few authors whose articles I blindly queue in my reading list.

Which, in the US, is paid by the vendor, and so invisible. And worth it, given the protections against fraud, etc.

If you're claiming that there are vendors giving a 2.5% discount for using crypto for anything, you've got some evidence to produce.

P.S. It's not always 2.5%, either. Could be 1.5% at scale.
> No, it's literally undecidable in principle whether every bit of assembler correctly restores some register R. For any given bit of inline assembler, it's quite likely to be trivial.

Exactly. And if it's non-trivial to decide something that basic, you're doing it wrong. Saving and restoring all the registers is always an option. Only saving and restoring some of them is an optimization which must be shown to be sound.
"it" (in "it matches the hash") = "the next sequential number", not "the commit message", afaict. Not very clear, I agree.

Every time this argument comes up I get a sudden urge to eat refried beans for some reason.
I was in the same situation when I left a comfortable job to do a startup. What sounds different is that it's unimaginable to me that anyone would do this without their spouse being onboard. My wife and I talked about this and prepped for months, saving money and going the bootstrap route. We pivoted along the way in different directions that we thought were the right way to go, but always kept our heads above water because we did it together. After crashing and burning in 2008, I went into consulting and have been doing fine. I'll probably do it again before long, using lessons learned from earlier mistakes. The thing is, we have no regrets of saying "What if" because we gave it our best shot.
So what? Everyone should do it for there own reasons and not care.

I'm always fascinated by Dwarf Fortress whenever I cross paths with it, particularly from a technical architecture point of view. How did they architect the history simulation? How do they efficiently update everything on each tick? What is the game loop like?

If anyone has any resources or links to articles, either definitive from the DW developer, or conjecture based on exploration and research, I'd love to learn more about how DF works.

Glad to know that over 6000 people who died as a direct result of constructing stadiums is 'peanuts'.

Yes, we have problems in the West, including modern slavery in certain industries. But last time I checked, we didn't use slaves to build the stadiums hosting our events nor did thousands of people die unnecessarily during construction. There is a very direct cause and effect correlation here that absolutely did not need to happen given the obvious wealth held in Qatar.
The level of detail in Dwarf Fortress is amazing. Just take a look at this bug report: https://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/view.php?id=9195

TLDR: Code was added that allowed substances to accumulate on fur. Cats lick their fur to clean themselves. Due to the calculation used for intoxication and body weight, cats kept getting lethally drunk from walking through spilled beer and licking it off of their feet.

This level of detail leads to tons of emergent game play and stories.
Planning this myself.

I use a Pelican 1495 briefcase and I carry it with me at all times. It's waterproof and padded and terribly strong. It locks (non TSA approved, so carryon only!) with a passcode. I carry a small laptop and a desktop replacement in this case, along with some paper, a mouse, a bluetooth keyboard, two chargers, a bag of adapters, and a partridge in a pear tree.
I think they just want to point out that black is one of the available 16 colors, meaning that there are just 15 colors not counting black.

Good question.

Among a number of other safeguards that I mentioned in a reply above, we often use well established and reputable data sources that either 1) already have restrictions on their employees trading on the event or 2) we enter into data licensing agreements with and require those restrictions to be put.

We also run KYC and pass all the participants through Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) list, which allows us to flag people that are potentially close with a lot of our data sources (BLS, Nasa, MTA, etc.).

Our surveillance systems also do a great job of flagging weird activity (more in the post above) and anyone who we find to have done something wrong can be fined all the way to criminally prosecuted by the CFTC.

In short, a lot of similar safeguards to what you have against insider trading in stocks.

> Well I didn't stop another player from getting one of the final Power Ring cards and he flipped the F!&%$ out. "How could you not block her! She's guaranteed to win on her next turn now! You suck at this game!" Bro, I'm just trying to power up my batman. It's not a very competitive game.

Ohhhhh yeah, there's "expert" players who hate when others don't play "correctly". You even see it in poker with pros getting really mad when someone wins with an "incorrect" play (among actual pros this can be a sign of cheating, but some of them still get mad when non-pros do it).

Some of these like to try to "puppet" other players into doing the right thing, and my god, just... please don't. A helpful pointer or three after a play or after the game is great. The odd "uh oh, if so-and-so gets X on their next turn, it's all over!" said to no one in particular can be OK in many games. Telling people what to do while they're playing, more than very occasionally, is awful though.

I do kinda get it, it can be frustrating when you play with someone who gives the game to another player who shouldn't have won on that turn if the other'd made the obviously-correct play, but that's just part of playing a game with a mixed-skill set of players and you gotta roll with it.

Yeah, 'Days since a car did not crash into another car. hence why all cars are dangerous and will never take off over horse and carriages'. - Car skeptic.

By now there should have been a worldwide 100% complete total ban on crypto a long time ago, just like the usage of Tor. Why didn't this happen? It's simply due to the fact that it is close to impossible to ban all of it. Regulators and crypto skeptics already know this, and instead both crypto supporters and skeptics will compromise and enforce regulations on cryptocurrencies, exchanges, etc.

Hence, only some cryptocurrencies, exchanges will survive past regulations and will continue to be widely used. I'm afraid crypto is here to stay like it or not.
They are usually not particularly sophisticated nor thorough.
Heavily recommended to any management-sim fans. It takes the best mechanics from games like The Sims, Factorio and Dwarf Fortress without watering them down or limiting the modding community. The price is on the steep side, but the developer is great and works with the community plus releases native builds for Mac, Linux and Windows.

Fair enough; Nae True Scotsman is always annoying, and big-R Rationalists aren’t any better at avoiding such fallacies than anyone else (to their credit, the ones I pay attention to are also annoyed by this).

What I’m seeing is mostly online rather than in person meetings; these discussions are “could we have spotted this nonsense sooner?” (general consensus: “probably not, his investors and auditors didn’t and that’s not our skillset”), and “hang on, wasn’t this[0] a red flag?” (which generally gets left unresolved as they get nerd-sniped on the actual discussion rather than staying focused on if it should’ve been a warning sign).

How much is enough? With the dwindling labor force, 40 hours is going to be the minimum. Automating everything is a pipe dream. It's really hard, the break-through tech isn't there, and there are not enough engineers to build robots for all those tasks.
Yep absolutely, it's not for everyone. One question I'd ask of you is do you exercise regularly? The one thing I'd say that gave me the kind of energy to be "on" all the time is having a daily exercise/cardio routine and changing my eating habits. Not saying this works for everyone, but the effect that doing that had on my life was enormous.
So are you just so into crypto you've lost track of what real life is like?

As a Rimworld lover who couldn't quite get past the ASCII in Dwarf Fortress, I'm super excited for the upcoming release! Rimworld has been a blast and I've heard the two games have many similarities (with Rimworld maybe being a slightly more approachable game that's a bit shallower).
