LaTeX can virtually produce anything I need/want:

- algorithm pseudocode

- cooking recipe

- flowchart

- Karnaugh map

- chess board notation

- etc

Beautiful output, but sometimes the process isn't easy. Does Texmacs over some advantages over LaTex? If yes, I'm willing to learn.
I use various tools for typing LaTeX code: sometimes vim, sometimes Texmaker, sometimes Lyx.

Once I'm tempted to replace LaTeX with AsciiDoctor, unfortunately it lacks the ability to write complex math equations into PDF file.

How is overcommunicating a bad thing in a remote work environment? That post was written in 2013, when most IT companies required to work on site. If you're several time zones away, you do need to overcommunicate.

How is promoting your own achievements a bad thing in the context of overcoming obstacles? Why should teams endorse a culture where achievements are not celebrated nor announced?

This comments nails it in that taking good stuff to the extreme can be bad. And that's about it. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33759950
I've worked on this idea too, except a little inverted. Everybody is a full member of the coop, but those who bring in more earn credits which can be used to fund new projects or bump up salaries to a point.

You don't need to reach a consensus, you can just have an internal marketplace, like kickstarter. If you want something done, you can help fund it, perhaps getting some benefits in return, like a best-effort ROI.
Ah, so they're repeat offenders. How's it go again? Cache invalidation, naming tconcurrencyhings, , and off-by-one errors?
This has been my conclusion. Access to good Healthcare, in less than an hour or two is one of thr greatest luxury there is. Choosing to go without that is a real concession.
> Decision-making in cooperatives can be very daunting for beginners.

Having 13 years+ of experience in cooperatives I can tell you that it is daunting even for old-timers. We started off with most decisions being made in weekly meeting (that sometimes dragged on for most of the day), and ended up with having monthly meetings for the large decisions, but weekly meetings in smaller groups instead. In short, meetings everywhere, about all things large and small. Meetings about whether to have consensus or majority rule, about whether the principle that everyone needs to follow a decision is sound etc etc.

Personality might have something to do with it. But making fast about turns that you sometimes need to do in a business setting is nigh impossible, which is actually hazardous to everyone in the cooperative. This might even be the primary reason cooperatives (being an old idea) hasn't survived other than as a fringe phenomena.
It wasn't that long ago that I was hearing about how audits were impossible at the Pentagon and they would just give up whenever it was attempted. This sounds like progress.
Because in the current climate that's not a sure thing..

If FAANGs* remove themselves from the equation due to hiring freezes or redundancies a lot of people will be left earning below FAANG pay in a non co-operative environment.

It is proposing joining a co-operative as a possible alternative to that.

That, and it's not always about the money. It's surprisingly rewarding working outside of monetisation of attention.

*Or whatever the latest acronym is
Fascinating!

Are there any good documentary style videos that dive into some of such details of chips and microprocessor architectures?
Why don't we all just join FAANG and make the big bucks? That's kind of a ridiculous statement on its face. There are multiple reasons why someone may not want to work for a FAANG company.
I recently wondered, and I assume the answer is on the website that is currently down, about what guarantees that Web Archive will survive longer than your standard website?

What makes it an archive in terms of longevity? Is it backed by governments or NGOs? What if the funding stops? Etc.
To add to what others said, you will get social skills there. Being lonely for a long time makes you loose social skills. It makes presence of other people very tiring and difficult.

Starting with a shallow place where you can observe how others interact and relearn basic conversation and interpersonal skills help incredibly a lot.

> Well this one is just plain wrong. (...) Yes, the set of turing machines that halt in fewer than some fixed N steps is decidable.

That is NOT the problem I mentioned. Programs that use a finite amount of memory do not necessarily halt, ever!

But the problem I mentioned is also decidable. We already know of algorithms that can always determine if a program that uses a finite amount of memory halts or not.

> This is not interesting. It is pedantry.

Actually, what is not interesting is analyzing problems that can only exist on super-powerful imaginary machines (i.e. with a truly mathematically infinite tape, which is a very absurd feature to have) that do not fundamentally represent what computers can do.

In the real world, truly infinitely-large things (and I'm talking about true mathematical infinity) cannot ever exist or be built. And even if they were to exist, they would never be accessible to us.

So I'd prefer to have a model of computation that functionally represents what computers can actually do and then extract my conclusions using this model (in which many problems are decidable), rather than an imaginary super-powerful model which actually has more limitations (as many problems are undecidable) than models of computers.

I mean, if you like solving imaginary problems that do not represent what can exist or be built in the real world, I mean, sure, fine, that's OK with me. But if you use such an absurd model, then don't extract absurd conclusions and then tell me that these conclusions apply to real computers.

> But it isn't. And I've told you. You'll increase the running time of useful programs by hideous amounts. Like "won't finish executing until the universe ends" amounts.

No. Restricting yourself to analyzing a subset of problems does not "increase the running time" of anything.

Why? Because you can use the same algorithms that work for analyzing programs that use infinite memory (the undecidable ones) and you can also use additional algorithms that only work for programs that use finite memory (the decidable ones).

Which means that you have additional tools at your disposal, which means that the problem can be solved in an equal or better way.

To be clear, I'm not saying that we currently know of such efficient algorithms that only work for programs that use finite memory.

I'm saying that it might be possible to create such algorithms given that the problem is decidable.

There are large cooperatives, but only in "solved" industries so there aren't many hard decisions left to make. Programming is not one of those fields yet.
> I got the distinct feeling I was being sold something while reading it, and the last paragraph confirmed it.

I have this feeling medium is being kept alive on the shoulders of other companies’ marketing teams in an attempt to write thinly-veiled sales pitches disguised as blog posts from a “neutral” 3rd party.

Coupled with the zero-life-experience blogger trope, the signal to noise ratio on medium is practically nil.
Same here, 502 consistently.
This period is going to be studied as one of history’s bizarre moments, that people in the future will have trouble understanding. The fact that no major western country, or major political party, strongly condemned those lockdown measures at the time is astounding.

But even crazier is the fact that now that everybody seems to have finally agreed that « live with it » was the most sensible response, not a single major country i know of has performed any serious commission work to established what things went wrong and why. It’s like nothing has happened.
This was an insightful lecture, 30 minutes well spent! Thanks for sharing!
Yes, I am sure that most of the car people you know care a lot.
My wife and I were raised in the suburbs in Colorado, in relatively large homes/condos/apartments and we owned a decent sized home in the suburbs for a bit. We've steadily moved into smaller and smaller apartments, in denser and denser city areas until now when we live innthe heart of SF in a pretty small apartment. We're much happier. We also own an RV for when we need to get out of the city for a respite. If you look at total quality of life, at least how my wife and I see it, it's not really about maximizing your square footage and acreage, it's about maximizing your community and activities you love to do. The latter often points to a smaller more modest home, and more community and opportunity.
This is hilarious. Do you really propose to rebuild front end application every hour, tens to hundreds of pages, just to get the new exchange rate in the app? New tools have new ways to solve things, and this is the case where the new way makes much more sense - it is built in the stack, it scales well, and it solves the problem.

This sounds like an old man with a hammer, reminiscing of times where every single problem was a nail. True, hammer works for the threaded wood screws somewhat, but the new engineers with their electric screwdrivers are more efficient and build sturdier things.

Even if you are hell-bent on doing stuff the Linux way why not propose a pair of Systemd service and timer? At least there will be logs. Cron is such an antiquated way of doing things.
> those who bring in more earn credits which can be used to fund new projects or bump up salaries to a point.

So the solution to the problems with cooperatives is to introduce capitalism? Why not just make a normal company with normal money instead?
Also don't dismiss the fact that cops are less likely to intervene since the 2020 defund movement.
Just to double check my sshd settings I logged in to a server I have, and while it had "PasswordAuthentication no" set in the normal place in the config file, there was a line added to the very end of it "PasswordAuthentication yes", which I guess overrides the previous one.

The server is reinstalling the OS right now...

We anti-natalists see child-making as torture and murder against an innocent -- if you see someone murdering an innocent, surely it's normal to speak out against it and try to stop it. Child making is not about parents; you are free to do whatever you do with your own life, not to involve someone else by force.
While I hope yes, no.

Of course it could lead to something new! Nobody is debating that.

The point is that people point to the equivalent result for the electron as evidence that the existing theory is correct, when it gets only one correct out of the three leptons.

There is no guarantee that the "new" thing will be another step along the same path as the existing theory.

I very strongly suspect that we'll need to backtrack a bit, perhaps a lot, and then walk along another parallel path to get to that new thing.

It might look very similar, but the subtle differences can make all the difference in allowing forward progress.

B/c there is no sense of justice about it. It's just the arbitrary fickleness of some decision maker and it can't be appealed.

The US government alleges they (Huawei ZTE etc.) colluding to put backdoors in infrastructure equipment. The companies say "no we don't" and the US government just says "well.. we think you're lieing!" - and that's the end of the story. It's all just amateurish and undermines the rule of law and sense of fairness when dealing with America and the American market.

If there was some formal process where countries are semi-sanctioned and all thing made in some super long list of authoritarian countries was not allowed to be used in some other long list of "critical infrastructure" .. well at least there would be a sense of impartiality.

The way things stand.. it looks like Huawei's 5G and infrastructure technology got too good, it threatened the pseudo-monopolies of some big American companies with deep government connections, so the US bureaucrats curb-stomped them as best they could .. and now they can't even sell their laptops/cellphones in the US? It's just completely nonsensical, arbitrary and vindictive.

There is also just very little logic to it, b/c even if all the allegations about their tentacles in networking equipment are true and were proven to be true, why should I be prohibited from buying some completely unrelated consumer good - like a Huawei laptop, but an Apple or Lenovo laptop (also made in China) is totally fine? It's like the US government is in some state of war with these firms and is out to destroy them (based on no public evidence or accountability) - and the threat on US infrastructure seems to have devolved to be a convenient pretext.

Maybe the intentions of the US authorizes are good and pure and they have a good reason for all of this. But they way they're going about it is vindictive, authoritarian and undermines the impartial fairness of the American system
I bet in Seoul though they don't hesitate to just strip you of your drivers license completely for infractions like this. That's basically impossible to do in the us. We are utterly dependent on driving, and to strip someone of a license is to effectively remove their means of subsistence.
> Hours worked is the #1 driver of any worker’s output: use your right to monitor.

I don't think hours behind a screen have ever had much of a correlation with productivity for me. Autonomy, stress, being tasked with solutions that actually make long-term sense, etc. must have a much stronger correlation. The enormous erosion of trust that having my hours monitored would have would certainly impact my output.
I agree. This sort of thing becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy unfortunately, and the incentives that publicly traded companies are given do not align with going against the grain.

> This is silly pearl clutching, do you have any refutation of the arguments?

The refutation is that the tech sector is one of the largest beneficiaries of globalization, and practically would not exist in any recognizable form without it.

With measures like this (but by no means only this measure), the US is in the process of rolling back globalization, and the tech sector will suffer for it.
The startup went bust during the dot com bubble bursting when our series B fell through (like everyone else). I think a cooperative would be more future proof and not having a binary result.

In general I prefer cooperative work and have experienced too much antogonistic work in startups.
The problem is that in general "code" can't do that because the code that's switching stack doesn't necessarily conceptually control the stack it's switching to/from. One SS:SP might point to a userspace process, for instance, and the other SS:SP be for the kernel. Both stacks are "live" in that they still have data that will later be context switched back to. You might be able to come up with a convoluted workaround, but since "switch between stacks" was a design goal (and probably assumed by various OS designs they were hoping to get ports for), the race that meant you can't do it safely was definitely a design bug.

HR Geiger and Henson blending.

This (working with multiple folks from multiple linguistic backgrounds) has been the story of my career.

It's unavoidable, and a cost of doing business internationally.

IMO the personal conflicts you describe that arise in your situation aren't from the language challenges, it's from the company culture. Figure out how to extend those olive branches, be kind amd understanding to eachother, take the time to really connect and respect eachother and those problems will go away. In short, it's not a language problem but a culture/attitude problem. I've worked in teams like this that work well with minimal conflict, and ones that have lots of conflict. Both had the same language challenges, that's not the variable that's different between the two, its company culture and attitude.
That's not actually true.

Although it's bizarre because in the US 70-year-olds seem incredibly frail compared to 70-year-olds anywhere else.

Not really, you can just add more and more control points to a Bézier and it will be possible to describe a curve to a greater accuracy.

However, in reality when using Bézier curves you want to really want to use the minimum number of control point neccesery to ensure a nice smooth curve.

Very interesting stuff. I've been looking at and experimenting with similar ideas for a bit. Nothing professionally, but I'm excited to find more active work to follow gluing together manufacturing with fungus. Excited to poke at your github and have some things I'd very much like to talk to you about in the new year. I'll shoot you an email this week.
I agree it should've been added to the list, but you might not like the form it would take: "Are you a moneygrubbing asshole who's only concerned with compensation? Maybe a co-op isn't for you. Go work for an oil company or something instead, you fascist."
The point is what you mentioned. Teaching algebra when there are people struggling with fractions. Of course this gets us into the weeds of socioeconomic stratification, school funding, tracking for gifted kids or no tracking, etc.

This was my very non-scientific way of trying to decide between Nim & Zig as a new systems language to experiment with. The plan was to choose the one trending the most.

I added Rust and Dart as established comparisons. I also added the keyword "array" to filter out and non programming language searches. I tried the alternative filter word "string" and obtained similar results.

Extending the time window to 5 years still didn't show either one to be trending over the other.

Curiously, I did try Stack Overflow's trend page but zig and nim tags were missing.

There's no obvious winner (IMHO).
I'm currently part of the administration of a co-op. It's in Portugal and it's a Multisectorial co-op, meaning instead of being focused on one type of activity we do anything as long as we have a member with that skillset. We are an agregation of freelancers and small businesses that go from small scale farming, to web development or architecture. The coop serves as a way to have a lot of the nice things of a bigger corporation like someone to help you with burocratic processes while allowing people to keep their independence. People can be very involved in the decision making or just financially contribute to the central structure. We have both general assemblies where all members vote in a very horizontal process but the day to day work has hierarchies to keep processes going smoothly

The biggest thing I've learned from being part of this process is that co-ops vastly destroys competition among peers and replace that we the mindset of "what's the best way to benefit the collective". Best thing to make it work is that it's not just altruism, benefiting the collective benefits yourself. Kind of like OSS works.
Definitely somewhat racist.
Surveys also terrible because people answer them in 3 different ways on the whole and it’s impossible to figure out which ones are genuine:

- the participant answers the survey genuinely

- the participant answers the survey as the person they wishes they were

- the participant answers in a way they think the surveying organization wants to hear
This is a common mistake, actual functioning cooperatives operate like any other enterprise with an set executive structure a CEO and a board of directors. The big difference is the ownership model so shareholder meetings are basically employee meetings so a successful cooperative simply runs like any other business just one where the employees are treated as the shareholders they are when it comes to decision making the bad ones are the ones trying to run like a commune and reach a consensus on everything.
This is a weird example as Promise.all and Promise.race are what are pretty easy to write in Go:

Promise.all is trivial:

return <-a, <-b, <-c

Promise.race is a little longer:

select {
case x := <-a: return x
case x := <-b: return x
case x := <-c: return x
}

What Go doesn't do very well compared to promises is composing; composing channels, especially with error returns, is usually tricky. But async/await are also bad at this. Passing around the actual promise/futures objects is the best way, which is for some reason discouraged today in favor of await/async noise in most cases.
