In many European countries, leaving academia for a job in industry will make it hard to go back in case you don't like the new job. I'm a tenured full (CS) professor in Germany with some excursions to industry (research) and had to struggle quite a bit (and have a lot of luck) to be hired in my current position.

Maybe there are some alternatives you could try? Many universities offer the opportunity of a leave of absence for a year (or possibly more), so you could try out something else without having to fear losing your job - of course, your publication and funding record will still suffer, but this is maybe not so critical since you already have tenure.

Another idea might be to use some of the ideas from your research and try to commercialize them in a startup - perhaps together with some of your students? If this works well, you could also apply for a reduction of your position at the university to spend more time at the startup.

Also, applying for a position at a different university (possibly in a different country) might be an idea? Of course, this might be a less attractive option considering you just bought a house.

I remember reading about it in one of Martin Kleppmann’s papers, though I can’t remember which one.

It’s an ordering problem that comes from some of the simpler ordering algorithms. For Diamond types I’m using a variant of Yjs’s ordering. But even RGA doesn’t have this problem because each character’s insert location is specified by naming the character immediately to the left when that character was typed.

This repository implements a few different list CRDTs using an insertion sort approach, where the algorithm scans for the appropriate location every time an insert happens. This is the scanning function for RGA (automerge’s algorithm):

If you use a rinse aid in your dishwasher I bet you’d find harmful results.

Home detergent does contain AES (sulfates) but it gets rinsed pretty well. However if you use rinse aid, the rinse water itself has surfactants (AES, more sulfates), which will remain on the dishware- that’s the whole point actually, so the water beads off.
> Apple's objection was on legality of sending Bitcoin in the regions our app was available, so I suggested we could file a legal brief as part of our appeal.

> Brian's response was they had already tried that and that Apple was unswayed by their brief.

A legal brief would go to a judge. This sounds like an appeal written by a lawyer, submitted on behalf of one company to another. Not the same thing.

Or maybe there was a legal case and they filed a brief. Then it would be a judge who decides whether the brief is convincing, not Apple.
Of course nobody is using 1kw in lighting any more, so the contrived example is already out of date. I don't know what to tell you, the utility engineer is exactly right and 37.5kv transformers serving 15 houses was a completely standard amount of power to be delivered in the past -- which is exactly his point. All of the heat pumps and electric cars are going to require massive infrastructure upgrades because many neighborhoods are still served by the old infra.
I contributed because the company I worked for needed new functionality, then I decided it was interesting to make it generic enough to release to everyone. I did it a little bit as something to throw on the resume, but no idea if it helped to get my current job.
well, yes. pest and rodent removal and such.
Hmm apple still makes great hardware but I think software wise quality has suffered and this quote applies…

For example on you phone you will get a red alert in settings … when you click it … says Try apple music for 3 months .. or will say setup apple pay … or sometimes say sign in with icloud. (even after declining multiple times)

These are just ads disguised as systems alerts … hurts the experience and comes off as cheap.

Also on Apple Computers and Phones alike it keeps asking to sign in and use icloud. But then gives you only 5gigs of space … not enough to even backup your phone and then tries to upsell a monthly fee for expanded storage.

The software is designed to confuse users into purchasing when simply taking photos. New iphone with 64 gigs of storage 40 gigs free …. user gets message they are out of space in icloud and can purchase more space. They are quite aware that many users are not savy enough to know they don’t need to use icloud at all with photos or anything. Every time you update the phone it prompts you to “sign in” or “create and account”. Again comes off as cheap and pushy.

I can go on and on but money crunchers are definitely at the table with software these days.
I "inherited" one of these from a colleague about a decade ago when his girlfriend really wanted him to get rid of a "bunch of crap". I got his box of approx. 100 floppy disks from his childhood too.

I had very mixed feelings accepting the gift from him. Both happy and sad for him. I figured I'll keep it and have fun with it, and if he ever brings it up again, I'll ask if he wants it back.
"Estrogens are also contained in meat and eggs, but the major sources are milk and dairy products. By drinking a glass of milk, a child’s intake of estradiol is 4000 times the intake of xenoestrogens, in terms of hormone activity. See, modern genetically-improved dairy cows can lactate throughout their pregnancy; the problem is that that’s when the estrogen levels can jump as much as 30-fold.

Though cheese intake has been associated with lower sperm concentration, dairy food intake has also been associated with abnormal sperm shape and movement, so this suggests that dairy intake may be implicated in direct testicular damage, and not just a potential suppression of sperm production due to the estrogen."

https://nutritionfacts.org/video/dairy-estrogen-and-male-fer...

"Estrogen hormones can be thousands of times more estrogenic than typical endocrine-disrupting chemicals. Dietary exposure to natural sex steroids (in meat, dairy, and eggs) is “therefore highly relevant in the discussion of the impact of estrogens on human development and health.” And chicken estrogen is identical to human estrogen—they’re the same molecule."

https://nutritionfacts.org/2016/09/13/estrogen-animal-produc...

"Foods of animal origin in general naturally contain hormones, but cow’s milk may be of particular concern. The hormones naturally found in even organic cow’s milk may be playing a role in the studies that found a relationship between milk and dairy products with human illnesses, such as teenagers’ acne; prostate, breast, ovarian, and uterine cancers, many chronic diseases that are common in Western societies, as well as male reproductive disorders. Milk consumption has even been associated with an increased risk of early puberty in girls, and endometrial cancer in postmenopausal women, but hormonal levels in food could be particularly dangerous in the case of vulnerable populations, such as young children or pregnant women. "

"Pregnant cows excrete significantly higher levels of sex steroids into their milk than non-pregnant cows. The subsequent consumption of such dairy products may mean an unnecessary risk, but one that could be easily avoided. But it’s not just dairy. Although dairy products are an important source of hormones, other products of animal origin must be considered as well.

All edible tissues of animal origin contain estrogen. This may explain why, in a study of over a thousand women eating plant-based diets, vegan women have a twinning rate that is one fifth that of vegetarians and omnivores."

> "Brave's controversies" are not really about Brave.

Which of Brave's controversies listed on Wikipedia aren't about Brave because they are about Brendan Eich's political beliefs? I have no idea what his political beliefs are, but while I can accept the possibility that they may put Brave under additional scrutiny the problems people have had with Brave are real.

I think it'd be wrong to dismiss their controversies as being purely the product of a "culture war" even if some people's hate for Brendan might help promote awareness of those same controversies.

It's interesting to watch the videos they link of deepmind playing against the top-level Stratego masters [0]. I usually find Stratego to be a bit of a dull game (less elegant and more drawn out than Go and chess), but I'm a sucker for watching top-level AIs play.

Yes, I think I was mistaken. My thinking was based on a previous title, which didn't specify Coinbase "Wallet" and included the phrase "exchange fees". If they were the fees from Coinbase's trading application, they wouldn't be strictly the gas fees as charged by the Ethereum network. Tweets in the thread also specify gas fees and this is exclusive to NFTs, so I suspect the fees in question are indeed the network gas fees.

Sorry for the confusion.
Sure, why not? If the top ten games from my Steam library disappeared off the face of the earth I'd still have plenty of other games to play. Games rise and fall all the time; 10 years ago you could have written that about Minecraft and 15 years ago about Runescape. There are certainly still audiences for those games but they are smaller than before.

I'd be interested in reading more about this. I'm curious if that correlation is due to people with lower bodyfat being more likely to exercise regularly which, in turn, would increase testosterone levels.

What? Are you suggesting that most in the United States that most people have miles of water mains with PVC on the other side of the meter?

I spent two years in and out of a hospital as a youth at great expense to myself and my family in an attempt to deal with an issue that ended up being largely psychosomatic.

If a single doctor had the courage to be square with me that I didn't have a life-threatening condition and that an endless series of tests and procedures would gain me nothing, I could have had all of that time and money back. In an effort to listen to me, they endlessly strung me along in a process that was more painful than the actual condition.

I can guarantee I have more personal experience in this subject than you could begin to imagine, long before Covid was a thing - I do not appreciate being talked down to and I have just as much right to my opinions as you do.

But people - chronic disease sufferers included - really, really need to understand that "psychosomatic" doesn't mean you don't have a real medical issue. What it means is you have a real medical condition with a completely different set of treatment options. Often ones that are easy, affordable, and in your control.
If you've played minesweeper you'll understand what I'm about to say.

There are sacred cows in these fields, and land-mines buried beneath
the cow pats. Even casual, humorous criticism of them will lead to
swift rebuke by "defenders" (no doubt a tiny minority) who police the
pastures.

After some months with HN I now see;

- It's probably normal and no worse than any online community.

- Very little use comes of pointing it out. We all experience it.

- Not much to be gained by fighting it.

- Making a meal of it goes against the spirit Dang is obviously
working hard to cultivate here of avoiding petty confrontation.

- It's actually really useful, from a research perspective.

It's the last of these points that relates to minesweeper. A lot can
be learned from those who reveal themselves and their fealty as they
act to suppress. It's great for putting out 'feelers' for those
land-mines whose positions reveal a useful map. I'm even starting to
sense how negative information is more valuable than affirmative. Keep
the down-votes coming :)
I suspect Google isn't worried about the financial aspects of fraud so much as they're worried about fraud using extremely limited capacity. His point about prepaying makes sense from the customer side, but I'd be willing to bet google doesn't want to deal with having negative balances in accounts that are backed by real cash (as opposed to credits). Maybe they already allow that if you overpay? Just guessing here.
Thanks a lot for the response! A leave of absence is at the top of my list right now. The problem is, I have no idea where to start looking for a job to try out during the leave.
There may be an anti-trust case against Apple, but if there is, hanging it on crypto is not the place to do it.

Personally I am more concerned about Comcast's monopoly and would prioritize the FTC to look at that, but that's been out of style since 2014.
A reference? This is plumbing not academia. The parts I get might be slightly different than the spec so you have to make up for it with the right amount of tape in situ. If you tighten the threads as much as possible and there is still a gap then you have to seal it somehow. Soft plastics will deform enough to seal without any tape at all but harder materials need something between to fill in the gaps.
I have no idea, but kudos to this being one of the problems in your life, having conquered all others. :)
It's going to be hilarious, after all the time spent world-wide to snuff out self-custodial bearer bonds and shares, if governments actually explicitly legitimize self-custody decentralized stable coins.
Google customer service is atrocious. Their ability to solve customer support issues is effectively a toss up.

I agree with you. Einstein published general relativity when he was 38-ish around 1917 or so, over a decade after his miracle year in which he revolutionized or kickstarted several domains in relativity, Brownian motion, and quantum mechanics. Even in the year of publishing general relativity, he basically kickstarted the principle behind lasers.

I mean general relativity is one of the most tested and verified physical theories, and it was practically done all by Einstein himself. It’s a hallmark of a theory. That alone is worth everything, and yet he was also the genesis for several other fields, both before and after general relativity.

Einstein is not a great example for this discussion. Even his “failures” are useful contributions. Many here are missing the point in that it is failures that we should not be afraid of funding, within reason of course. I.e., it’s okay if a promising idea “fails”. It is input to the broader research community and questions.

I find Apple devices are the worst for disrespecting network use when they "sleep", my partner has a couple and as soon they think no one's looking they saturate the network downloading updates and "syncing" shit. It doesn't help that they started using massive undelta'd partition images to distribute minor updates to their OSs.

They also keep changing stuff on each update to make it harder to force the things to disconnect in sleep mode without a lot of fiddling.. so I've resorted to just adding them to a MAC based access control on the router which we toggle on when we want to use the internet for anything that needs more reliability or bandwidth. I also first tried an aluminium foil based Faraday cage/box to chuck them in with some degree of success but the foil can get breaky.

How does Swift compare to Rust in safety? I read that Swift is only memory safe in single threaded environments, which is not ideal.

I was very enthusiastic about Rust about 4 years ago but decided to learn Swift instead as a new “cool non-Lisp language” to learn. Seeing an recent article on writing Python in Rust made me wish that I had chosen differently.

I found this article made me feel better about security. I expect that increasing use of memory safe languages will lock down public infrastructure and software, making everyone safer.
