The reason:

the reason for the long gap is a bit absurd. It all goes back to a decision made about eight years ago to plug a $100 million budget hole in the Orion program. As a result of a chain of events that followed this decision, Artemis II is unlikely to fly before 2025 because of eight relatively small flight computers.

The top right current program name has the running programs in a dropdown on click. You can 'tear off' the dropdown menu to create an always-visible task bar, either in the dropdown format or as nice little icons.
Meanwhile in other countries... Secure, easy-to-obtain, IDs since several decades.
Also, an ID is required to vote and since it is secure you don't need any silly voter registration (which is just suppression in the guise of verification).
Real ID was a result of a political climate that envisioned terror attacks as a salient political issue, and that non-US citizens were believed to be the primary terror threat.

It's probably safe to say that we live in a vastly different political climate today.
What's so bad about the situation?
Ahhh you misunderstood my original statement. Sorry, thanks for taking care of the bridge though.

> I don't believe covid is more dangerous than the jab.

A million EU residents died of covid in 2 years. Even ignoring the cause of death, ~500k more EU residents died in 2020 than usual, predating the roll-out of the vaccines. (link will only plot individual countries, not the EU total).

I know this isn't focused on the (supposed) harms of the vaccines, but I don't think you're really appreciating how many people Covid killed.
> Equally we have many studies showing that vitamin D helps to reduce risk from covid (hint: it doesn't).

But we know the reason for this; in order to get the circulatory and anti-viral benefits of vitamin D, you need to be exposed to a sufficient amount of UVA. But most folks who are getting a sufficient amount of UVA are also getting enough UVB to make enough vitamin D in the first place, which is what always causes the outcomes of the studies to look equivocal. It's really not that complicated, but researchers keep running fake studies to scam money out of the government and make pharma drugs look more effective by comparison.
There are plenty of non-old-white-boys at McKinsey doing heinous stuff. I wish fixing things was as simple as increasing diversity, I really really do. Improving diversity is laudable goal in itself; don't count on it to fix these sorts of problems.
Is the IRS well known as a barely functioning behemoth? There's no shortage of animus towards them, but it's generally seemed closer to "I don't like the agency that takes my money" than "this agency is incompetent."

Pretty much every functioning democracy in the world has a national ID system, because that's how any functioning country works. The US is not special in that regard. In fact, most major countries in the world without an ID system are... all former colonies of the UK.

But I guess you can keep on being scared of leaking your SSN (that everyone unofficially uses as an ID anyways) and keep on using different cards depending on the state. There's a reason identity theft is so prevalent in the US, and pretty much nowhere else in the world.

> I only understand what a compiler is doing after having written one (albeit a tiny one) myself during my studies.

How many people need to understand how a compiler works to sling some code for a paycheck or just for fun.

I learned how compilers work purely for fun, it provides me absolutely no benefit in my day to day life, and before that I taught myself how to code for the exact same reason. If I had to go the opposite route, learn how compilers work before learning to code, I seriously doubt I’d have taken the time.

Other things are the same, I’m horrible at doing math but managed to learn enough linear algebra to finish a coding project I was interested in doing. If I would have had to code up all the hard bits instead of calling matrix1 * matrix2 that project would never have happened.

Another layer of abstraction isn’t always a bad thing, these AIs will eventually figure out how to write bug free code when you tell it to “write a function which calculates the flight velocity of a sparrow carrying a coconut”.

That’s how PageRank effectively worked, and people created deep networks of pages voting for each other. To solve this problem for real you either need Sybil protection or to make it economically infeasible (impose a tax for making content available).

To some extent I have been wondering for a while if prioritizing Ads in Google Search is Google’s way of creating that economic barrier to spam content (for some meaning of spam) - you can take the fact that a brand is willing to spend money as some indication of “quality”.
The salt inhibits growth. It's no different than curing and salting other meats, it's perfectly safe. See also, dry aging, it doesn't necessarily sit in a fridge yet it's still safe as long as you cut off the pellicles.
Also googling the topic I find plenty "news" articles basically saying what the meta-analysis they reference also says, from later than 2020 which according to the authro was the only time this possibility was acknowledged. Somehow that's basically always the case if someone claims that something wasn't reported. (But I'm sure the author would find reasons to discount that reporting because it's not as unequivocally positive as they think the topic is or ...)
There is nothing to replace it. The reason the US dollar is the global reserve currency now is that the US is the only nation who is exporting enough currency to allow any two arbitrary counterparties anywhere in the world to get their hands on a common currency. And the only way the US can export that much currency is to run a persistent and structural trade deficit financed by debt. No one else has a big enough economy to throw off that much currency other than maybe China and the EU and neither of those want to dislocate their main economic engines by becoming huge net importers.
First of all, the salt kills all the harmful bacteria. I don't know how true this is, but it's said that mammal meat is denser than poultry meat, bacteria can't grow inside of it (or at least have a lot more difficulty growing inside. Duck prosciutto is a thing too though, so maybe it's just chicken?

Once we rented a vehicle from them with a flat tire. Also, it had been electronically limited so that it could not drive at freeway speeds.

When I called customer support to deal with the issue, they hung up on me three times. (Typical conversation:

- Sit on hold for 15-45 minutes

- Hello, can I have your rental number?

- 12345-XYZ

- <click>

I told the fourth person I'd be issuing a chargeback and dumping the vehicle in front of the locked gate of their parking lot if they also hung up. They directed us to a location that couldn't accept the vehicle.

We ended up paying for one day rental or something, but at least I didn't go to jail.

Right to trial is a thing, though. The claim that the majority of bans are happening over racist epithets is unfounded, and honestly probably so much hogwash/bunk.

Most fx swaps have a future component, but either the rate will net out or the difference will be paid back.

This minimizes credit costs and fx exposure by trading it for counterparty risk.

The report is suggesting that a liquidity crunch specifically on dollars that need to be delivered in the future may create systematic counterparty risk that central banks will need to solve.
GP didn't say the ID was the mar of the beast, only that it was related to it. Having grown up in an evangelical household, I very much disagree that what he's said is a parody of what evangelicals believe. He is spot on.

No. Sorry. People do work with trucks. Tens of millions of people work in professions that it is necessary. More still do home projects or have hobbies that require high tow capacity like hauling an RV or a boat or other trailers. I drive an F350 to haul my fifth wheel. It actually gets 20 mpg when I'm not towing the RV.

You don't have to avoid SSS registration. The govt already has an exception for "conscientious objectors" that requires appearing before a panel. [1] It sounds like any observant Quaker would pass with flying colors. Still a hassle of course.

I try to. One similar thing comes to my mind: generative adversarial networks (GANs). If I'm not mistaken this is along the line of your idea of composing single ML models to bigger information processing units.

Do you, by any chance, have links or recommendations for material to read up on architectures that do consider ML models as composable gates?

It is for the crime that you're discussing. Filing a false police report is criminal precisely because of intent. Needless to say, if you have a good faith belief that you report to the police[1], you should be able to do so without fear of prosecution if you're wrong!

American education is that everything needs to be sterilized, irradiated, and wrapped in plastic. However it does not seem to matter how the food was created with growth hormones, antibiotics, preservatives, and other questionable ingredients.

Some of this might be due to the influence of big ag on our education, media and regulatory systems. These measures definitely benefit the big factories and impose excessive burdens on the small local farms.
Count yourself very lucky that you never had an issue with the IRS. I had to deal with a mistake that the IRS made erroneously and even after 4 years it is still not resolved. Every 6 months I get a letter that the IRS still hasn't bothered to look into it and I'm guessing they likely never will.

Second item is an analogy.. when cash for transit here was changing to an electronic ID, the BART transit agency found excuse after excuse to delay.. later, a finance officer said in a public forum "we have a cash flow and we control that" .. much later, things changed somewhat. I believe that Federal vs State govt is simply at odds over the endless self-employment of administering these ID programs, and who calls the shots... and they should be ! Fed growth is virtually a one-way ratchet in practice.

Ask HN: Resources for Best Practice Haskell
My problem with learning Haskell has been that the resources are always very basic and beginner focused, or focused on learning category theory.

I'm from a STEM background and already know category theory, and I already know the basic syntax of Haskell - where can I go to see what the people proficient at the language are doing?

I mainly program in C++, and there are literally tonnes of advanced projects to find on github using well-written C++ to get into, not to mention all the videos, podcasts, discord communities and books on C++ best practices.

The best option I've found for Haskell so far has been to look at the standard library implementation for different functions, but what else can I use/do you use for learning intermediate/advanced Haskell?
Politicians usually don't do anything unless they see a demand for it on their citizenship. Just hoping they will build better infrastructure is naive. And if you want to increase the number of cyclists, laws that make it harder, like helmet requirements, will of course slow the demand.

Looks like "Basic" (Standard) is now $29 which even at $20 I thought was rather high having never heard of them before. After reading through their website and pricing page it's pretty interesting.

Instead of paying per "user"/"email address"/etc you pay for usage (sent/received/storage). With this you can add as many domains/email addresses/users that you want. If you have 20 domain names where you just need need 1 mailbox it costs the same as 1 domain name with 20 mailboxes since it all comes down to usage.

If I wasn't so deep into google workspace (or whatever they are calling it this month, G-suite/g-apps/google apps for your domain) and if I had it to do over again I would use this in a heartbeat, I still might but it will be harder to move (need to figure out how to keep docs/drive/calendar stuff on google or migrate it to other services).

Fastmail was the fallback provider I always considered moving to but at $3-$5/user it's a pain to add old/low-volume accounts that still need to be monitored but aren't seeing a ton of use. Migadu solves that problem very nicely and would probably lead to me spinning up new "mailboxes" much faster/sooner because I imagine it's pretty easy to do and then only need to think about upgrading as your usage increases, not just your mailbox count.

I couldn't find a good answer to "does spam count towards your receiving limits", I found a reddit post [0] that says it doesn't and that the limits are soft anyway (which I had already seen) so I'm assuming this is the case or it doesn't really matter in the long run.

Lastly I wish they would offer 2FA though I understand their current reasoning (still need no-2FA/app-specific-passwords for IMAP so does 2FA really matter?). I get what they are saying but it feels like they could implement 2FA for managing/overseeing your account and then have app-specific passwords for each mailbox (maybe 1 main with the ability to create others so you could disable it if you decide to stop using a client/service that you attach to your email)? I could be missing something as I've not actually signed up and tried the service, yet.

Summary: Traction by Gabriel Weinberg and Justin Mares
When you resized a window on classic Mac OS, your program had to actually like, draw the new window. Your program is spinning in a loop listening for events, you get a window-resize event. So you allocate space for the new bitmap, calculate what you need to display within the enlarged view, and then draw it. Did the user drag another window over your window, and then drag it away again? You get an event for that. Gotta draw what was there all over again.

This is all very close to the metal. On early 68K Macs, this is driven by QuickDraw, some very tightly coded assembly routines in ROM. Invoking them is only 2 bytes of code, as they're simply CPU opcodes (trap instructions). Render this string at this point size with this font at this X, Y location. Redraw the menu bar. Draw a rectangle. And so on. If you sequence these Toolbox invocations correctly, as a great master programmer of coroutines who never mistreats a handle as a pointer, you can render a complex scene with hundreds of polygons and a full screen of text in 200 milliseconds at 8 MHz.

But it takes thousands of lines of hand-holding the machine to do it.

Today, all of this is typically handled by instantiating a window object which draws into a private framebuffer which the system composites. That right there is tens of megabytes of RAM overhead. Then you use a thread to handle the UI and a thread to draw and etc. There's almost no boilerplate to just show a window. Perhaps one line of code. And it doesn't get overwritten by intrusive neighbour windows. Creating frameworks that can do all that bookkeeping in a flexible and general way (don't forget you want to be able to render vector fonts for any Unicode language) has a tremendous overhead.
This is a cool approach. It reminds me of statebox by mochimedia: https://github.com/mochi/statebox.

If I'm understanding correctly, it requires the mutations to be deterministic in order for the nodes to converge.

Replicache (replicache.dev - my thing) takes a similar approach except it does not requires the mutations to be deterministic, which is very useful because it enables the mutations to reach out to other services, be authenticated, etc.

Both the idea here and Replicache's approach are closely related to game networking. If you are interested in these ideas, a really excellent set of content is: https://www.gabrielgambetta.com/client-server-game-architect....

If you are interested in how Replicache's sync protocol works and achieves transactional changes with server authority, it is described here: https://doc.replicache.dev/concepts/how-it-works.
