There are thousands of different techniques from thousands of different developmental philosophies.

For example from a Jungian-oriented perspective on "the afternoon of life," you could say that the tension between opposites is reduced, so you can finally start to look at combining opposites that you had previously thought were required to work separately. Putting the weapons down and putting ideals back in the front seat.

One might explore becoming a Windows + Linux person for example.

Or becoming more aware of intertwining logical and emotional perspectives on a given topic...maybe one "just likes" using Photoshop even though it is the only thing keeping them on their old Mac. Still, logically it doesn't make sense in some ways, so they pick up a Chromebook for the day-to-day web stuff.

This can be related back to everything in one's life, from learning about relationships to programming language dynamics to new fitness skills. The old opposites want to make war. But how can they work together to create a new, improved, third point of progress?

And that's just one of thousands of different techniques relevant to aging...for this reason it can help to look at broader surveys on aging, be they books, Youtube videos, blogs, etc., and kind of mentally check off techniques that can apply to learning as you come across them. The best techniques for a given individual are generally found spread across many sources, and sometimes those sources are surprisingly not at all "about" learning.

IMO it's a great idea to keep a log of one's aging process, as well.
It makes sense. I think it explains some of it.
> we need 70+ old guys learn new things just like this politician does.

? Does my comment read otherwise?
> Is there a way to use the Lazarus libraries, but write code in C++, like with C++ Builder?

I write lazarus programs, and link to my lib**.so files which are all written in C. Works very well.
It depends how many requests (both frontend and backend) each user triggers and the odds of a big latency spike on at least one of them.

For single requests, targeting 95% would probably be just fine back in the days of static sites served by a single Apache instance, but that doesn't describe many modern systems. Nowadays, a single HTTP request to a load balancer can trigger a flurry of blocking queries to fulfil it. (eg a distributed ElasticSearch query that can't combine the results from each node and return until EVERY node has responded) then your worst-case performance will quickly begin to dominate.
> Why would you refuse to comply with that? If you're difficult at work you're going to have a bad time, maybe more people should be told this.

Can you hear what you are saying? Tech workers aren't mindless typing machines. When I think a decision from management is stupid and wasteful, I don't hesitate to tell that. If you want mindless typing machines in your company's offices, you're free to acquire them by whatever means necessary. Good luck getting great results from such setup though.
Why are these argumentative and empty statements the best we can do on HN?
Spam will flood a lot of places for sure. But there is a solution! We were just talking about it in a lively and informative thread on lichess. [1] A social graph, in which people are confirmed as humans from the outside world as well as from the virtual world, connecting hierarchies of pseudonymous accounts together.

The social graph of reputation systems, has a necessary constraint, it has to be retained in the blockchain so as to be incorruptible by every human power. As soon as a node can be planted by a malicious actor, as part of the social graph, the whole of it becomes invalidated.

Mr Craig Wright calls this "The Metanet", George Gilder calls this "The cryptocosm", other people call it "Web3", Balaji Srinivasan calls it "The network State". I call it, "The internet of one million governments".

Many of us are well aware of how difficult some of the prerequisite CS classes can be so he definitely has my respect.
This commune has been doing well for quite a while now: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Farm_(Tennessee)

I don't agree that a working commune means communism as a political system could also work.

I'm also not saying communism can't work, though I personally like socialism with some capitalist elements better.
> but more elaboration on what they didnt get, how things really went so bad would be nice.

The article addressed this, imho.

1. Software from the 90s was neglected (cost center that didn’t improve roi, with roi being a focus of the new CEO from 2004).

2. The software didn’t grow with the airline or contemporary circumstances that the front line people were aware of a notified the management of multiple times to no avail.

Edit:

This answers your question somewhat:

https://www.reddit.com/r/SouthwestAirlines/comments/zxg6op/t...

The tl;dr is that the airline had grown but the processes were still largely manual rather than automated with a small enough margin of error that a bad storm might cause the system to collapse.

Is 1password's "Secret Key" in any way homologous to simply using a key file or virtual/hardware key? If you use a keyfile for a Keepass database, is that basically the same thing besides the fact you have to do the file management yourself?
They wrote the first TCP/IP stack. Correctly. We got the Berkeley one instead with all its bugginess (which bugs we still work around) for dumb reasons.

I have not found out what the API would have been like, instead of socket() / connect() / listen() etc.
Because sanctions and crypto are inherently incompatible. The former is a flex of institutional, state power. The latter is an exercise in screw-the-state libertarianism.
Chernivtsi (Cernăuți) and the region as a whole has a quite big Romanian population which is being tried to be assimilated by the country those territories currently belong to. And ironically the article mainly complains about the same thing, but performed by soviets.
Master’s in CS with a concentration in AI is a better description. Cool to see a representative actually learning about the tech instead of just having legal education which is sadly far too common (same focus as my MS in CS though that was 10+ years ago and things have changed just a little on the AI side)
Definitely agree, and to clarify I do have a diagnosis (and take medication). I don’t view it as a condition per-se, just part of who I am, as well as something that makes life interesting.
The two cats are what the Schroedinger equation implies. The fact that you don't observe the dead cat is perfectly consistent with the Schroedinger equation. To deny the dead cat means that the Schroedinger equation doesn't describe physical reality, and that it has to be modified or added to in some way. There are ways to do so, but it makes the underlying model more complicated and more awkward. Occam's razor would suggest that the Schroedinger equation is the simplest and most parsimonious explanation for what we observe, despite it also predicting the unobservable (for us) other branches of the wave function.
‘Varsity Blues’ Mastermind Deserves Six Years in Prison, US Says
Wouldn't the obvious place to look for democratic influences on Europe be ancient Rome/ancient Greece? Obviously European science and religion were massively influenced by the ancients. (Of course, both Rome and Greece had republican forms of government at various points in their history -- they didn't get it from the Amerindians!)

Wikipedia says the Magna Carta dates to 1215, well before the discovery of the new world, and the English parliament also dates to that time. I'm fairly sure that various Italian city-states like Venice and Florence had periods of republicanism before 1492 as well. Could've spread beyond Italy through the cultural influence of the Renaissance?

I find it plausible that the New World influence on European governance is underrated, but the "copied wholesale" claim strikes me as putting activism above history...
Or wash trading on regulated exchanges is less obvious for obvious reasons. It's like saying they dont see pump&dump schemes on the stock market
Viewing this question abstractly, you are asking how do I get better at <hard thing>?

The answer is the same. Progressive load. Do something that you struggle with but can complete until it is no longer a huge struggle, then do something harder, progressively. Both biting off more than you can chew and not biting enough will prevent progress.

The key thing to understand is that the feeling of struggle is exactly the feeling of learning, particularly for older people. The feeling of struggle is not metaphorically, but physically the precursor to learning. The feeling of struggle is marking brain cells to be altered during sleep (layman's translation of huberman podcast) which is when your brain actuates learning. So you must seek the feeling of struggle to be learning.
I wish we had more details of the specifics: what system failed? What OS was running them? How could phones be the bottle neck? Did scale and volume bring the system down? What are the details? Where is the actual breakdown?
Where are you finding it? Wikipedia only lists the "founders", which links to the "History" page in Solana's homepage [0], which only has story until 2018. Notably, this is before FTX was a thing, so my claim becomes "Solana was taken over by FTX at some point."

Beat me to it for some NZ perspective, but while we’re here, I was introduced to Jean-Michel Jarre at one of the first Laser Tag places in NZ in the late 80s.

I can’t remember what it was called, but it was next to Leisure land/Footrot Flats theme park in Te Atatu. Laserforce maybe?

It was multi-level, filled with fog and Star Trek style doors that opened when you shot them, and Jean-Michel Jarre played as a constant soundtrack. It was truely magical for a space-and-sci-fi obsessed preteen.

My friends and I only went a couple of times before it turned into paintball, which wasn’t as much fun for 11yr olds!

Subsequently Rendez-vous was one of the first records I ever bought and played over and over again on weekend mornings when my parents were still in bed.

Fourth Rendez-Vous was my favourite.
The FTX-Solana playbook is going to be repeated by Aptos and Sui, and likely, Aleo. They’ve all raised way too much money from VCs to ever run in a truly decentralized fashion.
your name is 'moistly', was that petty at the time - just curious because it's ironic.
You're right ctrl+s works, I tried it, I always thought it had to be ctrl+o since that's what the bottom panel shows. I was encouraged so I highlighted some text then tried ctlr+c and ctrl+v, unless I hit a wrong key somewhere, it didn't work.

Can't find a successful one. Plymouth switched to capitalism after starving for a year.
Reality check: WebGPU is not shipping yet. Browser supports varies - dev preview (Chrome), far from preview with big missing pieces (Firefox), tumbleweeds (Safari [1]). If it's anything like WebGL, it might take many years after shipping to be a good dev target (tooling, major browser bugs and regressions, missing support depending on end-user hw, Safari lagging other browsers by 5 years like with WebGL 2, etc).

WebGL 2 on other hand works today and is about the only way to do portable 3d (unless you use higher level engines). .

[1] apparently a preview appeared in Safari tech preview releases in 2019 when Apple was trying to argue for more Metal style API design in WebGPU, but since disappeared from there. https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/692979
Depends on the specifics of the duty time rules and how the flights were canceled. If the crew showed up and started getting the flight ready, but the flight was cancelled before takeoff, that may count as duty hours and could reduce their availability in the near term.

If the duty time rules only count time after takeoff, or only time after doors are closed, those both offer a different set of times.
I would think that the Elected Representative not doing that job and absconding to study would be the more significant detail.
Coming from Italy, my perception of disney characters is completely skewed and I did not realize it.

I'd buy that line if the project were such a threat to the status quo that the people working on it would not be safe if their identities were known.

Still waiting for that one to come along though.

Judging by my search through the US trademark database, it looks like the only active trademarks they have are for the words "Mickey Mouse" and not the character design? The actual character only shows up in dead trademarks, as far as I can tell. If this is true, any use of Mickey Mouse as he appears in Steamboat Willie, without calling the character Mickey Mouse, could be legally defensible... if you're willing to go up against Disney lawyers in court
Because aging politicians do not adequately represent the majority of their constituents.
You could pick up some contract work on Upwork. Set a really low rate and then work up. Pick a niche and specialize.

After you do some contracts and get some good experience under your belt, register as an LLC and give yourself a title - software engineer at your company.

It should be enough to get your foot in the door for an interview and from there as long as you are a good talker you will get the job.
You’d think! Whatever the sign said (I didn’t take a photo), it was clear they were discouraging people to just step in quick to look around. Perhaps truly reading wasn’t discouraged, but compared to the lack of such a sign at Boston Public Library, it felt very different.

But the number of tourists in NYC compared to Boston is probably a big difference.
To at least represent a bit better the modern world, not everybody makes the effort of keeping up to date with society when aging.
I'm pretty sure the Farm was the one where people would leave after 2 years. Hardly anyone stayed longer. They're just good at recruiting replacements. I recommend anyone who believes in communism should join The Farm and give it a try.
Ask HN: Please help me by reviewing KBNF
Hi everyone! Merry Christmas and happy new year!

I'm making a modernized BNF-style metalanguage that supports grammars for text and binary formats, but unless there's some kind of outside review, I won't find any blind spots I have until long after release.

If you have experience in grammars or protocols (text or binary), could you take a quick look?

Note: I'm not aiming for perfect expressivity; just 80-90% of use cases without making things overcomplicated so that it can be used descriptively in documentation.

https://github.com/kstenerud/kbnf/blob/master/kbnf.md

Some examples of it in use:

* Internet Prodocol, version 4: https://github.com/kstenerud/kbnf/blob/master/ipv4.kbnf

* Concise Text Encoding: https://github.com/kstenerud/concise-encoding/blob/master/cte.kbnf

* Concise Binary Encoding: https://github.com/kstenerud/concise-encoding/blob/master/cbe.kbnf

* The KBNF grammar itself: https://github.com/kstenerud/kbnf/blob/master/kbnf.md#the-kbnf-grammar-in-kbnf
apparently one other factor is that long on-hold phone calls (by Southwest staff) count against FAA work time limits, and thus can prevent that person from serving on a flight - according to the former CCO of JetBlue (St. George) at https://twitter.com/martysg/status/1608161473083183106
Nah, that just perpetuates the existing system and prices out the little guy.
I can’t comment on your experience either but I can say that IME Hibernate doesn’t play well with others. You end up with all these cache problems that you have to mop up, and interop either becomes super fragile or you disable the cache and the app becomes very slow.

Maybe that’s hibernate, maybe we were just Holding It Wrong, but whatever the reason - we spent a lot more time writing Hibernate code and a lot less time working on domain logic than I was comfortable with (the “blue flame” of a couple of recent comments on other posts)

For me the clincher came when I started using stored functions for business logic. There is so much less duplication (entity objects etc) and you can call the logic from any language, including the SQL CLI.

FWIW I am not at all opposed to libraries that help me work with SQL, but these days I want any tool I use to be very close to the database.
I journal-ed daily with an app that asked you to rate each day from 1-10 and write a small blurb.

It was extremely clear what my triggers were. The sustained changes of mood were very clearly visibly graphed and the blurbs, even with almost no effort at all applied to writing them (many were just: "ok day"), made it very clear what the inflection points were.

I was very surprised just how much the results of a single day can change the subjective day to day experience for weeks without being consciously aware of the single days happenings that caused the change.
Create a crypto project, ideally a premined one, delegated PoS or so with outrageous performance claims. With non-premined PoW coins it is much harder. Ideally with a huge supply of tokens. Let's say 100,000,000,000 total supply.

Form a foundation and talk to the media. Sell some at a sub-cent price during multiple ICO rounds, but make sure to keep 70-90% (tokens for team, advisors, runnning costs, token burns, security claims that are baked into the protocol and whatever other reason you can come up with).

Sell some to yourself for free. Use money from the first round to pay for marketing and exchange listing - yes, most projects other than Bitcoin, Ethereum or Monero need to pay to be listed, even though exchanges make money from trading fees. Ideally also run your own exchange, which gives you more creative freedom and may save cost.

Talk to the media again and spam all crypto communities.

Use the tokens that you sold to yourself for wash trading on multiple exchanges. Since you sell to yourself, your main costs are trading fees. Use ICO money for that and for buying some tokens from others.

Market price is the latest price that someone paid for the token. Market capitalization is Market Price x Circulating Supply. Increase market price by wash trading at higher prices, you control the price, since you own the most tokens. Some ICO customers will sell their tokens back to you, but the majority of them will wait for much higher prices.

Spread rumors about possible 1,000% price increases when the token gets adopted by the masses. Some new buyers will obtain some of your tokens as your token is rising on websites like coinmarketcap.com because of the rising market capitalization.

Do more marketing, spread memes and rumors about partnerships with FAANGs and governments, as well as potential 10,000% price increases.

Monitor the price. Wash trade higher. Monitor price and order books. Once the price is high enough, start to sell more to other buyers. When the orderbooks are full of other people, dump more and let it cool down afterwards.

Repeat until you are rich enough or until people aren't buying the token anymore.

Exit.

The methodology makes no sense. Our quoter currently quotes approximately the same dollar amount at all the time. If a taker takes all of our size at a level, as they do tens of thousands of times per day, the resulting trade sizes will not follow Benford's law. Another dynamic is that many trades will be a bot trading against a stale quote. For whatever reason, some bots are configured to do this gradually in fixed-size chunks, which will also produce trade data that does not follow Benford's law.

The authors create a benchmark rate of "automated trading" (i.e. deviation from Benford's law) at regulated exchanges and attempt to calculate the rate of wash trading at other exchanges by comparing the deviation from Benford's law to the deviation at regulated exchanges. Even if all of these exchanges would onboard every automated trading firm from anywhere in the world with directors and UBOs with any combination of citizenships, this methodology *still* would not work at all, because automated trading systems care about prices after fees, and Kraken's lowest fees are 0bps maker/10bps taker, while Gate's are -1.5bps maker/2bps taker. Another way of saying this is that Kraken has a "net fee rate" of 10bps and a "minimum spread" of 20bps (wow!) plus the price increment, while Gate has a "net fee rate" of 0.5bps and a "minimum spread" of 4bps plus the price increment. Expecting similar distributions of trades in these two conditions is extremely unreasonable, and one wonders if the fine authors consulted anyone in industry before publishing.
I've read their book, and I'm very sympathetic to the idea that American examples profoundly influenced European enlightenment thinkers.

But "copied wholesale" seems unnecessarily strong wording. Clearly there's an influence, particularly in the 17-19 centuries. But there are other influences, and modern democracies have many features not present in urban centers of 18 century America.

I don't see what the point is of disregarding the construction of parliamentary democracies based on voting, institutions, a free press etc, as an "implementation detail".
I am always on the lookout for more about the 23ky-old Gunung Padang pyramid on Java. It was long thought just a hill, until it was shown to have been built instead. As far as I know only Danny Widjaja is working on it. It should have a whole department excavating it.
These aspects will start to come back into vogue as broader societal progress stabilizes at its new levels, and institutional forces internalize conflict.

There will be a new norm of politician who is less of a laughingstock and more of a quality leader who looks into things in a qualitative way. It'll still be a politician who will need to know the game though.

In a post-Trump world you can generally expect the return of subjective quality in government. This will be good in a lot of ways, but it will also generally lead to some other unwanted factors coming back into style.
Is this what you were referring to?

I've seen several 85+ year old individuals active in various science and technology fields.

So even someone in their 70s might start an MS and then have a decade or more to make use of it. That's not what's happening here, but it could be.

Really puts all those times I thought it was too late for this or that in perspective.
