The government isn’t interfering with the factors of production. The healthcare system has market based incentives. The Chinese system is no money means no western healthcare. Western healthcare didn’t really exist in China until the 90s. It grew from nothing organically through market forces.

If the US switched to the Chinese system for healthcare, the socialist minded people would cry themselves to death.

I don’t buy fad diets. I also learned that places a western diet goes there are increased healthcare costs. Learned this reading about studies in Barons (which is really for investors).

I changed my diet. Eat a lot of food. Am regularly full. My numbers are all great. I feel better than I have in a long time. And I eat the types of food the people who live the longest (on average) and have the best long term vitality do.

Hopefully, you learned about functions long before calculus...

When we learned about functions back in something like 5th grade, I noticed that my classmates were very confused by the concept. I also remembered that I found the explanations in the book and the ones from our teacher quite unclear.

My guess back then was that the notation was partly to blame for that -- and I still think that's true.

So, my questions to you are:

1) were you taught the "f(x) = 3x + 2"-style notation?
2) have you seen the "x --> 3x+2"-style before? Or the "f: x --> 3x+2"-style, where we give the function the name f?
3) did you find it confusing that f(x) was sometimes used to refer to the function and sometimes to its value when applied to x? The notation of question 2 should eliminate that confusion.

I'm guessing that part of the confusion was also that your teachers were unclear on what functions could be used for -- but didn't they ask you to draw graphs for various functions? And didn't they also introduce functions like sin/cos/tan?
Evan’s book is a bit of an academic slog, but I finally felt like I understood how object-oriented design should work.

Eastern Europe, including all the newest EU members and the EU as a whole. There's a quite some capital flight.

The CSTO is mainly just Russia and they've demonstrated they're incapable of providing military aid to their members. However, Russia getting allied with Iran and China and their puppet North Korea is a problem.

I really wish the US defeats Russia again, like it happened with the USSR, but that's just wishful thinking. We are tired of Germany and France doing business as usual with Russia. Poland basically has zero trust in the EU handling Russia, that's why they arm themselves to the teeth. The others need to look at Poland and get their act together.
I really like this one Defcon talk on chip decapping [1]. It's a pretty nasty process but absolutely one you can do on your driveway (poor man's fume hood, don't tell the EPA) at home. You can then just use a standard front lit microscope to take die shots.

I think “door” works better because any function can be behind any port, and it is a matter of convention, not of asking for a specific thing. I.e. when you connect to port 80 you don’t ask for HTTP, you just hope that’s what’s available at that port.

- allow arbitrary rotations so one

There's no modal dialog on the web that conforms to any of the existing HIGs. And while you can implement one, the amount of effort is ridiculous. Compared to native.

And that goes for almost literally everything. For example, there's a reason 99.9999% of the thousands of dropdown re-implementations fail even the simplest of accessibility checks.

Totally agree. But the frontier is advancing thanks to LiDAR. And in the meantime, the advantages of laser relay and downlink are vast enough to make mechanical actuation worth it. Particularly for unboosted birds in LEO.
Because the problem has more or less already been solved - just use a normal bank account like everyone else.

I don't think too many people are concerned with solving the "problem" of facilitating money laundering and other crimes.

Ok in fairness there are problems with traditional bank accounts (e.g. bank transfers have a hilariously bad UX, credit card fees are way too high, people without addresses have difficulty getting them, etc.) But fixing those problems is a political issue not a technical one. People on HN can't really do anything about it.

Besides politicians are working on fixing those problems (slowly). E.g. the EU is capping credit/debit card transaction fees. There's PSD2, central bank digital currencies, etc. etc.
It's in no way dishonesty anymore than any other nerd debate. I know we like the idea of things having precise definitions, but the reality is they often don't, even in our field.. Much like "Object Oriented Programming" or "Agile" or whatnot, people literally do have different definitions of what "Linux" is.

I teach in IT, often to students unfamiliar with it. If I came in the class and the first thing I'm doing is stopping and correcting people with "you should really say GNU/Linux instead of Linux," we ain't gettin' nowhere.

I do that part, just later.

Not at ice divides (like hydrological divides) where ice cores are taken (ice cores are almost always taken at divides because the ice flows apart, so the stratigraphy is not as disturbed). It's too cold to melt out there anytime soon. These are high-elevation locations, so there is either no melting (East Antartica ones ~3000 m) or extremely minimal melting, rarely, during the height of summer (Greenland and some other places in Antarctica). In Antarctica, surface melt is a rounding error everywhere, and response to climate change is almost entirely due to ice sheet-ocean interactions with a warming ocean and changing currents, and a thing called the marine ice-sheet instability.

At any rate, these locations will always be accumulation zones where more snow falls then melts (with the mass balance preserved by diverging flow so as to continuously thin the ice, to approximately compensate), with melt events occuring only rarely. The concern there is that meltwater could contaminate near-surface compacted snow (firn) layers, but even then it wouldn't be enough to do much. As such, stratigraphy will be reasonably preserved even if the ice sheet as a whole draws down significantly (including at divides).

Really extreme climate change (which is in the cards long-term) could eventually change this, especially if the ice sheets reduce enough in height such that a significant ice sheet-elevation feetback occurs. However, we'd have much bigger things to worry about at that point.

Is as helpful as you may have intended. The comment was about not wanting to be the first, even if the group is welcoming, the commentator will still be the first/only person of color in the group and there is a discomfort inherent to that even if everyone is trying to be welcoming.

Also re “colorblind” policies of the 90a versus the explicitness of today, I think it’s similar to the current reckoning in journalism. We all have biases and pretending we don’t/acting like we are capable of pure objectivity simply hides them and makes them more difficult to combat. On the other hand explicitly acknowledging them allows you to consider how they might be influencing your decisions.

For me it was basic statistics. Statistical significance and variability.

Had Statistics in college, but only understood it now that I use it to understand data.
Almost all quartz watches have a similiar movement, running of a 32kHz crystal. Those give you about 15s/month accuracy, which is an oder of magnitude better than most mechanical watches and that for a very few bucks. More precise quartz watches exists, but they require quite a bit more effort, which of course translates into costs.

Actually one of the earliest quartz watches on the market from Omega used a 2MHz crystal and was very accurate. Personally I own a Seiko with a 200kHz system, which is good for about 20s/year. Then there are the thermo stabilized systems, which are even more accuarate. The problem is, that the frequency of the crystal depends on its temperature which is the main source of time inaccuracy (there are some watch enthusiasts which do get egg breeding cupboards which have constant temperatures up to tenths of degrees, they make for very accurate watches).

Currently, the best movements on the market are accurate to about 5s/year, which is pretty amazing considering the watches are worn on your wrist in varying conditions. With my precise Seiko watch I could even notice a slight change in speed when I moved quite a distance to a different town with slightly different weather. That shows how big a challenge a really accuarate wrist watch is.

Then there are the market concerns. The most basic and cheap quartz are already accurate enough for most non-enthusiasts. Then, after almost being killed by quartz watches in the 80ies, the luxury watch industry managed to establish a mechanical movement as the desirable item. So there are few expensive quartz watches left on the market, which would feature more sophisticated movements with higher accuracy. And finally, there is a range of higher value watches which receives time signals, be it official time signals in several regions or just GPS signals.

Cornered like this in the market, unfortunately not much money went into high-precisions movements. There are still a few on the market from Seiko, Breitling, Omega and Citizen (there might be more, but those come to my mind). And of course there is the Apple Watch, which is rather affordable and just uses NTP to get absolute precise timing.
FWIW, I learned Vim as a QWERTY touch-typist, then learned Dvorak, and it works just as well with Vim. I never changed any of the keybindings (and hjkl end up in reasonable places anyhow).

Couldn’t say if Colemak would work similarly well, but if your mental mapping for Vim commands is character-based (as opposed to position-on-keyboard-based) I imagine it would.

Worst case I suppose you could always revert to QWERTY.
He pushes web3/crypto every year like his life depends on it.
but it looks like you're having the people you know gen new SSH keys every time

This is just an example of an ephemeral implementation of your chat system. Spin up a node, have some people play around with it, communicate whatever they wish then destroy the node in the sense of destroying a VM. One could certainly leave it running and people could use persistent ssh keys like you do on your instance. Using ephemeral ssh keys implies more aspect of anonymity assuming one connects from a short-lived VM. People could of course adjust my example shell function to not remove keys and to use a persistent nick-name.

Would you have liked a standalone preference for whether to have a backlog?

That sounds like a great feature/configuration option. Maybe even allow a admin-defined backlog size for people that want persistent instances.

What features would you like / what things could be improved?

I think it is great as-is but that is just my personal take. For me, simpler is better. I appreciate that you added a configuration to disable external integrations. Less specific to devzat but more specific to golang would be to have default compile-time hardening options. I am impressed with how nice you made it look with the color schemes.

Perhaps others here will play around with it and offer suggestions. SSH based chat is not super popular which really surprises me. I could see devzat being an amazing fall-back for a private chat inside a company when Slack or Discord are having a moment or for those times when people want to say something that isn't recorded forever and especially not visible to their management. I think it would also be amazing for people in oppressive regimes that block access to all the mainstream chat platforms but allow SSH to specific VPS providers.
