First time I took medication for ADHD. It was absolutely shocking to experience focus on something I didn’t find highly interesting. I normally associate boring to being worse than almost all physical pain.
Maybe just below when I had a kidney stone.

Having that “pain” taken away was amazing. I can focus better without meds now that I know what it’s like. No where near as with meds. But still a big improvement.
Well, maybe some adjustment is needed. The calculator changed the curriculum but the creation of wolfram alpha did not. We can maybe revise how we do it but essays are still important I think. They also lie at the heart of so many university degrees.
I really really want to learn and use Go, I spent months with it.

In the end, it's a very different paradigm and it is a pain for me to switch from the C-family-syntax to Go and back on a daily basis, and I gave up. Using C, JS, Java, C++, Dart, maybe even Rust(only tried it shortly) on the other hand is much more comfortable and natural for me. Go is just such a different style.

Been vastly different does carry some cost shall I say, Go could be a great language for new programmers however.
Fun implementation.
> For me the bar is that a site has to work in incognito.

Or you'll do what?
Well, it's a lot more complicated than that.

Anything on the oceanic crust will get recycled in short order, think hundreds of millions of years at most. On continental crust it is far, far more complicated. There are areas we call 'shields' that are over 3 billion years old and are the original cratons that seeded continent formation. Now, they've tended to be scraped clean by glaciers and other processes over time, but not all is recycled.

But while direct evidence is somewhat easy to erase, indirect evidence is very, very hard to erase. The banded iron formations are an indirect sign of life in the oceans at the time and cover massive areas with varying chemical compositions. The same is true for the for the anthropocene. The chemicals we've released in to the air, water, and ground will leave fingerprints for hundreds of millions of years on this planet as they fossilize into rocks and get pushed into mountains.
"US standing within NATO?"

I have news for you, US is NATO.

It does not care what it's "allies" say. And it will do all it can to make them toe the line.

And that line is: Russia is the enemy that needs to be dismantled and destroyed. You shall not deal with Russia, period.

Why is it difficult for you to understand this simple logic?
> Some people have very simple taxes, no doubt

Looks like 84% are left unless you want to peel off a few more.

> I wouldn't design a system as important as tax collection that would purposefully over charge a large portion of the population.

Nobody is asking you to. I would absolutely do work for 100% of people that only 84% would be able to fully use. Imagine not building roads because only 84% of people drive.
One of my undergrad chemistry teachers got everyone's attention by bringing in three balloons - one full of hydrogen, one full of oxygen, and one full of equal parts hydrogen and oxygen. Then (using long sticks) he proceeded to ignite each one with a match. We could all feel the shock wave from the H2-O2 mix going off.

Fun at parties? Bad idea most likely.
Relevant interview with Senator Schumer: https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/3-objects-flying-us-canada-b...

He's claiming they're all balloons, and that recovering them has been an intelligence windfall for the US - and Schumer would be in a position to know that. Then again, Schumer has seemed to have an obvious anti-China bias in recent years.
Meh.. every year this happens around tax season. Every year Intuit and grover norquist ensures the momentum crashes and burn. lets see how many days after April 15 this gets dumped.
I have not experienced sync issues with zotero, but if your goal is to have a text based database system that is easier to sync just switch to a bibtex system and one of the many GUIs (I found jabref the best)
Yep.

Correction on my above post though, only the IT side of Fixed Income used Sun boxes. The analytics guys in the FAST department were all on HP-UX. A definite Sun vs HP rivalry going on there, and very eye opening to me seeing HP-UX and Sun were both “Unix” but very different in so many details.
> siria didnt use chemical weapons

This was reported at a simmilar timeframe (compared to the war) and from the same groups of people who said iraq had weapons of mass destruction, so not trusting them would not be that stupid... especially if you have better inside sources that "normal people" do.
I think that essays are great and a necessary part of education. But the way we've taught them for decades has to go.
Technically, there are a lot of large counties which have networks of "local" transportation where you can get from one end of the county to another without leaving a single system. For example, in San Diego you could easily get from Chula Vista to Encinitas on MTS buses. It may take you a lot of transfers. But this example is, arguably "outside of cities" because San Diego County is a large, densely-populated area that's made up of many more cities than San Diego proper. The same goes for Los Angeles and counties of the Bay Area.

I think the challenge for a "local-only" expedition is where one county ends and the other begins, and the local bus service may not necessarily serve a convenient point to transfer in-between.
AGPL3 is radioactive to users and businesses. Google absolutely refuses to use anything with it because there's no way to prove it can't become part of some service. If some FOSS is so wonderful, users will buy support contracts with something actually free like MIT, BSD-2, or Apache 2. Forcing people to do things another way and telling them what they can or can't do with "open" source isn't free or open. Call it what it is: idealistic purity tests of extremists.

I see AGPL and I see something to skip.
> I suppose there's a spectrum between those two ends as well and most people find comfort somewhere in between.

Yes, I'm going to pull a Homer Simpson right there: it sure is nice we have digital magic beans we can give to other people in exchange for goods and services.
This is a significant problem to solve. How do you think they will build the task force to build a plan? As a product manager, I am terrified this is a class he what would it take to build this and a complex answer would come back that make.

What advice would you give the team scoping the problem -- outside of changing the tax system?
The US had no qualms making itself a pariah amongst its UN allies by spying on them back in 2010, germany included, when biden was still vice president no less, so I don't think that's much of an argument against them doing it. Especially when you are talking about NATO, an organization where the US power imbalance is even higher.

That isn't enough to blame them for it of course, but to assume that Putin is not behaving logically because the alternatives are so "unthinkable" is misguided.
Could I suggest adding a "Motivation" section to the README?

It made sense after reading the comment about not needing a C toolchain for cross-compiling CGO but I didn't realize it immediately.

Neat stuff
Just an FYI, C++ compilers can also optimize utilizing runtime info., this is called profile-guided optimization. Basically you compile the program, start it up, run tests or scripts that simulate typical user behavior, then you take the output measurements/annotations and stick it into the compiler a second time.

An example of one such optimization that could be made, is branch prediction. Basically you guess the result (true or false) of an if statement. Guessing incorrectly often makes an if statement 5-10x (depending on the CPU design) more expensive inside of the CPU pipeline.
Aren’t there issues for non ambulatory patients in hospitals like muscle atrophy? I wonder if you’d have the same issues laying down for work.
But ukraine is unable to do it by themselves, and norway probably to. On the other hand, USA (biden) literally said that they will stop the nord streams on tv.
> Add to all of that, this latest batch of CPUs are just stupid power hungry - like 240w+ under load

Eco mode is a thing for AMD CPUs. There is no point really in not using it by default - benefits are very marginal with power cost being disproportionally huge. And AMD are doing it more for marketing reasons to gain some single digit percentages in benchmarks.

So just enable it (105 W one) and enjoy way more reasonable and efficient power usage with basically almost the same performance.

See some details here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6aKQ-eBFk0
What slimsag wrote is correct. It makes cross-compiling code that needs to call C functions as easy a setting the GOOS and GOARCH and just building. This means no need to worry about building a C cross-compiler.

I do want to write an article about how purego works under the hood.
Alright well you can call me names or you can talk about it. Do you have the intelligence and understanding to have a discussion or do you just want to screech insults at people on the internet?
Norway is also a big winner, regardless of who destroyed the pipelines.

Doubtless you've heard that "we all get the same 24 hours in the day." Of course it's not true: rich people and poor people experience very different demands on their time. The richer you are, the more your time is your own – not only are many systems arranged with your convenience in mind, but you also command the social power to do something about systems that abuse your time.

But wealthier people also seem to work longer hours and are delaying retirement. The trend has been for the top 5% of society to work much more and longer than they need to. For the highest paying of jobs, the work-life balance becomes more blurred, such as impromptu zoom meetings or weekend meetings.

Wealthier people also tend to pay higher up-front costs, like student loan debt and college, instead of working right after college.
This would have been a good idea...

Maybe spending $150 Million would have been too much, and maybe you couldn't really build this on the Las Vegas strip because land would cost too much there.

But, maybe it could have been built a few miles out in the Las Vegas desert -- where land would have been much more affordable.

Also -- the developers could have started with a much cheaper Star Trek museum, and worked their way up to building a full-scale Enterprise replica once the revenues started trickling in.

Then, make a joint-venture deal with Paramount (or whoever owns the rights to Star Trek) that this will become an additional filming location; an additional studio -- for all things Star Trek...

That would have been a win-win.

Anyway, it is (and was) a good idea!

(Then again, perhaps somewhere in, around, or near -- Starbase Texas -- would be a better place for something like this in the future...)
What.

You don't see the climate narrative? The consumerism narrative? It's a literal "off world colony" of degenerated human blobs all watched over by machines of loving grace, who've never seen a live plant let alone looked away from a screen before. It's the most obvious narrative ever. How did you miss it?
Not OP, but I've done ~16:8 intermetinent fasting (aka skipping breakfast) many times during my life, and have almost always experienced morning crankiness like you.

At times I've felt the crankiness has been good; the increased aggression has led to some really productive mornings. The flip side of the coin is that it sometimes also leads to negative thoughts and feelings of pessimism until I eat.

I prefer to have a more stable mood so what I'm doing as of late is drinking a protein shake with oat milk for breakfast and a high-quality multi-vitamin. The crankiness completely goes away and mental acuity is still high. It's still excellent for weight control since it's a ~200kcal breakfast that is digested very fast. Arguably better for recovery too since I practice sports every day. It's definitely not IF but it's been serving me well.

I'm also experimenting with a ~24h fast once a week, from Sunday lunch to Monday lunch, but don't have enough experience to know what it's doing for me yet.
I think policy shifted. I think overflights by balloons are routine. See as evidence reporting that the balloon that started this news cycle was number 4 in the past handful of years, but after the media attention a decision was made to have more of a zero tolerance policy
IDK how much energy would be lost, but if it's all free energy the volcano was going to release anyways then it doesn't matter if it's wasteful.

Not sure if there are any limits to how far you can send power over cables though. I only have a hobbyist understanding of electronics, and I'd imagine that at that scale a lot of the abstractions that make things simple (like 0-impedance from cables) don't apply.
From an efficiency standpoint, we all-consuming non-producing entities would be an unnecessary cost to the system.
If you're correct then whoever (or whatever!) is behind these objects is either stupid or absolutely terrifying.

I think late-stage is usually used to imply that while many of these mechanics can be useful as a way to efficiently allocate capital in some earlier stages of capitalism where private companies are more distributed and act less like governments, that when they finally go to their eventual conclusion and companies meaningfully go toe to toe with the government (and even finish regulatory capture), it becomes pathological and harmful.
"Another spin on it is that you can trade self-reliance for time. All of these conveniences you can get for money make you dependent on someone else (and dependent on your income stream)."

If only other people saw it that way. My wife is like "just hire people to do stuff" or "just buy one". Well, it costs money to hire people. Where's that going to come from? Or sure, we can buy something that cost 2x-10x and is likely half the quality or not custom built for the application.

I agree there is fulfillment in building something. So I guess part of why I DIY is cost and part is a sense of achievement I don't get from work.
obligatory reference to

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boots_theory

The Sam Vimes "Boots" theory of socioeconomic unfairness, often called simply the boots theory, is an economic theory first popularised by English fantasy writer Terry Pratchett in his 1993 Discworld novel Men at Arms. In the novel, Sam Vimes, the captain of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch, reasons that poverty causes greater expenses to the poor than to those who are richer. Since its publication, the theory has received wider attention, especially in regard to the effect of increasing prices of daily necessities.
> They can go extend the statute of limitations if you agree.

The way that line is worded, the IRS can compel you to agree by rejecting your current return for lack of documentation.

For example, if you have a capital loss carry over from twenty years ago that you've been rolling over every year (applying the $3,000 deduction limit to ordinary income), they could compel you to allow being audited for the past twenty years or reject allowing you to apply it to the current year.

Since you never know how far back they can go, you effectively have to keep all your documentation forever or risk having them reject your current returns until you comply.
you are putting NATO in a very nice light, which to my eyes it doesn't deserve. there are many example for it of breaking international laws, i.e. in Cosovo.

it helps breaking down the world in black and white to understand complex matters, but I wouldn't exactly paint the NATO white.
i recently built my first pc and moved my daily driver from being a thinkpad to a custom desktop.

i was already sitting at a desk, so ergonomically it’s identical.

now i can compile blender in 20 seconds and fly around with eevee. i can compile linux with custom lsm modules.

dual ssd makes it easy to dual boot. reboot into windows and i can have a magical evening.

7950x, 4090, 990 pro. it would be great if these were cheaper, then more people could afford to use them. it’s also ok that they are overpriced. cest la vie.

to anyone spending a majority of their life on a computer and making money, the cost of your primary computer doesn’t matter unless it’s ludicrous.

the opportunity cost is far higher. what might you have learned had you tinkered with blender or a kernel when you were bored?

Furthermore, the more “progressive” the tax system, the more total taxation and regulatory overhead small businesses and individuals pay.

If you compare the total compliance cost per dollar of gross revenue, small businesses pay 10x - 100x more than eg. WalMart or Amazon.

Book-keeping, accounting, etc. typically consumes 10%+ of small businesses’ gross revenue, vs. low single-digit percentage of the large businesses they compete against.

This is unlikely by accident - since it is these businesses that supply their lawmakers with funding, and often with the text of proposed legislation which primarily negatively affects their opponents in small business…
Felt like a high school book report. It's well written, but not really anything novel. I don't have context for where this was published though, maybe it's supposed to just be a brief summary of key themes.
Yeah the amount of cost saving I discovered…. after I stopped being poor was amazing.

When I think of my crappy one bedroom apartment I started out in, I wouldn’t even have room to stock up on toilet paper.

Now I’m my big house basement are several massive packages of TP, paper towels, tools that let me fix things on my own rather than having to pay, stocked up food basics … etc. These all save me money AND time (no need to shop often). None of these savings were available to me previously just due to space.

> It's not like the IRS is a helpless victim of capitalist lobbying here.

I'm not sure who you think is concerned about the feelings of the IRS, or its victimization. You've got the victims all topsy-turvy. Congress, an unbroken chain of bipartisan administrations, and their IRS are the perpetrators. The corporate cash is literally the only reason they care.

The IRS doesn't vote. Your theories of power are weird.

Indeed that’s the message the paper conveys. Most people have no real idea how the law works on this, what the distinctions are, or why. Reading the comments here, many HN commenters seem to have no clue whatsoever what the actual legal facts or issues are either. They just have a vague impression and form opinions contextually on that basis.

However anyone actually deciding these things should doo so on the basis of an actual understanding of the real position in law and the consequences of changing it.
the public-at-large i'm exposed to seems to be more apt to assume they're aliens -- so frankly anyone that assumes it's just an innocuous weather balloon is a breath of fresh air for me.
This is a little bit like saying Ukraine has an anti-Russia bias. You're not wrong but the phrasing isn't aligned to the reality of the situation.
Yep. The ideology around foss developed as it did precisely because it's original proponents did not have to make a living from developing and selling software, but were instead academics who already had an income from elsewhere (tenure, grants, mummy and daddy etc.)

> I think the most direct responsibility for the community level impact is with the people earning $200k+ who are irresponsibly exercising the power that income brings.

I think irresponsible is probably a poor word choice here (in my opinion) just because it leads my mind to think the assumption "why aren't they entitled to spend the money they earned the way they want to"

But instead of splitting hairs there, I'd be more curious to potentially partner with you in the effort to accurately determine whether the effects of the group we are specifically discussing are actually having a sizable impact in "harming" (preventing) the groups below them from being able to purchase a house
> But wealthier people also seem to work longer hours and are delaying retirement.

Poorer people aren't 'allowed' to factor in things such as commute time into their work hours.

Would you rather continue working in a job you love like Fauci, or find that to make ends meet you need to take a job as a cashier at BB&B after you retired from a job that left your knees aching?
There is a school of thought in the community where I work that the alchemists get a pretty bad rap. Probably the clearest statement of this is in one of the chapters of Cyril Stanley Smith's "A Search for Structure", particularly Chapter 5, "Matter and Materials".

The thing that the alchemists were on to was that the same ingredients can have different properties if you process them differently.

There was a lot they got wrong -- they were wrong about gold being a "property" of base matter that could be elicited by suitable processing, and they had no coherent model, and the field was rich with what we now understand to be superfluous mysticism. But, the argument goes, a clear-headed understanding of the situation would rank alchemy as a valid and legitimate precursor of modern materials science, alongside phlogiston and caloric theory. Wrong, to be sure, but far from stupid.

Dijkstra's critique is evidently, by his own analogy, along the lines of the critique of alchemy for being wrong, and assuming that in its wrongness, it therefore has no value at all.

But, taking the analogy more seriously, one can be more charitable. Modern programming is indeed alchemical in character, it captures important insights about what is possible at scale, and produces products that are useful. It lacks a model, there is no theoretical bridge yet between the foundations of logic and Dijkstra's Very Large Scale Applied Logic. It is instead a grab-bag of tools, and doubtless the domain of some superfluous mysticism.

A model is desirable, and putting programming practice on a sound logical footing is a fine idea. But we also should not let our prejudice for reductive solutions blind us to the utility of what has been achieved by the people forging ahead in their absence.
