> For the price of a big 4 - 3 bedroom house in an mid income zip code in a moderate to low cost of living city in the US, I could buy a smallish 2-3 bedroom apartment in my country's capital city, in a similarly nice area.

I think this has to do with the high costs of capital cities, rather than comparisons across countries. European capitals for example, especially dense ones, have typically been very expensive - see London, Paris, and recently Berlin; the spread with other major cities in the same country is in the range 2/2.5x, or even more.

> Want to use FUSE? Not on your work computer locked to high-sec mode as you cannot install kernel extensions (where is our user space FS Apple?).

It exists already - https://threedots.ovh/blog/2022/06/quick-look-at-user-mode-f... - it is just that Apple hasn’t made the API public, and (AFAIK) won’t give you the entitlements necessary to use it. But, both are issues Apple could fix relatively easily - if they wanted to - and here’s to hoping the fix is coming soon

However, there is an alternative that works right now - have your user-space filesystem process act as an NFS or SMB server, and mount that. From what I’ve heard - https://lists.nfs-ganesha.org/archives/list/devel@lists.nfs-... - macOS even supports mounting NFS filesystems over Unix domain sockets, which has performance and security advantages over IP loopback

I'm not sure that death should matter (or if it did at least the copyright shouldn't end immediately on death), copyright terms should just be much shorter than they currently are.

Imagine a fairly young but successful author dying suddenly. If their family was relying on them for income their exclusive rights to sell their books shouldn't just end immediately on their death - that could really screw people over. Making things unpredictable should be avoided.
For the intrinsic parameters of the webcam, that is a property of the hardware and not your room, yes? If so, it seems possible to crowdsourced that information to build a database. Then for most users, it's just a matter of entering your product model rather than taking 50 checkerboard photos.

It's still not convenient, but it's a much smaller hurdle to overcome.
Stop using the word literally incorrectly.
That idea has been around for years, for "virtual windows". This is from 2010.[1] The illusion only works for one person at a time, so, as a window, it's not too useful. For games, as someone pointed out, it works fine.[2] Although it hasn't gone mainstream.

I remember using Mandrake (later Mandriva) - it also used rpm. Dependency hell was an issue there too; it probably had to do with state of rpm more than the distro itself.
I'm not sure something that actively incentivises writers blather on endlessly, bury the lede, split their content over dozens of pages, slightly raising the price knowing that people will become densensitised to reading your per page costs, lock final review scores behind more expensive paywalls than the lower priced intro pages, and who knows what other dark patterns will be invented all while forcing me to make a determination every fifteen seconds on "is this worth the price they just asked?" is supposed to be a cool thing.

If you thought recipe articles were terrible today, just wait until you have to pay 0.01 for their life story and then 0.03 for the ingredients only to discover that it will cost you another 0.15 for the actual instructions.
Statically typed with duck typing is called structural typing. (As opposed to nominal typing, with inheritance hierarchies).

It’s already what you get with python and mypy. Using typing.Protocol or Unions.

What does "Truth in journalism" even mean?

I understand the agendas at play here, but the literal version is nonsensical. The bigger irony is that words themselves are losing meaning, all in the pursuit of "truthiness".
I just went down a rabbit hole for the last 30-60 minutes , looking at some of your videos (like your camera setup for your desktop) and your linkedin (impressive), lol. you got some interesting stuff up
Sure, but there isn't much difference between "I have to stay at my job or end up homeless" or "I have to stay at my job or else I can't afford my mortgage and will have to sell my cars and my kids can't go to summer camp".

Clearly the 2nd one is better, but it's still a very serious decision that has consequences most people would avoid.
This seems needlessly meanspirited.
How exactly is equilibrium different from stagnation?

If someone comes up with a new technology that will give us the ability to colonize the galaxy, or quantum teleport, or have years long battery life, should it be thrown away for being too disruptive to the 'equilibrium'?
A day or two ago, an HN thread had the founder of a company that worked with medical information, explain that HIPAA is actually a bit of a “paper tiger.”

It applies in very specific situations, and it can be surprising where it can be circumvented.
Well, corporations need separate financial and legal “lives” or else there’s no point to them.

There’s also always a person behind it, no matter how many corporations deep you go into the ownership structure.

But this Kindle censorship stuff is the fault of the woke scolds. Their spirit could be found in a society of superstitious cavemen, among the religious nuts of the 1600’s, and now this.

In the forward march of humanism, this particular fight is a social and legal one.
Caldera’s big trick IIRC was its installer. You could play Tetris in the installer while it copied packages onto the hard drive. It was also a better installer for new users than a lot of others. I think the desktop experience was pretty polished for the time, too.

Because it often solves the problem. When someone is seen as "the other" because of some criteria, and you change those criteria, they are no longer "the other".

You can also buy them a pump gun and teach them how to deal with bullies, but that's being frowned upon.
Estonia en route to break the record for internet voting turnout today
Tonight the current record (273620 votes in 2021) for country-wide election votes cast online in Estonia will be broken.
Replacing one copy with another in your own device is a fairly intrusive act.

We don't have a word for it yet, given that classical censorship developed in the era of printed books, when such activities were technologically impossible. But I would say that it falls under penumbra of censorship because of the intent. And the intent is to remove certain speech from average reader's view without the reader's consent.

Censorship does not have to be total in order to be censorship. Even in authoritarian states, small oppositional media outlets may be tolerated, so that foreign accusations of media control can be rebuked: "Hey, look at Radio X, we are definitely not censoring them." But their reach is carefully kept limited.
Arbitrary overloading can be problematic, like !#< or whatever is quite hard to look up (scala, haskell), but I agree that implementing an interface/trait that will give you that syntactic sugar is mostly okay (like Rust, e.g. implements Add would give you + operator).
“1 mite = 1/8 penny,
1 farthing = 1/4 penny,
2 farthings = 1 halfpenny (pronounced more like “haypenny”),
2 halfpence = 1 penny (or a ‘copper'),
2 pence = 1 tuppence or a half-groat,
3 pence = 1 thruppence,
4 pence = 1 groat,
6 pence = 1 sixpence (a ‘tanner'),
12 pence = 1 shilling (a bob),
2 shillings = 1 florin ( a ‘two bob bit'),
2 shillings and 6 pence = 1 half crown,
5 shillings = 1 Crown“

What's the problem ;)

Joking-aside, it's amazing to me that anyone ever got fluent with this. My dad and grandparents never complain about the pre-decimalisation period so I guess you just get used to it.

I think I'll stick to learning the category theory mentioned by op over this.
I think a lot of user frustration is caused by front end developers having relatively new, well-specced laptops connected to one or more nice monitors, but as the author pointed out, an awful lot of users have 768 x 1366, which usually implies low specs all around, so kudos to this guy for caring for his users in this way.

Related tip for developing the visuals for an in-person talk: use a 13” or less laptop to put together and rehearse slides and demos. If it’s readable on that, it should be readable in a big conference room on a mediocre projector.
What they were always saying about "communist" and/or "authoritarian" regimes, e.g. in «1984», they were actually saying about themselves. It's becoming obvious more and more every day.
Just a thought, reading your comment. A 'writer' is someone who 'writes' so there is no issue with identifying as such; you can write silly or profound things.
However in French there is a specific word for a book writer, 'écrivain', whereas there is no word corresponding to 'writer', 'écriveur' is a derisive term to explicitly convey the idea that one is a writer that is not an artist. So that trick wouldn't be possible in French.

So my theory is that if there is a dedicated word for the highest status activity, that word tends to naturally accumulate all semantic layers that artistic activities do.

But even in English, visual arts tend to just be 'art'. You can be a 'painter', but if you don't paint then there isn't really any word, unless you identify as a drawer.

Bullies bully. It's never about the specific quality being bullied about, it's the weak personality of the victim being exploited by the bullies to feel better about their own worthless selves.

Take your son to kickboxing for a year, and see if he ever gets bullied again, ever.
Hey there, this is now live on the public landing page.
This will use 10-15% CPU (intel and M1 Pro).
Now I wonder how much thought went into that decision at Apple, and how aware they are of the results and how much of a bonus the team got that turned the bubble-color into a Marketing instrument to get their customers to bully other people into also buying Apple.

Bullied kids shouldn't shoot up schools, they really should go to marketing departments.

What was the point of [ “x$var” = “xval” ]? (2021)
I think it’s fair. They went out of their way to make the license incompatible so it couldn’t be mixed with GPL’ed code.

Had they moved sooner to open source, and embraced it instead of trying to create a moat around their stuff, they probably could’ve stayed relevant.
Now, yes, but if some other tech giant like Google decides to remove all mentions of the incident from their search engine, most people in 2040 will no longer know that something like that happened.

Look no further than China and their systematic scrubbing of the Tien-an-men massacre from history.
The original 3DS didn't but the "New" one did eye tracking like this, and for both eyes since it had a 3D screen.
I just ran the same thing in Mathematica and I got 20 million digits in just over 7 seconds.

You can have "very high level functional programming" and 8x the speed of Julia in a mathematics-oriented language!
I agree with a lot of what you've said, most of the issues are regulatory, or structural issues. Some teachers also simply don't want to teach, and prefer to be gatekeepers, but not all of them.

I was one of those who had been weeded out of an engineering degree at the Mechanics of Solids level, attempted it something like 9 times before giving up, passed the labs with A's. B average up to the required math for engineering which included Discrete Mathematics, Differential Equations, and Linear Algebra (iirc) all those were already completed for most of those attempts.

Tests were 3 questions, 5-10 steps, Answer to the 2nd was dependent on the first correct answer, Third dependent on the second. If you one, you could potentially have failed the class by week 4 which was just outside the withdrawal date for a full refund. Its pretty sad when you have a large number of people pass upper division math, who then in turn can't pass basic physics because of academic structure. I remember getting an award on one of those labs for being the only group to have their egg survive a 3 story drop with just a plastic baggy full of water (at my insistence).

Almost all professors in my local geographic area had decided to push that structure. Economics for Business had issues with deterministic tests. Professionally I deal with a lot of automation so ensuring determinism in systems we use gets back-checked quite often.

Its a sad state of affairs, and most of those issues are solveable with proper incentives and design, but getting to that point would require firing a lot of vested interests. I don't know what it is about a central structure that tends to gravitate towards the lowest common denominator in terms of work.

High performing people often get socially punished for making the people slacking off look bad. Such a backwards system.

This is one of many reasons why buying e-stuffs with DRM is no option for me.
There are also coins called the Sovereign and Britannia, which are both legal tender, although not in general circulation. Both are minted from 24 carat gold. The Sovereign has a face value of 1 pound and I think the Britannia has a face value of 5. There actual value, on gold markets, is hundreds of pounds, and for a Britannia is over a thousand. Because they are legal tender, and could theoretically be used to buy a bottle of milk, they are exempt from VAT and capital gains tax, when buying or selling.

There's also enduring slang for some some values of cash, that doesn't necessarily have an accompanying bank note. A Pony for 25 pounds and a Ton for 100 is still fairly widely understood, but mostly heard these days in Guy Ritchie movies,.

2.8×10^39 picometers is circumference of the observable part of our universe, roughly. A sole hydrogen atom has a bohr radius of about 25 picometers.

So 40 digits of pi would indeed be in the ballpark for computing anything distance-wise at the circumference of the observable universe down to the hydrogen electron cloud size.

If you have limited melanin where does it go, your sun tan or substantia nigra?
Small note, depending on location and situation. If you're in a work situation, not using an external monitor could cause issues for you employer, even if you're working from home. Some countries, like Denmark, have laws that require employees to be given, and use, external monitors, keyboards and pointing devices. For most people being hunched over a laptop for eight hours a day will result in neck, back, and/or wrist pain. Your employer could be fined if you do not use an external monitor.

A former coworker of mine had to be repeatedly remind to use the provided equipment. In the end it was agree that everything would sit on his desk, ready to use, in case of a visit from the government office of workplace safety.
Holy smokes that is expensive.

In my country preschool is free and it’s all around good. I don’t think we ever had to use any summer care either. Kids are now 12 and 15… the only necessary thing that is more expensive is the house since it needs to fit more people but that is just about the size, not location dictated by a good school as such.

For us all expenses related to quality of life just scale linearly with headcount.
>The FDA was particularly concerned about the safety of the rechargeable lithium batteries Neuralink proposed for its device. The regulator said the company needed to do animal testing to show the battery was very unlikely to malfunction, which could damage brain tissue.

>Another reportedly serious concern from the FDA was that the implant's tiny wires—which are thinner than individual human hairs—could migrate into the brain, potentially causing inflammation, rupturing blood vessels, and impairing brain function. The FDA was also concerned about the device overheating and questioned whether it could be removed from people's brains without causing damage.

I wish the best to anyone putting this in their brain
Wow ok.

I should consider myself lucky
No, it relied on the fact that the player would ~always be looking straight at the screen at a relatively fixed distance. There was a slider you could use to set the strength of the depth effect, all the way to disabling it completely.

It was fun and worked pretty well, but it was very much a gimmick.

EDIT: Just saw the other comment, I didn't know the New 3DS had actual eye tracking. Neat!
They are ok to use

I press ⌥ + 8 for square brackets and SHIFT + 8 for parentheses.

It's probably not possible to find better alternatives for Mac keyboards that could be used for a language based on Lisp syntax.

The Mac keyboard simply doesn't have any dedicated keys that are not used for normal text, except for "@". For some unknown reason, they have a dedicated key for umlauts ("¨") that we don't use in our language. I guess I could map it to brackets, but SHIFT + UMLAUT returns a "^" that is often used in regexps and I don't want to lose that.

Windows keyboards has a different layout that is slightly more programmer friendly if you have a full sized keyboard. They do have a backslash key but lack the dedicated "@" key. Windows needs a dedicated backslash due to the file paths, unlike Mac. It is an acceptable tradeoff for Mac users, as non-developers are more likely to use "@" than "\".

Let's just say that there is a reason why I love my IDE that will automatically add closing curly brackets when it detects a block.
Depends on how you read it - I read as a historical fact:

/As a member of the EU, they could have opted to use the Euro, but they decided not to./

So 'when they were a member of the EU, they could have taken in the euro, but didn't, so still have the pound'
OCP's Detroit hits closer to home for me. No flying restaurants so far.
interestingly, while I was living in Ireland I heard people referring to a euro as a quid reasonably commonly.
Is that data even true? In my previous company, in my new one (both with multiple bases and contact to other companies), and also the social circle it looks like there is much more push and people in the US returning back than in Europe.. or just England? That country feels strange in every of its decisions and acts since Brexit :D

Also the typical office culture seemed to be much more.. lets say cultivated .. in the US?
> If it was purely money they could retroactively censor existing books without offering the original version at all (which would cost them money).

That doesn't make sense, how would that make them money?

Secondly, as these are e-books, how would releasing copies of the originals cost them money?
He took a music genre that you couldn't really listen to except you have semi professional equipment and modified the basses to make them 'hearable' for the masses on cheap equipment or even loud on their phones.

I kinda can see that this worked for him. Not sure if that transports well to other producers.

If a Crown was an hour, a mite would be 7min and 30sec.

You could call 24 Crown and a Drown and 360 of those would be a Yawn.
Throw in 5 or 6 extra Drown every Yawn, and you'd add a Drown to the 4th, 6th, 7th, and 11th Shawn of the Yawn, but subtract two Drown from the second Yawn, if you're electing a president, and then only subtract one, cuz Merica!
They’re inviting you to tear it apart, so
Imo - the article is missing forest for the trees with many comments attributing it to "individualism" in the US society and how it differs from Europe.

Imo - this boils down to a simple thing: US employees actually have a lot more power than they realize simply thanks to the sheer amount of tech companies operating in such a large economy, fighting for the best talent they can find. This is also reflective in topics like no NDA in California fwiw. Employees in Europe are much more married to the job and with fewer tech companies operating, the market innovates less.

GNU make is the only variant that matters.

It's not arcane - you just don't want to learn it. You can write your own system and rediscover all the issues and resolve them if you like.

If you started from understanding make, though, you could do a better job than it has done because you don't have to be compatible.

It's no more complicated than measurements and weights in the imperial system.

We're a weird country. We decimalised our currency, our weights and measures in shops and science, but we can't let go of imperial measures. Amongst the general population, people are far more comfortable talking about miles and miles per hour, than kilometers. Land sizes are still measured in acres and hectares. If you ask anyone their height, you'll probably get an answer in feet and inches, but ask their weight and they're more likely to tell you in kilograms rather than pounds and stone.
