I mean if you want to get real crazy speculative, my personal philosophy assumes that the universe is on a loop and at some point in every loop, some version of that universes intelligent system figures out how to build the Daemon and that kicks off the next loop.
> It’s as if the inequality of income and wealth is mirrored in a general inequality of status, where only a few people and institutions matter and everyone else is left to watch the glitterati from the cheap seats.

The author almost gets the point -- and even mentions the substantive reason people care in this sentence -- but then veers off a cliff in the last half of the sentence.

Huge portions of our economy are winner-take-all, with a very small number of winners. And the organizations that win are also increasingly winner-take-all.

The obsession with access to elite institutions makes more sense if you re-write these two sentences:

> We’re obsessed with high-status winner-take-all jobs. Our economy is dominated by superstar companies.

like this:

> We’re obsessed with high-status winner-take-all jobs BECAUSE our economy is dominated by superstar companies.

Is is that people are obsessed with status? Or is that people feel their basic needs -- housing, food, a sense of worth -- are at risk as long as they're not on top? And if they feel that way, are they wrong?

If you want to know why people are obsessed with becoming an Elon Musk, then look at how the man talks about his employees at Twitter. If the world is full of leaders who will stomp on you and lemmings who get stomped out, then you better try to claw your way as high as you can.
And as multiple previous sequences of events have made clear, attempting to apply obnoxious monetisation strategies to a Sun-inherited project with a substantial userbase tends to mostly be a really good way to get it forked out from under you.

Ask HN: Why not make a 3D word processor work like a real-time strategy game?
The idea is to edit a 2D document via a 3D real-time strategy game by deploying various units to work on different aspects of the document.

The terrain would represent the 2D document while various 3D units would work on the terrain to write the document.

Some of the units could be bots (e.g., an AI bot to update the introduction in real-time as the rest of the document changes, etc.) while other units could be your human collaborators.

Units could work on the document concurrently in real-time and a 3D view would show them working much as they would in a real-time strategy game.
Red Hat may release spec files to conform to the requirement that source code includes "scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable."

Note that this particular requirement got a fair amount of attention in 2011 when Red Hat changed its kernel source releases and stopped breaking out patches. (Here: https://lwn.net/Articles/430098/)

I guess if learning a trade could guarantee the kids a future (or at least make it look like guaranteed) I bet many people would go that way without any need for extra nudges. Picking up the trade of your parents was earlier a pretty fine plan in life. But today we are where we are and political influence seems like the only safe bet... "bet" because learning to gamble it is.
> I hope you see that my analysis — while it may be unorthodox - is evenhanded. I condemn Russia for its funding and arming of terrorists in Donbas (Strelkov, Motorola, etc.).

Why don't you mention in this sentence that both Strelkov and Motorola are Russian and that Strelkov is an FSB officer?.

It also less arming terrorists and more an invasion, the 'little green men' narrative _is_ propaganda. It was largely just literal Russian soldiers in Donbas.

> I understand that each side reacts to the other and it’s SHEER FANTASY to expect either Russia or China or Brazil etc. to roll over and allow a roadmap where its enemies to place nukes on their doorstep.

No one wants to place nukes in Ukraine. This is a false narrative designed to try and disguise Ukraines want to be in NATO as anything other than Ukraine wanting protection from the country that has so far invaded them at least twice.
While I agree it doesn’t matter much 1-2 jobs into your career, Ivies are really good at getting you through that first door. I wouldn’t be surprised if that MIT degree got someone to their first technical screen at Google, or gave them the right resources they needed to pass the interview.

Anyone into webgl/3d programming would have been mind blown by demoscene.

I had read about perlin noise but never truly appreciated it until I saw some of the demoscene demos.

Everything - the music, the landscape, trees, cameras, buildings - all procedurally generated. Code is maximally reused.

Made me think, perhaps the brain is also doing that. Just storing symbols and rough descriptions, enough to recognize it again and reason/imagine the world. But high compressed lossy model of the world. Perhaps the brain is just a few gigabytes of memory to restore someone’s consciousness. May be less.

demoscene does that to you.
It's obvious even from the facts that we already have: long before he claimed to hire young people for being "inspirational," he'd already tried to recruit plenty of older, experienced men, and only rejected (or, more accurately, was rejected by) the ones who told him he was going to kill someone.

On the other hand, when a project tries to please everybody it will undoubtedly regress into a mess of options, toggles, extra buttons, have an atrocious UX and only be usable for the 'in crowd'.

The few OSS tools I know to not have a terrible UX are tools built by a single author or a small team with a coherent vision. It's definitely a place where the bazaar model of software development doesn't seem to work as wonderful as with OS kernels or development tools.
I was agreeing with zug_zug's point: "The idea that the human body has the formula for immortality 99% right an it just 'forgot to make enough of protein X which has no downsides seems hopelessly naive [...]"

That was specifically what I was calling foolish. That is what my metaphor was referring to.

You leapt into say, "There's nothing foolish about it at all", suggesting that the ”anti-ageing by chemical cocktails” approach was in fact reasonable.

You from there went on to make a different car analogy, one I also think hopelessly naive. But if even you don't support the magic chemicals option, then again, it looks like you didn't really read what you were replying to, just in a different way.
I develop my company front end in Vue 3 and as much as I love Vue I'm constantly looking over at React with a bit of jealousy.

There is massive value in being the most popular framework. Even if it's not as nice as the other ones just the pure scale and quality of the 3rd party packages, plug and play integrations, component libraries, support posts, etc... that stuff really matters when it's your day job.

One big one that's burned me is a lack of (well supported) Vue SSR integration in Ruby on Rails.

I'd personally just stick to Next.
University affiliation is a lagging indicator.

At least in my friend group (mostly White, Asian, and Latiné who attended the Top 50 ranked US News schools), most of us already knew each other via competitive high school extracurriculars (eg. Debate, Sports, DECA, MUN, Science Olympiads, Quiz Bowl, SAT Bootcamp, Intel Science Fair, Cyberpatriot, etc) and because we all attended the same 200-300 high schools nationally, did the same 5-7 majors, and are working in the same 3-4 industries.

Flagship Public Schools are becoming elite as well now that they are becoming much more selective, as well as the fact that STEM is increasingly valued outside the STEM industry (eg. PE/IB loves hire CS and Applied Math grads from target schools due to their analytical background)

Y'all boomers are arguing over a tree while ignoring the forest.
So, the alternative is what? Start lobbying to force Euorpean, an other, governments to exclusively use SpaceX because they are so cool?

And I don't know, maybe we should wait until Ariane 6 had its first launches, while also cutting them the same slack for failed early launches SpaceX gets?
Depends exactly how you define software, but most of the N1 failures were caused or exacerbated by bad behaviour by the control system. A few early Proton failures were also caused by control system failure, and then of course there was the Mars Climate Orbiter...
> Google Docs uses its own layouting system for its editor---which means, it doesn’t use browser’s contenteditable API

Ah!, so that's the reason why copy-paste is badly broken in google docs (and jupyter notebooks as well)? Now I understand the reason. It's because they didn't reimplement it again.

I can copy-paste between all my windows and firefox tabs, except google docs and jupyter notebooks. This is because the selection that they show it's not an actual text selection that the system understands, but just a hand-drawn color rectangle around the text. It's a fake selection, of sorts!

My point is very simple: Attitudes (among politicians) toward the surveillance state do not seem to split along political lines between left and right. I wish they did.

Also, I completely disagree that the world has mostly been moving away from authoritarianism. On the contrary. There was a time when at least the direction of travel seemed assured. Now I'm no longer so sure.

[Edit] Just so you know where I'm coming from. As someone who would never remotely associate himself with anything "conservative", I wish I could just blame conservatism or right wing authoritarians for this surveillance drive. But I can't honestly do that, and I have to accept that it is not just a right wing idea historically.
Ah, good point. I'm in Earth sciences. 3 papers before PhD is reasonable here, just not a formal university requirement.

What tools are you using to accomplish this? Can’t be terraform
And every time you use something custom, you end up breaking things for users you can't even imagine. Even when you think you have all the edge case covered.

Like I use a custom DefaultKeyBinding.dict for my laptop using which I've defined some shortcuts for text editing. It works with Textarea but not for GDocs. Which makes editing so cumbersome for me.

I've always wondered why this was the issue until I read this article. Now I see why it's broken.
There would have been NO road blocks for extending the lifetime. Westinghouse offered fuel rods which would have been delivered in time.

They had all the normal maintenance (every 2 years) and were in pristine condition, much better than most other nuclear reactors on this planet. Only the 10 year interval was pushed out, but it's just an additional check to further increase safety over the long term. No downtime would have been required, especially no multi-year downtime.

The previous government did not know that Russia was to attack Ukraine and gas flow was about to stop with all the effects on energy availability and prices.

That depends on where the batteries are located. In this case they are on the other side of the pressure hull. You then get to decide if you want your transfer switch to sit on this side or the other and how you get to pass the signal to switch over from the one to the other (maybe you could automate that). In a design such as this one nothing is really simple and even a silly switch or relay can add quite a bit of complexity. The pressures you are dealing with are immense, it's not as if you're going to run an extra wire with a grommet through the pressure hull on a moments notice. If the cable duct has already been sealed then you're out of luck unless you added spare wiring and even that isn't trivial with this much pressure on the other side of it.

Most rockets have used flame diverters. Because it is common sense that you do not want to spew debris and hot gasses in all directions (including towards your nearby fuel tanks). It is a well studied problem(1). Even tiny rockets like Electron have flame diverters (2). SpaceX decided that on the largest rocket ever they will do none of it. Zilch. Just let the exhaust hit the concrete pavement at supersonic speeds head on. The result was predictable and predicted, the rocket became a sonic drilling machine. What we didn't predict was just how far debris would fly. If they built a flame diverter of any kind they could have, get this, divert the exhaust in a direction that would not have caused issues, like towards the sea.

And yes, easily, compared to other rockets. Excavation is hard for their location because of the water table. And an artificial hill takes time to settle. But they probably don't need either because they don't roll (or roll and erect) the rocket to the launchpad, they lift and place it. They just need the diverter itself. Meaning it should be easier than for any other large rocket.

For the Kennedy Space Center launchpad the plan apparently already was to use a water cooled diverter (3) (4). But for Boca Chica they just didn't bother, even after the static fire tests already created problems. It is implausible that they didn't know it would be a bad idea to launch the way they did. But who cares if we damage stuff, right?

They were just not moving fast enough and breaking enough things.

> I would want to know more about what they did at Google than at MIT.

Yes but for many the reason they were at Google was because of the MIT degree. So not only do you get a great education, but then you go on to do solid work (hopefully) and get good experience. It's acceleration on ROI of the degree.

This is great but it's missing one thing: having to apply for funding each year (time consuming!) with the statistical expectation of not receiving it. Then having to TA to help towards making-up the difference (it does not).

Then, spend egregious amounts of time each year filling out expense reports for conferences you attended. Also, take-up more part time work because it takes 4-6 months for the reports to get processed and you need to pay off your credit cards.
Yeah. For many of the same reasons. Schools want to be able to market “all of our professors are ivy-league grads”

I would still very incorrect though. You are discussing how lies are told in a medium insisting that it’s harder in a book, I argue that it’s easier as some people (you for one) have a bias that printer books carry an additional authority over say a TV shoe or podcast.

What's "news"? I mean they're right, but all "content" generated in the name of "engagement" is bad for your mental health. If it's labeled as news or friend/influencer updates, it's the same.
During the yellow vest protests, I was lurking in groups where rioters planned their actions. A lot was also organized in plain sight in the comments of websites like demosphere.

And I guarantee that they didn't care at all about what the protests were about. They were just looking for random protests to join. Adrenaline is what they were after.

I mean that for all problem domains where the former is a solution the latter isn't, sorry if that wasn't clear.

Where Lambda bit us is when you need to have compute for longer than 15 minutes which happens when processing large documents. You can split the individual operations on whatever your atomic unit of thing is (eg pages) but the split/merge steps are what kills you. The moment you have to step out of all Lambda the simplicity breaks down and making serverfull/serveless work together is more complex than just going all serverfull.

The other painfully annoying thing is when you need state and storage (ie websockets) but maybe that's better now. I know for sure that EFS is still painful.

In discussion the authors say "Moreover, we want to emphasize the likely sample bias in our data. We recruited participants mainly via mailing lists and our project therefore probably has especially appealed to people who are already interested in health or aware of mental health issues."

I would counter that it may go in the other direction too. The other group of people who have little interest in the topic of mental health are those who are already doing really well. It's a non-problem for them, so why would they engage?

Clones can develop their own features and go their own way. I don't think calling something a clone is necessarily rude.

At some point it will be significantly different that it probably shouldn't be called a clone though, but if it currently has the same name as a feature in a pre-existing, popular software, "clone" seems like the right word.

I imagine whomever built "bottles" (the clone, not the Crossover feature), probably used code, or at least was inspired by code, that CodeWeavers upstreamed to Wine.
