> > The vowels are pronounced like they are in Spanish, Italian, German, and many other languages

> ... ok, this is annoying. Can't speak for Italian and Spanish, but in German vowels are pronounced differently depending on context. Later, it says the 'o' is meant to be pronounced like in "moment". Moment is pronounced differently in American and UK English. And neither are like Italian "momento" or like German "Moment".

I listened all four (UK/US English, German, Italian), and the 'o' in moment sounded the same to me.
I mean, yes and no. But it also gets into "who is it for?" and while you can do things better, eventually you reach a point where its easier to just do it the right way.
Consider two extremes: positions in the next generation's "elite" are randomly selected vs auctioned off. In the latter case, you quickly develop the problem of a parasitic elite who uses that elite power to extract wealth to buy places for their kids in the next generation.

The essential reason America exists was we said "hell no" to a parasitic, hereditary elite, the British "nobility". So I think it's very in keeping with the American experiment to prevent the reemergence of that sort of elite. I'm not sure we should have an elite at all, but to the extent that we do, I think college admissions should absolutely not favor people based on wealth or family ties.
I was about to say; even before I knew markdown, I was using a lot of its conventions informally. I was using # to denote headers, and surrounding things with asterisks to emphasize them, using > to denote quotes. When I found out about markdown, it took me about ten minutes to learn because it was stuff I was largely already doing.
Some of us come from parts of the world where these things simply do not exist. So it is a very, very foreign concept.

So you're good at sports, or some instrument, or whatever. That's nice - but why should it give you an edge over other people when it comes to school admission?

Path of Exile actually is unpleasant to play toward the endgame without specialized stash tabs, which cost money. PoE has possibly the most irritating item/inventory management of any game I've ever seen, and those purchased stash tabs make it tolerable. But the total cost of the mandatory tabs is still somewhat reasonable compared to what you can get out of the game.

In the last 25 years, tens of billions almost all spent chasing the amyloid beta hypothesis, with other theories getting the short end of the stick.

It didn't start changing until outside researchers wrote a major editorial about how bad it was in Nature.

The biggest alternative is the infection hypothesis - amyloid beta is left by our immune reaction to diseases that manage to get into the brain. If that idea had been pursued for 25 years, we might actually know by now what the real connections are with HSV1 (warts), gum disease, and so on.

Exactly. He stiffled the career of many honest scientists by siphoning money and prestige that should rightfully have been directed elsewhere. The damage is done.
Bingo. At this point, you can acquire a better education on most topics through self-directed free routes like that as long as you're motivated. Or for some areas there are things like bootcamps, the best of which teach the actually marketable skills much better than colleges.

I'd argue that college ceased being primarily about education a long time ago. College in my humble opinion is:

• Place to rub shoulders with elites (mostly only applies at Ivies, or at prominent schools within certain niches probably)

• Proving you have sufficient grit and responsibility to endure adversity and get things done - or more accurately, some in society are willing to use it as a decent filter to exclude those who are lazy and unmotivated. Notably, this has a high false-negative rate, meaning lots of hardworking, motivated people don't attend or graduate from college due to money, time, cultural expectations of their social group, etc.

• Least important: A filter to exclude people who apparently can't be taught. Has the same false negative problem, some fall through here because their schooling sucked and they didn't learn how to learn.

Only that first aspect is really related to whether minorities need a boost or legacies need to be brought to an even playing field. Education itself is easy to get at many schools, and is often better than these fancy 'research schools.'
Strangler _Fig_ Application

"Recently I thought of a small tweak that might help things a little. If I rename the post to “Strangler Fig Application”, and use the term “Strangler Fig” as much as possible, then hopefully that would reduce the violent connotation by reinforcing the metaphorical link that is the whole point of the name. Because it's a small change, maybe it will spread enough to be worthwhile, and it's not much effort, so seems worth a try."

I really think there needs to be some deep reexamination of the current way we quanitfy the value of research output in the academic world. I don't have the time or energy to develop a full argument in favor of an alternative replacement, but I'll do my best to share a "cut down" version.

Some of the biggest problems with the current system are:

* Peer Review has its share of problems[1][2][3] that create horrible second order effects, especially among those pursuing PhDs[4]

* Elsevier, Nature, Science/AAAS and others perform rent-seeking behavior to the extent where I think it's worth asking whether they hinder the funding and dissemination of good science more than they help. As a personal aside, I always found it very off-putting that DeepMind regularly publishes in Nature in Science, despite the fact that outside of AlphaFold, their work often has little overlap with the readership that typically frequents these journals.

Personally, I am of the opinion that platforms like Semantic Scholar, arXiv and OpenReview are doing a better job of promoting open and transparent academic research with improved accessibility to both the public and the researchers doing good work.

Given the power of being mentored by great scientists, it makes sense to have filtering processes which concentrate great researchers in a small amount of schools. My point is that if there is too little oversight, these institutions become incentivized to all but encourage bad behavior in order to maintain their image. We need systems which encourage MORE transparency into the process of creating science and MORE accessibility because an important part of scientific research is it's uncertainty.

Tools like arXiv, Semantic Scholar, and OpenReview are all steps in the right direction, and it would be good to promote the useage of these tools outside of their current userbase as I think they provide a system for people to observe science more easily, and for important parts of the research process to be accessed by all.

It's not my favorite feature by any means but linebreaks are almost always an issue: practically all Markdown-ish or wikitext-ish formats don't give significance to single line breaks to allow hard-wrapping the source without affecting its rendering, which doesn't leave you with many "nice" options for actually doing explicit linebreaks when you do want them.

I've seen ones where you put something like a plus at the end of the line, the spaces from Markdown, or something like MediaWiki's format where you just can't do it without falling back to writing in some explicit HTML.
It was workable when there was a real cost associated with reproduction. Everyone knew it was arbitrary social scaffolding, but it was stable enough for society to keep it standing.

Now that scaffold has no real foundation, save for a handful of gigantic corporations holding on as tightly as they can, and punishing anyone who dares contradict them.
This is not the main site (vlang.io). Such claim was never made there. The OP mentioned that it "was on the list of 'features' for a long time".

The HN comment you referenced is from 2019.
I was very anti-GC back then, that's why I didn't want to have a GC, but a model similar to Rust. After playing with GC, I realized it worked really well with V, and offered a better performance.

There's an article about these decisions on V's blog. They can change over years, you know.

If a project leader changes their mind on a technical decision over years and explains the reasons, that doesn't make them a liar.

The end goal is having good performance, flexible memory management, minimal resource usage.

Tangent, I can reliably wake up from nightmares / bad dreams by going "oh that doesn't make any sense, that can't be". There's a moment of the bad dream "trying to adjust" but then it feels like something just gave up.
I don't disagree that this type of transcription leads to good results, and in fact, it's what you should eventually do, but I've found a different approach to transcription that to me is easier, more fun, and more powerful.

Take the song, load it up in transcribe (https://www.seventhstring.com/) or similar software, pick a part. Up to here, this method and yours is the same. But rather than worrying about the exact notes being played, study the context by just singing and playing over the song and seeing what works and what does not.

There's a lot more information than just the notes that were played. So this type of transcription gets you to navigate the same context the musicians were playing in. And as you do it, you'll start hitting the actual notes, and eventually you can close in on them. What's great is that it's fun, playful, musical, and you can do it even with songs that are way out of your level when transcribing note by note or learning from a score.

Using a human language analogy, your suggestion would be to mimic conversations and mine would be to babble in other people's conversations until you become fluent. It's clear in human languages that one is much faster than the other. Sure babies are geared for it, but I think the babbling would work for adults too if they became cute as a baby or puppy, got over themselves, and could shamelessly babble onto other's conversations.

The best book on the matter I've read of how to learn by ear is "The Gift of Music" by Victor Wooten. It's kind of weird in that it's written as a fiction book, but there are definitely music lessons. And if some of them feel too out there, just listen to him play. He's a master, not a stoner pretender.

There's also "Thinking in Jazz", but I am only a fourth or third of the way and so far it's mostly about the historical and cultural background of improvisers. It's not gotten too into the weeds musically speaking.
Same with deer (wolf culling)
On the flip side, as the business owner of a what I'd call an "affordable luxury" product (about $45 for a hand-blown whisky and spirits glass), its also easy to overprice the product.

The most difficult thing is finding the balance and compromise in pricing because some customers will happily pay double the cost, but many won't.

My product is very expensive to make and my margins are not great, but this price gets me the most market saturation in a very important growth stage (business is only 2 years old) while still keeping the business profitable
I beg to differ: this does not sound way worse than it is. If anything, it's understating the issue.

Not only can it be exploited across a wide variety of clients across multiple platforms, but all that's required is that you're using key forwarding.

This is devastating, because it's not just that you control the destination server and steal the keys, but you can take over the user's entire workstation.

Once you've got the user's entire workstation, you potentially have access to everything else they have, from their email, to other SSH hosts, to key loggers, to Git repos. This is about as bad as it gets, and all because someone is using Agent Forwarding.

Best of all, the victim has no idea that they've been completely compromised. They can live inside your machine for years, upgrade their sploits, and generally exfiltrate all of your secrets.

Never use agent forwarding. Just don't. "Agent forwarding should be enabled with caution" in the man page is another massive understatement. Even if you think you need it, check the other responses in this thread for examples of how to work around it.
It's probably a matter of exposure. Would you apply "don't be a dick to people who aren't like you" to cis people? To white people?

It's generally where the friction is at. Some people call it Cultural Marxism because Marxism excuses violence when done by the proletariat against the bourgeois and some leftists excuse violence from "oppressed" identities towards "oppressor" identities.
Sentry’s license change on the fork was a mistake. It has been fixed though: https://github.com/getsentry/rrweb/pull/92

The fork exists as a ‘buffer’ to get some changes (features or bug fixes) out without the need to couple with the npm release of rrweb itself. Sentry engineers have several PRs in upstream rrweb merged and the goal is to increase the upstream contributions and close the gap between our fork and upstream. We’re currently porting our changes from v1 to the v2 branch.

I believe Sentry has made financial contributions to rrweb but directly to a maintainer. I'll let others who know details to comment on this. I'm sure more contributions will be done, as this is very much in the interest of Sentry anyway.

Worth noting, Sentry has been making larger contributions to OSS every year, as the company grows:

2022: https://blog.sentry.io/we-just-gave-260-028-dollars-to-open-...

In addition to that, there are contributions to open source done in the form of code that is, open source, such as the symbolication service: https://github.com/getsentry/symbolicator and many others: https://github.com/getsentry/

>Agent forwarding forwards the keys insecurely. If you can launch an agent-forwarded connection, then the HSM is already irrelevant.

No? ssh-agent works fine with keys that are not exportable from the HSM. By the very definition it's not possible for anything to export the key, ssh-agent or otherwise.

As far as integrations go, for us it's an API that is critical. Our accounting system is Myob Exonet. So old that nothing integrates but it was an API so we can write an ETL process to dump data out of it into a CRM. Our Ecommerce platform is NopCommerce but that's a bit obscure and so heavily customized out of the box integration plugins aren't going to work.

Also $29 per seat per month is an amazing price. But I've noticed something strange with mentioning pricing to upper management.

If I take say Zoho CRM, one we've looked at. The plan we need is $55 AUD per seat per month.
Realistically we're going to have 5 - 10 users of the system so that works out to $3,300 - $6,600 per year.

I can get $6,600 per year for CRM operations approved no problem. But, If I say $600 per user per year management freak out.
It's the same number but there is something about per user that worries upper management.

Now I always just give them the per year 10 user cost and say if we keep under 10 sale and support staff this is the cost.

I don't know if that is unique to my company but if it's not some pricing packages with yearly figures might help sell.
That is true over all SAAS products we use.
This is a straining of the issue with discrimination, which cannot be divorced from its history. Corrected:

It is illegitimate to discriminate on the basis of race to the advantage of those previously, explicitly advantaged by their race. We believe that to be a special kind of uniquely harmful prejudice, one that fractures the deepest structures of society, because part of the country's attempt to uphold this prejudice lead to the single bloodiest war in the country's history.

Affirmative action was upheld for more than a half-century in recognition of these incontrovertible truths, and was only overturned with the rise of a Supreme Court whose partisanship would be unprecedented, if it had not been preceded by the courts that gave us Jim Crow.
