> I don't doubt for a minute that Western media is filled with all kinds of ridiculous apocrypha about Russia. At the same time, I've never encountered this kind of ridiculous sensitivity about a country's perception before.

You won't find many Russian authors vilifying USA habits and culture. Not among popular ones, for sure. Nor the Russian movies. That makes a difference.

When there's a Russian in the US movie, I mentally prepare myself for a cringe. Usually, it would be a unreasonably aggressive person, killer or terrorist, or just a bad person. Drinking vodka like water, beating women, etc, etc.

You'd have hard time finding anything resembling this in Russian books or movies about USA.
For me woodworking is also produced the coolest physical things that I've made. If I had to pick one, I think I would pick the kitchen island that I made.

But I think my favorite moment came from the trim I did in the basement. We have been re-doing a lot of our basement and I did all of the trim that is in there now. There is a transition in floor from carpet to tile right near a corner. Looked kind of like this [0] Lots of angles to make everything match up and tiny cuts to finally get it to match up correctly (made more difficult because of course the wall isn't a true 90 degree angle). Turned out really well and looks seamless, but not something most people would ever notice. But one of my friends who is also an avid home DIYer was in my house saw it and said "dude, that trim is fire!". Felt good to have someone recognize the work that went into it.

You might want to check out my linear algebra book. It has standard LA topics, but also goes into more advanced topics in the last three chapters (e.g. probability theory and modular arithmetic). See extended preview here: https://minireference.com/static/excerpts/noBSLA_v2_preview....

Both books written specifically with adult learners in mind.

Last spring, I had my dad woodwork a large (cabinet door sized?) solid silhouette of Michigan, where I live. I then drilled holes throughout it, ran WS2811 LEDs through the holes, and coded up live temperature data to be shown as a color spectrum. It's a nice piece of wall art!

"your consent" is very misleading, they only get consent from the Zoom account owner. If you join another company's meeting or somebody's webinar or something, they don't ask for your consent, they just inform you and tell you to leave if you don't like it.

My favorite parts about the Original Pronunciation reconstructions of Shakespeare are how many lost puns keep getting discovered, even in the most serious plays, because most of them are quite ribald and directly tosses to the groundlings. It's a fun reminder that Shakespeare was dirtier than people today like to think and that he was never writing strictly for the upper crust and high society (like a lot of today's Shakespeare Companies seem intended for).
Its provides detailed analytics on the popularity of different websites and the keywords that people search for; it goes really, really deep on this, much deeper than you can go through manual google searches and various scripts. You can easily recreate Vercel on your own if you're willing to forgo some convenience, for example; there's no equivalent to that for Ahrefs - you can't realistically 'roll your own' or code your own Ahrefs. The web largely works on an advertising model, and Ahrefs is what tells you what has value for advertising purposes and what people will visit, or are visiting now. If you're doing something simple, it may not matter. If you're not, Ahrefs is indispensable.

I have a solution for this, but I'd need investors to pull it off. Essentially cheap communities of tiny homes and non traditional homes, like using earth bags which also have an insulation effect.

we could also build out a few extra beds per community for free hotel stays when you travel to a place with our network of communities.

Each community would have a huge warehouse to store shareable like cleaning supplies, tools, drills, recreational vehicles, lawnmowers, etc. These all then are loaned out like a library.

How many things do you own that really are used every single day and how many only a few times per year? What if you could use it wherever you wanted but didn't need a place to store it?

We'd also build in some fun things, and if we have enough land we could do glamping sites for extra money for the community.
"Make your passengers more safe, by making your community less safe" is also a not an easy sell, but Americans are paying the big bucks to do it.

Well, there's a reason why it's rare as a phoneme - it's not only more difficult to articulate than more common sounds, but also more difficult to distinguish when you already have a voiceless stop and a voiceless fricative articulated nearby. Many other Germanic languages lost it for the same reason, and the same process is ongoing in Arabic.

The sound by itself is not quite as rare, usually as an allophone of /t/ or /s/ in some contexts where it's easier to articulate.
I've never tried it but does anyone know how C/C++ development is in Xcode?
> Most microkernels are small enough to fit in the L3 cache, some are small enough to fit in the L2 cache. Linux, even if we could exclude the drivers, doesn't even come close. This inability to fully cache the kernel ends up negating the primary benefit that monolithic kernels have, which is performance. Linux spends more time bouncing around the cache than a modern microkernel takes to do an extra syscall.

This makes no sense. The comparison that matters isn't kernel vs microkernel, its kernel vs microkernel plus all the userland code needed to implement system services. If my program wants to read a file and write to the network, then the code to do that has to be brought to the CPU to run before my program can finish doing that, and it doesn't matter whether that is in the kernel or userland.
This would have made sense 12 months or even 9 months ago, but we're now 18 months into a war that Russia's government had otherwise been preparing domestically for. Again: what gives?

This is such a poorly thought out essay I'm surprised to see it here. No citations to previous historians,m thinkers, philosophers, etc. until we get to Marx. And then this beauty:

> The less employers pay out in wages, the fewer consumers there will be for their products. This fundamental contradiction means there is a ticking countdown clock built into the capitalist system of production.

Yeah, because the people who lose their jobs to technology just sit there and never recover? No, luddite, new work is discovered. Technology boosts productivity.

> Top tax brackets were taxed at 95% during this period, which many Americans identify as a Golden Age.

WW2 had to be paid for. Let's avoid that again. There was a long period when we had little to no Federal income tax.

> The monetization of this debt, euphemistically referred to as “Quantitative Easing”, has been going on ever since

No it has stopped.

I love that the premise of this essay is in 100BC Rome had wealth inequality and it collapsed 500 years later. Yeah, imminent.

> The central idea behind this System Failure newsletter is that we could have the kind of revolution were there is dancing in the streets and the cafes are open all night.

Yeah, so romantic. You mean the kind where millions of people suffer.

This essay, I can't believe it, was written but a human adult. This would be C level work in a Sophomore high school class. This person really needs to read a lot more philosophy and history and maybe layoff the Marx as clairvoyant thing. Especially when his main thing was shown empirically to be completely wrong.
Yay, the diagram of F#, C#, and VB .net. Because C++/CLI does not exist.
I don't quite follow the algorithm here, but I'm not sure the `gensym` Rust implementation works as expected. `RefCell::clone` does not return a copy of the reference; it returns a new `RefCell` with the current `RefCell`'s value, resulting in duplicate IDs. However, a `RefCell` isn't even necessary here, since a `Cell` would do just fine - and you'd pass around a reference to that `Cell` instead of cloning it.

It does feel like the code was ported as-is to Rust, and only adjusted slightly to compile; there are going to be pain points as a result of this process. I suspect this is the source of some of the author's complaints, especially given:

> Although it provides us with a greater sense of how the code is executing, it brings very little value to the algorithm itself.

Rust is, in general, for people who find value in having that information; it is okay to not want to have to worry about ownership, borrowing, safety, etc., but it seems a bit odd to complain about this when that's what Rust is for? If you want to focus on just the algorithm, and not how it's executing, then OCaml is definitely a valid choice.

However, the point about GADTs - can Rust's recently-stabilized GATs not work in the same way? Though I will admit that Rust's GATs don't seem nearly as powerful as OCaml's GADTs in this regard.

So if we start with your premise, the attack I can see being a concern is being able to deny people access to Worldcoin and burning their accounts/tokens by maliciously attacking an orb. If keys can be revoked because of illicit usage, someone could generate a key at the orb they wish to attack and act maliciously. Sybil attack, or attempt fraudulent transactions, or whatever behavior triggers burning all the keys tied to an orb. Do this before an election (if worldcoin is used for voting) or before the UBI is dispersed for the month and you could disrupt a lot.

How does Worldcoin provably know that an attacker is not using a dead person’s keys?

I ask because the zoom administrative interface is an absolute nightmare that feels more like a bunch of darkpatterns than usable UX. When I asked your customer support team – on this occasion and others – they clearly don't even read the request, let alone provide a sufficient response. I've been going back-and-forth on a related issue with your CSRs for almost two months; they've neither escalated nor solved my problem.

The bottom line is that as a paying customer, you're incentivizing me and others to move to different services – namely because you seem to be entangled by your own bureaucracy and lack of values than any outside problem.
It's been a while, but isn't that V2? ISTR that V1 is the commit speed: above that point you have to take off since there isn't enough runway to abort.
Whenever someone cites the fact that there are millions of vacant homes across the US as evidence of either oversupply or an inequitable distribution, they're almost always misunderstanding that real estate has a "natural vacancy rate" of ~6%.

With real estate, there is inherently time in which it lays empty between tenants moving in and out or being sold. When a place like California has over a million of vacant homes, that still makes for a vacancy rate below the "natural vacancy rate"!

The other big category of vacant housing is in places that are depopulating due to lack of jobs. We could be giving decaying homes in the Rust Belt, but they'd be more of a liability to the new owner than anything else.

Are your software milestones constantly changing?
I work at a very large organization, and it feels like the organization keeps cycling through terminology to discuss software features and milestones! Is this normal or dysfunctional?

We break down the larger product roadmap into epics, and then after a month or two the initiative name changes, and then we tweak the names of the epics, and then another month later the initiative name has been changed back to something similar, and it just goes in circles!

a <- 4 // Assignment, valid

This is a compiler error because you haven't made your variable mutable.

Also, I actually like that initial assignment and equality testing both use =. I think of `let a = 1` to be less like assignment and more like `Assume that a = 1 is true`, so using the same operator (e.g. `a = 3`) makes sense for comparisons.

And `<-` as a separate operator is good because mutability should be exceptional for many (most?) codebases.

pretty much this. Compared to even as recently as 140 years ago when the British empire was powerful, there are no empires vying for territory , unlike 400 + years ago, when there were at least a dozen empires and they all had a shot. Russia is having a hard time taking over territory, and China is much more isolationist compared to past empires.
1] never nag some one to do something, while also expecting them to abandon doing something that was previously nagged about.

For a lot of people living among poor infrastructure, these kinds of cars are the most practical available for the lives they lead.

I'm not a huge car apologist, but I believe (especially on HN) there is a bias towards seeing the problem only through the lens of urban or suburban life. Meaningful solutions won't occur by leaving rural America behind or minimizing their issues.
Also, Russian manufacturing may have other urgent priorities right now. Wars (fought outside of the homeland) may be good for employment and industrialization broadly, but they often are the opposite for application of industry to civilian ends.
I wanted to know if the author has any credentials that might support an otherwise unsourced thesis about civilization.

Accountant, developer for a few years, now bills himself as a “staff writer” on his own Substack.

I browsed the titles of his Substack. At one point he offhandedly asserts that Gloria Steinem was a CIA spook who had a role in undoing the New Deal. He asserts that the thesis of his blog is that we have become entrapped in debt by suppressing the truth of hallucinogens. To support his thesis he touches on everything from “the eternal feminine” to early Christianity to the Knights Templar to Karl Marx.

>Julian Evans isn't obligated to welcome people who wish her harm

Indeed. I take issue though with assuming a person arguing that "grope" has meanings other than sexual assault wish her harm. That's a stretch, to say the least. It's certainly uncharitable and, in my view, chilling to open conversation. Moreover I think it weakens the idea of "wishing someone harm" by broadening it so widely that it becomes almost meaningless.

There is a game I invented called "Take it Personal" in which one player says anodyne things to the other and the other player has to take it personally and get offended, or they lose the point. It's a terrible game that I don't recommend. It's a game that everyone on the internet seems to enjoy playing, and in fact take pride in playing it and assert that anyone not playing it is a bad person.

Remarkable.
