Strange that neither the journalist or the Times folks reference the BBC show "Only Connect"[1] which has had this game for years. That show, BTW, is highly recommended if you haven't seen it. Their pitch is that it is "Deliciously devious and maddeningly abstract"!

Sadly it's a bit like game development. Pilots love to fly, that's why they went through all the time and effort to qualify and unfortunately, the corporations that hire them know and abuse that fact.
There were other multi-ethnic, multi-religious empires in the past that treated all citizens or subjects equally. Rome, the Mongols, and the Achaemenids left their constituent peoples to govern themselves as long as they paid taxes and remained peaceful. Rome even made everyone a citizen by the 3rd century or something (can't be bothered to look it up right now).

As for inherited nobility...that's just how things have been done for most of human history. The Americas were able to start over without that baggage.

They were a lot more popular in the 90s and early aughts when Linux was still new and people were looking for community. I usually would find out about them through local Linux User Groups (LUGs) at the time [1].

I remember a Linuxfest in 2002 in Southern Ohio (not OLF) and John "Maddog" Hall was also a keynote speaker. Looking at his speaking schedule is probably a good way to find similar events. My most distinct memory of it was someone had a table of NeXT computers setup to use.

Along with OLF, SCaLE (Southern California Linux Expo) [2] is another large Linuxfest type event. Much more of a technical and casual vibe, and satisfies personally instead if professionally. I did a GPG key signing party at it once and it was a nerdy and fun as it sounds.

Self-driving cars are just a dream.

It will just not happen as long as self-driving cars and humans share the same roads. AI will never be better at avoiding a playing child who accidentally stepped on the road as an average human driver.

If we want self-driving cars to become a reality, we should instead make separate roads, and let the drive there. Some analogue to railroads, that are used exclusively by trains.
The question is about average driving. Would you be okay with self driving cars on the streets that drive at the level of videos posted in IdiotsInCars?
I think you're right. And I think given that Bing had a slight bump but then went back down[0] is going to make Google question whether or not they want to release SGE[1] fully to everyone.

This is unintuitive, but modern fortran is a shorter jump from Matlab than Python.

The greatness and wretchedness of Python is "pythonicity". It's very hard to miss the mark with Python (all things considered: life is finite, most people are more like analysts than developers, analysts deliver generally more value per hour than developers, Rust is hard to learn) but you basically need to submit to the "Pythonic" brainwashing -- which includes "anything performance-critical should be written in $fast_lang and then used from Python; but almost nothing is perf critical, and most of what's conceivably needed already exists".
It just does a pretty good job of dealing with binary files in general. The check in/check out model is perfect for unmergeable files; you can purge old revisions; all the metadata is server side, so you only pay for the files you get; partial gets are well supported. And so, if you're going to maintain a set of tools that everybody is going to use to build your project, the Perforce depot is the obvious place to put them. Your project's source code is already there!

(There are various good reasons why you might not! But "because binary files shouldn't go in version control" is not one of them)
If you live in the United States take a look at https://www.loc.gov/nls/ They offer a decent number of books and provide easy to use devices to play them.

Audible is also accessible with screen readers. Using screen readers the Kindle app on iOS and Android is also accessible.
I was positively surpised by Community Notes. That's until I witnessed a correct, factual note, removed from a @NATO_ACT tweet[0].

The removal was probably due to brigading of the "Not Helpful" feedback button, but for how good the Notes concept is, it doesn't take into account such a common opinion manipulation strategy.

Wikipedia is facing similar issues, and I see the same happen with the flagging feature on HN.

Just me personally, but I have significantly more trouble getting up early than staying up late. My family obligations end around 10pm (my toddlers are night owls too) I naturally arise at 8am, and I would spend 30-45 minutes trying to go to sleep 90 minutes earlier and wake up at 6:30 instead. It’s over an hour if I try and wake up at 5 and I am likely to sleep through my alarm. I tried this for weeks and it did not improve.

By contrast, staying up to 12-1am is effortless and I get a solid 2-3 hours of independent time to catch up on work or learn

If you were just trying to make that point, your previous comment comes across as a snarky leading question. From the HN guidelines:

In any case, it doesn't seem fair to frame it the way you did. If a high-earning engineer spends 5-10 years in the US to build wealth before returning to Europe to work at a 250k€ job for 7 more years before finally retiring, they'll still have contributed more in income taxes and social contributions in their home country during those 7 years than the median employee during their lifetime. At the same time, they will receive much lower state pensions since they only contributed for 7 years, and they will never take advantage of the unemployment benefits they contributed to.

This is ignoring other contributions such as VAT on their personal consumption (which will likely be higher than average) and on the consumption of their relatives they may support. There's also the non-negligible aspect of bringing highly specialized knowledge and expertise back to their home country, which may increase the country's productivity by second order effects.

Finally, at least in the two European countries I'm familiar with, Switzerland and Germany, you'll still have to pay monthly premiums for the "free health care" until retirement age.
I do not call this is cheating. but this is a crazy advantage of children. some kids never learned learning is important, parents can let deep in their mind. teachers have some chance, but there are too many kids in classroom.
Yes, I lead the development of these two compilers:

LPython compiles Python at the Fortran speed, since both compilers share the same internals.
Hi, I came here to tell the exact opposite, so I guess this is a good idea to do this as an answer to your comment. I feel like death is what makes life beautiful and precious. Because if you have an infinite amount of something, this is really not precious at all, is it? This is actually a central theme is Buddhist mythology: the realm of humans is seen as the most worthy place to be born, because it is mortality that gives one the possibility to understand and practice the teachings of the buddha. There are higher realms, where beings live many eons and with very little suffering - nice for the time it lasts, but it makes them unable to really understand the preciousness of live, and ends in bad karma and rebirth in a lower realm.

Knowing my life is finite is what makes me cherish beautiful moments. This actually often a consequence of fatal diagnoses: I could for instance observe how my father in law inceeased his interest in my children pretty much overnight after he was given one year to live by an oncologist.

There are meditation techniques focused on the awareness of death, and they can be very liberating: my favorite is called "the 9 contemplations of Atisa", if you want to look it up. I personally added a few contemplations to it, to take into account the secular setup in which we live: I find it extremely helpful to ponder the fact that we do not, and will likely never, be able to know what death is and what is the nature of consciousness. Maybe it is the end of everything, but maybe it is also the reunion with the great everything, or I will be reborn as a butterfly.

I also find the "charnel grounds" meditation to be very freeing, but some people do freak out there, so take your time.
The hacker news demographic is getting older and starting to worry about mortality and health?

I started reading hacker news in 2009 according to my profile. I'd have been coming up to 40 years old then - I'm now early 50's failing health, aged parents and siblings are now becoming bigger concerns.

When thinking of the real value of Twitter, I end up thinking about how it seemed when it was first on the scene. For a short while, users as a group were using it "correctly" (or maybe "usefully," or "sanely"): reporters found it to be a great way to get breaking stories out in the public sphere. I remember what for me remains "peak" Twitter- following a favorite investigative journalist who happened to be near ground zero of a hunt for a dangerous criminal. He gave up-to-the-minute updates that read like the best crime fiction. When the guy was apprehended, the nation uttered a sigh of relief that one could feel, and Twitter made me feel like I was if not on the scene, at least had an incredibly candid perspective on it.

The worst I've ever seen from Twitter is our attempts to have a "global conversation" about nothing. It's like the erratic chatter at the end of a party when we all have to start contemplating our real lives, start begging people for rides or if we're needy, squeezing a little more ego stroking before the sun rises. It's depressing, moody and manipulative and feels dirty and gritty like tired smoke-irritated eyes. It and Threads can both go away and I'd be perfectly happy.
So now instead of debugging database performance issues you also have to debug the third party database orchestration middleware and the Kubernetes cluster workloads.

Check out https://github.com/sstadick/hck and https://github.com/theryangeary/choose - both are alternatives for cut/awk and allows regex based split as well. Though, they don't remove starting/ending whitespaces IIRC.

I wrote a script (https://github.com/learnbyexample/regexp-cut) that uses `awk` to provide a `cut`-like tool with regex-based split, negative index, etc. And this will take care of starting/ending whitespaces as that's the default `awk` behavior.

> This is just my anecdotal observations, but I've seen that military veterans are extremely adept at gaming the system to their benefit. They are able to maximize disability benefits as well as GI Bill benefits. I've known and worked with multiple veterans and each one of them gamed these systems to maximum benefit.

"gamed" is a very loaded term that suggests something untoward is happening as opposed to people just trying to get the benefits they're entitled to as Veterans. Do you have any evidence that the people you've observed are doing something shady or do you just think they're getting more than they deserve?

But what do you do as soon as one of the submodules has a dependency on another? I imagine you might not hit it in your simple case, but I feel like scenarios like that are where the advantages of monorepos lie.

To take a concrete example, I'm working on a codebase that houses both a Node.js server-side application and an Electron app that communicates with it (using tRPC [0]). The Electron app can directly import the API router types from the Node app, thus gaining full type safety, and whenever the backend API is changed the Electron app can be updated at the same time (or type checks in CI will fail).

If this weren't in a monorepo, you would need to first update the Node app, then pick up those changes in the Electron app. This becomes risky in the presence of automated deployment, because, if the Node app's changes accidentally introduced a breaking API change, the Electron app is now broken until the changes are picked up. In a monorepo you'd spot this scenario right away. (Mind you, there is still the issue of updating the built Electron app on the users' machines, but the point remains - you can easily imagine a JS SPA or some other downstream dependency in its place.)

> In the absence of IDE features, you also can't differentiate between a function taking a pointer and a const pointer.

So? It still helps me with decoding `foo(bar, baz)`, as without the `&` I KNOW that bar and baz would not change after the call. And since both bar and baz are in the local scope, I already know whether they are pointers or not.

With pointers, all the information necessary to determine if bar and baz would change after a call to foo is in the local scope. With references that information is elsewhere.

Nobody would re-implement TLS in a garbage collected language, at least if they planned to use it. There are libraries for that. And who kn their right mind would implement PDF parsing themselves? The more I familiarise myself with the PDF format the happier I am with the libraries that exist.

I did write a web app that served a couple of hundred people with information, chats and live updates at a conference a friend was hosting. It was written in guile and made heavy use of delimited continuations which is probably my favourite way of handling state on the web. The main logic was less than 2000 lines, so it was by no means a large project.

In previous employment (as a software engineer), I've been told to do this too - mainly around inventions we were trying to patent. The reason is slightly less nefarious than you might think - for example, someone might casually say that some aspect of their patent is "obvious" but they're saying that as an expert in their field who may have spent months or years thinking about the problem and alternative solutions. However, if it came to court, "even the inventor said this was obvious" is a pretty hard thing to respond to.
Funny you should say that, because I managed a water show in Macau. The 17 million liter, 10m deep pool had hydraulically actuated lifts in it, and we went from normal hydraulic fluid to vegetable oil for leak and contamination issues. The vegetable oil hydraulic fluid had issues, so we switched to a PEG-based fluid. Toxicity reports were great. I had over 400 technical dives in the pool servicing equipment. When we switched over, the performers were concerned about the PEG-based fluid. Some claimed they had a rash after a small leak (5 gallons in a 5m gallon pool). Others joined in on the fear and I had to address the technicalities to a mostly lay audience. I asked them to check their body moisturizers and hair conditioners they all used before and after each show. One of the top half of the ingredients were PEGs. I am not saying someone couldn't have a sensitivity to PEGs, but in this case it seemed like fear over rationality when they were putting more ppm of PEG on their bodies via their care products than they could have been exposed to in the pool.
Frankly, this is a luxury Western Europe enjoys solely because of their alliances with the United States. The Soviet Union would have continued to push westward had the United States and the NATO alliance not held them in check with the threat of superior military might.

The human behind the wheel should always be the one liable unless it can be shown that the human attempted to take corrective action and the system for some reason overrode the human or wouldn't allow the correction and "forced" the accident.

Another commenter also made a very good point: you've gotta let off the gas a bit. If everyone is going flat out, the surrounding pressures will cause people to prioritize being responsive to those pressures.

But that requires a fundamental change in organizational productivity culture and means this kind of policy probably needs to be implemented -- and critically, measured -- at the corporate level so people collectively recognize that learning time is sacrosanct.

Not sure what other regions are like, but i believe this is more necessary the less children receive adequate attention in the school setting. Ie overfilled schools warrant more individual time outside of school.

Without "help with homework", the child may have gotten no individual instruction/teaching, so how are they expected to learn?

Even beyond that though there's the possibility of needing more and/or unique care. Parents are the end-of-the-road for ensuring that they raise a capable, educated human. Some children just struggle in standard school settings.
