Math is a human construct to describe inherent parts of the universe (among other things).

The universe is compatible with math not because the math is part of it, but because the universe is what math was invented to describe. Most fundamentally, relationships between related structures and sizes. Obviously the universe is full of those since an order does emanate in ours. So aliens probably also have math and even discovering the same relationships etc but that still won't make math an inherent part of the universe to me. The universe doesn't care for math, it just is. Intelligent beings want to describe and discuss it though so we keep inventing math in order to do so and speak a common language.

Personally I find this very simple and not controversial at all. Math was simply invented as a system for us to teach and jot down things so that we don't lose knowledge across generations or for example colleagues.
Honestly if I had all those hoops to jump through I'd go and work somewhere else.
> To me, a good cover letter is about being actually motivated to apply to a specific job and then simply explaining why.

Money. I want money. That's the reason I am applying to your job offer. I found a job offer that meets my skillset and I applied to it because I want an income.

But this isn't what you expect me to write, is it? You want something more, so I'm going to bullshit you so I can get the job that will allow me to get money
Am I the only one who is not maintaining some kind of private Github repo? I am doing this job for the money and not the "coding fun". If I had the urge to code more, I would just do more hours in my regular job and get paid for that.
Hmm… it’s interesting, the reaction I got to this personal anecdote.

It is what it is. This chap exists, and I talk to him, almost every day. He has a great deal of enthusiasm, and does interesting work. I am sure his approach is quite common, in the HN crowd.

My friend is not your typical DJI customer, and his approach is no threat to them. People like him have always been around. It’s like people that mod cars. They don’t threaten the mainstream.

But the reaction seems to have been quite defensive.

> "If we had met five years ago, you wouldn't have found a more staunch defender of the newspaper industry than me ... And then I wrote some stories that made me realize how sadly misplaced my bliss had been. The reason I'd enjoyed such smooth sailing for so long hadn't been, as I'd assumed, because I was careful and diligent and good at my job ... The truth was that, in all those years, I hadn't written anything important enough to suppress."

> Webb's ex-wife, Susan Bell, told reporters that she believed Webb had died by suicide. "The way he was acting it would be hard for me to believe it was anything but suicide," she said. According to Bell, Webb had been unhappy for some time over his inability to get a job at another major newspaper. He had sold his house the week before his death because he was unable to afford the mortgage.

So he was killed indirectly; not a distinction I personally care about. Unless you are investigating state crimes yourself, I wouldn't throw popcorn from the cheap seats.

In the current market you reliably can do both. Nobody in software can deny the importance of open source software, if only for learning or training. Without FOSS, there would only be stagnation.

You can even develop commercial software and still support FOSS. This isn't some think the kids of the 90s do. Most new open source projects are created by younger developers.

I accept your point that good mobile data is not universal.

But for those who have a personal mobile device and poor mobile data, an actual email client would likely be a good choice.

An actual email client uses much less data than webmail. For example the gmail webpage loads around 10MB just to show the web page, before any actual email content.

Also an email client functions with an intermittent network, only actual sending/receiving requires a data connection. Existing emails are accessed using the local mailbox, and outgoing emails are queued until the network becomes available. A webmail system provides no functionality in the absence of network data.

I actually agree with this: I think several of our questions could be improved and made more specific. On the other hand, we do want them to be somewhat open-ended so the writer has to think and can put their best foot forward (or not). I don't write these questions, but I'll try to provide some feedback to those who do.

This is a classical example of what happens when people give up on rigour:

TL;DR: They started producing false results.

Note that this was not about capital-F Foundations of Mathematics like (arguably) the foundational crisis of math that had its origins in the 19th century, but rather about lowercase-f foundations of a particular field, in this case algebraic geometry.

Weil's foundations of AG in the eponymous 1946 book were horrible and messy but they solved the issue (even today there are a lot of celebrated results that can only be found as expressed in Weil's language) and later in the 1960s Grothendieck provided the elegant language of schemes in which people generally learn and research AG today, and which helped prove long-standing problems like the Weil conjectures and (to some degree) FLT. Category theory was, in this case, essential to proving theorems about "real mathematical content" like numbers and points.

SIP is a feature that protects you from malicious actors with root (admin) access on your device. After they've encrypted your photos and drives and changed your passwords, it prevents them from making your machine unbootable by deleting or altering system binaries. As a side effect of this protection, you give up certain freedoms to customize your system.

For instance requires SIP to be disabled.
Nature is not a model of morality though. It's a pretty linear system that offers very few choices that don't lead to death. We constructed a society where there are many more choices other than death, and in doing so defined a moral system.
> Instead - I think about how whatever I do in the next ten years is it. This is my last productive decade.

Perhaps I am too young, but I rather imagine myself to be completely different when I become old: the older I get, the more risk-affine I'll become since if something goes insanely wrong, I will have less years in which I have to bear the bad consequences.

To the present day, this describes my life quite well: the older I got, the more risk-affine I became.
The alternative is to use a performant file sharing system through the VM isolation. Some people use NFS, I personally use VMware Fusion + vmhgfs.

But they do it within, often, quite tight regulation on game mechanics. People compare loot boxes to slot machines, but often loot boxes are allowed to be much more manipulative than would be allowed for a casino slot machine in many jurisdictions. For example, slots can juice the number of near misses (two cherries, and the third reel has a cherry that's just offcenter), compared to what would arise naturally if the reels were independent. But they might not be allowed to vastly increase the likelihood of near misses just as the player gets to the last few spins before inserting more cash (each spin has to be essentially the same game). Mobile game monetization does stuff like this all the time.
My point was that the "same process as any other organism adapting to its environment" won't continue for very long for humans. Once you have people that don't die, DNA that can be edited at will, or even entirely non-biological bodies, you no longer have the ingredients required for natural selection.
That is fascinating, isn't it? That we're tailoring our writing as a response to how an AI writes things.
You may have a point for strings. But this is about guarantees for more convoluted expressions in other languages. If you include validating SQL being injection-free, this is waaay less verbose.

Also this is about enabling a _system_ of templating, and potentially letting the IDE treat it as such and warn you at compile-time. Small snippets tend to creep all over a codebase. Some use-case that this enables:

* HTML templating React-server-side-style: response.send(HTML_PART."""<div>\{name}</div>"""). Here both the HTML is validated, and the variable is escaped; at compile-time. How do you beat this?

* Query-building: businessFilterClause.add(WHERE_VALIDATE."""PRODUCT_MODEL IN \{authorizedModels}"""). And at compile-time or build-time having it validated against a database schema, and the compatibility of your types.

How bad are the wait times for not getting healthcare at all because your insurance doesn't cover it? Or because the associated costs will bankrupt you?

> Ah yes. Because I, the lay person, know exactly what all those codes mean and their actual costs.

Why would you need to know?

Serious question - how does it help to know what all those codes mean and their actual costs?

All you need to know is $INSURANCEPROVIDER only covers $100 of a bill for $CODE.
What do you care what the "actual cost" of $CODE is for $MEDICALPROVIDER?

> Strange how this didn't play out in (most of) Europe.

Because what the government was able to pay was a lot less than what the US government was able to pay, because the US government provided the money (with basically no controls on cost) and then made the student liable for paying it back. This way the state didn't actually care what the purchase price was, they were always going to get it back anyway.

My understanding is that in Europe (e.g. Germany), the tuition was paid for by the state! It's not a loan, the state is not getting that money back, and so there's pressure on the state to limit what it will pay for tuition.
Apple dropped support for macOS Mail plugins, such as GPG Mail, in macOS Sonoma
I also don’t apply for jobs where I have to write a cover-letter. Last time I was laid off (when I was forced to find a new job), I applied in 2 pools - jobs that piqued my interests and jobs that paid me money so I can live. In the first group, when asked I could easily drone on about the interesting work they publish or whatever. The second group… I could scrap together a smile and a thin lie about how they’re a really impactful place based on what I learned from their homepage.

When applying for jobs because I want a change, not because I need a salary, then yea it’s exclusively applications to interesting companies and teams.

Large companies follow the lawnmower principle. I interned at a large company a few years ago, my code is in their public repos, had an offer from them on two prior occasions (that I did not accept), and still when I get calls from their recruiters, they want me to do coding assignments. I would point the recruiters to my code in their repos, my own public repos, papers etc., but no dice. Computer says no. On the last such call, I told them that I've done these before and that they may have them somewhere. The recruiter said they changed their systems many times over and there is no record. I was tempted to dig up my own laptop to find their old assignments, but decided to fck it. Ain't nobody got time for that.

Who benefits from the EU Commission's mass surveillance law?
In the UK, there are a number of tarrifs targeted at EVs ranging from around 7.5p to 11p p/kWh. Some are type of use (i.e. they monitor exactly what goes into your EV and give you a rebate for the amount that went to your EV) and others are time of use like the traditional night time tarrifs.

I'm on Intelligent Octopus which gives 7.5p p/kWh guaranteed on any electricity use from 11.30pm to 5.30am. Outside of that, if you allow it to manage your EV charge schedule, you can actually get the lower rate at other times of the day I'm guessing subject to general grid load or wholesale costs dropping. For example, I've had my EV charge until 7.30am on a couple of occasions, still at the lower rate.
> When do employers get to "how to properly write a job advertisement"?

It is a very common topic. At work we get special training on it and tools to write better job advertisements.

> a really bad question as it is too open ended and leads to name dropping

It is definietly not a "job advertisement" or a description of a job. It is an interview question.

It is open ended, what is wrong with that? They are looking for someone who has experience in the domain, so they ask potential candidates what their experience is.

And how does it lead to "name dropping"? If all a candidate says is that they have worked at FamousPlace the right next question should be what specifically they have done there regarding running services in production. Same as if they say they have worked at NonamePlace.

You know job applications aren't checkboxes that need to be filled, but an opportunity to promote yourself? Sending in a cover letter that's obviously AI generated gives an employer so many negative signals about you. A good cover letter could be a single sentence, yet you choose to spam us with crap that says nothing about you? Are you struggling to say why we should hire you, or are you just stupid? Into the trash.
The NHS is indeed free, but I was not referring to treatment by the NHS. If you are adult with slipped disc, torn muscle or hernia or other no serious issues then good luck trying to be treated on the NHS. The waiting list is usually two or three years. I was referring to the numerous private hospitals existing in London, where you can see a health specialist within days (it sounds like a luxury in britian, but really is the norm in most countries even heavy sanctioned ones like Cuba and Iran)
> Podman supposed to be drop-in replacement for docker but - last try (4 months ago) of podman to run our development docker containers fails to build so i think Podman is still far away from docker replacement.

I'd be curious what failed to build under podman. I have been using podman as a replacement for docker for the last 3 years and haven't found any blocker. Sometimes you can't reuse a docker-compose file shared by a third party project straight away without adaptation but if you know the difference between docker and podman you can build and run anything that also run on docker.
> Also, in the last several years, the impact of a good cover letter on getting an employment offer has diminished tremendously to the point that expect it of applicants isn't not respectful of their time.

Do you have anything to substantiate this claim?

I'm an employer and I read and respond to dozens of applications when I have an open position.

Usually when I receive an excellent application, the cover letter is roughly a paragraph in length. It isn't some lengthy, typeset file attachment with a mission statement or some other nonsense that would typically appear if you Googled "example cover letter".

My thoughts on ideal job applications closely mirror those described here[0].

I also remember one from Silberschatz's OS textbook about Deadlock that mentioned an old law which said that whenever two trains approached an intersection, they both had to come to a full stop and none could move until the other one had left.
When's the last time you checked? Because the FDA did fix that issue (although it happened very recently, I believe during the pandemic). There are exceptions where the manufacturer can (a) put both the recommended servings and total package size as two columns and (b) can still use servings if the non-resealable container contains 2 or more servings (e.g. a party sized bag of chips).

Mold is a failure mode for floppy disks and water is a failure mode for many electronic storage media or the tools we use to read them.

I suspect that many people associate durability with electronic media simply because it becomes obsolete so rapidly that we don't experience it in the same way. We don't know whether that dusty floppy disk or CD-R is readable since we disposed of our last computer with a drive, or we associate the failure of a flash drive with a cheap drive rather than the intrinsic properties of the media, or we attribute it to abuse. We rarely have the opportunity to use something until it is worn out, or pick it up after a quarter century in storage.

Modern media is incredibly fragile. The chief advantage it has (in terms of longevity) is its digital nature, in our ability to reproduce it exactly. Yet that is only an advantage if we actively maintain our archives.

> We cannot somehow derive some universal standard of "fairness" because no such thing exists. And we don't need philosophers to tell us that.

But you're doing it right now? I agree and would like to subscribe to your philosophy newsletter ^^ Kidding aside, I have to think of this talk by Erich Fromm, "Psychology for non-psychologists", where he starts off with saying there everybody is a bit of a psychologist, otherwise we wouldn't be able to even navigate and survive infancy. The same with what you just said and philosophy in general, I think. The only difference between a hot take on a forum (which is grounded in your experience and thoughts you had previously about it) and "a philosopher" would be doing it full time and for money I guess, or being known for your claims, but that's secondary IMO.
