I'm surprised Zima hasn't made a permanent comeback. It's always remembered rather fondly by folks.
Mathematicians are well aware of complaints like these about introductions to their subjects, by the way.

It is for a reason that this book introduces the theory of abstract vector spaces and linear transformations, rather than relying on the crutch of intuition from Euclidean space. If you want to become a serious mathematician (and this is a book for such people, not for people looking for a gentle introduction to linear algebra for the purposes of applications) at some point it is necessary to rip the bandaid of unabstracted thinking off and engage seriously with abstraction as a tool.

It is an important and powerful skill to be presented with an abstract definition, only loosely related to concrete structures you have seen before, and work with it. In mathematics this begins with linear algebra, and then with abstract algebra, real analysis and topology, and eventually more advanced subjects like differential geometry.

It's difficult to explain to someone whose exposure to serious mathematics is mostly on the periphery that being exposed forcefully to this kind of thinking is a critical step to be able to make great leaps forward in the future. Brilliant developments of mathematics like, for example, the realisation that "space" is an intrinsic concept and geometry may be done without reference to an ambient Euclidean space begin with learning this kind of abstract thinking. It is easy to take for granted the fruits of this abstraction now, after the hard work has already been put in by others to develop it, and think that the best way to learn it is to return back to the concrete and avoid the abstract.
The same principle applies to programming. Functions that know less about their arguments are more generally applicable.
I think this followed or accompanied by axler is the way to go

> doing so elsewhere would deservedly be criticized.

I suggest that these people express their criticism by not using the software in question. I doubt the typical purveyor of free-as-in-* software who's stuck between a rock and a hard place re: monetization particularly cares what somebody who doesn't understand the personal specifics of their dilemma thinks about their chosen solution to it.
Civil court litigation. The dollar amounts in question are well over small claims court amounts (6-7 figures). Guaranteed Rate is arguing those with signing bonuses did not meet their contractual obligations, while employees are indicating the terms were changed unilaterally while employed.

Not an attorney, but depending on state and other situations, I’d expect some folks to shed this claim in bankruptcy if necessary (if the amount owed is hundreds of thousands of dollars, they can’t get relief, the mortgage industry is dead for another 2-3 years based on the Fed effective rate, etc) or otherwise leverage state statute. Florida has very strong protections against creditors, for example.

Decades later you haven't realized that what Bill Gates did was found a startup instead of working for IBM at the time, the current day Microsoft equivalent?
My experience with the average programmer is...different from yours. The software development field is exceptionally bad in this regard. Physicists are mathematically sloppy sometimes (why, yes, I will just multiply both sides by `dy` and take as many liberties with operators, harmonics/series, and vector differential operations as I care to, thanks).

Mathematics, like any other academic field, has jargon (and this includes notation, customary symbols for a given application, etc.), and students of the field ought to learn the jargon if they wish to be proficient. On the other hand, textbooks meant to instruct ought to teach the jargon. It's been forever since I've opened a mathematics textbook; I don't recall any being terribly bad in this regard.
Laughter is an involuntary physiological response, so whatever is funny has to trigger that. The ideas in the article about superiority and related sentiments aren't satisfying to me tho. When you look at humor that uses disgust or discomfort/awkwardness, that underlying, necessarily involuntary aspect becomes more obvious. It explains why the failure mode of funny is often "asshole," as well, where you've made a play for someones involuntary responses and failed. To be funny, you have to prevail.

I am what I would call semi-pro level funny, where I can make pretty much anyone crack up in almost any situation, but there are people I've offended who will never laugh at anything I say again because they've been hurt by it and don't trust my words or intentions anymore. This trust or feeling of safety is another necessary ingredient. The expectations theory of humour has part of it, but mainly where when you are funny, you are taking peoples expectations on a ride. If you've crashed the bus before, they're not going to trust you to drive it again.

Comedians at the top of their art are storytellers, and what a friend calls stand-up philosophers, where at that level, punchlines are just satisfying closure on a baroque network of opened loops. You can compose stories like music, where you build tension and introduce themes and motifs, cresendo and decrecendo, etc. I think we're just at the beginning of understanding what funny is, and I'd suspect we're less than 18 months away from LLMs creating Python's, The Funniest Joke in the world.
This seems incredibly naive considering companies where engineers are pushing literally thousands of commits a day. Things will break, period.
There's also an argument to be made that humans can live on photons alone. Didn't turn out well.
I have one of those Intel “stick PCs”. I keep it running in my server rack for anything I need Windows for. It is not fast, but at like 2W idle, I don’t worry about leaving it running all the time. I just RDP into it when I need it.

I also have a few of those “mini PCs” around the house for various things. One is my “server” (NAS, docker host, etc), one is a Proxmox host so I can spin up random VMs as needed, and my son uses one as a gaming PC.
> Systems are complex. It sounds like the DID system within your brain collapsed when a key part of the system stopped collaborating.

Sorry, it was not someone within the system, it was someone external. It was heartbreak after a period of deep discomfort.

Don't worry, I spend a lot of my life trying to make sense of DID stuff. It's the curse of being autistic, I guess.
Tools like istio provide this sort of functionality currently, right? Does this adding anything to that?

I wonder how developers will be able to develop extensions for it.
Didn't they only need the 700MB dockerfile due to Fly.io requiring it?
Not such case. It's expensive to repair, but it's paid by insurance. So people are okay to buy good but expensive to repair car. It's not great for society.
Most movies aren't shot on reels of film ("What's a 'film'?") anymore, nor do most people know what the "tube" in Youtube means.

I wager terms like "content creator" came about as an attempt by younger generations to detach concepts they know from concepts they don't or can't understand.

Note how a similar thing has happened to Saving something (it's "in the cloud" now, nobody knows what a floppy disk is), Private Messages are now Direct Messages (there is no privacy), and files and folders have straight up ceased to exist because paperless is the modern trend.

"Influencer" is probably mostly just snake oil peddlers trying to figure out a more palatable name for themselves, though; not that it's any more palatable.
Every mainstream cloud platform has substantially the same term in their user agreement, including the big hyperscalers. Abuse is a constant challenge for cloud providers; it would be an untenable problem if abusers had legal recourse to account closure.

Many early arcade video games were monchrome. They attached coloured cellophane to the front of the screen to add colour to specific areas. Space Invaders used this method.
Clickbait is not the same as sensationalism, though sometimes they overlap. "Clickbait" is literally correct here since they are withholding precisely "why dozens of endangered elephants dropped dead" in the title itself, so you are baited into clicking through.
Not really? Only if you amplify the bad and hide the good. That way you can live in a fantasyland

> Sometimes I wonder if perhaps it’s not the gadgets that have changed, but instead I have just grown up. Whenever this happens, I stop and watch my lava lamp for a little while. Without fail, it always invokes the same sense of wonder I felt as a child in The Gadget Shop, and takes me back to my fond memories of the time spent there with my father.

When I feel the corporate enshittification becoming overwhelming, I use Dungeon Master IIGS, Bards Tale IIGS (and other pixelly classics) for this. Felt like magic growing up with all the exploration and secrets to uncover.
At this point dating apps have such a broad influence over society that I'm surprised that there's not even a mention of gov regulation.

I don't want the fine technocrats that brought us cookie banners to exert their control, but some more transparency for the public should be mandatory.
Yes! I've really bought into this idea recently. Roles are about hiring someone to always think about things from that particular perspective.

Eng are capable of being PMs, but they will never think about everything from the PM point of view, because they are primarily engineers not PMs.

Something else I've realized in line with breaking the boundaries of roles is that usually, the most valuable aspects of a person's role are the responsibilities that are not explicitly defined. Hard to explain, but often people provide value in ways that are hard to describe and quantify.
By presenting a mystery without any reason why else you might be interested other than the fact that it _might_ be a mystery.

Many people prefer titles to be an accurate and concise summary of the article, rather than relying on emotional tricks to get you to visit an external website find out what it's actually about. On a news aggregator site like HN, an accurate title is nicer because it respects your time and lets you choose your content.

Mysteries are interesting, so humans want to solve them. If the article turns out to be something uninteresting or something not to do with the headline, then the reader has wasted their time and the author and the website is being dishonest and being rewarded for it by clicks.
This review is so long that it is actually a good substitute for reading the actual book. It covers the main points, and skips over hours of fluff, such as Lewis's constant personality analysis of SBF.

Also I think it importantly touches on how Lewis is overly dismissive of the severity of the crime here.
xfire, roger wilco, teamspeak, kali, ventrilo, mumble, icq. Relics of better times.
Not really no, I am quite far from the startup scene on the contrary. In French we'd call an entrepreneur anyone who runs a business, aside from a small shop owner maybe.

TeMPOraL nailed what I was trying to convey.

What is your experience like? Do you live in a place where high quality work alone is unanimously recognised as success?
Such pressure does exist. And it's even stronger in, say, Christian communities, but I don't think it makes finding a partner a breeze in them (although they do tend to get married sooner?)
I am personally not a fan of this: early in my career, a colleague moved from the Bay Area to Boston to try to save his marriage (which sadly didn't work) -- and our employer adjusted his salary down accordingly. As you might imagine, the difference between the Bay Area and Boston is minimal -- they adjusted his salary down something like 4% -- but I just recall how dispiriting it was for him to have this massive, stressful (expensive!) life transition exacerbated needlessly. Employers don't factor in other elements of cost-of-living (can you imagine giving someone a pay bump when a kid goes to college -- or a reduction when they graduate?!), and I don't believe geography should be factored in either: pay people for their work, not their ZIP code.
Which is total BS because as someone who moved to the UK, I bitch about the UK all the time.

Sure, I respect the fact that I've been allowed to live and work here, but what sort of democracy doesn't allow critical thoughts of a government, country, culture etc?

There's a huge difference between if I said something like "The UK state should be destroyed, all British citizens are heathens" as opposed to what I usually say which is more "there's a huge class and wealth gap problem in the UK", "both sides of the gov here are only interested in filling their own pockets with money", "why does my tier 5 visa years not count towards ILR like my tier 2 does, why is UK so anti immigration when their entire services economy replies upon it?", "British people are resistant to change and cling onto old ideas", "British politeness is actually a myth, rudeness is just expressed differently here, the politeness is often insincere".

All things that are critical of the UK but valid viewpoints that others may disagree with. I couldn't imagine not being able to be freely critical of the place you live. What's the point in voting, otherwise?

Yes.

These mortgage brokers are the same vultures that pushed crappy ARMs before 2008 because they made a bigger commission than a fixed 30 year.

Reading the article they seem like used car salesman. I love the guy who admits the business is "feast or famine" but now laments he's "been unable to sell his 7,700-square-foot house at the $3 million he is seeking".

Every sign-on bonus I've gotten only makes me pay it back if I choose to leave before a certain time. Fired for cause? I keep it.

Sounds like these employees didn't read their contracts. I love the guy who is choosing to leave early and is mad they won't pro-rate it.

These are the same snakes that would sell their own mother a mortgage she couldn't afford.
Aged like milk. That article backfired so badly, if something it points out the amount of bloat a company with an inflated "ego" can have.
Yeah idk if it's still the case but in the 2000s there was a solid contingent of habitual appalachian trail hikers that were quirky and crunchy. Eschewed the gear of what would later be called ultralight backpacking but just hiked huge stretches with a tumpline pack, hammock, and pemmican for fuel. Hardcore and you could literally smell them if you were downwind but they always seemed to be having a blast regardless of weather.
1) isn’t being entirely fair. MDs or any other practitioner are generally restricted by what they can bill insurance since only a minority of patients opt for concierge care. So if insurance allows for “X minutes for Y service”, that’s what they generally do in most “eat what you kill” practices (which is most). Some will go above and beyond, but that’s to their detriment. Insurance billing generally makes care “billability”-centric.

How bad is "The Moonstone" for you to like "Great Expectations" better?

"Great Expectations" bored me to tears. "Tale of Two Cities" is an OK book with a terrible book taking up 2/3 of pages inserted in the middle.

If Dickens hadn't written "A Christmas Carol," I don't think anybody would know who he is.
I take it broadly as nothing was clearly defined. :)
Yeah as a gay dude I see this frequently in peeps "I used to hate gays until I found out my daughter was a lesbian". Sure it's nice for people to realise they were wrong, but it would sure be swell to skip all of the hate in between, for everyone involved.
Fact: babies not born in hospitals are 2x more likely to die during childbirth.

Brings the rest of the equation into focus, at least for me.
That seems like an awfully petty reason. (and does the forum censor the word "Russia" or something?)
The best products are made when a single highly competent person has complete control over the direction of the product. The problem is that's also how the worst products are made. Mediocre products are made through more democratic decision making processes.

If you think you can identity people with good taste, and incentive them properly to make the product better, and give them control to act on their taste, then you should do that. But you probably can't. One of the pieces is probably missing. Maybe you can't measure product quality very well. Or maybe you don't have good taste for people with good taste. Or maybe you don't have the authority to give someone control over the product.

The article gets at what I just called taste for good taste. It doesn't make sense to create a product manager role if you can't fill it with someone who has good taste concerning the product. Often, companies will get the PM roll wrong on multiple fronts: bad taste, and no ownership. At that point you've just hired on another voice adding noise to product discussions.
Interesting. I do think one of the most interesting things about diet is that so much of it is time. When we feel like we can dedicate ourselves to doing it right it's a lot better.
Nice, but I have to ask how does it compare with https://austlii.edu.au/, especially for completeness?

The Australasian Legal Information Institute is a great resource and yet seems strangely unknown (to the wider public at least.)

Trivia, the only reason I found out about it was when I did some work for an Aus govt agency and found out that they shared their web site with austlii! This was back in the early 2000s.

That seems unnecessarily presumptuous/hostile. I hate click bait too, this just didn't strike me as having that tone. Sometimes I think we jump a little too quick to negativity about every little thing. E.g. in my opinion, "not summarizing the conclusion" is only one trait of click bait, not the definition.
Basadd!!
Yep I agree, the ad supported Internet was a mistake and we should never have stopped paying for the services we use. I just hope that these changes will increase people's willingness to pay, then other platforms who aren't owned by the largest ad broker might have a chance.
What about a fusion reactor, generating its own hydrogen molecules to power nuclear fusion through electrolysis from the water vapor in the air.

There isn't really a theoretical limit to how small a fusion reactor can be, although clearly this would not achievable for a long time.

A dime today is roughly the equivalent of half-a-cent around 1970.

But the next coin up is 25 cents. That's a jump too far, just right now. Keep the dime for the next 5-10 years and then kill it off.

The 1-cent and the 5 cent coins are useless and irrelevant. They must be abolished.

But if the "non-citizens don't automatically have a right to enter the country" logic holds up, then what rules should be used to allow or deny entry?

Would it be okay to deny entry to a foreigner because they're black? Or gay? They don't have a right to enter anyways, so I guess it's okay.

This is really about "how does the negative things they say about the US affect how they'll improve the US by being there, if at all" which is really the general rule for most immigration; how can this person help and improve the country they're entering.
