Indeed, it’s for assortive mating, which is a phenomenon of many if not all societies (even if the US press has only discovered it over the last decade). But then such systems are to preserve class status and power.

These cultural practices then serve multiple functions: one is to provide a common culture that makes such marriages work, another is to use values-based definitions which makes them both more flexible and yet more clear.

One point overlooked by this excellent article is the structure of the shift to highbrow culture. Before ~1900 the activities were not only expensive (e.g. the Season, the hunt) but were rooted in lowbrow culture as much as today (an aristo could reasonably participate in farm festivals, help with a cow with a breach calf, etc without loss of status).

The Bloomsbury shift to “highbrow” reflected the post WWI (relative) impoverishment of the elites: it didn’t require the extravagant expense of balls and states, yet still required (less) expensive education and leisure time. It could also be paid for by the state (as discussed in the article by the BBC, but also museums and such), something the elites had the right access to effectuate, transferring the funds from a broader tax base to their own benefit.
Yeah, we literally didn't have the _technology_ of all things. We did have research and machine learning is not a new field. We had a good hunch on where to go next for some time. But AI is infamously hardware constrained and we have only recently got the technology to do GPT-3+ class AI at all.
I noticed that there is a finite amount of certain emotions I can sustain.

I managed to trick myself into feeling sympathy ( e.g. for the victims ) in many cases people demand my anger, but I have not found a replacement for being offended.
You'd probably be better off downloading an edition of wikipedia for that purpose. Entropy, and stuff.
Perhaps we live in much different cultures. I am curious. Well known where? By whom?
The thing is, you were probably getting offended often but not identifying your emotion, so it comes out in other weird ways. By identifying what was going on internally that you were surpressing, you were able to escape the toxic patterns you were contributing to. When you get good at that you can just share the emotion rather than acting it out too, which results in really positive and effective conflict resolution
I had a similar reaction when I read Brian Greene’s The Elegant Universe . It’s a very well written book that champions the cause and explains it in some detail for a layman - and I still came out of it very suspicious about the theory’s validity.
Actually generic types can make reasoning about code much easier. This is the opposite of runtime dynamic types. Generic types tell you what the code doesn't (and cannot) do. Any generic type basically cannot be inspected or unpacked, see the paper "Theorems for free" for examples.

Show HN: Ctix – Next generation TypeScript barrel file(index.ts) generator
Have you ever developed a library project in the TypeScript language? Unlike API servers or desktop applications, library projects don't have a script or function for every run, so it's common to organize the different functions and variables you want to include in your library into a barrel file. However, it's a hassle to rewrite the [barrel file](https://basarat.gitbook.io/typescript/main-1/barrel) every time you add a function or variable, and it's easy to accidentally miss the intended function or variable. In addition, barrel file generators that don't parse can produce barrel files that can cause compilation errors. ctix uses the TypeScript compiler API to search your TypeScript project for functions and variables with the export keyword appended, automatically generating a barrel file that's always compilable.

The use-case may be valid but the implementation doesn't necessarily facilitate it.

I'm stating in the first quote that there is an idea of artists selling their work, but that isn't what is driving the accelerated adoption.

In the second quote I point out some of the technical deficiencies, it is supposed to contrast the first. It doesn't reconcile.

The comment chain is on the topic of why these technical deficiencies are news to so many people, my opinion is that we skipped the scrutiny that BTC experienced and we experienced a gold rush.

That is a bit hilarious. The fact that you couldn’t afford it with diamonds makes it worse? Am I misreading you there?

I’m curious, how would you know the diamond you gave the jeweler was the same diamond they put into the ring, as a layman?

Yes? Even if only 1% of Toyota owners total post videos of their screen and only 1% of those videos capture carplay interactions, that's thousands of videos total.
Unfortunately, the diamond doesn't fetch much when you go to sell it.

You'll get the value of the gold in the ring but not much for the gemstone.

Don't you dare to delete the ad with a black marker, because doing so it is clearly unethical, just like those internet ads.
There was (still is?) a French law that mandates the maximum sales price for soft-cover/paperback books: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lang_Law (if you can read it, the French version of that wikipedia article is much more detailed). The intent behind the law being to attempt to keep "culture" accessible to all incomes, notably by preventing resellers from price-gouging books at the expense of the publisher(s).

This has resulted in many larger tomes being split up when translated to French - for example, the first 5 (English/Original) volumes of A Song of Ice and Fire are sold as 15 (translated to French) books in total : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Tr%C3%B4ne_de_fer#Publicati...

I am also very disappointed at how often French publishers seem to decide that they can chop up these stories willy-nilly without it degrading the quality of the art (re-)productions that they are selling us.
I don't think the line of thinking is directly "lets make this painful on purpose" but there is a sense of - everyone has to go through the same gauntlet and some people are just not cut out of math/physics/etc. It's just the way of the world. There is not direct desire to make the experience better/smoother/easier than it was your generation.

I don't know how it is in the Math department, but in Physics there is almost a sort of hazing that goes on, where some subjects are just known for how grueling they are and how you just have to go through it

"To the contrary, we are delighted when someone shows even a spark of interest or aptitude" Not to read too much into it, but this kinda hints at the problem. You're delighted at the students that have passed your IQ test. There is generally very little care given to the 70%+ of students that aren't making the cut. The true horror is how many students are in the class and not getting it. And the teachers are not freaking out

From my university experience (which was a while ago) it was abundantly clear that most students hate their math/physics classes, were bored out of their skulls and the teachers are only interested in the engaged students that are getting it.

What you should be "delighted" by is when you find a new way to explain something that resonates with most of the class
> The particular rock you might buy your wife? Unclear

Not unclear: as the not-blood diamond is more expensive, buying it is morally the same as buying the blood one. Now that is similar with many things that is produced and sold around the world, the problem with diamonds (and other luxury goods) is that we definitely could have a better society without it. It is not the same as giving up on iphones (which also shouldn't be produced by kids or starving people btw)
Based on what legal or judicial reasoning?
If idealism were a "luxury" it would suggest the status quo is some sort of dystopia; who wouldn't want to change such a world for the better?
For her engagement ring, we got a ring with some kinds of slightly bigger green stones (don’t ask me) on Etsy for maybe 100€, for the wedding bands we went with titanium, 3 small colorless stones (again, don’t ask me which) for her, no stones for me, that came in at slightly over $100 for both. Can recommend titanium.
Not to hijack the thread, but weddings are significantly suckier. The cost is several multiples more than a diamond (natural or lab), only lasts one night, and is typically a large source of stress. Just have a party at a restaurant and use the $50k-$100k saved for student debt or rent or kids school.
We had a class of about 30 engineers nearly give an arts ethics professor a nervous breakdown. The entire class went the obvious choice of flipping the switch to kill the one person. She just couldn't get her head around how we all had no issue.

Do you think the concentration of power should be avoided in general, and let’s say a single person shouldn’t be able to decide on a whim that thousands of people have to do something pointless or harmful, like building a mega yacht?
Unrealistic scenario is unrealistic. 5000 people didn't move from Saratoga Springs to NYC. And 5000 people on UBI aren't going to from NYC to Saratoga Springs, it already has expensive rent. No, if you're on a marginal UBI you aren't going to move to attractive places, you're going to move too someplace where you can stretch your money -- aka someplace cheap and someplace where you have support, AKA family.

People moved from tens of thousands of different American towns to NYC, and lots of people in NYC would love to move back to those tens of thousands of different towns. And if you move back to where you came from, it means that you're not going to stretch the capacity of where you're moving to.

5 people moving from NYC to 10,000 different towns is far more realistic than your scenario. And 50,000 moving from NYC is likely going to affect rents there more than 5 people moving elsewhere.

I don't want to discount the usefulness of definition-time type checking of generics, but (compile time) tests against archetypes are an obvious way to make sure that your generic code instantiates correctly.
A shadow stack is a separate stack that is only maintained by making function calls and returning according to what the CPU actually did. In theory you can't trample the stack, so it's both a security feature and a way to avoid weird GDB sessions.

I'm not sure but I think shadow stack makes assumptions about how you use the ISA. For example, it's a completely legitimate program to just execute forward 10 million instructions, and use the stack pointer for other things. Or use another register. RISC-V made JAL take any register, but then no compiler that I've ever seen will use anything but RA. But it's also pretty harmless! What isn't an assumption is how Linux uses the stack, so we can at least say that it makes Linux more reliable.

Fun fact: Golang doesn't use GP as a global pointer to data. It doesn't even use the register, maybe to be compatible with C?
Even machine code itself is an abstraction, especially on x86, where the actual micro-code that the physical circuits would recognize is different.
Yes that's what I meant. Edited to clarify the ambiguity in my comment.
Well done. One thing that struck me is how young the framework is in the big scheme of things. When I first got into programming around 10 years ago, people were already writing articles about how Rails was near obsolete so without giving it much thought I assumed it was from… maybe the early 90s?
That sounds quite more plausible than my idea. FP emulation is always interesting if performed by multiple programs/companies messing with each other's implementation. Lots of fun with layers of interrupts, real/virtual/protected mode switches and all the other magic the original 87 was not designed for.
Yeah, that's probably why GP was compiling Gentoo on it ten years later: By then it had become a little too tired for Windows, but still quite viable with a crisp Linux distro on it. In case you thought you saw some discrepancy there, I think you're mistaken.
Self-service tills are good for when you've only got a very few items to purchase and rather than stand in a long line of a staffed checkout, you can just use that instead.

Otherwise, yes, as the article mentions, they're quite frustrating to use if you have to wait for staff approval for, say, alcohol purchases, and it can take a while for said staff member to attend to the self-service till; you might as well have waited in the staffed checkout line.

Bringing staff back to checkouts increases employment. That can only be a good thing.

Perhaps some time in the future, someone will come up with a robotic assistant intelligent enough to do the checkout task... but I suspect that's not going to happen at least for another 5 years or so.
Yes, it's all just implemented using qemu helpers. I expect performance will be terrible.
I had a "manager" (he was hired as a senior dev and became a dev manager because we really needed one) who would handle this by saying things like "look into X for me but don't spend more than Y time on it", with the Y usually being an hour.
"Technical and difficult": there are both important concepts and broad strokes that your teacher should be good at explaining, and important details that should be explored in a textbook because they need good pictures, data, editing etc. more than good explanations.

Taking a longer time than normal to learn a topic and prepare university exams might be a good alternative to burnout; or maybe your lifestyle and/or intellect are incompatible with studying.

Residency as well, not just citizenship. Other benefits (here in Germany) include: Better adoption rights, no visiting issues when your SO is suddenly in the hospital, tax benefits, and a bunch of other small benefits that you have a decent chance of encountering in your life.

While we mainly got married for her residency, it’s worthwhile to get married for a multitude of reasons. My sister and her husband also decided to get married for the 2nd child, as they also encountered issues being unmarried.
great post explaining CRDT and the tool.
I much prefer going through a self checkout but it’s a poor solution. The traditional checkout process makes sense because there’s a person involved, if no person is involved then there are much better solutions.

Stores in the UK like Tesco and Waitrose have had scan-as-you-shop devices for many years, and there’s other stores (like M&S) which support scan-as-you-shop using your smartphone. Amazon Fresh has the zero-scanning magical detection of what you’re buying using cameras.

If you’re going to have a checkout, have a person at the checkout. If you want a more efficient process, don’t have a checkout, let customers scan as they shop.

If they’ve got the customer data to back up the choice it sounds like a good move. Personally (n=1) most of the time I prefer the self-service checkout and the occassional problem when an item won’t scan or there’s some software screw up is a small price to pay for the chance to just keep to myself and move a little faster.

That moissanite is basically indistinguishable from CZ -- but highly distinguishable from diamond -- is not a point in its favor.
