I learned (the basics of) LaTeX in my last year of middle school, and stuck with it ever since. To be fair, I was into computers since I was a child, played with Rockbox at the age of 10, started to dabble in programming shortly after, so this was a lot less scary than most of the things I was doing already. I took my middle and high school finals (they're kind of like SAT but matter a lot more) by producing LaTeX output, which I then compiled to PDF and printed. The test itself was in braille, as that was all that our government could do.

Throughout college, my first question to most of my professors of math subjects was "do you do LaTeX, and can you give me your source code." Most said yes, and that's how we worked. LaTeX in, LaTeX or PDF out, depending on what the professor preferred.

The amount of LaTeX you need for calculus 1 isn't that great, you could probably teach it to a relatively bright student if you had an hour or two to spare, and then give them the source files. If you have the time, I'd suggest producing "stripped" versions of your files, with as little markup as possible to get your point across and no fancy formatting unless absolutely necessary. The amount of hoops some books and papers jump through to "look nice" drives me crazy.

You could also consider producing, teaching and consuming ASCII math, which seems like an even simpler and friendlier format. I couldn't really use it much in my school career for boring technical reasons, but it looks like a promising option.
Everyone's coming across these shitty AI-written sites.

The worst part is everyone keeps pointing them out in such a way that people continue to feed their engagement and reward the bad by going directly to the source. :\

Apart from money not being everything, it's also much "averages vs medians" (vs distributions) again.

People love using averages because they're a single number, and easy to calculate.

Medians are more difficult to calc, and distributions and percentiles are something most people are never taught, and it's no longer a single number which is easy to (artificially) compare.

>As an American living in Berlin for 2 years [...] but I feel just as "rich"

You probably lucked out on landing a good job and housing, otherwise it's difficult to feel even remotely rich in Berlin as you search for housing if you're moving in right now.

Landing a good job right now is also insanely difficult if you don't have the in-demand skills & experience, a stellar resume, and willing to do lengthy take home tests or leetcode. It's highly competitive right now.

Your experience is more like survivorship bias.

It's funny in a way: because the US spends so much on its military, its allies do not have to. This of course is an enormous benefit to the US: but it's a great way for allies of the US to prosper under the might of the US military while maintaining security in this regard.
Vacations for Europeans has another meaning, they get weeks, sometime even months each year, in the US there is not even a minimum. The average is 11 days in the states, it's really pathetic.

Appflowy has extremely poor performance. Both in terms of loading large files and RAM usage. See my performance comparison of block editors[1]:

I've built a block editor using Qt C++ and QML that is vastly more performant[2].

As you can see, Appflowy probably even has a memory leak, causing the memory to grow indefinitely in my test.

Un/semi related I guess, but I've always found it pretty interesting how brushes are considered artistic, use of PS clone etc tools that "do the job for you" are still considered artistic. But use of SD etc is not artistic at all.

Even faced with the idea of a model trained only on properly sourced works/even only generic photos of the real world, most people _still_ seem to balk at calling it art, or the person who uses such a model an "artist". That's some gatekeeping right there.

I think one has to be careful with the “hours worked”. I noticed Singapore takes a huge hit, but after working there, the hours often include a 2hr lunch, and frequent breaks.

At least at the company I was at, people got less work done in 10 hours than my American coworkers did in 7.
I have never heard of it first hand, though like all phobias, I am sure it somewhat common.

As an example, a friend had surgery for a badly broken bone, he ended up with a metal rod in his body. He was given the option to have it removed, but most people, including himself don't take it. The risks of complications are higher than if left in place.

My grandparents considered cochlear implants but didn't take them, not because of the fear of implants, but because they were rather experimental at the time and expensive. So they went to regular hearing aids until tech improved.

As for pacemakers, people who I know have them are much more worried of the underlying heart condition than of the device.
You know how sometimes you find theres an simpler way of doing things? Sometimes its easier, or more scalable, it just takes creative thinking. Imagine for a moment a crazy idea, instead of sending a strike force to go turn people into mist, we try talking first? Its this weird phenomena, sometimes people dont rush into violence when they feel like their grievances are being taken seriously.
Not at all, because you ended up on their site anyways.
I agree. The big problem here is that the meaning of a rare but valid peace of code has changed and almost no one knows about it. We don't break user space.
Basic question: What would be the simplest way to "digitize" one of these mazes i.e. turn them into a programmable data structure (2D array, matrix, etc.) for example to use as input into a maze solver/RL demo?
As a US worker that regularly interfaces with colleagues in various EU/UK sites, I am not at all surprised by the discrepancy.

Edit: Elaborating… in my experience entire countries will be on holiday for up to a month at a time, while the US offices are chugging along. (And this by and large isn’t true the opposite direction, except for Thanksgiving week.)

I’m not saying it is good or bad either way, but the US prioritizes work far more than other OECD / developed countries.

To illustrate why OIDC introduced audience validation:

When you separately request user info from an endpoint with an access token (which according to OG OAuth2.0 is just an opaque string, which cannot be validated) that access token could be someone else’s, possibly from a user who logged into a different, malicious application which somehow managed to trick you into using that token
No, it's simply not so
For anyone reading this in the future, please be aware the working out "to failure" is this posters' opinion. From my research, I'd tend to say it's actually not favoured in the current state of the art.

From what I understand, achieving (example) 80% of failure can achieve most of the same level of gains while avoiding a disproprionately significant amount of fatigue resulting from achieving full failure.

I would never want an internet where I, an adult, have to request access to whatever is considered sensitive at the time and get placed on a centralized allow list to access it.

If you (not specifically the OP comment) think that’s a good idea, look at LGBTQ content and rights in places like Florida or Saskatchewan. It’s been a hot button controversial topic in much of the US and Canada whether educating children about LGTQ issues is appropriate, which means that would become gated information for everyone and you would have to submit yourself to a government list to view. For a lot of people that could be dangerous if that info leaked or was used against them.

A middle ground would be a user agent flag or API that browsers use to respond to age verification requests, which can be enabled and managed when a computer is set up but would not restrict anyone’s rights or unduly violate their privacy. Parents would need to make sure to select age restrictions when setting up a device and that’s it.
The real innovation I think would be a traditional groupware application that behaves more like Notion or Atlassian or a CRM. I feel like Google started in this direction, but didn't go far enough.

Imagine if every component is tightly integrated and highly cross-linkable.

Our current technology seems so close, but the integrations are inconsistent and the UX is poor.

Denmark, Sweden, and Finland have economies that are nowhere near as concentrated as the two other Nordic nations. Norway is analogous to a Middle Eastern petrostate with over 60% of their economy being derived from oil. Iceland is also heavily reliant on aluminum mining and fishing with those two sectors making up over 70% of their economy.
The HN headline ("How to Install Windows 11 On A Device That Does Not Meet Windows 11 Requirements") is editorialized and does not reflect the article.

The correct headline is "Ways to install Windows 11". The article repeatedly emphasizes that Microsoft does not recommend installing Windows 11 on systems that do not meet their suggested minimum requirements.

Congrats to him. I’ve seen stats that somewhere between 30-50% of all twins are born through IVF. So technically not a huge surprise on that result.

A little surprised on the 50% death rate for children before the age of 5 in 1800. It’s amazing how recent that is.

They cache the preview for subsequent messages containing the same link. For example, if a link is making the rounds and gets sent 200k times in an hour, they don't call the URL 200k times to build the preview, as that's a huge waste of resources on both sides, with a huge chance that the servers containing the link gets DDOSed
Show HN: Domian.io – Find similar and misspelled domains to safeguard your brand
After having misspelled a domain and landed on a squatter’s site many times, I spent some time this year building domian.io to prevent this from happening again. It gives you a list of the most likely misspellings of a domain, their availability, and an easy way to register them - all in one simple tool.

I built this with SvelteKit, Supabase, OpenAI, Resend, and Stripe using TypeScript and hosted it on Vercel. It was a really fun project and took some tinkering to get everything working together. Check it out and let me know what you think!

How's English proficiency (and American braille code proficiency) like in Vietnam?

Keep in mind that most blind people who speak English fluently but don't live in an English-speaking country (myself included) can't read English braille, or at least not well. Because of how voluminous Braille is, it uses contractions, single characters that replace common words and character combinations like "the", "would", "ing" or "ed". Those tend to be language specific, never taught outside their country or countries of use, and hard to get accessible electronic materials for. The math codes are completely different too, we use something derived from Marburg, while English-speaking countries use Nemeth. Even basic characters like + and - differ between those two, not to mention more complicated structures. It's not just the dot patterns that are different but also the design principles, like where you put spaces or when you can omit "begin fraction" / "end fraction" characters.
That’s an interesting fact I didn’t know before that makes sense in retrospect.

I wish you hadn’t phrased it snarkily tho: is it really “sad” that someone doesn’t know an interesting fact that you do, or is it a fun opportunity for others to learn something?
Why are university admissions so much more competitive now than they were just a decade ago?

"In 2010, USC's acceptance rate was 26.3%.
By 2015, the acceptance rate had dropped to 18%.
In 2020, USC's acceptance rate was 16%.
For the Class of 2027, USC's acceptance rate further decreased to 9.75%."

> Like most phishing techniques, passkeys will end it eventually.

This assumes passkeys will be widely adopted. And that users will know to stop wherever the passkey doesn't work. I have doubts about both.
> so the program we write is a meta program that constructs the OO system procedurally. The system is not visible in the program text, it is created as a side effect of running the procedures and remains invisible,

Great way of stating it! Most people who cargo-cult "OO is bad" don't get this.

> a good OO system will, by necessity, be highly indirect compared to the program text. A good OO system will also have sufficient benefits that this trade-off is very much worthwhile,

Very true. This is the reason OOD/OOP has been a great success that has led to the explosion of software that we take for granted today.

> My approach to the tradeoff is to remove the indirection in the program text by making it possible to directly express components, connectors and systems in the program text, rather than having to build them all procedurally.

At language source level (eg. DSL) or binary component level (needs runtime support a la COM) ?

That's a fair point. It's still true that wealth is not built by permitting frivolous spending. With all the posts on HN I find interesting, I feel like It's the television chanal package effect. Even avid news readers would not have subscriptions to all the varied news sources here. About 90% of the time I pay for an honest Economist subcription. It's great, but pricey. Even if I wanted to, I could not afford simultaneous FT, Economist, NYT, Globe&Mail, etc. subscriptions.
> We don't break user space.

That's one strategy. It has consequences, such as keeping around K&R declarations and implicit pointer/int conversion for decades after they started being warned against. Other strategies may have merit.

>because the US spends so much on its military, its allies do not have to

The US also doesn't have to spend so much on military considering it has no enemies at it's borders. It can always ramp down and spend the extra on social services. Ask yourself why doesn't it do that?

>but it's a great way for allies of the US to prosper under the might of the US military while maintaining security in this regard

Oh please, stop being so generous with your allies, you don't have to. You have this a bit backwards.

It's mainly the US who prospers from the oversized military. Do you think the US would stay the world reserve currency and as influential on the world stage in terms of decision making, if the US had the military the size of Denmark? It's precisely that powerful military that allows the US to dictate a lot of international terms and deals in its favor: "Oh, you're a commie nation with different values than us? Then enjoy our globally imposed embargo and sanctions that will impoverish your people."

The US could save a lot of money by shrinking its military and global influence to just cover the US/NA instead of the whole world, but then that would leave a worldwide power vacuum that China will gladly fill and that would also make the US less influential and therefore poorer.

So you see, the US spends 'hella stacks' to be the world reigning superpower because it profits more than it spends.

Now that everyone seems to be in love with signals, there is work going on in the web components community group to prepare a spec for a signal (or observable, not sure what they are trying to call it) primitive [0]. It seems that they are getting ready to bring it to TC39 as a proposal.

(In the meantime, the Observable primitive from rxjs has been given a go-ahead for browser implementation. There is a proposal ready [1], and I think I heard that it may already be in Chrome behind a flag [2]).

So yeah; it's gonna be fun. Especially if both groups call their primitive Observable :-)

Who do you consider the "center", and how have they been effective?

Senators Manchin and Sinema, for example, seem to be for sale to the highest campaign contributor and have been a veto holding back many bills from passing through Congress. And Biden himself is now one of the least popular Presidents in history, so it appears that the American public doesn't consider him effective.
