The thing is, I just don’t want to write programs the way Rust wants me to. Among statically typed languages, Java is the closest to what I want to use but my true love is Common Lisp. With the arrival of Coalton, I can get the best of both worlds: a type system with nice properties for the rare program that would benefit from them and CL for the majority of programs.

“I want to outlaw my opponents political platform, but they are definitely the fascists!”

Amazing that this was said without any irony at all.
Google seems to be pretty happy to provide updates. If my phone lasts 8 years I'll be even more likely to buy another Pixel after that time.

Especially when they are making money continually the whole time by selling everyone's data, even if you could keep the same phone for 20 years.
Sorry but that's not how it has been over the last 5-10 years in most parts of academia.

I've been explicitly told "WE WILL HIRE A XYZ BECAUSE THAT WILL IMPROVE OUR US NEWS RANKING, AND ONLY THAT. BUT DON'T SAY IT OUT LOUD B/C IT'S NOT VERY LEGAL."

Beyond that, when I'm mentoring pre-phds that are preparing their applications, something I need to very carefully explain if they are white males (I'm a minority but I'm a male, fyi) is that they will have to do much better on the exams and predoc research than most of their peers in order to have the same success.

Now, everyone does their DEI incantations. Everyone puts their pronouns in their emails, their pronunciation link at the end of their signature (so they don't get mispronounced), and we participate in many alliship programs in coordination with our DEI leaders. But I doubt people really believe any of this, instead of mostly being in fear of getting fired or at the very least reprimanded. My ex-soviet colleagues joke that this is even worse than in the Soviet era, because back then you could at least joke in private about the speech being BS, but nowadays anyone would snitch on you.
Tangential, but Firefox's error message "Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site. An error occurred during a connection to nitter.net." is so user-friendly it is useless.

Is the certificate invalid? Is the DNS record missing? Was the IP address found, but is returning malformed answers? Is it returning nothing at all? Can I even reach any DNS servers, or is my connection to the internet itself dead?

The browser isn't telling, not even behind a "show details" button. There's only "trouble" and "an error", and some patronizing anthropomorphism with the "Hmm."

I think he got tired of it. It was clearly a one man show.
I think until the product is in consumers hands then we will know how good it is. At the moment it will be only available in korea for around $2000. I'm not really concerned about software surrounding it rather how well the hardware actually works. Is it safe and is it scientifically proven to provide rehabilitation.

If these are true, this product will become very important step in true wearable tech advancement.

So far there's only few videos all in korean and some people using it at CES2024. But all their experiences are positive

> Consider that a diversity statement is a way to evaluate if the applicant has even given a moment's thought to the fact that Gould raised, by seeking to cultivate talent among folks otherwise shut out of the top tier of academia.

But that isn't the job of a professor, they are there to cultivate the talent of people who are already privileged enough to be a part of academia.
Not really seeing the HN angle on this, other than that polyamorous people also use text messages

Ask HN: What problems would you pay to make go away right now?
As a rule, if you can write your code in a file, and run it as a script, it is better than writing scrolls between

The why is obvious.
Well, 'slippery slope' is a logical fallacy. The issue here, more precisely, is that without something to push against the US is inculcating ideas into the next generation of leaders that make ex-Soviets think "wait a second, this looks like home!".

It isn't a slope, this is literally rebuilding the dangerous parts of authoritarian bureaucracy - people who can't think and are then given unearned and easily abusable power over others by an objectively dumb system. The US is already there (as I like to point out, about half the US economy is government spending these days - that isn't a free market, it is some sort of mixed open-command economy); it is only a question of how far the ripples reach.
I do something similar but I just pre-define the names of lights I have in Home Assistant (e.g. "lights.living_room_lamp_small" and "lights.kitchen_overhead") and a smart enough LLM handles it.

If you just say "the lamp" it asks to clarify. Though I hope to tie that in to something location based so I can use the current room for context.
That’s cute - though typically the docker images I build need supporting infra around them anyhow - I’d have to forward to the build script.
This point (I put it in italics) should be discussed more:

> At the time, then-Boeing executive Alan Mulally said selling the factory to a private-equity firm would let Boeing focus on final assembly, where it could add the most value to its airplanes.

By now I think we’ve learned that products made in factories owned by PE firms should carry warning labels. They are proactively anti-quality organizations, focused on extracting the maximum cash out in the short term at the cost of long term value.
FYI, PhD students to most top places nowadays also have to fill their diversity statement.
Anthropic researchers find that AI models can be trained to deceive
Anything that can be produced without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

In our case, the evidence we do have is that tor is a hotbed for crime. That indicates tor is not some captive tool of the us government.
Diversity statements are akin to brainwashing techniques used by religious cults to out heretics.

ISIS uses them to test the piety of people under their rule, and if they refuse to utter them, they are apostates and should be executed.

More amusingly but also sadly, it’s exactly the issue brought up by Seinfeld and the AIDS ribbon. Not wearing the AIDS ribbon, even while on the AIDS walk, is heresy and the heretic should be executed.

Not utterly diversity statements, even if you live and breathe diversity, means to DEI zealots that you are a heretic and a racist. It’s horrifying and I’m hoping all this nonsense clears up before my kids go to college.
Love my yogabook 9i, the best coder machine out there, as long as you aren't performance-bound.

It is great to take to coffee shops because you don't look like those crazy people who take monitor stands and stuff to the coffee shop- It just looks 100% normal (even if you use the full bottom screen)

But then at home I have enough screen size to feel like I'm working on a desktop.

For coding, having the vertical break down the middle doesn't matter really, since you almost always want to work on two documents at the same time, anyway.

Also, the device is very well made and sturdy (the external keyboard is a little flimsy unfortunately, but it's replaceable at least and at least looks nice)
And then there are PTYs or psuedoterminals.
Honestly I think it is a matter of the current state of the economy. Competition for positions is so vicious, and the people running DEI are already established and powerful. So losing out is life changing and can mean the difference between having a comfortable normal life and a constant struggle. If the system was more fair, or if losing out didn't threaten falling into the economic abyss below it wouldn't be so dire. Who delegated the authority to pick winners and losers to these administrators? This is what happened when the professional class took over the liberal side of politics. They've ignored economic equality to the point where it feels like it is life and death to get positions. Along with the nepotism of people in making these decision, it feels like they're asking everyone else to sacrifice except for them and their friends.
While I don't know well about exact arguments for and against GC in that incident, I believe it's worthwhile to consider two cases when you want to avoid GC. One is the case where you shouldn't run GC because you have a very strict time limit and any GC pause is not desirable. The other is the case where GC pauses are discouraged but not the end of the world. D's `@nogc` only caters the former, which is much rarer than the later (i.e. hard realtime vs. soft realtime). So I think `@nogc` should have been more like an `@explicitgc`, where any allocation and thus GC pause should be marked in the syntax, but is not forbidden otherwise. But I do agree that something like `@nogc` was required.
Because you can’t possibly know if it’s genuine? And incentives matter — a non-affiliate link is more likely to be a genuine recommendation.
100% this.

It's because if you order pickup, they don't actually start making it until you get there.
Compelled statements and a ton of performative bullshit aren't going to do anything about unjust laws in the 1800s, mind you.
I guess my understanding is that a tty must involve a device driver for an actual piece of hardware. A pty is all software, implemented as a feature of the kernel any application can ask for.
The APL/J/K/Klong versions are more general; they all work for a variety of ranks of input, whereas the Haskell version- which is the longest and most visually noisy- bakes in a single rank's mapping explicitly.
Whether they can or can’t isn’t really the question. Tor is publicly believed to be private and the government has never tipped its hand that it’s not. In cases where maybe they could compromise Tor, they would have had to use parallel construction, because in court they have never stated they can compromise Tor.

So from an opsec perspective, the question is if the level of your activity rises to the point such that a government entity would take the effort to create parallel construction. If you are not doing something that would anger the government so much, then Tor is a good smoke screen in front of your activity.

Everything is effort and probability. Given enough time and resources you will always be unmasked - always!
> But they’re simply gaming the admission systems by studying rather than spending all their waking hours on TikTok and Fortnite.

That is the point, is it not? The whole reason for higher education is to study and research. The point of higher education is not to spend all your waking hours on TikTok and Fortnite. Shouldn’t the people dedicated to studying get in? I’m unsure how that’s gaming the system. It seems like the system is working as intended.
I'm currently taking a break from working on anything. Just doing the bare minimum to get A's in college, and relaxing the rest of the time. Don't regret it after working so much before.
I think you are unfortunately correct, although I don't think it's accurate to frame this as an issue which only affects the left (though maybe that isn't what you meant). It's clear that humans simply aren't capable of learning to not go on witch hunts. Even with all of the time we spent teaching our children about Salem, Joseph McCarthy, and the like, it goes out of people's heads the instant they encounter a cause they think is righteous and important enough. At this point it seems clear that witch hunts are hardwired into too many human brains to be able to educate people out of it. We will need to figure out how to structure society in such a way that the tendency does as little damage as we can manage.
I Bought the Hottest High-Tech E-Bike. Then Its Maker Went Bankrupt
Probably not related, but I've been getting lots of throttling-like huge page load delays on HN the last couple days, only when logged in.

Any idea whether that's just an overloaded application server, or something Cloudflare is doing?
I mean this doesn’t really mean anything. There is a right view and a wrong view, and of course you can make incremental steps towards right views.

Don’t get so attached to your own opinions, that’s a form of clinging.
Not sure if GPT is the reason stack overflow is declining, but I always liked how I can get really specific help from chatgpt. I can ask it: how exactly can I do x, and it will answer. You don't always find that on stack overflow or reddit.
My partner just watched a video, and a part I overheard was that in order to make your first million, you should stop thinking about money, and start thinking about problems. And more than just thinking about problems, think about solutions. Do this continually until you find a sellable solution you can lead.

So you might be well on your way to your first million right now.
How's the (community provided, of course) Linux support for these niche laptops?
McDonald's does well in Japan and Australia where people have many very high quality food options.

It's also not that popular with poor people in the US because it's more expensive than grocery shopping.
Are you sure these updates include new baseband features?

I know Google is pretty good about fixing security vulnerabilities in the Pixel's baseband, as well as providing Android updates for quite a while, but baseband feature updates seem like a different category still.

I would choose neither. I'll personally deal with my problems myself, and I find that most of the time a few hours of being present and doing nothing helps improve my mental state by a ton.
Yeah you could do that, but uninstalling and reinstalling every time seems unnecessary imo.
Same here. Been on android for several years now mostly because of Tachiyomi (and also KeepassDX, which is an amazing keepass implemenation for Android. I recommend you check it out if you are a keepass user).
Advice on incorporating in the US as an EU citizen
I got it that it is easy to start a Delaware C Corp as an EU Citizen who is still based in the EU. However, I am wondering if there might be any complications if the cofounders stay in the EU for the next few years. I think the cofounders might be able to be paid as contractors. Has anyone here had some experience with this specific use case?
And when would it be necessary to incorporate a subsidiary in the EU?
It helps to think of the things _around_ math rather than the elements of any particular mathematical field. For example, the authority conveyed when an economics argument relies heavily on partial differential equations. Those things _around_ math are studied in the anti-racist math classes.

The American Mathematical Society has been grappling with this:

https://blogs.ams.org/inclusionexclusion/2020/01/31/can-math...

Pure math is very different than social studies. But, in applied math, your research will be used for something promoting one group over another. Personally, I find it manipulative to attribute my own problem-solving contributions to the politics of someone using them.
McDonald's is a franchise so you can't guess its behavior by your assumption of how McDonald's corporate management works.
You are right about early adopters, but once those have been filtered, there will still be multiple stakeholders within the resulting community. Even when we don't consider new users, I can't see how they can be adaquately catered for in general.

> So your definition seems to be that it's part of your body if it was built via instructions in your inherited DNA?

I think you'll find discussions significantly more straightforward if you don't make up the other person's side of the conversation for them and run off tilting at windmills.

What part of the comment where I e.g. said that whether or not a pacemaker is considered part of your body "depends on who's asking and why" gave you the impression that I define body parts as being built by you? What part of my comment mentioned genetics at all?

By the by, tattoos are a modification to a part of your body (your skin) but are very much not a part of it (your immune system is literally constantly trying to get rid of them). And your gut microbiota is very clearly considered to be a _separate_ organism from you, with its relationship described in symbiotic terms.

I don't know if the title has been updated in the last 15 minutes, but the title currently says "A math professor who objects to diversity statements". Not "to diversity".
Having eaten SFBA and Tokyo McDonald's in the last month I like the SF one better.

(In the US I usually get whichever burger has the most burger for the least bread, ask for extra vegetables, get the mango smoothie, and don't eat the fries.)
Right on. Diversity is not about diversity.
The force of an argument should rest on what someone says, not their special backstory or whatever lurid grim stories they can tell. If anything, I think the pattern I described is all about ad hominem credit, not attack.

I don’t fully discount this persons experiences. But I’m wary of an appeal to emotion.
The readme compares it to the cross-architecture Cosmopolitan libc, but Docker is anything but cross-platform. On any other platform besides Linux it requires a Linux VM.

Linux containers are great (and I run Linux as my desktop OS), just pointing out the not-so-efficient nature of considering this cross-platform.
I've been working on something like this but it's of course harder than it sounds, mostly due to how few example use cases there are. A dumb false positive for yours might be "you tend to turn off the lights when the outside temperature is 50º"

> When we’re doing performance management right, we can often tell within 3 months or less of a sales hire, even during the holidays, whether they’re going to be successful or not.

1) This is complete hogwash and absolutely cements that I want nothing to do with Cloudflare.

I've worked in enterprise sales. I've also worked with sales as engineering support. I've also been the senior technical rep that sales had to sell to, too.

3 months on a newbie barely gets you up to the point that you can probably go into a client and shadow a senior and talk about a couple Powerpoint slides without completely embarassing yourself. That's it. It certainly doesn't get you the ability to handle an account or do a close.

Some of our later best salespeople looked completely useless at 3 months.

2) This is the kind of shitty "we're sorry you're offended" apology that dribbles out of every shitty CEO's mouth.

The fact that Cloudflare is STILL trying to stick with "fired for cause" after being put on blast is a gigantic red klaxon.

How many people did they treat like this before they finally got their chain yanked over it? What's the punishment for the people who did this? And how do they plan to make this right?

I don't see any of that, thanks. Hopefully some of the Cloudflare competitors are ready to make hay over this.
Note that collaboration is not mentioned in that rubric at all. It is very much judging an individual commitment to DEIB.
Yes, DEI is a religion in practice, even if not in name. It should remind you of Christianity as well. It has

- Sinners, including "original sin," and a need for confession and atonement for these sins
- Various sacrificial lambs, saints, martyrs, etc.
- Holy times (days, weeks, months) and celebrations, remembrances of past wrongdoing, etc.

In many ways it's an intensely negative religion. It has a concept of _collective_ guilt, much like the Puritans in colonial New England. "If any one of us is a sinner, we're all damned." So they root out the sinners through various ... initiatives.

Unlike Christianity though, even if there is confession and atonement by the sinners, there isn't any redemption. Once a sinner (someone with "privilege," say like all White people) always a sinner.
I really wish the young people on the left who snark about "late-stage capitalism" every time a Walgreens declines to refund pack of Sour Patches would talk to people from countries like China, India, or Russia. We truly don't understand how good we have it in the US.

Do we have corruption? Sure. Regulatory capture? Yeah. A stupid healthcare system? Absolutely. But you can't be thrown in jail for comparing Mitch McConnell to a tortoise. Things could be better, but they could also be way, way, way worse.
Dude how do we know the legal request was valid? Or that there even was a legal request?

You're jumping the gun here. The primary concern is the absurd radio silence from Njalla. Not acceptable. Once they rectify that maybe there will be other problems revealed, but at the moment them being AWOL is the issue.
As a university professor, I can assure you that, in fact, “received food stamps growing up” and “first generation college student” are both identities that are specifically listed in DEI programs I am familiar with, for example special NIH fellowships for PhD sty to promote a diverse academia.

I’m sorry that you were misinformed.

> As an example, a whole bunch of people, for some reason, took "Black Lives Matter" to mean "Only Black Lives Matter", as if that was said or as if that was the point.

That was never my issue, or the issue of anyone I encountered. My issue (and those other people's issue) was the implicit bad-faith assumption that we didn't already think black lives mattered, and needed to be scolded about it. Such rhetoric is needlessly divisive and should be avoided.
It's difficult to avoid, right? If you are writing a network server or client that manages a lot of connections, you can either use the popular async executor or you can stray far from the beaten path.

No, it is a variant of the 737 so using the certification is correct. They weren’t trying to avoid additional certification, it just wasn’t required as it’s a variation of an existing type
