As someone who has recently been deep diving D3 for fun, I will give you my opinion.

D3 is the king of data visualization written by Mike Bostock, a creative comp sci dude with incredible data viz and programming skills (love ya Mike)

The initial learning curve is kinda steep, but in reality it’s actually a really logical setup, you just need to build a few mental models. Without a doubt, I would pick D3. Top charting libs use D3 under the hood. It’s so god damn flexible you can build whatever you want.

Study d3indepth.com for a couple weeks, write a lot of code and watch some YouTube videos. The books are usually meh on this subject and outdated. Mike started Observable to make this passion of his profitable. It’s like Jupiter notebooks for visualizations using D3.

I’ve been wanting to write more and use visualizations to strengthen my writing and I’m picking a mix of D3 and standard JS/HTML to do it. Very satisfying
Do you think LLM/ML is on the level of steam engine and electricity: a century and more in value, and still holding on; or more of cloud computing level: OpenAI being analogous to AWS, providing loads of value but still on the 1 decade scale?
Speak for yourself. The W3Schools site has a clean information architecture, short chapters on topics and working example code with a sandbox.

The MDN site on the other hand is a pure technical reference site, like PHP.net.

Considering that search works by way of matching search phrases to site text, it's not at all surprising that Stack Overflow and W3Schools rank higher than the reference manual sites.

I think you missed the main point of my argument.

I am not, in the post, claiming either that we should or should not create a magical duplicate skeleton key. I am claiming that a rigorous argument against creating such a key would have to take into account online crime as it exists today, and argue why we still shouldn't attempt to create a back-door marked "good guys only". There are many forms this argument could take: that the back-door would be useless for its intended purpose; that the harm would outweigh the benefits; that it would be unconstitutional etc. etc.

The one argument I will not accept _against_ a back-door is that online crime is not a real problem. This just hands the pro-back-door community a massive stick to beat the other side with.

As far as I know, my local library doesn't have Al-Qaeda's Inspire magazine, nor The Anarchist's Cookbook. I haven't checked for sure though, just in case it is in fact a listening post - people have landed on no-fly lists for stupid reasons before now.

(Weirdly enough, during the Cold War, Switzerland quite officially published a book called Total Resistance (Der Totale Widerstand) and made it available in at least some public libraries. It was a basically a manual of "how to become a ~~terrorist~~ resistance fighter if the Soviets invade".)

This is an interesting analysis, in many ways. Take it further down the stack and see that functional semantics are always executed by imperative machines. Such that we have systems of imperative machines that we build functional abstractions on top of, so that we can have readable imperative code for the users. :D (An amusement being that both the machine and the people prefer imperative, it seems.)

In Haskell terms, Roc's `Task ok err` is essentially an `IO (Either err ok)` - the only difference between how Roc does it and how Haskell does it is that `Task` bakes in error handling whereas `IO` doesn't. (Plus the syntax sugar being different, of course.)

So the biggest difference is that algebraic effects are a separate language feature, whereas Task (like IO in Haskell) is a plain old type in the standard library that happens to represent effeects.

Incidentally, the Task.await function in Roc is based on Elm's Task.andThen - we just tried out a different name and argument order for it:

> Gold is just such a weird special-case thing in economics that it seems very hard to draw interesting conclusions about anything else when you're opening up the discussion with using gold as a benchmark.

Especially since the gold standard did nothing to help in stabilizing currencies:

Is not an hedge against inflation:

* https://www.nber.org/papers/w18706

* https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3667789

even over the long-term, per Roy Jastram's The Golden Constant: The English and American Experience 1560 to 1976:

> Andre Sharon, head of the international research department at Drexel Burnham, Inc., notes, “the value of gold essentially derives from its capacity to preserve real capital and purchasing power.”† I select this particular quotation because of the prestige of the organization and the position of the spokesman, but statements in this vein can be found in great numbers. They can be traced back for generations and in many countries. How can this proposition so contrary to statistical fact become so widely believed and quoted? Possibly because gold has preserved capital in cataclysmic cases it is easy to infer that it can be trusted to do the same in less severe circumstances. To extrapolate from gold’s protection in singular catastrophes to its use as a strategy against cyclical infation is an example of faulty inductive reasoning.

Its not an absurd number, depending on how it is calculated.

I've seen that number thrown around, and by some calculations it would already apply to open source models like LLama.

No, we don't need to ban or regulate LLama or any existing open source models. If someone wants to be worried about GPT-6, fine. But there is no need to regulate the stuff thats already out there.

The parent comment is about Amazon employees in India.

Your point #1 contradicts itself when you say "if they were locals who can simply move on to another job" --> Indians working India are the "locals" who can move onto another job. And Indian tech industry is very well developed, its not difficult to find another job, certainly not for those working in MAANG companies.

Entirely disagree with point #2, people can learn a language if they use it long enough. And Indians are no strangers to speaking multiple languages. The bilingual population of India exceeds the total population of US.

Its also extremely ignorant (maybe even racist) to suggest that people in India have not seen the equipment or the customers. Frankly, this is the most abhorrent part of your comment for me. Like I said, ignorance, hatred, and racism seeps through in any conversation.

Also, if a company care so much about quality of work, they can ship the equipment to India. Or does shipping not exist there either? Lastly, speaking of Amazon, which equipment is this exactly? Or what customers?

I somewhat agree with your point #3, but for a company like Amazon the hiring process is pretty much standardized. Its leetcode, leadership principles and system design for the higher levels. How much variation in evaluation can there be for such a standardized process?

> Although some may start jumping to conclusions that try to explain this through racial stereotypes...

And it needs to be called out. Unfortunately, it has become all to acceptable to be racist against Indians online. Even in channels like hacker news.

Vim has substitution:

You can put regexes in there, so for 99% of cases you're fine. In neovim (but not in vim) this will also show you a "multicaret" UI.

This is also just one mode of sed, so if you need to do this across multiple files you can just run sed.

The fact is, retail cannot compete risk-wise with institutions. Thanks to Quantitative Easing and low interest rates, money, by itself, has very little value. To make lending money "valuable", you have to leverage it at ratio that the average retail investor can't afford risk-wise. Only edge fund that can afford to risk it all can do that. More so, 2008 proven that the government was willing to bail out institutions, something not available to retail.
This does not jibe with my recollection, which is that usps.com has always been the main site.

> at best a passive investor can count on preserving their capital against inflation.

That's not true. A) most active funds fair worse than passive funds (as has been shown many times), and similarly, most active traders fair worse than buy-and-hold traders, but more importantly, B) you can hold the full market (more or less) as a passive investor easily, and thus benefit from the few companies that pull the entire index up.

Most stocks underperform the bond market, but the stock market as a whole outperforms the bond market.

> There is no such thing as an “absolute” free market.

A free market is typically defined as a situation where interested parties can exchange anything they so wish at any price.

"Big-brained" humans like to create all kinds rules which may make markets amongst humans unlikely to ever be free in practice, but it seems apparent that other animals regularly exhibit free markets. In what way are they not "absolute"?
The trick is knowing that, getting in early enough, so you can get out before others realise and move out. Investment is all a game beyond a certain level, with the numbers just a means to keep score, there connection to money as we know it (the numbers we exchange for goods & services to survive day to day) being rather tentative.

The main technical reason is that the vast majority of UPSes cannot take what they give. If you have a 1000 VA UPS that is loaded at or near 1000 VA, it will draw significantly more than 1000 VA during periods of recharging, or if you make use of the non-protected outlets on certain models, or if the model is a double-conversion type. Thus, daisy-chaining two identically-sized UPSes will never work; they always need more input power capacity than they can output.

Then there's the issue of output waveform. Cheaper UPS models put out a hideous square wave or modified square wave waveform. This is adequate for being fed into a PC's PSU to be turned right back into DC, but most UPS line status detectors will not be happy being fed in such a bad waveform and will consider the grid faulted. Thus, as soon as you have an outage, both UPSes will go into battery mode, and you will not be able to use the "upstream" UPS's capacity. I suspect that even nicer UPSes may have issues accepting the power generated by another UPS, as their voltage and frequency regulation may not be good enough to satisfy the grid stability tests.

But the larger part of my reasoning for why you shouldn't daisy chain UPSes is that it's attacking the problem of reliability from the wrong angle. By daisy chaining UPSes, you have added an additional single-point-of-failure to your system. If instead you used a redundant PSU, you would have decreased the number of single-points-of-failure.

In my personal experience, I have seen far more power supplies die than I've seen UPSes, so the first thing I would do if I wanted a more reliable power setup is go for the redundant power supply. Only then would I consider attaching multiple UPSes (but I probably wouldn't under normal circumstances).

True. Apple devices are a lost cause for me, I don't even consider supporting them in my software. It doesn't even come up as an option in my head, I forget it exists. I'd never willfully have anything to do with their ecosystem, whether desktop or mobile. I wonder if eventually people like me refusing to support them will actually make a difference and force them to change, or if enough people will just continue to bow down to them and do what it takes to be on their devices that they can just keep their horrible practices going.
