SA has massive brain drain but still better than many countries producing talent by many metrics.

I've looked at the visa process before and it looked as if getting PR is nightmarishly difficult compared to other talent seeking nations like Taiwan or Australia. I don't understand it.

If you issued liberal visas and an ak47 to fend off the carjackers id think hard about getting on the next flight.

Truly a breathtaking beautiful country and I hope things look up for you soon.
I can disagree on one major point. There are talented teams that cost well over 10M annually tasked, effectively full time, with finding exploits in kvm.

I’m still not sure I understand what that means for your argument but a kvm exploit, especially a jailbreak, would be one of the highest value exploits in the world.
btrfs is not stable, at least not for me. it lost my data only a couple months ago. no power cut, no disk failure, data just gone.

Yep! The government even turned a blind eye to anti-American protests at the time - barely a couple years after Tiannamen.
Rust approach may be great, strikes me as potentially a natural fit for a spatial index though - curious if spatial index would be practical and how it compares. Geopandas from memory has at least some support for spatial indexes. I believe geopandas if used naively will also do spatial operations quite naively (slowly)

Not that I am saying your argument is wrong, but I'd be wary of comparing such vaguely defined stats across countries. What does and doesn't count as public sector is going to vary wildly and so will how much of publicly funded work is done by direct employees vs. contractors. Statistics can lie as easily as they can give you useful info.

Rust is definitely used in Firefox, but Servo[0], which was going to be the replacement browser engine (or at least the testbed for that), was abandoned by Mozilla, in a limbo for some time and now under new stewardship.

On a meta-level, I think the story that people like to tell is that Mozilla chose increasing executive compensation rather than using the same money to keep the Servo (and people working on Rust itself) employed.

I’m a researcher at an R1 and I love working with undergraduates. But it’s not true that they’re a huge source of additional resources. Quite the opposite: like any new researchers they have to be carefully supervised, which means they can actually consume a lot of time from PIs and PhD students (you can send them off on their own without supervision, but that’s how you get low quality results.) Unlike PhD students, however, undergrads tend to graduate just as they’ve finally learned the ropes. It’s still worthwhile because a few of my undergrad research interns did great work, and at least a couple of them applied to PhD programs (at least two in my lab; they’re both Assistant Professors at top CS departments.) But the answer to a resource allocation problem is almost never “here’s a simple idea that makes the resource limits go away, why aren’t people doing that.” Unfortunately.

Berlin can afford to have free public toilets when significantly poorer cities can. And yes, not charging for use can actually reduce the overal operating cost more than what you would have gained from the fee.
I’ll often looks at the username if I find a comment either particularly insightful, or particularly stupid. It tends to be the same small collection of users, so I guess I’m agreeing/disagreeing with people quite consistently.
That already exists too, but it's also poor UX because it processes your response slower than a person would, and it sometimes misunderstands what you're saying or asks you to repeat.

For the sake of argument, we can imagine the Echo technology is advanced enough to be on par with speaking to a real person, like your own personal assistant that you trust.

I could see it being useful for recurring purchases when I run out of an item, although I (and I assume most people) get these items from the grocery store. For items you've never purchased before, I could also see it being useful if, like a personal assistant, it prepares a short list of items to choose from based on your purchasing preferences. But I would still rather see the list of the items before making the purchase.

If focused on that, because the consonant shift is generally what shows us which words come from German vs. Germanic, rather than address the subsequent shift from g.

The softening of the "g" into "y", "j","i" is also a feature in other Germanic languages for many other words. E.g. in modern Norwegian "deg" (the object form of "you" / "thee" which is necessary in Norwegian still) can be pronounced both with a very pronounced g, and with a tiny shift of the tongue to soften it into a i/j. In English we have "dough" where the "g" has disappeared, but was still there in Old English, and where in modern Norwegian you again can choose /dɛɪːɡ/ or /dæɪ̯/. They all, again, share a root in Germanic with the German, where we again have a strong indication the other Germanic languages evolved their current versions from Germanic rather than German in that the German got a "t" from the consonant shift: "Teig" (vs Low German "Deeg")

Also, that’s about half of what you’d pay for 11 users on most other group chat services.

From what I can tell, the average is about $8/user/month. And no, I don’t understand it. For my former employer, a large public university, these services would cost about $240k/month before any special discounts. For that price you could hire a whole team to build and run your own product. Make it make sense.
Yesterday a Russian "chef" was arrested after drunkenly bragging about a sabotage operation to disrupt the Olympic opening ceremony.

https://theins.press/en/politics/273350

> On May 7, he was in Russia and due to fly from Moscow to Istanbul, where he’d catch a connecting flight back to Paris the next day. Except he couldn't. He got so fall-down drunk at Istanbul Airport that he was barred from boarding his plane. Instead Griaznov took a taxi to the Bulgarian border, where another car delivered him to St. Vlas, a resort town on the Black Sea coast of Bulgaria, where Griaznov owns property.

> Griaznov stayed at his apartment for a few days before moving on to Varna, a Bulgarian city 60 miles north of St. Vlas. From there he flew on to Paris. During one of his beach-side dinners he got drunk again and let slip to the neighbors that he had a special assignment this summer in Paris to disrupt the opening ceremony of the Olympics. At first the neighbors were incredulous. That’s when Griaznov brandished his FSB ID, witnesses told The Insider. A few days later, Griaznov made his way to Varna and took a flight from there. Before flying to Paris, Griaznov made a call to his FSB boss and informed him that the operation was on track. Griaznov even said he’d recruited “one more Moldovan from Chisinau.”

It would be humorous if it weren't so serious.

The premium paid is the $20-50 that the TV manufacturer gets for preinstalling shit on their smart TV.

Which is why (currently) Vizio is my doge because it just turns on with ARC and shuts off when the Apple TV does so I don’t even know it’s smart.

The stupid Samsung (praise be to the toddler, destroyer of shit tech) wouldn’t even let you switch inputs without being connected to WiFi, or if it could I couldn’t figure it out.
This is really cool! I like the fact that when you navigate to a method/declaration/whatever, it only contains the relevant snippet, rather than opening a secondary tab with the whole file scrolled to where the definition is.

I often end up in a situation where I keep losing track of whatever method I'm reading since I need to compare where a method is called vs its definition, which is frustrating. I like that I can just "pin" the method to the side, and can glance at it without accidentally switching to scrolling through the whole file in the pinned view.

I tried it out for a bit and I found it a bit too mouse-centric unfortunately, and I quickly ended up in a situation where I had way too many floating windows to manage, especially once I got into checking out methods inside of other methods. It would be nice to have an arrow or line to keep track of what the "parent" window is so that it's easier to build a sort of flowchart.

Regardless of my personal issues with it, hope you succeed with this! It's great to see alternative ways of thinking in this space, as I often feel things could be better but it's also hard to imagine how.

Isn't this game with the given conflict resolution rules just broken? But forcing conflicts feels like a way to cause a game to become a draw. Imagine I move my queen next to the opponent's king (with no defense). My opponent's only legal move is to capture it in the next move. Let's say I don't like my chances of winning, so I just keep on trying to move the queen away from that square. Every such attempt results in a conflict, eventually leading the game to be drawn.

I see the argument is that it didn't enable more extraction from human resources.
So utterly Russian. No games for me, none for you. See also arson attacks in Germany earlier in the year.
Tangentially, this line of thinking has become very commonplace in the US.

People will wait in drive-thru lines that take twice as long as parking and walking in for coffee, food and even school/daycare/camp dropoff/pickup. It's baffling to me but, on the upside, I'll gladly pick up their slack and be in/out twice as fast.

Public transportation is not wide spread or serious but even in the places where it is an option (NE corridor), people often rather spend an extra 20/40/60 mins in a vehicle (theirs or a rideshare service) than use public transportation.
That is not the case. The initial Western reaction in the weeks after the event was:

- Russia did it as a false flag operation to sow distrust between NATO members.

- Russia did it because the long term contracts for Nordstream 1 required them to supply cheap gas, whereas they'd get market prices for the remaining pipeline of Nordstream 2.

It is remarkable that all Western agencies have backed off from both claims.

I'm specifically saying that some of the people moved to the suburbs for racist reasons. See for example "blockbusting", as a way to profit off from fearmongering to white homeowners, and encouraging movement to the suburbs.

These racist reasons included ones the new suburbia dwellers would have described as "wanted peace", making that quoted phrase one which requires additional scrutiny.

It is a classical logical fallacy to go from the reality that millions of people moved to Levitown-like suburbs for the perceived peace of its racially restrictive covenants to infer that all people moved to the suburbs for that reason.
Just because your decisions were necessary to lead you to a bad outcome, doesn't mean you're not a victim.

Carrying FSB ID on assignment abroad?

Yet many other cities are able to provide free public toilets, including ones much much poorer than Berlin. Perhaps it's not really a matter of Berlin not being able to do it themselves.
Each has significant advantages - it means you do NOT need a state-certified scale for transactions; you just count.

It was obvious that that Target had never priced anything per pound before (it had just been remodeled to have a supermarket) and an employee fat-fingered the label. But the cashier had no recourse and I wasn't going to fight it hard.

(The same Target also had some clearance steaks for like ten cents a pound because they were close to expiration because none of the customers were expecting a supermarket in their target and weren’t buying perishables.)
This is cool - I haven’t really thought much about the spatial organization of my IDE before. Reflecting on it now, I realize I don’t even use the tabs in VS Code anymore because I have way too many files open. I just look at one file at a time, and when I need to switch I use Cmd-P to search or jump between recent files. Works well but requires me to keep the names of files/directories in my head all the time.
As in the mention in the article that the Algol-68 compiler for early Unix only supported a subset of the language!

Not an expert here, but something I didn't grasp from the article was, how much of the improvement came from running multiple cores, and how much from Rust being faster than Python? Granted, those two things may be intertwined.

>> On a daily basis, I am among people who fantasize about killing liberals, or anyone perceived as liberal, indiscriminately (also LGBTQ, or insufficiently religious).

A liberal just shot at a presidential candidate recently.

>> Rather than actually try to solve the problem of homelessness, they just want them to magically "go away", or die (they don't seem to be too concerned about which one).

I'm pretty sure none of the democrat run places ever solved this problem.

>> This is what I see daily. Is it any wonder I have a dim view of Conservatives?

There are endless streams of liberals protesting, destroying property, arsoning and attacking people of different convictions and I still don't think liberals are bad people.
If this effect was controlled for, I couldn't read it in the article.

I was looking for a section in the article which said "we uncovered the true grades by blindly grading assignments, and compared them to the non-blind grades to quantify the bias", but no such control was worth carrying out?

Richer kids do better. There are simpler hypotheses than teacher bias.
Yet it chose not to read beyond the first sentence :-)
German genocide of other nations consisted of exterminating weak people and forced labor for the strong. They integrated people with "Aryan features" into their society and we're slowly getting rid of the rest.

Soviets exterminated scientist, priests, doctors and officers - the very people who could fight back. They integrated poor and weak. Their idea was to melt the remaining people into one nation. This is a form of ethnic cleansing.

Both Nazi and Soviets had the same goal - to take over the world by killing the people they didn't like and integrating people they needed. They just had difference of opinion in show to achieve their goals. Fortunately they didn't succeed, unfortunately it still resulted in millions killed by both sides.

If this is true, I don't understand the actions of Russia's government in recent years.

I doubt their goal is to be universally reviled, so what's their real objective?

As much as I'm tempted to think they're just being full-on assholes, I assume they're being more strategic than that.
Related to the mastering your IDE, stop reaching for your mouse for every action. The devs that I view as the slowest in my org, it's always watching them drag the mouse around clicking for their next action. Scrolling a file tree looking for a file instead of fuzzy searching the name.

Yes, conflict blocking moves makes no sense in this variant, since you can block checkmate indefinitely unless the opponent angled their pieces in a way which prevents all king moves and intervention from other pieces which would be very rare.
Nope, they operate more or less in plain sight and don't care. They know that they worst thing that can happen to them in the west is expulsion or a jail sentence.
> Arson attacks are actually an extremely French phenomenon, over 1000 cars are often torched a night on New Years Eve

As far as I can tell it happened twice, 19 years ago and 4 years ago. I wouldn't call it a "common" occurrence.

Now, 1000 cars or 700 cars doesn't mean much, one would have to compare it to the amount of cars in France. For example, more than 150 000 cars burn each year in the US (probably not just arson, but it's not my point) which is 500 per day on average. But there are more cars in the US than in France.
Not that I agree with GP but there is a lot more to freedom than "the decision was made by a vote". "Freely chosen policy" is not inherently the same as "free policy", it's just (often) a good ingredient. Of course there are plenty of countries which can't seem to get any aspect of freedom down so your comparison still holds true regardless.
yeah sounds about true. french newspaper also said hamas was russian yesterday. I guess I got a power outage yesterday too. must be putin.
Most of the time, climate change activists support trains and therefore would probably not disrupt the network, especially in France.
What instructions did you give it for the bio? It tries to decode a rot13 email address (and gets to a recognisable point) but then says "no bio provided". I can't figure out what it's trying to do

Also, thanks a lot for attempting to put it in decoded form on another website. If I now get spam on that address, at least I know whose idea that was and that it's not yet spammers who got this clever, but rather it's due to well-meaning hackers with an idea: the most dangerous kind! :P
Not sure why you so desperately try to find some moral justification for advertising, having the skin in the game like many in HN?

Its literally manipulation of those who have money to spend them on product they otherwise wouldn't, has absolutely 0 relationship on quality on the product (in extreme cases it goes directly against it). Word of mouth, unbiased reviews (yes, they cost something to keep the interference away but save you tons of money and time down the line). Its 2024, we are more connected than we probably should be. Manipulation always = lies, it doesn't matter how you wrap them around. We all have moral compass (barring sociopaths/psychopaths et al), and we all have opinion on such behavior.

Sure its like nuclear armament, once one does it many feel they also need to do it. But its purely emotional business on both ends (customers and companies feeling the need to pay for ads), where literally the only person truly winning is the advertiser (something about selling shovels during gold rush). Mankind as it is only loses, I don't see any way its morally justifiable. Even having less services say online available for free ain't a losing proposition if you look at long term damage of advertising.
I still prefer to have both: Considerate people and public infrastructure to make make sure good behavior does not conflict with convenience.
These prices make sense when you consider that the bulk of the cost of providing Zulip to you is not the cost of the compute and storage and bandwidth - those are fairly minimal.

It’s the cost of the developers who fix bugs and keep the product moving forward. Those cost a lot more, and you need them regardless of where your instance is hosted.
If I had to take a guess, I'd say they probably just drank their own Kool-Aid and routinely fall prey to overconfidence.

It might as well be dogfooding, but to me that seems a bit too, hm, say, intellectually honest for what is basically a PR move in a hype market.
Feels like winning to me. Feeds into my hunter-gatherer complex and every cent I keep from them gives me great satisfaction. Though, you are right, it does get old but then my defiant and vengeful nature kicks me right back into.

I know it doesn’t matter to them, it matters to me and it’s a win and winners keep winning, right?
Not sure but it would probably depend on advice from his astrologer.
I doubt these planned and coordinated attacks on infrastructure are carried out by the same individuals that opportunistically burn cars during New Years Eve.
