Except for some reason rather than saying this is obvious, many claim it's not true.

I agree that the biggest criticism of this is that it's obvious, but the amount of cultural pushback is what makes it semi-interesting to say in the first place.

Someone linked this article to me on Twitter with similar ideas:

Unfortunately your assurances don't mean much because neither one of us has experienced the other's struggles and so neither of us is equipped to make an objective comparison.

I can tell you that up through high school I watched my fellow introverts get shamed and bullied for being quiet and awkward, but I never saw someone get bullied for being too outgoing.

I can tell you that all my life (including in this very comment section) I've had people explicitly tell me that if I just tried harder I'd learn to like social activities because humans are just wired that way, but I never heard anyone say that if a highly social person just tried harder they'd learn to like a quiet weekend at home.

I can tell you that I've only started receiving promotions and recognition at work to the extent that I've been able to feign extroversion, and my more introverted colleagues who aren't as good at faking it don't do as well.

None of that—being bullied and belittled and passed over for not being social enough—has ever felt like a middle ground to me, and there's not a lot that you could say that would persuade me to view it that way. It's easy to think of the status quo as the middle ground when it's comfortably on your side of the line, so I'll need more than your assurances to doubt my own experience.
Nice, does this mean we can have const-generic accesors now? I.e. &s->somefield and get a const pointer if s was a const pointer, but a mutable one otherwise? I guess we still need to define two functions though, but that can probably be handled by macros. This is something that really hinders use of const in current C.
You're probably right. $10 million might be metaphorical.
I think there is "anti-masonry" and what I suggested as skepticism. For example, nepotism and cronyism aren't de-facto bad (e.g. a father handing the family business to his son or a person hiring a trusted and loyal friend). But if someone is a member of the "cronyism promotion society" and they write an article extolling the benefits of cronyism then that opinion ought to be digested with a large grain of salt. It is worth pointing out that there are some negative aspects to cronyism, just as there are negative aspects to secretive initiative societies.

At it's core, this article is a stealth motte and bailey argument. It points out the benefits of guilds (where there is a legitimate argument to be made about skill transfer and quality of work) to support a deeper ideology about hierarchical structures of society. If one wants to make the argument that the ritualization present in free masonry is a net benefit to X, then present that argument directly.

Fascinating, the takes I've seen from most historians was that polycentrism was actually likely to be Europe's undoing because the Mongols were the best to ever do it at recognizing that armies weren't as united as they first seemed and, before the fight, made deals with fractions to get them to stand down (and then kill them later) and, during battle, taking advantage of split command and breaking ranks.

I don't think that there was really anything that could stop the Mongols at that time because they had Chinese siege engineers to deal with fortifications and plenty in the way of "normal" soldiers but I'm happy to read the argument. The strongest case I've heard against them was that away from the steppe the conditions that produced hardy soldiers with their talent for shooting started to fall off.
Lack of generics didn't prevent from creating many useful projects in Go such as Docker, Kubernetes, Prometheus, Terraform, etcd, minio, Caddy, Traefik, and many others from the list at https://github.com/search?q=language%3Ago+stars%3A%3E10000&t... . I haven't heard of useful Go projects, which couldn't be written because of lack of generics before Go1.18, and which have been created after that. Also I'm unaware of useful projects, which benefitted from generics in any measurable way.

The website says that your vote is last-write-wins. I think the idea is I could sell my vote and vote for A, then later re-vote for B. Since you can't trust that I won't just re-vote it won't be worth paying for.

But if you held a gun to my head and made me vote at 18:59, with polls closing at 19:00, then I guess it would work. Hell, if you held a gun to my head and had me vote a week early and then blew my brains out, that would probably also keep me from voting again.

So it's not complete, but neither is the current system. You could hold a gun to my loved-ones head and tell me to go vote for B in our current system. I could photograph the ballot from the box, cellphones are small these days. Or if I vote by mail I could easily prove to you I voted for B so you would let the hostage free.

So I guess it actually is an improvement over the status quo.
When I tried it, the response felt somewhat canned. Referencing as specifics only my place of work and the number of followers (I don't have a bio). Getting super generic praise does not feel that great.

It's a fun project (kudos for launching!), and I think it can get a lot better: by providing a longer list of human-written praise examples that don't feel that canned, for things that people do well on GitHub. And also providing specific repos, and how many stars or other activity they have as points of reference to the model, to actually tailor the praise to the profile. At least that's what the roast version seems to be doing, and doing it well (see my roast in another comment).
In its current form without at least requiring balanced enclosing brackets, dropping the semantic check will make _Generic a new macro expansion system worthy of a dedicated round of obfuscated C contest.

> It's unfortunate that a UI layer ties you into a particular programming language

I think it is unavoidable that it ties you to a programming language paradigm. For example, it may assume the existence of booleans, reference counting, garbage collection or of multiple inheritance. If your preferred language doesn’t support them, that will make the bindings look uglier than needed.

Conversely, if your preferred language supports them, but the API of the UI layer doesn’t, the bindings will look cumbersome in places where using those features looks natural.

So, what you end up with is either plain C (ugly for everybody, including C programmers, even they may not want to admit it), C++ or the JVM, or something like it that looks fine for C respectively C++ respectively Java programmers but feels strange in some degree to others, the more so the less their language ‘feels’ like C respectively C++ respectively Java, or COM/SOM/CORBA, which claim to be language agnostic, but don’t do that for the feel of an API.

I don't know where you're voting from, but most of my adult life I had long queues to wait in - granted I was an expat crowding an embassy's corridor - and even if I don't have to work that day, I can think of better things that I could do with my time than that. And it's not all about me or you, it's about all the people that do have to take a day off even if it's a holiday, and the people that don't live next to a polling location, and about the people that are on vacation and need to vote in a train station or air port. There are always people inconvenienced by the act of physically going to a ballot station. Electronic voting would help them.
> were you insane enough to actually write something useful and publish it you'd just be feeding the LLM's to directly compete against you with your own regurgitated work.

If LLMs need the publication of useful writing to compete with it, then they won’t be competitive without it. In other words, there is always incentive to publish writings that aren’t something you would otherwise be able to get from an LLM.

In addition, LLMs don’t necessarily pick up on a single publication. Their training is more shaped by patterns and concepts espoused by a large multitude of publications. This also incentivizes the publication of novel original thoughts.

The web isn’t dead at all. The web — HN being a great example — is also an entirely different way of content discovery than
prompting an LLM.
The Ground with Groups Creating Wildlife Corridors
A SF -> NY round trip direct flight costs $362 and emits 554kg co2e according to google flights. The price of carbon by various emissions trading systems vary from less than $10 to almost $100 per tonne[1]. Of course, you could argue that such systems aren't fully capturing the cost of carbon, and therefore using prices for those systems would be an underestimate. Direct air capture literally extracts carbon from the air to sequester underground, which provides an upper bound on the cost of carbon. Climeworks says it only costs around $600/tonne today[2], with them and various startups claiming they can get it down to $100-$200 in the future. Taking all those numbers into account, here's how much airline fares would increase if carbon cost is factored in:

cheap ETS ($10): 1.5%

expensive ETS ($100): 15%

future DAC ($200): 31%

current DAC: ($600): 92%

Of course this doesn't factor in the cost of the electricity used to power the trains, which would at least partially be from carbon emitting sources. Given that, and the fact that building high speed rail is fraught with uncertainty and cost overruns, the highest fare increase you could plausibly argue for is the "future DAC" figure. This may be enough to advocate for banning air travel for short to medium length journeys, but I doubt long haul flights are going anywhere.

Oh definitely, but where I live in this small European country, large SW companies with internationally distributed teams are not really a thing, it's mostly local small and medium enterprises where the whole company teams are under the same roof. Not every SW employer is a large multinational.
That switch port took a lot of effort as someone has already commented, it is absolutely not standard impact.js.

Source on that? That was a crooked vote, but it doesn’t really make sense for the Russians to send people door-to-door threatening people to send in coerced absentee ballots.

I assume they instead did the more normal things of local voter intimidation, outright not counting, and lying. If your government doesn’t want to follow democracy you’re fucked either way. No need for armed gunman to make you vote at gunpoint.

In exploration terms I suggest considering typical serious desktop users file taxonomy, most after at certain amount of time choose a timeline taxonomy of some kind simply there is no much easy way with files and folder to collect and access data, even with {sym,hard}links.

Essentially time passing is a common thing for anything, all of the rest quickly became dirty or at least have some dirty dump of information here and there. Long story short it's a nice potential continuation of the experiment start taking notes in timeline, storing files in timeline and figure out how to make "dynamic hierarchies" that works well in this model.

I've done something myself with Emacs/org-mode/org-roam notes, with kind-of daily notes and file attachments, it's not perfect nor general but scale a bit. A filesystem approach it's uncharted but seems to be equally possible.

>Why does it matter that they operate at a loss?

Because if it's massively subsidized by the state, and air travel is still competitive (at least for some journeys), I doubt high speed rail is good enough to fully supplant airlines on its merits alone.

>Does China subsidise its air industry like other countries (jet fuel is duty free in the UK)

Why is jet fuel being duty free a "subsidy"? High speed rail is powered by electricity, which as far as I know doesn't have duty applied either.

Pi is transcendental but computable.

For an introduction to real real analysis is an old book typically called the 'Baby Rudin' Principles of Mathematical Analysis by Walter Rudin.

It is tiny and expensive, as most college math text books are once you get past a certain level. No idea if there is something better now, it is from the 1950's and there are used copies in most used book shops for cheap (or there was). It has no definition of 'equals' but does have a concept of equivalent relations.

Dummit and Foote's Abstract Algebra book is a great reference, especially with the problem with AI pollution. Coming from a General Relativity background, it still took me two years to work through on my own.

I don't know any suggestions on a more modern approach of starting with type or category theory.

I am not really interested in constructivist math, it is a problem to get around for me, so maybe someone who is can chime in on a better path.

While not rigorous, this paper does a good job at explaining just how muddy the concept of 'equality' is.

How do people find these novel publications?

Seems it's the age of social, 1:1 subscriptions like substack, patreon -- creator economy.

That's fine, but in this ecosystem, there's no need to publish things publicly, right?

Public publishing is for search discoverability. If the end game for search is instant answers, then both the engines and the content creators dont benefit one another. To your point of it only mattering in the aggregate training sense.

So public content discovery by index is dead.

Exactly like you said KittyCal started as a “toy” so I designed it as a private space for couples didn’t think much about integrating existing calendars. Also KittyCal intentionally gives up hourly scheduling so any event created would automatically become a full-day event if synced to external calendars.

I normally phrase this in a much more negative way: a "framework" is simply a "library" that does not place nice with others. It's good to hear a sensible positive phrasing for once.
