I've been going through that very video lecture series the last couple of weeks. Good stuff. And in the lectures he mentions a number of books. I looked a few up on Amazon, and then looked at the associated Amazon recommendations, and so far have this small list of books related to Maths history that look worth reading:

Mathematics and Its History (Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics) 3rd ed. 2010 Edition by John Stillwell

The History of the Calculus and Its Conceptual Development (Dover Books on Mathematics) by Carl B. Boyer

A History of Mathematics by Carl B. Boyer

A Concise History of Mathematics: Fourth Revised Edition (Dover Books on Mathematics)A Concise History of Mathematics: Fourth Revised Edition (Dover Books on Mathematics) by Dirk J. Struik

Introduction to the Foundations of Mathematics: Second Edition (Dover Books on Mathematics) Second Edition by Raymond L. Wilder

Mathematical Thought from Ancient to Modern Times by Morris Kline (3 volume set)

The Calculus Wars: Newton, Leibniz, and the Greatest Mathematical Clash of All Time by Jason Socrates Bardi

There is also a "thing" in mathematics that is sometimes called the "genetic approach" where "genetic" is roughly equivalent to "historical" or maybe "developmental". IOW, a "genetic approach" book teaches a subject by tracing the development of the subject over its history. One popular book in this mold is:

The Calculus: A Genetic Approach by Otto Toeplitz
Looks amazing! Definitely gonna have a look.
Normal E.coli doubling time, which means about half the speed of Vibrio natriegens. I use NEB turbos sometimes, but they still don't bring down the liquid culture time down from overnight to within a day, mostly.

I would want E.coli to sporulate because then shipping and distribution of strains is a lot easier. This was a problem back when I was shipping at FreeGenes and still is a problem. I used Bacillus subtilis to make the sporenet protocol which worked, but the vector backbone switching was pretty painful.

Clinical strains == not necessarily GRAS. Also, they're clinical, so regulated by MTAs, which are a big no-no.

I could make the E11K purB mutation, but why would I go through the effort in an inferior species of bacteria when I can invest my time into something like Vibrio natriegens? The payoff is better at the end.

There is a nice topological proof which gives a more direct and visual understanding what solving by radicals means. It is quite short but might take some time to absorb the concepts.

Why not? Doing that with historical figures is pretty much what happened in the Superman movie when having his parents as teachers. It can be done with respect and honorably, in my opinion.

So, I am writing in defense of checks. Not because they are "best"but because the represent an option that fit certain use options. If anyone has good options to Quickbooks I would like to hear. I just do not trust the mainstream financial payment system.

I am a little older (50s) living in an elderly environment. I am a full time caretaker for a senior parent. She still writes the checks for those bills that we pay with checks. A personal note my mother worked in the federal reserves check clearing department for about ~40 years. There is the full disclosure.

Who has a log file they wish would go away and how often do you look at it. For mission critical stuff (personal finance in the modern world) I want to be in the loop. Not only because it is so enjoyable[1] but because it can truly affect my life. It should be a much larger part of early education.

Paper checks are easy to use with paper record keeping (or spreadsheets). Accounting is a skill. Keeping track of a checking account is at the low end of the skill set for accounting and automating things often leads to ignored logs problems. Also, automating things in a way that the consumer is still in the loop cost money (Quickbooks and similar or if free, what is the product). [2]

I do not trust the financial industry. I remember when customers still rented phones from Bell Telephone. It was easier to catch and cancel with a paper invoice. New service agreements and fees are easy to apathetically click through or just not see or appreciate.

There is a host of rural issues to address. As passionately as I would like to continue I should do some actual work. This is written with good will to all so pleases forgive anything offensive. I look forward to hearing other opinions.

Life is hard as a default. Adding new/extra life skills should make things easier. If "going paperless" suits you please do. Do not dismissing other options because you do not want to take those paths. Gardening to supplement diet is enjoyable[3]. I recommend it (for those with the resources, when it suits). The same can be true of checks.

There are ways to do this that are sleazy, slimey and sneaky. And there are ways to do this that are genuine. What and how you communicate to potential customers matters a lot. But this is one of the best way to develop startups.
You are essentially saying that some people oversimplify and equate traction, GTM, and PMF.

As you note, lack of PMF can be a reason why there isn’t traction, but it isn’t the only reason.

You can have a good GTM and good PMF and still have poor traction for a number of reasons.

Ultimately failure or success often comes down to traction, which is all of GTM, PMF, and customer retention/expansion working.
The reverse problem exists too: Something could have insanely high levels of X, but for engineering reasons our tests for X aren't very good, then it gets falsely downplayed as "It's just 5 times higher than the minimum detectable level."
>Executives have a fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders, so if these actions are more profitable, they are legally required to perform them.

Zero percent of this is correct, and even if they had a legal responsibility to make "as much money as possible", which they don't, that would definitely not force them to commit crimes

The "fiduciary responsibility" is NOT "to make every dollar possible", it is a "don't purposely hurt the company" rule.
i guess someone needs the power to enforce the law. But for someone who isn't even on trial? that feels like a major oversight if they really do have that power.

I found it helpful in some of my University math classes when I actually took the time to read the biographies that some of the textbooks included, the classes when I skimmed past them I did not remember details of the proof formulae for. But I don't know if this says more about the aid of history to the process of remembering or about my a priori interest in the topic for those particular classes.

For a really good example of integrating the history along with the mathematics, and much more accessible than those math texts, I would recommend "Journey Through Genius" by Dunham[0]. It may be a little dated (published in 1990) and its focus is limited to algebra, geometry, number theory, and the history is perhaps too Western-biased, but it's good and it's short. Its material would make a solid foundation to build on top of because, in addition to the historical context, it shows a lot of the thought process into approaching certain landmark problems.

It's actually quite likely something else (unless it's just an excuse to reap short term savings): in a company large enough, deciding to shift staffing from one area to another is hard. As an executive with thousands of staff, you can tell your management team to each cough up a certain number or (somewhat) suitably qualified people. But again, if large enough, incentives diverge, so you don't necessarily end up with the top talent you thought you needed for your big new thing.

An "easy" solution is to do a layoff, then open roles elsewhere, allowing for selection.

It's commonly practiced across the large companies in the industry.

This comment is shockingly misguided.

The IRS doesn't have the authority to mandate the creation of a secure national ID system and enforce it's use by the financial system. Only congress has the ability to really do that. The IRS collects revenue.

Even if it did have that authority, it doesn't have the budget to accomplish that goal.
Point was more that there are bunch of compiler related books featuring a dragon (and knight/other character). The original also has a different looking dragon & knight themed cover for every edition.

Like if I’d see the book on a shelf I would instantly guess it’s related to compilers. And I bet that’s completely intentional homage to the original.

Not disagreeing that it can be a form critique, but it's true that a product built for one audience may not work out, but sold differently to a different audience may be a hit. It also may be the wrong thing for every audience.

The idea of testing an agent with annoying situations, like uncooperative people or vague responses, makes me wonder if, in the future, similar approaches might be tried on humans.

It would essentially be another form of a behavioral interview. I wonder if this exists already, in some form?

It doesn't really matter because, as the dominant world power and arbiter of the world's currency, the US can invent legal grounds to do pretty much anything to anyone.

The US government is so powerful, they are the only country that enforces a draconian global taxation scheme on any citizen or person who has ever held a US green card, even after they permanently leave the country. The US treasury will withhold the ability to transact in US Dollars from any country that does not report the holdings of US-adjacent persons every single year.

If you think you're out of reach of a country that treats their own citizens as criminals by default the minute they leave the country, I have some swamp land in Florida to sell you.
That was a common clause that I encountered while researching the licenses for software with similar distribution models to the one I was targeting.

As far as I can tell, stipulating that end users must be running a validly licensed OS helps protect the licensor (me) in situations where a cracked OS with malware corrupts my software or compromises the whole system.
I do not agree in the general case. There are very useful DSL compilers which do not consider performance at all, but just compile to a target which does the optimization for them (JVM, LLVM IR or even just C)

Also true for Zinc. I think half the reason the supplement companies do this is that the oxides are also physically small, so they can get a given dosage in fewer/smaller pills. This is especially true for multivitamins.

Yup, I've tried many years ago to follow this work (special cases for even and odd exponents!), with a mix of analytic and numerical integration. IMO linear/tent filter is sufficient. Also more recently there's the Linearly Transformed Cosine stuff, which is most of what people usually want in realtime graphics.

Ideally you also want motion blur and probably some other effects, so IMO it just makes sense to use a 2D BVH and high efficiency Monte Carlo importance sampling methods.

The phones do lots of things, and a lot of them well, so overall satisfaction doesn't mean that App Store pricing is satisfactory, nor fair.

Apple forbids developers from itemizing pricing and telling users how much Apple takes, interfering with informed consumer choice.

The cut is well known on HN, but I'm not sure that most users are fully aware that they're overpaying 10x on transaction fees, and the major consequences that it's a cut of revenue and not profit — the developer takes all the risk, and needs to cover all the development costs from their part, and can be even in the red, while Apple has a guaranteed profit with a guaranteed margin from every sale. Apple can be easily making more profit than the developers themselves.

Retail check, in my experience and these days, is no more than scanning the check and often the clerk will just hand the check back. It is not a mode of payment for me any more but I see it now and again in my rural area. Sometime it is hard for the clerk to give the check back to the customer. The check image as written appears on the paper bank statement. I do still write checks for credit cards it keeps me in the loop and makes me think about the finance (I do not have a roomful of accountants working for me).

Another common cause is that the code you were looking at wasn't actually the code you were running. Between "I added this line and then I removed this same line, and now it works", the executable might have been recompiled.
Evernote used to be such an amazing product, and the company had such an amazing opportunity to be the de facto standard for personal and shared notes.

Boyer/Merzbach "A History of Mathematics" [0] is a tome in that vein. It spends a lot of time discussing the (mind-boggling, to a modern-mathematics-educated reader) methods that ancient peoples used to do real math (e.g. for engineering) as a way to motivate the development of the features of modern symbolic mathematics.

Yes.

The flap created for LASIK (and LASIK-like surgeries, such as SMILE or LASEK) heals, but doesn't have the structural integrity that occurs when the epithelium has to fully regrow like for PRK. So that flap becomes a semi-permanent weakness that can be dislocated down the road and cause problems.

In general PRK is still considered the safest laser surgery option, but trades off the long-term risk of the epitheium flap for a much longer initial post-op recovery time. With PRK you have to be careful that there's no hazing as the epithelium regrows, but once it's regrown it's as good as it ever was. So for folks with a high risk of future eye injuries, PRK tends to be preferred (or required, in some instances like the special forces).
What it states is correct and it gives you a good overview over what you do in a Galois theory course. It does, however, not give you an idea of why this is interesting. When just reading that article one might get the idea that some mathematicians just had too much free time.

I tried to motivate the questions leading to Galois Theory in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41258726 in a way that is hopefully accessible to more down-to-earth programmers and engineers.
> Human labor is a cost to society.

Human labor is the primary pillar of society and has been for all of human history. Services cannot be utilized without capital, capital cannot be acquired without labor. Remove labor and all of it falls apart, which is somehow acceptable to classes whose resources provide escape and comfort when "society" collapses.

Society isn't just a bunch of people going to a football game, it's the totality of human interaction centered around their commercial interactions.

Elysium is not a society anyone with less than billions of dollars should be advocating for.
I don't think thats what they meant by namespaced deploys. I think they meant an entire copy of the environemnt contained in separate namespaces.

How do you handle requests going from service A to B and then to database C vs A2 -> B -> C2?. How does service B know to route to a different database based on the version of A thats different?

I think a production grade compiler not only can, but must, leave performance on the table when the cost is correctness (unless the performance gain is incredibly high and the correctness loss is minimal). Correctness is not all important, but it is the most important thing. Unfortunately, compiler writers do not agree and they do silly things like "let's assume UB cannot ever happen and optimize based on that".
> enforces a draconian global taxation scheme on any citizen or person who has ever held a US green card, even after they permanently leave.

That's not quite true. If you _return_ your green card ("abandon it"), you no longer have to pay taxes. This makes sense as a parallel to being a US citizen, who would pay taxes even if they lived abroad.

I'm not saying it's right, but we need to be accurate.
