I was intimidated by these math books, but I was able to find a lot of interesting stuff in "Applied Discrete Structures" by Al Doerr and Ken Levasseur[1]. I was attracted by the "Logic" section, and I was not disappointed. You can download it for free from their website.

> The industry predominately rewards writing code, not designing software.

The sad part of this is that code is absolutely a side-effect of design and conception: without a reason and reasonable approach, code shouldn't exist. I really think that the relative austerity happening in industry right now will shine a light on poor design: if your solution to solving poorly understood spaces was to add yet another layer of indirection in the form of a new "microservice" as the problem space changed over time, it's probably more likely that there was an inherent poor underlying understanding of the domain and lack of planning extensibility in anticipation. Essentially, code (bodies) and compute aren't as "cheap" as they were when money was free, so front-loading intelligent design and actually thinking about your space and it's use-cases becomes more and more important.
Similar story for me. After using Macs for years, I drifted into Linux-land, and it took me a while to realize “Oh, wait, Macs are UNIX now” and jump back in. Been very happy since.
A tidbit from the 2007-2008 crash: I was banking with a Credit Union in Silicon Valley at the time of the crash.

I would go into the bank once or twice a month and the teller-line had a cork-board on the wall to the left, and the CU would post a Line-Printer style balance sheet of various financials they reported on for reasons because a co-op credit uninos transperency bylaws (Im assuming thats the thing) required it...

I used to lok at it each time I was in the brankch because I despise banks and their inner workings (my mother was in wachovia/wells fargo commercial loan executive when the whole fraud accounts, and other bad things, BCCI Iran Contra Khshogghi, Keating Five Savings and lone, PPE loan scandal and tarp, and goldman sach - you get the idea)

Anyway, the one line item I always looked at "OVERDRAFT REVENUE" Where it was in the ~$20,000 to $40,000 prior to the crash, at the peak of the crash they posted $500,000+ every TWO weeks in overdraft fees from the members of the credit union.
With 5th & 8th graders, my chief concern is the perceived anti-Western slant that the schools my taxes support have apparently subscribed to of late.

If I lost my cofounder (who isn't a migrant) I would be devastated and probably wouldn't produce much of anything for a year or two.

If they were from another country and I didn't even have any of my cofounder's family around, just a big gaping hole where they used to be... I'd probably quit and go find a job somewhere else so I could stop thinking about it.

It's only a sign flip when the detector and emitter are perfectly in phase. Adding delay causes the required phase shift will drift slightly. Also note that the phase offset of a delay is frequency dependent, so this drift will be as well.

Another reason is that devices and materials have different frequency responses, so an external signal needs to be filtered to match the levels in the device.

The hard problems at most companies whose solutions could move the needle the farthest tend to be cultural. Sometimes we make gains in that direction as a side effect of introducing the right technology. Those cases are exceptional: technology is rarely sufficient, and as you say, often not needed in the first place.

Easy, get a Lenovo Thinkpad and buy a replacement US keyboard for it on eBay.

Never during the last 20 years living in two different European countries we ever had any issue getting a Lenovo Thinkpad with US keyboard layout.

Lots of European programmers use US keyboards by default because of obvious coding advantages of this layout.

MIFARE DESFire is an option. In a genral public reseller, I found 100 DESFire cards sold for 146€ (tax excluded), while 100 of the equivalent versions as MIFARE Classic are sold for 109€ (tax excluded). This is a differnce of 37 cents by card, MIFARE Classic are about 25% less expensive than MIFARE DESFire. I guess the difference increase with the quantity you buy at once.
To be fair, the headline should read, "Tax receivers will get $4.7t less over the next decade and tax payers will get to keep that money." It's not like the money will be lost. It will just remain in the hands of the original earners who will, presumably, spend it according to their own desires instead of entrusting the tax receivers to spend it. Again, the money won't disappear.

I did and it was incredibly alienating. I will make sure my kids don't have to go through that.

And I'm not claiming they were ubiquitous, just that they weren't so niche you'd only see them in schools or on the desk of a graphic designer. They had something like a 5-10% market-share in the US. Anecdotally, that played out in my community as far as I can tell (e.g. 1 in 20 kids having a Mac at home sounds about right). You didn't have to go anywhere special to buy them, but the store might have 20-30 PC models on display with 2-3 Macs.
MongoDB is not a drop-in replacement for a CockroachDB.

By social cohesion they probably mean social cohesion. Assuming the worst creates noise (and is explicitly against HN rules).

The fact that two people from some pairings of cultures don't socially cohere as well generally, on average than two people from the same culture shouldn't be a controversial thought. It's demonstrably a non-negligible issue. I've seen it undeniably harm teams and make everybody basically miserable, first hand, three or four times. Of course if one uses that fact to attempt to spread hatred, then that is a problem.

The noteworthy thing is that OpenAI is reporting it. They’re signaling that they are proactively monitoring and investigating this activity, and that they’re willing to work with federal agencies while self-policing their negative externalities.

This is all part of an ongoing conversation with lobbyists about “safe AI,” and it’s ultimately done to show that OpenAI is making an effort to mitigate the risks that regulators claim it creates.

But there’s also another signal, which is what they’re not broadcasting: “ChatGPT can be used for propaganda, it works in Persian too, and we’re happy to sell to the DoD.”

Helen Keller is a counterexample for a lot of these myths: she didn't have proper language (only several dozen home signs) until 7 or so. With things like vision, critical periods have been proven, but a lot of the higher-level stuff, I really doubt critical periods are a thing.

Helen Keller did have hearing until an illness at 19 months, so it's conceivable she developed the critical faculties then. A proper controlled trial would be unethical, so we may never know for sure.

Supply chain and logistics. We’d start to see where the biggest risk points were and use that to diversify risk and also rank failover. We could make predictions about how the supply chain would be disrupted based on individual suppliers/movers/warehouses/etc having events that affected their ability to perform. You start to see how much some suppliers rely on each other, etc. Holy hell did Covid make that crazy!
This news about RFID vulnerabilities really highlights the importance of rethinking how we secure access to critical systems, especially in industrial environments. At Siemens, we’ve been working on a solution that addresses these exact concerns.

I’ve developed Unified Air, a new technology that allows factory workers to authenticate to production machines using the biometric sensors on their mobile devices—eliminating the need for insecure RFID cards altogether. Not only does this method enhance security by leveraging unique biometric data, but it also streamlines the authentication process, making it both faster and more reliable for operators.

If you’re interested in a more secure and user-friendly alternative to RFID, you can check out more details about Unified Air here:

No, I said there's nothing that exists right now that's theoretically better. Typescript isn't. It'd be great if TS's type inference were smart enough that it basically takes no additional dev input vs JS, but until then, it's expensive to use. It's also bolted on awkwardly, but that's changing soon. Could also imagine JS getting some nice Py features like list comp.

Also, generally when people complain that JS won the web, it's not because they prefer TS, it's cause they wanted to use something else and can't.

Never used Elm, but... no variables, kinda like Erlang, which I've used. That has its appeal, but you're not going to find a consensus that this is better for web.

> Tax is for us working-class slobs.

If you are a worker, it is essential to protect any monetary assets you have in a tax haven.

The rich don't actually need tax havens that much, because most of their profits come from government subsidies or other money tricks and fakery. As a worker, you don't have access to free corruption money like them, so better protect what you have.

Tax havens are equalizers, just like people have called guns equalizers. It is much cheaper than what most people imagine to set up accounts and companies in tax havens, it is accessible for any skilled worker, unlike almost everything else that the elite gets to enjoy.

I suppose the expense, and the risk in relying on employees, is gonna be quite relative to the organization and its priorities. I wouldn’t imagine setting up a log monitor with some basic monitoring should be that expensive. As someone above mentioned, it’s kind of odd that these systems are so utterly disconnected to the broader IT protocols in so many places. I use a few different RMM solutions that could almost certainly handle the log collection, analysis, and real-time monitoring with alerts and I don’t think it’d take much time/effort to set up. The most critical point would simply be maintaining healthy access controls and avoiding the potential for new potential vulnerabilities.
