Even if EU’s QoL is on borrowed time, at least it has it for some time.

Ask HN: If you were to relearn math today, how would you approach it?
No matter your math background, how would you approach learning math again? Are there things you wish you had done sooner? What aspects of your personal math journey were impactful enough that you would definitely include in your relearning roadmap? I would like to hear everyone's thoughts and opinions.
Depends on the game, but usually turning up the FOV to much higher than most defaults will help a lot. But screen size, etc. will have an impact as well.
Not necessarily.

Tbh I’m in favor of holding C-suite responsible for the actions of their company, unless the company has extremely clear bylaws regarding accountability.

If, say, a health insurance provider was using an entirely automated claim review process that falsely denies claims, I think the C-level people should be responsible.

Very lopsided support. US and allies offered heavy munitions, HIMARS, Jetfighters. What did China give to Russia aside of FPV drones, Holosun optics and Baofeng radios?
I'd say if China also sent Type 99, PCL 181, PCL 191 and scores of AEWC drones then it's all over.
The supreme court sure did take power away from the executive in Sacket v EPA, Ohio v EPA, and Biden v Nebraska, but it's likely that reasoning only applies to liberal presidents for the 6-3 conservative federalist society majority.

(Not related to the sculpture, just a bit of pedantry.) I appreciate the attempt to render the name of the locality in the present-day local alphabet (Czech), but the diacritic above the 'e' in "Vĕstonice" is wrong: the letter is "letter e with breve", but should be "letter e with caron", giving "Věstonice".
Isn't this a sculpture rather than portrait. Maybe "bust" sculpture. Portrait to me means a more two dimensional representation.

Pretty cool that this didn't deteriorate over thousands of years even if it was done in bone.
> If someone leave Scientology, they're shunned by the rest of their friends and family who are still in Scientology. Not the same for Catholocism.

Not officially across the whole church, at least not these days, but it certainly happens in some small subsets of the Catholic community and has happened in larger subsets in the not-to-distant past. Any large enough religion tends to develop localised sub-cults.

Stepping away from the Catholics and considering other Christian groups, it definitely happens in small-town America. While there is often some extra factor (daring to be different in some other way), there isn't always, and when there is the extra factor is usually framed as being against the religion or its deit{y|ies}. Sometimes the extra factor itself results in ostracisation from the local church community, so people end up in the same position through a different ordering of the same steps and/or different levels of voluntaryness.

Whenever I'm able to take two consecutive weeks off of work, it's like my brain STARTS the process of healing, and I begin to see a glimmer of hope that I could actually enjoy programming again. But then it's right back in, and the burnout and overwhelm is back immediately.

I realize I need to take extended time off work at some point before the burnout becomes much harder to heal from, but it's just never a good time. This year particularly feels so weird and uncertain.

We are all ignoring the obvious solution to this. One of the benefits of being a global hegemon is having close allies who are good at things we are not.

Intel fell behind on semiconductors and now Phoenix is turning into an outlying suburb of Taipei while the children of TSMC engineers are making the local school district look like magicians.

All the US has to do is subsidize one of the Korean heavy conglomerates, probably Hyundai, and get them to start pumping out cargo boats out of say Louisiana or Georgia with the promise of a government buyer. This problem goes away by 2032.

My understanding is that the definition of cult requires a common object of devotion. What's that object of devotion for "society"? it's too large and diverse of a group to categorize it as such IMHO. I agree however that sometimes people will categorize anything strongly deviating from the norm as cult-ish.

> They needed the loan for reasons.

One of them being that El Salvador lost affordable access to the international bond market for a good part of the past years due to higher country investment risk, there were multiple reasons for that that are too long for one comment.

Some for the consequences have been:

The government switched to funding their bonds locally, including a good chunk of the local banks deposits which then the banks had to refinance to a longer longer term.

The government has been taking a good chunk of the pension funds with no interest paid back. Few details about this deal are available because the pension fund administrators and government supervisors have stopped publishing most of the financial reports for months.
You mean like when corporations downsize and bosses / managers fire employees, we say that “immigrants / machines / overseas people etc. took their jobs”?

But when corporations grow we say it was the corporations that “created tons of jobs”?

In societies that want to promote capitalism and corporatism the everyday language we use reflects this promotion.
Yep. I feel like we should probably be taking more of a "you're one of today's ten thousand!"[0] approach to this thread. I think this person is probably just actually unfamiliar with the history of public interest reporting on government.

I'd say it's about 2-3x at most, in the best case scenarios. When I have to write some kind of wrapper or glue code on a green field, I approach that factor. And I really love using AI code completion in those kinds of task.

However, writing that kind of code maybe makes up 5% of my work. Analysis, trial-and-error, discussions etc. make up the other 95%, and AI only seldomly helps with that. It can sometimes be useful for research and spec ingestion, but it quickly becomes dangerous in those cases because as soon as you enter any kind of niche area (and unfortunately my work has a lot of those) LLMs tend to hallucinate and present made-up "knowledge" with enviable certainty.
Interesting article albeit a bit dated at this point.

The person makes a good argument that the rule of law doesn't apply to the powerful, and nothing has changed since then. As with any argument along these lines, inherent in that argument is an indictment that we no longer have a "rule of law", and inherent in that is instead we have a "rule by law", as any other dictatorship might have.

Many educated people today understand that the major benefit society receives from a functioning rule of law is through non-violent conflict resolution. Some argue the primary purpose is for this, and for you to have the former, there are a few components that must exist; None more important than equality under the law.

Would company leaders engaging in criminal acts at these levels continue such criminality if they knew that by doing so they would win so much that they lose?

Many times in history, when the rule of law breaks down, vigilantism occurs in what people have come to call the brass verdict. This is not a good thing, but it does happens when the rule of law fails and the abuses are great.

Would a psychopath operating at those executive levels still do as they did if they knew the consequence might be their lives?, they'd never know beforehand for sure; so most likely they would but still its good food for thought to know about these things.

If we can't correct the underlying broken systems, the alternative has happened throughout history.

> But can that also make them more gullible?

Oh definitely. They often don't have the experience to question what they're told or see the holes and deceptions in it. For instance: they'd be more easily fooled by a fake deadline. Or in this case, they may trust and follow their leader like a little zealot, even when he's wrong and doing bad things.

I'm pretty sure Torvalds is the one who decided to add Rust to the Linux kernel.

> I was expecting updates to be faster, but part of the problem is that old-time kernel developers are used to C and don't know Rust. They're not exactly excited about having to learn a new language that is, in some respects, very different. So there's been some pushback on Rust.

In the U.S. in 2024, 32% of adult Americans reported being the target of workplace bullying[1]. Nearly 3 in 10 women (29%) and 1 in 10 men (10%) reported being subjected to debilitating sexual, physical or psychological abuse by their partner[2]. This means that 1/3rd of workers do not feel safe in their workplace, and a significant number of people don't feel safe in their own homes. There is no way these people are going to put anything on their faces that obscures their vision - not a pair of glasses, and not a giant headset. Until these numbers come down, VR and AR will never, ever go mainstream.

> The 132 applications were submitted in envelopes with “identically formatted return and address labels,” the complaint said. Each listed a real residential address in Pinellas County, but bore the name, date of birth, and social security number of what appeared to be a fictitious person.

> Officials said there were also several other red flags, including that none of the applicants had middle names, multiple shared the same date of birth and nearly all of the addresses listed appeared at least twice within the 132 applications.

> Due to the unusual nature of the voter applications, the Supervisor of Elections ultimately issued rejection letters to all 132 that were submitted.

This was not meant to transform into "windows vs mac, which is better". But I happen to have used both, recently, and can tell: no, Windows got closer but is not quite there on the "having a shell" chapter. It still has too many, and too different. Powershell.NET is powerful, but is also "alien" to many people - you have to know .NET! Scripting is meant to be quick & hacky, not "real software that needs a release cycle", and in that sense Powershell.NET, while miles better than whatever MS previously had, still misses the mark. You know how you can tell? Because it works perfectly fine on Mac, but has 0 adoption there.

WSL2 is... ugh, ok, much better that WSL. And actually decent. But, as the name implies, is a linux environment. Not a native Windows terminal.

> a few companies started making Windows laptops that weren't bricks

I am honestly, genuinely interested in a windows-based laptop that is as good as a Macbook Pro (or at least very close). Would like the flexibility to move away from Apple. Am interested in battery life, compute power (i.e. internal processor speed, ssd speed, memory size, decent gpu), screen, keyboard & touchpad, and overall build quality (the last one is almost guaranteed if it is close in quality on all the other dimensions).
VR is still kinda iffy if you have a Quest; it's possible to get a Quest working but definitely more difficult than most users would tolerate. I believe "normal" PCVR headsets (Valve Index, Bigscreen Beyond, etc.) should work pretty well though.

I'm under the impression that trump is doing exactly what at least 51% of the population want him to do. He campaigned on dismantling the wheels of established power in DC.

EDIT: To expand on that Idea there is the exact apposing view that Biden was doing the same thing by the people that voted Trump in. But as we all know the media prefers one candidate over the other. Trump is the grenade that is supposed to destroy the power structures (the so called Deep State or permanent bureaucracy) in DC.

Awesome! It's interesting that there's still (what feels like) a lot of overhead from determining whether the thing is cached or not. Maybe that will be improved before the release later this month. I'm wondering too if that's down to go.mod parsing and/or go.sum validation.

I'd also note the distinction between `go run example.com/foo@latest` (which as you note must do some network calls to determine the latest version of example.com/foo) and simple `go run example.com/foo` (no @) which will just use the version of foo that's in go.mod -- presumably `go tool foo` is closer to the latter.

Another thing to consider about South Africa is that wealth inequality is insanely high; it seems very plausible to me that most money is spent on like the rich 30% of population, and the majority of the country is basically on Namibian levels of care.

Public healthcare expenditure is also likely to be wasteful; governmental corruption and languishing infrastructure is a comparatively big problem there (compare power infrastructure, rail network, postal service), so the pure dollar value spent on healthcare is systematically off.

Thanks for the link btw-- I would not have expected such a clear trend in this, especially given how noisy metrics like life expectancy are; very interesting.

Radar's useful for finding ships.

Radio's useful for telling the planes where those ships are.

Even before radar, night missions were a thing (even in pre-radar WWI, a little). It's rarely completely dark out.

And as a bonus, supplies have to be loaded and unloaded, which tends to take time. The day comes eventually, and the loading points on the other side of the lake would've been well within range.
The long probation approach completely ignores the very real costs of onboarding someone new.

It takes time, money and people to bring someone in, and hiring is actually quite a risk for many companies (unless they're huge and/or in a hiring frenzy).

If a candidate doesn't work out, that's a lot of time and money down the drain, and potentially lost work, and disruption to teams and timelines, etc..

Most people don't get this part, and I think that's why they don't understand why interview processes are structured the way they are.

You really want to do the best possible evaluation, on all fronts, at the start. The longer a bad candidate stays in your pipeline or company, the more expensive and disruptive it gets.
