I am very aware of what idiots will pay for brand names, but that has nothing to do with any sort of inherent or quantifiable value a product has. I think we, as a society, need to get better at calling people out for being beyond irresponsible with their money. A Supreme block logo slapped on a $1.00 Gildan cotton shirt does not add $99 of value because ‘exclusivity’. Things like the meteoric rise and fall of things like Beanie Babies help illuminate this fact.

You can pay $700 for a North Face Supreme jacket that can be purchased for $120 without the branding... but you’re an idiot for doing so.

Ultimately, it’s just the difference between being financially intelligent and not - the financially smart people are selling the lemmings the products...

Edit, to add a complete tangent: I watched this video of a $100 vs $10,000 guitar today - do you hear $9,900 in price differnece between the 2, or is the value created elsewhere? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KDA9iw4po1c
“FAQ on LoadBear’s Instrument of Precommitment” is another excellent story-article with a similar theme. It’s about the published mindstate of someone who wants to be emulated, and who advertises that their schizoid personality gives them advantages as an emulated worker:

How does Arrow compare to Pendulum?
I think this ecosystem of re-selling is part of what creates perceived value and perceived scarcity.
The point being these are snowflake projects, only kept running thanks to some companies pay checks, the large majority of Linux users pays zero anything for desktop software.

Donations and patreon like schemes hardly allow to pay for a mortgage, supermarket, healthcare, transport every single month.
GPT-3? Pfft. I can do that in Python in 2 lines.

But...what if they don't know how? Hiring for things you don't know how to do, or why you would, is very difficult.
> you can fix that with any number of streaming libraries in strict languages

This is moving the goalposts a bit. Certainly you can do streaming in a strict language if you're willing to use libraries, but we're talking about language primitives.

> you just end up using a streaming library anyways

You generally only do this if you're interleaving effects with your streaming. I use guarded corecursion all the time, e.g. when I write an expression like

index = zip [1..]

Any strict language that supports something like `[1..]` has a lot more crap to deal with, and usually has to implement something like overloading list expressions to create iterators, which have their own problems.
I thought the responses here might be interesting but they boil down to "I've seen the Cyrillic script once, so I'm going to suggest that."
My other laptop is an HP Elitebook 1040 with a 14" screen. I'm also happy with that and it's what I travel with the most. It's a bit thinner and lighter than the XPS but less than an inch narrower. Compared to that size difference, the screen of the XPS feels a lot larger.

Something worth noting if you're travelling a lot: the power brick for the HP is smaller and lighter than the Dell's. Considering that you'll have to carry that with you, it should be part of the weight calculation.
Like 3500 lbs carry capacity.
Maybe because not many people have triplets? My parents had five children and never had more than one baby seat in the car at a time (they only ever bought one baby seat).
Which estimate are you looking at? The main thing I see is:

“PyTorch and TensorFlow for Production

Although PyTorch is now dominant in research, a quick glance at industry shows that TensorFlow is still the dominant framework. For example, based on data from 2018 to 2019, TensorFlow had 1541 new job listings vs. 1437 job listings for PyTorch on public job boards, 3230 new TensorFlow Medium articles vs. 1200 PyTorch, 13.7k new GitHub stars for TensorFlow vs 7.2k for PyTorch, etc.”

That suggests 1:1 for jobs, 2:1 for github stars and 3:1 for articles on Medium. Really hard to say if any of those reflect uses in production in any meaningful way, but if so, I’d suggest that the jobs and/or github stars might be more useful than articles on Medium.
Yeah, you can basically use the atmosphere as a chemical battery.

Also, a better example than heating homes with coal is aircraft. Long distance air plane travel is so far only doable via fossil fuels due to their energy density. And while you can run a electric line to a house and heat it with electricity, this is not possible for long range aircraft.

So the idea is you use hydrocarbons to run aircraft and then capture the CO2 produced and turn it into more hydrocarbons to run your airplanes. This of course requires clean energy source to work, but is perfectly doable. :)

Here's a better idea: require all hospitals and Dr offices to publish fee schedules in a centralized location, allowing the customer to price-shop procedures. Then there would be downward pressure on prices, and you could plan in advance of elective procedures.
I don't see how targeting children with an adfree product with the stated intention of turning them into lifetime Bing users (with ads) is improving on Google's creepiness.
I agree.

Also, my Facebook Friends aren't always my actual friends. I might not want to get into a long conversation about Aunt Bridget with my Lyft/Uber driver - I don't know what their feelings about her are, and they don't know what mine are. I might hate her guts, and they might be her best friend.

Very interesting! Though I will say "Resolution" is odd in its current state; e.g. you can easily end up with a resolution of "400 micron" that includes 50 micron printers. Maybe it should include a min and max? Or value has a plus sign, so it's "50+ micron," "100+ micron" etc.

It is possible to extend everyone the same courtesy yet treat them differently. Does it make sense to talk to everyone the same way when we are all different?

"Equally painful is when they treat me with a respect (deference) i do not deserve based solely on appearance."

I agree, that is a weird feeling
That 'drink coke' is an urban legend is my point.

There are instances in the real world where this has been attempted (The Republican tv ad campaign a few years ago that flashed the word "RATS" when talking about the Democrats for instance), but there is little to no actual credible evidence to show this works. It's all little more than marketers wetdreams.

I'm very happy to be with a company that has a standard policy of yearly 10-15% pay increases. We tend to do unexciting and sometimes just plain weird contract work for other companies, so my company has to pay us what we're worth to keep us around.

The development¹ has been continued by the community after Firefox removed support for XUL extensions.

¹Well, tbh basic maintenance is a more accurate term — the updates have been minor, and the patch that enables it in the latest version of Palemoon hasn’t been pushed to the addon store yet, you have to clone from master at the moment.
This holds up until you need to escape something.
Hey author here. Happy to answer your questions!
I see 24 APs other than my own just sitting here on my couch in a locale less dense than HK. So yes, agreed
...meanwhile, TMK, session managment proper APIs that were promised pre-quantum migration still haven't materialized. There still is no session manager that is on par to ye Olde Session Manager by Kraft (IIRC names accurately).

I hate that part of new Firefox, that loss of customization/-ability.
Not to mention that Nvidia cards don't play nicely with non-Linux (or OSX) Unixen in general.
@tasty_freeze But in that situation, I'm just one guy who lost a job. The stakes are not like that for this. We have two browser engines left standing, WebKit and Quantum, and the organization building Quantum has been angering their sole source of income. If they fail, they make headlines for a day, and then the web is a WebKit monoculture.

In this case, I get it that they have Principles. It's just that those Principles will kill them and what they hope to accomplish by those Principles in the first place. In this situation, I would still have principles, but I wouldn't be so vocal about it until I could stand on my own two feet and withstand the loss of funding.
Because Canonical’s response was “oops you actually found out.”
This is almost comical in a way, 2 billion USD company chooses to establish in Somalia as its virtual storefront. Not surprised it went wrong.
No one should be expected to go from eating in an unhealthy fashion to a healthy one, just as one would not learn to hold one's breath for three minutes right away. But there are those who try and get better, and there are those who try and don't, and there are some people who simply don't try. This drug is good for the second group. But is bad for the third, the people who will use this to continue eating badly, just with the consequences less visible. And I think it could also be bad for the first: by hiding the immediate effects of bad habits, it removes the encouragement to get better. The concern that this may allow people to maintain bad diets but not see the effects in the short term is a valid one.
This is an evolution of the story that first appeared on HN here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26082303
Again, the user's relationship was with Microsoft, not Canonical. Microsoft is the one who the user entrusted to protect their data, and they didn't.
Its an example of a risk with cloud providers that isn't talked about often or is ignored. For example, why doesn't WalMart use AWS?

Companies now leak alot of metadata about what they are doing. If a teeny company like Canonical is mining stuff like this, consider what Microsoft knows about how you use their products, and I'm sure your EA negotiation as a big company is at some level driven by what they know.
We have a few large (not large in the scheme of things, but large for MySQL) tables that we can't add columns to without locking the table for an extended period. In Postgres this operation is instant no matter the size of the table.

This not the only problem, but it is the most pernicious
psql is easily one of my favorite tools. What makes the CLI "horrible" in your mind?

Also, database/schema/tables is great when doing things like multi-tenancy where you split customers by schema (which also makes horizontal scaling super easy if needed).
A lot of offices solve this issue with “core hours” where everyone is available. I recall doing 10-3pm and beyond that everyone decided when they wanted to work.

You could certainly do core days too.

I am looking for a position as a mid-level or senior front-end engineer. I have 6+ years of experience working with various levels of responsibility as a front-end dev. For the last 3 years I've worked as a woodworker and programmer for my own company which has instilled in me the idea that there is a real cost and consequence to shallow decision making.

I believe I have enough maturity as a developer to balance the cost of writing maintainable software with the need to write effective software, fast. I understand software is inherently complex, and if neglected, tends to devolve into something very difficult. I also understand businesses and companies operate with limited funds, and that failure and collapse are always very real possible outcomes, and my own decisions as a developer can contribute to important outcomes.

I've been thinking about... The nature of complexity in software. What is the categorical difference between a program like "grep" or "gzip" and a program such as "LinkedIn" or "Facebook" that leads to such a stark difference in complexity. How do we organize a program like "Photoshop" such that it operates with the constrained complexity of something closer to "curl". How can we apply functional programming concepts to a domain that is largely event-driven and mobilized by effects? How can we reduce excessive "wiring" between components and increase modularity? How do we balance the need for "correctness" (typing, tests, refactoring, experimentation) with the need to deliver a product within limited constraints?

I describe myself as... Easygoing, reliable, flexible, adaptable, and a clear communicator.
Bitcoin itself isn't dead, but for some it is, if your play was to get wealthy off of it. For those who haven't been following it long, but who saw the rocket ship of 2013 and wanted a ride, it may be dead for them. I'm perfectly okay with that, as speculation usurped what it can really accomplish.
The content of this piece presents nothing new, and has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with "Ponzi schemes" or "redistributing wealth."
sooner or later the operating costs themselves will exceed the value of bitcoins mined.

For many people that is already happening, which is what the article is trying to say. cex.io and Cointerra already shut down.
It is possible to be both excluded and exclusionary at the same time.

right, but what if it is open source code? even though it's something the startup would use.

Also it's not clear to me if a minor can actually contribute to an open source project legally as they have to be able to accept a contract legally I would think.
Oof, consider renaming the project. Hyperscript is the name of an existing project[0] whose namesake is used to identify a specific JSX-compatible API pattern that is used extensively by several projects, some of which are fairly high profile (e.g. preact)

> Do you feel that [...] is a flashing neon sign?

Yes it is, but it doesn't say anything about the company wiping the phone negligently because someone in IT screwed up.

Also, it's rather like holding up a flashing neon sign saying "I'm about to beat you up" before you beat someone up. You might have made them aware of the problem, but that doesn't mean your actions are either justified or legal.

> What I find odd is that a company allows people to keep confidential company information on a personal device at all.

Exactly. If the data is sensitive, it should be controlled properly by the company using company equipment. That has been my argument all along.

To require what? If you mean an arbitrary wipe of a personal device that is not limited to company information, which is what this whole discussion is about, then I'm starting a new club for posters telling me about how there may be legal requirements that necessitate such a facility without actually saying what those requirements are, what laws impose them, or in what jurisdiction.

Exactly how does a DLP system help a company whose employees are allowed to use iPhones for company mail, when company mail is streaked through with protected information like bacon is with pig fat? People put network DLP systems on their perimeters, so they can catch data walking out the front door. Protected information is supposed to walk over email; people use it to get their jobs done.
While it might be a problem for some for most it hasn't been one.

iPhone users live on with a touchscreen keyboard because they have no choice. Most Blackberry users never migrated to the iPhone for that reason. Android users were caught in a temporary world where every Android maker tried to be like the iPhone, with the terrible choice of the onscreen keyboard, but thankfully that period is quickly passing, with great devices like the G2 / Desire Z and the Galaxy S Pro.
