Like A Little has completely taken off at my school (Washington University in St. Louis) within the last 2 weeks. It's fascinating to see such explosive growth in action.
Also needs a page listing all the times that someone said that something wouldn't work, and they turned out to be correct.
Basically that's the mood in the industry for the past 5 years or so.

I am using a 31" Cine 4k 10-bit monitor and barring the very latest M.2 PCIe SSDs, I can't even get realtime playback of uncompressed 14-bit RAW 4k@24fps footage on a top-end system (60fps is a sci-fi). Not to mention a top-end NVidia GPU won't allow me to smoothly run any recent game in best settings in 4k or UHD, experiencing occasional signal drop-outs while driving 4k x 2k @ 60Hz via DP or miniDP with expensive cables, slow progress of CPU performance improvements since 2004, and indeed it looks like it might be the case 8k will be the final digital TV resolution unless some dramatic technological change occurs. Cinemas with their large screens seem to be doing just fine with 4k.

My 55" UHD TV shows noticeable improvements only when I stand closer than 1.5m, subconsciously I have a feeling of a better picture quality under 3m distance while driving 4:4:4 UHD@60Hz from a computer via HDMI 2.0 (YMMV)
Nobody else is calling you on this, so I will.

You continue to assert that his disclosure is causing "extra suffering and death". Your entire premise is based on this assertion. So, with all due respect, I'm asking you to fucking prove it. For months, nobody from the Press to the DoD to the White House has been able to demonstrate a single harm caused by these releases, but perhaps you have some information we haven't seen yet.
> File structure doesn't adhere to PHP league standard [https://github.com/thephpleague/skeleton] All PHP code should be in src directory or tests directory.

The PHP League Skeleton is only for packages. On the other hand, you use Laravel to create full applications so it's not applicable.

Even if somehow the Skeleton is so good its structure might be used for applications, we're under no obligation to follow PHP League's rules because they're just a private organization, not an authoritative source for standards such as PHP itself or PSR standards.
Yes, or more accurately there is a frequency of climbing outings at which the marginal increase in satisfaction from an extra climbing is no longer sufficient to justify the increased risk.
There are two points of view on the cause of the 20th century media trust.

One: The media aspired towards neutrality

Two: The media was consolidated and Overton window kept so tight average people couldn't find contradictions.
> It expands the definition of property by institutionally conferring the status of "owned" to a functional configuration of bits distributed over thousands of computers

Do Visa and Mastercard count?
I hope this technology ends up being an utter failure, because it seems way more useful for DRM than for any legitimate security. After all, the entire premise of it is to help devices keep secrets from their owners.
That is amazing, and congratulations! Do you mind sharing some more info on the cancer type? I thought most malignant brain tumors didn't have outcomes like this.
> But for friends, if I mutually added someone as a friend, I want to see 100% of their content by default

Yes, that's what we all want - but it's what Facebook aggressively phased out and then outright removed years ago. It's not coming back.
I played with RedwoodJS over the holidays and there is a lot to like. However it does paper over a lot of complex things with fairly leaky abstractions currently. Expect to have to understand how GraphQL, Prisma, and React work whenever you encounter something that doesn't quite work.

This is not uncommon with most frameworks in the early days. I used Ruby on Rails since just before 2.0 and it was similar back then.

But the team behind RedwoodJS is great, and there's a nice community on Github, Discourse, and Discord. So I'm expecting great things.

Plus it's nice to have an omakase approach to learning all of the new frontend tech and getting something working quickly.
"Normally" it is in an area where you have some advantage. Being in tech, we do have an advantage. You had the opportunity to know about crypto before anybody had any clue what you were talking about as well.

As a developer, I started using AWS when it was just E2C (or was it S3 first? - whichever), but again, you're seeing things before most people do or before they become big.

It's more about "noticing" than it is about reading prospectus and quarterly reports. Yes, you'll want to look at those as well, but only when you think you've noticed something that looks promising.
Is there a virtual goods bubble?
This upsets me a lot. I'm in my 30's and I was still allowed to ride bikes around the neighborhood, go to the store for snacks, etc. with my brother. I don't understand how kids can develop a sense of exploration without these opportunities. Hopefully it's still possible to develop it during the teen years.
my understanding is that GCP has recently changed their startup programme. I applied a few weeks ago, and had the same bad service as the OP.
AWS does not suspend your AWS account if there's an issue with you Amazon account. AWS reps are contactable and dare I say it capable of escalating and resolving issues.

The idea that someone could use a stolen credit card associated with an account, buy something on some Google service, have a chargeback processed as fraud and that would trigger Google's suspension of services on GCP is absurd.
> Such pundits also ignore the inconvenient fact that many Muslim majority countries often have very old Christian communities yet the same is not true of Christian majority countries. I wonder why?

What? Muslim majority countries with old Christian communities are because Christianity spread widely in the Middle East after 0 AD, until 7th century AD when Islam came around. Of course there will be residual Christian communities there. But the Christian majority countries became Christian before 7th century AD and were able to halt the spread of Islam post 7th century (Europe), or the country was colonized after the fact by previous Christian countries (USA, South America) where Islam never made it.
Our vaccine effort is a perfect example of this. We got heroic, efficient results in developing vaccines because the requirements were so clear.

Distribution is much, much harder!
I work at an engineering firm and that is so true. All the schooling and a professional engineering (PE) certification that if a mistake is made with your stamp on it results in you personally not being able to practice for a long time or never again. I see these young, brilliant engineers working on really cool stuff that I also work on, but I am not an engineer. I am self-taught, never finished my physics degree, and went and did whatever job struck my fancy: welder, machinist, IT (been coding since 1978 on Commodore PET 2000), project management, museum art handler, underwater hydraulics and electrical work (senior manager at a water show in SE Asia), ropework (just did a 300 foot drop inspecting a facade, and I am 56 now), entertainment engineering, owned my own design/build shop doing animations, displays, events, stage, TV, etc., 3D work in Prisms (now Houdini), etc... I followed my bliss as J. Campbell would say. Yes, sometimes I was earning way lower than my potential, but I gained knowledge and experience. Besides, I have been making a very good salary starting about 15 years ago. COVID has pushed me to setup a smaller version of the rapid-prototyping, mechatronics, design/build setup I once had, except now on a desktop scale as a side interest, hobby, and potential income earner. I know why the others stayed at your company. I had offers for silly money overseas, but when I saw it was a bunch of networked, low-producing, cocktail-party chameleons who I could not learn from, or enjoy their company, I passed. Life's short. Do what fulfills you and still supports you and your family. Your needs adjust when you are happy!
So since bitcoin is up right now, we're just going to see nonstop attacks on the fact that it's not climate friendly with its energy usage? Feels like this is the sixth article I've seen on Hacker News in the last month.

From a quick skim this article seems like it might have some good data, but it also has a bunch of loaded language in it that turns me off from wanting to read the article.

"Bitcoin and other PoW coins are an ESG nightmare"

"This paper looks at the energy consumption of seven proof-of-work-based anarchic (public) blockchains such as Bitcoin and Ethereum." (You know how anarchy is bad right, well we're going to say these are like anarchy, so they're bad too.)

"Many Bitcoin promoters conjure a future world...[where Bitcoin is king and leads to renewable energy]" (they're like spellcasters, this future doesn't really exist, they're trying to pretend they will create it out of nothing but they never will!)

"Putting aside the continual greenwashing that many advocates are guilty of" (You know how whitewashing is bad? Well so is greenwashing! I'm saying these people do that and that means they're bad!)

"The container ship fetish is a slight-of-hand[sic] trick..." (These guys have fetishes and fetishes are bad, also they're using slight-of-hand and tricking you, and tricking people is bad!) Also the writer misspelled 'sleight'.

If they wanted to change minds the writer should have used more neutral language in their sentences. You can be persuasive without resorting to this. I'll sit down and read it a bit later, but not feeling like trudging through all this loaded language.
Perhaps GitCoin should be a thing.
>It's at least a step away from "everything can be predetermined with physics".

You'll never get away from that. We are material beings, made out of the same material as everything else in the universe and hence subject to the same fundamentals laws.

>If I could perfectly predict your actions (with a physics model), most people agree free will is impossible.

If that's the case, there should not be a problem. Even in a fully deterministic universe we'll never be able to run a simulation to predict the actions for anyone anyway. You're a product of not only the actions of the trillions of particles that make up you, but also of the countless of particles in the environment over your entire life-span, that of your parents, your grandparents, all the way to the big bang. We'll never be able to simulate the trillions of particles that make up any specific body, much less that body's environment using fundamental equations. So if predictability of particles is how you measure free will, then we have free will.

Things get muddled a little because we may be able to get a 'good enough' prediction of someone's behaviour just by analyzing his/her neurons with a fMRI or something. This is akin to the difference between knowing tomorrow's weather EXACTLY by simulating every particle of the atmosphere vs. knowing the weather tomorrow to some degree of confidence by analyzing higher-order patterns like air pressure, cloud coverage, temperature etc.

So your definition is too weak. Most people would say we don't have free will if we live in a universe with deterministic laws. Whether anyone can actually use those laws to predict your actions is not that relevant.

>It doesn't mean free will exists, of course. It's just less improbable?

Not really. Think about, let's say every decision you made was determined by a (quantum, full random, totally unpredictable) coin toss. That doesn't get you one step closer towards a libertarian-type of free will. Sure your actions are, in principle, much less, predictable to those around you, but that's not the yard-stick we use to measure free will by anyway. Your actions are already unpredictable in a deterministic universe anyway. You merely traded being a slave to deterministic laws of physics to being a slave of random coin toss.

Second, it's an open question how much quantum randomness actually affects your day-to-day actions. Quantum effects are only pronounced on very small scales. At the scale of groups of atoms, molecules and cells, Newtonian physics, chemistry, and biology, and neurology can be substituted without loss of precision.
That assumes no adjustment in earnings, though. What will the labor supply/demand curve look like when you don't have to live in SV?
I'm not sure I understand why adjusting for primary residence ownership would make it "a more realistic measurement of wealth".
The TSA "officers" do not have arrest power and are forbidden by policy from using force (to perhaps perform a citizens arrest if allowed in state for a state law violation), so they really don't have the ability to take anyone into "custody", hence calling for local police.
I would agree. I have used https://wrapbootstrap.com/ to buy a theme to develop a bootstrap-based site for my wife's speech pathology business. I also ended up integrating Google Analytics, which was also extremely simple.

I really like the single page applications. Here is the one i designed for my wife (http://www.socialability.com.au)
I wanted to stop reading immediately upon seeing the subtitle start with "Technically incorrect." Then I saw that's the column name? Terrible choice.
I am not saying that you are fooling yourself, but

The mirror image is that we aren't fooling ourselves, we've just been able to rise above our heavy inculturation to such fear. An inculturation that you're still stuck in. That seems plausible too.

That's meant in good humour btw, my point is really that speculation that other people disagree because they are in denial, or ignorant, is pretty tempting, but usually not very helpful to discussion.
"You" die every moment, and in the next moment a new "you" arises. The "you" now is different than the "you" five minutes ago- cells have been born and died, you've exchanged particles with your surroundings, your thoughts have changed, and so on. There is no "you" in the sense of an unchanging "being." It's impossible for "you" to exist for more than a moment.

On the other hand the "you"s that have arisen have left an indelible footprint of their existence on the universe. It's impossible for those footprints to go away. They are immortal.

That is not to say it is irrational to grieve your (our) unavoidable lack of being "alive," but it helps to understand clearly what we are grieving. It's not the ceasing of the existence of "you"- that happens every moment. It is the lack of the next arising.

These are largely Buddhist thoughts FWIW.
Pretty sure that's still a live debate, unfortunately.
How are these "failed"? Just looks like a nice set of demo purpose apps to me
That's really cool and must have been a lot of work collecting and testing code.

Can you talk a little bit about the intended business model, which apparently did pan out?
I tried to like Infinite Jest, but I just couldn't get into it. What am I missing?

(My original snarky thought: If you have the willpower to finish reading Infinite Jest, dealing with addiction will be no issue...)
Given that the MIPS (introduced in 1981) had integer operations with traps on overflow, I find very strange this reasoning.
If you check the numbers in the link (or alternatively use common sense), you'd realize that the carpenter doesn't actually see a good chunk of that money.

The wages are listed as $40/hour, which turns out to $80k/year before taxes, which in the peninsula is not exactly a ton of cash.
I am on Bsnl, it's blocked here.
For me it's Next.js + postgres, using TypeScript.

I've been building projects in React since around 2016, and Next.js just makes the annoying things go away (static rendering for SEO pages, image optimisation, code/bundle splitting, page routing, etc).
Sure, I don't think Adobe would pursue this and you could just try and stay anonymous to most contracts. But you can't do that to all your payment obligations, so I thought "don't talk to collections" might be a dangerous advice to give out for others. Strictly following that could lead to real negative consequences in some situations.
This plus workspaces works well even on large screens.
It’s not in bad faith. The example you gave is emblematic of where the cultural differences are.

Porn addiction may or may not be a problem but a puritan society only makes it worse. People freaking out about “what if a young’un sees the genitalia of the other gender” are, without fault, part of extreme puritan societies like the USA.

There is a similar problem around alcohol addiction and without fault, you’ll find that people have a much worse relationship with alcohol when their first introduction to it is a massive party for their 21st. Anecdotally, my first taste of alcohol was red wine at 12 (I’m French and it’s pretty common here). Today I rarely ever drink anything.

The problem in that equation is not the availability of porn, it’s the taboo around sex.
Can you elaborate? All three seem to have done well.
"There's a picture of me in the Bitcoin blockchain, can you get it removed?" would be a fun litmus test for these folks.
I've watched a good number on YouTube. They are generally longer-form, and get into some more detail. I find them quite enjoyable, but I think you may be disappointed if you go in expecting a lot more depth. I don't think you want your sister telling you that's how she keeps in touch with American news (hypothetically speaking :)
Your first sentence is quite a claim. Do you have evidence that this is what enables structural inequalities and broken paradigms? Maybe it would be more reasonable to say such internal monologues help perpetuate these things. It seems to me that the structural inequality comes from first.
I find the author's point to be a very disturbing one: If we really pay people fairly, I won't be able to afford all these cheap consumer goods any more.

The "idea" of location based pay for developers is that you an have the same standard of living in Boise on less salary than in London. Whether this is true or not is subject to debate.

But what's not subject to debate is that, as you say, Bangladeshi garment workers do not have a standard of living that is okay. What do we do with the fact that our (in the USA or UK) cheap clothing comes at that "price"?
Public schools have to take in everyone. And this means the kid sitting next to your child could be a druggie or have a vile temper or tempt your child to ‘go down the wrong path’

Schooling is more than grades. It’s a place ones children disappear for about 8 hours and you can’t have access to them or what influences them. Private schools = a little bit of control you can exert on how one would want their children to be educated. This is especially true for religious parents.
Yea, i really don't get so many of the comments here.

If i live in a low COL area and i apply, why wouldn't i want the competitive advantage of being able to charge them half as much and make twice as much profit as my competition?

People outside the bay area can make a good living charging well below crazy SF rates.

This isn't even an argument to me. It's not even a discussion. Of course when you have a pool of talent, and that talent is competing for a single job, they will use every tool possible. If you can work for half the price of some SF guy paying massive SF rates, why wouldn't you use that tool?

Yea sure, i could make $200k a year - that would be neat i suppose, but it's insane imo. The number only exists because of SF specific problems. And i'm not in SF.
The two source links in the article: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2007-11/msg00460.html and http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GCC_Plugins

The article as a whole is terrible with a conclusion that really doesn't follow from the rest of the article. The only good thing about it is that gives me hope that I could crank out a website over the holiday break that is computer written articles based on links and get advertising dollars.
How do you explain countries that have had stricter, longer lockdowns than the USA having a hire mortality rate? It is almost as if lockdowns do fuckall
I think this article is missing a decimal point: the archive is 12.4GB, not 124GB.
Exactly. I've generally not been excited about the idea of industrial policy targeting OSes beyond App Store limitations, but at this point I feel pretty strongly about its need. The absurdity of this is getting a wee bit out of hand.
> Process is the toxin low-effort thrives on.

I'd argue it's even more sinister than that; too much process can very quickly cause engineers to burn out, and since they aren't reprimanded in any serious way for not doing much work, they can sit and feel depressed without anyone even addressing it.
I backup all files on the computer onto three DVDs, using compressed tape archives.

Some files are public, and some of those files are also backed up on internet, e.g. fossil repositories are also mirrored on chiselapp.
I am. Cycling in the city is dangerous.
Asking from an engineer perspective, how do we define meaningful metrics for designers?
> What part of this statement says 'team player' to you?

The part where each member of the team is trusted with their own time management. I will also not interrupt you when you are working, because I respect you and your time.

> The whole part about working as a team-player is that solving their problems is your problem, because it is the teams problem.

Yeah, no. The team has problems so we divide the work. Each of us takes ownership for some small part of it. Asking for input from teammates is fine, that is the responsibility of that owner. But that doesn't mean they can interrupt someone to get it. To be an effective teammate you need to earn the respect of your peers and interrupting will undermine that trust long term. Obviously I want my coworkers to solve their problems because we all work toward a common goal and of course I provide input to help them do that.
Did you ever receive complaints that your emails are ending up in spam folder for Gmail/Outlook/<other big email provider>?

How about you receiving a lot of spam emails?
More context that didn't really fit in.

Like I said, I'm free to WFH as I see fit as is. I probably averaged WFH less than one day a week, but sometimes it was as many as 3 days.

I've done remote work for ~3 years for a few companies. This only worked because their expectations were significantly lower than my capabilities, so I was able to coast through with ~2 hours of work per day.

As my role has increased, expectations have risen to match my capabilities. But I strongly feel like I only have those capabilities in the office.

I really don't think you have a very good handle on what you're railing against. Especially because at the end you conflate diversity in FOSS with criticism of Linus' attitude. This just reads like you have a really big axe to grind against your reading of feminism.
And if he doesn't change his behaviour, which is increasingly deemed unacceptable, we should continue interacting with him and pretend it is acceptable?
You still need to blur objects that should not be in focus or you’re going to get mixed depth information.

Why is the overhead component more valuable asset?

Every checked in baggage means less cargo on the plane, which is lost money for the airline.
