It's not sad at all. What's sad is employers using an employee's love of work to drive their wages down.

If you make your money through labor, can we please please please quit talking about passion? It's not relevant, it should have no bearing on if you are hired, and it doesn't fucking matter if all you want from a job is money...that's completely okay.

So maybe let's quit looking down on people who go to work for moneys it's literally the only purpose of work.

Very cool! The GameBoy camera is an interesting piece of hardware. If you're serious about finding the origin of these photos, you might want to spread it around some Japanese forums - the UI of the first few pictures is in Japanese (ニンテンドー is Nintendo and ポケットカメラ is Pocket Camera). Plus, the V hand sign you mention is a common hand sign in Japan. Good luck!
Ask HN: How do you create resume?
Hi,

How do you create resume?

I used latex and word. But I found it difficult to adjust its format to add new items.

It there a good tool to create resume?
Is it bloat if it is required to make good app?
Transistors have always leaked. The main thing is Ion/Ioff > 1. The higher the ratio the better but with digital one can get by with surprisingly little gain and still get useful circuits.

Yep. There are way too many Power Point Rangers and Six Sigma Astronauts in that bunch, however. It's tough finding a good label.

The key here is that software is everything. It's not just an add-on to some orthogonal business model. Any more, software is the business. The tech skills are just as important as the rest of it. Most companies today are like a group of medieval princes whose job is to correspond with other princes -- but none of them can read or write. They kind of know what they want, but for whatever reason, they feel that it's beneath their dignity to actually make it happen. The way we treat development? It's as if we were to start hiring people to write our emails for us. And then complain at how correspondence is always so difficult.

Sorry for the rant. Thanks for the chat!
Sure, and the AFA has a pro-developer and pro-consumer side by reducing fragmentation. But I think it's important to understand that the open source aspect of Android is a small part of the story in practice for device makers. The narrative that Google is just "giving it away for free" is naive at best for the very reason you state: they're a profit-driven megacorp.

You could do that, I suppose, but the ability to pay back the loan and the downstream income potential of the graduate are likely to be very strongly correlated to the student's financial background (really, their family's financial background).

If you're wealthy enough, it basically doesn't matter what you major in while in college. But if you don't have a rich family, then it matters a hell of a lot. Students seem to already know this; at least when I was in school last, there weren't a lot of first-generation college students or immigrants in the liberal arts programs; the kids who were betting everything on their education were in the business or engineering schools, mostly. (Or sometimes preprofessional programs, pre-med was a big one.)
Yes, I know the UDL, and I'm a big fan. My high school team had absolutely no institutional support either (I called in "sick" to attend the Berkeley tournament), so I know how hard it is to compete with well-funded schools from the North Shore.

More generally, I think there is a turn away from this insane privilege in policy debate, and the rise and acceptance of UDL's are an example of that, as is K debate. The author of the article doesn't see the privilege or the turn away.
It is generally held that this is because of a rapid change in standard of living. If we were willing to live with less, we could have a job of only 15 hours a week. It would be interesting to compare standard of living to today and estimate how many hours would be required to meet the old levels.
Yes, I'm in NYC. I was typically at work for the european and US market hours during earnings season.

> I guess you were not in Europe

EU labor laws don't actually prevent those hours, if that's what you're implying. Most of my banking buddies in Europe work 70 hours.
An argument invoking an statement that is not falsifiable is immediately invalid. At least in sane societies, so help us God!

Funny. I just started reading these Very Short Introductions in the last year. They are a bit like "Que sais-je ?" series in France. I really like these small books that are bit like extended wikipedia entries, though the copy editing could be a little better to catch typos and whatnot. My favorite so far, "Astrobiology: A Very Short Introduction Book by David Catling". I am currently reading a VSI on the Silk Road. I have not been disappointed with any so far.

> The "negative" side of this is that sometimes debates were decided by who was a better orator or came across as more charismatic rather than which side had the better logical argument (though you could make an argument that there's value in that as well).

I'd think it's at least half the purpose of the whole thing, at least in spirit if not in practice ("spreading"). Otherwise the debate would just be two people submitting printed sheets of bullet-pointed arguments with footnoted references.

Both you and the author characterize the speed with disdain, as some cynical outcome.

I'm sorry but it's just what the most competitive people are capable of doing. When you practice, you can compete at that speed and it isn't JUST about who read faster. The efficiency and cogency of arguments is STILL EVALUATED at that level.

You can make 20 arguments: 15 bad ones and 5 good ones. A fast and competent opponent will spend less than 5 seconds on each bad one (usually because it's been implicitly answered elsewhere or because it's been contradicted by a higher quality / more recent source) and however much time they need on the good ones.

Now, I agree with your characterization of the difference between 'fast' and 'slow' debate. Both are valuable, both emphasize their own skill sets. And yes, people without tons of time or resources will probably get more out of 'slow' debate. But as someone who did both, I think you're painting a caricature of 'fast' debate, which is an extremely rigorous activity filled with incredibly smart people.
Is it just me, or does anyone else get put off by hyperbolic scientific news coverage? Even if the result is interesting, the framing of one result as representative of all unknown normal matter makes me not want to bother reading the article, it's hard enough splitting out facts from bullshit when you have a decent grounding in a subject, it's even harder when your knowledge is almost nonexistent.
>The massive political power of retirees in the US seems like a perfect example.

The political system isn't structured around them, they just manage to get their way a lot of the time.

Political systems tend to center around who has economic power (where to quote Dune "power over a thing is the power to destroy it").

Now. The GP point is, if in future thieves find ways to explore truck software and redirect the trucks then current statistics will change.
It's reassuring that you (GitHub) seem to have not only thought about the problem, but implemented processes to reduce exposure.
This author makes some good points. But I think he's making a crucial mistake.

He posits that political power comes from the ability to withhold something; in this case work. That seems correct to me. But, I think the mistake is in assuming that the majority of people today even in countries like the US do have that power. If you are working a job that doesn't require credentials or a long period of training or education, then you don't really don't have anything to threaten the powers that be with, aside from a massive general strike, which has not happened in a long time. So the danger scenario he posits is really already here, for most people.

UBI wouldn't really change that, except inasmuch as it would make it plausible for working people to go on strike much more painlessly, which would really increase their bargaining power, not decrease it.

And that's why we'll never get it.
uMatrix is defense in depth. They could solve the problem today, and tomorrow a new CircleCI programmer/marketer/CEO would decide that, in fact, they do care more about analytics than about user's secrecy, and revert this change.

By installing uMatrix and not approving these things, you are (a) reducing the probability that a mistake, misaligned incentives, etc, would harm you, and (b) get a notification that there's something you wish to block.

uMatrix IS part of the real solution. The other part is avoiding providers whose security standards are not up to yours.
I wouldn't go as far as OP, and I'm not saying the post doesn't add anything useful to the discussion, but in this particular instance it does feel distasteful and opportunistic. I'm sure this discussion around what other CI providers do would have happened with or without this comment. I'd like to have seen some restraint exercised in this case.

I look at in in the context of physical goods. Grocery stores processs their private label meats. The grocery store also sells name brand meats but those brands have to pay for shelf space. The meat is exactly the same, just processed by two different entities - one who owns the store and one that doesn’t.
Bootstrapping in a Nutshell: How to Select Your Next Business Idea
Too bad that all the "speculative VC dollars" seem to be in trying to jump directly to full-automation of multiple small passenger vehicles.

Now, I've never heard any public figure say this out loud -- so maybe I'm just barking up the wrong tree -- but I think the bandwagon is being pulled by a very particular idea about a market they can try to corner.

Specifically, they're thinking of a future demographic bump in people who are too age-impaired to safely and legally drive themselves. Folks who can't (or won't) pay another human to drive, or move to a location with better public-transit, but who still have enough affluence for a self-driving car.

IMO it explains the bubbly frenzied focus from multiple companies, despite the significant degree of basic research still required.

Humans will strive to rise to the top in any game we choose to play together.

Competitiveness like this does not require that people are competing for basic needs.

Free people from the Puritan conceit that the majority should struggle and suffer, and observe what happens.

Independent of how you feel about it in other respects, Burning Man offers a fine large scale experimental environment into which observe the social organization that occurs in circumstances of plenty rather than scarcity. (Because it operates on a strictly enforced gift economy. Not barter. Not sale. Never mind people who don't play by the rules for now; as a 25 year attendee I have seen first hand the reality behind the cant.)

Humans will "strive" plenty whether they are fed or not. There are more needs than the ones we can and should provide for all (housing, food, education).

Humans will always find a way to self segregate and award status, whether it's in terms of karma or dollars.

At a social level, dollars too are a consensual fiction and useful primarily as a crude proxy for status and success and desirability. (Not talking about utility, talking about social status.)
> I really wish there was some practical information course at compsci with these kind of tips to prevent the most common slippages

This is everyday Operations work. There is no school that teaches the eclectic mix of OS and container, networks and routes, app/db/code, CI/CD, BC/DR, writing KB articles, running standups and meetings, triage technical issues, configuration management, Change Control, and Incident Management.

These diverse skill sets are often called "Devops", but nobody makes a Devops degree. The only way to assemble this experience is while working to support developers.
It's only worth reporting "responsibly" if waiting might prevent users from being hurt. The way that concept has been manipulated into implying that the companies are owed an early warning is crap. The author doesn't owe CircleCI anything.

GAS is super easy to get (it’s JavaScript), but until you can execute scripts client-side, it won’t ever really take off.

It also has the same problem that VBA has in that the code resides local to the object consuming it (spreadsheet, doc, etc), so you can’t version control it like you would for a normal application).

VBA even has the advantage of being able to load .NET libraries, which is huge given that you can let the .NET VM do the heavy lifting and use VBA to lay results out onto your sheet or Word doc.
Perhaps I could have phrased it better. I meant don't let me disable 2FA without first authenticating using 2FA. So ignore any emails to support, 2FA reset links, secret questions, pleas for help, and anything else that would have you think that I no longer have access to my 2FA device and backup codes.

Changing devices is allowed but to do so I would authenticate using my password + 2FA prior to doing so.
That not how 'power of random voter emotion' works, or "is checked". I'm not sure I'm following your argument here.
That's all fine and good and I appreciate the thoughtfulness of the Scandinavians about this.

But there's a huge component missing to this - and that is the rights of the victims.

There are quite a number of people who have 'committed a crime' and really are at no risk of re-offending in the first place.

A Montreal doctor, in a fit of fury, murdered his wife and children. I believe - with some basic help and observation, it's entirely unlikely he'd do such a thing again. I don't think for a second that 'prison' or even the 'threat of prison' factors into his likelihood of recitivism.

So the 're-integration' thing to do for this doctor would just be a little time in a psych/hospital, then re-integration and observation/checking-in on him.

But what about the wife? The kids that were murdered? What about their rights as victims?

If you 'slander' someone - you might have to pay them $100K.

But if you 'murder' them - there's nobody to pay?

This is a real issue - and more real in Scandinavia.

I have a distant relative who is Danish - a rough and tumble guy who hangs out with bikers. Over at his place for dinner one day (in Denmark) - the guy sitting beside me (who seemed rather normal if a tiny bit thuggish) - was a murderer.

He spent four years in jail for murdering someone, and was now in a 'half way house' for a couple of years. That's it.

I don't doubt that maybe his situation is optimized for 'non recidivism' - but there are moral questions with this.

Four years in a really nice jail - with Internet, a 'instrument' room with instruments, a goddam mixing panel to make tracks (!), a gym, half decent food - etc. - is just wrong.

Imagine if your mother/family member was ruthlessly murdered by her landlord.

He does four years in an easy prison. No worries. His property, holdings intact. He comes back as if it didn't happen, with a little bit of 'checking in' form the government?

We cannot think of crime just as a matter of 'recidivism rates' - yes - those are important - but the moral implications are equally as important.

Hi. Jacob from GitLab. Our editor will work on iPad.
I posted it, and your implication of some deeper reason is rubbish. Race or sex has zero to do with anything. The reason I chose this video is due to the stunning contrast between the news reporter describing the "debate" team's win as a high-brow achievement and a calm discussion of the merits of the debate along with the preparation, etc. which paint a picture of intellectual refinement, cut with the video full of racist n-words peppered with "uh uh uh" which exposes the event to be a sham.

It is a sham. The video is a study in contrast. THAT is what made it effective to expose the absurdity of the "win", and probably why you don't like it.

I notice you called it a "dog whistle" in a different comment, which I resent. That term seems to be a favorite term of the political left synonymous with "this doesn't agree with my worldview so I'm going to cast it as a racist viewpoint to shut down debate. I will insinuate racism where it doesn't exist."
Whether we can run the tests ourselves, and whether we want to spend the engineering time to build and/or maintain an in-house CI system are two very different questions.

Whether a developer (or business person) made a business decision to outsource CI has nothing to do with technical competence.

Using SaaS for any business data has a risk, but usually it's worth it. I'm sure you use slack, slack could be breached, and I'm sure no one at your company has ever slacked a password to someone else.
This is code golf. I mention that because apparently some people are missing the point, which is purely to get the smallest size. This isn't directly applicable to most work you might do, but like many exercises that explore the extremes, useful knowledge can be learned from the attempt.

Truckers are mainly small businesses so they probably have no lobby. The bigger trucking companies that employ these self-employed truckers will happily switch to automatic trucks. They also have the political clout.

Same for farmers. The real small family farmers have no political power. It's the big farms that get laws made for them.
Slightly off-topic: only read part of the article, but just want to say thank to the OP for turning me onto the website.

I agree it's a reasonable result, but that doesn't necessarily make it correct. I think jackschultz's skepticism is warranted: this is not a proper experiment with controls. A better designed experiment would have two control groups: one group that rides normal bikes, and one group that does nothing different. The latter group could try to control for people-being-studied-behaving-different effect. And the normal bike riding group could give us a better handle on what is being "missed" by using electric bikes. We could also get super-fancy and add a fourth group, based on what you said, who don't change their commute, but instead walk 4 miles a day.
