Gotta start somewhere. Kudos to them for actually trying to manufacture something in the US instead of throwing up their hands and saying “those jobs aren’t coming back.”
Those claims can both be true; perhaps if Walmart's site loaded faster, they would have even more sales, even if they already have a lot.
That's pretty terrible that you're dealing with stuff like Linus' first message there at work.

I'm no bleeding-heart cream-puff, but that's really an unacceptable tone to adopt for a work environment. I would not accept that tone from a colleague.

I wouldn't call his second message fantastic either TBH.
Unfortunately, there are too many weird corner cases with Turbolinks. And it doesn't work with certain ad scripts (which ad publishers aren't interested to support Turbolinks).
>> Then, like the poster above says, the med schools should test for dexterity as a part of the admissions requirement.

> Many medical specialties don't require high dexterity. Most medical students don't decide whether to go into surgery until they've been in school for a while and assisted on some procedures.

The easy and obvious solution is to test everyone on entrance and only let people choose specialities if they have the necessary dexterity.
Oh man, I remember that game. It was THE shit.
if the www ever goes down I'll help rebuild the web.

I own my own company and provide multiple consult services, and run a few websites so its highly unlikely that all the services I offer will ever go away. if they do I can fix bikes, houses and electronics.

if my health goes horribly bad I have insurance, I can always work from home if I'm sick.

savings wise I own my house and my car and have enough savings to live on for a long time and put a lot into a 401k and investments but I'm probably way older than a lot of the ppl on here.
Well that’s the thing, once you start manufacturing something in China, you’re sunk. Doesn’t matter who you are, your IP is going to be stolen, midnight shifts will produce extra units that won’t be going to you, etc.
I don't think this is true. Other reasons that it's difficult for adults to learn things are:

1) A fear of embarrassment while learning - because as an adult learner you're at the bottom of a far wider range of skill levels of people your own age than a child is when they're learning. When you've been working on your French for two years, and a five year-old French child speaks with a facility you don't have in your wildest dreams, well, remember that that five year-old has been working on their French for five years; and while they were learning, they never had to feel like they were too far behind every other under-five in the world.

2) The constant encouragement of adults to concentrate on improving the things that they're already good at, and not to waste too much time on the things they're not good at that aren't necessary for their jobs. I think part of this comes in the form of theories that it's impossible to learn things after you're the customary age for people to learn that thing. Or worse, that everybody who is good at a thing was anointed by god or genes to be good at it, therefore if you aren't good at it already you probably weren't chosen.

Sorry, i should have been clearer. There were 2 distinct startups i founded during that time. One at the start of 2012, which died mid-2012, and the other started mid-2012 and I worked on all the way through till 2018.

I should also mention, this was in Canada. And yeah, I didn't keep the PW to my previous burner account. Not used to posting anom info :-(

There is no source of capital that is aligned with founders who want to build a healthy, sustainable, profitable business.

Positive cash flow is the best source of capital, IMHO. If you can't manage that, or you need extra capital to grow the business, what about turning to banks as a source of capital?

After my company (not a tech startup) hit the 5-year mark in the state corporations database, I started getting offers from banks, PayPal, and even Amazon, two or three times per week.

They don't want equity. They don't want a seat on the board. They don't want to tell me how to run my business. They just want the interest and a relationship that might lead to more business down the road.

I'd look at it from a different perspective. A low-level SWE salary might be $120k, and the all-in cost of employment might be $160k (benefits, taxes, office space, lunches, etc.). For a senior person, the base salary might be $200k, and the all-in cost might be $260k. So how does the senior person justify that extra $100k?

Well, they just have to output about 2x more impact. In my experience, it is not very hard to be 2x more impactful than a junior engineer. This is not meant to be arrogant, just that it's very easy for a junior engineer to waste time on useless stuff. In some cases junior (or bad) engineers will be 10x or 50x slower than they should be. I've seen some really bad examples in my 10 year career.

For example at my last job, a team of 2 engineers was using the wrong tool for a task, and this resulted in them taking 5x longer to deliver a worse product than alternates. I was able to do the same thing as them, but deliver much faster and at lower cost.

In other cases, junior engineers will make poor decisions, or write bad code that needs to be refactored later. This can be simple things like thinking on the wrong layer of abstraction. Refactoring the bad code is effectively 10x slower than doing it right the first time.

In all, I think paying an extra $100k for a good engineer is a real bargain for companies, because the impact can be so huge. The real challenge is figuring out who is a legit senior engineer.
R notebooks behave similarly to org-mode, albeit with fewer supported languages and a few less options for controlling execution and value passing between code blocks. Org-mode is the oldest and most powerful environment of this sort that I know of.

That said, for new users, I think R Notebooks are less daunting than Emacs + org-mode.

Like most things associated with RStudio and the Tidyverse, I feel that they’ve really done their homework. Even if org-mode does more, I feel it’s pretty evident that R Notebooks at least made an effort to understand org-mode’s prior art.
Avoid Optimus like a plague if you are using Linux. There are quite decent Thinkpads with Ryzen/Vega APUs these days (like A485) which should work fine with upstream kernel and Mesa. But of course it's still Lenovo, so various blobs like UEFI remain.
Maybe I am taking it for granted. I wish I knew the trick to be sure I wasn't but I think it's just kind of the condition of growing up in health and prosperity with parents who grew up in the same and grandparents who were a bit too young for the war. Canadian history has been fairly peaceful.

>First, a filesystem should generally be stable enough that patches applied by a distro don't completely ruin it.

File systems are sufficiently complicated only developers with expertise in a particular file system will be applying patches. Red Hat has device-mapper, LVM, ext4 and XFS developers with such expertise, but not Btrfs developers. That's the reason why they dropped it.

> it implies lack of testing efforts even for Centos & Fedora users

I can't parse that.

> And finally, I simply don't want bugs in my root filesystem

This is both naive and a reasonable request. It's naive in that they all have bugs, users find them, they report them, they get fixed. Happens all the time. It's also reasonable to pick a file system you think will have the least problems for your use case, if you're not interested in being a bug reporter.

Well now you've raised a very deep point. We need some laws and regulation, but not too much. How do we decide? We have a Constitution and a political system, including judiciary where we can all fight it out.

Conservatives are more on the side of limited government power. Progressives think the government should do more. And on and on it goes...
Wait a few decades. The Europeans will eventually be at each other's throats again. Historically speaking, they are on average more violent and less tolerant than Americans.
The pay rates for tradies in Australia is phenomenal. If I had kids, I'd be encouraging them to become electricians, not software engineers.

Even a lot of unskilled jobs pay really well in Australia. I have a friend who works for Aldi in their distribution centre as a general worker, and he's on $35 per hour (only 6 hour shifts though, I think), plus when he's rostered on Sunday he goes up to $70 an hour.

Anecdotally, as a software developer in Melbourne for a small company, with 2 years experience, I'm on AU$75k + super, which is a pretty comfortable wage. Coming from NZ$42k (and only 3% super) back in New Zealand, it was certainly a nice payrise.
Normalized to some baseline effective USD? It needs to be adjusted for CPI.
I'm convinced SPA are the future -- they're more than about fitting all your stuff on to a "single page", the concept of a page doesn't go away in SPAs, it's just the implementations and strategies for loading and state management that are different. A better way to think about them is as "client side rendered" applications. The reason I think SPAs are the future, the premises are simple:

- Processing power of client devices will only grow, compute will cheapen but communication costs (speed of light/fiber/etc) are cheapening at a much slower rate.

- Repeatedly sending layout is wasteful, given site architectures that render the same page repeatedly

- Separation of UI and data is generally a good idea

- Sufficiently advanced SPAs offer Server Side Rendering (SSR), which makes them almost equivalent and yet more reusable than the alternatives (Java's JSP stuff, ASP.NET's ASPX mess, Ruby's ERB + layouts + partials stuff, Django's Jinja + layouts + partials stuff)

Mark my words, when wasm is widely accepted and lots of languages start compiling to it, people are going to start porting the SSR alternatives (JSP, ASPX, etc) to run on the frontend to achieve this same exact goal. I can't wait to see someone post on HN about "JSP in the browser".

There are of course a few things to keep track of, If sophistication in quantum communications grows faster than everyone expects, the landscape changes drastically. As a complete layman it seems possible to me to imagine arrays of entangled atoms being used at ISPs (possibly forced to be closer together) to reduce RTT to effectively near zero which fallback to regular over-the-wire communication for error correction or whatever else.

Almost 100% of the problems I've seen expressed with SPAs is from tooling or developers doing it wrong. Maybe that's it's biggest weakness, along with being an approach prone to accidental complexity.
I still hold my doubts that this could even nearly replace a traditional machine in a real professional's workflow. If anyone has real-world performance comparisons, I'd be interested to see... But the iPads still feel like an expensive toy to me.

Agreed! The only risk is that if you did release a massive amount of helium in an enclosed space, it could displace enough oxygen to drop the O2 concentration to dangerous levels.

That's why it seems like oxygen concentration monitors are a good idea for hospitals with liquid He. They don't really need to monitor helium levels since that's not the direct cause of problems. It's only an issue (but a big issue) if there's so much He released that it displaces enough air to meaningfully dilute O2 concentrations.
Yes, it is something we studied in several neuroscience classes. What's really cool is that you can have developed such a skill without even realizing it.

The professors were demonstrating one of the visual tests of discrimination in a flat light field and I was the subject. The test was a pattern of light/dark bars where the contrast and edges were flattened beyond recognition, presented, then in slow steps distinction restored to the point where you could see a difference.

Turns out I could literally see as obvious distinctions that no one else could see as anything but a perfectly flat-light screen. Our conjecture was that it developed from years of looking for the tiniest variations in fields of snow in flat light where a little ripple or angle can make a big difference skiing at 80mph. But until we did that test, I could never have told you that I could distinguish anything better than anyone else.

Perceptual neuro guys/gals do these kinds of tests all the time finding the limits of the perceptual/neruo systems, and often find these, ahem, heightened abilities in top level athletes musicians, etc. There's also some fun ones where they expected to find some and didn't (topic for another day)

I'm glad people are interested in my notebook! Here's a thread I just put up with a link to the PDF and photos of the notebook in action:

https://twitter.com/JaysonElliot/status/1057490478625705985

The front page has an unmarked calendar so you can write in any three month period. It's meant for the Jerry Seinfeld chain method. Write the one thing you want to do every day at the top, and X out the days that you do it.

Inside, each day has one page broken into 30 minute blocks, with a column for "plan" and one for "actual." Next to that is an open area with a dot grid for planning. (I also put a full page of dot grid on the back, for random notes.)

Use your shutdown ritual each evening to make a list of things you want to do the next day in the dot grid area. Then assign them to 30-minute slots in the "plan" area.

As you go through your day, write down what you really did with your time in the "actual" column. Then you can review in the evening, and see how your plans differed from reality, to help you plan more accurately as you continue to use the notebook.

I hope this is helpful to someone, it's been a great tool for me.

the one thing that isn’t outsourceable or trivially reassigned is liability. That is HR’s core competency, if you will.

Using Elm, even a little bit, has given me a perspective on what a different language can do in the browser.

If you subscribe to Gary Benhardt’s Capability/Suitability theory of programming history [1], JavaScript is the highly capable technology that can be used for any sort of architecture you can imagine, and Elm is a turn towards suitability that says, “some of those architectures are unsound or have a very low floor for quality.”

You might want to abstract over DOM APIs for different reasons, but at their semantic core they are fine.
