HN starts caring a lot about the integrity of the sacred HTML when it's their own content being mangled.

User experience is only valid as an argument in the context of that darn, biased "mainstream media" being dismembered by ad blockers, or held for ransom by "Brave".
Inflation happens most years, so most people need a pay raise to keep their salary static.

No pay raise = a pay cut in real spending power.
It’s an ugly truth that writing is a leisurely art, historically only endeavored by aristocracy. Like most aristic pursuits, it’s not intended to be a meal-ticket. Great art is timeless, with its humanistic fulfillment being priceless.
I agree that no borders at all is a desirable state.

However, in order to achieve this, certain prerequisites have to be met first. Opening borders has to be accompanied and indeed preceded by economic development.

The Schengen agreement for example only works because of the relatively similar economic situations of the member countries and even then it unfortunately has been a considerable cause for discord in recent years.

The same way town officials currently plan for the number of school places needed in their town in 2 years.

I already drew a parallel between towns and countries.

Remember, we're all free to visit or even move to a different town right now, and yet we don't have chaos.
I don’t want to fight battles, at all. At least not in my working life but really not anywhere else either.

I’ve seen a lot and done a lot in my career, and I don’t feel I have anything to prove to anyone anymore. On the other hand I do find it enjoyable to discuss ideas in a collegial environment where people really are trying to figure out what’s best.

If we can agree on ideas as equals and proceed then great. If not, I’ll live. If someone gets mad because I had an idea to improve something I’m not going to get too twisted up about it. Life is too short for all this stuff, and it isn’t important in the scheme of things.
As others have stated radiocarbon measurements can be compared to calibrations to some degree. Along these lines, see also the isochron method, which uses the slope of a line to back-calculate the original isotopic concentration. The fundamental assumptions is that isotopic concentrations are uniform throughout a sample at the time of birth, but different elements solidify at different concentrations. So by looking at isotopic ratios around a sample you'll find higher concentrations of daughter nuclides where higher concentrations of parents once were. If you plot the data you can look at the slope and see the age. It's easier to see graphically [1].

She works in San Marcos, TX and takes the bus to work (per the article).

It's close-ish to Austin, but I doubt there are very many large companies and startups in San Marcos.
With software and multi-frame analysis they can/will add logic looking for the micro-pixel 3D pulse of the blood flow in your skin. That is how it is done is security clearance grade FR; I write it, and my employer sells to those types of contracts, so... just give Apple a beat, and they'll have it.
Do you believe that the rise in executive pay we've been over the last few decades reflects a rise in executive competence?
> Perhaps they could write a (albeit imperfect) tool to alert readers when another language has a much larger or more comprehensive article.

There's a template saying “this article could be improved with translation from $other-language.”
And magnets repel with an inverse cube law. So there is no simple way to replace a spring with magnets.

You could "linearise" an electromagnet with distance sensors and code, but that's a bit of a Franken-Solution - not least because any delay in the closed loop could make the system unstable.

In this case a couple of minutes of research - or maybe asking a physicist - would have saved a lot of essentially rather pointless tinkering.

I mean - if you enjoy tinkering more than you enjoy producing an elegant solution, then tinker away. But this is noodling around for the sake of it, not solid engineering.
Positive ROI relating to prescribing people useless and often harmful drugs. Just look at prescriptions that just happen to fall off after drugs go generic.

People are also buying insurance which is priced based on the assumption people will get useless prescriptions. So, this advertising really adds a lot more costs without nessisarily any net benefits.
It's true that you can easily cross the border to Switzerland (which has mostly to do with economic reason). If you think that you can cross the border without being surveilled, then let me tell you that on many Swiss border crossings there are licence plate readers. As a foreigner, it's almost impossible to cross Switzerland without having your plates checked at least once.
I had once an introduction to the possibilities of the Swiss border guards (and what they do) and I can tell you I was suprised to hear and almost couldn't believe it. There are not just standing 2'000 border guards around to say hi to you and wave you through.
I think the "very very very busy schedule" misses the point. Everbody has stuff to do, and things that are hard or (almost) impossible to reschedule. But everybody has a personal life, and can and will take time for it. One thing I sometimes say (not sure if it's from somewhere else, and I certainly failt to live up to it myself, sometimes):
"You don't have time, you take it". Things just need to be more important than what's on your calendar.
That’s absolutely not what entrapment is.

I've had a copy of Eloquent Ruby on my bookshelf for years, just sitting there collecting dust. I picked it up yesterday after reading this comment and, while I've only made it through the first four chapters, I have to echo the sentiment. Once I finish it, I'm going to give it to a junior on my team. I think they're at a point in their journey where the messages in this book will really help them.
This a great piece to come across. Written in 2007... nice to have a chance to see it. I was laughing at the part where he packed in a bag and started biking away with it. Like... wow that bike must have been front-heavy.
Ugh. That was depressing.

This is why I dislike the naivete of pursuing "market-based" solutions to manage problems which were created by markets in the first place. The problem I'm referencing here is that the actual cost of something through its total lifecycle is not captured by just the cost of producing it, selling it, and consuming it. The cost model is constructed as a chain of discrete myopic segments, which just moves the problem around like a shell game.

Of course it would be nearly impossible to measure and know the full-lifecycle cost of something, which presents a pricing problem to any market-based solution. It's going to be subject to the same myopic pitfalls.
I don't find the argument that they are worth more to hold any water, not at these levels. Executive pay did not use to outstrip all other employees this much, and they are getting paid out whether or not they succeed.

Part of it, I believe, is that all these companies are interconnected with executives sitting on boards of multiple other companies. Once you are in the in group it's a bunch of people oking each other's salaries as individuals companies rise and fall.

It's a great system for that group. It's a shit system for everyone outside of it. It's also not a fact of nature so it's something we could prevent if we decided as a society to do so
This is what the CNCF is trying to achieve with Kubernetes as a foundation for managing compute/containerized workloads. If we lay down the right set of abstractions for app developers then the theory is the workloads become somewhat portable. Think of it as the core AWS services generalized as kubernetes services -- and k8s (or even stuff on top in theory) could still be managed by the provider.

The problem for the CNCF and its projects is you can almost always move quicker if subscribing to the walled gardens of the major vendors... even if the experience is less than optimal and definitely not portable.

Hopefully this changes over the next year as better abstractions (think Fn Project/Knative/Rook/someDB) and even some standards (cloudevents) emerge.

That said I suppose data could be traditional DB's (sql/nosql) managed by k8s... not sure about this yet.
Within the security & digital forensics industry, it is best practices to require a minimum of 3 separate biometrics for anything requiring financial authentication capabilities. Apple is not respecting this best practice.

The conspiracy here seems to refer to the accusation that Google is trying to actively make their search results worse, in order to force people to buy ads.

That post does seem to be paying lip service to actual benefits for users (such as speed), but then ... suddenly ignore them in favour of a Trojan horse metaphor that doesn't make much sense to me.
What bad things do you think would happen if opening borders were not accompanied or preceded by economic development?

Or, to put it another way: what gives you the right to exist in a public place in the country you live in, but not a poorer person?
Not sure how version control can help here, as unit tests are not run on old versions.

About batches, could you be more specific, i might be missing something here.

And for fuzzing, it will test your new function, but will not provide any guarantees that your new functions is working exactly like the old one. You might be surprised, bet there could be bugs in old function which can be fixed by refactoring. Sounds nice? But might be some legacy codes is depending on the bug that you fixed, and for backwards compatibility reasons that bug must stay be renamed from "bug" to "functionality".
Its probably better to say that “Sears” is literally the board who hires the executive leadership. The execs have a lot of discretion but ultimately they are taking their marching orders from the board.

In turn the board was supposed to serve the shareholders but, oops, on a BK the shareholders are screwed. So basically the creditors now own the thing.

Once you’re in that spot, though, what are you going to do? Fire all levels of management above the store level? It’s not impossible but it would create absurd levels of additional risk and delay.
It's actually under fairly consistent and active development right now. Hopefully we'll have something to share soon.
How do you account for the source I provided that describes exactly what they did?

Also, here is what wikipedia says:

>"Although Willard Libby, the inventor of radiocarbon dating, had pointed out as early as 1955 the possibility that the 14C/12C ratio might have varied over time, it was not until discrepancies began to accumulate between measured ages and known historical dates for artefacts that it became clear that a correction would need to be applied to radiocarbon ages to obtain calendar dates."

Or a similar offering from the other companies.

To me, they are fun gimmicks for keynote events when companies show off their new features, but are cumbersome for actual daily use. Easier to tap a couple of times than struggle with what is essentially is an undocumented and unpredictable API.
As a manager, it's far better for you to come to me with a problem than it is for me to hear about your problem from somebody else. (And if the manager is any good, they'll know about the problem already.)
Perhaps we should align incentives. A good start is to make it so that education loan payments are only required on higher paying jobs and the payment increases progressively (like taxes).
These are all good but what I really like are some of the quirky Netflix-only series like "A Very Secret Service", a French comedy that would have been very hard to discover or watch in the old days

Working with QSPI/SPI Memories with the Zynq, Zynq MPSoC and MicroBlaze
I have no idea. It could be a rise in competence - it could be a rise in the size of businesses, bringing a commensurate rise in productivity (the average worker is also more productive, not sure if their salary reflects that though).

It could be simply "fashion", or everyone making a mistake, or some kind of weird market condition that will fix itself.

I don't think anyone truly knows, just like no one knows if stocks are overpriced right now. Or if compensation for e.g. programmers is also overpriced. It's really, really hard to second-guess the market and get the right answer, and I hesitate to trust people who a) don't know much about the specifics here (not saying that's you), and/or b) don't actually have skin in the game. If the people who are choosing how much to pay executives, and putting their money where their mouth is, are choosing this - well, they could definitely be choosing wrong, but its their money to lose for the most part.
That happened to me between Switzerland and Germany in 2011. The French didn’t do anything when I drove from Switzerland to France.
If I'm understanding you right, "C-like-syntax" languages generally allow this:

function big() {
let x,y,z;
{
// First bit
let localToThisSection = 42;
...
}
{
// Second bit
...
}
}
Well yeah, it does make sense, but why is it not shown in the sample code on your homepage?
Yep. My employer has several hundred thousand laser scans of real people, spanning every age, gender and ethnicity on the planet, multiple times over. Our FR system can perform 24 million high quality 3D reconstructions per second with two cores at 3.4 GHz. It's pretty amazing.

Porting an unikernel to Xen: Intro
I bought a TX2 recently at a discount and it was extremely fun to use. I would love to use a Xavier but it is a bit out of my price point so I guess they priced it solely for the industry. It's still amazing to see something priced only at $1K (relatively speaking, this stuff was always expensive). I highly recommend others to buy a TX2 if they want to dabble in embedded electronics machine learning. Shameless plug, if you own a TX2, I recently designed a case for it: https://www.powu3.com/cad/tx2/
Little depth is exactly the problem.

I am all for the expert generalist but you need to at least have tried to dig into something really serious and spent the years learning to become really good at something.

First time I did that was with music where you learn that you will hit plateaus along the way were it feels like nothing happens until then suddenly you are catapulted to an ever more accomplished level.

Luckily this still happens but it seems like it mostly happens outside of academia because it's not been as politicized as much of that seems to have become.
I don't think good music ever gets old.

I like the old TOS with its campiness, but even when TNG was new I found it unwatchable.

In general, though, TV shows don't age well. Even Mission Impossible from the 60's, well regarded at the time, looks silly today.
If one thinks all they need to do is remove javascript to speed things up substantially, then they fit into my category of people who only know jQuery snippets only think they know enough.

There are a multitude of issues that can be tweaked to speed things up more so than javascript elimination. You can switch to HTTP/2, implement server push, image compression, header compression, compressing HTML/CSS/Javascript downloads, preloading, above-the-fold downloads, and much more. A jQuery plugin user might not know half those things and I only mentioned maybe half the things one should know.
I feel like I've been licking toads recently. So much crazy going on.
Solid idea, after having built N billing portals in the past, I really like the idea of being able to drop in a billing portal.

That said -- raise your prices. You might try something that's more explicitly tied to revenue. But if not, I would try the 3 tiers at 39/99/199 (or 49/199/299). Maybe make a 0-10 customer tier that's lower cost. The bigger customers will demand more features to justify the price point, but many of those features will likely prove relatively easy to implement (SSO, 2FA, let them pay you via PO).
We have support for Recurly but not for Stripe today, but we can easily add support for that. Do you have any specific need?

Actually there are. But in any case, it's not the same as "the failure of quantum computing devices." Maybe you meant market failure?
Is this all just about people using ``$`` instead of ``document.querySelector``? I figured you were talking about the virtual DOM in React or something. Now I'm not sure what you mean anymore.

What GP is advising against is doing direct manipulations on the DOM outside of an application's normal control flow. That has nothing to do with being afraid of the DOM, it has to do with grouping your update logic into one place so that you can avoid spaghetti code, state-dependent updates, and XSS attacks. When people talk about direct DOM access, this is often what they're referring to -- developers who think, "I need to change the color of this button. I know, I'll just set it directly in this random method so it only works in this very narrow code path."

I haven't used JQuery on a single personal project in at least 3 or 4 years, possibly longer. But even though I'm usually using the JS APIs directly, I'm still pushing all of my logic through a single render function instead of willy-nilly updating input labels in 5 different functions. Forcing rendering to go through an optimized chokepoint is just good architecture -- I'd use the same pattern even if I was working with Windows Forms or OpenGL.

My advice would be that if you're surrounded by people who are frightened of working with the DOM without JQuery, then find better developers to hang out with. Because in my experience that's not typical, and I very rarely run into developers with that perspective. Certainly I don't think it's the consensus on HN.
> There's nothing wrong with an ad supported web

I very much disagree with this statement. I simply can't stand ads in my internet and uBlock Origin is the first thing I install in a fresh browser. I can't fathom browsing the web without it anymore.

There is a tremendous amount of faux cultural cachet attached to a “college” education in the USA. As if it is a proxy of social status.

It is, don’t get me wrong, but if a more granular cultural standard for what education is meritorious - disciplines contra brand name unis - maybe vocational training would be more appetizing.
Yes, like some DMV's do facial scanning now, and some cities/counties are hooking it up to Amazons Rekognition with cameras mounted in public as well as Palintir software, among others. The FBI tends to use those DB's too. I'll stick to my password, which is actually constitutionally protected, unlike a face, which can be seen from public.

JavaScript's IIFEs can act like that:

function big(x, y, z) {
const firstBitResult = ((x, y, z) => {
...
})(x, y, z)

const secondBitResult = ((x, y, z) => {
...
})(x, y, z)

...
}

I've used this trick when hacking out on quick-hack-turns-into-humongous-mess type projects.

I didn't even know internships were what you did in uni. I only did mine because everyone did them. Now I make an appréciable fraction of a million dollars a year. All because I applied to the places my friends recommended I apply to and did the things then that my friends recommend I do.

The power of role models and established process is huge.

A better question: do a tiny minority of Americans deserve to take all of the productivity gains that would otherwise be distributed to the majority of Americans as raises?

Yes,
If your x,y, and z are both inputs and outputs, that works.

If you wanted a syntax that exactly mirrored what happens in the gp's second example, you'd need more work. Plus if you force a begin-bracket to have a label, you avoid the editor having to use "fun3756" when automatically abstracting out the subroutine.
Glad to see it! Other than that, looks like a solid bot :)
