If I were unconstrained by economic imperatives to feed me and my family, I‘d love to try my hand at writing for tv/movies - it’s one of the most creative jobs around.

If I still had to provide, then I’d be curious about plumbing - the sort of job that cannot be automated or offshored.
That sounds a little selfish; think of people using other frameworks.

Also, in this particular case, the graphics are simply two layers of SVG: an image of a ghost, backpack, browser, etc. and superimposed on top of that a "mood". You can compose these images with two lines of CSS, no React required.
Tell that to Nero. Haha
About [1] All the energy in the ATP is eventually released. Unless you are gaining weight or doing some mechanical work that is permanent (like lifting boxes to the floor above you) almost all is released as heat. Perhaps some energy is used to evaporate water, this may be important.

About [2]: Thanks for looking at their numbers. But they can't collect an average of 127.2W because the maximal power that can be transformed to electricity in this conditions is about 4W-5W. Also, the article claims that they get less than the 1%, but I'm worry that in the press article they just divided (0.6 watts/hour)/(80W) < 1% (ignoring the units).
They recently (around 17.10 I think) removed encryptfs, they only support LUKS now.
Right, I meant using a polynomial hash.
> The only line I'd remove or finesse is "Yeah, this is complete garbage." Otherwise, I think this is a great example of how to convey anger without personally attacking anyone.

Strong words are best way to convey the issue in a way that leaves no room for inaccuracies.

Sugarcoating it helps no-one as some people might inaccurately think it was not a big fuckup. If you use words from the very end of the expressivenes range there is no room left to doubt
I wouldn't mind being an electrician, refrigeration tech, or maybe home automation (like crestron).
Whenever I'm frustrated, I entertain the thought of penguin farming in the Falkland islands.
Ask HN: Which online learning communities are you a part of besides HN?
Teaching. So realistically still tech, because teaching CS or EE would be easiest transition.
Before anything else, I'd actually took a sabbatical.
Think a little broader. The IPv6 Privacy Extensions just shield your mac address unless I've missed something.

Let's say I'm a transit provider [like Google]. Right now, I see TLS traffic from your public IPv4 address to another public IPv4 address. I have no idea how many devices are behind those public IP addresses. I can maybe combine a few assumptions with my browser-based tracking, but it's difficult to identify you in apps I don't have control over.

Switch to IPv6, now I know exactly how many devices behind your firewall are talking and how many devices you're talking to.

Even better, I can combine this with a browser-based tracker and I can see what you're doing in apps I don't control. I first identify you with the browser and what IPv6 address you're using. Then as you use other apps that I can't spy on, I just have to look for your IPv6 address in my transit traffic to figure out what you're doing.
It did. Here's my personal site from that era, complete with javascript "Layer" (in Netscape) (or DIV in IE3) tags doing the wiggling:

Hmm, yes, I agree with that, but then again: if the kid's parents were to cook less, then the kid would not have had to eat it "forcefully". The only reason I assume force here is because the kid would not need any reasons to be told if s/he is hungry. It seems to me that this is a special scenario, but being grateful for the things you have is not, and should not be a special case, IMO.

I am not sure that this is how I would teach my kid to be grateful, especially because the kid might perceive it to be forced and might backfire in the future.

Anyways, we might be overthinking this. :)
my guess is, the world of music theory seems like an epic mess to a novice due to the fact that it maintains full backward compatility and is instrument agnostic. e.g. there is a concept named "octave", but it actually consists if 12 intervals (on chromatic scale), and "mysteriously" there is no B# between B and C, and so on. it is like leaving types and pointers in every programming language, even if the lang is Ruby which is "typeless" and has garbage collector.
If it weren’t expected, restaurants wouldn’t keep stacks of to-go boxes lying around. As for a sign of being poor, who gives a shit? I’m obviously wealthy enough to eat at your restaurant. And if you’d like me to share some of that wealth again, you’ll box thus shit up without comment.

But enough anonymous internet tough guy talk, I’ve been taking home food for decades and no one has ever uttered a word. Olive Garden to $200/person, it’ll get boxed with a smile. Hell, waitstaff often come around and ask if you want a box (which I sometimes take to mean, “I’d like to turn this table, Slowpoke.” <g>).
Transposition is easy for a computer. "MusicWriter" could do it back in the 1980's. And now it's available on the web, too!

Fun fact - we noticed SQLite wasn't RFC-compliant for it's CSV output (it used native lineendings, not CRLF, which is mandatory).

It is fixed now... but I'm now wondering whether SQLite wasn't more correct in the first place...
I would do something outside at least part of the time. Sitting at a desk the whole time really kills me.
In principle I agree with you, and many could argue the the app is broken. But in all fairness it is not so easy. Then there are lots of little details and corner cases where filesystems that implement a POSIX fs have slightly different semantics. This is important for example when dealing with sync'ing files to disk/backend. Encryption is another problem. Error handling. See for an example the annoying details here:

I did. The projects I work on now only involve dealing with mitigating the effects/lowering the things that produce climate change. There is a lot to do in this area and most organisations that work with it don’t have good IT teams.

This can be good and bad. If they don’t understand IT then they don’t value it, but if they get it then there are very interesting jobs to be done.

If you have software skills, electric utilities are hungry for good developers, are a key piece of infrastructure for fighting climate change, and are going through an IT revolution (from a host of special purpose systems to well-integrated sensor and control platforms).
This is very little actually, this is what I take on non-painful days. When it hurts it's 800mg every 4-6 hours (up to 3200mg daily) combined with either 500mg or 1g acetaminophen depending on severity. Usually 1 or two rounds are enough, but definitely hit the limit a few times.
These are pretty common dosages for anybody with serious pain.

Around 3 years on that regimen so far.
The people leaving California likely didn't luck into the prop 13 handout and are mad as hell about it which would explain why they are voting for higher property taxes.

Personally, after living here for a decade, I've seen how much damage that stupid law has done to our public services and housing market and wish for nothing more than Copenhagen-style land taxation applied across the state.
Seconded! I recently went back to the vanilla game and am playing through it trying to get 100% completion. It's very well designed and well balanced as well. Whenever I find myself low on health or ammo, there's usually a fresh box right around the corner, with plenty of secret areas to discover that are creatively hidden. Above all, it's just plain fun!
But it is a different kind of insecurity. For example, your javascript app might be full of code execution exploits, but it still runs in docker. So once vendor releases a fix, you remove old docker container (with all backdoors that could have been installed there), create a new one, and you are done. In fact, since the default way to upgrade version is to re-create docket container, you might be removing backdoors without even being aware of the fact.

Compare this to typical PHP “ftp” style install, for example. You install plugins, configure system and update code using config.php. If you ever get compromised, your backdoor is there to stay. If you are lucky and it made all new “backdoor.php”, you might be able to note that from file manager. But what if it just added two lines to footer.php? The chances you will find it are very slim. And if that backdoor disabled your auto-update system, you won’t even know something is wrong.

Just to make it clear, yes you can deploy your php apps in a secure way. But doing so makes install much harder, so I have not seen many PHP apps that adopt this approach.
The OP is advocating for MESO - magneto-electric spin–orbit logic.

From Wikipedia - Magneto-Electric Spin-Orbit (MESO) is a technology for constructing scalable integrated circuits, which utilize spin–orbit transduction of electrons. It is intended as a replacement for the CMOS technology.
Compared to CMOS, MESO circuits require less energy for switching, lower operating voltage, and feature a higher integration density.

As a German I can't stop laughing about this. It's hilarious to me. If you are curious then see for example the following videos of an New Zealand living in Germany talking about differences in parenting.

Where would you rather live and work: a random African country, or China? Does this answer change in 50 years?
When I was young I served Yoshino-kimi, the granddaughter of Tōfukumon'in, a disciple of the imperial temple Hōkyō-ji. Recently she passed away, although I know that this is the law of nature, the transience of the world struck me deeply, and I became a nun. I cut my hair and dyed my robes black and went on pilgrimage to Edo. There I had an audience with the monk Haku-ō of the Obaku Zen sect. I recounted to him, such things as my deep devotion to Buddhism since childhood, but Haku-ō replied that although he could see my sincere intentions, I could not escape my womanly appearance. Therefore I heated up an iron and held it against my face, and then wrote as my brush led me:

...

Formerly to amuse myself at court I would burn orchid incense;

Now to enter the Zen life I burn my own face.

The four seasons pass by naturally like this,

But I don't know who I am amidst the change.

...

In this living world

the body I give up and burn

would be wretched

if I thought of myself as

anything but firewood.

- Ryōnen Gensō
Difficult questions for anyone to truthfully answer. I’m not aware if you’ve ever had a moment of reflex without thought. I had few I’m aware of and they were either in the best interest of myself, someone else, and even an object. I would think memories resulted in the reflexes and when awareness kicks in only afterwards of the action taken. The relevance is what’s responsible for actions or how maybe an illusion is taking place when it comes to perception of responsibility. The objects in this world may share an equivalent experience. Then there’s the thought of awake compared to the experience of a dream and how the essence is vastly different for me. Emotions are similar. Some humans don’t experience them all compared to the majority. I think of emotions similar to breathing from conception. Something is triggering it by association to pattern recognition. Anyway hard to answer something that’s hard even theorizing about.
So your point is that if you don't report breakage it won't get fixed ?
Nothing frustrates me more than comments using hyperboles they copied from somewhere else. Personally I do prefer some visual indication that something crashed. Like a sad face on the side of an error, or whatever you can quickly add. That way I know I don’t have to read the whole thing. That doesn’t mean they have to use some edgy description like you’re pretending they do.
I’d like to be a criminal defense lawyer, especially in the realm of vacating wrongful convictions that are based on unconstitutional rulings/Brady violations or helping those who are innocent and should be exonerated based on DNA or other evidence.

Every so often I debate going to law school part-time. But I feel a little trapped by my tech career and how much I’ve done and progressed so far.
I am a product manager currently thinking about trying a career in software development. I have coded for a few years on the side but never professionally, and my computer science background is limited to basic algorithms/leetcode. Wondering if any developers here think a PM background would be a boon for a new dev.
Woodworking is my choice as well. I have not done a single project yet, but really want to try it out. I watch a lot of woodworking videos on YouTube and find them fascinating, especially the Paul Sellers ones. He has a very popular tutorial for building a workbench with just hand tools, while it seems to a lot of fun I also find it a bit daunting in terms of the time and mental dedication. I hope I will be able to make the commitment soon.
Okay, but what you’re saying is hardly relevant to OP’s post, and you’re also limiting the entire grand sphere of music to a single genre that is well-known for requiring some of the most technically proficient artists in the world.

You, sir, as the farthest thing from the example.

I play sax in two concert bands and everyone gets their own, and previously transposed, music. If someone doesn’t they’re reasonably pissed.

The musical world is not your little jazz bubble. It’s huge. And most people prefer transposed music.
Children don't have to be treated like adults to be happy, but in this case I don't see what you or they could gain by treating them differently.
What are some non-sales examples?
Can you share your company or examples of others like it? Besides some non-profits, I can't seem to find very many and it's something I'd like to do but remain a developer.
I'd love to be a pilot. I've wanted to be a commercial pilot my whole life but when I was getting ready to go to college the job market was absolutely terrible. It isn't a whole lot better today.
Any examples of jobs that have percentage based compensation but aren't sales?

And I believe this is were the clean plate mentality came from, only take what you need, the rest can be saved for a later meal.

Having said that, as a kid and teenager I always felt that I could it a bigger portion so always took "too much", and finishing it once I was no longer hungry was never an issue. In that sense, clean plate mentality was a problem.
I think the two primary things where the US has an advantage over China is diversity (largely driven by foreign immigration) and free information flow. This leads to greater rates of innovation. Maybe not enough to keep China’s gdp from eventually surpassing the US, but that’s largely a glamour stat. The real issue is global power and influence. As shady and domineering as US foreign policy can be at times, a world dominated by China is far more concerning.
But then it wouldn't make Hacker News front page would it ?
Kind of. Remember that the valves are providing a linear approximation of a logarithmic relationship. So the third valve is usually tuned to a flat 1.5 steps to be used primarily in combination with valves 1 and 2 to ease intonation problems.
I'd design and shape surfboards and skateboards and do the graphics for them. Something that can't scale that I have to do one at a time.
It's not so much about "I cooked a lot of food, eat all of it" as it is about "you ate the French fries but haven't touched the broccoli," usually. In other words, it's a cliche dragged out when a kid is being picky about something.
It seems hard to maintain civil political discourse in an environment where the discussion is public and participation is largely open to all. I think this is to some extent because when we think of discussion, we think of answering questions like "what should we do", but without privacy and barriers to entry, discussions enter the other realm of politics where the main question is "how do we get it done". The former requires openness to self-doubt, which in the latter context is harmful to achieving goals.
Either one of defining hate speech at the federal level or preventing businesses from enforcing their own hate speech policies would require a constitutional amendment in the us.

I highly doubt such an amendment could ever get popular or political support.
What is time, does it flow, and if so what defines its direction?
Free trade is good but it takes two to tango. The tariffs are simply reciprocation for unfair trade practices by China - not to mention industrial espionage at unprecedented levels.

Also there’s more than just economics at play. China has recently become a brutal, oppressive dictatorship. Xi is doing the opposite of what allowed China’s economy to growth at an incredible pace (the growth is thanks to Deng’s policies), but Xi looks like a genius due to recency bias. He will not look like such a genius in ten years.

I feel sorry for the Chinese people. They deserve better.

>This thing is here to stay, as a new kind of social network.

I have a seriously hard time buying "socialization in online games" as new. In fact Fortnite is a lot less like a social network than other online games, because the interactions are more sporadic and disconnected than for example a raid group in classic WoW cira 2007.
It’s funny because I think in China or some other Asian countries it’s considered rude to actual clean off your whole plate, you should always leave a little bit. Otherwise what you’re basically saying is “What the fuck!? You’re so fucking poor you can’t afford to give me more than enough food?”

I'd like to recommend Logic 2010[1], a application with which you can do logic exercises to learn the natural deduction system from *"Logic: Techniques of Formal Reasoning" by Kalish, Montague, and Mar.[2]

The program is officially only for MacOS and Windows, but with a little work it's possible to get it running on Linux, as it's just Java.

The exercises are fun, and the program will not only check your work to make sure it's right, but also point out where and sometimes why it's wrong.

I would teach kids in a more non-traditional, activity based way. No tests, just real world activities and projects that they can apply to real life. Unfortunately there are too many politics in the education system and teachers can't fully teach in the ways I would want to. It's all about the numbers and what looks good on paper.

I do some of this on a small scale now but I run my own project based workshops or after school clubs in order to bypass the system.

Examples of clubs I have ran:

- Learn how to build an automatic solar powered plant watering system

- Learn how to build your own retro arcade system

- Learn how to build a battle bot and battle it against other classmates bots

- Learn how to program [name of game]. I focus on 1 game and try to cover most of the basics. After they get the core game programmed, they are able to customize it or program another game with the concepts they learned.

For most of these things kids utilize critical thinking, math, programming, electronics and engineering.
Fair enough.. I’ve honestly never read those guidelines and appreciate you pointing them out.

I found the parent comment to my reply very disturbing and thought it needed to be called out because it’s a dangerous point of view that enables very real atrocities both here and abroad. A belief in an inherent superiority is what led to historical events like the holocaust. It’s very difficult for me to stand by and not comment.

To us living on the border, this a very real issue that affects us daily not only socially but economically.
I dunno, the South China Morning Post reported on China essentially phasing out Islam [1], and that's on top of their ethnic cleansing with the Uyghur.

I got incredibly close to be able to become a dance movement therapist. I spent more than 500 hours in a self experience / education group and even lead a group session myself obviously under supervision. But dance education is required by the ADTA and I don't have that so I won't become one, alas. Now, that would be a pretty big change, wouldn't it?
It matches what’s written in the OP article: “The government has focused its campaign on unofficial Christian churches that promote ideas like social justice or have been critical of the party’s grip on society.”

And knowing what’s documented about the CIA activities in the past, which include using religion(1) I fully understand that attitude.

1) See https://dgibbs.faculty.arizona.edu/brzezinski_interview but also what was yearx before: https://www.npr.org/2010/06/05/127500908/cia-fight-against-c...
I wanted to ask the same question more or less the same way because I have had enough with technology.

I know nothing else apart from fixing computers and I really suck at programming, therefore I'm doomed to switch career.

Plus, I'm old for technology.

My problem is I'm an introvert who gets easily exhausted, both physically and emotionally.

If I could only get hired as a hand crafted shoemaker https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Tbwiv1NHR4 or as a carpenter that works again the traditional way of hand crafting...

I want to stop dealing with technology; just use my computer when I feel the need to or so I can pay my bills; nothing else, nothing more.

Bad at math?

My college roommate went to the public school in my town. I went to the catholic school. He learned calc 1 and calc 2 before college. I had 2 weeks of trig.

We were both math majors. He breezed through calc. I got
a D in calc1, 2, and 3. I took the classes a second time.

Am I bad at math? Absolutely. Did I give up? No. I have a math degree and a comp. sci. degree. I've been a programmer for nearly 50 years.

I have to read a math paper 3 times before I "get it". I have to read and write programs in a new paradigm (e.g. haskell and functional programming) before I "get it". I have to watch videos. What seems to take other people minutes can cost me days of effort.

I read tech books every day. Every day for 50 years amounts to a lot of work.

STEM didn't lose you. You gave up.

You're going to live another 50 years. You can be in STEM.

Don't give up.
