In case you haven't noticed, a majority of people on Windows or macOS use software that was originally part of the "UNIX software stack" -- between SSH, bash, GCC, FFmpeg, etc. I am pretty sure you could find at least one piece of "originally UNIX" software that at least a majority of programmers using any given OS use.

Anyway, I think you miss the point of Haiku if you think it'll never get anywhere because of how much UNIX software runs on it. It's not here just to "be different from everyone else." The POSIX API makes a lot of sense; anyone going against it has to have a particularly good reason to do so. Even Apple doesn't, for the most part.
If you have spacetime, you might consider sharing this with LGBTQ and kink communities experiencing the Tumblr diaspora.

Lots of people feel uprooted from sex-positive and/or tightly-bound communities they've been part of for years, and don't know how to rediscover or rebuild the healthy networks they've lost on Tumblr.

>That's all google, facebook, microsoft, etc. you know the companies that we KNOW are guilty of operating a cartel to drive down wages

The cartel was broken around 2010 and that (together with options expensing) have led to the compensations growth from $150K back then to $400K+ today. If anything the FB, Google, etc are driving everybody's wages up today.

Here's what Wikipedia says (source quoted there): In 2010 the International Panel on Fissile Materials said "After six decades and the expenditure of the equivalent of tens of billions of dollars, the promise of breeder reactors remains largely unfulfilled and efforts to commercialize them have been steadily cut back in most countries". In Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States, breeder reactor development programs have been abandoned.

Is there some economically viable breeder reactor that you know of? Where is it?

Even the base plants aren't economically self-sustaining. If governments didn't subsidize nuclear, no company would be involved at all.

I can see a lot of value in routers becoming mini home servers + IoT device hubs. There should also be some standard way for devices to let the router know if they should have access to the outer internet so things like lightbulbs only have access to the iot hub and then the hub has access to the internet.

Really? It's not like any of us don't know of the existence of Coca-Cola; I think that the vast majority of advertising we encounter on a daily basis is for products we know about already (even though this is probably less true now than it was towards the beginning of my life.)

My dad worked for an IT consulting firm in that era - so Y2K literally put a roof over my head and clothes on my back. I didn't see it as insulting. It was important work, everyone understood the urgency, worked diligently on fixing it, and got the job done with a minimum of fuss. The fact that so many people today think of Y2K as an overrated problem is testament to how good of a job everyone did.
If you can do programming now, and you have a remote gig... then I'm guessing you can get more work.

You have a lot of potential to earn more income to do more of the same work you're doing already. That's probably the easiest and most efficient way to get (and save) more income.

How did you get the gig that you're working now?
Thank you, this seems very useful and much nicer than doing a jsfiddle as you can work locally. There's nothing wrong with reposting good work as I would have missed it otherwise. Bravo.

I can't find any historical reason noncompetes were banned. I assume it happened because California was a new state and people coming there to work did not want to get stuck with the first employer they happened to end up with. There also would not have been a heavily established business lobby with enough power to prevent a ban, as there was on the east coast. California was writing a new legal code, so there was not an established precedent of noncompete agreements in state law.

If noncompetes hadn't been banned when California was such a young state, they probably never would have been. It was a time when a lot of things lined up to make it possible.
Ask HN: What's the best way to give early employees ownership?
Question: What's the best way to give early employees ownership in a private tech company?

And by best, I mean best for the employees, not the company. There's options, RSU's, straight up equity (tax issues for receiver), and probably more...

With public companies, I get the value of issuing stock, because it has liquid value. But with private companies, without a definite IPO on the horizon, I'm truly interested at what talented engineers believe is the fairest instrument to share ownership/reward.

I own a private tech company that makes $30m rev, is profitable, and has big potential. We currently have no shared ownership and I want to roll out a plan that has real value for employees, not perceived hype.

Your thoughts/feedback would help me a ton!

My takeaways from that article:

When comparing AMP pages to their associated canonical pages, the most striking difference is that AMP pages are significantly lighter (905 KB vs. 2,762 KB) and load significantly fewer assets (61 vs. 318 requests). (All numbers are median values from testing 50 pages.)

Many people have slow phones and expensive internet, and for them this difference enables them to browse news sites, literally.
Ascetic types may indeed become uninterested in the day to day grind of the world at large, but they are very much seeking some culturally-specific version of exaltation or enlightenment.

"The amateur, then, is learning about his problem, and any learning about programming he does may be a nice frill or may be a nasty impediment to him. The professional, conversely, is learning about his profession—programming—and the problem being programmed is only one incidental step in his process of development.

"The other side of this observation is that the professional never quite takes any problem as seriously as does the amateur. He has had bugs before, and he will have them again. This difference in attitude is a source of constant friction between the two types: the professional is very tired and a bit irritated by the unending stream of amateurs waving their printouts in his face and condemning the machine, the operator, the system, the keypuncher, the language, or the government. The amateur, on the other hand, can see that the professional does not even care that his means and standard deviations are not going to be ready in time for inclusion in the proceedings of the conference."

> People keep talking about IRC but no one want to go back there

Speak for yourself. I never left and I find it very tedious when I'm forced to use anything else. In practice 90% of the justification for any other system seems to be that people want to post inane cat pictures at each other. That just isn't worth the tradeoffs for me. The 'modern replacements' for IRC are even bigger workplace distractions than IRC.
I'm sorry, but Slack is garbage, and those complaints are silly.

Having to search the entire conversation history in the chat window is a terrible idea because it's slow and difficult to use. Having a separate tool or page to search history is a superior solution, and software exists to do that in IRC.

Rich text is over rated, and 99% of messages don't use it anyway. Believe it or not nobody wants to see your silly gif, and they'd be just fine with :-) instead of an emoji.

Integrating with IRC is also trivial because its a standardized open protocol and there are a ton of tools available. It doesn't need a bunch of pre-fab "integrations" because it's not using a dumb proprietary API.

But having an IT guy spend half a day properly setting up an IRC server is hard and it doesn't have a crappy web UI by default, so lets all use Slack.
They did that for years already, I believe. It didn't work.
As an aside, this is one of the least charitable ways you could have responded to that comment. It's probably why you're getting downvoted. This is why what you wrote is dismissive:

1. They quoted the portion of your comment relevant to their response,

2. They explained in a straightforward and neutral way why what you said in the quoted portion doesn't really make sense,

3. You responded without any specifics about what you're not following,

4. You assumed they simply failed to understand you.

Now, I think the part you didn't follow is this: you tried to preempt noncompete "apologists" working at large tech companies in California. However as a rule, such companies generally do not (and cannot) rely on noncompetes, which means what you're saying isn't applicable. Further, the merits of your original point notwithstanding, it's also kind of dismissive to call those on the other side of the argument "apologists" in the way you did.

I write React every day and don't know what you're referring to – you can just call fetch() in a lifecycle hook and be done with it, just like in any other framework.

But mostly I'm curious how your point relates to this blog post. Maybe you can clarify? The stuff they're doing with Apollo here that potentially comes across as boilerplate also gets query batching, caching, refetching, etc. for free (in addition to the fancy stuff they also talk about like automatic mocks). It's not like they're "just sending a request." Maybe you can show me how you do all that in another framework without some setup/wrappers/etc.?

Sounds like what you’d be interested in is insulin sensitivity, the ability to control blood sugar with the minimal amount of insulin possible. Sadly this is also a huge pain in the butt to measure, and the only way I’ve heard is to spike your blood sugar and time how long it takes to return to normal.

I personally use a keto mojo to measure blood glucose and blood ketone bodies. I’m not diabetic so I don’t need to use it, but I’m a fan of being able to tell how far into ketosis I am.

Paul Krugman made a very interesting observation about those "better salaries for college graduates". He pointed out that all of their "perceived" gain was from the drop in income of people below them. They weren't actually getting a bigger share of the rising profits. So the wealthy are making more money, but not giving any greater share to anybody, and giving less to those without degrees. Our system is truly messed up here in the United States.

But if you ARE taught it, suddenly it becomes possible. If you are brought up in a philosophical tradition which essentially says: "Knowledge is forming a theory, and then trying to disprove it", then suddenly ignorance becomes visible.

In the two line example: sure, you mind tells you they're different, but if you're taught that knowledge is about trying to falsify your own opinion, you think about how it might be disproved. You go grab a ruler, bring it back to measure the two lines, and hot damn!

Growing up, I had a very similar moment trying to understand the Monty Hall problem. I was SO frustrated when my intuition said that I was right, I actually grabbed my father (sorry dad) and made him sit down with me while we physically ran through a hundred or so actual physical simulations and recorded the results to see whether practice would match up against theory or my intuition.

It matched up with theory. I learnt a very valuable lesson about intuition and probability.

Of course you're absolutely right however, almost no education system is actually set up to teach or grade using that style...and most kudos is given in academia for making positive claims rather than setting up realistic hypothesese and then working to actively disprove your own or other people's theories.
They're roughly equal if the singly-linked list is just a head pointer, because the "each object is only reachable through a single path, which owns it" property means the compiler can reason about what's going on. It's when you add a tail pointer (or go whole hog and make it doubly-linked) that you lose that property and have to use unsafe code (or heavyweight things like Arc<Mutex<...>>) to get the compiler off your back.
That is exactly what IRCCloud does.

I have my documents organized by topic, my code repos organized by... well, each folder is a repo in ~/code.

Stuff like bills and receipts I don't usually download, I just keep copies in my email archives and purge old ones once a year or so.

I keep everything that's pending review in ~/downloads, even if it's not a download, because my home folder is a bit cluttered with dotfiles and I like to keep hidden files visible. I don't use a desktop folder so this is my equivalent to what many people use their desktops for.

My pictures are generally just in folders with a date and meaningful name like "2018-11-FL-Vacation".

Music is just all piled into one folder since my car's USB reader can only read from the top-level folder and I mostly download stuff to listen to in the car.

By the way, since you mentioned PDFs, a handy tool to use is pdfgrep (https://pdfgrep.org/) to do text searches of PDF documents. I also use the 'locate' command a lot to quickly find files by filename/directory.

If the Input Mono Condensed you're referring to comes from https://djr.com/input/ I recommend reviewing that font's license.

https://djr.com/license/ is a non-free license (the license does not respect your software freedoms to run, copy, share, and modify the software). The license is revocable under unclear and incompletely specified conditions: This license can be terminated at any time for no declared reason "without the obligation of notice or opportunity to cure [a breach of any term of this agreement]". The license tries to place limits that could go beyond what power copyright law grants in Massachusetts, USA (the region the license will be interpreted within).

Yeah now I remember from reading this paper a few weeks ago: An important point is that SSA is not executable!!! The Phi nodes need to be removed I suppose.

I will have to read this paper about Appel to see how that comes into play.

SSA form cannot be directly interpreted in order to generate code. Therefore it
must be destructed before compilation can continue. This involves using an algorithm
that converts phi-functions into appropriately-placed copy instructions.

You're language is still not quite right. A cross product does not include those parts of the outer joins. An inner join is a subset of a cross product, but an outer join includes elements not in either. What you say would be true of a full outer join, but not a cross product. If one circle in the Venn diagram represents the left join and one circle right join, then the Venn diagrams would be correct but not if the circles represent separate tables.
That's a great explanation -- I didn't get why it was so funny when I read it originally.
