Six months? My wife and I receive exactly as many paid days as we have saved up PTO. So, about three weeks each. Any time after that is unpaid, but we’re protected from being fired for three months.
Yes, about ten years ago when founding a startups because we thought it might be useful for press releases and similar publications.

It probably wasn't the best way to spend our limited resources at the time. However, the pictures weren't particularly expensive either and I still use one for profile pictures and similar use cases, mostly because otherwise there aren't that many decent headshots of myself. Well, there's this one but I suppose it'd not be particularly suitable for a professional setting: https://bjoernkw.com/images/top-hat.jpg

So, in hindsight I'd say I got my money's worth for those shots.
I love trains and have taken Amtrak many times. I want to see rail well-funded.

That being said, high-speed rail is often seen as a ploy for other things.

The best example I can think of is during the Obama administration the attempt to build a High Speed rail link between Manhattan and Washington DC. Bringing Wall Street closer to DC is the last thing the world needs, and shows how out of touch the rail planners were at times.

As I remember they had some other great plans like in Florida that were sadly rejected, but I never got a clear explanation for some of those real dumb proposals that made everyone suspicious and tanked the project.
Which version of script are you using? Mine replies to script --version with "script from util-linux 2.31.1". It doesn't support those flags.

However, I can use it like this:

script --command='vim code.py' --timing=typescript.timing typescript
scriptreplay -t typescript.timing -s typescript
Saw it on twitter, which upon consideration maybe should be taken with a grain of salt.

If you work with the Chinese government to carry out or abide by censorship practices, you are oppressing people. You have the choice to not comply.
It interesting/despairing to see that the modern world just seem to end up formalizing age old things like collusion and corruption. So many of these situation are essentially lose-lose-lose. I really wonder if any country will manage to keep on track, or we all wake up when we realize there is competition. It isn't exactly unknown how to be successful as a country, or at least it is pretty well known how to fail. It is weird that everything have become easier, yet more complex. I guess that is why all the super vertically integrated companies are outperforming the rest of society.
I was thinking more the executive branch...
Allowing one's children to be raised by strangers is lazy and selfish. And absurd.
I believe the company is less concerned with paying someone who isn't working - which is basically just a fixed cost they can absorb - than they are about the lost productivity while that person is gone. That may or may not be replaceable, and often is not for shorter time spans (say, up to a couple of months). Unfortunately, the government paying for leave wouldn't fixed that misaligned incentive.
What's the problem with letting them work part-time from home while they're rearing their newborn? Maybe show up at the office with their newborn once a week to catch up in person. I don't get it. It's not like the work typically conducted at such foundations requires them to be in the office 100% of the time.
Fast HOV lanes would make buses go faster, and if the HOV lane's expensive, most people would find taking a bus to use it most economical. Honestly I think if you instituted congestion pricing, Uber/Lyft would reinvent themselves as bus agencies in many cities.
Still, SFO and LAX is the most traveled route in the US, with 30,000 flights in 2015 [0]. If HSR is viable anywhere in the US it’s this route.

That's very unfortunate and I'm sorry you have to deal with that.

But what of Rome, and Paris? Do people with your condition live in them? Those cities aren't built around cars, yet have millions of people from all walks of live.

If we make cities built around cars, and people don't walk, then people get more health problems and die younger. That has to be considered alongside cases like yours.
You use the words "choosing to live far away" but all that generally means is they are poor. Clearly they should just buy a house and move to downtown San Fransisco like everyone who cares about the environment does.
> Things like making retirement saving opt-out instead of opt-in

This isn't about the retirees as much as it's about society as a whole and the economics thereof.

Simply: Most cultures are now unwilling to put up with old people dying in the streets. We're even iffy on the idea of workhouses and other accoutrements of the Poor Law. Therefore, we have welfare, in multiple forms, and having a lot of people hitting welfare in their Medically Expensive Years is bad for multiple reasons.

> hiding information about a probable disaster to avoid panic

More like avoiding blame when they're culpable.

> E.g. evacuating a city of million+ will necessarily cause a lot of deaths and heavily disrupt regional economy, leading to further deaths and suffering. Therefore, it's IMO justified for the government to avoid triggering evacuations if the risk is low, even if that means sitting on some information.

Failure to prepare on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part... and if it does, I demand to know that you failed to prepare, so you can face some consequences.
It didn't. I was admin on a VAX 11/780 back around 1980. One day I noticed two directories contained the same files and assumed they were duplicate do I deleted one copy to open up some disk space (we were using RM80 disks). Then I noticed that the files had disappeared from both folders, because they were hard linked.

I was like "oh shit" because they were system files. I called support and they helped restore the files from tape and then I rebooted. So I can honestly say that VMS is very similar to Unix in that respect.
I don’t think it’s unpopular, it’s just an unfortunate reality.

An individual’s compensation is dependent on how much people with similar skills, backgrounds, and experiences will accept.

Is this fair?

Nope, and that’s why we have minimum wage. No matter how low the wage is, people will accept the job for the money.

It would be hard(if not impossible) to implement an effective universal minimum wage for international workers, but I don’t see any other solutions.

What needs to be in recommended videos is niche stuff that falls into similar categories of things you have watched. That is what needs to be recommended, not a video with a million views already which compounds the winner-take-all tendency of the internet and memetic information spread. Something that is so hugely popular will be recommended through word-of-mouth or posts from other sites. They are making it harder to find lesser known pieces of information, essentially burying valuable stuff in a torrent of already popular videos.
>I was going to mention that it is a lot like Rebol and Red in philosophy, but you beat me to it.

I agree, the philosophies are similar. Minimalism, relying more on your own code than libraries, not generalizing your code for a lot of cases that might not happen, etc.

One thing that puzzles me about Forth, though:

I did read a few books about it (much earlier, and I'm not a language designer, so what I say next could be wrong). Some of them talked a bit about Forth's internal design. I understood from that, that when multiple words (Forth subroutines) are defined, they are "threaded", from which I understood that they are added to a linked list of word definitions. Wondered why it needed to be a linked list. If it was a lookup table of some kind, like a Python dict or a Ruby hash (basically an associative array), looking up word definitions to run them would be faster than in a linked list, which is linear, I'd think.

Edit: I did just have an idea of what the reason for that may be, but will wait a bit to see if anyone replies with their explanation. Hint about my idea: it may have to do with Charles Moore's Forth philosophy - just a guess on my part.
Sir Tony Hoare is a legend! Personally one of my favorite concurrency constructs that he invented, but aren't mentioned in the interview, are conditional critical regions. A very simple abstraction that helps you write concurrent code that's maintainable and easy to read. Plus, from my experience, they provide a much more elegant way to solve various concurrency problems.

Only possible drawback is that they might perform worse than the alternative, at least in some cases.
Well obviously make sure that it's the appropriate solution. I just find that many times the solution tends to favour a data structure which allows for constant time access. It really depends obviously on the interviewer.
The costs of a woman or man or both on family leave will probably be paid by other employees, through extra work and lower salaries or the removal or a perk. Like laptop refreshes, or lunch subsidies.
Well get this github malware my x is using in my iPhone and 30 other androids I’ve had in 5 months out my phone and I’d pay . It’s between my boot and mane system he does that to create a tunnel so he can swipe out all my apps and puts his in to steal money when people play games buys off amazon and it’s wild but I’m sick of his crap he is already in my iPhone I just bought four days ago . It shows my boot was unlocked and much more he’ll hack him and take what he has taken from many others it’s a good idea but I caught him with his own handwriting github is government malware that is used to fix companies computers not take over and steal money or is even pay to get info out his phone for proff on his but they hit my credit with loans and left me homeless . I’m being stocked hacked by racked videos from my own phone and I have children that are girls
It likely would be, actually, but I think 2 years is more economically sustainable. Like it or not, for a society to work, we have to procreate and raise kids. To make raising kids properly (which is already hard work) impossible is idiotic and counterproductive.
Thanks for the exact numbers that really helps.

I will say those numbers on websites are lowered by the vast number of H1-B’s.

Also Indeed is rolling out a salary estimate tool and they’ve had companies call in to complain the estimate is too low and scaring away candidates lol.
>run it through taxes and the government

I would rather take the selfishness of a corporation instead of the apathy and incompetence of a US government bureaucracy.
No I'm an ordinary professional. I don't start typing until I've thought it out, and then it's a very mediocre 100-115wpm. I'm saying the article author must be an exceptionally slow typist, or prone to mistakes - not that I am anything more than average.

> plenty of left-wing thinkers have advocated for police abolition.

Impossible. Not bad or wrong or even stupid, but impossible.

If you have no police, everyone's police. How is that abolishing the police?
I agree with you but to play devil's advocate, the women in the US who are most likely to get paid leave are in highly skilled salaried positions (which is also abhorrent in its own way).

While it's definitely a good thing to have parents spend as much time as possible with their family, the economy would be better served by having these parents back in the workforce while a lower-skilled person takes care of the children during the day.

I think the best way to have your cake and eat it too, in terms of overall economic productivity and parent-child bonding, is to subsidize childcare so that the economic incentive to stay home is removed. The choice to stay home would only be made with the consideration of the child in mind.

Here in New York for example, we pay $25k on daycare per child. Depending on the parent's individual salaries, the gains in income vs childcare expenses becomes marginal after 2-4 children.
Sadly, you've done what I wanted to avoid; making this subject extremely complicated.

When you simplify, you need to drop a lot of accuracy and I'm not totally familiar with the field so even more gets lost.

This is above my understanding, not to mention that of someone I'm trying to explain this in very basic and simple terms.
Into the dark
In some cases, it is depending on the companies policy. If you get vacation accrued immediately instead of "earned hours" then yes. Subsidizing just means financially supporting. Companies subsidize a lot of things for workers, from college tuition, healthcare to special credit rates (at least at some insurance/financial firms that lend to their own workers.)
You are talking about language features.

The patent protects how a compiler implements some features in a multi-target environment. Nothing to do with optional chaining.
The problem is that in many places that would be illegal.
I'm not sure which class at business school is teaching everyone that "If you can get away with it do it! Have zero shame!" because it's probably time to remove that one from the Harvard curriculum.
I'm in the same situation and I can't figure out Google's reasoning here.

It seems like an attempt to address bad publicity in the articles mentioned below - which largely boiled down to misleading reporting. And the remedy doesn't accomplish much outside hurting small developers and Google's reputation in the ecosystem.

I'll never build anything on top of Google again. I might end up repurposing my work on top Outlook instead. From what I've heard, they are much more supportive of their developers.

no, poor decision making is what kills people. cars are incidental to that (plenty of other machinery are involved in deaths as well).

if you want to reduce vehicle deaths (which have already been steadily declining) make getting a license much harder (e.g., demonstrate true defensive driving skills like both braking and accelerating out of trouble) and develop & enforce better safety laws (i.e., not some proxy like speed, but actually reduce behavior likely to cause death).

besides, we've long collectively accepted the tradeoff that we want fast personal transport more than a perfectly safe transportation environment. life is full of risks, and some risks will always be out of your control no matter what you do. hundreds of people die per year from bathtubs. are we over-reliant on those too?
I live in Oslo. Calling it car-free is a stretch.

The city council have done a great deal of improvements - increased frequency of public transport, city bikes, most parking spaces in the inner city are removed (still plenty of private parking garages), paid roadside parking per hour in outer city districts (only residents can park long term) and a $5-$8 toll road around the city. They have also opened up the seaside to the public - you can walk along the sea for from one side of town to the other for hours.

This has definitely made for a much more lively city, but it comes with a hidden cost that is not so easily visible - gentrification.

The lively city with its hundreds of new bars and restaurants are attracting young, educated people, while the difficulties of owning a car drives away the families that need their car to visit their grandparents, go to IKEA, drive to kindergarten on the other side of town etc. Sure, it's possible to use public transport, but everyone who has has small kids know that you do not want to spend an hour to get home with hungry kids.

We (family with two small kids) moved 5 miles out and get the best of both worlds instead. I would never live downtown though.
Seems unlikely. Europe have a higher labour force participation among women than the US, with paid parental leave (for both men and women).
You say "already in place". While it's certainly true that smog isn't anywhere near the problem it once was, it's still a problem, and others still pay for the consequences of automobile emissions.

Some quotes from various sources:

https://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-air-pollution-repo... - "Los Angeles remains the nation's leader in harmful ozone pollution from car tailpipes emissions ... but the report said the nation's second-largest city also achieved its best overall air quality score of all those years."

https://www.livestrong.com/article/156537-facts-of-car-pollu... - "The American Lung Association reports that 30,000 people are killed by car emissions annually in the United States alone. Air pollution also causes numerous respiratory and cardiovascular problems and may exacerbate pre-existing conditions such as asthma. More than half of Americans live in areas that fail to meet federal air quality standards at least several days each year."

https://www.pca.state.mn.us/air/motor-vehicle-pollution - "Motor vehicles give off more than half of all carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon emissions in Minnesota. These emissions, including microscopic particles, can contribute to breathing and heart problems along with an elevated risk of cancer."

https://owl.cwp.org/mdocs-posts/elc_pwp6/ - "Metals can follow many pathways before they become entrained in urban stormwater run off. A recent California study sponsored by the Santa Clara Valley Nonpoint Source Program suggests that cars are the dominant loading source for many metals of concern, such as cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, mercury, and zinc."

No, it's a program to help YC companies raise As from investors.
Light rail (including subways) already have. These solutions all suffer most of the same problems and it really doesn't matter which one succeeds, as long as they aren't part of a fantasy about revenue expectations. Over time, they pay for themselves...until the corruption sets in.
This is entirely fair -- I agree! REST isn't a protocol in the same sense that HTTP is. Although I believe a protocol's semantics and encodings should be distinguished a la REST, a way to talk about a particular encoding would be a very nice thing to have.
From just looking on Google Maps/street view, it seems like they primarily converted one road into strictly bike traffic, keeping the roads parallel to it typical road traffic. I don't think it's a bad idea, but to pretend like it is now devoid of vehicles is to advocate for a pipe dream fantasy.

In fact, the business pictured at the top corners a 4-lane vehicle traffic road with no bike lanes.
>> The average cost to provide center-based licensed child care for an infant in the United States is $1,230 per month.

It's interesting, how is it in other countries?
For most of my childhood I was raised by a single father. Maybe people on the street don't come out and say it, but many of them definitely think that a father can't provide everything a mother can and is in some way imperfect when compared to the care they think only a mother can provide.

This is complete bullshit, by the way.
You can't do that though. Incentives and institutions are what they are. If you could "take the selfishness out of a corporation" we wouldn't need government. We should design our systems for the world we have, not some idealized world that doesn't actually exist.
I dunno selfish, I could make the argument that raising your child yourself out of some misguided notion that you're the best person for that job is selfish.
I'll second this. I live in Dallas (130k base 30k incentive - Informal "full stack" development) and talking to head hunters 120k feels like what the market is at the moment.
Awesome, looks almost exactly to what I imagined building.

Thanks!

Show HN: CAPROI – A real restate investment tool with pre-calculated CAP rates
We'd like to show you CAPROI, a real estate search platform that has the CAP rate of every property in the US pre-calculated. By using filters it is able to display only the properties with CAP rates that meet a minimum threshold across the country. So when an investor is looking to invest they can target the properties with highest return. We started a month ago or so and collection about 100MM listings as well as rental data, crime statistics, neighborhood data, surrounding stores, unemployment rates, population growth and every other piece of publicly available that we could think of. We'd appreciated your thoughts and don't hesitate to reach out to me directly s@caproi.com
Maybe if you forced the employee to sign a contract where they had to work there for X amount of years, which is something the Armed Forces do. But then enforcing that, and hiring lawyers to claw back money through the courts would be extensive and just bad press.
What percentage of requirements should you keep in your source code?

CSS for example might assign a button to be green. Should you trace back to the specific requirement to say why it’s green or can you trust if somone changes it to blue it’s becase the requirement changed. I would generally say the second.

Ideally, the vast majority of requirements can be treated as such. Cases where I have wanted to include the comments generally relates to brittle code where some change likely has knock on effects. Ideally such code should be avoided where possible. IMO, such things are also better cought in unit tests and documented in source control providing more context.

That said, including things like design goal can be helpful to get people familiar with the system. But again IMO, specific requirements should rarely sit in comments rather than unit tests, design documents etc.
This sounds so wrong to me, and I don't even have kids yet. Until issues like this one aren't resolved then the inequality between men and women (in wages, management positions) will continue to remain the same, no matter the media rhetoric, for the simple fact that many women will choose not to go back to work (it's mostly women that make that sacrifice).
Portland, OR is halfway there already via mis-management. Nearly every parking space in the downtown core is a construction zone, 7am-7pm delivery zone, 15m quickstop, carshare, taxi zone, police/govmint only, etc. (see also: condo bunkers w/ no parking garages b/c everyone who moves to Portland will ride a bike, right?)

We have a pilot program for scooter share, multiple car-share options, lots of bike-share stations, light rail stations, even a flippin trolly! So they could easily start with a tight area around Pioneer Square and make it ped/scoot/bike-only then expand it out little by little as the businesses discover it's actually a good thing.

But instead we have "vision zero" which is a pretty good description for our city leadership.
