That should be true, I agree, however it is not.
Here is a source outlining the laws in each state.

http://ask.legalsolutions.thomsonreuters.info/cc-nto-vacatio...

For example, in my state, the law is;
Unused vacation will not be not considered wages unless an employment agreement, union contract, or company policy provides that vacation will be cashed out on termination of employment, in which case an employee may have a claim for vacation pay if the terms of the agreement, contract, or policy are not followed (Chrin v. Cambridge Hydrodynamics, Inc., 2003 WL 25754809 (N.J. App. Div. Dec. 30, 2003); see New Jersey Department of Labor & Workforce Development: Wage and Hour Compliance FAQs).
They have quite a bit of Rust as well. At least where they require integration with a C/C++ codebase like this Rust is a very good choice.
Thanks to other commenters for the Balena and miniNodes links. I would be interested in something neatly packaged so it would look nice on my desk that had about a dozen computer boards with local networking set up.
Brutalism can be beautiful. The Washington, D.C. Metro system's coffer vaults is generally ranked highly in terms of aesthetically pleasing designs, and is also a prime example of brutalism.
I was interested. But couldn't get their company details and no Privacy Policy, not via their chat either.

They just repeated "Draftss" as company name, but I can't find any such company.
Yeah, the presumption is that entry in the program is based on them sharing documents and other data with authorities that pass some level of scrutiny.
Currently I use a cheap bin/shelf system from Harbor Freight to store some electronics parts (like resistors and microcontrollers) but it can be hard to track what I have and don't have.

My tools are laid out on a shelf which is a big improvement over having everything thrown in a cardboard box which was how I had it for many years sadly!
I've tried to do what OP did more than a couple times using native HTML tables (for the same reason you suggest) and I've found it to be nearly impossible. Trying to force a table to keep columns one specific width and not jump around every time you change one of the cells is somewhere between an exercise in futility and not worth the pain. I think OP went the right way here.
The AST is accessible in python, I wish more projects took advantage of it.
Yeah, from personal experience, I spent two years working remotely from home, then a year in a co-working space with colleagues. It wasn't until I then went back to remote working that my wife finally started to 'get' these boundaries - mostly when I started musing about renting a co-working space!

I'm not a very assertive person. She is a very assertive person. That really doesn't help.

Some people think boundaries are for everyone else. (It didn't help that her mum has always worked from home, and rarely enforced any boundaries.) And at the time, the only desk space was in the middle of a main thoroughfare in the flat.

But yes, totally agree. Those years where there were no boundaries were some of the most stressful of my life. The usual inferiority complex, coupled with thinking "I would get so much more done if I wasn't constantly interrupted" is enough to send you crazy or end relationships.

We survived though. It still isn't always plain sailing, but mostly it's better. I have my own little office space, away from the day-to-day world. And mostly I can keep my door open, and know I'm unlikely to be disturbed.
Disbanding regulations when companies are that much dug in to a market where there can't reasonably be any competition speaks of extremely anti-taxpayer corporatism, especially when these companies are receiving tax money from the government. I'm leaning towards thinking that the FCC is due some sort of investigation into its activities...

I'm usually not a fan of regulation but it really needs to be said that when huge companies that are often bigger than a lot of the world's government basically come to own huge chunks of critical infrastructure, what other bargaining chip does the average tax payer have to have their interests represented?

That being said, the article mentioning that Verizon is cutting 10k people from its media arm is disingenuous. It has nothing to do with net neutrality, it's a case of large companies misjudging the market for VP-funded, artificially grown blog companies. It has nothing to do with anyone's infrastructure. A multi-national with multiple arms in multiple lines of business will make decisions independent of its own arms and dependent on the market.

Ask HN: How do I build a Linux phone?
I have zero knowledge about what it takes to build a linux phone, please help me understand what I need to learn to be able to build one.

I can spare maybe $20k to experiment over the course of my learning and can travel to shenzhen if required.

How do I go about doing this?

I want to start by installing ubports and postmarketos on a device like the nexus 5 and understand how the OS works. What else would I need to learn to reach my goal of building a linux phone? A learning path would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Somewhat related : is it possible to stick a raspberry pi compute module in a phone form factor and boot raspian? That would be a cheap way to start.
That's even assuming you know whose responsible for hiring them, which you don't, unless you work in a 5 person company.
To be fair, entropy increases in any software project, whether or not it was designed under an OOP or FP paradigm. Quite easy to write spaghetti code and get into callback hell scenarios with FP.

The parent comment specifically addressed that concern. Everyone gets the same severance (reduced by average accrued PTO) plus whatever their individual accrued PTO is. In this scheme no one gets uncompensated PTO.
Or give them a small percentage of what they save tax payers. A whistle-blower who saves tax payers billions should be set for life.

Or concurrency safe. There aren't many languages that can help with this class of bugs. Like race conditions. (Someone on HN said Pony is another language that has concurrency/thread safety guarantees.)
This is not the case in Utah. I started my career in California and left a previous job in Utah with weeks of PTO unused and was shocked to discover there was no legal requirement to pay me for that time.
How can you say that with such certainty?

Vapes have been around for at least 20 yrs and have not replaced cigarettes in any way... nicotine pills are even older and continue without a significant dent in the tobacco industry.
I think like anything else, there are tiers to this profession. It's fair for someone in this position to call themselves a programmer but I think the OP is doing themselves an injustice by not taking the time to actually learn how to write code. Writings like this are fine, but a point should be made that progressing ones skillset is just as important as getting into the profession.

Otherwise, we support the notion that you don't need to learn how to solve problems to be a "Programmer". Which at its essence, is what a "Programmer" is.
Sounds like if you think your company might do layoffs soon, take all of your PTO right now.

Using C++ for kernel development means you first have to drop most of the useful parts of C++ and take usability hits with almost all the other features.

Rust and C have an advantage because both are fairly close to the metal, Rust in no_std mode isn't much different than C but the compiler is angry at you all the time.

Why spend time editing? Having code in your Github account checks the box and a little editing isn't going to make much difference under detailed technical review. Spending time finding clients/customers is the most important thing you can do. It is also the hardest and so easier things that "seem like work, but are not" are always attractive.
I have a "Foodsaver" (vacuum sealer) that I use with the block. I'll open the bag, cut off what I think I'll use either immediately or within the next few days, and then vacuum-seal the bag again.

Before I had that, I would usually wrap the cheese in a layer of wax paper, followed by a layer of foil, and put that in the freezer, taking it out as I needed it. Hard cheeses in the freezer will turn white and may no longer be useful to eat shards of on their own, but they're still fine for grating and melting.

C++ can bring very little baggage. That's why its widely used in Embedded environments.

And I'd wager that C++ can write far better optimized abstractions than a human in C every could. In most cases.

Writing memory-safe C is clearly possible - many other enviroments are written in C. It come down to using a safe subset.
You can blame Trump for this one too.
Which is fine, but if the chain is getting too deep you probably have excessive granularity and/or complexity. Foo could be defined in the same header as Bar if they are always used together. I still can't see getting anywhere near 300 levels deep in this stuff. You can also forward declare Foo in the header if it's just referenced via pointers in Bar.

This is the type of complexity that a good software "architect" should be trying to reduce rather than manage.
And Wales. I live on the edge of Snowdonia, and we’ve had a little snow over the past week - and mountain rescue have been flying back and forth several times a day every day to go rescue folks who are more often than not woefully underprepared - the weather here can turn on a dime, and a nice sunny jeans and light jacket day can turn into a blizzard almost spontaneously.

I always carry water, a rat pack and an emergency shelter, even if I’m only going for an afternoon hike in the summer - but you’ll often see people herding their kids about like they’re at Disneyland.

I suppose part of it is having had the experience of being stranded without - as a kid I got badly lost in the alps after skiing down the wrong side of a mountain at dusk (I thought it was the same valley the resort was in - it was not), and spent a night in a snow hole by a tree before I found my way to a track. I was fine, a little frostnipped, very exhausted, but it scared the bejesus out of me.
`hg record` has been supplanted by `hg commit -i` (for `--interactive`), which has an improved UI that is certainly more flexible than the old `hg record`.
Sound great, but it's an insanely steep wall to climb.

* Their main goal, and problem, is to exchange to & from other currencies. They'll be subject to their coin being a poison pill that causes any bank or exchange dealing with it to be sanctioned, risking their own access to SWIFT, etc. How will they attract miners when miners will face the same exchange difficulties?

* Trust will be minimal, since it not only starts out as just another shtcoin among thousands, but unless they are VERY transparent and do no pre-mining or take other excess rights/value available to coin-makers, who else would trust it? E.g., that Venezuelan coin, supposedly backed by oil barrels, has it done anything good?

Even if they do get people to trust it, and get ways to exchange it, they'll certainly be target of state-level cyber-attacks if the currency gains any traction, and either a massive corrupting hack or a 51% attack could be even more devastating than having never started in the first place.

> a real benefit to finding like minded/same focus freelancers or remote workers

Absolutely yes, whether through chance meetings, networking events (ugh) or just common interests and meeting naturally.

Unfortunately most of the coworking spaces I've been at made bringing guests (and more than one) for more than an hour or two kind of a pain - which is fair, that seems like an abuse of the space.

I have had a lot of luck with hosting "Hack Nights" in my living room. I tell everyone to bring something to work on, and I provide food and beer/wine/tea/coffee. I've had people show up with their music synths and work on composing while someone else works on their drawing, and someone else codes. It's reasonably productive time and people who need help or opinions can easily seek them out from others at the same time.

The hack night concept works nicely because there's no pressure to work on the thing you're known for. If you're a genius programmer from 9-5, there's no reason you can't bring your scifi writing setup to work on instead. You still get to be a resource for others, while not just extending your own work day.
Also one of the best examples of what you lose in this changing society though. The decline of the middle class in general is of course problematic, but at least some of these jobs weren't worth saving as activities (though probably as careers). However that you can't have sustainable career as a common nurse, teacher or construction worker is a huge problem. Because these professions can't necessarily be paid a lot and also serve the public.

Mine stays good for 6+ months in the fridge, I buy a big hunk. Moisture and mold control is essential though. There are five key things to do:

- Keep it in a sealed container, otherwise it'll dry out completely in a couple weeks and become inedible

- Put a single folded-up paper towel in the sealed container to absorb gradual amounts of moisture that come out. Otherwise condensation will form on the cheese and mold will grow quickly

- Replace the paper towel with a new one every 2 weeks (it'll be slightly damp)

- Keep the hunk solid (don't pre-cut) and always grate/shave from the "oldest" area. Mold only grows on the surface, so as long as you're using it once every week or two, the surface doesn't exist for too long, so zero mold

- Cut off the rind before any of this, since otherwise it would accumulate mold eventually. Save rinds in the freezer until you make minestrone or another appropriate soup, and cook with them -- they'll stay solid but the soup will absorb all the flavor from the rind, and then you fish it back out at the end

Maybe it sounds like a lot of work, but a $50 chunk can last half the year if you're using it by yourself every couple days for scrambled eggs, simple pastas, shavings on salads, and so on. It turns out to be a pretty affordable luxury.
People often say “he/she is a good catch.” Sure, the term probably comes from hunting but I have always considered it to be a compliment.

Sure, many good people follow the law because they're not assholes, but they were out advertised and out grown by one asshole who broke the law and was never punished.

On a micro scale, not wanting to be an asshole will cause people to follow the laws. On a macro scale, the only way to make people follow the law is to make breaking the law costly.

Atm the barriers are all the unstable features you need to rely on as well as rust and LLVM bugs.

The LLVM bug I've encountered makes it impossible to properly handle interrupts with error codes unless you use [naked], which is unreliable in my experience.

The Rust bugs are on one hand a None variable being initialized to a Some() value and a bug where rust injects a few instructions between inline assembly that corrupt the stack.

These problems can usually be worked around in some ways, it's annoying and means the rust compiler is not quite there yet.

However, with rust it's easier to reason about why an error occured than in C, atleast in my experience, although some things can only be found out by trial and error (corrupted stack or hitting undefined instructions), as a result I would predict that Rust could result in a lot more fun designs and architectures than simply writing a Microkernel (Redox).

> Using C++ for kernel development means you first have to drop most of the useful parts of C++ and take usability hits with almost all the other features.

What? No... the most useful parts of C++ are its compile-time facilities... templates and type utilities and RAII/smart pointers/etc. (I could go on and on) all of which are still there. You'd lose some runtime stuff like the ability to throw exceptions and some RTTI, which some people already advise each other to avoid in user mode too (not to say I agree, but they're still finding a lot of use in C++ without this). If losing those is equivalent to losing most of C++ for you then you're not really taking advantage of C++ to begin with.

My unscientific opinion on this is that these articles will continue to appear as living standards in rich countries continues to fall due to living costs outstripping wage growth, and the outsourcing of more and more work to other countries.

The wealth enjoyed by the rich world in the post-WW2 order has been built up by international cooperative agreements done to maintain peace but also generate income and build markets (Highway Bill, GI Bill, Marshall Plan, EEA trading bloc, GATT/WTO etc).

These days, it feels like we are experiencing the last trickle of dividends from those days. The structure of the economy has been predominantly service-oriented economy for decades now, but now it's about doing more with fewer people.

Realistically, I don't know what kinds of jobs will continue to provide middle-class salaries in the volumes that were available before. If you worked as a customer support rep, you've been offshored. If you worked as a trucker, automation is coming; you won't be fired, but you won't be driving as much and you won't get paid as much.

Thousands of trucker and miners looking to 'retrain' as front-end developers is a pipe dream pushed by politicians since time immemorial. There simply aren't enough jobs in those roles.
We are still in process of setting up things. Would provide you with the required details. Here is my email: jd@draftss.com
Almost all of major exchanges block Iranian users. There are risks, but you can use fake identities, VPNs and such techniques to bypass restrictions. The main problem is converting among cryptocurrencies and USD, but there are channels and people that supply stable coins using links with neighbor countries. In fact, USDT price in Iran is just about 5% higher than USD. Having USDT or by mining, you can easily trade all cryptocurrencies, especially in crypto-to-crypto exchanges.

Also local exchanges like out startup operate in Iran to match domestic supply and demand without the need of external entities. But anyways, this is all about not-so-large sums of money and not government level transactions.

Coworking spaces aren't about work. As a small business owner who uses a coworking space, my perspective is that it's about signaling that you are a real business with a business address. Working from home may work for freelancers or online only businesses, but the second you start signing contracts or having meetings, you need a professional space to be taken seriously.

That said, it's incredibly hard for me to get anything done in a noisy environment with no visual barriers and so many wantrepreneurs around. I like the coffee, camaraderie and event spaces, but for most days, working from home is sufficient.
