My kids dentist is closed Thursday and Friday, but open Saturday and Sunday. While this is great, the downside is it is you have to schedule well in advance and even still there is always still a wait. The plus side is they will work until all patients are seen that day.

That is a very true argument, which is why I expect anything in the future on this to be an expansion of Medicare instead of something completely new.

The ACA being a conservative health policy matters relatively little because it's not the ACA that's being targeted - it's "Obamacare." [edited out a ton of crap you likely already know if you care to] Basically it's not the policy that matters, it's who passed it.
Manoeuvres to Be the Perfect Git Citizen
Ask HN: Will software license be feasible for labor protection?
Recently a Github repo [0] that shows resentment towards the long work hours (996 style, or 9am-9pm, 6 days a week) in Chinese tech companies is gaining popularity quickly among Chinese programmers.

There is a discussion in the repo [1] (in Chinese) suggesting designing a new clause to existing software licenses for labor protection. For example, (from one of the post)

> the source code is not permitted to use at 996ICU style work environment.

The idea is that, if popular open source projects adopt this clause in their licenses, the work environment in China and maybe other countries will be improved.

I guess it can be more specific about "996ICU" or specify average weekly work hours limit etc. But the question is, how feasible will such license clause be? Will there be any insurmountable limitation that makes it useless in practice?

>This study you post is a very good formal rebuttal. In the best case scenario, where the person intentionally focuses on the study of ethics in college, it has no effect on personal moral/ethical advancement.

The argument made seems to have been that college helped improve ethical behavior, not necessarily that specialization was necessary. As all participants in this study were academics, it is not disputing any part of the argument.

What exhausts me is the people, the politics, the engineering egos, and the endless tolerance of companies to spend months of time working through previously obviously poor decisions and no tolerance for fixing the attitudes that created them. You’re called perfectionist engineer, regardless of how little effort or time it takes to correct the long term trajectory for your project. There’s little connection to clear organized thinking and the enjoyment of the work, it’s like everyone has gone mad and can’t see the obvious right in front of their face at times.
Hah, too late now, I kind of got over it on my own, but it was debilitating for a while. The catch 22 is that the brain that's tricking itself isn't aware that it's tricking itself. Once I realized over time that I was imagining it, I was able to put it behind. Also, no doctor that I went to see for my imagined problems ever suggested that I should seek treatment for health anxiety, which I guess I don't blame them for because they are supposed to take people's complaints seriously.
>You are, in effect, arguing about whether encrypted disks are useful at all

No at all, encrypted disks are very useful, you just cant show anyone the content.

The sole purpose of encrypted disks is to prevent somebody else from reading them once they are turned off. Your product turns them back on and makes it readable again without your interaction. Turning off those devices is however the only protection you had. So now you also need to turn off a second server.

And once someone has access to your running machine he can read it. Be it with simply copying the files or getting the key via some software with a big "HACK" button. https://www.elcomsoft.com/efdd.html

I don't think there's any link between certification and competency.

Here in Australia we're going mad for certifications. I had a friend who looked after kids in an after school program. A minimum wage job, but one that she loved. She'd been doing it for nearly 20 years. The government mandated that she needed a $2500 certificate in order to continue to do the job she'd been doing for two decades.

I don't believe there was anything that this certification could have taught her that she didn't already know. Heck, she should have been the one teaching the course. Instead it was being run by an organisation that specialised in running these kinds of certification programs, but certainly didn't specialise in the subject matter.

If we were to mandate certification for managers, my concern would be that - at best - it would end up as just another piece of paper. At worst, it would actively exclude the people who were most qualified and competent, like it did with my friend.
>One only hopes there is some free room for small companies from regulation, so this helpful regulation doesnt end as a moat for FB and others.

This is what has me worried. If regulations go as far as requiring content filtering, it would effectively cement Facebook/YouTube/etc as the dominant internet platforms, because small competitors can't afford to build those systems just to get started.

Vim with ~40 plugins loads in about 1 second for me and that's inside of WSL too, which is a heck of a lot slower than native Linux. That's on a 5 year old i5 3.2ghz too.

Here's one - attractiveness is roughly correlated with intelligence, and in the general case positive traits tend to correlate. An interview is an attempt to extract the maximum amount of information about a candidate in a short space of time. Virtually any positive trait is evidence that somebody will be a better candidate. Weak evidence, yes - but if you have two otherwise completely identical candidates (a silly hypothetical) it's not illogical to choose the one with better hair follicles (a silly outcome of a silly hypothetical).
I'm not sure that all the smearing and blur is historically accurate for vt220. I still have Wyse WY-150 (IIRC) on my desk and while it has somewhat poor contrast (which seems to be mainly caused by worn out contrast pot, I gotta fix that someday), it has exceptionally crisp display. I remember the same "crispness" feeling from various amber phosphor MDA monitors.
I don't know what country you're in, but if it's the US, my advice would be to just start a company, throw up a decent looking website and start pounding the pavement. Most of the freelance sites encourage commodified race to the bottom behavior on your labor. Also, 50-100 is too low if you're in the US. If she wants to hit parity with what she would make in the industry working a "real job", she needs to charge closer to 200. (Assuming a target wage of ~150k)

Don't charge hourly, charge weekly or daily (if a week is too large of a unit). It will save you a lot of headaches and free you/her from time tracking at an annoyingly granular level. It also discourages clients from micromanaging your billing (which they definitely will do when you essentially turn in time sheets.)

When she's selling, the goal is to anchor your estimated price to the value of the project (you have to understand the client's business well enough to do this.) The idea is to frame your cost as a fraction of the total value. The rest of the sale is demonstrating you're low risk and that you can deliver. Typically you do this through social proof, or through a small starter project that demonstrates ROI.

No, nothing is critical, nobody will die when I'm not there. But those meetings are basically the core of my job, so it would be really weird to not prioritize them, they are the main reason why I'm getting payed.

I also do accommodate if I need to work outside of normal working hours, if I work with India or the US if the customer needs me earlier or later.

I guess that is why I kind of expect others who provide services also sometimes to go the extra mile, and to be honest most of the time you can find someone who does it.

Lyft's 2012 Pitch
Zuckerberg says that there should be a "comprehensive privacy regulation in line with the EU's GDPR", yet the first thing Facebook did was to move 1.5 billion accounts out of their data centre in Ireland to avoid having to meet the GDPRs requirements. They are also appealing the belgian decision to restrict Facebook's collection of users' and non-users' personal data across the internet.

Zuckerberg is forever apologising and promising to do better, and this article is only the latest attempt to try to manage the repetitive poor news cycle that Facebook has generated over the last year.
I'm not sure this is a consequence of the phosphors. It looks to me like this is an effect of how quickly the electron gun turns on and off. I would expect the horizontal sweep rate to be unaffected by whether pixels are supposed to be on or off, so the blurring at the left edge is determined by how quickly the beam ramps up to full current when turned on, and the blurring at the right edge is determined by how quickly the beam current is switched off.

The slow decay of the phosphors is on an entirely different timescale: more on the order of the time taken to refresh the entire screen, rather than the time taken for the e-beam to sweep across a single pixel. The asymmetry in the phosphor's activation vs decay is vastly greater than the asymmetry in the electron gun's switching on and off.

Classic regulatory capture play. Create regulations so onerous that only a company with the resources of Facebook can operate under their restrictions. Lock in your dominant position. No small competitor can get a foot in the door.
This may be an unpopular opinion, but I disagree. Arrow functions are unnecessary syntactic sugar, and, like much of ES6, feel like the language adding opinionation.

Enterprise codebases I work on are locked to ES5 and scale to 100k+ lines. These codebases cannot afford to layer on every new JS "innovation" and hope to remain consistent across 7+ years (the average lifespan of an enterprise app) and multiple developers.

To assume that this is just because of developer laziness or inability to learn is to ignore the realities of apps built and deployed behind the firewalls of Fortune 500 companies.
I used VSCode for over a year and recently switched to Vim.

Ctrl+P inside of VSCode is way way way slower than fzf with Vim. Even Ctrl+P with VSCode on a small amount of files had some amount of lag on it but fzf and Vim is nearly instant with thousands of files. There's also a lot of great fzf related shortcuts with Vim too, like being able to search more than 1 file with ripgrep or searching through lines in a file, etc.. All of which are super fast operations. I can search through a 900,000+ word markdown file (over 100,000+ lines) in Vim instantly with fzf's line searching tool.
The Burst compiler is closed source. However, if you import the Burst package [1] into your Unity project, you can see most of the source using ILSpy [2].

In your project, see the directory: "Library/PackageCache/com.unity.burst@<package-version-here>/.Runtime". The DLLs you'll want to inspect are: "Burst.Backend.dll", "Burst.Compiler.IL.dll", "burst-llvm.dll", "Smash.dll" and possibly the "Cecil" DLLs.

One of the most interesting parts of this column is that it is published in the Washington Post. You can't ignore the fact that this was likely run past Jeff Bezos, and Zuckerberg knows that. In almost all other circumstances, opinion columns from Mark were published on his public Facebook profile (example: "Building Global Community" [1]). The context of releasing this on WaPo is important as it represents an explicit call-to-action to the broader "community" of big tech (not just facebook.com). On the other hand, it represents an implicit approval of that call-to-action for Jeff Bezos (and thus Amazon).

I'd love to hear about the behind-the-scenes politicking that led to this mode of public outreach.

There’s another way out of this problem, but you have to focus on making the code dead obvious and simplify the tools for working with it.

That work doesn’t just pay off in rampup time. True, people can figure things out quicker. It’s easier for early career developers to transition to senior positions. It’s less likely for someone to vastly overrun estimates for tricky new features when the code is well factored. But it’s also about scaling your company up.

When your company gets bigger, you will have more than one project. You need to be able to remove people from project A without killing it, and occasionally bring people back to project A at a later date.

These things have been a constant source of drama everywhere I’ve worked where there “wasn’t enough time” to follow my recommendations. The projects grind to a halt and eventually they lose so many of the old people they have to start over. But it’s the same management style so the process repeats.
Samsung are infuriating: the S9, after some update, is now running a sequence of two animations before finally showing the content of the app drawer. It would be bad enough if they were running concurrently (which would admittedly look somewhat slick), but no, you wait for one to finish, get your expectations up, but then there is the second animation just starting. I don't know wether it's stupidity or malice (timed to the release of the s10 to make the old model feel sufficiently slow?) and I've long come to refuse invoking Hanlon's Razor when it comes to Samsung.

Your problem is going to be that you not only need butter but also need a myriad other things and only a few of those can be self sufficient in a small local community. Yes, we shouldn't truck things from half a country away but that doesn't mean the energy consumption / CO2 footprint at the end of the day will be lower for a sprawl than a dense city.

Yes, cutting back to medieval times, wearing homespun, most amenties supplied by the local blacksmith and cobbler and some things supplied by traveling merchants , that'd obviously be more environmentally friendly. I doubt most people are ready to do that. And also -- Malthus would like to have a word with you. No way you can supply this many people with such technology.
