Yeah, in Sweden it's trivial to do your taxes: you log into a website online, you check that the salary number seems accurate, and if you have no amendments, you just click "OK" (more or less). You sign it with something called BankID, which is an internet-identity thing you can get from your bank. I think it took me all of 7 minutes last year.
So why don't the packages set up as a production company like say Tiger Aspect in the UK - Or Back in the day as United Artists did in Hollywood

> There's no way to know which exceptions can be thrown from a function just by looking at its code, nor looking at the called-functions code.

It's good you don't actually need to know that! And if you did, it wouldn't matter anyway because somebody could come along in the future and change that code that currently uses a database and change it a web service and all that knowledge would be wasted.

All you need to know is what exceptions you can handle and where you handle them. What error codes or exceptions each individual function everywhere up the call chain can raise is almost inconsequential.
I feel like our minds take at least 12 weeks off a year anyways, why not let our bodies leave the office as well?

Perhaps it's because we watch their actions and know that their drive for simplification is around stripping away tax code that aims to reduce inequality and around cutting taxes for the wealthiest while shifting the responsibility to those who have less to give. While a simpler tax code is an excellent goal, I don't believe for a second that they have any nobility in proposing it.
You can say a lot of things about US tax system. But working class people usually pay single digit tax rates, much lower than most countries.
I think this applies for long distance runners, but sprinters are usually built.

Yeah, you can believe the MSRP for Tesla but for other cars you need to see what the local dealers are offering. (And even then, it’s approximate.)

The low end gets very basic, but some people just want cheap transportation and don’t care about features.
And velocity should be an internal team measurement not shared with outsiders because (Goodhart's Law) when management says "Let's increase our velocity" and the team and developers are GRADED/PROMOTED on their velocity then you'll get point/estimate inflation which will hurt you more in the long run since the inflated estimates actually now allow for the work to fill the time (Parkinson's law).
In a fair society, it would become more and more challenging to move up the economic ladder as you reach higher levels.

In our society, life gets easier as you move up. Beyond a certain threshold, you can set up a self-maintaining rent seeking empire and stop working entirely, while your wealth accumulation continues to accelerate.

I would say that political whims have nothing to do with shutting down subs like fatpeoplehate, jailbait and incels. Places that routinely advocate, or have been directly tied to violence tend to get shut down. See the pizzagate debacle. Same with all the qanon stuff.
Yes, this is more along the lines of what I'm talking about. I'm advocating common sense over religious adherence. Do what works for you.

I am saying there's a lot of burnout in the tech industry and it's at least partly a process problem.

Maybe it's just me and I'm "doing it wrong", but I think it speaks to the issue that the suggestion of "taking it easy a week out of every month" is met with cries of "This is madness! It will never work!"

If you believe in the gospel of meritocracy, "hard work = success", then you'd have to believe the reverse ("poor people are poor because they're lazy."). But this ignores the luck factor (that a lot of people are poor because of bad luck, and that a lot of people are so god damn rich because of good luck). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTDGdKaMDhQ
That would be fantastic, but I also don't particularly like the government having a list of where everyone works.
Linux: Introduction to Network Filters
I'll say this as one who has traded a fair amount of TSLA, starting shortly after IPO. I've done well enough with it to have purchased several of their cars (we do not own one, however). I also sold most of what we had a few months back via call options, save 50 shares.

With my resume out of the way: if you have to ask on Hacker News whether or not to buy TSLA, then don't. A lot of what drives that price up or down is drama, not financials or technical charting. If you like to buy your stocks based on what the Kardashians are up to this week, maybe pick up 100 shares. But seriously, just stay the hell away. You want to roll dice right now, go buy BA.
What we do where i'm at is the perfect amount of "agile" for me. Granted we're a small team, but it's worked VERY well for 3 years now.

What we do:

- Standup twice a week, never lasts more than 15 min

- 1 hour "planning" meeting each sprint where we discuss new stories for the upcoming sprint and assign them points

- 2 x 2-week sprints (1 release a month containing work from both sprints), this gives us flexibility for unexpected problems if we have to cut stuff out of the release or add features missed during planning

- We do not track hours

- We track velocity by points, but it's only a guide for the next sprint and not taken as do or die

- Developers freely choose what they want to work on, but they must go down by priority on the sprint's items

- When a dev is finished with their story, they pickup the next item in the sprint

- If all sprint items are taken/done, we grab from the next sprint assignments. If those are all done, we have another planning meeting or work on tech debt in the backlog

So if you have a potential call chain of dozens of methods, your error return includes every single possibility? That's pretty doubtful. What happens is the same thing that happens with checked exceptions; the errors are massaged or placed untyped in properties and while you're handling all the errors you're doing it in a sloppier way.

If you live in the US and you think your taxes are bad, you haven't seen anything yet. The IRS starts to really make your life miserable once you move out of the country and live as an expat. The reporting requirements (FBAR and FATCA) border on ridiculous. As an example you need to report all your financial accounts, interest on them with no minimums, you have to know the maximum amount in each account over the course of a year, and BTW, if you are a shareholder in a non-public company, that company's statement goes into your tax filing, too. Preparing your tax return becomes a major project that you do once a year, and you really have to pay a specialized company to do it for you, because there are so many pitfalls.

The part that I found most surprising is that in the US there is basically no way for an individual to read the law and follow it. The law is way too complex and murky. As a contrast to that, in most countries that adopted German law principles, it is perfectly normal for a person to go read the law if in doubt.

Good lord, that place is unbelievably dystopian. If it wasn't real, I would have called it a bad Orwellian fiction.

Dozens of security cameras everywhere, inside shops, streets, and even the mosque. Mandatory government id, tied to a facial recognition regime. No shortage of well armed police, and plenty of fear.

From another article:
" 120,000 Uighurs are being held in Chinese political reeducation camps in Kashgar prefecture alone, according to Radio Free Asia (RFA). Guards force detainees to sing patriotic songs, bombard them with propaganda, and require them to study “Xi Jinping Thought.” Beijing does not publicly acknowledge the existence of these camps, yet Uighur activists estimate 1 million Uighurs have been detained since April 2017. "

Given this climate, I find it hard to believe that this is the only activities going on behind the camp doors.

If there was ever something the US should condemn China for, it's this.

One thing that hasn't been mentioned in this conversation is a musical journey. That is a talent in itself. A surprisingly difficult on in fact - which even many top DJs don't do well. But it's a very different style of DJing to the stuff DMC turntablists would be adept at.

LuaJIT also does a lot less work for a given piece of code than LLVM. It generates relatively well optimized code for a dynamic language, but it doesn't do much of the low level optimizations that LLVM and GCC do.

Hahaha, I empathise very much with the YFYP guys. I don't think it's a fallacy though. It truly is the case that the blame lies with those who subscribe to fallacious thinking.
if the prices are set in advance, it hamstrings the effectiveness of the fee though. you would prevent it from working during the usage spikes where it is most needed. I think a fair solution would be to lock in the price when you get in your car. this way you can make an informed decision about whether to travel at that time, but also allow the pricing to be as responsive as possible.
Wouldn’t the same issue apply to email addresses or domain names? At some point there needs to be a unique identifier or ID to locate the right destination.

How else could this be accomplished, especially when we are talking about URL structures that need to be somewhat short in length?
Really? I would expect China to not have much interest in you individually, whereas the US might.

> "Not surprisingly," Welch says, "sometimes that creates problems like causing someone's lung to collapse."

These outcomes should inform whether or not the biopsy needs to take place or whether they should instead follow up with further screens to monitor whether the cancer progresses. Of course, the major downside of my suggestion is that patients are extremely reluctant to hear "cancer" without a plan to rapidly classify it as malignant or benign.

US car sales have been down for the first three months of the year [1], not to mention that Ford has got out of the car-market almost all-together in the States and I suspect GM is going to do the same pretty soon, too.

I'm not really disagreeing with you about discord and google docs being popular but something strikes me about it.

(1) because they're both centrally controlled, which leads to some of the same problems
(2) google docs for chat is pretty ad hoc, which is fine at some level, but points to something (secrecy? ban-proof-ness? teenagers co-opting something where there might be a better solution, like irc or riot or various group chats?)
(3) I don't think google docs or discord are quite the same as twitter etc. in the sense that they serve a different function (group chat)... maybe discord has some similarities but it seems to serve a different function.

which leads me to:

How much is this discussion about centralization versus public versus private-facing communication?

I've always felt that centralization (as opposed to federation or decentralization) is a bad thing (or at least, less desirable, network math be damned), and think that some old-school things are underrated (e.g., IRC). At the same time, there's been a common thread for years of people wanting to communicate over the internet without the technical hassle. webpage without learning networking and programming -> MySpace/Facebook... rss without learning networking and programming -> twitter... forums without learning forum software and dealing with name registries etc. -> reddit ...

I've toyed around with mastodon and have been struck by how much it has the feel of a lot of the old web, but it seems like it needs more critical mass to take off like something like email.
Feasible as in "can be reasonably added to the language", not as in "can be mimicked with current language features".
> Really? A service failure or network failure is an exceptional case for you? This should be planned for, and built into the architecture! Plan for the network always failing! Recover gracefully!

Exception do let you plan for exactly that while ignoring the ridiculous notion that you can know every possible error that every function can trigger now or in the future.

Instead you plan for exactly where you can restart a network operation in the code and put your exception handler in that spot. You don't need to do anything else. It's simple and effective.

The alternative is to write a lot of boilerplate code that does nothing but get you to that same point.
I'm the exact same way, that's why I built this :)
If you look at sprinters compared to swimmers, I would say the sprinters are much more built. If you compare marathon runners to swimmers, it is the swimmer that is more built.

This brings up the interesting topic of anaerobic vs. aerobic exercise which running can be either. Typically one would think of anaerobic exercise as lifting weight or strength training, but sprinting is also anaerobic, meaning you are building muscles.

When you run at a slower pace you are conditioning your lungs and not your muscles as much. This is aerobic exercise, and why marathon runners are so skinny because they are more focus on lung capacity than muscle building.

When you sprint your muscles are actually being broken down and then when you stop they get rebuilt as stronger and larger muscles. This is the reason no one can sprint a marathon.

What is curious to me is that elite marathon runners "jog" at what I would consider being a sprint for myself. So, I wonder if sprinting would be an anaerobic or aerobic exercise for myself?
>low labor costs for cab drivers

It's not just cab drivers in particular. Having a driver is quite common for even middle class people or a sales person making the rounds during the day.

I personally believe that self-driving in congested cities is a long way off. But it will absolutely be the case that if driving around empty is cheaper than parking that's what will happen.

I find it difficult to write an intro like that and then see this happen again.
Congestion is not a big deal to drivers willing to spend their time in traffic.

It is a big deal to people waiting on services like fire trucks and ambulances. It is a big deal to people breathing air near roads. It is a big deal to public transit users whose needs often get de prioritized in favor of private cars.
ZTE is super popular amount the more "budget" carriers like boost, cricket, metro, etc. Not to mention their parent companies like Tmobile and Sprint which I'd still consider semi-budget carriers.

I don’t think it will fall on them, nor should it, they probably had no idea this was going to happen.

It’s Instagram’s responsibility either way. They could have said “pick another name or we can nicely ask the current owner for that one.”
That makes me wonder if there could be a model of some sort of "People's Lobby" where one could set up a fund that individuals could contribute to in order to lobby for/against something.

Probably more complicated than that and corporations would respond in kind. But it does seem like giving citizens the ability to compete in the lobbying space only makes sense.
