It depends on whether I have “enough” to comfortable meet my short term commitments, long term goals, and have nice to haves on the level that I desire.

To keep things short, let’s just say that my career stagnated until 10 years ago and I was basically at the salary level and skillset of a junior software engineer, my side hustles evaporated and I met my now wife and (step)children she was taking care of by herself.

I was living in a nice neighborhood with a horrible school system. She was living in a condo in the best school district in the state. We were worked together and we were both laid off. I was able to get a comparable job literally the next week, but she had to take a job either with crazy inconsistent hours or one paying less...

2012 - we were barely getting by when we moved to an apartment on the better side of town and we were both recovering and paying back money because of $life. I stayed at the company just long enough to finish modernizing my tech stack and I jumped ship for $25K two years later.

2014 - now between the $25K I was making and the extra $10K she was
making we had enough to comfortable live our lives, get a new car she desperately needed and get myself a new car so I could hand my old one down to my son who was now a senior to go back and forth to college with the next year - and car insurance for teenager.

We had enough to qualify for the house we wanted in the school district we wanted, but I knew it would be a stretch.

But by 2016, I knew I could call up my list of well curated recruiters and get a job making $25K more that would make buying a house much more comfortable. We started the process of getting a house built, as soon as we closed, I made a few calls and had a job making my target salary before the first mortgage payment was due.

Now, in 2019, things are different. The only job opportunities that I have in my local market that pay even 25K more that I am qualified for without going into management are consulting jobs. I just don’t want to do that now and I wouldn’t take the 25% raise that they have offered me.

Sure we could build our net worth faster, but it wouldn’t make any significant difference in our lifestyle.

Money was the major motivation for me leaving a job between 2008-2016, but now it would be based on whether I am working with technology that keeps me marketable and whether I like the environment.
I'm certain they'll get there in time, as part of the development process. Indonesia has grown its economy ten fold in 20 years, a mind-boggling rate of improvement. Just as with China, as they rise they'll have far greater resources available for many other considerations such as preservation of nature and general beautification (which is obviously often expensive, close to a luxury depending on what stage of development you're at). That switch from scarcity to plentifulness, rapidly changes a lot of things in a society usually.

Yes, it's been known for decades. Perhaps the new news is the latest sighting and that now it's accepted as fact.

It peaks in the warmer months.

Many Martian meteorites have been found on Earth, and it's likely that earth meteorites have made their way to Mars. We know that algae can survive in space and extreme conditions.

It would be unexpected if simple life from earth had not made its way to mars from time to time. It would be interesting if it continued to survive there. The methane and its seasonality is possible evidence of this.

Reasonable targets for future Mars missions are craters where methane is known to accumulate.
As an outsider, If I had to guess it would be lack of proper institutionalized waste management; one that’s not rigorously enforced.

In the West in the early 20th century we also had burning heaps of trash in abandoned or empty lots.
It's a discussion about opt-in telemetry (that I started). I pointed out VS Code as another example of an app that gets a lot of hate on HN for using opt-out telemetry.

Returning different query results bases on the IP of the query sender is not magic. Couple that with location bases routing to thw nearest instance of a DNS server responding at 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 and you have nice and reasonably reliable segmentation based on the user's location. Nothing about that tech is magic and most of it is likely already implemented. So your doomsday scenario does not hold.

Yes, few facts to support this claim: the french are big consumers of SciHub content (biggest in the EU [1]) and the CNRS (one of the main french national scientific organization) has boycotted traditional publishers on several occasions (e.g. Springer [2]). The CNRS also supports Hal which is the french equivalent of arXiv.

I think this has more to do with the copyright lobby than anything else.

It's on my todo list (in trello :) ... but haven't got to it yet.

I use a combination of Unison(-gtk) and Foldersync (android) to replicate some quite large data sets between desktop, server, a couple of laptops, and tablet & phone. Keybase and Synthing are definitely on the list of potential replacements for the manual, periodic sync.

How does Syncthing go insofar as replacing a note-taking system (tagging, collaboration, etc)?
Is there an OCR out there that is better than Evernote?

It is the one feature that impressed me (searchable hand written notes, etc.), but that was years ago.
Here’s the thing, you could say the same for many small or population dense countries, this is because Japan is population dense but most of the population still live in very concentrated areas, Osaka, Tokyo etc.

One begs to ask the question, Why do Americans need to live so sprawled out? I think the difference is not just one of geography, it’s cultural. It makes sense for Japanese to live in close quarters and there are benefits and negatives for doing so.

Look at France, Germany, Belgium, UK
Etc they’re allrelatively population dense countrirs with far more hopeless train networks.
I've played Rimworld since the Kickstarter beta. Back in the old days, it was possible to finish the space ship over the weekend. I guess the game has also crept much larger and added more filler.
Maybe I missed it but I don't see a discussion about how the majority of sites are actually showing a "pre-prompt" for notifications before triggering the actual prompt from the browser. This is similar to how apps ask you to rate them using some internal UI and only if you rating is the desired one (5 stars) send you to the app store so you can rate them there.

With the notifications a 3rd party script is used to display a Yes/No prompt for notifications and only when you click yes on that prompt it triggers the browser's yes/no prompt. This allows the site to show you the notification request on each session while if they used the browser's native prompt they could only show it once.
At the moment the "fake meat" is much more expensive. But the price will come down as economies of scale kick in.

Incidentally, as a meat eater I'd stop eating it tomorrow if this was the case (bring on the healthy and eco-friendly bacon, sausages and steak!).

Substitutes like Quorn mince in a chili are already more than acceptable to me.
They need to make this drug available before the 2020 presidential election.
This article is irritating in that it doesn't give a balanced and useful view of the transportation trade offs. Very likely the author is aware of them but chooses to sweep under the carpet what doesn't suit his narrative.

A few observations to balance things out. First, rail is not the cheapest way to move freight, ships are by far, but rail is a distant second.

Rail obviously requires a lot of upkeep on the tracks, in addition to fuel and maintenance, whereas ships and planes have very little cost to maintain the fluids they travel in.

Electric transport on highways will quickly become very much cheaper than it is now because electric motors are much more efficient than fuel motors, solar and wind electricity costs are dropping precipitously, maintenance of electric motors is much less than fuel motors. Yes the roads still have to be maintained and heavier trucks mean much more maintenance.

Clearly, optimal transportation and shipping requires a hierarchy of trade offs that depend primarily upon scale. Two large cities that are 200 miles apart (eg New York and Boston) can support the overhead of a passenger rail connection. On the other hand San Francisco and New York, while large are too far apart, while another pair of cities might be 200 miles apart but the city populations are too small to support the rain infrastructure.

At the other end of the scale, an individual might take their bicycle on a 2 mile trip to the post office but would take their car on a 2 mile trip for the week's groceries.

Between these two extremes is a hierarchy of trade offs and there is no "one size fits all". Not even close. Rail is not the solution to all our transport problems. Neither are cars or bicycles. Each has its niche. If ships had legs then they might come close but unfortunately they don't, not to mention they are kind of slow.

So it's complicated but some trends might be usefully be predicted. Short haul flights will likely become cheaper as these planes become electrified and both energy and maintenance costs drop significantly. Trucking will become electrified and will compete even more effectively against trains and planes unless there is a labor shortage. Trains will continue to do what they are good at, long haul of heavy commodities and passenger service on intense routes. Electric cars will have lower fuel and maintenance costs so automobile miles will increase.

Perhaps the sum total of all this will mean that medium and smaller sized cities will become more competitive vis a vis their larger cousins over the next 50 years.
It’s a headache and disruption to change jobs. You have to learn a new code base and you don’t have the reputation or the relationships to make things easier.
Trains might be more efficient in terms of energy, but sadly they are much more expensive (here in germany), than going by car. (except for some special fares)

And the car goes anywhere, anytime and the train does not. So no wonder, also here, for most people the car is the choice number one.

agree that this is a sleazy business practice, but (and not mentioned here, also, not a laywyer but), in music for example, there are typically 'artistic' rights and 'mechanical' rights - e.g. BMG can have the right to duplicate the recording of your song but not to record someone else performing it, or vice-versa where they cannot reproduce your recording but can record others performing it.

There are also nebulous cases involving sampling - some decided in favor of the one sampling, the others decided in favor of those who were sampled, depending on the particulars of the case / district / judge, etc.

I would suspect that getty is taking the public domain image, tweaking the file slightly (perhaps even in non-image related metadata), and thus creating a 'new work' to which they can make some sort of claim about.

so, while i think you are correct in that the 'visual image' (e.g. the visual object representation) is entirely in the public domain, the 'image' (e.g. the actual file) that they actually distribute is not, because they have modified it somehow and 'added value', etc etc etc. then, enforcement just becomes a fishing expedition. if you did your homework and used the public domain one and can refer to it, they don't press. if you didn't, and don't catch it, they have a reasonable claim/plausible deniability of mis-attribution, and you pay. easy (but unethical) money to them.

shady, dubious, etc, but probably not out-and-out fraud in the 'illegal' sense. still not good otherwise because it does facillitate them gaining market share (by having a bigger product base / collection) which in turn creates a cyclical effect/ barriers to entry/ etc (just like BMI/ASCAP and music, for example)

I'd much rather be in the position of having too much demand for a badly build piece of software then an awesome team, VC funds and a beautiful Elixir architecture with no demand.

Reminds me of this post [1] that hit the top pages yesterday. It's actually the anti-example for my argument, but the way software runs in the real world. Apparently it's commercially more interesting to run cr*p, even if that gives rise to a significant probability of costing you $172k a second.

I think the first sell is special, the idea just leads you there.

Coding 2.0: Why bother testing your code?
You most likely only start to care about your surroundings when you exceed a certain income treshold. Below that, you’re just too occupied with bare survival.
A couple of things.

1. A lot of existing big cities post-WWII did, in fact, grow commuter rail out to the expanding suburbs. If you live in the suburbs (say Westchester County in NY) and work at a bank in Manhattan, there is pretty good rail service.

2. But, a lot of the suburban expansion also included companies locating out in the suburbs. For a variety of reasons (including "white flight") a lot of cities became unpopular places for professionals to live so it made sense to locate companies where the people were. NYC almost went bankrupt. Boston was losing population into the 90s. So, for a significant period of time, you had a lot of people dispersed around suburbs (and still do) and that's hard to accommodate with transit.

In Boston, for example, there was not a single major tech employer in the city by the mid 90s or so--when Teradyne moved out--all the "Route 128" companies and others were in the suburbs/exurbs. (I would bet that, at least leaving out biotech/pharma, most tech employment in the Boston area is still in the suburbs--as indeed it is in the Bay Area.)
The figures given in on the site are taken from actual usage and so include the fact that buses tend to stop and go more than trains, are less likely to be full, etc. That's a useful view but it's good to look at the physics based maximum efficiency when full view too. I really, really recommend Sustainable Energy Without the Hot Air[1] for getting a good sense of the numbers right now the chart on vehicle efficiencies[2]

This is no longer the case, but I believe it is still quite conservative.

I want the optionality to retire, but I really don’t care about full not working retirement. I’m perfectly okay with working part of the year doing contracts/consulting until my health declines so much I couldn’t do it. My wife has guaranteed health coverage for the rest of our lives through her government job after 10 years.
Hydro's great, but without a low-end storage for the water, it's a one-way journey, which is an unfortunate exposure.

There's also some unsettling calculations around methane generation from flooded flora.

Still, long-term undeniably better than fossil or nuclear fission.
true! any other blog designs you've got that you like? For some reason I pile them up in bookmarks and have developed a hobby around that
OneSignal does have that option, which I find supremely annoying. They should just take that out and always require you to click on the bell before triggering the notification.

Hopefully, with this browser change, they will.
That is also true for patent trolls, but that doesn't stop them.

In the case of youtube the problem is that the strike is done by an automated system, and getting it fixed is a really frustrating experience because you can't talk to a human.

For those who rely on youtube for their income, these copyright strikes are a major concern and source of anxiety.
keep it on the dl, dude...
Which would be a good thing? Fast / processed food is pretty much the main market for low welfare factory farmed meat.
Calling it a gift to the trucking industry implies there wasn't originally a strategic motivation to getting it done and that individuals don't also greatly benefit. Trucking is a business with razor thin margins so that "gift" very much gets spread around. Sure cars are bad for the environment but pretending that the interstate system doesn't greatly benefit basically everyone in the country is foolhardy.
You mean the hump in the red detectors of the human eye? I had no idea about this!
Except that’s not the case here. The RTX units are attached to the CUDA cores and are physically larger than the 10-series CUDA cores. Graphics is trivially parallelizable for the most part and the number of transistors available mostly linearly impacts rendering performance.

This is a physical reality, the new chip is bigger and it ray traces an ancient game at less than 60fps 1080p with significant noise and aliasing artifacts despite having specialized hardware.

I’m not sure why I’m expected to engage in a Gish Gallop of NVidia marketing buzzwords when the facts are clear. It’s bullshit, plain and simple. Neither you nor the grandparent are giving actual facts.
Care to explain? :) What kind of business did you have? Did it work out? And what's the problem in doing it again?
This is very vague about where the endpoints will be.

Will Cloudflare push all of the users in a given country to an exit point in their country? Can they realistically do that? Will it guarantee that, or will it vary with load? Will they detect VPNs coming into the service, or will it be a good way of laundering the VPN? Will it do anything at all as an anti censorship service?

Tl:dr, I'd expect an awful lot of sites that currently block VPNs entirely (and that practice is increasing) to keep doing it here.
Does anyone know what colourblindness really is? My guess would be that it's one (or more) of the cones either not working properly, or working differently, creating a very different colour experience.

For example, looking at the graph in the article, I'd expect that if your green cones don't work, you'd see no real difference between green and red. If your blue cones don't work, blue would look slightly red. If red cones don't work, again red and green are roughly the same, but violet would look blue.

But that's entirely my uneducated guess as a complete layman on the subject.

As for the purple and violet in the picture, that violet can never be true violet because it mixed by your computer screen from RGB colours, so it's really created by mixing more blue with red, and probably a bit more green, since it's a lighter colour (adding more of the least represented colour moves it closer to white I think).

So if that looks more red to you than the equally mixed purple, the only explanation I can think of is that it might come from the added green, which your eyes might register as potentially red if it's your red cones that don't work properly.

But again, pure guesswork on my part.
There isn’t any explicit notion of collaboration, and tagging can be accomplished by way of a folder structure. I haven’t tried symlinks, which is how you’d make multiple tags work on a regular file system.

Syncthing’s purpose is to ensure that a specific directory remain synchronized across multiple computers and/or mobile devices. It accomplishes this goal with the minimum of fuss, and (in my experience) works better than Dropbox in that it burns fewer CPU cycles and doesn’t crash/hang/nag me to upgrade.
Yes. It does. It is an adaptogenic. It lowers if you have high thyroid, and raises if you have low.
Pumped storage is just hydro, with the ability to replenish the reservoir artificially. If you have sufficient natural flow there's no need to pump anything into it.

The idea of pumped storage being for reserved for peak demand comes from the typically limited size of artificial reservoirs making it such that it can only be used for peak demand.
Wilson was a notorious racist, that’s hardly an opinion. As I said he segregated the federal government, praised “Birth of a nation” etc.

And we often use “nation” and “country” indistinguishably (especially Americans) but the point of “national sovereignty” was that each “nation” or “race” (in his time it was common to say “Italian race” or “Irish race”) should have self-government regardless of whether they had been living happily together or not.

Not that he felt the US should be slit up or anything — having the “white man” (as they phrased it then) run everything was important to him.
Yep, rail road is hard to scale down, so it's very expensive to connect every single home to rail road.

Also, rail roads are not walkable, so they cannot be shared with pedestrians, so this limitation forces create two separate roads: one for pedestrians, bicycles, cars, etc., and second one for rail transport. Trams can be mixed with regular road traffic, but trams cannot use regular rail roads because of different construction of rail road.

Also, rail roads are prone to Single Point of Failure problems. To prevent SPF, multiple redundant routes must be built, with lot of expensive junctions between them.

Also, you must schedule your travel.

So, we need something which 1) can be shared with regular road traffic like trams, 2) can deliver loads of cargo efficiently like rail or metro, 3) can be connected to every house like regular road, 4) can be navigated by any car at any time of day or night, 5) be cheaper than regular road for road, cart, maintenance, recycling, 6) can provide power to carts, 7) can provide navigation and scheduling service to carts, 8) be with low delay (fast).

Regular road is 1,3,4,±8. Uber is 1,3,4,5,7,8. Aero-taxi is 1,3,4,±5,7,8. Trams is 1,2,6,7. Metro is 2,6,7. Rail is 2,5,6,7.

Edit:
Tram-train is 1,2,5,6,7.
