The further up the scale you go the more tenuous the link between hours worked and income becomes. Sure, if you are a part time worker paid by the hour or on minimum wage then increasing your hours will work.

For most people here I would expect adding an extra hour to their week will have little impact. They would be better tightening their spending if they want to improve their financial position.

IMO, if USDT actually turns out to be a scam, prices will go up for bitcoin. People will rush to buy back in since money sitting in USDT is money that is waiting for a good entry. If USDT becomes worthless everyone will buy back into actual cryptocurrencies.

It's incredibly selfish to restrict things like biotech (CRISPR for example) because these technologies can save lives, yet they may affect "National Security". A shame

I agree the press coverage has been terrible.
A small percentage of vehicles by sheer number perhaps, but not by miles travelled. An average truck is working 50 hr weeks, plus commute time for the driver etc. As opposed to your average car which runs twice a day for 30 mins.

I’d highly recommend Drew Neil’s Practical Vim[0] for much more like this; it’s broken down into easy chunks and gets into the _why_ as well as the _how_ of Vim’s techniques.

Modern Vim[1], mentioned elsewhere in the comments, covers more advanced Vim usage.

There is a much more efficient way to deal with point sources, if you have a clean energy source in their neighborhood: just shut them down and replace the energy they provide with the clean energy you would use to scrub the CO2 from the air.
We recently had this problem with nbdkit. Our server tries to be reasonably portable across several platforms, and needs non-cryptographically secure random numbers for various purposes including testing and error injection. I ended up replacing all calls to rand() with two of the xoshiro generators. These are actually faster than rand() with nicer properties.

http://xoshiro.di.unimi.it/

Edit: Having read the full article now, he seems to jump between requiring random numbers for monte carlo testing, and true entropy for cryptographic purposes. These requirements seem at odds with each other, so perhaps better to define the use case properly first.
Interesting point about client ownership of the project. I wonder what the project spec was for this project (if it was along the "seven perpendicular lines" theme) and how many times change requests were made or the project effectively scrapped and restarted. If Accenture was giving Hertz exactly what they were asking for but Hertz kept changing the ask then they could be looking at a counter-claim along the lines of defamation. This is getting interesting!

I tried deploying my DRF backend[1] + Nuxt.js[2] demo-app on Heroku[3] as one repo but it was a NIGHTMARE. Yes, it sucks to have to open both projects in my IDE in development, but it's nowhere near the difficulty I had with the mono-repo. Plus, I can find things much faster within each project when they are split.

The argumentation with the marginal mix sounds nice, but is wrong. You cannot assign a certain power source to a certain electrical device unless they are directly connected. Your lightbulb isn't running on 100% coal, just because you switch it on.

Yes, if there is a difference between the demand and the amount of reneweable energy produced, that has to come from carbon sources. So increasing the demand might increase that. On the other side, in Germany we are already at the point where we have excess energy production. Mostly because coal and nuclear plants cannot be throttled quickly. So quite often we have to take reneweable energy off the grid to keep it stable. Equally, we have negative electricity prices on the spot market. Here you would even have to calculate a negative CO2 content in the energy mix for electric cars which could absorbe that wasted reneweable energy.

In the end, electric cars are rather accellerating than slowing down the switch to more renweables in the mix and as said, the addition of reneweable sources far exceeds the addition of electric cars - at the moment even by orders of magnitude.
Thanks for the apology, but no worries, it isn't needed :-)

That's interesting. I read your comment as making out that it was _merely_ one person (Tridge) who had a problem with BitKeeper and BK didn't deserve the flak, but I read your later comment as making out that BK did deserve it.
>> If you buy a server and run a poorly architectured system on it you note that it does not perform and need to make changes.

The examples you provide are not equivalent. It’s more like “we have a poorly architected software, so we had to buy 200 dedicated servers, because we didn’t know/couldn’t make it work on 10 of them”.

On cloud you could simply update your software and then downscale. Of course you pay more for flexibility, but please stop with those strawmen.

How to Achieve Targets
Tokyo was a city of canals before the Allies firebombed the city. Apparently the canals boiled due to the incendiaries used, so there was no escape from the fire during that tragic phase of life in the city. 100,000 deaths in one night is a statistic that few people think about, the Nazi death camps worked at a glacial pace in comparison, the craziness of WW1 campaigns gains a new perspective too, the bombing of Tokyo, with the loss of those canals, was something else. Hard to imagine. So we don't talk about it.

Tokyo was built on an estuary so the canals came from the management of the water that was already there. The final evolution being the water being pushed completely underground is pretty predictable. Other cities have dealt a similar fate to their rivers, London being a prime example where only the Thames is really 'welcomed' as a river, everything else is kind of banished underground.
This is really neat, thanks for rundown. Its easy to get far too comfortable with ad-hoc sed commands when there's far better solutions out there.
The Developer Job Satisfaction Survey 2019
According to the BLS there were 324,600 electrical and electronics engineers in the US in 2016.

https://www.bls.gov/ooh/architecture-and-engineering/electri...

A bit of a decline but "decimated" is too strong a word for a decline from 385,000 to 324,600, and much of that is due to smartphones and tablets (and single-board computers like the Raspberry Pi) that reduced the need for custom electronics. For example: in the 90s I worked for a company that made a custom handheld device. Now that product is an app.
The exact wording is from a Wikipedia editor, but it's just a reformulation of the writings of John Bew in his book "Realpolitik: A History", which I recommend. Specifically, he's talking about the ideas of the 19th century German writer and politician Ludwig von Rochau, who originally coined the word "realpolitik".
The claim for under-investigation comes from the fact that in English law rape is a very serious offence, and carries a similar sentence structure as murder. There are 150,000 rapes per year (according to the annual crime survey, which probably under-counts rape) and there are only 5,000 prosecutions each year.

I wouldn't wish jail on anyone, incarceration is horrible by design. Assange made terribly selfish decisions and broke bail, irrespective of his status as a journalist (I have doubts on several grounds but I'd rather be charitable, and he undoubtedly has acted believing he is a journalist) a belief in the rule of law really demanded he be punished.

Those who would seek to justify his avoidance of punishment for bail breach typically claim a higher cause. You can certainly build a model of ends justify means facing his proto-journalism, amazing things have come from Wikileaks.

Personally I cannot go past his auto self destruction. The decision to repudiate his own sexual behaviour, deny it has cause to be questioned, to ask rich friends to stand bail and then loose it on his own cognizance of risk, his constant cult of personality if-you-are-not-for-me-you-are-against-me posture.. this is not worthy. This is base.

Sorry.. not sorry. Learn to work smarter, man up, and talk to the Swedes on their terms not your own.
How to Buy a Smartphone: The Definitive Guide (2019 Update)
That is a very good point. We have quite a few applications, where we will need fuel for quite some time to come, let us reserve all the "reneweable" fuels for those applications. Electric cars are a thing, electric airplanes are unfortunately only at their very beginning.
Several hyper-specialist shops I know in Munich:

- balloon shops seem to do really well because we have several here and every major city seems to have one

- foam shop for when you need to fix your upholstery

- venetian blind store which only sells the vertical kind

- Ketten Wild was a chain shop that only sold chains but chains in all forms and sizes

- la porcelaine blanche's slogan is "only china, only white" and that is what they do

- elk shop for everything elk related - not that we have any elks in Germany but elks are cute

- Schrauben Preisinger sells only screws. They claim they have 30000 different types in their store and this is absolutely credible. A few years ago I was there to get some M1 screws for a project when I witnessed an interesting exchange between another customer and a salesman. The customer had brought a screw with a quite wide thread. It was a straight screw, not tapered and not a wood screw, just with an obviously non-metric thread. He inquired if they had this type of screw in stock. The salesman answered slightly offended that this was a shop for machine screws and they would not sell furniture screws.

Also button shops are super useful. If you lose a button you go there with your piece of clothing and they will find a suitable replacement in no time. I never visited the one in Berlin but the one in Munich saved me good money.

EDIT: I just remembered two more:

- Gummi bear shops are a bit like balloon shops. I don't understand it but there seems to be enough demand to support several of them in a single city.

- Berlin's Ampelmann. Maybe doesn't quite fit into the category because it's more of a tourist curiosity. On the other hand: A shop that only sells stuff related to the graphic design of a symbol on the traffic lights of a defunct state is quite hyper-specialized I guess.
To be fair rape is difficult to prove. It often comes down to two people telling different things.

A judge is supposed to look at the evidence and if there isn't any there isn't much to be done. We don't prosecute people based on feelings and hunches or flipping a coin.
You'd be surprised how far the power of the NYAG goes... Crypto Capital LTD. is registered in Panama and legally they have no a rather poor political/diplomatic relationship but you never know what goes on behind the scenes.

I believe the NYAG wants Crypto Capital LTD, not bitfinex/tether per se.

Isn't Amazon trying something like that with their drone program?
Ouch. I mostly looked at what AI techniques are being proposed for blockage by export controls (most deep learning, etc.). Specifically this would, if enacted, make it difficult for foreign workers to collaborate on projects and shut the USA out of progress made elsewhere.

Pardon a non-technical comment but this goes exactly against where I want to see the world going: I believe in the value of countries maintaining their own culture and traditions while also cooperating with other countries on a global scale.

I think there is a lot of fear in our government over our losing dominance in things like 5G and consumer AI driven by vast amounts of data. I think these fears are valid but I would take a long view by making our educational system better starting in kindergarten, making it easy for very high skilled workers to get visas, etc. Also, we should look to what advantages we have in farming, water supply (yes, we love the Great Lakes), what we can offer the world culturally (yeah! Avengers End Game!), and relax our egos to not need to be ‘the best’ because in some ways we are not.

When family or friends ask me how I am doing, my usual response is ‘good enough’ and I wish as a nation we could realize how most of our lives are ‘good enough’ and also work hard to provide opportunities for people who don’t have it good enough.

Anyway, I look at the proposed export control list, and I see bureaucrats acting out of fear.
This is obvious to me (a monorepo advocate) but most people these days tend to organise their repos based on module/implementation lines rather than on product boundaries.

My motto is:
"What you release together, you should version-control together".

Depends on the price bracket, but this is generally an outdated view.
Coming from commie part of Europe I feel ya. I've recently saw documentary about Japanese family that makes same product for third generation, this would not be possible here as communists didn't allowed private business, people get separated from soil during collectivization and the link got broken.

Have you thought of 'joining' the competition?

We were somehow conditioned to believe that we either have to be the Founder or nothing.
We are not losers if we are employees and not employers.

We don't have to be the CEO to pursue an idea we are passionate about.

And if it is impact that you want; think that most often, the impact you can have joining an existing successful company will be waay bigger than reinventing the wheel and building your own.

I do respect the nobility of wanting to be your own boss and doing your own awesome thing but in general(not giving advice for this specific case), that's not the only way..
I've settled on a many-repos-in-same-parent-folder pattern, which means that I can open them all in the same editor window if I want to.

I've also forgone proper IDE "project" in favour of opening the directory in my editor on an ad-hoc basis from the command line (e.g. `cd frontend && subl .`). It's not perfect, but it avoids the issue of having too many windows, or having to fumble through IDE project switching dialogs.

Not significantly different to how it is today. Potentially much worse. It's solipsistic to think that more engineers and software developers would help with some of these social problems.

Sociology, economics and politics are difficult, valuable and all too often completely overlooked by people who have the luxury of being able to solve for x in their day job.
> The outcome of multiple repos should be modular libraries.

Yes; also they should all be treated as separate, independent products. Where multi-repos go wrong is when a whole product spans multiple repos, and a feature of the product depends on features being added or altered in multiple projects.

Ideally, the split should be so that nobody has to work across multiple repos to finish a feature.

The github / NPM ecosystem is IMO a good way to look at it; libraries that are all independent of one another who have a (usually pretty good) adherence to semver.
You can consider yourself as a good surrogate?
> Your view is fascinatingly self-centered and ruthless.

Perhaps but I haven't seen any of my middle class friends taking their children to school on a bike or by public transport. And when I point that it is possible it is always "Meh, it is more convinient in my car and I am above that".

If people with children do not care why should I?
> The only serious solution to climate change is carbon recapture.

To me it always comes back to the numbers: sifting 400 parts out of a million of anything is intrinsically a pain in the ass. There's no way this is ever going to scale.

I’m not sure why this one is getting downvoted. It’s not wrong. Technically bob would probably spend it somewhere and the recipient of bob’s spending would put it in the bank. But the outcome is pretty much the same. I just threw out some bits that didn’t affect the state much.

But for illustrative purposes it’s probably best to assume that the 90 cents is eventually put into the same bank, so people can follow why the bank is allowed to do this.
He actually mocked an early engineer who voiced the "this is evil" mantra in a meeting after he joined Google. If not right then, definitely in a TV interview a few years later.
To me, it still looks like a priority or some other kind of problem. Sorry :) Let's assume all of this as a "good intentioned mistake" and hope that Purism abolish this ASAP.
Show HN: Chrome Extension to add top news stories to Facebook Town Hall feature
I recently discovered the Facebook Town Hall feature and thought it was super useful to see what politicians and local government bodies represent my area. I got to thinking about how it might be improved and I settled on a service to see the top 5 news articles pertaining to each entry in the Town Hall directory. Since Facebook, to my knowledge, does not open the Town Hall functionality up to their API I built a Chrome extension that inserts the news articles beneath each entry. The code for the extension can be found here for anyone curious how it works https://github.com/Static-Flow/townhall-news-extension and the url for the extension in the Chrome store is here https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/facebook-town-hall...

Very few companies include bonus as a part of a software engineer's compensation (large SV companies are more or less alone in this). Bonuses are generally reserved for executives (excluding sales staff, of course) in most industries, including mine (defense).

Though, salary for software engineers has been ticking up lately. I suppose I can thank the demand for engineers created by these tech companies for that.

Advice on sentencing for failure to surrender to bail is here: https://www.sentencingcouncil.org.uk/offences/magistrates-co...

He's seen as culpability A and category 1. He has some factors that aggravate (rape and sexual offences are very serious crime and his hiding from justice meant his alledged victims were not able to see justice); and he doesn't have any mitigating factors.

The maximum sentence in crown court is one year. He got a bit less than that. He'll be out in 6 months if he's not an idiot.
