I have tinkered with a human readable, mathematically minimal, strongly typed language for writing laws/governments/constitutions.

I am highly confident it will work--the code and tech are there I'm just waiting for a strong project leader with good domain knowledge to lead it.

Shoot me an email if interested.
There are people who want to improve government with technology, just because it's an uphill battle doesn't mean it isn't worth doing.

Also, governments are big spenders. Plenty of incentive there.
There would probably have been more WSJ submissions if it weren't for the paywall. NYT's paywall at least offers a few free articles each month.

The other reason NYT links appear often is because there just aren't that many outlets doing journalism (and followup articles) on areas that are of interest to HN's audience.

It requires a full web browser to run (built on electron, complete with google analytics!), so I guess including a ton of unneeded/spyware crap makes things 'modern' now.
I've always personally believed in the show-by-doing approach here. If you want to negotiate a raise, find a way to provide more value to your company, get feedback from your boss that it would be valuable. Then come review time, demonstrate that you've been contributing beyond your current role in this capacity.

Most engineers are getting messaged by recruiters regularly. This is not a surprise to your boss if he has good engineers on the team. But I don't think that leveraging this in itself is an effective technique for negotiating a raise. In my opinion, being recruited doesn't affect the value you create in your current role unless you believe that your comp is below market, or you have grown significantly beyond the role you're officially in now. Just my 2¢.
IMO Citus is the RHEL of Postgres -- so one would have to wait until Citus bases on PG12 I guess. Running a HA DB is so hard so Citus making it a bit easier is super nice

Thanks! Wasn't sure if any of these solutions were easily achieved on all of these ARM devices. Would love to hear any experience on performance, although when you are on a Pi Zero, that doesn't seem too important. At least I can move my PiHole from docker to a fun little device that can display stats on an OLED screen!

That is true, to some extent, but the cost of commercial software makes my company think really hard before we go that route. It has to have a clear and obvious value, or we are reluctant to seriously consider it.

I'm not talking about the dollars, that's relatively minor. It's all the things around it, especially with licenses becoming more complex, including core counts, including all these weird provisions related to when and how and what features can be used in dev and staging and production, what versions of other software they can work with, etc...

The software that we can buy and just use without thinking about it is great, but it's really few and far between these days.

We can spend weeks or months analyzing the things surrounding the commercial licensing for a product, and that is spending one of our most valuable resources: attention.

This is true. I have an 80mm f2.8 from a 6x9cm camera that I mounted onto a recessed 4x5 lens board. Wide open the depth of field is so insanely shallow that it's tough to focus even under a dark cloth.
Even the editorialized title doesn't sound all that negative. Editorial teams reading public forums to see how their articles are being interpreted and discussed sounds pretty normal.
In the article I read, the suspect exited the carriage and went down an employees only tunnel. Those sorts of tunnels seem like a place it's OK to put CCTV, since the general public doesn't even use them.
Over retirement-level timescales that shouldn't matter either. Either rich people spend their money on luxury goods & services, in which case it gets returned to the economy through the laborers who provide those goods. Or they bid up the prices of assets to the point where nobody outside of a small clique of people can afford them, start trading amongst themselves, and eventually get a financial crisis that destroys all that "wealth" when there are no more buyers.

I would strongly bet on the latter, as that is how every other major period of rising inequality has ended (along with a war). Prices are just an information-carrying vehicle that reflects what people are willing to pay. No buyers = no price.

Delta-v is not change in speed here:

Delta-v, as used in spacecraft flight dynamics is a measure of the impulse that is needed to perform a maneuver such as launch from, or landing on a planet or moon, or in-space orbital maneuver. It is a scalar that has the units of speed. >>As used in this context, it is not the same as the physical change in velocity of the vehicle<<.[1]

Considering they said 'managed services' you can guess that they use Cloud Functions, App Engine or something like that. With Google Cloud Run you could easily do what they wanted, but then you have to have the Docker tooling.

Of course if they were using GCE, GKE, or any other way to deploy compute they'd be fine. In this case, because they're using GAE, they have limited language support without doing lots of (to them) complex stuff.

It's the right decision to port here.

I'm not sure I understand the argument you are trying to make here. I agree that having new OS opportunities is a great thing, but removing competition from the US market means there's less incentive for companies still in the US market to create alternative operating systems.

I don't really give a shit what they decide to do, and I realize that is a "Fuck you, got mine" kind of attitude. But the simple truth is that I can't afford to rely on the government or society to provide for my well-being; that's my own business, and it'd be irresponsible not to take care of it as best I can myself. I view it as an unacceptable risk to bet that Social Security will be managed well enough that there will be anything left when and if it ever comes my turn to get back some of what I've had to put in it.

If they want to tax me to pay for Social Security, then they will, and I don't really have much recourse. It does as much good to shake my fist at the weather as fuss about other things I can't control.
I'm surprised something LIKE that doesn't exist, but I'm thinking more of f/1.2 equivalent glass.
That's actually exactly my point. Dependabot did Github security alerts so much better than Github did, that Github gave up on trying to compete entirely.

Which is to say that it's incontrovertibly possible to beat Github at their own game and on their own platform. To the point where even Github agrees they've been beat.

Of course you can. Sheesh. Take responsibility for yourself.
There are a lot of the grassroots Republicans who care and are frustrated by the behavior of their leaders. As you get to state and local levels Republicans tend to be more responsible to the ideals as well. With a couple notable exceptions Republicans at the federal level are as described: lower taxes and spend spend spend.

The majority of voters don't care: they want low taxes and high spending on their pork project and they don't really care about the consequences.

The problem is that raw citation counts are used for promotion and hiring. And they look the same for 'did groundbreaking work' as for 'actually so flawed that everyone cites it just to make fun of it and as a cautionary lesson to everyone else to not be so incompetent'. Some authors explicitly take a mercenary attitude and don't care about sloppiness - after all, if someone criticizes them, that just means their citation count goes up...

What I would like is a rent-on-demand method.

Have you tried Youtube? They have a pretty extensive catalog of rent-on-demand movies, and I rarely find a mainstream movie that I want to watch, that isn't in their catalog. Most of them range between $2.99 / $5.99 or so, with really recent releases going higher, and the rare oddball title that's $14.99 or something (presumably because that's what the rights-holder demanded?)

Sorry I just don't buy into the spotify/applemusic/etc life. I adore music, but my first step is usually supporting the artist directly via bandcamp when possible. Luckily a huge amount of artists I follow have bandcamp pages. It's not as direct as going to a show and buying merch/albums there, but I don't get a lot of shows near me for the genre's I prefer.

The image is soft, probably out of focus. Large megapixel sensors tend to accentuate small focus errors, which is one of their downsides (another are the huge raw file sizes). With 100MP, you have to make extra sure your focus is spot on, and perhaps use a tripod.

There are a few videos out there claiming that the decline in use of Bamboo in construction/'woodworking' in Japan was not only about availability of other materials like steel and later plastic.

There was/were some species of bamboo used by craftsman that bloomed and then failed to reproduce due to weather changes. You've been working with a species of bamboo for five generations and it's just completely gone in under a year.

The weakest part of social security is that it's thought of as a pension and not as a service that government provides to the elderly and disabled. If government wished, it could be funded fully, regardless of whether it's "solvent."

It's not question of financial viability as much as it is a question of how much value we, or The US, puts on the lives of the elderly. Or otherwise framed as: How little we can spend on the elderly without the reemergence of poorhouses.

There are obvious concerns about having a healthy and productive tax base, but that will always be the case. Implicating the tax base for the existence of a government service is just politics.
"me", I mean "another github user", I mean "anyone on the internet who wants to create a github account & start cashing in."

This feature really makes no sense, either they figure the fraud will be low enough to not matter, or there's some oversight mechanism to prevent it. I am certain they don't want to try to sue ten thousand random people to attempt to claw back $5k each. I imagine there's some flag/approval process.
Why the focus on only profit making for-profit companies when the bulk of what you mentioned is currently being serviced by non-profits?
I have a Fuji XT20 with the 18-55 kit lens. I also own a number of Sony and Canon cameras.

If I rate the Canon 70-200 F2.8 at A+, and the Canon 50mm 1.8 an A, then I rate the Fuji 18-55 kit lens at perhaps an A-. And its rather cheap for a zoom lens if I remember correctly.
Ironically there are not only one, but two, Disneylands in Tokyo, and they seem to be popular among locals. There also seem to be more McDonald’s per capita in Japan than Europe. And don’t get me started on faux-European food in Japan (they do taste nice, though.)

So no, Japan, which is very well integrated into the global economy, is not that different from the west in terms of cultural consumption. People who still treat Japan as the mysterious land of samurais (ninjas seem outdated) and kabukis, unadulterated by western influence will, on their visit to Japan, struggle in the same way Japanese tourists struggled in Paris.

Going the independent route as a musician doesn't necessarily mean they'll successfully monetize their music. While more artists are doing this, there's still a lot of the old "looking to get signed" mentality. I agree with your post, but I wanted to point out that someone not taking the more independent routes doesn't necessarily mean they aren't interested in monetizing their work.
That's how Microsoft plans to monetize GitHub? Not bad....
> Opinions on climate change are irrelevant to my proposal

How would such a proposal be enacted to begin with?

My comment was that for a proposal like that to be passed initially, it would almost certainly need the support of a politician's respective constituents. Anything else would be political suicide and have slim-to-no chance of even getting debated. Blame it on lobbying, or career politicians, or whatever else but that's the reality in the U.S.

There's lots of ways that carbon reduction system could work. If it's largely a man-made problem there's probably many man-made solutions. But, outside of dictatorial solutions, you have to start with the democratic political will to see it changed.
I have none of the above and would be interested nevertheless!
I have to confess, this effort makes me very, very nervous.

I already think that business has replaced too much of what government should be doing, and has too much influence over what it hasn't replaced. Also, given the activities coming from the tech industry over the last decade or more, I'm even more nervous that this is aimed in that direction.

Increasing the amount of that doesn't seem wise to me.
Disclaimer: I do not know who this man is, or anything about what he represents. I merely find it amusing that if "Trolls" (people, who for whatever reason, speak untruth online) exist, than so must "Elves" (people who are the reverse, and speak truth)...

Now, up until today, when I stumbled upon this video, I had never heard the term "Elves" used in this context -- thus I am submitting this link.

This whole thing (not the video, but the concept), "Elves vs. Trolls" -- has a Tolkienesque, Lord Of The Rings, "Good Vs. Evil", "Us Vs. Them", Star Wars, Epic Film, battle for the entirety of Middle-Earth feel to it... well, in my opinion... but I'm sort of an armchair, amateur aspiring screenwriter (in addition to being a programmer) so take everything I say with the proverbial "grain of salt" <g>...

Well, I think it is clear from the title alone that it is not making that argument.
When op used the word “understanding”, I interpreted it as some program that can provide code snippets, skeletons, or whatever abstraction in some contextual way so it’s not just a dumb table lookup.

You’re post is unnecessarily pessimistic and generally bad faith.

> If you look at the fine details, everything is soft. Not one single line in the whole photo looks crisp and sharp.

This is generally true with color digital cameras that use color filter arrays, which is most digital cameras. I have yet to see a camera with a color filter array which looks "sharp" at 1:1 pixels.

To me the detail looks quite acceptable, but I'm not directly comparing it against other photos so I might be wrong.
> It looks like you are in golang core team's minds. You appear to be able to judge intent.

Not at all, Rob Pike stated it fairly explicitly if in somewhat milder terms:

They’re typically, fairly young, fresh out of school, probably learned Java, maybe learned C or C++, probably learned Python. They’re not capable of understanding a brilliant language but we want to use them to build good software. So, the language that we give them has to be easy for them to understand and easy to adopt.
What test would you run to see if your camera's sensor had a hot pixel which was replaced in processing by neighboring pixels?
If it's not a sitcom, I'd rather have FullHD quality (which is between 1 and 5 GB / hour for h265/264).

Psychologists use the term “socialization” to designate the process by which children are trained to think and act as society demands. A person is said to be well socialized if he believes in and obeys the moral code of his society and fits in well as a functioning part of that society. It may seem senseless to say that many leftists are oversocialized, since the leftist is perceived as a rebel. Nevertheless, the position can be defended. Many leftists are not such rebels as they seem.
