What I learned is that these jobs are only really fun if you are the founder. Over 20 years, I was the technical co-founder at 3 different startups, and I had crazy fun at each of those jobs, even when we were working 70 hours a week. Because when you are a founder, you're really only under the pressure that you yourself set for yourself. Yes, I worked very hard, but I was working on my ideas, I was meeting cool people, I had absolute freedom to set my own hours. It was fun.

I then made the mistake of thinking that I would also have the same kind of fun as an employee. I became the tech lead at a startup, thinking I would have the kind of freedom that I previously had. This was a mistake. I was very excited about the technology that this startup was working on, but in the end I found, these jobs are much less fun, if you are not the founder, because there is a lot of pressure that comes from up above you, and when you come up with what you think is a great idea, you don't get to implement it. And there are additional frustrations: for instance, on this project I came to believe that it was crucial that we fire our initial data scientist, but the top leadership refused to fire him. This was a major roadblock that I would not have faced if I was the founder, as I would have had the authority to fire someone if I was the founder.

For anyone interested, I wrote in great detail about the experience here:

Tangentially related, but for some reason many Americans that I've talked to here in the US (I'm originally from Europe, and have lived in Germany for several years) have a collective misconception that "The Autobahn" is a particular designated, semi-mythical piece of highway somewhere in Germany that doesn't have speed limits. They don't understand that lack of speed limits is the default on any limited-access highway in the country (unless explicitly restricted).
It's way beyond Try 2.

And the last company to try this exact model, Vessel, was snapped up and murdered by Verizon to keep it from being a threat...
Lets me specify a single file system; I don't think `mount` does that (unless I'm blind; possible).
How can you enforce identity verification in the way that the terms specify?

> "We reserve the right to inspect all data contained within the service for legal, compliance and for the operation of the service."

> "For identity safety, we reserve the right to verify your identity, and your method of payment."

> "You may not use the address to impersonate someone else."

It sounds like the service is going to read a user's emails to ensure that they are not using a false identity. What if the user has a name change after buying the address, assumes a new gender identity or claims to be of one or more ethic groups? What if a user sends his/her social security number in an email? How do you compel a user to turn over personal or identifying information without breaking a lot of laws?

Again, it seems like an oddly misplaced joke.
A couple of the things that make it much better for me are plugins: zsh-autosuggestions and zsh-syntax-highlighting. I think those are both fish-inspired, but getting those features in a bash/posix-compatible shell is the best of both worlds.
I am very interested in multi-platform Kotlin. I'm not sure how far it will get but on the surface I think it is more likely for Kotlin to work on iOS than Swift on Android.

Still learning about compose.

For me, it's vertically integrated privacy.
This is actually a decent point, and tech has only recently realized that they need lobbyists in order to smooth the legislative runways (this is the most charitable description I could imagine for what is being done here).

Congress & the executive may want to look into this with cool heads rather than doing the lambasting song and dance. There’s a lot of s&p 500 money in the companies they are going after, and I’m getting the feeling that the “enormous tax cut” is really just gonna end up as cushion for trillions in dumbass value destruction.
No that price included a RTX2080 which is a pretty decent card and better than the base config in the new Mac Pro.

Platform supports ECC all Ryzens do, though it’s on the board vendors to support it officially.

Cache size no idea, will not that the new 3900X would obliterate the sky lake Xeon (12 cores vs 8 and comparable or better IPC) on in the Mac Pro base confit, it’s an 8 core older architecture against AMD’s new best consumer processor and its 499 vs intels neatest equiv at 1100, it’s not even remotely close at the moment.

No mention of the refresh rate for the monitor? Seems strange that it's not mentioned so I'm guessing it's 60Hz which sucks when you've used 144
It's still in there. The linked article tells how to do it.

In Terminal, enter $ chsh -s path, where path is one of the shell paths listed in /etc/shells, such as /bin/zsh, /bin/bash, /bin/csh, /bin/dash, /bin/ksh, /bin/sh, or /bin/tcsh.
This seems be directed at creators interested in their platform, which would be their audience at this stage. The "algorithm" on YouTube can decide whether or not a video will be discovered. Guaranteeing that subscribers will see their recent content could be a good selling point.
It would be great until you need to debug something. Then it would be a nightmare.
I hardly see how this proves anything. bitcoins are still extremely valuable. the alternative coins are not.
It’s much easier just to buy location data from the cell phone providers. They were selling it willingly.
Thinking about starting a new project over the summer. But seeing the demos it seems just starting something in UIKit now is a bad idea?
Well, I know plenty of developers who opted for the 256GB MacBook Pro models and they're fine with it, myself included. Sure, I'd prefer more storage if I can have it, but I can definitely live with this and still have plenty of space.

Saying no one would buy it is an exaggeration.

There have been hundreds of attempts and Youtube itself already has direct monetization options.

Video is the hardest because of the cost of production and hosting, but subscriptions just don't scale very far. People always forget that the vast majority of people on this planet cannot afford these rates, and putting up a paywall only prevents them from getting access.

WeGift | Frontend Developer, Python Developer, Lead Engineer, Infrastructure Engineer, Product Owner, UI Designer | Cambridge, UK | ONSITE Full Time | https://wegift.breezy.hr/

I'm a full stack dev mainly dealing with frontend candidates but we have many openings. We're currently a small team (7 dev, 15ish commercial) moving from startup to scale-up territory and we need to grow our team.

Our stack:

- Python / Flask

- Postgres / SQL Alchemy

- Celery

- Webpack / ES6+ / Typescript

- Vue.js

Location is a private office in a large new co-working space on Cambridge Science Park.

You'll be working on our platform and suite of products all centered around delivering value from companies to consumers using gift cards (a massive market relatively untouched by modern technology).

See https://wegift.breezy.hr/ and https://wegift.io/ for details. Mention Will's post on HN.
Same here... I honestly can't bear to look at it, and I'm not looking forward to seeing this pop up at work.
Maybe you haven’t looked around in a while; the toasters are Thunderbolt-attached now, and they take (en-cartridged) NVMe SSDs. There’s nothing slow or high-latency about that. Copy your assets over to your project disk from your NAS at the start of a new project, and then forget about it.

Alternatively, forget hotswap and use a Thunderbolt DAS with RAID6. Burn your projects from your DAS to a portable SSD when you want to pass them over. Only takes a minute or two.
How is a smaller user base more viable? You can look at Patreon to see just how few accounts make anywhere near a fulltime salary, let alone enough to pay for top tier video production. This model depends on scale.

Also how are ads "harder to implement"?
> In the US where we tip restaurant workers, restaurant wages are often much lower than comparable positions in industries that don't have tipping, so much so that the difference is often explicitly included in minimum wage laws.

This is putting the cart before the horse.

...And even that still isn't close to happening.

All we've seen so far is tarted-up driver assist systems that sometimes suddenly decide they don't want to be in control anymore, killing the actual driver or whoever happens to be unlucky enough to be in front of the vehicle.

It's all hype.

The problem is too difficult to solve with current technology without drastically changing the roads and removing humans altogether.

Rio Tinto was able to get it working with a drastically limited scope on closed roads with infinite money.

>Autonomous haul trucks are operated by a supervisory system and a central controller, rather than a driver. They use pre-defined GPS courses to automatically navigate haul roads and intersections and to know actual locations, speeds and directions of other vehicles at all times.

San Jacinto Blvd. at the University of Texas at Austin campus. I would intentionally ride there on my commute because the speed limit is so low.

To be fair, few drivers seem to actually go 40 mph, though 25-30 mph seems to be regularly observed, particularly on the downhill road next to it (Deloss Dodds Way). I could easily do 30 mph going downhill there. I think the speed limit is 15 in that entire area due to the heavy pedestrian traffic.

I can only speak for React, but the declarative component model doesn't eliminate state or imperative code, it just nudges you towards separating your stateful code from your layout/rendering code. In the React/Redux convention, your application is one big state machine with transitions encoded in reducers, and your state -> view data transformations in "selectors". View components are composed into one big pure function of state. Putting barriers between those classes of functionality makes it much easier to compose complex behavior from small, focused functions. Obviously you can write code with those properties in any context, but conventional React/Redux architecture makes the lines more explicit, which is why I like it. Lots of people hate it.
I agree that being forced into 6% commission regardless of the effort it took to buy/sell your house is a problem, I don't think that extra few percent is what's pricing people out of buying a home.
Oh fluidics. Darn. I was hoping for some Boolean logic encoded directly in Navier-Stokes or something, e.g. some bath of water that had Turing complete flow patterns in some way. Though I guess that would actuallly solve the Millennium Prize problem...
Assuming a city grid, wouldn't you have at most 2 turns to get where you're going (assuming start and end inside the grid)?

Inside a city these dedicated bike lanes are great, especially with dedicated bike traffic lights. Obviously doesn't apply to longer/winding rides.

It says third party so the google and fb apps theoretically wouldn’t be effected?

I’m still unclear how the anonymized email address is triggered - is it specific to apple sign-in, or is it going to be a (yay) system level feature (eg available in safari for generic site logins)
You're absolutely right about needing an office like solution for a lot of people, but that doesn't necessarily mean your organisation's office. Co-working spaces allow you to have an office closer to you, often allow fairly flexible pricing based on your specific needs, and you have choice on which office environment you want. I only hope that it becomes more normal for companies to shrink their central offices and subsidise remote employees using those spaces instead.
If you have the right paper you can download and print your own notes from https://5thpillar.org/programs/zero-rupee-note/

I believe note will be historically important. I wanted an example for my currency collection. Although Fifth Pillar printed more than a million of these notes and has been distributing them for six years they have been scarcer than hen's teeth on the collectors' market.

I had no luck contacting 5th Pillar. I tried repeatedly from 2009 to 2013 without success. In 2014 I was able to obtain samples from Joel's Coins website. They were selling for $2/note (but cheaper in quantity), far more than the face value of the 50 rupee note they imitate. Because I could find no examples with a provenance to 5th Pillar I am not 100% certain the examples sold to collectors in 2014 were produced by 5th Pillar.

I feel like you could make 6 minutes of air last an hour or more if you breathed really slowly (like one breath every 30-60+ seconds). Maybe I'm misunderstanding the device he had, or maybe it already has that assumption built in, or maybe he just wasn't quite that efficient but that is part of why he was blacked out but not dead when his friends pulled him up.
Do you also wheel around your monitor?
Natural monopolies are just as bad if they exploit their monopoly, which they will certainly do if they’re left to their own devices.
Could negative currency be useful? For instance a fungible, negotiable debt instrument, registered on a blockchain so it can't be unilaterally destroyed. Put contractual language on it to the effect that "Registering acceptance of this note obligates you to pay $X to the U.S. treasury by date Y."

Bob buys an apple from Alice but doesn't have the cash, so instead accepts/registers a -$1 note from Alice, who now has less of a tax obligation to the treasury. A portion of the negative purchase price is for insurance and interest, so the positive price of the apple is a lower absolute value.

It could be a low friction mechanism for small loan transactions.
For even more historical context, macOS originally shipped with tcsh. We've already done the shell transition once, and basically nobody noticed.
I think it is mainly because `fish` is incompatible with everything. Most `bash` scripts runs fine in `zsh` (`zsh` has even a `bash` compatibility mode, not necessary generally because rarely `zsh` and `bash` diverges), no `bash` script runs fine in `fish`.
I found a Time article agreeing, but upon further investigation it cites the exact same advocacy group as their source as well. I'll agree with plausible but dubious.
They tried, they didn’t have a way to force it on companies. Not sure how that’s considered dropping the ball?
That is a great mission, and it's awesome to see it happening in Melbourne! I'll keep an eye on you guys... :-)
It's so weird that Cuda has latched on to the ML world so tightly. It's a field where literally everything else is all about open-sourcing and giving away ivory tower knowledge, and then there's so much BS that Nvidia makes you go through - I had to wait a few days to get "approved" to download CudNN, where else is that acceptable? AMD releases high-quality open-source drivers, has better performance/TDP, usually better performance/$, and isn't having security issues every month. It'd be great to see them start to compete with ML libraries as well, they're such a better citizen.

So no Nvidia cards is a feature for me.
Hah I really love discussions like that, everyone is right to some certain point.

If there would be one size fits all solution, we’d had one of those.

Generally the quintessence is the big role of money.
But you just can’t create money out of nothing. Money comes from actions, money causes actions. If the Cashflow is redirected, something else will suffer from it.

Is it problematic if Apple says "you must include us if you include anyone else?" That seems anti-competitive to me.
This is like saying you can get the same calories as a high end steak by eating $0.50 worth of table sugar.

Technically true. Yet not a useful substitution for anyone but hummingbirds.

This is remarkably similar to the Lox language and the book Crafting Interpreters[1] by Bob Nystrom, which I only just read about on HN like two days ago. (Edit: one major difference is, Nystrom's book is free.)

My niece (pre-K age) had to deal with that. She went golfing with my brother and Dad three times a week at the same course. She would always get a bag of beef jerky. On the first hole one day a crow came down and stole the bag from the cart while they were on the green. It proceeded to follow them around the course all the while eating from the bag. My niece did not take it well, and yelled a lot at the crow (all anger no crying, she does have the family temper).

Next time they went golfing, the crow brought friends, but my niece didn't set the bag down and yelled at the crows multiple times (crows need to be taught morals too). The crows did keep trying getting some skittles off my brother once except for a day an eagle was camped out in the trees.

I once heard an opinion that if you see an ad in a place you often visit, then you are the target. If it's out of your reach now, you're supposed to be impressed and desire to get that thing some day. And complaining about the price is a form of admiration; would anyone complain (not ridicule) about something they think is useless?
Know what else is a drag on the economy? Banks and their high interest loans.
It's usually direct-attached storage, not network-attached. They use USB-C or Thunderbolt cables to join to a RAID storage device, and then backup/archive to a network based storage pool later.
They even have wheels!

I think this is where our respective experiences diverge, at least momentarily. Yeah, eventually a company will (hopefully) try to build better tools (as I and the rest of my team are trying to do in our case), but there will be an often-long gap between some employee creating a spreadsheet-based monstrosity and some engineering team turning that into a better tool/system.

I like it because it is easier to add than remove. Spacemacs has so many language specifics keybindings that, while taking less time to be productive, also makes customization much harder thanks to the multiple conflicts that you will probably get when trying to map something.

However this is the trade-off. You have to spend more time in doom-emacs, however there is less friction to customize.
