It's no harder than having conversations in spoken Japanese where you don't see any text, kanji or otherwise.

It would look awkward initially, but that's just because people are just used to the status quo which is kanji-kana mix.
How to Choose the Partition Key
Current economic wealth is implicitly dependent on asymmetric relationships! It's not win win by design. Without the assymetrical relationship wealth doesn't exist.

The other one is predicated in equity but if we talk about it a bunch of suck holes go full Ayn Rand on things.
Why go with a breath based test when a poc finger stick tests generally have higher validity and stricter correlation ranges?
> Tesla's lead is accelerating every year as a new Tesla killer has been perpetually "around the corner."

There won't be a single Tesla killer. It'll be more like a death from a thousand cuts.

Tesla's lead won't last long. Tesla's problem now is that other car companies will release multiple EV models across multiple brands every year from now on. Volkswagen is building VW, Audi, SEAT, Skoda, and Porsche EVs (and their very high end brands will have EVs eventually). Hyundai has a number of nice EVs, Mercedes EVs are rolling out, Ford EVs are on the way, the Honda e is a nice car (although not enough range). Even Toyota has moved up their battery electric timetable, and if Toyota's solid-state battery work pans out they may even end up bringing the best EVs to market.

So she did what every HN thread on the matter says, with good reason : focus on your actual job and salary, not on equity that may or may not have some value some day.

Dont get me wrong it appears the reason she ended up with none is not ok, but would that thread have been made if wework had ended up being one of those "failed" startup and those equities never gain any value?

Would she have preferred to get equity but a lower salary (either at that moment, or on further yearly negotiation) if wework had ultimately failed? Or if like here she left long before she could use it?

Don't think about what could have been with such things, equity as a lowly employee at a tech startup is very much like playing the lottery. If you're not directly invested in it such prefer the hard cash of your salary and don't let survivor bias make you regret that one time things could have been.
It's very common for young people to not understand financial matters like options grants. That doesn't mean it's okay to benefit from their ignorance, especially as the company is now making a large number of people very wealthy.

IMO it's a matter of doing the decent thing over the legal thing. Certainly if I was making a zillion bucks like the boss of WeWork I would find a way to pay the early employees who missed out.
So you're saying that the US is in reality no more developed than a developing ("third world") country?
Is there a way to play the game today, with a CRT screen emulator? I imagine the graphics will hold up a lot more faithfully to memory.
I used to love this game and all but forgot about it til I saw this pop up here. When I was about 12yo or so I emailed Infogrames asking about the game's development as I was interested in games programming back then, one of the developers emailed back and forth with me a few times, pretty cool.

Back then the cool library I found for developing games was Allegro for the DJGPP C/C++ development env for DOS. My brother and I started creating video games. It was so much fun trying to figure everything out and research things online. I seem to remember Yahoo kind of had curated directories of sites related to games programming.

My brother ended up working in the games industry for years, whereas somehow I ended up doing more web and data programming stuff. It pays better but sometimes I get excited about what it may have been like going the route of games dev. Ah, life.
I think if the options are clear and up front, with the "exchange rate" between equity and salary laid out, what you said holds true. I think the tweeter is generally dissatisfied with how little transparency there was.
I hate the "shader to rgb" node. I really wish osl nodes would work in eevee.
IE was superseeded by Firefox in the early 00's at scale, and there's no reason to assume Chrome can't equally be replaced by FF or another browser today. FF got a little help from the EU by requiring MS not to bundle IE with Windows back then and list browser choices for download on install; I think the same would work well on Android today (and in general with Google services such as maps/navigation, email, and search).
> And your comparison of Haskell and Java is particularly interesting. You say that Haskell's type systems is "streets ahead". I agree (although I think this comes at a great cost). However, Haskell correctness or development cost is not "streets ahead" or even noticeably ahead.

I'd argue correctness is in fact streets ahead: orders of magnitude fewer defects (in terms of the code not doing what the programmer intended; the programmer not understanding what some other human intended is still as big a problem as ever) in practice. It's interesting how little value that actually brings in ordinary commercial development, but the correctness techniques will be there when the industry is ready for them. Development cost is much harder to measure; I'd argue that some systems developed with Haskell-like type systems would simply not have been possible to make without them, but that's the sort of question that's very difficult to answer objectively.
It's not my definition of the word. It is the definition.

> Even if you "know" all Kanji in a word you'll likely not understand the word's meaning unless it's something simple and concrete.

I don't think anyone passingly familiar with Japanese thinks otherwise. That is, I think you're arguing against a position here that nobody actually holds. The argument for memorizing kanji is that it makes it easier to learn compound words, not that you'll just know them without learning them.
Most (all of them?) episodes of hyperinflation, including the infamous Weimar Republic and Zimbabwe, are not caused by "printing" too much money, but by a fall in the productive capacity of the economy.

Just because they can do it doesn’t make it optimal.
But then the fact that it is equity has no weight what so ever in the story, it works the same with regular salary : ask for what you want, evaluate properly your position and worth, negotiate, change job if you genuinely think you're worth more but he won't agree, and don't let your boss be the one in charge alone of deciding what's fair to say you're worth, not when he has vested interest in that being as small as possible and you in it being as big as possible. Your boss is not on your side during your contract negotiation.

Make the story about how they gave automatic raise based on position but she's not in the grid so don't get one and it's even something many have heard. Except maybe she would have reacted and argued more.
The non-differing parts are worthless as you are looking for differences. For example, take a group of five people with highly sensitive hearing and a hundred people with normal hearing. You don't care what the sensitives have together with the normals, you care about if you can find a mutation present in all sensitives but in none of the normals. Therefore it makes sense to only look at the differences and throw away the equal parts, you just waste computational resources.
This is true, though I don't know how many edge funds operate. I guess some people really have working strategy!

The example I gave was more of a word of caution regarding past performances as indicator of expertise, but I guess I made it sound more generalizable than needed!
Dosbox, I guess. But I have never tried this CRT emulator, so I can't vouch for it.

>> An aside: I've heard that when learning a language, you should be able to understand roughly 80% of what you're reading/listening to, because then you'll have enough of a base to not feel overwhelmed, while still having new stuff to absorb.

Funny as this is how I learned (and have similarly described) to read language X and it felt ___almost___ like zero resistance. I learned first just to identify each character by name, then somewhat how they were pronounced, then vowels, then how there were pronounced, then special rules for X, then special rules for Y.

All of the learning material clump them together from start, a few consonants, a few vowels, some of their properties, and rules on how to combine them. All at once, this made me ignore writing for years until I tried it my way which I think worked well (although it took some time, still).

And have you ever sought out what opinion Japanese Braille readers have of the system? Whether they find it "less than optimal"?

I can't find the references right now but my memory from reading up on it at one time is that users were very happy with the system, that there is a fair amount of material transcribed into Japanese Braille, that it's quite easy to learn and that children become proficient readers faster than child learners of the regular writing system.
Equity is like a superpower in negotiation with employees. Because it is zero sum among them, it neutralizes collective bargaining—the most effective form of negotiation they have.

So it’s not as black and white as, she should have done this or that differently, or someone should have made this or that disclosure or even helped her out. Equity is pretty magical in how it makes people misbehave and turn on each other.

And feeling mad that she got a raw deal is the right emotion here.

Do you have any recommendations for learning more about that?
I recently started working full-time at a tech company and I feel like I also have too little understanding of those things.
We're they raping in order to replenish their armies? The claim is rather far fetched.
You make a good point, and I don't disagree there are possible downsides. To be fair, some of the details you described could be issues with in-house employees as well, imho (folks/teams claiming clean/maintainable code when it's not, wanting to seem necessary, having the power to claim what the team is doing is right and good for business without business knowing any better, etc).
That's strange. I don't have anything like that in my
.emacs but I do get indentation automatically for Haskell files.
I do have a recent dante-mode though. Perhaps dante-mode turns it on automatically?
You're not insane at all. A substantial proportion of the
Haskell community (I feel like it's a majority but it's hard to be sure) have a strong distaste for partial functions (e.g.
head) and functions that throw exceptions (i.e. where you
can't see from the type signature what the possible failure
modes are). I'm afraid that momentum means that the base
libraries change slowly, but you're a long way from alone.

I suggest you come to https://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/ if you'd like more discussion about it. We often have threads wishing for partial functions to be removed from base!
I fail to see her point. There’s always lack of transparency in equity allocation. If there exist a startup with a transparent cap table, that’s surely exceptional.
In English there's a lot of words you only see in books, you wouldn't pick them up by listening. So the only way to learn to read literature is to read literature, and tolerate a certain % of confusion. I learned most of those words through repeated in-context exposure, and eventually one will get stuck in my head later in the day and I have to look it up.

The downside of this is, when someone asks while they are reading, "hey what does [word] mean?", I often can't tell the precise definition, because I never looked it up, but I can usually read the sentence and understand it with context.
>Will it start removing those results, effectively censoring another huge chunk of the Internet?

speaking as an evil overlord, the most illegal extension of Google's search monopoly would be to redirect those results through Google Drive in a way that forces users to go through Google Drive to see and access the full link or download any of its contents.

By the way, Google, would you like me to apply as a product manager (I'm very evil), or are you still doing the don't be evil thing? Any Google product managers reading this, specifically, would you welcome me as your evil colleague, so we can do evil and wrong things together, illegally extending Google's monopoly and closing off the web and making it worse for everyone? Team fit is very important for me, I don't know if it's the right environment for me. Like I said my only requirement is a very evil workplace, with lots of evil colleagues who have the worst intentions and actively sneer at users. I'm like that - would I fit in?
By treating all users as hopelessly incompetent we are making great progress towards a society that is less tech literate than 10 or 20 years ago.

Nice work guys, keep it up!

Seriously: it is one thing to add airbags, seatbelts and all kinds of crash protections but at the point where you are geofencing the cars, weld the hood and limit max speed to 60km/h you know it isn't about safety even of each of those can be proposed as a safety feature for smaller or larger parts of the population.

It is about control. Or I'm tempted to say it could also be about software designers who are more nannies than engineers and user advocates.
No, actually the Explorer FTP support doesn't come from a browser at all. It's actually the other way around - IE handed off FTP handling to Explorer.
That would be the reversion to the mean[1]. This is a term I really dislike because it makes it sounds as if there is some sort of equalizing force making over-performers under-perform later. This is more the following: if you overestimates the expectation of a random process, you are going to be disappointed.

In our case, this does not makes the "hot streak" any less probable when you start looking, for a specific edge fund. It is true it would be interesting to select a group of over-perfomer and study their future return to know if past performances are a good predictor of future performance. I feel you would probably get mixed results!

Although as I said in the sibling comment, you are probably right, and no amount of statistics could explain performances seen in this particular edge fund.

Actually, I suspect it's a pretty decent example.

Most non-native students of Japanese will almost always encounter that word in hiragana, katakana, or even Romaji--encountering that as a kanji is actually remarkably rare.

The fact that the kanji for kawaii is an ateji makes it one of those odd ducks.
> (Maybe IMAP is a text format too, so this isn't an advantage inherently)

Actually, IMAP is a binary format that looks like a text format. This distinction is extremely important when you want to make a reliable Email client. There are also multiple ways of encoding text within it, that you need to keep track of.

Personally, I wish they used a structured binary encoding. This becomes especially important when data size efficiency actually matters. With something like protobuf, you can even have the parser for it generated for you. (However, I have worked with binary formats that are more loosely structured.)

Of course I am a fan of well defined and strongly typed formats.

Children used to be a way to support oneself in retirement. The more children you had, the better chance that at least one or two would be around in adulthood to take care of you.

Affluence means you have the means to take care of yourself, so therefore don't need to spend the effort of raising kids for this reason.

This is why I created an Anki deck that contains both kanji and common words that use those kanji [1]. It even includes statistics on how much each reading is used, so you can estimate if it's worth learning this reading or treat it as an exception.

I want to agree with you (having spent many hours learning kanji and feeling like after I've learned the kanji, they're valuable to my comprehension), but having learned Korean I can see how you can eventually get along without them and in the end I feel like it's equivalent to Latin and English. Knowing the Latin makes things easier, but I didn't have trouble with English before I knew the roots of words. My understanding now is just richer nowadays.
They'll switch to links which require proper cookies and referers to be set making them impossible to wget. As they always do.

Don't use the rated wattage of your motor for this kind of comparison. Some electric motors can run briefly at 10x or more their rated current, and sustained if they have very good cooling.

Likewise, poor cooling can lead to a 10x decrease in motor performance.

Cooling is usually the biggest limiter of power, but max rpm (before the thing blows apart) combined with iron saturation (effectively meaning the magnetic fields inside can't get any stronger, even with more current) can also be a limit.
I guess many old website maintenance workflows still rely on ftp'ing HTML and assets to the web server (though not through browsers). I personally have recommended clients to switch over to ssh/scp 15 years ago if they can help it but their hosting package might not support it. The optimal, made-for-purpose protocol for this use case is WebDAV but I'm not sure it's still supported out-of-the-box by all major OSs and/or hosting packages.
When I first started driving, I would go out of my way to fill up at the Walmart gas station, simply because their pumps were noticeably faster.
Partial function is a standard mathematical term, not a programming language (PL) one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_function so what you say seems wrong

A function that is non-partial is, in standard maths parlance, a total function https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_function#Total_functio...

Such terms are certainly used in that sense by PLs eg in scala Function and PartialFunction types exist with those intended semantics, and it seems haskell recognises the terminology https://wiki.haskell.org/Partial_functions (though whether it supports them in the language definition or libraries I don't know).

It's crazy how much worse they have gotten. I used a decades old microwave. Physical buttons that made sense like (from memory): +30s, +1min, +5min, Low, Medium, High, Defrost, Cancel, Start.

A new one I used had a wheel to adjust value, and a touch screen to chose which value to adjust. The touchscreen was almost completely irresponsive touchscreen (like long hard press 5 attempts before it works). Effect was preselected despite rather than time which varies more. The visual indication of which one is being adjusted is ambiguous (one light, one dark).
But I want to switch to my new branch. One of these commands will have to do double duty.

Either switch/checkout will create or branch will switch.

I don’t see why choosing one for double duty is inherently worse than the other.

That's it, before your post I couldn't even imagine a VR based kind of experience, now you provided a good example, which doesn't mean that - as said - it will be intrinsically better than more traditional non-VR methods, in my opinion.

I already tried to explain the reasons why, a simulation is a simulation and most people are aware of that, thus I cannot believe that an experience like the one you described can actually "stick" in the minds of the participants, I think that most of them will simply take it for a "game about an escape room", unless they have a previous sensitivity to the racial or gender (or whatever other) biases.
