> Any company that cannot be profitable and pay their employees enough to cover basic needs shouldn't exist as a company.

There are many ways to cover your basic needs that don't require you to live on your own in a one-bedroom apartment and three square meals a day. In fact, most of humanity survived by pooling resources. The ability to live entirely on your own being common is a very recent phenomena as is three square meals a day.

All your stating is that people shouldn't have options where they can pool resources. As someone supporting two older adults in my household, you're saying that if they can't get hold a livable wage jobs (unlikely given that one has Parkinson's) but still still could earn money and contribute to the household. You've not made my circumstances harder by legislating away opportunities for them to contribute.

What are 10 crucial things that you need to side load on Android? I keep hearing about "all the customization" that you can do on Android vs iOS and I wonder exactly what is it that is life altering, or even 20% more efficient in the use of the device based on this, versus stock Android or stock iOS.

I'm not talking about weimar republic style hyperinflation my feeling is more on the order of 5 - 12% (maybe not even by CPI standards). Essentially 1970's style stagflation again. CA wages are already high a few years of that and Uber will be back at baseline.
> My benchmark would be the XBox One X, which is perfectly capable of 4k 60 fps gaming

Going to disagree with you here. I don't think there is even one game that runs at full 4K (not CBR) and maintains 60fps. If there is one I would love to know so I can check it out but so far everything I play on my Xbox One X is either running at well below 4K in order to maintain 60fps or runs at 30fps with 4K CBR. Very few games are true 4K.

Not a big fan of Uber, but on the other hand a lot of cities were operating crony "taxi medallion" rackets that were enriching vested taxi interests and speculators, but hurting drivers and riders.

Ridesharing is more convenient, safer, cheaper, and more environmentally friendly. There's less idling, less aimless driving, less congestion, more carpooling, no clumsy exchange of cash or credit cards, the reputation of drivers is visible, and the ride is fully tracked so your whereabouts are known.

The author of that second one is a frequent HN commentator. Let me attempt to summon him to this thread to see if he has anything more to say, since that was written in 2011 so might be a bit out date.

Begin summoning ritual...

• It's easy to secure email with GPG.

• DNSSEC is a state of the art design that you should adopt on your website as soon as possible, to make up for the deficiencies of TLS.

• You should use /dev/random for most cryptographic random number generation on Linux. /dev/urandom is only good for things where security doesn't matter.

...end summoning ritual.
Ways for Engineers to Leverage Their Social Media Accounts
They didn't say the petition was to give drivers the right to "influence" in a vacuum as it it could be interpreted as anything, such as "influence the company" or "influence their pay scale" or "influence company policy", it was specific "influence decisions about their work."

you could have just as easily quoted any other word, "decisions" "about" "their" "work" as those words are not "control" either, but when you put it all together, "influence decisions about their work" that sounds a lot like control.

Contractors are supposed to have control over their work already, if it makes it easier remove "influence" and if you think there is a more fair interpretation of "decisions about their work" lets have it.

We've been seeing steady advances on this front, not from AI, but from improving tools. Programmers today can often do in a week what couldn't be done in a month twenty years ago. But demand for programmers is steadily rising.

Well make the plumbing stuff easier (I'm working on this directly) but that will just enable programmers with more time to work on real problems. It won't reduce demand, we're far from peak coding or even imaging what that might look like.

Sometimes it's a thought smell, but sometimes it's shorthand for "has learned the lessons of recent history", which is indeed valuable.

A pretty website, but I'm not entirely sure how this differs from a mailing list based on your landing page.
On one hand, you're totally right.

I've been writing perl for twenty years, and while I love its practical expressiveness (higher than any other language currently in use, as an objective measure), I've frequently wished it had better performance and lower memory footprint.

The go-to solution for that has been to profile one's code and rewrite the critical path in C, with which perl interfaces readily. It's the same story with python -- very expressive, but slow and fat (slower and more memory-hungry than perl, even), with easy C integration as the common solution. C integration works, though it's less than ideal.

On the other hand, you're being a bit uncharitable by assuming the MoarVM developers aren't focusing on performance.

They prioritized getting it working -first-, but have since paid more attention to improving its run-time performance. Their efforts have already made considerable impact, with more on its way.

I've benchmarked its performance a couple of times, and it's still too slow to interest me, but will keep an eye on it. At some point there may be an inflection point which makes it a compelling alternative to other languages.

Though perl is still my bread-and-butter, and I've written python for a living and liked it, I've become quite infatuated with D of late. It's essentially C with some straightforward extensions and improvements, which gives it roughly 3x to 4x as much practical expressive power than C (but only about 1/3 the expressiveness of perl), and excellent support for casual parallelism, while matching C for run-time performance and small memory footprint.

Before I wrote perl for a living, I wrote C for several years, and D has "clicked" with me in a way that other languages have not. Learning python and Go was rough, but I muscled my way through them. Learning D hasn't been like that. It's actually pleasant to learn, and I find myself thinking about it when I really should be focusing on other things.

One thing D doesn't have is a lot of jobs. Maybe it will someday, but I expect to write perl6 for a living before writing D for a living (and expect to be writing perl and python for a living for a while before that).

Anyway, my point is that the MoarVM developers are actively working to give perl6 better run-time performance, and it is way too early to discount perl6 on account of its current performance.
The "safety" being discussed here isn't system integrity, but rather cryptographic side channel safety, which is very much an open question in Javascript.

You should think more about: api management (as selling API to someone) and as a security enforcement point to make sure some rules are applied, always!

Those simple api gateways are replaced or will be replaced, that's probably true.
It's the replacement part that I was referring to. More like if the friend was previously drinking too much whisky, and thought they should stop drinking so much alcohol, so got massively into craft beer.
Then it should have been called "1.0". Calling it "DEFINITELY NOT 1.0" while deciding that that is secret P6 code for "really means 1.0" is awfully bad marketing.

(More seriously, slow performance, missing features, bugs, etc. were part of the reason for not calling it "1.0", but I would agree that to be really successful, the language needs a release that is called 1.0 and acts like it.)

I think it looks promising. Just trying to move to Azure Devops and it has a good product/issue separation I think, but it's way too customizable. I don't want a tool that can be made to suit any process, I want one that supports a reasonable process without hours of configuration and plugin. E.g. i Azure Devops it seems extremely hard to get feature progress and time rollups for features broken into backlog items and further into tasks. Everything seems estimated separately and marking a task as having spent 10h on is never seen as 10h spent on the backlog item or top level feature. It's confusing as hell (I'm probably just not getting it - but that's usually just a sign of poor UX instead of missing or incorrect functionality)

That's for that kind of things I don't trust Google anymore.

Personnal experience : my landowner wanted me to buy a pair of MBT shoes and found a site named mbtsolde.com (equivalent in english to mbtsales) which offered mbt shoes at high discount. Upon payment, the site proposed no paypal or the usual gateways present on french/belgian e-commerce but instead only traditional credit card (mastercard and the like).

I signified to my land owner I didn't trust the site, adding paypal was a good indication about the trust you could grant to an e-commerce. After further searching, I discovered MBT shoes were subject to scams by chinese companies impersonnating specialised MBT stores and that the issues was nearly ten years old.

For privacy concern I don't use (or rarely) google anymore directly and use instead searx, a open source metasearch engine providing anonymized results of a hundred classic and specialized search engine, like yandex, yahoo, bing, qwant, faroo, google, but also torrent site search engine, wikipedia and other specialised sites...

It took me again 2 other searches with words like "fake mbt shoes" and "how to recognize fake mbt ?" to finally find the real official MBT site and its european shop on a subdomain, on a YANDEX search result. The site even inform the visitor it put in place a certification to recognize authentic shoes and get informed of the official local dealer where to buy mbt shoes. On the Google side, most search result were either scam sites, scam blog posts advertizing scam sites pretending to inform visitor about fake MBT shoes and amazon search results about MBT shoes (which has an endemic counterfeit products issue).

This is a very good point. The Tree Notation ecosystem I work on (https://treenotation.org), would only have been an incremental improvement back 30 years ago. But now 1) cruft has accumulated and 2) there are new opportunities to exploit Tree Notation thanks to machine learning (for program synthesis, amongst other things) and visual programming, so the benefits at this time could hit that 10x number.
That's exactly what I was saying: that many websites' algorithms punish you for choosing privacy (Tor) by making you fill captchas all the time.
perl6 has a REPL just like python if you just type perl6. There is a package manager called zef. It has some of the best and most human-readable compiler errors I have ever seen in a compiler. It has one of the simplest FFI to C I have seen to interface with the rest of the world. If there is anything perl6 got wrong, it wasn't ergonomics.

If you have a WSJ subscription, this article provides a good overview:

https://www.wsj.com/articles/research-finds-genetic-links-to...

The study involved people who self-reported whether they had ever had sex with someone of the same sex, not whether they considered themselves gay, lesbian, bisexual or another orientation.

“Behavior versus identity are different components and different pieces of how people think about their sexual behavior,” said Benjamin Neale, a geneticist and member of the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard University who is one of the study’s senior authors. “That is a really critical aspect to sort of appreciating and understanding how we think about these kind of issues.”

Taking into account the entire contribution of genetic markers that may play a role, the researchers estimated that genetic variation could account for up to 8% to 25% of same-sex sexual behavior in the population studied. But when the researchers pooled all of the identified markers to create a score for an individual person, the genetic variation explained less than 1%, making it practically impossible to predict a person’s sexual orientation or behavior based on their genome.

“It does solidify the fact that genes matter,” said Michael Bailey, a psychology professor at Northwestern University who wasn’t involved in the work. “But it also provides more support for something that we all knew, pretty much—that genes can’t be close to the entire story.”
That literally is the point of the person whose point you don't see.

Depends how you look at it. If you're looking purely at supply and demand of drivers, it's fine. If you think people working 40 hours a week should be able to afford decent housing and health insurance it's probably too low.

I think there's a greater underlying dichotomy here that's relevant to your tailor-made suit analogy: the people who love Perl tend to be the people who are building and maintaining mostly only their own tooling and (usually small) codebases, and the people who don't love Perl tend to be the ones that are responsible for maintaining large piles of other people's code.

A language that's "tailor-made" for the individual is fantastic when you only have to deal with your own code. You get to write stuff that makes sense to you. It doesn't matter if it's unconventional or doesn't make sense to anyone else -- it fits the way that your brain works.

But when cooperating on larger projects with lots of other people involved, this backfires remarkably. You now need to understand the way that half a dozen or more other brains work.

As software development has gradually shifted away from the published efforts of lone hackers and towards the collaborative efforts of teams of specialized people, Perl's "TMTOWTDI" approach has made it a far more expensive language to develop software in than all of the alternatives.

Oh apologies I made an assumption there I probably shouldn’t have.

To me naming is was mostly how it rolls off the tounge so I’m not a fan of multi syllable words that aren’t super common.

I’m also not a fan of ‘clever’ words that have dual meaning, like tattoos it should mostly be an aesthetic thing.

But I’m not surprised when I hear communities responding to change poorly. Any large community has this problem and it’s best to ignore the rancour. Not everyone should have an opinion and there’s nothing that attracts more than a name. So it will come down to personal taste.

I’d 100% defer to the primary devs on this one.

Yes, what Grinnz says. "Bash on steroids" is one of perl's strongest use-cases. It's why a lot of system administrators learned perl.
It is widely known that the public is (individually) bad at making decisions, but they are the only group that can consistently be trusted to hold the interests of the public at heart. It doesn't matter how smart policymakers are if they direct their intelligence to their own benefit.

Let's say that you and someone ten times smarter than you had to decide on what's for dinner. Even though they are smarter than you, you would still want a say, because no matter how dumb you are you still have preferences.

It's kind of an "inverse conspiracy" to think that a group of skilled people will conspire in secret to help you when they could be serving themselves: without evidence, it's no more rational than negative paranoia.

(By the way, who administered IQ tests to everyone in the CIA? They're drawn from the American population and they aren't paid millions. They could easily have the same brains per capita as the people who believe what they hear on cable news.)
I do not enjoy Perl, but I have a positive opinion of it :) I launched my career in the late 90s as a Perl/XS/CGI (later mod_perl) developer and have many fond memories of it. I also have seen enough cases of Perl codebase deterioration to acquire significant distaste for it as far as enterprise projects are concerned. I enjoy using it for one-liners and small scripts here and there because it's VI-like in terms of being ubiquitous. I just don't programming Perl in teams larger than 1. Makes sense?
