I did graduate work in finance coming with a background in medicine completed years before. I learned quickly that that's what I should have done in college: a double major in math and x.
No it wasn't. Stop forming opinions from uninformed internet memes.
They do work pretty nicely for the most part.

The only issue I'm still seeing is when having multiple go.mod files in the same workspace. I end up having to split projects with sub-modules in multiple workspaces in vscode and ignore the sub-modules on the main workspace. https://github.com/golang/go/issues/32394
One sad part of the obsolescence of "classical" BIOS is the loss of access to basic functionality like simple graphics modes.

Of course it's one downside among many upsides but I think there's a point to having a simpler interface to allow stuff like this

With 64 bytes you can't even initialize a window on Linux or Windows.

In addition to the other good comments, manage firefighting as it's own activity.

Create a time tracker where anyone doing unplanned work records it as either firefighting or other unplanned non-firefighting work. Whenever doing planning take the history of these times into account.

Assign one person to be the go-to for any and all fires, have them assess the situation bringing in select other team members as necessary. Having everyone respond to every fire with only a few key people actually doing the extinguishing leads to no scheduled work getting done.

Tech-debt. In my experience a lot of fires result from the tech debt of incomplete or poorly designed/implemented features. Schedule a certain number of hours to reduce this and have a groomed backlog of tech debt prioritized when prioritizing regular schedule work.
I think this advice is given in the right spirit, but is potentially completely wrong.

I agree that it's extremely important to work in high-performing teams, or at least teams that are really good at something. That's true whether you're new or not, since by definition the team of which you are a member will have more aggregate impact than you will.

But working alone is critically important for all the pieces of the development process that aren't technical. Learning to represent yourself and your ideas, execute on the effectively, and drive them to completion without help-- those are the skills which will consistently produce success and whose lack will consistently produce failure. And IMO, you only really learn them when you're on your own and in the crunch.

So if you feel like you have those skills, seek collaboration and the wisdom of crowds. If you don't, I think you're better off seeking challenge and the risk that comes with it.
He's saying that by getting stock grants the workers own the means to production (=socialism, sort of)
> People don't want "hand outs" or "charity", they want to do something to generate value. While I agree that we will ultimately have to pursue some sort of UBI or payoff solution, implementing it requires a complete cultural shift in the way we think about work which will likely be a difficult uphill battle.

"Generating value" is such a capitalist fake idea though.

With UBI, people could potentially pursue whatever fulfills their soul, whether or not it creates economic value for others.

But the capitalist notion of "handouts" being personal failure and "generating value" as the meaning of life is so ingrained in American culture that I don't know how we'll ever move beyond it.
> It will literally run laps around a Tesla at a racetrack because the Tesla will overheat.

Wow dude you're the king of misinformation. Why not link to a 2019 article reviewing Tesla Model 3's Track mode? https://www.motortrend.com/cars/tesla/model-3/2019/tesla-mod...

The Model 3 has a dramatically different thermal management architecture and does not overheat like the Model S did.
Are "pants" good or bad? I can never remember...
The weirdest thing about this whole kerfuffle is that gender is entirely irrelevant on Stack Exchange. Due to the Q&A format where each answer is supposed to stand alone, there's rarely if ever a need to refer to other users in content. If you do need to, eg. in the comments, long-standing convention is to use @username instead of pronouns. And if despite all this I wanted to use pronouns for some weird reason, it's genuinely difficult to figure out which ones, because most usernames are non-gendered and there's no obvious/mandatory place to look them up for a user.
Healthier people are healthier, indeed.

The challenge for some people is how to be physically fit, or how to fit that activity into their own lives or within their own limitations. But surely any activity is better than none. And limit caloric intake to reasonable levels, which will make fitness easier for anyone.
Japanese or German built automobiles are often considered higher quality than American-built vehicles from the same company
for tees ?

it depends what you are looking for.. if the only criteria is quality :

- Maison Cornichon. It is actually a french brand but Japan is by far their biggest market. They use old french machines. the resulting tee is very strong, probably heavier than what you expect. They do have a lot of shrinking when you wash them (and you can expand them again afterwards).

- Merz B. Schwanen : simple high quality german tshirts

- The Real McCoy's : japan brand specifically trying (successfully) to reproduce americana pieces.

- lots of other japanese brands make good tshirts.. it kinda depends what you are looking for. Blue blue japan pieces are often very beautiful but also indigo dyed (so they leak a LOT of pigment the first time they are wet).

- Taylor Stitch actually makes one of the heaviest tshirts I have ever seen.

- Outside of cottons tshirts, there are also tons of merino ones. Outlier would be the most well known in the USA. It is was less resistant to abrasion that a cotton one, but it absolutely does not retain smells (so you could hike 10 days with it if you wished to, it would barely smell anything).

The machines that a lot of these brands use are actually pretty interesting.
These are often very old machines. Their use had been almost completely abandoned because they are pretty slow. There are 'lots' of them in Japan in the first place because several decades ago they were pretty standard. The industry has moved to new machines with better yields but some niche brands saw an opportunity there.

E.G. there are some Youtube videos on how a brand like Momotaro makes denim : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ek5520fSymY
> No it's about money and who gets it. Unless electric cars are going to generate less revenue than petroleum based, which they won't, the pie is the same size.

Right now the margins on gasoline vehicles are much better than electric vehicles, partially due to the technology being relatively immature. The internal combustion engine has more than 100 years and hundreds of billions of dollars in R&D behind its infrastructure.

Apart from that, most dealerships (which is not the same as the automobile manufacturer, but they are closely related) make most of their money from maintenance and servicing vehicles. One of the big selling points of electric vehicles is that they're simpler and cost less money to maintain.

A cursory analysis suggests your opening statement is actually wrong - there will be less revenue if there is widespread shift towards electric vehicles.
My Kenwood thing off Amazon is still working fine after over 10 years. Wasn’t expensive, certainly isn’t artisanal.
Wait, you were talking about space, not "energy production" in general. The space applications are niche, because space itself is niche.

Your claims there with respect to terrestrial energy production are not justifications for nuclear. Wind and solar are much cheaper than nuclear, and rapidly getting even cheaper.

Yes, and if anything the budget electric cars may be more reliable because of no gimmicky features like gull wing doors.

Test your drugs folks!

This service seemed to be missing the rating system that is default behavior on darknet drug bazaars. Operating instead under the lure of exclusivity. The ratings systems tend to call out impure or mis-advertised substances.

Consumers have to keep testing kits in this unregulated environment, and especially decriminalized environments where the state is totally hands off. Consumers can mistake this as tacit consent where peddlers can distribute their snake oil with no regard for their supply chain or their customers.
My entire career (since 1999) I've never had a CS degree. When I did contract work it's never really been a hurdle for me. The longest I've ever gone without work was maybe 2-3 weeks. (and honestly, in the entire time, I've maybe spent a month or so on the bench)

Markets like Upwork and Freelancer are not-so-great options, but there's work there. Codementor is a great place to find work, of various nature (mentoring calls, small freelance projects, and bigger ones).
I feel like a lot of this is rooted in some assumptions that are not being said aloud that you may not even be aware that you have. This is no in any way an attack on you - I find this entire thing absolutely fascinating. I've seen a check twice in my life: One time and old lady tried to pay with it, when I was working as a cashier - I had to call in help, as we were no longer being trained in how to accept them. The other time, I had to get hold of one when I was studying in the US, as I had to pay some fee that was only payable by check. Took me a month and cost me $30 to convince my bank to help me with it, as they told me they weren't sure they could even do it - they hadn't done it in years.

For context, I'm from Denmark.

First of there's absolutely nothing secret about our account numbers. All they can be used for is for transferring money _to us_.

No one carries cash around. Ever. Anywhere. I have not paid anything by cash in at least... I don't know, 10 years? 15? It's mostly used as gifts. Taken out of the bank, handed over, then carried back to the bank.

Basically all banking can be done online or via app. The only time I visited my bank was in regards to my mortgage, and even most of that was handled by email. If I want to do a direct deposit / bank transfer, I can just log into my app and do it. Takes maybe 1 minute.

However these days, most private transactions are done using an app called Mobilepay. Nowadays every single person has it. It's completely free to transfer money for regular people. You can also set up a business account, which I believe may carry a fee but it's minimal (just checked, 10 cents pr transaction in the priciest tier - roughly 4 for the cheapest).

For something like a woodworking business, the way to handle business-to-business transactions, you would probably go with something like an invoice. That's usually completely automatically handled by (free )software, and would only really require the other persons email to get started. The other person receives an invoice with (for example) a direct deposit address and an amount. The transfer is free and require no setup from the payer.

Internet access is everywhere and incredibly cheap. As en example, 6 GB and 6 hours is $10 a month, unlimited data and hours is roughly $20 a month.

Check bouncing is not a thing. You can verify the payment before you deliver the service. Mobilepay payments are instant - I get a notification on my phone that I have received the money as soon as the other party finishes their transaction.
Why is this hard? Can you just pg_dump the schema then diff?

Seems like this isn't something you have to wait for, you can start making one in a language other than C (like Rust jk).
Even given stock, the workers would prefer unprofitable factories because the stock would be a smaller portion of their compensation compared to lost wages.

The problem with stock compensation is that a worker’s incentives aren’t that of an owner. Let’s say that you give them stock, they hold the stock, and the company hits hard times. Now they’ve lost both their job and their savings. That’s bad. Let’s say that you give them 5% of their compensation in stock. They would keep wanting to make unprofitable factories because their stock compensation is minimal. Let’s say 80% of their compensation is stock. They’ll need to sell it to cover living expenses and so you’ve just given them cash with extra steps.

The ownership mentality only works if you’re dealing with rich people (like a CEO) that can defer realizing their compensation and where you’re willing to grossly overpay them.
EV is a small part of the market today. But it's growing fast. As someone who owns an electric car, my next car will definitely be one and I wouldn't buy anything else.

These union deals last 4 years. So the manufacturers have to think about labor and planning long term.
The more common scenario is for the cookies, chips and coke to come from the respective aisle-long displays at the supermarket. Ready to eat frozen meals tend to be high calorie as well.

As for eating out, fast food is bad, but fast casual is worse. All you can eat shrimp at Red Lobster, the pasta cabonara with chicken at Cheesecake Factory (~2300 calories) and your personal pie at the pizza place put on more weight than convenience store snacks. Plus a few beers or glasses of wine, a margarita or two -- pretty soon it adds up.
There are modern toasters with the auto drop functionality but none that I'm aware of that sense the temperature of the bread like the old sunbeam does.
No one is going to notice when the last fax machine is turned off. I wouldn't be at all surprised if a majority of "faxes" sent today never touch a fax machine.
Probably because "employees deserve to be fairly compensated" is a concept from communism (not socialism, but Americans get the two confused all the time) as soon as you divorce "fairly" from "what the employer and employee agree to in a free labor market."

That's not a bad thing, but it's how the definitions and philosophies flow.
Wow this is cool! Any plans to open source it? This is something I'd love to hack on.

Thank you for doing this. I thought i was stuck in a time loop aka Groundhog Day when I saw the thread in HN's front page, and my post was timestamped at 7 hours (instead of 2 days) ago.

I believe this is an important issue. Regardless of whether SO is right or not, they do owe their community (of which I am not a part of) an explanation. Unlike the Google's gender controversy, SO is mostly operated by unpaid volunteers. If you are a paid worker, your share of responsibility and the expectation from/to your company is very different from community driven projects such as SO.

tl:dr SO needs to be held to a higher standard than your usual commercial companies.

As I said, it has not been my experience. But Chinese products like Huawei and Xiaomi are extremely popular due to lower price and similar quality, so if Samsung and other companies really do this, well they're giving up market share for no reason imo.
Hitler had strong support at top levels in the UK government, as in the US government. They did not consider him a problem, but a solution. It took a long time for enough of those people to be overcome before anything concrete could be done, and by then the fire was raging.

We are in the same condition today, vis-a-vis worldwide fascism, with (e.g.) an advocate in the US White House, aligned with counterparts in, e.g., Russia, India, Brazil, Philippines, Hungary, Turkey, and Israel.
In Denmark we have a secure (government controlled) email for communicating securely with government entities and banks. It's where I receive any medical updates from my doctor and any official information from the government. I also receive my payslip, pension info etc.

It has cut down a lot on paper usage and made communicating way more efficient.
I think they still do, in Messages
Computer Science at the end of the day is just applied math. The majority of the algorithms and data structures used today in software engineering were invented more than 50+ years ago.

The language or framework you use really shouldn’t matter all that much. That’s just a matter of taking some time to acquaint yourself with the vernacular. But fundamentally, the maths stays the same.

Batteries are orders of magnitude too expensive if you expect to cover seasonal differences with batteries. But no one in their right mind would do that. You are engaging in a kind of strawman argument I call the Argument from Bad Engineering.

Instead, batteries would be used for short term leveling (diurnal, perhaps a few days). Beyond that, leveling would be by demand dispatch, transmission, dispatchable demand, and long term chemical storage (for example, hydrogen or ammonia). In the shorter term, covering the last 10% with natural gas would be workable, even if the CO2 had to be captured and sequestered.
Nice kernel, hope to use this in the short future
Most probably because the shop invested heavily in specialized machinery and tooling and processes and know-how to optimize production of some niche products with relatively stable demand, until now?
That's not surprising at all: look at jujitsu and judo: the first is a martial art, the last is a sport, who has more practioner? The sport obviously.
And that's fine as long as you know what you get (good shape), if you're under the illusion that with judo you can win real fights then it's dangerous..
Actually good videoconferencing. This means low-latency and high-resolution so that you can see micro-expressions on the participants' faces in real-time not lag-time.

This is more valuable than remote AR/VR.
Do you think the ever increasing focus on increasing shareholder value has played a part in this?
My question is why as a Western dude who grew up with lots of exposure to Christian scripture and surrounding culture elements or churches I can visit am I gonna try and learn someone else’s religion (with none of those advantages) when even taking the “easy” route is extraordinary difficult?
Nobody "deserves" anything. The market is not just for products.

It's hard to do when the people who would be recipients of such help are philosophically opposed to the virtue of such help.

"Learn 2 code" was attempted because offering food stamps and Section 8 housing in coal country gets you immediately shut down. Those people, generally, don't want to perceive themselves as a burden on society.

> Dan Gibson claims that early mosques face Petra rather than Mecca. But he compares the mosque orientations with MODERN directions of Petra and Mecca. He does not realise that historical qibla directions cannot be the same as modern qibla directions. In fact, the easiest mosque orientations were not calculated at all, but relied on astronomical horizon phenomena, not least because the Kaaba itself is astronomically aligned.

Something about ensuring the right pressure / tightness presumably. There are machines that do really sensitive tightening on the market today, but only relatively recently, so the poor human probably has a job only thanks to some ROI analysis that concluded waiting a few years to buy a used machine was more profitable.
By overcompensating people for under-valued work, is how we did it in the Great Depression.
It's really strange to me that this story seems to be so unknown in the US. It's such an important and powerful lesson.

In contrast, I was educated in a European system, and in history class there was strong emphasis on the lessons of being subjected to or being on the brink of a fascist system. There are memorials to the Shoah and the Resistance in every town.

The US enjoyed the luxury of saying "it didn't happen here", but the education system at large really seems to have willfully ignored the lessons Europe has learned.

Hell, the movie about this was german!
I appreciate the feedback (author here).

The blog is explicitly aimed at new developers. For them, I think working alone is a really tough spot, because they're going to have a hard time learning on their own, they won't have anyone to bounce ideas off of regularly, and they won't have someone at work to mentor them.

For developers later in their career, I think your advice is spot on. I remember lying on the ground struggling to solve one of the hardest problems I've ever tried to solve (as co-founder of a startup) and I'm proud of that solution. Having someone there would have helped, but wasn't required and probably wouldn't have helped me grow as much.

The book is so well known in many countries as it's part of the standard curriculum (I had to read it when I was 16), so I think the German film makers felt it needed no particular references to the story. It's right next to Animal Farm, Brave New World, and 1984.

Tech to replace 200k US bank jobs in next decade
Although many may attempt to associate Trump with Hitler, the true bullies of today are Islamic terrorists and leftist socialists. Whenever these two groups are challenged for their violent tactics, they accuse opposition of being racist or bigots. With the defeat of Clinton, the protests did not include any form of debate, but simply involved violence and intimidation in the attempt to force conformity to the leftist view. It is true that it is happening today. Just look at the public schools and universities to see how leftists have controlled the lessons being taught and influenced students to have disdain for their own country while terrorists are glorified as heroes. And millions of patents are willing to spend billions of dollars on such nonsense without question. Parents should demand a refund.
