Do not ask for more money. It would seem (or be, depending on your perspective) extortionate, since you'd essentially be holding the solution hostage that you agreed to build for a more or less agreed upon price.

Instead I would ask for a performance bonus or something, perhaps contingent upon your ability to deliver it quickly, among other things.
They may cost $5,000/kg today, but obviously if the product tastes good, the multi-billion-dollar market will rapidly provide capital for scaling out unit costs.
This is a funny kind of bubble quote, by someone I think out of touch with most people.

I believe most people would watch TV, play cards, play video games. This is what they already do with their spare time, there's no reason to believe there wouldn't be more of it.

It's amazing what a 'schedule' and 'working with others' and 'requirements' and 'deadlines' can do - it brings people to life and is probably the only way hard things get done.

For a certain kind of person, some free time would lead to a lot of exploration but for most people it would not.
Like you, Anders Heljsberg should only put in the same sentence with shit.
> The “mess”, though, is just a natural artifact of longevity. Many years of decisions that made sense in the moment accumulated to appear to be a “what WERE they thinking?” situation when, in fact, they were addressing the market forces and technology constraints of the day.

Sales are driven by what you can do in the here-and-now. If you do that well enough, you can live long enough to accumulate the kind of cruft that is the X86 ISA.

I think Itanium, or the pursuit of making Itanium the replacement for x86, demonstrated these quite well.
I haven't seen any official announcements, and this was the only repo I found that had it enabled. Hopefully it rolls out to a wider audience soon!
The morality of his actions do not apply here. It is the legality of his actions and whether the punishment (asset seizure) is justice.
Show HN: Yet another web hosting service, only cheaper and smarter
A while ago I asked "Can cloud infrastructure become truly automatic?" in this HN post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19080186
I got mixed responses, but I was curious to try the idea.

Imagine you wrote a simple project - NodeJS backend + database + frontend. How much effort and money would it take to get that project online? Many novice programmers like students wouldn't even know where to start.

I created a new platform where you as a developer are not exposed to the underlying infrastructure at all. Instead you just upload your code and the platform does its magic to setup your application to run.

Imagine a platform where you don't have to setup any low level details like servers, load-balancers, or DNS, but you still get fun tools like logs, analytics, metrics, CICD pipeline, and much more out of the box. To top that off, your application gets deployed in multiple servers around the world, so anyone can access your site from anywhere with the same speed.

There is a very early beta version that you can check out right now. Docs here: https://plugins.quadnix.com/docs/introduction.html

Do you have a project that you want to get online? Have feedback / questions? Please reach out.
State of matter that can conduct electricity and energy perfectly
I recently came across this static site generator written in Bash:
https://github.com/hmngwy/jenny

It's kind of cool, but what makes it really nice is that it's going to work on any computer I use, there are no concerns about dependencies, and no concerns about future compatibility. (Obviously not 100%, but I'm not worried in the least.)
I don't see why this needs to be politicized this heavily. The facts are essentially indisputably in the side of climate disaster as likely. This shouldn't be the cause of 'progressives' (although maybe it should be the cause of 'environmentalists' -- even though I'm not sure who the heck should be an 'anti-environmentalist' in right mind), this should be just something we have to do as a species living on the planet. If 'progressives' picked it up and (some) 'conservatives' did not, I think it's an unfortunate failure of conservatives (and science communicators, and society as a whole, etc.).

I support Nuclear Energy too, but I can see it has difficulty gaining traction for a huge list of reasons, and this is across the political, social and economic spectrum. But basically the need for Nuclear is largely obsolete -- it was the only attractive option when Solar (and Wind to an extent) wasn't so cheap. Solar costs about the same or less, is available more or less everywhere, and has no contamination issues.

Also of very worthy note IMO is that the (electrical) energy supply isn't the whole picture. A good chunk of emissions are from transportation sector and some from industrial processes. There is also advocacy in those sectors (which comes off as 'progressive') simply because of consistency and necessity to achieve a reasonable climate plan. Note that nuclear energy, or solar energy, can't solely avoid incoming disasters.
Show HN: Voicenotes Android App
I can't speak for Reddit, but on HN the idea is not to place barriers in front of anyone who wants to join. If we demand that people jump through extra hoops, many will simply bail instead, including many who were inspired to jump in and comment because of something they saw on the site. That sort of spontaneous participation is precious. It keeps things fresh and makes HN more interesting. So although, yes, we incur a lot of costs (and pain) from spammers and trolls by being so open, the good things we gain are worth more.

To pick a couple of famous names, I doubt that Alan Kay or Peter Norvig would have bothered with HN if we'd placed up-front demands on them. Countless experts have shown up here over the years to create accounts and share firsthand about what they know. Here's a recent example that sticks in my mind: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22007115. It's particularly common for project creators or article authors to show up and comment on their work. We don't want to do anything to make that less likely.

HN is fortunate in that we're not under pressure to monetize users, squeeze more engagement out of them, or optimize them in any way. The factors that drive companies into corralling their users and eking information out of them don't apply here. The only thing we need to do is have HN be interesting. An open community, assuming it can be persuaded not to destroy itself, is more likely to be interesting.
Maximizing Income as a Software Engineer
Not just JP Morgan, but plenty of economists and even fund managers and traders know of this threat. Here's another example: https://www.barrons.com/articles/jeremy-grantham-called-the-...

The problem has never been whether most people believe in climate change and its damaging effects. The problem has always been politics.
AFAIK there's no way to join yet, and there's not even any official posts about it (that I can find).
Not sure why you're being downvoted. ISAs like avr, 8051, and msp430 aren't really any crazier than arm. The archs that are a pain aren't because they're 8/16 bit.
This is exactly one of the sub-optimalities and inefficiencies of the world. The good go, the bad stay. It's so sad.
That’s a very simplistic view. There’s also the question of how those numbers will change over time in each system, and how both care and cost will be distributed.

There’s also the political factor: how would we actually enable this? How do you get it passed? How do you ensure the SC doesn’t strike it down? How do you ensure it’s not just rolled back in 4 years when the presidency flips after the inevitable backlash?
> A single pipe can only handle so many providers

A single pipe can handle only so many customers. I don't see how it limits the number of providers?

There actually are countriess with such rules, and they seem to work well. The difficult part is the need to set some uniform price providers must pay for that "last mile" connection to their customer. I seem to remember something like $8/month in Germany. That's actually low enough, it would allow healthy competition even if you set wholesale price 50% higher than neccessary.

The same mechanism is used for competition among power and natural gas companies.
Sellers already pay for insurance/signature/etc. when shipping high value items, this would be just an additional form of insurance that if a seller was going to use they'd roll the cost into the price of the item or shipping fee.
My first thought was "This is stupid" before I got curious (and that surely is the curse of this so-called word!)

Then I found it in my regular word dict files as well as my common password list, and again on this sweater: https://teeshirt21.com/product/i-love-pgnttrp-hoodie-u5UzE

Rainwords shows it as one of 97 English words with 'pg' in the spelling. The only one that comes to mind for me without looking at their list is "stopgap." So I guess I have another if I ever need one for whatever reason.

I think it is really just the FORTRAN connection having been picked up in weird places. I strongly doubt it is English for anything outside of that context.

I think I'm going to get that sweater just to spread the joy. Hopefully it doesn't mean "kick me!"
It's not very clear to me how ""buying out of state" is going to be pretty hard."

I suppose by this you mean that the Californian is going to pay a higher price for out-of-state purchases compared to if they were based outside of California?
Part of the common carrier designation is that you can't sell personally identifiable information you get from users on your network. They definitely weren't doing that before. Subsequently they've sworn up and down that they're not but there's no longer a legal bar from them doing so.
On Android, there is termux terminal emulator, which allows to run native Linux binaries and already has many packages. Arguably there were other ways also before termux existed: GNURoot Debian was an app that ran a minimal Debian chroot in fake root (`proot`), Before that there was KBox. In termux also I run a full Debian chroot using proot. None of this requires root.

Even without that, static binaries could run till some recent version. I have poked with dynamic loading and LD_PRELOAD to set up my own environment which could run most Debian packages using libfakechroot && libfakeroot.

People like to shit on Android. But in terms of power user freedom, apple doesn't even come near.
"GDP growth is not indicative of a higher standard of living. "

Whoa there, GDP is absolutely correlated to the standard of living, this is not contentious. That it's not a direct measure, true, but it's definitely 'a' measure. Moreover, growth or contraction in per-capita GDP in a nation is definitely correlated with increasing/reduced economic prosperity even in 'rich' countries. Yes, many things are 'not measured' particularly leisure, but most things of material value are. The GDP is one of the 'least bad' measures we have.
Sometimes you need the public government to step in and shut down malignant private industries.
It stands for Bookface, which is a forum that Garry Tan created years ago for YC founders. It's a wonderful resource for the YC alumni network, but it's not an alternative to HN. Most YC alums are on both.

What's typical to see on Bookface are founders asking and answering questions about specific challenges, people launching their startups (that part is a bit overlappy with HN, but the discussions are smaller and I would say narrower), people looking to hire or get hired, people asking for intros, posts about apartments and offices for rent, announcements of events...that kind of thing.
Why Are Workers Struggling? Because Labor Law Is Broken
Local loop unbundling still requires regulation forcing the wire to be neutral, so it's really a matter of who neutrality applies to.

Phew. I've pretty much given up subscribing to issues on well-known projects because they so often get swamped by useless posts from people desperate to take their opinions for a walk (I pity the maintainers).

Hopefully this will reduce the issue spam problem.
collectors, I mean analytics.js...

These js files collect the events from web app and sent them to the backend.

You can charge people on these files, but who is gonna pay?

But once the events are in your backend, customers have to pay for getting them out and for storage as well.
IIRC, Bulgaria was among the countries that got "assigned" the low-end of ES EVM that were pushed everywhere, and of course, the low-end machines were much more common than medium/high end produced elsewhere.
Emulation is slow because it is emulating a CISC processor with a RISC processor. You are better off running QEMU on your Mac than on your iPad.

Does to hard drive limitations in space might not be able to run Windows 10 on an iPad or Macbook Pro.
They just need to create an integrated gitter clone now, or maybe buy it from gitlab. Also this step pretty much kills discourse, doesn't it?
> $2.5 million in taxes on company stock he purchased last year that has since withered in value.

but if the stock dropped in value, doesn't the loss in capital offset the taxes? Or has he _already_ paid the taxes, and cannot claw back any losses (since he has to offset those losses on future capital gains from other sources)?
Hold up bro. The only thing you've ever posted on HN - and you posted it a lot - is that you never put a SIM in a phone.
You're right that there are different measures and categories of inflation besides the basket of toilet paper and cat food beloved of economists. In particular the absolute ratios of between those over time are important not the instantaneous rates.

Also what you think is good bad depends strongly on where you fit in. If you're an economist then you think 10% year over year rent inflation is good and 10% year over year wage inflation as bad. If you actually work for a living then you think the reverse.
lovemenot is correct. I do not think drones are evil.
That's not a scenario net neutrality regulation would affect. Larger companies will always have more resources, and with that they will have opportunities to invest in infrastructure and improve service that smaller competitors cannot match. There's a continuum from "choosing a more expensive cloud provider" to CDNs to these edge caches.
Of course, but I'm feeling bold enough to state that the hypothetical Klan-member Discord server would not be beneficial to society.
Ah gotcha. My point still partially stands, since they were free to sell anonymized and aggregated information previously.
Did you notice that in the original article he is running the stock clock speed? If a CPU can't handle any instructions it supports at stock clock and voltage for any period of time it is defective, full stop.
the equity being offered needs to be discounted to make it comparable to the cash salary. If the employee over-values the equity, it is to their own detriment.
I used to live in Renton (by Boeing) and commute into downtown Seattle (5th and Union) and found the light rail in was a good way to deal with it. Over time I found myself using my motorcycle more because I could use the HOV lanes and adjusting my work schedule to get in around 6 and leave by 3:30 (in theory) which went from a guaranteed hour each way to as little as 25min in the morning and about 40 in the afternoon.

Spent a lot of money on REALLY good rain gear and averaged almost 8K mi a year for the four of the five years we were up there. As long as I wasn’t stopped in traffic I felt even more relaxed getting a good motorcycle ride in every morning and being actively zoned out (focused on now instead of life) vs taking the train and being passively zones out with media.

Now that I’m 4mi from my office, come home a few times a week and say hi to the wife at lunch, etc. I will also never go back to anything resembling a commute.
A significant issue was ossification of nomenklatura, essentially oligarchic rent-seeking across management. It was their backlash that stripped Khrushchev of power, as he pushed for reforms that endangered their power (I wouldn't call them "democratic" reforms but they included more power to common man and better feedback loops)
For admin overhead, my understanding is that each insurance firm has its own standard and processing protocols, which brings a huge burden to providers.

The simple solution is having a simple and shared standard enforced by law.
That's called the eskrow process. It's highly complicated, expensive and it requires the 3rd party is verifiable trustworthy because they effectively have all the power.

GitHub is slowly eating the surrounding cities. Github pages replaced our hosted sites. Projects replaced Trello/Waffle and friends. Actions replaced Travis/CircleCI. Sponsors is about to hit Patreon, and now Discussions aims for a piece of StackOverflow pie...

I think they are doing great in terms of performance and UI, it's hard to resist the convenience of having everything linked together in a coherent way. But this will probably backfire in the future :/
It's somewhat unlikely that there are X ISPs times Y "established players" = a few hundred contracts at least, without any of those arrangements leaking, nor anything showing up in network analyses.

Your electric company needs to get with the times. Mine provides a website that lets me break down kwh used on an hourly basis, available 1-2 days after the given day. And I can also step outside and read the current draw from the meter.

So do my water and gas companies.

My ISP provides the total I used in a month, at the end of the month. That's it.

Yes, if you are dealing with large databases, you need to learn about... dealing with the large databases. 5GB is something that a small laptop will do.
I'm sorry can you help me understand how to stop using Join? Some examples or articles on the subject? I can't wrap my head around such a concept.
I clicked on your second link and it took a while to load. Not wanting to seem like I'm putting on a tinfoil hat but what if the ISP's actually throttle the speeds to this specific site.

Nah, they wouldn't do anything like that...
None of that has anything to do with NN.

NN is when you can't get to "Social Media Startup X" because they didn't pay your ISP.

You are unlikely to even notice this, because only newcomers would be required to pay ransom. Blocking existing sites would lead to customer complaints and actual competition.

Single-purpose accounts driving an agenda in a deceptive way aren't necessarily institutional. Normally I wouldn't quibble about definitions, but since I used the word astroturfing above, I want to emphasize that I'm not saying they work for Google. We don't know that, and for HN anti-abuse purposes, it doesn't matter.

Our post office has a shipping discount, where you get 10% off all of your shipments you've sent during the month if you send 1000 packages or more. Once you get near this limit, you get into the perverse situation where it makes sense to send empty packages to nowhere.
One problem with GitHub's version of these features is how they're tied to repos or organizations. My team works on many projects across repos and GitHub orgs and we have to use ZenHub instead of GitHub Projects because of these barriers.

This seems like it'll be great for getting Q&A and random thoughts out of issues, but it won't replace broader boards and lists.
I have over 13k cards and kept up with it for a couple of years. I haven’t reviewed a card in months though. It’s exhausting to keep up!

class is a perfectly valid property in jsx, as it just gets mapped to `{"class": ...}`, however react adopts to use className instead because of the dom api `el.className = ...`, but also some stuff like older versions of IE.

most other jsx-based things like hyperapp accept `class` just fine from what i know

Honestly, it just sounds like your job is too stressful. I work 5 days a week, sometimes more, but nobody bats an eye if I need to go somewhere 2 or 3 hours in the middle of the day. I much prefer this to 4 full time days. 5 days of less stress gives you more availability and more flexibility at the same time. I feel it's what we should really be striving for.
