The link addresses the "If they know you can't get more elsewhere" portion of what you posted, but I didn't respond substantially to the rest. Thanks for the chance to expand.

> "at risk of harm due to a possible societal backlash"

Fear of backlash over paying too little should not be a motivation for compensation. Trying to push it as low as you can without actually sparking dissent, internally or externally, is a cruel game.

I'm into the idea of worker co-ops, so I'm not starting from an assumption that the purpose of a business is to maximize profits for shareholders. Sure, the business might profit less if it pays its employees more, to me a business IS its employees, not a separate entity. If the employees create even more value for the company as a whole, paying them more is a cause for celebration.

If the amount of value you provide increases in a meaningful way, so should your compensation. Instead, on salary we provide unpaid overtime in times of need and enjoy a flat-line of compensation even if we create a new product, invention, or process that massively increases company value.

Bonuses, equity compensation, etc can and are gamed by companies to pay as little as possible without "fear of backlash," like you said. (Cliffs, golden handcuffs, dilution, preferred shares, etc).

Theoretically a salary should be desirable because it de-risks the downside: what if you're put on an under-performing team, or your product launch flops? NBD, because you're on salary, right?

Likely you'll just be fired anyway - you can be fired anytime without cause (in CA anyhow, since we're at-will).

So, salaried positions result in what the OP I was replying to said - "the logical thing to do is to scale back your effort to a point where the amount you get done matches the amount you get paid for".

That DOES seem logical to me. And undesirable. We want people to dial their effort up, right? How do we build compensation and hiring systems that reward people who can add value? As it stands we're leaving a lot of human potential untapped - by design!
It's a historical problem in C. Originally, C had only built-in types. Structs were declared with

struct foo { int x; int y; };

which is easy to parse. Then came typedef. With user-defined types,

foo*bar;

isn't parseable with a LALR(1) parser until you've seen the definition of "foo".
Even the ordinary case

foo bar;

needs more than one lookahead to parse.
This is a headache for compilers, and a huge headache for anything that wants to work on single source files without seeing the included files.

It's a big win if files are parseable without their dependencies. The Pascal/Modula/Ada family all are. I think Go is. Not sure about Rust, but it probably is. C and C++, no.

(The hacks for template syntax in C++ are painful to think about.)
Thunderbolt is built on PCIe, which iPhones don’t use except for the SSD.
I'm not the person you're replying to but my personal issue with a lot of "digital nomadism" in Asia specifically is that it depends on lax enforcement of visa laws. A lot of people working remotely in Asian countries are on three month tourist visas that explicitly prohibit work. Doing endless visa runs and not paying any tax to the host country, in fact not providing any value beyond what you consume, even while taking advantage of tax funded public infrastructure, seems wrong to me. In most of East Asia at least, visas for foreigners are tight in the sense that visas allowing you to live in the country and do whatever work you choose are hard to come by. Most visas for foreigners allow a specific type of work only and prohibit others. I busted my ass to get a three-year visa in Korea that would allow me to be self employed so these people's blind certainty that they are in the right/reliance on western privilege* to avoid being caught bugs me a bit. When challenged they fall back on letter of the law vs spirit of the law prevarication: "so what if I came here on holiday and happened to do some urgent remote work for my company back home, would that be illegal?" Well, you aren't in that situation; you have an apartment and a cellphone number and you're on your third tourist visa in a row.

*by which I mean, less intense scrutiny at the border, which seems to be a privilege of westerners (I am one) in these countries vs. say, south east asians.
In any other world, this would be newsworthy. Even after Donald Trump, this would be newsworthy. But Elon Musk tweeted that we should open the country up in the middle of a pandemic. I've lost all my respect for him. He is, at the end of the day, another figure on Twitter, and one whose actions have very little if any actual effect on most people's lives - right now in particular it seems like the effect he would have on most of my friends and myself would only be negative.

Elon Musk isn't the new Nikola Tesla. He isn't a real-life Iron Man. Elon Musk is the new Jack Parsons[1] and I'm certain time will prove me right.

(( to be totally clear, i appreciate OP for sharing this. i just think it's very weird that the Verge of all agencies is even covering this when an article like this would be much better suited for a financial publication ))

They could always drop XML for YAML and get more issues!

I dislike XML and would not chose it for my projects. But... in this case, it does seem like a good idea to require explicitly closed tags. Seems like it could remove 1000 error potentials for every 1 parser error.
Presumably, the exemption would come with a definition, which not all of us can meet.
The bike-locks are enough, the bike-locks are normally integrated with the bike themselve ( normal bikes), i've noticed a lot of foreign people are suprised by this.

Racing bikes don't need locks, since you stall them at your garage or a private place during the night.

Bike theft is usually common in student cities, were cheap bikes have cheap locks and one "steals" from another. The more expensive ones (> 400 €) are normally not stolen, since they also have more decent locks.

Also, bikes can be engraved ( eg. like a serial number).

Fyi: My bike is parked at a "big" train station at night (in Bruges) and it never got stolen in 2 years.
Not only that, the first time I heard of them was through a Firefox data sharing outcry.
Thanks. I am searching them online. It take some time to find and add a new place but I hope it will worth the effort.
What is Power Editor?
I'll add some more I find useful:

1. Use All lower case. It's impossible to be consistent with any other case (except all upper case). This is important. Git does NOT like case insensitive file systems, and people having two branches with a segment with different case causes problems.

2. Use path segments to group branches. Categories can be versions or a specific team or user e.g. version/v1.0 or topic/desktop/123-add-printing-support or /topic/jimbob/123-add-printing-support Many systems will display these segments in a tree structure so you can quickly navigate all branches of a specific kind e.g. all your ongoing work separate from 20 version maintenance branches.

3. When making branches to cherry pick hotfixes to a different branch, include the new target branch in the branch name to avoid confusion. E.g. topic/123-fix-blank-password-always-accepted and topic/blank-passsword-always-accepted-on-version-v1.0
Wow this is pretty cool! Seems like a great tool to throw onto an existing CMS, allowing clients to retain the flexibility of editing their website directly.

Does this deal with/forward dynamic content on the same domain? Or do admin panels, etc have to be hosted on a separate subdomain?

EDIT: Wow, Miguel is even completely transparent (https://sitesauce.app/open) with his revenue and costs. That's incredibly inspiring to see from an 18 year old.
There is a big supply of used cars coming. Rental agencies are offloading cars because they have storage issues with nobody renting their vehicles. However, lots of the car auctions are closed so that could prevent the prices from coming down.
DNSFilter.com | Linux System Administrator | REMOTE | Full Time | https://www.dnsfilter.com/careers/

We're looking for a Linux System Administrator to help us manage our hundreds of virtual and dedicated servers around the globe, outside traditional cloud hosting providers.

We wish to have improved monitoring, automated processes through ansible which handle updates. We're looking to have consolidated local dev, dev, staging, and production environments using our docker/kubernetes setup.

We need a candidate with DEEP background in networking stack, understanding of DNS, capable of troubleshooting networking issues with traceroute, mtr and ping, and idealy BGP knowledge or experience to work with our hosting providers to troubleshoot issues.

We're seeking a candidate with a sysadmin background, not a development background, and our CI/CD needs are already met with existing staff.
I agree that there is a continuum. I would say it's based on how easy it is to generalize over the state space. Stuff like sorting, cryptography, and consensus algorithms are often quite amenable to clean generalizations (which is often why abstract algebra can be useful in those domains[0]).

There's also another axis which is the strength of the guarantees provided. Most interesting software, whether it is has many or few special cases, has strong guarantees that one is trying to make. Often in order to make stronger guarantees you have to add special case handling, but software which manages to have both strong guarantees and few special cases is the most interesting kind.

But even stuff that is littered with special cases, whether it's query engines, control systems, workflow engines, resource schedulers, or chat applications, I think can benefit from the type of algorithmic thinking which strives to make stronger guarantees with fewer special cases.

Hi all. I'm a 25+ year developer who is looking for my next challenge. I have broad experience
and really enjoy making a difference to a team or company. I love the chance to learn new
things.
Because no one is buying used cars either, and people who can't afford the car they have are selling them. Supply/Demand when there is no demand.
Except the fact you won't need to restart to install updates every other weekend, worry about driver issues, which of the 457 always-on background services is hogging the CPU, why the video/audio output is suddenly stuttering, why it won't come back from sleep sometimes, it runs *nix and has some of the nicest tooling available both in GUI and CLI form.
This has not aged well.

You're almost certainly right. Although: I don't see the tweets as a sort of sociopathic "if I use my bullhorn to influence public behavior there is a .24% chance that this will increase my net worth therefore it's the optimal choice" way.

More like, he really is under a tremendous amount of financial stress, and twitter sometimes tempts him by being a place that will listen, no matter what, good and bad.

That's one of the few things I actually like about twitter. That by the sheer temptation of it, it worms its way past the PR teams and the polished sheen and gives the raw thoughts of people in positions of power.
Show HN: Open-Source Virtual Tour Database
I find there are some concepts used to qualify complexity and data-model fit in information theory and machine learning that can also be used to think about product-market fit or software-domain fit.

I tried to describe them here. I'm not sure I did a good job:

https://medium.com/@b.essiambre/product-market-crossfit-c09b...

The gist:

Low resolution fit: The product vaguely and simply fits its market or domain.

High resolution fit: The product is complex and is tightly tailored to the market or domain.

Overfit: The product is so tightly tailored to some users that it only fits a small part of the market.

Underfit: The product is so generic that it’s missing important features and corner cases.

And then another qualifier 'crossfit' which is a bit harder to grasp, inspired by cross-entropy, that has to do with whether the design language, which can be seen in some ways as 'encoding' the problem, fits the domain or market well.
Apple could just go for AMD, they have a really decent offering these days. Next to zero cost for external vendors as both are functionally equal, only a bit of cost for them to re-design their PCBs...
Breakthrough: New treatment given to 73 Covid-19 patients have been cured
You can also try ChrisFix for when fit hits the shan or general maintenance. It's really simple...
This sucks. I use Automatic to track business miles. Is there a good alternative that's not phone based?
Dropshippers (assuming the product they are shipping is decent quality) are providing a service to the manufacturer - customer acquisition. Sure, it's possible for a consumer to find the vendor on Ali Express or somewhere like that, but most don't want to. They just want to Google $THING and buy it from a website that they've heard of or looks like it specializes in $THING.

This is pretty cool. Would be nice to be able to read the text version of the articles inside of this.
Typescript also orders its parameters this way. Between all the Rust and Typescript vs Java and C++ code I've written, I really haven't found that either is better than other, it just seems like a largely arbitrary choice.

Making parsing easier for the compiler is a convincing benefit, would have been nice to see that mentioned in the article. I think that's a substantially stronger reason to prefer types after names. I'm not sure if I parse either faster or slower though.
People who permanently relocate to a country for retirement or work regularly label themselves as 'ex-pats' if they are westerners.
Why there are 12 stars on the EU flag although it was never 12 countries
No one is saying anyone on the SCOTUS is stupid. In fact, the opposite is the real problem: they are professional legal scholars with a wide knowledge of legal precedent. Applying legal arguments to real life situations often leads to conclusions that people who aren’t judges or lawyers would consider absurd.
Actually, IIe or IIc. That is the question.

He does require it per CC-BY-NC-2.5. I felt it was sufficient to permalink to the version on his domain, but I shall make it more explicit.
No. Free markets are theorized in liberalism, capitalism is just a nice way to says that companies belong to people who bought the tools, not peopl who operate them. You can have a communist liberalism (the "liberal anarchism described by Decoeur is pretty close to that), or (better) something in between like in germany or sweeden and Denmark with 33% of the voting power is given to employees, with an annual prime given to them depending on reversed dividends. Germany have a free market but is not a 100% capitalist country.
This is great news for everyone. I’m a big fan of expanding mobility options, especially if we can take cars off the road, but I’m sick of tripping over scooters.
That’s “Pournelle's iron law of bureaucracy”:

“In any bureaucracy, the people devoted to the benefit of the bureaucracy itself always get in control and those dedicated to the goals the bureaucracy is supposed to accomplish have less and less influence, and sometimes are eliminated entirely.”

Because senators don't want to look into your bedroom and it's obvious. We all know this. A story most people remark with gladness on is that Al Capone was sentenced to 11 years in jail for tax evasion over $215k. AFAIK, there is no minimum amount above which you're eligible for the 5 years. In addition, most states have a sales tax evasion penalty (California can put you in jail for a year). Now, many Americans commit sales tax evasion all the time fairly purposefully when they buy online.

People love the fact that Al Capone was put away, but they don't want to be put away for their miserable $200 unreported either. They give the government the overarching power and then trust it to use it right.

That's what the Senators in your Bedroom argument misses. Everyone knows the senators don't want to look in your bedroom. Everyone knows that the senators want to look in the terrorists' bedroom. The only worry is that some rogue senator will look in your bedroom knowing you're innocent but Americans trust in the rule of law and believe that won't happen. The Senators are on your side. They're the good guys. The Child Pornographers are on the other side. They're the bad guys.

Now, I support E2E encryption. But it's obvious to me why this argument won't convince anyone. The real argument is more subtle and involves the erosion of civil liberties and the deleterious effect that will have on the American Republic. I think enough Americans generally understand this that they will protect it.

Technical solution to resolve Spoofed IP traffic/amplification DDoS attacks
I have been practising something that we might call "continuous rebase", for the lack of better term. It is essentially a combination of feature branches and continuous integration, but instead of making frequent merges from a feature branch into the master it is done in the opposite direction: the feature branch is frequently rebased on top of the master (or, at the very least, the master is merged into the feature branch, if the rebase is too difficult).

This approach has the advantages of both of the other approaches:

* the code is integrated with a great frequency
* any conflicts can be resolved in the feature branch and will not break the master
* the new features are isolated, and there is no need for feature switches
True, but then, lots of programs look good if you only look at benefits and ignore costs.
Ah, C not originally having typedefs explains why the syntax wasn't thrown out as too annoying to begin with. Syntax creep I guess.

An easy solution to the problem would be to do what e.g. Haskell does where case-sensitivity determines a type name. For better or worse, C didn't do that.
I've been using tldr [1] instead of man pages lately to get started with a command (or to remind myself how to use one). I've learned a lot just by reading the examples shown, and then read the man pages if I am missing something.

I discourage people from using path parts, because git actually treats it like a path—and I’ve seen some conflicts with this. Better to just use hyphens as separators and forget that you can use slashes at all.

Totally agree on all lower case.
> the fix for inflation.

Bitcoin is a fix for unpredictable and arbitrary emission. But its finite supply, said to be modeled after Gold's, is questionable.

Gold may have a finite supply, but it's been mined for millenia and has slowly increased its supply rate over time, and will likely continue to do so in our lifetime.

In contrast, Bitcoin's emission which ranges from 2009 through 2140 is heavily tilted to the first few years.

Its final century from 2040 through 2140 accounts for only about 0.5% of emission.

The only point of the halvings is to be able to claim "finite supply". A constant reward would still have the yearly supply inflation rate (stock to flow ratio) going to 0, albeit more slowly. So crucially, supply would still be scarce, would be more predictable (time independent), more fair to late adopters, and be much closer to Gold's emission over our lifetime.

It would also avoid the inherent instability [1] of mining rewards dominated by transaction fees.

If we further consider the fact that coins inevitably get lost, then even a constant reward will yield a softcap of supply, where yearly emission merely serves to balance the yearly losses.

Unfortunately, practically all cryptocurrencies subscribe to the notion that early miners must receive greater rewards, even when they often already enjoy lower difficulty.
