Sympathies, can relate. If you're not married, you might do what I did, which was to convince a poor single mom to take me in. Worked out surprisingly well for us.

Beyond that, if that shotgun ever starts looking too good, drinking worked for me. Yeah, not great long-term, but definitely helped me "flatten the curve".

Godspeed.

Ask HN: How would you create a 99.9999% SLA static site?
Imagine a company makes you an offer, they give you $250k for building and keeping a site with static content, let's say 1MB of static content (images, css, and plain html, no js, nothing fancy just your late-90s average website) with a 99.9999% SLA (max 2 seconds downtime monthly).

You have 2 weeks, and you will keep remaining balance after building the site.

The site will have unpredictable but reasonable traffic, let's say maximum 3k concurrent users in peak hours.

The site could be a target for script kiddies so no big DDoS attacks are expected although some little ones could.

What would you do to maximize your chances of walking off with a big chunk of cash?
It's my understanding that, if commissions are free (e.g. Robinhood) then on average, any trading strategy is going to perform comparable to the market average.

If you can find any reliably bad strategy (in a fee-less market), then you have necessarily found an outperforming strategy that is the opposite.
Perhaps I should have added the qualifier "successful."

What actually happened was that laissez-faire capitalism (which was the dominant form of capitalism in the 19th century) ended up yielding to essentially social democracy, whereby the state becomes a check on capitalist control of the working classes and provides guarantees and surety to the working classes. I'd argue that the modern social democratic variant of capitalism would be foreign enough from the laissez-faire capitalism of Marx's era that he wouldn't consider it capitalism.
This does seem like a dangerous side-path unrelated to the Deno project's needs.

From the description, it doesn't sound like Deno needs the type information for V8 optimizations (I thought they had explored that, but I don't recall, and the description here is unclear), so maybe switching to more of a two pass system of a simple as possible "type stripper" (like Babel's perhaps?) and leave tsc compilation for type checking as a separate background process. Maybe behind some sort of "production mode" flag so that type errors stop debug runs but in production assume you can strip types without waiting for a full compile?

Maybe even writing a type stripper in Rust isn't a bad idea, but definitely trying to capture all of tsc's functionality in Rust seems like a fool's errand.

Another difference is that with The Conversation, when I scroll to the bottom, I get a dialog that says, "Get The Conversation’s newsletter to understand the news" and "Subscribe now". Popular Science doesn't seem to have a dialog like that.

You can hoist useReducer out to context and end up with essentially a very lightweight redux. I’ve had some success with that in smaller apps. For something large or long term I’d probably avoid that approach though.

https://flexi.chat, a videoconferencing app where you can have a schedule and flexible speaking formats.

For example, you can have everyone in the meeting speak one after the other (the app handles muting and un-muting the right people), then repeatedly shuffle people into pairs so that everyone gets to talk 1-on-1 with everyone else. Or have a “speed-dating” style format for the first 20 minutes of your remote meetup, before bringing everyone back to the main room for the main speakers.

Barely ready to open it up yet, using it to host daily "standups" with my friends, but going to have a few friend gatherings with it later, and maybe a local meetup. The friend gathering will have the first schedule I mentioned above; have everyone speak in a circle to catch up the group on what they've been doing, then split the group into pairs (shuffling the pairs). The meetup will have the "speed-dating" + switch to main talks.

Uses Jitsi for the hard video webRTC stuff, and then nextjs with socketio for my application.

Getting back into React and ES6, and all the amazing new CSS stuff of the last 5 years!

Eventually I want to split it off so that the logic can be in its own package, to make it easy to integrate different speaking formats into different, existing apps.
The Apple II has a single register that toggles the voltage to a speaker, allowing 100% CPU-driven construction of any square wave you want. I think other systems did something similar on cassette ports. That's an example of the power available to an 8-bit class CPU without any extra hardware - you can do a lot with PWM and high-frequency attenuation and such but definitely limited.
So, will we need to have 4GB of ram to run Javascripts now? :)

Won't take you long to adjust at all as they're very similar and the apps are more lightweight and faster than Adobe's products have ever been. Also iPad versions if you want to edit on a tablet.

Been using Affinity Photo for a while now as an alternative to Photoshop and wouldn't look back.
not to mention that this particular prediction doesn't even need any sort of quantitative or scientific methods. The idea of cyclical politics and periodic decay is as old as ancient Greece, comes up in virtually any religion, and you don't need a TI 84 to arrive at the conclusion that roughly every few decades something awful is going to happen.

I've been working with React since 2014 and I've never had a good experience with an app that relied entirely on component state. To each their own, perhaps you've discovered something I haven't.

For me, Redux works very well with how I think about control flow. That said, my brain has been ruined by a youth misspent in fp land, so my preferences should be taken with a liberal application of salt.
And you'll not be paying your real local income tax, which is quite illegal.
>The cheapest Model 3 price is within the ASP of the average US car, and it is good value.

The average, sure. But nowhere near the median. Average prices in the US are heavily weighted by pickups and luxury sales. The median for new buyers is somewhere around $25k [0]. The cheapest Model 3 you can actually buy is still ~$40k without incentives. That's an $800 car payment - firmly in luxury territory. It won't be until the average joe can buy a 60kWh electric car for a $200 payment with a couple thousand down that EVs will go mainstream. At $80/kWh there's no reason Tesla couldn't do this right now.

Would you rather have say, Google’s style of replying on issues with deafening silence? I see your point though. I think it’s better this way. A company can be helpful or shoot themselves in the foot while they figure out to communicate. Too much salesy self-serving talk means they don’t take you seriously so why should you return the favor? Now you can find out easily.

1) possibility of a miscount & time it takes to count all those bills

Same thing happens with ICE vehicles. Engine swaps are common on models where the engine outlasts the body- e.g. snowy states where cars rust out, and dirt bikes where the bike is often totaled in a crash long before it wears out and then parted out as spares for racers who blow engines.
Well, can someone explain how does a company with no product and no market get affected by the pandemic? Seems like a cop out yet again.

On other forums it seems like it splits into two group. One group says that it depends on the team and that they love their current team. And the other group is how working for Cruise is the worst decision they've made in their life.

My curiosity is with, how does a company totally change their culture and do a complete 180%? From having workers completely hating their current company to completely not seeing themselves in moving to a different company. As some companies used to have employees mentioning it is the worst tech company in the bay area to one of the best in the bay area
I have the same problem with Verizon (except I am no longer a customer with them). I've even gone to a Verizon store and asked the manager about it (sometime in 2017). They did not have any procedures in place for this and I still receive emails about someone else's cellphone bill.
So if I understand right:
Hyperdrive (formerly Dat) is the "p2p platform" and beaker a client which uses hyperdrive to publish and browse archives and websites?

actually, on average, all strategies will perform the same as the market.

another way of saying this is: the average of all trading strategies is the market.
Remember (approx. 6 months ago) when we were seriously, unironically worried that all menial labor jobs would be taken by AI?

Now we're worried about all the AI jobs disappearing.
If I remember correctly trying to fix this is what killed Digg. A high percentage of their content were the same power users rushing to post content from the same well liked sites. They tried to do away with it by just dumping the sites RSS feeds into their site. Everyone fled and because Reddit didn't make those changes it became where they fled too.
Yes we are continuously exploring and research this. The mount support is our first stepping stone towards this. See the union mounts section of the post
Also keep in mind that as far as performance of dynamic languages goes, all of the P* languages (Perl, Python, PHP, and... Ruby ;)) have been left in the dust by the front-runners (eg Node.js or LuaJIT). Perl used to be king a long time ago, eventually, PHP took pole position, and maybe now it's Ruby's time to shine. But being leader of that particular pack could mean you're nevertheless still 'slow' depending on context.

You don't need any of that if you just use React. All you need is `setState()`. All of those extra things you are thinking about are part of Redux, not React. I love Redux, but even just pure React is a huge improvement over UIKit.

UIKit kind of reminds me of Backbone.js - it has some infrastructure but its up to you to build a lot of the tools yourself. You might prefer that personally, but I think the movement of the frontend community from Backbone to React shows that most developers prefer a more full feature solution.
Kelly controller is a pretty reputable brand.

For example, here is a reseller [0] that sells a 72V 120A (8640W peak, 4320W continuous) three phase pure sine wave motor controller for 126$, with warranties, logistics (plus shipping). I'm fairly certain that you could get a similar, or even lower price for only two phases and a fixed frequency at the same wattage. If you really want to use them as inverters though, they are programmable so you could set a fixed frequency, though I don't recommend it. I've heard of people running some other models at 120V, but I really don't recommend it :)

In any case, I think this shows that a 4320W inverter can be built and sold profitably for a lot less than 200$, if a 4320W+ three phase multi-frequency programmable inverter can be.

I should that 4320W is with passive cooling. With active cooling (from sticking a fan in the box to water cooling) you can get away with >12kW continuously.

I haven't worked with Rails for quite a few years - how does it stack up these days vs Django?
I'm not here to make a case one way or the other, but I would point out the graph at the top of the page numbered 775.

Most of the reported difference in net performance is due to the impact of commissions and spreads: As trading goes up, gross return was not impacted, but net return was.

Retail investors in 2000 were getting fleeced. (And if you think that's bad, take a look at commissions in 1980.)

> Your employer cannot arbitrarily reduce your salary. The reduction has to be agreed upon by the employee or the employer has to terminate employment and rehire to reduce salary.

There might be state regulations to this effect -- and IANAL -- but there's no such federal law in the US. An employer can cut an employee's pay at any point to any value above the minimum wage, as long as they inform the employee their pay has been cut.
Do archaeologists use the term 'footprint' differently than we use it colloquially, or is the title just wrong?

To me a footprint isn't shaped like my foot. It's something that my foot fits into.
It's realistic and not cynical at all. Just the way life really is.

Try this thought experiment: The local mafia needs to eat, sleep, buy cars, equipment. Should local restaurants, grocery stores, rental complexes, dealerships, the local Home Depot, accept their patronage? Is that dirty money or clean money? Is Home Depot morally corrupt for selling lumber to the mafia boss for his new deck?

The answer to these and more is: no. Moral policing never works. We have laws and law enforcement to pursue criminals. It's their job, not Home Depot's.

there is a lower bound, but it's closer to 60, and those need to be picked carefully to avoid excess correlation. at that point, you might as well buy an index fund since you're unlikely to beat the market anyway.
But we already pay people differently based on geography...

If you are a software engineer and you show up to work in an office in Alabama, you already make less than the same software engineer showing up to work in an office in Manhattan — even if you are doing the same work for the same number of hours. This is already happening today.

The only difference with remote work is that you don't show up to work in an office, you show up to work in your pajamas and the office is at home.

Currently Beaker only has Web APIs for Hyperdrive, but we're going to add Hypercore APIs

Hypercore is lower-level - it's basically an append-only log. There have been some projects that use it directly such as Kappa-core [1]. You might want it particularly for CRDT work, but generally I think you can use the filesystem to do pretty much anything, and that has the benefit of a regular data-form that can be explored using the terminal and files explorer and browser and etc.

Somewhat. Allsides has a whole system[1] as to how they assign bias which is fairly robust, in my opinion. You're not betting on what the moderator at allsides think a source bias is, you're betting on what all of the patrons at allsides think the source bias is which is a little better.

But you are right in that no one can "objectively" measure partisanship since there is no such thing.

Share-Your-Shame
Recently at work I started posting my mistakes to our slack instance with a channel tag of #share-your-shame.

(ie: just spent 30 minutes pulling my hair out only to realize I had a missing semicolon.)

I think it's helpful for a team to realize that we all still struggle with things from time to time. It helps fight the sense of impostor syndrome when both new and old developers can comfortably share their blunders with each other. And also shines a light on some of the things that can make building estimates or hitting deadlines difficult.

Curious of other hackers thoughts on this practice and if anyone has any recent mistakes you would like to #share-your-shame on?
