Honestly you're just amplifying my point.

Why is this the case?

Edit - Actually, maybe not. Let me give this a shot - just to do napkin math again.

1 Staphylococcus aureus is ~1um in diameter or ~5e-15 liters in volume. They reproduce let's say once per hour, so if you had a liter of them after an hour you would have (1 / 5e-15) * 2^24 or 3.3e21 reproduction events.

Let's say immunity is transferred at a specific spot in the DNA, first three nucleotides in gene X are flipped to ACT. Spontaneous DNA replication errors happen roughly between every 10e5 and 10e9 replication events.
Staphylococcus aureus has ~2.8M base pairs and we need to set a specific three of them to ACT. My stats are a little rusty but the likelihood of any error happening on the low end is 1:10e5. The likelihood that this error occurs in the right spot while still leaving a viable organism has to be greater than 1:2.8e6 but not 1:1 or you're just spitting out random shit. Let's cut it to 1:1e5. The likelihood that the output of three base pairs being ACT under random chance is 3^4 or 81. All of these together i'm getting ~8e12. So i'm being pretty generous here but the likelihood that you'll get a resistant strain would then be ~1:8e12. With 3.3e21 replication events that gives you almost 2 billion resistant bacteria over 24 hours.

Moving to more reasonable values you start with 10µL of staph, spontaneous replication errors every ten million splits and let's split the chance of the mutation being in the right area to 5e5. You end up with 3.3e16 replication events and roughly 1:4e15 chance of getting a resistant mutation or approximately 20 resistant bacteria after 24 hours.

Still enough to get the party started.

So maybe this case is a little different?
I disagree, for me this is an extension of "the employer has to provide me with the tools to work".

If I need a desk and a room to work and they don't want to make space in their buildings, then they have to pay for me to set it up.

Nobody would bat an eye that a company has to pay for the laptops of their employer.
Depending on the company and employee I suppose, I think you would be giving people the wrong idea to call them a stakeholder at many companies. If a company is suffering from this Founders Syndrome, most people can only hope to see the ship stay afloat, as most people aren't going to be in a position to do anything about it.
Ryzen G series includes integrated graphics.

There also aren't any major bugs for Zen/Zen 2/TR4 on Linux/BSD.

Ironically, the largest stability issue with 1st/2nd gen Ryzen is caused by idling too efficiently. Older power supplies sense this sub-5W idle as being suspended or powered off and throttle their 12V rails, leading to system hangups. An option in BIOS must be set to raise the idle wattage for these PSUs.

The demographic most affected by this, first time and budget builders, were also the least likely to be able to diagnose it, leading to its prevalence in forums. Search for "power supply idle control" to learn more about it.

Another potential bonus for UTC is that generally logs and database entries are in UTC, so when troubleshooting I imagine that could be one click easier if we're already used to thinking in that mode.

It implies intent to tailor something for an audience. Every business in existence (hyperbole) tailors something for their audience. What it doesn't imply is nefarious intent.

We can definitely speculate on whether there was nefarious intent, but the comment along the lines of tailoring something for a specific audience doesn't imply any intent in the tailoring, nefarious or otherwise.
They are not random. They are consecutive numbers in base36.
It's not _specific_ to founders, but just about all cases of it are founders (as I mention elsewhere in the thread, I think Ballmer was probably an example, but he's a bit of a special case).

I'm a front end developer, so NestJS was a blessing for helping me write my API. It gave me a set of rules to follow and amazing utilities to make my life easier, such as exception filters [0]. One thing I admittedly struggle with is knowing when to create a new Nest Module versus a new service in an already existing module, and I do not think Nest provides such guidance on application architecture. However, I believe this is a result of my minimal back end experience, and shouldn't be held against the NestJS project. Overall, I am really enjoying it.

The employer deciding what they're willing to pay employees is eminently reasonable. Most of these companies are NOT going remote first, they're just _allowing_ remote work.
I have a friend who had millions of YouTube views (and eventually a published book) as a teenager for his videos about Lego weaponry.
From what I can tell even with the title it doesn’t matter. I had CTO label and had our companies PMs reporting into me as well. Folks at bigger co’s just don’t seem to care and don’t put value in the experience gained from “leadership” positions in startups.

From what I can tell you can still greatly increase your career velocity as an IC by doing a startup for a few years. It quickly falls away for management roles unless your company hits a big win AND you had a very publicly facing role, in which case the career boost isn’t very needed due to the big win part.
As an introvert, I like going to parties. I get to meet new people and there's usually at least a couple of them who are interesting or hilarious or both. If you're socially anxious, then yeah, it might not be a great experience.

Alex Jones was censored (deplatformed) by all the major platforms, which acted in unison against him. Joe Rogan bringing him on his podcast helped break that veil of censorship.
I thought for sure this article was going to mention Bird or the other scooter companies that followed. But leaving the vehicles on the street was the way to get first 1,000 users for sure. What is the next thing that can be done this way? I've often thought it should be cheap android phones set with a custom build of android that does something very simple. Like display a bright green background and some text like "take me i'm free!" and some way to encourage the taker to charge the device and place it back in circulation.
cross-compiling was necessary when hardware was expensive.

You can rent a Linux box for $10 if you want to compile.
Because you might not be able to program Elixir?

I feel like thats kind of a comparison of apples and oranges.
Nest JS is a framework, Elixir is a programming language.
> The right has always insisted that the elite left controls the culture. But Rogan’s popularity shows that perhaps that’s no longer true.

Is this whole thing just trying to paint joe rogan as alt right again?
You pull (or clone) by doing `git clone $path` where $path can be almost anything you want. A network path over NFS, a ssh path, and more. And if it's not supported, you can add support for more protocols, like IPFS, secure scuttlebutt and many more.
It’s bad in a world where we prefer admiring idols instead of critical thinking. Just see anti-vaccination, or heck how people get so passionate about their JS framework and silo themselves missing the trees for the forest.
Eating out is super expensive, even McDs is what...15 CHF for a meal these days? I actually managed to save a lot of my salary while living in Lausanne because everything was so expensive to buy.

Is this actually a hurdle considering we can access all this content right from the browser? It could just be a container pointing to the content, I don't think it's necessitated that there be native launchers such that they aren't really "on" it.
can you recommend any ways for me (a low-mid developer trying to improve my skills with e.g. tmux & mosh) to get access to the brains of mature/retiring expert level engineers? mostly i'm interested in learning these sorts of productivity patterns.

unfortunately, i don't work closely with any developers. i took a job a couple years ago in order to apprentice under a linux guru, but unfortunately he left the company 2 days before i started. i was fortunate to learn a lot from the remaining team before the company shuttered 8 months later.

The difference for me is that Harris and Ferris don't make as much room for the interviewee, will often talk more than their guests, and their shows in-general focus more on their own guru egos and view points.

Rogan doesn't self-promote on his podcast, and he creates space for his guests to go deep on their specialties.
I was trying to think of a way to organize different sections like "work" and "personal", header web pages is a great idea.
This is kind of what android does with selinux. Every app you install gets assigned a new UID on install. It seems to work quite well. Maybe we need this everywhere?
> What worries me far more than that is the tendency toward funnelling everything through a handful of oligopolist gatekeepers that are in a position to extract a huge share of the value developers create.

I was worried about this too back in the late 90s/early 00s. It certainly seemed to be the way the world was heading at the time.

But I sort of feel like, due to the low startup costs of software, it is going to be much more difficult to happen. Also, in software, economies of scale kinda work in reverse: the more customers you have, the more complex your software has to be, the more people you have to hire to write it, and the less efficient per developer you are.
For scheduling meetings ahead of time, that makes sense.

Do you ever think it would be easier if you all just declared, "we only deal in UTC at this company" and then everyone would just get used to doing their own conversion? Or would that be more trouble?
Nest.js is a great framework, with excellent documentation, but it can be quite heavy weight (from a coding and concepts perspective) and alienating to JavaScript devs without a background in C#/Java.

Its basically Spring/.Net MVC implemented in TypeScript. That makes it a great choice for .Net/Java developers who are transitioning to coding for Node.js, but for anyone without that background, it comes with a steep learning curve (Dependency Injection, Inversion Of Control, Aspect Oriented Programming... all the usual suspects of "enterprise" application development).

I'd say its positioned to become very popular (and you can see its trending strongly upwards on npmtrends.com) because so many enterprises are transitioning towards Node.js. Its like a cozy blanket for ex .Net/Java developers.

I always find it amusing that that Nest.js is a back-end framework, that was inspired by a front-end framework, which was inspired by a back-end framework. (Nest.js -> Angular -> Spring MVC). :-)

Okay, I need to find me a book club like this. That sounds legit amazing. I sort of assumed book clubs were always about novels. On the other hand, I'm not sure how easy it is to find book clubs in Germany ...
Bernie is significantly to the left of Macron. Macron is a pro-business former investment banker who has campaigned on reforming labor unions in France, privatizing entities like SNCF, and deregulation generally.

Macron is also an excellent example of why the notion that American politics is significantly more conservative Thani n Europe is overstated. In the first round, Macron won 24% of the vote. Fillion (center-right), Dupont-Aignan (Gaullist), and Le Pen (far-right) together had 45% of the vote. That is, nearly half the French electorate was to the right of Macron. The same is true in the UK, Ireland, Germany, and the Netherlands. All are headed by staunch neo-liberals, and have been for some time. Boris Johnson just blew out his socialist challenger; Merkel's hand-picked successor is now a leader of one of Germany's right-wing parties.

Sanders' brand of liberalism is antediluvian. The "social-democratic" countries he admires have moved to a model better described as "welfare capitalism." See: https://www.acton.org/publications/transatlantic/2019/01/17/.... The conservative Heritage Foundation consistently ranks Denmark in the top 10 when it comes to economic freedom. While Sanders rails against corporations and calls for sweeping regulations, Denmark, Sweden, etc., have lowered corporate taxes to below U.S. levels and dramatically deregulated their economies. Over the past two decades, while Sanders stood still, almost the whole of Europe became more like America: they privatized state-owned industries, pursued aggressive deregulation, and increased individual choice. For example, while Sanders opposes charter schools, Sweden and Denmark have school vouchers for private schools, just like American Republicans want to do.

As to COVID-19: it has been an eye-opening illustration of how socialized medicine doesn't help a whit when it comes time to dealing with a global pandemic. COVID-19 deaths per day per million peaked in the U.S. at half of what it did in Spain, Italy, and the UK: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/daily-covid-deaths-per-mi....

Since I've been working at home, and so has my partner, we have had a lot more issues in the apartment. We're both on the phone all day, so there's very little chance of having a quiet space in the apartment during the week. We're also forced to split the work-related resources, like we have to organize an equitable time-share on the desk which is better for working, vs the kitchen table which is not as comfortable.

If work from home becomes the norm long term, I can imagine we would need to think about a larger apartment for this reason.

I listened to only the "degraded" sample, and I could understand it on the second listen. English is not my native language and I have pretty severe hearing loss. I suspect the latter makes it easier for me in some situations to decode language with a lot of noise - I have a lot of practice guessing, I suppose. It would be interesting seeing some research on this.
Outsourcing in the first sense, I think your answer is the best one for clarifying why this is different than the whole outsourcing movement was - and why this seems to be working while outsourcing did not.
As for 4), it looks like it was indeed very important for Facebook. Here's a quote from Steven Levy's book "Facebook":

For months, the two companies had been feuding over the way Facebook was scraping data from Hotmail and MSN Messenger products. Facebook had its own complaint—as retaliation, Hotmail had begun labeling invitations to join Facebook as spam. According to The Facebook Effect, Moskovitz said that this caused a 70 percent drop in new users.

Later on when Microsoft buys a stake in Facebook, they stop classifying the invites as spam.
I wonder if instead of completely eliminating software developers/engineers to write the code, what if we had specification writing engineers. Just like tests, the specifications would describe what is needed, and then we'd let the machine figure out a way to make things work given all constraints. Very much like machine learning I guess. Of course, those specs/tests would need to be covering almost every possible scenario, but then when you write code you write the code and rhe tests, so in this case you'd only write the tests, but the code would be figured out by the machine.
Does this all make any sense?

Ask HN: Why isn't there an open format for online whiteboards (Miro and Mural)?
The new remote-first world is all about Miro vs. Mural. The debate annoys me because I don't really want to be wedded to one or the other. Interchangeable file formats would be the obvious solution here, but both companies are using proprietary formats to keep my data in a walled garden. Why haven't we designed an open format for online-whiteboards, like RTF for text editors, or CSV?

Employees have the right to express displeasure, but always makes sense to think if that really helps things or just demotivates everyone.

Sometimes the discontent seems to be more on personal level, eg. founder/owner is not happy with the employee, the employee is not happy with the founder but still stays at the organisation. Often it would just make more sense to leave for another company.

Edit: assuming here with discontent is not constructive criticism but more like general complaining without offering reasonable solutions.
Impressiveness is subjective for all but the most outlandish feats, namely:

- Buying and selling a company at the age of 16

- Replicating a Rembrandt blind-folded OR having your original painting sold at an art auction for value in excess of 6 figures

- Performing Mozart's Fifth Symphony one-handed at the age of 6

- Writing 10000 kanji on a grain of rice

In short, you are looking at this the right way. The application is looking for your most outlandish feat.

Edit: Bulletized list.

There's a difference between censorship and discernment.

Like if some equally famous podcaster didn't find some Joe Rogan guest as "interesting" as Joe Rogan does, it isn't censorship when they don't invite that guest on.

Of course, "Joe Rogan has bad taste" is a different criticism than the one made up thread.

That was never the suggestion - only more wealth redistribution via taxation vs minimum taxes & minimum services. Less inequality != complete equality.

I once got this question on an interview, and they didn’t know I’d heard it before. So I pretended to figure it out during the interview. I gave him a correct answer after just a few minutes, and they cut the interview short and had me directly proceed to the HR office to proceed with onboarding. Two years later I told them how I already knew the question. I’ve been with the company for 6 years now.
A BBC reviewer [1] of his podcast picked up on this as well and called him the "Bruce Springsteen of chat" and said:
