> "We are going to cut your salary in half. You should move to a cheaper city to make up for it."

To think that less than 4 months ago People were ridiculing Andrew Yang and other proponents of UBI. I admit having it be, initially anyway, State sanctioned bothers me a great deal; but the fact is gainful employment is no longer a reliable aspect of modern Life for many in Society. This will continue to cut deeper and deeper, and for anyone not paying attention these protests and riots in the US have a much deeper sense of resentment than just Police Brutality against black males. And it's felt throughout the spectrum of underemployed, highly indebted underclass. Its like the bottled and pent up anger from the Occupy movement coming back.

In many ways this reminds me of the London Riots of 2011, when London police killed a young black male named Mark Duggan [1] and it exposed a myriad of sociological, and socio-economic issues that quite frankly still remain to this day.

I remember back in 2015-2016 seeing Trump supporters get their heads get bashed in by antifa, often women and the elderly. I’ve hated antifa ever since. It’s not a new thing.
Okay, I expected to see such answers on social media and not on Hacker News. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thanks for your thoughtful answer.
It's the it's okay to punch a NAZI that I don't like. I think it's only okay to use violence in self defence or the defence of others. Not as a method of combating an ideology.
Interesting not what I'd expect with a PEO. Any sense on whether JustWorks requirement is because of law or because is best for JustWorks?
Thanks for the insight. Good to know I'm not alone.

It feels orders of magnitude easier to make the internal repo the source of truth when developing and a huge sacrifice to productivity to split something out.

If there was a good solution I think it could really help allowing more open source company sponsored projects to get out there in the wild.
I think... the kind where you assemble a beginning to end view of a request and all the micro services it hits by crawling through log files.
What's the common standard then? Does it ban leaders of countries that oppress homosexuals and other minorities as policy? Leaders who actually imprison political dissenters?

Donald Trump is a bad president IMO, but there are far worse people (and their spokespeople) active on social media. The inconsistent standard makes this seem more like virtue signalling, which isn't quite "giving a shit about the state of the world".

EDIT: Corrected a typo. I think Trump is a bad president.
Ah now that makes sense. Like most management jobs you don't really have as much power as you think you have. You need developers to be on your side otherwise you no going to achieve much with your team fighting you.

"But please seize my business last"?
I gave StitchFix a couple of shots. It was okay, I got a couple decent items out of it, but didn't amaze me.

But I canceled when I very specifically stated in both my profile and my message to the stylist that I did not want any white/tan colored items (I'm fair skinned) or polo shirts (just not my style).

My next order contained a white polo shirt and a tan knit beanie (in the summer!). smdh.

I, too, figured it was just some algorithm dressed up as personal stylists, but knowing that it is actual people just makes it even more unforgivable.

When I was doing some budgeting in London, England several years ago, I found that the monthly rent for a small apartment was similar to the the cost of a desk in the office, so 17k per head sounds about right to me in large urban areas.
Exactly, i had tried to describe this in the linked submission by saying "you can put your vote to follow someone else" and you described that better. The fact that many people come to the same idea independently means that time is ripe for that idea to become reality.
Sorry, you saw women and children being violently assaulted firsthand? I hope you filed a police report.

Antifa is definitely not a new thing, having been around in Europe since the rise of fascism in the first half of the 20th century.
> So there is no 'real' antifa groups.

How do we actually know this?

Or to put it differently, how much do we know about the interconnections of such groups? I'm sure that some are just kids who like the look & dress up with their buddies (no connections). Some seem pretty organised. How do we tell the extent from outside?

I would hope there is effort put into infiltrating and studying such things. But presumably any serious FBI or whatever effort isn't going to be keen to spell out how they know what they know. (IIRC this was part of what broke up the KKK, that and anti-mask laws. Which at its height was also a mix of fairly organised & not at all, although I don't claim the same mix.)
Slamming the brakes on the highway, interstate, autobahn is dangerous for the driver behind you. In some countries (maybe all) it's illegal to to this without an immediate danger. The car may see a sign on the side of the highway as "in your path" simply because the road is curving and the car can't tell that there's a radius and the sign is outside it.

Between RADAR, LIDAR, and cameras I'm sure there's a hardware setup that can adequately resolve the issue but that would be too expensive. Most manufacturers don't pretend their cars are self driving. But one stands out, with Musk insisting the car is fully self driving, safer than a human driver, and ready for prime time except for pesky regulation. It is not and it will not be for a long time. They can probably self drive in less than 1% of driving conditions and even then they won't do it successfully 100% of the time. The only reason the statistics don't look much worse is that most drivers aren't suicidal and will keep saving the situation when the car shows that even driving straight between to painted lines is a challenge for a computer.
I'm not asking you to name the company! Your original comment talked in general terms that could be interpreted as hearsay. Your later comment mentioned "the company" as though we're supposed to know what that refers to. It suggests you worked for a specific company that got burned by Haskell. That makes your point of view significantly more useful!
Does nobody remember the riots in 2015? BLM burning cities down? Stealing the mic from Bernie Sanders (of all people! The man literally marched with MLK) might ring a bell, if you remember that. BLM is very much a violent, radical organization.
Lobbying and advocacy is, besides collective bargaining, a core function of unions. At least in Europe. And yes, these associations, doctors, pharmacists, lawyers, are wielding a lot of power and influence.

As most of these professionals aren't employees, collective bargaining doesn't make a lot of sense. Where they are, in the cade of hospitals, collective bargaining is very much a thing.

EDIT: In western Europe, we all live with things the nions achieved in the later 19th, early 20th century. in Germany, things like paid sick leave, vacation, labour hours, week-ends, etc... are all things union fought for, really hard, to get. As the world changes, which it did back then, employees need to have their say in how things will be handled. Last time, it was through unions. If these unions are up to the tasks regarding digitalization is disputable. But that employees, this time around white collor ones, need their voices to be heard is a given.

I never was in a union as an employee, being white collor made that always a difficult choice. And unions tend to play political and power games. Which I don't like. the alternative so, doesn't seem to be better.

Same; I've been using various note taking approaches over the years, but my "problem" is that I rarely actually have to go back to a note, they are usually only relevant for one task like e.g. writing a blog post or implementing a feature.

So while I'd like to retain my knowledge and research somewhere, at the same time I don't actually use it???

But some writing I've done that will be relevant in the next years is writing ADR's (Architecture Decision Records) in my application about technology and architecture choices I've made, so I can look them up later, use it to train new people, and have a basis to challenge a decision on as well. That's more practical for my personal situation.

But maybe one day I'll be doing something more academic and will need a way to collate research and the like.
3 years probation for whacking 7 people in the head--something that could very easily result in death. A person his age knew this without a doubt.

How he didn't get 7 counts of attempted murder is beyond me.
People confess in interview rooms because they are naive about the criminal justice system and thrown off balance by its sudden collision with their lives.

People testify because they feel greater loyalty to society as a whole than to the defendants.

Neither of those things are going to work against cops.

Audio Ruler – Measure distance between iPhone and earphone
Hi all,

This app measures distance between earphone and iPhone.

https://apps.apple.com/app/id1509013330

I am not the maker of the app explicitly, but I did develop the algorithm behind it. The main problem was that any delay caused by the device disqualified the result as 1 nanosecond delayed made the measurement inaccurate. I spent 2 years and made the scientific paper on my University which began my adventure with measuring Sound Waves.

Just to add - I am not a physicist, but I like challenges.

If there are any people that are sound waves masters reading this - we can make many exciting apps together just DM me.

The next app we will make using the sound algorithms is a thermometer. I already have a proof of concept working. Have a nice day y'all!
It isn't a matter of money; someone could have died. To do that over a historical curio is not responsible.
Who do you attribute the assassinations of police officers to? I guess you could argue that they weren't "organized", but it seems about as organized as right-wing terrorism like the shooting in Charleston (a.k.a. the fascism the anti-fascism is counteracting).
Is it?

What differs between Tesla's autopilot and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autopilot
The downside of submodules is you lose the ability to easily branch across all packages/repos and then just commit.

You could branch the other project but then you have to coordinate this yourself. There is a project called Meta that can help but to me feels like it can quickly get out of control.

Do you find this a problem?
Unfortunately, you seem to be right. The Governor of Minnesota admitted precisely that, stating simply that he didn’t want to believe that his own people could act that way.

Scapegoating allows politicians to avoid angering their own constituents, and it also makes it rhetorically easier for politicians to avoid taking the demands seriously.

And a significant fraction (1/6 to 1/3) of arrests have been from out of state. So, the original claims had an element of truth.

But I disagree with you that it’s just “BS”, which would imply a level of cynicism which may exists, but for which you provided no evidence.
Not that easy, let's say there is a car coming from the side. Will it cross your own trajectory or not?
Show HN: EzInvoice v7 Beta
This is the latest version of my ezInvoice suite of business apps.

https://cherrypc.com/app/web.html

This particular version is configured as an offline only app and it's free. No sign up required, no tracking the user, no internet connection needed, just use it. The goal here is to provide an easy path to our premium services.

The apps are really designed to run on a desktop pc or tablet. It's clunky on a phone but still sort of usable on a bigger one.

And it's really pretty boring stuff. It's business software for small to medium size businesses. So the goal is to keep it simple so you don't have to learn much of anything and you can get your work done with it done fast and easy.

As always, I would love any feedback I can get.

> Preseeding is a beautifully built technology but it isn’t very relevant today

I think preseeding is still relevant with the advent of container / immutable operating systems such as CoreOS, and perhaps Nix too. The technology has changed and overlaps with configuration management tooling, but only handles a small part of a servers lifecycle giving room for a proper cm tool.
To me the most important thing in notes is to find what you want easily. Because of this I think having some sort of online system is needed, otherwise if you have the notes at different places you will in the end give up on it and also tags and search is a huge advantage. But in the end I don't think there are one system that fits all, Zettelkasten might work for some people while others want it another way, this hypothesis is strengthened by the continuous output of new notes software. For this reason I created my own system, fitting _my_ needs. As a coder I chose markdown to also have the functionality to add snippets and search those snippets. The markdown documents stays in a folder type structure to organize the content and be able to use the vs code command cmd+p that I'm very used to. This works for me, https://www.theorylog.com.

>It is fascinating to me how left wing protests seem to frequently degrade into violence. Recent case in point was the reopen protesters. I don’t think a single shot was fired by the crowd, nor were any buildings burned or looted.

thats very interesting. The difference seems to be in initial reactions of the police to peaceful protests. With lockdown protesters, police showed up in soft clothes and didn't initiate violence on the protestors.

Regarding the much more serious issue of police brutality, police responded very violently to the initially peaceful protests. They were the ones that escalated things. Very interesting overall, and I think the obvious answer is that left wing causes seem to offer critiques that are much more incisive and dangerous to the government.
This seems to be mostly a US-ian thing. From europe, it is perfectly acceptable to label yourself as "antifascist", with no ill intent understood by anybody (except fringe right wing extremists). I abhor "cancel culture" and the political correctness bullshit, but I still say proudly that I am antifa.
So good!

I was always wondering who was the idiot that was thinking that providing the simple 'calculator' as a snap was a good idea.

So much resources wasted for nothing.

When I compared with the calculator directly installed:

- direct: open instantly

- snap: takes 4 to 10s to open

The fact that nazis exist doesn't invalidate it. Again you probably know this so I'm not going to bother replying further.

I think the difference is between Microsoft online accounts where you can register an account with them using any email address and Azure AD accounts (e.g. for Office/Microsoft 365). The catch is that you can register for a Microsoft online account using an account that is also in Azure AD - so you end up with two accounts of different types with the same email address as username and (hopefully) different passwords. So hence the question asking which one of your accounts you want to log in with.

Yes, this can be confusing.
It looks nice, although I wonder why you'd treat each line as an independant calculation?

Generally I'd enter an expression, look at the result, then stop. If I wanted to run multiple things I'd use a repl, which would let me copy/paste.

That said it might be useful if you allowed variables to be defined, I updated my own little repl/calculator to allow that recently and found it very useful:

calc> rent = 700.00
700
calc> fee = 92.00
92
calc> ( rent - fee ) * 12
7296

Allowing that makes your multiline input more useful, although I guess you would need to decide if you'd recalculate all lines using a given variable if it's value changed ..
Well, technically the Bureau of Land Management does use threats of violence to enforce it's decisions, but it's a bit unfair to single them out next to much worse offenders like the ATF or CIA.
To extend on inspecting stack traces: I found that I often wanted to know the the content of (relevant) (local) variables of a stack trace. Whenever I got a stacktrace, I would often restart it in a debugger, or add print statements on variables. Until I extended the stacktrace to just include this information. The tricky part is that printing all local variables is too much. And also global variables might be involved. Or attributes (e.g. self.x or so). So now I'm parsing all variables and attributes from the source code line from the traceback (in a very simple way) and print only those. This covers about 95% of all cases - i.e. in 95% of the case, the stack trace contains all information I need to understand and fix the problem.

I published that here:

https://pypi.org/project/better_exchook/
https://github.com/albertz/py_better_exchook

I also often have a SIGUSR1 handler which will print the stacktrace of all threads. This is useful on long running processes, involving multi threading, where you might run into some strange hangs or deadlocks.

In addition to that, if you might get crashes (segfault or so), something like faulthandler is useful.

If you also want to see the C stack trace in addition in such cases, I load libSegFault.so, like here: https://github.com/rwth-i6/returnn/blob/5b8e34ec1fd725d0e20b...

Profiling is another topic. Something like Py-Spy (https://github.com/benfred/py-spy) can be very helpful.

I also found a remote background ZMQ IPython/Jupyter kernel to be useful sometimes. I published that here: https://github.com/albertz/background-zmq-ipython
Antifa is, in practice, a collection of people whose most notable and consistent actions are preventing people that they perceive to be right-wing-radicals, i.e. non-left-wing-radicals, from speaking at universities and other events. Warren Farrell, Ben Shapiro, Janice Fiamengo and Jordan Peterson are not exactly radicals.
In my experience, the difference is - unfortunately - that Jira tickets end up being discarded once a task has been finished, instead of becoming documentation for a feature. I think that was caused by volume, we'd do 10+ tasks or features a week at our most productive, and it quickly became line- or factory work, instead of carefully crafting individual features.
