There are two acceptable reasons that I’ve seen get little inspection:

“Family Reasons” And “Shorter commute” (to some other job)

The commute one I always thought was funny. It seemed to trigger universal empathy.
I wonder if the 6 month "consulting agreement" is 6 months of non-compete. This statement from the article seems to hint that:
"Jim will be serving at Intel for at least another six months it seems, in the role of a consultant, so it might be that long before he lands another spot in the industry."
The ribbon came in MS Office 2007 as a result of user studies that showed that menus weren’t effective in showing the users what was possible or what features were available in an application. That’s why this new UI (“Fluent UI”) was designed for better discoverability. [1]

Once you do something new and different, I suppose it’s natural to copy it over everywhere else (like Windows Explorer).

I thought Mozilla wanted to rewrite their browser in Rust didn't they?
The most classic example is the JWT specification, which says you need to honor the encryption algorithm defined by the token you receive. (JWT includes a "none" algorithm, making token forgery trivial when the parser implements the standard.)

It's known widely enough now that people have chosen to reinterpret the language of the standard in order to claim that their implementations are compliant -- after making the change specifically to bring themselves out of compliance.

(It's possible that it's been so long that the standard itself has been changed to accommodate this. But regardless, the point stands that standards compliance is not a virtue for its own sake. This wasn't a good idea back when everyone agreed that the standard required it, it's not a good idea now, and future bad ideas do not in general become good ideas by virtue of being specified in standards.)
Neither... I suggested the name in a brainstorming session. We wanted to transmit the exhibition was like a Lab and I joined with the “La La La” you would use to warm up your voice, or the onomatopoeia of singing.

We were concerned of the movie association, but this exhibition was initially targeted at Germany so it wouldn’t be as strong as in the US.

Edit: the exhibition IS kid-friendly though... we have lots of families and schools visiting.

Surprised and happy to find a mention to LA LA LAB here ️ We just launched a digital exhibition on AI at www.i-am.ai
Ah yes, the ancient tradition of factory farming :)

I know too many people who fight against climate change, for the green new deal, etc that will happily order the cheese burger at the bar after their meeting. It's weird that people aren't actively participating in the change they are asking society to make. A green future doesn't include easily accessible meat.
While I agree there's a lot of compelling single player games out there (my PS4 backlog is over 20 games at this point, still slowly working through FF7 Remake), they tend not to really scratch the same itch.

A lot of those games are often very story or action driven, and aren't really about successfully navigating a system of interlocking mechanisms like a lot of board games are. There are exceptions out there (XCOM: Enemy Unknown comes to mind, although that was designed by Ananda Gupta, the same guy who designed one of the best thematic strategy board game ever - Twilight Struggle - and he prototyped XCOM as a board game first), but not many.

Logistics video games also seem to work well, like Factorio or any of the Zachtronics games, about making the most efficient system you can to accomplish a goal.

As the article shows, yes.

They are harder to find and can be closed without difficulty, unlike a github repo

I agree with the sentiment of starting with yourself but I do not think any kind of "attack" will be helpful.
Reasoning, maybe, but only in a few cases.

I do not think awareness is the problem. It is part of culture, upbringing etc. which makes it very deeply routed in people. Even if they understand on a intuitive or intellectual level that it is probably bad (see farmers who work with animals and often have deep connections with animals, or my example with the antique slavery, in which I'm pretty sure 98%+ of the people back then would have seen that "they" are somewhat human and beating and enslaving them is not really right (they even had "some" laws protecting them a tiny bit so they clearly "saw" the problem))) people still do things which they in principle find bad.

Changing our approach to animals will need a lot of time. And pressure will only generate backlash. If not in the west, then have a look at China.

At least that is how I see it at the moment.

No scientist expects anyone to trust studies or the institutions producing them. So, that's wrong from the beginning. The expectation of refuting something is just a bit higher than "I don't believe it!", e.g. read the study and show flaws in it - or make a counter study which shows different results. Maybe combine both.

Comparing this to faith where from the start you cannot check anything doesn't make any sense (if you know that something is true or false it isn't faith anymore, that's the point).
I've never seen so many annoying ads on a website, but still an interesting read.

>We are paying for our lack of social safety net now.

While that might be part of the problem, how much of it is self inflicted? Even people who can afford to save, don't. They blow all their money on a lifestyle. ATM I am trying to gently advise a co-worker to really start thinking about saving for his retirement. 50 years old and it's paycheck to paycheck (6 figure salary)for him.

I think it used to be F4 or F6 or something for Explorer. I also used to use F6 in firefox, took some time re-learning Ctrl+L when that changed. (Edit: F6 still works, but it cycles elements (one which is the address bar) so ctrl+l is better)

We're not going to get different results when we form a union in the US unless we make an attempt to get different results.
Yes, it's still cheap compared to a community college, which generally average an yearly tuition of around $4,000 to $5,000 per yeah, and that only for the first two years, after which you have to progress to a 4-year school to finish your degree at more than twice that price.

Wait, what? they're not evicting you they're just going to rent your flat out while you're still in it? How is that even possible?

Did your annual lease end and you were leasing monthly?
In the US, a big part of the anti-union movement's success has been the fact that states retain enough autonomy to rig the rules in pro- or anti-union fashion, while also competing for business that can typically be located anywhere in the CONUS.

As a result, it's a race to the bottom as governors try to pursue business-friendly policies to attract jobs. And on the other "side", to pursue union-friendly policies to attract votes.

Both of which tug decisions to the extremes, the better to win their base, rather than seeking compromise that's acceptable to both parties.

One reason proletarian internationalism remained a hotly debated topic in communist theory for decades.
Well since we now have 10x the memory and 10x the compute we are able to do this.

Also, you don't need no stinkin App Store, zero time for installation. The only next step would be to have everything open source I think these are good tradeoffs. I rather have Freedom than performance and more and more tech users are doing this.
wow, the rockafellar book is fantastic. i can't believe i'd never run into it before. thanks!
I was really impressed by Amsterdam’s transportation system as a whole - roads, bike lanes, light rail. As an American it felt like the city was designed to encourage walking or biking followed by public transport with cars as a last resort.
Not OP but my guess is that a new tenant signed the lease to move in. So, not evicted, but no chance to renew the existing lease.
How to Create Your Own Kubernetes Custom Resources
It would be interesting to see a hybrid approach:

* server side WASM such as cloudflare workers and kv to build and maintain the index

* streaming copy of the simplified index to be pulled in by a browser-side wasm

* queries that go beyond the simple index forwarded to the worker

One way of simplifying would be to limit search terms to a certain length, or only expose the most popular results.

By sharing wasm code the format can be optimized and not require a compatibility layer or serdes.
I think what you're missing is that you can have a lot more threads than cores. A lot more! The practical limit is due to the amount of memory needed for each thread stack.
How to Handle Racists' Statues
Ask HN: Is Python losing its beauty?
Python is sensationally known for its simple and exquisite syntax. But recently it is being bloated, on each version you can see it stuffed with features just for sake of adding a feature.

this assignment operator ":= " which was recently added is a typical example.

Do you think it is necessary to bloat python with too many features?
The Russians are firmly in charge. Try asking some Turks in Russian territory whether they have an equal voice in the country compared to the Russians.

Windows Explorer has been so slow that I actively avoid using it and use the command prompt instead. Even on an SSD, opening a folder sometimes takes several seconds while Explorer scans that folder with a progress bar on the address bar (and does I-don’t-know-what in the background). I see this happening for downloads and many other folders.

I use Keypirinha, Everything, and other tools to get work done.
think the biggest issue with browser apps is proper asset management. what you see most of the times is a huge payload of assets getting loaded at the start. I would like to see some kind of streaming service for assets. specially with textures that would be really neat.
I love asyncio for writing mixed initiative "servers". For instance, I have an asyncio "server" that accepts websocket connections on one side, waits on an AQMP queue, proxies requests and mediates for the HEOS smart speaker API, Phillips Hue, U.S. Weather Service, etc.

This is great for react or vue front end applications which get their state updated when things happen in the outside world (e.g. somebody else starts the music player, that gets related)

When CPU performance is an issue (say generate a weather video from frames) you want to offload that into another process or thread, but it is an easy programming style if correctness matters.
The ever-increasing income disparity in the US was eventually going to become a breakdown (and a class war). It will happen sooner, thanks to this unexpected global health crisis.

Are they really going to throw the guy who stocks their Walmart shelves out on the street? If they do, who will stock the shelves? Who will work the meat factories?

I have come to believe that the ruling elite must on average be low intelligence, or at least incapable of simple reasoning. Personal greed has displaced nearly every other thought. Unfortunately, the stark realization may not occur for another generation; so those who have done the most damage will likely be dead without ever paying a personal cost.

>> "Should people really be entitled to live in an expensive city that they cannot afford?"

They do if you want the people who serve your $5 coffees and $20 meals to be able to live within a reasonable distance. I like to think the people gentrifying them out don't want to push them out, but I'm not sure most of them even realize they're responsible for the huge homeless population. They moved in for the well-paid jobs and pushed the people who lived there out. The pushed out don't always have somewhere to go or a way to get there.
The annual lease ends in August. I'm still struggling with how this all could have happened. They scheduled a showing, and then told me the people looking had already rented the place sight unseen. I've been here for 2.5years BTW.

Django 3 is only async at the view layer. So if you just want to return a static "Hello World" string then you'll be async. But if you do any I/O then it will block.
> In reality, sped stuff up ... That's true for interpreted/dynamic languages, automated memory management/garbage collection, managed runtimes of different sorts, high-level descriptive languages like SQL, etc.

None of that is true.

Even SQL modeling declarative work in the form of queries requires significant tuning all the time.

The rest of the list is egregious.

> things suddenly got a smidgeon faster than static compilers.

No, they did not.
Any chance you have the link to the study? That sounds really interesting. Maybe even worth a post of its own on HN?
Also I'm becoming more and more convinced that we humans are extremely adaptive. With regards to major and minor things as well. People can adapt to eating 6 small meals a day and then swear they would not be able to concentrate after skipping one of them. Others eat one meal a day, exercise fasted and skip entire days of food and report very good mental clarity and love it. Some only eat vegan and with a few supplements live very well. Other eat purely carnivore (exclusively salt, meat and water) and report good results after an initial phase of toilet hell.

Some people never exercise and live to 90 years. Some people are night owls and do their best work at 3 AM and have no concept of a schedule but get stuff done brilliantly. Others have to dogmatically stick to a schedule and a rigid morning and evening routine and swear by waking up at 4:30.

Partially it's their genetics but a huge part is habits and adaptation. Humans can function in the polar circle, in the jungle, on the savanna, in urban hell, in the suburbs, on farms etc.

Any study that wants to test the difference in benefits of different habits would need to allow for the adaptations to take place, the adjacent habits to adjust to the new style etc. You cannot just take one thing in isolation. Maybe I like light color schemes because I do most of my work in the daylight and sleep at night. There can be tons of confounders and doing months long randomized studies is rare.
Even voicing the opinion that Right to Work is a good idea causes the pro-union folks to act like they're going rabid, acting like you're trying to tear down their entire world. Passing a Right to Work law is, in the eyes of many, a flat out attack on unions and an act of union busting.

Neither John Carmack nor Donald Knuth nor Bruce Schneier became famous because of blogging. The only one who became famous for blogging was Joel Spolsky who blogged more as technical manager or entrepreneur then engineer. Joel Spolsky also blogged when light management blogs were rare and would show up high in google search. It was something new back then, it is not something new now.
Great, let me know if you have any suggestions (https://github.com/DamianMehers/WatchGitSupport/issues) - if there is interest I may add pull requests, although TBH I'm not sure how useful they would be on such a small screen - will need to experiment.
This school is not a regionally accredited school, and therefore the vast majority of other schools will not accepted their credit if you decide to transfer somewhere else or use the degree you earned to try & get into a graduate degree program.

It is borderline fraudulent for schools like this to operate without being very clear on the limits of the credits earned and their portability.

I've written Python functions that "call" another function either async or not depending on how the function inspects.

For instance, imagine a "maybe_await" method that just calls sync if is synchronous or otherwise awaits.
Just as a heads up: Assuming this is due to lease being up and the landlord deciding not to allow you to renew, I'm pretty sure the landlord is required to give 30 days notice if you've rented for less than a year, and 60 days notice if you've lived there for more than a year. I'm not a lawyer, but might be worth looking into if they did not follow the proper process.
I really appreciate and enjoy the work done by Project Zero.

But, it often does feel like it could be retitled Project Schadenfreude. This particular post almost feels timed specifically for release right before WWDC.

You don't need to be rude to the parent poster.

They have real experiences of a union in their company. You have examples of unions in your country. Who is correct?

If your answer is yourself, then you're not understanding the point or the concern that people who are against unions have. It doesn't matter if Sweden implemented it well and somewhere else implemented it poorly. Bottom line is that the poorly-implemented scenario can happen, does happen, and in fact happens more often than anecdata of "oh no true union does that".

Unless you can propose a foolproof way that the "wrong way" is always prevented, then you will get opposition to your beliefs. Calling people or things stupid doesn't solve that.

Western Netherlands, or more specifically, the "Randstad" area. People like to complain about train punctuality but really, shit's quite dependable. Trains run regularly and on a fixed schedule, trams in metropolitan areas, buses perpendicular on those trams and in the less-densely-populated areas. Higher education students get free usage of public transport during their studies. I have a driver's license, but I won't be using it often.
I see similarities in most, especially if I take into consideration that one picture could be "age progressed" image.
In many of those cases it's shell extensions installed by other apps that make Explorer slow. I forgot how you can check that, but you can.
Cracked (non-steam) CS 1.6 clients are available for years and I don't think Valve ever cared.
As someone who uses both dark mode and light mode, a major factor is if I'm in a darker area. When I read books on my phone, I prefer dark mode at night and light mode during the day.

To what extent are these studies testing these sub-optimal reading conditions? Are they just testing optimal conditions which could have different results?
The whole model of housing is broken in most countries,including the US. It's interesting that entire economies are willing to subsidise food to make it as available as possible, but the second most important thing in human life-shelter,is completely overlooked. I'm not arguing that everybody should live in large mansions free of charge, however the fact that people who work do struggle to keep roof over their heads either via rent or mortgages is absurd. Also,how society deals with periods of uncertainty,or difficulty. For instance someone takes a mortgage for 30 years period and then ends up having some temporary hiccups on year 5 that can be resolved in a few months ( i.e. unemployment). So instead of saying something like: 'ok, you are having difficult times,which is li ke 1% of the entire period,so you'll simply have to pay this longer', we say: 'tough luck, get out!'.
Ask HN: Career Paths for a CompSci Major?
I've been programming for the past three years and I really like analyzing algorithms and using it to solve problems. However, I don't want to get a conventional developer job at a Tech company. I want to apply my knowledge in a non-tech field. What are the non tech fields where I could I apply my CS knowledge.
I think the trick is making is so that the 1 million they spend to accommodate a union's demands gets them enough benefit (happy, more productive workers, effectively) that it costs less to do that than it does to try to stop the union from being there in the first place.

If the _only_ thing the union does it make life better for the members at the cost of the company, then you have to expect the company to not want the union there.

Do you have a source (heh) to back that? Lots of the networking configuration cvars from 1.6 are still there in CS:GO and do the same thing. Maybe it was cleaned up but I wouldn't be surprised if it's still mostly the same code.
“autoruns” from sysinternals
Switzerland. As an American, I wanted to move there after zipping around the country on their buses and trains.

That was such a good experience, even the tickrt app brought me joy.
I agree that policy could have an effect. But it does not explain all of it.

For example, I do not think that "the wealthy" could make slavery fashionable in a medium, lets say two generations time frame.

This is because we have, at least in most places, accepted on a cultural and moral level that slavery is deeply wrong.

I do realize that you can argue with eg. cases in Bangladesh or children in African cobalt mining, but to bring back slavery in Europe or the US would take a massive cultural shift over generations.
But why not program in Python and take 100% of your bug count?
> One day even blink devs themselves can't change their own code any more because it'll break the content out there otherwise

One day? That's already a problem. There are cases where Blink's behavior is clearly incorrect, but there is great resistance to fixing it, because there's existing content that (accidentally) depends on the broken behavior.
Not really. While there is a growing set of web-based application for Rust, it's not like PHP, where the very purpose of the language is the web. Rust is a system language before it is a web language.

WASM as a target is actually a great indication that it's a system language -- performance is a primary consideration.
This is a flippant useless negative comment on someone's cool effort. Looking at your other comments, and at your blog - everything is negative. "This sucks, this is crap, I would never use this". What's with all the negativity? Just give creating comments and posts about stuff you like a try. The internet is not short of critics to make useless negative comments.
