I started coding at 22 years old out of college and am now 58. I've resisted the pressures of becoming a manager my entire career and have had no regrets. Recently I turned down yet another manager role for all the reasons you gave and couldn't have been happier. Management at my place understands my career plans and have been accommodating. I plan on retiring in 10 years but know a lot can change between now and then so if my current job becomes unbearable, I'll leave and take on freelance coding projects. I will never become a manager.
More than likely doxxing is against the rules here but her first name is Skai and shares a last name with a famous singer. Not hard to find.
It's expensive to make good bread. Not in terms of raw materials, but in terms of labor. A machine cannot make a quality loaf of bread, you must gently knead it and let it ride with human hands. There is also a large cost in the right-on-time delivery of "good" bread. There is still quality bread sold at my grocery store, but that kind of bread isn't a staple because people don't want to go to the grocery store every other day when their non-stabilized bread gets eaten, goes stale, or goes moldy.

I am defending "bad" bread because no one ever does, and it's really not comparable to "real" bread because the uses are different. It's cheaper, last much longer, and is better suited for sandwiches and toast because of the square shape.
Can we talk about client-side certificates?
America has oscillated between optimizing for individual vs. collective for its entire history. You can see heights of last collective-oriented generation around WW2 but similar eras followed the civil war and revolution.
i actually think i'd reverse the cause and effect here: your 2nd sentence, i suspect, is driving the lack of effort, not what you said in your first sentence.

personally i think that super easily accessible pornography (immediate, on-demand insane dopamine bath, infinite novelty, super attractive partners, infinite variety, no potential for rejection, no need to worry about the other person, free, .....) and masturbation probably lead to most men to not even bother. worse, once you're on that cycle your brain gets tolerant so you go seeking more and more intensity and novelty (fetishes, etc.) that gets further and further away from "normal" romantic/sexual interactions that you probably think it'd be a waste of time even trying.
It feels like 15 years ago, complete with random lag. :)
The PC Engine / TurboGrafx-16 (A thread)
I've thought about this many many times. I think the fact that I was a single kid and that I was bored out of my mind during these summers at my grand parents have forced me to read a lot, have forced me to draw, have forced me to play music, have forced me to print and read articles for months to learn how to make a website with PHP, and so on.

I'm also thinking about this guy who had most of his mathematical breakthroughs in prison and then recommended that any serious researcher should spend some time in jail.

I'm also thinking of these reddit threads of people who end up in jail and spend all of their times reading. https://www.reddit.com/r/books/comments/8fzc6u/just_spent_fo...

Back a few years ago, I would sometimes go to this hotel ramen shop after work. It was always empty so it was easy for me to just sit for hours after eating my ramen to read articles that I had bookmarked. The killer: it didn't have a WiFi, and at the time tethering was forbidden by my provider.

At the start of 2020 I bought a smart plug, so that it would switch off my internet after 9PM, but I haven't used it...

I don't think boredom should stop once in adulthood, but it does stop because work gives us so little time off to mess around and be disconnected.
Reset my password after a long time lurking just to say: the BBC radio plays of Jeeves & Wooster, with Richard Briers playing the role of Bertie Wooster, are the best way to experience these stories. Fabulous acting. Far, far better than the Hugh & Laurie series from the 90s.

The heavily adapted BBC TV series Blandings is also hilarious.
is this to be expected when sharing on HN? https://imgur.com/a/CC8qt3a
+1 for Ubik. It's really the quintessential example of his reality bending core theme. Everytime you think you've got a handle on what's happening, he pulls the rug out from under you, all the way to the end. Some of his other books try to do the same thing, but tie things up too nicely (like Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said).
Fellow C720 owner here. Love the thing, have had it running Elementary on a new SSD for ages now. Have recently switched to a E111 (despite only 32GB EMMC) because I got it to take 8GB RAM: https://taoofmac.com/space/com/Acer/Aspire%20ES1-111M, but otherwise the experience is still largely the same: extremely lightweight, quiet, "disposable" laptop tha I can use to code anything, browse anything, fiddle with the electronics (this one has pads for a SATA connector... haven't traced the electronics yet to see if they are there at all...)
> Honestly, it's impossible to know at this point.

What is possible to know is that she knew damned well that any statement like that would be repeated 10 times more than any later, retraction of those statements.

> Police chief Carmen Best walked back prior statements made by her own department, which have since circulated widely and attracted condemnation from conservative critics of the protesters.

Those same critics have almost certainly not retracted their comments based on her statements. She clearly understands how to effectively feed her biggest fans.
Top Smartest Dog Breeds That Are Truly Smart
Bougie malcontents LARPing as revolutionaries and moving from industry to industry like a swarm of locusts has been going on since at least the '90s, it's just now their ability to be noticed is greater due to advances in communications platforms.
"Meanwhile, the Raspberry Pi 3 ..."

The Raspberry PI foundation essentially is a branch of Broadcom, a chipmaker with $20 billion revenue in 2018. Pine64 had to crowfund their first boards 5 years ago while Broadcom already had been a chip vendor for the US military. They are not even comparable.

Moreover, I wouldn't take the Pi Foundation as an example after what they did with the Zero, which was sold for years in extremely low quantities at cost, or bundled with unnecessary stuff, just so that word of mouth of that price would prevent people from purchasing boards from competitors.
MongoDB was called out because of its ease of use.
You can create replica sets and shards in seconds. And for many use cases it works great.

Cassandra is one of if not the best since it's multi-master but it's a little bit more complex to setup.
I didn’t mean to disagree with you, I just wanted to put my take on it out there
Or, in other words, "Not Our Universe".
47 here, coding professionally since I was 24. No management, and no plans for it.

While ageism exists in some places, I don't find it to be an industry wide problem.

At the end of the day programming is just coding the correct if/else and working with other programs, and the OS. (Which is really just a program too)

Personally I love it. Building and extending these machines. Learning new ways of doing things, coding for new platforms.
Then everything is ok? Young guys without partners can simply wait till they are older. Assuming bigger age gap in relationship remains as normalized, their time will come.
"FWIW, I've tried dark mode and have to enlarge font sizes to read stuff compared to using very dim setting on my screens and light mode."

I think the article mentions this indirectly, but then attributes it. Your pupils are going to adjust to the amount of light entering them a lot (most?). This means like a camera, a smaller hole will be less sensitive to focal problems.

So, unless you perfectly compensated for the amount of light coming from your display its likely the brighter backgrounds were dumping more light, reducing your pupils and making things clearer.
Do these services just support 1 or 2 sims? I can think of a few hacky projects to use these for. I think T-Mobile was going to start offering NB-IOT starting at $5 but I don't know how many minimum units or other stipulations they have.
Algorithms is also an elective class at Berkeley
Agreed. The blog post even mentions numpy, meinheld and uwsgi as examples of native code performant libraries. The async equivalent is uvloop.
Great launch! This looks similar to www.raaft.io which has been around for a couple of years and supports Recurly in addition to Stripe. How do you differentiate?

I think we would have used something like this (instead of rolling our own) if it integrated with Chargify.
How does this compare to minio ?
I actually love this trend. Overpopulation is a disease. Hopefully more countries follow this.
I didn't get what's wrong with H.264 since it present in every pi even on pi zero.
I mean no one even mentioned node. Maybe it is faster idk. But we're talking about python?
There is a lot going on here that is great, but there is one piece that is a little tough to chew.

> Basically, if the conservative wing gets their way, two things will happen: Executive agencies will lose their ability to create regulations, and independent agencies will cease to exist.

It is not helpful to frame this as a left/right struggle. By not helpful, I mean it is not a useful mental model for predicting outcomes. It will also tend to alienate natural allies that come from a different political stripe on other issues.

For example, it was Justice Scalia who wrote the Chevron opinion [1]. Chevron basically says "an agency is granted enormous deference when it interprets the meaning of statutes that grant it authority." In other words, a noted conservative ceded tremendous authority from the judiciary to the executive agencies. The left/right mental model would not have predicted that outcome.

I find that a more useful mental model is, "what do business interests want, and to which industry has the political actor pledged his/her loyalty?" It is important to take into account conflict among the varied business interests. See, e.g. [2]

> [I]nstead, they'll just take already written legislation directly from lobbyists, and it won't be subject to the usual rules around public comment and notice

If you think the notice and comment process is less broken than Congress, I would encourage you to take a look at the comments from the Fed/SEC/CFTC Dodd-Frank rule-making. Rule-making is where Dodd-Frank died.

Hi there, Matt Jackson from Twilio here. I’m the Product Manager for Super SIM. Glad you're familiar with Programmable Wireless, our other cellular connectivity offering!

The “starts at” that we have on our pricing page is for the cheapest priced networks we have in each country. For example, in the UK we have a number of networks that are $0.10 per MB but if you want to use EE it’s $0.20 per MB. With our Network Access Profiles, you can pick exactly which networks you want your Super SIMs to be able to connect to. If EE is the only network that services your area or works best with your hardware and is worth premium to use, you can enable it for your Super SIMs.

For now, we just have a pay-as-you-go pricing plan for Super SIM whereas Programmable Wireless has a number of different quota plans that let you commit to a minimum monthly spend per SIM in exchange for discounts as a way for you to self service into lower data costs for hungrier devices. Our pay-as-you-go prices are meant to just get you started. We don’t expect any of our developers to scale up their IoT business at these list prices. Once you’re up and running, you can connect with one of our IoT sales specialists to discuss volume discounts. Promise they don’t bite!
I run VS Code in a container on an SBC with no complaints.
The additives are there for a reason. More bread with more additives is sold because people prefer that type of bread, whether for convenience, price, or they simply prefer the flavor and texture.
You are lucky to be living in Sweden then. My experience from other EU countries is that unions are leeches that once in a while defend "high-ranking" union members that did something bad from being fired. (although admittedly it is not nearly as bad as what GP described)
So "Covid Bail Out NYC" used Paypal and Venmo (presumably only their respective p2p transfer options, not their organization/business options) to collect funds.

And they're complaining that Paypal or Venmo isn't willing to disable automated fraud protections for a payment method thats only meant to be for individual to individual transfers?
Encoding is probably more important. Without acceleration from a hardware codec, decoding modern videos is CPU intensive.
Being around big tech companies for years, for an explanation of what's going on it's easy to guess that maybe at Intel there is a status quo in practice solidly in charge that, in particular, believes that Moore's law is sick if not yet actually dead and, thus, wants to stretch out how much longer Intel can get good revenue with a sick or dead Moore's law.

Then for Keller and Intel, here is a possibility: Have the status quo at Intel bring in Keller and then ignore him so that (i) being at Intel he won't be doing things at a competitor that hurts Intel and its status quo, (ii) being ignored he won't be able to change the status quo at Intel, and (iii) being at Intel and ignored his career will stagnate so that in the future he will be no more threat to the Intel status quo.

That is, maybe the Intel status quo competes with people down the hall -- not the first case of that -- by ignoring them and for a chip architect competes with him by bringing him into Intel so that they can ignore him.

Broadly a new direction for him might be to quit being an employee, e.g., fighting the politics of the status quo, and start being an employer as a CEO of his own startup.

Quite broadly in the US, one of the keys to progress is to have lots of startups to get around whatever organizational dysfunction exists in older companies.

One of the reasons for this situation is the propensity of BoD members to be conservative, that is, risk adverse, to pay attention to the definite and well known bird in the hand, even if it is getting sick, and ignore the not well known and risky birds in the bush. In particular, such a BoD wants a CEO who just does a good job managing the existing business. Typically a BoD won't fire a CEO for failing to get new products into new markets but might fire a CEO who spends $100 million pursuing something new that fails. So, lots of CEOs just stay with the bird in the hand.
Any plans to test any other NoSQL databases? I'm interested in MarkLogic
It’s definitely possible, but you’ll find yourself swimming against expectations more and more each year. Org culture and your own tolerance will be the deciding factors.

Personally I had to take a govt contractor job recently as I’m unemployable at lumbersexual shops.
In my experience, linux is (unfortunately) only good for running server apps. Ubuntu is good but it's still like 20ys in the past when compared to macos (and that's including how macos gets worse with every new release). There are so many things wrong or half-finished, inconsistent (3 ways to copy/paste, no native GUI fw/toolkit, vsync/video/browser tearing), I'm afraid to install updates because sometimes it won't boot up and I'll need to figure out what went wrong this time (instead of doing what I wanted). Linux ppl like to say it's because of HW but no, it's because they don't care or they have different goals but then I don't understand why the same people often don't understand why linux is not more widespread.

If you want to get job done, get a mac, it's still the best choice (unfortunately, I don't like it but it's the least evil - W7 was good too but W10 spy/adware is ew)
I'm not entirely sure I agree with the "stalling" portion of the title for this article. Vice could argue that they're slow to react, but transfer limits have been a thing for these kinds of apps forever, including CashApp which doesn't seem to be mentioned here.
Don't know, but there do seem to be philosophers that have trouble dining.
Absolutely! Software is a huge multiplication factor. No argument there!

However the point, which maybe I didn’t make clearly, is this: they expect a specific multiplication factor from a specific bit of code. This is the value X they hope to achieve by employing you. If you can do X in less time/lower overall cost then someone else, then that is worth paying more for. However, that X benefit they are seeking is relatively fixed. As a consequence your value is fixed.

With management, there is much more variation.

A bad manager will make a team of 5 produce the value of a team of 3. A great manager can take that same team and get a value of 8. This scales with how many people you manage/lead. Assume management makes a 10% difference to output capability. If you are leading/managing 100 people, the delta value is 10 whole people paychecks.

To bring this home: think how productive you were under a “bad” manager vs a “good” manager. Whatever delta was there, you can multiple it by your normal team size. That is the “value” a good manager unlocks.
Big Tech's latest apologies won't change much
> I’m thankful someone so impartial brings this up during the very important “Agree with scientific consensus on climate change == agree with pedophillia” debate.

I mean, his point was fallacious in more than one ways, but we should always debate against the strongest possible interpretation of the other side's argument. Straw men are so easy to knock down that there isn't even much value in doing so.
I use regular threads in Python3 even for I/O and network requests, just because they are what I am familiar with and I haven't yet found a compelling reason to port projects over that are working fine with the standard thread model (granted, I don't produce that many threads at a time). I haven't noticed any performance hits with the GIL or my shared resource locks, but I'm pretty careful about my concurrent programming.

Perhaps someone here can explain what the asyncio paradigm does for you beyond "ease of use" when it doesn't get you past the single processor / GIL issue. In what environments are the "os threads" created by the Python engine actually that expensive? I suppose if you are just starting out it may be easier to grok, but then it won't transfer as well to other programming environments besides perhaps NodeJS.
I've lived in Capitol Hill for 9 years. I've been attacked twice by crazy people. One time it was a physical attack, the other time it was a man singling me and my family out and approaching within a few feet while screaming very aggressively (my family was visiting me at the time).

I'm a large man. It's worse for people who are not physically imposing. A woman I knew worked an early shift job (leave at 3:45am to open up). She was regularly followed and harassed while walking to work sometimes by gangs of men, she left the city in less than a year.

These problems are getting worse because there's literally hundreds of thousands of citizens (you can see them in this comment chain) who will rush to disagree with anyone who raises these problems. I'm well-equipped to buy a house here, but we decided several days ago to stop looking for one. We decided we're going to leave the Puget Sound area to get away from this.
what you said is written above.

>>Animals are way more likely to fight over food and such. Sex, not all that much and they have not that much reason to fight over that.

Everything boils down to sex, pass down those genes and insure that your offspring make it.
TIL Jack Dorsey is on the board of directors at Disney.

This on top of being the founder/ceo of both twitter and square.

I wonder what his secret is.
I think you can, it has a native Mac port on Steam.
As a budding functional programmer, I agree with the spirit of this article wholeheartedly. Recursion, as with nature can blow you mind.

> This guy and his crew beat up and threatened to kill someone for a petty crime.

That's exactly what caused all of these protests.

> At what point are adults responsible for their own actions?

It's constantly of interest to me how much "free will" actually exists. The more research comes out about environmental factors, the more we realize that people who suffer {home, food, employment, physical} insecurity exhibit symptoms as if they had a lower IQ and stress which is correlated with increased mental illness, stress, blood pressure, and other health problems.

It also strikes me that the current legal corrections system really only works if we, as individuals, have significant ability to decide not to commit a crime as opposed to it being the most likely destiny based on our current {personal, environmental} state.
Britain is not run by clerics, so is not a theocracy. And they're not an enemy of the only superpower.
You could look at this as these organizations making a mistake by using Venmo and expecting them to try and re-engineertheir platform to help them, or as venmo making a mistake by failing to capitalize on this moment and ending any chance of them becoming the payments backbone of small dollar donations, while also creating the PR disaster of PayPal's notorious tendency to freeze accounts/mess things up with broken systems and poor customer service blowing up into a high profile failure. PayPal has started getting a pretty bad reputation, and while I think this site is likely to lean into the "they shouldn't have chosen venmo" angle, do remember that PayPal has a reputation for fraud systems screwing up.
Sure, there are non-corrupt unions in some other countries, the question is however how much % of them are not corrupt.
Ouch didn't know that JSON was used to shuffle data around in React Native. I've had quite a bit of success using GraalVM's polyglot Values along the React[js]/jvm boundary so I can see why they are moving in this direction.
Not centuries; since Sykes Picot. The sexually repressive culture and extremism predates SP by centuries in fact.
"Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away."

Heard that a bunch of times. I was today years old when i discovered it was PKD who said it.
The article's title is clickbait (no fault to the submitter).

These are withdrawal limit and/or fraud detection issues that would apply equally to other organizations using Venmo or Paypal. I suspect this isn't just a matter of these companies clicking a checkbox; many of these limits are likely required by their banking partners or regulations.
SEC, bankruptcy court authorize Hertz to sell $1B in worthless shares
That's really not a fair judgement. Like wazoox said, you used completely untypical hardware for a desktop system. And on top of that you did use neither a typical distribution nor a modern Desktop environment. For example, you wouldn't run into the multimedia software issues with something like Ubuntu with a KDE or Gnome desktop. And with something a bit less mainstream like Arch or void you'd have a great foundation for more alternative setups (like a custom desktop environment with software you selected for yourself).

Look for example at https://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/kubuntu-focal.html.
