Where are you getting the information that Australia is "very easy" to immigrate to as a tech person? That is not my experience from multiple data points, and that was before covid.

One guy I know was denied a renewal to continue working at his company, which should be a steady state formality. He was making a great wage, not eligible for Medicare and the tax bracket is punishing until you have PR. He was a cash cow win/win deal that my country saw fit to pass on.

It may be easier than moving to the US, but compared to NZ or Germany, the other countries I have first hand experience with, it's practically Fort Knox.

In fact it's widely seen as easier to immigrate to NZ first then use that to get to Australia, though that differs with policy changes and your occupation.

I'd recommend NZ anyway, at least if you're semi retiring. The wages aren't great but everything else is better.

Gonna go out on a limb here and make a hypothesis that is highly likely to be false but which I think is interesting: maybe it's just because namespacing is a natural thing in OOP and that makes auto-complete easier. So the advent of auto-complete and namespacing without OOP will end the popularity of OOP.

I have a home nextcloud with a few extra TB of storage. I would put it there and use a share link.

But HTTP is not a great protocol for really large transfers like 10TB. Ideally you'd want something that parallelizes and does hash checks.

Even then, at 10TB you need a 2 gigabit connection to be even competitive with SSD-and-overnight-shipping (about 12hrs).
So how do you change the scheduling algorithm though channels?

Something that looks like async/await and has a rather bad performance can be implemented through channels.

Nestable stackless coroutines cannot. By definition they require compiler support.

Your proposed solution will not have any of the advantages of stackless coroutines (effect typing of async functions and perfectly optimal memory use) while suffering all the performance penalty of running on top of a channel.
> State Senators were still voted on by the People...I kind of wonder whether it was better to let the State Legislature decide.

It seems you don't understand the difference between how the people directly elected US Senators since 1913 versus a State Republic that was voted on.

These are two very different things. I say very because one is more Democratic and the other is more Republic. A Republic is an indirect mechanism whereas Democratic is a direct mechanism.

I detest the TSA, and government overreach, but I'm failing to see the issue here. Even before the optional photo system was introduced, they would stick my ID in a scanner, this seems like the same thing but the work is outsourced to me. Admittedly, I place less value on my privacy than the average HN commenter, given I opted in to Clear which lets me bypass lines using biometrics, a trade-off I was glad to make.

Then, people have raised the unrelated issue of why ID checks are needed at all, and I can think of a couple, not sure of the actual reason:
1) Checking that you're not on the no-fly list.
2) Checking that there isn't a BOLO out on you, so that people with warrants, parole etc can't skip town easily.

The argument that it is to prevent secondary markets for tickets sounds hollow - airlines do their own ID checks when printing the boarding pass and at the gate.

If a senator woke up tomorrow and wanted to help a martian terror cell that nobody knew existed, they would still be assisting an enemy of the state. It would still be treason, and I doubt that interpretation would be a topic of debate.

There are also groups who openly consider us their enemy and take action to harm the United States, even if we don't 'officially' recognize them. Some of these groups are nation-states, others are religious groups, and others and driven by [0]other ideologies.

Your deductibles and HSA contributions will be lower than my National Insurance contributions yet alone the employer ones and considerably so.

As a “high” (by UK standards not US ones) income earner in the UK the “cost” of your health insurance/benefits would be considerably higher than the cost in the US but the benefits won’t be dependent on your continued employment.

The reality is that the compensation in the UK/EU is overall rather pitiful especially when you account for the higher taxation and the employment costs to the employer are much higher which is one of the main reasons for the lower salaries rather than the employers don’t need to cover benefits.

For a taxable salary of £115K which is on the higher end of what you can get in the U.K. these days the employer NIC is £13,885 that’s 10% contribution on top of the salary alone the employee is then pays over £6000 in contributions also.

There was no Linux when Sun took that decision.

Linux rose to relevance because BSD was stuck in a legal fight, and while Windows was starting to eat the UNIX workstation market, Microsoft did not considered worthwhile to actively pursue their POSIX support.

Had Windows NT offered POSIX standard support to the level I could do my DG/UX work assignments at home (minus traditional UNIX wars issues), and I would never cared for Linux.

I bet many would have done the same.
When I expressed horror and outrage at the notion that the TSA can go through your luggage, an American friend told me "well if it keeps us safe...", so I'd say "afraid".
I believe it's not really a sovereignty issue, but primarily just a matter of practicality. If your soldiers must fear repercussions for their actions, they will be much less effective. They won't "move fast and break things".

The worst of the worst war crimes will be prosecuted in the US as well, but generally, soldiers have little to fear. A non-US court wouldn't have the same perspective.

Essentially: if you want people to do whatever it takes to get your mission done, make sure they're not liable for anything they break while doing so. That goes for the military as much as for tech companies. Tech companies just don't have armies to back up their stances, yet.
Individual changes aren't enough, but they're necessary. Pushing for systemic change and laws forcing others to change their lives but not wanting to voluntarily make changes in yours just looks like hypocrisy.
I own the domain doesnthaveone.com, so I've also gotten a ton of these types of emails. It really is shocking.

Having a generic "Send to" would only solve a part of it though. There is currently no standard way of connecting the two ends of the same cable to two computers and expect them to exchange files without heavy configuration on both sides. Wireless goes the same way.
Since stackless coroutine schedulers can often be customized, you could (and are encouraged to) launch coroutine code doing heavy performance on a thread based scheduler.
I've never worked with a green threads system in any real sort of environment where I was actually solving real problems at scale, but I always wonder, does the underlying runtime ever push them into actual real threads that can actually run on another core, or are they always the imaginary concurrency of using the gaps where another green thread needs to wait the comparative eternity for some I/O?

The problem is rather that the GNDs on both computers might be at a different potential and substantial amounts of current might start to flow once connected (read: something between computer A and computer B catches fire).

async/await and channel are independent of scheduling. Nodejs doesn't have multithread but has async/await. I find goroutines lightweight enough in my personal testing and didn't tried tweaking it.
There is a lot of perspective missing here. Libya was in total chaos before US or France began supporting the civilians. The support from US (and France) was welcome at that time and was a huge relief to the civilians there.

I am not sure how he destroyed Syria. The whole resistance was part of the Arab Spring. It was a mixture of unhappiness with the dictatorship and the food scarcity outside of the cities. The involvement from outside powers came in very late and mostly were half hearted approaches (except the Russians).

Obama is not perfect, and during his reign, journalism and whistleblowers were affected a lot. He also had other issues but these were not part of them.

I have a firstname.lastname Gmail account. Neither frst or last are particularly common. There are various people around the planet who hand out my address as there own, I get invoices on a regular basis but also correspondence from real estate agents and legal correspondence. Most recently I spam listed a Canadian telco because some gentleman in Canada is joyfully handing out my address. On the other hand I very rarely get someone else's snail mail and if I do it is for a neighbour I know a house or two away and never someone in another country :-)

>That's definitely not true for non romantic relationships.

It is. If you go into a chatroom with 10 active people its easier to form bonds with any particular person in the group than if you have 400 people. A relationship on HN or Facebook is extremely shallow because it is not exclusive. If you were to restrict yourself to bookmarking to 1-5 users and only responding to their comments then you would easily form a relationship with those people. Lots of people put their email address in their profiles so they can have exclusive communication between two parties.

Maybe the social media example is too tech focused. A relationship between parent and child is also exclusive but the exclusivity shrinks as the family size grows. There are extreme families that have 10 children and as a result each child spends very little time with their parents. Instead, the older brothers and sisters take care of a lot of parenting. Children form stronger bonds with their siblings than with their parents.

>Even in the context of a traditional monogamous romantic relationships that sounds incredibly unhealthy.

That sounds to me more like your own preference is to be on a polygamous relationship with several people. There is nothing wrong with that but calling other people's relationships "incredibly unhealthy" is quite rude. It's easier to have a deep relationship with one wife than a series of potential girlfriends who you meet for one date and then never again. Of course you might find the right one and then never marry but from an exclusivity standpoint it is equivalent to a marriage.

Maybe you are reading too much into "have as much of other's attention as possible". Exclusivity is not about how much time you spend with a person. It's about how much you are restricting yourself to a small selection of people. Exclusivity increases the maximum possible time that can be spent on a relationship but it doesn't mean that you actually spend every waking hour with your partner or friend.

You present a very one-side of view of that story that has been extremely muddied by a constant stream of conspiracy theories and misinformation from everyone including the president. Even though I agree with Trump on some things and dislike Biden the lying, conspiracy theories and general disrespect for our democracy is completely disqualifying in my book.

Another Brick in the Wall Lyrics
I had a similar experience as the author when trying to do a "digital detox." I removed apps from my phone, installed a launcher that forces you to type the app name you want to open, changed the screen to black and white, etc. Yet a new distraction always creeps in to fill the space.

The most useful thing I did was put all my electronic devices in a separate room when going to bed. Before, I would often stay up on my phone until I was seconds away from falling asleep. The first day trying to fall asleep without any distractions was scarily difficult. Just being alone with your own thoughts, worries, stress, etc. can be really uncomfortable. But after getting used to it, not only do I get better sleep, but I think I also have better self-control to resist distractions during the day.

So for anyone looking to reduce distractions, start by removing all distractions when going to sleep. The first few times trying to fall asleep without distractions will probably be harder than you think, but it gets easier and you'll be better for it in the end.

This is a nice idea, and amazing execution on this. Really excited to see how this picks up.

But here are my concerns with the Git contributions to reward performance.

A company I interned at installed a Git history analysis tool, and used stats from that in 1:1s and performance reviews.

About a month after I joined, I had one such 1:1 with my manager. He was like, "Congratulations! You made 53% of all contributions to frontend last month. You're our star performer."

I wasn't. I was responsible for upgrading our frontend from React 15 to React 16. Most of the changes that happened were thanks to the Codemod, and a lot of find / replace magic.
On the whole university professors are terrible teachers. The concept of a professor wasting time giving a lecture to 100 people is surely at an end - far better to find the 1 in 100 professors who are good at teaching to record a lecture and give it to 10,000 people - where those people can pause, play it back as many times as they need, etc
I once talked to a farmer south of Munich who claimed to have documents showing that his farm belonged to his family since the early 12th century. Society must have been really stable there for a long time.

Also, he told me that he is very unhappy with high land prices around Munich. He could be a multi-millionaire immediately by selling his land, but his familiy tradition does not allow this. Due to the high land prices, if he gives a small part of the land to his daughter to build a house, he must sell another part to pay the property sales tax (not sure I understood this correctly).
Ouch, I understand that it demoes their solution, but with the autoplay that's very insensitive.

It's Pascal inspired but certainly not any of Wirth's syntaxes, like 1/2 line if's, semi colons in weird places making blocks look odd. Ada has a more inclusive syntax, whereby "is" or "begin" and "end" encases what is inside it. Compare Modula's:

MODULE X;
...
END MODULE X.

and Ada's:

package X is
...
end X;

Ada's package feels like one statement containing others, whereby Modula's looks like it ends on the first line.
