All of the standards for gloves, but it is basically impossible to find one that fits me.

My hand is about the size of a Mac keyboard. As in I lay it put flat and stretched I have my thumb on the fn to the left, my little finger on the right arrow to the right, the base of my hand at the bottom of the touchpad, and my index finger on the f8 key. I think the last pair I successfully bought was XXXL...and was still a bit small.
I think you really want to repeat the fields because inserting versus updating could require dramatically different behavior.
Thanks for the advice. You may be misunderstanding my position as it’s more tax efficient for me to do as I mentioned above.
While your argument may or may not have some merit generically, what the previous poster likely referred to is Notch's apparent belief in the PizzaGate and QAnon-conspieracies.

I'm of the opinion that Notch has kind of gone off the deep end, which makes me a bit sad. I'm not sure that money brought him the happiness he rightly should have gotten.
Yeah, that's fair. But I'd put it in the category of like sci-fi movies (she's obviously based on Hal from 2001), and Portal 2 has movie-equivalent levels of storyline.

I think it's an art form in its infancy, and that different arts have different levels of both time spent and depth of understanding gained by taking them in. How much does a painting teach you about the human condition?
You need to track your time and limit all that you put in. I use a spreadsheet that I put the times I start, take lunch, and then it calculates when I need to stop. So if I take a 37 minute lunch, I can set a timer on my phone to go off and remind me. I've also setup a automatic timer to switch on a lamp that starts at roughly an hour before I need to log on and cuts out at lunch. After lunch I turn it back on util I'm off. I only go into work mode with that light on. Simple but effective. Then you have to make other things worth doing, like I'd rather throw a ball for my dog than keep working. Or a hobby that gets you away from the PC, knitting would work and easy to get started.
Haiku, maybe?
This is one incredible journey back into my teenage years. Thanks so much to the developer and the person who shared it here!
Beautiful comment!
This being HN, I hope you are aware of the evolving space of cryptoeconomics, projects like https://commonsstack.org/ and https://daostack.io/
It's important that emerging protocol based institutions do not just replicate old patterns with modern technology. The innovation should be both technological and social.
> Zero Hedge may be an outlet for a state level actor.

So is the NPR and the BBC, so I'm not sure how much this means.

It's best to take what everyone says with a grain of salt and piece things together from the evidence presented. I certainly don't believe everything posted by any of the outlets.

ZH definitely plays more fast and loose with things, though.
Yeah, MDC was added as something better than nothing for unsigned messages/files. It has ended up being remarkably robust over the years, considering. The biggest deal is that you can entirely remove it. As a result stuff these days tends to consider a missing MDC as an invalid MDC.
I am the primary author of INSERT ... ON CONFLICT in Postgres. I extensively studied similar features from other database systems as part of that project.

MERGE simply doesn't provide the guarantees that most users want -- not in theory and not in practice. For example, the Oracle docs introduce MERGE by saying: "This statement is a convenient way to combine multiple operations. It lets you avoid multiple INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE DML statements."

It's likely impossible to make the concurrency guarantees work sensibly in READ COMMITTED mode while supporting MERGE's very general semantics. There are subtle but very real problems with making it behave like ON CONFLICT in one context but not in others. In my view MERGE is a perfectly reasonable feature, but it just isn't what people want when they say they want to upsert.

The SQL standard deliberately underspecifies anything related to transaction isolation or concurrency. I cannot see the standard providing any guidance on upsert for this reason.
It won't be, though, correct? Trump tweeted something about continuing funding, likely as a response to leaks of him disparaging dead veterans.

Ask HN: Are you friends with your manager?
I’m intrigued by the psychology of the relationship between managers and directs.

For instance, can it ever be the same as it can be if you didn’t work together for?

Do you instead maintain a layer of “professional distance”, that means you won’t ever be as close?

I imagine it could just depend exclusively on the personality each has...
Good overview for the v7 work is here:

https://blog.npmjs.org/post/617484925547986944/npm-v7-series...

I've got a ton of npm fatigue, most of it related to bad decisions in the 6.X series. A lot of the things in this road map are in line with the sort of things I would do if I found myself having to write a better package manager (which I really don't want to be in charge of), so I hope that works out for them, and thus for the users.

Package installation from a remote server is just too many separate concerns to try to solve in one ball of mud, and it shows. Pushing responsibilities down the stack where the inconsistencies can be spotted with local reasoning is probably the only way to spot, let alone fix a bunch of these issues. It's frustrating to see bug reports where people say "X is happening" and the maintainers say "We only do X when you do Y," people respond, "but we didn't do Y" and then get crickets.

I'm already conserving political capital that I plan to spend on pushing us through upgrades to whatever version of NodeJS ships with npm 7.1.2.
Populous, Powermonger, Magic Carpet, loved them all. Dungeon Keeper (which the article doesn't mention) is still one of my top 10 games.

Black and White... OK, yeah, I enjoyed them, but it always felt like the full experience wasn't developed. It talked the talk but never walked the walk.

then... Godus. Yeah. Good concept, I played > 50 hours on it. but it never delivered at all.

It's like the more able the hardware and software was to deliver Molyneux's vision, the less deliverable his vision was.
Sorry, I had a few typos and can’t edit.

Gamma is the rate of change of delta w.r.t the underlying price. For example OTM calls have a delta close to 0. As the underlying price increases the delta will increase. When the underlying price reaches the call strike price (ATM) the delta will typically be 0.5. As the underlying price continues to rise and the call becomes deep ITM the delta will approach 1.0.
There is nothing from evolutionary point of view more important than having children. It would be highly unusual if nature didn't make that experience overall speaking as one of best things in life.
What would be the cheapest way (ideally free) to setup custom runners?
Decentralization works great for small communities and use cases. The moment you start scaling you run into a myriad of problems:

- fraud/abuse (spam)

- outsized influence of providers who make it easy to get on board without having to self host (gmail)

- inability to easily change your protocols to handle new features (IMAP4 is from the 90s)

- inflexibility to easily fix bugs and distribute patches across the entire fleet

- unequal footing in both feature capacity and security posture from node to node

Email, Matrix/Riot, etc all suffer from these problems. As does bitcoin. That's not to say that they're not overcomeable, but many of the challenges (especially fraud/abuse) require close collaboration between different decentralized node owners - which to some, defeats the purpose. I ask, what is the internet if not a way to communicate, so I guess I don't think it defeats the purpose.

I'm actually interested to see what matrix is doing, because they seem to realize that a platform of decentralized nodes that handles a lot of the challenges (updates, auth, etc) means that people will be able to build their own new use-cases on top of the network, or diverge.

Anyways, despite these problems, despite the uphill battle in user experience, despite the pain of self-hosting, despite all of the challenges: I still do it.

The internet is a miracle and one way to keep it a miracle is to take the reins of your presence on it.
Thank You for Your Opinions
What would you add to markdown?
Solar does not have the special handling and proliferation issues that nuclear waste does. Disposing of or recycling broken solar panels is significantly less complicated than spent nuclear fuel and waste byproducts.

Recycling and disposal does need consideration for renewables, as well as nuclear. You cannot just say "Well no one is looking into it for solar, so nuclear should get a free pass too!", especially when nuclear waste is so much more hazardous. Also when considering the infrastructure costs associated with setting up proper reprocessing facilities, no it does not obviously come out ahead. It's incredibly expensive upfront.
I think this is largely due to the fact that all the existing and thriving (post)modern social-network-as-businesses start off with cost structures that restrict themselves to serve the advertisers and medium/large businesses in a long run, and not the end users.

This reflects:

- the chasm between paid-to-use and free-to-use services in terms of frictions introduced during user on-boarding.

- the hyped-up vc eco-system that pour insane amount of cash into internet products that display crazy growth curve and that helps to destroy competitors to achieve maximum market coverage - so everyone wants crazy growth curve.

And the result is that existing social-network-as-businesses whose services majority of the human population use are simply not designed to serve the people.

Screens are more compelling than what's off screen only when what's off screen are less compelling than screens.

I want to believe that people learn.

And I want to believe that we as a civilisation are gradually shifting towards a reward system where wealth is accumulated by those who contribute to helping others to learn things (e.g. StackOverflow and Coursera just received another round of funding recently! So that's super cool!), and, on a long run, humanity's collective progress to enlightenment.

This is why seeing recent advancements in psychedelic and consciousness research (e.g. by John Hopkins, Imperial) always brighten my day =)

And I'm just super happy and grateful that great thinkers on consciousness (like John Yates, Roger Penrose, Joscha Bach) are getting a lot more media exposure in recent years! (And this is all thanks to the internet & new media!)

So cheer up mate! Always look on the bright side of life! (as much as possible, while appreciating the intricacies and emptiness within)
Democrats are right wing by the standard that they uphold social inequality. They certainly market themselves as left-leaning, but if I had space and sufficient interest, I could easily discourse about the ways in which they are anything but.

I think people who are opposed to remote work should be honest about what they really want. They're advocating for all tech jobs to be concentrated in a handful of cities (SF, NYC, Seattle), all of which suffer from a housing shortage.

Linux crashes, Windows bluescreens, Emacs crashes, GCC crashes. Do we have any C that works? I hear good things about seL4 but that was mostly using C as a compilation target from Haskell.
Friend of mine's company guy bought because they had an Ethernet solution for VMS. The company that bought them wanted it ported to NT. He said it was 'almost trivial'
Soon we'll have that cognitive overhead on HN threads and there will be a larger volume to parse.

I find the reverse approach exciting: I'd love an ML system that analyses articles and shows which parts are just regurgitating the press release, and which parts add anything meaningful.

And to go further: a system that collects articles on the same topics and highlights semantic differences (facts, tone, framing, ...).
Ugh, WSJ - no, it's not "shocking experts". It's shocking people who have absolutely no conception of how GPT-3 works. Those of us who do are mildly impressed, but recognize that GPT-3 is only an incremental improvement, and much of what comes out of it is nothing more than moderately coherent nonsense.

During the monarchy, liberals were left wing (the "radical republicans"). After they won, liberals became the defenders of the status quo and are thus the right wing. There are people further right that wish to roll the clock backwards.
Here's my slightly unusual take on performance management as a manager.

If I'm doing my job well, reviews should mostly feel like a formality. They shouldn't take much time from me or from my reports.

If I'm doing my job poorly, one signal of that is that a review takes a lot of effort. If a performance review takes a lot of my time or that of the report receiving the review, it suggests there's been some considerable communication breakdown. Typically this means the report has been performing poorly, doesn't realize it, and I have failed to convey this situation to them. More rarely, someone is doing well but I failed and made them feel like they were doing poorly.

In this way, I still appreciate the review process. It encourages me to confront performance management issues continuously throughout the year, and in the worst case that I slip up it provides a safeguard that makes sure I eventually do get on the right page with the employee.
I can’t tell you if they are or aren’t a bad investment. I am just confident in the level of returns I could get in private investments, and it seems to be better than what I can do in public.

Invest in TSLA as much as you like. I’m going to be investing in things with a lot less 20 somethings invested in it.
It's exactly the same for PS.

Just as you have to look at a text output of a unix command to figure out how to parse it and extract the subset of information you need from it, so do you have to look at the help metadata of a PS command to figure out how to extract the subset of information you need from its output.

The advantage of having objects instead of text is that if you thought you could parse the filename of grep matches by substring each line of `grep -H`'s output with `:`, you failed to account for filenames with colons. With PS's sls, its help metadata tells you it outputs `Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.MatchInfo` objects, and the documentation for that type tells you it has a `Filename` property of type string.

One PS command is not "integrated" with another PS command; they're all integrated to .Net and a bunch of built-in PS types.
Yeah there should be debugging classes, googling classes, and how to orient yourself in a massive, existing codebase classes.
Yes, I live in Switzerland and am well aware. I was replying to the parent comment.
One great thing about gpg though is that if you have it, you have everything. And because it's so ubiquitous pretty much every distro has it by default. Not having to look for packages, being able to decrypt stuff even on a rescue image etc is great. On the mobile side there's also great clients like openkeychain.

And most of its shortcoming are mainly academic, and not everyone has the heaviest actors in their threat model.

One thing I really love about GPG is that you can use yubikeys and OpenPGP cards for your private keys and encrypt files to that. Any other tool would have to have at least that functionality. I use this all the time and it provides great protection against passphrase logging or key theft. Going back to private keys on disk is a huge step back IMO. I no longer use any such keys except for one backup key I have stored offline and which I throw in the mix in case all of my yubi's and cards break :)
Do you have it somewhere? That sounds hilarious!
This was one of those stories where the underlying premise—that Juicero raised vast sums of money to produce a space-age hardware product that was utterly unnecessary—was so ludicrous that I initially assumed that I was missing something.

I still don’t understand, at all, how they got to where they did without one single person outside the company asking them why the machine had to cost $400. The idea that it was just a grift to wow VCs looking for something sexy seems too simple.

Most of what it provides are far less than existing state law. It counts "engaged time" only as the time a driver is actually carrying a fare. They're suggesting a 30 cents/mile reimbursement rate; the IRS 2020 rate is 57.5 cents/mile. CA worker compensation laws also provide much stronger protection for workers, crucially on a no-fault basis.

The pro-22 companies have contributed $110 million to the campaign. That's plenty to hire some good PR, and two orders of magnitude more than the groups opposed. So one could hypothesize their terrible marketing on 22's employee protections is because it has poor protections compared to the alternative
Initially I was looking at the QR-code and thinking about punchcards, code golf and javascript, but reading that it contains a Windows executable was a surprise.
Looks really cool, although it's a shame the description isn't a bit more "plain language" - a simple summary of what it is intended for, before going into jargon would help people realise why it's valuable. The fact it uses a cache isn't immediately important: I doubt anyone is saying "I hope I can find a solution which uses a cache", they'll be saying eg "I'm struggling with QA, what can streamline it?".

The paper's introduction section is more useful, but I wonder if people will get that far. Likewise the repo screenshot is useful but it's way down the README page.

Anyway, these are just well intentioned comments. It's easy to lose track that potential users won't get what you've been building until you pitch it in their terms.

I hate it when models are described as "an AI." It's too much of a personification for my taste. "An intelligence" carries a lot of baggage compared to "a model." We can argue til we're blue in the face about whether GPT-3 is intelligent, so writing a headline like this is already too much hype for me. I've gotten the chance to play with GPT-3 quite a bit, and while amazingly impressive, it's not remotely close to what the hype train says it is.
I hate to be that guy but this actually seems like a reasonable restriction to me. If your favourite artists "want" to charge for your sharing of the music they have the right.

Honestly I think the biggest problem with copyright these days is the infinite period for which it lasts.
Stop your manager in their tracks next 1:1 and state you have some feedback about how you're feeling here. Start by noting that it's a very stressful time right now and that these concerns are even more important for you. Your manager would likely be hurt if you left and good managers appreciate upwards feedback so that they can correct on their side.

The fact that the performance rating is good means your manager probably is acknowledging the work you do, just not to you. The manager input for ratings is hugely important at the FAANGs, so your manager is clearly telling others you're doing a great job. There's just clearly a gap here between you and her/him in that feedback.

Source: Am a manager at one of the FAANGs. I'm finding that everyone is overthinking every bit of feedback right now. Clearly minor feedback is hard to differentiate compared to major feedback. Likely due to the video communications barrier and that everyone is a little bit more alone with their thoughts. I'm being cautious on delivery because of it. There's also less ad-hoc thank you's and acknowledgements going around due to the remote barriers.
Yes, I know. There is something about having the actual bare metal machine that I enjoy. I am a bit of a retrocomputing enthusiast. I am also running Alpha, not VAX.
You got me there. I should have said, man pages are my go-to for POSIX commands.

For Git, I usually turn to online documentation (at https://git-scm.com/docs) or, more often than not, search for keywords and, yes, end up at StackOverflow.

That supports the root-parent comment's point, that there are "fundamental design issues of POSIX", if users new and experienced must resort to such channels. It also implies that "man" as the default documentation system is not sufficiently meeting our needs.

I'm generally also one of the git sceptics - Though I loved staging for a while as for the fine grained control. `git add --all` just might not do the right thing - for paranoids like me. Just recently got to know you can skip the staging by appending the paths of the changed files you want to commit after `git commit -m "awesome commit"` - neat.

> Why would I be upset that that some teen or 20-something, who primarily uses the internet to post and browse selfies on social media, does so from a phone rather than a IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad?

Because it used to be that you could start as a browser/gamer and transition to becoming a creator/tinkerer without having to change devices.

You can become a creator using the software available in the walled gardens, but only a certain kind - a content producer for the almighty ad engine.

The general purpose computer has not disappeared, but it’s no longer the first or default exposure to computing for young people. The phone or tablet is a plateau which will trap many who might move beyond it due to simple economics - it’s hard to justify yet another device if the phone or tablet can do everything that you need it to at the moment.
