I am financially comfortable (though not at 'fuck you money'), but also, personally, really want to be an EM. My passion has been people, process, and management for a decade or more at this point (I had my first tech internship 20 years ago, and have been full time in the industry for 15).

I initially didn't care about titles, but they do constrain what work you can do. The reality is that if your title is one of an individual contributor, even if you lead culture change at the company level, they will always look for the code. If they don't find it, you will be in trouble.

One thing I have learned over the last year of my life is that being "Shadow lead" - the one actually pulling the strings and making things happen, with no formal title/recognition - is the worst spot to be in. The work you are doing doesn't match what you should be doing on paper, so you are very vulnerable if somebody decides to take a closer look.

It's "glue work" but on a larger scale. It's important, but will go unrecognized. It's emotionally exhausting to build a team and get a head pat and told someone else will lead that now, thanks, and by the way how much code did you write recently?

Though I do wonder what you mean by "official" but without the title. It might be the case that "everybody knows" what you do, but if your lead is replaced or just changes their attitude, suddenly your IC work is under the microscope, and could be found lacking.
Italy has a digital identity provider (SPID) and certified email (PEC, which is basically email + digital identity) and only government websites, bank and insurrances use it. It is much better than the alternative in the UK, where you either visit a branch in person or send a copy of your ID (passport or driving licence) together with proof of address (a bank statement), hoping they won't leak the documents at some point.
Because it's obviously a bribe.

> An option that preserves privacy but doesn’t have the overhead of cash is needed.

How about this?

1. Only require certain businesses to accept cash. Make sure this includes some classes of business that most people have fairly reasonable access to. Grocery stores and convenience stores, for example.

2. Require those business to sell prepaid debit cards for cash. The debit cards must have no extra fees for purchase. A $20 debit card for example would cost $20 cash. No ID is required to buy these cards.

3. The debit cards would be subject to the normal processing fees upon use.

4. Other business can choose to not accept cash, but they must access the prepaid debit cards, and cannot charge any fees for them that they do not charge for other non-cash payment methods.
There are other reasons that houses sizes are large for new homes. It costs a lot for a builder to get permits, buy the undeveloped land, etc. They want the most bang for their buck.

I live in the burbs of Atlanta. We purposefully got the smallest floor plan the builder had. We still ended up with 3100 square feet. At the time in 2016, the builder only required 5% down - $16,500. We even got some of that back at closing because an FHA loan was only 3.5%. We pay less than $2200/month all in.

I don’t think many people on the west coast realize how relatively affordable houses are in the burbs of most major non west coast cities.

In Atlanta, your average SaaS CRUD developer can easily afford that making low $100K which they can make with five or six years experience.

On the other hand your average couple making $60K each - two teachers could afford that.
Surprised no one has mentioned QuickLook. In Finder, select a file (document, image, movie, etc.) and tap the space bar to bring up QuickLook. You’ll see a full preview of that document instantly. The preview window follows your focus, so you can use mouse arrow keys to navigate between files, etc and see an updated preview. Also works in Open dialogs, Mail attachments and elsewhere.
I think the Control Center’s “windows of active application” view is what you’re looking for. Hit Ctrl+Down. It’s keyboard-navigable!
FWIW, most (all?) of BetterSnapTool's functionality is included with BetterTouchTool. BTT is an amazing utility... worth every penny.
In the scenario, the third party is the advertising broker, Google, who are also the entity serving the signed bundle.
No, I've never seen cleanbrowsing and it's ilk; at least in this case it is a comercial companies trying to force the system to work with their product, not a part of community supposedly "fixing" the system and breaking it in process. They also do not force resolv.conf, only using the new configuration mechanism to make their changes stick.

Unbond & co are of course not stub resolvers; however the classic stub resolvers (like glibc nss dns module) are kind of obsolete too. All modern systems have an service, that does the resolving and caching in the separate process and the nss just asks that process. Just like unbound & co. With properly configured nsswitch (e.g. with system-resolved and nss-resolve), the resolv.conf is not used either, just like with MacOS. Resolv.conf pointing to local resolver is only for processes, that ignore nsswitch and would be break otherwise.
They don’t need you to do anything. The person who sent it to you is now a “verified purchaser”, which makes the review they leave more reputable.
They're going to need a lot more reeducation camps for that.
> It resets the config and the window size for a folder at every random occasion, creates .DS_Store garbage all over

I suspect you might be deleting the .DS_Store files, which would have a side effect of resetting your configuration.

Also, Finder doesn't do cut, you hold down ⌥ when pasting to move it rather than make a copy. And since it draws your desktop icons, it's supposed to stay running–that's why "Quit Finder" menu is hidden by default.
Ultrix WAS DEFINITELY trash —I didn’t even consider it a “DEC” operating system (was referring to VMS, RSX, RT11, VAXeln, RSTS/E, TOPS). You have to realize that Ultrix was despised by virtually (hah) the entire organization. It was a product of DECWRL in Palo Alto for use in situations where the customer required Unix due to edict or integration, much like Apple A/UX and many others.
I briefly mention the spacebar shortcut in the article but it does indeed deserve more explanation. One of my favorite macOS file browsing features for sure, miss it all the time on Linux, especially the part where it follows your focus when you use the arrow keys. Great for looking through large folders of poorly-named PDFs for the right thing.
How do I get my username in green on Hacker News?
I notice some people's usernames are green in hacker-news. What's the significance of that and how do I do it?
I love how you added Option-2 for ™ as a tip, that's the only shortcut for one of those symbols I've committed to memory before for using in a jokey context.
Thanks. Sure, will check those blogs.
"Walking" my windows across the displays with key shortcuts is my biggest pain point here of a bunch of little conveniences that add up.

I have three identical 1080P displays on my desk. On Windows, and it's one example of a bunch of little things, I can press Windows key and an arrow to expand the current Window to half a display - I press it again and it snaps to the next half, and does so across screens - so I can really quickly expand my workspace to fill the screen area depending on the task I'm working on (one or two key presses).

There's not way for me to do this on macOS even without keyboard shortcuts. There's no reason for this, and what's worse, with side-by-side view this experience should be better than Windows for me as I'm never working on less than half a display per window - but it's just un-necessarily painful.

It would take no time at all to bind side-by-side snapping to keypresses and have it operate predictably across multiple displays but they just don't do it, won't allow me to, and I don't understand why.
This is something that needs to be heard more.

I'd taken psychedelics perhaps 50-60 times before I had one out-of-nowhere bad experience that caused more harm than all the good I'd gotten out of them in my life.

I'm not against psychedelics after this either, huge supporter, but people like to pretend traumatic experiences don't have a chance of occuring.
As far as I know I can not donate to or for Firefox development but only to Mozilla. And we all have seen and heard and read what they will use the money for (hint: massive paychecks for the C-level) and how their priorities are set.

So: While I love the product, I very much dislike the company. And that's why they won't get any money from me.

Looking for gear or app recommendations that make the home office better.
In addition to other comments, every year proprietary software gets more power and profitable, providing more funding for development that makes it harder for open source to compete. That's why "they year of Linux on the desktop" gets a little farther away every year, for the largest software products like the UI shell, web browsers, video editors, etc
Given the questionable decisions Mozilla has made in the last weeks, I feel that donating to them is wasting money on politics, not making sure a critically-necessary product will continue to exist.

I'm using Vivaldi now. Yes, it's Chromium-based. But it comes with preinstalled anti-tracking / anti-ad filters, and it's crazy fast.
Sadly, EU institutions in the area of direct foreign policy have been continuously undermined - mostly by French and UK governments who wanted "their hands free", but also by tactical US moves to ensure NATO would stay relevant. There are real contrasts in outlook among member states when it comes to larger geopolitical issues (even extremely close to home, like Lybia and Turkey), coupled with a general unwillingness, among most member states, to engage in dangerous (and expensive) geopolitical games. That makes it hard to formulate robust action plans beyond the usual platitudes. There is no EU military force yet for that same reason, in practice.

The hope is that long-term economic integration will progressively reduce these problems, by turning "national spheres of influence" into "European spheres of influence". But at the moment, EU foreign-policy mechanisms (and appointees...) are fairly weak. We'll see what happens after we digest the loss of Britain, which was an extremely vocal (and followed / respected) member on these topics. Maybe we'll finally grow up a bit.
I have grown up on Windows and repairing Windows was usually like "not sure why it happens, let's try this set of various utilities hoping that one of them will fix it, if neither does then let's reinstall on top of existing filesystem, if it still doesn't help let's make a clean reinstall". On GNU/Linux though I have yet to find an issue I'm not able to get to the bottom of and at least understand why it happens (well enough to file a useful bug report) since I started using it in 2006. I have never reinstalled a GNU/Linux distro because of a software problem, and I've been breaking them quite a lot with my tinkering.
New users have a green username. This is so you can provide friendly, helpful, notes to those users.
I think it depends on the reason of why you release your code as an open source project in the first place. If your goal is simply to let your code available to general public, reviewing unsolicited contributions will feels like a huge drain of your time and probably not worth it as it may not align with your goal. Just let them fork your project and continue as usual. But if the goal is to build a community around your open source project, then I think it's still a good idea to engage with those unsolicited contributions even though it's a major time sink.
Right, typing multiple caps in a row was mostly a way to place emphasis at the time of mechanical typewriters. When there was only a font, no italics, and two colors (if you where lucky).

Anyway, it's obsolete for modern usage

> Is it my duty to protect [...] other consumers?"

Calling them 'consumers' rather than 'people' seems like a use of dehumanizing language to assuage your guilt. At least, that's how it comes across to me. When you accept a bribe for a review you're screwing over the living breathing human beings who might make the mistake of assuming you aren't a liar.

great thank you for the information!
When I saw this, the adjacent story on HN was "Attention is your scarcest resource". That seems to me to be clearly a consequence of unlimited information.

Quite smaller. Postgres makes money too. But nothing close to what Oracle makes.
It marks new accounts (I think created in the last 14 days)
They're banning FOREIGN plant sales. There are import and customs controls in place that Amazon does not follow or require sellers to adhere to.

These mystery seeds are bringing increased scrutiny to imports, and Amazon is taking this move to reduce it's liability.

I'm sure they weighted the alternatives (e.g. wait for legal action, implement change) and determined the least expensive route was to just stop the business.
Legal compliance implies paying a lawyer experienced in the matters. I'm not a lawyer (and so this is free): a strict reading of your question does not appear to require software availablility under GPL. AGPL is different and it would. But there aren't a lot of details in the question and the details are important...again, pay a lawyer because that's just part of business.
Would you recommend a full dose 125-175ish by yourself for the first time?

Well if you were the victim of a false review would you shrug it off because the reviewer used the same rationalization you are proposing?
These days on the web, I think my brain is taking non-"professional" presentation as a positive signal.

Compare these two sites:

Before looking at the content, my bias is that the former is going to provide more reliable information.
It is sad that they have no other options for leisure than to abuse the transit system.

Important caveat: it isn't over yet. But I agree that it at least looks like we will be able to avoid that kind of carnage.
If this BS going on will end up in couple of months they might be able to move back soon. If not, living somewhere abroad without close ones is going to hurt them in the long run.

I moved out from my home country and in the place I live now people are nice, but I am never going to be one of them (so there are also not nice people, but it is easier to deal with not nice people from your own country).

Some people have it even worse, because I can go back to my own country and have my friends from school and family quite close by. There are people who are children of migrants that are still treated on the streets like they are not part of that society even though they grew up in that country. It gets even worse for them when they go to visit their parents country because they look familiar to people but when they speak they use English or broken local language which makes them foreign there as well. In the end they are not welcome in the place they grew up, they are not welcome in the place where they fit in by looks. They don't have a place in the entire world they can go and feel like home.
I was getting fed up with how every comment section on Reddit devolves into nonsense - either trolling, arguing, or stupid memes. Don't get me wrong. Memes are fine in the right place - like Twitter. It has twit in the name for a reason... The problem is, no matter what the subject is or how the conversation is going, it eventually devolves into rubbish. Call me an old crank, but I find it extremely tiresome. It's like being an adult, but choosing to hang around with children with limited attention spans. If I wanted that, I'd just take up a babysitting job and turn everything into a Card Against Humanity game.

So one night, I just said my farewells, passed on the reins for a couple channels I administered, deleted all my messages and logged off. I had more than a year of Reddit Gold, but meh... it wasn't worth sticking around, even though parts of the Lounge are alright for general chatter.

Prior to this, I had seen a few mentions to articles here, and I checked it out. I actually read more of the comment sections than the articles - exactly what I was looking for. People actually discussing stuff.

HN's subjects are on par with what I look for, and people actually being able to converse civilly without turning everything into a meme or a flame fest is a huge bonus.

So, here I am. Feel free to send me HN Gold if it gets invented.

You can't predict the future of any country of course, but you can certainly use its past to inform such a distinction. The moves by China and Russia, for example, to lengthen the reign of their leaders, while in the U.S., no matter what has happened to its leadership for the entirety of its history, no one has ever exceeded the time they were allowed before another election risked that tenure.
What is the name of this specific deficiency? I'm curious about it, given you state the rarity of 1 in 12 male (which equals to ~4% of population).
That’s a good point, presence is enough to cause me stress, since it means interruption can happen at any moment. I find it’s hard to motivate working on anything that might take more than 15 minutes. I guess that represents the average time to interruption or amount of time I can ask anyone to wait for me to finish what I’m doing.

It’s a shame since the most interesting stuff gets done when no one else is around, specifically at home after family’s gone to bed, but that could be each work day.
What do you mean by "problem"? Are you talking about obfuscation?
I tried to buy a subscription to Firefox VPN to support Firefox, but it's not available in my country even though their partner, Mullvad VPN, had no issue doing business with me.

I also just now noticed that Firefox VPN has changed name to Mozilla VPN, and I'm not really interested in funding all of Mozilla since I don't agree with how they spend their money.

In Belgium I’ve heard of quite some people using the website https://www.backmarket.be/ (I think it’s a French company) — if you look into how they work, they resell the output of a lot of smaller refurbishing outfits. Finding a way to scale up the refurbishing process would be great, if you go through with your plan I’m rooting for you!
Local corruption is the defacto mechanism CCP exploited to pull 500m out of poverty. Deng's entire model is harnessing corruption with bureaucratic incentives to forward development goals. This is posited by Yukon Huang, former World Bank director for China. He notes China is the only country where increased corruption is correlated to increased growth, everywhere else corruption leads to inefficient allocation. Also discussed in depth recently in China's Gilded Age by Yuen Yuen Ang, which breaks down corruption into four categories:

https://oxfamblogs.org/fp2p/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Yuen-...

Chinese corruption focuses on access money (steroids) to coordinate massive development projects and a cadres ability to graft is directly correlated to their projects success. The flip side is pervasive corruption is socially destabilizing as recognize in the 2000s, which is why Xi inaugurated his office with the anticorruption campaign. Yes, there was some power consolidation involved, but most of the effort was genuine - CCDI has investigated close to 2,000,000 officials, even Xi doesn't have that many enemies. Despite some terrible human rights campaigns that affect <1% of the population, this is very much the "better" timeline. The legal system is being improved, it's _not_ (<-edit) going to be modelled after the west, the most optimistic outcome is Singapore, whose political institutions has trained 50k+ Chinese officials until a few years ago. Incidentally, Singapore style single party dictatorship was about the best HK could have ever hoped for - people keep insisting HK's role as financial centre is predicated on it's western values yet in the same breath suggest HK's loss will be Singapore's gain. Authoritarianism + capitalism are absolutely compatible.

Your last paragraph hits the nail on the head, western institutions are failing. They don't have to be, but as long as they are, China will be more reassured in it's model.
This article is not about the title, rather it's a survey of societal changes over the last 200 or so years caused by Scientific and Engineering advances.

If you read it with that in mind, it's much more interesting. If you are looking for an answer to the idea in the title, you won't find it.
Isn't the whole point of a racist dog whistle that the only people who can hear it are racists. If you are hearing dog whistles everywhere, maybe you're the dog.

So why assume that studies of drugs have better technique? It's a lot easier to study exercise.

I think a lot of X correlates with Y studies are just kinda crap for a number of reasons, including that we don't have extremely good baselines -- e.g. continuous 24 hour monitoring across a wide population in a multitude of circumstances.
The problem isn't (always) giving a lot of change, it's being able to verify that the larger bills are genuine.

None of the fast food establishments near me will accept anything larger than a $20 and I'm positive there are folks going in there and ordering $40+ worth of food.
So, the fact that the battery is glued into the tablet the way it is, is part of why it was at a certain $ price and had the form factor it did.

Would you buy an iPad that cost say $100 more, and was twice as thick, so that you could repair it? I don't know, but that's not for me to mandate.

If people are willing to buy what is being offered, why put a requirement that they build something different, by law?

Let people/companies build what they think people will want, and have the market decide whether it survives. Nothing is stopping you from offering that product.
Except for 2000 which was an anomaly, and perhaps Truman vs. Dewey, can you point to a Presidential election in modern times that suddenly flipped overnight for the other candidate? I would say there's a < 5% chance of that happening now, unless there is corruption.
That seems like short-sighted thinking on the part of Amazon though. If I can I am now ordering anything expensive from the vendor directly and avoid Amazon. Just two years ago, I'd have even paid a little extra to have the purchase go through Amazon due to their fast shipping, easy returns and my Amazon store card given me 5% back on purchases. Just the last three months, I probably spent $2k-3k buying directly instead of via Amazon. That was 100% driven by not wanting to get fakes
