You have to realize the metagame being played here. The game that art collectors are playing is tax evasion. They want to buy something for $100 from a depressed cigarette smoker in tight jeans, then 20 years later say that it's worth $100 million and donate it to the Metropolitan Museum of Art for a mega tax writeoff. If they buy a 1 inch cube of 18/10 stainless steel, they can never claim that it's worth $100 million because the IRS would just say "you can buy that off McMaster Carr for $100." But with the above paragraphs attached, they get to claim that it's unique and not replaceable and therefore worth whatever they say it is.

I get it. We all want to be shown respect and courtesy. And how we and our team treat candidates is a reflection on the company; regardless of how accurate it is.

But I see recruiting as a team effort. The recruiter should sell you on the company, the manager should sell you on the job, and I should sell you on the quality of the team. If companies aren't meeting your expectations, you should let everyone in the process know.

I'm sure lots of technical employees have no idea what the recruitment process is like at a company, especially if they've been there for a long time.
I don't know much about Prelude, how many lines does your ~/.emacs have? (don't worry about excluding whitespace)

My vanilla .emacs only has 321, but I'm mostly just using org-mode and org-roam with a couple of extras.

Economic duress is recognized as duress. That the candidate is rejected from the job if too slow, having no job and no income to eat is quite a strong duress.

Obviously there would be extra context in practice, whether the candidate has a job, has already resigned, etc... The typical HN commenter in SF already working at FAANG might not be an ideal scenario ^^

Anyway, there's no fraud or misrepresentation, as long as the candidate intended to join the company at the time of signing. If anything, the candidate moving to another company is evidence that they were really looking to move, thus there was no misrepresentation on his intention to leave.
GP here. I agree with your point (and upvoted it to counter some downvotes). I am indeed concerned about the kind of power concentration that Apple has with its user base, and I certainly have disagreements with its App Store and its fight against Right to Repair.

At the same time, I also see a lot of value in the Apple products and services that I use, especially when combined with its stance on privacy (which is far ahead of any other large tech company). I’m just hoping, perhaps naively, that Apple doesn’t become like Google or Facebook or Amazon.
I tend to feel responsible too, but just like, "none of us is as dumb as all of us"; teamwork ensures that your hard work can always be ruined by someone else's incompetence.

You get used to it...
That only really applies to donations. There's much more to Twitch and live interactions than someone saying someone's name. Not to mention that Twitch is a largely free service for viewers if you don't want to pay.

The Twitch business model revolves around communities more than it does a streamer saying someone's name. I subscribe to streamers but the emoticons to use in other chats. Many people donate not just for someone to say their name but for their donation to get read out by text-to-speech engines. Some streamers even have AI driven TTS which has famous people voices.

The same can't really be said about things like Peloton.
I’ve long argued for massive estate tax rates on large estates in order to incentivize behavior like this. I have no problem at all with Bezos being worth $200 billion (or whatever it is now), but it’s this dynastic wealth that I find borderline sickening. Why in the hell should the Rockefeller’s of today be billionaires??? Also, these giant charitable foundations/family offices are similarly off-putting, as they are setup as semi-perpetual institutions that often only make the minimum 5% distribution annually. (Another fix would be to jack that up to 25% upon death) Big estate taxes seem to solve for a lot of problems with appropriate compromises.
A lot of people only donate to reduce their tax bill.

That makes no sense. If I get to deduct a donation, then when I donate $1000, it really only costs me $700. But it still costs me $700.

I would have more money if I never donated.
Right, the whole point of therapy is that you're talking to someone that genuinely cares about you who is not a robot.

I drove from the Idaho panhandle to SF on Sunday. 1000 miles of abysmal air.

Most of the journey had reported 500+ AQI values, with some areas visibly much, much worse.

The worst was along the Columbia River gorge where the Deschutes flows into the Columbia (2nd photo in my tweet)

I'm not sensitive to poor air, and I was running my car on recirculated air, but at one point I actually started wearing my KN95 as I was driving.

It's pretty hard to believe that I've been writing Java now for over two decades (not continuously mind you, but I'm not currently in a gap either) and with no signs of slowing down.

I've been writing Java for longer than I've been driving, and way longer than drinking actual java. Geez. There's a certain fluency I have with this language that I don't have with any other language, not even Python/PHP/JavaScript/C#, all languages that I have 1k+ hours experience in.
What's your take on serverless architecture?
HN community, we've gone serverless at my startup for the last 2.5 years, and I've seen its advantages on scalability, dev velocity, and cost efficiency. Like any other new technology, it's not a cure-all solution and may not be the right fit for some applications. But I'd argue that in the long-term it will be the de-facto solution for a vast majority of cases.

I've published a write-up on serverless architecture, and plan to write more. I'd love to get HN community's take on serverless. Do you use serverless components in your organization? In what capacity? Do you have any gotchas or things you'd do differently if starting over?

I'm replying to the parent comment about AMD pre-open-source drivers. So we're already 5 years ago.

I had my Linux install in a VM for a number of years because fglrx was an aggravating experience (unstable, often broke on kernel updates) to use and radeon had abysmal performance on my 290x. To the point that my laptops 540m (on nouveau) would outperform the 290x under linux.

I still have that 290x in one of my systems, and since amdgpu supported it it has been a very pleasant experience. But even that took a while as they started with 3xx and supported the 4xx cards before going back for the 2xx cards.
I downvoted, not because of what he said or how he said it, but because there's basically no chance that the comment will lead to an enlightening conversation.
So the thing is... tax dollars go more to dropping bombs on civilians in the Middle East and to ICE and the NSA because that's what people overwhelmingly want. I guarantee you that if public opinion shifted hard against these things, we'd see less funding over the years toward them.

But it doesn't. Regardless of what we say here, the majority of the US wants a big military, and wants hard immigration controls.

Then it becomes a different argument: should we tax the wealthy more if it means the money will go to government initiatives that the majority seems to want, even though a minority of us believe that those things are largely bad for society and the world, and represent short-term thinking that is a result of bad risk assessment? Essentially, should we let the use of this money be directed by the will of the people (rather than a few ultra-rich people) even if we believe the will of the people is often wrong?

I don't have great answers to this. As another commenter mentioned, the billionaire-philanthropist system is good when we have people like Feeney, but fails when we have people like the Kochs. Do we have a net excess of Feeneys in the world, or Kochs? And even if we have the former, is that still a good thing; could we get more fair or equitable outcomes if we did let electorate decide how to allocate these funds? And even if we couldn't, is it antithetical to democratic values to go against the will of the people, even if the people are wrong? And if so, does that matter? I tend to think it does, but I can see the argument for both sides.
The 12.9 is kind-of a class of it's own.

There is no GC, and the language is indeed simpler than rust.

In case of Tesla we have pretty well document case of short-sellers doing exactly what Elon said. Paid anti-Tesla articles were absolutely a thing that happened. Not to mention a constant stream of other FUD and accusations of fraud.
I think a big part of the Feeney story is that he didn't just donate money. He got involved. He took an interest and made sure he was making a difference, or at least was doing his best to make a difference. He gave his time and his personal effort.

I remember watching a documentary on him some time ago. There was some issue he was interested in. I think it involved a community in Ireland. He put his money into the issue, but it didn't have the desired outcome. He looked closely at what they were doing and decided the strategy wasn't a failure, so he committed some astounding amount more with specific strings attached. His strings forced others to put skin in the game with him. Then they worked together towards their desired outcome.

How do you make sure that your donation to the blind center will get that roof repaired? Grab a hammer.

It is not a lie to accept a later offered better deal. The better offer might never come through.

Would you really begrudge someone who left for an opportunity that is better for them?

You are mixing up loyalty with persons with loyalty to companies. The former is important the latter is foolhardy.

A view from another side. I am not a recruiting specialist, but have been retained by clients to "screen the candidates for someone like me". Greed and avarice typically win, so I tend to accept these follow-up gigs.

The types of engineering that I do are not the most technically difficult. But it is a very small piece of the engineering pie, so there are not many out there with my combination of skill-set and education and experience. That is, I may not be representative of what the client probably needs in the long-term, as I was hired by the client to solve a particular and unique problem.

So I typically screen for someone under 45 (I am over 60) that has done and is interested in certain types of math, programming, test, and hardware design. This is how interviews need to be structured - and just devolving algorithms and citing random information and doing circuit node calculations from schematics will be less likely to identify the engineer that you need.

As for the problems cited by the writer - they are relevant, but are structural and should be self evident to anyone out of school for more than one or two years.
Depending on your needs RFC 4180 might be your CSV standard.

>If there is individual notice on the file because the file is a work individually licensed under MIT, removing it from the file is removing it from an MIT protected work in violation of the license.

Why is that in violation of the license? The only condition specified in the MIT/Expat license is this:

>The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.

Each file is not "the Software". "The Software" means the Zig/Zen projects as a whole. The "above copyright notice and this permission notice" is included in the copy of Zen. Therefore, it is in compliance.

I wrote in another comment:

>In addition, the Zen headers say "This project may be licensed under the terms of the ConnectFree Reference Source License" and "See the LICENSE file at the root of this project for complete information". This statement is enough to imply that the project as a whole is covered by the specified LICENSE file.
Boring under roads is a big market. Suppose you need to upgrade a water or sewer line but the main runs on the other side of a road. If it's a very minor road made of asphalt, cut and cover is an option. If it's a significant road paved with concrete, boring is usually the only option and it's expensive.

All kinds of services need to cross roads and the need is ubiquitous. The market is somewhat like the power wall for battery technology.
As an avid cyclist, I often sometimes bike indoors because it's easier to get the workout I want with exact wattages and intervals. A wahoo kickr or other direct drive unit + zwift/trainerroad/whatever.

Don't think Apple will compete with any of those soon.
Same experience for me moving from Google Play Music to Spotify. Their UI is missing incredibly basic features, and isn't even consistent across platforms.

- Want to clear everything in your queue and listen to something else? You need to select each queued song and remove it manually.

- Adding a song to the queue, OK. Adding a playlist to the queue, impossible.

- Want to change your profile name? You can't do that on the website, just on the mobile app.

- Want to edit the description of a playlist? You can't do that on either the mobile app or the website. I was only able to do this in a Linux desktop app

And those are just the ones off the top of my head.
Out of curiosity, why were you given testosterone?
You're probably right. My comment was confusing so I edited it to make it more coherent. I struggle with writing, so I appreciate the feedback to improve it.

However, regarding your comment

> In the beginning you think it's an ideological issue. Later on you acknowledge that cost might be an issue

I don't see these as contradictory. Ideology affects what people are willing to spend. As someone who cares about the environment I don't mind spending more on recycled plastic to reduce waste. Most of my peers would not spend a cent more if they don't have to.

We're thinking about the visualisation story. At the moment we use notebooks with the IJava kernel to explore things (our tutorials are jupyter notebooks), but we're still working on the plotting angle.
This looks excellent, will take a bit of time to go through and understand. The announcement blog is really helpful actually and explains the problem you're solving well (and one I am intimately familiar with so I see value here).

Congratulations!
Technically, from their SEC financial statements, they recorded $36,000 in revenue from installing solar panels at Trevor Milton's house.

I went back and looked at the details so we could talk apples/apples. I calculated it out as $1.30 per 20 series foot, so $2.60 for a foot of 2040, landed. It was $190 in extrusion, $336 for shipping. The only available shipping was air because of the "small" quantity. They recommended that trying to ship it would likely lead to delays and possible loss because it was so small. But if you were buying a ton or more it would decrease the shipping component.

It seemed like an opportunity to get a bunch in and resell it, but that's not something I'm looking to do.
Well, I think what they're saying is that they'd rather have bugs in code they've written than in code that is written by other people and in another language, and for which they don't control the patching pipeline.

If RocksDB had had no bugs, they wouldn't have needed to write Pebble.

I'm not sure what the actual name of the phenomenon is but I've heard it call 'wife-name-last name' syndrome.

Basically, the uber rich want to be seen as something more than just money. Guys like Anschutz and whatnot. There seems to be a pattern where they get a new shiny glass and steel building with a bunch of sick kids in it, and then they put the wife's name, an ampersand, his name, and the last name in big 3-D letters on the side. Likely it's a tax writeoff.

Also, not to be too cynical, but it's not a bad thing overall. The money could be sitting in the Caymans afterall.
I usually solve this by giving the big G (or the big Duck) more info to work with in the query: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=pep+pdf+mac
Overhead is a bad thing to look at: http://overheadmyth.com/

If an organization cures blindness for $20 through cataract surgeries in developing nations, and another spends $40,000 to train a seeing eye dog for a single individual, we are looking at ratios of 1:1000 in terms of effectiveness. The amount spent on 'overhead' is irrelevant!
I've just spent the last few hours going through some FreeCAD tutorials. I love it. This is so much fun. I've been hesitating to get a 3D printer because I haven't touched CAD since college... but I could definitely get into this.

As a consumer, why would I want something like this written in Go vs. Rust?

Is it just that Rust is really good with developer relations? Because it feels like to me that all new foundational technology is safer and faster in a language like Rust, and things written in Go should be higher up the food chain.
But there were no legitimate reasons to believe that Tesla committed any kind of fraud.
The sort of pre-recorded experiences Apple is offering here have always been subject to the 30% App Store fee. The P2P option was a loosening/ clarification of the rules.
If you're asking for a example you'd be more likely to use, JSON is a pretty good example. The GSON interface [0] has isArray()/getAsJsonArray(), isObject()/getAsJsonObject(), etc. for determining the type of an element, but this isn't type-safe. Pattern matching is a more convenient way to work with raw JSON:

public int countNodes(JsonElement el) {
return switch(el) {
case JsonObject obj ->
obj.entrySet().stream()
.mapToInt(e -> countNodes(e.getValue())).sum()
case JsonArray arr ->
arr.stream().mapToInt(::countNodes).sum()
default -> 1
}
}

$500 stationary bikes are crap. Apple Fitness is only slightly cheaper than Peloton standalone - $10 vs $13 - so I don't think that would be a factor for many people.

The main drive of Peloton if you aren't buying their bike is the instructors and high quality classes - I struggle to imagine many people would care more about watch integration than class quality, and I don't think Apple will be able to win out on the latter anytime soon.
The best rule of thumb I've seen for this is that unless incrementing a value makes sense, probably use a text field unless you have some other really good reason. So: auto-incremented IDs yes, arbitrary IDs that you don't control no, phone numbers no, SSNs/PINs/ZIP codes, also no.
Because the default option is a poor choice for many (if not most) users, and it's the option used to show the base price. In practice, all prices are $100-150 higher than listed when people actually get around to buying. It's a misleading tactic to get people in the door (so to speak), and then upsell them.
The most poignant and human part of his retelling, was the stranger's smile while he was waiting in the car. That is what made him start moving away from the darkness.

It's such a seemingly banal action, but so fundamentally human, in which we acknowledge one-another's humanity, and show appreciation for it and ours.

Smile folks. It doesn't cost anything, and it just might be the spark needed to light someone's life.
politicians do it all the time and sometimes they don't even wait till who they name it after has passed.

I would much rather someone have something named for them who donated their own wealth than a political party go around stamping their members names everywhere.

I would much rather have the naming of government buildings to be never named for any politician.
I don't think Chuck Feeney set out to be purposely secretive as much as anonymous and focused on the money doing the work. I think stories like this one in Forbes highlight he understands the necessity of good leadership by talking about the mission after it's accomplished, rather than looking for recognition during the process. Gates & Buffet are role models for the getting started; Feeney for how you finish.
You're right that it's not solely because of that. But I think it's probably the main reason, by far. It's almost impossible to bet on human vanity and lose :-)
A lot of people don't understand how tax deductions work, and assume that they get the full value. Also, as noted below, it has a PR benefit while also giving you a 30% "discount".
Unless it can pair with power sensors for wattage I don't think I could see any cyclists try this. If one's dedicated enough to use a program like this during workout, there are far better existing options.
t1 and t2 should be (user defined?) types so I would imagine LR(1) should be able to disambiguate between a generic function and the less than operator.

Not saying the grammar would be context-free though.
> In the US you still do some reading aloud but it's very limited

It's been 20 years, but I remember just going "Ugh" at how slow some of my classmates would read when reading out loud. Many of them would read slower than half the speed that they would normally talk.

I read much faster than I can talk, and when reading something to someone, I often find myself paraphrasing things on the fly. I don't say the words on the page, but a reinterpretation to something shorter.
