You (and the article) are ignoring smaller companies. In those, you often have the salary negotiations with the owner, or a partner. Your salary comes (effectively) out of their own pocket, and recruiting you is quite possibly a significant and risky investment for the entire company.

In these sorts of situations, negotiation is much harder on a personal level, since the company is not a faceless entity. The company does have a face, that's the face you have to look into when you state your salary request.

On the other hand, it's also harder to accept being underpaid, because if you don't get paid what you're worth, you know the extra profits will go (almost) directly into the pocket of a person you will see daily at work.
Enlightenment to me means the realise the nature of the universe and the nature of Man in it. Also to realize the nature of your happiness and desires, and the extent of your control over it.

To me, enlightenment in Europe picked up pace in the 1700s. It most certainly involved religious reform and the generation of new cults.

I think you are confusing the buddhist definition of enlightenment with other possible definitions. Perhaps you even believe that the buddhist definition is somehow final and absolute.

The buddhist definition of enlightenment lies far from mine, and both lie far from what a devout Christian might consider enlightenment.
Technical debt is a great metaphor because it is easy to understand for management.

Calling code "a mess" does not really communicate why it should be improved. Who cares if it is a mess if it works? What developers actually mean with "a mess" is that the code gets increasingly harder to maintain which incurs cost down the road. Technical debt is a good metaphor to explain this.
The issue is that the non-salary costs routinely make up an additional 50-100% of a head count and many of these are fixed. Thus to replace a team of 4 with a team of 5, you might need to negotiate their salary component down 30% not 20%. Thus the manager hiring the team of 4 appears to be paying 42% more.
I, for one, am glad that the dirty laundry of the US army and government is out. These documents all show how dangerous and violent the US really is, even to their own allies, and leaks from other sources have done nothing but confirm that.

How can you expect Assange to leak documents from China and Russia? Just because he has someone on the inside in the US doesn't mean he's got dirt on every other country in the world. Whataboutism doesn't help anyone's case against Assange.

This entire extradition theater is little more than the US trying to cover up for getting caught. The fabrication of rape charges shows that there's no way he's going to get any fair trial. When he will eventually get to defend his actions in court, his fate is already sealed.

The damage wikileaks has done to the US is self-inflicted, really. It you don't want people to get mad at you for massacring an Afghan wedding, for spying on your allies and even on your own citizens, don't blame the whistle-blowers. Those things shouldn't have happened in the first place.
That's what I thought as well. How do we know that it isn't a first-one-wins game, ie where a bunch of candidates have a reasonable chance of developing multicellular life, but whoever gets there first uses the advantage to out compete all the others?
An unusual way of building a high-quality startup, super fast
If they are both doing similar things and one is faster that's still significant. So Python's i/o is faster than Ruby's.
I can stand for two hours no problem. If the deal is to make it uncomfortable, don't be surprised people dislike it.

This sounds like someone bad at moderation punishing not healthy team members. Our hoping people are not fit enough to stand for long.
I went to the repo and read the license. The article made me think it was sold but open. Lots of FOSS software has purchase options. That alone doesn't indicate if something is foss or not. The license confused me, as I stated but they have another file "Contributing.md" that explicitly states it is not a FOSS license. Now I just wonder why anyone would work for them for free.

The post linked here has the section "The question of open source" and it states "While their source code is open, they do have commercial licenses and cost money (though a modest sum)." That is where they link to the github repo. I'd say all that wording also muddies the waters. I guess it's "open" in the sense that you can read it. But I don't consider that to be open. I guess they are drawing a distinction between FOSS and "open". I can't argue that but I still think the way it's written is confusing. (or maybe I'm just not current on how these terms are being more commonly used.)
IMHO - We want to encourage people to write and share these blog posts. Its now fixed and would be polite to remove the links.

> Would I really want to miss the opportunity to work for an exciting company over some marginal sum of money?

The reply to this seems obvious. Do you really want to miss the opportunity to hire a strong and promising candidate over some marginal sum of money?

Hiring is HARD. Hiring good engineers is almost impossible.
The Emacs docs are absolutely horrendous, they read like they're written for the core dev team. Useless as an introduction, everyone ends up on Xah Lee's site.

They could be completely fixed by just providing examples of all these esoteric elisp functions.
What features make it a game changer for you? For me it felt like just a small quality of life improvement, but I've never delved that deeply into its feature set.

I would like to emphasize that when you use AnyCrop, none of your images are sent to any servers. They are processed entirely on your device. I think that's extremely important & valuable from a privacy perspective, and it also makes it a bit more convenient. Uploading & downloading the images would just introduce delays and make it less useful.
Anyone else realize how random it is to have a (potential) planet orbit a black hole in such a specific way that it eclipses it ...> when viewed from fkn Earth.. 20 something million light years away??

lol . nuts

Same kinda 'randomness' provides for near-perfect (100%) solar-eclipses from Earth's surface .. Meaning if the Moon orbited any further or closer... it would not have the angular diameter from E's surface to perfectly block-out the angular diameter of the sun as viewed from Earth
And you had to ask if it's still written in PHP?
Oh wow. Thanks for pointing this out. Even the first three links of the article are "What Greta Thunberg Forgets About Climate Change", "What Economists Can Teach Epidemiologists", and "An Avalanche of Failure" which is complaining about lockdowns again.

Then I looked up this "American Institute for Economic Research" and it's a conservative political non-profit dedicated to creating "a society based on property rights and open markets". That type of naming, trying to pass themselves off as a neutral research institute is some Prager U. level grossness.

As you said, the whole article is clearly politically motivated BS.
I grew up in Czechoslovak Socialist Republic.

The fundamental problem was unproductivity, which resulted in shortages of consumer goods and queuing for things such as sports shoes.

The system boasted enormous production of coal and steel, but was much worse in producing "less interesting" items such as "glue that worked", "washing machine that would not vibrate like hell" or even enough toilet paper. At one point, we had a shortage of sanitary towels.

Dissatisfaction with those elementary things contributed to the Velvet Revolution much more than lack of political freedoms. Plenty of people can live with their mouths shut, but they start getting really resentful if their new shoes leak.

Huge credit to Craft team! A proprietaty product being chosen for so heavily open-source leaning project is a big win.

I'm bad at analogies, but it's like a minority person took top position in a big company with strong discrimination culture in the XX century.
Kill it again
No disagreement. It's why the problem needs to be fixed, although it's not a silver bullet (the compiler bootstrapping is still vulnerable).
In the simple case, yes. But what if it’s a merge commit? What if there is a conflict and I actually want the result to split into two clean diffs that I’ll specify (so that both compile, of course). What if I want it inserted somewhere in the middle of a branch? What if the branch doesn’t exist yet but I want to do this to a remote branch without having to check out something new locally? What if I want to apply the change but lie about the author?

Git is able to do all these things, and I am actually quite pleased that it can support all of these strange workflows. But it still isn’t at all obvious how you’d get these to work if you know the operation to apply a commit was “git cherry-pick”. (I have also noticed that “git rebase” is often a, if not the answer to every “how do I fix my tree” question. But it’s certainly not advertised as such, which is beyond me.)
For the time being, it's a giant billboard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7SFTm7IebU

Kind of strange to see such a large LED display running nothing but eyecatch and PSA's. JCDecaux or Clear Channel Outdoor would be using it in a much more efficient manner.
Ignore that, it's just bad marketing. Doom is a packaged distribution and it's waaaaay better than Spacemacs (and much easier to modify). Spacemacs is a very poorly written piece of software in comparison. Doom is moving much faster as a result.

Swift is adding their own as you can see, they’ve been using Foundation until now because it’s really not that bad of an interface. Also, I disagree with the claim that Rust has first-party wrappers, it barely has first-party anything to be honest.
Guess that in 2012 the experience was poor. Maybe this website wasn’t responsive.
the conversation in this thread completely changed my view of formal verification tools. I used to think of them as "code" verifier. I know realize they're actually "whiteboard drawings" verifiers. Which makes it much more usable right away.

I believe my mistake was due to the fact that most articles on the subject start by showing you a faulty piece of code.
Why should a senior engineer on one team be reviewed along the same criteria as a senior engineer on another team? Do you judge a kernel developer the same way you'd judge a Javascript expert? Fundamentally, it comes down to whether the person is helping their team accomplish its goals. And the best way to do that is to ask the team, rather than try to cast about for some kind of nonexistent "objective" value metric that allows you to rank every single developer in your organization.
At nearly 7,000 words, you probably don’t want to try reading this on an iDevice

I.e. the usual smoke and mirrors.
My explanation would look like this.

If you are in flat land (a beginner), you see mountains as mountains. Well defined features on the horizon.

Once you start climbing, you concentrate on the details of the concrete mountain in front of you (rocks, moss, shrubs, ice, snow, caves) and your inner concept of a mountain changes into a collection of such details.

But once you summit, mountains around look like well defined features on the horizon again. Just like from the flat land of the beginners, only the perspective has changed.
+1. Knowing what you have to do is a start; prioritisting is even better. Going on to then scheduule those tasks actually frees you from having to keep all that state in your head. That decreases your anxiety and promotes your ability to do deep work.
Probably worth adding a 2018 to the title here and noting that clearly the acquisition of Workflow by Apple ended up as ‘shortcuts’ on iOS.
In that case, all is well indeed.

The problem I was referring to, is when one is expected to fill a PDF that was not built to be filled, such as the scan of a paper form.
My wife grew up around Moscow during the last phase of the USSR and she said that although there wasn't that much stuff, there was enough for everyone.
People complemented any minor shortcomings by growing stuff in their gardens.

I have no doubt that countries in the periphery of major communist states had it worse... Just like countries in the periphery of capitalist states have it worse today.

If you ask members of the communist elite how communism was, they would probably tell you it was amazing. If you ask the lowest class of capitalists, they will tell you that capitalism is horrible - These days even many members of the middle class will tell you that capitalism is horrible; unfortunately the US capitalist system can't drain China so much anymore (now that China has become an economic superpower) so now it has to drain its own citizens locally.

Why do you think democrats are so keen on increasing immigration? You think they actually want more Elon Musks and Sudar Pichais to compete with them? They want more wage slaves to drain from! Elon and Sundar are immigrant bait!

Americans are going to find out for the first time what capitalism is really about.

There's a hilarious map projection on the lobby TV in the 8th image. Massive unified red Korean peninsula (practically the size of Australia on the map), tiny sliver for the Japanese islands, and places Korea at the absolute center with all the other continents warped around it. Brilliant.
You are totally right. Being an emacs user for 10 years, I suggest vscode when people ask what editor to choose.

While preconfigured Spacemacs, Doom and others are doing a good job in turning emacs into OOB editor, they still require some tinkering with lisp, while in vscode you just install plugins and you are done.
This is why a lot of folks talk about there being two industrial revolutions, with the boundary between them demarcated by the cheap and plentiful steel generated by the Bessemer process.
Why should they reveal confidential intelligence? Does any government ever really do? Its stupid to do so.

Its tiktok job to show and prove that the suspicion is not the case.
I think it's actually nice to have something looking good to look good (for propaganda) compared to displaying ads for Coca-Cola.
Thank you.

Persona was supposed to be a standard, not a paid-for service.
The first two lines of your example interact with the standard library.
Your Ruby snippet is slower for two reasons:

- IO.foreach is lazy, but then you call `Array#grep` on it which allocate a huge Array
- `grep` populate the "last_match" object, `String#match?` is much faster.

Try rifraf's snippet: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24597067, it should be as fast as Python.
WP is php, and it tends to take a ton of plugins of various quality, vendors and support to get it to where you want it. Last I looked at it, it didn’t even support multi-language out of the box.
"other salary tools out there" -> I am developing one of them, called PredictSalary (https://predictsalary.com). To put in a nutshell, I try to utilize Deep Learning to predict salary range from job opportunities.
The long term support of that CMS also matters. Exported HTML/CSS/JS files look more and more like binary blobs.

If you can't edit those pages in 10 years from now, without yet another expensive migration, then in retrospect it will rightfully seem like a poor decision.
> It's a lot easier to get a pay bump when you're negotiating the offer, than it is to get a raise/promotion

That's absolutely key and always true.

This is also compounded by the fact that companies often have salary bands and that annual salary increases are usually a percentage of the existing salary.

So negotiating the best starting salary is very important and has effects years into the job.
I'm not sure the first is all that random. There seem to be a lot of planets and black holes likely aren't all that rare.

The second is a stupendous coincidence, and if the Earth ever becomes part of a galactic civilisation we'll have a very impressive draw for alien tourists.

Of course it might also be a business card left by the entities that engineered this reality but... probably not.
Emacs has lasted 40 years with a stable (but small) market share. It's outlived every other editor with the exception of Vim. It will probably outlive Atom, and it looks like it's going to outlive Netbeans.

I'd argue stubborn resistance to most new concepts regardless of their sheen is a contributor. I think people underrate that as a trait. You want some bastions. Loads of it is insane but they also don't make many new mistakes.
TBH I was trying to find a good photo of the reception area - the link I chose doesn't show it properly. This photo is better: http://www.uj.fme.vutbr.cz/lspct/images/continental2.jpg (Fun fact: The triangular motif on the ceiling is a "protected cultural monument")
Yes, basically.

Modern frameworks like React are powerful, but complicated enough to put them way out of reach of anyone not a developer.

The high and low-ends of web frameworks seems to be splitting further apart - complicated but powerful, or simple but restricted like Squarespace.

There’s a lot of talk here and other places about how the modern web is boring and it’s become a monoculture, but there’s not a lot of talk about how it’s become so much harder for a non-coder, or at least a committed amateur to make powerful websites themselves.
What about chopping water?
Stress has never been proven to be a link, though it is often repeated. Being male does sometimes make things worse and males are more likely to have a more progressive form of the disease than females. (The vast majority of patients are females: I know they suspect an interplay of hormones creating different outcomes, but I don't know if they've proven it).

As far as progression, that is something that happens to some people. Some folks never have the relaspses and time in between and others, the disease turns into progressive form. If scientists haven't figured out why some are more progressive or why some folks' MS turns progressive, I highly doubt looking at one's own life is going to find a key to progression. I'm not the parent here, but I can't see the point in such a thing.
How does this even matter now when TikTok has successfully partnered with Oracle? They are now free to operate.
Yes Clojure is the only language which surpasses Ruby in composability.
The main problem with emacs is that while it's praised for being a programmable lisp environment, it's not a really good one.

It doesn't have widgets, decent rendering engine with scene graph and hardware accel, it's single threaded, the language is clunky. You really can't make decent applications in emacs, only text with embedded images and primitive buttons, that blocks and stalls all the time.

It really needs some major update.
China (or some other totalitarian regime) would probably threaten to shoot down the sattelites if Starlink didn't let the Chinese government do man-in-the-middle.

TL;DR: The W3C Redesign Project has selected Craft CMS over Wordpress.

From the CMS strategy and requirements document [1]:

> At a minimum, it’s expected W3C will have 10-30 people editing content on a new CMS, though this may be more.

Why is the CMS used by the internal marketing team even under consideration for a web site redesign? This has the feel of busy work to me.

VS Code is the modern emacs.
Before Wordpress my go to CMS was Drupal, but it suffered from the same problems. It took 3 years to even port the most standard and most used plugins to the new version.

I think its a bad sign if there is such a massive opposition to the direction and it is disregarded completely.

And like you said, once you start using atypical situations, it becomes a unnecessary complicated affair. Luckily you can dismiss Gutenberg, thats the only upside.
> Yes, I should have been more precise: "modulo some power of two, which is not a prime, unless we're talking about 2^1".

If you want to be even more nit-picky, 2^0 might also work. But whether your definition of a field admits fields with only a single element is just a question of taste, that is even less important or deep than whether your flavour of natural numbers includes 0 or not.
