It's human nature. You spend your life being an expert at something but as you get older you also get to watch it slowly slip away. That sucks, I don't care who you are.

It doesn't stop me from moving forward (it hasn't yet) but there are those occasional days...
I could see that. Especially if you read it.

The premise centers around the idea of a Chautauqua, so I think it does really well as an audio book.

>people should be strategic about their efforts, and direct them toward whatever opportunities are available in your life that offer a return for little risk.

I believe you summed up what he did to achieve his "luck."

He said he made $6k before the influencer came along. Seems pretty good for a start.

And because he has made strategic, low-risk efforts in the past, this opportunity actually became possible. The influencer never would have gotten a whiff of this otherwise.
Ask HN: Keep November politics off of HN
Looks like the threads have started rolling in.

Dang can we keep US-centric politics off of HN for the next 2 months?

November of 2016 on HN was shitflinging without any benefit to anyone. Empty, useless outrage. News outlets have already started to champion whichever candidate they are aligned with for this November. If anyone needs their political news/drama fix, there is no shortage of it elsewhere.

Thank you ahead of time.
Did you mean "expect" or "except?"
A cellular company faces disconnects more often than others, and can plausibly attest that customers prefer to be called back when disconnected, since the company is the provider for disconnect support — when other companies might not be able to without permission.

It helps that they can link your caller ID conclusively to your account since it’s their own systems.

Why the Google hate in this case? I'm in love with my chromecast I've had for the past 6 years with no issues, and this seems like a great upgrade for less than I paid.
That really doesn't sound like the city's problem. Perhaps with a fairer wage, fewer drivers will feel like they need to work for both companies. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Considering how the last couple calls went, I have no problem with my power company hearing me drop a havana omelette. I'd consider that a feature.
That's easier to deal with, because the maintainers can just reject the PRs and not have to worry that the spammer will get goodies from Digital Ocean if they don't mark it as "invalid" or "spam" or some other magic tag. And as a maintainer, high on my list of "reasons to reject" would be "bugging me about a PR from a random person I've never had a submission from before and who has no other track record of contributions to open source projects".
Sometimes it feels like software development has devolved into a sea of posturing and marketing oneself. It's faintly depressing to see reminders of that trend which are as stark as this.

It's a fitting allegory, though. This contest has used free T-shirts to solicit open-source contributions in the same way that the industry has used high salaries to solicit creative and impactful contributions.

Now imagine that you're trying to fill a position, and these pull requests are analogous to candidate interviews. You might start to have some sympathy for people who believe that we need some sort of professional certification for the trade.

It's unfortunate considering the democratizing promise of low-cost computing, but how else can you effectively deal with this "market for lemons" caused by large swaths of people acting in blatant bad faith?

Is this feature going to be backported to the earlier Pixel phones as well? I definitely don't want to get the Pixel 5:

1. $699

2. No XL variant, only 6"

3. Soli was removed (most under-utilized tech)

4. Same cameras as my Pixel 3

5. Mediocre SoC
For booking complex, non-fungible services (like Doctor's appointments, plumbers, etc) phones are great for high-bandwidth communication for follow-up questions, triage, etc. Phones also allow a certain element of salesmanship which doesn't come through on a form, which a big reason why service providers like them.
They were from Oracle too.
Let the individual decide what to do. It does not matter how YOU FEEL about it, what matters is what the worker wants to do. If the person doesn't want to work for the low rates then they're free to leave and do something else. Most people working for gig apps are doing it for side money anyways. It isn't a full time job for them and gig apps were never intended to be a full time job.

If you want to help the workers then you can create jobs in the community and increase the demand for labor in general.
You need to write a bridge compiler in C89 that can compile newer variants of C, and then feed another compiler's source code into it. These are implicitly written whenever new C features are added to compilers (can't depend on features that don't exist yet) but will be destroyed fairly quickly (why not dogfood our own features?). Furthermore, the compilers most people are going to want are either GCC or LLVM/clang, both of which have non-standard extensions which you'll likely also need to support.

However, a much more efficient approach would be to add support for older architectures to a modern compiler. Then you can build binaries via cross-compilation, or cross-compile the compiler itself to get a modern self-compiler on an old system.
Not to say that competition isn't also relevant, but I think locality is still necessary for osmosis of ideas/thoughts.

I think both Marijuana and gay marriage legalization started because of a small group of like-minded people that found it acceptable and were able to spread that ideology enough so that eventually the state could vote on them. For those particular examples, competition doesn't really kick in until it's already been experimented with, but then it really speeds up the spread for sure.

Looking at the timeline of cannabis laws [1], recreational use in particular, Colorado basically tipped the ice berg. My point is that the organic spread of new and/or controversial ideas is localized before competition kicks in.

In 1985ish I did a silly Forth prog on a Speccy for parent's day at school. I'm just an honest syadmin these days but I think I made text along the lines of "This is a line of text" or "Today is Parent's Day" smoothly bounce around the screen and change colours in about 20 LOC. Please be charitable, this was 35 years ago and I'm no programmer and still lack imagination.
Most companies have a large vision. The creation of a far reaching vision/mission is a standard management technique that allows people to judge actions based on whatever it falls in line with the (long term) vision.

This is taught in business school. It’s not a Silicon Valley thing.
Has logitech ever been been good at updates in general? Why would a peripheral company even be good at home entertainment? I'd agree that Nvidia's connection to home entertainment is just as vague, but they still sound much more reliable to me than Logitech.

And as much as people love bringing up Google deprecating stuff, I still trust them far more on updating this than any outside company.
Tens of millions?

No one thinks that Apple has sold tens of millions of TVs.

https://macdailynews.com/2020/09/02/strategy-analytics-apple...

The global population of TV and video streaming devices has now exceeded 1.1 billion, with Apple TV / tvOS holding 2% share, according to the latest market share analysis from Strategy Analytics’ TV Streaming Platforms service.

And this is from MacdailyNews. Definitely not
an anti Apple rag. Apple has been calling the AppleTV a “hobby” for over a decade.

There is a reason that Apple is making deals left and right to get AppleTV (the app) on competing platforms and now they are making deals with Roku to support Airplay.
Ah, I've used this tool quite a lot to bridge my knowledge gap that I have with the git command-line, like rewording commits that are a few commits deep.

A GUI helps for discovery of features and Gitup is amazing at it. I wholeheartedly recommend it.

You are right IIRC for most companies; my DID provider does charge incoming (toll/toll-free differing)/outgoing (flat rate) calls different rates.

That being said, are we not talking about AT-and-freaking-T? :) Surely they'll've been able to work things out. I think, anyway.
Yes, at least partly. Payments for mileage are definitely a separate thing from regular wages, because you own your car and your boss needs to pay you for wear and tear on it. If payment for time spent driving is also mentioned in the law, that's probably on top of their regular wage, though there could be an exception for people who's job is only driving.
If you are a fan of Calvin and Hobbes or Peanuts then definitely check out Mafalda.
Whoa. Many, many years ago I started idly hacking on a similar project with similar ideas and an identical name. I've always intended to return to it in my Copious Spare Time, which of course means I never did and probably never will.

When I started exploring this I registered the gitbug.org domain - would you be interested in using it for your project?
This is a solution to a problem that shouldn't exist. It's bad for everyone for people to be on hold. Many organizations have started doing the smart thing: asking users for a number and calling them back when it's their turn. This should be the SOP.
Who searches on Google for the movies and TV shows they want to watch on their TV?
Unfortunately if you’re Dell and you try to do this you actually have to pay for every song they play. But first you have to know what song they are playing.

The obnoxious part is where companies like Apple who actually choose and license nice music play it in such a way it sounds absolutely horrible on the phone. What a waste!
But at 50$, it's a really decent price point for getting a smart tv + controller experience.
Makecode now has drag-and-drop programming for Python; it's a little different in that it doesn't have the blockly pane, but has a palette of Python commands to drop into the code window. It can also switch between Python & Python (and JS). It makes a pretty good transition path from block coding.
They managed to bloat up MSN pretty badly in its latter Windows Live Messenger incarnations.
And now begins the arm race between Google and increasingly obnoxious and deceptive hold music.
The death of HTML imports killed web components for me.

With HTML imports, you would import a HTML file. In that file would be css, html and the js to make the component. Then you’d use HTML as usual in your main file.

Finally you could create custom components easily while keeping yourself dealing primarily with HTML.

Instead, you were forced to use bizarre js import systems. And at that point you were in JS land. Firefox’s decision not to support HTMLImports in favour of waiting to see what happens with JS killed it.
No, it's telling people to leave their politics at home and focus on work at work.

The user chooses how big to make their window, and the site conforms to that. I wish fewer web sites tried to second-guess what I asked for.
I think the practice of killing off streaming services and projects that aren't "core" is a huge liability for Google. Why should I invest time and money in a service or product that might be killed off in a few years?

We need to reward companies that keep things alive for longer. I got an iPhone recently (over a somewhat cheaper Android) precisely because Apple provides OS updates for longer than any other smartphone maker. Sometimes over 5 years.

Especially as tech products have started to somewhat plateau in functionality, I value longevity over features or performance.
This is incredibly wrong. Android 3 honeycomb was the basis for Google TV. Most of those APIs were quickly deprecated. Please read:

Yup it’s pretty bad.

It’s unusable on mobile.
The tv page was fine for me but the iphone and ipad pages are horrendous. I don't know why there is this trend in web design to make the page a video except you have to scroll to progress it.
As a resident of Seattle, nothing would make me happier than seeing one of our big corporate residents pack up and go elsewhere.
That doesn't make sense though, right? Barring regulatory reasons that force companies to have call centers, if the company wanted to provide customer support then they would want to be able to fix customer problems, right? And I've heard call center employees are paid based on minutes on the line so why wouldn't they want to wait a bit longer to solve someone's problem.
>and they moved onto the fully 32 bit 68020 and beyond when available.

Sure, but that comes with 32bit bus baggage.

The 68010 uses the same packages (dip included) as the 68k, and truly is a drop-in replacement with less bugs and slightly higher speed.
Depends on what kind of consulting company you work for. The ones I work for historically only engage with long-term local clients. I normal embed with client teams, full-time, at the client office. With covid, everything is remote, probably forever, so that will change, but I'm still effectively embedding with client teams. It's like being a normal full-timer, but I get to change jobs ever 6-24 months.
A little bit off-topic, but I have a problem with WSL2 and Wireguard for Windows. When I enable Wireguard for Windows, WSL2's default DNS server will stop working, but directly setting dns server to 8.8.8.8, 1.1.1.1 or something similar works.
I think it's interesting that there's so much talk about minimum wages for drivers, but restaurant workers have been working for $2-3/hour for decades, including periods of time when they are doing untipped work.
This is due to Hyper-V, which is being rolled out on Windows 10 and required for WSL2. The OS is now running as a VM, and virtualized programs like WSL2 are running alongside - these VMs can't control each other's traffic. It's interesting that a feature meant to improve sandboxing actually makes firewalling and VPN more difficult, in its current state. I think the the proper fix is at the Hyper-V level, which might need to explicitly manage firewall and VPN features.
I was hitting some rough edges / complexity with BigQuery's MERGE recently, but wasn't able to ascertain any significant difference with Snowflake by scanning their docs briefly -- what aspects of the MERGE semantics are better in Snowflake in your opinion?

Wondering if this is a somewhat new feature in BQ since you used it, or if there's still a feature gap here (e.g. see https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/gcp/performing-large-...).
Only in a fully captive market. If you piss the customer off enough they won’t buy again.
> Why not just use an auto-incrementing ID at that point?

Because sometimes (and by sometimes I mean "surprisingly often"), you don't care about exact sortability but simply want roughly-correct ordering.

Examples for most social media sites:

"Give me the latest 100 tweets/videos/posts for this user" => Milliseconds differences won't matter, because users don't tweet/post videos that often.

"Give me the latest 1000 tweets/videos/posts for this search" => Even a significant drift won't matter, because you don't care if things aren't exactly in the correct order, you just care about showing recent stuff.

And at that scale (even long before that scale), having a single oracle for auto-incrementing IDs is a hassle. So this is a nice solution any time you need globally unique IDs, need to support sharding, and your default sort is time-based (or whatever-based if there's another piece of info you want to put in that timestamp portion of the ID, as long as "drift" is a non-issue).

BTW, not just theoretical: I believe this exact reasoning is why twitter came up with time-sortable snowflake IDs.
Why is there an expectation of government to act rationally when the population can’t?

If the leaders of Sweden tell their population to wear masks in public to get to R0, they’ll do it. In Merica, we cannot trust our peers to be rational.

That said, metros like SF should have done better to argue for opening because we developed better testing and our numbers were low.
Accuracy side, I thought the presentation was excellent! I really like the explanation playing while the analysis is taking place. I’m totally going to steal this presentation idea.

I think I’ve searched on Google for most movies I’ve ever watched. Maybe that makes me a weird person, I don’t know. If you search for a movie on Google, you get a lot of information, including reviews, actors, links to rent it on Google Play Store, Amazon, watch it on various streaming services, etc. There’s money to be made being the place people go when they want things. Actually that’s how Google makes most of its money - companies pay a finders fee to have that demand directed toward them. Content ads are a smaller business.
Chromecast is the only google media receiver that survived. Over the last few years we have had:

I'm a proponent of always plugging but how are you solving the issue of putting the burden to migrate on yourself as opposed to requiring changes from the customers or the call centers?
Huh? Google already controls the entirety of the Phone app — if you're convinced they want to eavesdrop on your calls, they certainly don't need you to enable this feature to do so.

The places with these conversations do not have that. Both California and Washington have the same minimum wage for tipped and untipped workers. So in Washington you are guaranteed $13.50 / hr and then tips go on top. In California you are guaranteed $12 / hr and then tips go on top.

In Seattle, where this law was passed, the minimum wage is over $16 / hr and then tips go on top.

Alabama does do that bit with the $2/hr minimum wage if tips make up the balance but there isn't a significant effort in places like that to backstop wages for drivers.

Essentially, there is no inconsistency.

Well you are correct about the reliability factor. In theory, we could have randomly tested, but for reasons that escape me this was done almost nowhere. Deaths is more reliable.

However, the metric that is actually at least attempting to measure the underlying reality of interest, here, is not deaths, but cases, that's my only point. But I totally concede that in some cases deaths may be the less bad metric for cases, than confirmed cases.
An important missing datapoint (as noted elsewhere on this thread) could be how many PRs were merged as a result of the 2019 Hacktoberfest; that'd help get a sense of the positive value contributed. I'm surprised it's not mentioned in the repository you link to.
