"In pure FP, functions behavior depend only on its arguments, but it is not a requirement for DO (global variables are allowed in DO)."

Do you mean global mutable state here, or constants? I think in Haskell and other pure FP languages it's common to declare things globally, but global mutable state is discouraged in many imperative programming cultures too. I guess in the gray area this leaves global state that is initialized once at runtime.
Nobody said anything about 'any loss being unacceptable'. Of course some losses are inevitable, but there are many ways to share the costs and socialise some of the losses. Stimulus checks are one that was explicitly mentioned, in case you missed it.

Noting that transferring assets into Trust will often trigger a capital sales event (and tax), while potentially increasing asset holding costs (your home held by a Cook Islands trust may be subject to non-resident land taxes, for example, than many self-occupiers are exempt from) or life friction (I had a UK client who refused to work with me unless my main company was based in the UK, for example). Of course, these things are hugely jurisdictional - I would set the bar much higher than $250K net worth, but agree with your point.
Is there anything in his communication to you that suggest he intends to resell it to their client and profit himself? Because if there isn't, I suspect this isn't something to worry about even if he legally can. He probably doesn't even realize he legally can unless you tip him off to it.

He may just be trying to match-make you two. In which case, drop your original client out of the communication loop as soon as possible, and deal directly with the new client as a fresh entity from which you can only gain. You are under no obligation to: give the new client the same terms as the old client, agree to do any work at all for them, etc.

The drama with UK-based Imagination Technologies was better. Apple used Imagination's PowerVR GPUs in iPhones for years, then in 2017 Apple announced they would ditch them and make their own GPUs.

Apple was in talks to buy the company, but as in this case, decided to grab the engineers instead (this involved Apple opening an office nearby in St Albans, England to attract them).

Then followed 3 years of legal fighting over breach of contract, patents, you name it.
Finally this year, the companies declared peace, signed new agreement where Apple would continue to pay Imagination big bucks every year in royalties. Looks like Imagination had a good case as well as some other new graphics technology Apple needed.

the impedance ratio is always the square of the turns ratio.

So increasing turns through the core by x2 lifts its impedance (and attenuation effect) by x4. A x4 increase equates to a 6dB increase."

Show HN: Principles of Data Oriented Programming
Would you mind sharing?
What I don't understand is the need for product churn.

Okay, photo printing at home was a new thing with some tighter tolerances, but a lot of home and office printing is asking for not much more than it was in 1997-- 300-600dpi black and a few coloured charts. Why not just take a bulletproof design from that era and swap out the control board from parallel to USB/Ethernet/Wifi? The R&D and tooling is done, and you can sell the premise of "takes big affordable cartridges with cheap generics available" if you're willing to not get on the Gilette business model train.

This article is an excerpt from my upcoming book about Data Oriented Programming. This article is an attempt to illustrate what are the core principles of Data Oriented Programming as I understand them. It is highly influenced by my programming experience in Clojure, but I believe that those principles are language agnostic.

Very cool, I'm going try this

Anyone know if it works on ARM? I see it being a cool Raspberry PI use case. Didn't see anything in the docs
I believe this is why OP brought up the birthright social contract.

Given an absence of society, it’s fair to argue self-reliance, and that no one should have to carry another.

However, being born into a society strips you of certain natural rights. You can’t just choose a nice place to build shelter for yourself - that’s “property” and it’s owned by someone already. You can’t hunt or farm your own food for similar reasons. Society demands, from birth, that you follow social laws that limit your own ability to be self-reliant.

I believe it’s reasonable then when OP proposes that the balance of that social contract might mean that society should also provide a safety net for the basic necessities of life.
If you've ever lived near a big flock of crows for a period of time you might think of murder alright.

Amazon’s Growing Ad Business Could Forever Change Tech

I wonder if you're trying to get bogged down in details and looking for the points where a back of the napkin start to a discussion break down under closer observation.

My general idea phrased differently: The current global situation is a __war__ against a microscopic enemy that hijacks our very bodies to release deadly gasses indiscriminately among anywhere else a compromised citizen goes. It is not unreasonable to take drastic ''war time'' economic actions the likes of which have not been seen in my entire lifetime. Efforts and adjustments far more like those seen during the first and second world wars. An orderly idle-mode adjustment to the economy and stabilization of social situations built around a plan to minimize suffering and maximize safety is extremely rational.

Trying to break this down a bit more since you had specific questions:

===
Payment for places to live (as seen by buyers / renters)
===

Everyone needs assistance, and if they don't currently they probably would in an orderly idling of the economy to promote health and safety.

Across the board, 'qualifying circumstances' would enable forbearance of payments and a no-interest repayment over a reasonable time after the crisis .

Those who are buying their primary residence* (it might be arguable that anyplace lived in for 40% or more of the year is such a residence; mostly as a concession to those who have a summer and winter home; however if someone's doing that maybe they don't need this help and would have to pick ONE accommodation location) would only be required to pay "the rate" (25% of the non covid-19 plan rate), and would not be penalized for paying a reduced quantity. This would also include, during the duration of the crisis, a corresponding reduction in, or outright elimination of, the interest on the loan.

Similarly anyone renting would have their primary residence reduced similarly; only the term on the rental would still continue, all other conditions would apply.

===
Those being paid for places to live
===

All land owners and renters would see the equally reduced rate of income, across the board. Since I think the housing market is distorted I'm against leverage financing, but people need to live places now and this is the situation we're in. An actual economist should try to figure out a fair solution to cutting through this gordian knot; ideally with the elimination of rent-seeking as a net drag on the overall economy and fair distribution of resources.

Offhand, I believe that with a proper social safety net, so that the unemployed can still eat and pay rent, it's actually _more_ likely that the rent of the poor would still be paid.

===

The other circumstances and situations you bring up make it sound like you've misunderstood the idea I was talking about; this is not about giving anyone more money (that's an entirely different topic); this is about reducing (part of) the cost of living, by making payment / rent 25% (a thrown out figure, not something an economist has adjusted and arrived at) of the currently contracted value during the pandemic.
It's not just money, the stakes are higher.

Ethics in CS are becoming much more important as technology becomes more powerful. AI, mass surveillance, big tech...

Of course there's going to be more pushback & activism, we're not hacking phone lines with whistles anymore. People — lives — are at risk.
High Power = H Impulse and above. Also, if your M class flights rarely went over 1500ft those rockets must have been HUGE. I did my L3 on a baby M (M2250 - 9.4% M) and went nearly 20k ft AGL and Mach 1.9.
Two particularly notable insights, beyond the wildfire history and science, stand out.

I'd just been discussing the general failure of moralisingpathologies (disease, mental health, personal failings, and more, when I saw the same attitute had been applied to wildfire and forestry management:

[F]ire was seen as a social problem, a problem of social order and disorder. [Bernhard Eduard] Fernow looked at the American fire scene and declared that it was all a problem of "bad habits and loose morals.”

You don't solve systems problems by punishing or torturing them. You address specific mechanisms, risk factors, transmmission vectors, and feedbacks.

The other is thinking of wildfire as similar to an epidemic:

To me, Fire is the other contagion. Wildfires can be described as a kind of infection! But fire is a lot like a virus. It's not alive, but it depends on the living world to spread.

Both seem useful models to apply elsewhere.
I would like to see some data about this because the European "safety net" is reaching mythical proportions in the minds of Americans.

What safety net when schools were closed and hospitals closed with only emergencies and COVID?! There was NO safety net.

Oh, you mean generous free money? This also didn't apply to everybody.

Actually, some did get to stay at home on free money while folks that teleworked had no option that to do full-time plus homeschool plus everything else.
In California, non-competes are illegal.... the only way a non-compete is legal in California is if the company keeps paying the employee (e.g. as part of a severance, the company can agree to pay $10000 a month for you to not compete)
Losses and deferments should be taken by banks

What about the people who aren’t in the 1% but their pension investments include bank stocks?

You’re ignoring that economic shocks work their way through the system. Let banks take the hit and shareholders and employees all get hit, which then impacts others as well.
It’s such a shame to see children taught that there are nine (/eight) big things in the solar system worth caring about and that’s it.

It’s so much more exciting to know that the solar system is an enormous continuous spectrum of debris. The debris is named and catalogued, it’s that tangible.

I love seeing children go wide eyed at the mention of Ceres. It’s like the Azores of the planets — there’s another place/planet in the middle of nowhere that no one talks about?!

The final step in this is to recognize that, out of the full spectrum of Trojans to TNOs to moons to planets, the planets really are in a class of their own in terms of long term effect on other bodies in their orbit.

Pluto isn’t a planet. But that doesn’t mean we exclude it. It means we include Ceres and a whole lot more whenever we talk about our local system.

(Or at least the inner parts of our local system that we’ve found, so far.)
> I hear and read conflicting testimonies about ZFS which supposedly handles data corruption better and will give it a try at some point. For now, I use md5sum to create and verify checksums of my backup .tar.gz archives and parchive to create error recovery files. I’ve written about parchive before and remain to this day a dedicated fan.

I’m very surprised you went through the trouble of building such an amazing NAS and skipped ZFS! Definitely give it a try. It’s especially useful for combatting disk rot. Not to mention how easy it is to setup and use.

There is also another downside. With an EV you never get to “bond” with the machine. You don’t get the sound feedback from the engine, you don’t get to “feel” its struggle to produce

> If you’re not going to act on an author’s central point, don’t try do any of the other parts (they’ll probably actually be harmful). If you’re not going to copy the central parts of something successful, don’t bother copying the other stuff.

There are a couple of interesting things about these comments.

#1, nobody knows which parts of an ensemble of practices are the central parts. It's quite true that, because of this problem, people just try to copy as much as they can.

But then we lead into #2, your comments on the recipe for success. Among your central points, literally placed in the center, is "great weather". That can't be copied. You have the weather you have. What should the other 99.999% of the world do? Is there even a point in trying?

A supply side correction rather than a market one.

The market is relatively inelastic in it's needs. More money in goes right through to the other side. Those extra 600 per week did not get banked, it got spent. Granted, I didn't see any of it because I'm thankfully still working; but I'm under zero illusions that it didn't pay for things like TV, cable, maybe a computer; and most probably some touchless delivery meals.
I don't understand why anyone would do this instead of running FreeNAS. It comes with everything you need including ZFS pools.
We used AI to tackle burnout and turnover in healthcare
Because a good team of software engineers can bring a lot of value. They can write a software that saves company millions of dollars. They can can make a product which will bring millions of dollars of profit. And for all that, their labor and equipment expenses will be a fraction of that amount.

There are very few professions with profit/cost ratio this high. Writers and media creator come to mind. Definitely not electricians or builders.

(Of course not every software engineer is like this. But there are plenty of $60K software jobs in US too, nit everyone gets six digits)
All my colleagues are good workers and none of them have the intention to move to California. In fact, a good chunk moved out of California.
Funny how perceptions changed over time. I attended in the early 90s and back then I was not aware of any philosophy to treat the kids as adults. We did not have an off-campus lunch program; I got detention one time when I got caught sneaking off campus. And there was definitely a vibe of gifted and talented across the board. The labs were not as sophisticated as they are now. My classmates had broad interests and ended up with achievements across many professions. Just within the few folks I’ve kept track of, there are successes in science and tech but also theater, TV, movies, writing, restaurants, politics, etc.
Obviously, like all political ideas, if you take it to the extreme it becomes nonsense.

For example, we are currently living the idea of capitalism taken to the extreme, where one man can own a trillion dollars while others can't afford healthcare or education, and it's clearly becoming more and more nonsensical to allow this. Let's try swinging the needle in the other direction for a while.
This! I think we are needing something similar to podcasts for video, that will remove the incumbent players (youtube) from being the sole owners of the video content and instead they are one of many distributors.
History.com? Really?
Lost in the comments a bit is that Apple actually offered Hooked 4.5 MILLION to hire these folks in the acqui-hire, and the companied DECLINED saying they had other prospects (which turned out to be false - they were running out of money). The CTO begged for them to go through with the aqui-hire.

If the employees don't have faith in your big plans, and you turn down 4.5 million to make the transition smooth, is it really illegal for the employees to go work for someone else?

Hooked had these folks as at will employees and could fire them with 1 hr notice, and then is pissed they ended up going to work for Apple. Come ON! If you wanted them long term sign them to a long term contract.

Google is a pretty bad example, they are well known for not caring where did you study. As long as you pass their (hellish) interview, they will take you.

The point was just to illustrate that inaction is an action. Not taking a political stance is taking a political stance. It is a game you cannot help but play.

Politics is more than government. It's our society, it's how we deal with each other. It's how we approach the economy, the family, the church. It's intrinsically linked to being human, or as Aristotle put it, the "philosophy of human affairs".

If your business does not actively support a reform, they are actively supporting the status quo. Which is fine, humans disagree. But to pretend it's something it's not is disingenuous or naive.

Hmm...interesting. Yea, I've been fumbling a bit with the pricing structure. I thought a subscription model would be easiest for users to understand, and would give them some assurance that they're not opening themselves up to large costs that could come from per-a-minute billing.

The idea is that you use the free trial to show The Approver of Funds this works, then convert to whatever tier you think you need. Upgrade and downgrade as needed based on how many minutes you need.

I'm new to using Stripe with subscriptions and was following the basic framework from a tutorial. I plan to revisit how I do subscriptions, but I'm not sure what that will look like yet. Thought?

DevOps consultants have existed for years, but they only talk to upper management, like the Six Sigmas before them.

This article doesn't really explain The Three Ways that well. I recommend going to the source: https://itrevolution.com/the-three-ways-principles-underpinn... Keep in mind this is only one of several ways of explaining what DevOps is about, as the whole concept evolved over several years.

Microservices were old and busted 5 years ago, but like Scrum, the industry pays no notice to broken patterns, only new ones.

"Learning" is definitely a higher-order pattern that you have to practice to get good at. Whether it's machine learning, distributed tracing, sliding metric alarms, etc they aren't easy to implement correctly but they can level up the efficiency of dealing with big systems. You're right that simpler systems are best, until a specialized team can work on more complex ones without getting run into the ground.

It's possible to use http/2 between the load balancer and the app server (haproxy 2.0+ supports this, caddy supports h2, but not h2c). FastCGI has been around longer, and there are probably more reverse proxies that support it on the backend than h2c (or even just h2), but I'm not sure if there are any technical advantages to using FastCGI as the protocol over http/2.
