I'm partial to "multi-skilled" these days.

When people ask what are my particular areas, I'll say I mainly do... I'm expert in... I have strong experience with... over the years I've worked in several technical areas...

And list 4 or 5 different specialisms where I would realistically do ok if interviewed in those areas on the spot without warning.

I don't know if that would work for someone who really is a generalist without specialist knowledge at the current stage in their career.

In my case, I really have gone much deeper than most people into a number of different sounding domains. Not different skills or tech stacks, but really very different tech areas. I'm often regarded as interesting because of that, rather than "master of none".

Really, really interesting. I struggled to find prices for the cloud editions?
Yes, but I think more people know what a bottle is than what a Helmholtz resonator is.
I agree w/ you. Anecdotally but the most common argument I heard was "5-10% can't drive the huge price increases we're seeing". My counter was always that comps drive market pricing. It doesn't take very many sales well over asking to inflate a market, esp when the supply of capital is large, not local, and being laundered.
Right! What I would say is small organizations want / need a variety of skills. They also tend to actually know who they are hiring and why, not go through some HR "process" that filters resumes in an automated way.

Small organizations can be start ups, successful well established companies that are smaller, or autonomous organizations that are owned by a larger company but that need to run their own business.

How would you find these organizations? Startups are pretty easy to find because they need to promote themselves. And you are here so you should know how to find them. For successful smaller organizations that are not start ups, look at what verticals are important (and profitable) in the region of the world you want to live. In that vertical you will find small, really successful companies that are not well known. See if they have openings.

Hi HN! We last crossed paths 6 months ago, when we shared Tara 1.0, a simple Jira alternative.
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23033387

I'm one of the creators of Tara, and with support and feedback from the community, we've been hard at work building this v1.5 release over 24 sprints and 500+ pull requests. Several of you asked for an improved Github sync, PRs and commits tracked in tasks, alongside a Gitlab integration. We've discovered from teams, just how painful Jira and Confluence can be for tracking issues, sprints and docs. Our requirements feature has also gone through a bit of a re-design, and with Gitlab, we've also shipped commenting, workspaces and teams.

As for why we're working on this problem; we just wanted to use something fast, with minimal setup, and built-in views for Git. We just couldn't find anything designed from the ground up for development teams.

Finally, Tara AI is free for teams and developers. Our free forever plan has no limits on users, tasks or workspaces. Looking forward, we're working on predictive functionality around effort estimation, release planning and engineering analytics.

Thanks for reading!
Airline Tech Startups Try to Adapt to the Crisis
You can read as what you want, when people arrived to the Americas, the continents were covered in lush vegetation and had plenty of water, food and space.

When we'll arrive to the only planet in reach where it is even vaguely conceivable to survive for more than a couple of hours, we'll find a freezing desert with high radiation levels and no air where every cubic centimetre of living space will need to be created from scratch and maintained.

> Energy-intensive goods tend to be more elastic, leading to higher energy footprints of high-income individuals.

This is great news. If energy intensive goods are more elastic, this means that carbon taxes will likely be very successful at reducing consumption of these goods.

Now we just need to get some strong carbon taxes in place.

How is this Open Source?
iTunes has the same problem - even though the contracts they have with the rights holders might be valid for 1000 years (or indefinite), that contract breaking would mean the consumer would lose access to their "bought" movies in their iTunes library, at least legally.
Except the reality is that local speculation is also wild and crazy. It's just easier to blame foreigners.

I've read stats that indicate that nearly 20% of home owners in the Toronto area own at least one additional "investment" property. This rings true with my own experience, as the cult of home ownership is ridiculously strong in Canada, and many have been betting on and fueling rampant speculation for the past decade -- buying boxes in the sky for hundreds of thousands of dollars under the assumption that real estate just keeps going up.

But the anecdotal stories about the occasional foreign buyer is somehow much more satisfying and comforting than the thought that Canadians are also responsible.
Only if people re-use bitcoin addresses, or deal with people who re-use addresses. If there is one thing I would change about the protocol it would be to prohibit address reuse. There are techniques like HD wallets that allow you to do this.
> Emacs is a computing environment that happens to revolve around text.

And it’s usually embedded in another computing environment that happens to revolve around text called UNIX. If only the scripting language of the latter was as elegant as Lisp...
Yep, I agree. It seems like progress comes in waves. We have periods of advance and periods of stagnation or regress. From about 1000CE to 2000CE was mostly advance, although there were some questionable periods where arguably that was not true (late 1700s-early 1800s, 1914-1945, for example). It looks like we're now entering a period of regression, but it could turn out to be another temporary period of stagnation/reorganization followed by renewed growth.

Looks more like a Roadmap to becoming a Machine Learning expert to me. There's an awful lot more to AI than just ML/DL that this seems to ignore.
This is an article about MDN, not Mozilla. How exactly does MDN bring money? Do you suggest MDN should be a revenue source? Or do you expect Mozilla to maintain the MDN for free eternally just because?

This is seriously entitled. Mozilla gave us an amazing resource, entirely for free. This attitude isn't right, it's toxic and harmful.

Mozilla is in a spot of difficulty, and instead of taking a resource that is operating entirely at a loss down, they're taking the engineering steps to ensure thez resource can outlive them.

That their mismanagement caused them the difficulty is entirely irrelevant here. It could have happened in a myriad of other ways. We should be praising Mozilla and the MDN tech team for the steps they're taking in making sure the MDN can live on.
> restaurants do tend to pick up on this [fraud] over time

Fixed that for you.
I'd love to hear feedback!
it seems like unnecessary complexity. why not just advertise a market-clearing price for the units you need to move? they already have a different quote for each individual unit, which fluctuates a lot based on market conditions. they don't post a price for a currently occupied unit until the tenant has confirmed they will not be renewing, so quotes can't really be used for haggling. there are no rules about max yearly rent increases here either.

Muslims ‘have right to kill millions of French’: Malaysia’s Mahathir to Macron
I think you are both right. This is good for the future of MDN, but OTOH cutting cost is likely to be what motivated Mozilla to make this change.
This is a tough issue in the abstract, because information wants to be free, right?

But there seems to clearly be something like fraud going on, and the involuntary nature of restaurants perceived to be participating is... weird.
Not subject to the foreign buyer tax, yes; it's unclear that these taxes have actually solved the above issue though. For money laundering it's an acceptable cost of doing business; for others there are ways around it (hence the 20-year-old undergrads prepared to pay $1.4 million in cash that another commenter mentioned).
The problem is where the Law of Demeter meets YAGNI. Encapsulation is good, and it's best to use languages that nudge toward encapsulation. But you can also encapsulate incorrectly, when the domain grows in ways you didn't anticipate, and then all of that encapsulation becomes code you have to undo.

Programs are most maintainable when you can make the pieces match the natural pieces of the problem domain, and encapsulate accordingly. Doing so is a judgment call, based on your experience with the domain. You always have to come back to domain knowledge to do it correctly. Making decisions based solely on maxims about software qua software will always turn up contradictions like that.
It also had to do with allowing the additional of the color information to not break compatibility with the existing B&W TVs in existence. Had the decided to not make 1 video signal that could be broadcast to both color and B&W TVs, they could have just broadcast color at 30fps (and man would my life had been so much easier).
Yes. It can even work fully without any server synchronization. It is just a db in the browser, sync is optional.
One can buy a second copy and donate it to the Library or give it to a friend. Now it's offsite, like all backups should be, and one doesn't advance technology much to achieve this. Depending on how you attribute a "cost" to the time it would take to make a duplicate of a physical copy, it may even be less expensive.
They can also lock you out for 'fraud' such as starting the game twice on your pc for split-screen multiplay, running some Wine fork or virtualization that they see as anti-theft circumvention, and so on.
> Investors did work for wages (or their ancestors did) and then instead of consuming they spent it on others in exchange for a pension.

That is pretty much the definition of the nobility.

Someone many generations ago did something perceived as meritorious by the monarch and was awarded a title and some land. To get to the position where they could have done something to earn them a peerage, their ancestors would have worked a job for payment, and so on.

The only difference is the timescale. The 16th Duke of Hamilton is 400 years from someone who had to work for a living. A highly privileged modern investor whose only job was a sinecure at Daddy's company might have parents or grandparents who worked an upper-middle class job.

> The modern day equivalent to nobility would be government employees

That is a ridiculous snark. Government employees work for a wage, just as commercial and third sector employees do. If they stop working, they end up destitute same as any other employee. You do realise that Ron Swanson is a fictional character, don't you?

Just now occurs to me: Adjudication could be escalated to arbitration or mediator.

Governance is the evergreen crisis. Was part of an org that had a constitutional crisis over conduct not covered by existing bylaws. HUGE drama. HUGE effort to resolve. Basically a mock trial.

I don't think it's just that. I think it's the corporations having engaged in decades long propaganda pushing towards unlimited capitalism. It's a new brand of authoritarianism. Corporations make all the rules and have all the power. If we as a consumer make a single mistake, we are to pay for it, yet consumers have essentially zero power towards a corporation. Corporations are given nearly endless rights on what they can do and own, and consumers are quickly having ownership rights yanked out from us. Corporations own our data, many of the products we "buy", and even what we can do with the things we "buy".
People order every day from non Amazon, non Amazon Prime sellers on Amazon. My feeling is end users know what they’re getting into as long as they’re informed the restaurant is non partnered, and your bosses just need to take the 5m to come up with a brand.
I recommend "The Book of Why" by Judea Pearl as an introduction to the topic. It is targeted at a general (but educated) audience.
At the time of origination, residential mortgages will have limits on the equity-debt ratio. If you fall below a certain threshold (e.g. sub-20% downpayment) your lender may require you to carry private mortgage insurance (PMI). If your home's value were to fall substantially, your equity-debt ratio could be pushed below the threshold -- e.g. if tax assessments were updated.

I've never heard of situations that have re-triggered PMI... but it doesn't seem outside the realm of possibility.

I'm genuinely not seeing the distinction here. I can be warned, banned, or suspended for violating the guidelines, I can be warned, banned, or suspended for violating the CoC. Both spell out values (be kind) as well as disallow certain actions (don't call names).

The main difference I see is that the CoC also spells out enforcement actions and processes, while the enforcement process for the guidelines is whatever dang feels like it is. In other words from my perspective the CoC is less arbitrary.

That's what I told my literature teachers in school. Just because you have your accepted interpretation of the written material doesn't mean I can't have mine. "Yes, but you are wrong" was always the response. Can't imagine why I took to math & science over prose instead.

> The restaurant can opt out of this

I was at the bar of a local restaurant when some delivery driver (not sure if GH) came in to pick up an order. The (super busy) server said "we told you we don't want to participate in this...", clearly exasperated at this happening over and over. This is a restaurant that does a lot of catering, where they set the terms/fees.

The driver started trying to "explain" how it's just the same as if he were a real customer and how would she know, etc. It was just gross.

This was a couple years ago.

Neither Safari, Chrome/Chromium, IE, old Edge, nor new Edge have substantial HTML and CSS developer documentation on their own web sites. Their vendors - excepting Apple and the WebKit contributors - all chose to work with Mozilla instead to put their docs on MDN: https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2017/10/18/documenting-w...

It seems to me that as far as the browser makers are concerned, MDN is as close to authoritative as you can get without going to the standards documents themselves - and the standards don't give you browser compatibility matrices or make any note of browser-specific quirks.

MDN may be a wiki, but it certainly isn't treated like one by the people who are most interested in it being accurate and up to date.

If we change the analogy we get a different answer. Everyone agree that murder should be forbidden, but we don't want mob justice to go around lynching suspected murderers.

As a society we have laws. CoC as extrajudicial rules get judged based on their benefit to extend existing laws and append additional law enforcement on top of already existing law enforcement. If the result is bad and the additional rules causes more problem than they solve then they should be discarded.

It does not mean all extrajudicial rules are bad but we need to ask if they are needed, serve a good purpose, measure the outcome, and be ready to discard them when the situation calls for it.

I don't know, I can't help but feel like nearly all of our solutions to contemporary problems involve space travel, specifically self-contained space travel (i.e., when spaceships become within an order of magnitude as affordable as houses or automobiles.) The universe is essentially limitless from a human point of view, so to be perpetually stuck on Earth seems like a failure of perspective.

- Oppressive government controlling you or your land? Move elsewhere in the solar system.

- Resource extraction destroying natural environments on Earth? Asteroids and other planets have far more natural resources and long term, it is inevitable that mining will be off-planet.

- Overpopulation? On a universal scale, there is no such thing.

Obviously most of these won't be solvable in 20, or 50, or even 100 years. But, they seem conceivably doable in 200, or even 150. In the greater scheme of things, this is a very small amount of time.

I think you're commenting primarily on the first, second, third instance of breaking the guidelines. I've certainly read threats of people being banned for repeated violations, read suggestions that accounts have been banned, and I can see accounts that are shadow-banned here.

Whether the guidelines are used to punish people who act a certain way or just as a way to document how to act so as to avoid punishment is a fairly fine distinction IMO and maybe a distinction without a difference.
"The Code of Conduct Enforcement Team" - group of purple haired losers that can't code
Hey all

Thomas from the Raycast team here. We're super excited to open up Raycast to everyone and share it with the HN community today.

We built Raycast because we're fed up with chasing around browser tabs and tools to get work done. The simplest things take way too many clicks. Not to mention the time spent in front of loading indicators on websites. With Raycast, you can control your tools with a few keystrokes. The command line inspired interface unifies tools as commands to cut through the noise.

We launched a first version of the app a few months ago [1]. Since then we revamped the entire user interface, added new extensions and made it possible to extend the functionality with scripts. Here are a few examples what you can do:

- Launch apps or search files on your Mac
- Create, search and close issues in Asana, GitHub, Jira or Linear
- Check upcoming meetings
- Join conference calls with a single keypress
- Approve, merge and close GitHub pull requests
- Convert units, check dates and solve equations with a powerful calculator
- Much more and if that isn't enough, you can extend Raycast with scripts

The app is built natively for macOS (100% Swift) to be simple, lightweight and efficient. No login is required to get started. We hope you join the Raycast community and we'd love to get your feedback.

Also, I'm super happy to answer questions!

—

As a little gift, we added a Hacker News command to Raycast to quickly check the latest tech news. You know, when you have some minutes while waiting for the compilation of your app to complete.
