Similar advice filtered through my own experiences:

You're at $company for interviews, and the HR person says, "So let's talk salary. What are your expectations?"

Your "A" strategy: "Oh, I just want to learn more about the team and the position for now. I can wait until we're moving forward with an offer to discuss compensation. I'm not worried about it."

They will probably balk. They might suggest they "just want to be sure they aren't wasting your time."

Your response is roughly: "If you're worried I might not be satisfied with your offer, I'm happy to hear the range you've got available and I'll think on it as I go through the process."

They will likely agree to talk about it later, at which point you are out or they are invested.

Your "B" strategy, if you're really, really pressed to name a number: Figure out a number that would make you excited -- like, a number you'd brag about to friends and family. Then increase it by 10-25%. That's your ask. They'll say no and counter-offer much lower. That's less than their top. Name your excited number or around there. And most important: be willing to walk away.

Keys to making these strategies effective:

- have other active job prospects on the go that you can allude to, but keep the status of those situations vaguely optimistic. Before you look for work, finally hit that Amazon or Google recruiter back. They have deep pockets. Now you can truthfully drop their names as people you're waiting to hear back on when $smallerCompany beats them to offer time.

- Be seriously willing to walk away. You might not be fortunate enough to be able to do this -- it's a very privileged situation to be in. But by far, your strongest negotiating position comes from being able to not flinch too hard when they say no, and in being serious about leaving if they can't give a satisfying response. You might have to just leave with no offer. That has to be okay, or you won't get a good deal.

This is cribbed from the classic kalzumeus blogpost linked in the article, modified by my own experience using it.

Edit: A big last point: when they do eventually make an offer with real numbers, verbally or written, don't lead off with "okay", "amazing!", or "thank you!".

You can tell them "that's a generous offer", "that's a great offer", "I appreciate that offer a lot", or something similar, to express that you acknowledge their work and that there's something on the table. Then, you tell them that you will (understandably) need to think it over, maybe to discuss it with your partner, and that you will get back to them as soon as possible. You're excited to work together.

You now have the time and the space to exit that high pressure situation. Think, and ask yourself: are you happy with that number? Could you comfortably say no? Are there other things you can ask for? Etc. Make your next move later, from a position of comfort and strength.

Well, I am sympathetic to your point about the appeal of e-ink devices: great battery life, easier on the eyes, and lower costs. Things like the Kindle, the Remarkable tablet, or the Boox have great potential.

I'm just skeptical about an e-ink phone on a custom OS that doesn't support modern apps. Some apps may be unnecessary, but most users IMO expect to have things like GMail, WatsApp, Zoom, etc., on their phone.
Hiring managers aren't necessarily trying to talk you down when asking for salary information up front. It's waste of time to go through the interview process when parties have grossly mismatched expectations about compensation. To save time I usually ask something like "what number would get you interested in this job?"

Edit: typo
Did you miss the part where I said "unable to talk to younger members of my family about science"?

Which part of that do you not find particularly significant? You don't think "talking about science" is an important thing for family members to be able do do? You think "science" sounds like a narrow, nerdy sort of conversation that one wouldn't need to have often? You don't think that arguing every time the topic comes up could damage relations with people that I want to get on with? You don't think that us mutually disrespecting each others positions could damage relations? I'm really at a loss for what goes on in your family; do enlighten us.

The string command accepts a special syntax for indices, which includes addition (but not the full power of expr) [1]. Maybe you are referring to this? Also, list commands accept the same syntax for list indices.

Example:

% string index abc 1
b
% string index abc 1+1
c
% string index abc 1+1+1
bad index "1+1+1": must be integer?[+-]integer? or end?[+-]integer?
% string index abc end-1
b

I don't think it's possible to delete your own comment on HN.

It's possible for the mods to "shadow delete" your comments: it still appears to you when you're logged in, but no-one else can see it. (To see if any your comments have been shadow-deleted, check out the difference between news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=yourusername when you're logged in and logged out.)
I very very strongly reject the idea that "What people are saying on social media" is worth summarizing or covering by the media.

I can list many reasons, the top few would be:

1. It is too easy to game "what people are saying" on social media

2. Loudest voices / most extreme positions get picked up, amplified, and passed off as "what people are saying"

3. It is too easy / predictable to game what kind of messages the media chooses to summarize

4. None of it matters (see my original post about what people say vs. what people do)

If an idea is worth discussing, it is worth discussing regardless of its source (social media or otherwise). Conversely, and I know this is open for debate, but Twitter is not a great medium for discussing ideas.

Social media regularly reminds me of the Douglas Adams quote:

“The story so far:
In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.”

That is, on average, what people are saying on social media. It is not worth summarizing and covering.
Those other "features" are just conventions that come with being on a *nix OS. They're aren't unique to i3. But regarding adoption, of course power-tools (for power-users) don't get wide adoption. That's just how things are, since the majority doesn't have the time to put into learning how to use such tools.

This thread is about there being a use for a tab-less browser. That doesn't necessitate wide adoption.

(Not that I'm saying that a tab-less browser is of particular use, since one can just ignore tabs in a tabbed-browser.)
No, you still need to find a machine with a public IP. The usecase in parent comment mentioned only the SSH part, which is easier. But if you want to do forwarding from a specific machine to the public, you can do it manually.
That's what I understand. They could corner this market if they made it flat $5-$10/mo and finished getting their DNS registrar up and running. But I suspect they have bigger fish to fry.
It's because nobody in the industry wants to acknowledge that there's a power imbalance. You really might need a job, but guess what? Your interviewer already has one.

This would be the first hypothesis I'd investigate. That politicians would launch investigations for mere political purposes seems plausible.

Yeah, if any of my friends in my field or colleagues ask me what I'm making, I have no problems telling them to help with this system disadvantage.

We should normalize being OK with telling our colleagues what we make. Our HR dept. might tell us it is private, but that's only to help the employer keep the information edge in negotiations.
Lots of mention of server push. Does anybody actually use it in production?
Unless it's directly inciting violence, yes.

By this standard, Facebook must allow everything that you can find on Pornhub and Liveleak. Plus much of the material published in Al Qaeda's magazine Inspire. Telling people "crusaders should die" and "here's how to make a bomb from over the counter materials" aren't direct incitements to violence. Reddit could never have banned r/WatchPeopleDie or r/jailbait. (Although it could be hard to spot any actual jailbait in r/jailbait once torrents of MLM schemes and cryptocurrency scams flood every subreddit.)

The First Amendment protects a lot. That's why back in 2014/2015 American legislators who were unhappy with Islamist terrorist propaganda circulating on social media called on social media companies to do something instead of passing a law. A law that says "it's illegal to publish photos of dead Americans or their allies with gloating commentary" wouldn't survive the First Amendment. But social platforms could and did deplatform groups cheering for ISIS, to bipartisan approval.

You may sincerely believe that only direct incitements to violence should be suppressed on social media. I don't think that there is legislative support for that state of affairs, though. Not even among the conservative legislators who are currently the most critical of social media moderation decisions. If legislators managed to pass a law that said "social media platforms cannot suppress anything that is legal to publish under the First Amendment," I think that they would regret that choice a month after seeing the consequences.
Something is clearly happening. It's tough to put a word on it. It's new and old. A minority of people with a lot of power want the majority to believe in a fake world to continue a brutal tradition of otherizing the humans they need to produce a life they feel entitled to and require to be disposable to their eroticized domination. Fascism is a short word that fits pretty good but doesn't do justice to the completely bizarre modern aspects. We need a Shakespeare to give us a new one.

Given that they are never going to go to your previous employer and ask them what you made, there's nothing to lose there. Anyone who does ask something like that isn't someone anyone wants to work for anyway.

Always add 10-20%. If they like you, they will offer you and you can negotiate from there.

Nzen already responded to this pretty thoroughly.

I'll just add two points:

1) Individual good actions virtually never outweigh large-scale bad actions, but the world is actually worse off if individuals do not take those little positive actions. Little polluter + big polluter yields more pollution than big polluter.

2) Taking the small positive actions is actually a lot of what helps people work on the huge, difficult problems. Humans are more effective when our psychology is a unified self rather than in conflict with itself, and taking small, positive concrete steps helps us keep ourselves in alignment with our big-picture goals and ideals.

I guess both of those fit into the abstract observation that you're bifurcating - people don't have to choose between individual concrete actions and contributing to policy efforts and other high-level approaches.

By all means, if you see someone explicitly saying they choose one at the expense of the other, say something.

When they don't say that, though, don't assume that's what they're doing.

Purely localized home storage and IOT stuff which offers similar features like remote access and whatnot, is clearly a really, really difficult problem to solve. Just like smartphone being essentially your entire one ISP coordinated popping from having your whole life in any security agencies hands.

Maybe we need an organization like OpenAI to solve this problem. Like OpenHome or something. A place we can centralize our developer resources to providing a solution to this obvious proto-police state that is being developed out of pure utility, aka usefulness.

Right now my friends moms washing machine and coffee maker are all wifi connected to be controlled and notified when done remotely from here phone. It's entering out lives fast and we need a solution and startups offering similarlly good products - or a private solution which can be sold to the manufacturers like Whirlpool.
I wouldn’t answer what I make now, but I would happily tell a recruiter what I want to make. If you do your homework and find out what the upper bands are for the role, you can ask for the top of the band and usually get it.

One thing to understand is that, for big companies, most of the people involved in the hiring chain really want to make the hire and don’t care that much what you get paid, as long as it’s not way above everyone else.
Am I the only one who won't proceed in interview prospecting calls without almost immediately asking "what does the company have budgeted for a salary range?" It is extremely to the point and doesn't waste anyone's time.

I, as the hypothetical Twitter CEO, choosing to silence or remove an account isn't a "big F" Free Speech issue.

The government telling me, the hypothetical Twitter CEO, that I am legally mandated to publish your tweet, be it actually misinformed or just plain unpopular, or face asset seizure and jail time as a consequnce -- that is an _actual_, real infringement on free speech.

It just turns out that a lot of those SV libertarian free speech absolutists were actually partisan authoritarian hacks that are now abusing the notion of free speech in the current online discourse, so that the government will step in and mandate publishing their particular flavor speech. The people arguing against Twitter having the ability to silence and ban accounts (for any reason) are arguing for a Propaganda-class of speech that must be repeated by all who have any influence.
I had a side project of 'flattening' classes at classloading time into large mappedbytebuffers, removing all allocations needed for ser-des and recursing on belongs-to references, copying buffer slices from sockets to the buffers (and reusing the socket buffers), and using netty for sockets (selector allocates crazy). Very fun project with javassist...
I think trying to replace regular GUIs and mechanical inputs in every use case is naive, it seems pretty obvious to me that clicking on a button or pressing a keyboard shortcut is pretty much always going to be faster than uttering a voice command.

But there's a huge swathe of use cases where it does make sense, and I think we should be focusing on those - situations when you can't use your hands. Voice assistant technology doesn't even need to be great for this, just good enough that you can look up unit conversions with your hands covered in bread dough, or navigate while driving or whatever.

I used Java for 10+ years, including now, and I worked briefly in Clojure for less than 1 year. I think the Clojure syntax is way more reasonable, although I appreciate the maturity of tools used with Java.

Two things were important to make it "click" for me:

1) I realized that "Lisp has many parentheses" actually has it backwards. A Lisp code has about as many parentheses as an equivalent Java code; there is almost a 1:1 relation. It just has less of... unnecessary things. Which results in more "parentheses per square meter", but from this perspective that is a good thing!

2) Some people complain that dense code is more difficult to read. But you don't have to turn everything into one-liners! You can format it into just as many lines as the Java code would have, except the lines will be much shorter now, and therefore easier to read. In Java, you don't have much freedom with formatting, because a typical statement takes more that half of the screen width, so you are stuck with one long column. Lisp with shorter statements gives you more freedom. You can abuse it to write hard-to-read code. You can also use it to design beautiful code that is easy to read. Also, there is a huge difference in legibility of a code that fits in one screen (so you can see it whole at once) and one that does not; and the Lisp functions are shorter on average.
Contrary to most comments so far apparently, I'm just happy to see any WASM projects secure corporate backing. I think Ferrous System wrote about it nicely[0], but having people full-time on projects like this has a tremendous positive impact.

Congratulations to the whole Wasmtime team! :)

> Most distributed filesystems don't provide that guarantee though. It's a very nice guarantee, but it comes at a complexity cost, usually a performance cost (although there are clever ways to approach the perforance of a non-consistent system), and in particular it means the filesystems can't be used when the network connection is down.

Which distributed file systems do provide this guarantee? I can't think of one, so hopeful to learn something new today.
Enjoying Obsidian at the moment, will keep an eye on this one too, but honestly can't justify the switch away (note-taking is such a habit-based, "flow" tool) unless there's a _significant_ advantage to Dendron.

I guess everyone values something different. I am happy to pay for these tools, and even have them closed-source, as long as

(1) it can run locally, "offline", and
(2) the format is open (index-able text, whether one file or many)
They're not unable, it's just not how the laws are structured currently - regulation is always an option. Nutrition labels weren't required pre-1990[0], but then regulation made them required, so you can look at the current amount of social media regulation as a result of the United States' governance over the past 20 years.
