> do not see the same talk about H2 (agricultural workers) coming in to work in US and people arguing that they are making the farm wages depressed.

That’s just because people affected by that policy are not able (or educated enough) to make their argument in any forum you might be reading, and have long resigned to the idea that they are shit jobs anyway so might as well leave them to the poorest of the Earth — particularly when it means everyone benefits from low food prices.

The same happens in the UK (and other wealthy European countries). Society as a whole has accepted that seasonal rural work should be left to a transient workforce from poorer areas in order to keep food prices down. Locals wouldn’t be bothered with those jobs without a significant wage increase, which would push prices up quite dramatically. Even in the context of an isolationist and xenophobic wave, it was always assumed the UK agri sector would be exempted by migration restrictions - and effectively it has been. In many ways, it’s a more honest and frank argument than in other sectors, in its brutality.

I’m a migrant myself but I’ve long come to the conclusion that we should be a bit more honest in this particular debate. Yes, we do keep salaries down, which increases profitability and competitiveness for companies, keeping the supply-side of the economy well-lubricated in the age of global competition. This is largely necessary, unless you want to stagnate like early-00s Japan. It just has to be compensated with higher corporate taxes and more quality services / low prices for everyone, to keep society fair.

It seems like the real solution here is to outsource vacation hour tracking to one of the HR apps for the purpose (see Workday) instead of having the domain expert engineers split the company’s application apart into micro services so they can have a custom vacation tracker.

Bad article, trying to dramatize science. For whom? For those who can only consume science if it is dramatized?
I stopped using TeamViewer after getting hit with the COMMERCIAL USE DETECTED popup multiple times. I did exactly two things with it:

- For a few days, I maintained a connection between my personal Linux desktop and my personal Windows sidearm, because I was using both simultaneously and didn't want to shift back and forth on my desk every 2 minutes.

- Every now and then, connected to my mom's personal laptop, to reset her buggy Bluetooth headset.

That's it. Their heuristics decided I'm a commercial user. I'm guessing it's the first point that tripped them - keeping a connection mostly idle for half a day is probably not a typical thing.
As a European I get mine from Revolut, but I guess there must be US fintechs who offer the same.
I actually had the same thought not so long ago.

When you really think about it you don't need to scrape and sort the entire web to have a shopping search engine. Instead you could focus on the design and have visually appealing ads instead of Google like ads.
They could use that to suppress funding to websites that are not in line with Google world views and boost funding to websites aligning with their views. They could also use this to help website competitors who pay for ad words. My traffic also got down once I stopped paying for ad words, but the increase of traffic I was getting from ads, was nowhere near the size of the drop after I stopped using it. Then they capped the ad sense.
My point is rather than if we agree that large-enough numbers can be data, then there is a number at which they start to be data, N say, then "all numbers greater than or equal to N are data" uses N not as data, but as "counting and measuring". So this distinction is self-contradictory, so incoherent.
It's not, you can literally swap it out for very similar anti-circumvention laws in virtually every Western democracy and indeed almost every functioning country in the world.
Thank you to my colleague Johan Tordsson for giving this talk. I think this is a very important topic, because Kubernetes is neither secure by itself nor (definitely!) by default.
Got the same impression. He writes:

> In high-tech domains, an engineer could readily have a toolchest of suitable computers in the same way that a mechanic has different tools for their tasks. This one has an FPGA connected by both PCI-E and JTAG to allow for quick hardware prototyping. This one is connected to a high-throughput GPU for visualisations; that one to a high-capacity GPU for scientific simulations.

Thats just different PCIe cards. You don't need a dedicated vendor for that, just a screwdriver.

I'm currently working on a backend system written in Kotlin and the Reactor framework, and came to the following conclusions:

- Kotlin's biggest problem is how it handles nullability (that is, it simply enables you to leave nulls in your program). This plays extremely badly with classical FP, and Reactor specifically, because 1. the Reactor "monad" (Mono) can't wrap null and 2. flatmapping an empty monad is not the same as flatmapping on Some(null) for example.

- Kotlin has no syntactical support for flatmap/map, like Haskell or Scala.

- Kotlin has no pattern matching, inline types are still experimental, and it's type system is limited, it is clearly targeted at the UI/Android folks who are not interested in expressing their data in a static way. Making sure that people don't shoot themselves in the foot is great for the average Joe developer, but not so great for library writers.

Having said all that, it's still better than Java, but it's 2020, ZIO is past 1.0 and Scala 3 is around the corner. I'm really looking forward to 2021...
When 4g/LTE was new, a coworker was an early adopter of whatever cellphone that was one of the first to support it. They were getting somewhere ~250 mbps on speed test.

Fast forward to everyone having 4g phones, now in practice I see like 1-2% of those speeds typically.

I have no idea the inner workings of starlink's protocol, but these aspects of wireless seem inevitable. once theres more simultaneous connections than in limited beta, each connection gets a smaller time slice or less frequency band, no?

I do not see how its solved either.

Currently I have rural DSL, approximately 3mbps down, 1 mbps up, but cheaper and reliable. The one person who has starlink beta is posting 200+ mbps screenshots but if everyone here connects I'm skeptical the result isn't slower, less reliable, more expensive than what's already here.
My team has a lot of practical experience with Pulumi, after using custom bash scripts, manually-managing AWS config, some Terraform and CloudFormation in the past. We use it for dozens of services on Kubernetes and AWS.

While we did have to write some of our own tooling to reduce the boilerplate over different services, Pulumi has been by far the best tool we've found to do the deployments. Being able to automatically provision a resource in AWS, then use results from that in a Kubernetes service (env var) in the same deployment, is not something I ever expected to be able to automate.

We haven't had any issues with module availability (I think it uses/adapts Terraform modules to a large extent).
The config as code feels way more approachable and reusable than any other tool I've seen.

I've never had any production issues because of Pulumi. It also allows you to preview changes before applying them, giving a nice confidence boost in the changes.
I'm amazed that the latency appears so low. I used satellite broadband for years here in very rural England, latency was more like 1000ms!

That and Intel hardware became better than what the workstation vendors had.

Around 1999 SGI Octanes were about 50K, at the time NT machines (think Intergraph) appeared that were, for many, many purposes, just as capable. They were 10K.

In addition the MIPS chip was considerably worse than a dual proc x86 machine of the same vintage. I was working at a company where there was a C++ API. Compilation time on the SGI was 2 hours. It was 10 minutes on the Intergraph.

When cards like the Nvidia Quadro and FireGL cards came they were better than SGI machines and cost a few thousand dollars.

This guy worked for NEXT, who were eaten early because they produced massively overpriced workstations that there was a small market for. They didn't even survive the workstation market, let alone the coming wave of better hardware from very large development budgets for mass market parts.
Plugins are a bonus for vim, but one doesn't really use vim just because of the plugins. There are far better editors for this. Decidated vimmer usually make heavy usage of external tools, instead of integration which plugins bring. There is the term "Unix IDE" for this, you can read a bit online about this (for example: https://mkaz.blog/code/unix-is-my-ide/ )
Malpractice law exists but the sums are _a lot_ lower.

He’s set to receive 90k Euro for pain and suffering + indemnification for any future issues with his surviving kidney.

The type 8300 is not a registered standard and the patent includes a payload description: "mac, port-info, vlan-info" (yes some is redundant to the headers, that is explicitly mentioned) and that doesn't fit the data. Maybe "Huawei compatible" in the meaning of "can be understood by their devices, but not exactly as patented by them". If a ring with a second such device is formed, it might respond with a different poem.
Why not use multiple processes instead?
When I saw this headline, my first thought was: "Have they considered the Noord-Zuidlijn in Amsterdam?" That was a line that went way over budget, way past deadline, caused damage to historical buildings it tunnelled under, so I expected it to be way more expensive than other metro lines. Especially considering the massive sprawling metro systems that many other cities have; surely they can't build those if they cost tens of billions?

So I was quite surprised that this article is entirely correct: US metro lines really are way more expensive even than our way over budget line through our muddy, unstable soil.
> Generally, most journalists at a real newspaper or media organization would ask for the original video, not a copy from youtube.

In earlier HN threads about this youtube-dl takedown, it was pointed out that sometimes authors of videos used youtube-dl to download their own videos, because they don't keep their own original; treating YouTube as a repository for their data, much like people use Google Drive, or GitHub.

So even when a real newspaper or media organisation asks for the original, those authors needs youtube-dl to retrieve that original. Or maybe they'll just tell the media organisation to download it themselves as there's no difference.

Off topic, but what a horrible font. I had to switch to reader view to actually be able to read the article.
While I wouldn't want to fire someone for using bad/incomplete/incapable tooling, the Nth time someone doesn't follow the style guide (which is automated for everyone else, but not for this guy because his 1337 editor doesn't support it) or leaves bugs in that are caught automatically for everyone else because of editor support it's time to consider if his constant breaking of convention is an issue and he either needs to use more capable tooling or leave.

Less extreme than the previous poster, I'd actually like to provide JetBrains licenses for my teams and strongly suggest using them. The amount of help WebStorm, PyCharm, etc. give is honestly way too much to pass up and the kind of uniformity you can get from everyone using them is great, all out of the box.

I used to only use Vim and Emacs but there's no question they're much more incomplete tools for development. I don't see why one would pass up JetBrains IDEs considering they have a passable Vim mode and for the languages they have plugins and/or product lines for they're just better.
Because the readme says this: "What features does Ox have and why should I use it?".

Instead it should say: "This is a toy project of me. Learning about text editors. It got pretty far and is really usable. Give it a try."

Also there are zillion articles about "rewrite software x in rust because it's written in evil unsafe C".
The author doesn't say this but i instantly think about it if someone tries to write a better vim.

I went from an SGI workstation that fully decked out cost more than my car would have cost new to a Linux based PC that cost much less than $5K at the time and ended up with twice the computing power. Graphics took a while to catch up though, and it never felt quite as integrated but there is no way that justified the price difference.
Even USB 3.0 is fast enough for many of those use cases and makes it much easier to mix and match devices to get the right balance of portability, power consumption, and functionality. The only remaining problem there is untangling the cable squid on your desk.
Pretty cool. Plans to make it compiling for macOS?
They have their own first party OS/SDK - ESP-IDF, which imho is far nicer to work with directly than Arduino or PlatformIO (PlatformIO supports ESP-IDF, but not always the latest version)

> That and Intel hardware became better than what the workstation vendors had.

Exactly. As much as I liked the environment the premium you paid for what was sub-par performance really killed the market. And when SGI ended up selling intel Windows boxes the writing was on the wall for them as well.

I disagree that next got 'eaten early' though, effectively every Mac you've used since those days was a Next workstation marketed under a different brand. Next morphed into Apple much more than that Apple acquired Next.
USB 3.0 maybe not, but Thunderbolt 4 is, as it can tunnel PCIe traffic at 32Gb/s.

> This is similar to how the US makes sales tax visible to the payer, rather than hiding them behind an invisible VAT. It's about transparency.

Here in Germany, and I believe in all of Europe, every single invoice and receipt I’ve ever received includes both the gross and the net price. It has to because of how VAT can be deducted for business expenses.

Similarly my monthly pay slip spells out exactly how much I’ve paid this month for income tax, church tax, solidarity tax (this one is related to the German reunification), health insurance, retirements insurance and unemployment insurance. It also includes how much I’ve in the year up to today.

Nothing is hidden and most folks know very well how much they’re paying at least in aggregate. We just don’t make it difficult to pay.
Upvote for the Chuck Norris joke. But in all seriousness, very useful. If I understand correctly, this can be used to put all your home-made shell scripts on Github, and then install them on all your Macs using Homebrew. That's really cool because in that case, there's no longer any difference between all the regular tools (ImageMagick, wget, exiftool, pngquant, etc) and your own stuff.
Looking back, it's not like there was anything uniquely fast about x86. They just had more money, so they won.

I wonder how some economists, even Nobel prize winners, do not consider this to be the case. Even if they think Marx is wrong, they do not dismiss him because they think he is not worth consideration, but because (they say) he was wrong. Popper took the same approach.

I would argue that given all the privileges that Society gives to Limited Liability Companies, that there should be one basic demand in return (regardless of profitability, or lack of it)
That is, that all company communications be released to the public after a 10 year delay. Governments worldwide manage to do this after 10, 25 or 50 years.
I don't see why corporations would rate the same privilege. Transparency is the best defence against corruption.

I'm not familiar enough (or at all) with DKIM internals to know which side is broken, but I had a DKIM verifier extension on Thunderbird, which would verify either against a cached key or the current key.

One person who emails me rotates their keys often (weekly or so), and unless I read and verify it a day or two after it is sent, the verifier complains, and there's no way for me to know that the message is authentic. I have to trust my service provider that they did a timely DKIM verification, and I don't want to do that.
I like Rust and terminal editors but the Readme really put me off, I advise the author to either remove the bit about the other editors or take the time to really study what people like in them, because there's a lot of nonsense in here.

The part about Vim is almost entirely missing the mark, but arguably so does the part about Emacs. The real brilliantness of Emacs is that almost everything is an Emacs buffer. The interface is extremely uniform: text file, configuration menu, completion buffer, compilation log, IRC chat window, it's all the same "widget" with just some customization (keybinds, coloring) on top. You can always copy/paste text the way you're used to, navigate the buffer the way you're used to, everything is uniform and consistent.

Ever felt the frustration of having an application pop-up a modal with an error message and you want to search for it online, only to realize that you can't select the text so you have to copy it by hand? That can't happen in Emacs. Ever been annoyed that your custom bindings and shortcuts didn't work in all the parts of your editor? That the way you interact in the main text editor is different from the input box in the search dialog? In Emacs it's all the same thing.

I switched to Vim a couple of years ago but this uniform interface is still something I miss. Maybe one day I'll bite the bullet and use Spacemacs.
My Guess is that 99% of the companies do not need such a solution. But 1% does. And if you target them, you have a business. Unfortunately that 1% does not frequent here (I guess).
Without the Apple deal NeXT were toast, just like all the other workstation companies. They just didn't have the resources needed to elevate NS to the level of polish of OSX, or the market power to engage that may developers on their own.
