...dropshipping isn’t just about pushing buttons. It requires a skillset.

If it didn't require a skillset, then my idiot brother-in-law stands just as much a chance at success as I do. If it didn't require a skillset, then the smart entrepreneur will hire a bunch of folks with no skills who will consequentially work for cheap, and make them do the drop-shipping. But as another comment on this page said, the real money is selling courses to people that think the road to riches is paved by button clicks of unskilled people.
Just buy a Brother printer. Mine is probably more than 15 years and runs very cheap and no failures. Haven't even changed drum yet. 3rd-party toners very cheap and can be easily found online.

Considering the popularity of Vim and Emacs I sometimes wonder if I'm missing out by not using them over my preferred editor, but whenever people describe their reasons for using them in lists like this, I see nothing that I would consider an advantage over my current setup, and then just forget about the whole thing.
Amazing, it takes so much work and tooling to make a simple, decades old IC. Modern processor fabrication is simply magic by comparison.
The Schengen Area ( /ˈʃɛŋən/) is an area comprising 26 European countries that have officially abolished all passport and all other types of border control at their mutual borders. The area mostly functions as a single jurisdiction for international travel purposes, with a common visa policy. The area is named after the 1985 Schengen Agreement signed in Schengen, Luxembourg.

We had enough problems with "hardware can't remote" with server equipment that they made systems to control them. Those systems are useful even if you're in the same building and just don't want to go hang out in the cold, loud server room while you figure out the problem, and everyone wonders if you're even working today (since they can't see you).

Or you might not even have access to that room.

We just haven't had much motivation to do this for a more general class of hardware, and there probably haven't been enough non-pandemic motivators to build such things, and it would be pretty macabre to build a system just in case there's another pandemic, or to buy the thing if it existed.

Time sharing hardware with someone on the other side of the planet, for instance, might introduce too much delay for a Big Red Button. Apparently it's about .25 seconds if you're in the room. You can do a lot more damage in another 200 ms, and packet loss could make that delay bigger.
In around 2010, I made a conscious decision to go paperless, or at least as much as possible.

At the time I remember wasting so much paper trying to get inkjet printers to work. I’d had enough.

I bought a HP laser jet printer, which I replaced with a wireless one in 2015.

I’ve never replaced the toner since I bought it and it prints flawlessly, quickly every time without fail.

I get that people are unhappy with HPs motives but I’m a happy customer, and if it’s any conciliation taking this approach will result in HPs business model not working out for them.

Good luck.
Here's another book I recommend: Course in Machine Learning by Hal Daumé III: http://ciml.info/ , pdf at http://ciml.info/dl/v0_99/ciml-v0_99-all.pdf

Are the Ethereum people still trying to make that moniker stick? Oh dear.
I have seen hiring manager on this site say they wouldn't hire anyone without opensource experience. Sometimes they say something wishy-washy about how contributing to open source is such a specialized skill that they don't have the bandwidth to train someone new. At other times they are more willing to blatantly admit that they just want someone who's capable of spending all their free time writing code.

I tend to wonder about the legality of it all. Since when did judging candidates on what they do off-the-clock become acceptable? To make it easier, if I don't have time to do open source because I am heavily involved in my religion, does that start to toe the line of acceptable work qualifications.
The issue is that a vaccine would be given to billions of people, whereas the virus is only infecting hundreds of thousands per day. Because vaccines are given to healthy people that may never be exposed to the disease the bar for safety is different.
Only a medium of exchange. Too volatile with no source of trust to be a store of value or a unit of account.

Fiat money relies on the trust generated by the central bank. Non existent in crypto.

So is not money.
And we're saying that we would rather deal with a tiny number of outright racists (who can be re-educated or ignored) than the vast pernicious soft bigotry and racism of the modern left that is infecting everything from academia to science. It's a classic case of "the road to hell is paved with good intentions" and the complete refusal to even discuss it is a major problem.
I see some open source authors having success with Patreon. I’ve been trying off and on since 2017, I think what I’ve lacked is production quality and consistent updates. Getting crowd funding is a job ontop of just developping, no doubt.
Trudeau is supporting Canadian company Telesat who will begin launching LEO satellites late next year. I don't expect Starlink to cover northern Canada but I expect Telesat will.
I'm not a musician but I noticed this problem with games. I have always been a dopamine addict with a short attention span. If I find something exciting it will be easy for me to get sucked into it.

I now have an issue(addiction) with competitive multiplayer games. I get really good at them very quickly, I even won tournaments before it became a career option. However, I realized these are causing massive anxiety in my life, hurt my ability to concentrate, hurt my ability to stick to a project and destroyed my sleeping schedule. One of the worst games was Rocket League. I uninstalled multiple times and like an addict told myself I will be responsible this time and reinstalled it.....to end up where I began...angry at 3 AM....at a dumb video game. Since then, I completely uninstalled it but Warzone has filled that void....I have to stop playing that too as it is too addicting for me.

Single player games are not an issue and are actually calming as it seems that it is the competitive aspect that keeps me engaged.

Reading books also helps me significantly and has improvement my attention span.
Debugging those issues always seems like a Sherlock Holmes episode to me. Especially when errors are logical and more specifically in this case hidden in an upstream dependency!

You are free to renounce the citizenship, although it's not free (as in beer) to do so.
Can you give an example of a scheme that this might help him set up? I believe that there are none, unless he pays a significant exit tax to give up his US citizenship.
A non trivial amount of on boarding is because "this is the most efficient information to ensure these learning agents have as they navigate their environment seeking rewards"
Even with Brother, you should be mindful of WHICH you purchase. Some like the MFC-L3770CDW I purchased have higher running costs than you would expect, for example. I knew this when I bought it, deciding that my low print volumes made it worth higher running costs vs the lower upfront cost (if I have a massive job it’s cheaper to send it to a print shop anyway without getting into the real $$$ printers, and otherwise I print tax documents annually and occasionally print a few pages every month. I use the ADF to scan documents on a weekly basis however, so the cheap upfront cost for a auto duplexing scanner is a huge win).
The main problem which global state introduces, is making the bad assumption that there will only be one example of a given sort of data.

In games, that's a safe assumption for many parts of the system, since you're definitely only going to be running one instance of the game world at a time. So making that state private just means you have to pass around references to it on the stack, and keep track of what you're doing.
ANECDOTE:
I came to Canada at 3 years old with first generation parent immigrants in the early 90's and we all had citizenship within ~3 years (I was 6 at the time).

Things are most likely different now.
One of the problems with Haskell for game development is, because of the novelty of lazy evaluation, it's very difficult to learn what causes space leaks, and it's difficult to learn how to debug them. If you're already an expert in Haskell this might not seem like a big deal, but it certainly makes adoption a lot harder.

Another related issue is the level of abstraction is so high that it makes it harder to be extremely optimal with memory usage and access, which is something game developers love doing, even sometimes when they don't strictly have to.

I love programming in Haskell, but I'm highly suspect that it will ever be a widely used game programming language. It's very good at expressing computations in the abstract at the expense of being good at telling a physical computer exactly what to do. Game programmers tend to prefer languages that fall in the latter category in my experience.
Sorry, but the learning curve of a programming language matters a lot. It's already hard enough for people to read and write code, so to learn another hard language like rust is not something you do lightly.

Rust is a cool language, but it's a cool tool, nothing more. I'd rather see the ownership process implemented in some C/C++ dialect. I'm not entirely sure, but I think that C++ concepts, in a way, have the same goals than ownership.

Safety doesn't always matter. It matters for a company like Mozilla and anything that's network/system related, that's for sure, but for games, I'm not so sure.

Also, statically typed languages that compiles to machine code are a niche now, new languages in that area don't really matter. You either have kernel code, or interpreted languages. A big quantity of C/C++ userspace code is fossilized code. Computers are quite fast for a lot of interpreted languages.
I do not understand why selling citizenships is wrong. If both the seller and the buyer agree to a price, what's the problem?
Looking at the links others posted, I'd just go the scavenger route... it would be easier to build stuff around any processor instead of making your own.

It's simply amazing how bleeding edge modern fabrication is.

Alacritty is more lightweight/cruft-free IMO, and cross-platform. Personally I don't want iTerm's settings menu or tabs; I do want one configuration that I can use on multiple platforms when the need arises.
My favorite Pico-8 game is a Factorio demake that can be played in an hour https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=30631

Pico-8 also has a basic music synthesizer so you find many pico-8 songs online if you're into 8-bit music.
My attention is so valuable I'm wasting it on Hacker News when I should be working!
In which case you pay an "exit tax" equivalent to the tax hit from liquidating all your assets, e.g. capgains on all held stock.

Renouncing citizenship never works as a tax dodge, unless you have some reason to expect large future gains in your assets that aren't reflected in their current market prices.
Good? Good for buying drugs on Silk Road (back in the day)
You can circumvent most of that by hiring the international remote person as a contractor or by having him incorporate himself as a consultancy firm and then buy consultancy services from him. It also becomes trivial to fire (don't renew the contract!)
Really enjoyed the read! Thanks for taking the time to write this down.

It's easy to forget, that if you are running "Python" in production, you are actually running CPython on a x86 VM configured with a bunch of *.py files. When things go sideways, you might find yourself in a situation where knowing CPython internals becomes relevant.
Also, from HPs perspective, people buy a printer, use it, but then they use up the initial ink, and buy cheap knock-off ink. It's not as good, it gets clogged in the heads, or people don't want to waste ink running the cleaning, etc, so then people hate on the printer and HP.

Instant ink charges you by page, so you can run cleaning cycles as much as you want, do everything you need to do that maintains a good experience, and people just pay for what they actually use in output. I see the appeal.
Vim doesn't load it all into memory. Sed and perl means you are writing a program to deal with it. I already have a program that can deal with it.
Yup, and it's the one topic where a subset of HN commenters continue to overlook an incredible amount of technical/product deficiencies, just because it could potentially make them rich. If it had actual utility, people would be spending it and not just hodling.

I doubt they're public, but I'd really like to see graphical models of that.

"Hrmmmmm, if we put 100 satellite into this orbital plane, we'll cover 74m people, 25m of which have shit internet, 5m pissed off Canadians, and with an average monthly spend on data of _____, and on average using Xgb/s in peak hours, etc." But if we shift the plane a bit to the left we'll get....

I also wonder how they'll price discriminate it all. Flat rate really doesn't make sense if they're constrained for capacity.
Oh interesting! That's why I think the "design a printer around an accessible cartridge", or starting with a laser printer would be a better approach.
Additionally the FBI were called and Marak was charged with reckless endangerment for the potentially explosive bomb making materials found on the premise, including potassium nitrate, magnesium powder, sulfur powder, copper powder, aluminum powder, hobby fuse and mixing cups, and books about military explosives, booby traps.

So yeah "seems something is going on with him"
I feel like you could do a single-image rebuttal to this article, consisting of a timeline of various popular code editors/IDEs that have come and gone since 1976, and how many of them are still around.

I mean, fuck, I've only been in this industry since 2011, and that's still long enough for me to recall the "rise" of half a dozen code editors (SublimeText! Atom! Intellij! VisualStudioCode!). I imagine most people don't like re-learning their entire workflow every couple of years, and just want to get back to coding.

Agreed rolling your own has hidden costs too and is often not the right choice.

Ime, though, this lesson has almost achieved meme status. So while both types of mistakes are made, the "hidden costs of 3rd party tools" is often not a consideration at all. The node "left pad string" debacle is the archetypal example here.
One quite literally can conclude nothing useful from that. They got the same feeding, it says so in sentence 3. It shows the testing laboratories were a great variation in the outcome, not the chickens. The free range had a bit more fat - is that good or bad? "Vitamin A and E levels were not affected..."

So what point were you trying to make by posting this?

I'm getting fed up with the quality of posts here, you can't base your reality around what feels nice, give us data or stop making baseless claims.

Is it true by market value? Bitcoin itself is worth something like $200 billion. What's the biggest counter-example?
you still have to pay exit taxes on renouncing, so not clear this is a good way of avoiding tax.
It's a parable wherein the landowner is the Christian god, the work of the vineyard is the work of his will, and the denarius is salvation. It doesn't have anything to do with people getting paid fairly, it has to do with the Christian god's generosity disrupting notions of fairness.
As long as they use this version in their own products and update when RVV is finalized it should work out fine.
I went to the same high school as Sergey Brin, a little over a decade after he had and well after Google had become the de facto search standard. Didn't know until I was already in college. AFAIK he's never made an effort to reach out to them, grant resources, give a talk, anything. It's a majority-minority public school in a solidly middle class (like, actually middle class) suburb, so it's not like they're flush with funding. Whatever his relationship to it had been at the time, you'd think he'd find it within himself to give back a tiny bit from the exceptional fortune and life that he's built. The reality, though, was that a lot of us didn't even know who he was, even though all of the school computers had their homepages set to Google.com.

I think that's emblematic of Google's regard to reinvestment. Even the products which made them so powerful in the first place they regularly abandon.
The author seems to be referencing a project of theirs with a Finnish name, so perhaps my intuition as a native Finnish speaker can help. In Finnish you’d likely pronounce pijul [pi-jul]. If I were to pronounce the word ”in English” starting from that basis, the smallest change is, I think, to make it [pi-zhul]. That is, ”pee-jewel” but with short vocals instead of long ones for both words.
I'm pretty sure all your complaints about this can be legalized away.
Answering the title question as written:

Because IDEs are a trap. Skills wither.

Whenever I find a spelling error in a variable or field name duplicated hundreds of times throughout a code base, I know an IDE has been there before me.
Right. When he does it, it's so "obviously" a joke. And yet something tells me he would have no problem accepting help from anyone, legally or otherwise, if he thought he wouldn't get caught. I submit that maybe there are some things that presidential candidates should not even joke about, because even the whiff of impropriety should be anathema to decent, serious people.

I don't think GP is confused.

GraphQL lets you write queries for objects. This fundamentally changes how you architect your app and database.

In a REST API, you turn known a finite list of known query patterns (endpoints) into DB queries, which you can test, hand-write, and optimize.

If you let end users query your object model, it takes far more work to ensure they don't do something very expensive.
Mathematics is very annoying to do remotely. If a bunch of people cannot physically gather around the same blackboard and point to the drawings, something fundamental is missing.

No, value of stocks is independent of "technical analysis".

We don't talk about the people who agree with you, because it doesn't come up.

Enjoyment of something can be substantially reduced when you find out someone else is taking all the credit for your work, however. And the transition can be a bit shocking. In many cases these are probably the people we are talking about, in other cases it's someone discovering that they don't have the luxury of doing this passion project for free anymore.
Does it prevent the presumed IQ loss?
If not then it's not useless but not very relevant either way.
Thank you for your work on Postgresql. I'd like to pick your brain a bit more if you don't mind :)

What is you view on Postgresql not having a true clustered index like ms sql has? I mean that the table is maintained sorted by PK all the time (table is stored as btree). Do you think there's a possibility of MS sponsoring it? Our experience with Postgresql shows that as the biggest drawback for many popular workloads compared to other RDBMSes.
Some websites use fonts with programming ligatures, so I'm still subjected to them in those code blocks from time to time.

5. Abolish capitalism

- Create whatever you want, license it public domain

- Everyone who needs it uses it freely

- Value all products based on their labor/resource content, with floating pricing at edge of productive network (delta between cost and price is not realized by seller)

- Receive living wage UBI derived outside of taxation (because it's destroyed on spend it can be printed endlessly), survival is not dependent on ability to sell yourself to a hostile market

- Die well fed (see UBI)

Seriously, how much longer are we going to run on this ridiculous treadmill?

Particularly important to remember for programmers, who probably have a natural inclination to prefer to characterize what they do as "work" rather than "meetings".
You get a pretty high exemption for salary earned abroad if you paid local taxes on it and the country has a tax agreement with the US, which most do. You're still taxed on income earned within the US normally, but it seems reasonable that if you earned income from rent from a US property, or received dividends from a US company, that you should pay taxes on it even if you are not in the country.
No, it (specifically BTC) is not a medium of exchange, according to the author. And, really, how many people out there are actually buying and selling things using BTC? From the article:

> The major original claim for Bitcoin was that it would soon become widely used for buying and selling goods and services, the “medium of exchange” function, which might in fact have justified calling it currency. That claim has in every way failed to be realized.
I'm not sure I see what the problem is with these pensions. Standard retirement advice is that one should save enough money to live in retirement at a similar lifestyle that they lived while working. If the idea of these pensions is that your salary is lower, but you need to set aside less for retirement, what is the issue?

As far as the $2 million figure, if you go to any retirement calculator and try to figure out how much you need to save to have a similar lifestyle in retirement as to working, you will indeed find they advise you to save $2-4m. In the private sector, you're expected to do this on your own, but you get a higher salary to compensate. Looking at my own career, a comparable government job seems to pay about $40k less than a private sector job.

If your argument comes down to the public pensions being too generous relative to private ones, shouldn't we instead make private pensions more generous? Why do we want old people who work their whole lives to have a massive step down in lifestyle when they retire? Is that what you want for yourself or your parents?
A bit late now isn't it?
