Great, but then they better be supportive of remote work, a proper transport infrastructure, or getting affordable rent prices.
That's only partially true. Having dealt with these from both sides, I'd say you need to be familiar enough with some language (not necessarily c-style) to be able to write code on the fly ...
(in America) There’s no such this as “overtime” in most salaried jobs though. You’re paid just for being an employee, not for hours worked. Whether you work 35 or 60 hours, it’s the same pay.[a] As a result, employers don’t have to worry about overtime pay, only burnt out employees (but entry and junior levels are disposable, right? /s)

[a]: This also leads to the employer expecting one to be “on call” 24/7 regardless of your position.
From what I understand a quick and accurate algorithm for protein folding would allow researchers to more easily create proteins with the structure they want. Create a sequence, fold it, see if it has the desired structure, tweak sequence until done.

This is quite useful since proteins perform basically all work in life
I agree, that you have to be careful with this. That's why I am proposing a hard threshold. You have to give a person an exceptional amount of money, but then you are free (or at least more free) to negotiate a contract.

Hindering someone to do their work, who is earning way more than an employee is one of the reason why IT and engineering salaries in Germany are so low. IT freelancers in Germany are hindered by regulation originally designed to prevent outsourcing of factory staff to the lowest bidder.
>> In Oslo snow and ice can lasts up to 5 months.

According to wikipedia, average lows in Oslo are about -5. That's pretty warm. Salt still melts snow at those temperatures. Even sunlight will melt snow on pavement at -5. But below around -10/-15 salt stops melting ice, vastly increasing the manpower needed to clear roads/sidewalks. Clearing ice at proper winter temperatures requires mechanical means, hammers, if not propane torches.

No idea. I still use emacs because it's still the most programmable editor. I had some hopes for Atom, but after Microsoft bought GitHub... seems dead-ish.
My first thought was that PG made a mistake blending these two topics since the discussion of what works in a YC interview is being short-circuited by the reflexive political discussion of billionaires.

My second thought is that it wasn't a mistake.
That number seems to indicate why they've started to use all the dark patterns for people to create an account. You can no longer see comments other than at the top level. Some subreddits require registration to view. All these things are artifacts of the new design that do not exist on old.reddit.com.

I'm thankful HN is not designing for 'engagement' or MAUs at the UI level.

Eh? It’s not useless and it’s not all marketing, and it’s certainly not all about feeling superior. I feel like you’re projecting.

It’s completely simple: I enjoy reading content on a higher res screen. It’s clearer and easier on my eyes. That’s all there is to it.
> If you're not completing enough work because you're abusing pseudo-unlimited-PTO-via-sick-days, or you magically get a cold every Friday before a week off, that gets handled by your manager directly. But it doesn't make sense to penalize the 99% of employees who are responsible and honest.

this just sounds like a shitty situation all around. it really sucks to suspect someone / be suspected of something that can't be conclusively proven one way or the other. if you can be fired for being sick too often at convenient times, you don't really have unlimited sick leave in practice.

I don't think someone like Warren Buffet 'exploits' anyone in particular. Of course you might have a very loose definition of exploitation.
Wikipedia is a complicated mess? So's the world, and for many of the same reasons. Look at the average town ... yours, for example. Where -wouldn't- you take visitors?

What matters to Wikipedia visitors is content quality (and managed depth) and reliability. All the rest is froth. Layout? Are you kidding?

Could it be better? Hell yes. It'd be great to see many articles, written by committee, visited by a professional editor with years of proven experience -in that category-. The Foundation's got the money to pay one per category. Each has to visit 5 articles per day. Each they finish is locked and marke 'pro-edited in (the year)'. Make that fact a search filter. ('Administrators' choosing? Brrrr.)

Then there's Wikibestia.org. Every year, copy a limit of 1 million articles there. Chosen how? Poll the visitors, it's theirs! 'Wikibestia ... the people's choice!' 50 net downvotes? Guillotine! Big contest, media advertising, whatever.

Articles that can only be read by subject-matter experts completely miss the point. They're just there for vanity or whatever. Flag them, give them one year to move to Wikiexpertia, while versions for non-experts are prepared (or not), then delete.
Making porn illegal would not work. The issue is that these sites allow people to upload their own videos where they are not required to go through the verification process a normal porn production company would. The solution is to prohibit content from random users by putting very stringent requirements in place requiring age and constant verification like the mainstream producers.

Yeah I dunno about that. HotJava was aggressively awful to use.
But this is exactly the nature of the problem: a company that has basically the power of big government dictating what people will do without their previous approval. The very existence of such a company is anti-democratic. Now we are stuck with a single company dominating a public service (internet) that affects the lives of billions of people around the world and we don't have a say on how they manage this network.
full coverage, yes, that's relatively uncommon but the most popular fonts will have a wide variety of languages and that adds up even if you don't support Chinese but do want coverage of the range of fonts designers want to use.
If you are homeless there are ways to get postal service from your local post office. Postmasters can grant free PO boxes at their discretion (1).

At least in America, a good portion of it is a cultural difference. The EU tends to take worker protections more seriously without considering collateral damage (according to some). OTOH, America just does nothing because there’s an entire political party who’s big premise is “any and all regulation is bad regulation.”
I don't doubt it's used that way, but that makes absolutely zero sense.

For that matter, it's 1080p that's half the (linear) resolution of 4k.
> Let's not inject people with experimental vaccines rushed to market under significant political pressure.

I'm less worried about political pressure, and more worried about the very real pressure being applied by the virus. There have been tests which have been safe thus far, and in my opinion there is less risk in moving forward with testing and distribution of the vaccines then not doing so.

> Let's not pressure strangers' decisions either way.

I'm of mixed feelings on this, and my overall opinion is that it depends on who all is able to take the vaccine.

If there are few restrictions, maybe this would be okay. However, if there are enough restrictions that there will be a sizable number of people who cannot take it, we need to get as many as possible out to try to protect them.

[Edit: This is referring to legal pressure. I am of the opinion that it is not unreasonable to encourage others to take vaccines if they are able.]

> Far more money in this career path. I've made more some days writing junk code than I ever made in a year in a lab. It's easy to see why some scientists might be incentivised by external factors...

First of all, I'd like to apologize for my ad hominem attack earlier. That was uncalled for.

Second, I find it hard to believe that scientists would be pushed to do something actually dangerous on this sort of scale, and like I said earlier, I find the idea of not combating the virus more dangerous then moving forward as quickly with vaccines as can be safely done. However, it's quite possible that I just have too much faith left in humanity.
You should get to know EU cities outside tourism capitals, it sucks just as well.
I SO agree with this comment! Nowadays the only place in which I'm incentivized to deliver as quickly as possible at my personal project/micro-ventures. But at work I also work 4 hours or less, and those 4 hours are after I have worked and given my most productive/creative time to my projects.

So, if less than 4 hours and whatever is left of my brain is enough for my company, that's all they'll get

Cannabis is however legal in multiple states in the USA -- including Oregon, Washington, California, Colorado, and a few others. I have several state-licensed cannabis shops within a 10 minute walk from my house, which sell flower and various edibles and smokable concentrates.

Oregon also just decriminalized possession of all drugs, for personal-use quantities.
>It is a fact that usage went down with decriminalisation.

Saying something doesn't make it a fact. You need to cite a source.

>It is, but it is still legally clearly defined who is consent and who is not, because of insanity etc. (the problems of this process is a seperate issue)

Durr. No. It's not clear. Many countries have legal definitions of adult but many countries also have treatment and government rehabilitation plans in place for adults who act "immature" this includes crime and drug use. It is not clear at what age range does a human suddenly deserve zero treatment and enforcement.

>But feel free to discuss your personal agenda of war on drugs with someone else.

Likely your personal clarity comes from the fact that you're a drug user yourself. You have a personal agenda.

I have no agenda. If you want to shoot yourself with heroin and make it legal I honestly can care less. But what I came here to discuss is whether decriminalization is an effective deterrent or not. I may think it's right or wrong to implement something but I personally don't care whether it's implemented in actuality because it doesn't effect me personally at all. I am possibly the most unbiased person here because I have no foot in the game.

If you don't have a personal agenda then I'm wrong. But tell me, do you use drugs yourself? Likely you do...

>Drug taking is at most directly hurting yourself.

This is my entire argument. We protect kids from hurting themselves because they are immature. The question is why can't we protect adults from hurting themselves because they are immature. That is the controversy.

> It will probably have unintended consequences like lowering salaries, increasing the intensity of workload during permissible hours, outsourcing or entirely eliminating some types of jobs. Ultimately, it just reduces the pool of possible arrangements between employers and employees.

It's very frustrating to see the all the money and effort that has been poured into preventing copyrighted content from being distributed, compared to the paucity of interest in preventing reuploads of a known rape video.
Well you get more out of books when you do something to interact with them more than a linear stream of text. These sort of "self-improvement-hack" BS systems are good for the kind of people they appeal to, but you don't need a form to fill out or some regiment. Likewise not every piece of text deserves the same attention. Some things don't need to be read at all, some things skimmed, some read through once, some with a bit of reflection, some with extreme studying over years.

Just the exercise of doing something regarding the text. Keeping notes in the margin, discussing it with someone, writing a review of the material in long form or in bullet points, keeping track of questions you have, etc. all enhances what you get out of a book. You might resent it as a chore, so you just figure out what works best for you, maybe it's nothing, but trying something different from time to time can't hurt.

My advice is to keep a pencil at hand when you're reading to take a note, underline a passage, or if you don't like writing in the margins, a notebook to the side to highlight things you think are important, things you think are questionable, questions it raises in you, etc.

After that, share it. When you read a section, explain it to your partner, your cat, an internet stranger, to yourself in your notebook, etc.

It would be awesome if uBlock Origin was able to dynamically determine a size limit based on how long assets take to load. Perhaps this is a task for the browser itself, though. Monitor throughput and latency and adjust page load behavior to limit or delay large elements.

I wonder, though, how the client determines the size? Doesn't that require at least a HEAD request, introducing another round trip?

I believe you're being downvoted for two reasons:

a) While touch typing is indeed a useful skill to have, suggesting that people shouldn't care about a certain feature because you can, in a sense, work around it, is missing the point.

b) Keyboards aren't just different in how they are labeled. I know of the ANSI layout, which is present on this laptop, and the ISO layout, which is used in much of Europe, has a differently shaped Enter key and other differences. There might be other physical layouts I'm not aware of. I can touch type on an ISO keyboard, I can't on an ANSI keyboard. And frankly I'm not willing to adjust to a different layout just for my laptop.

Redditisfun is the only thing that has kept me on there (and I'm still pissed somebody stole my username).

I haven't accessed the desktop site in years, because it defaults to the new reddit.

It smacks of when /. changed their layout; there was a huge to-do and users lost their mind. I haven't been back there in, what, 9 years?

I guess, the moral of this story is, what is the reddit replacement? Because so far I have found nothing that compares.
honestly, i don't know anyone that really uses reddit's chat feature. most communities have their own discord server by now.
I think there is quite a bit of evidence that "Residential areas are different from commercial areas in good parts of the world"-- they operate under different regulatory regimes. For example, insurance, and health & safety standards.

Hotels have to have commercial liability insurance. Hotels have to maintain certain levels of fire safety, and food sanitation, etc.
It answers the question with a "hello, world." To do more sophisticated stuff, like what you want, you'll need to replace or wrap the standard single-thread Executor with your own Executor. There is exactly one method you need to implement. For example:

Executor ste = Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor();
Executor myExecutor = task -> {
if (task instanceof Thread.VirtualThreadTask vtt) System.out.println("Scheduling " + vtt.thread() + " on " + Thread.currentThread());
ste.execute(task);
if (task instanceof Thread.VirtualThreadTask vtt) System.out.println("Descheduled " + vtt.thread() + " from " + Thread.currentThread());
}
var myThreadFactory = Thread.builder().virtual(myExecutor).factory();

A union that disincentivizes leetcode problems will reduce the ability of candidates who are best at rote-memorization problems to advance while protecting the ones who are mediocre at rote-memorization problems.

In this case it happens that people who are good at rote-memorization problems probably aren't the best people to lead the industry. But the union doesn't exist to serve the industry, it exists to protect the people working in it.
I really appreciate your candor here.

I've long been opposed to the Leetcode battery interview processes, to the point that I started asking FAANG recruiters that several years ago, and saying that was a showstopper for me, like a signal for how they treated people. Though I otherwise wanted to work at a couple of them.

After consulting levels.fyi, however, I've revised my opinion: if an employer is willing to pay a higher-level software engineer 2x the total comp they'd make most other places... whatever interview process they want suddenly becomes a rich and honored cultural tradition, to be treasured, and approached with the utmost reverence and humility. :)

That said, for people who've frittered away their discretionary time on things like open source, hobbies, family, etc., rather than drilling for FAANG interviews, the well-known "test prep" commitment for Leetcode-oriented companies is a barrier to even applying there.

Around the time leading up to the TCL war, Lua was peacefully and quietly born in a manger at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil:

"In 1993, the only real contender was Tcl, which had been explicitly designed to be embedded into applications. However, Tcl had unfamiliar syntax, did not offer good support for data description, and ran only on Unix platforms. We did not consider LISP or Scheme because of their unfriendly syntax. Python was still in its infancy. In the free, do-it-yourself atmosphere that then reigned in Tecgraf, it was quite natural that we should try to develop our own scripting language ... Because many potential users of the language were not professional programmers, the language should avoid cryptic syntax and semantics. The implementation of the new language should be highly portable, because Tecgraf's clients had a very diverse collection of computer platforms. Finally, since we expected that other Tecgraf products would also need to embed a scripting language, the new language should follow the example of SOL and be provided as a library with a C API."
