Wow, no bites in 13 hours, so I'll bite: If not job postings, where are these mystical jobs offered? And, don't just say "networking" as if that completely describes the process.

I've been in the business for over 20 years and have always gotten my jobs from public postings or recruiters reaching out, who inevitably point me to the public posting as part of the process. I'm unaware of these other Secret Squirrel channels for getting jobs, despite people always telling me they totally definitely exist!
This seems really great for times when I want to boot up a PI but don’t want to bother with finding a display and PSU for that display, and I don’t want to unplug my computers display. A quick display for simple things.
I do feel like anger and the vengeance it drives (in particular irrational vengeance that goes beyond restitution) has some evolutionary advantages.

In many ways it is like the doomsday device in dr strangelove... the fact that it is not rational, and will be carried out even if it is not in the continuing best interest of the person enacting revenge, acts as a stronger deterrent than a proportional response.

It changes the game theory to know a person will enact revenge forever.
How can we PM you?

Also, PM me if you're working on this problem (to anyone reading this :)).
Information about toxicity to pets would be useful as well. If you have pets this it's something you should know about, as many common house plants can seriously harm or kill pets if they ingest the leaves, which can happen when you're away from the house, for example.
I’ve been wondering how much this is true versus it’s just how it has been getting older for most people for a longtime.
> This is a mischaracterization of the YIMBY position. Most YIMBYs are not opposed to raising taxes so that the city can pay for the construction of affordable housing units.

This is false. YIMBYs opposed the recent prop I to tax >$10M real estate sales to fund “emergency rent relief and permanently affordable housing.”[1]

In the 1970s, a Canadian composer named Mort Garson composed a full electronic album meant to be played to house plants. It's called Mother Earth's Plantasia, because it was primarily distributed at plant boutique in L.A. named "Mother Earth".

My dad had a copy lying about that I used to listen to in high school when I'd be studying. It turns out its become a cult classic online, as a sort of pioneering electronic work [1][2]

Anyways, included with the original album is a wee book suggesting that plants benefit hugely from listening to music. Whether that claim has any basis in reality aside, Garson also names 15 hassle-free plants for the home. I can attest to the fact that they are easy to take care of as a relatively new indoor gardener.

They include:

Chinese Evergreen, Sansevieria, Spathiphyllum, Palm, Nephthytis, Philodendron, Boston Fern, Piggyback, Maranta, Dracaena, Dieffen-bachia, Aspidistra, Pothos, Ficus and Grape Ivy.

I suppose that's one approach. Mechanical brakes work by converting the kinetic energy of the vehicle into heat via friction, it seems fitting that inductive brakes would dump energy to heat by running current over a resistor. Though under normal braking circumstances I don't know what percentage of the vehicle's energy is lost to the brakes themselves and what percentage is lost to the friction of the tire with the road.
This isn't the Windows ecosystem. Apple breaks everything all the time, and there's hardly a squeal. There is no company less afraid of "de facto stable" than Apple.

Lots of truth here. I’ve always wondered “to what end” do humans and economies compete. Everyone dies in the end. I’d rather not slave away my limited time in this universe thinking that my work in design systems is really doing anything other than automating parts of a designer/developer’s job.

It seems stupid to toil. Humans should be smart enough to invent an economic system that provides for everyone, leaves none unhoused, and doesn’t force 40+ hour weeks on us. The problem is that someone will always run against the grain of standardization of something like this to exploit someone and profit outside the lines.
Surprised how this is in the front page. I had a similar feeling of bewilderment that I had when reading Das capital- fancy in theory but after several decades of wasting your/others life, discover it’s unimplementable
I agree about points 1 and 3 (especially writing to negative indexes being very weird), but I disagree about the other half.

2. This is not a serious issue. I think it is unfortunate that you can't use a built-in function to map over a Map, but this isn't what the article is saying.

4. This could absolutely be fixed? The reason we "can't" fix the NaN issue is because we don't want to break JavaScript backwards compatibility. TypeScript version 3 could outright ban this action and it would be totally "fine" (modulo migration pains in existing codebases). Fixing this wouldn't affect backwards compatibility with the emitted Javascript at all.
Floppies are an interesting case because the protocols and physical specifications are all documented publicly, which means that one could literally build a drive from scratch today --- the trickiest part being the heads, but considering that they are many orders of magnitude lower density than HDDs, it would not be a big obstacle in the future.

(I believe 8" floppy drives have the same interface as 5.25" ones --- and there's no shortage of adapters from the retrocomputing community for those, some of them even open-source.)

Tape is far more closed, AFAIK most of the common formats are proprietary and the specs are behind NDAs and other walls.

Since when does Apple care if they are blamed?
I agree. There is nothing to suggest that something can't both behave in a regulatory environment and exist if that environment fails. Cars, for instance - They require registration so long as the body enforcing registration exists. If that changes, cars can still run.
For what it's worth, in any urban area, the 1000 feet above highest object within 2000 feet horizontally is much more likely to apply. While the actual regulations are somewhat loose on definitions, most pilots I know would describe the "500 feet from anything" fallback regulation as being applicable only when there are no structures or other populated places nearby.

In any case, raising floor altitude for non-RC/unmanned aircraft to 2k feet would pose fairly substantial challenges as, even ignoring the fact that airports require approaches below 2k feet and are often near populated areas, lots of commercial applications for light aircraft require low altitudes. Survey, photography, news gathering, law enforcement, sightseeing, etc. These are many of the same applications drones are posed for... there doesn't really seem to be any way to simply separate these types of traffic entirely.
There's a very useful and up-to-date writeup of the four main types of geothermal projects, and the latest (AGS) that features 1) no injection wells or other fluid contact down-hole, 2) re-using existing oilfield wells when possible, 3) no need for "hot rock" steam flashing, and 4) no parasitic energy use for pumping (thermosiphon). Well worth the read.

The author, Dave Roberts, is a reliable read in the energy world and has recently launched a Substack dedicated to energy.

Great. Reminds me of the start of a Murakami novel. "I was cooking pasta in the kitchen, and carefully preparing a simple salad, when I noticed the clock in the wall began ticking backward. That wasn't all, outside... "
There's definitely a salary ceiling in software. My first few years in the industry, I made double digit percentage increases by changing jobs. The next few years were more like 5-6% to change jobs. Nowadays, I don't expect any increase at all--you max out and every company you look at coincidentally offers about the same amount. Unless you go into management or are lucky enough to get one of those one-in-a-thousand nosebleed FAANG offers, you're plateaued around 10-15 years into your career.
Why is flagging a problem without having a solution a bad thing?

An efficient market kills profit, essentially by definition. Whether public securities are an efficient market is a whole different question.

In general, a profitable strategy needs enough capital deployed into it, or into counter strategies, to actually shave away the alpha. Unless these strategies get massive exposure with millions or even billions of dollars at play, they'd avoid this fate. Even still, a few years of beating the market can be all it takes. Remember: "beating the market" isn't important, getting a good return is. If I beat the market by 10,000% in 1 year, then underperform by 2% for 30 years, I'm still very rich.

Also food for thought: the most popular strategy in the world - "buy and hold the top 500 public companies ranked by revenue and weighted by market cap" is still profitable and has "alpha" over the previous benchmark (treasury bonds).

Perhaps another consideration is that strategies based on real economic indicators and underlying physical realities (like increasing corporate profits and low rates) have enough momentum to maintain profits even with copycats.
AGS systems (e.g. Eavor[1]) don't need "hot rock" to be cost effective and can supposedly be operated in just about any area.

iirc using numeric literal values there's a coercion step—a console example:

let arr = new Array(10);
// 1e1 => 10
arr[1e1] = 1;
console.log(`arr[10] === 1 => ${arr[10] === 1}`)
console.log(`arr[1e1] === 1 => ${arr[1e1] === 1}`)

So -0 becomes 0:

arr[0] = 2;
console.log(`arr[0] === 2 => ${arr[0] === 2}`);
console.log(`arr[-0] === 2 => ${arr[-0] === 2}`);
arr[-0] = 3;
console.log(`arr[0] === 3 => ${arr[0] === 3}`);
console.log(`arr[-0] === 3 => ${arr[-0] === 3}`);

Maybe not for non-technical people but what I'd like to have is something like Docker Compose for virtual machines. I.e. just give it a description of what you'd like and the hypervisor takes care of building immutable machine images and setting them up including networking and potentially also backups of data volumes.

There are a lot of tools that do parts of this but connecting it all is a lot of work and in the end you probably end up with something hacky.

Would it increase the drag if you spun the rotor faster? My intuition says not, or not by much, but I don't know.

Here's a tip I learned from taking care of house plants for the last year and half.

'Note that when you buy a plant, it usually comes in a "potter's pot" which is a small plastic container meant for temporary use. Ideally, you'd buy new pots (terracotta or ceramic) and re-pot your plant with additional soil.'

Instead of repotting into a new pot, keep the plants in the "potter's pot" and sit that in a nice decorative pot. As house plants grow they will need to be moved to larger pots or even require root maintenance. Getting plants out of a fancy ceramic pot is a lot hard than the thin plastic "potter's pots", and appearance wise they look just as good.

I agree with the author, but I think he is railing against a very specific type of mindset. The people he describes have confused "trying to be successful very hard" with "being successful". This is something people do with many things, where they believe their external show of effort is somehow more meaningful than their internal push to achieve the thing.
This seems like a good thing my. Copyright protections are way more important for small artists than huge companies but our system has it backwards. The fear isn’t that someone’s gonna make an unauthorized print of your art at Kinkos ans hang it in their room but that a huge company is going to steal and sell your work only for you to find out later. I know HN probably isn’t super in tune with the small inde artist community but it’s rampant and super frustrating because companies know you can’t afford to fight them.

But this law seems to undermine itself by allowing the accused to decide whether to opt-out. The point of this is to enable copyright holders to protect their works who wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford a case going. Why wouldn’t the accused always opt-out hoping that the accuser drops the case due to it not being worth the legal fees?

Like I want to use Hanlon’s razor here but if this is true then this seems like too big of an oversight and that the real reason for the bill is to enable well-funded copyright holders to go after people cheaper. Which is, ya-know, exactly the bullshit evil side of copyright that everyone hates.
Or just take the German approach and reimburse people who aren't convicted as well as guarantee everything else you would lose in the US in that event as well. Which is entirely why their court system is far more choosey over who they take to court. Unlike the US which is basically a lottery where the odds are much much higher than any powerball and have terrible consequences if you win.

Multi-exit technical co-founder looking for a startup
Hey all!

My name is Braydon. I'm a technical founder. I'm 28 and have been programming to some degree for about 17 years now. I have deep experience in most modern tech stacks used today. I can do full stack, mobile apps, web apps, infrastructure and efficiently work my way through most things.

Over the last decade I've founded or co-founded 3 tech companies that have result in small to medium sized exits. These companies were..

Sitrusy (mobile apps)
Spreesy (social commerce)
Poke Radar (Super niche tracking app for pokemon go that Glu Mobile bought, you probably used it)

Since the pandemic started I've been mostly been independently working on a D2C company I helped co-found 2 years ago that now takes less than 5 hours of my time per week, as well as a bunch of random personal side projects.

I'm looking to potentially join an early stage startup in the idea or mvp phase.

I'm not looking for any particular space - just something novel that could provide some real value and is not a me-too product or service.

>But what made it a terrorist attack, as opposed to an act of revolutionary war, is that it was intended to be very public and to frighten the populace.

This was true of many of the events leading up to the American Revolution too. Tarring and feathering of tax collectors, the Boston Tea Party, etc. At the time, the vast majority of Americans were Loyalists and would have been made afraid by these acts (and in fact that was the point, this is why many of the participants of the Boston Tea Party dressed up as Native Americans, to instill fear through their "savage" appearance).

If you want to say all these are terrorism too, then fine, I agree. Most people's definition of terrorism is a political one, where they can denounce acts they don't like and support those they do, and there's little consistency applied. If you're one who applies consistency, more power to you!

>Consider: murdering a witness to stop them testifying against you. That has a primarily tactical objective. Not terrorism.

>Killing someone who owes you a debt, on the other hand, is terrorism because it serves no tactical purpose (you definitely won’t get your money) it is only meant to instill fear in your other debtors.

To play devil's advocate, isn't there a tactical objective primarily in the latter example as well? By instilling fear in your other debtors, you increase the profits of your lending enterprise.
I wouldn't think so. I reckon they've probably absorbed the vast majority of non-gamers and people who don't need Windows for work, but neither of those two groups is small.

Thank you for putting in the good fight. It will take a high-profile level catastrophe akin to the Challenger Disaster for the industry to move on from the current state and formalize even basic things we've known for decades such as category theory and functional programming.

When the state doesn't have to foot the bill taking you to court, of course they don't care. If the procsecutor had to pay all your legal fees if they lost, we'd either get some pretty amazing state prosecutors or ones who who only accept evidence from cops that can convince a judge.

It's almost as if you stop cops from just locking people up it creates an immense snowball effect on the whole system...
I don't think it's a problem. It's another symptom of the min/maxing culture this article is taking aim at. There's a culture shift that's taken place in the last few years which says no one's allowed to complain unless they have a better solution. Seen it rearing it's head more recently in very rigid ways. From my observations, it kills creativity in it's tracks and instead of making everyone carefully consider what they complain about and solve problems better, it quashes anyone's ambition to say anything for fear of becoming a target. I've seen the targeting happen in such childish ways too. "If YOU think it's so shit, then YOU fix it."

The first cool thing about play.golang.org and play.rust-lang.org is that you don't need to setup a project to quickly test something (this is especially a pain in rust as you need to set dependencies in a Cargo.toml file.

The second cool thing about these services is that you can easily share something you made (if I was making a VS Code plugin like that, I would give the option to create a sharable link to a play.golang.org or play.rust-lang.org page

The third cool thing is that you can easily compile using different version and tools.

That being said, if only the first cool thing was implemented, that would already be cool!
Yeah, the command is literally (cd ~; ln -s source-location/{.,}[A-z]* .) which is a lot easier than installing all that stuff.

40* years ago I was using an IBM 029 keypunch, and sequencing my cards using an offline sequencer in case I dropped the deck.

Today I use an editor that knows, semantically, the context of everything I type. It suggests nouns, and checks compatibility. It automatically shows me documentation for APIs. It knows several hundred common pitfalls to watch out for and suggests corrections for them. It even auto-formats my code so I don't have to dink around doing that.

We've come a long long way in 40 years.
