it's rough out there still for contractors. I quit my cush job at age 43, worked a few high paying short-term gigs. It was nice because I could make in 3 months what I normally would make in 6, but then the pandemic hit and it absolutely dried up. After a year of no offers, I finally got a fulltime offer for decent pay. I'm in the same boat. We're too old and too expensive now for web development.

I'm tired of being interviewed by kids who think React is how websites should be built and are half my age.

You were in leadership so I guess that took its toll on you. I'm a principal engineer now and so far I've just been improving the framework (vue) and optimizing performance.

I suspect that they will dump some huge feature on me soon and I'll be back to being a grunt.

I'm actually thinking of going back to school part time to become a financial advisor.
>How is this even a question?

>Since when are private actors obligated to let them speak on private platforms?

This is the same argument slave owners used to defend their "private property", and that business owners used to ban black people from their private property.

So, judging by the history of human rights, it's a perfectly valid question

Lack of Funding, Ads revenue and Interest. The owner has mentioned this multiple times.
I think it really comes down to the A-bomb and how large it loomed in the left politics of the mid-twentieth century. Unfortunately, I think well-meaning greens have majorly contributed to climate change by opposing nuclear. The mistake is understandable, but we need to be reversing it as fast as possible.
I don't think her gender matters, it's about Luke Stark's peers that she has support among. They happen to also be her peers, but that's not the point. If she was in a different field, or not in academia at all, but supported by his peers (which wouldn't be her peers, but might be her fans, or subordinates or whatever), it would be the same result.
As far as I know there are also economic problems with nuclear. Nuclear power plants are enormous investments, then take decades to build and eventually decomission. If renewable energy gets efficient enough, nuclear is not worth the effort.
There is an HTML to Figma plugin that works pretty well. I don't remember what it was called though...

Texas, one of the most obnoxiously anti-fed states, requires annual inspections.
> Power in all forms corrupts whether its corporate, governmental, or union. No organization of humans is free of these sorts of things which is why individual freedoms are important. OP's naivety was the ignorance of the aforementioned condition of human organizations.

This isn't an argument against unions, it is an argument against any kind of human organization. Its more damning to how Tesla is now then to Tesla with unionized workers. Following your logic you should be all for unions and if you took it further, anti-capitalist.

Also, power doesn't corrupt. It reveals.
What if I told you you could be a communist and condemn the atrocities done in the name of communist government. Though calling Chinese government a communist is same as calling North Korea a democratic republic.
Certainly one obvious example is that, given sufficient capital, I can give it to a wealth management person at a brokerage, give them some guidelines, and pretty much sit back.

You can also become a silent partner in some business where you collect a skim of the profits while someone(s) else do the work to make sure the business continues to produce profits.

I was answering the vein of someone who wants to put in a largely one-shot investment of time and continue to collect money over a subsequent period.
Many (if not most) libraries don’t work correctly with add_subdirectory.
Yes, another way to discredit someone with a valid concern is use name calling as the basis of their argument, just like what the parent post does here. School yard bullies used named calling to socially destroy the reputation of their victims and isolate them. Adults use the same name calling to do the same thing, they just use different words.
I don’t know, cost differences that exemplify the concept of “orders of magnitude” could be one reason.
Great idea. I come from high-frequency trading and robotics, and I'm interested in a fairly broad range of B2B software and some B2C. I do have some deal flow through my friends, although I could always do more, and compare notes/share opportunities with others. My email is my profile. To the rest of you who posted, I'll try to reach out to you!
It really amazes me that people keeps using FileZilla or dedicated ftp graphical clients in general. Linux and Windows has built-in graphical clients in file managers, and I don't recall if MacOS Finder has the same.
Right and The Trump White house was specifically told by the Mayor that they did not want their help. They stood by awaiting the Mayors request, the Sergeant at arms request. The hold ups were in the hands of Democrats the whole time, who had an agenda to push. You don't think that it crossed anyones mind that more controversy would bolster the narrative?

You haven't once in any of your threads acknowledge the failures of others, all you want to do is push it on Trump.
You aren't here for discussions and debate you're here for bashing and that's counter productive to the discussion.
So, don't touch it. WinSCP for Windows and Cyberduck for macOS.
When this sort of thing happens, the customers of a company need to sue it for whatever you sue a bad engineering firm for, plus what you sue a crooked accountant for.

I mean, they were told about a flaw and didn't pass that notice to the product team but sued the reporter of the problem. That's proof that they understood the flaw. Nobody sues over a mistaken bug report, or if they don't understand the impact.

The entire legal team should be disbarred for knowingly conspiring to hide evidence of customer impacting flaws. Every lawyer of theirs who saw the proceeding should never lawyer again in the free world.

And then you should go after the management and board who are always equally guilty in these cases. Directly after the people - all the joys of modern cancellation, with charges of dereliction of duty, fraud, conspiracy, etc. Leave them with a smear even if the case doesn't proceed, like their malicious lawsuit could have ruined the bug reporter.

Get them to say stupid things to cover "CEO: I had no idea" and use those against them. "CEO incapable of managing company, in his own words". Guilty or incompetent. Pick one. There's no way to accidentally sue someone so this whole episode is malicious.

Nobody in management or above from this company should ever have a paying job again without someone swooping in to garnish their wages.

Hey HN! Founder of Amna (https://getamna.com). To build a productivity app today, we need integrations with a bunch of existing services. We did a bunch of work messing with these APIs, so we built a shared library that works over Gmail, Outlook, Microsoft-Todo, Github, and bunch more to put them as singular interfaces.

We monetized it using Libmon. Basically a one-time token you can purchase that gives you access to call the library (you can try it it without purchasing as well, with some limits). There's no overhead, it directly calls the respective APIs.

We might open-source it later, or provide source access to token purchasers. Still figuring that out.
This is the real issue. It's 3x as expensive as other renewables. Every dollar of subsidy producing 1 MWh of nuclear could provide 3 MWh of solar or wind.

Added to which, being a baseload power source is not nearly as useful as being dispatchable (like hydro and natural gas are), and it's insanely capital intensive (which leads to cost overruns - see hinkley point c, corruption & fat profit margins).

It's got real lobbying muscle though, especially from defense and military.
Investing into something like Tinyseed might be what you are looking for.
There's two basic paths to doing this on your terms:

0) figure out policies re: PTO at termination, vesting, etc, so you don't get screwed

a) find new job

b) plan how to distribute knowledge to others in 2-4 weeks (or whatever separation time is customary)

c) bring plan to current management

d) work on the plan if management accepts, or chillax if management deems resignation immediate (or check with new employer about moving start date)

Or

0) same as above

a) plan to retire

b) make it known you are planning to retire and push back on new work

c) finish up things / document and hand them off

d) when you run out of things, give 2-4 weeks notice

e) tie up loose ends you forgot (or don't if your resignation becomes immediate)

f) chillax (and fix a lot of stuff at home you didn't have time to realize was broken)
Is there a working example of a website that is using this?
Localbitcoins seem to do the same digital KYC dance as Coinbase. So you will probably also have to copy your passport for them.
You have it backwards. We should be worried about being forced to broadcast political messages we think are lies.

The real problem is that Facebook is in a position of such power and market control that moderation feels like censorship.
Performance aside, that thing looks beautiful
Sadly, that's not a very high bar to set...
Yeah, the RasPad 3 was designed before the CM4 was announced. I expect they'd have incorporated it if the timing had been right. Looks like the Cute Pi (linked to elsewhere here) meets that criteria, albeit with some I/O sacrifices (ethernet port, etc.)

After a week of using the RasPad 3 with an 8GB Pi 4, I can say that the battery life averages 5 hours. The fan on it isn't PWM controlled, and I'm amazed it gets 5 hours with it spinning at 100% the whole time. Luckily the fan isn't overly loud. The Cute Pi likely will beat it in these aspects.

I have to say, that the thin tablet UI on top of Rasbian isn't so great. The touch keyboard works, but is a PITA. So I wouldn't recommend using it the recommended way without something like Lenovo's bluetooth trackpoint keyoard. I wonder how the Cute Pi will differ. There are a number of touch-focused UIs available for Linux through GNOME, KDE, and others. See PinePhone for examples. I wonder if one of those would have more polish than what the RasPad 3's Rasbian flavor has.

In spite of it's many flaws, I am stoked to have something in a tablet form factor that I could connect to my LAN and run services from. Right now, I use it to chat online and pull up web pages while I am gaming on my Linux desktop PC. I'd like to see how it can help with streaming - a seperate device can keep it up in case of a Proton/Wine crash on the PC. Versus a hypothetical laptop, the tablet form factor gives some more flexibility in terms of how I position and mount it at my desk.
There's a lot of straw men being fought in the comments again.

The main issue with nuclear power in Europe has always been the storage of nuclear waste, for which many countries still don't have a long-term solution.

Proponents of nuclear power like to pretend the opposition exists merely on the basis of "but what if it goes boom!", so they don't need to face the reality that countries like Germany are sitting on a lot of nuclear waste right now that is just "temporarily" stashed away in various places - some of which already had issues with flooding, like Asse II.
Yes, they do. If you drive a car, heat your home via gas/electricity, use the internet (to post this) -- you signed up for it.
The economic problems are tied directly to policy problems, like the broken regulatory structure. For instance, as I understand it, a nuclear plant that began construction 10 years ago and is ready to go online by the standards when it began construction has to comply with all regulations created since. This makes creating new plants very expensive.
No it is not. Land is just land, and different countries put different policies on top. Just because some land "is yours" doesn't universally mean you get to exclude others from it - as much as you think that's obvious and natural because that's how it is where you live/grew up, the idea that your land is off limits to others is entirely artificial. It's a choice your local government made with regards to land rights.

Other places take a very different stance, where land is just land, and you don't get to exclude people from it just because you own it. If you put the land to use, then that part becomes off limit, but merely "being the owner" doesn't confer the right to cordon it off, and people are allowed to freely traverse it. You only acquired the right to generate income from that land.

(e.g. folks can't go prancing about your crop fields, but if you own 100 acres and 80 of those are left alone because you live in a country where you value conservation, folks are entirely free to wander those 80 acres)

"Actually workers want to piss in bottles instead of being given fair breaks" is a wild take.
Does someone at google want to be the "trusted entity"?
What attacks would these measures stop? OpenSSL had all of them and was still a disaster.
Curious, I am pro nuclear as well, looking at the technological benefits, but how are we practically going to handle nuclear waste that will be there for thousands of future generations to handle?
Looks like it was a humorous reference to a current event, a "joke" in common parlance.
In that case although, you don't know which system or team is responsible for the 'cop reporting' part. I could be making a very innocent rental state tracking system, and then someone else just accesses the same table without my knowledge and makes a criminal reporting system after the fact.

After a certain point, we recognize as a society that just because you make chairs, your not at fault if someone then takes a chair you made and then bashes someone on the head with a chair. It's the basher's fault, not yours.
He can mobilize but he cannot deploy without the Governors Explicit permission.

THE PRESIDENT COULD NOT DEPLOY THE NATIONAL GUARD. HE OFFERED AND WAS TOLD NO. If Trump forced them on D.C. It would have been yelled that it was a coup.

And I haven't once changed my point. You're just an agenda pushing Troll like the rest. I literally said there were failures in management. You however won't acknowledge that anyone but Trump played a part in the failure.

I'll get up in arms and blame Trump for the whole thing when you blame BLM for all the damage caused by riots.
Okay then by the same logic people do sign up for nuclear by using the electricity for their homes, the internet, etc

I thought so too, until I read the part where she has been paying lawyers $20,000/month for many years, taking care of a retired husband, 2 children in college & 1 in high-school and having health problems of her own. And that's only the costs we know.
It's more a combination of executive CYA and availability of resources (employees, contractors and vendors) who know the product. The actual support provided, even when you are a large customer, often leaves much to be desired. It's usually easier to get the vendor to implement obscure feature X than getting their (significant/useful/timely) help in putting out today's operational fire caused by their product.
Welp... guess I'll die young.

I hope you don’t think you’re pwning them by repeating their point back to them thinking they care that you don’t care about whales and dogs anymore. It’s pretty weak snark, especially because you’re pretending to do something that agrees with their point thinking you got them good.

I saw this sad interaction a lot in the wild when someone at lunch at work orders a vegetarian option and someone else leaves them in absolute tatters by responding “good, I’m going to order extra meat ;)” as if anyone else feels responsible for his choices.

That doesn't really help in the general case. If you can compress arbitrary images down to a single small seed, then you have the best image compression algorithm in the world. The applications of good image compression are much broader than NFTs.

It looks like this project doesn't actually store arbitrary pictures.
I've used PEGs in the past. They're nice since they combine the mental model of LL grammars with the automation of LALR parser generators. However, it is quite easy to accidentally write rules where you never parse the second rule due to the ordering priority for rules. For instance:

ident ::= name | name ("." name)+

Because with PEGs, the parser tries the first rule, then the second, and because whenever the second rule matches, the first one will also match, we will never parse the second rule. That's kinda annoying.

Of course with PEG tools you could probably solve this by computing the first sets for both rules and noticing that they're the same. Hopefully that's what this tool does.
The comparison of a happening with basically no longterm consequences to future generations like MH17 to nuclear fallout / necessary waste treatment is quite lame imho.

Nuclear energy without subsidies is not sustainable at all. Just do the math if you need decades to dismantle and decontaminate an old nuclear power plant alone.

Really good idea. I'd like this for Flutter as well.

Wasn’t that largely due to hype in the media?

I might be wrong, but I was under the impression that toilet paper isn’t really profitable to trade over longer distances, due to the volume a toilet roll takes up..

Except we did decide a private business can refuse service unless its specific discrimination of a protected class. If anything this analogy proves the opposite of your argument.
I encourage you to watch the video and read the various descriptions of what happened. I don’t believe even Mr. Phillips alleges that the boys were attempting to intimidate anyone. I don’t think anyone could consider their actions to be “intimidation”. If you have such a tenuous definition of the term, then surely Mr. Phillips by drumming directly toward the boys (who had just been accosted) is the guilty party. But again, I think that would be absurd to consider it intimidation rather than a bizarre misunderstanding or mere bad behavior.
One reason against the CMakeLists.txt at the root: When you generate a Visual Studio "solution", every target becomes a "project". At work this results in a few hundred projects and VS gets slow. Someone build a Python script to trim it down. This is treating symptoms instead of root causes and adds accidental complexity.

Of course, the root CMake also needs to parse all sub directories which requires time. However, this has not been a big problem in practice so far. Only on the "annoying" level.
Agreed and I think the manipulation of gene and rna is revolutionary. It might be just steps and tools. But if not control, do we still have human is an issue.

There's a great deal of value to making programming environments available in a browser, especially in the context of creative coding and education. I have built and used many such tools which are purely client-side.

There is a world of difference in accessibility between a tool that requires installation and a tool that you can use by following a hyperlink.
If there's a compelling need for a rewrite, then changing languages is acceptable. If the case can be made, and the rewrite is done with due attention to the pitfalls[1], then do it. If there's a sort of vague "this sucks, let's rewrite in language <foo> which is objectively better in my opinion", that's bad.

Someone has already debunked your unsupported current statement about vaccine shortages. While it’s true that there were shortages in 2020, those were resolved in February, and since then vaccination is one bright spot. The US has delivered the most doses worldwide, and and is near the top when it comes to doses per capita. Your statement is simply just not true.[0]

I’m going to focus on your other statement, about AstraZeneca.

The AZ vaccine isn’t approved for use in the US. Whatever doses we have, we can’t use.

I honestly have no idea where you’re getting your misinformation, because your last line sounds like political bias. It doesn’t even make internal sense. What type of positive legacy would a president have if they were giving away vaccines during a shortage? Also, why would you be opening up access to people at lower risk during a vaccine shortage after months of prioritizing the people at highest risk? (California and Florida has everyone over 16 eligible April 15.)

I just don't really see how this is true. Isn't the basic idea to just dig a really deep hole somewhere geologically stable and dump it in? My impression isn't that the problem isn't solvable, but simply that no one has actually made the appropriate investment yet.

That sounds like the same catch-22 as the rest of this. We've thrown up our hands and gone "Not worth it" and then our lack of investment in proper storage is somehow a blocker.
You assume enough customers complain to make it worth changing.
As a side note, I think it's pretty awful of Apple that you have to jump through this many hoops, just to disable this feature.
In the same GitHub organization, there is https://github.com/goplus/pandas, but it seems to not have progressed past a README.
It would depend heavily on the reactor design. Smaller more modularized reactors can probably be built much cheaper with economies of scale by widespread installation. Renewables have hard limits as to how efficient they can ever be and they started out expensive too and heavily subsidized by government.
Nuclear waste storage isn't a technology issue: we know how to store it safely. It's an issue of political obstructionism.
