American young person here: I do the glottal stop thing with "button" but a flapped r with "butter." I think it has to do with the "n" - I would also do the glottal stop for "bitten" but not for "bitter." For me the second syllable is a pure syllabic /n/ - no preceding vowel or consonant.

There are plenty of musicians using classic hardware, not just collectors. Same with guitars.

OP-1 and Octatrack provide a different workflow but the classic stuff provides a truly special sound. While the software reproductions of vintage analog synths get you 90% of the way there, musicians want 100% of the sound. If that weren’t the case then you would see prices of classic instruments go down.

I am not a pro musician however, I just want to noodle every so often for fun.

First time I read "term of art" I knew exactly what was meant. It doesn't seem that obscure.

However, I was already familiar with "start of the art" so it wasn't that great a leap.
Yes, this makes good sense. We do it this way too. Stakeholders and executives can easily grok the top level items, described in terms of their UX and business value, and then those are broken down into tasks that product/tech/design folks can execute on.

Subtask[1] is one tool that makes this really easy and fluid, because you can break down everything into parts and the parts into parts, etc etc.

So, political activism doesn't necessarily mean ending capitalism and demolishing the system. Like, granted, when you play with matches you risk getting burned. But a lot of effective political activism is more about getting petition signatures and pressuring the state legislature to pass an ordinance banning factories from pumping heavy metals into the water table. Stuff that makes a difference, but is monumentally boring (and admittedly, stuff I personally haven't done enough of).

[Edit - And before someone makes a dig about environmentalism-for-its-own-sake: In the above hypothetical, the factories are near an aquifer and there are concerns about drinking water.]
Thanks for linking this study. It seems at first that it proves your point, but note that not everyone is vaccinated against HPV. Older people in fact aren't. If you look at table 2, you'll see that cancer rates have gone up for the general population, but in the group aged 20-39, the rates have gone down for many cancers. I put this onto the high vaccination rates in that population. The data is only from 2016, and in the 2013-2018 period there has been a big jump in vaccination rates in the 18-26 population, so I expect this decline to continue.
I love your comment,"YOLO-ing" gave me a laugh, and a laugh at myself in some previously stressful/complex deployment periods. Terraform was not a friend there.

That said, I've worked on/with a team enabling some fairly advanced & streamlined capabilities across all three clouds because of Terraform. The abstraction matters, and ability to model scaled platform components and architectures as singular units is important. The open source community is great.

Browsing your recent comments, have you considered ... not commenting about downvotes?

I see a lot of "Why am I getting downvoted for this?", "Group think, downvotes, blah blah blah.", "I'm going to get downvoted for this but...", all of which are just magnets for more downvotes.

I think if you just stopped commenting on the downvoting, well, you'd still get the odd comment downvoted from time to time, because hey, you say things people don't like, you're going to get the downvotes, and yeah, people don't always explain why, which I know is annoying ... but you'd at least no longer be compounding it with the three or four follow-on comments that also all get downvoted, and your net karma would probably be fine.
> it is purely a property rights issue that we can't connect more hungry mouths with more uneaten food. There's no R&D to be done, there's no unsolved problem with a bounty on it

Yes, it's a property rights issue.. and more. The problem is motivating those who are holding on to the food to distribute it to those who need it.

Clearly if those who need it are providing valuable service to food producers and distributors, there wouldn't be a problem.

The issue is really, how do we motivate the distribution of food (and other goods and services) to those who need it but can't justify to the producers and distributors and provide for it?

One solution is definitely charity. You pay the producers and distributors to distribute it to the needy. However, this quickly becomes a system that is easy to game. Often it's easier to convince the donor that work has been done instead of actually doing the work.

Another solution is government welfare, but it really comes down to the same problem - the objective becomes just convincing those asking for it.

The central issue is that those who need it but can't justify it are essentially powerless to motivate others to provide for them. IMHO the only reasonable way is to help these people become net producers in the economy or have more political power.
Alright – I don't know what that business actual was, but surely it was a business – that's great. That's one type of a business.

Another type of a business is software products. A business like that can basically be a website. Or more fancily, a web app. Or a mobile app, or a desktop app, or a CLI, or a smart TV OS, or anything else written with code that gets used by people.

Now, people need different things, come from different backgrounds, just behave differently. Analytics software simply helps you learn how your thing actually gets used. Do people drop off somewhere in some flow? How do people use this feature you just built? How many users do you even have? Plug in an analytics service's library and find that out with minimal effort. The basic advice for startup founders is: talk to users. That's qualitative research – product analytics is just the quantitative counterpart. Both have value.

The interest rate varies based on collateral: https://oasis.app/borrow/markets. Eth is between 3-9% depending on liquidation ratios, and wBTC is at around 4.5% and both of these numbers are drops in the bucket when you consider that the collateral has appreciated a lot more than that.

And one more thing, it's not technically an interest rate, it's a stability fee (which btw, gets burned, used to go back to stakers, but they removed that).

Obviously TE is a company for profit. I don't feel it's a bad thing for them to do so. This proves there is a market for such product, and the competitors should see the opportunities and try to make some great design products that would catch everyone's eye. As a result, it should benefit the consumers.
Sure, you have to wait for a while if you don't want to throw cash to TE, but such cool-kids-toys are not expected to be cheap anyway.

While the downvote feature is there, you don't have to use it. I only upvote, but I wouldn't consider campaining to remove the downvote. Having a rule to require a response in order to downvote is not a good idea - we just don't need more roles. But I think that is is proper and respectful to give a comment explaining why you downvoted. I often see such comments in response to my downvoted comments. But I might make this suggestion. Have upvotes and downvotes public. If HN has this information then so should we.

Ask HN: Burntout, Quit or Get Fired?
It thought I was doing better, but it's getting harder and harder to keep working nights and weekends. I'm exhausted and not exercising enough or sleeping well with all the stress.

Work has backed off a bit, and even started complimenting me more (it feels really fake and forced). I'm slowly being removed from projects.

Should I quit? Or wait to get fired? I'm looking, but I'm not sure how long that'll take.

Are there other options?
Okay I think I better understand your point but I think it’s just a logic error.

If I understand, you’re saying the inconsistency of waterproofing one part and not waterproofing others suggests insincerity of the stated waterproofing motivation for the battery.

There are two (related) things wrong with that reasoning:

1. It assumes that any kind of water protection must be holistic to be sincere. This rules out any notion of prioritized iteration. It’s like saying (sorry, car metaphor incoming) seatbelts aren’t a real safety measure because other parts of the car haven’t been revised for the same kinds of risks seatbelts prevent or mitigate.

2. The batteries we’re talking about are substantially more fire prone when exposed to water than the rest of the device. That alone justifies prioritizing water safety measures for the battery ahead of any other component.
> use whatever the cloud you are using has built it (cloudformation, deployment manager, etc).

Not applicable if you're deploying infra across cloud (we do that across a dozen cloud providers!). Without terraform, it'll bring us tears.

> Or about when it just loses tracks of resources.

Never had this in years of using terraform. These should be qualified with how often they occur.

> Terraform does not automatically rollback in the face of errors. Instead, your Terraform state file has been partially updated with any resources that successfully completed. Please address the error above and apply again to incrementally change your infrastructure.

Checkout the code from before the change and apply again. I've done this numerous times and it's been as good as a natively supported rollback.

No for various reasons:

1) We don't live in a gift-based economy. Companies approve budgets for software purchase every day but cannot easily justify donations for many reasons.

2) Individuals have to choose between donating to a software project, or to famous charities fighting poverty and diseases, or save money in case of any future rainy day. Difficult to justify donating to FOSS: you cannot even ask your money back in case of a health emergency.

3) Developers want long term employment/contracting based on trust. Being offered occasional work on bounties can feel dehumanizing and unprofessional.

4) Most bounties are very small and tend to attract only very unskilled developers.

Actually it is out of necessity on some level. My landlord needs me to pay rent with dollars, because my landlord needs to repay a loan to the bank and the bank will only accept dollars. The bank only accepts dollars because if my landlord defaults on said loans the bank will go to court to resolve the matter, and the courts only deal in dollars. Similarly, we all must pay taxes of one form or another, and we must do so using something the government will accept, which is dollars and not Bitcoin.

(You can adjust the currency for whatever country you might be considering if dollars are not the local currency.)

How do you make sure only one person is working on a bug at a time, or if more than one does, how do you split the bounty? I'd be pretty upset if I worked on an issue and then someone else got the bounty or I had to split it, unless I knew that ahead of time.

And if you're going to pre-qualify people for a particular issue, you've basically just gone down the "hire a contractor" path, so you might as well just hire a contractor.

I can't see any reasonable way to make this work.

A friend of mine is an electrician, an in-demand skilled job. He can make +/- 10% working for the government directly, at Lawrence Livermore, or in the private sector. Each has tradeoffs like how interesting the work is or the hours, but in the end the government isn't really less competitive.

Now imagine Facebook steps in and wants to hire all the electricians and is willing to pay $750k/yr. Obviously the entire system becomes fucked and the government (or even "normal" businesses) won't be able to find electricians.

Don't get me wrong... I like my tech salary. But inserting a player into any market or economy with effectively unlimited resources breaks it.

Institutions, like laws, solidify existing power structures, whatever they may be. Though ideologically antipathetic toward each other, the bureaucracies of the U.S. Library of Congress and IngSoc's Ministry of Truth would be more similar than you might think.

I think we're disagreeing about the implied premise that trying to solve a charity problem (e.g. ending homelessness) necessitates radical political action, and therefore carries radical risk of regime change. I agree that radical political action carries a higher risk of regime change, but I don't agree that altrustic policies are remotely that radical. For example, I believe that solving homelessness wouldn't break the bank nor would it significantly affect our institutions or culture (except likely increasing somewhat the size and power of a few psych/medical and housing departments).

Glad we're both attuned to the risk of radical shake-ups though. :)
I trust Coinbase a lot more than Binance. Their fees on the Coinbase Pro exchange are actually more reasonable than the simple user facing app Coinbase app that they push. Especially once you start reaching certain volumes (above 50M$), their fees for market makers drop to 0%. So those heavy traders aren't affected by fees.

And they are very well integrated and trusted within the US financial system.

> So using UCS-2 would actually work for almost everyone except maybe 1.5 billion people.

One of the great things about using Rust is that I don't have to have this argument. There doesn't have to be a debate about whether we should invest in fixing subtly broken code. Rust string-handling which generally works for Europeans will also work for Chinese!

This isn't the fault of the languages which were designed for UCS-2 (then known just as "Unicode"). But the fact that Rust emerged after UTF-8's ascendance means that Rust's users mostly get to avoid the UCS-2/UTF-16 legacy tarpit.
"Term of art" means that it has a technical meaning in a specific field, while "idiom" just means that a phrase has a meaning. For example, "a dime a dozen" is an idiom but not a term of art. If you wanted to avoid the phrase "term of art" for some reason, "idiom" would be a reasonable alternative.

Case against it being all about discussion though, my original comment has been voted down for some reason.

Please folks, just debate me or post a counterpoint.

I think at the very least tie ability to vote down with commenting. In other words, once the user has replied to the original comment, they can vote it down if they desire.

You might think this is a safe place, but I've come to just avoid commenting anything like this that might get "hive minded" into oblivion. I'm sure I'm not the only one. In that sense, it's safe place for a certain "kind" of people with a certain "kind" of opinion.
That actually doesn't work in the general case, because concat!() only accepts static (compile-time) literals. i.e., this is allowed:

but this is not:
