F. This is my current manager.

I feel like this is more common among insecure managers than with secure managers. The insecurity shows up in micromanagement. Micromanagement takes many forms, all the way from verbal status updates to toxic code reviews to lack of coherence in project plans or career plans.

Until this recent manager, I never truly understood what micromanagement and insecure management meant. Maybe I was lucky to have good experienced managers in the past. Insecure micromanagement truly crushes my motivation to work.
But that's just playing with definitions. Rephrase it as "zero runtime cost abstraction" and you get back to the intended meaning.

Incidentally your first question is one that's very amenable to testing. When does the Rust compiler spend most of it's time? Is it at the checking stage?
I think because split-debuginfo is recently stabilized (Nov 2020).

Maybe the default will be switched in the future.

Woah. Stop. Great idea.
It has one, I have a Tread and it's referred to as the "key" and has the same type of clip.

Kids of course don't know to use an emergency stop which is why I'm going on and on about maybe not being negligent parents and leaving kids near a piece of power equipment that causes 20k+ injuries a year...

But apparently that's a radical take for HN
I agree. The CPSC graphic video [0], graphically demonstrates the "safety failure" of a Pelton treadmill with two young children playing on an active treadmill unsupervised. While I certainly agree Pelton and other manufactures should attempt to mitigate the dangers of such a negligent situation, I was astonished that parents would allow this to happen. Imagine the same video, but replace the treadmill with a loaded bench press.

Pelton highlights that there is a safety key required to operate the machine and that parents are instructed to store it in a secure location inaccessible to children. [1] No treadmill manufacturer can ever fully eliminate the dangers of an active treadmill to young children and pets, and therefore I think this safety key is the essential piece. I find this similar to locking power tools away from curious young hands.

I don't want this to lead to additional regulation and compliance. Such regulation could even mislead consumers as to the danger of a treadmill. E.g., requiring some autodetection of a stuck belt to stop the motor. A foolproof mechanism would be not only expensive, but require regular inspection and maintenance to guarantee it performs this function. One could trust this mechanism while neglecting maintenance and therefore be further negligent in not securing the safety key away from children.

The suggestion that this is a post the mods would positively influence is fairly ridiculous.
There is not a single general purpose recipe to do business.

My advice would be to understand and focus on your strengths, and to avoid cargo-cults.

And yes, alignment in any company or team is extremely important, this is what leadership is for.
This post says Sid Meier didn't take part in Magic: The Gathering (1997) but Wikipedia lists him as the game designer.

Anyone know the answer?

Also that game was incredible and it's shocking they haven't made anything like it since. Card game RPGs are very hot.

Girly?
Yeah, you can make a hole in some metal. I would argue that doesn't make it a "gun barrel". A barrel will almost always have rifling and some sort of breech locking mechanism. Unless you've got some truly wild CNC setup, you have no chance of both making the hole (even smoothbore) and any sort of locking mechanism.
I think bonuses can work as long as they are an actual bonus. The base salary needs to be correct first. I worked at one place where the base salary was lower, but the bonus made up for it and it was super stressful. I ended up negotiating for a higher base.

One upside I've seen with company performance bonuses is that it can (not always) force even a private company to share more information with employees. This is useful for knowing the general health of the company. Even if the company shares nothing, if bonuses drop significantly or go away that's a clear signal of problems. All too often I see stories of people getting laid off and having no clue it was coming.
True, but that feels more like a critique of Github Pages than a valid reason to keep using Google Analytics.
Something to note here is, that you can get the "source" from most of the non-free electron app by extracting the asar file.

Is anyone doing this for real? It doesn’t seem like it adds any value over a real contract since it’s still relying on the courts for enforcement, and it seems unproven that there’s much demand.

Adding a blockchain also adds a number of complexities which would lower the value: you need to hedge against bugs in the smart contract (the Ethereum folks probably won’t rewrite history again for you), there’s a complex and expensive tech stack you need to support instead of a sheet of paper, and you have limited your potential buyers to those comfortable with that and on your particular system rather than another one.
What’s funny is that bullshit factories like McKinsey and BCG convert shallow insights such as this into billion dollar pipelines. You could turn this blog post into a PowerPoint presentation, and corporate boards will happily pay you $250k a pop to interview people and diagnose their company as too sales or product driven, with the recommendation to become market driven. Even the football offense/defense thing, delivered verbally during the board presentation, will be met with deep nods of understanding and help energize the room and make you look like a rockstar. Some of the board members will literally be thinking, “we need a CEO like this guy”. Once their check clears, you give the same analysis to the next company down the road for another $250k.
On the facts you're dead right but I reject the cynical framing. This is an important story because we want the truth to come out.

It's why, for instance, the first impeachment of Trump was so important, even though you could correctly say there was no chance of success in the Senate. Because of this, safeguarding the integrity of the election becam important to a lot of people, and so Trump was unable to steal the election even with complete dominance over his party and a large, devotedly loyal mass movement behind him.
Google Analytics has many more use cases than looking at vanity metrics to be replaced by a shell script. Something like https://hockeystack.com gets closer.
Ok, here is how I know the entire article is bullshit. When they say 3D printed, they really mean that some parts like the trigger or the stock are 3D printed. The actual weapon still relies on steel barrels and other steel components. The 3D printed portion is often entirely insignificant and sometimes only two weapons out of half a dozen were 3d printed but the articles make it sound like all of them were and that 3D printing was the primary factor.

The article mentions this [0] synagogue shooting in Germany.

>En octubre de 2019, en Alemania, se cometió un atentado terrorista contra una sinagoga judía, en el que otras armas y explosivos, se utlizó un fusil fabricado con una impresora 3D.

Google translate:
>In October 2019, in Germany, a terrorist attack was committed against a Jewish synagogue, in which other weapons and explosives, a rifle manufactured with a 3D printer was used.

The shooter didn't need to 3D printing at all, all of his weapons (he had a complete arsenal ranging from handguns to shotguns to rifles) were made primarily made out of steel. The reason why he couldn't get through the synagogue door is that he couldn't obtain ammunition so he had to use a weak gunpowder substitute to make his own. I consider this proof that strict gun laws prevented this shooting from occurring the way he wanted.

I'm more worried about the ones with wooden stocks, than the 3d printed ones, primarily because he didn't even use them.

Sadly, this doesn't seem like a mistake. It seems like they're either negligent or complicit in spreading propaganda.
I think there's a business case for building a machine learning baseed tool that separates content from crap automatically.

And it's not like there's a shortage of quasi-labeled training data.
The difference is that with football every single week you get to see the score and watch the defense and offense separately. So it is very obvious that your awesome offence didn't make up for your lack of a good defense. With a startup you can end up with the equivalent of the coach saying that although the defense never stopped a single play, the offense should have done a better job running out the clock, and that is why they lost. Or the coach saying that although the offense never got a single first down, the defense should have returned some of the interceptions for touchdowns and that is why they lost.
Niv: Easy dependency management for Nix projects
> A key skill of a senior developer is a sixth sense for this kind of unspoken requirements, and asking questions to flush them out. Not always possible, of course.

While true, a key requirement for even senior developers to function well is good management or a good team lead.

If effective management doesn't exist, the senior engineer should be made manager/team lead since he's doing that work anyway.

On the other hand, if management is micromanaging, then the responsibility of clarification is on the micromanagers.

Management of knowledge workers is a hard job. Most managers are incapable of understanding their reports and understanding their OWN standing among their reports.
Q1: The benefit is that as long as you are connected to the internet, you can make the transfer. It doesn't matter if your bank or your police wants to stop you, you can do it.

Q2: Because when central banks become unreliable, or hyperinflation kicks in (Venezuela, Greece), trade using the central bank currency may become hard. You wouldn't transfer USD→COIN→EUR, but USD→COIN, and then use the coin directly.

Q3: Laws are not computer programs. They are ambiguous and execute in the brains of a few humans. Smart contracts are precise, and they require the entire population of coin users to disagree with the computed outcome.

Your conclusion does not take into account the case of not trusting government institutions.
First, I find it hard to believe that someone who can correctly construct a phrase like "almost as if to compensate for general lack of novelty" to have poor English. Or perhaps your definition of "poor" is different than my own.

Second, why not just ignore the verbiage you didn't want or need? It's easier to remove exposition if you don't want it than to add it in if its missing!
It's really, really hard to get people to do this and get them to actually do it. There's a reason there's a whole industry around getting reviews, ranging from the total scams (either scamming the author, or scamming readers) via slightly dishonest, to honest but totally useless, to those few that actually works.

The best way I've found (and I have someone doing it for me) is to contact book bloggers on Twitter and offer free review copies. You need to be careful (Amazon's guidelines allow free copies for books, with caveats, such as not being allowed to require a review, or offer any kind of other incentives -- anyone doing this should read their rules carefully). But even that is time consuming and it takes a long time to start getting results (people are busy; you're not paying them; books take time to read; about a thousand other people are begging them to review their books).

It's important though - sales are highly dependent on reviews, and things like advertising a book very rarely has a positive ROI if you don't get everything lining up (title, cover, enough reviews).

So if you find a reliable reviewer, they're like gold-dust if you write more books.
I'm reading the same new from other sources in Spanish. I didn't saw anything about making weapons in 30 minutes. Instead I read that they have a lot of supremacist and fascist material, manuals about how make bombs, many chemical products that could be used for weapons, etc.

All your arguments has this implicit assumption of a central authority that you trust to do its job:

- "SEPA is pan-European credit transfers". Emphasis in "European". Good luck _reliably_ sending money to China or across Atlantic _in_several_days_. Reliable 10s is a dream there.

- "Every country already has its native currency." Emphasis on "country". With a central bank that manages the supply.

- "All (democratic) countries have courts in place." Again, emphasis on "countries" and "democratic" (which you obviously felt the need to put in).

The fundamental technical innovation of cryptocurrencies is permissionless decentralized consensus - you don't need a trusted central authority to execute transfers and contracts. That is (in my opinion) where the fundamental "usefulness" of crypto stems from.
While it's understandable that some could write this off as trite, it's the best way to obtain high-quality illicit substances and to sell them through the internet.

This is very important to some people and the current economic systems don't allow that to occur. It's "real" economic value even if you don't think it's right.
do you recommend ABS or ninja flex? LOL.
Yeah, something was lost. According to the police, the person was arrested for manufacturing weapons, possessing explosives, and other sorts of illegal activities. The National Police (similar to the FBI) were looking into terrorism charges and other criminal activities including to a trip/links to Germany. They confiscated plenty of illegal stuff including explosives, bullets, silencers, other gun manufacturing tooling, some partially/fully completed parts, and plenty of electronic documents - including some white nationalism and terror training guide. Two 3-d printers and 11 spools of filament were also confiscated.
If you read carefully, you'll see my comment says: "posts like this" instead of "this post".
I'm not sure if he designed the game as such, but it's widely reported that it was Sids last project before his departure from Microprose.

They have an extremely detailed explanation and process to determine the footprint of Bitcoin transactions.

Anyways, they also have the numbers for Visa based transactions, which can start to give you an idea how efficient the old system of digital transactions are. Its 980,000+ Visa transactions to equate the energy used for 1 bitcoin transaction.

This is smart! Seems like a great way to provide value that’s lacking in other browsers. I much prefer this method of attracting users to some of Microsoft’s other antics.

Now can they make a mode that helps ME avoid websites that make my life worse? (It really shouldn’t be this hard to use a computer in consistently productive ways. But it is, at least for me.)
Brew has more packages and is more popular so stuff is more likely to be available and more likely to work. I rarely have issues with it though I do wish it wasn't so slow and good luck trying to uninstall something.
So it seems like we should blame Reuters for trying to exploit an uninformed audience for clicks, rather than blaming the Spanish National Police.
Well yes, but your original claim was that you cannot 3d print firearms, and you implied that 3d printers are not great tools that make it vastly easier to manufacture firearms by people who do not have years of metalworking experience. Both are (mostly) false. In other words, yes, 3d printers are a game changer when it comes to diy manufacturing of modern, semi-automatic (or even full auto) firearms.

(let's not get into pedantry here like 'I can stuff black powder into metal tubing and make a blunderbuss in a few hours! haha you can't stop me from making weapons!' While technically true, you're not going to rob a convenience store (or stop an invading army) with a diy black powder blunderbuss. What you can do with modern 3d printers gives home users without any experience in manufacturing anything pretty much equivalent capabilities of commercial gun manufacturers of, say, 60 to 80 years ago, which is enough to produce highly sophisticated weapons. True, you cannot make complex ejector mechanisms with lugs on bolts or Glock style firing mechanisms with 3d printers (yet), but you can most certainly make straight blowback guns that reliably fire medium power cartridges like the 9mm. In my eyes, that is a quantum leap in capability, and a game changer as far as law enforcement is concerned).
> EDIT: Are you arguing about performance impact of scanning 500 rows vs 100 rows (though I don't understand your approach either, you're skipping - scanning - 400 rows as well)? The problem of paging is scanning whole dataset.

Cursor+offset doesn't scan the whole dataset, and saving subsets in temp tables doesn't improve on it (i.e. temp tables make things slower). But I'm not sure where we misunderstand each other.

1. You start at the cursor.

2. You offset at most 400 records from the cursor.

3. You read 100 records.

The first point means you don't scan the whole dataset. The second point means for the next 5 pages you offset max 400 records. The third point means you read nothing, except what you want to display immediately.
In America, some stores seem to share rewards member information to product companies so they can target their ads on other platforms. For example, I paid for a very specific candy from CVS using my credit card, but used my partner's CVS rewards member number and they got ads on facebook for that candy while I haven't seen a thing.
With books, the time commitment you need from people for them to "try" what you created is immense compared to other efforts. Like if you are a painter, it takes a couple seconds for someone to have a look at what you created. If you are a musician, a few minutes spent on a track is enough. For a book, you need someone to sacrifice a few hours of their life for a non-guaranteed return, time they could spend reading something that they are practically guaranteed to enjoy. I don't write fiction, and don't read it, but I imagine it must be very hard for someone creating works of that sort.
But a CNC mill can also make a gun barrel, whats so sensational about 3d printed barrel?
Yes, it shields you against your own government by giving an alternative they can't stop or ban.

In some parts of the world, government is hostile towards their own population, either by incompetence or malice. Debasement of the national fiat currency is theft perpetrated by the government and crypto provides an alternative for that.

Can you just use US Dollars? Sure you can. But your government can search you for the bills. Or they can block the specific website you're using or the US banks can be hostile towards citizens of your country (Neteller, skrill and several others outright banned Venezuelan citizens, and some US banks are making difficult the process to open bank accounts)

But how about volatility? Sure is a problem. But with fiat you know is only going down, at least with crypto it can go up.

Is always interesting seeing the threads on HN on crypto and how it never considers an actual hostile government.
This only works if you trust Apple instead of the firm you're running from.

But it does "work". iPhone is the only phone besides a GrapheneOS phone with an intact security model worth writing about.
In principle — and this would be a bad idea even just for the safety of the person running the printer — you could have a multi-head printer deposit powders of charcoal, potassium nitrate, and sulphur in the same internal void while printing in a more conventional material.

I don’t know of any four-head printers, and even if they exist this is a bad way to make gunpowder, but in principle it could be done.
Did PayPal provide any real economic value at all? Shouldn't credit cards already provided everything already?

If you agree PayPal did provide real economic value, you admit the system before it was imperfect.

So PayPal fixed the last hole in the system?
I enjoyed reading the article. However, I think the author is over-generalising a bit with targeting this at "non-fiction" authors. #1 & #2 are perhaps broadly aplicable, but #3 & #4 seem more geared towards self-help books, books about management and the like. I suspect people who read a memoir, an auto-biography, an eulogy or about true crime may well be interested in reading about a topic rather than looking for actionable advice?
I'm still not over the incident, and have regular therapy (and regular nightmares)

When you've been dream deprived for any reason -- lack of sleep, medication, drug use, alcohol -- and you resume sleeping more/better, you will have intense, vivid dreams and these often get interpreted as nightmares. This can happen for really prosaic reasons like you quit smoking or you cut back on how much coffee you drink.

If you know about that phenomenon, it can be easier to see them as simply very vivid dreams and treat them kind of like a roller coaster ride. Some people like roller coasters and pay good money for intense experiences of that sort.

The rest will definitely take time and effort to sort. But I'm hoping a little information here will make things slightly more bearable in the short term because if you were working 18 hour days and likely sucking down coffee to help you cope, that phenomenon of very vivid dreams is almost certainly part of what you are going through.

Yes, those dreams may well be focused on recent stressors. But the intensity per se may mostly mean "I'm finally getting more than five hours of sleep a night again." and/or "I've cut down on the coffee habit now that the drama is mostly wrapped up."
