Sales: Potential client wants feature Y. Can we code it?

Coder: Anything can be coded. Can sales bundle a contract where a SaaS covers that feature for us while we code it? Just to test drive the clients actual needs?

Sales: no

Coder: okay. Do you have data to show that's the actual need?

Sales: I have an email of them saying that's their need.

Coder: okay, no data. What are the odds of the customer onboarding once the feature is done?

Sales: 100%

Coder: okay, no reasonable thought process behind conversion odds. Do you have a memorandum of intent from the potential customer?

Sales: no

Coder: okay, so you have no capacity to wrangle a contract that bundles a third party for feature Y with our product, you have no data or insight about why this person wants this feature, and you say we have a 100% chance of converting to a customer despite not having a memorandum of intent.

Sale: ...... but can we get feature Y tho?

At this point, sales is myopic and thirsty and will use social pressure to force the dev to do something stupid.

The company agrees because they see devs as loot crates: a concept where an interaction has a very low chance of very high rewards.
It might be true, but I'm arguing it isn't necessarily the best.

We need more doctors, if that means changing the culture within the profession so they're more inclined to use those reference material that would be good thing.
> alacritty has vi mode which gives you all of those keybindings

It doesn't give me access to my custom keybindings or the plugins I have setup in Vim. Also I can't select or annotate terminal output and then save it directly into a file in one step.

The multiplexer is both more powerful and flexible by actually doing less and just passing tasks like selection and copying to other proven tools. I appreciate that more than terminals trying to do everything.
Did the word "compression" get cut off due to title length? Or is it intentionally being compressed in the original title as a meta-joke? Turns out it's the former
Some would argue that Rust's advantages over C (or other languages) are so great that it constitutes a crucial feature of the software, and that while it doesn't necessarily indicate quality, it makes building quality software substantially easier.
citation needed. Relatively few people in the HN demographic believe in this nonsense, as you can easily see in the data in the OP.
If the third party carrying out the "justice" is merely implementing the vengeful wishes of the most irrational party (i.e. the victim or their family) then I wouldn't say they are "disinterested" in any practical sense.

Also, by the supposed logic of "restoring natural harmony", if someone kills your family, should you be allowed to kill theirs?

I like it and can see myself using it a lot. Looking forward to trying it with my whole collection rather than individual papers, though I also expect this will bring my computer to a screeching halt XD

One gripe: when asked for a paper title, I tried submitting a DOI link instead and it failed dismally. You could probably reduce server load for title lookup by allowing this as an alternative.

Also, I would like some sort of visual indicator to distinguish between works-cited-by a paper and works-which-cite the same paper. Just glancing at the map, it's not that obvious which is which from color or shape and they're mixed up in the default listing. When I find an interesting paper I often want to dig into its antecedents first and look at its influence afterward, but I don't see a clear visual representation of temporality here.

You can do this with Rust using a combination of rustc, syn and a build.rs file. Then you can execute more Rust code on the parsed AST.

In the JVM world annotation processors or compiler plugins can have access to the AST during compilation. Both in Kotlin and Java.
There's a very good, entertaining movie that is great rebuttal to this take. It's called Beverly Hills Cop. give it a watch and then reread what you wrote here lol
Last I heard, pets were still a one in a million or smaller likelihood. Doesn’t seem a likely place for a disease to bounce around long term. The unvaccinated population is the far greater problem.
Wait till you find out how unnatural most meat is. Its totally full or hormones and ammonia...And just to get ahead of the inevitable response, no, the vast majority of consumers do not buy grass fed / free range / whatever. Its a dodge and impossible to scale to current consumption levels based on land availability.
The Fed has been targeting 2% inflation for years now, and it has never materialized. Inflation can be caused by money supply expansion, but also economic capacity losses (eg. think chip shortages, climate disasters, and cargo ships stuck in canals).
...For those making 1M / yr or more.

Note however that capital gains tend to be "bursty", so having $1M of capital gains in one year doesn't imply having $1M of income in a normal year. (To take a personal example: I had a very large amount of capital gains in 2020 because I sold my entire portfolio of ETFs and bought a house.)
>It's not like the government steps in to make you whole when you lose money

They let you deduct losses from gains and income for tax purposes. This saved me thousands after '08.

I agree with you; A decision that has nothing to do with them is likely to suffer massive backlash. Because if the world doesn't fit their narrative, they will make it so.

I look forward to it. Not saying it's the best strategic move by Amazon, but day by day i grow more tired of the fallout of christians.

Yea, maybe it's just fringe christians.. but if there are reasonable people in their ranks, they're happily silent. They happily co-exist with extremists, and the affect that's having on society is frustrating to me.

If they just lived their life and didn't try to bully everyone else into alignment with their beliefs i'd be more sympathetic. But the less they get special treatment these days the more "Anti christian" they claim everyone is. As if the secular population is out there attacking them. Equality seems persecution to them.
You mean it was a mistake for our distant ancestors to grow feet and walk the earth and that we should return to the deep from whence we came?
Yikes - I didn't realize there were two distinct lawsuits. I guess I foolishly assumed that they would only shoot themselves in one foot?

I'm not sure what to do now that these threads have gotten blended so thoroughly. Will figure something out.
The programming language is a pretty substantial part of the implementation, though, if not the most substantial one. Rust is qualitatively different than a language like C (in that it is memory safe) or Python (in that it is compiled and fast).
I doubt you can compare the American economy of 1850 to that of today... the reason we needed lower taxes before 1920 is because we had a fairly underdeveloped economy. You’re right that it’s best to present the full history, but then you also have to provide context. The period before 1920s was the Gilded Age (then Progressive Era) which was when America was industrializing. I think by “recover to normal over time” you’re making a claim that you’d prefer the economics of 1910 America over 1970 America, which is where we disagree.

Sure, if you’re making a founding fathers style argument, it makes sense, but I doubt anyone really wants to go back to a world where America doesn’t have an interstate highway system or Medicare.

I keep writing poor tutorials (due to space) of Ada here. Check out https://learn.adacore.com/ for more.

Overall I like Go, but for software engineering in the large Ada, in contrast to Go, has:

Explicit separation of specification and implementation of packages and types making it easier to shard the work out to numerous individuals and teams.

What a package exports is explicit, not the result of case conventions.

package Foo is
procedure Bar(N : in Integer); -- exported
private
procedure Baz(N : out Integer); -- unexported
end Foo;

package body Foo is
-- implementations of the above
end Foo;

Generics from day 1, which enabled a set of collection packages similar to C++'s STL in Ada 2005 among other things.

Tasks, similar to Go's goroutines, but have a lot of additional guarantees and behaviors that have to be made explicit in Go.

Protected objects and protected types which permit you to write code without explicitly acquiring/releases mutexes and using condition variables.

Design-by-contract with SPARK/Ada becoming a proper subset of Ada in Ada 2012.
It's my belief that the sentence length affects crime rate indirectly by affecting the collective unconscious. For instance if you see someone who did his time talk about his life in retrospect on the telly that affects you. When you see the (lack of) wrinkles on his face, that affects you. When you uncle Joey misses your birthday bash because he is still in jail, that affects you etc.

I had a different reaction on seeing it.

Yes, it has the striped pattern, but the texture looks completely wrong. Compare their image now with e.g. https://i.redd.it/12cdw2wb55p01.jpg. It's superficially similar; the 'early tasting' picture you link to looks _better_ from a texture perspective, to me.

That doesn't mean it's not tasty, but I would not choose this over the real thing (traditional preparation? idk).
The way I see it, if I wanted my text constrained in a narrow column, I'd resize my browser window. Why specifically take the choice away from users by declaring in the code "512 pixels is the one and only way"? Browsers have given way too much design control over to web developers, taken from end user's choice.
I absolutely abhor the death penalty. I do find this reliance on a single rationale to stop the death penalty problematic though:

- For many people I suspect that there is a combination of level of proof and severity of crime that would lead them to say the risk of erroneous conviction can be ignored.

- Someone will say let's focus on improving the justice system to deal with the errors.

I'd rather the burden of justification be the other way: what does the death penalty actually achieve, with a high burden of proof (beyond reasonable doubt) that as a policy it actually benefits society as a whole.
why are people so quick to wish away the concept of state lines? if there were no (or less) obviously visible state lines in the data, and everything was more of a gradient, I would be immensely surprised.
lmao "Uh, actually, the US is ranked the same as syria and brazil, sounds like someone has an AGENDA" isn't the red hot rebuttal you think it is

I don't want to kill someone. I don't know if or why a person became a murderer.

It could be their upbringing which should be the responsibility of the society and clearly the society failed.

It could be a medical issue. A biological one.

It could be that the murderer did nothing wrong in their worldview.

We have to understand this as a society. We have to teach it if people don't understand it.
Those salaries are also:

1. Unprecedented for "average" engineers (i.e. not leading their field) until very recently

2. Offered by extremely profitable big tech companies or less profitable companies with giant pools of funding

3. Offered by companies that highly value software engineers

4. Offered in extremely competitive markets

The vast majority of employers in Germany, and in most of the world, don't meet those criteria. It's unreasonable to compare the average German tech company to the best paying American tech companies.

Compared to the best paying software jobs on earth, German tech pays pretty badly. But so do most companies. I used to live in a city with a population of ~1 million, and most local "tech" companies paid new grads $60k - $80k, with senior developers landing between $100k and $150k. That's much closer to Germany pay than Silicon Valley pay.

Thanks! Unfortunately that latter article you mention is from February so we can't make it the top level link. Will figure something out.
What happens when you register with the next credit card? It's not like your palm print will change.
You have to find stuff before you lint it.
It's not clear to me if this would solve your problem, because it kind of depends on how you are planning on reacting, but Github and Gitlab have the concept of a Code Owner and it can work for specific files. So if you know that your queries that you want to monitor exist in tidy DB Impl classes or maybe a specific repository, you could be the code owner of those files.

This approach is pro-active because you can block merges that aren't as well thought out, and you can be the final arbiter of when something gets merged.

I feel like it's kind of an out of a box way of doing what you want. It doesn't give you any visual tools or anything that makes the relationships clearer to see, but it does allow you to get closer to the code that affects what you care about.

Also since I do DevOps, if you are competent or your DevOps is competent (aka they are not just glorified Ops) you can create performance tests that either trigger on merges or like a cron job. They can even trigger daily or hourly depending on code change frequency. Then you can see trends, for example how certain inserts, deletes etc change over time, if you have a semi competent metrics driven architecture you could even see how things change over time graphically.
It isn't really "heavily processed" any more than artificicially selecting seeds for edible plants and growing them through aquaponics or other "unnatural" settings.

Lab-grown meat implies that most of the basic cell chemistry of these cells is going to occur as usual. To me that kills many of the stronger arguments against processed food.
That real estate agent fee is sickening. It's shocking that they can charge a percentage of the value of the property. With ever-rising house prices they're earning more and more without doing any additional work.

This money also has to be paid upfront, and so is yet another hindrance for young, first-time buyers.
I don't see how. Qualified dividends are taxed at long term capital gains rates; if those rates go up (for high income) stockholders, those stockholders will be generally less pleased about recognizing the income rather than defering it with a buyback.

As a stockholder, I can always make my own dividend by selling shares; but I can't make my own stock buyback, because I only get a portion of the dividend.

The US criminal justice system requires root-and-branch reform, starting with issues around policing, cash bail, school-to-prison pipelines, and unfair drug and "victimless" crimes.

I mean, if I've never had to maintain legacy code then my opinions on any given language are completely uninfluenced by the "honeymoon period" factor that the article is about, yeah?

Exactly. I see the benefit of this kind of food even if it is somewhat weak nutritionally if used occasionally in an otherwise well balanced diet. Sure, don't do this for every meal, but maybe don't it with regular sushi neither anyway. Enjoy your occasional sushi without the ethical / environmental drawbacks of eating actual salmon, and remain healthy by diversifying food.

I'd be glad too, actually.
Check out Magnitude, we built it to solve that problem: https://github.com/plasticityai/magnitude

It's still loaded from a file, but heavily uses memory-mapping and caching to be speedy and not overload your RAM immediately. And in production scenarios, multiple worker processes can share that memory due to the memory mapping.

Granted it's read-only, so might not be exactly what you are looking for.

They really should just focus on the content, and not obsess so much about how each and every pixel might look on my various browsers, and stop trying to make assumptions and guess about how I might prefer things to look based on silly things like browser width and user-agent string.

Ask HN: Is the data on this FCC site correct for your area?
https://broadbandmap.fcc.gov/#/

I have been searching for a home for a couple of months. Every time I find a place that the FCC says has fiber, it turns out to be incorrect. I put the address into the FCC site: Has 1000mb/s. I put the same address into the ISP, "not available in your area". I should add, in fairness I am only looking for homes at the edge of cities. I require land.

Should the FCC scrap this site or perhaps add a disclaimer, only accurate for large cities?

This would have literally no effect on buybacks vs dividends as both are taxed as capital gains. In fact, it might favor buybacks even more since you aren’t forced to pay taxes on share price increases until you sell. Dividends give you a tax bill every year, even if reinvested.

Also, there’s nothing nefarious about buybacks. It’s just a more tax efficient way to return money to shareholders. There’s no boogie man there.
Container queries have been suggested for a while now, it is not a new idea. But it has gained a lot of momentum recently, for example [1].

Why is everyone so downvote happy on this site now? Its kind of nuts. Are there really a bunch of sad people just reading through the comments for things that they disagree with to downvote? Maybe you're a communist you thinks taxes should be 100%, fine, but why downvote this? Do you think your socialist utopia is just a few HN downvotes away?
It's not really a problem for the partners in the joint private/public venture. It is a problem for the next jurisdiction that is now facing companies' expectations of massive incentives, for the existing residents and businesses that are paying normal taxes because they aren't new, for any but the largest businesses who don't have lobbyists on staff, etc.

There's also the general wisdom that life is better when you're competing to offer more value for more money, not just cutting costs as far as you can
The solution is to combine macOS and ipadOS on the iPad. So you can run iOS apps and macOS apps when one or the other is appropriate.

It maybe sounds weird but I have an Samsung tablet with Dex so I have experienced a little bit what this could be like. Without the keyboard attached, I run in regular Android mode but when I really want to get work done I connect a keyboard/mouse and switch to Dex to get a desktop experience. The downside to Dex is that the apps are still Android apps. But with macOS, you could have full Mac desktop apps running in a similar mode.

Besides the obvious reasons you mention above for why Apple doesn't put MacOS on the iPad, I think the other reason is slightly alluded to in the article: The device is not designed for that kind of computing in terms of battery size and thermal design. They've carefully constructed it to work with iOS.
