okay you're just a troll. Got it. Fun...
As a Jeep owner I was excited for a brief moment.

You are a tremendous contributor to open source software. My visually impaired friend appreciates the keyboard controls of ardour and as a result of your hard work (and his) creates and masters a lot of music without too much difficulty.

So, you know, thanks. You made the world a better place.
What would you be hiring for that you would priorize the 60 second sales pitch over experience data?
Same generation as you, and same experience. It's just that creativity went elsewhere now.

Because there's three trillion ways you can write a program and all of them seem to come with dozens of READMEs and what-to-do and what-not-to-do and very opinionated maintainers, the creative minds of today might just create their games within Roblox or get to know Javascript by making mods for a browser game, or learn to use DAWs to make cool-sounding EDM, etc. This was already a thing in "our" time with Flash and Adobe's software, but now that's the norm.

Effectively those minds have migrated over generations from the pure hardware to progressively thicker layers of software, which makes sense to me since that's how all human progress basically does with any other field too.
PlayOn on the PC is on life support at this point it seems. It uses Internet Explorer and may still have dependencies on Flash, though I think that was more a provider dependency.

It's very fragile and almost like they use Selenium or some other automation tester for UI then just screen cap the whole thing. I say this because it breaks frequently when providers change their UI.

Plugins constantly come and go and stop working.

They amount of support required to keep it going is tremendous and they're pushing the cloud as a service to support and maintain it.
If you don't mind me asking - what goes into implementing a feature like this in Rust? Asking as a complete noob in language design/implementation.
Photoshop is $10 per month in the photography plan on adobe's site, but only on an annual basis. MSRP and business users pay $30+ a month by itself. In either case where are you getting $32 every six months?

I guess the photography plan is competitive, but it's still a subscription. I hate paying monthly fees for anything, especially for something I don't use. Much prefer to pay a higher fixed cost and finance that on my own... and yes I preferred this when I was a poor student; I bought a lot of expensive software back in the day by saving what I could from my $12/hour (in 2004 money) day job.

And believe it or not, being able to open the program and have it simply work, without going through a bunch of login/update/subscription hassle, is really important for creativity. Technical crap regularly derails my creative process when I'm manic with an idea, so the possible premium is worth it.
Giving people cash unconditionally would be much better than requiring them to not have any job . The former encourages recipients to retain their jobs or even look for higher paying jobs, and handles corner cases better(single mom working two jobs ineligible for unemployment on losing one).

It's not clear that the staff would have to be fired. Their work can just be directed to more directly helpful things, such as helping people find jobs, training, child care, etc. rather than operating some arcane qualifying system of dozens of poorly integrated gatekeepers.
Suppose I am an alcoholic drinking myself to death, and my friend is as well. I tell my friend that he should stop drinking.

That would make me a hypocrite, but it wouldn't make me wrong. Pointing out hypocrisy to 'dunk on' people is rarely a persuasive rebuttal.
Same here, never heard of Vamp despite the fact they are present since 2015 with some HN posts. The features list looks sick.
Did I really miss something?
>I've lost count of how many times in Rust I had an "o: Option<(A, B)>" and a "f: fn(A, B) -> C" and couldn't call "o.map(f)"

Non-serious solution:

#![feature(fn_traits, unboxed_closures)]

pub fn foo<Args, C>(o: Option<Args>, f: impl FnOnce<Args, Output = C>) -> Option<C> {
o.map(|v| f.call_once(v))
}

https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/ops/trait.FnOnce.html

"Non-serious" because it won't be stable any time soon, and it's not as concise as `o.map(f)` anyway.

More seriously, I don't think `o.map(f)` will ever happen, because it'll be backward-incompatible in the case of `o: Option<(T,)>` and `f: <U>impl FnOnce(U)` - `U` used to be `(T,)` and now would be `T`. Something like `o.map(spread(f))` might work if vararg generics are added to allow a generic `spread` that works for any tuple and matching-arity FnOnce.
I think my company does offer them, but I think you have to contribute more for them.
By considering employers spend billions of dollars a year lobbying to keep the power imbalances.

Think about the efforts Amazon and Walmart go to keep their employees from unionizing.

Consider how Uber misclassified workers as contractors to avoid providing legal benefits.

Or how every year before the pandemic there was push back on not just raising minimum wage laws but efforts to completely repeal them.

This goes back in history to unsafe working environments, overtime, health insurance, workers comp, etc…

Stock markets are at record highs, companies have record profits, economic inequality is at all time highs…yet businesses continue to push the narrative they pay to much to workers and the would rather strip all Americans of benefits, who really need them, just so they can fill a handful of jobs at below market rates and below living wages.
the domain being “wikidot” really threw me off
You can't set up an Apple TV without providing a phone number to Apple (because it requires an Apple ID, and Apple IDs require a phone number during setup).
You can get work equipment and if you have a separate room for work (look up the definition in Germany, it's no bed and has to have a door), you can get nice workstation setup.

Any domains you get, services you pay for are also deductible. You could hire people to improve your website or marketing, get good copywriting done and pay for those and write those off.
What your describing sounds like a car with low maintenance costs. That means the dealer and the manufacturer make less money.
I really enjoy using Transmit, and feel bad that I don't know about many Mac devs making great products. I also like Many Tricks and Alfred. Anyone have a list of other top mac developer houses?
Mars has a few things in its favor. It has a (mostly) carbon-dioxide atmosphere that can be used as an ingredient to make methane. It has a normal day/night cycle so you can use solar panels without needing to store two weeks worth of energy in order to last through the night. It has higher gravity. In general, it's just a more hospitable place to live even though it's a lot further away.
Probably because it's one town.

Imagine if an entire country did this, or the entire world. The base currency would quickly become worthless because everyone would have it.

This is kind of like saying "can't we all just get along?" because a kindergarten class somewhere in Minnesota has kids who don't fight.
How does this compare to something like move-shoot-move? I think that one costs only $200. Is it even worth it to DIY.
Not sure. When I think of the assembly line, I remember Henry Ford, not the president at the time. Airplanes, the Wright brothers, discovery of DNA, Crick and Watson, etc. So there are counter examples, but I think you have a point that politicians do get to spin the message and take credit for things.
That was mostly in food service and hospitality, wasn't it? Pay is traditionally lousy, working conditions are bad, and there's a pandemic doing on. Can't fault anyone for not going back to that!
Reminds me of this real-world example:

Not necessarily. You get hit by a Mercedes while crossing the street and you could just luck into money without hard work.

I wonder if a UBI, done well, couldn’t help compete with foreign companies who enjoy much cheaper labor. The UBI could move people from thinking of an employer as a total source of income and livelihood to a marginal source of income. They’d be much more flexible to employer demands, once employers start to think of labor as a marginal cost than something to average out across multiple units of output. Ie employees become more like the contractors that Uber/Lyft say they’re hiring across the economy.
Two days is fast! What background were you coming from – did you have previous experience with non-gc languages?
New Shepard can’t even reach orbit, and New Glenn is, as you say, “a rocket more ambitious than SLS or Vulcan Centaur or even Falcon 9”. That’s a massive concern and I strongly believe that “due in under two years” goal is going to be missed.

When New Glenn actually does exist though, it won’t be competing with F9 and SLS; it’ll be competing with Starship.
Not having integrations is a deal breaker for me. All of my financial information lives in other systems that I need to be able to import it into a single view that I can manage. There is no way I'm going back and manually entering all of that info. A privacy centric solution would store credentials for systems like plaid, bank accounts, etc. in the client on the OS keychain and open source that part of the code to be audited. The data then would be stored preferably on a self-hosted server or your cloud provider of choice. There is some sweet spot here at the intersection of the personal cloud server movement and local client credential storage that none of the current finance apps have yet addressed. Once someone does I think they may have a real hit on their hands.

This is interesting. I did `clone()` everywhere rather than `Rc<>` I wonder how these approaches compare?
This was not a smaller prototype. It was a full-size Starship. Starship is the second stage of the full system. The first stage, Super Heavy, has not been tested yet.

> Compiling with -OReleaseSafe brings that down to 15,000 lines of assembly.

I tried it with -OReleaseFast to compare, and it's 500-ish lines. That's amazing.
If it were a “down to earth” video that’s fine but TikTok culture encourages polished, professionally-lit quirky and provocative performances while being sexy and dressed like a LA yoga hipster. I assume that will carry over to this video resume culture which IMO will be kind of a disaster. I want to hire capable people not quirky sexy hipsters with on-camera TikTok skills.
Very true. That’s the choice that’s most important for most people. Same for housing. What good is it when housing prices have doubled but inflation is zero because they also have doubled in size? Houses are not affordable anymore.

Imagine fighting something that actively eats any knowledge about itself and anything you know about it, including yourself.
So, this is something I've done for most of my working career. Though I work in heavy construction (first as union labor, now an engineer) rather than IT or the like.

Construction jobs will naturally come to an end, and I take that opportunity to take some time off and travel in between gigs. I've also done it on jobs that lasted multiple years but had shut down periods (like a project in Alaska that couldn't proceed during the winter). While my work/life balance may not be entirely healthy during the work periods...okay, it really isn't at all, I can get all the R&R I want between stretches of work.

I'll admit and fully own up to having a good amount of privilege that allows me to do this. I've got experience in a niche side of the construction industry, clearances, checks and licenses to go with it, and the project/contract oriented nature of heavy construction in general means that gaps in the resume are usually glossed over. On top of that, I have ins with the good-old-boys club to the point that, generally, I'm not actually looking for work, I get called up. I do think I know my side of the business, am good at it, and put in hard work, and that is why I continue to get calls.

Case in point, my current gig. I was fresh off the plane from 4 weeks in New Zealand, just starting to unpack, when I got called up. I wasn't planning on looking for work for a while longer, but when called I didn't want to endanger that networking relationship by passing on it.

In short, my plan would be to travel for a decent period of time, and begin to put out feelers for work as that winds down. I've never been to Greece1, and summer is coming...in fact I was just talking to my dad and he saw round trip tickets to Istanbul for ridiculously low prices.

1Pandemic allowing, of course.

Life is too short to spend it all whiling away at work. You must find time for yourself, for your family, for your mental health. Slow down, smell the roses, all that. There is just too much world to explore, in my opinion. It seems to me that the pandemic and lockdowns have caused more people to come to that realization. I'm actually seeing a lot of turnover in the engineering and management staff at my current project, which I think might be related.

Thanks for the pointers.

The coverage is calculated by DNS servers and web proxies and can only be incorrect if circumvented. The web proxies are almost all in corporate environments where they cannot be circumvented. Only a tiny fraction of HTTPS uses a TLS1.3 extension to encrypt the FQDN of the web server - the rest of the HTTPS traffic can be monitored.
awesome! to be clear, i'd be fine with a single hdmi input since i route everything through my receiver first (which also manages cec and essentially provides a universal remote), but the larger market would want multiple due to receivers having become too "smart" nowadays.
Are you referring to the install instructions for Ubuntu? No where does it mention running the commands:

The thing is, this applies to all of the non-CEO staff as well. Without them, the company would not stay afloat. If anything, they risked their capital (ie the labor-producing bodies) more than any CEO. And all of this in an economic system where capital risk is ostensibly rewarded.
Wow, thanks Seth!

You have a lot of confidence in Prompt users. I see so much whining and complaining from otherwise seemingly erudite online communities such as HN, I'm inclined to believe people who know how to use SSH and are in possession of a mobile Apple device are incapable of maintaining a state of calm when confronted with a plurality of versions of the same app in the same app store.
After reading the wikipedia article, I still have no idea what this is. Lung cancer, pneumonia, some other lung disease, COVID-1619?
Floodplains are weird, for one thing.

On a small scale you can improve a stream by forcing the water to turn, using stones or posts driven into the water. If you have the ability to build a bridge, you have some ability to change the direction of the water.

In a floodplain or alluvial fan, all of the land is sediment from the river, which means that at flood stage the river has been everywhere and during a flood, or over geologic time periods, the banks of the river can shift. Oxbow lakes are old bends in the river that straightened themselves out.

In theory, if you had a city that was built beside the new banks of a river, you could go upstream and rechannel the river to an old course, either to expand the city or for nefarious purposes.

Also Babylon is, I think, a weird case anyway. If you look at a map of the Fertile Crescent, you see that the Euphrates forks, and it forks a LOT. And Babylon is located between two of the outer forks. Convincing a river that forks to chose another fork might just require some megalithic technology - throw some big rocks in until the flow rate slows rather than stops, and evaporation takes care of some of the rest. Or a phalanx of pilons all driven into the shadow of the next one up river (think geese in flight), which is how you divert a stream.

Even if the river doesn't stop, it might not have enough clear water in it to sustain a city under siege. Especially if you can get them to surrender before the next rainy season washes away all your hydraulic engineering.
tailwind too, right?
It's one opinion article. The New York Times does self-report and self-criticize. And to be clear: the NYT did not write the article. One writer wrote about it.

Single opinion articles are not representative of the sum of their publisher. And thank god for that...

That said, their unsubscribe process (and some of the stories) is the only thing preventing me from subscribing. I would subscribe if it were easier to cancel or pause the subscription. I wish they'd get that sorted, especially since they killed their Apple News contract.

That applies anywhere though: if I can subscribe with a click or two, the unsubscribe process should follow the same pattern.
Its amusing that less than 24 hours ago on the 'how to write a resume that converts' thread many people commented that "Resumes are completely outdated", and now here we are with more negativity on this modern approach.

For entry level jobs requiring young people that are customer facing, a video application makes a lot of sense to me.

It also removes a lot of the awkwardness Gen Z's might feel going down to their local retailer and asking if they are hiring.

> I don't see how anywhere could get to count as a "success story with vaccination" under your criteria

I think you're reading my comment incorrectly. I'm not promoting a criteria. I'm just stating the facts: we may find out that vaccines alone simply can't stop covid from infecting - and maybe even killing - large numbers of people.

Obviously, if that is true to a sufficient degree, lockdown may prove to have been pointless.

> How would you tell?

New Zealand will most likely find out how successful their vaccination program was when they open their borders to the rest of the world.

Integrating Rust into the Android Open Source Project
Also a zoomer...I don't know if I agree with the sentiment but my experience was similar. Made my first computer in 6th grade, evidently I did something wrong because I was debugging crashes on that machine for 6 years. Also significant time spent min-maxing our internet for League of Legends around that time.
It's okay to be skeptical. I think we look at how officieals closed the beaches, know now that outdoor spread is rare, and say that it was an obvious misjudgment. But this ignores the practical reality of what happens when the beaches are open, which is this sort of thing:

> “We don’t want people from higher-impact counties who maybe haven’t done as good a job as Santa Cruz has to come in and spread that virus,” Hart said. “In ordinary times, we love people coming in, right? Our economy is driven on tourism and agriculture. We want people here during normal times. This is not a normal time. So we don’t want those folks here from Sacramento or other areas,” Hart said.

> The law breakers have been all ages, but a few whom deputies caught were teens who gathered in a car near the beach and passed around a bong, Hart said.

https://santacruzlocal.org/2020/04/09/authorities-close-sant...

Maybe the officials should have left the beaches open and tried a message like "it's okay for Santa Cruz locals to go to the beach, but this thing spreads through the air in enclosed spaces, so please everyone take your own cars or drive with the windows open, and we don't want people from outside communities coming here and spreading the virus."

I believe health officials were generally operating in good faith. That doesn't mean they were always correct. I'd like to ask what they were thinking when they closed the beaches, but I don't think it was a simple calculation.
> People who would happily spend $20/month for a good code editor will love the change to a subscription model in the long run, because it lets you invest more effort in making the product great.

That’s almost double what I pay for Jetbrains’ stuff and I figured the forced subscription from Jetbrains was 3x what I had been paying by skipping 1-2 versions between updates.

You’re right about changing the customer base though. All the suckers that can’t figure out prices just when up 3-4x seem to love subscriptions and financially flippant people like that are probably the best customers to have.

And Jetbrains is the only subscription software I’ve used that doesn’t keep adding bloated trash features to justify their subscription.

I like your list. A lot! Yes, possible. We’ve manufactured approx 3000x 70” industrial displays since 2015...since then, we have yet to run into any bad panels. 2 of the panels did get damaged during the handling process but generally, a panel being bad from the factory has never been an issue. I’ll keep monitoring your list for any updates. Thank you!
