Step two is extremely underrated. There's always been a family computer in my home, but I couldn't do whatever I wanted on it.

My irremediable descent into nerddom started when I got a cheap netbook. It was an awful machine, but I could freely poke around and learn stuff.

If you're just starting, a potato computer that you fully, exclusively own is much better than a great machine that you share with other people.

But of course it's a big time investment and not everyone is interested. If you just want to learn the basics of programming, a fully managed environment is also fine. So much is being abstracted by the programming language itself that the underlying stack is almost a detail.
The difference in actual value between the two for me at least is much smaller than the difference in numerical value.

Both amounts are enough for me to never work another day in my life, and instead focus on building what I want to build. Past that massive increase in quality of life extra money is relatively meaningless (to me) .

This is the same reason that people who decry spending money on lottery tickets as a stupid thing to do based on the EV alone are thinking far too simplistically.
There are many ways to approach macros. Zig’s approach with compile time evaluation handles many of them. Esp since types can be created on the fly.
Another approach, which is strongly inspired by the ASTEC project for C, is what I use for my C-like “C3”: http://www.c3-lang.org/macros/

Zig’s clearly about a more homogeneous approach where I am happy to have multiple pieces of syntax to cover different usecases.
I think that's ultimately where it backfired. Back when it was introduced it made sense, a way to keep American media and culture from completely drowning out our own. But now that most stations are required to have 40% of their content Canadian, you end up with loops of Bieber, Drake, Rush, BNL, or the Hip getting played every 20-25 minutes. It honestly gets tiring hearing "Courage" or "Tom Sawyer" played 3-4 times during my 8-hour shift, every single day.
They could just make art that people want to buy.

It’s weird that that’s (still) how they market Notion. I use it as sort of a combination of google docs and google sheets — I can write long-form documents and include attachments, link to other pages, etc, and also create databases (and every row is its own page).

You’d have to shoehorn project management into their database paradigm, which definitely seems subpar compared to a purpose-built task/project manager. But the “personal wiki” aspect of it is fantastic.
Most people wouldn't do this, though. Most people don't have the financial IQ to manage that 1M.
Canadian here. This isn't about subsidizing content, this is about censoring content that the Canadian government deems to be "not in the Canadian spirit". This is about treating anyone with a larger audience (youtube, insta, etc) as a broadcaster and making them follow strict government rules.
For storing random key value definitions, mine seems to work that way. But it kind of helps me to think of memory as a network of interconnected bits. One random point will be hard to get back to, but if you have a dozen related bits of information that all link to one bit, it will be easy to find your way back to it and recall it. Building a solid base of knowledge and understanding of a subject helps to build these interconnected networks.
I'd definitely also highly recommend The Expanse. Although I highly doubt the space physics are accurate. Ships can't just turn and change direction like how they're often shown to do.

There's no reason why we don't have sequencing for everyone at this point. Just imagining the opportunities we are missing here because of a) the US inane insurance system and b) the irrational technophobia of EU. It's 2021 and we 're not allowed to use our SNPs to prevent illness
If you knew in advance of the timing of the data loss you could do billions in damage to a bank.
That only works if you can put the app on your internal network; Notion is neither self-hostable nor available 'on-premise' w/peering, that's what people are complaining about here.

You can't magically put 2FA in front of some third-party public site. (You could from within your own network.. but that's perhaps worse than pointless!)
This is necessary because people don't appreciate how bad a problem is unless you sensationalize it for them.

For example, if I say 'your DKIM records for your email are setup wrong, so there is a chance someone can send spam using your email address', nobody will pay for an hour call-out to fix it.

If I say 'your email Exchange server has been configured incorrectly and there's no authentication on your outbound emails so you can easily be hacked', people are more inclined to fix the problem because they more easily understand the severity.
I'm really surprised a Notifications as a Service company would suggest you shouldn't build notifications yourself. Shawking.

No, we were talking about batteries, and how the theoretical limits of battery energy density isn't even close to the energy density required by long haul trucking.

You triumphantly declared that Lithium Sulfur has a theoretical max (which you'll never get to, BTW) of 2600 wh/kg.

I used that opportunity to compare it to Methanol, which has already been proposed as a green fuel (it is a common form of biofuel), and already discarded by the long haul trucking industry due to energy density concerns. If methanol isn't good enough, batteries aren't even close.

I don't know if you are getting your Hyrogen facts from some special Cult of Elon fact repository, but you're wrong. Again. Hydrogen is 39000 wh/kg, not 2800. That's why it is a potential solution, where batteries never could be.
afaik it was to prevent paternity tests
That protects nothing. Constant sustained selling pressure drives something down just as well as someone dumping. In a way it’s worse because it’s certain and there is no room for hope of a quick recovery like in a crash

The US should be more concerned with the re-opening of the border, considering the current complete vaccination rate of 35% vs 3% in Canada.

> making his trade policy effectively more nationalistic than Trumps in practice

Doesn't seem nationalistic at all. Remember the C-Series plane?

Trudeau did absolutely nothing for the industry and immediately bowed down to Trump after he slapped tariffs later judged to be illegal. Well, not exactly, there was whining and a vague threat to switch an order of fighter jets from Boeing to Lockheed. Couldn't inject a little bit of capital at the right time. Airbus swooped in and bought the whole thing at a heavy discount.

Engineering shipped to France and manufacturing to Alabama.
The ban is apparently to prevent access to paternity testing. Medical/scientific/judicial purposes are exempted.

Maybe it’s just me, but I’d say the hacker ethos would be to, yes, exploit that loophole but also publicize the dickens out of it so it gets fixed and refactored into a more rational system that obviates that whole class of errors.

I think it would be nice if we could search media content by country of origin. I'm a US citizen living in Canada, and I anecdotally feel that YouTube recommends lots of Canadian content, but not nearly as high a percentage as the broadcasters are required to do.

There's a big gap between "never build yourself" and "letting other people handle it". Yes, you should have full control over your auth, run it yourself and keep the data - but you still should not build it yourself, you should use well-established solutions/libraries built by others instead of trying to figure out e.g. what's the proper way to salt passwords.

This analysis totally ignores a whole bunch of factors, including that you can’t pay someone else minimum wage for a bunch of things, and that “hiring someone to do X” has a huge transaction cost associated with it. Not just the hiring part, but the coordination, etc.

The “can’t work more hours” piece actually works towards your argument for finite time: why would you want to spend any of your outside-of-salary time doing stuff you don’t want to do that could pay someone less to do?
I suppose the core of my question is just wondering what the shape of the g-dose response curve is. 1g is nominal. 0g has significant long-term problems, even with countermeasures like daily exercise.

Is the physiologic response between the two extremes linear? My intuition says no, but I don't have real data to check.
As mc32 said, "It's their country and their rules."

That said, requiring YouTube to recommend Canadian content doesn't make sense to me. The rationale for Canadian content requirements for TV is that it's cheaper for CTV and Global to pay for preexisting American shows than to create their own, so there has to be some incentive for them to do so.

YouTube isn't like that. There, a Canadian who makes videos on underwater basket weaving is on exactly the same level as an American who makes videos on the same topic; it's not like an American media conglomerate already dominates the niche.

(Radio is more akin to YouTube than TV, in the sense that a garage band trying to get big has the same difficult route whether starting from Mississauga or Mississippi, which is why Canadian content mandate for that medium has always been less sensible and more unpopular than for TV; thus "beaver hours", until that was prohibited.)

I tried it in Firefox and Tor, and got the same identifier for both, but in both cases it said, "This is your identifier. It is unique among [####] tests so far."

But.. it wasn't unique for the second browser I tried. And they'd be coming from different IPs, so it wouldn't have any way to know both were coming from the same person, aside from the fingerprinting itself...

I was the "HN user who decided to post the article". Which was flagged, and then unflagged, and now flagged again. Apparently this doesn't gratify one's intellectual curiosity.

Last year I saw the following story, this seemed a second data point:

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/25/realestate/blacks-minorit...

To me the salient point is that property appraisals are clearly bullshit in the U.S. if they vary this widely in such a short timespan.

And thus ripe for disruption with tech that provides a mere ounce of accountability on the appraiser / appraisal process.
They learn from the best: a certain “open-source project to help move the web forward” has a bug tracker that simply doesn't load anything without Javascript, or in incompatible browsers.

It is funny how “moving forward” without brakes tacitly demands that others must clear the path and lay the tracks in order to prevent crashes.
Yes, it is a lot more involved.

In particular, "routinely run training" might reduce the probability of a breach due to social engineering, but it probably won't.

You also didn't really cover client machine security, which is how compromises often happen. Your awesome security isn't worth much if the admin's machine is compromised.

Your employees need to use computers to do their job. As part of that, they will need to browse the web, which they will do with one of the major browsers. This browser has unknown 0-day vulnerabilities. Whatever security measures you implement must not disrupt business.

They may also need to plug in USB drives. These can come with malware. Whatever security measures you implement must not disrupt business.

They may also need to open documents, possibly with macros. Whatever security measures you implement must not disrupt business.

Your "basic rules" will at best prevent the - still extremely common - social engineering based attacks, but they still won't reliably keep an attacker out of your network. The attacker will compromise a random person, find some company-wide writeable shared network drive (that you didn't even know about) where a team shares their executables, replace one of those, compromise more machines, escalate to domain admin credentials through one of the many ways that exist, then use your own fleet management system to push their backdoor to your entire fleet.

For good security, you need for example:

- an overview of what assets (computers etc.) you actually have

- a decent way to manage these assets

- monitoring so you can hopefully detect when (not if) a compromise happens

- many layers of defense in depth that slow down attackers and limit what they can do once they've compromised one part of your company

- technical barriers to prevent social engineering attacks (binary whitelisting, strong multi-factor authentication)

- protection against insider risks

- physical security

and that's just a few things that popped into my head, the actual list would probably not fit whatever post length limits HN has. And of course all of this needs to be implemented with the limited budget the company is willing to give you, without disrupting the business, etc.

Thanks for the article; it was a super interesting read. My takeaway was that poking brains can lead to major personality changes, which can lead to divorce and other bad outcomes. (Just hearing 'leads to divorce' made me wonder if it was due to previously non-communicative people expressing themselves in ways they couldn't before... but sounds more like a 'sometimes you get subtle kinds of brain damage' problem.)
> With regards to the Tech Workers Coalition, they want "explicit criteria to achieve (promotions)" [1] which would necessarily involve more red tape and likely a seniority-basis, as not every employee can be promoted.

I don't see how this follows. Much the same way that you can have transparent pay even though people are paid differently, you can have transparent promotion criteria that aren't simply "John has worked here longer".

I am absolutely able to recognize that the more senior ICs I work with have larger scopes of work and often more challenging projects. My reading of this is that there should be clear job ladders that are used and checked against during promotions (and for example you're given feedback stating that XYZ is why you aren't performing at th e next level yet).

Google, for example, is aspirationally already doing this. There's a job ladder and you're rated agains the ladder. In my case, this has meant that I've gotten promoted almost 2x as fast as some of my coworkers on my team.

The aspirational part is that sometimes the feedback isn't in line with the rubric, and criteria can be different across the company (this is sort of a necessary evil of having a big company, a 1-size-fits-all rubric is difficult.)

I'm honestly, really not sure how it follows that since not everyone can be promoted you must use tenure as the metric. As long as you can define some set of criteria that defines "Senior" vs "Junior", you should promote all of the people who meet the criteria. If that's all of your employees, perhaps you need to rethink the criteria, or perhaps you have a bunch of "Senior" employees. At that point, deciding which ones to not promote is going to be crappy no matter what: tenure is an option, but the alternatives are usually "who the boss likes the most" which isn't really any better. But again, this comes down to at this point the company has failed to provide explicit criteria to achieve promo, because people who achieve them aren't being promoted anyway.
I'm not quite as down on busses, but trains really are vastly more comfortable. After a bus ride I am physically tired because I need to engage my core to stay balanced through the bumps and turns. On a train you can actually rest.
Same here, but sometimes the meta is overwhelming. Most big technical discussion boards have hit the same issue: the signal/noise ratio falls with popularity, leading to excessive negativity and a lot of meta-discussion to clean up the negativity.

Maybe @dang is right that the negativity actually results from both popularity and timing of comments. That's an intriguing hypothesis. It wouldn't be right to kill the popularity of HN, but maybe there's some way to fix the timing or visibility of comments. I hope that doesn't mean a complicated moderation system. Maybe a new algorithm could help.

Hate to say I agree. Valve is going through this right now on Steam. They claimed back in 2018 to "allow everything onto the Steam Store, except for things that we decide are illegal, or straight up trolling. ".

In reality over 3 years, those lines became more like a mine field. Up to and including non-sexual Visual Novels that happen to be set in school (something even pre-2018 Steam allowed). It's to a point where it feels like the one who wrote that blog doesn't even work at the company anymore and the new moderators would rather just ban it all over again. Really sucks for devs, but I imagine Valve isn't having a good time either.

I think this is ultimately reflective of America's attitudes towards nudity as a whole and their ability to communicate around it. But ultimately, I don't expect some app stores to go up to bat to challenge that stereotype, so I can't blame them for just saying "no, leave that all out". Not unlike political topics on a casual forum.
Wow that's an argument to end the argument. Thanks for that.
A lot of people would be willing for sequences to exist if they were treated like the medical records they are, and not as a startup's fungible data asset.
Planetes is great, although I felt the ending cheapened the themes a bit. But the reintroduction of seemingly one-off characters to tie up loose ends and advance the plot, coupled with the fairly hard science fiction, was excellent.
With an annual budget of ~$550m, it seems like they could have paid $4m and not just offered a $100k low-ball. It's fine to not pay ransom but they should have known this would be the outcome.

Edit; it's about the same ratio as making $40k a year and getting a speeding ticket.

The single most crucial part of it was the way her daughter died. In the story, she dies in a (very preventable) climbing accident, to make the point that her mother knew about it and could have just told her not to go (or go a bit later), whereas in the movie she died of cancer, which just completely invalidates the entire point.

The comment is saying even if Tesla goes to 100, it doesn't matter to Elon. It's not saying Tesla is going to 100. 100 is an arbitrary number representing a steep drop. It's not about what an "early purchaser" holding peanuts compared to any instructional investor is holding.

It's saying the standard of living of the guy worth 154 Billion isn't going to change because Tesla stock goes up or down. His entire Tesla stake could go to 0 tomorrow morning and he'd still be worth enough for it not to matter to his life past maybe some vanity issues.
