Excuse me. You're not expecting, quote, "basic decency." You are expecting compliance with a specific regulatory framework. One of these requires a soul, the other requires lawyers and paperwork and record-keeping.
The idea is that temperature alway gives you an energy distribution p(E) =exp(-E/kT)*const. https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boltzmann-Statistik if you want to store information with one particle in a double well potential (tiny ist information storage), you need the barrier at least so high that you don't just hop to the next bin due to these fluctuation. This means you have to introduce a minimum energy effort depending on temperature needed to delete the information later.

Ps statistical physics is slightly weird, not sure about a good book. Maybe Berkeley physics course vol 5 or so.

About the Landauer principle itself I remember the paper actually to be quite accessible.
Hm, you could also just look at the Wikipedia page, it has all the measurements you're looking for most likely: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_Hadron_Collider
As a recovering UI designer, weary of UI advice, this collection of 50 heuristics is solid. Nicely done. Great presentation too.

We'd all benefit if much of this advice was default behavior implemented by the UI frameworks.

For example, I once wrote a custom layout manager which had proper line height and label placement built-in.
It's much better than YouCompleteMe imo. The context-awareness of it is quite amazing.
Companies hiring remotely that avoid Colorado forfeit the good talent there. I'm skeptical that this law scares every company, as plenty put salary ranges on job postings.
There was a zip bomb too...
I understand the public reasoning why the law was passed. I am not sure it is the right solution.

As a business I would be very concerned that the cost/compensation for those few individuals with the qualification in Colorado will become very expensive as my competitors outbid each other to the sky (CO pop. 5.759mm US Census 2019). I remember the pre-dot com boom. IT was "rolling in money"...

As an employee, I am now concerned that I will be targeted because of the job I have. The criminal elements can now pretend to be "Robin Hood".

As an employee, how will this "race to the top" salary battle backfire? Will I be stuck in Colorado? Are there loopholes (and there always are) where CO companies can hire outsiders cheaper?

And, so on...
Leasehold is pretty much guaranteed for flats, outside of Scotland. Of course flats might be more common in London than elsewhere.

There are leasehold houses but I believe these days they are actually outlawed for new builds; of course builders found other creative "solutions" to extract rent even from freeholds, which are not protected by leaseholder rights.
I am amazed that people do not understand that difference between Voluntary Action and Mandatory / Regulatory Burden.

A Company could 100% already being doing everything to be in compliance with a regulation and still oppose the regulation, and take actions to ensure they are bound by that regulation
Huh I didn’t realize that Colorado had passed this law. I was looking at various remote jobs the other day and kept seeing notes about the pay range for people if they worked in Colorado. The first time, I figured it must be a Colorado based company providing information on what they would normally pay for workers in the state, but I kept seeing it more and more.
Hydrogen still has highly corroded less than recyclable cryo tanks AND either a combustion engine or fuel cell (highly corroded, less than recyclable)
As others have pointed out, you likely can install an after market stereo in there. (Not affiliated, but a happy customer!) For self installs, I purchase everything from https://www.crutchfield.com/ , as I know if they say it fits in your car, it will fit, and they make sure you have all the instructions you need to install it.

I did that to my older car so it could have wireless car play for my spouses phone (but mainly because the native entertainment system was awful).
For humans to breathe out CO2, they must eat animals or plants. Animals also eat plants. Plants obtain carbon from the atmosphere by capturing CO2.

Of course I am ignoring CO2 emissions caused by industrial agriculture and those should not be understated but breathing alone doesn't contribute any net CO2, it's the industrial process that does it.

A competitive market would enable me to sort by salary and benefits and apply for the best job.

However companies don't want to compete on salary, and potentialy drive them up - they want maximum leverage. They get more leverage if process is obscure, so that you only agree salary late in the process and for the applicant, pulling out is risky.

The market is not really free - its being manipulated by one side.

Similarly with healthcare you don't know how much you will be charged upfront, so there is no competition on price.

With housing (in UK) there is no competition on quality because the seller doesn't have to disclose any problems with the house. If it falls of a cliff the minute you sign on the dotted line, it's your problem.

You have to pay for the surveyor to find out any issues the house might have, and that means you can only view a few houses before you've paid the house price in survey fees.
Wouldn't it be better to make a new specification that provides backwards compatibility?
>technology companies generally don't make political donations or engage in lobbying

I'm pretty sure they do, but their primary concerns are getting their piece of the foreign worker visa pie, resisting further industry regulation, and corporate tax. It is definitely not supporting local universities in either the quality of their undergraduate programs or post-grad research.

“Besides being a hard skill, that employers actually want, coding. helps build soft skills. Coding promotes the use of logic, reasoning, problem solving and creativity,”

Students already take four years of mathematics that build the same skills in similar ways. And really, these are skills you should also be practicing in history, social studies, and every other class.

I'm not crazy about the math curriculum, and in fact I'd be all for replacing some of the math with programming. But foreign languages are incredibly useful, in ways not taught in other classes.

Not only does it help you deal with an increasingly globalized world, Spanish in particular is incredibly useful here in the US. It gives you perspective that no other classes teach, both in culture and in language itself.

There are a number of concepts in English that are hard to teach within English itself because you do them natively. We switch between tenses, aspects, and moods so easily we don't realize we do it. This improves writing and communication even if you never speak that language after graduating. It's a lot like that first semester of geometry, where you're doing proofs of "obvious" things just to learn what a proof actually means.

A lot of colleges want to see foreign language experience, in every department. And employers want to see that college degree, even for programmers (different rant).

I'm all for more programming. It really is the best profession and a good skill even if you don't practice it professionally. Any STEM field must learn it. But programming is job involving humans as well as computers, from documentation to UX to requirements gathering. Developing those "soft skills" is more important than people like to admit, and foreign language is a really useful way to learn it.
Really? Where are the numbers for that assertion?
> More than two years after the initial request was made, five beluga whales have left their overcrowded home at Marineland, an amusement park in Niagara Falls, Ontario, and arrived at Mystic Aquarium in Connecticut. The move came about a month after Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) quietly approved the controversial permit for the whales’ export.

so was it just a sale?
It came up in the last thread about dumb tv's - they exist. Wal-mart sells Sceptre tv's. 4K resolution, dumb tv's. And they're super cheap; they're actually cheaper than smart tv's. I have no idea why people say they don't exist. They're just not popular.

Outside of HN, people do want smart features, from what I can tell, and don't even consider that their TV is a privacy concern.

I've been taught in school that perfect competition (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_competition ) requires perfect information ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_information ), so I assume giving more information would increase competition. Could you share why this is anti-competitive?

Where the category "fish" isn't a clade - it's possible to evolve to no longer be a fish - it's more comparable to a specific generation of ARM chips, like perhaps ARM32, than it is to the ARM line in general. It would be weird to say "64-bit ARMv5" in the same way that it would be weird to say "lactating fish". But it is not weird to say "64-bit ARM" for the same reason it isn't weird to say "lactating euteleostome."
It worked for CEOs. Their salaries were disclosed due to a new law, and their salaries skyrocketed.

Even before a lot regulations around car batteries had a pretty high recycling rate. It's a lot metal to just throw away. However, even being the minority of occurrences one battery is a lot lead (a heavy metal) so it does not take very much to start being a concern.
Vscode existed long before m1 macs. I think designing software that only has acceptable performance on hardware that doesn't even exist yet is where the contention lies. That's hyperbole but I think what is being discussed is more the tendency of developers to be lazy when it comes to performance because the latest and greatest hardware makes their software snappy.
I signed my parents up for the Beta in WV sometime in 2021 (I don't remember exactly when, and did not have any issues.)
>at this point, i'd love to know when the answer is just '12'.

Ctrl+Shift+k in a browser (firefox) opens a console. Just write {}+12 there and hit enter.

My guess is that {} is (in some circumstances) evaluated as a block of code (instead of an empty object). Since the block is empty it evaluates to undefined. The +12 is considered another block of code ( the + operation takes here only one parameter - so it is not a sum ). Consecutive blocks of code are evaluated to the value of the last block of code, which is +12.

{}/12 for example doesn't work at all - which is a hint that the + is not a summation operation.

Edit: I'm wondering why we use 12 and not 42

Edit2: Technically you are correct about java being pass by value. But at this point I'm questioning the sanity of the distinction. It feels more and more like a philosophical discussion.
The compiler should have valid rules, not invalid ones.
Useful tips, decent illustrations, strongly focused (~60%) on web form tips. Also, on p18 "Show password rules right away", I would change this to "Remove the requirement for so many pointless password rules" encouraging people to focus on entropy through length.
Back when Google was officially "not evil", and I was just about to graduate in Computer Science, I sent them my CV to be a developer. They called me back, said that they didn't have any dev jobs fitting my profile, but seeing the subjects I was learning, I might be interviewed for a Data Center Sysadmin role.

Would I be interested? Of course! In my circles, working at Google was a sign of excellence back then.

Did I want to interview right away, literally during the same phone call, or would I prefer some time to prepare? What did my cocky, eager-to-please-the-Google-gods 19-year-old self do? Bring the questions on! No need to prepare!

Needless to say, I hadn't the slightest idea of what to answer for most of the questions. If memory serves, the interviewer tried to save the disaster by dynamically adjusting the difficulty of questions asked, going so low as to asking "do you know what an RJ45 cable is, and what it's used for?".

That one question I did get, but by that point it was clear that I wasn't going to be a Googler Sysadmin. My obvious-in-retrospect takeaway: Always prepare for interviews in advance, and don't be afraid to speak for yourself, even if you want to make a good impression.

It shouldn't matter what his role is. Saying some off the cuff stuff a few years ago in an obscure book doesn't make a workplace unsafe. That is disingenuous.

I've seen people fired for similar "unsafe" bullshit. Literally anything can trigger these deranged individuals. They're just out to play victim and get attention.

And no, I don't think all toxic workplace behaviour is like this, many places have narcissists and similar types roaming the halls making things extremely traumatic for many people. That stuff is real and I feel for the people that get out through the ringer by these environments.

But a book? 6 years ago? In the context of a zombie apocalypse hypothetical? Get the fuck outa here.
This is a valid point of view but would make me question using the service even more.

It doesn’t seem like a good look when the more important question to a company is “can we profit” rather than “can we make the world a better place”.
I remember when NY/NJ came out with law preventing employers asking your previous wages (they used to ask for W2!!!). People were saying, oh, employers just won't hire in NY/NJ anymore! Guess what, job market is still hot as the sun and salary range went up across all my job searches and I don't have to deal with bullshit recruiters trying to play with comps.
Pre-iPhone I used my Symbian phone as the GPS system in my car, using software called Route 66 and a bluetooth based GPS receiver.

The map data was all stored on an MMC card so it didn't need any GPRS data. I used both a Nokia 6600 and then a 6680 with the same software.
https://www.pocketgpsworld.com/route66-mobile-britain.php

Only the bluetooth GPS receiver had to be kept in the
windscreen, and both parts were small enough I could easily could take out of the car when leaving it.

I suppose it was slightly bleeding-edge stuff for it's time but it worked pretty well considering the capabilities of the device and was much cheaper than a dedicated GPS unit with no ongoing costs.

We'll see. ARM architecture is now about 36 years old. I believe RISC V originated about 10 years ago. I think MIPS started about 40 years ago, but I believe it has finally ground to a stop.

I will now be using my Friday morning to have a deep refresher into CSS. Thank you
Great band. Love Sting.
Yes, but when i try to apply this knowledge i fail every time.

I do unterstand the basic ideas behind CSS, but is just cant apply it. Tailwind allowed me to apply it.

If i could, i would prefer to write CSS! After 10 years i have given up though.
Are they interested in using the generated text as the input to some other process? (e.g. training "convert text to knowledge graph?")

You could do this kind of graph -> text translation with conventional template-based tools, in fact people do that all the time. You very much run into the stages of "pick out a subgraph of salient facts", materializing text. If you scale it up you'll discover it has "erroneous zones" and end up building filters that block dangerous (likely to be wrong) outputs.
At Tesla's battery day they said they plan to recycle their own batteries, claiming it's a lot easier if you're only recycling one kind of battery.

That seems to fit well with what the article described as ideal: "direct recycling, which would keep the cathode mixture intact." I guess Tesla would have to remove their "indestructible polyurethane cement that holds [the cells] together."
in Brazil the outskirts or suburbs of a city are called "periferia", and it might be that the person didn't know the english words for "lado" or "borda" so he used a close relative which is "periferia", sounds very plausible to me. nothing to do with fancy words, because "periferia" definetly ain't fancy (in pt)
Back then C was a high level language. Programmers regularly dropped down to assembly (or even raw machine bytes) when they needed the best performance. Now C is considered low level and compilers can optimize much better than you can in almost all cases so more programmers are only vaugly aware of assembly.

Though you are correct, a lot of abstraction today makes things portable in ways that in the past they were not. The abstraction has a small performance and memory cost which wouldn't have been acceptable now, but today it is in the noise (cache misses are much more important and good abstractions avoid them)

On MacOS the file name is only meta data, ie the file has an internal id that does not change, but on other platforms filesystems the filename might be the identifier.
Granted. But which of the following happens more often?

A) Companies oppose regulation because of filing and compliance costs, despite already doing the required behavior

B) Companies oppose regulation because they don't want to have a requirement to do and maintain the behavior

It feels like really we're talking about (B) as a primary motivator, and (A) is a smoke screen for PR palatability.
Are you discussing the requirements or collecting them? Those are two different tasks. I’d you’re making a formal specification it is critical for vendors and suppliers to have it on paper. This protects both side and may be why at least a slack chat is being asked for.

In general collecting requirements needs a formal document or other central source of truth, but for discussion it’s better to do this in a meeting with a focus on updating the document afterwards. This really protects both sides.
Central registries for many languages have a hard time keeping up with the increased use by automated processes.

In GitLab we have a mirror functionality for docker container images, I look forward to us extending it to other package types as well. This should reduce load in the central registry, speed up the download, and improve the overview of what packages are in use at the organization.

Here's the act, it looks like it does have some additional requirements for companies with CO employees: https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/sb19-085

If remote work sticks around (I think it will), it will be interesting to see how employers handle the additional burden of having employees in dozens or even hundreds of jurisdictions. I don't think it's insurmountable, but it's certainly something many companies have not had to deal with before.
It's a huge fire hazard, isn't it? Would require a Class III extinguisher to put out IIRC.
That is a good model, but I'm a little confused about the transition. My license from 2015 obviously doesn't include ST4, but does it still include all versions of ST3 since it was purchased before this change? Or was it retroactively updated to only capture ST3 versions released during that 3-year window?
6 months is not compliant. Employees have to be made aware of the posting on the same calendar day the job is posted. For jobs that are in constant demand, the company has to either send a daily email or have some kind of banner on its corporate intranet.

There is also no geographic restriction so if a company has any offshore service centers, it would need to post any promotional jobs to its Colorado employees as well.

Ask HN: What to learn for a return to Web Development?
I last worked as a web developer about two years ago, before going on a hiatus due to burnout. I worked with Cold Fusion, jQuery, and what was then the latest in HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript. There wasn't much acceptance of newer libraries and technologies due to the structure of the department.

It seems that the world has changed quite a lot since 2019--nothing insurmountable, though quite varied in what technologies might now make up a stack.

What wold you suggest that I learn, as someone who wants to bring their skill up to what the market seeks? A fellow suggested that I start by learning React and how to work with APIs and API development.

If you will, what do you believe that a person MUST know in 2021 to be effective and attractive in the market?

I'm willing to tackle anything.
Hello. How was the transition on the Windows side to UWP?

Why is it being proposed as data- attributes? My understanding is that the point of these was for unspecified attributes. It seems odd to cut into that space for something being proposed as an actual spec.
Just off the top of my head, but having the option to shift your bodyweight using your legs is quite a big advantage. At MotoGP leved it's either they can exchange that advantage with something else or it's so advantageous everybody will use that.
Reminds me of the push in the USA to paint anyone who didn't want to use CFL bulbs as someone who hates the environment, even though the bulbs require special disposal because they release toxic fumes when they break. Now a few years later, they're telling everyone to start using LED bulbs since the CFL bulbs are bad for the environment as well.
I don't know what is being hampered but in general there is no free lunch. You always are making a tradeoff when you make a law, there is no such thing as only good law.

So there has to be some downside for even this law.
That's so interesting. Killington is the site of the largest ski resort in the East (by most measures) and an awesome vacation spot. It is completely in the center of Vermont, almost the geographic center. Moving to New Hampshire is a hilarious idea, one expressly forbidden -- states cannot be non-contiguous like that, land areas can only be separated by water (see Michigan).
