I think it's fairly clear that rasengan does not respect any kind of authority that derives from a framework, so you can't expect that he's going to magically adhere to Freenodes community rules.

There's a fair mention of "IRC drama" in these comments and I'll say this: IRC has drama in the same way that HN does. The volume of people that call this place "the orange site" or refer to "HN's culture" while chiding about certain comments is orthogonal to the drama that happens in IRC. The difference is that you don't have dang as a mediator. Freenode (and now Libera) leave much of the operation up to channel owners, even if they want to put in place ridiculous rules. These operators are held to very little, it takes a large margin of abuse for them to be relieved of their channels. There's also a non-insignificant amount of people that believe bans are mostly earned, even if they're for ridiculous rules.

So, while I get this drama looks pathetic, it's the same kind of drama that occurs here that outside observers would like also declare pathetic.
It might not be a pertinent example for btc, it was just used as an example.

The US did something similar with gold - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_Reserve_Act#:~:text=The....

The main point is, the govt has a mandate to take actions that benefit the whole, even at the cost of individuals.

Yes it will make mistakes, and yes it sometimes will be corrupt and abuse that mandate, but in those cases the country can appoint a different group of people to try and fix things, that’s its only option that addresses the problem and is not “benefiting the individual and harming the whole”.
I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "false," but "different," definitely. Hyphens have fallen somewhat out of fashion in modern English but they can provide clarity in these cases.

Let's change the noun. If a native speaker says, "big red hands," you can normally assume they're speaking of large hands which are colored red.

However, if they say "red big hands," this parses to "red big-hands," meaning "big-hands" is treated as a title, or perhaps a brand. You might see this title capitalized: "red Big-Hands".

Going back to the first example, if you mean "red hands" as a title, you could write "big Red Hands" or better yet, "big Red-Hands," meaning something big with the title Red-Hands. Since the adjective order is the same as grammatically conventional English, the hyphen helps distinguish the writer's meaning. But nowadays I find writers often leave it out when the adjective order implies the multi-word title.
That’s clearly what people are saying.

“Because there is a history of other men discriminating, your actions are automatically suspect”.

Kind of similar to people assuming blacks are criminals. It’s pure sexism/racism.
You definitely need to be with a team that knows how to use principal-level ICs to be effective. Most teams need to be trained/coached (by the principal) in how to do that. :)

This differs among languages, e.g. NATO vs Nato, and even dialects.

Acronyms look weird to me when not written in all caps, yet when they turn into commonplace proper nouns (e.g. when people an acronym without even knowing the expansion) such spelling is essentially vestigial.

Luckily English spelling has a fondness for vestigial forms, unlike languages like German that undergo periodic spelling "reform"
One thing we have made good experiences with recently is, having two separate meetings for managing engineering initiatives:

1. Engineering Meeting - led by Principal Engineer. With pure focus on technical questions. We go through open issues, PRs and discuss technical questions, engineering decisions like API design. Stakeholders from other teams are invited to participate.

2. Planning Meeting - led by a Engineering Manager. Report on progress, discuss priorization and decide work assignment a.k.a. "sprint planning". The principal engineer can take part in this as a team member.

This helps me (as a principal) to stay away from people- and project management and purely focus on engineering topics (inc. writing code), which is where I see as my core competence.
This doesn't work in the medical field. Physicians are the wealthy king's and every layer under asks for permission.

A high school grad may be vaguely aware of this, but the reality is that many people choose to be a nurse and find out later the realities of the job.

There's no research, there is little growth. You don't get to change your job. Your title is exactly what you do.

If the current social model is "poor social services AND criminalization with its attendant burdens" and the new model is "poor social services," then it seems the cost savings from not arresting, processing, and incarcerating these folks would be enough of a success. For a homeless person, the benefits of not having a cop beat you up and throw all your meager possessions away is probably very valuable, if hard for us to quantify.

Not jailing the homeless doesn't imply that they're responsible for an increase in crime, nor should it alone be expected to solve homelessness as a problem in any quantity.

"I just want to be able to afford a small house to live with my family. If I saved 100% of my salary for a decade I still would't be able to afford half of it."

In what country and what area?

There are places which will pay you to move in, and living there is free.

They might not be places you want to live, especially not with a family, but they exist

Then there are places that are super cheap by developed-nation standards.. like Eastern/Central Europe, parts of South/Central America, Asia, Africa... pretty much anywhere.

Even in the US, if you live far enough from a metropolitan area or in some less desirable locations you can find really cheap homes, or cheap land on which you can plop down a trailer or a kit-home, or build your own out of cheap alternative materials.

Again, you might not want to live in such places for a variety of reasons.. but they're affordable.
There's most definitely luck involved, but a huge part of it is being prepared to capitalize on those lucky opportunities. Are you ready when the bell rings?

That's an absurd, bad-faith generalization.

No, you are allowed to offer an alternative on your website. Netflix and plenty of other apps do this just fine.

If you want to advertise the alternative inside your app, well, that's a bit like Target putting a sign inside that mom-and-pop store saying you can get a better deal at Target.

Depending on how you build SDL2, your application could be entirely statically linked at build time, but you could still be using libraries dynamically loaded at runtime for other necessary system components: https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/blob/c59d4dcd38c382a1e9b69...

This is a hard requirement if your application uses OpenGL or Vulkan, you can't really statically link those libraries at all, and you have to use dlopen/dlsym to check each individual function in order to support extensions.
Founder has all the control - Employee has none. So employee takes more risk.

Founder has all the information. Employee wouldn't even know, if the stock was diluted twice. Or if the company is going to seize to exist next day. Employee is in the fog - so employee has more risk.

Employee risks with her reputation. A nut case founder can consider employee a traitor for leaving the company and give bad references to future employers.

Employee has responsibility and obligations as well.

Don't get me wrong. A cutting edge startup can be amazing. But it is a lot of risk for everyone involved.
Kudos to the creator! Fitting a bootable Linux on a single floppy was already doable some 20 years ago, my firewall back then was in fact floppyfw (0) running on a 486 board, but in the meantime the kernel grew a lot, despite being much more modular than old ones. Userland utilities and libraries also grew in size, so the accomplishment is not trivial. Thumbs up!

> Today, I would rather be a poor person in a First World country, than be a rich person in Louis the XIV’s France. I’d rather be a poor person today than aristocrat back then.

A rich person also had access to near-unlimited amounts of human labour. Cleaning your house, cooking your meals, tailoring your clothes, nursing your children.

There is a limit to how much that has been replaced by technology.

An equivalent question is: Would you give up being a rich person in 2021, to become a poor person in 2200?

This sounds like sour grapes to me. If side effects like being exposed to true diversity, being empathetic, etc. are so good for you that they're better than escaping poverty, that means that poverty is something to be applauded. Nobody believes that.

Poverty is bad. If you have a chance to escape poverty, and it doesn't have serious, straightforward, downsides like working 12 hours a day, or leaving your family, or killing people, you should take it. If you don't, you've made a poor life choice.

>The ones whose parents did make the more socially-acceptable choice don't seem better off materially or emotionally than the ones who had to pull themselves up later.

Wouldn't the same reasoning apply to you? If it was good for your mother to stay in poverty so you are more empathetic, shouldn't it be good for you to stay in poverty and not pull yourself up at all, so these great benefits of poverty accrue to your children as well?
Maybe I am missing something, but the study I'm looking at just looks at mass graves after a Carthaginian attack, so they could very easily have been Carthaginian mercenaries?

If providing the brains for other auto makers’ vehicles is unlikely, and competing directly with Tesla and every other electric vehicle startup unsavory, that still leaves another option for Apple. As the automotive industry inches toward self-driving taxi services, Apple’s persistence in both acquiring and developing software and hardware for electric, autonomous vehicles could signal its long-term ambitions. Could an Apple mobility company, instead of an Apple car, make the most sense?

In the US, per BLS, the bottom 20% of earners spend more than they earn on basic necessities: housing, feed, healthcare, transportation. The next 20% barely managed to cover them, without much left over.

This is why I liked Thomas Piketty's definition of the "middle class" being income earners in the 50th to 90th percentiles: enough to pay for life's necessities, with some left over for niceties (but not so much as get into the situation of having piles of money earning interest on interest).

There's is for sure some good advice, but most of this is just useless word play, which does not give you any directions, but gives you a false sense of "life and society understanding". If you don't know that reading and work makes you wealthy, you're a probably a fool. It's important to tell people they can unite and work towards common good of humankind, but you should not title it "How to Get Rich".
This reminds me of the recent post linked on HN about "why it's a bad idea to write books."

One thing I think people miss is that founding a startup, or working at an early-stage startup, belongs to a class of financially irrational aspirations that includes other things like rock-star, novelist, actor, and professional athlete. For all these careers, the financial rewards are distributed according to a power law. A few superstars take a massively disproportionate share of rewards while the expected ROI is negative across all aspirants.

I stress "financial" rewards because for many of these pursuits there are intangible rewards that make it worth it even for the "losers". I spent most of my 20s playing in rock bands and legitimately trying, and failing, to "make it". During that time I had a day job, so I was working constantly either at the band or at my day job, and really not doing much else. I wouldn't trade that time in my life for anything, despite the fact that it cost me money both out-of-pocket and in opportunity cost, and only perhaps a few hundred people now remember my band. On the other hand, I had no family to support during that time, and I was willing to live a low-rent bohemian lifestyle.

Early-stage startups are probably the same: the camaraderie, the esprit-de-corps, and the joy of building things are the reward.

It's important to enter into these risky pursuits with your eyes open and understand that the most important rewards you receive won't be financial. If those intangibles aren't important to you, or if the base level of financial security you need is higher than that of a bohemian lifestyle, then you should look for something else.

Well, I already covered that in another comment: we could still hold them accountable for decisions deemed later to be incorrect with the same data available at the time.
I'm glad to read this.

I have only worked in the startup environment over the last 30 years. I don't miss the big company environment and what I see from my GF (FAANG, plus one F50 brick and mortar) just reinforces that.

But a lot of people choose startup jobs because they read (or saw on TV!) a romanticized version. As described in this article the very things that make it so great aren't the things that most people want...and if you try to blend in too much of the big company thing too early the company doesn't usually make it. It it much more fun to work with people who are really into that environment so anything that steers unhappy people away is better for everyone.

I worked with a guy who had an extreme version of this: his limit was about a dozen people. And looking at his linkedIn he's since worked at some amazing major companies....always at the very beginning. It's just his thing.

[Meta Comment]:

Posted this because of a recent “Ask HN” from a few days ago asking for any low-cost, high impact start-up ideas for low-skilled tech-workers.

When I came across this today I immediately thought - Wow, this is an idea that could exponentially scale - Think graduates/high grade course completer's then being recruited to work for your start-up to be mentors then progressing to graders then up to tutors as a Win-Win – They get their first ‘real job’, Company gets employees loyal to the idea/concept. Career progression built right in to the buisiness plan as you expand your pool of mentors,graders,tutors etc as they progress upwards/onwards/outwards in to other (new to them) courses.

Perhaps Exercism already do this - but in terms of achieving a self-perpetuating growth perhaps part funded initially by local grants, VC etc it struck me as a possibly valid business model that seemed a reasonable fit with his ask HN.
This is all exactly correct. What too often is left out of these discussions is the labor pool and incentives. Too many cooks in the kitchen, because there are incentives to keep adding more cooks, as though increasing the researcher labor supply were a goal in itself, rather what it truly is, an obstacle to progress. Eternal September comes to academia too, a side effect of scale.
>Because their 'performance' is to perform their part best they can.

Well, this "best" should be judged and rewarded or punished too.

It depends on what you mean by extending Ecto.

I've read bits of the source code to better understand what commands are doing, and you're right you can't use an IDE to jump from the public api to the internal implementation. However, the project has put a lot of work into an extremely clear internal naming convention, so you can just go to the implementation directory and grep for the public api name.

If you mean writing your own command that composes like the builtin ones, that's extremely easy. Often you can do it with just a plain function, and rarely you need a macro. Suppose you have something like this (haven't written elixir in a while, syntax may be slightly wrong)

def where_admin_over(q, age) do:
where(q, [u], u.age > ^age and u.is_admin)
end

def foo do
from(User)
|> where_admin_over(18)
|> where([u], u.country == "de")
|> Repo.all()
end

It's also quite easy to make that custom command run raw sql.
This is a good place to ask without a top-level comment: Do people really tend to do it that way? Whenever I've considered using sleep to mitigate timing attacks, it has been to sleep an amount of time that makes the resultant time constant. That is, to make the operation in this case always take 450ms.

> I think the problem is inherently unsolvable.

Most of the world's problems are inherently unsolvable if you treat solved/unsolved as a binary condition. That doesn't mean that there's no obligation to help mitigate at least some of the negative effects that technology (and I'm not singling out computing) enables or amplifies.
Those we call Scythians now are a group of Eastern Iranian horse-ridding people living on the Eurasian Steppe between modern Romania and Kazakhstan. What Greeks called Scythians was anybody riding a horse and living a bit North.

Starting from Late Antiquity they've been completely pushed out of the steppe, at least culturally, by nomads that came from further East (Turkic peoples). The last Eastern Iranian group living North of the Caucasus is the Ossetians.
