It seemed to me that no one actually made projects that used the module system at all? Like no name spacing what so ever, just a bunch of include!s
I think the asymmetry goes both ways. If you leave a job under bad circumstances, maybe a half dozen people will hear about it in the future (and even that might be over counting... I've worked at places where you're not allowed to say anything other than "yes that person worked here worked here with that job title"). On the other hand, Charlie's ref about how Tesla treats prospective employees has been seen by thousands of people.
And in fact it seems that one attempted fix to the corrosion problem, epoxy-coated rebar, has already proven much worse than uncoated rebar at dealing with rust in production: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVDy84rR5Z8

This guy rose to power after Tsar Nicolas II and his family were machine-gunned

Well, Lenin (with peers like Trotsky and to some extent Stalin) was the architect of the Russian revolution that got rid of the Tsars. Rather than being a lucky opportunist he was dedicated to that project for a long period, motivated significantly by the execution of his brother. I don't think it's a great example of a power vacuum so much as the payoff for a singular focus on a specific goal.

On the other hand, Lenin's debilitation and death following being shot in an assassination attempt and then suffering a series of strokes did create a power vacuum, and Stalin had cleverly positioned himself to fully exploit it and push aside his rival Trotsky - arguably a more capable military and political leader, but one so dedicated to his cause that he failed to defend his own position.
I have a similar experience with being easily able to distinguish between uncompressed and 320kbps MP3s with certain kinds of music. Music with a lot of emotion in the singer’s voice or with both instruments and singers spread over a large area (Bollywood music from the late 90s) are easier to distinguish. Of course, I tested this with two different streaming services, so it may just be differently processed files. Modern pop songs on the other hand sounds the same to me irrespective of the level of compression.
We totally agree! This is exactly where we want to take Fig.

The autocomplete product is built using an API that extends terminals with visual apps and shortcuts. Using the same API, you can build an app that interactively displays photos or wraps a common ffmpeg workflow.

We prototyped[0] a bunch of ideas like this during YC last summer, before deciding to start with autocomplete.

It's a popular talking point in the Murdoch media, sure. That doesn't mean it's an issue in reality.
Working remote and not from home:

- Do you need to take a call, and don't want to be that person with lots of background noise? Good luck, other than renting out a private office or meeting room. (Seriously, if you're at a busy Starbucks at 9AM during your stand-up call, just type it in the chat...)

- Cell signal is finally getting fast and available enough that remote work can be done on top of a mountain, but you do need to be within reach of a decent cell tower.

- Is the sun out? Good luck reading your screen. Is it going to rain? Better go find a place indoors.

Offices are convenient for work. You really can get a lot done quickly by grabbing 3 people and working out something in person. You can find quiet space, you can have good lighting and a good desk and decent climate control, you can have coffee and a bathroom and security.

Flexibility is definitely great to have, but let's not kid ourselves. Offices are there because they're useful.
I also heard that many people would look forward to leaving after the final vesting of their initial stock grant. I remember going to someone's Tesla work anniversary party, and his teammates were like "I really hope they stay, we typically lose people after these milestones".
This is my throwaway Hacker News account named after the relevant director at Tesla:

I'm sorry you found this so confusing.
I think they're more worried about impacting their own chances of working at those companies in the future.
Can't say I did well on the test. Actually made a decision on 2 of them and got the 128kbps on one and WAV on the Suzanne Vega (which must have been luck). The rest I just clicked something to read the snippets.

And I've got HD598s and was listening through a UMC1820 interface.

That said, I'll take lossless FLAC files for a download any day, simply because it's future-proof in a way compressed audio isn't. I'm quite happy to listen at 320kbps on Spotify most of the time, or transcode to 96kbps Opus any FLAC I have when I load it on my phone.
In contrast to requiring a particular standard to represent metadata, the better way is to require that the exported data be machine-readable and its contents documented. This gives providers the flexibility to innovate, adding their own identifiers or whatever useful data they want, but avoids legislators forcing everyone to use a common standard that, while useful today, can quickly go out of date. Competitors can then write converters or importers based on this documentation, as could motivated FOSS users.
I suppose the point is that's there's little difference, practically speaking, between this situation and being fired 5 minutes into your first day on the job.
> Roman concrete that we can't reproduce.

That claim seems to date to a particular article written in 2017 that wasn't well sourced. Roman concrete is interesting stuff and has useful properties, but humans have since created concrete mixtures that are far superior. But they're expensive, so it's not too surprising we don't see them getting used in buildings that compare less than favorably to a temple built a couple thousand years ago. Survivorship bias taken to the extreme.
But that would create the moral hazard of paying people not to work and the entire economy would grind to a halt! Just like how restaurant owners have to start paying closer to a living wage now.
> First, it's a country and their people want to remain independent from the US.

And some people did not want to live under socialism/communism, and asked the US in defending themselves. The two countries, North and South Vietnam, and their allies, agreed to end hostilities:

North Vietnam then broke that agreement:

That's about 2 weeks worth of work in a US corporation, so seems reasonable. he
>Take the premise governments are incompetent and overspend.

Is that hard to understand? It's definitely pork. Some gov't official from a particular state drafts legislation to ensure that a company in the same state gets the money that legislation sets aside regardless if they are the best choice. That has to raise flags to everyone, right?

Most gov't contractors know that they can charge multiples of what it would actually cost because it's the govt paying for it. No govt contract has ever said, "hey, we know we initially bid to do task for $x, but we actually were able to do it for $x-20%". Instead it is always, "oops, we grossly misjudged the scope of work and allowed people to continue to make changes to the request, so we're now 5x the original bid". They allow the requests to make these changes because they know that it is guarantee to keep the money flowing and people employeed.
>Yet the largest city frequently floods with a foot of water during monsoon season.

Same thing can be said about parts of Tokyo during the typhoon season.
Yeah I think this is a better way to put it. By incentivising long-lasting buildings you are better pricing in the amortised (environmental) negative externalities of tearing down and rebuilding.

I see two arguments against:

1. Future buildings will be so much better for the environment that increasing costs today for long lasting buildings or having to wait longer for environmentally better buildings is a net negative

2. Old buildings are typically not useful and so we shouldn’t encourage a future full of them (examples: smaller houses in city centres function ok but aren’t well insulated and could reduce total environmental costs of the city if they were replaced with more dense accommodation; many old churches see little use; many old buildings or rooms of them are no longer fit for any efficient purpose and so are wasting resources, eg banks with lots of space for tellers/vaults/deposit boxes or stock exchanges with big trading pits or warehouses which cannot be converted or even the rooms above shops which often seem to be disused. I have also seen other places where good use is still made of old buildings (typically long lived institutions like schools or societies or universities) though perhaps not as efficient use as might be possible. Obviously there are other cultural arguments for keeping old buildings around (but sometimes I worry regulations enforcing this can be too prohibitive, eg freezing an old building that has been changing slowly over many years at the point it becomes protected).
The comments on https://github.com/freenode/web-7.0/pull/516 are, well, an interesting read.

Not necessarily, sometimes companies will oversubscribe to offers, ie hand out multiple offers but only take one of them, because they know many people could decline so they don't want to be stuck with no one.

Same philosophy on the employee side, not beneficial to ride everything on only one offer.
Nice stuff! I love your selection of presets.

We have an electoral system that elected the Congress. Do you think they are awesome and doing an awesome job? 33% of citizens agree with you, up from 15% last year (all it took was distributing $2k to everybody - see how easy it is?).
Aren't the people who are selling NFTs attaching terms and conditions to the effect of "this doesn't give you actual ownership"? In fact, the article states:

Had a similar experience with Google a few months back - very disappointing how some companies play with people's future.
As the parent post noted, that development comes from having American jobs exported there (e.g., those Nike factories). Being a socialist society, the wealth disparities are far more stark than what we have in the West.
WFH people were more productive before the pandemic. There were just fewer of us. If anything, as everyone else learns how to be remote and to do it well, and the stress of the pandemic subsides, performance should increase to match those of us that have been doing it for years.
"... after North Vietnam successfully INVADED South Vietnam..."

You cannot invade your own country. If anything the invaders were the US.
In fact, you're talking about digits and numerals, not numbers. But this actually drives your point home, I think.
People quote this figure often, but it really only applies to detached single-family dwellings, which are commonly built for a single owner. Japan certainly doesn't build larger structures such as office buildings for thirty-year lifespans – no one has floated any plans to tear down the Kasumigaseki Building yet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kasumigaseki_Building
I second others: it is horrible, low quality code.

I spent lots of time looking at released drivers for things like wifi dongles and cheap Linux sticks/tablets, and there are all sorts of horrors. The wifi cards do not fully implement scanning or ad-hoc mode. Existing ioctls are ignored or implemented wrong. Sleep is used for thread synchronization. Android device drivers hardcode specific app names and apply fixups for them, presumably to prevent crashes.

Intel has much better code, at least in wireless drivers, but to be fair their jobs is easier, because most of the logic runs in the embedded processor, and you only get the binary blob for its code.
Yes, in known earthquake zones I would expect some testing, but in places like NYC I'm not sure.

In a few minutes searching I didn't find any reference to required testing of old buildings for structural or materials integrity.
You bring up some good points.

Construction specs often include “Allowed manufacturers” to limit your choices to certain vendors, which theoretically means you get quality material. For stainless steel, sometimes they’ll specify which alloy you need to use (304L and 316L are the most common) You certainly could submit the specified manufacturer’s product and then switch it out for a cheaper option, but if you’re caught, you could be forced to correct the work with the right material or be financially on the hook for another contractor performing the work. It would be up to someone else to notice that the steel contractor isn’t using the specified material, which may never happen.

The ‘use less of it than needed’ problem would ideally be caught by an inspector, but they certainly aren’t perfect.

Here’s a link to Cleveland Clinic’s electrical spec, if you’re curious how detailed they get: http://portals.clevelandclinic.org/Portals/57/2012_Elec%20Sp...
That's a step backwards. I would expect the RPi 5 to use something like A76s.
When I was single and in my 20s / early 30s I was a big fan of the happy hour / dinner option, but I'm old now and have a partner and a dog and even when I like my co-workers I'd rather just go home and be with them.
Why not taxes on revenue when it over say 1 billion dollars. And sales taxes or value added taxes. Luxury taxes on real estate and private jets. Excise taxes… and so many other ways of taxing.
If you refer to the French revolution's eventual execution of the deposed monarch, I'm not sure that qualifies as 'assassination.'
Ask HN: Would you use a workout/fitness app if it used D2C genetic testing?
Looking at the DNA analysis services provided by the likes of 23andMe and Ancestry, is it viable for a workout app to gain an edge over the various consumer fitness apps out there by using DNA Testing to come up with a curated workout & diet guide. I'm aware that nutrigenetics is still in its nascent phase and can see how concerns about privacy and security can pop up.
>First, it's a country and their people want to remain independent from the US.

My understanding of the war was the USA wasn't there to make Vietnam the 51st State. They were there fighting a proxy war against the Russians and Chinese and to protect the south of the country that wanted nothing to do with the communists.
I’d agree. You’d likely want to consult an attorney in that case as well, because barring some pretty extraordinary circumstances being fired 5 minutes into a job suggests the company didn’t actually employ you in good faith.

It’s relevant that tortious interference isn’t specific to employment, and thus isn’t really impacted by at-will employment. A company can legally rescind a job offer, or fire you 5 minutes onto the job. The civil claim isn’t that they can’t fire you, it’s that their employment contract was done in bad faith, and that they owe you for losses you incurred as a result of being a good faith actor who entered a contract with a company acting in bad faith.
What is the "winning" side? War comes at a massive cost for all participants. Interestingly the URL for the article implies the original name was "Vietnam war images from Vietnamese photographers" and was later changed to what it says now... I don't mean this as a slight to Vietnam whatsoever of course, I just don't understand using words "winning" and "losing" when anywhere from 1.5-4 million people died.
Ken Burns’ documentaries are profoundly life changing and shocking. Every person should learn about the history of war, especially during this time.
I wouldn't say it's abject poverty. But it's certainly far less developed than South Korea or Taiwan, which is the most likely counterfactual for a free South Vietnam. OTOH you could possibly argue (though far more speculatively) that North Vietnam would've turned into North Korea from the paranoia, isolation and humiliation of a loss.
True, and North Korea current poverty is totally made by the international sanctions lead by the US. Vietnam is a great example that a communist country can open slowly if not bullied into a antagonistic position by the US.

I don't think that's really how job offers and at-will employment work. An employer can terminate an employee at any time (even before they've started) as long as the cause for termination is not illegal. "Employment contracts" are contracts, and a stipulation of that contract is the at-will nature of the employment.
Cool, thanks for the clarification!

My only suggestion would be to maybe put the name of the seller in the URL, that way you can see something about who you'd be paying before clicking the link. I'm not sure that helps any particular threat model but it would make me feel better about even navigating to the stripe link somehow.

I was curious whether .jsonl or .ndjson is used more often. Based on frequency in GitHub it looks like both are popular but .jsonl enjoys slightly wider usage:

That's funny because I actually live in Tokyo.

My family also owned a property next to a guy in Vietnam who owned a collection of 30 Ferraris.

To suggest Tokyo's flooding problem is anywhere close to Saigon is disingenuous.
How do you verify the person in control of the "artists wallet" is actually the person who created the work (or is authorized by them to create the NFT)?
Yeah some browsers/operating systems have worse latency issues than others with Web Audio. However, it's possible to tune the `latencyHint` a bit when constructing the `AudioContext` to specify a custom value. You have to find a balance between too low where have buffer underruns and miss samples and too high where it adds noticeable delay.

After a good bit of trial and error, I came up with a setup that works well on all platforms I could test: https://github.com/Ameobea/web-synth/blob/master/src/index.h...
Re: India. It’s very common. Large IT firms like Tech Mahindra, Cognizant etc do it. I had offers from a company where they wanted around 1 year salary of signed check. If I leave before 2 years, they use the check.

Some companies go a step ahead and keep your original documents (Degree certificate etc) so you can’t apply elsewhere after accepting offer. It’s ridiculous.

Surely you're joking. Cracking a beer at 3:00PM is a classic sign of alcoholism.
Completely agree. The "winning" side might be politicians or high-ranking army officers. The population? In almost all cases, they are the real losers, regardless of which sides they sympathize with, if any.
Can someone better-immersed in IRC culture explain why the temperature is still so high? All the summaries I've read have amounted to nothing, and comments on all of these things just look like kindergartners shouting at each other.
I feel for this candidate and I’m sorry he has to go through this. However, candidates aren’t innocent in all of this either. I’ve been on the other side in the hiring seat where candidates accept an offer and then cancel in the days leading up to starting. This comes after closing out the remaining candidate pipeline and telling potentially qualified candidates that the position was filled. It’s not a good look to have to go back to a candidate to let them know they were the second choice. Maybe there’s less sympathy because it impacts a company and it feels victimless. But it can be painful and expensive for a small startup to have to restart the process.

Unnecessary if you have chops. Interviewing a candidate's references is a sucker move anyway.
>Comments like these are why women find it hard talk about their assaults

How does it have anything to do with women? My arguments would stay exactly the same, regardless if the person in question was a man or a woman or neither. In my eyes it isn't about women lying, it is about high schoolers making up excuses in front of their parents to get out of consequences of irresponsible drug/alcohol usage.

And I even explicitly said that I don't think you were lying, you were truthfully retelling a story you were told. I just doubt the source.

I have explicitly listed factual problems I see with this story. None of which had anything to do with the person in question, but rather the physical properties of the drug and the fact that LSD isn't the kind of a drug that homeless people typically use.

I am addressing factual things, while you simply snark me and segway into a "believe female survivors of sexual assault" argument. Quite literally nothing is similar about those two things, and conflating them as even remotely similar only does injustice to assault survivors and their traumatic experiences.
Exactly. At most you can claim damages if you signed a lease or something explicitly for the new job, but beyond that you are out of luck.

That's always been the case and it still doesn't matter. It would matter if this was an isolated thing that happened every once in a while, but the outcome has been the same, which makes it not matter when it's been going on for so long.

Not sure why you're being downvoted for stating a fact. It may not be a good idea to leave on short notice, but employees are well within their rights to quit same-day or same-minute.
