I urge you to consider the possibility that not everyone who thinks vaccinating right now is a good idea is "pro government control". They may just have different ideas than you about what their responsibilities are or about the risk/benefit tradeoffs of vaccination.

In terms of whether these kinds of posts are virtue signalling or not, what wouldn't be virtue signalling in your mind? Just not saying anything? I'm not a huge social media user myself, but more extroverted people seem to enjoy posting what's happening in their lives. COVID and its various consequences certainly falls into that category.
Debit cards work if they're Visa or MasterCard, probably. Many countries have national card schemes for debit cards that do not work.

It's been a while since I looked into this, but my understanding is that quantitatively this is almost the opposite of what actually occurs: https://scholar.princeton.edu/sites/default/files/mgilens/fi...

"Multivariate analysis indicates that economic elites and organized groups representing business interests have substantial independent impacts on U.S. government policy, while average citizens and mass-based interest groups have little or no independent influence."
I have proposed doing it during work hours and got a positive response.
I checked, and it's about the same according to these:
https://www.7-cpu.com/cpu/Haswell.html
https://www.7-cpu.com/cpu/Zen.html

I think latency has a lot to do with the speed of light - since both of these CPUs run at similar frequencies, you can cover more SRAM cells worth of distance in the one with a denser process geometry, hence you can have access to a larger cache with the same latency.
If it had been available in common Danish supermarkets I would have included it :)
Your really not kidding, what a dissaponting comment section. There could be interesting thoughts about social interaction changing and people are yet again arguing about covid restrictions.
People without the issue don't need bullying either. This presumes an awareness of others, and that's really a downside.
Not saying that there aren't talented developers overseas (I have worked with many) but in general, the culture isn't at the caliber of what happens in SV/The Bay.

I've interviewed and hired many engineers from the UK and the first thing you'll notice are candidates with resumes filled with pointless certifications and years of cookie-cutter experience at financial institutions working on old technology. I could get into the more esoteric aspects of what happens in really hyper-growth SV startups but it would come as a culture shock to a 9-5'er from London. It also involves sacrifices and lifestyle changes I think most of those folks would be unwilling to make.
Very nice! And thank you for this work!

I would much rather allow kids to watch trailers of Battlefield than to have to give Google pictures of my ID/passport. But that ship has sailed now. This is the new reality and it'll probably be applied to more websites in the future.
My first job out of school, moved to a new city. For three year my only friends were coworkers. We socialized (drank) couple times a week and almost every damn conversation was work related, mostly complaining. I left that place because I "hated" it so much. I wonder how much those conversations contributed to it.
> However, there are lots of jobs where output really does scale linearly with input time. The obvious ones are hourly service workers in retail or restaurants, but even some 'high status' jobs really require the hours (healthcare, airlines, union manufacturing, etc...)

With manufacturing, I disagree due to the impact of automation - especially when analyzed over a long time frame, productivity has exploded whereas the number of employees has shrunk drastically and their inflation-adjusted wages barely growing.

In retail, restaurants, even in some parts of healthcare (think lab work) the situation is similar. Automation, mass manufacturing and containers (the physical things, not Docker...) have slashed costs on the input side, menial tasks like stacking shelves or cleaning got cost-cut (by outsourcing and by exploitation of undocumented workers), some places like IKEA and Amazon even eliminate the cashiers by having the customer do that themselves.

The owner class has reaped all the productivity gains and given back little to the workers who made it possible, and now they are asking "why is the American/Western market for cars shrinking and the only growth in China"... well easy, too many people don't have the cash on hand to splurge on a dozens of thousands worth new car!
I believe width is referring to pulse width, which should be a time unit.
This takes a blog entry? "How and why I drive to five different places with the same car!" You can run 50,000 applications on the same server if it has sufficient resources for them.
What I meant by this is: if you are starting a project today, and have to choose between C and C++, there are certain reasons why you might choose C over C++.

Those same reasons would apply for choosing C over D. They might not apply for choosing C over Rust.
I was just think of how to say what you said. He's not talking about introverts.
5950X with the top of the line noctua cooler jumps from 35C to 80C very quickly when a single core is loaded at 100% (this is the worst case, because it leads to max voltage being applied to the CPU cores (because of boost to almost 5GHz), compared to loading all 16 cores at 100%, which will result in just 60˚C temperature sustained over long periods of full load). So interestingly, compiling the Linux kernel with 32 threads is less thermally straining on the CPU than browsing the web and a single page loading 10 different animated ads.
A new tool in my cognitive-emotional toolkit is conceptualizing the difference between emotional validity and correctness. Far too often are the two concepts are left undifferentiated. Disentangling them leaves room for the empathy of understanding how people's emotional states evolve from their perspective, while also accounting for how their perception differs from reality. Why is this useful? By not immediately dismissing emotional states, we can analyze them, dissect them, and ultimately change them without unhelpful knee-jerk reactions which engage defense mechanisms. Don't fall for the trick of people asking for their perfectly valid emotional states to also be seen as correct.
There is kind of no reasonable way to do it. Because the content is classified into two groups: for kids and not for kids which is too rough.

And a lot of what they want to watch is formally not for kids and you will be absolutely ok with them seeing it. Especially non English content.
Rust 1.0 came out 6 years ago. There’s no need to sow confusion by referring to pre-1.0 code here.
We (software engineers) are not the elite just because our salaries are high. Don't be fooled by this.

We are highly trained workers. We're closer to the workers in construction or the other trades more than anything else. We just happen to get paid more, due to market circumstances.

The actual elite are trying to drive our salaries down every day.

Edit:

And even if after reading my comment you still think we're the elite, check out any "Ask HN: Who wants to be hired?" thread.

I'm bothered that this article appears to advocate for more of these crossings without including any useful information on the subject. It's making an argument with no data to back it up and few details about how these crossings even work.

The article at least cites some research about how many injuries and deaths are caused by wildlife collisions, but it doesn't give any information about how much animal crossing infrastructure helps with that. The videos are cute, but not very informative. Aside from that, it's mostly just qualitative assessments from a few biologists and environmentalists.

Why should the kind of information I'm asking for be absent from an article for "popular consumption"? I'm not asking for a research paper. Would mainstream readers be turned off by sentences like "Tall fences keep wildlife off the roads and funnel them towards structures which allow them to cross safely," or "A large crossing like the one pictured above can provide safe crossing for animals along a 20 mile stretch of road," or "After a crossing is built, traffic collisions with wildlife usually decrease by 50% to 80% according to the ACME Research Group"?

Maybe the lack of substance to this article has something to do with why it fell off the front page so quickly.
I really long for a modern, declarative web without client-side scripting. 99% of websites should not use JavaScript at all. There's a lot we could do if everything was more standardized and implemented client-side.

For example why can't we have auto-refreshed content standardized? Something like <section refresh-from="https://foo.bar/example-section" refresh-time="60s"> where user could accept/deny the auto-refresh and adjust the timer would make JavaScript completely meaningless for websites like Twitter.

The overall experience would be much greater: no trackers, no tab using half of your RAM/CPU to mine cryptocoins, no targeted ads, no weird behavior when switching internet connection (because everything would be handled by the browser itself, not by JS requests which may or may not randomly fail).

Gemini is a really cool protocol but i appreciate some aspects of the web like images and videos (with the builtin players, no JS please).
It really depends on the type, certain strains can make one more productive potentially. At least that's what I've heard from others.
What do you think of Paw (https://paw.cloud/) which has some overlap with Auxl and charges more and has been in business for over seven years based on a similar value proposition (native app for one platform with free alternatives)?

That's a pretty broad generalization. I'd argue that since it's a Chinese company, they were more interested in marketing the apps to the entire family, rather than the most profitable or most active users. Traditionally, that's how Asian companies have found long-term success.

RP 2040 is a board, not a processor. Did you compare an AVR datasheet with the ARM Cortex M0 Datasheet? ARM generally can't win this specific game against AVR.
How were you able to set this up? It seems like a rare employer that would be open to a role like this.
> Your second point sort of invalidates the first. You argue that the government isn’t the source of the harm, then justify the government action as a prudent balancing of harms.

No it doesn't. The pandemic caused the harm, the government acted to mitigate the worst effects of it. You seem to be of the opinion that the "worst effects" are the landlords losing out on rent, but the worst effects are millions of people ending up homeless during a pandemic, which is what the government prevented. Even if it was clumsy, I tend to think landlords would have been worse off anyways if there had been mass homelessness and higher body counts. You can't collect rent if your renters are dead or your own head is in a basket.
Adding a method to a class you don't control is also useful.
For some reason we never see any polls, just opinion pieces, but I'd wager that

(1) people think cooperation is a good idea

(2) and they also want to keep their own countries and identities

Once we start moving towards a single country, the inevitable question becomes, which rules and values should people follow? Which country gets to assert its way of life on the others? Or perhaps the virtual state known as the "EU" should assert its own values (whatever they may be)?

Now imagine expanding the EU to Turkey. Can we change their legislation to be more liberal? Or should the EU countries follow the hard line authoritarian islam that Erdogan pushes? No one is willing to change. And no one has to as long as the EU stays as a form of cooperation between nations.

If the EU pushes towards a single country, power struggles over values will follow.
Article states, that's because of

"Combining pan-European firm-level IT data with our management practices survey, we find that the US IT related productivity advantage is primarily due to its tougher "people management" practices."

So it's not related to IT engineering skills but rather how the company handles those engineers. An US based company will handle EU based engineers like their own, thus nullifying your argument.

> the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

I don't want to get into who's your enemy and your enemy's enemy and why, but in general the enemy of you enemy is only the enemy of your enemy. It can be your enemy too.

Lighthearted example: any competitive game between 3 or more players. There might be occasional alliances but everybody is the enemy of everybody else.
Not to mention languages that can be compiled to C.
I think in 50 years consumer-level 3D printers will be able to print pretty much any consumer goods you want. Especially "simple" old stuff like shoes and electronics from 50 years ago. But why would you? Old junk like that will be found in antique stores for small change (except for the rare collectables).

If you want a first-gen iPod buy one now (and some extras for spare parts).
This looks awesome. Excited to see how this fits into the space!
I read it as pitching flexibility in your schedule as a perk. The details are the details (and vary from person to person)
All the competent developers were driven away by its maintainers. Who themselves have no idea how to implement the spec'd features missing. So, yes. It's dead. There's a lot of insignificant noise about perl 7, drama and the new object system, but if you look at the heads and devs it's getting worse and worse.
For examples such as that, sed and awk will do you fine for POSIX / GNU regex.

For perlre, probably not.
Did they even replace the drop-down with a checkbox, which would at least marginally simplify the UI?
For me, the main benefit is I can choose where I live.
There is not many developer positions available outside of big cities, with WFH I get to choose both where and for which company I work. Living in a big city was a bad experience for me, I would quit my job immediately if I were asked to give up WFH.

Commute time, expense and risks are other benefits but others are talking about it already.
lol what a baby. Man up and block/mute someone on Facebook if you are annoyed by their posts. Stop being such a pussy and whining and bitching about it on HN. This post exemplifies everything wrong with people- everything is about you, complete refusal to take any responsibility and instead choosing to whine about things instead of choosing a simple action that will solve all your problems (the block/mute/unfriend button). I shudder to think how people like this guy will handle actual real problems with difficult solutions when you are shook by a "problem" whose solution is literally clicking a button.

Are you sure? Because I seem to be bombarded with pro EU propaganda from every angle I can think of. None of it ever has any sources of course.
I have been in the embedded domain for many years. I really like the approach taken by the team here. Particularly since this team is really well-versed in developing virtual machines and programming languages. But I am very much biased in their favor.

Embedded development is tricky, and anything that can help improve the productivity is useful.

The problem is that there have been many, many attempts at doing this exact same thing over the years. And they all have to fight the same fight: to get some serious traction for their particular approach.

Back in the 00's, Sentilla did a Java VM for the MSP430. This got a lot of traction - they even
had James Gosling himself vouch for the project.

More recently, Electric Imp and Particle.io have taken similar approaches, but with other languages.

Micropython and a variety of mini-JS engines are also around. Espruino, Tessel.io, and many more.

In a technical sense, running a virtual machine on a microcontroller is a really good way to go. You remove a lot of low-level friction that you otherwise have to deal with. And you get a lot of things almost for free, such as Over-The-Air (OTA) updates, and more control over security.

But when you get down to actually doing the work, you frequently end up wanting to have all that low-level access, even if you have to endure a bit of pain. Sometimes you don't even want to have an operating system with a hardware abstraction layer. You kinda want the bare metal.

So Toit are in a tricky situation. They may have a really good product. But they will have to get some serious traction. Developing a rock solid programming language and virtual machine is hard. Really hard. But it is way easier than to get that sweet, sweet traction.
> Rent seeking with someone else's money? Yeah, that's risky.

This point is enough.
I know of at least one person/group that does that here on HN, or at least did ~3-5 years ago.

Honestly, there's no incentive to stop this type of work. IG wants engagement; comment pods are peak engagement, you've programmed yourself to beat the machine.
Marin is a truly strange land. I go up there a lot (I live in the South Bay) mostly to go hiking and maybe pick up some oysters in bulk for shucking at home, and the locals do seem to have a peculiar mix of traits that seems both genial and hostile all at once.
If they are claiming E2EE then they can't admit anything like this if they are to avoid having to produce message content to law enforcement. So for this debate it doesn't much matter if the E2EE is actually bogus.
I’d add account details (including profile pic), platforms being used, IP addresses, and linked accounts (including phone #) to that list. E2E protects your messages from interception, but literally everything else is fair game.

This as much as you want to do it though. I share OP's view point, but will also let those house keeping tasks rote away for a while if I'm not in the mood too.

They'll still need to be done at some point, but now we have more choice on when we want to do it, and not just between 8PM and 8 AM or only on weekends, as it was the case before.
