I'm not an expert so this is entirely armchair reasoning, but I can think of a few factors.

We don't have a culture of crazy investors, nor one of hypergrowth - I mean how many US startups went from nothing to a $1B valuation or takeover in a year, maybe two after they first started making waves?

Wages are not as crazy. Neither is cost of living, but it does mean the most talented people will pursue a career where the pay matches. Anyway when you consider things like income taxes going to a government that doesn't spend more on the military than any other country, socialist policies, and sane health care, it does even out a lot.

It's not as much of a union as they want to make believe. Anything that grows to a certain size will deal with a lot of international headaches. Freedom of movement and trade has made things a lot easier (something the UK wasn't aware of apparently, probably still stuck in English exceptionalism, and they're getting fucked over left and right because of it at the moment).

I mean one project going on right now is "they" are trying to build a EU focused AWS / GCE competitor, but instead of empowering or investing in a single company, or letting the market work for a company to rise in the ranks, they're making it some big international semi-government affair, where each country is fighting hard to protect and promote their interests. It's turned into not a technical or business challenge, but a political one. I mean I'm a complete fuckwit myself but give me a few billion in spending money and absolute power and I'll build you a secure EU cloud provider.

For true old Opera experience there's Otter.

But it's being developed by a very small community, and probably can't keep up, haven't tried it in a while.
With conventional CSS-in-JS solutions like emotion and styled-components, SSR with these libraries still extracts the stylesheets at run-time, so it's not static extraction -- where the extraction is done at build-time. And your style definitions still live in your code bundles -- inflating the size.

Both emotion and styled-components have dabbled in supporting static (build-time) extraction, but it's actually a hard problem to solve when you have such flexible APIs. The libraries that have cropped up to support this notion of near-zero runtime CSS-in-JS (Linaria, Astroturf, vanilla-extract, and more) do so by providing tighter constraints surrounding what you can and can't do.

Senior software engineer basically means you have a lot of experience. Great senior SEs have not only just experience, but they made most of it, by trying a lot of solutions, failing, they were driving their own career and decisions most of the time. They were present at their work, not just cruising.

Just do the above and you'll become a great engineer. Companies will fight to hire you. Just remember to not neglect life outside work and you'll have life by the balls.

I though the world was reliant on the Russians to maintain/supply the ISS since 2011 when the shuttle died. That was up until May 2020 when SpaceX began making flights?

You've never lost a product or service you really liked or relied on because it went out of business, have you?
Certainly it is possible. Though it would imply 10x improvement in Hamas's rocket technology and the evidence for that is scant. Perhaps, instead, the ID isn't that effective but that most Israelis have drunk their own Kool-aid and aren't running to shelters when the air raid sirens sound. Either way, there are reasons to be skeptical about the 90% figure.

I've also run into this frustration and come to the conclusion that for me, no learning style actually works except for putting what I've learned to use, and doing it quickly. Granted, that means I'll probably never become a doctor, but I cannot force myself to memorize and "learn" something that I am not using, but if I currently _need_ to know something in order to use it, learning and retaining it is natural and easy.
Ask HN: What hardware/furniture/hack greatly improved your WFH setup?
I'm getting some new gear to improve my WFH productivity--for example, I've just got a better webcam and an ergonomic mouse. Last year I got a raising desk accessory and that helped quite a bit with back pain. So does my leg rest and ergonomic office chair.

I'm now wondering if I've overlooked something. For example, I'm not very happy with lighting in my home office (this room is facing Northwest, so it only gets some light in the afternoon).

What hardware, piece of furniture, or hack has made a difference in your remote work comfort?
Seems like the website was hugged to death...
You can access the archived version: https://web.archive.org/web/20210506194445/https://vivaldi.c...

The short version is: they get money from things like search engine deals, which guide Vivaldi users to third-party services.
First and foremost, hydrogen production needs to be moved to renewable power. At current production levels it generates almost a billion tones of CO2 annually already.

And then, total efficiency for hydrogen fuel is much lower than batteries. In vehicles for example, while 70-80% of grid energy reaches a cars’ wheels, the figure for LH2 is about 25%, a lot more of it goes to production and transport than its actual purpose.

I think this clearly tells us that investing in new battery tech to increase density is a much more promising long term bet.

Exactly this. To some extent the language doesn't matter - although I think Python has become especially popular thanks to being one of the easiest languages to learn and use in practice. Then you get lots of network effects - e.g. grad students learn python, and when they become supervisors they teach their students python.

I'm pretty sure Galeon had tabs before Opera, but maybe something had tabs before Galeon.

3. They support IMAP/POP3 so you can make do with that for now.

I haven’t properly investigated their dataset they trained on this, but from the responses it gives I would bet that they dataset is skewed towards news articles, press releases, and infomercial or edutainment copy. It does really well when it can write a long impersonal article about something, but doesn’t seem good at the random sort of things GPT3 can do like autocompleting source code.

Procrastinating is normal.

What's abnormal is the fear of not being productive or competitive.
Kind of.

In general, getting good sleep means that you fall asleep fairly quickly (30 minutes or less), don't wake up often (once or twice), and you get around the average sleep for your age (even if it varies a bit). You should feel pretty well-rested through the day, and not overly tired if you are in good health.

I'd wager that you don't get good sleep, and you are suffering from us not really being able to "fix" sleep very well - in no small part because we are really in the infancy of sleep science. The sleep study, for you, really just ruled out some things, but couldn't provide answers.

I'm trying Vivaldi again since as an expat I depend on single-click in-browser translation.

For me, the killer feature is built-in no-nonsense vertical tabs, something I had in Galeon many years ago because it used the Gtk+ tab widget. I hate hate hate that Chromium cannot do this, because dogma.
I can imagine the leverage is 20 years of refining their technology. Sure, other companies could have invested in developing the technology in the last 5 years, and start selling or using it in 2019, but I assume it takes a lot of refinement to have this work nicely.
You would never get forced out by developers. You'd sell up because you can't afford the land value tax. This puts that property to a more efficient use. Whoever takes over your property will pay the high taxes, and wherever you move will have lower taxes.

I don't want any more of your PR speak or "we value our customers". That's crap and insults my intelligence. STOP getting PR to write your comms; just speak to engineers like engineers. I'd rather get no response than this post.

I hope there are actual details as they complete their investigation. If there isn't a public post-mortem, I am switching away from Fastly.

Not a big deal in the age of gigabytes.

All sort of magic happens in BIOS, but after transition to 64bit, it should be fine.

The only problem is when BIOS programs some kind of hardware (usb), to write things into the memory like descriptors etc. and the hardware will overwrite portion of the memory.

This happens on some board with some versions of u-boot for ARM. There you should disable all the hardware devices before running your kernel, u-boot may be left the device enabled.
I just had a sleep study with EEG and visual/audio recording. They said sleep efficiency of 95%, yet I almost always wake-up very tired, with a dull/stabbing headache, and sweating around the neck.

I also have physiological anxiety, treatment-resistant depression, attention/concentration/alertness/consciousness/memory deficits, tachycardia >100, rapid shallow breathing, high blood pressure (diastolic), veinous insufficiency, cold hands (but normal perfusion), almost no sensation anywhere, excessive sweating w exertion, lower blood volume, swelling neck/fingers/toes, and flushed forehead/ears/cheeks.

I wonder if it's a lack of exercise, chronic blood-vessel narrowing, and/or chronic low blood volume.
>You can show all sorts of chemical and biological explanations for the behavior, but it is still "behavior." It can be predictable, but it is not deterministic.

What makes it non-deterministic? A neural network is a system with a huge number of parameters and therefore a wildly chaotic output, but the output is still deterministic. Even if you introduce a number of environmental confounders.

To claim that brains are (more) non-deterministic (than other kinds of macroscopical physical processes) you would have to show that quantum effects have a (more) significant impact on their outcomes.

It is representive because it is a democracy. This sort of thinking you described is what leads to people skirting on their responsibilities.
I'm surprised it took this long for Vivaldi Mail to come out. I believe it was teased relatively early on in Vivaldi's life although I don't envy the developers that had to work with IMAP.

I am glad to see that some love given to RSS in a browser since it's been marginalized in all mainstream browsers. It's frustrating to see a refuge of decentralized media consumption be thrown away considering privacy concerns.

I am not the biggest fan of the licensing policy along with the inclusion of a third party translating service but I welcome any competition to the market.
FWIW, Microsoft Edge also has vertical tabs.

This does make me wonder, how long until we get a GPT that can drop pop-culture references smoothly enough to pass the Turing Test?

It's harder than other types of text generation, because part of the game of referring to memes is to do it in as roundabout a way as you can, using the kind of hidden inferences a neural network would probably struggle with.

But it might still be feasible soon. shudders
It is not dumb. Custodians are useful, very useful actually. With Bitcoin you can use custodians, but you can also host your bitcoins yourself if you want. The opportunity to do latter is the most important and makes Bitcoin valuable. However majority people in majority of cases prefer to use custodians, and there is nothign wrong with that.

> part of a python script and miss one blank space somewhere at the end of a line or start copying in the wrong line. If you use a dumb text editor the script will easily turn into a ugly mess.

I think we can bury this 'Python has significant whitespace' criticism for good now. I have taught python to people from hugely diverse backgrounds (including literature and law) and not once has this been an issue (on the contrary it's a massive help to readability).

Also, no sane person teaches people to code python with a 'dumb' text editor - you give them Jupyter notebooks or VSCode or PyCharm (which has an excellent educational version) or Notepad++ or something.
> Even though M95 masks were found to be beneficial against respiratory viruses (...)

You're contradicting your claim.

> It seems that pro-maskers vastly overestimate the efficacy of mask wearing (...)

You're desperately trying to use red herrings and unsubstantiated accusations to move the goal post, specially after already admitting that indeed you are fully aware that wearing a mask are beneficial against respiratory viruses.

No one claimed masks are full proof protection against COVID.

The whole point is that, and it always been, that masks are a low effort method to effectively (albeit not perfect) mitigate how the virus spreads.

Moreover, the main point of the mask was never to stop us from contracting COVID. It's effect to lower the chances of contracting the disease are nice-to-have. The whole point is that wearing a mask effectively reduces the odds of carriers (asymptomatic or not) of unwittingly spreading the disease. It is known that COVID spreads through droplets expelled by carriers through their airways, and placing a mask in front of their airways stops them from spreading by acting as a filter.

This is not hard to understand. Low-effort, high-reward.
The article says that BI doesn't affect employment % as if it is a bad thing.

The fact that it did not decrease employment either is a wonderful thing, and should be celebrated.

It means that Finland can use BI as a replacement for a number of other social services, and drive the cost of state support for unemployment significantly. This is excellent!
I advocate for frameworks in almost all team projects, the tools act as a set of idioms and best-practices your team should know and use.
There are plenty of languages that let you type without having to "type" out a type definition, auto types in C++, type inference in Haskell. Probably most of my Haskell code I do not need to specify types. So the technology and theory exists to make this happen.

But also, when has typing ever gotten in the way? Actually having to think about the problem and the correctness of your program? It's somewhat amazing that correctness is so easily discarded. People just get stuck in a local minimum.

It's not just annoying value. It's insultingly vague.

If my data centre provider suffered a complete outage, then I demand to get a detailed post-mortem of what happened (in due time). If they just tell me bullshit PR speak about "We value our customers", I'll be looking at switching providers.

As a Fastly customer whose site went down, I'm entitled to know exactly what happened. If they don't tell me, I'm switching CDNs as a matter of priority.

Use a short TTL on the CDN subdomain you use. Then setup an alternative CDN provider in advance, so that you can switch from one to the other in a matter of minutes.

Too bad all those solutions aren't truly decentralized.
Oh, I"m all for not building highways at all and pushing the alternatives (e.g. public transport, cargo on rails).

But this is a special situation, a really small gap between the Swiss highway and the Austrian/German highway, so transit had to go through the villages and clogging up everything at the bottlenecks along the border (or in Höchst, Hard, Bregenz, Lustenau, Hohenems, Feldkirch etc.)
Wow. The number of comments in this thread which focus on the trees, trees, trees rather than the forest is astonishing. The forest is clear, many people in the US with enormous wealth do not pay fair and reasonable taxes. But let us ignore that and focus on - well not even the trees but the leaves, leaves, leaves.
Is there such regulation for TV though?

It feels like it's 15 minutes of ads followed by 15 minutes of content right now.
Loved Opera back in the day. It had "page specific settings" that would let me allow to set HTTP/Socks5 proxies on a per-page setting - today you cannot even set a proxy anymore without changing your system settings (not browser settings).

If anyone asks, I used this heavily to bypass country blocks/redirects on a per-page level and also with privoxy on some privacy invading sites.
Article is nonsense. He's just found a way to dismiss a problem that guy has in a way that makes him feel superior. "You don't need permission" -- is a way to try to assert a higher status and pretend there is no real problem, rather than having to acknowledge a problem.

The CEO needs to be onboard with something as critical and basic as customer discovery. If he doesn't like the idea then that actually could interfere, and is bad news for the organization. And actually could disrupt the process and cause a conflict with the boss if he tries to do it in the open. Of course he has to do it anyway, but the boss not buying into it is not something he can just ignore.
Its a critical judgement error and also partly a rejection of the expertise of the employee and a failure to incorporate basic information into the overall strategy.

So I hope he is successful in his discovery and the rest of his job, despite his boss's poor judgement.

But as far as the article, I am not a fan of people that dismiss real problems and try to gain status by putting others down in a backhanded way, which is what the title is.
Do you have an older machine, or is it even slow on new machines?

I tried Vivaldi last year on my computer which is about ten years old now. Vivaldi was extremely sluggish (Chrome

It is important to make the obvious note that a loan means somebody is renting you money and charging for it. It will always be bad. Now about buying a car.

The best financial decision is to not have a car, it only generates expenses and usually are high cost to maintain, as you need insurance, maintenance and so on. As public transport isn't available everywhere, let's go on with the list...

The second best decisionis to buy a used car and pay with cash, not getting a loan.

The third of buying a cheap used car and getting a loan.

The 4th is buying a new car without a loan.

And the worse being buying a car you can't really afford, brand new with a loan.

The value of the purchase value of the car is pointless. What matters is how long you intend to stay with it, because when you do. You can factor in insurance + maintenance + depreciation and divide it to understand how much you will spend per month(This is how companies do accounting, you should as well do for yourself!). A lot of cars you lose at least $1K per month. You want to reduce this value as much as you can. Get a car that gives you just enough comfort, has a good reputation of not breaking down and doesn't consume a lot of fuel.

Just imagine instead if you had that $1k per month for yourself, invested it and perhaps was lending it to a clueless person to buy their own car. This is wealth :-)

As you can see, buying a new car is a bad idea. Sometimes it is even better to get a loan to buy a used car. A lot of used cars are sold very cheapily after 2 years and most of its value is lost. A used car has actually a better resale value than a new car, supposing when you bought it it was used.

So even if you end up buying some crooked car with real issues despite being only 2 years old(uncommon), you can always resell and buy another 2 years old used car.

If you really like cars and driving... and want to drive expensive cars, it is likely cheaper to rent them, drive it for a while and return it. You even get to experience different cars.

Brand new cars is for emotional buys, people who don't really grasp economics or are just too rich to care about it. Are you any of those options?
